Doctors state their case for VJH RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Physicians are cautiously optimistic although they haven’t been promised extra funding for beds at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Medical staff representatives made Health Minister Michael de Jong aware of overcrowding issues during a one-hour meeting Tuesday. “Basically the Ministry of Health was very receptive to physician input,” said Dr. Michael Concannon, an emergency physician who participated in the session. “No decision was made by the ministry but information is being taken back to Victoria.” VJH receives funding for 148 acute-care beds but that number is frequently surpassed. At one point earlier this year, there were 192 patients admitted. Physicians claim that even once the new patient care tower opens in September, there will be a shortage of acute-care beds. De Jong was told Tuesday that there is an immediate need to develop two shelledin floors in the tower to increase available beds. “I think the doctors made a very convincing case to finish both — not just one — floors,” said Concannon. “We eagerly look forward to the ministry’s decision on an issue which is of critical importance to our patients.” When asked if VJH is a priority for his ministry, de Jong pointed out that this was his first stop since being named minister a few weeks ago. “We went through, in detail, the pressure that’s being faced here,” he said of the meeting with the doctors. “The physicians pointed out that there are days when Vernon Jubilee is above capacity.” However, de Jong says his ministry must look at the situation further and he can’t guarantee funding. “It’s not just about capital (developing the floors),” he said. “If you don’t have money to operate the facility, you haven’t accomplished anything.” The Interior Health Authority has previously stated it could cost about $10 million to complete each of the shelled-in floors and then $10 million each annually to operate the floors (with 30 beds each). While much of the focus during a media interview was on overcrowding, de Jong insisted the government has invested in local health care through the $180 million patient

Health Minister Michael de Jong speaks with the media after meeting with physicians about overcrowding at Vernon Jubilee Hospital Tuesday.
“I think the doctors made a very convincing case to finish both — not just one — floors.” — Dr. Michael Concannon care tower at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “This will be a state-of-the-art facility that’s world-leading,” he said. The tower will include operating rooms, a new emergency department, an intensive care unit and cardiac care, a new maternity and pediatrics ward and an outpatient department “There’s a lot to be proud of about the facility we are standing in front of,” said de Jong. Besides the doctors, pressure for funding came from Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA Tuesday.
“This is the top priority for us in the riding and we need beds,” he said, adding the government must consider its financial resources before committing to further enhancements at VJH. “There’s a balance between what the needs are and what the cheque book will allow,” he said. IHA officials state that a number of actions have been taken to address overcrowding at VJH, including more staff during peak periods and increasing the number of residential care beds in the community to free up acute care space.
Norm Embree, IHA chairperson, also believes the opening of the tower this fall may improve the situation. “This will be a lot better-run facility and we will have to see how it sorts itself out. There are needs everywhere,” said Embree. Health care providers recently launched a campaign asking residents to wear purple as a way of pressuring the government to fund more beds. The ribbons are available at local medical clinics and the campaign includes a Facebook page. As a result of public concerns, the City of Vernon has invited the physicians to make a presentation to council April 26. “I want people to get involved in the campaign and to show support for our doctors,” said Coun. Bob Spiers. Interior Health Authority representatives will appear before Vernon council at a future date.

Cause determined RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Investigators have pinpointed the source of a fire that destroyed a Vernon business. Electrical problems are believed to be the cause of the fire that broke out at Fatheads Coffee Co., in the 2500 block of 15th Street, at about midnight Saturday. “The point of origin was in the middle of the building near the ceiling,� said Lawrie Skolrood, deputy fire chief. “There were a number of electrical cables going through the wall and it caused an arc.� The value of the damage has not been determined and it’s not known if the structure can be rebuilt. “The secondstorey side is signifi-

pany will determine what happens to the building. Firefighters were on scene until about 4 a.m. Saturday and then they were back just after 6 a.m. to deal with hot
spots. “We were dealing with sawdust or shaving insulation and add-ons to the building which made extinguishing the fire difficult,� said Skolrood.

New fire chief moves up through the ranks RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
It’s just a short move down the hallway for Vernon’s new fire chief. Keith Green has gone from training officer to take up duties as administrator of the department. “My priority is to continue building relations with our partners regionally and with the career and volunteer firefighters,� he said. Originally from Richmond, Green has been with the Vernon department as a volunteer and career firefighter for 12 years. He has been training officer since 2009. The position of chief became vacant when Jeff Carlisle moved to Kelowna earlier this year. Green

“There will be tough decisions to make but it’s about respecting individuals.� — Keith Green admits that he originally never gave much thought to the job but ultimately decided to apply. “I believe our department was ready for an internal candidate to put their name forward,� he said. “I was inspired by Jeff and (interim chief) Gary McCall and how they conducted themselves. I decided I can do this because there’s a lot of great people who
#
work here.� Among his first actions as chief will be becoming familiar with major files like upgrades to the dispatch centre and a new fire hall for Predator Ridge. Green was part of the union as a firefighter, but he isn’t concerned about the challenges that may arise from being management now. “We’re all on the same team,�
he said of administration and the career and volunteer firefighters. “You don’t have to be adversaries. There will be tough decisions to make but it’s about respecting individuals.� There were initially 57 applications for the fire chief ’s job. That was pared down to 10 candidates and then finally short-listed to six prospective candidates. Leon Gous, Vernon’s chief administrative officer, is confident Green will continue to be an asset to the city. “He understands the needs of Vernon Fire and Rescue Services and will continue to build on the achievements of the department,� said Gous in a release. “I know Keith’s transition into
the post will be advanced by his existing rapport with colleagues and his appreciation of the department initiatives already in place.�

Irrigation turn-on delayed Morning Star Staff
Unseasonably cool weather has put a chill on Greater Vernon farmers. The irrigation turnon that was to have started Monday has been pushed back to April 26. “The delay is due to the unusually cold spring temperatures and the risk of overnight freezing that can break irrigation pipe,” said Al Cotsworth, North Okanagan Regional District utilities manager. “The weather forecast shows overnight freezing until Thursday morning and overnight lows at the plus one degree level until Saturday.” Cotsworth says the cool temperatures and
recent light rain have likely reduced the need for irrigation at this time.
“Depending on the fall weather irrigation turn-off may be extended,” he said.

Voters head to the polls on prison issue RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Perhaps the most contentious vote in Lumby’s history is about to get underway. Advance polls run today for the correctional facility referendum, with main voting April 30. “It will be interesting to see how many people come out,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. Divisions have developed within the community since council presented the concept of a prison last year. While many believe such a facility will help stimulate the economy and create jobs, others are concerned that
“I hope people will get out and cast a ballot.” — Paul Fisher a prison will negatively impact the village’s image and increase crime. Acton stands by the process council has followed. “There has been an immense amount of work and research done,” he said of why he believes a correctional facility would be an asset to the community.

The fight for second
T
here’s no need for a crystal ball or tea leaves to predict who will win the federal election locally. Since 1993, the Conservative Party, through the earlier incarnations of Reform and the Canadian Alliance, has held a lock on OkanaganShuswap. And while Colin Mayes hasn’t developed the same personal loyalty that revolved around predecessor Darrel Stinson, there’s sufficient voter support to ensure him a third term May 2. With top spot taken care of, the real mystery is who will come second? The NDP has been able Richard Rolke to retain runner-up status in recent years largely through its usual base of social activists and unions. Some upward movement in the polls has also come from the steady drive and downto-earth charisma of perennial candidate Alice Brown. But while Brown can still be found behindthe-scenes, there is a new name on the ballot — Nikki Inouye — and unfamiliarity breeds uncertainty when trying to garner public support. It also hasn’t helped that Inouye has been back east at a work-related course for the first two weeks of the campaign. This means she hasn’t been knocking on doors, speaking to small groups or out shaking hands. At the first forum last week, Inouye’s written responses to questions provided in advance were read out. It was impersonal and there was no sense of who Inouye is as a person. Is she passionate? Is she a good speaker? How does she carry herself? When the format shifted to questions directly from the floor, the NDP wasn’t heard from for the rest of the evening. That provided the Green and Liberal candidates with unlimited exposure and the ability to challenge Mayes.
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
By the time Inouye returns, it could be too late to make a meaningful bond with voters (particularly as advance polls open this weekend). Like the NDP, the Greens also face some challenges. Once considered nothing more than a fringe movement, the Greens escaped the political wilderness in 2008, capturing 17.30 per cent of the vote in Okanagan-Shuswap. They were within a couple of points of overtaking the NDP and they forced the Liberals to the back of the bus. Much of that success was directly related to Huguette Allen, a whirlwind on the hustings who was able to convey her message through the media. But now, Greig Crockett is carrying the party banner and he’s left educating voters about himself and where he stands. Whether he has the ability to build on Allen’s gains remains to be seen. One also has to wonder if the environment resonates with voters at a time when many people are struggling to make ends meet or they face growing waits for critical surgeries. As for the Liberals, Janna Francis has ran before and is a known commodity. That could allow her to take advantage of the new faces in the other parties and make some inroads. If Francis can’t overcome the stigma of 2008’s fourth-place showing and improve her numbers, the Liberals are doomed to irrelevance locally. Obviously a prediction of a Mayes victory will make election night anti-climactic and prove frustrating for some because Mayes comes across as woefully partisan and he personally hasn’t clicked with some constituents. His back-to-back wins generally have more to do with the national scene and the Okanagan’s traditional small-c philosophical roots than anything else. But instead of tuning out, voters should remain focused because there will be considerable intrigue as the opposition parties duke it out for second.
It’s always a good thing when local concerns can be heard directly by a cabinet minister. That’s why it’s considered good news that provincial health minister Michael de Jong met with area medical staff Tuesday about the overcrowding issue at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. And emergency physician Dr. Michael Concannon says the minister was receptive to local concerns and that he is optimistic that the minister will take the shortage of acute-care beds seriously and that “information is being taken back to Victoria.” Although this could be considered a good first step in addressing the issue and the community is looking forward to the opening of the new $180-million patient care tower, there is still much to do to even begin to eliminate code-purple situations at VJH. The investment in the tower is welcome and a huge step forward in providing modern medical care in the North Okanagan. But, as the doctors explain, it comes down to funding for beds and the new tower doesn’t address that need directly. Hopefully that message was convincingly conveyed to the new health minister as he becomes familiar with his responsibilities. Only time will tell if Tuesday’s meeting was successful in actually making a difference. However the lobbying campaign must continue as the political reality is that the squeaky hospital bed gets the grease, and North Okanagan politicians and residents alike need to get onboard to ensure the new tower includes the ability to deal with a serious bed shortage. Otherwise this week’s optimism will turn into tomorrow’s disappointment once again.

School sports pay dividends
A
s a physician, taxpayer, and most importantly, as a concerned parent, I am writing to you about the lack of dedicated funding in place for sports in our public schools. I applaud the recognition both the federal and provincial governments have shown around the escalating problems of childhood inactivity and obesity. While these advertising campaigns effectively raise public awareness, the next logical step must be to commit to dedicated funding of school sports programs which address many of these health/social issues. Ensuring there are ongoing and cost-effective programs is money well spent. In my own school district, funding cuts have led to significant budget cuts in support of school sports: each high school has lost $10,000 annually. What this has immediately translated into is no funded busing to school events, no funded team prep time, no allowances for substitute teachers to cover classes allowing teachers to coach, and no funding for equipment. We are already seeing school teams disbanded due to lack of funds and support for team coaches. Once one team fails, the ALC SUPPORTED I'm breathing a sigh of relief at the ALC's rejection of what you call our "community's dream." Hey, it certainly wasn't a dream of mine and I doubt if very many other fixed-income residents in our community welcomed the idea of another big loan being made to satisfy the terrible appetite of the sports lobby in this regional district. Sure, they claim it would have meant only a small increase in our taxes for the next 20 years, but in that 20 years, how many more community dreams would there have been? There was another running with it: the Kin Race Track dream; a few more dollars on our taxes. And neither of those dreams came even close to addressing the really big dream of the Funtastic sports goblin that wants a massive prairie of ball diamonds to oneday surround the city so that all the Funtastic experience can be in one place. I'm not a grump who wants nobody to have fun. In fact, I may subscribe to the credo of a former mayor who said if you can't have a little fun there's no point to all the other crap. But, he was of my generation
other schools have fewer or no teams to play against, and a whole sports program can fall apart very quickly. It is much more difficult to restart a sports league than to maintain one. And equally problematic, due to shortage of coaches junior and senior teams are now being rolled into one, which is also a troubling, ill-advised and unworkable response.
which had fun where you found it and didn't demand a little bit more on everybody's taxes to furnish expensive playing fields that allow access to only a few. By the way, I got a kick out of your editorial accusing the ALC of thinking only of preserving acreage in the Agricultural Land Reserve and nothing else. Well, as they say these days, duh. That's why the NDP created the reserve years ago - to keep the vested interests from dwindling it down to development and sports fields. If the spend-crazy councils of this region insist on pursuing luxury fields and forever adding just a little more on the taxes, I respectfully request that seniors and others on fixed income, who can't keep giving a little more, be excused from participating. A small thing to ask in the face of the endless rising cost of living. John J. Clarke PERCEPTION PROBLEMS Our member of Parliament, Colin Mayes, writes that the problems of our federal government are merely problems of perception. In so doing, he is simply toeing
the line of his autocratic prime minister, who tries to brush off legitimate concerns by defending ministers who mislead Parliament, while accusing their critics of lying, by apparently covering up the in-and-out scandal, by withholding information essential to parliamentary process, and by resorting to unethical attack ads simply because they work. In short, Mr. Mayes is telling us we’re stupid, and his contempt for the electorate would seem to match that of his superiors. The present government, which the PMO tries to tell us is no longer “the Government of Canada,” but “the Harper Government,” has systematically undermined the very institutions which guarantee our hard-won (over centuries) freedoms. Its contempt of Parliament is also contempt for the people. Parliament is supposed to represent, and in whose collective interests it is supposed to govern. We now have another opportunity to choose a government of Canada. We will indeed be fools if we continue to support this autocratic regime, or absent ourselves from the polls through laziness, cynicism or apathy.
Not all students in any school will be involved in intramural sports but at least one-third of the school typically is, and frequently even more. It is often the only access these children have to both learning and being actively engaged in sports. With the government's own recognition of the deeply concerning statistics and future projections surrounding health care for less active generations — protecting funding for school sports is a vital and immediate necessity. Supporting school sports and allowing for the support of teachers/coaches makes sense from both and educational and health care perspective. We all appreciate that the current economic realities make budget decisions more difficult. Supporting school sports, which already have a structure, tradition and place in our communities, is a budget decision that requires no hesitation. If intramural sports are to survive in our school system in the long-term, with all of the proven benefits they provide, support must be committed, ongoing and given now. Joan Croft, MDCM, CCFP-EM

they are doing and give me some water. Is it just me, or does anyone else see the irony in this? Bob Cail
WATER WOES Let’s see if I get this straight. Two Vernon councillors are lobbying to have bottled water restricted as “Vernon has worked hard to achieve good drinking water.” I then read that the Interior Health has told the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee, that $20 million is needed to be spent, to bring one of Vernon’s water supplies up to safety standards for drinking water, and at the same time, recommend the raising of water rates, to cover the usage of water by residents. Nice job people. Take away a source of good drinking water, but raise taxes and don’t guarantee that the supposed “good drinking water” is actually as good as it is supposed to be. Also, if I am downtown and thirsty, can I go into either of these councillors' businesses and ask for a drink of “good drinking water,” as I won’t be able to get a bottle of water? Perhaps city hall will stop what

Parks bill hikes taxes JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Armstrong and Spallumcheen taxpayers will likely be on the hook for increased parks and recreation costs. Originally Spallumcheen was eyeing a three per cent Will Hansma tax increase, but has now bumped that number up to five per cent. In Armstrong the proposed tax increase is three per cent (a $19 increase Chris Pieper for the average home assessed at $310,000). Numbers needed to be adjusted after the Parks and Recreation Commission requested a substantial budget increase. In 2010 parks and rec received a total $793,000 from the two communities, but has asked for $1.165 million this year. “It’s a tremendous increase,” said Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper, noting that there is some maintenance catch-up work needed in local parks and recreation facilities following
recent major projects like the water park which put maintenance on hold. Parks and rec didn’t get quite what they were asking for, but both communities worked out a number they felt was fair and that they could afford. Armstrong will contribute $444,900 and Spallumcheen will contribute $520,227 – leaving parks and rec with a budget of approximately $965,000. “They’ll have to make it work,” said Spallumcheen Mayor Will Hansma. While it means taxes will jump five per cent in Spall, Hansma says the alternative was to decommission some local facilities. “I don’t think anybody’s got the appetite for that.” He is confident parks will be able to manage with its new budget. “That gives us a little bit of room to do some of the stuff they need to do to some of the older buildings.” In Armstrong, the burden on taxes was eased slightly by using the provincial small communities grant to help cover the increased parks and rec costs. Both Armstrong and Spallumcheen’s 2011 financial plans must be adopted by May 15 under provincial legislation.

Demand drives food bank fundraisers Morning Star Staff
The Salvation Army food bank in Vernon has a number of special events currently underway. Superstore and the Canadian Wholesale Club are holding their semi-annual food and cash drive until April 28. “Last spring, these stores collected more than 1,200 pounds and
$2,000,” said David MacBain, Salvation Army community ministries director. “With demand on the food bank continuing to rise, we would love to beat those numbers this year.” The Village Green Centre has named the Salvation Army as its charity of choice for 2011.
“On Friday, the Salvation Army will have its Blue-Bag-It recycle table set up in front of the food court all this week,” said MacBain. “Come pick-up your Blue-Bag-It bags and return them to the Village Green Centre this week to do your part in recycling your valuable clothes.” Curves is holding an
annual food drive during April, while Rogers Video is collecting cell phones to recycle. The value of the cell phone parts will return to the food bank. “The demand on the Vernon Salvation Army food bank continues to climb with an additional 32 new households coming for assistance last month for the first time,

Q: A:
What are some natural products that can help my spring allergies?
Vitamin C: helps support the immune system and has a slight antihistamine effect (Recommended Dose = 2000mg per day in divided doses) Quercitin: is a plant-derived bioflavonoid (naturally found in onion and apple skins, and citrus fruits) that acts as a natural antihistamine (RD = 1000mg per day in divided doses between meals) Use a netipot/sinus flush 1-2X daily: Using a netipot (a small “teapot” used to rinse the sinuses) with a saline solution is a simple way to keep sinuses clear, and will help decrease the effect of pollens/ allergens (also a great way to prevent sinus infections) Fish oil: a natural anti-inflammatory and immune system support (RD = 750mg EPA per day)

Q: A:
Co-Owner
Why is there water leaking from a brass valve at the top of my hot water tank?
On every hot water tank there is a safety device called a “relief valve” usually found within one or two inches from the top of the tank. These safety devices are designed to let pressure out of the tank in the event of equipment failure. Over time the spring in the relief valve can get weak causing the valve to drip. It is important to replace this part as soon as a problem is detected.
Q: A:
Now that home inspectors have to be licensed, as a consumer what can I expect, and how do I know the guy is legitimate?
As of March 31, 2009 all home inspectors in the province must be licensed. It is not good enough for them to say they have a certificate from ABC home inspectors training, that won’t cut it. Home inspectors must be licensed with The Business Practices and Consumer Protection Authority of British Columbia. Home inspectors must publish their license number in all of their advertising, all of their contracts and reports. You have a right to ask to see their license; doing home inspections without a license carries a five thousand dollar fine. Licenses must be renewed each year. I think licensing is a good thing as it protects you the consumer as well as leveling the playing field for us as home inspectors.

Q: A:
What is permanent makeup?
Permanent makeup is a wonderful concept that can accentuate and define your eyes, brows and lips. Wake up looking fresh, exercise without losing your brows and cry at the movies without your eyeliner running! Imagine looking your best all day, every day! Permanent makeup can benefit you if you are allergic to cosmetics, have sparse or light eyebrows, feel washed out without makeup, have a vision problem or just want to minimize your daily makeup routine! Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing or micro pigmentation, is a means of implanting natural pigments into the skin with a small, sterile, disposable needle to create a long lasting cosmetic effect. The pigments used are made specifically for cosmetic tattooing and are developed with the highest quality ingredients. They are made of mineral, iron oxide based colorants and are FDA regulated to ensure their safety. We adhere to strict sterilization procedures at North Okanagan Skin & Laser and have your safety as our top priority. We have many “Before & After” photos available for you to look at in the clinic and welcome you to come in and let us answer any questions you may have! With summer just around the corner, it is the perfect time for you to choose permanent makeup at North Okanagan Skin & Laser.

Q: A:
All learning disabilities can be largely overcome or perhaps eliminated with the proper method. It’s a matter of retraining the brain, getting it more organized and more controlled. Lack of brain organization affects comprehension issues, like not understanding what was read, having poor spelling, or “not getting” math. The key to a more organized brain is to learn reasoning skills (logical thinking). Lack of control in the brain shows up in students with dyslexia, or focusing problems. When these students learn how to be more controlled, whether physically or visually, they do far better. Dyslexics need to train their eyes to move across the page from left to right, in order, exactly as it is written. So, in my experience over the last 23 years of using the Potentials method, dyslexia can be overcome! Come and see how.

Something I know for sure is that having amazing style isn’t about having all the latest looks or having access to designer labels. You could have all the money in the world, but it still doesn’t guarantee that you’ll look great. People that truly inspire me are skilled at creating mixed outfits. Each season they recycle their old favorites. Building a functional wardrobe is like building a house. You have to have a good foundation to build from. I believe there are “6” keys pieces that every women should have in the closet at all times. 1. Basic white T’shirt and Tank 2. Well fitting “Dark” denim jeans 3. Structured white blouse 4. The “LBD” Little black dress (Basic Shift or Sheath style) 5. Pencil skirt (Black or Grey in colour) 6. Black or Grey slacks (slim or straight leg) If you have these items you can put together an amazing day look, a sophisticated office look and a stunning night look in minutes and adding new pieces will be a fun and exciting experience. Try a cardigan in the lastest color that will go great with your white T’shirt and denim jeans or brighten your Monday when put it with a white tank and grey pencil skirt. Try putting a skinny belt over the top for a fun twist. Whether creating your closet from scratch or giving it a huge overhaul we recommend that you start by buying the absolute best basics you can afford. Your goal is to find timeless items that will be your foundation giving you the opportunity to add the hottest trends from each season.

How do I use networking to find work?
Networking for your job search is about introducing yourself to people in your career, industry or geographical location, and creating mutually beneficial relationships with them. Keeping your focus on how you can help others achieve their goals is one of the best way of demonstrating your value and capabilities to your network of contacts. Start with people you already know, and ask them for assistance and introductions to their circle of contacts. Be prepared to talk about your strengths and accomplishments in the workplace, as well as your career goals. When one of your contacts provides a name, an introduction or a job lead, follow up immediately, and always send a thank you note. For more professional job search assistance, call today!

Lumby freezes taxes RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
There doesn’t appear to be a lot of interest in Lumby’s financial affairs. About six people attended an open house Monday that provided information on the 2011 budget. “That tells me people may be happy with the budget,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. As part of the budget, which was given third reading by council Monday, property taxes have been frozen. “In this economy, Lumby doesn’t have the ability for a tax increase. We have to live within our means,” said Acton. However, Coun. Lori Mindnich insists that a tax freeze doesn’t mean
that village activities have ground to a halt. “We are getting sidewalks done on Maple Street and roads resurfaced. We have to keep the village running,” she said. “We worked hard on the budget. There were meetings for five or six months.” As part of the process, the village is pro-
ceeding with higher rates for water and sewer to cover operating costs. Water rates will include a flat fee of $12 and then 64 cents per cubic metre. The average home will see their cost go from $240 to $310 annually. “If you are a responsible user, you bill will

Enderby’s budget process is nearing an end. On Monday, council gave three readings to the 2011 financial plan, which includes no residential tax increase. “Adoption of the bylaw will be at the next meeting May 2,” said Mayor Dee Wejr. While property taxes aren’t going up, residents will be paying more for basic utilities. Sewer and water user fees are climbing 1.3 per cent each. “I haven’t heard a word from people about the increase,” said Wejr. “People understand the water and sewer services have to pay for themselves. We need to cover expenses.” The net impact to a single-family dwelling with a 100-foot frontage is $36.56. Of that, $30 is related to the borrowing of funds for sewer capital projects.
probably remain about the same. It depends on how much you use,” said Acton of water consumption. With sewer, there will be a flat rate of $12 for sewer and then a cost of 40 cents per cubic metre. For the average residence, the annual sewer bill will go from $171 to $247 a year.

Workshop pools regional efforts to protect water JUDIE STEEVES Black Press
A workshop on source water protection will be organized by the Okanagan Water Stewardship Council to involve all watershed users, in a bid to have them all work together to protect drinking water in the Okanagan. The decision followed an afternoon of discussion by council members from around the valley on issues affecting the protection of water quality at its source. That source is in the hills around the Okanagan, where springs and melting snow flow into streams, wetlands, ponds, lakes, reservoirs and rivers before continuing its downhill journey into the mainstream lakes in the bottom of the Okanagan Valley. It is throughout that journey that grazing and wallowing cattle; timber cutting and hauling operations; people on motorized recreation vehicles; developers and builders; boaters and swimmers and wildfire all affect the ultimate quality of the water that comes out of your tap. The Okanagan’s watersheds are multiuse watersheds, not closed to other uses, and all these activities, plus many more, affect the source of drinking water for thousands of people in the bottom of the valley. Valerie Cameron chairs the Southern Interior Drinking Water Team and is regional manager for water stewardship for the Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Ministry. She told council members that B.C. is unique in that sweeping changes to drinking water legislation in 2003 left the health ministry running the show as far as water quality is concerned. Despite that, the health ministry does not have an army of staff on the land base, she pointed out.
“This is a big region with a lot of complex issues,” she noted. “There’s little legislation governing water
quality in the other ministries.” However, there are lots of other agencies that impact water qual-
ity, including the ministries of tourism, agriculture, transportation, forests, highways and environment.
As well, she is concerned there is a weak link between local government and the provincial government on
water issues. In a presentation to the council, aquatic biologist Heather Larratt said the true
cost of forested landscape in a watershed as filtration is enormous. “It’s worth billions,” she said.
+VU»[ -VYNL[ [OL <KKLY 6ULZ Many people are unaware of the best way to recycle milk, cream and milk substitute containers. Bringing them to the Return-It Depot guarantees they’ll be turned into something useful like cardboard boxes and tissue paper. So why not change your good habits. Return your milk containers with your refundable beverage containers. It’s easy. Quickly rinse them out and crush them. Remove any caps and bring them too, because they get recycled separately. There’s no refund on milk empties because there’s no deposit when you buy, but you’ll be doing the right thing. So on your next trip to Return-It, bring the udder ones too.

Asparagus grows for 30 years Armstrong theatre prospers thanks to supportive community KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
It all started with a tiny seed –– planted and tended with loving attention –– that sprouted into a healthy crop for theatre lovers in Armstrong-Spallumcheen and beyond. For the past 30 years, members of Asparagus Community Theatre have embodied the word community by entertaining locals with theatre productions ranging from family-friendly pantomimes, musicals, comedies and dramas. Started in 1981 by a group of dedicated volunteers, some of whom are still involved with the theatre today, Asparagus has grown from those early days when shows were set up in Armstrong’s Centennial Hall over a weekend for a three-day run, to a two-week run in a professional-like theatre. “Our community has been so supportive over the years. We really owe it to our audience, and we want to celebrate them,” said Paul Kirkwood-Hackett, who has been with Asparagus since 1984. “Our main focus has always been to put the best product out there for audiences, and I believe we’ve accomplished that.” Like many who have been part of ACT over the years, KirkwoodHackett came to the area from a theatre background. Previously involved with the Langham Court and The Belfry theatres in Victoria, he arrived in the North Okanagan to work with Caravan Farm Theatre.

The festival was hosted by the Armstrong theatre, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and saw Ashton take home the best actor award. who helped found Asparagus, along with others “pioneers” such as George Young, Wayne Ashton and Sharon Wickstrom to name a few. Paul’s first play with Asparagus was a French farce called Sauce for the Goose, directed by Caravan founding father Nick Hutchison, and he’s been with the theatre ever since as a board president, member actor and director. “I think I have directed 15 shows for Asparagus, at least it seems like it,” he laughed. “And I’ve seen a lot of changes since that first play.” A few years after KirkwoodHackett joined, Asparagus moved into its own theatre within Centennial Hall. “We were able to built a theatre
in the hall in 1987 from Expo ‘86 grants. I remember the first show we had in there was The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” he said. More recently, the installment of new seats and a $60,000 lighting system upgrade has seen the theatre better serve its community. “We’ve raised most of the money for equipment through grants and fundraisers. Our community has been so good to us,” said Kirkwood-Hackett. “They really appreciate the level of professionalism we bring to the theatre. “We also make sure we have young people in our shows, such as our Christmas pantomimes, and I believe the community appreciates that.” Asparagus, in fact, has been a
breeding ground for talent. Young actors who got their start in the theatre include Chris Gauthier, who has since acted in film and TV, Jenny Young, the original lead of award-winning play The Shape of a Girl who currently can be heard on CBC’s radiodrama Afghanada, her brother Jonathan Young, a three-time Jessie Richardson award winning actor and co-founder of Vancouver’s Electric Theatre company, as well as Lana O’Brien who has acted in numerous local productions and is the current drama teacher at W.L. Seaton Secondary School. “I remember when they were all young kids starring in our pantos,” said Kirkwood-Hackett. “In some cases, it has been the starting point
for a career in the theatre, and not just acting, but teaching as well... We’re fortunate to draw on so many talented people. I think the whole Okanagan is talented. It’s the magic of the area, and it’s why I don’t live anywhere else.” Over the years, Asparagus has also been acknowledged for its contribution to community theatre, winning both regional and provincial awards for its productions, including four Okanagan Zone Drama Awards for best production: 1989’s Footprints on the Moon, 1999’s Goodnight Disgrace (which also won that year’s Mainstage award from Theatre BC), 2002’s Risk Everything and 2009’s Spoon River Anthology. And although, it won’t be entering a play in this May’s O-Zone festival in Kelowna, it will be hosting the event in 2012. “We’re taking this year off to celebrate our 30th anniversary, and we will enter next year when we host the O-Zones,” said KirkwoodHackett. The community is invited to celebrate three decades of theatre with the Asparagus family in the event, 30 Years of Acting Up, April 30. “We won’t be doing scenes from previous plays, but will showcase the talent we have here in Armstrong and the surrounding area with musical numbers. We will also have emcees who will highlight the history,” said KirkwoodHackett, adding food and libation will be served. “There’s also a dance at the end of the show, and we are having a black and white theme that is open to interpretation.” Doors to the event at Centennial Hall open at 7 p.m., with entertainment starting at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance only at The Guy Next Door.

Ten years and counting North Okanagan Artists Alternative hosts 10th annual juried exhibition Morning Star Staff
It’s been 10 years since the North Okanagan Artists Alternative set up its first exhibition in an empty storefront in downtown Vernon. Now housed in Vernon’s Gallery Vertigo, the NOAA continues to grow in its members and endeavors. This will be evident when the nonprofit society hosts its 10th annual juried art exhibition at Gallery Vertigo April 28 to May 28. “This year’s annual juried exhibition is a celebration of the fact that we continue to be artists and to create exciting work despite external events and difficult economic realities,” said Judith Jurica, a founding member of NOAA, as well as curator at Gallery Vertigo. As in the past few years, the upcoming exhibition has no theme. Artists, writers and other creative types are welcome to bring their latest and greatest creations. Up to three works will be accepted. This year’s juror is Kelownabased printmaker Briar Craig, who is also a faculty member with the creative studies department at UBC
Okanagan. “Briar is very supportive of the gallery, and does whatever he can to help us in our endeavours,” said Jurica. Artists submitting work must be current members of the North Okanagan Artists Alternative, and new members are always welcome, said Jurica. “We are always hoping to lure a few new ones to join us.” The gallery also welcomes musicians, actors, writers, dancers and other performers to perform at the opening reception for the exhibition, which will take place April 30 from 2 to 4 p.m. “We would like to showcase North Okanagan Artists Alternative members, the Okanagan’s best,” said Jurica. Deadline to enter work for the exhibition is Thursday. Those interested can deliver their work between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. at Gallery Vertigo, located at #1-3001-31st St. (upstairs) in downtown Vernon. The jury fee is $10 for one piece, $15 for two, and $20 for three. Individual NOAA memberships are $25 per year, or $15 for seniors and students. Memberships may be purchased or renewed when delivering works for the exhibition or signing up to perform at the reception. For more information, call Gallery Vertigo at 250-503-2297, or visit www. galleryvertigo.com.

Tips for staying tick-free Morning Star Staff
As the weather warms, people will be spending more time in tall grass or wooded areas and this means an increased chance of getting tick bites. Ticks are small bugs that bite and feed on the blood of humans and animals and sometimes these bites can transmit disease. Fortunately, there are precautions people can take to prevent illnesses that may be transmitted from tick bites. “There are easy things you can do to protect yourself like covering up before you head outdoors and checking for ticks when returning from a walk, hike or bike ride,” said Dr. Rob Parker, medical health officer with the Interior Health Authority. “Most tick bites do not result in illness; however, any bite from a tick or other insect should be cleaned, as infection can occur whenever there is a break in the skin.” While ticks are common in the Interior Health region, most are the wood tick (dermacentor andersoni), species which does not carry the Lyme disease bacteria. Lyme disease-carrying ticks (I. pacificus) are more common in the coastal areas of B.C. The wood tick can carry other diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, although it is rare. In addition, ticks also have toxins that can cause temporary muscle weakness and paralysis if they are attached for several days, especially in children or seniors but the symptoms fade once the tick is found and removed from the skin. The signs of many tick-borne infections can be quite similar and include fever, headache, muscle pain and rash. “Even though the Lyme disease-carrying ticks are less common in the Interior than on the coast of B.C., we know many residents travel around the province frequently, so it’s important they are aware of the signs of Lyme disease,” said Parker. For people newly
infected with Lyme disease, about 70 to 80 per cent will develop small red bumps at the site of the tick bite within several days. The redness then spreads out into a circular rash eventually resembling a target or “bull’s-eye”. Individuals who experience this rash should see their doctor as soon as possible. One of the most important ways to protect yourself from tick illnesses is to do a skin check on yourself and your children after being outdoors. Other precautions include: Walking on cleared trails when in long grass or wooded areas. Wearing a hat, long sleeves, pants and lightcoloured clothing. Tucking pant legs into socks or boots.
Applying insect repellent containing DEET on all uncovered skin. Carefully checking clothing and scalp (covered or not) when leaving an area where ticks may live. Regularly checking household pets for ticks. To reduce ticks from entering your home and yard, try these steps: Keep your lawn short and remove any leaf litter and weeds. Keep a buffer area such as wood-chip or gravel border between your lawn and wooded areas or stone walls. Any play equipment or areas should be kept away from wooded areas. Trim tree branches to allow more sunlight in your yard. Move wood piles and
bird feeders away from the house. Widen and maintain trails on your property. If you do find a tick on yourself or your pet, wear gloves and be careful not to crush the tick because this could cause it to inject its stomach contents into your skin: Use needle-nose tweezers to gently grasp the tick close to the skin. Without squeezing, pull the tick straight out. After removal, clean the area with soap and water. If you find one tick, check very carefully for others. If you have concerns or need assistance removing a tick, contact your family doctor or visit a walk-in medical clinic.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Enjoy getting involved in something you truly like doing, whether it is a sport, a job or an intriguing hobby. Don’t let anybody burgle your precious time.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Resolve to be tactful and considerate in trying to arrange a delicate mater with a friend. Don’t make saving face or always being right an issue; strive to be appreciative of you pal’s feelings. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Timing is always essential when trying to either propose or resolve something. If there is an important matter that you want to bring up with another and the right moment pops up, jump on it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Don’t fall prey to putting off until tomorrow something you can do right now. It’s always a relief to get things off your to-do list and out of your mind. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You can learn a lot when you have a healthy curiosity about things, but not if you’re merely poking your snoot into someone else’s business. Develop your mind, not your nostrils. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Instead of hounding your family about how things should be done, set a good example and give
them plenty of reasons why they should do things right in the first place. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If you’re merely looking for flaws instead of virtues in people, you’ll find plenty of them, but others will make sure yours are totted up as well.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You won’t win any popularity contests if you come down too hard on others for not doing things that you should have taken care of yourself. Do your duties, instead of delegating them. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Although one of your best assets is your creative imagination, be careful not to apply it in a negative fashion. Use it as a means to dream up all kinds of positive designs and developments.
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 Science-fiction writer Robert Heinlein said, “To be matter of fact about the world is to blunder into fantasy -- and dull fantasy at that, as the real world is strange and wonderful.” There are certain plays that will work in the real world -- that is, at the table; only experts or players sitting in their armchairs at home would find the best defense. This deal is an example. How should South plan the play in three no-trump after West leads the heart jack? Even if three diamonds would be natural, not a transfer bid promising five or more hearts, North was right to raise to three notrump. With game-only values and no singleton or
void, bid three no-trump with a long minor. There will be few deals when five of the minor makes and three no-trump fails; there will be many for which the converse is true. South starts with six top tricks: one spade, two hearts (given the opening lead), two diamonds and one club. He could hope to get lucky in diamonds; or, better, he could take his top diamonds, ending in the dummy. If the queen drops, great; if not, he could finesse in clubs. Best, though, is to win the first trick and to lead the diamond two to dummy’s eight. In the real world, East will win with his queen and fire a heart back. Now South has nine winners.
At home, East does not take his diamond queen; he plays low. But then declarer leads a club to his queen. When that wins, he overtakes his diamond king with dummy’s ace and repeats the club finesse. Here he has nine tricks: one spade, two hearts, two diamonds and four clubs.

Flanked by runner-up Mike Farnworth (left) and other NDP MLAs, Adrian Dix thanks supporters at the NDP leadership assembly in Vancouver Sunday night.
Dix named NDP leader TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Vancouver-Kingsway Adrian Dix won the B.C. NDP leadership race Sunday, finishing with 9,772 party members supporting him after the third round of voting. Dix emerged on top after the first round of live voting by NDP members, with 7,368 votes. Veteran Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth, who was believed by many to be the front-runner, was close behind with 6,979. Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan was third with 4,844 and marijuana activist Dana Larsen was dropped from the ballot with 531 supporters. In the second round, Dix extended his lead with 7,748 votes, while Farnworth’s total dipped slightly as about 250 voters didn’t cast second round ballots. Horgan increased his total to 5,034 in the second round, but was dropped from the ballot for the decisive third round and refused to indicate a preference. In the final round, Farnworth made it close with 9,095 votes, 48 per cent of the total who stayed in the voting to the end. Polls of the general public throughout the three-month leadership campaign consistently put Farnworth in front of the other contenders in recognition and positive views. In his speech after the final vote in a crowded ballroom at the Vancouver convention centre, Dix quickly went after Premier Christy Clark, who is running in a May byelection to return to the Legislature after five years away from the B.C. Liberal Party.
Dix reminded NDP supporters that more than 100 public schools closed while Clark was education minister in the Gordon Campbell government, and accused her of suggesting during her leadership campaign that she would make deep cuts to health care spending. After the vote, Farnworth said he had no regrets about entering the contest, and along with Horgan he pledged to work with Dix to win the next B.C. election. Each candidate gave a speech before the final rounds of live voting, trying to persuade the remaining third of B.C. NDP members who waited for Sunday’s live rounds of voting. Their remarks kept close to the scripts established during the party’s debate tour around the province in recent weeks. Farnworth presented
himself as the moderate candidate who can reach out to people who haven’t supported the NDP in previous elections, as well as traditional supporters and those voting for the first time. He promised to restore a northern and rural resource commission to keep resource jobs in B.C. Dix returned to his theme of income inequality that has been a feature of his campaign. He called for a minimum tax on banks to fund interest-free loans and grants for post-secondary studies, and advocated rolling back corporate tax cuts from the Gordon Campbell era. After the first round of voting, Horgan said he had momentum, but his later start cost him support as Dix and Farnworth signed up many new members in the Lower Mainland.

Road show time for Vipers KEVIN MITCHELL/GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Two methodical teams who pay special attention to detail and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care who gets credit when they win hockey games. Something had to give with the Doyle Cup regional series square at 1-1 Sunday night, and it was the No. 1-ranked Spruce Grove Saints who seemed hungrier as they used three powerplay goals to ground the Vernon Vipers 5-2. Game 4 in the best-of-seven series goes tonight at Grant Fuhr Arena, where the Alberta champion Saints are 25-2-0-3 this season. Game 5 is Thursday. Power forward Scott Allen and feisty centre Josh Roper each scored twice for the Saints before just 1,259 fans at Wesbild Centre, where the lounge and corridor TV sets were highly popular during intermissions featuring the Canucks-Blackhawks game. The Vipers, a strong road team who have shown resiliency in the post-season, played their worst game since being stuffed 6-1 by the Salmon Arm SilverBacks in Game 2 of the Interior Conference final series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got our post-game routines so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to stick to that,â&#x20AC;? said Viper d-man Malcolm Lyles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recover, eat, get sleep, drink water, come back, battle another day. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hockey game, you win some, you lose some.â&#x20AC;? Viper head coach Mark Ferner said he was brutally honest in his post-game address, declaring an unacceptable outing by some players and pointing out that the longer the season goes, the harder it becomes to win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappointing, no question,â&#x20AC;? said Ferner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talked about what we felt were all the right things and making sure we had everyone on board and everybody bringing something to the table and it just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there. We just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have everyone going as hard as they can. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And certainly, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good hockey team, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not gonna take anything away from them, but we
know that we can be better. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get this thing done unless we get everyone playing a certain way for 60 minutes.â&#x20AC;? The Saints did a stellar job on the penalty kill, holding the Snakes to one goal on six chances. Spruce Grove was 3-for-4 with the man advantage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we play a very good team game and we have everybody on the same page, that is the strength of our team,â&#x20AC;? said Saintsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach Jason Mckee, an assistant with the team last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot of flashy guys, but we really buy into what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing as a group.â&#x20AC;? McKee knows the two-time defending national champion Vipers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rated No. 9 in Canada â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are far from done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a very good team, very well coached, with lots of skill and lots of speed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fine line between losing at this time of year and we realize that, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to continue to play well.â&#x20AC;? The Saints opened the scoring Sunday on the powerplay at 14:45 of the first period when Allen beat Viper goalie Kirby Halcrow with a wrister along the ice from the high slot one minute into a David Robinson penalty. Defencemen Dustin Fostvelt and Corey Cherneyko drew assists after some rapid puck movement. The Vipers pulled even five minutes later when Robinson converted a corner feed from Bryce Kakoske which bounced off d-man Jesse Slobodianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stick right to a wide open Robinson. Allen, a 6-foot-3, 190-pound winger, literally drove the net and mowed over Halcrow as he skated from the corner and stuffed the puck under the big net detective to put Spruce Grove up 2-1 at 3:41 of the second period. Referees Jeff Ingram and Brett Iverson conferred at the the timekeeperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bench for a few minutes before declaring it a good goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw an opening so I just drove the puck and somehow it went in,â&#x20AC;? said Allen, who will play for the Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves next

Mckee wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised at how determined Allen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; named first star â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was on his controversial goal, his team-high seventh of the playoffs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He finds lots of different ways to score and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a great shot, he uses his big frame to shield guys off and take pucks to the net and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been very good for us lately.â&#x20AC;?

onds into the powerplay, while Josh Keizer scored 36 seconds later, with all kinds of time from the left side of the wide open net. Chorneyko and Fostvelt drew assists. The Vipers pulled to within two when Dane Muench, facing backwards, buried a backhander from six feet out at 9:42. Roper hit an empty netter with 87 seconds left. The Vipers outshot the Saints 29-19 with Vince Marozzi earning the win. While the Saints set a goal of getting to Camrose for the Royal Bank Cup starting April 30, Allen says they are living in the present. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew winning the league was just a stepping stone and also this series was just a stepping stone, but we have to stay focused on the Doyle Cup right now and not get
too far ahead.â&#x20AC;? In Game 2 before 2,513 fans Saturday night, the Vipers got off to a solid start for the second straight night, outshooting the Saints 14-5 in the first period. Lyles opened the scoring with a powerplay goal late in the period, beating Marozzi with a slap shot from outside the blueline. Brett Corkey and Mike Zalewski drew the assists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was cheating, so I just thought I would throw it near the net and he put it in himself,â&#x20AC;? said the explosive-skating blueliner. In the final minute of the first period, Robinson, lingering at Spruce Groveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blueline, took a stretch pass and went in alone on Marozzi (37 saves, first star) but rang his shot off the post.

Danyluk delivers pair Morning Star Staff
Banker Rick Danyluk deposited two goals as the Silver Stars shut down Big O Tire 3-0 in Okanagan Oldtimers 45+ Soccer League play Monday night at Marshall Field #5. Kevin Cowley took a through ball from Rob Bauml and ran 45 yards before finding the net for the Stars’ only goal of the first half. Big O lost Juan O’Quinn for dissent late in the second half after he collided with keeper Ted Lurkins. Ian Murphy powered by a few defenders and fired a shot 15 minutes into the second half with Danyluk just beating keeper Paul Hunter to the rebound. Danyluk went short side for the final goal after a Brian Esau corner. Sweeper Steve Fitzpatrick headed
one Big O chance off the line, while Lurkins made some key saves off Mark Wasylyk and Rueben Cerventes. The Hi Pro Sportswear Camels got goals from Gord Howard and Dave Marshall in a 2-0 win over host Salmon Arm. Howard was set up by Mike Daly and Al Murphy, while Marshall picked off an errant pass and beat the keeper with a rolling shot between the legs. Ron Krause made one tough save off a corner for the shutout. Okanagan Spring Brewery bounced Lake Country FC 3-0 at Marshall #3. Mike Lloyd on a header from a Chris Nielson cross, Nielson, on a cross from Bob Fleming and Lloyd again, on a partial breakaway made it 3-0. Defender Rick Price earned the Wendy’s Man of the Match.

Stinn fires up Jackals Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Jackals jolted the West Kelowna Grizzlies 24-7 in Okanagan Rugby Union action Saturday under howling winds at Grahame Park. The Jackals improved to 2-0 for sole possession of first place in the five-team circuit. Jarrod Stinn anchored the Vernon forwards with his usual aggressive style and scored his first try of the season. “Stinn is a game changer for us,” said veteran Jackal Bryan Bateman. “When he is not in the game, our forward pack is a different team. He’s a great tackler and ball handler. Josh Cooper played an exceptional game, scoring a try in the second half to clinch the victory for us.” Garth Cooke and Dallas Agg also supplied tries for the Jackals, while Pearse Wylie was 2-for-4 on conversions. Bateman gave props to the Grizzlies for pushing
the Jackals hard. “West Kelowna is a young team that is new to the league, and if they continue to play and improve as they have, they are soon to become a team to be reckoned with. A large credit to the Vernon success was our scrum. We were a larger team and we were able to control the ball, had good tackling, and were able to steal some key scrums. “Our backs played great in the open field. first year player/coach Garth Cooke had an exceptional game, making some key tackles, scored a try and helped keep control the flow of the game. Former VSS Panther Dallas Agg scored his first try as a Jackal in a hard fought run. Captain Rob Miles was well impressed with how the younger guys have stepped up to the plate and transitioned well in to the men’s league style of play. Vernon plays host to the Salmon Arm Yetis Saturday, 1 p.m., at Grahame Park.

Switzer boosts Saints’ attack Continued from B1 The Saints played with urgency in the second period as Keizer tested Halcrow’s glove hand 45 seconds into the frame. After Vernon took its second straight penalty in the period, the Saints made them pay as forward Nicholas Bourgeois corralled a loose puck off a face-off and buried it five-hole on Halcrow (26 saves) before he could get set. Spruce Grove’s Brett Switzer, a former Viper, gave his team its first lead in the series when he roofed the rebound off a point shot at 10:25. “He’s a big goalie, so we just got to make sure you put as much on it as you can, as high as you can,” said Switzer, who played half a season with Vernon in the 2008-09 campaign before being traded. “It’s a good feeling being here. Being traded, you always feel like you have something to prove when that happens. A win sure makes that feel better.” The Saints made it 3-1 after Vernon d-man Ryan Renz turned the puck over trying to make an outlet pass at his blueline. Allen (third star) cut into the
slot and fired against the grain, burying his shot just inside the post at 15:18. Patrick McGillis (second star) pulled the Snakes within a goal on the next shift, beating Marozzi through traffic. Ferner liked parts of his team’s play, but wanted a more consistent effort throughout. “You can’t expect to win games at this time of year when you only play parts of 40 minutes,” he said. “It got away from us a little bit. When you’re turning pucks over in the neutral zone, especially against a team like that, odds are you’re going to spend a lot of time in your own end.” The Vipers generated several scoring chances with Halcrow pulled for the extra attacker, the best being a Dylan Walchuk one-timer set up by Bryce Kakoske. We were under siege, but he (Marozzi) held the fort for us,” said Mckee. “We got the compete level back in our game from all the guys. The guys deserved the win tonight; they worked hard.”

U15s roll victories Morning Star Staff
The Vernon United played some inspired soccer last weekend, winning a pair of Thompson/ Okanagan Under 15 Boys Rep League games by a combined score of 9-1. United started off Saturday morning at McDonald Park by bouncing the Kamloops Blaze Orange 6-1. Cameron Hitch, with assists to Zac Kronbauer and Kody Glinsbockel, scored just two minutes in before Kamloops equalized six minutes later after some miscommunication in the Vernon back line. Michael Williamson put Vernon ahead for good at 25 minutes, while Glinsbockel scored 10 minutes later. The scoring continued early in the second half with Kronbauer converting a pass from Hitch. Ryan Killingsworth and Lucas Ross, from Jorden Dewing, rounded out the offence. In the Sunday afternoon match at Marshall Field, United took on the defending provincial champions Penticton Pinnacles and won 3-0 in dominating fashion. Williamson, from Kronbauer and Matthew Kreutz, opened the scoring in the 15th minute. Williamson scored again 12 min-
utes later on a great feed from Liam Ross. Hitch rounded out the scoring on a penalty kick early in the second half after Williamson was taken down in the 18-yard area by a Pinnacle defender. Cole Shoemaker earned the shutout. United received strong defensive play from Shayne Groeneveld, Jason Reich, Isaiah Wenger, Chase Larsen and Dewing. Midfielder Brandon Melbourne was solid. The U-12 Rep Development Silver Star Mountain Lions #2 had to travel through a snowstorm early Sunday morning to play two games at MacArthur Island in Kamloops. The Lions bowed 3-1 to Kelowna United #2 in their opener with Malcolm Wiens converting on a great direct free kick from 25 yards out. The whole team worked hard against an always strong Kelowna team. Coaches Will Wiens and Erick Burnet named defender Kevin Thibault Man of the Match. In Game 2, the Mountain Lions erased an early 2-0 deficit to win 5-3 over Penticton #2. “We started the game a bit unlucky, but we made a few tactical changes and from then we owned the game, creating lots of chances,” said coach Wiens. “The

Mountain Lions fill net Continued from B3 The Mountain Lions had a great chance to win the game, but Jared Quibell’s spectacular shot from 14 yards out was denied only by the goal post. “It was a great effort for the boys”, said Vernon coach Rolf Hirschkorn. “Our goalie Shane Pelkey had an outstanding game in net, denying the Kelowna side a couple of times from close range.” Aaron Botterill was noted for outstanding play of defence, shutting down several Kelowna offensive plays. In Game 2, the Lions grabbed an early 1-0 lead in the seventh minute of play after Weins streaked down the left side and crossed in a ball that was skilfully redirected by Geelkerken into the back of the net from six yards out. Penticton scored four minutes later after a rebound found a lone Pinnacles forward at the far post. Vernon quickly replied in the 17th minute when Josh Hyer crossed a ball into Geelkerken, who coolly struck the ball into the left side of the net. Hyer was again involved in the Vernon offence when he corralled a Penticton goal kick about 25 yards out and one-timed the ball over the keeper to round out the first-half scoring. Weins sealed the deal in the second half when he ran onto an Ondrik goal kick just past centre, beat the defender down the right side and unleashed a howitzer to the short side. Elias Jensen and Christopher Richardson were noted for their strong play at forward and midfield respectively. In U11 Development Rep play Sunday at stormy Beasley Park in Lake Country, both Vernon teams posted a win and a draw. United #2, coached by Roy Cooper, shelled Revelstoke 9-0 after drawing 3-3 with Shuswap. Owen Miller scored four times, including once on a penalty kick, as United beat Revelstoke. Alex Oguunbiyi (2), CJ Storey, Steven Benischek and Braeden Cooper completed the offence. Cooper also had two assists. Adam Raber earned Man of the Match. Oguunbiyi, with a pair, on feeds by Brendan Yakura and Miller, and Daniel Smith, unassisted, registered goals versus Shuswap. Benischek took Man of the Match. Perez Vermeulen supplied three goals as United #1, coached by Kevin Mitchell, iced Revelstoke 7-2. Man of the Match Joe Eggert set up all of Vermeulen’s goals, while scoring once from Leon Schenker and Purvis. Braydie Allen, on a nifty one-timer on a corner by Vermeulen, Purvis from Allen, Cody Webb off a corner by Schenker, and Nick Mitchell on a 15-yard blast, completed the United offence. Eggert, on a pass from Schenker, who had been fed by Purvis, had United’s goal in their tie with Shuswap. Keeper Dylan Huber made some fabulous saves, while Schenker blocked a shot from close range with Shuswap pressing for the go-ahead goal. Finn Plummer ran miles to earn Man of the Match. Aaron Plessis scored for Shuswap. After dominating both games last week and losing, the Vernon United U18 girls turned in a less than stellar performance in a 1-1 tie with the Penticton Pinnacles.
CALENDAR WEDNESDAY
The cold, blustery weather played a part in the game as Penticton came out strong and hit the post twice in the first half. The Pinnacles played numerous through balls and the goalkeeping of Vernon’s Player of the Match Dayna Epp, who stopped four breakaways, kept United in the game. With less than a minute to play in the first half, there was a scramble in the Penticton end and the ball bounced to Kirmen Niijjar, who volleyed it from 20 yards out, under the crossbar for Vernon’s first shot of the half. As expected, Penticton came out strong to start the second half and tied it up in the first five minutes with an impressive shot in the top corner. Shortly after both teams survived a 10-minute hailstorm, Penticton was given a penalty shot on a tripping call and Epp pulled off a fantastic save by diving to her right. In U12 girls play Sunday at Marshall Field, Vernon #1 iced Penticton 2-0 with Kendra Ostafie feeding Cayleigh Graham for the winner and Abby Hughes setting up Graham for insurance. Vernon, coached by Michelle Hughes, then battled another Penticton entry to a scoreless draw. Keeper Caleb Pope was very strong in both games. Vernon #2 beat Shuswap 6-0 and lost 2-1 to Penticton. Goals in the victory came from Ailish Curran, Emma Nesbitt, Alex Drury, Ashley Glinsbockel, Rowie Dunlop and Lexi Jones. Curran, from Glinsbockel, recorded Vernon’s goal against Penticton. Keeper Madison Catt was solid in both games. In U16 girls play Sunday, Vernon United clipped host Penticton 2-1 in wintry conditions. Kate Alexander scored first after some passes from Tessa Coulthard and Danielle Butler. In the second half, Danielle Jackson, with a strong pass from Coulthard, made it 2-0. Rookie Janelle Cole proved to be a strong defensive addition and midfielder Dory Geelkerken made amazing passes.

Sports Rocks win, tie
Eagle nets Wurz a TV
Morning Star Staff
Continuing their hot streak from the recent Shamrocks Senior Ice Breaker Tournament, the Armstrong Shamrocks improved their undefeated pre-season play with a win and a tie in the sixth annual Archie Jack Memorial Ice Breaker Saturday. The Junior Shamrocks opened with a comeback 7-5 victory over the Vernon Re/Max Tigers as the outstanding rookie combination of Owen Barker (3) and Brett Hawrys awoke to punish the Tigers with five goals between them. “I am really impressed with our team’s focus and intensity and our skills on offence and defence should make us very competitive every night,” said Rocks’ coach Pat Nelson. “Our team is young but our speed and skills and floor sense match any veteran team and we just need to work hard every game as a team and we should have success like we did against Vernon.” In their second game, the Rocks tied the defending junior B league champion Kamloops Venom 2-2 with great special teams leading to shorthanded goals by rookies Cam Nelson and Willy Hanley. “We were a little frustrated by Kamloops’ chippy play in that game but we had to rise above that and focus on playing the game, our team can compete against anyone as long as we focus on our style, use our speed and skills and take advantage of our opponents’ mistakes,” said Nelson.

Prospects camp draws 80 Morning Star Sports
It is a dilemma many B.C. Hockey League organizations would kill for – having to plan for next season while being in the midst of a playoff drive. That has been the case the last three seasons for the Vernon Vipers as they hosted their annual spring prospects camp while simultaneously trying to record a third straight national Junior A title. A field of about 80 Viper hopefuls, including many Vernon minor hockey products, attended the camp last weekend as the Snakes were busy hosting the Spruce Grove Saints in Games 1 and 2 of the Doyle Cup regional championship series. “No question, it was a long weekend, but we spent time there,” said Vipers’ head coach Mark Ferner. “There were some good, young kids there that will have an opportunity to play here, whether it’s this year (2011-12) or next year.” One of Vernon’s greatest off-season concerns will come on the blue line where veterans Adam Thompson, Stevie Weinstein and Malcolm Lyles are all heading off to play NCAA Division 1 next fall. Ferner has already addressed the situation somewhat with the signing of coveted blueliner Geoff Crisfield of the Calgary Major Midget Royals last month, but knows more additions are needed. “We have some guys identified now. It’s just a matter of making sure we’re looking after what we’re doing right now, and then trying to fill some spots with guys leaving.” The spring camp, which featured numerous 16-year-olds, also gave Vernon’s scouting staff a look at future prospects that won’t be ready for another year or two. “Depending on the age of the kids, they come for different reasons and the feedback that we got was that they enjoyed it and it was a great experience,” said Ferner. Meanwhile, several Midget-age players from Vernon attended the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League North Okanagan Knights’ prospect camp last weekend in Winfield. The Knights have replaced head coach Sylvan Leone with last year’s assistant Kris Mallette, 32, a former Kelowna Rocket and Moose Jaw Warriors who spent nine years playing defence in the minor leagues. He was a third-round Philadelphia Flyer draft pick in 1997.
Another Osoyoos Rattlesnake Open, another 50-inch TV for Justin Wurz. The 20-year-old Fulton grad recorded an eagle-2 Sunday to win a three-man playoff and the top prize in a field of 150. “I hit a lob wedge from 100 yards,” chuckled Wurz. “It was a blind hole and apparently it landed about six feet from the cup and spun in the hole.” Wurz, who sports a plus-2 handicap, finished with a 4-under 68 Saturday after shooting 76 in a rain-marred round Saturday, where he was 5-over after four holes. He had nines of 34-34 Sunday. “I was just driving it well and hitting my irons,” said Wurz, a

Okanagan College offers comprehensive esthetician training in certificate program

CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Some of the Coldstream Meadows residents didn’t know manicures and pedicures could feel so good until they had the treatments from the Okanagan College Esthetician Certificate Program students. “I enjoy it so much. My feet haven’t had so much attention ever,” said Joyce Halford, as she relaxed with a pedicure from student Amanda Guiltner. The students, who graduate this week, were doing the free services for the residents as a community outreach. “This is the second year we’ve had the program in Vernon and we will do the outreach again next year, maybe extending it. The residents are so grateful,” said program instructor Candace Timm, owner of Essential Elements Day Spa in Vernon. Hand and foot care is just one of the things students learn in the intense eightmonth program which includes classroom and practical work in the Spa Training Centre that has been set up at the college and is open to the public at reduced prices September to April. The students also learn make up and skin care, reflexology, waxing, various forms of massage, and the operation of esthetic equipment used in salons and spas. They had field trips to the Spa Trade Show in Vancouver and the Vancouver Science Centre to study anatomy as well as guest speakers on topics like expectations in the workplace and a module on business skills needed if they want to set up their own businesses. “The program was great. We had a fantastic teacher and that helps a lot, she went over and above for us. We leave feeling confident and prepared for the workplace,” said student Sheila Wicks. Student Natasha Bujold said she has felt it was very helpful to learn which

We have been able to help them with some tips about foot care,” she said. Caleeda Ross is a student who had done two years of a social work degree. “Through social work I can help make people feel happy on the inside and through esthetics I can help make them feel happy on the outside. The foot care is particularly important for seniors because if their feet hurt and they have trouble walking it can lead to loss of independence.” Graduation is both a happy and a sad time. “It has been exciting to see the students come in and learn. I enjoy seeing their bright eyes when they get a concept they have been struggling with. They are all
very encouraging to each other. I love my students and I’m proud of them and I’ll be available for them if they have questions after they are working,” said Timm. Registration for the Esthetician Certificate Program starting in September and running full-time days until April are being taken now. There is also a Nail Technician Certificate Program that runs from September to January full-time evenings. Both programs are eligible for government student loans and bursaries/ awards. There will be an information session for high school students in May and a public information session in June as part of the Okanagan College general course information presentation. For more information and registration call Okanagan College at 250-545-7291. Apply for certificate programs online at www.okanagan.bc.ca/apply.
Dahlias are impressive
kanagan Gardens and Roses’ last meeting April 11 was a very good one. We were treated to an excellent show put on by one of our members who had spent some time in Peru and Bolivia. We were given a history lesson and a geography lesson showing Fred Lyall some spectacular pictures of the home of the Incas. It was interesting to compare the difference with the way they garden and what we have to work with: what a contrast. It is now time to start planning what we want to plant. There is an item that
$
will do well in planters or flower beds, and is called osteospurmum. I like a white one with a blue centre. Osteos come in several colours: they are full sun or semi-shade, with no aphids or mildew. If you are planning to plant any dahlias in your garden, you can plant the tubers now. They can be planted fairly deep: four inches or a little deeper, and they will not be above ground before all danger of frost is passed. It is a good idea to place a stake in the planting area. Dahlias are affected very much by wind. Do not plant dahlias on the south side of a building as they do not enjoy hot sun: they should be planted where good air circulation is possible. Dahlias can produce huge flowers, and I actually saw a dahlia 15 inches in diameter. They
are also available as small as two inches in diameter. They are available in a range of styles: formal, informal, cactus type and of course the miniatures. Gladioli can be planted fairly soon and the weather should be warmed up by the time they are up. When you plant dahlias and gladioli, mix a heaping tablespoon of bone meal in the area and mix it into the soil. It is not a bad idea to prepare a mix for the planting area of 40 to 50 per cent peat moss, 10 to 15 per cent sand, 30 to 35 per cent garden soil. A little well-rotted compost can be used as a cover to add plant food. Very soon we will see the annual cut flower show. Irises are one of the best cut flowers in so many colours and sizes.

Regardless what the weather will bring, Easter is this coming Sunday and Easter dinner, for many, will include a traditional baked ham. There are countless varieties of glazes to use for enhancing ham and today Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sharing one I particularly like.

Naturalists keep their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;WiTSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; about them PAM JENKINS Special to The Morning Star
The North Okanagan Naturalistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Club recently welcomed guest speaker Lisa Scott to speak about the Wildlife Tree Stewardship Program, also known as WiTS. The voluntary program conserves wildlife tree habitats through volunteer monitoring, landowner agreements and community education. WiTS was first established on Vancouver Island through the Federation of BC Naturalists and has recently expanded to include the Lower Mainland and OkanaganSimilkameen, but not yet the North OkanaganShuswap area. Cavity-nesting birds use wildlife trees for their homes and they are important habitat for a wide variety of species. Dead wildlife trees have sometimes been seen as a hazard and removed, but often these trees do not pose any danger. Other trees have been removed by developers. There are ways to develop around wildlife trees and some developers have left designated trees which, in many cases, have provided homes for our areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wildlife. Up to this point 113 Lewisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; woodpecker nest sites have been observed through the
WiTS program. Almost half of these sites were re-occupied a year later and a few taken over by competing cavity-nesters including American Kestrels and European Starlings. In Vernon, herons
return each year to the heronry not far from Walmart. That heronry used to be at Otter Lake, but for unknown reasons the herons relocated several years ago. As a result, many of our citizens are familiar with the herons and their home in our city. There are also many bald eagles around Coldstream Ranch and other local areas using the cottonwoods and other trees for their homes. This is the season that they are incu-
bating their eggs and soon a new generation of eagles and herons will call the North Okanagan home. The North Okanagan Naturalistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Club (NONC) meets on the first Wednesday of the month from September to May. There are often weekend birding trips, Thursday hiking/cross country skiing events and summer field trips. For more information, please check out our website at www. nonc.ca or call us at 250-545-0490.
Preheat oven to 400 F. Sift together rice flour, potato starch, baking powder, xantham gum, salt and 1 tbsp. sugar. Whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil and milk mixture in a separate bowl; then pour into dry sifted ingredients and blend well. Grease wax paper with a little spray or oil;
place dough on paper and flatten to about 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Lightly butter the dough. Blend cinnamon, 1/2 cup sugar and raisins in another bowl, then sprinkle the mixture evenly on top of the dough. Start with one edge and roll dough to form a long tube shape. Slice
roll every 2-inches and place each, swirl side up, in a greased muffin or cupcake pan. Bake 15 to 20 minutes. While buns are baking, mix together your topping. Icing should just be able to flow so add a little more milk if necessary. Remove rolls from oven and drizzle icing onto hot rolls. Enjoy.

Festival celebrates winter season Morning Star Staff
Thirty athletes from Special Olympics BC Vernon enjoyed a fun-filled day at Silver Star Mountain Resort last month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was our first Winter Festival. It was a huge success and with the support of Silver Star it all went very smoothly,â&#x20AC;? said Perry Doner, local program coordinator. With heavy snow falling, Brewers Pond was transformed into a magical scene. Groups of athletes enjoyed cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, skating and tubing. For most of them this was the first time to get up to the mountain and try a new sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to get people with an intellectual
disability out into the fresh air, being active and starting a new sport, which will lead to competitions throughout B.C. and ultimately the world,â&#x20AC;? said regional manager Leslie Thornley. Special Olympics BC Vernon provides sports programs for individuals of all ages with intellectual disabilities. More than 100 athletes are enrolled in more than 14 different sports who train and compete throughout the year. The society strives to enrich lives, and celebrates personal achievement through positive sport experiences. Summer sports start up this month and there is still room for athletes in soccer, track and field, softball, bocce and golf. For more information, please see www.sobcvernon.ca or call 250-503-0091.
Book explores journey through grief Morning Star Staff
To connect with a loved one after death is a familiar experience for many people who have lost a loved one. In her book, Soul-Link, author Alida Hilbrander keeps this connection going and in doing so continues to receive insights from her husband Bill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When loved ones pass over into another dimension they continue to grow in light, and, when we render ourselves receptive to their growth, our lives will be enriched as well,â&#x20AC;? she writes. Soul-Link is the personal narrative of an ever growing soul connection that had its beginnings when the author and her husband lived together; a significant relationship that not only applies to spouses, but to children, family, and friends. For that reason this book is for readers who are living their soul connection now and wish to continue and enhance nonseparation. Although this is a story of transitioning loss, it is through its meditations and reflections that the book
transcends into a journey of gratitude where the pain of grief has lost its wounding. Soul-Link features 36 beautiful grey-scale photographs of ocean and coastal scenes by Peter Niclas Kellogg,
which depict natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harmony with humanity, its comforting presence. The book is further enhanced with the poetry by the authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Antony Van Mansum. Hilbrander will be
at Bookland in Vernon May 7 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., where she will sign copies of her book. She welcomes people to come and talk about their experiences and browse through the book.

SUMMER GRANT GIVEAWAY!
April 30th is just around the corner. If you are self-employed or commission sales etc. with lots of receipts it is time to either sort them yourself into categories or make sure your tax specialist has them to sort for you so that your return can be completed in time. Although, technically, self employed persons have until June 15th to file, any taxes owing must be paid by April 30th to avoid interest, so it makes sense to file the return by this deadline. If you are using a bookkeeper, then all postings should be up to date by now with your financial statements ready for tax preparation. Remember that debit receipts cannot be used alone, you must have the invoice or till receipt showing what was purchased. Receipts including any personal items on them need to be highlighted and the personal items removed.

• North Okanagan residents’ water consumption doubles in the summer months. One way to reduce your consumption is by installing a drip irrigation system. • Idling your vehicle for 10 minutes a day uses up more than 100 litres of gasoline in a year. • Enjoy locally produced foods. The first outdoor Farmer’s Market of the season is this Thursday, April 21. • Reduce pesticide use in the yard and garden by placing a thick layer of organic mulch to limit weed growth. • Compostable materials make up roughly 40% of typical household waste. Trim the trash you toss and start composting today! • Cool your home affordably by installing a ceiling fan and window shades. Planting shade trees also helps and they look great in your yard while helping clean the air. • 65% of CO2 emissions in the Okanagan are from transportation.

In the years to follow, Tom and his cousin Charles established Farrer Rentals in 1974, which they ran successfully until their retirement in 2006. Tom has since enjoyed participating in Lions events, the Lions student exchange, and fundraising in the construction industry for the Vernon Hospice House. Most of all Tom has enjoyed spending time with his amazing grandchildren at his favourite spot on the Arrow Lakes. Tom was a humble man, who worked tirelessly with great integrity and honour. He will be sorely missed by his many family and friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rest in peace Tom.â&#x20AC;?
