Close to 400 fans showed up to congratulates the Vipers’ organization on another Canadian title. called the team true ambassadors of the city, and the North Okanagan region. “You guys are six-time Canadian champions, and the only city to have won back-to-back Canadian championships twice,� said Lippert of Vernon’s accomplishments in 1990-91, and 2009-10. Team owner Dr. Duncan Wray, celebrating his fourth Royal Bank Cup title, thanked the fans for coming out, and vowed to go after a seventh Canadian championship. “We will have some challenges ahead of us, but we’re going to go for a three-peat,� said Wray, which drew a huge cheer. Following the speeches, the players mingled with fans, signing autographs and posing for pictures.

ropping the Vernon Vipers off at the Kelowna Airport prior to their departure for the Royal Bank Cup in Manitoba, team bus driver Mike Rogers made the team a vow. Win a sixth national junior A hockey championship, and he would replace the number five on the side of the bus, fronting the message, “5 time National Champions,� with the number six. Both promises were kept. “They did and I did,� smiled Rogers Tuesday at Spirit Square at City Hall, after delivering the Vipers for a lunch-hour barbecue. On the side of the team bus, the number five was X-ed out, replaced with a six. Close to 400 fans, friends, parents and well-wishers were on hand to greet the six-time Canadian champions at the barbecue hosted by the City of Vernon, who treated participants to free burgers, hot dogs and drinks. Among the first to show up for the event were Pearl and Eric Pharo, both 81, season ticket holders since 2001. The pair watched Sunday’s championship game, won by the Vipers 8-1 over the host Dauphin Kings, twice on TSN2. “The first time we tried to watch it was 1-0 Vernon, then they made us furious by going to a threeminute ad, and when the game was back on, all of a sudden it was 4-0 Vernon,� said Pearl. “We taped the game later and watched it again. We knew with Connor (Jones) coming back that Vernon was going to win. They have such great speed and skill on the ice. They skated rings around them (Kings).� Speaking of Connor, Miranda Blatny, a Grade 6 student at Kidston Elementary, attended the barbecue with her mom, Cindy, decked out in her Connor Jones sweater. “When we first moved to Vernon and watched the Vipers, Connor was wearing 10 and that’s my lucky number,� said the soft-spoken Blatny, who had her picture taken with her favourite Viper.

Water alternatives sought RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Some officials insist Greater Vernon must tap into alternatives if water is to be conserved. Vernon council has discussed the current stage three water restrictions initiated by the North Okanagan Regional District, and there’s a growing push to consider ways to save water for future needs. “There’s a lot of good ideas and practises out there,” said Mayor Wayne Lippert. One concept that Lippert favours is expanding the city’s Wayne Lippert treated effluent program to irrigate parks and other areas. “We irrigate three golf courses and a tree farm now.” Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe wants to see a shift from traditional sprinklers to drip irrigation, which uses less water and is more efficient. “Clearly we’re in an area that’s dry and we need a plan in place,” she said. NORD has resurrected its drought management team and it will be expanded to include representation from a number of stakeholders in the community. “The existing team we had was not broad enough,” said Coun. Patrick Nicol, adding that the new committee will include participants from business. Stage three water restrictions remain in place,
but on May 5, the NORD board decided to defer enforcement for two weeks pending further evaluation of water quantity in the area. After that time, it’s not known if stage three restrictions will continue for all of the Greater Vernon utility or only a portion of it. “The water in the upland reservoirs (Duteau Creek) has been very low,” said Lippert. “But there’s more than adequate water in Kalamalka Lake. The restrictions shouldn’t be across the whole system.” Lippert is also concerned that the utility could lose about $1.5 million in revenue if the restrictions remain in place for all customers no matter their source. While stage three restrictions are not being enforced until at least May 19, residents are being asked to conserve water. Under stage three, residential users can only use manual sprinklers once a week between 6 and 10 a.m. or 7 p.m. and midnight. Automatic underground sprinklers are allowed between midnight and 6 a.m. Addresses ending in 0 can water on Saturday, 1 on Sunday, 2 on Monday, 3 or 4 on Tuesday, 5 on Wednesday, 6 or 7 on Thursday and 8 or 9 Friday. Washing driveways and sidewalks for aesthetic purposes is prohibited, and there’s no washing of vehicles except for safety (windows, lights and licenses only) using a bucket with a cloth. Refilling of pools and garden ponds is not allowed. Hand-held sprinkling is allowed at any time.
Police seize brass knuckles, knife ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Thanks to the alert eyes of a bylaw officer, Vernon RCMP were able to arrest a woman being sought in connection with some assaults in the downtown core last week. Police were alerted Sunday shortly before 7:30 p.m. by the bylaw officer that the woman was in the downtown area. “She was wanted in connection with some assaults near the Upper Room Mission,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “While dealing with this woman in cells, police discovered on her possession a set of brass knuckles with a knife built into them.” The woman, 39, from Vernon and well-known to police, according to Molendyk, was charged with

The incentive of a pancake breakfast was nice but the majority of riders at the launch of Bike to Work Week Monday appreciated the physical and environmental benefits of leaving the car at home. For Laura Travelbea, who organized a team of 10 fellow Nature’s Fare Markets employees, the promise of increased exercise was key in attracting others to take part. “For me, I promoted it to my team as a fitness thing, a healthy way of life,” she said. She joined dozens of other riders at the Real Canadian Wholesale Club parking lot in the morning sunshine to enjoy the meal, and some fresh fruit and coffee before setting off on their bikes. It wasn’t a drastic change for Travelbea as she and her husband Brian are fitness fanatics and often ride bikes to work at other times of the year. “Both my husband and I do triathlons so it’s our lifestyle,” she said. “It’s actually a treat to ride to work.” For others, however, getting the bike out represented a bit of a lifestyle adjustment.

Brian Travelbea shares pancakes with his wife Laura at the Bike to Work Week breakfast Monday at the Real Canadian Wholesale Club. cation student Ward Mercer joined a handful of his classmates in making the commitment to ride a bike to school this week. “I’m going to have to get up a lot earlier,” said the Grade 11 stu-
dent who often drives to school. “It’s going to take a long time to ride in from where I live in Coldstream. It’ll add a good 25 minutes.” But the benefits to body and wallet are immediately apparent
to Mercer. “It’s good for exer-
cise and gas money,” he said. “Exercise is good because I’m not playing hockey anymore and I’m not getting the exercise I need to.” Having a group of friends helps, he said. “It’s motivating when a lot of other people are doing it.” Event organizer Wendy Majewski, City of Vernon transportation demand management co-ordinator, says the event has been growing more popular over the last three years and she hopes it continues. She hopes to see fewer and fewer people in single-occupancy vehicles in the coming years. “We’re trying to help people make some positive life changes,” she said. “Even if it’s only two or three times a week, what that’s doing is taking stress off the roads and taking demands off parking. “And it’s healthy. I hope (Bike to Work Week) gets bigger and bigger every year.” More information is available online at www. biketowork.ca.

Hung out to dry
S
ome politicians would have the public and the media believe they were caught off guard by stage three water restrictions in Greater Vernon, and that North Okanagan Regional District staff just pushed ahead arbitrarily. However, one needs to go back to the regular board meeting of April 21 to get a sense of what actually led to the crackdown on water use. As part of the agenda, utility manager Al Cotsworth, and Arnold Badke, general manager of engineering, presented a lengthy report on snowpack/reservoir levels. According to my notes, they didn’t mince words when it came to pending Richard Rolke drought conditions and the actions required to pull Greater Vernon through a dry season. “We’re so close to level three right now that that should be implemented,” said Badke. “We’re prepared to go immediately to stage three.” Through power point and a verbal presentation, the politicians were also provided with details on what stage three rules would mean for residents, businesses and farmers. “Refilling will be prohibited for pools,” said Renee Clark, water quality senior technologist. There was almost no discussion among the elected officials about the restrictions and none about the possible negative implications to residents, businesses or utility rates. The following motion was unanimously approved by directors: “That the general manager of engineering and the Greater Vernon water manager be directed to institute water restrictions as

contained in the drought management plan as necessary.” In layman’s terms, the board gave staff the authority to take whatever measures are necessary to preserve water stocks so we can flush our toilets later this year. Of course some confusion arose as restrictions regarding pools went from simply not being able to top them up on April 21 to an outright ban on filling pools April 23. That may leave some with the impression that staff was just flying by the seat of its pants, but I believe it had more to do with the unprecedented nature of the situation facing us. Stage three has never been implemented this early before, and tweaking the restrictions may be necessary based on evolving data on reservoir levels and what the weather does. But the bottom line is that the NORD board — our elected representatives — had given staff the ability to take action, and the information regarding restrictions — including pools — was known. But deflecting criticism is a game as old as politics itself and some board members started changing their tune as soon as public complaints about pools began to boil over. Staff were presented as the ones to blame. Obviously implementation of stage three rules could have been handled differently. Yes, there could have been a grace period so residents could adjust to the restrictions and do what they need to, whether it’s filling pools or planting turf. Certainly there could have been consultation with the impacted businesses. Hindsight, of course, is a wonderful thing, but the reality is that NORD employees were following the orders of their political masters, and when push got to shove, some of the bosses hung their staff out to dry.
No pressure on head coach/GM Mark Ferner and the returning players or anything, but a Royal Bank Cup three-peat by the Vernon Vipers in 2011 would be nice. After all, the most accomplished junior A hockey franchise in Canada has won back-to-back titles twice, but never three in a row. The Vernon Lakers came closest, going to four straight Centennial Cups from 1989-92, winning the national championship in 1990 and 91. In 1989 and 1992, the Lakers did not reach the final. In their other six Canadian tournament appearances, Vernon teams have reached the final game. And they are a perfect six-for-six in the gold-medal match. Wow. Sunday’s 8-1 thrashing of the host Dauphin (Man.) Kings clearly showed the Vipers were the better team, blowing open a tight 1-0 game with three goals less than a minute apart in the second period with only one of the goals being scored by a player named Jones (as in Connor and Kellen). The Vipers’ depth, speed and experience – they had 13 players that played in the 2009 RBC in Victoria – were superior to that of the host Kings. Perhaps it was the long journey the defending champs had just to get to Manitoba that gave them the edge over the other four teams – 26 playoff games, including the final two decided in game sevens. Whatever it was, the City of Vernon and the entire North Okanagan region can be proud of the accomplishments of its junior A hockey squad, one that has put Vernon on the hockey map for the past 20 years. Thanks to that, it’s not really that difficult to bring new players into the organization. And it will make the drive for “Heaven is Seven,” as in national titles, very exciting to watch.

Keep Polson open to cars
B
anning of cars in Polson Park is one way to go but perhaps consideration should be given to not going down that road. While banning cars may appeal to the purists, it may place undue restrictions on the more severely handicapped. While some may be able to make and enjoy the walk/push to the pleasant heart of the park, others may be denied the pleasure of just sitting beneath the cool canopy of trees enjoying the passing parade of nature. I have often enjoyed walking in the park and never have I felt threatened by road traffic nor did I ever feel they were intrusive on the experience. Traffic always moved a slow pace. I never HAND UP, NOT OUT Is there a difference? Yes most definitely. Being from a different province, Manitoba to be exact, I certainly know the difference. I offer a hand up, not a hand out to those who are in need of assistance. Taking the hand of our fellow neighbour and pointing them in the right direction means more to them than you could ever know. If they need support to keep their head above water, I will metaphorically and literally hold their chin up and give them the air to breathe and survive, whether it be emotionally or physically. Desperation begets desperate measures and I would hate to see a fellow human being resorting to bad behavior to survive. But we see a lot of that, don't we, as citizens of this city. Having never been put in that position I have been very lucky. I've always had the support and guidance from family, friends and yes strangers in the toughest of times. This leads me to this letter. I find myself in a position where I need a hand up, not a hand out. Would I put myself in a position where the stress and heaviness of my burdens cause me to feel that I have nowhere to turn? No. But I tell you, I understand why some would give up. I myself have put forth my need for support, for guidance, for understanding and

for help and all I have seen and been given, has been nonchalant comments, side remarks, and dismissing "that's too bad" replies. Whatever happened to helping your fellow man? I can understand the hesitation if you have been let down before, but if you know the person who is in obvious distress and hasn't done you wrong so to speak, then why not stop and genuinely ask, "What can I do to help." Since moving to this city, I have had a few eye-opening experiences that made me rethink my relocation. But there have been very positive things happen to me and my family. I keep telling myself that this was a good move for myself and my daughter, but lately because of the walls that have been thrown up, I have to think. Yes, it is beautiful British Columbia, but the beauty of it must come from the citizens of the province as well, and that is the beauty of helping your fellow man/woman. Respecting each other and giving a hand up.. when that is all that is wanted. Building bridges, not burning them — what a concept. E. Hall PIN WARNING My vehicle window was smashed and purses stolen in March at the Cummins Road dog park.
most, a radio playing. Additionally, in the blazing heat of July
The police were called immediately and we were given a file number. Both branches of my bank were closed and I thought I was safe as I had no credit cards, only a bank card. I thought there was no worry with having a PIN number that I have had for 10 or more years. But apparently, somehow, from my personal belongings, the thief managed to get the PIN number and spent almost $1,200 of my money in a few hours. At 10 p.m., while doing Internet banking, I discovered, to my horror, that my card had been used at two local gas stations, for $179.33 at a liquor store and $460.53 at a grocery store. I found a bank number online and was immediately able to cancel use of my bank card. The next morning, I went to report to the bank and then to the businesses to see if anyone remembered anyone doing these purchases and found copies of each exact receipt is available with the time, as well as video surveillance, of all four places. I've brought all of the information to the police who have yet to tell me if they have the surveillance videos. In this electronic age, that should be an instant easy way to catch the person that seems to have a very fruitful and ongoing business here at the parks in Vernon. Three days after my theft,
and August, many citizens take the opportunity for their meager 15 or 20 minute respite at noon by parking, windows open, slowly munching their lunch and reading their paper or just vegging while enjoying the breezes and the quiet. These opportunities may be missed. Now, if cars are to be banned, then perhaps consideration should be given to some sort of loop shuttle around the park to accommodate the physically challenged and those who don't have a great deal of time to walk to their place of peace and quiet. Perhaps two shuttles with drivers, fully licensed of course. We can afford it. Don't ban cars. Brian Worth
there was another pile of glass at the same parking lot. Shame on you, whoever is so easily stealing from people in Vernon, and I hope you are really enjoying that new TV you bought with my money. Maybe if you had needed to buy groceries instead of a TV, liquor and cigarettes, I wouldn't even feel so bad. I could sure use that money to buy groceries and pay my mortgage. The bank has said that their fine print states that I am not eligible to relieve the $1,200 that was stolen from my account. It doesn't matter that I can't afford to lose this much money and that I've been a loyal and honest customer for 35 years. So much for the good guys. I am responsible for having a PIN number that he was somehow able to access, but I am not responsible for the theft and fraudulent use of my card. I've lost $1,200, spent another $300 to $400 repairing my vehicle, replacing the items stolen, replacing ID, getting security, and spending lots of time phoning, driving around, searching, etc. I've spent days looking for things in the dog park, along the creek by Marshall Fields, and where some items were found nearby. I know the police have way too much to do, but I would think this person's picture could have been out the day after the theft. I will
say, this event has made us, our friends and neighbors much more aware of our security and may be a reminder for everyone to make absolutely sure of the inaccessibility of your security codes. Just because you have a secret PIN and card, does not mean that you can't be robbed. L. Hyldig

NORD hikes landfill fees Morning Star Staff
Long-term planning for shutting down landfills will force anyone dumping waste to dig deeper. As of July 5, the refuse disposal fee will climb from $63 to $75 a tonne, partially so the North Okanagan Regional District can initiate a closure reserve. “The costs to close a landfill are significant,” said chairman Herman Halvorson. “Although there are many years of capacity remaining at the Greater Vernon, Armstrong/ Spallumcheen and Lumby recycling and disposal facilities, the board felt current users have an obligation to cover the cost of closing these facilities once they have reached their capacity. The closure reserve surcharge will ensure that closure costs are borne by the customers who actually used that landfill space.” Other fees will also increase July 5 including for construction and demolition waste, which will rise to $145 a tonne. “Construction and demolition waste often contains large quantities of wood, metal and other materials that should be diverted,” said Halvorson. “By providing a greater financial incentive for customers to separate recyclable material from the rest of their refuse, diversion rates will increase and the life of all of our landfill sites will be extended.” A new category has been established for regulated materials such as asphalt roofing, yard and garden waste, glass, scrap metal and wood. Customers disposing of mixed loads of refuse containing regulated materials will be assessed a tipping fee of $145 a tonne. “There are convenient drop off locations at all of our facilities for regulated material and the disposal fees for sorted and separated regulated material, such as wood and metal, are

significantly lower than for refuse,” said Dale Danallanko, recycling and disposal facilities operations manager. Open house sessions are being planned this spring to answer questions about the new recycling and disposal fees. For more information, contact NORD at 250-550-3700.

News Sovereign Lake trails still open Morning Star Staff
There’s still snow on the mountain and Sovereign Lake is going to make the most of it. The nordic trails will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. until Sunday. “The conditions are beautiful at the moment,” said Trish Gobeil, who works at Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre. “The stadium groomed nicely. That shows there is still a lot of snow left.” Ski teams are taking advantage of the snow, “We call it late season training, or really early training for next season. These guys will already be thinking about next year,” said manager Scott Lemon. Planning is also underway for the Sparkling Hill Masters World Cup in March. Many overseas participants have already booked their accommodation in Vernon and at Silver Star Mountain Resort. “There are bookings on the mountain of in excess of 700 participants,” said Vikki Austin, accommodation director for the event. “Sally Gorby, director of sales and marketing at the Village Green Hotel, has confirmed bookings for 25 rooms for Russian participants.” The Prestige Inn has set aside 25 rooms for the Norwegians while the Same Sun Hostel at Silver Star has been fully booked by Russians. “We expect our four sponsor hotels in Vernon — the Prestige Inn, Village Green Hotel, Holiday Inn Express and Best Western Vernon Lodge — will have many bookings during the Sparkling Hill Masters World Cup,” said Austin.

Road safety continues to improve
S
ince the early 1990s, the frequency and severity of auto collisions has significantly reduced. In the Vernon area, there were 768 vehicle collisions in 2008. That statistic dropped to 645 in 2009, and this year, we are on track to continue the trend as there were 119 vehicle collisions in the first quarter of this year compared to 159 in 2009. The number of accidents caused by alcohol consumption has also decreased thanks to public awareness and education, police presence and strict laws. In an effort to continue to make our roads safer, B.C. recently announced Canada’s toughest impaired driving laws. This legislation introduces immediate and severe impaireddriving penalties to save lives, curb repeat offenders and give police more enforcement tools. Despite these hopeful statistics, there are still too many drivers, passengers, cyclists and pedestrians who are injured or killed in vehicle collisions. According to ICBC, vehicle collisions increase in the summer months.
With this in mind, there are many ways to reduce the likelihood, frequency and severity of vehicle collisions. Awareness of factors that could cause collisions is an important step in their prevention. ICBC states that driver inattention and speed are the top contributors to this type of accident. The province has worked to mitigate driver inattention by banning the use of Eric Foster popular and potential distractions, cell phones and other handheld electronic devices. This is the first year that using a handheld device while driving is illegal in British Columbia. This law keeps drivers’ hands on the steering wheel and their eyes on the road. If driver inattention is the most common cause of vehicle collisions, speed is the most common cause of vehicle fatalities. Although vehicle collisions are more frequent in urban settings, they are more likely to be fatal in rural areas which often have higher speed limits. In rural settings we also depend more on our private vehicles for transportation and travel longer distances. Therefore, proper car
maintenance is crucial. Ensuring your tires, brakes, engine, and headlights are in working order will help keep you and others safe. In addition, a wellmaintained car will increase your fuel mileage and reduce
carbon emissions. As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In Vernon-Monashee we are lucky to have our local RCMP working to prevent vehicle collisions. This year they have
already put forth a significant effort to make our roads safer and the results speak for themselves. There has also been an increase in impaired driving charges, driving suspensions, and roadside safety checks. Our law enforcement
will continue to patrol our roads to ensure our safety during the region’s busy summer months. This year, the city of Vernon has made road safety a top priority. As they launch their educational campaign, I encourage everyone to
be more aware of their road usage behaviour and help make our roads a safer place. In conjunction with the municipality, police forces and the province, we can all work together to make sure this summer is our safest yet.

The camp has instructors from the Vernon detachment joined by fellow officers from detachments throughout the Okanagan, and Burgess would like to see some financial support from other area detachments.
“Right now, Vernon carries the bulk of the load, but we’re looking at getting other school districts and detachments kicking in their fair share,” said Burgess. The Okanagan division of the RCMP Veterans Association chipped in Monday with a cheque for $1,000. “We’re a fraternal organization, and we do raise a few funds and are proud to sup-

The academy is named after the late Vernon RCMP Const. Jean Minguy, who drowned while on-duty in Okanagan Lake in June 2005. Minguy was a popular instructor at the academy.

Vernon’s top cop wants to ensure the recently completed Jean Minguy Memorial Youth Academy remains a fixture in the community. Supt. Reg Burgess said it’s a struggle every year to get financing for the camp, which sees Grade 11 and 12 students from Kamloops through to Osoyoos spend a week learning RCMP basics at the Vernon Army Camp. “We do get community support, but we don’t have a budget so we rely on the communities,” said Burgess. “This year, some people did step up nicely, which got us through again.” The camp costs roughly between $10,000 and $15,000 to operate for one week. Each student who participates is required to pay $500. The fees help cover the rental of the facility, food, busing and track suits for the cadets. Burgess told local media Monday he has a plan. “I’m going to approach a few people in the community and look to establish a non-

Dear Realtor Mike, When buying or selling property what are the common terms and conditions that one may expect on an offer?
Answer: For single family residential homes typically you would expect offers to be subject to financing, approval of title and property disclosure, home
inspection, insurance etc. For strata properties additionally you would expect subject to information certificate, rules & regs, fees, financials etc. If the property is rural other clauses for septic, water, land use should be added. On commercial or farm transactions there often is much more due diligence required. Your Realtor can help you determine necessary subjects.

Jewels sparkle as group sings farewell Morning Star Staff
It’s not easy saying goodbye, but a group of women, many of whom have been singing and dancing together for close to 20 years, plan to do it in style. Vocal group Jewels is performing its final concert Friday at the Schubert Centre. The group has decided to call it quits due to some of its members having other commitments. “One is moving away, a few have retired and are travelling,” said Lynn Hadfield, who has been with Jewels since its inception. “With such a small group, everyone needs to commit to being there and it’s getting harder and harder. I think there could be the possibility of getting back together for specific performances or perhaps another group growing out of this, but nothing is decided at this point.” Jewels’ beginnings go back to 1993, when the Vernon Community Singers were formed under Paul Hunter. “An invitation was put out to see if there was anyone interested in creating a vocal jazz group. About 10 to 12 people signed up, and over the years, several members have come

Group members have enjoyed performing a wide variety of music over the years, from a cappella numbers to jazz, blues and
Broadway. “Then there are the Billy Joel tunes we do, And So It Goes and Lullaby that are two of our favourites. And topping the list has to be Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah,” said Hadfield.
The women have also added costuming and choreography to some of their numbers, which Hadfield says, has pushed them to a different level of performing. “The choreography always causes us a lot of grief, but it can also cause great hilarity when we’re practising: half of us going left at the same time half of us are going right.” Currently accompanied by pianist Sandi Simpson, the women will be joined by drummer Gord Baulkam at its farewell concert. Besides some of the numbers already mentioned, the women will perform a medley of songs from Chicago (the musical) as well as ABBA tunes from Mamma Mia. “We have invited all the former members of our group to join us on stage for one of our songs, Sincerely,” said Hadfield. “Also a young Vernon vocalist, Mica Lemiski will perform a few of her songs at the concert, which will be a real treat.” Tickets for Jewels’ Final Cut concert, Friday at 7 p.m., are available from group members, at the Schubert Centre, or call 250-549-4241. Adults are $15, and seniors/students are $10, which includes goodies and refreshments.

t ain’t easy to take on one of the most beloved musicals of all time. First you need a cast of young people, from five years up that can sing, dance and act. Then you have to build yourself a set that can emulate the Austrian alps, a convent complete with an abbey, and a palatial mansion. And then you have to find two leads that are willing to take on iconic roles done previously by two of the best. The Vernon Community Music School’s Lights of Broadway presentation of The Sound of Music met those requirements, and then some. With the score played by the Carriage House Orchestra, led by Neta Petkau, a truly incredible set designed by Dave Brotsky, and costumes that should be hung in a museum, the production had its audience enraptured for three hours in the enchantment that is The Sound of Music.

What a glorious way to end a spectacular season! Already the word is out on next season’s program which opens in October with Beethoven’s fifth symphony –– another favourite. Then there’s jazz, Viennese waltzing, Cape Breton fiddling, music of the mountains and more.

Director pays tribute to late actor JIM ELDERTON Vernon Film Society
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is the most ambitious of Terry Gilliam fantasy films. It follows Doctor Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) the 1,000-year-old leader of a travelling theatre troupe. Having made a deal with the devil, he invites audience members through a magical mirror to explore their imaginations. Outside a London pub a drunkard crashes through the on-stage mirror. His experience culminates in being offered a choice between enlightenment and owning the pub. He chooses the latter, but when he enters, it explodes. Another soul lost to Mr. Nick (Tom Waits). Then Parnassus finds someone hanging beneath a bridge. They rescue Tony, who joins the troupe as a barker. This mysterious outsider was to be played by Heath Ledger. When he died in mid-production, reshooting was not an option. Gilliam’s initial thought was: “The film’s over, it’s as simple as that.”
But according to Plummer, within two days Gilliam was determined to salvage the film. Initially he considered using computer images to allow Ledger’s character to magically transform his appearance. Then he considered another actor. As he explained to Entertainment Weekly: “We made the quantum leap: What if we get three actors to replace him? “Johnny was the first person I called. He said, “Done, I’m there! The same with Jude and Colin.” Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law would all portray the character within the world beyond the mirror. At the same time the plot becomes ever more complex and visually more extravagant. Gilliam described the film’s premise as a “fun and humorous story about the consequences of our personal choices in life,” and explained his goal for the film: “It’s autobiographical. I’m trying to bring a bit of fantasticality to London, an antidote to modern
lives. I loved this idea of an ancient travelling show offering the kind of storytelling and wonder that we used to get, to people who just want shoot-em-up action films.” He based the character of Tony on former British prime minister Tony Blair, who “would say the most insane things and probably he’d believe them himself.” Gilliam said in interviews that the character of Parnassus was meant autobiographically, an aging man with a vivid imagination in a world that won’t listen. Still suffering depression over projects going nowhere, and his constant struggle with the established studio system, Gilliam, with his increasing age, worried that he might not have much time left. His script contained references to sudden, tragic, and premature death, even before the loss of Ledger became a reality. And although events in the film could be mistaken as referring to Ledger’s fate, the script wasn’t changed. Depp’s participation was the hardest
Music worth listening to Continued from page A21 Those playing the nuns managed to get through those wordy songs –– try to say “flibbertigibbet” 10 times fast –– as well as chanting, in Latin no less, with ease. And Lisa Stewart as Mother Abbess performed a spine tingling Climb Every Mountain. Then there was the cast of mini, twinkling and shining stars that emulated the puppets from The Lonely Goatherd –– adorable to say the least. The Rodgers and Hammersteinpenned No Way To Stop It (not heard in the film version) set the political
times of the Second World War, and was performed by Mica Lemiski and Ernst Van Gameren, providing some comic relief as Baroness Schrader and Max Detweiller. The final scene, where the Von Trapps escape the stranglehold of the Nazis, was especially moving. But the tension was soon lifted as a dance version of Andrews singing Do Re Mi was soon cranked and the whole cast came out boogying. Maybe not the most refined way to end such a classic, but, the kids loved it. So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu, and thank you.
to incorporate into the new schedule. He was available for just one day, plus three hours. Each shot was done in a single angle in order to fit into the compressed time schedule. The remaining scenes were filmed in Vancouver. The fantasy scenes were filmed at Bridge Studios in Burnaby, the charity gala occurs at the Orpheum Theatre, and the glass-walled “mall” is the curved entrance foyer of the Vancouver Public Library. Gilliam’s movies are known for his use of wide-angle photography. And for

Snakes seize sixth junior title GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
DAUPHIN, MAN. – Good, better, best. That was the natural progression of the Vernon Vipers' play at the Royal Bank Cup, culminating in an 8-1 drubbing of the host Dauphin Kings in the championship game Sunday afternoon at Credit Union Place. The Vipers are the first team to repeat as national junior A hockey champions since the Vernon Lakers won back-to-back Centennial Cups in 1990 and '91. They are also the all-time leader with six national championships (1990, 1991, 1996, 1999, 2009, 2010). "They should be proud of themselves, and the fans of Vernon should be very proud of these kids because it wasn't easy. They've had a target on their back all year and they just kept getting better and better as the year went on," said Vipers' head coach Mark Ferner, piloting his club to its second title in just three years behind the bench. His players celebrated by dumping the Gatorade jug over Ferner's head. With the Kings having to grind out a win over the physical La Ronge Ice Wolves in the late semifinal Saturday night (Vernon stopped the Brockville Braves 2-0 in the afternoon semi), Ferner suspected there might be an opportunity to take advantage of a tired opponent. "That's why we wanted to push the pace real early and just make sure we get a good jump in this hockey game. And our guys responded," he said. The Vipers took advantage of a lethargic looking Kings squad from the outset, controlling the play and keeping the Dauphin defenders on their heels with a blinding forecheck. Cory Kane, using a defenceman as a screen, pegged Vernon to a 1-0 lead with a quick blast from the top of the faceoff circle at 14:28 of the first period. Rookie Dylan Walchuck's winner at 6:28 of the second period marked the start of a three-goal spree over a 48-second span that the Kings never recovered from. A pair of carbon-copy goals just nine seconds apart by Kellen Jones and Cole Ikkala had the Kings reeling, and the home crowd stunned. Jones, who netted two goals and an assist to earn Vernon's Game MVP, tied Dauphin’s Ryan Dreger for the tournament scoring lead with nine points in six games. He was also named the tournament’s Most Sportsmanlike Player. "It's a great way to end it. I'm sad to be

"We're the best team in Canada right now, so he should be the best goalie. I don't think he gets noticed enough, but he played great."

Bryce Lamb pocketed the Kings' lone goal midway through the second period, but the Vipers fired four unanswered goals to seal the win before 2,260 fans. Said Kings' captain Steven Shamanski: "They're a skilled team and they really put the pressure on us. They buried a couple quick ones on us and we just got behind the
eight-ball and it was tough to come back against a skilled team like that." Pat McGillis, Sahir Gill, Jones and Garrett Noonan, with a rocket from the face-off circle, completed the Vernon assault. Walchuk, Gill and Thompson each contributed two points. Gordon recorded 23 saves for the win, his best when he slid cross-crease to deny Dauphin sniper Shane Luke on an odd-man rush early in the second period. "I can't wait to celebrate with the boys, it's been an unreal two seasons," said Gordon. "I gotta thank Ferns for bringing me here and I gotta thank Duncan (Wray, Vipers' owner) and the staff. Repeat champions, that's the best way to close it out, I don't know what more to say." Joe Caligiuri faced 36 shots, and didn't get a lot of help as his team got caught pinching, repeatedly turned the puck over in the neutral zone, and allowed countless odd-man rushes. Gordon and defenceman Stevie Weinstein didn't see much action during last year's playoff run, so to get a second shot at a title has been extra special for them. Weinstein will be one of three returnees that was on the both championship teams (Bryce Kakoske and Adam Thompson are the other two). "It does feel a lot better. I waited it out last year, did my time. (Last year) was a great feeling, but this is a bit better," said Weinstein, a Los Angeles product. "Being defending champs there was a lot of pressure on us, but to deliver makes it a little bit sweeter this year." The Snakes fell 6-5 in overtime to the ANAVET Cup champion Kings to open the tournament more than a week ago, but their play and their confidence steadily progressed throughout the week. "We got better as the tournament went on," said Ferner. "We didn't start the way we wanted to, but that's fine. We got ourselves in the semifinal game, and that last game against Brockville (Braves) in the roundrobin we were good and we just built on that." The loss was Dauphin's first in 21 home playoff games, just their third all season, and Vipers' captain Kevin Kraus was happy to be the one to deliver it. "We came to this tournament and all we heard was Dauphin wanted a team that would challenge them, and we did that in both games," said the bearded veteran.

The Vernon Vipers (above) celebrate their successful defence of Royal Bank Cup Championship Sunday afternoon at Credit Union Place; Above right: Connor Jones takes a breather after taking a celebration injury.
Connor clutch in RBC return Continued from B1 "We had some rough games in the beginning of the tournament, losing some leads, but we weren't going to let that happen with the championship on the line." Kraus, one of seven Americans on the Viper roster, says Dauphin's decision to take the late semifinal suited the Vipers just fine. "This was our fourth two o'clock game in the tournament, so we definitely had the advantage there. They've been playing at 7 (p.m.), so it changed up their game-plan." Dauphin head coach Marlin Murray accepted responsibility for choosing the late semifinal slot (round-robin winner gets to choose), as it may have been a factor in his team's inability to keep up with the speedy Vipers. "If you need to point fingers, point fingers at me for making that decision. I will take full responsibility for it," said Murray. Murray added Vernon deserves full credit for the win. "You gotta give the Vernon Vipers a ton of credit. They've got a helluva team, coached very well. "It ended up a bit of wash, but earlier on we had chances to score‌ two real good opportunities by Shamanski and Shane Luke that we just didn't bury the puck." Once the initial sting is gone, Murray says his club will have a lot to be proud of. "Overall a real successful season. I'm really proud of the guys, it's been one of my best seasons to be part of a hockey club, playing or coaching." Suiting up for his first game of the tournament, Connor Jones led the Snakes to a 2-0 win over the eastern champion Braves of Ontario in Saturday's semifinal. Seeing an opening up the left wing, the speedy Kootenay product charged up ice and dangled around Brockville defenceman Scott Dawson before feathering a shot through netminder Justin Gilbert's legs midway through the third period. "I thought I lost it and just kind of poked it at the last second. He (Gilbert, 33 saves) played a helluva game, you've got to give him total credit," said Jones,
who set up twin brother Kellen with a cross-ice pass for a post-and-in insurance marker at 15:51. Gordon posted 20 saves to earn the only shutout of the tournament. In the chaos of the gold-medal celebration, Connor took an inadvertent stick to the head while his teammates cleared the players bench, opening up a gash that required stitches from team doctor Gavin Smart. Ferner says the Vipers fully intend to soak up the excitement this week. They were greeted by a few hundred fans when they returned to Wesbild Centre Monday afternoon. The city hosted a public barbecue Tuesday afternoon at city hall, and the Vipers are hosting a meet and greet with fans tonight (6-7 p.m.) in the media room at Wesbild. After that, the club will need to address the possibility of a massive personnel changeover as 13 of the 22-man RBC roster could move on next season. Gordon, Jonathan Milhouse, Robbie Short and Kraus will leave the Viper den, as over-age players. Mike Collins (Merrimack), Curtis Gedig (Ohio State), Sahir Gill (Boston University), Cole Ikkala (Union), the Jones twins (Quinnipiac), Dan Nycholat (Dartmouth), Cory Kane (Ferris State) and Braden Pimm (Northeastern) all have college commitments for the 2010-11 season. Returning players include Kakoske, Walchuk, McGillis, Blake Voth, Noonan, Darrin Robak, Dave Robinson, Weinstein and Thompson. The Snakes have already committed to Vernon's Trevor Fitzgerald and Castlegar's Aaron Hadley for next season. "Unfortunately at this level you do lose players, but for the players moving on it's just a great feeling for them. When they go to school or go play pro hockey this is something nobody can ever take away from them," said Ferner. "We work hard at it (scouting), we really do. I'll go home and have a couple days with my family and then I'm off scouting again. You've got to go out and find these players and we know we're turning our team over pretty good, but we expect to be a good hockey team next year."

Tigers hold off talented Venom Morning Star Staff
Ryan Landels scored twice and set up two others as the Vernon Re/ Max Tigers ambushed the Kamloops Venom 10-6 in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League action Saturday night at Wesbild Centre. The Tigers improved to 3-0-1, while the Venom dropped to 2-1. Vernon hosts the 2-0 Kamloops Rattlers Saturday night, and expect captain Rob Short to be in the lineup after he helped the Vernon Vipers win the Royal Bank Cup. Miles Jespersen and Craig Bigsby each supplied 2+1 for the Tigers, while Braidy Webb also scored twice. Singles came from Nolan Frame and Riley Soleway. Brooks Christiansen counted three assists for the Tigers, while Austin Lewarne had a pair of helpers. Re/Max held period leads of 5-4 and 9-6, getting 36 saves from Josh Phillips. Quinn Smith and Riley Donahue each scored twice for Kamloops, who got singles from Ben Saklofsky, Jamie Forster and Steve Bordon. “It was a really good game,” said Tigers’ co-coach Rich Zecchel.
“They’re a really strong team with two of the top-five Midget players in the junior (A) draft so we had to play at a high level.” Saklofsky and Mike Henry, both high picks in the B.C. Junior League draft, have injected even more offensive power into the Venom attack. “We were solid on offence and we kept our penalties to a minimum,” added Zecchel. “Our D was real good and the offence was really moving the ball around well. Our transition game was working well.” Meanwhile, the Armstrong Shamrocks bowed 10-9 to the host Rutland Raiders Saturday night. Mitch Steele pulled the hat trick for the ‘Rocks, while Stephen Ringdal supplied 2+4 and Jarrett Medhurst added 2+2. Logan Strohm and Mike Belanger contributed singles. Sheldon McDonald provided 3+2 for Rutland, while Dillan MacLennan and Jordan Urban each collected 1+2. The 1-4 Raiders led 5-3 after the first period, while Armstrong pulled in front 9-8 after two periods. The Shamrocks visit the 1-1 Kelowna Warriors Thursday night at Memorial Arena.

The North Okanagan Midget A2 Legends won their home lacrosse tournament, doubling Juan de Fuca 10-5 Sunday at Wesbild Centre. The Legends opened with a 12-4 win over the Burnaby Lakers and then fell behind 5-0 before losing 9-7 to Juan de Fuca. In their third preliminary game, the Legends brushed off the Nanaimo Timbermen 6-5. Nanaimo iced Penticton in the bronze-medal game. In the Midget B side of the tournament, the North Okanagan R-Xtra Storage Centre Legends lost 9-3 to Coquitlam in the bronzemedal game Sunday morning at Civic Arena after going 2-1 in the round-robin. Colton Gaudet (2) and Sean Connors scored for the weary Legends in the bronze-medal game. Jedd Soleway pulled the hat trick as the storage crew beat Ridge Meadows 5-3 in their opener. Tyler Wasmuth and Liam Tarr collected singles. North Okanagan then grounded West Kootenay 10-4 with Dustin Copeland scoring a pair before falling 6-5 to Coquitlam. Justin Hiscoe, Mike Vassberg, Darren McGregor, Connors, Rylan Corliss, Chelsea Weisgerber and Austin Williamson also scored versus West Kootenay. The North Okanagan Lightning Bolts mini tyke lacrosse team started off the season with a split Saturday
at Kelowna Memorial Arena. The Bolts, made up of 5-8-yearolds coached by Ryan Williamson, Kody Nitchie and Mel Frank, have a good mix of beginners and returning players, all with a lot of heart. They stopped the Shuswap 6-4 before falling 6-4 to the Penticton Heat. “The boys played very well and looked great out there,” said Williamson. “We had possession of the ball the majority of the time in both games. We just need to work on putting the ball in the net.” Veteran Tye Krause started off the Lightning scoring versus the Shuswap. Nate Benn also opened the period strong with a shot that went wide off the crossbar. Ethan Vryenhoek-Frank supplied two goals, followed by singles from Lucas Dyck, Michael Preston and Kohl Killingbeck. Twins Miller and Logan Nitchie had many Toronto Rock-like moments, and Brandon Dyck was fantastic in net. The second game of the day saw the Bolts slowly make a comeback with goals from Krause (2) and Michael Preston (2), and great offensive and defensive support from Tyrel Gore, Owen McKill, and Mason Palmer and Wyatt Reschke. Birthday boy Nate Williamson had numerous touches on the ball. The Lightning Bolts play again Saturday at Civic Arena at 10 a.m. versus Kelowna, and 2:30 p.m. against Shuswap.

The Vernon ANAF Diamondbacks are showing no mercy on the Okanagan Major Baseball League expansion Penticton Pirates. The D-backs swept the Pirates for the third straight time Saturday at Marshall Field, winning 5-1 and 13-5. Game 1 was 2-1 Vernon heading to the bottom of the sixth inning when the D-backs took advantage of a couple walks before John McInnis cashed them in with a two-run double. Tyler Amiel then scored McInnis on a single. Kevin Cross threw six dominant innings, striking out 10 batters, while allowing only a single unearned run. Kyle Anderson took the ball in the seventh

Amiel went 2-for-3 with Peter Ortman and TJ Novakowski adding singles. Game 2 was a walk in the park for both teams, as 24 walks were issued, as well as two hit batters. Amiel again led the
ANAF offence, going 2-for-4 and scorng three times. Ortman scored three times and added an RBI, while Bryce Whitehouse cashed in three runs and scored twice. Anderson also scored twice drove in a pair of runs. Josh Wade knocked in a pair with a single,

The Ford Rangers opened the Vernon Pee Wee House Baseball League in style last week, beating the White Sox 13-2 and edging the Reds 7-6 at Creekside Park. Dylan Oberle took to the mound in the season opener pitching his first ever game and holding the White Sox to no runs in the first inning. The Rangers' offence was led by Sydnee Hughes going 2-for-2 with a double. Defensively, Michael Lenoury and Seth Blundell both made solid contributions in support of their pitchers. In game two, the Rangers fell behind 4-0 in the second inning but held tough defensively until their bats came alive. The Reds were led by the solid pitching of Jake Emmons and a monstrous drive by Eddie Goodwater in the second inning. The Rangers were sparked by Jake Holland going 2-for-2 with a game-tying two-out single in the bottom of the fifth off reliever Braden Gilowski and then scoring the winning run off a Jarett Campbell single. Pee Wee house games are played Monday and Wednesday nights (5:45) at Creekside Park.

Sports Camels stop Stars Morning Star Staff
Gord Howard scored once and set up another as the Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels stopped the Silver Stars 3-0 in Capri Insurance Okanagan Oldtimers 45+ Soccer League action Monday night at Marshall Field #1. Howard, who earned Man of the Match for the 5-0 humpbacks, received a giftwrapped pass from Stars' defender Bill Graham and buried it in the third minute of play. A few minutes later, Howard fed fellow striker Al Murphy, who settled the bouncing ball and drilled it top shelf past Ted Lurkins. The Camels, who got a fifth straight shutout from Dave Dutcher, completed the offence midway through the second half when Kevin Mitchell's header off the crossbar was belly bumped in by Rick Raber on the goal line. Lurkins made a spectacular fingertip save on an 18-yard corker by Mitchell, who was fed nicely by Terry Lowe. Dutcher made a handful of tough saves as the Stars fell to 3-1-1. Big Dave Gould was a force on the Stars' back line, earning Man of the Match. In other action, Okanagan Spring Brewery bounced Big O Tire Ogopogos 2-0 at Marshall #4. Matthias Gohl and Mike Lloyd scored for the brewers, who improved to 3-2. Midfielder Tom Ouchi ran miles and was Spring's Man of the Match. Big O's bright light was keeper Yogi Konsdorf, who sprawled, dove and blocked everything that came at him except for two shots later in the second half. Mark Wasylyk had a breakaway, beat the Spring keeper and just put it low past the post, Leo Nadeau shot it very wide on a penalty kick from the 18 when no one was ready, and Rob Ross took a penalty kick from the five-yard line trying to surprise the keeper and it bounced wide. The Ogopogos dipped to 1-3-1. North Country Appraisals Kickers edged Baxter's 1-0 as Matt Cherrille scored on a direct free kick from 20 yards out with two minutes to play. Chris Odermatt of North Country received a red card for violent conduct in the 65th minute. Cantina's Pub shut down Rutland Spirit 4-0 with Steve Hesketh, Joe Jamison, on a penalty kick, and Greg Hofmann, with a pair, handling the offence. In 35+ league action, Vernon Toyota settled for a 2-2 draw with Kelowna Scotiabank at Marshall #3. Mike Sandstra scored the first Toyota goal with a header off an Eric Ladner cross. Lee Christensen went short side after a great run down the left wing for the second goal. Colin McDonnell made several nice saves in the second half. Toyota (3-1-1) pressured for most of the second half but could not beat the 1-3-1 Scotiabank keeper. Lake Country FC brushed back Vernon Bosman Accounting 6-1 at Marshall #4. Robin Ollenberger recorded some great saves for the accountants (1-4), who got their goal in the second half when middle defender Greg Sol fed a superb long pass to the right wing to Erick Burnet. Burnet cut an opponent out and passed the ball to Wes Vanderveen, who took the ball towards the net and found the low left corner. Lake Country is 4-1.

Timberwolves settle for sixth
Morning Star Staff
The Charles Bloom Timberwolves bowed 2-0 to the Fort St. James Falcons in a battle for third and sixth placings at the B.C. Rural High School Invitational Senior Girls Soccer Championships Saturday in Osoyoos. "I think we just ran out of steam," said T-Wolves' coach Keith Altwasser. "We lost two of our girls to prior commitments so we played with 12 girls. “Autumn (Baker) was chosen as a tournament all-star, which was a pleasant surprise. The girls represented Lumby very well and I was proud of their attitude and sportsmanship." Bloom bounced G.W. Dawson Hornets of Haida Gwaii 3-0 in their opener with Tessa Hartnell earning game MVP. "It was really neat as this school was Lola McQueen's former high school," said Altwasser. "Her dad came up from Squamish to watch. Our team sort of adopted this G.W. Dawson team
as they did us. It was neat to support each other." The T-Wolves then lost 2-0 to powerhouse Osooyos Rattlers. It was scoreless at the half but the aggressive Rattlers took over in the second half. Baker was chosen game MVP. The T-Wolves doubled Fraser Lake 4-2 in a shootout in their third game Saturday. Deanna Owen was game all-star for Bloom, who had all their players connect in the shootout. The rural tourney gives public school A teams an opportunity to play in a provincial-type tournament without having to battle the powerhouse private schools from large centres. "Our program has been building well over the past three years thanks to Keith," said Charles Bloom athletic director Nathan Lee.

Senior addictions increasing CARA BRADY
LATIN PARTY!
Morning Star Staff
Addictions in seniors usually start slowly as people deal with losses, changes in health, and memory loss. Loneliness, chronic pain and physical changes can also trigger an addiction. “People may realize what is happening but not be willing to talk about it because of the shame and guilt, so it may take some time to pick up,” said Tracey Labbie, manager of Interior Health mental health and addictions alcohol and drug services, North Okanagan. Men are more likely to become addicted to alcohol while women are more likely to become addicted to prescription or non-prescription drugs. Some seniors have concurrent conditions like depression, sleep disorders and anxiety. “What people may have been able to handle on their own before, they may not be able to handle on their own any more and use drugs or alcohol. Family members may think that since they’re older, it doesn’t matter any more and the seniors might as well have their pleasures but addiction is not good at any age,” said Dr. Elaine French, manager of seniors’ mental health, mental health and addictions, North Okanagan. “In other cases, family members may not even be aware of the addiction or they may try to deal with it on their own by taking away the medications or alcohol and that can be a health risk.” The addiction might become apparent to others as a person starts to fall, has obvious memory problems or malnutrition. Men are more likely to go for professional help for substance abuse but women are more likely to go for help for mental health issues. Sometimes an addiction shows up when a senior is admitted to the hospital for treatment for other health issues. When they go without the substance they have been misusing for several days and are being monitored the addiction becomes evident.

Senior women are more likely to be addicted to prescription drugs, while senior men tend to turn to alcohol. Most people will see their family doctor first and the doctor can call on a team of professionals, including French and Labbie and their staff members. Mental health and addiction clinicians are available to make home visits. “We want to help people deal with all their issues, including social, eating and housing issues,” said Labbie. Some people don’t want to change and that is their choice but the team finds most people who have come as far as to see them want the help to change. “The rapport develops gradually. We ask people what we can do to help them have a better quality of life. And we work with their physicians and in other areas of their lives to help them deal with loneliness and boredom,” said French. The whole family might need education on things like the difference one or two drinks can make, drug and alcohol combinations to avoid and how to properly dispose of outdated medications.
People might not think they are abusing medication if it is something the doctor prescribed and they sometimes share medication which could be dangerous. “We find that a lot of the time, people are just not aware of the risk factors and they slide into trouble. We need to do more addictions training for community agencies and service providers so that addictions can be noticed and people can get help as soon as possible,” said French. The slide is easy, she explained. A person may have been able to drink socially all their lives with no problems. Then they develop medical conditions, can’t do the things they used, have losses in their lives and gradually start drinking more. They may try to stop drinking or misusing drugs on their own and relapse. “It is important that people talk to their doctors about concerns about drinking and drug use. The family doctor is the biggest advocate and the place to start to get help,” said Labbie.
Chronic fatigue syndrome is a lonely disease Morning Star Staff
Like many other people who have the disease, Perry Doner wishes there was no need to mark Chronic Fatigue Awareness Day. “Because it’s something you can’t see, we don’t get a lot of understanding and it’s difficult to get a diagnosis and that’s very frustrating. I tell people to imagine the worst flu they ever had made 10 times worse and not ending and that’s something like chronic fatigue syndrome,” said Doner, the local support person for the Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Society of B.C. “It’s a lonely disease because it’s hard to keep relationships going and it was not taken very seriously at first so there was little research done. It is not
…the Quaintest Accessories around! 3025 29th Avenue, Vernon • 250-503-8539 vintagechicantiques@hotmail.com
yuppie flu or hypochondriac housewife syndrome. I wish they would change the name although it does describe how we feel.” In many countries chronic fatigue syndrome is called myalgic encephalomyelitis or ME (meaning pain associated with the brain and inflammation of the spinal cord). “It’s not a mental health condition, it’s neurological and physical. Every system in the body is stressed and a person is completely exhausted all the time,” said Doner. “I compare it to a dead car battery which can be ‘charged’ by sleep and be OK for a little while but as soon as you turn the headlights on, have any kind of stress, everything dies. It can take weeks to get over things.
The more you care, the sicker you get. You can’t get emotional about anything. Suicide is the number one cause of death for people with chronic fatigue syndrome, it’s eight times the national average.” Chronic fatigue syndrome is now thought to be caused by a retrovirus called XMRV (Scientific American Oct. 2009) which can be turned ‘on’ quickly or gradually by hormones affected by stress, infections or interleuken cytokines (brain/ body messengers) which do not respond properly. The body overreacts to stress and does not return to balance in the way that it should. Research is being done on how the retrovirus invades the cells and changes the DNA to replicate dysfunctional cells.
Since the XMRV retrovirus may also be implicated in prostate cancer, Doner is hopeful that more research will be done. The XMRV retrovirus was discovered at the Whittemore Peterson Institute associated with the University of Nevada. The institute was built by a couple whose daughter has had chronic fatigue syndrome for more than 20 years. “My hope, and I guess, that of a lot of people, is to hang on until there is more research and a treatment and/or cure discovered,” he said. “I don’t want to talk about myself but I lost everything to this illness, home, career, family. The need for understanding and awareness and more research is so great.” For more information, contact Doner at doner@telus.net.

Make mom breakfast every day
M
other’s Day found me in Calgary where we enjoyed a delicious brunch at my sonin-law’s sisters home. The men of the family prepared an wonderful smorgasborg of mouth watering foods for us moms. There were eggs benedict, done to perfection, amazing baked blueberry French toast made with cream cheese and maple syrup, waffles with chopped fresh strawberries and pineapple topping, plates of bacon, ham, and hash browns made from roasted baby potatoes, as well there were juices, trays of fresh fruit, English muffins, toast, coffee, and tea. What to do with so much choice? Try it all I say! It was much more enjoyable than sitting in a crowded restaurant and paying a typically over-inflated price for a Mother’s Day smorg. So, to all you dads, grandpas, boyfriends, men in general out there, it’s never too late to try making breakfast for that special lady in your life, and today’s recipes can be mastered by any guy willing to give it a shot. Enjoy!
Makes 2 breakfast, brunch or luncheon servings. Hollandaise Sauce
KITCHEN WIT & WISDOM Cathi Litzenberger
Eggs Benedict 4 slices cooked ham, or Canadian bacon 2 English muffins 4 poached eggs Hollandaise sauce Brown ham slices or Canadian bacon in skillet over medium heat. Split English muffins in half. Toast and butter lightly. Arrange ham on top of muffins. Top each with a poached egg. Poach eggs: To poach eggs, bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Turn the heat to low, gently add the eggs one by one, ensuring the yolks do not break. Let water gently heat the eggs to desired doneness (or poach in individual cups). Gently lift each egg out of the water with a slotted spoon and place on an English muffin half. Cover it all with hollandaise sauce. Serve immediately.
2 egg yolks 4 - 8 tablespoons butter, cut or broken into small pieces pinch cayenne pepper salt and pepper 1 - 2 tablespoons lemon juice Put egg yolks in a metal bowl. Sit the bowl over a saucepan filled with cold water. Heat the water, beating the egg yolks constantly with a wire whisk. The water in the pan should not boil and the bowl should stay cool enough to hold with your hand. Continue beating the yolks constantly until they thicken. The yolks have thickened enough when you begin to see the bottom of the bowl between strokes and the mixture forms a light cream on the wires of the whisk. Immediately remove the bowl from over the water. Add the butter, in very small pieces, whisking in each pat and allowing it to melt before adding the next. When you are finished,
the mixture should be very smooth and light. Pass the sauce through a fine sieve and stir in the seasonings and lemon juice. If the sauce is too thick, thin it a bit with cold water. Keep in a warm place. Baked Blueberry French Toast 12 slices Italian bread, 8 ounces soft cream cheese 3/4 cup blueberries (add more if you like) 6 eggs 1 cup milk 1/4 cup maple syrup Sauce: 3/4 cup white sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch 3/4 cup water 1 cup blueberries 1 tablespoon butter Place half of the bread slices in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Spread cream cheese on top of each bread slice. Top with 3/4 cup blueberries, (more if you wish), then remaining bread slices. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, and maple syrup. Pour egg mixture over bread. Cover pan and refrigerate overnight. The next

Just days before the first anniversary of her death, the sounds of the keys she loved so much filled the theatre at Okanagan College. Jack Ross, husband of recently deceased Norma, donated his wife’s most prized possession, her Kimball piano, to the college’s Kalamalaka campus. The sounds of Bach rang out as local 16-year-old pianist Jillian Wong played the inaugural performance May 6. Norma was born in Vernon in 1919, and Ross decided to make her piano’s new home in her beloved hometown. “My wife was a wonderful player,” said Ross. “I was never as good as she was.” John Lent, regional dean for the North Okanagan, thanked Ross for his very special gift and assured him that “(they) will cherish this piano always.” The Kimball has been with the Ross family “since the days of antiquity,” said Ross, and according to Lent it is valued at about $20,000.
morning, remove pan from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.) Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Uncover pan and bake for an additional 30 minutes, until golden brown and center is set. To make sauce: In a saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch, add water. Boil over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in blueberries and reduce heat. Simmer 8 to 10 minutes, or until the berries have burst. Stir in butter until melted. Serve the sauce over individual servings of french toast. Make 6 individual servings.

Growing your garden oasis Editor’s note: Filling in for Fred Lyall this week is Tannis Nelson, community development co-ordinator for the Regional District of North Okanagan and member of the Communities in Bloom Committee. eople have long sought after the title of Most Beautiful Garden. Queen Hatshepsut of ancient Egypt ordered the first plant hunting expedition recorded in history around 1500 BCE, dispatching five ships to gather valuable flora from overseas and successfully transplanting live frankincense and myrrh trees. Hatshepsut’s successful trade mission allowed her to showcase unique plants in the colonnaded terraces of the temple that she had commissioned by her early-day “landscape architect.” Nowadays we don’t have to set out to sea in order to create our own garden oasis, we just have to visit one of our local nurseries or plantlands and we can select whatever native or exotic plants needed to make our garden the envy of our neighbours. With the luxury of pre-formed landscape bricks we can spend the afternoon being our own landscape architects and turn our outdoor space into our personal terraced temple…

IN THE GARDEN
Fred Lyall
and what is a temple if it is not revered by others? Vernon Communities in Bloom summons all Greater Vernon residents to flaunt the splendors of their gardens in the Greater Vernon Landscape and Garden contest. This is your opportunity to display your flair for flora, your inventive irrigation and your zeal for xeriscaping. Whether your garden sanctuary meanders for miles or blankets your balcony, there is a category for you. Judging of the gardens will be based on four values: Overall Design, Use of Plants, Water Wise, and Maintenance and Condition. Overall Design is where your artistic style will be scored, with points given for plant variety, creative mixture of colour and texture, year-round appeal, and pleasing use of space and hardscape. It isn’t necessary to create a terraced temple adorned with rare flowers to score well in this category: selecting plants that
bloom at different times will help ensure your garden has yearround appeal; picking broad-leaf plants will give weight to a garden border; and planting native grasses will add texture and movement to the presentation. Plant placement and site selection will be evaluated when assigning points for Use of Plants. A little knowledge will go a long way in this area; for example if you are planting a hillside, select a plant that prefers well-drained soil. Become familiar with the shading of your garden and make appropriate plant selections based on the sun exposure. Keep in mind that planting perennials on the south side of your house or shed, which may stay a few degrees warmer than most other places in your yard, may allow you to successfully grow perennials that are meant for warmer areas…you now have the rare flower advantage! Native plants will also be a valuable addition to your garden and a way to collect points in the contest. Selecting plants that are water efficient, particularly for areas that are not accessible to efficient irrigation systems, will win you Water Wise points. You don’t have to be using the Archimedes
Screw to get water into your hanging baskets, even a great drip irrigation system and mulching will get you points in this section. Your extensive native grass collection could become an asset rather than an annoyance! Finally the contest recognizes a neat and tidy garden with Maintenance and Condition points. So go out and prune your prize rosebush and deadhead your daisies and then send in three photos with your entry form to cibvernon@ gmail.com or drop them off at Vernon City Hall. Don’t pass up the opportunity to hold the title of Most Beautiful Garden! Winners will be recognized at a special award ceremony during the Communities in Bloom Judges visit on July 20. The Greater Vernon Garden Contest entry form is available at sponsor locations, including Swan Lake Nursery and Art Knapp Plantland, as well as online at www. vernon.ca/cib.

n Dec. 4 2008, Baylee Cooney was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. Baylee went from a normal five-year-old child, whose only worry was getting her homework done in time to watch her favourite TV show, to a child who had to check her blood glucose a minimum of six times a day, eating meals like clockwork, sitting out of fun activities because blood sugar levels were too low, getting four-plus insulin needle injections every day and the list goes on. Diabetes is a life threatening disease without proper medicine and education. Researchers are so close to finding the cure for diabetes, which would mean Baylee and many others like her could go back to being kids without having the big weight of responsibility on their shoulders. May 16 is a family fun day in Vernon to raise money for the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). Families will get together for an afternoon of fun and support a great cause. Come down to Polson Park from 1 till 4 p.m. to support a great cause.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Uncluttered horizons enhance your ability to plan and succeed, so don’t put any limitations on your thinking today. Instead, attempt to envision everything in the broadest perspective.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 19) When it comes to commercial involvements today, don’t jump at the first offer you get, even if it sounds a bit enticing. Generally, you’ll first get a high bid merely to see where you stand.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Unless you have good reason for doing so, don’t allow others to become directly involved in your business matters. Attempt to conduct your affairs with as little fanfare and publicity as possible today.
PISCES (FEB. 20-MARCH 20) Because conditions are likely to be so vastly improved from yesterday, several opportunities may present themselves today in those very areas that once looked so dismal.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) If you should happen to stumble upon a windfall, alert your good buddies so that they can share in your find as well. Call first those who were there for you when you needed them. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) A major objective or ambition can be realized during this cycle, but you might need some quality allies to open a few doors for you. Cultivate relationships now while you’re trying to make these breakthroughs. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) You are likely to be luckier than usual in enterprises or arrangements that you originate or personally manage. Be a self-starter and make something big happen today. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23) There’s a good chance that you’ll be pretty sharp at buying, selling, bargaining or being the middleman for two persons trying to make a deal. Use this talent in a variety of ways. SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 22) Something mutually constructive can result from an agreement that you are trying to negotiate today, so do your best to pull it off. Simply make sure the details are acceptable to both parties.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Be singular in your focus, whether your concern is concentrated on prestige, career or financing. Whichever one you select must be foremost in your mind if you’re going to score in any of these areas. YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY Conditions in general look very promising for you in the year ahead, especially where your material interests are concerned. Your earning potential looks good, but you could even be lucky in making several smart investments.

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.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23-DEC. 21) Something in which you’ve been involved for some time can generate much better returns than you’re presently receiving. Study matters carefully with an eye toward improvement. CAPRICORN DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Don’t be shy about protecting your self-interests in an involvement of importance today. Humility has its place, but there are times when it can be counterproductive.

MacLeod Consulting
Bridge by Phillip Alder We are looking at “eight ever,” when you, as delarer, are playing a suit with a combined eight cards including the ace, king and jack. Yes, you plan to take a finesse against the queen, but what you do before that depends on the rest of your exact holding in the suit. In today’s deal, how would you plan the play in three no-trump after West leads the spade king? This auction is the most common in bridge. However, assuming South deals and everyone may bid, how many possible auctions are there? You start with seven top tricks: one spade, four diamonds and two clubs. If only they had led a different suit, you could have dislodged the heart ace. But
here the defenders would surely cash too many spade tricks. Instead, you must take four club tricks. How would you try to do that? You should assume that West has the queen. Then, it might look as though the standard play (cash the king and finesse dummy’s jack) is the right approach. However, it is not, because of your nine. Start with a low club from your hand. If West plays low, call for dummy’s jack and get home if West has queen-doubleton or queentripleton. Not starting with the king pays dividends when West has queensingleton. Then you capture his queen with dummy’s ace and cash the jack (just to check he isn’t being clever with the doubleton
Q-10). When West discards, you lead low to your nine, picking up East’s 10-fourth. The total of possible auctions is a 48-digit number. If a foursome did one every minute, it would take several times the life span of the Earth to bid them all.

Olympic hosting costs province $2.7 million BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press
VICTORIA – The B.C. government spent $2.7 million to host people at the 2010 Olympics, including $970,000 for tickets given out to MLAs, business executives, visiting politicians and other selected guests. The rest of the money went towards renting reception facilities such as the posh Terminal City Club, and catering for events that showcased regional foods and wines, and industries such as digital media. Special guests at sporting events and receptions included the governor of Montana, the Dutch prime minister, B.C. billionaire Jim Pattison and British tycoon Richard Branson. Economic Development Minister Iain Black released a report on the hosting program Thursday, describing it as a big success that will pay benefits for years to come. The government has commissioned five annual reports from accounting firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers to measure the post-Olympic investment benefits, and the first of those has identified $884 million in economic activity and
21,000 jobs from staging the games. Another report from the Conference Board of Canada estimates $770 million in benefits this year alone, he said. The government forecasts economic benefits to reach $10 billion in the coming years. “If you look at Australia as an example, they continue to push their business hosting program that started in their case almost 10 years ago, and their announcements and their relationships continue to grow as a result of that,” Black said, referring to the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney. The 200-page report, posted on the ministry’s website, lists all ticketed events attended by government MLAs. NDP Olympic critic Kathy Corrigan said the government produced the report because of opposition demands to account for taxpayers’ money. Corrigan and NDP leader Carole James attended the closing ceremonies, but opposition MLAs refused taxpayerfunded tickets to all events. “We were in the nosebleed seats,” Corrigan said. “We paid for the tickets ourselves.”

Protecting kids through connectedness DOUG ROGERS For The Morning Star
Young people need to feel connected to others in their social situation in order to have success in school and life. Research shows that kids who feel connected to family and school have better personal health, decreased substance abuse and improved mental wellness. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently released a report on school connectedness. Connectedness is defined as the belief by students that adults and peers in school care about their learning as well as about them as individuals (CDC, 2009). The CDC states that school connectedness was second in importance, after family connectedness, as a protective factor against emotional distress, disordered eating, and suicidal ideation and attempts. Contributing to increased school connectedness includes adult support, belonging to a positive peer group, commitment to education, and school environment. As parents we need to help protect our kids through positive interactions. There is no single strategy that will create a greater sense of connectedness. Instead, parents and schools need to implement a variety of approaches so that students feel valued, included, respected, cared about and have someone to turn to in times of need. Current evidence suggests that to improve school connectedness, schools and parents should (www.heretohelp, 2009): n Set high expectations for school performance and provide academic support to all students n Encourage families to also have
high expectations for achievement and graduation n Have fair rules,
which students have agreed to, for discipline n Establish trusting
relationships among students, teachers and families n Help students feel
It’s simple
close to at least one adult at school Finally, by increasing school and family
connectedness, we can help our young adults have more success in life and school.

Engblom Doris Johanna Doris was born August 7, 1927 in Pendryl, Alberta. She grew up on the family farm, the fourth in a family of nine. Like so many of her generation, her schooling was in a one-room country school. In the winter she and her siblings went to school in a one-horse cutter. From her late teens, Doris lived in many places. In her early years she lived in Vancouver, Victoria, northern BC, northern Alberta, and several places in Quebec. Around 1973, she returned to Vancouver where she lived until 2007, when she moved to Vernon with her sister Ruth. Doris spent the last two years of her life at Gateby Care Centre where she received loving and affectionate care, for which the family is very grateful. Though she learned good principles from her father and mother, she did not have any formal religious instruction during her childhood. In the early 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s she learned of the Bibleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teachings regarding Jehovah and Jesus. She learned where the earth and mankind fit into their arrangement and purpose. She acted upon those teachings and was baptized as one of Jehovahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Witnesses in 1954. Doris was faithful to her dedication to Jehovah, though her deteriorating health prevented her from being active the last few years. She died April 30, 2010 and now sleeps in death until the resurrection. Doris is survived by her brothers Vern and Ken Engblom in Vancouver, sisters Ruth McNeill and Helen Cuthbert in Vernon, sister Mary Peterson in Edmonton and sister Ivy Seely in Alder Flats, AB. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins, great nieces and nephews, great-great nieces and nephews, and many friends. She was pre-deceased by her parents, brother Walter and sister Elsie, and four nephews.
