VJH heralds new era in cancer detection JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Anyone who has had to go through the horror of breast cancer knows that one of the hardest parts is the waiting. From the time doctors suspect something to an actual diagnosis can seem like an eternity. Sometimes women end up waiting not one, not two, but six or more weeks to find out whether suspicions over a lump will change their life forever. But now the waiting game has been cut significantly for women of the North Okanagan. The Vernon Jubilee Hospital’s mammography unit was a sea of pink Wednesday as women, doctors and staff celebrated an advancement in detection of the most frequently diagnosed cancer. Almost instant results are now available to radiologists with the new Bioptics BioVision specimen radiography system. The state-of-the art piece of diagnostic equipment is one of only two of its kind in B.C. “We are absolutely thrilled to have the only one outside of Vancouver,” said Dee Paterson, past chair of the Wine, Women and Woods committee, which was instrumental in getting the new technology to Vernon with $75,000 in proceeds from the 2010 golf tournament. The $98,000 machine comes to town thanks to Wine, Women and Woods, as well as the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation B.C./Yukon, and additional funds from local donations to the VJH Foundation. “It’s changing the way that we diagnose very early breast cancer,” explains radiologist Dr. Glenn Scheske. “We can No. 1 do a better job and a faster, more efficient job. “We do cut off about six weeks for the average patient from when we find something wrong to when they are diagnosed.” Every week radiologists perform four to five stereotopic biopsies in the unit and breast biopsies in the operating room. Previously, radiologists would take specimens, hoping they had enough to confirm a diagnosis, but would sometimes have to call patients back for further specimens. Or patients would need to be called back to have an operative biopsy. “Now, whereas the one or two out of 10 that had to have an operative biopsy, with this machine now they don’t have to do that.” The BioVision allows radiologists to instantly X-ray specimens while the patient remains in the unit, therefore, if needed, further specimens can be taken without delay. In the OR surgeons can also determine that

adequate tissue has been taken while the patient is still under anesthesia. “We will be able to offer our patients a higher quality service with decreased apprehension, and a vastly improved patient expe-
rience,” said Scheske. Along with improved accuracy and almost instant results, the machine also produces a digital image to attach to patient’s files, versus the old X-ray films.
“Indeed, we are closer to a future without breast cancer,” said Linda Morris, CBCF BC/ Yukon executive director. After being diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year, Dalvir Nahal knows personally how much a friendly process can make all the difference during a traumatic time. Although the BioVision machine wasn’t at the hospital at the time she was tested for breast cancer, she credits the exceptional treatment of staff and doctors to easing her mind (during a difficult process). “People complain, but it’s just amazing the service for this small town,” said Nahal, who is also a VJH Foundation director, and is on a personal mission to raise $50,000 for the hospital’s cancer centre – and she’s already halfway there. In 2010, an estimated 23,200 Canadian women were diagnosed with breast cancer and 5,300 will die of it. In B.C. alone, an estimated 2,800 women were diagnosed and 640 will die of it.

News Candidates tackle voter apathy RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Those wanting to represent Okanagan-Shuswap in Ottawa admit politics may be turning people off. The four candidates running in the May 2 election were asked how to address voter apathy during a forum at the Performing Arts Centre Tuesday. “We want MPs to communicate respectfully and to deal with the issues,� said Liberal Janna Francis, who is concerned about conflict in the House of Commons. She also took aim at the Conservatives before a crowd of about 100 people. “The Harper government has been obsessed with secrecy,� she said. Francis believes there is a need to make Question Period more substantive and to limit the prime minister’s ability to shut down Parliament. For Green candidate Greig Crockett, the Conservative government has abused its power. “The committee structure is being ignored by the prime minister,� he said. “Withdrawing the mandatory long-form census introduces ignorance to government. Scientific information is being ignored by the government.� Crockett says the entire gov-

NDP candidate Nikki Inouye fields a question during an all candidates forum at the Performing Arts Centre Tuesday. ernance system needs to be overhauled and there should be proportional representation. “It has been introduced around the world. Their governments are more responsive,� he said. Conservative Colin Mayes placed blame for a dysfunctional Parliament on the opposition. “We need to take the cameras out of Question Period because politicians are performing,� he said.
“You can lie in Question Period and not be taken to court.� Mayes defends the government’s actions by saying it has introduced an accountability act, has created an ethics commissioner and has provided more power to the auditor general. “Not one red cent is missing under the Conservative government.� In terms of apathy and encouraging people to vote, NDP candi-
date Nikki Inouye believes there is a need for more awareness. “We need to educate our youth. Our kids need to know the history behind the vote,� said Inouye of the fact that women and minorities once could not cast ballots. “We need to remind our kids that people in other countries risk their lives to go to the polls. The one time we have a say is at the polls.� Mayes was put on the hot seat
when someone from the audience stated that it had taken a year to get an appointment with the MP. Mayes says his office staff do a good job of dealing with constituents, and his duties require him to be in Ottawa to represent the riding. “I’m gone half the time and not available,� he said. Those comments brought a sharp response from Francis. “We need to work on the issues of importance to you (voters),� she said of elected officials. “If we don’t know the issues of importance to you, we can’t take the issues seriously.� Inouye also blasted Mayes for not being in the riding more often. “You need to be in your office and constituency,� she said. “You need to go to the coffee shops and community centres. There are lots of issues that need addressing.� Some questions also revolved around the military and Crockett was asked about Canada’s role in Libya’s civil war. Crockett said the role of the Canadian military should be to protect the Libyan people and not regime change. “The Green Party would prefer United Nations involvement when there is international intervention.�

Mayor Kevin Acton still defends that decision. “It’s sparked a lot of interest in what Lumby is doing. It has started a lot of conversations. We’ve had developers come in to look at Lumby,” he said. Morning Star Staff
“We will look for opportunities to unite the people of Lumby and to move forward in a positive direction.” — Dawne Kineshanko “There is an underlying criminal element in any area. Lumby is no different and we all get along. A correctional facility won’t change that.” Rick Fairbairn, Area D director, is not telling residents how to vote. “The constituents will decide for or against and I was elected to represent them. That’s the position I will follow,” he said. The referendum is not binding under provincial legislation, but Acton doesn’t anticipate council ignoring the results.
“I can only speak for myself but my sense is council will go with what the community wants,” he said. And that includes those residents who live outside of the village boundary in Area D of the regional district. “We consider Area D as the Lumby community. It’s one community,” he said. A similar opinion is held by Fairbairn. “I think council will take into consideration the views of rural Lumby. They’re part of the community,” he said.
Polls will be open at the White Valley Community Centre Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. A high turnout is expected based on last week’s advance poll — 242 ballots from the village and 194 from Area D. While both sides remain committed to their positions, they admit there is a need for Lumby to pull together after the referendum. “If the community decides that’s not what they want, that’s what the community wants. Lumby has always been
my hometown and always will be whether there is a correctional facility or not,” said Gobelle. Kineshanko also believes there is a need to focus on the things residents share in common instead of any potential differences. “We will look for opportunities to unite the people of Lumby and to move forward in a positive direction,” she said. “There is commit-
ment out there to see that Lumby creates a more diverse local economy through well developed economic planning, as laid out in the official community plan.”

Governance fight flares up RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A Greater Vernon jurisdiction is being accused of playing games at the expense of residents. The City of Vernon has been asked by the District of Coldstream to consider re-establishing the former commission model where Greater Vernon participants had delegated authority to deal directly with parks, recreation, culture and water. “The focus from Coldstream should be the college property,” said Vernon Coun. Patrick Nicol of plans for a sports complex. “Hundreds of things pass unanimously (at the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee) for the benefit of all Greater Vernon and the focus is off base on this.” Coldstream has suggested that a commission be initiated to administer water, parks, recreation, culture, the Performing Arts Centre and Wesbild Centre. The commission had delegated authority, which meant that it could make decisions on some matters without going to the North Okanagan Regional District board. “It’s just like deja vu,” said Mary-Jo O’Keefe, a Vernon councillor, of Coldstream’s proposal. The commission was disbanded in 2006 and it was replaced by an advisory committee, which can only make recommendations to the NORD board. “Coldstream and Areas B and C voted to get rid of this,” said Lippert of the commis-

sion. Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick isn’t sure what a sports complex next to the college has to do with governance. “The college is one single issue and the bigger picture is the foundation we follow at NORD,” he said. “They (city) have said
a commission should be brought back. We could be in a better place with this model.” Garlick doesn’t believe sufficient information was available when NORD directors voted to disband the commission. “Knowing more, it wasn’t the right decision
to repeal it,” he said. Lippert is going to Victoria May 5 to meet with Ida Chong about reviews of regional district services such as parks and recreation. “This has been bouncing back and forth,” said Lippert. “The province needs to put a timeline on these things. Some of the reviews have been going on for five years.” Garlick agrees with Lippert’s concerns. “The legislation is incomplete and there are lots of holes. Something has to be done about it,” he said.

Decisions, decisions
P
layoffs, election, royal wedding. Canucks, NDP uprising, pomp and ceremony. Man, there’s a lot going on this week, and with it comes much media types like myself throwing out their opinions. Why? Because we can. Don’t worry. I’m not going to put in all of my two cents worth about what are the most talked about subjects of the week, make that the year. I think I’ll leave that to those who are in the “know”; those pundits on the CBC, SportsCentre and Entertainment Tonight who are scrutinizing every move Stephen Harper, Alex Burrows and Wills and Kate Kristin Froneman make. Me? I’m just an innocent bystander; one of the many who will watch, with slight amusement, while the chaos unfolds. But then again, there are a lot of decisions to make this week, aren’t there? As I write this Thursday, I have to decide whether to stay up late tonight to watch the Canucks mow down the Nashville Predators in what will probably be another nail-biting overtime sudden-death goal (wagers anyone?) or do I sleep through it to get up at the ungodly hour of 1 a.m. this morning to witness what hat Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth will wear. Oh, and the dress. Then there’s the immediate aftermath that will be even more entertaining, as long as your tongue is firmly tucked inside cheek. What will Vancouver do if the Canucks –– don’t hurt me –– lose the series? (I was in the city the last time it happened, and it wasn’t pretty.) There is something about a sporting tournament that brings out the best and worst in us. Forget the military, just send a rabid hockey fan wielding a stick over to Libya to whip some Gadhafi butt. And what if William passes out from all
AT RANDOM
that media scrutiny, or trips on his sword? What if –– OMG –– it rains?? I mean I can’t miss that. It would be as big as when his great, great uncle Edward VIII abdicated the throne so he could marry that American divorcée, Nazi sympathizer woman. Tut-tut. I’ve watched all the aftermaths, and the divorces, of the Royal Family the past three decades. Why stop now? And if you’re wondering why I haven’t mentioned one of the hardest decisions of them all, with an even bigger aftermath than all the other utter nonsense, don’t worry I’m getting to that.... Who the heck do I vote for on Monday?? I’m usually pretty apt at knowing where my politics lie, and I usually have no problem checking off my ballot, after all, I’ve had a lot of practice the past few years. But this election seems more like doomsday than the start of anything fresh. And if I hear the word democracy one more time (I’m talking to you Iggy), I’m gonna scream. A real democracy would be one person, one vote, not letting more than half the country’s ridings in Ontario and Quebec make the decision of who will lead us for us. Oops, just a little rant there. Call me Mercer. I’ve even gone on that Grit-supporting misnomer known as CBC’s vote compass to help me. After answering all the questions, it left me more confused than ever. (And no it did not point me in the red direction as it has been accused of doing.) I think I’m going to have to wing it this time around. Go with my gut. Maybe watch the hockey game, or Entertainment Tonight as those votes start pouring in from the eastern ridings (and good luck blocking them out in this age of immediate information technology.) Then I’ll wake up the next morning, as if nothing has happened, go to work, and sit back in amusement as the game, the dress, and the leader are dissected. It’s the least I can do.
The last few months have been extremely difficult in Lumby. Longtime friends and acquaintances have been divided over the prospect of a prison. There have been numerous reports of impromptu fights, the silent treatment and businesses boycotted. But even as Saturday’s referendum draws near, there are signs that healing is starting to occur. Both sides of the debate are toning down the rhetoric and insisting that no matter what happens at the polls, it is time to move on. It is time for the common bonds that make Lumby such a great place to rise to the top of the priority list. And that means co-operation and working together. If a majority of voters approve a prison and a facility proceeds, then any concerns about the potential impact on the community must be addressed. However, if the concept of a jail is shot down, then everyone needs to come together and find ways to bolster the economy and create jobs. “We will look for opportunities to unite the people of Lumby and to move forward in a positive direction,” said Dawne Kineshanko, who opposes a jail. And an opportunity is the best way to consider this entire process. Residents — no matter their views — have got involved and shown a passion for their community. “Lumby has always been my hometown and always will be whether there is a correctional facility or not,” said Tracie Gobelle, who favours a jail. It may take time for some of the wounds to heal, but we are confident Lumby residents will rise to the challenge with their heads held high.

Funtastic states its case
I
n response to John Clarke’s letter to the editor April 20, I would like to clarify a couple items in reference to the Funtastic Sports Society. While Mr Clarke states Funtastic, “wants a massive prairie of ball diamonds to one day surround the city," this is simply not true. It is true, however, that the Funtastic Sports Society supported the regional district for a multi-sports facility at Aberdeen Road. The Funtastic Sports Society, along with many community sports and recreation organizations, supported this initiative. What Mr. Clarke is missing in his letter is the term multisports facility. Funtastic supports a community effort and sports facility strategy. Not just ball diamonds, but facilities that cater to all sports groups. Mr. Clarke may or may not use these facilities, yet there are many young families considering a move to the region who would, and will decide, accordingly. The fact is, as a community, we need sport facilities for a number of reasons. Currently, many parents are driving their children to Revelstoke, Kamloops and Kelowna to train at various facilities — take football and track for example. We also have children not able to join clubs because they are at capacity due to the popularity and the limited or lack of facilities. The Funtastic Sports Society is a non-profit organization and community advocate for living a healthy lifestyle using sports and recreation. YES TO PRISON Taxes and more taxes. Where are we to get those needed dollars to repair our swimming pool, to keep the arena operating and the many other needed infrastructure repairs — sewer plant, water purification, and much more. Apparently just the arena alone will need to be replaced within 10 years. Where do we expect to find the dollars to pay for these expensive but necessary facilities - taxpayers of course with a little from increased user fees. Taxes will increase dramatically unless we have the jail and its reported $1.1 million annual grant, an amount that is far greater than what is currently derived from existing residential properties here in Lumby. The no side constantly raises fears that the jail will be unsightly, will use excessive lights, will lower property values and that our children will be unsafe. Had they kept open minds during the March 23 meeting, they would have heard of the most favourable experiences of other communities housing similar jails. Furthermore, the jail will fea-

During the past 26 years, Funtastic has been successful in raising more than $1.2 million to help fund the greater community’s recreation initiatives. These include new playgrounds, fields, outdoor lighting for tennis courts, defibrillators for hockey arenas and much more. For the past three years, we have provided $75,000 in grants to local non-profit agencies to aid in their sport and recreation initiatives. Groups that have benefitted include: the Vernon Kokanee Swim Club, Kindale Developmental Association, Junction Literacy/Youth Initiatives, Lavington Elementary School, Vernon Speed Skating Association, Vernon Tennis Association, Vernon Minor Football, Silver Star Adaptive Snow Sports,
ture neither spotlights nor barbed wire, instead using unseen infrared lights, which should most certainly appease the naysayers. The structure will be the most attractive building in Lumby. Say yes when you vote April 30. It is Lumby’s last chance to progress without drastic tax increases. Ev Milne PRISON TOWN? There are those in Lumby who feel that becoming a prison town will not affect them. Residents in and around Lumby should think this through clearly. It is a decision that will change the community forever. A few people are likely going to make a great deal of money on this venture but Lumby and area residents will pay the huge price. Every person who owns property likely has equity, the difference in what is owed on their property and what it is worth on today’s market. For many, this equity represents a good portion of their life savings. Let's not kid ourselves, real estate will drop if Lumby becomes
EFLECTIONS
a prison village. A drop of as little as five per cent will cost the owner of a $350,000 house $17,500 in equity. It doesn’t matter if you plan to sell or not, your savings in the form of equity will diminish by $17,500. Multiply this by the number of property owners in Lumby and surrounding areas. It is evident who will pay the price for a few people to get rich. Lumby is not a town. It is a village of 1,670 residents. In B.C., there has never been a prison built near such a small community, let alone inside of it. There have been no studies on the effects of such a huge prison being crammed right into a small community. At the Charles Bloom information presentation, all prisons featured were shown in open areas away from the towns. I couldn’t help noticing that all but one of the pictures were taken from afar — perhaps they look less intimidating that way. Don’t be fooled by the “only small time criminals will be in this prison” talk. Remember, as stated at the Bloom info meeting, prisoners including killers and pedo-
Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs, North Okanagan Youth Soccer Association, Vernon Silhouettes Synchronized Swimmers, the Schubert Centre, and the list goes on. Each year, visitors to the Funtastic event spend more than $4.5 million with local businesses. Funtastic is nationally recognized and a marquee event for our region, having received a national sports tourism award. In addition, Funtastic received the 2010 chamber of commerce award for community support. Yet, Funtastic is but one of many sports tourism activities in our region contributing more than $30 million in economic benefit. This money supports local business and employs residents. Without these events, the business landscape in our region would look very different — as would the health and wellness of our citizens. Without sports and recreation facilities, sports tourism opportunities are also limited. Imagine a community where no children are playing soccer, baseball or football. Imagine a community where all the children are entertained by computers and electronic games. Imagine what the health care system would look like. As much as no one wants to pay more in taxes, investing in sports and recreation facilities is an investment in our future. Jim McEwan Executive Director Funtastic Sports Society
philes stay in this level of prison until they are tried, convicted, and sentenced and only then are they moved to federal prisons.

Hitting pedestrian leads to jail time ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A Vernon motorcyclist who struck a pedestrian with his bike will serve his jail time intermittently. Randall A. Focht, 50, pleaded guilty in court Tuesday to one count of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm, and one count of failing to stop at the scene of an accident. He was sentenced by judge Mark Takahashi to 90 days in jail on both counts with the sentenc-
es to be served concurrently, and he was also given a three-year driving prohibition. The pleas stem from an Oct. 2, 2010 incident when Focht struck a pedestrian shortly after midnight at the intersection of 41st Street and Bella Vista Road. He and his motorcycle were spotted shortly before the accident by RCMP in the area of 30th Street and 31st Avenue. When police tried to check the driver for a motor vehicle infraction,
the motorcyclist took off. Police did not pursue the bike for safety reasons. Focht also pleaded guilty to an unrelated impaired driving charge, stemming from February 2010, for which he received a $1,000 fine and a one-year driving prohibition, and to a pair of probation breaches, for which he received a day in jail on each count. It was not decided if the driving prohibitions would be served consecutively. Takahashi agreed to
Vipers score praise from council RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Vipers have the enthusiastic support of the community. Bylaws and development issues were cast aside Tuesday as city council members took time to praise the Vipers, who clinched a record third straight Doyle Cup Sunday, and now head off to the RBC Cup national junior A tournament in Camrose, Alta. “Congratulations to the Vipers,” said Mayor Wayne Lippert.
The first game in the RBC Cup takes place Saturday, and the franchise will be pushing to win a seventh national victory and a third consecutive championship. “They have put Vernon on the national stage,” said Coun. Jack Gilroy of the exposure the Vipers generate. Gilroy is getting ready to pack his bags so he can personally cheer on his favourite team in Camrose. “They are a great group of guys and real ambassadors for Vernon,” he said.
allow Focht to serve his jail sentence on an intermittent basis, that is he would report to Vernon cells for a couple of nights during the week, in order to maintain his business obligations. Crown counsel Howard Pontious said Focht’s guilty pleas were a significant factor in the judgment. “It’s a big thing because we can’t get our trials on in less than a year or two,” said Pontious.
“I always think it’s good when people take responsibility, particularly when they’ve caused such horrific injuries to someone. To accept responsibility is something that doesn’t happen a lot, so it’s a good thing.” The male victim, 49, continues to recover from the multiple injuries he suffered that night. The man received a fractured skull, serious breaks of his legs and internal injuries in the incident.

Mark Olsen, CUPE president, acknowledges trustees are in a difficult position. “If the kids aren’t there, then the jobs wouldn’t follow, so that makes sense,” he said. “But the whole provincial funding is a mess. We’re getting the cost increases, which are just inflationary, and downloading of things. Olsen said trustees have to go back to the ministry to continue lobbying for more funds. “I’m just disappointed the services are continually getting eroded, but while enrolment has dropped and jobs are being lost, I don’t see a lot going down with administration — the top jobs seem to be secure.” Olsen said the erosion of hours per day is putting a good number of CUPE’s members at the poverty level. “I’m concerned with a lot of my members who are trying to get by on four hours of employment a day, so the wages are one thing but if they don’t get the hours, that’s another thing,” he said.

Steady turnout for advance polls JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Advance polls have turned out significantly more voters in this year’s federal election than the last. In the OkanaganShuswap riding 8,265 ballots were cast over the weekend in advance of Monday’s federal election. That is up from 6,414 votes in the 2008 federal election. “This is estimated turnouts only,” reminds Susan Friend, with Elections Canada. “They are not official voting results.” The last election also represented the lowest voter turnout in history – 58.8 per cent Canadawide, compared to its height in 1963 at 79.2 per cent. This year’s advance voting numbers are up significantly everywhere compared to the 2008 election. This year, 243,247 ballots were cast provincewide, while the 2008 election only saw 177,915 at the earlybird stations. Canada-wide, the
41st general election advance voting saw just over two million while there were only 1.5 million in the 40th general election advance polls.
While Elections Canada is always hopeful for higher voter turnouts, the advance numbers do not necessarily mean more people will
be exercising their right to vote on Monday. “Advance polls are not necessarily indicative of a higher turnout,” said Friend.

CHERYL WIERDA Black Press
Buddy Tavares came back from Mexico early in the hopes of seeing the police officer charged with assaulting him for the first time since the incident that led to the charge took place in January. However, he’ll have to wait another two weeks to attempt that meeting with Const. Geoffrey Mantler, after the officer’s court cases were dealt with early at the Kelowna courthouse on Tuesday afternoon. Mantler, 28, from Armstrong, was scheduled to make his first court appearance on two charges of assault causing bodily harm — one of which involves Tavares as the alleged victim — at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, but his cases were called at 1:42 p.m., shortly after Mantler arrived in the courtroom. During the brief appearance, Mantler stood silently at the back of courtroom 8 with his hands crossed and clutching a soft-sided briefcase as his lawyer addressed
SEAN CONNOR/BLACK PRESS
Const. Geoff Mantler leaves the Kelowna court house following an appearance Tuesday afternoon. the justice of the peace presiding in the room. Neville McDougall said he had yet to receive disclosure of evidence for either charge and expected to receive that information later this week. He requested the case return to court in two weeks. Mantler said nothing as he left the courthouse and got into a waiting vehicle, driven by another local member of the RCMP.
A few minutes later, Tavares seemed a bit at a loss for words after learning Mantler’s case had been dealt with before he had arrived in the courtroom. “I flew back from Mexico just to hear nothing,� said Tavares. “I wanted him to see me sitting there.� Mantler arrested Tavares at gunpoint on Jan. 7, after police received a call about a man with a gun at the
Harvest Golf Club. During the arrest, which was captured on video by Castanet, Mantler could be seen kicking Tavares in the face while Tavares, who suffered a brain injury last summer, was on all fours. Tavares was initially charged with careless use of a firearm following the arrest, but that charge was later dropped. Mantler was charged with assault causing bodily harm in relation to that arrest last month. At the same time, police and justice officials announced a second charge of assault causing bodily harm against Mantler, related to an Aug. 30 incident. Court records identify the victim in that case as Manjeet Singh Bhatti. Mantler, who is currently suspended with pay, is now scheduled to return to court the afternoon of May 10. Tavares has pledged to return to the courthouse for that date. “I’ll be here every time,� he said.

Approximately 30 Grade 6/7 Kidston Elementary students joined community volunteers and the Society for the Protection of Kalamalka Lake (SPrKL) in celebration of Earth Month. Students spent the day learning about the plant and animal species native to the area, planting vegetation and working on some nature-inspired artwork as part of the Kalavista Lagoon restoration and education project. “We’re just trying to do our bit for the water

News Speedy breeds hit the Lavington track JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
An opportunity to catch some of the fastest-four-legged creatures in action is coming to town. The Whippet Club of B.C. is hosting the season-opener Lure Course Field Trial May 14 and 15 in Lavington on Langford Road. “It’s the very first try of the season,” said Verena von Eichborn, one of the event organizers. Everyone is invited to check out the trials between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. “Last time it was really neat, lots of families were coming and they were betting – not for money, just for fun,” said von Eichborn. Well-behaved dogs on a leash are also welcome as spectators. The two-day event will host approximately 30 dogs from the speediest breeds (known as sighthounds) – Afghan hound, whippet, greyhound, borzoi, Irish wolfhound, and Scottish deerhound. The greyhounds are known as the swiftest of the breeds, reaching speeds of 75-kilometres-an-hour. Since the races might

It is also a good time for anyone interested in sighthounds to connect with other owners as Lavington is trying to establish a training group. For information, call von Eichborn at 250-260-3109.

Snakes strive for RBC record book GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
They have already played more than a full NHL season worth of hockey, but the best is yet to come for the Vernon Vipers. Saturday’s Royal Bank Cup opener against tournament host Camrose Kodiaks will be Vernon’s 84th tilt of the 201011 campaign as they strive to become the first-ever team to record three straight national junior A championships. By this point, there is little more coaches Mark Ferner and Jason Williamson can do with regards to teaching the Vipers. The systems are in place, the character of the team is well-established and the players know what’s at stake. “Jason and I, we have a little saying that…‘the hay is in the barn.’ When the game starts, it’s up to the players. We don’t score the goals, we don’t block the shots,” said Ferner, now in his fourth year behind the Viper bench. With 14 new faces in the lineup to start the season, most pundits wouldn’t have picked the Vipers to repeat as B.C. Hockey League champions, let alone return to the national stage. Ferner credits his veterans for instilling the winning mind-set in the locker room. “The culture that we have is spectacular. They just want to be around the rink,” said Ferner. “We will represent the Vernon Vipers, the B.C. Hockey League, the city.” The Kodiaks haven’t seen action since they bowed to the Spruce Grove Saints in the Alberta championship series on April 9. If there is one thing the layoff has given the Kodiaks, it is healthy bodies. Camrose head coach Boris Rybalka, born in Vernon, expects Tyler Skauge, Jordan Hale, Mario Boilard and Jesse Altheim will return from injury reserve to face the Vipers Saturday. “Those are four guys who didn’t play in the Spruce series. That is four key guys all muckers and grinders; three of the four are 20 year olds,” Rybalka told the Wetaskiwin Times. “You can see where at times one guy coming back makes a difference… we have four.” Rybalka, 44, making his sixth appearance in the RBC tourney, added: “Our goal is that on that Mother’s Day (May 8) we raise that RBC Cup.” Just three Vipers have been through both RBC Cup runs in Victoria and Dauphin, Man. – defencemen Stevie Weinstein and Adam Thompson, and winger Bryce Kakoske. The trio have each competed in at least half a dozen elimination games, including Game 7s in Fred Page and Doyle Cup playoff series, as well as semifinals and goldmedal games at the RBC. “Every game is a Game 7, especially when you get into the playoff round (at the RBC). We’re not strangers to that,” said Weinstein, a Los Angeles product who is committed to the NCAA Division 1 Bentley Falcons. Thompson, who led all Vernon blueliners with two goals and an assist in the Doyle series, says the RBC never gets old. “This one will be a great time too. I’m really excited to do it this time with a whole bunch of new guys,” said the Calgary blueliner, a Yale Bulldogs prospect. “Every year it’s been a new captaincy to raise the cup. My first year it was great to see Crow (Chris Crowell) lift

Defenceman Adam Thompson (left) and assistant coach Jason Williamson share a laugh after the Vernon Vipers won Game 7 of the Doyle Cup championship series last week in Spruce Grove. The Vipers begin their RBC Cup title defence Saturday in Camrose. it, then Krauser (Kevin Kraus) felt even greater, and if Dave (Robinson) gets a chance it’ll be a great feeling for me and the guys.” As is the nature of playoff hockey, the Vipers have endured their share of injury woes. Dane Muench, Max Mowat, Phil Patenaude, Colton Sparrow, Kyle Murphy and Pat McGillis have all missed time to injury at some point during the post-season. Others have simply played through various bumps and bruises. “It’s pretty easy to battle through some wounds when you’re playing for a national championship. We just dig deep, realize what’s on the line and put it all out there,” grinned Thompson. SNAKE BITES: Viper forward Dylan Walchuk was named BCHL Player of the Week. The McBride product had points in each of the Vipers’ three road wins over the host Spruce Grove Saints, helping the Snakes to their third consecutive Doyle Cup. He ended the best-of-seven series with four goals and two assists, and now has a teamleading 21 points in the 23 playoff games...With the ice out at Wesbild Centre, the Vipers have been practising at Priest Valley Arena this week... In four seasons behind the bench, Ferner and Williamson have guided the Vipers to an impressive 165-51-7-17 regular-season record, and are 53-25 in playoff action (not including the RBC).

Monashee storm Sistas
CLIFFORD AUTOMOTIVE
Morning Star Staff
Monashee’s shut down Seasons Sistas 2-0 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division action Tuesday night at Marshall Field #5. The game featured great goalkeeping on both sides, exciting back-and-forth play and some great passing plays. Pam Zalcik for the Sistas made all kinds of acrobatic volleyball type saves, high and low, along with some great throws and kicks up the field. An own-goal off the foot of Sherry Wiebe was just an unfortunate pinball effect that put Monashee in the lead late in the first half. Monashee quickly made it 2-0 early in the second half, but the Sistas seemed to take a hold of the rest of the game with breaks by Coca Fair, Kim Sylvester, Andrea Zubot and Sherry Weibe, all of whom had glorious chances but were stoned by Monashee keeper Peggy Warnes. Weibe played an awesome stopper and sweeper and later in the game, forward, standing out as one of the Sistas’ elite. Leslie Williams and Michelle Bitroff also had steady games on defence. Sue Herring nailed a terrific low shot to the left side on a penalty kick as the Okanagan Impact edged North Okanagan United 1-0 at Marshall Field #1. Herring received the penalty shot after being tackled on a breakaway. The Impact put together several strong drives at the net but keeper Dar Weis was able to easily prevent anymore tallies. Mike Collins and Daniel Ondzik did a superb job coaching the Impact. Players of the game for NOU were Charlotta McNaught, Mel Jacobs, Cheryl Roddis and Sue Barss, who created many scoring chances by outrunning the Impact defence. NOU got great leadership from new coach Mike Sandstra, an amazing game by keeper Wendy Ellis and a clutch all-round effort from Jodi Hawthorne. The Vernon Chick Kickers recorded an early goal and hung on for a 1-0 win over Goplen’s Drillers at Marshall Field #4. Despite starting the game with 10 players and having no subs, everyone on the Drillers contributed to a strong showing. Keeper Shawn Nickoli kept the game close, making some great saves and challenging the Kicker forwards. Coach Darren Zupp praised the Drillers for a gritty effort. The Tillicum Controllers earned a well-deserved 2-2 draw with defending league champion Salmon Arm Setters Pub at Marshall #3. Both teams traded early chances, but it was Setters, off a corner, who converted first, beating keeper Leslie Epp from in close. With the Controllers pushing forward, Deana Baker accepted a nifty header from Michelle Mercer and drove a low shot past the Salmon Arm keeper from seven yards out. It was tied 1-1 at the half. Setters scored early in the second when a clearing attempt was headed past a shocked Epp. Strong midfield play by Krista Backer, Michelle

Wernicke and Krista Copeland kept the Controllers in the game. Trapped in their own end for the last 10 minutes, and giving up five consecutive corners, Setters were in trouble. With less than a minute left, Wernicke sent a ball in and Danielle Dunsmore scored on a wild scramble near the goal line for the equalizer. In Competitive Division play at Marshall Field #2, TED United of Salmon Arm brushed back North Enderby Timber 3-0 United took a 2-0 lead after 15 minutes and held on against the 1-1 Celtics. Gabrielle Ghattas was solid on the NET defence, showing her undying commitment to the team playing with the flu. “I think the only way to keep Gabby off the field would be a broken leg,” said Celtic coach Graham Ross. “She is all heart, and it shows on the field and spreads through the team. Tonia Ghattas was also strong on defence, winning countless headers on corners and the opposing team’s through balls.” Ross said the speed and strength of United’s back line showed, leaving the injury-riddled Celtics with few chances. TED finished the scoring off midway through the second half.

They are still auditioning goaltenders, waiting for a few veterans to finish university courses and have already listed two players on injury reserve. The Vernon Re/Max Tigers, however, will have 18 runners ready to go full tilt in their Thompson-Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League opener versus the Armstrong Shamrocks Saturday night at Wesbild Centre. Last year’s co-coaches Rich Zecchel and Bryan Klein have stepped aside with Zecchel serving and president and GM. In as head coach is Myles Brumpton, the team’s bench boss in 200708. “I’ve really got to thank Bryan and Rich for leaving the team with a winning record and winning attitude,” said Brumpton, a 43-year-old with senior A playing experience with Coquitlam Adanacs, Vancouver Burrards and Brampton Excelsiors. “It’s all new systems and coaches so it’s a 180 for these guys, but they’re smart and willing to learn. I wanted to come back and finish what I started with these guys. It’s in my blood.” The Tigers will sorely miss captain Rob Short, goalie — Myles Josh Phillips, rock-solid Blake Lewis and rugged Braidy Webb, who all aged out except for Phillips, but Brumpton said Vernon will have a good mix of youth and veterans. “Those veterans have left a good foundation, much like
said Brumpton, an executive at Okanagan Spring Brewery. “He’s kind of like Jonathan Toews (NHL Blackhawks). He’s a quiet leader who leads by example, but he’s not afraid to speak up. He oozes leadership qualities.” The alternate captains, who Brumpton describes as “key quality guys”, are Joey Klein, Craig Bigsby, Brennan Plante and Jake Soleway. Field lacrosse ace Ryan Landels is at a junior A camp in Edmonton, while Phillips is pegged to play junior A in Coquitlam. Jake Soleway, who is studying at UBC in Vancouver, is expected to play Saturday. Veteran Miles Jespersen, in the commerce program at the University of Victoria, is doubtful. Other returnees include Darren Kirby, Nolan Frame, Ryan Oliverius, Austin Lewarne and Matt Kolb. Cole Lawrie, a lefty who separated his shoulder in a fight during the Armstrong Ice Breaker, will be out for a few weeks. Highly athletic Chris Hamilton, a lefty, is learning the game on the fly in his first year of lacrosse. Josh Point, who backed up Phillips last season, is in a threeway net detective battle with imports from Cranbrook and Prince George. The Tigers will play a 15-game schedule in the sixteam loop. The Kelowna Warriors and Rutland Raiders have merged and will be known as the Kelowna Raiders. The provincials are the August long weekend in Kamloops.

The Davidson & Co. Dynamite brushed back Concept Physio 3-2 in North Okanagan Men’s Soccer League action Wednesday night at Marshall Field #2. Sean Czerwonka, Carson Haywood-Farmer and David Patino handled the scoring for the Nitros, who improved to 2-0. Enzo Paal on a penalty shot, and Brock Reim, who followed up his header on a corner to put in the rebound, replied for the 0-1 Physio crew. Centre midfielder Kyle Halvorson scored on a pair of gorgeous runs as North Enderby Timber bounced Monashee Surveying 4-1 at Marshall #5. Midfielder Harminder Sandhu scored on a tap in from 12 yards out to make it 2-0 NET, while striker Brent Poulsen, who was marked hard all night by stellar defender Ryan Sharp, completed the offence with his own rebound off keeper Colin McDonell’s stomach. McDonell’s save of the match was a sprawling effort on a 25-yard corker by Devin Janke. Cam Clary countered for Monashee (0-1) on a nifty zig-zag run around a defender. Danny Stein earned the win for 2-0 NET. Turn Key Controls won 1-0 by forfeit over the Revelstoke Stallions.

Vernon was led offensively by Jacob Holland going 1-for1 with two walks and two runs and Tyler Droder with a solid single in the third inning. Game two saw the Cold Stone kids battle Kelowna #2 to a 4-4 tie in six innings.

Club gets boost KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Gary and Shirley Geiger used to coach their daughter, Marla, in junior curling. They did such a good job that Marla (now Mallett) won three Canadian and World junior titles. Knowing the importance of coaching was why the Geigers and the Peachland Curling Club donated money to junior programs throughout the Okanagan when the club dissolved in March. The Vernon club’s Junior Rockslide Curling Camp picked up a $4,700 cheque, personally delivered by the Geigers to club manager Dave Merklinger. “We know Merk and we
coached and co-ordinated juniors in Williams Lake, and juniors are the backbone of the sport,” said Shirley, past president of the Peachland club which burned down in 1974. The club, using insurance money, began raising funds in 1992 in hopes of constructing a new building. A referendum in May of last year to borrow $1.3 million to add to a government grant of $2.6 million for a curling club and multiuse facilily, was voted down 1,303 to 633. Peachland club president Eddy Kyjanka and directors voted to split their remaining assests between junior programs in Peachland, Kelowna and Vernon. “It’s a sad day for the

Maroons mop up Huskies Morning Star Staff
The Fulton Maroons travelled to Okanagan Mission in Kelowna on a big yellow bus Tuesday, but didn’t need many seats since they only had 14 bodies for the game. Despite a rash of injuries and several work commitments, the Maroons managed to brush back the Huskies 26-21 in Okanagan Senior AA Boys Rugby Union action. The Maroons welcome backed big Ben Olson, from a high ankle sprain, and he plowed over a few Huskies while scoring three times. Dalton Anderson contributed one try and converted three. OKM came out strong and scored twice on early possessions, grabbing a 14-0 lead before Fulton touched the ball. “The boys showed tremendous character fighting back the way they did,” said Fulton coach Rick Smith. “Rookie Devon Hascarl played in his first game since Grade 8 and one of the things that pleases a coach the most is that when you teach a skill in practice and a player does exactly that skill to perfection in a game – it is sweet.” Meanwhile, it’s Super Rugby Friday today as the No. 9 Maroons battle the No. 10 Sir Charles Tupper Tigers of Vancouver today (noon) at Grahame Park. OKM takes on the Mulgrave Titans of West Vancouver at 10:30 a.m. at Grahame. At Kalamalka, the Lakers tangle with the No. 1 Collingwood Cavaliers of West Vancouver at 2 p.m., while the Kelowna Christian Knights meet the Alpha Aztecs of Burnaby at 3:30. In junior boys action Tuesday, Fulton grounded the host Salmon Arm Golds 22-15.
The Maroons got tries from Clark Richardson, Sean Greene, Marshall Kazemir and Lucas Hofer. Greene booted one convert. Fulton lacked energy and intensity in the first half and fell behind 10-5. “We played much better in the second half, took the lead and won the game,” said Fulton coach Mike Scheller. “We tackled better, and attacked while on offence. We also began to play much smarter. Shane Gaythorpe has done a great job coaching the forwards, and they played well. They won rucks and mauls, and were very effective in the lineouts.” Added Scheller: “Scrum half Sean Greene had a great game; he was all over the field. He tackled well and directed our offence. Outside centre Bryce Dulaba also played very well, running hard, and he made some nice tackles. Hooker Adam Woods had great energy all game, and threw well in the lineouts. Prop Alex Cox is getting better and better in the scrums.”

Join the fun and help raise $15,000 for the Huntington Society of Canada. The HSC Okanagan Chapter is hosting its fourth annual Run to Finish Huntington’s in Vernon May 28. “This is a great event for families to enjoy, and it’s in support of a great cause,” said Ellie Smith, chapter vice-president. “Last year, we raised just over $14,000 with this event, and our goal this year is to increase it to more than $15,000.” The event begins at 8:30 a.m. with registration at Kin Beach. The run starts at 10 a.m. and participants will have the choice of completing a 7.5-kilometre run, a five-kilometre walk or run or a one-kilometre walk. “Everyone is also invited to enjoy live music and lunch in the park,” said Smith. Huntington’s disease (HD) is a progressive disease of the brain and affects both children and adults, leading to a decline in cognitive and motor skills and a loss of emotional control. “Its impact is relentless, affecting the person’s ability to walk, speak, think and remember,” said Smith. One in 1,000 Canadians is touched by HD, whether at risk, as a caregiver, a family member or a friend. Each child born to a parent with HD has a 50 per cent chance of sharing the same fate. “Though there are no treatments available that will slow down or stop the disease, hope for a meaningful treatment has never been more real,” said Smith.

with careful reallocation of resources, will allow us to offer modest expansion in some areas.

News The effects of that will be mitigated as the college reductions come in programs that have had low enrolment rates in recent years. Those include the apprentice commercial transport vehicle mechanic and the metal fabricator programs. The number of intakes in other programs – apprentice automotive service technician, apprentice carpenter, and apprentice electrician – will be reduced, largely in response to reduced demand.

HST could have a leading role in economy weakness of the U.S. dollar. It’s the kind of expensive insult added to the injury of dealing with two different, complicated sales taxes, and it’s one of many unintended business problems fixed by harmonized sales tax. Despite B.C.’s reputation for movie wizardry, the next Tron might be Tom Fletcher made somewhere else if the HST is rejected. Regular readers will know I am an advocate of the HST, and the general trend away from income taxes and towards consumption taxes. But most people I talk to aren’t interested in the economics, except as it relates to their own wallets. They don’t believe that taxes imposed on business will either be passed on to consumers, or avoided by changing locations. And they are bombarded with bogus arguments in this spring of election fever. Federal NDP leader Jack Layton is the worst

Ask those people if they’d like to lose that benefit, a real example of the kind of income equalizing measure that Dix calls his top priority. Ask a laid-off mill employee if he’d like to go back to work, and pay HST on movies and a dinner out. Further to last week’s column about Dix’s plan to raise corporate tax rates, I now regret referring to his program as “Marxism Lite.” I fell for his strident rhetoric about taxing big corporations. His pro-

(Presumably Layton has been briefed by now that B.C.’s portion of the HST doesn’t apply to heating bills, so he won’t confuse us with Ontario any more.) Dix talks about HST falling on small business. There is an impact on service businesses, notably restaurants, but ask a self-employed person or small business operator if they’d like to go back to administering two different sales taxes.

NDP, Layton knows he will never have to implement his promises in government, so he offers to write off the $1.6 billion transition fund that B.C. has applied to its deficit. In effect, the rest of the provinces would subsidize B.C. for bringing back an archaic sales tax. That’s not even Layton’s dumbest idea. He’s been wandering the country promising to remove GST from heating bills, a $700 million tax cut that would help

ven if movies based on video games aren’t your cup of tea, the recent Disney production Tron: Legacy is notable as a measure of the sophistication of the B.C. motion picture industry. A showcase of the latest computergenerated 3D effects, including a rendering of actor Jeff Bridges as he looked in the original version 30 years ago, Tron: Legacy was nominated for an Oscar and won several other awards for technical achievement. The sleek, lighted suits worn by characters were custom-made in the United States at a cost of $22 million, then brought to Vancouver for filming. Due to the vagaries of the old provincial sales tax, Disney had to pay about $1.5 million in PST because they were used here. A friend in the business tells me this was more of a deterrent to movie production in B.C. than the current

Concert is something to harp about It seems like an odd combo, mixing the angelic harp with the Klezmer-polka sounds of the accordion, and the classical-chamber style of the cello, but for harpist Caroline Mackay, it’s a musical match made in heaven. It’s that melding of sounds the audience will hear when new trio Crimson Rich joins the Okanagan Harp Orchestra for its annual Spring Fling concert at the Schubert Centre in Vernon Saturday. “The harp and accordion go really well together. I have a colleague in Toronto who has been performing with an accordionist, and there’s groups in Europe that feature the two instruments,” said Mackay, who is based in West Kelowna but travels to Kelowna, Vernon and Kamloops on a weekly basis to teach at the three community music schools. Crimson Rich started after accordionist Rod Miller contacted Mackay through her High Spirits website. The two soon discovered how much their instruments work well together. They then enlisted cellist Max DeBesson to join them. The trio plans to perform one composition in a tribute to Mother’s Day, Amma (which means mother), written by Sarah MacNabb, whose mother plays in

It really is beautiful,” said Mackay, adding the orchestra will back up the trio for the piece. Consisting of 10 of Mackay’s current and former harp students who live throughout the valley, the Okanagan Harp Orchestra has been performing around the valley for approximately three years now, but started many years before that as an ensemble. In July, a number of the orchestra members will attend the World Harp Conference, being held this year in
Vancouver, where they will be exposed to the best of the harp world, said Mackay. “This will be great for us... Our members are amateurs in the best sense of the word, and they really love what they are doing. We mostly consist of adults, but we’ve had some younger members over the years as well.” Known for its versatile repertoire that includes Celtic music, rhythmic Latin, classical and some original pieces, the orchestra is about breaking down the barriers of the often misunderstood instrument. “Whatever you thought the harp was,
it is and more,” said Mackay. “It can be
angelic, and also spicy like a habanero pepper, and is also powerful in the genres of folk and Celtic. It is so versatile.” An acclaimed Celtic harpist and recording artist, Mackay is also known for her voice, and will sing along to a number of pieces including a Finnish traditional love song as well as a South American composition, at the Spring Fling concert. “There will also be dreamy Celtic and some stomping Celtic as well,” she added. Crimson Rich and the Okanagan Harp Orchestra perform A Spring Fling at the Schubert Centre, 3305 30th Ave., Saturday at 2 p.m. Tickets are at the door, and cost $10 for adults and $5 for seniors and students.

Arts Tapestry director has long history in voice
Friday, April 29, 2011 - The Morning Star B3
Contributed to The Morning Star
The four elements are about to be woven by a group of female vocalists and their esteemed leader when Tapestry performs in two concerts at Armstrong’s Centennial Theatre Monday. Led by Deborah Mehes, a music specialist in the North Okanagan-Shuswap school district, Tapestry currently consists of 32 women who enjoy a diverse and unique variety of music. Formed by Mehes, who also teaches at Len Wood Middle School, in 2006, Tapestry provides concerts both at Christmas and in the spring. The theme for this season’s concert is the four elements –– earth, air, fire and water –– with each song reflecting some aspect of those elements, said Tapestry member Dorianne Kohl. “From classic to jazzy, modern and romantic, the concert promises to provide something for everyone,” she said. Mehes’ roots in choral music go back many years, and were the focus of her post secondary education while studying at the University of British Columbia, where she received her music degree in vocal performances. After graduation, she worked as a professional backup vocalist and studio singer before becoming a teacher. A founding member of Phoenix, one of Canada’s premiere vocal ensembles, Mehes also sang with the Vancouver Cantata Singers, the Vancouver Chamber Choir, Little Mountain Singers, and Elektra women’s choir.

Members of Tapestry Women’s Choir prepare to perform two spring concerts at Armstrong’s Centennial Theatre Monday, May 2. After 18 years teaching music in the Lower Mainland, Mehes and her family moved to Armstrong in 1997 to enjoy the benefits of living in a smaller community. After starting her work with the school district, Mehes formed the North Okanagan-Shuswap Children’s Honour Choir, a group that went one to be one of only 50 children’s choirs worldwide invited to perform at a prestigious international festival of children’s choirs in Vancouver in 2001. In 2002, Mehes was hired as a choral and music theatre specialist by the American International School in Buenos
Aires, Argentina, and took a leave of absence from the school district to move with her family to South America. After experiencing the excitement and challenges of a different culture, Mehes returned to Armstrong with her husband, Steve, in 2005, and says she plans to continue to share her passion for music as long as there are people who love to sing. Tapestry takes the stage at the Centennial Theatre, 305 Pleasant Valley Rd., Monday at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $7, available in advance at the Brown Derby Café in Armstrong (250-546-8221), or get them at the door.

He reaches back into the past, specifi-

‘Ms. Music ‘ opens her studio at Caetani centre Morning Star Staff
Music is blooming for the month of May at the Caetani Cultural Centre. Local musician/ instructor Devon Muhlert is hosting a musical meditation at her studio in the Caetani centre, former home to artist Sveva Caetani, for four consecutive weeks starting this Tuesday night and continuing every Tuesday throughout May. “Sveva Caetani was
Devon Muhlert primarily a visual artist, but she also found a creative outlet in poetry that went with her Recapitulation series,” said Muhlert. “She also
once painted a canvas to a Beethoven symphony, and replicated his sweeping swirls and accent points visually. “She wanted to encourage all the arts, and it’s why she bequeathed her family home to the city of Vernon, so that artists of all persuasions might have a working space.” Muhlert is also starting a vocal group open to women who love to sing and for those who have always wanted to.
The sessions, which start Thursday at 7 p.m., will begin with easy rounds that will lead into three-part harmony, she said. Named Ms. Music by her students, Muhlert says she loves to share the gift of music in its many manifestations. She also teaches guitar, flute, saxo-
phone, and songwriting out of her studio. A June 12 concert featuring her students will take place at the Caetani centre, and will be reprised at Gallery Vertigo June 18. Both start at 2 p.m. For more information, contact Muhlert at 250-542-3228.

Ancient art goes on show MANFRED HARTER Special to The Morning Star
Iaido: ee eye dough is the English pronunciation, the phonetic breakdown of that unique and most esoteric activity that no self-respecting martial art film could do without and still draw an interest. The first lesson then is that the pronunciation of this 500-year old word should be correct. With similarities from the dawn of European Crusades, the antics of the Three Musketeers, to the adventures of Errol Flynn and Johnny Depp and his buccaneers, the underlying themes are the appeal of the blade, its own mystique and the secrets of its use for villain and hero alike. In feudal Japan, around the year 1600, a man who lived by the sharpness and speed of his sword was to reinvent the manner in which it would be wielded. Hayashisake Jinsuke Shigenobu Minamoto dared to write his ideas, practise them and teach those new techniques. After his father was killed, he went to a shrine, prayed for guidance, received divine inspiration and from there sought successful revenge. He established a new school which today is called Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu. There have been many subsequent leaders and practitioners who followed in his footsteps and who have become familiar names over the last 400 and some years. New ideas were implemented and as related martial arts practices show, there are always new tricks to add to the trades. In essence, the practise of Iaido, as part of the samurai survival repertoire (budo), deals primarily with the history of many years of feudal warfare, intrigue, arts, and the quest for that next meal, not so far removed from the needs of a guitar player, or for that matter anyone else. In particular it is a study of the sword, one’s physical condition and a continuous consideration of a zen attitude in regards to the self, under conditions of conflict or tranquility and how to perceive and accept such human traits. The Canadian Iaido Association (CIA) was established in consultation with the All-Japan Iaido Federation for the purpose of administering Dan examinations and to promote Iaido in Canada. The CIA was accepted as a registered society March 2, 1993 and in April of that year, the University of Victoria Kendo Club hosted the first seminar. The first visiting dignitary and practising instructor, Seigen Eisaka, 10th Dan Hanshi, came to Victoria to hold a three-day seminar. Letters of

STORK REPORT
CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
Manfred Harter works his way through a sequence of actions in the Seiza No Bu series of Eishinryū, a form of ancient sword art, during a demonstration at his Coldstream residence. Attorney were passed to Ted Davis Sensei, who took up leadership until he passed away recently. In Vernon, on Saturday, there will be a practice seminar with Iaidoka (practitioners and instructors) from Parksville, Victoria and Vancouver. These are our current instructors and the carriers of the training traditions as we know them here in Western Canada. From Kelowna, the tradition is upheld by Randy Martin, a strong practitioner of Iaido and related martial arts forms. In Vernon the training classes will be open
to a small viewing public and will be held at the Harwood elementary school gym at 4320 – 20 St., with classes at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Admission is free. At this time of giving information about Iaido in Vernon, it is with regret that a member in good standing for a number of years, Sid Beck from Lumby, has laid his sword to rest after giving in to the ravages of an illness on April 17. For any further information you can telephone Manfred Harter at 250-5491260. You can also visit the CIA website at www.iaido.ca and meet our instructors.

They refused to return the money, and it took us six years to pay off the debt they incurred. My in-laws recently retired without any savings and rely on Social Security to make ends meet. It didn’t stop them from remodeling their home via credit cards. Now we are told we must assist them financially during their retirement. This would cut into our own retirement savings, leaving our future questionable. They claim their children owe it to them in their old age.

I know I should let this go, but it bothers me that another holiday season has passed without so much as a current photo. They frequently post pictures on Facebook about the parties they attend and their recent purchases, so I know it’s not a financial issue. And frankly, even a card would be nice. Should I say something or continue to watch my children’s quiet disappointment? — Annoyed in the Midwest Dear Annoyed: Your brother already knows they are remiss when it comes to gifts. You cannot demand presents,
but you can ask if they would please send a current photograph. Your other choice is to stop sending their children gifts unless you receive something in return. But please do not encourage your children to make an issue of this. Most kids don’t notice what is missing unless someone points it out. Dear Annie: You have printed letters from readers whose family members are drug addicts and alcoholics. I am a recovering cocaine addict. I stole from my family to maintain my $100a-day habit and maxed out all my credit cards. My family put me through drug rehab and talked to me without success. When they finally stopped offering help, I had to make it on my own.
Leaving me to my chosen cocaine world was best. Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous are absolutely vital in any recovering program. And do not ever stop praying for the addict. Prayers and good intentions by those who loved me

The Beauty of the Hebrew language: The 19th letter of the Hebrew language Koph (Psa. 119:145) meaning “to go around:” Lev. 19:27:”Ye shall not round the corners of your heads.” Gesenius records this as: “Ye shall not go in circle (in shaving) the outer part of your head.” One can see how the shape of the letter does suggest the back of the head: the occiput or cranium, part of the brain.

Life Bird sanctuary goes native
Davison opens in royal style Morning Star Staff
In spite of the cool weather, Davison Orchards has been busy preparing both inside and out to re-open for the 2011 season. The kitchen has been a buzz of activity all winter preparing the jams and preserves. The tomato, pepper and melon plants are waiting anxiously for warmer soil so they can escape the crowded greenhouse. The gift shop is overflowing with specially selected unique gifts. Bob and Dora are busy planting their signature flower baskets to adorn the front of the Country Village, and the Cafe is getting ready for a very special opening this year. “If the walls in the old farm house could talk, they would be whispering excitedly over the upcoming royal wedding,” said Tamra
Davison. “ Auntie May, who grew up in England and immigrated to Vernon in 1927, was a proper English lady and loved to serve tea to her family and friends right out of the original farm house now known as Auntie May’s Deep Dish Cafe.” Celebrating its English roots (and the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton), Davison Orchards will be serving up a “royal opening” today in Auntie May’s Deep Dish Cafe. In addition to the regular fare, throughout the weekend, Auntie May’s will be serving tea in china cups, a delicious vanilla slice and the Prince’s childhood favourite, chocolate-cookie-cake, that is also being served at the Prince’s wedding reception. Check out the website for the recipe at www.daviso-

How can one both reduce water consumption and attract bird species to an area? The Bishop Wild Bird Sanctuary in Coldstream aims to do so by converting a large expanse of lawn into a native plant garden. “The property already attracts many resident and migratory birds and the garden will create even more habitat for wildlife, including birds and beneficial insects and butterflies,” said resident caretaker, Aaron Deans. “If we can do this and also reduce our water use, what could be better?” This weekend, volunteers will be able to learn about xeriscape gardening as Deans, along with 12 Master Gardeners, install more than 50 native species and 1,200 individual plants. “Volunteers will get an opportunity to get hands-on practical knowledge from Master Gardeners so they can convert parts of their own yards into native plant species,” said Deans. Longtime Coldstream resident and bird enthusiast Lydia Bishop left her property on Kalamalka Lake as
a sanctuary in 1980. Over the years, many thousands of volunteer hours have transformed the Bishop property from the home of an amateur bird watcher to a first-class bird sanctuary. Deans, a professional biologist, along with his wife, Laisha Rosnau, a novelist and poet and Vernon native, and their two young children became resident caretakers last spring. The sanctuary provides education programs for local students. “We focus on slowing children down, to let them have the time to sit quietly and observe, to connect with the natural world,” said Deans. “Research shows that unstructured time outside is necessary for a child’s development — that is probably true for adults as well.” Deans encourages all those interested in xeriscape gardening to take part this weekend. The Xeriscape Planting and Native Plant Garden Party will take place Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 12408 Coldstream Creek Rd. Limited parking is available on the street.

Province rings up phone town halls on HST TOM FLETCHER Black Press
The B.C. government’s outreach on the harmonized sales tax got underway Wednesday evening with telephone town hall meetings for Surrey and the Peace River region, the first of a series of regional forums that aims to ring every listed home phone in B.C. The first forum was originally set for Tuesday evening in the southern coast and northern Vancouver Island, but it was postponed because of the Vancouver Canucks playoff game. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon, who will take questions at some of the forums, said further schedule changes may be made to avoid calling people on Canucks game nights. Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n Minister Blair Lekstrom is sharing the town hall duties with Falcon. Lekstrom has been given a high profile in the government’s HST effort since returning to the B.C. Liberal caucus after quitting last year due to his constituents’ protests over the introduction of the HST. He said he expects to hear questions about the workings of the HST, and also some of the objections that have battered the B.C. Liberal government since the tax was introduced. But after people have lived with the HST for nearly 10 months, Lekstrom said he is more optimistic it will be supported in a mailin referendum set to begin in mid-June. He credits Premier Christy Clark’s effort to give the public a say. “The willingness to go out and engage the public in these telephone town hall meetings, the opportunity to have their views heard, is exactly what should
have happened 18 months ago,” Lekstrom said. Lekstrom and Falcon will be sharing the telephone town hall duties until all regions have had a turn. Subject to change as the Vancouver Canucks playoff run continues, the schedule
is as follows: Southern Interior, May 3, 6:45 p.m. Victoria, May 3, 7:15 p.m. Northern Interior and North Coast, May 4, 6:45 p.m. Burnaby, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster, May 4,
7:15 p.m. Okanagan, May 9, 6:45 p.m. Fraser Valley, May 9, 7:15 p.m. Vancouver, May 12, 6:45 p.m. (Calls for May 3, 4, 9 and 12 may be moved due to the Canucks games.)
“The opportunity to have their views heard, is exactly what should have happened 18 months ago.” — Blair Lekstrom

DRINKING WATER WEEK MAY1-7
Here in B.C. we often take ke our ta tap ap water for granted, but itt is a fin finite nite resource that we should d value
at a glance in the North Okanagan
and protect.
Kalamalka Lake and Duteau Creek are the Greater Vernon Water Utility's (GVWU) two main drinking water sources
We need to value our drinking water When you turn on your tap and clean, safe water comes out,do you ever stop to think: how does it get there? Who brings it you? Where does it end up when you’re nished with it? BC Water & Waste Association and the Province of British Columbia cially proclaimed Drinking Water Week May 1st to 7th, 2011. We invite you to celebrate this exciting week by “getting to know your H2O” – including where it comes from, where it goes, and how you can protect and conserve it.Here in B.C., where we have an abundance of natural resources, we often take our tap water for granted. However, there is no such thing as ‘new water’ – the water that we use continually cycles through the environment, and is reused again and again. British Columbians personally use an average of 490 litres of water per day compared to the Canadian average of 329 litres per day. That is about double what Europeans use!Although it may not be ap-parent to all of us, the costs and energy required to deliver water to our taps, treat it to be safe and clean, and safeguard the environment by managing wastewater, add up to billions of dollars every year in Canada. Daisy Foster, CEO of the 4,400-member BC Water & Waste Association notes, “Increases in our population, the growth of
Water
industry and agriculture, and the effects of climate change all place enormous pressure on our water supply.”Drinking Water Week, May 1st - 7th, is dedicated to creat-ing awareness of the value of our water, our water systems, and the people who make it accessible and safe for us to drink. Many communities throughout B.C. are holding events to celebrate Drinking Water Week, including hosting tours of their local reservoirs and treatment plants, and we encourage you to take the time to visit them. Check nd out about events in your community, or visit www.drinkingwaterweek. org for activities and educational resources provided by the BC Water & Waste Association.
Kalamalka Lake drinking water is treated with Ultra Violet Light Technology (no filtration) Duteau Creek drinking water is now treated with Dissolved Air Flotation Technology(no filtration) Only the upper 1.5 meters of the valley lakes are replenished each year. 55% of the Okanagan's water is for Agriculture. GVWU is working with partners to implement an Okanagan Irrigation Management Program. *Source: Okanagan Sustainable Water Strategy Action Plan 1.0,

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Although it might take some patience, benefits will come to you when you least expect, so let life unfold its way. It’s the end result that counts, and yours look pretty good. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Although it is going to take some effort on your part, something you seek will come through several people who like you and want to see you get what you deserve and desire. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Don’t treat indifferently any of your hunches about things that could transpire in the near future. Act on them; your perceptions are likely to be significant and right on the money. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your hopes and the things you envision are actually achievable. It’s OK to elevate your expectations, as well as ignore those people who want to throw a wet blanket on them. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) If you believe you can operate with greater efficacy on your own, by all means don’t hesitate to disengage yourself from somebody who is negative and tends to throw you off-course. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) It’ll be worthwhile to maintain harmonious, civil relationships with co-workers, even if you have to keep your opinions and methods to yourself. Placate them with what they want to hear. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Don’t be hesitant to take a calculated risk on something you have thoroughly thought out, because conditions that
have a direct effect on your career and earnings look quite good. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If your mate seems to be a bit testy, pamper him or her a bit more than you usually do. It’ll calm down your soul mate and let things get back to normal once again. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) If you take plenty of time to analyze and carefully study an important issue, all of its ramifications will eventually become clear. Act on it only after you’ve done your homework.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Your optimism allows you to see the brighter side of people and the involvements you have with them. Your attitude can help dissipate what others find so serious and overwhelming. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Go ahead and depend on your perceptions. Your mind is even more creative than usual, and will find workable ways to add to your resources. Give them a try.
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.
