Second guilty plea issued in local fraud case ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A trial for two men accused of theft and fraud that was originally slated for three weeks took less than an hour to conclude over two days. One day after co-accused Edward Frederick Kenny pleaded guilty to four counts of theft over $5,000 and two counts of fraud over $5,000, Jonathan Edward Prangley followed suit.
“We are happy with the guilty plea.” — Stephen Cooke Following a half-hour delay at the beginning of his trial, Prangley pleaded guilty to one count of theft over $5,000 in a 10-minute hearing Wednesday morning in Vernon Supreme Court.
Prangley had been facing three counts each of theft over $5,000 and fraud over $5,000 stemming from an RCMP investigation that began in 1999 after police received complaints from people in Canada,
the U.S. and Australia that they had lost their investment money. Crown Stephen Cooke stayed the other five counts against Prangley. “We are happy with the guilty plea, and there’s nothing else really to say,” said Cooke following Prangley’s plea. Kenny was charged with seven counts each of theft over $5,000 and fraud over $5,000, then pleaded guilty to six counts while Crown counsel stayed the other eight

counts. The two men were arrested and charged in 2007. Prangley’s lawyer, Kevin Woodall, also declined comment. Like Kenny, Prangley will next appear in court June 28 as both sides fix a date for sentencing. A pre-sentence report and technical suitability report have been ordered for Prangley, while there will be no pre-sentence report for Kenny.

The debate over water restrictions continues to rage even as the rules are rolled back. Greater Vernon residents shifted to stage two water restrictions Tuesday, but North Okanagan Regional District director Jack Gilroy insists that any reoccurrence of stage three should not apply across-the-board. “I know there are two sources. But if there is enough water in Kalamalka Lake, I don’t know why we would apply these restrictions to residents of Vernon and Coldstream,� he said. Director Gyula Kiss recently stated that restrictions should apply equally to the Duteau Creek and Kalamalka Lake sources because customers on both sources pay the same rates. Kiss has also suggested that while the level of Kal Lake is sufficient now, it may not stay that way if the tributaries that feed it are running low. However, Gilroy says stage three restrictions for both sources will create a $1.5 million loss in fees for the utility. “I don’t want to tell my taxpayers rates have to go up 10 per cent next year to make up the $1.5 million. The citizens of Vernon pay 75 per cent of the water and maybe we should take care of them,� he said. Gilroy also points to

Incident raises concerns ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Greyhound officials are taking very seriously an incident on one of its buses over the May long weekend where a passenger pulled a knife and started damaging bus property. The bus was en route from Vernon to Kamloops May 22 when, at around 10:30 a.m., one passenger noticed a man acting in a bizarre manner. “I was at the back of the bus, I thought it would be quiet back there and everything, when this guy in front of me started acting weird as the bus rolled out of Vernon,” said Glen Dohie, a professional photographer from Kona, Hawaii, who has a home in Vernon. “He got up and was taking pictures in the washroom, mumbling something, I don’t know what. “Then, this guy started pounding on the overhead compartment and on the lights and air conditioning switches. We were a couple of miles outside of Falkland and that’s when he pulled a knife out of his bag and began chipping away at the TV and radio controls. He gouged at those
things, screwed things off and put them in his bag. Then he folded up the knife and put it back in his bag. “I say, ‘I’m outta here, I don’t know what this guy’s going to do,’” said Dohie. “I went up to the bus driver, told him what was going on, and that’s when he pulled into the Falkland station.” RCMP were alerted and dealt with the male passenger, a 46-year-old man from Spruce Grove, Alta. “He told us he made some poor decisions, that he was under a doctor’s care and was on prescription medications,” said RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “He relinquished the knife and was not permitted to get back on the bus. Greyhound decided not to press charges.” Timothy Stokes, a Cincinnati-based spokesman for Greyhound, said he is not aware that his company declined to press charges against the knife-bearing passenger, but said the case is being thoroughly investigated. “We are doing an internal investigation to determine the damage that was done inside our coach,” said Stokes. “We have notified local ticket
agents in the area of the name of this passenger, and they have been ordered not to allow him to purchase a Greyhound ticket at this time.” Stokes said passenger security is Greyhound’s core value. “We do have zero tolerance for aggressive and unruly behaviour,” he said. “We do have a list of items that are not permitted to be placed on our bus. There is a list on our website prior to purchasing a ticket as to what you can and can’t bring on our bus.” StokessaidGreyhound has random wanding and bag checks at some of its locations. Dohie said he’s appalled Greyhound hasn’t pressed charges yet. “What happens if that guy has a gun? He’d massacre us there,” said Dohie, who was travel-
ling to Chilliwack. He transferred buses at Kamloops and said no bags were checked. It’s unclear what happened to the Spruce Grove man, and it’s not known where he originally boarded, though Dohie said he was already on when he got on the bus in Vernon.

Agency embraces new service model RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A non-profit agency hopes to enhance its services by closing its doors. The Social Planning Council will relocate from its 31st Avenue office to Community Futures July 5. “It’s a very good partnership because many of the projects I work on are Sharkey done through Community Futures and many meetings occur there,” said Annette Sharkey, executive director. But the most important part, says Sharkey, is financial resources will be freed up because Community Futures won’t charge rent. “This will make our society financially viable. We can focus on programs instead of fundraising for administration costs,” she said. In the past, about $20,000 a year has been needed to keep the storefront office open. Social Planning’s shifting opera-
tions model will also have an impact on two other initiatives. The Seniors Bureau will relocate to the People Place and work closely with the Family Resource Centre. “A lot of seniors groups meet there,” said Sharkey of the People Place. The Volunteer Bureau will share premises with the North Okanagan Employment Enhancement Society. The Social Planning Council is the lead agency for the Partners in Action committee, which is attempting to address a number of issues including homelessness, affordable housing, child care and public safety. One item the agency is working on is a Living in Vernon brochure and DVD. It will be used to attract businesses, families and individuals by highlighting the advantages of living in Vernon. “We will be needing to attract people,” said Sharkey of statistics that show a declining workforce in the future. Sharkey says the brochure and DVD will be provided in multiple languages so immigrant entrepreneurs and skilled workers feel welcome.

Landscaping gets additional support RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Additional funding could take root for landscaping just north of Vernon’s northern entrance. City council voted Tuesday to request that BX-Swan Lake director Mike Gavinchuk increase his funding for maintaining Highway 97 landscaping from $500 to $2,000. According to Mayor Wayne Lippert, the impetus for the request came from the North Okanagan Regional District director. “He’s had positive response from residents out in his area,” said Lippert of the landscaping between the weigh scale and Stickle Road. The corridor is located in Gavinchuk’s jurisdiction, but the city proceeded with upgrades last fall as a way of beautifying a main route into Vernon. “It’s good to see he is working with us and that he appreciates the improvements out there,” said Lippert. As part of last fall’s upgrades, the city spent $230,500 on overhauling landscaping while $130,000 came from Swan Lake Nurseryland. The city is now responsible for the annual maintenance costs, which are expected to be about $10,000 this year. Coun. Buffy Baumbrough, who is also with the city’s Communities In Bloom committee, believes further support from Gavinchuk will assist in beautification. “It’s nice to hear his interest in contributing more funds comes from the positive comments he’s been receiving from his constituents,” said Baumbrough. Landscaping through the Swan Lake corridor used to be maintained by the provincial government but that came to an end in 2003 because of budget cuts.

Congratulations, and stay safe
A
little while ago, I was in a local coffee shop and on the radio or whatever music was being piped in, I heard a song I hadn’t listened to in a long time. I remember it being played a lot in the spring of 1999 when I was approaching my high school graduation (It wasn’t that long ago, was it?). This song a spokenword track that begins, “Ladies and gentlemen of the class of ‘99, wear sunscreen,” before going on Brent Mutis to convey a sequence of other wise pieces of advice for the graduating class of that year. (Youtube it, it’s called Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen) by Baz Luhrmann and whether you’re a grad or a parent, the wisdom is still relevant in 2010). A drum beat kicks in and guitar strums. Another piece of advice: “Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth...” Some may interpret that as encouragement to go a bit crazy before the next routine of university or a job kicks in. Grads, you WILL be presented with temptation during the next month and through the summer and the pressure to partake in celebrations that include alcohol might be too much to resist. Remember, you ALWAYS have a choice to enjoy yourself responsibly. Don’t sacrifice the rest of your life or someone else’s for one weekend of partying. It seems you don’t have to go far to find someone who lost a friend around grad time to a preventable incident. I recently heard a story just like that while at Kalamalka Secondary covering the Dry Grad Freestyle Show put on by motocross riders

from the area. One of the riders recounted how a friend, driving drunk, got in an accident killing another friend who was in the passenger seat. There really aren’t words to adequately tell the sadness of such an incident. Don’t create more tragic tales in your year, grads, do the right thing. “Get to know your parents; you never know when they’ll be gone for good.” This is good advice for anybody. You may not always see eye to eye but don’t let that keep you from understanding the folks who brought you up. As someone who doesn’t have children of his own, I don’t have the expertise to talk about parenthood. But I don’t know how I would have gotten involved in underage drinking without my parents knowing about it. My mom was (is?) nosy. She always found out everything about where I was and who I was with. Sometimes I felt it intrusive but I guess what I’d say to parents is be curious – for your kids’ sake. Find out what they’re up to. It is your right to know. May long weekend already saw RCMP break up two large teen gatherings, grad related, near Mabel Lake. Fortunately, no injuries resulted but there will be more. Make the time to find out what’s going on when your son or daughter is going to a grad party not organized by their school; it could be the best thing you do for your kids at grad time. “Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life.” I take comfort in this as someone who may have missed a turn or two on the career highway. Remember grads, life is not a race. I struggle with this concept everyday but am trying to realize there will always be time to make life what you want it to be. Don’t allow impulsive decision making to take that time away from you.
Polson Park has been a jewel in Greater Vernon’s crown for more than a century, but there’s no question that it’s somewhat old and tired and requires some rejuvenation. That’s why the long-term design process launched by the City of Vernon and the North Okanagan is not only welcome, but necessary. If the park is to remain a vital community hub, a new vision must be pursued. However, everyone’s interpretation of that vision may be different, and it’s almost a given that two proposals will dominate the debate — closing down the internal road to public traffic and scrapping the oval track for an open grass area. But while those two concepts are critical, there are other ideas that could also have a significant impact on Polson Park and hopefully they won’t be overlooked. Among them is moving the rose garden to a more prominent location, expanding the always popular water park and pressing ahead with long-overdue upgrades to the pagoda and the Japanese garden. It’s also been suggested that one pond could evolve into a wetland, while a portion of the Vernon Creek channel could have a more natural look, emphasizing the importance of our environment. Greater Vernon residents will have a number of opportunities to participate in the planning process, including during an open house June 24 and at Canada Day festivities July 1. Polson Park is a such a valuable recreational resource, and that means that all residents must take an interest in its future. Now is not the time to sit on the sidelines.

HST deserves to be debated
R
egarding the HST, I am writing in the hope that an actual dialogue on the issue may yet break out amongst British Columbians. Personally, I support the move to modernize the PST by converting to a value-added model and harmonizing it with the GST. I am saddened, however, by the vitriolic, deliberately polarized bickering that has characterized commentary to date. In my view this is in part due to our provincial government having opted for a too passive approach to informing B.C. voters about the pros and cons of this initiative. Where the matter should have been subject to reasoned debate instead, those whose only currency is fear and willful ignorance have occupied the void where useful information should be found. We should rename the HST the Hysterical Sales Tax. Based on a common sense reading of the proposed change, following are some of the reasons I support HST. 1. Less tax will be collected on most transactions under HST. A simplified example: with our multitiered PST, an item priced at $10 by a manufacturer will sell to a retailer for $10.70 after PST (assuming a nonB.C. manufacturer to avoid embedded PST issues). If then marked up 100 per cent by a retailer (used to keep the
math simple), the retailer must sell for $21.40 to recover all costs, a price to the consumer of $23.97 after PST and GST. The same item under HST need have a retail price of only $20 (no PST to be recovered or marked up) or $22.40 after HST. The PST is so complex, this example can’t begin to capture all possible permutations but the basic principle holds. 2. The concern that HST will reduce affordability of real estate is misplaced. The higher rebate threshold ensures that new homes under $525,000 will be unaffected by the change - surely this is the market segment, even in the Lower Mainland, where affordability is an issue. More importantly, the tax will only apply to new homes - even in boom years this represents only a fraction of sales from existing inventory. Post harmonization, re-sales will still not be taxed on the sale price. 3. It is a myth that businesses pay tax or that a reduction of business taxes represents a “transfer of wealth”
INCINERATOR QUESTIONS We are concerned about the re-zoning application by Mr. Yntema near Enderby. He proposes to have one hectare of his existing 20.23 hectare agricultural land to agricultural industrial so that he can build an experimental livestock incinerator. His property, like ours, borders on the Shuswap River. My grandchildren, family and friends look forward each year to enjoying the river by tubing, swimming, canoeing and watching the wildlife. We have many unanswered questions about this incinerator. What will happen to the particulates associated with the burn if there is a problem? What will happen to the ash left after the animal is burnt? Will there be regular, random government inspections? Will this application open the door to many individual abattoir owners building similar incinerators along our waterways and using more ALR property? How
to those businesses. For a business to stay in business, it must recover all costs. Taxes are just another cost - if not recovered through sales the business ceases to serve customers and employ workers. There really is “just one taxpayer” and every time we consume goods or services, we pay those business taxes as well. 4. A standalone PST represents a significant administrative burden on all B.C. businesses. This burden falls disproportionately on small businesses, the backbone of any modern economy. HST will reduce this waste of resources. 5. No well run business will alter its operations due to HST. Restaurants will survive a $0.35 increase on a $5 meal or even a $7 increase on a $100 meal. This before adjusting for layered PST now embedded in their costs. 6. The great majority of transactions are already subject to HST equivalent taxes and, as above, also unseen taxes on taxes. Except for the
will the increased traffic flow down our no-through country road be affected? If you, too, are concerned, I encourage you to sign our petitions, write to your local, B.C. and federal government officials, especially the Ministry of the Environment and attend the NORD rezoning meeting which is to be announced. To the livestock producers: Are you actively lobbying the government bodies to install a plant, similar to the one you currently use in Alberta, in B.C. so that it is more accessible to you? Are you lobbying the government to build it on existing industrial property or crown land?

the 17th McHappy Day such an outstanding success. On May 5, McDonald's restaurants across the country joined together with our employees, our customers, our suppliers and other special guests to raise money to help children in need across Canada. The incredible generosity of our customers, the enthusiasm of our employees and the support of our celebrity volunteers helped our restaurant support the activities of the Vernon and Armstrong Boys and Girls Clubs. Their efforts directly impact the lives of children in need in this community every year and we're so proud to be able to provide them with some assistance. We hope you are as delighted as we are to be a part of this success. We look forward to continuing this special tradition in the years ahead.

astounding addition of used cars and trucks, the list of items newly taxed is small and will have limited impact on our financial lives. For those at lower incomes for whom some of the changes could be material, rebates through the income tax system will provide relief. The potential benefits are significant for the substantial majority of B.C. citizens and for the provincial economy as a whole. A conscientious review is also in order to ensure we mitigate effects for individuals for whom the impact may be negative. My great hope is that the energy and resources now being devoted to turning back the HST could be redirected to ensuring improvements for consumers and in investment, employment, innovation, and growth are fully realized. Who knows what they might accomplish if focused on optimizing the benefits of the new regime instead of just saying No? Given the tendency for attacks to substitute for substance-based dialogue on this issue and in the interest of full disclosure, please know that I am not affiliated with any party or group or business - my wife and I are retired and rely almost exclusively on our savings to see us through to our eventual demise.

But ter because) I’m not satisfied council postponed the mail- we have the right answers.”
The contents of the letter will also be shaped by the district’s environmental committee so holding it back will permit that process too. The item will come back to council likely at the next meeting on June 14 and if approved then, it will be mailed to residents. “What we need to do is make (the letter) the best tool available for people,” said Enns. “We want to get clear information to creekside homeowners.” Council also wants to simplify the process for residents who want to clean up their riparian areas or plant new vegetation there. The need for qualified environmental
professionals (QEP) to advise homeowners has been raised but Coun. Bill Firman noted it’s unlikely all residents will take the time to consult with a QEP. “I want a letter saying you can plant or you can’t plant,” he said. “We can’t be naive enough to think people will go out and hire an environmental professional.” Mayor Jim Garlick wants to encourage residents to seek provincial direction from FrontCounter BC (www. frontcounterbc.gov.bc.ca). “I want to make it clear we want them to contact FrontCounter rather than hire (a QEP),” he said.

Two Coldstream council meetings have been removed from the district’s summer schedule but councillors will still be gathering to solidify plans on community challenges. “We need some time to focus on some other issues,”
said Mayor Jim Garlick. “We’re just going to be using our time for something else.” Meetings originally scheduled for July 12 and Aug. 9 have been cancelled to make time for specific challenges Coldstream faces. Garlick listed Coldstream’s pavement management plan, future work on Coldstream
Creek and amendments to the official community plan as the main areas that need more council input. It’s not uncommon for councils to cancel certain summer meetings but this is the first time Coldstream has done so since Garlick became mayor late in 2008. For most of the year, coun-
cil convenes on the second and fourth Monday of the month. Council will still hold the meetings set for July 26 and Aug. 23. Garlick will allow the district’s various committees to decide amongst themselves whether they’ll continue with their respective meeting schedules through the summer.

BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
An increasing network of trails in Vernon and its neighbouring communities is taking shape thanks to the efforts of some local groups. The Ribbons of Green Trails Society recently recognized Venture Training and Wesbild Holdings for their commitment to trail development in the area at a small ceremony on the Venture above Old Kamloops Road. Klaus Linemayr accepted a plaque on behalf of Venture Training, which works with mentally handicapped adults. They’ve been helping build trails for several years, most recently in the Turtle Mountain area. Brent Ree accepted a plaque for Wesbild and said his company is delighted to be able to contribute such a lasting legacy to the subdivision they’ve worked on at Turtle Mountain. “It’s definitely our pleasure to install these trails,” said Ree. “If anyone goes for a walk up there, they’ll see. We hope our neighbours contribute to the trails as well.” Slowly but surely, trail systems are linking the entire region, says Ribbons of Green Society president Dave Smith. “We’ve had so many

Everyone is working together.” That co-operation offers opportunities for locals to enjoy their city, said Vernon Mayor Wayne Lippert. “Sometimes, you don’t know how much they’ll be used but it’s been an overwhelming success,” said Lippert. “People come back to us and say, ‘Thank you, this has really improved our neighbourhood.’” Smith noted his organization’s biggest stretch of continuous trail is the Grey Canal Route which stretches from Lavington all

the way to the east side of Swan Lake. He hopes continued links will allow residents to enjoy more time outdoors on trails instead of in cars. “We (Ribbons of Green Society) don’t believe, 20 to 50 years down the road, we’ll still be the same auto-
mobile-centred society we are now,” said Smith. “These trails are not just for Sunday hikes, it’s a bit of a redesign on how we live.” Ribbons of Green is now continuing to develop new trail systems in the Middleton Mountain area.

Water restrictions rescinded Morning Star Staff
Life is getting back to normal for Armstrong water customers. The city has rescinded stage two water restrictions and lifted a water quality advisory. The advisory was initiated May 18 after rain increased turbidity in Fortune Creek and the city was forced to switch over to two wells for water. As a result of the wells having limited capacity, stage two restrictions were put in place to conserve water. As of Tuesday, water quality
for Fortune Creek was described as good. Armstrong residents are now on stage one water restrictions which means even-numbered addresses may only water on even-numbered days and oddnumbered addresses may only irrigate on odd-numbered days. “Water conservation is encouraged both indoors and outdoors,” said Pat Hickerson, public works manager. Sprinkling is only allowed between 7 and 11 a.m. and
7 and 11 p.m. and in-ground automated watering systems are allowed between 1 and 5 a.m. on your designated day. Hand-watering or vehicle washing with a container or hose with a shut-off nozzle is permitted at any time. Besides Armstrong, the restrictions apply to parts of Spallumcheen, including the Silver Star, Stardel, Lansdowne and Highland Park water districts, and the Pleasant Valley and Round Prairie specified areas.

A Vernon agency is joining the fight against human trafficking. The Salvation Army’s Talkin’ Donkey coffee house will hold a number of activities between today and Sunday to raise funds and awareness about the selling of people. “Human trafficking is basically when people are taken against their will and forced into the sex trade or slave labour,” said Carol MacBain, Talkin’ Donkey manager. “Our goal is to raise $25,000 toward fighting this injustice and freeing individuals who have been enslaved.” Canada is a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children trafficking for the purposes of commercial sex exploitation and forced labour Women and children are trafficking primarily from Asia and eastern Europe for sexual exploitation but MacBain said victims have also been identified from Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. “Not only is this an international issue, this is taking place in Canada.” The RCMP estimated in 2004 that 800 people are trafficked into Canada each year, 600 of which are destined for the sex trade. It’s believed 1,500 to 2,200 people are trafficked from Canada into the U.S. annually The event at the Talkin’ Donkey will include a live band today at 7 p.m., parking lot activities Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and live music Saturday from 8 to 11 p.m. “We invite the community to come alongside of us to make it a successful endeavour,” said MacBain. “You will be helping the Talkin’ Donkey establish itself as ground zero in the fight against this human injustice. You will be helping us make a difference in the lives of many.” The Talkin’ Donkey is located at 3923 32nd St.

Boaters without operator card face hefty fines KRISTI PATTON Black Press
Law enforcement officers are ready to hand out hefty fines of no less than $250 to boaters this summer who still don’t have their Pleasure Craft Operator Card. In September, the deadline passed for the 10-year federal law phase-in period for all Canadian recreational boat operators to have a Pleasure Craft Operator Card. This will be the first boating year where all boaters in the country, regardless of age, need an operator card, commonly referred to as a boating licence, or they risk expensive fines if caught without it. “We are well aware that everyone should know about the operator card requirements ... for this year there is really no excuses. Enforcement officers have already been quite active, with several tickets issued both on Okanagan Lake and some of the smaller lakes in the area such as Wood Lake,” said Chris Marrie, Transport Canada boating safety officer for the Okanagan. “When (boaters) are on the water they can expect to be met by the conservation officers, local police and on the boat ramps, there will be law enforcement as well as RCMP auxiliaries who will be checking boaters before they launch for compliance.” Marrie said the operators card is needed to drive anything from a small electric motor to a 300-horsepower inboard or outboard motor. The exam to get the operator card covers information that gives boaters the proper competency to be on the water. “In the Okanagan so far this year there have been three tragic accidents. We are encouraging people to respect the cold water and if you are boating, especially alone, to actually wear your life-jacket. People don’t realize just how little time you have when you fall into cold water, especially fully clothed without a lifejacket on — you probably won’t get back into your boat,” said Marrie. Boaters must pass a
36-question, multiplechoice exam with a 75 per cent passing grade
to get the operator card, which is good for life. While operating a boat,
both the driver’s operator card and government photo identifica-
tion must be present. Those who have waited until the last minute to
at the Bay Vernon
get their licence can still get certified in time for the boating season by
taking the exam online at www.boaterexam. com.

Garage sale, fashion show, art and silent auction, beef, beans and a dance. All events are part of Haugen Day in Armstrong Saturday to raise funds for the Haugen Community Health Care Society. “The proceeds from the day go to the society to help preserve primary health care in Armstrong,” said society fundraising chair Penny Taylor. The day kicks off at Askew’s parking lot at 8 a.m. with a massive garage sale and the Rotary pancake breakfast. Both events wrap up around noon. Things shift to the Hassen Arena at 2:30 p.m. for a fashion show organized by the Bargain Bin Boutique, operated by the health care auxiliary. During the fashion show, there will be a silent auction of items. LegendaryArmstrong auctioneer Don Raffan of Valley Auction will host his world famous beef, beans and beverages at the Hassen Arena. Following the fashion show, Raffan and his brother, Peter, will auction off art contributed by local artists. Haugen Day finishes with a dance at the

Controls stop Surveyors Morning Star Staff
Turn-Key Controls lived up to their name, locking up Monashee Surveying 4-0 in North Okanagan Men’s Soccer League action Wednesday at Marshall Field #2. The two teams battled to a scoreless stalemate at halftime, but Turn-Key (3-2) jumped ahead in the second half as Taylor Horsting sprung Chris Jahnig on a through ball that Jahnig buried with a left-footed blast. Jahnig scored again, also with the left foot, to make it 2-0. Midway through the half, Cameron Egan spotted Chris Harris alone for a breakaway that Harris converted to make it 3-0. Egan then headed home a world-class cross from his brother, Patrick, on a play set up by Kevin Fresorger. The defensive line of Nathan Tucker, Sam Nolan, Greg Finch, Tyler Flood, and Rob McGloin was solid in front of goaltender Jeremy Kler, who has combined with Spencer Brown to post three consecutive shutouts. Monashee dipped to 1-4. Davidson & Co. Dynamite settled for a 2-2 draw with host Salmon Arm Courvas in a seesaw battle Wednesday night at Little Mountain Sports Fields. Courvas struck first when their forward scurried up the

sideline and cut to the net to place a nice ball past Dynamite keeper Ean Ross. The 2-2-1 Nitros were quick to respond when Carson Haywood-Farmer fed Devin Laughren who banked his shot off a Courvas defender to score. In the second half, Davidson defender Jason Beck intercepted a Courvas pass and placed a ball to Jesse Knight, who outran the Courvas defence and beat the keeper to make it 2-1. Courvas, giving up their first point of the season, equalized on a broken play as their forward touched the ball past both defender Brad DeBoice and Ross before tucking it in the net. North Enderby Timber gave Kal Sports Bar a crash course in soccer 101, schooling the rookie-laden brew crew 12-1 Wednesday night at Marshall #2. Brent Paulson (3), John Orton (2), Kyle Halvorson (2), Brodie Couch, Scott Dobson, Harminder Sandhu, Sam Watson and Mike Watson handled the NET offence. The timber men, who led 9-1 at halftime, top the league standings at 5-1. Kal Sports bar are 0-5. The Concept Physio versus host Revelstoke Stallions match has been rescheduled for tonight.

It will be a weekend of old tales and fond memories as the Okanagan Masters assemble to host the 2010 Canadian Masters Lacrosse Championships beginning July 1 in Armstrong and Vernon. Action begins on Canada Day as the Hassen Arena will be the retro venue for the tournament opening as the host Okanagan Grand Masters will take on their opponent at 6:30 p.m., followed immediately by the Okanagan C Masters taking on a yet to be determined opponent. Masters lacrosse is a non-contact form of the game designed for players over 30. This year the age limit was reduced to accommodate more participation in the annual tournament. The Grand Masters division is for ages 45+ and will feature such players as former Shamrock greats Jim Maundrell, Lance McGregor, Adrien Lemaire, Doug Morrison, Wayne Christian, Ken McGregor and former Vernon Tiger greats Bill Kirkland, Rich Zecchel, Dale Rintoul and Jock Worth. The idea of playing at the Hassen came at last year's tournament. "Allen Watt and Gary Brunner both approached me and asked if it would be possible to play one last game of their career in the old Hassen barn," said Okanagan C team organizer Ryan Nitchie. "I talked to tournament chair Myles Brumpton about playing a doubleheader at the Hassen and he thought it was an awesome idea." The organizers are hopeful they will pack the old Hassen building just like the heyday years, especially with the veteran players returning. "It should be a very magical night especially for some of the retiring Grand Masters players to play with their old teammates in a venue that has so many great memories," said Brumpton, "I am hoping the barn is packed with fans to celebrate with the players so many great memories of lacrosse in Armstrong." The Okanagan C Masters will feature several of the current Shamrocks as well as some familiar faces from days past, including speedy Paul Lemaire, face off specialist Ryan Nitchie and his brother Kody Nitchie, and perhaps some surprises in the likes of the quick stick and sharp toungue of Brad Kirschner. The remainder of the Masters tournament will be played at arenas in Vernon, including Civic Arena and Wesbild Centre. The tourney wraps up on Saturday, July 3 with the medal games in the various divisions. Approximately 16 teams are expected from all over B.C., including Prince George and Vancouver Island. "This is a great opportunity for lacrosse fans to see some of the great lacrosse players of the century play. They may not have the speed they once possessed but the stick skills and floor sense are still there," said Brumpton. Meanwhile, the Shamrocks (4-1) visit the Kelowna Raiders (3-2) in Okanagan X-treme Lacrosse League action tonight at Memorial Arena. The last-place Vernon Tigers (1-4) are in Kamloops to face the 2-3 Kamloops Rattlers tonight.

Vernon Chick Kickers’ Kelly Challen (middle) battles with Okanagan Impact’s Dawn Lemiski (right) and Minda Chittenden in women’s masters division soccer action Tuesday night at Marshall Field #3.
Kickers draw Impact Morning Star Staff
A clash of top seeds in the North Okanagan Women's Soccer Association Masters Division settled little Tuesday night at Marshall Field #3. The Okanagan Impact and Vernon Chick Kickers played to a scoreless draw in a tough, back and forth contest featuring lots of scoring chances. The Impact received outstanding efforts from keeper Lisa Wright, who read and reacted strong on many close calls and one-on-one challenges. Figure girl Jodi Hawthorne displayed solid grit and fight in the midfield, while excellent work up front came from Cathy Bilton as well. "We just couldn't capitalize with a goal; however are proud of the shutout for sure," said Kris Ponto of the Impact. Chick Kicker keeper Dawn Tucker defended her goal well, making several key saves to stymie the Impact. The Tillicum Controllers shut down the Shuswap Merlot 3-0 in Masters play at Marshall Field #4. Danielle Dunsmore opened the Tillicum offence with a gorgeous goal unassisted. Corrine McWhinney made it 2-0 converting a corner cross by Tarra Head, who later completed the scoring with a direct shot on net. The Controllers held back the persistent Merlot with creative and tenacious defence by Jody Pope, Brandie Hunter and Sara Glen. Tillicum got great showings from Leslie Epp, Jacquie Nuyens, Krista Backer, Terese Webber and Bet Boyd. Goplen’s Drillers played a strong, consistent game to hold off the North Okanagan United 2-1 at Marshall Field #5. The Drillers were up 2-0 at the half with a goal from Tina Garrison who beat a defender and the keeper to the ball and knocked it in the back of the net. The second goal came off a through pass from wing half Nancy Nickoli to leading Drillers' scorer Lena Urquhart who calmly went around the keeper
and scored the eventual winner. NOU responded in the second half with a goal which saw Rita Tedesco feed (Lean) Lena Dean hovering in front of the net. It was the first game of the season NOU keeper Lydia Harrison who has been out with a bronchial problem. Harrison took on many 50/50 chances and was solid. Carla Gibson of NOU was outstanding in between numerous heads, running around tirelessly and controlling the game when she had ball possession. Kelly Megyesi, Drillers' player of the game, played a very strong defensive game and created several offensive opportunities for the forwards. Two goals from Maddie Kaneda powered Dr. Lee Dental/Checkers to a 5-0 Competitive Division win over the Fusion at Marshall #2. Jacquie Hansen opened the scoring on a long ball from Stephanie Wilson, then turned the defender inside out before blasting a 20 yarder into the top left corner. Bobbi Cormier made it 2-0, from Kim Teichman, before Kaneda rounded out the first half scoring from Teichman. Kaneda made it 4-0 midway through the second half, followed by Teichman on a 10 yard blast from the right wing. Lisa Arrotta earned the shutout. Lady of the match Loren Brunelle was outstanding on the backline. In other Competitive play, the AF Blazers defeated the NET Celtics 5-2 at Marshall #1. Toni Bensmiller opened the Blazer scoring by knocking in a cross from Ally Cummings. Jane Higgins scored off a direct free kick to put the Blazers up 2-0. Delihna Erbenich used her speed to net a pair of breakaway goals to end the first half. Higgins added her second midway through the second half. Blazer defenders Amanda Pecor and Anita Csatho had stellar games helping keeper Katie Hatten earn her third consecutive win. Paula Brownlee and Jane Higgins were awesome in the midfield.

She also employs some interesting crosstraining techniques in the off-season, spending this May 17 to 29 surfing camp in Costa Rica. Duke expressed excitement at joining the Heat squad for the coming season. “I’m pumped about the news of making the
bid for CIS and I just simply could not turn down such an amazing opportunity,” she said. “Plus (coach) Heather (Semeniuk) and the girls made me feel so welcome and comfortable after knowing them for one weekend, I can hardly wait to see what the future holds.” With such a positive attitude, Duke looks like a natural fit for coach Sem’s ‘family’-oriented team. “I am very pleased and excited about Nicole joining the UBC Okanagan Heat next season,” said Semeniuk. “Nicole is a quality person and an outstanding player that will bring depth and talent at the guard position.”

Point guard Nicole Duke has committed to the UBC Okanagan Heat women’s basketball squad for the 201011 BCCAA campaign. The 5-foot-5 Duke is transferring from with the Columbia Bible College Bearcats where she was named the team MVP the last two seasons. Duke, noted for her defensive abilities and offensive flair, will look to transition to more of a team player. When Duke suits up for the Heat in the fall, a period of adjustment will take place since she is not used to being surrounded with so much firepower, but she’s excited by the prospect. “I’m excited to learn from such a committed and experienced coach as well as from the incredible group of talented players already in place,” said Duke. Duke grew up in Sherwood Park, Alta., where she went to high school at perennial juggernaut Archbishop Jordan and led the Scots to third- and second-place finishes in her final two years, winning tournament all-star awards along the way. She was also an outstanding student averaging a GPA of 3.5 to 3.9 throughout high school, which she has parlayed to a bachelor’s degree with a major in

Defenceman Kevin Swales, a Vernon product, recently signed to play with the NAHL Dawson Creek Rage.
Swales Raging to play KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Playing defence for an expansion team which won just 11 games and finished third-last was hardly an amusement ride for Vernon's Kevin Swales. The 18-year-old made the best of the experience with the North Okanagan Knights of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. Now, he's preparing for a similar ride with the expansion junior A Dawson Creek Rage of the North American Hockey League, coached by former Enderby resident Scott Robinson. Instead of road trips to Nelson and Revelstoke, Swales and the Rage face perhaps the toughest away schedule on the planet in a league which includes the Chicago Hitmen, Fresno Monsters and Fairbanks Ice Dogs. "We're going to fly to our away games," said Swales. "There are three teams in Alaska when we go there. There is tons of excitement, right from the owners of the rink to the mayor, everyone's into the team. "The rink (EnCana Events Centre, which seats 4,800) reminds me of the Penticton rink, but not quite as big. They have the same kind of skyboxes." Swales proved he could play at the junior A pace when he got in four games with the BCHL Williams Lake Timberwolves. He played the Vipers once, Westside once and Salmon Arm twice, getting one assist against the SilverBacks. The 6-foot-2, 186-pounder collected 19 points and 47 penalty minutes in 45 games with the Knights. Swales committed to the Rage after a spring camp in Princeton. "They said they liked my foot speed and the way I moved the puck," said the Grade 12 VSS student. "Scott Robinson saw me play at a game in Armstrong and he said I was the best player on the ice. I had interest from Williams Lake, but from my point of view, I had no interest. I was very excited when Dawson Creek asked about me." Robinson, who said the Rage will "have a ton of 18-year-olds," is pumped about signing Swales. "First of all, he's a great kid, and a kid who has worked very hard to get his game to where it is today," said Robinson. "He can beat the first forechecker and get the puck up ice and create some scoring chances. We're very happy to have him."
The Rage – the only Canadian team in the league – will travel to Alaska, Washington State and California for in-conference games and New Mexico, Texas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Indiana and Illinois for inter-conference games. Robinson said the Rage have budgeted $200,000 to subsidize visiting teams. Swales showed well in the final Rage spring camp in Dawson Creek. There were 80 players with the top 30 plus six of 14 players who have committed with the Rage, participating in an Orange-Black game. "It went pretty good," said Swales. "It wasn't quite as fast as the camp they held in Princeton. There were a bunch of guys from B.C. and Alberta and one guy from Colorado who looked really good. There were more than 400 fans for the scrimmage. The city was a lot nicer than I thought. I really didn't have any expectations going up there." A great outdoors lover, Swales blossomed while finishing second among North Okanagan blueliners in points. "Losing wasn't so much fun with an expansion team. About the only thing you can really hope for is personal gain and get better with lots of ice time, and we had two really good coaches in Eddie (Johnstone) and Dave (Dupas). I learned a lot from both of them." Kevin, whose cousin, Thomas Swales, has agreed to play for the KIJHL Osoyoos Coyotes next fall, hopes to secure a NCAA scholarship in the next two years. The league places 85 to 90 players in Division 1 schools each year. Former Viper d-man Patrick Raley of Chicago signed a deal Wednesday with St. Lawrence Saints in New York. Raley had 26 points in 33 games with the St. Louis Bandits of the NAHL last year. The Rage, meanwhile, chose forward Tyson McCallum of the Midget Quad Caribou Cougars with the first pick in Wednesday's NAHL draft. The 6-foot-4, 170-pound Dawson Creek product had 12 goals and 46 penalty minutes in Prince George last year. Dawson Creek selected forward Dakota Mason of the Southside Athletic Club in Edmonton, Carter Page of the Calgary Midget Flames and Brett Zarazun of the North Island Silver Tips with their next three picks.
The Kalamalka Lakers claimed silver after falling 42-15 to the South Kamloops Titans in the goldmedal game of the Okanagan Junior Boys Rugby Championships Wednesday in Kamloops. After going without much possession in the first 10 minutes, Kal opened the scoring when Nathan Meyer stretched his legs for a long try. Nacho Fernandez supplied the convert, and kicked a penalty later in the half. The Titans earned a pair of tries in the first half and then cranked up the offence in the second. “They came out strong right off the get-go and scored three quick tries that had us reeling,” said Kal head coach Brad Marsh. After adjusting their game-plan, the Lakers were able to generate better ball movement later in the game. “I’m extremely proud of the boys because they didn’t give up,” said Marsh. Adam McLaughlin completed the Laker offence with a hard-running try from 12 yards out. Kal orchestrated a 12-phase push to set up the play. ■ The No. 9 ranked Fulton Maroons will battle No. 8 Southridge Storm of Surrey in first-round B.C. Senior AA Boys Rugby Championships action Saturday (1:30 p.m.) at
Kamloops Rugby Park. Fulton qualified for the provincials by brushing back the Kelowna Christian Knights 20-10 in the Valley final last week. The No. 11-ranked Knights face the sixthranked Aldergrove Totems at 11:30 a.m.
Saturday in Kamloops. There are other first-round games at Brentwood College in Mill Bay and St. George's School in Vancouver. The quarterfinals and placing games go Wednesday at the Abbotsford Rotary Stadium.

Stars soar past Bulldogs in Game 7 Armstrong’s Aaron Gagnon has helped the Texas Stars earn a berth in the American Hockey League’s Memorial Cup. After giving up a pair of goals in the first five minutes, the Stars rallied with four straight goals to earn a 4-2 decision in Game 7 of the Western Conference final Wednesday night at Copps Coliseum in Hamilton. Gagnon has six goals, three helpers and a respectable plus-8 rating in 18 playoffs games. Texas will face the Eastern Conference champion Hershey Bears in the championship series, beginning June 3 in Hershey, Penn.
Downhillers dig Nanaimo course The Vernon downhill biking crew were outstanding in a Nanaimo race last Saturday. “The course was long, wet, rooty, muddy, tight in the trees, all at high speed with high consequence,” said Vernon’s Cynthia Kapicki. Dan Kolasko (Team Olympia Cycle) was first in the Master 50+ at 4:35.77, while Regan Hogelie placed fifth in Senior Men (19-29) in 3:56.93. Brian Hammond (Team Olympia Cycle) finished 13th in Master Men 30-39 at 4:13.85, while Noah Brousseau was 15th in U17 Men (15-16) at 4:09.28. A.J. Cleary survived two crashes over the handlebars and finished the Elite Men race in 4:03.53. Kapicki raced the Pivot Mach 5 Cross Country the next day and came in second in Citizen 20+ Women 9 km in 47 minutes. “It was a tough steep uphill gravel grind, gnarly narrow single track downhill in the wet, slippery terrain....mud and blood,” she said.
Sun land Prairie prospect The Okanagan Sun are beefing up the offensive line for the upcoming B.C. Football Conference season. The Sun have added 17-year-old lineman Drew Digout (pronounced Digoo), a blue chip prospect out of Saskatoon. The 6-foot-3, 280-pounder helped the Aden Bowman Collegiate Bears earn three consecutive city high school championships, plus a provincial crown last fall. Digout was named to the Northern provincial all-star team as well as Top Offensive Lineman at the Saskatchewan Senior Bowl. The hulking teen was high on Sun head coach Pete McCall’s wish list after he turned in an outstanding spring camp in Kelowna three weeks ago. “I see Drew as being an impact player for us right from the get-go. You could spot him at spring camp right away. He was matched up against Doege (BCFC all-star defensive lineman Steve Doege) and I think he had Doege cussing a bit. He had his hands up in his throat and was keeping him out of there. He was definitely not afraid to mix it up, he held his own all afternoon.”
Riva rates well at Westerns Vernon BMX Club racer Tyler Riva had a stellar weekend at the Canadian BMX series Western National #1 and #2 last weekend in Abbotsford. On Saturday, Riva ranked four in the 11 Expert division and claimed bronze in the 10-12 boys Cruiser class. Riva followed that with a fifth in 11 Expert and third in 10-12 Crusier Sunday. More than 150 riders competed in the event.

Club eyes growth Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Speed Skating Club has been in existence for 18 years with co-founder Peter Blokker the only original member currently holding title as head coach. Holding their own on registration numbers, the club attracted some much needed high-energy type directors willing to take on future challenges such as dwindling lottery allocations. The club hopes the post-Olympic buzz, along with the hosting of the 2012 B.C. Winter Games, will draw new skaters. “We are also initiating an optional weekly program designed for the competitive skater," said president Pete Kapak. "Level II and B.C. Winter Games regional coach Chris Acton, from Kelowna, will also include dryland-related training sessions." The Vernon club will continue to stress the family concept benefit with kids and parents of all ages and abilities sharing ice sessions together. Competitions are optional. Half of the club's 20 skaters chose to compete last season, others using the program for fun and conditioning. One major hurdle Vernon faces is lack of Olympicice size to host major competitions. Kamloops has hosted national teams for training, including China and the Netherlands. “Revenue generated from these activities creates valuable exposure to the sport, increasing local participation, and lending itself to such events as a recent open house including kids racing the mayor and also meeting Olympic gold-medalist Deny Morrison." Kapak said his club was offered a chance to host the Western Canadian championships next spring, but due to ice dimensions, Kamloops, Matsqui and Surrey are the only eligible sites. “Vernon extended its graphics this past year with a joint venture with Armstrong Parks and Rec in assisting with a program at the new Armstrong arena," said Kapak. “Registration numbers were not overwhelming but we expect to gain a few new members because of the exposure to a new market.” Kapak said the club is seeking sponsorship, in full or in partnership, for next season. If any business or community service club is interested, they are asked to call Pete at 545-3048. The club's website is: www. vernonspeedskating.com.

Gowie gunning for B.C. squad KEVIN MITCHELL
NEED WATER? WE DELIVER!
Sports Editor
Another camp, another successful showing for Vernon's Alex Gowie. The speedy 17-year-old winger was one of 26 players from a field of 51 making the grade at a grueling Team B.C Under 18 Female Cup camp which ended Monday in Salmon Arm. Earlier this spring, Gowie boosted the Pandas to the gold medal in a jamboreestyle tournament in Duncan. The chosen 26 now move on to a development camp July 1 on Vancouver Island. There will be just six players released. The final 20 will represent the province in the UBC International Tournament, Sept. 23-25. Gowie, who helped the Thompson-Okanagan Rockets win the B.C. Midget Tier 1 Female Hockey Championships in Prince George, had to work extra hard in Salmon Arm, where the camp started Thursday. "We had three teams and everyday we had off-ice skills and dryland, a practice and two games," said Gowie. "I felt good. It was hard, but I knew what to expect because I went to a camp last year. It was tough with two games a day. They look at players who can fight through that." The coaches and evaluators liked Gowie's conditioning and wheels. "They said I didn't give up and they liked my skat-

I'm more of a forechecker and skater and I'm usually a scorer but I didn't score in camp." Team B.C. will compete in the Canada Winter Games, Feb. 11-27, in Halifax. To reach her goal of making the final roster, Gowie, a Grade 11 VSS student, plans to practise her stickhandling under hockey trainer Aaron Hoffman this summer. Gowie will write her SATS next week in hopes of secur-
ing a university scholarship. She will complete her minor hockey career with Pursuit of Excellence in Kelowna next season. Meanwhile, Ben King and Cameron Moger of Vernon helped the Kelowna 2002 All Stars win the Gold Championship at the Challenge Cup, 2-1 in overtime against the undefeated B.C. Bears in Burnaby. Moger opened the scoring at the nine-minute mark of the first period and that goal held up until the Vancouver-
based Bears equalized with two minutes left. Riley Dobranski of Kelowna scored in OT. In the roundrobin, the Kelowna All Stars crushed the Westside Flyers 10-1, slammed the Steveston Sharks 15-0 and ripped the Young Guns of Vancouver 16-1. In the quarterfinal, King scored the winner in OT in a 6-5 win over the Vancouver Selects Blacks 6-5. The All-Stars took care of Kamloops Runners 9-2 in the semifinals.

0OWERHOUSE IS NUMBER ONE IN THE ZONE harder to pull off in companies where there are several new players, both on the stage and behind the scenes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job is to bring everyone up to the same level.â&#x20AC;? He described this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s O-Zone selection as a vast array of challenging, contemporary plays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backed away from doing challenging work just because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be adjudicated,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used it as an opportunity to bring the standards of the individual departments up a notch â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; technology, multi-media, lighting and actual script selection as well.â&#x20AC;? McIlroy also said he discovered a couple of young performers, including Cunliffe, that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommended go to theatre school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take his advice,â&#x20AC;? said Cunliffe, who is working in construction this summer and plans to head out to Vancouver in the fall to audition for various theatre schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came to the realization that you need a foot in the door, and at Salmon Arm, the door was opened.â&#x20AC;? Cunliffe and fellow Monument cast member Debra Bob and the Powerhouse crew are gearing up to stage The Monument at the Mainstage Festival to be held in Kamloops, July 2 to 10. Also picking up awards at the O-Zones was longtime Powerhouse volunteer Willem Roell, who received the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ozzieâ&#x20AC;? award for his dedication to the theatre. Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Asparagus Community Theatre also picked up awards for best supporting actor, Lindsay Grout, as well as best ensemble for Norm Fosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office Hours. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With files from Barb Brouwer at the Salmon Arm Observer.
Young actor receives top prize for his role as a tortured soldier KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Powerhouse Theatre has a new monument to go along with its festival entry play this year. Powerhouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation of Colleen Wagnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Monument picked up the coveted Bill Allum Cup after winning best production at the Okanagan Zone (O-Zone) Drama Festival, hosted last week by the Shuswap Theatre in Salmon Arm. Presented along with six other entries from community theatre groups in the region, The Monument will now represent the Okanagan zone at Theatre BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mainstage Festival. The play also saw Eugene Leveque pick up the award for best set design, and young Vernon actor Brennan Cunliffe, who plays tortured soldier Stetko, win for best actor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt very honoured. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 19 years old, so getting this award is amazing. I put a lot of hard work into it, and (director) Jo Jones put a lot of faith and trust in me,â&#x20AC;? said Cunliffe. The Monument follows a soldier accused of war crimes who is unexpectedly saved from execution only to be delivered into a life of torment at the hands of a mysterious woman in this powerfully written, Bosniainspired play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The play has an effect on all kinds of people, who watch it: mothers, fathers...,â&#x20AC;? said Cunliffe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was this energetic drainage while doing The Monument.

An instructor at his Second Avenue Studios and the Vancouver Film School, McIlroy says his main rule of law, about which he remains dogmatic, is seeing the words in the script come to life on the stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking for is consistency in design, performance, directing,â&#x20AC;? he told the Salmon Arm Observer, noting that it is

3WEET SOUNDS SPREAD FOR CAUSE Morning Star Staff
Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own up-and-coming funk-rock dance band Strawberry Jam plays a live, non-profit concert at the Talkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Donkey Coffee House today to support those affected by human trafficking. The charity-based coffee house is hosting a weekend dedicated to raising money for the cause, and is donating 50 per cent of its profits. Strawberry Jam was asked to kick off the weekend with a bang, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do just that, clearing the tables off the floor to make room for a high-energy
dance party, said singer-songwriter-guitarist Orion Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We enjoy nothing more than a jam,â&#x20AC;? he said, and it is reflected directly in the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s songs, their style, and the way they play together. Writing and arranging all of their own songs, Strawberry Jam is quickly breaking into the music scene with their catchy tunes and inspiring lyrics. The seven-piece group also consists of singer-guitarist-songwriter Tristan Charbonneau, keyboardist Marina Durham, bass-
ist Neil Graham, percussionist/ vocalist Caren Miller, drummer Connor Johnston, and Pat Spohr on harmonica/percussion. The group has a unique danceable sound, fusing a wide variety of musical styles into their own, and is known for their untamed stage presence and contagious energy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crowds are often singing along and always dancing,â&#x20AC;? said Miller. Doors for the Talkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Donkey event open at 7:30 p.m., and the show will begin at 8 p.m. with a $5 cover charge at the door.

Victoria’s top alternative theatre company returns to the O’Keefe Ranch Thursday with one of its latest shows, Cariboo Buckaroo. First shown at the ranch last August, the latest show by SKAM writer/director Matthew Payne is a comedic cowboy yarn, developed in partnership with the Xeni Gwet’in. The true tall tale of an 1860s’ cattle-drive, full of surprise, magic and beans, the story follows a beef train through the territory about to be named British Columbia, where an old hand tells stories to a young greenhorn who longs to be a real buckaroo. Visitors will hear about the overlanders who trudge from Winnipeg to B.C., the Chilcotin War and the strange tale of James “Cariboo” Cameron, his wife, and her globe-trotting coffin. Between the music, many laughs and moments of insight, you’ll get a crash-course in B.C. history that’s charmingly told and great fun for the whole family. Cariboo Buckaroo starts at 4 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults, and $10 for kids under 14, and must be purchased in advance by calling O’Keefe Ranch at 250-542-7868 or visit okeeferanch.ca for more information.

Release the Hounds Court Yard Hounds
I
t appears that some of the Dixie Chicks got bored with their selfimposed lay-off, and got restless and creative, hence the Court Yard Hounds. Two-thirds of the Dixie Chicks, sisters Emily Robison and Marty Maguire, take over centre stage with a vengeance on this album, and it’s revealing Dean Gordon-Smith and interesting to realize how much of the Dixie Chicks sound is contained by these siblings. They are the core of that band, and have made what sounds like a serious move on their own in a slightly different direction. Court Yard Hounds is heavy on the sororal vocal harmony thing that sisters seem to possess like a sixth sense. Those soaring vocals are all over this album, every track, making good songs sound even better. The Coast is one such song; an uplifting and strummy track that comes alive and takes off when the sisters sing in unison. Robison handles the lead vocal and demonstrates a smoother, less strident tone that her erstwhile Dixie Chick front person. Is Natalie Maines missed or invoked on this album? No and no. The Hounds are all about inspira-

Sisters Marty Maguire and Emily Robison harmonize as the Court Yard Hounds. tion and versatility: the country-rock songwriting, the aforementioned harmonies and the multi-faceted musicianship. The songs and performances shine. Delight (Something New Under the Sun) starts gently, moves on to a fine groove and then segues to a surging breakdown out of the blue. It’s a beautifully structured piece of music that could play on for much longer than it does. That also applies to the album. Robison and Maguire visit a moody ambiance from time to time, often enhanced by Maguire’s viola. The thoughtful acoustic ballad Fear of Wasted Time makes sweet use of the sisters’ glowing harmonies, which is echoed by a lovely dobro lead from Robison. And as should be, the bluegrass roots come twanging through on Ain’t No Son, going from a drone to some intense “git”-down foot stomping. There’s a lot to listen to on Court Yard Hounds.

Recycling bins stay in place BARB BROUWER Black Press
Recyclers will be stretching their arms over their heads for a while yet. Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors have voted six-to-five to maintain the existing bin configuration at their recycling sites. Despite numerous complaints about difficulty in reaching up to the slots to deposit recyclables, some directors balked at the costs required to make the bins more accessible. Rene Talbot Waste management coordinator Ben Van Nostrand said bringing bin openings down to eye level would cost an additional $65,000 in 2010 and could be as high as $115,000 per year in 2011. Lowering the openings to eye level would reduce the holding capacity of the bins by five cubic yards. The costs would be driven up by the need for service provider Emterra to make more frequent trips to remove the recyclables. A second option in which a catwalk could be placed at each recycle depot would cost approximately $5,000 to $7,500 per site and additional costs would be incurred in increased site maintenance, said Van Nostrand. “Total costs incurred are estimated at $100,000,” he wrote, noting that if directors decided to leave bin access as it is, CSRD staff would encourage people who can’t reach the openings to take a small
step from home. Director Fred Busch said he was opposed to leaving access to bins as is and asking people to bring their own ladders. Director Ted Bacigalupo agreed. “How many sites do we have? Twenty four altogether,” he asked in frustration. “If someone falls off their own steps, sure as hell we’ll be liable. Lower the bin to eye level.” CSRD manager Darcy Mooney explained that public response to co-mingled recycling has been 40 per cent higher, already necessitating extra hauls. But directors René Talbot and Rhona Martin both favoured installation of a catwalk system at each of the regional district’s recycling sites.

Anti-HST petition a rout Lonsdale, both West Van seats, and three Surrey seats held by the NDP. Some of these, as well as Prince GeorgeMackenzie, are probably done by the time you read this.) Still, it’s safe to assume the first successful initiative in B.C. history is upon us. So what’s next? Hansen showed his cards a bit last week. B.C.’s Tom Fletcher never-used initiative law says the petition must be referred to a B.C. Liberal-controlled committee, which will have the option of referring the issue to a provincewide referendum or turning the petition into a bill to present to the legislature. “They had a referendum in California a few years back on tax measures,” Hansen said. “It’s
not serving them very well today.” Back here in B.C., you may have heard that some national chain stores have had a bit of difficulty with the PST exemptions that have been attached in recent years. Stores have inadvertently charged PST for things like fire extinguishers, and remitted it to Victoria. Also gone are exemp-
tions for over-thecounter medications, adult-sized clothes for bigger kids, caulking and insulation. B.C. residents can manage without these political sops, the main result of retaining provincial authority over sales taxes. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

he anti-HST petition drive is closing in on its goal, with all of June still to go. It’s a rout in most of the province for the motley mujahadeen that runs under the ragged banner of shrub merchant Bill Vander Zalm and tax warrior Carole James. It recently fell to me to advise a group of fresh recruits in Harrison Hot Springs that there was no urgent need to drive to Chilliwack and sign the thing. By early May the B.C. Liberal bedrock of ChilliwackHope already had almost twice the signatures it needs to qualify under B.C.’s initiative legislation. There are pockets of resistance to the antiHST jihad, and they are oddly distributed. Zalm and his field commanders like to talk tough about Point Grey, the leafy redoubt of Premier Gordon Campbell. Perfect place for a “targeted recall” effort, they hint, should the government use its majority to stall or ignore the petition. But Point Grey is where the Fight HST forces have had their feeblest effort so far, with only 31 per cent of their target met as of May 16. Up in Peace River South, a place spiritually aligned with Alberta, they had that many signatures the first day. By pouring insurgents into the coffee shops of Kerrisdale and Dunbar, the Fight HST forces should win the Vancouver areas where their start has been slowest. But strangely, NDP strongholds of Kensington, Kingsway and Mount Pleasant are also notably sluggish about rising up against the HST, along with Finance Minister Colin Hansen’s Quilchena and the swing seat of Vancouver-West End. (For the record, at last count Fight HST also remained short of its goal in AbbotsfordMission, Abbotsford West, all seven Burnaby and Coquitlam-area seats, all three Richmond seats, North Vancouver-

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Utilize your imagination and involve yourself in some kind of creative endeavor. If you can find a worthwhile project that needs doing and tests your talents as well, all the better. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) People who meet you for the first time will find you to be an interesting and fun person to know. More than one will consider developing a close friendship with you to be most desirable. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Before launching a new project over the weekend, finalize one you started that needs completion. With it out of the way, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be free to start something new. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Stop waiting to hear from someone whom youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been hoping would call, and get in touch with friends whom you know would want to do something together. Establish your own good times. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Something youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wanted for some time could come your way under very pleasant circumstances. There might even be more in it for you than you had hoped or anticipated. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a chance to liberate yourself from whatever it is that has been restricting your independence.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Although youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a naturalborn leader, for reasons of your own, you are likely to be more comfortable staying in the background.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Be the catalyst who draws everyone together for a common, beneficial purpose. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re apt to come up with an activity that is not only worthwhile, but pleases the group as well. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You might first have to be convinced to join in, but once you do, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll realize you possess all the selfassuredness needed to enjoy group activities. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Although youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re extremely capable of coming up with your own ideas, if you listen carefully to what others have to say, you might hear a brainstorm that is even better than yours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) When called upon, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to help sort out a critical development for another today. Although youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll expect nothing back in return, something nice will be done for you in repayment.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder Ingrid Bergman said, “I’ve never sought success in order to get fame and money; it’s the talent and the passion that count in success.” In American duplicate tournaments, where there are no prizes, it’s talent and counting that result in success. The more counting you and your partner do, the more successful you will be -- and the more masterpoints you will accumulate to count. This deal highlights an important aspect of defensive counting. You are East, defending against three no-trump. Partner leads the club queen. What would you do? North is a trick too strong for his three-diamond rebid,
but anything else would be a gamble. (A three-notrump rebid would show this strong a hand, but the lack of a stopper in either of the unbid suits is a monster minus. If NorthSouth belong in three notrump, South ought to be the declarer.) First, read partner’s lead -what does it tell you? Since West is leading top of touching honors, he does not have the club king. Declarer must have that card. Next, how many tricks does declarer have ready to run? He has two hearts, seven diamonds (even if South is void, West’s queendoubleton is dropping) and one club (that king). So, it cannot be right to win with
the club ace and return a club. Declarer will claim at least one overtrick. The only chance for the defense is to cash four spade tricks now. You must win with your club ace and shift to the spade queen -bingo!

Mara Lake algal bloom leaves lasting impression BARB BROUWER Black Press
The stink may be gone but the memory lingers on. A large, algal bloom that was first observed on Mara Lake at the mouth of the Shuswap River May 11 and covered most of the lake two days later, as well as parts of Shuswap Lake, appears to have subsided. Gabriele Matscha, environmental section head with the Ministry of Environment, said yesterday that B.C. park rangers who patrolled Shuswap Lake between Sicamous and Anglemont, as well as Seymour and Anstey arms, over the long weekend did not observe any sign of the algal bloom. All is not entirely clear however. “Some volunteer water samplers noticed reduced water clarity east of Blind Bay on the south shore of Shuswap Lake’s main arm and the MOE is looking into this to see if this has anything to do with the algal bloom,” Matscha says. This year’s bloom was composed of the same algae that made up the Shuswap Lake bloom of 2008 that stretched some 50 kilometres from Salmon Arm Bay to Cinnemousin Narrows and eventually to Copper Island. The single-celled algae, Ochromonas, thrives in clear water during the spring, while competition from other algae is still relatively low, said Matscha when the bloom first appeared. Matscha says MOE is working with several partners, including the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, Interior Health, Shuswap Water Action Team Society (SWAT), Swansea Point Community Association and other residents to monitor water quality in the lakes. “Our office has worked and is working with various partners on seven water quality projects in the Shuswap and Mara lakes in 2009 and 2010,” she says. “We focus more water quality monitoring efforts on Shuswap Lake than on any other area in our region.” But SWAT president Ray Nadeau would like more testing done on a regular basis and a board
to oversee it. “We’d like to see a similar arrangement to the Okanagan where they have a watershed board
and they are doing continuous water sampling, testing and monitoring on their lake,” he says. “SLIPP (Shuswap
Lake Integrated Planning Process) has called for the same thing and it is clear we need funding support.”
It’s simple
Nadeau says he believes taxpayers would support such a direction if the board was properly structured and funds col-
lected were directed to the lake and not to general revenue. “We want permanent funding like in the
Okanagan and we think we’d be looking at something like $13,” he says of taxpayers’ annual contribution.

Terrace Mountain crawling with wild mushrooms JUDIE STEEVES Black Press
To lovers of wild morel mushrooms, the only good forest may be an ashy, gray one. It’s a mystery to scientists why forest fires prompt a flush of the gourmet morel mushroom to pop out of the ground the following spring, but the blackened forest where the Terrace Mountain wildfire went through last summer is crawling with wild mushroom foragers this week. In addition, wild mushroom buyers have set up shop in the ashen landscape to collect the delicate edibles for transport to ready markets, where they fetch a good price, compared to the common meadow mushroom. Mycologist Dan Durall of UBCO speculates the morels’ appearance could be linked to the heat shock from the fire, which may trigger dormant spores into fruiting, producing the distinctive, knobby mushroom cap with the delicate flavour. Obviously the spores resist damage by fire, he noted. However, moisture is always a requirement as well, and there’s been no shortage of that the past week or so in the Okanagan. But, it’s because the requirements of morels are unpredictable that they’re not cultivated commercially, so wild ones are much sought after, commented Durall. They occasionally grow in the live forest, but they appear densely and predictably the first year following a forest fire. In fact, it’s known that some buyers will peruse B.C.’s forest ministry website to find out where forest fires occurred the previous year and make plans where to go and pick the following spring. Shannon Berch, a research scientist into soils for the forests ministry, says it’s mostly in the first year following fire that the morels proliferate on the forest floor, with fewer in succeeding years.
She says no permits or licences are required for wildcrafting in B.C. forests, so gathering of berries, boughs and fern

was being fought,” she commented, adding, “Mushrooms are good concentrators of things.”
The period of availability varies with the species of morel, the elevation and how far north or south in the
province that harvesters travel, but usually the mushrooms are only available for a few weeks in one spot, she said.

One of the gardens in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s People Place Garden Tour honours the memory and living legacy of a dedicated gardener, Shirley Miller. The intriguing stroll garden had been sadly neglected in the years since she left it, until Eric Kowalski bought it three years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember that I used to peek through the back hedge and think that I had never seen such a beautiful garden. I never dreamed I would ever own it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was under snow when I got it and I saw it gradually emerge as the snow melted. It seemed like there had been an all-out assault on it, with an old oil tank removed from the ground and garbage, including old diapers, all over, but you could still see the beauty in it.â&#x20AC;? He was not discouraged. He learned to garden from his father and has always loved gardening. He got to work cleaning up and clearing out the overgrown plants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still discovering plants.

I struggled (and resented) supplying 50 per cent of our common expenses. A few years ago, I started contributing only 10 per cent of my income and have managed to accumulate a little savings. I feel so much better, and she never once gave me a hard time about it. She said to contribute whatever I could. She never traveled without me simply because I couldn’t afford the trip. I suggest that “Exhausted” hire a cook and a house cleaner and pay them out of their common income so she feels less exploited. If her husband doesn’t want to travel with her, she should go on her own. Maybe she’ll meet someone kinder. — Virginia Reader
Counselor brings The Work to Vernon Morning Star Staff
When people kept recommending the book Loving What Is by Byron Katie to counselor/ therapist Lisa Webster, she was intrigued. “After reading the first three chapters, I tried the technique called ‘The Work’ on Lisa Go myself and was astounded by the immediate results I experienced,” she said. She decided she wanted to add teaching the Work to her training and learned the technique in Los Angeles. She is currently in the facilitator training program. “I continue to do the work every day and my life is getting better and better. The approach is different from more traditional psychotherapies because it deals with what you are thinking first and foremost,” said Webster, who likes the straight forward Four Questions which help people to look at their thoughts and issues in a new way. “This approach is fantastic because it is simple to do alone or with another person. My workshops are designed to help people become comfortable with the technique, get lots of practice, and feel confident to use the technique in their lives.” The Work was developed by Byron Katie, a California businesswoman, when she became
severely depressed in her early 30s. She discovered that when she believed her thoughts, she suffered but when she didn’t believe them, she didn’t suffer which led her to believe that suffering is optional and she experienced a sense of freedom and joy. Webster has facilitated a number of workshops based on The Work. Her The Work workshop takes place Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at The People Place. For more information and registration contact Webster at www.theworkcanada.com or call Lynn Wende at 250-558-4695.
Dear Virginia: We hope they have a common income she can access. Your wife wants to vacation with you and is sensible enough to understand that the disparity in income means she should pay a higher percentage of the cost. “Exhausted,” unfortunately, does not have a spouse like that.

Lack of price cut on alcohol leaves sour aftertaste TOM FLETCHER Black Press
NDP critics took a few stiff shots at Finance Minister Colin Hansen Tuesday for the phase-in of the harmonized sales tax on alcoholic beverages, which gives restaurants a small tax cut but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pass on any savings at the local liquor store. To cut the bite of the HST and its extension of provincial sales tax to a range of previously exempt services, the province is watering down its existing liquor sales tax from 10 per cent to the HST-standard seven per cent as of July 1. Thus the Liberal government frequently points out that while restaurant meal taxes will jump by seven per cent, the tax on the wine or cocktail served with it is actually going down. Liquor stores will see the same reduced provincial tax on July 1. But in Februaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget Hansen revealed that he has instructed the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monopoly Liquor Distribution Branch to keep shelf prices the same by raising the wholesale price, so the three per cent saving wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show up in either government or private liquor stores. In question period at the Legislature Tuesday, opposition politicians demanded to know how the government would respond to the imminent success of an anti-HST initiative petition that is coming close to its goal of 10 per cent of registered voters in each of B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 85 constituencies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the HST takes effect, the government says that business will pass the savings on to consumers,â&#x20AC;? said Leonard Krog, NDP MLA for Nanaimo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Will the minister admit that the government is simply leading the charge on pocketing the savings and stiffing consumers in British Columbia?â&#x20AC;? Hansen replied with a plug for B.C. wines, beers and ciders, noting that the government expects to reduce taxes for restaurant-served libations by $30 million. Pressed further on the wholesale alcohol price hike, Hansen recalled that the NDP campaigned last year to roll back the price
discount given to private liquor stores. A private liquor industry group said the NDP policy would
add as much as $3 to the price of a cold sixpack from their stores. At the time, NDP leader Carole James
wholesale discount to 16 per cent off the government store retail rate. The company that
runs Liquor Depot and Liquor Barn stores in B.C. and Alberta enjoyed a 24 per cent increase in profits after
the price break, which suggests they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pass much of those savings on to their customers, the NDP said.

Linda Noreen DeGagne It is with our most heartfelt sadness and regret that we announce the passing of our mentor, teacher, protector and friend, Linda Noreen DeGagne. Surrounded by her family, she passed away peacefully on May 20, 2010, in Vernon Jubilee Hospital, at the young age of 65 years. Linda was a loving, loyal and devoted wife of Adelarde Alcide DeGagne. The love they shared surpassed all obstacles in life, and grew every passing day for forty-seven years. She leaves to mourn her passing her four children: Stephanie (Lloyd) Marshall, Paul (Tina) DeGagne, Sherri Hakkarainen, Angel (Jeff) Haydukewich; ten grandchildren; two great grandchildren. She also touched the lives of many along the way who became like family to her. She was predeceased by her mother Noreen, brother Frederick and granddaughter Karalyn. Linda taught her family to enjoy the little things in life, and to be non-judgmental. Her memory will live on in everyone of us and through our laughter, kindness and the simple humming of songs. She will be greatly missed by us all and we know she will be with us in dreams. We Love You A private family gathering will be held to celebrate her life on Friday, May 28.
