Officials hopeful over river flooding

SLIDING INTO SUMMER

Jeremy Lidstrom, of Calgary, holds on to his children Brett, three, and Brooke, four, as they enjoy the start of summer at Atlantis Waterslides Thursday.

High water wipes out bridges RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Flooding has left Greater Vernon hikers high and dry.

Four trail bridges have sustained significant damage because of a swollen BX Creek.

“They are either completely removed from where they were located or they are completely trashed,” said Keith Pinkoski, a parks planner with the Regional District of North Okanagan.

That means a popular recreational amenity is unavailable.

“We want to make sure they are replaced,” said Pinkoski.

However, a significant challenge is finding the about $15,000 per bridge that is required to move ahead with

“We don’t want a Cadillac but we don’t want to replace them every year.”

— Mike Macnabb the work.

“We have not budgeted for replacement in 2012,” said Pinkoski, adding that the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee will have to determine a source of funds.

The price tag is based on current specifications for constructing bridges.

“The problem is the current bridges were just put in,” said Mike

Macnabb, GVAC chairperson.

“The new ones are built higher and they won’t get washed out. We don’t want a Cadillac version but we don’t want to replace them every year.”

It’s anticipated replacement could begin late this summer or during the fall.

“We don’t want to move ahead too quick because high water will be in place until about mid-July,” said

Pinkoski.

Beyond the bridges, a section of BX Creek trail has been washed out at Deleenheer Road and 20th Street, near Wal-Mart.

“We’ve got a few calls from people on that,” said Pinkoski.

Another issue that RDNO is looking at is the closure of East Vernon and Tillicum roads because of flood damage.

Macnabb says the closures have caused access issues for residents and emergency crews and he wants to know when the Ministry of Transportation will proceed with repairs.

The ministry stated recently that work cannot proceed until water levels drop.

There is cautious optimism about conditions along the Shuswap River.

North Okanagan E m e r g e n c y Management believes the potential for flooding has lessened although an evacuation alert remains for those living along the river from Sugar to Mara lakes.

“Things are looking promising,” said Gord Molendyk, emergency operations centre spokesperson.

As of Thursday, the river was deemed to still be at the flood watch stage.

“Levels went down three centimetres Wednesday and it’s expected to keep going down over the weekend,” said Molendyk.

“There is still the possibility of snow melt but there’s not a lot left in the Sugar Lake/ Shuswap River system.”

The initial disaster financial assistance application for the region has now been processed and forwarded to the provincial government for its approval.

“Local residents in the affected areas will be advised if and when it has been approved,” said Molendyk.

Residents doing flood-related repairs are urged to save receipts and document the work with photographs.

News Frankie finds family of rescuers ANDRE LODDER Morning Star Staff

T

he Monday of the Canada Day long weekend started out as typical for Vernon residents Denis and Gerry Marson.

The couple had been sitting on their patio with Gerry’s sister watching a hawk’s nest across Highway 97 near Okanagan College when the unthinkable happened.

Two baby hawks were sitting in the nest when the mother swooped down to the Marson’s yard to gather food for her nestlings. She never made it back, the result of being hit by a semi truck.

The Marsons were devastated and unsure of what they could do for the two abandoned nestlings. “It was the holiday, we weren’t sure who we could call so it was a hard night.

In the morning we called the SPCA who put us in touch with the South Okanagan Rehabilitation Centre for Owls,� said Denis.

Two members of SORCO immediately made the trip up to Vernon to try and help the birds despite not usually covering the Vernon area. “Usually we won’t come as far as Vernon it would go to Kamloops, but the Kamloops rehabilitation doesn’t come out and get the birds, you have to bring them.

We felt like we could hopefully have the resources to do this,� said Dale Belvedere of SORCO. Belvedere and the Marsons quickly called anyone they could in order to find a boom tower that would reach high enough to extract the young birds from the nest. “It was devastating, we knew there was no way they could survive for very long. I looked at that tree and I wasn’t sure if we were going to find anyone able to get that high,� said Denis.

Darcy Goodwin of Horizon Tree Services was contacted, and agreed to help out but couldn’t have a truck available until 3 p.m. Tuesday.

According to Belvedere a young bird needs to feed every three or four hours, but by the time the truck arrived it had been over 24 hours.

It wasn’t just starvation the birds had to survive, the weather was beginning to play a factor in their survival. “I was here this morning and we could see the birds in the nest, then there was that hail storm that came in and we were thinking ‘oh geez they’re not going to make it,’� said Goodwin on Tuesday.

By 3 p.m. the storm had subsided but another set of rain clouds could be seen blowing in over Kalamalka Lake.

The boom was quickly set up and within a half hour had touched ground again.

Only one of the birds made it with the younger of the two having succumbed to the elements.

However, saving one of the nestlings was a triumph in itself. “She was such a great mother, really looking after those chicks. It’s sad but at the same token we did save one, so that’s a good thing,� said Denis. “Frankie,� the young red tailed hawk, is now with SORCO and is doing well eating raw chicken every three hours.

According to SORCO it should only take about two months to rehabilitate the hawk and release it near the location it was found.

Meanwhile the Marsons are thankful for the quick response by both SORCO and Horizon Tree Services. “To stop and think what they did to save one little chick, it’s pretty heart warming,� said Denis.

For more information on SORCO visit www.sorco.org.

Frankie, the red tailed hawk, (above) sits in the hands of SORCO’s Dale Belvedere after being rescued with the help of multiple members of the community on Tuesday afternoon, including Scott Johnson (left) of Horizon Tree Services, who takes Frankie from its nest after its mother died crossing Highway 97 near Okanagan College. The nestling survived nearly 30 hours before being rescued.

Horse shortage stalls Vernon Racing Days RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Horse racing in Vernon has been temporarily thrown off course.

The first day of the racing season — Sunday — at Kin Race Track has been cancelled because of a lack of horses. “We’ve had days in the past where we were nervous about entries but this is the

first time we’ve had to cancel,� said Ed Woolley, Okanagan Equestrian Society president.

The deadline for entries was Wednesday but organizers were four horses short of the 25 needed for the five races required under thoroughbred racing rules. Acceptance of entries was extended into Thursday but the vacant slots could still not be filled.

Swing Umbrella Sale on Now!

The main reason for a lack of horses is due to many owners resting their animals after running last weekend in Princeton and Vancouver.

There is also a broader industry-wide issue of prize purses dropping in value, which has led to fewer people breeding and buying horses.

This has ultimately led to a decrease in the horse

13’ Octagon

population. “Hastings has had trouble filling its race card too,� said Woolley.

It was anticipated there would be 1,000 to 1,250 racing fans in the Vernon stands Sunday. “The cancellation is extremely unfortunate and we are very apologetic,� said Woolley.

It’s anticipated, though, that scheduled races July 15 and 29 and Aug. 5 will proceed. “The horses not available now will be available then,� said Woolley. “We’re not anticipating this situation again.�

For individuals who had received passes or vouchers for Sunday’s event, they will be honoured at the July 15 race.

Growers take aim at genetic modification RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Okanagan orchardists say they have the required proof to fight genetically modified fruit.

A national survey indicates 69 per cent of the 1,501 respondents are not in favour of a genetically engineered apple.

“We are not in favour of genetically modified food because of the market risk,” said Glen Lucas, B.C. Fruit Growers Association general manager.

“The survey validated growers’ concerns that there could be a possible backlash against genetically modified apples.”

Lucas says there are several examples of genetically modified organisms being developed and negatively impacting market conditions.

Beyond domestic consumers, there is a concern some international customers could stop buying Okanagan apples if genetically modified organisms are allowed.

“Europe doesn’t like this kind of product,” said Lucas.

The survey was commissioned by B.C. and Quebec orchardists after an Okanagan biotech company applied to have a genetically modified apple approved by the government. When cut, the apple does not brown.

Seventy-six per cent of respondents stat-

MORNING STAR FILE PHOTO

A majority of respondents in a survey across Canada state they are opposed to apples being genetically modified. ed the federal government has not provided adequate information about genetically

modified food. A further nine per cent said they had not heard of genetically modified

food prior to the survey.

Ninety-one per cent of respondents agreed that mandatory labelling of genetically modified food should be required by the federal government.

If the food were clearly labelled as being genetically modified, 14 per cent of the survey respondents would purchase the food without hesitating, 45 per cent said it would depend on the type of food being purchased, and 35 per cent said that nothing could convince them to purchase genetically modified food.

Seventy-one per cent of the participants in the June 26 to 29 survey indicated they are in favour of having a special category of food (e.g. milk, apples, pablum, fruits and vegetables) that should not be genetically engineered or be free of genetically engineered ingredients.

The survey results will be sent to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the federal health and agriculture ministers for consideration.

“We want to express our concerns about the current regulations on genetically modified products,” said Lucas.

“People want more information. We would like the government to postpone further introductions (of genetically modified fruit) until they get their act together and have better public discussion on the issue.”

We can’t really say much about our cars.

The awards say it all.

A decision to not use pesticides was announced Tuesday.

“The primary goal of the western hemlock looper spray program was to protect the mature hemlock forests as habitat for the local caribou herds,” said Lorraine Maclauchlan,

a ministry entomologist, in a letter to residents.

“The treatment of western hemlock looper by the ministry is only done to protect wildlife habitat and is not conducted as a measure to protect more economicfocused timber harvesting values.”

Maclauchlan says western hemlock looper trap catches in the Greenbush Lake area have increased significantly, indicating an outbreak is imminent.

“The defoliation for 2012 was projected to be in the low to moder-

Busk away

W

hat do Loreena McKennit, the Barenaked Ladies and Glen Hansard, of the film Once, have in common?

Well, besides being best-selling and well-regarded musicians, all of them started off as buskers, performing on street corners and in McKennitt’s case, at Toronto’s famed St. Lawrence Market.

Whether it be the streetcar-lined streets of Toronto, the cobbles of Quebec City, or the historic Halifax waterfront, busking is an integral part of the urban cultural landscape, especially when tourists arrive in droves during summer.

Busking not only helps artists make a bit of a living, it gives a city a certain “coolness,” an avenue to show off its talent and cred, so to speak. And it brings people downtown, which is good for the Kristin Froneman economy and even the safety of its citizens.

In B.C., it’s not uncommon for those strolling along Victoria’s Inner Harbour, or Vancouver’s Robson Street, to see any number of artists, from chalk drawers to the famed fiddler in our provincial capital who wears a Darth Vader mask.

(YouTube Darth Fiddler for an example.)

Despite their popularity, buskers in those cities have had to follow a certain set of rules, such as adhering to bylaws on noise. (Those kilted lads and lassies playing the bagpipes in Vancouver were recently given a few warnings.)

In Victoria, a bylaw amendment was made after complaints from businesses were received by the city that some buskers played the same song over and over in front of their respected establishments.

The result? Those musicians with a limited repertoire were asked to move along to a new location after two hours, with an exception given to the aforementioned chalk drawers who need a little more time to work on their projects.

This is the same city that banned bongo drumming in front of businesses back in the ‘90s.

Although Vernon is still fairly new to the idea of street performance as a way to enhance its

AT RANDOM

cultural aesthetic, the landscape along our main street sure has changed in the past 10 years.

The number of musicians and artists is increasing.

Before, the city had basically one known performer, that being local cowboy crooner Don Monty, who these days can still be seen in front of the Royal Bank branch on 30th Avenue with his guitar and plastic “duck,” actually a swan that houses his coin collection.

Known as Vernon’s unofficial ambassador, Monty, along with all street performers, have also had to play by the rules, after a 2003 bylaw was instigated that all street performers and buskers be required to get a business licence.

A license costs $10 annually with no restrictions on instruments. (Good news for any bagpipers out there.) However, as street performers start to increase in our small city, it will be interesting how the city handles what some people, misinformed as they are, still consider as panhandling or noise.

And those who feel busking is an infraction can easily view the city’s Good Neighbours bylaw to see the requirements for noise and panhandling.

On the plus side, it seems that many downtown merchants are on board when its comes to buskers, and those who need an example only have to head down 30th Avenue on any given Friday this summer.

During July and August, students, friends and some faculty of the Vernon Community Music School will be performing outside Eclectibles Quality Used Books & Vintage Vinyl Records on the 3000-block of 30th Avenue Fridays at lunchtime. And the Downtown Vernon Association, the advocacy group for downtown merchants, has also come up with even more street entertainment with its Sights and Sounds Downtown.

Starting this evening, and continuing every Friday though summer, various musicians and visual artists will be performing, and creating, on practically every block along 30th Avenue.

It should be an added incentive for people to enjoy Vernon’s downtown core, and give it some much needed life... And a great way to get rid of any spare change.

Although it failed to come in time for the Canada Day long weekend, and at times it appeared it was never coming, summer appears to have finally made its way to the Okanagan after all.

After suffering through twice the usual amount of rain in June, not to mention lower-than-average temperatures and flooding concerns, many of us will be rushing to area lakes and parks this weekend to begin the summer fun on the run.

And that’s understandable, not to mention partly why we live in the Okanagan.

Enjoy.

But as we soak up that formerly AWOL thing called the sun, we would be wise to keep safety in mind.

And that begins with not rushing so much, possibly thinking that summer was so delayed and lasts such a short time that we better enjoy it while it lasts.

Traffic is bound to be up as sun-seekers find their way out of their cocoons and onto area highways, so obey speed limits and patience is always a virtue when it comes to driving in the Okanagan.

Pack the sunscreen for your pasty, white skin and you also might need some mosquito spray as well, due to high water this year.

And, of course, be wary of fast-moving creeks and rivers, especially with children, and boaters need to control their wake during these high-water times. Not to mention watch for a higher amount of debris in the area lakes due to increased water levels detaching branches and logs from the shorelines.

Certainly get outside and enjoy all the Okanagan has to offer this sunny weekend. We all deserve it for surviving such a dreary spring. However, do it safely.

MPs ignore plight of workers

I

don't not claim to be right for others though I am sure many would choose to feel the same way as I do about certain government decisions.

It should come as no surprise that our local MP Colin Mayes is in favour of making it more likely people will be driven to accept lower and lower wages to utilize EI benefits for the unemployed.

Mr. Mayes is very easy to talk, as politicians never receive wage cuts, have the benefit of automatic cost of living increases, spend taxpayer money how they deem fit, vote for their own raises and enjoy taxpayerfunded pension plans that leave MPs in the position of being wealthy for life while the rest of us toil for lower wages, no benefits, no rising cost of living benefit and higher taxes.

How much is the EI surplus now Mr. Mayes? It is a well known fact that the system has been amply and massively overfunded for years and continues to be. I do not see premium breaks to the workers or employers.

I do see a government that seems to only favour continual cuts for big corporations at the expense of the working person.

Maybe you should look at the actual percentage of people who abuse the system and not automatically judge all people who may have need of the EI benefit plan. I feel you would find it

would be less than five per cent as you would find anywhere in life.

How many politicians are coming to light, of abuse, of the system?

Spending taxpayer money to live a lavish life far beyond the idea of covering basic costs to ensure the politician can do what is needed for his/her constituents? I do not see you voting for these fellow MPs to have their benefits cut.

Maybe this is just a ploy to get Canada into the Third World mode of people having to take less and less money to survive so government can show big business and corporations that they compete globally with the atrocious conditions, poverty wages and no environmental protection that are seen by Third World workers.

After all should people have to receive less wages (70 per cent of their normal wage) or be excluded from EI benefits, when that employment ends, they

WAR AMPS I am writing on behalf of The War Amps Operation Legacy, in which members of the Association’s Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program help preserve and commemorate Canada’s military heritage by teaching others about the important sacrifices of our fallen soldiers and veterans.

Of the more than 45,000 Canadians and Newfoundlanders who gave their lives in the Second World War, 10,000 were in Bomber Command – one of the most dangerous occupations of the war.

On June 28, the Queen unveiled the Royal Air Force Bomber Command Memorial in central London, UK. To mark the unveiling, the War Amps is releasing a memoir in its Canadian Military Heritage Series called Grandpa’s War in Bomber Command, a personal account of the experiences of the late Jack W. Singer. As well, members of Operation Legacy will be donating

can be forced to take 70 per cent of that lower wage, and then should they need to find another job for 70 per cent of the second job in no time they will be able to find jobs for minimum wage or less.

This should make employers happy as workers will not have to receive any benefits and will have to settle for employment that will not carry them to cover the cost of just living.

This should maximize the shareholders profits of business while creating many lower-paying jobs for the average person thus creating more profitability for big business. At least in the short run.

Well Mr. Mayes let's look at the reality of the Okanagan. Basically most do not make wages here that sustain the lavish life of our MPs and unless you are already retired or wealthy.

It is a place of low wages, high costs

copies of the memoir to their local libraries.

Born and raised in Toronto, Singer joined the Royal Canadian Air Force at age 19 and served as a bomb-aimer with No. 9 Squadron, RAF.

being told it will probably be fall until the road is repaired.

First off it would not be so bad that we have to detour to BX Road and then Dixon Dam Road, but these roads are in such bad shape, especially Dixon Dam Road. There are places on Dixon Dam where if two vehicles meet you have to be very careful as to not drive off the road and the potholes are ridiculous.

Then there is the fact that it is a 40-minute drive to go and get our mail. Even if they do take until fall to fix the road they should be looking at fixing the whole road. In the past 10 years traffic on this road has increased dramatically because of the popularity of the new subdivision on the old ski hill and the campground re-opening.

I really don't know what happens to our tax money but it certainly does not go to upgrading roads.

of food, gas, housing etc. The average wage seems to be about 15 dollars. If we can get everyone to accept 70 per cent of that wage for their next job, and then 70 per cent of the job after that we will soon be able to get many down to the minimum wage in a matter of a few years.

It is very easy to sit up on a pedestal and judge the average person, when you choose not to wear the average persons' shoes, look at longterm implications and have to make it through life, knowing you won't have a ludicrous amount of pension monies coming to you the moment you decide you don't want to do a job anymore. Maybe politicians should be like the rest of us.

Working until they are 67 before getting benefits, or receiving no pension benefits, should they be fired from their employment or quitting because they don't want to do that job anymore.

After all what is good for the goose should be good for the gander.

This would maybe motivate politicians to seek to understand the true situation, of the average person, before wanting to be understood for their own personal reasons.

Show some courage and make it a fair playing field for all Canadians, including the politicians.

WHERE ARE FANS? Being a daughter of a father and uncle who ate, slept, and breathed lacrosse, I could not believe my eyes as I entered Wesbild Arena on Saturday evening.

Where were all the fans?

The game was fantastic. The coach even better. A pat on the back to every boy who came back to the bench.

Those Tigers played their hearts out. All had good sportsmanship and kinship as well. So nice to see.

I'm still wondering what does hockey have that lacrosse does not? Good luck Tigers and thank you for a terrific evening.

Some people had a little too much fun during the Funtastic slo-pitch and music festival at the Vernon army camp.

Vernon RCMP reported that from Friday night through to Monday afternoon, 14 people were taken to cells to sleep things off for being drunk in a public place.

A total of 19 violation traffic tickets were issued, along with 13 liquor violation tickets.

Despite the numbers, police said there were no major issues at the Vernon portion of the annual event.

“There were very few incidents considering the crowds at various times on the grounds,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

“There was lots of police and security presence which alleviated any potential problems as incidents were dealt with immediately, and any problem people were escorted off the grounds.”

Crowds were estimated as high as 6,000, particularly on Sunday night for the fireworks show and a performance by legendary Canadian band Trooper, and the total crowd number for the three nights of music is estimated at 16,000.

ICM Security, which worked the Vernon beer gardens throughout the weekend, evicted approximately 60 people over the duration of the tournament, which drew the praise of Funtastic executive director Jim McEwan.

DISTRICT OF COLDSTREAM

“We’ll do a debrief ourselves, take a look at what worked...”

— Jim McEwan Ideally, said McEwan, he’d like to see no arrests at Funtastic but admits that’s not going to happen.

“You get that many people in an area, over four days, 14 arrests is not that many,” he said.

Meetings are held before, during and after Funtastic with security partners to ensure the safety of participants and attendees.

“It’s one of the things we’ve prided ourselves on, and why Funtastic is a safe event,” said McEwan.

“We have those working relationships with not only the RCMP but military police and bylaws.

“We’ll do a debrief ourselves, take a look at what worked and what didn’t work that we need to fix for the upcoming year.”

McEwan said Funtastic officials sit down with an RCMP liaison and members during the event to find out what, if anything, needs fixing immediately.

“It can be something like raising a light or changing the angle of a light so there are no blind or dark spots,” he said.

Food bank forges ahead RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Lake Country’s food bank has a new home despite some outstanding concerns.

Council approved Tuesday the food bank building a new facility on district land adjacent to the seniors centre. But there have been some public concerns about how the new structure could impact adjacent activities and specifically vehicle parking.

“If they arrange hours and they don’t have things all at once, we could perhaps fit James Baker everything in there,” said Mayor James Baker.

Besides the seniors centre, the recreation centre and curling club are in close proximity to the site on Bottom Wood Lake Road.

A district staff report suggests there is sufficient parking.

“It was determined the biggest parking conflicts arise on Friday evenings, Saturdays and Sundays

when the arena is at its peak demand time,” said Steve Schaffrick, community and customer services director.

“The food bank operates Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., which is the least busy time at the site. Overall, there are 191 parking spots on the entire Winfield Recreation Centre site and the current bylaw requires 164 parking spots.”

Presently, the food bank operates out of part of the old Winfield school, and the space is inadequate to meet steady demands for the service.

The district is working on a new facility with the Rotary Club of Lake Country and the Lake Country Food Assistance Society.

“Rotary is raising money to build it,” said Baker.

The projected cost is $770,000 and Baker questions why the federal and provincial governments aren’t participating because social issues fall under their mandate.

“This is another example of downloading on local government,” he said.

“We will go after senior government for grants to help Rotary out.”

School boards vote for deal Local school trustees are among those who raised their hands for a new pact with teachers.

Both the Vernon and North OkanaganShuswap school boards were among the districts that voted for a two-year contract with teachers Wednesday.

“We appreciate that there’s some resolution but other issues are still back there,” said Bill Turanski, Vernon chairperson.

“There are a number of things still to be negotiated.”

While the agreement, which has also been ratified by teachers, dealt with issues like benefits, there was no Bill Turanski resolution of wages, class size or class composition.

Turanski expects the next round of talks will be difficult because the outstanding items place financial pressures on districts but the government is not providing any new funding.

However, he is optimistic based on the new contract.

“Both parties have learned something — that we can come to an agreement. Perhaps that will be an incentive,” he said.

City banking in Valley First hands Morning Star Staff

Vernon has a new financial partner.

The city has moved its banking activities to Valley First Credit Union.

“We’re looking forward to our new relationship with Valley First,” said Kevin Bertles, the city’s finance manager.

Vernon is the ninth municipality in the Okanagan-Similkameen served exclusively by Valley First.

“We have a terrific relationship with all our local communities,” said Roger Houle, Valley First’s assistant vice-president of commercial banking.

Valley First has had a presence in Vernon for almost two decades and currently has one credit union and two insurance office locations.

There was no discussion on extra-curricular activities in schools when districts voted Wednesday.

It’s unknown if teachers will return to volunteering for sports teams and clubs now that a contract is in place.

“We’re hoping things will be back to normal,” said Turanski.

By giving up a few meals for the day, students at Harwood elementary school did a world of good, both locally and internationally.

Grade 6 and 7 students in the late French immersion (LFI) program took part in a 12-hour famine June 8, raising $2,184 to be divided equally between the Vernon food bank and Operation Smile.

Teacher and viceprincipal Rita Tedesco said students had to raise a minimum of $25 each, collecting pledges

Late French immersion students at Harwood are all smiles after taking part in the school’s 12-hour famine, raising $2,184 to be divided equally between the Vernon food bank and Operation Smile. from family members and friends and spreading awareness about hunger.

“Part of our curriculum is to study global citizenship, so we looked at countries around the world and in comparing ours to others, they see that we are very fortunate as a nation,” said Tedesco.

“But we also see that we need to help folks in our own community and through this project, we can experience for a short time what it feels like to be without.”

The entire Grade 6 class and nine Grade 7 LFI students were permitted to have water and juice but no food during the event, which ran from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

This is the seventh year for the fundraiser at Harwood, although in past years, students have taken part in a 24-hour famine.

Students must decide on the charities that will receive the funds, researching and making a case for their favourite.

“They have to research a variety of charities that are Canadian-based but help out around the world, and once they’ve completed their research, they present it to their classmates, we have a class discussion and decide where the money will go,” said Tedesco. “We do a 50/50 split because it’s a way of recognizing that there are problems around the world, but to completely ignore our own community would be wrong.”

Tedesco said she was impressed with the initiative shown by her students, many of

whom made posters, brochures and anything else they could think of to ensure “their” charity was selected.

“They can become quite invested in this,” she said. “And when we do the famine itself, we talk about what it’s like to feel hungry. Around 6 or 7 p.m., students really start to feel it and I ask them to imagine what it would be like to live with hunger every day.”

Activities are organized to help take students’ mind off their growling stomachs, such as playground activities and Xbox, all of which are also designed to demonstrate how difficult it is to perform physical tasks on an empty stomach.

For Grade 6 student Richard Harrison, his hypoglycemia meant the 12-hour famine was particularly challenging and he looked forward to enjoying a light meal afterwards.

“I was upset and a broken-down wretch at the end,” he said, adding that he was happy to tuck into his bowl of cereal and glass of orange juice as soon as he arrived home.

Grade 6 students Megan Loland and Elise Parsonage came up with the idea of fundraising for Operation Smile, an international children’s medical charity working

in more than 60 countries that provides safe, effective reconstructive surgery for children born with facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate.

“My dad told me about Operation Smile and I looked it up on the computer and it touched our hearts because they do so much to help kids,” said Megan.

Since 1982, Operation Smile — through the help of medical volunteers — has provided more than two million patient evaluations and more than 200,000 free surgeries for children and young adults born with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities. In some places these children are shunned and in many cases, their parents can’t afford to give them the surgeries they need to live a normal life.

And, while the girls were thrilled to be able to help their charity, both admit they were also happy when the famine ended and they were able to eat: quesadillas for Megan, and a large slice of cake for Elise.

Tedesco adds that the LFI program at Harwood, which begins in Grade 6, still has space available for September.

NOW HIRING!

Boaters will be the target of a new program this year to try and prevent invasion of two alien mussel species into B.C. waters, the quagga and zebra mussel.

Adele Brick is a student in the Water Engineering Technology program at Okanagan College and she will be travelling around the valley this summer to help educate people about these prolific, toxic invasive species.

“One female quagga or zebra mussel can produce a million young up to four times a year,” explained Brick.

Zebra mussels will attach themselves to anything aquatic, including the props of boats, water pipes, storm sewers, wharves and boats.

Perfect for getting out of the city

Although the adult mussel is only about the size of your thumbnail, the young are microscopic and free swimming, so they can attach themselves to anything in the water and you wouldn’t even notice them at first, she explains.

However, in no time, they can get into water intakes, clog up pumps or boat motors and cause devastating damage.

“Some cities have to spend millions of dollars cleaning up as a result of these infestations,” Brick said.

So far, they haven’t been detected this far west, but from Ontario east, waters are infested with them, so the likelihood of them being brought here in a visitor’s boat is of grave concern, she said.

Washington State is also free of them so far, but they have been detected in boats entering that state, bound for B.C., noted Brick.

“We don’t want them here,” she said emphatically.

Her work helping to educate people about the mussels and other invasive aquatic species is BLACK PRESS PHOTO part of an Okanagan Basin Water Board Okanagan College student contract with the Adele Brick offers floating South Okanagan- keychain reminders and Similkameen Invasive informative carabiners to Plant Society, with encourage boaters to help financial assistance prevent an infestation of from the Canada two new invasive mussel Summer Jobs pro- species. gram.

She will work throughout the valley this summer encouraging boaters to clean, drain and dry their boats and equipment before entering another lake, she said.

These invasive mussels can live for up to a month in a very small amount of water, so it’s really important that all the little crevices, wells or bilges in boats are cleaned thoroughly each time the equipment is used.

Native mussels in this region do not attach themselves to anything, so you can be confident if a mussel is attached to a hard surface that it’s not a native mussel, she said.

As well as the economic and environmental damage they do, these invasive mussels expel a substance that can cause toxic blue green algae blooms in lakes, and they can foul beaches by infesting them, creating sharp surfaces which will cut the feet, then the smell of decaying flesh.

Either drain every part of your boat for at least five days in the sun, or pressure wash it in hot water.

Brick will be taking her message to farmers’ markets, boat shows, boat launches and other public places where she will also be handing out floating key chain reminders, and carabiners with tags describing a number of aquatic invasive species of concern.

In order to try and prevent these species from getting a toehold here, everyone has to work together to keep their boats clean and free of them; and to prevent transporting them from one body of water to another.

News Ski areas working together Morning Star Staff

There is unprecedented co-operation between Silver Star Mountain Resort and Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre.

For the first time ever, the two nordic operators will now provide a dual area crosscountry trail pass and co-host early-season cross-country camps.

“Local skiers, visiting guests, teams and associations have all been waiting for this to happen for years,” said Guy Paulsen, Silver Star’s nordic manager.

This step now places the combined network as the largest groomed cross-country trail system in Western Canada and the second largest in the country.

Skiers can now access a combined 105 kilometres of groomed and track-set trails on one pass.

“Together, we can truly offer a world-class experience,” said Scott Lemon, Sovereign Lake’s general manager.

The four early-season camps will be held in November and early December.

Registration for the camps and sales of the dual area passes starts Aug. 1.

Shamrock duo shoots down Cats Morning Star Staff

Brett Hawrys and Owen Barker have been deadly for the Armstrong Shamrocks all season.

The Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League snipers continued that trend in Game 1 of the postseason, combining for 11 points in a 12-9 win over the host Vernon Re/Max Tigers Wednesday night at Wesbild Centre.

Barker, who finished third in regular-season scoring with 50 points in 11 games, collected four goals and two assists, while Hawrys, the scoring leader with 84 points in 13 games, scored once in each period and supplied two helpers.

The best-of-five semifinal series shifts to Nor-Val Sports Centre for Game 2 Saturday night (7:30). Game 3 is slated for Tuesday at Wesbild, and if necessary, Games 4 and 5 would be Thursday at Nor-Val and Saturday, July 14 at Wesbild respectively.

If the Cats want to rebound in this series, head coach Myles Brumpton knows those two will have to be contained. “We were not as cohesive as a defence unit as we have been all year by allowing two players basically dictate the outcome of the game,� he said. “The boys know they need to focus on Barker and Hawrys. If we take them off their game, the Rocks’ offensive depth drops off after that. “The silver lining in the loss is that it is a five-game series and it will

turn it into a war of attrition.�

Rounding out the Armstrong attack were Drew Hassard, with 2+1, Joel Castle, with 1+2, and Kyle Versteeg and Daniel Petersen each adding singles.

Ryan Landels led Vernon’s offence with a hat trick and two assists. Mike Quarin (2+1), Jordan Orr (2), Craig Bigsby and Midget call-up Liam Drabiuk also got in on the scoring.

Brett Hanna and Nolan Frame each chipped in with two helpers, while Austin Lewarne, Matt Kolb and Sam Oliver each had one.

The Tigers were the least penalized team in the regular season, but earned a minor in the opening minute and had trouble staying out of the box after that. “Right out of the gate we had no flow to our game,� said Brumpton. “Although the penalty minutes were even (25 minutes apiece) for both teams, we did not capitalize on our opportunities whereas the Rocks did by scoring six powerplay goals to our one. “I thought our guys were gripping their sticks a little too tight all night and uncharacteristically dropped balls, threw bad passes and hit 10 posts over the course of the game.�

In the other Junior B semifinal, the powerhouse Kamloops Venom doubled the South Okanagan Flames of Penticton 14-7 Tuesday night at Kamloops Memorial Arena.

Game 2 goes tonight at Kelowna Memorial.

Medhurst gives Armstrong quick start in Shaw Cup Morning Star Staff

Jarrett Medhurst fired four goals as the Armstrong Shamrocks stuffed the Kamloops Rattlers 9-5 in Game 1 of their Shaw Cup Senior C men’s lacrosse playoff semifinal Wednesday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. “Our team was a little banged up going in, however the guys played with a lot of heart and earned a lot of respect from me tonight,� said Armstrong head coach Glenn (Stumpy) Mitchell.

The teams go at it again tonight (8:00) in Kamloops at Memorial Arena. If necessary, Game 3 would go same time Sunday night

in Armstrong.

Medhurst’s teammates had barely settled onto the bench when he jumpstarted the Armstrong attack at the 14-second mark.

Kamloops replied when Russ McIntosh cut across the top and found the net on a behind-the-back shot. Darren Kirby put the Rocks ahead on a solo effort, bulling his way to the net to put one by keeper Mike Smith.

Goals by Medurst and Kamloops’ JJ Woldum, going shortside with just seconds on the clock, made it 3-2 at the break.

The Rattlers equalized on a Woldum powerplay tally three minutes into the second

frame, but the Rocks surged ahead again as netminder Chad Pieper delivered a long pass to Jamie Cockerill for a shorthanded strike.

Consecutive goals by Medhurst and a single from Milan Marcetta extended the host’s lead, but Kamloops came back on a seeing eye shot by Liam Hagerty.

Kamloops switched goalies before the break, only to have Cockerill welcome relief goalie Stu Ford with his second goal of the night.

Singles by Kamloops’ Nate Woldum and Marcetta capped the scoring in the third period.

Mitchell credited the Burton boys, Sam and Luke, for their best games of the year on defence, saying: “It’s their rookie year and they have both came a long way since the start of the year. We will need another good team effort on Friday if we want to win the series.�

Kamloops outshot Armstrong 44-41, while the Rocks took 28 penalty minutes to the Rattlers’ eight.

Meanwhile, the Vernon Tigers visited the Kelowna Raiders for Game 1 of their semifinal series Thursday night at Memorial Arena.

Game 2 of that series returns to Wesbild Saturday night (7:30).

Collins enjoys ultimate experience GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Andy Collins had just one ultimate tournament title to his credit before 2008.

His second one was a world championship.

Collins, who started playing ultimate in his former hometown of North Bay, Ont. in 1995, is headed back to the world — Andy stage with his team, Vancouver’s Furious George, in Osaka, Japan to defend its crown.

The competition, sanctioned by the World Flying Disc Federation, started Thursday, with Canada

in a pool with Finland, Mexico, Colombia and Phillipines.

“It’s been quite the experience, but I’m sure this will be my last worlds,” said the 36-year-old real estate agent, who has travelled with Furious all over North America, and once to Columbia.

Collins first got on the Vancouver team’s radar in 2007 while he played with a Calgary club team Collins called Invictus. They added him for their world cup run.

“What a great year to play and win a world title in Vancouver,” said Collins, who was surprised by the physical demands of playing

“It’s been quite the experience.”

NOTICE OF POWER INTERRUPTION LUMBY AND CHERRYVILLE

BC Hydro contractor, Advanced Powerlines Ltd., will be conducting maintenance work on the distribution system from April 16th to August 31, 2012.

Areas affected are: Hwy 6 starting at Duremeadow Rd., East end of Creighton Valley Rd., Trinity Valley Rd., Albers Rd., Mabel Lake Rd., Sugar Lake Rd., and surrounding areas.

in international competition.

“In 2008, I really had no idea.

When it is a true world year, you play two games a day, which is different for us.”

Furious George flew out Tuesday to give the team a few extra practice days overseas, and a chance to adjust to the time change. Compared to 2008, where the team could simply rent a hotel in downtown Vancouver and commute to UBC every day, Collins says planning for the Japan tour has been a challenge.

“The logistics of trying to get to the fields is proving to be a different experience for us. It’s been a daunting task.”

Furious George selected its world roster at a tryout in early April on the coast.

They have since held training camps in Kelowna and Vancouver, and competed in a tournament.

With half the 2008 squad retiring, and a mandate to recruit five out-of-region players, the national team will have a completely different look heading into Japan.

“It doesn’t really affect team chemistry,” said Collins.

“We get together quite a bit.”

Just like in 2008, the U.S. entry is heavily favoured to win, but Collins says anything can happen.

“They’re a powerhouse, but it’s attainable if we can get to the finals,” said Collins, noting Japan is ranked third.

“At nationals last year (in Ottawa), we were down three

points and we came back to win, which is kind of unheard of. We had a bunch of games like that last year.

“Our talent from top to bottom is very similar. We can role out people that are working very hard and just getting the job done.”

Ultimate is a fast-paced, noncontact field sport that mixes elements of soccer, basketball, football and netball. Staying true to the sport’s roots, games, even at the world championships, are selfofficiated.

Collins says the sport has come a long way since he started playing. It is the fastest growing youth

sport in North America, with more than 60 Vancouver-area high schools now fielding teams.

For the last three years, Collins has coached Lumby’s Charles Bloom Timberwolves, winners of the last two North Zone titles.

“They’re coming along well; first year I don’t think we won a game,” said Collins, who took the team to a Seattle tourney earlier this year to compete against higher-calibre teams.

Anyone interested in learning about ultimate should the Vernon Ultimate Facebook page. The club holds open sessions Mondays at Polson Park, at 5:30 p.m.

Vernon’s Andy Collins, playing with Vancouver-based Furious George, hauls in a disc in ultimate action.

Vernon teen Mackenzie Barrie shared 24th spot entering third-round action Thursday in the B.C. Golf Women’s Amateur and Mid-Amateur Championships at Christina Lake.

Barrie, 16, carded an opening round 76 Tuesday and followed up with a 79 Wednesday. The 54-hole event ends today. Barrie was just one stroke out of the top-20 in the field of 61.

Hot weather Wednesday gave Christine Wong of Richmond a chance to post a three-under-par 69, 139 total (70-69-139) to take the overall championship lead by one stroke.

Wong, an upcoming senior at San Diego State University and Team Canada member, had an uneventful outward nine only to light up the back, going four-under-par on her final five holes, including an eagle and two birdies.

First round leader A. Ram Choi of Surrey struggled on the day compared to round one, posting a one-over-par 73, 140 total (67-73-140) to drop down into a tie for second along with Port Coquitlam’s Soo-Bin Kim and Kelowna’s Kyla Inaba.

Kim posted her second straight two-under-par 70, capped by the tourney’s first eagle on the par-5, 430-yard 15th hole. The only other player in the field to accomplish this task not long after Kim was Wong. Kim’s two-round total 70-70-140 gave her

great positioning going into the third round.

Inaba rounded out the trio sitting at tied for second in the overall championship thanks to a steady one-under-par 71, 140 total (69-71). Inaba, leader of the Mid-Amateur division following the first round, maintained her two-stroke lead in the division over Port Alberni’s Christina Proteau, who matched her own opening round 71 for a two round total of 142.

Crowe second at Gallagher’s Jesse Crowe of Canoe Creek (Salmon Arm) tied for second spot in the pro category of the Gallagher’s Canyon Ladies Pro-Am Wednesday.

Crowe, who pocketed $1,300 in the Fairview Mountain Pro-Am last weekend, shot a 66 to finish a stroke back of Kelowna Golf & Country Club’s Rob Anderson.

Crowe, Josh Fleming of Gallagher’s, Brodie Carle of Two Eagles in West Kelowna and Russ Latimer of Black Mountain in Kelowna each earned $600, while Anderson banked $1,500.

Myles Johnson of Spallumcheen carded a 68 to tie for seventh and take home $175.

Tara Roden of Gallagher’s led her team to first place ahead of Flemming’s entry.

Keith Vandenbrink of Hillview guided his team to fourth spot. Sandra Bradley, Betty Murray and Betty Tate supported Vandenbrink.

NET stifles Surveyors Morning Star Staff

The North Enderby Timber celebrated the fourth of July by stuffing Monashee Surveying 5-1 in North Okanagan Soccer League action Wednesday night at Marshall Field #1.

NET welcomed back Brent Poulsen with a Sleeman’s Man of the Match performance as he scored two beautiful goals. He opened the scoring in the 10th minute after volleying a cross from birthday boy Colby Buckham. Buckham used a smart first touch to deke past Chandler Marsh before finding Poulsen at the penalty spot.

NET went ahead 2-0 at 23 minutes after Graham Ross played a through ball to a streaking Corey Wallis.

Monashee keeper Pete Solymosi got a good piece of the ball but it slowly trickled over the goal line.

Three minutes later, a foul inside the 18 led to Jobie Waughman penalty goal and a 3-0 lead. With five minutes left in the first half, Poulsen capitalized again after pushing the ball past a couple defenders and neatly placing a curling ball over Solymosi into the far post, top corner.

Brodie Couch capped the Timber offence with 20 minutes remaining with a 25-yard, bar-down cracker.

Rodney Goodchild finally responded for Monashee with five minutes remaining. A loose ball was cleared out of the 18 by a Timber defender and struck Goodchild in the head. The ball popped up and snuck just under the post.

NET (6-2-2) controlled the majority of the play and only gave up a few chances to Monashee, playing a calm, smart game. Monashee dipped to 4-3-3.

Monashee gave props to Solymosi, who stayed positive while NET kept peppering the net.

Independence Day fireworks also showed up at Marshall #4 as the Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels FC ambushed the Salmon Arm Outlaws 7-1.

The 1-8 Outlaws made it difficult for the 5-3-2 Camels to impose themselves early on. It took about 20 minutes for the fuse to ignite when Keenan Jespersen raced past the Outlaw defence onto a through ball and slotted it passed the diving keeper.

Within five minutes, Khiran O’Neill pressed into the box from right wing, and after a return pass from Jespersen, slipped it into the net from 10 yards out.

Confidence was high with the orange team, but

the Outlaws stepped up their play and started creating some chances. After a shot from the right wing beat Camels’ keeper Sean Campbell, Damian Adams cleared it off the line only for the ball to rebound off Keefery Joyce’s back to the waiting striker who converted from six yards out.

In the second half, Ryan Campbell, trying his luck up front, waited for support to arrive from Trevor Rachwalski, who in turn made a square pass inside to Fabrice Fanfani. Fanfani turned inside, around one defender, skipped by another and drove a fierce shot from outside the box. Father Phil Fanfani acknowledged the skill with a wry smile.

Jespersen picked up his second from the penalty spot after being taken down in the box.

Nick Pantaleo then delivered a ball over the defence for Nathan Whitling, who took a one-touch before smashing it into the corner. Fanfani picked up his second by stripping the Outlaws’ keeper and chipping the ball into the net from long distance.

Andrew Pecnya rounded out the attack from an O’Neill pass in the dying moments. Ben Osborn and Brian Arquilla played solid as fullbacks, supporting the wing play throughout the game.

Turn-Key Controls lost 3-0 to the host Revelstoke Stallions.

Turn-Key (5-4-1) came out strong in the first 15 minutes but were unable to convert on any of their chances before falling behind 1-0 on a well-placed free kick.

Trailing 1-0 at the half, the Controls squad were unable to mount a comeback in the second half, with the best chance going to Evan Moore, who beat the 5-2-2 Revelstoke keeper but not the right defender who stopped a clear goal with a hand ball in the box which resulted in a red card and missed penalty kick from Turn-Key. Concept Physio and Davidson & Co. Dynamite battled to a 2-2 draw at Marshall #2.

The Nitros (2-7-2) opened the scoring in the first half and Concept equalized when Axel Chinyanata scored on a penalty kick in the second half. Mike Conlin made it 2-1 Concept a little later.

Davidson scored in the 89th minute when a defensive clearing deflected off a Davidson player right to the open striker who pushed it past keeper Riley Spraggs. Concept is 0-7-3.

The St. Albert Cardinals stopped the Vernon Canadians 6-3 Monday in the finals of the Kamloops Sussex Insurance Mosquito All-Star Baseball Tournament.

Maguire Lauridsen drove in Carter Morris, while game MVP Eric Foufoulas hit an RBIsingle to score Ryan Gamage and Brayden Beacom knocked in Jackson Soucy for Vernon’s runs.

Koll Cherkowski started on the mound for Vernon and went three innings. He also made a great double play with a catch on the mound and a quick throw to Chase Batchelor at first base.

Batchelor replaced Cherkowski on the hill early in the fourth.

The Canadians rallied to shade the Spruce Grove Sox 5-4 in semifinal play.

Down by a run in their half of the sixth, game MVP Caden Colmorgen nailed a two-run single, bringing home Batchelor and Morris. The C’s got two big strikeouts from Morris in the top of the inning.

Colmorgen earlier singled in Batchelor, while Gamage struck out one batter in the third, shutting down Spruce Grove with only eight pitches.

Gamage mowed down two batters in the fourth, while Morris hit a double to centre field and scored on a double

by Gamage. Soucy then drove in Cherkowski with a slide just under the tag.

Vernon opened the Canada Day tournament by losing 5-3 to the Cardinals 5-3 with Batchelor taking MVP. The C’s then ambushed Spruce Grove 13-4 with Morris amazing at shortstop and smashing two doubles to earn MVP. Cherkowski collected three ribbies, while Foufoulus and Lauridsen each had two.

Vernon, a AA class team, then outlasted the Kamloops AAA River Dogs 9-8 with Lauridsen named MVP

for stellar pitching, one RBI and one run stealing home.

Infielders Lincoln Connor and Landen Harison enjoyed superb outings with both players walking home in the sixth. Morris, who hit a two-run double, swiped home for the winning run.

Little Tex snaps soccer drought Morning Star Staff

The Little Tex Outlaws decided July was a perfect month to end their winless streak.

The struggling Outlaws got a huge effort from everybody as they edged Glenn Power 2-1 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 1 play Tuesday night at Marshall Field #4.

Jordan Mercer and Jenn Knop were tireless as central defenders, getting strong support from Stacey Cover, Lisa Stewart and Kristy Anderson. The Salmon Arm crew’s goal came in the last five minutes.

Kristy Anderson scored Little Tex’s first goal on a long ball that sailed in over the Glenn Power’s keeper’s head.

Stephanie Conti was tireless in the middle with many scoring chances and one that finally paid off with the winner.

Kira Lee had a great game setting up several Outlaw scoring chances. Midfielders Christine Fraser and Eileina Huisken sent many through balls and great crosses to set up forwards Lee and Candace Lipiski.

Keeper Eileen Fox had another strong game for the Outlaws (3-51). She came out hard and stopped the few shots the speedy Salmon Arm 2-4-3) forwards registered.

Dr. Lee Dental Clinic remained undefeated with a 3-1 victory over the AF Blazers at Marshall #3.

Veteran striker Krista Ference knocked in a beautiful cross from Carissa Morneau to give the Blazers an early lead as Dr. Lee started with 10 players.

Minutes later, Morneau used some fancy foot work to beat the Dr Lee’s defence, but shot just wide. After Dr Lee’s 11th player arrived, the defensive battle began.

Speedy sweeper Amber Maltman excelled for the Blazers while keeper Jeanette Maleska made several brilliant saves.

Andi King, from Jacquie Hansen, equalized five minutes before the half. Both teams were held at bay with great calls from the two linesmen.

With 11 players to start the second half, the Floss crew threatened on numerous occasions only to be turned away by Maleska.

With 14 minutes left, the Blazer defence switched off a few minutes and King set up Ally Dodds, then Dodds returned the favour with a give-and-go which King finished low, corner.

Wendy’s Lady of the Match Stephanie Wilson had her best game of the year, running miles in the midfield, while Margo Fleming, Kim Teichman and Loren Brunelle stayed strong in front of Lisa Arrotta, as the Dental gang improved to 9-0-1.

Kailee Streichert and Marjorie Boisvert had several quality scoring chances for the Blazers (0-7-2).

In Masters Division play, the Controllers shaded the Vernon Square Liquor Store NOU 1-0.

Eleven minutes in, the Controllers’ Felicia O’Gorman cracked one from 22 yards out that keeper Darlene Weiss just got a piece of to knock over the bar at Marshall #2. Michele Wernicke pounded a 25 yarder, off a set play, which Weiss got her foot on to knock it past the post.

At the half, the Controllers lost three defenders to prior commitments but they managed to patch up the back line with some super fit substitutes.

Jenny Currie and Deanna Baker were terrific additions to the back

While Val Percy was off getting her haircut, her replacement Baker fed Ang Durfeld on the right side. Durfeld’s through ball put Emma Louis in alone.

The streaking Louis had no problem beating Weiss, ripping a 20-yarder inside the post with 15 minutes left.

Amy Shupe, Krista Backer, and Michelle Mercer had strong games up front for the 6-2-2 Controllers, while the tandem of Leslie Epp and Wernicke rose to the challenge defensively. Keeper Mickey Templeton had some anxious moments, but for the most part, was very tidy to earn the shutout.

Dawn Lemiski returned from injury to set up two goals as the

Longhorn Impact grounded Seasons Sistas 3-0 at Marshall #1.

Lemiski jumpstarted the offence with a nice tap-in pass to Tina Garrison, who buried it top right corner. The second goal was not so pretty as Lemiski miskicked a shot and it landed at Janelle Smithson’s foot. The red-hot Smithson craftly turned and shot low to the right corner.

The third goal came in the final minute after a hand ball was called inside the 18. Minda Chittenden converted the penalty shot.

Longhorn’s most improved player, Reena Leupin ,made several swift runs and intelligent passes, while strong defence was turned in by Suzie Andrews and Jody Hawthorne. The Impact are 4-0-2

The Sistas (0-10-1) had several near misses but couldn’t make one count. Ever relentless sweeper Sherry Wiebe foiled Impact attacks again and again. Eddie Ramsey of the Impact was unable to shake Keri Storey for most of the second half.

Breakaways by Becky Birbilis, Kim Sylvester, Shannon Walton, Andrea Zubot and Sacha Schenker resulted in several near misses.

Kateri Mills was invaluable with strong throw-ins and free kicks.

The Surrey United held off the Thompson Okanagan FC 1-0 Sunday in the EA Sports B.C. Soccer Premier League Under 13 Boys playoff final in Richmond.

TOFC stared well and absorbed a lot of pressure from a well organized first-place Surrey team.

Vernon’s Taitum MacAulay pulled off an excellent early save and pushed a powerful shot over the bar to safety.

Connor Glennon of Vernon delivered a good corner into the heart of the Surrey box where Sam MacDonald scrambled with the defence and managed to get a shot on goal only to have it saved by the keeper.

TOFC won a free kick and Mitch Morgan headed the ball to Glennon for a breakaway. His shot just eased over the bar.

“Surrey changed their formation after the half and came out with 3-4-3,” said TOFC assistant coach Darren Wimbleton. “TOFC continued where

they had left off from the first half and made it extremely difficult to be broken down.

“It would take either a stoke of excellence or luck to decide this game and that is exactly what happened with Surrey winning the ball on the edge of the box and hitting a superb strike beating Taitum and giving them the lead.

“TOFC gave an outstanding performance and battled to the end but was unable to clinch the cup.”

In addition to MacAulay, Wimbleton praised Tim Sollinger of Vernon, MacDonald and Turner Woodruff as stars of the game for TOFC.” Mees Gerlaken and Jared Quibel of Vernon also played for TOFC. Surrey went undefeated in the regular season, beating TOFC twice by one goal.

The Premier league is the highest level of youth soccer in the province.

Shaun Flanagan of Kelowna is head coach of TOFC.

Should a suitable site for a septic field be found, the plant could operate at optimal capacity. As it is now, nearby residents occasionally get a whiff of unpleasantness.

District staff explained the occasional odours were a function of not enough volume of waste at the plant.

The question becomes where to locate a septic field for effluent in Oyama to utilize the existing plant capacity.

“I don’t know what the alternatives that can facilitate the site are,” said Dickie.

“That is something that requires engineering. But we are looking for something that is reasonable, managed and cannot compromise the lifestyle of existing homeowners.

We are looking for a co-operative approach to solve the issues of an absorption field.”

Local resident Peter Withers pointed out that the site could have long-term benefits to the overall development of Oyama. “We need more homes for families in Oyama.”

Wither explained the difference between effluent and sludge, saying effluent treatment is, “used all over the world.”

Dickie reiterated several other problems with the site including the clay band ‘capping’ the site and the known history of septic field failures at the site in the past.

Dickie acknowledged the Oyama treatment plant has the capacity to service more homes.

Elizabeth Greenhow no pushover

A

fter the death of her husband, Thomas Greenhow, in 1889, Elizabeth Greenhow was determined to carry on with the operation of the ranch.

In the male-dominated society of the 1890s, she had to struggle to establish herself as a serious woman of business. Her first test came in 1892 when she took the Shuswap and Okanagan Railway to

court and filed for arbitration as the railway (along east side of Swan Lake) cut off 38.7 acres of her land.

After a prolonged battle she settled for $75 an acre. This case served notice to all local businessmen that Elizabeth Greenhow was not a woman to be trifled with.

With this challenge out of the way, Elizabeth looked at fulfilling her long-time dream to build a suitable house in which to raise her children.

She commissioned an architect, GW Ken Mather Grant of New Westminster to design a three-storey Queen Anne style mansion, described by the Vernon

RANCH TALES

News as “one of the finest (if not the finest) in the upper country.” The completed mansion had a fireplace in every room and cost in the range of $10,000, a fortune in those days.

The lovely home, situated about 50 metres from the attractive O’Keefe mansion, built in 1886, did little to lessen the competitive feelings between Elizabeth and her uncle, Cornelius O’Keefe.

In 1894, Elizabeth, in partnership with Vernon’s first settler, Luc Girouard, subdivided some of her property on the north edge of Vernon into half-acre lots.

The following year, Luc Girouard passed away and his brother, Theo Girouard, negotiated a settlement with Elizabeth.

The local paper reported, “Mr. Girouard desires us to state that though he has always found it a matter of difficulty to do business with a lady, in this case he was met in a most liberal and businesslike manner.”

Elizabeth, along with Mary Ann O’Keefe and such notable women as Lady Aberdeen, was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of the Vernon Jubilee Hospital in 1897. She even offered free property on which to build the hospital but her land was considered too far from

town.

After construction of the hospital, she was a frequent donor of financial assistance and farm produce to the project and, for a time, served as one of the directors of the hospital.

By the early 1900s, land around Vernon was in great demand for sub-division into orchards.

After holding out for some time as prices escalated, Elizabeth and Cornelius O’Keefe sold off the majority of their vast holdings to the Land and Agricultural Company of Canada.

This transaction netted Elizabeth $315,000, a fortune in a day when labourers made $1 a day, and ensured that Elizabeth would have financial stability for the rest of her life.

Always a devoted mother to her two children, Thomas Junior and Mary Victoria, Elizabeth had them placed in a Catholic boarding school in California for their education.

Her frequent trips to visit them convinced her that California would be a wonderful place to retire.

In 1926, she left her beloved mansion and retired to sunny California to finish out her days.

She died in 1941 at the age of 87.

Ken Mather is curator at O’Keefe Ranch in Spallumcheen.

Cadet returns as instructor

Exceptional value

Special to The Morning Star

There’s been a blast from the past at the Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre.

Olaf Furuness, quarter master senior instructor, was settling into his new office for the summer, when he discovered a series of photographs from 1989 in one of the folders in a filing cabinet.

And to his amazement, he found himself in the photos.

“I never imagined that I would find myself 23 years later in a photograph in some obscure file,” he said.

In 1989, Furuness was a cadet in 2422 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps in Nanaimo when he had the opportunity to come to the Vernon camp for a sixweek cadet leader instructor course.

It was during this time that the photographs were taken.

Following his cadet career, Furuness joined the Canadian Scottish Regiment as a reserve force member, where he remained for five years before joining the Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infantry in Edmonton as a regular force member.

During this summer, more than 1,100 army, sea and air cadets from Western Canada will spend up to six weeks in Vernon, expanding the training they receive at their home corps,

Trinity Valley Road residents Sondra Haglund and John Watters, along with their 14-year-old Percherons, Spar and Jackie, helped the Enderby and District Lions Club log some trees.

Horses aid Enderby Lions Morning Star Staff

Lions turned to horses to help finish an Enderby service club project.

The challenge facing the Enderby and District Lions Club was a daunting one.

Joan and Brian Glanfield had felled about 20 trees on their Glenmary Road property and offered the wood to the Lions Club, who accepted the challenge of getting the 45, 20-foot logs to a landing on the property.

The Lions then enlisted the services of Sondra Haglund and John Watters, who live and farm on Trinity Valley Road, and two 14-year-old Percheron horses named Spar and Jackie.

Lions Club members Vic Aube, Gordon Healey, and John Pavelich were there to help where they could, and to witness the expert horsemanship of Haglund and Watters and their trusty steeds as they brought the logs up a challenging incline.

“This was the first time I’ve ever logged by committee, and would strongly recommend it,” said Pavelich who, along with his club members, were impressed with the way the couple worked the team

and how well they responded to their gentle but firm commands.

The Lions Club was very grateful when Watters announced that were donating their services.

Vernon’s Christie Stewart gets closer to the merry old land of Oz as a top 20 finalist in CBC’s Over the Rainbow talent contest.

KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff

You could say that Vernon’s Christie Stewart is over the rainbow with excitement.

The Kalamalka Secondary School grad recently found out she has been selected as one of 20 young women to vie for the part of Dorothy in the upcoming Andrew Lloyd Webber production of The Wizard of Oz, which is scheduled to open at Toronto’s Ed Mirvish Theatre in December, 2012.

It’s all part of CBC TV’s new reality show, Over the Rainbow, where judges, including those from Canada’s top theatre circles as well as musical giant himself, Webber, will select who will play the girl from Kansas.

The show follows on the heels of 2008’s CBC reality talent show, How Do you Solve a Problem like Maria?, which featured the search for Maria for The Sound of Music.

That part, coincidently, was won by a B.C. resident, Surrey’s Elicia MacKenzie, who has gone on to star in the Toronto production of Rock of Ages.

Stewart, who is about to enter her fourth year of acting specialization at the University of Victoria, first heard about the Vancouver audition for Over the Rainbow on Facebook. “It was very last minute. Someone had posted an ad about it on the UVic theatre page.

I thought ‘wouldn’t that be so great?’�

Becoming Dorothy is a dream for and I sang a song I had prepared. Then she Stewart who played the part of the Mayor had me sing Over the Rainbow.

She again sang Over the Rainbow, and her Stewart was one of approximately 200 own selected piece The Trolley Song, made females who initially auditioned for Over the famous by Dorothy herself, Judy Garland, in Rainbow in Vancouver.

She asked me about myself, sion. Then he said ‘You’re in the top 20.’

“I don’t cry often, but I did this time.�

“I don’t cry often, but I did this time.�

Now back in Victoria, Stewart has a month to prepare for the next round, when the potential Dorothys will return to Toronto. Ten will then be selected to appear in the televised version of the contest, airing in September.

With the physical demands that will be expected of her, Stewart is currently looking to take dance lessons, under the recommendation of the judges, and is running and biking. She is also keeping her vocal cords in shape by singing every day.

She is already registered for UVic in the fall, and says whatever happens, she is grateful for the opportunity and experience. “This is exactly what I want to do with my life,� she said. “Definitely, my love and wish is to be in musicals.�

Here in Vernon, Stewart’s family, including mother Kerrie, father Cal and sisters Lisa and Stephanie, who have also been longtime musical theatre students in Lights of Broadway, will be rooting for her, along with her top cheerleader. “Christie has the it factor for theatre and when she takes to the stage to act or opens her mouth to sing it is pure magic,� said Van Gameren. “I am extremely proud and not at all surprised by her success. She is gifted, determined and grounded, the perfect combination for success.�

Artists take it to the streets New downtown Vernon initiative brings sights and sounds to 30th Avenue every Friday Morning Star Staff

Get ready for more live entertainment downtown.

With the success of the free Thursday night concert series Civic Sounds during the summer months, the Downtown Vernon Association is also bringing musicians and visual artists to perform and paint along 30th Avenue every Friday through July and August from 5:30 to 8 p.m.

Called Sights and Sounds Downtown, Okanagan-based musicians will perform live along Vernon’s main street, while visual artists will paint, draw and create their art, inviting passers-by to see their process and inspiration.

“Various genres of music will be featured on different blocks throughout the summer. Visitors can also stop to watch a local artist making their art right on the street,” said Holly Schmidt, DVA events and marketing coordinator, adding the majority of downtown businesses will be open late to accommodate shoppers and those wanting a bite to eat.

Musicians featured today are OMA, on the 2900-block, playing mostly instrumental reggae and ska rhythms; Tanya Lipscomb, 3000-block, performing original jazz, soul, blues, Latin, rock, folk, funk and trip-hop using her loop pedal for a full-band effect, and acoustic-based pop and rock musician David L’Hirondelle,

This teddy has a potty mouth Ted

hen he was a little boy, Jon Bennett (Mark Wahlberg) had as his only friend a stuffed bear named Ted. Although Ted could speak, it was only when squeezed that he might offer, “I love you,” out of a tinny speaker.

Little Jon Bennett wished that Ted could really talk and, as is prone to happen in Hollywood, his wish came true. Jon and Taylor & Howe Ted become best friends (and thunder buddies) forever, as well as minor celebrities, (Ted is, after all, a sentient teddy bear, voiced by Seth MacFarlane.)

Ted and Jon grow up together and the story resumes with them as “roommates” when Jon is 35, going nowhere fast. Jon’s girlfriend (Mila Kunis) wants him to lose the bear, thinking Ted is holding him back. Ted wants Jon to be happy so he’s sympathetic to his desires, willing to try life on his own. Yet Jon thinks of Ted more like a brother than a teddy bear, and losing him is like breaking up his family.

Can Jon keep Ted in his life while living up to his girlfriends’ expectations?

Will Ted keep getting promoted at work, surpassing Jon’s income? Most importantly, is the film funny?

We say, “It’s better than Family Guy, but for the same audience.”

TAYLOR: This film is about growing up. Sooner or later, you gotta put down the bong, get a haircut and a real job. (I mean, I guess you don’t have to, but most of us do.) The fact is, Ted could be about

REEL REVIEWS

UNIVERSAL PICTURES

Mark Wahlberg stars as Jon whose lifelong pal happens to be a trash talking teddy bear. any degenerate relative, friend or roommate. It’s only because he’s a teddy bear that we’re excited to see these same generation X shenanigans.

HOWE: I’m not a fan of the Family Guy, so my expectations for Ted weren’t that high. It’s not going to win any awards for comedy of the year, but having said that it does have its funny moments.

TAYLOR: I stopped watching Family Guy a few years ago, when I deemed it pointlessly crude, violent and no longer funny. Seth MacFarlane has a bad case of nostalgia for his own pop-culture memories, which reminds me of a time when jokes weren’t just references that made me ask, “where’s the beef?” Just because your observations are correct, doesn’t make them humorous.

HOWE: The way they brought Ted to life was good; no I don’t mean with the magic wish, I mean that he looked realistic. Well, as realistic as a talking teddy bear can get, I guess. Gone are the days of string to make a puppet move and a hand shoved up his bottom to make him talk.

TAYLOR: Gone too are the days of being impressed by effective CGI, if it’s not cutting the mustard, it’s just bad.

Ted gets a passing grade from me on all fronts, just barely. It’s formulaic juvenile tripe from the king of such things. If that’s your thing, you’ll like it.

Taylor gives Ted 2.5 fuzzy yawns out of 5.

Howe gives it 2.5 car rentals out of 5.

–– The feature is currently showing at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Musicians evoke those hippy days at Oyama orchard Morning Star Staff

The all-day, all-ages event takes place Sunday, July 15 at Gatzke Orchard, a setting that will rekindle the spirit of the 1969 festival, famed as much

for the hippy movement as the musicians who played there.

The show will feature some of the hottest talent from Western Canada playing the music from Woodstock.

“Renowned Vancouver guitarist Jason Buie has worked with Gatzke Orchard to create an event that is a guaranteed good time,” said William Holzer, event and marketing coordinator at Gatzke.

Other bands on the bill include Vancouver blues diva Ellie Johnson, Vernon’s LindaSue Wilson, Salmon Arm’s Dan Engelland, Kathy Frank, Bob Grant and special guests.

Attendees can wear their favourite hippy attire, with prizes given to the best dressed.

Camping on site is also offered for $10, with a pancake breakfast on the Monday morning for $7.

The event will also feature an arts and crafts fair, food and drink, and an all-star jam.

Gates open at noon and the show will go to midnight.

Support takes flight for Vernon pilot CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff

Friends are doing everything they can to help and encourage Eric Nolting.

Everything was going right for the 37-year-old father of two who had been with the love of his life, Shannon Walton, for 16 years.

He had finally achieved his goal of working as a pilot for Air Canada and had moved his family back to the Okanagan.

Then things went very wrong. Nolting went to his doctor for minor concerns and was diagnosed with stage four melanoma which had spread throughout his entire body. He was told he had only four to six months to live.

“Eric is now face to face with his own mortality,” said family friend Jessica Nobrega.

“This is heartbreaking news for this young, loving family. Amidst the heartbreak, positive news has come out. There is a new, experimental drug that Eric may be a candidate for.”

Nolting’s doctor is researching this possibility but the outcome is unknown and since Nolting has just started a new job and is still in a probationary position, his financial security is uncertain.

“With that in mind, it has become apparent that we need to pull together as a community, as human beings, as good Samaritans, as mothers, fathers, and individuals to help this amazing family in any way we can. We need Eric to focus on his recovery and family without worrying about financial strain,” said Nobrega.

There are two fundraisers planned. A

BIBLE BASICS

“The Lofty Looks of Man:” Isa. 2:11. God’s righteousness and majesty must remain supreme and His purpose must be fulÀlled. His judgments have a 2-fold purpose: 1st bring men to their senses, 2nd rooting out evil. Israel had forsaken God and God was about to forsake them. Moses warned: “They worship the work of their own hands.”

When man bows down to man the result is pride and haughtiness. But the day of God comes upon every one that is ‘proud and lofty’. Isa. 2:12.

estrogen, progesterone and testosterone). When your lab results come back there may be some glaring deficiencies, but more often test results tend to be mixed and require careful interpretation. Baseline measures establish a starting point for monitoring changes over time, but diagnosis and treatment are based more on your actual symptoms.

The goal is to use the smallest dose of hormone necessary to achieve optimum results.

This is accomplished by using physiological doses that mimic the amounts that your body would normally make.

A compounding pharmacist mixes the hormones together into a customized formulation to meet your specific needs. Bioidentical hormones are taken as topical creams you put on your skin, orally, and intravaginally as suppositories or cream. There is no one size fits all. Doses have to be closely monitored and adjusted to get the perfect outcome for

you. In addition, other factors such as diet, lifestyle and stress should be addressed to enhance hormone balancing.

Finding a physician knowledgeable about bio-identical hormones and experience diagnosing and treating women is critical. If the doctor has actually endured the symptoms herself and takes bioidentical hormones that’s a big bonus as she is practising what she preaches and knows first-hand what you are going through.

Bio-identical hormone therapy can increase your energy, improve sleep and rekindle your sex life. It brightens your mood and sharpens concentration and memory.

Unnecessary weight gain is controlled and that blazing inferno inside of you is put out. You don’t have to struggle with the symptoms of hormone imbalance.

Single mom needs strength

D

ear Annie: My daughter has been married to a drug abuser for 10 years. “Rob” can’t keep a job and sells everything on the premises for money to buy more drugs.

He even took his nine-year-old daughter with him to trade her TV and other electronics for narcotics.

Rob has been in rehab three times and makes lots of promises, but always goes back to the drugs. My daughter has a responsible job.

She has taken Rob’s name off of the Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar checking accounts and credit cards, and she hides her purse and jewelry every night.

She was unable to keep up the house payments, and they are in foreclosure.

She is currently living in an apartment, and Rob lives with his parents.

With my financial support, she has filed for divorce.

So far, I have given her more than $3,000. She lives in another state and has emotional support from her siblings and us by phone.

Here’s the problem. I feel like she is wavering.

She keeps talking about what a great

ANNIE'S MAILBOX

dad Rob is when he’s sober and how hard the separation has been on the kids. I know how difficult it is for her to be a single mom. But I have told her that if she does not go through with the divorce, I will not help her again. Is this too harsh?

I want to be there for her, but I have to work, and my income isn’t that big. Any advice on this situation? — Loving Mom, Disgusted Mother-in-Law Dear Mom: You are not obligated to support your daughter regardless of the circumstances, but we are certain your financial assistance helps her to manage as a single parent.

Still, she undoubtedly loves her husband and wants her children to have a full-time father.

And it’s easier to forget the hardships once you are separated from them.

Instead of issuing ultimatums, urge her to get into counseling to figure out why she continues to be drawn to someone so needy and incapable of being a true partner to her.

Help her to be stronger so her choices will be better.

Dear Annie: During the past year, I have noticed that my 73-year-old mother-in-law seems to be losing her memory and becoming very rattled.

She forgets where her son works, what day she is having dinner with us, and

Simply Ukrainian

where her grandchildren attend school, although she has been there a hundred times.

She writes everything down on pieces of paper that she sticks in her purse or strews about the house.

Her friends convinced her to see her internist, which she did.

He gave her a series of general questions, which she answered and from which he determined that she was absolutely fine. Mom was thrilled.

How can we get her to see another doctor when she is now convinced that she is perfectly healthy? We know something is going on, and it is just getting worse. — Want To Help Dear Want: Your mother’s doctor should have tested her for executive functioning, which is probably a different test than the one he administered.

However, it still may have been possible for her to pass any test if she was feeling OK that day and not under any stress.

Your mother could benefit from seeing a geriatrician, and we recommend you have a referral handy for the next time she is concerned enough about her memory that she is amenable.

name on file for your area.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Stand firm when you think your judgment is better than someone else’s. If you show that you believe in yourself, others will follow your lead.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your material aspirations are definitely reachable, all because you believe in yourself. Good, solid effort is not apt to go unrewarded.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Because you’re both a competent leader and an excellent organizer, you shouldn’t have any trouble rallying supporters to your cause. Establish the example, and they will follow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You’re likely to perform much better when you’re free from involvements with others and you can move at your own pace. Yielding to outside entanglements will set you back.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) One of the reasons you have so many friends is that you don’t hesitate to stand behind them when they need your support.

You might get a chance to demonstrate this quality.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Success is extremely likely when you operate in ways that allow you be ambitious and practical at the same time. You might get an opportunity to show your stuff.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You might have some doubts about your abilities when it comes to dealing with a difficult situation.

However, those with whom you’re involved know you are good at handling challenges.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Don’t hesitate seek help from someone whom you recently aided, if you’re in need of a special favor.

This person is eager to reciprocate any way he or she can.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Although you might prefer to do things on your own, you’ll produce your best work when teamed up with another.

You’ll actually feed off of what your counterpart accomplishes.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Even if certain objectives are far more difficult to achieve than usual, you’ll be so motivated to succeed, and you might not even notice all the complications involved.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If you recognize its shortcomings, something in which you’re presently involved can be improved upon. Once you make the changes, your situation will be greatly enhanced.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy.

What can I do?

A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

waterfalls, a number of persons in the group ventured beyond a trail safety barrier in order to take photos.

One man then went further and closer to the falls past a second barrier to another rock ledge.

“The lone male then turned to face the others in the group in preparation for a photo and slipped on the wet rock surface falling into the fast moving waters,” said Moskaluk. “The male was immediately swept away downstream and over a number of high waterfalls.”

The group descended back down the trail to the bottom of the falls in an attempt to rescue the man. They located him unresponsive in the calmer pools at the foot of the falls with their immediate efforts to revive the man being unsuccessful.

Chase RCMP detachment members and Victim Services were transported by RCMP Air Services helicopter to the area, and hiked into the remote location to effect a recovery.

The BC Coroners Service and Shuswap Search and Rescue also attended the remote site and assisted with the recovery of the deceased man.

Protecting the environment

T

here has been some misinformation circulating regarding Bill C-38, the Budget Implementation Act, and I would like to take this opportunity to clarify details on the matter.

Our government is still committed to maintaining the same rigorous environmental protection that Canadians expect. At the same time, Bill C-38 will streamline regulatory reviews for major projects and provide clear advantages for the Canadian economy. Eliminating duplication and overlap, and by setting a specified and generous period of two years for completing the necessary assessments, will allow further stimulation of the economy as well as creating more jobs.

What is important to keep in mind here is that we are working on efficiency and that longer assessments do not equate to better assessments.

The current Fisheries Act goes well beyond its conservation goals and is in much need of a facelift. Bill C-38 will strengthen

the necessary distinction between the size and scale of the projects. We will create guidelines and standards in regulation to make clear what can and cannot be done when working in and around water for smaller projects, all the while maintaining the full review process for larger projects.

Finally, by focusing on the bigger picture, our government can better protect migratory streams and lakes which are home to Canada’s fisheries and their supporting areas.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder PLAYAN HONOR FOR ENTRY PURPOSES Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said, “Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.”

Perseverance is a great element of success at bridge. If you count winners and losers, you are sure to become a better player. In this deal, though, “gate” is the key word.

How should South plan the play in three no-trump after West leads a fourthhighest heart three?

North’s hand is too strong for a one-no-trump opening and not strong enough for two no-trump.

But when South responds

one no-trump, showing 6 to 9 points (maybe a bad 10) and fewer than three spades, North raises to three no-trump.

South starts with six top tricks: one spade, four hearts (given the lead) and one diamond. The other winners will come from clubs. However, assuming the defender with the club ace has at least one more club and learned the game before breakfast this morning, he will hold up his ace until the second round of the suit.

Then dummy will have no clubs left and declarer will need a gate -- hand entry -- to reach his three club winners. What is his only entry?

South’s only winner outside clubs is the heart

queen. So, to retain that gate into his hand, declarer must take the first trick on the board, not run the lead to his hand. Yes, that sacrifices one heart trick, but it gains three club tricks in return. South will collect at least one spade, three hearts, one diamond and four clubs.

Anytime, Anywhere.
