Larger crowds flock to fair in 2015 RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A staggering 158,238 people passed through the gates during the 116th annual Interior Provincial Exhibition over five days, up from 147,932 in 2014. “I believe that’s the second biggest one ever,” said Bryan Burns, general manager. “It’s one of the best years I’ve seen.” The busiest days were 50,406 people Saturday and 38,673 Sunday. Burns says attendance swelled partly because of the range of activities, but also because it wasn’t too hot and
only rained briefly. “There was great weather and for a large outdoor event, weather is critical.” Fair-goers came from throughout the province, with the bulk of them from right here in the Okanagan-Shuswap. “I love seeing people with huge smiles,” said Burns. “There is so much to see and do. To have something like this in the valley is massive. There is nothing else like this in the province.” Among the most popular aspects of the fair were the livestock and agricultural displays, the rodeo, the midway and the wide range of food
$
booths. Feedback was positive, including from two Kidsworld entertainers at the IPE for the first time. “They were saying, “By far this is the best fair we’ve been to. People are so friendly,’” said Burns. None of it could have been pulled off without the hard work and commitment of 450 volunteers. “It’s incredible the amount of hours they put in,” said Burns. “Some take a week off of work to be here and they put in 18 hours a day. They do it all for the benefit of the fair.”
Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP reported no major problems with the fair. “From our point of view, the IPE was a big success,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy. Planning for the 2016 IPE is now underway and one of the areas under scrutiny is how to improve parking. “We already have some great ideas for next year,” said Burns, adding that an airplane soared over the fairground to take photos of parking and any possible challenges. “We will look at the pictures and see where people were.”

A long weekend for city firefighters JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Members of Vernon Fire Rescue had a busy long weekend with several accidents and a fire. Firefighters responded to a house fire Sunday afternoon in the 3900 block of Alexis Park Drive. “There was quite heavy smoke coming out of the front door and soffits of the home,” said Jack Blair, deputy chief of operations. Fortunately no one was home at the time of Jack Blair the blaze, but the occupant was nearby. The fire, which remains under investigation, was also quite hot. “The front window actually cracked it was so hot,” said Blair, adding that it is believed to have started in the kitchen area. The single-family dwelling sustained significant damage. “There’s quite extensive damage to the main floor and heavy smoke and water damage to the top floor.” It is unknown if the occupant had home insurance. Firefighters also responded to several accidents over the long weekend, including multiple visits to Highway 97. “We’d been up there three times in the past two days,” said Blair. “We’ve had a couple rollovers but fortunately no major injuries.”

Counterfeit money in circulation ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP are warning area businesses and the public to be on the lookout for counterfeit American currency. In the last month, there have been numerous reports throughout the Okanagan of fake $20 and $50 U.S. bills being found in the region. At least three counterfeit bills have been found in Vernon and a couple of other neighbouring communities have reported receiving the funny money. All
cases so far have involved counterfeit U.S. $20 and $50 bills. “All businesses are urged to carefully check the authenticity of any currency prior to accepting it as payment,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy. The three cases in Vernon are related to a couple of grocery stores and a bank, who received the fake bill in a night deposit. If you believe you have a fake bill, or have information in regards to the counterfeit currency, call your local RCMP detachment.
“We believe it’s probably all related and we’d like to be able to track the movements on this,” said Noseworthy, who added that the fake bills are “fairly good counterfeits.” Noseworthy said there are some online sites that will show the public and businesses the security features for American bills. “If you have any questions for any bills you do have, you can contact the RCMP and we’ll investigate the bill and confirm whether it’s authentic or counterfeit,” she said. There are no suspects in the matter.
reportss that there were six motor vehicle accidents reported throughout the North Okanagan Tuesday. It’s believed they were related to rain.

Vernon RCMP have completed an investigation into an alleged dial-a-dope drug trafficking operation. The investigation resulted in a 17-year-old man being arrested in his vehicle in the area of 32nd Street and 43rd Avenue Sept. 2 and the seizure of cocaine, heroin and other drug trafficking paraphernalia. Two men, 19 and 22, were also arrested on 32nd Street. A search warrant was executed at the suspects’ hotel room and additional quantities of cocaine, heroin, cash, and two handguns were seized. All three men are from the Lower Mainland and are facing charges relating to drug trafficking, possession of weapons and breach of current court conditions. “Arresting these three individual men and seizing a large quantity of drugs and two firearms is a very successful outcome that will contribute to the overall public safety in Vernon,” said Sgt. Dave Evans, of Vernon RCMP GIS/Targeted Policing. They have appeared in Vernon Provincial Court and all have been released from custody pending their next court appearances.

ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
For the second time in a year, a Vernon pet store was the victim of a fire, and police believe the incident is suspicious in nature. Police and Vernon Fire Rescue Services were called to the rear of Aj’s Pets and Things on 31st Avenue downtown for a report of a fire at 6:20 a.m. Sunday. “The fire was located in items stacked at the rear of the building and quickly put out,” said Vernon RCMP Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy. A woman associated with the store said the fire was started against the back door of the building using recycling items. Smoke got inside the building, upsetting some of the store cats. A year ago, a fire broke out at the rear of the pet store. Two people were arrested and charged in connection with that incident. Noseworthy said Sunday’s fire is still under

investigation but there is no reason to believe both fires are connected. “It’s not uncommon to have fires in these areas just because there is a very limited amount of residential locations nearby, and, at night time, it’s easy to move around without being noticed,” she said. “It’s a better idea for all businesses not to leave anything against their buildings that can easily be set ablaze.” RCMP are in the process of collecting video from surveillance cameras set up around the area in the hope of catching the culprit or culprits responsible.

Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP officers continue to appeal to the public for information in connection with the suspected foul play death of a local man. The body of Jason Thomas Hardy, 42, was found Aug. 26 just before 10 a.m. near the Vernon Lawn Bowling Club. “Anyone who may have been in the vicinity of, or in, Polson Park the night before or during the early morning hours of August 26, and may have witnessed any suspicious activity, is asked to please contact the Vernon RCMP or Crime Stoppers,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy, with the RCMP detachment. An autopsy performed on Hardy led police to believe he met with foul play. Two suspects were arrested in connection with the death last week. Brandon Joseph Charles Wellington, 18, and a 14-year-old male who can’t be named, have been charged with second degree murder. Both individuals have been remanded in custody pending a scheduled court appearance today. Police have said they believe the attack on Hardy was targeted, though they won’t say what leads them to that conclusion, and also that there is no
risk to the public. The cause of Hardy’s death has not been revealed by the authorities.

Motorists urged to slow down by schools $ Morning Star Staff
Children throughout the region are heading back to class and that means motorists should be aware of them. The RCMP are reminding drivers to slow down and keep an eye out for school zones.
“North Okanagan and Vernon RCMP officers will be targeting the areas around schools and issuing tickets for offences,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy, with the local detachment. “All drivers are reminded to slow down,
focus on driving and keep an eye out for children on the roads.” Speeding in a school zone less than 21 km/ hour over the posted
limit will result in a $196 ticket. If you’re caught going more than 21 km/hour and up to 40 km/h over the school
zone speed limit, you’ll be charged $253. Failure to stop for a school bus or failing to obey a school guard would cost $167.

World Suicide Prevention Day ~ September 10
Trailer set ablaze ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A fire to a utility trailer parked in the 2300 block of 33rd Street in Vernon is being deemed suspicious. The fire was reported to Vernon RCMP and Vernon Fire Rescue Services at 2:30 a.m. Tuesday. “The fire department extinguished the trailer, which was extensively damaged, and the fire is suspicious,” said Vernon RCMP Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy. Over the past year, Vernon RCMP and fire crews have responsed to more than 20 suspicious fires, some involving vehicles, trailers and boats, and there is still no suspect. Asked by a reporter if Tuesday’s utility fire is the latest in a long line of arsons, Noseworthy said police would not be speculating if it’s the same person involved. “We are actively investigating this,” she said. “We are aware of those fires and the concerns of the communities. The fire investigations take a high priority with us.” In late May, three boats were seriously damaged in a suspicious fire outside Banner Recreation in Vernon that was reported about 3:10 a.m.

Good, but not great
ast week, the provincial government issued a release bragging about how it’s entrenched on the front lines in the war against zebra and quagga mussels. According to the release, more than 3,200 boats have been inspected since May, keeping B.C. safe from the invasive creatures. “Our co-ordinated and ongoing efforts are making a real difference keeping invasive mussels out of B.C.,” said Mary Polak, environment minister. “We have risen to the challenge, and are continuing to develop a sustainable mussel prevention program by building capacity, experience and additional partnerships.” The government’s invasive mussel defence Richard Rolke program includes six mobile decontamination units and 12 auxiliary conservation officers. Financing consists of $1.3 million from Victoria and B.C. Hydro and $360,000 from the Columbia Basin Trust. This all sounds great, but it’s not enough, according to the Okanagan Basin Water Board. “We’d like to see permanent decontamination sites at the borders,” said Juliette Cunningham, an OBWB director and Vernon city councillor. “There is an opportunity for some boats to get through. We don’t have a level of comfort that all is being done that could be done.” And depending on mobile inspection stations means the B.C. border is like holes in Swiss cheese. If the six decontamination units are busy, who is minding the store at the other crossings along Alberta, the U.S. and the north? The government’s back-slapping over its mussel response came at the same time that OBWB heard from Julia Lew, with the Southern Nevada Water Authority.

Since the arrival of quagga mussels in 2007, SNWA has struggled to keep them from clogging water intakes and undermining water treatment infrastructure. “Whereas we haven’t seen some of the effects other jurisdictions have with the mussels, we’ve had others not seen elsewhere,” said Lew. “For example, in many areas where the mussels exist there is one reproductive cycle per year and one female can produce a million eggs. But the warm water temperatures in Lake Mead is resulting in six to eight reproductive cycles per year.” Another issue for SNWA is the $8 million price tag to chemically pre-treat a new intake, which is needed because of declining water levels in Lake Mead. Lew is urging B.C. and Okanagan officials not to sit back and wait for the mussels to show up on a contaminated boat. “If we could go back in time, prevention would have been the way to go. I know some think prevention is costly, but the moment you don’t have it, and the mussels get in, it’s devastating. The costs once they arrive are far worse,” she said. Cunningham sees Nevada’s experience as a wake up call for the Okanagan, particularly because warm temperatures in Kalamalka and Wood lakes could prove ideal for breeding mussels. “It’s quite alarming the measures that need to be taken and the cost involved,” she said. In the government release, Forests Minister Steve Thomson says, “Invasive mussels pose a threat to more than just ecosystems, but to drinking water facilities, hydro stations, agricultural irrigation and more. While we continue to see great success stories this summer, we all need to do our part to keep invasive quagga and zebra mussels out of B.C. waters.” And while all residents play a role in preventing the spread of mussels, the provincial government needs to do the heavy lifting.
The Interior Provincial Exhibition has wrapped up for another year, and what an overwhelming success it was. Over the five days, an impressive 158,238 people attended the Armstrong fair, leaving last year’s attendance figure of 147,932 in the dust. While many of those came from Armstrong-Spallumcheen, there was significant representation from the rest of the North Okanagan as well as from across B.C. and Alberta. “It’s a great opportunity for us to showcase our community to those visiting the fair,” said Patti Noonan, ArmstrongSpallumcheen Chamber of Commerce executive director. The out-of-town visitors spend time in motels and campgrounds, shop in local stores and explore the region, which may bring them back in the future as tourists or potential residents and investors. Agriculture remains a critical focus of the IPE, whether it’s the livestock or the exhibits of produce, flowers and preservatives. And that is important as it demonstrates the ongoing vitality of farming and its role in the Okanagan’s economy. But beyond dollars and cents, the fair is all about community pride. It’s ArmstrongSpallumcheen’s time to show off. “I love seeing people with huge smiles,” said Bryan Burns, IPE general manager. “There is so much to see and do. To have something like this in the valley is massive. There is nothing else like this in the province.” None of this happens on its own, and Burns and the IPE staff deserve a lot of praise. But our hats are also off to the dedicated army of volunteers who ensure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. The IPE is a North Okanagan tradition that does the entire region proud. Thanks for this year’s memories and we look forward to 2016.

Compassion and teamwork
am writing this letter from my father and myself. On March 17, I called an ambulance for my dad. Right from the paramedics to the doctors and nurses, I saw the expert care provided by each and every person involved. Once my dad was well enough, he was moved to 3North to await an opening to a care home. While he was there, about four months, I would visit with him for a couple of hours almost daily. While I was there, I was able to see and hear the incredible care and patience exercised by all of the staff. By all of the staff, I mean the nurses, care aides and also the cleaning staff. It was awe inspiring to see how everyone there were able to help each other when needed. Also, the upbeat attitude everyone showed meant so much to all of the patients there. My father is now in a care facility but I must say he definitely misses everyone on 3 North. We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved in his care. Vernon and area is very blessed to have such caring and compassionate people working and volunteering at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Willie and Bob Zazelenchuk
A RESPONSE David Lukey is only repeating what he has read or has been told from the B.C. Centre for Disease Control. The tick infection rate in B.C. in the ixodes ticks that transmit lyme disease is many times that which the B.C. CDC reports by using its mathematical miscalculations. Using its own data and correcting the mathematical reporting yields a much higher infection rate within the tick population. The B.C. CDC testing is limited to only confirming one strain of one species of borrelia bacteria that cause lyme disease. A negative B.C. test for lyme tells the patient and the doctor nothing about whether the person does or does not have lyme disease and to state otherwise is irresponsible. An abundance of science supports that fact. We have many strains of borrelia that are human pathogens. Therefore, lyme disease is a borreliosis caused by many strains. B.C. CDC has no idea whatsoever of how many people have lyme disease. If that is not the case, then it must sit down with us at the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation and our science/medical experts to explain its position. To date, it has refused any discussion where it would have to defend its position in a scientifically ethical and academic fashion. To imply that because other medical bodies use the poor test, that it somehow validates the test, is wrong. It is the same group of people under many titles and they have far too many conflicts of interest and vested interest in their poor testing model to change anything.
All of the science says the test is terrible, and it was never designed as a human diagnostic protocol. It was designed as a surveillance protocol only, so it did not have to be that accurate. David, if you wish to discuss this, I am more than happy to address this with and you can reach me by going to the contact page at www. canlyme.com Jim Wilson, president Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation ELECTION STRATEGY Conservative MP Colin Mayes' recent announcement of the federal donation of $100,000 to the museum in Vernon sounds like a benevolent and noble gesture. However it certainly is convenient timing for the Conservative Party which has just dropped the writ for a federal election. Obviously our self proclaimed protector of the people and his elected minions believe that giving back a few shekels of our own money to us naive cretins at election time to harvest souls for the polls is not only an effective strategy, but also saves dipping into the bulging Conservative coffers. If this strategy proves to be correct and helps them to win this election, then we will ultimately live out the consequences of four more years of dictatorial governance, along with the continued erosion of our democracy. Glen Kenyon STICKLE ROAD I want to congratulate H.A. Adams Roundabout is the answer.

I am a fairly recent transplant to Vernon, after having lived and travelled quite extensively and this seems the real solution to the Stickle Road problem provided there is enough room to construct a two-lane circle. It would have to be a very large circle. I can already hear all of the moaning about traffic circles being too confusing, but they have been employed for many years all over the world, including in B.C., and they are being increasingly constructed in places like Detroit. They move traffic very efficiently, cause minimum delays and are really quite simplistic. In my opinion, if you can't understand how to negotiate a traffic circle, you probably shouldn't be driving. G. Diebert MARINA PLANS It is with dismay that I read about Tween Lakes Resort requesting marina space on our beautiful lakes. Just a few weeks ago, there was a very happy picture of our politicians with the marina expansion on Mabel Lake. When will we ever learn? Our water is precious and we are continually having drought conditions. Human beings are supposed to be intelligent species, yet we are the only species that pollute our drinking water and use it up. It is very strange. It would be nice if we were the intelligent species and were all part of the Blue Dot Movement: Safe water, safe food, safe air for everyone of us. Agnes Richardson

Country singer Karen Lee Batten and her band (left) entertain the crowds from the Ram Truck Stage Wednesday at the Interior Provincial Exhibition in Armstrong. Kelowna country artist Ben Klick takes to the Ram Truck stage Sunday afternoon. A familiar face to these parts, Klick is about to release his second album, a six-song EP entitled Today, recorded in Nashville, which will be officially released with a performance at Okanagan College’s Kelowna campus, Oct. 10. Klick is also gearing up for the 38th annual B.C. Country Music Association Awards at the Hard Rock Casino in Coquitlam Oct. 25.

Shine on you crazy Diamond: Tribute artist returns for show at Elks Morning Star Staff
Cracklin’ Rosie fans rejoice. Tribute artist Jason Scott is about to deliver the look, the sound, the moves and the music of icon Neil Diamond when he performs at the Vernon Elks Hall Sept. 19. From Tin Pan Alley to Hollywood, through the turbulence of the 1960s and on into the 21st century, the songs of Diamond continue to attract new fans to go along with the legions of old. Scott’s Diamond Forever: a Celebration of Neil Diamond brings the songwriting and performing genius of Diamond’s music to the forefront and is enhanced by background stories, humour, authentic costuming, studio recorded audio tracks and “spot on” vocals.“ “This music bridges generations,” said Scott. “The show is structured but also spontaneous, loose and huge fun as the performance is very audience interactive. Sometimes I find myself in the crowd and then other times I’ve found some of the audience on stage with me”. Scott not only shines as Diamond on stage, he is about to

Jason Scott brings his Diamond Forever tribute to Neil Diamond to the Vernon Elks Hall Saturday, Sept. 19 at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. bring his award winning show to the big screen when he appears in the Midnight Pass Entertainment feature-length documentary, also named Diamond Forever. The documentary film will show the on and off stage lives of select Diamond performance artists around the world.
“It started production this summer with the red carpet event and world premiere expected to take place in Las Vegas in April, 2016,” said Scott. Like Diamond, Scott’s musical resumé is impressive. He attended the Toronto Conservatory of Music at the age of five, and achieved first
degree honours by the time he was 15. In his 20s, he toured extensively with nightclub and concert bands and in his 30s, was signed to a Canadian label as a recording artist, writer and performer. In 2005, Scott was the first ever Canadian performer to win the Be a Legend celebrity tribute artist competition at the Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. A well received audition followed with On Stage Entertainment, owners of the world famous Legends In Concert. In 2010, Scott was awarded the Sunburst Convention of Celebrity Tribute Artists’ Best Platinum Showcase Award. The following year, he not only won a second place trophy, but was invited to perform as the opening act for the headlining Country Superstars show at the Las Vegas Golden Nugget showroom. Scott returned to Vegas in 2012 to perform his award winning show on the First Street Stage, breaking attendance records at The Fremont Street Experience. He was also invited to perform at The Reel Awards Show gala at the Golden Nugget, and was surprised
to win the Reel Award in the pop and rock category. Scott has made appearances at The Rosen Plaza Hotel as well as The Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort at Disneyworld in Orlando, Fla. and aboard the Royal Caribbean cruise ship, The Monarch of The Seas. He has appeared in Las Vegas at The Greek Isles Hotel and Casino, The South Point Hotel Casino and Spa, The Imperial Palace and before her demolition, the world famous Stardust Resort and Casino. And he owes it all to the man himself. “Neil Diamond has recorded his music so many times, and changed it so much, that interpreting that music can in itself be an art,” said Scott. “When you look at Neil Diamond’s history and career of six decades, you realize the music and the possibilities of that music are unlimited.” Tickets for Diamond Forever: a Celebration of Neil Diamond are $25 with a portion of the proceeds going to the Elks Lodge of Canada fund for children. They are available at the Bean Scene, 250-558-1817.

Artist for all Seasons remembered Submitted to The Morning Star
The Seasons Art Club is paying tribute to fellow member Sandra Rogers with a posthumous art exhibition and sale of her work. Rogers, who passed away this summer after a lengthy illness, started painting in 2005 after retiring from the rat race. “She found it amazing to sit down and paint for three hours and realize that she had become so totally absorbed in the work that her mind was released from all the noise and chatter of day-to-day life,” said Margaret McSweeney, co-founder, with Rogers, of the Seasons Art Club. Rogers spent two years painting watercolours in Johannesburg, South Africa, before moving on to oils while living in Botswana for three years. She tried acrylics in 2010 just before returning to Canada and continued with acrylics when she was introduced to the Golden products. “She explored the many ways of using the products, but also trying to identify her style of painting. She leaned towards the impressionist style, but as she would say, ‘my paintings vary from time to time and it is always interesting to see how they turn out, maybe not always as expected, but always so satisfying to myself,’” said McSweeney. Besides being a cofounder of the Seasons Art Club, Rogers was also a member of the Okanagan Artists of Canada. “She is dearly missed by all who knew her. She could light up any room with her big smile and bubbly personality,” said McSweeney. The posthumous art show and sale of Rogers’ paintings will take place Saturday, Sept. 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Seasons Clubhouse, 7760 Okanagan Landing Rd. Proceeds will go to Hospice House. The art show is sponsored by the Seasons Art Club and everyone is welcome.

September and October are two of the best months for cycling in the North Okanagan. With many sunny days, temperatures ranging from 15 to 25 degrees C, and back roads free of summer traffic, it’s a great time to explore on two wheels. A favourite bike ride for us is to Armstrong via Otter Lake Road then returning the same way or via Pleasant Valley Road and Otter Lake X Road. When our bike legs are stronger, we bike from home along Old Kamloops Road, about a 60 km trip. But earlier in the season we’ll load our bikes onto our car. The best choices for parking are either Spallumcheen Golf Course or O’Keefe Ranch, with permission. We take St Anne’s Road north, staying on Otter Lake Road which veers off to the right. An earthy aroma confirms we are in agricultural country. At about three km we pass Victoria Place RV Bed and Breakfast on a farm which was established in 1886. Across the road orderly rows of pink Echinacea fill a field. Otter Lake catches the morning light on our right and the road begins to climb. We stop at the shaded T intersection of Grandview Flats Road to guzzle some water and then point our bikes downhill. We streak past a small pull-out
Moira Mccoll photo
A canopy of white ash trees greets cyclists riding into Armstrong. and a picnic table at the edge of Otter Lake. To the left, past Otter Lake Cross Road, is MacDonald Road, a steep road to the west and perched up it is a yellow Scandinavian-style house. This is the home of Country Home Antiques specializing in vintage Scandinavian furnishing, open by appointment only (call Eva Laarson at 250546-2529 or 546-0434). I confess I have only visited here when I’ve gone by car. The hill is steep plus you might find something to buy! Soon we are riding under the wide canopy of white ash trees that line the road until the intersection of Wood Avenue.
On Pleasant Valley Road we stop at the Brown Derby Cafe and order the Great Breakfast Special. We dig into our sausage, eggs and pan-browned potatoes unconcerned about the wobbly outside plastic table and mixed cutlery. A plaque beside the door tells us this is a historical building built in 1892 that was owned by the son of Overlanders that settled the area in 1862. Farther down the street we stop in at Chocoliro where Swiss chocolate is hand-molded, and enthusiastically try some samples. Then on Smith Drive, just west of Highway 97, we visit the Village Cheese Company, part restaurant, gift
store and cheese factory. We taste samples of artisan cheese: wild smoked salmon cheddar, Canadian maple cheddar, horse-radish cheddar and, my favourite, Gewurztraminerripened soft cheese. It is a slow uphill ride south on Pleasant Valley Road out of Armstrong. We pass the Olde Schoolhouse. Built in 1884, this one-room schoolhouse served the settler families for almost 40 years. Now, during the summer, it opens for coffee, tea or lunch, served on fine china. It’s best to check ahead for hours by calling owner Shelia Luniw at 250-546 9190. We pass Good’N Plenty market garden before turning right onto Crozier Road. The next right puts us onto Otter Lake X Road and we coast down some undulating hills before coming to Otter Lake Road. We now retrace our path up a steep hill, past Otter Lake and south on St. Anne’s Road. The entire trip clocks in at 33 (only about 24 km if you go to and from via Otter Lake Road). That’s what we call a good bike ride! Moira McColl is a freelance writer and cycling enthusiast in Vernon. This is part of her Urban Wanderer series on cycling in the area, with the hope that it will encourage locals and visitors alike to explore the North Okanagan on two wheels.

This week’s column has been written by Bill Hickey (extreme fig enthusiast). ipe high-quality figs have a rich exotic tropical flavour. Local gardeners Bill Doak, Jocelyne Sewell, Hagen Tanner and some members of the Okanagan Garden and Roses Club have already begun to grow figs in Vernon. I have sampled five varietJocelyne Sewell ies of fresh local figs so far this summer: Italian Honey, Black Spanish, Negronne, Serbian Black and English Brown Turkey. From my yard I will also enjoy LSU Gold, Atreano, Hardy Chicago, Black Marseilles, Italian Purple and Celeste later in the season. The ones that will do well in the Okanagan must enjoy very hot summers and also withstand quite cold Okanagan winters. In addition to winter hardiness we need early ripening, richly flavoured fruit and highly productive varieties.
R
A GArdener’s diAry
Pruning “pinching” for fruit production is essential in our short fig season to get early fruit, and it works like magic. It’s like pruning tomatoes to control vegetative growth and to encourage flowering. On a new green fig twig as soon as you can see five small leaves, pinch off the pointy top bud. The fig bush will quickly produce double buds at the base of each leaf. At pea size you can tell which bud is a fruit and which is a new leaf bud. Remove the new leaf bud unless you want to keep it for a new branch for your bush. From this stage to ripe fruit is about 70 to 80 days. Truly ripe figs are soft, drooping and starting to wrinkle. Feed with rose food or tomato food until Aug. 1 to allow hardening off by winter. Treat as a house plant for the first two winters when the roots are small and weak. Bring them into the house to a cool place after a mild frost when the leaves have dropped. If they refuse to go to sleep or wake up early, go back to pinching at five leaves. They will be fine when they get outside. After its second winter indoors, plant the fig bush out in spring. Be prepared to
give it the same care as a prized young rose bush. For wintering outside use a deep mulch of dry leaves and keep the rain off with plastic. To protect them from rodents use mothballs or mouse bait but be aware they can be of danger to your pets and small children. A 100-watt piece of plumber’s heating tape draped over the bush at the start of winter can be plugged in during cold snaps below minus 10 C. Below are my fig recommendations for the North Okanagan. From brugmansia-quebec.com: Marseilles Black, Ronde de Bordeaux, Sultane, LSU Gold and Italian Honey. From figsforlife.ca): Hardy Chicago, English Brown Turkey, Melanzana, Atreano and Verte.

Taking a walk back in time Morning Star Staff
Barbara Hartley, longtime lower East Hill resident and Friends of the Vernon Museum member, is once again donating her time and knowledge to host a heritage walking tour of the lower East Hill area. During her tour on Sept. 25, Hartley will discuss the unique architectural styles of the lower East Hill area homes, the families who have made this their home over the years and something called “sympathetic development” as you meander through the area. “She’s always thrilled when someone who once lived in the area joins the tour and shares some of their stories,” said Denise Marsh, marketing and communications coordinator at the museum. “Participants will have the opportunity to view (from the outside) upwards of 20 heritage buildings of various architectural styles.” From Vernon’s Court House to the Vernon Community Music School to the Campbell house that sits atop 30th Avenue, the tour crisscrosses lower East Hill
and will be followed by complimentary coffee. The walk is limited to 15 people and takes place Sept. 25 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Tickets are $10 per per-
son and only available at the Greater Vernon Museum & Archives prior to the event. All proceeds from the walk will benefit the Greater Vernon Museum &
Archives and its programs. For more information, call 250-5423142 or visit www. vernonmuseum.ca or w w w.facebook.com/ vernonmuseum

YUMMY SPARERIBS! Less expensive than back ribs, side ribs (or spareribs) have a great flavour, but are generally less tender, and so need a longer cooking time. But the money you save can buy you that special dessert instead! The trick wtih spareribs is to cook them long and slow. A slow cooker is the perfect way to cook these in the summer - it helps to keep the house cool and dinner is ready when you get home!

LISA VANDERVELDE/ MORNING STAR
Second World War veteran Herbert ‘Buck’ Rogers gets ready to hit the open road. He is making the trip in honour of a colleague who died during the war in Italy.
In memory of LISA VANDERVELDE Morning Star Staff
Second World War veteran Herbert ‘Buck’ Rogers still gets emotional when he talks about his friend Ronald Jones. At 95-years-old, Rogers is heading for the open road of the Canadian landscape, towing his custom-made trailer, complete with a fold-out bed, to Cape Breton, N.S. “I’m doing this trip on behalf of my buddy Ronald Jones, who was blown to bits in Russi, Italy by mortar shell,” he said with solemn conviction. “This still lies on my memory at 95.” Rogers fought in North Africa, Italy, France, Belgium, Germany and helped liberate Holland. Though this is a personal quest for him, he hopes his trailer, which has “One WWII Vet” written on the side, will capture people’s attention and spark conversation. “I’m a painter, I will stop along the way and paint scenery, and talk to people about the war and how our country is being run,” said Rogers. Born in Cape Breton the Vernon resident has made this trip many times before, but he plans to take his time on this journey and enjoy the adventure for Jones. “He would have liked it,” said Rogers.

St. John Ambulance has launched B.C.’s first blended, online and inclass, emergency medical responder (EMR) course. Students can prepare for a career in emergency and pre-hospital
care. EMR training with St. John Ambulance provides fundamental medical training for those entering prehospital emergency care and emergency response occupations such as paramedicine, fire and rescue services, law enforcement, emergency medical services, and industrial workplace response. It equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to be the first on the scene – to help sustain life, reduce pain, and minimize the consequences of injury, trauma, and sudden illness. EMR training is now being offered in Vancouver, with Vernon, Nanaimo, Penticton, Victoria and Fort St. John scheduled for fall program deployment. “The ability to help someone in distress, in a moment that might
be the darkest and most terrifying of their lives – is a pretty incredible feeling,” said Laurence Cheng, an active-duty paramedic in B.C. “It’s just a feeling that money can’t buy.” As the standard prerequisite for more advanced paramedic training, EMRs play an integral role in B.C.’s emergency health system (EHS). Several remote industries, such as oil and gas exploration, as well as recreational settings, are also turning to EMRs as the preferred or default level of training for on-site medical services. Remote and First Nations communities could also benefit from having EMR-trained residents to ensure more timely emergency response. As one of British Columbia’s leaders in advanced occupational first aid training, St.
John Ambulance has designed a blended EMR program that combines 30 hours of guided online study with 70 hours of handson, in-class training. By offering the flexibility of a guided online learning component with in-class training primarily focused on practical skills, students spend one week less inclass than in competing programs. Plus, the course is the only provincewide 10-day, in-class, EMR program with no prerequisites. St. John Ambulance’s EMR instructors have extensive hands-on experience in pre-hospital care and medical response, from paramedicine to firefighting. With several other EMR providers experiencing waiting lists for their programs, St. John Ambulance also hopes to supplement the need
for critical pre-hospital and emergency care training. Skills that St. John Ambulance EMR students will learn include the following: • Multiple casualty incidents and incident command; • Vehicle stabilization and patient extrication; • Pulse oximetry and blood glucose; • Pharmacology and drug administration; • Psychological and crisis interventions; • Agricultural and industrial emergencies; • Oxygen therapy and airway management; • Traumatic injury management; • Severe bleeding management; • Spinal management; • Pediatric emergencies; • Legal issues; For more information, visit www.sja.ca.

ment and they arrive with sirens blasting. I mean good grief already. So, if that didn’t grab my attention, it also rained on me as I was being rolled out the door and into said white vehicle. It ended up that I was fine (thank you to the lovely staff in emerg). So, I slowed down with the kayaking and decided to leap off tall towers instead. (reference the blond hair dye if you must) So, 10 of us went ziplining. The “fun” began immediately. First you sign a waiver that references death. Gulp. The initial ride in the van from the hut, once you are in the harness and helmet, was hair-raising. Speeding around bumpy dirt roads with hair-pin turns made the eggs I ate for breakfast scramble inside me. Upon exiting the van, we walked up a pathway that took us to a very wobbly rope bridge. The bridge’s wobbliness temporarily removes your focus

Originally, I went kayaking at every conceivable moment that I wasn’t actually working, paddling as fast as I could and as far as I could (gosh Carole – ever hear of warming up to something?). I should have known better, as I was a fitness instructor when I was in my ‘30s and had the knowlCarole Fawcett edge. The fact that we could add 30-plus years to that number now didn’t even enter my mind (methinks the blonde hair dye may have something to do with it). So without going into detail, I cleverly managed to have my own body scream at me – loudly – and I ended up having some uniformed people take me in a white vehicle (thank you guys) to the emergency department of the local hospital.

t’s been a while, but this year I actually took an official holiday and despite my quest to rest and relax, I managed to stay busy the entire time. But it was summer fun busy. This summer I purchased a 10-foot kayak. You can buy kayaks with rudders and all sorts of interesting bits attached to them. But the more bits, the more it weighs. Given that if yours truly purchases something, then yours truly is responsible for it, making the weight of the kayak an important factor. Also, yours truly is kind of out of shape. My kayak weighs about 33 pounds and I thought I could safely manage that. However, as I was learning to hoist it up onto the roof of my SUV, I seriously questioned that decision. I did learn how to do it without requiring chiropractic help. (thank you Doug)

from the height of the tower you are wobbling toward, psychologically giving you a temporary sense of relief when you arrive at the tower. At the tower platform, I was told there would be an initial 20-foot drop (Really? Oh dear!) and then I would zip along at 80 kilometres an hour hour and the small, young woman at the other end would stop me by yanking on a rope (everything is relative). I prayed she ate her Wheaties that morning. I looked down and seriously questioned my brain. I told the waiting group that I felt a bit silly as I couldn’t move (fear paralyzes). It was suggested I sit down and push off. That was the psychological break-through I needed. The harness tightened and I pushed off and I had one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life. There were seven zip lines and another wobbly bridge, but by the end of it I willingly leapt off each tower and once even backwards. It was deliciously freeing. So, I am now kayaking again, this time with calmness as I listen to the mesmerizing sound of the paddle as it dips in and out of the water. I love it. My summer has been memorable.

Bell dials up tennis double Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Jeremy Bell rang up a pair of titles in the Kalamalka Country Club’s 103rd Okanagan Valley Labour Day Tennis Championships last weekend. Bell, 45, first entered this tournament in 2005 and has now won the A doubles crown five times with four different partners after combining with Kelowna teen Calvin Thalheimer for victory in a roundrobin format. Thalheimer, 14, showed great maturity in strategy and shot selection as he and Bell won by one game over James Nearing and Jim Condon of Prince George. Jerry Reinhardt and Jason Shumay, both of Vernon, placed fifth. In the A singles final, Bell stopped Nearing 6-4, 6-3 for his first Labour Day singles crown. That was sweet for Bell since Nearing had defeated him last season in a Kamloops event shortly after Bell had moved to Prince George from Ontario. “Spectators were entertained to many close matches and exciting tennis,” said longtime tourney director Ray Kimoto, assisted by Gordon Mann. “Thanks to the hard working committee members Karalee Drdul, Dave Valouch, Gary Davidson, Mark Corbett and Alice Kimoto.” The A singles consolation final saw Reid Clarke of Calgary (Vernon) brush back Pip Walters of Kelowna 7-6, 6-7, 7-5. Steve Pastor (Kelowna) defeated
Ian McHarg (Vernon), 6-4, 6-1 in the men’s B singles championship, while Ben Johnson of Winfield bounced Blake McLeod of Vernon 6-1, 6-1 in the consolation final. The ladies’ B singles was dominated by Susie Walker of Prince George as she defeated Marnie Perrier of Kelowna, 6-1, 6-3. The consolation winner was Shannon Johnson of Winfield over Camilo Souto of Prince George, 6-2, 6-3. In the ladies’ A doubles, Meryl Ogden (Vernon) and Rosie Schaich (Kelowna) took the title by outlasting Eva Koksalova (Kelowna) and Audrey Chu (Kelowna), 3-6, 6-5, 10-4 in a marathon thriller. Consolation prizes went to Nancy Condon (Prince George) and Fran Mann (Kelowna) as they won over Walker and Souto 6-0, 6-2. The men’s B doubles featured an all-Vernon final with Dave Valouch and Morris Vardabasso dispatching Mark Corbett and Reid Clarke 6-1, 4-6, 10-8. In mixed A doubles, where seven teams played a round-robin, Rosie and Joe Schaich (Kelowna) topped the table at 5-1. Third place went to Meryl Ogden and Ralph Stevens of Vernon. There were five entries in the mixed B doubles where the Vernon pair of Judi MacIntosh and Gary Edwards placed first at 4-0. Third place went to Vernon’s Karalee Drdul and Blake McLeod.
Heat win opener Morning Star Staff
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Meryl Ogden, of Vernon, returns a serve in a doubles match with her partner Rosie Schaich, of Kelowna, in a tournament Saturday at the Kal Country Club.
Vernon’s Michelle Smith scored as the UBC Okanagan Heat iced the Winnipeg Wesmen 1-0 in CIS Canada West Conference women’s soccer action Friday night. The match was scheduled to be played at the Winnipeg Soccer Complex but due to severe weather conditions was moved indoors to the Rec Plex on the University of Winnipeg campus. The young Heat were unfazed by the last minute change and forced the action for the full 90 minutes, outshooting the Wesmen 25-4 Smith, the Heat’s lone fifth-year player, scored in the 47th minute, heading the ball in brilliantly off of a long pass from a free kick by defender Justine Drosdovech. “It was a good start to our season and we are very happy to capture three points,” said UBCO head coach Claire Paterson. The Heat moved on to play the Manitoba Bisons Saturday, and after jumping out to a 1-0 lead, earned a 1-1 draw.
Cotter opens Grand Slam versus Scotland rink Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Jim Cotter faces a new challenge in curling. The reigning, five-time B.C. men’s champion opens up the brand new Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling Tour Challenge today in Paradise, N.L. against Scotland’s Tom Brewster. The challenge is one of two new events added to the Pinty’s Grand Slam series for 2015-16. It’s a field of 30 men’s and 30 women’s rink split into two tiers with 15 teams in each tier, which are then split into three pools of five for round-robin play. Cotter, supported again this season by third Ryan Kuhn, second Tyrel Griffith and lead Rick Sawatzky is in the Tier
2 men’s division, and will meet Colin Thomas and Andrew Symonds, both of St. John’s, on Thursday before concluding the round-robin Friday against Chad Stevens of Halifax. The winner of the Tier 2 event will receive invitations to the following Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling event, The Masters, Oct. 27 to Nov. 1 in Truro, N.S. Other notable skips in the Tier 2 event include New Brunswick’s Jamie Grattan and Ontario’s Greg Balsdon. Both rinks competed alongside Cotter at the 2014 Brier in Kamloops. Tier 1 division winners will receive invitations to the second of two new events in the Grand Slam series, the
Champions Cup, which showcases all of the winners from major events in curling. Among the competitors in the men’s Tier 1 challenge are 2015 Brier competitors Brad Gushue (N.L.), Kevin Koe (Alta.), Brad Jacobs (N. Ont.), Reid Carruthers (Man.) and Steve Laycock (Sask.). Cotter, who turns 41 in October, went 6-5 at the Tim Hortons Brier in Calgary last year. He was awarded the Ross Harstone Trophy as the Brier curler best representing Harstone’s high ideals of good sportsmanship, observance of the rules, exemplary conduct and curling ability.

Ferner agonizes over final cuts KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Turning 50 was no big deal for Mark Ferner. Trying to finalize his Vernon Viper roster, however, is costing the head coach/GM sleep. The Vipers cut down to 25 players after a series of B.C. Hockey League weekend exhibition games with the Prince George Spruce Kings. They must list only 22 by Friday. “I was awake at three this morning (Monday) thinking about what we’re going to do,” said Ferner, who celebrated half a century by guiding the Vipers to a 3-0 win over the Spruce Kings Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. “We’re set with our goalies (2) and our dee (8), but we have five guys going for two forward spots. Everyday, we (coaching staff) sit down and talk about it. We like the group; they can all play and it’s too bad. Some kids will be shocked and disappointed; it’s a tough decision.” The Vipers left forward Chris Jandric in his hometown of Prince George after a 5-3 road win Friday night. They also released local defenceman Matt Halvorson and Coquitlam D Alec Rasovic, younger brother of Viper winger Nic Rasovic. Vernon also cut goalie Joseph McLeod of West Kelowna, who has offers from KIJHL teams. Returnee Jarrod Schamerhorn and newbie Andrew Shortridge, both 20, will handle net detective duties. Up front, the Vipers have returnees Liam Finlay, Colton McCarthy, Blaine Caton, Jagger Williamson, Linden Hora, Riley Brandt and Rasovic. Michael Roberts, a 20-year-old who helped the injury-riddled Vipers down the stretch last year, and new recuits Peter Tufto, Joe Sacco, Tak Anholt, Joey Cipollone, Jimmy Lambert, Brett Stapley and Hunter Zandee round out the forwards. The Vipers, who open the 54th BCHL regular season Friday night against the visiting Trail Smoke Eaters, finished the pre-season at 2-1-0-1. On Vernon’s back end are lone returnee Mitchell
Oliver and BCHL veterans Bo Pellah and Mac Ferner, both obtained in summer trades. Recruits include: Austin Cho, Griffin James, Callum Volpe, Steven Jandrik and Reece Soukoroff. Hora converted from Lambert on a two-onone for the winner at 5:55 of the second period Saturday night. McCarthy added insurance at 4:48 of the third period, assists going to Stapley and Williamson. Cipollone connected 27 seconds later, from Lambert. Shortridge went the distance, coming up big in the final 3:22 when Prince George enjoyed a 5-on-3 powerplay. The Spruce Kings outshot the Vipers 34-33. The Vipers got into Prince George late Friday night, but rushed to make opening face off and played well enough for the victory. Stapley and Soukoroff gave the Snakes a 2-0 first-period lead before Braiden Epp and Alex Stoley answered for the Spruce Kings. Finlay registered the 3-2 goal before the period ended. Volpe made it 4-2 Vernon before Corey Hoffman replied for Prince George. Williamson hit the empty net to complete the Vernon attack in front of Schamerhorn. Prince George went 1-4 in exhibition and host the expansion Wenatchee Wild in their season opener Friday night at the Coliseum. Wenatchee gave up one goal in three road wins at the Coast.

Wasylyk wonderful for Pogos Morning Star Staff
Bruising striker Mark Wasylyk pulled the hat trick as Turn-Key Controls Ogopogos ambushed the Rutland Spirit 6-3 Monday night at Beasley Park in Lake Country. The Pogos clinched a spot in the Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League’s B side final Sunday, Oct. 4 in Penticton. Duane Dennis and Roland Riedstra just missed the net on early Turn-Key chances before Rutland picked off a pass back to keeper Tim Clarke and opened the offence. Moments later, Wasylyk headed a high pass from John Garner to level the score. Ian Bos of the Pogos accepted a high pass and his attempted header went wide. Dennis, taking a feed from Bryan Schenker, buried it top cheddar to make it 2-1. Clarke made a superb save as he slid into the ball and held on shortly beforer Wasylyk sent a corker top shelf for a 3-1 Pogo lead. Crafty Rick Danyluk bent the ball into the net off a corner to make it 4-1 and then Dennis fired a pass from Riedstra inches over the crossbar. Riedstra then got a chance off a Rutland goal kick that was deflected off Schenker’s foot for a one-time scorcher top corner. However, Rutland came back to make the score 5-2 with a nifty arc over Clarke’s head and then made things interesting with a goal off a 25-yard crack. Wasylyk, who was named the Colgate Man of the Match, then took a pass from Schenker to complete his hat trick. Rutland’s keeper recorded several huge stops in the final 15 minutes with Turn-Key pressing hard. Superb defensive play for Turn-Key was demonstrated by Ruben Cervantes and Shawn Wiebe. In other B side action, the Rented Mules bounced Bosman Accounting of Vernon 5-2 at Marshall Field #2. Bosman started with 10 players and played most of the second half with only nine. After Mark Sladen was taken down, Henk Bosman converted
the penalty kick. Late in the second half, centre back Dan Rogers converted a sweet header after a gorgeous free kick taken by Gerard Geelkerken. Gerson Betman and Sladen shared Vernon Topsport’s Man of the Match. In the championship A category, Brown Benefits edged RPM Automotive 2-1 at Mission Sports Field #13. The first half was very even with both teams pressing hard and going close on several occasions. In the second half, Browns began to press harder and were eventually rewarded at 70 minutes with a penalty when Lionel Hoffman was chopped in the box and subsequently limped off to go for an xray on his ankle. Donny Brown stepped up and confidently slotted the PK past RPM keeper Marty Vincze, who had another stellar game. RPM came back fighting and were rewarded on the 80-minute mark with a tap in opportunity for Jozsef Kimpian, after a fierce free kick from Roger Russell rebounded off Browns’ fill-in keeper Steve Nader. Battting hard to retain top spot, Browns rallied one last time and on 88 minutes, Jim Kruiper calmly slotted home a Tony Gonzalez cross. With only one game left in regular-season play it may well come down to goal difference between Browns and Penticton United to decide the league champions. Penticton and the Okanagan Spring Brewery Camels didn’t play since the league failed to give notice of the make-up game to Camel manager Ron Krause, who was away on vacation. The league will rule on the foul-up soon. The North Country Appraisals Kickers won 1-0 by default over the Silver Stars. Sunshine Pools and Brandt’s Creek ran to a 4-4 draw at Mission #14. Curtis Brown, Rick Ito, Andy Macdonnell and Scott Percival scored for Sunshine, while Keith Seager (2), Lars Martens and Chad Wardman handled the Pubbers’ offence.

Knights show promise ROGER KNOX
Morning Star Staff
One win. One loss. One tie. Now it’s on to the real season for the North Okanagan Knights, who closed their Kootenay International Junior Hockey League exhibition schedule Saturday with a 4-2 win over the Chase Heat at the Art Holding Memorial Arena. “Chase played a funny, scrambly style, but give them credit. They were buzzing around, working hard on an unusual forecheck that had five guys everywhere,” said North Okanagan head coach Bryant Perrier. “Our guys got frustrated, regrouped and then we took control of the game. In the second and third period, we spent a lot of time in their end.” The teams were tied 2-2 after one (goal scorers not available) and the Knights scored two unanswered goals in the second. Returning goalie Josh Shank and Daniel Paul split the game for North Okanagan, who began the pre-season with a 6-0 loss to the Revelstoke Grizzlies, then tied the Princeton Posse 1-1.

“A win is a win,” said Perrier. “We’re showing progress here. We have to continue to keep working at what’s necessary to improve.” Goalie Jared Breitkreuz, forward Grayson McMaster and defenceman Dawson Jenner were released after the Chase game, leaving the Knights with 10 forwards, six d-men and three goalies and some cuts coming in from other KIJHL clubs as they prepare for their regular season opener Friday in Grand Forks against the Border Bruins. “At this point, we have not a bad hockey club,” said Perrier. “Our conditioning needs to improve, I’ve told the guys that, and we’re working on some on-ice stuff along with high-tempo practices. “We’re going to keep working on positive and constructive reinforcement. We’ve got work to do. Nobody’s dusting off trophies and patting themselves on the back. We need to stay humble and stay fixated on the task at hand.” Returning 20-year-old forward Kelsey Byrne has been named the Knights’ captain. Alternate captains will likely be rotated. The Knights visit Spokane Saturday and Princeton Wednesday.
Heat honour Manuel
UBCO Media Services
Heat women’s volleyball head coach Steve Manuel is one of six recipients of the 2015 UBC Okanagan Staff Awards of Excellence. Hosted each academic year by Deborah Buszard, UBC Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the Okanagan campus, the awards “… offer an opportunity to come together and honour the commitment UBC staff display every day in providing students and faculty the ingredients for success.” In 2011, when UBC Okanagan joined Canadian Interuniversity Sport — the highest level of amateur competition in Canada — Manuel’s team missed the playoffs by just a
single point. For the past two seasons, the Heat women’s volleyball team has been in the Final Four in the Canada West conference. Manuel consistently demonstrates to his team what it takes to achieve success at this level. His work has paid off, as for the past two years, the women’s volleyball squad has been nationally ranked in the top five for the bulk of the season. Manuel, who is originally from New Brunswick, is in his 15th seasonal as head coach of UBCO’s varsity women’s program. He was named Canada West and CIS coach of the year in 2013. The Heat are in pre-season mode.

Donatella Versace said, “I have worked with wool all my life as a designer. There’s so much more to it than knitwear - it’s an amazingly versatile material and can be used in so many different ways from chic to rustic.” When declarer is in trouble, he should try to pull the wool over the opponents’ eyes, in the hope that they will misdefend. What sheepish play should South try in this deal? He is in three no-trump. West leads the spade six, and declarer takes East’s 10 with his king. This was not, per se, a deal in which using Stayman had a major effect. If North
had just raised to three no-trump, West would still have led the spade six. The only drawback of North’s employing Stayman was that the defenders knew South had started with only two or three spades. Declarer began with eight top tricks: one spade (trick one), three diamonds and four clubs. He needed to get a heart trick. South adopted his best line. He played a club to the dummy and called for the heart jack, trying to look like someone about to finesse East for the queen. If a sleepy East had thought that, he would have played second hand low and the contract would have made. But an awake East had applied the Rule of Eleven
at trick one. Six from 11 is five. So there were five spades higher than the six in the North, East and South hands combined, and East had seen them all at trick one. So, West’s spades were ready to run. East grabbed the third trick and returned his spade jack to defeat the contract.

She graduated from The School of Nursing at Vancouver General Hospital in 1946 as a registered nurse and had a long career in nursing, continuing her work as a volunteer at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Betty married her sweetheart Jack in 1946, upon his return from overseas at the end of WWII. They raised their family in North Bend, BC, where they had some of their most enjoyable years together among the close CPR (Canadian Pacific Railway) community.

His original farm house still stands in Armstrong today. Betty was a classically trained pianist but loved all types of music, from folk to jazz. She particularly enjoyed seeing young people play live. Betty will be remembered for her warmheartedness, sharp intellect, good humor and strength of spirit by all who knew her.

TWO BEDROOM COACH HOUSE
T
his attractive two-storey, two-bedroom coach house features an attractive veranda with decorative railings and pilasters that wraps around two sides. The living area is all on the second floor, above the three-car garage. Entry is up a flight of outside stairs to a sheltered doorway on the side of the home. Once in the foyer, a coat closet is located to the left, together with a cupboard for the stacked washer and dryer, while the interior stairway leading down to the garage is to the right. A skylight brings natural light into the foyer and stairwell. The living room occupies the front of the house, and enjoys french doors onto the veranda, as well as two skylights. Another skylight illuminates the dining area, and still another lights the kitchen. In addition, the dining area includes windows on two sides. The kitchen is separated from the rest of the living area by a five-sided prep island. The cook will appreciate the step-saving L-shaped
counter configuration, as well as the natural light coming in from the window over the double sink. The master suite is located at the back of the homes, and features large windows that look out to the back garden. Natural light will flood into the en-suite, which includes an oval soaker tub, through a skylight. The walk-in closet will be spacious enough for clothing and accessories. The den or second bedroom includes closet space and has windows on two sides. Adjacent is a threepiece bathroom. Downstairs, the three-car garage is large enough to include space for a workshop, as well as a handy two-piece powder room. Outside, finishes include horizontal siding on the upper storey, with brick below. Decorate pilasters lend the facade the air of a Southern-style plantation dwelling. This home measure 50 feet, six inches wide and 40 feet deep, for a total of 1,476 square feet. The second-floor living area contains 1,373 square feet.
