New stretch of highway now open RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A highway born out of tragedy and heartache is being celebrated as a route to the future. Hundreds of residents turned out Friday for the official opening of the new four-lane, nine-kilometre Highway 97 between Oyama and Winfield. “I’m just thrilled it’s open,” said Noreen Guenther, a former Lake Country councillor who led the campaign to replace the old two-lane road along Wood Lake because of constant accidents, many fatal. “It was something we needed to fix.” The loss of life was front and centre for Norm Letnick, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA, as he took part in Friday’s festivities. “A lot of people were getting hurt and dying on the old highway,” he said. “This is going to mean a lot fewer police officers will have to give bad news to families.” The speed limit will be 100 kilometres an hour. “I pray we all continue to drive with due diligence,” said Ron Cannan, KelownaLake Country MP. Construction on the $77.9 million project began two years ago, and it includes two overpasses to connect the old highway to the new one, and two underpasses to provide access to Crown land. “I’ve been watching this (work) for two years because it’s going past my house,” said June Hughes, an Oyama resident. “It’s a big event, pretty impressive. It will be a wonderful road.” Also checking things out Friday was Mike Reiley, Coldstream’s director of development services, who was involved in early planning for the highway while he was with the District of Lake Country. “I wanted to see the fruits of my labour. It’s nice to see something we worked hard to get pushed through,” he said. It’s anticipated the highway will benefit North Okanagan residents heading to Kelowna International Airport, the University of B.C. or to work in Kelowna. “We’ll probably get more use out of this than people in the central and south Okanagan,” said Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA, who was master of ceremonies during the event.

Kevin Poole, Vernon’s economic development manager, says improved access to the airport is critical. “There are small technological companies here and they are traveling a lot to tie into markets in California,” he said. However, some businesses are concerned about the potential impact of shifting traffic patterns. “The spontaneous customer will likely be gone,” said Al Gatzke, who owns Gatzke’s Farm Market, which has benefited from high visibility along the now old part of the highway. “I am concerned because they (govern-
ment) don’t have signs up for services and attractions.” However, Gatzke has used the last
three years to prepare for the new transportation reality.

“We are becoming a destination with weddings and concerts. People will plan to come here,” he said. The old highway along Wood Lake will be turned over to the District of Lake Country and become known as Pelmewash Parkway. A variety of recreational activities could eventually occur there. “It will be pedestrian friendly and cycle friendly,” said James Baker, Lake Country mayor. During construction, the
Okanagan Indian Band and Westbank First Nation were involved in archeological work to ensure items of cultural significance were preserved. “Our people were able to provide a contribution and say what was here 7,000 years ago,” said Byron Louis, Okanagan Indian Band chief. The area was historically used by the Okanagan people for travelling. “The elders’ trail was indeed user by our people for thousands of years,” said Robert Louie, WFN chief.

Battling the monstrous waves, stinging jellyfish, frigid water and currents, five local swimmers conquered the English Channel. The five local relay team swimmers, dubbed the Okanagan Masters Swim Club (OMSC) Lake Monsters, recently conquered the treacherous English Channel in a remarkable time of 13 hours and 41 minutes. The team is made up of recent world masters winner Mike Stamhuis (Coldstream), Phred Martin, Denise Cesselli, Tracey Sutton and Leora Dahl. They swam from Dover, England to Calais, France, each athlete swimming an hour at a time and battling the elements along with physical and mental fatigue.

in 2008, said: “The team pulled together through much adversity. They battled very strong currents, cold waters, jellyfish and ocean swells in the middle of the Channels.” Coldstream’s own Stamhuis kicked off the swim, giving the team a great start. “Mike swam through some big waves to get us started but used the solo swimmer ahead of us as motivation and caught and passed her in his hour,” said Dahl on her blog. The team endured seven days of poor weather before conditions favoured an attempt of the famed crossing. Dahl stated in her blog: “I was told that I was closer to France at the 20 minute mark of my swim than I was at the end of my hour! The current had dragged me backward towards England, so that even though I swam 1.8 miles, by the end of the hour we were only 0.6 miles closer to France.” The Okanagan Masters Swim Club would like to extend congratulations to the OMSC Lake Monsters for their dedication, athleticism, and determination. Stamhuis and his mother Conny also competed in the 2013 World Masters Games in Torino, Italy Aug. 4 to 10 and both walked away with several medals. Conny earned gold in 100 back, 200 back and 50 breast and silver in 50 back. Mike secured gold in 200 free, 200 back and 100 free and bronze in 400 free

Issues over Spall rec site aired richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Residents of a Spallumcheen neighbourhood are demanding action. About 20 people from Chamberlaine Road attended a meeting with authorities Thursday to express concerns about activities on Rose Swanson Mountain, both on Crown land and public trails. “We can’t just sit here and talk,” said resident C.J. Edwards. Among the concerns are speeding vehicles on Chamberlaine Road, parties, fires, off-road vehicles broken glass and weapons being discharged. “We have an ugly pot of soup going on up there,” said resident Karen Smith. One man expressed concerns that animal carcasses are abandoned in the area, including up to 12 chickens a week ago. “No wonder cougars are

sticking around because they have free food,” he said, adding that situation places residents at risk. Residents insist they aren’t trying to close Rose Swanson Mountain off, but they want their concerns addressed. “We’d love to share it with everyone,” said Bev Peacock. “Maybe we can educate the kids in school or have signage or something in the newspaper.” Among the authorities at the meeting were representatives from the Ministry of Forests. “My interest is to get down to some solution-oriented discussions,” said Ray Crampton, resource manager. While willing to work with residents, Crampton says the ministry is reluctant to gate a non-status forestry road because of the impact to legitimate recreational users. “Blocking accesses is an extreme last resort,” he said.
Abbas El Gazzar, Pleasant Valley Secondary School principal, was ordered to let residents talk to students about the impact of parties. “If there is anything we can do as a school, we will do it,” he said. Also present at the meeting were the RCMP, the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Fire Department, community policing and Spallumcheen municipal staff. “Everyone is taking this seriously and doing what they can,” said Greg Betts, Spallumcheen’s chief administrative officer. The next steps will include residents working with community policing on neighbourhood initiatives while Spallumcheen council will be brought up to date on the meeting. “We need to keep pressure on the township. We need their support and the province’s support,” said Edwards.

Excavation re-routes trail traffic Morning Star Staff
Pedestrian traffic will be temporarily sent off course in one Vernon neighbourhood. Pedestrians and cyclists will be re-routed off the 25th Avenue multi-use path and on to a temporary sidewalk Monday and Tuesday between 37th and 41st streets. “There will also be a lane closure to vehicular traffic of the west-bound curb lane,” said Michael Klymchuk, the city’s municipal development technician.
“Pedestrians and cyclists are asked to be careful and use caution when using the temporary sidewalk. Motorists are asked to slow down in the area.” The city will excavate impacted soils in the multi-use linear park and adjacent properties for off-site disposal by truck. In order for the excavation to take place, four memorial trees and plaques will be professionally removed, stored and replanted back to their original locations.

A plan to change the Township of Spallumcheen’s official community plan’s land use designation in one specific area will go to a public hearing. Vernon-based Willowhaven Investments Ltd. hopes to change designation in the southeast sector’s south sub area from large holdings to a combination of large and small holdings, open space and commercial. Council unanimously approved second reading of the OCP amendment bylaw, though Coun. Christine Fraser excused herself from the discussion and vote as her family owns property in the southeast sector. “When we did the southeast sector we had it zoned more as multifamily and different zones,” said Spallumcheen Mayor Janice Brown. “They came with a different presentation, so it’s to change that.” The township required a financial cost recovery analysis be prepared by Urban Systems before proceeding to public hearing. Urban Systems came up with a 25-page report. While thorough, the analysis is based on assumptions. It shows the township could face annual costs of approximately $339,000 and property taxation revenues of between $335,000 and $414,000, depending on the assumptions. The report says resulting impacts on the
“We had it zoned more as multifamily and different zones.” — Janice Brown
township range from a net gain of slightly more than $75,000 per year to a net loss of about $4,200 per year. “It also shows the financial impact depends on the percentage of lots that are built upon during each phase,” wrote Joel Short of Urban Systems. “The township is better off financially once all of the homes are built in a development phase.” Brown said the township was cautious when it came to the financial cost recovery analysis. “We didn’t over do it,” she said. “The economic spinoff is really hard to figure out. We just figured out what it would cost us.” Applicant David Pusey will be on hand for the public hearing to answer any questions about the proposal. While it is anticipated to happen soon, a date for the public hearing has not been formally set. The southeast sector in Spallumcheen is located on the east side of Highway 97A between Head Road and the Swan Lake junction.

Active lifestyle on track with new trail richard rolke Morning Star Staff
A new recreational asset is moving ahead for Enderby residents. City council has approved a $43,500 contract for the Shuswap trail Alliance to install a multi-use trail and beautify the retention pond at M.V. Beattie Elementary School. “It’s really important for the whole community,” said Beryl Ludwig Coun. Beryl Ludwig. “With the trail, we want to make sure people are more active and perhaps leave
their vehicles at home.” The project is largely a result of residents of the Skyline Ridge area expressing concerns about the industrial look of the retention pond. “Particular issues raised by the residents included the high fences, the vast expense of exposed rock and insect populations,” said Kurt Inglis, assistant corporate officer, in a memo to council. “It was determined that beautifying the wetland through plantings and screenings was a strategy that could help resolve some of the concerns of the Skyline Ridge residents while at the same time transforming the retention pond into a pseudo-wetland which could become a community amenity.”
Construction starting is subject to the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District approving the conceptual design.

Lumby rec fee hike proposed richard rolke Morning Star Staff
It could cost more to have fun in Lumby. The White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee is recommending program fees climb two per cent in 2013/14. “There will be a minimal increase to keep up with the cost of maintenance and labour,” said director Randal Ostafichuk. However, some activities will cost the same as they do now. “The drop-in loonietoonie swim and Friday public swims will not be impacted,” said Ostafichuk. Fees for public events have been frozen so they remain affordable for residents during economically challenging times. “This is the third year they haven’t been increased so we may have to look at it next year,” said Tannis Nelson, community development co-ordinator, pointing out that operating costs must be
covered. The 2013/14
fee
structure must still be approved by the
Regional District of North Okanagan board.

It’s cryogenics time
recently saw a show on TV about cryogenics — the science of freezing your brain after you die so that someday, when they find the cure for whatever killed you, they can insert your brain into a new body and you can pick up where you left off. Riding that motorcycle. I’m not a doctor or a scientist, but it seems to me that there are two big problems with this idea, even if they ever figure out how to do it. One: What body are they going to put your frozen brain into? Maybe I’ve missed something, but don’t most bodies already have a brain in them? Are they going to take out my brain so they can put in yours? That doesn’t sound fair, even if they freeze my brain to reinstall later. Jim Mullen Excuse me, new brain, but I was here first. And if they use clones, well, it seems to me the clone might have a few things to say about it, like “You’re not taking my brain!” It seems we’d be back to square one — they’d have to take out one brain to put in another. And, really, is your brain that much more wonderful than anyone else’s? Now, there is some debate about this. Half the time, Sue doesn’t think I have a brain, but other times, she wonders if I only have half a brain. Either way, I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t pay to have it frozen. She’d rather spend the money on HBO or Starz or Netflix. It would be cheaper and certainly more entertaining. And what would I do while my brain’s frozen? What if it takes 50 years or 100 to cure me? Would I have to answer 50 years’ worth of e-mail when I woke up? What if they put me in a body that’s worse than the one I had when I died? Will I have to

learn how to use an even smarter phone than I have now? What will a house cost 50 years from now — $100 million? Where will I make that kind of money? As a greeter at Space Mart? The second thing that bothers me is the freezing part. I drank a milkshake a little too fast a few years ago and it hurt like crazy. A brain freeze. So what if having your brain really frozen, really hurts? How are you going to tell anyone? Your mouth, along with the rest of your body, was burned to ashes and thrown into the ocean off of Maui or someplace. So they wake you up 50 years later and you’re out of work, your wife is now married to Walt Disney and your head hurts like someone has worked you over with a nail gun. People will be telling jokes that you won’t get because you haven’t seen the holograms they’ve been watching, and you wonder who to vote for in our new 57-party political system. You’ll have to learn how to text (or whatever replaces it), something you haven’t even done in this life. Then there’s the health issue. Have you ever taken a steak out of the freezer that’s been accidentally overlooked for, oh, six or seven years? Would you eat it? I would, but would a normal person like you eat it? Most likely you’re thinking, why take a chance? Well, what do you think your brain will look like after it’s been on ice for 50 or 100 years? Maybe the cryogenic freezer lost power once every 15 years for a couple of hours. Maybe a little bit longer. You no longer qualify for a new body because you left a few IQ points on the freezer wrap. So they put what was left of your brain in some teenager’s cell phone, where you get to correct his spelling mistakes all day long because it’s the one job left where humans are better than machines.

There was a lot of celebrating Friday as the new four-lane highway between Oyama and Winfield officially opened. And rightly so as the project will significantly increase the safety of the travelling public, both locals and visitors. Certainly, government officials were all smiles and enjoying their role as the initiative came to full fruition. And that is expected as ultimately their actions resulted in construction not only being announced, but proceeding over the last two years. But most of the praise should be directed towards the community itself — the residents of Oyama and Winfield. Fed up with the rising death toll along the old highway at Wood Lake and the closures that forced traffic on to other routes, residents took their fight to the powers-that-be. There were meetings, letters, e-mails and phone calls. And even when it looked like Victoria was sitting on its hands, the residents didn’t give up. Joining them in this campaign were a number of organizations, including the Lake Country Chamber of Commerce, the Oyama Community Club and past and current members of Lake Country council and municipal staff. Special recognition goes to former councillor Noreen Guenther, who was relentless in her efforts, even handing provincial officials jars of Traffic Jam to make a point. Surrounding communities like Vernon also got on board. The new highway is a tremendous asset to the entire Okanagan and there’s no question that safety will be improved. Our hats are off to everyone who made this possible.

Bicycle paths are important
want to begin by thanking Vernon city council and the community for recognizing the need for safe bike lanes and paths for people to travel around our community. I have had so much pleasure in cycling with a group of seven-year-old girls from the soccer centre to town for ice cream. They are able to ride on a marked path with safe crossings for nearly 10 kilometres. The grid of cycling routes has expanded significantly and it's making a huge difference to our cycling experience. The motorists are expecting cyclists on these routes and have been very respectful. Recently, there was a letter to the editor stating that the individual resented having to pay for cycling routes as he thought they
in response In response to Gary Haas and his opinion of the discrepancy between wages of the Vernon Fire Department and the Vancouver Fire Department, I offer this comment. Unless you have walked in the boots and turnout gear of a trained firefighter, you really need to take a step back and look at exactly what training these men and women receive before stating that Vernon are over paid. The training these people receive is the same. Regardless of location, they all have to be able to deal with all of the same situations. The training is intense and ongoing. True, the number of call-outs and population are different. However, that does not equate to less training or a smaller wage. A Vernon firefighter could easily step into a large city fire department and do that job to the same effectiveness as one who was stationed there right out of the Justice Institute. Whether or not it is a multistoried building or an industrial setting, both Vancouver and Vernon firefighters must be trained to the same level of competence. As a member of a fire department here and having family in both departments, Vancouver and Vernon, I can tell you without bias that the training and experience level required is the same for both. You should be focused on the fact these people will some day rescue
were underused and a waste of taxpayers' money. While you may see an empty cycling lane, you can also see many empty crosswalks. That doesn't mean that they are not essential for safety and much-needed within this community. Let us have respect for the needs of people across demographics. There are many facilities and infrastructure that my tax dollars support that I don't often use including the seniors center, the hospital, skateboard parks, dog parks, the curling rink and hockey rinks, but I am glad to know that we have a community fortunate enough to support many different walks of life in their work and recreational pursuits. Ginny sellars
you and possibly a close friend or family member. That is worth the wage they receive. You can't put a price on someone's life. Both departments put their lives on the line every time they respond to a fire, chemical spill or motor vehicle accident. The same goes for all volunteer departments as well, and they don't get paid near what the other career firefighters do, but they still do the job fully trained. Carey Mackiewich Cosens bay In response to letter to the editor July 21 titled Cosens Bay. If I understand the writer’s point, his concern is not having road access all the way to Cosens Bay poses a danger to horseback riders and others using the park. As one of many horseback riders using the park over the past 20 years, the last thing any of us wanted to see was more traffic via a maintained road. As horseback riders, we were all aware of the dangers of the secluded trails — bears, cougar, rattlesnakes — and we used the park at our own risk. It is impossible to provide road access to every area of this 1,000-hectare park. Many times, the worst danger of the ride was getting into the park via Cosens Bay Road due to dangerous vehicular traffic within and outside of the park boundaries.
Have you ever tried riding your horse when a truck bouncing an empty boat trailer, going double the posted speed and spraying gravel in all directions, goes flying past you? Or how about a noisy motor bike coming out of nowhere behind your horse, or the car full of partiers who thought it was cool to blast their horn as they were swerving past you? Aside from the above issues, there are so many other reasons why increased traffic in the park would be disastrous. The fire hazard issue alone is huge. As residents of Cosens Bay Road, we are seeing a steady increase in the amount of vehicular traffic going into the park at night and we have witnessed the damage of vehicles going off road and tearing up the grasslands, lighting fires and leaving their litter behind. Large rocks have been placed along the roadside in a somewhat futile attempt to keep vehicles off the grasslands. We are almost willing to endure the endless party-goers that collect at the Cosens Bay parking lot as complaining just pushes them further into the park where the consequences are deadly. Should a wildfire ever get started in the park, we won’t be worrying about protecting the grasslands, species at risk and the wildlife, as it will all be destroyed. Wildfire is an enormous risk to homes.
Even without road access, have you ever looked at the beautiful tables and benches at Cosens Bay beach that have been damaged, the garbage strewn on the beach, evidence of fires and washrooms trashed? Have you ever stop to think about the hours of work required to repair this senseless vandalism? There is already a vehicle accessible beach at Twin Bays, with a large parking lot, beautiful maintained beach, lawns, picnic tables, washrooms and garbage bins for those that need an easy access to this magnificent park. Even though the parking lot at Twin Bays is not secluded, and vehicles are only allowed from dawn to dusk, there is a tremendous amount of vehicle break-ins happening in broad daylight. Just think what would happen at a secluded parking lot close to Cosens Bay. There are those that will say that the people in close proximity to the park are just trying to keep the traffic and park usage down for our own selfish reasons which is absolutely untrue. More parking for horse trailers at the entrance to the park at the existing parking lot is required. I can only hope that more people will write in and stand up for preserving our spectacular Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park as a resource for all to enjoy. Kathy nisse

Course in full swing despite floods roger knox Morning Star Staff
Normally, in a regular year, it takes a wayward shot to find Duteau Creek at the Coldstream Golf Course on the outskirts of Lumby. The meandering creek is in play on the first four of the ninehole, 2,715 yard course located at the corner of Highway 6 and Dure Meadow Road. And usually, for one week of the year, Duteau Creek will flood parts of the golf course thanks to spring flooding. But this year, course owner Vern Tilbert saw the creek cover vast parts of his course due to spring flooding, heavy rains, and overflowing dams on the Aberdeen Plateau which, according to Tilbert, caused the creek to rise from four inches to nearly three feet in one day. That day was May 18 and for the next two months, Tilbert’s course was covered in water. But during the two months of high water, Tilbert never closed his course to golfers. Not once. “We were averaging 50 golfers a day until media coverage of the flooding,” said Tilbert in the pro shop of his course he operates with his daughter, Vanessa. “We went down to five a day because people were under the impression the course was closed. “People as far away as Grande Prairie told me they’d seen me on TV and thought the course

One or two holes were flooded but the rest was playable. “We never stopped. We put in temporary flags or players would shoot to other flags for a different challenge.” Since opening his course in the fall of 1995, Tilbert has experience flooding every year every spring, flooding he termed as “a week of high water,” always around the time of Lumby Days in June. And the flooding hasn’t been a problem. “After a week, it’s gone and we’re back into play,” he said. “We’ve built up some spots on the course and built some of the (walking) trails up, put some planks up on some walkways. We’re used to having it happen.” The last few years, however, Tilbert said the flooding has become extreme. This year’s extreme
water, caused he said by water being released from the dams on the Aberdeen Plateau along with abnormally heavy rains, was a record for the course. “The No. 9 green was wet for four days before we could use it again,” said Tilbert. Yet through all of that water, the course came out relatively unscathed. Some of the grass died, and sticks and debris littered the greens, but Tilbert and his two-man staff were
COMPUTER
able to clean that up. “It makes a mess as lots of silt comes down and it was covered all over the green,” he said. “We cleaned and washed all of the silt off the greens and picked a bunch of sticks up.” What has helped Coldstream Golf Course over the years in dealing with high water is various environmentally sensitive plans Tilbert put in right from the start.

so no herbicides or pesticides are sprayed on or near the course. The grounds crew does minimal watering, dryland grasses were planted so the grass would stay healthy and not require a lot of watering. The course keeps its carbon footprint down by having only one power cart. “We’re a walking course and we try to keep our environmental footprint low,” said Tilbert. “We have quite a large bird population, two types of deer, coyotes, turtles and the spawning salmon. We’re an environmentally friendly and sensitive course.” Tilbert wanted to thank the businesses and the golfers who have stayed loyal and supported him for nearly 20 years. His course is again fully operational, playing 2,715 yards from the back tees with one par 3 and one par 5 hole. The rest are par 4s.

Nurse practitioners play a role roger knox Morning Star Staff
Kelly Rowe is an advocate for the benefit of nurse practitioners in small communities. The Armstrong councillor relayed a story to her colleagues and to visiting Interior Health (IH) presenters how a family member had some health issues earlier in the year and was “dealing with a lady in Enderby.” The woman was Enderby’s nurse practitioner, a registered nurse with additional training who has the ability to diagnose, order and prescribe tests for patients. “We didn’t even know she was a practitioner, even after numerous visits and numerous prescriptions,” said Rowe. “It came to light
“It was nice to know she did consultations.” — Kelly Rowe
that she wasn’t a doctor but in every respect she was. As things progressed, it was nice to know she did consultations with the physicians so she knew she was going down the right road.” Interior Health health services administrator Nancy Serwo was joined by colleagues Kirstine Hill and Tanya Osborne in giving Armstrong council a 15-minute update on various IH programs, including nurse practitioners
(NPs). Serwo explained that IH currently has just under 30 NPs employed and is in the process of recruiting an additional seven. There is one NP based in Vernon and one based in Enderby, and another NP to support residential care sites in Armstrong, Enderby and Salmon Arm will begin “in a few weeks.” “We expect that will continue to grow with our relationship with the ministry of health,”
said Serwo of nurse practitioners. Coun. John Trainor believes NPs would be great in communities such as Armstrong and Enderby where they have a difficult time attracting doctors. “They would be great for the community because people could see them for the things they’re trying to get in to see the doctor for,” said Trainor. “Plus it would be cost effective.” Hill, IH’s community health services administrator, explained that the ministry of health has proposed communities partner with IH so new NP positions can be fulfilled. IH pays the wages and benefits while communities look after costs such as office

Winding along the majestic Kalamalka Lake, a safe and scenic path between Vernon and Lake Country could be on route. A proposed Kalamalka-Crystal Waters Trail proposal has been made to the Ministry of Transportation. “It will take the old highway down to Lake Country,” said Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick, whose council is supporting the plan. The original application for the trail has gained a favourable response from the ministry, said Bob Fleming, electoral Area B director. Now support from all area jurisdictions is being sought to aid the proposal. “Because the trail starts in Coldstream at the college, enters municipal streets at the College Way cul-de-sac, carries on Lakeview Drive, leaves

Fire protection units offered in Falkland Morning Star Staff
When a high or extreme fire danger rating is in place, Falkland residents are being advised of emergency actions being taken. The 17 fire departments in the ColumbiaShuswap Regional District now have access to equipment that can water down an entire neighbourhood as a preventative measure when a wildfire is threatening. “Two structural protection units, containing a configuration of sprinklers, hoses and other related equipment, can be easily positioned to create a wet line of protection for up to 35 homes at a time, depending on housing density and size of the lots,” said Kenn Mount, CSRD fire services coordinator. “We currently have 60 firefighters trained on these units and we continue to train additional firefighters for

our strike teams.” Falkland residents who have property bordering forest land can take the extra precaution of having their own sprinkler system to wet down their homes and buildings. “Sprinkler systems are simple, effective and safe tools to use in protecting structures from threatening forest fires,” said Cliff Doherty, Shuswap Emergency Program co-ordinator. “Not only does it dampen structures and trees which reduces the threat of ignition, it also helps cool buildings during exposure to radiant heat from the wildfire.”
There are other ways residents can decrease their risk during a wildfire which costs very little and reduces fire danger greatly. Some FireSmart tips include: • Create at least a 10-metre wide clearing around your house and buildings. • Trim the branches on all trees within your clearing to a height of three metres. • Clear a one-metre strip around each building down to bare mineral soil. • Keep your grass watered, cut and remove dead grass. • Ensure your home is easily accessible to emergency workers.

Thousands of guests in both provinces visited their local White Spot restaurant for the annual Pirate Pak Day fundraiser, helping Canada’s longest-running restaurant chain raise a record $65,916 to send kids and youth with special needs to Zajac Ranch for Children. “Pirate Pak Day has once again resulted in an incredible outpouring of generosity from White Spot guests,” says White Spot president Warren Erhart. “We are delighted to celebrate a recordbreaking donation. This year we sold 32,458 Pirate Paks to — Erhart both the young and young-at-heart, providing the opportunity for us to help even more kids enjoy life-changing experiences at Zajac Ranch.” White Spot donated $2 from each Kids and Adult Pirate Pak sold – plus contributions received in lieu of Pirate Paks – to Zajac Ranch, an established B.C. charity that gives children and young adults with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities an unforgettable camp experience. With the sixth annual Pirate Pak Day concluded, the initiative has raised a total of $268,386 and sent 160 kids to summer camp since the program began in 2008 – helping provide an unforgettable and empowering experience. “White Spot has demonstrated a true commitment to improving the lives of children and young adults with special needs by supporting Zajac Ranch,” said Mel Zajac, founder of the Zajac Ranch for Children. “We are so thankful to be partnered with White Spot for Pirate Pak Day; it’s the perfect way to celebrate childhood while supporting a bchonda.com worthy cause.

Extraordinary Powers
M
ore than 1,000 mourners showed up at the Red and White Club at McMahon Stadium to remember Calgary sportscaster Billy Powers July 18. Wish I could have been there. I feel blessed to have been touched by this gem of a man. Kind-hearted. Laugh-a-minute. One of a kind. Down-toearth. Couldn’t do enough for charity or anyone needing a break. “Billy would get asked to emcee a charity event and he’d say, ‘Sure, just give me a burger and a beer (Molson Canadian of course),’” said Jack Neumann, the longtime athletic director with the University of Calgary. Neumann, who can reel off at least half of Powers’ 500 jokes, stopped by the office two weeks ago to give me a copy of Billy’s celebration of life Kevin Mitchell leaflet. “It’s a sad one Kev,” said Neumann. “Billy remembered you and always asked me to say hi when I’m in Vernon (visiting friends and buying fruit).” Five hours on a golf cart with Powers at Predator Ridge in May (Mother’s Day) of 2003. It was like golfing with Jerry Seinfeld on Jolt Cola. The one-liners and zingers flew fast and they were usually directed at himself. Powers, the voice of the Calgary Stampeders for many years, thought I was a good sport and we became instant friends during the media weekend. He showed up with Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun and Don Blair, Mark McLoughlin and Tony Martino of the Stamps. At the Saturday dinner with about 20 of us, I figured the zany John McKeachie of BCTV or Vancouver radio guru Neil Macrae would carry the conversation. Neither man hardly said a word as Powers owned the table for a few priceless hours. “He was probably the only sportscaster who had a fridge
between the lines
under his desk,” said retired Stamps star Herm Harrison, with a laugh, at the service. Harrison spent two decades working alongside Powers at CKXL radio. “You think you had problems listening to his jokes all 18 holes on a golf course? Well … I had 18 years of that — I heard them all.” Those quotes were used in a column by Francis on Powers’ service. Powers e-mailed me two pages of jokes the following spring, adding: “Hey Mitch, it looks like we’re coming again this year...and I’m guessing Francis will come even though the bastard didn’t write one single line from last year.” Billy, 71, and his wife, Donna Lee Powers, 64, were slain at their Braeside S.W. home early on July 4. Derek Puffer, Donna Lee’s adopted step-son, has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder in the stabbing deaths.
“I used to go to a few games, but they put us so darn close I couldn’t see over the players. I’m not a big basketball fan. I’d rather watch two guys fish.” Jones recorded 1,580 points in 1,180 games, second only to Guyle Fielder’s 1,771 points in 1,368 WHL games. Art was inducted in the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame in 1984. He’s among a diverse group including Boston Red Sox legend Johnny Pesky, NFL hero Norm van Brocklin, Heisman Trophy winner Terry Baker, high jump innovator Dick Fosbury and basketball coach Slats Gill. Jones recently retired as the supervisor of pari mutuels at Portland Meadows horse race track. Billy Powers

Ferguson just missed ring

Had the pleasure of golfing with retired Portland Buckaroos hockey legend Art Jones out at Spallumcheen a few weeks back. Jones played for the Buckaroos during their entire existence (1960-75) in the pro WHL, leading Portland to three Lester Patrick Cups. He was the WHL’s leading scorer six times, and won the league’s MVP, twice (in 1967–68 and 1970–71). In 1970, he set the WHL scoring record for most points (127) in a season. Jones also played for the New Westminster Royals and Victoria Cougars of the WHL, and the Seattle Totems of the Central Hockey League. Art, his nephew, Murray Fairweather and Murray’s father, Charlie, rounded out the foursome with Murray showing us all up with a scorching 74 from the white tees. Jones can’t hear like he once did, but he’s sharp and quick with the one-liners. I asked him if the Buckaroos used to get free tickets to the NBA Trail Blazers games.
Lake, Alta. These gatherings are always good for Hot Stove Leagues with third and fourth cousins, and of course I cornered Lawrence Ferguson, 82, once I figured out what he looked like these days. Ferguson was wearing a worn-out Carolina Hurricanes hat and laughing about the Canes’ Stanley Cup run in 2006. His sons Sheldon, director of amateur scouting, and Ron, a scout, both of Red Deer, were working for the Canes then. “I retired from scouting the year before so I missed out on a ring,” said Ferguson, who owned the AJHL Red Deer Rustlers and drove the team bus in the late 1970s. We talked about the Rustlers’ solid team of 1976-77 with Darryl and Duane Sutter and Kelly Kisio, prompting Lawrence to fondly recall: “You know, we had all six Sutters play for us.” Lawrence spent more than five decades working for NHL Central Scouting Bureau.
much is in net. Smith, who joined Vernon from the WHL Swift Current Broncos last season, solidified his role as the No. 1. Todosychuk was reassigned to the KIJHL Golden Rockets for a stint, but was sharp once he was recalled midseason. “Their job is to push each other and make sure they are 100 per cent committed to it,” said Williamson. “We played Danny in some huge games last year. It’s their job to want the net and not give it up.” As opposed to previous seasons when the Viper captain was appointed, Williamson intends to let the leadership dynamic shake out in camp. He was pleased to see a group of veterans – led by Smith, Persley, Renz, Bryan, Dumonceaux and Sparrow – organize an offseason leadership retreat, with the goal of establishing team culture. “Championship teams are built off the ice and that was key,” said Williamson. “We’ve got a lot of leaders and a lot
of captains, and it’s important they gel right from he get-go.” Meanwhile, there are still spots available in the Vipers Tee Off for Kidsport charity golf tournament, Sunday, Aug. 25 at The Rise. Tickets for the Texas scramble tourney (1 p.m. shotgun start) are $160, which also includes admission to the Vipers’ B.C. Hockey League exhibition game versus the Salmon Arm SilverBacks on Saturday, Aug. 24 (7 p.m.). The golf also includes dinner, prizes, tee gift, silent auction and autograph session with guest celebrities. Net proceeds will be shared by Greater Vernon KidSport and the local Royal Bank Cup committee. Organizers are also in need of several hole sponsors. To register, or for sponsorship information, contact The Rise head pro Lee Ranger by phoning 250-545-7425, or e-mailing lee.ranger@therise.ca. Or call the Viper office at 250-5426022.

Local invites include blueliner Matt Halvorson, a Vernon Midget Tier 1 Viper who took a regular shift with the North Okanagan Knights during their run to the KIJHL playoff final, and goalie Harrison Whitlock, who played Major Midget with the Kootenay Ice. “I’m excited; it’s a very competitive camp,” said Williamson, who will be assisted by Kris Mallette and Dave Robinson. “That’s whole point of training camp – guys are competing for jobs. That’s hockey, that’s life, that’s junior.

Debbie Fisher tees off at a ladies tournament at the Vernon Golf & Country Club. Fisher recently won gold in the Over 50 Premier division at the World Masters Games in Torino, Italy.
Fisher golden in Italy Vernon’s Debbie Fisher has proven it’s never too late to hone your golf game. Fisher, a member of the Vernon Golf & Country Club, struck gold in the Over 50 Premier division (under-12 handicap) at the World Masters Games in Torino, Italy. Playing on the Robert Trent Jones-designed, par 72 Royal Park Course, Fisher carded rounds of 80-74-75 to claim overall low net. She was followed by an Aussie and Italian in second and third place. “It’s my biggest accomplishment so far,” said Fisher, who whittled her handicap down to a 10 by working with Vernon head pro Shannon Glenesk. “I worked hard this year to get my handicap down. I was playing better this year than I ever have.” Fisher, a local realtor with Re/ Max, travelled to Torino with fellow Vernon club members Nancy Kurbis and Dianne Nohr, who also competed in the Premier
division, and Anita Jewell, a Rec class entry. Regarding the Royal Park track, which will host the BMW Italian Open next month, she said: “Lots of water, lots of sand and just very challenging holes. The rough was brutal. If you could find your ball in it you were lucky.” Just as challenging as the course was the weather. Temperatures registered consistently in the high 30s (and above), and the humidity was stifling, said Fisher. In hindsight, she added it was wise that they arrived a few days early to get acclimatized. The Vernon foursome also stayed for a week after the Games for some sightseeing, which included Lake Como, Milan, as well as several mountainside villages, castles and churches. With 19,000 athletes from 107 nations, plus about another 30,000 coaches, spouses and team supporters in tow, Fisher wasn’t surprised that the Games

The Langley Thunder blew an early threegoal lead as they fell 10-6 to the host Victoria Shamrocks in Game 2 of the Western Lacrosse Association final Friday night at Bear Mountain Arena. Trailing 4-1 after one period, the Shamrocks replied with a four-goal second period to even the score 5-5 heading into the final frame. They outgunned Langley 5-1 in the final 20 minutes to even the best-of-seven series 1-1. Game 3 goes Wednesday night in Langley, with Game 4 set for Friday on Vancouver Island. Vernon netminder Brodie MacDonald had 38 saves for the Thunder, and was relieved by Nick Rose (seven saves) in the third frame. Scott Carnegie led the Shamrock attack with a deuce, singles came from Tyler Hass, Rhys Duch, Mitch Jones, Ben McCullough, Karsen Leung, Scott Ranger, Jeff Shattler and Cory Conway. Langley responded with singles by Alex Crepinsek, Garrett Billings, Scott Johnston, Adam Jones, Shayne Jackson and Dane Dobbie.

Spall fire ban policy sparked Camp fire regulations policy drafted, speed boards pursued in township roger knox Morning Star Staff
A camp fire regulations policy has officially been drafted in Spallumcheen. The policy is designed to help township administration. “Specifically, it provides direction as to when a camp fire ban is to be implemented within the township boundaries,” wrote deputy corporate officer Cindy Graves in a report to council. The policy will also establish an advertising budget to ensure the public is informed about camp fire bans. The bans will be implemented after confirmation from the Armstrong Spallumcheen fire chief or his designate that a fire ban is warranted, and after confirmation from the ministry of forests’ wildfire management branch that a ban has been imposed in the Kamloops Fire District. The township is in the Kamloops Fire District. Council unanimously approved the policy draft. Speed boards pursued The township is considering joining forces with
a pair of communities to purchase speed reader boards to help deal with speeding motorists. “I’ve had e-mails from other administrators and there is some interest in getting speed reader boards if we can agree on cost sharing and how to use it,” said Spallumcheen chief administrative officer Greg Betts. Lumby and Enderby have expressed interest in the boards which show motorists how fast they’re travelling. The township has had many complaints about speeders, especially along Otter Lake Cross Road. The City of Vernon RCMP Todd York Safe Communities Unit’s rural program manager has approached Spallumcheen council in the past with different types of boards or other technology aimed at reducing speeders. Council was shown four varieties that ranged in price from $3,000 to $12,000. “The boards are an effective tool, and it certainly proves we’re trying to do everything within our power on a number of these complaints,” said Coun. Todd York. Council unanimously agreed to have Betts pursue speed reader board costs and a potential sharing program with the other communities.

Coldstream Ranch to access the Keefer Gulch pasture for biosolid distribution. “The road will not safely allow two-way passage of tanker vehicles,” said Ronan, presenting an eight-signature petition to Coldstream council to limit traffic. Resident Peter Heidema adds: “There’s no doubt that increased heavy traffic will
quickly destroy the remaining integrity of the roadway surface.” Staff are investigating the roadway situation and will report back to council at the next meeting, Aug. 26. Options are expected into a mechanism to control traffic. “Obviously it’s not built for that kind of traffic,” said Coun. Gyula Kiss.

Some Lavington residents want to close down their road to the public. Warren Road residents want to limit traffic to residents only, saying the road was only designed to meet the needs of the four homes and is not suitable for commercial use due to safety concerns for pedestrians and vehicles. “The road is very narrow and already in need of major repair,” said Roxanne Ronan, representing residents of the No-Thru road north of Buchanan Road.

Celebrating a 60th wedding anniversary
Barbara Swift and Mark Phillips were married Aug. 15, 1953 at All Saints Anglican Church in Vernon, B.C. They started their married life teaching in Salmon Arm. Mark and Barb moved to the Kootenays for a short time before returning to Vernon in 1959. Mark and Barb have two children, Rick and Marilyn. The family now consists of Rick and his wife Gisele and their son Reid. Marilyn is married to Jeff Koroll and they have two children, Jessica and Kristofer. Barb also has a sister, Pat Dyck, who is married to Tony; they are the parents of Jeremie, Tyler and Melissa. Barb was born in Vernon. Mark was born in Regina and moved into the house next door to Barb in 1942. They became best friends immediately and the rest is history.
My late wife, Wendy, was not a foolhardy lady who liked blood sports of any kind. But in this case she showed definite kinds of all three traits. I heard the tale later when I returned home from my work as an engineer for Shell in Borneo. One afternoon Wendy was alerted by a commotion in the quarters of our amah (house servant), Winnie Ong. Winnie came rushing in a state of agitation shouting, “Ular, ular.” Ular is the Malay word for a snake and there were several kinds about even though they were seldom seen and never a danger. But Winnie said that the snake was under her bed and she wanted rid of it. So Wendy agreed to get it moved out, grabbed a small broom and went out in her bare feet (it was in the tropics and about 35 degrees C) to do it. Now Wendy’s reptile recognition had been limited at best to British snakes that were mainly non-venomous grass snakes and the rarely-seen venomous adder. The main point would have been “They are all small and if you leave them alone they will not bother you.” But this was at least 18 inches long. After some minutes of swiping at it with the broom to no effect, Wendy
decided that she had had enough of it, marched out of Winnie’s house and came back with a changkol (earth breaking tool rather like a big adze). It made short work of the ular and the commotion was over. Very shortly Margaret, an Australian friend, came by and Wendy told her the tale. When shown the decapitated snake Margaret was horrified. She called Wendy a silly woman and asked if Wendy knew what kind of snake it was. Wendy replied that she did not but it was not very big and seemed more of a nuisance than anything else. Margaret, who had lived in the tropics much longer, said that it was a krait and very venomous! I felt inclined to agree with Margaret but I felt that praise, tempered with caution, was more merited than blame for such an episode! I will add that we were told two other things about snakes: that if you ran over a snake on a road you should always run over it at least once more to make sure it was dead and had not become caught up underneath your car and was waiting there to strike when you put your foot down to exit the car; and not to reach up into a tree unless you were sure there was not a snake in residence. In spite of all that I never knew of anybody being bitten during the eight years that we lived there.

In the coming months, broaden your prospects by looking outside your current situation. A change will offer you a new lease on life as well as a chance to explore and expand your skills. Educational pursuits or apprenticeships will help you reach your full potential.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Don’t take on more than you can handle, either at home or with extracurricular groups. Participating is fine, but taking over isn’t. Try to maintain harmony in all your spheres.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A mental or physical journey will help you choose a direction better suited to your talents and happiness. Don’t let anyone make you feel guilty for wanting to fulfill your dreams.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Take a look inward and determine if there is something in your life that needs changing. Take action based on your emotions, with increased harmony as a goal.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Spend some time with people who share your concerns. Taking part in an event that allows you to help a cause you believe in will result in an unusual opportunity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Don’t worry so much about what others think. You have your own style, ideas and opinions, and you deserve to be heard. Be your own person, and others will follow your example. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Don’t set limitations on what you can accomplish. Be creative and innovative and strive to bring a unique approach to all your endeavors. Change your living habits or arrangements to fit your needs. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Search out information that will help you reach a new goal or allow you to join forces with someone looking to venture down a similar path. Remember, you’re not alone. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Set your sights on things that will help you get along better with the people you care about most. Nurture important relationships and share your emotions and desires, while listening carefully to the needs of others.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Listen carefully and be precise about what you want and what you are willing to offer. Romantic activities or plans will bring you closer to someone special. You’re in a cycle where personal change is indicated. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Get serious about a creative endeavor that you want to get up and running. You stand to prosper if you stay within your means and produce a useful service or product.
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.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Do your best to reduce the amount of stress in your life. Talk over your plans with someone who could aid you in your pursuits.

It’s taken months, with a few delays, but work on the Colony Street upgrade in Armstrong is nearly over. The major 2013 capital project has had the curbs put in, and now sidewalks and paving are to follow. “Final completion is anticipated within the next two weeks,” said city public works manager Tim Perepolkin. The original target date for completion was July 31, but the project had to be extended due to unforeseen delays with FortisBC and because of heavy rains for 10 or 11 days during the project.

Council unanimously approved the request. Agreements renewed Two local groups whose lease and fee service agreements expired some time ago have had their deals renewed with the city. The Okanagan Boys and Girls Club leases land from the city for their community programs. The city does not charge rent or levy property taxes for the use. The latest three-year deal expired in 2011, and the club asked to renew the three-year deal with no changes. Council agreed, as they did to a request from the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce to renew its Visitor Info-Centre fee for service agreement. The current deal expired at the end of 2009 with the city continuing to pay the annual fee plus inflation. A new agreement is now in place that runs from Jan. 1, 2013 to Dec. 31, 2015. The city will pay $14,400 in 2013, and pay the annual fee plus inflation in 2014 and 2015. Chief financial officer Terry Martens said both agreements had simply been overlooked when it came time for renewals.

There’s more to zucchini than breads and muffins: try topping with sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese (left), stuffing with crab, or hollow them out and fill with a meat, tomato and cheese mixture.
Transforming the humble zucchini Cathi Litzenberger Morning Star Columnist
For all you home gardeners out there who decided to grow zucchini this year and are now over run with the things, I have a couple of suggestions. After dark, sneak around your neighbourhood and leave them on your neighbours’ doorsteps, like a silent giver. If they’re anything like me, they will be greatly appreciated. My second idea is to make this week’s recipes all about the lowly zucchini. The zucchini is probably one of the most prolific and versatile summer squashes grown in our area. It can be stuffed and baked, stir-fried into countless recipes, sliced and baked into pizzas, casseroles and any dish imaginable. Zucchini can be made into crispy fries, cakes, breads, cookies, cobblers, crisps and so much more. It is also low in calories and fat. Take advantage of zucchini’s vibrant green colour, and work it into bite-size appetizers like today’s recipe for crunchy rounds, topped off with sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese; they’ll look amazing, and each mouthful of this savoury starter promises a ton of flavour for very few calories (86 for three zucchini rounds). The tomato zucchini bake is a super-quick-and-easy side or main dish that puts leftover summer veggies to great use. If you’d like something more substantial, try the stuffed zucchini cups, and for all seafood lovers I offer delicious crab zucchini boats to enjoy. CrunChy ZuCChini rounds With sun-dried tomatoes & Goat Cheese 2 zucchini 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 ounces sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil (about 24) 3 ounces goat cheese 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Slice zucchini into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. (You should have about 24 slices.) Lay out on large platter; season with salt and pepper. Place a sun-dried tomato on each slice, then top each tomato with a pinch of goat cheese. Sprinkle tops with chopped chives, and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil; serve. tomato-ZuCChini Bake Cooking spray 1 pound sliced zucchini 1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels 1- 1/4 lbs. sliced vine-ripened tomatoes 1/2 cup panko crumbs 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 2-quart shallow baking dish with cooking spray, and alternately layer sliced zucchini, corn kernels, and sliced tomatoes. Combine panko and Parmesan, and sprinkle on top. Bake, uncovered, in the centre of oven 30 minutes or until top is golden brown. Cover with foil, and bake for 10 minutes more or until vegetables are tender. Serve immediately. meat, tomato and moZZarellastuffed ZuCChini Cups 2 large zucchini or yellow squash, about 12 inches long 2 tsp. + 2 tsp. olive oil (may need more, depending on your pan) 1/2 cup finely chopped onion 1 green pepper, finely chopped 2 tbsp. finely minced fresh garlic 1 lb. ground beef 12 oz. ground turkey (use any combination of ground meat you’d like, but use lowfat ground meat and cheese for the South Beach Diet) 1-2 tsp. Spike seasoning (optional but recommended) 2 cups flavourful tomato-basil pasta sauce 2 cups low-fat mozzarella or other mild white cheese Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Chop onion and green pepper. Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a non-stick pan, then sauté onion and pepper for 3-4 minutes, until just starting to soften. Add minced garlic and sauté about 1 minute more, being careful not to brown the garlic. Remove the onion, pepper, and garlic mixture to a bowl. Add 2 tsp. more olive oil to the pan. Crumble in the ground beef and ground turkey, season with Spike seasoning, and cook over medium heat until the meat is wellbrowned. Tilt pan to see if there is any extra fat, and remove with a spoon if there is, then stir cooked vegetables and garlic back into the meat. Add tomato sauce and simmer until the mixture has thickened and liquid has cooked off, about 10 minutes; then turn off heat. While meat cools, cut zucchini into 2 inch thick slices, discarding ends. Use a sharp spoon or melon baller to hollow out a cup in each zucchini slice, leaving just over 1/4 inch of zucchini flesh. Be careful not to get too close to the skin or the cups will leak liquid when they cook. Spray baking sheet with nonstick spray and stand up zucchini cups, open end up. Stir 1 1/2 cups grated cheese into the cooled meat mixture (it doesn’t need to be completely cool), then spoon the meat-cheese mixture into zucchini cups, pressing down with the spoon and mounding it up a little over the top of the zucchini. Bake zucchini cups for 20 minutes, then remove from oven and use remaining cheese to top each one with a generous pinch of cheese. Put back in oven and bake 10-15 minutes more, until zucchini is slightly soft when pierced with a fork, and cheese is melted and lightly browned. Serve hot. amaZinG CraB-stuffed ZuCChini 4 zucchini, ends trimmed 1 tablespoon butter 1/2 onion, finely chopped 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped 1 pound crab meat 1 teaspoon ground paprika Salt and ground black pepper to taste 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs 1/4 cup mayonnaise, or as needed 1/4 cup dry white wine 3 tablespoons butter, melted 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice the zucchini in half the long way, and scoop out the seeds and flesh, leaving a 1/2-inch thick shell all around. Discard flesh, or save for another use. Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil, and immerse the zucchini boats in the boiling water for 2 minutes. Remove from the water, drain, and place into a 9x12-inch baking dish. With a paper towel, blot away any excess water from the inside of the zucchini. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the onion, garlic, and green pepper until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Gently stir in the crab meat, and cook about 5 more minutes, until the crabmeat is hot. Keep the crabmeat in lump pieces as much as possible. Season the crab mixture with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Place the crab mixture into a mixing bowl, and lightly stir in bread crumbs, mayonnaise, and white wine. Add a bit more mayonnaise to help the mixture hold together, if needed. Spoon the filling into the prepared zucchini shells, and brush each zucchini with about 3/4 tablespoon of melted butter. Top each stuffed zucchini with 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese melts and the filling is hot, about 15 minutes. Enjoy with tossed salad.

Siblings make life sweet
have been visiting with my siblings recently and reflecting on those relationships and how important they are and have been in my life. I am one of six and have one sister and four brothers and I am in the middle and oldest girl. I am sure there is lots of rich psychological information in that arrangement. Two of my brothMichele Blais ers came to visit this summer and both are very different yet similar. We also visited with our sister in Victoria. We were six born in 10 years so are close in age and shared friends, clothes, toys, rooms, classrooms, apartments, workplaces and more over the years. My one brother who visited likes to do projects and I like to offer him this opportunity. Who am I to deny him this pleasure when so easily at the cottage we can have him entertained and we benefit as well. With my darling retired now it also meant he was busy with projects. I don’t want him bored in his newfound freedom from work. I am extremely grateful for their hard work. My other brother is a reader, and he likes to cook so he too was a great guest whose company we enjoyed as well. I have shared a close friendship with him and we named our youngest son after him. This is a great gift to both parties. Our friendship really took off in high school when he took me under his wing and showed
The Way I see IT
me the ropes; he did this again in university when we shared an apartment. It was a great arrangement as we learned each other’s routines and temperaments and didn’t speak to each other in the mornings until we were walking out the door. I have a great deal of admiration for his sharp mind, sense of humour and amazing capacity for kindness and calling it like it is. I have been observing a lot of brother relationships: my darling with his older brother as he also visited, my neighbours, my sons, my friends. Interesting the competition and the camaraderie. The teasing of which position — older or younger — is best, who is the parental favourite, and greatest of all. One of the benefits of siblings is the capacity for friendship in addition to that special bond you share as siblings. I love all my siblings and some are closer in friendship than others, due to age and interests. I see this in many families where two siblings are great friends and companions and others at the other extreme together because they are related. When we became parents we wanted two children, originally I had wanted four, but I became a mom at 33, had the second at 35 and was a widow at 36. I was glad to have had two children because it gives the children someone to talk with who shares the experience of living in the same household, and can understand the greatness and the challenges of that. The boys needed each other when I bugged them, also they looked out for each other. The old-
est took on a fatherly role with his younger brother, much to the younger’s dismay; however it worked, they survived and thrived and are good friends. I love watching them together as adults as they play together, compete like nobody’s business, chat and laugh, and are present for each other. Competition and siblings seems to go hand in hand. It started early with me as a kid in watching my brothers playing sports, climbing trees, or hay wagons or getting good grades. I was going to do the same. My own two would compete with sports and in other areas as well. We learn a great deal in the family home about how to be as a person out in the world. We learn about sharing, communicating, competing, losing and winning, commitment, relationships, friendship, love and anger, loyalty, the power of love, and so much more. Cousins and close friends can fill that role for children on their own. Close friends often refer to each other as brothers or sisters. And brothers and sisters become aunts and uncles and those relationships can be very close and loving and fill special roles in the lives of the children and the adults. My office walls are full of photos of my childhood and photos of me with my siblings in various poses, and of the lads on their own and in a brotherly embrace. These photos fill my heart and remind me of how fortunate I am to have my siblings, after decades together still my dear friends, and my sons. The way I see it life is sweet.

Festival celebrates wild salmon Morning Star Staff
Organizers of the fourth Annual Wild Salmon Festival are hoping to get the whole community involved. Taking place Sept. 6 and 7 in Lumby’s Community Park, the festival is designed to create positive awareness about local wild salmon. “We encourage the entire community to participate in a number of ways: businesses can decorate their windows or offer a special salmon-related product or service,” said festival producer Randy Rauck. “We’re asking the local food and art vendors who will be at the festival to create a salmon special or design to tie into the theme. “We will continue with our popular education sessions about the salmon, and are planning a group walk of the Salmon Trail, as part of our festivities. Wild salmon have a history in our valley and this festival aims to raise awareness about enhancing their future and returning them to our streams and rivers for spawning above the dam.” Historically, these spawning grounds were an important spiritual and cultural site. Okanagan Nation Grand Chief Philip has said: “We want to see the salmon and the habitats restored so we can enjoy a healthy fishery once again.” Rauck added that the community can get involved in the festival in a number of ways.
“From buying a ticket and attending, to volunteering, or making a donation, it all helps organizers to be able to keep this festival in Lumby,” he said. The musical line-up features many acts including HIGH VOLTAGE (a tribute AC DC show), The Young’uns, the band formerly known as Crossfire, Wheelhouse, Gallon’s Corner, The Handles, The Mabel Lickers, Expression Collective, Chicks 3 and The Zipper Adrenalin Rush, Floyd Vedan Band, Original Shakedown and others. Festival organizers appreciate the support of White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture, The Village of Lumby, The Monashee Arts Council, and all of the sponsors and volunteers for their donations of funding, supplies, time and expertise. Proceeds from the Festival are donated to the Middle Shuswap Wild Salmon Society. Memberships in the society will be available for purchase during the festival. Advance tickets are available at the Monashee Arts Council office or online at www.wildsalmonfest.com for $10 a day pass until Aug. 31. After that, tickets are $20 per day at the gate. For more information or to get involved as a volunteer, vendor or sponsor, call Rauck at 250-307-7553 or e-mail randy@ vivapromotions.ca

School provides rich setting
new school year will soon begin and many people, young and old alike, will hit the books. But not all school books are tomes as dry as dust. The school setting is a rich vein that many accomplished writers mine to produce a remarkable number of both fiction and non-fiction works. The Flight of Gemma Hardy (2012) by Margaret Livesay is a captivating, original work that successfully reconstructs the classic Jane Eyre — no small feat by any means. A kindly uncle takes Gemma in after her parents die. But when her uncle dies, her aunt turns her into a scullery maid and strives to break her down. But Gemma works hard in school, earns a scholarship and eventually takes a position in the Orkneys, where she lives at the estate of the mysterious Sinclair and looks after his wild niece, Nell. The character of Gemma, like Jane, is both proud, principled

and learns to expect the best of herself and to forgive the transgressions of others. But she is thoroughly modern and the story captures and sustains your attention to the final page. Too Close to Home (2008), a thriller by Linwood Barclay, addresses how well we really know the people in our lives. The Langley family is murdered on a sultry summer night and the novel’s protagonist Jim Cutter, their neighbor, is drawn into the investigation when his son is mistakenly arrested for the crime. It is a terrific read full of false trails and shady characters and offers an entertaining glimpse into small town life and the connections among people, both good and bad.
For nonfiction aficionados Fortunate Sons (2011) is a gripping tale of 120 Chinese boys sent to America in 1872 to learn about a progressive and modern country. The boys attended the best schools in New England, meticulously described by authors Liel Leibovitz and Matthew Miller. Fragments from diaries and correspondence reveal encounters the boys enjoyed with President Ulysses Grant and life in the same New England community as Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe. The boys eventually thrived, after China’s initial reluctance to accept the confident Americanized citizens. Their education, ambition and the bond they created during the cultural exchange propels them into high-profile government positions in China where they played an integral role in revolutionizing industry and international relations. Without Mercy (2010) by best-selling
author Lisa Jackson, is a cool thriller of mystery and dark romantic suspense that builds to a breath-taking ending. The protagonist, Jules Farentino, gets a job at an exclusive academy to help her 17-year-old sister Shaylee, sent to the school by court order. Jules runs into ex-lover Cooper Trent, hired to find a student who disappeared six months ago, and together they investigate the disappearance and a shocking crime spree that soon rocks the school, including the scary “suicide” strangulation of Shay’s roommate and the murder of her teaching assistant boyfriend. The School of Night (2010), a wonderfully crafted historical thriller by Louis Bayard, smoothly shifts between present-day America and Elizabethan England. The author introduces us to the world of 16th-century scientist Thomas Harriot, Sir Walter Raleigh and a cadre of intellectuals called

the School of Night. Henry Cavendish, a modern-day disgraced Elizabethan scholar, is ensnared in a legal and emotional wrangle after the apparent suicide of his friend Alonzo Wax, an accomplished and well-known bibliophile. It appears Wax possessed a treasure map drafted by Harriot, and through flashbacks we discover a wealth of knowledge about Elizabethan England and a surprising side to Cavendish. He has failed in academia and romance yet he eventually conquers both arenas, an unlikely action hero to say the least. These books, and many others that share similar themes and settings, are available at your Okanagan Regional Library; see www.orl.bc.ca

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist TOM NOLAN
The dangers of excess alcohol consumption are very evident in Russia where 20-year-old men have only a 63% chance of reaching the age of 60. Russians consume about 18 litres of pure alcohol per year. That’s twice the Canadian average. The alcohol of choice is vodka. A loss of a sense of taste is really a loss of sense of smell. Taste buds on your tongue help to distinguish sweet, bitter, acidic and salty foods. However, it is the odours of the foods wafting up the nose from the outside and from the inside via the mouth that enhances food taste. Causes of sense of smell can be temporary (colds, flu, hay fever), fixable (nasal polyps) or due to more serious illnesses. See your doctor if you are concerned. Sixty years ago the publication Nature published the structure of DNA. It took 50 years for scientists to completely decode DNA through the international Human Genome Project creating a totally new science, genomics. Many compare this discovery with Industrial Revolution in the 18th Century and how it changed the world. Genomics may also change the world with cures for many diseases. There is an effective vaccine available to prevent shingles. If you know someone who has had shingles, you know how painful it can be. The vaccine is recommended for people over 60 who have had chickenpox. Talk to your doctor. We welcome your questions about vaccines to help you make smart decisions.

Do Everything (From the Man who should know).” Beginning Sept. 15, the “How To Do Everything Tour” will go from coast to coast in Canada, before heading south of the 49th in the spring of 2014. Red Green (aka Steve Smith) plays the Vernon & District Performing Arts Centre Sept. 23. The tour follows his successful run in 2011 and 2012 in Canada and the U.S., where he played to sold-out houses and rave reviews. This fall will also see the release of Red Green’s Beginner’s Guide To Women (For Men Who Don’t Read Instructions). Steve Smith is a Canadian actor, author and comedian. Born in Toronto, Smith studied engineering at the University of Waterloo and after a variety of jobs, in 1979 he began to produce, write and star in a sketch comedy series along with his wife Morag, called Smith and Smith. In the mid-’80s, he created a family sitcom called Me and Max, before returning to sketch comedy with The Comedy Mill, which ran for four years. Smith also wrote for several television shows including three episodes of CBS’ Top Cops series. In 1991 Smith starred in The New Red Green Show; 300 episodes of the series were produced as well as one full-length movie, Duct Tape Forever, in 2002. Smith writes a syndicated newspaper column as Red Green and currently hosts a show on space called Steve Smith Playhouse. He is a Member of the Order of Canada, has received an honorary doctor of letters from McMaster University and is the author of three books, Red Green’s How To Do Everything, We’re All In This Together, and Duct Tape Is Not Enough. Red Green is at the Vernon & District Performing Arts Centre Sept. 23 at 7 p.m. For tickets, call the Ticket Seller box office at 250549-SHOW (7469) or online at ticketseller.ca

Hydroboard soars onto market Graeme Corbett Business Editor
Most people who see a Hydroboard for the first time need to do a double-take. They stare in awe as they watch a rider hover high above the water like a super hero, jets of water thrusting down to the surface to keep him aloft. As Otto Richter says: “There is nothing like it. The feeling is different than any other sport out there.” Richter, the owner of the North Okanagan company called Hydroboard, is ready to revolutionize the water sport industry with his creation. He originally intended to be a distributor for a French company that began production of a similar board a year ago, but didn’t commit to it as he felt the design quality was substandard, and potentially unsafe. Instead, Richter and his son Brandon developed their own board from scratch, improving both build quality and safety. “We’ve made it bullet proof,” said Richter, who also owns Pristine Cleaning Services in Vernon. A Hydroboard is slightly bigger than a skateboard, but has wakeboard bindings attached to the deck. The deck is mounted on a polyurethane frame that houses two outlet pipes that provide the thrust. In total, the unit weighs about 35 pounds. The board is connected by a coupler to four-inch fire hose (approximately 60 feet) which attaches to manifold at the back of a jetski. The propulsion from the jetski is harnessed, via the hose, to power the Hydroboard. “All the jetski is is a sitting pump,” said Richter. Richter said Hydroboard has developed coupling devices that will attach to the majority of jetskis on the market – Kawasaki, Yamaha or Sea-Doo (Bombardier). To adequately support a rider, he said jetskis need to be a minimum 155 horse-power, basically any four-stroke, 2002 or newer. All that is required to use a Hydroboard is a little balance. “It’s very easy to learn,” said Richter, who does board rentals at Kin Beach, Kona Rentals in Oyama and Newport Beach on Westside Road. “It’s lot easier than it looks. A lot of people are intimidated when they first see it. I can teach almost anybody to do it in five to 10 minutes.” Richter said he has already had both a 380-pound man and a 73-year-old grandmother successfully pilot a board. He noted riders have to be a minimum of 100 pounds

brandon richter draws the attention of surrounding boaters as he gets some serious airtime while piloting a Hydroboard on Kalamalka Lake.
“The feeling is different than any other sport out there.” — Otto Richter and 18 years old. “You have to have enough weight and ability to move the board a little bit,” he said. As well as marketing Hydroboards to potential rental outlets such as cruise ships and beach holiday destinations, Richter also plans to retail them. Units will start at $4,999, which includes the board, bindings, hose, manifold and coupling plate for the intended jetski model. That might seem steep to some, but
Richter said the original concept for a device that would allow a rider to hover above water was a jet pack-style design that retailed for $120,000. He added there is a wait list to get one. Richter believes Hydroboard, which is manufactured in Armstrong, could rejuvenate a sinking personal water craft market. He said there were 60,000 sold in North America last year, which is way down from the 400,000 that were sold annually pre2005. “It’s a product that’s going to revolutionize the whole industry,” said Richter. “Personal water craft have been on a downhill for sales for probably the last 10 years.” When the Richters began researching and developing Hydroboard four months ago, they had concerns over how it would be
received by the various regulatory bodies. So far, that hasn’t been an issue. Compared with other water sports such as wakeboarding and skiing, where vessels are travelling at high speeds, Hydroboarding is quite safe because it is a relatively stationary activity. The greatest potential danger is falling on water from a height, which is something that can be controlled by the person operating the jetski’s throttle. Additionally, the hose acts as a sort of leash, keeping the rider both near the vessel, and from going too high. “It’s a low-speed sport because the jetski is literally going one or two miles an hour,” said Richter, adding helmets and life jackets (or impact jackets) increase safety. “The biggest safety is the operator. We do recommend everybody take a safety course.”

Carlos Medina has been serving up food from his native Mexico since he was 12. Even before he began working in restaurants in Mexico City, he was in the kitchen learning the culinary traditions from his mother. Having moved to Vernon (via Trail) a year ago, Medina and Colombian wife Lorena Correa are bringing that authentic Hispanic flavour to Azteca Mexican Restaurant. They also operate a grocery store called Mi Tierra Mexican Products. “We decided to leave Mexico and have a better life somewhere else,” said Medina, regarding his move to Canada. “We looked at the area first and went ‘Wow, this is beautiful.’” Making everything on the menu fresh from scratch, Medina said the
D
food at Azteca is “authentic, with a little spice and flavour. We are very flexible – we can do not spicy, medium spicy, or for the people who like it hot, we can do super spicy. “People sometimes get confused with Tex-Mex and the authentic. We can show them the authentic way to cook.” Some of the traditional dishes on offer include pollo con mole (chicken in a savoury chocolate sauce) and chile relleno (stuffed, roasted, fresh pepper). Through Mi Tierra, home cooks have an opportunity to create their own Mexican dishes using staple ingredients such as dried peppers, corn tortillas, masa (corn flour) and mole. Medina is in the process of transferring Mi Tierra from its location on 30th Ave. to the restaurant on Highway 6 (beside Tim Hortons).
Thompson Okanagan Tourism received the Silver Award from the Planning Institute of B.C. (PICB) for excellence in policy planning (small town and rural areas) for the region’s recently launched 10-year strategy: Embracing Our Potential. The award category honours the development and application of leading-edge planning policy designed to enhance the social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being of communities. The award was received by Glenn Mandziuk, CEO of TOTA, and Jennifer Houiellebecq, industry development specialist at the Infuse Vancouver awards reception last month. This year, PIBC cohosted the national planning conference with the Canadian Institute of Planners. “Receiving this accolade is a real accomplishment and honour for the regional tourism industry – this award was the only award to be directed to tourism and we are proud of the recognition that has been given to the strategy as a framework for tourism and economic growth in our region,” said Mandziuk.
Canada building solid reputation Morning Star Staff
For the third year in a row, Canada has been ranked No. 1 as the country with the best overall reputation in the world. The ranking, derived from the Reputation Institute’s annual Country RepTrak report, saw Canada keep top spot ahead of Sweden and Switzerland. The institute, a global private consulting firm based in New York and Copenhagen, evaluates the reputations of 50 countries based on online interviews with 27,000 people from G8 countries. The report measures the trust, esteem, admiration and good feelings the public holds towards these countries, as well as perceptions of peoples’ quality of life, safety and attention to the environment.
Saving up for school
o you have children that you would like to help through college or university? A Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) is a fantastic, easy way to start saving, and the government even kicks in an additional 20 per cent to help little Johnny get that Kathi Bridge post-secondary education. Anyone can open an RESP account for a child – parents, grandparents, guardians, relatives or friends. RESPs are a way to help you save for your child’s post-secondary education. Like with any savings program, the sooner you start saving (i.e. when the child is born), the better off you will be because of compounding interest. It also grows taxdeferred until it is withdrawn. Because the student withdraws it, it is taxed based on their income, which is usually quite low.
Guest Column
The grant paid by the government is called the Canadian Education Savings Grant (CESG), with a maximum pay out of $7,200 per child of free money. This is based on the grant equaling 20 per cent of what you invest (up to a maximum of $50,000 for each child). There are also additional programs to help such as the Canadian Learning Bond of $500 from the Government of Canada. The B.C. Liberals also have a families first program outlined in the election platform, where they will invest $1,200 into the RESP accounts when the child turns six (born on or after Jan. 1, 2007). You may apply for the grant between the child’s sixth and seventh birthday. So what do you need to start an RESP for your children? First they each need to have a Social Insurance Number (SIN). You can apply for the child’s SIN at any Service Canada Centre (Vernon’s is located at 3202-31 St.) You will need their birth certificate to apply. To open an RESP (individual or family account), go to your bank or financial
planner and they can assist you. Ask your provider about the various grants available to take advantage of what you are eligible for. You can have money added every month from your own bank account. You can start with any amount. Even a $25 to $50 contribution per month when the child is born will add up to significant amount when they turn 17 or 18. This is very do-able for most families. Getting started is the biggest challenge for most people. There are many websites with lots of information about RESPs if you have more questions. Of course your bank officer or financial planner can also give you any information you may need to get started. Free money is a stake so if you haven’t already, set up an RESP for your children. They will thank you for helping make post-secondary education possible. Kathi Bridge is a money coach and educator with Money Coaches Canada. This article is provided for information purposes only.

Inviting beach chairs await visitors at Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort. The beach is a great way to soak up the sun and relax.
Explore the real Bahamas donna yuen Special To The Morning Star
BAHAMAS - What comes to mind when you think of the Bahamas? Luxurious resorts? Stunning white beaches? Tropical drinks dressed with cute little umbrellas? Me too. Not sure about you, but I’m long overdue for this kind of pampering. And in embracing the philosophy that self-care rejuvenates the soul, I’m in search of the perfect place that will replenish mine! “Welcome to the real Bahamas.” A number of locals greet me this way, but I’m really not sure what they mean. I’ve just come from the country’s capital, Nassau, and the adjacent Paradise Island. And if these two hot spots aren’t truly Bahamian, then what is? Long Island, located in Bahamas Southern Out Islands, is as peaceful and secluded an oasis as you’ll ever find. And here, overlooking one of the world’s top ten beaches, is Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort–my sanctuary for the next all too few days. Immediately after checking-in (and before unpacking) I make a beeline for this sandy playground — a stretch of silky champagne powder, that’s trimmed by aquamarine surf. I wade, ankle deep, into the tepid waters. The warm breeze is like a

caress and the sunshine soothes me blissfully to the core. Rumor has it that this four-mile long shoreline is still undiscovered. So, is this the meaning of the real Bahamas, I wonder? Still unsure, I ask around. “If you don’t know by the time you leave, I’ll fill you in,” says a resort worker, in response to my question. She flashes me an impish, all-knowing grin before resuming her duties. My ocean-side bungalow, just steps away from the tide-line, is decked out with all the comforts of home: a hair dryer that I forgot to pack, a fridge for chilling my favourite bevies, and a coffee maker that rounds off my breakfast to perfection. From my private veranda I’m privy to
photo-perfect sunsets and the sweet scent of bougainvilleas. And each night, while swathed like a babe in my sleeping quarters, I’m lulled to sleep by the sound of lapping waves. Daytime activity options are equally stress-free. Although I could explore the island on bike, hike through lush terrain, and even get culturally grounded when checking out the monument that pays tribute to Christopher Columbus, the beach keeps calling my name. Some visitors choose to skim the Atlantic’s surface on kayaks, catamarans and boogie boards and others are lured to the many treasures that thrive far beneath–diving into Dean’s Blue Hole, the deepest sinkhole on earth, that plunges 200 meters to the ocean floor. As for me, I’m quite content to swim languidly after rays (not the stinging kind), beach comb for samples of stunning sea glass and saunter the endless stretches of sand —topped off, on most afternoons by sipping a fruity Bahama Mama. Sound like Eden? I’m pretty convinced it is! I conclude my week of luxury with a special seven-course dinner, a traditional Bahamian selection served at the resort clubhouse: coconut shrimp doused in
an orange marmalade marinade, smooth and sinfully rich lobster bisque, pan-fried grouper, all complimented by coconut curry and a grilled lobster dressed with salsa–truly a Bahamian feast! With a newlyacquired “Buddha belly,” I retire to my private balcony for one last gaze at the stars. They light up the heavens, casting a magical spell over this place I’ve now deemed to be an enchanted retreat. The Bahamas is everything I dreamed
it would be, but Long Island is even more so. It’s a destination that boasts 80 miles of scenic shoreline, a place where island people greet newcomers like long lost relatives. A commercial free, slower-paced haven for people who are in search of a perfect refuge. Recreation, renewal and relaxation – add “real” to the mix and you have it: the real Bahamas. Now, no longer a secret to me. Donna Yuen is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

The
Bridge by Phillip Alder READ THE LEAD TO HELP DEFEND Michel de Montaigne, a 16th-century French essayist, said, “My trade and art is to live.” A bridge player should live with the “trade” acronym in his mind, whether as declarer or a defender. The second letter stands for read the lead. Third hand should use the information being supplied by the opening lead to guide his defense -- as in this example deal. South is in four spades. West leads the heart two. What should East do after declarer calls for dummy’s three? Note that South’s jump to four spades almost guarantees at least a fivecard suit. Since North can
raise to two spades with only three-card support when he has a singleton somewhere, if South has only four spades and sufficient strength at least to try for game, he should rebid in no-trump or another suit. If North has four spades, he will commit to that suit. (Well, if he is exactly 4-3-3-3 with four weak spades, he might pass out three no-trump.) There seem to be two ways to try to gain four defensive tricks: one heart and three clubs, hoping declarer has king-third of clubs and West ace-third; or three hearts and one blacksuit trick. First, though, what was West’s lead? His lowest heart, and when a defender leads an unbid suit (at any trick), low
from length guarantees at least one honor in that suit. And given the board, what honor must West hold? Right -- the king. So East should play his jack, expecting to win the trick, cash his heart ace, and play a third heart. Later, West’s spade ace will defeat the contract.
