Potential prison sites top out at 11 RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Many Lumby residents are expressing shock that almost a dozen properties could host a prison. It’s long been known that one or two properties in the industrial park could be the site of a proposed jail, but more than 500 residents were told Wednesday that the number of locations is much higher. “There are 11 properties within the village boundaries,” said Greg Routley, a North Okanagan Regional District planner, during an information session at Charles Bloom Secondary School. “The majority are within the industrial park area. There are also several properties on the westerly boundary.” The properties were based on Ministry of Public Safety criteria that they are more than 20 acres in size and not in the Agricultural Land Reserve. Water and sewer servicing is also possible at all sites. These details caught some residents off guard. “It’s hard to believe we have 11 properties that qualify and there was only one in Kelowna,” said Barbara Fresz, referring to land the ministry owns in Kelowna that’s been abandoned because of public protest. Fresz also demanded to know if the ministry has already selected Lumby for a 360cell facility. “Have we picked Lumby? No,” said Brent Merchant, assistant deputy minister of the corrections branch. “The people of Lumby will make that decision (during an April 30 referendum).” The 11 property owners have been contacted and while some are interested in pursuing a correctional facility, others are not. Rezoning would be required for all of the sites. Many of the speakers expressed concern that a prison with upwards of 720 inmates could put a strain on local infrastructure, including policing, paramedics, water, sewer, and that taxpayers would be left picking up the bill. “How much waste will be pumped into our landfill?” asked Sherry Kineshanko. Village officials estimate they could receive an annual $1.1 million grant-in-lieu of property taxes from the provincial government for a prison. “We always want to be a good corporate citizen,” said Ted Howard, with the B.C. Corrections Branch, adding that the terms of grants and covering infrastructure costs are negotiated with the host community.

Resident Paul Fisher (above) takes to the microphone during a public debate on a proposed prison in Lumby Wednesday, while Doug Brown (below) asks a question about the potential impact of a jail on industrial land.
Resident Doug Brown asked if a jail could restrict activities on adjacent land. “Industrial land is very valuable. “If a wood chipper is running next to the facility, will you have issues with it?” he said.
“We don’t control the land we don’t own,” responded Merchant. Questions also revolved around who would be held in a prison and would crime increase if they decide to stay in Lumby after

being released. “I want to know how you will accommodate us to get these questionable characters out of the community? We don’t have bus lines,” said Dawne Kineshanko. Merchant says released inmates are taken to the nearest bus depot and generally sent to their home town. A facility would house both remanded and sentenced individuals. The ministry states the average stay for those on remand — waiting to appear before a judge — is 37 days and it’s 72 days for those who are sentenced. Most of the crimes are related to break and enter, robbery, assault and drug trafficking, but murder and sexual assault suspects can be in remand. “All of our buildings are built to maximum security standards,” said Merchant. “I’ve lived close to a jail and I’ve never had a problem.” Mayor Kevin Acton believes some questions about grants and the potential impact on infrastructure will have to wait until after the referendum. “The province won’t spend any money on a business case until they know what the community wants,” he said. 2514 Hwy 97N.

News Office strives for fair government RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
B.C. Ombudsperson Kim Carter speaks at the Rotary Club of Vernon’s weekly meeting Wednesday at the Best Western Vernon Lodge about the mandate of the Office of the B.C. Ombudsperson.
British Columbians have a place to turn if they believe they have been wronged by government. The B.C. Ombudsperson’s Office investigates complaints about all provincial ministries and Crown corporations, colleges and universities, school districts, health boards, municipalities and self-governing professions. “Our goal in the office is that all British Columbians have access to fair government,� said Kim Carter, ombudsperson, during a presentation to the Vernon Rotary Club Wednesday. “The Ombudsperson’s Office is independent and impartial. My office is not accountable to a particular party or administration but to the Legislature.� The office responds to about 8,000 inquiries and complaints a year, and it opens about 2,300 files a year. “Our focus is on the individual and how the individual is treated by government and authorities,� said Carter, who is a lawyer and was appointed ombudsperson in 2006. In one case, a woman turned to the office after she sustained a workplace injury and surgery would impact the use of one hand. She needed both hands because of a digestive disorder and special hygiene concerns, but WorkSafe B.C. would not provide help. “She was worried she couldn’t feed herself,� said Carter.
“We contacted WorkSafe and investigated. They took rapid steps to look into the situation.� Ultimately, home care was provided. In another case, a man had just moved into a new condominium when he received a substantial bill from B.C. Hydro. “He contacted Hydro and asked them how this had happened. Hydro said, ‘We won’t show you any stuff and we can assure you this is a correct bill.’ He came to us,� said Carter. It turned out that the utility had not closed a temporary account during the construction process, and had not only passed a bill on to the complainant, but also to 580 other units in the building. “Hydro credited all of those people. A total of $114,000 had been overbilled,� said Carter. The Ombudsperson’s Office has also done investigations on broad issues like victims of crime legislation, drinking water safety and the payout process for lottery prizes. Presently, it is looking into seniors care facilities in B.C. While the investigation continues, Carter has already seen some changes in the system, including the government creating a bill of rights for seniors. “People were reluctant to complain (about conditions in residential care), partly because they didn’t know what their rights were,� she said.
Bear breaks up destructive Lumby party Morning Star Staff
An illegal party in a Lumby park had an unwelcome visitor. RCMP received a report that there was a party at the east end of Salmon Trail Saturday and it was broken up by a bear. “Upon seeing the bear, everyone scattered,� said Cpl. Henry Proce, with the Lumby detachment. “No injuries were reported. The conservation officers have been

advised although no further reports of sightings have been received.� Vandalism, drinking and partying along the Salmon Trail continues to be a problem. On Sunday, the police were informed that a park bench had been stolen from the trail near Industrial Road. “This is the same site as the bear incident from the night before,� said Proce. “It was obvious the bench had been dragged a short distance and
then apparently loaded on to a truck. It’s unclear if this is a lark or an apparent theft but at this time the bench has not been recovered.� Also on the weekend, a bonfire was reported on the trail by the middle bridge. Those responsible apparently used some of the cedar fence rails and wood from the bridge to fuel the fire. “Some liquor bottles and receipts from a local liquor outlet were located on scene and police continue to inves-
tigate,� said Proce. “This is not the first time that the split rail fence is damaged and its wood used to build fires.� According to Proce, the cost of vandalism is substantial to the community, “Vandalism along the trail is particularly frustrating because it is simply so senseless to damage this community project that the village put so much effort into creating,� he said.

Horgan makes pitch for leadership JENNIFER SMITH
want in B.C. communities, we are going to have to form the next government.”
Morning Star Staff
Taller than Mike Farnworth and faster than Adrian Dix. With a chuckle, that’s exactly how John Horgan sums himself up against two of the other four contenders vying to become the next leader of B.C.’s New Democratic Party. Entering into the homestretch of the leadership race, Horgan stopped in Vernon Tuesday to speak with interested party members over coffee at Bean to Brew. He is up against Dix, Farnworth, Nicholas Simons and Dana Larsen on the April 17 ballot – which he adds is a little more crowded than when he put his name in the hat. While less than a dozen showed up to listen to the Juan de Fuca MLA, Horgan insists it’s these type of intimate meetings that will help the NDP win more people over. “I’ve been getting a favourable response wherever I go,” said Horgan, who joined the NDP 28 years ago. Horgan’s political career actually started out in a minor form – opening mail at the House of Commons. But from there he’s seen the good and the bad in leaders of all parties, worked with all kinds of politicians and puts himself right in touch with the people by actually riding the bus with voters. “It’s an opportunity for me to connect with 80 members of my constituency,” said Horgan, adding that voter turnout in his constituency has increased. There’s a key group of four to six per cent of the population who

NDP leadership candidate John Horgan meets with party members at Vernon’s Bean to Brew Tuesday. haven’t yet affiliated themselves with a party, which Horgan says the NDP needs to win over to help them win an election. Although the NDP may be the underdogs, he says it shouldn’t be hard to get more people on board considering the NDP vision. “Their best interests are served by electing a party that puts people first.” In doing so, Horgan says fair taxation is needed to strengthen programs and services, but that could mean raising taxes. “It shouldn’t be a free ride. You need revenue to provide services. It has to be a balance.” For example medical coverage isn’t as broad as people want, or in some cases need. Horgan says families are struggling with oral hygiene due to costs, but they shouldn’t. “How do you support it? You raise more
revenue.” Horgan also encourages the BuyBC program, which was introduced by the NDP but later cut. “It doesn’t help B.C. to buy apples from Washington State,” said Horgan, adding that supports are also needed for the small-mix farmers.
“We need to use local food in our hospitals and public institutions. We have the capacity to feed ourselves.” In terms of potential for a provincial election this year, Horgan says fixed election dates are part of the democratic process and he is concerned about voter fatigue. While keeping
voter fatigue in mind (HST referendum in June and possible federal election), he also believes the public wants an election soon, perhaps not in the fall, but maybe in the spring once campaigns are over. All in all, Horgan says: “If we are going to affect the change we

A rough ride
I
feel for kids that have to go through the rigmarole of getting their driver’s licences these days. My 16-year-old nephew embarked on what is now a lengthy path towards his personal mobile freedom by taking his knowledge test and eye exam for his learner’s licence last week. He faces another three-years of graduated licence purgatory before he earns his full-privilege, Class 5 driver’s licence. My initial reaction is that is an exceedingly long time to wait. Doogie Howser, MD probably earned his doctorate in less time than that. Then again, a prepubescent Neil Patrick Graeme Corbett Harris was still starring in that hit TV show when I took my learner’s exam. Back then, all you had to do was pass the test to get your learner’s permit, wait 30 days and then come back to take the road test. If you passed, you got a full licence. I only received seven demerits on my road test, thank you very much. That didn’t stop me from backing my mom’s burgundy Hyundai Stellar into our fence on my first attempt at getting out of the driveway. My older brother took his road test in Lake Cowichan, and they didn’t even have a traffic light; they still don’t. About the only thing he had to worry about screwing up was his parallel parking, and the driving instructors were pretty lenient on those. Things have changed a lot since then. Doogie has rejuvenated his career as the philandering Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother, and road conditions are more hectic than ever. There are more drivers on the road than ever, and in bigger centres in particular, it is essential all drivers, not just young ones, know the rules. ICBC statistics indicate new drivers are not only more prone to crashes, but they also show one in four of their crashes result in an injury

or fatality. Hence why they changed the licencing process to a two-stage graduated program in the mid-90s. “It allows some of the kids to realize driving is a privilege, not a right,” a worker at a B.C. Access Centre told me when I inquired about the reasoning behind the changes in regulations. And I have to say it makes sense the more I think about it. When my friends and I got our licences, we weren’t exactly thinking about how lucky we were to have such freedom, which in a town with no bus service is doubly liberating. New drivers these days can reduce their novice (N) licence stage by six months by taking an ICBC-approved driver education course. The course must be taken while they are still in the learner’s (L) stage, and they must remain prohibition free, not get any violation tickets or have any at-fault crashes. Even though it wasn’t mandatory, my parents put me in a defensive driving course while I had my learner’s licence, and I have to say it helped my confidence a lot. And once I had my licence outright, I stayed away from the cities for a while until I had a feel for the road. God only knows what my nephew will drive once he gets a licence. I doubt my brother will let him get behind the wheel of his Honda Ridgeline, at least when he’s not riding shotgun. And I cringe at the thought of him trying to steer Cole’s 1979 Jeep CJ. That thing handles like a shopping cart with a wonky wheel. Only the Jeep, which he lovingly refers to as Bull Trucker, has an added bonus of a three-speed, 304 cubic-inch V8 engine. No 16-year-old should have that much power at his fingertips. My first car was a 1979 Toyota Corolla and it was ideal. It wasn’t fast or pretty, it took plenty of abuse, it was cheap to fix and it cost me less than $1,000. I’d almost be willing to bet by the time my nephew does get his Class 5, Doogie will return as the head physician on Grey’s Anatomy.
Ministry of Public Safety officials certainly tried to present themselves as impartial during an information centre on a proposed correctional centre Wednesday. “I’m not here to sell anything,” said Brent Merchant, assistant deputy minister of the corrections branch. “I’m not wearing a yes button or a no button. I’m just here to answer questions.” But through all of the information provided, there was little critical commentary about prisons or the inmates inside. To listen to the presentation, there is absolutely no negative impact on a community hosting a jail. Of course such a response is to be expected. One of the government’s mandates is to find a place for a much-needed facility in this region and Lumby is on the list of potential candidates. Certainly there were some frustrated residents as the speakers did not provide precise answers over specific pieces of property, how much money the village would get in grants, if the province would fund infrastructure upgrades or what Lumby’s chances are of getting a prison. To be fair, though, there is a process underway, and given that grants and infrastructure would depend on negotiations, there is no way to present firm details. The other hurdle is that while the ministry’s representatives likely lean towards the party line, there was little chance that the information provided Wednesday was sinking in. Many residents on both sides of the contentious issue have already made up their minds on a prison and it’s not likely information from Wednesday’s meeting changed that situation.

EARTHQUAKE It is always sad to read about a natural disaster such as what happened lately in Japan. Many lives lost is a tragedy but I'm predicting that radical environmentalist are going to claim that it was caused by global warming. Again a natural disaster will be laid at the feet of mankind. The extremists never let a disaster go by without trying to find some way to further their claims that mankind is responsible for all the world's troubles. I'm even giving odds on this one. Any takers? Helmut Herrmann
Health should come first
W
e are all aware of the shortage of beds at our hospital and the cancellations of surgeries. There is a new tower being built with two floors that could be used, so why are they not going to be used? Our population keeps growing, young, old, they all need at some point to be admitted to the hospital for some reason or other. Unfortunately, there is no room in the old hospital and with cutbacks there are no funds for more beds. Patients are lined up in the hallways, in closets, some are sharing ER rooms with other patients that they don't even know. I have been admitted to the ER and have been in the same room with others whom I didn't know, not even a curtain for privacy. Interior Health needs to open its eyes and see what is going on, but they, like so many others, turn their heads the other way. In September of 2010, there was a cutback for imaging, so it you needed a CT scan or other imaging after 10 p.m. you had to wait until the next day. This is a 24-7 must-have in any hospital, it could be a life-saving scan, a scan
that can't wait for the next day. We need extra beds, more nurses and doctors and other staff. We also need new medical equipment, especially an MRI scanner. We don't need to have them two or five or 10 years from now, we need them now. There are many patients waiting to have an MRI done, I am one of them. I suffer from spinal stenosis of the lower back, the wait time is four-to-five months for an urgent MRI, this is also being on the short list and the cancellation list, and who knows how far any of us will have to travel? I, like so many others, have to live with back pain, numbness in my legs and not being able to live life the way I could be. So many others
WATER WOES We read with total amazement the article in the March 2 edition of The Morning Star regarding the use of bottled water in public buildings in Vernon. Ms O’Keefe’s statement that “We spent millions of dollars providing quality water and people should drink it” sounds like something a dictator would say. All the taxpayers in the area pay for the water they consume and also pay for the millions it cost to put infrastructure in place. Also, I certainly would not drink out of a water fountain, and I am sure most people that are germ conscious would agree with this in this day of all the super bugs that are in circulation. In the next two editions of the paper, and also on television, Interior Health is warning Vernon that they must spend another 20 million dollars on this system to make it comply with health standards, which is also very alarming. If we or anyone prefers to drink bottled water it is their right to do so. In publicly funded buildings, that incidentally the taxpayers own, they should be able to purchase the beverage of their choice, we for one do not drink any other cold beverage. All containers are

are in this same situation or worse. Life is too short. Interior Health needs to know that our hospital can't keep operating the way it does, patients can't be kept in hallways or closets, the health of these patients and the hospital staff are at risk. They deserve better and for those of us that are waiting for tests of some sort or other, we deserve better. Interior Health needs to take a closer look at what is happening, they need to fund the opening of the new in-patient wards in the new wing at the new Vernon Jubilee Hospital. I thank all the nurses and doctors, along with all the other staff and volunteers for the work they do, they are run off their feet, you have

Harvey and Peggy Youden TRASH TALK My family has lived in BX-Silver Star for the past eight years. We do our best to reduce our weekly trash output, never store biodegradable trash outside as to do so would attract animals, and make the effort to drive our refuse into town to properly dispose of it. It's not the most convenient situation, but it is a necessary reality for people in our area. I am not keen on the idea of curbside garbage collection in my area, as it is a wildlife interface area, so anything that encourages people to store large amounts of garbage outside for any length of time creates a problem in terms of attracting hungry, curious, and destructive wild animals. A safer alternative to curbside collection, and a

more sustainable option to individuals hauling refuse to the landfill, would be the establishment of transfer stations in each electoral area. That would provide rural residents with a convenient and safe way to dispose of our trash without causing wildlife problems or forcing additional traffic to travel to and from the landfill. It might even encourage some of the people who use our areas as their own personal dumping grounds to dispose of their trash in a more responsible manner.

my heart-felt appreciation. There is so much inane spending within our government, their priorities are ass backwards. Our health and education should be the government's first priorities. Our Minister of Health needs to be a person who understands what is going on in our hospitals, to see for him/herself the extent of these cutbacks. We need a doctor in that chair, who knows where to allocate the funds to. We need to write to the people who should be listening to the public and doing what is best for all of us. Write to Interior Health, the IHA board, patient care quality office (complaint department), to our Health Minister, and The Morning Star. I have sent these letters to the individuals as mentioned, my orthopedic/spinal surgeon is fighting for the funding to make the in-patient wards with more beds and the additional operating rooms usable. Our doctors are there to help us get better and have a better quality of life. I can't say the same about the government, can you? C. Redman

Justice denied: B.C.’s burgeoning courthouse crunch Editor’s note: this is the first in a five-part series investigating the congestion and delays in B.C.’s legal system. JEFF NAGEL Black Press
A drunk driver with his young son in his car nearly hits two police officers and a bystander at the side of the road in Prince George, but is not held accountable for his actions. A hunter from Merritt is caught poaching protected big horn sheep near Williams Lake, yet never faces consequences. A Victoria-area man shoots a puppy belonging to a 12-year-old cancer survivor, is charged with animal cruelty, and ultimately goes unpunished. These are real cases recently thrown out of court in B.C., allowing those accused of crimes to walk free. The reason? Unacceptable delays stemming from chronic provincial government underfunding of the legal system, including courts, judges, prosecutors, support staff and legal aid. An estimated 2,000 additional criminal cases still stuck in the system have already been delayed so long, they are at risk of being thrown out as well. And there’s no end in sight. So clogged are the courts – particularly in Surrey – that judges are increasingly outspoken in denouncing the logjam and lack of resources that threaten the integrity of the entire system. “The backlog is so great and the courts so crowded that in many cases there will be an unreasonable delay should there be even one adjournment on a trial date,” warned Surrey Provincial Court Judge Peder Gulbransen last November, as he threw out the prosecution of an impaired driver who waited 32 months for a trial date. “Justice delayed is justice denied,” ruled Judge Ronald Webb last year, in staying the case
in Cranbrook against an accused cocaine dealer who waited more than two years for a trial expected to take just three hours. Another troubling example is that of an alleged child rapist in Coquitlam whose trial never went ahead because the system apparently couldn’t afford to translate victims’ statements quickly enough so the accused could understand them. Police requests for funding for the translations had been denied and the trial was repeatedly delayed. “It is very disturbing that the value of the complainants’ sexual, physical and emotional integrity is less than the
cost of translation and transcription,” Judge Marion Buller Bennett ruled last year. She ordered the multiple charges of assault, assault with a weapon, sexual assault, incest and sexual touching of a young person be dropped after a two-
year wait. The judge called it “a tragedy” for all, including the accused – a man who was publicly identified but had no chance to clear his name. The case is now being reviewed by B.C. Representative for Children and Youth
Mary Ellen TurpelLafond, who called it a “very grave” situation. “I’m very concerned about these delays,” she said in an interview. “You can see the alarm bells being raised in multiple places in British Columbia in the court system.”
But judges’ hands are tied. They are bound by Supreme Court of Canada rulings that firmly limit how long cases can be prolonged before the constitutional right of the accused to a fair trial has been violated and a stay of proceedings must be entered. Defence lawyers can’t deliberately drag their feet to get a case tossed. In deciding a delay is unacceptable, judges count only the slowdowns attributed to the system itself or Crownrequested adjournments. They must also conclude the defendant was harmed in some way by the wait. But B.C.’s case back-
log now leaves virtually no room for any kind of error that could cause delay. Some cases are quashed after as little as 14 months, and the applications become much harder for the Crown to fend off when the accused has waited more than 18 months. In Surrey, a typical one-day impaired driving trial is now being set for July of 2012 – an immediate 16-month time period that puts the case close to the cusp of being tossed from the start. Year-long-plus delays from the outset are now common at many courthouses around the province.

Courts in crisis
FOOD MARKET “Proudly dl Independent d d — Locally Owned & Operated” by Butcher Boys Ent. Ltd.
Continued from A10 The judges themselves tabled a damning report last September titled “Justice Delayed” that warned “thousands of cases are at risk” of being dropped due to too much time elapsing between charges being laid and an accused’s day in court. At that time, there were 17 fewer provincial court judges on the bench than in 2005 – a 12-percent decrease. B.C. is the only province in Canada where the number of sitting judges decreased over that period, despite a growing population, rising caseload and increased complexity of many trials. Coupled with inadequate numbers of Crown prosecutors, court clerks and sheriffs, the report said, the available court time to handle cases is down significantly and is unable to keep pace with the rising demand. In Surrey alone, the report said, it would take three more full-time judges hearing criminal trials for two years to reduce wait times to acceptable levels. Since those findings, there’s little sign of improvement. Six new judges have been appointed since October 2010, but others retired so the net increase is just two positions. Front-line prosecutors, lawyers and court staff believe that’s insufficient to stop the deterioration of the system. “The situation has gotten worse, undeniably,” said Samiran Lakshman, president of the B.C. Crown Counsel Association. “It’s becoming more dire as the days go on.” Despite the extra judges, the number of adult criminal cases older than 18 months in the system climbed from just over 2,000 last fall to more than 2,100 by February, 2011. Trials aren’t just lined up far into the future but also stacked three and four deep on the same day – dates that Judge Webb called “hopelessly overbooked.” Staff shortages aren’t the only problem. Physical courtroom space is in short supply in many areas, a result of the government’s 2002 decision to close 24 courthouses, including ones in Delta, Burnaby, Hope, Maple Ridge and Squamish, increasing the load on neighbouring courts. Major criminal trials involving organized crime – such as the “Surrey Six” murders or the UN Gang prosecution – aren’t expected to be lost to delay. But Lakshman warns time-intensive mega-trials suck up vast amounts of resources for courts, police and prosecutors, leaving less time to dispense justice for more run-of-the-mill criminals. He argues any money saved by the province through justice system austerity is a false economy, considering the money blown bringing accused criminals to court but not quite to trial. Cases are being terminated after police have

The union has been calling for metal detectors at each of the courtrooms, as is done in Purdy Alberta. Purdy also estimates another 50 to 100 sheriffs will be needed to keep court proceedings moving. That would require an annual investment of about $5 million. While there’s been no firm commitment, the fact judges are shutting down proceedings

Following a B.C. government-imposed hiring freeze, the number of sheriffs in this province has dropped by almost 20 per cent in recent years, forcing some judges to close court sessions. Last January, three judges in Victoria cancelled the day’s agenda because there were not enough deputy sheriffs on hand. “This isn’t the first time that’s happened. It’s happened in Nanaimo, it’s happened on other occasions,” said Dean Purdy, chair of Corrections and Sheriffs Services Component of the B.C. Government Employees Union. “Courts are being delayed and justice is being delayed.” Over the past few years, Purdy says a hiring freeze has been invoked by the province, causing a 17-per-cent drop in the number of available sheriffs in B.C., from 520 to 430. Because — Dean of that, vacancies in court are being filled with corrections officers for extra security. In three separate courthouses in the Fraser Valley, where there are high-security gang trials being held, Purdy said they’ve had to bring in corrections officers to provide back-up in court. “They’re just getting by, by the skin of their teeth,” Purdy said. “Delays in our alreadycrowded courtrooms is a problem. They’re already backed up enough and adding to that is just an ongoing problem.” B.C.’s Criminal Justice Branch has since hired 24 auxiliary sheriffs, but Purdy said there will have to be more.

CGL Contracting LTD., working for the City of Vernon, will be reconstructing the infrastructure on 29 Street from 45 Avenue to 48 Avenue. Construction on 29 Street begins in late March 2011, and it will result in minor delays to local traffic. Detours will be in effect for the duration of the project. For further details of the project please contact Rob Fortuin, P. Eng., at Focus Corporation phone: 250-980-5500. The City of Vernon would also like to remind drivers to obey the posted construction signage, and to slow down through detour routes and the construction zone. Please note that traffic delays may be encountered. This project is funded in part by Tree Canada and BC Hydro.

News Website promotes region JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
The Okanagan is tapping into the world wide web with an online tool called Our Okanagan – aimed at connecting those looking for local products and services with those who can provide them. From residents searching local produce to tourists looking at services available in the area, the website offers a broad view of what the Okanagan has to offer. Studies indicate that many consumers go online to find information about local shopping. “I’m definitely one of them,” said Leigha Horsfield, of Community Futures – a partner in the project. “I can’t tell you the last time I actually opened a phone book.” While many businesses use the site, it is also open to service clubs and organizations. “We’re noticing lots of not-for-profits using the site to post volunteer opportunities and upcoming events,” said Horsfield. Thanks to partnerships and government funding the site is currently free to join and Horsfield expects that if any, the cost could increase to $10 for any individual business in January 2012. “It’s purpose ultimately was to support the local economy and create and maintain jobs.” Go to www.ourokanagan.ca.

News PADDLE PRACTICE
Vernon Paddling Centre members (from left) Scott Siemens, Bob Woodman and Kim Dolaszar hit the water Wednesday morning for their last practice before heading to southern California. On Sunday they will be competing in the Ocean Ohana Catalina Challenge Outrigger Canoe Race in Southern California, a 39.8 mile race from Catalina Island to Dana Point. Siemens and Woodman will be teaming up to cross the channel, while Dolaszar will be competing with a fellow paddler from San Diego. The trio has been training all winter on Okanagan Lake. The club is getting ready to hit the water in early April.
Tips lead to Vernon arrest The partnership of police and the public was instrumental in solving a recent case. On March 14, a plea was put out through the media to identify a woman who had used a credit card from a stolen purse Steve Holmes that was taken from Kelowna General Hospital Feb. 21. Crime Stoppers received tips as to the suspect’s identity. This information was passed on to police and resulted in the woman’s arrest in
Vernon two days later. “This investigation was assisted immensely by the public’s help, and would likely have taken much longer to resolve without that help,” said Cst. Steve Holmes, with the Kelowna RCMP. It’s believed the suspect is a Vernon resident. “Crime Stoppers is a significant, and very successful tool and is responsible for countless arrests of suspects and wanted persons as well as recoveries of drugs and stolen goods,” said Holmes. “Crime Stoppers not only offers reward but also complete anonymity to whomever provides information.”

Funds tuned into area events Morning Star Staff
Two organizations will be able to promote culture in the North Okanagan as a result of recent funding. The federal government is providing grants to the North Okanagan Music Festival Society and the Interior Provincial Exhibition. “Our government believes that investing in local events is critical to the economic health of communities across B.C.,” said Colin Mayes, Okanagan-Shuswap MP. The North Okanagan Music Festival Society
has received $23,500 for the Rarearth Jazz and BluesFest which runs from Aug. 5 to 7 in Vernon. “The festival is an important attraction for residents and visitors,” said Mayes. The IPE will receive $66,300 for the 112th edition of the Armstrong fair which will take place from Aug. 31 to Sept. 4. “Top-notch community events such as the IPE brings people closer together and contributes to making our community stronger,” said Mayes.

Dalynn Kearney won the Pay It Forward contest with her photograph of Mabel Lake. The contest was sponsored by the Enderby and District Credit Union.
Lake scene wins contest Morning Star Staff
A photo contest has paid off for a youth camp near Enderby. Dalynn Kearney won a $3,000 prize package during Enderby and District Credit Union Pay it Forward photo contest. Besides a $1,000 savings product, the prize included $2,000 for a local charity and Kearney selected MacKenzie Camp at the north end of Mabel Lake. “MacKenzie Camp provides an incredible opportunity for children to connect with nature and form lifetime memories and friends, and we believe that every child should have this opportunity, which this funding will help support,” said Kearney, who has been on the camp board for several years. MacKenzie Camp officials are thrilled with the donation. “Our camp has been here since 1947 but we struggle year- to- year for funding,” said president Lorraine Powell. “These funds will make it possible to sponsor at least six or seven less-fortunate kids to come to camp this summer, and for that we’re very grateful.” As part of the Pay It Forward photo contest, which promotes the
credit union’s website, Lorrie Campagnolo was the second place winner, and she directed $250 to the A.L. Fortune Secondary School dry grad. Third place was awarded to Eddie Hyam, who directed $250 to the school hot lunch
program. “We’re so excited by the results of the Pay It Forward photo contest,” said Ted Morrison, credit union general manager. “It certainly raised awareness about our new website and gave
people the opportunity to experience it firsthand. We were also very pleased about the community aspect of the contest, which gave financial support to valued community organizations and generated community pride.”

News Kids celebrate Canadian heritage Morning Star Staff
The Greater Vernon Museum and Archives has sponsored a Heritage Stamp Contest for students in the Vernon School District for the past four years. The aim of the contest is to celebrate Canadian heritage. Students are invited to select a significant or interesting B.C. or Canadian event, symbol, landscape or person, illustrate the chosen topic, do some research and write a short paragraph about it. This year, 120 entries were received which made the task of judging them extremely challenging for the committee. From those entries, six winners ad 14 honourable mentions were chosen. Each received a certificate and the winners also received a set of note cards with their stamp design on the front. One of the winners will have their stamp design chosen for a T-shirt for the Fourth Annual Vernon Heritage Fair on April 15.

Community collects hope for Japan Morning Star Staff
Canadians with a Japanese heritage shared in the shock and disbelief of the effects of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. “I was taken off guard watching the amount of devastation and how people were coping. Our thoughts and prayers went out to them immediately,” said Rick Ogasawara, president of the Vernon Japanese Cultural Society. He has no immediate family in Japan, his grandparents came to Canada in the 1920s, but he and his family have kept a strong interest in Japanese culture and tradition. “Some of our members have family and friends in Japan and it was a very worrying time as there was limited communication. We have now heard that one of our members has a family member who is still missing,” said Ogasawara. “We are only now getting some idea of the extent of the damage caused by the earthquake.” The society met to determine what the members could do to help and Hisae Schulz and Mitsuyo Kaneda, Japanese School instructors, along with the parents of students in the school, came up with the idea of a Sushi and Bake Sale. The Sushi and Bake Sale this Saturday will feature homemade and restaurant sushi donated by J-Don, Mahoroba and Bento Nauveau along with hamburgers (Okanagan Wine Fed Burgers donated by Valley Produce Plus). The bake sale has a variety of sweet treats. There will be free coffee and tea. There will also be a drop-off bottle drive. There will also be a sale of Hope for Japan T-shirts by international and domestic Okanagan College students. The shirts are $10 and proceeds go directly

Snakes bounce ‘Backs in Game 4 GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Home-ice advantage hasn’t exactly counted for much in the B.C. Hockey League Interior Conference finals between the Vernon Vipers and Salmon Arm SilverBacks. After losing two straight to open the bestof-seven series at Wesbild Centre, the Vipers earned back-to-back road wins to pull even with the Gorillas, capped by a gritty 3-2 win in Game 4 Tuesday night at the Sunwave Centre. The Snakes clung to a precarious onegoal lead in the third period, putting up a defensive wall at their blueline to repel the SilverBack forwards, who opted to carry the puck rather than dump and chase. When Salmon Arm did gain the zone in the dying minutes, the Snakes collapsed around netminder Kirby Halcrow, blocking shots and racing for rebounds. The frantic action culminated when defenceman Stevie Weinstein threw himself in front of a hard point shot in the final minute which allowed his team to clear the zone and relieve the pressure. “We kind of realized they don’t like to dump it. They’re a skilled team and they want to come in the zone with possession, so we tried to stand them up,” said Weinstein. “We didn’t give up and that shows the character of our squad.” There was more than a hint of pride, and perhaps even a little awe, in Vernon head coach Mark Ferner’s voice as he described his team’s performance. “It was about sacrifice. All the little details we talked about all year long came to the forefront tonight. I’m extremely proud of our effort,” he said. The Snakes had a scary moment in the opening minute as Bryce Kakoske gloved a puck in the neutral zone. As he turned to drop it he ran headfirst into a wall by the name of Brett Knowles. Kakoske was dazed as he left the ice, but returned later in the period. The Vipers, who held the Gorillas to just one shot in the opening 10 minutes, opened the scoring five minutes into the first frame when Marcus Basara capped an odd-man rush with Patrick McGillis. With just five defencemen dressed for Game 4, the Viper blueline endured some adversity when Ryan Renz earned a misconduct for an elbow to the head of David Killip. Malcolm Lyles then put Vernon down to three d-men for a cross-checking minor. Halcrow (19 saves) stood tall on the pen-

In the final minute of the first, he came up with a gamesaver on Brad Reid. Kris Moore recorded 26 stops for the Gorillas. The SilverBacks, playing in front of a packed house (1,645 fans), stormed back in the second frame on a pair of goals by rookie Bryce Gervais. He scored his first with a lethal wrister from the top of the circle. His second came off a gorgeous stretch pass from Charlie Vasaturo, who sent the rookie forward in alone on Halcrow. With the momentum seemingly in the home team’s favour, Vernon capitalized on a few defensive lapses by Salmon Arm late in the second period. Goals 26 seconds apart by Lyles and Trevor Fitzgerald, with a minute
left in the period, put Vernon back in front. Lyles appeared to score a buzzer beater as the Vipers crashed Moore’s net in the dying seconds of the second period, but after conferring with their linesmen, referees Steve Papp and Kris Hartley waved the goal off. “Save for a brain cramp for a minute in the second period...I thought we were exceptional on the night. Vernon played a terrific game as well,” said Salmon Arm head coach Tim Kehler. “It’s a hard one to swallow. When you invest that much physically and emotionally, they’re hard to lose.” The ‘Backs have yet to lose a game at Wesbild this season, and were confident they could rebound in Game 5, which went Thursday night at Wesbild. Game 6 goes tonight at the Sunwave. If necessary, Game 7
would go Saturday in Vernon. “This game is over, we can’t think about it anymore. We’ve just got to get ready for Game 5 in Vernon. We’ve had success there all year, so we should be fine,” said SilverBack forward Paul De Jersey. SNAKE BITES: The Vipers were without defencemen Max Mowat and Phil Patenaude, and forward Colton Sparrow in Game 4, all due to injury. Forward John Knisley left Tuesday’s game after taking a puck to the ear, requiring a dozen stitches. Both Knisley and Sparrow were game-day decisions for Game 5...Steven Schmidt collected the winner on a deflection as the Powell River Kings outlasted the Surrey Eagles 2-1 in triple overtime in Game 4 of the Coastal Conference final. The Kings led the series 3-1 heading into Game 5 Thursday.

Perepolkin in Baron final NET clips Jet Ice to earn other final berth Morning Star Staff
A pair of former B.C. junior men’s curling champions tangled in the final of the Baron Insurance Super League playoffs Thursday night at the Vernon Curling Club. In semifinal action Wednesday night, T.J. Perepolkin’s Canaccord Capital Wealth Management shaded 2011 B.C. men’s champion Jim Cotter (Woodland Equipment) 8-7, and Kuhn doubled Dave Merklinger’s Jet Ice 6-3 to advance to the gold-medal game. Perepolkin, a four-time junior champ, gave up a steal of two in the first end, but responded with a draw for three points in the second. Cotter drew for a deuce in the third
end, but again Perepolkin answered with a three-ender in the fourth. The Cotter crew equalized with two points in the fifth end in a game where both rinks had lots of rocks in play. Cotter stole one in six, after which Perepolkin missed a shot for two in seven, giving Cotter the hammer in the final end. The Woodland skip was a tad heavy in his draw to the four-foot, allowing Canaccord to escape with the win. In the other semi, with Kuhn unable to play, the NET rink got some solid super-spare efforts from his dad, Doug, little brother, Ryan, and Darrell (Heavy D) Houston to earn the win. NET surprised Jet Ice skip Darren Heath with steals of three in three and two in four after they had blanked the first two ends. Heath came back with a deuce in five and steal of one in six, but skip Ryan sealed the win with a single in seven.
A pair of weekend wins helped the Vernon Vixens clinch first place in the women’s division of the Adult Safe Hockey League. Derri Ann Cooper fired four goals to lead the Vixens to a 7-1 win over the Armstrong Farmers Friday night. Leah Mulvihill, the team’s top scorer with 18-2038 in 13 games, added 1+2, with singles coming from Cheryl Meier and Bridget Grant. Mandy Christensen was the playmaker, recording four assists. On Sunday, Cooper collected 2+1 and Jodi Tung and Grant each supplied singles as Vernon doubled the Salmon Arm Wildfire 4-2. Salmon Arm was up 2-1 early in the second period, but Vernon rallied with three unanswered goals. The Vixens got solid defence from Jen Spitzer, Sabre Cherkowski and Diana Huntley, and great offensive support from Nichole Oakden, Christine Sherman and Edeen Ramsey. Conni Damini posted 21 saves for the win. The Vixens, sponsored by Buy-Low Foods, begin playoff action against the Farmers this weekend.

Krause works angles Takes sizzling average into Regina nationals KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Miss a measly cornerpin that’s worth two points and it can cost you cash or hardware in fivepin bowling. Vernon’s Ashley Krause can throw strikes and spares all night, but making sure those nasty cornerpins are knocked down takes extra care and practice. The 18-year-old missed a bronze medal by 1.5 points in singles match play at the 2007 4 Steps to Stardom Nationals in Winnipeg. She is determined to medal at the Youth Challenge scratch tournament, starting today in Regina. “Dianne (Team B.C. coach McPhee of Vancouver) has come up a couple of times and we work on technique and cornerpins, making sure we clean up everything,” said Krause, a Grade 12 Kalamalka student. “I do the same things with (coaches) Bill Blair and Lawrence Kupryk in league on Sundays.” Krause, who shares the senior YBC top average with Krista Koenig, at 217, was sizzling at the Youth Challenge provincial finals last November at Galaxy Bowl in Abbotsford. She rolled a scorching eight-game total of 1,922 with 224-223-174-264-237-284-240-276, defeating Brittany Dacosta of Langley by 47 pins. Both girls will compete at nationals in singles and team play. While in a zone where everything was going her way, Krause feels there was another reason she had such big success on that special Saturday. “Not all the other competitors were bowling that well and I kind of jumped on that opportunity,” said Krause,
who also plays Rep soccer. “My strength as an athlete is I’m able to stay calm and not get my emotions ahead of everything else.” She started tossing bowling balls with two hands as a tyke, and under her father Ron’s guidance, became very good. So good they bumped her up to junior a year early. “I was the only one using two hands in junior, but I learned pretty fast and caught on to one hand pretty quick,” she laughed. Krause, who played for the Kalamalka Lakers in the recent senior AA basketball provincials in Kamloops, loves to compete and uses an inner peacefulness on the lanes. “I’m quiet, I don’t talk much when I’m bowling.,” said the soft-spoken Krause. “You have to keep your focus. I get some soft music going (on her iPod) before I start. My music for soccer is a lot different than my music for bowling.” Krause will follow up the thrill of the bowling nationals by going to Europe on a soccer tour in July. Her dad coaches the U18 girls team. She is a striker. The Vernon team, with 10 locals, will play two friendlies in England and Germany before taking in the Women’s World Cup semifinal and gold-medal game in Germany. A part-time employee of Fitness West, Krause will head back to Germany in September for a five-month school exchange to learn more of her ancestors’ language. Blair and Kupryk have been coaching Ashley since she was five. “Her attititude is very good,” said Blair. “She listens very well and she’s a nice girl. She’s easy to coach.” Krause plans to eventually study education at Thompson Rivers University, and possibly play soccer for the WolfPack.

Skolrood looking to get Tigers on track Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Tigers have shuffled the coaching deck as they head into the 2011 season of Okanagan X-treme Senior C Men’s Lacrosse League. Former Saskatchewan Roughrider Lawrie Skolrood will take over from James Hurst as head coach. He will be joined by assistant Steve Latimer, who is making the transition from player to coach after a stellar career with the Tigers Lawrie Skolrood (formerly Royals). Taking over as president will be longtime local businessman Roy Clissold, owner of Aaron’s Furniture. “I’m very lucky to have Steve Latimer with all his experience, and certainly the
support we’re getting from the juniors (Tigers) this year is welcomed as well,” said Skolrood. “We’re hoping to take on this year in a bit of a rebuilding bang, however, I’m looking forward to a real good product on the floor.” Latimer said it was a tough decision to call it a day, but looks forward to the new challenge of guiding the Tigers from behind the bench. He laughed when the media described his transition from player to coach as “graceful.” “Graceful? Well OK, we’ll go with that,” he grinned. “The last couple of years, the body isn’t holding up the way it used to, and to still be involved in the game and going behind the bench and help out and maybe teach some
of the younger guys coming up, and help some of the older guys improve...I’m pretty excited about it.” Also returning for another season is last year’s OKXLL scoring champion Shane Sargent, an Ontario native who posted 35 points in 11 games, including 22 goals. Sargent, a six-year veteran of the Ontario Junior A league, is hoping the Tigers can avoid a repeat of last year’s slow start. “It didn’t go as well as I was hoping it would. The team had a little bit of trouble, we got off to a slow start, but hopefully this year we do a little better and get rolling off the start.” The Tigers will begin exhibition action at the annual Shamrocks Ice Breaker tourney, April 8 and 9 in Armstrong.
Shamrocks welcome junior grads to fold Morning Star Staff
With less than two weeks before their Ice Breaker Senior Men’s Lacrosse Tournament, the Armstrong Shamrocks are busy preparing for the 2011 season and their quest to win the Shaw Cup. This year the Rocks will feature a much younger lineup, with the addition of five junior Shamrock graduates joining their ranks. Jarrett Medhurst, Logan Strohm and Dalaney Halifax will provide a much needed boost to Armstrong’s offence, while Mike Belenger and Dustin Heitman will add a bit of grit to the defence. However, the team will be without a few
key veterans this year with the retirement of Pat Nelson and Glenn Mitchell, along with the departure of Nathan Strohm to the RCMP training depot in Regina. With the loss of one Strohm, the Shamrocks welcome back another as Shaun Strohm makes his return after taking last year off to focus on his studies. The Shamrocks also return captain Chad Pounder, who has also taken on the coaching reins, along with last year’s team MVP, and OKXLL Top Goalie Chad Pieper. Defensive specialists Shaun Koenig and Braydon Sanders, and offensive stars Brett Logan and Marc Wagner are also in
the mix. Throughout training camp, the Rocks have been working hard implementing some new systems, and on improving individual skills. The Shamrocks begin Ice Breaker action Friday, April 8, 5:30 p.m. against the Junior Shamrocks. Other teams participating include the Vernon Tigers, Kelowna Raiders, Kamloops Rattlers, Prince George Stylers, Maple Ridge Attack and the Spruce Grove Slash. The Shamrocks welcome any new players to the area that want to come to play lacrosse, or volunteers to help out on game nights. Contact general manager Chad Pieper at chad.pieper@gmail.com.

Brother and sister black belts Taylor and Kai Halvorson kicked up a storm at the International Taekwon-Do Federation World Championships in Wellington, New Zealand. The four-day tournament featured more than 500 athletes from 42 countries competing in several disciplines. Taylor, who trains with her brother out of Sundance Martial Arts in Vernon, collected bronze in junior girl’s hyperweight individual sparring. She defeated opponents from Australia and Argentina before falling by a single point in her semifinal match against another Canadian. In the team event, Taylor and four other Canadians fell to New Zealand in a series of very close matches. Kai fought well but bowed to an Argentinian in his opening junior male micro-weight sparring bout. Team Canada placed sixth overall, with three of its members claiming gold medals. “The calibre of competition was very high and the highest either of our athletes

A scheduling change saw Game 2 go Thursday night in Armstrong, and Game 3, if necessary, will now go Sunday at Wesbild (8 p.m.). Kowalski earned an assist on Richard Jodoin’s opening goal with three minutes left in the first
period. Shawn Bourgeois drew one of his two helpers on the play. Brett Heitman replied for the league champion Canucks later in the first frame, and Tyler Quiring put his team in front early in the second. Goals three minutes apart by Steve Vallier and Tom Ouchi gave the second-seed Rangers another lead, but Darcy Quiring pulled his team even with just over eight minutes remaining. Blair Miller recorded 26 stops and an assist for the win while James Scherck made 21 saves for Teale Utility.

Teachers give pay a failing grade The only negotiated contract the B.C. Teachers’ Federation has ever signed is running out June 30, and prospects for a new one are growing dimmer. BCTF president Susan Lambert refuses to specify how large a salary increase the executive will propose as negotiations get underway. But she said B.C. teachers have fallen from third highestpaid in Canada to eighth since 2006. “For example, a beginning teacher working in Golden right now, right on the B.C.-Alberta border, makes almost $10,000 a year less than a beginning teacher in Banff,” Lambert said. “At the top of the scale it’s even worse. An experienced teacher in Banff earns more than $16,000 a year more than a teacher with the same credentials in Golden.” Lambert called on the B.C. government to change the “net zero” compensation mandate imposed two years ago when the province was hit by a global recession. Education Minister George Abbott said the net zero mandate applies to the BCTF as well as other unions.
The restriction that wage increases can only be approved if they are offset by other savings has produced agreements with about two thirds of provincial employees so far, he said. “I appreciate that will perhaps make discussions with the teachers’ federation a challenging one, but I think there are a great many issues that we can discuss in relation to both the student performance within the B.C. education system and the teacher satisfaction within the B.C. education system.”
The BCTF signed its current five-year deal when the provincial government was in surplus and offering signing bonuses to all the government unions. Teachers got signing bonuses of $3,700 with another $1,000 each for a settlement longer than three years, as well as pay and benefits increases totalling 16 per cent over five years. It was the only time since the BCTF was turned into a union by the Social Credit government in the 1980s that a contract was negotiated rather than imposed by legislation, usually after a
strike in public schools. Lambert said a recent survey of teachers shows that class size and special needs support, not money, is the top issue for teachers. The BCTF is awaiting a ruling from the B.C. Supreme Court on its challenge to legislation that removed class size and support staff levels from the teacher contract. In addition to the legal action, the union still has “tens of thousands” of grievances in process over individual class size and composition in schools across the province, Lambert said.

News Don’t play politics with B.C. Hydro
R
ich Coleman is B.C.’s fourth energy minister in the past year, which is as good a measure as any of the political storm that has rocked the government. On only his second day on the job, Coleman was already showing why Premier Christy Clark calls him a “tough guy” who can stare down the big-spending B.C. Hydro. Clark is, of course, concerned that it may not be “good for families” if Hydro rates go up 50 per cent in the next five years. The city media made a big story out of how Coleman is considering pulling the plug on the smart meter program or some other expensive project like the Ruskin dam overhaul. Interim NDP leader Dawn Black is demanding that the new premier “tackle skyrocketing Hydro rates” now that she’s eliminated poverty by raising the minimum wage. Don’t hold your breath. What Coleman actually mused about in his first scrum as energy minister was “amortization” and such. It’s not a question of whether or not B.C.’s 20-year lapse in grid and dam upgrades needs fixing, only how fast it’s done. Take the Ruskin dam. Many B.C. residents are unaware of the string of hydro dams along the north shore of the Fraser River, namely the Coquitlam, Alouette, Stave and Ruskin dams. They are mainly known for the campsites and recreational beaches on
their reservoirs. These are among B.C.’s oldest hydro assets, privately developed. The Coquitlam River was dammed in 1914 and has recently had a second earth-fill dam added downstream Tom Fletcher to mitigate the inevitable earthquake catastrophe. The Stave Falls dam was completed in 1911 and the Ruskin dam followed in 1929. Their modest power output kept up with growing demand – at huge cost to salmon runs – and connecting tunnels between reservoirs also provide flood control. Ruskin dam is a mossy old concrete monolith wedged in a granite gorge. Until it’s completely rebuilt, even a moderate earthquake would not be good for families downstream in the village of Ruskin. The Ruskin upgrade alone is estimated at a staggering $800 million, if it starts next year and is done by 2018. It could be delayed to give Coleman and Clark a short-term political boost, if they want to gamble on a deadly dam failure. The resulting inland tsunami would have B.C. featured on CNN for a couple of weeks. Delaying this longoverdue work further will also certainly push the cost over $1 billion. Coleman could rein in B.C. Hydro without directly risking lives by delaying smart meter installation. But as described last week, this project is also unavoidable, and delay can only lead to bigger costs and

rate hikes. Coleman could possibly reduce the rate impact via privatization. According to B.C. Hydro’s most radical union, COPE local 378, this is imminent, as the utility’s contract with Accenture expires in 2013. COPE produced the infamous “Gordon Campbell wants to kill your grandma!” ad campaign for the 2009 election, and its pen-
chant for overstatement continues. It issued a news release last week warning of the “possible breakup” of B.C. Hydro in outsourcing agreements as much as three times the size of the Accenture deal. (In 2003 B.C. Hydro contracted with Accenture to provide customer service, finance, information technology and other back-office functions.) A B.C. Hydro
spokesman advises me that no, the utility is not considering breaking itself up into three entities, or greatly expanding its outsourcing. The next time you hear about a quick solution for rising electricity rates, take it with a grain of salt.

UBC principal investigators in the project, supported by a Canadian Institutes of Health Research operating grant, include Lawrence Berg, Rachelle Hole, Mike Evans and Joan Bottorff. Other partners
include representatives from the Okanagan Nation Alliance, the Interior Health Authority, the En’owkin Centre and friendship centres. “Cultural safety is about creating a safe space so aboriginal people have a voice in determining personal and family health out-
comes,” said Hole. “The practice of cultural safety in health care establishes an awareness of personal cultural realities and attitudes. In accordance with cultural safety practices, the project has developed as a participatory action research approach committed to the active engagement of
members of Aboriginal communities and their institutions.” The Okanagan Nation Alliance represents eight member communities: seven in Canada and one in the U.S. For more information, go to www.ubc. ca/okanagan/culturalsafety/.

Funds boost early education Morning Star Staff
There’s been a financial boost for child care programs in the North Okanagan. Child care providers in Vernon, Coldstream, Lumby, Armstrong and Enderby are being provided assistance from the provincial government. “Quality child-care is of very high importance to families, and we are recognizing that by supplying this bonus funding,” said Eric Foster, Eric Foster Vernon-Monashee MLA. “It will help our local childcare providers to become even better and to manage the transition to full-day kindergarten.” Twelve licensed child-care providers in Vernon, Coldstream and Lumby will share a total of $12,108.26 in bonus funding this spring, thanks to a one-time boost for licensed group child-care (30 months to school-age) providers that receive funding under the child care operating funding program. Seven licensed child-care providers in Salmon Arm, Armstrong, Enderby and Tappen will share a total of $6,187.68 in bonus funding this spring. “Investing in quality child-care is one of the most important things we can do as a government,” said George Abbott, Shuswap MLA. “Providing a strong foundation for our children is critical, so I’m very pleased to see this bonus funding for our local child-care providers as we transition to full-day kindergarten.”

For the second time in two months eight Vernon teachers have participated in an advanced level CAN-BIKE2 cycling skills course. The course is being led by Bruce Mol, a nationally certified cycling skills instructor and the chair of the Greater Vernon Cycling Advisory Committee. “Teachers and two cycling instructors negotiated Vernon’s most difficult traffic situations taking turns leading the group on nearby highways, main shopping streets and some congested intersections,” said Mol. The teachers are taking a certificate course learning how to handle the most difficult traffic situations so they qualify to teach ICBC’s Bike Smarts program and prepare for cycling field trips. “The teachers braved subzero temperatures in February, rain in March and are hoping for a sunny day when the course concludes in April,” said Mol. Mol is the author of a handbook about cycling leadership (see http://gonecycling.com/leader/ handbook.pdf) and a book about cycling across Canada (see http://gonecycling.com/book/).

Detection of radiation in B.C. doesn’t ring alarm bells JEFF NAGEL Black Press
Health officials say sensors in B.C. have now detected “minute” levels of radiation coming here from Japan’s leaking nuclear reactors. But they continue to assure the public there is no cause for residents here to worry because of the dispersal of radioactive particles across thousands of kilometres of ocean. “These amounts are negligible and do not pose a health risk to British Columbians,” said
the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, Monday. “We are expecting very slight increases in radiation until a week after the reactors are stabilized. These are not cause for concern, and are smaller than the normal day-to-day fluctuations typically seen in B.C.” BCCDC officials say the radiation levels arriving from Japan are tiny compared to other natural sources of exposure for B.C. residents, including rocks and soil, ultraviolet radiation from the sun and cosmic radiation from space.
Levels so far detected are at 0.0005 microsieverts per day, according to data from Health Canada’s Radiation Protection Bureau and released by the BCCDC. By comparison a CT scan can expose a person to between 5,000 and 30,000 microsieverts – more than 10 million times as much as the increased daily exposure in B.C. from the Japanese radiation plume. In other words, it would take more than 27,000 years of exposure at the current slightly elevated levels of radia-

News Youth cross country Morning Star Staff
Twinned with students from Quebec, a group of local youth have welcomed an opportunity to experience Canada’s diversity. W.L. Seaton Secondary has paired with students from Dolbeau-Mistassini, Que., in a seven-day exchange program. The Vernon students and parents recently welcomed their Quebec twins to town, showing them the sights and sounds of their city and school. In May, 30 Seaton students will reunite with their twins when they travel to Quebec to experience the French culture and activities their hosts have planned for them. “This is a wonderful opportunity for our youth to experience Canada’s diversity,” said Stephanie Hewson, group organizer for W.L. Seaton. “A carefully planned activity program has been developed to showcase our community’s landmarks and learn more about our visitors’ community.” The two groups have been twinned under a project funded by the SEVEC Youth Exchanges Canada program. The program is aimed at youth groups between the ages of 12-17 from various provinces and territories across Canada. Over 5,000 young Canadians traveled in Canada last year thanks to the SEVEC Youth Exchanges Canada program, which is partially funded by the government of Canada through Exchanges Canada, and the Department of Canadian Heritage. While in town, the exchange students visited Silver Star, the Okanagan Science Centre, Kal Park, Halcyon Hot Springs, Revelstoke, Kelowna H2O Centre and Mission Hill Winery. They also spent a day at W.L Seaton experiencing student life in B.C. as well as many activities with their host families.

and BUILDERS Homeowners have a new tool at their fingertips to help them better understand how warranty providers evaluate claims for possible design, labour or material defects in new homes. The Residential Construction Performance Guide is the newest online resource available on the Homeowner Protection Office website at www.hpo.bc.ca. It explains how homes covered by home warranty insurance should perform. Every new home built for sale by a licensed residential builder in B.C. is protected by mandatory third-party home warranty insurance. It’s the strongest system of construction defect insurance in Canada. ““For most consumers, buying a new home is one of the largest financial investments they will make. So it’s essential that homebuyers can make that investment with confidence, knowing that they will not be faced with additional expenses to repair defects after they move in,” said Tony Gioventu, executive director of the Condominium Home Owners’ Association and an advocate for consumer protection. This simple, practical guide is easy to use. It outlines more than 200 possible defects that are searchable online. This includes the most common defect claims that might be submitted under a home warranty insurance policy – from windows that malfunction, to driveway or interior concrete floors that have cracked, to siding that has buckled. Designed primarily for conventional low-rise, wood-frame homes, the guide also provides some helpful guidelines for the common property of multi-unit buildings. Builders can also use the guide to help ensure that they deliver high performance homes.

Vernon teen gets a real taste of fame Sydney Imbeau takes on the starring role on TV sitcom, Really Me, airing tonight KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Sydney Imbeau walks in the room like a breath of fresh air. The sunny and bright 14 year old seems really happy to be where she is at the moment –– at the start of what is looking like a promising career in the film and TV business. It’s been a little over six months since the Vernon born and raised resident found out she was going to be the star of a new TV sitcom, and it’s taken this long for her to break the news to her community. Her family, including mom, Cathie, and dad, Todd, as well as two older sisters and a brother, felt it best to keep things under wraps until the show aired. “I’m surprised her grandmother didn’t tell the whole world,� said proud mom Cathie. In Really Me, a scripted live-action comedy, Imbeau plays lead character, 15-yearold Maddy Cooper, who with her best friend Julia, wins her own reality TV show and looks forward to the fame, endorsement deals and perks they assume will go along with the gig. However, with a pushy producer, an over-enthusiastic family and no privacy, they soon discover that having their lives documented 24/7 may not be as much fun as they thought. “The show is fast-paced, and basically we do a lot of falling and get goop thrown on us,� laughed Imbeau, adding she considers her on-set family as friends. “Maddy is fun, upbeat and outgoing, and she doesn’t let fame with the reality show get in the way of her relationships with her friends and family, and her best friend, Julia (played by Kiana Madeira), come up with crazy ways to make each other, and the people around them, happy. “Sometimes they don’t go as the way they planned, but they learn from their mistakes, and grow closer in the process. That’s their normal. There just happens to be a camera following them.� The Grade 9 Vernon Secondary School student, who just arrived back in Vernon after filming 13 episodes of the show in
COURTESY OF THE FAMILY CHANNEL/PHOTO SUBMITTED
Vernon’s Sydney Imbeau, with Kiana Madeira, right, stars as Maddy Cooper in the new sitcom, Really Me. The Family Channel airs a sneak preview of the show tonight. Imbeau, below, is making a name for herself with her first starring role on TV, as well as parts on films and commercials. Toronto since January, says she’ll most likely be watching herself on TV tonight, when the sneak preview of the sitcom airs on the Family Channel. “I’ve been back home since last Thursday, and we’ve had to drive to Vancouver two times since then,� laughed Imbeau, who has been busy doing publicity for the show, as well as auditioning for other parts. And in life copying fiction, Imbeau’s entry into this multi-camera world was also rather dramatic. She got the part after the producers saw a tape of her auditioning for another show. “They had undergone an all across North America search, and didn’t find anybody they wanted. They found my audition tape for another show... I was shocked when they called me,� she said. Attracted to Imbeau’s appearance, comedic timing, acting skill and energy, the producers sent for the Vernon teen to meet them in Toronto in what would be her first time flying outside the province.
“They told me right then and there, I got the part, and then took me out to dinner to celebrate,� said Imbeau.
Like her character, Imbeau worked long days in front of a camera, but says the experience was definitely worth it. With help from an on-set tutor, and support from VSS’s high performance program, she also managed to keep up with her studies. “People think it’s an easy job to do, but it’s long days, five says a week. I was number one on the call sheet, so I was on set a lot, combining it with my school work, but it was fun.� Imbeau first became interested in acting at the age of eight. It was her sister Allison, now 16, who suggested they both give acting a go, and Imbeau, who cites Grease as one of her favourite movies, thought it would be something fun to do. With no formal training, except in dance, Imbeau managed to land an agent in Vancouver at the age of nine, and soon after, found herself in a commercial for a Holly Hobby snow-cone machine. At last count, she has been featured in 27 commercials. “The first few, I was excited when I saw myself on TV,� she said. “Now’s it’s not as big a deal, but they have all been such great opportunities.� More recently, she had a bit part in the film Marmaduke, a guest part role as Claire in TV show Supernatural, and she recently wrapped up a leading role in the upcoming prequel Marley and Me: The Puppy Years, expected for release in June. Now that the first episodes of Really Me are wrapped up, Imbeau’s wish is that the show be picked up for another season, and also by the Disney Channel in the U.S. like some other Family Channel shows, such as Life with Derek, have previously. “I am hoping for as many seasons of this as possible,� she said. “I’d also like to do a horror film, and would like to get back into dance.� With the possibility of L.A. calling for future opportunities, one things’s for sure, Vernon will remain Imbeau’s home. “I love being in Vernon, and know I will always come back,� she said. Her hometown can support her by catching the sneak peek of Really Me’s first episode, A Star is Born, tonight at 9:30 p.m. on the Family Channel, following the Suite Life Movie. The official premiere of the show, and the regular time slot, will be Saturdays at 6:30, beginning April 23.

Mudmen score some new fans Morning Star Staff
“Mudmen, we love ‘em.” With that ringing endorsement from Ron McLean, of Hockey Night in Canada fame, the Mudmen are toting their bagpipes and Celtic-rock edge to venues across this great nation, with a stop at Sneakers, April 1. “The last few years have been very good for us again with being a part of the new Hockey Night in Canada theme song... playing Parliament Hill (that) CBC televised last summer, playing at the Commonwealth stadium in Edmonton at For the Love of the Game, featuring all the gold medalists from Team Canada’s women’s and men’s hockey teams in attendance, and a lot of festivals,” said Sandy Campbell, who joins his brother Robby as the two bagpipers in the band. With such a unique sound and instrumentation, it’s difficult to place Mudmen within any one particular genre, which happens to be one of their strong points. Both endearing and gritty, the Campbell brothers add an irreplaceable and unique element to the band’s sound, and their image –– they basically look like mean bikers in kilts –– and their prowess on the pipes will literally blow you away. Also featuring vocalist Mordy Horroch, Alex Maletich on guitars and banjo, bassist Troy Spinney and drummer Dylan Broda, Mudmen’s history is full of high-energy Celtic rock sets, performing coast to coast all over North America and Europe, and for certain members of the royal family. Last summer they performed for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 2 when she visited Ottawa for the Canada Day celebrations, and their work with world-famous producer Bob Rock on the new Hockey Night in Canada theme has led the band to develop a more diverse repertoire of music, catering to a universal audience.
This maturation has yielded many successes including a 2010 cross continental tour with Juno Award winning recording artist Johnny Reid, with whom they also performed at the 2010 Canadian Country Music Awards, and on a PBS special. All this has led to headlining spots on dozens of festivals and highland games performances throughout Canada and the U.S. The Mudmen’s recorded music has been featured on programs such as NBC’s The Black Donnellys and Showtime’s Shameless, as well as soundtracks for several video games, WWE’s Celtic Tag Team The Highlanders, six music videos in rotation on MuchMusic, Don Cherry’s Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em series... the list goes on.

Country and western artist gives a ‘hands up’ to the Arbour Morning Star Staff
Once a cowboy, always a cowboy. Local range manager and country and western artist Rob Dinwoodie is tipping his hat to a local charity upon the release of his new CD, aptly titled Hands Up. The Vernon musician is joining forces with a host of other singers/songwriters to raise funds for the Arbour, a multi-use facility owned by Vernon Alliance Church, and to raise awareness about social justice in the community. The concert takes place at the church April 1. “I’ve been considering a CD release concert for my new album and felt strongly that it had to be for a purpose that benefited the community,” said Dinwoodie who

Vernon cowboy artist Rob Dinwoodie releases his new CD, Hands Up, with a special fundraiser at Vernon Alliance Church, Friday, April 1. discussed the idea of a benefit concert with Jon Buller, pastor of worship and the arts at Vernon Alliance, who produced the album. Dinwoodie’s fourth album, Hands Up was recorded by John Newton at the Groove recording
studio, which is an extension of the VAC’s worship and arts ministry located in the Arbour. “There is so much going on in the Arbour that most people are unaware of, from haircuts to clothing, as well as being used for teaching
classes that VAC offers for children, youth and adults throughout the week and weekends,” said Dinwoodie. As an established country and western artist, Dinwoodie has been writing songs and entertaining at events in western Canada, including the Calgary Stampede and other festivals, for many years. Most recently, he entertained locals and tourists at the Cowboy Dinner Show that took place Friday nights at the Historic O’Keefe Ranch in the summer. His songwriting has been compared to that of Ian Tyson’s and Gary Fjellgaard’s, framing stories into songs with ballads and western swing.

et’s see, here: the story of an ordinary slacker who discovers a mystery drug that gives him superhuman mental ability. Fill in your own Charlie Sheen joke here. Honestly though, the writers of Limitless could’ve perhaps benefited from popping a few of those magic pills themselves. Jason Armstrong This film has a ridiculously great concept, but runs out of steam before even the halfway mark. Instead of looking at how many cool options such a set-up provides, they have their players plod along in what looks to be yet another tired, predictable thriller. For a movie that supposedly promises unlimited intelligence and imagination –– this thing certainly has its limits. Bradley Cooper stars as Eddie Morra, a shaggy, unshaven and horrifically unfocussed writer, stuck on the first paragraph of his long-overdue novel and dumped by his frustrated girlfriend, Lindy (Abbie Cornish). A chance encounter with his exwife’s brother finds him in possession of tiny pills that, after ingested, allow him to write an entire novel in the course of four days, learn to play the piano, master a couple of foreign languages and, most importantly, it would

It turns out that this mystery medication (a not-yet-legal substance known as NZT) not only unlocks the mythological 80 per cent of the human brain that we don’t use, it’s quite sought after by a heap of bad, knife-wielding dudes. Especially since the hangover from the ride can be a real killer (literally), and the only way to avoid the crash is to maintain a 100 per cent brain. Limitless, directed by Neil Burger (The Illusionist), is a great looking movie. From the dizzying opening credits to the scenes in which the characters are first discovering how their brain can go from crawl to sprint in an
instant (bright colours, close-ups, letters tumbling from the sky, and, just for you, ladies, those Smurf-blue eyes of Mr. Cooper) make for a pretty cool visual sit. But the storyline itself isn’t up to the pace. When Cooper surrounds himself with business tycoons, including Robert DeNiro (who is still one of the greatest, but unfortunately just cashing another pay cheque in this role), Limitless juggles a few too many details, eases up on the tension, and becomes tremendously uninteresting. What Burger and his mates really need are coherence pills. The film is currently showing at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Arts
From Hanky Panky to Hallelujah: k.d. to visit valley KELOWNA –– k.d. lang is that rare performer who, over 25 years as a major-label artist, has matured before our very ears. The Alberta native launched her career with a blend of country-rock stylings and a punk-like attitude, but from the very beginning, her bravura singing belied her kitschy cowgirl outfits and spiky hair. The Times of London has declared: “It’s a quirk of the music industry that one of the sexiest, most sensual voices in all of pop music comes not from some raventressed siren in a glitterdress, but a middle-aged woman with a utility haircut and a penchant for male tailoring.” The Canadian crooner and her new band, The
Siss Boom Bang, visit the Kelowna Community Theatre July 24. On the heels of her retrospective CD, Recollection, lang sails into uncharted waters on Sing It Loud, her first work with a full-fledged band since the Reclines. The album comes out April 12 and was recorded in Nashville at the studio of Joe Pisapia (who co-produced with Lang). Sing It Loud is a true collaborative effort with nearly all of the album’s 10 tracks co-written by the artist (five with Pisapia, and three with Siss Boom Bang members Daniel Clarke and Joshua Grange). Lang is one artist who has truly never been pigeonholed. After independently releasing A Truly
Western Experience in 1984 at home, lang joined Sire/Warner Bros for her 1987 U.S. debut, Angel With A Lariat, with her then band, the Reclines. Her 1988 follow-up, Shadowland, brought her right to the heart of Nashville for a countrypolitan-themed collaboration. Her 1989 Grammy Award-winning Absolute Torch and Twang (Best Female Country Vocal Performance) combined her love of country with increasingly sophisticated, emotive torch singing, and her 1992, platinum-selling Ingenue yielded her biggest hit, Constant Craving, as well as another Grammy, this time for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. On subsequent releas-
es, lang has continued to both fine-tune and expand the parameters of her songwriting and repertoire. Along the way, she has garnered two more Grammies, eight Juno Awards, and the Order of Canada. In 2005’s Hymns of the 49th Parallel, lang presented her most
the legendary Orbison for the teen flick Hiding Out. She has since collaborated with the who’s who of the Canadian and international music industry, including Jane Sibbery, Bonnie Raitt, Elton John and Tony Bennett, with whom she released the 2002 CD,
compelling set of material by other Canadian songwriters, and her cover of Leonard Cohen’s oft-covered Hallelujah has become, along with her breathtaking cover of Roy Orbison’s Crying, an inconcert showstopper. Langoriginallyrecorded the latter song with
Wonderful World. Bennett has called her “the best singer of her generation.” Tickets to see k.d. lang with the Siss Boom Bang are $66 (plus charges) and go on sale today at 10 a.m. at all Ticketmaster outlets, www.ticketmaster.ca or call 1-855-985-5000.

Filmmaker spreads word about Bokashi CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
The star of the show is simple bacteria and the enthusiasm is catching on. Bruce Mol heard about the Bokashi composting process, which produces compost from household and other organic waste with the use of a bacterial innoculant, and knew he had to spread the word. Then he heard that the Interior Provincial Exhibition was going to use Bokashi composting to deal with food waste and saw an opportunity to follow through with making a video. “Dave Weatherill of Briteland has always been enthusiastic about getting people info about different ways of gardening. He brought the idea here,” said Mol, who was working for Weatherill at the time. Mol, who is best known in Vernon for his 2008 film, The Archie Hickling Story about the hero of the Okanagan Hotel Fire, started making family movies with his father’s old Super 8 camera. He went on to study and teach visual and graphic arts and it was not until he was taking a course at Vancouver community College that he got interested in video. He taught video courses at the college and did a variety of projects, including for museums and training videos for Interior Health and orientation videos for Pacific Regeneration Technologies. “The language of video I found very interesting. Converting what I know and see to something other people can see and know is a chal-
lenge I really enjoyed taking up,” he said. Mol worked with SENS (Sustainable Environment Network Society) and the IPE from the beginning, showing the greening of the fair when 50 gallon drums were put out to sort the fair garbage. “The people at the fair were supportive but they did have a little trouble figuring out the sorting and there were SENS volunteers there to help them sort what was recyclable,” he said.
“We made about 1,500 pounds of waste material into good compost.” — Bruce Mol The Bokashi method, developed by Dr. Larry Green in the U.S., uses vegetable and fruit waste, meal scraps, oil and bones, and uses a bacterial culture to break them down. The material decomposes quickly (within seven to 10 days in home-sized containers) and is ordourless. It can be used on the garden immediately and planting can take place as soon as the compost is worked into the soil. The bacterial culture for about six-months of home use costs about $20. The Regional District of the North Okanagan bought the innoculant needed for the fair project. Mol uses the method for his home and is looking forward to
using the compost on his garden this spring. He started shooting the film the first day of the fair and was there every day for five days as the barrels filled with food waste, recyclable food containers and flatware. He followed up with Karen Truesdale, project manager, through the sorting and shredding of the material, done by SENS volunteers with help from Venture Training, through the testing required by the Ministry of Environment, to spreading the finished product on the field of Doug Weir’s organic farm near Armstrong. “There’s a lot of corn eaten at the IPE,” Mol said, laughing. “What was really interesting and encouraging was that Larry Green was so caught up in seeing this pilot project that we were doing that he came up at his own cost to see it and I think he was pleased with it. “We found that it was a lot more labour intensive than we had thought but we ended up using a leaf shredder while there would be better equipment if this was done on a community-wide scale. “In the end we made about 1,500 pounds of waste material into good compost. If the fair could do this, it could also be done for community and family gardens. The farmer who took the Bokashi compost had grown the corn used at the fair so it was a closed loop. I would like to see other fairs and sporting events use this method.” Mol has been working on editing the 66-minute show for several months and is waiting for the

Bruce Mol, producer of the Bokashi Movie, shows how the compost making system can be used for home waste to make compost for gardens. music to be written. The film will be shown to SENS first and then there will be a public showing. Mol hopes the film will be shown at
conferences, gardening courses and for education. For more information see bokashimovie.com.

Relay for Life organizers Dave Hesketh and Sarah Pruckl take on the theme, “Fight Back.” The 12-hour Relay for Life takes place June 4 and 5 at Polson Park. Team and individual registration is on now.
This is Teresa...
Dave Hesketh won his fight with cancer and now he’s ready to “fight back” to help others through the Relay for Life. “I liken the relay to a telethon where teams raise money throughout the year and the relay is a chance for us to come together to share in the celebration, donate to the cause and have a memorable experience,” he said. As leadership chairman of the Relay for Life taking place in Polson Park June 4 and 5, he’s
pleased with the interest. “We have 26 teams signed up already and our goal is to have 50 teams, the same as we had last year. We have some returning teams and some new ones signed up and there’s always room for more,” he said. “We’re working with local businesses and supporters to make this a fun and entertaining 12 hours. This is more than an event, it really is an experience. And I know that from personal experience.”
The teams camp in the park overnight and have one member running at all times from evening to morning. “We still have room for volunteers, for organization, and on the event day. There are so many corporate teams that we would like to see get some challenges going,” said Sarah Pruckl, event coordinator. For more information, to volunteer or to register a team contact Pruckl at 250-542-0770 or email vernonrelay@bc.cancer.ca.

Girlfriend fears boyfriend’s mom

I started as a teenager, cigarettes were 11 cents a pack. They now cost more than $5. In 1984, I got hit in the mouth with a pole and ended up losing all my teeth. One evening, due to my cigarette cough, my upper false teeth popped loose. That’s when I decided to quit. Much to my surprise, I did. My secret was not to quit at the end of the pack, carton or month, but to quit right now. If I don’t smoke that first cigarette, I won’t be able to smoke the second. This February marked the 23rd anniversary of my quitting. That partial pack of cigarettes is still in my kitchen. Unfortunately, I didn’t quit soon enough. I developed emphysema and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). It’s no fun being hooked up to oxygen. I also have poor circulation in my lower legs, but surgeons won’t operate due to my damaged lungs. Two of my friends tried my method of not smoking that “next one” and managed to quit. There are better ways to spend your money than on hospitals and medicine, plus you’ll live longer and be healthier. — Proud Quitter Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

News Budget pleases B.C.’s new finance minister, despite repercussions TOM FLETCHER Black Press
B.C. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon likes the direction of the latest federal budget, but he is prepared for the likelihood that it will lead to the defeat of the Conservative government in Ottawa.
Falcon declined to speculate about the effect of a possible May federal election on the upcoming harmonized sales tax referendum or a B.C. election that could come later this year. He said corporate tax cuts maintained by federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty would
combine with provincial rates to give B.C. the lowest corporate taxes of any jurisdiction in the G7 industrialized countries by next year. Falcon added that he is encouraged by Ottawa’s latest plan to reduce the federal deficit by a quarter this year and continue progress until Canada is back to balanced
budgets by 2015-16. Investment incentives in the federal budget would also help Ridley Terminals expand its capacity to ship B.C. coal and minerals to export markets, he said. Falcon praised the proposed increase to pensions for low-income seniors.

Certain impediments and/ or restrictions that have dogged your steps are likely to be alleviated in the next year. Recognize when they are gone, so you’ll know when you are free to do what you want.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) It is best to not take for granted all those little things you do by rote. Complications that could set you astray are breeding in unexpected places.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Although the weekend is upon you and a lot of fun things are in the making, keep your priorities in order, or some of your duties may keep you working longer than necessary.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Overanalyzing things can erroneously steer you into a negative frame of mind, making your life miserable. Try to keep balanced.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Think twice about volunteering to manage a job for another, because even though your intentions are good, some unknown quantities could gum up the works. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) When negotiating a matter of significance, be as forthright as possible. If you think skirting the truth is a shrewd move, you are likely to end up tripping over your own feet. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Sticking to proven, tested methods is likely to be far more productive than experimenting with something new. Don’t try to change the plan in the middle of the game. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Things aren’t likely to work out too well if you attempt to use your social contacts for personal gain. Trying to mix business and pleasure will hurt you greatly. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If your financial advisers are doing their level best, don’t upset the applecart by thinking you can do better. Inexperience can lead to a great loss.
Distributor: Debbie 250-549-2565
A CUT above the rest!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Do not put someone, even unintentionally, in a position where they have to do more for you than is reasonable. Keep things in proper perspective at all times. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Certain important objectives of yours might not be so vital to anybody else, so if you want any help from another, a little salesmanship is in order. Politeness will help.

Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do?
Buy SAMOSAS
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.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Although your friends understand and accept your inquisitive nature, you can, at times, push them too far with some probing questions. Lay off, already! SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Even though it might look like you’re getting what you want, if your methods are inconsistent, things can change on a dime. Stay the course.

Bridge by Phillip Alder Vincent van Gogh said, “Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.” Yesterday we looked at a deal in which declarer had to win three tricks from a suit of queen-jackfourth opposite ace-third. We learned that the best play is to cash the ace, then to lead (if necessary) twice toward the hand with the two honors. Is this deal in the same family? You are in three notrump, and West leads the heart queen to dummy’s king. How would you continue? This is the same boring auction that we had yesterday -- but at least it gets us to the play

quicker! First, count your top tricks. Here, you have six: two hearts, one diamond and three clubs. You can probably get two more winners from diamonds, since the missing five cards will usually split 3-2. However, you do not have time to play on that suit. The defense would establish and run its heart suit first. You would lose at least two diamonds, two hearts and one spade. Instead, you must try to take three spade tricks. So, at trick two, lead a spade to your king, the hand with two honors. When you win the trick, go back to the board with a club and call for dummy’s second low spade. Since

East has to win with his ace, your contract is safe. After East returns a heart to dummy’s ace, you cash the spade jack and claim, having three hand entries to reach the spade queen. Remember that when you do not also have the 10, lead toward the hand with the two honors.
