Lisa Froom, general manager of the Upper Room Mission, says there is a need for the agency to change how it provides services to clients.
On a mission for self-reliance RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Self-reliance and independence are being served up at the Upper Room Mission. The non-profit agency will stop providing meals to the general public Saturdays and Sundays because of a concern it’s fostering a sense of entitlement. “Its become habit, it’s familiar,” said Lisa Froom, general manager. “If they’re hungry, they just come here. It’s way too easy.” By turning to the mission consistently, Froom says many people haven’t developed cooking skills or don’t know how to shop or budget. On average, 200 to 250 meals a day are served at the mission. Three public meals a day will continue to be provided Monday to Friday, but it was decided to close on the weekends because other services are available, such as the street lunch program Saturdays at All Saints Anglican Church. Froom also believes people should be able to address their own food needs for one or two
days, and if they can’t, will that lack of selfreliance prevent them from finding a job or going to school. “There’s a dependence and entitlement that’s not healthy,” she said. The new structure has been discussed with the mission’s clients. “The feedback was very positive,” said Froom. “One fellow says he has a stove at his place and he talked to another person and they have eggs. They’re going to get together.” The mission’s board opted for the restructuring because of a shift in demographics. The number of homeless using the mission has decreased while those who are housed — including families and seniors — has grown. There’s been an influx of young people in their early 20s in the last six months. “We’re still available during the week but there are people who could be helping themselves,” said Froom All registered clients will have the ability to participate in Fresh Start, which will focus on health, finances, relationships, self-esteem and
life goals. “We will help them with cooking skills. We want them to be prepared to look after themselves,” said Froom. “We’re not setting anyone up for failure. There will be small successes and we’ll keep moving forward.” Consistent participation in Fresh Start may lead to weekly food hampers being provided. For those people who are truly homeless, nothing will change. The Upper Room Mission will continue to provide meals, seven days a week, for individuals residing at the Gateway Shelter. Froom admits there may be speculation that ending weekend public service is a cost-cutting measure. “Our motivation doesn’t have anything to do with finances,” she said, adding that the charity has a responsibility to donors of food and money. “We want to be good stewards because we’ve been blessed by the community. We want to say to them that we are doing the best we can and are moving people forward.”
Two suspects have been arrested after a local bank was hit with its second robbery in less than a week. The Royal Bank in the Shops at Polson Park was first robbed July 22, then just six days later the bank was victim to its second robbery. In the most recent incident, a lone male entered the RBC around 3:15 p.m. Thursday and demanded cash from the teller. No weapon was produced and the suspect made off with an undisclosed amount of cash. After an extensive search of the area, RCMP received a call from a Lake Country resident at 5 p.m. “He had just observed a male and female come out of the bush across from his residence, the two were sweating heavily and requested water,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “He felt it was strange and should be reported.” Officers attended and two suspects, one with a Lake Country address and another with no fixed address, were arrested a short distance from the Vernon robbery. The police service dog members also attended and conducted an article search in the area of the arrest. Several items of interest to the case were recovered. “The investigation is still continuing into this robbery,” said Molendyk. “In these major investigations the Vernon RCMP deploy a large amount of resources to solve the case, starting with our uniform members and sections like GIS, Identification, Police Service Dogs, and Air Services are utilized.” The RCMP continues to investigate the two robberies at this bank that occurred within one week. “They are working hard to determine if the two robberies are linked,” said Molendyk. Investigators are confident they have made significant progress in the identity of the suspect in the July 22 robbery.

McGrath puts politics aside RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A Vernon resident is stepping back from provincial politics. Wayne McGrath will not seek another term as president during the B.C. Conservative Party’s annual general meeting in Nanaimo Sept. 24. “It’s consumed a lot of time and it’s not healthy to have any one person in a position indefinitely,� said McGrath, who has been president for four years. McGrath, who is a former mayor of Vernon, is pleased with the direction the party has taken in recent years. “We’re moving forward,� he said. The number of constituency associations has grown from one to 51 in four years, while there are 2,000 members and
“It’s consumed a lot of time.� — McGrath policies are being reviewed. “A lot of the interest has to do with John Cummins coming on as leader,� said McGrath of the former MP who became party leader earlier this year. “He is a voice of experience and well respected.� McGrath admits, though, that public opposition to the Liberal government has also helped the Conservatives’ fortunes.
“If the Liberals were doing a good job, there wouldn’t be a chance for any other party,� he said. “There is also still a fear about the NDP and people are looking for an alternative.� A provincial election doesn’t legally have to be held until 2013, but there’s speculation Premier Christy Clark will drop the writ this fall. McGrath isn’t sure if that’s the case. “We will be prepared for an election, we have to be. We’re already recruiting candidates,� he said. McGrath believes the outcome of the referendum on the harmonized sales tax will determine if there is an election. “If it’s extinguished, that could be the last nail in the coffin for the Liberals. People are fed up with how it was brought in.�
Forking out cash for criminal record checks will not become an official Winter Games activity. The City of Vernon’s finance committee confirmed Thursday there is currently no fee for criminal record checks for charities. “They are a legitimate group and the RCMP will cover the work at no charge,� said Coun. Patrick Nicol of Greater Vernon’s 2012 B.C. Winter Games committee. The organizers had asked the city to waive fees, which they speculated could reach $12,500 for 500 volunteers. Akbal Mund, Winter Games president, said the request was made because his group had been led to believe that a B.C.-wide fee for checks would be initiated. “We’re ecstatic that there will be no charge to the volunteers for checks.� The Games committee was concerned that criminal record check fees would significantly impact its budget. “Our goal is to provide a long-term legacy for the community,� said Mund. Because the Games will need about 500 record checks done, the city has held discussions with the RCMP detachment about the logistics involved. “It definitely increases the staff workload,� said Nicol. “They will do it over a period of time so it doesn’t hit the system all at once.� The B.C. Winter Games will be in Greater Vernon from Feb. 23 to 26.

Utilities faced with advisories RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Greater Vernon residents on two different water sources are reminded to be cautious when turning on the tap. A water quality advisory remains in place for Duteau Creek, while an advisory has been initiated for the private Adventure Bay Waterworks. The Duteau Creek advisory was issued June 20 because of maintenance. It was then extended indefinitely because seasonal water sources are being
“We are likely keeping that on until Aug. 15.” — Arnold Badke used to meet irrigation and domestic needs. “We are likely keeping that on until about Aug. 15,” said Arnold Badke, with the Regional District of North Okanagan, which operates the Duteau source. Badke insists the advisory does not indicate a problem with water quality.
“Water quality is good but there is the potential it could go beyond one nephelometric turbidity unit,” said Badke. “Our licensing agreement with the Interior Health Authority says that if we are between one and five NTU, we have to put an advisory on. It’s compulsory.”
It’s expected the water quality advisory will be lifted as peak demand on the Duteau system ends. “Once the flows start decreasing, we will take it off,” said Badke. On Thursday, a water quality advisory was issued for the 300 homes on the Adventure Bay Waterworks, a private utility at the end of Tronson Road. The utility and IHA decided to take this action after tests indicated higher than normal bacteria. Operators are currently working to resolve

Local farmers have cultivated some winter business in Coldstream. A winter farmers’ market is planting its roots at the Coldstream Women’s Institute. The market will run Wednesdays from 2 to 6 p.m. from October to April and will feature local agriculture products. “Farmers wanted more regular markets to produce and sell their wares,” said Anita Fletcher, one of the market organizers. “It will start small and quality is No. 1, and local is an important part of it, and it will go forward as people want it to.” Two special Saturday craft markets are also planned prior to Christmas on Nov. 26 and Dec. 10. Coldstream has waived application fees (worth approximately $1,500) for the market to obtain a business licence and use of the facility (since a market does not conform to the current assembly and private hospital zoning). “We have a desire in Coldstream to host farmers markets,” said Coun. Maria Besso, as outlined in the official community plan and town centre plan.

“It’s something to do with making money.” — Bill Firman But there are some concerns about the market coming to town. “We shouldn’t bankroll it,” said Coun. Bill Firman. “It’s got nothing to do with community service, it’s got nothing to do with charity, it’s something to do with making money.” Parking will also be a concern when the market gets underway, since the Women’s Institute cannot accommodate the required parking. Organizers are looking into renting or using parking spots at the former Coldstream Market location and/or the Coldstream Christian Church.

The suspect in an alleged Coldstream assault will remain in custody. Paul Lyons, 27, appeared in Vernon Provincial Court Thursday and he has been remanded to Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre until Aug. 10 for his next court appearance. He is facing charges of assault with a weapon, uttering threats, assault and aggravated assault. On July 26 at about 8:20 p.m., officers responded to a report of a domestic assault off Buchanan Road. Three people were allegedly beaten with a baseball bat by a man who was known to all three. The victims — two women and a man — suffered bruises to their legs, arms, torsos and face. The women were taken to hospital and one required surgery for a broken arm. A suspect was arrested several hours later in downtown Vernon.

Grid Road ready to be unveiled A major project that revved into gear last year, after sitting idle for more than 20 years, is on route to completion. Instead of forcing motorists over the speed-bump-riddled West Kal Road, or through Vernon, a new connection from Coldstream to Highway 97 is opening up. College Way (the grid road) will open Aug. 9 after a 2 p.m. ceremony. The $9 million project was slightly over the original $8.6 million budget and took a little longer than anticipated. “We believe it is money well spent,” said Michael Stamhuis, chief administrative officer. There were also a number of challenges that arose from the project, having to deal with several ministries, the railway and environmental concerns with the creek. “It’s the largest public works project that we’ve done in history,” said Stamhuis. Although the road provides better access into Coldstream, large commercial vehicles are reminded that use of the road could land them a ticket. “It’s not a truck route,” said Stamhuis. The road, which will include a multiuse pathway, includes an intersection at Kalamalka and Husband roads.

Committee to review compensation for city council RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Anyone running for a seat on Vernon council this fall will know what they’ll get paid. A citizens’ committee will review remuneration for the mayor and councillors elected Nov. 19. “We try and come up with an unbiased committee that can look at this,” said Leon Gous, chief administrative officer. The committee will consist of three members of the public, with at least one having previous elected municipal government experience. The committee will examine data from similar-sized communities and other relevant information before presenting a recommendation to current council. If the recommendation includes a change
“I’m quite happy with the current base pay.” — Bob Spiers in pay, that change does not come into effect until the Jan. 1 following the civic election year.
A remuneration policy, including the citizens’ review, was initiated a few years ago so existing council mem-
bers are not determining their salary. Coun. Bob Spiers doesn’t believe there is a need for elected officials to earn more. “I’m quite happy with the current base pay which allows for a cost of living increase annually,” he said. Presently, the base pay is $63,466.00 annually for the mayor and $20,473 annually each for the six councillors.

Dancing for a cause Morning Star Staff
Local celebrities are dusting off their dance shoes and polishing their moves for the fourth annual Dancing with the Vernon Stars. Digital Dean Photography and Cheek to Cheek Dance Studio present Dancing with the Vernon Stars, a fundraiser for the North Okanagan Hospice Society, on Sept. 30 at the Vernon Recreation Complex auditorium. “When we first started, I knew very little about hospice, now four years later I have personally experienced and better understand the importance of the North Okanagan Hospice Society,” said Lorna Robb of Cheek to Cheek. “My dad, George Robb, died there on March 14 of this year.” A total of 10 dance couples will compete this year. Seven wellknown personalities will grace the dance floor with their Cheek to Cheek instructors and try to win the audience votes and one of two trophies: Audience Favourite and Overall Winner. Three local celebrity couples will also be dancing. Robb is teaching the salsa to David and Carol MacBain (Salvation Army), a nightclub two-step to Christine and Gordon Molendyk (RCMP) and a hustle to Susan Schaffer and Denis Letourneau (Okanagan Symphony). “I can’t play favourites, they are all unique, talented and competitive couples really working hard for a very good cause,” said Robb. Well-known instructor Ruth McGrath is not as diplomatic as she garners votes for her guys. “Charlie Veaudry (Century 21) is doing a sexy West Coast Swing and (Hypnotist) Troy Mitchell will make you melt with his tango,” gushes McGrath. One of last year’s winners, Heather Stranks (Vernon Figure Skating Club) is now a Cheek to Cheek dance instructor and is making Klaus Tribes (KT’s

Goerner contacted Cheek to Cheek after attending the event two years ago. He had been a dance studio owner and instructor in Germany and had recently relo-
cated to Salmon Arm. One of the newer instructors, Jaedan Jensen, is excited to dance with two ladies. Melina Moore (Valley Vocal Arts) will be dancing a cha cha to the song Broadway and Sheila Odney (North Okanagan Hospice Society) will waltz to Edelweiss. And of course, we cannot forget auctioneer, Better Business Bureau consultant and
Kiss FM personality, Kevin Rothwell dancing a foxtrot with lovely instructor Rebekah Cooper. Co-presenter, Dean Cebuliak, of Digital Dean Photography, was a celebrity dancer in the 2009 event. He knows first-hand the commitment and courage it takes to step out of your comfort zone and dance. “As I took a more active role this year in finding sponsors I was amazed at the excitement of local companies to become involved,” said Cebuliak. First on board were Naked Media, The Morning Star, Kiss FM and Wayside Printing. Sponsorships are still rolling in and Robb and Cebuliak are eager to recognize the organizations whose generosity will make the event bigger and better than ever. “On Sept. 30 we will dance for our loved ones who have passed away. We will dance to celebrate a community who understands that the end of your life is just as important as the beginning of your life. We will dance to celebrate the great quality of life we have in the Okanagan and the ability to also have a quality end-of-life experience,” explains Robb. Tickets will soon be available from the dancers, Cheek to Cheek Dance Studio and at the North Okanagan Hospice Society website: www.nohs.ca.

Injured? I can help. Kyle Watts 250. 545. 5344 DavidsonLaw.com
Whiplash Or Neck Injury? Ongoing Pain? Whiplash occurs when the muscles, ligaments, and tendons of the neck and upper back are damaged from a sudden impact that whips the head forward and then backward, or from side to side. The curve and alignment of the neck may be altered, causing pain and decreased neck movement. This type of injury can have many causes, from sports impacts to slips on icy surfaces, but by far the most common cause is a motor vehicle accident. Most people don’t realize that even low-speed, low-impact collisions can cause serious, long-term whiplash injuries. The most common symptoms for whiplash injuries are pain in the neck and upper back region. A headache can often be the main complaint, interfering with a person’s ability to work or go about their daily activities. Sometimes, when the damage irritates the delicate nerve roots of the spine, a person can experience pain, tingling, or weakness radiating into the shoulders, arms, and hands. It is important to keep in mind that sometimes these symptoms take days or even weeks to be experienced. The focus of spinal corrective care for whiplash involves reestablishing and strengthening the normal position of the vertebrae, muscles and ligaments of the neck. This allows the tissues to heal with proper alignment of the neck—the goal being to restore full range of motion and to limit any permanent damage from occurring. If whiplash damage is left uncorrected, it is possible that the natural curve of the neck can be lost, leading to wear-and-tear of the neck joints. Over time, this causes the disks in the neck to break down, and the movement-limiting bone growths of osteoarthritis to occur. If you have experienced a whiplash accident or suffer from any of the above symptoms, you might benefit from visiting qualified Doctor of Chiropractic for an evaluation. We would love it if we could help you!

Coming up short, again
W
atched the B.C. Lions lose their fifth straight game to start the Canadian Football League season Thursday night on television. Aaaaargggggghhhh. After such a successful Vancouver Canucks season, well except for that last game and that riot thing and the fact that they went so far only to come so close and come up empty (heavy sigh), it’s a little tough to swallow being, well, losers. Glenn Mitchell And the tough thing for us fans is that in every game (except maybe the Edmonton game which I confess I didn’t see) the Lions had glorious chances to win, and, well, obviously didn’t. Is there such a thing as playing just well enough to lose? Apparently there is because the Lions are on their way to perfecting it. On my recent holiday I took my family to the Lions home opener at Empire Field against the Calgary Stampeders, so the fact that I’ve made my $400 (tickets, parking, beer, hot dogs, program etc.) investment in the franchise gives me permission to whine a little. Actually it was a great time and fun was had by one and all at the temporary facility that harkens back to the old Empire Stadium where I saw Don Moorhead, Jim Young (who I think I saw but was too chicken to ask), Paul Brothers, Ted Gerela, Jim Evenson and others strutt their stuff (one tip if you go though, try not to have to use the facilities as they are also temporary and in short supply). It was a beautiful day and the mountains were an amazing backdrop for a first half that....fizzled. The number of dropped balls by B.C. receivers and sloppy plays in general by both teams was atrocious, I think the Lions had two first downs in the first half, and it ended mercifully 7-6 for Calgary when they somehow managed to mount a TD drive in the dying seconds. But just when I was rethinking my investment and considering offering my kids ‘services to the
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
Lions for the last part of the game, the second half started with a bang and just got better and better as each team answered the other’s touchdowns until the dust settled and the Lions had lost a 34-32 thriller. We got our money’s worth. And more. Well, except for that nagging feeling that again, like the previous week, the Lions blew a golden chance to win it when the Stamps fumbled the ball in the last minute and all B.C. had to do was advance the ball 20 or 30 yards and kick a winning field goal with no time left on the clock to cap off the most exciting second half of football ever at Empire Field. Except they didn’t do it. Kind of like Thursday night against Winnipeg when they needed a big play to win it in the dying minutes. Or the week before against Hamilton when the game was within reach, but alas. Now the beauty, and of course frustration, of sports is that there is often the narrowest of margins between victory and defeat (the Bruins narrowly beat the Canadiens in overtime in game 7 in the first round and go on to win the Stanley Cup, the Canucks narrowly beat the Hawks in overtime in game 7 in the first round and.....), but when it keeps happening you have to look a little deeper. A rookie quarterback who can’t seem to make the big play at the crucial time, an inexperienced receiving corps that too often forgets that it’s “catch first, run second,” coaching decisions that make you think they’re also rookies, a defence that breaks at just the wrong time, and, always a factor, bad luck (there should’ve obviously been a flag on Geroy Simon’s late third-down gamble play Thursday night). Shoulda, coulda, woulda, it’s all in the mix. Of course it’s the CFL and two wins can put you back in the playoff hunt (thanks Saskatchewan), so all is not lost. However, I’m getting a little tired of coming oh so close only to, well, lose. It’s getting uncomfortably close to the Charlie Brown trying to kick the football scenario, only this time he’s wearing a Lions jersey. Like I said earlier, arrrrrgggghhhhh.
Self-reflection and looking inwards are not always the easiest things to do. They may expose flaws or areas that need improvement but we aren’t willing to accept. That’s why the staff and volunteers at Vernon’s Upper Room Mission deserve strong praise for deciding that its mandate requires a new approach. As of now, the public will still be able to access free meals three times a day from Monday to Friday, but there will be no service on the weekends. It’s a direct attempt to force those individuals to take some responsibility for their own lives. “If they’re hungry, they just come here. It’s way too easy,” said Lisa Froom, general manager. “There’s a dependence and entitlement that’s not healthy.” By relying on the mission, cooking skills are not developed. There is no sense of how to budget to ensure there is sufficient money to purchase food. If you can’t handle a simple task like going to the grocery store or preparing a meal, how will you handle more substantial challenges — whether it is seeking employment, going to school, raising children or coping with substance abuse? We should keep in mind that the mission’s new structure is focused towards people who largely have a place to call home. For those who are actually homeless and accessing the Gateway Shelter, meals will still be available seven days a week. The new structure also indicates that the mission takes the financial support of the community seriously and donations are being used wisely. In the end, the Upper Room Mission is there to help people in need but it’s not there to be part of an endless cycle of dependence.

Community comes together
T
hank you for all who made the effort to come to Vernon Jubilee Hospital's new Polson tower July 1 to have their photo taken. This photo will be sent to our representatives in the B.C. government. Our MLA Eric Foster was clearly encouraged to see the turn out and believes it will help in the process to have the two shelled-in floors completed and made operational. There is more work to be done and I would ask anyone reading this letter who wants to see VJH fulfill its role in the community when it comes to having sufficient acute care beds to contact your MLA. (leg.bc.ca/mla/3-1-1.htm) Would it not have been far better for the B.C. government to have responded to this crucial need before this as I believe due care and financial planning (including a percentage of the funding already advanced from local taxpayers from here to Revelstoke) has been in place for years in the North and Central Okanagan including Columbia-Shuswap. (northokanagan.net/r_econ.htm) END THE HST I can’t wait for this endless nonsense about the HST to end. I already voted yes to extinguish, to eradicate, to snuff out the HST. Is it the right thing to do financially speaking? Probably not, but I don’t care anymore. All of those little stick people, fabricated in some expensive Frankensteinian ad lab, have made me mad as hell. Finally I get to stick it to our arrogant Liberal government. Take that Christy Clark. I am pouring water on your burning desire for redemption. The current provincial government lost its credibility financially speaking when Gordon Campbell incorrectly said the HST would be revenue neutral. Since his overthrow, the Liberals have been stumbling around in panic-mode to cover their butts by promising rebates, rate changes and HST modifications while threatening a higher PST and a $1.6 billion federal payback. Christy, the taxpayers of B.C. deserve better and as premier, you should know that. Lloyd Atkins HST VS GST/PST I feel compelled to respond to the letter by Yukon Eric Holopainen published in The Morning Star July 10. His opinion is his but it is technically incorrect.
On July 1, at the new VJH Polson tower, we asked: 1. Acute care patients treated with the dignity they deserve an end to hallway medicine at this hospital 2. Acute care patients helped in a timely manner without lengthy delays in cancelled surgeries 3. Safety considerations - patients better cared for in a modern, state of the art acute care ward 4. Disease control taken to a whole new level - one patient per room means less infections spread from patient to patient 5. Pride in Vernon Jubilee Hospital - setting a competent standard in a technological age (VJH cares for patients right across the region, not just Vernon) 6. Cost saving now - not higher costs sometime in the future 7. Finally but not least - population growth suggests prudence now, showing wisdom and excellent insight. As a community, we are in this together, may each one of us do our part. Peter Hill
1. He points out that different wage earners pay the same rate of tax. Of course that is correct but it is the same if we go back to the PST/ GST. Do minimum wage earners get a break on GST/PST? Of course not. He talks of 12 per cent HST but ignores the fact that it will reduce to 11 per cent and finally 10 per cent. HST does not come off of wages (in his example) but is paid on purchases and not all purchases have HST – basic groceries, residential rent, prescription drugs, eyeglasses etc. Although all British Columbians will pay the same rate of HST (just like PST/GST) the wealthy will of course pay much more because they spend a lot more. They buy larger more expensive houses, cars, restaurant meals, fancier furniture etc. Paying HST can be a choice that many people can avoid – buy your steak at the grocery store instead of the restaurant and it will be tax free. Buy a used Chevrolet instead of a new Mercedes and you’ll save a whole bunch. 2. His comment on creating jobs is simplistic. The world has just gone through a great financial crises and is still far from full recovery – this includes B.C. A tax change such as this requires time to see results in employment and economic activity. 140 countries covering 75 per cent of the world’s population have switched to a HST (VAT) system
because of its efficiency. Let’s not go back to an old and tired and complicated PST/GST regime. 3. Of course the government will get more taxes – the wealthy will obviously pay more. But we need the revenues for everything we ask government to provide – schools, hospitals, medical care, roads etc. What is wrong with that? Yukon says none of the HST will go to these, but he is incorrect. HST goes to general revenue which is spent on all government services. Remember, it will take two to three years to return to a PST/GST system with the associated costs for government and business. Let’s not forget that we will have to hire about 350 PST tax collectors, auditors, clerks etc. How about their ongoing costs for office space, computers, desks, holiday pay, pensions, sick days, electricity, paper etc.? Is a new provincial bureaucracy what we really need and want to pay for? Not me. Stu Coffey HST BLUES All the keep the HST ads, as well as the pundits' statements keep going on about 10 per cent versus the 12 per cent. Very misleading. The best case wording has been, "vote to keep the HST and the rate will be lowered." The worst case wording has it as, "Vote yes and the
rate will be increased." As I've said, very misleading. The current dates direct from the HST information site (as directed from the TV ads) are 2012 the provincial rate will be reduced by one per cent to six, and July 1, 2014 a further one per cent to five. That means we won't see any decreases for about a year, and the full decrease to 10 per cent in two years. Mike Topf NO FREE LUNCH I totally agree with Brad Thorlakson's letter that the right thing to do with the HST is to vote no to retain the tax. Abolishing the tax will simply reduce business confidence and drive investment - and therefore jobs - to other provinces. The movement to abolish the tax is guilty of not thinking through the consequences of its recommendations. The pages of this paper are filled with calls for more government services - be it emergency beds in the hospital, better public transit and roads, more high school teachers, more wardens in our provincial parks or better traffic policing to reduce speeding and accidents. If we cancel the tax, business investment may be slowed and the province will have to pay back a huge credit to the federal government.

Government services are paid for by taxes. It's that simple. Pay less taxes, see our services get cut.

Dropped 911 calls frustrate police Morning Star Staff
Residents are being urged not to just hang up on 911. Lumby RCMP officers have recently responded to two abandoned 911 telephone calls. “In these cases, our dispatch centre receives a call and the caller then hangs up or ends the call without saying anything,” said Cpl. Henry Proce. “Our policy dictates that we locate and attend all such calls for obvious reasons. In many cases, it’s folks, and often children, pushing the emergency button on their phones, experimenting to see what happens or simply carelessness when dialing.” In both of these recent cases, the calls were false alarms. “People should realize that police drop whatever they are doing and respond with lights and sirens, putting ourselves at risk when responding to any 911 call,” said Proce. “It’s very frustrating to attend such calls only to find out it’s a youngster playing with the phone. The 911 system is extremely effective, but remember to use it only for serious crimes in progress or life-threatening situations.”
YOU AND THE LAW MEDICAL EXAMS AND REPORTS IN ICBC CASES By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. If you’re injured in a car accident, expert medical testimony is often crucial in helping the court decide on compensation for damages. To prove your case, you usually want to call your doctor as a witness in support of your claim to address the nature and extent of your injuries. In fact, not doing so may allow the court to assume that the doctor would say something negative. The defendant in the lawsuit generally has the right to request that you attend an “independent” medical exam by a doctor or specialist chosen by them. This is in line with our adversarial system, which assumes that a more balanced picture will emerge when each side puts their own best case forward and also has the chance through crossexamination to test weaknesses in the other side’s position.
available if you’re injured in an accident in BC, even if you were responsible for the crash. You can receive up to $150,000 for medical and rehabilitation expenses, up to 75% of your lost gross wages to a maximum of $300 a week, and up to $145 a week in homemaker benefits if you can no longer perform most household tasks. The second way ICBC can get an independent medical exam is when you sue for damages, in which case the court can, at ICBC’s request, order an exam to “level the playing field” and counter balance the testimony of your expert medical evidence. Interestingly, both sides’ medical experts must now explicitly certify that their duty is to assist the court and not to be an advocate for either you or ICBC.

Vernon is all revved up for a few hundred of the hottest autos to roll into town. The 12th annual Watkin Motors Sun Valley Cruise-In will draw an estimated 300 hot rods, classics, muscle cars and more Aug. 6 and 7. “They come from across B.C. and as far as Saskatchewan,” said Rob Wasiliew, Cruise-In committee member. The events kick off with a poker run for registered participants Saturday at 10 a.m. at Watkin Motors. “It’s a good tour, you get to see all of Vernon,” said Wasiliew, of the five-stop run that takes drivers between Lake Country and Armstrong. After a barbecue back at the Ford dealership, 30th Avenue will be shut down to make room for cars to cruise-in to downtown Saturday from 4 to 10 p.m. “People can walk down main street, check out the music, check out the shops and obviously check out the cars,” said Wasiliew of the free event. The classic rides will then pack Polson Park next Sunday, Aug. 7, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the public to admire. “The response is always great and we always look forward to next year,” said Wasiliew.

Police issue warning over alarm sales Morning Star Staff
Over the past few weeks, North Okanagan RCMP have received several complaints about an allegedly aggressive sales pitch for security alarms. “If you do not want the service or product, you can ask them to leave your property. You do not have to put up with aggressive marketing,” said Gord Molendyk, detachment spokesperson.
The police are advising residents to do their own checks for products. “Ask a neighbour or a friend and check with the Better Business Bureau to see if the company has a good record on customer satisfaction,” said Molendyk. The security company in question has had a City of Vernon business license for three years.

Rocks tie up series Game 3 Wednesday at Hassen Morning Star Staff
They’re going back to the future Wednesday night (7:30) to settle the Shaw Cup best-of-three semifinal series. Heated rivals Vernon Tigers and Armstrong Shamrocks will meet at golden oldie Hassen Arena which will be overflowing for the Okanagan X-treme Lacrosse League contest. The two 6-6 teams, who are not Facebook friends, are going the limit after Armstrong grounded the Tigers 12-5 Thursday night at Wesbild Centre. “We expect to have a large turnout on Wednesday, and with the game being in the Hassen, we expect it to fill up quick,” said Shamrocks’ goalie Chad Pieper, who was awesome in Game 2. “We have the best fans around, and we know they will be loud and proud.” Pieper was not only a wall in net, but he was credited with a goal and two helpers. Shamrock veteran Stu Williamson was assessed a match penalty for a crosscheck to Kaz Boudreau’s face with seven minutes left to play. The Tigers went with the extra attacker, but the strategy backfired when Bryan Cope’s hard shot missed the net and then took a couple bounces off the boards, only to have the ball roll all the way down the floor into his own net. Pieper got the goal since he was the last Armstrong player to touch the ball. “I have played a lot of years and once in a while you get a bounce that will go your way,” laughed Pieper. “I hope my team doesn’t start to rely on me too much for goal scoring or else we might be in a little trouble.” Vernon veteran Steve Latimer, sidelined with a toe injury, said Pieper was in stellar form. “Pieper had a great game. We outshot them (5954) and he played like he can when he’s on. We have to get him moving to beat him.” The Tigers expect to have rugged Ryan Minchenko and offensive threats Darin Holte and Andrew Hamilton back for Game 3. “Armstrong plays an intimidation game and it works,” said Latimer. “It worked against us, so on Wednesday, we have to play our game and bring our skill and move the ball around.” The game was close for two periods before the Rocks ran away with it in the third. The Tigers opened the scoring when Tanner Skolrood picked up a rebound off the end boards and beat Pieper.

Medhurst collects five snipes for Armstrong Continued from A17 The Irish equalized a few minutes later when Steve Clark ripped a shot past Tigers’ netminder Glen Clissold. Brett Logan made it 2-1 Armstrong, but on the next draw, Vernon got possession and Kirk Krause took a pass from behind the net and walked right in for the 2-2 goal. The Rocks managed to take the lead into the dressing room when Jarrett Medhurst
buried his first of five on the night. The Tigers tied things early in the second when Chicago NLL draft Shane Sargent walked in all alone on a powerplay breakaway. He then deposited a rebound off the crossbar to put Vernon up 4-3. The rest of the period was all Shamrocks, with Logan Strohm, Medhurst and Williamson finding the net. The third period saw more of the same from the Shamrocks with Medhurst add-
ing three more and Strohm and Milan Marcetta also converting. “Our offence went out tonight and played a great game,” said Pieper. “Medhurst had a breakout game with his five tonight. Jarrett has struggled a bit this year (5-2-7 in five games) but we all know how dangerous he can be when he gets on a roll.” The Shamrocks took 30 penalty minutes and gave up four powerplay tallies.

Vernon Red Bulls’ Aidan Godfrey talks soccer with Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini in Vancouver.
Man City magic for Aidan
T
here he sat on the Manchester City bench, chatting with manager Roberto Mancini like they were old school chums. It was a soccer fantasy for 12-year-old Aidan Godfrey, a striker with the Vernon Red Bulls of the North Okanagan Youth Soccer Association. Godfrey got up close and personal as a player escort with the 2011 FA Cup champion Blues when they clipped the Major Soccer League Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1 in an international friendly before 24,074 fans at Empire Field July 18. “It was a life highlight,” said Godfrey, a keen student of the game. “There were some Vernon kids I know in the stands yelling at me on the bench.” Aidan owes his father, Kevin, who works for Investors Group, a grocery list of chores for the five-star experience. “My dad organized it. He played in the West Ham youth program and he knows people in England. I got to shake hands with the players in the hallway after they did their training. That was pretty sick.” Aidan, who was given a Man City kit (jersey, shorts and socks), even filled in Mancini on the expansion Whitecaps. “He didn’t know they had only won two games and were at the bottom of the league. He’s the manager, and he didn’t know, which was pretty funny. We were talking while the players were training (pre-game warmup).” Shaun Wright-Phillips gave boss Roberto Mancini a reminder of what an asset he can be with a sublime 25-yard winning goal against the Whitecaps. The Blues had to come from behind to beat the dogged Canadians, who led through Camilo Sanvezzo’s 30th-minute deflected effort. John Guidetti equalized at 68 minutes before WrightPhillips settled the game five minutes from time. “Most people thought the Whitecaps were going to win, but I thought City would come back and win,” said Aidan, a Kidston student headed to Kalamalka Secondary this fall. Aidan, whose father has coached him in soccer the last five years, also enjoys golf, tennis, swimming and snowboarding. His brush with greatness definitely made his summer. “I saw the Whitecaps play FC Dallas, but this was
20 times better.” Manchester City’s Joe Hart made a game-winning penalty kick as they continued their tour to beat the LA Galaxy 7-6 in a penalty-kick shootout after a 1-1 draw before 24,897 at The Home Depot Center. These North American tours by Man City and Manchester United as they prepare for the Barclay’s Premier League season to start up in two weeks, have nicely promoted soccer and shown fans the extraordinary talent of these English sides. Man City rested several of their superstars against Vancouver, while Manchester United racked up 18 goals in a sweep of MSL teams, including a 4-0 victory over the All-Stars and a 7-0 ambushing of the Seattle Sounders. We’ll never totally catch up to the Premier level, but as long as Canada continues to pump up its Li’l Kickers and elite Rep programs to develop our own stars, we’re making progress. The MSL is entertaining to watch and Canadian networks are giving the league great air time. It’s marketed well and the talent is very good. Now, if someone can please tell David Beckham of the Galaxy to lose that stupid headband, the soccer world will be a better place. Posh Spice (Victoria Beckham) surely doesn’t approve).
Americans show lack of class I was stunned (more than usual) to hear from Vernon U18 coach Ron Krause that the Team USA players refused to have photos taken with his girls team at the Frankfurt Airport. The Americans were obviously still upset at losing to Japan, in a shootout, in the FIFA Women’s World Cup final, but really? Turn down a photo op with young ladies who would love to be in their position? The purse for the Women’s World Cup was US$6 million, while the men divvied up US$420 million at last summer’s World Cup in South Africa. So, Team USA should have checked their egos AND suitcases at the gate before shunning the Vernon Euro team. The female game is making good strides, but the sport can hardly afford to have their so-called heroes disappoint young fans. You gotta believe the Team Canada women, no matter where they finished, would have acted in a much classier fashion.
Vernon’s Chris Baryla was on the leaderboard going into Saturday’s third round of the $1.1 million Greenbrier Classic in White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. The 28-year-old PGA Tour player salvaged a 69 Friday despite taking a triple-bogey seven on the sixth hole. He had 36 on the front nine on the Old White TPC course. He finished with six birdies. Baryla opened with a 67 Thursday, shooting 33 on the front with five birdies. The course was being generous early Saturday as not only did Jimmy Walker threaten the magic 59 before settling for a career-low 62, four other rounds of 65 or better were
posted before the leaders teed off at 1:50 p.m. Chris DiMarco of the U.S. got one of those
with a bogey-free 64 that moved him back into red numbers at 5 under.

National gold for Downtown
Vernon Kal Tire snapped a nine-game winless skid with a 3-2 victory over Kelowna #1 in Okanagan Oldtimers 50+ Soccer League action Thursday night at Marshall Field #3. Midfielder Jim Sparrow, who ran miles for 80 minutes to earn the Wilms Electric Man of the Match, scored the winner on a wind-aided 30-yard corker from the right corner flag area. Sparrow threw the ball into Kevin Mitchell, who one-touched it back to Sparrow, who cracked the ball high, right corner past a startled keeper, with 14 minutes left. Joe Jamieson picked off a clearance pass and beat Gord Campbell with a 20-yard rocket, giving Kelowna an early 1-0 lead. Midfielder Denis Chabot took a feed from Ted Sheehan and deked the keeper before tapping in a low shot to pull the 6-8-2 Tiremen even 15 minutes later. Mark DeVolder, using a strong wind, floated a long shot over the Kelowna keeper after taking a feed from Jenne Huberts, to make it 2-1 Kal Tire at the break. John Pratch then parachuted a high shot into the wind and off the far post, to equalize. In other play, the Vernon Stars got two goals from Dave Gould in a 5-1 win over host Lake Country at Rieswig Park. Dick Markin made a stellar run and then slotted the ball home for the first Vernon goal. Keeperturned winger Ray Tims put the Stars up 2-1 when he stabbed a solid, low cross into the net. Gould scored his first after a long deep corner was headed back into the 18 where Gould nodded it in. Mike Siemens sent in a cross which cleared the defence and the tall Lake Country keeper for Bob Oldfield to score with a beautiful diving header. Gould scored his second with a 25-yard drive into the roof of the net. The Stars are 10-4-2.

Downtown, a 16-year-old Seaton student, then went on to the pressure-packed final to stop Quebec’s Philippe Giguere 21-18, 21-13 to win the gold medal. It was one of two gold medals B.C. won at the games.

News Viva Las Vegas for local airport
ROAD CLOSURE
Morning Star Staff
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Construction continues on Allenby Way in Vernon, Wednesday, with the upper part of the road closed to motorists.
There will be more passenger opportunities between the Okanagan and Las Vegas as WestJet service begins Sept. 10 and runs until the end of April. “This is great news for the ThompsonOkanagan,” said Sam Samaddar, with Kelowna International Airport. “We have seen this service increase from four months to six months last year and now we have eight months of service.” WestJet service between Kelowna and Las Vegas will operate Tuesdays and Saturdays with a day time departure time. Scheduled service also allows for inbound traffic from the Las Vegas/Nevada market. “This will open up our wine festivals, skiing and still catch some of the golf season for the Nevada traveller looking to experience the Okanagan,” said Samaddar. “This also allows for more options for passengers. For those who want to vacation in Las Vegas it means travelling at a more reasonable time of day, plus making it easier for those who need to catch a connection from Las Vegas to another destination.” Las Vegas is the 22nd largest airport in the world; eighth largest in North America with 39.4 million passengers. It’s the main hub airport of Southwest Airlines which offers more than 230 departures a day to 72 cities.

Review your water habits CORRINE JACKSON Special to The Morning Star
It may seem odd to be talking water conservation in such a wet year, but it’s really the best time to start thinking about our water use. While the Okanagan’s 2011 spring and summer are cool and wet, 2010 was a different story where parts of the valley narrowly missed a serious drought. Why wait for a crisis to plan ahead? The Okanagan is a water-short region, with less water available per person than almost anywhere in Canada. As the population of this valley continues to grow, it could affect our water supply. At the same time, recent studies conducted for the Okanagan Basin Water Board have shown that climate change may also impact our supply. It makes sense then to take this time to think wisely about our water use and find ways to make water work in the most efficient and effective way possible. The Okanagan’s lakes, vineyards, orchards, and golf courses – iconic images for this valley – are examples of “working water,” providing an economic benefit to the valley. The agricultural industry has made great strides to be more water-efficient, and this work is continuing. Even a number of local golf courses, enjoyed by locals and tourists alike, are looking to save water, changing their landscape to native plants and/or using treated wastewater for spray irrigation. However, there is significant room to make water work better in our personal landscapes – in particular, on our lawns. In all, 24 per cent of all water we take out of Okanagan lakes and rivers is used by residents outside. This is the second largest human use of water, most of it being used in the summer on our lawns and gardens. While one can make
CORINNE JACKSON PHOTO
Deb Sippel, of Lake Country, uses a watering can on the plants that need it. the case that water on the garden is used to grow food – and thus is working water, lawns are mostly cosmetic features. It’s interesting to note that our water systems were built decades ago for agriculture – not residential use. And as residential demand on these systems has grown so has the need for costly water treatment to meet drinking water regulations. As a result, we’re using some of the best, most highly-purified drinking water in the world to irrigate our lawns. Some have asked why we don’t just build larger reservoirs. But building infrastructure is costly. The fact is, there is room for simple changes in the way we use water that, if implemented, could create significant water savings – and tax savings. If you water your lawn, here are some easy tips to make water work: ■ Water during the coolest part of the day to prevent evaporation. A good rule of thumb is 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. ■ Water only when it’s needed. Most lawns only need 2.5 centimetres (one inch) of water
per week – about the depth of a tuna can. Watering deeply and less
often promotes deep, healthy root growth. If this isn’t working, then the issue is unlikely how much water the lawn is getting. You may need to top dress or aerate. ■ Leave grass clippings as mulch on your lawn. They help feed the lawn and retain moisture, requiring less water and reducing evaporation. ■ Position your sprinkler to only water your lawn or garden, not pavement. ■ Leave your grass five to eight centimetres tall. This slows water evaporation from the soil. ■ Landscape with native and low-water variety plants. For more on Okanagan WaterWise, visit www.okwaterwise. ca.

ROTARY CLUBS OF VERNON INVITED TO TOUR WOMEN’S AND CHILDREN’S HEALTH SERVICES FLOOR On July 21st, 2011, the three Rotary Clubs – Vernon, Kalamalka and Silver Star (a fourth club, Tri-Lakes amalgamated with the other three) – were invited to
Rotary Presidents, Peter O’Callaghan, Rina Wheeldon and Dominik Dlouhy with Donor Plaque in new tower.
attend the Dedication of the 4th Floor/ Women’s and Children’s Health Services ward. A tour of the impressive new facility followed dedication ceremonies which unveiled the Donor Plaque. Each of the three Rotary Clubs had the opportunity to send a contingent of ten delegates to attend at the new Tower of Care Dedication. Rotary has made
significant contributions to this particular unit over the last three years. After the welcome speeches and the recognition at the Donor Plaque, volunteer members from The Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation led the Rotarians through the 4th floor facility. The new equipment and spacious rooms will improve productivity and throughput to meet service levels to patients not available in the older cramped wing. Of interest was the security level that has been planned and implemented to restrict access to the ward only to authorized persons. Another security feature in the new Tower is the dispensing and recording of medicines by computers. All in all it is an impressive new facility in Vernon that incorporates the experience and lessons learned from other prior Interior Health projects. These lessons in Vernon will in turn be passed on to Kelowna where construction is underway but will be completed later. Medical and support staff have already received training in the new Polson Tower and can learn online of their new tasks or procedures before the move takes place to the new Tower. All involved are obviously eagerly looking forward to serving patients in the new facility.
WORK PARTY AT O’KEEFE RANCH COMPLETES PLAYGROUND AND CONTINUES BARN CONSTRUCTION The O’Keefe Ranch continues to benefit from the Rotary Club of Vernon’s generosity and labour. Many Club members have donated their time and attended a series of work parties for weekends, beginning April 9th and concluding on Rotary at Work Day on April 30th. Russell Shortt is the Work Day Coordinator and work continues by the Rotary Club of Vernon members. The Club has previously worked on closing the barn and in 2011 has developed the children’s playground through labour and monies. The playground equipment that was purchased by the Club last year has been fully assembled, as well as a new 2011 play barn. The O’Keefe Power Tractor Club donated an old tractor which has been partially buried as a play-on. This summer, the Club had intended to provide a sandbox and benches. The sand box is no longer planned, as it was deemed impossible to keep the farm cats out of the sand box. One additional or replacement project is a second play barn. The Ranch was given a small barn that was at an inside location and it is the Rotary Club of Vernon’s plan to make it weatherproof and place it in the play ground area.

Boat has been beached
T
his is the story of a Boat That Used to Float and is now beached, maybe permanently. Many people in Vernon know the non-profit Heaven Can Wait program run by the Quality of Life Society that has operated daily boating excursions for many community groups for the last 20 years. Captained by trained volunteers, this lovely, roomy boat which serves up to 12 passengers at a time offers many Vernon citizens the opportunity to experience an afternoon on Lake Okanagan which for most is the only time Pat Black they will have this opportunity. People with physical and mental health disabilities as well as many seniors’ clubs and organizations have all used this service as a special summer treat and look forward each year to their boating adventure. The list of community groups is long and diverse and the efforts of all the Heaven Can Wait volunteers is very much appreciated. Nothing about this project has changed this year. The boat which has operated for the last 20 years is in good shape and has passed all the usual yearly
PERSONAL BEST
tests. Indeed new life jackets were recently purchased and the volunteer captains were ready and eager to go. Plans were made and bookings completed for the whole summer schedule. That is until Transport Canada decided that this program which has not changed in 20 years, does not comply with existing federal regulations, and as of now, this program is beached. The list of requirements to meet these regulations is many and expensive including retraining and certification of all captains, who are community volunteers and may not be able to afford the retraining time and the money. It is always a shame to see another worthwhile community volunteer program bite the dust, especially those services that add to the quality of life for so many. It reduces joy for both the people who enjoy the service and those wonderful senior volunteers who provide it and take such pride and delight in helping others. Our community is diminished once again by this loss but Transport Canada must feel proud at removing another renegade ship which they have blown out of the dangerous waters of the Okanagan. Now for some food news adapted from the Berkeley Wellness Newsletter: Your risk of dying from heart disease can be decreased by 36 per cent by eat-
ing one or two servings of fish per week and that is indeed a big decrease! However, the type of fish and cooking method can affect heart risk. According to a study published recently in the American Heart Association, women who ate five or more servings of fish per week lowered their risk of suffering heart failure over the next 10 years compared to their peers who rarely ate fish. Oily fish (salmon, mackerel, bluefish) were associated with greater protection against heart disease than tuna or white fish (sole, snapper, cod), which are lower in Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA). However, eating fried fish — even one serving a week — increased heart failure risk. The researchers speculate that the benefits derived from fish are destroyed when it is fried and the trans fat content is increased. And prunes are back in style as according to a recent study based at the University of Iowa, the age-old remedy for constipation is the best — eating prunes. In the study, people benefited by eating 1.5 ounces prunes twice a day for three weeks, more than those who took one teaspoon of Psyllium, a natural fibre supplement, twice a day. Those oldfashioned remedies are becoming new healthy solutions.

News Wine, Women golf tourney targets $85,000 Morning Star Staff
Support is growing in the fight against breast cancer. Home Building Centre Vernon is building support for a future without breast cancer by joining forces with Wine, Women and Woods. “Come in soon and put your $5 down for a ticket on an amazing $3,000 gift card which can be used toward any purchase in the store,” said Cathie Cookson, with the Wine-Women and Woods organizing committee. “The draw is Sept. 10 at the Tee Off for the Cure. As well, HBC has contributed a $1,200 flooring package for our auction so think about your renovations and come to bid at Jazz It Up for the Cure.” Although September seems a long way off, the Wine, Women and Woods Tee Off for the Cure is gaining momentum again this year. Jazz It Up for the Cure features the Neil Fraser Ensemble at the Vernon Golf and Country Club Sept. 9 beginning at 6 p.m. “Even if you are not a golfer, there is no reason to miss out on good music, nice wine and appetizers, as well as the silent and live auctions,” said Cookson. “Many local companies sponsor the tournament and provide amazing auction items to bid on.” Tickets for the evening are $25 and are available through the Vernon Golf and Country Club or at Brenda Hala Photography Studio. The gold tournament itself is held Sept. 10 with a shot-gun start at 1 p.m. “There is still room for a few more teams, so get your friends together and come have some fun,” said Cookson. This year, the tournament is focused on
the purchase of an EnCor breast biopsy system which complements the Biovision machine bought last year through the tournament as well as the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. “This year we want to raise $85,000,” said Cookson. “With generous support of our sponsors, the golfers and community members, we know we can reach this goal. Join us in support the goal of a future without breast cancer.” For more information on how to register, become a sponsor or donate, go to www. winewomenandwoods. com.

-AKING MEMORIES AT SUMMER CAMP
CARA BRADY
Morning Star Staff
It’s a typical busy morning at Camp Arrowflight. Kids are getting their sunscreen and hats on, water bottles ready to head out for the day’s activities while counselors check on last minute details. Two groups are going out for a day canoeing at Gardom Lake while the other three groups are staying in camp for rock climbing, gardening, archery and creating a city using only natural materials. Other days, they might do mountain boarding, geo-caching, hiking, painting or the environmental program. And it wouldn’t be camp without the talent show and campfires. The resident dogs, Maisie and Scout, at the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club camp, who keep the bears away, follow along with the morning programs. “I like everything we do here, especially the art and the mountain boarding,� said Lachlan Klammer, eight, from Penticton. Mountain boarding is also popular with the girls. “My favourite activity is the mountain boarding

and I like the painting, too. And the gardening, I think I will plant some strawberries and mint and some berry vines at home,� said Kharley Stetchman, eight, from Westbank, as she finished helping plant some strawberries. The gardening is part of the Environmental Awareness Program — Be Green, sponsored by the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada, Future Shop and SIFE Memorial, which also teaches about water conservation and composting. “I love being here with all my friends and all the sports, the skateboarding and the archery,� said Devyn Browne, 12, of Kelowna, just back from the rock climbing wall. Okanagan Boys and Girls Club also operates spring and winter camps at the 82-acre site in Spallumcheen. There are still some spaces in the one-week camps for ages seven to 12 and 13 to 16 (counselors in training) running through August. Campers do not have to be members of the Boys and Girls Club to take part. For more information, call the registrar at 250-762-3989 (ext. 112).

Ready to Tee Off for the Cure Morning Star Staff
The Wine, Women and Woods Organizing Team invites you to get involved in the Tee Off for The Cure. There are many ways to get involved: become a sponsor or register your team. There is still space for more sponsors and more teams. The tournament begins with the Jazz It Up for Wine, Women and Woods the evening of Sept. 9, with the tournament played Sept. 10 at the Vernon Golf and Country Club. Registration of players and information for sponsors can be found on the website
at www.winewomenandwoods.com Each year the tournament sets goals, and this year’s fundraising goal is $85,000. “The money goes towards the purchase of an EnCor Breast Biopsy System for Vernon Jubilee Hospital,” said Cathie Cookson, chair of the tournament’s organizing committee. “This system reduces the number of invasive entries into breast tissue for adequate sampling in diagnosis for breast cancer. It complements the BioVision machine purchased with the Wine, Women and Woods funds from the 2010 tournament.

Don’t be fooled by summer sun
Y
ou’ve probably already heard about the many health benefits of Vitamin D, nature’s sunshine vitamin. Important for more than just strong bones, it helps prevent cancer, diabetes, heart disease and memory loss. Vitamin D also fights infections and is beneficial for myriad conditions including mental illness, back pain, high blood pressure, arthritis and Parkinson’s. Your body makes this critical nutrient from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. When summer arrives, most people are under the impression that they can get all the Vitamin D they need through sunshine. It’s a logical conclusion, but unfortunately, it is rarely accomplished, as there are many factors that hinder your ability to synthesize Vitamin D. Too Far North Research shows that people who live at northern latitudes above 30 degrees (the Okanagan is at 50) are deficient in Vitamin D.

tion. The darker your skin, the harder it is to make Vitamin D. Fairskinned people can get their daily quota in about 15 minutes, compared to darker skinned individuals who may need up to two hours to reach the same level. Your age, health status and drug use also affect whether you will be able to convert UV radiation into Vitamin D. An older person with no gallbladder on several medications is compromised in their ability to manufacture Vitamin D from the sun. Even the time between sunning yourself and taking a shower can influence how much Vitamin D your body keeps. Bottom Line Our bodies are designed to have regular sun, and UV rays are the ideal source to get Vitamin D naturally. Living in a northern country, sunscreens, indoor living and other issues prevent you from obtaining optimal levels during the summer. The simple solution is to supplement Vitamin
D. It plays an essential role in your health and is cost-effective. It is the number one vitamin you should be taking all year round. Don’t be fooled by the sunshine; you need to take Vitamin D during the summer too. Dr. Denise De Monte is a naturopathic physician at the De Monte Centre Natural Medicine in Vernon.

NA was founded in 1953. Since the publication of the Basic Text in 1983, the number of members and meetings has increased dramatically.

NA makes no distinction between drugs, including alcohol.
Membership is free and there is no affiliation with any organizations outside of NA, including governments, religions, law enforcement
groups, or medical or psychiatric associations. NA strives to reach a day when every addict in the world has an opportunity to experience its

New exhibition for Vernon artist JESSICA SCHWITEK Morning Star Staff
A combination of a passion for painting and a love of Pinto horses inspired the double entendre for the Running Paints exhibition at the Armstrong and Spallumcheen Museum and Art Gallery. For the first time, Vernon artist Wendy Hart Penner will have her art displayed in a gallery. “Last November I was approached by the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum and Art Gallery and asked to have a solo exhibition this summer,” said Penner. “I will have 17 paintings on display in this exhibition, 15 of which have never been shown as this will be my first time in an art gallery.” Penner has had a long career in the arts community, first as a graphic designer in
Vancouver working at The Province and The illustration from the Sheridan College of Applied Arts and Technology.

She honed her skills while painting for her blog. “I found the practice of painting daily excellent for painting skills and yet not overwhelming in terms of time and commitment as each piece could be completed in one to three hours. “I continue to post my work on a regular but not daily basis,” said Penner. “I am also very pleased to announce that I will be joined in the gallery’s Freeze Room by the talented artist/blacksmith Doug Alcock and his exquisite sculptures.” In the main gallery will be works by artists Sondra Haglund and Amy Jo Salter. Penner’s collection will be on display at the Armstrong and Spallumcheen Art Gallery on Pleasant Valley Road from Thursday to Aug. 27. The opening reception is on Friday from 7 to 9 p.m.
Rhythm and blues coming to Lorenzo’s Morning Star Staff
The blues boys from Vancouver are coming through for two shows this weekend at Lorenzo’s pub in Enderby. For more than 30 years (and counting) the Mud Bay Blues Band has been electrifying audiences with their eclectic brand of rhythm and blues. Surviving more than their share of trials and tribulations along the way, they have earned a well-deserved reputation as “the band that won’t go away,” much to the delight of their devoted fans. Founded in the “badlands” of south Surrey, way back in 1978 by lead singer/blues harp master Mud Bay Slim
(a.k.a. Harold Arnold), the band’s rough-edged, highvoltage approach to R&B immediately distinguished them from their mellower counterparts in the Vancouver scene. Throughout the years they have honed a distinctive sound and style, writing and playing the blues their way: unconventionally, uncompromisingly, and unapologetically. Their 2007 CD release, Death, Taxes and the Mud Bay Blues Band, (three things that won‘t go away), displayed the diversity of influences informing their unique sound: classic Chicago blues, country, zydeco, barrelhouse, boogie, rock. Widely disparate elements somehow find common
ground inside their original compositions, all interpreted, incorporated and played the “mud bay” way. And their latest release, Mudified, continues that trend, showcasing the band in peak form, the songwriting attaining new heights of creativity, and the arrangements and performances razor sharp. With more than three decades of dues now paid, they have earned respect and praise from such blues legends as James Cotton (“Just like playing with family... ”) and the late great Stevie Ray Vaughn (“Mud Bay…? More fun!”)

And darned if the final guy to report to the team ain’t wearing the “C.” See, despite being subtitled The First Avenger, Marvel’s Captain America is actually the last big screen solo dance before next summer’s main event, The Avengers, which will bring together heroes like Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor and the star-spangled shield carrier himself. Given the blueprint, you’d think films like this, serving as a set-up for something bigger, would seem like a formality...just an exercise

The bulk of the movie is a flashback to his origin and how he wound up as a popsicle. Captain America: The First Avenger works because it’s very simple, almost a throwback to simpler times. Good versus evil. Kind hearts

Everyone can connect with this game plan, and it doesn’t hurt that Captain America is a doozie in the adrenaline department. Suddenly, it feels like summer. The feature is currently playing at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.
Capsule Comments with
SUSAN CARRIE No sunscreen provides 100% protection from the damaging rays of the sun. However, using a sunscreen with an SPF rating of 15 will provide 93% protection if applied properly. This means applying after intense sweating or after swimming. Unprotected sun exposure can cause premature skin aging and raise the risk of skin cancer. Don’t forget lip and eye protection as well. While we are on the subject of summer activities, it is a good time to remind everyone to be mindful of not charring meat on the barbecue. Ways to avoid this is to precook the meat a bit in the microwave first, using smaller pieces of meat to start with and marinating the meat before grilling. These suggestions will lessen the time on the grill and minimize the chance of charring the meat. More people are becoming “flexitarians”. This term is used to describe people who eat primarily plant foods but occasionally eat meat. The term “semi-vegetarian” is also used. Many have reduced their red meat consumption to twice weekly. In 2010, almost 57% of all prescriptions in Canada were filled with generic drugs. This is an increase of 9.9% over 2009 figures. The use of brand name drugs fell by 1.9% during the same period. Generic drugs are very reliable in Canada. If there is a generic equivalent for the drug your doctor prescribed, we’ll find it for you.

t may seem like our weather has not been keeping up with the season, but your library is not standing still. There have been some exciting new developments recently that I’d like to share: New Vernon Branch library blog You can now follow the construction of the Vernon Branch on a new blog. Over the next several months, I will be providing regular progress reports on this exciting project as it is completed. Photos are the best way to track changes as they occur, and I will include as many as I can, along with descriptions of what you are seeing. Feedback is welcome. You can find the link to the blog at the top of the Vernon Branch page of the ORL website www.orl.bc.ca Disney Digital Books Disney Digital Books are now available through the Library To Go service on an “always available” basis. This means there will be no wait lists for ORL customers who wish to download any of the 500 titles. Most of these eBooks are aimed at a preschool to primarygrade audience, with some geared towards older readers. These colourful, interactive
eBooks can be downloaded and played on a Windows or Mac computer, but not on eBook readers or iPads. You can search and download the titles by visiting Library To Go and searching on “Disney.” Remember you will have to log in with your ORL account number and password, and use Overdrive to download the appropriate Maureen Curry software for your system. ORL YouTube Channel The ORL has just launched a channel on the social site YouTube with videos of story times and 75th anniversary celebrations. You can see ORL videos at www.youtube.
OFF THE SHELF
com/OKRegLibrary and subscribe to the channel to be informed of new additions to the channel. The channel has started with several videos created by Monica and Judy here at the Vernon Branch sharing their favourite songs and stories (these videos can also be found on the Vernon Branch page of the ORL website). Additionally, the channel has the special commemorative video created to celebrate the ORL’s 75th anniversary, plus individual vignettes from customers sharing their experiences at the library. The ORL will continue to add videos over time to share content from special events, story times and other information. Digital microfilm reader/printer This new equipment allows anyone doing
family history research to more easily view microfilm and provides more options for saving images. A document can be printed using a high resolution printer (with options for paper size), scanned for an email or saved to a flash drive. Many thanks to the Vernon Friends of the Library, who provided the majority of funding for this unit.

Similar to the classic drive-in experience, just without the cars or the concrete, the community is invited to bring their lawn chairs and blankets and enjoy a movie under the stars this summer. The Interior Savings’ Moonlight Movie Tour will touch down in 14 interior B.C. communities, including Vernon and Lake Country, with a giant inflatable movie screen featuring a family friendly film. There is no charge to attend the event, but a donation of $3 per person is encouraged with all proceeds benefiting Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs in each community. “The Interior Savings Moonlight Movie Night is a unique event for our community that will help us raise
funds to enable our clubs to continue offering affordable recreation, care, and support services to children, youth and families across the Okanagan,” said Craig Monley, with the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs. Interior Savings provides the movie, the screen and the sound system, and the Boys and Girls organization will have activities for children and their families. Animated film Rio will be shown in Vernon’s Polson Park Aug. 14, and at Lake Country’s Beasley Park on Woodsdale Road Aug. 15. A concession and kids games start at 7 p.m. and the show starts at dusk. Bring your own lawn chairs and blankets. For more information, visit www. boysandgirslclubs.ca or www.interiorsavings.com.

Map promotes Vernon area landmarks KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
The B.C. Interior sure has changed since cartographer David Thompson mapped out most of the area during the fur trading days. For one thing, outposts have grown into towns and cities, rivers now run alongside roads, and once barren land has transformed into ranches, orchards and subdivisions. The drive into Vernon is about to become even more picturesque –– and modernized –– with the installation of two giant pictorial maps, designed by Montreal artist Jean Louis Rheault. Recently in Vernon to get a lay of the land, Rheault is not a cartographer. Instead, he designs threedimensional, not-to-scale maps that show and enhance buildings, landmarks and landscapes of the area –– all in one encapsulated view. “It’s like taking hundreds of small vignettes and sewing them together for a view of the area,” he explains. The map of Vernon will show many local landmarks such as Polson Park, Watson House, and O’Keefe Ranch, and feature areas such as Silver Star Mountain, the Commonage and Okanagan and Kalamalka lakes. Businesses are also welcome to participate in the map by sponsoring a space. Vernon isn’t exactly uncharted territory for Rheault, who is a world-renowned pictorial mapper and one of the few artists who does this kind of work. Commissioned by Mountain Media, which has the rights to the informational signs along many B.C. highways, Rheault has already made a number of maps of the area. The drive into Kamloops, along the Yellowhead Highway, now features one of Rheault’s maps on a six-metre sign, and in 2004,

Jean Louis Rheault shows an early version of the pictorial map he is designing of Vernon. he designed one of the whole Okanagan Valley showing most of its pertinent landmarks. “It was the only time the whole valley had been shown in one picture,” he said. “It took six months to do. I used a scale map and aerial photos.

That way I was able to represent the area the way people see it with the landmarks.” Pictorial mapping has been an art form since the Middle Ages, and reached its peak in the 19th century when the railroads were developed.
“The pictures were used to attract immigrant trades people and the areas were made to look like a great place to live and work,” said Rheault, who started mapping in the 1980s after studying to be a translator. “I hated looking things up all

of the time in the dictionary,” he laughed. “I met someone who was selling maps in Albany (N.Y.), and thought they were cheesy. I told him I could finish the commission if I could draw the maps myself.” Rheault locked himself up in a cabin in Quebec’s Eastern Township and, equipped with a drawing table and wood stove, drew out the map by hand. “It was pretty terrible,” he said. However, he soon developed his technique and after designing a map of Geneva, Switzerland, he started making a name for himself. He now does most of his design work by computer, and has since mapped out towns and cities all over Canada, the U.S., Europe and Asia. He’s even done one of Mecca, as well as a series on the birthplaces of U.S. presidents such as Richard Nixon, which he presented to Nixon’s daughter and Dwight Eisenhower’s son “I am surprised how little is known about pictorial mapping. People who make the maps are totally invisible. I’ve been doing this for a long time, but people are barely aware of this art form,” he said. “However, now because of the rise of 3D in movies, pictorial mapping is being rediscovered.” Vernon’s map will be not only be fitted on to two prominent highway information signs at each end of town, but more than 300 posters will also be made, which will be sponsored by local advertisers and businesses. “I will also give prints to local businesses and some for the library,” said Rheault, who is also currently mapping the West Kootenays and plans to return to the Okanagan sometime in the fall. “This is one of my favourite places,” he said. “I’ve often thought about living here.”

Changes are coming
T
see a bigger decrease if you opt to take it between age 60 and 64. If you are age 65 in 2011, the maximum CPP benefit is $960 per month. If you wait until 2013 (and are age 70), your CPP cheque will be 42 per cent more than that. Taking your CPP pension before age 65 makes sense when: Your life expectancy is below the average of age 80 to 85. You have an illness that does not qualify for CPP disability. You have little or no other income. You are permanently unemployed. Andy Erickson Delaying your CPP pension beyond age 65 makes sense when: You health is good. Your life expectancy is above average.
he Canada Pension Plan is changing in gradual phases between 2011 and 2016 with the first big change beginning this year. Does that mean you need to rethink when to begin receiving your CPP pension? Maybe. Here’s why. These days, retirement means many things — from ceasing employment to working part-time or even starting your own business — and the CPP changes are intended to provide more financial flexibility depending on the retirement path you choose. They are also meant to encourage Canadians to work longer before starting to draw a government pension. Your monthly CPP pension amount will increase (gradually from 2011 to 2013) by a larger percentage if you take it after age 65 but you’ll
GUEST COLUMN
You have a reasonable income and/or intend to continue working after 65. The work cessation rule has been eliminated. Before the changes, you had to be at least 60 years of age and not working for at least two months in order to collect CPP. Now, starting at age 60, you can continue working and still receive CPP benefits. Under the old rules, once you began collecting CPP you never again had to contribute to the plan. Now, however, if you are under 65 and working while receiving a CPP pension, you (and your employer) will have to continue making CPP contributions (that will increase your CPP benefits beginning in 2013). If you are 65 to 70 and work while receiving CPP benefits, you have the choice of continuing to make CPP contributions (that will increase your CPP benefits beginning in 2013) or not.
The earnings drop-out provision, which allows you to exclude a portion of your pensionable earnings that can reduce your CPP benefit, has been changed. Previously, if you retired at 65, you could drop out seven of your lowest earning years from age 18 to 65 when you were eligible to contribute to CPP. Under the revised rules, that drop-out period increases to 7.5 years in 2012 and eight years in 2014. Talk to your professional advisor about getting the most out of the new CPP changes – and every other aspect of your financial and retirement life.

Basket opens up for picnics Basket Case Picnics opened just three weeks ago, and it’s already proving popular. The business is anchored around the farmers’ markets in Vernon, Kelowna and Peachland. “Demand for the picnics has been multi-faceted, ranging from boaters and special occasion romantic dates to anniversary celebrations and an elegant and cool alternative to at-home entertaining,” said owner Kelsey Galt. There are also about 50 Okanagan wineries with picnic licenses permitting al fresco wining and dining. “Basket Case Picnics will work closely with them to deliver on-site events, and to promote the opportunities to enjoy their wines with a fresh and flavorful dining experience, even where there isn’t a full-service restaurant on site,” said Galt.

TURKEY - The music is haunting: a solo flute plays a piercingly sweet melody supported by a soft steady drumbeat. An expectant hush falls on our audience as five men file into the circular arena and bow with arms crossed against their chests, to a master standing at one end. They then take their places in a circle. Clad in long flowing white gowns, brown caps on their heads, they begin to twirl, slowly at first and then gaining speed, their skirts fanning out, arms outstretched, eyes closed and heads angled to one side. They are the whirling dervishes of Turkey. Semâ as this ceremony is known, dates back to the life of a 13th century Sufi mystic named Rumi, who held the belief that all existence is circular, from the protons and electrons revolving in an atom, to the orbit of celestial bodies in the firmament. The wheel of creation is the core of all being, and the act of whirling awakens a sense of divine one-ness with God. The music grows softer, and the dervishes as they spin anti-clockwise seem to be in a spiritual trance, one outstretched palm held upwards to receive heaven’s beneficence, the other one turned downwards to transmit blessings to the earth. The notes die away. The men open their eyes and come to a halt. They bow once more and then file out to their cells for a period of meditation. The ceremony is a fitting introduction to the area of Turkey we are about to explore. Cappadocia in the central Anatolia region, is Turkey’s jewel casket. It is a treasure trove of ancient sites, artistic marvels — and extraordinary scenery. As our tour group’s bus rounds a corner late one evening, there is a collective

Travel Baptism site now open daily ISRAEL - After much investment in infrastructure to improve the spiritual experience and physical comfort of tourists and pilgrims, the Qasr el Yahud baptism site on the River Jordan, known as the place of Jesus’ baptism, is now open daily to the public. Recognized since the 4th century as the site of the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist, Qasr el Yahud is considered
the third most important site for Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land (after the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem and the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem). Israel’s Ministry of Tourism, among others, has invested about $2.3 million in renovating and upgrading the site. Wooden ramps into the Jordan River now allow pilgrims easy and comfortable access to
the waters for baptism; shaded areas have been erected for prayer sessions; and bathroom, shower and parking facilities have been upgraded. For information, go to www.goisrael.com.

An enchanted land of twisted rock turrets, mysterious caves, fairy chimneys and gigantic magical mushrooms; a place where rocky outcrops transform themselves into imaginary stone wizards with tall hats, gaping mouths and hollow eyes. Then, a little further away, at Uchisar an immense creamcoloured limestone cliff pocked with cave holes comes into view, prompting one of our group to exclaim. “Looks like a hunk of Swiss cheese!” Cappadocia has secrets that pierce the veils of time. In Kaymakli I step warily into a narrow aperture that fans out into a labyrinth of underground passages. The air smells dank and our voices bounce off the walls. This was once the hideout of as many as 5,000 early Christians forced underground by Roman persecution. The settlement had eight storeys (only four have been excavated so far) and apart from private living quarters, the complex also had a granary, water cisterns and animal barns. The community worshipped in a small chapel, celebrated fes-
tive occasions with wine from their cellar, and prepared meals in their kitchen. A ventilation chute provided fresh air even to a depth of four storeys. I stand in silence for a second or two imagining how the walls around me had once echoed with the voices of people who’d loved, laughed, cried, married, raised their families — and endured a mole like existence rather than forsake their faith. Amazing. I step out with relief into the bright sunshine. The open air museum at Goreme showcases medieval cave-churches painted by Christian monks between 1000 and 1200 AD. The vivid Byzantineera frescos are deserving of a better camera than mine, but no lens can capture the passion that went into the creation of these works of art that even after 10 centuries still have the power to transfix. My expectations run high as we approach Pamukkale (meaning “cotton castle”) but nothing prepares me for its sheer size and spectacle. Dazzling white calcified limestone “falls” and terraces of Turkey’s most celebrated mineral hot springs span 1,970 feet in width and tower 525 feet above the town of Pamukkale.

Study indicates savings through HST TOM FLETCHER Black Press
A 10 per cent harmonized sales tax will cost an average B.C. family $255 a year less than returning to the former provincial sales tax, according to a new study. David Murrell, professor of public finance at the University of New Brunswick, released the first version of his study last year, examining the switch to the HST in B.C. and Ontario. He calculated a 12 per cent HST would cost an average B.C. family an extra $490 in new sales taxes paid. Factoring in low-income tax credits and grants, the B.C. HST would mean an net $320 tax increase. After the B.C. government announced it would reduce the HST rate to 11 per cent next year and 10 per cent in 2014, Murrell updated his calculations and released the results this week. “If I were a B.C. voter, based on this evidence, I would vote no in the HST referendum,” Murrell said. Murrell did a similar study in 1997 when Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland expanded their provincial sales tax to include services, and cut the rate to eight per cent. He also found a net saving to taxpayers in those provinces. B.C. consumer savings come from three sources, Murrell said. Goods that were subject to PST will now have it reduced to five per cent. The government has offered personal income tax credits to help compensate for the new HST. And businesses pass on savings from writing off taxes on material inputs and capital spending, lowering the price of products and services. Jock Finlayson, vice-president of the Business Council of B.C., said Murrell’s study is the first independent academic analysis he has seen since
“If I were a B.C. voter, I would vote no.” — David Murrell the HST rate cut option was announced in May. Finlayson said he has heard many times that people don’t believe prices will be reduced as a result of HST tax breaks. But independent researchers have looked at the switch from retail sales taxes to value-
added taxes around the
world, and “without exception” they find that lower prices result, he said. With the Aug. 5 deadline for voting in B.C.’s HST referendum approaching, Fight HST organizers Bill Vander Zalm and Bill Tieleman
visited Elections B.C. facilities where they will observe as ballots are counted. They told reporters they have heard from hundreds of people concerned they won’t receive a voting package in time to participate,
and called for the government to intervene and establish a mechanism to allow late voting. “If [voters] called Elections B.C. and they were sent a package, it should get to them and they should be allowed
to vote,” Tieleman said. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said it is “ridiculous” to suggest that the government try to interfere with an independent office that has successfully supervised many elections and referendum votes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) This could turn out to be a successful day for you in two separate ways: one might have to do with a friendship, while the other is likely to involve something more serious. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) There are few better than you at dealing with people from all walks of life. Instinctively you should be able to perceive and resolve some issues that involve the multitudes. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Sometimes when dealing with others, the best thing we can do is adopt the line of least resistance. If you don’t take stance currently, however, the opposite could be true. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Don’t be afraid to try once again to do something that almost worked the last time. Chances are you learned from the experience and will do much better this time around. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Proper timing will considerably enhance your possibilities for success at this juncture. Follow your gut feelings as to when you should strike and when you should back off. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Others will believe in you only if and when they have evidence that you believe in yourself. Once this is confirmed, you shouldn’t have any trouble attracting allies to your cause. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Keep your objectives in mind at all times and display tenacity when going after them. If you apply yourself, you should easily be able to initiate the changes you so desire.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Through working together with an associate who has a stake in the same interest as you, ways to resolve a problem can be found. Two heads are better than one. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Although this may be one of your days off, your time can be best spent working on something that is not only constructive but a labor of love. Productive pursuits make you happy. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If you’re not already committed to something, structure your activities as loosely as you can. You’re apt to be in the mood to jump about, doing one thing after another. CANCER (June 21-July 22) This could be a moneymaking day for you, if that is where your focus lies. Your own resourcefulness will provide the ways and means to acquire the amount that you want to make.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder Sometimes you can afford to wait Isaac Newton, who died in 1727, said, “I keep the subject of my inquiry constantly before me, and wait till the first dawning opens gradually, by little and little, into a full and clear light.” That is like the bidding of a bridge hand. You describe your hand, partner sketches his, and eventually -- in theory, at least -- the light will dawn for one of you as to the best final contract. In today’s deal, South’s hand needs more high-card points to open two clubs, despite its having only three losers. One spade won’t be passed out. Then, when North responds two clubs, he
guarantees a second bid. So South can quietly rebid two hearts. This gives North the room to rebid three spades to show game-forcing values with exactly three spades. (If you play two-over-one, North would rebid two spades to transmit the same message.) Now South can launch Blackwood and bid seven spades when he learns that his partner has three aces. How should South play after West leads the diamond king? When I run this deal in classes, some players win the first trick with dummy’s diamond ace, cash the spade ace (seeing the 3-0 split), play off their ace and king of hearts, and ruff the heart
four on the board. However, disaster strikes when East overruffs. Then the declarers realize that with three trumps missing, they could draw those with their king, queen and jack. So they could have safely ruffed the heart four with dummy’s spade ace. Next time, next time!
