Canada Day festivities barely spark support RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A bureaucratic process means regional cash is being pumped into Vernon’s Canada Day festivities. While only five of 13 board members voted to provide $2,000 to the Vernon Canada Day committee Wednesday, the motion succeeded because the city’s four representatives have the bulk of weighted votes on financial matters (Coldstream’s director also endorsed the expenditure). “It takes place in Polson Park but it’s a regional function and everyone is invited,” said Catherine Lord, Vernon director. However, those from other communities disagreed that their tax dollars should go to

“Vernon should provide for it.”

— Kevin Acton Vernon’s celebration. “For Canada Day in Vernon, Vernon should provide for it just as in Lumby, Lumby provides for it,” said Kevin Acton, village director. A similar response also came from Spallumcheen director Janice Brown.

“Our Armstrong-Spallumcheen people attend our park,” she said. Shirley Fowler, Armstrong director, pointed out that the funding request has come at the last minute two years in a row. “There’s less than a month to Canada Day,” she said. Lord countered the comments by clarifying that a volunteer committee organizes Canada Day in Vernon. “The city contributes a significant amount to it.” Opposition to the $2,000 came from the two electoral area directors in Greater Vernon. “I contribute to the BX-Swan Lake fireworks display (at Halloween),” said Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director.

RDNO has provided funding to the Canada Day event in Vernon over the years and the organizing committee has been rebuilding since the death of member Patrick Nicol, who was also RDNO chairperson, in 2014. “I understand the group has had troubles organizing but how long is long enough two years, three years, five years?” said Bob Fleming, BX-Swan Lake director. The District of Coldstream has just received a funding request for Canada Day in Polson Park but no decision has been made yet. It provided a grant in 2014. RDNO staff will bring back a report on possibly creating a funding service for Canada Day services in Vernon or region-wide.

NHL stars help families score support “It was packed all day outside,” said NOYFSS’ Jan Shumay. “I’m not sure what the exact numbers are but we sold more than 500 hot dogs. The weather was perfect and everybody had a lot of fun.” Added Francks: “We’re very pleased with the entire event.” The Friday night social was moved to the Vernon Golf and Country Club and included a dinner. “We know the meal was a big hit so next year we’ll be looking at moving things up to the next level,” said Shumay of the Fitness for Families Hockey Challenge. McLean told organizers he’d love to come back and vows to bring a couple of Canucks alumni with him. For the first time in the event’s history, the national anthem was sung before the all-star game. It was delivered beautifully by Vernon singing sensation Olivia Penalva. The event also handed out a Memory of Miles Award in honour of late Vernon Minor Hockey player Miles Wohlford, who died last summer in a boating accident, one month after playing in the Fitness for Families event. The award was presented to the child who raised the most pledges for the event, Charlie Swarz of Vernon. Wohlford’s parents, Todd Wohlford and Randi Lund, dropped the ceremonial puck prior to the all-star game.

irk McLean is a fan favourite on and off the hockey ice. Arguably one of the greatest goalies in Vancouver Canucks history, McLean – who helped lead the Canucks to within one win of the 1994 Stanley Cup championship – stole the show at the North Okanagan Youth and Family Services Society’s Fitness For Families Hockey Challenge at the Okanagan Training Rink. McLean was one of a number of current and former NHL players who captained a team for a day-long game Saturday. He played forward and helped the NHL celebrities, er, “edge” the Vernon Fire Rescue Services squad in an all-star game. “I think it was 13-1 for the NHL guys when they switched goalies,” laughed NOYFSS’ Dean Francks, one of the organizers of the weekend. But it was at the Friday night social where McLean took over to help the event raise a total of $33,700 for NOYFSS programs. Vernon’s Lyle Doucet, of the Electric Paper Company, known locally for his creative caricatures, drew up a print of McLean which, during the evening’s auction – conducted by longtime auctioneer Wayne Penner – was up to around $900. “That’s when McLean grabbed the mic,” smiled Francks. “He threw in two Canucks game tickets, then added watching the game with him in the Canucks alumni suite, which brought it to around $2,500. He then threw in a chance to take part in the morning skate and included a tour of the dressing room.” Vernon’s Rob Ellis ended up with the package for about $3,100. McLean also joined entertainer Robert Bricker for a rousing rendition of Journey’s smash hit Don’t Stop Believin’. Among the other pros taking part in the Saturday hockey event were Leland Irving, Jerred Smithson, Dean McAmmond, David Oliver, Brent Gilchrist and current Ottawa Senators star Curtis Lazar, who was captain

Unsure of what she wants to do, she plans to start in the arts program and figure the rest out as it happens. Halfway through the awards, Forrest gave a moving speech about sports in her life. She was struck by an impaired driver when she was 21, paralyzing her from the waist down. For a while she could only see the negative impacts of her injury, but then she found curling and turned all of her challenges into new opportunities: “Today is the beginning of the rest of my life.” And Brad Pitt could have walked in the room and no one would have noticed – everyone was fixated on Lazar

and his magnetic smile. Whenever Lazar presented an award, he had everyone’s attention. The latest NHL star to come from Vernon

took time to meet and greet plenty of athletes and gave a speech about how important hard work is.

The stars were out as Vernon’s best in athletics were recognized at the second annual Rotary North Okanagan Athletic Awards at the Best Western Vernon Lodge and Conference Centre Wednesday night. You know it’s an important night when Vernon hockey product and Ottawa Senator Curtis Lazar and twotime Paralympic curling champion Ina Forrest are hosting the party. Fulton alumni Cassandra Brown also made a guest apperance as the gold-medalist W.L. Seaton Jazz ensemble cranked out harmonic tunes. But this night was about the athletes and the schools they competed for. Vernon Secondary and Fulton hauled in the most trophies. The Panthers walked away with nine awards and the Maroons with seven. Fulton’s Tye Kitzman brought home the Most Outstanding Male Athlete for his dominance on the basketball court and his quarterback play. “This feels great, to work so hard for so long all through the years and it’s finally paying off,” said Kitzman, who will play for the Okanagan Sun this summer. Kitzman was named a first team all-star in six basketball tournaments and was named player of the game 11 times in tournaments and provincials. He was voted the all-star quarterback by the Interior Conference Football coaches and was the fifth-ranked passer in B.C. AA football. Jordan Korol was rewarded for her hard work on the VSS volleyball and basketball teams. Despite contracting mono right before her basketball provincials, she was still named Most Outstanding Female Athlete. “I was surprised when I won, I missed a lot of time becuase I was sick,” said Korol. “It felt very good to win

Directors apply for birthday funds RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Canada’s 150th birthday could pay big dividends for a cultural amenity. The Regional District of North Okanagan board voted Wednesday to apply for $100,000 from the federal Canada 150 community infrastructure grant program for a $200,000 upgrade of the Greater Vernon Museum. “There’s an opportunity to get 50-cent dollars,” said David Sewell, chief administrative officer. The funding, which would also come from the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee, would go towards shelving, mechanical and electrical work and a new roof on the museum. “There’s a significant prob-

lem there and because of global warming, we’re getting flash rains,” said director Brian Quiring of the roof. “Those are important artifacts in there. If someone is throwing money at us, let’s take the money.” The capital projects were identified after the Canadian Conservation Institute conducted an assessment of the museum. “Given that the museum facility is a centennial building, constructed in 1967, this is an appropriate project for this funding opportunity,” said Tannis Nelson, RDNO’s community development co-ordinator, in a report. “The museum roof has been on the capital budget program

RDNO will also seek a $150,000 Canada 150 grant for a $300,000 replacement of the artificial turf at the VantageOne

Soccer Centre. “There’s no question that this field needs replacing,” said director Bob Fleming. The turf was installed in the indoor facility in 2006 and its expected 10-year life expectancy will be reached in 2016.

Lazar drove home facts about how to carry yourself and to remember your teammates and where you came from. Fulton boys volleyball coach Richard Bedard was named Coach of the Year, Panthers football was named Most Outstanding Team and Jamie Pruckl of VSS won the Patrick Nicol Award for being the most outstanding booster to a team. Pruckl was ineligible for his senior basketball season after transferring from Kalamalka. He attended every practice, worked his tail off and acted as an assistant coach during games. Zac Kronbauer won Best All-Round Male Athlete for his work on the gridiron with the Panthers. He was named Conference Offensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season and the Provinical Offensive Player of the Year. Victoria Grahn of Charles Bloom Secondary won Best All-Round Female Athlete. The straight-A student plays volleyball, basketball, soccer and ultimate frisbee.

Drug suspects ordered extradited to U.S. MARTHA WICKETT

Black Press

Eight men have been ordered extradited to the United States in connection with drug trafficking offences that involved filling logs with marijuana in North O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap locations. A BC Supreme Court document regarding committal to the U.S. ordered Shane Donald Fraser, Todd Ian Ferguson, Daniel James Joinson, Darrell Romano, Robert Romano, Ivan Djuracic, Aaron Randolph Anderson and Jamie Daniel Nenasheff to be remanded in custody to await surrender to the U.S. The 68-page document describes a seven-month investigation in 2006 in which RCMP officers assigned to the “monitor room” listened to more than 200,000 “intercepts” from 14 identified targets. An overview of the evidence states that from March 2006 to November 2006, a criminal organization with members in Canada and the United States, dubbed by police the Fraser Organization, distributed hundreds of pounds of high-grade marijuana from B.C. to California. It describes how, on at least nine occasions between March and September 2006, hollowed-out logs were imported into the U.S. by an American citizen who had been convinced to set up a log home business in Southern California that eventually became a front for the distribution of pot. “Investigation revealed that none of the log truck drivers were aware they were transporting marijuana into the United States,” states the document. Deep Creek, Vernon, Kelowna and Armstrong are the O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap locations mentioned. Ivan Djuracic and

Darrell Romano’s address in 2007 was listed as Kelowna. Todd Ian Ferguson, Jamie Daniel Nenasheff and Aaron Randolph Anderson’s address in 2006 was listed as Vernon. Evidence also stated at least two of the suspects met in Vernon. Regarding trafficking, on Sept. 15, 2006, surveillance showed Darrell Romano met with a group of men on Industrial Way in Armstrong at the “workshop,” a Quonset hut accompanied by a portable sawmill, several peeled logs and a flat-deck truck. On Sept. 17, 2006, an orange flat-deck truck drove to a property on Firehall Frontage Road in Deep Creek. “Djuracic was driving,” states the document. “Slits were clearly visible, lengthwise, on some of the logs. Djuracic and R.

Romano unloaded the logs from the flat-deck truck onto an empty flat-deck semi trailer… and then returned to the workshop driving the orange flat-deck truck… “At 19:02 hours, Nenasheff removed four more logs from the quonset hut and loaded them onto the orange flat-deck truck. At 19:26 hours Djuracic departed in the loaded flat-deck truck. “At 19:51 hours the flat-deck truck returned to Firehall Property. The four logs were placed onto the semi trailer with the other six logs for a total of 10 logs. “Between 19:55 and 20:10 vehicles registered to Anderson, D. Romano and Nenasheff arrived at the Firehall Property. Several males, unidentified due to darkness, worked in the area of the flat-deck semi

trailer, then returned to the workshop before departing.” On Sept. 18, 2006, after the logs left the property on Firehall Frontage Road, continuous surveillance was carried out until they were unloaded in California on Sept. 22, 2006. In the warehouse in California, the court document states, 10 25-foot logs with hollowed-out compartments were found inside the warehouse. “Nearby three stacks of suspected marijuana were laid out on the floor. The packaging was clear and the marijuana was visible through the packaging.” The document states a total of 735.2 pounds of marijuana, including packaging,

was found. Although a trial has not yet taken place nor have the accused been found guilty, in her reasons for judgement regarding extradition, Madam Justice Watchuk found that, although there may be weaknesses in the evidence, “the totality of the evidence affords some evidence upon which a reasonable jury,

properly instructed, could convict each of the persons sought for conduct corresponding to the Canadian offences of conspiracy to traf-

fic in a controlled substance and trafficking in a controlled substance.” This means the evidence meets the standard for extradition.

he sports world is doing pretty good lately with their dream matchups; Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, FIFA officials and the F.B.I. and now the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers. In one corner you have the NBA’s MVP in Stephen Curry and in the other you have the league’s best player in LeBron James. James has played in 21 consecutive playoff series where he recorded a road victory. An incredible stat, second only to Michael Jordan with 24. If James is to get to 22, he is going to have to win in the toughest arena around. The Golden State Warriors went 39-2 at the Oracle in the regular season and have only dropped one playoff game at home. Their rabid fans are the league’s best (sorry Toronto), and they owned the regular season’s most efficient Tyler Lowey offence and defence. The Warriors are nearly impossible to close out; no lead is safe at the ROAR-cle. Their backcourt of Curry and Klay Thompson, the Splash Brothers, might be the best shooting duo we have ever seen. In Game 3 of Round 1 against the New Orleans Pelicans, the Warriors – led by Curry –overcame a 19-point deficit with six minutes remaining for a thrilling 123-119 overtime victory on the road. The problem is that the Cavs won’t throw anything at Golden State defensively that they haven’t already seen. James will probably switch onto the hotter Splash Bro late in games, but it’s the other 40 minutes that worries me. James can’t chase Curry around all game. He isn’t as quick as he used to be and at this stage of the playoffs it’s like he is playing with one foot on a banana peel. To be fair, the Cavs have really cranked up their defence this post season. They are holding opponents to shooting 41.2 per cent from the field and a playoff best 28.1 per cent from three. An intriguing stat considering the Dubs’ best weapon is being knock-down from threesville. The Cavs are holding teams to the lowest points per game at 92.6. With their prized offseason acquisition Kevin Love out with a sepa-

AT RANDOM

rated shoulder, Canadian kid Tristan Thompson has been like Shrek on adderall after being inserted into the starting lineup. He will be a big factor again as the Warriors were a middleof-the-pack defensive rebounding team in the regular season and the postseason. Thompson was among the league’s best offensive rebounder in the regular season. The Warriors’ head coach and NBA coach of the year Steve Kerr has already said they aren’t planning on double-teaming at the King. The Warriors are going to back up and let James shoot it and force someone else to beat them. James has been denting rims all playoffs. He’s shooting a miserable 17.6 per cent from the land beyond in the Eastern Finals. That’s an awful number even for a men’s league game. He has been less effective the further he is away from the basket. The Warriors have the ability to throw multiple upper-echelon defenders at James with Draymond Green, Harrison Barnes and Andre Iguodala. James is going to need help; he is going to need Kyrie Irving’s leg to be healthy and maybe J.R. Smith to steal another game. Regardless of who guards James, the Warriors are restaurant-quality great and an all-time team. They finished the regular season with the sixth best record all-time, 67-15, one win better than James’ best season in Miami in 2012-13. Their 10.1 point differential was the highest in the league. Out of eight previous teams with a differential over 10, just the 197172 Milwaukee Bucks failed to win the title. The Warriors have greater depth, they’re healthier and the better coach. This will be the best team James has ever faced in the finals. With all that being said, I’m still going with No. 23. This is why he came back to Cleveland. The King is no idiot, he can do math. He realizes in the post-Jordan world, all people care about are how many rings you own. He knows that Peyton Manning, one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, isn’t the greatest of all time because of his 1-3 record in the Super Bowl. Currently 2-3 in the finals, James does not want to see his record fall two series below .500. He has the ability to flip on kill-mode better than anyone else and carry the Cavs to victory. This series might remain on my PVR forever. I’ll bet a round of wings at the Longhorn on the King and his cavalry in six.

It was no surprise Wednesday that most Regional District of North Okanagan directors didn’t want to fund Canada Day celebrations in Vernon’s Polson Park. After all, there are also July 1 festivities in Armstrong, Enderby and Lumby and those respective jurisdictions direct finances towards those activities attended by their citizens. However, what was disappointing was the push-back to contribute $2,000 to the Polson Park event from the two electoral areas in Greater Vernon. “I contribute to the BX-Swan Lake fireworks display (at Halloween),” said Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director. That may be the case, and Macnabb deserves praise for supporting the fireworks, but Macnabb must consider that a significant number of his residents, and particularly young families, take part in the Canada Day celebrations in Polson Park. Bob Fleming, BX-Swan Lake director, questioned why taxpayers are putting money towards the event but consider that Canada Day is organized by volunteers and what price do we put on celebrating our love of country? Isn’t something that brings residents together in a positive manner something that should be supported? It should also be pointed out that the electoral areas’ portion of the $2,000 is minor given that Vernon will pick up about 65 per cent of the tab and there will be a financial contribution from Coldstream and the other RDNO jurisdictions (the motion passed in a weighted vote). In the end, Greater Vernon is made up of four jurisdictions, each with their distinct qualities. But when it comes to some matters, we are one overall community and that includes Canada Day. Hopefully the electoral area directors will decide to wave the flag next year.

Laundry service must remain

egarding the laundry service being contracted out. The people of Vernon have always supported the hospital and we have many full-time and part-time employees that support the community. Vernon Jubilee Hospital has all new equipment and they have already tried shipping the laundry elsewhere and it just didn't work. Is this all going to waste again? The trucking of wet laundry will cost more than any gain that will be had from lower wages. The hospital and all of the other facilities that use the laundry will be out of critical clothes and linen when they need them most. They will have to purchase many more sets of laundry to cover the down time. I don't know how anyone can justify the shipping of 10,000 pounds a day of laundry when the system we have works so well. I call on all of the people of Vernon to protest this move quickly before it comes about. There will be disastrous results if this occurs. They say we have to look at the big picture but that's bull. The government is using false reasons for this move. It will not benefit the local hospital and it will not save anyone's job. Don Mills A RESPONSE An issue of The Morning Star carried an article titled “Ormsby residence gone." The purpose of this letter is to inform the readers of the historic value of the house, now destroyed by a bulldozer, as it was one of the oldest homes in the Coldstream. The bungalow-type, two storey home was originally built for a Coldstream fruit rancher and later real estate promoter, Fremont B. Cossitt, a native of Brockville Ont., in 1909. Cossitt had engaged Robert Bell, of the Vernon firm Bell and Constant, to design and build the home, which became known as Cossitt’s Happy Ranch. Nearby was the Glossop House, enlarged and renovated in 1913, and behind that, the distinctive Buchanan House, with its prominent multiple chimneys. The Buchanan House became the Mackie Lake House and the Glossop House, later the home of Art and Agnes Sovereign and their family, is now in Sovereign Park. Behind the Buchanan House was its twin, the OrchardLeigh Lodge, which burned down in 1960. This information is from Margaret Ormsby’s history of Coldstream, Coldstream Nulli Secundus. The Ormsby family had purchased and lived in the Cossitt’s home. In the 51st Report of the Okanagan Historical Society, the hope is expressed that Vernon would have the foresight to acquire Dr. Ormsby’s home on the shore of Kalamalka Lake as a heritage site. “A place,” wrote the author, “that has been so intimately associated with such an outstanding Canadian should not be allowed to be altered

or destroyed but should be preserved for future generations.” It is apparent that some people don’t care for our culture and our history, they just want our lakeshore. And we, even the grandchildren of our pioneers, are all too willing to sell it to them. V.E. (Vivian) Merchant HEALTH CARE I am willing to bet Terry Lake was very happy to find out that Vernon is soon to get a new Timmies! Happy, indeed, as all of the hospital workers that will lose their jobs from his ill-conceived monetary policies, can get a job pushing coffee now!. In his mind, everyone can exist on B.C.'s minimum wage. Christy Clark explains we live in such a wonderful province we can afford to get rid of higherpaying jobs for low-paying, menial jobs, while the extra cash flows to her administrative friends in the Legislature. It's too bad they haven't seen the lessons the voters of Alberta gave to the Conservatives recently. Robert Johnston LIGHT NEEDED It is most likely business would increase for the Stickle Road area if a traffic light system is installed. Everyone would sooner or later benefit. Left-turns are risky unless they are controlled by lights, particularly on a four-lane highway. So keep trying to convince the authorities involved. P. Drought

DANGEROUS ROADS We have several roads that have dangerous intersections with Highway 97. Those that come to my immediate thought are Birnie Road by the landfill, Stickle Road, Bailey Road (Predator Ridge turnoff) and Meadowlark Road. In order to turn safely at these intersections, I feel we need a lane like the one at the Vernon Square mall. When you turn left, you only have to cross the oncoming traffic from the north and then you are in a safe zone. You can now check the traffic from the south and merge when it is safe to do so. I also feel that these intersections require longer right-turn merging lanes so you can see the approaching traffic better. Something similar to the one at Swan Lake Nurseryland but maybe not quite as long. There you can see the highway traffic when you try to merge and the traffic can give you the room you need to get on to the highway. Fred Wernicke THANK YOU This is a response to a letter from Frank Gurak Racing through the paper trying to get my lists in order for a shopping errand, I happened upon your lovely letter in the paper. The surprise twist at the end really filled me with joy. It was so unexpected. Thank you for sharing. Is it not amazing just how far reaching an act of kindness can spread? Thanks to everyone involved. You made my day. Patti Duggan

Carol Mullen, who lists herself and her family as “farmers, raising sheep for market lamb and providing organic eggs to locals,” has penned a five-page letter to Spallumcheen council, the ministries of environment, agriculture and health, opposition MLAs and stakeholders. She states there has been “little if no progress toward obtaining a solution to the (do not drink water) problem.” Mullen said Interior Health informed her family in the spring of 2014 of the do not drink advisory. “We still have not received anything which states our water is safe to drink,” said Mullen, adding that IHA suggested her family “dig a deeper well in order to perhaps obtain water from the deeper aquifer which lies under the Hullcar area and to test our water on a regular basis.” “All things that would be a financial burden on our family,” said Mullen, adding all she’s been told is that the water is unsafe due to high nitrate levels. Like the Steele Springs Water District in Spallumcheen, which also has water issues due to high nitrate levels, Mullen believes a large dairy farm operation is responsible. Nitrate levels, Mullen wrote, have gone from zero to 20 parts per million (ppm) since the dairy farm began operations. She blames spraying of effluent onto fields directly above the Hullcar aquifer for the nitrate levels. What upsets Mullen is that, according to her, all government agencies have washed their hands of the issue, saying it’s not under their jurisdiction. “The ministry of environment said it was under the ministry of agriculture, ministry of agriculture said it was under the Farm Practices Act, ministry of health said it was under ministry of agriculture,” said Mullen. “I wonder what needs to happen in order for government to do the jobs they are being paid to do? Do people need to get sick. Does our valley need to die? How would you feel if this was happening in our neighbourhood?” In her letter, Mullen called for the organizations to place a moratorium on spraying of effluent on any land above their aquifer to “stop polluting our only water source, at least until the source is identified and correct measures put in place to insure no further contamination of our ground water is occurring.” The Township of Spallumcheen, in response to a request from the Steele Springs Water District, threw its support behind calling for a moratorium on spraying effluent in that area. A copy of their letter to Steele Springs will be sent to Mullen. In a separate letter to council, dated May 19, Interior Health had “no new information to report” regarding the high nitrate levels in the Hullcar aquifer.

Village reveals expenses richard rolke Morning Star Staff

A natural disaster is being targeted for a hike to employee salaries in Lumby. The village has released its financial statements for 2014 and it indicates that five employees earned more than $75,000. “Those were due to overtime costs with flooding,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. Remuneration and expenses paid out for the five employees was $454,433, with the cost for all village employees being $1.12 million. Leading the pack was chief administrative officer Tom Kadla with a salary of $108,765 and expenses of $14,114. He was followed by Jeremy

The Village of Lumby has released financial information for council and staff for 2014. Sundin, director of finance, with a wage of $89,398 and expenses of $3,574. Acton insists that the village must pay a certain wage level if it’s to attract and retain staff with the necessary skills. “We are very well looked after for a reasonable wage,” he said.

Financial statements have also been released for council members in 2014. Acton had remuneration of $13,035 and expenses of $6,998. “The expenses are mostly for attending the Union of B.C. Municipalities and Southern Interior Local Government

Association conferences and I’m taking a number of courses to improve my leadership skills,” he said. “Going to these conferences and doing the community’s business is mandatory.” Councillors Nick Hodge, Lori Mindnich and Randal Ostafichuk received a salary of $6,906 for serving an entire calendar year, while Jo Anne Fisher, who did not seek reelection, received $6,640 and Julie Pilon, who was elected in November, got $265. In terms of expenses, there was $562 for Fisher, $3,551 for Hodge, $5,769 for Mindnich, $5,790 for Ostafichuk and $1,207 for Pilon.

Silver Star faces boil water notice Morning Star Staff

Taps are being turned off at Silver Star. The Regional District of North Okanagan placed customers supplied by the Silver Star water utility on a boil water notice Wednesday night. “The notice is in effect due to a bacteria count in the distribution system,” said James de Pfyffer, small utilities manager. “This means that water intended for consumption purposes should be boiled for one minute.” Staff is investigating the situation and implementing measures to correct any issues discovered, plus continue to monitor water quality. “Customers will be notified when water quality has returned to normal,” said de

Silver Star ready to host Foam Fest run Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

Canada’s foamiest, muddiest, funnest family run is coming to town for the Silver Star opener. The 5k Foam Fest hits the slopes with upwards of 5,000 contestants at Vernon’s mountain resort Saturday, June 13, which is also opening day at the Star.

“The 5K Foam Fest is not a hardcore race it is a funcore race,” said president Jesse Fulton. “The goal is to have fun while running.” The event is nearly sold out, following a very positive response from the Vernon/ Ke l ow n a / O k a n a g a n community. But there are still spots left. Unlike most runs, which are geared

towards the challenge, this event puts the focus on fun so people of all fitness levels can participate. “Don’t get me wrong though, this is still a race that you will feel in the morning and it can be challenging if you want it to be, but the smiles are endless at Foam Fest and we sure won’t be shocking you with electric currents or

Individuals who are just friends wanting to try something new, soccer and hockey teams, nurses and teachers, police stations and fire departments are just a

few of the people taking part. Plus there are a number of families. “Our youngest runner to date was a nine year old, as that was the age minimum last year,” said Fulton. “We have lowered the minimum

age to eight years old this year. “Our oldest runner has been 87. He may not have had the fastest time, but he did it with his daughter and created some outstanding memories, that was

The Canadian Cancer Society is counting down to Vernon’s 13th annual Relay For Life Saturday at the Polson Park Oval from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. The theme this year is KISS Cancer Goodbye ~ Rock N’ Roll Relay. “This years’ relay has participants coming from Falkland, Coldstream, Lumby, Armstrong and Westwold,” Jennifer Harbaruk, community giving co-ordinator. “We invite everyone to come out and support your friends and family.” Each year, participants from across Canada come together to celebrate the lives of those who have overcome cancer, remember loved ones lost, and empower individuals and communities to fight back against the disease. “Every step taken and every dollar raised is invested in cancer research to improve the detection, diagnosis and treatment of cancer,” says Harbaruk. “Together we continue to make a difference in the lives of Canadians who are faced with cancer. We are encouraging past participants, new participants, cancer survivors and anyone else in the community to get involved with the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life, everyone is welcome.” The Relay For Life is a 12-hour, non-competitive event that involves teams of up to 15 who take turns walking or running around a track. The event opens with a Survivors’ Victory Lap, where cancer survivors kick-off the event by walking an inspirational first lap. Luminaries are lit during a moving ceremony at 9:30 p.m. “Their light pays tribute to loved ones and provides motivation and encouragement to participants as they wind up the evening,” said Harbaruk. Last year, in B.C. and the Yukon, the event raised more than $3 million for the Canadian Cancer Society. For event details or more information, visit relaybc.ca/Vernon

Pro bull riders enter local ring ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Bulls and cowboys will be flying in Armstrong on Saturday. The fourth Little Kingdom Professional Bull Riding, presented by Vernon Elks and TM Rodeos, takes place at the IPE grounds. Gates open at 5 p.m. “We’ve got athletes competing from B.C. and Alberta for nearly $10,000 in prize money and trophies,” said event spokesperson Matt Darmody. A field of 30 riders will be reduced to the top-six, based on scores, who will then enter a shootout. The best score in the shootout will get a chance to ride a feature bull. “That person will either receive $100 for every second until bucked off, or $2,000 for a complete (eight-second) ride,” said Darmody. Stock is being provided by D and E Rodeo Company of Salmon Arm. Merritt’s Jason Charters returns as the event’s rodeo clown. The public will also have a chance to win $250 in the ring of fear. Eight members of the audience will be selected to take part in the Ring of Fear. Eight circles will be set up on the ground inside the rodeo ring, and a bull will be released into the ring. The last person to leave their ring will be declared the winner. A concession and refreshment gardens (must be 19 and over) will be available. Tickets in advance are $15 for adults and $40 for a family at McDonald’s in Vernon and Armstrong. At the gate, those same tickets are $20 and $50. In advance or at the gate, tickets for seniors and kids are $10 while kids under five get in free.

Support from the Community Foundation goes in two ways: • Grants go out each Fall from endowment funds where the donor has specified a charity or group of charities as beneficiaries, • Grants go out each Spring to charitable groups who have applied to the Foundation’s annual Community Grants cycle. The “Smart & Caring Community Campaign” aims to grow our endowment to $17 million by 2017. Our unique approach to philanthropy involves investing pooled donor gifts to create a perpetual source of income for charities.

Spall stalls project request ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

A request from a handful of developers to defer preparation of a water and sanitary sewer servicing study in the township’s southeast sector’s north sub area has been denied by council. In December 2012, the council of the day passed first reading of an official community plan amendment bylaw proposing to change future land use desigTodd York nations of prop e r t i e s in the north sub area from large holdings and residential to a combination of residential, low- and mediumdensity multi-family residential, small holdings, commercial, public institutional and open space. Council of the day also declared that prior to second reading, the developer had to come up with and pay for engi-

neers’ report on water capacity and a waste water treatment method. “The process then stalled, partly because of the recession and partly because of the cost of the potential studies that needed to be done,” said Peter Nicolson to council, representing the developers. “Here we are. The applicant is ready to go further with development.” Nicolson told council he is representing fouror five different land owners covering about 1,000 acres in the north sub area. To do extensive studies involving the whole area would require knowing what each owner wants to put in there and have all landowners in agreement. “At this point, the likelihood of that just doesn’t work,” said Nicolson, stating what they would like to see done now is pass the OCP amendment, then the individual owners can decide what they want to put in the sub area in a phased way. “This is a 25-to-30-year project to develop the whole area,” he said. “If individuals are allowed

to go by themselves, they can go at their own time. The product will change. “If you build it in phases, you can do the studies required for the first two-to-three phases then, after that, you see what happens. Until you know the density and know what people want, how do you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for something that could be redundant?” Coun. Todd York said his concern is that, originally, the proposal for the north sub area was a large conceptual idea. Now, said York, things are “miles and miles away from where we started.” “Doing it one at a time is completely going around what the plan originally was,” said York, adding he has “real questions about the water.” “If we proceed with incorrect assumptions about things; if we’re wrong about the water and we end up with a long road, a dozen country residential fiveto-10-acre lots, it’s going to be a financial loss for the community,” said York.

The Township of Spallumcheen has its own agricultural area plan, but it has sent comments and recommendations to the Regional District of North Okanagan which is putting together a regional plan. The regional agricultural advisory plan is being put together to guide future decisions on local agriculture and food production. At its committee of the whole meeting, Spallumcheen council (though Coun. Andrew Casson was absent) made the following recommendations in regards to the draft regional plan: n The plan should include priorities related to minimizing the impact of agriculture on the environment; n Should include the implementation of environmental farm plans by all farmers, including nutrient management plans; n Should enforce manure spreading guidelines by the ministry of environment; n Include the assessment of livestock-carrying capacity and the ability of the available land base to

accept the nutrients; n Include adoption of more efficient technologies and conservation processes; n Should be an approval process in B.C. whereby the province works with municipalities to review and consider approving new and expanded farm operations prior to the issuance of agricultural building permits. Based upon input already received, the draft regional plan focuses on seven priorities: 1. Protecting farmland and farmers; 2. Strengthening the local agricultural economy; 3. Encouraging sustainable agricultural practices; 4. Managing clean and accessible water; 5. Ensuring farmland availability for emerging farmers; 6. Creating supportive government policies and regulations; 7. Raising awareness and education. The township supported, asked for clarification on a number of sub section topics or made recommendations on the priorities. One thing Spallumcheen does not support is a regional agricultural zone. “We do support each local government having its own agricultural zone for agricultural land reserve (ALR) lands,” wrote the township.” The township is also against an agricultural designation and related in policies in the regional growth strategy.

Adrenaline will also hold a food drive before and during it’s upcoming dance gala in the hopes of gathering more than 2,000 items for the local food bank, and helping out the people of Nepal, still recovering from a devastating earthquake. “Right now we are busy rehearsing for the dance gala and taking some time to give back to the community because the community continues year after year to help make us one of the best high school dance teams in the province,” said teacher Janet Gillis, who runs the Adrenaline program. “The food bank shelves get depleted through the spring, and summer is usually a lean time for the food bank so we thought we’d give them a small boost. “Overseas, we are hoping to assist the Nepalese by sending $500 to $800 to a local charity. We are hosting a bake sale and lunch hour show to raise the much-needed money for the earthquake-ravaged area.” The Dance Gala – Backtracks Volume 2 – will run Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, June 9 to 11 at 7 p.m., and there are two shows aJune 12 t 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Eagles win golf title TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff

There is a new winner in the world of B.C. high school golf. The two-time defending champion, Kwalikum Kondors of Qualicum Beach, were dethroned by the Mennonite Educational Institute Eagles (MEI) in the B.C. AA Golf Championship at saturated Predator Ridge Wednesday afternoon. The Eagles, of Clearbrook, recovered by 18 strokes to clip the Kondors by four shots. The Eagles combined to shoot 318 and 300 in the finale. “I told them to relax in between rounds,” said Eagles’ coach Rich Balzer. “We have some guys who don’t relax enough out there. I told them to just relax, have fun and hit the shots like they know how to. Our decision making was a lot better today.” Balzer credits the strong second round by John Engh for the big comeback. Engh carded an opening round 79 and responded with a 72. “That is a fantastic round for him and it probably made the difference,” said Balzer. The Eagles brought the same team to the previous two provincials, finishing sixth and 15th. Balzer said he was aiming for a top-three finish this year. Eagles’ senior Nathan Bahnman has been the leader of the squad all year and turned in an impressive scorecard of 76 and 72. “I had a couple average rounds but our team played great,” said Bahnman, who didn’t let the odd bad hole affect his game during. “It’s just crazy right now, I don’t even know what to say. I’m thrilled with our team.” Bahnman was cool down the back stretch, not letting the rain or pressure blur his vision. All his tee shots were struck well, avoiding any difficult approaches to the green. “Nathan is a prolific golfer, a great leader and very consistent on the course,” said Balzer. “I was hitting all my irons great today and I was

knocking down my putts,” said Bahnman. The Kondors opened with a 309 and closed with a 313 for a two-day total of 622. “Being the two-time champs we wanted the three-peat but we fell a little short,” said Kondors’ coach Butch Gaylon. “The guys will be a little disappointed, but it’s a tough course and you got to give credit to MEI, they simply outplayed everyone today.” The Kondors don’t have any graduating players, so they will be on the hunt to reclaim the provincial title next year. A Grade 10 student at Kwalikum, Jake Lane finished tied for third after carding 76-70-146. Tristan Mandur of Shawnigan Lake Secondary won by retrogression to secure the low gross title with a 73-73-145. The women’s low gross winner was Mary Thomas of St. Thomas More Collegiate with a 76-71-147. Kalamalka Lakers placed the highest out of any Vernon area schools. They shot a 323 and 325 for 648 and sixth place. Matthew Kreutz was the top Laker, finishing 14th with a 77-75-152. Jared Larsen was one shot behind his pal at 77-76-153. Dexter Weiten placed 43rd with an 84 and 89 for 173. Cole Benjaminsen carded a 90-93-183 to finish tied for 49th. The Seaton Sonics finished eighth with a 339320-659. Mac Gourdine shot the best for the Sonics in a tie for 15th with a 78-75-153. Parker Wadsworth finished tied for 17th after a 77-78-155. Christian Lacasse carded a 85-80-165 for a share of 49th and Landen Harrison placed 54th with a 99-87-186. The tournament was hosted by Seaton, led by parent organizer Charlie Law.

Sawatsky sweeps super Curl B.C. honours Rick Sawatsky was about eight when Vernon Curling Club manager Ron Houston gave him a pair of curling shoes. “They were two sizes too big and I think that’s why I became a toe slider,” laughed Sawatsky, who has been named Male Athlete of the Year by Curl B.C. Sawatsky, a 39-year-old metre technician with Corix Utilities in Kelowna, took lessons in the Vernon junior program and after competing against TJ Perepolkin, Rick joined forces and threw third rocks as the good friends won the B.C. Juniors in 1996, finishing fourth at nationals. A five-time Purple Heart winner, Sawatsky, who represented B.C. at the Brier for the fifth time this year, was nominated for the award by his skip, Jim Cotter, recipient

RXV565

of the same honour in 2014 and 2009. Cotter describes Sawatsky as “the best teammate anyone could ask for, always putting the team ahead of himself.” Sawatsky has played lead for Cotter’s Vernon-Kelowna rink the last dozen years and holds the record for both best percentage at a Brier and the most Rick Sawatsky perfect games in a row. “I was pretty surprised,” said Sawatsky. “I gotta thank and share this with my teammates, Jim, Ryan (Kuhn) and Ty (Griffith, 2007 award winner). Without them, I’m just a guy out there throwing rocks.” Sawatsky also gives props to his folks – Mel and Linda –

and sister, Kelly, for huge support and inspiration. Former world champion Pat Ryan provided Sawatsky with wisdom early in his men’s career. Sawatsky and Ryan spent two years as teammates with Ryan ask skip and another two with Cotter at the helm. “Pat not only taught me how to be a better curler, but more importantly, how to be a better person.” A first all-star at this year’s Tim Hortons Brier in Calgary, Sawatsky was born in Sioux Lookout, Ont., but moved to Vernon at age two. The 5-foot-11, 195-pounder will spend the summer training, hitting the golf course and playing slo-pitch with friends in the Funtastic tournament. Bernice Mulock of North Shore Winter Club took the Pat Kennedy Award for longtime (56 years) service.

Red Bulls bounce Monsters Keeper Jackson Buller turned away many fine efforts by Navy. In other U13 boys action, Caleb Dreir supplied four goals and Aiden Buckley counted three as the Italian Kitchen Scrubs ambushed the Fairfield Inn & Suites 10-2. Braydon Beese (2) and Nicolas Petty completed the Scrubs’ offence. Jackson Dahl and Jayden Sexsmith replied for Fairfield. The Blue Skittles and the Emerald Girls played to a 2-2 draw in U9 girls play Saturday at Creekside Park. The Emeralds took an early lead as Verdi White tucked a crossed ball just inside the post. Skittle defender Emmah Pedersen prevented any more damage with a pair of gutsy blocks. Sophie Challen then forced a turnover at midfield, and Jasmine Soon ran on to the ball, blew past the last defender, and laced the tying goal. In the 19th minute, Lauren Cooke wheeled around a traffic jam in the Skittles’ end and put the girls in green ahead once more. Two minutes before the half, Soon broke loose again and unleashed a thunderbolt high into the Emerald net. After the break, the green team stormed out of the gate, but Skittle Kiana Bussiere proved impassable on the back line. Forward Arwyn Thomas turned the tide with a series of penetrating runs into the green end. The blue bonbons had a handful of delectable chances, but green keeper Sophie Winstanley gobbled up the ball each time. Skittle Fianna Gough made an impact with her hustle all over the pitch. As time wound down, Cooke appeared to have the winner, as she hammered a ball from the edge of the box. But Skittle keeper Aida Dempsey was there, flashing her right glove to make a game-saving stop.

The Red Bulls winged their way past the Cookie Monsters 1-0 in a Royal LePage U12 boys youth soccer showdown Saturday. Sweeper Mark Hesketh had the Monsters seeing red with his stingy defending. Hesketh negated the game’s first scoring chance with a bullish shot block on Connor Strilchuk. Soon, striker Strilchuk strode in again, deftly deflecting a drive by Evan Bush, but the red keeper came up with the stop. Another feature of the game was the nifty combination passing of the Nguyen brothers, Tai and Tri. In the 17th minute, Tri wove his way into the box and bagged one for the Bulls with a low bullet. Six minutes later, Keaton Dick ducked around a Bull and crossed to Strilchuk, whose scoring flick was called back, narrowly offside. Before the half, fleet-footed Bradley Halvorson broke in on Cookie keeper Tavis Whibley, who made a monster save. In the second, Owen Sunderland spearheaded the Monster attack, backed by the tenacious defence of Mason Wood and Hayden Dick, but the Red Bulls’ bulwark held. The Printech Gold Prowlers gold team iced the Printech Navy Prowlers 6-1 in U13 boys play Friday night at blustery Marshall Field. The Golds started the game into the wind and running uphill, but managed a goal by Ben Molitwenik for the halftime lead. The second half saw the Gold Prowlers running with the winds at their backs and the game took on a frenetic pace. Molitwenik added a deuce, while Brad Cramer matched his hat trick. Lucas Schuck turned in a stellar two-way showing with two assists, while Willem Gibson (2), Rory Campbell, Conner Seehaver, Tage Kineshanko,and Rory Campbell also had helpers.

The U19 Enderby Storm struggled with injuries and illness, and after losing their first three games Saturday, things didn’t look promising at the Vernon Spring Fling Fastball Tournament. However, the Storm persevered and with all-star pitcher Brooklyn Hay tossing 20 innings Sunday, ended up stopping the Chilliwack/Sardis Slammers 9-8 in the final. Enderby grounded the Kelowna Klash 7-6 in the semis after edging the West Kelowna Outlaws 3-2 on a dramatic game-winning home run by Desiree Preece. Coach Sheryl Hay posted words of encouragement to her team after their disappointing start on Saturday: “It is not how you play when everything is going well that shows your strength but how you play and work together when things aren’t going your way”. The girls dug deep on Sunday and the fans witnessed there was no limit to what the Storm was capable of doing. Enderby lost round-robin games to Chilliwack/ Sardis, Kelowna and Sicamous. Hay, Chelsea McCaig and Alysa Andriash took MVP awards for great catching, awesome pitching and aggressive base running, respectively.

Tanks fall to Rage in women’s quarterfinal

Meanwhile, the Vernon Brewers Sports Tanks bowed 11-2 to the eventual champion Ridge Meadows Rage in Sunday’s quarterfinals of the Kelowna Ladies Fastball Tournament. The Tanks were the only team to score on the Rage in the 16-team affair at Mission Sports Fields. In preliminary play, Vernon mercied Maple Ridge 15-2 in their first game, shelled North Delta 7-0 and rallied to tie the Ridge Meadows Impact 4-4 in the seventh inning. Vernon finished fourth in the round-robin and toppled the Impact 6-1 in the quarterfinals. “The girls played solid ball all weekend with great plays in the outfield by Tara Joe, Iva Wiens and Chantal Gooderman,” said Tanks’ coach Scott Flood. “Infielders Ashley Flood, Taylor Weixl, Paige Nicholas and Danielle Saddleman were also solid. Pitchers Nevada Nicholas, Heather Bourke and reliever Christine DeWitt all had outstanding games. Bianca Dewitt was a rock behind the plate all weekend. All the girls contributed offensively.” It was the Tanks’ first tournament of the season and Flood liked what he saw from the entire lineup, on offence and defence.

Stead seals Zone spot Morning Star Staff

Brady Stead of Vernon will represent Zone 2 at the 113th B.C. Amateur Golf Championships, July 14-17, in Cowichan. Stead, who just finished his senior year with the Camosun College Chargers in Victoria, shot 75-72147 to finish fourth at the Zone 2 tournament last weekend at Fairview Mountain in Oliver. SFU senior John Mlikotic, of Kelowna, won the tourney at 68-67135, six strokes ahead of Jesse Pedersen of Kamloops. Thierry Martine of Oliver was

third at 72-71-143. Stead, 21, recently won Camosun’s prestigious President’s Cup award for his outstanding achievements in academics and athletics. UBC Thunderbird senior Conner Kozak of Vernon was ninth at 74-78152, while Vernon’s Matt Kreutz was 12th at 80-75-155. They also qualify for the B.C. Amateur.

Richard on Team B.C. Morning Star Staff

North Okanagan Minor Lacrosse player Stephane Richard has earned a spot on the Team B.C. midget squad. Richard and fellow North Okanagan teammate Chase Wirth made the top-30 following tryouts in Langley last weekend. Richard and Wirth were among six Interior players to make the final 30. While the pair were in Langley, their North Okanagan Village Green Hotel Midget A teammates were winning two of three weekend games. The Legends swept a Sunday doubleheader in Armstrong from the Kamloops Rattlers by scores of 6-2 and 13-4. Thomas Mackiewich, normally a runner for North Okanagan, made his box lacrosse goaltending debut in the nightcap and was pitching a shutout through two periods with his teammates scoring nine goals in support. Mackiewich even threw a long ball to Brady Marzocco, who scored, earning an assist. Marzocco finished with three goals. Brett Olsen, Jake Pelletier and Nik Luttmerding had two each and singles went to Cam Lock, Riley Swiscoski and Mason McLennan. Bantam call-up Troy Cuzzetto played in goal in the opener for North Okanagan. Marzocco had 3+2, Luttmerding added 1+1 and single went to Pelletier, Lock and Connor Webb. Penticton Heat recorded a 7-3 win over the Legends Saturday, scoring three unanswered third period goals to solidify the victory. Legend goals came from Pelletier, Swiscoski and Amy Fox. Merritt’s Nicola Valley Thunder swept a Thompson Okanagan Midget B2 Lacrosse League doubleheader from the North Okanagan Super 8 Legends Sunday in Armstrong. The Thunder won the opener 4-1 at the Nor-Val Sports Centre, and took the nightcap 8-2. Seth Waterstreet and Dawson Boyce scored for Super 8 in Game 2 while Brody Drydyk had the lone

goal in the first game, set up by Reed Cashato. The Legends opened the weekend at the Nor-Val Sports Centre Saturday, rallying from a 3-1 first-period deficit to beat the Penticton Heat 5-3. It was the Legends’ first league win of the season. Chase Bronson and Dakota Campen each had two goals for North Okanagan while Boyce added the other to support the stellar play of goalie Jordie Scherck. Head coach Travis Mann singled out Bronson, Scherck and forward Shelby Connors for outstanding play in the win over Penticton. The two teams meet for a fifth time this afternoon in the opener of the Heat’s tournament. Each team has won twice (North Okanagan downed Penticton in the Legends’ tournament in May). A stellar weekend was turned in by the North Okangan Tyke #2 Tim Hortons Source for Sports Legends as they won two and tied two at sweltering Kamloops Memorial Arena. Kohen Pounder’s two goals lifted the Legends to a 5-2 victory over Kamloops. Kobe Maltman, Reid Williamson and Waylen Stowards added singles. Arel Ciccone stopped 10 of 12 shots on net. The Legends played great stick-onstick defence as they iced Kamloops 7-2 in the nightcap. Pounder pulled a hat trick with Stowards registering a duece. Kain Yargeau and Williamson each sniped a goal. Maltman made nine stops between the pipes. The Legends battled to a 6-6 tie on Sunday with another Kamloops entry. Maltman was Mr. Everything as he sniped three goals. Stowards, Williamson and Pounder also found the back of the net. The Legends ended the weekend with a 3-3 draw when Brody Donnelly turned away 11 Kamloops’ shots. Head coach Chad Pounder is really impressed by the improvements the kids have made this season.

Ray Kimoto and Meryl Ogden represented Vernon well at the B.C. Senior Tennis Championships in Vancouver. Kimoto, playing in the 75+ singles and doubles, was a finalist in the singles and a winner in the doubles at the Jericho Tennis Club. After defeating Walter Toffoli of Vancouver, 6-3, 6-1, in the semis, Kimoto lost 6-4, 6-0 to Horst Dammholz of Vancouver in the finals. In men’s doubles, after defeating a tough pair from Saskatchewan in the semis, Kimoto and Frank Jarman of North Vancouver won the 75+ doubles championships over Alex Clarke and John Walsh of Vancouver (3-6, 6-4, 6-0). The next Masters tournament for Kimoto will probably be the Vancouver Island Grass Court Championships in Cowichan in July. Ogden went into the tournament unseeded. In her 55 singles round-robin pool, she defeated Carol Pedlar (Vancouver) 6-4, 6-0. In the next match, Ogden upset No. 2 Brenda Cameron (Vancouver) 6-4, 6-3. The last match was against top-rated Cora Wills (Vancouver) and Ogden prevailed to win 0-6, 7-5, 6-1. In doubles, Ogden teamed up with Pamela Rosenbaum (Vancouver). The format was a five team round-robin. They went 2-2.

he province’s new 10-year transportation plan, B.C. on the Move, prioritizes investments in our transportation network, and highlights our commitment to continued improvements to Highway 1 between Kamloops and the Alberta border. The Trans-Canada Highway is B.C.’s primary southern east-west corridor. The section between Kamloops and the Alberta border is more than 400 kilometres long, and winds through some of the most challenging terrain in Canada. It is an essential corridor for trade and travel, used by as many as 12,000 vehicles each day, and accounting for Greg Kyllo the movement of $2 billion in trade per year. Since 2001, the provincial and federal governments have invested approximately $700 million in improvements between Kamloops and the Alberta border. As part of this investment, the province has widened 45 kilometres of Highway 1 to four lanes and has replaced or installed 11 new structures as part of this work. Work is currently underway to widen more sections of Highway 1 to improve safety and capacity. Construction is in full swing on two major Highway 1 improvement projects between Monte Creek and Hoffman’s Bluff east of Kamloops. Another phase of this work will start this spring, to widen another three kilometres of Highway 1 from two to four lanes through Hoffman’s Bluff itself. In addition, work is underway east of Sicamous to replace the Malakwa Bridge and widen three km of highway to four lanes. As detailed in our recently launched 10-year transportation plan, B.C. on the Move, and building on the provincial commitment to invest $650 million over the next 10 years toward four-laning Highway 1 from Kamloops to the Alberta border, the province will work with Canada to leverage federal funding for priority projects. It is our government’s goal to increase investment on this corridor to more than $1 billion with partners over the next 10 years. With federal and provincial contributions to date, 22 of the 26 kilometres through the Kicking Horse Canyon, east of Golden, have been widened to four lanes, dramatically improving safety and capacity of this section of the Trans-Canada. To complete the remaining four kilometres, an investment up to $650 million is needed. The province continues to pursue a federal partnership through the National Infrastructure Component of the Building Canada Fund to enable completion of this project. Other Highway 1 improvement projects prioritized through B.C. on the Move include Hoffman’s Bluff to Jade Mountain, Donald East, Illecillewaet and Salmon Arm West. Planning and design work is underway on each of these projects. Through B.C. on the Move, we are making other investments in the safety and reliability of Highway 1. As part of our $25-million-per-year Roadside Safety program, we’ll be piloting a variable speed zone between Malakwa and Revelstoke, and investing in guardrails in key locations along the corridor. Because Highway 1 traverses some of the province’s most challenging avalanche terrain, we are also committing to pursue new technologies and other improvements to reduce the number and

duration of highway closures during periods of high avalanche hazard. The ministry will also work toward this goal with local government and incident responders, including the police and coroners. Improving the Trans-Canada Highway between Kamloops and the Alberta border to make it safer and more efficient for all travellers is critical to attract new investment and support economic growth in British Columbia. Through B.C. on the Move, the provincial government will continue to four-lane and implement safety improvements on the Trans-Canada, and work with the federal government to leverage available funding to build on our partnership successes to date.

Vitamin C and Lysine for Heart Health and More... W. GIFFORD-JONES, MD

Seventeen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs (CLD’s). Instead, knowing the research on vitamin C and lysine, as well as the side-effects of CLD’s, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal.

Medi-C Plus™, with vitamin C and lysine, is available at health food stores and select natural pharmacies. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop with breakfast and the evening meal.

I do not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. This is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine and I’m glad I did! I turned 91 this year and still write a weekly column and travel across Canada speaking on the benefits of healthy living. To join me on the road go to: www.docgiff.com

Horoscope BY EUGENIA LAST

situation that can have negative effects on your work and productivity.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Stay on top of your personal files. Unless you are fully aware of your financial position, you won’t be able to take advantage of a proposal. Preparation will give you the upper hand.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Join an organization that enables you to meet prospective partners. Brainstorming with likeminded people will enhance your social network. Business events or seminars figure prominently in your quest to get ahead.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Share your thoughts and feelings with those closest to you. It’s easy to take others for granted if you become too busy. Let your loved ones know you are appreciative. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) If you don’t ask, you won’t receive. Make everyone aware of what you are doing, and muster support. Trying to do too much on your own will lead to disappointment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Don’t let a negative or critical person prevent you from doing the things you love. Being inspired and involved in exciting projects will be your revenge. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Take time off to pamper yourself and do things you enjoy. You will feel revived and ready to take on twice as much when you are well rested. Don’t disregard your needs. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Love is on the rise. It’s possible that you have been given false information. You will need to get to the bottom of a questionable situation before making an important personal decision.

Previous Solution

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Change is in the air. Take an objective look at a deteriorating partnership. If the results are not what you expect or deserve, consider making changes or moving on. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Mixing business with pleasure will lead to problems. Your charisma is strong and will spur a

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Patience and understanding will help ease discord. If something is not progressing, work as a team player to repair matters. Placing blame will only escalate an already volatile situation.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Prosperity is within reach, but it is imperative that you do your own research. You will regret moving too quickly on an appealing but risky venture. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Try something different. Interesting friendships are bound to develop once you move out of your current circle. Explore diverse venues in your community or take a jaunt to an inspiring destination.

Get a taste of art in Armstrong Saturday Stroll along the streets to meet the artists while enjoying locally prepared food and beverage Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Imagine strolling down the quaint tree-laden streets of historic downtown Armstrong. Now picture musicians playing along those tree-lined streets and artists showing and talking about their latest colourful drawn, painted or sculpted creations. Then top it off with local chefs, farmers, and food-related businesses serving up freshly-made tapas and local vintners, distillers and breweries providing the libation to wash it all down with. That’s only a tease of what to expect at the second annual The Taste of Art in Armstrong Saturday. The event is a walking tour of downtown Armstrong that is a fundraiser for SPARC (Armstrong Spallumcheen Arts Council) and AFIS (Armstrong Food Initiative Society). With 30 businesses along with more than 20 artists and 10 musicians participating, organizers are expecting to see double the attendance from last year. “The event attracted visitors from

throughout the Thompson-Okanagan last year, many of whom are returning since it is a unique way of supporting local arts, agriculture and food, and shopping locally,” said Natalie Garbay, a director with SPARC and one of the organizers of the event. “Many new businesses have opened up in Armstrong since last year, and this is a great opportunity for them to promote themselves.” Of the businesses participating, each will be paired with either a musician, an artist, a local chef, food or beverage provider, or a combination of these. “During the event, everyone will get to talk with the artists and musicians, explore the wonderful shops our community has to offer, and sample locally grown and prepared food, and taste alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages from our region,” said Garbay, adding that Summerhill Winery, Larch Hills Winery, Okanagan Spirits, Crannog Ales are just some of the businesses coming to provide the beverages. Participants and visitors will be able to stroll along both sides of Pleasant Valley Boulevard, as well as along Okanagan Street to Patterson Avenue, and Pleasant Valley Road to Bridge Street to take in all the sights, sounds, and tastes. “The north side (only) of Pleasant Valley Boulevard will be closed to vehicular traffic from Mill Street to Okanagan Street,” said Garbay, adding, “The Taste

So many people had no idea of the kinds of shops we had here in Armstrong – it was great exposure for all. The artists and musicians also benefit as they are able to sell their creations at the event as well.” The Taste of Art in Armstrong takes place Saturday from 4 to 8 p.m. Tickets can still be purchased online today at Eventbrite.ca, and then they will be available at the door only on Saturday for $25 each.

Jayme McKillop and Lowell Friesen, as Ginger and Rose, perform at last year’s Taste of Art in Armstrong. The duo returns to this year’s event Saturday, while Friesen releases his debut solo album, Home... and Away, with a performance at the Bean Scene in Vernon Sunday.

Local folk-roots artist is Home... and Away with new album Morning Star Staff

Born to the dusty beat of Manitoban prairie rhythms and church choir harmonies, and raised in B.C.’s fertile festival culture, Vernon singer-songwriter Lowell Friesen has been immersed in his love for music since day one. That love has just been translated into his debut solo album, Home...and Away, which is being dropped in Vernon with a release party at the Bean Scene coffee house Sunday before Friesen hits the road for a tour that takes him across Canada. A familiar voice and multi-instrumentalist around town, Friesen just played an opening slot for headliner Brandon Isaak at the Vernon Folk-Roots Music Society’s last concert. Known for crafting his own unique style of

folk-roots music, Friesen adds equal parts joyful abandon, heart-string pulling and tonguein-cheek humour to his performances. “Music is a catharsis to my experiences in the world, whether it be madness or beauty, both deserve and need a voice. If I don’t, I will either drown in sorrow or die far too young in revelry,” he said. “The threads of that inspiration are woven from a lifetime of longing and seeking, of losing and learning, of striving for balance in a precarious world.” Friesen’s songs reflect those sometimes turbulent and sometimes serene experiences. His songs speak to modern day trials and tribulations, his love of coffee, his pseudo fetish for knitting (and knitters) and an undying passion to understand relationship within one’s community. “Music has always been the connective

tissue in the fabric of my family and friendships,” said Friesen. “From earliest memories of church choirs, to teenage mosh pits and bass heavy dance parties to a long standing passion for festival culture, the heartbeat is a drum beat, the story, a song, and the teller’s tale is one I strive to tell.” After decades of revolving bands, playing everything from metal to folk and frantically seeking a venue for that voice, Friesen found his calling along with singing partner Jayme McKillop. Together they recorded their debut EP, Full Moon Sessions, in 2013. As Ginger & Rose, the duo have played extensively across B.C., including a memorable slot at the Arts Wells Festival and around the Okanagan. The duo will be reuniting to perform this Saturday at The Taste of Art in Armstrong

Saturday evening (see accompanying story above). Last year brought some changes, starting when Friesen entered the studio with producer/master fiddler Ben Beveridge to work on Home... and Away. The album is a 12-song collection of Friesen’s most beloved stories – a chorus that touches on the familiar without debasing his anti-pop mentality – accompanied by acoustic riffs and banjo refrains, along with foot-stomping tunes and quiet understated folk ballads. Catch the official release of Home...and Away, and the kick-off to Friesen’s 40-date, cross-Canada tour, at the Bean Scene Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 and are available at the Bean Scene. Partial proceeds will go to North Okanagan Youth and Family Services.

nglish glam rock quartet, The Darkness, raise cliché and buffoonery to a questionable level of art on their fourth album, Last of Our Kind. The group, fronted by brothers Justin and Dan Hawkins, is firmly in swaggering form on this self-produced recording. To say that The Darkness is contrived is stating the obvious but it’s down to how serious they or their audience take themselves. Hard rock pageantry is all over Last of Our Kind – highpitched wails, shrieking solos and pointless lyrics. The group is technically skilled but the content is so extreme that

StReet SoundS Dean Gordon-Smith its silliness begs consideration. They’re so over the top that suspension of disbelief is necessary. The title song is a slice of British heavy rock circa 1973, but with bands like Judas Priest still working the boards is this really needed? Justin Hawkins indulges in vocal excess for its own sake throughout but that seems to be the point of this group. Spectacle, wanking and musical extravagance are the norm.

Arts Season ends with A Brilliant Young Mind

For The Morning Star

The Vernon Film Society’s next presentation, A Brilliant Young Mind (originally called X+Y) is inspired by the real-life subjects of director Morgan Matthews British documentary Beautiful Young Minds. It concerns teenage math prodigy Nathan (Asa Butterfield of Hugo and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas), who was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum when he was a little boy. He had always struggled to relate to people, even to his ever-loving mother Julie (Sally Hawkins of Blue Jasmine and Made in Dagenham). Numbers (especially prime ones) are the only things that make sense to Nathan but when attentive teacher Mr. Humphreys (Rafe Spall) takes an interest in his talents, doors begin to open. The teacher’s unorthodox teaching methods help Nathan land a spot on Great Britain’s team at the International Mathematics Olympiad in Taipei, where,

under the blustery guidance of squad leader Richard (Eddie Marsan), Nathan and his fellow socially awkward mathletes discover they may not be as weird as they thought themselves to be. Director Matthews allows his story to build organically to its poignant conclusion. Butterfield is a wonder as Nathan, and the always superb Hawkins is a force of nature as Julie. Warm, sensitive and compelling, the movie is more than about connecting numbers - its about connecting hearts. “The movie is rather charming, often funny, occasionally surprising and consistently heart-warming,” wrote Mark Kermode in The Observer. A Brilliant Young Mind is the finale to the VFS’ spring season. Programs will soon be available announcing the three movies to be shown during the summer. They can also be viewed on the VFS website at vernonfilmsociety.bc.ca.

Asa Butterfield stars as an autistic teenage math prodigy in A Brilliant Young Mind.

Mind screens Monday at 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. at the Vernon Towne Cinema. Tickets ($7 cash only) are available at the Towne box office and the Bean Scene.

The Darkness lays the glam on thick Continued from B2

The group is a polarizing unit. If you can handle their ridiculousness and tasteless displays and enjoy the snippets of interesting passages that they trot out, then this is good fun. But if you aren’t down with over-the-top musical theatrics as a constant, move on. The rip-off quotient becomes annoying. They steal shamelessly from The Cult on Open Fire and

it’s an exercise in pointlessness. Barbarian deals with the Viking invasion of England, something Led Zeppelin covered to great effect on the Immigrant Song. Barbarian is just boneheaded hard rock subject matter, not even interesting.

tor fades. The group even has a revolving door of drummers. Their latest, Emily Dolan-Davies, joined in time to record this album then quit to be replaced by Rufus Tiger Taylor. She was preceded by several, of course. No one has choked on someone else’s vomit, yet. The band is in Spinal Tap land, where silliness sells. Where the Tap is enjoyable, this is pointless.

Ride goes from lake to lake for Rwanda Morning Star Staff

Grant and Dor’Ann Russouw are no strangers to helping others. The Kelowna residents are often fundraising for one cause or another throughout the year, but last year Grant experienced a reversal of giving when his name was drawn for a trip for two to Rwanda through the Lake2Lake Ride for Rwanda. The annual ride raises money for The Wellspring Foundation for Education, a charity which supports schools, teachers and children in Rwanda. In September, cyclists will once again ride a return route from Vernon to Eagle Bay Camp on Shuswap Lake. Last year was Grant’s first time at the event, and the trip to Rwanda was a special draw that coincided with the fifth anniversary of the Lake2Lake, the 10th anniversary of Wellspring’s work in Rwanda, and 20 years since the genocide in Rwanda. Grant was born in South Africa and lived there until he was nine, so the Kelownabased engineering technologist is thrilled with the opportunity to see more of the continent. Neither he nor Dor’Ann have been to Rwanda before, and the couple will spend time with the Wellspring staff and the teachers, children and schools Wellspring is helping. They will also hit some of the tourist highlights such as the National Museum and a trip to the mountains to see the gorillas. Grant, an avid cyclist, wanted to combine his love of cycling with his desire to help others, so he formed a team and raised funds for the 2014 Lake2Lake ride. “It was fantastic,” he said of the ride. “You know where the money is going and now I get to see it. I was born in South Africa, so African charities are close to my heart.” Through an innovative school development program that works with all educational stakeholders, Wellspring is helping to raise up a generation of leaders by improving the school system, and assisting countless

It was 21 years ago that Rwanda suffered through a genocide that left hundreds of thousands of people dead. The land is healing, the people are moving forward, but to reach stability and prosperity, education is vital. And that is where Okanagan cyclists come in. Shirley Malnis, partner engagement coordinator for The Wellspring Foundation for Education, and coordinator of the ride, said the money raised from the ride will change the lives of children half a world away. “The donations collected from the ride will go directly to helping Rwandan teachers and students,” she said. While Dor’Ann is more of a marathon runner than cyclist, she will be part of this year’s ride in a support capacity, and she will be bringing her three children with her to this family-friendly event.

“I think this year we plan to join as a family at Eagle Bay and we will be volunteering along the way,” she said. While organizers will not be giving away a trip to Rwanda this year, Malnis said there will be early bird prizes, as well as other rider draws during the Saturday evening program. Fundraising is optional for the riders, and although individuals may raise funds, new to the ride this year is the team challenge. Malnis said teams of four are asked to raise a minimum of $5,000 for the cause and challenge others to do so as well. Grant is already planning to meet that challenge, and is actively recruiting riders to be part of his team. The teams will be competing to have their names inscribed on a trophy that will be hand-carved by a world-renowned Rwandan sculptor, Laurent Hategekimana. While the ride is just over 220 kilometres, Malnis said

Cemetery tours offer a glimpse of Vernon history Lawrna Myers will lead her popular tours of Pleasant Valley Cemetery Morning Star Staff

The Greater Vernon Museum & Archives and the Vernon & District Family History Society are teaming up once again to offer, not one, but four Pleasant Valley Cemetery Walking Tours this summer. The Saturday tour dates include: June 13, July 11, Aug. 8 and Sept. 12. Each tour will begin at 9:30 a.m. at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery and last about

two hours. Following the tour, a light lunch will be served at the museum, where tour guide Lawrna Myers will be available to answer any further questions. The museum will also have more information on display about the historical figures mentioned during the tour. “We’ve had incredible interest in the tours,” said Denise Marsh, marketing and communications coordina-

tor for the museum. “Lawrna Myers and her crew have done a fabulous job of entertaining participants by dressing in costume, providing engaging stories and noting historical facts as well as a little gossip from the time.” For this tour, Myers has kept six of the subjects from the previous tour and added 10 new ones. Even if you came to last year’s tour you’re sure to learn something new. She will share stories about those who perished in the Okanagan Hotel Fire, some of the First World War Internment Camp detainees, the

young Lonnie Mohr, the Bernardo home child Joseph Harwood, and prominent architect Robert Brown Bell, to name a few. Tickets are $20 per person with a limit of 20 participants per tour. To avoid disappointment you’re strongly encouraged to purchase tickets early. Tickets are only available at the museum and will not be available on the event date. Participants are asked to wear good walking shoes as the tour involves a considerable amount of walking and standing. For more information, call the museum

Taking care of this planet

e are nearing the end of the current ice age as the polar and alpine icecaps are melting rapidly and sea levels are rising. Our planet has witnessed this cycle many times over the four and a half Vernon PC Users’ Club billion years it has existed. That fiery ball of sustained nuclear fusion that is our sun determines much of what happens with our climate on earth. As the earthly population of oxygenbreathing and carbon dioxide-exhausting

Computer question

organisms and machines increases, however, it accounts for a small, but nevertheless significant amount of global warming which now even the skeptics are acknowledging. Our ancestors have survived ice ages and cataclysmic events in the past, but never before have they occurred in the face of a major industrial revolution followed by an even bigger digital one since the Second World War. The former has led to many of the pollution woes we know today whereas the latter has given us the ability to collect, store and process big data which yields useful information instantly about changing environmental conditions. More importantly, this information can be spread quickly over a worldwide com-

munication system which does not necessarily forestall loss of life and material damage, but certainly can mitigate it. Moreover, expert analysis of these data to determine causes and effects can teach us to avoid, for example, the risks of building on flood plains or locating nuclear power plants close to the intersection of tectonic plates, not to mention the identity of the main contributors to carbon pollution. Avoiding a large asteroid on a collision course with earth, however, may be a little tricky! The next meeting of the Vernon PC Users’ Club is Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Schubert Centre in the cafeteria. Call Betty at 542-7024 or Grace at 5494318 for more information.

Not hearing clearly when many people are talking? Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, System Audéo V has been designed specifically to understand in group situations.

The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in company, or in the restaurant. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that are decisive when it comes to hearing things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory center of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

Hearing sensation! Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.

Without Audéo V

With Audéo V

The New Audeo V hearing aids provide considerable reduction in noise allowing you to focus on speech.

New hearing chip developed Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing aid chip that is designed to improve speech comprehension in noise, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to

is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation. Interested people can register for a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V by calling 888.408.7377

An added bonus is that the bumper/trunk isn’t particularly high off the ground. So if you have trouble lifting larger or heavier items up, this will be a welcome perk. Though my road bicycle isn’t particularly heavy, it is awkward. But when placing it inside the Fit, its wide trunk opening, low seats and fold flat features got a 10/10 in my books.

I’m not saying there is anything fundamentally wrong with this setup. It’s just not my first choice. That said, it’s not a deal breaker. Bluetooth comes standard on all models; so do power windows. And of course, the aforementioned Magic Seats, which allow you to configure the cabin in ways that will astonish you. On the road, the Fit also shines. A roomy cabin, combined with enhanced NVH properties so road noises are kept at bay make for a serene environment. Its electric power-assisted rack and pinion steering (EPS) move the Fit in and out of tight spots with ease and little effort. Though at highway speeds, you still feel connected to the car. Its charm extends much further than its practical characteristics. The Fit is a joy to drive and has flair in the looks department. Overall, the Fit fits well with me and I’m very happy about that.

By Keith Morgan

Ford is opening its portfolio of electrified vehicle technology patents to competitive automakers to accelerate industry-wide research and development of electrified vehicles. In 2014, Ford filed for 400-plus electrified vehicle patents – more than 20 percent of the total patents the company applied for last year “Innovation is our goal,” said Kevin Layden, director, Ford Electrification Programs. “The way to provide the best technology is through constant development and progress. By sharing our research with other companies, we will accelerate the growth of electrified vehicle technology and deliver even better products to customers.”

Ford believes sharing its patented technologies will promote faster development of future inventions as all automakers look toward greater opportunities.

“As an industry, we need to collaborate while we continue to challenge each other,” said Layden. “By sharing ideas, companies can solve bigger challenges and help improve the industry.”

As part of Ford’s increased focus on new and innovative technologies, the automaker is set to hire an additional 200 electrified vehicle engineers this year as the team moves into a newly dedicated facility – Ford Engineering Laboratories – home to Henry Ford’s first labs in Dearborn.

Ford Motor Company currently offers six hybrid or fully electrified vehicles including Ford Focus Electric, Ford Fusion Hybrid, Ford Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid, Ford C-MAX Hybrid, Ford C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrid and Lincoln MKZ Hybrid.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder TRY TWO FINESSES OR ONE ENDPLAY? Benjamin Franklin said, “One today is worth two tomorrows.” In bridge, banking everything on one chance is rarely better than having two possibilities to make the contract - but not always. Today, how should South play in six diamonds after West leads the spade queen? In this auction, North makes a three-diamond game-invitational limit raise. But if you and your partner prefer inverted minor-suit raises, do not abandon them. Although you might have an occasional uncomfortable initial

response, they are good in the long run. However, make sure you agree whether they are forcing to two no-trump or three of the minor. Each has pluses and minuses. South has two possible club losers. He could take two club finesses; the mathematicians will tell you that this will hold the club losers to one 76 percent of the time. But it would be better to have a 100 percent line. How about this approach? Win with the spade ace, ruff a spade high, play a diamond to dummy’s 10 (noting that both opponents follow suit), ruff the last spade, cash the heart ace, lead the heart four to dummy’s king, and play a club to the jack.

Yes, West wins with his queen, but what does he do next? If he leads a club, it is away from his king into South’s ace-10 ten ace. Or, if West returns a spade or heart, declarer ruffs in the dummy and discards his club 10. It is a textbook elimination and endplay.

She was a member of the Eastern Star and Riverside Ladies Club and worked as homemaker and volunteer for Shuswap Hospice Society.

Cook extraordinaire, she could feed a house full of people on very short notice. Farm girl, she could milk a cow faster than most. Green thumb gardener. She preferred to be in the background rather than the centre of attention. Loved by all who knew her. She looked for the good in everything and had a great sense of humor. She will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her children: Brian (Bonnie), Sue (Bruce), Marilyn (Jim), Allen (Sue), Colin (Amie); grandchildren: Kristi, Riley, Mitchell, Caesy, Samantha, Brady, Ember, Oakley; great grandchildren: Nixon, Sylver, Axl, Jeremy; and sister: Mary Widmark. Predeceased by her husband Frank; brothers: Alf, Hank, and Hilding; and grandson Tanner.

Veronica Clemson (nee Schwab)

1917 - 2015 Veronica passed away peacefully in the presence of her family May 29, 2015, aged 98, at Pleasant Valley Manor, Armstrong, BC. She is survived by her loving sons: Joe (Christine) and David (Zoe Anne); grandchildren: Douglas (Julia), Carol (Jay), Tové (Ron), and Sheridan (David); great granddaughters: Melissa, Emily, and Leiv; and many nieces and nephews. Veronica was predeceased by the love of her life, husband Max in 2005. She was the last survivor of 9 siblings. Born in Tramping Lake, SK, Veronica came to BC at age 19 with her parents and siblings to settle in Kelowna. She was a very hard worker and despite her hearing handicap and limited education, she had no trouble getting a job. Veronica married Max in 1941 and settled in Armstrong on their Schubert Road Farm. Mom loved her flowers and garden and insisted on eating organic homecooked meals with vegetables and meat grown on their farm. Her two boys were never allowed candy or pop. Veronica furthered her education by taking correspondence courses with tutoring from her many good friends. She worked in the Armstrong library for 31 years, was a member of the Armstrong and District Garden Club for over 25 years, and was an active member of the Knob Hill Ladies Aid for many years. Veronica and Max sold vegetables at the first farmer’s market and for many years after. Mom was famous for her cooking and sewing, which she entered in the Armstrong fair along with vegetables from their garden and won many first prizes year after year. We would like to thank Dr. Viljoen and staff at Pleasant Valley Manor for their loving care of mom in her final days. Also special thanks to friends and neighbours along with Frank and Helen Speed who enabled mom to stay in her house until December 2014. At Veronica’s request there will be no funeral service. There will be a private family gathering at a later date.
