Judge to render verdict in Ashton trial ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Deborah Louise Ashton finds out her fate this morning. Ashton, 47, the former Vernon teacher and vice-principal facing five counts in connection with an alleged sexual relationship with a former student between 2002 and 2004, will hear Judge Alison Beames’ decision at 10 a.m. in Vernon Supreme Court. A jury in Ashton’s first trial could not reach a verdict on three counts over two days of deliberation in February 2011. Beames told court Tuesday, after proceedings wrapped up at 3 p.m., she would take the evening to reach a verdict and deliver it this morning. The final day of the 11-day trial, held over
the course of three-plus weeks, saw lawyers “This was a young boy who probably had for both sides give their closing submis- a crush on her, as did some of the other boys sions. we’ve heard testimony from,” said La Liberte.

While acknowledging that the alleged victim did have problems with memory recall of certain events, Crown counsel Neil Flanagan said the focus of the trial is the “sexual things that began to occur between Ashton and the alleged victim in the spring of the student’s Grade 7 year.”

News Komasket takes a break this summer KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
The popular Komasket Music Festival will not be held this year due to a personal loss sustained by its artistic directors. Festival co-founders Devaki and Thomas Thomas, who are now based in London, U.K., said the decision to postpone the 11th annual festival came after much soul searching. “As many of you know in December 2011 we experienced the tragic loss of our brother and fellow musician (Kunja Chatterton), which has deeply impacted our lives and requires time to heal and rejuvenate,� said Devaki. The Vernon festival has traditionally been held in Komasket Park on the Okanagan Indian Reserve, on the west side of Okanagan Lake, every August long weekend the past 10 years. “The last 10 years of presenting the Komasket Music Festival have been the most rewarding and

This year’s event has been cancelled. challenging experience of our lives and we offer deep gratitude to all the musicians, volunteers, vendors, supporters, sponsors and audiences who helped make this beautiful community gathering possible,� said Devaki.
While the Thomas’ and the KMF board of directors say the festival has been a successful venture on many levels, they are hoping this year off will give them needed time to plan and structure the continuing of the KMF to see a bright and
long future with greater financial stability and sustainability. Although the festival has not had any specific financial challenges, the cuts to arts funding in B.C. has had an effect on many festivals and especially the smaller
ones, said Devaki. “We do not earn revenue from alcohol sales so grants and sponsorships are very needed,� she said. The Komasket board is setting its sights on returning the August long weekend in 2013. In the meantime, the festival is planning more fundraising dances to he held in Vernon throughout the year. “We know that, like us, many of you have come to look forward to the KMF as the highlight of your year and a chance to reconnect with family and friends and we will all deeply feel its absence this summer,� said Devaki. “We hope you keep a warm place in your hearts for the KMF and keep the spirit of unity and magic alive until we meet again in 2013 refreshed, recharged and rejuvenated and ready to keep the KMF fire burning brighter than ever.� Those who bought passes for the 2012 festival can contact the Ticket Seller at 250-549-7469 for a full refund.

Testimony a ‘wicked, ruinous lie’ Continued from A1 An alleged physical relationship developed after Ashton started taking the boy and his friends out for food, to movies or for shopping. Flanagan suggested that holding hands at a theatre between the pair led to a “tearful admission that Ashton was falling for the student,” and that led to kissing, to sexual touching, to oral sex and to intercourse. It was the alleged victim’s evidence about a conversation between him and Ashton at a metal box on the school grounds where Ashton is alleged to have tearfully told the boy, “I
have feelings for you, I’m falling for you, I know it’s wrong but I can’t help it.” And it was after that conversation that the pair went to a lookout and kissed for the first time, said the alleged victim, who was on the stand for three days of the trial. “His evidence of what occurs at that metal box has a clear ring of truth,” said Flanagan to Beames. “It’s how the evidence strikes you that matters, and through the course of a long trial, you hear evidence that’s tedious and you hear evidence where instantly you know it’s true. You’re
certain of that.” Flanagan scoffed at La Liberte’s assertion that the alleged victim was simply “saving face” with his changing testimony about event details over the course of the trial, and that a majority of his evidence had a “clear ring of truth.” “Does a faulty memory, or inconsistencies, suggest a carelessness with the truth?” asked Flanagan. “In this case it clearly does not.
“My friend is suggesting that this young man is telling a wicked, monstrous, ruinous lie.” Flanagan offered up two theories as to why a relationship started between the alleged victim and the accused. “Deborah Ashton thought she was in love with the alleged victim and professed that to him at the metal box, against her better judgment,” said Flanagan. “And, under the
cover of friendship with the boy’s family, she entered into a relationship with him for her own sexual purposes.” Flanagan said it was significant to note that the boy and his friends all described Ashton on the stand as “a friend,” and, for some, Ashton was the “first girl they had spent any time with.” For the verdict, please visit www.vernonmorningstar.com

A Vernon RCMP officer suffered minor injuries after being hit by a door while pursuing a suspect. The officer was doing routine patrols at about 1 a.m. Sunday when he noticed a group of men outside a building in the 3300 block of 35th Avenue. “When the males saw the police, they began to walk away in different directions,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. One of the men began to walk north in the middle of the road on 34th Street, and police noticed he was talking to himself and “acting irrational.” “Our officers pulled next to him and asked him to come to the vehicle,” said Molendyk. “The subject did not answer but ran away from the police vehicle.” The suspect ran to the upstairs of a residence in the 3300 block of 35th Avenue, and when an officer approached him, he slammed an outside door into the officer. The 31-year-old suspect, was arrested for assault. He was slated to appear in court Monday. The officer suffered minor injuries to his arm.
Fishermen rescued JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Two fishermen managed to reel themselves into a chilly situation Saturday. A pair of Vernon men were in a small fishing boat on Okanagan Lake when they became trapped in the ice near Newport Beach, off Westside Road. Vernon Search and Rescue was called out to assist the fishermen at approximately 7 p.m. Saturday. “It was very unusual,” said Leigh Pearson, search manager, who has never attended such a call of ice entrapment. Sitting about half-a-kilometre from shore, the fishermen could not escape the ice, which moved in and trapped them in the late afternoon. “There was probably 50 or 60 feet of water surrounding the ice,” said Pearson. The 24- and 18-year-old fishermen were assisted by two people in a canoe until the 25 search and rescue members arrived on scene. Then, dressed in cold-water protective gear, two members walked out on the ice and retrieved the fishermen and brought them to shore by 9 p.m. Aside from being a little chilly, the fishermen were OK and were not hypothermic.

Coldstream still taking flack for building bylaw JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Despite being scaled back, controversy continues to swarm a bylaw affecting Coldstream homeowners wanting to renovate. District politicians adopted changes to the
subdivision and development servicing bylaw Monday night. The new bylaw restricts the potential for Coldstream to require off-site works on homes seeking a building permit – something the district
was previously blasted for. “Council listened and council did agree with (resident concerns),” said Maria Besso, acting mayor. “So we have been working on it...to come up with something that is more

fair. This is an improvement on the (previous) bylaw.” The new bylaw identifies a list of 15 roads where homes in those areas could be on the hook for up to $2,500 in drainage improvements. Projects valued at less than $50,000 are exempt and the project would have to have an impact on the need for drainage improvements. While it is seen as an improvement, some residents still maintain that is not fair practice. “You have no authority to inflict tax on any resident simply because they apply for a building permit,” said Kidston Road resident David Paterson, calling the bylaw unlawful. Local resident and owner of Keith Construction, Ken Dahlen, agrees and asks: “What’s next?”
“This is an improvement on the bylaw.” — Maria Besso Such decisions are frustrating homeowners and contractors, said Dahlen who claims to have lost $1 million in contracts in the past year at permit issuance, not just in Coldstream, but Vernon and the Regional District of North Okanagan. He suggests that instead of putting drainage issues on the backs of 15 roads, council needs to budget for the infrastructure improvements. Using the last year’s building permit figures, Paterson points out that to continue in the direction council has taken it could
take 80 years to fix the community’s drainage problems. The roads and necessary upgrades identified in Coldstream’s new bylaw are: ■ Buchanan Road ditch realignment/culverting ■ Cottonwood Lane - infiltration chambers ■ Fairmont Place - ditching north side/ infiltration chambers ■ Howe Drive (north of Kalamalka Road) - ditching/infiltration chambers ■ Kalavista Drive infiltration chambers ■ Ponderosa Way - ditching/infiltration chambers
■ Rendell Drive infiltration chambers ■ Rockland Drive ditching on north side/ catch basin at curb/ infiltration chambers ■ Scenic Drive catch basins/infiltration chambers on north side ■ Springfield Road (9900 block) - infiltration chambers ■ Tebo Drive - infiltration chambers ■ Torrent Drive infiltration chambers ■ Upland Drive culverting/storm sewer ■ Westkal Road infiltration chambers/ drainage easements ■ Kidston Road ditching/culverting Notices will be going out to the affected homeowners to alert them of the changes. District staff is also bringing back a policy to clearly lay out the applications of the bylaw.
More details sought on meters RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
There was considerable static among Vernon politicians
Monday as they debated smart meters. Coun. Bob Spiers wanted the city to urge B.C. Hydro to allow households to opt out of the installation of remote monitoring devices but most of his colleagues want to hear from the corporation first. “We as a council need to educate ourselves and to do that, we need to hear from the other side,” said Coun. Brian Quiring referring to a March 12 delegation from Citizens for Safe Technology which called for smart meters to be banned in Vernon. A presentation from Hydro was also supported by Coun. Patrick Nicol. “I’m hopeful that some change may take place (in company policy) if we follow through
“We need to educate ourselves.” — Brian Quiring the process,” he said. “We need to keep the dialogue open with the people you want change from.” While some members from Citizens for Safe Technology wanted a council decision Monday, Nicol told them that the city must follow a balanced approach. “We just don’t listen to one side, jump in and go for it,” he said. Spiers says council could have still met with Hydro to discuss a possible ban but council was within its rights to ask for an opt-out clause for metres.
“Our citizens should have a right to refuse these things,” he said of concerns the remote devices could possibly create health concerns and invade privacy. “We don’t have to accept cell phones. I can throw microwaves out. It’s a matter of choice.” Spiers was backed by Coun. Juliette Cunningham. “We were asked by our citizens to deal with it,” she said of the issue. Besides B.C. Hydro, council has asked for a presentation from the medical health officer on the possible impact of smart meters.

A Vernon man is one of three people arrested in connection with an alleged assault in downtown Kelowna Sunday morning. An Ontario man is in critical condition following the incident on Queensway Avenue in front of O’Flannigan’s Pub. Just before 2 a.m., a Kelowna RCMP member came upon an attack where police say at least three men were seen beating another man who appeared to be unconscious. “The men fled the scene but two were apprehended shortly thereafter,” said Kelowna RCMP Const. Kris Clark. The third man was arrested Monday. The 34-year-old Ontario man suffered massive head injuries and was rushed to hospital where he remains in stable but critical condition. Police say the alleged incident was a possibly unprovoked attack. Rick Dennis, 26, of Vernon, and Daniel Orge, 27, of West Kelowna, have been charged with aggravated assault. They and a 25-year old Kelowna man were scheduled to appear in court Tuesday. Police will also be recommending charges of failing to comply with probation against the Vernon man.

Mob rule doesn’t work
L
iving in a democracy means you can speak freely and openly question elected officials. But it doesn’t give you the right to be rude. That was the case, though, when a majority of Vernon council decided Monday it needs to hear B.C. Hydro’s position before contemplating a ban on smart meters or asking the utility to allow residents to refuse the installation of the devices in their homes. Members of Citizens for Safe Technology, which requested a prohibition on meters March 12, weren’t satisfied and they made that fact known. They booed every time a councillor indicated the need to gather all of the relevant details. One person attempted to enter into a backand-forth debate with Richard Rolke council but when it was pointed out that she had not applied to be a formal delegation and was out of order, she stormed out of the room. The remaining 30 or so people in the gallery continued to thumb their noses at calls for decorum and that had the normally unflappable Mayor Rob Sawatzky flapping. “Noise and heat does not make it true,” he fired back as the scene remained unruly. Finally, once council had voted to defer all action until presentations from Hydro and the medical health officer, the crowd left — but not quietly. There were suggestions that city hall is undemocratic and residents are being ignored. The very act of simply leaving city hall and huddling around the front door has now been described by some of them as a protest. Perhaps what is most troubling about Monday’s situation is how a group of individu-

als felt it necessary to try and intimidate council, especially when B.C. Hydro’s critics have accused the corporation of intimidation over the installation of monitoring devices. They cling to democratic principles in an attempt to express their concerns, which is admirable and obviously their right. But when it comes to those on the other side of the fence being treated in a similar fashion, they are shut down with boisterous catcalls (can you imagine if council had only heard from Hydro but refused to accept a delegation from the members of Citizens for Safe Technology?). In terms of having reasonable faith in the democratic system, citizens should hope elected officials are well informed so a thoughtful decision can be made. But for that to actually occur, the provision of information can’t be one-sided. “We’re just trying to make thoughtful public policy and that’s what they should ask from us,” said Sawatzky, in an interview after the meeting. It should be pointed out that no Vernon council members have spoken out in favour of smart meters. In fact, the case against the devices may become even more clear once the politicians have heard from all sides. The bottom line, though, is there are procedures to how meetings are held, whether it’s a Girl Guide unit, a church committee or, one would expect, the Citizens for Safe Technology. The City of Vernon has very clear policies on how meetings operate, including who can speak and the behaviour expected of those observing proceedings. Without them, there would be absolute chaos and nothing would get done. It is a place of business — the people’s business — and it should be treated as such. Council will ultimately have to take a stand on smart meters, but it will be interesting to see if the antics of a few unruly residents colour that decision.
The alarm has been raised that the federal government is about to turn the clock back on fisheries protection by about 35 years. According to documents released by retired fisheries biologist Otto Langer, the government plans to strip habitat protection for fish in section 35 of the Fisheries Act, effectively making creek protection a thing of the past. Documents produced by Langer indicate the government plans to remove a ban against activity that results in the “harmful alteration, disruption or disruption or destruction of fish habitat” and replacing it with a ban on activity that has an “adverse effect on a fish of economic, cultural or ecological value.” While on the surface, it looks like the changes would protect fish, it’s not clear how, when fish rely on a healthy environment, ecosystem or habitat to thrive. If it can’t be proven that a species of fish has special value, then can the habitat – creek, river or stream – be legally destroyed? Many have heard stories of property owners who were prevented from subdividing because there’s a ditch in the way that sometimes has fish in it. And there are times when it’s hard to understand the “economic” or “environmental” value of a creek or stream but lack of knowledge or understanding about how our watersheds work is the reason most of them were paved over, culverted or diverted in the 1960s and 1970s, leaving us low fish returns today. Ignoring for a moment the secretive way the government appears to be moving on this matter, the idea that fish, and the rest of the planet, can be altered unless an economic argument can be made to save it, is short-sighted at best. At worst, it ignores the web of life that even the youngest preschooler understands when they marvel at the abundant life in the tiny creek flowing in their neighbourhood. — Abbotsford News

Think of the environment
R
egarding a recent article in The Morning Star by Richard Rolke: “Council agreed Monday to provide tax exemption to encourage revitalization projects in the city centre district and Lakeshore Road waterfront area.” First of all, I agree that providing tax exemptions to developers is a good way to stimulate development. The concern I have is about the way that this stimulus is going to be implemented. In my opinion, this should be available to any development project that incorporates eco-friendly aspects which benefit the whole community over the long term. It appears that the current exemption is based on shortterm thinking. As a citizen of the beautiful Vernon area, I would love to see council consider the long-term horizon and how we can improve our well-being while encouraging new development at the same time. How can this be achieved? One way is by extending the tax exemption to any project that: Improves air quality; Reduce the urban heat island effect; Improves stormwater management;
MANY QUESTIONS All staff be it regional district, city or Coldstream, are paid by tax dollars. All are on wage scales — the better the expertise, the better the wage. Mayors, councillors and directors, are elected so they rely on staff to give them correct information, which is their job. We need answers, as to: Who decided not to repair the dehumidifier (at the recreation complex) because of the expense and just shut it off? What were they thinking? Who decided the dehumidifier not be replaced at that time. Would it have not been more cost effective then, as opposed to now with all of the added problems with heat lines, wall, roof, and whatever else they may find? Ordinary people with just common sense know that steam in a shower, without being vented, will give problems. After more than 14 years of deterioration, the building is finally discovered to have damage. Big surprise. So just exactly where did the buck stop? The scary thing is the new proposed art gallery, will need a very expensive climate control unit (which will be needed). Who will run this department? If it has a slight or major problem, will it then be shut off and left to
Diverts waste from our landfills; Adds more amenity spaces; Increases energy efficiency. Developers should consider installing a green roof on both new and retrofit projects. This could include storm water and grey water collection for irrigation and could even include independent water treatment systems. Solar panels, designs that maximize the use of natural light for heating and using recycling materials during construction are also well established ways to building green. The standards for such projects could be based on what already exists in other municipalities, so there's no need to reinvent the wheel. By stimulating the local economy without thinking seriously about long-term environmental impacts, new development projects may have negative consequences on our quality of life down the road. It is imperative to consider the environment now – not 10 years from now – by integrating sustainability into our tax incentive programs. Andy Matysiak
deteriorate? Until all of these questions are answered, I can not and will not support the art gallery or the museum, for fear it will happen again. Rose Pollock SMART METERS The City of Enderby council recently struck a committee to look into the negative effect of smart meters on the health of the environment and of the human population which lives in jurisdictions subjected to this technology. Enderby well might join the growing number of B.C. communities (33 last count) who have chosen to ban smart meters from within their municipal boundaries. The total effect of wireless technology is unknown. If there is even the slightest risk to the human race, and the addition of say smart meters, which aren't necessary, might exacerbate the problem, what possible benefit, other than the greed factor, could governments derive from bullying their constituents into accepting them? There is a growing mountain of evidence that wireless technology which includes all microwave appliances and applications, cell phones and their transmission towers, cordless phones and other devices, wi-fi in schools, libraries, hospitals and hospitality loca-
tions, is contributing to a serious increase in health problems within the general population. More and more individuals, including large numbers of children, are being diagnosed as electrohypersensitive. A large and increasing number of school boards and educational institutions around the world are removing wi-fi from their facilities. Why? Because everything has an electromagnetic field, but not all things resonate at the same frequency. This creates an opportunity in the environment for what is known as EMI, or electromagnetic interference which may cause malfunction in appliances and grids and initiate critical health issues in living organisms, which means you and I, our children and parents, friends and loved ones, and even our enemies. In regard to invasion of privacy, B.C. Hydro, will know what appliance you are using and for how long. Also, consumers in jurisdictions where smart meters are already in use have found that their consumption billing has doubled, and in some cases, tripled, not decreased as they had been told it would. Smart meters are easy to hack into which creates a new problem,

deduce that Coldstream taxpayers are being asked to foot the bill not so much for increased costs or reduced revenues. Hopefully other Coldstream residents do the math and make their views known to council. Michael Tindall
DO THE MATH So, there's a deficit in Coldstream of $284,000 due to decreased revenues and increased expenses. The district is floating a 6.59 per cent tax hike to remedy the situation. But wait a minute, light industrial development on the old glass plant site would increase tax revenues nicely yet the district leaves it empty. As for expenses, let's remember the district "oversight" regarding HST on the grid road ($151,310 deficit), the "shortfall" regarding Park Lane paving ($39,096 deficit), the "unexpected challenges" on Kidston Road ($37,739 deficit), the "additional asphalt shortfall" on Kalamalka Road ($14,173), and the "unexpected flagging charges" for the Kalamalka Road beach ramp ($10,316). Add them up and these oversights account for $252,634, or 89 per cent of the projected deficit. A thinking person might

Armstrong author’s latest book is nominated for awards KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Writer Mary Cote-Walkden could be considered the armchair time traveller. The Armstrong author has taken the subjects of her last three books through the early days of the Rennaisance in Rome, across the battlefields of the Great Depression and the Second World War, and to the present future, where environmental concerns are paramount. Lately, Cote-Walken has managed to travel the world through the point of a pen and a tap of a keyboard in the span of one-and-a-half years. Her efforts have just been recogized with two award nominations from the 2012 Independent Book Publishers (IPPY) Awards for her latest novel. Cote-Walkden’s third literary novel, Ayne, released in February under the name Mary Cote, has been nominated in both the military fiction and regional fiction categories, while her earlier book, Redemption, released in April, 2011, was previously nominated in the religious fiction category. “I’m intimidated. It’s a nice compliment. I’ve worked at the craft for a lot of years,” said Cote-Walkden, when contacted about the nominations. “For the ones nominated in those kinds of categories, they compete with writers from all over North America, Australia and England.” Raised in Carseland, Alta., Walkden-Cote lived in Calgary, Edmonton, and Canmore before heading to the Okanagan to live in Summerland before settling in Vernon and Armstrong in 1995. With her prolific pen –– she also writes mystery and comedy/satire under several pen names –– it’s fitting that on her website reads the tagline: “So many stories, so little
time.” “I find I have less and less time to write as I also mentor writers from around the world through online, virtual courses,” she said. While her second literary novel, Redemption, was set in 1300s Rome, and is about the corruption in the church before the Vatican even existed, Cote-Walkden based her latest book closer to home. Based on similar experiences of that of her father’s family, and namely her one uncle, Ayne follows lead character, Blake Calder, and the hardships he and his family endure growing up in the Canadian Prairies during the Depression before he and his brothers are sent off to serve in the Second World War. Calder ends up serving with SUBMITTED Mary Cote-Walkden’s The King’s Own Calgary Regiment, latest novel, Ayne, has a tank unit, which places him been nominated for in Scotland during the German blitz, and on the shores of Dieppe two Independent Book where he watches hundreds of Publishers Awards. his brothers fall. He eventually laces up the boot of Italy as a tank commander. Receiving messages from his sister at home, he learns of the whereabouts and battles of his other brothers who are serving, two in the RCAF and one in the Navy. His service is cut short when he is returned home with critical injuries. Twenty years later, Blake returns to Scotland to

discover what happened to Ayne, the woman he fell in love with on the first day his feet touched foreign soil. “There are stories about Canadians that served that you never hear about, which I find tragic,” said Cote-Walkden. “My dad was from a family of 14 kids, so I pared that down, and gave them an extra brother who served in the war. It follows my uncle closely but the outcome is my own for the story.” Cote-Walkden’s other book, Never Again, Forever, is about a different kind of war. “It’s about how a family deals about global warming, or what they are told is global warming, when in fact it is a polar reverse which results in a loss of all satellite communications and total disruption in the electrical grid,” she said. “It’s about what happens to society when you have to fend for yourself.” Despite her saying she has slowed down, Cote-Walkden is expecting to publish another two books in the next year. “I have a pirate piece that I am working on that is on the slow cooker. It goes back to the female pirates that were famous, and although it’s a fictional story, I want to make them as accurate as I can. The other book is about a draft dodger that comes to Canada and what happens to him. This is one my political axes that I want to grind.” Results of the 16th annual Independent Publisher Book Awards, honoring the year’s best independently published titles, will be announced in early May, with the awards ceremony to occur on June 4, during BookExpo America in New York. Most of Cote-Walkden’s books are available online in print and digital. Information is available at www. MaryCoteWalkden.com.

Each spring, the Vernon Public Art Gallery presents the annual Art from the Heart exhibition by elementary students from the Vernon school district. This year is no different, with the exception of some anxiety by the VPAG’s staff over the status of teacher participation in organizing the collection of artwork and promotion of the event. However, the teachers have come through for their students and have provided the gallery with a variety of artwork by children ages four to 12 from schools all over the Vernon area, said Kelly MacIntosh, the VPAG’s marketing and programming coordinator. “The exhibition is one of the most popular annual shows at the gallery and it brings a lot of guests through the door. Everyone from students, their parents, grandparents, friends and neighbours come to see the artwork on display by young artists-in-the-making,” she said. With the recent B.C. teachers job action, the gallery has been affected in both the communication and participation of Art From the Heart and in public programming attendance, said McIntosh. “There has been a dramatic decrease of the number of school tours and hands-on activities since the fall of last year,” she said. “Gallery attendance records indicate a considerable drop in school participation compared to
previous years. “We would like to see a resolution to the teachers’ strike as much as everyone else. Children need the exposure to cultural institutions as part of their development. This includes participation at the public art gallery, with an opportunity to continue their education outside of the school walls.” Both gallery tours and handson activities for even the smallest of group are available, and parents are also encouraged to visit the VPAG with their children. The VPAG is open until 5 p.m. weekdays and 11 to 4 p.m. on Saturdays, which allows for visitation around school hours. Admission is by donation and art activity fees start at just $2 per person, said McIntosh. Art From the Heart is on view at the VPAG starting Thursday to April 19. The public is invited to attend the opening reception Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. The gallery is also offering an Artist Trading Card session the same day. More information is available at www.vernonpublicartgallery.com or call 250-545-3173.

Enjoying the differences Thanks to the Rotary Club, Fulton grad Stephanie Jones has exchanged Vernon for Brazil Editor’s note: The following was written by Stephanie Jones, a Rotary Club exchange student currently living in Brazil. There is no amount of researching that can prepare you for what it’s like to experience the adventure of living a year abroad. Things never turn out how you had imagined, and certainly not how you expected. That being said, leaving Canada without expectations was without a doubt the most sensible way to enter my exchange. I chose Brazil, a country whose diversity fascinates me daily. As I am writing, I have been in Brazil for exactly five months. Within those five months I have witnessed a considerable amount of differences between Canada and Brazil. Included are the usuals, such as climate, language, food and culture, but also simple things like houses, schools and the streets. I will always remember the first day of school, primarily because someone threw a pie in my face, and shortly after I nearly got hit by a car. If you have ever experienced South American traffic, you would understand why. But I remember that day mainly because of a curious question a new friend asked me, “Do you think the streets here are beautiful?” At the time, I barely

Stephanie Jones brings the maple leaf to a beach in Brazil, where she is a Rotary Club exchange student. spoke Portuguese. I responded “No, not beautiful. Just different.” Even if I had spoken the language fluently, I don’t think my answer would have changed much. Rotary has this saying, “It’s neither good nor bad, just different,” and this simple motto is something that I try to keep in mind every day of my exchange. I am immersed in the pride and patriotism Brazilians have for their country every day. It is visible in any place you go. Tradition stretches from the soccer fans, barbecues on every street corner, strong family ties, the world famous Carnival, all the way to beautiful dances and yes...small bikinis. I try to take in
the culture as often as possible, and in turn, as an ambassador of Canada, I share our culture with those who are interested. My Brazilian life has its highs and lows. The most difficult part is being away from anyone and anything with familiarity. But with the reassurance that everyone is well back home, I would trade a year without my loved ones for the friendships I have made here any day. When all is said and done, I believe I will look back at the amazing things I’ve experienced, like travelling within the country, eating strange foods, attending high school, meeting exchange students from all
over the world, and speaking Portuguese. My exchange is only about half way over. The next half will bring many new experiences. I will be living with a new family in a different neighbourhood, attending a larger school, and making new friends all over again. I am so incredibly privileged to have an experience such as this, and need to extend my thanks and appreciation to those who have helped me along the way. Thank you to my beautiful friends, my loving family, and a special thank you to my sponsoring Rotary Club, Vernon Rotary Club of District 5060.

Kids in Control gives children the tools to cope Morning Star Staff
Children may need extra support and reassurance when a close family member such as a parent, sibling or grandparent is affected by mental illness. The Mental Illness Family Support Centre presents another session of Kids in Control for children ages eight to 13 this spring. The after-school sessions are facilitated by mental health professionals and an adult who has experienced growing up in a home with a parent living with a mental illness. The group is provided with age-appropriate information in a safe and nurturing environment where they learn healthy coping skills, increase resiliency and self-esteem and have fun. The children have healthy snacks, draw
and colour, play active games and do crafts. “It’s a fun group. You get lots of snacks. Don’t be scared if you’ve never been to a group before. It’s OK to try out new things. I learned new feeling words. The other kids were very nice to me. You can’t control mental illness. You can’t cause it. I can take care of myself,” said one former participant in the program. A parent who had a child with an older sibling with mental illness in the program said, “My child was afraid and anxious and never knew what to expect. It is difficult for a child to understand and cope,” she said. “I thought it was excellent and it helped her to understand that she was not alone. It gave her the tools to be able to cope better at home and she couldn’t wait
to get to the sessions. She was so much more relaxed at home.” The program helps children learn that they did not cause the family member’s problem, they can’t change it but they can take care of themselves. “She learned to do things like go and play, read or cook or do deep breathing. I see the change in my daughter being more comfortable in knowing how to deal with the situation. It has really helped our family.” The Kids in Control Sessions run April 10 to May 29 from 3:15 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. at The People Place with a maximum of eight children. The program is free. For more information and registration, please call 250-260-3233 or e-mail bcssvernon@ shaw.ca.

Lamb has a long tradition
W
hile the majority of North Americans serve a ham for Easter, many, worldwide, do not. In fact, their choice for Easter dinner is lamb. The roast lamb dinner that many eat on Easter Sunday goes back earlier than Easter to the first Passover of the Jewish people. The sacrificial lamb was roasted and eaten, together with unleavened bread and bitter herbs in hopes that the angel of God would pass over their Cathi Litzenberger homes and bring no harm. Today, most Europeans serve lamb at Easter. Christians often refer to Jesus as The Lamb of God. Thus, the traditions merged. The most popular seasoning for lamb is mint and rosemary, but in Hungary, paprika and bacon are used to intensify the flavour. Other great seasoning includes garlic, oregano, marjoram, thyme, lemon zest, cumin and coriander. You can make small incisions in the surface of the meat and place garlic and sprigs of herbs into the slits. You can do this right before you begin roasting, or a day ahead of time for a more intense flavour. Roast Leg of Lamb with Rosemary 1/4 cup honey 2 tablespoons prepared Dijon-style mustard 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon lemon zest 3 cloves garlic, minced 5 pounds whole leg of lamb
KITCHEN WIT & WISDOM
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt In a small bowl, combine the honey, mustard, rosemary, ground black pepper, lemon zest and garlic. Mix well and apply to the lamb. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator overnight. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place lamb on a rack in a roasting pan and sprinkle with salt to taste. Bake at 450 degrees F for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 400 degrees F and roast for 55 to 60 more minutes for medium rare. The internal temperature should be at least 145 degrees F when taken with a meat thermometer. Let roast rest about 10 minutes before carving. Roasted Rack of Lamb 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs 2 tablespoons minced garlic 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 (7 bone) rack of lamb, trimmed and Frenched ✹ 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Move oven rack to the centre position. In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, garlic, rosemary, 1 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Toss in 2 tablespoons olive oil to moisten mixture. Set aside. Season the rack all over with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp. olive oil in a large heavy oven-proof skillet over high heat. Sear rack of lamb for 1 to 2 minutes on all sides. Set aside for a few minutes. Brush rack of lamb with the mustard. Roll in the bread crumb mixture until evenly coated. Cover the ends of the bones with foil to prevent charring. Arrange the rack bone side down in the skillet. Roast the lamb in preheated oven for 12 to 18 minutes, depending on the degree of doneness you want. With a meat thermometer, take a reading in the centre of the meat after 10 to 12 minutes and remove the meat, or let it cook longer, to your taste. Let it rest for 5 to 7 minutes, loosely covered, before carving between the ribs. ✹ Your butcher can French a rack of lamb for you, but if you wish to do it at home, it simply means trimming the upper end to reveal the bones, removing excess fat.

Helping parents understand child’s anxiety CARA BRADY
said O’Gorman. Anyone who is interested in an attachment network can contact her at felicia.steppingstones@gmail.com. Understanding Anxiety in Your Child takes place April 3 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the
Morning Star Staff
Jodi Krahn and Felicia O’Gorman bring their vision of a collaborative approach to counseling. They have been working with children, youth, adults and families with Stepping Stones Counseling in Kelowna and are both now with the recently opened Vernon office. In line with their philosophy of making as much information as possible available to the public, they are offering a free workshop for parents on anxiety in children April 3. “Babies can have anxiety but they can’t express it. Parents learn how to interpret what is happening and it is important that their approach matches the child’s temperament,” said Krahn. The workshop will give an overview and basic information on anxiety in children for parents, foster parents, teachers, caregivers and anyone who works with children. “Anxiety is very common. Children can have anxiety about their own and other’s expectations for them at school and socially, as well as family situations. Electronics can cause anxiety as they try to keep up with social networking. But anxiety is not always bad, it can signal needs,” said O’Gorman. “Some signs of anxiety can be avoidance of school, friends or certain activities, worry, excessive crying, not being able to calm themselves and rit-

uals and magical thinking, even in children as young as pre-schoolers. This means they do not feel safe and are trying to come up with ways to make themselves feel safe.” The workshop will discuss how to recognize different kinds of anxiety and how to talk about it and deal with anxiety and panic attacks, as well. “Parents feel empowered by knowledge. They may feel helpless but they can play a large role in helping to normalize anxiety and manage it,” said Krahn. She and O’Gorman work with families and with children, adults and couples individually. “It seems that most of my adult life, I have been a lay counselor, peer helper and mentor,” said Krahn, who was home with children then got her Master of Counseling from Gonzaga University. “It’s very rewarding, and for me, it’s very sacred work when people let you in to their healing journey. A big part of what I do is based on my own life experiences and healing myself.” She has worked with people with developmen-
tal disabilities through Community Living B.C. and done group work at NOYFSS as well as private practice. O’Gorman got her Master of Counseling from the University of Calgary after her children were grown. “I’ve always worked with kids, coaching and in sports and education. I saw kids having difficulties and I was able to help in some ways but I wanted more credentials to be able to work in more meaningful ways. Every kid should have a chance at success in their lives,” she said. She has worked in counseling at the Family Resource Centre. Kr ahn and O’Gorman both have additional specialized training in play therapy and art therapy. “Our hope is to fill a niche here in Vernon in adding to the family services that are already here. We want to create an attachment network, which has been welcomed in Kelowna. This brings health care workers together for support and education and to learn about community resources so they can make appropriate referrals for their clients,”

realignment of Highway 97A, a Kelowna-based construction company has made application to amend the official community plan and rezone a portion of a 4.88 hectare lot at Highway 97A and Harding Road to create a new 1.08 hectare highway and tourist commercial lot. “The big part is looking to redevelop the land and make it so we have commercial all across the frontage of the highway, rather than as before when we had it set up to build homes all the way up to the highway,” said Greg Aslin, general manager of land development and homes for Emil Anderson Construction Ltd. “We don’t think that’s very saleable.” Originally, the construction group had proposed putting the commercial portion of its plan in the corner and use the rest to create 72 single-family housing units. But, with Highway 97A being realigned over the past year at that location, Asling said his company needed to bring access to the
development further down Harding Road. The commercial portion still remains in the corner, with plans now for 63 housing units and the potential for a hotel or motel. “We thought in order to go through the exercise we’re going through where we had to look at servicing for the property, we said, ‘What if we could find somebody to build a hotel there?’” said Asling. There would be a buffer created between the commercial and residential units. Asling said his company has already contacted potential suitors for the commercial lot. “We have a number of interested parties in the corner,” he said. Tim Hortons has long been rumoured as being interested in the site. Armstrong council voted unanimously Monday to give first two readings to the rezoning application. A public hearing will be held on the application April 10 at 6:45 p.m. in council chambers.
Tolko backs talks Morning Star Staff
A North Okanagan company believes new trade opportunities could be opening in Asia. The federal government has announced that it is pursuing a free trade agreement between Canada and Japan. “Japan is one of our largest and longest standing overseas customers,” said Brad Thorlakson, Tolko Industries president. Over the past 30 years, Tolko has exported a broad Brad Thorlakson range of forest products to Japan, including dimension and metric lumber, oriented strand board and plywood. “An agreement that reduces barriers and increases competitiveness is welcome news to the Canadian forest industry and our workers,” said Thorlakson. “Expanding our markets around the world is critical to the long term progress of our company and industry.” Tolko now sells more than 40 per cent of its production overseas. “We appreciate the government’s drive to move the country’s trade relations in a direction to further this effort to diversify,” said Thorlakson.

Enderby merchants rally behind Hansen relay Morning Star Staff
Enderby merchants are showing their support for increased mobil-
ity among residents. Funds are being raised for the 25th anniversary Rick Hansen Relay cel-
ebrations Tuesday and businesses who provide donations are being recognized with a wheel-
chair painted on their window or door. “Within a short week, 30 Enderby businesses

pledged their support, with more still rolling in,” said Cora Prevost, with the organizing committee. “This is totally unbelievable in these days of lesser sales and lower profits, and is beyond the organizers wildest dreams.” Fundraising has been so positive that a donation will be made to the Rick Hansen Foundation from the businesses of the City of Enderby. Prevost is urging residents to thank the participating merchants personally. “As you walk by those painted wheelchairs, do pop in and congratulate the businesses on their extreme generosity,” she said. Rick Hansen Relay festivities in Enderby will officially include a five-kilometre run/walk/ wheel event, a fitness challenge and a Lions supper. For more information about the relay and activities in Enderby, contact Patricia Cech at 780-7216475 or 250-838-5640.

A smoke alarm saved an Armstrong home from significant damage Monday morning. The blaring alarm alerted a home owner in the 2400 block of Maundrell Avenue to a fire in his garage shortly after midnight. One of the garbage cans in the garage caught on fire, and the owner was alerted to the smoke by the work-
ing smoke detector. The owner was able to push the can out of the garage just prior to members of the Armstrong Spallumcheen Fire Department arriving on the scene. Some linseed oil rags tossed in the can may have been a contributing factor to the fire. There was no damage to the garage.

Westshore park gets funds Morning Star Staff
Ongoing development of a North Westside Road park is moving ahead. On Saturday, the provincial government announced an $80,000 grant for phase two of the Westshore Estates Community Park. “The idea behind this program is to create a hub for outdoor recreation – a place to play sports like baseball and soccer, but also a more extensive trail network that will allow access to the surrounding Crown lands,” said Ben Stewart, Westside-Kelowna MLA. The project will include site grading and tree removal, installation of irrigation equipment, 200 metres of fencing, electrical servicing, concrete tire stops for parking stalls and construction of gravel trails. There will also be grass seed for turf areas and construction of a softball diamond in-field. Two benches will also be installed in the park. “The expansion of Westshore Estates Community Park will provide many more recreational opportunities and amenities for residents and families in

Vernon goes dark for Earth Hour Morning Star Staff

“The city will be turning off all unnecessary lights in operations buildings between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. and it hopes that others will do the same,” said Ann K l e i n - Mo r g e n s te r n , environmental planning assistant. Here are some ideas for how residents can participate: ■ Turn off or dim lights, and unplug all of your non-essential appliances and electronics; ■ Light candles or use your most energy efficient forms of lighting; ■ Turn the heat down by just a few degrees; ■ At home: play board games, make your own music, have a candlelit dinner, or take some time to think about how you can reduce your energy consumption this year; ■ Go out to celebrate: – Go to the Bean Scene for an evening of acoustic music by candlelight; – Take in a festive swim at the Greater Vernon Aquatic Centre under dim lights after 8 p.m.; – Go out for a candlelit dinner at one of the local participating restaurants (see http:// www.vernon.ca/lifestyles/sustainability/ earth_hour.html); ■ Pledge your support online at http:// earthhour.wwf.ca/earthhour/team_earth_hour

GOLDEN GIRL Kapak wins five speed skate medals KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Skate super fast in circles. Repeat. It’s a process which works wonders for Vernon speed skating phenom Connie Kapak. It’s been a month since she pocketed four medals in the B.C. Winter Games in front of family and friends at the Nor-Val Sports Centre in Armstrong. The smiling Vernon teenager took her game up a notch and claimed five gold medals at the Canada West Short Track Speed Skating Championships last weekend in Winnipeg. “I was probably more nervous than in the Winter Games,” said Kapak, a Grade 7 Harwod Elementary student. “As soon as you start the race, it’s fine. You can’t even hear the screaming of the fans. You look at video after and notice how loud it was.” Kapak turned 13 in February and skated in the Girls 12 division due to rules based on how old a skater is come July 1, 2011. There were 13 girls in her class, including good friends and Team B.C. mates Madison Karpes of Abbotsford and Dallas Hawkes of Chilliwack. Kapak, whose favourite event is the 1,500-metres, struck gold in the 200-m, where she earned a personal best,in 22.2 seconds. She shaved one-hundredth of a second off her previous best. Kapak also won the 400 in 42.78, edging
Karpes and Hawkes. Kapak took the 1,500 in two minutes, 52.46 seconds and ruled the 30-lap 3,001-m, in 2:52.46. “There is a new concept in the 3,000 distance where if you are lapped, you go to the middle and you are out,” said Connie’s dad, Pete. “She probably could have set a new record in that event as she lapped 11 skaters, then followed another B.C. skater (Karpes) the final three laps, as to allow her to finish the race and win a (silver) medal. That was classy. I was very proud of her for that.” Connie went into the short track championships bent on going all out. “I pushed myself this weekend. I sprinted the first three laps and right through the final 13 in the 1,500. I was texting my coach (Nancy Goplen) and asking her if I should do that. She knows me better than the coaches there and she told me I had the endurance to go all out.” Goplen, who has coached Kapak the last seven years, was at nationals in Richmond with the Team B.C. senior skaters. Kapak, who will skate once a week through the summer, was the anchor as B.C. cruised to gold in the 3,001-m relay. Connie and her friends celebrated their medals at a Boston Pizza in Winnipeg. Her expenses were covered through a fundraiser at the Vernon Boston Pizza, organized by businessmen Akbal Mund and Jim McEwan.

Buy-Low ladies rule Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Buy-Low Vixens are a fun-seeking bunch of ladies who know how to win hockey games. After claiming the Armstrong Safe Hockey League regular-season title at 18-2, the Vixens took the playoff title last weekend at Nor-Val Sports Centre. There were eight women’s teams from Vernon, Armstrong and Salmon Arm in the second-year league. The Vixens were bolstered this season by UBC Thunderbird grads Kelsey Halvorson and Kelsey Kirkham and young Vernon Rep players Cassie Bosworth and Morgan Zoethout. Vernon newbie Amy Irvine also joined the Buy Low gals, while super sniper Leah Mulvihill missed the first half of the season after having her first baby and ended up fifth in Vixen scoring. Christine Bosworth, Bernie Dwan, Jen Spitzer, Jodi Tung, Diana Huntley, Patti Hansen, Christine Sherman, Michelle Embleton, Brandy Weismann, Edeen Ramsey have been with the team since it started in 2003. “Initiating the rookies has been a large part of the team’s off-ice antics this season,” said Christine Bosworth, a smooth-skating d-man. “With so many newcomers this year, cars have been Saran wrapped, whipped cream has been found in shoes, one player found herself alone on the ice in the middle of a game with all her teammates waving at her from the bench, and a couple gals who refused
to wear the ugly Vixen socks (total trademark of the Vixens) found their old socks burnt in a heap in the parking lot. This team exemplifies every part of what it means to be a team on and off the ice.” The Vixens have two mother/daughter pairs playing together. Bernie Dwan and her daughter Mandy Christensen have been playing together for a few years now and Cassie Bosworth joined her mom Christine for her first year. Buy-Low ambushed the Shuswap Storm 8-1 in Sunday’s final with Mulvihill pulling the hat trick and Zoethout scoring twice, including one shorthanded. Kirkham, Bernie Dwan and Halvorson supplied singles, while assists from Cassie Bosworth and Tung. Kirkham counted four goals as the Vixens rocked the third-place Salmon Arm Wildfire 7-2. Halvorson (2) and Coralee Hamilton completed the offence with Cheryl Meier earning two assists. In Game 2, the Vixens shut down the secondplace Shuswap Storm 7-0 with Patti Hansen recording the shutout. Halvorson (3), Bernie Dwan, Ramsey, Zoethout and Kirkham provided the offence. Mandy Christensen and Nichole Oakden had helpers. The Vixens are now eligible for the regional championships May 4-6, in Burnaby, and are off to Nelson for a tournament this weekend. “It will be the toughest competition we will face all season,” aid Christine Bosworth. “We are going back hoping to defend our title.”

Silvertips take B.C. bronze Morning Star Staff
Deagan McMillan and JJ Milne paced the Kingfishers with four goals each. Zachary Milne added two goals and Braydon Schwaerzle a single. Netminder Logan Killingbeck earned his third win of the season as Kingfishers ran their spring record to 3-1. Next up for Vernon is the Kamloops Pirate Challenge this weekend as they compete in the top age group against top teams from Western Canada, including the B.C. Lightning of Langley, Calgary Havoc and Kamloops Ice Pirates. “We had our best team game so far,” said Kingfishers’ head coach Tim Milne. “The kids came out flying and kept West Kelowna pinned in their own end all night. Our skating and checking was strong and the team is definitely improving its positional play on big ice... especially for seven-year-olds. Most important, they’re having a blast.”
The Salmon Arm Silvertips claimed a bronze medal in the B.C. Midget A Female Hockey Championships. The Tips, who have 11 players from the Vernon region, grounded the Whitehorse Mustangs 7-4 in their last preliminary game, to finish at 3-2-1. The Richmond Ravens stuffed Kelowna 6-1 in the gold-medal final. Hailey Silcocks and Lannie Houle, both of Vernon, scored as the Tips upended the winless Mustangs. Summer Jespersen, Ashley Tinney and Jessie Murphy, all Vernon products, and Oyama’s Phoenix Lawrey, each supplied one assist. The other local members of the Tips were: Ali Roine, Catlyn Marshall, Mykaila Head, Jenna Lazar and Kylie Assi. Meanwhile, the Vernon Kingfishers defeated host West Kelowna Knights 11-3 in 2005 Spring AAA hockey action Sunday.

The Okanagan Ball Hockey League (Vernon Whalers and Flyers) has won back-to-back provincial championships, creating quite a buzz for the sport in the region. Former B.C. Hockey League snipers like Bryce Kakoske, Dave Robinson and Leath Gare, and WHL grad James Dobrowolski give the sport instant credibilty. “With fast-paced games utilizing quick hands and strong team play, increasingly, amateur and professional athletes are turning to ball hockey to enhance their skills during the spring and summer seasons,” said Vernon’s Erik Locke, commissioner of the Okanagan league. Official B.C. sanctioned leagues start play in May. Men, women, youth, and children’s leagues are always looking for new teams and players. Adult league champions (games held at Wesbild Centre) qualify for entrance to select provincial and Western Canadian tournaments, while this summer Vernon will host the World Under-18 Ball Hockey Tournament. Vernon has also been chosen to hold the 2013 provincials. “Ball Hockey is growing fast because it is fun, competitive, well organized, and inexpensive to play,” said Locke. “Sponsorship and employment opportunities exist for those wishing to become part of the Okanagan Ball Hockey League for 2012.” Contact Locke, at 250-863-7419 or Eriklocke@ telus.net.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Although you may need a bevy of activities to satisfy your restless spirit, you should take some time to work on your budget. You’ll feel good about yourself if you can trim some of the fat. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your restless and dynamic sides will be very much in evidence, causing a stir wherever you go. Think of it as spreading a little excitement around. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your natural sense of humor and quick tongue are likely to be two of your most effective tools. Used constructively, you can reverse any relationship that is heading for disaster. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Attend to your duties without making it a no-play kind of day. You’re going to need some kind of lighthearted diversion to help refurbish your attitude and outlook on life. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) By being flexible and prepared to change tactics to meet the needs of the moment, you can turn what would have been an unpleasant episode into one filled with fun and laughter. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Listen up when wiser heads are speaking. Even if a conversation wasn’t meant for your ears, something is likely to be said in your presence that will be well worth remembering. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Before getting yourself involved in some kind of new endeavor, it would be best to go out of your
way to examine all the available information and data. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Your spirit of cooperation will enhance all of the assets you possess as well as your appeal to others. A new partnership arrangement could be a consequence. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If you desire to be as productive with your time as you can, keep your head and hands as busy as possible. Projects that require both mental and physical dexterity are best. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Instead of participating in the same old things with your friends, experiment with something new. If your pals don’t want to take a chance, go off by yourself and join those who do.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder HOW DO YOU START DUMMY’S TRUMPS? Confucius said, “There are three methods to gaining wisdom. The first is reflection, which is the highest. The second is limitation, which is the easiest. The third is experience, which is the bitterest.” Reflection -- analysis -is the best way to find the answer to a deal. But we should not wish to limit our knowledge. And experience can make life easier, although, it is true, gaining it can be painful. What in your wisdom -opinion -- is the right play of the trump suit in this four-heart contract? West leads the club queen. South loses the first three tricks, then wins the fourth with his spade ace.
This was a good deal for Stayman, since three notrump fails. (Declarer, unable to get to dummy to take the heart finesse, should end with only three spades, three hearts and two diamonds.) Use Stayman when you have minimum game points and a low doubleton (or singleton or void), as the North hand does here. South must first get into the dummy by ruffing the third diamond. Then, since the trump finesse might need to be repeated, he must call specifically for the heart nine. When that holds, he continues with the heart queen. Here, assuming East does not cover, Declarer then plays dummy’s last heart to his jack, cashes the ace, and claims.
Note that if South starts with dummy’s heart queen, unblocking his 10 or jack, East should duck the first round and cover the ninecontinuation to guarantee himself a trump trick. When you need to repeat a finesse, first lead the lowest card that can hold the trick if the finesse is working.
