Deaths prompt demands for action RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

There are calls for the justice system, and Canadian society as a whole, to take action over missing and murdered aboriginal women. About 30 people gathered on the Vernon Courthouse steps Tuesday, waving signs, chanting and drumming. “The system is failing. What the RCMP are doing is failing. We’re stuck,” said Mollie Bono, a rally organizer and community advocate. “All we want to do is bring attention. We hope people will write letters and ask officials what they are doing about it.” About 1,200 aboriginal women have gone missing or been murdered in the last 30 years. “The reality is the women aren’t valued and if they are prostitutes, they are valued less. People don’t know their stories,” said Bono. The impetus for the rally was a conversation Bono had with Barbara Levesque, with the John Howard Society, Monday about the death of Cindy Gladue in Edmonton in 2011. The accused was recently found not guilty. “We were both outraged about the injustice of the aquittal,” said Bono, adding that she and Levesque decided they had to speak out publicly. Levesque had recently been speaking to a woman who knew Gladue. “She said, ‘There’s nothing we can do as aboriginal women.’ I went and Googled Cindy Gladue’s name and I was appalled,” said Levesque. “Juries can be wrong and cases can be misinformed. Canadians should take time to

Bernice Jensen and her daughters Timara, 11, and Jewel, 13, sing and drum during a rally on the Vernon Courthouse steps Tuesday concerning the plight of aboriginal women in the country. See a video at vernonmorningstar.com Google Cindy’s name.” Bono urges North Okanagan residents to take an interest in what happens to First Nations women. “This could be anyone’s mother. This could happen anywhere as long as we allow,” she said.

While there have been calls for the federal government to launch an inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women, Levesque believes a far more meaningful process is required. “We as non-aboriginals need to question our assumptions about the lives of aborigi-

nal people,” she said. And Bono insists the only way strides can be taken to ensure public safety is for it to become a priority among all Canadians no matter their origin. “What’s critical is we stand together,” she said.

Vernon council wants firm proof of support for market RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A Vernon event is set for another season, but some officials aren’t sure it should return. Instead of approving the Avenue Market for four blocks on 30th Avenue Monday, council instead called for merchants in that area to be surveyed for support before a final decision is made. “There have been three or four businesses who are not in favour and have suffered financially from the market,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. “There is competition from the businesses (market vendors) who come in and don’t pay business improvement area taxes.”

Lord added that while the market stalls are being set up and the event runs, parking for the permanent businesses disappears. Once the survey is done, Lord says 60 per cent support among merchants should be required. “I want to make sure the majority (of merchants) are in favour.” However, the market has its advocates. “I don’t see it has direct competition. The market attracts people who wouldn’t be there otherwise,” said Coun. Scott LEASE Anderson of the opportunities the event can create *for merFOR chants downtown. Coun.

Lara Konkin, DVA executive director, says businesses have already been contacted about the market coming back for a second year. “Based on survey numbers, it’s still well in excess of 90 per cent (in favour) in those four blocks,” she said. “It’s disappointing that council, for the second year running, would question the success of the market.”

Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP officers are concerned about the number of drinking drivers they’ve encountered recently, highlighted by a serious incident in Lumby. On March 17, just before 8 p.m., officers from North Okanagan Traffic Services were in an unmarked police vehicle in the area of Highway 6 and Shuswap Avenue when they noticed an eastbound mini-van fail to stop for the stop sign. “The vehicle then travelled at a high rate of speed northbound on Shuswap Avenue coming to

The officers called the ministry of children and family development and arrangements were made for maternal grandparents to come and pick up the children. “In a case like this, the children in the vehicle could certainly have been put at risk,” said Molendyk.

Public input part of water plan RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The future of Greater Vernon’s water utility will involve the public. That promise came from Vernon politicians as a group of residents pushed for changes to the master water plan Monday. “I’m glad some citizens have come forward,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. “We will open up the plan and take another look at it. The plan at the regional district is to have public input and consultation.” Coun. Juliette Cunningham, who is Greater Vernon Advisory Committee chairperson, says the Regional District

of North Okanagan will create a strategy for public input on how the water utility should evolve. “We want an opportunity for all of the public to express their views,” she said. After the meeting, Cunningham admitted that GVAC must look beyond just the suggestions coming from Citizens for Changes to the Master Water Plan, which presented Monday. “We can’t assume one group is speaking for all of the community,” she said. Citizens for Changes to the Master Water Plan formed after a majority of Greater Vernon voters shot down borrowing $70 million for water plan projects.

“We need to take a fresh, new look at the master water plan,” said Eric Jackson, group spokesperson. “People on fixed incomes are finding it difficult to pay their water bills.” A primary concern for the group is where Greater Vernon is accessing its water. “We chose the wrong water source to treat,” said Jackson of Duteau Creek, adding that it should only be used for irrigation and domestic water should come from Okanagan and Kalamalka lakes. The group is also pushing for an independent consultant to review the master water plan and develop affordable rates.

Group lobbies for utility changes JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

A fresh look, a fresh source and hopefully a drop in rates is what some Greater Vernon citizens are hoping for. The Citizens for Changes to the Master Water Plan made its case to Coldstream council Monday. The group is asking for an independent review of the Greater Vernon master water plan. “Ultimately, we feel there should be a new master water plan that returns rates to an affordable level,” said spokesperson Eric Jackson, who served as Vernon’s director of water reclamation for 25 years. Coldstream has agreed to further discuss the plan at an upcoming committee of the whole meeting, and bring the issue to the Regional District of North Okanagan, which also has plans for discussion and public input. “We have been sitting there for six years now trying to have a debate on water system rates,” said Coun. Gyula Kiss, who has championed for change. The cost of water has tripled in the last dozen years, according to the group, which says in 2003 residents were paying about $300 for 350 cubic metres of water. “That same amount now is costing $900,” said Jackson, not including the two per cent cost increase on tap for water users. “It (water) has become a hardship.” The group says residents are getting hosed by high rates, especially when compared to other communities. Annual water bills, based on the same 350 cubic metres, for 2014 for Kelowna were $291, Penticton was $427, Port Moody is $371 and Langley residents pay $433 The group also says rising costs, along with treating mainly agricultural water, is what led to the defeat of the Nov. 15 defeat of the master water plan borrowing referendum. Water use data from the Duteau Creek treatment plant in 2011 and 2012 shows that only four per cent of the treated water was used for domestic during peak summer days. “The balance, 96 per cent, of the treated water was used for agricultural irrigation,” said Jackson, questioning why Duteau Creek water is being treated to supply mainly irrigation. Kiss suggests transferring the array of existing water licenses in the area to Okanagan Lake. “Treatment cost is significantly lower,” said Kiss, who applauds Jackson’s ideas. “I think you’re on the right track.” Meanwhile others took some offences to Jackson’s presentation. “There’s decisions made from the 1960s to present day,” said Coun. Doug Dirk. “We’re in the unfortunate situation of determining how to go forward. It’s not fruitful to discuss how things could have been done.”

News Actor’s passion remembered ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Armstrong’s 2014 Citizen of the Year is being fondly remembered for his passion for live theatre. Wayne Ashton, co-founder of Armstrong’s Asparagus Community Theatre, died March 19 following an illness. He was 73. “Wayne’s enthusiasm and dedication to provide live theatre in Armstrong is recognized and admired,” said Mayor and longtime friend Chris Pieper. Ashton moved to Armstrong in 1973 with his wife, Janet, and started The Good Time Beauty Salon, across from the Co-Op Gas Station. The salon, along with Sieg’s Barber Shop, became the hub of downtown Armstrong. “Absolutely everything that happened, or was thought to have happened, was discussed in Wayne’s shop,” said Pieper. Ashton ran the business until 1991, then moved it into his home. Ashton and a group of friends decided to start a theatre group in 1981 that would become Asparagus Community Theatre, a group that would hold produc-

Armstrong residents have had the honour of seeing more than 50 performances at the theatre over the years. Ashton’s contribution to young people in the community is also important.

Many children were invited into the theatre troupe and given the chance to express themselves. “Wayne was very generous, relaxed and you could talk to him about anything and he was always willing to listen,” said Mandy Penner, 34, current secretary of Asparagus Community Theatre, a group she’s been involved with for more than 20 years. “He had a great sense of humour and he did so much.” Plays directed by, and starring, Ashton have done well at the O-Zone (Okanagan Zone Drama Festival). His last major success was 2009’s Spoon River Anthology, which won best production at O-Zone and was performed at the provincial Mainstage competition. In 2013, the City of Armstrong’s Centennial year, Ashton wrote and directed a reenactment of the city’s first council meeting, starring the council of the day and local residents. He also starred as Armstrong’s first leading man, Lee Morris, in 2013’s All About The People. A celebration of Ashton’s life will be held Saturday, April 4, at 1 p.m. in Centennial Theatre.

Aboriginal success featured in talk Morning Star Staff

North Okanagan residents can learn more about the growing role of aboriginal youth. On Thursday, Okanagan College will host Gabrielle Scrimshaw, who will speak about how aboriginal people are growing in numbers, educational rates and what it means for the Canadian economy. “We have more than 1,500 Scrimshaw aboriginal students registered in our diverse programs, which is triple what it was 10 years ago,” said Anthony Isaac, aboriginal access and services coordinator at Okanagan College. “We’re excited to have such an influential

speaker, someone many students can relate to, come to our campuses to inspire and engage our community in the broader conversation about diversity and our growing economy.” From 2006 to 2011 the national aboriginal population increased by 20.1 per cent, compared with a growth of 5.2 per cent of non-aboriginal residents, according to Statistics Canada. Saskatchewan-raised Scrimshaw co-founded the Aboriginal Professional Association of Canada, and was the recipient of the 2013 Indspire First Nations Youth Award. She also attended the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation and CEO Summits in Japan as a Voices of the Future delegate where she spoke about foreign policy to world leaders. Scrimshaw will speak at the Vernon campus lecture theatre at 1 p.m. Thursday.

More voices required

basic principle of democracy is the direct involvement of constituents. It may come in the form of voting, providing input on key issues or simply keeping elected officials on their toes. And an example of that grassroots effort is the Citizens for Changes to the Master Water Plan, an affiliation of residents and former politicians and public servants. “I’m glad some citizens have come forward,” said Coun. Catherine Lord after the group presented to Vernon council Monday. “We will open up the plan and take another look at it. The plan at the regional district is to have public input and consultation.” Richard Rolke Citizens for Changes to the Master Water Plan, or CCMWP for short, was borne out of the fiasco that occurred last November when a majority of Greater Vernon residents refused to approve borrowing $70 million for capital projects. The Interior Health Authority had mandated the works to conform to drinking water standards, but the Regional District of North Okanagan’s sales pitch was weak, and speculation about the cost, water sources and operational practises was allowed to fester. With RDNO officials still reeling from the referendum loss, CCMWP has tried to fill the void. “We need to take a fresh, new look at the master water plan,” said Eric Jackson, group spokesperson. “People on fixed incomes are finding it difficult to pay their water bills.” Among the proposals coming from CCMWP is using Duteau Creek strictly for irrigation and shifting all domestic water use to Kalamalka and Okanagan lakes. “Water use data for 2011 and 2012 on peak summer days shows only six megalitres or four per cent of the 150 to 160 megalitres of treated

BEYOND THE HEADLINES

water was used for domestic purposes. The balance, or 96 per cent, of the treated water was used for agricultural irrigation,” said Jackson. “Why are we treating the Duteau Creek water to supply mainly irrigation water? CCMWP is pushing for an independent consultant to review the master water plan and develop a conceptual design for future works and a cost analysis. “We want a new look at the whole master water plan to see where we went wrong,” said Jackson. Obviously that’s fair comment, but who do local politicians take direction from? “We can’t assume one group is speaking for all of the community,” said Juliette Cunningham, a Vernon councillor and Greater Vernon Advisory Committee chairperson. That is also fair comment as members of CCMWP are well-intentioned and bring some expertise to the table, but their mandate and concepts may not represent the broader community, including those who voted against borrowing $70 million. What if another group of residents makes a completely different set of demands regarding water? Should CCMWP be considered more relevant because it was formed first or because it includes a former Vernon mayor and former councillors from the city and Coldstream? And while CCMWP insists voters repudiated the technical merits of the master water plan, that may not be the view for some residents. “We can’t assume to know what failed — the plan or funding for the plan,” said Cunningham. The regional district is currently looking at its next steps for the master water plan, including a strategy for public input. “We want an opportunity for all of the public to express their views,” said Cunningham. Ultimately, members of Citizens for Changes to the Master Water Plan deserve praise for taking an active role on a critical issue that will impact the long-term future of Greater Vernon. But the reality is that in the democratic system we hold so dear, other voices may and should come to the table.

They were small in numbers, but the 30 people who gathered in front of the Vernon Courthouse Tuesday brought a sense of urgency for their call for justice. They are concerned that society continues to overlook the aboriginal women who continue to go missing or are murdered. And that fact appears to be supported by a 2014 Globe and Mail article indicating 1,200 cases of murdered and missing aboriginal women in Canada over 30 years, or three to four times higher than their average representation in the country. “The system is failing,” said Mollie Bono, one of the organizers of Tuesday’s rally. “All we want to do is bring attention. We hope people will write letters and ask officials what they are doing about it.” When incidents occur, the media and authorities often emphasize the woman’s activities, including drug use or prostitution, and a dangerous lifestyle contributed to their disappearance or death. However, this overlooks the fact that these women were mothers, daughters, sisters and spouses. They may have fallen on hard times, but someone loved them. “We as non-aboriginals need to question our assumptions about the lives of aboriginal people,” said Barbara Levesque, a rally organizer. There have been calls for a federal inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women, and while there may be merits to such a process, a final report may ultimately not achieve the desired end result. What is truly needed is for Canadians of all backgrounds to learn more about each other and express compassion. Collective pressure also needs to be placed on the police, courts and bureaucrats to address the systemic flaws that have contributed to cases falling through the cracks.

Trails provide a legacy

f your sitting on the fence about the possibilities of what can become of our rail trail initiative, check out what is going on in Ottawa-Gatineau. The area is famous for disallowing automobile traffic on the parkways around Ottawa and environs every Sunday during the summer months. And with all of the bike paths that interconnect with the parkways you can just about ride out your back door, cycle from the east-end at Orleans, all around and through Ottawa, to Bells Corners and Shirley’s Bay on the Ottawa River in the west. There are kilometres upon kilometres. Bike paths are everywhere, and many families make good use of them together. You can ride along the Ottawa River, the Rideau River, the Rideau Canal, right by the Chateau Laurier and Parliament Hill, all the river and canal parkways, even right by the prime minister's house and through the governor general's residence and beautiful grounds. Then cross the Ottawa River and ride about the river parkways on the Quebec side, go into Parc Gatineau and the beautiful Gatineau Hills. You can bike all day and not ride it all. And all of those riders spend lots of money during these trips. I lived in Ottawa and have spent many a beautiful day riding the paths. I was so very grateful that the

FOR THE RECORD A sentence in Bill Luchak's lead letter to the editor in last Sunday's edition should have read: "Alum would then have sufficient time to drop out the suspended matter." The word 'alum' (used in water purification) was erroneously edited to read aluminum. We apologize for the error. NO DOGS ON BEACH PLEASE This is a public appeal to continue to have no dogs on Kal Beach. This year, the parking lot has been open year-round and I have seen many people using the beach especially on sunny days. It has been great to see the children in late fall, and already this spring, play in the sand. We have lots of ducks and geese and do not need dogs urinating all over the beach along with irresponsible dog owners not picking up. I see all year long, dog owners taking their dogs to the beach and never cleaning up, even with a garbage can handy to put bags in that responsible dog owners should always have handy. There is a great dog park at Creekside Park, only 10 minutes from the parking lot and the tennis court and the log home park to do short safe walks in. Coldstream also made a better walk along Kalamalka Road with moving the barricades, so it is safe to walk to Postill Drive. I have been walking my dogs in the area for 20

years and with respect to children who play in the sand, I do not take my dog to the beach. I pick up along the way also with respect to people pushing buggies, pulling wagons, bikers, etc. so they don't get dog stuff on tires. We have lots of people waking in the area all year long. I was happy to read that the bylaw officers have responded to complaints. Signs are clear at each entrance, and no one should be exempt. I have played at the beach as a child, my children have played at the beach and now my grandchildren play at the beach. Once you let dogs on the beach, it will bring more contaminates also into the beach water, and we already have fragile water with the intake at the Kal Beach end. Please, no dogs and more enforcement year-round to keep the beach dog free. Marg Kardelis

I remember a happy time not long ago when the whole family including their beloved dogs could recreate and exercise together in harmony. I was there. That was before a small minority of the loudest complainers won and ruined those happy moments in life for all of us.

CONGRATULATIONS Kudos for the U15 fundraiser banquet at Wings Tap and Grill March 12 for the trip to nationals. The organizers, team and Wings did a magnificent job. From the start where team members offered wine and appies to the inspiring guests speakers, Lori Moger and Leah Goldstein, the evening was excellent. It was great to see the team members participating as servers, bus people and MCs. Hats off to Wings for providing food and facilities and the organizers for being able to secure Leah Goldstein. Truly a remarkable story and one more example of Canadians excelling. A great evening, a great job and good luck at the nationals in Calgary. Gerry Skura

Vernon’s own MasterChef proves that she is in it to win KrISTIn FronemAn

Morning Star Staff

A bodacious butter chicken poutine has put Vernon’s own MasterChef Canada contestant in contention for a top place in the cooking reality show. Since embarking on the adventure of a lifetime, Jennifer Innis has cooked everything from pies to that Quebecois late-night staple of fries, cheese and gravy, with a twist, and is now one of the top 11 finalists after Sunday’s televised episode. The dental hygienist and mother of three girls proved herself worthy of the competition once again when she and three other of her competitors won the team challenge, creating a butter chicken poutine, with a mango, yogurt and cilantro coleslaw, for hungry students at the University of Guelph campus. “It was the perfect story of the underdog; never underestimate us,” said Innis, who was skeptical about the topping for the poutine at first. “I like butter chicken and I like poutine but there are just some things that don’t appeal to me when they are crossed over. However, after

masterChef Canada judge Alvin Leung takes some time for a hug with Jennifer Innis, left, and Tammy Wood. smelling it and tasting the coleslaw, it had this delicious flavour.” Innis’ entry into the team challenge came as a surprise when the winners of last episode’s mystery box challenge, David Jorge and Sabrina Poirier, were named team captains. Jorge was then given the advantage

of naming a third team captain. He named New Brunswick military veteran Line Pelletier, who had a spectacular loss in the last team challenge, saving herself when she was given the opportunity to save a team member, and then collapsing from dehydration. Innis was a part of Pelletier’s losing team then, and this time she was chosen last (“It’s just like high school,” she told the TV audience) to be a part of Pelletier’s Green Team, along with B.C. native Tammy Wood and Newfoundlander Kristen Dwyer. A self-professed chatterbox, it was Innis’ enthusiasm that helped sell her team’s dish to the students. With tickets in hands, she helped her team win by seven orders over their competitors. “Its not just about food, you have to make yourself stand out... On and off camera, people were saying it didn’t make sense that we won,” said Innis, referring to her team’s lineup looking shorter than the others. “Our dishes were ready to go, and the first 10 we fired out and we kept firing them out.”

The lineup that the TV audience and fellow competitors saw was actually students coming in for seconds. “I know people underestimated our whole team from get go, but I knew it doesn’t count if the tickets were not in the students’ hands for our dish, so I made sure I had the tickets in their hands. They would get no butter chicken without a ticket.” The women from the Green Team also worked as a cohesive unit to prepare their dishes, with Wood cooking up a quick batch of butter chicken sauce when it started to disappear. “Tammy cooking that in just minutes was just nuts,” said Innis. “Tammy has six kids. Tammy is a workhorse. Even on the last challenge, she was fast,” said Innis. “All the little elements of the challenge were exhausting. It was so hot, and I was wearing black jeans. The potato press was also so hard to work. I was aching afterwards.” Saved from elimination, Innis and her teammates watched as the rest of the competitors returned to

the MasterChef Canada kitchen to compete in the pressure test. Jorge and Poirier faced a difficult decision when they were told they could each save one home cook from elimination from each of their teams. Jorge chose Toronto fashion designer Michael Motamedi while Poirier picked former B.C. Lion Jon Hameister-Ries. The remaining home cooks were challenged to prepare the Italian favourite tortellini. Once the hour was up, Christopher Siu impressed the judges with his tortellini stuffed with pancetta, sausage, mushroom, and artichoke, while Kwasi Douglas’ red pepper, anchovy, and raisinstuffed pasta failed to impress judges Michael Bonacini, Alvin Leung, and Claudio Aprile and he was sent him home. Innis’ advantage as a pastry expert may serve her well in the next episode of MasterChef Canada when it airs Sunday at 7 p.m. on CTV. It finds the home cooks facing a sweet but emotional mystery box challenge that requires them to bake and decorate birthday cakes that express something about themselves.

Joes are way above average

“

They’re not your average Joes,” grinned Paul Maynes, president of the North Okanagan Community Concert Association (NOCCA), when he introduced the Joe Trio to Saturday’s audience at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. No average Joes could captivate equally well with either their Christine Pilgrim quips or the classics. The musically expert, highly entertaining Joe Trio comprises Cameron Wilson, chief musical arranger and wizard on violin; Allen Stiles, masterful storyteller and maestro on piano; and Charles Inkman, coaxer of music sweet enough to soothe the most savage of beasts, when he’s not creating the roars of said savage beasts or the chirrups of crickets, on cello. The trio not only carried out its mandate to “unstuff ” the classics; it kicked the stuffing clean out of them, describing titles such

By contrast, the trio irreverently opened their show by saying, “Please remain seated for the national anthem!” They then played

their version of O Canada, renamed Joe Canada, inserting cheeky, witty musical references at every opportunity. These three clowning musicians contorted their generally friendly features into ferocious scowls as they played The Pink Panther theme, Beethoven-style, complete with the wild composer’s “Da da da daaa” opening to his 5th Symphony. It was the second of the trio’s nine variations on the theme, dubbed “the greatest piece of music ever written.” Others included Pink Panther à la Mozart, Stravinsky, Shostakovich and Presley. One variation particularly favoured by the audience focused on an intense, existential search for the meaning of life, the universe and everything. It was a gem. So was the Romantic Pukedom variation which overflowed with the flowery gestures its nickname implies. Speaking of gems, it would be remiss not to mention the first movement of Johannes (Joe) Brahms’s Trio in B Major, Opus 8, accurately described as “long, but good,” as well

as Tom Anderson’s profound tribute to his wife, entitled Da Slockit Light (Extinguishing Light). The varied program culminated in an audience participation version of Dizzy Gillespie’s Salt Peanuts, which drew cries for an encore. The trio obliged and launched, at breakneck speed, into their arrangement of Orange Blossom Special, decorated with segments from Fiddler on the Roof. It earned them a second standing ovation. The evening’s enjoyment was augmented by the presence onstage of three teenaged guitar students coached by Neil Fraser of the Lent, Fraser, Wall Trio. Shane Ranger, Emily Ross and Will Friesen entertained and delighted with pieces written by Fats Waller, Django Reinhardt, and “modern day Reinhardt” Stochelo Rosenberg. Each guitarist improvised solos, played bass line and harmonies and deserved the enthusiastic applause afforded them. The next concert in NOCCA’s Kaleidoscope series features the Bergmann Piano Duo at the Performing Arts Centre April 24 at 7.30 p.m.

Film adds a Gemma to French classic For The Morning Star

The film Gemma Bovery, to be shown by the Vernon Film Society Monday, is an imaginative recasting of French writer Gustave Flaubert’s classic 1856 novel Madame Bovary. The original story focuses on a doctor’s wife, Emma Bovary, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. Set in the lush landscape of Normandy, the movie, Gemma Bovery, revolves around a young married Englishwoman (Gemma Arterton) who moves to a small French village with her husband (Jason Flemyng). Another recent arrival is Martin Joubert (Fabrice Luchini), a baker who has fled Paris along with his long-suffering wife, in search of stability

While Martin quickly takes an interest in Gemma, it’s not long before her eye, too, starts to wander as a result of the inattention of her husband. Gemma confronts a series of key choices in her life as she loses her head in a fit of passion. Director Anne Fontaine, in a clever revision of the original story, portrays Gemma’s lover Joubert as a man completely unaware of the story of Madame Bovary. As a result, Fontaine has him make awkward interventions in an attempt to change the story. Luchini is perfect as

the wary lovelorn baker, while Arterton fits the role of her namesake to perfection. “(Gemma Bovery is) a breezy post-modern update of the classic novel that replaces the book’s darker passages for tongue-in-cheek laughs and plenty of eye candy,” said Jordan Mintzer, with The Hollywood Reporter. Gemma Bovery screens Monday at the Vernon Towne Cinema at the regular times of 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are available one week ahead at the Towne and the Bean Scene for $7 (cash only). The film is in English and French with English subtitles.

The Special Olympics-Vernon softball team says goodbye to longtime coach Graig Carter (front), who has been involved for almost 20 years.

Softball volunteers needed Morning Star Staff

Are you looking for a way to play sports, be inspired and have an impact on your community? Join thousands of volunteers like Cathy Sim, who have found involvement with Special Olympics BC a fulfilling, rewarding and life-enriching experience. “I just love it. When I greet my athletes at the pool or on the ball field they always make me smile,” said Sim, the new softball head coach for Special Olympics BC (SOBC) Vernon. “I leave all the daily stress and worries behind and focus on the needs of my group, who in return inspire me with their

dedication, perseverance and courage. This year we’ll be practising at the Army Camp, DND #2, Mondays from 6 to 8 p.m.” Sim has been a volunteer coach for four years with the swim team and one and a half years with the softball team and has taken over the head coach position from longtime volunteer Graig Carter, who has been involved with Special Olympics for nearly 20 years. “You are a mentor, a role model and a friend, enriching the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities,” said Carter. “The experience to help out, see the athletes develop and succeed in a sport you love and to enhance their lives, is your

reward and satisfaction.” Carter had two athletes from his softball team attend the World Games in Athens four years ago. “But our programs are not only about winning medals or attending games, it is more about the sportsmanship, camaraderie and the life skills these amazing people learn through sports.” SOBC, a registered charitable organization, provides high-quality sports programs and competitions to meet the needs and interests of individuals with intellectual disabilities. The SOBC Vernon Local offers 14 different summer and winter sports, with

more than 140 athletes participating throughout the year. Volunteers are crucial for the success of this charity and there is always a need for more coaches and assistants. “The over 30 athletes on the softball team are in urgent need of help. If we do not get more volunteers we have to send a lot of disappointed athletes home, which will break my heart,” said Sim. For more information on how you can make a difference in someone’s life and to become involved as a sports volunteer for softball, soccer, and track and field, go to: www.sobcvernon.ca, e-mail volunteers@sobcvernon. ca or call 250-503-0091.

Seedy Saturday is a hit

he first Vernon Seedy Saturday was a huge success. The event was attended by 877 people, which is pretty close to 900. A big number for the first one and organized in such a short time. The venue was just perfect, with lots of space between the tables so people could walk around Jocelyne Sewell easily, and lots of parking. I am sure it will be back next year. As the first speaker of the day could not make it, I replaced him talking about starting your own seeds and growing some of your own favourite vegetables. I also demonstrated how I start my seeds by bringing some already germinated and ready to plant; how to make your little pots with newspaper and showing some items available to help any gardeners wanting an early start in the garden. More people are becoming interested in growing figs so I am sure that the talk by Bill Hickey was well-attended. The only

problem by having a table at the event, you don’t have time to take in all the other interesting talks and movies going on. If you missed any of the Seedy Saturdays, you have one more chance. The Sustainable Environment Network Society (SENS) is having its annual meeting on Thursday at the Schubert Centre. One more seed and plant swap/sale will be happening at 6:30 p.m. March 22 was water day. Lots of web sites are celebrating this day and we all should make an effort to save as much water as we can. With the rain we had last week, it was enough to fill six of the rain barrels we have. This should keep me going for a short while. We really needed the rain as the ground is dry. I removed the leaf mulch from the beds just in time for them to get the benefit of it. As the plants come up and we can tell what they are, it is a good time to start dividing some of the perennials. The ones that bloom early in the spring are better left alone until they are finished blooming, like irises. Once the flower of the tulips and the early blooming bulbs have terminated their spring show, do not cut the leaves until they turn yellow

and ripen naturally. The green leaves are storing the energy for next year’s growth. If you cut them too soon, the bulbs might not bloom again the following year. The sun has to shine on these leaves. I have seen leaves braided or tied in a knot for better appearance of the beds. It might be robbing the bulbs also. If you don’t like the look of it, you could plant some in pots, sinks them in the ground and after the blooms are over, remove the pots and replace them with other plants or summer flowers. Yellow floppy leaves is a small price to pay for such beautiful flowers that deer don’t eat. Over the seasons, I have had many phone calls from readers. Quite often I am out in the garden and some questions I have to research as I really do not know everything. Besides my phone number listed in my column, I have added a new email address. Anyone interested can now contact me at the following address: plantlady1@shaw.ca. Don’t forget the 1 as the other name already exists. I am not ready for Facebook or a blog but this will do for now.

heaven. This year is particularly exciting as we had an Anna’s hummingbird overwinter in Vernon so we should be seeing these beautiful coastal birds in our backyards this year. The Anna’s are joining our regulars which are the Calliope, (the smallest North American hummingbird) the elusive black chinned and the declining Rufous. It’s not known the exact reason

for the Rufous’ decline but scientists and citizen scientists are doing research to find the cause. To help all the species maintain their numbers and protect them and their young during their breeding season in our valley, here are four things we can do. 1) Proper Feeders It’s best to buy glass if possible. It is common to find glass in

BUT IS YOUR ESTATE

PREPARED?

7 out of 10 executors report their experience as highly stressful

Only you (will-writer) can prevent this Do you know how high the probate fee will be? Should you jointly-own your home to avoid probate? What are the dangers of that strategy? What struggles aggravate executors the most? What simple steps can you take now to avoid them? Will your executor have to deal with capital gains taxes? Is it more difficult for family if the cremation or burial wasn’t preplanned?

inverted feeders. They have plastic feeders as well and if you do buy plastic make sure that it is “Food Grade Plastic” and “IV Stabilized.” This ensures that there is no chemical leakage into the food they eat. The cheap plastic disintegrates in our hot summer sun and will contaminate the food. The basin style feeders usually come in plastic and some have the “flowers” incorporated into the plastic mold and will be red. Red flowers are better than yellow because yellow is attractive to wasps. Other basin feeders have yellow flowers which can be popped out to clean because mould can easily grow between the flower base and the feeder. Whichever style you

choose make sure they can be completely dismantled for cleaning. 2) Clean Feeders Feeders should be cleaned with hot water (no soap). The feeder should be totally dismantled and feeding ports taken apart. Use a bottle brush for inverted types and pipe cleaners for the small holes. Every time you refill your feeder, take it apart and rinse with hot water. Twice a week use the brush and pipe cleaners to ensure it’s clean. Mould is a death sentence to hummingbirds. If there is any sign of black mould, soak your feeder for one hour in a mixture of 1/4 cup of bleach to one gallon of water. Rinse the parts several times in hot water to remove all trac-

es of the bleach. With some of the inverted feeders they have a yellow basket at the feeder port which is prone to getting mouldy. You can buy replacement ports if you are having problems. The reason this happens is that when the birds land on the feeder it sways and the liquid runs down the port into the yellow basket. 3) Food The recipe for their food is one part white sugar to four parts water. Low boil for two minutes in a covered pot (covering ensures there is no evaporation of the water to increase the concentration), cool to room temperature before filling feeders. This food can be stored in the fridge for seven days.

Never use brown sugar, honey or sugar substitutes as these contain components that will harm the birds. Do not add red dye. The red on the hummingbird feeder base is all that is needed. Do not add scent to the food. Hummingbirds cannot smell. The healthiest food for the hummingbirds is homemade food so save your money and don’t buy pre-made food from the store. If food is cloudy it’s bad and you need to clean and refill.

feature event: capsule college presents lecture on food security march 26

he Capsule College Speakers Series, Spring 2015 presents “Let’s Eat Right: Exploring Food Security” with Sharon McCoubery, Faculty of Education at UBCO, Thursday, March 26 at 9:30 a.m. at the Halina Centre. Tickets $7 at the door or purchase at the Bean Scene. What could be more basic, but more complex, than eating right and food security! This talk will endeavour to bring some clarity to the topic of food security by providing basic information about a number of issues related to food, including the right to food, sustainable practices, organics, Agricultural Land Commission, nutrition and health, and even a brief look at the connection to economics. Examples of specific food-based projects will be shared. Following this brief coverage of food security topics, the talk will move to the personal level to explore ways in which everyone can contribute to food security, while still enjoying and celebrating food. This talk is a scholarship fundraiser for Okanagan College and sponsored by Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Vernon.

Spring skiers enjoy fresh snowfall as the winter season nears an end at Silver Star Mountain Resort.

Showdown hits Star slopes Morning Star Staff

Silver St a r Mountain Resort celebrates the 10th annual Showdown Throwdown Hoedown slopestyle event. From Friday to Sunday, the Showdown is a fully sanctioned, silver-level competition through the Association of Freestyle Professionals and the Canadian Freestyle Ski Association. The event is held in the resort’s terrain park and is also part of the Canadian Open Tour. Competitors will not only be competing for cash and prizes, but they will also be earning points in the world rankings open pro and open amateur - ski and snowboard categories. Entry costs $135 for pro/open competitors and $75 for amateurs and competitors are encouraged to register early. “It’s been a challenging year for snow but we’ve managed to be creative, like harvesting piles of snow from various locations. We’ve been rather resourceful and have a few other tricks up our sleeve,” said Dave Palm, Silver Star’s grooming manager. “We’re celebrating a decade of this fun spectator event which started out as a grassroots competition so we’re making sure it happens.” The annual event combines with other popular spring events including the Spring Loaded Telemark

Festival Friday to Sunday, where all abilities are invited to ski and socialize with the local telemark community and meet racers and skiers from around the world. And from March 30 to April 5, Silver Star hosts the Canadian Junior Nationals which includes various disciplines such as moguls, dual moguls, slopestyle, big air and aerials. “Spring skiing is an exciting tradition with heaps of events that many look forward to every March and April,” said Anne Haight, director of sales and marketing. “Unlike during the regular season, there is really no urgency for first chair and first tracks, but rather, the focus becomes sporting a typical goggle tan and socializing with

friends and family.” For its last weekend (April 4 to 6), the resort will be celebrating spring skiing with a Retro Day April 4 where guests are invited to dust off their old school ski outfits for a fashionable day on the slopes. A fashion show at 3 p.m. will give retro spring skiing enthusiasts the opportunity to strut their stuff on the runway. April 5 is Hawaiian Shirt Day and all season pass holders are invited to attend a free barbecue hosted by Silver Star’s managers. On April 6, enjoy a bonus day and the last tracks of the 2014-15 winter season. “Closing weekend is always a big party. This is the chance to gather your craziest and loudest shirt, splash on the sun screen, and soak up the rays for one last

time,” said Haight. “We encourage everyone to come up and enjoy the mountain and celebrate another exciting winter season up here at the Star.”

During April, Daffodil Month, the Canadian Cancer Society asks all Canadians to buy a daffodil pin and wear it to show their support for those living with cancer. “We celebrate the power of the flower all year round, but April is really our time to shine,” said Elisheva Benjamin, volunteer and unit presi-

Last year, thanks to everybody’s generous support of Daffodil Month, the Canadian Cancer Society was able to fund $45 million dollars in worldclass research to fight all cancers and help more than 85,000 Canadians through its information and support services. The society also funds important cancer prevention work so fewer Canadians are diagnosed in the first place. “In April, we like to focus on the support programs that help people in Vernon on a cancer journey,” said Benjamin. “Like our financial support program that helps pay for patients’ travel expenses to get to treatment, and our wig bank in our local office where people can come and borrow a wig and get the emotional support they need.” Of the five different regions in the B.C./ Yukon division of the Canadian Cancer Society, the Southern Interior region is the largest user of the financial support program. Since September 2010, more than 1,500 clients have been approved for a total of more than $700,000 in funding. “Our region is the biggest user of the financial support program

for several reasons,” said Benjamin. “We’re very geographically dispersed and patients often have to travel long distances for cancer treatment in Kelowna or Vancouver. For example, a patient in Cranbrook might need specialized treatment that they can only get in Vancouver. That’s 958 kilometres with limited low-cost transportation options and barriers such as mountain passes and winter weather. “I’m proud to be a part of the Canadian Cancer Society because I think with the help of our amazing volunteers and generous donors we’re making a real difference in the lives of people on their cancer journey.” In Vernon, the Canadian Cancer Society kicks off Daffodil Month by selling fresh cut daffo-

Vipers look forward with hope Vees take Game 7 with lucky bounce KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

PENTICTON – Pundits picked the Vernon Vipers to squeak into the fourth and final Interior Division playoff spot. Those predictions came before the Vipers began the regular B.C. Hockey League season with an interim head coach. Enter former Snakes’ bench boss Mark Ferner, who began the season assisting Don Hay with the Western League Kamloops Blazers. The 49-year-old ex-NHL d-man tweaked the roster, brought in his proven structured system and the team slowly flourished, finishing a solid second behind the Penticton Vees, ranked No. 6 in the nation. The Vipers delivered a fast, thrill-a-second brand of hockey buoyed by wheels from the likes of Thomas Aldworth, TJ Dumonceaux, Liam Coughlin and Liam Finlay. They surprisingly swept the gritty Merritt Centennials in round one of the post-season and then took the mighty Vees – stacked with 13 U.S. scholarship players and nine returnees – to Game 7 of the Interior finals Sunday night before 3,200 boisterous fans at the South Okanagan Events Centre.

Sexton, an Ottawa product who turns 21 next month, has recorded 16 goals in five years of Junior A. His last snipe deserved a better fate.

Citron singled out Todoyschuk, who served as Austin Smith’s caddy in last year’s playoffs and the Royal Bank Cup. “He played phenomenal all series, but sometimes the results don’t add up. That’s life. Sometimes you don’t get the bounces. I think this team deserved a better fate. Good luck to them (Vees). It’s a good organization and they’ve got a good team.” Penticton co-captain Cody DePourcq, who battles opponents almost twice his size night after night, sported a perma-grin outside the Vees’ NHLlike dressing room Sunday night. “It feels amazing,” said DePourcq, whose father, John, was a 52-goal scorer for the Penticton Knights in the 1986-87 season when they were swept by Vernon in the Interior semifinals. “There’s no real words to describe how we feel in there, especially to see Patrick Sexton get that goal. He’s a great player for us. He battles so hard. It was good to see him get rewarded like that.” The emotions for DePourcq were much different 12 months ago. “I was on the ice for the overtime goal so that was a tough moment. To get this one was huge.” All the Vees showed class by embracing Finlay, a former teammate, traded to Vernon for the rights to Dakota Conroy of the WHL Prince Albert Raiders early in the season, in the handshake. Sexton rocked Finlay with a monster hit in Game 2, knocking him out of the middle part of the series.

“I just told him I was really happy he was OK,” said Sexton. “He’s such a good kid. He fit in really well here. I’m glad he had a great year. I was happy to see he was OK. He was able to come back in this series. Just wished him best of luck the rest of the way next year. He said he appreciated that.” Vees’ winger Jack Ramsey, a Chicago Blackhawk draft out of Minnesota, also talked to Finlay. “I told him, ‘Good job, hard series.’ He took a hard hit in Game 2 and he came back and that takes a lot of courage and strength. It’s tough to see a friend lose, but we’re happy to move on.” Ramsey, the son of Miracle on Ice Team USA and retired NHL d-man Mike Ramsey, praised the Vees’ seventh man. “We 100 per cent fed off the crowd. It’s a different game if that’s crowd’s not there. They’re the best fans in the league; they were loud the whole game and energized us the whole time.” Ramsey’s sister, Rachel, an All-American senior, helped the Minnesota Gophers ground the Harvard Crimson Tide 4-1 Sunday for the NCAA women’s hockey championship. “It was a pretty overwhelming day for our family,” said Ramsey. The Vees host the Nanaimo Clippers tonight in Game 1 of the double round robin series involving the three conference champions. The Chilliwack Chiefs are the other entry. The top two teams advance to the best-of-seven Fred Page Cup series.

The Kelowna Rockets will face superstar goalie Eric Comrie and the Tri-City Americans in round 1 of the WHL playoffs. Kelowna, who needed just five games to dispose of Tri-City during last spring’s playoff run, open the series Friday and Saturday nights at Prospera Place. The series switches to Kennewick Tuesday and Wednesday. Kelowna GM Bruce Hamilton, a member of Hockey Canada’s junior management team, saw Comrie’s handywork at the world juniors. “(Comrie) is the best goalie in our league and the

one of the best goalies in Canada,” said Hamilton. “He can win games on his own, he’s definitely a difference-maker. We’ll need to get lots of traffic in front and get pucks by him.” The Rockets took three of four regular season meetings between the teams, outscoring the Ams 17-7 in the process. With the odds stacked against them, Hamilton expects the Americans to play loose. “They had a great finish to the season,” he said of Tri-City. “They don’t have anything to worry about, so I’m sure they’ll try and disrupt us. We just have to keep playing the way we can.”

Vernon skiers round up medals Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Ski Club hosted 120 sthletes at the recent sixth annual Kal Tire Round Up at Silver Star Mountain Resort. The Kal Tire Round Up is a fun-filled event with a western theme which wraps the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10-week entry level race programs for kids aged five to 12. Athletes competed in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under the Hill Downhillâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;High Noon Duel Slalom,â&#x20AC;? followed by a barbecue lunch and awards ceremonies in the village. More than 60 draw prizes were given out, including two pairs of skis, donated by Blizzard/Tecnica, Nordica, Olympia Cycle & Ski, Attridge Snow Ski Wake and Sun Valley Source for Sports. In the girls slalom, top Vernon Ski Club athletes in their respective age categories were Ellie Tupper, Lauren Clancy, Natalie Fux, Camryn Steele, Aida Mills, Cassidy Cruikshank and Clara Cox. In the boys slalom, gold medals went

to Cole Ogasawara, Benjamin Straight, Rowan Smith, Maxim Ball, Sean Robinson, Lucas Ball and Nash Steele. In the girls downhill, it was Ella Rolleston, Grace Sebulsky, Charlotte Wargniez, Brinnley Magee, Aida Mills, Cassidy Cruikshank and Clara Cox who were the top VSC athletes. In the boys downhill, Cole Ogasawara, Bodhi Cull, Braxton McDonald, Jake Blankley, Deklen McDonald, Asher Kuiken and Nash Steele struck gold in their age groups. Meanwhile, a competitive field, including a handful of racers from the Vernon Ski Club, were at Revelstoke Mountain Resort for the four-day Fidelity U14 CanAm Championships which ended Sunday. The top 40 athletes from the U14 B.C. finals held recently at Silver Star, were invited to the Fidelity U14 races. Clubs from the U.S., Alberta and B.C. all were challenged by warm wet condi-

tions for the first three days of competition, finishing off on a sunny Sunday. After two days of GS and two days of slalom racing, Caele Kassa of Vernon finished fourth, which included a second in a GS race. Clubmate Gerrit Van Soest was eighth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Vernon U14 team had a very successful week,â&#x20AC;? said Vernon Ski Club head coach Andrew Lambert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Several other athletes had personal bests or placed in the top-15. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mostly, I am psyched with my teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to improve and support one another.â&#x20AC;? Also representing the Vernon Ski Club were Katrina Fink, Nadia Jones, Makena Kersey, Braeden Kersey, Emma Lockwood and Raine Smith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look forward to finishing up the season at the zone championships at Big White (Ski Resort in Kelowna), followed by Whistler Cup in early April,â&#x20AC;? said Lambert.

Orme gets mixed gold Morning Star Staff

There was no stopping Dean Joanisse at the B.C. Mixed Curling Championships in Kelowna. Joanisse, from the Royal City Curling Club in New Westminster, and his rink of third Shannon Aleksic, Vernon native Tyler Orme at second and lead Kelsey Steiger, went undefeated to claim the provincial crown, capping things off with a 5-2 win Sunday over former Vernon junior curler Tom Buchy and Tyler Orme his Kimberley rink. Joanisse, who lost the provincial menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final to Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jim Cotter at the Vernon Curling Club in February, began Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final by scoring three in the first. They then forced Buchy to blank the second end, before stealing one in the third. The teams shook hands after seven ends of the eight-end final. The Joanisse foursome, sponsored by Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rellish Transport, will now represent B.C. at the Canadian mixed championships, Nov. 7-14, at the Weston Club in Toronto. Buchy, and third Lori Buchy, second Dave Toffolo and lead Robyn Toffolo, recorded singles in the fifth and seventh end but had to concede in the eighth after running out of rocks. They previously

won the championship in 2006, 2010 and 2012. Joanisse went 3-0 in the preliminary round to claim the A event and a spot in the one-versustwo Page Playoff format Saturday night, where he scored an 8-3 win over Mike Freeman of Chilliwack. Joanisse took control of the match with a five-ender in the first. The win gave Joanisse a berth in the final and dropped Freeman to the semifinal match. Buchy began his trip to the provincial final with an 8-4 C event qualifying win over Salmon Armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paul Cseke, curling out of Royal City (Cseke was Joanisseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third at the provincial menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finals). In the three-versus-four playoff game, Buchy dumped Sarah Wark of Kerry Park, near Duncan, 6-1, advancing to the semifinal where he edged Freeman 4-3 to earn a spot in the final. The Joanisse rink is unbeaten since they formed in February. Three members of Team Joanisse had already come close to clinching provincial titles this year as Joanisse was runner-up at the B.C. Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, in Vernon, whilst Orme took bronze at the same event and Aleksic was a B.C. Scotties bronze medallist. Said Aleksic: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a thrill and honour to represent your province at a national championship. It is all the more special because I have achieved this with my fiancĂŠ (Joanisse) and two great friends. We look forward to trying to do B.C. proud.â&#x20AC;?

The Vernon duo of Nathan Champness and Tara Ivanitz used strong swims to set the tone for the other racers at the recent UBC Triathlon. Champness, second out of the water a minute back, took over on the 40-kilometre bike portion. He posted race-best bike and (10k) run splits to win in 1 hour, 56 minutes and 54 seconds, just over three minutes ahead of Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brendan Naef. Ivanitz, a former Vernon Kokanee, dominated in the water, leading the overall race out of the 1.5-k pool swim. Ivanitz was caught by eventual womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner Jen Annett of Penticton, but gamely hung on to finish fourth woman overall and win the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 25-29 age category. Though Champness and Ivanitz currently reside in Kamloops, their sponsors and supporters include many Vernon businesses: The Starting Block, Sun Country Cycle, Move Massage Therapy, Endurance Health and Fitness, RB Piping Inc, Re-Cycled Accessories, and Vernon Save-On-Foods. In the Sprint race, Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Matt Baumeister placed third overall, and took second in the Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 25-29 category.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder FOR PAIR NUMBER TWO, DECLARER-PLAY FIRST Walter Lippmann said, “Because the results are expressed in numbers, it is easy to make the mistake of thinking that the intelligence test is a measure like a foot ruler or a pair of scales. It is, of course, a quite different sort of measure. Intelligence is not an abstraction like length and weight; it is an exceedingly complicated notion - which nobody has yet succeeded in defining.” Many years ago, I wrote a lengthy analysis of the various types of IQ test. I noted that these tests and bridge have some things in common. In particular, the more you practice on a particular type of test or

bridge-play technique, the better you will score. In today’s deal, how should South plan the play in four spades after the defenders begin with three rounds of hearts? Since North might have raised spades with only three-card support, holding, for example, 3-45-1 distribution, South rebid three clubs to test the waters. North, with four spades, a useful club king and a ruffing value in that suit, was happy to jump to game despite his weak trumps. Declarer can afford only one trump loser. This requires finding East with the ace, the suit splitting 3-2, and leading twice toward the hand with the

two honours. South crosses to dummy with, say, a diamond and leads a spade. Presumably, East will play low. Declarer takes the trick with his king (or queen), returns to dummy with a club, and leads another trump. With this layout, the defenders cannot defeat the contract.

Pain free in 2 weeks. This is what happened to me personally. I tried drugs, acupuncture, magnets and many other methods. Finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. It gave me the idea that I could help thousands of the 5 million men and women suffering daily in Canada with the worst pain on earth to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle. <For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night with 3 bottles costing less than $100. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON. <Cancelled knee replacement. 1 was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. <At first I was skeptical. I gradually noticed an improvement. Then I took another brand. I was surprised having so much pain again. Eventually I realized that I needed to re-order Bell. Found relief again. Marie Ciraulo, 72, Oakland, CA. <Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without #1 NPN 80042283 hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister…Also guaranteed for sciatica. Hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.
