Vernon antes up for ranch bill RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A sudden flow of cash may keep O’Keefe Ranch from having to dig deep for an outstanding bill. Vernon council decided Tuesday to contribute $12,000 towards fees the historic site has not paid the North Okanagan Regional District for a water line. “The finance committee will find a source for the funds and let’s get the water turned on,” said Coun. Bob Spiers. The line was constructed last year to improve water pressure for fire protection, but NORD has refused to connect the system because of hook-up fees. NORD states the fees could range from $13,000 to $17,000.
The regional district says it has no ability to waive the fees so member jurisdictions have been asked to contribute funds towards the fees. Once that occurs, the ranch would be responsible for the remainder. Coldstream is giving $600 while $2,500 is coming from Areas B and C. With the city’s grant, there may be nothing left of the bill for the ranch to cover. Most other North Okanagan jurisdictions have decided not to participate. That has upset Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe, who insists the city-owned ranch preserves local history and enhances the economy. “To pretend it’s a Vernon issue is complete crap,” said O’Keefe. O’Keefe also took aim at NORD for
charging fees in the first place. “Volunteer labour has done the whole thing (install the line) and this devalues volunteer labour. They are told to be selfsufficient and then we hold them back,” she said of the regional district’s actions. “Because of bipartisan politics, it’s being held up.” Mayor Wayne Lippert defended NORD staff for following bylaws that state fees can’t be waived. “Staff is doing its job and treating them like a developer,” he said, But that explanation still didn’t sit well with O’Keefe. “It’s a non-profit society and to treat them the same as a developer is interesting,” she said.
Plans for a transit terminal have shifted out of neutral and are driving ahead. In a 4-2 vote Tuesday, council gave the green light to Vernon’s main transit terminus being constructed on 31st Avenue next to Cenotaph Park. “It will add vibrancy to the park,” said Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe. The concept was originally presented to council March Mary-Jo O’Keefe 30 but it was deferred so more details could be provided about the potential impact to the park and whether other locations would be suitable. Coun. Buffy Baumbrough expects a transit depot will lead to more people using Cenotaph Park. “When you’re waiting for the bus with your kids, you will have a nice greenspace,” she said. However, not everyone is convinced this is the best route. “It’s about the vision and downtown, greenspace is limited,” said Coun. Patrick Nicol. Construction of the terminus will require some land from the park and two 70-year-old trees will be removed. “To try and revive an area by where buses go to, I don’t get that,” said Nicol. Besides Nicol, opposition came from Coun. Bob Spiers, who says downtown redevelopment plans, such as residential housing, should occur first. “It’s premature,” he said of the transit terminal. “It could have waited a couple of years and we could have made sure that was the right spot.” Mayor Wayne Lippert voted in favour of the terminus but he has some reservations about idling buses infringing on the park. “Staff makes it difficult when they say we need more greenspace but then they want to put transit in the middle of greenspace,” he said. “I’m not opposed to it being there, but I want to make sure it’s done right.” Construction of the terminus — which will lead that portion of 31st Avenue being closed to through-traffic — is expected to begin this summer. Coun. Jack Gilroy supported the terminus while Coun. Shawn Lee was absent.

News Police seize weapons in takedown ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
What began April 21 as a shots fired complaint in Coldstream ended with police guns drawn, a truck stopped on Highway 6 and two suspects in custody. Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP received a complaint at 6 p.m. of a pick-up truck with occupants carelessly and illegally discharging a firearm near residences and cattle pasture on the King Edward Forest Service Road. “The witness and complainant observed and heard the discharging of the firearm with all observations being relayed to the Vernon RCMP with respect to the whereabouts and description of the vehicle,� said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Gerry Kovacs. “At one point the vehicle fled when the occupants noticed that they were being observed.� The pick-up truck drove onto Highway 6 and headed towards Vernon, and Kovacs said the vehicle was observed driving in an unsafe manner and was seen passing other vehicles cars on double- solid lines at one point. The truck was intercepted by members in marked police cars, and who had their guns drawn, on Highway 6 between 15th Street and Aberdeen Road.
ANDY KING PHOTO
Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP members have their guns drawn on a pick-up truck on Highway 6 above Hillview Golf Course April 21. The police stopped a truck whose occupants were believed to have illegally discharged a firearm in Coldstream. Police seized weapons and alcohol from the vehicle, and arrested the two male occupants. A search of the vehicle located a Russian-made 7.62 mm SKS rifle and dozens of rounds of ammunition along with several spent casings. Officers also seized an amount of beer found in the vehicle. The officers had grounds to
demand a roadside breath sample from the male driver, 30, from Vernon, who provided two samples, which police report were above the legal limit. The man was issued a 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition
with vehicle impoundment. The passenger, a 23-year-old Vernon man, is the registered owner of the rifle. He is facing a charge of careless use of a firearm and possession of weapons dangerous to the public peace.
“Officers also observed and seized a bayonet, which was affixed to the rifle allegedly being discharged,� said Kovacs. “As a result of the investigation the individual had to surrender four firearms, which included a lowcalibre handgun along with his firearms license. The investigation is ongoing and a firearms ban is being sought on this individual.� The highway was closed for about 15 minutes during the takedown. Police believe the matter is a case of a couple of individuals making a bad choice to combine alcohol and firearms. “I don’t know where these individuals get off on thinking they can just go drink and shoot off guns,� said Kovacs. “This is not something we can condone as police. It’s outrageous behaviour. I don’t know what else to say. It thoroughly disturbs me.� Kovacs said police did not know the intention of what the individuals were shooting at, but they don’t believe the pair meant to cause any harm or destruction. “I think these persons were just not thinking, they got caught and will be dealt with,� said Kovacs.
Proposed downtown barrier could block business traffic RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A major change to traffic patterns in downtown Vernon could leave motorists hitting a dead-end. As part of the ultimate 25th Avenue extension, changes will be made to the intersection of 30th Avenue and 28th Street this summer. A centre median on 30th Avenue will prevent left turns from 28th Street. “There have been some accidents associated with left turns,� said Amanda Watson, transportation technician,
adding the goal is to improve safety. Full support comes from Coun. Jack Gilroy. “That’s pretty scary in there some days, especially when they (vehicles) speed,� he said of trying to cross 30th Avenue. However, Coun. Patrick Nicol isn’t convinced the plan is necessary. “I’ve never seen anything happen there,� he said, adding that such a move could make it difficult for the public to access adjacent businesses.
“Can’t there be any consideration for them?� Mayor Wayne Lippert is concerned that a median on 30th Avenue will force drivers to find other routes to get around, and the area at St. James School could become more congested than it already is. “It’s imperative to have a light at 27th Street and 27th Avenue,� he said. In a letter to council, Heirlooms Antiques and Collectables has raised concerns about the median and the ban on left-hand turns.
“Our business depends on a great amount of traffic from 30th Avenue,� said owner Taylor Saunders. “To cut this access, cuts off business. Perhaps you don’t care, obviously as none of you shop here, but we care.� Saunders doesn’t believe the median will enhance safety, particularly for pedestrians. “A great amount of congestion will occur and with that, road rage,� he said. “If this barrier does go in on 30th Avenue, it will

not contribute to pedestrian safety but rather potential harm. The more barriers and signs there are in place, the more visual candy there. Therefore, they (driver) may not be taking note of the pedestrian.� Saunders questions if the fire department has been consulted about the median and the narrowing of 30th Avenue at the intersection. “If traffic becomes blocked due to these barriers and calmers when an
emergency vehicle needs to pass, this may well result in a very sad situation indeed,� he said.

Police seeking witnesses of Easter weekend crashes ROGER KNOX
RCMP continue to investigate a pair of serious holiday weekend accidents in the North Okanagan. One involved a search for a driver of car that went off Highway 97A at Eastside Road in Grindrod and struck a railway traffic light Friday at 5:30 a.m. The driver, believed to be a man, fled the scene on foot while a female passenger in the vehicle suffered serious injuries. She was dealt with at the scene by emergency services personnel, then transported to Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “It was about four hours later that police located the suspected driver and he was arrested at a residence in Enderby,” said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Gerry Kovacs. “Alcohol is believed to be a factor in this incident.” The male suspect, 32, from Enderby, is facing a charge of
at 7 a.m. on Highway 97A at Pleasant Valley Road in Spallumcheen. The 31-year-old female driver from Salmon Arm, the lone occupant of the vehicle, went off the road. The vehicle went down an embankment and through a fence. The driver was ejected from the vehicle, which police said rolled numerous times. The driver sustained serious life-threatening injuries and was transported to Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Her condition improved to the point she was transferred to Kelowna General Hospital and underwent surgery for her injuries. As of Monday, police say the woman was listed in serious but stable condition, but was able to talk to police. “She had gone in critical, got her stabilized and won’t transport until they get to that stage, so that’s a good thing,” said Kovacs. Any witnesses to the crash are asked to call the Armstrong RCMP detachment at 250-546-3028.
“It was about four hours later that police located the suspected driver.”
Morning Star Staff
— Gerry Kovacs criminal negligence causing bodily harm. The passenger was taken to VJH with serious, but nonlife-threatening, injuries. Any witnesses to this incident are asked to call the Enderby RCMP at 250-838-6818. Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP and the B.C. Ambulance Service also responded to a single-vehicle accident Saturday
Year-long advisory lifted RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A boil water notice has been lifted for some Coldstream residents after a year. Twenty-five homes that were put on a boil water advisory March 23, 2010 have now been removed from the East Kalamalka Lake intake. They are now receiving their water from the Duteau Creek source. “The intake at East Kal is not that great,” said Gyula Kiss, a Greater Vernon Advisory Committee director. “It’s six metres deep there and next to it is an inflow from storm sewage. Also, for people closest to the intake, there wasn’t enough time for chlorination.” The East Kal intake was treated by chlorine only and did not meet the Interior Health Authority’s objective for water quality improvement.
The change of water source will affect a total of 473 connections or about 1,000 residents in Coldstream. While Kiss believes there may be a sentimental attachment to the Kal Lake source, he says most customers should be pleased with Duteau Creek since a new treatment plant opened last year. “It’s clear and most palatable,” he said of Duteau water. However, those being switched over will experience a change in the hardness of their water. Duteau Creek water is soft at around 19 milligrams per litre as calcium carbonate while Kalamalka Lake is around 170 milligrams per litre as calcium carbonate. As of Friday, the East Kal Lake intake will no longer be used for domestic water use and will be designated for irrigation activities.

A line of voters wait their turn to cast their ballots at the Schubert Centre Monday for the final day of advance voting prior to Monday’s federal election.
Voters pack early-bird polls JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
A steady stream of voters turned out to cast their choices at advance polls for the federal election. “In OkanaganShuswap it was quite heavy on Friday, it was steady on Saturday and quite heavy on Monday,” said Susan Friend, with Elections Canada. Lineups over at the Schubert Centre, one polling station, wrapped around the front desk and down the hall to the washrooms Monday as early birds made their picks in advance of Monday’s federal election. The exact number of votes cast was not available by The Morning Star’s deadline. But it is hoped there will be a better overall turnout than the last election – which had the lowest voter turnout in Canada’s history of 58.8 per cent.
“It was quite heavy on Friday, it was steady on Saturday and quite heavy on Monday.” — Susan Friend During the last federal election in 2008, 6,414 votes were cast in the OkanaganShuswap advance polls While Elections
Canada is always hopeful for higher voter turnouts, the advance numbers do not necessarily mean more people will be exercising

Stronger voice needed
T
here’s no reason to doubt MLA Eric Foster when he says Vernon Jubilee Hospital is “high on my priority list.” He’s been pushing the bureaucracy behind the scenes and even got Health Minister Mike de Jong to make a stop at the hospital, which is consistently over-capacity. However, it would be nice if there was some passion. Has he publicly stated that current conditions are unacceptable and demanded that acute acre beds be added immediately? Where are the conRichard Rolke cerns that patients could be placed at risk as they are stacked up in corridors? Prior to being elected MLA, Foster was mayor of Lumby and North Okanagan Regional District chairperson. He wasn’t afraid to make some noise if he felt it was beneficial for his constituents. Government officials didn’t get an easy ride. But now that he is our representative in Victoria, there appears to be less fight. He says he’s “doing everything possible to find more space for beds,” but on the other hand, he justifies the government’s lack of action by insisting “there’s limited money” and other pressures on provincial coffers. Of course there’s no denying that other towns across B.C. want to access limited financial resources, but that’s quite frankly irrelevant when it comes to the needs of the North Okanagan. Foster — and Shuswap MLA George Abbott for that matter — is supposed to be focused on the home front. It was a task he acknowledged just days before being sworn into office in June 2009. “Why I am going there is to represent the
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
concerns of Vernon-Monashee,” he said of the Legislature. And that should mean casting party loyalty aside if challenging the status quo is truly in the best interest of your community. Obviously, Foster wouldn’t be very popular with his colleagues but what are they going to do, fire him? And even if he did get the boot from caucus, think of the storm that would create. The media would be in a feeding frenzy over an MLA being punished because he took a stand that favoured constituents and not his political masters. It’s a public relations fiasco the Liberals would want to avoid, so there would be no official repercussions for Foster doing what is right. Local physicians have dire warnings about the crisis facing them and other health care workers. “Overcrowding continues and will continue. All of the problems won’t be solved when the tower doors open,” said Dr. Chris Cunningham, who wants funds committed so two vacant floors in the new tower can become acute care wards. “The overcrowding clearly leads to compromised patient care, emergency room congestion, overcrowding, cancelled surgeries and increased infection transmissions.” Foster has certainly played a critical role behind the scenes in making de Jong aware of conditions. But that pressure must be stepped up a notch. He needs to stand in solidarity with physicians, nurses and residents and to find his voice. The first step could be walking into the Legislature wearing a purple ribbon to indicate his support for VJH and that he wants code purples to end. Perhaps he could hand the ribbons out to de Jong and Premier Christy Clark.
So, this was supposed to be another of those rebuilding years for the Vernon Vipers. Actually, doesn’t every year in Vernon seem like a rebuilding year, what with the amount of talent that comes to the North Okanagan to play for, arguably, the B.C. Hockey League’s most storied franchise, and then leave after one, maybe two seasons? Well, guess what? The Vipers, the two-time defending BCHL, Doyle Cup (B.C.-Alberta) and Royal Bank Cup Canadian champions rebuilt themselves into a third straight national championship tournament, starting this Saturday in Camrose, Alta. The Vipers, led by head coach Mark Ferner and assistant Jason Williamson, did what no other junior hockey franchise in B.C. or Alberta has done, win a third straight Doyle Cup Sunday in Spruce Grove, Alta., defeating the hometown Saints, the nationally ranked no. 1 team, 4-2 in game seven. It’s the second straight year the Vipers knocked off the Saints in seven games for the right to go to the Royal Bank Cup tournament, a tournament Vernon franchises have fared quite well at. This will be the ninth appearance in the national final tournament for a Vernon team, whose overall record is 6-2 including gold medals in the last four appearances. No reason to think that, under Ferner’s guidance, they can’t make it lucky seven. Clearly, the Vipers are a junior A hockey dynasty. Since 1999, they’ve been in nine BCHL finals, winning five times. If they don’t win in Camrose, there’s no shame. After all, they weren’t supposed to get out of their own division in B.C. this year, what with that rebuilding going on and everything.

Prison not the answer
T
here is one big problem with the proposal for a prison in Lumby and that is it is being imposed from the top down. It never was a demand of the citizens of Lumby and surrounding area. But we are to believe that because the initiative is being pushed by our mayor, acting as an agent of the government, that it somehow reflects the will of the citizens. The other problem is that a prison is not true economic development. Economic development implies productive activity that uses human and natural resources to create employment and to advance progress. But a prison represents a black hole for the productive wealth of the country. A prison is a punitive institution that uses our tax money to deal with the symptoms of a failed society. We should instead look to the root of the problem and begin to seriously deal with the cause of minor delinquency instead of locking away such offenders. For Lumby this means using and maximizing its inherent strengths such as its forest resource, its agricultural
PRISON A POSITIVE I am surprised at the wild comments which a few people on the No Jail side are presenting in the hope of creating fear among our citizens. Many of these adverse comments are based on out-of-context statements or are complete fabrications. Why not look at the positive side of this divisive issue? Jobs – While most of the jobs within the jail will be filled by people outside of Lumby, many residents here will also be hired. The jail will provide an excellent opportunity for our youths to be trained and employed there rather than leaving our community for employment elsewhere. Let’s face it – Lumby is too small to fill all the jobs – of course most employees must come from outside but then many of them may also relocate here in our village. The construction of this jail will provide good employment for many of our citizens. Those construction jobs will also provide much secondary revenue - even the No side should recognize that Lumby will benefit from their spending on supplies, food, gasoline, and much more. Taxes – The annual “Grant-inLieu” that this jail will provide equals the taxes from 440 new homes, a considerable amount which Lumby drastically needs to help with sharing the costs of our infrastructure
resource, its tourist attractions and other such strengths. For the province this means to stop selling out our natural resources and giving away our collective jobcreating and revenue-producing infrastructure to foreign corporations. I'm talking about such things as hydro develop-
up-grading. It has been said that the government can suddenly withdraw these grants but this has never happened in British Columbia and would be politically unwise. Unsightly – Some comments conclude that the jail will be unsightly. In contrast, it has also been stated that it will be the most attractive building in Lumby. Just look at the drawings and one will quickly agree with this latter view. Safety – If the No side had visited the Kamloops jail and community as they had been invited to do, they would have seen that there is no safety problem, a view expressed by school officials and residents surrounding that jail. Citizens of Lumby and the surrounding area have been and continue to be given every opportunity to have all their questions answered and nothing is being hidden. A Yes vote on the referendum is the most logical step to ensure that Lumby has a future, that our youths will be able to find employment right at home, and that the current residents will not have to face an increasing tax burden to keep our aging infrastructure from becoming obsolete. On April 30, vote Yes for the jail and the future of a progressive Lumby. Keith Milne
ELECTION FEVER Wow! We sure have a lot of elections around here. We’ll have a provincial one soon because Campbell's arrogance was too much for BCers and for his own obedient caucus. We’re in a federal election because Harper was incapable of working with other parties, and after making every major decision an election trigger his contemptuousness became too much. Now we have to choose. We have the Greens who try to appeal to the left and right implying that we can fight climate change at no collective cost and can lower taxes. We have the Liberals who need more 'time out' from their arrogant ways and to create a coherent identity. We have the arrogant and contemptuous Conservatives who present themselves as stewards of the economy; the ones last to notice a global economic crisis, that have us in the largest budget deficit in history, and which takes credit for avoiding an economic crash though the regulations that prevented it have been present for many years. This corporate party won't use tax dollars for a national daycare program or to enhance the CPP for seniors, but will spend tens of billions on fighter jets, prisons and
ment, natural oil reserves, mining resources and forestry resources. We should not allow ourselves to be blinded by the promise of instant jobs through false economic activity. Another disturbing trend is that we are expanding and intensifying a police state by building more prisons. The U.S. is said to have the highest per capita rate of incarceration in the developed world and Canada, as it is being politically and economically integrated into a continental super state with the U.S. and Mexico, is being dragged along the same trend line. We need to get hold of sovereign and democratic control of our country. This means direct control by the people. Following the agenda of the high levels of government only takes us further away from people control and into more and deeper corporate control. We can begin by giving a strong and definite no to a Lumby prison. Don Nordin
more corporate tax cuts. Canada is losing its traditional balance of a healthy business sector, an effective public sector and community social interests. Then there is the NDP; the lot that introduced us to universal health care, EI, Workers Compensation, old age security, the 40-hour work week and more; all programs that enhance our economy and our quality of life. The corporate media, though, tells us the NDP are not contenders and would ruin the economy. That’s for voters to decide. Where we have elected the NDP, provincially, the track record on the economy is quite good. Check it out. As one interested in ‘democracy’ I’ve never seen our incumbent. The local NDP candidate told me she would have regular town-hall meetings so we can speak to Ottawa instead of just hearing from Ottawa. And she said she would not only lobby other parties, but her own too. That’s democracy. Instead of voting again for the white cats or the black cats we mere mice should vote for real change.

Big night out for music KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff

t took a Vernon musician to stop a clean sweep by a certain Salmon Arm soul machine at Saturday’s B.C. Interior Music Awards in Kelowna. Andrew Allen picked up Single of the Year for his hit Not Loving You (which recently reached No. 36 on the U.S. Top Adult Contemporary music charts), beating out Greg Sczebel and Kelowna’s Leah West. He was also recognized with the 2011 Special Achievement Award. The Epic Records signed artist appeared at the awards show via video from Chicago, where he has been continuing on his radio promotional tour across the States. “It’s moments like these that I truly feel honoured to be recognized by the community I’m from for the achievements I’ve accomplished up to this point,” said Allen, who emailed The Morning Star from Baltimore Tuesday. “My family and my friends have been so supportive, as well as all the people that have simply loved the music! I feel stoked to be able to represent such a wonderful place while touring in the U.S., and I’m looking forward to getting back to perform.” Sczebel, who won a Juno for Christian/Gospel Album of the Year last month, took home eight of the nine BCIMAs he was nominated for including Album of the Year (for Love & the Lack Thereof) and Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year. He was also picked up to perform at this year’s Rarearth Music Festival, taking place atop Silver Star Mountain July 23 and 24. Nominated in two of the same categories as Sczebel was Vernon’s Jodi Pederson, who couldn’t make the ceremony as she is currently in Australia. “It was an honour for her to be in same category as Greg Sczebel,” said her mother Helma Pederson, who kept her daughter informed about the evening’s progression via text. “She’s learned a lot from this, and for her to get three nominations (including People’s Choice, which went to West) was a big step.”

Classic gets a new re-telling Vernon Film Society
Moviegoers who are wondering what to do after voting and before election results come out have a great opportunity to attend Vernon Film Society’s next show Monday, May 2. Jane Eyre has been made into a movie or TV show approximately 20 times, and though all based on Charlotte Bronte’s novel, each one gives us the story in a slightly different way. This newest version is a feast for the eyes and stars some superb actors. Mia Wasikowska (The Kids are Alright, Alice in Wonderland) shows her early training as a dancer when conveying every emotion.
Michael Fassbender (Inglorious Basterds) is a suitably brooding Rochester, whose piercing tormented eyes immediately intrigue and also repel the young Jane. The story is told in flashback fashion, starting with Jane wandering the moors in sorrow and being picked up by a kindly pastor (Jamie Bell, now all grown up after his early success as Billy Elliott). The movie goes back to Jane’s early brutal childhood and terrible days in a girls’ school before coming to Thornfield Hall and meeting Rochester. Great supporting performances are turned in by the ever versatile Judi Dench and

Sally Hawkins who filmgoers will recall recently in the much enjoyed movie Made in Dagenham. Jane Eyre was directed by Cary Fukunaga and, as one critic says, “He engrosses himself and his actors in the cloaked gloom of the era, stirring up the passion and life that’s been there all along in Charlotte Bronte’s story.... Just a great story impeccably shot and acted, and a film impossible to shake.” Jane Eyre will screen at the Vernon Towne Cinema Monday at 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. All tickets are $7 and are available at Bean Scene one week prior to the showing and at the door.

Broadway’s reigning best musical Tony award winner Memphis is about to be enjoyed at a theatre near you. The musical will be shown at Vernon’s Galaxy Cinemas Thursday at 7 p.m. and for a special Mother’s Day screening May 8 at 1 p.m. Each showing will feature an exclusive behindthe-scenes look at the musical that won four 2010 Tony awards and continues to play to soldout houses on Broadway. Memphis represents the first time the current Tony award winning best musical will be presented in movie theatres while concurrently running on Broadway. “We are absolutely thrilled to share the story of Memphis and its Broadway experience with audiences nationwide,” said Memphis producer Sue Frost. “It’s an extraordinary opportunity for all of us involved with the production, and we can’t wait for Broadway lovers across Canada to see it on the big screen.” The musical was captured live in performance at Broadway’s renowned Shubert Theatre in New York City with the original Broadway cast by Broadway Worldwide. Their production team is led by founder and executive producer Bruce Brandwen, Emmy award winning director Don Roy King (Saturday Night Live, CBS’ The Early Show, Survivor) and Grammy and Emmy award winning sound producer
Matt Kaplowitz (Ghandi, PBS’ To Bear Witness). Memphis takes place in the smoky halls and underground clubs of the segregated 1950s, where a young white DJ named Huey Calhoun (Chad Kimball) falls in love with everything he shouldn’t: rock and roll and an electrifying black singer (Montego Glover). It is an original story about the Cultural Revolution that erupted when his vision met her voice, and the music changed forever.
Bursting off the stage with explosive dancing, irresistible songs and a thrilling tale of fame and forbidden love, this incredible journey is filled with laughter, soaring emotion and roofraising rock ‘n’ roll. Memphis features a Tony winning book by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change) and a Tony winning original score with music and lyrics composed by David Bryan, Grammy winning keyboard player and found-

Vernon Jazz Society
Smooth, soulful, and sophisticated, Dylan Cramer brings his celebrated alto sax to the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. Joining Cramer is Ron Johnston on piano, John Nolan on drums, and Bruce Meikle on bass. The underlying note to Cramer’s quartet is featuring the alto saxophone in all its glory, crossing any musical genre to do so. “My musical style is totally based on revealing the beauty of the alto saxophone,” explained Cramer. “My only criterion in selecting what to play is that the song must move and inspire me, regardless of the idiom it is from. Then I adapt it to the saxophone and my quartet.” Featuring the music of jazz alto legend Sonny Criss, Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, Grover Washington, and Antonio Carlos Jobim, among many others, the quartet will perform a mixture of blues, swing, and Latin songs. Selected songs include Bumpin’, Theme From A Fistful of Dollars, Body Heat, Moonlight Serenade, All Blues, and many other classic jazz songs. Cramer will also perform some tunes from his upcoming CD including Reed Seed, Winelight, and One Note Samba. The quartet has a busy schedule, with a European tour in support of the release of their first CD Remembering Sonny Criss and an upcoming June performance at the Vancouver Jazz Festival. Cramer’s quartet also performs regularly in Vancouver at The

He told me, ‘If you don’t know the story, you don’t know nothin’ boy!’” said Cramer. After Criss’ death, Cramer took up studies with studio saxophonist Phil Sobel, remaining in L.A. until returning to Canada in 1986. Along with his busy performing and recording schedule, Cramer teaches the saxophone full time. Pianist Johnston is very busy in and around the Vancouver music scene as a freelance

Jazz Cellar, source of Cramer’s original introduction to jazz. “I was first influenced by my father, Barry Cramer, one of the original owners of The Cellar, a jazz and poetry late night club in Vancouver in the ‘50s and ‘60s,” said Cramer. “My father and his brothers were hooked on jazz and Frank Sinatra and I remember many Sunday afternoons when they would meet at my house and listen to records all day.” At 19, Cramer moved to Los Angeles in 1977 to study with the legendary Sonny Criss. Criss’ influence can be felt in Cramer’s lyri-
studio. A recent addition to the quartet, Meikle has been playing bass for more than 35 years and has been active both in Vancouver and with the Victoria Symphony. The Dylan Cramer Quartet takes the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club, 3000-31st. St., Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15.

Verdi and Wagner cap season It’s a work of extraordinary scale produced by internationally renowned Canadian director, writer, and performer Robert Lepage. The company’s complex repertory schedule was adjusted to accommodate the project, costing $16-million at a time when the Met Jim Elderton was running in the red. And they also faced an architectural challenge, with new steel girders under the stage to support the 45-ton set. The Met and its unions also agreed to having an all-Canadian production company build and test the rig in Montreal, then install it in New York. So, welcome to the marriage of high technology and classic stagecraft. The computer-controlled machine rises and twists as its 24 constituent metal plates form a stage-spanning staircase that rotates around a horizontal axis. Some steps are nearly vertical, the fractured surface flooding with colour and texture, while the music takes on the rhythm that represents Wagner’s subterranean scene of the crime, setting the whole cycle in motion.

etropolitan Opera’s HD-Liveat-the-Met finishes the season with two of the greatest in the repertoire –– Guiseppi Verdi’s Il Trovatore and Richard Wagner’s Die Walküre. It’s been said that The Anvil Chorus is the most famous opera piece ever written. For that alone, audiences are in for a treat, with David McVicar’s new production of Il Trovatore (The Troubadour), screening at Galaxy Cinemas Saturday, co-produced with Lyric Opera of Chicago and San Francisco Opera. Set against a wartime background, brothers Manrico (Marcelo Álvarez, singing the title role) and Count di Luna (Dmitri Hvorostovsky) compete for the love of the same woman, Leonora. In the past a gypsy had bewitched the count’s little brother, making him weak and ill, and for this she’d been burnt alive as a witch. Dying, she commanded her daughter Azucena to avenge her. Now Manrico’s supposed mother, the witch Azucena, haunts the count’s palace seeking revenge for the baby thrown into the fire. The fact that the count and Manrico are brothers, and that the former eventually kills the latter to fulfill Azucena’s curse is typical of plots that grand opera relishes. In setting the piece, McVicar uses rich imagery. On a rotating turntable, massive walls separate indoor and outdoor settings, one of the features that’s made this production so popular with audiences. The season closes with the highly anticipated Die Walküre (May 14), the second installment of the new production of Richard Wagner’s epic four-part Der Ring des Nibelungen.

Deborah Voigt plays Brünnhilde from Die Walküre for the first time at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. The Live at the Met series ends with the second opera from Wagner’s Ring cycle, to be screened at Galaxy Cinemas May 14. The Ring is based loosely on characters from the Norse sagas and the Nibelungenlied. The Nibelung of the title is the dwarf Alberich who fashions the Ring from the Rhine gold. Deborah Voigt plays her first Met Brünnhilde, Eva-Maria Westbroek makes her Met debut as Sieglinde, Stephanie Blythe plays Fricka, and Jonas Kaufmann plays Siegmund. Bryn Terfel continues the towering
role of Wotan, king of the gods. Das Rheingold production designers return: Carl Fillion (set); François St.-Aubin (costumes); Étienne Boucher (lighting), and James Levine, now celebrating his 40th year as the Met’s musical director, conducts. Die Walküre includes the famous Ride of the Valkyries, the best-known piece from
the entire Ring cycle. Verdi’s Il Travatore shows this Saturday, while Die Walküre airs May 14. Both live transmission will screen at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon at 10. a.m. Tickets are $24.58, with discounts for seniors and children under 14, available at the box office and at www.cineplex.com.

Independent Living Vernon is honoured to dedicate the 12th Annual Cycling for Independence to the memory of Byron Chatham, who died recently after a cycling accident. “He and his family were big supporters of the cycle and Byron was a really enthusiastic participant for the past six years. He won the bike for most pledges collected at least three times. We joked with him that he’d have to open a bike shop. We remember him as a happy young man,” said Lisa Kongsdorf of Independent Living Vernon which offers information, education and services for people with a variety of challenges. “Byron was such an incredible young man who wanted to give back to the community ever since he was a young teenager. He recognized the importance of what we do and we want to remember him. This will still be a fun event and the sun will be shining.” Sunday’s Cycling for Independence includes a 50K crank-hammer ride to Lumby starting at 8:30 a.m. and a 20K fun ride to Okanagan Lake at 9:30 a.m. Participants get lunch and a mini-massage after the ride. “Some of Byron’s family members are cyclists and will be in the ride. We invite any of his family and friends who don’t cycle to

Time to think left-overs hat a lovely Easter weekend it was! Beautiful spring weather, wonderful gatherings of family and friends, our Vipers winning the Doyle Cup a record three times in a row, (how can it get better than that — way to go, boys!) and more food than most of us could eat for a week. Now the question is, what do we do with the leftovers? Well, for starters, don’t despair or throw any out. Enjoy ham and/or turkey Cathi Litzenberger sandwiches, then dig out or find your favourite casserole recipes: everything from the ultimate in mac and cheese, to pasta and/or rice with ham recipes are out there. Or, put together a very nice quiche or a homemade soup. All these dishes can be frozen for use on some later date when you’re craving it again or haven’t the time to make a good meal. Today I offer a very nice split pea soup recipe and a cheesy, potato and ham casserole that will use up a lot of leftover meat. Enjoy. Split Pea with Ham Soup 1 tbsp. olive oil

1/2 onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 lb. (about 3 cups) ham, diced 7-8 cups chicken stock, or vegetable stock 1 pound bag of dried split peas, rinsed 1 bay leaf Salt and pepper to taste 1-2 carrots, diced 1-2 stalks celery, diced 1 large russet potato, peeled and diced Heat oil in Dutch oven or heavy soup pot over medium low heat. Add the diced onion and cook until slightly tender. Add the garlic and ham and cook for 60 seconds. Add the stock, split peas, and bay leaf to the pot and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook over medium low heat for about 2 hours. Add the carrots, celery, and potato, then cook 30-45 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Remove the bay leaf. Adjust salt and pepper. If you want the soup to be a bit thicker, mix with an immersion blender for a few seconds. Enjoy. Potatoes Au Gratin and Ham 2 cups cooked ham, cubed 3 lbs. baking potatoes, peeled and sliced thin, (approximately 9 medium spuds)
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped 2-1/2 cups whole milk 1/4 cup butter 5 tbsp. flour 12 oz. extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 2 tbsp. spicy brown mustard 1 tsp. paprika Salt and pepper to taste Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease baking dish. Layer 1/3 sliced potatoes, 1/3 cubed ham, 1/3 onions in pan. Repeat layers, ending with sliced potatoes on top. In a saucepan over medium heat, warm milk (do not boil). In a separate sauce pan, melt butter and slowly stir in flour. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add warmed milk to the butter and flour mixture and continue to cook for 4-5 minutes while continuing to stir until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in shredded cheese, mustard, paprika, salt and black pepper. (Return to low heat if cheese does not melt.) Then, pour cheese sauce over layered potatoes. Bake uncovered for 1 hour or until potatoes are soft and top layer is golden brown. (I find it takes longer than an hour.) Good served with a tossed salad.

Youth set out on a mission Morning Star Staff
Recently, 31 Grade 9 students, nine parents and three seasoned teachers gathered at Vernon Christian School with their camping gear in tow to fulfill an annual service project. “The kids percolated with hope for a trip that might change their lives, and would most certainly change the lives of a family of eight in Tecate, Mexico,” said Chris Bannick, a Middle School teacher at VCS and Mexico mission leader. “The adults were excited but determined to make certain the mission would be accomplished. This exuberant group traveled to Seattle by bus, taking a flight to San Diego and then piling into vans to cross the border into Tecate.” Bannick said there is a high poverty level in Tecate and the need for even basic necessities such as clean water, electricity, and of course, shelter, is great. VCS partners with Amor Ministries, which assists groups who want to build houses for the families that are able to obtain a piece of land on the outskirts of the city in order to improve living conditions and escape the cycle of poverty. More than 30,000 homes have been built for families over the years, sponsored by

household items, and toys for the children. The VCS students had fun playing games with the children and seeing another side of the world. Even upon entry into Mexico and seeing poverty up close, student Celine Grosch said, “I will never complain about my house again.” In leading this 12th annual mission trip, Bannick said responses such as Celine’s provided a sense of joy and pleasure to be affiliated with such a project. “It’s a message that in a troubled world, there are youth guided by some dedicated adults who can make a difference,” he said.

All participants have to raise their own funds for travel expenses and to buy the items necessary to complete the project. The 11x22 size houses are built from framing lumber and stucco. Bannick said one of the many benefits to this housing upgrade for each family
is the concrete flooring, two windows, and a key lock door. The 43-member team built a house in just four days for the Osorio Palma family. Since the family makes less than $120 US a week, they were very grateful to have the team from VCS buy the supplies and build their home.
“When the home was completed, the family’s response was overwhelming,” said Bannick. “They were very appreciative with hugs and had tears in their eyes.” In addition to the house Vernon Christian School came to build, the family also received new cooking equipment, blankets, toiletries, food, furniture,

TOUCHTHERAPY INTERNATIONAL ADVERTORIAL Robson Valley resident Barbara Faust of TouchTherapy International is excited to be offering her services to new clients in the Okanagan region. Starting May 2, Faust, who is a member of the Natural Health Practitioners of Canada, will be working out of the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy in downtown Vernon twice a month. Faust, a certified BELD Lymphologist and Circles of Life - GeoTran™ practitioner, graduated as a physiotherapist in 1990. “I have always been interested in gentle, non-invasive modalities that address the core of health problems since finishing physio school,” she said. “Through that interest I found Geotran™ in 2002, the technique I had been looking for that allows to address the core of problems, the information fields.” Faust’s goal is to help people get and stay healthy and achieve a more harmonious and balanced life through brain/mind re-education, detoxification, and strengthening of the immune system. She uses a variety of techniques such as Geotran™ Integrations, a tool for rapid,
personal transformation; BELD (BioPhotonic Lymphatic Drainage), a method specifically created for cleansing the lymphatic system; relaxation massage; and IonCleanse® Detox Foot Bath. Faust is pleased to offer a spring special from May 2 to 31, a 45-minute treatment for $50.00 of BELD. “BELD can help strengthen the immune system, reduces acute and chronic pain, reduces stress, and detoxifies the body of built-up toxins and waste,” explained Faust. “BELD is both a preventive and remedial treatment. It is a simple, effective and pleasant method.” Faust, who is originally from Switzerland, moved to Western Canada in 2000 and has been living in the Robson Valley since 2006. “I love living here,” she said. “It’s a dream come true.” To book an appointment contact Faust directly at home at 250-968-4509 or on her cell at 250-566-3143 or send an email to ttherapy@telus.net.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Turn to the same people with whom you’ve been lucky previously if you need a bit of luck again, especially if what you want involves a commercial endeavor. CANCER (June 21-July 22) As long as you’re fair with your counterpart, it’s an especially good day to negotiate a significant matter. In fact, by being reasonable, you may even benefit more than you hoped. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Opportunities involving your work or career are likely to be greater than usual, so don’t believe that you have to settle for mere tuppence for the job you do. Be realistic, but think big. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Don’t listen to others when it comes to a stressful development that could cause serious unrest. Follow your own muse, and things will eventually sort themselves out. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) The impression you make on others is usually of a lasting, favorable nature. In fact, your actions and demeanor will actually draw people to you at this juncture. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) It’s an especially good day to seek closure or tie down financial concerns on important matters. Don’t put them off. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Don’t bury yourself under a lot of work that deprives you from having a little
fun. Excitement is waiting for you out where the bright lights are shining. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If you think you have the Midas touch, be sure to exercise it. There are numerous opportunities and possibilities for large material gain at this time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Now and then you can be quite intuitive, and it might be one of those days, especially with issues that pertain to your material affairs. Follow your gut.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Getting out and mixing with others could be especially advantageous for you. Expressing yourself in friendly ways can benefit you more than usual. ARIES (March 21-April 19) If you see that conditions are receptive, plant seeds now if you want to grow and develop a special relationship. Once planted, however, remember to keep tending your garden.
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.

throughout the Okanagan to reduce the risk of recreational water contamination from sources such as geese. A swimming notification program was implemented by Interior Health in 2006. Since then, no beach advisories have had to be issued due in part to the combination of activities to protect beaches and beach water areas.

until they realize the eggs will not hatch. At this point, it is generally too late in the year to produce more eggs. Adults are not harmed and will continue with their regular lifecycle after the nesting season. During the past four seasons, approximately 5,000 eggs have been prevented from hatching through this minimally invasive approach. This program also entails a nest locating program and goose population surveys. The public is asked to keep away from goose nests and to avoid touching the eggs; a special permit is required to perform egg addling. An egg addling permit has been secured from the federal government allowing crews from EBB Environmental Inc. and Wise Wildlife Control to addle goose eggs on public and private lands with the owner’s permission. Public assistance is requested by reporting nest locations on private or public land. E-mail coordinator@okanagangooseplan.com or call 1-877-9433209. Information about the program is available at okanagangooseplan.com. Interior Health continues to encourage local governments

The Okanagan Valley Goose Management program is preparing for its fifth year of egg addling to control the number of Canada geese in public spaces. Trained contractors have begun searching for nesting sites and hope to complete the addling program by the end of April. “Last year, field crews located and addled 1,269 eggs between Vernon and Osoyoos,” said project co-ordinator Kate Hagmeier. “The multi-year project aims to reduce the population of resident Canada geese to a more manageable level, and reduce large concentrations of geese in heavily used public areas. “Due to the longevity of geese, it is expected to take three to five years to see a reduction in the Okanagan goose population from egg addling.” Egg addling involves shaking eggs or coating them with nontoxic 100 per cent biodegradable food-grade corn oil within 14 days of incubation to make them non-viable. The U.S. Humane Society considers egg addling during this time to be humane. Once addled, the eggs are returned to the nest. Geese continue to incubate

News Westside Road upgrades en route
INOUYE FOR NDP
Morning Star Staff
Roads will be upgraded as part of a water infrastructure project in the North Westside Road area. The Central Okanagan Regional District board has approved a transfer of $400,000 from the gas tax community works fund. “The money will be used to recycle asphalt along roadways during construction of the new water system for the Upper Fintry, Shalal Road and Valley of the Sun subdivisions,” said Bruce Smith, communications co-ordinator. “By recycling road surface asphalt, greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced, fewer aggregates will likely be needed and air quality will be improved as there will be less need for dust suppression chemicals.” Funds will also be used for water quality control works.
“Construction on the new water system is expected to begin this spring,” said Smith. The board also endorsed a funding application for eligible costs associated with integrating the new water system and the existing Fintry water utility, pending transfer of the private utility to CORD. “Integration of the systems would help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve water quality and see an efficient use of infrastructure and staff resources,” said Smith. In other North Westside news, directors have adopted official community plan and rezoning bylaws for the strata at La Casa Lakeside Resort. Strata owners applied for the rezoning to allow for the development of an outdoor swimming pool, a workshop and to recognize an existing outdoor storage yard.

Morning Star Staff
In preparation for his 25th Anniversary Relay which will re-create the Canadian-portion of his original Man In Motion Tour, Rick Hansen is looking for residents of Armstrong to help cover the 12,000 kilometre trek across Canada. One man in motion will be represented and celebrated by many in motion as 7,000 participants from across Canada who have made their own difference in the lives of others will walk, wheel or run in the Rick Hansen Relay when it begins on Aug. 24, 2011 in Cape Spear, Nfld., and concludes on May 22, 2012 in Vancouver. The 25th Anniversary Relay is planned to pass through Armstrong on April 3, 2012. To find and recognize these participants, the Rick Hansen Foundation launched an online public contest April 5 at RickHansenRelay.com, allowing Canadians to enter to win a spot for themselves or nominate a worthy individual to participate in the Relay as a Medal-Bearer. “Today is an exciting day in our 25th Anniversary celebration and for Canadians across the country, as we connect the nation and provide the opportunity for people who are making a difference in the lives of others to be recognized for their accomplishments and to share their stories,� said Hansen, president and CEO of the Rick Hansen Foundation. As part of the relay, residents of Armstrong can enter the online contest to participate in the relay. To tell the story of Canada’s difference makers, the online contest is open to: individuals who are creating a more accessible and inclusive world, youthleaders who are encouraging their generation to embrace positive change, persons who are protecting the environment or any Canadian who is seeking ways to improve the lives of others. “We are very excited about the opportunity for our citizens
to participate in the Man in Motion 25th Anniversary Relay, right here in Armstrong,� said Mayor Chris Pieper.
As the Relay will connect the country from coast to coast, the symbol that links each participant to the next
will be the Rick Hansen Medal, designed and produced by the Royal Canadian Mint. All Canadians (13
years and up) will be able to apply to become a participant through the online contest at RickHansenRelay.com.

Popular youth academy draws cadets, instructors ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
For cadets attending the Jean Minguy Memorial RCMP Youth Academy in Vernon, it’s a week of emulating RCMP training and benefitting from challenges, team building, friendships and skills received during the academy. For some RCMP officers, helping out at the academy is a chance to come full circle. The annual Jean Minguy Memorial RCMP Youth Academy, slated for May 1-7 at the Vernon Army Camp, has drawn more than 40 Grade 11 and 12 students from across the Okanagan valley. “On average, we have about two-to-five cadets every year that go on to police work, whether with the RCMP or municipal police departments,” said academy chairperson Terry Pakenham, assisted by Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP school liaison officer Const. Kathy Szoboticsanec. “I can‘t tell you how many have gone on to
the social service sectors. They‘re paying forward what they‘ve learned. “And, yes, we‘ve had some students come into the academy gungho on being part of the police force, but the consequence of going through the academy in the compressed time of seven days showed them that maybe it‘s not the career for them.” The academy, named after Const. Jean Minguy, a popular police officer and academy booster who died on duty in Okanagan Lake in 2005, replicates one week of life at RCMP training depot in Regina. Each applicant must undergo each phase of the selection process prior to being accepted for the academy. Once selected, they’ll have the opportunity to experience the full variety of activities that a police cadet would experience. Cadets will attend lectures on law and police tactics, as well as practical experience in drill and self-defence. They receive coaching in self-discipline, tol-
erance, team building, integrity and respect, plus all of the core values the RCMP exemplify. The academy is facilitated by school district staff, City of Vernon employees, volunteers and, of course, RCMP officers, some of whom are academy graduates. “This year, I have two facilitators that have gone through the academy, and I have one young lady that is going through the RCMP process,“ said Szoboticsanec. “She was with us two years ago as a student, and she is currently in the polygraph phase of the RCMP application process.” Two special guests will be helping out at the academy this year: Minguy’s two sons, Kevin and Colin. Kevin is a 2010 youth academy graduate. One familiar face will be missing, long-time volunteer Mary Rose Baldwin - The Killer Granny - who passed away earlier this year. Baldwin earned the moniker for playing a
seemingly harmless old lady who had no problems pulling a gun on unsuspecting cadets. “That’s such a sad loss for us. She will always have a place in the academy,” said Pakenham. “She’ll be fondly looking down and laughing. She loved to trick these young people with her granny gun. She holds the honour
of having the academy’s highest kill rate.. It’s not possible to replace Mary-Rose.” At academy’s end, cadets take part in a special graduation ceremony. That alone, said Pakenham, makes the week-long camp worthwhile. “The best part of the academy is how we see those cadets change over seven days,” he

Vipers stop Saints for RBC berth Vernon wins record third straight Doyle Cup title GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
SPRUCE GROVE – Rankings don’t seem to mean a whole lot to the Vernon Vipers. Just ask the Powell River Kings and, more recently, the Spruce Grove Saints. After sweeping the Kings, rated No. 2 in the Canadian Junior A Hockey League poll, in the Fred Page Cup, the Vipers knocked off the No. 1 Saints in Game 7 of the Doyle Cup regional series for the second straight year. They are the first team to record three straight Doyle titles, and will commence their defence of the RBC Cup national junior A crown Saturday in Camrose against the host Kodiaks. Other regional champions competing in the five-team round-robin tourney include Portage Terriers of Manitoba (Western), Wellington Dukes (Central) and Pembroke Lumber Kings (Eastern); the latter two clubs are from Ontario. As was the case throughout the Doyle series, Game 7 was a tight-checking tilt between two systematic clubs Sunday night at Grant Fuhr Arena. Deadlocked 2-2 after 40 minutes, David Robinson scored the series winner with six minutes to play on an odd-man rush as Vernon skated to a 4-2 win.
Saints’ defenceman Jesse Slobodian hit the outside post with a point shot and Kyle Murphy scooped up the loose puck and wheeled up ice with linemates Robinson and Bryce Kakoske, who threw a puck on net just in time for the Viper captain to redirect it over netminder Vince Marozzi’s right shoulder. “There’s some people outside this dressing room that didn’t think we’d get by the Westsides and Salmon Arms. Not a lot of people gave us an opportunity against the No. 2 team in the country in Powell River, and then coming into this building knowing how good they are, the No. 1 team, I’m just extremely proud of our boys,” said Vipers’ head coach Mark Ferner. “We try to bring certain players into this program, and first and foremost they have to be good kids. They sacrificed so much for this, not only on the ice, but off the ice.” Murphy, named Vernon’s game MVP and one of the Vipers’ most reliable forwards throughout the series, is thrilled to be a part of this drive to the RBC. “With the guys who have been here for a couple years, you can sense the energy and it’s kind of addictive. The whole playoff run has been a great experience,” said Murphy, who came back to play junior A after a season with the NCAA Division 1 Notre Dame Fighting Irish. After suffering a deflating 2-0 shutout loss in Game 6
Saturday night, the Vipers needed just 38 seconds to solve Marozzi Sunday as Dane Muench buried the first shot of the game, netting the rebound off a Brett Corkey blast from the point. Dylan Walchuk, who led all Vernon scorers with four goals and two assists, made it 2-0 when he took a chip pass from Marcus Basara at the blueline and fired a weak backhander that squeaked through Marozzi's five-hole at 14:05. The Saints' Scott Allen replied just over a minute later on the powerplay, snapping a shot just inside the right post from the high slot to re-energize 1,300 fans. Allen was the top Doyle sniper with 6+1. After trailing 5-1 on the shot clock early in the game, the Saints ended the first period with a flurry to outshoot the Snakes 13-9 and carry momentum into the second. Josh Keizer equalized for Spruce Grove on a tremendous shorthanded effort at 6:37, blocking Adam Thompson's point shot and then winning a foot race to break in alone to score on Kirby Halcrow. Thompson, one of three Vipers to return for a third straight RBC (Kakoske and Stevie Weinstein are the others) made amends for his earlier mishap by lofting a clearing shot 180 feet into the empty Spruce Grove net with 20 seconds to play.

Sports Saints classy in defeat Continued from A28 “For a little while down the ice there it was going wide, but it got a good bounce when it landed. It lifted the pressure a little bit for us,” grinned the Calgary native. “I was just hoping I got that opportunity because I kind of blew it a little bit for the boys in the second. Sometimes things just work out.” Coming into the season, the Viper veterans knew they would be counted on to lead the way. Said Weinstein: “With how many guys we lost, Ferns kind of wanted to lean on our veterans and our experience. Ferns told us we got to believe. Not too many people thought we’d be in this position except the guys in our locker room. It’s nice to prove all the out-

That was a great hockey game and it’s one of those things; they hit the post and it goes the other way and they won a stick battle on the third goal. But it wasn’t one play that won or lost this series,” said Mckee. When asked what he told his players after the
game, the classy coach replied: “That’s between us. There’s not a lot to say at this point. Those kids gave everything they had this year to get themselves in this position and to fall short by one goal, it’s tough.” SNAKE BITES: Vipers d-man Max Mowat was rocked by Spruce Grove captain Bryce Van Brabant early in the first period. The rookie d-man lay prone on the ice for several seconds before struggling to his feet and labouring off the ice. He did not return.

Plummer seals United win Morning Star Staff
United #2 won a thrilling 2-1 shootout over United #1 Sunday afternoon in the bronze-medal Under 11 Boys Rep match at the Lake Country Ice Breaker Soccer Tournament at sundrenched Beasley Park. United #1 – coached by Roy Cooper and Rick Raber – had rolled to an 8-0 victory over United #2 – coached by Kevin Mitchell – in preliminary action Saturday morning. Finn Plummer – the 11th shooter – scored the winner when his low shot was tipped by a diving Daniel Smith and went in off the right post. United #2 keeper Dylan Huber, who was stopped by Smith on the first attempt of the shootout, later blocked Braeden Cooper’s kick, the 12th and final attempt. Huber was United #2 player of the match, while Smith took honours for United #1. Huber’s best save in the shootout came when he stymied Owen Miller, while Smith made a miraculous stop on a high, hard shot heading for the left corner by Nick Mitchell, in sudden-death kicks. “The boys on both teams competed hard and demonstrated stellar skills all over the field,” said coach Mitchell. “They all work their butts off in practice twice a week and are showing solid improvement every game out.” Perez Vermeulen scored two minutes into the bronze-medal match on a 15-yard blast for United #2 off a feed from Ben Purvis. United #1 equalized in the dying minutes when Noah Schneider buried a low, bouncing corner by Adam Raber. Defender Zach Agar – player of the match for great hustle and marking on the back line – got his knee on a Purvis corner for United’s goal in their opening 4-1 loss to Kelowna #2 Friday morning. United then bowed 3-1 to Kelowna #1 with Vermeulen heading in a Purvis corner and earning player of the match. Defender Kody Kongsdorf earned honourable mention for solid tackling. Purvis – player of the match – scored twice, once off a nice feed by Chris Atkins and another on a 25-yard direct kick, as United shut down Nelson 4-0 Sunday morning to reach the bronze-medal match. An own goal, put in by a Nelson defender after a booming corner by Purvis, and Leon Schenker on a top-shelf penalty kick, completed the Vernon offence. The kick was awarded after Mitchell’s header off a Purvis corner was touched by a Nelson defender. Huber and Mitchell shared the shutout, getting stellar defensive help from Aiden Rysen. United #1 got two goals from speedy CJ Storey in an opening 2-1 win over Nelson. Steven Beneschek set up one of Storey’s goals. Cooper and Miller each scored twice and had one assist as United #1 manhandled United #2 8-0 Saturday morning. Jarrod Latta, Brendan
Yakura, Alex Oguunbiyi and slidetackling wonder Seb Wenger added singles. United #1 then bowed 2-1 to Kelowna #2 with Storey getting Vernon’s goal. Oguunbiyi, from Cooper, handled United’s offence in a 1-1 draw with Kelowna #1. Vernon United U13 Boys – coached by Joe Gourdine – went 1-3 in roundrobin play and then fell 4-1 to Port Moody in the bronze-medal contest Sunday. “All the boys stepped up their game on the showcase field for the bronze and we were up 1-0 at the half as Cole Benjaminsen used his speed and outran two defenders from about half to score early,” said Gourdine. “Port Moody’s smooth one-touch passing and ball control proved too much. Bryn Bedard had a strong first game in net.” Vernon opened with a 4-2 loss to Kelowna United and then beat Nelson Selects 3-0 Friday. Midfielder Nick Klymchyk, on a penalty kick, and Billy Cawthorne, scored for Vernon, leading Kelowna 2-0 at the half. “We got outworked and gave up too many shots in the second half. They battled back,” said Gourdine. “Justin Haverkamp stepped up his play and was MVP.” Klymchyk converted another penalty kick, and Gage Kopp and scrappy Cawthorne bagged goals against Nelson. Kopp, on an absolute tear up the middle, pounded one top right from 25 yards. Klymchyk was MVP. Port Moody one-touched the ball all over the field and used well-timed through balls to overcome Vernon 3-1. Klymchyk converted his third PK in as many games. The Kamloops Blaze used the full width of the field and worked the through balls to win 4-1 in the fourth game. Mac Gourdine (MVP) played a strong game in the middle and went top left on a curler from 25 yards. The Vernon United U16 girls were fit to be tied in the Ice Breaker. They played to a 1-1 draw with Calgary on Friday morning, with Kate Alexander connecting in after some very hard work and fancy feet by Emily Thorlakson. Calgary equalized before the break. Most of the second half was played in the Vernon end, giving superb keeper Candice Lipski and her defence lots of action. Kali Wells and Megan Prentice went hard all game. In their second game Friday, United drew 1-1 with the Kamloops Blaze. Vernon’s goal came on a penalty kick from Marisa Berg. Kamloops scored in the second half. Great showings were turned in by Janelle Cole, Megan Squair, and Isabelle Weber Concannon. United finished play Saturday morning with a scoreless draw against Port Moody Nitro. Tessa Coulthard, Emma Tassie and Danika Damini enjoyed great games.

Sports award put in motion JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
From an owner who spends hours promoting his team both on and off the ice to the umpire who braves curve balls all season long just to see the joy of kids being able to play ball. The North Okanagan is full of individuals who dedicate their time and talents to the love of sport. And now the North Okanagan can officially recognize such devotion. Every year a North Okanagan Athlete and Team of the Year is awarded after a committee sifts through public nominations. Now the committee has expanded its trophy collection to include the North Okanagan Leadership in Sport Award (sponsored by Tim Hortons). While the athletes
generally get all the credit, the committee agreed it was time to recognize those who have spent considerable time behind the scenes. Such people have been honoured in the past through the Ernie Kowal Memorial Award, presented at the now defunct Brent Gilchrist B.C. Children’s Hospital Charity Golf Classic. “There is some more recognition that needs to be done in Vernon,” said Ken Richardson, co-chair of the awards committee. “There’s some hidden people out there,” he said. “It’s for people who have dedicated and committed themselves to a sport for a long period.” This new category recognizes the outstanding contribution of a sport leader or organization which exemplifies the spirit of

Silver Stars shock Camels Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Silver Stars stunned the defending Okanagan Oldtimers 45+ Soccer League champion Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels 2-0 Monday night at Marshall Field #3. The Stars (3-0) took the lead in the 20th minute when a Rick Danyluk inswinging corner from the left escaped everybody including Camels’ keeper Dave Dutcher, who collided with his own defender, Dan Zieske. There were some nervous moments inside the Stars’ six-yard box at the end of the half as the Camels applied pressure but couldn’t finish. The Camels, with the easterly wind now at their backs, enjoyed good possession in the second half but never really threatened to score. Dutcher made a few spectacular saves to prevent the Stars from increasing their lead. Kevin Cowley converted on a penalty kick after the Stars’ Gerson Betman was brought down by Camels’ defender Stu Whitling. The Humpbacks (2-1) continued to press but were stymied by a solid Stars’ defence. It was the Camels’ first loss since mid-May of last season. The Okanagan Spring, backed by a hat trick from Mike Lloyd, defeated Salmon Arm 3-2 at Marshall Field #2. The Brewers were down 1-0 early after an Andrew Whiston goal. Lloyd converted on a penalty kick to equalize before the half. Lloyd made it 2-1 early in the second half, only to have Wolfgang Bopp tie the game with 12 minutes to go. Lloyd got the winner with less than six minutes remaining, and Spring hung on as 1-2 Salmon Arm pressed, hitting the crossbar twice in the late stages. Akbal Mund filled in as keeper for Spring (2-1). The hard-luck Vernon Big O Tire fell to 0-3 by falling 2-0 to Lake Country FC at Beasley Park. The play was even most of the first half until a 30-yard shot rolled to Big O keeper Paul Hunter and dribbled past his fingertips over the goal line.
Lake Country made it 2-0 before the end of the first half on a nifty pass across the 18-yard line area with a striker putting a hard shot into the open corner. Big O looked a lot sharper in the second half, after coach Yogi Kongsdorf made some adjustments. Mark Wasylyk missed with a blast over the net as he broke in all alone after a pass from Rob Ross, who also missed wide after a sweet cross from Wasylyk. Newcomer John Garner was stellar, nailing a penalty kick from 35 yards out that just missed the top part of the net forcing, keeper to make a great save. Volker Otto and Mike Adams, also new to Big O, played solid on defence. In other games, it was: North Country Appraisals Kickers 0 Brandt’s Creek Pub 0; Kelowna IGA 7 Rented Mules 0; Pushor Mitchell 4 Cantina’s Pub 0.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder If Shakespeare had been a bridge player, surely he would have written, “An entry! an entry! my kingdom for an entry!” Conserving entries is one of the topics covered fairly early in a bridge career. But less experienced players are sometimes careless because they play too quickly -- as happened in this deal from a private game of Chicago. If you were South, how would you plan the play in three no-trump after West leads a fourth-highest heart five and East plays the seven? The auction was straightforward, North raising to game in the hope that his club suit would prove useful.
You have five top tricks: one spade, two hearts (given the lead) and two diamonds. Clearly you must make the most of dummy’s clubs. Suppose you win the first trick with the heart nine, lead the club king (under which West drops the two, his lowest showing an odd number of cards in the suit), and play another club. East will win with his ace and probably shift to the diamond queen. After taking that trick, how can you get into the dummy? You can’t! Let’s go back to trick one. Your only dummy entry is in hearts, but you must keep two hearts lower than dummy’s jack. Win the first trick with your
queen (or ace!). Then, knock out the club ace, get in with the diamond ace, and lead a low heart toward the dummy. West will win with his king and play another diamond, but you take the trick, cross to dummy with a heart to the jack, and cash the clubs to end with an overtrick.

David Cornelius (Dave) Dycke was born on August 12th, 1934 in De Salaberry, Manitoba and passed away on January 14th, 2011 in Hospice House at the age of 76 years. Dave will be lovingly remembered by his wife Gerry; his sister, Mary; two sons, Gary and Jeff; one daughter, Debbie; his grandchildren; his nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and brothers. Dave moved from the lower mainland to Vernon in 2003. He was a man who was always ready for a party and was a gracious host, a great cook, an accomplished musician and dancer. During the spring, summer and fall Dave could be found nurturing his garden. In November he would begin preparing for Christmas, his favorite holiday of the year. Cremation preceded a Celebration Of Dave’s Life which will be held at Bethel Funeral Chapel on Saturday, April 30th, 2011 at 11:00 A.M. with Pastor Jake Klassen officiating. Placement of Dave’s cremated remains will follow in the Bethel Rose Garden Of Remembrance after which time family and friends are invited to a Reception in the Bethel Tea Room. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Dave to the North Okanagan Hospice Society, 3506-27th Avenue, Vernon, B.C. V1T 1S4. Funeral arrangements have been made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605-27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 250-542-1187

B.C. Legislature gets down to business TOM FLETCHER Black Press
The B.C. Legislature reconvenes today for a month-long session that is expected to feature the debut of both NDP leader Adrian Dix and Premier Christy Clark. Clark must first win a seat in a May 11 by-election in VancouverPoint Grey, to fill the vacancy left by former premier Gordon Campbell. If she defeats NDP candidate David Eby, she would be able to take her seat on the B.C. Liberal front bench a few days before the spring session ends on June 2. Clark has hinted at new familyfriendly tax measures that could be tabled in the spring session. One of those could be a promised reduction in the rate of the harmonized sales tax, the fate of which will be decided in a mail-in referendum set for June and July. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon has launched a pre-referendum program that includes $500,000 to be split between pro-HST and anti-HST representatives, a household mail-out including arguments from both sides, and a series of public forums held at colleges and universities around B.C. The government will also run an advertising campaign urging voters to keep the HST, thus avoiding costs
in the billions to undo it and retaining sales tax rebates directed to lowincome households. The government plans to start sending out mail-in ballots in midJune, and completed ballots must be received by Elections BC no later than July 22. It will be August before the results are known, and the government knows whether to keep the HST or negotiate an end to it with the federal government. The B.C. Liberal government presented a status-quo budget in February, leaving a substantial portion of expected revenue unallocated. That budget must be debated and passed before the government’s spending authority runs out in July. The government must also pass amendments to set up the mail-in HST referendum. An anti-HST petition organized by former premier Bill Vander Zalm last year calls on the government to either reinstate the former provincial sales tax and provide refunds on millions of transactions, or put the issue to the public in a vote. Former finance minister Colin Hansen said it wouldn’t be possible to meet the demand in the original petition, and the Clark government has decided to take the vote over and do it by mail.
