Crash claims lives ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Michaela Hamilton of Vernon Secondary School sits as a judge beside Provincial Court Judge M. Takahashi in a mock trial Saturday at the Vernon Courthouse. The stately building was open to the public Saturday to celebrate its 100th birthday.
Courthouse’s 100th draws a crowd ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
It stands majestic in its corner location, the east side of 27th Street and north side of 30th Avenue. Been that way for a century. Yet on Saturday, close to 1,000 people came to see the inside of the Vernon Courthouse as the stately building celebrated its 100th birthday. “There were lots of people who have lived in Vernon their entire lives who had never been in the building,” said Rob Culos of the Vernon Bar Association, the group that organized the fourhour open house. “We were so delighted with the response. We had no idea what to expect. I led some tours, as did some other lawyers, and we had tours of 30 or 40 people bumping into each other in the basement.” Tours of the three-storey building were included and capacity crowds filled to watch mock trials conducted by Vernon Secondary Law 12 students in the various courtrooms, including the gorgeous Supreme Court 301, the biggest of the courtrooms complete with its original wood gallery seats. The stain glass window depicting the provin-

cial coat of arms on the building’s main floor was also a hit, as were the jail cells in the basement. “The people were very impressed with the architecture and trim,” said Culos. “It’s a very
pleasant building to be in.” Opened in 1914, and built for nearly $200,000, the Vernon Courthouse was, at one point, the largest such facility outside of the Lower Mainland.

An accident between an SUV and a motorcycle Sunday night on Westside Road in Vernon claimed the lives of the two people on the bike. Vernon RCMP say a southbound SUV pulled out to pass a vehicle along a divided line at around 9 p.m. near Mary’s Emerald Bay Road when it collided with a northbound motorcycle. “Two people on the motorcycle died at the scene,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The driver of the SUV, the lone occupant of the vehicle, was not injured. All three people are from the North Okanagan, though police and the B.C. Coroners Service had not released any names, ages or genders as of The Morning Star’s press deadline Tuesday. Molendy k said Monday morning that, at this part of the early investigation, police are saying that alcohol and drugs do not appear to be factors in the crash. Both vehicles were taken in for mechanical inspections. Westside Road was closed to traffic for a number of hours as police and the coroner conducted their investigation, and crews cleaned up debris from the accident.

Chamber hires new manager
Ready To Sail
Morning Star Staff
JOHN OLAFSON PHOTO
A boat is lifted into the water as part of Crane Day at the Vernon Yacht Club Saturday. The event means boating season has officially been launched on Okanagan Lake.
Police seize cocaine and LSD time the officer was dealing with him,” said Gord Molendyk, spokesperson for the Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP. The 23-year-old Armstrong man was arrested for possession for the purpose of trafficking as about 30 grams of cocaine, some magic mushrooms, LSD, and meth, along with more than $500 in cash, were seized. The police officer found it interesting that the man had a jacket in his vehicle which had the letters CSTC in bold print on it. Written under the bold letters was “CAN’T STOP THE CROOKS.”
ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Police may not be able to stop the crooks sometimes, but they can hinder them. Shortly after 5:30 p.m. on April 10, a Vernon North Okanagan Traffic Services officer noticed a man driving a vehicle within the City of Vernon while talking on a cell phone. The driver was stopped. “While the officer was dealing with him, it was apparent that this person was active in the drug trade as the three cell phones he had kept ringing the whole
The driver was issued a ticket for being a class seven novice driver who was on his cell phone, he was not displaying a N on the back of the vehicle and no validation tag displayed on his licence plate. He received a total of $380 in traffic fines and has been released on a promise to appear for a July 10 court date to deal with the drug-related offences. “The officer’s comment about the jacket was, ‘We might not be able to stop the crooks, but perhaps we can slow them down a bit and maybe they don’t mind paying for some of their actions,’” said Molendyk.
There’s a new face at the helm of the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce. Dan Rogers will take over from George Duffy as the chamber’s general manager Tuesday. “I am eager to get to work with the chamber’s board in helping the business community grow and prosper,” he said. “I also look forward to working with chamber members and collaborating with other community organizations, to build a stronger chamber and community.” Duffy plans to return to the Dan Rogers commercial sector. Victoria-born, Rogers has spent 30 years in Prince George in marketing and communications. He is a former mayor of Prince George and he co-chaired that city’s bid committee for the 2015 Canadian Winter Games. For the past year, he has been providing communication consulting services. “For our business community to continue to prosper, we need a chamber manager with an unusual blend and depth of skills in advocacy, marketing and business management. It’s a difficult role to fill,” said Adrian Johnson, Greater Vernon chamber president. “Dan has a diverse commercial background working for small companies, non-profit organizations and a crown corporation. In addition, his experience with local government will be tremendously valuable in advocating for a better environment for doing business.”

Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe of the recent concerns that the $1 an hour rate on 30th Avenue is negatively impacting businesses. The reduced rates at the parkade and the 29th Street parking lot will cost the city about $7,000 in revenue. Coun. Brian Quiring says it was too late in the 2014 budget cycle to radically change parking policy, but he wants to see overall rates considered in future years as a way of supporting merchants. “Right now we’re doing a disservice to downtown. Parking is just too expensive.” Pickleball proceeds Pickleball enthusiasts will have a place to gather in Vernon. City council has approved the painting of pickleball court lines at the MacDonald Park tennis court for the 2014 season. “Adding pickleball lines at MacDonald Park will make the courts multi-sport and will not exclude the playing of tennis,” said Doug Ross, recreation director. It will cost about $1,500 to paint the lines. City staff will also develop plans for potential projects that will further enhance the ability to play picketball and those plans will be considered during the 2015 budget process.

Library ready to reopen RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Reading enthusiasts are getting some good news. The Vernon branch of Okanagan Regional Library will fully reopen April 23 after flooding in February caused extensive damage on the main floor. “We’re pretty excited,” said Michelle Rule, ORL communications manager. Michelle Rule “It’s opening quicker than we expected. The Stutters Restoration crew has been flying.” Flooding occurred Feb. 10 after a pipe burst.
Damage was caused to carpets, walls, furniture and some books. Since then, most of the main floor has been closed off to the public and books and programs have only been available on the second floor. “Our patrons have been really supportive of our staff during this time and we appreciate that,” said Rule. The library will be closed as usual for the Easter weekend (Friday to Monday) as well as Tuesday to allow staff to restock the shelves. With the full reopening of the branch, Wednesday story time and after-school board games will resume and there will be puppet plays April 25 at 3:30 p.m. and April 26 at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Keep doors locked to prevent thefts ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Now that spring and its warmer weather has arrived in the North Okanagan, the local constabulary is, again, issuing a couple of important reminders. The first involves the annual appearance of what’s known as the “Green Thumb Burglar.” “This is a person who will take advantage of people who are out gardening and because the weather is so nice, have left their doors and windows Gord Molendyk open to let in the fresh air while they’re out working in the yard,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “This creates the crime of opportunity for individuals to be in and out of your house quickly and undetected. Sometimes it is hours or a day before you realize some items from your home have been stolen.” “Keep doors and windows locked while you’re in your backyards, and pay attention to suspicious activity in your neighbourhoods.”
For the record The name of Armstrong Spallumcheen Parks and Recreation’s Byron Sayer was misspelled in an article in The Morning Star Sunday. The Morning Star apologizes for the error.
Police are also reminding residents to not leave valuable items in their vehicles. Over the weekend, officers responded to about half-a-dozen thefts from vehicles where people left their valuables in the car. “Several vehicles were not even locked up,” said Molendyk, adding that the thefts occurred in both city and rural areas.

Waste water sought for local crops RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Local agriculture could eventually be fuelled by treated waste water. The City of Vernon will lobby the provincial government to expand the uses for its spray irrigation program under the proposed liquid waste management plan. Currently, treated effluent water just goes

on to cattle pastures, parks and golf courses. “In Florida, they use reclaimed water for crops,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham after council approved 16 recommendations Monday. “They need to recognize the value of our reclaimed water.” The Ministry of Health has been reluctant to expand irrigation to food crops, but a consultant with Urban Systems points out that many of the tomatoes local residents purchase in the store are irrigated by treated waste water
in California. “There are conflicting regulations that handcuff what land can be used for spray irrigation,” said Ehran Lee, a water engineer. “These regulations need to be addressed.” Vernon’s spray irrigation program also means the city isn’t pumping treated effluent into Okanagan Lake as other communities do regularly. The concept is unpopular with many Vernon residents. “If we’re trying to maintain an opportunity not to discharge
into the lake, we need to expand the land base,” said Cunningham of Vernon’s expected population growth over the next 20 years. “We have highquality water after it’s treated.” Lake discharge would remain as an option during emergencies. It’s expected the total price tag for the liquid waste management plan is $38.5 million over 20 years. Of that, $25.3 million would come from new customers, $1.8 million from existing sewer ratepayers and $11.3 million from taxpayers. “These are the best guess of the costs but they will be offset by efficiencies in the system,” said Greg Thompson, the city’s municipal financial

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING APublic Hearing will be held in the Council Chambers of the Lumby Village Hall, 1775 Glencaird Street, Lumby, B.C. on Tuesday April 22, 2014 at 6:30 p.m. to hear representations on the following matter: VILLAGE OF LUMBY ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 752, 2013 [Medical Marihuana Production Facilities] The intent of Bylaw No. 752, 2013 is to amend the Village of Lumby Zoning Bylaw No. 750, 2012 to establish regulations related to medical marihuana production facilities. In this regard, Bylaw No. 752 proposes to: • Permit medical marihuana production facilities within the General Industrial ( I.2) Zone; • Prohibit medical marihuana production facilities in all other Zones; • Establish specific property line setback and parking standards for medical marihuana production facilities located on properties within the General Industrial (1.2) Zone.
A public open house will be held on Wednesday, April 23rd, from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm at the City of Vernon Council Chambers. City staff and the consulting engineers (Kerr Wood Leidal) for the project will be in attendance to answer any question you may have. 20th Street from 30th Crescent to 37th Avenue sewer main will be relined using a “no dig” construction method. Construction method, traffic management and pedestrian access through and around the site will be the priority of discussion with this meeting. For more information on this project please call City of Vernon Design Technician John Box at 250-550-3634, attend the public open house or visit http://www.vernon.ca/20St
technician. There could also be federal and provincial grants to improve watershed health. “The environment is the purview of senior government,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. As a way of reducing costs and easing pressure on the overall sewer treatment process, residents could be urged to conserve indoor water, such as flushing toilets. Greater public acceptance of turning sewer sludge into the Ogogrow fertilizer is also included in the plan. Much of the program would revolve around controlling odours. The liquid waste management plan must still be accepted by the Ministry of Environment.
All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by this Bylaw shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard at the Public Hearing or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the Bylaw. Copies of Zoning Text Amendment Bylaw No. 752, 2013 may be inspected at the office of the Village of Lumby from Monday April 14, 2014 through Tuesday April 22, 2014 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding statutory holidays. For further information, please contact Marnie Skobalski of the Planning Department at (250) 550-3737 or by e-mail at marnie.skobalski@rdno.ca.

RCMP are now investigating a suspected arson in Lake Country. On April 4 at about 12:42 a.m., there was a structure fire in the 11000 block of Lang Court. “A single-family house and a recreational vehicle sustained significant damage as a result of the blaze,” said Cst. Jesse O’Donaghey, with the RCMP. “The occupants of the residence were home at the time of the fire and exited their home safely.” Police are treating the fire as suspicious. “Anyone who may have witnessed any persons or vehicles in the area at the time of the fire is asked to call the Lake Country RCMP at 250-766-2288,” said O’Donaghey.

Market support canvassed RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon politicians want assurances that main street merchants back a public market. Instead of endorsing the Downtown Vernon Association’s plans for a market Friday nights on 30th Avenue, city council instructed the DVA Monday to canvas businesses on their level of support. “I’ve talked to a few businesses and they don’t support it,” said Coun. Bob Spiers. The DVA has been given until April 28 to canvas the businesses on 30th Avenue and report its findings back to Lara Konkin council. “I’m disappointed but we will go and get written surveys from the merchants,” said Lara Konkin, DVA executive director. “We’ve spoken to every business we could and I am convinced we have the support of merchants on 30th Avenue.” The DVA is seeking the closure of portions of 30th Avenue Fridays from 3 to 8 p.m. from May 2 to Sept. 26. The market was originally supposed to move
every week from one end of 30th Avenue to the other, but the current proposal now calls for the event to remain in one location for a much longer period. “At my end of town, the market will be there June, July, August and September,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham, who has a business on 30th Avenue. Among the concerns are the market may impact traffic flow for businesses, reduce parking and the vendors may create competition for merchants. “I want to make sure there is buy-in from the merchants down there. If a majority wants it, I will support it whole-heartedly,” said Cunningham. City staff asked the DVA not to shift the market weekly because it would reduce the impact on traffic and transit routes. Support for the DVA’s plans came from Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe. “This has gone through a large process at the DVA,” she said, adding that the event will help draw people downtown. “It’s an evening retail market so it should be exciting.” Konkin says many vendors were counting on a positive response from city council Monday. “This delay may cause a delay in our proposal,” she said.
Barn blaze prompts warning RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Enderby residents are being warned about spring burning after a barn went up in flames. Firefighters responded to a barn fire in the 200 block of Brash Allen Road Monday at about 4 p.m. “It was fully involved when we got there,” said Kevin Alstad, fire chief. The incident occurred when the property owner was burning grass and the fire got out of control
and converged on the barn, which was about 40 feet long and 15 feet wide. “The barn was full of hay and away she went,” said Alstad of the blaze.
A neighbour used a loader to break up the hay so the firefighters could access the fire and bring it under control. The Enderby Fire Department has dealt
with a few grass fires in recent days. “It’s getting pretty dry out there. Make sure you have water, rakes and some help if you’re going to do any burning,” said Alstad. Family Owned & Operated Offers valid ‘til April 19, 2014

Shoulder aches and pains are common, but because our arms seldom get a rest, these aches often become chronic injuries: knots, spasms, frozen shoulder and tendonitis.

Therapy, the only therapy I found to get rid of my pain and heal my injury. Shockwave, developed to break up kidney stones, can break down scar tissue and stimulate new blood vessel growth, promoting proper muscle function and restarting the healing process.
It is in those injuries that have lingered for months or years where shockwave shines. If you have chronic shoulder injuries, don’t give up hope. If I had, I would not be in practice today.
Glenmore Chiropractic
Most therapies have an affect only on new injuries that are days to weeks old. Once scar tissue forms and healing stops (chronic), we are at the mercy of the injury. Over and over in my practice I hear, “I have been dealing with this injury for months or years and tried everything. Nothing has worked… what do I do?”
According to the Journal of the American Medical Association 2005, shockwave therapy had a 91% success rate for the treatment of calcific Rotator Cuff Tendonitis. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.
I tell them about the tennis elbow and shoulder tendonitis I had, both of which nearly caused me to shut down my practice. I talk about the multitude of therapies I tried to no avail. Then I talk about Shockwave

Timing is everything
K class, can you spell optics? North Okanagan-Shuswap school trustees have found themselves under the spotlight after agreeing to increase their base remuneration from $9,855 to $11,710. Now it should be pointed out that the decision was made after a review of trustee salaries around the province indicated North Okanagan-Shuswap officials are among the lowest paid (there hasn’t been a raise since 2010). “We are just getting way too far behind and then we will never catch up,” said trustee Bob Fowler. “We make far less than our municipal counterparts and we deal with 10 times the budget and 800 employees.” It was pointed out that the district has a $69 million annual budget. “This is a hard job, with hard decisions we Richard Rolke have to make,” said trustee Chris Coers. “This isn’t a hike to put us up at the top. It’s an increase to put us in the middle. It’s time to be realistic.” And Coers raises a good point as the work of elected officials is taken for granted by the general public. The compensation doesn’t make up for the time away from family or careers, or the sleepless nights that come from decisions that impact families and district employees. There has to be a way to recognize the efforts of trustees and that can only be financial. However, increasing remuneration must be put in context. If government funding comes in as expected, the district will be short $1.8 million for 2014/15 and that means the budget axe will swing once again. In fact, at the same meeting that saw trustees hike wages, they voted unanimously to

scrap the adult continuing education program in Enderby, Armstrong, Salmon Arm and Sicamous. Cancellation seems like a no-brainer as the program had an operating deficit of $119,108 but it will have a significant impact on those adults who are trying to upgrade their education so they can pursue careers and become productive members of society. Some will be able to access classes at Okanagan College but for others, especially in the smaller communities, they will likely fall through the cracks. Trustees Barry Chafe and Holly Overgaard were aware of the perception that would be created and did not join their colleagues in hiking wages. “It is so hard for me to support any increase when we are looking at taking things out of the classroom,” said Overgaard, who just a few minutes earlier defended the need to chop adult education courses. “This is money we don’t have and it has to come from somewhere. We need to invest the limited funds we have into those programs that are going to help kids have a successful school career,” she said. In the whole scheme of things, the additional $17,000 needed to bump up trustees’ salaries won’t eliminate the district’s financial shortfall or bring back adult education. But after years of sweeping budget cuts, that $17,000 may make the difference between a school having art supplies or a few more books in the library. The trustees’ actions also come at the same time that many residents have had their pay frozen or jobs lost during the recession. It’s those families who pay taxes and keep schools running. Ultimately, the public must ensure elected representatives are treated fairly, especially if new faces are to be encouraged into the democratic system. However, politicians must understand the power of perception and increasing one’s salary within minutes of cutting programs may not go over well with some constituents.
Recycling is supposed to make the world a better place, but we’ll be a lot worse off under the province’s new producer-pay recycling system. Businesses will be burdened by bills, companies will close and jobs will disappear – these are foreseeable outcomes if the provincial government doesn’t reconsider the regulations scheduled to come into effect next month. In principle, producerpay is a fine idea. Forcing manufacturers to reassess packaging will lead to environmentally friendly innovation. B.C. is just one teensy patch of Earth, but we can make a little bit of a difference. That’s all well and good – but unfortunately, that’s not all we’re getting with Multi Material B.C. MMBC’s perkilogram fees are so out of touch with other jurisdictions as to seem arbitrary, and they’re problematic. In this day and age, goods are bought and sold in a global marketplace, and with this new recycling scheme, the government is putting B.C. businesses at a competitive disadvantage. Successful companies are already finding efficiencies, and to demand more from them is asking too much. Take community newspapers, for example. We manage to compete in a modern media environment. Call us old-fashioned, but we still like words on paper, and if our ‘packaging’ becomes prohibitively expensive, newspapers will crumple and fold. Across B.C., municipalities, regional districts and chambers of commerce are publicly opposing new recycling regulations. Let’s recycle. But when we do, let’s make sure, at the same time, that we aren’t doing more harm than good in our communities. — Nanaimo Bulletin

Downtown Vernon deserves better
am usually a member of the silent majority, but the issue of increasing fines and parking meter increases is obviously bothering many in Vernon. The city has spent a sizeable amount of taxpayers' money to revitalize the downtown and then has neutralized the benefits by dissuading people to come and explore downtown. There have already been several letters to the editor on this topic. I can easily walk downtown and do several times a week. I have been in different shops and businesses frequently where other patrons have said they have to hurry and go because of the ticking parking meter. This does not make for a relaxing experience and many shops have less patrons because of this. It is one more reason that people are driving to the malls where parking is free. EFFORT APPRECIATED Thank you to Rick Siemens, Cori Doorman and all of the Swan Lake area neighbours who clean up the garbage left behind by some winter users. On behalf of the Vernon Rowing and Dragon Boat Club, we want to acknowledge your caring stewardship of this precious resource. Over the course of a season, our club may have upwards of 250 people enjoying this idyllic setting and we often hear from visitors that Swan Lake is one of the best rowing venues in all of Canada. We know we are fortunate to share Swan Lake with people fishing, water-skiers, kayakers and tourists, as well as turtles, muskrats and many birds, but we didn't know about the residents working to make the lake safe for all of us. Thank you for all of your efforts to preserve this local treasure. Patty Balfour, Vernon Rowing and Dragon Boat Club CHILDHOOD ARTHRITIS One of the big misunderstandings about arthritis is that it only affects the elderly. Too often, this type of thinking results in delays for early diagnosis
I recently encountered a long-time Vernon resident and businessman who was coming from paying a parking ticket and he
and appropriate treatment for children and teens. As many as 24,000 Canadian children aged 18 and under, live with a form of arthritis — or three out of every 1,000 kids. Arthritis is one of the more common disorders resulting in chronic disability, affecting play, school, work and so much more. Kids can be affected by a variety of forms of arthritis, any of which can have potentially devastating effects on their developing bodies. These children may experience continuous inflammation, pain, stiffness and swelling. It may result in irregular growth problems, an increased likelihood for chronic uveitis (inflammation of the eye causing reduced vision) and painful flare-ups and disease remission that can come and go without warning. While there is no cure yet, for childhood arthritis, early diagnosis and an effective treatment plan including medication, physiotherapy, appropriate physical activity, and rest can control pain and help to prevent joint damage. With appropriate guidance and support, a child with arthritis can lead an active and productive life. Our hope is that we can make

more people aware of childhood arthritis, that more children will be diagnosed early and appropriately, get the treatment and support they need. Everyone can help. Buy a ticket to the upcoming Okanagan Angel Awards May 23 (angelawards.ca) or join us at the Walk to Fight Arthritis June 8 at Kelowna's Stuart Park (walktofightarthritis. ca). With your help, they can get back to being children again. Trudy Battaglio, manager, Kelowna Arthritis Centre THANK YOU On March 12 at the Vernon Recreation Complex, 500 area seniors were treated to dinner and entertainment at the hands of the Vernon Rotary Club. Dubbed the Spring Break-Out, this annual event has always been funded by the Rotary Carol Festival and the donations it receives from both corporate sponsors and attendees of the performances. For 61 years, the Carol Festival has been announcing the beginning of the Christmas season to the people of the North Okanagan, and through the profits, it allows seniors who may be shut-in all winter to break out and acknowl-
fees and fines. The local economy is not doing well and there are many vacancies downtown, including the large space where Liquidation World was. These hits on the pocketbook do not entice one to shop downtown even though much money has been spent to bring people there. I bet there are many shop owners downtown who are bringing in less money per month than the well-paid parking attendants are getting. I know the residents of Vernon and area would be very pleased if something were done to alleviate this problem or give them a break. I don't expect any change in this from the city but I urge others to express their dissatisfaction on this subject. Eleanor Wilmot
edge the arrival of spring. While the events are hosted by the Vernon Rotary Club, it should be mentioned that more than 2,000 volunteers from the community make it all happen — the choir members and directors at the Carol Festival, the church women who prepare the dinners for the Spring Break-Out, the Students Without Borders who act as ushers, the individual entertainers at both events and all of the unsung backstage people at both events who don't receive a dime for their countless hours of assistance. On behalf of the Vernon Rotary Club, and as chairperson of the Rotary Carol Festival, it is my pleasure to say thank you to all of these people in the community who make Vernon such a great place to live. We meet at the Village Green Hotel at noon Wednesdays. If you'd like to get involved, we're always looking for communityminded members.

through Vernon. If this is to happen, why would city council consider moving the visitors information centres to an area they are going to divert traffic from? M. Cawte

Mortensen has attended Camp Winfield four times and loves her time there where she gets to meet new people that have challenges just like her. “Easter Seals Camp is full of adventure and fun,” said the local 18-year-old. The spring campaign raised $1.2 million last year, which helped support important Easter Seals programs throughout Canada. “Easter Seals Canada provides support to families living with disabilities and with the support
of Safeway, we are able to provide camperships for Easter Seals camps across B.C.,” said Stephen Miller, president and CEO of Easter Seals B.C. Across Western Canada, Safeway stores employ more than 500 people living with disabilities therefore they see the incredible work of Easter Seals and are happy to support. “Helping our neighbours living with a diverse range of abilities has long been a Safeway priority,” said Chuck Mulvenna, president of Safeway operations.

I have terrible PMS every month and my periods are really heavy – is there anything natural I can take to get some relief? Premenstrual syndrome, also known as PMS, can include symptoms such as mood swings, depression, cravings, bloating, water retention and headaches. PMS can occur for up to 2 weeks before the onset of a woman’s menstrual flow and affects somewhere between 70 to 90% of women. An imbalance in hormones, especially the ratio of estrogen to progesterone, is commonly the culprit for many women. This is often referred to as “Estrogen Dominance” and can develop as a result of poor diet, a sluggish liver and exposure to excess environmental estrogens found in plastics, cosmetics, pesticides, the birth control pill, or hormone replacement therapy. Estrogen dominance has been linked to a wide range of conditions, including heavy, painful periods, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, infertility and even estrogen dependent cancers such as breast and uterine cancers. The herb milk thistle has a long history of being a very safe liver detoxifier. A healthy liver helps to eliminate and detoxify these harmful and excess estrogens in order to boost the body’s metabolic rate and ensure that estrogen and progesterone are in healthy balance. Other beneficial herbs to help balance high estrogen levels include: curcumin, calciumd-glucarate, indole-3-carbinol and sulforaphane. EstroSense® is a safe and effective detoxifier that helps to eliminate those harmful, excess estrogens so that you can have effortless and PMS free periods!

Water advisory lifted Morning Star Staff
A water quality advisory has been removed for residents served by the Westshore water system off Westside Road. The advisory had been initiated late last week. “The lab results from test samples of water taken from the upper mountain reservoir distribution area confirmed no evidence that the water supply for almost 150 properties connected to the reservoir was contaminated,” said Bruce Smith, with the Regional District of Central Okanagan. “We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience caused since the advisory was initiated in response to vandalism our staff found at the reservoir. When it comes to water safety, there’s no messing around and whenever any risk is identified we enact our emergency response procedures.” Security is being expanded around the reservoir.

Challenge Cup hits the ice RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Hockey action hits the ice Easter weekend. The 10th annual All Native Nk’maplqs Hockey Challenge Cup takes place at Kal Tire Place and Civic Arena from Friday to Sunday. “We have it at Easter so people can come out and visit,” said Keith Louis, Challenge Cup president. The tournament will feature 10 teams in the competitive category, eight masters, four women’s teams and four or five in the recreational category. “We have teams registered from Prince George, Williams Lake, Chilliwack, Merritt, Kamloops and the Kootenays,” said Louis. “Everyone want to compete at a high level.” One of the primary draws is the tournament offers something for everyone. “It’s family-oriented. Mom and dad can play and the kids can play,” said Louis. The Challenge Cup was founded by the late Jay Louis as a way of revitalizing the game of all-native hockey. “The objective is to also mentor aboriginal youth in their hockey development by promoting sportsmanship, fair play and positive role modelling,” said Keith Louis.
And with so many players and families coming to Vernon for a long-weekend, there will be a boost for restaurants, hotels and other businesses. “There’s a good economic impact,” said Louis, who is urging local residents to come and check out the action. “There are some guys that played junior A and B hockey.”

Family keeps drumming up shows together The Grant family introduces Drumboogie with special guests at Vernon Jazz Club AmAndA morAzAin For The Morning Star
The Vernon Jazz Club will groove to the rhythm as The Grant Family and special guests return to the stage to present Drumboogie. This nine-piece band, featuring five drummers, will be playing songs like Great Balls of Fire (Otis Blackwell and Jerry Lee Lewis), Blue Bossa (Kenny Dorham), and of course Drumboogie (Gene Krupa and Roy Eldridge). The band is comprised of five drumming Grant members including father Doug and his children Doug Jr., Carolyn, Ian, and Bob. Carolyn and Bob will be featured vocalists and Bob will also be delighting the audience with his trumpet playing. The Grant family will be joined by special guests: Gene Hardy (saxophone, violin, musical saw, and theremin), Rob Moore (guitar and vocals), Brian McMahon (bass), and Steve Soucy (keyboard and vocals). The evening is bound to be full of excitement, said band leader Doug Grant Sr. “Our music will have heavy emphasis on drums and percus-
sion, with three drum kits on stage plus various percussion instruments,” he said. “Gene Hardy will play a number on his musical saw. And we will have the audience participate in some percussion, plus we will feature the famous drum battle between Doug Jr., Ian, and Bob Grant.” Doug Sr. bought his first set of drums in 1948. He has been busy playing them ever since. “On stage will be the set of 1948 Slingerland Radio King drums that I bought with my first pay cheque in 1948. My three sons and daughter all learned to play on these drums, and they have been on tours throughout North America and Europe,” he said. Doug Sr. is no stranger to Vernon Jazz Club patrons. He has played in more than 20 performances at the club since it opened its doors. When not playing with his family, he can be heard playing with Aged to Perfection, which will be playing at the club May 3. Doug Jr. has drummed for Doug and the Slugs and is currently featured with Blaze of Glory, North America’s premier Bon Jovi tribute band. Carolyn was leader of the vocal group The Silhouettes and will be playing drums and singing favourite standards Saturday. Ian’s other projects include playing with The Remones and The Black Dots, two bands based out of Calgary. Bob was the former drummer with The Sue Foley Blues Band and has worked on cruise ships with
drummer doug Grant Sr. leads his musical family and friends to the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. the band Jamm, Inc. Hardy, who hails from Toronto, has served as musical director for Michael Bublé and has played on hundreds of records and CDs. He is the leader of The Pip Squeek Orchestra and has played with The Rheostatics, Bourbon Tabernacle Choir, and Sparkjiver. Two of the four instruments Hardy will be playing may need some explaining. The first, the musical saw, is played by drawing a bow over a hand saw. The other, a theremin, is an instrument which the player does not actually touch to create sound. The musi-
cian moves his/her hands in the proximity of two metal antennas. One of the antennas determines the pitch while the other controls the volume. This will be a special treat to see in action. Moore has played with The Sunshine Blues Band and recently spent three years performing on cruise ships with Jamm, Inc. McMahon is another familiar face to the Vernon Jazz Club. He is well known for his work with The Michael Garding Big Band, was recently at the Pentastic Jazz Festival with Aged to Perfection,

and plays with The Legendary Lake Monsters. This will be Soucy’s third time on the Vernon Jazz Club stage this season. He joined Poppa Dawg and Julie Masi earlier this year. Soucy has written and recorded more than 1,000 songs in a variety of musical genres. He is the five-time winner of the B.C. Country Music keyboardist of the year award. The Grant Family takes the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club (3000-31st St.) this Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15. Tickets are $20 at the Bean Scene, Bean to Cup and at www.vernonjazz.ca.

“It’s a mini version that runs under Fans of TV fantasy-dramas Once two hours,” said Lorge. “It’s suitable for Upon a Time and Grimm will see some all ages, although it is still a little dark.” It still unites familiar characters like familiar characters in Into the Woods Jr. Like those shows, the stage musical Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, a is a mishmash of well-known Brothers baker and his wife, and Jack (from the Grimm tales including Cinderella, beanstalk fame) in the quest to fulfill Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the their wishes. An evil witch, of course, complicates matters as she has a secret Beanstalk and Rapunzel. The fractured fairytale, which fea- desire of her own.

It’s a late-night preteen pool party with a purpose. Up from the Depths is an after-hours pool party for ages 10 to 14 at the Vernon Recreation Complex April 25 from 10 p.m. to midnight, hosted by Vernon Christian School students. The event features live DJs, crazy fun, large and small group activities, free Hawaiian shaved ice and more. This is a fundraiser event and tickets are $10 each. All proceeds will be divided and donated to Eagle Bay Camp, Faith Mission Camp and Young Life to be used to send local kids to camp. “It all started with a grant application that showed up on my desk — I shared it with my Grade 12 student TA, Laura Hulstein, and we went from there,” said Corinne Remple, the school’s communications and marketing manager. “Over the past year, a lot of work has been devoted to our campaign to raise the funds needed to build three outdoor sports courts. Now that it is complete we were looking for a unique way to thank those who helped us. “As a team, we believed reaching out and blessing others would be the perfect way to honour those who have given generously to our campaign.”

Grade 11 Vernon Christian School students Victoria Grosch (left) and Shaylynne Marshall are ready for the pool party on April 25. Sponsored by Interior Savings and Telus, the United Way Youth Initiative grant seeks applicants who are willing to implement a project that will improve lives and build community. Applicants must meet certain criteria to be
successful. Other local event sponsors include Wentworth Music, Eagle Bay Camp, Hawaiian Shaved Ice and VCS. “Our leadership class and students have a heart to serve our community,” said Hulstein. “We have great ideas and have
completed numerous projects like organizing food and need drives, which cost nothing. Other ideas are a bit more grand and we generally do not have the funds to accomplish these projects, so we are excited to get the chance to go big with this event. I love the idea of engaging youth to help other youth. “We are giving our time and energy, learning to look after the needs of others around us.” The leadership is currently seeking donations for the event swag bags and are looking for local merchants for help. Donations of coupons, free items, BOGO or discounts would be greatly appreciated, as the class is hoping to fill 300 bags. “It sounds like a fun night for the kids but it’s more than that. Thanks to money from a grant, a creative idea and a willing team, several local youth will be heading off to camp this summer,” said Remple. Tickets are available for cash purchase at Vernon Christian School, Emmanuel Baptist Church, Vernon Alliance Church or from student event reps. More details and online ticket purchases through PayPal can be found at www.vcs.ca, or call 250-5457345 during school hours.
Use patience in planting
ust because we had some nice warm days lately doesn’t mean that the frost is over. Any tender plants out will have to be protected at night. My cold frames are covered at night. The peas and the lettuce are doing just fine even with a touch of frost. I got my onions in last week and found some interesting facts. Gardeners Jocelyne Sewell have grown onions since ancient days. In the days of the Pharaohs, Egypt was famed for the mildness of its onions. Onions are relatively easy to grow provided the garden soil is rich, fertile and well-drained. The topsoil should be deep and should contain an ample supply of humus. Dry soil will cause onions to “split,” forming two small bulbs instead of normal growth. Onions can be propagated by small bulbs known as sets, by seed or by transplants. The easiest and often the fastest method for the home gardener is sets. Contrary to the beliefs of many gardeners, the best sets are not necessarily the largest. The preferred size is about 1/2
A GArdener’s diAry
inch (1.25 cm) in diameter, with smaller ones lacking in vigour and larger sets often going to seed. They should be planted four to six inches (10-16cm) apart. Planted as early in the spring as possible, the sets will grow rapidly. They demand only shallow cultivation or weeding. By five weeks the young plants should have made good growth. The length of time needed to form edible bulbs is determined by the amount of daylight the plant receives and not by the maturity of the plant. Depending on the varieties, Yellow Bermuda will form bulbs when receiving only 12 hours of daylight daily to Yellow Globe Danver requiring 13 hours. Such types as Red Wethersfield require as much as 14 hours. The average garden-grown onion is relatively free from plant disease and insect pests, although the onion root maggot can be troublesome in some localities. As a deterrent, some gardeners have found that radishes interplanted between rows of onions act as a very satisfactory trap crop. If they become infested, pull up the radishes and destroy them. Onion sets mature in about 100 days and, as the plants approach maturity, the tops become yellow and begin to fall gradually to the ground. When most of
the tops are down, the remainder are generally broken down by running the back of a rake over them. Loosen the soil to encourage drying, and after a few days turn them up and let them cure on dry ground. Always handle them very carefully — the slightest bruise will encourage rot to set in. When tops are brown, pull the onions. Harvest in late summer, before cool weather. Mature onions may spoil in fall weather. Allow onions to dry for several weeks in a sheltered place before you store them in a root cellar or any other storage area. Spread them out on an open screen off the ground to dry. Store at 40 to 50 degrees F (four to 10 degrees C) in braids or with the stems broken off. Mature, dry-skinned bulbs like it cool and dry, so don’t store them with apples or potatoes Onions and all members of the cabbage family get along well with each other. They also like beets, strawberries, tomatoes, lettuce, summer savory but do not like peas and beans. Russian biologist T.A. Tovstole found a water solution of onion skin, used as a spray three times daily at five-day intervals, gave an almost 100 per cent kill of hemiptera, a parasite attacking more than 100 different species of plants.

A feast for Passover
or Christians, Easter is the holiest and oldest of all traditions, and it’s related to the even more ancient Jewish festival of Passover, which is described in the Old Testament. Both holidays are celebrated at the same time of year, often (but not always) in the same week. Passover takes place over one week in remembrance of the exodus of the Jews from Egypt. This year Passover began Monday, and goes until April 22. It is one of the most widely observed Jewish holidays. Because the house is free of chametz (leavened foods) for eight days, the Jewish houseCathi Litzenberger hold typically eats different foods during the week of Passover, such as matzah brei and gefilte fish, and probably most familiar, chicken soup with matzah balls, a chicken soup served with matzah-meal dumplings. For Passover this year I offer a delicious chicken soup and a matzah ball variation recipe to try. I want to wish all of our Jewish friends a good Passover celebration. Chicken Soup with Shallot-Shiitake Matzah Balls 1 whole chicken (3 to 3 1/2 pounds) 3 large carrots, peeled and chopped in half 3 stalks celery with leaves, chopped in half 2 onions, peeled and halved lengthwise through the root 1 bay leaf 4 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh parsley (with stems), plus more chopped fresh parsley for serving Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Shallot Shiitake Matzah Balls, recipe follows Lemon wedges for serving, optional Place chicken, carrots, celery, onions, bay leaf, garlic and 1/4 cup parsley in a large soup pot. Cover the ingredients with 1 inch of cold water. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Turn the heat to low and gently simmer, partially covered, skimming off the foam that accumulates as needed. Cook until chicken is very tender and falling off the bone, 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Remove the chicken and vegetables from the
kitchen wit & wisdom
pot and transfer to a cutting board. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve, and add it back to the pot. Discard the parsley and bay leaf. Using your fingers, remove the skin and discard it, then remove the meat from the bones. Roughly chop the meat. Chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces and add them back to the pot with the chicken meat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. To serve, place 1 or 2 matzah balls into a soup bowl and top with soup and chopped fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing, if desired. Serves 6 to 8 Shallot-Shiitake Matzah Balls 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided 2 medium shallots, finely chopped Coarse kosher salt 1/4 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and finely chopped, about 1-1/2 cups 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 4 large eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup matzah meal 3 tablespoons seltzer water Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a medium pan set over medium heat. Add the shallots and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue cooking until mushrooms soften and brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the thyme and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat and transfer mixture to a bowl to speed up the cooling process. Let cool until cool to the touch. Once cooled, mix the mushroom mixture together with the eggs, the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, 1 teaspoon salt, matzah meal and seltzer in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Lower heat to medium-low and keep at a simmer. Moisten your hands with water; scoop out a heaping tablespoon of matzah ball batter and roll it into a 1-inch ball. Drop the ball into the boiling water, and repeat with remaining batter. Cover the pot, and let simmer until matzah balls are tender and puffed, 30 to 35 minutes. (If you cut one in half, it should be pale in colour throughout.) Remove matzah balls from pot with a slotted spoon and let sit on a plate until ready to use. Makes 16 to 18 matzah balls.
Green Fair is all about the environment Morning Star Staff
Local and organic growers and citizen initiative groups will gather along with those promoting planet-friendly products at the ninth annual Armstrong Spallumcheen Environmental Trust Green Fair on Saturday. This year, 25 participants will be at Askew’s in Armstrong, along with a pickup load of newborn chicks, horse-drawn wagon rides, Kingfisher’s interpretational “aquifer in mini” display and the Scouts hamburger and hot dog stand. As well, there will be a conifer seedling tree giveaway to complement the Regional District of North Okanagan special interest information station and ASET’s information booth. Opportunities abound in the raffle draws, with
one for the Suzuki/Grady book Tree with art by Robert Bateman. “You will not want to miss this year’s event,” said event chairman
David Derbowka. “This is a pre-celebration of Earth Day, April 21 this year. “And we very much appreciate the support

Auction helps nature centre
THE COLLECTOR
When professional housesitter Lila Emerson witnesses a murder/suicide from her current apartment-sitting job, life as she knows it takes a dramatic turn. Suddenly, the woman with no permanent ties finds herself almost wishing for one. . . .
Morning Star Staff
Feathers took flight during the Flights of Fancy dinner and auction. More than 160 people attended the Allan Brooks Nature Centre event at the Best Western Vernon Lodge. “We feel extremely grateful to have had such tremendous support from both personal donors and businesses for our live auction and silent auction items,” said Aaron Deans, ABNC executive director, adding that more than $20,000 was raised for programs. “The event was a huge success in raising funds for the upcoming season.” Funds were also collected for a children’s natural playground project. ABNC will open for the season Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. “The event will have lots of family activities and entertainment, including an Easter egg scavenger hunt,” said Deans. For more information, go to www.abnc.ca.
Artist Ashton Archer knows his brother isn’t capable of violence — against himself or others. He recruits Lila, the only eyewitness, to help him uncover what happened. Ash longs to paint her as intensely as he hungers to touch her. But their investigation draws them into a rarified circle where priceless antiques are bought, sold, gambled away, and stolen, where what you possess is who you are, and where what you desire becomes a deadly obsession.

Conservative Party represents a break from the “old guard” and a new era of stability for a party mainly known for in-fighting.

Express seek sweep of Vipers Morning Star Staff
The Coquitlam Express were trying to make B.C. Hockey League history, while the Vernon Vipers were hoping to avoid making the record book Tuesday night at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre. Captain Ryan Rosenthal scored 7:46 into overtime as the Express grounded the Vipers 3-2 Monday night before 1,170 fans. Coquitlam took a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven Fred Page Cup championship series into Game 4. A fifth game, if necessary, would go Thursday night at Kal Tire Place in Vernon. The Express, who won the BCHL and Royal Bank Cup titles as the Burnaby Express, with Kyle Turris, in 2006, have not won a Fred Page Cup in Coquitlam. Vernon teams have reached the league playoff final 19 times, but have never been swept. The Vipers lost in five games to the Surrey Eagles, in 2005. Vernon has won a dozen playoff crowns. Viper alternate captain Josh Bryan said the Vipers, who lost 4-3 in overtime Saturday night, were trying to remain calm heading into Game 4. “We had a meeting at breakfast. The coaches told us that we can’t get stressed out. We just need to go back to our instincts and enjoy it. There is no point in putting pressure on ourselves four hours until game time.” Rosenthal, a 6-foot-2 New Jersey power winger, ROBERT MCDONALD PHOTO forced the extra session when he shot from the right Colton Sparrow of the Vipers is denied by Coquitlam goaltender Gordie Defiel in Game 3 of the Fred Page Cup final series Monday night at side wall and fooled Vernon goalie Austin Smith with the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre. The Express clipped Vernon 3-2 in overtime to take a 3-0 series stranglehold. 71 seconds left in regulation. Smith was fabulous in Vernon went up 2-0 at 1:14 of the second period when early two-goal lead. overtime and earned third star. Liam Coughlin took a nifty feed from Michael McNicholas “That was probably our best 60-minute game of the “I think everyone was expecting him to pass the puck. and found an empty net, on the powerplay. series, ” added Bryan. “We definitely outplayed them in the When he threw it on net, it caught everyone off guard, not “We definitely outplayed them the first two periods, ” said first two periods. I thought we deserved enough to win, we just Smith,” said Bryan. “He has saved a lot of games for us McNicholas. “We outshot them 28-12 in the first two perijust didn’t bury enough of our chances.” this playoffs so we’re are not hanging this one on him at all.” ods. They got a few bounces but I still think we have been Rosenthal, who used to have season tickets to the NHL Said Rosenthal, who leads the Express with 14 playoff outplaying them most of the series. We just need to keep Devils, and is a Dallas Cowboys’ fan, knows the fourth game snipes: “It was a weird angle. I got a little step on the dee and playing with confidence and see what happens. ” is always the toughest to close. I wasn’t sure if anybody was going to the net but I was hopEach team received three minor penalties. “Everyone feels really good about how we’re playing, but ing my shot would leave a rebound or go in.” Coquitlam assistant coach Robert Boyd, who used to live we know Vernon’s not going to quit.” The Express found their groove in overtime and outshot in Vernon and Enderby back in the day, has seen Rosenthal He said Defiel, who starred for the Minnesota Wilderness the Snakes 12-3. in last year’s RBC, thrives on playoff hockey. Defiel has been “Overtime was fast-paced,” said Bryan. “They carried find the net flying down the right wing in the past. “He’s scored a ton of goals from there,” said Boyd. “He’s brilliant in the finals. some momentum from those late goals and kept it going. We always trying to score high from there, but this time he put it “He’s been talking about the RBC all year,” said Rosenthal. couldn’t really get anything going offensively.” six, eight inches stick side and it fooled him (Smith). ” “He’s in the gym all the time and he works really hard in Corey Mackin drew assists on both Rosenthal goals. Boyd said the Express celebrated the overtime glory but practice. He’s calm back there. He knows if he makes some Mackin grabbed his own rebound in overtime and fed noted “we haven’t won anything yet. ” He said the Express are mistakes, we can score in bunches and we know if we make Rosenthal near the crease paint. Brendan Lamont converted some mistakes, he can make some big saves.” from defenceman Zach Hodder for Coquitlam`s other not totally surprised to be leading the series. “The teams are pretty evenly matched. It’s just one of In Game 3 Saturday, the Vipers struck first again as snipe, at 10:29 of the second period. The Vipers outshot the Express 34-24 in regulation time those things where we could be down 3-0 as well.

Stars dust off Ogopogos Morning Star Staff
They have scored 10 goals in two games and appear serious about finishing top-four in the Capri Insurance Men’s Over 45 Soccer League. John Matejicka and Andrew Whiston each supplied two goals as the Vernon Liquor Store Stars outlasted Big O Tire-Turn-Key Ogopogos 6-4 Monday night at Marshall Field #1. Paul McArdle and Rick Danyluk also scored for the 2-0 Stars, who led 4-1 at the half. Mark Wasylyk, Ruben Cervantes, Bryan Schenker, on a penalty kick, and Brad Conlin, with a fantastic corker, replied for Big O (0-2). In other action, the North Country Appraisals Kickers went to 2-0 with a tight 2-1 decision over the Okanagan Spring Camels at Rutland Field #3. The first half was fairly even but North Country hit the board first as Steve Reston picked up a rebound and fired it past keeper Dave Dutcher. The Camels tied it up early in the second half after a wild scramble with Rob Hulstein converteing from Rick Raber. North Country responded as Fritz Berenyi sent a nice pass to Steve Frost who walked in and slotted it far corner. The Humpbacks dropped to 1-1. The Kelowna Rented Mules also improved to 2-0 by clipping Vernon Bosman Accounting 2-1 at Rutland #2. It was scoreless at the break before the Mules busted loose for two goals in five minutes, early in the second half. Harry Dehaas took a feed from Glenn Mosher and beat keeper Yogi Kongsdorf just minutes before Mosher outraced Kongsdorf to a loose ball at the
30-yard line and walked in the second goal. Rookie midfielder Rolf Hirschkorn outguessed keeper Blair Forrest with a blistering penalty kick in the late going for 0-2 Bosman. Penticton United joined the club at 2-0 by shutting down Brandt’s Creek Pub 3-0 at Kelowna City Park. In Kelowna Men’s 35+ Soccer League play, Kal Tire had no subs but pulled out a 2-1 win over host Penticton for their second straight win. Play went both ways to start and then Jesse Knight broke free and beat the Penticton keeper with a little poke. About 15 minutes later, Kal Tire’s midfield played a great passing game that led to Darren Nobrega getting free and putting the ball in the net. Penticton came back with a shot off the crossbar and out. In the second half, play again went back and forth for the first 30 minutes before some notable chances. Penticton had the first opportunity, but midfielder Tim McGowan helped out Tiremen keeper Iain Butler out as McGowan made a Karate Kid Kick to save the ball on the goal line. Midfielder Tyler Johnson almost had the same happen when he was robbed by a Penticton defender after beating the keeper. Penticton scored in the dying minutes. Butler made great saves and also got great support from Ryan Sharp.

The Shamrocks started the tournament with a 6-1 win over the Prince George Bandits. Captain Chad Pounder supplied 2+1. It was an intense start to the season as the Shamrocks had no rest following their battle with the Bandits. Despite playing back-to-back games, the Shamrocks out-ran the Spruce Grove Tomahawks 7-4. Kyle Versteeg had three goals and two assists for the ‘Rocks. Former Edmonton Rush pro player Shaun Wilhelm had 2+1 for Spruce Grove. The Shamrocks opened up Saturday with a 2-2 tie against the Tomahawks. Armstrong led most of the game, but a few late penalties allowed Spruce Grove to tie it up. Jamie Cockrill and Carston Schlaak were the goal scorers for Armstrong. A NHL-style shootout solved nothing as the game was called due to time restraints. The second game of the day between the Bandits and Tomahawks resulted in a 4-4 tie. Damon Calfa had two for the Bandits, while Wilhelm earned 3+1 for the Tomahawks. In the third game of the afternoon, the Shamrocks toppled the Tomahawks 3-1. Scoring for the Irish was Sheldon Nelson, Shaun Koenig and Cockrill. Teams had a five-hour break in between afternoon and evening games. Both Prince George and Spruce Grove had short benches so they combined as one to take on Armstrong in the final game. The Shamrocks earned an 8-2 vic-
tory over the conjoined squad. The highlight of the game came when teams were playing 3-on-3; Pat Nelson got to play on a line alongside his two sons, Sheldon and Cam. Head coach Glenn (Stumpy) Mitchell was pleased with his team’s performance but still thinks there are areas to improve on. The Shamrocks open up their Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League season on the road Friday against the defending league champion Kelowna Raiders April 25. The Shamrocks’ home-opener will go Saturday, April 26, at 7 p.m. as they take on the Kamloops Rattlers. In the junior ranks, the Vernon Tigers also had a successful weekend at the Archie Jack Memorial Ice Breaker tournament in Armstrong. The Tigers went 2-0 with a 7-4 win against the host Armstrong Shamrocks and a 8-5 victory against the South Okanagan Flames. Mitchell Anderson and Quintin Harrish both had a pair of goals against Armstrong. Daryl Landels scored three goals with one assist gainst the South Okanagan Flames. Braden Barr chipped in with a goal and two assists. “It was a good tournament. The pace was fast enough we could knock some rust off,” said Tigers’ head coach Myles Brumpton. “I don’t really emphasize wins and losses at these things, mostly just how guys look in our system. I thought it looked pretty good.” The Tigers open their Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League season April 26 on the road against the Kamloops Venom. Their home opener goes Saturday, May 31, versus the Shamrocks.

Morning Star Staff
The Penticton Harlequins brushed back the Vernon Jackals 24-17 in Okanagan Valley Rugby Union action Saturday at Grahame Park. Penticton led 10-5 at the half in the season opener for both clubs. Vernon received tries from Clark Richardson, Colton Klein and David Autino. Klein booted one convert. Jackal playing-coach Mike Scheller said an influx of talented Fulton Maroons’ grads and new players to town helped the Jackals take the Harlequins to the limit. “The game was close but LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR Penticton definitely outplayed Clark Richardson of the Vernon Jackals tries to elude Scott Naylor of the Penticton Harlequins with Evan us,” said Scheller. “They held Lloyd of the Harlequins down and out Saturday at Grahame Park. the advantage of ball possession and territory.

Vernon’s Cole Sanford is the Denny’s WHL Player of the Week. Sanford recorded four goals and seven points over three games as the Medicine Hat Tigers tied up the Eastern Conference second-round series versus the Kootenay Ice at 3-3. Game 7 goes tonight in Medicine Hat. On Thursday, April 10, Sanford recorded an assist in a 7-4 loss to the host Ice. On Saturday, with the Tigers facing elimination, Sanford stepped up with 4+2 while being named first star in a 9-2 win over the visiting Ice. Sanford was held without a point in a 4-1 road loss to the Ice in Game 3 last Wednesday Sanford, 18, is in his second season with the Tigers, and finished third on the team in scoring with 33 goals and 73 points along with a +43 rating this season. A sixth-round pick, 117th overall, in the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft, Sanford has amassed 35 goals and 84 points in 125 career regular-season contests. The 5-foot-9, 161-pounder is eligible for the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.

Vipers... Continued from A27
The Vipers went up by two when Brendan Persley kept the puck on a shorthanded 2-on1 rush. Persley went short side over Defiel. T.J. Dumonceaux picked up the assist. Shortly after assisting on the short-handed tally, Dumonceaux was busted for high-sticking. It was Coquitlam’s turn to go to work on special teams. Canon Pieper scored on the man advantage, from Rosenthal and Marc Biega, 7:13 into the first. The only goal in the second period came off the head of Dancs. Coughlin threw the puck into a pinball machine at the front of the net and it somehow found its way through. McNicholas registered the other assist. “I feel like I haven’t changed my game at all. Coquitlam plays a different style of defence which opens up the ice for me,” said Dancs. Mackin got his third goal of the series, from Adam Rockwood, 46 seconds into the third. Mackin returned the favor later in the period as he set up Rockwood for the equalizer. Rockwood wasn’t done there. Two minutes into overtime, Rockwood won the game on an unassisted solo mission. “The puck bounced over the d-man’s stick, then we took off on a rush. I just waited and it kind of took a lucky bounce to go in. It is definitely the most satisfying goal I have ever scored,” said Rockwood.

Malcolm Wiens did his best Messi impersonation by scoring five times in the first 25 minutes as the Vernon United ambushed the Shuswap Selects 8-0 in Thompson Okanagan Under 15 Boys Rep Soccer League action Sunday at Marshall Field #5. “Malcolm overwhelmed the Shuswap defence with his speed”, said United coach Rolf Hirschkorn.

After taking a dish from Kevin Thibault, central defender Josh Gray sliced through the Selects to score his first of the season. Elias Jensen added a rocket from 25 yards, top, left corner, making it 7-0 at the break. “The boys controlled the first half and did a good job of keeping possession and thwarting any Sushwap attack”, said United coach Erick Burnet.

Morgan Nichols and Peter Hirschkorn did a good job in central defence, while Wyatt Carter and Owen Burnet stopped anything coming down the wings. Gavin Mason, Shey Townley and James Huntington controlled the middle of the pitch.

Bridge by Phillip Alder MORE BRIDGE WORDS FROM THE ANTIPODES New Zealand Bridge is published six times a year in a small-page format. It contains the usual mix of tournament reports, quizzes, hands to bid with your partner and compare your final contracts with top players, and a bidding panel with experts from around the globe who answer six problems. Most magazines like to concentrate on accurate bidding and play, but do include some errors -- as in this example from New Zealand Bridge. How would you analyze the bidding? West’s opening bid showed 9-12 points. East’s two-club response was Stayman. And South’s two-no-
trump intervention indicated at least 5-5 in the minors. Against three no-trump, West led a low heart. How many tricks do you think declarer took? Down Under they like weak no-trumps. East sensibly used Stayman to play in two of a major. South’s overcall was crazy -- his hand was far too weak. When an opponent opens with a weak no-trump, you must bid constructively, not destructively, because your side could have the highcard values for game. North’s raise to three no-trump was iffy with no spade stopper, but since he thought his partner had at least opening values, it was reasonable. West led the heart two. East won with her queen
and shifted to a low spade. West won and returned the heart jack. This allowed the defenders to take nine majorsuit tricks. South discarded badly, keeping only two clubs in each hand. So when East now led a club, West took the last four tricks in the suit for down nine! Details are at nzbridge.org.nz.

LITTLE, George Edward Terrence
ARMSTRONG REGIONAL COOPERATIVE
It is with profound sadness that we announce that our beloved husband, father and grandpa George LiƩle passed away peacefully on April 6, 2014 at PenƟcton General Hospital aŌer bravely ĮghƟng a sudden but brief illness. George was born April 17, 1944 in Geraldton, Ontario to William and Audrey LiƩle. He spent his youth in Ontario and Winnipeg, where he became a journeyman electrician, and later ran his father’s electrical contracƟng company. He met his love, Mavis LiƩle, in Winnipeg. They married in 1967 and spent 47 happy and full years together.
CALL FOR DIRECTORS
George and Mavis moved to PenƟcton in 1971, joining George’s parents, his sister and her family in the beauƟful Okanagan Valley. They all enjoyed a rich and fun family life together. George worked as a manager for many years with his mentor, Phil Cooper, at Cooper and Gibbard Electric. George opened G. LiƩle Electric in 1985, expanding the company to include alarm and HVAC installaƟon and commercial building rentals. George’s daily goal was to provide excellent service and to create good, family-supporƟng jobs for the many talented people he valued so much at his company. George was an outgoing and civic-minded person who acƟvely volunteered countless hours in his community and industry. He served as President of the Southern Interior ConstrucƟon AssociaƟon and PenƟcton Industrial Development AssociaƟon. He also served on the Boards of the BC ConstrucƟon AssociaƟon, Southern Okanagan ConstrucƟon AssociaƟon, PenƟcton and Wine Country Chamber of Commerce, Valley First Credit Union, Community FoundaƟon of the South Okanagan, S.S. Sicamous RestoraƟon Society and the Electrical Safety Advisory Board of BC. He was an acƟve and passionate volunteer with the BC Liberals, the PenƟcton Junior A hockey team and was a long-Ɵme volunteer for the Ironman race. George was a great storyteller and had a keen interest in public life and all levels of poliƟcs. He had a generous spirit, and was quick to oīer help to all, and share a smile and a laugh. George was an avid Įsherman and boater, both in the Okanagan and in the waters of Nootka Sound. He enjoyed his many friends, and shared lunch every day for 15 years with all his closest buddies at the corner table of Debbie’s Diner. George’s most treasured role was as grandfather to his beloved grandson, Joshua, with whom he spent countless hours of fun and laughter at the coast and in PenƟcton, especially at the ͞shop.”

ICBC to issue refunds following glitch JEFF NAGEL Black Press
ICBC says it accidentally over- or under-charged nearly
600,000 of its optional auto insurance customers and will issue refunds with interest averaging $162 to
those who paid too much. Most motorists aren’t affected by the glitch, which hap-
pened because incorrect descriptions were assigned years ago to some vehicles. The error was uncovered

ABOUT MMBC: Starting May 19, 2014, businesses that supply packaging and printed paper to BC residents will be responsible for collecting and managing these materials so they can be recycled. Multi-Material BC (MMBC), a nonprofit organization working on behalf of these businesses, will be responsible for residential recycling programs in many areas across BC, either directly or by working with local governments, First Nations, private companies and not-for-profit organizations.
last year with ICBC’s move to a new computer system. About 1.8 per cent of optional insurance customers paid an average of $21 too much per year as a result and 240,000 drivers are owed cumulative refunds stretching back as far as 2008, according to ICBC. The public auto insurer is updating vehicle descriptions for past years so it can accurately recalculate historic premiums and repay improper charges for the last six years – as far back as its legacy computer system permits. Another 350,000 customers paid less than they should have by about $34 per year on average but ICBC won’t bill them retroactively. Affected drivers are to be notified and refund cheques will go out in July. ICBC expects to pay out $36 million in refunds plus interest of $3 million. It estimates it lost $71 million in underpayments since 2008. The faulty vehicle descriptions affect only optional insurance, not basic rates. ICBC’s board is also appointing an outside auditor to review the error. The error isn’t expected to recur because ICBC’s modernized system will pull the correct description from the vehicle identification numbers, instead of being entered manually by Autoplan agents.

Spring Cleaning & Feng Shui Ahhh… birds singing, flowers blooming… and clutter that spilleth over… Of all the things I deal with as a Feng Shui Consultant – clutter is the most problematic by far… Feng Shui is an art and science that determines how a space will affect you, so when the space around you is cluttered, your life will become that way too. Clutter accumulates over time, and so does the feeling it creates. Many of you will not realize how your life has been affected until I come along and shake things up. Remember I am working with Qi – known as life’s breath – and when Qi cannot circulate and breathe freely - neither can you... Take some time to clear out what you do not need, donate it to those who do need it, and you will improve their life and yours. To clear the inner hallways of your home is to clear the inner pathways of your mind. Once you do this, you will see a your true path open up before you…

Q: A:
Why Powers of Attorney?
You should have Powers of Attorney once you have any protect-able assets, for instance, you own a house or a business or even a bank account. Should you be in an accident, ill or out of the country, someone can attend to your financial affairs on your behalf. The person you give a Power of Attorney should be a trusted person. You should also understand that abuse of Powers of Attorney is one of the most common ways of elder abuse. We often see cases where children abuse these Powers of Attorney, so don’t assume you will be immune to this. There are many different types of Powers of Attorney, they can be custom tailored to fit your particular circumstances. At Laarakker Law, Wills and Estate Planning is not just something we do; it is something we specialize in. After all, the legacy you leave behind is more important than what you leave behind.

Home Inspector
A:
It depends what jurisdiction the home was built in. In Kelowna it is not allowed. In the Vernon area it is allowed, but is considered very poor practice and cutting corners by the contractor. Some of the issues that could arise because of this are: crawlspaces tend to get very dusty and dirty, the stale crawlspace air is pulled from the crawlspace, heated and distributed through the home. If the moisture barrier is compromised at the crawlspace floor, ground moisture and harmful gases such as radon will also be introduced into the air. Over time mold can grow in crawlspaces and this will also be introduced into the house air. There are other issues arising from this that can cause problems in the home as well. My suggestion is to have an HVAC technician install a proper balanced and ducted return air system. Your furnace and home will love you for it. And remember, when in doubt, always ask an expert.

Q: A:
I have heard that there is a No Frills Mortgage available and wonder if you can explain what this is?
We are seeing another media blast about a “large bank” offering a very low five year mortgage rate. The most important information is lost in the media reporting which is what the actual mortgage doesn’t allow for and the options that you would normally expect from a Lender have been removed. This is a No Frill Mortgage offer. You really have to read the fine print to know what the limits are on these types of mortgages as they will all be different from one lender to another. Having a low rate is really important but it is equally important to understand what the limits are. Here are few key points to watch for on any No Frill Mortgage offer: 1) You must sell your home to break the mortgage. 2) The higher penalty is based upon the discount you have been granted (example: Bank posted rate less the rate you were given times the # of months left in the 5 years or set at 3% of the mortgage or more ) 3) Limited prepayments or none at all-limits the ability to reduce your overall cost 4) Maximum repayment time of 25 years or less for all borrowers. 5) No ability to use Portability of the mortgage to another home or have a buyer assume your mortgage to avoid a prepayment penalty. 6) Refinancing before the five years term expires may not be available.

Water can be a problem in many peoples’ ears. If drying your ears after swimming does not provide enough relief, you might try gently pulling up and back on the ear while tilting your head to the side. Hopefully, this motion will help to dislodge the water. Never put a Q-tip into the ear. You may also want to consider swim plugs. These are custom made (from impressions of your ears) and will help keep the water out. Many people use them and find them comfortable and effective for keeping ears dry. Contact your local health care provider, as these should be custom fit. Discovery Plaza #6, 3100 - 35 St., Vernon

I have recently purchased a new home built on a crawlspace. I discovered that the return air system has no ductwork, but uses the crawlspace for return air. Is this acceptable?

Allergies Spring is the season when trees and flowers start to bloom and pollinate. It is also the start of allergy season for many allergy sufferers. Your symptoms may range from sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes to difficulty breathing or hives. Although about 20% of the population has some form of allergy, there are many effective treatments for allergies. Some treatments are only available on prescription, but many effective treatments are available without a prescription. Be sure to ask your Remedy’sRx pharmacist for a treatment that is well suited to your condition and your lifestyle. • Consult your Remedy’sRx pharmacist for nonprescription antihistamine suggestions. When used as directed, most antihistamines are safe and very effective. • In some cases, a combination of products may be recommended. For example, an antihistamine, eye drops and nose drops can be used for sneezing and itchy eyes. • Avoid allergy triggers. If pollens aggravate your allergies, spend more time indoors than outdoors. If you have mold in your basement, consider removing the mold.
