Severance hits $116,711

Career Chat

richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Lisa VanderVeLde/Morning star

Grade 11 Vernon Christian School student Victoria Grosch talks to second-year culinary arts students Melissa Masters (left) and Erin Kokayko during an information session on the program at Okanagan College.

A shift in management has had financial implications for North Okanagan taxpayers.

A freedom of information request from The Morning Star shows the Regional District of North Okanagan paid $116,711 in compensation in lieu of notice when Trafford Hall’s role as administrator ended April 10.

The severance is before statutory deductions, and Hall also received a used iPhone Trafford Hall and a laptop computer.

“I am bound by arrangements with the regional district not to comment,” said Hall when contacted about his severance.

“It is a fair and reasonable settlement but I can’t comment further.”

Hall, who had worked for the District of Kitimat for 17 years, began as RDNO administrator in May 2011.

The FOI documents also indicate that Hall incurred $44,091 in expenses between his 2011 start and his departure. The expenses were related directly to his duties as administrator for RDNO. In 2012, the last period for which information is available, Hall had a salary of $156,852 and expenses of $11,362.

RDNO is currently looking for a new administrator and Rob Smailes, general manager of planning and building, is serving as acting administrator.

Tight finances may lead to fewer school trustees richard rolke Morning Star Staff

North Okanagan-Shuswap school trustees have been swinging the budget axe, and they could be the next target.

The district is reviewing if the number of elected officials should be reduced from nine to seven.

“With continuing shortfalls, nothing escapes a look at possibly saving money,” said Chris Coers Chris Coers, Enderby trustee.

The board is moving ahead with $1.8 million in cuts, including fewer special edu-

cation teachers, counselling staff, speech and language pathologists and teacher/librarians.

“It’s been pointed out by our employee groups that we have nine trustees and not many districts have nine,” said Coers, adding the current structure occurred when the former Armstrong and Shuswap districts merged in 1996.

It’s anticipated that eliminating two trustees could save the district about $25,000 a year.

“The enrolment numbers in the outlying areas are declining so we thought we should look at it,” said Coers.

Cost savings aside, though, there are concerns that a reduction in trustees could negatively impact representation for com-

munities in the district.

“Enderby is not Armstrong and Armstrong is not Sicamous,” said Coers.

Presently, there is one trustee each for Enderby, Falkland, Carlin/Sorrento, North Shuswap and Sicamous/Malakwa, two for Armstrong/Spallumcheen and two from Salmon Arm. “The things that matter to the communities and families in Enderby may look different than elsewhere.”

Coers added that when the issue of cutting trustees has arisen before, many parents were opposed.

“They were not willing to sacrifice their voice for such a small amount of money.”

As part of the current review, municipalities and regional districts, as well as

residents, will be consulted.

“We want to see what their thoughts are,” said Coers.

Pool makes a splash Morning Star Staff

Lumby’s pool is gearing up for another season.

It’s expected the facility will open its doors this coming week.

“By popular demand our early bird pricing on season’s swim passes is back again this year,” said Meghan Ross, co-aquatic co-ordinator.

“This sale will see prices reduced by almost 50 per cent. A new addition you’ll want to check out this year is a season’s pass for those below the age of 18. All season’s passes are only on sale until June 13.”

The pool will also offer a variety of programs.

“In addition to our regular Red Cross swimming lessons for kids, we’ve improved on our adult swim lessons to make them even better,” said Ross.

“Designed to accommodate a range of swimming abilities, over the course of eight adult swim lessons the instructor will work with you

Oil sector fuels jobs strategy richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Northern communities aren’t the only ones benefitting from the oil and natural gas boom.

The North Okanagan is encouraging resource sector businesses to headquarter here or for their employees to buy homes in the valley.

“We have companies that support the oil and gas sector,” said Kevin Poole, Vernon’s economic development manager.

“R h i n o k o r (in Spallumcheen) does composite rig mats and fracking tanks. There’s also Westwood Electric.”

In the case of Westwood Kevin Poole Electric, the senior administration is in Vernon as well as the support systems for 300 employees.

“A lot of those people live here and work in Alberta and Saskatchewan,” said Poole.

“Why not have more of those people?”

Another local firm that is active in the oil sector is Summit Environmental.

To promote what the North Okanagan has to offer to prospective manufacturers and corporate offices, Poole will attend the Global Petroleum Show in Calgary June 9 to 12.

A key issue that will be discussed is the North Okanagan’s climate and recreational amenities as decisions about purchasing a home or where to locate a business are often based on lifestyle.

“One worker in Kelowna is out for a week (on the job) and back in for a week,” said Poole.

“He wanted to maximize every day on the lake and beach and he brings those dollars (wages) back here.”

Also working in the North Okanagan’s favour is its proximity to Kelowna International Airport.

“It allows companies to attract staff to the area they want to live in while still providing them with the connections to those other areas where they work,” said Poole.

However, one challenge when trying to lure manufacturers here is the lack of industrial land.

Poole is currently working with his Regional District of North Okanagan counterparts to address that issue.

“We have to look at how to service these lands,” he said of the need for water and sewer.

City challenges Canada Post plan richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Canada Post will get some priority mail over its plans to scrap door-to-door delivery.

Vernon council will write the Crown corporation and express opposition to the lack of consultation about moving from residential mail service to community mail boxes.

“There’s been no consultation about these changes and there’s been no opportunity to provide input on the implications,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham.

It’s not known when door-to-door delivery could end in Vernon and when neighbourhood mail boxes would be installed.

“There are challenges about where the boxes would be located,” said Cunningham.

“If they are on the city right-of-way, there is an issue of maintenance and there’s also litter.”

Cunningham also believes mail boxes could negatively impact traffic flow in some neighbourhoods.

“There’s been no consultation.”

— Cunningham

There is also a concern that the mail boxes could be targeted by thieves.

Challenge promotes fitness roger knox Morning Star Staff

Hockey players of any age and any ability will have a chance to play in Vernon along with current and former NHL stars.

North Okanagan Youth and Family Services Society (NOYFSS) presents its third Fitness For Families Hockey Challenge May 30 and 31.

“Our youngest competitor so far is five, the oldest is 65,” said event spokesperson Dean Francks of NOYFSS. “It’s open to anyone of all ages. You can register as an individual or as a team.”

There is no registration fee, per se, but players who sign up are encouraged to take pledge forms to help raise money for NOYFSS. A minimum $50 in pledges per player would be appreciated.

Pledge and registration forms can be picked up and dropped off at NOYFSS on 32nd Avenue, across from Canada Post.

The event kicks off May 30, with a social at Paddlewheel Park Hall starting at 6:30 p.m.

The hockey tournament will be played

“We like to encourage family-friendly activities.”

—Dean Francks

throughout the day Saturday, May 31, at the Okanagan Training Rink on 27th Avenue.

Each hockey team will be captained by either a current or former NHL star. Francks is expecting about 16 to 20 NHL-ers to take part.

Some of the players he has asked to be involved, he said, are still taking part in the Stanley Cup playoffs so have not been able to fully commit.

One who has is current Vernon resident and Greater Vernon Minor Hockey coach

“I’m looking forward to taking part in the hockey challenge,” said McAmmond, 40.

“It’s a way to give something back, especially now that I have a bigger part in the Vernon community.

When this first came out I had just become a Vernonite.”

There’s more than just hockey going on at OTR Saturday.

The public is invited to come down for free, watch the hockey action, take part in kids’ games set up in the parking lot, eat some food and listen to live music.

Sun FM will be on location.

NHL players will also have autograph tables set up.

“Saturday is totally free to the community,” said Francks.

“We take pride because of the nature of our business, we like to encourage familyfriendly activities.”

The Fitness For Families Hockey Challenge raises funds for NOYFFS programs.

“All the proceeds go toward programs designed for children, teenagers and for parents,” said Jan Shumay, executive director at NOYFSS. “These programs are not funded by any other source, and are programs that NOYFSS provides at no cost to our participants.”

Corporate sponsorship has also been excellent for the event with Francks stating there has been plenty of interest in the hockey challenge from the corporate community.

That includes Vernon-based Tolko Industries.

“This type of support fits in perfectly with the community support we do,” said Tolko’s Don Hanson.

“Supporting communities, families and children is a big part of what we do.”

Public urged to lobby officials over mussels richard rolke Morning Star Staff

North Okanagan residents are being urged to protect their lifestyle and economy.

The City of Vernon is encouraging the public to demand the federal and provincial governments take action to prevent quagga and zebra mussels from arriving in the valley.

“We’re encouraging residents to write their MLAs and MPs,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham.

Letter templates can be found at www.vernon.ca/mussels.

The mussels are indigenous to Europe and since arriving in North America, they have spread across the continent, clogging

There is a concern about zebra and quagga mussels. water intake pipes and boat motors.

They also deplete food sources for fish, produce toxins that contaminate drinking water and razor-sharp shells spread across beaches.

On March 12, a truck at the Osoyoos border crossing was found to be transporting a boat infested with the mussels.

The border guard didn’t have the legal authority to stop the truck from entering, but he was aware of concerns about mussels and asked the truck driver to co-operate. The boat was decontaminated before being moored on Okanagan Lake.

The Okanagan Basin Water Board has been lobbying the federal government to permit

border guards to prohibit entry of any contaminated vessels. It also wants the provincial government to create an inspection program.

The city wants additional training for conservation officers and increased awareness among boat owners.

“We’ve been talking about this for a couple of years and the concern is escalating,” said Cunningham, who sits on the OBWB board.

“The longer we delay action, the more opportunity there is of an incident of mussels being introduced. This is one of the most significant risks to our environment and water.”

Driving Miss Crazy

just saw a report that said eight out of 10 car crashes or near-crashes are caused by distracted drivers. Thank goodness I was watching TV while I was driving, or I might have missed that.

It’s one of those stories that can change your life. So I called Sue to tell her, but the cellphone reception was bad out on the interstate, so I told her I’d get back to her when I was on one of the service roads.

I wonder, though, do we really need a study to know that distracted drivers cause accidents?

Jim Mullen Or is it like one of those million-dollar studies that takes years of research to shock us with the news that mother’s milk is OK for babies to drink?

Do we need a study to tell us people do insane things behind the wheel? All you have to do is pull out of your driveway to realize that the inmates have taken over the asylum.

Hang on, I’ve got to stop typing and pay attention to the guy in front of me. He’s driving erratically; he’s all over the road. I think he may be drunk.

Well, at least he’s not distracted. Never mind -- I just flew past him and I think he’s sober, and he wasn’t on the phone or texting. He was just updating his Facebook status. Seems he’s less distracted now that someone took a baseball bat to his left headlight.

I know a lot of people work out of their cars now. The front passenger seat is their entire office. It’s got the computer, the filing cabinet, water cooler -- everything you need to run a business, right there within easy reach. The back seat is the conference room. I suppose the most common business to run out of a car is car insurance claims adjuster.

VillAgE idiot

Oh, look at that! The woman in the next lane is putting on her makeup while she’s driving.

That is so wrong! What is she thinking? Those aren’t her colors at all! Doesn’t she know bright red is sooo over? She should be using pastels and soft, soft translucent colors. They should take away her license. Not her driver’s license, her beautician’s license. Doesn’t she read Vogue while she’s driving?

Hang on, what’s this? The traffic’s slowing down to a crawl. Probably an accident. But I see there’s nothing on the local TV station about it yet.

Let me click through the channels. Nope, nothing. Why are we drivers always the last to know? If only I could get basic cable in the car.

Wait, this looks serious. There are two cars over in the disabled lane. An accident? Road rage? A fender-bender? Has anyone been hurt?

Will an ambulance be showing up soon? No, it looks like ... I don’t believe this! They’ve pulled off the road to eat lunch!

They are sitting behind the wheel, eating in parked cars. No wonder there’s rubbernecking.

Now I’ve absolutely seen everything!

They can’t eat French fries and drive at the same time? How did they ever get a driver’s license? Isn’t that part of the test, being able to eat and drive at the same time? If it isn’t part of the test, it should be. It would keep nutcases like that off the road -- they’re distracting me.

I’ve eaten peel ‘n’ eat shrimp while driving and playing a video game at the same time, and these people can’t choke down a hamburger without have to park their cars? They could cause an accident.

Uh-oh. A cop. Now that’s a distraction -- all those lights and sirens pulling up behind me, and the loudspeaker telling me to pull over. Twice in one day. That’s four times this week. It’s making me a nervous wreck.

When are they going to do a study about that?

Contact Jim Mullen at JimMullenBooks.com.

It’s good to hear North Okanagan-Shuswap School District trustees will leave no stone unturned when it comes to cutting costs, even if it means they may be directly impacted.

The district is reviewing if the number of elected officials should be reduced from nine to seven.

“With continuing shortfalls, nothing escapes a look at possibly saving money,” said trustee Chris Coers.

Obviously the $25,000 a year that would be saved by having two fewer trustees is a drop in the bucket compared to the overall $1.8 million shortfall in 2014/15. But when deficits occur annually, every penny counts and it would be interesting to know how many classroom supplies $25,000 would purchase? Could it make the difference between a student seeing a speech pathologist or not?

The other thing to consider is that while the North OkanaganShuswap has nine trustees, most other districts, including Vernon and Kelowna, have seven.

Granted, North OkanaganShuswap covers a large geographical area and has some distinct communities, but at a time when enrolment is shrinking and there are fewer schools to govern, why would this district have more elected officials at the table than other jurisdictions?

Obviously before any changes occur, there needs to be a solid public consultation process to ensure communities continue to have sufficient representation.

However, all potential money-saving options must be considered thoroughly, and by taking a new direction, trustees may develop a sense of what their laid-off employees have been facing.

Get on board the rail trail

n a recent Thursday evening, I, along with dozens of others, met at the Schubert Centre to hear about and see on the screen, the proposed plan for the Okanagan Rail Trail.

This rail trail would be developed on the rail line between Coldstream and downtown Kelowna.

This is a distance of about 50 kilometres. The scenery is magnificent along Kalamalka, Wood and Duck lakes.

As this abandonment of the CN rail line goes through due process, local citizens need to show our support for the possibility of this wonderful recreation corridor at our doorstep.

Currently, one company is investigating the feasibility of operating this line for business purposes. They have until July 2

tourist booth Having written a letter previously expressing my opinion on the relocation of the tourist booth with the advantage of my experiences from a recent RV cross Canada trip, I read John Raikes letter with interest.

With regards to RV pilots checking their laptop or tablet via Wi-Fi, this may come as a surprise, but Canada is not covered from sea to shinning sea by Wi-Fi access.

The smarter tourism booths at the entrance to towns provide Internet access.

On our trip with two other RV units, we had done all of the pre-planning with the BCAA booklets and Internet, and knew in advance the main attractions we wished to visit and knew pretty much in advance where we would be camping. But we always called in at the tourist booths before entering a town to ascertain what was worth seeing/doing locally.

I can assures anyone that the last thing an RV pilot wants is to drive into the centre of a town with their unit. They will just bypass any town that imposes this on visitors as they prefer to park their unit and then explore the local attractions in a smaller vehicle (a VW camper was part of our small group) or their towing vehicle after setting up the larger units.

What the city has to do is accommodate both those who choose to travel in RVs and those who travel by automobile using hotels/ motels, as given the price of gas there is little difference now in the cost of using a large RV or travelling by car using hotels/motels, and I suspect the number of tourists is split fairly

to make a decision.

Register your support and comments, evenly over both groups.

Given the importance of tourism in B.C., one hopes that some bureaucrat or business group with a vested interest hasn't made a business case that it costs less to operate one tourist office in town than two at the main entrances to the city as this will only alienate the RVers.

Surely the hotels and restaurants who profit from tourists and businesses who run campgrounds and attractions that are utilized by both groups of tourists can get together on this and finance the operation of both tourism booths and an office disseminating tourist information electronically which could be located anywhere including one of the present locations.

Perhaps the city should not even be involved in spending taxpayers dollars on tourist offices and restrict its activities to providing the basics such as adequate quantities of good water, roads, sewer and parks. brian sutch wolf hunt The province of B.C. has spent the past 16 months to develop, seek input on, and further refine a wolf management plan.

An overwhelming response against the proposed plan was put forward by the public, as well as non-governmental organizations.

Since the release of the plan April 17, scientists and conservationists have called the plan deeply flawed, saying it contains many scientifically unsound and uninformed objectives. It has been called sanctioned torturing, inhumane, primitive and brutal.

and encourage your friends to do the same. Go to www.okanaganrailtrail.ca The published plan amounts to a government sponsored torture and kill program for wolves. It allows trapping of lactating females and does not meet international standards for humane trapping according to the B.C. Trappers Association. It allows baiting, shooting from helicopters, using neck snares that can catch animals by the neck, midsection, or a limb so the wire tightens as the animal struggles, resulting in a slow painful death.

Given the evidence that this kind of indiscriminate killing, combined with years of sterilization experiments, results in smaller and more unstable packs that lead to increased conflicts with humans, it is completely out of sync with protecting B.C.'s wilderness, cattle and caribou, as government would have us believe.

Despite B.C.'s relaxed hunting policies, as well as hiring of trappers to kill wolves, despite government having engaged in sterilization experiments and government control kill for more than a decade, government officials admit these programs have not resulted in any measurable benefits for caribou despite nearly all the wolves being killed in caribou recovery area.

The only way to truly protect caribou as well as all wildlife is to set aside large tracts of wilderness where animals can live according to their nature. The only way to protect privately-owned cattle grazing on provincial Crown land is for ranchers to shepherd their animals, not to kill all wild animals who live in that habitat.

The restoration of wolves in Yellowstone

Our federal, provincial, transit and municipal governments need to know that we are anxious for the development of this rail trail to happen!

Beginning July 2, the federal government has 30 days in which to decide if they want the property.

Then the provincial government has 30 days, and so on.

The establishment of this rail trail would dedicate this corridor for public use for all time to come.

If it does not happen, this extraordinary linear property will be sold off for individual private use.

The future of this land is in our hands.

What do we want — public or private use?

J. schafer National Park is proof that wolves benefit ecosystems. According to Sadie Parr, of Wolf Awareness, "Wolves maintain biodiversity and balance and contribute to critical natural processes such as carbon storage, disease control, stream morphology, vegetation growth, mesopredator control, and more."

If wolves and other wild animals are to continue to exist in B.C., it is time for B.C. to start conserving instead of killing. huguette Allen

People are increasingly turning to social media for information and that is changing how officials promote recreational opportunities.

The White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee is moving towards a social media policy for programs and facilities such as the Lumby pool.

“It’s a growing trend among young parents,” said Randal Ostafichuk, committee director.

“It’s an easy way to interact with people.”

“It’s a growing trend.”

— Ostafichuk

Staff have suggested that an enhanced presence on Facebook could be beneficial.

“It is expected that social media will encourage recreation program participation and, subsequently, revenue through fees,” said Tannis Nelson, community development co-ordinator.

The swimming pool has previously had a Facebook page, but

the committee had no formal policy governing social media.

“We wanted to determine what’s appropriate to use and not appropriate,” said Ostafichuk.

Any social media postings will be simply for providing information and not interacting directly with residents.

“There won’t be a forum for discussion and debate,” said Ostafichuk.

It’s anticipated staff will only spend about 15 minutes a day updating and monitoring social media and Ostafichuk doesn’t believe there will be a significant budget impact.

well as provide opportunities for input from the public and the communities affected by potential closures.

Sterling Olson, secretary treasurer, says previously in the district, schools could be considered for closure when there is a situation of a fourgrade split class.

He cited Silver Creek Elementary, which may have such a situation in the upcoming school year, as one which would be reviewed in this report.

Olson says the report would also consider shifts in the configuration of schools, for example changing a kindergarten to Grade 7 school to include Grade 8 or converting a current kindergarten to Grade 8 school into a kindergarten to Grade 5 option.

“It will help the centre re-establish the trails that were destroyed by the mudslide,” said Judy Fischer, event organizer.

The 10th annual golf tournament will take place at the Mabel Lake Golf and Country Club.

“It raises money for walking and hiking trails in the Enderby area,” said Fischer.

Dale, who died in 2004, was a former mayor of Enderby and Regional District of North Okanagan director.

“He was a firm believer in walking and he loved to hike in the Mabel Lake area,” said Fischer, Dale’s sister.

Tee time for the tournament starts at 1:30 p.m. and the event also includes a buffet dinner, silent auction and prizes.

Ten thousand students from across B.C. competed, 285 made the provincial finals, and two students from Vernon took home top awards in this year’s pan-provincial French public speaking competition, Concours d’art oratoire.

The provincial medal winners were Ben Miller, who is Grade 7 at Beairsto Elementary, and Lucas Newman, who is in Grade 8 at W.L. Seaton Secondary.

“In addition to the cultural and language benefits, Concours d’art oratoire helps students develop their creative and public speaking abilities, as well as self-confidence,” said Patti Holm, Canadian Parents for French B.C. president.

The other provincial finalists from Vernon were: Rebecca Haberstock – Grade 6 at Harwood Kristian Hovdebo – Grade 6 at Beairsto Jessica Linenko - Grade 7 at Harwood Kristen Morgan - Grade 9 at W.L. Seaton Katrina Pleasance - Grade 10 at W.L. Seaton

4-H tees up new event Morning Star Staff

Do you ever wonder where the next leaders will come from?

Who will be the next secretary or treasurer or president of your local club? Who will work so you can retire?

B.C. 4-H is developing the people to fill those shoes and the B.C. 4-H Foundation needs the public’s support.

The inaugural B.C. 4-H Charity Classic golf tournament is set for June 16 at the Spallumcheen Golf

and Country Club.

“Enjoy 18 holes of Texas scramble golf, cart, dinner sponsored

by Kubota, prizes for all and chances to win hole-in-one prizes: $5,000 cash donated by Investors Group and a Gator RSX850i Sport donated by Prairie Coast Equipment,” said Karen Fenske, fund development coordinator.

The live auction includes a 2014 Grey Cup package for Vancouver, an

Okanagan wine tour, a PNE package, a Silver Star ski package, a signed 2013/2014 Canucks jersey, rounds of golf, ad space in Country Life, Western Producer, The Morning Star, and the 4-H in B.C. Newsletter, and more.

Proceeds will go to B.C. 4-H youth development programing.

“4-H members belong to a club, and in that club each member is responsible for their own project. 4-H is known for its strong relationship with agriculture and traditional animal based projects, however, projects now range from photography to food preparation, repairing small engines to sewing, showing dogs to cows – the possibilities are endless. In 4-H, there is a place for everyone.”

Fenske says the goal is to see more youth have the 4-H experience, access to the travel opportunities, public speaking, running meetings and scholarships.

“The golf tournament is geared towards increasing the awareness of B.C. 4-H programs, celebrating our 100th anniversary and raising funds for 4-H programs.”

Lace up to Do it for Dad Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation has announced Interior Savings Credit Union is the title sponsor for the 15th annual Do It For Dad Run/Walk.

The June 15 event takes place at Coldstream Ranch and funds will go towards an ureterorenoscope for the treatment of prostate cancer at Vernon Jubilee Hospital.

“When we work together to improve the quality of life for our friends, family and neighbours, we build a stronger community,” said Kathy Conway, Interior Savings chief executive.

“We are pleased to support the community’s efforts in the fight against prostate cancer.”

For the past 14 years, Interior Savings has sponsored the event to fight prostate cancer, which is the third leading cause of death from cancer in men in Canada. On average, 65 Canadian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer every day and it is estimated 11 Canadian men will die from this disease daily.

“Do It For Dad is an important Father’s Day tradition with long-standing support from our sponsors, volunteers and participants,” said Sue Beaudry, VJHF director of development.

Do It For Dad will begin with the Coldstream Fire Department signaling the start of the race with its fire truck sirens. The Kalamalka Highlanders Pipe Band will serenade participants from the hillsides along the route and the Kalamalka Caring Klowns will entertain.

Event founder April Sanders will present awards and prizes donated by local supporters to top finishers in male and female categories, as well as most funds raised by an individual and team. Brian Martin, of Sun FM, will return as the master of ceremonies and following the event, lunch will be provided by Subway.

Registration opens at 8:30 a.m. and the walk and run starts at 9:30 a.m. Registration is $10 for youths and $20 for adults. Participants who raise $50 or more in pledges will have their registration fee waived.

Pledges and donations can be made online at www.vjhfoundation.org/events/do-it-for-dad.

For more information, call 250-558-1362.

For the record The Morning Star wishes to correct an error in the May 16 edition. Tim and Sandy Varga, authors of Loving Him To A Fault, will host a book signing at Complete Health today from 1 to 3 p.m.

Kindergarten student Ella ‘Lightning Quick’ Lachance made it to the Rock, Paper, Scissors finals but was defeated by Grade 4 ‘Punisher’ Melina Pelosof.

A sharp draw from Melina ‘The Punisher’ Pelosof literally cut the tension filling the Mission Hill gym as all eyes were glued on the final move in rock, paper, scissors action.

With the Rocky theme song playing in the background, the Punisher’s scissors ultimately beat kindergarten student Ella ‘Lightning Quick’ Lachance’s paper, ending a three-week schoolwide competition.

“I was nervous at first,” admitted the 10-year-old, as classmates, teachers and even some parents packed the school gymnasium for the recent Rock, Paper, Scissor finals.

Meanwhile, with her mom cheering her on from the sidelines, ‘Lightning Quick’ Lachance was cool as a cucumber that her lifelong practice at the sport would pay off.

“It’s a fun game,” said the six-year-old. “I’ve

played it lots before with my family.”

Even though she didn’t win this round, Lachance is eager to take part in the sport for the remainder of her elementary school career.

And teacher DerriAnn Cooper hopes to give her that chance.

“Hopefully the tradition continues,” said Cooper, who brought the Rock, Paper, Scissors competition to the school.

“This is the first one here.”

Cooper first introduced the competition to BX Elementary eight years ago, where it was welcomed just as equally by all students.

“It’s something everybody can participate in,” said Cooper, adding that it’s also a way to promote friendly competition and sportsmanship.

STRESS Reduce Stress and Recharge Are you feeling the negative effects of stress? Stress has become a serious health issue for a growing number of people. In some circumstances, stress can be a positive thing; it can motivate you to perform at your best, or help to make a quick decision in an emergency situation. But, stress becomes negative when it becomes part of daily life.

Chronic stress affects the body, behavior, and mood. It can cause high blood pressure, constant headaches, increased risk of heart attack, and muscle pain or tension, along with a number of other serious health concerns. Try some of these helpful tips to reduce stress and prevent the negative impact it can have on your wellbeing.

Understand the Cause • Keep a stress journal. Make an entry each time you experience the feelings of pressure, anxiety or stress. Note what you were doing and what factors contribute to your stress levels. This will allow you to recognize stress triggers and assist you in adjusting your daily routine to avoid them.

ENROLMENT LIMITED - REGISTER EARLY LAST DAY FOR REGISTRATION IS MAY 30TH Live well.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Take Daily Lifestyle Steps • Two factors to help reduce stress: get a good night’s sleep, and participate in daily exercise. Get at least eight hours of sleep in a dark cool room. Darkness triggers the release of the sleep hormone Melatonin. Daily exercise releases endorphins and reduces the build of stress hormones.

Supplements for Wellness • Look for products that include Ashwaganda, Rhodiola or Siberian Ginseng, as these are all restorative herbs that help the body reduce anxiety, depression and the effects of stress. GABA, 5-HTP or L-Theanine, help with the body’s production and balance of key hormones.

Dexter Dancs figured he was overdue to pull something big for the Vernon Vipers.

The big North Vancouver winger went sky-high Thursday night, recording the overtime snipe as the Vipers iced the Toronto Lakeshore Patriots 3-2 in a Royal Bank Cup roundrobin showdown at Kal Tire Place.

The Vipers faced the Western champion Yorkton Terriers in the national Junior A hockey semifinal Saturday afternoon. Vernon, Yorkton and the Eastern Rep Carleton Place Canadians of Ottawa all finished the round-robin at 2-2.

The Vipers placed second by virtue of a better goals for and against record in games between the group.

The West No. 2 seeded Dauphin Kings topped preliminary play and battled the Canadians Saturday at 6 p.m. The Kings had the choice of either the matinee or evening game.

The gold-medal game goes today, 4:30 p.m., live on TSN. Vernon has won a record six national titles.

Dancs, voted the Vipers’ co-MVP a week ago, scored with 9:43 left in OT, beating Toronto goalie Evan Buitenhuis from in tight. Michael McNicholas and d-man Riley Guenther drew assists on the powerplay marker. Toronto star sniper Kevin Shier had served 68 seconds of a high sticking minor.

“It was a hell of a game for sure, probably the best game I’ve ever played in,” said Dancs, who got the game MVP hard hat from his teammates. “There’s no other way we’d rather win it, home and overtime. It’s a pretty special feeling.”

Dancs used all his 6-foot-2, 205-pound frame to crash the net for the winner and take Player of the Game honours.

“I got it on the goal-line and I kind of took it to the net and the d-man didn’t come to me and I was to go around the goalie and tuck it in.”

Dancs, McNicholas and Demico Hannoun broke out with their best game of the tournament.

“I wasn’t happy with my first three games of the tournament and coach sat my line down and talked to us and I thought we were way better tonight,” said Dancs.

Vernon goalie Austin Smith made a stellar save off Shier (32 points to lead the country in the post-season) from the slot, three minutes into overtime.

The crowd of 2,450 figured it was game over when Hannoun went hard to the net and redirected a gorgeous pass from the left side wall by McNicholas.

Toronto forced overtime with seven seconds left with Viper playoff hero Colton Sparrow off for high sticking. Smooth-skating d-man Michael Prapavessis netted the equalizer on a wild scramble, the assist going to Nathan Feric. Sparrow had been in the penalty box 29 seconds.

Centre Andreas Tsogkas put Toronto up six minutes into the game with a wrister from the middle past a screened Smith. Vernon d-man Kenny Citron had just returned to the ice after serving a minor for holding.

Shortly after the Vipers couldn’t convert on a brief 5-on3 powerplay, Brett Mulcahy tipped in a Sparrow feed from behind the net for the equalizer.

Vernon outshot Toronto 46-24 and were the better team

LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

Dexter Dancs of the Vernon Vipers slips the puck past Toronto Lakeshore Patriots’ goalie Evan Buitenhuis for the 3-2 overtime winner Thursday night before 2,450 fans at Kal Tire Place. The national Junior A hockey gold-medal goes today at 4 p.m. on the night, but didn’t have a ton of quality scoring chances.

The Patriots are a patient, gritty team and they hung around long enough to cause the Vipers some grief. Buitenhuis was Toronto’s Player of the Game.

“Both teams played excellent tonight,” said Smith. “I gotta commend Toronto for their effort and how well they played tonight. That was more our style of hockey tonight, more our game.”

The Vipers’ hit parade was led by Citron and Logan Mick.

Both players rocked Toronto’s Rory Bell, Citron knocking Bell’s lid flying near the Viper blueline early in the second period. Mick belted the durable Bell along the side wall in the neutral zone seven minutes later.

Hannoun lost an edge and fell on a partial breakaway early in the third, while Mulcahy just failed to jam the puck past Buitenhuis short side a few minutes later.

Guenther made a gigantic shot block just seconds before Smith stood his ground on Shier in the extra session.

Smith, who gave way to Danny Todosychuk after allow-

ing two goals in a 5-2 loss to Dauphin Tuesday night, could not be faulted on either Toronto tally.

The Vipers dominated most of overtime, outshooting the Pats 9-2.

“From start to finish, I thought we deserved to win that game,” said Viper head coach Jason Williamson. “We were what we wanna be. We were hard, we were physical, we were very simple and our top guys were our best players. It was a game we needed to have and the guys showed up.”

Toronto, a good skating club based in Etobicoke, rung up a 35-win season and were making their first appearance as Central champs in a nationals.

“We were maybe a little nervous in the first half of the game, being a younger team trying to get to this stage, but I thought they adjusted really well and pushed back in the last 10, 15 minutes of the game,” said Toronto head coach Jason Fortier, 39, who also served as co-coach of the Toronto Nationals at the Telus Cup Midget nationals in Moose Jaw.

Gymnasts earn way to nationals Morning Star Staff

The Okanagan Rhythmic Gymnastics Club will be represented by six athletes at the national championshps, May 28-31, in Ottawa.

Vernon owned the podium a month ago at the Western Canadian Championships, in Winnipeg, with each province carrying both Western Stream athletes, in the hunt for regional titles.

National Stream girls were vying for podium or top-10 finishes and a berth to the Canadians.

The Vernon athletes’ commitment to excellence was evident yet again.

In a field of 27, Jaedyn Andreotti took silver in the National Novice level, securing herself a ticket to nationals, as did teammate Isabella Haldane, finishing eighth, landing squarely in that coveted top-10.

In the Junior National level, Tessa Rohatensky and Emma Jotie were strong, paving their way to Ottawa. Emily O’Quinn entertained with her always sassy hoop routine, and Senior National Kelsey Anderson snagged a sixth and a spot at nationals.

Okanagan athlete and Junior National teamer, Megan Hamilton, will accompany her five teammates to Ottawa, determined to retain her spot on Team Canada.

Of the 18 Vernon athletes who competed at Westerns, an incredible 14 finished in the top-eight.

Ashlyn Andreotti was seventh in free, Georgia Currie, place eighth in free, Abby Wessels and Meagan Lightfoot were both fifth all around, Anastasia Martens place eighth in ball, Leah Defeo was seventh all around and Isabel Wiseman claimed eighth in clubs.

The Junior ‘Hoop Group’’ of Chloe Bozak, Defeo, Martens, Emmalee Holland, and Isabel Wiseman struck gold at the Westerns, while the

Novice ‘Ball Group’ of Halle Moger, Lightfoot, Jaedyn Andreotti, Chantel Bennett, and Isabella Haldane took silver.

The Western Stream Level 3 podium standings mirrored that of the Vancouver provincials; Moger earning gold as Level 3 Western champ, and Naomi Yacyshen at her side as the silver medalist.

Holland, the Level 4 provincial queen, didn’t disappoint, stealing gold yet again, and the title of Level 4 western champ.

The road to the nationals started at provincials in early April. Led by head coach and Olympian, Camille Martens, and assistants Brie-Anne MacPherson and Tammy Andreotti, the 18-member team was strong and ready.

Training hard since December, competing in their own local Zones/Queen of Hearts event, invitational events in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, a national qualifier in Edmonton, and a World Cup event in Hungary, the hard work had clearly paid off.

In a field of athletes from eight clubs, Moger reigned supreme as the Level 3 provincial champion and gold medalist.

To her left, was Yacyshen taking silver. The Vernon athletes kept the podium warm as the spotlight turned to Level 4, where Holland pocketed the gold medal. At her side was Lightfoot, taking bronze.

At the National Novice level, Team Okanagan’s grip on the podium remained strong with Jaedyn Andreotti taking silver.

The Novice group of Moger, Lightfoot, Jaedyn Andreotti, Bennett and Haldane stole the gold with their riveting ball routine.

The Junior ‘Group’ of Bozak, Defeo, Martens, Holland and Wiseman also took gold with their enchanting hoop routine.

“It’s unfortunate. We had a good talk in the room and obviously, it’s never a good moment when you’ve seen tears in a player’s eyes. There’s not much you can other than comfort them. We should be proud of what this team did and there could much more from this team in the future.”

Hard-hitting winger Brendan Persley, who was injured early in Vernon’s tournament opener Saturday and can hardly walk, played a handful of courageous shifts before taking a seat. Williamson planned to put Persley back in the lineup Saturday.

“It’s a day-to-day thing, but he adds so much life and bench to our bench. He’s a leader through and through. He’s good even on one good leg.”

The gold-medal game goes Sunday at 4:30 p.m., live on TSN. Vernon has six national titles, while the other three semifinalists are looking for their first. Yorkton and Dauphin have both lost in the finals once. The Canadians are making their first appearance in the nationals.

The Royal Bank Cup, Canada’s 44th National Junior A

Championship, held its awards banquet at the Vernon & District Performing Arts Centre Friday night with Sparrow taking home a pair of prestigious awards.

“Things are going pretty well for me right now. I love the game and for this to be in my hometown and do something like this is pretty surreal. It is something I’ll look back on for the rest of my life,” said Sparrow.

Sparrow won the Top Forward and Top Scorer awards. He leads the RBC Cup with five goals and seven points.

Dauphin net detective Michael Stiliadis won the Top Goaltender and the Rold Mercier Most Valuable Player. He has a bullet-proof 1.91 goals against average and a .943 save percentage.

Michael Prapavessis of the Patriots won the Top Defenceman award and Brett D’Andrea of the Canadians won the Tubby Schmalz Most Sportsmanlike Trophy.

The RBC Cup Legacy Scholarships were also handed out at the awards banquet. Vipers’ defenceman Josh Bryan was HOCKEY CANADA IMAGES one of the five recipients for $500.

After a strong showing through the first four games, Seibel drew the start and helped propel the Heat to a 5-3 win with superb goaltending. Vernon’s Erik Pastro contributed 1+1 on the weekend and was a force on the penalty kill and was relentless with his aggressive twoway play.

Cyclists are hitting the road as the weather improves, but safety is paramount.

The City of Vernon is encouraging cyclists and motorists to be aware of each other.

“Vernon’s bike lanes help provide green transportation opportunities, help promote safe cycling and are an important component of the city’s transportation plan,” said Clint Kanester, manager of bylaw compliance.

Bike lanes are designated by signs or painted markings on the roadway and are marked with a diamond that designates them as special-use lanes.

In more rural areas of Vernon or where there is no designated sidewalk or curb, other white painted lines near the road edge called fog lines designate the vehicular travel portion of the roadway.

These helpsmotorists stay in their lanes and allow the shoulder of the roadway to be used for parking, pedestrians or cycling, unless otherwise marked.

The city has provided the following tips for safe cycling and bike lane usage: Bike lanes are for cyclist use only, and are not for vehicle parking or pedestrian use, either of which could force cyclists to veer into traffic.

Cyclists using bike lanes should travel in the same direction as the vehicles travel next to it.

Sometimes, bike lanes may be between curbside parking and the lane of traffic. Drivers should watch for cyclists before opening their vehicle door or pulling into traffic.

Enderby tackles sustainability Morning Star Staff

The City of Enderby continues to move ahead with an aggressive process to plan for future growth.

Mayor Howie Cyr says the plan will create a sustainable community, economically, socially and environmentally.

“We have essentially looked at every segment of our comHowie Cyr munity,” he said.

“We want to be positioned to be sustainable for decades to come, so our scrutiny has been very broad.”

The process has been about examining

how the community does business, how it can attract new business and how it can do a better job of supporting those who already are here.

“This is by no means an easy task, but we have all been up for the task,” said Cyr. “In addition to the work we have done on this major project, funded by a gas tax grant, we have worked very hard to try and stay ahead of the curve when addressing infrastructure needs. Council and I have been supported by an outstanding crew at city hall, and through careful management of our fiscal resources, successfully applying for grants and ensuring we kept our reserves in a healthy state, we have managed to accomplish some very significant things.”

The most recent one has been securing

some $700,000 in grant money to assist in flood protection efforts.

“That will assist us in preventing flooding that has occurred in the downtown area and affected businesses and residences alike. Had we not placed funds in reserves to fulfill our contribution, this grant would not have occurred,” said Cyr. Cyr believes there is much to look forward to in the city as the economy continues to improve.

“In the near future you will see and hear of the results of our efforts to stimulate our community,” he said.

“We can be proud of the fact we have an excellent working relationship with all of our neighbours and collectively we recognize the importance of those relationships, in everything we do.”

Lake Country tax burden grows kevin parnell Black Press

An increase in the residential tax base over the past 10 years means individual taxpayers are footing more and more of the overall tax bill in Lake Country.

In 2014, 86.9 per cent of the total taxes collected by the District of Lake Country came from the residential tax base, an increase from a decade ago when 83.4 per cent of the district’s taxes came from residents.

“In general the tax base is worse than it was 10 years ago as growth in residential tax base has outpaced growth in the non-residential tax base,” stated a staff report to Lake Country council.

“The figure has been fairly stable for the past six years.”

District council adopted the 2014 tax rates bylaw at its meeting on May 6, confirming a 3.5 per cent

tax increase within the district.

The increase still leaves Lake Country with one of the lowest tax rates when compared to neighboring communities.

According to the report, only Summerland has a lower tax rate in 2013 than Lake Country which has the second lowest tax rate at 3.73 followed by Peachland, West Kelowna, Kelowna, Penticton, Coldstream, Salmon Arm and Vernon, who had the highest rate at 5.15 per cent.

YOU AND THE LAW HOW NOT TO HURT YOUR LEGAL CASE

By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. Sometimes you can be your own worst enemy – and ambulance personnel at the scene, and the even with a winning case – and it can cost you. hospital recorded he never lost consciousness, he Suppose you are a pedestrian crossing an also told one doctor that he became unconscious. intersection when the light is green for you. It is dark and rainy but the intersection is well lit. A driver of a car stopped at the intersection turns left into your marked crosswalk when the light turns green for her, and she hits you. Though you see the car coming and push off its hood, an eye witness says you are lifted up into the air some five to eight feet and land on the road about 10 feet away. The driver admits it is all her fault. An ambulance is called, the police come too, and you are rushed to hospital.

There is no question you should get compensation – so how could you damage your case?

One answer is: by exaggerating the accident and your injuries, telling different stories to different health professionals about what happened, not telling the truth about things like your employment history – in short, by destroying your credibility.

Various tests done at the hospital the night of the accident showed no broken bones or cuts, only blunt trauma and some bruises. His accident injuries were soft-tissue ones which healed over time. Neurological (brain) tests and doctors’ reports did not support any claims of concussion or post-traumatic stress disorder. And since so much of what Sean told his doctors was a huge stretch, the medical opinions based on that information were unreliable and nearly worthless.

Sean also told his doctors he could not go back to work (as it involved repeated lifting and bending) due to his car accident injuries. In fact, it turned out he had been fired from his job for persistent absenteeism, a problem he had already had at work for many years before the accident.

Sean claimed roughly one-half to one million dollars for a supposedly catastrophic accident. But he ended A recent case shows that, while Richard P. Barton up with $32,500 for pain and the court will still award you suffering, about $15,000 for past fair compensation for your wage loss and $3,000 for out-of actual injuries, losing your credibility can also pocket costs, for what the court considered a undermine your experts’ evidence. So the medical minor accident without significant injuries. evidence based on your misinformation will be And rather than reimbursing Sean for some of heavily discounted. his legal fees by awarding legal costs in his favour And even though you win, the court might award legal costs against you too, which could eat significantly into your compensation.

(as is normal for a winning claimant), the court left the question of such costs – substantial in a 12-day trial – open for later argument.

Here, Sean (name changed) told his doctors that he was thrown some 15 feet up into the air by the impact, and landed 30 to 40 feet away from the car that struck him. Though he spoke to the police

If you are involved in a car accident, promptly seek legal advice, and make sure you do not hurt your own case.

Restholm celebrates 50 years

want to keep up a house or they want the companionship,” said Tellier, a former officer in the Calgary City Police. “One of the advantages here is the location and another is because we’re just the right size. There’s a good atmosphere. Our staff members are here for the right reasons and we have some who have been here for up to 30 years, many for 20 years or getting close to it.

“And we have wonderful volunteers who help us with many activities and programs. We have had several residents who celebrated their 100th birthday here and the oldest was Sam Copeland who was 102 in 1976.”

There is a staff member on duty 24 hours a day and the society hopes to get a

van soon for outings.

“I really like it here. It’s helping people and hearing their stories. It’s the most enjoyable work I’ve ever done,” said Tellier.

There was one rough time. Around 1994 there was a shortage of intermediate health care in the area and Restholm took some residents with more costly health care needs. It seemed that it might have to close because of high costs but going back to its original purpose and a major fundraising campaign saved the society and the building.

Zoe Cundall has lived at Restholm for four years. There was never any doubt in her mind that she would move there when the time was right for her.

“I used to volunteer at Schubert Centre for 20 years and so many people from Restholm came over and they always said such nice things about this place and how happy they were — that the staff was congenial and they liked the other residents. I find that to be true,” she said.

“It’s the perfect place for me. I enjoy helping with the sing-alongs and the place is so homelike and the price is right. The yard and garden are fabulous and it’s so close to downtown but it’s quiet. It’s reassuring that someone is always here at night and the volunteers are so good to us. Oh, yes, and we’ve got really good cooks, the meals are excellent. I hope everyone comes to the tea May 28 to help us celebrate.”

Restholm invites the community to a complimentary birthday tea May 28 from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

ing around and had to be picked up.

Someone suggested putting bottles on top to weigh down the papers, but wait a minute, you cannot put glass bottles in the blue box or plastic foam packaging or plastic bags or overwrap etc. etc.

I urge all those who will be affected by the blue boxes to express their concerns to our premier, local MLA Eric Foster, and to call the Regional District and City Hall to urge them to discuss this issue and bring it to the attention of the provincial government. Phone numbers and addresses are in the phone book.

Now the good news! It is May and sunny and shining in our beautiful Okanagan when we once again reaffirm our brilliant decisions to be born or move here, a place inhabited for thousands of years before us by the aboriginal Okanagan people. Last week I attended the Expressions of Aboriginal People and Culture Week sponsored by the Aboriginal Education Department of School District #22 and it was inspiring. Mostly Grade 4 students, but some Grades 3 and 5 as well from all 14 elementary schools spent the day learning the history, practices, stories and philosophy of the Okanagan nation. Games and dancing were also on the agenda and played enthusiastically by the kids. What was inspiring was to see the curiosity and interest expressed and the enthusiasm of

the more than 980 kids that attended the four host schools over the four-day period along with elders from the Okanagan and other elders from all over Canada who now reside here.

Attitudes are the hardest things to change and a challenge that requires great perseverance and common sense. The latest figures in the household travel survey conducted by Acuere Consulting show a rise of merely .6 per cent of those who take transit, school bus, walking, cycling and other forms of transportation from 2007 to 2013 while the number of drivers has also increased from 69.4 per cent to 70 per cent.

The goal of the City’s Transportation Committee was to try to change public attitudes and increase walking, cycling and public transit and thereby decreasing automobile traffic, and a fair amount of money has been invested in this. However, changing attitudes is never easy and acknowledging reality is essential. Future demographics show the population at more than 35 per cent over 65 by the year 2038 so that reducing HandyDart or the Taxi Assistance services is futile as some older seniors or those with disabilities still cannot walk to the bus or their destinations after traveling by public transit, especially in winter. This will never change and as the population ages we must acknowledge this reality.

Guy P. Bagnall was a man ahead of his time and the community benefits from his vision more than 100 years after the Boer War veteran arrived in Vernon in 1906.

He was over 80 when he saw a need for affordable housing for local seniors and this year Vernon Restholm celebrates its 50th birthday.

“There was considerable discussion and some resistance but he persevered to get the city and province on board,” said Jerry Tellier, Vernon Restholm Association manager.

Bagnall found his first board members in 1960 and kept working to get the provincial government to fund one-third of the land cost and the City of Vernon to give $35,000 toward construction which cost $250,000. The Vernon Restholm Society was and remains a non-profit society with no government assistance.

Funding comes from rentals, community donations and fund raising.

The cost for the first 11 residents was $125 per month for room and meals.

There are now 50 residents in 47 rooms (three couples’ suites) with the cost of $1,085 (some residents get government rental supplement, depending on circumstances) for room and meals, personal needs extra.

“We know we’re doing something right because the waiting list is six to 18 months and people stay until they need more care, everyone here is independent, some have cars. They come because they don’t

Blue box fiasco continues

irst the bad news! The blue box fiasco seems to be progressing despite facts, common sense, protests and the will of the people. Please let us remember who put this insane piece of action in place when the next election is called.

Apparently, according to the Regional District of the North Okanagan, there is no backing away from Multi Material BC which has been mandated by the provincial government to take over residential recycling services from Pat Black local jurisdictions.

Despite this authoritarian decree from the province, in my opinion, there is still a role to be played by RDNO and City of Vernon Council. If a number of citizens of this city and Greater Vernon are being excluded from this new recycling program because of age or physical abilities it becomes the concern of all our elected officials to voice the issue and seek a better solution.

There is no doubt that the new system will destroy years of recycling practices and all the material will end up at the dump. Years ago when I lived in Ontario we used these blue boxes, and papers and other material were always blow-

Cathi Litzenberger Morning Star Columnist

We’re well into the May long weekend, and for many this is the time to start using our barbecues for cooking almost everything from steaks, burgers, chicken, to roasts of all kinds, to any vegetables of your liking.

Today’s recipes offer some nice changes from the same old, same old. This would be a great time to experiment with smoke cooking, and if you’ve never tried this, a pork shoulder or butt is ideal to start experimenting with this type of cooking.

The pulled pork recipe below is made from a big chunk of meat that is a lot more forgiving to beginners than other meats and you can be successful on practically any grill with a lid. It is a delicious change for everyone.

Asparagus and halibut are in season right now and we have two excellent taco recipes that have a wonderful blend of flavours. The halibut lends a buttery flavour to the natural bitterness of the radicchio, while rounded out by the creaminess of the avocado. If radicchio offers too much of an edge, try substituting this ingredient with red cabbage.

Lightly grilled asparagus spears are smothered with chunky tomato salsa, topped with cotija cheese, and nestled in a warmed whole grain tortilla.

Barbecued Pulled Pork 1 boneless pork butt ( 4-5 lbs) 5-6 cups of favourite wood chips for smoking, well-soaked in water Santa Maria Rub 1 Tbsp. salt 1 Tbsp. finely ground black pepper 1 Tbsp. garlic powder 1 Tbsp. onion powder 1 teaspoon cayenne 1 Tbsp. dried oregano 1 tsp. dry rosemary (or fresh, finely minced) 1/2 teaspoon dry sage 1/4 teaspoon sugar Finishing Sauce: 1- 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup hot water 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 tablespoon paprika 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cayenne 1 tablespoon black pepper 1 teaspoon cayenne, ground or to taste

If you’re new to grilling, pulled pork makes an easy-to-cook introduction to the barbecue.

In a small mixing bowl, combine all the rub ingredients.

Coat pork butt with seasonings and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 8 to 24 hours.

Preheat half the grill for medium heat.

Place foil pan with about a third of the drained wet chips over the heat. Place pork butt on grill away from the direct heat; close the lid and allow it to smoke. Add wood chips as necessary until all used up. Keep temperature at medium, or between 200 225 degrees F. Smoke pork for 5-6 hours or until internal temperatures reach 185 degrees F. Use baste every 20 minutes during last few hours of cooking. Remember to boil any remaining basting sauce before using it on shredded pork (health reasons).

When pork reaches internal temperature of 165 to 170 degrees F on instant read meat thermometer (after about 4 to 5 hours), remove it from grill and double-wrap in foil to keep juices from leaking out. Return pork to the grill (indirect heated side).

The pork is finished cooking when it pulls apart easily and reaches an internal temperature of 190 to 195 degrees F, about another 1 to 2 hours.

Let rest for 1 hour, then unwrap the pork

butt and “pull” the pork by hand or using two forks, shredding it and discarding any large pieces of fat.

Serve with any remaining boiled basting sauce, and/or your favourite BBQ sauce, in a toasted bun. Coleslaw is excellent with this.

Halibut Tacos with Spicy Radicchio-Avocado Slaw 2 pounds halibut fish filets 12-16 corn tortillas For marinade: 1/3 cup oil Juice of 1 lime 1-2 cloves garlic, minced 2 teaspoons honey 2 teaspoons cumin 2 teaspoons chili powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper For slaw: 1 head of radicchio, core removed and chopped into strips 1 avocado, pit removed and chopped into cubes Juice from 1 lemon 1/3 cup cilantro leaves, chopped 1 large red jalapeno, seeded and chopped 1/3 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup olive oil 1 tbsp. chipotle in adobo sauce, puréed 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar Pinch of salt and black pepper Combine marinade in small bowl. Place halibut filets in resealable plastic bag and pour marinade over top. Seal bag and place into refrigerator for 30-40 minutes.

While fish is marinating, prepare slaw. In large bowl, combine mayonnaise, oil, cider vinegar and chipotle in adobo purée. Once combined, add radicchio, jalapeno, cilantro, salt and pepper.

In a small bowl mix chopped avocado with lemon juice; do not add chopped avocado at this point. Cover bowls with plastic wrap and store in the fridge until ready to use.

Preheat grill to medium heat. Remove filets and place flesh side down onto oiled grill grate. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear. Using spatula, carefully work fish away from grill grate and turn over on other side. Continue cooking for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

Toward the end of cook time, warm the corn tortillas on the grill, about 1 minute per side.

Once the fish has cooked, remove from the grill and place into a large baking sheet.

Add chopped avocado to slaw.

To assemble, simply place 1/4 cup of slaw and desired amount of fish to each tortilla.

Fold and enjoy.

Grilled Asparagus Tacos 16 asparagus spears, ends trimmed 4 whole grain tortillas, warmed Sea salt Coarse ground black pepper 1/2 cup chunky tomato salsa 1/3 cup Cotija cheese, shredded Soak asparagus in cold water for 10 minutes.

Preheat grill for medium-high heat. Place asparagus spears on a hot grill and cook until they slightly soften and have good grill marks, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from grill.

Place 4 spears in warmed tortillas, sprinkle with salt and pepper and add a healthy dollop of salsa and top with Cotija cheese.

Note: Cotija is a sharp, salty white grating cheese that softens but doesn’t melt when heated. Look for it in Hispanic markets.

Substitutes: Parmesan, Romano, anejo or feta cheese.

Ticks are small, insect like creatures that can attach to your pet as they brush against plants, grasses or shrubs. Once they are on your pet they will travel to a warm location such as the ears, groin or under the legs. The tick then attaches itself to the skin and begins to draw blood. Tick bite paralysis is caused by a toxin in their saliva that is released when a tick bites. The toxin released by the tick travels into your pet’s nervous system which can paralyze their hind end.

An infestation of ticks is not necessary for this to occur, it takes just one tick to bite. Symptoms usually begin to occur around 5-7 days after a tick has attached itself. Once the tick is removed symptoms usually diminish rapidly. However in some cases, profound paralysis can develop.

There are measures you can take to help your pet.

Be sure to check your dog for ticks after a day spent outdoors. Pay special attention to the underside, inner-ears, neck. Remove any ticks that you find ensuring that the head of the tick is extracted as well.

Fortunately there are topical products available to prevent the chance of tick paralysis.

Phone us today for information on these products.

A chair that tells the story

e are opening up our cottage and as I do every year I assess what stays and what goes; I like to improve, adjust, change our cottage every year. Some years the changes or improvements are more dramatic than others, tweaking vs overhaul.

There is the “chair” — the green chair, captain’s chair, antique chair, storyof-my-life chair. It will stay this year like it does every year.

I bought the chair the first year I Michele Blais lived in Vernon. We rented a shop on 32nd Avenue and our landlord was an antique dealer. He was a nice man with a southern accent, from Georgia, who imported antiques. I love antiques and only those that I can use for daily living like tables, chairs, hutches, benches that are practical. I love that others dined at our tables. That their clothes and treasures filled the drawers and that they have sat in those seats. I especially love chairs. Furniture, not dishes or glassware, hold my interest, the marks on the

wood have a story and I love stories.

The design of the leg, the carvings, the details and pride in the craftsmanship are appealing and we often do not see that today in the mass-produced furniture of today. It could be an ornate detail or a clean simple line that is attractive.

My green chair is of the old style captain’s variety, with stuffing made of horse hair I am sure. We bought it when I was pregnant with our first child. It was the goto chair for nursing, storytelling, relaxing.

It is a chair that you can swing your legs over easily, the type of chair Santa would be comfortable in. It was a favourite seat in our den, often piled high with big cushions when the lads were younger to give them a different perspective on the world.

This was where we sat to share the events of our day, funny stories and sad stories. Where I heard about troubles, joys and adventures, or where we go when we needed to “talk.” With some families it might be the couch, dining or kitchen table, or a big comfy bed. We have these spots in our home that are special.

The green chair has been in our home since the beginning of the “us” as a family.

Now at the lake it sits in the “great

room” in front of the wood stove and is still the chair that I like best. To read in, to stretch out comfortably with a foot stool to share conversations, enjoy the quiet and perhaps have a nap. Like a favourite blanket that has become a comfort, the chair is to me; it’s familiar.

Each year I consider having it upholstered and go and look for fabric, get a swatch, keep it on it for a week to get a feel for whether it will work, and I keep it the same. I still can’t seem to find the “right” fabric. For a woman who loves to change up the interior of our home I’ve decided this chair will not be changing.

I will keep the green velvet that is worn, shape a quilt around it or perhaps put a slip cover on it so that I can peek under and see the original, and meander down memory lane. It is not torn, just old.

Before it was with us, this chair was a comfortable place for other moms and dads and children to sit, read stories, share cuddles and conversations.

In a world where we replace and dispose of items so quickly I like to keep my old furniture that has stood the test of time: solid, still useful and adaptable, and for what it represents to me. Family, the past, present and the future.

and wheelchairs, and having a friend to sit with, prevent many from making the effort.”

So members of the Music & Worship Committee at Knox decided to do something about it.

Encouraging its own members to come and assist guests who will attend, Knox hopes to make this time of worship bring back some fond memories: singing oldstyle hymns, organ and piano duets, and even some fiddle music.

“We have been encouraging many of

the local retirement facilities to bring their residents, but it is important also, to let the wider Vernon community know they are invited.”

For all the reasons you may not come to church, on Wednesday come to Knox.

“Bring an elderly parent, relative, family friend or neighbour,” said Charlton.

Worship begins at 2 p.m., followed by fellowship and refreshments. Please call 250542-8613 for more details. Knox is just off Alexis Park Drive, at 3701-32nd. Ave.

Knox welcomes seniors to mid-week service Affectionately referred to as “Sunday morning worship on a Wednesday afternoon,” Knox Presbyterian Church invites seniors to a special mid-week, old-fashioned style worship service in their Sanctuary.

“Many seniors struggle to make it to church on Sunday mornings,” said Rev. Teresa Charlton, minister at Knox. “The lack of suitable transportation on weekends is a big stumbling block for many, but issues around medication, the need for walkers

“The three breeds have one thing in common — a commanding presence,” said Nancy Roman, one of the organizers. “They are lovely to watch and their manes and tails fly in the wind; they are beauty in action.”

This event also welcomes other horse breeds in various sizes to participate, including miniatures, ponies, quarter horses, paint horses, Appaloosas, maybe a draft horse, a mule or donkey. Watch them all compete in Halter classes, Showmanship, Driving, English and Western Performance classes, Trail course, Leadline, Green horse/rider, and gymkhana games.

The show starts at 9 a.m. and runs all day.

Admission is free and everyone is invited to come by and watch the horses compete and play. There is a food concession on site and the majority of events are in the Agriplex under cover; the trail and gymkhana are outdoors.

Asparagus theatre heads to the Old West Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Take a play written in 1660s’ France, keep the lead character, a grumpy guy obsessed with wealth, add a western musical aspect, and you have Asparagus Community Theatre’s new production, Gold Dust.

A very loose musical adaptation of Moliere’s The Miser, Gold Dust is described as a twisted story of family, love and small-town intrigue.

It unfolds in an 1850s’ western mining camp saloon, where prospector Jebediah (played by one of ACT’s founders George Young) obsesses over his money after staking it rich with a gold claim.

“It’s a satire and a farce with a fast-moving plot,” said director Mandy Penner. “There’s a barroom brawl. Family and close friends will have to come twice just to see the brawl. There’s so much going on. We put in every gag in the book.”

A familiar face, having acted in numerous Asparagus productions, Penner says it’s been a seamless transition moving from the stage into the director’s chair.

Gold Dust is her directing debut.

“I’ve been directed so many times, I already had a feeling for it,” she said. “It’s a test in communication. You have to be clear about what you want, but what they do is awesome because it is 100 per cent.”

Also on the artistic commit-

tee with Asparagus’ board, Penner says Gold Dust came up to the surface from a whole bunch of plays on the table. “(Cast member) Laurisa DeFehr was in the play while in high school in the ‘80s. She always wanted the role of Diamond Lil. She was so keen. I made her audition, but I gave her the role,” laughed Penner.

“Family and close friends will have to come twice just to see the brawl.”

— Mandy Penner

Besides Young and DeFehr, who is playing the town’s madam described as “more popular than a turnip in a pig-pen,” eight other actors make up the cast.

Madison Reynolds and Nathan Domarchuk-White play Jebediah’s children, who have their own ideas for their father’s nest egg, while Phelan Gotto, Paul KirkwoodHackett, Jeunesse Pearson and Kaila Sinclair play the townspeople.

Mark Trussell, who acted as the lead character in Ned Durango Comes to Big Oak last year, takes on three roles, as a bartender, chef and townsperson LaFlesche.

“He is changing hats literally,” said Penner. “We wrote music especially for him so he would

have time to get his clothing changed.”

Pearson, who is from Vernon and is new to the Armstrong stage, also has three roles, one as a saloon girl. She is also the only actor in gender role reversal, playing two male characters.

“There’s a couple of new people who have never done theatre before. The whole point of community theatre is to work with every talent level,” said Penner.

“Those with lots of experience and those with no experience meet in the middle and everyone works together.”

Penner’s stage experience has also been beneficial as she is able to show her cast what she wants them to do.

“I am finding that really helpful. We don’t waste time that way.

I know this theatre inside and out for spacing and blocking,” she said.

However, both the barroom brawl and a duel provided a bit of a challenge because of the choreography.

“I’m not a dancer and the word choreography was the scariest.

After we blocked the songs, it was less scary,” said Penner.

Julie Dorsey, who is doing one of her last shows with Asparagus as she is moving to Lake Country, brings Gold Dust’s music to life as musical director and as pianist, while Kim Sinclair accompanies on guitar.

“The music is not traditional saloon music in terms of having just a piano player. There’s gui-

There’s a couple of love ballads that are beautiful songs. And during the bar brawl, they’re singing the whole time,” said Penner.

Local antique collector and proprietor Allen Bensmiller worked on the set design and is providing a 19th century English bar he purchased to the set, while his brother, George Bensmiller, hollowed out an 1875 piano donated from the Hullcar Hall to fit an amplifier and keyboard inside.

“It’s nice that every show in the future will have this beautiful piano,” said Penner, adding the saloon singer, played by Reynolds,

performs a song where the piano emits an unusual sound.

“It’s this weird synthesized sound, which is a shock to hear coming out of an old piano.”

As the play is set in the wild, wild west, Gold Dust also features some “fake” gun shots, and has one swear word.

“It’s not really a kids’ show, but that’s not saying that youth wouldn’t get it,” said Penner.

Gold Dust runs at the Centennial Theatre in Armstrong May 28 to 31 and June 4 to 7 at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at The Guy Next Door, located at 3450A Okanagan St. in Armstrong or reserve by phone at (250) 546 0950.

He’s going to show his techniques,” she said.

The event is open to the public, however, those wishing to sample the food and beverages will need to purchase a ticket.

“We’re going to have food tasting, along with beer from Okanagan Spring and a couple of wineries and a distillery as well,” said Gunner.

Local snaps winning photo Morning Star Staff

A photo of stink bug eggs has earned a Vernon resident recognition in a nationallyrun photo contest.

Carol James’ photo earned her a runnerup placing in the upclose category of the 2013 Canadian Wildlife Photography of the Year contest, organized by Canadian Geographic magazine in partnership with the Canadian Museum of Nature.

James shot the photograph, Growth @ a Snail’s Pace, showing pinhead-sized stinkbug eggs nesting on a blade of grass, with a Canon EOS Rebel, using a 90-millimetre lens.

The photo is among other winners in the contest currently being exhibited at the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa now until Sept. 1.

“Through our partnerships with esteemed organizations such as Canadian Geographic, we expand our reach to Canadians, providing further insight into the complexity, diversity and wonders of the natural world,” said Meg Beckel, president and CEO of the museum.

“This exhibition is a delightful way for people of all ages to enjoy a window on the beauty and value of wildlife. This inspiration is evident in the range of colours, subjects and situations that caught the keen eye of the photographers.”

Winners, runnersup, and honourable mentions were selected from thousands of entries submitted to Canadian Geographic.

A colour version of James’ photo and the other winning entries can be seen on the

Canadian Geographic website at http:// wpy13.canadiangeographic.ca.

Live Well

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist CHRIS SHIDELER

Men with erection problems are best advised to talk to their doctor for advice. The many “cures” found on-line and in magazines are not based on scientific evidence and are a waste of money.

Massive polio vaccination projects in India have resulted in no new cases of polio in the past three years. Through the efforts of the UN, The Bill and Amanda Gates Foundation, Rotary Clubs around the world and others, have helped achieved the marvellous goal. In neighbouring Pakistan, there is much resistance to the vaccine and polio is still infecting and disabling many children in that country.

Hookah-smoking is the practice of smoking by drawing the smoke through water before inhaling.

It sounds like it should be a safer alternative to smoking cigarettes but it is not. Even after passing through water, the smoke still contains high levels of toxic agents that could cause bladder, lung and oral cancers.

Some medications can slow down our intestinal tract and we could experience some constipation. One easy, natural way to counteract this problem is to eat a few dried apricots. Four or five per day should help. Be careful not to “overdose” because it could cause the reverse problem.

As part of our pharmacists’ duties when dispensing a new prescription to you, we’ll let you know of side effects the drug may cause. It’s all part of our professional pharmacy service package.

Grocers shoot down GM apples Morning Starr Staff

A large number of B.C. retailers of fresh produce have committed not to sell genetically modified apples if approved for sale in Canada.

This commitment from 20 retailers, including Vernon-based Nature’s Fare, comes as a result of a letter the Health Action Network Society (HANS) mailed to B.C. grocery stores and fresh-produce retailers.

“Nature’s Fare has made a commitment to our staff and customers to carry only certified organic produce, which means that none of our produce can be genetically modified,” said Alexa Monahan, with Nature’s Fare.

“Further to that, our customers have made it clear that they are vehemently opposed to the Arctic apple, and that they would not purchase it in our store or from other retailers.

The HANS letter was mailed to most produce retailers in B.C. and

Vernon-based Nature’s Fare has agreed not to sell genetically modified apples. it requested the stores make a commitment in writing not to purchase or sell the Arctic apple, which is genetically modified not to brown as quickly as the current crop of commercially available apples.

“Our membership and thousands

of other Canadians are very concerned about the possibility of GM apples being sold in their local stores,” said Michael Volker, HANS director of operations.

“Even back in 2012, 69 per cent of polled Canadians didn’t want the GM

apple. This is why we took the initiative to contact retailers and ask them to honour the wishes of consumers.”

The B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association, which is made up of both organic and conventional growers, officially opposes the genetically modified apple.

The BCFGA has previously stated that contamination from GM apples could threaten the future of organic apples and the export market for B.C. apples around the world.

“We believe this will cause confusion for customers, because it is extremely unlikely a label will alert consumers to the fact that the apple is genetically modified,” said Volker.

“We are committed to continuing to contact retailers and grocers of fresh produce with the hope and expectation that this list will grow to reflect British Columbians’ demands for non-GMO apples in the marketplace.”

Craftsman Collision is continuing with its expansion in B.C. The company will opens its 30th shop at 27th Street and 35th Avenue, the old Walthers property in Vernon, June 2.

The facility will be 11,000 square feet in size.

“We are pleased to have established this additional location as it will help us better serve our customers in the Okanagan and central BC,” said Rick Hatswell, chief operating officer.

“This newest location joins three other shops in Kelowna, West Kelowna and Kamloops.

It greatly enhances our regional concentration by strengthening our brand awareness and increasing market share through repeat traffic and referrals. This location is well situated on a property shared with two well-recognized brands; Tim Hortons and Co-op Gas and Food Bar, which will enhance our profile to current and prospective customers.”

Shop manager Mike Mason is a long-time resident of Vernon and he has worked in the automotive sector since 1979, first as a bodyman, then as an estimator for ICBC, where he spent 13 years.

He has also managed and owned his own body shops for 16 years.

“He has a highly qualified team behind him consisting of auto body repairers, painters and technicians,” said Hatswell.

A local law firm has rallied behind an organization that helps individuals with developmental disabilities.

Davidson Lawyers has donated 12 refurbished computers to the Kindale Development Association for use in the office and training situations.

“We are very excited to receive these computers,” said Cindy Masters, Kindale development officer.

“The donation of these computers significantly upgraded our capacity at Mainstreet Connections, allowing more than 30 individuals access to e-mail, social media, help with their

job search and so much more.”

The computers were part of a group of almost 40 units refurbished

by Davidson and presented to 18 different community groups throughout the North Okanagan.

“Like most major firms, we replace computers every three years, and this time we sat down with staff to seek more creative ways of passing them on,” said Jay Hack, Davidson managing partner.

“We’re pleased and excited that Kindale has been able to put the computers to such terrific use in the community.”

cial goals, you should discuss your spending habits and attitudes towards money. If there are major differences, determine how they will be resolved – before you get married. It can also be helpful to develop a budget together as a couple, which can help you assess where your money is going, spot any problem areas, and keep you on track to achieving your longterm goals.

Single or joint accounts – Couples often have trouble deciding whether

they should pool their money together or keep separate accounts. Joint accounts will prove handy for taking care of shared expenses, like the rent or mortgage, even just the groceries.

Even so, many experts recommend that each spouse maintain a separate account in his or her own name to have their own spending money and maintain some independence.

Sharing credit cards – Some experts don’t recommend that couples share credit cards, however, it is often more practical to track expenses on one card.

Having separate credit cards, in addition to a joint one, enables both partners to continue to maintain their independent credit rating.

Marriage contracts (pre-nuptual agreements) – With so many individuals getting married at a later stage in their professional lives, many couples

come into the marriage as more established individuals with a larger asset base that they may wish to protect. While negotiating a prenup can be trying, it can also be an opportunity for couples to examine how they expect to manage their financial affairs, to make appropriate financial plans, and to ensure that they are on the same page. It can also save future heartache.

Retirement – Each spouse should consider a strategy to build up their registered retirement portfolio.

Ultimately you will be sharing in the retirement income that you both accumulate, so it is important that you both take the time to discuss how you wish to approach this and take advantage of any tax advantages or income-splitting opportunities along the way.

Think about insurance – Everyone who enjoys good health hopes it will last for a lifetime. But sometimes life throws a curve.

While insurance can’t prevent that from happening, it can help you cope. It is important that you analyze your situation and answer questions such as: How much insurance do I need? Which family members or business partners should be insured? What type of life insurance is best?

Making Maui memories jamie ross Special To The Morning Star

HAWAII - “Why not just sit down?”

I thought it was a reasonable question, but it created quite a stir. The other people taking the lesson with me stopped and stared.

I was attempting to master Stand Up Paddle Boarding – a dad trying to keep up with his active children in Maui – but no sooner had I uttered my inane remark then my board slid forward from under me. I landed on my back with an exhalation of air, and then slowly rolled into the ocean.

My sympathetic family cheered me on.

I pulled myself from the water, raised my body unsteadily, smiled meekly at the instructor, and then fell forward toward the bow of the board, tumbling once more into the salty surf, with my mouth half open in a subdued screech.

I surfaced sputtering and coughing.

“Whenever you’re ready,” said the petite instructress sarcastically. I clambered apprehensively to a standing position and tried in vain to maintain my balance. She was showing the group the proper paddling technique, while I wobbled back and forth creating my own waves.

I attempted a paddle stroke, missed the ocean all together, fell side-

ways, and, in doing so, sent my board bouncing across the surface of the aqua waters like a flat skipping stone. It sliced the feet out from under the instructor, sending her and her fancy Lycra paddling suit into the sea. My lesson was over.

While I sat on the beach in shame, my family grabbed the big boards and joined in.

In no time at all, my well-balanced wife and our four keiki had mastered this new sport, paddling out on the distant swells, and then back in with relative ease.

They spun the boards around their paddles, and were soon trying to ride the breaking waves near shore.

Maui is known for its laid-back island culture. For the romance and relaxation Hawaii’s second largest island offered, my wife and I had made it our hon-

eymoon destination exactly 20 years ago.

We had enjoyed sunset strolls, sandy beaches, and evening luaus.

We had ventured up Haleakala for sunrise, and had driven the Hana Road, stopping often on route to swim in jungle pools.

Now, for whatever reason, we had thought it prudent to return with our four children, the relaxing vacation was no more – sunset strolls and picturesque drives were boring.

Maui was a place for activity and fun.

Our days are filled with jungle treks, snorkelling, scuba diving, horse riding, sailing, ziplining, surfing and wave riding.

Horse Riding: Sitting on a horse is much easier than standing on a surf board.

Since the late 1800s, horseback-riding paniolo have been wrangling cattle in Maui’s wideopen upland fields.

I somewhat redeem myself on a family horseback riding excursion at the Piiholo Ranch in Makawao. I don’t fall off my steed, and stay dry while enjoying sweeping views down to the sea.

Zip lining: I don’t know why I do this to myself; I guess it’s just family pressure, but here I am hanging from a cable in a nylon harness zipping along at 60 kilometres an hour, some 300 metres above

a lush tropical canyon at Piiholo Ranch.

Rain Forest Hike: This sounded romantic, a rainforest trek into some picturesque waterfalls, until my family had me jumping off ten metre cliffs into jungle pools.

Outrigger Canoeing – I’m dating myself, but I did annoy my kids when I kept breaking into the old Hawaii Five-O theme music as we paddled our eightman outrigger canoe in on the swells. It is a fun and traditional Hawaiian activity, and free to do.

Scuba Diving: My

wife and I are licenced divers, but during an exciting sailing trip aboard the luxurious Alii Nui, the whole family gets to dive to 30 feet, swimming with a flock of sea turtles.

My family has decided visiting Maui should become a tradition.

Memories are built around its island culture, legendary sunsets and tropical storms, as well as its actionpacked beaches and water sports; including surfing and the new rage - stand up paddle boarding.

C HECK I T O UT AT B OOKLAND MANBQUE ManBQue is the next griller’s Bible for those in their 20s and 30s. Dedicated to meat, beer, and rock n’ roll, it starts with the basics: how to grind, assemble, and grill a perfect burger and how to season, sear, and rest a perfect strip steak. Then it moves on to other staples-perfectly cooked wings, slow-roasted BBQ, and handmade sausages. There are also suggestions for monster sandwiches and mouthwatering tacos. Once you’ve got that under control, it takes on all the weird stuff: the pig tongue and beef hearts, snails and, yes, even salad.

Bridge by Phillip Alder USING TRUMP SUITS TO MAKE CONTRACTS As regular readers know, I do a lot of bridge teaching. In the summer, I travel around the country running “bridge camps without tents.” They usually last three days, but I did one for only two days in Birmingham, Ala., in October. In the winter, I teach in Florida and my car gets almost as good a workout as I do.

The first lesson I taught this season in Florida, early last month, featured deals in which declarer had to handle the trump suit with care. This week, let’s look at

six of them.

First, how should South try to make four spades after West takes the first three tricks with his high clubs, then shifts to a heart?

In the auction, South might rebid three no-trump, which works well here as long as North takes a spade finesse. And, yes, South might initially respond two spades, a strong jump shift showing 13-16 highcard points and either an excellent one-suiter or a good two-suiter with length in both responder’s suit and opener’s suit.

South, who needs the rest

of the tricks, must draw trumps without loss. With eight cards missing only the queen, declarer should finesse, not play for the drop -- “eight ever.” But should he finesse immediately, or only after first cashing the ace?

Anna DuMont

With her husband Paul by her side, Anna peacefully passed away at her home on May 14, 2014.

She was born to Johann and Eva Krumenacker in Betschkerek Yugoslavia on October 5, 1924, spent the war years in Italy, and as a refugee entered Canada at Halifax on December 20, 1948. The train took her to BC where she met the son of her Employers, Mark and Elizabeth DuMont. Anna married Paul DuMont 64 years ago in Vancouver. Together with the DuMont families they owned and operated Sawmills and logging operaƟons from the Kootenays to Terrace, ending up in Vernon in the sixƟes.

Their love of the outdoors led to the purchase of two Arabian horses for riding in the hills above Vernon. That led to the raising of thoroughbred race horses and purebred polled Hereford caƩle.

The horses included a grandson of “Northern Dancer”, and winners on racetracks from Vancouver to California’s Santa Anita. What a ride!

Anna leaves behind wonderful memories to her extended DuMont family, her Sister’s children, and friends throughout BC. Prayers will be held at Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church, May 19 at 7PM and a Funeral Mass will be celebrated, with Reverend Dale Normandau celebrant, at Our Lady of the Valley on Tuesday, May 20, 2014 at 2PM.
