Anti-HST rally hits streets of Vernon ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
It doesn’t matter if he’s with a handful of people at the McLeese Lake General Store, halfway between Quesnel and Williams Lake, as he was earlier in the week, or with a dozen supporters beside the Polson Park fountain at the bottom of Hospital Hill in Vernon as he was Thursday. NDP leader Adrian Dix said he’s finding support for his party’s Vote Yes to Scrap the HST campaign. “Everywhere I go we get enormous support from the small business community and from working families everywhere. This is the people’s petition,” said Dix, talking to the media and carrying placards encouraging people to vote yes in the referendum that will determine the fate of the HST tax. “We’re taking our message about the HST and why people should vote yes to scrap it to communities, and I’m out talking to people face-to-face.” Dix said the Liberals have “bungled the HST” from the beginning, and the tax has done nothing but harm families and small businesses. The Liberals passed legislation that the HST would be reduced from 12 per cent to 10 per cent but only if people of the province vote no in the referendum and opt to keep the tax. But Dix said residents should be cautious when listening to anything the government has to say about the controversial tax. “They said a no vote is a vote for lower taxes, it’s not true and people know it’s not true,” said Dix. “We need to think yes to scrap

Provincial NDP leader Adrian Dix takes a stand on the HST issue while speaking with media at an anti-HST rally Thursday on 32nd Street. the HST. If the government can get away with misleading the people on every aspect of the HST, they can get away with this and get this thing through and there will be nothing controlling what the Liberals will do.” Dix said the Liberals’ claims that the HST was revenue neutral, that new tax money would go to health care and for new buildings like the Vernon Jubilee Hospital tower, and that it would create 100,000 jobs and lower prices are all not true. Joining the NDP leader at Thursday’s noon hour
“It’s impacted a lot of my family and friends and I want people to know that this tax is no good.” — Ryan Painter rally was Ryan Painter, a 27-year-old restaurant supervisor who was taking an extended lunch to show his support for the Scrap the HST campaign. “I know the HST has affected me,” said Painter, waving to vehicles who honked their horns in support of the signs. “It’s
increased my food bill. I wanted to join a gym to get into shape but the price of gym memberships went up so I’m not able to pay for that. “I know it’s impacted a lot of my family and friends and I want people to know that this tax is no good.” That sentiment was
shared by another 20-something, Janet McInnes, a 23-year-old office worker, who also showed her support by carrying signs at the rally. “I’m out here because I think the HST is a terrible thing for B.C.,” said McInnes. “It’s affected the way I spend my money, whether at a grocery store or out for dinner. Every aspect of my life where I spend money is affected.” The referendum is being conducted by mail-in ballots and a deadline to return ballots by July 22 had been established. That date, however,
could be extended due to the Canada Post situation. Dix is hoping for an end to the postal worker lockout, and a great turnout for the referendum. “The government is hoping for a low turnout and only in a low turnout will they win,” said Dix. “This is the people’s referendum. I believe, from the bottom of my heart, the HST is bad for them, bad for the economy, bad for working families and bad for small business. “We’ve made our case. That’s why people signed the petition (for a referendum).”

It might have looked like a gift for a baby, but it’s the last thing a newborn could use. A Vernon man has a court date in September on a recommended charge of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking following an incident in Lake Country June 16. Central Okanagan Traffic Services pulled over a white Chevy pickup that was speeding on Highway 97 near Lodge Road in Lake Country. While dealing with the 31-year-old male driver, the officer detected the unmistakable odour of vegetative marijuana coming from within the vehicle. The officer placed the driver under arrest for possession. The driver then retrieved a shoe boxsized package that had been gift wrapped with baby gift wrapping on it which featured soothers and yellow rubber duckies on the wrapping. The driver handed the “gift” to the officer, indicating it as the source of the odour. Inside the “gift” was a pound of processed, dried marijuana. The driver was released on a promise to appear in court in September. He also received a speeding ticket.

Lake rise causing flood concerns JENNIFER SMITH Black Press
Water levels in Okanagan Lake rose by another two centimetres last weekend as surrounding areas try to stave off flood damage. Joe Creron, the City of Kelowna director of civic operations, said he’s been told lake levels have only reached heights similar to the present condition six times in the last century. All the municipality and B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations can do is minimize damage, he said, noting preventing any impact altogether is no longer an option. “It’s a balancing act,” he said. “It’s just not something that’s very simple.” The ministry handles the water system valley-wide and must ensure that overflow in Vernon or Kelowna doesn’t simply pass down the line to Penticton where it could cause Skaha Lake to overflow, pushing the problem further south, even as far as the American border. Water levels in Kelowna are currently eight centimetres above a full pool and the snowpack has not melted. To mitigate the problem, the City of Kelowna is pumping storm drains in the downtown core to try and protect critical infrastructure like city hall and the RCMP station, but flooding did occur last week at both the Water Street Seniors’ Centre and

All it would take for more flooding is a snap hot spell to cause a rapid snow melt or heavy rains to push water levels higher, Creron said. Those with waterfront property are asked to keep any wood or debris on the beach to prevent erosion.

Victim assaulted in break-in Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP have one man in custody and are looking for a second in connection with a residential break-and-enter Thursday. Police received a report of a break-in at a home in the 3600 block of 30th Avenue at 2:30 a.m. “The caller advised that a neighbour came to her door, he was bloody and asked her to call the police as two men broke into his unit and beat him up,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The victim reported the suspects entered through a window, he was assaulted and received a cut over his eye. The 48-year-old victim was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for treatment to his injuries. The suspects took the victim’s wallet during the robbery. One of the suspects was described as having a goatee and a tattoo on his neck. A man matching the description of one of
“Two men broke into his unit and beat him up.” — Gord Molendyk the suspects was located a short time later in the downtown core. “The suspect ran as the police approached him, but he was caught and arrested right away for robbery, break-and-enter, assault with a weapon, aggravated assault, resisting arrest, and breach of an undertaking,” said Molendyk. The 40-year-old suspect, who is well-known to police, was slated to appear in Vernon Provincial Court Thursday. The second suspect has been identified by police but remains at large.
Suspected thief makes his rounds Morning Star Staff
He’s well-known to Kamloops police and now Vernon RCMP are getting acquainted with a suspect in a stolen vehicle case. The incident started Monday at 2:25 p.m. when a citizen contacted the Vernon detachment to report he thought he saw two men attempting to break into a car in the area of 32nd Avenue and 29th Street. “The two men were located nearby, and while the police were speaking to them they noticed one male had a number of items that appeared to have been stolen,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.
The 21-year-old suspect was from Kamloops, so Vernon officers contacted the Kamloops detachment and were advised this person was a suspect is several thefts in their area. He was transported back to Kamloops for their investigation. The second man was interviewed and later released by the Vernon RCMP. Twelve hours later, at around 2:45 a.m. Tuesday, Vernon officers noticed a dark-coloured pickup on 24th Avenue. When they checked the licence plate, it came back as stolen out of Kamloops on June 20. “The officer activated his
emergency equipment,” said Molendyk. “The truck attempted to take off and turn onto 43rd Street. The vehicle hit a construction fence and became high centered on a concrete block. “The driver was apprehended and our officers learned it was the suspect they had released earlier in the evening.” Molendyk said the 28-yearold suspect is from Kamloops and is well-known to police there. The suspect appeared in Vernon Provincial court today and at the time of this report remains in custody.
NIXON WENGER

is pleased to announce that
Mountie fighting assault charge KATHY MICHAELS Black Press
A Kelowna Mountie intends to fight at least one of the assault charges against him. Defence attorney Neville McDougall appeared in court Tuesday afternoon to enter a plea of not guilty relating to Const. Geoff Mantler’s alleged Aug. 30, 2010 assault of Manjeet Singh Bhatti. It should officially be entered into record during an arraignment hearing scheduled for July 12. What the disgraced Mountie will plead that same day for the charge related to kicking Buddy Tavares in the head while he was submitting to arrest last January, however, remains to be seen. McDougall said he’s yet to wade through the 2,000 page disclosure, let alone the audio and video transcript associated with the file. “The Tavares disclosure is extensive,” he told the court. Should that material lead to Mantler pleading not guilty, a trial would be triggered and McDougall said that it’s bound to be a “multi-day” affair. It’s also bound to be the subject of intense interest. Mantler’s case captured the attention of the nation after video footage showed the police officer kicking a prone Tavares in the head during a roadside arrest. A charge against Tavares was eventually dropped, but Mantler, from Armstrong, has continued to get more deeply entrenched in the legal system as more complaints of misconduct came to the fore.
Only two amounted to legal action but the officer, who has been with the Mounties three years, was suspended from duty shortly after footage was released. He was subject to an internal investigation and eventually had his wage suspended.

My left foot
W
ent for a run for the first time in nearly half a year the other day. The layoff wasn’t due to laziness, but more because, for the past few months, I’ve had a spike permanently lodged in the arch of my left foot. It began in January when I was playing ball hockey, something I have been doing off and on for the past few years with a regular group of guys. The morning after one of our weekly sesGraeme Corbett sions, I stepped out of bed and was greeted by this stabbing pain in the bottom of my foot as soon as it touched the chilly laminate floor. The first few steps were irritating, but after I walked the dog, the pain usually subsided and I simply got on with my day. Some days it would flare up, sometimes it felt fine. It remained that way for several weeks, and once I realized it wasn’t going to heal on its own, I decided to take action by booking a physiotherapy appointment. After analyzing my stride and foot mobility, my physio prescribed some stretches and exercises to loosen up the muscles. She then taped my foot to relieve some of the burden on my arch. And I was supposed to take it easy with my running, which was a little problematic as I was planning to train for my first marathon, the Royal Victoria in October. I dragged myself through the BMO half marathon in Kelowna last Thanksgiving and was determined to be better prepared this time around. So much for that idea. But by dutifully following the stretching regime and resting the problem foot, it soon began to feel better. After a week of pain-free mobility, I decided to give ball hockey another go. Big mistake. I didn’t even make it through warm-up before I could feel my foot acting up. I played anyway and regretted it the next
AT RANDOM
day. Feeling like I was back at square one, I became frustrated, gave up on it and spent the subsequent few months hobbling around it as best I could. Then something momentous happened – I turned 35. As our sports editor, Kevin Mitchell, graciously pointed out, I can now officially play oldtimers soccer. Kev’s not far from being eligible to perform one-act plays at the B.C. Seniors Games, so he speaks from considerable experience. But I have photographed the 35+ soccer guys for the paper and know how good (and competitive) some of those players are. It did get me thinking – I’m still relatively young, but my body is already throwing up some warning signs that I had better start taking care of it, or it might escalate from a minor foot rebellion into a full-blown uprising. So back to physio I went, only this time I added a dose of sports massage to improve my chances of complete recovery. If you have never had it, sports massage is anything but relaxing. There are no hot rocks or scented candles, and you won’t hear the sound of a babbling brook or other forest sounds in the background sending you into meditative bliss. Even if there was, you wouldn’t notice because I can guarantee your focus will be solely aimed at the intense sensation of muscle being “stripped” from your body. I joked with Jennifer Bond, owner of Foothills Massage Therapy, that she would make an excellent interrogator for the CIA. As is her trade, she finds the problem areas and attacks them mercilessly with pin-point precision and a talon-like grip. The results are worth it. I am already starting to feel results from the one-two punch of physio and massage, evidenced by the lack of pain after my most recent run. My lungs certainly complained after the long layoff, and I have my doubts whether I’ll be ready for a fall marathon, but I think I’m on the right track.
After debating back-to-work legislation into the wee hours of the night, postal workers could be forced back to work soon. While many (particularly CUPW members) are outraged at the “bullying” government tactics, this could be a necessary step to save Canada Post. Or is it too late? Even before the strike, the prospect of mail had been shelved in many households. E-mail obviously took over sending a friendly letter in the mail long ago for many of us and internet billing has become the norm. It’s not the case for everyone, but many have adapted the paperless trail. Therefore the amount of mail going into the system has obviously decreased. Then the postal strike happened. Utility and service companies have taken the opportunity to get more customers online with bill payments and mass e-mails have been sent out. With the loss of the beloved Canada Post service and in a panic to get their bills paid and avoid penalties, some customers were forced to turn to paperless. Environmentally it also makes sense – less paper. Efficiency is also a bonus, since mailing a bill can take anywhere from a few days to longer, depending on where you’re sending it. Then there’s the issue of trust. Some people may start swearing off snail mail simply because their once-trusted service has let them down with this latest interruption. Therefore, and ironically, fewer customers are likely to cause some cuts at Canada Post. It’s time to get back to work for the good of everyone involved.

Councillor defends expenses
I
n response to Mr. Hegler's recent letter in The Morning Star and concerns about my expenses, I am providing here an explanation of the total number of meetings I attended and reasons for them. As I have already stated, "I make no apologies for trying to be better informed, in order to make better decisions." Displayed on my web page: www.besso.ca, there is a chart listing remuneration amounts for Greater Vernon politicians. The chart speaks for itself: In terms of expenses as well as total remuneration, I am fifth from the bottom in relation to the others. In 2010, I attended 196 meetings. Most of these meetings are two hours or more, plus preparation time before, and follow up time after. Of these meetings, 41 qualified for the $131.68 meeting pay, 151 meetings did not. The (Regional District) RDNO and (Greater Vernon) GVAC meetings are often long, and have important presentations from staff and public on parks and water. For Coldstream taxpayers, RDNO and GVAC taxes represent 30 per cent of our total tax bill. That is equivalent to 62 per cent of the dollar value we pay for the municipal Coldstream taxes portion of our tax bill. The one designated Coldstream rep. on RDNO has a large responsibility, and does a great job, but often another set of eyes and ears helps for more informed discussions and decision making at our council meetings. You cannot capture all the information in the minutes and a five-minute summary. Coldstream’s remuneration policy encourages councillors who can, to attend and be better informed on regional and Greater Vernon issues. I am the alternate for the Greater Vernon Parks Review, and need to be well informed to protect Coldstream’s taxpayer’s interests. THANK YOU Independent Living Vernon would like to thank the 104 cyclists, volunteers and donors who were involved with the recent 12th Annual Cycling for Independence. A full list of donations can be seen on our website at www.ilvernon.ca. This event was successful only because of the tremendous support it was provided. The unfortunate accident that caused the loss of one of our avid cyclists, Byron Chatham, was indeed on many of our minds prior to and on the day of the event. Those of us who knew him likely all felt his presence. He supported the event by raising significant funds for us over the six years that he was involved. He was eagerly awaiting partaking in this year's 50K cycle. He will be greatly missed. I know his family, including his parents Roy and Linda Chatham, and his sister, Laura, would also like to give a big thank you to the community and friends for their support and donations.

As for the Regional Library (ORL), it has been a very busy year, in great part because they are building the new Vernon branch. I made many trips to attend meetings in Kelowna for the Vernon Building Committee, plus I sit on the Library Finance, and Strategic Planning Committees. Further I attend four ORL Board meetings per year. On top of the 17 meetings in 2010, I was compensated in 2010 for eight ORL meetings from 2009 because I had never put in for pay for those meetings. The reason I had not put in for any meeting pay until September 2010, is that until then I was unaware of the Coldstream policy to compensate the rep. for those meetings, and I had been innocently attending for free. Perhaps this clarification can help explain to you and the electorate, Mr. Hegler, why my wages at $15,996 may seem high compared to Councillor Cochrane’s $8,885. As for my 2010 expenses of $3,360, these are calculated as the expenses attributed to me for attending meetings or conferences sanctioned by council. For 2010 these were: a one-day transportation meeting in Kelowna; a 3.5 day Southern Interior Local Government’s Association Conference, and a 3.5 day Union of B.C. Municipalities Conference. These expenses include the 'Conference Fees', and the 'accommodation fees', a 52 cents per km mileThe 12th annual Cycling for Independence raised more than $10,000. Funds raised will go to support IL Vernon's Youth Opportunities Unlimited (YOU) group, which supports youth with a variety of disabilities build on their skills to further independence. I look forward to seeing all of you again for the 13th Annual Cycling for Independence, May 6, 2012. Again, thank you. Lisa Kongsdorf, special events coordinator, Independent Living Vernon FORGET ABOUT IT During the city budget process the mayor and council voted to approve the purchase of a water truck for the Okanagan Landing Fire Hall for $270,000. This was in addition to the general budget. The water truck being replaced is a 1975 IHC with probably no miles on it. My first thought was, why are we buying a new

age charge, and a $100 per diem for any other expenses. There is no meeting pay for these meetings. Councillors who have a regular job or business, have to take time off work to attend, and therefore, it actually costs them money. This is the reason why my ‘expenses’ appear higher than the mayor’s; I do not have to take time off from a business or work in order to attend, so when I am sent to a conference I am able to attend the full time in order to acquire the most information and knowledge and take it back to my council for the benefit of the taxpayer. In my case I give of my time, and expertise, and that can be more precious than money. But I should mention that my time is not free, I too have other things I could be doing with my time. Now you may wonder why my fellow Councillors, Enns and Cochrane, actually defended my salary and expenses. I believe the reason is because they know and value how much work I do, and they realize that it is beneficial and necessary for Coldstream to be represented at these conferences (witness the Grid Road funding, Hwy 6 improvement funding, meeting and networking with other elected officials and ministry staff). Our council works as a team, some of us offer expertise, some of us offer our time, some offer wisdom, it is all a balance. I know that there have been some politicians who have abused expense accounts, meeting pay and perks. I am not one of them. I welcome it when the public holds those people to account. For my part, I know that my council has full knowledge and support for all the meetings and conferences that I attended. Mr. Hegler, I offer no apologies because I have a clear conscience. If you think you can offer better value to the voters, I would welcome you running on that platform at the next election. Maria Besso, Coldstream Councillor water truck as opposed to a newer used one for say, $75,000 to $100,000. Now the price of this water truck has suddenly risen to $360,000. New vehicles of any size have decreased in price due to a stronger Canadian dollar or competition in the economy today. Was a used alternative explored at all? Councilor Jack Gilroy says we need to review the time frame when making purchases because in six short months the prices go crazy. If anyone can tell me what has gone crazy in the past six months to generate a $90,000 increase on a piece of equipment, please explain. I say, cancel the deal altogether and find a used alternative at a price that we the taxpayers can swallow during a time when all of us in the private sector are having to suck it up. Give yourselves all a reality check and quit spending our money in such a reckless manner. Bruce Davies

Plate checks nab unlicensed drivers, speeders Morning Star Staff
A three-day traffic enforcement campaign by local RCMP gives an indication of why traffic safety is one of the top priorities for the Vernon-North Okanagan detachment. Local police have three units dedicated to traffic safety: North Okanagan Traffic Services, Integrated Road Services Unit and the Automated License Plate Recognition program. On June 8, June 10 and June 11, two of the units ran more than 4,100 plates in our area. Over that three-day span, police issued 12 driver’s license offences and wrote seven tickets for speeding. One ticket was issued for excessive speed-
“We want the motoring public to have a safe summer on our roads” — Gord Molendyk ing (174km/h in 90 zone) and, according to police, this driver was a passenger in a highspeed fatal crash one year ago. Seven motorists were written up for no insurance offences, three people were driving without vehicle licenses and four vehicles were ticketed for vehicle defects (13 other vehicles were given warnings for vehicle
defects). One commercial vehicle was overloaded, six drivers were given alcohol-related suspensions and one driving prohibition was served on a driver. There were 23 other vehicles that were stopped after hits being received that the owner (or primary operator) was prohibited or not in possession of a valid license. During these stops officers found that it was not the indicated person who was driving. “One of the most common hits is for no driver’s license,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “This can include people who don’t have a valid license, as well as people who are to be served prohibition
notices. “These types of hits are also received when the registered owner does not have a valid B.C. license related to the vehicle. We see this when someone from Alberta has a B.C. registered vehicle that they use when visiting here.” Molendyk said all the traffic units will continue to work in the North Okanagan to assist in road safety initiatives to reduce speed and crashes. “We want the motoring public to have a safe summer on our roads,” he said. So far this year, there have been nine recorded deaths on local roadways, matching the number for all of 2010.

Mother Nature has provided some challenges for Silver Star Mountain Resort’s mountain bike park officials. But those challenges have been met as the bike park opens for the summer season this morning at 10 a.m. “We’ll have 80 per cent of the trails open and things look pretty good considering what Mother Nature has dealt us,” said bike park director Cam Sorensen Thursday. “We’ve had a lot of snow melt and a lot of rain and, normally, the Okanagan weather dries things out but it’s just not drying out this year. We have soft wet spots we’re dealing with more than anything.” Through the efforts of the trail crews, patrollers and volunteers, the bike park trails that will be open will be to the standard mountain bike enthusiasts have come to expect from one of the premier bike parks in the province. Sorensen asks cyclists to respect the trails that are still closed. “First off, the trails probably still have snow on them. They may look clear from where you are standing but 100-metres down we may still be digging,” he said. “Two, they may have large sink holes that have not dried out yet because we have only had a handful of dry days. “They may also have logs or other debris around a blind corner we have not had time to walk down yet.” A list of open trails will be available at the ticket window and at the bottom of the chairlift. Hiking trails are all open with the odd snow section you may have to walk over, mainly at the top. Silver Star’s mountain bike park is open everyday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through the Labour Day weekend, and there will be two bonus weekends of riding and hiking in September.

Lost friend keeps athlete on track Hatt races in memory of Sakakibara Sunday ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
It was a friendship borne at the gym. Julie Sakakibara would go to Breakaway Fitness early in the morning for a workout and would be greeted with a smile and “How’s it going?” at the facility’s front desk by Breakaway employee Jes Hatt. It went that way for months. Sakakibara would ask Hatt, 36, training for his first-ever triathlon in the summer of 2011, how his workouts were going. They would talk workouts, life, their common affection for the Vancouver Canucks. Then they would discuss sickness. Sakakibara was diagnosed with leukemia in 2010 and was moved to Vancouver General Hospital. It was Hatt who shot a “Get Well Julie” video at the gym, featuring Sakakibara’s workout partners and gym members she didn’t know. It was Hatt, joined in Vancouver by fellow Breakaway members Howie Finch, Lyle Finch and Greg Olson, who delivered the video, movies and get-wellsoon cards to Sakakibara at VGH. And it was Hatt who sent Sakakibara a skipping rope for motivation as she recovered. “When we went, we went for two days, visited Julie and she was getting better. She was coming out of it,” said Hatt. “Then she got worse, and the doctor said there was nothing he could do for her anymore. A week later, she

Not one for public speaking, Hatt spoke at Sakakibara’s Celebration of Life, at the request of her family, in front of 400 people. He called it a great honour. Before his friend’s illness, completing a triathlon was a personal goal Hatt, a budding fitness trainer, set for himself. Now, to further honour the memory of his friend, Hatt continues to train for that triathlon, the Kal RATS event slated for Sunday at Kin Beach in Okanagan Landing. It’s an event he has dedicated to finishing, and dedicated to the memory of his friend. “She was such a great person, I just want to do something nice for her,” said the softspoken Hatt, a former hockey goalie and huge Vancouver Canucks fan. “It’s something I really want to do.” Hatt works out twoto-three times a day, and trains for all three triathlon disciplines – swimming, cycling and running – two-to-three times a week. The discipline he’s been working
on the hardest has been the swimming.
He already feels like his late friend has been
guiding him during training. “I definitely feel her spirit with me,” said Hatt. “I was out riding my bike to Ellison Park with a friend when a deer ran across the road in front of us, and then it was running beside me. I felt like it was Julie there with me.” Hatt, who has quietly been collecting pledges for the event, which he’ll donate to the Canadian Cancer Society, believes Julie will be with him when he enters the cool waters of Okanagan Lake on the morning of June 26.

Lake flooding breeds more mosquitoes JUDIE STEEVES Black Press
Better get used to the annoying buzz of the mosquito. Like the insect itself, its eggs are particularly stubborn, remaining viable for years after they were laid, until the spot they’re on is flooded again, and provides the habitat they require to reach the next stage of life. So, with this year’s flooding all around the edge of Okanagan Lake, land that hasn’t had water on it for years is suddenly ideal mosquito habitat and even old eggs are coming to life. Kevin Touchet, manager, environmental health with Interior Health, warns it could be a nasty mosquito year, particularly for the aedes or floodwater mosquito. Although some say their eggs can hatch 20 years after first being laid, if conditions are right, Touchet says there’s a decrease in viability after a time. However, certainly eggs laid a few years ago will still be viable and could hatch this year with high water in valley lakes inundating new ground. “Whenever there’s high water there are more hatches of mosquitoes because there’s more breeding ground available for them,” he explained. The good news is — that is not the species of mosquito that is of particular concern to Interior Health because it doesn’t usually carry the West Nile virus. The culex tarsalis
“Whenever there’s high water there’s more hatches of mosquitoes.” — Kevin Touchet mosquito, which prefers stagnant water with lots of organic matter such as swamps, is the common carrier of West Nile virus. However, the culex pipiens or house mosquito is also a carrier and its numbers can generally be reduced by being vigilant in your own backyard. Empty the birdbath every few days and keep water from collecting and staying in flower pot saucers, eavestroughs, old tires, pool liners, children’s toys, and wherever water can pool up, he advises. Culex species tend to hatch during warmer weather, so August is a time for more concern than June. “The key to preventing West Nile virus is in your own backyard,” said Touchet. “We’re not trying to eliminate mosquitoes, so people need to protect themselves with window screens, and by avoiding outdoor activities when mosquitoes are most active, at dusk and dawn. They prefer dark clothing, so avoid that.” Only the females suck blood because they require a blood meal in order to lay their eggs. Interior Health is working with local government to conduct larviciding of known breeding sites, and IH staff are doing some mosquito trapping and
monitoring for the virus. Both culex species prefer birds although they will go after humans, while the aedes prefers humans. WNV is a disease of birds that is spread
by mosquitoes, so the insect would have to bite a bird and then a human to spread the disease. It’s usually fatal to corvids such as jays, blackbirds and magpies, There is an online site for reporting dead corvids but Touchet said they are not collecting birds any more because they know that the virus is in the Okanagan now.

BUY-LOW FOODS Everett Brierley, two, takes a leisurely stroll with his grandpa Don Boult during the Do It For Dad Run and Walk Sunday morning at Coldstream Ranch. Hayden Truscott (below), five, and his mom Tami show their support at the event which raised more than $24,000.
Father’s Day event makes a difference People once again did it for dad and, in the process, raised money for a vital piece of surgical equipment at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. The Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation and the Vernon Prostate Cancer Support & Awareness Group would like to thank all of the sponsors, volunteers and participants who made the 12th Annual Do It For Dad walk/run fundraiser Sunday at Coldstream Ranch such a success. “The event not only raised over $24,000 that stays locally in our community, but was also successful in creating awareness around the need for early detection of prostate cancer,” said Andrea Egan with the foundation. The event drew more than 300 people and raised funds to buy a resectoscope, used in the treatment of prostate cancer and to provide free PSA testing for men in our community. The top individual fundraiser was Marnie MacKenzie, raising more than $3,000, with the Edwards family taking the top fundraising team for the second year in a row bringing in $270 in pledges. The top results in the eight-km Run saw Gareth Armanious covering the course in 34 minutes and 37 seconds, followed by Dan Kunzelman (35:35) in second and Dave Morrice placing third with a time of 35:54. Anita Markson placed
first in the female division in 41 minutes 24 seconds, with Trinity Smith right behind her in second place in 41 minutes 25 seconds and Irena McDonald placing third in 41:32. Everyone participating in the event was eligible to receive a voucher redeemable for one PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test. The voucher will be honoured at the downtown lab (9 – 3100 35th Street) or Vernon Jubilee Hospital Lab until the end of 2011.
Fresh From The Pantry This Week This weekʼs home-cooked favourite from The Pantry is carved turkey and apple sage stuffing piled onto French bread, smothered in gravy and served with cranberry sauce and endless fries. Join us for a delicious home made meal you donʼt have to make at home.

United shuts down Controllers Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Square Liquor Store North Okanagan United blazed the field with fantastic passes, continual communication and all-around sweet plays against the Tillicum Controllers Tuesday night. NOU’s reward was a 2-1 upset victory over the top-seeded Controllers in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division play at Marshall Field #4. United’s first goal, in the 10th minute, was a beauty off a ground pass by Sarah Kwantes to speedster Melissa Jacobs, who caught first-time keeper Jody Pope off her line. Their winning tally, later in the half, was also pretty as Jacobs fed Shelley Henry, who pounded a big cross, hit the outside post, and watched the ball miraculously roll into the net. It was an entertaining game between two fun teams full of respect and sportsmanship. Stand-in coaches Sue Barss and Kim Cooper were very happy with the win, and used all their resources as NOU improved to 4-5-1. “Dar Wiese was outstanding in net and stopped the few direct attacks,” said Barss. “The NOU defence was stellar, like a moat surrounding a castle, with Karen Benn, Penney Crebo-Dolman, Pat Neilson, Shelly Johnston and Tania Willett the soldiers. “We received great plays by Rita Tedesco, Lena Dean, Carla Gibson and Wendy Stevens offensively creating play after play. Shelley Henry, Char McNaught and Cheryl Roddis kept the balls up and out to the sides for constant attacks.” After a miserable first half, the Controllers regained their form and dominated the second. Newcomer Jenny Currie had lots of chances and finally buried one, taking a long ball from Michelle Wernicke and breaking in alone before driving it past Wiese. The 7-2-1 Controllers directed a lot of balls towards the net, but Wiesse was rock solid, turning back attack after attack as the Controllers looked to equalize. After being challenged early, Brandie Hunter and Wernicke responded with strong performances, shutting down the NOU attack in the second half. The Okanagan Impact brushed back Monashee’s 2-1 at Marshall #3. Jodi Hawthorne connected on a 40-yard rocket for the Impact’s opening strike, while calm and cool Minda Chittenden converted a penalty shot as the Impact went to 6-3-1. “Excellent play was turned in by the lovely and talented Kris Ponto in midfield,” said Impact coach Mike Sandstra. “We hit the crossbar twice and the post three times. The score does not reflect the play. Great game ladies.” Rene Cook responded for Monashee’s, who dropped to 3-6-2. The Vernon Chick Kickers upended host Shuswap Kaos 3-2 in Salmon Arm.

Vernon’s Jenny Garnett showed her athleticism on a goal-mouth scramble, scissor kicking a shot to open the scoring. Early in the second half, Kaos surged in front with a pair of unanswered goals. The Chicks refocused their efforts and were rewarded when Crystal Bergman delivered a nice corner kick to Jen Sorochuck, who headed it in for a great finish. Fiesty Kelly Challen converted a penalty kick for the winner after she was hauled down in the box. Kaos dipped to 1-7-2. In Competitive Division action, the AF Blazers pulled off a 1-1 tie against the Little Tex Outlaws in a hard-fought battle Tuesday night at Marshall #2. The 1-4-3 Blazers opened the scoring with a feather through pass from Angie Mendes to Delihna Erbenich, who blasted through the Little Tex line and converted. Shortly after, Little Tex equalized when Lyndsay Lee sent a hard shot to the bottom corner just out of the reach of keeper Eileen Pellicca. Amanda Swales and Bettina Berger were out-
standing on defence for the Blazers, while Samantha Greene, Janna Cummings and Samantha Dally held the midfield. Jenny Hatten, Ally Cummings and Paula Brownlee had strong games. Ali Clarke had several scoring opportunities. Pellicca was phenomenal, making several key saves. Lee was stellar in the middle for the 4-3-1 Outlaws, creating several scoring opportunities and unleashing some great shots. Christine Fraser was strong up front, had some solid shots and created many chances. Keeper Gineil Ferrier recorded several great saves to keep Little Tex in the game. Alanna Rehman pulled the hat trick as Dr. Lee Dental/Checkers ambushed the North Enderby Timber Celtics 8-1 at Marshall #1. University of Idaho Vandal alumni Andi King dominated the forward line, scoring two and setting up Madison Kaneda for two others, as the 6-2 Floss Crew, down 1-0 early, tired out the 1-7 Celtics, who had no subs. Kirsten Dodds had the other goal.
A total of four Vernon golfers have qualified for the 2011 B.C. Men’s Amateur, July 12-15, at The Dunes in Kamloops. Brad Jones was seventh in a field of 52 and top local, with rounds of 72-78-150 at Canoe Creek Golf Course in Salmon Arm. Jones had the second-low round, behind winner Cody Bell of Salmon Arm (71-73-144) on Monday. Kowan O’Keefe of Shuswap Lake Estates was runner-up at 73-73-146, followed by Shawn Vanderwal of Kamloops, at 74-72146, and Chad Belbin of Kamloops, at 74-73147. Connor Kozak and Justin Wurz, both of Vernon, shared 14th spot at 76-77-153, while Vernon’s David Szestopalow tied for 20th at 79-76-155, to also earn a berth in the B.C. Amateur. Meanwhile, Hillview pro Keith Vandenbrink shot a 2-over 74 Monday in the Golden Pro-Am, pocketing $600. Vandenbrink recorded four birdies, but had a triple-bogey seven on his second-last hole after missing the fairway with his drive. He also had ne $20 skin. Scott Shouldice shot a 70 to win the pro division, three strokes up on Dan Cameron of Calgary.

Meteor batters bombard Jays Morning Star Staff
The Johnston Meier Insurance Meteors won their opening Bantam baseball playoff game 10-9 over Kelowna Jays Tuesday night at Marshall Field. The Meteors’ bats continued to sizzle with Tyler Wiebe, Jordy Griffiths and Shelby Hartwig all perfect at the plate. Wiebe and Hartwig collected two ribbies each, and Griffiths showed great leather in the infield, making great plays and putting the tag on a couple of base stealers. The turning point came in the fourth inning when Lucas Colgan smacked a tworun double to give the Meterors the lead. Starting on the mound was Tayler Elliot, who pitched a solid three innings before Wiebe came in for the last two innings, striking out four. The C&A Contracting Royals continued their winning ways with a 12-11 clipping of the Dominion Securities Reds in Pee Wee playoff action Tuesday night at Creekside Park. The Royals were

Joey Kohut scored three times, while
Nesbitt, Bailey Wellman and Chad Walker each scored twice. Clinton Minamide, Jackson Brownrigg, Chris Dlouhy and Kaden Costigan also contributed runs and solid defence for the Royals. Tony Campen scored twice for the Reds and

Legends lock up first place Morning Star Staff
The Nor-Val Rentals/ Hi-Pro Pee Wee A2 Legends brushed back the Kelowna Kodiaks 8-7 in a make-up Pee Wee A2 lacrosse game Tuesday night at Civic Arena, earning first place at 10-0-2. The Legends came out hard and never trailed, using clutch defence to fend off a strong Kodiaks’ push for the equalizer. It was the Legends’ first win over the Kodiaks this season. Goals came from Jake Pelletier (2+1), Conor Webb and Jayden Hunter, each with 1+2, Brady Marzocco, Stephane Richard and Jaxson Cummings, all with 1+1, and Dawson Boyce. “Both North Okanagan and Kelowna are very equal teams using different systems,” said Legends’ head coach Harold Mann. “We look forward to the provincial championships coming here next month (July 6-8) and believe the Kelowna Kodiaks are favoured to be the second team that will qualify for our zone.” Said assistant coach Kent Connors: “The local zone will be represented by two strong teams and hope to do well. Our team is looking good going into the provincials with one player – Nicholas Mann – mending injury from a game last Saturday in Armstrong. We are hoping he will be ready to play as his strong defensive style of play will be greatly needed.”
The North Okanagan Just Rocks Pee Wee 3 Legends were all over the map on Sunday with a 9-2 win over the Kelowna Kodiaks, then falling 6-4 to the Penticton Heat, at Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Legends gave the Kodiaks the boot in their first game as Tiege Doughty and Curtis Hubert started things off with a goal each in the first period. Doughty was superb with two more in the second for his hat trick. Captain Chandler Seely netted a goal in the second as well, assisted by Rhys Larsen. It was a close game until the Kodiaks went into hibernation in the third period and the Legends reeled off four goals. Dylan Duval supplied the first one, assisted by Tanner Gilbert. Gilbert fired the next one, with assists from Hubert and Seth Waterstreet. Hubert got another with help from Gilbert, while Stirling Peters ended the scoring with an assist from Doughty. Goalie Brad Gorrigan was on top of his game. The second game of the day found the Legends sweating it out against The Heat with Doughty jumpstarting the attack only 18 seconds in. The Legends didn’t register another goal until Evan Winther scored midway through the second period. The Legends tried to rally in the third period with Doughty and Winther each scoring, but ran out of steam. Kudos went to Chelsea Landry for outstanding work on defence.
outlasted the Union Securities Yankees 9-7 Monday night at Lakeview Park. The Yankees led by two runs after three innings before the Red Sox battled back, getting three shutout innings from Eric Colwell.
Also pitching for the Red Sox were Karim Lubbers, Maguire Lauridsen and Maguire McIntosh. The Sox offence was sparked by Jaden Parsons and Jeff Estrada, with a strong showing by Caden Bracken on defence.
Win and they’re in. The Armstrong Shamrocks can seal second place in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League with a win over the visiting South Okanagan Flames tonight at NorVal Sports Centre. Along with it would come a coveted firstround playoff bye. The 11-2 Kelowna Raiders have already secured first place, and the other bye. The bottom four teams will play best-ofthree series in the first round. An Armstrong loss would give the thirdplace Kamloops Venom (7-6-1) a chance to leapfrog the Rocks (7-5-2) in the standings. Kamloops hosts the Vernon Tigers Saturday at Memorial Arena. The fourth-place Cats (5-7-1), in the midst of a three-game slide, needed a win over the Raiders Thursday night to have any chance at surpassing the Venom heading into their final regular-season showdown Saturday. The Shamrocks are winless in their last two outings.

over the next number of seasons.� Like many Viper alumni, Gordon continues to follow the team’s success, including this year’s remarkable run to the RBC in Camrose. “My girlfriend actually cried when they lost in the final game (against the Pembroke Lumber Kings),� he said. Gordon also credits the organization for giving him a better outlook on life. “It was amazing; it’s not just the hockey, it’s the people. Ferns (Mark Ferner, head coach), Willy (Jason Williamson, assistant) and Duncan (Wray, owner) don’t just teach you how to be a better hockey player, they make you a better person. “It’s the best thing that could have happened.� Gordon will study communications at SFU, and then plans to transfer into BCIT’s Broadcast and Media Communications program once he has attained his degree.
A pair of Vernon Viper products are part of a select group of B.C. Hockey Leaguers hoping to hear their names called tonight at the NHL Entry Draft at the Xcel Energy Centre in St. Paul, Minn. Viper grad Sahir Gill and blueliner Ryan Renz are among a talented pack of seven players listed in the final Central Scouting rankings of North American skaters. Gill, a Terrace native, notched six goals and 19 assists in a solid freshman season with the Boston University Terriers. Renz, who came to Vernon from the Alberni Valley Bulldogs (via the Prince George Spruce Kings) at the trade deadline, posted a goal and three assists in 13 regular-season games with the
Snakes. He stepped up his play in their run to a third straight Royal Bank Cup. Highest on the Central Scouting list is Victoria Grizzlies’ forward Joel Lowry. He is the son of former NHLer and current Calgary Flames assistant, Dave Lowry, and is slated 95th among Canadian and U.S. skaters. The 6-foot-2, 185-pounder is committed to Cornell University for the fall. Destry Straight of the Coquitlam Express is listed at 100th. He was voted the Coastal Conference Rookie of the Year after putting up 26 goals and 41 assists in 59 games this year. He is headed to the Boston College Eagles next season. Also listed are Westside Warriors’ defenceman Michael King, Victoria forward Pearce Eviston and Trail Smoke Eaters right winger Joey Baker.

Graeme Gordon thought his days of playing competitive hockey were all but over. After enduring a lukewarm season playing marginal minutes with the UBC Thunderbirds, the former Vernon Viper netminder thought he might be relegated to rec league status. That’s when he rekindled a dialogue with Jeff Dubois, general manager of the Simon Fraser University Clan men’s team, and secured himself a scholarship for the coming season. “I just went and found a better situation. Less bridges to travel over to get to school too,� grinned Gordon. The 22-year-old North Vancouver product will play in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League, a step below Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) where the T-Birds play, but he’s fine with that. “It’s part of who I am and I can’t imagine not playing it, so it’s nice to be able to keep playing and have some fun.� Last season, the Clan finished second in the seven-team BCIHL at 18-4-2, and then won the playoff championship by grounding the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack 5-2 in the final game. “It’s not as deep, but most teams’ top two lines are pretty good junior A players. It should be some decent hockey,� said Gordon, who is working construction in the offseason. Playing with the Clan, Gordon says he will be reunited with several teammates from his Midget days. There are also a few former BCHL grads on the roster, including Mitch Labreche (Victoria Grizzlies/Powell River Kings), Christopher Hoe (Salmon Arm SilverBacks), Taylor Swaffield (Trail Smoke Eaters) and Mike Krgovich (Coquitlam Express). Gordon will likely start behind fourth-year tender Justin Mulholland, a Coquitlam native who played with the Surrey Eagles in 2007-08. He faced a similar situation when he came to the Vipers in 2008-09 with Andrew Hammond already established as the No. 1. After paying his dues that season, Gordon settled into the starter role and backstopped Vernon to its second straight Royal Bank Cup title. “Jeff said I’d have an opportunity to battle for the starter position,� said Gordon, of the coming season. Gordon spent three seasons in the BCHL, compiling a 60-35-2 record with the Snakes, Merritt Centennials and Salmon Arm. In his final campaign, he went 30-7 with a 2.06 goals against average and .911 save percentage before recording another 19 playoff wins. “It’s exciting to be able to add a player of Graeme’s calibre and experience,� said Dubois. “He brings a winning background and has played in lots of big games and high-pressure situations. We’re looking forward to him filling a large role at SFU

Navy scuttles Yellow crew Morning Star Staff
The Royal LePage Navy Blue Manrays grounded Royal LePage Yellow 4-0 Saturday to win the North Okanagan Youth Soccer Association Vernon Cup in the Under 13 Girls Division. Paige Hason helped jumpstart the Manrays’ offence by hitting the cross bar and Vicky Grahn buried the rebound. Both teams showed great passing skills and determination. Ava Ready, Sarah Weibe and Jamieson GordonMason did very well against the Yellows’ offence. Midway through the second half, Hason scored on a hard grounder to make it 2-0. Maddie Powls, Latisha Baker and Sierra Benner were key players setting up the offence. Kiona Ramsey, from the end line, passed the ball to the top of the 18-yard box to Maddie Powls, who converted. With just a few minutes left, Hason passed to Haley Lapp, who struck the ball over the Yellows’ keeper. Jenna Mulholland made some key saves to earn a well-deserved shut out. The Manrays opened with a 6-1 win Friday night over Royal LePage Red. Hason ignited the offensive fireworks just like Saturday, nailing the cross bar with Benner scoring on the rebound for the opening goal. Minutes later, the Reds equalized before the Manrays’ Latisha Baker followed up on her own rebound to make 2-1 late in the first half. The Reds had lots of shots and just missed the net. Powls and Mulholland shared netminding duties, making it hard for the Red team to score. Carmen Pavlov, Milana Ivanoff and Ready played well against the Reds’ offence. Andraya Holmes and Benner were clutch in the middle of the field. Baker passed up the wing to Grahn, who relayed to Kiona Ramsey for the 3-1 goal. Benner then fed Grahn, while Tiffany Elliott and Lapp completed the Manrays’ offence. The U12/U13 Boys Division Red Bulls completed their season with a win in the Vernon Cup. The boys had a great year by winning all their games. Two goals from top scorer Lendrit Ademi
Kelowna makes cut for Memorial bid Black Press Sports
The Kelowna Rockets have made it down to the final three. The Western Hockey League has released its shortlist of potential host cities for the 2013 Memorial Cup with Kelowna, Saskatoon and Red Deer making the grade. The announcement was made this week in Calgary, site of the league meetings. "We’re excited to be chosen as one of three teams vying to be the host of the 2013 Memorial Cup,” said Rockets president/GM Bruce Hamilton. “We’d love to bring the Memorial Cup back to our city and fans.” The three teams were selected based on several criteria including the projected roster for each team in 2013, as well as each franchise's past history of hosting events and the facilities and amenities were also taken into account. The WHL head office and an independent panel chose the three finalists. The Rockets hosted and won the Canadian Hockey League championship tournament back in 2004, Saskatoon last played host to the Cup in 1989, while the Rebels have never hosted major junior hockey's showcase. The 2013 host city will be announced Oct. 12 at the board of governors meeting in Calgary.

especially off NET’s set pieces. Recently added players Alex Nolan and Colby Finney had strong games for the 2-5-1 Turn-Key squad. Concept Physio squandered a twogoal, first-half lead, falling 3-2 to Nation of Domination Eagle Homes Wednesday night at Marshall #5. It was a close game, with Concept (3-4) taking the early lead on goals by Erik Ius and Alex Mcdougall. NOD (3-3) rallied in the second half, scoring three early goals. Concept came close to tying the game, hitting two goal posts. Michael Conlin also drove a rocket off the crossbar. Davidson Dynamite used deuces from Nathan Whitling and Albert Goldnik as they cruised to a 6-0 win over the host Salmon Arm Outlaws. Pedro Garro and David Patino each chipped in with singles for the 4-2-2 Nitros. The Outlaws are 0-7. Unable to muster enough bodies, Monashee Surveying (3-3-1) defaulted to the host Revelstoke Stallions (3-1-2).
North Enderby Timber maintained its stance atop the North Okanagan Men’s Soccer League with a 4-1 win over Turn-Key Controls Wednesday night at Marshall Field #3. Brent Poulson burst up the right wing before burying a shot in the top right corner to open the scoring for the 7-1-1 timbermen. Graham Ross then fed a through ball to Poulson, who was fouled by Turn-Key keeper Greg Douma inside the 18. Eric Vivian converted the resulting penalty kick. A Ross corner found the foot of Bryn Knauf, who ran the ball into the net. Turn-Key’s Jeremy Kler continued his hot streak up front, booting a leftfoot strike to the top corner over the outstretched fingertips of NET keeper Danny Stein before the half. Devin Janke corralled a long throwin by Colby Buckham and found the top corner, shortside, to complete the scoring. Douma made some huge saves,

Shrimp boats moving down Okanagan Lake Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan shrimp vessels are heading downstream. Fishing vessels currently investigating the shrimp fishery in Okanagan Lake near Vernon are moving south to Squally Point near Peachland. The vessels are part of a provincial study of the experimental freshwater shrimp fishery established in the northern part of Okanagan Lake. The fishery was created in 2000 to help recover the Okanagan Lake kokanee population as the shrimp, or Mysis diluviana, is known to compete
with kokanee for food. The province believes the shrimp population may be shifting to southerly parts of the lake and will be conducting experimental hauls to collect data for approximately two weeks. Two companies harvest the shrimp for use in pet food, nutraceuticals and cosmetics. The annual harvest of freshwater shrimp takes place between May and October and has averaged 40 metric tons a year between 2000 and 2010. Freshwater anglers spend $480 million every year, supporting 7,500 direct jobs.

Finance minister for a day
L
et’s assume that when everyone in B.C. gets to be finance minister for a day, a majority choose to throw a $3-billion chair through the office window to show how mad they are about the harmonized sales tax. The cleanup will take two years, but first there will be a provincial election to decide who holds the broom and dustpan. And the choices are becoming clear. You have a new B.C. Liberal leader who has tacked to the centre on the minimum wage and business taxes in an effort to seek forgiveness for the highhanded administration that lost the public’s trust. And you have two opposition parties that are entirely reactionary in their approach to today’s fast-changing world. There isn’t much to say at this point about the B.C. Conservatives under John Cummins. They are against modern treaty settlements, the carbon tax and (I think) the HST. They stand for lower taxes, but so far that doesn’t include a reduced sales tax rate. The rest of their platform is platitudes, with enough of a whiff of protest to pave a path for an NDP government. And the NDP manages to make the B.C. Conservatives look modern. In January I described how the B.C. NDP constitution still formally endorses the government taking over major industries, and explicitly rejects all for-profit activity. I won’t re-quote the convoluted Marxist language, which boils down to ‘state good, competition bad.’ A reader provides a real-time example of how this principle
would apply to a problem confronting the B.C. government. To prevent another riot in Vancouver, the government should supervise an orderly redistribution of Stanley Cups. This core principle of socialism, an 80-yearold relic, Tom Fletcher was debated at the national party’s convention in Vancouver on the weekend. Socialist dead-enders rallied to keep it alive, rejecting vague new wording that favours “social democratic principles” to ensure “economic and social equality.” This isn’t just an academic discussion for party conventions. One of the last acts of the NDP opposition in the B.C. legislature this spring was to propose a legislated end to poverty. According to their bill, B.C. should create a Ministry of Poverty Reduction with annual goals for imposing the redistribution of
B.C. VIEWS
wealth. The “Poverty Reduction Act” contains a weasel-worded definition of poverty: insufficient money to “acquire and maintain economic selfreliance” and “facilitate integration into and participation in society.” Does this mean a guaranteed annual income? Can people achieve “economic self-reliance” by collecting welfare? Does anyone actually believe this stuff? If you believe unionized state monopolies are the best business model, I guess so. I won’t elaborate on
the fringe parties such as Chris Delaney’s B.C. First, a splinter from the B.C. Conservative stump. The Green Party is the only one other than the B.C. Liberals that looks to the future. Perhaps too far in the future. The Greens want a dramatically increased carbon tax and a transition to a “steady state” economy that doesn’t try to produce and consume more. Try eliminating poverty with that program. I frequently get letters from people who accuse me of parroting the government’s line on issues such as the HST and poverty.
If there are political alternatives out there that make actual sense in today’s world, I’d love to hear about them. Until then, these are the choices. Any day now, NDP leader Adrian Dix might start to unveil the positive alternative he has promised for an election that may come this fall. That will be something to examine closely. Right now, he’s urging you to throw that chair. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca twitter.com/ tomfletcherbc

Your unseen emotions
W
hat unseen emotions, feelings or thoughts walk alongside you daily, impacting on your sense of self worth? Can you identify them? Did you get the message as a child that you should be seen, but not heard? Were you abused in any way? Perhaps given messages that you were not important in Carole Fawcett the grand scheme of your family? Was your upbringing very rigid or lacking in love? Was what other people thought more important than what you thought? Did you have a happy childhood, or do you have segments that you have ‘forgotten’ (or stuffed down so deep that you no longer have to acknowledge them by remembering)? Likely some of this applies to everyone who is reading these words. Your unseen emotion may have taken you by the hand and led you through life on a journey that may have been difficult. But, it’s never too late to make the changes that will help to enhance your life. “The walls we build around us to keep sadness out, also keep out joy.” Jim Rohn, was the motivational speaker who
BOOMER TALK
made this statement. (1930 – 2009) Sometimes we unconsciously nurture our negativities. They have become so real to us that we fan the flames of the negative way of thinking about ourselves – no longer requiring anyone else to do it for us. Simplistically speaking, we may fall into different categories. The Worrier, excels at “what-iffing” thereby promoting anxiety in their lives. The Critic (shoulda – woulda – coulda) attacks their self esteem. The Victim (why me? It’s always me!) can turn into depression. Then there’s the Perfectionist (It’s never good enough…) promotes chronic stress, because we can never meet our own unrealistic expectations. It seems easier to grab the negativity and hang on to it, particularly when we see it, hear it and feel it almost daily. It’s harder to find the positive when the world is in turmoil, as it creates turmoil in our personal well being. We worry about what has happened, along with what has not happened. It then seems natural to make predictions about what “might” happen and this insidiously takes over our thoughts. The negativities in our lives may manifest with eating too much, smoking, drinking too much, as we sit slothlike on the couch watching violent television shows that desensitize us to the real violence in our world.
We shut off from others by thinking we have “friends” on a computer website, but we don’t actually do face-to-face “friend” things, like see one another over a meal, or go for a walk. We may work for abusive bosses, or in extremely stressful jobs then go home and isolate ourselves. Things like fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, anxiety, psoriasis, arthritis, depression, sore backs, headaches, neck tension and more start to appear in our bodies. As Author Caroline Myss states “Your biography is your biology.” Interestingly, (and annoyingly), the emotions we’ve stuffed for decades can pop up when we are in our 40th decade. Everyone’s life experience is different, so with some, it may be in their 50’s and 60’s before they feel the need to examine what they have stuffed. We may keep bumping into the same type of relationship problem, health problem, or feel we are self sabotaging ourselves with our thoughts. We don’t need to carry the burdens of our past with us. Is it time to unpack your baggage and cleanse your emotional soul? Think about it.

Missing child found in bed Black Press
Kelowna Mounties ended an exhaustive search for three-yearold Shiah Stenson at 3:30 p.m. when she was located in her home, under the covers of her grandmother’s bed. “I apologize immensely but I also thank you so much,” said Shiah’s mother Barbara Stenson after the toddler was located by Const. Trish Waugh. “Shiah has no idea what a superstar she has become in the last half hour.” Shiah’s mother, who called the authorities earlier that afternoon, said she was just glad to know her daughter was safe. “It’s the worst (thing that can happen to a parent,)” she said. “I feel like I should buy everyone a lobster dinner…I feel foolish, but I don’t feel that foolish; I’m just glad she’s safe.”

Okanagan stars in award-winning TV pilot KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Save for the occasional mountain hiker, dirt biker or furry scavenger, the backwoods of Lavington are normally relatively quiet. However, those lurking in the area last spring may have spotted some unusual activity of the Hollywood North kind. Set up on the Thorlakson property on Reid Road, an Okanaganbased film crew recently gathered to see former L.A. writer/director M.F. (Matt) McDowell’s passion project come to fruition. After many false starts, McDowell, who now calls Lavington home, was finally able to oversee the filming of his television pilot, a sci-fi drama called La Fontaine. Produced as a speculative pilot (without a buyer or distribution deal), the filming has paid off for McDowell and his partners from Kelowna’s TechYouDigital Media, which just recently picked up a prestigious award. The winner of Best Drama Pilot at the Banff World Media Festival, described as the “Olympics of Television,� La Fontaine is a onehour modern, gothic drama about a family who moves to a small town that has a secret culture of genetic manipulation (natural and unnatural.) “There are bigger themes of transformation. For example we have a mother dying of a strange disease. There’s this supernatural element, but it is naturally based,� said McDowell, adding the pilot is not as serialized as Lost, but there is a deep running mystery that even a casual fan could follow. Now that the pilot has won an award, the producers hope to develop La Fontaine into an Okanagan-based television series that will have a long and profitable run on TV.
PHOTOS SUBMITTED
Okanagan actors Jaeden Jensen, left, Liam Caswell, Zyan Panagopoulos and Chad Abramson act out a scene at Fulton Secondary School from the TV pilot for La Fontaine. Local writer/director M.F. McDowell (below) holds the award he won for best drama at the 2011 Banff World Media Festival international pilot competition. “We’ve already received a couple of phone calls from production companies,� said McDowell, calling from his home near Lavington where he has been living the past five years with his wife, Louisa, who is originally from the area. “We ramped up the pilot, but it’s written so that it is open ended, so the future is wide open... We’ve had some good meetings with Corus and Shaw. It’s a different situation in Canada, it’s more friendly and open.� La Fontaine features an allOkanagan film crew and 18-member cast, with speaking parts, who were found with the help of the Okanagan Actors Alliance. McDowell enlisted TechYou Media for principle photography after reading an article about their use of a Red One digital camera, which shoots at a very high resolution. (The same brand of camera was used to shoot such films as The
Social Network and Pirates of the Caribbean.) “When people see it they think it is quite ambitious but we didn’t really spend a lot of money on it,� said McDowell, who funded the project out of his own pocket.
The Okanagan Film Commission also helped with providing a location in Enderby’s cemetery, while secondary photography was shot in Lake Country and Kelowna. More than 30 extras were cast for a shoot at Vernon’s Clarence
Fulton Secondary School, but most of the filming took place in and around Lavington, said McDowell. “When I first wrote it, I set it in Louisiana but when I looked around here, I didn’t need to change it. Instead of a swamp, I had a dark, creepy forest.� Like its storyline, La Fontaine has had a few transformations in getting developed. Originally written when McDowell lived in L.A. (a Northern California native, McDowell moved south to attend film school at UCLA), the script was pitched with his then writing partner to a number of U.S. networks. The men did end up selling the pilot to CBS, and at one point famed TV producer Aaron Spelling, actor Robert DeNiro and director Thomas Carter were all attached. After being delayed by a year, the network ended up putting the script in the top five for production, but then ended up developing the other four, said McDowell. It was around that time, as well as the writers’ strike, that McDowell decided to make the move north. “I had put the script on the shelf and was thinking about starting a business when this came along,� he said. With the pilot entered into another television awards competition in L.A. this August, McDowell is keeping his fingers crossed La Fontaine will finally be picked up. “I never wait for the big moment. It’s all about the moments along the way. Each day of filming was fantastic. The cast screening was fantastic. And now with this (Banff) award, I am pleased I made the decision to film here.� McDowell is also looking for sponsors to host a local screening at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. “We’d like to give back to the community now that there’s an award behind it,� he said.

BANG FOR YOUR BUCK
Elaine Ryan: Songs from the River ell-travelled folk-pop singer Elaine Ryan has an international background that gives her music a unique scope. The Irish-born singer/songwriter, whose home and destinations have included Europe, Hawaii and points in North America, resides in Vancouver. Ryan’s instrument of Dean Gordon-Smith choice to write and record is the acoustic guitar, and that sound is richly represented on her first album, Songs From the River. Her material has a touch of easyflowing café culture running through the arrangements (September Promise), and her songs stand alone with minimal adornment. They’re evocative and direct (Making Eyes), and the clarity of the production allows the best part, Ryan’s voice, to shine through. Her vocal sound is thoughtful and clear; a comforting and assured style with the suggestion of an emotional edge. Some voices and vocalists have a hint of familiarity that reaches out-

Vernon gets ‘Sirius’ about hosting concert Morning Star Staff
Vernon is one of four Canadian cities in the running for a music contest that could see the Sam Roberts Band and The Trews perform here. Sponsored by Sirius Satellite Radio, The Face The Music Summer Concert Series is a unique online music challenge offering Canadians an opportunity to compete and win an exclusive free concert experience for their hometown. Based on the leader board June 21, Vernon was showing at No. 3 for the western region. However, as of Wednesday, Calgary was gaining on Penticton to
score the concert. “We’re very excited to launch an online challenge that encourages community participation and sparks a friendly rivalry to determine the four hometowns in Canada that will win an incredible Canadian live music experience,” said Andreanne Sasseville, director of Canadian content development and industry relations for Sirius Canada. “Sirius is all about the music and we’re so thrilled about the artists that have signed on to be a part of this new series. The response has been overwhelming since the contest went live.”
The challenge is a fast and furious test of musical knowledge based on Sirius’ commercial-free music playlist offering everything from classic rock and hip hop to opera and country. The game begins when a song clip plays and points are awarded based on the speed in which a correct answer is provided. Players are assigned to a specific region based on their location and compete for their town or city to play host to an exclusive free concert experience.
This year, four exclusive free concert experiences are up for grabs as communities in the western, central, Quebec and eastern regions compete for the Face the Music title. When the contest ends on July 6 at 5 p.m. ET, the community with the highest average score in each region will win the designated concert. To play, or for more information, visit www. facebook.com/siriuscanada. A flash player system is required.

There is a minor key twinge of melancholy in Aching that’s tempered with a straight-ahead story-telling lilt in Still On My Mind. Together they create an alluring charm that is relaxed and wide-open. Ryan’s music isn’t concerned with over-contemplation. Many of the songs have a jaunty bounce at their centre, but seem to have been written in the calm of candlelight. Her lyrics, guitar work and vocals culminate beautifully in her ballad The River.

Cast of Len Wood Middle School’s performing arts production of Aladdin, Leah Wells as Aladdin (top left), Tianna Drydyk as Jasmine, Syndey Chudyk as Carpet (bottom, left), narrator Chloe VanDermeer, and Jeanna Churchill as the genie, finish the run of the popular Disney musical tonight at Armstrong’s Centennial Theatre.
Genie released in Armstrong Morning Star Staff
Students from Armstrong’s Len Wood Middle School have been transported to the Middle East, and it only took the rubbing of a magic lamp. Actually it’s taken hundreds of hours by the dedicated students, parents and Len Wood music teacher/ director Deborah Mehes to stage the school’s current production of Aladdin, which finishes its three-day, mostly sold-out run at Armstrong’s Centennial Theatre auditorium today. With music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim
Rice, Aladdin features all the romance, intrigue and adventure, along with the feisty heroine, charming hero, magical mentor and evil villain made famous in the Disney classic. “More than 100 students in Len Wood’s performing arts program have been working since September to recreate the story, songs and spectacle,” said Mehes, adding this isn’t your average middle school play. “With costumes by Calowna Costumes, professional lighting and set design, and an enthusiastic and talented cast, this show (has been) a treat for the entire family.”

ach person’s life could be a book. Katharine Kroeker’s is several, the books about her own experiences living with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis told for adults and children. The writing started when she was in her 20s and was driving cab in Ontario after what she says can only be described as an awakening. “I realized I didn’t like me. I had been putting myself down a lot. I thought I could protect myself when people made rude comments about my looks by laughing at myself before they did,” she said. She had juvenile rheumatoid arthritis since she was five but it was not diagnosed until she was 11 and in a wheelchair. She came home from school one day in tears after she saw a teacher imitating her limp and her mother insisted that she not return to school, so she was educated at home. “There was so much getting rejected, with jobs, with boyfriends, with people thinking they could get arthritis from me. I realized that I was a good person, I was fun to be around, I didn’t hurt people, I was honest. I became much more positive. I just didn’t put up with other people’s BS and ignorance anymore. I did everything with a more positive attitude.” She has had numerous surgeries. “I had been promised that after my face surgery, I would be given a volunteer job at the arthritis society near my home but when I was ready, they told me they had hired someone. I went home and had a rye and coke and thought to myself, ‘this is too bloody much. I’m 26 years old and I’ve been through so much that I could have lived three or four lives.’ I got out my old manual typewriter and started writing everything from my earliest recollections.” Kroeker wrote the book, later published as Too Much for One Lifetime, in nine months. She submitted it to McCLelland & Stewart publishers and was pleased that Jack McClelland read the manuscript and wrote a personal letter

lot of new friends.” One of them was an editor in California who supported her through rewriting her book and it was done in 2003. By this time there had been other life changes. Kroeker’s father had died and she and her mother moved to B.C., first to Kelowna and then to Lumby. “My mom was my strength, literally and figuratively and my best friend. We always helped each other.” Her mother, Tena Kroeker, who died in 2006, formed a publishing company, Short Hand Publishing, named for Katharine, who has one hand shorter than the other because of surgery. “I find it hard to promote my books but I had some wonderful comments on it. People tell me they can’t put it down. My mother suggested I try a children’s book about some of my experiences being teased and bullied. She always told me not to give up, to keep going, to be positive.” Kroeker has published three children’s books and done author visits to Okanagan schools. She has more children’s books planned and has completed another adult book updating her life story, Too Many Speed Bumps, A Journey of Healing. She has also started a novel and does editing for other writers. “I like the children’s books because I can be a lot more goofy in them. They’re all stories from my life but with some poetic licence.” One of the books, Ricky, the Rickety Rocking Chair, tells about the time she and her brother rescued an old rocking chair from the junk heap, from the chair’s point of view. The chair is still in her home. Kroeker is now dealing with another health condition which was not diagnosed for a long time. “I want to write a third book, my life after Mom. I don’t know when I’ll be strong enough to do it. I know my mother would want me to do it. I’m relaunching Too Much for One Lifetime with a new cover which I think represents the book better. “I’ve been through a lot and I hope that readers will realize that they can survive as well. “My faith has got me through everything. I can still smile, you need to have a sense of humour about yourself. I will write more. There are always things rolling around in my head that I should be writing.” For more information about Kroeker and her books, e-mail thekat@telus.net or see www.ShortHandPublishing.com.

Help for eating disorders
D
ear Annie: I am a 20-yearold male who recently developed an eating disorder. I’ve lost almost 50 pounds from restricting, purging and over-exercising. Even though I get a lot of compliments on my weight loss, I am nowhere near where I’d like to be. My parents notice that I don’t eat very much, but as soon as I eat a little more, my mother makes comments on how I’m going to gain the weight back. Even my doctor thinks I should lose a bit more. Honestly, I’m at my limit here. I’m afraid to stop purging because I’ll just binge and put the weight back on. I realize I have a distorted body image and recently started causing external harm to my body because I’m not happy with what I see. How can I be satisfied and not end up seriously hurt? — E.D.

Dear Perplexed: No one can take advantage of you without your permission. Don’t be afraid to say, “I’m so sorry, Doris, but this isn’t a good time to visit. Maybe tomorrow.” And then close the door. Be polite and friendly, but don’t let her inside, even if she tries to bribe you with a homemade pie. But we hope you won’t shut her out completely. She is desperate for company, and you might visit on occasion and encourage her to participate in community activities. In the meantime, it’s OK to set boundaries and be firm about them. Dear Annie: I had to reply to “Michigan,” who is afraid she will not be close to her two sons after they marry. I have one son. If “Michigan” treats her daughters-in-law as she does her sons, she will have no problem. My daughter-in-law is the daughter I never had. She has a mother and a sister, but we two are as close as can be. We
do things together (just the two of us) and enjoy each other’s company. She sometimes has conflicts with her husband, as we all do from time to time, and knows she can come to me with anything. I keep an open mind. I love my son, but he is not perfect. I wouldn’t trade my daughter-in-law for anything. I love her as my own. — Lucky Motherin-Law

Ride for Rehab builds awareness Morning Star Staff
Anyone can be at risk and not even be aware of it. Five years ago, Alex Holton was shocked to discover that he had developed an eight-centimetre dissection in his ascending aorta, a main blood vessel. Within 48 hours he went from being a healthy 23-year-old to needing life-saving surgery to replace the damaged section of his aorta and rebuild his heart. After surgery he lost all confidence in his ability and even the safety of being an active person. A referral to his local cardiac rehabilitation centre gave a safe, judgment-free environment that helped his recovery in ways he could never have achieved on his own. Holton decided to “pay it forward” and he and Vanessa Parlette are now cycling 8,000 kilometres in the Cross Canada Ride for Rehab from Vancouver to St. John’s. One of his goals is to visit cardiac rehabilitation centres like the one at Vernon Jubilee Hospital to
promote awareness of the programs for rehabilitation and cardiac health and raising funds for the Cardiac Health Foundation of Canada. Holton and Parlette were recently in Vernon and he writes about his experiences here on his blog at www.avclubbiking.ca. Donations to the campaign can be made at www. cardiachealth.ca, with 50 per cent going directly to the Vernon Cardiac Rehab Program and 50 per cent to the Cardiac Health Foundation of Canada. Tax receipts will be issued for donations over $10. According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, risk factors that can be controlled include: high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, diabetes, being overweight, excessive alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, smoking and stress. Risk factors that cannot be controlled include: age, gender, family history, ethnicity and history of stroke. For a personalized risk profile take the assessment at www.heartandstroke.ca.

Canada’s healthiest individuals live in B.C.
COUNTRY RULES
Morning Star Staff
Statistics Canada released its annual Canadian Community Health Survey confirming that B.C. still holds the top spot among provinces when it comes to living healthy lifestyles. The 2010 Canadian Community Health Survey shows that, among provinces: ■ British Columbians (ages 12 and over) have the highest physical activity rates at 59.1 per cent; ■ B.C. has the lowest smoking rate in Canada at 17.8 per cent; ■ British Columbians rank second for fruit and vegetable consumption (five or more times per day) at 43 per cent; ■ Adult British Columbians have the lowest self-reported obesity rates at 44.4 per cent and youth (ages 12-17) also have the lowest rates of obesity at 17.8 per cent; ■ B.C. has the lowest rates of binge drinking with 15.7 per cent of British Columbians drinking more than five
drinks on one occasion. The Canadian Community Health Survey has been providing population-level information on health determinants, health status and health system use for 10 years. It builds on the latest Canadian Institute for Health Information report that confirms B.C. has the lowest obesity rates in the country. Despite this, poor nutrition, along with physical inactivity and tobacco use, are the largest contributors to B.C.’s health care costs. The province recently launched a comprehensive $68.7-million Healthy Families BC strategy to support British Columbians to continue to improve their health. As part of this, the Ministry of Health’s $24-million Prescription for Health program provides opportunities for British Columbians who smoke, are obese, are physically inactive or have unhealthy eating habits access to free-of-charge telephonebased lifestyle support services.

Supporting Farm Families BC Fruit Growers’ Association
Across our beautiful Okanagan Valley, tree fruit growers work each day to produce deliciously safe, nutritious and affordable fruits you and your family enjoy. However, the once sustainable Okanagan tree fruit industry has undergone several challenges due to: * * * *
subsidized and increasing production in Washington State, open market access from globalization, declining BC agricultural support, and high cost of restructuring the industry
Sustaining the farmland requires sustaining agriculture; but the resources devoted to support agriculture have consistently declined.
TOGETHER, let’s keep BC’s farmland green, beautiful, viable. Support the Okanagan tree fruit industry when you visit the grocery store – pick BC fruits first! You’re not just eating a healthy, nutritious fruit; You’re supporting family farms and local jobs in the Okanagan! Search “BC Fruit Growers’ Association” on Facebook

Province reverses cuts to sheriffs in wake of delays JEFF NAGEL Black Press
The province will pay for more sheriffs to guard court rooms, reversing cuts imposed late last month that triggered a wave of trial adjournments and sparked strong criticism from judges and lawyers. Attorney General Barry Penner said the government will restore the hours of 52 auxiliary and part-time sheriffs, which had been sharply reduced in late May, bringing back the equivalent of 34 fulltime positions. Penner ordered his staff to find more money within the ministry budget to cover more sheriffs after judges told him they were uncomfortable about the safety of court rooms in the wake of the reductions. Under the cuts, a roving system was in force where each court didn’t necessarily have its own sheriff but was supposed to be able to call on one quickly if needed. At least 23 trials were delayed this month, including a murder case and home invasion case, after judges refused to run them without sheriffs present to provide security. “We’re pleased to see the hours come back,” B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union spokesman Dean Purdy said. “But really it’s just a Band-Aid solution. Even before the judges in many locations around the province were refusing to run their trials because of the shortage of deputy sheriffs.” A hiring freeze in effect for the last couple of years has meant B.C. courts have lost more than 100 sheriffs to attrition prior to the now-reversed cuts. Many departing sheriffs left for other higher-
paying law enforcement jobs, Purdy said. He’s also worried Penner’s plan to find money elsewhere in the ministry means “robbing from Peter to pay Paul.” NDP Attorney General critic Leonard Krog said the restored hours will help but the government must commit to a broader overhaul of the embattled justice system. “We are still down 17 judges across the province,” Krog said. “There are still not enough prosecutors. We know the premier, riding the wave of revulsion over the Vancouver riots, has promised swift prosecution. And we know there aren’t enough prosecutors to do it.” The provincial court has warned 2,100 alleged criminals are at risk of walking free because their cases have already dragged on so long they are at risk of being quashed due to unacceptable delay.

Black Press
After watching police from as far away as Abbotsford dispatched to help restore order in downtown Vancouver during last week’s riot, people have found a new reason to support a single police agency for Metro Vancouver. A post-riot poll of B.C. residents by Angus Reid Public Opinion found three out of five respondents favours amalgamation of the patchwork of city police and RCMP that serves the Lower Mainland. Two thirds of people in Metro Vancouver and the rest of B.C. believe police officers handled the situation properly once the Stanley Cup riot of 2011 broke out. And a similar majority opposed the idea that big street celebrations should be banned. Four out of five agreed that non-lethal crowd control tools such as rubber bullets or bean bag shotguns should be an option for police. Four out of five respondents also agreed with Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu’s assertion that the burning and looting were sparked by a small group of people. The poll found disagreement with one official statement. Seven out of 10 respondents didn’t accept the idea that there was no way to know the crowd assembled in downtown Vancouver would become violent. While public confidence in police remains high, the same can’t be said for the court system. On average, respondents expect only 32 per cent of those who broke laws to be prosecuted, and half expect that one in five or fewer perpetrators will be punished. The online survey was conducted by 906 randomly selected B.C. adults, 515 of whom live in Metro Vancouver.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Compromise is the key word for you, especially where domestic disagreements are concerned. Your attitude will play a critical role in the kind of responses you’ll get. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) One of the more critical areas in which you need to be monitored is your tendency to stick your nostrils into situations or problems where you’ve not been invited. Don’t miscalculate your place. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Keep a close eye on your resources and how you handle them. Complacency or indifference could carry a high price tag if you’re not willing to keep tabs on your spending habits. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Don’t let your vanity or ego get in the way of your relationships with others. There are certain facets of your personality that could cause you to blurt out things you don’t mean. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You’ll do yourself a favor if you can face the fact that not everybody will
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The best way to figure out who is your worst enemy is to look in a mirror. What it boils down to is impatience and compulsive behavior that will prove to be selfdefeating. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Operate as independently from others as you possibly can, because, for some unknown reason, your way of doing things and theirs will be diametrically opposed to each other.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Much inner turmoil is likely to be generated when you discover your trust in another has been sadly misplaced. Instead of inviting more trouble, rely on past experience as your guide.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Keep a lid on your intensity and try to operate on a more placid wavelength. Once your forcefulness is set into motion, it could be extremely difficult to control.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder Francis Quarles, an English poet who died in 1644, said, “Let the fear of danger be a spur to prevent it; he that fears not, gives advantage to the danger.” Declarers should keep that in mind. On all deals, they should try to spot any possible danger to their contract, then work out how to nullify it. This deal provides an example. South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond jack. What should declarer do? North used a limit raise, showing four or more hearts, eight losers (one spade, three hearts, one diamond and three clubs), and 10-12 support points (high-card plus shortage points). South, with a
balanced hand, sensibly settled for game. His hand was not quite strong enough to dabble for a slam with a three-spade control-bid (cue-bid). Assuming trumps are not 4-0, there seem to be 10 top tricks: four spades, four hearts (at least) and two diamonds. Easy, peasy! What might go wrong? Well, hearts could be 4-0. But if they are not, the only way the defenders can get four tricks is via one heart and three clubs. And to do that, East must gain the lead for a highclub shift. South should keep East off the lead by taking the first trick with dummy’s diamond ace and playing a heart to his jack.
Here, the finesse wins and declarer collects an overtrick. But even if the finesse loses, the contract is safe. Note that if South cashes his ace-king of hearts, he goes down. East ruffs the third spade and switches to the club queen.
