Liberal leader wows the crowd RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR

Justin Trudeau (above), federal Liberal leader, speaks to more than 300 residents at Vernon’s Polson Park Tuesday, while Noemie Petit (below) takes a photo of Trudeau with her mom Sabine. For a video of Trudeau’s visit see www.vernonmorningstar.com “We have an awful lot of work to do over the coming years,” he said. Janna Francis, former OkanaganShuswap Liberal candidate, was pleased to see such a large turnout in the park. “It tells me that people are interested. People are paying attention,” she said, adding that the party’s restructuring is healthy. “The decline of the party (losing seats in 2011) was something that was needed so we could reconsider who we are as a party and our values.” Francis says Trudeau has provided Canadians with an opportunity to engage directly with the party. “This is the second time he has been here in two years. It shows that he cares and wants to connect with people,” she said. Like others in the party, Francis is convinced many Canadians are looking for an alternative to the Conservatives. “People were promised certain things like openness and accountable government and they are not getting that,” she said. As part of his tour of the Interior, Trudeau was in Trail Monday and in Kelowna Tuesday.

There was definite star power as Justin Trudeau stopped in Vernon Tuesday. No sooner was the federal Liberal leader out of his RV at Polson Park and a crowd of more than 300 people embraced him. Photos and autographs became the hot souvenirs from the encounter. “He’s exciting, he’s young and he feels like something new,” said John Burton, 20. For Burton, Trudeau brings a sense of optimism that he believes is in sharp contrast to the current political environment. “He’s working towards a goal I want to be part of.” Kim and Gerry Thibeault drove all the way from Edgewood to see Trudeau. “When he spoke at his father’s (former prime minister Pierre Trudeau) funeral, I knew he would be prime minister one day,” said Gerry. Kim is also taken with Trudeau’s policies. “He has a positive message. I love his message about all of us being Canadians,” she said. Trudeau is currently touring B.C. with his family as a way of increasing the Liberals’ profile, especially given that it placed a distant third in the 2011 election. “I’ve been incredibly touched by the attention given to me over the last few days,” he said. “It’s not just about me. It’s about putting Canadians back in Canadian politics. They want to feel engaged and involved.” Trudeau says the current Conservative government has fostered divisions across the country. “We’re incredibly cynical about politicians but we’re tired of being cynical,” he said, adding that there is a need for people to pull together to tackle major issues like the economy and the environment. “My biggest problem with the government is it’s lack of ambition for this country. We are better than Stephen Harper thinks we are.” Trudeau says more must be done to help families make ends meet. “The vast majority of hard-working Canadians have not seen a raise in 30 years, not a real one,” he said. Trudeau briefly touched on the fact that the Liberal Party is continuing to rebuild after the election loss and is preparing for the 2015 federal vote.

Enderby group urges responsible horse use richard rolke Morning Star Staff

An Enderby organization is taking the issue of horse droppings seriously. The City of Enderby has expressed concerns about horseback riders not cleaning up

after their animals, but Equine Rangers says it has collection points for manure at the D&E Drive-In and the River Rock Bistro. “There are people picking up the manure for their gardens,” said Dean McGeachy, with

Equine Rangers, which encourages people to ride horses. “We have asked the city if we can put out barrels or buckets.” McGeachy isn’t sure who has been generating the concerns about manure on public roads.

“The Equine Rangers have not been in Enderby for six weeks,” he said, adding that he would like to know who is responsible. “It’s about education and etiquitte.” However, while McGeachy says manure must be cleaned up, he believes the city may be overreacting when it threatens to possibly ban horses from the community. “Horses have been in Enderby since 1893. They have always been here,” he said. The Equine Rangers received approval from the city in April to install corrals and hitching posts to promote horseback riding. However, McGeachy says his group has not received an official license of occupation yet. “We are trying to make a difference in Enderby. People (tourists) stop when they see the horses,” he said. McGeachy also insists that horseback riding is an alternative to vehicles for getting around. “You can’t get any greener than this,” he said.

Dean McGeachy, with Equine Rangers, is urging horseback riding in Enderby.

North Westside Road residents are demanding to know what is going on at the fire hall. The North Westside Communities Association is urging residents to contact the Regional District of Central Okanagan about fire chief Wayne Carson not being on duty. “Many of you are asking, ‘What’s going on with the fire department?’ You’re asking each other, you’re asking me and you’re asking members of the fire department,” said Marsali MacIver, NWCA president, in a letter to the Marsali MacIver membership. “The problem is that none of us actually knows what has transpired.” Carson, who has been chief for 19 years, was suspended by the regional district for three days in June. He returned to duties after the suspension but a leave of absence began July 8. RDCO has stated Carson requested the leave but Carson has denied that. No details about the suspension or leave have been provided as RDCO says the matter deals with personnel and is confidential. In a related matter, both assistant chief Bob

Andrews and training officer Johane Andrews resigned July 4 to express concern about the regional district. “At our board of directors meeting, the directors decided to put forward this letter of support for those hardworking, volunteer firefighters and medical first responders who have faithfully and professionally come to the aid of so many members of our community over so many years,” said MacIver. “We, as an association, fully support the work done by our fire department and wish to express that support in the strongest possible terms. We are very concerned that the events that have transpired have eroded the morale of the volunteers in our fire department and will have a negative impact on community safety.” Jim Edgson, North Westside’s RDCO director, insists there has been open communication with residents. “We are not keeping people in the dark. The regional district is working with the fire department out here (to ensure operations),” he said, adding that an acting chief has been hired. “We are making sure we are telling them everything we can.” Edgson says that under provincial legislation, labour matters can not be disclosed for the protection of both the local government and the employee. “We are following all legal practises,” he said.

Oyama crash claims life Morning Star Staff

A single vehicle accident in Oyama has left one person dead and another in hospital. Lake Country RCMP received a call at about 5 p.m. Monday that a Chevy pickup truck had lost control around the switchbacks and skidded around a corner before going Kris Clark over the embankment in the 5700 block of Oyama Lake Road. A 17-year-old male from Lake Country died at the scene. The passenger, a 17-year-old female from Germany, was taken to Kelowna General Hospital in critical condition and then was transferred to

Vancouver for treatment. “Preliminary findings indicate that speed appears to have been a major factor in the crash,” said Cst. Kris Clark, spokesperson for the Kelowna RCMP. This is the second fatal crash in less than a week on that same road. On July 18, an all-terrain vehicle left Oyama Lake Road and crashed down an embankment, killing two people. They have been identified as Joshua Mitchel Hoffart, 30, of Lake Country, and Maria Casandra Karountzos, 30, of Creston. The B.C. Coroner Service says the pair went down a 30-metre embankment on the ATV they were riding. The B.C. Coroner Service and RCMP continue to investigate the accident.

Machete attack sends man to VJH richard rolke Morning Star Staff

An Enderby man was sent to hospital after being attacked by a machete. On Sunday at about 8:47 p.m., RCMP were called to a home on Tamarack Road after receiving a report that a 20-year-old man had allegedly swung a machete at his father. “The investigation determined that the young man suffers from mental health issues,” said Gord

Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “It’s a very tragic situation and traumatic within a family dynamic.” The father was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with injuries to his shoulder, arm and hand. “They are not life-threatening injuries,” said Molendyk. The suspect, who was arrested for assault with a weapon, was also taken to VJH for a psychiatric assessment. The results of the evaluation will determine whether charges are laid.

House fire cause still undetermined richard rolke Morning Star Staff

damage because of the heat,” said Lawrie Skolrood, deputy fire chief. “There are several theories so we need some laboratory work done.” A private lab at the Lower Mainland has been commissioned to investigate the evidence further. Skolrood isn’t sure when test results may be available. The fire’s point of origin has been determined but no details are being provided while the investigation is underway.

Man uninjured after going down slope richard rolke Morning Star Staff

An Armstrong man escaped serious injury after his vehicle plunged down a steep bank in the North Westside Road area. According to police, a Chevy Silverado was in the 9400 block of Hodges Road when it went down a hill Saturday. “Some of the banks in that area go down a long

ways, especially on corners,” said Gord Molendyk, Vernon RCMP spokesperson, when asked about the terrain. The 65-year-old motorist required the assistance of the North Westside Fire Department to get back up the bank. It’s believed that alcohol may be a factor in the accident and impaired driving charges may be pending.

Working with the provincial government, the Okanagan Basin Water Board has been given a five-year agreement for milfoil control on Okanagan lakes. The OBWB has developed a new operation plan and comprehensive mapping for the 53 kilometres of shoreline that is treated through this program. The new system means operations will be able to continue through summer 2018 without the need to notify the province.

“In the past we’ve had to notify the province twice a year, even though our operations have been relatively consistent for decades,” said James Littley, OBWB office and project manager. “This year we were able to collaborate with provincial staff to develop best practices that will let us control the weeds, and protect the lakes’ sensitive species and ecosystems.” Due to the rigorous process required for a five-year permit, the program’s sum-

mer harvesting was delayed by about two weeks this year. It started in Osoyoos and Wood lakes July 16 rather than July 2. “This year we’re a little behind where we would like to be, but our operators are working longer shifts and more days to make up for lost time,” said Littley. “In the long-term though, this plan will allow us more flexibility and allow us to make greater headway in reducing the density in really troubled areas.”

Witnesses are being sought in a recent Lumby accident. On July 15 at about 4 a.m., a white and black Dodge Charger lost control on the corner and skidded across a front lawn in the 200 block of Whitevale Road. “When police arrived, the car was still running with the keys in the ignition. However, the driver was nowhere to be found,” said Cpl. Henry Proce. “The vehicle owner claims the car was idling in front of his residence in Lumby when it was stolen by persons unknown. The vehicle itself was a com-

Council way off course

s we all know, a young woman recently sustained injuries while diving off the cliffs into Kalamalka Lake. Since then, much of the debate has revolved around the dangerous activity, which has claimed lives over the years, and whether steps can be taken to prevent future incidents. But not in Coldstream where politicians are more focused on the response from members of the Vernon Search and Rescue unit. “It seems emergency services chose the wrong boat launch to use — the busiest boat launch on one of the busiest weekends,” said Coun. Richard Enns of the Kalavista Drive launch. As it was a beautiful summer day, there’s no question that the Kalavista Drive launch would have been busy as locals and tourists soaked up the sun on the lake. It is also a well known Richard Rolke fact that traffic congestion problems exist on the road and that issue has driven the municipality’s agenda in recent years. However, it should be pointed out that time is of the essence during an emergency and it’s likely Vernon Search and Rescue headed to the boat launch that was the closest and provided easy access. Instead of worrying about whether a few boaters or residents were inconvenienced, the goal was to provide assistance to someone whose life could have been in jeopardy. Mayor Jim Garlick has suggested that emergency personnel determine where the best location is to launch a boat from. But where would that be? Kekuli Bay Provincial Park is too far down Highway 97 so by the time Search and Rescue gets there, it may be too late to help a person in distress. There are also boat launches on Westkal Road and Kinloch Drive but they are

extremely small and there is even less parking available than on Kalavista Drive. You can also expect that they are at capacity on a hot summer day. Now did Coldstream council receive complaints about Vernon Search and Rescue’s use of the Kalavista boat launch that day or is this is just a hold-over from the previous conflict between boaters and residents there? In reality, one would expect that most boaters, including those who live along Kalavista Drive, would be appreciative of Search and Rescue and any other emergency personnel given that any time you go out on the lake, there is the prospect of needing assistance yourself. Obviously Search and Rescue can take measures to ensure the flow of vehicle traffic, especially for ambulances, but did this really warrant debate at Coldstream council? What’s next — slamming the fire department for blocking off busy Kalamalka Road because of a blaze or pointing fingers at RCMP officers when an accident slows traffic down? Instead of expressing concerns, Coldstream council should have been extending praise to Vernon Search and Rescue, particularly given that all of the members are volunteer and are not paid to go out and help those in need. If Coldstream or other municipalities had to take on the responsibility of such a service themselves, the cost to taxpayers would soar. But, thankfully, there are some reasonable opinions around Coldstream council chambers. Going against the grain, Coun. Gyula Kiss defended Search and Rescue and dismissed the need to develop boat launch protocols. “This type of thing doesn’t happen very often, maybe once a year,” he said. And it was with those few words that some perspective was brought to the entire discussion. Such instances rarely occur so why is this even on the radar?

You can fight big brother, and win, it turns out. That sound you heard last Thursday was the shouts of joy from some 60,000 B.C. Hydro customers who emerged victorious after fighting against the installation of smart meters in their homes, crying foul about potential health hazards and privacy invasion. The provincial government has announced those hold-out customers can elect to keep their analog meters until they break down — or their accuracy seal expires—or they can receive a digital meter with its transmission function turned off. But retaining the analog meter or getting a declawed smart meter will come with a price, roughly $20 per month to read the meter, as well as $100 to have a deactivated smart meter installed. Smart meter opponents have long questioned the potential adverse health effects of the new meters, with some claiming the meters are an invasion of privacy as it also gathers data about power use during various parts of the day. Others objected to having the smart meter shoved down their throats. Now the question is whether the 1.8 million customers who did have smart meters installed, regret not having fought harder against the tech change. Judging from the volume of e-mails this newspaper has received, this one shapes up to be another case similar to the introduction of the HST. For many people, it’s not about the smart meters or the tech they employ, but the manner in which it was introduced. And certainly, the province probably realized this was going to be a case of where it could not win the public relations battle. — Richmond Review

Wildlife deserves protection

hanks to Jennifer Smith for writing the article entitled, "Mother and cub in Armstrong school yard killed" June 28. While reading the article and for many hours afterwards, I could not stop imagining the pain and misery this mother bear must have felt since waking up with a cub last spring. The fact that she was living near a school and was undernourished tells us she was hungry, every minute of her life, with no adequate wild space to hide from the constant rain storms and teach her cub how to feed himself. Yet, she is only one of the many bears looking for food in our area. Most of these bears are undernourished and stressed. It begs the question of why choose such a miserable life? We're often told it's because it offers cheap and available junk food, but I no longer believe that. She obviously wasn't finding it. The bears are among us because they see no other possibility. Where can they go? Where are the places free of people? The forests and grasslands that offer insects, small rodents and berries? The quiet streams with salmon?

grAteful for Help I miss my dog Shadow. She has been my constant and most faithful companion for the last seventeen years. It was with a very heavy heart that I watched her health decline this last year due to old age. There was not a thing that I could do to stop it. Time was going to win this fight, and despite medications to help with her arthritis and pain, which as a side effect caused liver problems, her body was just giving out. One by one, she stopped doing her favorite activities, and when the time came that I had to carry her out to the grass to do her business, and she could barely stand to do that, I knew that the time had come to make the dreaded decision. Her quality of life was now so poor that I had to do what was right for my best friend. I had to let her go. It was time to end her pain. I started calling around to see how much it would cost to euthanize Shadow, and I was astounded at the costs. I had planned to have her cremated and have her ashes laid to rest with mine, but what with all of the fees and costs associated with the entire process, I knew that this was

Everywhere there are either people or factory farms and clear cuts, neither of which support any life. Our areas are developing in ways that make it impossible for bears or other wild animals to continue being part of the ecosystem. As we allow more factory farms, more logging or build more developments, every wild animal is first submitted to months or years of hunger, stress and extreme discomfort to finally die by a thousand cuts. Overfishing, warming oceans, and fish farms have already caused the loss of most ocean animals. CBC's The National told us recently that one in eight species of birds are threatened with extinction as a result of factory farms. B.C is one of the last places on earth where we still have the possibility to keep forest ecosystems that can support wild animals, and we know they are essential to healthy forest ecosystems. No amount of money will ever make up for their disappearance. Unless we are willing to make a place for wild animals, they will shortly be gone forever. They will never ever come back again. Huguette Allen

not going to happen and in fact, I was going to have trouble coming up with just the fees for putting my poor girl out of her misery. It turned out that I was lucky enough to be working with a wonderful person who had a contact at K9 Control and after contacting them, told me that K9 would be willing to cover the euthanization fees for me. I had never felt such relief in my life. I could now end Shadow’s pain, and it did, but not mine. I still miss Shadow every day. I am very grateful to K9 control for their generous help and wish that others would emulate their compassion. D.l. Whitnack WAter CoNCerNS More than a year ago, the Regional District of Central Okanagan forced us to install water smart meters. Remember, at no charge to us. LOL. As a result, we pay a maintenance fee, an assets recovery fee and God knows what else fees will be introduced in the future. I would like to address the commonly used terms water conservation actions or initiatives. How many speeches and political

career have been built on this topic? This nonsense is repeated widely by many who do not wish to think about it. Okanagan Lake is being recharged every spring, year after year. The water comes from the surrounding mountains, where melted snow and rain floats freely down to the lake. I should mention that Okanagan excess water floats south of Penticton to the U.S. free of charge. I would like to be understood correctly that water conservation is very important in the regions relying 100 per cent on table (well) waters. At Westshores Estates, we drink from the lake. Now, let's talk about environment and economy. To get our fresh salad or berries, trucks are burning tons of diesel fuel bringing produce from the south. How many people highlight importance of locally grown foods? Many of us settled here because of the lifestyle. Semi-rural living, growing our food, clean air and quiet neighborhoods is what we desired. Gardening delivers healthy choices to our diet. It promotes local economy. It keeps people active and

healthy. Instead we want to export our money bringing here processed, commercially grown and polluted foods. Mr. Rotheisler, RDCO environmental services manager, is absolutely right about electricity and chlorine usage related to heavy water consumption. For many years, I was vocal about the idea of having two water systems built in places like the Okanagan Valley. One system where water is treated to the highest possible standards (and priced accordingly) and one untreated (water pumped directly from the lake) used for washing and watering our gardens and lawns. Despite the cost reduction on cleaning, we would save our atmosphere from poisonous chlorine. Some may say, “But the cost of building it." Yes, the cost will be high but we have the responsibility to our future generations. Don’t we? Catalytic convertors in the cars (re-burning 95 per cent of car fumes) are expensive too. Today, we install them in every car despite the cost because we have chosen to breathe fresh air. So, RDCO please stop telling us

that new rates are for our own good. They are not. Stan Mielniczuk

Artist shows nature in all its ‘realness’ Ted Hayward, who is taking a bite out of the international art world, is back in Vernon for his Homecoming Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Among sculptures of bears and birds, and precise paintings of wild cats, rhinos, buffalo and other creatures great and small, it’s the one canvas at the 2011 London Wildlife Artist of the Year exhibition that really stands out. Reminiscent of Discovery Channel’s Shark Week, with its pointed teeth painted in Jaws-like precision, Ted Hayward’s life-size painting of a great white shark is scary; scary how real it looks, that is. A former Vernon resident, who has just returned to live in the North Okanagan after residing in Taiwan for the past 10 years, Hayward is fascinated with the world’s disappearing landscapes, people and wildlife, hence this painting of the great white. The shark is just one of many paintings, portraits, and prints that will be shown locally at Hayward’s Homecoming show, opening Saturday at Gallery Vertigo. “I consider my art to be revolutionary,” said the Kelowna-born artist who moved to Vernon with his family when he was a youth. “One does not need a degree to interpret any of my paintings; whether it’s a full-sized great white shark, or a scene of hummingbirds. The theme of all my work has always been the representation of our natural heritage.” That love for wildlife and art came early as Hayward, who was homeschooled, was always drawing and painting. “I have fond memories of growing up here. My parents tried to put me in various schools around town, but the teachers always found me doodling on the backs of people,” he laughed. It wasn’t until years later that Hayward went on to pursue art professionally. “I headed in a lot of different career paths. I was told to pursue my dream; ‘choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life’ is the old adage. My parents told me it was a great dream, but maybe I should pursue architecture.” Five years ago, Hayward listened to his inner voice and started painting seriously

Vernon-raised artist ted Hayward, with his painting of a great white shark at the London 2011 Wildlife artist of the Year exhibition, is about to show his landscapes, portraits and wildlife paintings at his Homecoming show at Vernon’s Gallery Vertigo. while living in a remote Taiwanese village. He didn’t take classes or immerse himself with online study, but just started painting, using hobby paints, mostly acrylics, to create his works. “I had enough time and was financially stable enough with the cost of living there. I thought why not pursue this, so I gave it a shot,” he said. Like most emerging artists, his goal was to get his work shown in a major New York City art gallery. It only took one year to reach that goal. It all started when Hayward entered a project instigated by American punk-rock band Green Day. The band was looking for artists to bring attention to environmental issues, so Hayward applied and managed to get one piece — a small landscape that shows part of a waterfall (a print of the landscape will be shown at Vertigo) — into the New York

gallery hosting the project. “(However,) they wouldn’t hang it because it didn’t fit the mainstream contemporary theme of the gallery,” said Hayward. “The painting was sitting there propped up in the corner.” By fluke, or some divine intervention, a woman happened to walk by the gallery’s window and saw the painting sitting there. “She liked it and got a hold of me,” said Hayward, adding the woman happened to be with New York’s Merton D. Simpson Gallery. “I was lucky enough. From there I was able to get into more prestigious galleries,” he said. Besides showing work in New York’s Soho Gallery for Digital Art and the Nabi Gallery, as well as L.A.’s Gina M. Woodruff Gallery, Hayward says he had a great experience showing his six-by-nine-foot canvas of the great white shark at the Mall Galleries in London for the 2011 Wildlife Artist of the

Year exhibition. “The great white shark for that show is the single, most popular painting I’ve done,” said Hayward. “When I was teaching in Taiwan, my students loved my painting of the shark.” The shark also took the longest to research. “A guy in the U.S. did a resin replica of the shark’s teeth - they were going to redo the Jaws movie, and I was able to find the artist’s replica of the shark’s mouth and teeth. That took the most amount of time to paint,” he said. The Vertigo exhibition will be the first and last time Hayward shows the shark in Canada as it is about to head to a gallery in Long Beach, Calif. And his journey into the art world has even more success stories. Besides winning first place (acrylics) at the American Art Awards from 2009 to 2011, Hayward has also been published in a number of art journals and magazines, and was recently commissioned by recording artist Andre Nobels to contribute works for two of his albums. He has also embraced the digital age. Current projects include pioneering a radically-new digital interactive art form, multi-sensory moving art, in partnership with infoTAG Technologies of Austin, Texas. He is also currently a freelance illustrator for Advocate Art of England, and for Muse Harbor Publishing in L.A. But despite all the success, Hayward says he is most excited, and a tad nervous, about his Homecoming show at Vertigo. He has already taught a drop-in children’s art class at the artist-run gallery and plans to get more involved. Besides the shark, the exhibition will mostly feature small wildlife works - chickadees and hummingbirds, as well as recent portraits. “It’s great to have shows at international galleries, but I am most excited about this one because it’s my first solo show in Canada, and it’s happening where I am from,” he said, adding his father and two siblings, who live in Vernon, will be at the reception. “It’s absolutely fantastic to be back in Canada. It’s an artist’s paradise here in the North OkanaganShuswap, and so inspiring.” Hayward’s Homecoming opens with a reception Saturday from 7 to 9 p.m. The show runs to Aug. 24. Gallery Vertigo is located at #1-3001 31st St. upstairs from Krause Jewellers.

For The Morning Star

Continuing with the summer series, the Vernon Film Society presents an adaptation of Mohsin Hamid’s best-selling novel, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Monday. Mixing romance and tragedy with the narrative of thwarted ambition, director Mira Nair combines a thriller with a modern morality tale in this story of a Pakistani man whose pursuit of corporate success on Wall Street leads him on a strange path to the world he left behind. At an outdoor café in Lahore in 2011, a Pakistani man named Changez (Riz Ahmed) tells Bobby (Liev Schreiber), an American journalist, about his experiences in the U.S. Flashback 10 years

The American dream seems within his grasp, complete with a smart and gorgeous girlfriend Erica (Kate Hudson). But when those planes crash into the twin towers Sept. 11, a

cultural divide slowly begins to open between Changez and Erica. Changez’s dream soon turns into a nightmare: profiled, wrongly arrested, strip-searched, and interrogated, he is transformed from a well-educated businessman to a scapegoat and perceived enemy.

With time, he begins to hear the call of his own homeland. Ahmed gives a magnificent performance as Changez, whose attitude evolves from an eager willingness to assimilate into a deep unhappiness with his adopted country. The story told is

Lilies have to be seen

ecause of unforeseen circumstances, Gail Morgan of BX Creek Lilies will not be writing this column as previously stated, so here I am again. I was there Sunday and the lilies were beautiful. You still have a chance this coming weekend to visit and enjoy these beauties. The colours are just fantastic and unless you see them for yourself, I just cannot give them enough praise. The garden will be open 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 4617 Pleasant Valley Rd. Call Gail at 250309-0528, if you would like to visit at Jocelyne sewell any other time. The recipe I gave you last time to deter mosquitoes makes a big batch. I used rubbing alcohol. I made only 1/5 of the recipe. I used it many nights. I guess it is not 100 per cent proof but it seems to help, and I also like the smell of cloves. The smell of alcohol goes away as the cloves marinate in it. I had a phone call about the squash shriveling and falling off. This happens often at the beginning of the season

A GArdener’s diAry

which is usually June. We always have rain and cooler temperature and the bees are few in this kind of weather. The plants do not get pollinated so the little fruits shrivel and die after a few days. Now that the warmer and sunnier weather is back, this problem should go away. It happens to me every year and I still end up the season with enough squash for all my needs. The rhizome-rooted irises are planted in mid or late summer. It is a good idea to dig up rhizomatous irises every four or five years so that weak rhizomes can be removed and the soil reworked and fertilized. After the plants have bloomed, lift the entire clump with a spade and separate it into small clusters of rhizomes. Choose only the largest and healthiest looking ones for transplanting. Let the hose run gently over these while you spade the soil deeply for the new plantings. Sprinkle bone meal over the spots and spade in. Irises demand plenty of rich soil so mix in a generous portion of rotted manure or compost. Good drainage is a must and will prevent borers and root rot. If several are planted together, space them in a circle or half moon, leaves

turned outward. If leaves turn inward, the growth will soon centre and become crowded. Make each hole deep and broad enough to take the roots without crowding and adjust the height of the plant so that the rhizomes are barely covered. Trim any broken or torn roots; trim the leaves to about three to four inches. (This is the only time the leaves should be cut. You cut them to reduce the demand for moisture, which the disturbed roots would not be able to meet.) The rhizome should be left bare or only a small amount of soil on them. If planted too deep, they will not bloom. Tamp the soil firmly. During July the first dying leaves of the bearded irises will droop. Remove these. However, do not cut off the leaves until they have obviously wilted. Many gardeners make the mistake of cutting down all the leaves as soon as the blooms have faded. The leaves must be allowed to grow and produce food for the rhizomes to store for the following season. In the middle of March, early April, give the beds a dressing of bone meal. The heavy spring rains or melting snow will carry the nutrients down to the plant roots. For more information: 250-558-4556.

Raspberries bring flavour

hat’s red, yellow, black, or purple, grows in temperate zones

the world over, has enormous nutritional value, and is delicious? Raspberries of course, and they are now cathi Litzenberger readily available to purchase or to pick from farms and markets in the area. As a child I didn’t like picking raspberries. Back then the bushes were extremely prickly, the sun bakingly hot, I was always thirsty, and I disliked the fact that the rest of my siblings didn’t pick their fair share (of course that was my perception), which kept us there longer than I deemed necessary. Worse was the fact that in another few days we’d be sent back to the Heal’s garden to pick again. Now I see the generosity in Mom being invited to send over the kids to glean what was left of the crop, but back then I just wished we could get our jam another way. Nothing goes together like raspberry and chocolate and today’s chocolate and raspberry mousse cups are sure to be a hit with summer guests. The raspberry salad with its feta and golden raisins, blends well with the raspberries and mustard vinaigrette to add a sweet-salty tang. Couscous is always a great speed-prep ingredient for this colourful salad. ChoColate RaspbeRRy Mousse Cups 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

kitchen wit & wisdom

Meals On Wheels Dinners @ Home

2 tbsp. vegetable shortening 1 tablespoon (1 envelope) unflavoured gelatin powder 1/4 cup cold water 1/2 cup boiling water 1/4 cup sugar 1- 1/2 cups fresh raspberries 2 cups whipped cream (1 cup heavy cream, whipped) 6 3-1/2 inch muffin foil liners To make chocolate cups, in a small saucepan, heat chocolate chips and shortening over high heat, stirring continuously until melted. Using the back of a metal spoon, spread the chocolate evenly inside six 3-1/2-inch foil muffin liners. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. To make the mousse: in a bowl, sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the cold water and allow the gelatin to absorb the water for 2 minutes. Add the boiling water and stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Transfer the gelatin mixture to a blender. Add the berries and blend until liquefied. Set a finemesh strainer over a bowl and pour the mixture through the strainer to strain out the seeds. Refrigerate until thickened (see tip below). Rinse the blender of any remaining raspberry seeds and return the thickened raspberry gelatin mixture to the blender. Add the whipped cream and blend until smooth. Refrigerate until thickened (see tip below). To assemble, peel foil from chocolate. Fill with mousse and top with fresh raspberries and a curl of chocolate. Tip: The gelatin should be the consistency of an extremely dense pudding.

Keep in the fridge for about 90 minutes (depending on volume, thickness and chilling temperature). Confetti CousCous with MustaRd vinaigRette 1/2 cup corn oil 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1 clove garlic 3/4 tsp. dry Italian seasoning 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth 1 tablespoon corn oil 1 pkg.

Set aside. For the couscous: bring chicken broth and oil to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Stir in couscous; cover, remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff lightly with fork. Spoon into large bowl. Meanwhile, cook yellow squash and zucchini in 2 quarts salted boiling water 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Add squash and zucchini to bowl with couscous. Stir in raspberries, feta cheese, red onion, raisins and pecans; toss gently to combine. Drizzle with mustard vinaigrette and toss until blended.

Gay Engensperger (centre), is thrilled that Viviane Falconer (left), and Bregita Spanier completed the quilt she started and now it is a prize in the Schubert Crafters’ Draw to take place Sept. 25.

A happy coincidence cara brady Morning Star Staff

Gay Engensperger likes getting things finished and happy endings. She got both, thanks to some friends at the Schubert Crafters. “All my life, I’ve liked to finish what I started. A few years ago, I started a gorgeous pure wool, hand-hooked rug, then one day when I was almost finished, my beloved cat clawed at the backing and I was discouraged and put it away on a shelf, knowing it would be a lot of work to finish it” she said. Engensperger, a Life Member of The Schubert Centre who has lived in Vernon since 1964, had mastered many skills over the years, including pottery, photography, writing, furniture refinishing, gardening and crocheting, with many beautiful finished products to show for her work. About the same time the rug was ruined, she had other responsibilities in her life and knew there would not be time to finish the rug. She took the part she had done and the remaining wool and a couple of rug hooks to The Schubert Crafters, hoping that some of the ladies might be interested in

finishing it. She didn’t hear any more until lately. A few weeks ago, she was at a Schubert Centre Pancake Breakfast and Flea Market/Craft Sale displaying her baby “halfghans.” She looked across the auditorium and saw a beautiful quilt where the craft ladies had their items. Engensperger noticed another large item and went over to look at it. It was a red hooked rug, like the one she had donated, and she told the women the story of her hooked rug. “Yes, this is the one,” they told her. “I was so thrilled and grateful that they had finished the rug. They had followed the pattern at the other end of the rug to get the floral pattern. It was an amazing coincidence that the same ladies who had been able to repair the backing and do the hooking were the same ladies at the craft table that day. It was a remarkably happy ending to the story of the rug,” she said. The rug (4’x6’) will be one of the prizes in the Schubert Crafters’ Draw to take place at the Sept. 25 birthday lunch. The tickets, at $2 each or three for $5, are on sale at the centre now.

RCMP ride into Armstrong for musical tradition Morning Star Staff

An event steeped in tradition, drawing thousands of fans each year, is riding into the North Okanagan today. The world-famous RCMP Musical Ride is coming to the Interior Provincial Exhibition grounds in Armstrong at 7 p.m. The RCMP Musical Ride represents a colourful Canadian tradition. The troop of 32 horses and riders will perform a variety of cavalry drills choreographed to music. Working through a unique medium,

they support the RCMP community policing efforts throughout Canada. The Musical Ride was developed in 1876 by early members of the North-West Mounted Police to display their riding ability and entertain the local community. It has evolved over the decades into a uniquely Canadian performance enjoyed by tens of thousands of spectators every year. Members of the Musical Ride are first and foremost police officers. They all have at least two years experience in active police work before volunteering for duty

with the Musical Ride. Surprisingly, most have no prior riding experience. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 plus GST for adults, $7 plus GST for children 12 and under. There are still tickets available but they are selling fast. Tickets are on sale at the IPE office (or order by phone 250-546-9406), Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce, Askew’s Foods in Armstrong, Salmon Arm and Sicamous and at Avalon Event Rentals in Kelowna.

Giving back is often associated with teaching, especially if you have skills which are in high demand. A good example of this is someone who teaches shop at the high school level. To teach shop at a public secondary school in B.C. requires two things. One, you need to have completed a teaching degree with a focus on trades technology education and two, you need to have an aptitude for Jane Muskens the trades. This would mean skills in such things as automotive service, welding, electrical and carpentry, to name a few. It’s the second thing which draws workers away from teaching and into industry, which pays significantly more. Today, plumbers and electrician have wages well beyond those of teachers. If you take into account those who are willing to move up north for work, the wage is often double. It’s not uncommon for Red Seal certified trades professionals to make more than $100,000 per year working in the mining, and oil and gas industry across Canada, mostly in remote areas. Shop teachers, on the other hand, although they have better working conditions and work less hours per week, don’t usually make a wage above six figures. So why would you become a shop teacher if

School’S In

you could take your aptitude for the trades and make significantly more money? I think one of the main reasons is that you are probably the type of person who wants more out of your job besides money. The idea of giving back to a group of young people, seeing them find how rewarding it can be to work with their hands and at the same time instilling within them a passion for the trades is probably something that drives you to teach. You may also realize that working away from your family, travelling in and out of camps and putting in long days isn’t something you are willing to do, regardless of the pay. I think this may be why some trades workers later on in their career may consider becoming shop teachers. Although it isn’t easy for teachers in some areas of Canada to find full-time employment, there is demand for trades teachers as industry tends to draw people away from this profession. Currently, Okanagan College offers a twoyear diploma in trades technology teacher education, which starts this fall. Upon completion of the diploma students will transfer to UBC’s Okanagan campus to complete their teaching degree. If you are interested in the trades, have industry experience and some certification you might want to consider this career. We need teachers to inspire our young adults to consider not just university degrees but trades training as well. Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College.

Armstrong hosts Showdown Junior Angus show in town Morning Star Staff

It is the event that all Canadian Junior Angus Association (CJAA) members look forward to when the warm weather starts. It takes some preparation and hard work to get ready for the largest Canadian Junior Angus show of the summer; Showdown. This year the event will take place in Armstrong from Thursday to Saturday with more than 50 participants. “We are really looking forward to taking our program back

to B.C.,” said Belinda Wagner, CJAA adult co-ordinator. “It has been 10 years (since we were there) and we should have a whole new group of Juniors that will be able to participate in the great show.” The CJAA board has worked hard all year to plan this show. The three days are packed with 13 event competitions. They can choose between beef conformation, photography, scrapbook, showmanship, marketing, graphic design, literature, grooming, judging, public speaking, farm sign, art and an Angus steak cook-off. The juniors can enter as many of these events as they want and points are awarded per entry.

The top prize is being named the grand aggregate. Being the winner of the grand aggregate award means the individual is the top Angus junior in Canada for the year, not to mention they receive a nice, shiny buckle. “Showdown is a lot fun and has been very successful each year. Showdown provides an educational, inspirational and leadership-oriented experience for young agriculture enthusiasts,” said Wagner. “On top of partaking in the big event, you can take in the natural beauty that Armstrong and surrounding areas offer. Come out and support the future leaders of tomorrow’s agriculture industry.”

Join the fourth annual No-Wake Flotilla. The Lower Shuswap Stewardship Society is inviting residents to paddle the Shuswap River from Grindrod Park to Mara Provincial Park Sunday. “All non-motorized craft are welcome to join the fun. Row boats, stand up paddle boards, canoes and kayaks will be participating in this mass paddling event,” said Jess Washtock, with the society. “The No-Wake Flotilla celebrates the many nonmotorized ways to enjoy the beautiful Shuswap River and raises awareness of the effects of power boat wakes on both the shoreline ecosystem and other river users.” The launch will take place at Grindrod Park at 10 a.m. A shuttle bus will be available for those

paddlers who want to leave their vehicle at Mara Provincial Park. The bus will depart Mara Park at 9:40 a.m. to take participants back to Grindrod Park in time for the launch. There will be lunch at the Mara Hall at noon. Paddlers must bring their own lunches and life jackets. Individuals looking for a shorter paddling adventure can join the group at Mara Hall at noon to paddle the lower stretch of the Shuswap River to Mara Provincial Park. The event will wrap up at Mara Park at about 2 p.m. with refreshments on the beach by the boat launch. For more information, call 250-804-9260 or 250-804-9915

The Vernon Tigers celebrate their Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League Championship after grounding the host Kamloops Venom 8-7 in Game 4 of the best-of-five championship series Sunday night at Memorial Arena. Right: Vernon’s Jordan Orr (facing) slips a bounce shot between the legs of netminder Dalan Etter in Game 4.

Tigers claim Junior B boxla crown Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Source For Sports Tigers are through to their first B.C. Junior B Lacrosse Championships since 2009, and they did it in dramatic fashion. Darrell Landels scored the winner with 40 seconds left as the Cats edged the host Kamloops Venom 8-7 to win the bestof-five Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League series 3-1 Sunday night at Memorial Arena. Burnaby will host provincials over the B.C. Day weekend at Bill Copeland Arena. Both the Mainland and Vancouver Island leagues are still in playoffs. Craig Bigsby and Jordan Orr each pulled the hat trick for the Tigers, who got one goal from Nolan Frame and two assists from Sean Conners in the oven-like Memorial. Frame, who was a rookie at 2009 provincials, is thrilled to be going back in his final year. “That was one of the biggest reliefs,” said Frame. “Every time I’ve been in the finals, it’s been against the Venom. “The whole series was stressful. Every game was close and low scoring. Joel (Fruncillo, netminder) did a lot for us in that series. “Our team knew we deserved it. I’ve never had a team like this. It’s awesome to go out on your graduating year with a team that’s so in sync together.” Of the four games, the widest scoring margin was three

goals. Fruncillo anchored Vernon’s defence with a sparkling 6.25 goals-against average in the final, capped by a 52-save showing Sunday. Vernon co-coach Keith Hanna said the scorelines were indicative of how tightly the teams played. “It didn’t come easy, that’s for sure,” said Hanna. “It was a great series and Game 4 was no different. It was a close, close series and Kamloops gave it a great effort. “It gave us confidence in our game-plan, and it gave us confidence with each of our teammates now. That’ll really help us going forward.” Vernon, who ended the regular season at 12-3-1, held period leads of 4-3 and 5-3. Things got a bit wild late in the third, with some back-and-forth scoring. The Venom, who finished at 5-10-1 and upset the topranked Kelowna Raiders in the semifinals, equalized with a minute to play before Landels put it away for good. “You could tell the heat got to everybody,” said Hanna. Jerome Thorne and Blaine Boomer, each with a pair, and singles by Max James, Brody Jorgensen and Brett DeFrias replied for the Venom. Kamloops’ Riley Polacik summed up his post-game feelings via Twitter: “2 sprained thumbs, bruised legs, stiff neck, but right now nothing hurts worse than my heart #venom #lacrosse #endofafunseason.”

Vernon took 40 penalty minutes to Kamloops’ 10. Tenacious Tiger defender Austin Lewarne was sent off early in the second period after taking his fifth minor. The Tigers killed 13-of-17 minors, including two full 5-on3 advantages. “Our special teams were game-changers,” said Hanna. “They were where we added to our scoring and stopped theirs.” “Our dee played really big and really mean against the fast, skilled offence Kamloops has.” With key Tigers Mason Limb and Liam Drabiuk missing Game 4 to work commitments, and Lewarne ejected, Vernon captain Brett Hanna logged a ton of minutes, working powerplay, transition and short man. Keith Hanna also credited two-way players Landels, Quinton Harrish and Liam McPhee for stepping up in Lewarne’s absence. He also praised rookies Ray Guidi and Aaron Green, who saw their first action the final. 2013inCivic DX “Running and playing both ends of the floor was a chalMODEL SHOWN: FB2E2DEX lenge and they came up to it.” Lease for Offensively, the Tigers were too deep for the Venom to Ω 2.99% APR contain. $ came “When they keyed on Sarazin and me, then Bigsby out scoring,” said Frame. “Then they tried tomonths. key on him and bi-weekly for 60 MSRP $16,935 includes freight & PDI. they couldn’t, and we had other players that put up numbers.”

Murphy marvellous for Humpbacks Morning Star Staff

Kevin Mitchell/Morning Star

The Leko Precast Camels snapped a three-game winless streak by grounding Pushor Mitchell Advocates 4-0 Monday night at Parkinson Rec #9 Field in Kelowna. Ageless veteran striker Al Murphy ended a lengthy scoring drought with a natural hat trick as the second-place Humpbacks went to 9-1-3 in the Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League. Murphy headed in the winner off the crossbar after a Rob Hulstein corner and then made it 2-0 when he finished fromseven yards after a nice square ball by Zane Klym. The tough-as-nails Oyama product finished the hatty with another feed, in tight, by Klym, who in turn closed the first-half offence on a pass from Murphy (Rocky Mountain Transport Man of the Match). Defender Ron Krause and striker Gord Howard, who was nursing an injury, shared the shutout. Penticton United stayed in the top-four with a 3-1 win over Big O Tire/Turn-Key Ogopogos at Marshall #1. United (9-3) pressured early and mighty keeper Jorgen (Yogi) Kongsdorf recorded some brilliant saves while releasing no rebounds. Penticton finally beat Kongsdorf in the middle of the half. Roland Riedstra took a beautiful cross

from Parm Kler and buried a corker for the equalizer just before half. The second half was full of chances for both teams, but Kongsdorf, having his best game of the year in taking the Wendy’s Baconator Man of the Match, kept the 5-7 Ogopogos in the game. Kler, Henry Czerwonka, Volker Otto, Paul Hunter, Brad Conlin, Gary Dill, John Garner and Riedstra all had glorious chances to give the Ogopogos the lead. Penticton fooled Kongsdorf, who ducked as the ball just grazed his head and hit the crossbar and in, to give them the lead. United added the clincher in the final seconds. Kler, Dave Hampton, Mark Wasylyk and Kerry Zubot leave soon for the World Masters Games, Aug. 2-11, in Torino, Italy. Jim Sparrow of the Kal Tire 50+ team and former Vernonite Eric Stepura, now of Vancouver, are playing for Big O along with pick-ups from other countries. Vernon Liquor Store Stars crushed Cantina’s Pub 8-1 at warm and windy Kettle Valley Park. While there was no moment of silence, Andrew Winston paid tribute to Rob Bauml’s performance of the previous week by netting three goals with Fitzpatrickesque precision. Only moments after the opening whistle, Winston converted a cross in the sixyard box. The Stars (6-6-1) gave Cantina’s

(3-9-1) fits throughout the half, dominating possession and providing keeper Ted Lurkins the time needed to adjust to life more than 50 metres from the lake. John Matejka and Art Renaud added two goals each, while Rick Danyluk returned to form with stellar finish, proving the money outlaid for his treasured Steve Fitzpatrick Semi Elite Training video was not entirely wasted. Cantina’s responded with one in the second half, taking advantage of Danyluk’s failure to share his video with his back line earlier in the week. Riverdancing Steve Frost pulled the hat trick and speedy Sergio Sartori supplied a deuce as North Country Appraisals Kickers ambushed winless Bosman Accounting 8-0 at Mission 71 Field. Floyd Ryan, Wil Kruiper and Lars Martens provided singles as the Kickers remained alone in third place at 9-2-1. Meanwhile, in Kelowna Men’s Soccer League 35+ action, Penticton shut down Vernon Kal Tire 2-0 at windy City Park in Kelowna. Penticton connected about 20 minutes in on a run through the middle and then tallied the clincher late in the second half when Kal Tire got caught trying to push for an equalizer. The Tiremen were missing snipers, Bryan Schenker, with injury, and Jesse Knight, due to too many yellow cards.

Vernon teams go 1-2 at B.C.s Vernon crew ranks third

Morning Star Staff

A pair of local entries each went 1-2 at the B.C. Ball Hockey Championships last weekend in Vernon. Playing in the B Division, the shortbenched Vernon Whalers opened the action with a 5-3 loss to the Burnaby Bombers Friday night at Kal Tire Place. Former Viper captain, and current assistant coach, Dave Robinson, his cousin and ex-Everett Silvertip Ryan Harrison and another ex-Viper captain Garth Gartner handled the Whaler scoring. Daniel Lafortune led Burnaby with two goals and two assists. “Most of our guys are working up north or away camping,” said Robinson. “In the regular season that would be fine, but in provincials when you’re playing teams that have 20 guys, we couldn’t keep up with them.” Alex Rodgers, a Salmon Arm product, scored twice as the Whalers bowed 9-2 to the Kelowna Drillers Saturday afternoon. Robinson and Harrison each had 2+4 as the Whale bounced the Victoria Rangers 9-2 in their final game. Justin O’Krane (2+3), Bryce Kakoske (2+1) and Blair Fernley (1+2) rounded out the offence in front of Blair Miller (18 saves). The Bombers silenced the Surrey Assassins 4-0 in the B final of the six-team tourney. In C division play, the Vernon Vikings fell 6-5 to the Burnaby Bombers #2 in their Friday opener, with Daniel Wiens, Mike McLaren, Russell Radziszewski, Scott McDonald and Rob Rintoul supply-

Klimek leaves Viper den for Saints Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Vipers’ defensive prospect list just got one name shorter. Jordan Klimek, who was headed to the Viper den as part of the trade that sent Adam Tambellini to the Fred Page Cup champion Surrey Eagles, is reported to have joined the Dubuque Fighting Saints of the United States Hockey League. Vernon also collected forwards Mason Blacklock and Demico Hannoun in the Tambellini deal, which saw Michael Roberts, a Vernon native, head to Surrey. Klimek, a 5-foot-11, 165-pounder, recorded six goals and 23 assists in 52 games with Surrey last season. With Vernon hosting the national Junior A championships this season,

Klimek’s decision left Vipers’ head coach/ GM Jason Williamson a little puzzled. “If you’re hosting a Royal Bank Cup, there’s not much more you can offer,” said Williamson, who noted the Vipers will receive future considerations from Dubuque as part of an agreement between the two leagues. “Kids have options and kids are jumping to higher levels. If you don’t want be here, we’ll move on.” Viper camp begins Monday, Aug. 19. Armstrong’s Dylan Chanter, who played the last two seasons with the Merritt Centennials, is also said to be joining the Saints, who will begin the 2013-14 season overseas by competing in the Junior Club World Cup, an international tournament,

The Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club team won the 2013 Jack McLaughlin Memorial PGA of B.C. Pro-Junior Presented By Ping Golf at the Summerland Golf & Country Club Monday. The team, which included head pro Alan Palmer and juniors Alex Francois, Diego San Pedro and Josh Zhang, shot an adjusted score of 125 to beat Jeff Hollman’s Penticton team by two strokes, and Vernon’s team, captained by Bradlee Jones, by three strokes. The Shaughnessy juniors each pocketed Ping G25 drivers, while the Penticton juniors, Haley Hewer, Jake Black and Jackson Coates, took home Ping G25 fairway woods and the Vernon juniors, Dexter Walton, Brandon Chai and Mac Gourdine, collected Ping G25 hybrids. Shaughnessy was led by 15-year-old Burnaby student Francois, who shot a sterling 63 on the strength of 11 birdies and only two bogeys. “This was my best round ever,” said the Moscrop High School student. “I made a lot of putts and my team really helped out on the holes I didn’t make birdie.” Added Palmer: “Josh made four or five birdies and Diego chipped in with an eagle. They all did a great job and it is awesome to win this award.” Palmer said the win has a lot of significance because of Jack McLaughlin’s ties to Shaughnessy. “I recently had lunch with Jack’s son Jim and I told him how important it was for me to personally bring a team to the pro-junior named in his honour. “Jack’s influence on me and on junior golf is something I really value, and to win this makes it even more special. We’ll be hosting the dinner to induct Jack later this year and it’s just a special thing to be able to win this.” The tournament included 23 teams consisting of one head, executive, head teaching pro or apprentice pro and three junior members who are members of the club where the pro is employed. Hometown favourite, Summerland Golf & Country Club’s Greg Machtaler, who won the PGA of B.C. Assistant Professionals title in June and the Pro-Assistant earlier this month with head pro Tyrel Babkirk didn’t win with his team, but he did make the most memorable shot of the day. Machtaler holed out for double eagle on the 18th from 237 yards out with a hybrid.

Bridge by Phillip Alder LET THE OPPONENTS HELP YOUR CAUSE Dean Martin said, “When your opponent’s sittin’ there holdin’ all the aces, there’s only one thing to do: kick over the table.” I have never seen that at a bridge tournament -- but perhaps it has happened. It is generally considered that the opponents are not on your team. But many of them, especially when on defense, will throw tricks in your direction. And there are also deals where you can force the opponents to help you. South is in four hearts. How should he plan the play after West leads the spade king? With the annoying mirror distribution in the minors, declarer has four potential

losers: one heart, two diamonds and one club. It looks as though South must guess trumps. If so, what is the percentage play? A priori, it is about 2 percent better to play for the drop. However, given the known uneven spade split, the odds have changed, making a finesse through East the favorite. Declarer, though, with reasonable minor-suit breaks, does not need to guess at all. He should win with dummy’s spade ace, ruff a spade in his hand, cash the club ace, play a club to dummy’s king, ruff another spade, lead a diamond to dummy’s ace, and ruff the last spade. Then South, who still has A-9-8 opposite K-J-10 in trumps, exits with a club or a diamond.

The opponents take their three tricks, but at trick 11, they must help declarer. Whatever is led, South ruffs low in the next hand and does not have to guess who holds the heart queen. Perhaps East and West would wonder if they should have upended the table near the end!

Ahearn, Rebecca Rosanna (Becky) July 24, 1945 July 16, 2013

The family of Rebecca Ahearn (nee Gilson) is sad to announce the passing of dear Becky in the early morning hours of July 16, 2013 at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Becky struggled with her health for the past few years, but always remained hopeful. She was blessed to have found the love of her life in 1980, and had 31 years of devoƟon before her husband, Gerall (Jerry) passed away. Jerry’s son and daughter in law, Terry (Butch) and Lorraine Ahearn embraced Becky, and together formed a cherished family bond that conƟnues to this day. Becky was a thoughƞul and supporƟve sister to Edgar (Ted) Gilson, and an enthusiasƟc sisterͲ inͲlaw to <atherine Wederson. She enjoyed and appreciated her friends and always spoke fondly of them. We will miss her passion for books and reading, her talent at all things needlework and her dedicaƟon to family and friends. Becky was predeceased by her husband (2011), mother (1996), father (1971) and great friend Marie Heikkila (2009). She is survived by Ted and <atherine, Terry and Lorraine and their son Sean as well as nieces MaggieͲMay Lytle, Rachel and Tommy Gilson and nephew Cory Gilson. Terry and Lorraine, Ann, Donna and Margaret have been steadfast and so very caring when Becky needed it the most, we oīer our hearƞelt graƟtude. A service will not be held. Wlease remember Becky’s kindness as we celebrate what would have been her 68th Birthday.
