Officers investigate drowning ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
RCMP are investigating the North Okanagan’s first boating fatality of 2010. Police were called Thursday at 7:30 p.m. to a report of a body floating in Kalamalka Lake, off Kekuli Bay Provincial Park. “A local resident and his family were out boating and noticed an empty boat,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. The body was discovered near the boat, and it has been determined that the man was not in a life jacket, but that the jacket was found in close proximity to the victim. “Investigators are not sure if the victim might have had it on, but not fastened properly, or he was able to grab it and not get it on,” said Molendyk. Police called Search and Rescue to assist in a search of the area to determine if the man was alone. The boat was recovered and returned to

he was alone on the water at the time.” The victim, Gary Rolf Roos, 47, is from Lake Country. The police and the coroners service are continuing their investigation.
“We are asking everyone to be careful on the water as we head into the long weekend and a start to another busy boating season on Okanagan lakes and rivers,” said Molendyk.

Macnabb disagrees. “An abundance of caution as we go into the year is the best approach,� he said. Not only are reservoir levels on the Duteau Creek system low, snowpack stations on the Aberdeen Plateau are bare. There is about a foot of snow in areas not measured, but that is also declining. Macnabb says domestic needs for the rest of 2010 and into 2011 are a priority. “Unless we have a Noah’s Ark situation, we could be going into next year in a (water) deficit,� he said. On May 5, the North Okanagan Regional District board deferred enforcement of stage three restrictions for two weeks pending further evaluation of water quantity in the area. That has allowed residents to fill pools and landscape. GVAC directors and staff will hold a drought management workshop today and then the future of the stage three restrictions will go before NORD members May 19.
Greater Vernon sports groups are going to be forking over more cash. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee gave the nod Thursday to parks and recreation fees for 2010/11. There will be a four per cent overall hike to cover operational costs, but that could climb to a total of 10 to 11 per cent with the harmonized sales tax. “This year will be a hard year for all of our user groups,� said Jim Bailey, facilities manager. In the case of ice rentals, minor sports will face a 10.9 per cent hike or an extra $8.82 an hour (total $89.40), while at Wesbild Centre, minor and recreational hockey will face a 10.9 per cent increase or an additional $22.80 an hour for ice ($231.37). The Kokanee Swim Club’s hourly rate for training will jump by $4.23 (total $43.05) and by $12.74 an hour for meets ($129.20). Adult soccer clubs will hand out an extra $28.07 a day for fields (total $284.84), while it will be an additional $14.04 a day for youth soccer ($142.44). Fees will also increase for public skating and swimming. Director Patrick Nicol is upset with the impact the HST will have on sports activities. “That’s going to pay for some income tax agent in Ottawa,� he said. Nicol suggested that GVAC not increase its fees by four per cent as a way of lessening the pressure of the HST on groups and families. He also said that higher fees could lead to fewer bookings which takes away from GVAC’s budget. However, the rest of the committee disagreed. “We subsidize hockey by 50 per cent already so it’s still a good deal,� said director Mike Macnabb. “We can’t continue to give more breaks.� Director Jim Garlick added that parents can claim sports fees for children when doing their income taxes. The 2010/11 fee schedule must now go before the North Okanagan Regional District board for consideration.

Evacuation exercise prepares agencies ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
In case of wildifre, the emergency management branch of Vernon Fire Rescue Services wants to be prepared. The branch is teaming up with a handful of agencies, including the RCMP, Saturday, to conduct an interagency water evacuation exercise. The event will run off the waters at Canadian Lakeview Estates on Okanagan Lake. “Residents will appear to be trapped on the waterfront due to an interface fire,” explained Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk, who is also a communications officer with the emergency operations centre when it is established for such a case. “We have several locations along the lakes that this could happen, so we need to practise this exercise. We practise it but hope we never need to use it.” Agencies involved in the exercise include Vernon Search and Rescue, Transport Canada, the Canadian Coast Guard auxiliary, Ministry of Environment, conservation officers, fire department, Vernon Yacht Club, Ministry of Forests, B.C. Parks and

“We have several locations along the lake that this could happen.” — Gord Molendyk North Okanagan Emergency Social Services. Residents of Canadian Lakeview Estates have been alerted to the exercise, which runs from approximately 9 a.m. to noon, and officials are asking boaters to help keep the area clear. “We are asking other boaters that day on the lke to stay at least 500 metres away from the boats and watercraft participating in this exercise,” said Molendyk. “And to clear the area in the vicinity of the Canadian Lakeview Estates dock, because that’s where we’re coming in from.” A similar exercise on Kal Lake will be held Saturday, May 29, and will include officials from the North Okanagan Regional District, District of Coldstream and the Lake Country Fire Department.

Kalavista area satisfactory: survey BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
The results are in from a survey distributed in Coldstream’s Kalavista neighbourhood and the residents’ responses will help inform future decisions in the area. Respondents were asked to rate their general level of satisfaction with the neighbourhood and were asked for responses to several different scenarios.

Residents appear satisfied with development plans for property in one Vernon neighbourhood. There was no opposition to redesignating land on Tronson Road from hillside residential apartment to residential low density during a public hearing at city hall Monday. “I want to thank council and the city for
listening to the concerns of the community,” said resident Catherine Cookson. There had been concerns that the proposed Bella Vista neighbourhood plan would allow for up to 123 apartment units on three acres of the 22.5-acre site (most of it is fairly steep). Among the issues for residents were traffic and such a development possibly not
fitting into the neighbourhood. Isabel Furtado, Lakeview Estates C o m m u n i t y Association president, told council that highdensity apartments in the Bella Vista area would never have the services, such as transit, that such a project requires. As a result of public input, city staff has recommended that the

Council has not decided yet if the landuse designation for that specific property will be included in the Bella Vista neighbourhood plan.

Agencies’ services in demand RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The numbers speak for themselves. Social agencies that provide services to the disadvantaged and those in need have seen demand climb during the recession “Homelessness is still a huge issue,” said Chuck Harper, Upper Room Mission executive director, during a presentation to Vernon city council Monday. The Gateway Shelter housed 395 men and 170 women last year, and 280 were turned away primarily because beds were full. The John Howard Society’s men’s shelter took in 320 men Chuck Harper in 2009, and 86 were turned away. Last month, 10 homeless camps were found in Vernon, but only four were occupied. There were 28 in June 2009. Harper told council that sleeping on the street or in camps can lead to health and safety issues. “No house also means no job. Who will hire me if I have no address on a resume?” said Harper. In terms of food, the Upper Room Mission serves 225 meals on average every day, while the Salvation Army food bank has seen use increase 30 per cent. “There’s a visible increase in the last six months of single parents, the working poor and seniors,”
said Kelly Fehr, Gateway Shelter manager. Agencies focused on health are also struggling with higher demand. The Street Outreach Program provided health services to 816 people last year, while the Primary Care Clinic saw 1,659 patients, with a total of 5,598 visits. A focus has also been placed on trying to find employment for those in need so they can improve their lives. The John Howard Society’s WorkFirst employment program assisted 268 clients in 2009. Of those, 75 gained significant employment. Thirty clients graduated from the Upper Room Mission’s computer basics course last year. Coun. Buffy Baumbrough believes Monday’s presentation was critical so council has a full understanding of the challenges facing many residents. “It’s distressing to hear about the number of people going to the Upper Room Mission for meals increasing,” she said. “But the Partners In Action committee has done a tremendous job bringing organizations together.” The city funds the Social Planning Council, which co-ordinates Partners In Action, and Baumbrough believes that helps create partnerships between various agencies and optimizes senior government grants. “We’re closer than we’ve ever been to meeting needs in the community,” she said.
Bogus bills show up in Armstrong ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
RCMP are investigating the appearance of a couple of counterfeit bills in the North Okanagan. The discovery of two phoney $100 bills were made by an Armstrong business, and it’s believed the bogus bills were passed in a five-day period. “The store didn’t notice the counterfeit bills until they were doing deposits,” said RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. According to the business, the bills were very well done but were a slight different shade, and the numbers and emblem on the silver strip were darker than a real $100 bill.
A number of businesses have installed bill scanners at their till to check for any counterfeit money, but there are other options to use.
Legitimate Canadian bills will have markings for the blind on each corner of the bill. Hold the bill up to a light and you should see the
ghost image of the Prime Minister accompanying the bill. As well, the numbers on the bill are raised, which you can tell when feeling the bill.

Down the garden path
G
ardens have always grown in my world. From the crayon flowers that blossomed during a long Alberta winter to the magic of real wild roses, cosmos, pansies and sunflowers in the yard, the life of plants was fascinating. The vegetables in neat rows in the family food garden were far less interesting — all they meant was time spent weeding that could have better been spent playing. No looking ahead to winter again when the family would eat the vegetables Cara Brady and berries my mother worked so hard to prepare and can in the scary pressure cooker. Plants were the family income then as my father followed the age-old cycle of sowing and reaping grain, watching the sky for rain at the right time and hoping for no early frosts or snow. There has been only one year in my life when I did not have my own garden or help someone else with a garden and that was the year I lived on a houseboat and even then I had some things growing in pots. The process of growing things is as least as interesting and rewarding as having children or pets — plants change and develop according to the environment we provide for them and how we nourish them. Plants reward us with food, beauty, shade and if things don’t work out, we can always try again next year, transplant them, cut them down, give them away, or at least use them for compost. Some of my happy, plant-based memories over the years are — the enchanting gladioli grown from tiny, unpromising corms when I was a child, collecting wild strawberries and raspberries, pussy willows in the spring cold, carving a pumpkin I had grown myself, seeing apple trees in bloom for the first time in the Okanagan, having a gardenia for graduation, seeing chocolate, coffee and banana plants growing wild, the ferns

on Vancouver Island, growing the cucumbers that I made into my first pickles, seeing my daughter enjoy playing in the tall corn stalks, the first little bouquet of dandelions she brought me, realizing that silver lace (mile-a-minute vine) really does grow a mile a minute and takes over, growing exotic-looking tree peonies and finding surprise plants that have self-sown. Some people don’t like plants and that is OK, they are fine people and do many good things. Some people like plants and can’t have them and for them, the community is lucky to have community gardens and friends and neighbours who will share garden space. It’s hard to imagine not having a space to garden in and it’s good to know that there are options. This valley gives back to us abundantly in private gardens and through the wonderful market gardens and farms which feed us. People make sure as little as possible goes to waste. There are organizations which collect excess produce for use locally and to dry and distribute internationally in areas of need. We will have to treat our earth well this year, making sure the available water goes where it is most needed. Take time to look around at the attractive landscaping using native and droughttolerant plants (yes, some of this look is not very nice but it can be) which require little water. I have been working on using less water for years and have come up with a style which has the few plants that need more water in a small area near where I sit outside and I hand water these. The rest of the yard has more durable plants which are more or less on their own and for the most part are thriving. Last year, I started using the bath water for outside watering, messy as it is. For me, watching things grow will always be one of life’s pleasures. I’m grateful to all the fellow gardeners who have shared plants, advice and inspiration along the way. Gardening fantasies not yet realized — lots of roses, abundant morning glories, blue hydrangeas, a decorative herb garden and an orchid inside for winter. Maybe next year. For gardeners, there is always next year.
It’s some long overdue good news for the forest industry. Due to strong lumber prices, effective June 1, B.C.’s softwood lumber producers will no longer pay any tax on their shipments to the U.S. Under the 2006 Softwood Lumber Agreement, companies exporting softwood lumber to the United States are required to pay an export tax on their shipments. The formula for determining the tax is based on the average price over a four-week period 21 days before the start of the month. The higher the average lumber price is, the lower the export tax. In this case, since the fourweek average lumber price, as given by the Random Lengths Framing Composite Price Index, is now $US361 per thousand board feet, the export tax rate that will be in effect June 1, will be zero. If lumber prices decrease again, the export tax will be re-applied. In May, the export tax had dropped to 10 per cent based on the strength of lumber prices in March and early April, which was the first time that the export tax dropped since the Softwood Lumber Agreement came into effect in October 2006. The export tax is collected at the border by the Canada Revenue Agency and then the tax paid by B.C. producers is re-directed to the provincial government. Forest Minister Pat Bell says the cash windfall for lumber producers will mean they can re-invest in their mills. That would certainly be more good news for the Interior. ---Prince George Free Press

Think outside the box
I
find it interesting that our water utility sees only the behaviour of us, the consumers of water in Greater Vernon, as the solution to the current water shortage problem. The assumption I guess is that we will waste water needlessly unless we are charged more for it or severely restricted in its use. I for one, do not believe that we are a community of water wasters. Most people will do their part to conserve water where they can, without the threats and extra costs we are now dealing with. We know there is a shortage and most of us will help mitigate the problem if we were seen as part of the solution rather than "the" problem. Should there be water restrictions? Absolutely. There have been restrictions for years in this province but we must realize that all of us use water and the combination of behaviours and technology can effectively and permanently reduce our IN RESPONSE I would like to take the opportunity to comment on Mr. Pearson letter regarding 'Tourists not welcome in the Okanagan.' I would like to first start by commending the District of Coldstream in their efforts to control boat and boat trailer traffic on Kal Lake and the roads in that area. I would also like to give my support to the councillor for the suggestion to remove boats entirely from Kal Lake. I have lived in Vernon my whole life and as a major outdoor enthusiast and player in the development of tourism-related facilities and activities in the Vernon area I have watched the boat traffic on that lake get completely out of hand over the past few years. I have watched the beautiful beach at Cosens Bay become a popular place for the pick up and drop off for water skiers and wake boarders, whereas it used to be a nice place for a hike/bike and a swim, it now can actually be dangerous at certain times to even go in the water. My intent is not to criticize all boaters as I know that there are many who do it very responsibly, however there are just too many

daily consumption. There are many behaviour-related activities we all can do. We are apparently going to get advice through the city website and local media - this is a good thing. There are many sources of "water sense" available already (the US EPA is an excellent source of information).
of them out there now, the lake at times is not a place of peace and serenity but one of chaos and noise. There was also comments in regards to pollution and studies that have been completed that suggest no proven research on pollution from boats. I am not a water specialist nor a scientist but spend countless hours all summer, spring and fall on that lake and I will tell you that the gasoline and oil that sits on the surface of the water and the amount of beer cans, bottles, chip bags and loads of other litter floating on the lake and on the shores is appalling. I can also tell you that this litter is not from the hikers that go to Rattlesnake Point and Cosens Bay but by the boaters, not to mention the noise pollution caused by so many on the water at the same time. We as locals must stand up to protect our beautiful lakes, mountains and streams after all is this not why we moved here in the first place? I am all about tourism and helping the economy of the Okanagan Valley and showcasing what we
There is another more sustainable way we can reduce our water usage, which is to take advantage of water-saving technology, and here is where I believe our civic leaders are letting us down. Many North American jurisdictions offer incentives for people to convert to
have so special here in our backyard but at what cost? If less pollution and boat traffic on our lakes means a few less tourists then that is the price we pay to keep our back yard clean. Seriously......more boat launches and trailer parking? Rick Harman BE CREATIVE I would like to commend Jade Freeman for her dedication to, and ideas for watering the trees. I went one step further and hooked up a sump pump in my laundry tub to water my lawn. Everyone can do more to save water, don't flush the toilet every time you put a tissue in and stop taking showers everyday. There are few people in our society that need to shower everyday unless you are a doctor or going to see one, and some blue collar workers. If you must take a shower to wake up in the morning, step into that first 15 seconds of cold water coming out. Furthermore, with all the scented products out there no-one is going to offend anyone if they haven't showered. Barb Johnston
newer fixtures and appliances such as low flush toilets, highly efficient washers and dishwashers, irrigation systems, low-flow shower heads and the list goes on. A low flush toilet uses six litres of water per flush compared to 13 litres used by older models. Just think how much water we would save in one year if only 20 per cent switched? A family of four can save about 20,000 gallons of water in one year just by switching to low-flow toilets. So, here is a challenge to our civic managers and political leaders; find a way to offer rebates or some sort of monitory incentive for people to improve their use of existing water saving technology. Admittedly this will involve more effort than simply raising rates and moving up the string of restriction stages but that's what real leaders do - think outside the box for a change. Anthony Monk
dizzying intellectual feats, I will accept the HST calmly — on the grounds that services must be paid for somehow. William Harrison
A HISTORY LESSON (Re: Water Restrictions in the North Okanagan) Does anyone remember the summers of the 1950’s? The greens at the only golf club in Vernon were made of oiled sand. There were no backyard swimming pools. Most houses lacked showers. Yes, the days were hot, but if you wanted to cool off you rode your bike to the lake where the water was pristine. Few power boats were on Kal Lake in those days. There were water restrictions, too, but we managed. We never thought we were deprived. How we loved summers in the 1950s. Loretta Thom

CONTRADICTIONS I must be a very unsatisfactory citizen.

Doing both of these while insisting upon more beds for our hospital simply looks like piling on another layer of absurdity. Instead of attempting these

A multi-family development has got the nod despite concerns from a prominent neighbour. Vernon council has granted a development variance permit to Cardan Enterprises so it can construct an eight-unit apartment on 41st Avenue. But the prospect of more vehicles in the area could possibly put the squeeze on W.L. Seaton Secondary School. “We see this as an additional affect on congestion and safety,” principal Michael Mary-Jo O’Keefe Bell told council Monday. “This (41st Avenue) is the area where buses drop off students every day. We have on average 10 to 15 buses every day.” Beyond buses, there are about 70 to 80 students with vehicles and that could climb if budget cuts impact busing in the future. “We’re anticipating many students to be driving or being driven because we’re a dual track school (French immersion),” said Bell. There are also vehicles associated with teachers and parents, and traffic continues with after-school activities.
But the developer believes his project will be an asset to the community because it will provide affordable housing. “Our idea isn’t to create a parking problem,” said Don Dudgeon, Cardan Enterprises owner. Under the development variance permit, the minimum number of parking stalls will be reduced from 12 to nine. “This (housing) will be achievable for certain families and some of them won’t have cars,” said Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe. Coun. Jack Gilroy suggested that anyone looking for parking in the area could find spaces within a couple of blocks. Opposition came from Coun. Patrick Nicol, who questioned reducing the maximum site coverage — including buildings — from 85 to 65 per cent. “The neighbourhood doesn’t want it,” he said. “There’s too many reasons not to do it. It’s a pretty extreme variance.” Dudgeon says the project will include storage units so tenants don’t store items outside or on decks. “We’re trying to make the building and the neighbourhood look better,” he said. Council has instructed staff to look at W.L. Seaton’s concerns about traffic safety in that area.
RCMP catch up with stolen car Morning Star Staff
RCMP throughout the North Okanagan were involved in bringing a suspected car thief to justice. Lake Country RCMP were advised Wednesday of a Chrysler 300 being driven erratically on Highway 97. The same vehicle was reported to have been involved in a gas-and-dash in Enderby and was southbound. A Vernon RCMP member spotted the vehicle and ran the licence plate which came back as being stolen out of Calgary a week earlier. However, because of the speed of the vehicle, he could not safely catch up to it. When a further report was received that the Chrysler was nearing Oyama Road, Lake Country RCMP members positioned themselves to intercept the
vehicle, and were successful in locating it as its driver was attempting to evade police by pulling into a carport of an unoccupied residence in Oyama. The driver and lone occupant, a 42-year-old man, formerly of B.C., but currently of no fixed address, was arrested in the car without incident. Police investigation has revealed that the vehicle was stolen in Calgary during a residential break-in, where additional personal items were taken, some of which have been recovered. The man is currently being held in custody and was slated to appear in Kelowna Provincial Court Thursday to face charges of possession of stolen property over $5,000, possession of stolen property under $5,000, dangerous driving and theft.

Creek recommendations flow BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
After a great deal of discussion, Coldstream council has approved a list of recommendations to help protect Coldstream, Craster and Brewer Creeks. The initiatives were formed by Coldstream’s environmental advisory committee after a May 3 open house where residents were encouraged to give input to district staff on what could be done. A list of nine recommendations was the result but the wording and intent of some were tweaked by council. Vegetation, fund allocation and plans for future testing and mapping were addressed. Council deliberated on the impact the implementation of the ideas would present. “We need to be the lead agency,” said Coun. Pat Cochrane.

“We need to find a way to empower (residents) to do it (make property adjustments).” Changes are needed to highlight the responsibility of creekside residents in preventing fertilizer runoff, animal waste, sediment loads and garbage from getting into the creek. Each of the creeks involved contributes to Kalamalka Lake, which is Coldstream’s drinking water supply, so council has stressed accuracy in getting the message out. “I sat on this for quite a while,” said Mayor Jim Garlick. “I think it’s important that it gets put into works. “Anyway we can facilitate people fixing their properties, we want to do that.” The North Okanagan Regional District and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans have guidelines regard-

ing riparian (creekside) habitats and what property owners should be doing to protect bodies of water. They encompass what types of vegetation are appropriate to plant and potential impacts when fencing or retaining walls are installed. A letter will be sent out to creekside property owners outlining the recommendations and a demonstration will be arranged to show what vegetation is appropriate for riparian areas. Meanwhile, the Society for the Protection of Kalamalka Lake has adopted Coldstream Creek along Coldstream Creek Park as part of the NORD and City of Vernon Adopt-A-Stream program. Society members will host a stream clean Saturday from 10 a.m to noon. Everyone is welcome.

A Montreal man described as playing a “peripheral” role in an alleged pin pad fraud scheme was handed another 50 days in jail as he was sentenced in Kelowna on a charge of fraudulent concealment. Mahmoud Alieh, 28, was involved in the swapping of a pin pad at a Vernon business last month, the court heard in a joint submission, and was later stopped by police as he drove a car. Police then searched his hotel room and found equipment capable of compromising pin pads and enabling the collection of debit and credit card information. Defence lawyer Grant Gray said Alieh, a restaurant worker, was “recruited” to participate in the alleged scheme and that he played a minor role. “His involvement has been
“His involvement has been peripheral” — Grant Gray peripheral,” said Gray. Alieh was given credit for 40 days for the time he has already served in custody, and was ordered to serve another 50 days. That jail term will be followed by 18 months probation, which includes conditions to stay out of B.C., not contact his co-accused and not possess credit cards or identification except those in his name. As well, he is not allowed to possess any instrument, device or computer program/application capable of or intended to be used to covertly intercept or transmit credit card data. Charges of possessing credit card forging instruments and
possessing a device to obtain computer services were stayed. Meanwhile, one of his coaccused, 21-year-old Khaled Ibrahim, also appeared briefly in court Tuesday, where lawyer Clarke Burnett put over the case to Monday “to see if we can resolve it.” Ibrahim faces a raft of charges, including 12 counts of fraudulent concealment stemming from incidents in Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, Richmond, North Vancouver, Whistler, Langley, Surrey and Abbotsford. He’s also charged with two counts of possessing credit card forging instruments and possession of a device to
obtain computer services, and remains in custody. Another accused, 26-yearold Sami Rais, has been released on $25,000 cash bail, plus a surety. He’s charged with two counts of fraudulent concealment, two counts of possessing credit card forging instruments and possession of a device to obtain computer services. He’s scheduled to return to court May 27. As well, court records show charges have been laid against two new individuals. Ana Rozankovic, 31, and Norair Baharian, 30, are charged along with Ibrahim for three of the counts of fraudulent concealment in Kelowna, as well as charges of fraudulent concealment in Vernon and Penticton. Court records don’t indicate any court dates for that duo.

A WorkSafeBC fatal and serious investigations unit is still looking into the accident, but Mitton said no orders have been written on the actual incident. “Typically, these type of investigations take a couple of months unless we find something significant we need to delve into,” he said.

A Vernon store is complying with orders issued by WorkSafeBC following an on-site accident last month. An employee at Vernon Butcher Shop lost part of her arm and three-and-a-half fingers on her other hand after it was pulled into a meat grinder on April 28.

FASHION STATEMENT
JESSICA SCHWITEK Morning Star Staff
Twenty-seven years with the RCMP have provided former Sergeant Charlie Scheideman with enough funny, shocking, and heartbreakingly tragic moments to fill up an entire book. And fill it he did. Policing the Fringe: The Curious Life of a SmallTown Mountie is littered with anecdotes from his time policing in seven different communities in the interior of British Columbia.
Originally from Alberta, Scheideman has been in B.C. since the age of 21 when got his first assignment as an RCMP officer. Since then he has dealt with ferocious bears, the Nelson axe murders, and drunk American fishers. Scheideman will be coming through Vernon on Sunday to make an appearance at Bookland on 30th Avenue. He will be there at 11 a.m. to sign books and talk about his time on the RCMP’s “front lines.”

News Health petition gains steam
Tropitone Lower Price Event at Beachcomber Home Leisure!
Morning Star Staff
A Lumby organization continues to make the case for improved health care services in the community. The Lumby and District Health Services Society has presented MLA Eric Foster with an almost 900name petition urging government support for improved and increased communitybased lab services. “Though the community has been receiving excellent service from Valley Medical Labs, a private business, the service has been very limited to just two hours, once a week,” said Pat Pointer, society chairperson. “Residents who cannot make the two-hour window have to incur extra gas expense and time off from work to make the round trip to Vernon and back.” Pointer added that the extra expense of travelling to Vernon is also a hardship on Lumby area seniors, with many having to rely on others because they do not drive anymore. “With 70 per cent of residents living outside the village limits, extra travel is not only a barrier to health care, but also increases everyone’s carbon footprint. “Neighbouring communities of Armstrong and Enderby receive government funded lab services five days a week compared to Lumby’s one day a week. “Where is the fairness?” Foster did present the petition to Health Minister Kevin Falcon and his office has confirmed they’ve received it. “The society is now waiting for the government’s response to the petition,” said Pointer.

The Deutschmobil recently rolled into town. The speciallyequipped Mercedes van, aptly titled the Deutschmobil, has been travelling across Canada since March 1 and will have covered 20,000 kilometres before it’s finished. This program, supported by the GoetheInstitute and sponsored by Mercedes-Benz Canada, is designed to promote German language and culture to secondary school students. The one-and-a-half hour seminars include games, video clips, and even gifts to help moti-

vate the kids. It started in Halifax, went to Vancouver, and is currently making its way back East. And on May 6 it stopped in Vernon to spend some time with Rolf Hirschkorn’s Grade 9 German class at Vernon
Secondary School. “The feedback has been great,” said Eva Porten, one of the two drivers of the Deutschmobil. “The kids love it.” Students Holli Glinsbockel, Johanna Thayer and Taylan
Dennis agreed saying that they had much more fun in the seminar then they do in regular class. Porten says that she and her partner Florian Goestl are very fortunate to be part of this program. Both teachers from Germany, they have been in Canada for less than a year and are enjoying travelling through the country. “Canada is huge,” said Porten. “Thank God we have GPS.”

Vernon RCMP officers Matt Innes (second from left), Tood Woon and Bill James are accepted onto Alexa’s Team for their work in getting impaired drivers off the road. Alexa’s Team is named after four-year-old Delta girl Alexa Middelaer, killed by a suspected impaired driver in 2008. Making the presentation to the Vernon officers are Alexa’s parents, Laurel (left) and Michael Middelaer.
Traffic officers make team Morning Star Staff
Three Vernon RCMP officers are among 39 from the southeast region of B.C. honoured for their diligence in removing impaired drivers from community roads. The BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation honoured the officers, including Consts. Matt Innes, Bill James and Todd Woon of Vernon, as members of Alexa’s Team, formed in memory of four-year-old Alexa Middelaer, who was run down by a vehicle driven by an individual suspected of being impaired at the the time. Membership on “Alexa’s Team” recognizes police officers, both RCMP and municipal police that have forwarded to Crown a total of 692 full impaired driving charges in addition to issuing 1,303 24-Hour Prohibitions and Administrative Driving Prohibitions under Section 215 of the Motor Vehicle Act in the previous year. The story of Alexa has inspired police from all regions of British Columbia to prevent the deaths of other innocent people. The three Vernon officers helped arrest 107 suspected impaired drivers in 2009, up 48 per cent from 73 in 2008. In the first quarter of 2010, the local detachment has already handled 45 impaired drivers and issued 96 24-hour suspensions, statistics that are up 73 and 13 per cent, respectively, over the same time
frame in 2009. “I applaud the efforts of these officers for their dedication to enforcing impaired driving laws because it does save lives,” stated Allan Lamb, executive director of the BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation. “The death of Alexa Middelaer and many others is the result of negligent behaviour. Behaviour that has killed and seriously injured hundreds of people in this province.” According to the foundation the majority of impaired drivers come from private functions. “We are all responsible when it comes to impaired drivers,” says Lamb. “If we know that someone has had too much to drink, or has ingested drugs, we must take action to prevent them from getting behind the wheel.”

Provincial program provides boost for new resort Morning Star Staff
An initiative that attracts immigrants is being credited for a new development in Vernon. Moira Stilwell, minister of labour market development, says the Provincial Nominee Program helped the $122 million Sparkling Hill Resort move ahead. “This new resort is just one of the many investments by PNP candidates that have led to over 2,550 new jobs created for British Columbians since 2002,� she said. Austrian Hans Peter Mayr came to B.C. in 2006 through the business category of the PNP program with plans to build Sparkling Hill. A long-time executive within the European hospitality sector, Mayr and his business partner, Gernot LangesSwarovski, chose Vernon as their site and began construction in 2008, creating up to 350 local jobs on site. “To work and live someday in the most beautiful and exciting country of the world was a goal many years ago,� said Mayr. “With this great provincial immigration program, and exemplary support from Mr. Langes-Swarovski, who stands behind the project, we are opening an absolutely unique destination spa, and making a dream come true.� Introduced in 2001, B.C.’s PNP offers accelerated immigration for qualified skilled workers, experienced entrepreneurs, and post- secondary graduates and their families, on average reducing wait times to settle in B.C. from up to five years to less than one. Individuals nominated by the province, together with their spouse and dependent children, are eligible to apply for a permanent resident visa from Citizenship and Immigration Canada. “We are thrilled that Hans Peter selected Vernon as the location for this incredible resort, and look forward
to welcoming visitors from around the world
when it opens in midMay,� said Eric Foster,

Byram gets top age-group billing GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Joe Byram is a leading man in more ways than one. Not only is the 15-year-old a rising star with the Vernon Kokanee Swim Club, he also earned his first leading role in a school play. How Byram finds time to go over his lines during a grueling training week is a bit of a mystery, but then again, he is doing 15-minute Hamlet, a condensed version of the Shakespeare classic, directed and produced by VSS students. As Byram explains, that’s why he got involved with acting to begin with – to have something away from the pool. “It’s more of an exploration, I’m just getting a feel for it. It’s a really good outlet from swimming,” said Byram. Much like rehearsing for the stage, Byram says all the pool training ensures he is polished for the big meets. “I train so I can have the thrill of competition. I like being in the water 18-and-a-half hours a week because I know it will pay off in the two minutes that I’m racing,” he said. “That feeling is incomparable. I can’t describe what it’s like to have a successful swim, to know that I have put in the work to get there.” Byram made his debut at senior nationals (Pan Pacific Trials) in Montreal in early April, and says the experience
was incredible. “I made a B final (100m backstroke), which was beyond my expectations,” said Byram, whose brother, Eric, competes in Nordic skiing. “It was a good meet to go to because even though it was a selection for the Pan Pacific team, it wasn’t as fast as last year. It was still quick... but it wasn’t as intense as it was in the past.” Byram, who turns 16 in June, has been with the Kokanee since 2006. Early on, he split his time with the Vernon club and one in Drayton Valley, as his family would come to Vernon in winter to take in the ski season. He is currently ranked No. 1 in Canada for his age group in 50-, 100- and 200-metre backstroke. He also has top-five rankings in 200 and 400m IM. Kokanee head coach Marc Tremblay says there’s no great secret behind Byram’s success. “It’s his work ethic. He’s a student of the sport. He sees who’s ranked where, and then he does what he needs to move up,” said Tremblay, noting that one of Byram’s greatest strengths is in his push off the wall during turns. “In three years, he has improved tremendously. “You need to have goals and you have to work really hard to achieve them, just like in life. Swimming really teaches that right from a young age.”
With Kokanee grads Taylor and Kevyn Peterson, Tara Ivanitz and Savannah King, along with current members Anders McIntyre and Sarah Mehain, all advancing to the international stage, Byram has witnessed firsthand what it takes to succeed at the higher level. “With what he (McIntyre) does and with Savanah King... it gives a competitive attitude to excel and do well,” he said. Added Tremblay: “The club has always produced great swimmers. You have all these kids that have gone on to other programs, and he sees it is feasible.” Byram says it isn’t necessary to have state-of-the-art facilities to get the results. “Having a short course pool definitely has its disadvantages, but we make it work,” he shrugged. “You just need water and walls to be able to train.” He also credits Tremblay for bringing the best out in the Kokanee swimmers. “He knows how to push kids, but not too much,” said Byram. “His focus is to develop high-performance athletes, but he doesn’t do it in a way that’s too extreme.” The next major meet for Byram will be the Mel Zajac Canada Cup event at the end of May in Vancouver. As a topranked age-group swimmer, Byram has also earned an invite to compete in the North America Challenge Cup. Summer nationals go in late July in Montreal.

Impact stop Setters Morning Star Staff
Okanagan Impact kept their undefeated season alive with a 3-1 win over host Salmon Arm Setters Pub in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters division action Tuesday night at Little Mountain Sports Fields. The 4-0 Impact got goals by Edeen Ramsey, Wendy Ellis and Jodi Hawthorne, while keeper Lisa Wright repelled the Setters attack. The Impact’s Liz Thomson was a force at centre midfield, Leanne Robertson demonstrated solid play-making ability, and veteran Dawn Lemiski was a rock on the back line. Lena Urquhart used her head for a pair of goals as Goplen Drillers slammed Tillicum Controllers 4-0 Tuesday night at Marshall Field #5. Urquhart’s first came off a corner from Felicia Ogorman, the second off a chip from Nancy Nickoli. Glenda Hatten scored with a rocket over the Tillicum goalie, and the hard-working Karen Zupp tapped in the final goal. Vernon Square Liquor Store North Okanagan United pummelled host Salmon Arm Kaos 5-0 Tuesday in Salmon Arm. NOU’s Char McNaught battled in the corner before setting up Kim Cooper for the first goal, and Carla Gibson delivered a beauty cross to Rita Tedesco for the second. Shelley Henry then added back-to-back goals, the first a gorgeous high loft from far outside to the far corner. The second was a hard shot that hit the post, bounced back out and she was able to plant the rebound. Tedesco completed the NOU attack. Karen Benn earned the shutout. In other Masters play Tuesday night, Shuswap Merlot shut down Monashee’s Pub 5-0 at Marshall
Field #4. Meanwhile, in women’s Competitive division action, the AF Blazers squeaked out a 3-2 win over TED United Tuesday at Marshall #1. Delihna Erbenich opened the scoring for the Blazers with Eileen Pelliccia earning the assist. Carissa Morneau made it 2-0 10 minutes later as she deflected a free kick from Signi MacNeill off the post and in. United rallied with two quick goals to even the score in the second half, but Erbenich notched the winner with five minutes remaining. Netminder Katie Hatten earned the win, while Paula Brownlee and Anita Csatho provided strong games in the midfield. Rhonda Catt, Vanessa Gooch and MacNeill were solid on defence.
Vernon's Mark Aven ruled the carpet-like greens at the Fairview Mountain Golf Club Monday in Oliver, shooting a 4-under-par 68 to claim $825 in the Callaway IPGA Tour stop. Ryan Street of Oyama earned $675 for finishing one stroke back of Aven, while Dean Claggett of Two Eagles (West Kelowna) earned $575 for third spot at 70. Myles Johnson of Spallumcheen, Craig Wilkinson of Castlegar and Rob Anderson of Kelowna Golf & Country Club each carded 71s to claim $408. Cec Ferguson of Vernon, Keith Vandenbrink of Hillview and Scott Allan of Predator Ridge were in a five-way group at 74, good for $90 apiece. In the annual pro am portion of the tournament, Lee Sapach’s team from Osoyoos shot a 116 to win by three shots. The Tour takes a month break and resumes Monday, June 14 at The Rise in Vernon. Meanwhile, 15-yearold Chris McEachernLaw of Predator shot a 71 to win the Shuswap Lake Estates Junior Open Saturday. McEachern-Law, who had nines of 33 and 38, carded a 96 in a recent Zone 2 event. He
Vernon shot 79, while Brad Jones of Vernon had an 82 at Shuswap Lake Estates.

Despite numerous chances, Turn-Key did not get on the scoreboard until late in the first half when Chris Jahnig found the net. Early in the second half, UBC-O Heat midfielder Justin Phillips made it 2-0 with a bullet from 25 yards out. Phillips set up Rob McGloin for TurnKey’s third goal, before scoring again himself to complete the offence. Spencer Brown and Jeremy Kler split the shutout.

Vernon's Morgan Hillis (right) catches an infield throw to put out Penticton's Kelsey Desroches at the Vernon Bantam Girls Fastball tournament Saturday at Kin Park.
Penticton rules Bantam tourney Morning Star Staff
Penticton won the annual Vernon Minor Fastball Association Bantam Girls Tournament last weekend at sun-soaked Kin Race Park. Teams from the Okanagan and the West Kootenays also participated in the seventeam round-robin event, with four teams moving on to the playoff round. All four playoff teams finished at 3-1, so it came down to runs and bases touched for and against to determine final placings. Langley came out on top, followed by Kelowna, Penticton and West Kootenay. Vernon's Bantam team finished sixth at 0-4. Coach Paulette Quibell was very proud of the way her team played all weekend. “The girls played their best and each game we played was better than the one before," said Quibell. "All I can ask of the girls is that they give 100 per cent and they all did. We got better as the weekend
went on.” Semifinal action saw Langley taking on West Kootenay and Kelowna taking on Penticton. In a one-run victory, Langley moved on to the final against Penticton who defeated Kelowna 9-2. The final was a seesaw pitching battle with the teams exchanging runs until the top of the seventh inning when Penticton managed to score two runs, taking the lead, and hanging on to a 3-2 win. Vernon's next tournament will be on the May long weekend when they host the Squirts and Pee Wees. Also on the radar for the association is the Squirt Provincials, July 9-11. A total of 15 out-of-town teams will compete at Grahame Park. Meanwhile, the Vernon Black Machines struck silver at a 14-team Midget fastball tournament last weekend in Summerland. Facing Chilliwack Hit & Run in the final, the Machines got great defence to keep the game scoreless over the first three
innings. Going into the fifth inning with the score tied 4-4, Chilliwack, who went 4-0 in round-robin play, scored two runs in both the fifth and sixth ends to earn an 8-5 win. The Machines went 3-1 in the roundrobin, shading Port Coquitlam by a run (round-robin scores not available) Saturday morning, before getting their bats going to mercy 100 Mile House and Ridge Meadows Extreme. In their final round-robin, the Machines fell to Kelowna, but got their revenge with a win in a semifinal rematch to advance to the final. The Black Machines, coached by Kevin Savitsky and Dale Silcocks, are: Robyn Savitsky, Lauren Silcocks, Hayley Silcocks, Sarah Crawford, Courtney Lutgen, Jesslyn Harpnick, Angie Bingham, Rachel Arychuk, Vicki Bissonette, Chanelle Conley, Alyssa Hinds, Megan Yawney and Devin McConnell.

United girls salvage draw with Blaze Morning Star Staff
Vernon United U16/17 battled to a 1-1 draw with Kamloops Blaze U16A in Thompson Okanagan Rep Girls Soccer League play Sunday at Marshall Field. United came out flat in the first half, allowing the Blaze to dominate the field by out-hustling them. Luckily for Vernon, the defence was once again solid, limiting Kamloops to only three or four opportunities. Kamloops opened the scoring at the 15-minute mark of the first half on a result of a poor effort in Vernon's end. In the second half, with the wind in their face, Vernon came alive, producing half a dozen excellent scoring chances and allowing no quality shots for Kamloops. In the 65th minute, Jenessa Moore threaded a pass to Alex Gowie, who broke in alone and equalized. Moments later, Gowie was stoned on another breakaway by the Kamloops keeper. Shortly after, Kirman Nijjar went in on a break and was stopped cold. Once again, Vernon's defence came up big against excellent passing and positioning by the Blaze. Moore and Jasmine Whitling had
strong games in the midfield, while Nijjar and Gowie were standouts with endless running. In U14 boys action, under a beautiful blue sky, Vernon was looking for the perfect Mother’s Day gift in Salmon Arm but the golden goal was not for sale in a 1-0 loss against the Shuswap. United started with good communication all over the field which kept the play deep into the Shuswap zone. That resulted in a Finlay McPhie free kick followed by multiple headers but no strike. Just 10 minutes later, Lucas Ross crossed to Finlay who missed the goal by inches. Vernon continued to press with their best overall team effort of the season, controlling the play and applying nice give and goes. With 10 minutes remaining in the half, Evan Viszlai went in hard for a check which resulted in a Shuswap kick which they just missed to the top righthand corner. With two minutes left, Jacob Dolinar slide tackled a Shuswap surge, neutralizing a great opportunity. The half finished scoreless, with Vernon controlling 70 per cent of the offensive play.
Shuswap trickled a shot into the bottom left-hand corner 10 minutes into the second half on a play where Vernon stopped, thinking the play was offside. This Shuswap goal was followed by an increased Vernon offensive attack, with Noa Acri feeding Ross, who passed to Menno Burnet, whose shot just went off the Shuswap keeper’s fingertips. A McPhie cross for a Ross header, missed the top corner. The Vernon wave kept coming where Man of the Match Mike Bennett’s relentless checking efforts kept the play in the Shuswap zone. In the last three minutes, Vernon had three corners with several headers and kicks to the goal but somehow Shuswap players came to the rescue. Meanwhile, a huge Eurogal fundraiser garage sale goes Saturday from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. at the VantageOne Indoor Soccer Centre on Okanagan Landing Road. Household items, furniture, sports gear, collectables, tools and clothing will be for sale. Item donations and bottle drop off will be gratefully accepted Friday from 6-8 p.m. at the soccer facility.

Kids are going to go bug-eyed when they check out a new program starting soon at the Vernon Museum. Creepy Crawlies, Mini Beasts and Flying Beauties is an insect seminar geared towards elementary-aged children and is run by The Bug Guys, also known as Stuart Brown and Brian Andersen. The pair will be introducing kids to an array of insects native and non-native to the Okanagan. Brown figures the ones that will be of the most interest will be the primitive monster cricket, devil scorpion, Tanzanian red-clawed scorpion and the Western-eyed click beetle. “We want to raise awareness that everything is not just to be squished,” said the 19-year-old Brown, discussing the program at the museum recently while casually allowing a Madagascar hissing cockroach to crawl over his hands and arms. He also displayed a small sample of his collection including various winged and spindly creatures under glass. “The main thing is their complete success and ability to adapt to their environment,” said Brown explaining what intrigues him. “These little guys have stayed the same for 300 million years.” Andersen, 18, is similarly interested in bugs because of their enduring nature on Earth and

Of the pair, Brown has the longer relationship with bugs having been engrossed with them since he was kneehigh to a gnat. His dad used to travel a lot for work and would sometimes be able to collect samples from what stuck to his car’s grill. Andersen, who wants to study biology and invertebrate entomology at UBC-Okanagan was drawn in after meeting Brown two years ago while they were at Kalamalka Secondary. “I saw his collection, thought it was cool and before I knew it, I was hooked,” he said. Brown was doing some volunteer work at the museum when someone found out his bug expertise and con-

vinced him to create a program for kids. “One of our mandates is education, especially education geared towards children,” said Vernon Museum director-curator Ron Candy. “When we can do hands-on things like this, it only enhances the experience.” Brown hopes some of the youngsters catch his passion for insects. “I’ve been doing this as long as I can remember,” he said. “It was just collecting at first.” Now he is able to distinguish an astonishing
variety of critters and recite their unique characteristics. He’ll also pass on the safest, most humane ways for kids to collect their own specimens so they can learn on their own time. To sign up for Creepy Crawlies, Mini Beasts and Flying Beauties, call the museum at 250-5423142. There will be a limit of 15 kids per session, the first of which is Saturday.

Safety, security reviewed
C
urrently, the Transportation, Infrastructure and Communities Committee, of which I serve on, is reviewing Air Transportation Safety and Security. On April 22, our committee interviewed two very interesting, informative witnesses; Mark Salter, Associate Professor, School of Political Studies, University of Ottawa, and by videoconference, Mr. Rafi Sela a consultant, from Kfar Vradim, Israel. Their testimony assisted our committee in understanding the challenges facing airport security. Colin Mayes Our government has placed an $11M order for the installation of 40 full body scanners at Canadian airports. These scanners will reveal any explosive device(s) a passenger may have on their person. Mr. Salter felt this was a positive move whereas Mr. Sela believed it was a waste of money. Mr. Salter’s position was that the threat and level of airport security in Canada was very different from Israel. He supported the use of body scanners and the traditional scanning of passengers’ luggage to identify articles that posed a threat. Mr. Sela rebuffed Mr. Salter’s views saying that passenger profiling and training security personnel in behavioural analysis was more effective in securing airports. He saw the passenger as the threat not the materials. I advised Mr. Sela that Japan’s Narita International Airport had perimeter security around the airport stopping all traffic entering the airport compound. Entrance sniffer dogs and security personnel would engage the passengers before they entered the airport. Mr. Sela commented that this was also done in Israel. He went on to say that by doing this, passengers entering the airport would experience less security delays in the terminal building as they accessed their flight gate. Mr. Sela advised that at most major airports in Canada a terrorist could load up a van, drive up to the front door of the terminal and detonate an explosive. The damage would be extensive because our terminals are not constructed with explosive proof glass and other products and designs that would minimize the effects of a ter-
MP REPORT
rorist act of this nature. He also said in Israel if you want to take your water on the plane or liquid shampoo, or five bottles of your favourite wine, no one would stop you because you had already been identified as a low risk. This study will be interesting. I might also add that airport security in Israel costs 40 per cent less per passenger than in North America. Mr. Salter was adamantly opposed to passenger profiling and behavioural analysis as he viewed this as disrespectful of one’s personal rights and therefore, not the Canadian way. In his opinion, Canadians would rather have security line ups and body scanners than giving up their personal information. This begs the question: Should we allow airport security personnel to view our private information, or our private body parts?
This is what we do.

Vocalists prepare to stage A Les MisĂŠrables Journey in Vernon May 19 to 22 Morning Star Staff
â&#x20AC;&#x153;To love another person is to see the face of God,â&#x20AC;? is the far-reaching message of Victor Hugoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic, Les MisĂŠrables. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a story that hits close to home for producer/director Melina Moore, whose local vocal performance studio, StudioMoore, is about to bring the musical to life at Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Powerhouse Theatre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an epic story of grace, redemption and forgiveness. It is very personal for me. In recent years, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned about the power of forgiveness and second chances. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned that people can change. This is one of the many reasons I wanted to do Les Mis,â&#x20AC;? said Moore. The studio is presenting a shorter version of the original four-hour musical that made its debut in London in 1985 and on Broadway two years later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made cuts to the music and tied scenes together with narrations I wrote. The set is simple, and the costumes and lighting deliver great punch,â&#x20AC;? said Moore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimately, this show is all about the singing. The story is so profound and universal that very little else is needed to deliver the experience.â&#x20AC;? Written by French composer ClaudeMichel Schonberg, with libretto by Alain Boublil and lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer, Les Mis follows the life of Jean Valjean, a convict who is imprisoned for 19 years after stealing a loaf of bread to save his starving sister. The musical spans his life, from the time of his parole to his ultimate passing. Paralleling his story are the lives of Fantine, who gives her daughter, Cosette, to guardian Valjean; Javert, the righteous officer who is in pursuit of Valjean; Marius and Enjolras, the student revolutionaries; Ă&#x2030;ponine, who loves Marius; and the ThĂŠrnardiers, who cheat, steal and lie to exist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the show in New York at least a dozen times growing up. The French Revolution was bleak, and Les MisĂŠrables is grim indeed. But underlying the tragedy is the message of hope. The promise of a better tomorrow. No one will leave the theatre uninspired or unmoved. We all cry our way through rehearsals, even though weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been at it for nine months,â&#x20AC;? said Moore.
KRISTIN FRONEMAN/ MORNING STAR
StudioMoore singers Joe Lanaway (Enjolras, left), Justin Moore (Gavroche), Cassandra Piovesan (Ă&#x2030;ponine), Paul Emerson (Javert), Scott May (Jean Valjean), Lindsay Richey (Fantine), Julie Noble (Cosette), Andrew Nydam (Marius), Alex Judd (ThĂŠnardier) and Karen Bliss (Madame ThĂŠnardier) perform in A Les Miserables Journey at Powerhouse Theatre next week. Piovesan ( as Ă&#x2030;ponine, below) sings On My Own. said Moore, adding that when word got out that Les Mis was coming to Vernon, everyone was abuzz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first question I always get is: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;will Paul (Moore, tenor and co-owner of StudioMoore) and I be singing the roles of Valjean and Cosette?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The answer is no. My studio has always been about spotlighting the singers in the studio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been vigilant about keeping my professional career and my teaching separate. Otherwise, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fair to the singers who are entrusting their training to me. This is their moment to shine, and shine they shall.â&#x20AC;? A Les MisĂŠrables Journey takes the stage for four performances with two casts, Wednesday, May 19 to Saturday, May 22 at the Powerhouse Theatre, 2901 35th Ave. All shows start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25, available at the Ticket Seller box office at the Performing Arts Centre.

talent was there. I picked the show based on the cast I already had assembled. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had a more stellar group of singers, and the dedication and enthusiasm they have shown collectively has been essential to a project like this.â&#x20AC;? The double-cast ensemble has been hard at work rehearsing the two-and-a-half hours of music since September. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Les MisĂŠrables is closer to an opera than a musical theatre piece. There is no dialogue. Everything is sung. The singing is as demanding as any classical work. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been preparing my students for a vocal marathon,â&#x20AC;? said Moore. With costume design by Vikki Moore and her team of creative artists, wigs by the North American Film Industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renowned Caroline Dehner, set design by Paul Emerson and lighting by Dave Brotsky, the show is a large team effort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a production that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be done half way. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Les Mis, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all or nothing,â&#x20AC;?
Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to bring Les Mis to Vernon was many years in the making. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been waiting for just the right group of people,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, the

Morning Star Staff
Anyone who had the luck, make that tickets, to see guitar genius Jesse Cook perform with his band of magical musicians Tuesday at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre were treated to one rumba of a show. If you didn’t get tickets in time for the soldout concert, or were too busy cheering on the doomed Canucks on TV, don’t despair, there is more acoustic guitar music coming your way. Local trio James and the Country Gentlemen, who have been impressing audiences around these parts since forming four years ago, are saying farewell for now with a headlining gig at the Okanagan College Kalamalka Campus lecture theatre. The show takes place Saturday and promises to be an affair fit for any guitar lover, especially those with an affinity for the Parisian gypsy jazz of Django Reinhardt,
or the straight ahead jazz stylings of Wes Montgomery and Kenny Burrell. Stefan Raupach and Daniel Favell, who are both Grade 12 students at Kalamalka Secondary School, and Johann Lingohr, who is completing his first year at UBC Okanagan, play music that belies their respective ages. “We have a couple of songs that are original, but we mostly play jazz music with a Spanish flavour. A big portion of what we play is improvised solos where we put our own flavour to the music,” said Raupach, who with Favell are both in the jazz program at Kal Secondary. (Lingohr was also in the program before graduating last year.) All three also study with Vernon Community Music School guitar instructor Neil Fraser. In fact, it was Fraser who first assembled them as a group.

“We knew each other at school, but it was Neil who really got us together,” said Raupach. “We were all taking individual lessons with Neil, and he noticed we had similar skills, so it was a cool thing for him to do,” said Favell, adding it was Fraser that got his students tuned into acoustic jazz and improvising. “We would play Minor Swing or Djangology and it took off from there,” said Lingohr. Fraser also got his young students to practice as a trio once a week, and started pushing them to play live.

Arts Guitar trio holds send-off concert Continued from page B2 It was while playing one of their first gigs, a fundraiser for Camp Hurlburt, where the trio’s name came to be. “We were backstage and didn’t have a name, and someone came up with the name James on the spot. We added the Country Gentlemen, which was the name of a bluegrass band in the States, and it stuck,” said Raupach. Now christened James and the Country Gentlemen, the guitarists really got their name out when they entered the inaugural Our Kids Have Talent, a talent search spearheaded by Kath Raeber, founder of the Rarearth Jazz and Blues Festival here in Vernon. They ended up winning the contest in March, 2009. “We made more connections from that, and the more gigs you do, the more you get,” said Favell. After performing on the same stage as blues

again impressed the judges. Now as Favell and Raupach get ready to graduate, (both hope to end up in Vancouver, where Lingohr is planning to transfer next season), members say they plan to keep playing together, and will return to the Okanagan for summers.
Their send-off concert takes place Saturday at the college theatre, with doors opening at 7 p.m. and music at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 at Blenz coffee, the Bean Scene and the door. “We encourage people to come out and hear local music with real instruments,” said Raupach.

Healthy pregnancies website starts Morning Star Staff
Pregnant women, expectant parents and those with newborns and toddlers now have easier access to reliable information about healthy pregnancies, early child care and parental self care, as a result of a new government website – www. bestchance.gov.bc.ca. “The Best Chance website is a user-friendly, engaging resource providing current information and advice to help guide B.C. parents from pregnancy through the toddler years,” said Healthy Living Minister Ida Chong. “New parents can bookmark and reference this site to give them a one-stop shop for easily-accessible and accurate information.” This new tool is an interactive site especially designed to support women’s general health, pregnancy planning and pregnancy, as well as parenting and infant and toddler care up to three years of age. It was developed as an up-to-date follow-up to the widely acclaimed Baby’s Best Chance and Toddler’s First Steps publications, both of which have been recognized provincially and across Canada as outstanding resources offering practical, easily-understood information for women and their families about nutrition, safety, child development, health and wellness and parenting. The government has also launched the Pregnancy Passport – a small booklet to provide expectant women
with practical and useful information about the care they can expect to receive during pregnancy, birth and the period following birth. The passport is a resource published by Perinatal Services B.C., in partnership with the Ministry of Healthy Living and Sport and
provincial health authorities and is available from primary care providers, including family physicians and public health offices. “With the input of health professionals and care providers including physicians, midwives, and nurses, this unique booklet has been devel-
oped specifically for pregnant women and supports them to be an active participant in their care throughout their pregnancy as they are supported by their care provider,” said Kim Williams, provincial executive director with Perinatal Services B.C. In addition, a new-
ly-revised version of Baby’s Best Chance: Parent’s Handbook of Pregnancy and Baby Care, funded by a onetime grant provided by Child Health BC, will be available through local health authorities to accompany information found on the Best Chance website.

PUZZLE NO. 203
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Usually it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter, but today recognition for doing something good could be extremely important to you. All you have to do is put forth the extra effort that an also-ran wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make.

HOW TO PLAY: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Others might fall prey to not being able to identify a falsehood when they hear one, but you are not likely to be so easily deceived. Trust both your common sense and your intuition when weighing evidence. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Progress can be made today concerning an ambitious endeavor youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been pursuing, but you might have to get a bit creative to move forward. Just wait until completion before claiming any bragging rights. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Using a bit of smarts and lots of diplomacy can serve you better than being bossy and demanding. The secret to getting others to help you without generating any resentment is to make them feel important. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23) Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discard any strong feelings or hunches you get today, especially regarding your work. Your intuitive perceptions could be the best tool youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find for accomplishing a difficult job. SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 22) One of your greatest assets is your ability to recognize the talents of others. When organizing an event, assign people to the jobs they do best, and each will walk away feeling successful. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23-DEC. 21) Although it might take you a bit longer than others to do a certain job today, the big difference will be in the fact that what you do is likely to be done to perfection. CAPRICORN DEC. 22-JAN. 19) What you say isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to be ignored today, and others will know you mean business. Even when your demands are couched in friendly phrases, the point gets across.
www.planetbee.com
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 19) If large returns are necessary for you to be successful today, you might have to work a bit harder than usual. However, once you prime the pump, personal gains should freely flow.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot ďŹ&#x201A;ashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

Bridge by Phillip Alder John Webster, an English playwright who died in 1625, said, “Man may his fate foresee, but not prevent.... ‘Tis better to be fortunate than wise.” That’s absolute rubbish for a bridge player! If you can see how to control the fate of your contract, you can (almost always) prevent defeat. Also, wisdom is good. But I suppose if you cannot be wise, being fortunate is better than nothing. And being wise and fortunate is best of all. Let’s see how wise you are in this deal. How would you try to make three no-trump after West leads the spade seven and you capture East’s queen with your king? The auction is straightforward. With no singleton or void, North
is right to jump to three no-trump. He should not worry about the spade weakness -- that is opener’s responsibility. With seven top tricks (one spade, three hearts, one diamond and two clubs), you must score two more club tricks. So, you can afford to lose one club trick as long as the opponents cannot then cash too many spades. What is the spade position? The first trick marked West with the spade ace, because East, playing third hand high, would have put up the ace if he held it. So you need to keep East off the lead; otherwise, he will push a spade through your jack and West will run the suit. We say that East is the
danger hand. To do this, be wise and ignore “nine never.” Play a club to dummy’s ace, then lead a low club to your jack. If West could win with the queen, your contract would be safe. Here, though, the finesse wins and you get home with an overtrick.

All eyes on decorative potato boxes PATCH HUTCHINSON Special To The Morning Star
Food and art have been connected since the earliest still life paintings. Now the Armstrong Community Food Initiative Society is taking food art to a completely new level with its potato box project. Society member Kelly Marks discovered the potato boxes on the Internet site of Irish Eyes Garden Seeds, which gives specific instruction on building the wooden potato boxes that were two-feet-square and threefeet-high. Each box can grow 100 pounds of potatoes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried a few last year, just as a pilot project,â&#x20AC;? said Laurie Williams, with the society, adding that the 2009 pilot boxes did not reach the 100-pound goal due to the late start to that season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to plant late variety or fingerling pots which will set potatoes for all the growing season.â&#x20AC;? At planting, the box is six inches off the ground. As the plant grows, additional layers of wooden frame and soil are added to earth up to the potato plant until the box reaches its maximum height of three feet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have read that in the North Okanagan, an average family just has enough food for two to three days,â&#x20AC;? said Williams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During a food shortage, or if we had any large crisis as a community, we would not be able to feed ourselves.â&#x20AC;? Williams explained that one of the objectives of the boxes is to get people to store more food. Lisa Sterritt and Williams had seen some of the colourful painted whales that were on display outside some buildings in Vancouver. They were painted and sold as a fundraiser, as were bears and eagles. That gave them the idea of promoting local emerging and established artists while

Society members set up an information booth at the Armstrong Farmers Market May 1, with a goal of recruiting and provid-
ing potato boxes for 50 growers at a cost of $10 each. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got orders for 45 boxes just in the morning and we have not even started the business portion,â&#x20AC;? said Williams, referring to the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intention to go to local business es and ask for corporate sponsorship. The $10 cost was subsidized by lumber donated by Shepherdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hardware. Local market gardener Nick Kicey donated 100 pounds of russet potatoes, which the organization will use grow into seed potatoes. The weekly need for just one local food bank is five pounds of potatoes a week for each of 40 families. So they are encouraging gardeners to donate some or all of their crop to the two food banks operated at the Boys and Girls Club and Glad Tidings Church in Armstrong. The group will hold a work bee or a workshop to build the boxes, with details still to be determined. Last year, the society held canning workshops and hopes to introduce other ways of preserving food. It also exhibited at the Interior Provincial Exhibition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did a lot last year. We do not just have meetings,â&#x20AC;? said Williams, who believes thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the society has grown to about 40 members. Last year, the group gave away 4,000 pounds of food to people in need and one of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s many objectives is to continue their food-sharing projects. The gleaning program will also be repeated, using volunteer pickers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to expand it and do it on a bigger scale and co-ordinate with local farmers,â&#x20AC;? said Williams, who is hoping to get a list of farmers. For information about the society, contact Laura-Lee Evans at 250-546-8504.

Daughter cuts ties to father
D
ear Annie: I have only known my biological father for 14 years. (I have no relationship with my biological mother.) Dad signed away his rights when I was young, but I reconnected with him at age 15. He claims he always wanted me, but I am now 28, and he has made no effort to be in my life. I was recently hospitalized for two weeks. Dad never once came or called, even though he knew I was there and only lives a mile away. My foster dad, however, drove 100 miles to see me. Whenever I try to see my father, he never has time. He doesn’t bother to visit my home or my nine-yearold daughter. I want him to love me, but I was the Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar only one making the effort to have a relationship. This man has alienated himself from his siblings and other relatives. When his mother was terminally ill, I sat at her bedside for weeks, and he never once came to see her. I have decided to cut all ties because I am tired of being hurt and having my every move criticized. I have gone through cancer without any emotional support from him. He ignores my daughter, his only grandchild. My husband is big on family and is pressuring me to have a closer relationship with my biological parents. I consider my foster parents my real parents. They have loved me no matter what. I think it’s healthier to eliminate my father from my life. Am I wrong? — Abandoned Again Dear Abandoned: There is no right or wrong here. If you want to keep your father in your life, you must scale down your expectations. He is not capable of putting forth the effort required to

maintain a close relationship. Either accept him as an occasional distant relative, or avoid him altogether, but don’t let your husband make the choice for you. Do what you can handle. Dear Annie: I am a 29-year-old woman who has suffered with epilepsy since childhood. It is a surprisingly common disorder. I deal with it fairly well through medication, but I still have a big problem. I can be “photo-induced,” meaning I can have a seizure when exposed to flashing or strobing lights. If I am attending a live concert or play, I always ask the management whether there will be any such lighting effects and explain why. However, my biggest problems are TV and movies. Often there are strobe effects with no warning. Epilepsy is common enough that I feel we deserve some type of warning when the lighting could cause real medical danger. This is why they changed the format of many cartoons in Japan — because children were having seizures from the strobe effects. We post warnings when TV programs contain “offensive language,” but those don’t land anyone in the hospital. Please, Annie, help me think of ways to raise awareness and create positive change. — Seeking Stability Dear Seeking: If you have not already contacted the Epilepsy Foundation (epilepsyfoundation.org) at 1-800-332-1000, please do so today. They advocate for those with epilepsy and their families. If they haven’t yet worked on getting management to alert theater and concert patrons about lighting, they would surely appreciate your help.

Severson ready to ride against cancer In June 2007, things could not have been better for Consie Severson. She had finished volunteering at Relay for Life, loved her job as a personal trainer, and had just celebrated her birthday. “A single phone call changed my life. My doctor called and suggested a few tests. I wasn’t too worried at this point, I thought he was just being cautious,” she said. The blow came when she was sent to the surgeon and told she had been diagnosed with colon cancer. She had surgery 10 days later.
“A single phone call changed my life.” — Consie Severson “I had hardly ever been sick in my whole life,” she said. “When I recovered from surgery, seven months of chemotherapy started. It was an experience I would never want anyone else to go through.” She decided to use her love of bike riding — she teaches indoor
ride classes at work — to help raise funds to find a cure for cancer and came up with Ride for Research. Last year, she rode a stationary bike for 15 hours and is hoping to make it for 24 hours this year. “Everything I raise will go the B.C. Cancer Society,” said Severson.

Prostate researcher speaks to group Morning Star Staff
A leading force in the fight against prostate cancer is bringing her message to the North Okanagan. Dr. Marianne Sadar, the program leader for prostate cancer research at the B.C. Cancer Agency, will speak to the Vernon Prostate Cancer Support and Awareness Group Monday at 7:30 p.m. at the People Place. Sadar’s research has been focused on finding new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of prostate cancer. Her work was the first in the world to provide evidence for a new therapeutic target for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. Marianne Sadar In cases of advanced prostate cancer, male hormones or androgens are known as fuels, First-line treatment is androgen deprivation therapy, using
250-545-2848 • info@thepilatesconnection.ca
drugs or surgery to suppress androgens and slow the disease’s progression. But eventually, prostate cancer cells continue to grow, even with reduced levels of androgens. In these cases, nothing more can be done for patients. On a quest to discover what propels the renewed growth, Sadar and her research team found that if they inserted a portion (decoy) of a certain molecule — the androgen receptor thought to trigger growth — into a cancer cell, the decoy intercepted signals which resulted in the tumour cells dying. This work provided the proof-of-concept that Sadar had discovered and validated a new therapeutic target to which drugs could be developed. A long-term collaboration with chemist Dr. Raymond Anderson has resulted in the team discovering a drug that blocks the target and causes prostate cancer tumours to regress. The drug is being developed for clinical trials.

Protect yourself from the risk of rabies The B.C. Centre for Disease Control is reminding the public that warm weather brings an increased risk of contact between people and wild animals, which brings a greater risk of exposure to rabies. Rabies is a very serious disease caused by the rabies virus, which infects the brain and nervous system. If untreated, it can be fatal over 99 per cent of the time. The disease can be prevented with a vaccine that must be administered immediately after exposure, and before symptoms begin. Symptoms of rabies include headache, fever, increasing difficulty in swallowing, excessive drooling, muscle spasm or weakness, and strange behaviour. Coma and death can follow within one to two weeks of symptom onset. While any mammal can carry rabies, currently in B.C., only bats are known to carry the virus. “People should avoid contact with bats,” explains Ken Cooper, BCCDC senior environmental health specialist. “If anyone has been bitten or scratched by, or had any direct physical contact with a bat, they should seek immediate medical attention as immunization is ineffective once symptoms develop.” Rabies is very rare among humans in Canada. The two most recent human cases of rabies in B.C. residents - both linked to a bat strain of the virus were in 1985 and 2003 and both were fatal. The infection rate of rabies in bat populations is low and each situation of bat-human contact must be carefully evaluated to determine the type of medical response needed. “Although there is virtually no risk of rabies from other wild animals in B.C. - such as skunks, foxes, raccoons and coyotes - people should seek medical advice immediately after contact, especially if the animal acted strangely.
Also, a tetanus shot may be needed,” said Cooper. The best approach is prevention:
■ Do not touch live or dead bats. ■ Make your home or cabin ‘bat proof ’. Watch for bats that
may have overwintered in cabins opened up for the summer season. Keep your doors and windows closed or
screened (make sure the screens don’t have any holes), and keep your attic area free of bats by ensuring all vents are
properly screened. ■ If a bat enters a room, leave the window open and close off interior doors until the bat
leaves. ■ Seek professional bat-control advice if you observe bats at your work.

Winnona Joyce Klassen Aug 25, 1934 - May 7, 2010
Nona passed away suddenly on a bus tour in Lake Chelan, Wa s h i n g t o n . She was born in Kamloops, eldest of four sisters and two brothers, moving to Oliver in 1943 with her family. She attended elementary school and Southern Okanagan High School. After grad, she worked in Whites Pharmacy and the fruit packing house. Local boy Frank Klassen, caught her eye and they were married in 1954. They later moved to the coast, living in Vancouver, Surrey and settling down in White Rock where she had three children. The family moved to this valley in 1968 where they lived in the same house for almost forty years. Nona and Frank were very active in square dancing where she sewed fantastic matching outďŹ ts for them both. Later, she became very busy with her T.O.P.S. group and the Red Hat Ladies (Crown Jewels of Canada). Nona leaves behind her husband, Frank, daughters Sherri Graydon (Allan) of Vernon, Dixie Klassen (Dave) of Mission, and son, Kyle Klassen (Teresa) of Vernon. Also, two grandchildren, Mark Graydon (Melissa) of Cranbrook and Amber Babchuk (Chris) of Sicamous. And missing their â&#x20AC;&#x153;nanaâ&#x20AC;? is great grandchildren, Elayna and Carter (and Austin, son of Chris.) Her sisters Bonnie, Roberta (Colin) and brothers Keith (Ruth), Duane (Diane), brother-in-laws, George (Judy) and Ernie (Barbara), many nieces, nephews and friends will miss this wonderfully kind lady. She was predeceased by her parents and her sister, Stella. A celebration of Nonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will take place June 2, 1:00pm at the Schubert Center 3505 30th Ave, Vernon. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, donations can be made to the Arthritis Society or charity of your choice.

He leaves to mourn his loving wife of 40 years Cynthia, his daughter Carrie (Viviane), his son Kris (Jaimie), and beautiful grandsons Clark and Blaise, sister Brenda, and her daughter Jessica, sisters in law, brothers in law, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, many friends and acquaintances. Born and raised in Cupar, SK Bill met his true love Cynthia and together they started their life. Settling in Vernon, BC for the last 20 years they operated Toppers Dry Cleaners and Bill built a successful career in real estate at Century 21. A job that suited his outgoing personality. It was the simple things that made Bill happy; laughter, love, and his passion for music which he expressed through playing the guitar and singing. This made him a wonderful father and a loving gramps to his two grandsons. Those wishing to pay their respects may do so on Saturday, May 15, 2010, 10:00am, at Pleasant Valley Funeral Home, 4303 Pleasant Valley Rd, in Vernon, BC.

He loved a variety of music and played drums in his high school bands. He was also an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hiking, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, snowboarding and wakeboarding. Kurt had many fond memories of his annual hunting trip with his father and Uncle Garry. More recently, Kurt raced the #11 car in the Sportsman category at Sun Valley Speedway. Since 1989, Kurt taught Physical Education at WL Seaton Secondary School and dedicated countless hours coaching many different sports including volleyball, basketball, football and track and ďŹ eld. Kurt is survived by his parents Ben and Gail, his sister Laurie (Kelly and Fallon), his paternal grandmother Olga, several aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. No funeral by request. A gathering of family and friends will take place at a later date.
