Firefighters’ cancer battle gets support

Battling bureaucracy over cancer is one less challenge firefighters will face in the line of duty. Occupational disease regulations have been expanded so firefighters who develop esophageal cancer can more easily access benefits under B.C.’s Workers Compensation Act. “It’s good news for firefighters,” said Brent Bond, Vernon Professional Firefighters Association president. “The onus was always on the employee to prove the cancer was caused by occupational activities. It was very rare for diseases to be recognized by WorkSafe.” The change in policy means full-time and volunteer firefighters will no longer have to provide medical or scientific evidence that the esophageal cancer was work-related. “Anyone who is struck with cancer, the last thing they need to do is fight somebody over funding,” said Ian Cummings, Armstrong-Spallumcheen fire chief. Esophageal cancer is now the 10th cancer recognized under the Workers Compensation Act as occupational diseases. The other cancers are bran, bladder, kidney, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, ureter, colorectal, leukemia, testicular and lung for non-smokers. “Firefighting is a dangerous occupation,” said Cummings, adding that hazards originate from burning building

The number of cancers considered as occupational hazards for firefighters has expanded in B.C. materials or items inside structures. “There are dangerous chemicals out there and firefighters are getting ill.” Bond believes health risks are increasing for firefighters. “There are new synthetics and carcinogens and they produce more hazardous fumes all of the time,” he said.
Ripening fruit crop harvests problems for bears RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A key aspect of the Okanagan lifestyle is fruit-laden trees in orchards and backyards, but it can also mean a death sentence for bears. Bear complaints to the Ministry of Environment have remained steady, partly because of the arrival of fruit season. “We’re getting a few bears in
“The main problem is with vacant lots with abandoned trees.” — Josh Lockwood cherry trees,” said Josh Lockwood, conservation officer. “The main problem is with
vacant lots with abandoned cherry trees. This impacts the neighbourhood because once the fruit is
gone, the bears go to garbage as a food source.” Once addicted to garbage, there is a challenge in relocating bears and officers may have to destroy them to reduce the risk to people. Lockwood is urging North Okanagan residents to be responsible for their yards, and particularly vacant lots. “Don’t let cherries go to the ground because the bears will come
and scavenge them,” he said. Lockwood anticipates problems with nuisance bears will continue as other fruit varieties ripen in the North Okanagan. “The complaints will increase as the apricots and plums come on. The bears love them,” he said. Besides fruit, other potential food sources for bears are pet food, barbecues, compost and bird feeders.

News Sweet victory for the Robo Bros. JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
When both of their sons already knew how to use a computer by the age of two, Rebecca and Vern Schier knew there was something special about their kids. “From birth this was clear,� said mom Rebecca Schier. “The things Hudson would reach for. And he didn’t swing on the swing, he had pulleys and was always making things.� Most recently, Rebecca and Vern, both kindergarten teachers in Vernon, have watched in awe as their sons design, program, handsolder wires and construct robots. Now at just 11- and 13-years-old, Nelson and Hudson (respectively) have clearly displayed their intelligence as the world’s top young robot programmers and designers. The brothers returned earlier this week with an impressive display of trophies from the RoboCup competition in Istanbul, Turkey. They took gold in their under-14 division for best programming, best super team and (the top award) world champions in the junior dance league. The pair, known as the Robo Bros., hard wired and programmed not one, not two, but five robots, which collectively flashed and danced in sync to music (Jack Johnson’s The 3 Rs). Their robots were up against 19 primary teams from around the world, but the judges were most impressed with the Schier brothers’ use of green energy, paired with a green message. “Everything in our robots can be re-used and re-cycled,� said Clarence Fulton student Hudson, of the robots that are powered by solar batteries and one by hydrogen fuel cells. Their designs and performance (complete with handmade flashing T-shirts) attracted a lot of attention. “Other teams like our ideas a lot,� said Silver Star student Nelson, the artistic designer behind it all, as teams were coming up to photograph their work and ask the brothers how they did it. “The judges told us that their performance and robots were yards better,� said Rebecca. “It was undeniably the best.� This is the third year the Robo Bros. have made it to the RoboCup, and after coming one point away from a win last year, they

Hudson (left) and Nelson Schier, of Vernon, topped the world in the RoboCup junior dance league competition in Istanbul, Turkey.
“I can’t even imagine what it’s going to be like (in 20 years). Maybe there will be robo servants.� — Hudson Schier spent all year re-wiring and programming to make their robots even more impressive. “They literally got off the plane and said, ‘we’re ramping up and we’re going to win this year,’� said Rebecca. Now the Robo Bros. have their sights set on some bigger projects for the future. “Maybe I could build a Mars rover or something,� said Hudson, who is already looking at universities as he eyes a career in engineering. And who knows, perhaps by the time he does, there will be robots doing the dirty
work for him. “At the rate it’s going I can’t even imagine what it’s going to be like (in 20 years). Maybe there will be robo servants,� said Hudson. The Robo Bros. win is a first for Canada in their league at the RoboCup – a competition that includes dance, soccer, rescue and robots at home with the goal to advance the state of the art of intelligent robots. The original goal of RoboCup was to create a team of robots capable of winning against the human soccer World Cup champions by 2050.
It’s a goal the Robo Bros. say is attainable, especially after witnessing the impressive abilities of robot soccer players matched against each other at the competition. Visit www.vernonmorningstar.com for a video on the Robo Bros. robots.

Members of the Preston Gosselin family are welcomed at Vancouver’s Stanley Park Thursday after running from Lavington to raise funds for cancer research.
Morning Star Staff
The six PrestonGosselin kids crossed the finish line of their 602-kilometre Kids Help Cancer Run with energy to spare. The youth started the run in Lavington July 1 and they wrapped up in Vancouver Thursday. “The last leg was only 18 kilometres from Burnaby and they all ran the last kilometre,” said father Reg Gosselin. “They would have finished the run two days earlier if we had let them, they were so enthusiastic, but we kept to our schedule. We had phenomenal weather and good health on our side. Some of the hills were a challenge but they took it as a badge of honour to be able to complete them. The RCMP escorts made it so much safer for the kids to run on the highway.” Michael Preston, nine, inspired by Terry Fox, came up with the idea for a run to raise money for cancer research more than a year ago and convinced his sisters and brother to join in. Parents Reg Gosselin and Natalie Preston agreed, if the kids would train for a year. “We thought at first it might be a fleeting thought but they did their part and showed they were serious so we helped organize the run,” said Reg. “We want to thank the police for their help, and Sport Chek and

We’re very proud of them. There’s a feeling of what’s next,” said Reg. “They had a great time and they’re looking for their next challenge. They’re kicking ideas
around.” The run raised close to $18,000 of the $20,000 goal. The website will be

Green light for crosswalk RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Fears that a child could be struck by a vehicle are leading to changes in a Coldstream neighbourhood. The municipality will install a crosswalk at Sage and Primrose drives as a way of trying to improve safety conditions for pedestrians. “There have been near-misses at this corner,� said Coun. Maria Besso. “This is part of creating safe walking paths so kids can walk to
“I don’t see a need for a short bit of sidewalk.� — Doug Dirk school.� The primary problem is that due to the design of the corner and landscaping, motorists have difficulty seeing children waiting to cross the road. The issue was raised by resident Roger Parsonage.
“There is simply nowhere for pedestrians to go to get out of the way of an approaching vehicle, and distracted children or a moment of driver inattention at the wrong time could lead to tragedy,� said Parsonage in a letter to council.
Besides a crosswalk, Parsonage is asking for other action, including a painted white line to indicate a pedestrian lane going around the curve at the intersection and ultimate construction of a sidewalk. “Pedestrians will meet vehicles going around a corner with no marked separation between them,� he said. Further changes to the intersection, such as a sidewalk, will be part of council’s 2012 budget process. However, Coun.
Doug Dirk believes there may be a more basic approach to increasing safety. “Sightlines can be improved by removing vegetation,� he said, adding that many of the plants on the corner are on public right-of-way. “I don’t see a need for a short bit of sidewalk there.� Municipal staff are talking to the adjacent property owner about the landscaping.

There were 14 homes constructed in Vernon in June, down 36 per cent from the previous year.
Housing starts struggle
HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED: You feel fatigued before the end of your golf game?
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Hammers and saws continue to be heard, but they’re muted compared to previous years. There were 14 new home construction starts in Vernon in June, a 36 per cent decrease from 22 starts during the same month in 2010. “This is consistent throughout the Okanagan,” said Paul Fabri, a Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation analyst. Of the 14 starts, 13 were single-detached (20 in June last year) and one was a multiple unit (two in 2010). Year-to-date, there have been 65 housing starts in Vernon, down 47 per cent from 122 starts during the first six months of 2010. The 65 starts break down into 55 single-detached units (107 in 2010) and 10 multiple units (15 last year). According to Fabri, there is one primary factor leading to house construction in Vernon being sluggish. “The new home market is seeing strong competition from the resale market. There are a lot of

“This is consistent throughout the Okanagan.” — Paul Fabri homes for sale out there,” he said. Unemployment levels have also prevented many people from entering the new home market. However, it’s expected both trends will ease as 2012 nears. “Into 2012, we will see the big supply of (existing) homes reducing and that should increase new home demand,” he said. But Fabri isn’t expecting the construction sector to return to the pre-recession frenzy the North Okanagan experienced. “Any gains we may see will be on the modest side,” he said. In Kelowna, there were 60 housing starts in June, down 54 per cent from 131 starts during June 2010. Kamloops activity decreased 61 per cent, while it dropped 83 per cent in Penticton.

Low Back Pain with Golf?
Dr. Pita Dhaliwal
Dr. Marke Pedersen
Your golf swing is not as smooth as it once was? Aches and pains following a game prevent you from getting out as often as you’d like? You develop back or neck pain throughout your game? Golf is a game of technical skill, where flexibility, fitness, and moving in a fluid motion are rewarded above raw strength and power. The key to this is proper joint mechanics and muscular flexibility throughout the spine, hips, pelvis, and shoulders. A problem that impairs this flexibility can result in an altered golf swing as well as resulting neck and back pain. When the spine is not functioning properly, the repetitive stress of swinging a golf club can be aggravating to the joints and muscles of the back. As a result, many golfers suffer from back pain. While a lot of these people seek chiropractic care after they are injured, many are now seeking wellness care to prevent the damage from occurring in the first place and affecting their game. We can provide you with an evaluation and recommendations on how to keep your back healthy, strong, and flexible. Keeping you on the Golf Course with better health and less pain is our goal. Give us a call, we’re here to help.

Golf and death
T
here is a secret killer out there stalking us. I’m not talking about sexting while driving, eating a green salad in Germany or accidentally stepping between a Casey Anthony reporter and a camera, because everyone knows those things will kill you. No, I’m talking about things you wouldn’t expect — common, everyday activities thought to be truly harmless, things you might even think are beneficial, like playing golf, a vacation cruise or watching baseball. I can’t tell you how Jim Mullen many guys are out on golf courses right now bragging about their openheart surgeries. They are all happy to tell me, “I was technically dead for seven minutes,” while I am in the middle of my backswing or, “I just had my second quadruple bypass,” in the middle of my putt or, “My doctor can’t understand why I’m still alive,” which, after playing with him for a while, I wondered, too. An astounding number of golfers seem to suffer heart disease, as well as arthritis, lumbago, sciatica, obesity and type two diabetes, in various combinations. You may think it’s admirable that they still play, even though they suffer myriad medical problems. That may be, but it is also a fact that most of these men were perfectly healthy before they took up the sport. Now, after 50 or 60 years, it is taking its deadly toll. I’ve played golf for only 10 years, and already my doctor says I should lose weight and get my blood pressure under control — two problems I never had before I picked up a club. Each day I hear that another golfer has gone to that big clubhouse in the sky. Can any sport be more dangerous than golf? Rock climbing? Base jumping? Car racing? Ski jumping? Why was I not warned of the risks? I told Sue I was thinking of giving up golf and taking up something safer and less strenu-
THE VILLAGE IDIOT
ous. She said she didn’t think that would be possible. “Besides, you wouldn’t like bass fishing. You should be doing something more strenuous, not less. Why don’t you stop taking the cart and walk the course.” What a bunch of crazy talk. Some are just too blind to see. Taking her advice, however, I decided to become more active. In addition to playing golf, I started going to baseball games. But it turns out that the activities even less strenuous than golf are also filled with danger. Most people would think it’s safe to sit in the stands and watch seven of nine guys do pretty much nothing for a few hours. So I’m at the game eating curly fries and nachos smothered in some cheese product, and I hear the guy behind us telling his friend about his “zipper job” heart surgery. It hit me that most of the people in the stands were overweight in spite of all that seventh-inning stretching, in spite of walking from the parking lot to the ballpark, in spite of reaching to hand money to the beer guy. And I couldn’t help but notice there were rows of empty seats in the season-ticket holders’ boxes. The people who came most often were dead, killed by the sport they loved. Someday a doctor will say to you, after months of expensive and painful tests, that there’s nothing more she can do, that you have six months to live. What a waste of time and energy. All she really had to do is ask a few simple questions, and the result would be the same. “You’re watching the Weather Channel 10 hours a day. You have six months to live.” “You’re playing golf four days a week. Do you want me to call hospice?” “I see you’re taking another cruise to Alaska. Have you made a living will?” “You say you drive your Buick to the Cracker Barrel for lunch every day? Let me check for a pulse.” Jim Mullen’s latest book Now in Paperback is now in paperback. You can reach him at jimmullenbooks.com.
The latest proposal from the Insurance Corporation of B.C. is another clear indication that the Crown corporation is reaching the end of the road in its ability to properly serve the province’s motorists. ICBC has notified the B.C. Utilities Commission that it plans to apply for a rate hike. “What’s happened really is the economy has rebounded a lot faster than most people have expected. That’s put more cars on the road,” ICBC spokesman Mark Jan Vrem told the media. He also pointed to an increase in bodily-injury claims as a result of wet weather. It’s reassuring to note that after a mere three-plus decades in operation, ICBC has come to the realization that it rains a bit in Vancouver. And while most, if not all, businesses would celebrate an economic rebound and additional customers, ICBC apparently sees it as a negative. However, that stance gives rise to a very simple solution: If ICBC is troubled by an increase in drivers, perhaps the time has come to end the corporation’s monopoly on basic insurance coverage. The latest news comes less than two months after Christy Clark’s Liberal government shot down ICBC’s proposal to increase insurance rates for drivers who receive as little as a single speeding ticket. While the corporation has steadily increased rates on drivers found at fault in a collision, this latest proposed hike will take safe drivers along for the ride. The time has come to see if private companies can provide the service at a better value to the province’s drivers. – Penticton Western News

Road projects questioned
I
am writing in response to the article in The Morning Star June 19: Response to Street Projects. It's very well and good to make streets attractive, but above all you must consider people first and how the development will impact them. Yes, 20th Street is attractive but where are the residents and their visitors supposed to park? One can make the street attractive without removing the parking. Here's another bad example for you to look at: Middleton Way between Mount Fostall Drive and 11th Avenue. This is what's now known as a speedway. Residential homes were not considered. Waddington Drive should have been left to the heavy trucks where the light industry is located. Now it runs off Middleton Way. Middleton used to have light traffic, mostly motorists. Now we have heavy trucks, noise, a lot of dust and an oily grime. No parking whatsoever and no trees to alleviate the situation. At the onset of building the highway, they promised terracing and trees to act as a buffer. We have neither. KIN TRACK IMPORTANT To Wayne Bennett: How dare you imply that the Kin Race Track area is no less important to animals and the surrounding community than the college site. Maybe you should hop in your car and take a look at what's going on down here. I would know. I live next to the track on a farm that we actively farm. I mean, who cares that it's a flood zone with 300 times more animal activity than the college site. In the past month-and-a-half, our back fields have flooded and carp been trapped, giving a food source for herons. There are bald eagles, multiple species of hawks, coyotes and deer. At night you see owls, hear frogs and there are turtles. When we recently hayed, hundreds of varieties of birds came. But, hey, say don't build in my back yard and go build in his when so clearly we farm that land and so does the wildlife. The impact to develop the Kin Race Track site, cutting all the trees for the parking lots, is way higher that that of the college site. Plus, what about the benefit to the people of the college? Maybe if you went to any of the meetings concerning Kin Race Track you would know that the
It looks nice but it's also dangerous. The road should never have been put through. Again, shouldn't the residents have been considered? A bad example at 29th Street. What about the people who lost their jobs because of business closures? It will maybe eventually look nice but in some places the road is fairly narrow. What about all of those useless bicycle lanes? Has anyone seen them being used? I've seen one cyclist a year on those lanes. I didn't see any more prior to the installation of those lanes, so where was the priority for installing them? They are definitely not in use during the winter months. What a waste of taxpayers' money. Was it in the millions? Personally, I think the bicycle lanes are more dangerous to the cyclist than using the regular road. I didn't think, or it used to be, that you didn't build anything new unless there was a demand for it. Where was the demand? It sure wasn't from the nonexistent cyclists. L.M. Neufeld
city and regional district plan on spending $7,554,240, plus legal costs, battling the equestrian society, with no building built on the site except a concession stand. So add that to the college site and you're looking at $14 million spent on a sports complex. It's ludicrous. Trever Peters

MONEY TREE Before you vote on the HST, think about the value to the valley through taxes. I have been to Victoria on a number of occasions and not once did I see a money tree at the Legislature. This province needs tax dollars to operate. Locally, the government has spent $180 million on the hospital, $13.4 million on Coldstream Elementary, $2.5 million on the Highway 6/97 improvements and now and $1 million on Bailey Road and Highway 97. These projects, which benefit the public the most, add up to almost $200 million. Where do Vander Zalm and his cronies think this money comes from? Now let's add the cost of a recall. Say it goes through, the cost of a byelection is $500,000 plus, and there is a very good chance the incumbent will be re-elected. This
IN RESPONSE This is a response to the article entitled "Many people view Christians with disdain" by The Rev. Yme Woensdregt (June 19). So the opinions of those young people (16 to 29-year-olds) were based upon their real experiences with today's Christians? And nothing else? Really? Here we go again witnessing the results of manipulative education. When educators (including some parents) are adverse to unacceptable facts and truth, as well as any objective moral order, young people are tragically cheated out of what is necessary to mature. They are also in danger of becoming morally handicapped and will likely lack the ability to see or think objectively. Opinions and conclusions can then only be based on subjective feelings, attitudes and experiences as opposed to solid

facts and fair judgement. In Christian teachings, there are two general categories of works of mercy: spiritual and corporal. The modern approach to the works of mercy, even in many churches today, focuses primarily or completely on the corporal works - that is, physical comfort and needs. This is of course skillfully exploited in the political arena through socialism. Socialists are the master manipulators, as they persistently tug at the heart while insulting the mind. In the traditional order, the Christian religion sought to nourish the soul and inform the conscience, enabling individuals to become independent, strong, virtuous and just. It would then follow that such individuals, appreciating the dignity of man, would out of true charity and sincere concern seek to carry out both spiritual and corporal works at every opportunity. The chief spiritual works of mercy are: instruct the ignorant (objective truth); admonish the sinner (out of charitable concern for his well-being); counsel the doubtful; comfort the sorrowful; bear wrongs patiently; forgive injuries; pray for the living and the dead.
I am fully aware that this letter will also be subjectively viewed with disdain by "progressive" people. So be it. Christians know that they are to pray even for those who seek to malign them. M. Strangward

Agricultural plan takes root
Vernon Butcher Shop
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Coldstream politicians believe a vision for agriculture has been established in the community. On Thursday, council adopted an agricultural plan and it will be added to the municipality’s official community plan. “It’s important for there to be a focus on agriculture because it’s an important part of the economic system,” said Coun. Richard Enns. “There are good approaches that will benefit farmers in how they use the land. There’s opportunities for agri-tourism and housing for farm workers.” The process leading to the agricultural plan has been underway for a number of years. “It’s been a long time coming,” said Coun. Maria Besso. “I’m hoping it will help preserve the rural character of Coldstream. It will reiterate the importance of helping farmers and we could possibly encourage farmers’ markets or urban chickens.” While most of the jurisdiction for agricultural land use falls with the provincial government, Besso says there is a need for the municipality to get involved because farming is vital to many local families.
“There are good approaches that will benefit farmers.” — Richard Enns “The plan states the district will advocate on behalf of agriculture,” she said. However, parts of the plan have come under fire. Some property owners are upset with limiting future parcel sizes in the Agricultural Land Reserve to a minimum of 10 hectares (24.7 acres). The minimum is currently set at two hectares (approximately five acres). Critics claim that large parcels are too expensive to purchase and that will deter people from entering farming. Besso, though, says lot sizes will be addressed during a zoning process and she believes limiting future parcel sizes is important. “Much of Coldstream is already subdivided into small parcels so this is just preserving the large lots that are left,” she said.

It could cost about $10 million to develop each of the shelled-in floors for use by patients, and then $10 million each annually to operate the floors. Besso, as well as other Coldstream residents, participated in a recent rally outside of the hospital. “When people get together and make their voice heard, it makes a difference,” she said. Besides a hard-cop petition, there is also a petition available online at www.petitiononlinecanada.com/petition/ vjh-purple-ribbon-campaignpetition/136.

YOU AND THE LAW “THIN SKULL” AND “EGGSHELL PERSONALITY” By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. You are usually entitled to be compensated for physical injuries, like whiplash or a broken arm, if you were hurt in a motor vehicle accident and the crash was the fault of another. But what happens if the injury you suffered was greater than a normal person would have sustained from the same crash because you were particularly vulnerable, either physically or emotionally? The basic principle is this: the court will try to award compensation that will (as far as money can do so) put you back in the same position you were in before the accident happened. If you were particularly vulnerable physically (e.g., suffered a bone fracture from the accident where a normal, more sturdy person would only have gotten a bruise), you can typically recover for your actual injury. The principle here is that the defendant must take their victim as they find them – the “thin skull” rule. Likewise, if you happen to be particularly fragile emotionally, so the accident causes you greater-than-normal psychological problems, the person at fault must bear that risk and compensate you – sometimes dubbed the “eggshell personality” principle.
Richard
For example, take the recent case of Ms. P, 56 years old at the date of trial. She was a passenger in two separate car crashes, one in 2007 and a more minor one in 2009. Before the accidents, she suffered from various health issues. These included past post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to a tragic history of physical and sexual abuse as a child. She also had problems with her legs and feet, multiple areas of pain going as far back as 2003, and a history of depression and past heroin and alcohol abuse.

However, she had begun to put her life together in the years before the accidents. She had been clean and sober for several years and was engaged in some volunteer work. She had also undertaken some modest educational and some limited employment activities. But the two accidents worsened her pre-existing conditions and caused her new injuries. The judge decided that before the first accident, Ms. P was a person of some fragility with respect to both her physical and emotional health. She was more at risk for emotional or psychological trauma than a normal person without her medical history would be (i.e., she was a “thin skull” or “eggshell personality” type). While an average healthy individual involved in the same accidents as Ms. P may have suffered similar physical injuries, that person would not be as susceptible to (i.e. at the same risk of) suffering the same kind of psychological damage as Ms. P. As a result, when the judge assessed her damages or losses, he attributed some of them to her pre-existing health problems, for P. Barton which the defendant drivers were not responsible – so she could not recover for those. But she was entitled to compensation for both her physical injuries, (which included soft tissue injuries) and her psychological injuries (which included chronic pain syndrome, PTSD and depressive disorder) attributable to the two car crashes. If you are involved in a car crash, where you were not at fault, you may qualify for damages for greater-than-normal physical or emotional problems that you sustained due to your unique constitution. Also, a pre-existing history of health problems does not prevent you from recovery, although it may limit the amount you can claim from the defendant. Consult your lawyer for advice.

Steve Johnson treks through Vernon Friday as part of his Walk for Japan from Edmonton to Vancouver to bring public awareness to the ongoing efforts to rebuild Japan. PHONE FOR PRE-APPROVAL
FRIENDLY LENDERS … “WE CARE”
Hitting the road for Japan JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
One man is making strides to bring Japan back into the public eye as the country’s road to recovery continues. Steve Johnson was in Vernon Friday as part of his Gambaro Japan! Walk for Japan from the Edmonton Japanese Community Association Centre to its counterpart in Vancouver. The teacher from St.Albert, Alta., was living and teaching in
Japan for the past eight years and returned to Canada several months before the earthquake and tsunami hit. Since the disaster on March 11, the story in Japan has faded from the headlines, but the country remains on a long road to recovery. Therefore, Johnson is putting his message in motion to draw attention back to relief efforts. “That’s the nature of the beast with the media,” said Johnson, trekking down Old
Kamloops Road. “But the recovery is still very much going on. It’s going to be years to come. Not just rebuilding but physical and emotional recovery.” Walking an average of 40 kilometers a day, seven hours a day for 31 days (with seven rest days in the mix), Johnson’s message in motion is getting around. “It’s sparking people’s interest and passion,” he said, noting all those who have been
inspired to not only donate, but send letters of hope to Japan, host their own fundraising events, or simply “like” his cause on Facebook. “My wife, as a Japanese person, has been very impressed by Canada’s passion,” said Johnson, who met Yoshimi Tanaka, a fellow teacher, in Japan. Johnson’s trek began June 19 and he is scheduled to arrive in Vancouver July 26. For more information visit www.walkforjapan.blogspot.com.

Scam reported Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan residents are being warned of an alleged scam. Officers have been advised of a situation where residents receive a letter from someone claiming to have been engaged by a company to check service levels. “They send a cheque for $974,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “The instructions are to cash it and then keep a portion for yourself and send $813.00 to them. What participants have learned in the past is this: if your bank accepts the cheque and you send the money you will quickly learn the cheque is a fake and you will be out the cash you wired out or spent.” Contact with the company mentioned in the letter confirms they do not conduct these kinds of surveys. “The RCMP wants to advise everyone to always be careful and
alert to all types of scams. Always check it out,” said Molendyk. “One place to look is the Better Business Bureau website under top 10 scams. This type of scam is listed in the seventh category along with the grandparent scam and others. Be careful and remember that if it looks too good to be true it likely is.”
“People are more than just open to the concept.” — Jim Edgson

the last three years’ expenses and revenues and they will look at what it takes to adequately run the hall,” said MacIver. “We don’t want it to be an onerous burden on taxpayers.” Jim Edgson, RDCO director for the North Westside, believes Wednesday’s meeting indicated that there’s at least public support for taking the tax to referendum. “People are more than just open to the concept,” he said. “There was some frank and open discussion. It was a very vital discussion.” However, Edgson admits that there are a number of legislative steps that must occur if there is to be a referendum in November. “What’s proposed is a draft and there’s still a lot of work to do. There are timelines we have to do,” he said.

There’s interest among some North Westside residents to hike taxes for their community hall. A meeting was held Wednesday to discuss the North Westside Communities Association’s proposal for a referendum on a tax designated for maintenance and capital needs at the Udell Road hall. “We wanted to get feedback from residents and where they want to go with this,” said Marsali MacIver, association president. Based on the meeting, the association has asked the Regional District of Central Okanagan to initiate the process for a referendum this November. “The regional district has staff working on what needs to go to Victoria,” said MacIver of the provincial legislative process required to establish referendums. The association has suggested that a specific tax is necessary to ensure there are sufficient financial resources to maintain the hall and prepare for any long-term capital needs. Presently, operating funds come from association membership dues. If the levy were to proceed, a rate has not been determined yet. “We have sent the regional district a budget on

News Roof climb costs Lumby youth Morning Star Staff

Members of the Vernon Radio Controlled Aeromodelers Society will participate in the Christmas in July fundraiser for the Armstrong food bank July 23 at the IPE Fairgrounds.
Fundraiser hits new heights ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Christmas in July will have an extra buzz for the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club in Armstrong. The group’s annual summer fundraiser for the local food bank, set for Saturday, July 23 from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the IPE Fairgrounds, will feature the Vernon Radio Controlled Aeromodelers Society. “The group will have a number of their best pilots flying about 12 to 15 of their coolest planes,” said Andrea Schnell, event organizer, with the Boys and Girls Club. “They’ll be putting on a full air show, doing lot of tricks.” Steve Hughes, event director and zone director for the Model Aeronautics Association of Canada, said the aircraft involved in the show will each have between six-to-10-foot wing spans. “We will have scale demonstration World War II aircraft, we’ll have an electric combat demonstration, a 3D heli and scale heli demonstration, and we’ll have two high wing training aircraft for the public to enjoy,” said Hughes. There will also be a number of radio controlled planes stationary on the ground for the public to have a look at. A flight simulator will also be available during the event. Valley First Credit Union will be providing a barbecue on site, part of the credit union’s Feed the Valley campaign. There will also be a craft booth set up where kids can make their own airplane to take home with them.

Westside reservoir gets nod Morning Star Staff
The Regional District of Central Okanagan board has authorized a contract for construction of a reservoir for part of the North Westside area. The new reservoir will serve the Upper Fintry, Shalal Road and Valley of the Sun subdivisions. “The bid of $736,166, excluding harmonized sales tax, plus a $73,617.70 contingency by Greyback Construction was the lower of six qualified bids received,” said Bruce Smith, regional district communications co-ordinator. Construction on the 1.4-million litre reser-
voir for the new water system should be complete by this fall. “It will for the first time, provide water ser-
vice to more than 340 properties in the three subdivisions adjacent to North Westside Road,” said Smith.

A band-aid fix to the closure of the Vernon Women’s Centre has been given a little more sticking power. Since the closure, The Gateway Shelter has been serving more clients seeking showers, laundry facilities and hygiene products. And to help them serve the increased demand, United Way of North Okanagan Columbia Shuswap is pitching in with $2,250. “Now with this funding from United Way we are better able to meet that gap that was created with the closing of the women’s centre,” said Kelly Fehr, manager of shelter services at Gateway. Along with Gateway and United Way, the John Howard Society, Vernon Women’s Transition House Society and a few others are working together to fill the demand for services, But Fehr admits it is not a long-term solution.

“It’s just a band-aid fix.” Linda Yule, executive director of the local United Way chapter adds: “We realize that this only addresses part of the issues arising from the Vernon Women’s Centre closing, however, there are groups actively trying to secure a ‘women only’ meeting place for the former VWC clients.” The funds from United Way were made available after one of its funded groups did not complete their program. “So we had some leeway to be able to respond to this emerging need in our community.”

Ebbett ready for B.C. return GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Andrew Ebbett will definitely be sending a big thank you card to his agent, Alec Schall, for the belated wedding gift he received. After getting married last month in Ann Arbor, Mich., Ebbett and his new bride, Maggie, were kicking back on an eastern Mediterranean cruise for their honeymoon when he received an e-mail from Schall saying: “Happy wedding gift. We got you a deal.” Schall was referring to a one-year, one-way NHL contract with the Vancouver Canucks, who picked up Ebbett July 1, the first day of offseason free agency. “I was in shock for the first 24 hours. My wife and I were sitting there and we couldn’t believe we were going back to Vancouver,” said Ebbett, who first met Maggie when he played in the NCAA with the University of Michigan Wolverines. “Going back, it’s pretty exciting, especially with the season they (Canucks) had, being one game away from winning the Stanley Cup. “They’ve got all-stars all over the roster, and that’s why they’ve had such great success. The depth they have is tremendous and I’m just looking forward to chipping in wherever I can and maybe go one game further this year.” Ebbett, a 28-year-old centre, earned a shot with the Anaheim Ducks as an undrafted free agent, playing three games in 2007-08. He has since had stints with the Chicago Blackhawks, Minnesota Wild and Phoenix Coyotes, where he posted two goals and three assists playing limited minutes in 33 games last season. After bouncing around the league so much to start his career, getting some stability in the form of a one-way contract was huge for Ebbett. “That was our goal coming into July 1, trying to find some security. My wife has been doing most of the work, packing us up and moving city to city,” said Ebbett, who moved to Vernon from Calgary at age six. “It’s nice they put the confidence in me to give me that one-way deal. I just have to be ready to return the favour and come ready in September.” Ebbett is good friends with former Canuck and Wolverines’ grad Jeff Tambellini, who recently signed a three-year deal in the Swiss league. Before July 1, Ebbett was wondering if he might be joining him across the pond. “I was close to going over there two weeks ago.

Vernon’s Andrew Ebbett (left), playing with the Phoenix Coyotes, tangles with Jannik Hansen of the Vancouver Canucks in NHL action last season. The two will be teammates this year after Ebbett, 27, signed with the Canucks as an unrestricted free agent. There are some good opportunities to be had over there, but ultimately you want to be playing over here.” At 5-foot-9, 174 pounds, Ebbett doesn’t have the muscle to play like a fourth-line grinder. Instead, he offers speed, vision and versatility. He has basically been a point-a-game player at the AHL level, recording 204 points in 210 games over four seasons. Ebbett also showed he can produce in the NHL if given the chance, racking up 8-24-32 and a plus-8 rating in 48 games in his rookie campaign with the Ducks in 2008-09. “I can play all three forward positions, anywhere from the second to fourth line. I’ll step
in wherever they need to fill some holes and do whatever I can, and maybe get back to a few years ago in Anaheim where I was putting up some points,” said Ebbett, a former Salmon Arm SilverBack. “It’s about getting that opportunity and taking advantage of it.” After capping the honeymoon with a few days in Rome, the Ebbetts are back in Michigan where Andrew is already back in training mode in preparation for the coming season. He does group workouts with other pros in Michigan, including former Wolverines Kevin Porter (Colorado Avalanche), Matt Hunwick (Avalanche) and Jack Johnson (L.A. Kings).
Raiders regroup to turn back Tigers Morning Star Staff
Head coach Myles Brumpton called it a warrior’s effort. Missing six regulars to injury and work commitments, the Vernon Re/Max Tigers visited the Kelowna Raiders Thursday night at Memorial Arena, falling 6-5 in a seriesdeciding Game 3 of their Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League semifinal. The regular-season champion Raiders advance to the best-of-five league finals, and will host the winner of the Armstrong Shamrocks-Kamloops Venom semifinal for Game 1, Tuesday at Memorial. The Rocks hosted the Venom for Game 3 of their semi Saturday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. “It was our game. We were up 2-0 (on goals by
Godard headed to Big D
Riley Soleway and Cole Lawrie) right out of the gate,” said Brumpton. “For the second game in a row, we really punished them. And once again, it was a great team effort.” Tyler French, who plays with the BCHL Westside Warriors, answered for the Raiders with a deuce later in the first period to tie the game. Kelowna cranked up the offence in the second frame, scoring three of four goals on clean breakaways. Ryan Phillips, Ryley McLennan, Shawn Hochhausen and Evan Helgesen all found the net for the hosts. Braden Barr and Connor Payne replied for Vernon. “They started to figure out our wheel and we
didn’t adjust,” said Brumpton. Speedy Jay Seaton pulled Vernon within a goal in the third frame, but Kelowna keeper Tanner Belsham (35 saves) shut the door after that. Josh point recorded 29 stops for the Cats. “Josh Point played an outstanding game. He figured their shooters out very quickly,” said Brumpton. The Tigers will lose five veterans to graduation – Mitch Steele, Brennan Plante, Joey Klein, Soleway and Darren Kirby. “I thank the veterans for their leadership and guidance. It it going to help us bring forward a strong work ethic and solid foundation to build on. “As much as it hurts to lose those guys, we’re going to have a dynamite team next year with the seasoning our rookies had this year.”
The Dallas Stars have secured the services of Vernon’s Eric Godard for the next two seasons. After playing the last three years with the Pittsburgh Penguins, the 6-foot-4, 214pound heavyweight enforcer agreed to a two-year contract with Dallas. The first year of the deal is a twoway deal worth $750,000/$105,000 while the second year is a one-way agreement worth $700,000. Godard, 31, appeared in 19 games with the Pens last season, earning three assists, a plus4 rating and 105 penalty minutes. According to www.hockeyfights. com, he scrapped seven times in 2010-11. Godard, who won a Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh in 2009, has played in 335 career NHL games, scoring three goals and 12 assists for 18 points. In eight NHL seasons, he has accrued 833 penalty minutes and has appeared in seven career playoff games, registering one assist and six penalty minutes. Originally signed as a free agent by the Florida Panthers in 1999, he has also played for the New York Islanders and Calgary Flames before joining Pittsburgh as a free agent in 2008.

Shamrocks’ keeper Chad Pieper (34 stops) credited his counterpart, Glen Clissold (58 saves), for helping Vernon preserve the early lead. “We ran into a hot goalie for two periods, but in the third we could see their legs starting to go and we started putting the ball in the net. To score five in a row, it’s a pretty good feeling,” said Pieper. Meanwhile, the host Kelowna Raiders secured first place with
a 7-6 comeback win over the Rattlers Friday night at Memorial Arena. After building a solid lead early in the first period, Kelowna (7-5) fell behind after they started taking undisciplined penalties. Trailing until the final minutes of the game, captain Kyle MacLennan scored with less than two minutes to go, followed by Luke Bailey’s equalizer shortly after. Steve Plasko buried the winner with less than 30 seconds to play.
David Rose of West Vancouver fired a final round 2-under-par 70 to win the 109th annual B.C. Amateur Golf Championship Friday at The Dunes in Kamloops. Rose, 22, used a hot putter to drain five birdies to finish the tournament at 13-under-par 275. Toronto’s Richard Jung began the final round leading by four strokes but only managed two birdies while carding five bogeys and a double bogey to finish with a 5-over-par 77 to put him in a twoway tie for second place with Kevin Carrigan, of Victoria, at 10-underpar 278. The top local finisher at The Dunes was Vernon’s Conner Kozak, who finished tied for 34th at 3-over 291 after shooting a 2-over 74 in his final round. Justin Wurz of Vernon Golf & Country Club finished tied for 68th with a 10-over 298. Coldstream’s David Szestopalow of Predator Ridge placed 71st with a 13-over 301. Rose, Carrigan and Wilson will represent B.C. at the Canadian men’s amateurs, Aug. 9-14, in Winnipeg.

After dropping three consecutive one-goal games, the Armstrong Shamrocks found themselves on the right side of the scoreline with a 7-5 comeback win over the Vernon Tigers Friday night at Wesbild Centre. First star Jarrett Medhurst fired a hat trick for the Irish, who end the Okanagan X-treme Lacrosse League regular season at 6-6. The Tigers, now 5-6, end their schedule Wednesday by hosting the Kamloops Rattlers, also 5-6, at Wesbild. Rob Short supplied both goals, the second on a powerplay, as the Tigers stormed out to a 2-0 lead after the first period. Vernon went up 4-2 after two periods as Andrew Hamilton and Short, with his hat trick goal, found the net for the Cats. Chad Pounder and Medhurst, on a 5-on3 with seven seconds remaining in the period, answered for the Rocks. Theo Wagner gave Vernon a 5-2 lead three minutes into the third, but it was all Armstrong after that as they stormed back with five unanswered goals, four coming in a five-minute stretch in the middle of the period. Second star Logan Strohm (1+3) and Medhurst helped ignite the Armstrong attack with great goals on fast breaks. Thomas Belenger, Kriss Yargeau and Medhurt completed the rally. “I think it just came down to numbers. We had a couple guys banged up and at the end there we just ran out of gas. Other than that it was a good game. As soon as we get more guys out, we can beat any team in this league any

Controllers clamp down Drillers FREE 500 Airmiles Morning Star Staff
Playing a rare Thursday night game, the Vernon Controllers scrambled enough of their team to earn a 5-1 win over Goplen Drillers in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division action on Marshall Field #4. Neither team had a full roster for the 6:30 kickoff, but the Controllers’ Jenny Currie made up for her late appearance with a perfect through ball to Danielle Dunsmore for an easy finish. Corinne McWhinney sent Deana Baker to the corner where McWhinney drove a 25-yarder under the bar to make it 2-0 just before the half. Short players and losing one who tried to comeback early from an injury, the Drillers kept pressing, with Tina Garrison forcing keeper Leslie Epp to make a great save on a blast from fifteen yards out. McWhinney set up Jackie Nuyens for the Controllers’ third strike early in the second half. Baker then had a corner deflect off a defender and onto the foot of Shaun Yargeau, who drove it top left corner past
keeper Shaun Nickoli, who had no chance. Minutes later, Nickoli made a stellar save with her fingertips as Baker sent a 30-yard laser looking for top corner. Drillers (4-6-3) were awarded a penalty shot, but Epp made a great save to keep the Drillers off the score sheet. Shelley Zupp, on a feed from Lena Urquart, spoiled Epp’s shutout bid after some relentless pressure. Baker, taking a beautiful cross from Dunsmore without breaking stride, buried a 20-yard rocket to complete the scoring as the Controllers improved to 8-3-2. The Drillers, with only nine players, suffered a fatigue setback late in the second half and had trouble covering the full force of the Controllers attack. Defenders Nancy Nickoli, Tracey Hill and Karen Zupp were outstanding despite the score. Jodi Peshko, Tina Garrison and Stephanie Curtis were a force at midfield.
Bosman crew blanks Toyota Meanwhile, in a Okanagan Oldtimers 35+ League makeup game, Bosman Accounting used a second-half barrage
to bury Vernon Toyota 4-0 Thursday at Marshall #5. Playing against strong winds in the first half, Bosman (3-9-0) struggled to generate offence. Toyota (5-6) hit a post. In the second half, the accountants came out on the attack, earning a quick goal by winger Ian Murphy, who connected on a 25-yarder. Minutes later, Bosman midfielder Glenn Wilson and forward Steve Smith clicked on the left wing, with Wilson serving Smith for an 18-yard strike to the lower left corner. Midway through the second half, left winger Carl McLennan went on a solo run, scampering in from the left side and finishing perfectly in the right corner. Bosman was awarded a free kick when Simon Woodward, after a long pass from Mike Barrajon, was taken down between two carmen. Smith curled the ball in for final goal. The Bosman defence was rock-solid, with Sean Wiebe, Mike Gilman, Nathan Bartel and Greg Sol patrolling the backline. Keeper Guy Paulsen earned the shutout.

U15s strike Seattle silver
GRANFONDO
Morning Star Staff
A trio of local soccer products helped the Thompson Okanagan Under 15 B team claim silver in the U16 division at the Sounders FA Cup in Seattle. The tourney attracted teams from Mexico, U.S. and Canada, and was hosted at the Sounders’ Starfire training centre. Vernon’s Dylan Towns chipped in with a tournament goal in helping Thompson Okanagan record a 2-0-1 record in preliminary action. Vernon keeper Victor Gouchee
and Coldstream’s Noah Varley also played, helping their team collect 12 goals for and only two against. TOFC stuffed the host Sounders 2-0 in the semifinals. In the final, Thompson Okanagan fell 2-0 to FWRC Green, who had previously held them to a 1-1 draw in the group qualifying stage.

Euro girls relish experience Morning Star Staff
The last week has been an international whirlwind for Vernon United Under 18 Girls Euro travel team. Before it’s over, they will witness a new soccer champion crowned today in Frankfurt as Japan takes on powerhouse U.S. in the gold-medal game of the Women’s World Cup. United, coached by Ron Krause, got its first taste of overseas action last weekend, bowing 6-0 to the Blackburn Rovers Soccer Academy in Manchester, England. Having to play just 17 hours after arriving in the U.K., United, who donned stylish red Canadian jerseys, struggled on the field. Keeper Aynsley Orobko was spectacular in net as she prevented the score going into double digits. Ashley Krause had Vernon’s best chance when she deflected a shot from Sachiko Ouchi, just missing the post. Off the pitch, the Vernon girls toured Liverpool, and followed that with a visit to historic Old Trafford, home of Manchester United.
In their second international friendly, United bowed 5-1 to Urmston Meadowside LFC, another English girls squad. Krause recorded her club’s first international goal by curling a corner kick directly into the net. Katie Annand and Lindsey Krause also had solid games. Holly Ketter suffered a groin strain, and had to be used sparingly. Later in the week, United flew to Frankfurt and travelled onto Viernheim, Germany. After some sightseeing Wednesday, the girls took in the World Cup semifinal between Japan and Sweden. The team supported Ouchi in cheering for Japan, who earned a 3-1 decision to advance to the final. United visited Heidelberg, Germany Thursday to play their third international against TSV Amicita Viernheim. They visited Europa Park Friday, and played their final international match against FC Starkenburgia Heppenheim Saturday. United returns home Monday.

Going up against competitors from across B.C., Coldstream’s Emma Elders, eight, riding Bumble Buzz, had seven clear rounds in eight classes to collect the two-foot Jumper Champion award, plus the Reserve Champion in the cross rails division. Elders, a Grade 3 Lavington Elementry student, is an avid ringette player. Emma Watts, riding Gowabunga, claimed the 2-foot-3 Jumper Champion award, and was Reserve Champion in the two-foot class. Watts, a Grade 9 Fulton student, trains both ponies while maintaining an outstanding academic record at school. Both Emmas train at CSP Stables in Coldstream, owned by Nell Elders.

Couple celebrates 50th It is with great pleasure that Ron and Violet (Vi) Morgan announce their golden anniversary. It was June 24, 1961, when they shared their wedding vows together in the old Vernon United Church on 27th Street. Vi was born in Vernon and lived here for 10 years before moving to Sugar Lake where she attended Cherryville School. At a very young age she travelled to Edmonton where she worked for the Provincial Government. In 1957 she moved back to Vernon and worked for Krippes-Chanasyk Realty and then for Eatons for approximately 17 years. In 1959 she had the honour of becoming Miss Vernon. Ron was also born in Vernon. His passion for hockey would see him off playing Junior A hockey for the Lethbridge Native Sons and the Cleveland Barons at the young age of 16. But he eventually moved back to Vernon to play hockey for the Vernon Canadians. I seemed like the timing was meant to be, and Ron and Vi would meet, falling in love, and get married. Over the years Ron has held sever positions in the community including manager of the Vernon Beer Distribution Warehouse, Deputy Sheriff, councillor for the City of Vernon as well as trustee for the Vernon and District School Board. Having such a compassionate heart for the less fortunate, Ron started Upper Room Mission in 1980, which just celebrated its 30th anniversary. He also opened the Haven of Hope Ranch for boys in BX which stayed open for a few years. The ranch helped in making special homes for teen boys. Finally, before retiring he had
his own custodial business for 15 years. The Lord has blessed the Morgans with three wonderful children whom they are so very proud of. They have two sons, Jay who married Wendy Williams of Lumby, and Randy who married Laura Kunka of Kelowna and one daughter Holly who is married to Rob Kienlein of Lumby. They are also the proud grandparents of four beautiful granddaughters (Alysha, Kelsey, Kaitlin and Shelby), and four handsome grandsons (Brayden, Sean, Nicky and Kyle). They enjoy attending their many sports, drama and music events, and always feel so proud and blessed. Each one is so very special and brings such joy to their lives. A very big part of their lives was having the privilege of caring for foster children in our home. They were each such a blessing to us and became a very special part of the family. On special occasions like Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas there would always be a number of lonely souls gracing the family table for a delicious meal with all the trimmings. The fellowship was always such a great time of sharing and laughter, and they treasure all the wonderful memories from all the special people they have come to know and love over the years. Now that the Morgans have both retired they are travelling a bit, enjoying the pool, gym, and a wonderful fellowship with their many “bingo and coffee” friends. They give all the glory to our Lord for His guidance, love and grace over the past 50 years and look forward to many

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Make an effort not to be critical when at odds in a discussion with your mate. All it will take is one sour note to spoil the harmony you normally enjoy with your one-and-only. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) All your good intentions will be meaningless if you attempt to give advice on something about which you know little. Remember the old saying: ‘Keep mum when you’re dumb.’ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) When you add things up at the end of the day, only to realize you spent most of your time on trivial endeavors, you won’t think much of yourself. Learn from this experience. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Speak well of family members when talking to others, but don’t credit them with accomplishments they never made. Others might expect them to live up to your phony stories. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) It pays to make certain that you understand every detail in a legal document before you affix your signature to it. Ask questions if you’re unclear about some of the finer points. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Don’t unnecessarily yield some small advantages in your business dealings, thinking your counterpart will automatically grant you something in return. You can’t count on it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Guard against inclinations to take at face value information coming from someone you don’t know anything about. This person might be an expert at misleading people.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) If you’re not careful, you can easily misuse your imagination in an unproductive manner for emotional reasons. Unfortunately, you’re good at concocting alibis for things you want to be true, but aren’t. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Do not talk ill about a mutual friend who isn’t around at the moment, even if what you have to say is true. No one is perfect, including you, and what goes around comes around. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Someone who loves to tattle on others has his or her eyes on you, so be sure to walk the straight and narrow. The slightest indiscretion will end up being the subject of gossip. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Words of wisdom could spring from some very unlikely sources, so be attentive to what everybody has to say, even those for whom you have little respect.
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.

Kids keeping brain and body active CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Some Mission Hill Elementary students are back at school for the summer holidays and they're happy about it. "It's fun. It's really nice to be here having fun. I love the sports, especially the soccer and the kickball," said Riya Dhand, one of 27 students going into Grades 2, 3 and 4 who are taking part in the summer reading and sports camp. It's the first time for the school district summer reading program at the school and staff members decided to add a sports component to keep the students active, thanks to donations from the Rienie Holland Sports Foundation and National Bank Financial. The students spend two hours each morning doing a variety of reading activities with qualified teachers. "This helps the students keep up the momentum of the learning of the school year and adding the sports makes it more of a camp experience for the children," said Mission Hill principal Candy Siegmueller.

The students are allowed to choose books to take home to read. "The reading is fun. There are hundreds of books. I really like books," said Arielle Vance. "I really like to do the sports, too. I'd like it if we could do volleyball." There are some English as a second language students in the camp who appreciate the chance to work more on English.

Music students Liam Cooper (left), Anika Kintzel and Meighan Kerr are the recipients of community service awards handed out by the B.C. Provincial Registered Music Teachers. The purpose of the award is to encourage students to take their music out into the community, which these students did by playing in seniors homes.
Emotional education on the rise BETTY BROWN Special to the Morning Star
Archbishop Desmond Tutu once said “educating the mind without educating the heart has produced brilliant scientists who used their intelligence for evil.” Think about it. Would you rather work or spend time with someone who is clever and quick or someone who is kind, compassionate and can make good decisions? Well the good news is that you can have it all. Something called social and emotional learning (SEL) offers educators, families and communities the tools to prepare students for “the tests of life, not a life of tests.” SEL teaches skills like self awareness, emotional control, empathy, self confidence, and responsible decision making. Research shows kids taking SEL programs also rank up to 11 per cent higher on academic
tests. B.C.’s mental health plan states that mental health is the foundation for overall health and well being. According to the Mental Health Commission of Canada, about 70 per cent of mental health problems start in childhood and adolescence and then persist into adulthood – making prevention and treatment during the early years critical. Schools have a unique ability to address all students and are one of the best places to provide supports such as SEL that promote positive mental health. Creating a caring and safe learning place is the basis for both SEL and academic achievement and teachers hold the key. We have all heard of the traditional three Rs of learning, reading, writing and arithmetic, but another R is gaining popularity with parents and educators - rela-
tionships. Three UBC professors are actively working to bring the fourth R into the education system. Doctors Hymel, SchonertReichl and Miller are developing course work in social emotional learning and development for teachers to help their future students succeed in both school and life. Unfortunately, these teacher training courses are not yet mandatory. Find out what’s happening in your school or classroom. Speak with your child’s teacher or principal, and remember to be kind. For more info on social emotional learning visit the collaborative for academic social and emotional learning website www. casel.org or contact Betty Brown at Betty.Brown@interiorhealth. ca.

Morning Star Staff
At the June 22 weekly luncheon meeting of the Rotary Club of Vernon, an old friend dropped by to say hello. Hauke Mueller from Essen, Germany and his wife Christiane were in attendance.
“I cannot emphasize enough how thankful I am...” — Mueller Mueller had been a Rotary international youth exchange student at Vernon Secondary School during 1982-83. He stayed with four families during his Grade 12 year: the Hunters, the Hickenbottoms, Betty
and Jack Peters, and Betty and Harvey Gee. After his exchange was over, Meuller returned to Germany and studied law. He and Christiane got married and moved to Berlin where he took a job with Coca Cola. They have two daughters Hanna, 19, and Luise, 17. Continuing the family tradition, Luise spent the last year in
Vernon as well. She was an exchange student at Kalamalka Secondary School and stayed with Alan Gee and his family. Gee was actually Meuller’s host brother when he was in Vernon. “Looking back, the rotary exchange program, the opportunities and the friendly people I met while I was on it all those years ago, were pivotal
and defining for me,” said Meuller. “I cannot emphasize enough how thankful I am, especially towards my host families.” Alan Gee and his family visited the Muellers in Berlin two years ago, as have Berry and Harvey Gee, and the Peters. The Muellers have also hosted three exchange students of their own in Germany.

Fogerty, James rev up speedway
I
t was 1992, and I was on a bus tour heading from Modesto, Calif.. north on I-5 when we went through the town of Lodi, Calif. I looked out the windows of the tour bus and, to no one in particular on the bus, I started singing the song Lodi, by Creedence Clearwater Revival, my all-time personal CCR fave. Some people thought I was making the lyrics up as we went through the sleepy northern California town. I just laughed and said, “No, just singing along to John Fogerty,” the CCR founder and lead singer who wrote the song. Thursday night, I got to sing it again with Fogerty playing along, approximately 20 feet in front of me, at the MotoPlex Speedway in Spallumcheen. As I said to Rona, the media relations coordinator for Fogerty’s appearance, as Fogerty belted out Lodi, I can die a happy man now. The 66-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member delivered an amazing twohour show in front of an older, appreciative crowd of nearly 4,000 at the speedway. Looking and sounding great at 66, Fogerty opened his show with six consecutive songs from the CCR catelogue: Hey Tonight; Green River; Who’ll Stop The Rain (a song he wrote after attend-

who helped set the beat for the night, Fogerty then broke into some of his solo artist songs, like Gunslinger and Don’t You Wish It Was True. Engaging the crowd with a story about his young daughRoger Knox ter, Kelsey, Fogerty was interrupted by a fan who wanted to wish his girlfriend a happy birthday. Fogerty obliged, and continued on with his story about how his lit-

tle girl is a rainbow in his life, then broke into the CCR classic Have You Ever Seen The Rain, much to the delight of the crowd. Next, it was a dynamite cover of Roy Orbison’s Oh Pretty Woman before breaking into another CCR oldie, Keep On Chooglin’, with Fogerty showing his talent with an awesome harmonica riff. He finished the night with a mix of CCR and solo hits, the last five being Down On The Corner, Good Golly Miss Molly, Bad Moon Rising (which
brought about the loudest cheer of the night) and Fortunate Son. Fogerty’s two encores were Up Around the Bend and Proud Mary. If there was a smidge – and I mean so small you need a microscope to see it – of disappointment, it was that Fogerty did not do his biggest solo hit, Centerfield. Nor did he do CCR staples such as Suzie Q, Cotton Fields, Travellin’ Band and I Heard It Through The Grapevine. But I don’t care, and I doubt a vast majority of the crowd cared.
We saw a rock and roll legend, an icon who, for years, did not play any CCR songs, hurt by ongoing disputes with CCR band members and record companies. What we saw on Thursday was a man having a great time, sounding fantastic and playing his music, songs that have lasted nearly 40 years and have resonated with millions. Setting the tone for the evening was Canadian rocker Colin James, a man who, every time I see him – and Thursday was the third time – looks like
he’s enjoying himself more and more each time he takes the stage. Helped out by a four-piece band, James delivered an hour-long set with a mixture of heavy rock, jazz, blues and his stunning version of the Van Morrison hit Into The Mystic. James got the crowd into a party mood with such favourites as Five Long Years and Voodoo Thing. The rain stopped and, with a nearly full moon rising, the North Okanagan was treated to a fine night of fabulous music.
Metal heads make their way to Armstrong KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Those wandering into Armstrong over the next week may notice a few more head bangers than usual, and we’re not talking about bull riders. With the Interior Provincial Exhibition still weeks away, the city is about to become the site of a heavy metal music festival, with approximately 800 fans and musicians expected to arrive in Armstrong Friday and Saturday for the two-day festival. Billed as Western Canada’s largest metal festival, the AOA (Armstrong Open Air)
event was previously held at a private outdoor residence for two years. This year it has opened to the public at a new venue and will feature 22 bands from all over B.C. “We couldn’t find an open air venue for this year’s festival, so we were offered Hassen Arena and everyone was open to holding it there,” said Jesse Valstar, who is part of a core group of six individuals organizing the event. “We have six-to-eight people working with us, and on the day we’re expecting a larger group of volunteers.” Valstar is also performing at the event as
the bass player for Armstrong metal band Odinfist, who were nominated for Metal Recording of the Year at both the 2011 and 2010 B.C. Interior Music Awards. “The bands coming to the festival are some of my colleagues who we’ve met playing in bars around the province. A lot of them contacted us to perform here,” said Valstar, adding that metal music still has a huge following despite it being shunned in the mainstream the past decade or so. Most metal bands had their heyday in the late-’70s,‘80s and early-’90s with groups such as Slayer, Judas Priest and Metallica.
“Heavy metal is fast guitars and fast rhythm sections channeling ones emotions through lyrical content. There’s lots of energy on stage,” said Valstar. “Lots of people like myself like metal that is heavy melodically.” Besides the constant stream of music, the AOA event will include local catering, on-site camping around the IPE fairgrounds, and a beer garden. Anyone under the age of 16 who wants to attend must be with a legal guardian. For more information, visit www. aoa2011.ca.

City opens streets for arts council Morning Star Staff
The streets of Enderby are about to come alive at the 2011 Enderby Arts Festival taking place Saturday. Downtown streets will be closed off for the festivities, which run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and organizers, volunteers from the Enderby & District Arts Council promise a extensive collection of free entertainment. “It’s a day of markets, music, magic and arts,” said Neil Fidler, president of the Enderby Arts Council. “We have never been quite this ambitious.” Cliff Avenue at Highway 97A and the adjacent block of Belvedere Street will be closed off to traffic for the Mall, where visitors and locals will be able to wander to see living statues, jugglers, musicians and more. Near the top of the list is Raiden Taiko (Japanese drummers) from Kamloops. This is the group’s second performance outside their home city, and they will play in the Mall during the afternoon. “Because of the road closures, drivers need to put a bit more planning into parking, heading for the car parks in Russell Avenue or behind City Hall,” said Enderby arts council secretary Alyson Witts. The Shriner clowns will be selling raffle tickets (look for the yellow convertible) to raise funds for operation of the Care Cruiser Bus, which picks up sick children and their caregivers in Enderby and everywhere else in B.C. to take them free of charge to hospitals and to Ronald McDonald House. Merchants are also taking to the streets with displays of goods and services, with comfort food expected to be available for hungry shoppers. The arts festival is anchored by the longestablished Enderby
ber of the Siska First Nation in Lytton, and will be wearing an outfit he made, involving beadwork and a feathered head-dress. His outfit and those of his sons, Joe and Eric, will be on display at the Enderby museum during the Enderby Art Walk, which forms part of the festival. Professional face painter Yvonne Boyd, from the Kootenays,
and her assistant will also spend the whole day transforming faces of any age, while Kelowna magician Ali K. Zam will give four shows in Belvidere Park during the morning. For additional information on the Enderby Arts Festival, contact the Enderby and District Arts Council at 250-838-0577 or visit ender byar tscounc i l . com.
Capsule Comments with
TOM NOLAN When skin cancers are diagnosed early, treatment success can be very high. Carefully inspecting all your skin, looking for spots that are new or have changed colour, size or shape is important. See your doctor if you notice anything unusual. Infertility can be a stressful problem for couples trying to have children. The problem rests 40% of the time with the male and 40% of the time with the woman. One male in 25 has a low sperm count and one in 35 is sterile. Fertility problems strike one in three women over 35. For good information about infertility in Canada, log on to www.iaac.ca. This fall, there will be a new flu vaccine specially for seniors. Called, Fluad, it contains an extra substance to increase its ability to boost the immune response and better protection against the flu. Sometimes, splitting tablets can save money (like splitting a 100mg tablet to get a 50mg dose) but there are some drugs that should not be split. Blood thinners (like warfarin) should not be split because the dose must be very accurate. Drugs with special coatings and timed-release tablets should also not be split. Knowledgeable, approachable, dependable … our pharmacists are all this and more. We’d be happy to fill your next prescription.

that’s about it. I know, I know, kids will probably dig the talking animals (Sandler’s monkey repeatedly advises James that a surefire romantic move is to “fling poop at her,” y’know, just so you can start your “Yes, it’s funny, but terribly inappropriate” talk now, Mom and Dad). But after endless furball features like Cats and Dogs and Marmaduke, this is getting to be the most tired trick in the book. Plus, it’s really not executed all that well in Zookeeper. The mouths on the creatures are flapping away, but the words never quite keep up. Of course, sometimes James has the same problem. The director with Zookeeper is Frank Coraci. If the name sounds familiar, it’s probably because he’s directed a heap of flicks starring Adam Sandler, including The
Waterboy and Click. And thus, a possible problem with suddenly-drooping career of Kevin James. Much like you warn your teens to steer clear of those “bad seeds”, it’s becoming apparent that, after I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry and Grown Ups, the big guy should stop hanging around with Sandler (a co-producer of Zookeeper, by the way)

f you’re in the frame of mind where you’d like a good read to take along to the beach, cabin or campsite, but just don’t have the energy to search for one, the Vernon branch staff has come to the rescue! The following titles are what library staff members are reading and enjoying right now: –– Adventures in Solitude: What Not to Wear to a Nudist Potluck and Maureen Curry Other Stories from Desolation Sound by Grant Lawrence. In this hilarious and captivating book, CBC personality Grant Lawrence adds a new chapter to the saga of Desolation Sound, B.C.’s most popular marine park and a storied piece of coastline. –– Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage by Elizabeth Gilbert. The author of the bestselling Eat, Pray, Love tackles her fears of marriage in this examination of the institution and ultimate clear-eyed celebration of love. (Also available unabridged on CD.) –– True Colors by Kristin Hannah. This novel from the bestselling Hannah is about sisters, vengeance, jealousy, betrayal — and ultimately, what it truly means to be a family. A great summer read, also available unabridged on CD. My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business: A Memoir by Dick Van Dyke. A colourful, loving, richly detailed look at the life of the well-loved television and movie actor who still thinks of himself as a “simple songand-dance man,” but who is, in every sense of the word, a classic entertainer. (Also available in large print.)
OFF THE SHELF
–– A Perfect Mess: The Hidden Benefits of Disorder: How Crammed Closets, Cluttered Offices, and On The Fly Planning Make the World a Better Place by Eric Abrahamson and David H. Freedman. Enthusiastically embraced by readers everywhere, this groundbreaking book is an antidote to the accepted wisdom that tight schedules, neatness, and consistency are the keys to success. –– Chronicles of Ancient Darkness by Michelle Paver. This series of six fantasy books, set in the Stone Age, chronicle the adventures of Torak, an adolescent boy from the Wolf Clan, and his friends Renn and Wolf in their quest to defeat the Soul Eaters, a group of evil clan magicians who seek out to destroy all life in the forest. In youth service librarian Monica Gaucher’s words, “scary and absolutely gripping!” (Also available unabridged on CD.) –– Fallen by Karin Slaughter. Known for her ability to balance an unrelenting suspenseful plot with compelling characters, Slaughter’s latest novel has been widely acclaimed as possibly her best yet. –– Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. Set against the lush backdrop of 1830s Jamaica, Rhys’ powerful, haunting masterpiece was inspired by her fascination with the first Mrs. Rochester, the mad wife in the attic in Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre. (The movie adaptation is also available.) –– My Soul to Take: A Novel of Iceland by Yrsa Sigurdardottir. Long-buried secrets go hand in hand with modern-day murder in the author’s second thriller featuring Thora Gudmundsdottir, lawyer and single mother of two. With its riveting plotting, chilling atmosphere, and smart, compelling heroine, this series will particularly appeal to readers who enjoy mysteries with a Scandinavian setting.

Technology keeps rolling at press JESSICA SCHWITEK Morning Star Staff
The Morning Star has got a lot more colourful lately — literally. Four-hundred-thousand dollars worth of new equipment in the press, located at the rear of The Morning Star’s 25th Avenue building has ramped up the colour quality for the 35,000 newspapers that get sent out every issue to residents of the North Okanagan. “We have three new four-highs (printing units four levels high) and a new SSC folder (the machine that cuts the paper off the end),” said Gus Tonnellier, regional press manager for Black Press, which owns The Morning Star. “They were bought for their colour capacity. All of the papers are asking for more colour these days.” The Vernon press is used for far more than just The Morning Star. The press handles 22 different newspapers a month, not to mention around four million inserts. Among the communities served by the press are New Denver, Salmon Arm, Sicamous, Kamloops, Merritt, Clearwater, Invermere Kelowna, Lumby, Nakusp, Barriere and Lake Country. The high demand on the press means that it runs almost all of the time. “We run 24 hours a day, from Sunday night to Saturday night,” said Tonnellier. It is a challenge that requires 52 employees to keep it running. The new equipment made it necessary to hire four new employees as well, two apprentices and two labourers. Trucks are heading out at all hours to

Profile your life insurance risk
A
s part of your financial plan … as part of your estate plan …as essential protection for your family — any way you look at it, life insurance is important. But do you know that how you live your life can have an impact on the cost and availability of insurance? To obtain insurance, you must qualify — meaning that you must provide evidence of insurability on a range of health, medical, lifestyle and other risk factors through a process called underwriting. Taken together, they add up to your life insurance risk profile. Some risk factors you can’t control but you are much more likely to get insured at rates that fit your budget by lowering those you do control: Age. Intuitively, you probably know that the older you get, the
higher the premiums for your insurance. Although you cannot control your age, you may be able to control some of the other factors that will affect your premium. Remember, the younger you buy your insurance, the lower the premium will be. Smoking. You can anticipate higher insurance costs for using any product that contains Andy Erickson nicotine, including cigarettes, chewing tobacco, snuff, pipe tobacco, cigars and even nicotine supplements like patches or gum. With most companies, you are considered a non-smoker after one year of quitting. Health factors. Your rates may be affected if you have a history of some medical conditions, dependent on the severity, number of occurences and your

current health. In many cases, a standard life insurance policy can be issued. Family history. Many medical conditions are hereditary – especially cancer and cardiovascular disease. If your parents or a sibling died of cancer or heart attack prior to the age of 60, insurance companies may consider you to be of higher risk. But your healthy lifestyle and other health factors can have a positive effect on your insurability and rates. Hobbies and avocations. Scuba diving, motor vehicle racing, skydiving, mountain climbing and any type of flying are considered high risk and if you engage in any of them, you may face higher premiums or an exclusion of coverage while participating in those activities. Driving record. Multiple driving violations, accidents and convictions, especially for driving under the influence of drugs or
alcohol will seriously affect your insurability. Alcohol and drug use. If you are a recreational drug user, or have been treated for these substances, will likely affect your insurability and rates. Travel. Short-term travel for vacation usually doesn’t adversely affect your rates. But continuous or extended travel to specific countries where there is unrest could increase rates. An exclusion of coverage may be applicable, but will depend on several factors. Financial situation and history. If you apply for a large amount of insurance, you may need to disclose specific financial information such as your income level, net worth, assets and liabilities, otherwise only an estimate is required. Detailed financial information is required to obtain business insurance. With personal life insurance, full disclo-
Bookkeeper earns designation Morning Star Staff
The Institute of Professional Bookkeepers of Canada has designated Vernon’s Anne Filippone as a certified professional bookkeeper. Filippone, who owns Precision Accounting, earned the national designation after passing a two-hour, closedbook exam. Anne Filippone The exam was based on generally accepted accounting
principles within the profession and Canadian taxation laws. The IPBC’s national mandate is to institute professional standards specifically for the bookkeeping profession. “Who is the best professional to do the important compliance work required by law of business owners?” said said Gordon Skillen, IPBC executive director. “There are millions of business owners across Canada who depend on the services of a bookkeeper. Business owners and employers will come to demand the CPB designation.”
Trico Homes takes team approach Morning Star Staff
A Vernon company is rallying behind agencies in need. Earlier this year, Trico Homes put together a team of 15 staff and trades and they spent the day doing yard maintenance and painting at the Ukrainian Village seniors residence. “Each month, we have a team building event and we came up with the idea of volunteering. We asked a few of our trades if they wanted to help and together we all had a lot of fun!” said Trico Homes’ Cliff Lattery.
sure of your health at time of application ensures that the insurer has determined your risk and is providing the insurance coverage that is tailored to your individual situation. Unfortunately not all individuals can purchase insurance at
standard rates. That is why it is critical that you work with a professional advisor who can help you get the life insurance coverage you need at a fair and equitable price based on your situation. Andy Erickson is a

Chase the blueberry route RICK MILLIKAN Special To The Morning Star
QUEBEC - Inspired by previous cycling on Quebec’s network of bikeways, my wife Chris and I seek another adventure extraordinaire. Choosing Veloroute des Bleuets, we’ll loop 256-kilometres around Lac St. Jean in six leisurely days. Saturday: Zig-zagging along Lac St. Jean’s southern shore, we stop only to walk our bikes over dams powering local aluminum refineries. We bypass the third aboard a free bike ferry. In Alma, we investigate a cyclist’s visitor centre where banners proclaim the Blueberry Route’s 10th anniversary. This converted church seems ideal for sermons to the mounted! We wind onto a fat shouldered highway for a rural roller-coaster ride above Lac St. Jean and past patchworks of farmland. Veering through a tiny village, we coast down a back road, swoop onto a bike trail crossing a wooden bridge and enter Parc National de la Pointe Taillon. Soon slipping our bikes in a rack, we relax on its immense park beach. Rolling onward, we encounter beaucoup des cyclistes: couples on tandems, groups wearing vibrant shirts and families riding all sized bikes, some pulling trailers filled with tots or camping gear. Trailside storyboards describe elusive beavers and moose. We do spot a golden eagle soaring above, purple finch flitting among the pines and several camouflaged grouse fearlessly sashaying amid undergrowth. Beyond the park our trail morphs into a deserted roadway and wooden bikeway sweeping above the lake. Today’s pedal ends on Ile du Repos at dusk, where we munch takeout paninis on our chalet porch while reviewing this 61-kilometre section; then rest sun-kissed faces and tender tushes. Sunday: We sail to the restored farmRICK MILLIKAN PHOTO house where Louis Hemon lived, worked A couple (above) cycle across a bridge into Parc Point Tallon, while a visitor (below) hangs and developed Maria Chapdelaine.

A cyclist’s paradise to explore Continued from previous page An hour later we ride into Val-Jalbert, above a gushing river that once powered its first-class paper mill. Abandoned when the mill closed, it became a historic park. Rooming in the 1920s general store, we check out this interesting village. Thursday: Donning raincoats, our pedal parallels the lake through Chambord, Desbien and MetabechouanLac-A-La-Croix, then dipsy-doodles through forests and along farmers’ fields. We lunch while drying off in a SaintGedeon microbrewery. When we ask about their potables’ potency, the owner reassures us, “No problème‌ c’est bon fuel pour cycliste.â€? Completing the last 14-kilometres, we pass more bucolic farmland, through rugged forests and over another hydro-dam. Celebrating that evening, we toast our adventure. While praising this region’s unique natural attractions, Bluets culture and delectable cuisine, we savour poached salmon drizzled with blueberry sauce, and blueberr y-chocolate cake.

Mind” in its tracks and helps you to relax. The person who knows how to relax will likely live a longer and happier life. Being able to relax is the best way to deal with stress, because as we all know, stress is one of the primary culprits for illness. Our body is more vulnerable if it belongs to an individual who is stressed all the time. As a clinical hypnotherapist I regularly help people to achieve deep levels of relaxation. Simplistically stated, this is what hypnosis is – a deepened state of relaxation, a slowing down of your brain waves. It can be likened to day dreaming. A lot of you have likely experienced driving somewhere and not being aware of the drive when you arrive at your destination. This is called ‘waking hypnosis’. Deep relaxation allows access to the subconscious mind and can help with many issues……….fears, phobias, anxiety, pain management, calm birthing, smoking cessation, weight loss and stress management. A hypnotherapy colleague in the U.S. (Michael Ellner) says that our lives would be enhanced if we had a happy heart, a peaceful mind and a playful spirit. I agree, but we need to work on getting rid of that monkey first. Carole Fawcett is a clinical hypnotherapist, a professional counsellor and a freelance writer. www.amindfulconnection. com

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder A defense to test almost anyone Computers play bridge poorly because there is unknown information -- the hidden cards. In this deal, for example, a computer program would struggle to defeat three hearts. But, to be fair, so would many humans. What should West lead? How should East plan the defense? North was right to make a takeout double over two spades. And neither East nor West had any reason to bid a second time. (Even two spades could be defeated.) It would be abnormal for West not to start with a spade. However, since he raised spades, he should choose the seven, top of
nothing, to warn East that he does not have a spade honor. East, after taking the first trick with his spade king, must shift to the diamond five. How does he work this out? East and West need five tricks. East should realize that these surely have to be two spades, two diamonds and one club. But to get two diamond tricks, West must have the jack. Also, speed is of the essence. If, for example, East cashes the spade ace at trick two, South will discard dummy’s diamond six on his spade jack. After a diamond to the jack and queen, declarer will draw trumps and play a spade. But East wins with
his ace and shifts to the club seven (high to deny an honor). West takes his ace and returns a diamond to get those five tricks for the defense. Note finally that if West leads the spade three, East will assume his partner has the jack and -- fatally -- take his king and ace.

Jonathan Andrew George Oliphant With sadness we announce the sudden passing of Jonathan Oliphant, beloved husband and father, on July 9, 2011. Jonathan is survived by wife Verena, children Tora, Aidan, and Ian, as well as brother Geoffrey, sister Helen, Uncle Nigel, and countless other cherished family and friends. Jonathan was born June 14, 1960 in London, England and emigrated to Canada at age 2. He spent most of his childhood years in North Vancouver, and then attended Royal Roads Military College. Upon graduation, Jonathan served 4 years in the Navy, acquiring a lifelong thirst for adventure and travel. In 1986 he enrolled in law school in Vancouver, and clerked for the BC Supreme Court for a year prior to completing his Articles. The majority of Jonathan’s legal career was spent working as a Crown Prosecutor, passionately serving the public in both Kamloops and Vernon. Jonathan and Verena were married in 1989, and children Tora, Aidan, and Ian followed in 1995, 1998, and 2001. Jonathan marvelled at the development and accomplishments of his three children. His deep love for them all was apparent in the time he invested in family adventure. Last spring the Oliphant family travelled together through Europe, and created lasting memories as they reconnected with relatives and explored different countries. Jonathan dearly wanted to pass on to the family his great love for the outdoors, and did so by involving them in camping, hiking, biking, cross country skiing, and all manner of sports activities. He himself tackled multiple marathons, triathlons, and even competed at the World Masters Cross Country Skiing Championships last year. Jonathan derived a wicked satisfaction from pushing others into crazy athletic endeavours, creating enduring friendships with many people, and celebrating their accomplishments over good food and wine. Many will remember Jonathan for his patient and unfailing encouragement of all beginner athletes, especially those he taught as a volunteer ski or soccer coach. Jonathan loved learning, and seemed unfazed by beginning new things. Most recently, he added the arts to his menu of abilities, leading him to pursue playing the guitar, singing, and ballroom dancing. A growing faith and curiosity also led Jonathan to study theology. Above all, Jonathan was a genuine friend. Never content with a simple “how are you”, Jonathan got up close and personal with everyone almost immediately. He wielded a killer combination of irreverent wit, sassy boldness, and pure affection, and often turned a surprised stranger into a friend in record time.

McManus, Shirley (nee French)
October 4, 1930 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; July 12, 2011
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Shirley McManus on Tuesday, July 12, 2011 at Vernon Jubilee Hospital with her family by her side. She leaves behind her devoted husband of 53 years, Jim McManus, and three loving children, Tamra (Shaun) Wilson, Robert (Kezia) McManus, and Tracy (Steven) Wilson. She will also be greatly missed by her seven grandchildren Connor, Riley, and Kyle Wilson, Sara and Patrick McManus, and Cameron and Kristen Wilson as well as many close friends and extended family. Shirley was predeceased by her sister Gladys Peters and brothers Jack and Roy French. Shirley was born in Herbert, Saskatchewan and moved to Surrey, BC in 1946 where she lived until she left for Montreal to work. It was there that she met and married Jim McManus in 1957. Soon they moved back to BC, eventually settling in Richmond. Shirley was a stay-at-home mom with her three children until 1981 when she went to work in the Flight Kitchen at Canadian Airlines where she worked for 11 years. In 1993 Shirley and Jim retired to Vernon, BC where she lived until her death. Knitting was one of Shirleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passions and she spent many hours with her busy hands crafting beautiful things for others to enjoy. Shirley loved children and was always involved in her kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; activities, volunteering at the school and as a Brownie leader, as well as cheering at sporting events. She loved to visit and spent many an afternoon sipping coffee happily with friends. Shirley and Jim traveled extensively all over the world; their last big adventure was a Panama cruise for their 50th wedding anniversary. The family would like to thank Sue Ward and the amazing staff at Polson Special for their unparalleled nursing care to our mom for the past nine months as well as all who supported our dad throughout these difÂżcult times. A Celebration of Life for Shirley will be held at 2:00pm on Saturday, July 23, 2011 at The River Club, 11111 Horseshoe Way, Richmond, BC. In lieu of Ă&#x20AC;owers, please consider a donation to one of Shirleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite charities; BC Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, War Amps of BC, or the Salvation Army. Cremation arrangements were in the care of Vernon Funeral Home 250-542-0155. Condolences may be offered at www.vernonfuneralhome.com
It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Caroline â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mayâ&#x20AC;? Myatt, age 91, in the Vernon Hospice July 10, 2011. May was born in Peace River Country on February 29, 1920. She was predeceased by her husband of many years, Jim Myatt. She was a loving mother, grandmother, aunt, caregiver and friend to many. May was known for her heart of gold and was loved and admired for her ability to face life challenges with practicality, integrity, and a sense of adventure. She was a great cook, traveler, family historian and maintained a deep connection to her community and family. Shortly before passing, May herself said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have lived one of the most interesting lives.â&#x20AC;?
