Field of sports dreams not dead yet RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Plans for a sports complex next to Okanagan College will not be abandoned. Greater Vernon Advisory Committee officials vow that the Agricultural Land Commission will receive another non-farm use application for 10 acres so a track and other sports amenities can be built. “There is an ability for reconsideration so we will put together another presentation with more information,” said director Jim Garlick.
“We should carry on and give it another try.” The ALC recently shot down a bid from Okanagan College for the $7.8 million sports facility because it insists the land has strong agricultural capabilities and it doesn’t believe there was sufficient information about long-term recreational needs in the area. All GVAC players, as well as the college, will now get together to pursue a new strategy. “We need to make sure we go forward with one idea in
mind,” said Garlick of presenting a unified front. Director Patrick Nicol wants assurances that more than politicians and regional district staff will be involved in the process. “At some point, we have to draw the user groups in and they need an opportunity to speak to the ALC,” he said, adding that the complex would support athletes of all ages, the economy and the college. “It has a great long-term benefit and that shouldn’t be lost.”
According to the ALC, it is difficult to make a decision on the sports complex proposal without information on current facilities and whether further Agricultural Land Reserve applications will be needed for future expansion needs. Nicol believes that information already exists. “We’ve had a master parks plan and this was a piece of that puzzle,” he said of the track concept. Garlick, though, says the ALC’s approach makes sense. “The ALC wants to see a
package on the big picture of Greater Vernon needs. They don’t want it piece meal,” he said. Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA, has discussed the ALC’s ruling with Premier Christy Clark. “She was sympathetic to the cause,” said Foster who supports the sports complex. “We don’t want government interference on legislative bodies but situations like this require some consultation. I am hopeful both parties can get together and discuss the matter.”
An Enderby senior will have plenty of time to contemplate the seriousness of his actions. David Alexander Beattie, 75, was sentenced in Vernon Provincial Court Wednesday to a total of 34 months in jail, and was given a 10-year driving prohibition following a two-car accident on Highway 97 near the Swan Lake overpass Jan. 13. Beattie pleaded guilty to one count of impaired driving, one count of flight from a peace officer and one count of driving while disqualified. Beattie was given 34 months on the impaired charge, and two years in jail for each of the other two counts, but the time will be served concurrently. An off-duty police officer witnessed the crash between a Ford Windstar van and a Toyota Matrix rental car that was being driven by a man from Knoxville, Tenn., shortly before 8 p.m. Police reported the driver of the van was observed fleeing the area, running across a field toward Temptasian Restaurant. The man allegedly entered the restaurant, bleeding. A police officer patrolling Anderson Way heard about the accident and the suspect, and found the man in the parking lot of the restaurant. Both drivers suffered minor injuries in the accident.

Sex offender expected to remain behind bars ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A convicted North Okanagan sex offender will likely never be released from a U.S. penitentiary. Sentencing is set for June 6 in Abilene, Tex. for Harvey James Pelland, 76, after a U.S. federal jury convicted Pelland in March of seven counts of a superseding indictment in Lubbock, Tex. Harvey Pelland in January 2011. The jury found Pelland guilty of two counts of possessing child pornography and five counts of receiving a visual depiction of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct. According to a U.S. Department of

Justice release, each count of child pornography possession carries a maximum statutory sentence of 10 years imprisonment. Each count of receipt of a depiction of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct carries a statutory sentence of not less than five years, and not more than 20 years. Pelland has been in custody since his arrest on April 6, 2009 on a state charge of failure to register as a sex offender. He pleaded guilty to the charge in July ‘09. The U.S. government presented evidence in last month’s trial that in March and April ‘09, while Pelland was living in the town of Big Spring, near Lubbock, he possessed images of child pornography and received child porn images from the Internet. Pelland was convicted in Vernon Provincial Court in 2007 of possessing
child pornography after setting up a video camera in a Lumby area home he shared with a woman and her young daughter in order to film the girl. Following his conviction for the Lumby incident, upon his release from prison, Pelland was to be placed on three years probation with strict conditions, which included not being allowed to attend a public park, playground or community centre where children under 17 will or can reasonably be expected to be at. He was not allowed to go near day care centres and was not to have a computer or any device that gives him access to the Internet. Pelland skipped the North Okanagan and went down to the Lower Mainland, where he was arrested in White Rock coming out of a park. In November, 2007, he reported to a probation office in Vernon for the final

Debate over the need for air quality programs continues to smoulder. The North Okanagan Regional District will ask member jurisdictions if they are willing to consider options for possibly providing a variety of initiatives that help tackle air pollution. “We don’t necessarily need a new function,” said director Wayne Lippert, adding that some of the programs could possibly be done within the current NORD structure. The regional district ended its air quality function last year after a number of jurisdictions Wayne Lippert dropped out, largely because of cost. In the OkanaganSimilkameen Regional District, air quality issues are not part of an individual function, but are instead handled by existing departments. “Chipping is done through the landfills. Bylaw review is done by administration staff,” said Allan Patton, an OSRD representative. “Plastics and recycling are done by public works. It doesn’t take much commitment of staff time if it’s spread out.” Since NORD’s function ceased, it has not had a voice at the Okanagan-Similkameen Coalition, which involves OSRD and the Central Okanagan Regional District. “It takes a valley-wide, co-operative approach in all things to do with air quality,” said Patton, who is coalition chairperson. Among the areas the coalition focuses on are seeking government grants, planning, a wood stove exchange, farm chipping, anti-idling signs and dust control. But Patton says the coalition has no taxing authority and does not impose its will. “Decision-making powers lie within the purview of each regional district and not the coalition,” he said. “You decide if you want to spend money on programs or not, regardless of what other regional districts are doing. You control your own situation financially.” NORD is being asked to send two political representatives to coalition meetings. Director Buffy Baumbrough questions NORD participating in the coalition if the regional district does not have staff available to act on air quality concerns. “How will we address the issues raised by the coalition and if there are grants from senior government?” she said. “How will we ensure that we can oversee those programs?”

Dispute sends Foisy walking RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A veteran politician not only stands behind his convictions, they lead him right out the door. For the second time since February, Cherryville director Eugene Foisy has temporarily walked out of the North Okanagan Regional District board room to avoid voting on Greater Vernon governance. “The electoral areas fought for years to have only our vote directed to our communities. We didn’t want Coldstream and Vernon having a say on things in our community,” he said after Wednesday’s meeting. “Even if the Local Government Act says I can vote on Greater Vernon issues, this doesn’t effect me or my community.” On Wednesday, a majority of the directors agreed to amend the bylaw that established the Greater
“I don’t want to vote yes or no.” — Eugene Foisy Vernon parks and recreation function so the largest jurisdiction has the same number of votes as all of the other participants combined when at the regional district board table. NORD staff state that all board members, not just function participants, can vote on changes to bylaws that create services. There is no legal ability to abstain, so under procedures, Foisy would have been recorded as being in favour of the motion if he did not raise his hand in opposition. Instead, he decided to leave the room until after the vote was conducted. “Why can’t I abstain? I don’t want to vote yes or no,” he said.
The push for the bylaw amendment has come from Coldstream and BX-Silver Star which are concerned Vernon could gain another vote if its population increases during the next census, and it would be able to control all decisions. But Foisy isn’t convinced with that argument. “There is a balance now (between the jurisdictions) and it’s not working,” he said. “There are real problems that haven’t been addressed, and until they sit down and start working on it, what we do means nothing.” The next step is for the proposed bylaw amendment to go to Coldstream, Vernon,
BX-Silver Star and BX-Swan Lake for consideration. “If two-thirds of the participants agree, it changes, and if there isn’t two-thirds support, it doesn’t change,” said Jim Garlick, Coldstream director. “This is a commitment to keep it (function) in the same structure as it sits now.” Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, says his constituents don’t want a function controlled by Vernon. “Why should Area C spend $450,000 a year with no meaningful vote? There is no point of going into a service if there is no feeling of fairness,” he said. Opposition to the bylaw amendment came from Vernon’s three representatives. “You are tampering with something that has worked for years,” said director Patrick Nicol. Director Wayne Lippert denied the city wants to control parks

Work is continuing on the search for more human bones in a Vernon orchard. An anthropologist from Vancouver has arrived to help Vernon RCMP following the discovery of a human bone in an orchard in the 6000 block of Pleasant Valley Road April 1. The bone was discovered by an excavator doing work for the property owner. Police said earlier this week that a further search would be conducted on the property to see if more remains can be found within the area, estimated to be an acre in size. The bone was discovered in an orchard that’s been around the North Okanagan for many years, and work was being done to add more trees to the property. The anthropologist was brought in to use her expertise and experience in dating bones to try and determine how long the bone has been in the ground. RCMP report the bone is definitely “not fresh,”

pened here with agriculture.” However, other board members disagree with that approach. “We have our own museum and arts and culture groups asking for support. In Lumby, there won’t be a lot of support for O’Keefe,” said Kevin Acton, Lumby director. Dee Wejr, Enderby director, pointed out that her city has limited financial resources. “Our historical society and museum are more important than O’Keefe Ranch,” she said of designating funds. Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, is willing to consider options for paying for the water line fees, but he insists that a broader issue is being ignored. “The problem is the viability of the ranch. We have to look at these things instead of just throwing out little bits of money,” he said. O’Keefe Ranch wants the water line to improve water pressure for fire suppression. “Fire is a legitimate concern. We have price-
less heirlooms in our mansion,” said Larry Bell, ranch president, adding that all off the heritage buildings are made from wood. The matter was discussed by the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee Thursday.
Gyula Kiss, Coldstream director, doesn’t believe water utility customers should provide what he calls a subsidy to the ranch. “We already went out of our way by extending our (utility) boundary for them,” he said.

Under a spell
F
libbertigibbet (flib-ber-tee-JIB-it). Sounds to me like it could be a curse word. Probably should be a curse word. No, flibbertigibbet, according to my built-in work computer dictionary, is a noun meaning “a frivolous, flighty, or excessively talkative person.” It is also, as I found out from teammate Kristin Froneman, used in the classic musical The Sound of Music, in song, to describe Julie Andrews’ character, Maria. I did not know that because, stupidly, I have never Roger Knox seen The Sound of Music. Not that it matters. What matters is how to spell flibbertigibbet and The Mighty Morning Star Typos – complete with import the Reverend Bill Harrison, father of national spelling bee competitor Richard Harrison, a Grade 5 Harwood student, on our roster – did not spell it correctly during the pressure-filled, fun-filled, highly entertaining Junction Literacy and Youth Centres’ fourth annual Spelling Bee Challenge Wednesday morning at the Best Western Vernon Lodge. The event brings together community teams who put their spelling knowledge to use to raise money for the Junction Literacy and Youth Centres’ programs and services. A record 18 tables took part Wednesday, eight players per team, and raised $19,500. Three teams – and not us, though you’d think a boy should be with his dad – won draws to use Richard Harrison’s considerable spelling talents. One team consisted of high school students. The City of Vernon had two teams. Nixon Wenger, showing why people aren’t fond of lawyers, brought with them an articling student who was a former spelling bee champion. It didn’t help the legal eagles. The Queen Bees, led by captain Lindy

Blakely, consisting of eight friends who, I am certain, studied for the bee over the weekend, and the Okanagan College Eggheads, led proudly by regional dean John Lent, ended up with 14 out of 18 words correct to meet in a one-word, mixed-word scramble. The team that unscrambled the word first, and spelled it correctly, would be declared spelling bee champions. The Bees, who had a premonition they would win the event for a third straight year after their table won three of the door prizes as well, unscrambled the word “champions” and, indeed, won the bee. The Typos gave it a valiant effort. We had reporters Graeme Corbett, Jennifer Smith, and captain Katherine (Morty) Mortimer, on our team. Editor Glenn Mitchell (“I’ll sign off on that,” he said about words we got right) and photographer Cory Bialecki, who missed, approximately, 13 of the 15 preliminary round words taking photos, rounded out our roster. Personally, I was seeking a shot at spelling bee redemption in ‘11. Last year, I convinced my teammates that Tsawassen, the community near Vancouver, was spelled just like that. Who knew Tsawwassen actually had two Ws? Apparently a few more teams than us knew that because we lost the bee by one. So I wanted another chance this year, and had that chance during the third and final round, on the word “idiosyncrasy.” I convinced Smith that it was “acy” at the end, like, say, literacy. Smith had it right, as did captain Katherine. But Morty, as captain, went with the “acy” version. Smith said “I told you it was an S!!” Morty wouldn’t even look at me. We then messed up two of three tiebreaker round words (supersede and aficionado) to finish behind the Eggheads and Queen Bees, missing the championship scramble for the second straight year by one word. Flibbertigibbet.
If sports teach us anything, it’s perseverance. Even if you lose the first round or an entire game, keep your spirits high and prepare for the next match. Giving up is your worst companion. The same goes with Greater Vernon’s attempt to get a sports complex. The Agricultural Land Commission has denied a nonfarm use application so 10 acres next to Okanagan College can be used for a regulation-sized track and other recreational amenities. Instead of just sitting on the sidelines and accepting the ALC ruling as a fait acompli, Greater Vernon politicians, bureaucrats, the college and user groups are doing the right thing. They are preparing a new package to resubmit to the ALC. And all residents of the North Okanagan should endorse this campaign. After all, a sports facility will provide an anchor for Okanagan College and it can be a catalyst for new courses, as well as drawing new students and instructors to the area. Greater Vernon will be able to host large sports events, such as the B.C. Summer Games, and that will directly benefit hotels, restaurants and other businesses. But more importantly, a sports complex will provide critical recreational services to residents who already live here, and it will appeal to people of all ages looking to relocate. Sports activities next to the college will also take development pressure off truly viable farm land. If Greater Vernon has to jump through additional hoops to meet the demands of the ALC, so be it. The bottom line is the concept of a sports complex is sound, and now is not the time to declare defeat.

Nurses doing their best but...
I
would like to commend Judy Douglas on her letter to the editor “Every Day is Code Purple at VJH” that appeared in your paper March 14. I agree that our health care professionals are providing the best care they can under difficult circumstances; that being overcrowding, short staffing and too few care beds in Vernon. For the past few months, I have been meeting with nurses and health care providers who work at Vernon Jubilee Hospital and in the Vernon community. The stories they relate are truly a concern; extended shifts of 16, 20 and even 24 hours, patients cared for in hallways, being called to work on every day off, admitting patients to wards with pressure sores from spending too long on emergency room stretchers, sending patients home early even though they continue to need care in hospital, sending patients out on day passes so that their bed can be assigned to another patient, cancelling surgeries and being asked to work in areas without the training or orientation to provide care safely. Nurses are under extreme moral distress everyday at GO FOR PRISON Your featured letter from Huguette Allen re: the proposed prison site in Lumby is a classic example of speaking out both sides of one's mouth. Her complaint is that Lumby was told is was too small for their own high school, but large enough for this prison concept. Well, how does one grow a community to the point where their educational tax base is self-sustaining? You create industry. You create jobs. You bring millions of provincial and/or federal tax dollars into your community and allow your economic multipliers of that money to bring prosperity to your area. You don't send it elsewhere. In my opinion, every single community in the Okanagan should be fighting to get this prison, not fighting to refuse it. I would personally like to see Vernon city council adopt a proposal bringing it to our city. Somewhere out on Commonage Road would be perfect, perhaps in an unused and obtainable corner of the DND lands. Looking at the concept, it has the appearance of a retirement community rather than Alcatraz, so an eyesore it's not. And even if it was, it wouldn't be going downtown. And, what types of jobs would it create? Positions for guards, obvi-

VJH. It is because they are professionals that they continue to proved excellent care for patients while ignoring their own needs and the needs of their families.

ously. Counsellors, as well. But there would also be kitchen, laundry, supply, driver, medical and maintenance positions, and that doesn't even include the jobs to be created by the construction of the facility. A $200 million construction project and millions of tax dollars injected into our local community and economy on an annual basis? Full-time, government employment at a time when the economy elsewhere is retreating or shutting down? The answer, when somebody offers you such gifts, is always yes. Paul Cousins
with mental illness and addictions are put in treatment centres instead of prisons. These programs have a higher success rate than prisons, cost taxpayers less then prisons, and are more humane. We would like to see the government funds allocated for more prisons going to build mental health facilities, addiction treatment centres and life skills training centres. We believe these and other preventive programs would make our communities safer and healthier then more prisons. Reg Kienast and Dianne Wells
NO LUMBY JAIL Lumby doesn't need a prison. It needs a mental health facility. Here is the reason why: it is estimated that one-third of the prison population has mental illnesses that do not get appropriate treatment in prisons. These people have been marginalized by our society. Through ignorance or desperation they have broken a law and are now being punished for their condition. So, do the math. If one-third of the prison population was put into appropriate care, there would be one-third more space in jails for dangerous offenders. Some countries have implemented successful programs where those
IN RESPONSE After reading the comments of our esteemed Member of Parliament, Colin Mayes, I feel the need to express my concerns. First and foremost is my disappointment that Mr. Mayes is worried about the perception created by recent rulings from the speaker of the House. I would rather he be concerned that his government may be in breach of parliamentary privilege. Mr. Mayes, it is not the perception that is the problem but facts that give Canadians a reason to believe that their government has been hiding information and misleading us all. The Conservative Party ran on

from if the two floors of the tower are finished with additional beds. In April, a few hundred nurses will graduate across the Interior from university programs. Most will be unable to find permanent employment with IHA. Of the few that are offered work, the positions will be casual, with not enough hours to help consolidate their skills or provide enough income to live. Many will opt to move to other provinces or the U.S. to find employment. Christy Clark promises to focus her government on improving services to families and children. Her first step was to increase the minimum wage in B.C. An admirable first step. The next step is for her to improve health care services for families, children and seniors. I believe Vernon would welcome a visit from our new premier announcing that the new hospital tower will be completed with an additional 60 beds and our nursing students will be hired to care for the families of this community. Christine Sorensen Regional Chair Thompson-North Okanagan B.C. Nurse’s Union
a platform of accountability and transparency and yet they routinely block access to information and stifle honest debate. I agree with Mr. Mayes that the government should be focused on the economy and health care, and yet in recent memory, it seems all the government is really interested in is prodding the Liberals and teasing the NDP. Instead of ensuring taxpayer money is spent efficiently we see a massive increase in Government of Canada ads on the economic action plan and other uniquely Conservative programs. I will applaud Mr. Mayes for expressing his disappointment in the conduct of Minister Bev Oda. He is willing to do something the PM does not. I ask that you not sacrifice the principles you were elected on, and pressure your leader to ask for Oda's resignation. Any business person will tell you that we all make mistakes but sometimes, no matter how nice of person you are, you have to pay for it. There is much more to Mr. Mayes' comments I find issue with but my final comment will be on his convenient reference to the Liberal sponsorship scandal. Remember, rules are rules. The Liberals broke the rules and are doing their time for it. What
makes the Conservative in-and-out scheme any less repulsive? Sure the Liberals used taxpayer money, but the Conservative Party is compromising our democracy. Can we say this is any better? Dustin Griffin

Jury members selected for murder trial ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A jury is slated to be in place by the end of today for a highly publicized B.C. Supreme Court trial with significant North Okanagan ties. Jury selection began Wednesday in Vancouver in the case of five men believed to be associated with an organized crime gang referred to by RCMP as
“Selecting the jury is a slow, long process.” — Al Haslett the Greeks. The five men – Pete Manalakos, Jr., Dale Sipes, Sheldon O’Donnell, Leslie Podolski and Douglas Brownell – are facing murder- and drug-
related charges in connection with a string of homicides in the North Okanagan in 2004 and 2005. “Selecting the jury is a slow, long process, but they want to make sure
they get the right people and take their time doing it,” said RCMP Sgt. Al Haslett, who has been one of the top investigators with the case from the outset. “There’s limited space so they can only get so many people into the courthouse. They’re taking them in in different states. It’s a process the sheriffs have and it works pretty effectively.”
Haslett said five people were chosen during the opening day of jury selection Wednesday, and that lawyers hoped to have the 12-person jury in place by the end of today. The trial, which Haslett anticipates could take up to a year to argue, is slated to begin May 9. “Everybody’s been looking forward to getting this started,” said
Number of vehicle thefts drops in North Okanagan ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Successful crime reduction strategies are working well for the Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP detachment when it comes to theft of, and theft from, vehicles. ICBC released statistics that showed thefts of vehicles reported to ICBC from Vernon dropped 47 per cent in 2010 over 2009. Since 2003, vehicle thefts have declined 57 per cent in Vernon. Despite a rash of thefts from vehicles this past weekend, Vernon numbers dropped 31 per cent in 2010 from the year before, and the number has dipped by 71 per cent from Gord Molendyk 2003 to 2010. “I think a large part of that are the ini-
tiatives our detachment has put in place,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk, referring to the detachment’s community response unit which handles a great majority of these type of complaints. Targeting prolific offenders by monitoring their movements and whereabouts has also helped reduce the theft numbers, as has the province-wide bait car program. Specifically, there were 130 reported thefts of vehicles from Vernon to ICBC in 2010, down from 250 in 2009. The largest number of thefts reported in one year was 310 in 2003. There were 100 reported thefts from vehicles in Vernon last year, a drop from 150 reported in ‘09 and a long ways from the 400 reported in 2004. “Obviously, our crime reduction strategies are paying off,” said Molendyk.
Haslett. “We’ve been working at this upward of five years.”
The accused were in the courthouse for the start of jury selection.

Tube Taxi gains annual contract RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A popular tourism draw in Enderby will have access to public land but only on a year-toyear basis. Council decided Monday to only provide an annual permit to Enderby Tube Taxi to use part of Belvidere Park although the business had sought a lease for five to 10 years. “We like what’s happening there but we don’t want to get into a long-term situation,” said Mayor Dee Wejr. “Because we are renting out a portion of city property, we never know when we may need the property for something else.” Tube Taxi transports people to strategic dropoff points along the Shuswap River so they can go tubing. They will then be
“It helps with parking issues along the river and locals use it because we don’t have to use our own vehicles.” — Dee Wejr picked up at Tuey Park and taken back to Belvidere Park, where their vehicles are located. Wejr believes the
business has played a role in tourists coming to Enderby to tube down the river and that has had a direct benefit for the
economy. But more importantly, Wejr says the Tube Taxi shuttle means people have an easy way to get back to their vehicles and aren’t being stranded along the route. “It helps with parking issues along the river and locals use it because we don’t have to use our own vehicles. Parking is always at a premium.”

The District of Lake Country is embracing social media, but some restraint will be necessary. On Tuesday, council adopted a social media policy. “You need to have rules about what you do on Facebook,” said Coun. Noreen Guenther. “It’s a new medium so we need guidelines about what staff can use it for and not use it for.” The policy establishes the principles expected of all staff and council members when engaging in social media publication and commentary on behalf of the district. The policy calls for employees to be cautious of posting or disclosing personal details on social media, and that content associated with the municipality will be consistent with district business. “Employees engaging in

Butcher Boys Quality social media on behalf of the district are required to identify themselves as an employee of the district,” it states. “District employees shall not publish or comment via social media in any way during work hours, using work facilities, unless specifically authorized to do so. Social media may be used only as a business practice and not for personal reasons during business hours.” Employees found in violation of the policy may be subject to disciplinary action, including termination. Mayor James Baker believes
social media is another way for the district to improve communications and awareness about district activities with residents. “With our news releases, we can make sure they go out through all of the ways we can,” he said. “This allows us to be more involved in communications.” Social media will be directed towards one specific demographic. “I hope our young people will get interested in local government through social media,” said Guenther.

Lumby’s mayor believes there are mixed messages over economic development. Kevin Acton says residents have told council that there is a need to create jobs in the community, but no one is willing to volunteer their time to develop a strategy. “At the no prison rally, we were told we’re not doing anything so we ran ads for an Kevin Acton economic development committee again but there is still little interest,” he said. “There’s not a big group of people to select from. We don’t want people there for their individual reasons. We want people with broad ideas for economic development for the entire community.” While some residents have suggested options beyond a prison exists, Acton is questioning those views. “It (debate) is not so much about a correctional facility,” he said. “It’s about change. If we picked up the Tolko mill in Armstrong and dropped it in Lumby, they
wouldn’t be happy either.” Despite a lack of volunteers to date, Acton insists council remains committed to an economic development committee and he believes residents need to be directly involved in creating career opportunities. “We don’t have the budget to hire an economic development officer and village staff are busy with other things,” he said. “I got nails at Voila”

Members of the Vernon Fire Department respond to a vehicle fire in the 4400 block of 27th Avenue Wednesday morning, managing to douse the engine compartment before the entire vehicle became engulfed.
Burn project begins
CASH FOR YOUR GOLD
Morning Star Staff
Restoration of a natural ecosystem near Lumby is underway. On Monday, the Ministry of Forests launched prescribed burns in the Woodward Creek and Satellite Hill areas. Weatherpermitting, the project will continue until May 6. “The reintroduction of managed, low-intensity ground fires to these grasslands and open forests is intended to restore and maintain traditional plant communities that are natural for these areas,” states a ministry release. The Woodward Creek area burn will cover an estimated 60 hectares, about 20 kilometres west of Lumby and north of Highway 6. The burn in the Satellite Hill area will cover an estimated 62 hectares, about six kilometres south of Lumby and south of Highway 6, in the Harris Creek area.

Spilled lumber jams highway Traffic was snarled along Highway 97A near Grindrod Tuesday afternoon after a semi pulling lumber lost control on a curve and spilled its load. Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP report that just before 2 p.m., a white Peterbilt heading north entered a sharp curve near Springbend Road, the driver lost control, swerved left and flipped into the ditch. There was no southbound traffic. “The driver said in his statement that he was talking on his Bluetooth (cell phone), entered the curve and didn’t slow down enough,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The driver, 59, from Spallumcheen, suffered minor injuries. He was charged under the Motor Vehicle Act with failing to keep right. Traffic on the highway was tied up for hours as the scene was cleared.

Snakes complete sweep for title Zalewski records OT winner to give Vipers third Fred Page Cup GRAEME CORBETT/KEVIN MITCHELL Morning Star Staff
They talk about their friend “Freddie” like he’s a long-lost acquaintance, and in many ways he is. He only shows up once a year, but when he does, Freddie is the life of the party, and the Vernon Vipers have been firmly entrenched in his inner social. The Vipers are of course referring to Fred Page, whom the B.C. Hockey League championship trophy is named after, and, after concluding a four-game sweep of the Powell River Kings Tuesday night, he will reside in Vernon for a third straight year. Not many people would have bet on the Snakes to sweep the Kings in a best-of-seven championship series. Even fewer would have picked them to come back from a three-goal deficit against the top defensive team in the BCHL. The Snakes accomplished both feats with a 5-4 overtime win in Game 4 at Wesbild Centre. Mike Zalewski, with his fifth post-season goal, scored eight minutes into OT, bringing nearly 2,500 fans to their feet in a deafening celebration. “I can’t really put it into words, it was pretty unbelievable,” said Zalewski, of the biggest goal in his career. “There was a lot of empty space in front and (Brett) Corkey got off a good shot and luckily it bounced right to me and I was just able to tuck it in.” Zalewski, known as Zee to his friends, added with a grin: “We’re really glad we don’t have to hop on the bus (for a Game 5 in Powell River) in the morning.” Down three goals early in the second period, captain David Robinson led the Viper rally with a pair of powerplay goals. The feisty winger buried the first one on a crisp three-way passing play between Adam Thompson and Stevie Weinstein. He got a stick on Weinstein’s shot from the sidewall to earn the second. “He threaded the needle to me and I was all alone in front and managed to get some good wood on it and put her five-hole,” said Robinson, of his first goal. “I’m not the fanciest player, so I’ve got to go to the net and get some greasy ones. It’s nice to get rewarded.” Back in September, Robinson had no idea what kind of season it would be. Even though a league title — David is always the goal, he was unsure a run at a third straight Fred Page Cup was realistic. “We lost so many guys and there were lots of question marks up in the air. From the start Mark (head coach Ferner) and Willy (assistant coach Jason Williamson) really preached, especially to myself, that we were going to be good again. “The strength of our team is our team.

Captain David Robinson hoists the Fred Page Cup following the Vernon Vipers’ four-game sweep of the Powell River Kings in the BCHL championship series Tuesday night at Wesbild Centre. Visit The Morning Star online at www.vernonmorningstar.com and click on the Vipers Central tab to view a slide show of Game 4 highlights and title celebration. We have so much depth at forward and I can’t say enough about our d-men; they battled so hard. “We’ve been a pretty resilient group all year long. Going down three against a team like that is definitely an uphill battle. We got the first one and the second shortly after that and it gave us a bit of confiRobinson dence.” Veteran Matt Garbowsky, who was held pointless until Game 4, got his team rolling 6:58 into the first period. After stripping Corkey of the puck to keep it in Vernon’s end, he capitalized on a quick shot from the slot, beating Kirby Halcrow blocker side. Daniel Schuler set up the Kings’ second goal 44 seconds into the second period after
“The strength of our team is our team.”
he chipped the puck past Thompson at the point to create an odd-man rush. He fed Andrew Pettitt, who used a great second effort to tuck the puck behind Halcrow. Schuler made it 3-0 on the very next shift as he barrelled up the left wing and shovelled a one-handed chip shot past Halcrow at 1:30. Pettitt, a 5-foot-11, 180-pound Whitehorse product, was ecstatic when he made the Kings as an 18-year-old. He, along with fiery captain Chad Niddery, suffered his third straight Fred Page Cup loss to the Vipers. “It’s not only just three times in a row to them, it’s three in a row,” he said. “Losing’s hard, it’s the one of the hardest things in the world to get over. It’s gonna sit forever.” Pettitt, who racked up 11 points in the post season, will still have fond memories of the BCHL. He is committed to the
University of Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves for next season. “Three in a row is quite something to put on the hockey resume. It would have been nice to have a championship at least one year. I gained a lot of experience and had a lot of fun times and overcame a lot of obstacles and what not.” He said the Kings’ coaching staff demands excellence every day. “Right from when I got here, Kent laid down the law and we followed. He’s a great coach. I’ve got nothing but good things to say about him. I’d do anything for him.” Goals by Kyle Murphy, collecting a nice chip feed from Weinstein (3A), and Dylan Walchuk, beating netminder Michael Garteig with a screen shot from the face-off dot, put Vernon ahead 4-3 going into the final frame. Walchuk leads the Vipers with 10 goals and five assists in 16 playoff games. Halcrow faced a post-season high 34 shots in Game 4 and was proud of how his team battled back. “We kind of slipped for a little bit, but we brought that urgency back to our game. It was nice to see the boys come back and bring the life back into us and suck the life out of them. It was a good win,” he said. “It (shots) kind of reminded me of the Quesnel days. I think the more shots I have the better I play, but even if I don’t have that many the mental game is still the same.” Garbowsky, with his second of the night, forced OT with five minutes remaining, putting a hush in the crowd, and in the Viper dressing room. Said Robinson: “It was definitely a lot more quiet in the dressing room between the third and overtime…but we believed in there and that’s all you have to do. You have to work hard and hopefully good things will happen.” Added Ferner: “Stuff like that can be a backbreaker, but our just guys just regrouped.” Ferner now has three BCHL titles in just four years as Vernon’s head coach. The Vipers are the first team to claim three straight since the Penticton Knights did it in 1980-82. “We talked about the fact that we’re twotime defending champions. We don’t want to be cocky, but there has to be a little bit of swagger to our game,” he said. “A very resilient group here and the credit has to be given to the players. They’ve taken direction all year long. Behind closed doors, there’s 23 guys that believe in what we do here and believe in one another. You don’t get this thing done unless you trust each other.” Even with a young roster, Ferner was confident his veterans would carry the message and lead by example. “It’s culture...and expectations. We knew coming into this year we wanted to have a younger group and be able to mould players the way we wanted them to be moulded. We knew we could do that with the players we had coming back and the success that they had.”

CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
Kings' captain Chad Niddery hammers away at a loose puck in front of Vipers' netminder Kirby Halcrow in Game 4 of the Fred Page Cup finals Tuesday night at Wesbild Centre.
Kings cope with loss Continued from A24 The Vipers await the winner of the AJHL Enerflex Cup series between the Spruce Grove Saints and Camrose Kodiaks. The Saints, rated No.1 in the CJHL rankings for most of the year, lead the best-of-seven series 3-1 heading into tonight’s Game 5. Ferner wasn’t quite ready to comment on the upcoming Doyle Cup regional series until he knows who Vernon will face. The series begins next Friday in Vernon. “We’re just happy that we’re going to play,” said Ferner. “I’m pretty confident in this group that pretty much anything is possible.” Niddery, who played his minor hockey in Penticton, closed out a stellar four-year career with the Kings. He led the Sunshine Coast crew with 10 playoff goals and when he wasn’t trying to convince Walchuk to fight, he was putting Robinson in a headlock, anything to help the Kings compete. “I never thought I’d even make Junior B. Grand Forks took a chance on me, Powell River took a chance on me and I’m just glad on how my career
went. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.” Niddery, a 5-foot-10, 165-pounder who never stops skating, lost his third straight Fred Page Cup series to the Snakes but showed grace in defeat. “This is the third time I’ve had to go through this. Nothing against them. They work hard and they get the job done and the times that we need the bounces, we don’t really get them. One day, this team and organization will get it and I wish them the best of luck.” Niddery and Kings’ towering d-man Justin Dasilva, who spent the last two seasons in Powell River, will play for the Ohio State Buckeyes next fall. Dasilva, a 6-foot-5, 215-pounder out of Cambridge, Ont., said the Kings certainly didn’t expect to be swept. He said Vernon’s championship moxy came into play. “You can’t really digest it right now,” said the softspoken giant. “In time, I’ll look back and say they were the best team. They did everything they could to win. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to digest it though.”

Winning a B.C. Hockey League Fred Page Cup is one thing. Winning one in front of friends and family is sublime. For six Vernon Vipers – Bryce Kakoske, Colton Sparrow, Trevor Fitzgerald, Max Mowat, Zach McPhee and captain David Robinson, all from Vernon – Tuesday night at Wesbild Centre will be hard to beat. For Robinson, whose family roots go back to the founding of the league, captaining the team to a third straight league title was a dream come true. “I was lucky enough for Mark (head coach Ferner) to give me the ‘C’ this year and to captain a group like that is pretty special. “We’re a tight-knit group and it’s kind of a cherry on top to captain a group to a league championship, especially in my hometown for a team I grew up watching. I’m trying to create my own memories playing for them.” Most players would agree having a home crowd is huge, but Robinson says when that crowd contains friends and family members, it drives him to play that much harder. “Both nights (Games 3 and 4) here we had great crowds and I’m sure they’re excited. It’s
so much easier playing with a crowd like that, especially for me. I was probably playing in front of 40 or 50 friends and family tonight, so it’s special for me.” Added Fitzgerald: “Unbelievable feeling lifting Freddie there. Skating around and looking up I see tons of people I know from school. My best friends are up there and it’s awesome having them here cheering for you.” McPhee has been in and out of the Viper lineup throughout the season, but he was effective playing on an energy line with Fitzgerald and Aaron Hadley in the Fred Page final.

Using his 6-foot-3, 190pound frame, he dished out some punishing hits and created havoc in Powell River’s zone. “You have to pay your dues. Obviously, we have a great team this year and every time I got out there I tried to take every opportunity that I could,” said the 18-year-old McPhee. “We just chipped away and tried to get pucks deep and play a hard-nosed game. It was a great effort by everybody. “It’s a great feeling. Growing up we idolized this team and wanted to be like them. It’s the best thing that has happened to me hockey-wise.”

Lewis class in defeat Continued from A25 Dasilva, who said he learned to play a relentless style with fire and edge in the BCHL, was recruited by the Kings after two seasons with the Junior A Brampton Capitals. “I’m very proud to be a Powell River King and I always will be. These are my brothers for life. Best decision of my life to come out here.” Lewis, showing at least three days of beard growth, was naturally frustrated in yet another championship loss. “This was the strangest of them,” said Lewis, 44, and on his third tour in his hometown, where he works at Hap Parker Arena. “In a nutshell, Game 1, we were bad. Game 2, I thought we were good. Game 3, I thought we were good. Tonight, not in the cards. We just didn’t have the composure in the second period with the lead and just didn’t play our hockey, and usually we’re very good at that. “Hats off to Mark and his crew. They find ways to win and that’s what’s important. They did it and a sweep’s a sweep. It was a good battle. It’s a lousy way to end a great year. We had a good group of kids, I’m proud of them. They were very committed and we stuck with this group from camp through the deadline.” Lewis, who was a hard-nosed winger with the WHL Victoria Cougars and BCJHL Nanaimo Clippers back in the day, rejoined the Kings six years ago with the team in turmoil. “I wanted to get this franchise to being respectable, but it’s getting to the point where we want to win a league title,” he said. “At the end of the day, it’s doing the best that you can and we just didn’t do a good enough job. We’re having a hard time keepin ‘em out which we’ve been great at all year, and we had a hard time scoring five on five until today. We scored one five-on-five goal through three games. You can’t win a league final doing that. That’s ridiculous.” He’s stoked about the legacy the Kings have built under his tutelage. “That torch gets passed to a really good returning group again. We’re very proud of the franchise, we’re very proud of how hard we work and how we’re run. We’ll be hard at it again.”

The Vernon Vipers celebrate their third straight Fred Page Cup title after a four-game sweep of the Powell River Kings Tuesday night at Wesbild Centre.
Saints look to book Doyle rematch Morning Star Staff
The Spruce Grove Saints take a 3-1 lead into the Alberta Junior Hockey League Enerflex Cup final series tonight at Grant Fuhr Arena against the visiting Camrose Kodiaks. The Saints have eight players back from last year’s team which bowed in a seven-game Doyle Cup series to the BCHL champion Vernon Vipers. Ranked No. 1 in the country after a superb 52-4-1-3 regular season, the Saints have lost just once in the playoffs. Winger Tim Nolte scored twice as the Saints erased a 3-1 deficit and clipped Camrose 5-4 before 1,922 fans Tuesday night at the Edgeworth Centre. Michael Claffey, Dylan Richard and Josh Koper also supplied goals for Spruce Grove, while Tyler Jewitt, Craig Bokenfohr, Brooks Myers and Sam Jardine replied for the Kodiaks. Camrose hosts the Royal Bank Cup, April 30-May 10, so get in the nationals win or lose in the Enerflex Cup. If the Kodiaks rally to take the AJHL title, the Vipers would receive an automatic
entry into the RBC. The Doyle Cup regional series starts next Friday at Wesbild Centre. Game 2 also goes Saturday in Vernon. If one team sweeps the games, the rest of the series will be played in Alberta. If the teams split the opening games, Game 3 goes in Vernon. The Saints’ top point-getter this year in the regular season was 20-year-old defenceman FelixAntoine Poulin, with 27-34-61. Koper, who had nine goals last year, was second with 30-27-57. Former Viper Brett Switzer, who was injured in the Doyle Cup last year, racked up 25-26-52 to sit fourth in Saints’ scoring this year. Switzer, who was obtained in a three-way deal which brought Bryce Kakoske to the Snakes three years ago, is committed to the NCAA Bentley Falcons in Watertown, Mass. for next season. All-star goalie Vincenzo Marozzi, 21, is among the Saints’ returnees. He was 33-5-4 with a 1.65 GAA. The Saints allowed a league-best 99 goals against while averaging 4.2 goals a game, also tops.

Cutler is set to face the very man he won the title from two weeks prior, (Top Drawer) Michael More. Both men have a history of wild matches and this re-match promises to be just that,” said promoter Nick Szalanski. “Collin Cutler, with his fast-paced, high-flying, deathdefying style, versus Michael More’s smash-mouth arsenal of high- impact suplexes and routine rule-breaking makes for a intense main event.” More will also be busy earlier in the evening with special guests on his in-ring talk show with Mortusha and Bad Bad Lexi Brown of Lumby’s Redneck Daisies Roller Derby team. The girls will be there to discuss their upcoming bouts and the world of roller derby.

The Fulton Maroons opened the Okanagan Valley Senior AA Boys Rugby Union season Tuesday with a 33-5 win over the Kelowna Christian Knights at Grahame Park. Winger Kris Davidson supplied a pair of tries, while Dalton Anderson scored once and booted three converts for the Maroons. Daniel Ferreira and Mike Tkatschow also provided tries. Ferreira, a flanker, opened the offence after some great rucking and driving by the forwards, and a quick ball by scrum-half Nick Pantaleo. Anderson, a centre, then scampered in from 15 metres, breaking a few tackles to make it 12-0. Some good second-phase ball by prop Tkatschow and backrow Greg Hyde set up Davidson for his first try. His second score came after he evaded several tackles for a 40-metre drive, which he capped by taking the ball off the side of a ruck and touching down

Defence on the offence Editor’s note: part three in the Justice Denied series of articles. JEFF NAGEL Black Press
Only a sucker would pay their speeding ticket without a fight now. That’s the street wisdom circulating on web discussion forums where motorcycle and car enthusiasts trade tips on how to beat their traffic violation tickets in B.C.’s congested courts. They point to the case of Michael Podger. The Kelowna heavy equipment salesman was ticketed by police in November 2007 for making an illegal lane change without signalling. He disputed the ticket, but delays in the court system dragged the case until January of 2009, when Podger – representing himself – successfully persuaded a judge to toss out his ticket on the grounds that his right to justice within a reasonable time had been violated. Since then others – often repeat speeders – have been boning up on constitutional law to challenge their own tickets. If it takes longer than 10 months for their ticket dispute to be heard, they can make a strong case for a judicial stay of proceedings, citing Podger’s case and other rulings as precedent. It’s not necessarily a slam dunk. Challengers have to prove they were ready to proceed on each appearance date – in other
words it was the system, not their own foot-dragging, to blame for the delay. They also have to show they suffered prejudice from the delay. The judge in Podger’s case agreed he experienced stress and was deprived of three days of pay when he took time off work to prepare his case and attend court. Podger was reluctant to be interviewed by Black Press, but said he’s used the delay argument several times to persuade authorities to cancel his traffic tickets. He’s also coached more than a dozen other motorists on how to use the case law. “Most of the time it gets stayed,” Podger said. “I’m the only one that’s had to go fight it that I know of.” Surrey lawyer Daryl Brown, who gave him some advice, said Podger is far from the only driver beating tickets on the basis of unacceptable delays. “More people are becoming aware of the ability to make these arguments,” he said. “You’ve got guys who aren’t first-timers,” Brown added. “They’ve got a few tickets. And they’re looking at losing their licence if they get any more.” sss The jam up of traffic tickets is just one more symptom of a court system in crisis in B.C. By 2010, an immense backlog of 58,000 disputed traffic tickets had built up.

News Backlog drives catch-22 Continued from A29 But ICBC statistics show the number of traffic tickets being disputed has steadily crept up – from about 11 per cent up until 2007 to 15 per cent in 2010. More than 75,000 violations were disputed last year – 20 per cent more than five years earlier. They add to the pressure on traffic courts, where Justices of the Peace (JPs) hear most challenges, and also to a lesser degree to the caseload of regular provincial court judges, who must hear any challenges based on delay because JPs can’t rule on constitutional matters. “The ministry is aware of the backlog and is considering its options for ways to reduce it,” said attorney general ministry spokesperson Linda Mueller. More staff to enter tickets and schedule hearings would help, she said, but staffing priority goes to the areas of greatest need – criminal cases and serious civil or family law cases. ICBC officials note more than 60 per cent of tickets disputed are upheld in court, although that’s down from 68 per cent found guilty five years ago. And when ticket challengers win, B.C. municipalities lose out. Cities get $63 million a year in traffic fine revenues shared by the province to help with policing costs. Surrey alone receives $5.9 million annually. sss It’s not just traffic ticket dodgers who might otherwise take their lumps and pay up who are emboldened by
delays in the system. Accused criminals and the defence lawyers who represent them increasingly see a good chance to quash cases based on delay, particularly when they see their trial date set 16-plus months away and stacked with multiple other trials on the same day. There’s less incentive to plead guilty – even when the case against the accused looks airtight – or accept an early plea bargain offer from Crown unless it’s attractive. The Justice Delayed report warned the growing case backlog and lengthening delays mean defence lawyers are more motivated to proceed to trial because of the potential for charges to get thrown out over delay and, if the case does go to trial, it becomes harder to prove older allegations as witnesses become harder to round up or their memories fade. “The best defence here is to set the thing for trial,” said Samiran Lakshman, president of the B.C. Crown Counsel Association. “Why would you plead guilty in that environment? That same type of analysis and advice is being provided across the province.” Fewer cases being resolved early mean even more pressure is piled on a system already creaking under intense backlogs. “It’s a bit of a catch-22 for the system,” Surrey defence lawyer Marvin Stern said. “The system starts using its resources in hearing these delay applications.” Stern said delays have worsened over the past year. He sometimes shows up to court in Surrey to
find his client is one of four trials slated to go ahead in the same courtroom that day. Prosecutors then must decide which trial will proceed and adjourn the rest. That can mean another trial date – sometimes the third one to be set – 20 months or more after charges were laid, a time period that provides strong grounds for dismissal. To avoid that outcome, prosecutors may offer a better plea bargain. Stern gives the example of someone charged with impaired driving and driving with a blood-alcohol level over 0.08 where another trial date adjournment will mean the case will almost certainly be tossed. “They may accept a plea bargain to a charge under the Motor Vehicle Act of driving without due care and attention,” he said. The driver pays a $368 fine and gets six penalty points but avoids a possible jail term, a criminal record, a oneyear driving prohibition, mandatory safe driving course and required use of an ignition interlock system. “It’s a huge advantage to the client,” Stern said. “When the courts are overbooked, Crown are more likely to do that.” Paul Pearson, a criminal defence lawyer in Victoria and local spokesman for the Canadian Bar Association, said long delays harden the defence bargaining stance.

But he rejects suggestions defence lawyers and accused criminals are rubbing their hands in glee over court delays and how they can exploit long waits. “Most people charged with criminal offences stress about that every single day,” Pearson said. “It’s by far the worst thing going on in their life. And they want an answer – yes or no, guilty or not guilty – sooner rather than later.” Lawyers usually aren’t paid more money when they have to make many court appearances, he said, and they must be ready for trial on repeated occasions. “The thousands of people waiting for their trials are agonizing, losing sleep, literally having nightmares every night about the process,” Pearson said. “They don’t make the news.

Victims seek aid only to be consumed by legal maze SHEILA REYNOLDS Morning Star Staff
A middle-aged woman finds herself in the midst of a bitter fight for spousal support she never anticipated. She can’t afford a lawyer, and turns to legal aid for assistance. A victim of abuse, her situation is complex, but not as difficult as the legal maze that has now consumed her life. She’s found that people she thought she could count on to help simply can’t, because of a lack of funding and resources. “It’s systemic discrimination” against those unable to fund their own justice, she says, adding most in her situation simply abandon the process because it’s so damaging. Between 2002 and 2005, government funding to Legal Services Society of B.C. (LSS) – the provider of legal aid – was cut by 40 per cent and 85 of the legal aid offices in B.C. were closed. Between April 1, 2009 and March 26, 2010, the society saw funding cuts to family law, including dispute resolution and category one criminal law – offences such as breach of probation or failure to appear. Immigration and refugee law services were also cut. Some services have since been restored. Five LSS regional offices, including the one in Surrey, were closed last spring but were replaced with local agents – private lawyers on contract with the society. And LAWLine, the LSS’s telephone legal advice service, was replaced with
“It is an absolutely essential social service.” — Leonard Doust an expanded, provincewide call centre. But many feel access to legal aid remains insufficient. Statistics show that in Surrey alone, just over half of the applications for legal representation for family matters were approved in the past year, while about 60 per cent of immigration applications got the go-ahead. Legal aid for criminal and child protection issues fared better, but applications were still denied for nearly a quarter of the cases. Veteran lawyer Leonard Doust says legal aid should be treated as an essential service. Doust, leading the Public Commission on Legal Aid – an independent group representing six legal bodies – headed a recent inquiry into legal aid in B.C. His resulting report, Foundations for Change, released in early March, summarizes that “the overwhelming majority of submissions spoke to the general failure of our legal aid system, the negative repercussions for needy individuals and families, and the consequent adverse impact on our communities and justice system.” The report suggests federal and provincial funding cuts have left the system unable to meet basic needs and that it’s the working poor and marginalized people who suffer most.
“It is an absolutely essential social service,” Doust said. “Without it, people can be, and indeed they are... deprived of the other essential services in our province, particularly social welfare. It’s like the four-legged chair missing one leg: It falls.”
In addition to making legal aid an essential service, Doust laid out eight other recommendations, which included re-establishing regional aid offices, making more people eligible and giving legal aid workers better pay and support.
The legal aid system in B.C. has changed dramatically since its introduction in 1979. While the direction at that time was that legal aid representation had to be provided to those who couldn’t afford it for some areas of law, the rules were changed in 2001 and legal aid is no longer mandatory. sss For the most part, the Legal Services Society agrees with Doust’s
findings, endorsing the notion that legal aid should be recognized as an essential public
service and that significantly more funding is needed.

Continued from A31 But the chair of the society also believes a fundamental shift is necessary in the way legal aid â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and those using â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is viewed. Access to justice is often examined from the perspective of judges and lawyers, says Mayland McKimm, but when seen from the perspective of those caught up in the system â&#x20AC;&#x201C; often against their will â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the view is much different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is essential that we look at the justice system from the bottom up, not the top down, in order to understand its relevance to the resolution of legal problems that people face in their lives,â&#x20AC;? the longtime family and criminal lawyer told members of the Law Society of B.C. in early March. What judges and lawyers say is not necessarily what the average resident and those â&#x20AC;&#x153;ensnaredâ&#x20AC;? in the system want to hear, he said. He said in consultations with more than 100 people, it was found many legal aid users had more immediate and basic hurdles to get past â&#x20AC;&#x201C; child care, poverty and transportation issues â&#x20AC;&#x201C; before they could begin to worry about getting a lawyer. For many, especially in remote communities, the biggest barrier to justice is just being able to get to the courthouse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What does it matter if there are more lawyers, or that they all agree to slash their fees, if a single mother looking for child support has no one to look after her kids while sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in court?â&#x20AC;? he asked, suggesting improving accessibility â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like having more flexible court schedules or daycares in the courthouse â&#x20AC;&#x201C; would go a long way to improving the legal aid system.

This, he said, could perhaps be achieved by integrating legal services with trusted social services â&#x20AC;&#x201C; instead of sending people to lawyers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were told more than once that arming the travelling community health nurse, the local social worker, or an aboriginal elder with information about child protection law or welfare rights â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a list of who to contact for help â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was more important than having a lawyer available,â&#x20AC;? said McKimm. Financially, he said, LSS is working on reducing the cost of large criminal cases so that more resources are available for access to justice initiatives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can lessen the resources â&#x20AC;&#x201C; financial and judicial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that the guns-and-gangs cases eat up, there may well be more resources available for access to justice initiatives and legal aid,â&#x20AC;? said McKimm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day, what people really want from their justice system is resolution of their problems so they can get on with their lives.â&#x20AC;?

,INES ARE DRAWN ON A CANVAS CALLED Art Play paints a poignant and funny picture about friendship and the subjectiveness of art KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
4HERE S A SCENE IN A POPULAR CHILDREN S book, where the young porcine protagonist VISITS AN ART MUSEUM 4HERE SHE OBSERVES A paint-splattered canvas by American abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock, and claims â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could do that in about five minutes.â&#x20AC;? And when she gets home, she tries. In its succinct, childlike way, the scene tells how many people feel about art, in that it is subjective to the eye of the beholder. What is art to some, and fodder to others, is the main premise of a play that takes the stage in Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elks Hall next weekend. Written in 1994 by French playwright Yasmina Reza, the aptly titled Art asks the question: what makes a painting worthy of the term art? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art is the star of the show. However, the play is also about love, loyalty and friendship, and the silly things we say to our friends that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say to a stranger,â&#x20AC;? said Jason Mynett, who studied theatre in his native England, AND WORKED AT 6ANCOUVER S !RTS #LUB 4HEATRE before moving to Kelowna then Vernon. Art is a modern story, told in one act, through dialogue and monologue, which should appeal to the young adult-set on up, adds the producer, director and set builder, who acts as one of the three main characters in the local production, along with Shawn Reed and Clive Goodrich. Art, which Mynett says will have audiences laughing and pondering their own friendships and choices, centers around the relationship between three males in their 40s. h4HE PLAY IS ONE BIG CONVERSATION AND the audience gets to be a part of it,â&#x20AC;? said Goodrich, who has previously acted both in 0OWERHOUSE AND "ACKSTAGE 4HEATRE PRODUC-
word, imitates Art. h4HE WHOLE STORY CAME ABOUT AT A PARTY where (Reza) was wearing some costume jewelry. She asked her friend Serge what he thought about the jewelry, and he said he thought it was dreadful. Basically, he hated it. She told him that she no longer wanted to be his friend.â&#x20AC;? Reza originally wrote Art to get over the death of her father, added Mynett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She wrote the play in six weeks and once it was written and published, she was quoted as saying that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;it was not worthy of me or him,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said. Her tune soon changed. After the play was translated in English by writer Christopher Hampton, Art appeared on stage in Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s West End in 1996. Co-produced by legendary Scottish actor Sean Connery and David Pugh, and starring Albert Finney, Art received rave reviews and was billed as â&#x20AC;&#x153;...chic, short and wickedly funny,â&#x20AC;? by The London Evening Standard. It would go on to win the 1997 Laurence Olivier Award for best comedy, and the 1998 4ONY !WARD FOR BEST PLAY )T HAS SINCE BEEN translated into 35 different languages. Mynett, Reed and Goodrich have been busy promoting the show for its Vernon debut, more recently by posing for some photos to show in a slide show as a preview to the curtain rising. (Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just say it features the three French characters on holiday in B.C., visiting some local establishments.)

-ORE ARTS AND CULTURE TAKE CENTRE STAGE NEXT WEEK
Morning Star Staff
From making monoprints at the Vernon Public Art Gallery to a concert by an Armstrong-raised, and widely-known jazz vocalist, citizens and students across B.C. are getting involved in arts activities that connect them with their local communities.
Now entering its 12th year, Arts and Culture Week in B.C., which starts Sunday and continues all next week, highlights the vital contribution that arts and culture make in learning and in life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Arts and cultural activities are at the heart of communities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they
make communities more attractive places to live, they help bring a community to life, they define a communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique characteristics, they attract tourists and they help communities compete economically around the world,â&#x20AC;? reads a quote from the Canada Council for the Arts.
Hundreds of arts councils and schools across B.C. will be participating in the week-long celebration of the arts. Each year, more than 20,000 artists, young people, educators and community members host and participate in performances, art walks, exhibitions, workshops,
and public art projects. Here in the North Okanagan, a number of activities are planned that will highlight the week: s 4HE 6ERNON 0UBLIC !RT 'ALLERY will host a hands-on art making session, with a monoprint workshop April 16 from 1 to 3 p.m.

written about at all. That’s why I started to write the historical material. That led me to writing my own personal narratives as well.” Possessed of an insatiable appetite for finding the next unique story line, Keelaghan is said to forge his pieces with brilliant craftsmanship and monogrammed artistic vision, making him one of the most distinctive and readily identifiable voices on both the Canadian and international singer-songwriter scenes. His 11th CD, House of Cards, released in 2009 by Borealis Records, contains 10 new originals, some of them co-writes with such folk luminaries as David Francey, Karine Polwart and Rose Cousins. For his Armstrong performance, Keelaghan will be accompanied by bass player David Woodhead, who has performed with Stan Rogers, Loreena McKennit, and Donne Roberts. Keelaghan will be at the Armstrong Inn at 9 p.m. April 15. Tickets are available at the inn’s liquor store, or call 250-546-3056.

Rolling Stone Magazine music critic and historian Dave Marsh has called him “Canada’s finest singer songwriter,” and now Armstrong and area is about to find out why. Award winning singer-songwriter James Keelaghan brings his vast songbook to the Armstrong Inn April 15. Keelaghan’s masterful story telling has, over the course of nine recordings, been part of the bedrock of his success, earning him nominations and awards, including a Juno, and acclaim from Australia to Scandinavia. His love of language and history, the latter subject in which he earned a degree, as well as his skill as an actor, has helped him make an immediate connection with a live audience. And he has an ear for memorable melodies and harmonies that make those melodies glisten. “I’ve always had the urge to write,” says the Calgary native who now lives in Winnipeg. “Some things weren’t being said in the way I wanted to say them; some things were not being

Dancing to Vivaldi and friends
N
o one actually got up and danced, but there was a great deal of toetapping at last Sunday’s Okanagan Symphony concert at the Performing Arts Centre. Nineteen-year-old Pascal Piché, who has played viola with the OSO for two years, introduced the evening of music from 16th century Europe to 21st century Cape Breton. As he mentioned his imminent 20th birthday, fellow musicians struck up “that song” in the wings. Unperturbed, Piché proceeded Christine Pilgrim with youthful ebullience and charm to welcome the rest of the depleted orchestra on stage. Apart from a handsome harpsichord, crisply played by Susan Adams, the strings were the only instruments present. Violinists and viola players stood, minstrel-style, for the first set of eight songs, led by renowned fiddler and master of baroque, David Greenberg. His arrangements of The Lads of Leith by 18th century Scots composer James Oswald, alongside the hornpipes of 17th century English composer Henry Purcell, mingled Highland mists with English airs. And Greenberg’s lively expressive playing and relaxed approach set the tone for a slightly more casual OSO event than usual. “It’s nice to let your hair down sometimes,” laughed artistic director Rosemary Thomson, as she tossed her own flowing mane. Her programs often include a Canadian composer. Although he was born in Italy and moved here when he

As she raised her baton to conduct his Postcards from the Sky, she suggested we imagine ourselves lying on our backs, looking up at the unfolding sky and weeping clouds. We did that, and Audrey King’s evocative cello solo transported us heavenwards. But Antonio Vivaldi’s Concerto in B Minor for four violins was the highlight of the evening –– not only for its joyful rush and tumble of notes, but also the three young sirens ★

who joined Greenberg to play them. Armstrong’s Alicia and Colleen Venables and Kelowna’s Rebecca Ruthven played splendidly. One female audience member was heard to say, “It’s unfair that such talent and beauty should be combined in one package.” Vivaldi was often referred to as Il Prete Rosso (The Red Priest) because of his shock of red hair and the fact that he was a priest, as well as virtuoso violinist and composer. The Concerto in B Minor is the 10th of the 12 concerti he wrote in L’Estro Armonico, Opus 31, known also as concerti grossi. Greenberg’s violin almost breathed during the collection of dances by more Italian composers, Giovanni Gabrieli, Claudio Monteverdi and Tarquino Merula. He explained the difference in sound between a baroque violin and a modern one, and gave a brief lesson in baroque bowing. During the pieces he sidled over to the harpsichord and cello to play delightful duets with each. More Scottish airs, minuets, gavottes and reels flowed seamlessly from the pen of Robert Mackintosh and the strings of Greenberg and the orchestra, although there were times when it seemed they were playing musical chairs. The evening drew to a satisfying close with another Greenberg arrangement, followed by Vivaldi’s Sinfonia al Santo Sepulcro and Rebel’s Les Caracteres de la Danse, which included no less than 11 different dances, segueing from one to another at break-neck speed. It drew a cry of “Encore!” and when Greenberg obliged, I yearned for the rest of “the band” to break into that dance we were promised.

STORK REPORT
CARA BRADY/MORNING STAR
Meet Esther the Tooth Fairy (left) and Dominique Berard, president of the Community Dental Access (North Okanagan) Society, at the Smile Saver Support Rally April 14 at noon at Cenotaph Park in Vernon. April is Dental Health Month.
A rally to save smiles CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
The Smile Saver Support Rally is a chance for everyone to show that the community wants the centre whether they will personally use it or not. “We want people to be aware of the need in the community. We don’t want people walking around in pain and poor health because of lack of dental care, which is what is happening now. The Downtown Primary Care Centre gets up to three calls a day from low-income people who need help,” said Laine Lowe, community dental hygienist and past member of the Community Dental Access Committee. In the next step towards opening a dental centre for low-income people of all ages, the committee has now become The Community Dental Access (North Okanagan) Society, with president Dominique Berard and a board of directors. A downtown site has been secured and renovations can begin once the society has raised the necessary funds. “Our renovation and capital equipment budget is $390,000 and all we need to raise now is $70,000 in cash donations,”
said Lesly McMillan, project co-manager with Chris Turner. “We have 90 per cent of the equipment and the blueprints for the renovations. We received less grants than we had hoped, so we have to do some more fundraising. We’re so close. “There has been an increase in awareness of the lack of dental care and we want people out to the Smile Saver Support Rally to show there is a need.” She cited Health Canada Statistics that show that 47 per cent of low-income Canadians have an unmet dental health need as compared to 26 per cent of the high income group. In 2008, 16,990 adults in the North Okanagan filed a tax return indicating a total income of less than $15,000 per year; in September 2009, 4.8 per cent of North Okanagan residents were unemployed compared to 3.0 per cent of B.C. residents as a whole. Low-income Canadians do without dental care because of the cost, which leaves them more likely to have dental problems and poor oral health which increases the risk of having heart disease, stroke and respiratory diseases. Dental decay is the most prevalent chronic dis-

ease in children, five times more prevalent than asthma and seven times more prevalent than hay fever. “If we could open the Community Dental Access Centre tomorrow, we would save the health care system money,” said McMillan. “The centre will see only lowincome people at a reduced cost and no one will be turned away. The centre will also provide preventive care for people of all ages.” She added that dental cleanings help people with diabetes control their conditions by controlling gum disease. The centre will also offer smoking cessation programs, as tobacco use has a huge impact on oral health. Organizers of the Smile Saver Support Rally invite everyone to drop by April 14 at noon at Cenotaph Park. There will be a chance to meet the Tooth Fairy, learn more about the Community Dental Access Centre, enter a draw for a deluxe rechargable electric toothbrush, put names on a waiting list for the centre when it opens, and/or make donations of any amount. For more information or to make a donation call McMillan at 250-308-7163.

Imitation masks insecurity

ear Annie: I’ve been close friends with “Lucy” since high school. In the past few years, I’ve noticed that she is imitating everything I do, and I mean everything. I recently dyed my hair red, and she did the same, even using the same stylist. She bought the same carpet, painted her house the same color as ours and last year acquired the same breed of dog. She buys her grandkids the same gifts we buy ours. I just purchased a jacket, and when Lucy saw it, she bought the same one and flipped out because she could not get it in the same color. I know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but this is scary. It’s as if Lucy is trying to live my life. Last week, I bought a set of new sheets. Lucy stopped by as I was making the bed and asked her usual questions — where did I buy them, how much did they cost, etc. But then she asked what my husband was like in bed. She confided

gift was acknowledged. Most etiquette rules were formed prior to the invention of electronic mail. What is the real difference between an e-mail and a hastily hand-scratched note? — B.S.C. Dear B.S.C.: Handwritten notes are considered more personal and show greater effort. E-mail thankyou notes are perfectly fine for those who are more casual and don’t mind receiving thanks in this manner. However, unless you are still a child, no one should be chastising you. You have difficult relatives, dear. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Burning Up in Vermont” and laughed out loud when you said, “And now he can take the bus.” Vermont is a very rural state. The likelihood of bus service where this person lives is remote to none. You should have suggested he carpool with someone he works with, although that might be equally difficult. — B.B.
For the record
An article on the Haberstock family in the April 1 edition of The Morning Star contained an error. Joel Haberstock was full-time director of Youth and Family Ministries at St. John’s Lutheran Church. After 13 years with the church, he left to work with the people of Thailand. “We thank Peggy Friesen for the wellwritten article about the Haberstocks,” said Pastor Roy White.
Dear B.B.: We admit we are not familiar with rural Vermont, and it’s possible “Burning” lives in an area where there is no bus service. In which case, we hope carpooling is a feasible alternative.

Selah: (3x in Psa. 3, a Psalm of David): to watch, to be on guard, to avoid. Occurs 70x in the Book of Psalms. (70: in Bible Numerology signiÀes perfect spiritual order). SELAH means the suspension of music. The Psalms were instrumental music, by implication a poem set to music. SELAH teaches us in oral Bible reading to stop, pause for a moment and consider. It is not spoken. SELAH is the connecting of two subjects together. It is derived from salah: to pause.

Life Losing a child is one of life’s biggest tragedies Editor’s note: The following is from The Compassionate Friends, a support group for bereaved parents. Sooner or later, it comes to nearly all of us. Somewhere between birth and death, we will have to say a final goodbye to someone who is at the centre of our world. But losing a child — that’s never something we, as parents, are expected to deal with, we are not programmed to deal with our child’s death. The feeling of loss cuts deep; we bring children into the world with great hopes for their future — all that promise, all those hopes, all those possibilities disappear in an instant. As a newly bereaved parent you have been thrust into an experience that is different beyond your wildest expectations. From a comparatively comfortable existence you are thrown into a pit of the most devastating and debilitating pain that anyone will ever know. No one gets “used” to grief, it is like a wound and it leaves a scar. It does get better, even if time doesn’t heal all wounds completely, but life will never be the same. People have to find a new normal, where they can balance life and still remember the person who has died. When you are grieving there is a strong feeling to want to be alone. This may even
mean that you do not want to be around other close family members or friends. As time passes, it is important to reach out to those who are close to share stories or plans for the future you had about the child who has died. This becomes part of your healing process. Feelings of unreality, sleeplessness, loss of appetite, general apathy, guilt, hostility and idealization of the dead child are all normal feelings. Many of us who have been bereaved for a year or longer have experienced these feelings‚ and have found ways to protect ourselves and to survive. One parent sums it up this way, “Often there is a certain amount of guilt involved, whether real or imagined. People need to realize that other parents have these feelings and they are not alone with them. There is something about knowing that someone else has had those feelings and fears: because at times you begin to wonder if there is something wrong with you. I think that no matter how much loving family support, how many friends you have, what your religious beliefs are, or anything else , there are times when it is not enough...it’s very important and beneficial to talk to someone who has been there.” If you are a newly bereaved parent you may find support and friendship through
The Compassionate Friends, a self-help group for parents who have experienced the death of a child. Within this group, as parents we all share the common knowledge of the agony that comes with the death of a child, regardless of the child’s age or cause of death. If you are further along on your grief journey you may find it helpful to become active in The Compassionate Friends organization by giving back. One of the best ways to receive continuing support through the bereavement process is to help other families just starting on their grief journey. The Compassionate Friends of Vernon has compiled a bereavement package designed to offer comfort and guidance as you begin to grieve the loss of your precious child. If you, or someone you know, would like a bereavement package mailed to you, please contact Darlene at 250-5585026 in Vernon. Our meetings start at 7 p.m. on the last Thursday of each month in the People Place. If you would like to contact us, at any time, our e-mail address is Vernon@ TCFCanada.net. The Internet link to TCF Canada is www.tcfcanada.net. For further information please contact Darlene at 250-558-5026 or Natalie at 250-558-7605.

News RCMP track thieves
JEFF NAGEL Black Press
Police are rolling out new bait trailers equipped with hidden GPS beacons so officers can track and bust thieves who steal them. The new tactic aims to cut down the theft of more than 500 trailers stolen in B.C. each year. That theft rate has held steady,
while the successful bait car program is credited with helping dramatically chop auto theft rates by 65 per cent since 2003. The number of vehicles stolen last year fell 22 per cent from 2009. Thefts from within vehicles dropped 15 per cent. “A host of different types of trailers are now armed with hidden GPS tech-
nology and will be planted throughout British Columbia just waiting to be stolen,” said Sgt. Gord Elias of the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT). “They will look just like any other trailer and will come in many makes, models, sizes and colours,” he said. “We’re going to move them around and change them up wherever they’re
needed.” Elias said stolen trailers, which can range from cargo or utility trailers to recreational ones, are often sold privately through ads and via websites. Manufactured trailers must have a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), Elias said, and any buyer who encounters a trailer without one and suspects it’s stolen should contact police.

News Campaign falls short of making recall history against MLA the signatures to Elections B.C. in Victoria to verify the results, citing the expense to get the petition to the province’s capital and the cost to taxpayers to have officials process it. He said since the recall failed, the process to him seemed “redundant.”

Play for entertainment, not to make money
We’d like to introduce you to
A team of responsible gambling specialists at BCLC has developed an innovative approach to responsible gambling – one that’s designed to speak frankly to players about the risks associated with gambling.
Balance gambling with other types of leisure activities
Providing helpful information and dispelling common myths in an approachable, accessible manner, GameSense focuses on informed player choice, so our customers have the information they need to make healthy decisions should they choose to gamble.
Don’t chase losses, accept them as the cost of entertainment
Promoting Responsible Gambling, Helping Problem Gamblers To date, more than 13,000 gaming industry workers have completed ART training.
Using your
Training and Research
GameSense information is available at all 4,044 lottery retail outlets and at the interactive GameSense Information Centres found in every casino and community gaming facility in the province.
Appropriate Response Training (ART) is mandatory for all gaming staff and workers who interact with players. ART enhances the knowledge and awareness of gaming venue staff so they can respond meaningfully and without judgment to players requiring assistance.
Players can access GameSense information on their own, or they can speak to one of 31 full-time, friendly and knowledgeable GameSense Advisors (GSAs), who can provide information about the games, odds of winning and losing, randomness and house advantage, the risks associated with gambling, and details about the problem gambling support services that are available. For more information, visit
Last year, GameSense Advisors had over 34,000 conversations with players about available resources and how to keep gambling fun.
What are the odds?
BCLC also funds research to improve its responsible gambling programming, and to identify and implement best practices from across Canada and around the world. For example, BCLC has conducted research with parents to assist in developing GameSense for Parents. This program aims to create awareness of youth gambling issues and give parents the tools and support to start a conversation with kids about the risks of gambling. BCLC also offers BetStopper content blocking software to help prevent children and youth from accessing online gambling websites absolutely free of charge.

“I’ve had players come back and thank me for helping them to change the way they gamble – like setting a budget and sticking to it.” Noel, GameSense Advisor
Award–Winning
94% of VSE participants say they would recommend it to others, and 82% believe it helped them to stop gambling.
GameSense has not only struck a chord with players, it has the gambling industry taking notice.
Voluntary Self-Exclusion (VSE)
In 2009, our GameSense programs helped BCLC to earn the highest possible (Level 4) responsible gambling certification by the World Lottery Association (WLA), which maintains the only international responsible gambling framework in existence. BCLC was the third jurisdiction in North America, and thirteenth in the world, to receive this distinction.
The VSE program can be an important first step in helping a player regain control of their choices. It enables a person to voluntarily take a break from gambling.
In 2010, of the 140 WLA member states and provinces in more than 70 countries, BCLC was recognized as ‘the best of the best’, earning the WLA’s “Best Overall Responsible Gaming Program” award.
To help support their VSE choice, BCLC has introduced license plate recognition technologies at all of its casinos and has been experimenting with facial recognition technology since 2006.
BCLC also earned praise for a series of TV commercials urging players to use their “GameSense”. The ads were recognized by the American National Council on Problem Gambling for best public awareness campaign. BCLC continues to invest in research and training to help enhance and improve the GameSense program.
Members of BCLC’s award–winning Responsible Gambling team.
It’s important to remember that while VSE is a tool that can help, ultimately it’s the responsibility of the individual to honour their commitment.

Vancouver-Mount Pleasant MLA Jenny Kwan was instrumental in triggering the resignation of Carole James as leader of the B.C. NDP, and now she has endorsed Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth to take over. Kwan is the 10th current MLA to back Farnworth for the party leadership vote, set for April 17. His supporters also include Nanaimo MLA Leonard Krog, Nanaimo-North Cowichan MLA Doug Routley,DeltaNorthMLA Guy Gentner, Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald and Saanich South MLA Lana Popham, all of whom refused to back James last year and forced her to step down. Sounding her support at a Vancouver housing project developed during the NDP government of the 1990s, Kwan emphasized that both are party veterans who served together in cabinet during those years.

Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL Even though you may not usually need people around you, in the year ahead you could join up with certain individuals in order to take advantage of what they can offer. This could benefit you socially and financially.
PUZZLE NO. 203
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’re likely to get a chance to transform not one but three unproductive situations in your life. Don’t ignore this chance, because these conditions come along very rarely.
ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It’s one of those unique times when several advantageous situations might drop in your lap. Each one may be different, but they all have beneficial properties in common.
HOW TO PLAY: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box. 100512

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A sudden shift in conditions might send some big benefits your way, where your work or career is concerned. The opportunity might not be recognized or appreciated by your co-workers. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Although you won’t deliberately seek out the spotlight, it will focus on you wherever you go. Fortunately, the impression you make will be gracious, fun and delightful. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Neither your intuition nor your compassion will steer you wrong. Your involvements with others will be productive as well as influential, and people will follow your lead without question. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’re capable of using both the spoken and written word in a dynamic fashion. When you get serious, what you say or write will produce exactly what you expect and desire. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) It is an excellent day to devote your ideas, efforts and energies to enhancing your material position. Your mind is sharp, and your financial aspects look more favorable than usual. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Fresh rays of hope can pierce areas that have been shrouded in shadows lately, allowing you to
deal with several areas that have been covered in darkness for far too long. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) If you want to take a risky action, this is the right day to do so. Bold, powerful and positive measures can be taken right now on a secret ambition that you’ve been nurturing.

Don’t hesitate to discuss your present interests with people whom you believe can help. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Pursue with vigor any meaningful objectives or important endeavors in which you’re presently involved.

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

Bridge by Phillip Alder You double, then you rebid Thomas Fuller, a 17th-century English churchman, historian and author, said, “A gift, with a kind countenance, is a double present.” It is a gift at the bridge table if you have a hand strong enough to make a takeout double at the onelevel, then to rebid in a suit after partner makes a simple advance in a suit. Partner has shown only 0-8 points, so you need a five-card or longer suit and 18, 19 or 20 points (although with 20 and a six-card suit, your hand would be strong enough for a jump-rebid in your suit). In this deal, after you
rebid two diamonds, North suddenly has a maximum and should insist on game. (He was nearly worth a jump-advance of three clubs on the first round, but understandably did not like his 3-3-3-4 distribution.) So, North cue-bids two spades, hoping you have a spade stopper for three notrump. After that, a pushy five diamonds is reached. West leads the spade four, low from a tripleton in his partner’s unsupported suit. East wins with his 10, bottom of touching honors when playing third hand high. East cashes the spade ace, then, for want of anything better to do, leads a third spade. How would you continue after ruffing?
www.oyamaforest.com 250.548.4183
Clearly, you must play the trump suit for no losers. The correct play is low to your queen. This wins when East has kingdoubleton, or East has king-third and West jacksingleton. Here, you need two dummy entries, and have them in hearts and clubs.

HOMER-DIXON Richard Eugene (Gene) August 6, 1915 – April 5, 2011 Left to miss Gene’s dynamic presence are his loving companion of twenty-three years, Minda and sons Harry (Jacquie) and Chris. His beloved grandsons Richard and Patrick will be guided by his bravery, a lifetime of loyalty to friends in all walks of life and an example of living life to the fullest. Gene was predeceased by his special friend Alan Hunter whose companionship and council he cherished. Gene grew up in a family of original homesteaders in the Coldstream area of British Columbia. He attended Vernon Preparatory and Shawnigan Lake Schools, and then worked as a fitness instructor in Vancouver. As a member of the Trois Rivere and the British Columbia’s (Duke of Connaught’s Own) Regiments Gene proudly served in the UK, Central Mediterranean and Continental Europe during WWII. He returned from the war to teach physical education for sixteen years at the Vernon Preparatory School. After settling in Calgary in 1962 he worked for Gordon Pogue as a fitness instructor at Pogue’s Health Club. Gene was years ahead of all others in his belief that physical fitness would lead to a longer, healthier life. He played competitive badminton and tennis until the age of 45 and golfed at Earl Grey Golf and Country Club into his late 80’s. Friends and family will gather to celebrate Gene’s life at the Calgary Elks Lodge and Golf Club, 2502 - 6 Street N.E. today, April 8, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. You may forward condolences through www.mcinnisandholloway.com. Special thanks to extended “family” Bill and Nancy Hay and their family, Phil Haggart and Dr. Neil and Leanne Collins. Thanks to Dr. Gladman and the staff of the Colonel Belcher Care Centre for the exceptional care and attention over the past four years.

Ron Weidman With sadness we announce the death of Ron Weidman on Saturday, April, 2, 2011, in Vernon, after a period of illness. Ron was born in Gretna, MB to Herman and Mathilda Weidman, as they were moving from Detroit to Biggar, SK. Later, he moved with his family to Vernon and spent the rest of his life here. Ron served in the Armed Forces during World War II and a few years later bought a farm at Lumby.
