Viper fans catching the spirit GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
D
AUPHIN, MAN. – By car or by plane, they have made the 1,600-kilometre pilgrimage from Vernon to Dauphin, Man. to watch Canada’s best battle for junior A hockey’s holy grail – the Royal Bank Cup. A handful of diehard fans are hoping to see the Vernon Vipers successfully defend their national crown, and become the first team to win back-to-back titles since the Vernon Lakers accomplished the feat in 1990 and ‘91. Since the tournament began last Friday, there has been a slow trickle of Viper fans and player parents arriving in Manitoba to cheer on their boys. More were expected to arrive Thursday to show their support as Vernon, who finished the preliminaries in second place at 3-1, takes the ice for the Saturday afternoon (noon PT) semifinal. They will face the winner of the La Ronge Ice Wolves – Brockville Braves game that went Thursday night. The Vipers shaded both teams in round-robin play. A trio of longtime Vernon hockey supporters – Nancy Noakes, Barb Anderson and Steve Maxnuk – have been here since the weekend. They flew from Kelowna to Winnipeg, where they rented a car to make the fourhour drive to Dauphin. “This year’s team has a lot of potential and they are excellent individuals,” said Noakes, a TriCities native who wears fellow American Cole Ikkala’s #12 jersey at games. “Their playing has been good to this point, at times fabulous, and I think they can do it. We haven’t seen their best.” When asked who is standing out for the Vipers at the RBC tournament, she replies: “Braden Pimm has played his heart out. He’s chasing and running… sometimes he stands out more because he’s a little more aggressive than the others.” For Anderson, it’s speedy blue-

Having supported Vernon hockey for more than half a century, Anderson is a bit of an authority on the subject. She recalls watching the Vernon Senior A Canadians in the 1950s when they were the big ticket in town. She explains there is a reason Vernon hasn’t appeared as dominant as the squad that went 6-0 at last year’s tourney. “They’re a little weaker from the blueline back, but a little stronger up front,” said Anderson. “The other teams have as strong an offence as we have, and the games are tighter this year than they were last year. Last year, we had a pretty easy ride really.” In between games, the trio,

who are lodging at the Prairie Mountain Inn in Dauphin, have done a little sightseeing at some of the many heritage sites around town, and have gone on day trips to surrounding communities like Ste. Rose du Lac and Wasagaming, which is located on the south edge of Riding Mountain National Park. There is also the massive Duck Mountain Provincial Park an hour north of Dauphin. “It’s flat, no hills, I’m not used to that,” said Noakes, of the Dauphin area. “But it is prairie.” Adds Anderson: “I see a large native population, a large Metis population. It’s a very old community – lots of stone, lots of brick.” Peter Buxton-Carr, who does the timekeeping at Vipers’ home

games, drove to Manitoba with his loyal sidekick, Josephine, a 10-year-old German Shepherd. A native of South Hampshire, England, he never really knew much about hockey until he immigrated to Canada three decades ago. “We were in Enderby with four sons and they all joined hockey teams. One year, we had each of them on a different team and we were traveling all over. But it’s a good investment in time and they loved it,” said Buxton-Carr, who was also scorekeeper for the Salmon Arm SilverBacks and Enderby’s North Okanagan Junior B Kings before taking the gig at Wesbild Centre. Buxton-Carr admits he could probably only identify a handful of Vipers without their jerseys, but
that’s because he only ever sees them in full gear. “I only see them when they’re on the ice with their numbers on, so sometimes, facially, I don’t recognize them. Some of them I do, and of course those that come to the penalty box you get to know better than those that don’t,” chuckled the mild-mannered Brit. Whether the Vipers win or lose, Buxton-Carr says making the trip to Manitoba was important for him. A form of closure after following the team’s progress all season. “I just decided to take a trip out here and see the season finished. It’s unfinished if they come here and win, and then they all dissipate. You don’t have the chance to talk to them at the end. You want to share the season right up to the end.” Heading into the final roundrobin game at the RBC in Dauphin, tournament attendance has been a fraction higher (14,210 versus 14,025) than last year’s event in Victoria. It would seem surprising that a city with a population of less than 8,000 would even come close to matching a provincial capital. But there is just so much more do to and see in Victoria in spring, whereas the RBC is the biggest ticket in Dauphin this week. Given the dismal weather this week, it is more than likely the only ticket. Add in the fact that the host Dauphin Kings, a physical, yet highly skilled team, earned their way here by winning the AVANET Cup, and there is a lot of excitement and local support surrounding this event. Having swept the round-robin at 4-0, the Kings are the team to beat, but after closing the roundrobin with their best performance so far, the Vipers might just be finding their groove at precisely the right time. A rematch between the two clubs would certainly make for a thrilling gold-medal game on Sunday.

News Car crash causes hydrant to erupt Morning Star Staff
City crews were left plugging an impromptu geyser after a motor vehicle accident in Vernon early Thursday. At about 5:30 a.m. an RCMP officer was parked on 39th Street completing paperwork when he heard what he thought was a motor vehicle crash. The officer then observed a vehicle departing from the intersection of 39th Street and Okanagan Avenue where it had just taken out a fire hydrant. “The vehicle was stopped and an impaired driving investigation was conducted,� said Sgt. Dave Evans, with the Vernon RCMP detachment. City of Vernon and fire department crews were called to fix the damaged hydrant. A 27-year-old Vernon man was arrested and has since been released to face charges of impaired driving and refusal to provide a breath sample. The Vernon RCMP were also left
dealing with another incident during the early hours of Thursday morning. At about 2:20 a.m., an officer attempted to stop a vehicle in the vicinity of the Fruit Union Plaza. He had previously observed the vehicle parked in the downtown core. “Based on the driving pattern, the member suspected it was being operated by an impaired driver,� said Evans. Once the vehicle stopped, a male suspect attempted to flee on foot and was apprehended after a short pursuit. A 27-year-old Vernon man was taken into custody to face charges of impaired driving, failing to provide a breath sample, obstruction for fleeing from police, and driving while prohibited from doing so. “This impaired driver was taken off the roads as a direct result of Vernon RCMP’s commitment to proactively patrol and target impaired drivers,� said Evans.

Stage three water rules put on backburner for now RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Greater Vernon residents are being given a chance to fill pools and landscape, but regulations may tighten up again. Stage three water restrictions remain in place, but on Wednesday, the North Okanagan Regional District board decided to defer enforcement for two weeks pending further evaluation of water quantity in the area. “This sets the restrictions aside so people can do business and we can get input and come up with something that makes sense,� said director Wayne Lippert. Residents are still urged to keep conservation in mind over the next two weeks, and there is the prospect that some form of stage three could return. “It’s very possible but I don’t see it for Kalamalka Lake,� said

“With Duteau Creek, we recognize upland reservoirs are a concern.� — Wayne Lippert Lippert, pointing out that 75 per cent of utility customers use that water source and Kal Lake has sufficient supply. “With Duteau Creek, we recognize the upland reservoirs are a concern. Level three restrictions could be on that source.� Stage three restrictions have generated numerous public concerns since they were implemented two weeks ago. Most contentious was a ban on filling swimming pools. “Pools do not use as much water as people perceive,� Lee Kazmar,
with Pools, Ponds and Waterscapes, told the board. Kazmar insists pools use far less water than lawn sprinkling, and residents want flexibility when it comes to the six hours of water they are allowed under stage three. Directors also heard from Bonnie Leibel, with Lavington Turf Farm, which has seen its business drop 50 per cent since the restrictions came in. “We’re not selling turf because people don’t think turf is a good thing to plant right now,� she said. Leibel also says communica-

tions regarding stage three were poor. “We should have been consulted with,� she said. The decision to defer enforcement of stage three restrictions for two weeks was made because of recent precipitation, the current status of Kalamalka Lake and the fact that water is spilling over the headgates on Duteau Creek. NORD officials are still concerned about this year’s water supply, with reservoir and snowpack levels being the lowest in 40 years. “We are going into a drought year and while Kal is good now, it may not be in good shape later,� said director Mike Macnabb. That view is also supported by director Mike Gavinchuk. “What happens in July or August if there’s no additional water?� he said. “Let’s not think we’re set for the
rest of the year.� Also on Wednesday, the board decided to add broad community representation to its drought management team and that it provide recommendations on restrictions as soon as possible. Staff has also been directed to develop a plan towards water restrictions that mitigates the effect on all users.

Direct payments shot down RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Okanagan apple growers won’t be receiving $10 million but some financial support is still possible. The Ministry of Agriculture has ruled out direct payments to orchardists reeling over plummeting prices, but it has indicated it’s willing to consider different approaches to try and keep the sector sustainable. “There’s a bit of disappointment but there’s also a bit of reality,” said Joe Sardinha, B.C. Fruit Growers Association president, of the government not providing direct payments to
“The government is still willing to help” — Joe Sardinha farmers. “The government is still willing to help the industry. We haven’t had an absolute no to assistance.” The BCFGA asked Agriculture Minister Steve Thomson for $10 million for growers March 10. The average price for all apple varieties is 13 cents a pound while the cost of production is
22.5 cents. The factors driving 2009 prices down are the high value of the Canadian dollar and foreign competition. BCFGA officials will sit down with ministry staff to try and determine where support could surface. “It could translate into several million dollars,” said Sardinha. Among the possibili-
Morning Star Staff
Spallumcheen residents will be seeing a tiny increase on their 2010 tax bill. After trying to hold the line with a zero per cent increase, council had to slightly alter its goal when revised assessments from the B.C. Assessment Authority came in lower than projected. “It works out to about 13 cents per $100,000 of assessment,” said Spallumcheen Mayor Will Hansma. “That’s nothing, really. It’s nothing.” The residential tax rate increased from 2.9021 per $1,000 to 2.9034 or 13 cents per $100,000. The change means a miniscule impact on the 2010 five-year financial plan bylaw of an additional $45 in total tax collection for the township.
Council is expected to approve the tax hike at a special meeting Monday where it is also expected to pass its five-year financial plan that includes nearly $4.9 million in capital expenditures in 2010. Close to $3.7 million is targeted for use on roads and streets, while more than $716,000 is earmarked for recreation services.

ties for funding are parcel tax relief, marketing, packinghouse infrastructure and investment in pest management. It’s hoped the federal government could also come on board with assistance. “That could double what the province does,” said Sardinha.

Since the accident, Molaison has had three operations, including one on her 22nd birthday Tuesday. “She’s up and down, of course,â€? said Stienstra of his fiancÊ’s spirit. “Last night (Wednesday) was good. We got her up and walking around. She’s going through all the trauma, of course. “It’s a pretty traumatic thing for a young woman, or anyone, to go through. She used her hands to do cartwheels, backflips and trapeze. To not be able to do that anymore is really hard. But, she’s a strong woman.â€? Molaison’s Olympic dreams were shattered at age 14 when she suffered cardiac arrest, and she had a pacemaker and defibrillator installed. “She’s been through a lot already in her life,â€? said Stienstra. “Really, she deserves a break but she doesn’t seem to get one.â€? WorkSafe BC is investigating the accident. Regional prevention manager Shawn Mitton said the investigation is ongoing. The shop remains in operation.

The City of Enderby is reluctant to wade into controversy surrounding a proposed incinerator. Council received a letter Monday from residents concerned about a farmer’s plans to burn animal carcasses on Matthews Road, outside of city limits. However, no position has been taken by council at this time. “We’re going to request more information first,� said Dee Wejr Mayor Dee Wejr. “There’s not enough information to say what our stand would be on a facility there.� Richard Yntema has applied to North Okanagan Regional District to rezone one-hectare of his land from large holdings to agricultural industrial and that an incinerator be a permitted use in that zone.

have been taken, some residents are concerned incineration could lead to issues of odour, contamination of livestock and traffic. “Will tourists make the trek to the top of the Enderby Cliffs to look down on a valley bottom choked with smoke?� wrote Karen Dittloff, with Concerns Citizens of Grindrod. “We do not feel incineration of meat waste/dead stock on the banks of the Shuswap River is compatible with tourism.� However, Wejr points out there are already examples of burners in communities. “What is the output from hospital incinerators or crematoriums?� she said. “There are other other incinerators so what’s the comparison between what’s being proposed and what’s happening now?�

Studying to be a community support worker, Christine Molaison and her family are now relying on the support of the community. Molaison, 22, was seriously injured in an accident while at work at Vernon Butcher Shop April 28 when she attempted to clear a jam in an auger feed of a meat grinder, and her arm and hands were pulled into the grinder. A former Olympics contender in gymnastics, Molaison lost her right arm below the elbow and three-and-a-half fingers on her left hand in the accident. She is currently recovering at Kelowna General Hospital. Friends and co-workers are holding a Smokie and Beer Fundraiser for Christine Saturday, by donation, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Vernon Butcher Shop, and Molaison plans to make an appearance. “She’s so looking forward to it,â€? said her fiancĂŠ, Tom Stienstra. “I talked to WorkSafe BC, her nurses and doctors and I’m going to bring her out here. She wants to come out and thank everybody in person. That’s the kind of woman she is. She’s received a massive outpouring of support. “She can’t believe something like this is being done for her.â€? A Facebook page – Support For Christine Molaison’s Recovery – had generated close to 400 “likesâ€? of the page by Thursday noon.

Spring takes a back seat
A
mong the many quotes attributed to Oscar Wilde is this one, “Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative.” I couldn’t agree more, so forgive me, Mr. Wilde, but lately I am obsessed with the topic. As my garden begins to come into bloom and I move the winter clothes to the top shelf in the closet, bringing the summer clothes into the mix, I realize I may have been a little hasty. Because, quite frankly, it’s cold. Not just chilly in the morning, but cold and windy all day long. And that would be Katherine Mortimer fine if it were just a matter of throwing on a sweater, which I’ve done already. But unfortunately, the cold weather means I have to face one of my greatest fears: winter driving. Now normally at this time of year, if I make one of my regular treks home to the Coast to see my family, the roads are fine. There may be some remnants of snow left at the side of the Coquihalla, but the roads are clear and it’s smooth sailing. Years ago, I lived in Revelstoke — nestled in the Monashee and Selkirk Mountains — and would regularly make the trek, through the Rogers Pass, to Calgary in my little Honda CRX, with only all-season tires to get me through. Same thing when I lived in Jasper, I’d go back and forth on the Icefields Parkway, where there was no cell service. I didn’t really give it much thought, just knew that I needed to get out of the small town to the big city once in awhile, and would do what it took to get there. Gradually, though, my fears began to take over. It may have had something to do with the fact that, living in a small town on the Trans-Canada Highway, the local paper seemed to be filled with stories about car accidents.
AT RANDOM
It may also have something to do with having grown up in Vancouver, where we were lucky to get snow in the winter. And of course the clichés about snow on the Coast are true. On the rare occasions it did snow, it was not unusual for schools to shut down. My husband, who grew up in Saskatchewan, never experienced the thrill of snow days. Life went on, including school. In the winter, I don’t even bother attempting to drive on the highways. I’d rather leave my transportation needs in the hands of qualified pilots who can whisk me several thousand feet in the air safely and in just 40 minutes from Kelowna to Vancouver. So imagine my distress when I went online and checked the B.C. Highways cam to survey the road conditions. Big mistake. The picture of the Coquihalla summit showed snow, sleet and vile conditions for those with winterdriving fears. My heart started to pound, I felt sick to my stomach and my sister advised me to just fly down. That would be preferable, but of course this trip involves my annual pilgrimage to my favourite Swedish furniture store, so bringing a bunch of flat-pack boxes back requires a vehicle. The fact that it’s May 7 makes the whole thing a bit surreal: how is it possible that I’m talking about winter weather? I don’t smoke, so can’t use that to calm my frazzled nerves. Adding to my stress will be the small child in the back seat asking me every five minutes, “When are we going to get there?” Fortunately, thanks to the greatest invention ever — the portable DVD player — she’ll be kept amused. Meanwhile, as I look out the window, the sun is beginning to make an appearance. With my hand on the mouse, I tentatively navigate online to the highway cam, and take a deep breath. And what do I see? Sunshine and blue sky. Things are looking up. I’ll be able to enjoy my road snacks and coffee in confidence. Perhaps I’ll really push the boat out and leave my winter coat and boots at home.
After many hockey fans in these parts witnessed the Vancouver Canucks drop a pair of very winnable playoff hockey games over the last 72 hours, it’s worth noting the success of our very own hockey team. The Vernon Vipers, for the second year in a row, have advanced to the semifinal of the Royal Bank Cup, junior A hockey’s national championship. The Vipers are gunning for the city’s sixth national championship and to become the first back-to-back national title holders since, yes, our very own Vernon Lakers accomplished the feat in 1990 and ‘91. It’s no wonder this community could be forgiven if it took its hockey team for granted, it seems to ice a quality, if not a championship team, year after year after year. Although it’s often said success breeds more success because everyone likes to play for a winner, any Canuck fan, or Leafs fan for that matter, can tell you winning doesn’t come easily. It takes hard work, talent, a little luck and a lot of community support, which the Vipers have ample of in all categories. So no matter how this weekend goes in Dauphin, Man., we congratulate Vipers owner Duncan Wray, general manager/ coach Mark Ferner, all the players and personnel of our hockey team, and, of course, all those fans that helped cheer them on all season long, and especially those who made the long trek to Manitoba to cheer on our Vipers. Once again Vernon’s hockey team is representing the city on a national stage with class and style, making us all feel like winners. Go, Vipers, go.

Preserve precious resource
T
he B.C. Water and Waste Association (BCWWA) and the province of British Columbia have officially proclaimed May 2 to 8 as Drinking Water Week. Here in some parts of B.C., we sometimes take our tap water for granted. Drinking Water Week provides a unique opportunity for both water professionals and the communities they serve to join together to recognize the vital role water plays in our daily lives. Did you know that a safe, reliable water supply is critical to the success of any community? It creates jobs, attracts industry and investment and provides for the health and welfare of citizens in ways ranging from disease prevention to fire suppression. In B.C., our water keeps us healthy, supports our economy, fights fires and provides us with a high quality of life. When you consider the critical needs addressed by water service, tap water will always be a tremendous value. In fact, it will be a bargain. You simply cannot put a price on a service FEES A CONCERN I would like to thank reporter, Richard Rolke, for the excellent job he did in presenting both sides of an issue with which the Vernon Tennis Association (VTA) is currently wrestling. I am referring to the article on the front page of The Morning Star April 18; Tennis club takes swing at court fees. It was a clear, concise and accurate report on the problem the VTA is having in the City of Vernon. All our organization wants is to promote the low-cost, lifelong game of tennis to the citizens of Vernon to improve their health, the health of their children and to keep them active into their senior years. Vernon, along with the VTA, has the perfect weather, the perfect facilities and over 100 playing tennis members already in place, but we cannot continue to operate with the high fees charged to us for use of these facilities. I mean fees that everyone, including the VTA, has to pay for rental of courts and use of lights at Marshall Field, even though the VTA contributed all of the money they had “in good faith” and showed support with a grant towards the lighting installation. The VTA gets no concessions in court time (so far all we have is evening time), or breaks in price. We are willing to pay our share, but come on give us a break here. We are doing your city a
that delivers public health, economic development and quality of life. Water is a limited resource that must be protected and conserved. If our water system could talk to us, it might remind us that it: keeps us healthy, fights fires, supports our economy and provides us with the high quality of life we enjoy here in B.C. The B.C. Water and Waste Association is a notfor-profit member organization that safeguards huge favour. The VTA is doing Parks and Recreation a favour by supplying the kind of programs tennis players from beginners to advanced are asking for. Other cities in this province have got behind organizations like the VTA and have happily supported them right from the start. It doesn't seem to be happening here — a real pity and a waste of a valuable and free resource in the dedicated people who want to better the sport's attractiveness for Vernon and area. Jackie Labuhn SOME ANSWER An article in The Morning Star has prompted me to write an answering letter to Mr. Eric Foster. Eric, your statement on minimum wage in this province is hypocritical at best. A while back, you and your cohorts in Victoria chose to give yourselves a 27 per cent wage increase. Just lately, you and your colleagues again chose to legislate our paramedics back to work with a three per cent wage increase. Personally, Eric, the paramedics are the ones who deserved the 27 per cent increase and you and your cohorts should have taken the initiative from your Alberta counterparts and rolled back your wages to a tune of 15 per cent. But what can I expect from you, Eric, when you have a transparent and accountable teacher
public health and the environment by sharing skills and knowledge, and providing training and certification to its members – the people who create and monitor the systems to deliver your water and treat it to make it safe. For more information on the BCWWA and Drinking Water Week, please visit www.bcwwa. org/dww.php. Daisy Foster, CEO B.C. Water and Waste Association in Mr. Gordon Campbell whom I refuse to call honourable anymore. I know the electorate is stuck for another few years with your kind of democracy but time will tell when that time is up. I could give you more examples of the way the population of B.C. has been, and is continuing to suffer, under Mr. Campbell and his gang. Eric Holopainen PLIGHT OF ORCHARDIST I have noticed the plight of the orchardist is moving closer to the back of this newspaper. Maybe this poem I found in a small newspaper will bring to the front of everyone's mind. Food for Thought The politician talks and talks, The actor plays his part. The soldier glitters on parade, The goldsmith plies his art. The scientist pursues his germ O'er the terrestrial ball, The sailor navigates his hip, But the farmer feeds them all! The workman wields his shiny tools, The merchant shows his wares. The astronaut above the clouds, A dizzy journey dares. But art and science soon would fall If the farmer ceased to reap and sow, For the farmer feeds them all. (anonymous) Agnes Heilman
VOLUNTEERS VALUED Volunteers are required to have criminal record checks done in order to participate in sport, culture, health, education and emergency capacities. Thankfully, the Vernon RCMP detachment does not charge for this service. Our neighbour, the City of Kelowna, charges $15 for this service. To the many volunteers in Vernon and area, thank you for your time. To the Vernon RCMP detachment, thank you for providing this service at no cost to the volunteer. Ann Holmes, Volunteer co-ordinator North Okanagan Emergency Support Services

Garden project funded RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Taxpayers’ dollars will help seed a new community garden in Lumby. Council agreed Monday to provide the Lumby Community Gardeners with $500 for the project next to the Old Age Pensioners Hall. “This is to get them started and off the ground,� said Mayor Kevin Acton. “There’s a lot of energy there and it’s a good group of people.� The non-profit organizaKevin Acton tion asked the village for funding because a federal grant it applied for may not be available until the fall. “This is a little late for us to get started on growing produce in the garden boxes,� said Julie Pilon, project co-ordinator, in a letter to council members. “We didn’t want to lose the enthusiasm of the seniors and community members that have worked very hard in putting the project together.� The $500 will go towards lumber for 10 temporary garden boxes.
Volunteers needed
“We will have to line the boxes with plastic as fur wood is soft and would eventually rot,� said Pilon. The wood department at Charles Bloom Secondary School will help construct the boxes. Acton believes the community garden is a way of encouraging local food production while bringing residents together. “It’s right by the seniors’ housing and the school will be participating,� he said. plumbing | heating | air conditioning | new construction

Vernon high school students are being given the chance to try a new trade and the best part is course facilities are right here in town. The aircraft maintenance engineering (AME) program will be offered with courses taking place at Vernon Airport. An information session will be held Monday for anyone interested. Previously, students had to go to Kelowna to complete AME studies. “It’s a great career opportunity,” said Vernon School District career programs co-ordinator Tom Williamson. “Here’s a trade you don’t have to go to Kelowna to do.” Williamson is hoping the sampler program offered to Grade 10 students will provide the right introduction. “Kids can find out if it suits them and then when they go on they’ll have skill set when they enter the course,” he said. The AME sampler course will be offered in the second semester of the 2010/11 school year, from February to June. Courses will be held outside the regular school timetable from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students will receive four course credits upon completion. Monday’s information session will start at 7 p.m. at Okanagan College’s aero space campus at 6225 Okanagan Landing Rd. Dale Keegstra, the college’s AME instructor will be there, along with sample course instructor Danielle Calder and Williamson. The session is expected to be one-hour long and is open to students in Grades 10 to 12. For more details, contact Tom Williamson at 250-549-9276.

Hockey tourney scores ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The former NHL players couldn’t score. The former Western League stars couldn’t score. No, the only person who managed a goal in the men’s division of the Cadillac Showcase Shootout during the Scott Hetherington Memorial Hockey Tournament on the weekend was a 40-something financial planner. Rob Bauml, a longtime star in the North Okanagan-based Interior Hockey League, faked a shot which froze goalie Trevor Seibel, then shot the puck past Seibel to win the trophy associated with the event. Bauml was the only player out of 25 to score in the shootout. Ashley Leighton won the women’s division of the fun shootout event held during a tournament dedicated to the memory of hockey fan and referee Scott Hetherington, who died 10 years ago at age 36 of a heart attack. The tournament also raises money for BC Children’s Hospital, and this year’s event surpassed all previous totals. “We raised around $14,000, which is up $3,000 from last year’s tournament,” said event spokesman Grady Gare, whose hockey squad, Team Gare, lost the final of the event, 13-12, to the Beavers, a team whose lineup included former WHL scoring star Dennis Holland from the Portland Winter Hawks, and former Edmonton Oilers first-round draft pick Steve Kelly. “We’re happy with the way the whole weekend went. The raffle and silent auction was great, the Saturday night dance drew a capacity crowd and lots of sponsors and individuals stepped up.” Ryan Abbott, of Vernon, who works in the produce department at Save-On-Foods – Hetherington’s
“We’re happy with the way the whole weekend went.” — Grady Gare employer at the time of his death – spent $1,050 to win a 1994 Vancouver Canucks playoff game-worn jersey belonging to goalie Kirk McLean, signed by the entire 1994 Canucks squad. The jersey was one of five silent auction items up for bid in the event, which collected $3,000 towards the overall money raised. Other winners included Rob Morris (autographed Martin Brodeur jersey); Cory Hintz (autographed Roberto Luongo Olympic jersey); Mike Johnson (Trevor Linden Canucks print, waving goodbye to Vancouver fans following his final game); and Kevin Porteous (autographed Bobby Orr jersey). The 1994 Canucks jersey and Linden print were donated by a fan after hearing that five jerseys autographed by current Canucks Daniel and Henrik Sedin, Alex Burrows and Luongo, as well as one signed by Linden, earmarked for the Hetherington tournament, were stolen from a Vancouver car dealership. Three of the five jerseys were recovered and were at the Vernon tournament, part of 12 autographed jerseys that were raffled off. Two other Canucks jerseys were shipped to the tournament, and Gare said organizers will get them signed and present them to the winners. A total of 14 teams took part in the three-day event, held at the Okanagan Training Rink in Vernon.

A North Okanagan historic attraction is almost ready for the public. O’Keefe Ranch opens its gates for the 2010 season Sunday, Mother’s Day. “The ranch staff have been working hard over the winter, and we are excited to welcome everyone back to see the new changes,” said Alicia Kay, special events co-ordinator. On Sunday, the ranch will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. “Tour the O’Keefe mansion, the Greenhow museum, the North Okanagan Model Railway or get some heritage candy from the general store,” said Kay. “There will be kid’s crafts/colouring stations and activities. Also, you can make a pottery gift for mom. Kids can try their luck and throw their line
Fintry falls hike a popular event Morning Star Staff
A spring tradition will be celebrated on the west side of Okanagan Lake. The annual Festival of the Falls will be held at Fintry Provincial Park Saturday. “Hike up the stairs to the triple waterfalls on Shorts Creek , which are at their most impressive at this time of year,” said Sandy Welbourn, with the Friends of Fintry. Gates are open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to view the displays and vendors booths. “Admire antique cars, and artisan displays, and take in guided tours of the heritage barns and the granite walled manor house,” said Welbourn. “There are more furnishings and artifacts to be seen that have been added to the collection during the last year.” Although restoration of the staff quarters building, close by the manor house, is not yet complete, major progress has been made. “Opening off a full-width covered porch are three separate rooms that were used by the butler, the cook and the maid when James Cameron DunWaters lived at Fintry in the early half of the 20th century,” said Welbourn. There will be live music on the grounds during the festival, and a concession stand. Admission of $10 for adults includes the guided tours. Children are free.
“A day at the ranch would make for the perfect Mother’s Day outing...” — Alicia Kay into the fishing pond, or do some mural painting.” There will also be new lambs to check out, as well as a bouncy castle, tractor rides, Zumba with mom and performances by the Some Other Time quartet. “A day at the ranch would make for the perfect Mother’s Day outing. There is truly something for everyone that day,” said Kay. For more information, call 250-542-7868 or go to www.okeeferanch.ca.

U-Haul fundraiser has plenty to smile about RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan residents can help create smiles. The Smiles for Miles fundraising day will be held by the Vernon and Armstrong U-Haul locations Saturday. “It’s a really great family event,” said Ariel Tyk, with the U-Haul Communities of Hope Foundation. Funds raised during the day will be distributed to charitable organizations or families in need. “We want to help local families. We will help them as they approach us,” said Tyk. As an example, a family may need assistance covering travel expenses if a sick child must go out of town for care. In another case, a woman who developed cancer was provided with special glasses because her eye sight was deteriorating. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Storit Place Mini Storage, 2504 43rd St. in Vernon, and at Askew’s Foods in Armstrong. Hamburgers and hot dogs will be served while there will be a garage sale and activities for children.

The Vipers’ Cory Kane (front) uses good body position on Brockville defender Alex Boak to try to cut in front of netminder Justin Gilbert in Royal Bank Cup hockey action Wednesday afternoon at Credit Union Place in Dauphin, Man. Vernon bounced the Braves 4-2 to finish preliminary play at 3-1.
Rookies give Vipers winning jolt GRAEME CORBETT Staff Writer
DAUPHIN, MAN. – It was role reversal time for the Vernon Vipers Wednesday afternoon at Credit Union Place. After playing hot potato with third-period leads so far in the Royal Bank Cup, the Vipers went into the final frame of their last round-robin game against the Brockville Braves of Ontario down 2-0. Whether it was the comfort of knowing they had already locked up a semifinal berth, or because they simply don’t like to lose, the Vipers cranked up their offence with four unanswered goals in a 4-2 win before 1,160 fans. The win secures second place for Vernon in the roundrobin. They will play in the Saturday afternoon semi (noon PT) against the winner of the Braves-La Ronge Ice Wolves game, which goes Thursday night. As round-robin winners, the host Dauphin Kings opted for the Saturday night semi (5 p.m. PT). The Kings clipped the Oakville Blades 5-4 Wednesday night to finish 4-0. Dauphin will meet the loser of the Braves-Ice Wolves game. The Vipers’ Sahir Gill jumpstarted the comeback, swat-
ting home the rebound from Adam Thompson’s point shot off the end boards. The all-rookie line of Pat McGillis, Trevor Fitzgerald and Dylan Walchuk equalized for Vernon less than two minutes later as McGillis tucked a wraparound five-hole on netminder Justin Gilbert. Fitzgerald, who hadn’t played since the Vipers’ final regular-season game on Feb. 21, won a puck battle in the corner to keep the play alive. “My game-plan going into today wasn’t anything to do with getting on the scoresheet. It was just every chance I got, dump the puck in deep and see if we could get a forecheck going. It was more to keep it out of our end,” said the 17-year-old Vernon product, who sniped 33 goals with the junior B North Okanagan Knights this season. McGillis, who has been playing in place of the injured Connor Jones (Jones is expected to play Saturday), has enjoyed the RBC thrill ride. “I sat out all playoffs for the BCHL so it was definitely nice to come in here and play some games. I like playing in this rink, a new environment, not a lot of pressure. It’s nice
just being here with your teammates… who you’re here for, what you’re here for and you’re focused on one thing, and that’s to win a national championship.” With a semis berth locked up, Vipers’ head coach Mark Ferner wanted to get his taxi squad in the game, dressing Darin Robak and Fitzgerald in place of veterans Bryce Kakoske and Dan Nycholat. Rookie netminder Blake Voth started in place of Graeme Gordon. Ferner praised the rookies for adding fresh energy to the lineup. “These kids have been here all year and they’ve worked just as hard as anybody else. We knew adding a few new guys was going to add some enthusiasm and it worked out for us. They were a big part of our success tonight,” said Ferner. “I thought it was our best effort regardless of what the score was. Finishing off the round-robin with our best effort of the tournament has to make our team feel good.” Ferner also noted the Vipers played 26 playoff games in 42 days leading up to the RBC, which might explain some of the uncharacteristic mental lapses this week.

After lunch, the colour belt competition began with the youngest children going first. The competition ended at 6:30 and all competitors were invited to a banquet. The youngest person competing was five years old and the oldest was 72. “The calibre of competition was very high with competitors ranging from white belt to fifth-degree black belt,” said White.

Robinson sinks Brockville Continued from A23
Vernon’s Heather Wurtele celebrates her victory in the St. George, Utah Ironman last Saturday. at Kona.” White is also coach to 2008 and 2009 Ironman World Champion Craig Alexander, as well as dozens of other elite and age-group triathletes. After winning the St. George Ironman, Wurtele talked about working with CTS and White. “Nick has really been a huge positive influence in my life, and has helped me gain so much confidence in my training. Even before winning [St. George], I felt more positive about my progress in the sport than at any point in recent history.” Heather’s husband Trevor finished a respectable 13th place in a truly international field of 60 elite pros and more than 2,000 age-group athletes. The men’s race was won
by Austrian Michael Weiss, the first time an Austrian has won an international Ironman competition. Heather and Trevor (former currency trader) are both graduates of Fulton Secondary. They currently split their time between Kelowna and Vernon when training in the Okanagan. They sold their home in Victoria, in 2009, and bought an RV to focus fulltime on competitions. They also train in California. Meanwhile, Vernon’s Aaron Heidt wanted a sub-par two-hour and 30-minute time in the 39th BMO Vancouver Marathon last Sunday, and he delivered, finishing fifth overall, in 2:29:48. Heidt was second in the men’s 30-34 category, won by overall champion Thomas Omwenga of Tampa, formerly of Kenya.
Wrangler chooses IPE CPRA Staff
AIRDRIE, ALTA. – The Interior Provincial Exhibition (IPE) and Stampede will host the championships for the Wrangler Professional Rodeo Tour this year. After two years hosting the Tour Finals at the Stampede Corral, the Calgary Stampede chose not to continue, herding the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association (CPRA) Board of Directors into the meeting room to explore options. “It was down to a couple of sites for consideration,” said CPRA president Dale Leschiutta. “In the end, it was Armstrong, B.C. that won out, and they were most appreciative of
the opportunity to have it.” “It’s going to be really exciting. It’s going to move our already great rodeo to another level,” confirmed Bryan Burns, general manager for the Interior Provincial Exhibition (IPE) & Stampede in Armstrong. Selecting the IPE – whose event celebrates 111 years in action this year and runs Sept. 1-5 – wasn’t a difficult decision for the CPRA. “It’s tried and proven. It’s one of the best rodeos in our system, and they have tremendous participation by the community. It’s exactly what we need,” said Leschiutta. The decision wasn’t so tough for the IPE, either.

Heather Wurtele wakes up every morning in an RV with her husband Trevor and their cat, Manah, somewhere in North America. The former Vernonite woke up last Sunday in Utah, champion of the inaugural Ford Ironman St. George, touted as one of the world’s toughest courses. It was Heather’s second win in the full Ironman distance. A former scientist with Natural Resources Canada, she won Ford Ironman Coeur d’Alene in 2008 and took third place in Ford Ironman Coeur d’Alene in 2009. Heather also won the 2009 Canadian Long Course Championships A Carmichael Training Systems (CTS) athlete, Wurtele essentially led the race from the start. She crossed the finish line more than 11 minutes ahead of runner-up Meredith Kessler. Wurtele has been working with CTS Coach Nick White on her preparation for her 2010 goals. Said White of Wurtele: “Based on her current numbers, I was expecting a win out of her this weekend. She is a great talent and, if we can keep her healthy, she could pull off a win
third and we let it slip away, which isn’t our style, which disappoints me more than the loss. It’s how we lost that bugs me more than the loss itself.” Gill, 44, played major junior for the Windsor Spitfires before going on to play 1,007 regularseason NHL games for seven teams. Brockville finished 52-8-1-1 atop the Central Junior Hockey League.

“Maybe we were thinking way too much,” said Ferner. “I told the guys between periods ‘Let’s just go react and not think too much about it, and if you’re going to be the first guy in let’s just take time and space away, and let’s just get after these guys.’” Vernon had a great opportunity to take control early with a lengthy 5-on-3 in the opening minutes, but managed just one shot on Gilbert, who posted a 40-save Game MVP performance. Voth’s first test in more than six weeks of watching from the bench happened to be a breakaway, which Braves’ captain Shayne Thompson ripped past the Herbert, Sask. product at 3:44 of the first period. Other than earning an early lead, Thompson wasn’t overly impressed with his club’s performance. “We didn’t actually get off to that good of a start. We were lucky to score a goal, but after that we shut down for the first. In the second we were able to play our game, but we let go in the third.” Voth (25 saves) didn’t get much help on Brockville’s second goal, as he denied Sebastien Gingras on his doorstep, but couldn’t recover in time to stop Shayne Stockton on the rebound. As the game wore on in the third period, the Vipers appeared to regain confidence by the minute. David Robinson, taking a feed from Robbie Short, wheeled up the left wing and blew a shot past Gilbert from 40 feet out, his fourth of the tourney. Cole Ikkala added an empty-netter. Braves’ head coach/owner Todd Gill, a Brockville native with more than 1,000 games of NHL experience (mainly with the Toronto Maple Leafs), says Gilbert probably should have stopped the second and third goals, but credited his keeper for keeping them alive in the early going. “We let them dictate the play and that’s not the way to win hockey games,” said Gill. “They forced us a lot more than any other team, and guys were kinda used to the teams being a little more static and sitting back. We’re used to that in our own league and why that affected us so much tonight… we just held onto the puck too long. “We had an opportunity to win a game in the

Rogers hits title No. 12 KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
When she wasn’t busy trouble shooting, Vernon’s Susan Rogers was delivering some clutch shots in the 2010 Canadian Masters Badminton Championships. A co-chair of the event, Rogers said she didn’t play her best in recording one gold medal and a pair of silvers in doubles action at the Kelowna Badminton Club. Rogers, who now has a dozen national titles, teamed with Evonne Whelan of Calgary to take the women’s 35+ doubles crown 21-6, 21-14 Saturday. She combined with longtime playing partner Shirley Thomson of Halifax to take silver in the women’s doubles 45+ (lost 21-15, 21-11 to Denise Vines of Kelowna and Claire Allison of Calgary) and joined childhood buddy Keith Priestman of Ontario to collect silver in mixed doubles 50+. Asked what keeps her committed to badminton, Rogers said: “The people. It’s a good game. There is good friendship. At this point, it’s about playing well on the court and having fun off the court as well.” A 50-year-old mother of two, in the process of starting up a racket sportswear company, Rogers and Priestman grew up playing the game near Kingston, but could never compete together since Priestman was a year older. Rogers met Thomson when living in Halifax, and the two have been partners for 20 years. A self-described finesse player, Rogers began playing badminton at age 13. “It grew on me. I actually started playing because my brothers (four of them) were playing and I needed to have more trophies than them, and it needed to be in the same sport.” Henry A. Paynter of West Kelowna and Siew Har Hong of Vancouver won the mixed doubles 55+, while Ezreena Scott of Kelowna struck silver in the women’s singles 35+.

shut out the Salmon Arm Merlot 3-0. Lena Urquhart started and finished the scoring with a spectacular penalty shot early, and later on a pass from Tina Garrison. Garrison drove home the middle goal on a pass from new team member Glenda Hatten. Solid net action from Shawn Nickoli stopped the Merlot cold. The Chick Kickers clipped the Vernon Square Liquor Store North Okanagan United 2-1 at Marshall #4. United scored in the second half off a corner from Andrea Zubot that connected to tiny Kim Cooper, who used her vertical to bury a bullet of a head ball. Keeper of the game for NOU was Karen Benn. Forward Tania Willett, who was released from the back line as a treat for good behaviour, ran down the defenders and made several attacks on the net.

The Okanagan Impact stopped Tillicum Controllers 3-1 under mushy, wet and cold conditions Tuesday night at Marshall Field #5. The Impact, who improved to 3-0 in the North Okanagan Women’s Association Masters Division, got goals from Edeen Ramsey and Shelinda Morin before Denise Connor’s shot ended up being an own goal. Jodi Hawthorne and Minda Chittenden were commended for their versatility and superior coverage of any position on the field. Kris Ponto also turned in an excellent showing. Emma Louis responded for the Controllers after receiving a wicked cross from Corinne McWhinney, who was fed by Tarra Head. Sena Bishop, Danielle Dunsmore and Jackie Nuyens provided fierce attacks on the front line. Sara Glen, Val Percy and Jody Pope were tireless on defence, while Shawn Yargeau, Michelle Mercer and Leslie Epp were strong on the midfield. The Goplen Driller’s, on a road trip,
opened the scoring 20 minutes in on a blast from 18 yards out. Irene Arrotta made it 2-0 10 minutes later when she sent a corner kick off the keeper’s hands. Five minutes later, Kim Teichman, with her first of the year for the pub crew, made it 3-0 at the half. Early in the second, Dana Reid completed the offence on a free kick from 45 yards out. Strong backline play came from Loren Brunelle and Kelsey Halvorson. Arrotta, Reid and Bobbi Cormier kept the gifted Little Tex forwards at bay, with Lisa Arrotta earning the shutout. The AF Blazers downed the Vernon Venom 8-2 Tuesday night at Marshall #1. Delihna Erbenich opened the AF scoring from Ginger Nickoli. Paula Brownlee then notched two in a row with Nickoli and newcomer Ally Cummings providing assists. The Venom ended the half with a goal off a free kick. Erbenich provided three more in the second half, scoring on two partial breakaways and one penalty shot. Nickoli netted two goals. Katie Hatten earned the win in net.

The Vernon Venom Under 17 club team won a silver medal at the B.C. U18 Volleyball Championships at the Abbotsford Tradex Centre last weekend. The Venom, coached by Doug Kozak and Andrew White, were three points away from a huge upset over Fraser Valley U18 Blues in the gold-medal match, losing 2-1. “The Fraser Valley 18s are a heavily stacked team that have dominated the provincial action this season and we knew that they would be the only team standing in our way this season since we are a younger and smaller team,” said Kozak. After going the distance with Fraser Valley in the round-robin, the Venom won game 2 to force a deciding third set in the playoff final. Vernon also defeated Vancouver’s Focus Pounders and the Air Attack 18s in preliminary play. The Venom now prepare for the U17 nationals, May 14-16, back at the Tradex.

After suffering back-to-back one-goal losses to start the season, Turn-Key came out hard from the start, opening the scoring early in the first half when UBCO Heat volleyball phenom Preston Tucker showed why he was a CCAA All-Canadian in outjumping the Davidson keeper to head home a Taylor Horsting corner. Defender Patrick Egan put Turn-Key up 2-0 shortly after re-directing home a free kick from Rob McGloin. UBC O Heat soccer keeper Spencer Brown was solid throughout the game, stopping a Davidson penalty in the first half. Turn-Key’s back line of Egan, Tyler Flood, Sam Nolan, Nathan Tucker, Damien Leitner and Greg Finch helped keep Davidson off the scoresheet. Matt Wylie rifled home a shot from just inside the 18-yard line mid-way through the second half to complete the Turn-Key offence. The Nitros dropped to 1-2. North Enderby Timber went to 3-0 by grounding Concept Physio 8-1 at Marshall #4. Brent Poulsen pulled the hat trick and had one shot deflected in for an own goal. Devin Janke added a pair of goals, while Harmider Sandhu and John Orton supplied singles. David Wells countered for Concept, whose keeper, Rob Spraggs, bent his pinkie finger backwards making an early diving save. He fixed the finger and stayed in the game. Salmon Arm’s Eagle Homes Nation of Domination overwhelmed Kal Sports Bar 10-1 at Marshall #2. Scoring for The Nation were Dave Knight with a hat trick and singles from Cody Harris, Dylan Jeffrey, Chris Black, Gustavo Ortega, Bugsy, Sean
Vatkin and Nigel Clack. Clack was named Man of the Match by his teammates and he celebrated by running to collect the corner flags. Host Salmon Arm Courvas parlayed four breakaway goals into a 6-0 win over Monashee Surveying. In games next Wednesday (6:30 p.m.) at Marshall Field, Kal Sports Bar battles Monashee, North Enderby Timber tangles with Eagle Homes and Turn-Key takes on Concept Physio. Courvas visits the Revelstoke Stallions. The Dynamite get a bye.

High-potential class fearful of being chopped TRACY HUGHES Black Press
Torture — that’s how 11-year-old Dominik Wilkie describes life in a regular classroom. Wilkie, who is currently enrolled in the high potential class at Ranchero Elementary, almost gets a look of panic in his eyes when asked about what would happen if the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District eliminates the program as part of budget cuts. “If they didn’t have this class, I would just crash,” he says, explaining that before he attended the class, which accommodates students in the age range of grades 4 to 7 who have tested in the gifted range, he was in the office for discipline issues often on a daily basis. Wilkie is among a group of students and parents who are attempting to increase the number of students in the high potential program as a last-ditch effort to keep the class from being dropped. Right now, enrolment in the class is nine students. School district officials have set a target of 18 to 20 students to keep the class running for the upcoming school year. The school district has given the group a deadline of today to have the additional students registered in the program, so it can be discussed at the board level at the Tuesday meeting. Currently in the school district, 200 students have been identified as gifted, while another 100 students are waiting for the testing process. Some of the students have travelled to other schools in the district talking to other gifted children about the class, which is designed to let the students advance at their own pace of learning. “We talked to them about how we are not bored anymore and we are actually having fun at school,” says Brecken Peters, 12. “It was good to talk to them because they
understand how we feel when you are always known as the smart
one and teachers won’t pick you anymore to answer questions and
people are trying to cheat off your paper. We told them, ‘you
won’t see that in this class, because, in this class we are equals.’”
The students do participate in many of the regular portions of
the Ranchero school day, including fitness and music.

(AVE GUITAR WILL TRAVEL Get ready to rumba when Jesse Cook returns to town KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Two decades into his successful career as one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foremost flamenco-style guitarists, Jesse Cook is still amazed at where he has been. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Music has allowed me to see parts of the world I never would have imagined on my own,â&#x20AC;? said the Toronto-based guitarist, who is returning to Vernon Tuesday on his latest tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The music I play doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have lyrics. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no language barrier. It speaks a language of its own.â&#x20AC;? A student of flamenco (Cook was born in France, but despite some reports saying otherwise, has spent most of his life in Toronto), the guitarist has brought his music to all corners of the world, and off the beaten path. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All music at one time has travelled from place to different place. Take African rhythms from Cuba, add harmony from Europe, and mix it with cultural sensibilities. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how music has evolved,â&#x20AC;? he said. Besides what seems to be one of his favourite haunts right here in the Okanagan (Cook has played the Performing Arts Centre at least three times the past five years), he has visited China on a number of occasions, and his latest sojourn has taken him to the roots of rumba flamenca, the form of music that originated in Cuba, then later travelled to the Catalonia region of Spain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider myself a flamenco guitarist as I play such a hybrid. I also try to speak the truth, and believe that music should be music. When we talk about it in these words, and what flamenco is, it can sometimes leave the Spanish scratching their heads. In Spain, flamenco is huge, but in

Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest album, The Rumba Foundation, released in September, is actually a hybrid of rumba flamenca sounds, mixed with those
found in northeastern Colombia. With his current touring instrument, a Brazilian rosewood beauty made by Canadian luthier William Laskin (which Cook says he stores under the airplane when travelling to avoid arguments with flight
officials), Cook travelled to the South American nation to work with traditional Vallenato group, Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto. He had heard about the Latin Grammy winners who play the gaita, a wooden flute made from cactus that is traditionally played in pairs, from some eastern Canadian festival programmers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re older guys who play traditional music from the northeastern part of Colombia. They farm by day and record on the side,â&#x20AC;? said Cook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The gaita produces a husky sound, not to be confused with the pan flute. You often hear samples of their sound in Shakira tunes.â&#x20AC;? Los Gaiteros can be heard on a number of tracks in Rumba Foundation, including the first single Bogota by Bus, which has a bit of a back story. The group had to travel by bus from their rather isolated town near the Caribbean on winding roads, through former drug cartel territory, to get to the Colombian capital of Bogota, where Cook met them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had heard that Colombia is supposed to be safer, but they had to travel through some tough territory. They were very cavalier about it, but me being Canadian, I was a little terrified.â&#x20AC;? Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s search for fellow rumba flamenca-Vallenato musicians also linked him to 23-year-old Panamanian accordion whiz, Juan Diego De Sedas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is part of a dynasty of musicians. His father (guitarist Lucho De Sedas) is famous.â&#x20AC;? De Sedas is joining Cook on this segment of the Rumba Foundation tour, along with violinist Chris Church, Cuban-born percussionist Chendy Leon, bass player Dennis Mohammed and flamenco guitarist Nicholas Fernandez. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be a mesh of cultures,â&#x20AC;? said Cook. The concert takes place Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. Tickets are $44 at the Ticket Seller box office, 549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.
Play strikes a nerve
I
t was 1991, and I had just graduated from photojournalism school at Loyalist College in Belleville, Ont. We were all impressionable young hot shots. Many of us couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to get out in the field. Being trapped in a small city for two years did not exactly produce many opportunities for hard-hitting and Pulitzer Prize-winning photos. I was in Toronto when Kristin Froneman I received the news. My classmate, Peter, a hilarious Polishborn fellow whose attire usually included a pocket-clad photo vest, had taken the plunge and gone over to the former Yugoslavia to cover the Serbo-Croatian conflict. His intention was to photograph the casualties of war. Unfortunately, he became one. Hit by shrapnel as he crossed a bridge, Peter was the first Canadian journalist to be killed in the war. The wounds still run deep as I watched Powerhouse Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current presentation of The Monument. Written by Canadian playwright Colleen Wagner, the story of a young soldier accused of atrocious war crimes, and the woman who shows him that war is a senseless act, had me spellbound. And it is not an easy play to watch, or listen to. The Monument lays it all out in a startling way, and its moral message is buried deep underneath the corpses â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; victims of an unforgiving war. The boy, Stetko, played in a stark and honest performance by Brennan Cunliffe, is a foul-mouthed punk who makes excuses for raping and murdering 23 women. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were all doing it,â&#x20AC;? he spits.

Dressed in a peasant’s frock, she binds the young soldier in a dog collar and chains and takes him to a barren field, where she then brutally beats him. The primal rage is shocking, but eventually Mejra’s story comes out, and we start to understand where she is coming from. The story goes beyond revenge. It shows how a troubled young man can be led astray by group mentality thinking and the propaganda of war. And although it is never mentioned what country the two live in, there are indications of the Serbo-Croatian and Bosnian Wars, where ethnic cleansing was

practiced. However, as director Jo Jones explained when I interviewed her
War is still around us. Hatred still exists. And young soldiers are still being told by warlords that violence is a way to solve their problems... It’s a way to fit in, comrade. The last act in The Monument is the most harrowing. Not to give too much away, it shows the young soldier’s remorse and how the innocent daughters and children have paid the price of ethnic blood feuds. It’s a riveting piece of theatre, and not for the weak of stomach. To the two actors who took on such a project, bravo. This is nightmarish material that was handled bravely, and with purity. There is no easy way to show rage and grief so raw that is doesn’t come off as parody. Cunliffe and Bob are truly believable, and should see themselves up for some awards at next week’s
Okanagan Zone Drama Festival. Director Jones should also be commended for not shying away from such tough material. The Monument runs tonight and Saturday at Powerhouse Theatre before heading to Salmon Arm for the O-Zones.

Why, for a brief spell, this picture has you questioning Krueger’s innocence. Hey, at least it would explain why he’s so miffed. Speaking of Freddy, this is the first
Nightmare project (the franchise includes too many sequels to count and a TV series) that doesn’t feature Robert Englund in the role. Instead, Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen) is drafted to try and restore the character as a figure of fear. Unfortunately, so encased in make-up that makes him look more authentic in the burn-victim department
(am I the only one who thinks he resembles Jim Carrey’s Fire Marshall Bill?), Haley is without expression. And because the movie wants to distance itself from “funny Freddy,” Haley doesn’t say a whole lot either. The verdict: Freddy ain’t frightening. And while this Nightmare is decidedly atmospheric, if Freddy isn’t creeping you out, what’s the point?

Veterans open venue to musicians Morning Star Staff
When the Army Navy and Air Force (ANAF) is mentioned, the majority of the public have a tendency to think it’s a veteran’s member club and only veterans can enter. Those days and ways are in the past and a new prospective for the future is being introduced, while keeping the traditions and support to Canadian veterans alive. “The very identity of the Army Navy and Air Force is the symbol of respect, camaraderie and support,” said Vernon ANAF Spitfire Unit No. 5 manager Nina Kaufman. To welcome both new and veteran members, the local ANAF has turned its eye on the multitude of talented musicians in the Okanagan by forming a partnership. “The ANAF is working towards keeping live music alive in a way that will support the community and create an atmosphere that generates a room full of happy people,” said Kaufman. “All we need is for someone to give us the reason.” In this new age, ANAF clubs around the country, including Vernon’s unit, are committed to creating awareness that presents accurate and uplifting information to any person who has a genuine
approach to helping others, added Kaufman. For information on how to become a member of the ANAF Spitfire Unit No. 5 or to inquire about renting the unit’s Hangar, contact 250-545-8246.

Mother’s Day blooms large for Arts Centre Morning Star Staff
Mother’s Day has blossomed into community support for the Vernon Arts Centre. The Village Green Mall has given $2,000 to the centre after it decorated 200, six-inch clay flower pots. The pots will be given to customers who present a minimum of $50 in mall merchant receipts Saturday. “In January we heard of the challenges facing the arts centre due to government grant cutbacks,” said Heather Rawsthorne, Village Green Mall marketing director. “We put our thinking caps on to see if there was someway we could
help. The idea was borne of offering a truly unique Mother’s Day gift with purchase that would involve members of the centre.” The minimum $50 in mall merchant receipts must be dated from May 3 to 8 and the receipts can be presented to the customer service desk Saturday to receive a flower pot. Also on Saturday, a number of Vernon Arts Centre member agencies will be showcasing their works of art in the mall’s centre courtyard. “As well, information will be shared on upcoming arts centre workshops and classes,” said Rawsthorne.

Senate reform moving forward
C
anada has a long history of Senate Reform proposals dating back to 1874. I want to assure you that our government is serious about Senate reform and believe in representation by population. This commitment was fulfilled when our prime minister created the role of Secretary of Democratic Reform, under the direction of Steven Fletcher. Minister Fletcher recently tabled a bill that will set term limits on Senate appointments to eight years. Hopefully, now that we have a Senate majority, we should be able to see this bill enacted. Currently, senators are appointment by the prime minister. Our government has had discussions with the provinces to help in the Senate
selection process by including Senate elections during provincial elections. This means voters, through the voting process, are able to recommend a person to the prime minister for appointment. This is not binding but likely would be respected by the prime minister. Some constituents have suggested that the Senate be abolished. I am not convinced this is prudent as the Senate is a safe guard that balances the power of Parliament to better protect the interests of citizens. I believe the roles and duties of the Senate should reflect the principles of a triple E Senate (elected, equal and effective).
Another bill that has also been introduced will increase the number of members of Parliament in Ontario, Alberta and B.C. These provinces have been under represented for many years and this new bill will finally give Ontario 18 more seats, Alberta five and B.C. seven. It is interesting to note that the average representation in the Colin Mayes Atlantic provinces, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba is less than 90,000 electors to every member of Parliament. In B.C., it is 124,000. Some have suggested increasing the 100,000 electors per member standard and having less MPs rather than
MP REPORT
increasing the number. It would be more cost effective, but would we be diluting the ability of a MP to represent his/her constituents effectively? There is a process that is followed during redistribution and that process will begin once the minister’s bills have been enacted by Parliament. In an interesting twist, the Bloc Quebecois introduced a motion last week promoting the idea that Quebec be guaranteed 25 per cent of the seats in Parliament. Fortunately, this bill was defeated as it was contrary to representation by population which is a fundamental principle of our democracy. I am pleased that our government is moving forward to give Canadians the accountable, democratic institutions they deserve.

The B.C. government is extending its trade and labour agreement with Alberta to include Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall signed on with B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell and Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach at a joint cabinet meeting in Regina recently. Saskatchewan had earlier declined to join the partnership that came into full effect between the two westernmost provinces in April 2009. “The New West Partnership Agreement satisfies Saskatchewan’s concerns regarding public ownership of Crown corporations and the ability of municipalities to support economic development,” the three governments said in a joint statement. By 2013, Saskatchewan will harmonize regulations, business reporting requirements and agree to “non-discriminatory” purchasing rules for its municipalities, health regions, school boards and publicly funded universities and colleges. Local governments and education agencies will have discretion when buying goods and services worth up to $75,000 and con-
struction projects up to $200,000. The three provinces will also co-ordinate their international trade efforts, starting with trade mission to China and Japan in May to promote clean technol-

Government full of energy
A
s the B.C. government was unveiling its new Clean Energy Act last week, a brown stain bloomed in the Gulf of Mexico, visible from outer space. The disaster on an offshore oil platform is shaping up as the biggest spill in North American history, surpassing the grounding of the supertanker Exxon Valdez in 1989. It will change the politics of energy in the United States and Canada as well. With the gusher beginning to wash ashore and estimates that it could take three months or more to get it stopped, it will become more difficult to portray Alberta’s oil sands development as the continent’s biggest environmental threat. The death of 1,000 ducks due to a brief failure of protection measures around a Fort McMurray process pond won’t be making too many headlines in the next while. Electric and natural gas vehicles suddenly don’t seem like such fringe ideas any more. In California, they’ve been wringing their hands over whether hydro power from B.C.’s larger run-of-river projects is sufficiently tidy to accept into their air conditioners. This is in a country with 650 power plants burning lowgrade coal to supply the majority of its domestic electricity needs. This silliness can’t last. Canada has 21 coal-fired plants, and coal is the main power source for Alberta and Saskatchewan. Ontario is working to shut down its four coal burners, while Alberta builds a new one with government funding to develop the financially dubious notion of carbon capture and storage underground.
Here’s the gist of B.C.’s new Clean Energy Act. The third dam on the Peace River, if approved, will be the last big dam in the foreseeable future. Its capacity will expand B.C. Hydro’s ability to purchase more power from a range of intermittent sources – including wind and biomass – and increase electricity exports, not just to the U.S., but to Alberta and Saskatchewan. The legislation also directs B.C. Hydro to meet two-thirds of new demand in the coming years from conservation, up from the already
ambitious goal of 50 per cent. This will be done in part through a $2-billion project to install “smart meters” in every home, allowing the utility to charge higher rates at peak times and give you a discount for running the clothes dryer late at night. The govTom Fletcher ernment’s critics focused on the impact on rates. The Site C dam on the Peace, new power lines to supply the mining and gas industries in B.C.’s remote northwest and northeast, and a series of B.C. Hydro powerpurchase contracts with private suppliers will all

be excluded from scrutiny by the B.C. Utilities Commission. NDP energy critic John Horgan says this will mean the government will require B.C. Hydro to pay enough to make massive projects such as the Bute Inlet run-of-river complex and an offshore wind farm off Haida Gwaii viable. Private projects will get a subsidy from regular folks, and Powerex, Hydro’s export division, will turn into a sales force for the barons of private power, Horgan predicts. Energy Minister Blair Lekstrom is emphatic in response. Export contracts will have to be worked out first, and then B.C. Hydro will purchase power only at

rates that it can justify through export returns. The B.C. Utilities Commission retains authority over domestic electricity rates, and that will protect B.C. residents from subsidizing exports, Lekstrom says. That will be easier said than done, and it depends on places like California being prepared to pay handsomely for clean, reliable energy.

NOTICE OF CONSULTATION
We wish to advise that the following Bylaw will be considered by the Regional Board: RURAL WESTSIDE OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN BYLAW NO. 1274 (File: 6480-20) The Rural Westside Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1274 is an environmental policy and guideline update for the North Westside and Crystal Mountain areas of the Regional District of Central Okanagan. Specifically, new Environmental DP Area designations are proposed (Sensitive Terrestrial, Hillside, & Wildfire) and the existing Aquatic Development Permit provisions of Bylaw No. 785 have been updated to ensure consistency throughout the Regional District. A common methodology was used to develop environmental mapping, interpret the information, and to develop useable, effective, and efficient policies and development permit guidelines. If adopted, the Rural Westside Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1274 will replace the Regional District’s current “Westside Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1050, 2005” and “North Westside Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 785, 1999”. In accordance with the Local Government Statutes Amendment Act 2000, this ‘Notice of Consultation’ reflects a legislative requirement of the Ministry of Community and Rural Development, in addition to the requirement of a Public Hearing. The intent is that input will be obtained from those citizens and public authorities affected by the proposed OCP early in the process in order to address any concerns in advance of the public hearing. Please note that the public hearing has not been scheduled at this time. Enquiries related to the proposed bylaw should be directed to the Development Services Department, Regional District office, 1450 KLO Road, Kelowna, B.C., V1W 3Z4 (250-469-6227) to the attention of Ron Fralick, Planner 1. Copies of the bylaw, information, correspondence and reports are available for inspection during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.), Monday to Friday inclusive (excluding Statutory Holidays).

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Don’t hesitate to aim for targets you always thought of as being too large or overwhelming. It’s time to elevate your sights regarding the kind of objectives you can handle. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) You may or may not like partnership arrangements, but starting today you’re likely to enter into several that could prove to be quite fruitful. Welcome the opportunity to do so. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23) Starting today, things could begin moving and shaking when it comes to enhancing your material circumstances. Some type of happening could occur that is likely to generate larger earnings. SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 22) Don’t be discouraged if things haven’t been going well for you in the romance department. Cupid is readying his bow in order to hit a new target for you. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23-DEC. 21) It behooves you to utilize your talents and skills to the fullest at this point in time. You’re entering a new cycle where initiative and know-how will strike gold. CAPRICORN DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Your popularity could start to take on a more pronounced upward swing today. Both family and friends are likely to find you more appealing and be more appreciative of who and what you are.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 19) Soon you might be able to acquire several items you’ve desired but have denied yourself for lack of funds. Over the next few weeks your financial prospects could climb significantly. PISCES (FEB. 20-MARCH 20) There’s a good chance you’ve been holding back what is a promising idea because of a lack of faith in yourself. Something might happen today that will cause you to finally reveal your thinking, to great applause. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Debts could be settled once and for all today, either what another owes you or perhaps a payment plan you may have had for some time. In either case, it’ll be out of your hair. YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY Your financial position could begin to strengthen over the year ahead, allowing you to acquire a number of items you’ve always wanted. Of equal importance, however, are several nonmaterial desires that could be gratified as well.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

Bridge by Phillip Alder A Cheyenne proverb goes: “A danger foreseen is half-avoided.” That certainly applies at the bridge table. Over the last two days, we looked at deals that seemed to have an obvious danger, but there was a different threat that suddenly proved fatal after declarer started down the wrong road. Here is a third example. How should South plan the play in six spades after West leads the heart king? We could discuss the bidding for a whole column. In this sequence, after South jumped to four spades, North, who had wanted to act on the first round, control-bid (cue-bid) five hearts. This encouraged South to bid the slam.
The simple line is to assume that the diamond finesse is working. But if declarer discards a club at trick one, draws trumps, and runs the diamond eight, here he loses one diamond and one club. If the diamond finesse is working, South cannot go down. So he should assume that West has the diamond king. And if he does, from the point-count, East holds the club ace. Declarer must put East on the spot. South ruffs in his hand at trick one, draws trumps ending on the board, then leads a club toward his jack. How does East defend? If he ducks, declarer takes the trick, crosses to dummy with a trump, discards his second club
on the heart ace, and loses only one diamond. If East wins with his club ace and shifts to a diamond, South takes his ace, cashes the club jack, plays a spade to dummy’s queen, and discards his last three diamonds on the heart ace and club king-queen.

CSRD moves dispatch service to Surrey Cell phone in hand, Columbia-Shuswap Regional District fire services co-ordinator Jack Blair called 911 and asked for fire dispatch. “Within five seconds they knew I was on the North Shore and within 10 seconds they knew I was 64 metres from the corner of Squilax Road and Wharf Road,” he said. “It’s pretty amazing.” Blair was checking out the new, technologically advanced fire dispatch system in Surrey, that as of April 30 at noon, began providing fire dispatch service to the region. While savings to CSRD taxpayers will be upwards of $370,000 and more than $200,000 for the City of Salmon Arm, there is also a cost. Four local full-time and four relief fire dispatchers have lost their jobs. “It’s certainly going to be a better service for us, but the crappy thing is the guys are going away from us,” said fire chief Brad Shirley. “We’re losing the personal touch.” Meanwhile, Blair says dispatching costs for the whole of the regional district will drop from $113,000 to $18,000 - and offer a big bang for the bucks. “The biggest thing is taking advantage of the latest technology available for dispatching calls and pre-fire planning,” says Blair, noting firefighters will. “Once we get the system up and operating, when a fire call comes in an incident report will be available to the firefighters upon their arrival at the fire hall – a printed sheet that contains all pertinent information to that call, including location, street corners, cross streets.” A printout of a map showing exact location of the house and any nearby fire hydrant will also be available, says Blair.
“The biggest thing is taking advantage of the latest technology available.” — Jack Blair Another advantage of the new technology is that fire dispatch can enter popular names of places known to longtime residents, but not necessarily to firefighters. Places like Five Corners in Salmon Arm
and Beer Bottle Bay near Herald Park will be included in the data, along with the proper identification. One feature is that when Surrey Dispatch receives a 911 call from a cell phone, they will be able to get GPS co-
ordinates to within 150 metres of the phone. “It’s not just about the money, the safety of our firefighters is the paramount thing in my mind,” says Blair. “To give them the best tools and highest technology we can to
assist in doing some very dangerous work.” Any 911 call made from the Shuswap is picked up at a police dispatch office in Kelowna. As always, calls for an ambulance will continue to be forwarded to Kamloops and police calls to the Salmon Arm detachment. ‘As for our customers, when dialing 911 and reporting a fire, they should see no difference,” says Shirley.

Hit U.S. television show finds an Okanagan connection when the Bachelorette selects a local photographer to shoot her engagement photos JULIE MELANSON Special to The Morning Star
Renee Leveille is only into her second season with her wedding photography business in the Okanagan and already sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s captured Okanagan celebrity Jillian Harris, from the ABC television show The Bachelorette, in her engagement photos with fiancĂŠ Ed Swiderski. Living in the Okanagan, Leveille was a fan of Harrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; but they had never met. Leveille sent the bachelorette a note with flowers to which Harris responded immediately by calling from LA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were 50 or 60 photographers that had e-mailed me about doing engagement photos, but I just instinctively went to Renee because she had been a supporter. I went to her website and loved her work and it seemed like an obvious choice,â&#x20AC;? said Harris. Leveille aims to transform every precious memory into an actual work of art. She describes her work as progressive. For the photo shoot with the couple, Harris was adamant that she wanted the photos to be taken outside, so Leveille put on her creative hat and came up with an idea that she thought would suit Harris perfectly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jillian didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the photos to be portrait style. She wanted something a little more fashionable,â&#x20AC;? said Leveille. Leveille took the couple on a tour to include fun locations in the Okanagan: the Gellatly Nut Farm and an auto-wrecking yard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both Ed and my father were in the automotive industry so they both loved that idea. Ed and I are both big car buffs, too, so it worked really well. It gave the photos that artsy feel but still with a pop of colour,â&#x20AC;? said Harris. In shooting the photographs, Leveille said she wanted something unique for the

It was a really cold day so I brought them hot chocolate. They looked so cute sipping on
their cups, that adding the hot chocolate into the shots seemed totally appropriate,â&#x20AC;? said Leveille. This is not the first time that Leveille has had a unique location or circumstance for a wedding.

life C Capturing the Bachelorette â&#x20AC;&#x153;Destination weddings are a growing market because in some respect it is a simplicity to the day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it takes stress off of the bride and they like the exotic locale,â&#x20AC;? said Leveille. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shot weddings in the U.S., Europe and the Caribbean, however now the Okanagan is becoming a destination. Half of my clients come from Alberta â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they are excited about the weather, the vineyards, the scenic backdrops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had one client from Paulatuk, Northwest Territories, where they have a population of 300. The bride called me on her satellite phone. She had found Wedded Bliss on the Internet. They were going to have their wedding in the Lake Country, as the groom had been an RCMP officer in Kelowna. We did all the organizing through the Internet.â&#x20AC;? Leveilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photography talent and ambitious nature are proving successful in the photography world. Wedded Bliss won the coveted Best Wedding Photo of 2009 and Best Engagement Photo of 2009 with the prestigious bride.ca. Many of her shoots include a team approach, with a second photographer using different lenses and gear. Local photographer Kate Mahaits joined forces with Leveille in her first season and they have been growing strong ever since. Leveille hopes to continue growing the business to include more photographers under the Wedded Bliss umbrella. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wedded Bliss is creative, modern, evolving,â&#x20AC;? said Leveille. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been using a lot of new approaches such as video lighting. We want to make people look as glamorous and radiant as they can. Using natural and video light with dramatic architecture we can work on capturing the emotion.â&#x20AC;? This year Leveille will be studying with one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top-10 wedding photographers, Jerry Ghionis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to a five-day intensive course with 15 students, learning from a master â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a whole new creative approach.â&#x20AC;? Last year, she studied with another top10 wedding photographer, Joe Buissink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about taking my unique style and then taking it to the next level as I learn from the masters of wedding photography.â&#x20AC;? Leveille is passionate about wedding photography. So passionate in fact that unlike most photographers, all she does is wedding photography. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As summer nears, I am really looking forward to the upcoming season.â&#x20AC;?

Soup Kitchen serves up a need More groups needed for Saturday lunches to continue
would take turns with the lunch three to six times a year. Each lunch costs the sponsoring group $200 to $300, depending on their choice of menu, with shopping done at the groups’ convenience and preparation and set-up done at All Saints in the morning. The meal is served from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and cleanup is usually finished by 1:30 p.m. Training and mentoring is provided. For more information call All Saints Anglican Church at 250-542-3179 or e-mail to allsaintsvernon@ telus.net.

The free Saturday lunches for anyone in need started 15 years ago when several concerned groups realized that there were people going hungry over the weekend with no access to food. The Ecumenical Concerns Committee, made up of representatives of local churches and service organizations, began to offer lunch (AKA Saturday Soup Kitchen), sometimes serving as many as 200 people. For the past eight years, the lunch has been at All Saints Anglican Church serving between 80 and 115 people of all ages, including families, each Saturday. “We welcome anyone who finds themselves needing a little extra support,” said Sharon Litke, representing St. James Church. The groups on the committee each take several turns each year to buy the food, prepare the meal and clean up. In the past year, Kidston and Ellison elementary schools have made lunches as community projects. Chuck Harper, manager of the Upper Room Mission, said the lunches make a big difference in the community.

Michael Robinson of the Ecumenical Concerns Committee says the committee needs more groups to sponsor meals or it may not be able to continue to provide free lunches for the needy on Saturdays. “The Saturday Soup Kitchen is a huge benefit to the Upper Room Mission because it allows them to shut down the kitchen there and clean and organize for the week,” he said. While the Saturday lunch is always wellattended, committee members are wondering if they will be able to continue the program. Some longtime and much-appreciated committee members have to
withdraw from taking part and the committee is looking to replace them so that the work can be evenly shared. “We have recently seen numbers go up and we need some new groups,” said committee chairman Michael Robinson. “People
tell us this is rewarding and that they enjoy doing this as a group. Our guests are gracious, thankful and helpful.” Litke added, “We get benefit from it too, from being of service to others.” The committee would like to find groups that

Sister finds pet name disturbing
D
ear Annie: I have a beautiful, outgoing younger half-sister. “Emma” is 25 and has had a hard life. Her father left us when Emma was small, and my mom struggled financially to raise her. A year ago, after a whirlwind courtship, Emma married an extremely wealthy Italian businessman, “Gino,” who is 30 years her senior. I really like Gino. He’s friendly and kind and generous to my family. He adores Emma, and she loves him. The problem? Although Gino calls Emma by the usual pet names, she calls him “Papa” and “Daddy,” and it makes me really uncomfortable. I spoke to her about it, and she thought it was funny. But she also said she calls him those names because he makes her feel safe and protected. She mentioned that she even uses those names when they make love. When I worked up the courage to ask Gino, he said those names comfort Emma. He is amused by them and claims these pet names aren’t hurting anyone. He was totally dismissive of the idea that it’s not normal. My mother is so thrilled that Emma is happy that she doesn’t care one way or the other. I realize Emma probably sees Gino as the father figure she never had. My husband says it’s none of our

Prayer for Life, Statement of Purpose Over 3.7 million Canadian children have been killed by surgical abortion, since 1969
We are gathered here today to pray. We are not here to condemn those in favour of abortion, but to pray for them that God would open their eyes to His Truth We are not here to condemn those who perform abortions, We are here to pray for them, that God would touch their lives and open their hearts to the gospel of His Son, Jesus Christ, Our Lord. We are not here to condemn the women who have had abortions, We are here to pray for them, that God would touch them and heal their pain and grief. We are not here to condemn women contemplating abortion, We are here to pray for them and those who share in their decision, that God would give them strength to choose Life. We are not here to condemn the legislators, We are here to pray for them, that God would give them the courage to defend those who cannot defend themselves. We are here to pray and not to condemn, for God said He did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him; We are here to pray for the Pro Life Movement, that God would give us wisdom and courage to stand by our convictions. We are here to pray for the children in the womb, that God would protect them and turn the hand of the destroyer away from them. We are here for the forgotten fathers, whose pleas for mercy to spare the life of their unborn child were rejected, that God would give them the grace to forgive and heal their pain and grief. We are here to pray against the spiritual powers of darkness, which blind the eyes and harden the hearts to the cry of the defenseless. We are here to pray for Canada, our beautiful nation. O God, in humility we cry to Thee, to come to our aid, Hear our fervent prayers and heal our land.

and they said nobody had ever done anything like this for them before and I will be talking to members as I go.” “The Sierra Club is
a perfect mix of a lot of different organizations with direct action and lobbying for legislation. They want responsibility in government for
the natural world. It’s a group that strives in all possible ways to better the world for tomorrow.” He’s confident he’ll make it, since he did a bike trip to Mexico by himself in 2008. “My family and friends weren’t surprised when I told them I was going to do this. I’m a stubborn person,” he said. “I believe in this and I want people to know about the Sierra Club and what they can do to help,” said Wacey, who will take the train back home. Wacey plans to do further education in environmental science and hopes to start a local chapter of the Sierra Club. For more information and Wacey’s blog about his trip, see www.sierraclub.ca.
Awareness week supports mental health Morning Star Staff
The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) marks its 58th annual Mental Health Week May 3-9 with the theme, Building Your Mental Health — One Support at a Time. The focus is on supports that help maintain peace of mind, people, activities or other fundamental building blocks for health like stable housing, work and income. “Building a solid foundation for wellness begins with recognizing the things that contribute to our well-being and seeking help for the
things that challenge it,” said Bev Gutray, executive director for CMHA BC Division. “It can be as simple as taking a walking break with a co-worker, calling up a trusted friend, or taking time to create a meaningful and realistic budget. The more supports we have in place, the better equipped we are to deal with life’s shakeups.” CMHA tips for building supports for well-being include: positive relationships at work, having and being good neighbours, maintaining community ties and relationships and
seeking expert support when it is needed for health, financial or work challenges, or talking to a counselor to help repair relationships. “Nobody expects a bout of depression, anxiety or other mental illness, yet it will touch the lives of almost 900,000 British Columbians,” said Gutray. “Knowing where to turn when things get on top of us can make all the difference in helping us to stay well or get well as quickly as possible.” The CMHA BC Division is a charity which promotes the mental health of British

Employers aren’t the only ones that struggle when workers go on holidays. Lake Country Food Bank manager Phyllis MacPherson says it’s important her volunteers get a break too and is looking for new helpers. She needs volunteers on Mondays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to noon and on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The food bank is able to provide its users with a substantial hamper of groceries at a relatively low cost because it’s purchased in bulk but that means the food needs to be portioned into smaller containers before it is distributed to the individuals and families that seek help at the food bank. There is a shortage of containers to do this work and the food bank needs them as donations to continue to provide its service. All clean containers with lids from the size of a film canister up to one kilogram jars are gratefully accepted. Call 250-766-0125 for more information.
