Frustration erupts over water rates

SPRING SWING

BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff

The downhill sit-skiing event is one of Josh Dueck’s best and the Vernon resident was looking forward on Thursday to adding to his silver medal in the slalom. But given course conditions at Whistler-Creekside, Dueck told his wife Lacey he was going to be pumped just to finish the Vancouver Paralympic event. Mission accomplished. Dueck, 29, turned in a gutsy performance and was in fifth place at press time, positioned well for a top-10 result. “I talked to him this morning and he said he was going to be so excited just to finish the course,” Lacey Dueck told The Morning Star via cellphone from the

mountain’s noisy finish-line area. Josh was not available for comment after his run. Prior to her husband’s performance, Lacey had seen more than 10 other athletes crash, some having to be towed away by snowmobile. One skier had to be lifted off the mountain by helicopter. “(The run) is in super tough shape,” said Lacey. “Tons of crashes. It’s been gnarly.” Clear skies led to frozen slopes overnight and slush in the daytime. Given what she’d witnessed before Josh’s turn, Lacey was an even bigger bundle of nerves than during Sunday’s slalom. “There’s been a tense energy watching everyone crash. I knew he’d get down safe but the nerves were building.”

Friends and family at Lacey’s side helped her deal with the emotions. “I’m learning how to breathe pretty well,” she laughed. “I have a ton of support here from friends and family.” Lacey said Josh would be pleased with the result, even if it didn’t put him on the podium. “He met his goal for today and he’ll be excited,” she said. “It’d be nice to get a medal but he didn’t crash and he’ll be happy.” Josh is competing in the super-G event today at 1 p.m. and will race the super combined slalom Sunday at 2 p.m. “He’s going to be ready to charge for (Friday),” said Lacey. “I think he’s going to be stoked.”

Politicians are being accused of reneging on a promise by increasing water rates for farmers. The North Okanagan Regional District board adopted its 2010 budget Thursday, including an across-the-board nine per cent rate hike for Greater Vernon water customers, including agricultural users. “Agriculture got screwed,” said Ted Osborn, the industry’s representative on water issues, after observing the vote from the public gallery. While upset with the actions of Vernon officials, much of Osborn’s frustration is directed towards politicians from largely farming communities. “Areas B, C and Coldstream went Ted Osborn along with it. It leaves a very bad taste,” he said. Osborn insists the rate hike goes against previous promises made to agricultural customers. “They disregarded the principles of the master water plan that agriculture wouldn’t pay for water quality improvements,” he said, adding that the focus of the rate hike will benefit residential users while farmers only require water pressure and supply. The primary reason for the higher levy is to pay for the new Duteau Creek treatment plant debt and operation of the facility. The average flat rate for an agricultural customer is $212 per hectare a year. The nine per cent increase will raise that by $19 per hectare annually. “We’re in a competitive market and must ensure our costs are in line,” said Osborn. “This arbitrary decision is unwarranted.” Wayne Lippert, Vernon director, stands by the nine per cent rate increase for all customers. “In 2006, the budget was overturned because of water rates and we were set back (in generating revenue),” he said. “Rates were held down and the difference came out of reserves. Now we have to pay that back and catch up.” Lippert also insists the needs of agricultural users are a priority, with irrigation water eventually being separated from domestic water. “Twinning is going on and we’re trying to achieve a good agricultural rate so they can be competitive,” he said. Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, defends his support for the new fee structure. “That increase is necessary. It’s equitable in that everyone gets hit the same amount,” he said.

News Enthusiastic crowds greet Red Wings KEVIN PARNELL Black Press

Some Detroit Red Wings players snowmobiled, others went on wine tours or soaked up the Okanagan sun this week. Every player practised in front of large crowds Wednesday and Thursday at Prospera Place in Kelowna, as they were being put through the paces preparing for a game tonight in Edmonton. “It’s incredible,� said Ken Holland, Wings general manager and Vernon resident, after the first practice. “Six thousand people come watch a 45-minute practice. I think it really goes to show the passion of Canadians to the sport of hockey. I thought it was awesome. When we set this up we hoped to get a cou-

ple thousand so to come out here today and see that many people is incredible.� When Holland saw the break in his team’s NHL schedule between games in Calgary and Edmonton he approached the Kelowna Rockets and Prospera Place about ice availability. The Rockets and Prospera Place partnered with the Wings to help make the visit come together. Fans clamoured for autographs following the ice sessions while the media was given open access to Detroit dressing rooms, speaking with players and coaches. Goalie Chris Osgood is one of several NHL players with homes in Vernon and he hosted some players at his place for a night. He said it was a great atmosphere that featured more Detroit fans than he expected. “It’s fun for us to practise in front of people like that,� he said. “It’s great to see the kids excited. They have player cards of guys you weren’t expecting. You expected Canucks everywhere but I think it’s good for them to meet us. We’re normal guys. We’re not bad guys. We just play for a team that some people don’t like.� That’s likely no longer the case in Kelowna where the Wings no doubt acquired thousands of new fans. A win-win for everyone involved, to be sure. Unless that is, the Wings can’t beat Edmonton tonight. “Obviously if we don’t win it’s not a good idea,� said Holland. “But I believe over eight months you have to do some different things. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for people in Kelowna.� And no hockey fan here will ever say it was a bad idea.

Through his own research, Bannerman believes there is a need for a facility that would include racing, gaming, training, boarding and a veterinary hospital. “The industry is looking for a home,” he said.

The study would consider the costs involved in constructing such a facility, what senior government funds may be available, what services the regional district could provide and potential

Bannerman won’t speculate on what the study’s final outcome would be. “It could tell us it’s so undoable we don’t want to move to the next step.

Adding these to previous efforts by Kalamalka Rotarians we’ve been able to help send 23 ShelterBox kits to Haiti at $1,000 each; enough to house 230 individuals before the deluge of the rainy season! Some of these funds were also matched by the Canadian Government meaning $13,000 over and above the $23,000 has also been sent to offer aid and shelter.

Board wants creek action RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Regional politicians are joining the fight to clean up one of the region’s dirtiest water bodies. The North Okanagan Regional District board is fully endorsing the District of Coldstream’s grant application to the Okanagan Basin Water Board to improve water quality along part of Coldstream Creek. “This is a little extra weight they are looking for,” said director Will Hansma of backing Coldstream’s bid. The municipality is seeking $17,000 from OBWB and another $10,000 from the Environmental Farm Plan for the creek enhancements. “It’s the most polluted waterway in the region,” said Gyula Kiss, a Coldstream director at NORD. The municipality is concerned the creek, and ultimately Kalamalka Lake, is being contaminated by activities from residential, agricultural and industrial uses. “Nutrients from fertilizers applied on agricultural lands could contribute to aquatic plant growth (milfoil) and algae blooms, sediment can increase turbidity and aggradations of the shoreline and contaminants (fecal coliforms) can cause increased risk to human health for recreational users and lead to increased costs for water treat-

— Gyula Kiss ment (chlorination) as there are two drinking water intakes in Kalamalka Lake,” said Michael Stamhuis, Coldstream’s chief administrative officer, in a letter to OBWB. The project the municipality wants to proceed with involves the creek immediately upstream of School Road in Lavington. That area is subject to erosion, livestock and drainage problems. “In addition, test results on either side of these segments indicate water quality degradation impacts,” said Stamhuis. Kiss is hopeful that the OBWB grant will be approved and improvements to the creek will proceed. “Coldstream Creek is in dire need of improvements. We will look at ways of mitigating the various pollution sources,” he said.

Contract awarded for reservoir RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A major improvement to Greater Vernon’s water system is moving ahead. The North Okanagan Regional District has awarded a $375,276 contract to Kelowna-based R355 Enterprises to prepare the site for a reservoir on Middleton Mountain. “It’s been vetted and it’s the low tender,” said director Patrick Nicol of the successful tender. The decision to proceed with the reservoir has been precipitated by residential growth on the mountain. Director Gyula Kiss believes residents will welcome the project. “We have difficulties with fire flows there and this will provide a better service,” he said. Middleton Mountain is generally serviced by water from Duteau Creek although Kalamalka Lake water may also be used during the spring, fall and winter. “The service area has been adjusted so the reservoir will service parts of Vernon and parts of Area C,” said Al Cotsworth, water utility manager. As part of its contract, R355 Enterprises will do major earth work such as removing the topsoil and subsoil, blasting and removing rock, constructing roads, water supply and storm water piping, constructing a reservoir pad and seeding the site with grass. “A second tender will be issued later this summer for the remainder of the project, including the

Cadets prepare for avalanches CAPT. AMELIE LEDUC Special To The Morning Star

Ten senior army cadets from across B.C. are currently spending six days of their spring break in Vernon as they undertake a combination of avalanche certification and winter leadership training. After two days of classroom instruction and practical work at Kal Beach, the cadets, under the supervision of Lieutenant Carolyn Baker and Second Lieutenant Brendan Lewis will travel to Big White where they will set up a winter camp. The cadets will spend the first night in tents, and depending on conditions on the mountain, the second night in snow caves. The avalanche skills training is provided by Russ Turner of Skaha Rock Adventures and Lyle Thiede, the Assistant Patrol Director of Apex Mountain Resort. “The cadets will receive the basic knowledge in a classroom setting,” says Turner, who has 30 years of experience teaching summer and winter programs. “We’ll give them the tools and open their eyes so they can make informed decisions.” Cadets are also directed to the Canadian Avalanche Centre (CAC) web site where they can search for more detailed information and understand the jargon associated with avalanche hazards. On Monday, the cadets practiced finding buried transceivers at Kal Beach. Turner says that using the sandy beach as a substitute for snow allows the cadets to learn to locate buried transceivers without the problems associated with learning on the mountain. “It’s easier for the cadets when they’re not concerned with the cold and winter conditions on the mountain and it’s more cost effective to do the basic training here in Vernon.” For cadet warrant

officer Chris Brovold of Surrey, the first two days of the course has raised his awareness of avalanche dangers. “I never knew how frequent avalanches are,” he said, adding that the knowledge gained in Vernon will come in handy when his cadet corps carries on winter field training exercises in Manning Park. Although he’s not looking forward to the cold on Big White. “I’ll be able to share this knowledge with the other cadets,” he says. For cadet master warrant officer Ryan Deveau of Victoria, the course will help him to avoid problems in the back country when he moves to Yellowknife in the future. “I hadn’t applied for the course, but last Friday when I completed the pre-parachute course, I was told there had been a cancellation, so here I am.” Deveau has trained in Vernon in the summer, but this is his first winter leadership training course. At the conclusion of the 22-hour course, the cadets will earn an avalanche skills training, level one certificate. “This course is a prerequisite to taking the Canadian Avalanche Association (CAA) 10-day Professional Level One course,” says Turner. The skills learned will include recognizing avalanche terrain, route finding, weather observations, snow-pack study, elementary snow

Proud to be from Vernon

L

ots of Vernonites remember enjoying hamburgers at The Burger Baron. Or the North End Drive-In. Or Grace’s Dairy Drive-In. The world’s best cinnamon buns, Nanaimo bars and date squares could be found at The Roxy Bakery. While today, of course, we enjoy all that Silver Star Mountain Resort has to offer, for many Vernonites their fondest memories of skiing were at night at Tillicum. At least a half-dozen people have recalled Roger Knox spending their weekend nights pulling mainers up and down Main Street. And, just how many floors, exactly, did the old Bay building have downtown? Thanks to the social networking page, Facebook, I have been enjoying a stroll down memory lane. Me and 721 others. A couple of people started a page on the site called You Know You’re From Vernon When. “Write how much you love Vernon and what you love about it,” encouraged the creators of the page. “You know your proud to be from VERNON...” Turns out, so far, 722 people are proud to be from Vernon, including many who have moved away, and many who remain. Somebody will post a memory which, inevitably, will lead to others posting theirs about the same thing, or the post will tweak something in someone’s memory bank and they’ll write that down. I grew up where Okanagan Spring Brewery now is and I had completely forgotten there was a house at the entrance to Polson Park until my friend Lisa mentioned that was her

AT RANDOM

grandfather’s house. Food is a common memory, such as the best place to get hamburgers. A lot of people wish – myself included – Nick’s Kandy Kitchen was still open. People enjoyed fine dining at Hy’s Steak House, the Bib and Tucker, the Beefeater Inn, Tastee Freeze, Scotty’s Pancake House, Pardner’s, Bonanza, which became Peggy Sue’s, a 50s-styled restaurant complete with a car in the wall. Those with healthier tastes remember getting their fruit and vegetables at Valley Fruit Stand. Or The Fruit Union. There’s been talk about Hotel Corner. Several people remember vividly the Allison Hotel burning to the ground. Rec Centre and Paddlewheel Hall dances were well attended. Our Heaven Roller Rink was a happening place. People remember shooting pool at Vern Dye’s Billiards Hall. Or watching the Vernon Essos, Vernon Vikings and Vernon Lodge Tigers at the Civic Arena, before renovations. Or the first thing you saw coming down Hospital Hill was NOCA dairy. There was a talking mynah bird in a shoe store downtown. One guy got his haircuts from Ted Enns of Country Squire barbershop fame when Ted’s shop was beside Butcher Boys. People miss buying records at Freddie’s Records, or shopping at Eaton’s. I wrote on the site about being freaked out by being on the fourth floor of the old Bay building, and more than a dozen people replied that the Bay didn’t have four floors. Some wrote it had two plus a basement. Some wrote it had three floors. Some checked with their parents or relatives. I swear it had four floors. I could be wrong, but I know I’m not wrong about one thing: I’m proud to be a Vernonite. And I know I’m not alone with that feeling.

It just might be a way out of a dispute for everyone concerned. Although at first blush it may look like a feasibility study into developing a new centre for racing and other horse-related activities would come at the taxpayer’s expense, it actually may save money in the long run, so to speak. The Okanagan Equestrian Society, which is legally fighting a North Okanagan Regional District edict to vacate Kin Race Track by Dec. 31, is suggesting $7,000 towards such a study would go a long way to resolving the dispute. They’re hoping such a study would lead to a new home facility for the society, preferably in Spallumcheen, which has expressed interest. The regional district wants to develop the Kin Race Track site for much-needed sports fields. It’s difficult to predict what such a study would come up with, but obviously if financially viable such a facility anywhere in the North Okanagan would be a boon for the region. NORD directors Wayne Lippert and Mike Gavinchuk seemed open to considering the proposal as a possible better option than any route through the courts. The regional district has yet to make a final decision on funding a study but any outcome should be weighed against any potential court costs if the two sides continue to butt heads. A win-win for the North Okanagan and all involved would be a decision that eventually resulted in more sports fields for Greater Vernon and a new and improved equestrian facility somewhere in the North Okanagan.

Council ignores taxpayers

A

petition signed by a large number of Lumby taxpayers said no to tax increases. The petitions were presented to council at a recent meeting (March 1). The mayor’s response was a true slap in the face to the citizens of this community. He basically questioned those citizens that worked to have the petitions signed and vowed to phone every signatory to confirm they had indeed signed. Lumby has experienced mill closures, the glass plant moving away and the economic down turn, which has cost further jobs to the citizens of this small community. Our tax load is greater than some areas of like size and some larger communities as well. Council hasn’t done any upgrades to

POOR TASTE I noticed Kalamalka Secondary School hosted a "Kalabunga Daze" event which looked like a fun event! I'm happy the kids were having a good time. I wanted to point out that the practice of jamming marshmallows into your mouth is dangerous. There have been some deaths involving choking on marshmallows, including most recently, a 36-year-old woman and a 12-yearold girl. I like a good marshmallow, roasted over the fire as much as the next person, but putting raw marshmallows into your mouth and giggling is a recipe for disaster. How would one perform the Heimlich maneuver on a choking "Chubby Bunny"? Chances are you'll choke on some type of food in your life, hopefully you'll be able to cough, remove it and get on with life, maybe a bit embarrassed if you were in a restaurant. At one point you may have to have the Heimlich maneuver performed on you, or even perform it on yourself... I just hope it isn't to remove a marshmallow. How about changing the "Chubby Bunny" contest to a "Root Beer Chug" instead?

the industrial park to draw commercial and small industries to the area, sewer access is just not there. Spend tax dollars on these services and these businesses will come, provide jobs and increase the tax base. Small businesses in Lumby are reeling over more and more taxes and citizens are selling their homes and moving elsewhere. There is $42,241.23 excess in the budget, for what? Kudos to the two resident councillors of Lumby who supported their citizens. We shall see them on council again. The mayor and the other two councillors should be asking themselves who they truly represent. The next election is not that far off. Elinor Turrill

The biggest problem with that may be some nasty belches at the end. Carla Rayner APOLLO SPEEDWAY To the person who ran over our cat on Apollo Road. Please slow down and take more care while driving on our road. Drivers have a tendency to gun their vehicles once they have rounded the corner off of Longacre or come way too fast over the hill down Apollo. I have two other cats, two dogs, and a child. Don’t kill any more of our family! You took the life of our precious pet Thomas who I adopted from the SPCA three years ago with my then four-year-old daughter. He loved everyone, including the dogs, and not only tolerated a toddler picking him up around the shoulders but seemed to enjoy it. I will miss having my eyebrows groomed with cat spit, his kitty hugs whenever we picked him up, and being woken up in the middle of the night from his contented purring on my pillow. My heart is completely broken. This brings me to my second comment — options for our neighbourhood concerning the Hesperia lands.

VERNON

The proposed diagram included with the invitation suggests that they will extend Apollo road through the new planned community and take out the road that connects with Longacre currently. Right now, the only thing that slows people down on this end of the road is that sharp corner. I can only imagine the speedway that will be created. To city council, please do not proceed with this. How about you stop putting more greenspace downtown and put the buildings and roads where they belong? Lisa Isnardy JUST A THOUGHT Re: Incinerator for animal carcasses: If there is a need for this facility I suggest that it be appropriately located on the site of Greater Vernon’s other “agricultural” operation, Kekuli Bay’s bio-solids production facility. That way the smell of incinerated carcasses (this is a rendering plant, folks) will be indistinguishable from the outdoor processing of human excrement at this site, and no-one will be the wiser. Both wastes can be quietly trucked through heavily populated areas on our main highway.

ance dollars, what’s next? It seems what this current government is bent on is taxing us, then taxing us again and again. Hopefully we will not give the Liberal Party that privilege again. Lee Fennell

And as the residential neighbours die off from the carcinogens or move away, we will be able to take advantage of depressed values and displace those fat cats from their multi-million dollar mansions. Ah, the power of regional government. Ken Biss TAX WOES Colin Hansen, thanks for the lowest tax rate in Canada and thanks for the highest hidden agenda taxes in Canada. It is so infuriating to see the increase in hidden tax increases/ fees such as the increase in BC Hydro rates and the latest scam to take $778 million from ICBC to put in general revenue. Where’s the justice in that? ICBC should be lowering rates not being a slush fund for government. Hydro run-the-river projects etc. are not sustainable nor a good business model, again we the taxpayer are on the hook to Premier Campbell’s green ideology. July 2010 is going to the greatest tax increase this province has ever encountered, first the HST of 12 per cent, carbon tax 4.5 per cent, Hydro 11 per cent, and now the latest scam, our ICBC insur-

Rural areas ratify industrial land strategy RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The Nor th Okanagan’s rural communities are joining an economic development strategy. The Electoral Area Advisory Committee have reversed thrusters and decided to sign the City of Vernon’s memorandum of understanding on industrial development. “Anything we can bring into the region (to create jobs) will benefit everyone,” said Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director. The committee had originally opted not to support the memorandum because of some concerns, but that situation has since evolved. “We put forward a friendly amendment and it shouldn’t be a problem for Vernon to accept,” said Macnabb. The committee wants to ensure the North Okanagan Regional District zoning process remains in place in rural areas and that it’s not assumed agricultural land will be developed for industrial uses. Macnabb has been concerned the push for industrial development could lead to farm land being absorbed and properties in his area being annexed into Vernon. “It keeps the authority within the jurisdiction involved,” he said

of the amendment. “It doesn’t prevent a property owner from coming forward and

applying for rezoning but they would have to meet all of the criteria within our OCP.

We can’t have the city looking across the border and saying, ‘That’s a nice piece of land to

develop.’” Under the memorandum of understanding, Vernon would be the

contact point for any industrial and business development looking to start up in the region.

All municipalities in the North Okanagan have signed the agreement.

Space is filling up quickly for the annual event which allows the Vernon chapter to proceed with local efforts such as the Oyama Wetland project to maintain floodplain habitats along the Okanagan River and the aim of purchasing 50 hectares of undeveloped wetland on the south shore of Swan Lake. “If you’re an outdoor enthusiast or are concerned about the loss of natural environments, this event gives you an opportunity to give something back to nature,” said Vernon event chair Bill Cuthbert. “Loss of wetland habitat is a huge threat.” — Cuthbert Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems on the planet and support about 600 species of plants and animals. They are vital to people too. “Wetlands help reduce flooding, treat wastewater, replenish groundwater, guard against erosion and keep our water clean,” said Cuthbert. “People truly need to understand that wetlands are an important part of our watershed.” The fundraiser will be a dinner and auction March 27 at the Best Western Vernon Lodge beginning at 6 p.m. Tickets are $50 per person and there will be a variety of prints and sculptures by Canadian artists available to bid on. Raffles for prizes donated by local businesses will also be held. “Tickets are selling fast,” said Cuthbert. “This year’s event will feature fun games, raffles, and auc-

(next to the Village Green Mall)

tions with some really great items to win. People are pretty excited.” To purchase tickets, contact Angie Meier at 250558-5049 or by e-mail at angiemeier@shaw.ca. You can buy tickets online at www.ducks.ca/tickets using code BC-104-10-1. Information about Ducks Unlimited Canada and donation details are available at www.ducks.ca.

“It’s a cause that touches everyone.� — Jackie George of the most fundamental fundraisers we have,� said residential campaign co-ordinator Jackie George. “The goal is to raise as much money as possible,� she said. “It’s a cause that touches everyone.� When you donate, you are supporting one of the Canadian Cancer Society’s

single most important drives against all types of cancer and providing assistance to those living with cancer in the community. Nearly 300 canvassers have signed up to help out this year but George says more are always welcome. “We’re always looking for more. We need as many doors knocked on as possible,� she said.

News Big scholarships up for grabs through newspaper association Morning Star Staff

The British Columbia and Yukon Community Newspapers Association (BCYCNA) will award some of the largest scholarships in B.C. and Yukon again this year. Scholarships of $3,500, $1,000, and $500 will be awarded to the three students who best answer the question – “How could your local paper partner with the youth in your community to make a positive difference?� Students must submit a 500-word essay to The Morning Star by April 23, 2010. One local finalist will be chosen. The finalists’ essays will then be forwarded to the BCYCNA where the top three scholarship winners will be selected. B.C. and Yukon high school grads are eligible for $5,000 in scholarships, making them some of the most accessible awards available. “The BCYCNA is pleased to once again provide graduating high school students across BC and Yukon with the opportunity to receive considerable scholarship awards,� said Scott Nelson, president of the BCYCNA. “One of BCYCNA’s member initiatives is to be able to make this kind of contribution to the young people who live in the communities we serve.� The three scholarships will be awarded to the winners at their graduating ceremony by a representative of their local community newspaper. Another scholarship is available to prospective female journalists. A $2,500 scholarship is provided through the generosity of the late Evelyn A. Caldwell, known to generations of Vancouver Sun readers as “Penny Wise.� The recipient will be enrolled in the one-year certificate program in journalism at Langara College. The program runs full-time from September to mid-April and any woman at least 19 years old who is a B.C. resident and can demonstrate an interest in journalism is eligible. You must also submit transcripts of your high school, college or univer-

sity grades along with an 800-1,000-word essay on why you want a career

in journalism. Samples of your published work and supporting letters from

teachers and editors may enhance your chances. Applications must be

received in the BCYCNA office by April 30. Mailing address is: Penny

Wise Scholarship, B.C. and Yukon Community Newspapers Association,

122-1020 Mainland Street, Vancouver, B.C. V6B 2T4.

Snakes pumped for Penticton GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

Many looked at it as a simple tuneup to prepare for the B.C. Hockey League Interior Conference final. A minor inconvenience standing between the Vernon Vipers and a shot at defending the Fred Page Cup. Instead, the Snakes found themselves in a six-game grudge match with the feisty Quesnel Millionaires, who gave their all against the defending Royal Bank Cup champs. On the strength of back-to-back shutouts by Graeme Gordon, the Vipers clinched their best-of-seven Interior semifinal 4-2 Tuesday night at the Vault in Quesnel. Vernon, ranked second in the country, hosts the No. 3-rated Penticton Vees in Games 1 and 2 of the Interior final tonight and Saturday night at Wesbild Centre. Games 3 and 4 go Tuesday and Wednesday night at South Okanagan Events Centre. The Vees iced the Westside Warriors 4-2 in the other Interior semi, ending with a 4-3 overtime Game 6 thriller Tuesday at Royal LePage Place. Gordon, a North Vancouver product, turned in a 25-save showing as the Vipers iced the Mills 5-0 in Tuesday’s Game 6. The 20-year-old keeper backstopped the Snakes to a 4-0 Game 5 win a night earlier at Wesbild. “Those last two games were our best effort in the playoffs by far,” said Gordon, who admitted to feeling a bit rusty after missing 10 games with a lower-body injury late in the regular season. “I just went back to what worked for me – pre-game routine, focusing throughout the game. I’m feeling like a young Andrew Hammond now,” he added, laughing. Jonathan Milhouse, Sahir Gill, Cole Ikkala, Garrett Noonan and Connor Jones led the Viper offence with a goal and assist each in Game 6. Kellen Jones supplied two helpers. The Mills came out desperate, but the Vipers’ skill took over the game as they outshot Quesnel 45-25. “They really only had those two lines, and they were obviously tired from the series before (against the Salmon Arm SilverBacks),” said Gordon. After watching his team struggle with consistency, earning a split in the first four games, Vipers’ head coach Mark Ferner decided to juggle his lines, reuniting twins Connor and Kellen with Gill, and placing David Robinson on a line with Braden Pimm and Mike Collins. “Giller, Connor and Kell have kind of found their groove again. We just wanted to get a spark; we needed to let them know that we needed to get some guys going,” said Ferner. “It was a matter of time until we got our game back. In the last two games we were a lot better in certain areas.” Ferner compared the physicality of the Quesnel series to last year’s semifinal epic with Salmon Arm. “You’ve got to give them credit. They played a really hard series,” said Ferner. “This was a good thing for us. They didn’t make it easy on us and we needed that.” As the series wore on, Ferner says it was the Vipers’ depth and experience that made the difference. It is something the Snakes will be relying on more as the post-season continues. “Our ability to roll four lines wears teams down, especially in a seven-game series. We’re prepared to play seven hard games, and that’s the mentality you have to have,” he said. “The one thing we’ve got over other teams is the experi-

Our guys have what it takes to win.” Added Gordon: “I’d rather go six games than have a fourgame cakewalk and then head into Penticton thinking it’s going to be easy.” Given the two team’s regular-season rivalry (they split the series 3-3), Ferner is expecting fireworks with the Penticton series, especially with both teams back at full strength. “Finally, they are healthy. We want to play the best team out there at their best, and we feel that’s Penticton. I’m sure they’re saying the same thing. “It should be a very entertaining series. Fans will be in for a treat.” Said Vees’ head coach Fred Harbinson: “It’s two teams that know each other well. It has been a tight series all year and we’ve had success in their building, so we feel confident going in there this weekend. We feel like we’re in a good place. “Both teams are filled with talented players, so it’s going to be awesome for fans and for the BCHL,” he added, suggesting these could be two of the most gifted teams in BCHL history.

Kaneda cooks up Heat title KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

Officially, Maddie Kaneda is studying second-year sciences at UBC Okanagan University. Unofficially, the 19-year-old is taking Hoops 101. The slick shooting guard will play her heart out for the Heat in the Canadian Collegiate Athletics Association women’s basketball championships this weekend in Kelowna. The Fulton Maroons grad will then finish school and prepare for a summer gig working at a basketball camp somewhere in the U.S. “I’ll be coaching at a camp starting June 18 but I don’t even know where it is,” she laughed. “All I know is it’s called Camp Dandee.” A major gym junkie, Kaneda had a splendid sophomore season as the Heat won the provincial title last weekend at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo. The 5-foot-8 hustler made great plays at both ends of the court as the Heat stopped Victoria’s Camosun Chargers 69-67 in the final. Kaneda drained 16 points, grabbed seven rebounds and recorded two steals as the Heat upended the host Mariners 75-70 in the semis. UBC Okanagan goes into the eight-

team nationals ranked fourth and they met the fifth-rated Cégep de Sainte-Foy Dynamiques of Quebec in their opener Thursday night. “They won nationals the last two years but this year they lost to Dawson (College Blues of Ontario) so they got a wildcard berth,” said Kaneda. “It should be a good game.” The Dynamiques are known as a physical team and according to Heat coach Heather Semeniuk, “There is more than just the physical play, these are the twotime champs, they have many weapons. However, if we stick with our style of play and push the ball, run, and maintain pressure on defence, we will be able to compete at their level.” The Heat have come on strong in the second half of the season, winning the last six games of the season to claim the BCCAA championship. They were ranked No. 11 in January before finding their groove. Katie Woodman and Meghan McGill were both named to the provincial all-star team and are expected to play key roles at the nationals. Semeniuk has high hopes for her girls, and the Heat will be relying on their strong team play to make a long run. “We have to play our best game and

improve on each performance. Also, if we can get good support from our bench and not let the pressure of playing in front of friends, family, and a home crowd affect our performance we can come out on top. “We’ve been doing a lot of shooting drills lately, and will be relying on our outside shooting to cause problems for other teams, but most importantly, we will be taking it one opponent at a time and not worrying about who we might have to face at the end. We have been playing our best ball of the season lately, and if we can keep it up, expect something special.” Kaneda, who will switch to kinetics studies next year (likely at a CIS school) realizes what it takes for the Heat to be at their best. “We push the ball and run a fast-paced game and play hard defence and that leads to good offence.” The Sheridan College Bruins of Ontario are ranked No. 1. The SAIT Trojans of Edmonton are No. 3. Sheridan met Camosun Thursday night with the winner facing either the Dynamiques or Heat in tonight’s semifinal. Festivities began with a banquet and awards ceremony Wednesday night, where the CCAA Player-of-the-Year and national all-star teams were named. Follow the tournament at www.goheat.ca/nats.

Hill earns Neil Daffern up-and-comer award Morning Star Staff

Kevin Hill’s breakthrough snowboard season has not gone unnoticed. The 23-year-old Vernon product was recently honoured with the Neil Daffern Memorial Award, meant to recognize up-and-coming elite riders who have demonstrated an exemplary level of perforKevin Hill mance or commitment

to the sport. Hill, who narrowly missed his Olympic nomination, was instead a forerunner with the Canadian men’s snowboard cross team at the Vancouver Games. He shared the award with halfpipe rider Palmer Taylor of Collingwood, Ont. Both riders are members of the Canada Snowboard National Development Group and will receive $5,000 in financial assistance to help them on their journey. Hill, who is also a pro BMX racer, has shown steady progression in snowboard

cross. In 2010, Hill qualified for the finals in each of his five world cup starts. At the world cup event in Stoneham, Que., he posted a career-high sixth-place finish. A member of the provincial team, Hill has cracked the top-12 in three of his last four world cup races. Taylor, the youngest rider on the Canadian Olympic team at 17 years of age, placed 26th in women’s halfpipe. She was ninth at the U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix in Copper, Colo.

Kapak cruises to national berth Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Connie Kapak far surpassed her No. 6 billing in the Midget girls division at the B.C. Speed Skating Championships last weekend in Dawson Creek. The 11-year-old speedster, the youngest in her division, collected three gold medals, four silver and one bronze. She improved her ranking to second overall and will now join a Prince George skater in representing B.C. at nationals, March 26-28 in Campbellton, N.B. “A great result considering her being the youngest skater of the age group,” said Kelowna’s Nancy Goplen, who coaches Kapak. While most competitors arrived the day before the competition, Kapak showed up early to practise with the Dawson Creek club to get familiar with the ice conditions. Goplen says it probably made a difference. KEVIN MITCHELL/MORNING STAR

Vernon’s Yvonne Walker shows textbook form in her delivery at Lincoln Lanes.

Walker rolls 450 KEVIN MITCHELL Morning Star Staff

Her coach Ivan Soroka says she’s like a robot on the alley, tossing strikes and spares with ease. Yvonne Walker was actually feeling somewhat non-human when she rolled a dozen straight strikes last Wednesday night at Lincoln Lanes. She earned $2,800 for her second career perfect 450 game. “On my 11th (ball), my legs felt like Jell-O and on my 12th, I also felt like Jell-O,” said Walker. “I was pretty excited. I’m going to use the money to re-roof part of my house.” The 36-year-old Canadian Wholesale Club employee throws a hard, smooth ball in a sport she has enjoyed since her Youth Bowling Council days at the same alley. Encouraged by Five-pack teammates Martin Boulet (her husband) and Terri Hallstrom, Walker’s night didn’t start out all that sweet. “I was practising on the far side (lanes) and all I could get were letters. I moved to one and two and things starting going better. I was very relaxed and my teammates were quiet and just leaving me alone. The Conway team next to us was also very supportive.” Walker opened with a sizzling 328

on the strength of seven strikes in a row. She followed with the perfect game and capped things off with a 288 for a scorching 1,066 triple, 310 pins over her 252 average in the Wednesday 7-9 p.m. league. Her last perfect game came in 2005, on her last day as a staff member at Lincoln lanes, on lanes seven and eight. Walker has held the Lincoln house ladies high average since 1993. She has twice competed in the TSN Pins Game, making the quarterfinals once, and bowled in one CBC-TV Championship series. She won the provincial gold medal in the Coast Insurance Open and went on to claim the national title in Gatineau, Que., in 2004. Walker’s hot streak rubbed off her hubby as Boulet rolled a 405 in a league roll-off Wednesday. Her stepson, Jonathan, 14, bowls in Saturday YBC. The perfect game sponsors are: Authentic Plaques & Trophies; Quick Silver Delivery; Coldstream Auto; Interior Auto Wreckers; Lincoln Lanes; A&G Supply; Romei Plummer; Inspiration Homes; Willems Forest Products; Okanagan Irrigation; Ladies World; Nicklen Lake Resort; Kelly O’Bryans.

“The opportunity to represent the province made it an easy decision regarding the week of missed school and heavy travel,” said Pete Kapak, Connie’s father. Racing at nationals can be viewed at www. campbellton2010.com.

wheelchair curling.” Armstrong’s Ina Forrest, 47, has been in a wheelchair for nearly half her life after being injured in a car accident caused by a drunk driver. Now second for Canada’s team skipped by Jim Armstrong of Richmond, she said she finds the sport a confidence builder and a lot of fun. “It’s a joy to be able to participate,” said Forrest, surrounded by her husband and their three children. The four top-ranked teams advance to the medal playoffs. Tiebreakers would go today with the semifinals set for Saturday morning. The bronze and gold-medal finals are set for 2:30 p.m. Several team members criticized the condition of the ice at the Vancouver Paralympic Centre as challenging and slow. “The ice has been very tough. We were hoping it would be faster,” said Thomas Wilhelm, manager of the Swedish team. Paralympic wheelchair curling differs from Olympic curling in that each team is required to have at least one member of the opposite sex. In addition, there are no sweeps and athletes are braced from behind by teammates as they release the heavy rocks, because while the chairs have brakes, “when you throw a lot of weight you might backslide,” said Forrest.

Thursday night. Canada stopped Korea 6-4 and doubled Germany 8-4 Wednesday, improving to 7-1 atop the 10-team field. Their only loss came versus Sweden. The sport is making only its second appearance at the Games. Vernon’s Sonja Gaudet is the only returnee from Canada’s gold-medal showing at the 2006 Games in Turin. For Canada, being on home turf brings the support of a sea of red-clad fans in the crowd at the Vancouver Paralympic Centre, built specially for the Olympics and Paralympics. “We all love the crowd here, especially the enthusiasm of the kids,” said Gaudet, who plays lead. “But the noise takes some getting used to.” Canadian third Darryl Neighbour of Richmond said wheelchair curling gave him his life back after he fell from a roof in 2000 onto concrete while working on a construction site, leaving him a paraplegic. “I thought my life was over,” he told AFP as the Canadian team – winners of the 2006 gold medal – rolled off the ice after beating Great Britain 9-2 in the first session of round-robin competition. Neighbour, 61, began sports as physical therapy, “and wheelchair curling was the best therapy that could have happened,” he said. “I’ve traveled the world through

for Anderson, while Brad Kuhn stepped in to help the Laface foursome. The Heath rink – skip Darren, his mother Sherry (third), Anderson (second) and Sam Van Iperen (lead) – suffered their first loss, falling 8-4 to New Westminster’s Dale Hockley Thursday afternoon. Heath (4-1), who met Tom Buchy (4-0) of Kimberley Thursday night, will end round-robin play this morning (9 a.m.) against Dave Belway of Salmon Arm. The final goes Saturday afternoon (2 p.m.). After opening with a pair of 7-6 wins over Chilliwack’s Bruce Renwick and Cloverdale’s Craig Lepine on Tuesday, Heath cranked up the offence, hammering New Westminster’s Todd Jones 8-3 and stuffing Williams Lake’s Bart Sawyer 10-4 Wednesday.

enth end, capitalizing on a missed hit to score two. In the final end, Laface was heavy with his last shot, leaving Gardner with a routine draw to the eight-foot for the win. Gardner collected the $400 purse, while Laface pocketed the $250 runner-up prize. “It goes right back into the team account,” smiled Gardner, noting the cost of traveling to bonspiels adds up in a hurry. The Gardner foursome thanked sponsors Sladen Moore, Baron Insurance, Sunshine Honda, East Hill Physiotherapy, Safeway, Hi-Pro Sports and Butcher Boys. Laface is sponsored by Line X.

The junior skip orchestrated a seven-game win streak, ending with an 8-7 win over veteran Wayne Laface in the championship game Wednesday night at the Vernon Curling Club. Gardner, 20, credits a lack of pressure for helping them relax down the stretch. His junior rink – third Mike Longworth and the front end of Tyler Van Den Berghe and Kyle Anderson – were a stone away from winning the B.C. Junior Men’s Championships over the Christmas holidays in Victoria. After that, he says they just played for fun. “After we got back from provincials, we just said we’d take it easy and have some fun. We didn’t put any pressure on ourselves and then we ended up winning four straight (to end the regular season). “It was really unexpected, but we just got on a roll and everyone pulled their weight and made it happen.” Laface got off to a great start, collecting three in the first end after Gardner missed an open hit. Laface stole a single in two, then forced Gardner to one in three. The junior rink mounted its comeback in the fifth end, drawing to the four-foot for a deuce. In the sixth end, both teams had plenty of rocks in play and Gardner missed a tapback, leaving Laface a tricky through a hole for two. However, the veteran skip ticked a guard to allow a steal of three, putting Gardner ahead by a point. “We just focussed on getting at least two points (in the fifth end) and then kept putting on the pressure. And then we were right back in it,” said Gardner, who is studying business at Okanagan College. Laface jumped back in front in the sev-

Midget Reapers raid Coast Morning Star Staff

The shorthanded Vernon Talon Benefits Reapers prevailed in a tough three-day Richmond Spring Break Midget Hockey Tournament, clipping host Richmond 5-4 in a shootout Sunday. The weary Reapers, who had just nine skaters and a goalie, fell behind 3-0 in the first period on some bad bounces in the final. They clawed their way back to tie the game 4-4. Overtime solved nothing and the Reapers, behind the incredible goaltending of Tyler Yawney, finally won the shootout 2-1 over seven rounds. It was Richmond’s first loss of the season. Coaches Kevin Murphy and Rick Zoethout felt the gold medal reflected the mental toughness their players developed over a difficult season. In addition, wingers Mark Francis, Tanya Nijjar, Brett Anderson and Steve Deshane were relentless along the boards and in the corners, especially in the final where the battle for the puck raged ferociously. Wingers were assisted in these efforts by the Reapers’ two centres: Zach Anderson and Kelly Zoethout, who followed coaches instructions in providing second-man support all over the ice. Andrew Sisson, Brodie Homeniuk and Yanik Fillion-Murphy steadied the entire team with their solid work on the blueline and in the many crucial penalty kill situations. After opening with a 3-2 loss to Richmond, the Reapers stormed back to defeat Vancouver C1 15-3 before tying Oceanside of Parksville 3-3. The Reapers then finished off the round-robin by besting Vancouver C2 5-2 to gain a berth in the semifinals against Oceanside, who they beat 2-1. The Lumby Stars had an incredible Pee Wee House tournament in Winfield last weekend, los-

ing 1-0 to the Kelowna Avalanche in the final with a lucky bounce off a skate. Shane Meadahl was stellar with 31 saves. In the semifinals, the Stars brushed back the Vernon Five Star Awards Warriors 2-1 on goals from Dex Elders and Kevin Fuller. The Stars played a great defensive game led by Tyson Larson and Meadahl, who made 26 saves. Austin Caldwell had two assists. Lumby opened by tying the Avalanche 3-3 on goals from Caldwell, Fuller and Elders. Assists went to Tyson Larson, Connor Fair and Adam Sacht. Shane Meadahl handled the goaltending duties with 24 saves. Meadahl then recorded a 12-save shutout as the Stars iced the Kelowna Phantoms 3-0. Ashley Tinney and Shale Miller supplied superb defence, while Fair (2) and Fuller handled the offence. Lumby then stopped the host Winfield Bruins 6-1 in a rough and entertaining game. Jodi Whitcomb had a great defensive game causing numerous turnovers and Meadahl turned aside 22 drives. Elders (4), Caldwell (1+3) and Adam Sacht scored for Lumby. Meanwhile, Vernon’s Alex Gowie earned three assists as the Thompson Okanagan Female Midget AAA Rockets toppled the Kootenay Wildcats 8-2 in Sunday’s provincial final in Prince George. The Rockets earlier thumped the Vancouver Island Impact 9-1, bounced the Vancouver Fusion 5-2, grounded the Fraser Valley Phantom 6-2, outlasted the Prince George Cougars 10-6 and clipped the Wildcats 4-3 in preliminary action. The Rockets advance to the Pacific Regional playdowns, April 2-4, against the Alberta champions (still to be determined). The regional winner goes to the Esso Nationals in Regina.

Vernon trio qualifies for Spanish finals Continued from A24 On Thursday, Hill qualified for today’s final at the FIS world cup event in Molina, Spain with a 31st-place finish. François Boivin (Jonquière, Que.) was the top Canadian qualifier in seventh, while Drew Neilson (North Vancouver) and Tom Velisek (Squamish), both formerly of Vernon, were 14th and 29th respectively.

Meanwhile, Vernon’s Jon Versteeg rebounded from a nasty back injury to earn a $3,500 payday at the Telus Triple Challenge last weekend in Blue Mountain, Ont. After being shelved for four weeks with a transverse process fracture in his lumbar vertebrae, Versteeg, 20, earned first-place finishes in slopestyle and rail jam, and was runner-up in the big air event.

6ERNON SINGER IS A HARD ACT TO FOLLOW KRISTIN FRONEMAN

Morning Star Staff

Darby Mills can still feel the noise. As lead singer of Vancouver rock band The Headpins, she remembers the not-soquiet riot of fans cheering for an encore every night. And then the disappointment –– the booing as the lights came on to indicate the end of the set. It was 1985, and The Headpins were supporting bearded rockers ZZ Top’s huge Afterburner tour through Canada. Riding on the success of hit singles Don’t It Make Ya Feel (Like Dancing) and Just One More Time featuring Mills’ notoriously powerful voice, The Headpins were set to play a show in Calgary –– a noted hot spot for the B.C. rockers –– and then two in their hometown before embarking on ZZ Top’s tour through the U.S. “After we finished our set (in Calgary), they didn’t turn on the lights. They let us have an encore,� remembered Mills. “After the show, our manager pulled me into the dressing room. He said we had just blew it. The concert was over six minutes. We had cut into (ZZ Top’s) time and they would have to pay for the overtime. We were supposed to do a U.S. tour with them, but it was cancelled.� The Headpins did two more shows at Vancouver’s Pacific Coliseum, once when Mills was pulled aside again and told the band was breaking up. That was a lifetime ago. Now a mother of two and an accredited taekwondo instructor, Mills has found a quieter life back in Vernon since 1998. She was born and spent her youth here, and later attended high school in Kamloops, where she formed her first band. And more than 30 years later, she can still rock with the best of them. Back with The Headpins, who reformed some years back without leader/guitarist Brian MacLeod, who died in 1992, Mills is about to play a gig with the aptly-named Young’uns, who just celebrated 20 years rockin’ around the Okanagan. The rare local appearance takes place at Sneakers Sports Bar in the Village Green Hotel Saturday night. “This is the first show we’ve done in Vernon since the Funtastic Music Festival some years ago,� said Mills, who met Young’uns’ Tim Reardon and Brad Krauza soon after moving back to Vernon, and performed with the band for almost a year until The Headpins started touring again. “They called me last October and asked if I would like to play at their 20th anniver-

Darby Mills makes heads spin with her powerful voice when she joins The Young’uns at Sneakers Sports Bar in Vernon Saturday. sary show at the OK Corral (in Kelowna),� said Mills, who returned to play with the Young‘uns in December in celebration of her 50th birthday. “I’ve never stopped playing,� she said. “Out of the bands from my era that have tried to re-claim their status, and are trying do it with new music, they find that it is slow going. When I go out to check out a band from the past, unless their new songs are really good, I wanna hear the songs from the days where I remember where I was at the time, and who I was dating. I’m proud of The Headpins. We still deliver that show, and we’re still as hard working as ever.� After the initial break-up in ‘85, Mills was able to retain The Headpins’ record deal as a solo artist, and at 25, she went to record an album in the U.K. with producer Greg Walsh (who launched Tina Turner’s solo career) at the Eel Pie studio owned by The Who’s Pete Townshend. She had six tracks in the can, featuring

what she calls “a potpourri of wonderful musicians,� including bass player Tom Levin (King Crimson) and members of Santana, when the radio payola scam was revealed. Record execs were accused of paying radios stations to play their artists, and Mills was told her A&R guy (basically a talent scout for record labels) had lost his job. “They were lowering the hammer on the record company and I jumped on a plane to the U.S. to confront them. I didn’t know anyone there,� said Mills, who was told by the company that they were retaining a deal, but it was between her and a new 14-yearold artist. “I had to decide what to do. I told them ‘the studio is booked, if you can’t tell me if I’m signed, then I’m off the label.’� Mills ended up losing her record deal to mall queen Tiffany, who got the contract and ended up releasing her hit I Think We’re Alone Now.

Mills returned to Vancouver and formed a new act, The Unsung Heroes, which released the CD Never Look Back featuring singles Cry to Me, Give it All Up, and Hot Water, which could describe Mills’ feelings about the music industry at the time. “We had to put out videos, and MTV called and said the Headpins’ video was doing well. I had to laugh because we had broken up two years before,� said Mills. In the meantime, The Headpins, with MacLeod, had gotten back together without Mills, replacing her with vocalist Chrissy Steele. Mills says she had a seven-year legal battle with The Headpins over rights, but after MacLeod died of cancer, she reunited with Headpins’ drummer Bernie Aubin and they started touring again. “We pulled up to a gig in Alberta that had us billed as The Headpins. I thought the lawyers would be after us, but nothing happened. We immediately went out and bought the name and registered it,� said Mills. “They couldn’t stop us and that’s how The Headpins reformed.� Soon after, founding member Ab Bryant, as well as Alfie Galpin, rejoined the band. “You could never replace Brian, but we have a new member, (Tony Dellacroce) who has been filling those shoes,� added Mills. Now with her quiet life in Vernon occasionally interrupted by gigs around the country, Mills has enjoyed playing alongside some friends from her past, including former metal queen Lee Aaron, as well as the legions of Canadian classic rock bands such as Loverboy, Harlequin, Streetheart, Prism, Helix and Honeymoon Suite who have busy careers playing summer festivals. “It’s wonderful. We’re ever so lucky to still be going and keeping an era alive. We work together often,� said Mills, adding The Headpins just played in Vancouver during the Winter Olympics. “We went on half an hour after the women’s hockey team won the gold and then (figure skater) Joannie Rochette won the bronze. It was crazy.� As for her family, Mills says she receives a lot of support from her husband and kids, now ages 11 and 16. “Not everyone’s mom leaves to play rock,� she said. “My kids are starting to figure out that this is not normal. The teachers at my son’s school got together and did an air-band version of a Headpins’ song... It’s been 30 years of relative incredibleness.� Tickets to see Mills and The Young’uns at Sneakers Saturday are $8 in advance at the bar or at the door. The show starts at 8 p.m., and word is tickets are going fast.

Arts “Where Health & Honey Meet”

Detroit’s D-12 visit motor home city The Okanagan is about to get a taste of freestylin’ from 8 Mile when Motor City rap group The Dirty Dozen (D-12) visits the valley next week. D-12 members Bizarre, Kon Artis, Kuniva and Swift are currently on a national tour, billed as the Return of the Dirty Dozen, which makes a stop at Vernon night spot Moe Joe’s Tuesday. Formed in Detroit in the early-’90s, D-12’s original lineup included a certain Marshall Mathers, better known as Eminem, who still joins the band on occasion to record and tour. The story goes that when the group hadn’t been offered any record deals after years of touring, members decided to go their separate ways, with the first one to become famous promising to come back for the rest of the group. “Em was able to take D-12 to the next

level,” said Kon Artis on D-12’s website, adding that prior to teamingup in front of a mic, both worked at Detroit pizza joint. “He helps to bring stuff out of us. With him, no matter what happens, it’s always been about real friendship.” After Eminem’s success with 1997’s The Slim Shady EP, D-12 reunited to produce its debut album, 2001’s Devil’s Night, featuring break-out singles Purple Pills and Fight Music. The album ended up selling four million copies upon its release. The group went on to release 2004’s D-12 World, and has since toured around the world, while members have also focussed on their individual solo careers. D-12’s Bizarre recently announced the group has recently entered the studio with Eminem, plus fellow Detroit rapper Royce Da 5’9, with a new single expected to be released

in the near future. Opening for D-12 on its date in Vernon is Vancouver-born and Courtenay-raised hip hop artist Terell Safadi, also known as Mistah 604, who has just released his second

mix-tape, Get Money Mind State 2. Vernon’s TassNata, who is releasing his new CD, Between Planets, is also expected to perform along with fellow locals Creative Bloodline, who have

Zone drops few bombs Green Zone: ★★★ 1/2

out of 5

P

aul Greengrass’ Green Zone has two goals: 1) To stick a thumb in the Bush administration’s eye, as if Hollywood hasn’t done enough of that. 2) To serve up an intelligent Baghdad-based action package that doesn’t spin the audience’s head with such detailed fervor, it totally forgets to include the “thrill” in thriller. For the most part, it succeeds on both fronts. Greengrass and star Matt Damon have been through the blood-pumpJason Armstrong ing rounds before with a couple of chapters in the Bourne series, and they seem very content to borrow a few maneuvers from those flicks here. As for goal No. 1, well, let’s just say, I can’t see the former U.S. prez and his mates being too happy with the content of this baby. That said, Green Zone isn’t an overly memorable film. It doesn’t sport the nailbiting tension of The Hurt Locker, nor does it completely blow the doors off in the roughand-tumble department –– not that it was intended to. In short, it gets the job done. You might not cherish a movie like this a decade from now, but for the time being, it serves its purpose, and does it rather effectively. Set in Baghdad in early 2003, shortly after the crumbling of Hussein’s reign but before his capture, Green Zone follows the ups and downs of chief warrant officer Roy Miller (Damon), an American soldier tasked with finding the country’s stockpile of weapons of mass destruction –– a stash that, you will

recall, served as the purpose for America’s invasion of Iraq. But when every supposed weapons site that Miller’s camp visits turns out to be clean (their initial destination turns out to be a dangerous stop, as a sniper opens fire on his men), he begins to question the army’s sources for intelligence are faulty –– a suspicion that doesn’t exactly earn him brownie points with the military suits, especially Pentagon official Clark Poundstone (Greg Kinnear). As Miller’s quest for the truth intensifies, so does the struggle with his own side. Soon, the special forces begin bullying him, and what began as a disillusioned approach quickly evolves into a fight for survival.

Damon delivers Continued from page B4

Damon is, once again, very solid. (Short of Clooney, is there a more dependable leading guy on the scene right now?) And Greengrass delivers another beauty as well. Granted, in his usual desire to present the material with a realistic documentary-style look, your stomach might churn a wee bit from Greengrass’s shaky camera tricks, but, as always, the approach creates the sense of urgency Green Zone requires. Again, it’s not the kind of epic that will nestle in your mind as required viewing in a few years, but for now, it’s quite the rush. The feature is currently playing at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

However, the band is definitely consistent in style and image, and the songs on Soldier have all the hallmarks of the smooth condo-soul sound heard on the band’s ‘80s smash debut, Diamond Life, or Stronger Than Pride, or any other of their recordings. Dean Gordon-Smith Soldier of Love is interesting in a Dorian Gray, insectin-amber fashion, but is focused on the formulaic Sade style. Detached mystery is the rule of the day, with a nod to the world-weary for good measure. There’s an obvious lack of creative growth, and unless you have a sweet tooth for dinner music or wine and cheese background sound, then Sade and co. have hit another multi-million seller dead end.

As Will Ferrell’s Mugatu (from the 2001 film Zoolander) once sagely observed: “Is everyone taking crazy pills?” Ho hum, there’s plenty of time for number seven in 2020.

Bearing witness in Palestine BARBARA HARRIS

Special to The Morning Star

Clipping an angel’s wings: “She is the vision of innocence, peering up into the dull eyes of a soldier towering over her. She can only be four or five years old. Black slacks with a green striped short skirt fanning out beneath her short black jacket suggest she is a kindergarten student. “She strains to hand the backpack, which is half her length, up to the soldier who orders her to stop. He systematically opens every zipper and plunges his hands into each pocket before handing the backpack back. It slumps to the ground. “The little girl carefully closes the zippers and with considerable effort slings the backpack onto her back, already forgotten by the young soldier who has moved on to the next search. The tiny tot stumbles as she hurries to catch up with her friends. This is a significant part of her education under the Israeli occupying power to clip her fragile wings.” The passage above was written by Johann Funk in December 2009, during his fourth trip to Palestine. He was on an eight-week assignment to Al-Kahlil (Hebron) with Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT), a group that strives to foster peace in areas severely impacted by conflict and violence. Their goal is to go wherever there is conflict, and to observe and record whatever happens. The hope is that the presence of outsiders will minimize or stop the incident, and will prevent further violence. Distressed by the treatment of the little girl, Funk felt helpless, angry and sad all at once. “What can I do? I observe, I document, I report but it is not enough, it is never enough to significantly change the severity of the occupation, let alone to end it,” he said. “I rationalize that what I do is part of a larger struggle but this answer is never completely satisfying. My angel at Qitoun Checkpoint is still dehumanized as an enemy, invisible to international geopolitics despite my feeble efforts. All I can do is reflect, pray and contemplate the suffering God must experience when he sees what is done in his name.” When questioned, Funk explains that Qitoun Checkpoint is one of the “gates” that restrict access to the Old City of Hebron, currently under total Israeli control. The area past the gate has been reserved for Israeli settlers only; but a school for Palestinian boys and girls had already been established there before the Israeli occupation in 1967. Palestinians receive access only after a security check (metal detectors and ID and body searches) when they cross this zone on the way to school, the Ibrahimi Mosque or the market in the Old City, places they must visit regularly. Funk and other CPT volunteers have seen Palestinian adults and children being attacked and beaten, have seen Palestinian homes damaged or destroyed, and have themselves been assaulted when they were trying to stop the violence. “On the morning of Thursday, 7 January, 2010, Israeli soldiers attacked and injured Palestinian shepherds, as they grazed their sheep in Humra valley,” Funk wrote in a report. “Soldiers hit the shepherds with their rifle butts, pushed them, and kicked them while other soldiers held them to the ground. Other members of the family came to the area, and the women tried to intervene, hoping to de-escalate the situation. However, the soldiers also forcefully pushed the women to the ground. CPTers trying to videotape the violent attack were roughly pushed and a soldier grabbed and

Johann Funk will speak about his work at a presentation March 28. broke one of their video cameras.” The United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 242 Nov. 22, 1967, stating that Israel is required by international law to withdraw from all the territories occupied several months before. The resolution further stated that every country must have the right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force. Come and hear an eye-witness account of how this resolution has been ignored. On March 28, Funk will be speaking about what he has seen and learned in the past two months, as well as during the three previous visits, to Palestine. He is being sponsored by KAIROS, a partnership of Canadian churches and religious communities which works on social justice issues. Funk’s presentation takes place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at All Saints Anglican Church, 3205-27th St., with moderator Chris Harwood-Jones. and featuring videos and displays.

Men being helpful to women with cancer. Does this sound like a fish out of water? “Hopefully not, but what are the challenges that male partners of women with cancer face as they try to be helpful,” said Lloyd Mitchell, with the Vernon Prostate Cancer Support and

Awareness Group. Two psychologists at the Odette Cancer Centre in Toronto researched the topic and developed a DVD involving two actors who discuss their experiences as caregivers. “The performance is thought-provoking and brings to the surface significant relationship

issues,” said Mitchell. “It speaks to men directly, providing pointers for being supportive. And it helps women to better understand the men in their lives. “The performance serves as a catalyst in helping men and women to look at their relationships when they serve in the opposite

roles when men have prostate cancer.” All cancer survivors and caregivers are invited to join the Vernon Prostate Cancer Support and Awareness Group Monday at 7:30 p.m. at the People Place, 350227th Ave. Refreshments will be served.

ear Annie: I am 28 years old and have lived with the same man for 10 years. We have two beautiful daughters, ages 8 and 4. Last May, “Rob” and I decided to take an extended vacation. We bought an RV and spent the summer traveling and visiting family. While I really enjoyed the sights, some aspects of our trip were truly horrid. I frequently had to act as referee between Rob and the kids. Our older daughter had a bad attitude throughout the trip, and Rob took it personally. What’s more, we rarely made love, and several times we fought. We’re back home now, but have yet to return to any semblance of normalcy. Rob took a temporary job in another state. At first, I was supportive, but he has begun to stay away longer and longer. At the moment, he’s home for a day or two every two weeks.

Striving for inner peace Morning Star Staff

Judy Guido wants to help people to learn to trust their intuition, find balance and use their potential to find enjoyment in all aspects of life. The president of the Inner Peace Movement of Canada (IPM) presents orientation lectures in Vernon next week. “We all have impressions, gut feelings, hunches and premonitions. When we trust this intuition, we can find ourselves in the right place at the right time,” said Guido. “By nature we are all intuitive. How many times have you wished you had followed your instincts? I knew that was going to happen, we say, but by then it’s too late.” Participants will learn about the four

avenues of spiritual perception, the reality of inner guidance, life purpose and the sevenyear cycles of life. The IPM is an educational, not-for-profit organization that helps people recognize their true worth and move forward in a positive, constructive way with loved ones, community

and from within. The 90-minute orientation lectures take place Tuesday at 1 p.m. or 7 p.m. at the Best Western Vernon Lodge. Tickets are $15 per person, at the door. For more information, visit www.innerpeacemovementptyltd. com or call 1-877-9690095.

News

B.C. setting aside funds for domestic violence risk TOM FLETCHER Black Press

The B.C. government is spending $250,000 to help police, prosecutors and child protection workers identify people at high risk for family violence. Public Safety Minister Kash Heed announced the program Tuesday, in response to recommendations from a coroner’s jury examining the circumstances around a horrific murder-suicide that rocked the upscale Victoria suburb of Oak Bay in 2007. In the early morning hours of Sept. 4, 2007, Peter Lee forced his way into his family home and stabbed his estranged wife, her parents and their six-yearold son to death before killing himself. Lee was on bail at the time on a charge of crashing his vehicle in an attempt to injure his wife, and was under a court order to stay away from his family. A domestic violence unit for the Victoria region is to be operating by June, similar to units in Vancouver and New Westminster, with police, victim services and child protection workers together. Lee and his family came in contact with several of the region’s array of small police forces and victim services before the murders. The training is to be delivered in threeday courses held in November and December, involving prosecutors, senior police officers and child protection staff from across B.C. It is in addition to a mandatory web-based course being taken by police officers, to standardize risk assessment based on factors such as previous violence, other criminal involvement, alcohol or drug abuse and financial problems. Heed said more will also be done to raise public awareness of domestic violence, the second largest category of criminal charges in B.C. behind impaired driving. Course material for public schools has been updated, and the

government will also reach out to immigrant communities, he said. “Even from my back-

ground from the IndoCanadian community and several other visible minority communities,

you hold it inside of you, thinking it’s going to be shameful for you to bring this out and be

publicly exposed,” Heed said. B.C. also operates a website resource for

victims and witnesses of crime at www.victimsinfo.ca, and a toll-free telephone assistance

line called VictimLINK at 1-800-563-0808 with service available in 130 languages.

News Chief urges safeguards for water supply JUDIE STEEVES Black Press

Indigenous people view the issues around water through a different lens, Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, chairman of the Okanagan Nation Alliance, told those attending a workshop on the modernization of the province’s century-old Water Act. “Water is sacred to all indigenous people,” he said. He cautioned that the timeline for renovating the old legislation is very short, considering the amount of consultation that should go into it. The provincial government plans to have draft legislation prepared by this fall, and the deadline for public submissions on it is Apr. 30. However, he said, it has caught the attention of First Nations governments around the province. “When the Water Act first came forward a hundred years ago, First Nations were not consulted,” he noted. Indigenous science, traditional and ecological knowledge, must be considered, he said. “We’re all here today and we’re friends and neighbours. “We must safeguard the supply of water so it is sustainable for future generations,” he said. He warned it’s not going to be easy to reach consensus on a new act, but it’s important, he said, that “we do our utmost for the sake of our children and our grandchildren.” Phillip was one of about 150 people from this region attending the workshop discussing priority principles which should form the basis for new legislation. They included valley mayors and politicians, foresters, scientists, farmers, business people, First Nations, environmentalists, anglers and water purveyors. They were welcomed by Fawn DeGuevara of the Westbank First Nation, who sung to the beat of a drum and then offered up a prayer in her native tongue. John Slater, parliamentary secretary for water supply and allocation, termed it a “call to

action for water in B.C. Water is the most limiting factor for growth.” Management of water is essential, whether there is plenty of it in a watershed, or whether there’s a marginal supply of it, he said. Right now, he noted eight ministries have some control of water in B.C., which creates some confusion at times. What the final document is completed, he said it must be one that reflects what the people

of B.C. want. Glen Davidson, director of management and standards for the water stewardship division of the environment ministry, said the four goals in modernizing the legislation are to protect stream health, improve governance, introduce more flexibility and efficiency in water allocation and regulate groundwater extraction and use. They are part of a discussion paper on the Water Act moderniza-

tion, which is available on the website at: www. livingwatersmart.ca/ water-act/ There’s also a blog on that website where anyone can post their comments and read those posted by others. It’s interactive and includes explanations or information posted by ministry staff as well. It’s the first time the Internet has been used in that way to encourage public participation on legislative changes.

Outstanding and compassionate care different

News New fathers who smoke have a tough choice to make, study Black Press

A UBC study suggests masculine stereotypes can influence habits of new fathers who continue to smoke. “The findings revealed the uncomfortable dilemma new dads experience in relation to smoking and their role as providers and protectors for their families...� said John Oliffe, associate professor in the School of Nursing at UBC’s Vancouver campus. The study examined the relationship between being a new dad who smokes and the

places fathers continue to light up. “Men’s health practices have been closely linked to their male identities, especially tobacco use,� said Joan Bottorff, director for the Institute for Healthy Living and Chronic Disease Prevention at UBC Okanagan. “For instance, in the past, the image of the Marlboro Man appealed to men because it represented freedom, confidence, independence and strength.� Twenty new fathers from B.C.’s Lower Mainland participated in the study and con-

tributed a total of 308 photographs to illustrate smoking through their own eyes. Three places fathers found they could comfortably smoke are on the job, at home and in private spaces. Many of the men’s photographs showed male-oriented workplaces, such as construction and trades industries. Smoking on the job was seen as a way to reduce stress, kill time and reward success. Smoking was often thought to be less of a risk than the everyday dangers in their jobs.

At home, many participants believed they were practicing responsible smoking by separating themselves from family to smoke. A national survey shows 29 per cent of men smoke during their child-rearing years, 15 per cent of households have at least one person who smokes inside and almost 10 per cent of children under the age of 12 are regularly exposed to second-hand smoke. “The challenge for us is to find effective ways to assist expectant and new fathers to reduce or quit smoking,� said Bottorff.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) There could be far more possibilities for success than usual, but not necessarily from your efforts alone. Many may be from contributors who are prepared to back up what you start. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Lady Luck isn’t likely to give much credence to negative opinions, and that should be all the reason you need not to give any credence to naysayers. Plan on being a winner. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Companions or associates might find challenging developments distasteful, but not you. You’ll sense that the more chances you get to overcome negativity, the luckier you’ll become. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Share your time only with companions who are optimistic about life and refuse to think in terms of limitation. These types will serve to inspire you to utilize your full potential. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23) It behooves you to be of service to others. You’ll quickly discover that when you give of yourself, you’ll end up gaining more in return than do those you help. SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 22) You’ll have the ability to make all with whom you’re involved feel important and be able to lift their spirits to new heights. In the process, it’ll soar your own popularity to an all time high.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23-DEC. 21) If you have a gut feeling that you’re simply lucky, believe it. The aspects indicate that Lady Luck wants to make you one of her biggest recipients of her workings. CAPRICORN DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Even if you think you should be focusing on your more serious inclinations, follow your instincts about doing something lighthearted. Relaxing your mind can bring great happiness to you. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 19) You’re in a special -- albeit momentary -- cycle where you could be luckier than usual in your material affairs. These particular aspects could bring many good things that can be expanded upon in time.

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.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder If declarer could have a look at each defender’s hand, he would make most contracts. And sometimes, if he maneuvers to best advantage, he will play as if he could see around corners. This deal contains an essence of that. You are in three no-trump. West leads the heart two. After you capture East’s jack with your king, how would you continue? The auction was straightforward, your rebid showing a balanced 12-14 points. You have seven top tricks: three spades, one heart (at trick one), one diamond and two clubs. Both minors offer possibilities for extra winners. Since you would prefer to keep East off lead

(otherwise, he will push a heart through your queen), no doubt you saw that you should not start with the diamond finesse. Instead, perhaps you played a club to dummy’s king and a club to your jack, finessing into the safe hand. If the finesse had worked, that would have been fine. But when West won with his queen, if he finds a diamond shift, you have a nasty guess. Do you take that finesse, or do you win with dummy’s ace and play for spades to be 3-3? Yes, the a priori odds favor the diamond finesse, but wouldn’t it be nice not to have to guess? Before attacking clubs, play three rounds of spades. When they prove to be 3-3, cash the last spade, then continue with

Plumbing & Heating the club king and the club finesse, making your contract with four spades, one heart, one diamond and three clubs. But if the spades are 4-2, you know that you need the diamond finesse. It is a textbook discovery play.

The family of Melvin Edward Grottenberg sadly announces the passing of this dear and gentle man, with his family by his side, in Vernon BC on March 14, 2010 in his 98th year. He was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He married Mae Emes, whom he proudly called “the love of his lifeâ€?. During the war years they made Ottawa their home and later settled in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Mel spent many years in the Canada Postal Service, retiring in 1972. He and Mae began their retirement life by building a beautiful cottage on Lake Superior. The camp became a second home to family and friends. They loved to “trailerizeâ€? and for many years made Texas their winter getaway. In 2004, to be closer to family, Mel and Mae made Vernon BC their home. Mel was never idle. He was an avid carpenter and he loved gardening but nothing made him happier than playing cards and shooting pool with his family. His warm personality and great sense of humour always made family get togethers very special. Mel was predeceased by his wife of 66 years; and his siblings Harold, Wilbert, Florence, John and Elsie. He will be lovingly remembered by his sister Florence (Calgary), and children Bert (Darlene) Grottenberg in Vernon BC; Ila (Perry) Dagsvik of Red Deer Alta; and Marilyn (Paddy) Arthur of Chilliwack BC. His grandchildren Perry and Erik Dagsvik; Curtis, Peter and Kerri Mae Grottenberg; and Devin Arthur will be forever inspired by the strength of character of their grandpa. His great grandchildren Erika, Nikolas, Brittany, Jessica and Krista Dagsvik will cherish his memory fondly. The family wishes to express the deepest appreciation to Dr. Gavin Smart for his years of loving care, the staff of Canterbury Court, Westridge Care Home, and 3 East at VJH, and the extraordinary caregivers of the North Okanagan Hospice Society. Thank you so much for making Mel’s years in Vernon so special. A private memorial celebration will be held at a later date. In lieu of Ă€owers, donations may be made to the North Okanagan Hospice Society, 3506 – 27th Avenue, Vernon, B.C., V1T 1S4. Melvin was a gentle man who cherished his family and was deeply loved by many. Melvin’s beautiful spirit will be remembered and celebrated forever.

In Memoriam In Memory Of

(Enair) It has now been one long year that you were taken from us. We know that you are now in a better place, And no longer suffering, for this we are thankful. Not a moment goes by, That you are not remembered, By your family and friends. These memories are cherished by many. You reached out and touched so many people, With your kindness, your cheerfulness, and your love. You were always there for all of those around you, And now, deeply missed by many. To know you, was too Love you. You will always be in our hearts. Always, Terry, Lisa, Jamie, Dylan, Brandon, & (max). We Love and Miss You. So Much!

In Loving Memory Of

Linda Joan Manning (Cunning) Its been one year since you’ve been gone But in our hearts you still live on The moment that you died Our hearts split in two The one side ďŹ lled with memories The other died with you We often lie awake at night When the world is fast asleep And take a walk down memory lane With tears upon our cheeks Remembering you is easy We do it every day But missing you is a heartache That never goes away Our family chain is broken and nothing is the same We mention your name And speak of you often We hold you tightly within our hearts And there you will remain Life has gone on without you But it never will be the same Though absent, you are ever near Still missed, loved, and always dear

With love, Mom, Dad, Howard, David, Rob & All The Family
