Citizen’s selfless acts cause a buzz Armstrong’s Busy Bee is its 2012 Good Citizen of the Year. Betty Bifano, who does volunteer work at the Bargain Bin among other selfless acts of kindness, was caught off guard when presented with the honour Friday morning at the Bin. “I was shocked, absolutely,” said Bifano, a widow, mother and grandmother. “I guess it’s an honour to be chosen, but I don’t feel I have done enough to be given that award.” Those who nominated Bifano, referred to by one nominator as “The Busy Bee,” would disagree. Several people nominated Bifano for her work with the Bargain Bin, for the fact she reads to people with poor eyesight, and
for children at Highland Park Elementary School. Bifano visits patients in the hospital. She bakes cookies and buns for an Armstrong senior home and a friend who is ill. She prepares lunch and makes muffins for the senior day care in Enderby twice a week. And Bifano volunteers in the flower division at the Interior Provincial Exhibition, plus plants the flowers at her apartment building for all to enjoy. Whatever she does, wrote one nominator, Bifano does everything “with a very cheerful and patient attitude.” Born and raised on an Armstrong farm, Bifano and her husband, Ralph, raised three kids before moving to Trail, where Bifano would spend 17 years. After Ralph passed away in 1992, Bifano stayed in the Kootenay city substitute teach-

ing and working at Trail’s famous Colander Restaurant. When she wasn’t working, Bifano started to visit older people in their homes, helping “people who need help,” she said. A desire to be closer to her kids and grandchildren resulted in Bifano moving back to Armstrong in 2007 where she continued volunteering her time, something she certainly enjoys doing. “It gives something to occupy your time that’s worthwhile,” said Bifano. Bifano was slated to attend the Citizen of the Year tea, hosted by the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum & Art Gallery, Tuesday, before being officially recognized by the community at Canada Day July 1 in Memorial Park. She will also be the honorary parade marshal for the IPE parade Sept. 1.

A Father’s Day tradition was an overwhelming success. The 13th annual Do It For Dad Run and Walk raised a record $31,800 for a resectoscope, used in the treatment of prostate cancer, and PSA testing Sunday. “The money stays locally in our North Okanagan community,� said Andrea Egan, with the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. “The event was also successful in creating awareness around the need — Egan for early detection of prostate cancer.� About 400 people gathered at Coldstream Ranch for the event, which was organized by the VJH Foundation and the Vernon Prostate Cancer Support and Awareness Group. The top individual fundraiser was Marnie MacKenzie, who collected $3,210. Doreen Hourie raised $1,325 and Sharon Joly brought in $1,200. The Lumby Medical Clinic claimed the prize for the top fundraising team, raising $770 in pledges, while the Mitchell Family was close behind at $636 and Team Wally generated $450. “Special thanks to Paul Jorimann who made a $3,000 donation to Do It For Dad prior to the event,� said Egan. The top male results in the eight-kilometre run saw Bob Woodman covering the course in 30 minutes and six seconds, followed by Liam McGrath (30:42) in second and Murray Flock placing third with a time of 31:11. Hannah Bennison placed first in the female division, covering the eight-kilometre course in 37 minutes and .02 sec-

A crew from George’s Gradall Service rips up weeds and dead vegetation Monday as part of landscaping improvements to Highway 97 at Stickle Road. The project is being led by Bob Fleming, BX-Swan Lake director for the Regional District of North Okanagan.

Beautification proceeds RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A local official says beautification of the Swan Lake corridor is in direct response to constituents’ concerns. BX-Swan Lake director Bob Fleming launched a project Monday to improve landscaping on the east side of Highway 97 between Mike Rosman RV and Art Knapp Plantland. “It’s a horrible mess coming into Vernon and my electoral area,” he said of dead plants and weeds. Fleming decided to act after hearing from Stickle Road businesses. “The businesses have been cutting grass and hacking at dead trees because it’s not being
“It’s a horrible mess coming into Vernon and my area.” — Bob Fleming done,” he said. “These are some of the largest taxpayers in Area B and they were being under-served.” Landscaping has been deteriorating ever since the Ministry of Transportation ended maintenance as part of budget cuts a number of years ago. Previous directors have refused to look after landscaping, saying it’s a provincial highway and local taxpayers should not be downloaded on. But Fleming disagrees with that position.
“Local jurisdictions have been after them for years and they have refused so do you want the entrance to the community to look like that? I don’t.” The ministry was asked to provide funding as part of the $25,000 project, which is expected to take about a week to complete. “They were not in a position to contribute,” said Fleming of the ministry response. “This year’s improvement fund with the ministry is diverted to the Highway 6 (realign-
Hang glider succumbs to injuries in Lumby crash Morning Star Staff
The pilot of a hang glider who crashed into a field near Lumby June 11 has died from his injuries. The B.C. Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of the pilot as Richard Michael Wood, 38, from Hope. “Wood was flying his hang glider solo from a popular location northwest of Lumby known as Coopers Launch,” said coroner Barb McLintock in a press release. “Shortly before 2 p.m. on June 11, he was coming in for a landing when something went wrong and he crashed into the landing field.” Wood suffered suffered critical
injuries in the crash and was taken by air ambulance to Kelowna General Hospital. However, his injuries were too severe to be survivable, and he died late on June 15. Wood’s death is the second of a hang glider in B.C. in the past six weeks. Lenami Godinez Avila died on April 28 in an incident on Mount Woodside in Agassiz. A Saskatchewan student operating a powered paraglider, Barry Kleiter, died on June 7 following a crash in a Spallumcheen field. The B.C. Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate all three deaths.
ment) project.” Much of the budget for the landscaping work is coming from businesses donating money, labour or supplies. BX-Swan Lake taxpayers will contribute up to $7,500. Landscaping will include decorative rock and grass and a low-volume irrigation system. “My design is to reflect what was done down the middle of the highway,” said Fleming. The centre median along the highway was upgraded in 2009 through the efforts of Swan Lake Nurseryland and the City of Vernon. Fleming hopes to upgrade the west side of the highway next year.

Not a single Enderby resident took pen to paper against borrowing big dollars to prevent flooding. No signatures were obtained as part of an alternate approval process petition to borrow up to $850,000 to replace storm sewer collection pipes along Regent Avenue from Highway 97A to Brickyard Road, make improvements to the storm sewer lift station, and replace other damaged drainage pipes. “It says that people in the community are well aware of the need to do the work,� said Mayor Howie Cyr. Howie Cyr Under the alternate approval process, 10 per cent of Enderby’s voters or 248 people were needed to sign a petition to block borrowing the funds over 20 years. The city decided to proceed with upgrades after torrential rainfall last summer forced some storm sewers to back up. That created extensive flooding for residences and businesses. “The incidents of last year put an exclamation mark on our storm sewer system,� said Cyr. Council adopted the borrowing bylaw Monday. Staff will now proceed with tendering so the work can begin. Residents currently have an opportunity to sign two other petitions before July 31. The city wants borrow up to $1.2 million for road improvements on Regent Avenue and Knight Street and storm drainage along Highway 97A. Public assent is also being sought to borrow up to $233,000 for upgrades to Sicamous Street.

A Vernon senior was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital Monday after being struck by a truck near the downtown core. Vernon RCMP report that at about 4:40 p.m., officers were called to a report that a pedestrian had been struck by a vehicle at 25th Avenue and 34th Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The driver of the truck was headed east on 25th Avenue and he had stopped at 34th Street to allow traffic to clear the intersection so he could turn left (north) onto 34th Street,â&#x20AC;? said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An 84-year-old female pedestrian was in the crosswalk when the driver went to make his turn.â&#x20AC;? Molendyk said the truck driver saw the pedestrian at the last moment, but was unable to stop before making contact with her. The woman was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with a facial laceration and possible fractures. Police are continuing with their investigation and no charges have been laid as of Tuesday.

Highs and lows of forecast raise flood concerns JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
The local flood threat isn’t over yet. “We have concerns,” said Gord Molendyk, information officer for the North Okanagan Emergency Operations Centre. The flood watch is particularly narrowed in on the Shuswap River – where there is currently a flood warning downstream of Mabel Lake near Enderby and
a flood watch upstream of Mabel near Lumby. With the forecast shifting to sunshine and temperatures reaching 30 degrees over the next few days, snow pack in the mountains will be melting. Then the weekend calls for rain. “We are anticipating that there could be higher waters yet on the Shuswap,” said Molendyk. A high streamflow advisory remains
in effect for the entire North Okanagan. Regional District staff continue to monitor the Shuswap water flows on a regular basis. Staff flew over the river from Mara Lake to Sugar Lake Monday, where they saw firsthand localized flooding in several areas. Many of the residents have followed through with sandbagging their properties and moving their animals out of the
immediate flood threat. While emergency personnel are available as a last resort, Shirley Bond, Minister of Justice, reminds all B.C. residents to remain vigilant in protecting themselves and their property. “Obviously we’re at the mercy of Mother Nature,” said Bond in a B.C. flood update conference call Tuesday. Additional sandbag locations have now been

Parts of the River Ridge Golf Club in Cherryville have been submerged by an overflowing Shuswap River.
Lumby keeps eye on rivers RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Officials and residents continue to watch for rising flood water in Lumby. Council received a verbal report from municipal staff Monday on recent flooding and the possibility of more challenges, particularly along Duteau Creek. “We haven’t seen anything like this since 1997 and we’re not out of the woods yet,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. “There’s still the potential for flooding because of snow at higher elevations and the rain.” Village crews have been busy ensur-
ing residents have access to sand and sand bags to protect their property. “There’s been a lot of education,” said Acton of the risks associated with living along a creek. “This is a primary concern for the village.” And flooding isn’t just a focus within the village boundaries. The B.C. River Forecast Centre has a flood watch in effect for the Shuswap River in the rural Lumby area. There have been reports of the river overflowing its banks, including at the River Ridge Golf Club in Cherryville.

Time to celebrate
L
isa Froom was in the middle of raising $165,000 for a new kitchen at the Upper Room Mission when an elderly woman approached her. The woman, who has used the agency’s services, tucked a small, brown envelope into Froom’s hand and expressed embarrassment over the contents. Froom, as general manager, extended thanks and immediately went upstairs to her office and opened the envelope. “It was 39 cents inside and that almost brought me to tears,” said Froom. “It was everything she could spare.” This wasn’t the first time emotions had overwhelmed Froom. Tears streamed down Richard Rolke her face as a couple dropped off an $80,000 cheque, bringing the fundraiser to a successful conclusion. In a society fixated on money, it would be easy to place more importance on the much heftier contribution. But the couple with the $80,000 and the woman with her 39 cents shared a bond — they gave what they could afford and they deemed the mission worthy of support. “Everyone’s donations helped with the kitchen,” said Froom. Humbled by the experience, Froom, URM’s board, staff and volunteers are wanting to say thank you to the community. Public tours will be held at the mission (3403 27th Ave.) Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m., with a ceremony and cake cutting at 2:30 p.m. “It’s a way of showing them what we are doing because we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for their support,” said Froom. Simply considered a soup kitchen by some, so much more goes on inside. All registered clients can participate in Fresh Start, which focuses on health, finances,
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
relationships, self-esteem and life goals. They are also encouraged to develop skills that will eventually move them towards education or employment. “People have a small picture of what goes on here and when they go on a tour, they are blown away,” said Froom. It’s also hoped Saturday’s open house will break down stereotypes, and particularly the misconception that URM is a hangout for druggies. “Part of that is true but as you get to know people and hear their stories, you realize that it’s regular people that struggle with addictions,” said Froom. For most of us, we don’t have to go very far to find someone we know — perhaps a parent, child, neighbour or friend — who has waged a battle with alcohol or drugs. There are clients with jobs but low wages force them to decide between rent and food. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch or supper, you will find seniors or the disabled sitting down to a meal. Teens and children walk through the door. Mental health is a partner for many of the clients. And like the similarities between the couple and the woman who donated, Froom insists her clients and those in the broader community share a common link — the uncertainty of what life will bring. “A lot of us are in denial,” she said of the possible impact from poor health, a marital breakup or financial collapse. “What if you lose your job? What would you do?” But while Froom wants residents to challenge their perceptions of life and their role in the community, Saturday’s open house is not about preaching or pointing the finger. It’s a party. “We want to celebrate what we have done together as a community. We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the public,” she said.
Okanagan wineries are anxiously awaiting pending legislation that could bring significant improvements to their bottom line A private member’s bill from Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas will introduce amendments to federal laws that restrict the sale of Canadian wine across provincial borders. Bill C-311, which eliminates a 1928 Prohibition-era law, cleared the Senate this week after previously receiving unanimous support in Parliament. It’s expected to receive Royal assent later this month. But it may still be a little early to pop any corks in celebration. Because even after Ottawa clears the way for wine to be shipped across provincial borders, wine sales will still be limited by a host of provincial legislation. The provinces still need to establish their own exemptions to allow the personal purchase and shipment of alcoholic beverages across provincial borders. Earlier this month, B.C. announced its own provincial tax exemptions for alcoholic beverages, with residents now allowed to bring back one standard case of wine (nine litres) from another province without paying B.C. tax on it. And there is some question whether the federal bill will clear the way for online sales of Canadian wine. Allowing tourists to bring home a case of Okanagan wine will undoubtedly see financial benefits trickle down to the industry, but opening the door to online sales would increase those benefits dramatically. So while the pending changes to federal regulations are a cause for celebration here in the Okanagan, more work is still needed to help B.C.’s wine industry tap into its potential. Black Press

MLA delivered the goods
T
wo years ago, the Upper Room Mission celebrated its 30th anniversary. One of our invitees was our MLA, Eric Foster, who showed a lot of interest in the work of the Upper Room Mission. I informed Mr. Foster that the Upper Room Mission was in dire need of upgrading its kitchen and asked him for government assistance in obtaining some funding. Mr. Foster asked about our programs and then promised that he would go to bat for us, assuring me that he would get us assistance. Little did we know at that time what he had in mind. This spring, we started renovating our kitchen and I called on Mr. Foster to inform him that we had started our renovations. I reminded him of his promise.
A few weeks later, we received a call from a senior civil servant in Victoria to say that Mr. Foster had spoken with both the finance min-
CYCLING HAZARDS Soon we will be riding our bikes to work to save the environment, etc. It seems odd that to get people out, we need to set aside one week in the year for this activity even though it should be second nature to ride a bike in the first place, whether to work or just to enjoy the fresh air. The only reason I can think is the inherent hazards on the way to work or home. There are roads that have no bike lanes so you have to rely on the person driving to see you over and above the other distractions the driver has to deal with. There are roads where the bike lanes have their own hazards to contend with. For instance: riding west on 43rd Avenue from Pleasant Valley Road seems a breeze except for the manhole covers conveniently placed in the middle of the bike lane, as well, they are not flush to the pavement which means riding over them will result in a flat tire or bent rim. You might think you should ride around them. The small problem there is the city uses that road to have dump trucks get to wherever. So you say, 'Go to the other side of the bike lane.' But just try to convince the people that park their cars there to come out and move them just for you. The next problem is Pleasant Valley Road as you approach 46th Avenue heading north. The city put in a wheelchair access to the sidewalk. A good idea except it is extended out past the bike lane to the edge of the travelled portion of the

ister and the premier regarding our financial needs. Actually we were hoping to receive a kitchen appliance. But Mr. Foster did far better.
road. Care to guess what happens as you approach while riding beside a car? If you guessed the car slows down and moves over for you, you happen to be wrong. One person riding will slow down. If there are three or four riders, the chance of one of them careening over the sidewalk increases. When you look at this extension, the first thing one might wonder was why the sidewalk wasn't made as a ramp on both sides as a safety issue? Ride further along this part of the road and the bike lane vanishes into a six-inch, rutted edge until you get to Silver Star Road. The next hazard is if you happen to enter the intersection to cross Silver Star Road and the light is green. Count on the light to change to red before you get across the road. When asked how to extend the time, the answer was, it can't be done as the traffic lights are timed with all of the lights down to 32nd Street and 25th Avenue. What bike rider would be concerned with that when he is just contending with someone blasting their horn because he can't get across fast enough? Other hazards to be aware of: Don't even think of riding anywhere on 32nd Street. Period. Use 27th Street. Just be aware that there are storm sewers that are sunk down so water has a place to go. It wasn't built to knock the bike rider off his ride, it just seems that way. There are also manhole covers with grates being parallel to the travelled portion of the road, good for the tire salesman. One other caution to keep in mind: transit buses are large!
NOBODY!
Maybe the observations I have given have a bearing on why people are reluctant to ride to work. The price of gas doesn't seem to have much to do with it, though. Bob Johnston DOWNHILL DELIVERS I would like to thank Mischo Erban who successfully organized the eighth annual downhill long board race. His passion and optimism as well as his showmanship has yet again proven his event is like no other. The volunteers, spectators and racers from all over North America deserve to see the community support in Vernon is truly one of the best. Thank you again Mischo and hope to see you back again for many years. Traci Evans Okanagan Traffic Control GRATEFUL FOR CARE I wish to thank community care team #3 at Vernon Jubilee Hospital for the excellent care I received during the past few months. The nurses were very knowledgeable about the types of dressings I needed for my wound. They also kept my doctors informed regarding the condition of the wound and treatments given. They were not only professional in their work but were also caring, pleasant and gentle. I feel very blessed and grateful for such wonderful care. Jean Harder

Cherryville Artisans put arts funding to good use Morning Star Staff
Funding for the Cherryville Artisans’ Association is going to good use with a number of events and programs taking place this summer in the eastern North Okanagan community. With its home at the Cherryville Artisans Shop and Marketplace, behind Frank’s General Store at Highway 6 and the Sugar Lake turnoff, the not-for-profit group continues to promote art and culture in the area with events such as its recent Earth Day cleanup as well at the Cherryville Farmers’ Market, which take place at the site every Saturday. “We received funding from White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture this year to promote arts and culture and to help with the Cherryville Farmers’ Market to provide more music, entertainment and arts during the markets and the festivals,” said Helen Kovacs, with the artisans association. Through the funding, the artisans have been able to obtain youth apprentice Sol Salisbury, who has been teaching children craft classes in the Mountain Kids’ Creation Fort at the farmers’ markets. There will be painting and other art classes available at the markets and possibly at the Cherryville Community Hall,
added Kovacs. “He is also learning about running a market and shop and he will learn glass making and other art disciplines like painting. This was developed to help youth learn about opportunities for their future.”
“We want to give everyone of all ages a chance to promote themselves as artists.” — Helen Kovacs Funding is also going towards the Cherryville Youth Drama Club, which will begin in the fall with a haunted house and will continue with community theatrical productions. Another program is the Emerging Artist Showcase, which promotes new and emerging, non-established artists who want to show their work. The artists are currently showing their work at the markets under a pergola at the shop/marketplace site, said Kovacs. “This is a nice space under cover where the artist could show at least six pieces of their best work,” she
said. “We want to give everyone of all ages a chance to promote themselves as artists... The artist should be just starting out. We will promote them, and they must set up and tear down and also be in attendance as they will be responsible for all their sales. Being not for profit, we will not be selling their artwork, so they must be responsible for that.” The showcase will continue at the farmers’ markets from June to Oct. 6, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and to 3 p.m. on festival dates, including the Roots & Beets Festival, which takes place Aug. 11. Roots and Beets will feature a full lineup of demonstrations from artists in hot glass making, weaving, woodworking, felting and spinning, as well as soap and candle making and throwing pottery. There will also be a full lineup of musicians, starting at noon with Tim Reardon and his group, The Fourth Divide, drumming group Bella Bloom, traditional East Indian singer Parvathy Baul, belly dancers, and the Society for Creative Anachronism, who will have a medieval display. The farmers’ market will also be set up. Those interested in any of the programs and events can contact Kovacs at the Cherryville Artisans Shop, (250) 547-0020, or email reddogglass@hotmail.com.

Vernon Public Art Gallery prepares for Midsummer’s Eve Morning Star Staff
Marissa Brown, the newest addition to the Vernon Public Art Gallery as administrative assistant, is working hard at organizing all the details for one of Vernon’s most memorable arts events of the year, the Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts. With help from VPAG board members, staff and volunteers, Brown is finalizing the list of participating artists, musicians, caterers, and entertainment, for what is expected to be a fabulous evening of arts and culture, July 18. The annual benefit, which supports gallery exhibitions and programming, while also raising awareness for the VPAG’s proposed new facility, will once again be held at Cenotaph Park in downtown Vernon.
The location draws attention to the designated site for the proposed gallery at the corner of 31st Avenue and 31 Street (the old Vernon Flower Shop), and is also adjacent to the greenway featuring the Caetani family and Alex Ebring murals, and the new bus terminal. “The location is open and inviting, spacious and easily accessible for guests,” said VPAG executive director Dauna Kennedy Grant. “The park will be transformed into a beautiful garden party and outdoor auction in celebration of arts in Vernon.” Midsummer’s first took place in 1986, and the support for the event has been strong ever since. The 2012 organizing committee is excited about some new surprises for this year’s event, to invite new guests to the arts commu-
nity, and welcome back continued supporters, said Kennedy Grant. “We are thrilled Predator Ridge is back to support the gallery at the 2012 Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts. Their investment in the VPAG through their sponsorship shows their recognition of the important role the arts play in our community,” she said. “We have many sponsors, donors and members who continue to support the gallery each and every year and we thank them for their generosity and welcome new supporters to come out and experience our annual benefit event.” Revellers will enjoy hors d’oeuvres provided by The Fig Catering and Itty Bitty Catering Company, a featured drink from Okanagan Spirits, followed by wine from Gray Monk
Estate Winery and ale from Okanagan Spring Brewery. There will be live music by Zentangle, and the chance to take home original artwork from the silent and live auctions. Guests will once again be entertained by word champion auctioneers Peter Raffan and Rod Burnett of Valley Auction. Tickets to Midsummer’s are $50 each and include appetizers and a complimentary beverage, followed by a cash bar. Dress code is dressy casual or garden party attire. Tickets are available now from the VPAG, 3228-31st Ave., 250-545-3173 www.vernonpublicartgallery.com. They can also be purchased at the Ticket Seller, 250-549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

Teenagers around the area are experiencing it right now as they try to finish exams and projects before summer break begins. It’s pressure, and you can either work with it, or against it. “Creating is a great way to relieve some pressure and a little pressure is a great way to challenge yourself to meet a deadline or a high expectation,” said Ryan Robson, an artist and instructor who is part of The Hub Arts Collective. With that in mind, The Hub recently called out to teens in the community and asked them what the feeling “under pressure” meant to them. The teens were asked to express their feelings through their artwork. “Teens responded in many different ways, and it was so nice to see such a range of expressions,” said Robson. “There are topics from self image to religion, as well as abstract sculptures to bold statements about war, money, love and drugs.” The resulting work is currently being shown at The Hub, and the June 9 opening saw awards given out to two of the participating artists. The Hub Choice Award, which was chosen by members of the collective, was given to 17-year-old Emerald Holt for the two pieces she submitted. “Her piece, Precious, is of a hand under pressure holding an egg. The hand tries to remain soft and supporting, but as pressure build, the egg is forced to crack,” said Robson. During the opening, another artist, Kyrel Lutsenko, who is also 17, told the attendees that his work was inspired by Holt’s.

Emerald Holt, above, and Sharlene Ferguson, below, show some of their award winning artwork, which is in the exhibition Under Pressure at The Hub Arts Collective. “Her bold colours and marks led to his work,” said Robson. The second award, The People’s Choice, was chosen by everyone who came to the opening night. Sharlene Ferguson, 17, and her five large works were chosen.
“Shar draws because she enjoys creating things she hasn’t seen before,” said Robson. “She is an intuitive artist and is not afraid to take risks and speak up about things that bother her. She works big and fast and her work demands attention.” The public can still see the young artists’ works, which will be up for the month of June until July 2 at The Hub, located next to the Towne Theatre, downtown Vernon. A donation jar is also located at the exhibition, and all the money will be going to put kids from Teen Junction through different classes and programs at The Hub.
Music students to busk downtown Morning Star Staff
Young musicians are about to take their instruments to the streets of downtown Vernon. During July and August, students, friends and some faculty of the Vernon Community Music School will perform outside Eclectibles Quality Used Books & Vintage Vinyl Records on the 3000-block of 30th Avenue. “We will be performing at lunchtime on the sidewalk in front of the store,” said VCMS guitar instruc-
tor and musician Neil Fraser. “It’s a beautiful spot in the shade, and the students will be accepting donations to raise money for the Sound Foundation Campaign.” Various musicians are expected to perform in classic busker tradition every Friday from noon to 1 p.m., with instruments cases open. The donations will go towards the music school’s fundraiser to install a new foundation at its home, the historic Smith House atop East Hill.

Kids help hospital with some CCR Morning Star Staff
Wentworth Music students are rollin’ on a river to the Vernon Recreation Centre Sunday to pay tribute to one of the greatest bands from the ‘60s and ‘70s. The rock concert entitled, Midnight Special - A Tribute to Creedence Clearwater Revival, will feature all the greatest hits from CCR’s notable career, from Proud Mary to Have You Ever Seen the Rain to Suzie Q. “The students do an awesome job performing these concerts,” said Vernon’s Wentworth Music manager Rick Doling. “To see the enthusiasm at rehearsals, along with all the hard work put in by the students and instructors alike, is very inspiring.” Presented by Interior Savings and Wentworth Music with help from Kiss FM and Night Owl Printing, this is the fourth concert of its kind,
with all proceeds going to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. Past concerts, with tributes to The Beatles and The Guess Who, have already raised $8,000 for the hospital. “We’re all really excited to be putting on another charitable concert like this for Vernon,” said Noel Wentworth, vice president of education at Wentworth Music. “Along with their weekly lessons, these performances put on twice a year by the education centre keep the kids involved in a positive activity with the goal of putting on a real rock concert that will ultimately help the Vernon community. It’s our sincere way of saying thank you.” Tickets for Sunday’s performance are now on sale at Wentworth Music in Vernon and cost $15/adult, $8/student. Doors to the rec centre auditorium open at 6 p.m Music starts at 7 p.m.

years, starting in high school,” said Judy Mallett. Huculak died in Hospice House and his coworkers have been having a fundraiser for the North Okanagan Hospice Society each year since so that others can continue to receive compassionate care. The management and staff of the store hosts the fifth annual outdoor sale in memory of Huculak on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the store. There will be hotdogs, hamburgers, smokies and beef on a bun and beverages available and a silent auction table, including a shadow box of a signed Canuck hockey jersey, a Robert Bateman print and more than 100 other items. “Our beloved and faithful Blanca will be present to give haircuts for a donation and this year, Carol, from Blanca’s shop will be here to do manicures by donation. We will have Charlene here again, who will do face painting on request for a donation to Hospice,” said Mallett. “Our terrific friends from the BX Fire Department will be on site to help. Word is that we have some fine local musical talent paying us visits during the day. And, if that isn’t enough, we will have some dessert, in the form of a bake sale.” All funds raised will go to the North Okanagan Hospice Society. “This is a way of saying thank you for caring for our friend and we hope you will help us do that. Please come and volunteer if you can — we need set up and clean up help. If not, please come and support us with a purchase. We are also requesting donations — merchandise, certificates, cash, baking. Anything you would like to give, we will accept with gratitude.” For more information call Butcher Boys at 250542-2968 and ask for Judy, Brent, Kevin or Dennis.

Try natural landscaping
Q
: Recently my wife and I were hiking the BX Creek Falls trail with our kids and dog and two of us were bitten by ticks. I found it particularly difficult to remove the ticks from our family dog, is there a good way to get ticks off? A: Yes, one of the best ways to remove a tick, which works in those places where it’s sometimes The Allan Brooks Nature difficult to get to with tweezers — between the toes, in the middle of a head full of hair, etc. — is to apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball. Cover the tick with the soap-soaked cotton ball and swab it for a few seconds (15-20); the tick will come out on its own and be stuck to the cotton ball when you lift it away. This technique is very effective and it’s much less traumatic for the patient and easier for the person tasked with removing the unwanted critter. Q: I’d like to landscape with native plants. What are some shrubs, flowering plants and grasses that I could include? A: Landscaping with native plants is an excellent way to lower your day-today yard maintenance, reduce the need for water and attract native pollinators and other beneficial insects to your yard. There are lots of native shrubs, flowering plants and grasses, many of which are drought-resistant by nature, which could be included in your landscaping project.
ALL THINGS NATURAL
Kinnikinnick is an excellent evergreen ground cover shrub; Shrubby Penstemon and Tall Oregon-grape are also attractive evergreens. Mock-orange, Wax Currant, and Saskatoon are all taller shrubs that produce an abundance of fragrant flowers. Scarlet Gilia is a native biennial plant that produces a stunning stalk of flowers. Golden-aster and Western Blue Flax are two other herbs that produce wonderful colours. Giant Wildrye, Bluebunch Wheatgrass, Rough Fescue, and Idaho Fescue are four native grasses locally available and worth considering. Q: I found bear scat in my yard this week and wondered what can I do to prevent this bear or any others from coming back? A: Natural curiosity of bears brings them into our communities. Depending on how close you live to potential bear habitat there are some simple behaviors that are important that you change to deter bears. Bears are ruled by their stomachs; if they cannot find the food they need, they soon leave the area. However, while exploring our residential areas, bears often become ensnared in a web of garbage and other attractants. Bears are most active at night and can smell garbage and rotting fruit from kilometres away so, instead of placing your garbage out the night before pick-up, doing so in the morning will prevent a bear from being rewarded and likely returning for a meal on another occasion. The most important thing you can do during the spring and fall is to make sure
bear attractants like garbage, bird feed or fruit are not available to bears. ■■■ All Things Natural is a public education and community engagement project of the Allan Brooks Nature Centre Society that is aimed at promoting public enjoyment and increasing awareness and appreciation of nature in the Okanagan. The project includes a nature-themed photo contest, an online searchable database, as well as this biweekly column in The Morning Star. If you have a question of nature that you have always wanted to know or recently wondered, please send your question via e-mail to askanaturalist@gmail.com. Answers to your questions will be sent back to you, will be posted on the Allan Brooks Nature Centre website, and may also appear in a future newspaper column. The photo contest is currently open to youth 14 years and under. Please encourage youth in your life to get outside, embrace your sense of place, ask questions of nature, and capture naturethemed photos that could be entered into the contest. Enter the photo contest by submitting up to three images every two weeks to atn.photocontest@gmail.com and include the photographer’s name and age and a title for the photo(s). The All Things Natural project has been funded in part by generous support from The Rotary Club of Vernon. The All Things Natural Column is written by Aaron Deans, executive director of the Allan Brooks Nature Centre Society.

NEW
BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL An unusually large number of harmonious conditions are likely to coalesce in several important areas of your life in the year ahead. However, to take advantage of them, you must be able to recognize them and act upon them quickly.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) It’s important to note that if you make good choices, certain actions you take concerning a pertinent matter are likely to have a number of far-reaching, favorable effects. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Although you might not have as much control over an important matter as you’d like, take comfort in knowing that someone else acting on your behalf will come through for you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Even if companions are much faster than you at thinking on their feet, you’ll still be the one who’ll recognize the value of their ideas and maximize the benefits. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Don’t fret if you feel threatened, because any challenging developments will only awaken your ingenuity. Competition will strengthen your resolve instead of weakening it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Endeavors that you attempt solely on your own may yield only marginal successes. Conversely, you are apt to be extremely fortunate in all partnership arrangements. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Overall conditions look to be extremely promising for you, and that even includes certain negative developments. Any disruptive effects will be short-lived and ultimately beneficial. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) It’s OK to be careful, but don’t play things so close to the vest that you
SA LE
end up overly cautious. Sometimes you need to take a calculated risk to get to the next level. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) With such a considerable number of material opportunities hovering about you, now is the time to improve or enlarge upon a situation that has already proved its worth. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) It would help you tremendously to be hopeful about the outcome of events that have an effect upon your financial wellbeing. Positive thinking will lead you to luck. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Regardless of how the day starts out, it’s likely to finish on a good note. You’ll make sure that many of the good things being denied others won’t be held back from you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If you want good things to happen, you can’t be indifferent about matters that can directly affect your interests. To succeed, you need to be assertive.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THE RULE REACHES OTHER DEALS, TOO There was a beer with the slogan that it refreshed parts that other beers couldn’t reach. Well, the Rule of Eleven sometimes refreshes your plus column in a way that other rules couldn’t have done. How does it help in this deal? South is in three notrump, and West leads the spade six. What should declarer do? The auction was straightforward. South had a normal one-no-trump opening, showing 15 to 17 points, and North had an automatic raise to three no-trump. South starts with seven top tricks: one spade, two hearts, three diamonds and one club. If the club
finesse is winning, there are no problems, but what if it is losing? If spades are splitting 4-3, there is no danger. So South should assume they are 5-2. Then there is a risk that the defenders will take one club and four spades. Apply the Rule of Eleven. Six from 11 is five. Since declarer can see four spades higher than the six in his hand and on the board, he knows that East has only one spade higher than the six. That card is twice as likely to be the king or queen than the 10. This means the correct play is to win the first trick with dummy’s spade ace to block the suit, then take the club finesse. Here, that brings in an overtrick. Notice that ducking
the first trick costs the contract. East wins with his queen and returns his second spade. West then runs his spades when in with the club king. This play is not guaranteed to work (West might have led from K-Q7-6-x of spades), but it is the percentage line.

Funds directed to Shorts Creek erosion Morning Star Staff
Efforts are underway to minimize future erosion and flooding along a North Westside creek.
On Monday, the provincial government approved funding sought by the Regional District of

Until this project is complete, officials continue to monitor the creek level in case further action is needed by the regional district’s regional emergency program. A recent report highlighted concerns that any additional high water levels could cause flooding problems in the Fintry area.

of ticket packages are now available at the Vernon Viper office in the Wesbild Centre: ■ The 13-game tournament packs at $199; ■ An Early Bird pack that sells for $150, available to Viper season ticket holders until Oct. 14, and; ■ A $399 VIP tournament pack that includes a premium seat, VIP access to the building, access to the VIP lounge, and souvenirs. Currently, ticket packages can be purchased with cash, cheques, or credit cards at the Vernon Viper office. Organizers will also continue to accept applications for people who want to volunteer. Perhaps the biggest task will be talking to sponsors. “That will be a big component,” said Klepp. Talks are ongoing with Armstrong’s Interior Provincial Exhibition about having an RBC Cup tournament presence at the five-day fair. Klepp added there will also be RBC Cup promotions at Vernon Vipers games in the fall.

Rain at the Downtown Vernon Association Sunshine Festival Saturday didn’t dampen hockey enthusiasm. While 2014 RBC Cup National Junior A Hockey Championship tournament organizers had hoped for a bigger crowd for the kick-off rally at noon during the festival, they were happy with how things began. “We were pleased with the response at the rally, at the booth where we sold ticket packages and met people who wish to volunteer,” said organizing committee chairperson Mike Lane. “There was also a good turnout at Boston Pizza later in the afternoon.” Don Klepp, the organizing committee’s media spokesperson, said 140 people signed up to volunteer and 42 ticket packages were sold. The rally was held on the main stage, where Beamer Wigley, nine, of Penticton, debuted his song “It’s Hockey Night Tonight,” written specifically for the RBC
Cup committee, and was a big hit with the audience. (His performance is available on YouTube, at http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=KaHJgM8CKUE). It was also announced that, come the fall, minor hockey associations in Vernon, Lumby and North Okanagan (ArmstrongEnderby) will sell ticket packages for the RBC Cup tournament and receive 25 per cent of the proceeds. “We’re also talking with Winfield Minor Hockey,” said Klepp. Many people stopped by the RBC Cup tournament booth during the Sunshine Festival in front of the downtown branch of the Royal Bank. The financial institution brought in an inflatable interactive hockey shot display, which was a huge hit with festival goers. Among the next steps in the tournament planning process will be announcing ways to buy tournament ticket packages online. That will happen in July. In the meantime, three types

Ryan Landels of the Vernon Re/Max Tigers fires on netminder Brad Stel of the South Okanagan Flames in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League action Saturday night at Wesbild Centre. The Tigers won 15-8, recording their fourth straight victory.
Cats find late-season form Morning Star Staff
Relaxed at practice, focussed on the floor. The Vernon Re/Max Tigers have finally gelled as a team, as evidenced by four consecutive Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League wins. The revitalized Cats, second overall at 6-5-1 in the five-team loop, brushed back the South Okanagan Flames 15-8 Saturday night at Wesbild Centre. They will look to make it five straight when they entertain the 4-8-1 Kelowna Raiders tonight at Wesbild Centre. Vernon closes the regular season with a pair of weekend tilts, hosting the first-place Kamloops Venom (10-01) Saturday, 7:30 p.m., at Wesbild before visiting the Flames (3-9-1) Sunday afternoon in Penticton. Vernon started the year at 2-5-1, and assistant coach Dave McWhirter credits
the mid-season return of players like Bayne Bosquet and Jake Soleway, along with much-improved netminding from Joel Fruncillo, for helping turn the team around. “They’re really having fun together, and that’s key,” said McWhirter. “They’re on the floor 10 to 15 minutes before practice. They’re joking around throwing the ball around and having a good time. That carries over to the game, and they’ve got each other’s backs.” The positive vibe has certainly sparked the Tigers’ offence, which has averaged 13.5 goals over the four-game streak. “We’re getting scoring from seven, eight guys a game, and when you get that, it’s hard to stop,” said McWhirter. “We finally adjusted our systems so they work well with the talent we have. You don’t have one guy trying to run
through three guys. We’re continually advancing the ball and it’s fun to watch. “We don’t really have a weak link right now, and we have a full bench too.” The Tigers raced out to an 8-0 lead Saturday night, getting first-period offence from seven different players – Mike Quarin (2), Ryan Landels, Matt Kolb, Brett Hanna, Jordan Orr, Bosquet and Darryl Landels. Kees Mooijer, Chris Pond and Nick Kapusty responded for the Flames in the second frame, while Ryan Sarazin and Bosquet handled Vernon’s scoring. Singles by Kolb, Nolan Frame, Darryl Landels and Quarin, with his hat trick goal. Mooijer and Kaid McLeod each scored twice for the Flames in the final 20 minutes. Meanwhile, the injury-plagued Armstrong Shamrocks (4-5-2), losers of three straight, end their regular season with a pair of away games, visiting the Raiders Thursday and the Venom Sunday.
A pair of Vernon golfers will represent the Okanagan Zone 2 at the B.C. Men’s Amateur Championships, July 24-27 at Swan-e-Set Bay Resort in Pitt Meadows. Conner Kozak, a Seaton Sonics grad, and Justin Wurz, a Fulton Maroon grad, finished second and third respectively in a field of 30 at a wet, blustery provincial qualifier last weekend at Eagle Point Golf and Country Club in Kamloops. Kozak, who is entering his second year with the UBC Thunderbirds men’s team, opened with a 1-over 73 Conner Kozak Saturday to sit third. He recovered from a slow start on the front nine Sunday (40), recording three birdies over his last four holes to card an identical 73 on the second round to finish at 73-73-146. Runner-up with a 1-under 71 Saturday, Wurz slipped to a 5-over 77 Sunday to finish with 148. Cody Bell (Salmon Arm, 2nd year UBC-O Heat) opened with a 3-under 69, and held the lead on day two with a 1-over 73 for a 142. Earning the final Zone 2 roster spot with fourth place was Kamloops’ Shawn Vanderwall (74-75149). Vernon’s Brad Jones cracked the top-15 with a 81-80-162 and will also compete in the B.C. amateur.
Little leads B.C. senior women’s Jackie Little, formerly of Vernon, made full use of home-course advantage to card a 3-over 75 to take the opening day lead in the B.C. senior women’s championships Monday at Highland Pacific Golf. Little, who owns the Port Alberni course and is the defending champion, fired two birdies and five bogeys. Alison Murdoch of Victoria Jackie Little stayed within striking distance of Little with a 5-over 77, followed by Penny Baziuk of North Saanich and Elaine Blatchford of Surrey, who sit tied for third with 7-over 79s.

After seven weeks of unbeaten glory, the Vernon Silver Stars were finally brought down to ground level Monday night. The fourth-place Stars lost 2-1 to the ninth-place North Country Appraisals Kickers of Kelowna in Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League play at Marshall Field #4. The Stars – the last team to lose a game – opened the offence in the first half when Kenny Rath scored a beauty, low to the short side, off a rebound from 12 yards after a Gary Saunders’ shot. The Kickers (4-4-1) regrouped at half time, started to apply pressure, and were rewarded when Greg Bevandick was hauled down in the penalty area. Bevandick calmly slotted the ball home for the equalizer. Steve Fitzpatrick of the 4-1-4 Stars – who picked England to win the Euro Cup – kept the score even when he cleared away a sure goal by Matt Cherrille. Cherrille headed the ball cleanly off a corner, but Fitzpatrick nodded the ball away as he defended on the goal line. Fritz Berenyi cashed in on a rebound for the winner, with five minutes remaining.

Big O Tire/Turn-Key Controls shut down the Kelowna Rented Mules 2-0 at Marshall #3. The Tiremen (5-4) converted lots of passes and won most of the 50-50 balls and went in front when Henry Czerwonka converted a penalty kick, low, right corner. The PK was awarded for a hand ball. Later, leading sniper Mark Wasylyk registered his eighth goal of the season off a scramble from a great corner by Rueben Cerventez. Wasylyk drove the ball low and hard through numerous defenders and the keeper. Tenacious forward Roland Reidstra and reliable fullback Leo Nadeau enjoyed stellar showings for Big O, whose keeper Yogi Kondsdorf made two big saves on clear second-half shots.
Penticton bankrupts accountants First-place Penticton United stayed two point ahead of second-place Kelowna Marketplace IGA by stuffing Bosman Accounting of Vernon 5-0 at Dale Meadows Park in Summerland. Ross Jewell of shortstaffed Bosman played striker in the first half and then replaced Guy Paulsen in net for the second half, stopping a penalty shot while allowing just three goals on 15 shots. Jewell earned the Geotech Drilling Man of the Match. The accounting crew sorely missed stars Henk Bosman and Erick Burnett, both in mourning over the Netherlands’ shocking exit from the Euro Cup. IGA stopped Salmon Arm McIsaac & Co. 6-1 at Parkinson Field #9 with a full roster. The Marketplace crew (7-1-1) dominated possession, and if not for the hard work of Salmon Arm’s back line, could have reached double figures. Tony Gonzales (2), Dante Zanatta (2), Lionel Hoffman and Larry Kinakin clicked for IGA.

Zanatta, who coaches the UBCO Heat men’s team, had the goal of the night past a helpless keeper Ray Tims. Nigel Clack connected on a 25-yard screamer for the shortstaffed Shuswap boys (5-3-1). Rookie Bruce McAuliffe scored his first winning goal since high school as Lake Country clipped Brandt’s Creek Pub 1-0 at Parkinson #16. Lake Country (4-3-2) had numerous chances to score in the first half with no luck. The second half was much closer with McAuliffe scoring his third of the year with 10 minutes left. Lake Country used a three-keeper system after defender Duane Mueller injured his shoulder. Brandt’s dipped to 4-4-1.
Celtic slips by Lake Country In men’s 35+ league action, the Vernon Celtic came up big with a 2-1 win over Lake Country Variform Monday night at Beasley Park. The Celtic (5-2-2) moved into third place, one point ahead of Lake Country. Missing their leading scorers, the Celtic watched Rodney Goodchild turn in a brilliant run, tiptoeing down the channel before finding the head of Kriss Yargeau for the winner in the 75th minute. The Celtic got strong play from newcomer Chris Ovens, who scored once and provided solid defending. Keeper Mike Collins thwarted several good chances by Lake Country (5-3-1). Vernon got good defensive play from newlyturned 40-year-old Jason Beck, Joe Schoeber and Ryan Sharp. Tyler Johnson and Ryan Leibel had gritty performances in the midfield. Vernon Kal Tire won 1-0 by default over Kelowna Taco Bell FC.

Barbarians pillage Jackal defence Black Press
ly the Merritt Herald Man of the Match, with timely runs and efficient ball distribution to go along with an incredible kicking game; six converts to go along with his one try. Three Barbarians’ tries were turned in by 19-year-old Eric Schmidt; others by Cameron Graham, Riley Clark, Stuart Woodman and playing-coach Tom Wigglesworth. “We gave away some weight in the forwards but generally held our own,” said Barbarians’ playing-coach Ryan Reid, who praised scrum-half/coach Mike Scheller for a gritty performance. “We went into the game knowing our advantage was in our backs, and that proved to be the case.” Added Scheller: “We sucked. Simple as that. They beat us in every facet of the game – ball handling, tackling, aggression, desire. They dominated both halves, and held the majority of possession during the match. “They tackled well, ran hard, and we spent the match on our heels. Their tight head prop, eight-man, standoff and both their centres played very well against us.” Unfortunately, the much-antic$ ipated family showdown between cousins Jonathan (Barbarians) and Garth (Jackals) Cooke didn’t happen cart • dinner • prizes as Garth, formerly of Merritt, is out of the lineup with a possible season$ ending injury.

The host Merritt Barbarians devoured the Vernon Jackals 52-0 in Okanagan Rugby Union play Sunday at Voght Park. It was total domination by the Barbarians, who scored on their first two possessions and registered 31 points in first half against the wind, and another 21 after the break. The Jackals had only three forays into the Barbarians’ half of the field, all in the first half. Vernon’s forwards generally played well and the Jackals were strong in the scrum, but their back line was completely outclassed and failed to generate any offence. Numerous knock-ons and technical infractions in the rucks didn’t help their cause. Barbarians’ standoff Cole Levitt was easi-

What can I do over the summer to help my child retain what he has learned during the school year?
Part Two: Here are some ideas to maintain or improve your child’s math skills over summer vacation: • Use practice workbooks for add, subtract, multiply, and divide practice (found in many stores). • Visit Vernon Teach and Learn downtown for more indepth workbooks, math tools and games and other great ideas. • Since math reasoning is logical reasoning, learn and develop skills in logic-building tools like Tangrams, Sudoku or KenKen. Older students may like doing logic puzzles (check on-line for some). • Have fun doing time-tested games with your children, like dot-to-dots, jigsaw puzzles, mazes and strategy-building board games, which are all excellent for the brain. • Find a great tutor who can help explain math concepts to your child in a way that makes sense to his brain. When he understands it, he will remember it. Have a great summer, and enjoy finding ways to make your child THINK!

Q:
I have a small amount of water coming into my basement, a friend told me I should move my downspout from my roof gutters so that it drains farther away from my house, what do you think? I think your friend is right. One of the major reasons that water gets into basements & one of the easiest to fix is your downspouts. Downspouts that dump water closer than 4 ft to your home are introducing a lot of extra water against your foundation. If your foundation wall has even hairline cracks in it, & almost every house does, the water will find it way through the crack and into the basement or crawlspace. If there are no cracks it can flood the perimeter foundation drains, & if the perimeter drains are collapsed or plugged, the water will find its way into the basement. A good rule to follow is if your downspouts drain onto the ground, ensure that they drain at least 4-6 ft away from the home. At one time there may have been downspout extensions but they were in the way for foot traffic of mowing lawns, so they were removed. A good solution for that is to get a hinged downspout leader that can be lifted out of the way when necessary. If your downspouts drain underground, ensure that dirt & debris cannot enter the underground drains. Another thing to remember is that if an upper roof level downspouts drains onto a lower roof, that part of the lower roof will wear out much sooner & will need repairs due to the scouring action of the storm water with roof grit in it. Add a downspout extension to the lower roof gutters. Remember, water is one of the biggest enemies of a home, & anything you can do to keep the water out is a very good thing.

Q: A:
There’s merit to keeping active both physically and mentally. Older adults getting regular physical exercise are 60% less likely to get dementia and exercise for the brain is also important in dementia prevention. However, your Mom will be a happier, healthier person choosing activities she is passionate about or has always wanted to do. Dancing, for example, is a great physical activity; learning new moves and interacting with others activates brain motor centers that actually form new neural connections. Doing the same activities from memory and facing stressful situations alone can shrink the brain’s memory centre. A walk to the local senior’s centre to play cribbage, a brisk walk with the dog and grandkids, a pottery class, volunteering at the library or museum, and playing wii are some wonderful options your Mom might consider an attractive alternative to her chores. Let us take care of the other responsibilities and free her up to enjoy life! Nurse Next Door™

My Mom thinks if she gives up her housework and all the canning and baking, she’ll deteriorate like her sister did. I think it’s too much for her now, but I also agree with her. What do you think?
Should I paint my house the 5 ‘elemental’ colours?
No. The 5 ‘elemental’ colours are actually the 5 phases of Qi: water, wood, fire, earth, metal. These phases have associated colours: navy, green, red, brown, white. A common mistake is to paint these 5 colours with the hope that everything is represented, so all will be smooth. Nope, not gonna happen. Classic Feng Shui is living in balance with your environment, so if you have an element (Qi) already present, then you don’t need to bring more in. Think of this like an outfit: if you are getting ready to go out and have shoes on, then you don’t need another pair, do you? When I feng shui your home, I assess what is there and bring in what is needed to balance things. I’m a highly trained mediator of Qi, or put another way, I am your ‘stylist’ who can see whether you need ‘red stilettos’ or ‘navy ballet flats.’

Q: A:
We have a Home Equity Line of Credit on our home and are hearing that these type of mortgage many not be available much longer. Can you please explain?
The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) has been working with the Canadian Finance Minister to consider changes to the Home Line of Credit Product, as the Government is concerned that Canadians are overly indebted. Under B20, they are proposing to reduce the maximum limit on a Line of Credit secured by a mortgage to 65% of the value of the home. What is not clear at this point is if it will be applied to each individual or the lenders “book” of HELOC Business. If you are concerned about the rule changes proposed, this would be a great time to review your mortgage and have a plan in place ahead of the rule change. Fixed Rate mortgages have reduced in recent weeks, so you may want to consider converting a portion of your line of credit into a fixed rate amortizing mortgage. OSFI will make the final decision on the mortgage rule changes in the coming months. OAC/ E&O.

Q:
My family says I’m a workaholic. How can I tell?
A:
Workaholism is not the same as working hard. Like alcoholism or other addictions, the workaholic’s destructive behaviours persist despite danger signals and feedback from loved ones. Some symptoms or warning signs might include: • Deteriorating relationships • Inability to relax • Working more than 40 hours per week • Thinking “it won’t get done properly unless I do it myself” • Damaged or deteriorating health • Inability to stop thinking about work, frequently problem solving work situations in mind during ‘time off’ • Denial of problem Is your relationship with work interfering with your relationships with the important people in your life? As a professional counsellor and a woman in recovery, I offer hope and support to others who are struggling.

Q: A:
Why should I use sports hypnosis? Sports hypnosis, or performance coaching, transforms potential into success!
Whatever the sport - golf, tennis, skiing, hockey - training your mind is as important as training your muscles. Elite athletes know this and use sports hypnosis to propel them to the next victory. As Tiger Woods said, “The biggest thing is to have a mind-set and a belief you can win every tournament before going in.” Sports hypnosis helps you: • Gain a competitive edge • Break plateaus and ascend to greater heights • Stay focused, cool and calm under pressure • Increase self confidence • Achieve your potential and desired victories
