Police target abuse of ‘safe’ drugs JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
A
highly addictive, yet perfectly legal, drug is increasingly being abused locally. Oxycodene (also known as Endocodene, M-Oxy, OxyCotin, Percolone, Roxicodone) is a prescription drug used to treat moderate to severe pain. But more and more people, including some North Okanagan youth, are using the pharmaceutical to get high. The misconception is that there’s no harm in taking the narcotic, commonly referred to as ‘hillbilly heroin.’ — Romailler “Because this is a pill created by the pharmacies they (users) say, ‘it’s safe,’” said Doug Rogers, substance abuse prevention counsellor in the Vernon School District, who is seeing more and more local youth abusing prescription drugs. “The mindset is: ‘it’s no big deal.’ “‘I’m not a bad kid doing illegal drugs.’” Const. Kathy Szoboticsanec, VernonNorth Okanagan RCMP school liaison officer, adds: “They see mom taking it (for legitimate pain purposes) so it’s ‘OK.’” Oxy is primarily used for cancer patients and those with back injuries, but is increasingly being used among youth as a recreational drug. The same opiate as heroin (with the same effects), this ‘hillbilly heroin’ has a street value of approximately $25-50 for one 80 milligram pill/tablet, according to Tory Romailler, constable in charge of the Vernon Task Force. In the schools it has been suggested the price is even lower. On the street, Romailler says Oxy is becoming all too common. “In the last three years, we’ve seen it much more. We hear them talk about it as much as cocaine, heroin and crack,” he said, adding that more than 50 per cent of the dial-a-dopers are now carrying pharmaceuticals. But unlike heroin, it carries a ‘safer and cleaner’ image. “Heroin is a dirty drug,” said Romailler, adding that the use of oxy opens the door to
“It’s as accessible as cocaine, more I’d say.”

Const. Tory Romailler, in charge of the Vernon Task Force, says the use of prescription drugs, such as oxycotin, as a recreational drug is increasing locally. new users. “This has sort of come up the middle and is knocking all these other ones out (meth, cocaine, ecstasy),” said Rogers, adding that in the U.S. oxy is the third most commonly used substance, next to alcohol
Most
and marijuana, and Canada tends to follow suit with its southern neighbour. The biggest problem is how accessible the drug is. “This is sitting in the medicine cabinets,” said Szoboticsanec. “If parents have pre-
scriptions, lock them up.” Rogers urges parents, grandparents and other caregivers: “You better watch your medicine, you better watch your kids.” Unlike trying to get their hands on illegal drugs, dealers can easily access oxy by purchasing unused pills from those with prescriptions or taking a little off the top of their own prescriptions. “It’s as accessible as cocaine, more I’d say,” said Romailler. And hiding the pills isn’t hard either. Unlike marijuana, the pills have no odour, and since they are legal, they are often carried around in prescription bottles. But Romailler warns parents to also watch for unsuspecting candy and mint tins. Officials are concerned that teenagers are using oxy to self-medicate for anxiety, mental health, hormones, family issues and the stresses associated with school. But what they may not realize is how addictive oxy is – something that doctors and physicians warn to those who legitimately take the drug. Therefore when the refills run out and the funds dry up for illegal sales, most move onto the next best thing, which is also cheaper – heroin. And it has already begun. “There’s so many kids on heroin right now,” said Szoboticsanec. Some local youth’s lives have been seen spiralling downwards into prostitution, theft and running drugs to afford their drug abuse and pay off their drug debts. “The worst part is, when they’re battling their addiction, what they’re doing to support it,” said Szoboticsanec. “They’re at the point where they need it so they’ll do anything.” And for those who decide to stop, or whose parents intervene, it’s often too late to quit cold turkey. “They think that these kids can wean themselves off,” said Szoboticsanec. “They can’t. They need to be sent to a facility.” Unfortunately, such facilities cost upwards of $50,000 - a price most families can’t afford. Parents and caregivers concerned about oxy use with youth are urged to watch for signs of flu-like symptoms and mellow behaviour. “If it’s beyond flu season and they constantly have the flu, have the discussion,” said Szoboticsanec, of the side effects of withdrawal.

Contract axe frustrates Landing firefighters ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The Okanagan Landing Volunteer Firefighters Association wants a meeting. The association has requested a face-toface meeting with City of Vernon administrator Will Pearce and Vernon Fire Rescue Services chief Keith Green to discuss the city’s decision not to renew its contract with the Landing association when it expires at the end of January 2013. “The news raised a lot of questions and a lot of unknowns,� said Todd Montgomery, president of the Okanagan Landing association. “They’ve proposed a model for us if we join the VVFA (Vernon Volunteer Firefighters Association), and we’ve all been invited to do so. “But we can’t continue as volunteers under the Okanagan Landing association because we no longer have the contract.� It was during an in-camera meeting in July that Vernon city council authorized Pearce to notify the Landing that the city would not be renewing the contract.
In a press release issued by the city, council said its primary reason for cancelling the contract was “to bring together all volunteer and career firefighters into one cohesive firefighting team.� The cancelling of the contract would mean a reduction in overall costs, and the city said it would provide skilled, well-trained firefighters to deliver the best emergency response to all Vernon residents. Montgomery said the city has asked the Landing association to continue on with its community activities, including the popular Okanagan Landing Regatta, held in July, and to continue with the number of charitable donations it makes per year. “I don’t know how that’s going to continue when our members are asked to pay into one association, the VVFA, as well as contribute to our association,� he said. Fire suppression service with the Landing has been contracted by the city since 1993, when a boundary extension brought Okanagan Landing into the city limits. Okanagan Landing volunteer firefighters

have been helping the city since its inception in 1975. The cancelling of the contract has left the 30-member Okanagan Landing members feeling upset. “They’re confused, there’s a lot of questions, and there’s frustration,� said Montgomery. “There are a whole lot of questions about what the new model will look like. Members will make decisions both on individual levels and as an association as to how we move forward.� Vernon Fire Rescue Services chief Keith Green understands the Landing’s reactions and concerns, and has agreed to a meeting Tuesday with Pearce and the Okanagan Landing association. “We figured it would be a process and meet with them a number of times to alleviate some of their concerns, and we’ve committed to do that,� said Green. Fire services, said the chief, is one of the most difficult organizations to propose changes for due to all the tradition and history that goes with it.
The Vernon Fire Department was founded in 1891. “They (Landing) have a fear of their loss of autonomy and their service to that particular area,� said Green. “We’ve said that if they’re with the VVFA, they’ll be given a chance to respond out of that (Okanagan Landing) station exclusively. We’re committed to doing that.� Council has directed that the Landing and soon-to-be Predator Ridge fire halls will stay strictly volunteer until council decides otherwise.

Library strike action ends Morning Star Staff
The labour strife at local libraries has come to an end. CUPE 1123 and the Okanagan Regional Library (ORL) board have reached a tentative agreement. All job action, which included cutting off the pull list, halted Thursday. CUPE 1123 president Rose
Jurkic says the union is glad that patrons can once again enjoy the full services of their local library. “CUPE 1123 wants to thank the communities that have supported us throughout contract negotiations,� said Jurkic. “We look forward to the future and continuing to deliver quality public services.� Negotiations began in the fall of 2011 and a strike vote was taken in
April, over the past several months library workers engaged in job action in an effort to achieve a fair and reasonable collective agreement. The union’s ratification vote will be held Sept. 9. CUPE 1123 represents over 155 front-line library workers at 17 ORL branches throughout the Okanagan, including Vernon’s new library.
Kokanee alumnus strikes bronze Morning Star Staff
Former Vernon Kokanee Swim Club member Richard Weinberger is an Olympic medallist. Weinberger, a 22-year-old who now lives and trains in Victoria, won bronze in the men’s open-water marathon Friday at the London Games. He finished the 10-kilometre circuit – six laps of a one-mile course of the Serpentine in Hyde Park – in one hour, 50 minutes, 0.3 seconds. Tunisia’s Oussama Mellouli (1:49:55.1) won gold.

BOBBISUE MENARD Lake Country Calendar
The Lake Country Chamber of Commerce has decided to not enter into a fee-for-service agreement with the District of Lake Country for the Visitor’s Centre. This means that, as of December 31, 2012, the district will be responsible for the Visitor’s Centre and will work with Tourism BC and other funding sources to keep the Visitor’s Centre open. The Chamber of Commerce has been either operating or contributing to the operation of the Visitor’s Centre since 2002, as the facility is considered a solid link for local businesses to tourists and visitors to the area. The past few years have seen the district increase its financial contribution to the operating budget of the centre, but with senior levels of government putting funding at risk, the Chamber of Commerce believes the district needs to contribute more. The District of Lake Country contributed $45,000 to the centre last year.
“We requested a $5,000 bump should the Service Canada (a federal agency) grant be declined,” said Marvin Farkas, president of the Lake Country Chamber of Commerce. The chamber also requested some volunteer training funds, as the sole individual able to perform training at the centre is getting on in years. “All volunteers at the centre must be certified as trained to meet Tourism BC’s requirements,” Farkas said. Tourism BC also has minimum service hour requirements – seven days a week from the May long weekend to the September long weekend. The Service Canada grant went to cover paid summer student staffing. Should that grant be denied in the future, the centre would be short hours required for Tourism BC funding which averages about $7,000 per year. The possibility of losing the federal grant and having it cascade through to the Tourism BC funding was simply too much risk for the local chamber to take on, said
Farkas, especially after an in-camera session with district council discussing the issue. “We feel there wasn’t an offer of a full partnership on the table,” Farkas said. Alberto De Feo, the district’s chief administrative officer, said the issue has far more to do with the financial constraints faced by the district than anything else. “The centre is absolutely worthwhile,” De Feo said. “It is unfortunate we have this much money to offer, but the district would like to help out and do what it can. We did increase the budget for this year by $10,000.” The situation is unfortunate, De Feo said, since the chamber has a seat at the district table on many committees and the district views the chamber as a full partner in many endeavors. “We have to be accountable to taxpayers at large in our decisions,” De Feo said. “Obviously if the Chamber of Commerce feels there is not enough funding that is their choice but we are still open for negotiation.”

Abundance of local harvest celebrated
Testimonials
Morning Star Staff
Increased awareness is being harvested to get residents to celebrate their locally grown, and great tasting, food. The Food Action Society of the North Okanagan is inviting all residents of the North Okanagan to Celebrate the Abundance and to Eat Local this summer. They will be answering questions and providing information to the public at various locations around the North Okanagan, encouraging them to choose local for its superior taste and freshness. Doug Gordon, one of the promotional coordinators and a new farmer himself agrees that “while there are many social, environmental, and economical benefits when supporting our regional food system, the bottom line is that fresh local food tastes great.” Anyone who grows their own or buys from a farm or local farm market would likely tell you that nothing tastes quite like a fresh picked tomato or a tree-ripened peach. “We are so fortunate to have such a thriving local food system that it is easy to take for granted,” said Gordon. “With droughts throughout many regions in the United States this year, and an ever turbulent global food climate, it is important to remember that we live in one of the most bountiful food regions on the globe. That is truly something to celebrate.” The Food Action Society also wants resiTurning old furniture into

ings, and it’s free to all users”. You can catch their local food booth next at the Okanagan Feast of Fields today in Lake Country, hosted at the Claremont Ranch Organics (tickets required), and at the free Grindrod Garlic Festival on Aug. 19.

English Lit job search woes
W
here did all the good, high-paying jobs for B.A.’s in English Lit go all of a sudden? Four years of my life, wasted. Actually, the years weren’t wasted; I was. Now I’m going to have to move back into my parents’ house. Well, not my parents’ house, because they don’t have one anymore. They’ve moved back in with their parents. So I’ll be living in my grandparents’ house with them. It’s like living in the world’s worst frat house. No binge drinking allowed, and they expect Jim Mullen me to be out of bed by 6 a.m. How did things come to this? We didn’t have the biggest house in our subdivision, but my siblings and I each had an extra bedroom for our toys and clothes, and the fourcar garage had plenty of room for our golf clubs and kayaks. Dad put in a pool, and Mom had the kitchen redone to look like an Italian palace she saw on one of our twice-a-year cruises. Then, all of a sudden, we’re broke. I never did figure out how that happened. Where did all the money go? Grandpa is an electrician, and Grandma never worked outside the house. They never went to college, they never take vacations and they still live in a tiny house they bought when they were first married. With cash, Grandpa keeps telling me, he doesn’t owe anyone a penny. Well, duh. He never buys anything. Anybody could do that. Gramps says, “What do I need a big house for?” He needs it so that my parents and I don’t have to keep bumping into one another, that’s why. I don’t know why he and Grandma seem so happy. They don’t have anything. His car is from the ‘90s! There’s not an HDTV in the house; they don’t even get basic cable. He’s never heard of “Halo” and “World of Warcraft” or beer pong. He wouldn’t know an app if it bit him on the face. He doesn’t know how to text, yet they still let him drive, even though he’s in his 60s! Me, I’m $130,000 in debt, and no one wants

to learn about Chaucer. I should have majored in something more practical, like astronomy or anthropology, where the big bucks are. I went to Starbucks yesterday to catch up with some of my classmates, who aren’t having any better luck finding a job than I am. “The whole market for M.F.A.’s has disappeared too,” Faberge told me. “It’s as if no one wants curators for private art collections anymore. I’ll never be able to pay off my student loans. If only I had learned how to use a tattoo needle. That’s where all the money is in contemporary art. But my parents don’t understand. They think instead of spending $16 a day at Starbucks, I should be working at one. Like that’s going to pay my bills. They are so stuck in the past.” “Why don’t you just start painting and sell your stuff for a couple million dollars a canvas?” I asked. “After all, you have a degree, and a lot of way famous artists never had a degree.” “Good idea. And why don’t you just go home and knock out a few best-sellers?” “I studied English, not writing.” “You couldn’t go read Dickens at the library for free? You had to go to college for that?” Faberge is totally lacking in the sympathy department. He and my grandfather would get along well. “Why would anyone read Dickens if they didn’t have to?” I replied. “That’s the whole college experience -- doing things that make you miserable. My cousin Billy wouldn’t do it. He and I are exactly the same age, and he spent the last four years learning how to be an electrician with my granddad. He could have gone to college, but he’d rather do something he likes. It’s going to hold him back the rest of his life.” “Wait a minute,” Faberge said. “Didn’t he just get married and buy a house?” “Yeah, a little one.” “You’ve seen it?” “No, but he said there wasn’t enough room for me to move in with them.” (Jim Mullen’s newest book, “How to Lose Money in Your Spare Time -- At Home,” is available at amazon.com.

In a world where there is often precious little to celebrate, where citizens must die for democracy, people are gunned down in a movie theatre and countless other acts leave us saddened, disheartened or just plain cynical, every two years a spectacle takes place that breathes life back into the human spirit. The Olympic Games are a twoweek celebration of youth, goodwill and ultimate effort. A glimpse, perhaps, into the lighter side, the better side, of the human condition. The Olympics are a spectacle where failure doesn’t result in civil war or poverty, but only an acknowledgement that more work is required. To lose leaves little consequence; we simply move on to the next event and hope. Nanoose Bay’s Mike Mason’s high jump effort came up just short of the bronze medal. Simon Whitfield’s crash in triathlon and the women’s loss in soccer to the U.S. left us disappointed. But to win leaves us punching the air in celebration, with lumps in our throat as our national anthem plays. We see the joy and understanding in the athlete at the top of the podium, having carried an entire nation’s hopes on their shoulders and succeeded. To have so much sacrifice pay off. That is what we celebrate. And while every Olympics has its shortfalls, corporate sponsorships and huge investment in venues, the price is worth it. For two weeks, the world converges in one place without politics, religion or greed. For two weeks, we get a glimpse of a world without borders. As the 2012 London Olympics draw to a close, and as the Olympic Flame is once again set to be extinguished, we can look back and pocket the moments of inspiration, learn from the failures and embrace the human race. ---Nanaimo News Bulletin

A tribute to Landing firefighters
O
n my current visit to my home town, I was saddened to hear about the demise of the Okanagan Landing Volunteer Fire Department. I have been no stranger to the ongoing battle to keep the hall going as my father is long-time chief and founding member Ed Forslund. Let me start by saying that I am well aware of changing needs in this growing community and the perceived need for something better in the way of fire protection in the Landing. Although there have been no incidents to warrant any kind of grievance, I do understand. In 1972 Okanagan Landing was also growing and in need of fire protection. This is because the Vernon Fire Department refused to come to the Landing. There were meetings, and some men stood up and decided that they would form a volunteer fire brigade to protect their own community. A non-profit status was given, and the land for the hall was purchased by the North Okanagan Regional District. The men themselves dug the hole and built the hall. Every weekend, they would donate their time and energy to see that Okanagan Landing had its own fire hall. A hall that, as of January 2013, will be known as “Vernon Hall #2.” OFFICERS ON JOB I would like to respond to the comments of Coun. Catherine Lord in a recent edition of The Morning Star and her statement about how the province has done away with enforcement of fish and wildlife laws. I believe there are at least two conservation officers stationed in Vernon who's job is to enforce provincial wildlife laws. Coun. Catherine Lord's lack of knowledge in this area clearly indicates she is not capable of dealing with wildlife issues or making laws in regard to them. The bow hunting she refers to may be an effective way to control wildlife populations in areas like orchards with residential areas nearby. Bow hunting being a short ranged affair is safer than firearms in this instance. Please let the conservation officers decide if further action is required. P. Neumann
Of course the OKLFD has been a part of my life from day one. It has been for anyone whose family is or was a part of it. It has been for anyone who has lived or gone to school in the Landing. The fire department became a cornerstone of our community. Beyond protecting our homes and property from fire, there was anything from organizing much of the annual Regatta, to putting together college scholarships for graduating students from Okanagan Landing. Community service at its finest. Many of us kids who grew up in the fire hall (current Chief Fuhr included) have had many of our most important moments of our lives within those walls that our fathers
POLICE PRESENCE It was with some awe and disbelief that I read in The Morning Star that Mr. Talbot believes that there was no police in evidence recently during The Summer Stomp and Sturgis North. I'm not quite sure where he was, but I was stopped four times in four days at road stops in the Silver Creek area. One of these times was during a charity poker run. Over 100 bikes were pulled off Highway 97A, license check etc. The C.O. from Vernon was walking the perimeter of the Stomp grounds on Thursday, officers were walking around with video cameras looking for something? All this police presence and there were no issues, no fights, no arguments, just a bunch of motorcycle enthusiasts having fun and trying to raise a little money for local charities. Respect is a two-way street, give it to get it back in return. Dave Ellington
built. Birthdays, wedding receptions, graduations, wakes to learning how to change the oil in a car. The fire hall wasn’t just a building. It was a part of day to day life. Moments I’ll always cherish. On hearing this news upon my return to Vernon this week, I had to think about it a lot. Like I said, I realize that change is imminent. There will always be those in a position of power with a need to fix those things that aren’t broken for “the greater good.” I am most enraged at the way it was done. For the administrative types to meet with council “in-camera” and not give the OKLFD any notice, let alone a chance for rebuttal was a slap in the face to an organization who has
BURIED BOTTLES I was recently at Juniper Beach in Kal Lake Park with my family, playing and digging in the sand, when I noticed that, mysteriously, my fingers were bleeding. My kids had chosen to build their sandcastle and moat in the exact same spot that someone had buried at least six beer bottles, three of which were broken. I spent the better part of an hour hunting down and removing shards of glass, and I was not finished. I'm glad I found the glass rather than my two girls, aged four and one. The bottles may have been buried some time ago - they were 'stubbies'. If you're going to do something irresponsible, at least make sure your actions do not impact others, no matter how many years go by. Thank you to the Parks Facility Operator who promised me he'd clean the rest up. Chris Corbett
FLYING FOR HUNGER The Armstrong Boys and Girls Club and the Salvation Army Food Banks would like to thank everyone who came out to support our Flying for Hunger event on July 28. The Vernon Radio Control Aeromodelers Society and the Model Aeronautics Association of Canada hosted an amazing model airplane show. We would also like to thank the staff and volunteers of Valley First Credit Union for their delicious BBQ. The Armstrong Dairy Queen donated the buns, burgers and cheese. A huge thank you to Dairy Queen for their support. Lastly, a big thank you to Okanagan Boys & Girls Club and Salvation Army staff and volunteers. This was the first ever joint fundraiser for the two food banks and that the cooperation between all was wonderful. Okanagan Boys and Girls Club

put it on the line time after time. The history involved demands more respect than that. I also want to be very clear that this is not anything against the firefighters of the Vernon Fire Department. I know several of them personally and I know they are among the best at their job. This isn’t about that. It is about the level of disrespect handed to the OKLFD. That responsibility lies at the feed of the administrative people of the Vernon Fire Department and City Council itself. I’ll say goodbye to the Okanagan Landing Fire Department with heaviness in my heart. These people did so much for their community as asked for very little in return. They deserve better than this. They deserve better than an article proclaiming Vernon Fire Department will now be “…providing skilled, well–trained firefighters to deliver the best emergency response to all residents.” The members of OKLFD are just as skilled and well trained as those in Vernon, BX/ Silver Star, Coldstream/Lavington, Enderby, Armstrong/Spallumcheen. I wish all the best to all the members of the Okanagan Landing Volunteer Fire Department past and present. There are many of us out here that realize everything you’ve done for us over the years.

White Valley considers fee hikes JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
The cost could be climbing for facility and park rentals in Lumby, while it will actually be a little cheaper for individuals wanting to take a dip in the pool or a skate around the rink. A 2.4 per cent fee increase is being considered by the White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee at its Monday morning meeting. “It’s been a while, we’ve had the status quo for a couple of Rick Fairbairn years,” said chairperson Rick Fairbairn of the increase, which is actually lower than the initial four per cent suggestion. “In light of the economy, etc., we’ll just keep it to a bare minimum.” The increase would apply to group rentals of sports fields, tennis courts, the White Valley Community
Centre, Pat Duke Memorial Arena, the Lumby Curling Rink and pool rates. But with the HST being eliminated April 1, 2013 (and replaced with PST), general admissions to use the pool or arena will actually see a slight drop. “This will impact recreation program participants, as there will be a seven per cent reduction in the current tax rate,” said Tannis Nelson, community development co-ordinator, in her report. General admissions do not include tax, therefore as an example the rate for adult pool fees will be $3.35 after the HST is removed (down from $3.60, which includes the 2.4 per cent increase and HST). “There have been concerns expressed about the state of the economy and people’s ability to pay additional fees for parks and recreation services,” said Nelson. “Public admission fees were not raised in 2011/2012 for this reason. As a result, it is recommended that an increase equivalent to CPI (2.4 per cent) be added to all rates.”

Spike in fake cash Morning Star Staff
The RCMP is asking Interior business communities to be alert after a recent spike of counterfeit money being passed. Since July 26, RCMP have received 23 complaints where counterfeit currency was either passed or attempted to be passed in the communities of Lake Country, Salmon Arm, Oliver, Osoyoos, Okanagan Falls, Penticton, West Kelowna and Kamloops. These incidents involve Canadian bank notes in the $20, $50 and $100 denominations from the Canadian Journey Series (2001 – 2006). “The public, merchants and businesses should always check the security features of the bank note before accepting,” said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Dan Moskaluk. The security features to check are: watermark or ghost image, security thread, overall print quality, metallic or holographic strip and puzzle number or see through number. “The typical modus operandi is for the passer to make an inexpensive purchase and pay with a large denomination, in turn receiving a large percentage of change back in authentic currency, leaving the bogus bill in the till,” said Moskaluk.

Each day before I ride, I look at the pink ribbon and it reminds me of her battle and why I am doing this ride across Canada,” said Lowe. Their goal is to spread their message that can-

region’s construction leaders. Graham Design Builders has earned the award for the Vernon and Kelowna hospital projects in the General Contractor Over $40 Million category. Three winners were selected in most categories for their use of innovative techniques, new materials or exceptional project management and each will receive a silver award. Gold winners will be announced at the 24th Annual VRCA Awards of Excellence gala dinner Oct. 17 at the Vancouver Convention Centre. “The Silver Award winners are true leaders in the industry,” said Keith Sashaw, Vancouver Regional Construction Association President. “They all represent companies that were able to bring projects of the highest calibre in on time and on budget.” The total number of entrants and projects considered in this year’s competition is up over last year, rising from 218 entrants and 43 projects in 2011 to 267 entrants and 67 projects in 2012. Over the 24 years the competition has been in place, the value of the projects has grown tremendously, and the total value of projects considered in this year’s competition represented $2 billion of construction throughout B.C., up 60 per cent from last year’s total, showing that the impact of the 2009 economic downturn on the competition is over with many top quality projects in contention. “The judges were extremely impressed with the high quality of the projects nominated, and have decided to introduce a new category to the competition this year,” said Tony Everett, chair of the adjudication committee. “The Heritage Restoration Award will recognize outstanding accomplishments in the restoration of British Columbia’s heritage buildings, a truly important contribution to our province’s legacy.” Canada’s most trusted mortgage experts

Interior Health collects climate action award Morning Star Staff
Provincial accolades have been handed out to an environmentallyconscious local authority. In recognition of its ongoing commitment to emission reduction and sustainability, B.C.’s Climate Action Secretariat and Carbon Neutral Committee have presented Interior Health (IH) with a 2012 Climate Action Secretariat Award.

The public’s help is needed to protect the Okanagan’s apple industry from a neighbouring pest. Apple maggot (Rhagoletis pomonella), a serious apple pest, is established in the Fraser Valley,GreaterVancouver and Vancouver Island. The Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys of B.C. remain the only commercial apple-producing regions in North America free of this serious pest. “The introduction of these pests would be devastating to the hardworking families

plums) out of the Lower Mainland. ■ If you receive fruit from the Lower Mainland that appears to be infested, contact the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) or a Ministry of Agriculture office. ■ Do not compost any apples that appear to be infested with apple maggot. Place the fruit in a sealed plastic bag and bury it at least 30 cm deep, or take it to the local landfill for burial. Please contact the CFIA at 604 557-4500 if you are planning to move any host fruit or host trees with soil, or host nursery stock, out of the Lower Mainland. Another pest, the apple clearwing moth, (Synanthedon myopaeformis), has been found in Coastal B.C., Cawston, Keremeos, Oliver, North Osoyoos, Kelowna and Belgo. The larvae burrow inside the bark and may not be visible. To prevent this pest from spreading in the Okanagan and Creston Valleys, do not move fruit trees, soil and rootstocks from infested areas. “We all need to do our part in preventing the spread of these pests,” said BoundarySimilkameen MLA John Slater. “The apple industry is very important to the Okanagan and B.C.’s economy; to support our jobs, our food supply, and our farming communities.” ■ Apples are the most valuable edible tree fruit crop in B.C. About 58 per cent of all B.C. orchard land is planted in apples. ■ About 91 per cent of B.C. apples are produced in the ThompsonOkanagan Region, 48 per cent of which is in the Okanagan-Similkameen valleys. ■ B.C. produces about 24 per cent of the apples grown in Canada. The value of B.C. apples is about 45 per cent of all B.C. tree fruit production. ■ More than threequarters of the B.C. apple crop is sold fresh. The rest of the crop is processed. ■ Apple juice is the most popular form of processed apples.

Vernon boosts U13s Morning Star Staff
A pair of Vernon players helped Team B.C. win the Western Canadian Under 13 Boys Soccer Championships last week in Winnipeg. Coached by Darren Rath, B.C. won three games and earned a scoreless draw. Keeper Taitum MacAulay and striker Connor Glennon, both of Vernon, were a big part of the provincial team’s success. “Taitum demonstrated improvement over the month of July playing with the B.C. provincial team and played with great confidence in Winnipeg,” said Rath. “He recorded shutouts versus Saskatchewan and Manitoba and saved three penalty kicks during the post-match penalty kick contest.” On Glennon, Rath said: “Connor was outstanding in every match. He was selected as Man of the Match in our first game versus Alberta North and he scored the game winner in the sudden-death penalty shootout. Connor was selected (one of nine B.C. players) by the CSA coaching staff to play in the Umbro Challenge All-Star game at the end of the tournament (his team won 1-0).” B.C. won the tourney with a 1-0 win over Alberta South as Terrell Smith scored the winner five minutes into the game.

Getting kids in the game
U
sain Bolt’s parents ran a local grocery store in a small town in Jamaica. Bolt spent his time playing cricket and soccer in the street with his brother, and later was quoted as saying: “When I was young, I didn’t really think about anything other than sports”. Bolt didn’t need to hold bottle drives or sell chocolates or Christmas wreaths as he won schoolboy sprint races on his way to stardom. His chosen sport was highly affordable. Same goes for Olympic stars Christine Sinclair, Hope Solo, Ashton Eaton, Jessica Ennis and Michael Phelps. While they may have received special funding along the way, none of them were ever denied a sports registration as a child because their family was poor. Watching the Olympics always jumpstarts exposure for numerous sports we rarely pay attention to during hockey and football season. It’s also a time where dream weavers get their start. Most medalists say
BETWEEN THE LINES
Kevin Mitchell
they hoped as a child, to one day win at the Olympics. My favourite preOlympic story was the piece on Khetag Pliev, who is representing Canada in wrestling at the Olympics. The guy used to sleep on a green bench in Allan Gardens, in downtown Toronto, a patch of green space near a burger joint known locally as “Hooker Harvey’s” and the kind of hotel that rents by the hour. The police presence is high. At night, the park becomes the domain of drug dealers and vagrants. He kept his clothes at a buddy’s house and showered at his wrestling club. But he had nowhere to live. He got some help from his wrestling coach, started reading the Bible and turned his life around.
When visiting his folks in Cincinnati, Pliev trained with UFC fighter Rich Franklin, running kettlebells up hills and dragging a sled laden with weights through the streets. He returned to form, winning three straight national championships. Last December, he qualified for the Olympics. It’s classic stuff. Pliev never medalled in London, but his story should inspire people to help others no matter how hopeless their plight may appear. As our economy keeps tanking and the cost of gas explodes, it’s becoming tougher for families to put their kids in athletics. Enter Greater Vernon KidSport, part of a nationwide charity that believes that no kid should be left on the sidelines and all should be given the opportunity to experience the positive benefits of organized sports. KidSport provides support to children in order to remove financial barriers that prevent them from playing organized sport. In Vernon, they have,
through seven months of 2012, funded almost $25,000 to just under 200 kids in 16 different sports. Recent stats show KidSport issued $7.1 million for 60,000 youngsters in 2009. Last week, Kelowna’s Josh Gorges, a d-man with the Montreal Canadiens, took the NHL’s Goals and Dreams program to Kelowna Minor Hockey. The program, which began 13 years ago by the NHL Players Association, buys equipment and pays registration fees for kids who otherwise couldn’t afford to play minor hockey. “I started thinking this year that I have to start doing more for the community and helping out as much as I can,” Gorges told Black Press Sports. “This is such a good opportunity for me to get involved and help kids that maybe don’t have the opportunity to play hockey like I did. The game has done so much for me.” Gorges, a former Kelowna Rockets’ captain, hopes to help up to 50 kids a year if the
MacAulay collects shutout Continued from A18 “Alberta had many very good players, but our boys passed and ran circles around them,” said Rath. B.C. opened with a scoreless draw against Alberta North. MacAulay was very composed and confident in goal, routinely rushing out to collect the ball, in B.C.’s 5-0 ambush of Saskatchewan. Rick Baer opened the scoring, banging home the ball sitting in the goal area delivered from a corner. Karan Kular then struck a ball from 25 yards into the top left corner before the half.
Kular scored a second goal early in the second half and Carson Ho added two more later. In penalty kicks, Taitum made a terrific save on their first shooter, then the next three of four B.C. shooters scored. B.C. grounded Manitoba 4-0 as they enjoyed an outstanding start with Liam Robinson jumpstarting the offence 25 seconds into the match. Kular scored in the ninth minute for B.C.’s last goal of the first half. The second half was also all B.C. with Marco Favro converting five minutes in and Kular later completing the scoring.
demand is there. The application process for KidSport in Vernon is rather simple. The adult sponsor fills out an application form and takes it to an adjudicator who is familiar with the athlete’s family. It can be a school principal or family doctor.

Now the guys from Fever are getting ready to play in the provincials with their Dodgers team on the Labour Day weekend, and the girls are practising for the provincials with their Gators team the same weekend, both in Kamloops.” Next up for the Fever are the co-ed provincials Sept. 14-16, in Kelowna. The Fever opened nationals with a 9-5 loss to Amp’t from Leduc, last year’s C division winners who scored five times in the top of the seventh.

Zubot steps up for Sista’s Morning Star Staff
Veteran striker Andrea Zubot pulled the hat trick as Sunterra Custom Homes Sista’s rattled Randy’s Rockets 7-4 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 2 action Thursday night at Marshall Field #5. Zubot converted her first goal on a 35-yarder, then went low off the post after Becky Birbilis pushed the ball down the middle and delivered a sweet pass. Zubot nailed the hat trick off a feed from Maddy Demers, curling a beauty roof daddy. The Sista’s first goal came from Demers, who took a pass from Jennie Currie and went high from just inside the 18. Tania Wirachowsky then found the top shelf after a pass by Sharina Zantingh. Wirachowsky wired her second of the night on a hard shot to the corner. Zubot and Carmen Kinniburgh then worked the ball around to Currie for an insurance goal. The Chick Kickers OMG were down to eight players but still managed a 5-0 win over Capri Insurance in other Division 2 play. Goals came from Ashley Smith, Cara Main, Karen Woods, Erica August and Bobbi Catt. Goalkeeping duties were shared by Catt and August as Wendy Nadeau was out with illness. NOU got two goals from slick Pam Powell in a 2-1 win over the ever-improving Centerline Attack. Anna Clarke opened the offence for Centreline from outside the 18, chipping a ball over keeper Dar Wiese’s head as she came way out for the challenge. Tammy L’Heureux was amazing at midfield and defence, stopping multiple threats in the six-yard box on rebounds and ricocheting kicks. In Masters Division play Thursday night, TED United moved one step closer to the division championship by icing the Longhorn Impact 7-4. Cathy Bartsch pulled a hat trick within 15 minutes, including an all-planet goal on a chip shot from a wicked angle, for the 15-0-2 United. Sue Doray (2), Krista Jonker and Liz Mair also scored for United. In other Masters play, the Chick Kickers ambushed visiting Salmon Arm Setters Pub 9-0. Michelle Johnson scored all four first-half goals with Mel Jacobs setting up three of them. Jenny Garnett supplied two goals and four helpers as the first-place Kickers rebounded from their Tuesday loss to the Controllers.
Defender Marilynn Vanderdeen netted her firstever Masters goal, while Shauna Stenquist and Jacobs added singles. Wendy Martens (aka Dead Bug) was instrumental in net for the shorthanded Chicks. In Friday night Masters action on Marshall #1, Rosters bounced Seasons Sista’s 3-2. Deb Whitling, collecting her first goal of the year, opened the scoring for the Sista’s 20 minutes into the first half on a great cross from Andrea Zubot. Kim Sylvester netted Seasons’ other goal after a great throw-in from Wendy Horner. Leslie Williams pulled a couple of defenders with her, allowing Sylvester to break in from the corner of the 18 to place a flip shot above the keeper’s reach. In men’s 50+ league action, Mike Lloyd fired four goals as Vernon Kal Tire stormed Summerland Rockets 6-0 at Reiswig Park in Lake Country. Central midfielder Jenne Huberts set up five goals and ruled the airwaves to earn the Amsterdam Cafe Man of the Match. Striker Mark DeVolder scored twice and went down hard after a heavy collision on a head-ball challenge. Defenders Gord Campbell and Irv Schuur had stellar showings. Geoff Bradbury handled the ball well in recording the shutout. Kal Tire is 12-5-1. The Vernon Silver Stars shaded host West Kelowna 2-1 on a deluxe pitch at Constable Neil Bruce School. John Matejicka opened the scoring on a breakaway for the Stars (7-7-4). The score could have been 2-0 but Dave Gould was stopped on a penalty shot with the keeper guessing right. The West Kelowna boys tied it up before the half on a converted corner kick. Outside midfielder Don Eyers converted on a great cross from Dave Hobbs early in the second half for the winner. The Stars hit crossbars, posts and far away parking lots, but couldn’t get another insurance goal. Keeper Allen Bensmiller, standing in for injured Ray Tims, got a finger on a penalty kick and it deflected right back to the Kelowna striker. Bensmiller also managed to catch the rebound shot. The Stars dedicated the win to teammate Boris Pasieka, who is recovering in hospital from a heart attack.

League wrapped up its season with a thrilling final which saw the Checkers Brewers rally past the Wildcats 20-8. The regular-season champion Wildcats had to come through the B side in the playoffs to force a suddendeath final by defeating the Brewers in the first game 12-3. Dan Novakowski and Jessie Harms both went 3-for-4 to spark the Wildcats. In the final, it looked like the Wildcats might pull off the upset going into the fifth inning with an 8-7 lead. The perennial playoff champion Brew Crew stormed back in the bottom of the fifth with 13 runs to put the game out of reach. The veteran-laden Brewers were led by Jerry Bifano with an inside-the-park home run and Kenny Smith with a walk-off monster dinger to tame the Wildcats.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Review your goals carefully, because several objectives that you thought unreachable could be well within your grasp. Don’t waste any time hit the bricks! SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Don’t be hesitant about asserting your authority when you believe a certain situation warrants it. Anything that you don’t control can just as easily jump up and take over. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Some kind of domestic situation that has caused you and your family considerable discomfort can be improved upon today by openly discussing it with all concerned. Don’t hold anything back. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) There is a huge difference between seeing what you want to see and looking at things realistically. You need to view life objectively without being morose about it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) If you are anticipating certain remuneration for a service rendered another, you had better spell out the terms in writing beforehand. It’ll avoid any misunderstanding later. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Try to keep uppermost in your mind that certain activities should be engaged in just for fun and relaxation. Do not
take yourself or the events of the day too seriously. ARIES (March 21-April 19) There is no need to have any qualms about your presence being felt. All you have to do is put yourself out on behalf of others and you’ll be both noticed and appreciated.

Writer weaves old yarns and stories Armstrong’s Norman Ouston has some funny stories to tell in his new book Morning Star Staff
Norman Ouston has done a lot of things in his life and he shares them in his book, OH MY! Now I’ve Done It. Ouston, who lives in Armstrong and Mexico with his wife, Jackie, started by writing his tales in e-mails to family and friends. They encouraged him to put everything together in a book and he did just that, including photographs. The chapters range from what is known in the family as the Shotgun Story, which happened when he was 11, to life on the farm, to dealing with Mexican spiders, to his creative 70th birthday plans to stretch himself back to full adult height. He tells about all the people, animals, machinery and things that happened to him along the way.
The casual, informal style of the original pieces makes for easy reading. He recalls his paragliding experiences, including a crash landing into a crocodile-infested lagoon, a 55th school reunion, having a Mexican friend visit Armstrong, a motorcycle incident and the many active years. “A person who publishes his own work gives no guarantees that the quality of written material is the absolute best or there may be any prime delicate reading. There is no assurance of suitable substance for oral recitation, educational value or useful ideas portrayed. It is made up of just yarns and stories,” he wrote on the back of the book cover. “Now you see, these yarns are but a few ramblings of an old dude who writes about things he should have done. Things he shouldn’t have done. And some incidences where he did something totally frivolous and ridiculous, but all with good intentions.” Order copies of OH MY! Now I’ve Done It at norman 222@hotmail.com, by calling 250-546-8240 or writing 4820 Stepney Road, Armstrong, B.C. V0E 1B8.
Armstrong’s Norman Ouston has just written his first book, OH MY! Now I’ve Done it.

’m on the rock. The northernmost part of Newfoundland is a long peninsula on the west side of the island populated mostly by descendants of the Irish-English fishermen that came to fish the cod, but stayed to live on the wild coasts in bays, bights and coves raising their families and sustaining them through many hard times by sheer will power, hard work and determination. We visited L’anse Aux Meadows last Sunday, an archeological site almost at the tip of the Northern Peninsula where Vikings first came in the ninth century, long before Columbus showed up to discover America. They came mostly to cut timber for their tree-deprived settlements in Iceland and Greenland and to secure iron for their tools. They stayed only 10 years but left indisputable evidence of Pat Black their brief occupation and this settlement has been declared a World Historic Site and is beautifully preserved. This environment in the north is amazing and reminds me of Alaska with stunted black spruce stands in abundance, replaced by bog, ponds and rock as we travel the roads, the sea appearing and disappearing as we climb up the steep cliffs and back down into numerous ports, once separated but now joined by this ribbon of gravel, dirt and pavement. Brightly painted fishing boats line the small local harbours, the crab and lobster pots lined up and ready for the next season. One of the fishing villages we visited on the north east tip of the peninsula was Conche. First settled by renegade French sailors, it is now populated by mostly Irish-Catholics and is a tight, close community with frequent social gatherings. In the spring, ice bergs float in the harbour and sometimes you can

hear whales at night according to the residents. While on the Northern Peninsula we stayed at a lodge located on a large forested strip of land between the shores of a small lake and a deep bay of the ocean. The big main twostorey building was constructed of polished pine logs with long verandas and bay windows and attached annexes. The dining room and kitchen were located in this building as well as a massive sitting room with the proverbial large stone fireplace. A polar bear skin overlooked the tourists dining while a caribou head on the opposite wall kept it company. Close by, an additional large pine building also provided luxurious sleeping accommodations, with several other small buildings scattered about this forest- surrounded settlement. It was a fabulous setting on the side of a hill that gradually sloped to the lake where the sound of loons calling echoed in the early morning and at dusk. It doesn’t get better than this folks! Tuesday we started back down the peninsula to Corner Brook, the only large town on the west side of Newfoundland, to stay in a house on the side of a mountain for the remainder of the trip before we leave on Saturday for Toronto. Early this evening we are going on a fishing boat to look for whales, seabirds and whatever else we can find while we listen to Newfie jigs, reels and incredible stories. My time away in the east is almost over and I fly home to Vernon next week. It has been a wonderful trip and I wouldn’t have missed it for the world, but there is something about coming home that is so heart-comforting and I can hardly wait to round that last curve on the road from Kelowna to see the distant Monashee Mountains marching by and view my beloved hometown of Vernon. If you have any comments or questions you can reach me by e-mail: blackmail1@telus.net.

SCHOOL’S IN
the rising cost of tuition fees, at least the B.C. government isn’t willing to let costs increase dramatically - which is part of the problem in Quebec. Both the United States and England have allowed substantial increases in tuition to offset costs. In England in 1998 students paid about $2,500 per year. By 2010 this amount increased to approximately $5,300. Due to rising costs and a not-sogreat British economy, the government lifted the tuition cap and by 2012 64 universities in England increased their annual tuition fees to $14,500. This increase was significant enough to stop a number of students from going to university and in some cases for those already enrolled it stopped them from continuing and subsequently graduating. The United States has had similar increases where tuition at public
four-year colleges went up 73 per cent since 1999. Most of these costs were attributed to state budget cuts, and a shift away from government support to placing the financial burden on the student and their family. Many publicly-funded colleges and universities were able to raise their tuition fees with very little backlash from the government. Now with the recent recession, tuition has increased even more. Tuition at American institutions varies from $5,000 to $50,000 per year (at Okanagan College students will pay approximately $3,100 in tuition if they are enrolled in our university transfer program). Washington State, California and New York have the highest fees for state universities. The University of California Berkley, Los Angeles and San Diego campuses have had tuition increases between 40 and 43 per cent since 2009.
Regardless of whether tuition is $1 or $50,000 it will always be an issue for students, their families and the institutions that set these fees. In most countries, tuition barely covers these costs – in B.C. on average the tuition students pay covers about 27 per cent. Most of the rest is covered by government support – that means you and me, working Canadians. Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College. Comments can be forwarded to jmuskens@ okanagan.bc.ca

Get your kids to pack a picnic CATHI LITZENBERGER Special to The Morning Star
S
ummertime and picnics go together like peanut butter and jam, or graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows to a bonfire, or maybe like fried chicken and potato salad... you get the picture. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re into the sixth week of school holidays and the kids usually begin to get a little restless and even bored at this stage of summer. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect time to get them involved in helping prepare a picnic basket and heading out to the beach or Polson Park. Or if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave home, take a picnic blanket and a pretty table cloth and spread the table cloth on the blanket in the shade in your own backyard. Little kids especially love this. Bring along some activities to your picnic, like a frisbee or ball and gloves, maybe a crochet set or perhaps a bocci ball game; something age appropriate. It is always a good idea to include a craft for a quieter activity as well. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that the kids help in the preparations as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll learn an appreciation for the effort required and some skills in food prep. They can help choose the menu, cut out fancy sandwiches, or even simply help wash the vegetables and fruit. Picnic foods can be as simple or as complex as you wish, anything from peanut butter and jam sandwiches and a piece of fruit, to chicken and potato salad. Just use your imagination, keeping in mind who itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipes are all good for picnics because modern picnic baskets contain cooling abilities unheard of in our parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dill-iciousâ&#x20AC;? Corn & Potato Salad (courtesy Kraft Foods) 1/2 cup Miracle Whip
PHOTO BY CATHI LITZENBERGER
Two-year-old Zoe Silbernagel, from Calgary, enjoys some special treats at a backyard picnic by the lake. Calorie-Wise Spread 2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh dill 2 tbsp. white vinegar 3 ears corn on the cob, cooked, cooled 1-1/2 lb. (675 g) new potatoes, quartered, cooked and cooled 2 cups cut fresh green beans (one-inch lengths), blanched Mix first three ingredients in large bowl. Cut kernels from corn ears. Add to Miracle Whip mixture with remaining ingredients; mix lightly. Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Potato Salad 6 red potatoes Place potatoes in a pot. Cover with water and put the lid on. Boil for about 30- 45 minutes or until tender. Test with a fork or knife to see if it pierces eas-
ily. Pour off the hot water and replace with cold water. Let the potatoes cool before cutting into chunks and proceed with the dressing. Dressing: Use your own judgment to decide if this is enough dressing for your potato salad. Naturally, a lot will depend on the size of your potatoes. I usually use a ratio of about two parts oil to one part vinegar, or sometimes three parts oil to one part vinegar. You decide whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for you and your family. 1/4 cup olive oil 1/8 cup red wine vinegar Salt, freshly ground black pepper to taste 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/4 cup red onion, minced 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
Handful of minced parsley Blend all of the above together with a fork or a whisk and mix into the potatoes. Toss in the parsley and mix well. Chill well. Spicy Baked Picnic Chicken Cooking spray 1 cup buttermilk 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix, divided 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 cup bread crumbs 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional) 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves or equivalent amount of chicken fillets Preheat the oven to 375
degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a broiler pan with cooking spray. Whisk buttermilk, 1 teaspoon taco seasoning, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Mix remaining taco seasoning, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, flour, onion powder, salt, and black pepper together in a separate bowl. Dip chicken into buttermilk mixture; coat with bread crumbs mixture. Place coated chicken in broiler pan. Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the centre and coating is crispy, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cool completely. Easy Peanut Butter & Chocolate Eclair Dessert 1 pkg. (4-serving size) Jell-O vanilla instant pudding 1-3/4 cups cold milk 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter 3 cups thawed Cool Whip whipped topping 45 Honey Maid graham wafers 6 squares Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semi-sweet chocolate 3 tbsp. butter Beat pudding mix and milk in large bowl with whisk for two minutes. Add peanut butter; mix well. Stir in Cool Whip. Layer 1/3 of the wafers and half the pudding mixture in 13x9-inch dish, breaking wafers as necessary to fit. Repeat layers. Top with remaining wafers. Microwave chocolate and butter in microwaveable bowl on medium for 1-1/2 min. or until butter is melted, stirring after one minute. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Spread over wafers. Refrigerate eight hours. Tips: Substitute peanut butter for Nutella spread, or omit altogether. Can be made with chocolate instant pudding as well. Summer Special

Cheering on our Olympians
I
love watching the Olympics. I cheer, I cry, I yell at the TV, and wish I was there. Secretly, I wish I could have competed but I have never been good enough or liked any sport enough to work so very hard to get there. I admire those with both the talent and determination and it takes buckets of both. Many athletes are talented, but you have to have a deep well of determination, inner Michele Blais strength, commitment, resilience, personal belief in your power, and a great team around you. The commitment that these athletes and their families, coaches, and their communities make is phenomenal. I really felt for Simon Whitfield when he was taken out of the triathlon by the horrible fall. He spoke about his wife and their sacrifices and how disappointing this would be. I betcha she was still pretty proud that he was even there in the lineup, in the uniform, present and accounted for. Athletes take huge risks. There are so many skills that we can use and develop through sports that transfer to daily living, from the training to the competition
THE WAY I SEE IT
itself -- challenging oneself over and over again to be the best you can be. There will be many youngsters pretending they are at the Olympics in sports fields, backyards, and streets around the world. Many will be inspired to try to make it to the Olympics and I hope they do. It’s a dream with a big cost physically, emotionally and financially, but if weren’t for those dreamers no one would be there now. Not only do the athletes dream big, so do the coaches, organizations, and planning committees. “We’re competitors. We come here and we give it our best and we give ourselves hope,” said the Canadian woman’s wrestling coach. They give others hope as well. The Olympics were to be a way to bring nations together with the idea of the sports field being where the battles were fought, and we were together for peace and camaraderie. Duke it out and then meet together, sharing the love of the competition and the sport. “I believe in the power from the world brought together as one.” The young man from Cyprus who won the country’s first medal since the country started to compete in 1980 was greeted with a huge welcome when he arrived home. People were cheering, laughing, and dancing in celebrating
his silver medal in laser sailing. The Olympics and his win were a distraction from their deep recession and serious troubles. His medal brings hope of better days ahead. Hope that there are no bombs, or murders or horrible incidents that have nothing to do with the sports at the games. There will be enough horrible incidents on the tracks, over the hurdles, equestrian fields, soccer matches, bike races etc. with the athletes. There will also be amazing moments of triumph, best in the world, best 30 in the world, being there, wearing your country’s uniform. Proud, be proud of our athletes and their teams. Be proud that despite our misplaced battles on the streets and in war zones that we can still come together as nations to celebrate and participate in games –– to play. I struggle with the costs of hosting an Olympics because there are so many fundamental needs like food, shelter, health care, yet I know that these events have great value as well. And when I hear that little tune “ I Believe” and Brian Williams’ voice, I perk up, and when I see the red and white uniforms and Canadian flag, I am so proud. “I believe in the power of you and I.”

Joel Macaulay, centre, of Armstrong, with younger brothers, Adam, left, and Ari, will have his wish come true when he visits Jerusalem with his family starting Monday, thanks to Make-A-Wish BC & Yukon.
Make-A-Wish grants teen a trip to Israel CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
The cancer treatment was an unpleasant reality but planning his dream trip to Israel helped Joel Macaulay get through it. “When Make-A-Wish BC & Yukon visited me in Vancouver Children’s Hospital, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I decided that I wanted to go somewhere far way and somewhere with a lot of history, so I chose a trip to Israel,” said Macaulay, 18, of Armstrong who will take the week-long trip with his family, including younger brothers, Adam and Ari, starting Monday. He was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia on Nov. 30, 2010, after feeling tired and losing weight. Within a week, he was on his way to Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, where the first phase of treatment, which was supposed to take nine months, took more than a year because of complications. “He basically lived in
Vancouver during that time but was able to come home for visits after about four months,” said his mother, Kirsten Macaulay. “Joel is currently six months into the maintenance phase of treatment, which will go on for another two years before he is finished treatment. He currently has daily chemo and needles at home. He gets chemo once a month at the Vernon hospital and every three months, he goes down to Vancouver for treatment.” This is the first time that the BC chapter of Make-A-Wish has ever granted a wish for a trip to Jerusalem. The Israeli chapter of Make-A-Wish is assisting with local arrangements. “I grew up going to church and Sunday school and I thought it would be very relevant for me to hear all those stories again while standing in the very place where they happened. I am very excited to be able to share this trip with my family, especially my little brothers who have never
been on an airplane before,” said Macaulay. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me and I am very grateful to Make-A-Wish for making this dream come true for me.” Since 1983, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of BC & Yukon has made almost 2,500 wishes come true for kids battling a lifethreatening condition. Each wish provides a child and their immediate family with a carefree and joyful experience that is far from the inherent stress and anxiety of having a life-threatening medical experience. The goal is to refocus attention with an experience that the family might not otherwise have. For more information about the Make-A-Wish Foundation of BC & Yukon, including referring a child to the program, participating in the Adopt-A-Wish program, or to donate in-kind gifts of goods or services, call 604-688-7944 or see www.makeawishbc.ca.

Singer/improviser Doug Koyama speaks his own language Morning Star Staff
JOSEPH CRUZ PHOTO
Vocalist Doug Koyama performs his improvised a cappella using a loop pedal at the Talkin’ Donkey coffee house on Tuesday.
Solo musicians are used to standing alone on the stage –– maybe with a guitar in hand or piano at the fingers. But lately, there’s been the surge of a new way to accompany the voice –– through the use of a loop pedal. The little device, usually activated by a switch pressed by the foot, is a digital sampler that enables a musician to record a sound, then create loops and overdub, making it seem as if he or she has a backing band, or vocals. Those wanting an example of a singer using a loop pedal in an inventive way may want to head to the Talkin’ Donkey coffee house in Vernon Tuesday. Singing improvised a cappella (without backing instrumentation), Quesnel’s Doug Koyama uses a loop pedal to create his unique vocal effects. He sings about life, peace, love and truth but you would never know it from the lyrics in his songs. The actual words are replaced by invented language and
sounds that, at times, sound more like Spanish, French, Russian or Klingon rather than English. “It’s very unique and compelling. I have seen the popularity of the work grow steadily in the last few years,” said Koyama, emailing from Wells, B.C., where he was part of the recent ArtsWells Festival. Music and singing have always been a part of Koyama’s life, but never more than performing in musical theatre and in the shower. In 2009, he was introduced to improvised a cappella, and he soon developed the desire to sing in a multi-voice setting, which ultimately went to the use of a loop pedal. Emitting improvised sounds, Koyama’s voice is recorded and looped. Bits of melody, harmony and vocal percussion are layered to create rich bed tracks over which soaring harmonies and verse and chorus are performed. “Each song is completely improvised from beginning to end,” said Koyama. “Vocal improv is about connecting with
others and the earth. When we sing together those vibrations resonate in all of us but also in the spaces between us and the space around us. We form a single chorus and the healing magic of song radiates out from us in all directions.” Koyama is enjoying a busy summer performing at ArtsWells as well as the Smithers Midsummer Festival, Sweetwater 905, Arts on the Fly, as well as at farmer’s markets and cafés throughout B.C. Earlier this year he was featured on CBC Radio’s North by Northwest, hosted by Cheryl MacKay, who said “When Doug Koyama enters a room you know it. His boundless energy, his warmth and enthusiasm are quickly evident. And then his music. Doug weaves sound with his voice and some looping technology. The music is mesmerizing, hypnotic and joyful all at once. He has a passion for singing and getting others to sing along.” Koyama plays the Talkin’ Donkey, located at 3923 - 32nd St., Tuesday from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Admission is by donation.

Mine on their 22-yearold daughter Nora and her letters to them from college. After graduating from Wellesley College in 1962, Ephron worked briefly as an intern in the White House of President John F. Kennedy. After a satire she wrote lampooning The New York Post caught the editor’s eye, Ephron landed a job at the Post, where she stayed as a reporter for five years. Her talent for humorous writing was becoming increasingly popular, so it was not surprising that her first published collections of essays, Wallflower at the Orgy (1970) and Crazy Salad (1975), were well received. Ephron’s career started to take off in 1983, with the publication of Heartburn, her autobiographic novel about the breakup of her marriage to investigative reporter Carl Bernstein (of Watergate fame). The thinly disguised events that led to the writing of Ephron’s first novel were her husband’s affair with Margaret Jay, now Baroness Jay of Paddington and a former leader of the House of Lords, then the wife of Peter Jay, the British Ambassador to the U.S. from 1976 to 1979. Ephron was seven months pregnant with her second child when she discovered Bernstein’s ongoing affair with Jay. Heartburn was a bestseller, and Ephron went on to write a screen adaptation released in 1986 that starred Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep. She had already experienced success as a screenwriter, with her first Oscar nomination for Silkwood in 1983. While that film received much praise, Ephron hit box office gold in 1989 with her screenplay for When Harry Met Sally, which led to another Academy Award nomination.

Tiny blood vessels, called capillaries in our skin become more fragile and are more likely to rupture. Also the skin contains less fat so there is less protection for the capillaries. Even though we bruise more easily as we age, your doctor should be consulted if you have large painful bruises or bruises that come on suddenly. Heartburn results when the valve that shuts off the tube to the stomach doesn’t seal well enough and allows the food to come back up the tube (esophagus). Because that food has been mixing with stomach acid, this regurgitation causes the burning feeling in the esophagus. If heartburn becomes chronic, see your doctor. If you have to give your child a medication that doesn’t taste that good, try giving a cold treat like a Popsicle before and after giving the medicine. The cold will help numb the taste buds and make the bad taste less noticeable. Our pharmacists feel that keeping current with all the latest advances in medicine and pharmacy is important. It enables us to serve you better. Have Your Prescriptions Filled With Us

REEL REVIEWS
Goodbye to a great Continued from page B6 In 1992, Ephron directed her first film, This is My Life, which was generally wellreceived, but it was her work writing and directing such hit movies as Sleepless in Seattle (for which she received her third Oscar nomination for screenwriting), You’ve Got Mail, and most recently, Julie and Julia that brought her the most acclaim. In typical Ephron fashion, she was once quoted as saying, “One of the best things about directing movies, as opposed to merely writing them, is that there’s no confusion about who’s to blame: you are.” In 2006, Ephron returned to her essayist roots with I Feel Bad about My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman, offering her readers a comic look at aging and other issues.
Another hilarious collection of essays, I Remember Nothing and Other Reflections, followed in 2010. Ephron died from pneumonia, caused by acute myeloid leukemia, on June 26, 2012, at the age of 71. She is survived by her husband of nearly 25 years, screenwriter Nicholas Pileggi, and her two sons, Jacob and Max Bernstein.

Wimpy Kid Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon) charts his memorable summer in his diary. heard of the Wimpy Kid stories, she said, in a text, “Yeah. What about them?” I said, “I don’t know anything about them, would you like to go to the movie with me?” She said, “No.” At that point I thought I might be in trouble, but I found myself smiling throughout the whole film. Dog Days is a successful, effective, safe little film. HOWE: I find the connection between

Greg and his older brother Rodrick very realistic, the love-hate relationship for instance. I can remember fighting with my three brothers all the time growing up but I knew they would be there for me if I needed them. TAYLOR: I found the whole thing a bit cartoony, as if the actors we’re expected to overact a bit, but it still seemed to work well enough. HOWE: I don’t think Dog Days is the best one of the three. It did make me smile a lot and the 90 minutes or so flew past. They should be able to get a couple more films out of this franchise before people get bored of it or when Greg isn’t wimpy anymore. ––Taylor gives Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days 3 dog dish misnomers out of 5. –– Howe gives it 3 broken tents out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas, Vernon.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days 3
B8 Sunday, August 12, 2012 - The Morning Star
Arts Artist returns to give workshop LAKE COUNTRY –– Internationally acclaimed artist Kristy Gordon is teaching a three-day portrait painting workshop at the Winfield United Church, Aug. 21 to 23. The workshop is a unique opportunity for students of all levels to learn the process of painting portraits in oils. “The course will centre on the experience of painting from life in the manner of the classical masters of antiquity,” said Gordon, who will demonstrate how to achieve a better likeness as well as how to paint convincing flesh tones and render textures like cloth and hair. “Each day will include a painting demonstration, discussion and individual instruction at the easel. Discussions will include proportion and structure of the head, stages to developing a painting, as well as form, shape, value, edges, balance, unity, light and modeling with colour temperature.” Gordon is returning to B.C. after spending two and a half months on an artist residency in China. She is bringing new inspiration from her experience in Shanghai and Beijing to the workshop, as well as the experience she has gained since moving to New York City last September. Gordon has assisted many master painters such as Odd Nerdrum, Yuqi Wang and Jeremy Lipking and her teaching combines the wisdom
of these artists. In the last couple of years, she has had paintings on the rental wall of the Vernon Public Art Gallery and has donated artwork to the gallery’s annual fundraiser, Midsummer Eve of the Arts. Gordon exhibits her paintings internationally. Her work has earned numerous prestigious awards including the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant, an award of excellence from the Portrait Society of America, a merit award from Daniel Greene in the Salon International 2009, third prize at the Portrait Society of Canada International Portrait Competition, and best of show in the National Art Premier, Illinois. She has been widely featured in numerous magazines, art publications, radio and television shows, including The Artist’s Magazine’s 28th Annual Art Competition, Southwest Art’s Emerging Artist: 21 Under 31 and Bravo!’s Star Portraits. Her paintings hang in more than 400 collections worldwide, including the Government of Ontario Art Collection. Gordon is currently represented by Galerie L’oeil du Prince in Paris and Cube Gallery in Ottawa. Her work can be viewed at www.kristygordon.com. To register for the workshop, or for further information, contact Bev Gordon by email at beverleybobshe@ yahoo.ca.

Summertime Safety for your Pet Find a cool spot …
Moderately Confused
Dogs only sweat through the pads of their feet and cool their internal temperature by panting. Never leave your friend in a parked vehicle. Even if you leave the window down a bit, the temperature outside may be 21˚ C but in no time the interior can get as high as 66˚ C. If the air temperature outside is 27˚ C, the asphalt that your pet is walking on is 54˚ C and the sidewalk is 43˚C.
Bridge by Phillip Alder ONE LOSER TOO MANY, BUT NO ESCAPE A.C. Benson, an English essayist, poet and author who died in 1925, said, “All the best stories are but one story in reality: the story of escape. It is the only thing that interests us all and at all times, how to escape.” In this week’s deals, declarer has been in a trump contract with one loser more in his hand than he could afford. He has either been able to discard that extra loser on a winner in the dummy, or to ruff it in the dummy, or to discard a loser from the dummy and then to ruff his loser in the dummy. Today’s deal, though, does not fit any of those
scenarios. What does South do in seven hearts after West leads the spade king? North’s auction was agricultural. (The immediate four no-trump contravened one of the rules of Blackwood because he had no diamond control and could not be sure his partner had a firstor second-round control in that suit.) There are only 12 tricks: one spade, six hearts, three diamonds and two clubs. There seems to be no way to avoid a club loser. Well, there is just one: run all the winners and hope an opponent makes a wrong discard. After cashing one spade, six hearts and three diamonds, South retains
the spade jack and kingdoubleton of clubs. North has three clubs. But what can West keep? He cannot hold the spade queen and three clubs. He has been squeezed. And declarer need not count anything; he just watches for the spade queen. If he has not seen that card, he tries to run the clubs.
Heat stroke is caused by an increase in body temperature which can occur because of hot and or humid conditions. Signs of heat stroke are rapid panting, hot skin, twitching muscles and a dazed appearance. If this occurs remove your pet from the hot environment, wrap them in a cool, soaked towel and seek veterinary care. So please keep in mind the next time you decide to take your pet to the beach, park or the trip to the grocery store, that as innocent as our intentions are, there are important risks to consider when dealing with hot weather and the safety of our pets. — Dr. Miles Latwat DVM

Tannery takes natural approach Morning Star Staff
It takes brains to tan a hide, says Suzan Purdy. As the owner of Vernon’s Blue Mountain Tannery, she is not kidding. “Brain matter is what I use – it’s free, it’s already measured out, makes the softest leather and it is eco-friendly,” said Purdy. She transforms the hides into natural rawhide (de-haired, untanned hide), traditionally tanned leather and soft, supple pelts. These she can then turn into quality handmade custom leather products such as rattles, drums, purses, pouches, bracelets and arm bands. “Just about any creative idea I can come up with, including a six-foot long bull snake I turned into a staff,” said Purdy, who also works with feather to make hair pieces. She also does artistic work in bone. “I see usefulness in — Suzan all of nature’s bounty. Fur and feathers, greenwood and bones are some of the natural ingredients of my creations,” she added. Purdy jumpstarted her business by entering the North Okanagan Employment Enhancement Society’s (NOEES) selfemployment program (now operated by Community Futures North Okanagan). She shares her knowledge by hosting rawhide drum and rattle workshops. Purdy says there are many methods of tanning hides naturally, which makes a lot of sense considering it is a skill that has been practised by different civilizations for millennia. However, according to Wikipedia, approximately 85 per cent of the world’s leather is tanned using chromium salts, whose poten-
tially hazardous chemical properties (and associated disposal concerns), have become a source of controversy. “There are many formulas for tanning – tree barks, eggs, alum, other oils, and some tanners even use a combination of battery acids and salt,” said Purdy, who has experimented with neatsfoot oil (rendered and purified oil from the shin bones and feet of cattle) and eggs. “It’s the fatty acids in the brain matter that penetrate the hide and produce the soft suppleness.” To create her tanning mixture, Purdy mashes brain matter and blends it with a bit of water. She then spreads it on a hide and leaves it for 24 hours. The hide is then rinsed and painstakingly worked so it remains soft as it dries. “Sometimes the process is repeated if good penetration is not achieved the first time,” explained Purdy Purdy. “The softening process is very labour intensive.” Much like the tanning process itself, Purdy’s interest comes naturally. “My grandfather was a game guide, my great grandmother made baskets and I have always been interested in feathers and hides, collecting them and wondering how to preserve for future use,” said Purdy. “I tried my hand at tanning when my son, David, shot his first deer and it turned out great. Friends started to ask if I would do a hide for them.” Purdy is at the Cherryville Farmers’ Market, which operates Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. She graciously accepts donated hides from hunters interested in recycling.
“I see usefulness in all of nature’s bounty.”

Houle: Smart planning key for small business success Morning Star Staff
Smart planning is crucial to the success of small business, says Roger Houle, assistant vice-president of commercial banking at Valley First Credit Union. Making up more than 47 per cent of all companies in the Southern Interior, small business is a key economic driver in the region. Houle says that while there is a certain allure to being your own boss, creating success relies on more than just a good idea. “I’m sure many of us dream about calling the shots on our own work,” said Houle.
“Unfortunately, starting a business is more complex than having a good idea. There are many unforeseen challenges that can sidetrack and derail an entrepreneur long before sales begin to roll in.” With more than 30 per cent of start-ups failing after the first year, Houle said the keys to success lie in the preparation, in particular creating a business plan, unearthing hidden costs and securing financing. “After you decide to start your own business, the first step is to create a business plan. Your plan should detail elements such

as target market and competition, product or service price, marketing strategies, costs for starting your business and cash flow projections. “It’s equally important to determine what you will be measuring the success of your business along the way so you know whether you’re meeting your goals.” By completing a business plan, a new business owner will likely discover things that they did not think about initially, allowing them to fully grasp the extent of what is required to start a successful business.
“It’s like building a house; you need to have all the permits, plans and designs in place before you even break ground,” said Houle. Understanding your capital requirements is another vital element to success, added Houle. “It seems like a straight-forward concept, but this is where many great start-ups fall short,” said Houle. “Whether it’s through a bank loan, personal resources or investors, knowing how you are going to pay the bills is as important as what you plan to sell.”

Gorman Bros. nominated Morning Star Staff
Lumbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gorman Bros. Lumber Ltd. is among 42 finalists for the ninth Power Smart Excellence Awards. The bi-annual awards recognize best-in-class energy conservation leadership and innovation from B.C. Hydro customers in commercial, government and industrial sectors, as well as retail and industry partners.

Through a series of six energyefficiency feasibility studies, Gorman Bros. have identified more than 4.3 gigawatt hours in potential savings opportunities, of which 2.1 have
already been implemented. They have identified key performance indicators for energy efficiency objectives to drive reductions in operational costs; their energy manager has a performance component in his contract; and there is an employee awareness engagement program across their multiple mill sites. There are 10 other Power Smart Awards categories â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Leadership Excellence; Energy Conservation Commitment; Energy Manager; New Construction; Conservation Partner; New Technology; Consumer Product Manufacturer; National Retailer; Regional Retailer; and the Larry Bell Award for Advancing Energy Conservation.

Special To The Morning Star
FRANCE - Every other year, I house-sit for French friends who live in Provence. This region is founded on a history going back to the ancient world, which still shapes it today. A year ago, I decided to trace the story of Aix en Provence’s natural hot springs and discover their influence on the town. Long before early humans migrated north from Africa, hot springs bubbled through rocky cracks in a parched land, forming pools where moss and ferns flourished. Millennia later, our forebears walked around the great inland sea and trekked westward. One group stopped by the springs to rest. They never left. The community thrived and more migrants arrived. Eventually, tribes formed. Artifacts excavated here show habitation from 6000 BCE. In 125 BCE, when their descendants threatened Massalia, a port founded by the ancient Greeks, the occupying Romans destroyed the tribal settlement. The Roman consul Sextius Calvinus, yearning for a traditional Roman bath, selected the hot springs site for the first Roman garrison in southern Gaul, calling it Aquae Sextiae, the waters of Sextius. Pax Romana brought roads, fora, arenas, and aqueducts to the region, many of which exist today. So, of course, do the hot springs. They still gurgle from the rocks under Aix in southern France, near Marseille, ancient Massalia, supplying some of Aix’s fountains with their 34 C water. Armed with the history I’d read, I begin my quest for the springs’ source in old Aix by the fountain in La Place des Prêcheurs, Preachers’ Square. Market stalls are pressed cheek by jowl, hiding the fountain except for its obelisk. This one commemorates Sextius. I meander up the narrow, pedestrian-only streets lined with small stores and galleries to discover what St-Sauveur Cathedral can tell me about the hot springs. I admire the 1661 astronomic clock tower and walk into Aix’s flower market. Further on, the cathedral’s stones glow gold in the sunshine. Small as cathedrals go, this has been a sacred site even before the Roman occupation. The Roman baths were next door and archaeologists recently discovered conduits
JULIE AND JAMES FERGUSON PHOTOS
Visitors (above) have lunch on Aqua Bella’s terrace after a morning in the spa while people (below) gather around the garden and pool at the Aqua Bella Hotel in front of Le Tour Tourreluque. that carried water from the hot springs to a 6th century, deep octagonal basin in the stone floor. Here new believers were baptized at Easter with full immersion and surfaced as Christians “born to new life.” If you’re quiet, the spirits whisper in Latin. My quest continues into an area of old Aix named Thermes Sextius. I march along the restored Roman rampart, close by the cathedral, into the garden of the Aqua Bella Hotel where the wall and a medieval tower becomes the backdrop to a swimming pool. Quite a setting for a hotel pool, I think, and soon discover the pool is fed by the hot springs. I’m getting close to my goal. The hotel’s assistant manager offers to show me the hot pool in the newly renovated indoor spa. “Yes!” he says. “This water comes directly from the springs below.” As I regard the ultra-modern spa with disappointment, the guests soaking in the pool are intrigued by my guide’s explanation. They had no inkling of the origin and significance of the hot springs in which they luxuriate. The only nod to the hot tub’s Roman connection is newly installed mosaic decor. “Can I see the source?” I ask. The manager responds with a Gallic shrug. “It’s only a pipe well below
the hotel’s foundations.” I sigh – no romance in that. However, even without romance, the hot springs still exert their ancient magic, drawing thousands of guests to take the waters in Aix and to enjoy the offerings of this modern spa hotel. At lunch, the terrace is packed with red-faced people in terry robes ordering steak frites (fries) and fattening desserts after a morning of expensive massages and cures. When Sextius harnessed Aix’s hot springs for his own
pleasure, he cannot have imagined their reach before and after his time. The waters are directly responsible for Aix’s longevity, its fountains, and its expansion in the Renaissance, to say nothing of today’s tourism. The endless springs have poured out their sustenance and comfort for the early humans from Africa to the current Aixois. Even I have been nourished by their bounty.

Our beautiful Chelsea and her perfect new baby boy Carter passed away suddenly in Vernon, B.C. on August 1, 2012 at the age of 28. Chelsea was born and raised in Calgary.

Gordon William Fraser Sept 22, 1919 July 22, 2012
Gone on a new adventure, with his favorite dog and a new map, Gordon William Fraser glided away from his roles of Father, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather and Great-Great-Grandfather on July 22, 2012 at the North Okanagan Hospice House. Piano player, explorer of rivers, lover of maps, constant student of the universe, great wonderer, Gordon taught his family well the importance of asking questions, assuming a posture of curiosity about so many things. Natures unending complexity, distilled to the shape of mountains, courses of waterways, innate wisdom of creatures and the cycling of the seasons. Thank you Grandpa for being such a teacher, for the constancy of your presence in our lives, for your generosity with time and wisdom. We will miss you. We honour you by our wave to you and wish for a safe journey. Gordon’s family will gather in the fall for a meal and celebration at the side of the river, where we will release his cremated remains into the water, through which he will eventually meet the sea ~ a landlocked sailor released at last. Those who will celebrate Gordon’s life: Sharon Webb, Ed Broza, Deb Leroux, Rachelle Leroux, Brian Zelaney, Averie Zelaney, Lindsay Leroux, Cameron Fellows, Carla Fellows, Zeb Fellows, and Wyatt Fellows.

Phyllis was meticulous with her household accounts, with records going back ¿fty years. She was proud of her Norwegian heritage and brought homemade lefse to family gatherings. Phyllis completed business college in Edmonton, Alta. in 1951. While in Vernon, she worked at the medical health unit and the accounting ¿rm of Collins & Collins (now BDO).
The Memorial Service will be held at Knox Presbyterian Church on Thursday, August 16th, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. with Rev. Teresa Charlton officiating. A reception will follow at the church.
Phyllis loved to golf and curl. For well over thirty-¿ve years, she golfed over one hundred rounds a year at the Spallumcheen Golf Club. She was a member of the seniors’ women’s curling team that played in the provincial playdowns on several occasions.
Flowers gratefully declined. Those wishing to make memorial contributions in memory of Gladys may do so to the Alzheimer Society, c/o The People Place, 102, 3402-27th Avenue, Vernon, B.C. V1T 1S1.
There will not be a funeral according to Phyllis’ wishes. A family ceremony is to be held at a later date. Cremation and burial arrangements have been entrusted to BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605-27 Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 Phone: 250-542-1187 Email: bethelchapel@uniserve.com
Vince, Vinny, Vincenzo, or Vincent Joseph Hurst (“if you’re really mad at me”)
reached the Įnish line of his Įnal race on August 3rd 2012. He accomplished it with immense courage in the face of insurmountable odds, always with the hope that a cure for HunƟngton’s Disease would be found in Ɵme. Born in 1958, Vinny spent his enƟre life in Vernon except for a summer clearing hydro right-of-ways near Edmonton. (It was six months before he lost the F-word!) He then found the perfect body-building job at Riverside Forest Products’ veneer plant, working his way up the ladder. However, aŌer 20 years, having reached the level of foreman-trainee, he was diagnosed with HD. To their credit, both his Union and his employers strove to keep him working as long as possible, but he Įnally had to reƟre in 1998. He spent a few short years enjoying his boat, his camper, and his cabin at Six Mile before he was inevitably conĮned Įrst to his suite, and then, on his 50th birthday, to Polson Special Extended Care Unit.
Arrangements have been entrusted to: PLEASANT VALLEY FUNERAL HOME (250) 542-4333 Condolences may be offered at pleasantvalleyfh.com

Thank you!
We at the Armstrong branch of Royal LePage, Downtown Realty thank the community for their continued support. We were humbled to receive Corporate Citizen of the Year and thank those who nominated and voted for us. We were recently honored to present $3,002.10 to the Vernon Women’s Transition House Society, being proceeds from our Garage Sale and Storage Warz. In addition to our corporate sponsors, Atlas Van Lines and TD Canada Trust, we wish to acknowledge Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce, Spall Storage, Westwood Windows and Doors, Norval, City of Armstrong, Glad Tidings Catering, A/S Minor Soccer, CHBC, Vernon Morning Star, Okanagan Advertiser, Your Country News and Askews Foods.
Vinny suspected that he had HD long before his diagnosis, and was determined to live life in the moment to the fullest while he could. A keen compeƟtor, he tried everything – arm wrestling, downhill and freestyle skiing, water skiing, parasailing, and auto racing. His pride and joy was his “Lincoln Red” ’72 Datsun Fairlady in which he installed a 240-Z engine. His proudest moment came when he won a third place trophy in his class at Knox. Vinny leaves behind his mother Terry Hurst, his grandmother Elsie Reid, sisters Leslie Hughes and Val Galbraith, and brother Rod Hurst, with their respecƟve families, and innumerable good friends. Special thanks to the marvellous staī at Polson Special, whose care for Vinny went far beyond the call of duty. Those wishing to help Įnd a cure may make donaƟons to the HunƟngton Society of Canada, 151 Frederick Street, Suite 400, Kitchener, Ontario N2H 2N2. (They’re geƫng close!) A celebraƟon of Vinny’s life was held August 11 by invitaƟon.
