Signal aids rescue operation roger knox Morning Star Staff
Two all-terrain vehicle (ATV) operators were spot-on in their ability to help a pair of injured ATV enthusiasts Sunday afternoon. Shortly after 4:15 p.m. Sunday, a SPOT emergency centre in the U.S. reported a distress signal in the mountains between Sugar Lake and Mabel Lake near Lumby. A Lumby RCMP officer attended to assist emergency health services and Vernon Search and Rescue personnel at an area near Squaw Valley Road.
“It turned out to be an ATV accident.” — Molendyk
“It turned out to be an ATV accident on a forest service road,” said VernonNorth Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Two men, one aged 48 from
Cherryville, and a 34-year-old man from Kelowna, sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries after their side-by-side ATV rolled after contacting a cut in the road full of water. Another pair of ATV operators came upon the scene and used their SPOT device to signal for help. “One man had shoulder and rib injuries, the other had a neck injury,” said Molendyk. The Cherryville resident was taken away from the scene by air ambulance, while the Kelowna resident was transported to hospital by ambulance.

There was more than one complaint to Vernon RCMP Monday about a man going through vehicles and yards on Middleton Mountain. There were six complaints. One of the callers reported a man looking at bikes, vehicles and in house windows near her residence on Cranberry Lane. Several more calls came in about the same suspect. “Our officers, along with a police dog services team, attended and they located a 32-year-old man who was arrested for theft,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The man was alleged to have been stealing items from boats, vehicles and garages in the area. Most of the stolen items were recovered and returned to their rightful owners. The man was released from custody with conditions.

Open liquor seized after vehicle stopped ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Sitting in the parking lot of the Lumby RCMP detachment Monday afternoon, an officer happened to notice a man in a pickup on his cell phone and not wearing a seatbelt as he drove past the police station. So, shortly after 2 p.m., the officer followed the truck and stopped it a short distance away. When he spoke to the driver, the officer detected the odour of liquor on the driver’s breath, but the man said he had not consumed liquor since the previous day. “However, when he stepped out of the vehicle he spilled two full open cans of beer at the officer’s feet,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The man not only failed a roadside breath sample, he also told the officer he did not know he was anywhere near the Lumby detachment. “Our officer took the added step of playing back the in-car police video for the man to show him of what just happened a few minutes prior,” said Molendyk. The 38-year-old Lumby resident was charged
with using an electronic device while driving, failing to wear a seatbelt and possessing open liquor in a motor vehicle. He was also issued a 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition and his vehicle was impounded for 30 days.

Program puts the brakes on Lumby speeders Morning Star Staff
Lumby’s Speed Watch Program has been a quick success. The program started May 11 and officials have announced it will be in effect throughout the summer and into the fall. “The program operates in support of ICBC and the ICBC Road Sense initiative,” said Regan Borisenko, crime prevention co-ordinator with the City of Vernon Safe Communities Unit. The unit co-ordinates the Speed Watch program, operated by RCMP volunteers throughout the Lumby area. The purpose of the Speed Watch program is to enhance road safety and increase the level of awareness of the dangers of unsafe speed and distracted driving. The Speed Watch program has a goal of reducing the inci-

dents of speeding by reflecting drivers speed and reinforcing the speed limit in that zone. “Trained RCMP volunteers use digital speed reader boards and a radar unit and concentrate on areas where speeding is a major hazard,” said Borisenko. “Volunteers will
be initially concentrating on the 60 kilometre per hour zones entering Lumby as well as school zones.” Speed Watch operatives will also be working with Lumby RCMP, who will be issuing tickets for excessive speed or distracted driving. “Expect to see Speed Watch operations around the Village of Lumby as part of village council’s investment into the RCMP Citizens Patrol Program,” said Borisenko. “Please remember these volunteers are actively working to make Lumby a safer place to work, raise children and live.” For more information about the Speed Watch Program or to participate in the Lumby RCMP volunteer programs, contact Borisenko by calling 250-550-7847 or e-mail rborisenko@vernon.ca

play an important role in Shuswap and North Okanagan communities,” said Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo. “I would like to congratulate these organizations for the work they’ve done toward making our communities vibrant and family friendly.” Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster is also pleased to see this diverse group of non-profit organizations hard at work in communities benefit from the grants. “These organizations make a significant contribution to our community and make life more enjoyable for residents.” About $7 million in grants is being distributed this month to approximately 200 sport and arts and culture groups around the province. The community gaming grant program allows non-profit organizations to apply for provincial gaming revenues to support direct delivery of a program that benefits the broader community.
Event raises Huntington Disease awareness Morning Star Staff
It’s called a run, but you can run and/or walk to help raise money to battle Huntington Disease. The eighth annual Run to Finish Huntington Disease goes Saturday in Vernon at Kin Beach. “Registration will be at 9 a.m. with the run beginning at 10 a.m,” said event spokesperson Laurie Williams. Awards and announcements will follow at 11:30 a.m.
Fundraising for this event is already more than $5,700. Participants who raise more than $100 in pledges will receive a free teamHD T-shirt, and those who raise more than $300 receive a teamHD gym bag and a T-shirt. Huntington disease is a debilitating brain disorder that is fatal and incurable. About one in every 7,000 Canadians has HD. Many more are touched by HD whether as a caregiver, a
family member or a friend. The symptoms may include uncontrollable jerking movements and relentless cognitive and emotion impairment. Symptoms usually appear between the ages of 30 and 45, and gradually worsen over the 10-to-25-year course of the disease. For more information about the event, contact Dan Middleton at (250) 808-8072 or e-mail hscokanagan@yahoo.ca

Shedding light on the subject
W
ord came late last week that the Ministry of Transportation’s controversial plan for Stickle Road had been
scrapped. “The original plan is put on the shelf, it’s not going to be used,” said Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA, in Sunday’s Morning Star. The ministry had been proposing that left turns from Stickle Road on to Highway 97 be prohibited, something that angered residents and businesses in that immediate area. “I lobbied the minister (Todd Stone) who was aware of the negative publicity the plan had attracted,” said Foster. “He totally agreed that the ministry was planning to spend a lot of Richard Rolke money that the people we’re spending it for don’t want, and it’s not going to serve their needs, so it’s been scrapped.” And it’s great that elected officials have been responsive, but one has to wonder how things still got as far as they did, particularly when ministry staff had known for years that a rightin, right-out concept was not wanted. In 2012, the Regional District of North Okanagan board passed a motion calling for a traffic control signal to be installed at Stickle Road and Highway 97. And when ministry officials came before RDNO with options in late 2014, regional directors were clear once again about what they wanted. “We had indicated our options from the start,” said Bob Fleming, BX-Swan Lake director, of a light. Despite all of that, the ministry still presented RDNO with its official plan — blocking left-hand turns — April 1 and a public open house was held April 30. The event included a series of information boards touting the benefits of right-in, right-out over a traffic light.
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
Among the reasons was left-hand turns, “would increase greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles idling at a signalized intersection.” Obviously the environment is important, but how do vehicles at a light contribute to global warming more than forcing vehicles on the west side of the road to go south to 27th Street or Pleasant Valley Road and backtrack so they can get on to Highway 97 and head north? During the open house, ministry staff stuck to their guns and did their best to convince residents and businesses that a light is misguided. “It doesn’t meet signal warrants because only five per cent of the traffic makes any turning movements there,” said Rampaul Dulay, project director, adding that 95 per cent of the traffic goes through the intersection on the highway. However, what Dulay failed to point out is the statistics are skewed because motorists avoid turning left at Stickle Road because of the risk involved. If a traffic light was installed, usage would increase, particularly as more commercial development occurs in the area. Given that the ministry knew well in advance that there was opposition to right-in, right-out at Stickle, it would be interesting to know how much was spent on engineering plans, cost estimates and fancy graphics for a plan that has now been apparently abandoned? But while right-in, right-out is shelved, there are no guarantees of a traffic light either. “I asked the ministry staff to try and get something back to me before the end of the (Legislative) session at the end of this month,” said Foster. It was political pressure that got the original concept scrapped, but Foster can’t be complacent and expect the ministry to do the right thing. Businesspeople, residents and local politicians have spoken loud and clear and Foster needs to add his voice to the chorus calling for a light.
There’s no question that a lack of Canada Day fireworks in Vernon this year is disappointing. After all, a pyrotechnics show is a terrific wrap-up to day-long activities celebrating this great nation of ours. Disappointment aside, though, we should acknowledge those who made the July 1 fireworks a tradition residents came to anticipate. Leading the pack was Terry Schmauder, a local financial advisor who chaired a volunteer committee for 12 years and often single-handily ensured plans for the fireworks came together, including raising the almost $30,000 needed for explosives. Schmauder is always quick to give credit to sponsors, committee members and firefighters from BX-Swan Lake and Vernon who provided their expertise. “We all shared a sense of civic and national pride in putting on the Canada Day fireworks display and entertainment,” he said. Twelve years is a lot to expect from a volunteer and Schmauder should be proud of what he achieved for the community and the country. And while there are no fireworks for 2015, we hope Schmauder’s legacy will continue. But for that to occur in 2016 and years beyond, a group of volunteers needs to step up to the plate to fundraise and plan. Also critical to this process is the City of Vernon, which has had representation on the organizing committee, assisted in grant applications and provided behind-the-scenes assistance. There has to be a catalyst to reignite fireworks and the city can provide that leadership. If everything comes together, the skies above Vernon will glitter again on Canada Day.

Cosens Bay plan questioned
he Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, is trying to convince those of us interested in preserving Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park that Cosens Bay Road needs improving. It is not safe and should be straightened, widened and realigned. To do this, MoTI needs to remove a piece of the park centered on the present road, 20 metres wide and 4.5 kilometres long. That's a lot of land and will effectively cut the park in two. I have learned that B.C. Parks and MoTI have co-operated over the years to make Cosens Bay Road as safe as it is now. Using a park use permit, MoTI could do all of the improvements needed to make the road even more safe. Maybe it's the 20-metre wide right-of -way that is really needed, a right-of-way that MoTI mentions could be used for "future utilities." They hasten to admit that they don't need those utilities. It must be presWATER ACCESS The Morning Star (Water flows for growing farm April 5) reports that terms of an agreement between the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee and the Township of Spallumcheen were arbitrarily bypassed so treated water is now supplied to a private agricultural business. Director Akbal Mund is quoted as saying, "We're here to help our businesses grow." This is too much to impose on City of Vernon taxpayers coping with hugely exorbitant water rates. The 80,000 apple trees should have been planted in a area where untreated water is available. Was the orchardist advised in advance that water would be made available despite the existing agreement and a staff recommendation against providing additional water? In the same newspaper, a letter to the editor expresses concern for local cattle producers facing hardship. Should we be subsidizing those cattle producers too? How long would the list be of local businesses wanting financial
sure from the communities at the end of Cosens Bay Road. Over the last couple of years, some in the communities at the end of Cosens
help? I am not against helping small business, it's what is being used to do it, subsidized treated water for agricultural water at my expense. Now a dangerous precedent has been set. As you are aware, using treated water for other than domestic purposes is most controversial, but if this is a short-term solution for the orchardist, at the very least, he should be paying the same rates as I do for the same treated water. The master water plan referendum against borrowing money to support it, and objections to high water rates, have been at the forefront of the news. When GVAC arranges to provide a private agricultural business with treated water at a lower cost than what I am paying, it's a slap in the face. Mund seems to have forgot that he also wears a mayor's hat. Who's looking after my interests? It seems to me that decisions about our water are being made without the utmost respect our most precious resource deserves, and with little or no regard for the
Bay Road have been interested in obtaining electricity and sewer, two very useful utilities. Above ground electricity is really the
people who pay it. Is the City of Vernon taking any action so I am not subsidizing the cost of water for the orchard in the long-term? Morris Alger IN MEMORY As we mark the passing of John Slater, former Liberal MLA and mayor of Osoyoos, let us especially remember and celebrate him as a champion for water. Under his leadership as chairperson of the Okanagan Basin Water Board from 2003 to 2008, the agency went through a dramatic renewal of mandate, from focusing primarily on aquatic weed control to a dynamic organization earning national recognition for collaborative water stewardship. It was this legacy of excellence that led to his 2009 appointment by Premier Christy Clark as parliamentary secretary for water supply and allocation, supporting the modernization of the B.C. Water Act. John cared passionately for water and for the Okanagan, and made a lasting difference. Anna Warwick Sears,
only practical way of getting power to a dead-end road. Power poles along Cosens Bay Road the only practical route. If the MoTI proposal is accepted by government, we can look forward to a twolane subdivision road dividing Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park and bordered by power poles with wires and cables every 100 metres. At least 1.5 kilometres of improved road through the park will also be bordered by a clearcut to accommodate the power poles, with large setback to prevent trees falling on those power wires. Perhaps in years to come, we can look forward to further improvements with paving, sewer and a gas utility, even street lights. If I was one of the 100 cabin owners at the end of the road, I'd want electricity, gas and sewer too. Richard Story
Okanagan Basin Water Board executive director ISN'T IT IRONIC? I am just wondering if you see the irony of your paper having a front page article April 22 on officials monitoring water levels in the Okanagan. And then on page three of the same issue, you have a photograph of a firefighter washing down the sidewalks with a hose as part of the Enderby CleanUp Challenge. This doesn't appear to be very water wise in this day and age. Julie Hughes IN RESPONSE Dear Mr. Mayes, you have been reported in The Morning Star as saying that you have not received any comments regarding Bill C51. If I remember correctly, I have sent you at least two e-mails disagreeing with the government's position on the need for this legislation, and expressing concern about its potential for misuse in stifling legitimate opposition to government policies. I hope you will retract the quot-
ed statement.

Sending a powerful message about mental illness Kal Secondary students pull cover off the stigma of mental illness with new play The Inside Club Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
“He thinks he’s sick again.” “She hears voices.” “They’re crazy.” These whisperings down the hall at high school are what many teens living with a mental illness have to bear. Whether it’s depression or anxiety, mood or eating disorders, schizophrenia or self-injury, mental illness cannot be trivialized, as it could be someone you know – the girl who has the locker next to yours, the boy on your sports team, your best friend. Statistics Canada reports that teenagers and young adults aged 15 to 24 experience the highest incidence of mental disorders of any age group in Canada. With this in mind, Kalamaka Secondary School’s theatrical production class has set out to bring awareness around the issues of mental health and illness in high school-aged kids. They are about to present an originally written play, scripted by Kal drama teacher Shon Thomas, called The Inside Club at the school’s Apple Box Theatre. “The students/actors chose this script because they wanted to do something that mattered, something that could help someone, and something to begin a conversation,” said Thomas. “This is a campaign to remove the stigma of mental illness. People are keen to talk about other people, but not themselves. Instead of out there, it’s in here.” The show features two rotating casts that, although the characters
and the script remain the same, manage to make each show quite different, added Thomas. “The class is composed of students from Grade 9 through 12 all of whom not only populate the stage, but are responsible for all the technical aspects as well, from the set and costumes to the lights and sounds.” The play has already made an impression on the students involved in it. “To me, it makes me aware of the people around me that may be going through this,” said Jensen Huggins, who plays Jacob, a hypochondriac who thinks he has cancer. Jacob is one of the young people in the play who are brought together in a peer therapy group called The Inside Club. All the students in the group have some sort of mental illness or disorder – from anorexia, to bipolar and alcoholism, to anger issues, and anxiety. Their confessions, observations and glimpses into their psychosis and lived experiences paint the narratives, said Thomas. “It is not sugar-coated. The language and imagery in the play reflects the emotional reality of the characters. Most of the characters are looking at their most serious episodes of mental illness in the rear view mirror and orchestrating how to cope best with life as it continues,” he said. Described as a serious play with some harsh depictions, The Inside

Kalamalka secondary school students Jensen Huggins, left, alya Winston and maya Fehr enact a scene from The Inside Club. the play, which speaks to teens about mental illness, opens at the school’s apple Box theatre may 26. Club also offers some humour. “The students are focused on removing the stigmatizing reputation mental illness has by introducing the prevalence, the importance and the varying degrees of mental illness into the sphere of what is considered normal human conditions,” said Thomas. “Through compassion and understanding comes healing, tolerance and a loosening of the harsh policies of exclusion and hidden pain many people with mental illness must endure.” One young woman, Emily (played by Jayden Amies Loose and Bailey Williamson) comes to the group in the midst of a mental health crisis. Her parents have split, her anxiety is peaking, her life is in ruins and she has escaped from the hospital. Through their burgeoning interdependence and honest conversations, the group manages to come together to help Emily. Another group member is Mercy, played by Alya Winston, who suffers from schizophrenia
and is accompanied by her “hallucinatory sister” Taura, played by Maya Fehr. “I am paranoid of hospitals and am yelling at (Mercy) the whole time,” said Fehr. “We’ve had intense moments, but we also try to make light of it. Our goal is to get people talking about mental illness. If people walk away and get something out of it, that’s our goal reached.” Beyond the scope of typical high school theatre, the students have also invited mental health professionals and those affected by mental illness to speak. This not only helps the students depict their characters more honestly, but also to learn more about this pervasive societal reality, said Thomas. “A nurse came to talk to us about schizophrenia, which made it more realistic for me,” said Winston. “It was good to receive some first-hand knowledge.” While the students are interested in bringing attention to mental illness, they are also bringing
attention to the stretched resources available to youth in Vernon such as school counselors, the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), North Okanagan Youth and Family Services and the Ministry of Children and Family Development, said Thomas. “Some services (have) current intake wait lists longer than six months,” he said. “Six months is a long time for a teen in crisis. There needs to be more help readily available. There needs to be more awareness and support in our general population.” The students will also be working with the CMHA to help promote its Ride Don’t Hide campaign. The community bike ride, to raise awareness and funds for the CMHA’s programs and services, takes place in Coldstream June 21. Kalamalka Secondary’s presentation of The Inside Club takes place at the school’s Apple Box Theatre, May 26 to June 6 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the school office or call (250) 545-1396.
Community Dental Access Centre hosts fourth annual Tunes for Teeth Morning Star Staff
There would be no tunes without teeth. For the fourth year, the Community Dental Access Centre (CDAC) is holding its benefit concert Tunes for Teeth, Friday at Vernon Alliance Church. Approximately 30 per cent of Okanagan residents cannot afford basic dentistry, and that’s where the CDAC can help. Since opening its doors two years ago on 31st Avenue in downtown Vernon, the CDAC has seen more than 2,250 patient visits from low income residents in the North Okanagan, with approximately 4,900 hours
of volunteer time donated by members of the community, including dental professional, said CDAC board president Vic Lepp. “These visits have provided much needed dental care for those who could not otherwise afford it. Our annual Tunes for Teeth helps provide funds for these services,” he said, adding, “It is costly to operate a dental clinic. Insurance and reduced-rate client fees only cover a part of our operational costs, the rest must be raised through volunteerism, grants and donations.” By offering urgent care, the CDAC can help people suffering from dental pain
quickly and improve their overall health. “Uncontrolled dental disease leads to tooth loss, gum disease and worse – systemic infections,” said Lepp. “Dental abscesses can be very dangerous where oral infection can spread into the bone around the tooth, as well as attack other vital organs. The result can be very costly to the medical system.” All proceeds from Tunes for Teeth 4 go directly to support the CDAC. Folks attending can also hear some incredible tunes by three popular local bands. No strangers to the Okanagan, Cod Gone
Wild is a Celtic inspired band focused on giving traditional music a modern edge, while The Creeks will combine three acoustic guitars and vocal harmonies. Also on the bill are the boogie woogie rockin’ blues-jazz stylings of The Keys. A silent auction will also be held in conjunction with the concert, with doors opening to Vernon Alliance Friday at 6 p.m. and music starting at 7 p.m. Tickets for Tunes for Teeth 4 are $30 each, available at the Ticket Seller box office. Call 250-549-7469 or order online at www.ticketseller.ca.

MacKenzie Camp has some exciting news. Lana O’Brien, a well-known drama teacher in the Vernon School District, has been hired to take the reins for the 2015 camping season. O’Brien has been a longtime volunteer at the camp. For the last several years she has been the resource person for its week-long drama camp. “The board was thrilled that Lana agreed to join us for the full summer this year,” said Lorraine Powell, co-chair of the MacKenzie Camp Society board. “Lana is such a vibrant, creative person and with her vast experience as a teacher and parent, we know she will be perfect for the job.” Although she is in the middle of Romeo and Juliet, Seaton’s spring theatre production, O’Brien is excited for the coming summer, too. “I love this camp. It is too bad that there are so few remaining wilderness camps. It is such a vital part of a healthy childhood for kids to get an

I just want to maintain its excellence and embellish with my creativity where I can.” The camp, located 35 km east of Enderby on the shores of Mabel Lake, has been in operation for 88 years. It is

just about to open its doors for another summer of camping. A crew of volunteers was on site in April, cleaning the grounds and buildings and doing minor repairs. The camp has also been the recipient of some equipment from Camp Hurlburt, the Vernon camp that recently closed its doors. “I guess that Trinity United Church felt that the equipment that had been purchased for use by campers should continue to be used for that same
purpose,” said Powell. “They donated a number of canoes and kayaks to us, as well as a small zodiac and some kitchen equipment. So things are really looking up for MacKenzie this year. “Between these donations and hiring Lana, I am expecting this to be a banner year.” Camps run from the beginning of July to mid-August. Registrations are still being accepted on the camp’s website, mackenziecamp.ca.

in your salads but some people might be allergic to them. Grasshoppers are very difficult to control, especially where they come in from surrounding fields, but this spray will help: Grind together two to four hot peppers, one mild green pepper, one small onion and add one quart (one liter) of water. Let stand 24 hours and strain. This mixture is also good against aphids. The little yellow flower buttercup is capable of raising blisters if children bite the stems and leaves. The garden monkshood (Aconite) is even more dangerous, being poisonous in all its parts, while other members of this family which are more or less poisonous are delphinium, columbine and peonies. They are beautiful, but grow them with care. We all are familiar with the nitrogenfixing traits of legumes which draw nitrogen from the air and “fix” it on their roots. Actually there are many plants which get only about five per cent of their nourishment directly from the soil. After a thunderstorm, the plants, particularly grass, look greener as a result of the electrically-charged air which frees its 78 per cent nitrogen content in a water-soluble form. Rain and lightning are fertilizing agents. Each time lightning strikes
the earth large amounts of nitrogen are charged into the ground. Rain also brings nitrogen in some areas as much as 20 pounds (nine kg) per acre annually. Sulphur comes down with the rain and rain water also contains carbonic acid. Snow furnishes not only nitrogen but phosphorus and other minerals. Even fog contributes to the soil’s fertility, especially along the seacoast where it brings in large quantities of iodine, nitrogen and chlorine. Dust, though sometimes disagreable, has its good points too, containing minerals, organic matter and beneficial organisms often in substantial quantities essential to plant growth. Dust may be carried for very long distances, even being held suspended for long periods in the upper atmosphere to be washed down eventually by rain. Many believe that dust is one of the most significant factors in restoring minerals to the exhausted soil and that it also contains bacteria important to healthy soil life. (Now I know why my plants grow so well in the house. I will look at dust in a different way.) This Saturday will be my last plant sale at my house for the season. I have a few plants left and some young fig trees. For more information: 250-558-4556 or plantlady1@shaw.ca

Driver injured in rural Lumby ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A single-vehicle accident in rural Lumby Monday sent the lone occupant to hospital. Ambulance services requested RCMP attend the rollover in the 4300 block of Highway 6 at 5:45 a.m. “There was dense fog in the area at the time, and the driver was trapped
in his pickup,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The Lumby Fire Department attended, removed the hood of the truck and was able to get the 20-yearold driver out of the vehicle. The man was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with injuries to his leg.

Kalavida Surf Shop kicks off the water season with the Spring Swing SUP Jam Saturday at Kal Beach in Coldstream.
Paddlers hit the beach Morning Star Staff
To kick off a new season on the water, Kalavida is hosting the Spring Swing SUP Jam Saturday at Kal Beach. “It’s a jam-packed day full of events for both adults and kids including a free SUP demo, youth paddle, recreational race and plenty of that laid back Okanagan vibe,” said organizer Kevin O’Brien, of Kalavida Surf Shop. Joining the crew at Kalavida will be Lina Augaitis, the current world champion and four-time Queen of Kalamalka who will share her experience for the skill clinics and youth paddle. For the kids, they’ll get a chance to learn a few new tricks and find out more about Kalavida’s new youth SUP program at the same time. It’s a great chance to rub shoulders with one of the sports top athletes and personalities The Spring Swing SUP race includes recreational and competitive distances for beginners and experienced paddlers at the north end of the Kalamalka Lake. In calm conditions, the race will be staged between Kal Beach and the Bishop Wild Bird Sanctuary. But
if the winds of spring rise, the race will be from Kekuli Park back to Kal Beach. For the general public, there are free SUP demos where everyone can try out the sport and test out a wide range of boards and equipment. In addition to recreational and performance boards, this year’s demo will include a chance to try out surf-style SUP boards for those interested in the surfing side of the sport. The Spring SUP Swing serves as a primer for Kalavida’s wide range of events from May to September each year. The new youth SUP program is set to launch in June, along with a weekly race series and the popular Wahine Wednesday (women’s night). The sixth annual Kalamalka Classic SUP Festival runs Sept. 5 and 6. As part of an ongoing commitment to help protect the environment and Kalamalka Lake, partial proceeds will be donated to the Society for the Protection of Kalamalka Lake. You can register at Kalavida and get all of the details about its events at www. kalavidasurfshop.com. For more information, call 778475-5808.

Q A
Do you recommend using a Roomba to vacuum a carpet?
In recent years the Roomba vacuum has become an increasingly popular tool to clean your home. It’s so convenient – just turn it on and forget it! It does all the vacuuming for you even in those hard to reach places and then returns to base to recharge…all by itself! Unfortunately, I do not recommend using them on your carpet. They do not use suction but simply sweep the debris off the surface leaving a lot of fine dust and grit to accumulate into the deep recesses of your carpet’s pile. It’s out of sight, but in time, without proper vacuuming the carpet will become even more soiled and contaminated with particulates. Another concern is that the spinning edge brush has a hard nub that will cause pile distortion along the edge and in the corners on some carpets. It can cause permanent damage. Sometimes, it takes effort to maintain an investment and carpeting is an expensive investment that needs proper care to ensure a long life. Vacuuming with a good quality vacuum and regular cleaning with Oxy-Dry® will enable your carpet to maintain its beauty and comfort for years to come. Call Oxy-Dry® for a deep clean that dries in 30-60 minutes. It’s your FRESH choice...naturally!
Q: A:
We want to sell our home, what would you recommend we do next?
1) The first thing you should do is to be pre approved for a new mortgage if you are buying another home to make sure that your plan will meet your financial situation. 2) Find out what the balance of your mortgage currently is, and make sure to ask the penalty amount. Is your mortgage portable to a new home? Many Lenders no longer offer portability to a new home or the ability to increase your mortgage and using a ‘blend’ of your current interest rate. 3) Find out how your penalty is being calculated and if lower interest rates will have an effect on the penalty to break the mortgage. With the lower mortgage rates many are surprised to see their penalty has increased substantially from what they thought the amount would be. 4) Consult a Realtor to see what the market value of your home and what the costs associated to selling your home will be. This is a good time to revisit your pre approval, as you now have the financial numbers to make the decision to sell your home. 5) Once the home is listed for sale and an offer is presented, do not forget to revisit step 2, the penalty can change from the time you first decided to sell your home if your Lender uses a formula to have you pay for any lost interest based upon their posted rate of interest.

When I want to see a house do I just call whatever Realtor is written on the sign?
Not so fast….you are far better served if you first find a great REALTOR® to be your ally before looking at homes! Fine question from my colleague, Steve Daschuk. With our multiple listing system your REALTOR® can show you any home, regardless of whose listing it is; they can even show you private homes (with cooperating sellers). Why tell your story to 10 different REALTORS®? Having a REALTOR® goes beyond just the sale process; a great one will be available to consult on all your real estate needs and questions before, during and after a sale. A great one will have built a respected rapport with other area REALTORS®. Look for an ally that is honourable, skilled, experienced and enjoyable. Once you have a great professional, stay faithful. A great REALTOR® will more than earn their keep and will remain a trusted ally for ages. What do you want to “ASK a REALTOR® ?” Send me an email!

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the questions above, you should mention this to your pharmacist or doctor. COPD is a long-term condition with no cure (yet), but you can relieve some symptoms and prevent or slow the progression of the condition. If you, a friend or family member has COPD, your Remedy’sRx pharmacist offers: Checking of inhaler and device technique to optimize the benefits of your medications. Medication review consultations to check for items which may aggravate the condition Remedy’sRx pharmacists with specializations can also help with: Vaccinations to prevent lung infections, such as the flu and pneumonia and stop smoking consultations. Talk with your Remedy’sRx pharmacist about your lungs – it will be a breath of fresh air! Sterling Centre

Q:
I have one or two small cracks in my basement wall. During the wetter seasons of the year I have water coming through the cracks into my basement. What can I do to fix it? You didn’t say how old your home was or where it was located. You didn’t say if the cracks were horizontal or vertical. I will assume that they are vertical or slightly diagonal cracks, most likely run from the top of the wall almost to the bottom, & are slightly wider at the top than the bottom.If your house was built in the 70’s or newer it is most likely tarred on the outside of the basement walls below grade, so the fix will be a little easier. If your home is older than that the fix could be a little more involved. If the cracks are horizontal or fairly large & there are signs of lateral movement, then the repair gets more involved & could require the input of a structural engineer. So let’s go back to the simplest fix. There are a number of products out there that claim they can fix the problem from inside the basement & they may; however I feel that that is a temporary fix. The best solution is to dig down on the outside of the home where the crack is, right down to the footings. Clean the crack & the area around it thoroughly. Seal the crack with a good concrete caulking & then tar the caulking and either side of the crack with a good tar sealant. Then add a fiber mesh to the tarred area, about 1 inch thick & about 16 inches wide. Install the mesh from grade level right down to the footings. Then back fill. The idea is to seal the crack & then install a fiber drainage system so that any water that comes in contact with the crack will be directed down to the footing where it will enter the perimeter drainage system & removed from the home.This type of fix will ensure that the crack will most likely never leak again. Remember, when in doubt always ask an expert.

Canadian Lung Health Test Smokers and former smokers are at risk of developing COPD. COPD is short for “Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease”, and it’s the new name for emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Some non-smokers can also get COPD. If you are over 40 and smoke or used to smoke, you are at risk for having COPD. Take this quick test to screen for symptoms: Do you cough regularly? Do you cough up phlegm regularly? Do even simple chores make you short of breath? Do you wheeze when you exert yourself (exercise, go up stairs)? Do you get many colds, and do your colds usually last longer than your friends’ colds?

A Breath of Fresh Air Our lungs are pretty special. They bring air in and out of our bodies for our entire life without our even thinking about it. Our lungs are good to us and we should always take care of them, including looking out for diseases that can affect the lungs like asthma and chronic obstructive lung disease.

Lads clip Legends for 35+ title KEVIN MITCHELL
Sports Editor
They call themselves “The Rookie Boys” of the Calgary Lads Soccer Club. And they merged with some rivals on the Victoria Day Weekend for glory in the men’s 35+ division at the 36th Vernon National Oldtimers Soccer Tournament. The Lads shaded LWO Legends of Salmon Arm 2-1 (4-3) in penalty kicks in an entertaining final Monday afternoon at MacDonald Park. “We’re actually from two clubs,” said playing-coach Chris McKenzie. “We play against each other in the indoor league. So, we’re foes in Calgary and friends in Vernon. This was a really fun tournament.” Paul Selway buried the winner in PKs as the Lads pocketed $500 in expense money. Jeremy Shivers, John McCormick and Joe Nizetic also converted from the spot. Meddhi Mourali connected with a spectacular inswinging corner during regulation. David Knight tallied in regulation for the Legends. “They’re (Lads) a good team,” said LWO manager Al Walthers. It wasn’t a game where we said, ‘Should have, could have.’ They deserved the win.” Calgary battled Prince George to a scoreless draw in their Saturday round-robin opener and then shut down Aldergrove 6-0 and toppled PoCo Loco 2-0. PoCo Loco, also known as “The Beer Garden Junkies”, received the prestigious George Stein Triple S Award for superior sportsmanship, skill and support. LWO blanked the Calgary Gunners 3-0, clipped Edmonton Arsenal 1-0 and grounded Football Club Bob Ross of Vernon 2-0. The Legends collected $300, while Arsenal took $200 for third place in the field of eight. Mission FC – recognized for being in the tournament for 35 years – took the men’s 40+ category with a 2-0 win over Calgary United Monday afternoon. Mission reached the final of the four-team group by edging Surrey United 1-0, doubling Calgsary Blackstars 4-2 and icing Calgary United 6-2.
The Pacific 96ers of Surrey ruled the five-team men’s 45+ division round-robin format with 36 points on four wins. The 96ers brushed back Calgary United 2-1, dispatched the Southside Rangers of Calgary 3-1, stopped the Calgary Storm 3-1 and ambushed Old Growth FC of North Vancouver 6-0. The Rangers finished second and Old Growth third. Coquitlam 50T Lickas bottled up Kamloops Piva Financial 4-2 in the men’s 50+ final Monday afternoon. There were 10 teams in the division. Nick Moreni, Adrian Crabtree, Dave Blue, who finished the tourney with eight snipes, and Craig Fotheringham handled the Coquitlam attack. “We came here in 2010 so this is our second year,” said Lickas’ manager Chris Williamson. “Lots of really hard work, no bitching and lots of commitment helped us this weekend. And staying at Predator Ridge and the bus (decorated with Vernon, 2015 on the side) helped. And so did our trainer, Keith Johnston, from the New Westminster (Senior A lacrosse) Salmonbellies. He made magic for the guys. He was Lazareth for some of the guys.” The fun-loving Lickas went 20-2-2 in the Masters Over 50 winter season. The Lickas defeated the North Okanagan United FC 50s 4-2 in their Saturday opener and then clipped FC Piast of Vancouver 1-0 and blasted the Calgary Oldbhoys 5-0. Peace Arch of White Rock took third place with a 2-1 victory over North Okanagan United.

Reign sweep tourney crown KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Third in the open class at the Alberta Indoor Soccer Championships, the Calgary Reign FC appear poised for some outdoor glory as well. The Reign, formerly known as the Tsunami Blues, registered a threepeat at the 36th annual Vernon National Oldtimers Soccer Tournament by grounding the Edmonton Grasshoppers 6-0 in the ladies 35+ division final Monday afternoon at MacDonald Park. Liz Kutos and Serena Kerekes, each with deuces, Keltey McColl and Tiff Chester handled the Reign attack with Lee Greico-Savoy posting the shutout. Calgary earned $500 in expense money, while the Grasshoppers pocketed $300. “We were able to move the ball around and up the field and pot some goals when we needed them; this is why we come here, to get ready for the outdoor season,” said Reign defender Wendy Lumby, 48, who represented Great Britain in downhill skiing at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. The Vernon tourney served as preparation for Greico-Savoy, Jake Hertlein and Michelle Phillips, who will compete in the World Police and Fire Games, June 26-July 5, in Fairfax, Va. There will be 12,000 athletes from 70 countries in Virginia. The Reign jumpstarted their offence by ambushing the Okanagan FC of Penticton 8-0 Saturday morning at Marshall Field.

U16 girls collect Slurpee Cup Morning Star Staff
Slurpees were a popular beverage in Kamloops over the long weekend, as a number of Vernon youth soccer teams participated in the 37th annual Slurpee Cup tournament. Vernon United U16 girls played up in the U17-18 division and came away as co-champions, drawing Terrace 1-1 in the final game (no shootout). Sheyna Camalush and Maddie Catt were United’s MVPs with Catt scoring Vernon’s goal on a free kick. “The girls were awesome, a solid team effort throughout the weekend,” said United coach Michelle Hughes. The Vernon United Tolko U11 Girls MSE Precast Blues were undefeated. Game 1 saw the Blues meet the Kelowna Falcons for the third time this season. After a loss on their first meeting and a tie on their second, the Blues were thrilled with a 3-1 win. Sarah Claeys led the scoring with two goals and an assist. MVP Kaiden Sherwood had a superb goal and an assist. Keira Dahl and Mackenzie Miller excelled throughout the game. The second game of the three-day tournament was against the Royal City Reign from New Westminster, which fell 2-0 to United. Keeper Jordyn Kisilevich had her first of two shutouts for the tour-

ney, with her team providing exceptional defensive play. The Blues scored once per half, with Mia Hyer setting up a beautiful goal by Sherwood in the first, and Georgia Wenger scoring an unassisted goal in the second. Mya Robinson was given the nod as game MVP. Game 3 was, according to coach Jason Sherwood, the Blues’ best game of the season to date, a 2-1 win over Kamloops White, who opened the scoring early in the match. Robinson had a stunning goal to open the second half; Camryn Beacom and Claeys set her up for a one-timer. Beacom again showed her smart game sense by setting up Sherwood for the final goal. Kendall McKinnon and Madison Bergman played their roles well. Sophie Dennis took the MVP award. The fourth and final game was played against OMYSA Royals, who fell 1-0 to United on a goal by Sherwood, set up by Beacom. Sierra Lockhhead was strong on defence, and Hyer showed excellent hustle and was given the final MVP award. Coach Jason Sherwood ended the tournament by distributing the medals to each player and thanking all the players for their hard work. “The team has really gelled over the past few weeks and is playing well on all parts of the field,” he said.
The Vernon United Tolko U11 Girls Protow Whites got off to a bit of a rocky start in their game against the Kelowna United Buckaroos, losing 8-1. Abbi Johnson scored a brilliant goal off of a pass from Kendra Grant for Protow, who received a stellar performance by game MVP Kaitlyn Budgen. The second match was a 3-1 win against Kamloops 2005 #1 with Ava Proctor starting in net. Early on, Jaya Chauhan had a shot on net from a corner, and then tons of pressure from the line of Brooklyn Kineshanko, Jorja Catt, and Olivia Collins resulted in Catt finally putting one in midway through the first half. Collins switched to goal in the second half. Game MVP Lily Lee finally got one past the Kamloops keeper late in the match, with help from Brooklyn Lewis and Nadia Nelson-Shah. Lee kept pounding away, and was ultimately able to get a goal off of a beautiful pass from Proctor just before the whistle. Game 3 was a 2-0 win over the Royal City Reign on two goals from Lee, one set up on a header by Katrina Winstanley, who switched to goal in the second half and made some fantastic saves. The Whites’ last game was a 5-0 loss against Kamloops United Orange.

Vees lose semi
Black Press Sports
The host Portage Terriers stopped the Carleton Place Canadians of Ottawa 5-2 in the Royal Bank Cup national Junior A hockey championship final Sunday. The Canadians, who lost the 2014 RBC Cup to the Yorkton Terriers in Vernon, reached the final by stopping the BCHL champion Penticton Vees 2-1 in double overtime Saturday. Jordan Larson buried a rebound over the pad of outstretched Vees’ goalie Hunter Miska after a Ryker Killins shot at 3:43 of double OT. It was Penticton forward Demico Hannoun’s third straight RBC tournament without a title. Hannoun had previous played for the Vipers and Surrey Eagles. “It hurts for our players. We played our asses off,” said Vees’ head coach/GM Fred Harbinson. “I thought we had a lot of chances to make it 2-0 and it didn’t happen. They made a play, they are a great team. We scored a goal in the first overtime, unfortunate quick whistle. We have seen that before. It wasn’t intentional. It’s one of those things that happens. They were able to make the last play.” Dakota Conroy’s shot from the slot appeared to win it for the Vees. The whistle was blown as Canadians’ goalie Guillaume Therien, down on his knees, had the puck slowly get past him. Therien made 36 saves. After a scoreless first period, in which the Vees were edged 9-8 in shots, Tyson

Jost gave the Vees a 1-0 lead in the second period. He put away a rebound from a Connor Chartier shot. That lead lasted until two minutes remained in the period when Stephen Baylis picked off a pass from Gabe Bast and skated into the zone before beating Miska with a wrister, high glove. Baylis was the main threat for the Canadians in overtime, but he couldn’t solve Miska. Harbinson said led by their captains, “each guy left it out there.” The Terriers become the first Manitoba team since 1974 to win the national title. They also became the first host team to win the RBC Cup since the Weyburn Red Wings in 2005.

Despite two stunning saves by Proctor, and brilliant defence from Grant, game MVP Catt and Winstanley, Kamloops was able to score early. Nadia Nelson-Shah was stellar on defence. The U17 Tolko Vernon United paid a heavy price for their third-place finish. Having already lost attacking midfielder Josh Gray for the season, Malcolm Wiens (broken collar bone) and Mees Geelkerken (broken arm) are now out for four to six weeks. In their first match United beat Terrace 1-0 on a late goal from Mika de Vin, who ran onto a Wiens through ball and rocketed a shot top left corner with only minutes left. Peter Hirschkorn, James Huntington, Wyatt Carter and Kenzel Aarts-Roman had strong games on defence. David Weir recorded the shutout. On Sunday morning, Vernon met Chilliwack Attack and recorded a 1-1 tie. Again it was de Vin who headed the ball into the net to give Vernon the lead. The Attacked pushed relentlessly and equalized on a controversial goal with only minutes left. Gavin Mason, Shey Townley, Owen Burnet and Elias Jensen had strong games in the midfield. United then lost 3-1 to New Westminster. Geelkerken scored from about six yards out after being set up by Finn Plummer. On Monday morning, Vernon met Kamloops in the bronze medal match and squeaked out a 1-0 win. Huntington scored off an Aarts-Roman corner kick to seal the match in the 22nd minute. Chase Petruk was a beast in the midfield. Geelkerken broke his arm with five minutes left after landing hard on the ground from a challenge. Vernon United U14 boys played some solid soccer but went winless in Kamloops. United opened with a 1-0 loss to the Kamloops Blaze, despite dominating and lost on what they called an “unlucky offside goal.” Jacob Baycroft was
game MVP. In their second match, the Westside Lakers earned a 1-0 decision. Shaun Boucher was MVP. Michael Lapp was MVP in Game 3, a scoreless draw against Prince Rupert FC. Keeper Ian Oliphant made some fabulous saves. Vernon lost 2-0 to the European Football School with MVP going to Ty Ogasawara. Vernon United U17/18 girls were also winless at the Slurpee Cup. Vernon fell 1-0 to Chilliwack (Jordynne Tomiak player of the game for United), lost 4-0 to Courtenay (Tara Smith POG), dropped a 5-0 decision to Kamloops (AJ Jakura POG) and finished the tournament with a scoreless draw against Calgary (Rielly Martian POG). The Tolko United U11B boys’ team had a loss and two draws. Game one on Saturday was a rematch with Kamloops after their loss on Mother’s Day. The boys battled hard but eventually succumbed 3-2. Landon Janke and Devin Bilodeau supplied goals and Jonah Kiernan was bold in net, fronted by Alex Kazimer, Justin Ruscheinsky and Colby McManaman. Kamloops selected Danny McLennan as MVP. Vernon then bowed 7-0 to Richmond with Janke in net for the first half and getting MVP. Kiernan shared the gloves with Fraser Christensen for the second half. On Sunday morning, United brought their winning attitudes and played a second Kamloops team to a 1-1 tie. Marcus Erho, Hayden Murphy and Cash Anderson constantly pushed Kamloops making for an exciting battle. Janke scored and Roan Ried earned MVP for the game. The final game of the tourney was planned for home field as both Vernon U11 boys teams were scheduled to meet Tuesday afternoon.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder TAKE ALL THREATS VERY SERIOUSLY
PAIN ISN’T THE ONLY THING KIDS WITH CROHN’S FEEL. Kids living with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis often face stigma and shame as they cope with painful, urgent and more frequent bowel movements. It’s time to make it stop.
crohnsandcolitis.ca
Kurt Vonnegut, an author who died in 2007, said, “The telling of jokes is an art of its own, and it always rises from some emotional threat. The best jokes are dangerous, and dangerous because they are in some way truthful.” When a bridge defender is threatening to do something dangerous to your contract, you should try to find a way to defend yourself. In this deal, South is in four hearts. West leads the spade jack. East wins with his ace and returns the spade two. How should declarer continue? West did not have the greatest one-spade overcall, because his suit was not
that robust. But it pays to bid spades. If you find a fit with your partner, the opponents have to go up to the next level to outbid you. Over two hearts, South might have rebid three notrump. Then North would have been in a quandary. With four trumps, it would be normal to choose the major-suit game. But the three low spades suggest no-trump because maybe East can get a spade ruff or two. How can three no-trump by South be defeated? In four hearts, South should realize that East is now out of spades. If East gains a ruff, that and the three missing aces will defeat the contract. The only way to avoid the spade
ruff is for South to take his three club tricks, discarding his last spade on the third. Then he can overruff East. Against three no-trump, if West leads the spade jack, East must win and shift to a diamond; not easy to find. Use the bidding to work out the distributions of the opponents’ hands.

Phyllis Jean Gibson
REID, Helen “Donna”
The family of Phyllis Gibson is saddened to announce her peaceful passing on April 19, 2015 in Calgary Alberta at the age of 85 years. Phyllis was born July 29, 1929 in Tisdale, Saskatchewan, the third of 9 children born to Margaret Jean (Armstrong) Lamb and Thomas Lamb. The pioneer family lived in Moose Lake and The Pas in Manitoba. Her childhood was related in stories of adventure, hard work and fun. Her marriage to Cal Gibson produced nine children who she claimed were her greatest accomplishments. Mom was most happy in the company of her family and never missed an opportunity to brag about each of her nine children, 22 grandchildren and 28 great grandchildren. Every house she lived in became her home decorated in her own unique style. Many people stopped outside her home in Enderby and commented on her beautiful yard. Mom loved to garden, can pickles and jams, cook for her family, decorate her spotless house and travel around in her car. She had a great sense of humour and loved to laugh and have fun with friends and family alike. She loved music and spent many hours reading and listening to music on her porch. After leaving The Pas, Manitoba she lived in Vernon, BC, Victoria BC, Red Deer, AB, Enderby, BC and finally in Calgary, AB. Phyllis will be sadly missed by her children – Barbara, Beverly (Robin), David (Connie), Tricia, Dennis (Shirley), Jennifer (Ken), Jeffrey (Denise), Conrad, Bruce, her grandchildren, great grandchildren, her brother Greg Lamb, numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and her many friends. She was pre-deceased by her parents and seven siblings.
Helen “Donna” Wilson Reid was born on July 3, 1930 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She passed away on May 14, 2015 in Vernon, British Columbia after a lengthy illness. Funeral services will be on Wednesday, May 20 at 4 pm at the Vernon Seventh-day Adventist Church. Interment will be at the Tuscoola Mountain Cemetery in Chetwynd, British Columbia. Donna was the beloved wife of the late Grant Keith Reid (1998); Loving mother of Douglas (Mary) Reid, Karen (David) Landry, Gayle (Gary) Moore, Catherine (Michael) Astleford, Roxanne (Roy) Tiller, Heather (Greg) Reid and Melodie Reid. Devoted grandmother to 24 and great grandmother to 25. She was expecting her first great-great grandchild in the fall. Donna is survived by her brother Murray and her sister-in-law Lena. She was pre-deceased by her sisters-in-law Joan, Gwen, Shirley and Betty and by her brothers-inlaw George, Tom, Jack and Homer. Donna was a member of the Vernon Seventh-day Adventist Church where she was active in music ministry until her recent illness. She was best known for her love of music, her devotion to her large family and for her devout Christian faith. Arrangements have been entrusted to Pleasant Valley Funeral Home, Phone: 250 542 4333.

1939 ~ 2015 On Tuesday May 12, 2015, Mom moved on quickly and painlessly at home just as she would have wanted. Her family includes our Dad, Don, the two of us, Charlotte (Roger) and Leslee and Mom’s pride and joy, her granddaughter Charlyn. Mom’s brother, Lawrence (Nora) and their kids Kelly and Trent were always in her thoughts. Brandy will miss their nightly rituals and the un-doglike meals that Mom would meticulously prepare for her. We would joke that Mom may as well have eaten them for her, too. Mom’s passions were family, cooking and sports. She kept unbelievable sports stats in her head and carefully and strategically chose her players in her hockey pools. Mom’s idea of a good time was her Tuesday “ladies’ night out� (by herself) which included a little spin around Walmart on the scooter and a little “casinoing�. Mom was widely known as the keeper of the archives. Her daily diary entries documented sport scores, the time of sunrise and sunset and the value of the Canadian dollar as well as any other memorable events. In keeping with Mom’s wishes, there will be no service.

ARTHRITIS
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. I 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 #1 NPN 80042283 again. Marie Ciraulo, 72, Oakland, CA. <Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without 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.

Yo-Yo Dieter drops 32 lbs and keeps it off! How Much Weight Have you Lost? I lost 32 lbs in just under 4 months. How did you gain your weight? I ALWAYS struggled with my weight and was forever on one diet or another… What was the final straw that made you start your weight loss journey? I was really looking for the right education when it came to understanding healthy weight loss. Most importantly for me, I wanted to be done with the dieting roller-coaster and find a program that guaranteed LONG TERM results. U Weight Loss Clinic did precisely that for me. My energy soared and I really started to LIVE the life I’d always imagined I could! How did you feel about seeking help for your weight? Truly, I was the poster girl for “Yo-Yo Diets”. That was extremely frustrating! I was ready for something that gave me long term results. U Weight Loss provided such a simple science based education that really required only a few life style tweaks to implement. The results were AMAZING! ANY BIG SURPRISES? Frankly, I was surprised I didn’t have to eat separate meals from the rest of my family. The UWL recipes actually IMPROVED the taste and quality of meals for my entire family! What made this program different than other plans you have tried? Unlike anything I had ever
tried, U Weight Loss promotes abundance, not restriction. The program is all about combining your favourite foods in such a way that they rev up your metabolism, balance your hormones and burn fat. What are your favorite meal plans? There are literally thousands to choose from but I love the yogurt parfaits, the cheesecake bites and the taco potatoes. How do you feel now? I feel amazing. I have gone from feeling sluggish, frumpy and shy to feeling energetic, outgoing and fabulous! Do you have any advice for anyone struggling with weight loss and health related challenges? Quite simply, U Weight Loss works. It’s a lifestyle that doesn’t get in the way of your life. I now work in the clinic as a coach and just LOVE my job. Every day, I witness men and women of all ages and sizes discovery the simple Science behind long term weight management …and I know EXACTLY how thrilled they feel!!
