Police cadet pays tribute to father ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
S
o the academy is named after his late father. That doesn’t mean Kevin Minguy is getting special or preferred treatment as a cadet at the 11th annual RCMP Jean Minguy Memorial Youth Academy at the Vernon Army Camp. Take, for example, the makingthe-bed inspection, a regular morning occurrence. “If anything, I think they’re being meaner to me,” laughed Kevin, 17, during a lunch break mid-week at the academy. “My bed’s gotten thrown out both times. The first time, my whole room was thrown apart. Yesterday, me and my buddy’s mattress looked identical but it was my mattress that was thrown over the floor.” Minguy, a Grade 12 student at Kalamalka Secondary, admits making a bed was a foreign concept to him before he attended the academy. He’d pretty much throw the sheets off him when his alarm went off and pull them back over him when he went to bed. Early-morning wake-ups from instructors, including one at 4:30 a.m., are also something new for the Vernon teen. “Apparently, we (cadets) did something wrong, maybe somebody said that one of the things we did wasn’t hard enough, and they flipped out and got us up at 4:30,” smiled Minguy. But getting up early, learning to make a bed with a coat hanger, learning how to march, getting experience with RCMP tools such as radar guns, practising defence tactics and participating in RCMP night scenarios have all been part of the academy, something Jean Minguy looked forward to every year. The popular Vernon RCMP officer volunteered his time as an instructor at the academy. Kevin was 12 when his father drowned on-duty after falling off a police

Kevin Minguy takes part in the 11th annual Jean Minguy Memorial Youth Academy at the DND grounds Thursday. The academy is named for his father, an RCMP officer, who died while on duty.
“I think he’s happy I’m here doing it.” — Kevin Minguy Zodiac boat on Okanagan Lake June 3, 2005. The pair had talked about Kevin joining the RCMP. “He said it wasn’t really a good idea because of the shift work, the stuff you see on the job and the whole job description,” said Kevin. “It always seemed like a good job to me.” “I think he’s happy I’m here doing it. I think he’d be pretty upset if I didn’t.” It was a family affair at the academy as Kevin’s mom, Carol, and younger brother, Colin,
played roles in the RCMP training scenarios. “The family has expressed an interest in being part of the academy annually,” said Vernon RCMP school liaison officer Kathy Szoboticsanec, an instructor and one of the main organizers of the academy. “They would like to carry on the legacy left by Jean.” The academy wrapped up Saturday morning with graduation ceremonies, and the 48 cadets saying their farewells to one another, the last time they were
together as a team. “Kevin’s done really well,” said Szoboticsanec. “He’s learned what it’s like to work with a team and as a group. He spent a lot of time here with his dad, when he was an instructor, but I think being part of the academy as a cadet has been a different experience.” As Kevin pointed out midweek, teamwork is the big theme at the academy. You meet in the morning in team lines. You march in those lines, march everywhere. A cadet is never by themselves walking. You get punished as a team. If somebody messes up, the whole team does push-ups. It was a rewarding experience, and Kevin is glad to have had the
opportunity to attend the academy. But, like a lot of other soonto-be-high-school-graduates, he hasn’t made up his mind if he’ll truly follow in his father’s footsteps. “I want to keep my options open,” he said. “I wanted to get a taste to see if this is what I want to do. The camp has been like that, to see if I really want to go through (RCMP training) depot.” The 48 Grade 11 and 12 students that took part in the academy is the highest turnout ever in its 11-year history. The cadets came from Vernon, Armstrong, Enderby, Lake Country, Kelowna, Summerland, Penticton, Salmon Arm, Kamloops and Clearwater.

It also has the ability to regulate the humidity of an interior as it absorbs moisture when the atmosphere is damp and releases it when the atmosphere is dry. Wool maintenance might be easier than you think. With wool’s unique and complex ďŹ ber structure it releases soil up to 25% more readily than synthetic carpet.

There’s a reason Danny Miller comes up from his new home in Chilliwack to play in the annual North Okanagan Community Life Society Charity Golf Classic, something he’s done 14 or 15 times before. There’s a reason he thinks nothing of dropping several thousand dollars to help the NOCLS organization that works with mentally handicapped adults. Part of that reason is the fun he has in the golf tournament at the Vernon Golf and Country Club with his usual playing partner, Neil Bradbury of Dream Easy Cabinets. But the main part is personal. “One of my sisters is challenged, and it’s unbelievable the talent that looks after challenged people,� said Miller, one of 15 children in his family, who turns 68 in June (“Same as the score he shoots on the front nine and back nine,� joked Bradbury). Miller, a retired former Vernon auto dealer, was named Good Guy of the Year for the 19th annual charity classic, which raised funds for programs that assist adults with developmental disabilities. “This charity hits close to home.� Miller and the 113 other golfers in the 18-hole tournament raised $76,431 for NOCLS. The tournament hadn’t even begun Friday afternoon when Miller and Bradbury, whose foursome finished second last year, began their shenanigans. They sold off celebrity caddy, RCMP Supt. Reg Burgess, who they bought for $600 at the Thursday auction, in the Vernon Golf and Country Club parking lot for an undisclosed price to Warren Melnick, of Pro Tow.

Eyeware changes protested RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Optometrists claim changes to B.C.’s eye care regulations could jeopardize patients’ sight. Recently, the Ministry of Health announced contact lenses and glasses can be purchased online without prescriptions, while opticians will be able to provide sight tests. “No one can understand why B.C. has rolled over and changed the regulations,” said Dr. Meghan Ashton, a Vernon optometrist. Residents can now order glasses or contacts online with- Meghan Ashton out having to give the seller a copy of their prescription, sight-test assessment or contact lens specifications. “They could just buy it online with no safeguards,” said Ashton, adding that contacts are federally regulated as a medical device. “You are putting something into your body and if it’s not fitting properly, you can harm your eyesight.” Ashton denies optometrists, many of whom also sell glasses and contact lenses, are attempting to block competition. “None of us have a problem with buying online. The issue is a lack of accountability. There’s no prescription,” she said. The new regulations also allow opticians (who sell eyewear) to independently conduct sight tests
Bike event proceeds Morning Star Staff
All cyclists in the area are invited to participate in the inaugural Car vs. Bike Challenge Monday. The event begins at Vernon’s Lakeview Park and ends at the pancake breakfast station at the Real Canadian Wholesale Club. Participants gather at 7:45 a.m., and the challenge begins at 8 a.m. “Cyclists are invited to have their bike checked by the experts from Skyride Cycle and gain bicycle safety tips and information from the North Okangan Cycling Society and the Greater Vernon Cycling Advisory Committee,” said Wendy Majewski, transportation demand management co-ordinator. “It’s all free and fun. You have a chance to win a brand new bike at every celebration station.” Details for Bike to Work events, including team registration, are available at www.biketowork.ca/northokanagan or call 250-5503634.
for healthy clients ages 19 to 65. The government says this eliminates the extra step of having a sight test reviewed by a doctor who then issues a prescription. But Ashton says it’s important that optometrists do such tests because blurry vision can indicate issues like diabetes or high blood pressure. “The worry is a patient will go in for an automated test and they’ll think they are healthy. Most eye diseases don’t show themselves until near the end,” she said. The Opticians of B.C. support the regulation changes regarding sight tests. “It’s the government acknowledging opticians are professionals and they provide professional services,” said Sara Moshurchak, association president. “Opticians have been sight testing for 12 years and there’s never been a complaint.” Moshurchak says sight tests are for those people needing to upgrade a prescription and there is a rigorous screening process. “We don’t check for anything medical and we make that clear to customers,” she said. “We want them to have good eye health and we recommend they get an eye health exam.” Other changes under the Health Professions Act also include allowing prescriptions issued by medical doctors and optometrists outside of the province to be filled in B.C. Opticians and optometrists must also give clients, free-of-charge, a copy of their prescription or sight test assessment.

Director wants launch closed RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
There are calls to shut a contentious boat launch down. Jack Gilroy, a North Okanagan Regional District director, says restrictions have made it increasingly difficult for boaters to use the Kalavista Road launch in Coldstream. “Just close it because that’s what they want any way,” he said of some residents who have expressed traffic and safety concerns about the site.
“It worked just fine before.” — Jack Gilroy Boaters used to be able to leave the main parking lot and then tie their boat down at another adjacent site. However, tie-downs must now occur in the parking lot and Gilroy claims that is slowing access into the lot. “When someone is
tieing down, you can’t make the corner into there,” he said. “It takes so much time with all of the tiedown regulations there. It worked just fine before. The regional district board has endorsed a number of new initia-
tives at the launch to improve safety. A sign will be installed stating that all loads must be secured prior to moving on to the road or a fine will be issued. A second gate will be installed at the south end of the parking lot, clearly indicating that it is an entrance only. An additional sign will be placed at the existing gate indicating that it is only an exit while signs will be posted at the entrance and exit stating that the

ust some thoughts on the world around us, such as it is, and how it’s taking a toll and, or, amusing us at the same time.... ....I love how they announce stage three water restrictions, including no filling of backyard swimming pools, in quick succession (from stage one to three as fast as you can say H2O) and as if on cue, Mother Nature turns the switch and it starts to rain and snow and basically become winter. And almost as predictable is the authorities backtracking a bit and giving everybody two weeks to fill their pools, plant their garGlenn Mitchell dens and just generally take care of their properties in a reasonable manner. It’s too bad really because I’d already worked out an agreement with one of my neighbours, I won’t say which one even if a spy plane buzzes my house. I told them they could fill their pool and I wouldn’t squeal on them, as long as my family and I had unfettered access to their pool. Some people might call this blackmail. I prefer to call it neighbourly co-operation. However, I guess thanks to the authorities relenting, I guess I’m out of luck. It’s too bad, really, I was looking forward to a little skinny dipping this year. They, on the other hand, seem quite relieved for some reason. Obviously we still have to take the water situation seriously and we should all do our part to conserve but apparently the Duteau Creek (old VID) source is lacking while the Kal Lake source (most of us) is doing relatively OK.
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
Gee, how about we adopt stage two for the time being, promote the heck out of water conservation for all of us — and I believe we should all follow the rules and then some — and then see what Mother Nature serves up as we monitor the situation on a continual basis? That way, we get a buy-in from all water users (pool owners and non-pool owners alike, Duteau and Kal, city and rural), maintain some kind of revenue stream (pun intended) for the utility while being water savvy, and residents aren’t taken by surprise if and when stage three and then possibly stage four restrictions prove to be necessary. However, I’m no expert and I’m spooked enough that personally I don’t know if I’ll even turn on my sprinkler system this summer. Besides, my lawn is pretty small and pathetic as it is, so what’s the point? Our water bill is way too high already and I’m weaning my two teenage boys off long showers (just use more Axe guys) and throwing their shirts in the laundry after wearing them for a couple hours cause they don’t know where else to put them. Again, if in doubt, more Axe. I know this will be a huge personal sacrifice for them but we’re all in this together and it’s time they started acting more like responsible young adults. I think they’re starting to get the idea, though, because they willingly volunteered to stop washing dishes......hey, wait a minute.... I was thinking of adopting that T-shirt motto of “Save Water, Drink More Beer,” but, again, my wife thinks I’m missing the point of water restrictions. She also helpfully pointed out such a plan wouldn’t do much for my already gravitychallenged physique... ...hey, wait a minute.....
It’s highly unlikely that the North Okanagan Regional District will legally challenge changes to the provincial meat regulations. But there certainly is a need to make some noise. After all, it was NORD that led the fight over the original regulations, citing concerns that small processors and farmers would be put out of business by the bureaucratic process Victoria established. But when amendments to the rules are made, there is absolutely nothing that benefits our region. The most significant problem with the changes is they are discriminatory. On-farm slaughter and direct sales will be allowed in some parts of B.C. but not other areas, including the North Okanagan. Does that mean that farmers in northern B.C. follow higher health standards than their counterparts here, or does it suggest the government isn’t as concerned about so-called health risks on farms in the north than they are in the North Okanagan? Rick Fairbairn, rural Lumby director, is absolutely correct when he claims our local meat processors and producers have been treated as second-class citizens. “The regulations should be fair for everyone in the province and applied equally,” he said. MLA Eric Foster says the changes provide farmers with “a good solution that balances health protection with freedom to operate their businesses efficiently.” One has to wonder if Foster actually believes that or if he is just repeating what government communications staff told him to say. Because the reality is these rules will do very little to benefit farmers. Fairbairn’s threat of legal action won’t have the government trembling in fear, but it should send a strong message that the ball has been dropped.

A definition of democracy
A
bout 10,000 years ago, depending on the reference material used, people invented business using barter to facilitate transactions. In 1500 BC, the Phoenicians invented money to make business faster, easier, and the proceeds more portable. A few centuries later, the Greeks introduced the concept of democracy which is defined as “government by the people; a form of government in which supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected representatives under a free electoral system.” Democracy is generally accepted to mean “one person, one vote.” Fast forward to England in 1215 AD. The Magna Carta is a document that England’s King John (1166 – 1216) was forced to sign. WATER WOES With particular interest and certain letters, I decided to hop on the bandwagon of the woe-ers. What is the priority here, water for the people's basic needs or polished streets and fancy green lawns and golf courses? Indeed, we actively encourage more people and big industry while our water supply is already inadequate to handle what we already have. Where is the common sense here? We can exist without these luxuries but not so without the farmer. Global warming versus drought is a very real thing and I am tired of this ongoing procrastination of would-be solutions by our powers-that-be. We concentrate only on fruitless waste and do little for our farmers and orchardists. This is precisely where we need to be concentrating at this critical time. Next, it will be us who buy back the water we pawned off at a mark-up and call it progress. If it is sprinkling for a veggie garden, have at it, but if it is for ornamentation, forget it, as this plan is an antique too late to be reincarnated. I saw this coming 45 years ago and I am not a scientist, just a meek, common-sense guy.
The Magna Carta greatly reduced the power of the king of England and allowed for the formation of a powerful parliament and became the basis for English citizen’s rights. Now fast forward to April 11. In The Morning Star page A9, Letter to the Editor,
Where were the politicians and city fathers when the obvious showed its head 40 years ago? Though a tad late, awaken as we now stand in a critical position re. our mainstay: water. Les Gaunt MINIMUM WAGE I read with great interest a recent article about minimum wage in B.C. I found some of Mr. Foster's arguments ludicrous at best. What statistics is he quoting when he says, "To say hundreds of thousands of people are on minimum wage is misleading." And there's his statement that, "Many people who get minimum wage work in the service sector and get tips?" The reverse is also true as many people who get minimum wage work in fast food and retail sectors and get no tips. The B.C. minimum wage is 13 per cent below the national average, 12 per cent below the average for the Prairie provinces, and 20 per cent below the average for Central Canada. Later on in the article, Mr. Foster states that, "no action should be taken because of the ongoing economic challenges." Have I missed something or did
Brian Bonney, of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, asserts that it is now time to “give business back the vote.” Mr. Bonney seems to feel that it’s time for man’s inventions, business and money, to take formal control of the people by giving business
the rest of the country not have "ongoing economic challenges," and they appear to be surviving with these higher minimum wage rates. As for his quote that, "our business people are telling us this is the worst time to increase minimum wage." Have your business people ever told you it was a good time to increase the minimum wage? Not in the last nine years apparently. J. Shakespeare COME AGAIN? On Jan. 8, you published my letter (Council's Actions Frustrating), regarding Armstrong city council's very public blasting of the Okanagan Regional Library Board giving themselves an obscenely large wage increase during this deep recessional era. I pointed out that these were the same politicians who heaped a huge homeowner's tax increase on we citizens, and that their actions were hypocritical. Now this very council has done exactly the same thing they criticized the library board for doing; voted themselves a huge salary increase on the order of 16 per cent. By any definition I can find, this is indeed hypocritical. You can bold it, highlight it, and italicize
the right to vote in municipal elections. This is what I have to say to Mr Bonney. Stop comparing apples to oranges, stop using innuendo to justify your position. Please have the decency to get all of your facts straight. People have died to get and then protect the ideals of democracy over the centuries. Please have the decency to respect their lives and the lives of those who died in the Second World War defending democracy. If a business want to vote in municipal elections then let the business owner live in the jurisdiction where their business is located. This is a democracy. Democracy means “one person, one vote.” Democracy does not mean one business voting in several municipal elections on election day. Wayne Bonsan
it. We must put into place a law whereby government at any level cannot vote itself a pay increase. Citizens must have the sole right to vote for a proposed increase during a regularly scheduled election. We must also have a workable means by which we can immediately remove individual politicians and governments from office when they lie to get elected, when they are corrupt, or when they pass law which go against the wishes of the majority. Oh my, would this possibly be the beginning of real democracy? Robert Thibeau WRITER IMPRESSES I am writing in response to Jade Freeman's letter, "Tree Trouble." I was so impressed with this young person's motivation to conserve water to save the tree population. Not only with the organization Trees Make a Difference, but with the suggestions garnered from the experiences of living in another country living daily with water challenges. Jade, I just want you to know that this household will be putting buckets in our showers to collect water for watering our shrubs and
potted outdoor plants. I am also looking into the sump pump for the bath water. Your article was inspiring and was heard by this reader. Good work. Lorraine Drzimotta

City’s request not supported

Armstrong may have to fight to get out of a valley-wide initiative. There is still little interest among North Okanagan Regional District jurisdictions to let the city leave the Sterile Insect Release program. “The city had hoped to get a co-operative approach to an unfair fee structure,” said John Trainor, Armstrong’s representative to NORD. “But there’s obviously no voluntary allowance to withJohn Trainor draw.” That means the next step for Armstrong would be to formally apply to get out of the function which is trying to control the impact of sterile codling moth on commercial apple crops in the Okanagan. Armstrong has expressed concerns about the $12,000 a year it pays for the program, citing it doesn’t have any commercial apple orchards. Besides the costs, Trainor is questioning the program’s claim that it’s helping reduce the amount of pesticides in the environment. “I see the sprayers in orchards every day. Are we fooling ourselves here?” That comment has brought a sharp response from some of Trainor’s colleagues. “They (orchardists) spray for reasons beyond codling moth. They spray to thin blossoms,” said said Doug Dirk, Coldstream director. Will Hansma, Spallumcheen director, says there are apple trees in residential yards in Armstrong that can be infested. “There are 1,000 trees in Armstrong and until those trees are eliminated, Spallumcheen can’t support the withdrawal of Armstrong,” he said.

Long-term sustainability will be the focus of planning along the Shuswap River. The North Okanagan Regional District board has told staff to develop terms of reference for an integrated watershed plan for the river. “It’s long past the time that something was done about this,” said Dee Wejr, Enderby director. Three issues would likely be Dee Wejr focused on during the process — foreshore development, water quality and waste management and recreational management. “These three areas would encompass many of the issues and concerns that have already been identified as of issue within the Shuswap River watershed and could provide a starting point for any future Shuswap River planning project,” said Anna Page, sustainability co-ordinator, in a written report. Wejr insists there is a need to look at the river, which impacts communities from Cherryville to Mara. Opposition has come from director Rick Fairbairn. “There are so many agencies involved. It’s beyond the reaches of the regional district to co-ordinate something like that,” he said, adding that the costs for such a process could be considerable.

Officials hope a new arrangement will enhance Lumby’s ability to handle an emergency. The village will receive emergency operations from the City of Vernon under contract. “It’s not any cheaper for us but it’s providKevin Acton ing full services,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. Lumby generally budgeted $2,500 per year for training and materials relating to emergency services, but that cost will climb to $5,468 under the contract with Vernon. “However, the benefits received, as to increased training for volunteers in the emergency social services portion, and the additional support in case of a large emergency is very beneficial to the community,” said Frank Kosa, chief administrative officer.
Acton believes it’s important to have confirmed support from neighbouring communities if there’s flooding, a hazardous material spill or some other problem. “We will have more resources at our finger tips,” he said. “If there’s a major disaster, it will be organized and a plan in place.” Municipalities must have emergency preparedness strategies in place under provincial law. But Acton admits it also makes sense to plan ahead. “You always have to think about the possibility of an emergency. It’s like being on a boat without a life jacket,” he said. All North Okanagan municipalities have now joined the program and Brent Watson, Vernon’s emergency preparedness co-ordinator, is confident that will benefit the region. “We’re not competing separately for scarce federal or provincial funding,” he said. “We won’t be competing for provincial courses. We’re speaking with one voice.”

Township trail moves ahead ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A proposed threephase trail that, one day, would connect McLeod subdivision in Spallumcheen with Armstrong bike lanes has passed a first hurdle. Spallumcheen council voted unanimously to support the supply of materials and optional amenities for the construction of a trail along the east side of Highway 97A between Rosedale
Avenue East and Smith Road. Spallumcheen would contribute up to a maximum of $10,000. The donation of labour and equipment for the trail has been donated by Hoban Equipment. “The trail will be three-metres wide, with fabric going down first, then pit run, followed by crush, which is the smaller gravel that will be used for surfacing,� said Laurie
Rezoning sought ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A request for a zoning text amendment bylaw that would allow the former Sun Valley Speedway in Spallumcheen to hold non-racing events is going to public hearing. Spallumcheen council gave first two readings to the application from the MotoPlex Speedway and Event Park. “They are asking to hold racing days at a maximum of 42 days per year, which includes Saturday and Sunday,� said Mayor Will Hansma. “They’re not interested in doing more than 18 days for actual racing, is my understanding, but they need preparation time.� The application calls for the speedway to be used for outdoor storage, RV shows, flea markets, film productions and weddings.
The facility would also like to host driver training programs for racing and non-racingtype cars on a yearround basis. The public hearing is tentatively scheduled for June 7.
Williams of ArmstrongSpallumcheen Active Communities, which is spearheading the project. The first-phase trail would be just under 500 metres in length, with construction tentatively slated to begin next month. Active Communities envisions part two of the project, a trail running from Rosedale Avenue East at Highway 97A to Whitaker Road, at Powerhouse Road,
with construction to begin in 2011 or 2012. The final phase would run from Powerhouse Road to McLeod subdivision. The timing would be determined based on land access negotiations and funding availability. Williams said the township’s 2001 Trails Master Plan identified a future trail from McLeod, extending across Powerhouse Road and through an existing township right-of-way
along Whitaker Road and Rosedale Avenue East. An elevated crossing at Highway 97A at Rosedale would connect to Armstrong. The Ministry of Transportation does not favour an expensive elevated crossing, but does back a pedestrianactivated crossing light at Smith Road.

A Lake Country resident is facing impaired driving charges after a mid-morning incident. On Tuesday at around 10:35 a.m., several people reported a red Toyota Land Cruiser driving erratically in the Kelowna area. It was alleged to be swerving all over the road and jumping the curb before correcting itself. “Several of the callers followed the vehicle at a distance while on the phone with 911 operators, until police were able to locate and stop the vehicle at Richter Street and Harvey Avenue,” said Cst. G.A. Mantler. The RCMP allege the driver exhibited strong signs of alcohol impairment. She provided breath samples that were analyzed at three times the legal limit.
A 38-year-old Lake Country woman was released on a promise to appear in court at the end of June. She faces charges of driving while impaired and driving over .08.

North Okanagan realtors believe the current sales market is stabilizing. New listings rose 12 per cent in April over last year at this time (from 487 to 548), inventory rose seven per cent (to 2,558 from 2,378 in March) and sales have increased 36 per cent over April 2009. “Sales activity remains cautiously steady in the North Okanagan,” said Darcy Griffiths, with the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board. Darcy Griffiths “As the economy grows and employment slowly improves throughout the province and across the country, and consumer confidence ebbs and flows, recovery in the North Okanagan has been sure but choppy.” Compared to the 126 units sold during the first four months of 2009, overall sales in the North Okanagan rose to 172 in April and were up 22 per cent from the 155 sold in March. Total residential sales increased by 42 per cent over last year (to 157 from 110) and rose 27 per cent from March(123). Single-family units sold were up 26 per cent over April 2009 (to 87 from 69) and rose 20 per cent from March (72). Townhouse sales have improved 100 per cent over last year (26 compared to 13) and 62 per cent over March (16). “Moderate sales improvements are expected
during the coming months with rising mortgage rates, changes to qualifying criteria and the anticipation of the HST affecting purchasing power for buyers,” said Griffiths.

Agencies tackle drought issues JUDIE STEEVES Black Press
With a snowpack in this area that’s 40 to 60 per cent of average, a number of provincial ministries are discussing how best to deal with the many impacts there will be with a second consecutive drought year in the Okanagan. Earlier in the year, ministry of environment officials said 24 per cent more snow than normal would be required to bring water levels up to normal this year, but instead the amount of snow is less than half the normal amount. Many reservoirs, as well as Okanagan Lake, will not fill this year when the snow melts and flows into them, says Bill Kuhnke, manager of forecasting and information for the environment ministry in Victoria. “The natural water supply is similar to last year and the lake level is lower than normal,” he said. In the Mission Creek watershed snow course, measured May 1, there was 90 per cent the normal amount of snow for that time of year, but at Oyama Lake there was 11 per cent of the normal amount. At the Postill
Lake snow course, there was 33 per cent of the usual amount, while at Silver Star, there was 86 per cent. So far in May, there has been seven millimetres at the Kelowna Airport. The normal amount for the entire month of May is 39 mm. No major storms are forecast for this area, according to the models, he said, but it’s forecast to be cool throughout next week, which means there are likely to be continued showers.

Relay a celebration of life, courage Congratulations CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
The Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life is an opportunity to get together with family and friends to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones and fight back in the hope of finding a cure for the disease. The overnight, noncompetitive relay has teams of four to 15 people taking turns walking and/or running around the track at Polson Park June 5 and 6. Each team camps near the track with live entertainment and activities throughout the night. The co-chairmen are Darrel Stinson and John Topping, who have both had cancer. “I couldn’t make the relay last year because I was having a kidney removed but I will be there this year. It’s a special day for me to be able to help fight cancer in this way and because June 5 will be my 65th birthday,” said Stinson, a former MP who was diagnosed in 2005. “I’m still fighting cancer, all survivors are. The idea for the walk is to not sleep for that time because cancer doesn’t ever sleep, you always have to be on the watch for it.” Topping has nothing but praise for the Canadian Cancer Society and its services. “The first person to visit me in the hospital after I had surgery in 1999, after family and friends, was a cancer society volunteer. She had such a positive attitude, it really made a difference. It is difficult to find somebody who has not been affected by

Team registration is on now at www.cancer.ca. cancer,” he said, noting that two of his Funtastic co-founders, Nick Alexis and Stewart Fleming, had cancer. Topping, a long-time community volunteer, had taken early retirement by the time he was diagnosed with colon cancer at 56 and found that it changed his life in making him think more of his family and friends and in taking the time to travel more. “I think maybe each trip will be the last trip and I think I am less arrogant. This is worthwhile because people with cancer are living longer now,” he said. Stinson said having cancer also changed him. “It cost me me my job but I hope I will be able to get back to some of my interests like hiking and prospecting in time and I am learning how to play golf. I urge people not to make the mistake I did and leave it too long to be checked out if something
seems wrong,” he said. Topping agrees. “I also left it too long even when I knew something should be done. It’s a great honour for me to have the opportunity to be co-chairman of this important fundraiser with Darrel. To me, he’s an idol.” Stinson returned the compliment by expressing his admiration for Topping as a humanitarian and volunteer in the community. The two, along with up to 500 local cancer survivors and caregivers, will lead off the first lap of the relay. Relay for Life co-ordinator Sarah Pruckl said plans are going well. “I’m honoured to work with these guys. They are hugely involved with the whole event, not
just in name but in team sponsorship and they will be there the night of the relay. The night is always a lot of fun.” There will be live entertainment throughout the night, a silent auction, team challenges, a midnight barbecue, lots of coffee all night and children’s activities. Teams can set up tents and choose a theme and costumes if they want. There will also be a community fire pit supervised by the Vernon Fire Department and massages for participants. The oval and track are secured and patrolled. Topping and Stinson invite anyone who wants to help fight cancer to come out and join their team or form their own. The men have named their team The Lovers
and Fighters but declined to say who is which. “This is a fun time. This is hard but you have to take the time to enjoy yourself too,” said Stinson. Last year, the Vernon relay had 50 teams which raised $87,000. The money is used to provide support groups, public education, a 24/7 phone help line, emergency aid, children’s camps, and residences for people while they are having cancer treatment away from home. Each person on a team is encouraged to raise at least $100. People can remember loved ones by buying a luminary which will be lit to provide inspiration to participants all night long. The Relay for Life takes place in Polson Park starting at 7 p.m. June 5 and going through to 7 a.m. June 6. To register a team or to make a pledge for participants already registered call Pruckl at 250-542-7417 or 250307-7793, e-mail vernonrelay@bc.cancer.ca or see www.cancer.ca/relay.

Keep etiquette in mind
I
recently had a pleasant call from a woman (who will remain anonymous) wanting to view a listing I had featured in the Sunday Morning Star. I proceeded to find a time that would suit both our schedules. During the course of that conversation, she mentioned she had viewed other homes in the same complex at recent open houses. So, I asked her if she had not yet chosen a realtor. She quickly answered that she certainly had, and that her present home was currently listed with her chosen realtor and furthermore, Jane Field she really liked her realtor. I went on to explain that it is the norm to view properties with her chosen realtor. She immediately thanked me for explaining how things usually work and was going to call her chosen realtor to set up the viewing appointment. She really had no idea that she would be letting down her chosen realtor by looking at properties with others. Or maybe she didn’t intend to buy through any other realtor, only to take a look? Perhaps she would ultimately ask her own realtor to write up her offer and negotiate on her behalf. The problem with that scenario is that she
REAL ESTATE
has taken up the time of another realtor, in this case myself, who is then not getting compensated for that sale or their time spent, which is not quite fair. Alternately, if she was listed with her chosen realtor and bought through another realtor it would at the very least leave her chosen realtor wondering what they had done wrong. Realtors work solely on commissions. Our fees are only paid upon the successful conclusion of the sale of real property, leases etc. Our overhead is payable whether or not a sale has come about. Our businesses are like all other businesses, in that we have bills to pay. We need to count on our regular clients/customers in order to be successful in our businesses. Consumers can most certainly use the services of any licensed realtor they choose. I just want to point out that realtors are like other professions. We rely on repeat business and client/customer loyalty. Thanks to my caller for making me realize real estate etiquette needed to be explained again. Jane Field works with Re/Max Vernon. Jane has 35 years experience in the real estate business. To suggest topics for future articles or to ask Jane questions, e-mail her at jane@janefield.com or call 5033755.

Downtown Vernon merchants are getting into the spring spirit as they hold the inaugural Sparkle Day. On Wednesday, merchants with brooms, dust pans, window cleaner and scrub brushes will be cleaning the front of their buildings and sidewalk area. “Sparkle Day will give businesses the oppor-
tunity to make the downtown area more visually appealing for customers,” said Earl Hansen, executive director. The event will also focus on downtown benches that must be restained. Youth from the local Katimavik group will assist with this part of the project, with supplies provided by the city. New banners and hanging baskets will also be hung from lampposts.

Festival celebrates local youth information booths as possible because coupons for free food at the event will be given to those who spend time at three or more tables. Bus service will also be free for youth during the event which runs from 3 to 7 p.m at Polson Park around the bandshell. If you’d like to find out more, there are YAA Fest and Connections Career Centre pages on Facebook. To promote your youth club at YAA Fest, call Kim Lauritsen at 250-545-5363 (ext. 204).
Social phenomenons like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace are allowing people, especially teens, to connect with each other astounding efficiency but an event coming up at Polson Park will allow them to do it face to face. The Youth Achievement and Appreciation festival, or YAA Fest, will be a free event on May 20 featuring live music, food and drinks and dozens of opportunities for teens to access groups offering clubs and activities geared towards them. “I was surprised how many little youth clubs and groups there were,” said organizer Kim Lauritsen, who is with Community Futures in Vernon. “This will provide a platform for smaller service providers.” People of all ages are welcome to soak up the atmosphere. Lauritsen says the main idea is simply to give groups that may not extensive advertising capabilities a chance to show off what they do for youth. “I hope they’ll come out and use YAA Fest to recruit and promote because they don’t have large budgets,” she said. “It’s going to be a fun festival.” When they see just how much there is to choose from, Lauritsen believes young people feel a greater sense of belonging in the community. “If you have a young person with a specific interest but they don’t find anything that matches

Gala unfolds for VJH BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
Service in style is the theme for the Junior Chamber International Hospital Gala and organizers simply want their guests to enjoy the experience. The Best Western Vernon Lodge is the place to be May 29 for the fundraiser. The night kicks off with cocktails at 5:30 p.m. and is followed by a four-course dinner, live auction and casino games. It’s a packed schedule and that’s what event co-chair Barb Boschert had in mind as this is the first year JCI has run the gala, taking over from the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. “With our theme, we’re trying to offer people different entertainment experiences throughout the evening,” she said. “There’s going to be something going on all of the time.” The Mark Rose Swing Band will perform live music through the evening so the dance floor will be busy as well. “I hope the guests have a really good time and just experience it,” said Boschert. “It’s just a fun evening and towards a worthwhile goal.” Individual tickets are $85 and a table of eight can be purchased for $600. Boschert hopes enough money can be raised to sponsor one of the rooms in the new hospital tower. The gala was formerly held in late September but with JCI taking the reins, it was moved to the spring. Word has been getting around and ticket sales are brisk already. Boschert is pleased to be able to include so many different areas of the community in the night as sponsors and guests. “We thought this was an exciting opportunity to take on a new event,” she said. “I think we’re getting a lot of people involved which is exciting as well.” Davidson Lawyers

Women get ready to tee off for the cure Morning Star Staff
A sea of pink will again flow through the Vernon Golf and Country Club for the eighth Annual Wine Women and Woods Tee off for the Cure golf tournament on Sept. 10 and 11. “We are all looking forward to continuing the tournament’s phenomenal success,” said Dee Paterson, with the organizing committee. “Last year, with the support of Vernon’s Home Building Centre, the Vernon Golf and Country Club, MQN Architects and all of our other sponsors, our golfers and our community, we raised an amazing $55,132.” In total, Vernon’s Wine Women and Woods has contributed $340,000 to the BC/Yukon Region of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. This year’s tournament will be held at the Vernon Golf and Country Club on Sept. 11. As always, costumes, although not required, are more than welcome. The ever popular kick off to Wine Women and Woods, will be held Sept. 10 at the Vernon Golf and Country Club. Last year’s Jazz It Up for Wine Women and Woods was a terrific success with the
Neil Fraser Jazz Quartet and the committee is pleased to welcome them back again in 2010. Friday evening is an opportunity to register early if you are a golfer in the tournament and bid on handsome caddies or any number of wonderful items offered at the live and silent auction. “This part of the Wine Women and Woods Tournament is extremely important as it is the major fundraiser and is open to everyone, even if you are not participating in the tournament,” said Paterson. “Plan to bring a friend or two for an evening out and support our fight against breast cancer.” Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in Canadian women. In 2008 an estimated 22,400 women in Canada were diagnosed with breast cancer and an estimated 5,300 will die of it. Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation statistics report that one in nine women is expected to develop breast cancer during her lifetime. “That’s an astounding statistic, and your support of breast cancer research ensures that progress continues to be
made in the search for a cure. Breast cancer death rates have declined in all ages combined and in every age group since the mid 1990s. “Please join us this year and encourage your friends and colleagues to do the same.” Paterson said there are many ways that businesses and individuals can get involved. Sponsor a hole, sponsor a contest, donate items for the silent or live auction, volunteer or simply make a donation. Watch for sponsorship details, player registration information and details on tickets for the Friday evening Jazz It Up for Wine Women and Woods on the website at www.winewomenandwoods.com Wine Women and Woods committee members will be out in the community in the next few months talking about sponsorship opportunities and how you can get involved. This year’s committee members are Dee Paterson, Barb Fox, Deanna Moglove, Cathie Cookson, Janny Jung, Janice Irwin, Loreen Ruault, Susan McDougall, Kathy Parton, Lettie Maloney, Pauline Blais and Debbie Bagnall.

In praise of mothering
H
appy Mother’s Day out there to all moms, whether by birth, adoption, affiliation, affection or any of the other numerous connections that reflect the love, acceptance, continuity, reliability, and bravery needed to be a true mother. Some of us become moms through birth, others adopt through the legal system or through happenstance, when another lost soul needs mothering, whether for a moment or a lifetime. The worries of having children, no matter what age, are numerous but the rewards are immeasurable. Watching your child grow, blossom, bloom and become a free-thinking and responsible adult is akin to participating in the miracle of life. And if we do nothing else in life but mother another, we have done one of the most remarkable things that we can do. I wonder how many seniors are aware of the Disability Tax Credit that is available to anyone
who has a severe and prolonged health impairment and has a qualified practitioner who will certify to this impairment on a Disability Tax Credit Certificate, (form T2201). The disability amount is a nonrefundable tax credit used to reduce income tax payable on your tax return. The form is comprised of two parts. Part A is filled out by the applicant and Part B by the qualified practitioner such as medical doctors, optometrists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, etc. When completed the form is then sent to the Canada Revenue Agency who will decide if you are eligible for the disability amount and forms can be sent at any time of the year. If you need information or forms call 1-800-959-8281 or visit the website at www. cra.gc.ca/forms. Many seniors are entitled to this benefit if they have significant walking,
hearing, seeing, speaking, mental impairment, or other problems, and the benefits can be substantial, Pat Black so check it out. Recently the Seniors Information and Resource Bureau published the new 2010 Okanagan-North Seniors’ Housing Guide which is a compilation of residential care, assisted living and independent housing for seniors in and around Vernon. This guide can be downloaded on the internet by going to www.socialplanning.ca and finding the Seniors Section, then selecting Housing. If you don’t have access to a computer, drop in at the SIRB office at Social Planning located across from the Parkade at 3205-31st Ave. and ask for a copy. The phone number is 250-545-8572. The Seniors Action Network meets once

again on Tuesday at 10 a.m. at People Place. This is the place where seniors and their supporters can voice their concerns about issues and try to find ways to resolve problems that seniors encounter. It is also the place where plans for the future are discussed. So if you have ideas about how you would like to see things change for seniors in and around Vernon, make it a point to be at this meeting. Last column I wrote about Dr. Martin Samuels, a renowned neurologist, who specializes in aging and the brain, and one of our readers called to ask if he had offered any advice to improve brain function. Dr. Samuels writes, in the same article in Maclean’s magazine, that there are a few tricks that you can do that might help and one of them is to get enough sleep, as sleep is a very important part of memory consolidation. Another thing he recommends is getting exercise, about 20 minutes at least five times

a week. He says that this is the one thing that has been proven to improve brain function. He also says that no one knows why.

Phantom footsteps lead to name change PETER KENDAL
Special to The Morning Star
Many years ago I used to go to school in the North-East of England every day by bus. The route led through a village called Croxdale and past a public house there with the unusual name of The Nicky Nack. When I asked my dad why it had that name he told me the following story. At one time the landlord of a pub on that site had been out elsewhere for his night’s liquid entertainment. On his rather unsteady way home he heard footsteps behind him. It was a dark night so he hastened his pace but the footsteps also quickened up, making a noise like nicky-nack, nicky-nack, nicky-nack! He walked even quicker and so did the footsteps behind. Finally, and by then terrified, he reached the front door of the establishment and dashed inside, slamming the door behind him. He collapsed into a chair and told his wife about the phantom footsteps that had followed him. His wife listened to his story and then pointed to his boots and started laughing. On each heel of the boots was a steel wear plate. They had worked loose and as they flapped about they made a noise like nicky-nack, nicky-nack, nicky-nack! One can imagine how his story was laughed at as it spread around his customers, but

he must have taken it in good part because the pub was renamed The Nicky Nack. I have never been entirely sure of the origin and truth of that story, but there it is and I know the Nicky Nack pub was there! It also raises the question as to how many unusual pub names there are in Britain and whether any study of their origins has ever been done. I read of one called The Mortal Man, where the name was accompanied by a little rhyme referring to the landlady/owner of the pub that went: “O Mortal Man who lives by bread, What is it that makes your nose so red? Thou silly fool that looks so pale, It’s with drinking Sally Birkett’s ale!”
THE FREEDOM I WANT
Ask Dawn…
Dear Dawn: Are variable rate mortgages still available? Answer: Variable rate mortgages, which are tied to the Prime lending rate at lending institutions, are available and are the choice of many borrowers. Many of the variable rate mortgages are offered with a discount for the term of the mortgage and can be a cost saving option for the moment. The interest rate will increase/decrease as the Prime rate or Bank of Canada rate is adjusted. Most institutions will offer you the opportunity to keep a set payment to take advantage of any decreases in the rate, allowing you to prepay your principal sooner and the ability to lock into a fixed rate term when interest rates rise. We are happy to explain the options available to you.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Disappointment is likely if you optimistically overestimate the attributes of someone upon whom you’re depending. Let reality enter the picture so you can understand what you’re getting into.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 19) In order to avoid embarrassment, don’t request a large favor today from someone who you never thanked or repaid for what that person previously did for you. His/ her reply might be mortifying.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) In order to succeed in life, you must be able to accurately evaluate people and developments. If this doesn’t take place, you’re likely to underestimate your competition today.
PISCES (FEB. 20-MARCH 20) You understand that there are always two sides to a story, yet you still won’t appreciate hearing the other side. Try not to be judgmental of an opposing point of view.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Think before opening your mouth, so that you don’t say something you’ll regret. A thoughtless comment can do more harm in one second than anything you could deliberately plan.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Regardless of how industrious you feel, unless you plan ahead, anything you try to do is likely to meet with all kinds of problems. Be sure you have everything in place before tackling anything.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) If you hope to get proper mileage out of your resources, you need to be prudent and try to make every dollar count. It might be far too easy today to thoughtlessly spend without heed or need.
YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY In the year ahead a number of fresh opportunities might come your way from some new contacts you’ll make, either through a social organization or a professional affiliation or both. It’ll pay to be a joiner.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) If your friends or family haven’t been as cooperative with you as they usually are, chances are the fault is with you. Honestly review how you’ve handled yourself when you’ve been with them lately. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23) Either get any critical jobs out of the way early today, or put them off until another time. Your staying power isn’t likely to be up to par and will only get worse as the day wears on. SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 22) You might be a gregarious person, but should you be at a gathering today and find that someone who turns you off is in attendance, it could put a chill in the air and sour your good time. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23-DEC. 21) Usually it doesn’t take much to get you motivated, but today you’re more apt to be an observer than a participator. It’s just one of those days when you could be saddled with apathy. CAPRICORN DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Don’t be foolish enough to discuss something wonderful that you believe in with a person whose outlook is limited, negative or biased. It could leave you feeling empty and depressed.
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.

Moderately Confused
A fully-funded program for small business and not-for-profits
Bridge by Phillip Alder It is hard for me to believe, but this is my 6,000th column. (My first was on April Fools’ Day in 1991.) So please indulge me while I describe one of my favorite deals. It occurred nearly 20 years ago at the Beverly Bridge Club in New York City. After I opened one heart, West used the Unusual NoTrump, which in principle guaranteed at least 5-5 in the minors. To do it with 4-6 distribution isn’t recommended, despite the favorable vulnerability. After my partner responded three spades, natural and forcing, and East jumped to five diamonds, I bid what I thought I could make. (I did not bid six spades to avoid an immediate club lead through my ace-queen.)
Against six hearts, West led a fourth-highest diamond two, which surprised me. (Remember, I thought he had five diamonds.) East won with the ace and shifted to his club. How did I continue? One thing was clear: If West had had a spade void, he would have led a high diamond, trying to send his partner a suit-preference signal. He would have hoped that East would win with the diamond ace and shift to a spade. And if West had some spades, there was a risk of a 5-0 heart break. I decided to test East. I won with my club ace, played a spade to dummy’s king, and called for the heart nine. I planned to win with my ace if East played low smoothly, but
he generously covered with the 10. When West discarded, I overtook my spade queen with dummy’s ace, played the heart three to my seven, drew trumps, and claimed. I took one club, six hearts and five spades.

Dynamic Viper run closing for Joneses
T
hey have swagger, but they aren’t arrogant. They have an unrivalled passion for hockey, but they could have also earned baseball scholarships. Their relentless determination to win spreads like an infection in the dressing room. It has also spread like a bad omen for opposing defencemen over the last four years in the B.C. Hockey League. Perhaps the only knock against Vernon Viper twins Connor and Kellen Jones would be their size (5-foot-9, 165 pounds), and they pretty much rendered that statistic meaningGraeme Corbett less the moment they joined the league as a pair of wide-eyed call-ups in the 2006-07 playoffs. The Kootenay kids, playing on an allrookie line with David Robinson, joined the team in the second round and had a fairly quiet series against the Trail Smokes Eaters, recording just a single point between them. It was in the Interior Conference final where their Viper legacy truly began. “It’s also legend in Penticton,” quipped Vipers’ owner Duncan Wray. Going up against a physical Vees squad, Connor, Kellen and Robinson were like a trio of waterbugs, darting all over the ice, using their speed to take over the series, combining for eight goals and a dozen assists in a five-game rout of the Vees. “They just didn’t know how to react to them. It just gave us another dimension as a team that they had no way of combatting,” said Wray. “They tried to run them, (Gary) Silvester and (Mike) Towns, and they did everything they possibly could to get them out of the game. But you know them and the size of the heart they have that there was no way they were going to be denied.” Connor laughs, recalling some of the abuse they took in the corners from the Penticton veterans. “I was a lot smaller then, so when I’d get hit it didn’t really hurt, I’d just fly up in the air and squirm by. Those guys were definitely a nice welcome to the league. Dave had his first fight against Sylvester, who was probably twice the size of him. It was fun.” Added Kellen: “We were just two little
AT THE RBC
kids that didn’t know what to expect and we didn’t know the importance of it. We just tried to go out there and work as hard as we can, and it’s the exact same thing we do now.” Connor admits to feeling hesitant when he and Kellen got the invite to join the Vipers that post-season. As members of the Beaver Valley Nitehawks, they were still feeling the sting of a semifinals exit to the Nelson Leafs in the KIJHL playoffs, and not one to take losing lightly, Connor had second thoughts. “I was like ‘Gosh, I don’t want to lose twice in one year,’” he recalled. “(Looking back), it was a great move going up there and playing, and it was a great start to a great four years in Vernon.” Wray says his initial introduction to the twins was a brief one. He and then Viper GM Troy Mick went up to watch Beaver Valley play the host Sicamous Eagles in the 2006-07 regular season. “Connor was thrown out of the game early in the first period for checking from behind and I think Kellen actually got thrown out a little later in the game, so we didn’t get to see much of them,” said Wray. “But you could just tell from the few short shifts I did see from them that these kids are pretty special.” Over the next three seasons with Vernon, the Joneses combined for 371 points and 205 penalty minutes in 317 games, firmly establishing themselves as fan favourites at Wesbild Centre. For the most part, Connor has been the triggerman with 80 goals, while Kellen played the setup guy with 134 assists. Those may not be considered elite numbers by some, but their ability to influence a game, and often take one over, is undeniable. “They’re so dynamic as players and they do so much with the puck that when they have the puck, the other team can’t do anything,” said Wray. “In spite of the fact that they maybe haven’t put up these huge 90-point seasons, their ability to control the game is second-to-none and that’s what makes them so valuable.” Even on nights when they might not put up a point, the Jones boys always have their legs moving. Kellen says it is something that has been instilled in them by their father Terry since they started playing.

Twins Kellen (left) and Connor Jones have played a huge role in the Vernon Vipers’ return to the nationals. For RBC playoff coverage, visit www.vernonmorningstar.com “Growing up, my dad always told me ‘You might not have your hands one night, you might not be skating well, but you can always go out there and work your hardest,’” said Kellen. “We take that into consideration every night. You’ve got to go out there and work for your opportunities and that’s what I try to do.” The twins have played with an assortment of talented linemates over the last four seasons. From Robinson to Hunter Bishop to Sahir Gill to Cory Kane, and back to Robinson and Gill in the late stages of this season. No matter who they play with, it never seems to take the third player long to pick up on their built-in chemistry. “They feed off each other, and playing with them I feel like I’ve gotten to know them fairly well,” said Gill, an 18-year-old Terrace native. “When you get three people working together like that… their work ethic is contagious. “You see your top players working that hard, and everyone tries to match that, and especially with our team everyone’s trying to one-up and follow that up by getting more momentum going.” Bishop, who was recently signed by the
Montreal Canadiens, is easily the most prolific scorer the twins ever played with. But Connor says the best all-round player and team leader was former two-year captain Chris Crowell. Connor grins as he recalls one of his first road trips with the Vipers. “All the rookies sat at the front of the bus, and I got on the bus and there’s no seats anywhere and Crow’s a big veteran guy and he goes ‘Jonesy, get back here!’ I’m like ‘What? I don’t want to go sit with you 20-year-olds. I’m scared.’ “I sat beside him the whole trip to Nanaimo, and me and him are sitting there, legs touching, we fell asleep and put our heads on each other. “That was probably one of the funniest moments because he’s this big grizzly guy and I’m this little tiny guy. It was a great start to a great friendship. I roomed with him for pretty much every road trip we went on and he’s one of my best friends.” Fast forward to the 2010 Royal Bank Cup in Dauphin, Man., and the Vipers are looking to be the first team to repeat as champions in nearly two decades.

Manbir Deol of the Fulton Maroons tries to break away from the clutches of Keenan Jespersen of the Kal Lakers Thursday at Kal.
Maroons brush back Lakers Morning Star Staff
It was a showdown Thursday afternoon in the Coldstream with the winner moving up a notch in the final Okanagan Valley Senior AA Rugby League standings. The Fulton Maroons brushed back the host Kalamalka Lakers 17-7 to finish second. The Lakers settled for fourth spot. Fulton hosts the Merritt Panthers Wednesday afternoon at Grahame Park, while Kal visits the Brocklehurst Broncos of Kamloops the same day, in first-round playoff action. “Kal pushed us hard in the first half but we had some tough defence and held them out from crossing the try line,” said Fulton head coach Rick Smith. Kal had a couple of opportunities to take the early lead with a couple of penalty kicks but were unsuccessful. The Maroons finally broke through the Kal defence with a series of continuous rucks in the forwards which resulted in a scamper down the sideline by winger Jeremy Collins.
Collins was tackled close to the line and then after a couple more rucks, No. 8 man, Ben Olson, took the ball in for the first try of the game. The Maroons continued to pressure Kal with more play in the forwards which helped weaken the defence, allowing big Dalton Anderson to make some strong runs for two more tries and a convert. Kal did not give up though. With about five minutes left in the game, they marched the ball down the field culminating with a try scored by centre Nick Kober. The Valley semifinals are scheduled for Monday, May 16, followed by the final Thursday, May 20. The first round of provincial playoffs go Saturday, May 29 at various locations. The finals go June 3-5 in Abbotsford. Both Fulton and Kal rate honourable mentions in the provincial top-10. The Rockridge Ravens of West Vancouver are No. 1, followed by Brentwood College Blackhawks of Mill Bay.
Kellen named Most Sportsmanlike Continued from A25 The twins played a vital role in capturing last year’s crown. Connor earned Top Forward honours at the tournament in Victoria. He was second overall in tournament scoring at this year’s World Junior A Challenge in Summerside, P.E.I., collecting four goals for 10 points in five games. This time though, Connor has yet to play a game at the RBC as he has been nursing a lower-body injury sustained in the Doyle Cup Championship series with the Spruce Grove Saints. “He’s beside himself that he can’t play,” said Wray. “He was practically in tears when he was told he wouldn’t be dressing for the first game.” Connor was expected to suit up for the remaining games this weekend. The gold-medal game goes today (noon PT) at Credit Union Place. At Friday night’s banquet in Dauphin, Kellen won the Tubby Schmalz Award for Most Sportsmanlike player in the Royal Bank Cup. The twins’ linemate at the World Junior A Challenge – Cody Kunyk of the Sherwood Park Crusaders – won the CJAHL
player of the year. After such a long, successful stint with the Vipers, the twins say it will be difficult to move on after this season. They still have a year of BCHL eligibility left, but there isn’t really anything left for them to accomplish in this league. They both have NCAA scholarships with the Connecticutbased Quinnipiac Bobcats. Viper grad Scott Zurevinski, a thirdyear forward, will be waiting for them. “Playing for Ferns (Viper head coach Mark Ferner) has been great,” said Kellen. “He and Duncan treat us really well, and I can’t say enough about Vernon. I pretty much call it my home now.” Added Connor: “It’s been a fairytale pretty much. Winning last year and being at RBC this year, every year we’ve been the team to beat.” The twins are thankful to their billet families – Brian and Brenda De Boice, and Miles and Karen Latwat – for welcoming them in their homes.

The Kelownaa Raiders grounded the Vernon Tigers 10-2 in Okanagan Xtreme Lacrosse League action Thursday night at Wesbild Centre. Despite giving up the first goal just 90 seconds into the opening period, the Cats clamped down and took a 2-1 lead after the first period on goals from Trevor McEachnie and Tyler Plante, the first of the season for both players. Tiger netminder Glen Clissold faced 14 shots in the first, making several great saves to preserve the lead. In the second period, Kelowna ramped up its offence and connected five times. Joe Brown ignited the fireworks 4:11 into the second period and Colby Field ended things with two more goals in a five-minute span to give Kelowna a 6-2 lead. Kelowna outshot Vernon 32-24 after two periods, The 1-3 Tigers defence really struggled
in the third as Kelowna added two more goals in just over a minute. Vernon couldn’t muster much on a two-man advantage, actually giving up some scoring chances. Kyle MacLennan rifled a shot with 30 seconds left in the game to lift Kelowna (3-1) into double digits. Cam Needham earned the win with 29 saves, while Clissold finished with 37 stops. It was a three-star sweep for Kelowna as Jared Neigum was first star with 2+2. He leads the Raiders with seven goals and 15 points. Steve Plasko was named second star for chipping in with four helpers and Kyle MacLennan netted third-star honours with 2+1. Meanwhile, the host Kamloops Rattlers clipped the Armstrong Shamrocks 2-1 Friday night. Brett Heitman gave the Shamrocks a 1-0 first-period lead, while the Rattlers got second-period goals from

SNAG golf in full swing Morning Star Staff
It falls somewhere between miniature and regulation golf. And it only requires two clubs. Designed for youngsters aged 6-11, the Okanagan SNAG (Starting New At Golf) program will tee off Wednesday, May 19 at Polson Park with Scott Allan of Predator Ridge as head CPGA teaching pro. “SNAG is intended to be the first-touch experience for the beginning golfer,� said Allan, 38. “It contains all the basic elements of golf, but in a modified form. The game has its own simplified rules and terminology, which adds fun to the learning and playing experience.� Specially designed equpment includes the launcher, used to launch, pitch and chip the ball, and the roller, which replaces the putter. All shots other than putting are played off a small rubber mat and tee called the launch pad, ensuring the player will have an optimal lie every time. The target, called the flagsticky, is an aboveground weighted cylinder covered with a hook material. The SNAG ball is slightly smaller than a tennis ball and covered with a loop material. You finish by sticking your ball to the flagsticky. The program kets on all aspects of golf, including physical, mental and emotional. SNAG includes age-specific lessons plans, student assessment and numerous opportunities for golf-related activities. Allan, a Saskatoon native who has spent 14 years in the golf industry in Golden, Nakusp and most recently, Sun Rivers in Kamloops, hopes to put together a weekly junior league at Predator. “I’ve got a passion for junior golf,� said Allan, who started at Predator in March. Kids aged 6-8 years will enjoy the SNAG program from 3:45-4:45 p.m., while kids 9-11 years will follow from 5-6 p.m. There will be five sessions for $75, including a refreshment each day and SNAG booklet.

Gold medalist honoured ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Having started his curling career at the old Armstrong Curling Club where Armstrong Pellet now operates, and continuing to curl today in the current facility at the IPE grounds, Mayor Chris Pieper knows the sport is about fun. He also knows it’s a sport that can humble the greatest curlers in the world. Pieper told Paralympic wheelchair curling gold medalist Ina Forrest he can’t imagine adding a wheelchair and throwing a rock with a stick to the mix. Pieper and colleague Mayor Will Hansma, of Spallumcheen, presented Forrest with recognition of excellence awards from both communities in front of both councils Monday in Spallumcheen. “The Olympics this year brought communities, cities, the province of B.C. and all Canadians together like no other event in our history,” said Pieper as he presented his award to Forrest. “Everyone in Canada was proud of all athletes, and we all won when you won.” Forrest was a member of Canada’s winning foursome, which included Vernon’s Sonja Gaudet and Richmond residents Jim Armstrong and Darryl Neighbour. Canada defeated Korea in Vancouver to win Paralympic gold. We are extremely proud of her as a community,” said Hansma. “To have somebody from Spallumcheen be part of a gold medal team, it was so exciting to see it all unfold and to know people on that team that we all knew. We’re also talking about Sonja, she’s really involved in our community too.” Forrest, adorned with her gold medal, was honoured to be recognized, and happily posed for photos with council members. Also a member of Canada’s world wheelchair curling championship team, Forrest is

CARA BRADY
Morning Star Staff
Family and good food mean everything to Italians, and Concetta Scebba is content to know the tradition in at least five generations of her family. She grew up learning to cook from her grandmother and now she sees her grandchildren working in her sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant, Ricardoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mediterranean Kitchen. Life was hard when she was a young child in Cassino, Italy during the Second World War. Her father had been taken by the German soldiers and they thought he was dead. That left Concettaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother with two children to care for and the only thing that kept them from starving was her grandparentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; farm produce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was terrifying not knowing where my father was, we thought he was dead. My grandmother teach me to do everything with cooking, how to make sauces and soups. I was always messing with the flour and learning how to make pasta and bread,â&#x20AC;? said Concetta. To everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joy, her father came home from a prisoner-of-war camp in 1947 and went to Montreal in 1950, sending for his family in 1953. Concetta worked in a dress factory and enjoyed sewing for family and she continued to love cooking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All my life, I do everything from scratch. Everything has to be fresh. When I am at home, I like to be in the kitchen,â&#x20AC;? she said. She raised her three children on good Italian food and enjoys helping Ricardo with food preparation at the restaurant. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous for her polpettas (meatballs) and other dishes at the restaurant. Her husband, Joe, grows many of the vegetables used in the restaurant and plays the guitar for the special Italian nights. The restaurant is very much a family affair with daughter-in-law, Sue Miller, as a partner, granddaughter Melanie Cooper as head waitress/manager, grandson Taylor Cooper learning to be a cook, and younger
grandsons, Jack Cooper and Swade Scebba, as bus boys. Sue is happy to be part of such a close family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not many people can say they really love their mother-in-law. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taught me so much about unconditional love and acceptance and forgiveness. I just love being around her. I met Ricardo when we were both waiters in Vancouver. Here I was divorced with three children coming into an Italian family but she welcomed me with open arms from the beginning,â&#x20AC;? said Sue, brushing away a tear at the memory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This woman has survived cancer three times and she is so full of love and ready to help everyone. I could hope to be even a little bit like her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She brings 60 years of cooking Italian food and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being passed on. Ricardo learned from her and they are working on a cookbook, Ricardo and Mama, to be ready later this year. Food is how Italians celebrate everything and we want to share the recipes.â&#x20AC;? Ricardo Scebba credits his mother with his interest in becoming a chef. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned what good food tastes like from her. Then I started asking about recipes and experimenting. Cooking is about being creative and then repeating it. I love cooking and working with the family because it keeps me in touch with my parents and my kids. I get to see them more,â&#x20AC;? he said. The family has traveled in Italy and Concetta and Joe, who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 2008, moved to the Okanagan from Ontario four years ago. She loves cooking family dinners once a week and friends are known to do whatever they can to get an invitation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been through a lot but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a good life and it makes me feel good to see people sit down for dinner at the restaurant or at home and enjoy good food. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very grateful for my family and that we can be together,â&#x20AC;? said Concetta.

Justin Moore knows his mother, Melina Moore, is special and he’s happy to be able to share it with everyone. He entered a contest in the Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics store in Victoria in March. “I was with my mom and they asked if I wanted to enter and win some stuff for my mom. She likes Lush stuff a lot so I thought it was a good idea,” said Justin, 10, a Grade 4 student at Beairsto elementary school. “I wrote it right there. I said how amazing she is and how she helps everyone and she spoils me so she should get spoiled sometimes, too. I couldn’t wish for a better mom. When I get home from school, she has a treat for me, maybe something awesome and exciting. Once on a school night, we went to Kelowna to see a symphony concert. She always makes me feel special.” Justin enjoys all the things he and his mother do together, from going for a bike ride to get ice cream, to watching a movie, to singing together.

Amnesty International is proud to present the outrageously entertaining film, The Yes Men Fix The World, at its Human Rights Film Fest on Monday. The movie follows two young prankster/activists who pretend to be corporate executives in order to expose powerful corporate evil doing and have a bit of fun at the same time. Armed with nothing but thrift store suits, the Yes Men — Any Birchlbaum and Mike Bonanno — lie their way into business conferences and parody their corporate targets in extreme ways. “Posing as top executives of corporations they hate, the Yes Men do everything they can to wake up their audiences to the danger of letting greed run our world,” said Lee Brinkman with the Vernon chapter of Amnesty International. “All festival goers will have an opportunity to sign

Rocker is bad to the bone in song only KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not every day a musician known for his feel-good biker bar anthems sings the national anthem â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the Canadian one at that. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just what George Thorogood did with gusto when The Morning Star reached him by phone before he makes his way to Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wesbild Centre, Sunday, May 16. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I compare Canada to San Francisco, if you could compare country to city. The scenery is beautiful, you have the Rocky Mountains, Quebec City and Vancouver are beautiful, and then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Montreal. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of anything wrong with it,â&#x20AC;? laughed the Delaware-born and raised guitarist/singer, who with his band, The Destroyers, has been rocking the airwaves for more than 30 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also have a strong fan base up there.â&#x20AC;? Thorogood isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just whistling Dixie. Anyone who has turned on rock radio, or sat in a bar drinking Molsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for any length of time, should recognize the papa preachinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Get A Haircut, Bo Diddley beaut Who Do You Love, and happy hour heavy hitters such as John Lee Hookerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer and I Drink Alone â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all classic Thorogood. And just hum a few bars of Bad to the Bone to any young Canadian guitar student, and the sign of recognition should light up their faces. With his trademark black T-shirt and snakeskin headband, it might seem that Thorogood has wiled a lot of time away in dark, smoky places, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only part of the job. Also a dad, Thorogood says he likes to look after himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My saying is if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have your health, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have wealth, I stay out of Italian cars, eat my vegetables and get as much rest as possible,â&#x20AC;? he said. Coming from a blue state, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise Thorogood was on the bandwagon with U.S. President Barack Obama for health care reform â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; still a hot button subject, even though the bill was passed in March. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some things, I believe, the States are way behind the times in. This was way overdue. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that some donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take the time to understand it. All you have to do is look around the world and see why it is so effective,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had my teeth worked on in London, and the equipment was so advanced. It was like Cape Canaveral. I also went to get my teeth done in Beverly Hills, and the equipment was archaic.â&#x20AC;? Which leads us to why he loves Canada so much. For a doughnut and beer loving nation, Thorogood says he has noticed that Canadians appear healthy.

George Thorogood leads his band The Destroyers into Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wesbild Centre for a night of rockinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; blues Sunday, May 16. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I realize no system is perfect, but when 90 per cent of your population seems healthy, it must mean the system is working,â&#x20AC;? he said. Thorogood is feeling especially good these days. He and the Destroyers continue to enjoy the success of their last album, 2009â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Dirty Dozen. The CD features, you guessed it, 12 songs, six of which were chosen from previous albums, plus six new ones recorded in the â&#x20AC;&#x201D;George studio. Having released a greatest hits package in 2004, celebrating 30 years in the rock business, Thorogood says he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it was necessary to have his biggest hit on The Dirty Dozen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Bad to the Bone was the right song for the theme of the record. You listen to every Marty Robbinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; collection and there is El Paso. It can get a bit stale,â&#x20AC;? he said. The album, instead, is mostly a bluescentric collection of songs, many of which
â&#x20AC;&#x153;My saying is if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have your health, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have wealth.â&#x20AC;?

John Estes, Chuck Berry, Howlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Wolf, and Willie Dixon. And all feature Thorogoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature rasp and turned-up-to-11 guitar. The blues has always been in Thorogoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood ever since he started out as a young kid in the East Coast music scene, and over the years, he has been able to meet some of his Thorogood blues heroes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They thought I was a very cool guy,â&#x20AC;? he laughed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The blues is where I started from. You have to start somewhere, and my music is not One Day in the Life or Bridge Over Troubled Water. Taj Mahal and Keith Richards, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re older than me, and (the blues) is where they began.â&#x20AC;? And although heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s influenced many guitarists with his signature sound, Thorogood is more apt these days to listen to the smooth, surf sounds of one Hawaiian-born guitarist.

Zirka returns victorious Morning Star Staff
The Br itish Columbia Ukrainian Cultural Festival celebrated its 15th year this weekend in Mission. Vernon’s Zirka Ukrainian dancers came home with medals and a trophy from their 10th festival appearance. The Zirka dancers showed strong dance skills and choreography, said Zirka president Sheila Monroe. The juniors, ages eight to 10 years, who were at their first festival entered two dances, their Hutzul dance from that region of the Ukraine, which earned a silver medal, and their Kozachok which earned a bronze medal from the Poltava region of Ukraine. “The adjudicator explained to the audience, that while dances in the past took place anywhere, this was not possible in the rocky Hutzul region where flat ground is simply not found, therefore, Hutzul dances show small high steps because that is how people had to move around,” said Monroe. Zirka in total received three gold medals, two silver medals and five bronze medals, with two trophies for highest marks in the Polissian and Bukovynian region of Ukraine. “Now they have to stay focussed the way they were in Mission as we prepare for our own Zabava, a celebration of dance and culture on
May 15,” said artistic director Darcia Pryce. The two youngest groups of dancers, while not competing in Mission, have been busy performing for seniors at Heron Grove and Silver Springs, where they brought smiles to the faces of all, said Monroe. “We are often asked to perform several times at a facility because the seniors so enjoy seeing the children and their enthusiasm for dance. “We are always look-
ing for new dancers,” said Monroe, adding they needn’t be Ukrainian to participate in the dance group. Saturday’s Zirka Zabava (meaning party) concert will include the Dolyna dancers from Kelowna at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. Tickets for adults are $15. Seniors and students are $10 and children under five are free. Call the Ticket Seller box office at 549-7469, or order at www.ticketseller.ca.

now. Parts of this column originally appeared in Library Journal.
If you have trouble sleeping at night, you might try not watching TV or using your computer at least two hours prior to bedtime. Do a little stretching, go to bed a bit earlier, read a good book or listen to soft music. Try to get at least seven hours of sleep each night. One of the biggest advances in medicine was the discovery of antibiotics and antiviral drugs. Penicillin saved many lives during World War II and has saved millions since. The discovery of penicillin in the 1930s came about by accident but Alexander Fleming had the knowledge to realize something revolutionary was occurring. The new drug product became a reality in the 1940s. Another drug class that has had a great impact on the lives of the moderately to severely depressed patient is the antidepressants. There are many, many people who have benefitted from them. If a person has only mild depression, these drugs are not the first line of treatment. Talking about your problems is a better approach for the mildly depressed. May 10 is World Lupus Day. Lupus is an autoimmune disease where a person’s immune system can turn on itself and cause severe inflammation, damage and pain. Lupus can affect anyone but 90% of lupus patients are women most of whom develop the disease during their child-bearing years. For more information on lupus, check the Lupus Canada website at lupuscanada.org. Patronizing one pharmacy for all your medication needs helps your pharmacist serve you better. We would be happy to be your pharmacist.

Sample more water workshops Morning Star Staff
As the torrent of Runaway Moon Theatre workshops slows to a trickle, eager art lovers still have the opportunity to sample a few more of the water workshops that will become a part of a community play in Enderby this summer. On Thursday, Murray MacDonald and Kristi Christian will blend their two streams of exploration on a water theme. They’re calling this evening of music and dance Convergence, and are inviting people who have attended any of their sessions through the winter and spring, as well as those who’d simply like to be a part of it now. The workshop will be held at the Enderby Drill Hall at 7 p.m. Be prepared to make music and movement. On Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. at Timbercreek Hall (behind Enderby’s SuperSave Gas), Deb Humphries will share yet another fabric decoration technique, the sixth in this series. This time it’s using bleach to create the spectacular patterns and textures of water on long swathes of cloth. On May 22, from 1 to 4 p.m., again at the Timbercreek Hall, pot-
The Aisle Seat movie review will return to Arts next Friday
ter Daniel Stark will lead a session on building clay water vessels. An accomplished local potter, Stark will be tying up the Making Mud ceramic series with this exciting hands-on afternoon. “These workshops are a golden opportunity to learn some new techniques or try out a new artform and at the same time contribute to the creation of truly local art,” said Runaway Moon publi-
cist Jaci Metivier. Everything made during these workshops will become a part of the Reflection Community Art Project spectacle in July up at Kingfisher Environmental Centre. All workshops are offered free of charge and all ages are welcome. For more information or a full schedule of workshops, call 250306-3935 or visit www. runawaymoon.org.

Three students at Pleasant Valley Secondary School are blazing a business trail that could create a bright future for those who follow them. It may also send them along a career arc of their own. Jessica Davidson, Torrie Nicholas and Clay Valstar have created a business and financial plan project for the E-Spirit National Aboriginal Youth Business Plan Competition, which runs in Ottawa from Tuesday to Thursday. The trio is the first group of PVSS students to enter the contest though sponsor teacher Bernice Jensen is a veteran, having attended five previous events while working at Chase Secondary School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The real exciting thing about E-Spirit is lots of these kids go on and make it into a business,â&#x20AC;? said Jensen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tell the kids the doors are open. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something you want to pursue or feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worthwhile, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always opportunities down the road to do that.â&#x20AC;? For a business, the team came up with Alter-Native, a graphic design company that would focus on First Nations communities but work with non-native clients as well. Their slogan is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We create what you imagine.â&#x20AC;? Alter-Nativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services include the design and production of logos for clothing, vehicle wraps, billboards, business cards and beyond. At the conference in Ottawa, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to run through multiple presentations of their idea to judges and fellow contestants at a trade show event. But the financial plan, which is vital if the team wants a chance at the prize money (first place is $2,500), is proving to be the biggest challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to figure out the finances and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent forever working on that,â&#x20AC;? said Nicholas, a Grade 9 student. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to be realistic with it,â&#x20AC;? added Davidson, a Grade 10 student, noting itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken a lot of research to make a plan that will stand up to scrutiny. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I created a fake homepage on the (computer) Paint program,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken lots of research and lots of phone calls.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put a lot on the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plates as the competition is entirely voluntary. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a bit of a leg up by compet-

Executive attends program Morning Star Staff
A Vernon businessman recently took part in an initiative to support entrepreneurial spirit in Canada. Don Gibbs, president of tekmar Control Systems, was among 40 businesspeople who participated in a week-long program at the Richard Ivey School of Business in London, Ont. “I am thankful for the opportunity to take part in Quantum Shift this year and am expecting to come out of the program with greater knowledge and skills for leading tekmar into the future,” he said. The Quantum Shift leadership development program was founded by Ivey and KPMG Enterprise and is sponsored by TD Commercial Banking and The Globe and Mail. This is the seventh year that a select group of entrepreneurs participate in the program, which focuses on how to lead an enterprise through exponential growth; how to attract and retain the best employees; how to uncover obstacles that may be limiting growth; how to value a venture and use strategies for moving from business plan to financial proposition; and how to build a strong network of entrepreneurial peers to share best-practices. tekmar, which is headquartered on Silver Star Road, develops and manufactures control systems for the heating industry.

BUS DRIVER RESPONSIBLE FOR PASSENGER’S FALL By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. Greta Jansen, 52, was recently awarded $40,000 compensation for a severe knee injury she suffered while riding the bus in Victoria. As she stood to open a window, the bus suddenly pulled away from the bus stop, causing her to fall and her left leg to slam forward into the hard plastic seat in front of her. The judge noted that Ms. Jansen cried out in pain when she struck her knee, and while other passengers asked if she was okay, the driver didn’t. “He looked back to see people around a woman acting as if they were concerned about her.” After pulling into the next bus stop to let several people off, he went to the back of the bus, passing by her to help a passenger in a wheelchair “but said nothing to Ms. Jansen and went back to his seat and carried on with the route.”
of the bus from the stop was abrupt and forceful, causing her to fall, notwithstanding she had braced herself while opening the window. There were no exigencies of traffic or other like explanations for this manner of driving.” Bus drivers must use all due, proper and reasonable care and skill to avoid or prevent injury to their passengers. The care required is of a very high degree. In an earlier case, Jane Wang, 74, who was sitting in the side bench behind the driver reserved for the elderly and handicapped, got up to take her coat off when the bus came to a red light. When the light turned green, and the driver started the bus moving down the hill, she was still struggling to take off her coat. She lost her balance and fell over, and became quadriplegic.
Then when Jansen, who was the last passenger left on the bus, got off, “she made a reThe court concluded that the mark about the driver’s lack of Thomas D.A. driver was 75% responsible concern.

Earnings increase for credit union Morning Star Staff
Interior Savings Credit Union is confident that it’s challenging economic turmoil head on. In 2009, consolidated earnings from operations were $18.4 million, up 14.3 per cent from the previous year. Year-end assets rose $110 million to $1.894 billion, ranking Interior Savings as the fifth largest credit union in B.C. and one of the top-performing credit unions in Canada.
“Now is not the time to run for cover.” — Barry Meckler
“The end of 2008 had many economists and consumers worried about what 2009 would bring,” said Barry Meckler, president and CEO.
“This awareness allowed us to make informed decisions that resulted in one of our most successful years in recent history.” Also last year, Interior
Savings returned more than $4 million to its members through its rewards program. Further, the credit union invested nearly $400,000 back into the communities it serves and made upgrades to its products and services. “Now is not the time to run for cover or to stop investing in the future,” said Meckler. “We knew the economy would inevitably pick up again and it was imperative that

Start up tips for motorcycle season.
1. Get insured: Whether you ride a regular or limited speed motorcycle, it must be registered, licensed, and AUTO insured for INSURANCE operation and WITH use on the road. HEATHER The cost of PRIZEMAN insurance is based primarily on the bike’s engine displacement and its value. Generally, the higher the engine displacement and value, the higher the cost to insure. Look for a policy with deductible options as the deductible you choose will also affect your premium.
lubricate the chain before your first ride and every 1,000 kilometres. 4. Protect your head with a good helmet: It’s the law, and safety is vital on the road. Ensure that you wear a helmet that bears a recognized certification such as DOT or Snell. 5. Wear reliable and reflective riding gear: Ensure that you invest in quality reflective riding gear, but never assume that other motorists can see you when you’re on your bike. Proper riding boots, leather jacket and pants are also a good investment for your riding safety.
2. Wash your bike: It’s the seasoned rider’s trick for keeping on top of the little details that make the difference; tighten any loose nuts and bolts, and look for leaks that may need your attention. 3. Check your tires, brake pads, fluids, and chain: For safe riding, make sure your tires are properly inflated, brake fluid is topped up, and both front and rear brakes are adjusted correctly. Replace your brake fluid every two years to maintain its effectiveness and
6. Protect your gear: Look for policies that provide coverage for your riding gear, as well as personal contents you may be carrying in your saddlebags. 7. Take a test ride: Your skills likely won’t be as polished as they were when you parked your bike last season. Take a ride around your neighbourhood to practice and get your balance back. If you haven’t already, you may want to look into a motorcycle safety course. If you have completed a recognized course you may also be able to save on your insurance coverage. Take these tips to heart and you will be on your way to a safe and enjoyable riding season.

Feeling Italian in Orvieto NANCY MORGANTINI Special To The Morning Star
ITALY - I have to tell you about the “sausage convention” in Orvieto. At least that is what we called them — “the sausage guys.” They were everywhere, in packs of six or secev, strolling the streets in their “goingto-town” suits and ties. My husband, Luigi, the Italian linguist, said that their dialect was definitely from the “south”... but, no, they were not, or could not be associated with the “M” word. Their not-so-great-fitting suits and fake silk ties gave them away (and I think they bought their “designer” sunglasses from one of those street vendors). They strutted around like “flocks” of roosters, roosters with cell phones. We asked a waiter at a small cafe’ if they were locals...after he recovered from laughing, he said that they had been around for a week and no one knew who they were and why they were there. We decided that they must be in town for a sausage convention and nicknamed them “the Sausage Guys.” So, days later, who do we see at the train station waiting for the train to Naples? “The Sausage Guys”!...still wearing the same attire, but with NO luggage! Who goes to Orvieto for a whole week with nothing but one suit and one tie? Orvieto, was to be, for Luigi

The Teatro Mancinelli theatre sits quielty before an opera begins. and I, “a place to drop off the rental car” in Italy, but it turned out to be much more than we had expected. Thanks to the 21st century Internet, we found the “perfect” home in Orvieto. CasaVera Bed and Breakfast felt more like our own apartment with a fully equipped Umbrian kitch-
en. It was quite a discovery, just a few metres from the heart of historic Orvieto. Much of the city traces its history back to Etruscan times (800 BC). Built on a huge cliff of tufa (a soft volcanic rock), it dominates the surrounding hills and plains. It has seen millennia of history and civi-
lizations. We took the “underground tour” to see just two (out of 1200 known) of the Etruscan underground chambers and tunnels. Four hundred and fourty four of the chambers are still accessible, most privately owned and some used as wine cellars! One of the most interesting chambers was what I called the “pigeon hole”. Dozens of pigeon roosts were carved out of the tufa walls, not by Etruscans, but during the medieval period when “pigeon pate” was profitable and the only source of protein during sieges. An early “home based business.” The underground is only a small part of the charm of Orvieto. We could wander through the narrow, cobblestone streets, sit outside a small bar/caffe’ with our “aperitivo” and feel like a local, among the locals. I almost felt Italian (if only it was that easy to learn the language!). The buildings in our “neighbourhood” date back to around the 1300s — an amazing feeling of time travel. One night, as we wandered down Via del Duomo, I glanced up at a third story window and discovered a beautifully frescoed ceiling. It made me wonder what other “treasures” hide inside those historic buildings.

After our visit to the underground, we headed above ground…way above, 47 metres to be exact. The Torre del Moro, a 13-14th centuries tower provided a “pigeon’s” eye view of Orvieto and the Umbrian hills. What could be a better way to enjoy Italy than to refine oneself and spend a night at the Opera? In Orvieto, I was finally able to shed my tourist attire, dig my skirt out of the suitcase and experience my first ever Italian opera, Rigoletto, in Teatro Mancinelli, a beautiful 150 year old theatre. These are theatres where operas were first performed — warm, small, intimate and elegant surroundings. How could I forget the Duomo di Orvieto? The “Duomo”, the famous Gothic style cathedral smack dab in the centre of historic Orvieto, with it’s excessively decorated façade, and gothic design striped sides was a “must see.” With camera in hand, hearing the distinctive “brides march,” I rushed to “capture” the bride and groom exiting the cathedral into a shower of rice. The enormity of the Duomo gave me a feeling of unreality, but after seeing and hearing the 21st century wedding taking place, I had a different perspective. Although our visit to Orvieto was short on time, it was long enough for me to fall in love with the feeling of being totally immersed in the Italian culture, even for my English-only speaking self. I see a return visit in my future. Nancy Morgantini is with Travel Writers’ Tales, a travel article syndicate.

Anne passed away peacefully at Hospice House, knowing she was loved by her family and friends. Anne was born in England, spent part of her childhood in India, then immigrated to Canada at the age of six with her family. Her education was obtained at public school, private convent and UBC. She leaves behind her daughters Elizabeth Fensom (Brian) and Carolyn Laidman-Betts (Greg); granddaughter Brittany Huddart and step granddaughter Tara Betts (Ken Sullivan) and step great-granddaughter Audra Sullivan. Anne loved the arts and was equally passionate about astronomy and alpine flowers. She helped her community as an advocate for Vernon’s first public library and as a pioneer board member of Vernon Hospice House. She was an active guide leader for many years, a volunteer with the Sovereign Lakes cross country ski club, the Wholistic Living Centre and the Allan Brooks Nature Society. Her celebration of life will be held at the Pleasant Valley Funeral Home on Sunday, May 16th at 2:00pm. A tea will follow. In lieu of donations it is Anne’s wish that donations be sent to either Allan Brooks Nature Centre, Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation or Vernon Hospice House
Along with her loving daughter, Ashleigh, Nadine is survived2X7 by her brothers, Terry (Jane) and Rick; nieces, Sandy and Lana; and best friend, Sharon Leduc. Predeceased by parents, Patricia and Harold Somerville. Nadine graduated from St. Paul’s Hospital (Vancouver) as a Registered Nurse in 1962. Her career encompassed a diverse number of regions: Nakusp,Kelowna, Calgary, and Baker Lake, MB as a Public Health Nurse; Vernon Jubilee Hospital, Scarborough Grace Hospital, ON and St. Mary’s in New Westminster as Central Supply Manager; and as “receptionist extraordinaire” at Vancouver Mental Health Services and Excell Call Centre, Penticton. Nadine’s love of her daughter kept her active as a girl guide leader and “horse mom” and she was also a proud Patron of the Arts—music, theatre & cinema. Her favourite days were spent with Ashleigh driving all over BC in her beloved 1973 orange VW Westfalia camper van, singing and camping. Nadine’s laughter, generous spirit, fierce independence (especially as a single Mom), her belief in the power of women and especially her love of singing and whistling will be sadly missed by all of her family and friends. Her memory will live with us forever. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the S.P.C.A. A Celebration of Nadine’s Life will be held on Sunday, May 16, 2010—2PM at #145-3948 Finnerty Rd, Penticton. All are strongly encouraged to dress in cheerful colours as Nadine would have liked.
