Full-scale teachers’ strike underway JENNIFER SMITH/RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Both sides in B.C.’s education system are looking for middle ground before this week’s strike becomes permanently entrenched. Full-scale action resulted in pickets going up around schools in the Vernon and North OkanaganShuswap districts Tuesday. That move by the B.C. Teachers Federation came after weekend talks with the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association stalled. “We were quite optimistic Friday there would be an agreement over the weekend,” said Joe Rogers, Vernon School District superintendent. “We’re still hoping it can be settled by the end of the month so we can start in September with a collective agreement.” On Monday, hundreds of teachers marched along Vernon’s 32nd Street, trying to rally support from passing motorists. “They are solid, united in their efforts to get a fair deal for teachers and better supports for our kids,” said Heather Malcolm, Vernon Teachers Association president, of her members. “I was very hopeful that negotiations would go well over the weekend, I was very hopeful they would have reached a settlement. But the government didn’t come to the table with a mood to negotiate so now I’m still cautiously optimistic.” Classes have been brought to

(in the Vernon district) as the entry and exit for exams so there will be no pickets,” said Rogers. “High school busing will be available on the normal route so students can go to exams.” Administrators will oversee the

exams and mark some of them, while other exams will be marked at a central location in Vancouver. Grade 12 students will also receive final report cards so they have transcripts for college and university, but there will not be

report cards for kindergarten to Grade 11 students until the strike is over. Similar activities are occurring in the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District. “Our focus at this time is to ensure that the things that are permissible to go ahead for our students during this labour dispute go as well as possible,” said superintendent Glenn Borthistle of provincial exams and grad ceremonies. “We continue to hope that there will be a negotiated agreement to resolve this provincial dispute before the end of the school year.” At Kidston Elementary, the Grade 7 graduation ceremony proceeded Tuesday despite the strike. “The school can’t do it so the parents have taken it on,” said Jeanette Lakusta, whose granddaughter is graduating. “It’s really something how the parents have taken it on to do this.” The Grade 7 students also had a three-day trip to Eagle Bay planned but the money was being administered by the school so it couldn’t be accessed. “The disappointment in our kids eyes was horrible,” said Nicole Bush, a local parent. But the trip is still a go thanks to a generous donation from a parent. “We are making it happen,” said Bush. “With or without a teachers strike.”

River conditions plague missing person case ROGER KNOX

Extreme water hazards are hampering what has become a North Okanagan missing person investigation. Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP officers were called Saturday at 8:05 p.m. to the area of the Shuswap River bridge on Mabel Lake Road near Lumby. “A witness told our officers a pickup drove off the road and went into the Shuswap River,” said RCMP spokesperson

Grads cherish memories T Lisa VanderVeLde

Morning Star Staff

heir plans after graduation have them scattered across the country. But in a quiet moment before their graduation festivities begin, the tightknit A.L. Fortune grad students sit together writing messages in each other’s yearbooks, fixing a necklace, straightening a tie. It is clear that A.L. Fortune’s 2014 graduation class of 51 students is savouring their final hours together. “It’s a small school so everyone knows everyone. We are all very close,” said graduate Tiffani Furlong. Friday night’s events started with a class photo followed by Enderby’s annual grad parade. Students in sharp-looking tuxes and long-flowing gowns perched in the back of convertibles and trucks, waved out windows to their families and friends as they made their way down the streets of Enderby. “It is sad because we are going to miss everyone, but exciting because we are starting a new adventure,” said Furlong. One of her favourite high school moments started as another graduation tradition. “Our grad sleep-over was probably one of the best memories I will have,” said Furlong. “It is a tradition, we camp out the night before the first day of school.”

Lumby council reveals wages RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Government costs in Lumby have been made public. The 2013 annual report shows that $64,796 was spent on council remuneration and expenses while a total of $1.1 million went to village employees. “We kept it low and went to just those things that we needed to do,” said Mayor Kevin Acton of attending the Union of B.C. Lori Mindnich Municipalities conference and other conventions. Acton earned a salary of $13,032 last year while he had expenses of $5,603. Each councillor had $6,904 in remuneration while expenses were $4,554 for Jo Anne Fisher, $3,653 for Nick Hodge, $5,411 for Lori Mindnich and $4,834 for Randal Ostafichuk. “I went to both UBCM and the Southern Interior Local Government Association (conference) and there were Okanagan Regional Library meetings,”

said Mindnich of her expenses. For Mindnich, it’s important the village be represented at conferences because sessions with provincial officials may lead to infrastructure grants. “You can bring forward issues the community wants brought forward. It helps put pressure on the government about small communities,” she said. Acton defends the base salary for council. “Just the reading and studying of issues consumes more than the pay level,” he said, adding that councillors liaise with community groups for free. In terms of staff and the $1.1 million payroll, there were just two employees who earned more than $75,000 in 2013. Tom Kadla, chief administrative officer, had $105,542 in remuneration and $12,273 in expenses. Roger Huston, now former operations director, was paid $92,001 and he had expenses of $4,498. “Through our staff, we generate a lot of revenue through ICBC (contract services) and the community forest,” said Acton. “The average citizen is enjoying a well-staffed office and public works department without putting much in taxes in.”

Do It For Dad participants raise $33,372 roger knox Morning Star Staff

Recovering from prostate cancer surgery in 2013, Vernon’s Murray Neilson couldn’t participate in the Do It For Dad Run and Walk. Neilson was at the start line Sunday to walk three kilometres in the 15th annual event at Coldstream Ranch, presented by Interior Savings Credit Union, which raised $33,372 for prostate cancer treatment and awareness throughout the North Okanagan. “I’ve been monitoring my PSA (prostatespecific antigen) for 14 years and it was steadily going up and up,” said Neilson, a former Tolko employee. “They did a biopsy, I had cancer. I elected to have it removed, it was successful and I’m as happy as I can be.”

Don’t Let Your Windows Leave You In A Fog Dirty Foggy Windows

Many homes built between the late 70s and the early 90s experience sealed unit failure. Unit failure leads to condensation forming between the two layers of glass causing them to steam and fog up.

Is There a Solution?

Yes, the only real solution is to replace the sealed unit. You only need to replace the glass not the frame which means it can be done easily with a minimum amount of disruption.

take part, that’s why I’m here,” said Neilson. “I’m happy to see all of the people here supporting the event. I go to the (Vernon Prostate Cancer Support and Awareness) support group as often as I can.

They’re a great group of guys.” More than 300 participants, volunteers and sponsors took part in Sunday’s event, including Rose Ryan, visiting from Ponoka, Alta. where she sells products such as rhinestone jackets and western bling at area farmers’ markets. Ryan was recruited by her friend, Barb Dyck. “She phoned me, said ‘we’re doing this walk’, be here,” laughed Ryan. “I think this event is awesome. It’s a very good thing.” For Dyck, an employee at the Lumby Health Centre, the event is dear to everyone she works with. “We utilize the vouchers for prostate cancer screening so this has inspired me to take part,” said Dyck. “It’s my first time and I wanted to get involved.” The top individual fundraiser was longtime participant Marnie MacKenzie, who col-

lected a total of $3,065 in pledges. The top fundraising team was Doreen’s T-Bags, who raised $5,100 in pledges in memory of last year’s individual fundraising winner, Doreen Hourie, who died in February. Funds raised stay locally in the North Okanagan communities. It was a family affair with this year’s race winners. Liam McGrath took first place in the men’s category. Tyler Rogers took second place, while Mike McGrath, Liam’s father, placed third overall. Of the female participants, a mother and daughter took the top two placements in the race. First place went to Bethany Proce, with her mother, Linda Proce, taking second place, while Suzanne Larose came in third. This year, funds raised from the ‘Do It For Dad Run/Walk’ will provide free pros-

tate-specific antigen (PSA) tests for North Okanagan men, as well as help purchase a ureteroscope for the treatment of prostate cancer at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “Every year we enlist the help of more than 40 volunteers, 12 event sponsors, 30 prize and entertainment sponsors and more than 300 participants, to make this happen for men in our community,” said Sue Beaudry, director of development for the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. “And every year, they do us proud.” Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among Canadian men, (excluding nonmelanoma skin cancers) and is the third leading cause of death from cancer in men in Canada. Since inception, the Do It For Dad’Run/ Walk has raised more than $321,000 for prostate cancer treatment and awareness in the North Okanagan.

Crews work on the form for the second floor of the $12 million community centre being constructed by the Splatsin First Nation, just outside of Enderby. The centre is expected to be open in the spring of 2015.

Maintaining relationships appears to be influencing spending at Enderby city hall. The 2013 annual report has been released and it shows $77,519 went towards council remuneration and expenses. “A lot of it is to do with our relationship with the Splatsin First Nation,” said Coun. Tundra Baird, who had $3,544 in expenses, partly because she was the city representative at First Nations conferences in Osoyoos and Chase. Tundra Baird “We’re leading the way as a community on how relationships (with First Nations) can work.” Baird also went to the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference in Vancouver to meet with provincial officials about infrastructure. “If you have that face-to-face time, you can find out things (grants) that are available and you can press issues,” she said. “You need to have that relationship if you want projects done.” Much of Baird’s expenses are related to mileage

as she will drive other councillors to meetings. She had a salary of $9,141. Mayor Howie Cyr had remuneration of $15,642 and expenses of $1,501 in 2013, while Coun. Brad Case had wages of $8,541 and expenses of $2,884. Coun. Raquel Knust’s remuneration was $8,301 with $3,198 in expenses, followed by salaries of $8,181 for Coun. Beryl Ludwig ($1,297 expenses), $7,641 for Coun. Greg McCune ($126 expenses) and $7,521 for Coun. Earl Shipmaker (no expenses). “There’s good value for the dollars provided. Council is working hard for the community,” said Cyr, adding that attending meetings and advance preparations take up considerable time. “There’s e-mails, phone calls and being out in the community.” Total remuneration and expenses for city staff in 2013 was $999,769. There was only one city employee who earned more than $70,000 — then-chief administrative officer Barry Gagnon at $100,450, with $3,504 in expenses. “For what our staff accomplish for the community day-to-day and through finding efficiencies, they are doing a heck of a job,” said Cyr. “It’s the cost of doing business and the community is getting excellent value from our staff.”

A step in the right direction

ome students may have been secretively relieved the teachers’ strike brought classes to a premature end. After all, it meant they wouldn’t spend the last few days before summer power-walking to meet the first bell because they are within 2.4 kilometres of their school and buses are no longer available in the cash-strapped Vernon School District. Now I can relate to the time crunch this will create. Imagine having to leave the house early and not having sufficient time to beautify yourself or enjoy a few extra minutes of sleep? But for others, walk-related anxiety may stem from having to exercise without clicking a remote in front of a TV screen, or being out of reach of Twitter for more than 15 seconds. According to the Childhood Obesity Foundation, only 15 per cent of Canadian children Richard Rolke in 1978 were overweight or obese. By 2007, 29 per cent of adolescents had unhealthy weights. “Most adolescents do not outgrow this problem and in fact, many continue to gain excess weight,” states the foundation’s website. The B.C. Medical Association indicates that 42 to 63 per cent of obese school-age children become obese adults. “Kids need at least 30 minutes of physical activity each day, and should aim for 90 minutes of daily physical activity for optimal growth and development,” says the BCMA. So instead of being a negative, the Vernon School District’s decision to enforce walk limits could be a small part of the puzzle towards improved health and shrinking those waste lines. Consider that a child living at the outer limit of the 2.4 kilometres could spend 30 to 40 minutes hoofing it each way daily. That will go a long ways towards the ultimate goal of 90

minutes. On top of this, a walk will allow our youth to breathe in some fresh air and perhaps interact with those around them instead of constantly texting. However, I suspect there will be some parents who simply replace the bus with the family car and drive their child to school. Obviously, we all want to protect our children and make life easier for them as days are busy with school and extra activities. But consider that many us had to walk when we were in school. It wasn’t the proverbial “six miles uphill in the snow with no shoes on,” but such an excursion provided us with exercise, camaraderie among friends and a sense of independence. Like many parents, I have struggled with encouraging kids to be active in this social media/technological era. So when I learned my teenaged daughter would lose her bus ride, I saw a silver lining in the district’s dark budget cloud. My only hesitation about the walk to school would be if I still had primary children. There is the threat of passing vehicles and we all know that small children dart around and their actions can be unpredictable. Many areas are without sidewalks or proper shoulders, so it’s less than ideal to allow a five or six-year-old to walk or ride their bike 2.4 kilometres alone to school. However, that doesn’t mean the only solution is for little Johnny or Sally to be put on the bus. If parents aren’t available, perhaps there is an older sibling that can chaperone them during the walk or they can buddy up with a neighbour kid. Some of my fondest memories as a kid were walking to school with an older gentleman who took the same route to work, or joking around and sharing stories with friends as we headed to class. Not only did I get good at juggling a gym bag and an instrument case on a bike, but wheels allowed me to discover the broader community. As hand-held gadgets make society more sedentary and more insular, walking to school could be a step in the right direction.

They say the key to good comedy is timing. The same could be said of labour action. The BC teachers strike, which began in full yesterday, is an example of questionable timing. It appears to be a gamble, that may not pay off. The strike is taking place at a time when students are normally preparing for final exams. This is a time when some children have the most need of a teacher’s help. Classes designed around reviewing the year’s curriculum will be lost and while the government has assured that exams will go on, you have to wonder if the students are properly prepared to take those tests. If the teachers were hoping that a mid-June strike would provide the needed pressure to bring a quick end to the dispute, they appear to be mistaken. On Monday talks collapsed between the two parties and the strike is on. Now comes the waiting game. With negotiations stalled and the school year winding down, the pressure to sign a new deal will soon evaporate. If the strike continues into July, why would either side feel the need to make concessions? What will result is two long months of speeches, saber-rattling and rhetoric as both sides claim to be fighting for a just cause. Worse is the fact that parents, and the general public, will begin to lose interest as normal summer vacation activities begin. With no pressure to make a deal, the strike could linger. Then comes September. There is no justifiable reason to let this strike continue into another school year. The time to make the deal is now, otherwise both sides can expect a long summer and possibly, a volatile autumn. Black Press

Safety improvements needed

n our block of 25th Street, live 12 children. Two of them are 11 and the rest are all under the age of eight. There are 10 seniors all who have grandchildren who come to visit. There are 10 dogs and at least eight cats who also live on our block. Most of us own our houses and chose to live on 25th Street because of the close proximity to town and to Beairsto Elementary so we could walk to shops and let our children walk or ride safely to school. Sadly this isn’t our reality. The amount of traffic and the speed that the cars travel down 25th Street make riding bikes treacherous. The lack of sidewalks makes walking dodgy. Every time we watch our kids walk out the door, we say a prayer that they will make it safely to school. It shouldn’t be like this. Twentyfifth street is not supposed to be a thoroughfare. By walking or riding to visit friends in the neighbourhood, parks and schools close by we maintain our health and stay happy and connected with our neighbours. Of the 35 houses on my bloc,k I can say I know at least 95 per cent of my neighbours. When we chat on the street, our main topic for the past five years has been, “How can

in response Wow, what a morning for letters in The Star. Three in a row that deserve some response. For Mark, it is hard to believe that you have been saved more than once from death or injury by not wearing a seatbelt. I think statistics would show that it is somewhere around one in 10,000 accidents that the seat belt might have contributed to injury. Your death won’t cost us much, but your injury costs all of us, who pay medicare and insurance premiums. For S., there is one thing for absolute certain. If marijuana kills cancer cells in the brain, it also kills any other kind of cells in the brain. Marijuana has not been proven as a selective destroyer of cancer cells. If it has been, then the final cure for cancer has been found. By the way, alcohol also kills brain cells, but I enjoy a little of that from time to time anyway. And my last for R.L., Canada spends far less per capita on public broadcasting than any of the other free countries in the world. It is public broadcasting which helps keep us free in mind, just as our military helps keep us free in body, and our faith — whatever that faith might be — helps keep us free in our spirit. Contrary to your suppo-

sition, the CBC is not a leftist plot, but is by far and away the most neutral voice in the land. It keeps me and other free-thinking people quite well informed on the political and social events of our nation and the world around us, as well as providing wholesome education and entertainment. It is the CBC which helps us to remain an independent country rather than becoming just another colony of the powerful country to the south of us. I am extremely suspicious of the motives of any political body that would destroy or even cripple our public broadcasting system. By the way, I have American friends who listen to CBC all of the time because they find it more informative than anything in their own nation. Greg Milne keep the cbc In reply to the letter to scrap the CBC, R.L. Shunter may think multiculturalism is hog-wash but the reality is that Canada is made up of people from many different cultures. And many Canadians, myself included, enjoy learning about our multi-faceted and unique Canadian experience. The CBC does a great job of

reflecting back to Canadians what we're all about. R.L. Shunter says, "Try listening to some of its programming, a total waste of time." That, I say, is your opinion only. I listen to CBC Radio and watch CBC TV every day and I find both entertaining and stimulating. The absence of advertising on CBC Radio is especially refreshing. Does anybody really enjoy the constant wall of advertising coming at us on commercial TV and radio? The CBC is already the third lowest funded broadcaster in the developed world. I encourage Canadians to join me in calling on the Harper government to stop these relentless cuts to our shared Canadian voice.

Almost every neighbour on our block is in favour of these changes, including the proposed traffic changes regarding no left-turns on to or out of 25th street. Of course there are some minor grumblings from a couple of people who don’t like change and can’t fathom adding a minute on to their commute in order to benefit our children and pets safety. I say to them, “change is not a loss, change is only change.” It takes only a short matter of time to get used to new routines. I was quite shocked to hear that there are a couple of councillors who are opposed to this simple and costeffective solution to improving the safety of 25th Street. We received a letter stating 66 per cent in favour was needed to push through these changes. We have those numbers so how is it that elected representatives have the ability to veto a majority vote? Let’s get 25th Street back to the way it once was. The kind of neighbourhood street where kids drag the hockey nets out and play. Once in awhile the kids yell, “Car," the nets get moved aside and the car goes by. “ Game on." Michelle Mitchell

and small children, dogs, cyclists, horseback riders, wildlife, propane trucks, cement trucks, dump trucks and delivery trucks, etc. It is common practice to have to back up to a wider spot to let oncoming traffic pass. There are a few areas that have been widened so vehicles can pass safely but we are finding more and more vehicles parked along these wider sections because of a dramatic increase in the use of the park. No one, no matter what your means of travel is, can feel at ease using Cosens Bay Road. We love the park, and it is wonderful to see families, horseback riders and cyclists enjoying it as well. They don’t have a choice but to use the road and we feel awful every time we pass a horse or a family because they have to get off the narrow road into the weeds, and then put up with the inevitable dust from our vehicle. One January evening, we were heading home from Vernon. The sunny day had melted the snow on the road, the water froze and the road was a sheet of ice. We turned around at the Cougar Canyon hikers' parking lot because the next corner has no barrier, slopes to the outside of the road and we feared sliding over the bank into Kalamalka

Lake hundreds of feet below. We returned to Vernon to find overnight accommodation until the road conditions improved enough to get home the next day. erik and Mary hauberg

The community is coming together to support the Canine Vision Dog Guide program. The Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guide’s Bowling in the Dark fundraiser will be held at Lincoln Lanes Saturday. “Through a blindfold or specialized glasses that mimic various eye diseases and disorders, each bowler experiences seeing and bowling through the eyes of someone who is visually impaired,” said Gail Pifer, with the Vernon Lions Club, which is organizing the event. “The Vernon Lions Club goal is to raise $5,000 for the Lions Foundation Dog Guide School.” For Pifer, the role of canine vision dog guides is personal as she and Tyrell became full-time partners in 2008 at the dog guide school in Oakville, Ont. “We are paying it forward to the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides so they may provide others with the independence, confidence and security of having a dog guide of their own,” she said. The major sponsors for the Vernon event are Vernon Veterinary Clinic and Petland. Registration takes place Saturday at 6:30 p.m., with bowling at 7 p.m. Residents can make up a team of six and register to play for $25 a person or each member can collect pledges to bowl. If a bowler receives $100 or more in pledges, their $25 registration fee will be waived. “We will have a silent auction, a 50/50 draw, toonie tosses and bowling game prizes,” said Pifer. For more information, go to www.dogguides.com or e-mail vernonlionsdogbowl@gmail.com.

Celebrities/artists ‘Rise’ for a cause Rise Community Association’s celebrity art auction is in support of new beds for Vernon Women’s Transition House Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Sonja Gaudet surveys the painting she has been working on with Lynne Gayan at the Vernon Community Arts Centre. On the canvas, a woman sits cross legged, her back facing the viewer, her outline drawn onto a colourful backdrop of the main chakra colours, or energy centres, of the body. “The colours of the different chakras are in order in relation to the woman’s figure,” explains Gaudet, who plans to paint the words breathe, balance and believe on her work of art. “They are three words that mean a lot to me. The balance down the woman’s back is most significant,” says Gaudet. As a multiple gold medal Paralympic curler, Gaudet is used to throwing stones and sweeping them in to hit the button. But lately, the world’s most decorated wheelchair curler has been using a different kind of brush to express not only something that is relative to herself, but to a cause that helps women and their children escape abusive and violent situations. Gaudet is one of a number of local celebrity artists who has been paired with a local artist to either paint a canvas, turn wood, sculpt clay, or use a camera to create a special piece of art that will be auctioned off at a fundraiser to support Vernon Women’s Transition House. Hosted by The Rise Community Association, money raised from the auction, to be held at Freddy’s Patio at The Rise Golf Club July 5, will go towards the purchase of new beds at Vernon’s Transition House, which provides a safe shelter, meals and emotional support for women and their children as they transition into their new lives free of violence. “It was decided last summer that the residents of The Rise community would not only support but host a fundraiser for a local Vernon charity,” said Rise resident and artist coordinator Jo-Ann Rasmussen. “Even though there are many worthwhile causes, we decided to put our efforts behind Women’s Transition House... with the goal

A familiar voice on local radio station Kiss FM, Frank Martina has been working with wood-turner Bob Coombes at the VCAC to create a functional piece of art that will be signed by its creator. “We are creating a pepper mill that started as a block of wood,” said Martina. “It wasn’t until I ran across Bob that I knew what a lathe was.” The Morning Star’s very own sports editor Kevin Mitchell is also learning to stick handle a paintbrush, working with artist Lorraine Betts on a painting showing hockey players from the recent RBC Memorial Cup held in Vernon. “I told Lorraine I am the worst Pictionary player on the planet,” said Mitchell, who only

got through high school art with the help of his gal pals. “I can barely trace a circle, but with Lorraine’s patience and guidance, I’m actually putting together a masterpiece. I expect the painting to fetch at least $25.” Like Mitchell and Martina, Gaudet says she has appreciated the guidance and instruction from her mentor artist. “I’m a perfectionist so I’ve had to let go of some of my expectations and think intuitively... Lynne is also a perfectionist but she has taught me to also listen to her ideas,” said Gaudet. “We’ve been impressed with the artists who took a chance and came out with so many ideas,” added Rasmussen. “We’ve also been impressed when we’ve talked to celebrities who said they couldn’t draw a straight line and then have seen their works and how good they are... It’s a great experience and the celebrities and artists are having a great time. Friendships are being formed.” Those attending the fundraiser will be

able to see the works for themselves and bid on art also made by Gaudet’s gold medal winning teammate Ina Forrest, Mayor Rob Sawatzky, MLA Eric Foster, Coun. Juliette Cunningham, realtor Lisa Salt, Rise golf pro Lee Ranger, up-and-coming artist Rachel Hofer, and Brooke McLardy with the Vernon Women’s Transition House. Other mentor artists include Terri Heinrichs, Jenny Diller, Holly Smith, Neil Erickson, Kim Smith, Eileen Sawracki, Linda Hunt and Buffy Baumbrough. Sponsored by a number of local businesses, those who purchase a ticket to the event will also enjoy an art exhibition and sale by the participating artists, hors d’oeuvres, a complimentary beverage, and a performance by Calgary country artist Monica Murrell. The Saturday, July 5 event starts at 5 p.m. with the art auction at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $35 per person and can be purchased by contacting Roy Rasmussen at 778-932-0629.

Best in show

Cara Brady Morning Star Staff

The Crown Jewels of Canada Society brings women together to wear their best bling and have fun doing everything from lunch to knitting and car rallies. “Ladies want to have fun. We’ve worked. Now it’s time for us to play,” said Sue Schierer, B.C. provincial representative. The society was founded by Lynda Millard and a number of other women in Kelowna in 2009 and has spread across the country to have almost 6,000 members. There are 10 chapters with 171 members in the Vernon area. “Different members plan the activities for each month and it’s a surprise what they come up with,” said Carol Marks, founder of the first chapter in Vernon. “We do things like hiking, picnics, pot lucks, reading groups, boating, whatever the members like. One time, we had a trip to Armstrong for breakfast at The Brown Derby and some shopping. The visit to the Kangaroo Farm in Lake Country was one of the most popular things we did. It’s all about socializing together.” Members can also choose to go farther afield with conventions, cruises or even a birthday weekend in Las Vegas. The Crown Jewels have four simple rules: wear white and red or white and purple; wear something on the head; pay membership dues on time; and, most important, have fun. “You can join an existing chapter, visit a couple of times to see how you like it, or start one with your friends. It’s easy and we’ll help you,” said Schierer. “The members say they appreciate it so much having something they can get out to. It’s a sisterhood. We help each other with things like giving someone a ride or visiting them in the hospital. It’s a big part of who we are.” Marks said it’s all about getting women together and laughing and she was very moved when one member told her, “This is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Bring your treasures to the Canadian Artiques Roadshow Morning Star Staff

Appraisers at the Canadian Artiques Roadshow never know what will come through the doors. The show is coming to the Okanagan this month, holding two-day events in Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton with proceeds to local food banks. A recent show in Prince George provided a surprise to appraiser Amy Luccianio “A couple showed up with an old duffle bag, but it was what was hidden inside the bag that took our appraiser’s breath away,” she said. “A Stradivarius violin made by a member of the Stradivari family during the golden period of 1770 was tucked away inside an old stinky hockey duffle bag. “After several phone calls and numerous pictures sent to a world-renowned Stradivarius dealer in New York city, the rare piece was confirmed as the real deal and valued at a cool $1 million. An offer

was made for $800,000 and the violin is now in a personal collection in New York.” But Luccianio cautioned that not everything that comes into the roadshow is of great value. A vase brought in to a recent show in Prince Edward Island was said to have belonged to Queen Anne of Scotland. But a peek at the little tag on the bottom revealed the Made In China label, confirming that it was in fact a $19 vase from Walmart. At the road show stop in Spruce Grove, Alta., local folks brought their family heirlooms and treasures. “However, since the road show by popular request brought in Canada’s leading gold and silver buyer, Global Gold, to assist people in understanding gold values versus collector value of jewellery, we now have another service that people appreciate so much,” said Luccianio. “We have heard all the horror stories of folks getting ripped off and not being paid a fair

price for their gold and silver jewellery and coins. “Simply selling one’s gold and silver jewellery for its melt value is not necessarily the best way to go. At every one of our antique roadshow events Global Gold evaluates each item, nothing is hidden — it’s extremely transparent and if the owner wishes to sell they are paid cash on the spot based on the price of gold at that moment.” The Canadian Artiques Roadshow will be at the Vernon Recreation Centre June 23 and 24 from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Holiday Inn in Kelowna June 25 and 26 and at the Lakeside Resort in Penticton June 27 and 28. To have your antiques appraised, there is a fee of $20 per item or three items for $50. There is no charge to appraise gold or silver items. “What’s in your treasure chest? See you at the roadshow.”

With every turn of the pedal, with every kilometer completed, children in Rwanda will receive a better education. For the fifth year, cyclists will be riding from Vernon to Shuswap Lake and back again in the Lake2Lake Ride for Rwanda to raise money for the Wellspring Foundation for Education. The faith-based organization is dedicated to helping children in Rwanda receive a higher level of education through sponsoring classrooms and by training teachers how to better teach their students. Shirley Malnis, partner engagement coordinator for The Wellspring Foundation for Education and Lake2Lake coordinator, said the money raised from the ride changes the lives of children half a world away. “The school system in the African nation differs greatly from the Canadian model,” she said. “The current public system can be Draconian, and it is not uncommon for a teacher to use a stick to discipline students. “It becomes a much more interesting job for the teachers once they learn improved teaching skills like behavior modification, how to use teaching aids and teaching through group work,” said Malnis, adding that parents are also taught the value of education and many are supporting their children’s teachers with donations of food and other material goods. “You can really see the love between the kids and the teachers.” Barb Elgin, who organizes volunteers for the event, said thanks to the Ignite48 program, Wellspring is helping to train up the next generation by improving the school system and assisting countless youths to receive the education needed to change a country with a dark past. “Teaching is one of the lowest paying jobs in Rwanda and teachers are not shown how to interact with their students to bring out the best in them,” she said. “But Ignite48 is changing that.” The goal of Ignite48 is to transform 48 Rwandan schools into vibrant communities, to impact the lives of more than 1,200 teachers and more than 70,000 children. It was 20 years ago Rwanda suffered

through a genocide that left hundreds of thousands of people dead. The land is healing, the people are moving forward, but to reach stability and prosperity, education is vital. And that is where local cyclists come in. Donations collected from the Lake2Lake Ride go directly to helping Rwandan teachers, students and parents. Riders will leave Dutch’s Campground in Coldstream Sept. 20 and ride to Eagle Bay Camp on Shuswap Lake to overnight. On Sept. 21 they will pedal back to Vernon, for a round-trip distance of 220 km. People can choose to ride in teams, with each team deciding how much of the route each member will ride, or an individual can tackle the entire distance on their own. To commemorate 20 years since the genocide, 10 years since the formation of Wellspring and five years of the Lake2Lake, a special prize is being offered. Any rider or volunteer who fundraises more than $1,200 will have their name put in a draw to win a trip for two to Rwanda in 2015. Last year, cyclists raised $93,000. Elgin said you don’t have to be a cyclist to help out. “We are looking for volunteers to fill a variety of positions,” said Elgin, who travelled to Rwanda for the first time earlier this year where she met many of the students and teachers Ignite48 is working with. “This experience has given me the ability to truly understand that what I’m doing does play a part in impacting children and families in Rwanda. So often we volunteer for causes or organizations without having the privilege of actually seeing what difference our efforts make in the lives of the people. Now I can fully embrace our efforts to support the riders and know that the money raised is being used to better the lives of ordinary Rwandans. I’ve seen it first-hand and met the trainers, teachers, students and parents who benefit from the support. “It’s exciting to play even a small role in the impact that is being felt throughout the public schools due to the efforts of Wellspring.” Anyone interested in riding or helping out can register at lake2lake. org or contact info@lake2lake.org

North Okanagan residents are being encouraged to learn more about the region’s indigenous people. National Aboriginal Day celebrations will be hosted Saturday by the Vernon First Nations Friendship Centre, the Okanagan Indian Band and the Splatsin First Nation. “It’s a national holiday for aboriginal people,” said TinaMarie Christian, First Nations Friendship Centre executive director. “It’s a celebration of aboriginal culture.” The friendship centre’s activities run at Polson Park from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and they include pow-wow dancing, entertainment, stick games, traditional crafts, storytelling, zumba and a white elephant sale. “The fun event will take place at noon with the teepee raising demonstration and competition,” said Christian. There will also be displays by Okanagan College, Interior Health, Community Futures and the Metis Association. Aboriginal Day festivities will also be hosted by the Okanagan Indian Band at Komasket Park, off Westside Road. There will be a brunch prepared by chief and council from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and then entertainment and activities from 12:30 to 4 p.m. That will be followed by stick games at 4 p.m. and then a traditional feast. For the Splatsin First Nation, Aboriginal Day will take place at Quilakwa Park, just south of Enderby. The activities include a pancake breakfast at 7:30 a.m., a five-kilometre walk at 9 a.m., children’s events at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., a bannock contest at 10:30 a.m., dancers and drums at 1:30 p.m. and traditional games at 2:30 p.m.

Armstrong’s streetlights will be getting some colourful additions. In February, the city teamed up with the Armstrong Spallumcheen Arts Council (SPARC) and put out a call for artists to submit design ideas for the city’s 2014-16 decorative street banners.

There were a staggering 50 applications for artwork on the banners, including 31 from Highland Park Elementary. Of the submissions received, council chose four designs that represent a cross-section of the community and will be displayed during the 2014-2016 seasons. “This was a fantas-

tically successful program,” said Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper. “We had one heck of a time narrowing things down.” The winners included Kare-ALot Early Learning Centre (represented by Karyn Wehner), artist Chandace Rees of Highland Park, Pleasant Valley Secondary School

(where five students created and worked on the art), and Darcie Hodge, an individual

artist from SPARC. There will be 120 banners installed with the city’s public works

department beginning to hang them in the coming weeks. A total of 39 banners

have been sponsored by local businesses who will have their names on the banners as well.

Adrenaline pumps out excellence Morning Star Staff

Great leadership, exceptional attitude, tremendous talent. Pleasant Valley Secondary School teacher Janet Gillis, who heads up the school’s mega-successful Adrenaline dance team, has been given the City of Armstrong’s Community Recognition of Excellence award. Mayor Chris Pieper made the presentation to Gillis in front of the dance team. “It’s my pleasure to present this award to you, Janet, for bringing such positive distinction to our community,” said Pieper. Adrenaline is a high-performing dance troupe that, in 2013-14, captured award after award throughout the province. Under Gillis’ guidance, Adrenaline won two gold medals and the top senior dance trophy at the High School Hip Hop competition at Richmond’s River Rock Theatre. The PVSS squad competed against 15 high schools from the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. They earned Diamond awards and Adjudicator’s Choice Awards for their visually stunning and wildly entertaining dance pieces at an event in Vernon. Back to the Lower Mainland and a trip to Surrey where they received a second place at a competition but were clearly crowd favourites and declared the most memorable group by other competitors. And they took first place in Kelowna for their Hunger Games-theme performance. They also finished third for three other dances at the same competition, competing against 18 teams and 69 entries.

Q: A:

Why Powers of Attorney?

You should have Powers of Attorney once you have any protect-able assets, for instance, you own a house or a business or even a bank account. Should you be in an accident, ill or out of the country, someone can attend to your financial affairs on your behalf. The person you give a Power of Attorney should be a trusted person. You should also understand that abuse of Powers of Attorney is one of the most common ways of elder abuse. We often see cases where children abuse these Powers of Attorney, so don’t assume you will be immune to this. There are many different types of Powers of Attorney, they can be custom tailored to fit your particular circumstances. At Laarakker Law, Wills and Estate Planning is not just something we do; it is something we specialize in. After all, the legacy you leave behind is more important than what you leave behind.

Home Inspector

Yes it is a problem. It depends on a few other things such as the type of soil, the location of the home, is it an area where there is a high water table or other ground water issues, or how well ventilated your crawlspace is. Sealing of the crawlspace floors is currently a requirement of the British Columbia Building Code. Even though the soil under the home can appear dry there is still a large amount of water vapor coming up through the soil & into your home. I have seen some crawlspaces in cold weather with enough moisture in the air that it was almost ready to rain in the crawlspace. The amount of damage that can be done can cost a fair amount to repair. The moisture in the air seeks out a cold spot to condensate on - this is usually the rim joist & floor joist ends of your floor system. These joists will rot and result in a big repair job. The moisture can also find its way up into the attic, condensating on the underside of the roof deck where it can grow mold. The moisture barrier will help reduce the amount of moisture entering the home from the ground & will also help to prevent radon gas from entering the home. Adding an approved moisture barrier to the basement or crawlspace to cover all exposed soils is a good plan & really not that costly.

We would like to update our home and do some repairs, are we able to borrow the money that we need?

Many Canadians have chosen to renovate their homes rather than move to a higher priced property. We can easily look at refinancing your home to provide the funds that you need to make the repairs. With today’s lower interest rates your payments will likely be lower than you would expect and if you have at least 20% equity in your home (the difference between the value of your home and the new mortgage) you are able to choose a longer repayment of 30 & 35 years to help lower your payments. We would be pleased to review your personal details and provide a payment plan that will suit your lifestyle and save you money. E&O/OAC For Expert Advice, Contact …

Ears can be blocked in a number of ways. The external canal can be blocked and earwax or small foreign objects, such as Q-tips should never be put in the ear canal. Another type of blockage can occur in the middle ear, which is most often caused by an ear infection and fluid. In both cases, it is important to see your doctor who will diagnose the problem and prescribe the correct treatment. Discovery Plaza #6, 3100 - 35 St., Vernon

You may have a nail fungal infection — also called onychomycosis. Common signs are thick, brittle nails that may be distorted in shape. The nail may also separate from the nail bed and have a slight odor. A diagnosis can be confirmed by a physician. The physician can then decide on treatment options. These options may include prescription medications including oral medications, creams and nail lacquers. A compounding pharmacy such as RemedysRx can also make specialty prescription nail lacquers that may be of benefit. Over-the-counter antifungal nail creams and ointments are available, but they are not generally as effective. You should always discuss treatment with a physician if you have other chronic medical conditions. These medications help a new nail grow free of infection, slowly replacing the infected portion of your nail. You typically take these medications for six to 12 weeks, but you won't see the end result of treatment until the nail grows back completely. It may take four months or longer to eliminate an infection. Recurrent infections are possible, especially if you continue to expose your nails to warm, moist conditions. If you have more questions or are unsure if you need to contact a physician please call the pharmacy at anytime.

Dangerous roots get chopped roger knox Morning Star Staff

A tripping hazard attributed to tree roots will be taken care of. Roots from two existing mature honey locust trees on Pleasant Valley Boulevard South have been lifting the sidewalk, causing an uneven walking surface which makes it a tripping hazard. The trees, located at 2415 Pleasant Valley Boulevard and adjacent to the city parking lot, are situated directly under Hydro power lines and have been pruned quite frequently by Hydro for safety reasons. “The beautification in this area was installed approximately 30 years ago,” said Tim Perepolkin, Armstrong’s pubJohn Trainor lic works manager. “The plantings are now at the age where pruning is no longer viable and overgrowth is creating hazards.” Council voted unanimous to approve the recommended work plan of removing both trees, complete with the removal and replacement of affected uneven sidewalk panels. A smaller tree within a curbed island near the parking lot will stay, and the landscaping will be replaced with new drought-tolerant, low maintenance landscape materials. An automatic underground irrigation system in the island will be installed. There are funds for the project in the city’s 2014 budget. Turbidity down Mother Nature has been helping the City of Armstrong‘s water state. Public works manager Tim Perepolkin, in a written report to council, said water turbidity has been slowly decreasing. “The last visit to the lakes revealed that there was minimal snow pack remaining with the spillway overflow decreasing significantly,” said Perepolkin. Mayor Chris Pieper says an almost perfect spring has helped the water turbidity. “We couldn’t have planned it better,” said Pieper. “Not much rain and no 30-plus temperatures to rapidly melt the snow. It’s been great and we haven’t had to go to water restrictions.” Invasive species Armstrong wants the province‘s bigwigs to

know they‘re concerned about mussel invasion in area lakes. Coun. John Trainor made a motion that the city send a letter to Premier Christy Clark, the ministry of environment and all Okanagan MLAs and MPs supporting the Okanagan Basin Water Board’s concerns regarding the need for action to prevent invasive zebra and quagga mussels from entering B.C. “We have lakes in this area that so many people use,” said Trainor. “These species are hard to control and harder to permanently remove.” A letter from the Village of Slocan said it supports the Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans and the Ministry of Public Safety to allocate funds and enable, train, and equip Canadian border agents to inspect boats for invasive water species. It also calls to ban entry until decontamination has been achieved. (MJHP TZY \JJPQ^ Ć^JWX Trainor’s motion was unanimously supported.

Tigers-Venom showdown set Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Source for Sports Tigers battle the first place Kamloops Venom in a Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League heavyweight bout tonight at Kal Tire Place. The Tigers derailed the Kelowna Raiders 21-4 Saturday night at Kal Tire Place, while the Venom bounced the South Okanagan Flames 15-5. Dylan Hiemstra got his first start of the season in net and turned away 22 shots for the Cats. Quinton Harrish sniped four goals, Darrell Landels pulled the hatty and added three helpers and Braden Barr bagged 2+3 for Vernon. Mitchell Anderson recorded 2+2, Thomas Landels and Ryan Sarazin each netted 2+1, Jordan Orr earned 1+4 and singles came from Bayne Bosquet, Connor Buick, Brett Hanna and Kyle Cuzzetto. Marshall Kazmir, who played his minor lacrosse with the North Okanagan Legends and has been on the practice squad all year, made his Tiger debut and played a great game. The Venom (12-0) have demolished everything in sight this year, where the Tigers (9-2) enter the game on a five-game win streak. “They are a really good team with an incredible offence,” said Tigers’ coach Keith Hanna. “We need to be better on defence and more discipline. If we give them too many powerplays we will be in trouble.” The Venom stuffed the Tigers 9-6 back in May and 12-10 in the season opener. The Tigers sit six points behind the Venom with two match-ups remaining. The Venom boast the TOJLL’s top offence with 183 goals. Brady Jorgensen has haunted goalies this year with a ridiculous 50 goals and 83 points.

Vernon Rep teams in Challenge Cup Morning Star Staff

Three Vernon United girls Rep teams will play in the B.C. Challenge Cup Rep Soccer Championships, July 3-6, in Chilliwack. The U14s capped an undefeated season with two wins in the Thompson Okanagan playdowns in Penticton, grounding the Kamloops Blaze 7-1 in Sunday’s final at Kings Park in Penticton. “Other than a 20 minute stretch in the first half, of the final game, the girls were solid right through the team,” said United head coach Al Gee. Vernon opened the playoffs by shutting out the host Pinnacles 6-0 Saturday afternoon. Mason Christensen scored four times in the final, while Alyssa Racine, Dannika Roy and an own goal completed the Vernon offence. Shauna Bradley was solid in recording both clean sheets. Roy worked tirelessly down the wing, providing great service into the box. Christensen (3), Jai Sidhu (2) and Kalli Hamilton-Gee handled the attack versus Penticton. Added coach Gee, assisted by Lee Christensen: “The girls should really be proud of their season. They have been on the field since last October and their commitment really showed this weekend. “On any given day, we can single out the play of two or three kids but that is not our story. We are where we are today because of our commitment to the team. We have had other coaches ask us if we are running a hockey team because we literally make line changes every 10-15 min. Every player on our team is essential to our success regardless of whether or not their name shows up on the goal scorers list.” The U14s have a tournament in Calgary before heading to provincials.

Under 13s surprise Kelowna in final

Vernon U13 girls surprised regular-season champion Kelowna United 3-1 in Sunday’s final. Keeper Elena Yablonski was kept busy from the start with good forward pressure from Kelowna. The back line fed the ball up to Danica Ariano, who fed Mira Szudek, who went in alone but shot wide. Another feed by Megan Sherwood up to Emilia Durfeld landed the ball on Szudek’s foot again but her shot just missed. With seconds left in the first half, Elena Gaskell charged the left side and a short cross near the goal line ended up in the Kelowna net courtesy of the Kelowna keeper. Kelowna pressured early in the second half with Yablonski, Talia Quiring and Gabby Triggs fending off the forward line and returing the ball to midfield where Jayden Strachan and Kelsey Falk pressured Kelowna up the field. With three minutes to go in the half, Kelowna sped to the net on a through ball. Yablonski stopped the shot but the rebound settled behind her in the net. Regulation ended 1-1. In the first 10-minute overtime, Vernon took charge keeping play in the Kelowna end. Emily Thomas streaked down the right flank and used her left to sting one past the keeper. Vernon dominated in the Kelowna end, with Szudek converting on a free kick with a bullet to the left of the keeper, making it 3-1. Kelowna pressed hard in the second OT with Vernon solid on the ball. Kelowna had one great chance on a breakaway which was snuffed by Sherwood, taking out the Kelowna striker in the box. The penalty shot hit the cross bar, rebounding down near the goal line, and Yablonski scooped the loose ball for the save. Vernon shut down Penticton 2-0 in Saturday’s semifinals with the Pinnacles enjoying a slight advantage in the see-saw opening half. Penticton’s slick passing took Vernon by surprise but tireless efforts on the ball from Carly Southam and Kelsey Carriere denied the Pinnacles any goals.

The Vernon United boys U12 Team #1 earned two Rep soccer wins over Kamloops teams last weekend. Keeper Kevin Morgan recorded two more shutouts, getting great help from a strong and determined back line. Vernon won their opener 6-0 with Isaiah Ondrik and Jack Cotter tallying in a tight first half. United added four more (James Meeks, Ondrik, Man of the Match Saajan Klair and Max Chirkoff) in the final 35 minutes. Game 2 was equally tight in a goal-less opening half before Vernon’s relentless attack yielded a beautiful passing play finished off by Man of the Match Cotter. Cotter and roadrunner Ben Imrich added goals to seal a 3-0 victory. Josh Mckeown and Nate Paskiewich both offered season-best outings, and Aiden Skinner was a tackling beast on the back line alongside the always unflappable Chirkoff. Vernon U12 #2 boys dropped two close games to Kelowna Red and White by 2-0 counts. The Vernon boys battled hard in a scoreless first half in Game 1. Gavin Medema, Luc Jones and Dawson Martian put in exceptional efforts and Keegan Carmichael was Man of The Match as he ran miles in central midfield. In the second game, the boys came out strong with several chances but failed to capitalize. Caught on a counter attack, Vernon went down 1-0 and held that deficit to the half. Several injuries in the second half and tired legs caught up to Vernon and they down 2-0. The lads battled on and stellar efforts by Liam Reid, Kobe Grant and Liam Glennon saved waves of Kelowna attacks. Logan Quibel was once again spectacular in net to keep the game closer than the scoreline showed and was Man of The Match. Both teams wrap up the season Sunday with games in Kamloops.

Vernon Under 13 boys fall 3-2 in final Continued from A25

In the second half, Kelowna had to press while Vernon bided their time for the counters. The defence of Peter Hirschkorn, Kevin Thibault, Wyatt Carter, Gray and Sam Eggert played admirably and kept Kelowna’s quality chances to a minimum. On one foray into the attacking zone, Mees Geelkerken streaked down the left side and put in a spectacular cross. Wiens made an attempt on it but the Kelowna defender marking him inadvertently smashed the ball into his own net. The midfield of Charis Ondrik, Shey Townley and Mason also did their job clogging up the middle and intercepting passes to turn the ball over. James Huntington, Elias Jensen and Connor London had bold games in their defensive roles. Vernon’s last goal came on another counter attack with Wiens being sent in again, this time by Geelkerken. The keeper challenged, but Wiens went around him and roofed the ball in the net for the commanding lead. Harvey Pawsey played his best game of the year and was solid with a dozen saves for the win. Yogi Kongsdorf ’s Vernon U14 boys lost 3-2 to Kelowna United in an intense Saturday playoff tilt in Salmon Arm. Within 10 minutes, Kelowna netted the first goal, revving up the Vernon squad who rallied hard but couldn’t connect. Kelowna recorded their second goal of the half with Vernon

keeping up their intensity. Ben Purivs and Finn Plummer dug deep in midfield and kept sending the ball to forwards Bryce Turner, Mika Burns, Jarrod Latta and Perez Vermeulen. With minutes left to go in the first half, Purvis converted. With storm clouds looming in the final half, Kelowna pushed Vernon even harder and minutes into the half, Vermeulen provided the equalizer. Kelowna quickly responded with the winner. Back and forth rallies occured and heavy rains hit with 10 minutes remaining. Despite a Kelowna forward being red-carded for attacking a defender, Vernon couldn’t even up the match. Keeper Ian Oliphant was spectacular with his tough back line anchored by Trent Graham, Adam Raber and Danny Paskiewich. In Under 15 girls play, Vernon lost 5-0 to Penticton, ending their season. Booster Juice sponsored the Thompson Okanagan League with Kelowna winning the regular-season U13 girls title, Penticton taking the U13 boys, Vernon earning the U14 girls crown, Penticton pocketing the U14 boys, Kelowna ruling the U15 girls and the Pinnacles winning the U15 boys.

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE HUNT IS ON FOR NUMBER NINE Jon Bon Jovi said, “Success is falling nine times and getting up 10.” Success in three no-trump is getting up nine tricks and falling four times. How should South plan to do that in this deal after West leads the spade king? South starts with eight top tricks: one spade, two hearts, four diamonds and one club. The extra winner might come from hearts or clubs. In isolation, in hearts, one would cash dummy’s king, then take a finesse; or, in clubs, take two finesses. The snag is that all of those finesses are into the West hand, the defender who presumably has long and

strong spades (to be leading declarer’s known four-card suit). Is there anything better? Of course! South should duck the first two rounds of spades to find out if the suit is 4-3 or worse. If it is worse, he had better run his diamonds to try to bring pressure to bear on West, then probably hope that the heart finesse works. Here, though, spades are 4-3. Now it cannot hurt declarer to take the third spade and return his fourth spade, pitching a heart and a club from the board. If West shifts to a heart or club, it concedes the contract. So let’s assume he safely leads a diamond. South takes the trick on the

board and runs the club 10. That loses and West produces another diamond. Now declarer should play off his two top hearts. Here, the queen drops and the contract is home. But if she does not appear, after cashing his last two diamond tricks, South should plan on taking a second club finesse.

Charlotte Rachel Williamson (nee McDougall)

Born just before midnight on February 29th, 1920 (her birth cerĆ&#x;ÄŽcate read March 1st), passed away peacefully on June 11th, 2014 at Hospice House with members of her family at her side. Mom grew up in West Vancouver. She married a West Van boy, Nicholas (Obbie) Williamson in 1936. During their 58 years of marriage, they raised ÄŽve children and lived in West Vancouver, Victoria, Bella Bella, New Westminster and Coquitlam before seĆŠling in Vernon in 1972. While living in Victoria, as the children got older, Mom decided she should help Dad by bringing in a liĆŠle eÇ†tra income for buying the kids Christmas presents. She promptly went out and got a job at Birks selling jewellery. She loved that job and made some lifelong friends while she was there. Several years later when living in Coquitlam, she took on a new challenge and began working as a psychiatric aide at Woodlands School and later at Alderlodge. When DadÍ›s job took them to Vernon, she conĆ&#x;nued working as an aide at Dellview Hospital where she remained unĆ&#x;l her reĆ&#x;rement in 1980. When Mom reĆ&#x;red, she did not sit idle but conĆ&#x;nued to assist others by volunteering with diÄŤerent organizaĆ&#x;ons. She became a tutor; teaching illiterate adults how to read, took on the role of server at the monthly Schubert Centre Pancake Breakfast and volunteered one morning a week at the Vernon Courthouse with the John Howard Society; a duty she conĆ&#x;nued well into her eighĆ&#x;es. Mom also spent her Ć&#x;me enjoying various acĆ&#x;viĆ&#x;es such as learning Tai Chi, being a member of the BC Government ReĆ&#x;red Employees AssociaĆ&#x;on, Schubert Centre and the North Okanagan Community Concerts AssociaĆ&#x;on; regularly aĆŠending their concerts. She travelled widely including trips to Europe, New ealand, California, and the MariĆ&#x;mes. Mom is survived by four of her children: sons, Paul Williamson (Katherine) of Pender Island, Neil Williamson (Sylvia) of Ladner, daughters, Nikki Springford of Maple Ridge, and Michele Lypchuk (Glenn) of Armstrong; grandchildren: Kirk Eastman, Kyndree Eastman, Laura Williamson, Leah Williamson, ScoĆŠ Lypchuk (Dawn), Alyson Lypchuk, Leslie Williamson, CharloĆŠe Young, Peter Young, and her precious great-grandsons: MaÇ† Eastman, Ben McCormick, Liam Dennis Williamson, Linden Lypchuk, and Liam Lypchuk. She is also survived by her brother Evan MacDougall of Hope; stepsisters, Evelyn Pallant of Sechelt and Aileen DevereuÇ† of Port Alberni; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and her very special eÇ†tended family, the Lypchuks and the Hockens. Mom was predeceased by our Dad, Nick Williamson; our brother, Peter Williamson; her brother, Lloyd McDougall; and step-brothers, Roland, Jerry, and Merrill Meuse. The family wishes to thank Dr. Gavin Smart, Dr. Langer, Dr. MarĆ&#x;n, and the wonderful nurses in ICU as well as the amazing staÄŤ at Hospice House for the kind, thoughĆžul care given to Mom in her ÄŽnal days. MomÍ›s priority was always her family. She was a loving, smart, sharp-wiĆŠed, someĆ&#x;mes cheeky woman who always spoke her mind. She embraced life; life embraced her. There is a big hole in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. In keeping with MomÍ›s wishes, there will not be a funeral service. The family invites you to join them at a gathering to share stories and celebrate the life of CharloĆŠe at Schubert Centre on Sunday, June 29th, 2014 from 1:30-3:30 p.m. In lieu of Ĺ‡owers, those wishing to do so may make donaĆ&#x;ons in MomÍ›s memory to the North Okanagan Hospice Society, 3506 27th Ave. Vernon, BC V1T 1S4 or to the SalvaĆ&#x;on Army-House of Hope Food Bank, 3303 32nd Ave. Vernon BC V1T 2M7.

Decriminalization debate confusing for youth doug rogers Special to The Morning Star

As a youth substance abuse counsellor, I see

many kids every week and I will limit my comment to this demographic.

Marijuana is a drug of illusion for young people. They believe that it does not affect

them. Recent research has revealed some very important information about marijuana which

all families should consider. Scientific literature shows that cannabis affects young people

in many negative ways. It is linked to lowering attention span, reduced reaction time and co-

ordination. Further, the American Medical Association (AMA) has come out strongly against the legalization and sale of marijuana. Its research has shown that marijuana contributes to psychosis and schizophrenia, leads to addiction in one of six children who ever try the drug and reduces the IQ among those who used marijuana regularly before the age of 18 (Addiction professional, 2014). A study at Arizona State University (2014) found that individuals who started using cannabis once a week or more in adolescence and used it for years thereafter showed an average eight-point IQ decline. Furthermore, quitting or reducing cannabis use did not appear to fully restore intellectual function among those who persistently used cannabis as adolescents (ecollegetimes.com, 2014). Another fallacy regarding cannabis use is it is a drug used to relax or chill. Although this may be true for some, the Center for Substance Abuse Research (2014) has shown that among juvenile arrestees, marijuana is the most detected drug in the bodies of young offenders (39 per cent compared to cocaine at 0.2 per cent and PCP 0.2 per cent) I have closely watched the decrimin a l i z at i on / l e g a l i z a tion debate in North American society and it concerns me. It causes great confusion for young adults. Our kids believe that if something is legal, then it must be safe. Remember, alcohol and tobacco are legal and responsible adults would never give children these drugs. Parents, insist upon a no-use rule for your kids. Marijuana is not a safe drug for children. Doug Rogers is substance abuse counsellor with the Vernon School District.
