Shawn Lee asks the candidates about Vernon’s spray irrigation program during Thursday’s forum.
The possibility of pumping treated effluent into Okanagan Lake is unpopular with those individuals wanting to represent the area in Victoria. Because waste management must be approved by the provincial government, candidates were asked during a Sustainable Environment Network Society forum Thursday if they would support a consultant’s recommendation that Vernon discharge waste water into the lake instead of using it for irrigation. “If you want to commit political suicide in this town, abandon spray irrigation,” said Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee Liberal
incumbent, at the event which drew about 100 people to the Schubert Centre. “It was strictly a financial core review (by the city’s consultant). It would never get to Victoria because the people (councillors) who suggest it would be out of business.” Scott Anderson, B.C. Conservative candidate, was also reluctant to back a shift in waste disposal. “I’ve heard it’s cleaner than lake water but I wouldn’t drink it,” he said. “I would take it to referendum and take the results to Victoria.” Independent Korry Zepik called for treated waste water to be expanded into residential yards for irrigation. “There are other methods,” he said.
has for the 13th consecutive year been voted…
Mark Olsen, with the NDP, believes waste water can reduce pressure on domestic water supply, and he questioned the consultant’s report. “What’s the rationale for this proposal? Is it the cost? Yes, there is a cost, but there is an impact to our lake,” he said. The candidates were also asked if they would lobby for provincial funds so Greater Vernon’s domestic water supply can be separated from irrigation customers as a way of lowering treatment costs. “We will have to find a way to help the water district to twin the lines. You won’t be able to do it yourself,” said Foster.

John Topping, with Special Olympics, is ready for the hot dog poll at Home Building Centre Friday and Saturday.
These ballots are hot off the grill. Special Olympics is serving up its hot dog poll Friday and Saturday as part of the provincial election. “It’s always popular and it’s a lot of fun,” said John Topping, with Special Olympics. Residents can cast a ballot for their favourite VernonMonashee candidate by purchasing a hot dog and beverage for $3.50. And unlike the provincial election, you can vote more than once. “We encourage them to stuff the ballot box,” said Topping. The names on the ballot this time around are B.C. Conservative Scott Anderson, Green Rebecca Helps, Liberal Eric Foster, New Democrat Mark Olsen and independent Korry Zepik. There is also an option for residents who don’t support any of the candidates.
ADVENTURE BAY
Topping anticipates some of the politicians to show up based on previous experiences. “We often get the candidates and supporters wearing buttons and they’ll buy half-a-dozen hot dogs at once,” he said. The hot dog poll starts at 10:30 a.m. Friday and Saturday at Home Building Centre on 27th Street. The sponsors of the event are Weston’s Bakery, Askew’s Foods, Buy-Low Foods, Tim Hortons, Swan Lake Nurseryland and Home Building Centre. The funds raised will support Special Olympics in Vernon. “It will go towards the programs such as swimming and skiing,” said Topping. “We have to rent space for the athletes’ training and there are trips out of town to competitions.” Topping isn’t placing any bets on which candidate will rise to the top in the hot dog poll, and he anticipates that there may even be a tie. “It’s going to be tight but the winner is Special Olympics.”

Bill’s Place opens door to recovery roger knox
Morning Star Staff
Nearly three years after his death, Bill Hesketh’s dream of a Vernon-based addiction recovery centre has come to fruition. The aptly monikered Bill’s Place, on 43rd Avenue, named after the late founder of the North Okanagan John Howard Society, is a 10-bed recovery home and sober living apartment. The facility was officially opened Wednesday with members of Hesketh’s immediate family doing the honours. “Bill always felt that part of the problems in Howard House were due to some kind of addiction, and he felt we had to get at the root cause,” said Hesketh’s widow, Pat, accompanied by sons David and Mark, daughter-in-law Eileen Benedet and grandchildren Samantha and Jordan Hesketh. “He started one of the first programs at Howard House for alcoholics. He was quite dedicated to this.” Bill’s Place is operated by the John Howard Society of the North Okanagan Kootenay region, and offers a wide variety of recovery services to men 19 years of age and older who are seeking recovery from alcoholism and addiction. The program is abstinence-based and follows a 12-step model. Participants need to be medically and physically stable as well as willing and motivated to change. “Bill’s Place is unique in its open-ended programming,” said Brad Hohgton, senior counsellor at Bill’s Place. “There are no concrete start and finish dates, so that the program can be tailored to each individual’s needs.” The John Howard Society officially

Barb Levesque, executive director of the
local John Howard Society, said she felt Bill Hesketh’s spirit as the ribbon was officially cut to open the centre. “I think about him often,” said Levesque. “I think about what he would do and how he would respond to things. I think about his super generosity of spirit he had.” David Hesketh, Bill’s son, said his dad
Water, agriculture among forum topics Continued from A1 Anderson also supported meeting the needs of local communities. “A major part of our platform is to develop infrastructure in the north and the Interior,” he said. Olsen indicated that he would acquire more information from civic leaders. “I would advocate for it because that’s my job to represent the community,” he said. Zepik believes there are broader issues surrounding access to water. “Our rights to water are being taken away. People should have the right to store or collect water,” he said.

from B.C. farmers,” said Foster. However, Anderson slammed the Liberals’ meat processing regulations. “If no licenses are required there (northern B.C.), why are they required here?” Olsen says an NDP government would have hospitals purchase locally grown food. “That will support agriculture and health care.” For Zepik, there is a need to ensure local farmers aren’t unfairly competing with foreign nations. “Trade protection made our country strong,” he said. The Green party candidate Rebecca Helps did not attend the forum.
would have been speechless had he lived to see Bill’s Place open. “He was at home with all kinds of people and he really had an open heart for those in need, and saw an opportunity to help them,” said David. “To have this carry on after his passing in the way he intended is an incredible honour.”

Vernon’s eighth annual Variety Children’s Radiothon was a success. The event on Kiss FM Wednesday and Thursday raised $31,595 for children who have special needs. Generous callers also sponsored 31 Buddy Bears for children at Vernon’s Jubilee Hospital. “The success of the radiothon is due entirely to everyone who made a donation, held a fundraising event for Variety, volunteered to answer the phones or acted as a Variety ambassador, helping to spread the word about the work we do,” said Bernice Scholten, Variety’s executive director. “All funds raised in the Vernon area will stay in these communities, and it’s wonderful to see families helping other families. We are honoured to have helped to facilitate that.” Local children, like Katia Zaretski, from Vernon and Corinna, from Armstrong, were true Variety champions, donating what they could to help other children. Katia, who had pneumonia a few years ago, has fundraised for the radiothon for the

I had a home I really liked. I’m happy with the subdivision I live in, the lifestyle and I don’t want that to change.” Chris Moxham of Rosedale Avenue West is in favour of the application, believing property values increase with a secondary suite, saying a house sells quicker and for more money if it has a suite. Moxham has never had a problem renting out his legal one-bedroom basement suite. “We live upstairs, we want a nice neighbourhood, so we harshly screen our applicants as we want the present to fit in with our lifestyle,” he said. Nitchie said council has not received one complaint from neighbours of a house with a legal secondary suite. Final adoption of the bylaw amendment could happen next month.

Armstrong has moved a step closer to creating more affordable housing options. Council unanimously passed third reading of a zoning text amendment bylaw Monday that would permit legal secondary suites within single-family dwellings in all low-density residential zones. Permission would be subject to conditions including regulating the size of the suite, access, off-street parking and owner-occupation of the property. “During recent elections at the many

New homeowners or homeowners in general who are struggling with the high cost of housing could use a secondary suite as a mortgage helper.

“It also increases the city’s inventory of affordable rental suites,” said Nitchie. A public hearing on the text amendment application drew a letter and appearance from Bradley Road resident Len Eddy, who is adamantly opposed to the application. Eddy states he has invested 20 years in Armstrong and wrote it would be “an absolute
shame to jeopardize our standard of living at this point and time based on the fact that there are home buyers out there who simply can’t afford to purchase a home without support income derived from a secondary suite. “My main concern is I don’t want my property to devalue,” said Eddy. “I worked long and hard to get to the point

Oyama Road was blocked due to a downed power line Friday. The Lake Country RCMP received a report of a downed power line on Oyama Road, at Highway 97, at about 10 a.m. “Apparently, a large predatory bird gripping a fish was seen flying into the cable which caused the line to break,” said Cst. Kris Clark, with the RCMP. “The live wires arced while on the ground and started a small grass fire which has since burned itself out.” Police blocked the road for public safety reasons and the repairs were completed by early afternoon.

Measures are being proposed that could help East Hill residents be more active. The City of Vernon has received a travel plan from Luke Friesen, Cody Marwood and Sandra Iroebgu, engineering students at the University of B.C. “Our goal was to get people out of their cars and walking and biking more often,” said Friesen. A number of recommendations have been made based on a survey of residents. Among the proposals is constructing a pedestrian pathway from 21st Avenue to Highway 6. “The Shops at Polson Park is the closest commercial shopping area for residents of East Hill and currently, it would be a long way around Pottery Road to access it,” states the students’ report. “If the walk is too far and not convenient, people will likely travel by car.” Another recommendation is installing solarpowered crosswalk signs at 18th Street and 32nd Avenue to improve safety and pedestrian visibility. A permanent measure could be wider curbs to slow vehicles down. The students also suggest a double-wide shoulder on one side of 15th Street for pedestrians walking to Highway 6. Guide posts could also be installed to keep vehicles from going on to the shoulder. “Speeding traffic and no sidewalks are the primary concerns regarding the safety of pedestrians,” states the report. Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe welcomes the travel plan.

Mental illness/drug link explored Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Four local psychiatrists are teaming up to help youth, parents and the general public better understand the connection between mental illness and drugs/alcohol. Fulton Secondary will host a public presentation Wednesday at 7 p.m. to delve into the cause and effects of substance abuse and mental illness. “A review of the connection between mental illness and illicit substances, especially in the setting of the adolescent brain,” said Dr. David Smith, adolescent and adult psychiatrist. Smith will be joined by doctors Fiona McGregor, Kevin Stevenson and Russell Williams to present what we do and don’t know about the associations. There will also be a panel question and answer session with the psychiatrists, who all hold specialty training in addiction medicine. Along with a relative ease of accessibility of illicit substances in the community, Smith says there is a perception of

Making your mark
have to admit it felt kind of cool when my eldest son joined me a few Saturdays ago to make our mark in the referendum on the sports facility at Okanagan College. You see, he’s 18, and it was his first opportunity to exercise his right to vote and I was happy, and even a little proud if the truth be told, to join him at the polls. When he checked The Morning Star website that night, unprompted I might add (although I believe I might have mentioned to him that the results would be there), he excitedly told me the results and, I’m assuming, felt good about his role in the whole deal. It was a close shave so it was a perfect civics lesGlenn Mitchell son to show that one vote does count. And it was a poor turnout so it was another lesson on how the politically engaged and motivated get to decide things for the majority. This was a particularly good lesson for him because I’m sure the percentage of young people that voted was even lower than average. Some may think this is wrong (although if they didn’t bother to vote then they don’t get to complain), but I’m not aware of a better system out there. So now we come to the provincial election and, yes, he signed up online, although like most teenage boys it only took some 10 or 13.5 promptings to get him to actually do it. And then it likely took 3.5 minutes to actually get it done. Heavy sigh. So now this vote isn’t quite as clear cut as the referendum one. It’s not a strictly yes or no situation and he’s asking questions, which is sparking family discussions that are interesting. Well, there’s other words to describe them too but we’ll stick with interesting.
MitChEll’S MuSingS
Do you vote for the local candidate, the leader or the party? Well, for many, that’s an easy question to answer because it’s yes, yes, and yes, because for them it’s all the right way to go, for them. However, the leader isn’t on the ballot in our system, just the local candidate and party. But, of course, the leader of that particular party gets to be premier if enough of his local candidates get elected. Therefore you are also voting for the eventual direction of the province. So it’s definitely not as black and white, nor clear cut, on how your vote could possibly affect the eventual outcome. And in this case, one could argue that there are better systems out there, such as proportional representation, which would ensure your vote would eventually count in the legislature (such as if 10 per cent voted Green then one out of 10 MLAs would represent that party in Victoria). Actually we voted on whether we wanted that system in place a few years back and it got shot down, although I think it was close. And there are challenges with that system also, as it doesn’t guarantee regional representation like the current first-past-the-post style does. Anyway the discussion continues and occasionally I offer some advice, his mom offers slightly different advice and his union is giving him information to consider as well. All good stuff. I encourage him to also read the newspaper (well, truth be told, I’m always encouraging him to do that, and lately he’s been more inclined so all’s good) and check out other sources about the election and who’s running and to make up his own mind about how to vote. I’m just glad he’s into it at his age and I try not to speechify too much about the importance of democracy or try to make sure he votes a certain way (well, not that much anyway). I encourage everyone else to make their mark come May 14 as well. It truly does make a difference.
The City of Vernon could face a significant hurdle if it decides to proceed with a controversial recommendation from a consultant. KPMG, which is conducting a core services review of city operations, recently suggested that about $1 million a year could be saved if treated effluent water was pumped into Okanagan Lake instead of the current practise of using it to irrigate pasture, parks and golf courses. However, such a dramatic policy departure couldn’t occur without the blessing of the province. And given the response of Vernon-Monashee candidates at a forum Thursday, the city may not have someone willing to advocate for them on this matter. “It would never get to Victoria because the people who suggest it would be out of business,” said Eric Foster, Liberal candidate, of the likelihood that Vernon council would face a strong public backlash. NDP candidate Mark Olsen also has concerns about the recommendation. “What’s the rationale for this proposal? Is it the cost? Yes, there is a cost, but there is an impact to our lake,” he said, adding that irrigating with treated effluent also conserves fresh water for domestic use. Yes, every other community in the valley discharges treated waste water into Okanagan Lake but Vernon has been invested significantly in spray irrigation since the 1970s. But more importantly, officials in Victoria know that the concept of discharging into the lake is controversial and has been the subject of legal action over the years. No matter who is elected May 14, it is likely the government is going to want to avoid being drawn into a battle in Vernon.

Parking problem persists
read with some sense of concern the article on "Reduced parking frustrates residents." It not only frustrates the residents, but what about the user groups that also were impacted with the beautification project on 20th Street? The Vernon BMX Club is located on 47th Avenue, in a cityowned park, in the middle of the completed project and we have been severely impacted from the project. On a race night, we have about 100 racers arriving from Penticton to Kamloops. We used to utilize the street parking along 20th Street on race and practice evenings. With that parking gone, we are left with eight parking stalls in front of the park. Currently, we share parking with the Scout hut across the street
and they are most accommodating to our group. However, on some nights, unfortunately, we overlap and they have their monthly meeting on the same night we are racing and their lot is full with their users. We apologize to the residents
theft concerns We hear in the news that crime is up in Vernon, but break-and-enters seem to be increasing at an exponential rate. As a pawn shop clerk in Vernon, I see this increase everyday. My last shift at work was particularly concerning. All staff spent the first four hours of the day receiving calls from victims of break-and-enters, collecting detailed descriptions of stolen items and the police files associated with them. The file numbers indicate that not only is crime up from last year, but it is increasing from month to month as well. With staffing shortages, I am sure there is only so much the police can do, but we, as Vernon residents, can take a number of steps to protect ourselves from theft. As a preventative measure, you can do the following: keep all doors and windows locked at all times, even windows on the second and third floors. Do not let strangers, or friends of friends into your house unless you continuously watch them or lock your valuables in a safe or separate room. Make a detailed list of all your jewelry, including photos, weights, and karats, or better yet, get appraisals done. Write down model and serial numbers for all of your electronics, tools, instruments, etc. Appraisals and serial numbers identify your item
all of the time on 47th Avenue for our members parking on every last section of roadway without impeding the flow of traffic. But it gets really crazy for parking on a race night. Our other option is the city allows our users to use the lot on
without a shadow of a doubt. If you are the victim of a break-in, it's a good idea to do the following as soon as you notice your items are gone. First, phone the police and get a file number. Give them as detailed a description of your items as possible. Second, once you obtain your file number, call your local pawn shops. Don't wait. The sooner you call us with your file number and description, the greater the likelihood that we will be able to get your things back to you. Third, call the community police volunteers in nearby cities like Kelowna. They can check the pawn reports of those cities once they have your description and police file number. This city's pawnbrokers do their due diligence by providing detailed reports to the police every week, but these reports are wasted if you do not do your part by filing. Please help us catch thieves, and stop them from doing this to others. tanya Kuz finance reform It's important to know what electoral finance reform would allow and not allow (Donor bans not needed, April 12). It would stop some of Alberta's wealthiest individuals from donating to B.C.'s political parties as
the corner the city has for chipping that Coun. Mary-Jo O'Keefe referred to in the article as a viable solution for the residents to use as overflow. Well, if anyone has been past that lot in the last few weeks, it is full of brush awaiting chipping. We are waiting for chipping season to complete. If we open that lot up to the residents, we will lose our Monday/ Tuesday night parking, minimal as it is, once the lot gets cleared out. So our club is in full agreement with the residents that we are completely dissatisfied with the changes made along 20th Street, and in particular, the reduction of parking for all residents and user groups Something needs to be done to satisfy all parties involved. Jennifer Bitz, Vernon BmX
a few do today even though they can't vote in B.C. It would stop corporations and unions from writing cheques to their favourite political party, leaving the impression – if not the reality – of undue influence. Corporations and unions also can't vote. But it won't stop them from participating in the political process. It will just be in their voice, not someone else's. And their spending will be limited in a campaign, as it is today; limits that have already been deemed constitutional by the Supreme Court of Canada. As the court noted in 2004: "If a few groups are able to flood the electoral discourse with their message, it is possible, indeed likely, that the voices of some will be drowned out." And that's why it's time to take big money out of B.C. politics. Since 2005, corporations and unions have donated $60 million to the B.C. Liberals and NDP. In the same period – as a result of federal legislation introduced by Jean Chretien and later strengthened by Stephen Harper – not a single cent has flowed from corporations and unions to Canada's political parties. Yet, Canada still has a "robust political tradition," as will B.C. when similar rules are adopted here. Dermod travis integrity B.c.
no rounDaBout Why do we need a roundabout in Coldstream? The cost could be used for the proposed sports complex at Okanagan College. I live in Coldstream and have never had to wait in lineups even though, for years, I worked in Vernon. The $10,000 of taxpayers' money should not be wasted on a proposed study for this requirement. I for one, as do many of my friends, think this is foolish spending. Kudos to Maria Besso for voting against this proposed. mary Jane salmon

heartened to see that there has been a significant decrease in the number of people injured and killed by impaired drivers over this past year,” Laurel Middelaer, Alexa’s mother. “We know that the members of Alexa’s Team have served unwaveringly to make our communities safer.” Alexa’s Team formed in memory of Alexa Middelaer, who was killed by an impaired driver when she was four years old. The team has grown over the past five years from 26 members to more than 1,000 new and returning members who are RCMP and municipal police officers. Since 2008, team members have processed 41,354 impaired driving charges or penalties against drivers in violation of B.C.’s impaired driving laws. To be nominated for Alexa’s Team, police officers must have removed at least 12 impaired drivers from the road in the previous calendar year through a Criminal Charge investigation (for alcohol or drug impairment) or through an administrative driving prohibition (90-Day Immediate Roadside Prohibition or 90-Day Administrative Driving Prohibition).

Public input sought for OCP Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Coldstream residents are being asked to help guide the future of their community. The district is beginning the development of its Official Community Plan (OCP) and will host several open houses for the public. The first takes place May 6 at the Coldstream Women’s Institute from 3 to 5 p.m. and again from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The next round of forums takes place at the Lavington Fire hall May 8, again from 3 Jim Garlick to 5 p.m. and 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. There will be short presen‑ tations both days at 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. “There will be discussion papers that will be presented,” said Mayor Jim Garlick. “And they can give their input back.” The forum will include discussion centres and illustrations that focus on a number of specific planning topics, including secondary suites and duplexes. “We’re looking at densities, agricultural lands and the uses that occur on them,” said Garlick.
The other topics are: n residential housing demands (single family, multi‑family, retirement) n future community growth areas n residential / rural land‑use interface planning n agricultural land‑use planning and farming viability n hillsides’ long‑term land‑use planning n commercial neighbourhood centres n industrial land availability n municipal parks and trails strategy n sensitive ecosystems policy strategy n hazardous lands identification n infrastructure planning (transportation, utili‑ ties, services) n interjurisdictional land‑use planning It has been seven years since Coldstream’s OCP was last reviewed and 20 years since a comprehen‑ sive review was done. This new plan is expected to be completed in 2013 and will guide the community for the next 20 years. Comments can also be emailed to ocp@district. coldstream.bc.ca or mailed to the district at 9901 Kalamalka Road, Coldstream B.C. V1B 1L6 with the label Official Community Plan.

News B.C. poll says store on target jeff nagel Black Press
The impending arrival of U.S. retailer Target in B.C. may come mainly at the expense of Walmart, a new poll suggests. An Insights West poll found 82 per cent of shoppers are likely to shop at Target if there’s one nearby and 96 per cent are aware it’s coming. Pollsters say respondents were broadly enthusiastic and attribute that to brand awareness – 69 per cent of B.C. residents polled have visited a Target store in the U.S. before, 35 per cent within the last year. That level of recognition outstrips other U.S. retailers that have yet to enter the Canadian market, such as JC Penney and Nordstrom. “Target is well positioned with British Columbians even before market entry,” Insights West senior vice-president Catherine Dawson said. About a third of respondents said they won’t shop less often anywhere else after Target Canada arrives, while 28 per cent said they’d cut back on visits to Walmart. Between 16 and 14 per cent said they’d spend less at other larger retailers like The Bay, Winners, London Drugs and Best Buy. Most of those polled said they expect new U.S. retailers here will force other chains like Walmart and Costco to reduce their prices. But they’re not under any illusions that prices will be as cheap as at its U.S. stores – 87 per cent said they don’t expect U.S. retailers to offer southof-the-border prices here. Target’s already open stores in Ontario charge somewhat more than in the U.S. for most items. The retailer has cited higher Canadian transportation costs, wages and duties as the reason. Consumers were split on whether Canadian retailers are to blame for a lack of competitiveness against U.S. chains. Dawson said it appears B.C. shoppers are torn about what will happen when Target arrives. “While they will certainly shop these big U.S. retailers and hope for a positive impact on our economy, they worry about it hurting Canadian businesses,” she said. Clothing and various products for the home top the list of categories those polled said they expect to buy at Target Canada. Fourteen per cent of those polled disapprove of U.S. retailers and 31 per cent said they’re indifferent to Target’s plans.

A Legacy
of Love
Ruby Scott was settling down on the hide-a-bed in the room at Hospice House when she heard her husband, Bob, call out softly to her from his big bed. “I want to sleep with you.” “He crawled down into the bed with me and we held each other,” she said. It was
Bob’s father, Wilf Scott, died in Hospice House in the fall of 2002. “He brought it up to us and he and Grandma (his wife, Fay Scott) toured prior to his asking to go in. We didn’t know much about hospice at that time. It wasn’t until he was a resident that I realized how nice a place it was. He was given whatever he needed, kept comfortable and his pain was controlled. It had been very exhausting for Grandma looking after him when he was home,” said Ruby. She was pleased that Bob and his brother, who both worked shift work at Riverside Forest Products, were
able to go in to visit their father throughout the day and night, for Bob that was at 1am before his shift started and again at 11am when his shift finished, and they would have lunch together. Grandma Ruby and Bob Scott. stayed for the duration of his stay When he was first diagnosed he said, at Hospice House. “The staff and volunteers were “When the time comes for me I want to be in the so accommodating and willing to talk to us at any Hospice House.” Originally he was admitted to get time, or just listen while we rambled on. It was a very his pain under control however his illness progressed homey, friendly place. much quicker than expected and he never left. the night of their 35th anniversary, April 30, and Bob had decided earlier that day to come to the Hospice House. He had been diagnosed with cancer March 15, 2006 and died May 19, 2006.
Eventually, Bob was too weak to come to me and I would lie on his bed with him. The day before coming to the Hospice House I had been giving Bob pain meds every hour. Once there, I no longer had to worry about his pain level or his medical care. It was all taken care of, and we could just spend time together. He asked that I not be angry with him for leaving me this way. “Our two children were there and we were even able to bring in his dog for his final goodbye. We spent time together as a family. Everything was done to make us comfortable. I was so grateful for that, and still am.” It was not the first time Ruby had had a loved one in a hospice. She has lost seven family members in the past 11 years, including two in hospices in other cities and three in Hospice House in Vernon.
Ruby said “I have been there for each of their last breaths.” Ruby also feels that Hospice House is there when you need them. Ruby also had a comment for people other than family members or very close friends visiting in Hospice House. There came a time when Bob said ‘That’s all the company I want.’ For every person that comes to say goodbye for the last time, that was just one goodbye for them, but for him it was a lot of goodbyes for the last time and it was exhausting. Ruby felt that the sooner people were able to say their goodbyes the better so that the family and very close friends could have the time near the end. Bob’s mother had been living with them since her husband’s death and she and Ruby supported each other after Bob’s death, traveling together, attending hockey games, and generally keeping each other company.
Last spring Grandma had her last surgery, which went well, but, it seemed that she had lost her will to live, and her heart was failing her. She said ‘there are more people on the other side than on this side,’ and she asked to be moved from the hospital to the Hospice House. When she arrived the first thing that they did was give her a bath and wash her hair. She felt so much better; she said ‘My friends can come and see me now.’ She was there only four days and for her it was the right thing to see her friends to say goodbye, but it has to be an individual choice. She also had a chance to see her dog, Missy, again and to be reassured that I would take care of her. Grandma’s surviving son was able to spend the last day with her, and all of her grandchildren had been in touch with her shortly before her death. Some of the staff and volunteers had been at the Hospice House for Wilf and Bob as well and they recognized our family. “It was good to have them there.” Even as Ruby grieves, she has positive memories of Hospice House and she is volunteering there to help give others the same care and support that her family received. “I have talked to a lot of people about our experiences. Most people have no idea how beautiful Hospice House is. Even the design, from the low windows so the residents can look out on the gardens from their beds, to the wide doors so that they can be moved to the gardens if they choose, and even to the beds for the family members to stay around the clock, is all for the residents comfort. It meant a lot to Bob to be able to look out and see everything coming to life, and to have me stay for the duration. It has been a very comfortable place for me to be each time I was there,” said Ruby.

“I found out about Advance Care Planning when we were discussing it at Hospice” said Sullivan, Learning and Effectiveness Leader at North Okanagan Hospice Society. Strilchuk said “It’s difficult to think about your own mortality and that of the people you love. If I had thought about it, it was more in terms of when life support would be stopped, and even if I had an opinion on that, who would I tell it to? The first time we talked it was a bit uncomfortable but as we talked more, I could see that it was the right thing for us to do,” said Strilchuk, software developer with AVS Systems.

For Sullivan and Strilchuk, there were no surprises when they completed My Voice. “We had to think about what would be important to us should we be faced with a life-limiting illness or injury.” Once we identified our values, it wasn’t that difficult to document our wishes for future health care treatment that respected those values. The document can be as specific or general as you want. It is a living document. In five years, we may have a different perspective and we can change it. I’m so glad we did this,” said

One of the North Okanagan’s social events of the year is having a lasting impact on health care. The 2013 JCI Hospital Gala raised $14,500 to help complete the two floors at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “Specifically, the money will be used towards purchasing equipment for inpatient surgical services, such as medical lifts and acute care beds,” said Sue Solymosi, event chairperson. The event at the Best Western Vernon Lodge attracted 210 people. Festivities included dinner, a silent and live auction, dancing to The Marksmen, casino games and an ice cream wagon. With a fascinator theme, guests helped glam the room with colourful adornments. Among the businesses that helped make the gala possible were Davidson Lawyers, Sun FM, Sproing Creative, Okanagan Spirits, Capri Insurance, Cold Stone Creamery and Enderby Jewelers. “The event ran smoothly because of

They get the chance to sunburn in the middle of February, but they don’t get to see their daughter play as much. “We catch every game online. We try to make it up to Kamloops for a few games also,” said Carl. Schuetze announced her presence with authority in 2011-12. She led the WolfPack to their first non-losing season (9-9) and more importantly to the playoffs. Schuetze also put together her best statistical year. She led the CIS West in scoring with 18.6 points per game and was third in rebounding with 8.9 boards per game. She was named a Canada West first team All-Star and was a second team All-Canadian. She was named CIS West female athlete of the week on multiple Schuetze occasions and was CIS female athlete of the week once. At the end of the season, Schuetze was named TRU female athlete of the year. Schuetze credits her remarkable year to hard work during the offseason. “I focused a lot of training, running and gym time in the offseason. I had more balance in my off-season training.” In the 2012-13 campaign, she was the top rebounder in the league with 11.3 per game. Schuetze also ranked third in scoring with 17.8 points per game, third in blocked shots with 1.5 per game and seventh in field goal percentage at 53.2 per cent.

ON ALL OPTIMAS
Canadian and CIS female athlete of the week once. Schuetze led the WolfPack to their best regular season record of 15-7 and their second straight playoff appearance. Graduating players Jen Ju and Tracy Kocs are quick to point out Schuetze’s physical improvements. “Her development in all aspects of her game is quite obvious,” said Ju. “Her footwork is fantastic. She sets hard screens and does a great job a rolling to the rim.” Added Kocs: “She has great hands for her position. She can go to work down low in a double team or bounce outside and jack up a three.” People who know Schuetze are impressed by how much she has progressed as a person during her five years. “Diane’s a humble and respectful person,” Ju said. “She is a strong individual who drives people to be better.” She finished with 1,399 points, more than doubling the next closest WolfPack player. She has made 411 free throws, also more than doubling the next closest. Schuetze pulled down a very impressive 813 rebounds. Second place in WolfPack rebounding isn’t even in the same zip code. She put up the best numbers by any player during her era in the CIS West. Despite all the success, the smiling Schuetze hasn’t had a chance to reflect on her career just yet. “Maybe one day down the road I’ll look back and think, ‘oh well, that was pretty cool.’” She graduates this spring with a bachelor of tourism management with a minor in human resources.

Diane Schuetze’s college career at Thompson Rivers University (TRU) is now over. She leaves as the greatest women’s basketball player the school has ever seen. But she won’t be the one to tell you that. Schuetze, a Vernon Panther grad, played five years at centre for the WolfPack, and according to her head coach Scott Reeves, she is the major reason TRU turned around a struggling program. Even though her days playing at the Tournament Capital Center are gone, she is still hard at work. Schuetze is now focusing on establishing her professional career. “I have been talking with a few clubs in Australia and some agents in Europe,” said Reeves. “It’s a lot of work trying to send somebody to a pro league. You have to build up a serious base with the teams.” As it stands, Australia appears to be the destination for Schuetze. The South West Metro Pirates have had the most contact with her. They play in the Queensland League in Brisbane. Europe is still a possibility one day down the road. The journey began once Schuetze got to Vernon Secondary and played with the Under 16 and U17 provincial teams. She had the opportunity to go down to the U.S. and play against girls her own size. Reeves was the head coach at TRU when he recruited Schuetze. He was faced with the trouble of trying to bring players to a new and unsuccessful program. Prior to 2007, TRU basketball teams played in the PacWest division of the Canadian College Athletic Association. By 2008, TRU had transitioned into Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) when Schuetze agreed to come play for Reeves. “We were new to the CIS and we just came off a 1-22 record,” said Reeves. “I was able to sell her on the fact that we were moving from a small college to a big program. She had the chance to be part of building a program that could be very special.” Schuetze started in all but two games her first year. The team went through a sudden change from 2007-09. The ‘Pack’s offensive and defensive efficiency improved, rebounding rates rose and blocks doubled. “Diane had immediate impact on our team,” said Reeves. “We never had a true — Diane centre before she came here.” Schuetze experienced great personal success that year, averaging 9.7 points and 5.9 rebounds in 21.5 minutes per game. She became the first TRU player to be named to the CIS West All-Rookie Team. “My first year was very eye-opening,” said Schuetze. “I remember thinking, ‘wow, this league is intense.’” Schuetze’s second and third years showed steady growth in every aspect of the game. Her numbers improved and the Pack won more games. “My second and third year kind of just blend together.” Schuetze’s parents Cynthia and Carl live in Vernon, but only from the late spring until early fall season.

Kira Lee collected a pair of secondhalf goals as the Seaton Sonics upended the Vernon Panthers 3-1 in North Zone Senior Girls Soccer League play Thursday at MacDonald Park. The Panthers’ Natalie Johnston opened the scoring for VSS in the first half, but after a halftime pep talk by Sonics’ assistant coach Lucas Harrigan, Seaton came out hard after the break. Candice Lipski scored the other Sonic goal in support of Daniella Lenton, who was steady in goal. Kristina Thompson helped anchor the defence, and soccer newcomer Taylor Drake offered plenty of speed up front. “It was a close-fought battle between two fierce rivals,” said Seaton coach Sarah Kwantes. In North Zone junior girls action, the Kalamalka Lakers ran to a hard-fought 1-1 draw with the Salmon Arm Jewels Wednesday in the Shuswap. Despite opening with a less-than-stellar effort, the Lakers found themselves one goal up at the half thanks to a terrific solo effort from Teigan Moore. Salmon Arm started the game strong and seemed determined to make good use of home-field advantage. They dominated possession and generated numerous good scoring opportunities. The Lakers played some of their best soccer of the season in the second half, however, a defensive lapse led to the Salmon Arm goal. Woman of the Match went to Kal netminder Julia Kemper. Honourable mention went to Moore and Alexa Tymkiw for her strong two-way play. In junior girls play, Kendra Ostafie netted the second-half winner as the Baby

Defender Kendra Racine (right) of the Seaton Sonics tries to keep the ball from Dory Geelkerken of the Vernon Panthers in senior girls soccer action Thursday at MacDonald Park. Panthers outlasted the Revelstoke Rams 3-2 at Marshall Field. The Cats, coached by VSS grads Michelle Smith and Jenessa Moore, jumped out to an early lead on Emilee Kronbauer’s goal at the three-minute mark. Kierra Bootsma added a second goal at 22 minutes before Revelstoke equalized before halftime. “The girls played great,” said Moore. “Everyone played a very important role in today’s win. It truly was a hard-fought team effort. Michelle and I were very pleased
with the determination and energy.” The Fulton Maroons and Sonics settled for a 2-2 tie at Marshall Field. Ashley Eso and Cayleigh Graham handled Fulton’s offence. “Both Teams were very evenly matched,” said Maroons’ head coach Sharon Shaigec. “Once again, our goalie Brittany Skrenek made some huge saves for us at key points in the game.” The Maroons visit Kal Monday afternoon (3:40).

Maroons slip by Kal Morning Star Staff
The Fulton Maroons have lost by a conversion, and now they have won by one in North Zone senior boys rugby action. Clark Richardson scored with two minutes remaining, and then booted the convert, as the Maroons outlasted the Kalamalka Lakers 19-17 Thursday at Kal Field. Jordan Cabrejos and Connor Mackus also scored for Fulton. Richardson was 2-for-3 on converts. The game was tied 12-12 at the half. “This was a very good high school rugby game,” said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. “It was entertaining, back and forth, and was as close as the score suggests. “The Kal kids played very well, as did our kids and we were fortunate to win the game. All Vernon schools are very competitive this year.” Maroons’ scrum-half Sean Greene directed Fulton’s attack well, eight-man Cabrejos was a force in the loose play, and prop Ray Relling continued to show improvement with his hard-running style.
Fulton ends regular-season play Monday (4 p.m.) by hosting the Immaculata Mustangs of Kelowna at Grahame Park. In North Zone junior action Thursday, Fulton claimed first overall with a 19-0 win over the host Lakers. Louis Lins scored a try and kicked two converts, while Max Chapman and Mike Williamson also scored. “We have good, strong athletes, and they compete hard,” said Scheller. “We did not play the cleanest rugby game, but our kids played hard and made some punishing runs. “Louis Lins had a great debut at scrum-half,” said Scheller. “He was aggressive defensively and made a couple of great attacking runs. Williamson showed great speed on the wing, and was a threat to score all game. Locks Tristan Kenney and Ryan Vadnais were both physical at the breakdown, and hooker Kyle Dennis made some great passes to set up runs for his teammates.
Sale of SilverBacks imminent Morning Star Staff
The Salmon Arm SilverBacks ownership group of Randy and Terry Williams have agreed to a deal in principal to the sell B.C. Hockey League franchise to a group led by current GM Troy Mick. The Williams family has owned the team for the past six seasons, reaching the playoffs five times and helping 40 players achieve NCAA scholarships. Troy Mick As part of the transition,
which could happen as early as May 1 (pending approval), the new group has decided not to renew head coach Scott Robinson’s contract. Instead, Mick will add the role of president and head coach to his GM duties. Mick, formerly a coach of the Vernon Vipers (1997-00), started last season as Salmon Arm’s head coach/GM, but stepped off the bench early in the season to focus more on the club’s front office and scouting needs. Meanwhile, SilverBacks’ veteran marketing director Josh Gordon has resigned from his post due to family reasons. He joined the club in 201011 as director of ticket sales.

Sports SportS BriefS tambellini tops bcHl draft list
Adam Tambellini’s double-overtime Fred Page Cup-winning goal didn’t just help the Surrey Eagles claim the B.C. Hockey League title. It boosted the former Vernon Vipers’ stock in Central Scouting’s final rankings heading into this summer’s NHL Entry Draft. Tambellini, a rangy centre with a deceptive shot, was listed 42nd among North American skaters. Projected Adam Tambellini to be a second-round pick, he is the highest prospect in the CJHL, which represents 10 junior leagues across Canada. The Edmonton native leapt 20 spots from the mid-term poll. Six other BCHL skaters made the Central Scouting list, including Vernon product Jedd Soleway, a former Viper forward now with the Penticton Vees, listed at 131. Ex-Viper Kevin Guiltinan, a blueliner with the Prince George Spruce Kings, slotted in at No. 162.
Green rockets blank capri
The Green Rockets showed they are a team to be reckoned with in the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Tier 2 division. The Rockets cruised to a 3-0 win over Capri Insurance for their first win of the season Thursday night on Marshall Field #2. The whole team showed plenty of hustle, with goals coming from Melanie Purr, Karmyn O’Shea, and Sam Audley. Shantelle Price and Deneen Tomlinson worked their butts off. Sunterra Custom Homes Sistas! won by forfeit over Chick Kickers OMG on Marshall #4. The teams ended up playing a friendly as the Chicks were short bodies and then got an injury. Meanwhile, in men’s 55+ soccer action, Kal Tire blanked Winfield 3-0 Thursday night on Marshall Field. Al Bensmiller opened the scoring with the goal of the game, taking a slick breakaway feed from Jenne Huberts to go in alone on the Winfield keeper. Rob Culos and Jim Sparrow capped the Kal Tire attack. Injured centreback-turned-goalie Roger Irvin earned Sleeman’s Man of the Match for his steady presence in the crease.
kimoto storms 75 bracket
At 75 years of age, Ray Kimoto isn’t exactly a rookie. However, the longtime fixture at the Kalamalka Country Club is making the most of his debut in a new age bracket on the masters tennis circuit. Kimoto won the men’s 75 singles championship at the Vancouver Lawn Tennis and Badminton Club, icing the No. 2 ranked Norman Hughes of Vancouver, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2. He swept Vancouver’s Bob Hallam, 6-0, 6-0, in the quarterfinals, then upended Saskatoon’s Art Reil, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2, in the semis. Reil took out the No. 1 seeded Gordon Verge of Vancouver Island in earlier play. In doubles action, Kimoto and Walter Tofolli (Vancouver) fell in the semifinals to the No. 2 seeded Vancouver duo of Hughes and Howard Lowe, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4. Kimoto’s next tournament will be the B.C. Seniors Championships, June 1-9, at the Jericho Tennis Club in Vancouver.

The storm is coming
D
riving back from the Western Wildfire Conference in Kelowna through a torrential downpour, I was finding it extremely difficult to digest some of the information I was bringing back with
me to Vernon. Not that it was confusing but just how I was going to communicate it to those that need it and would they believe me anyway? The problem is that in the North Okanagan we have been saying
the same thing since 2003, “The storm is coming and people need to protect themselves from wildfire by Firesmarting their property!” Sure we’ve had some close calls but nothing of catastrophic proportions, at least not in the North Okanagan anyway and with all this rain and cool weather we should be alright again this year. Besides, even if something major does happen, we have the Ministry of Forests and the fire department to protect us! I for one look forward to the hot Okanagan summer and quite frankly, the hotter the better! Those fantastic summers are why I live here! So what’s the big fuss? Unfortunately, whether we choose to believe it or not, there is a price for that hot summer weather and it is an increased risk of wildfire. Each year along with the loss of homes, the cost of suppressing wildfires to the taxpayers of British Columbia is increasing at an alarming rate and the experts are now telling us that large wildfires are no longer a once in a lifetime event. Along with the impact of global warming, the buildup of forest fuels, beetle kill as well as the increase of

really afford not to utilize a Firesmart strategy when it comes to protecting something as precious as our families and our homes? So, if you are not the gambling type and you want to protect your home by or in the wildland, here again are a few simple Firesmart tips to get you started. Home: Remove all combustibles (firewood, lumber, debris piles) a minimum of 10 metres away from the house. Remove all dead needles and leaves from your roof and gutters. Clean dead needles and leaves and any combustibles from underneath home openings (decks, porches) and skirt or screen those openings. Ensure your fireplace chimney is screened, has been recently cleaned, and is free of overhanging branches. If you are thinking of changing your roofing, use a ULC Class A (non-combustible) roofing material such as metal, clay/ceramic tile, Unicrete recycled rubber, or asphalt shingle. Yard: Rake and remove all dead and/or down vegetation (trees, shrubs, needles, leaves, grass) from your yard and
within a minimum of 3 metres from your house. Remove flammable vegetation next your house (juniper, native grasses, spruce/pine/fir trees). Keep your grass regularly mowed or weed-whipped and use the sprinkler to keep it green and moist. Other: Develop an evacuation plan and ensure all family members are aware of it. Ensure you have enough hose and sprinklers to reach the top of your roof and a ladder to install them when necessary. Have some fire tools on-hand in a readily accessible spot (axe, shovel, water can). Vernon Fire Rescue Services wants you to have a fabulous summer and enjoy the beautiful Okanagan to its fullest. Provide yourself with a peace of mind when it comes to wildfires and protect your home and your family by becoming Firesmart! You can obtain a copy of the Firesmart Manual for Home Owners at Vernon Fire Rescue Services, Fire Hall #1, across from city hall.

Armstrong building starts slow roger knox Morning Star Staff
Armstrong is off to one of its worst building starts in recent memory. Regional District of North Okanagan’s building inspections statistical report for March showed just one building permit was issued in the city, totalling $48,500. To date in Armstrong there have been five building permits issued totalling $145,350. At the same time last year, the number of permits issued totalled $847,590. “It’s a slow start regionally and in Armstrong,” said Mayor Chris Pieper. “Here’s hoping spring fever starts getting the values to go up.” Technology allowance If council wants, they can now claim a yearly technology allowance after passing a proposed policy on the matter. The policy would allow councillors if they so choose to accept $300 yearly to partially offset expenses incurred for Internet services, cell phone
and e-mail. “It is recognized that the use of cell phones, e-mail and the Internet are commonplace for members of council to fulfill the requirements of their office,” wrote city chief financial officer Terry Martens. “It is also recognized that e-mail and cell phones provide a valuable method of communication between members of council and city staff.” Council unanimously supported the policy. The city does not pay directly for cell phone, e-mail and Internet charges on behalf of council members. More centennial grants The city’s centennial committee has received a $25,000 provincial grant from the Creative Communities’ significant anniversary fund. “The committee is aware of this and are already figuring out ways to spend the money,” said Coun. John Trainor. Council also granted unanimous support to Sapori Oils and Vinegars to use the city’s centennial logo on some of its selected products.

Agreement expands learning Morning Star Staff
A new agreement with the Okanagan Collaborative Conservation Program is going to give Okanagan College students more access to inthe-field learning. Okanagan College president Jim Hamilton recently signed a memorandum of understanding with the OCCP. “These kinds of partnerships with organizations that have a broad reach throughout the Okanagan provide our students with not only an enriched education but the potential to make meaningful connections,” he said. The OCCP’s mandate is to assist partners in sharing information, collaboration and research on conservation issues. Partners include all levels of government, land trusts, stewardships and outreach organizations. Carolina RestrepoTamayo, OCCP program co-ordinator, believes the college provides a level of support and collaboration that enhances the organization’s overall objectives. “Their contribution to our projects and collaboration initiatives is fundamental. At the same time we hope we
can contribute and participate actively in the college’s initiatives to protect and preserve the Okanagan environment.” Arthur Green, department of geography chairperson, says the partnership will
help students to get involved in any number of conservation projects that may be underway throughout the region. “What this means is that rather than having to contact different organizations – like the City of Vernon,
Regional District of the Central Okanagan, or several land trusts, we’ll be able to connect through the OCCP and locate opportunities throughout the region that our students can participate in,” Green said.

Richardson was diagnosed with breast cancer in March, 2012. After going through a couple of surgeries and chemotherapy, she began swimming. She’d always enjoyed her time in the pool and knew it would be a good way to recuperate. At first she could only do eight lengths of the pool, now she can do 80. “It was a slow start. I could only go swimming about once a week and I was only walking about two kilometres per day. “I’m up to walking six or seven kilometres about three times a week and 80 lengths in

She will also raise money for the Loralei Comfort Fund, which provides assistance to cancer patients whose financial barriers create hardship in terms of dealing with diagnosis and treatment. “This is my way of getting better and giving back.” Richardson said she has plenty of family members who will be wearing pink to support her when she swims in the lake this summer. She’s also working on acquiring a flaming pink swim suit to help her stand out in the water. “I have been in to see my family physician to make sure that I am physically healthy enough to do the swim — that, of course, was a concern for (organizers). “I don’t foresee any problems at this point.”

Helping preserve history Eleanore Bolton is recognized for her work in the community she loves Morning Star Staff
“Accompaniment and Transportation for Seniors”
Enderby resident Eleanore Bolton has been recognized for her 25 years of service to her community’s historical society. At the annual general meeting of the Armstrong/Enderby Historical Society, April 7 at the Enderby Museum, Bolton was presented with a picture of the Enderby Cliffs engraved with an expression of appreciation for her service as treasurer. Bolton was born in Enderby in 1930, to Ruby and Clifford Lidstone. Her early childhood was spent on her family’s farm in the shadow of the Enderby Cliffs. Her teen years were spent in the heritage house on the corner of Sicamous and Cliff Streets that her parents lived in until her mother’s death. Bolton’s marriage in 1951 took her away to northern British Columbia and Alberta, with 30 years spent in Kamloops, after which she and her husband returned to the North Okanagan and were able to become involved once again in the communities of their youth.

was a warm day and any sense of adventure that I may have had was wearing rather thin. Another bus passed me heading in the same direction as me, but then it pulled up short. An alert neighbour on that bus had spotted me and I was saved a further one and a half mile walk. No doubt she had been asked by my mother to watch out for me. The lesson I learned that day was a serious one and I have kept a good watch over my sons and granddaughters since. A child’s thoughts and reasoning can be so different to an adult’s. But I seemed to be the only one who thought that in my own case I showed commendable initiative.

According to Statistics Canada, the population of those over 65 has grown to nearly five million in the past five years. Canada’s 2011 census revealed that near seniors — people 60 to 64 — grew faster than any other group, with their population growing to 29.1 per cent in the past five years. In four years, Canada will be a country with more seniors than children According to the City of Vernon web site, 23.1 per cent of the population is aged 65 and older, compared with a national average of 14.8 per cent The National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM) is a non-profit professional association of organizations dedicated to assisting older adults and families with the physical and emotional demands of downsizing, relocating or modifying their homes. Senior move managers can help with the following: n Developing a move or “age in place” plan n Organizing, sorting and downsizing n Customized floor plans n Arranging for profitable disposal of unwanted items through auction, estate sales, buy-out, consignment, donation or combination of the above n Interviewing, scheduling and overseeing movers, arranging shipments and storage, oversight and supervision of professional packing, unpacking and setting up the new home n Related services, such as cleaning, estate removal, shopping, senior escort, assisting with selection of a realtor and helping prepare the home to be sold.
Helping to ease the transition Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
When a senior moves out of the home where they’ve raised their children and lived with their spouse, there is more at stake than simply deciding what to take, what to sell and what to give away. There is an emotional connection to the family home, to the memories contained in that home, to objects that hold meaning. Cari Dyck wants to make that transition easier for seniors who are moving into smaller residences or a retirement home. As the founder of Okanagan Senior Transition Services, Dyck specializes in relocating and downsizing services for seniors. “This is a loss of independence for people and a loss of who they are, and often the decision making comes at a time of crunch, they lose a lot of their choices, where family members will come in and decide what’s best,” said Dyck, a mother of four who grew up in the Okanagan. “The main thing is to give them control. “I want to convey to seniors and their families that they are not alone, help is out there and what they are going through with
aging, relocation, downsizing, changing of caregiver roles is common. Seniors do not need to be paralyzed by the fear of relocation and my hope is to make it a pleasant and positive experience for the senior and/or any family involved. “I encourage people to start the process and planning earlier rather than later to help maintain as much independence and choice as possible.” With a B.Sc. in nursing, Dyck has worked extensively with seniors in both hospital and community settings. She is a member of the National Association of Senior Move Managers and has completed their training program. She is also a certified move manager and has trained with the Smooth Transitions Group in Kentucky. “I have always loved working with seniors,” she said. “When I was in Vancouver, I worked on the geriatric ward at Vancouver General and so I started to think about what I could do here, not as a nurse but still working with seniors.” A senior move manager looks at the whole process of downsizing, from helping a client figure out what to do with that collec-
tion of porcelain cow creamers, to setting up the phone service. “We look at the emotional and the physical aspects,” said Dyck. “And it could be as much or as little as a family might need. “We look at the timeline of it all, which makes the process less daunting.” For seniors considering a downsize, it can be difficult to know where to start. Dyck is happy to do a free consultation to determine the services a senior might need. According to the Stress Scale, for seniors moving to a nursing or retirement home is in the top five of stressful events, preceded only by death of a spouse or divorce. And often, said Dyck, difficult decisions have to be made quickly. “Sometimes what happens is a couple has moved here to retire and then one spouse gets sick and they no longer have family members or friends close by.” Dyck’s services can be personalized to the individual needs and concerns of the clients and can include everything from pre-move preparation to help a senior determine what belongings to take with them, to packing and moving, helping
to decorate a new home, unpacking and organizing every box. “Often we will take photos of their home and try to replicate their living environment. It comes down to they have to move and this is the space we are working from. So many families are scattered across the country so this is very disruptive to have to organize all of this. We can take care of all of the practical things, including something as simple as ensuring the TV is connected.” As well, Dyck can help seniors who wish to age in place, by doing a safety check of their homes. “Many people choose that option if they are not ready to move, but they can start thinking towards that.” There are now more than 800 senior move management companies in the US., Canada and around the world. And Dyck couldn’t be happier to have found her niche in working with seniors. “I love working with seniors, they are fascinating and you can learn so much just by listening.” For more information, see the web site at www.okseniortransitions.com

In Canada, the average age of farmers is getting older and older. According to Statistics Canada, the average farm operator is 54 years old (Census of Agriculture, 2011). These stats show the average age climbing quickly, up five years since 2001. Canada is lacking young farmers — and people are wondering, who will grow Canadian food in the

How does Tom Davison feel about sharing the farm with another generation? “It is absolutely awesome! Youth brings fresh energy and fresh ideas,” he said. “They understand technology more than I ever will, which has become an integral part of they way we operate.
“Of course, we sometimes disagree, what do you expect with three generations of different ideas working together? But those disagreements, once we work them out, they end up making us better farmers.” Davison Orchards opens their farm market, café and bakery for the season on Wednesday. And 2013 marks the 80th anniversary of the Davison amily farming in Vernon.

Lance Davison, 21, recently graduated from Olds Agriculture College with a diploma in Production Horticulture. Last week, he moved back to the farm with his new bride to work with his dad and grandpa. After studying agriculture for the last two years, Lance is coming back with new ideas and energy. “I can’t wait to get out of the textbooks, and into the dirt again,” he said, adding that farming is in his blood. “To me, farming feels like making something from nothing — you start with some dirt, a small piece of land, and from that we can feed a lot of people in a safe

Students showcase their talents Morning Star Staff
Students of art, drama, music, dance, trades, media, culinary arts, photography and technology will have an opportunity to showcase their talents and hard work as they compete for one of 64 $1,000 scholarship awards that will be presented following the School District 22 District Project Scholarship Competition this week. The event has grown each year, and this year will be presented at Kalamalka Secondary School Theatre and Vernon Rec Centre over three days, Tuesday to Thursday. “We are very excited to showcase the hard work and talents of our graduating students,” said director of instruction Joe Rogers. “Our performing students welcome you to attend the Kalamalka Secondary School Theatre on Tuesday from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. “The theatre is an excellent venue for students to showcase their work while encouraging the public to come out and see their many talents.” The students have
been working on their projects for a good portion of the year, with some of the projects spanning multiple years. “They have been working with dedicated sponsor teachers who offer them ongoing support, advice and guidance,” said Rogers, who is also district scholarship chairperson. Aside from the performances, all participants assemble a display that shows their work and completed projects to others. This part of the competition will take place at the Vernon Recreation Centre, and will be open to the public on Wednesday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The scholarships are open to all Grade 12 students at the five secondary schools in the district.

“We are very excited to showcase the hard work and talents of our graduating students.” — Joe Rogers winning recipient with an award of $500 upon wining the scholarship competition and another $500 when the student enrolls at a post-secondary institution. Each participant will be judged by three judges. A judge from the community with expertise in the specific project area will serve as the primary judge. “We rely so much on the high level of community expertise to serve as our judging panel. Our community experts have provided this service each year and have provided wonderful feedback to our students,” said Rogers.

“We would like to publicly acknowledge their contributions to this event.” Students will also be judged by a secondary judge as well as a fellow participant. “The district continues to focus on Assessment for Learning, including peer assessment, a process of engaging students more in their learning, and we felt this would be the perfect time to use this process with our high-performing students. We used this process last year and participants found it to be valuable to talk with other students about their scholarship project.
“Each year the participants receive feedback from their three judges and wait to see the tally of scores to determine the winners. This year they will have an opportunity to directly interact and provide feedback to another participant in what we believe will be a rich and meaningful experience.” Judging of the displays takes place Wednesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Judging of the performances takes place at Kalamalka Secondary on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. All sessions are open to the public and admission is free. “Please join us in celebrating the skills and talents of our Grade 12 students. We are very proud of each of them and we hope to see you there!”

SUSAN CARRIE We often hear people say they aren’t as tall as they used to be. We do lose a little height as we age. After we reach 40, we lose about 0.4 inches of height every 10 years. This loss accelerates after the age of 70. Osteoporosis contributes to this so a healthy diet and regular weight-bearing exercise can slow the “shortening”. Our bodies are made up of trillions of individual cells working together to make your body work well. When you exercise, focus on the individual cell. Exercise helps train your cells to perform better so they will produce energy more efficiently and helps your lung cells to use oxygen better. There’s a new addition affecting may people during the past few years although you won’t find it in any medical text book. It’s called Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD). Evidently, 3500 million people have this disorder. Are you one of them? If you find Facebook is eating up more and more of your time each day, perhaps it’s time to control this addiction. Missing a dose of a regularly-taken medication is an error. If this happens often, devise a medication memory device to help you remember to take a dose.

Knock three times for these Lovers
I
n a nutshell, The Last of the Red Hot Lovers is about a restless restaurateur who wants to add a little spice to his life by having an affair (actually a hat trick of dalliances), but gets a little more, or less, than he bargained for, naturally. After all it’s Neil Simon, the playwright who relies on wit and wordplay while occasionally musing about the ironies and frustrations of life, and who wraps it up in a tidy three-act play that manages to tickle the funny bone while giving enough food for thought to satisfy most theatregoers’ hunger for Glenn Mitchell entertainment. And thanks to some strong performances, Powerhouse Theatre’s Lovers delivers the goods. The first word in the play isn’t uttered for several minutes, but a simple, functional, appropriately designed set allows Barney Cashman, played by Colin Carney, to set the stage for the Dating Game with a twist. You see Barney would never appear on the old ‘60s-era game show because, well No. 1, he’s married, and, No. 2, he’s the furthest thing from the hip dudes that strutted their stuff on that stage, and, No. 3, definitely no cameras please. However, like the show, he doesn’t really know the women behind the front door of his mother’s apartment each time, at least not as well as he thought he did. Carney as Cashman has much of the weight of the play on his shoulders, but gets stronger as the night progresses and effectively wins over the affections of the audience, if not his would-be conquests. His in-way-over-his-head encounter with the “very attractive” and worldly Elaine Navazio is a lot of fun and, despite a couple of opening-night glitches, keeps the play moving and the laughs com-

Patty Garrett pulls off the ready-to-go Navazio with style and a fiery frustration with life, and Cashman, that shines throughout the scene. However, if the first act may have started a little slowly, the tempo picks up at the onset of the second act thanks to the human dynamo known as Bobbi Michele. While Cashman has grown and is better prepared for date No. 2, again he’s got no idea what to make of Bobbi. Bev Steeves is wonderful as the energetic, bubbly, very excitable but lovable Bobbi. Not many lines are left available for Cashman due to the whirlwind Bobbi, but there’s a vicarious excitement that’s enjoyed by all who get to witness this bombshell’s life stories. And the scene ends on a laugh-outloud high note. Date No. 3, also called the second

scene of Act Two, brings things down to earth more than just a little, and just when Cashman is ironically hitting his stride in dealing with his inhibitions. Beverley Peacock, as Jeanette Fisher, is also very good as the straight-laced, uptight friend of the family who somehow makes her way to the apartment. The Last of the Red Hot Lovers offers plenty of smiles and chuckles and the odd outright laugh, not to mention enough musings on modern morality to chew on to satisfy most people’s tastes. And if you’re anywhere near approaching, or leaving, the age of a potential mid-life crisis (which could be anytime, really), then you’ll thoroughly relate to and enjoy the characters as they wing their way through it.

Cruise’s latest shows beauty in the bleakness

Oblivion
ack Harper (Tom Cruise) is one of the last drone repairmen remaining on a desolate Earth. When a spacecraft containing some humans in hibernation crashes down, it presents a mystery that, when unravelled, changes Harper’s ideas about the reality of his life, the Earth and its history. We ask, “Is it an effective movie?” HOWE: It is an effective movie. A lot of people don’t like Tom Cruise movies, but I find them entertaining and Oblivion is no exception. I found it drew me in with its mysterious storyline: What really happened to planet Earth, who are the scavengers and what are the dynamic duo of Jack and Victoria (Andrea Riseborough) really doing there? TAYLOR: I’m definitely not a Cruise fan. He’s all right; he’s just always the same, more of movie star than an actor. However, Oblivion is an interesting film that finds beauty in bleakness and keeps secrets
were trash, such as Total Recall or Prometheus. I think the strength of Oblivion is the acting: Cruise does what he always does and Freeman is reliable as clockwork. But it is the performances of Victoria (Riseborough) and Julia
(Olga Kurlenko) that holds Oblivion together. TAYLOR: Time holds Oblivion together, as in: You’re going to have to wait for the payoff to see if it’s worth watching. It’s not a bad film, it’s just a bit bland and for a movie that
relies on its ultimate reveal, a bit disappointing. Tom Cruise, as usual, is negligible. — Taylor gives Oblivion 2.5 retirement plans out of 5. — Howe gives it 4 pairs of Ray Ban aviator glasses out of 5.

Reel Reviews Taylor & Howe from even itself. The audience becomes a sleuth along with Cruise’s Jack Harper, working his way through memory problems, vague instructions from his employer, the distractions of life and, finally, the presentation of undeniable evidence. The film seems to have a lot of contrived plot devices that create the mystery. For
instance, Morgan Freeman’s character is coy in his revelations to Harper, because “he wants him to come to his own conclusions,” rather than “give us another 20 minutes of film.” HOWE: Oblivion is one of the best scifi movies I’ve seen in a long time. Director Joseph Kosinski did a pretty amazing job with the cinematography: from the desolate wastelands to the lush green valley. Pair this with the amazing soundtrack and he has come up with something special. TAYLOR: The cinematography was interesting, as we’re the landscapes. It felt like it was

part Hawaii and part Iceland, lots of rocks. There was also a sort of Planet of the Apes look, with famous landmarks, such as the Brooklyn Bridge, haphazardly sticking out of the soil. The problem with Oblivion is that it feels too much like other scifi movies —The Matrix, Moon, 2001: A Space Odyssey — that rely on the audience figuring out what is going on. Unfortunately, these other films have much richer environments and more rewarding conclusions. HOWE: They are good movies.

Ballet Kelowna to keep dancing next season Morning Star Staff
Buoyed by the support of the community, and with a sharpened sense of the need for a sustainable model, Ballet Kelowna’s new board of directors has decided to move ahead with the company’s 2013-14 artistic season. A benefit concert, held in Kelowna Friday, showed the efforts people are willing to make to help Ballet Kelowna overcome the hurdles, said the board’s new president Deborah Ward. “We realize there is a place in Kelowna – in fact in the Okanagan and in B.C. – for the cultural contribution our company can make. Others clearly see it too, and we must give credit to those who have put heart and soul into Ballet Kelowna over the past decade, from the board to our dancers to our many sponsors, supporters and our staff,” she said. “Without what has been accomplished already, and without the positive expression of community support, there would be no reason for the optimism that fuels our decision to press on.” While concerns about the financial future led the previous board to a decision to not proceed with the next season, it is the stable financial position that the

company was left in that made the new board’s decision possible, recognizing that community support and a new model of operations will be needed. The company is still working on details for the 2013-14 season and its fundraising campaign. “We don’t have all the answers, but Friday’s performance, supported by so many in the cultural community in the Okanagan, is a great place to launch the efforts. We hope that residents will pick up on the theme and be moved to be a part of the future of Ballet Kelowna.”

Partnership pays off for nordic skiers Graeme Corbett Business Editor
On their own, Vernon’s Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre and Silver Star Mountain Resort are well-known winter sport destinations. Together, they are quickly becoming a nordic skiing wonderland. The two businesses have always existed in a symbiotic manner, but last season, they took a step forward in their relationship, offering for the first time, a dual-area nordic pass. The results are promising. More than 100 dual-area passes were sold as of mid-January, and so far, the feedback from both local skiers and destination guests has been positive. “It’s a really good start,” said Scott Lemon, Sovereign Lake manager, noting the club’s Scott Lemon dual-area sales equal roughly 10 per cent of its total season’s pass sales. Lemon said skiers also had the option of adding the dual-area feature to a day pass for an extra $10, which further increased traffic at both resorts. “It just shows there’s a lot more than those 100 people crossing back and forth. It definitely works for both of us. “It’s a big enough trail system that people can come and stay for a while and always have good terrain.” Guy Paulsen, nordic manager at Silver Star, said the dual-area affiliation is a long time coming and hopes this is the beginning of increased collaboration between the two entities. Asked why it has taken this long for this idea to come to fruition, Paulsen replied: “The right people at the right time have come together. “People have recognized, regardless of what end of the trail system you’re on, we all are very passionate about skiing and winter life. The best way to go about growing the sport and promoting the sport is to do it together.” Between Sovereign and Silver Star, there are more than 100 kilometres of trail, making it Western Canada’s largest groomed network. To help promote the dual-area pass, Sovereign and Silver Star co-hosted a pair of cross-country ski weekends where season’s pass holders had the opportunity to ski for free on both trail systems. People without a season’s pass could buy

a day pass and receive a dual-area upgrade at no extra charge. More than 700 skiers participated over the two weekends. There are further plans for dual-area events, including races and nordic camps. One of the things that makes the
Sovereign-Silver Star collaboration work is each player brings a skill set to the table. As a nordic-specific organization, Sovereign has history and experience on its side. It is what allowed them to successfully host the 2011 Sparkling Hill Masters World Cup, featuring 1,100 athletes from 23 coun-
tries, as well as a 2005 World Cup race. Silver Star, backed by some serious marketing muscle, has more mainstream recognition. They have also been in the nordic game for 25 years, and they have hosted a number of large events, including Nor-Am championships. “Sovereign has hosted the bulk of those events, and they do an amazing job of it,” said Paulsen. “With the entire backdrop and village at Silver Star, the combined trail system and the expertise that the club at Sovereign has, it just makes for a great one-two punch. The beneficiary is the community of Vernon and we want to protect that and keep it going in the right direction. It’s Vernon’s mountain and it’s just one large trail system.”

New partner for Royal LePage Morning Star Staff
A North Okanagan real estate office is undergoing a smooth transition. Darcy Griffiths has purchased a 50 per cent share of the Royal LePage office in Vernon and Armstrong from long-time realtor Paulette Webb of Armstrong. “After selling for the past 22 years and being a trainer in the industry for our provincial association, I am taking on a new challenge,” said Griffiths. “Becoming an owner of the Royal LePage real estate franchise is really a dream come true for me.” Webb first got involved in real estate in 1982. “The opportunity to acquire a partnership in Downtown Realty in the late ‘80s turned out to be an amazing experience,” she said. “I am very grateful for all of
the people I was able to work with, realtors, staff and clients alike.” Riley Twyford will continue to remain 50 per cent owner of the local Royal LePage office. “Riley has been a great partner. I am excited for what lies ahead for the company with Darcy on board. It has been a wonderful journey,” said Webb. Tywford is looking forward to the new partnership with Griffiths. “Moving forward, Royal LePage will continue to provide our agents with the latest tools and technologies,” he said. “We offer strong support, timely information, professional development and in-person training, along with state-ofthe-art marketing tools. Griffiths is currently the vice-president of the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board.

If you haven’t filed by now, the deadline is approaching fast and if you owe CRA they will assess you a late filing penalty for not filing by this years deadline of April 30. Filing a tax return every year is important for recipients of the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) it facilitates the application process. Human Resources can easily access the information they need from the tax returns to enable them to calculate the GIS Payments. When both spouses file on time every year, it eliminates the need to complete a GIS form for the most part, and your GIS payments should continue to arrive on time each month.

Glacier National Park, 16 kilometres from Revelstoke, provides visitors with some spectacular views of rugged mountain peaks.
Park offers glacier gazing jane cassie Special To The Morning Star
B.C. - “C’mon, you can do it,” my husband coaxes. “If Evelyn Berens could summit Mt. Sir Donald in 1901 you can get to one of these 400 glaciers.” After driving the Trans-Canada Highway’s 16 scenic kilometers from Revelstoke, we’re heading out on our first hike at Glacier National, an outdoor oasis that’s aptly named. And flanking the trail are placards revealing its legendary roots. From 1887 to 1925, Glacier House, a posh retreat was operated here by the Canadian Pacific Railway. Berens, the first female to top one of the rugged peaks, is portrayed in this historical photo shoot. And though her Victorian lace-ups were no contender to my High-Tec footgear, she sure had cushier accommodations. Not that I’m complaining. Once again, thanks to www.campingrvbc.com, we’ve been able to pre-plan our campsite and our roving home now nestles beneath the trees at nearby Illecillewaet campground. Ten of the park’s 20 trails begin at this base camp and lead to spectacular ridges, vistas and glaciers. “Let’s try Great Glacier trail,” I suggest to my mountain man. Initially, the century-old path is a breeze. After bridging a roaring creek, we’re canopied by spruce and hemlock. Omnipresent peaks are soon visible– some with jagged tops, others with snowy remains. After veering around mammoth boulders, the inevitable uphill begins, and within half a dozen switchbacks my heart rate is turbocharged. But the ascension is short and comes with visual rewards. Waterfalls cascade from rugged crests, shadows reflect from
Brent cassie photo
German hikers follow a trail with ease in Glacier National Park. creased mountainsides and Illecillewaet Glacier shimmers in the backdrop. Our trail is abruptly interrupted by a stream, however trekking to the glacier base can be achieved with some fancy footwork. “There’s just a bit of scrambling,” Brent says with encouragement. “And it’s only slippery when wet.” Although it’s reassuring to hear that my mate has confidence in my mountaineering skills, I’m skeptical about the glistening boulders that now replace my solid footpath. I watch two German hikers precede us and am pretty sure they have suction cups embedded into their hiking boots. “There are nine other ways to glacier gaze from this campground,” Brent says, with hope, the next morning. “Let’s go for more gusto on Glacier Crest Trail.”
In spite of the low-lying cloud my hubby and eager pup are keen to climb. And like yesterday’s trail, initially it’s a cinch, until we cross a bridge where the uphill begins. Razor-sharp switchbacks carve into the mountainside and slice through mossyloving flora. Spiny ferns, bushy thimbleberries, thorny Devil’s Club hide in the shade of mature evergreens. Before long we’ve left the river and far below, the silvery ribbon of Roger’s Pass hugs up to our mini-size campground. “It’ll be a welcome sight after this 3,000 foot ascension,” Brent says, as we slowly head upwards over rugged roots and rocks. Finally, we break out into the sub alpine where panoramas abound. Monster-size boulders, provide perfect pika pockets for the squeaky protesters. Granite slabs, the size of small space ships, create Mother Nature’s heavenbound stairway and striking mountains rise stoically from a glacier-gouged valley. After cresting a craggy ridge, we get glimpses of the final reward. Under bluebird skies it would be magnificent but today, the virgin-white snowfields play hide and seek with billowy clouds. “We could wait and see if it lifts,” I suggest, a longer rest break being an ulterior motive. “Inclement weather can move in quickly,” Brent warns, “We’d better head back.” When we’re half-way down, the cloudy veil begins to lift and by the time our campfire is lit starlit skies are putting on a show. “Looks like it’ll be clear tomorrow,” Brent says. “And another great day for glacier gazing.” Jane Cassie is with Travel Writers’ Tales, an independent travel article syndicate.

Seaton’s Rotary Interact makes a difference in Ethiopia You can’t feed ten young girls an entire year for $1,800 anywhere in Canada. But you can in faraway Ethiopia, where both food and education are distant dreams for most girls. So, when the boys and girls of Rotary Interact Club at W.L. Seaton Secondary School in Vernon heard about the need, they decided that they could make a difference in the lives of 10 Ethiopian girls. The local students committed to raising the money necessary to feed the Ethiopian students for three years - $5,400 - the length of their entire secondary education. The Interact Club undertaking is part of a larger Kalamalka Rotary Club project that, along with notfor-profit Partners in the Horn of Africa, funds Jimma Scholarship House.
It helps to have some background on Ethiopia to fully understand just how important this project is to these ten young girls. Nearly 85 million people live in Ethiopia - nearly three times as many people as live in Canada - but in a country about the same size as British Columbia. Three-fourths of Ethiopians live on less than $2 a day. And nearly 39 million - more than live in our country - are under age 15. Historically, half of Ethiopia’s girls are married by age 18, and nearly one in three have children of their own. And while 99 percent of Canadians 15 to 24 years old can read and write, only 62 percent of Ethiopian boys and 39 percent of Ethiopian girls are literate. Of course, in rural areas served
by Jimma Scholarship House, most Ethiopian girls only dream secondary education, much less go on to university. Now, Vernon residents - students and adults - are making dreams come true. Jimma is a six hour drive from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital. All ten girls completed 8th grade and received excellent grades, but are from poor families and could not otherwise afford further schooling. Today, they intend to become doctors, lawyers and teachers. ClaIre Stanhope, Interact Club president and a Seaton student, said, “Our members will long remember that we helped change the lives of girls our age ... gave them opportunities that we might otherwise take for granted.”

Bigger budgets are proposed for legal aid and crime prevention, a new ministry of women’s equality, $4 million to review oil pipeline projects the NDP opposes, and $10 million to hold an inquiry into the sale of B.C. Rail operations a decade ago. The new measures are on top of earlier NDP platform announcements to launch a $210 milliona-year child benefit for low-income families, boost seniors’ home care, add more teachers, raise welfare rates and index them to inflation. The minimum wage would also be linked to inflation and the lower wage for alcohol servers would be eliminated.
Whether they’re out of it or into it

Flanked by platform co-chairs Carole James and Bruce Ralston, NDP leader Adrian Dix takes questions on the party’s spending plans Wednesday. The platform also promises to move the date of the 2017 B.C. election to the fall, which would extend an NDP government’s mandate to four and a half years if the party wins the May 14 election. Dix emphasized the NDP’s claim that the B.C. Liberal preelection budget is not balanced as the government says, but hides a deficit of nearly $800 million by underestimating program spending in the current year and overestimating money from selling government assets. “Our spending com-

mitments are in balance with our revenue measures, so our platform will not add a penny to the Liberal deficit,” Dix said at a news conference in front of the Legislature. The platform puts numbers on the NDP’s promise to divert some carbon tax revenues to transit and green projects around the province. That spending would start with $30 million this fiscal year, rising to $40 million next year and $50 million in year three. The NDP platform proposes $2 million next year in new
spending for legal aid through “community partnerships,” rising to $5 million the following year and $10 million in 2015/16. Crime prevention and restorative justice programs would get an extra $2 million each in the first year of an NDP government. Legal aid spending would increase $2 million this year, $5 million next year and $10 million in year three. The NDP budget totals include no new money for public service wage increases or capital projects beyond those that are already committed to.

Name of Park
how to play:
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) It’s nice to be helpful, but don’t take on so many burdens that it makes you ineffective. When you’re bogged down and can’t function, you won’t do anybody any good. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Stick to the plan of a social engagement, instead of trying to make a last-minute change. Your alterations won’t add anything of value. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) If you’re not careful, you could easily yield to peer pressure and agree to do something that does not serve your best interest. Be firm and stand your ground. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Just because someone is a colorful talker doesn’t mean that he or she is a knowledgeable one. Don’t be mesmerized by the flash and totally overlook substance. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) The need for instant gratification could cause you to spend your money foolishly. Wait until you find the perfect buy instead of snapping up the first offer you come across.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You’ll be susceptible to high-risk proposals that promise something for nothing. Look at all “too good to be true” deals with a gimlet eye. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Yo u ’ l l e n j oy conversational exchanges as long as they’re not centered on personal or weighty subjects. Don’t allow yourself to get drawn into emotional repartee.
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.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) If you make an impulsive commitment or promise, there’s a good chance you’ll end up regretting it. Be very careful on what or to whom you pledge your word. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) If a friend or associate is raring to go, you might be a bit too retiring for him or her. Instead of seeking solitude, get out and try to have fun.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder
IF THEY STOP, YOU OFTEN ENTER Gary Ryan Blair, a motivational speaker and author, said, “Opportunities are easily lost while waiting for perfect conditions.” At the bridge table, you will not always have the perfect hand for a given call. You must play the percentages. If a call will probably win, go with it. But remember that nothing works all of the time. This applies when you are balancing with a weak hand. You know partner must have some points; otherwise, the opponents would have bid higher. In this situation, first wonder what the opponents might have missed. In particular, if you are short in an unbid major,
be particularly cautious. Sometimes a pass will be less expensive than a bid. In this deal, look at the North hand. East’s one-spade opening is passed around to you. What would you do? It is quite likely that South has a strong hand with spade length that is not suitable for a one-no-trump overcall. (Perhaps it is not strong enough, or is too unbalanced.) So, you could double. But your defense is not good -- your hand has better offensive potential. And since it is unlikely that the opponents have missed a makable four-heart contract, you should balance with two diamonds. Here, partner will gnash his teeth and jump to three no-trump.
West leads his spade. What should South do? He has eight top tricks: two spades (given the lead), two hearts, three diamonds and one club. He can get home if either red suit breaks 3-3. After winning the first trick, he should play three rounds of hearts. Here, that works nicely.

Shirley Joan Bennett April 12, 2013
It is with great sorrow that we announce the death of Shirley Joan BenneƩ. Shirley died surrounded
by her husband and children aŌer a brief, but courageous baƩle with cancer. There are very few that know the exact year Shirley was born, but many knew it happened in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, to Eorma and John Graham. Shirley grew up in Alberta spending most of her Ɵme in Red Deer, where most of her brothers and sisters sƟll reside. Shirley married Gerald in 1959 and they moved to Swan Hills where they started their own family. They had four children starƟng with Karen, then Carla, Pam and 11 months later Chris. They soon moved to Yuesnel where Shirley had a cafe and Gerald had a bread delivery business. Together, they then opened Yuesnel Farm and Ranch Supply. In 1972, the family moved to Vernon, and Shirley put her skills to work at Rump and Sendall Feeds and Chick Hatchery while Gerald worked for BuckerĮelds in Armstrong. Shirley always had Ɵme to nurse a helpless animal and to nurture life into the things that surrounded her. She had a passion for plants and animals and passed that love of life onto her children that conƟnue to raise dogs, horses, cows and even the odd sheep. Shirleyǭs kind personality and management ability soon gave her an opportunity to work for the School District. She started at By where she made lifelong friends and connecƟons that she cherished. Shirley worked her way up to be an administraƟon secretary at the board oĸce where she worked for two Superintendants. She always loved to go to work. Shirleyǭs church congregaƟon at the Pleasant Valley Church of God played an important role for her while she was in Vernon. She was acƟve and enjoyed taking part in prayer groups, Bible studies and visiƟng. We know that Shirley had many friends and it is easy to say that most truly loved her in return. She was always willing to see friends that were ill and made extra eīorts to visit those that were immobilinjed. Shirleyǭs kindness knew very few bounds. Shirley had a special place in her heart for family. She was pre-deceased by her father John Graham. She will be lovingly remembered by her mother Eorma, brothers David (LoreƩa) and Danny (Barb) and her sisters Barb (Baird) Thomas, Janet (Ivan) Janssen and Susan (Alan) MarƟn. Her husband, Gerald and children Karen Crick, Carla Henderson, Pam (Andy) Lyster and Chris (Michell) BenneƩ will miss her dearly.

In Memoriam
Travis Plaxton
April 28, 1973 ~ Nov. 20, 2011 I know heaven must have a window With no curtain to hide the view, I know you must stand there often And watch me missing you. An angel in the Book of Life wrote down my son’s birth, And whispered as she closed the book, “Too beautiful for earth.” Happy Birthday my son Love always and forever Mom
In Memory of Ivan Joly February 1, 1952 - April 28, 2012 Remembering you is easy, I do it every day It’s just the pain of losing you that never goes away Love Diane If wishes could be granted, and all our dreams come true, We would wish that we could go back in time, to yesterday and you. A thousand words won’t bring you back, we know because we tried, And neither will a million tears, we know because we cried. You left behind our broken hearts and such happy memories too, But we never wanted memories Dad, we only wanted you. Love “Your Girls” & Their Families

Richard Gordon Barefoot November 12, 1949 – April 23, 2013
Richard passed away suddenly and very peacefully of a Brain Aneurysm, leaving his wife of 35 years, Georgia Atwood; his son, Brett Barefoot; his faithful, loving dog, Rosy; Nieces and Nephews and many more family members. Rick was predeceased by his parents: Harry and Maxine Barefoot. Rick loved his sports, especially skiing and golf. He was a member of The Vernon Golf and Country Club and past member of Spallumcheen Golf Course. His favorite hole on both was #19. Rick was famous for his “walk-a-bouts” sharing beers, stories and tons of laughs. Rick will be warmly remembered for his compassion and thoughfulness for all of his friends, and especially for his respect and love for his family. In Lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation. Celebration of Life will follow.
Three years have come and gone, the tears and heartbreak are still here. Without your laughter, smiles and long-winded stories, life has not been the same. Watch over us, Angel, and keep us safe. The most painful tears are not the ones that fall from our eyes and cover our faces. It’s the ones that fall from our hearts and cover our souls! Kiera, we miss you so much, MEOW and forever. Mom, Dad, Kristina and Kimberly
