High-flying tricks send a message BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
G
ravity-defying jumps off steep ramps at Tuesday’s Dry Grad Freestyle show at Kalamalka Secondary impressed students but the riders hope it’s their message to the class of 2010 that sticks. Local motocross athletes showed their derring-do at the Coldstream high school but then focused the students’ attention on making good choices at grad time so their futures remain full of possibilities. “Everyone parties, everyone is going to have a good time but you can have a good time and be smart at the same time,” said Kelowna native Bruce Cook, who couldn’t take part as his left foot was in a cast. Still, he was key to the demonstration, which wrapped up just as rain began falling, and he told the story of losing a friend to drunk driving during his grad year. “My grad was pretty crazy, there’s lots of parties,” he said. “If you make the right decisions, you can be anything you want and go anywhere you want to go.” Reagan Sieg, Kalamalka class of ‘96 grad, gave students some thrills with a variety of high-flying acts but also noted he wouldn’t be doing what he is now if he’d allowed grad distractions to derail him. “If I had ever gotten a criminal record – anything like that – all my stuff overseas, it wouldn’t have happened, getting down to the states, it wouldn’t have happened,” said Sieg, who has been to Europe close to 40 times for competitions. “We want to definitely send you guys in the right direction, make some smart choices, you can definitely grow up to be what you want to be,” he said. Grade 12 student Bethany Proce enjoyed

key. “It’s probably the most tempting of all high school years because you want to make it count and sometimes that means making bad choices,” she said. Teacher Kelly Bibby was pleased all students were exposed to the lesson. “(The riders) had messages about being
safe and being strong and believing in yourself and making positive choices so I think the kids are going to take that home with them,” she said. The show was made possible by Banner Recreational Products and Canadian Kawasaki Motors. Another show was held at George Elliott Secondary in Winfield.
Coroner releases findings into death of couple RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
It’s now known how a Vernon couple died. On Thursday, the coroner’s report was released into the July 28, 2009 deaths of Bernice and Peter Ziemann at their Lakeshore Road home. Coroner Andrew Cave says Bernice Ziemann, 68, died as a result of three gunshot wounds. The most significant and fatal
wound was a laceration of her pulmonary artery. “I classify this death as a homicide and make no recommendations,” wrote Cave. Peter Ziemann, 71, died from fractures he sustained after falling out of bed. Fractures of the vertebrae are not normally fatal but Cave says death would have occurred because of lung cancer causing underlying severe respiratory insufficiency.
“Also found were injuries to the left hand consistent with having been holding the chamber of a revolver while pulling the trigger with the right hand,” said Cave. The position of Peter Ziemann’s body indicates he fell out of bed after firing the gun. It has been determined that Peter Ziemann was extremely ill with terminal lung cancer and was described as incoherent on the morning of July 28.
“At the late stage of his illness and based on his recent history, Mr. Ziemann could reasonably be considered to be confused and it was unlikely that he was aware that the person he was firing at was his wife,” said Cave. Just prior to the deaths occurring, a neighbour was in the living room when he heard Bernice Ziemann call out for help from the bedroom where her husband was located. He then heard a number

of shots, fled the residence and called 911. Bernice Ziemann was found in a hallway near the bedroom door. “Bullets and damage to the residence, in conjunction with the injuries found at postmortem examination indicated that Mrs. Ziemann was initially in the room with Mr. Ziemann and that as the incident unfolded, she was attempting to leave the room,” said Cave in his report.

News Prison debate heating up in Lumby RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A proposed prison in Lumby has the endorsement of some community leaders, but others remain hesitant. Council met with business and social services representatives Tuesday to discuss its investigation of Lumby possibly becoming the location of a regional correctional centre. “It has more positives than negatives,� said Jean Latval, Lumby Health Society president. “I like the idea of a clean and green industry. It will bring money and people into town and that would be good for the health society because we’d be able to increase our services.� Cpl. Henry Proce, officer-incharge of the Lumby RCMP, also favours the concept. “It certainly would be an economic shot in the arm. It’s green and would bring lots of jobs,� he said. However, not everyone is willing to add their support just yet. “We will have to take a deeper look at the whole picture,� said Bill Maltman, Lumby Chamber of Commerce president. “It could be positive for the community but there are questions
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Lumby council is asking residents if they would support a correctional facility being located in the community. about the social impact — the image of the community.� Maltman expects to raise the issue with chamber members to determine what their thoughts are. Also at Tuesday’s meeting was Gay Jewitt, executive director of the White Valley Community
Resource Centre. “I still need more information. They (council) gave us as much as they could but some of it is unofficial,� she said. Latval agrees that some residents will be anxious about having a prison close at hand and they
may fear for their safety. “More information has to get out to individuals,� said Latval. “I don’t see council pushing anything until they know how people feel.� Proce says public safety will be critical if a correctional facility is
established. “There’s always the possibility we could get an offender stay in the community after they’ve been released but we’d deal with that,� said Proce, adding that there’s been no escapes from the Kamloops facility. “That doesn’t mean it can’t happen, though.� Proce believes a prison could require more RCMP officers being stationed at the Lumby detachment. No firm discussions have been held between the village and the government about a prison, and Mayor Kevin Acton insists feedback from residents is the next step. “We’re looking at public consultation,� he said. Solicitor General Mike de Jong was unavailable for comment, but a statement from his ministry indicates B.C. Corrections is aware of Lumby’s interest in a correctional centre. “We continue to recognize the long-term need for additional capacity in the Central Interior. However, at this time, it would be speculative to suggest a location or a time frame within which a correctional centre will be built in the Okanagan,� it states.

BCGEU officials say an Okanagan facility must be a priority because other B.C. facilities are full. “The government should have some ongoing planning to build a facility in the Okanagan,� said Darryl Walker, union president. “Our jails are operating at 180 per cent above capacity and the government’s own public safety ministry service plan says it has reached critical capacity. The government already owns the land in Winfield and needs to be more pro-active on this file.� In the Legislature Tuesday, Solicitor General Mike de Jong stated that demand on the correctional system in B.C. is growing and a new facility is being constructed in Surrey. “And we are, of course, continuing to explore and move ahead with the provision of additional facilities elsewhere in the prov-
ince,� he said. The Village of Lumby has shown interest in becoming the site of a correctional facility, and Baker believes that could be an option for the Okanagan. “I hope the government takes advantage of that,� said Baker.

Between those dates, only topping up will be allowed. The bylaw had previously suggested that pool filling could occur between midnight and 6 a.m., while a ban on all filling originally occurred. “I am glad someone listened to some common sense and research,” said Lee Kazmar, owner of Pools, Ponds and Waterscapes. Under stage three, no new permits for newly seeded lawns will be issued but renewals of permits issued under lesser drought response stages will occur before June 15 and after Aug. 31. Placement of sod may take place until
June 15 and after Aug. 31 with a permit for a period not exceeding two weeks. “It looks like we’ll be able to work through stage three regulations,” said Bonnie Leibel, owner of Lavington Turf Farms.
Leibel was concerned the old rules would keep people from purchasing turf because they couldn’t irrigate. The regional district will now establish a drought response team to prepare for future situations.
Some Oyama residents are being told to boil their water. As of Thursday, a boil water notice has been issued for the Wood Lake water system (Oyama Lake source) on the east side of Wood Lake. “The reason for this boil water notice is due to a power outage that occurred last night which caused the chlorinator to fail for a short period of time, causing a temporary loss of disinfection,” said Greg Buchholz, with the District of Lake Country. Spring snow melt has also increased turbidity. The boil water notice will continue until runoff is completed and bacterial testing is satisfactory. Water intended for drinking, washing produce, making beverages or brushing teeth should be boiled for one minute.

District targets processing rules RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Local politicians are fighting against what they believe are discriminatory regulations. The North Okanagan Regional District board d e c i d e d Wednesday to demand that the provincial government treat all areas in B.C. equally when it comes to meat processing guideRick Fairbairn lines. “There’s some feeling in the North Okanagan that new licenses have been restricted for applicants,” said Rick Fairbairn, rural Lumby director. The government has proposed two new categories of licences to B.C.’s meat inspection regulations. One of the new licences (Class D) will permit geographically-restricted sales in nine designated areas while the other licence (Class E) allows for the on-farm slaughter of a small number of animals annually for direct sales to local consumers in rural communities that cannot support a fully licensed facility. “This discrimination does not
provide a level playing field,” said Fairbairn. That view is also held by Leith Skinner, BX-Silver Star alternate director. “There are two classes of citizens — one in these select areas and the other in the rest of the province,” he said. “Class D and E licenses don’t appear available except in regions at the coast and that doesn’t sit well with constituents here.” Support for writing the letter to the government also comes from Vernon representatives. “We’re justified in the Okanagan to have the same regulations as elsewhere in the province,” said director Jack Gilroy. Opposition to placing demands on Victoria came from Mike Gavinchuk, BX-Swan Lake director. Gavinchuk says the North Okanagan is not part of the Class D and E license schedule because farmers can access certified butchers here. He also insists there is a need for inspection regulations. “It has to do with disease and there are places where you can cheat on that stuff because nobody is there to check them. That has to stop,” said Gavinchuk.

Spring break extended KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
For some parents, it will mean the chance for an extended family holiday; for others, it means a struggle to find extra day care. Either way, it’s official: the Vernon School District is once again going with a two-week spring break for the 2010/11 school year. At Tuesday’s district board meeting, director of instruction Joe Rogers said parents were asked to give their feedback on the two-week option. “Following the April board meeting, a SynerVoice message Mark Olsen was sent to all district families requesting their feedback on the school calendar,” said Rogers. “We have had 253 responses, with 75 per cent in favour of the two weeks.” Parents’ comments in favour of the longer break ranged from the chance for kids to return to school refreshed and ready to learn, to giving the district a chance to save money. Those opposed felt there were already too many days off for Pro-D and statutory holidays when kids should be in school learning, and that it’s unfair to CUPE members who are taking a pay cut and to
low-income families who can’t afford a holiday. CUPE president Mark Olsen said his members aren’t opposed to having a break, but they are opposed to not getting paid. “It does directly affect my members, they lose out on two weeks pay, they’re not paid for the break and we consider it a layoff,” said Olsen. He said the two-week break amounts to a 2.5 per cent reduction in annual wages. “So that’s a substantial cut. If you can go on a vacation, great, but there are single parents and low-income families and they have to increase their costs and find daycare and they’re the ones being downloaded on.” Olsen said the blame falls squarely on the provincial government’s underfunding of education. “They’ve got to find ways to pay for the Olympics and the executives’ big salaries, and I just don’t think it’s fair. We put on a great show for the world, but meanwhile, we’re making cuts to education.” Schools will close for spring break on March 18, reopening April 4. The 2010/11 school year will provide students with 180 days of instruction. To make up for the shortfall in classroom time, four minutes per day will be added to the kindergarten day; eight minutes per day at the elementary level; and nine minutes at the secondary level.

Celebrating our hyphens
I
read an article the other day with interest on how the population of mixed marriages and unions in Canada, and B.C. in particular, has been rising. New information from Statistics Canada has Vancouver as the leader of mixed ethnicity couples and marriages in the country, and the rest of the province isn’t far behind. This is no surprise considering the amount of diverse cultures we have in this relatively new nation of ours, where being a multi-generational Canadian still means you had to come from Kristin Froneman somewhere else originally, save for our aboriginal population. Those of us with European heritage, as well as the many Asians who helped build this nation, are just part of the mosaic that has blended with new immigrants from every corner of the world. And due to the unions that have formed, our children will have numerous hyphens in front of their identity. Let’s see, with my Anglo-Saxon-IrishGerman-Afrikaans heritage, I am about fifth generation Canadian on my mother’s side, and a second generation Canadian on my father’s side. And I married an Aussie, who could be a descendent of criminals for all I know, but more likely, has the same Anglo-Saxon-mishmash as me. Our mixed union is centered more around religious background. He’s Catholic, and I am non-denominational, although I had a great aunt who was a nun, as my maternal grandfather came from a staunch, but fun loving Irish-Catholic family. And my maternal grandmother came from an even more staunch, not so fun-loving Evangelical side. (And you can imagine how happy everyone was when these two broke all the “rules.”) With varying cultures comes different reli-
AT RANDOM
gions, and that’s where things can get a little tricky, especially when it comes to the actual wedding. Many couples are going to the expense of putting on two weddings that respect each individual’s religious background. Throw children into the equation, then even more questions come up: what religion will they follow, whether to circumcise or not, what kind of schooling will they have...? Most couples come to a compromise, but in some cases, one has made the choice to convert to the other’s religion, which, of course, should be a well thought-out personal choice. There is also the question of identity. In the four-part series, Mixed Blessings, on CBC Radio’s The Current, the grown children of mixed unions discuss their identity issues. Using celebrity to get the point across (and an unfortunate photo of a once happy Tiger Woods, who is of Filipino-African American descent, with his estranged wife, Elin from Sweden, holding one of their babies), documentarian Anne-Marie Nakagawa says people are going to have to re-think what it means to be Canadian. “I think in 20 years we won’t be thinking the person in the ‘I Am Canadian’ beer commercial is necessarily someone of European descent. At least I hope not,” she exclaimed. Our population as a whole is changing, and those with xenophobia are going to have to get used to it. I laughed and winced, when my friend, who was dating an African-Canadian at the time, was told by her mother that Canada was letting in too many immigrants. My friend had to remind her British-born mother that she too had once been an immigrant to this country, and that her boyfriend’s parents had both been born in Canada. Canadians come in all colours, creeds and creators. And when you really think about it, that’s what makes us uniquely Canadian. It gives us an identity, if you will. It’s time we all celebrated our hyphens.
Let the debate begin. Some may question Lumby’s mayor and council pursuing the idea of adding a correctional centre to its list of inhabitants, but then again, as someone wise once said, nothing ventured, nothing gained. The village has benefitted from the good times of forestry, once boasting being the home of five sawmills. They are no more and not likely to return, ever. Lumby has looked at various ways to diversify its economy, including a back road to Silver Star that doesn’t seem any closer to a reality all these years later thanks to a lack of government funds. So, knowing that the Interior is still in need of a two-yearsless-a-day facility after the province first announced one to be built in North Kelowna in early 2008 and then promptly cancelled it due to opposition, Lumby’s government saw an opportunity. The need is still there, the funding should still be there and we’re talking about 70 direct, well-paid jobs for a community. Of course there are issues to be discussed at length, that process starts now, but no one can fault council for checking into the possibility of a prison being a good fit for Lumby. This very well may lead nowhere. But it also could lead to something real and tangible and positive for the village. The people can help decide that by letting their representatives know how they feel. However, in this age where we constantly urge our elected officials to actually lead and be progressive, and not to be simply reactionary, we applaud Lumby council on their sense of initiative.

Minister defends new licenses
T
he May 8 editorial (“Meat rule changes insufficient”) inaccurately portrays the province’s recent improvements to B.C.’s Meat Inspection Regulations (MIR) as being discriminatory. As well, it is incorrect in the claim that on-farm slaughter and direct sales won’t be allowed in the North Okanagan. In fact, one of the new facility classes – Class E – is an option for the North Okanagan Regional District (NORD) that can address many of the concerns local residents have raised. These licences will be available later this summer, and will be considered in areas where there is a demonstrated need for additional slaughter capacity. In the Okanagan, there are currently six provincially licensed abattoirs within a 100-kilometre radius of Vernon – one in Enderby (Class A – red meat), two in GOOD SAMARITANS It never ceases to amaze me. On April 11, Kelly (a local realtor) was in her truck driving to an open house. She was stopped at the intersection of 32nd Street and 43rd Avenue. There was a pedestrian yelling and pointing at a truck that was pulling a boat. She looked over and to her utter horror; she saw a body underneath the boat trailer. Kelly pulled over and immediately secured the scene of the accident. The driver of the truck was already on the phone calling for help. He was obviously shaken but bravely put that aside for the moment and followed Kelly’s direction in assisting her by getting a blanket and first aid kit from the back of her vehicle. This enabled Kelly to deliver immediate first aid. Always present in the back of Kelly’s truck is all the first aid and medical supplies one would find in many well-equipped emergency vehicles. She threw down her keys and got right in there under the boat trailer where the victim lay. He had obviously been dragged underneath for some distance. When the other emergency vehicles arrived, Kelly stayed on to assist until the victim was on his way to the hospital. She stood up, brushed herself off, picked

up her keys and went to show her open house. Kelly is a member of Vernon Search and Rescue and the regional director for BC Search and Rescue (SAR). Because of this, she is highly trained in first aid and very competent in dealing with many emergency situations; In fact, she’s so qualified she’s vulnerable. Arguably, she is no longer assured protection under the Good Samaritan Act (a legal principle that prevents a rescuer who has voluntarily helped a victim in distress from being successfully sued for 'wrongdoing’). At some point in the future it is almost inevitable that the issue of compensation for damages to the victim will arise. I understand that the provincial government covered all British Columbia SAR groups’ liability insurance in 2009 but hasn’t yet decided whether they want to commit the same for 2010 or beyond. Why not? I also understand that coverage excludes the members who are on the Board of Directors. That means the moment Kelly got out of her vehicle to assist; she risked the potential of becoming personally liable. This doesn’t stop her but it is unconscionable that she or anyone in that position face this kind of risk.

The members of Search and Rescue are all volunteers. They’re on call 24/7. They are trained to go where no one else will go to search, rescue or recover people. They work closely with all the emergency crews which include the RCMP, fire department and paramedics. The RCMP and fire department also rely on their own equally amazing and dedicated volunteers. No doubt they too face risks and challenges. I want to take this opportunity to thank and acknowledge all the volunteers at Vernon Search and Rescue, Vernon Fire Department and Vernon RCMP. I’m not sure why our local media don’t find these stories newsworthy! How will we, the citizens that benefit so greatly because of them, ever know how much they do for us and at what cost to them? More importantly what is it we can do to support, encourage and feasibly assist them to continue. Gayle Wilson TAX TROUBLE Our fearless leaders are closing schools and laying off staff of various departments. All the while about to pass a harmonized sales tax. Here's a suggestion that will be ignored, the reason being that most
politicians are chamber of commerce types. They like to get their picture in the paper as often as possible, always with a big smile on their face. But why not scrap all sales tax and implement a land tax like a county in Pennsylvania that Maclean's wrote about in 1971, when they warned of social consequences if the price of land wasn't brought under control? This county does not tax buildings or building materials. They tax only the land based on its current market value — residential five per cent, agricultural one per cent and commercial 10 per cent. In 100 years, in constant dollars, land was the same price. Now, even in a small city like Vernon we are seeing building lots at 1,000 times what they were in 1959. All politicians and professional people are being paid 35 to 40 times what they were in 1959. Gold is about 35 times what it was in 1959. Now we notice that the minimum wage is only about 18 times what it was in 1959. Social consequences are piling up. You may notice it cost about 15 times what it did in 1959 to build a house and a house today is a much better house than it was in 1959. Homeless people, food banks. It takes one-fifth of the workers it did in 1959 to produce 1,000 board feet
of lumber. And all the heavy equipment is built in some other country. So the next time people go to the polls, ponder this — would you pay $2,000 for a saxophone made of tin and painted gold? Roy Koch

the unlikelihood that a Class A or B facility could be established in those areas. As these are regions with small populations and low numbers of animals, it is unlikely that a Class A or B plant would be economically viable. These are also areas with geographies that make animal transport particularly difficult. Class D licenses are not available in the NORD as it does not face these challenges in the same way as the designated rural and remote areas of B.C. The province designed these new licenses with a considerable amount of hard work, thought and consultation. Protecting the health and safety of all British Columbians through the MIR will continue to remain a significant priority for government. Ida Chong, FCGA Minister of Healthy Living and Sport

Highway work a concern RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Enderby merchants want assurances that highway construction won’t force business off course. City council received a position paper Monday from the Enderby Chamber of Commerce about the potential impact upgrades to Highway 97A could have on business owners on adjacent Cliff Avenue. “A lot of the businesses on main street depend on drive-by traffic — traffic going to Mabel Lake,” said Mayor Dee Wejr. The goal of construction is to improve traffic flow on Highway 97A (also known as George Street), but the chamber says the work could create challenges for Cliff Avenue shops. “As mayor and council proceed with the task of accommodating the George Street changes,
“We want to take a look at what we can do for them.” — Dee Wejr I ask that the positions discussed in this paper be given serious consideration,” said Tate Bengston, chamber executive director, in a letter to council. “You have a downtown business core which is eager to partner with you to mitigate any loss caused by the George Street upgrades and, ultimately, to revitalize the downtown core.” The position paper states there are opportunities to manage risks and turn the highway changes into a revitalization initiative. The opportunities include attracting and retaining businesses in
the downtown core, and attracting customers. “Tax reductions, targeted business attractions, removing barriers to investment and a shopping centre policy were identified as key drivers for attracting and retaining businesses,” states the paper. “Developing attractive focal points to capture the attention of highway traffic, improving decaying infrastructure, improving highway signage indicating free parking and the location of shopping opportunities, investing in amenities such as public washrooms, increasing parking and developing a theme or a
brand were identified as key drivers in attracting customers.” The chamber wants the city to work with the provincial government on the proposed actions, and Wejr believes that’s possible. “We want to take a look at what we can do for them,” she said. We jr hopes the Ministry of Transportation won’t start construction in July or August. “Our traffic through Enderby during those two months is huge,” she said.

However, ORL will repay the principal and pay the interest, fees and financing, and costsharing will be done by the entire library district, which goes from Golden to Osoyoos and Princeton. ORL has already put aside some money for the project and it’s anticipated the additional annual capital and operating costs will be 50 cents to $1 per year for the average residence in the entire ORL service region. The deadline for receiving voter responses through the petition process will be July 5 at

It’s been determined that there are about 63,552 voters within NORD so a minimum of 6,355 names (or 10 per cent) would be needed on a petition to block borrowing. “It’s an excellent project but it doesn’t mean people can’t oppose it,” said Nicol. Nicol believes a new

Conservation officers seek old lifejackets Morning Star Staff
Residents with old lifejackets piling up in a shed or closet could help protect a child’s life. The Ministry of Environment’s Vernon office is seeking donations of used lifejackets so they can be passed on to underprivileged children and families. “They (jackets) will be certified to make sure they meet requirements,” said Josh Lockwood, conservation officer.
“They will be handed out to inner city aboriginal youth who can least afford them.” Lockwood says he’s concerned about children being near lakes, creeks and pools without lifejackets because parents can’t afford to purchase one. “We want jackets appropriate to the size of the individuals,” said Lockwood. Used lifejackets can be dropped off at the Ministry of Environment office at 4607 23rd St. in Vernon.

Projects proceed KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
With the cancellation of the annual facilities grant last year, many projects were put on hold by the Vernon School District. At Tuesday’s district board meeting, secretary-treasurer Randy Hoffman said this fiscal year will see the district manage $1,200,000 for small capital projects. “A major focus this year is to start projects that were deferred last year due to provincial funding freeze,� he said. “Trustees are reminded that this grant has been provided for the period April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011, and we remain hopeful the program will continue beyond that date.� The district received 50 per cent of the funds March 31, with the ministry indicating that the remaining 50 per cent of the money will be provided by June 30 and/or on a consumed basis based on projected cash flow. “Lastly, all districts have been allocated a share of the cost of the Capital Asset Management Services (CAMS) program to develop assessment infor-
mation for all school and schoolrelated facilities,� said Hoffman. “Our share of the $3 million cost in 2010/2011 is $45,726.� With the summer approaching, the district is hoping to undertake a number of projects. Major roofing will take place at BX and Cherryville, with minor roofing at other schools. BX elementary will have its fixtures replaced to become more energy-efficient. Carpet and linoleum will continue to be replaced with tiles at Alexis Park, BX, Hillview, JW Inglis, Mission Hill and Seaton. In addition, interior and exterior painting will be done at several schools, mechanical upgrades will be done at Kidston, and duct cleaning at Okanagan Landing. Exterior and interior upgrades will be completed at a number of schools, including the lockers and washrooms at Charles Bloom, Fulton and Hillview. Some limited site work will be done at Harwood for asphalt and irrigation requirements.

Lake Country police are on the hunt for a stolen travel trailer. A resident discovered that his $20,000 travel trailer was taken out of his driveway, in the 1300 block of Eastridge Dr., May 6. The 22-foot trailer, called an Arctic Fox, was taken right off the blocks it was sitting on sometime during the night. The trailer is described as having white fiberglass sides with striping on all four sides. It is a tandem axle and has a ladder on the back and a roof rack at the rear. It has graphics of a fox head and tail on all four sides. There are windows on the front and rear of the trailer and it has checkerplate aluminum on the front and on the rear bumper, and has a large, articulating grab bar to the left of the entry door. Anyone with information on this theft is asked to call the Lake Country RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

News Rabies risk rises in spring season Morning Star Staff
The upcoming long weekend means more people are outside enjoying the warmer weather and opening summer cabins. This warm weather can also mean increased risk of contact with bats, which are the primary carrier of the rabies virus in B.C. So, if you’re going to be outside this weekend and throughout the summer months, the Interior Health Authority is reminding people to avoid contact with bats. Between four to eight per cent of bats that come into contact with people and are tested in B.C are positive for the rabies virus. So it is important that people stay away from touching live or dead bats and for parents to remind their children not to play with or touch bats. IHA also recommends bat-proofing your home or cabin, as bats can fly into poorly sealed cabins and homes, or roost in attic spaces. Domestic pets such as dogs, cats or ferrets that were born and raised in B.C. pose a very low risk of transmitting rabies to humans. Vaccinating your pets will protect them from rabies. Last year, about 150 people were treated in BC for potential exposure to rabies. Treatment is most effective when administered soon after exposure. Without vaccination to prevent its onset, rabies is almost always fatal. Bats have tiny sharp teeth and claws, so scratches or bites to people from handling are not always visible. It usually takes weeks or even months for symptoms to appear. Anyone who has handled a bat should contact their public health unit or their physician for an assessment.

McHappy Day hits $18,000 mark
FOOD MARKET
Morning Star Staff
McDonald’s Restaurant’s 17th annual McHappy Day raised more than $18,000 for the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs on May 5. Thirteen McDonald’s Restaurant locations from Summerland to Armstrong took $1 from the sale of every McMuffin sandwich, Big Mac sandwich and Happy Meal along with silent auctions, donations and other fundraisers to help raise the money in support of Okanagan Boys and Girls Club. Children and staff of the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs along with local community leaders, emergency services staff, media and celebrity guests worked alongside McDonald’s staff throughout the day in support of the event. Proceeds from McHappy Day will be used by Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs to replace wornout sporting equipment as well as to help send children to summer camp at Camp ArrowFlight, an 82-acre outdoor residential camp outside of Armstrong. Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs allow all kids to participate regardless of ability to pay and money raised through fundraising initiatives such as McHappy Day is vital to ensure clubs are able to continue providing low- or no-cost recreation programs for youth. Since its inception in 1977, McHappy Day has raised more than $28 million for Canadian children. For more than 50 years, Boys and Girls Clubs have allowed youth to develop positive relationships with peers, family, teachers and the commu-
nity. Clubs offer programs in physical recreation, technology, the arts, and personal growth. Many clubs also provide meals, emergency shelter, family support programs and other support to children, youth and families at risk. The Boys and Girls Club mission is to provide a good place to be — regardless of their circumstances — for children, youth and families across the Okanagan.

Province lays out action to combat water shortage JUDIE STEEVES Black Press
The provincial government has presented its plans for handling this year’s drought conditions in the Okanagan. Conrad Pryce, section head for water allocation with the environment ministry, admits communication is key to success of any program for handling the water shortage that is inevitable this year for some water utilities. He says planning for drought has begun much earlier this year than last year, which will be helpful, but already the Greater Vernon water utility implemented stage three water use restrictions in response to very low snowpacks and low reservoirs of stored water. Stage three means domestic customers may only irrigate one day a week, and nonessential outside water use such as to control dust or clean out gutters is prohibited. Failure to comply will result in water being shut off. Pryce said a team concept will be used for drought planning by the province, with the involvement of First Nations, the ministries of agriculture and environment, the federal fisheries department, local government, water utilities, agricultural associations and the Okanagan Basin Water Board. A similar team was set up last summer to plan for last year’s drought, and it has just won the premier’s award for cross government integration, noted Pryce. That team will identify key streams and monitor water lev-
els and affected users; communicate and issue regulatory orders, if
necessary. Flows to ensure fish habitat is protected
and agricultural concerns will be taken into account, he said.
“Collaboration is essential.� The drought man-
agement plan will be evaluated on an ongoing basis, and if more
resources are needed, they will be added, he said.

Courvas topple Timber Morning Star Staff
The streak is over for North Enderby Timber. NET had their winning ways stopped at four games Wednesday night in a 5-3 North Okanagan Men's Soccer League loss to host Courvas in Salmon Arm. The defending champion Courvas netted the winner with 12 minutes remaining, a shot just getting past the fingertips of NET keeper Danny Stein. The Timber led 3-1 early in the second half before Courvas amped up their offence. Jobie Waughman, home after another season of university soccer with the St. Charles Lions in St. Louis, opened the NET scoring on a 20-yard hit through traffic. Brodie Couch tapped in the Timber's second goal on a scramble after a cross from Brent Paulsen. Kyle Halvorson buried the ball after some great solo work by Cory Wallis for NET's other goal. The Nation of Domination Eagle Homes scored in the final minute off a 10-yard indirect kick to clip Monashee Surveying 3-2 at Marshall Field #2. Chandler Brandle gave the Surveyors a

Concept Physio’s Edwin Cruz (left) tracks down a loose ball with Kal Sports Bar’s Dave Schmidt (middle) and Logan Massie on his heels in men’s soccer action Tuesday night at Marshall Field. 1-0 halftime lead after he took a pass from Jay Aarsen and neatly chipped the ball over the Eagle Homes' keeper. Devon Marriott scored the other Monashee goal when he took a feed from Sam Pantaleo on the right side, spun left, and blasted a low shot to the left side of the net from the top of the 18. The expansion Kal Sports Bar used two late goals to clip Concept Physio 4-3 at Marshall #4. Alex McDougall beat a few tackles to get
Concept on the board, while Eric Ius headed in a corner by newbie Ben Osborn to make it 2-2. Osborn put Concept up 3-2 on a penalty kick. In Revelstoke, the host Stallions shut down the Davidson Dynamite 2-0 in a highly spirited and physical affair. Revelstoke recorded their goals in the last 15 minutes. The winner came off a broken play where a Revelstoke player somehow was able to save a ball from two feet out of bounds on the end line to hit his teammate,
who then hit a low shot to beat Dynamite keeper Ean Ross. Revelstoke's second goal came from the wing with what seemed to be a cross that hit the back end of the net as Ross tried to make his way from the front post to the back post. Meanwhile, the 31st annual Vernon National Oldtimers Soccer Tournament goes this weekend with a record 65 teams in seven divisions battling for more than $10,000 in prize money. Tourney chairman Wayne Aasen has, for the first time, added a men's 55+ division to accommodate South Hill F.C. of Richmond, who have made all previous 30 events. They won the George Stein Memorial Triple S Award last year for skill, sportsmanship and support of the tourney. The Vernon Masters, headed by Tim Penaluna, Richmond Pioneers and Stari Prdaci of Edmonton, will join South Hill in the 55+ category. Vernon opens Saturday at noon (MacDonald Park) versus Stari Prdaci. The Vernon Old Boys, headed by Ted Sheehan, are one of 12 teams in the men's 50+ group. They begin play Saturday at 10:30 a.m. (Marshall 1) against Surrey Polonia. There are also a dozen entries in men's 45+, including perennial favourites Peach Arch of White Rock and Mission F.C. The men's 40+ division has six entries, while the men's 35+ grouping features a dozen teams, including six from Calgary. There are 19 women's teams, including seven in 40+, where North Okanagan United is the lone local entry. The finals are all scheduled for Monday at both MacDonald Park and Marshall Field between 9 a.m. and noon. First place is worth $600 with the runner-ups earning $400.
Maroons secure berth to rugby provincials in Kamloops Morning Star Staff
The Fulton Maroons have guaranteed themselves a berth in the B.C. High School Senior AA Boys Rugby Championships, starting May 29 in Kamloops. With a top-three Okanagan seed secured, the Maroons faced the host Kelowna Christian Knights Thursday for the Valley crown. They advanced to the final by icing the host NorKam Saints 22-10 in a soggy semifinal Tuesday afternoon. The two teams were evenly matched, which resulted in a grinding back-and-forth battle from the opening kick. “Both forward packs contested eagerly at the rucks and it was quite a seesaw battle for the first few minutes,” said Maroons’ head coach Rick Smith. Fulton’s forwards provided the opening points as they took a lineout ball from the five-metre and mauled it in for a try. Flanker Damon Souque scored underneath the pile, and Cam Smith, returning from a five-week absence due to
a shoulder injury, nailed the conversion to make it 7-0. The Maroons kept the pressure up with some tactical play in the backfield, resulting in rookie Kyle Richardson scoring in the corner. The Saints responded with some solid pressure, only to be denied by some stingy Fulton defence on the doorstep. The Maroons then looked to march downfield just before halftime, but an errant pass went directly to a sprinting Saints’ centre, who ran the ball for an easy try under the posts. The Maroons led 12-10 at the half. With slippery conditions continuing in the second half, both teams had trouble maintaining possession. At the 15-minute mark, winger Nic Pantaleo scored his first try of the game with Fulton now leading 17-10. NorKam kept pressing, though, generating four opportunities inside the five-metre, only to be denied by the Maroon defenders. Fulton used tactical kicks to advance downfield, with Pantaleo running in his second try to complete the

Maroons’ scoring. “The Saints played us hard and didn’t let up at anytime during the game,” said Smith. “We had a couple of long runs which should have resulted in tries being scored, but good pursuit by their backs stopped us short of the line, twice.” In junior boys rugby action, the Kalamalka Lakers advanced to the Valley semifinals by pummelling the Brocklehurst Broncos of Kamloops 39-14 in quarterfinal play Tuesday afternoon. “The first half was pretty tight, but the boys found their legs in the second,” said Kal head coach Brad Marsh. “It was wet, mucky conditions, so they simplified their game. Marsh praised his squad’s unselfish play and credited the forwards delivering clean ball for the backs. “It truly was a collective team effort... and our backs were just too much for the other team to contend with,” he said. Kal hosted the Pen-Hi Lakers in a Thursday semi. The championship game goes Wednesday (location TBA).

Little Tex gals get ‘er done Morning Star Staff
The Little Tex Outlaws brushed back TED United of Salmon Arm 3-2 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Competitive Division action Tuesday night at Marshall Field #3. Emma Dolcetti, Stephanie Gourlie and Monica Nielson scored as the Outlaws improved to 4-1 in the first-place showdown. United fell to 4-1. Gineil Ferrier had an outstanding game in net for Little Tex, who got strong defensive play from Jen Knopp and Lindsay Lee. Jessa Joles set up many plays in the midfield and had a great game, while Dolcetti was stellar on the forward line, setting up many scoring opportunities and putting herself in position for numerous shots on net. The AF Blazers and Dr. Lee Dental Clinic/ Checkers showed up at Marshall #1, but found no referee. The teams played to a 3-3 friendly scrimmage and will reschedule the game. There was no score reported from the NET Celtics and the Fusion. In Masters play, under nasty, wet field conditions complete with cones to warn players of the sprinkler heads, Setter’s Pub of Salmon Arm clipped visiting North Okanagan United 4-3. NOU controlled the game from the kick-off. Relaxed passing and no-panic ball helped the ladies
feed the ball up the sidelines. United’s first goal was supplied by crafty Andrea Zubot, who did what she does well, holding the ball with authority and unleashing big shot that bent in high and over the keeper’s head. On goal two, a herd of players gathered in front of the net off a corner from Zubot. (Lean) Lena Dean was in position to convert the rebound. The final NOU goal came from Char McNaught, who played with intensity and zest as she battled her way into the crease for the tally. Sue Barss made many stellar saves in the high waters inside the crease for NOU (1-3-1). Setter’s improved to 4-1. “Special mention to own-goal scorer Carla Gibson,” said NOU veteran Shelly Johnston. “It was a fantastic goal. Perhaps one day she can use that skill for the opposing team.” The Okanagan Impact brushed back Goplen’s Drillers 3-0 at Marshall #5. The Impact are 5-0, while the Drillers are 2-2. No details were reported. The Chick Kickers blanked Monashee’s Pub 2-0 at Marshall Field #4. The Kickers went to 4-0, Monashee’s to 0-4. No details were provided. No score was available from the Tillicum Controllers-Shuswap Kaos game scheduled for Salmon Arm.

Combat chess for Davidson MARTHA WICKETT Black Press Sports
To some people, it’s brutal and savage. To others, it’s exciting entertainment. To one former Salmon Arm resident, it’s a source of joy. Clay Davidson has launched a career in mixed martial arts (MMA), a full contact combat sport where opponents enclosed in a cage use both striking and grappling techniques to dominate. He will be featured on tonight’s Aggression MMA 3 card at Wesbild Centre (7:30). Davidson knows how to win. With six fights to his credit since 2007, he’s only lost one, the first. “Being a submission artist is definitely my strength, but I’m trying to work on all my areas,” he said. “With mixed martial arts, you have to be well-rounded. I’m working on my striking and my wrestling.” His record shows he’s won fights using both choke holds and joint locks. A former hockey goalie and the son of Gary Davidson, former owner of the SilverBacks Junior A hockey team, Davidson says MMA does for him what hockey couldn’t. “What the sport has done for me, it’s immeasurable. Once I quit playing hockey, it kept me on the straight and narrow. I’m 10 times happier.” He explains that, post-hockey, he started training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Grindrod for about six months. “I decided to clean up my life, quit drinking, quit partying. I found an outlet, I had lots of time and enjoyed working out. I fought lots as a kid, being a bit of a bad kid. In the six months, I had some success and wanted to do MMA fighting.” He says MMA is extremely intense, both physically and mentally. “What we do for five minutes, you’re pushing as hard as you can. It’s just about being mentally strong. It’s almost like a physical chess game. You find your opponent’s weaknesses or strengths. We study

Clay Davidson will battle in a feature bout at Aggression MMA 3 tonight at Wesbild Centre. our opponents, where we might have our best chance at beating them.” While the beatings look brutal, Davidson says he doesn’t see it that way. “We all love the sport. I’m best buddies with the guys after the fight. Once you’re in there, it’s the love to compete. My teammates are all my best friends, my family, and we beat the tar out of each other every day. It’s hard to understand, and to us it makes total sense. It brings me so much joy and happiness. As strange as that seems, I can’t wait to get my hands on other guys.” At 32, he says his body’s holding up well. “We’re always banged up and hurt... I have some pretty bad cauliflower ears. I love the sport so much, it’s a small price to pay.” He says he hasn’t seen people get seriously hurt. “I think it happens. There are way more concussions in hockey. If you spend any time in hockey, you see brain injury after brain injury after brain injury. With us,
there’s one a month. With junior hockey, 10 a month.” Rather than foster violence, he thinks MMA does the opposite – and he’d rather see young people take to the cage to solve their differences. “The reason I like it, you both know the rules. There’s a referee. That’s how it should be done. Not on the street, one guy with a knife and one with a bat. If they came in and trained with us, they would see what tough is all about.” And is the Kelowna-based athlete scared heading into the Vernon fight? “Yeah, definitely, but mostly fear of losing. I make twice as much if I win. I just want to go in and do well. It’s a little bit scary but I’m fighting with the baddest dudes around with my training partners every day.” Aggression, an Edmonton-based fight organization, looks to have assembled a solid card for tonight. In the main event, middleweight Craig (Farmer) Brown will face one of B.C.’s top fighters in the talented Nick Hinchliffe. In the semi-main event, undefeated fighters Graham Spencer and Mike Adams will put their 5-0 records on the line. Ultimate Fighting Championship fan favourite Kenny Florian will be in attendance, signing autographs and taking photos with fans. Other match-ups include Rob Bastone (2-1) vs Chris Jones (1-0); Cody Poulson (0-0) vs Connor Ridell (0-1); Phil Wark (1-1) vs Chris Leslie (1-1-1); Darcy James (3-1) vs Dia Grant (0-3); Brandon Frost (2-2) vs Matt Cashman (0-0); Lori Ann Hilland (0-0) vs Rachael Swatze (1-1); Ethan Owusu (2-0) vs Dave Logen (0-4); Russel Davis (1-0) vs Upneet Rai (1-1); Nolan Clark (4-7) vs David Perron (2-0); Rob Fawcett (0-0) vs Leif Optialand (1-2); Brian Coldwell (2-1) vs Marcus Hicks (10-20).

T-Bird tandem take honours GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Ryan Kakoske and Matt Schneider were two bright spots in an otherwise gloomy year for the UBC Thunderbirds men’s hockey team. After a successful CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) playoff run in 200809 – the T-Birds surprised the Lethbridge Pronhorns in the first round before falling to the Saskatchewan Huskies in the second – Kakoske, a Vernon Viper grad who earned Most Improved Player with the T-Birds, said UBC was looking forward to riding that momentum into this season. But after racing out to a 3-1 start that saw UBC reach No. 9 in the national rankings, they plummeted, finishing last in Canada West at 8-20-1. “On a personal level, I was happy with my performance. As a team, it was a little bit of a letdown. We just ran into trouble and never really recovered,” said Kakoske, a stay-at-home blueliner whose younger brother, Bryce, recently helped the Vipers win back-to-back Royal Bank Cup titles. On his award, Kakoske, a second-year commerce student added: “I guess the Most Improved award stems from us struggling earlier in the season and I tried to modify my game to be a little more offensive.” Schneider, a 6-foot-6, 225-pound pivot in his fourth year with the T-Birds, earned both the MVP and Most Inspirational Player awards. On a personal level, he says it was a bit of a turnaround season that reinvigorated his passion for the game. “I started off not playing much and then a guy got injured and I got bumped up to the second line and I just kind of ran with it,” said Schneider, 24. “It gave me some enthusiasm back for hockey.” Kakoske wasn’t surprised to see Schneider, who posted 18 points in 28 games while serving as an alternate captain, haul in those awards. “He put up some good numbers in the Western League (52 goals for 91 points in 199 career games with the Tri-City Americans), and the boys just really respect him. “He’s a big body and he uses his size well up the middle. And he’s probably our best student athlete,” said Kakoske, who recorded 1-3-4 and 34 penalty min-

After he bowed out of the WHL playoffs with the Portland Winter Hawks, the Canucks assigned Stefan to the AHL Manitoba Moose, where he practised with the team but did not play. “It kind of came out of nowhere,” said Schneider, adding Stefan had interest from the San Jose Sharks earlier in the season, but heard nothing from the Canucks until they approached him in March. “Within a week he got signed.” Schneider went to Pacific Coliseum to watch Stefan, a two-way centreman, play in the Western Conference semifinals against the Vancouver Giants (Vancouver won the series 4-2). He hadn’t seen his brother play for three years. “He played a big role on that team. It’s weird seeing your little brother all grown up.

A total of 450 riders competed in three races, including the signature Salty Dog six-hour enduro. Another 150 raced in the U15 and Salty Pup events. Solo riders or teams of two raced to complete as many laps as possible in six hours under a mix of sun and cloud with occasional rain. Cindy Garvin of the North Okanagan Cycling Society finished five laps (52.3 kilometres) and placed fourth in the solo women 40+ category. Brock Garvin went six laps and placed 37th in a field of 56 men in the 40+ solo division, while Jordan Grasby completed six laps for 48th spot amongst 84 in the U40 solo men’s group. Andrew Sellars turned in eight laps and placed second out of 26 teams in the Mixed Team 71+ category. Marjorie Lauzon made her debut in the solo division and turned in six consistent laps.

Jays take swing at semi-pro Semi-pro baseball has returned to the Okanagan. The Kelowna Jays will begin play in the Pacific International League Sunday when they host the Coquitlam A’s for a doubleheader at Elks Stadium (1 p.m.). The Jays will play 20 regular-season games in the 10-team loop which also features teams in Everett, Seattle, Bellevue, Langley, Kamloops, two in Burnaby and Nanaimo. Kelowna has previously fielded teams in the PIL – the Grizzlies from 1993 to 2000, and the Falcons from 2001 to 2004. The Falcons have been playing in the West Coast League since 2005. As for the Jays, the local club will also continue to be part-time members of the Okanagan Major Baseball League. Jays’ head coach Geoff White said a return to the PIL is a step ahead for local baseball talent. “The local teams in the valley just didn’t provide the competition we wanted to develop our players, specifically our college talent,” said White. “We’ve played some exhibition games over the years against PIL teams and we think it’s a good fit and a good way for our players to improve.”

Thunder roll fifth Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Thunder surpassed all expectations as they claimed fifth place at the Canadian Under 18 Girls Open National Volleyball Championships last weekend in Abbotsford. Ranked 35th out of the 40 Division 2 teams heading into the competition, the Thunder strung together some of their best volleyball of the season at precisely the right time. The Thunder came out strong in Friday’s pool play, starting with a come-from-behind victory over Vancouver’s Apex Giants (13-25, 27-25, 17-15). Player of the Game Helena Kemper led Thunder with strong attacking from the middle, off precision setting from Andrea Marshall and Nicole Baker. Vernon then rolled Northwest Territories’ Crush, 25-17 and 25-22, with defensive specialists Nicole Mintz and Taryn Zabolotniuk earning POG honours for stellar defensive coverage. Vernon won their pool with a three-set win over Okotoks (13-25, 25-23, 15-13). Middle hitter Brittany Schroeder and left side Larissa Baranow, provided key blocks. In Saturday’s draw, Thunder swept Fraser Valley Crash (27-25, 25-17). Breanna Hartley paced the offence with seven service points. Left side Erin McKusick earned seven kills and one ace, and Kemper chipped in with three aces. Thunder then upended the favoured Winnipeg Blazers (20-25, 25-18, 15-12). Chaylee Ross led the charge with 11 kills, Laura Goplen played exceptional defence and provided key kills at power, and Erika Francis added seven service points. Vernon ended the day by falling in three sets to Seaside of White Rock (18-25, 25-11, 13-15). Goplen, Schroeder, Kemper, and Ross led the attack, while Marshall and Baker platooned at setter. In Sunday’s Tier 1 quarterfinal, Thunder fell in straight sets to a balanced Lethbridge squad (12-25, 16-25). Vernon came out with focus and intensity, but could not solve the solid defensive play from the Alberta team. “We are very proud of the girls, not only for their play, but for their solid desire to work hard and improve their game in order to take it to the next level,” said Pat Neilson, who co-coaches the Thunder with Chris Bannick. “They were an awesome group of girls to coach and finished off their youth volleyball career peaking at the right time.”

T-Wolves grounded GREG SABATINO Black Press
Three owners, disagreements, financial issues, suspension. This is the process that led to the Williams Lake Timberwolves junior ‘A’ franchise’s second suspension in less than a decade. With a B.C. Hockey League announcement Tuesday afternoon stating the Timberwolves had been suspended for the 2010-11 season, minority owner Richard Kohlen told Black Press Wednesday about the issues the club faced last season. “As many people know around town, we had some ownership issues with the franchise,” Kohlen said. “Since the end of the season we tried to remedy those issues, but the way the current ownership was, it was clear the franchise couldn’t function.” The league’s board of governors voted to designate the Timberwolves as a “member not in good standing” within the BCHL and, as a result, they will not take part in the upcoming season. “That meant that we weren’t able to meet our financial obligation to the league with respect to dues,” Kohlen said, adding the balance would have been around $18,000. “It got to a point where it was too critical with respect to the players. So, unfortunately, that’s the way it was. The league allowed us a certain amount of time and we couldn’t meet the deadline.”

Players released Continued from A26 Kohlen points to a difference in opinions on how the franchise should operate between the two minority owners – himself and David Pocock – and majority owner John Wright as the root of the team’s financial difficulties. To date, the minority shareholders have not received any banking information since June of 2009, Kohlen said. Kohlen said players will most likely be released by the league and become eligible to play wherever they want; however, a BCHL vote will dictate whether or not a dispersal draft will take place. “Our first priority was to the players, to make sure they had the ability to move on,” Kohlen said. “Now, we’re focusing on making sure that there’s no debt left in town. We’ll be working through that, and it will be a process, but I don’t see it being something we won’t be able to achieve.”

Car show benefits Vernon Jubilee BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
Muscle cars, souped-up imports and collector automobiles will be on display May 29 at a car show fundraiser for the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. Split Decision Motor Sports is hosting a Charity Show and Shine at their new location at 6302 Stickle Road, across the street from Squires Four Pub. Shane Campbell, co-owner of Split Decision, is organizing the event and expects between 100 and 150 cars to show up. It’s his company’s way of thanking the community for its support since he moved to Vernon a year ago. “Our major thing is even through the recession, the people of Vernon kept us busy,” he said. “It means a lot, that’s why we would like to give something back.” Campbell saw the hospital and its push to outfit a new tower as a worthy effort to contribute to. “Everyone is going to have to use the hospital sooner or later,” he said. “That’s why we went that way.” A car aficionado and race enthusiast, Campbell participates in King of the Hill races at MotoPlex Speedway and Events Park. He’s been able to attract

about 25 sponsors to help put on the car show and that’s gathered some impressive items that will be up for bids at the car show’s silent auction. There will also be raffles and food and drink for visitors. Through food sales, the auction and donations, Campbell is hoping to raise $10,000. He may host a show and shine again next year if there’s a good turnout. “If this one is a success, we want to do it annually,” he said. Anyone who has a car they’d like to show can pre-register by calling 250-260-5970. Registration on the day of the event begins at 9 a.m.

Scotiabank chips in for science ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
New and exciting themes highlight the annual Scotiabank Summer of Science camps at the Okanagan Science Centre. Local branches banded together to donate $5,000 toward the camps, which will introduce themes such as robotics with Lego Mindstorms, Myth Busters and communicating art at the science centre this summer. “This is our fifth year of sponsoring the summer camps, and we think the camps resonate well with the bank, it’s a good fit for the bank and a good fit for the community,” said Rob Fulthorpe, manager of the 30th Avenue Scotiabank branch. The focus of the camps is to ensure children enjoy their experience and discovery of science through fun,
hands-on and engaging activities. “Children understand more about the place that science can play in their lives,” said the science centre’s resident “mad scientist,” programs facilitator Kevin Aschenmeier, who is also looking forward to the new exhibits the centre has acquired and will have on display throughout the summer. During the summer camps, children will participate in a wide range of hands-on activities where they’ll be able to learn practical applications of science, technology and engineering, and real-world teamwork. Early registration is recommended, as science centre officials point out the camps are generally sold out. Camps run Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and registration forms can be downloaded from www. okscience.ca.

Students and families are about to enter the candy-coated world of Willy Wonka
Beauregarde (Kelsey von Holst), and violence-obsessed TV addict Mike Teavee (Kenny Wong). Those who have seen the film know that things donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out for most of the young visitors to the factory, but Niedballa says kids, parents and grandparents will get a kick out the musicalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subtle and quirky humour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This really is for all ages,â&#x20AC;? she said. A musical theatre student who last acted as Matthew in Kalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of Anne of Green Gables, Parks says Wonkaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character is captivating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a loner and mysterious. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak that often, but when he does, he often has something fascinating to say.â&#x20AC;? And the six foot-tall student adds heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glad he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to dance as much as those little dudes who make the candy at his factory. The show includes five Oompa Loompa numbers, which have been directed and choreographed by Grade 12 student Christine Fulthorpe. The set, designed by stagecraft teacher Shon Thomas and his class, features one stage that acts as the five different rooms of the factory, and includes makeshift candy machines that do all the â&#x20AC;&#x153;dirtyâ&#x20AC;? work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As Willy says, there are thousands of rooms in the Wonka factory,â&#x20AC;? said Niedballa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been tricky to create that.â&#x20AC;? Willy Wonka takes the stage at Kalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Apple Box Theatre, 7900 McClounie Rd., Coldstream, May 27, 28, 29 and 31, as well as June 1, 4 and 5 at 7:30 p.m. A matinee performance will take place at 2 p.m. May 29. Doors open 15 minutes before curtain, and tickets are $5 for students/seniors, and $7 for adults, available at Nolanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pharmasave, downtown Vernon, or at the door.

Drama students at a local high school have been buzzing around on one heck of a sugar high lately. And soon those who have a golden ticket will also be able to enter the non-pollutionary, anti-institutionary, pro-confectionery factory of fun helmed by Willy Wonka. Kalamalka Secondary Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Apple Box Theatre is bringing Roald Dahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words to life in one scrumdiddlyumptious musical opening at the school Thursday. The story, taken from Dahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, is about a young boy and his grandfather who enter a contest to visit the strange world of confectionery purveyor Willy Wonka. And the musical follows the same lines as the 1971 film starring Gene Wilder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The musical is based on the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s version and features the same composer, Leslie Bricusse, as the film,â&#x20AC;? said director Mary Niedballa, who teaches musical theatre at Kal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It starts with a neat song and dance number. â&#x20AC;? With piano accompaniment by parent Elaine Veil, the show is also narrated by student Amy Spence, who guides viewers through the story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wonka was the narrator in the original play, but I wanted to make a connection more with the audience and the story so I divided Wonkaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role with the narrator,â&#x20AC;? said Niedballa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is a young girl who reads

Cory Hug (left) and Ian Flock, as Grandpa Joe and Charlie Bucket, and Melissa Yano and Matt Kolb, as Grandma Georgina and Grandpa George, dream of what lies inside the chocolate factory in Kalamalka Secondary Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation of Willy Wonka. and we used them as golden tickets to watch the film.â&#x20AC;? The musical follows Charlie Bucket (played here by Ian Flock) and his Grandpa Joe (Cory Hug), who after winning a golden ticket in a Wonka Bar, visit the factory along with an assortment of characters, including glutenous Augustus Gloop (Stephen Favell, who happens to be one of the smallest in the cast), spoiled, little rich girl Veruca Salt (Karissa Waddell), gum loving Violet
abook and the opening line is directly from the book.â&#x20AC;? Taking on the iconic role of Wonka is Grade 12 student Lucas Parks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I liked the Gene Wilder version and vowed I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the Johnny Depp version (from Tim Burtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2005 remake) when I got the role,â&#x20AC;? said Parks, who first saw the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;71 film in his Grade 2 class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember my teacher brought in Jersey Milk, which have golden wrappers,
Locals make the most of Les Mis
V
ernon has long been fertile ground for talent, and local stage shows regularly defeat Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim to be the cultural centre of the Okanagan. The latest is A Les MisĂŠrables Journey, directed by Melina Moore at the Powerhouse Theatre. And (aside from its curious Frenglish title) this is a fine production. Adapted from Victor Hugoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic novel of 1862, Les Mis was first produced in Paris in 1980. The Royal Shakespeare Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s London production opened in 1985, the Broadway production opened in 1987, and its third national tour opened in Vancouver in 1990.
Set during the French Revolution, the story follows characters for 20 years, constantly struggling for survival, redemption, and eventually revolution. Jean Valjean, after 19 years of hard labour for stealing bread, is released by the policeman Javert. Later, becoming prosperous, he finds that his employee Fantine has a secret illegitimate child Cosette, living with the crooked innkeeper ThĂŠnardier and his wife. And after pressure from the other workers, Fantine is fired. She sings about her broken dreams, and about the Jim Elderton man who abandoned her daughter. Desperate, she sells her few possessions and becomes a prostitute. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only the beginning.
GUEST REVIEW
The original show ran for nearly four hours, with complex sets and a huge cast. So how does this production cope with such a pedigree? I was impressed. They made the wise decision not to move sets around, some sections of the play were cut, and with new narration added, it worked well at two and a half hours. The big set pieces were all there, and were well done. The barricade scene was successfully conveyed with explosions (sound design by Paul Moore) and lighting (design by Dave Brotsky). And costumes (Vikki Moore), wigs and hair (Caroline Dehner), and make-up (Crystal Badach) were all excellent.

Alex Judd and Karen Bliss were outstanding as the appalling Thénardier and his wife, particularly for Master Of The House, sung in broad cockney. Scott May as Valjean didn’t always have the strength needed for his role, and in duets and trios, he sometimes didn’t balance the others. But when his passion did come through he was right there, such as with Bring Him Home. And there were many other good performers too numerous to mention individually, plus the groups: the ladies octet, narrators (eight), Les Mis kids (11), and the ensemble (25).
North Wind arrives May 31 Morning Star Staff
Le Vent du Nord (The North Wind) is finally blowing into Vernon. This vibrant Quebecois quartet was originally scheduled to perform April 23 and 24 as the North Okanagan Community Concert’s season finale, however, Iceland’s volcano had other plans. “The group was just completing a European tour and couldn’t get out of Antwerp,” said Jan Waldon, NOCCA publicist. The group’s rescheduled concerts will now take place on the same day, Monday, May 31, at 1:30 and 7:30 p.m. at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. All tickets from the previous dates will be honoured. Tickets are still available and cost $35 for adults and $17.50 for those under 18, from the Ticket Seller, 250-5497469, www.ticketseller.ca.

Russell Crowe plays Robin Longstride in the origins story of Robin Hood, directed by Ridley Scott. recently in Kick-Ass, and undoubtedly one of the screen’s most effective villains), secretly plotting a French invasion. And trust me, it makes for a rather decent main event. At age 45, Crowe had something to prove here, and he did. His Robin Hood isn’t quite Errol Flynn, but it’s solid. Ditto for Scott’s direction. His pacing is consistent, and the overall mood of the flick finds a nice nestling spot between dramatically grounded and essential adrenaline. Oh, and gorgeous cinematography too. (I know a huge chunk of this was CGI magic, but who cares when it looks so darn pretty?) And though Robin’s band of outlaw buddies throw around a few yuk-yuks, make no mistake, there is
little merriment in Robin Hood. This is a pretty dark movie. Thankfully, it’s also a
pretty good one. The feature is currently playing at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Childcare deserves recognition Quality childcare is vital to a child’s early learning, but remains underfunded and underappreciated CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Childcare means more than a safe place to leave children while parents work. It is a vital part of early learning, readiness for formal education and future success. “People are becoming more aware of how important the early years are for brain development. It really starts before children are born, with a healthy pregnancy,” said Lynne Reside, Vernon coordinator, Early Childhood Development Coalition, who is also regional coordinator for Success by Six and Children First. The organizations work together to help the community develop and provide healthy early childhood development opportunities. One way to help children is the Early Development Index (EDI) used in kindergarten to assess readiness and recommend ways to help children where it is needed. Reside is concerned that according to the EDI, one in four children in the province is not ready for kindergarten and said many factors contribute to children’s well being, including affordable housing and childcare, access to services, health care and recreation. “The biggest factor is child poverty,” she said. “For the sixth year in a row, B.C. has the highest child poverty rate in Canada. Childcare issues affect everyone, whether they think it does or not, businesses and people who don’t have children. Our society needs these children to grow up healthy, happy and productive for their own good and that of everyone else.” Reside noted that childcare issues have

May is Child Care Month. Child care and early childhood development issues remain a concern in the North Okanagan. eased somewhat due to the economic downturn and more parents not working, but said it is still important to work at developing childcare spaces. Currently, there are only enough childcare spaces in Canada for 20 per cent of the children who need care. “What are the other 80 per cent doing? We want our kids to be well cared for in their vulnerable years,” she said. “With 75 per cent of mothers in the paid work force, we need a provincial or federal government plan that will ensure adequate childcare.” Another issue is that while child care professionals require at least two years of
training and on-going training, they are not well paid and many leave the field. “Parents pay the larger portion of childcare and we need more resources for parents than we used to have. The message is that childcare is early learning and is very important. A child can be in care for up to 50 hours a week. Most brain development happens in the first five years and high-quality childcare. We are finding that most parents now want group childcare for the social skills development it provides. We can learn from what is being done in other countries,” said Reside. “We need to encourage people to recog-
nize childcare providers for the important work they do.” Reside is pleased that some local childcare centres are taking part in new research and program development that will be beneficial for all childcare providers. Everyone is encouraged to tell the childcare providers they know that they are valued and appreciated. The Early Childhood Development Coalition receives funding from the Ministry of Children and Families and the United Way and Success by Six receives funding from the credit unions of B.C.

Son lacks motivation
D
ear Annie: I have two teenage sons. The oldest is very athletic and makes good grades. He will be graduating soon and leaving for college. The problem is our youngest son. “Logan” is very intelligent, but couldn’t care less about his grades. Half the time, he doesn’t turn in his homework. He refuses to study and generally hates school. He will lie about assignments and grades. We have nagged him, grounded him and taken away privileges, but nothing seems to matter. Logan is also extremely overweight. We encourage him to exercise, but again, he ignores us. After his brother goes to school, I know he will quit the only team sport he has ever participated in. Fortunately, Logan isn’t involved in drinking or drugs. His friends are good kids, even though he doesn’t have many. He spends most of his time at home, doing next to nothing. He helps out with chores when I ask, but he never volunteers. When Logan was in middle school, we took him for counseling, but it didn’t help. He came around for a couple of years on his own, but now things are worse than ever. Maybe we just didn’t have the right counselor. How do you motivate someone to make the right choices?

We’re glad it is working out for you. But “Mom” had a young teenager still
living at home, and her first responsibility is to her child. It is unwise to bring someone into the household until everyone has a chance to know him better.

“The Work” of Byron Katie Are you looking for a change?
An Introduction to
“My spouse doesn’t appreciate me.” “I need more money.” “My kids are driving me crazy.” Thoughts like these may run through our minds many times a day, fostering fear, anger, stress and depression. How different would your life be if these thoughts never bothered you again? “The Work” of Byron Katie is a method that allows you to question these thoughts in such a way that they are cleared from your mind. Anyone with a willingness to experience change can do it. This process works. It’s radical, and life changing. Learn to use this simple yet powerful process for yourself during this full day interactive workshop facilitated by Lisa Webster, MA, of Vernon Counselling & Therapy.

While many people feel the world is heading for disaster, Lynn Moore thinks the planet is undergoing a shift in consciousness which is positive and exciting. She shares her experiences in her quest for the missing link in achieving goals in her new book, Inspirational Goaling. She uses the framework of her 2009 trip to Nepal to teach English to young Buddhist monks and finding and bringing home an abandoned dog to illustrate her techniques for setting and reaching new goals.

PISCES (FEB. 20-MARCH 20) If you have to make an important judgment call at this time, of which you’re a bit uncertain, it still might be best to make it anyway. You’re likely to make a better decision today than you will tomorrow.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) It may be a good day to take off and do something that’s been on your mind for quite some time. It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate, merely very satisfying.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Make an outline before diving into your work, and chances are you’ll find yourself being far more logical and methodical regarding your labors. It could actually lighten your load considerably.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) There is likely to be more than one channel available to you at this time that offers personal gains of some kind. Be alert so that you can at least get a foot in the door when given the chance.
Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Spending some quality time with the family is likely to prove to be the most satisfying activity for you, even if this means merely puttering around the house or working in the garden.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Muster the initiative to take action on an arrangement that others with whom you’re involved have been remiss about taking care of. You can make lots of hay while they sleep. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23) Regardless of how eager you are to share the news with friends or associates about something secretive you’ve been working on, it behooves you to remain close-mouthed about it when given the chance. SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 22) Be attentive if a co-worker starts talking about something on which, unbeknown to this person, you are also working. What s/he says might give you some ideas on making your own project better. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23-DEC. 21) If you want to be more successful, start relying more on yourself and less upon others to carry the load. Regardless of how new something is to you, you can do a better job. CAPRICORN DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Because you’re apt to view life more philosophically, you are likely to find things going far more smoothly for you. Stuff that would normally rattle you will be taken more in stride. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 19) An idea for an interesting joint endeavor could develop, one that you will find yourself seriously considering. If you can’t reach a conclusion, do a little groundwork first.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Engage in some fun activities if you can, because you might not be able to find time for leisure activities for the next two days, despite your anticipations. YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY Current trends and conditions that could have an affect on your work or career should take a turn for the better in the year ahead. Do everything within your power to improve your situation, and then flow with the tide of events.

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

A win-win initiative
B
ritish Columbia’s Provincial N o m i n e e Program (PNP) has produced many gems for Vernon-Monashee. The PNP is an innovative program that supports B.C.’s economy by enabling uniquely skilled individuals from outside Canada to obtain permanent residency in a fraction of the time it normally takes. Waiting times are reduced on average, from five years to less than one year. Potential candidates hold skills that are unavailable in Canada, yet often required by local companies and employers. By strategically placing these talented individuals into our workforce, we are able to become more competitive and ultimately, more successful. Since 2002, the PNP’s business category alone, saw 571 nominee candidates approved. This resulted in over $600 million committed in new investment and created over 2,550 jobs in British Columbia. Many of these jobs were created right here in our community. Innovative individuals saw potential in VernonMonashee and brought their hard work and ingenuity to the region. Among these individuals was Hans Peter Mayr. In 2006 the Austrian immigrant came to B.C. through the PNP with a vision to build Sparkling Hill Resort. He had previously developed and operated similar wellness resorts in Europe. In
2008 he put his talents to work. His vision quickly took shape as the construction for the resort began. The construction alone created 350 local jobs and kept our forest and construction industries well occupied. I am thrilled that Mayr selected Vernon as the location to build the incredible Sparkling Hills resort. Mayr’s creation will continue to Eric Foster enhance our community by providing permanent local employment opportunities. It is estimated that Sparkling Hill will create about 130 long-term jobs. Furthermore, many of the supplies required by the resort will be provided from the area. For example, its restaurants serve locally grown, organic food – a great boost for both our farmers and our environment. It will also benefit Vernon by attracting people from across British Columbia, Canada and all over the world. The timing of Sparkling Hill could not have been more ideal. With the Olympics still fresh in everyone’s minds, travelers are eager to visit the beautiful landscape which makes our province so unique. And as resortgoers seek entertainment, shopping and other local experiences, businesses in the area will be able to cater to a new crowd. We may even see new businesses popping up. In B.C. we are lucky to have programs which actively fill voids in
MLA REPORT
our professional workforce. Along with the PNP, we benefit from the Seasonal Farm Workers program and the Temporary Workers program. Both programs are designed to allow temporary employ-
ment in B.C. for skilled individuals. This relationship benefits both parties. B.C. employers gain valuable employees to forward their business, and the employees acquire new experience, skills and an opportuni-
ty to enjoy our province. It is important to have these types of programs, especially as our population ages and declines. Voids in the work force could easily result in lost economic opportunities.

Art added to birth certificates TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Unlike B.C.’s new enhanced driver’s licences, a new line of artist-decorated birth certificates is not recommended for use as identification. The certificates are intended for wall display, with stylized nature scenes taken from a mural by Carol Christianson that was commissioned last year by the Royal B.C. Museum for the province’s 150th anniversary. The colourful certificates sell for $50, the same price as a standard birth certificate. They are available to anyone born in B.C., not just newborns, and the designs come in sequences of three that can be displayed as a triptych showing the diversity of the B.C. landscape. One set of three begins at Long Beach on Vancouver Island and continues into the coastal forest. Another
depicts Gulf Islands, a Garry oak on Vancouver Island and Desolation Sound. For Lower Mainlanders, one set includes Robson Square, the Vancouver Art Gallery and farmland in the Fraser Valley. Another includes a steam train in the Fraser Canyon, a pine forest in flames and bighorn sheep in the Okanagan. Others depict Kootenay scenes, Peace region farming and northern vistas such as the Skeena River. The commemorative birth certificates are available from the B.C. Vital Statistics Agency, which also produces standard marriage and death certificates. The designs can be viewed and ordered at the agency’s website, www. vs.gov.bc.ca. They can also be ordered by phone with a credit card, through a toll-free number 1-888-876-1633.

News Ministries expand officer duties, increase efficiency JUDIE STEEVES Black Press
With funding cuts, it’s become essential that there be efficiencies, so a number of natural resource ministries now operate under a shared services plan for the Thompson-Okanagan. Priorities are off-road vehicles causing environmental damage and unauthorized structures on Crown land, including cabins, bike trails and docks, explained Kyle Beadman, compliance and enforcement supervisor in this area for the forests ministry. With limited officers in the whole region, he said his staff now have special conservation officer status so they can be more effective at enforcing legislation such as the Water Act, open burning regulations and the Land Act as well as forestry legislation. Plans are for them to work with conservation officers in roving patrols and stationary patrols in key areas on forest roads to help prevent environmental damage. “There are way more people out there than there used to be and they come here from elsewhere as well,” commented Beadman. They hope their role will largely be educational, but they’ll be prepared to take action wherever needed as well. “People have to learn to use the forest in a way that others can come out and enjoy it too; they have to show respect,” he said. People have no right to build on Crown land. They can camp, as long as they clean up after themselves, but not squat. This new approach will help government to be more efficient in using the remaining resources. Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick said working together like this helps ensure priority services continue with the smaller workforce from retirement, attrition and budget.
To achieve the efficiencies requires coordination, collaboration and innovation, he said. Members of the public can also help by reporting anything out of the ordinary, or activities that are illegal, from tree cutting to creeks being blocked, by calling the toll-free reporting line, the Report All

News Province looking into College of Teachers TOM FLETCHER Black Press
The B.C. government has appointed a “fact finder” to look into the functioning of the B.C. College of Teachers, which hasn’t disciplined a single teacher after receiving 270 public complaints in the past seven years. Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid announced the review Tuesday, responding to a letter from College of Teachers chairman Richard Walker, asking her to suspend the upcoming college elections and investigate the function of the college. The letter was also signed by vice-chair Norm Nichols and nine directors. “Since its creation in 1988, the college has been hampered in its role by the ongoing influence of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation over the college council,” the letter states. “This influence is exercised through the endorsement of candidates, union policy and liaison between the BCTF and BCTF-endorsed council members. The result of this influence is a widespread concern that the college is unable to carry out its mandate in the public interest.” MacDiarmid
“The BCTF looks forward to the opportunity to meet with the fact finder.” — Jim Iker announced the appointment of Victoria lawyer Don Avison, a former deputy education minister and former presi-
dent of the Research Universities Council of B.C., to report back with recommendations by Sept. 17.
BCTF vice-president Jim Iker issued a statement Tuesday, calling the situation “a manufactured crisis created by the current chair and registrar.” “The BCTF looks forward to the opportunity to meet with the fact finder to express our concerns about the actions of the current
chair and registrar that have needlessly heightened a sense of dysfunction within the college council,” Iker said. Walker notes that the call for an independent investigation is supported by six former chairs going back to 1988 and three former registrars, in addition to 11 of 20 current board members.

DOMINION XTERIORS Ltd. Primrose RooďŹ ng Ltd. Call Someone You Can Trust! Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder There are deals in which the declarer needs a defensive error. Then it helps if he has some subterfuge up his sleeve. If you were South in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deal, what would you do in three no-trump after West leads the spade king? As always when in notrump, start by counting your top tricks, your instant winners. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that, you will misplay many contracts. Here, you have eight top tricks: one spade, three hearts, one diamond and three clubs. Assuming diamonds are 3-2, which they usually will be, you can establish a ninth trick in that suit. However, the opponents might cash at
least three spades and two diamonds. If diamonds will not work, though, you will have to get a fourth club trick. You might as well ďŹ nd out the spade break. So, duck the ďŹ rst two tricks and take the third spade after East discards a heart. Now it would be too optimistic to assume East has K-Q-doubleton or K-Q-J-tripleton of diamonds. Instead, hope West has the club jack and try to sneak a fourth club trick past him. Lead your club nine -- not the 10, because West will surely cover that card if he has the jack. But he might fail to cover the nine. And if he does fail, you will
have your ninth trick in the bag. When you are taking a ďŹ nesse and do not want an opponent to cover a card, lead the lowest one you have that will win the trick. If, though, you do want a cover, lead the highest.

RIVA, Walter Joseph RIVA, Walter Joseph - Born in Canmore, Alberta on May 9, 1922 , passed away peacefully in Kelowna, BC on May 16, 2010 at the age of 88 years. Always proud of his humble heritage as a third generation coal miner, Walter was raised in Canmore where he excelled at academics, music and sports including the setting of a provincial high school record for the 100 yard dash. He worked in the mine until he was of age to volunteer for service in the Second World War where he served as a navigator in the RAF. After the war he attended the University of Alberta under the veterans program. Having married Lorraine Cormier in 1942, they now had three children but he still managed to graduate in Mining Engineering With Distinction in 1949. His illustrious career in the coal industry included almost 25 years at Canmore Mines where he was Executive Vice President. He moved on from Canmore to Kaiser Resources where he became President and later President, CEO and Chairman of the Board of successor companies Westar Resources and BCRIC. He had the distinction of signing the ďŹ rst coal contract with the Japanese which opened up new markets for Canada. As a recognized industry leader he received many accolades including a term as President of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and was inducted into the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame in 2004. At the age of 86 he completed a book on the history of mining in the Bow Valley after a ďŹ ve year research effort. His passion for golf ďŹ lled his leisure time and he was particularly proud of his two holes in one. Walter is survived by the love of his life Lorraine after a marriage of 67 years and children LeeEllen Svoboda[Jim], Patrick[Nancy], Donald[Merle], Susan Lewis[Darryl], Michael[Rhonda], Raymond[Leslie] as well as 16 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. Walterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s devotion to family leaves a legacy of wisdom, generosity and love which will inspire them and all whom he touched during an amazing life. A Memorial Mass will be held at 1 p.m. on Friday, May 21, 2010 at St Charles Garnier Parish in Kelowna. Cremation interment and a celebration of life will take place in Canmore, A.B. at a future date.

It’s a Volkswagen. No, seriously.
That’s what we tell people when they point to the 2010 Passat CC and ask, “what is it?” or “is that a (insert name of expensive luxury car here)?” And we get those questions all the time. Although it’s not that surprising, it has sleek lines on the outside, premium materials on the inside, and it’s loaded with the latest technology. It also comes with a fuel-efficient 2.0L TSI 200 hp turbocharged engine, or an available 3.6L FSI 280 hp V6 with 4MOTION all-wheel drive system. The affordable 4-door coupe, starting from only $34,440*. No, seriously.

Germany’s famous Autobahn is both the birthplace and training ground for the innovation and technology that make every Volkswagen so special. We believe that every driver has the right to experience the best of the Autobahn. That’s Autobahn for All.
