Accused enters guilty plea ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Employees and customers at businesses located along the west side of Anderson Way wait patiently with emergency personnel after the area was evacuated Thursday morning as the result of a bomb threat at Lake City Casino.
Bomb threat forces evacuations RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
There were some tense moments at Vernon’s Lake City Casino Thursday. A bomb threat was received at the casino on Anderson Way at about 11:15 a.m., forcing the immediate evacuation of patrons and staff. “They just asked us to leave. They didn’t tell us anything,” said Debbie Gilliard, who was in the building. Ole Sather was also left wondering about what was going on. “They made an announcement for everyone to exit through the front door,” he said. Other adjacent businesses were also emptied as officials tried to determine the validity of the threat. “They (police) said there was a bomb scare at the casino and it was supposed to go off at 11:30 a.m.,” said Ken Lehman, an account manager at TD Bank. About 100 to 150 people were evacuated from all buildings and they were told to gather near Superstore, while access to Anderson Way was limited.

The incident began when an individual apparently entered the casino. “He probably went in there to play or consume food or drink and he was refused service,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. The bomb threat was made as the individual was being escorted outside. A 51-year-old Vernon man was taken into custody by police. “He’s expected to face charges of uttering threats,” said Molendyk. An explosives-trained police dog was brought in from Kelowna but a bomb was not located and people were given the green light to go back into some businesses by 12:10 p.m. Patrons and staff returned to the casino by about 12:45 p.m. Molendyk says the possibility of a bomb had to be taken seriously. “You don’t know what the situation is until you clear the place. People’s safety is paramount,” he said. No one from Gateway Casinos, the parent company of Lake City Casino, could be reached for comment.

A suspect is taken into custody by Vernon RCMP after a bomb threat scare at the Lake City Casino Thursday.
A former member of the BX-Swan Lake volunteer fire department facing charges of fraud and theft has entered a guilty plea. Layne Richard Benner, 39, pleaded guilty in Vernon Provincial Court Thursday to one count of theft by a person required to account. “He will be making restitution in full prior to the date of sentencing, and offering a full apology to the BX Swan Lake Fire Department,” said Benner’s lawyer, Richard Hewson. A date for Benner’s sentencing will be fixed in court Wednesday. Benner was originally charged with counts of fraud and theft over $5,000. No decision has been made on the fraud count. An 18-month investigation into financial improprieties at the BX-Swan Lake volunteer fire hall resulted in charges being laid in August. Police began looking into matters in January of 2011 after questions from the fire department arose over its account. Charges were forwarded to Crown for approval in May. Police said in August the money in question belongs to the volunteer firemen.

Dixon insists that the centre provides a valuable service in the community. “Not all kids play soccer or are into the arts,� she said. “There are many kids that need the alternate programming the centre offers.� Of the $150,000, $45,000 would help hire an exhibit co-ordinator/curator and $20,000 would add hours to existing staff and add part-time staff. “To reach our goals, we need to increase our staffing,� said Dixon, who says it’s difficult to keep positions filled because competitive wages are lacking. “There’s a lot of pressure and stress to the job but not a lot of money.� The centre received one-time funding of $32,500 this year to alleviate operational pressures.
Ringworm cases have temporarily closed Vernon’s SPCA branch. Staff members are currently treating the infected animals. “Unfortunately cases of ringworm are inevitable, and when diseases occur in the community they are brought into the shelter through abandoned and surrendered animals,� said Dr. James Lawson, chief animal health officer for the B.C. SPCA. “It is especially challenging for shelters at this time of year because we receive so many abandoned and surrendered kittens, who are particularly susceptible to ringworm.� Lawson said the affected animals are being treated at the Vernon SPCA and the shelter hopes to reopen “soon.� “We’ll reopen as quickly as possible, but it is important that we take every precaution to ensure other animals are not exposed,� said Lawson. The SPCA still has kittens available for adoption in foster homes. Call the shelter at 250-549-7297 for information. While the shelter has closed to the public temporarily, it will not affect the Scotiabank and B.C. SPCA Paws for a Cause walk happening Sunday at 10 a.m. at BX Ranch Park. Lawson reminds the public that spaying and neutering is an essential part of pet guardianship. “The B.C. SPCA takes in more than 6,000 abandoned or unwanted kittens during the summer and this wave of kittens creates many challenges, as we are seeing with these incidents of ringworm,� he said. “We urge people to do their part to keep animal populations under control in their communities.�

Court date set in shooting case KATHY MICHAELS Black Press
The trio who allegedly engaged in a summer shoot-out and car chase with Okanagan Mounties will be reunited in court later this month. Michael Edward Ellis, 39, Shawn Adam Wysinski, 32, and Ashley Collins, 19, will appear in a Kelowna courtroom Sept. 17, to deal with attempted murder charges, as well as others, that were levied against them in the wake of the August run-in with Mounties. Ellis and Wysynski are currently being held at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre, while Collins was released on bail Sept. 17 after healing from injuries incurred during the chase. The one-hour chase that led
police from West Kelowna to Vernon, via Westside Road, started when Mounties tried to do a routine pull over of a green Dodge Caravan. The van allegedly sped away and within minutes, shots were fired from both sides. Unconfirmed reports have indicated that the van’s wheels were shot out, but they were able to continue their getaway by carjacking at least two others in their path. Despite the drama, Collins was the only injured party from the dangerfraught drive, although police have said the members of the three detachments involved were on tenterhooks throughout it all, as they feared for the safety of their co-workers. New Westminster police have also been asked to investigate a bullet that struck Collins in the chase.

Kingfisher gets planning process RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Officials insist a new land use plan won’t deter development along Mabel Lake. The Regional District of North Okanagan board adopted the new local area plan for Kingfisher Wednesday. “I hope it will alleviate some of the concerns multiplying over the years,” said Jackie Pearase, rural Enderby director. Among the issues requiring attention for some residents are traffic, the condition of the Enderby-Mabel Lake Road, boat moorage and water and sewer.
“We’re not saying you can’t grow.” — Jackie Pearase However, during a recent public hearing, other residents petitioned for a tourism strategy and more land being opened up for new commercial development. They also wanted Mabel Lake recognized as a resort community. Laura Frank, RDNO’s sustainability co-ordinator, says there is no legal defini-
tion for a resort community and while new areas for development were identified they didn’t conform with the policies of the provincial Agricultural Land Commission. “There are vacant lands that haven’t been developed yet,” she said of properties that already have approved land uses. Frank believes the
local area plan provides a balance between differing views in the community. “The plan hasn’t made any changes to future land use designations,” she said. The plan has 52 recommendations regarding the environment, peak season use/management, infrastructure, emergency planning, future land use, residential and commercial policies, and park land. Pearase says the document provides a guide for the future. “We’re not trying to stifle the resort from growing but we heard from the community,
‘Let’s work with what we have,’” she said. “We’re not saying you can’t grow. We just want the area to grow sustainably.” While the board adopted the plan, rural Lumby director Rick Fairbairn contends that the pro-resort concerns raised can’t be ignored. “The term resort community from a development standpoint is a huge marketing tool,” he said.
Smoking ban limited to kids’ areas Smokers will have to butt out in areas popular with children in Lumby. Council adopted a bylaw Tuesday that permits signs to be installed that prohibits smoking around locations frequented by children. “We were receiving complaints about smoking around children and we addressed that issue,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. In areas where adults are predominant, smoking will be allowed even if some people are offended by cigarette smoke. All I have heard was really Kevin Acton good comments about this,” said Coun. Lori Mindnich. “People have said this is a really good idea.” Mindnich suffers from respiratory issues and understands concerns about second-hand smoke but she doesn’t believe there will be an issue in parks. “I’ll just pick a place to stand (away from smoke),” she said. “Most smokers are really good and they will put it out or they will move somewhere else.” Acton admits the village is trying to find a compromise between smokers and non-smokers. “We’re trying not to be too heavy-handed,” he said. However, he expects the issue of smoking will eventually have to be revisited. “There is support from some in the community

Carrying on a tradition
T
hree days a week you count on them. Whether they throw your issue of The Morning Star right next to the sprinkler, or toss it into the neighbour’s bushes, they are your friendly newspaper carriers. And in case you forgot, Newspaper Carrier Day was Tuesday. No, this isn’t some bogus holiday. Established by the Newspaper Association of America, it is a day to recognize all those who bravely deliver the news. Yes, there are some carriers with bad aim out there. But those are just the few we often hear about. For the most part, they are exceptional delivery-people, faithfully putting the news into the hands of North Okanagan readers. Without carriers, the dedicated news staff, advertising salespeople, creative consultants, classified department and printing press’ work JENNIFER SMITH would never see the light of day. If we didn’t have newspaper carriers, we might as well just click into the internet era and put a bunch of breaking news, features and photos online. Oh, wait...we already do that (www.vernonmorningstar.com). Despite the fact that many people are turning to their computers for their news, there are still many who prefer to flip through the pages of a freshly printed newspaper, scan the flyers, cut out a photo of a friend/family member and use the remnants to, well, the options are limitless and include serving fish and chips. Some people say newspapers are dying. But consider all those readers who call into The Morning Star when their paper isn’t delivered on time, or at all – they obviously still read the print version, or they wouldn’t care if it was delivered at all. So newspapers aren’t dying, in fact, they are growing. Instead of just supplying a printed copy of the news, complete with flyers, community ads and events, papers are also going online
AT RANDOM
to deliver breaking news, features and photos. Many, including The Morning Star, have even advanced to shoot video footage and display slideshows of stunning photos. The web is also a useful tool to get news out in a more timely fashion. The fact is news will never die, the world still needs/wants to know what’s going on nationally, provincially and, most important, locally. Newspapers have been around for centuries – longer than any other news source. They have stood the test of time, and will continue to do so. They are both historic and futuristic. Just like the printed copies they so faithfully deliver, newspaper carriers are also an important part of our history, and are integral to the future of news. Which is why Newspaper Carrier Day was initiated. This special day honours the first paperboy, Barney Flaherty, hired in 1833 by the New York Sun. Benjamin Day, publisher of the Sun, hired 10-year-old Flaherty to sell papers for his penny press. The only job requirement, apparently, was that he had to show that he could throw a newspaper into the bushes. The tradition of newspapers hiring kids to deliver the news into the hands of millions of readers has since continued. Kids learned the value of a penny, by diligently delivering papers in all kinds of weather, being chased down by dogs and dodging sprinklers. They were the delivery system of the news, and can truly be called some of the pioneers of news. Thomas Edison was a newsboy. He sold papers on the train as a youth. Other prominent figures/former carriers include: John Wayne, Warren Buffet and Martin Luther King. So if you forgot to celebrate Carrier Day Tuesday, there is another opportunity later this year – International Newspaper Carrier Day is Oct. 20. Unfortunately that falls on a Saturday, and since The Morning Star doesn’t deliver a paper that day, the North Okanagan can celebrate their carriers the Friday prior or Sunday after.
There is absolutely no disputing the critical role the Okanagan Science Centre plays in the community. It has enthralled thousands of youth over the decades and likely encouraged many of them to pursue careers in science. Exhibits have also provided a major draw for tourists passing through Vernon. That’s why OSC’s pursuit of ongoing financial support from taxpayers appears very hard to refuse. It meets all of the criteria the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee has for providing operating grants. There is also the fact that GVAC already provides funding to the Vernon Public Art Gallery, Vernon Arts Centre, the Greater Vernon Museum, Boys and Girls Club and Teen Junction. Why should the science centre be treated any differently than these groups? But as worthwhile as these organizations are, taxpayers have finite resources, particularly when the recession has had a significant impact on many families. There is also the possibility that other non-profits will see the OSC garnering public funds and they will demand the same treatment. Once the door is open, how do the politicians suddenly close it? Agencies like the science centre must also realize that access to tax dollars is no panacea. Fundraising will still have to occur to cover expenses and there may still be times when some tough budget decisions have to be made. Taxpayers can only do so much given the pressures for infrastructure and other initiatives in the community. Ultimately, the science centre will get the support it’s seeking, but it’s a difficult task for GVAC trying to balance the needs of worthwhile organizations and those footing the bill.

Straight talk on drugs
I
read with interest your article in a recent paper about oxycodone/oxycontin abuse in our community. As a professional in the addictions field, I always appreciate when information is shared about the problems associated with drugs and alcohol. However, this article contained some misleading information. Firstly, it is my understanding that possession of this drug without a prescription is not legal. As suggested, the illicit use of prescription pain medications is a massive problem. In recent years, our office has seen a surge in patients requiring treatment for dependency. What's interesting is that most are abusing prescriptions written in their own name. Many supplement their addiction with easy-to- acquire black market pills. This article fails to mention the introduction in recent months of tamper-resistant versions of this drug which are difficult to crush. This change has made the preferred method of ingestion by abusers, typically snorting or injection in order to bypass the time-released delivery mechanism, difficult. As a result, we might be
PLAN DISAPPOINTS It came to my attention that the John Howard Society has purchased a multi-residential home in the Harwood neighbourhood. This home is to house men who are struggling with addiction and my understanding is that they are in the pre-treatment and post-treatment stages of recovery. I would like to express my absolute disappointment and frustration that the John Howard Society, the City of Vernon nor any other community agency informed the Harwood residents that this home was targeted to support these men. Based on the criminal history of some of these men, they will pose a significant safety risk to our neighbourhood’s children and senior’s. Within a two block radius of this residence there are three churches, one daycare facility, one senior’s residence, one elementary school and one high school. This is also a neighborhood with

seeing a reduction in oxcycodone use but there are plenty of other drugs to take its place so the problem has not been solved. I agree with the article's point about a spike in heroin use among young people in our community. One reason for that might be the reduced availability of oxycontin. But the more likely reason is the inexpensive access and ease with which heroin is used. Heroin need not be injected
many young, healthy families who feel safe enough to have their children walk to school, play at the playground or grab a slushy at the local convenience store without a parent. This plan has jeopardized the safety of our community and speaks loudly to the lack of transparency from the John Howard Society and the City of Vernon. Ryan Henry POOR CHOICE Every year I look forward to the fair, I love the horses and all the booths , the music, the food and the sense of excitement. However, as I read the front page story about the IPE, I was thoroughly disappointed in the choice that Mr. Burns made in bringing in camels and lions and other exotics. They do not belong at an agricultural show which is what the IPE promotes. They do not belong at any show. Many other communities in the past have banned exotics

and is frequently smoked or snorted by young people experimenting with its use. Having said that, the most dangerous drugs of abuse among our young people are alcohol and marijuana. The problem is perpetuated by a belief that these drugs are benign, an unfortunate myth often instilled by their own parents' behaviour. Each of these drugs, particularly opi-
for obvious reasons. A lion and a camel are not for public display at a sideshow. They deserve more. Not to mention that it could have dire consequences should said lion escape. I like to think that society is going forward not backward when it comes to common sense and the treatment of animals. Having a lion at an agricultural fair or any fair shows very poor judgment in my opinion. Carole Wheeler LOST SKI While on vacation and boating on Kal Lake in early August a ski and marker ball, which were dropped to slalom ski went missing - we spent over an hour scouring the area to no avail (found everything else but our equipment, i.e. tennis ball, juice box, floating twigs, etc...). I have never lost a ski or marker ball in 35 years of boating so I can only assume the worst - another boater picked up our gear.
ates, is very addictive and often require intervention in the form of detox or residential treatment to arrest the problem. I take issue with the contention in your article that the cost of treatment should be a reason not to use. Having taken patients to treatment centres across Canada, I can tell you that the very best residential treatment centres cost nowhere near $50,000. It is irresponsible to put out false information like that. The very best facilities in Canada cost less than half of that. There are also very good residential addiction treatment centres in B.C. that are less than $15,000. Furthermore, there are resources for detox, counseling, and treatment in our community that cost absolutely nothing. Detox and treatment are very effective. If anyone suggests methadone as a solution to opiate addiction, my advice would be to seek a second opinion. If you or someone you love is struggling with alcohol or other drugs, please do not hesitate to reach out for help. Your doctor, school counselor, or an addiction counselor would be a good first step. Darrin Taylor, Board Registered Interventionist
As this act breaches common boating etiquette and practices, and is wrong and disrespectful in so many ways, I was hoping to educate and air my disappointment through The Morning Star. The loss of the ski effectively removed the option to ski for those people who need two skis to get up out of the water for the remainder of our stay in the wonderful Coldstream, Vernon, Kal Lake area. Possibly the guilty party would be so kind to return the stolen goods else I'm left with the purchase of another set. I was hoping I could air my concerns and displeasure through a letter to the editor in your paper - a good venue to educate as well. The lost ski was an O'Brien Performer 172cm/68" Dual Tunnel, White/Blue/Black in colour with bright yellow marker ball, same as used on a slalom course. Wayne LaRiviere St Albert, Alberta

A perceived lack of policing continues to raise concerns among Enderby residents and officials. City council decided Tuesday that it needs a meeting with senior RCMP officials. “We want to talk about how the regional policing model operates because we continue to hear concerns about a lack of visibility,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. Among the issues that has come to Cyr’s attention is reoccurring thefts at the local campground and the perception of long response times for complaints. “People in the community have an expectation of actually seeing officers on the street,” said Cyr, a retired RCMP officer. “But we also know there are manpower issues.” Council also recently expressed concerns about speeding motorists in the community and enforcement. “On the first day of school, were there officers

Brad Berrow, Suzanne Ferroux (left), and Giselle Anderson picket outside the ServiceBC office in Vernon.
Workers take to streets TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Provincial government employees staged their largest one-day strike so far Wednesday to press for a bigger wage increase, with two thirds of the workforce off the job at ministry offices, liquor stores and ICBC offices provincewide. Both the government and the B.C. Government and Services Employees’ Union remained unwilling to budge from their positions after negotiations broke down over wage increases this spring. The union executive is meeting next week to consider further strike action this fall. Two earlier one-day strikes targeted liquor warehouses and then selected resource ministry offices in the B.C. Interior. Government negotiators offered raises of two and 1.5 per cent for the next two years, then withdrew the offer after the union staged the first strike. BCGEU chief negotiator David Vipond said Wednesday the wage offer has been tabled and withdrawn three times since talks
began early this year, a tactic he called “peek-aboo bargaining.” And after three years without a wage increase, he said the union is sticking to its demand for 3.5 per cent in the first year and a cost-ofliving raise of about 2.5 per cent in year two. “They want us to reduce our real income over this contract, and we’ve already taken a five-per-cent hit,” Vipond said in an interview. “So to try and chisel us again with a
skinny deal doesn’t make sense to us. We want to at least keep up with inflation and gain a little of what we have lost.” Premier Christy Clark unveiled her new cabinet lineup in Victoria Wednesday as BCGEU pickets circled government offices downtown. Both Clark and Mike de Jong, the new finance minister, said they have no intention of increasing the burden on taxpayers to provide big-
ger raises to provincial workers. “The government’s position on this hasn’t changed,” Clark said. “I am not going back to taxpayers for more money in order to give government workers a raise. We are in very tough economic times and we have to balance our budget.” The government estimates that the wage offer adds up to $1,700 more over two years for a BCGEU employee making $48,000 a year.

Two lucky winners will be drawn
attending. The focus of Brown’s presentation was reptiles and he had the children and adults hooked on his slithery creatures. The crowd not only found Brown’s presentation to be educational but also entertaining after a grumpy snake and a few lizards nipped his hand and a misbehaving frog hopped out of his grasp. Questions like “What would happen if you put those two together?” tested Brown’s knowledge but he held his own way of winning the not so squeamish over with the pythonfeeding finale. “It wasn’t scary, it was cool,” said Faye Ells, five, when asked about the feeding. The children left with not only a better understanding of some of the more exotic species but also of reptiles and frogs that live in our own backyards.

News Podium finish on water, runner-up on video for wakeboarder ANDRE LODDER Morning Star Staff
He may have lost this
battle, but as far as wakeboarding is concerned, Dustin O’Ferrall isn’t
doing too badly when it comes to the big picture.
It’s time for you
to go!
After a close finish, the local wakeboarder narrowly missed winning Rip Curl’s The Judgement video competition. The competition featured a head-to-head style competition with the winner decided by
the amount of Facebook ‘likes’ each video gets. O’Ferrall’s video made it to the finals but stumbled when it went up against Robbie McMillin’s video. O’Ferrall’s video edit finished with 2,250 likes, only 69 short of
McMillin’s winning total. “It feels pretty good, kind of felt I deserved it and had the industry behind me, but I guess that’s what happens with social media. I’m just happy with how the video turned out,” said
O’Ferrall. The winner of the competition was announced at the recently completed Canadian Nationals in Quebec in which O’Ferrall was competing. O’Ferrall missed out on winning the finals to his good friend McMillin, but he’s not bitter about it after a strong finish in the Men’s Open division at the wakeboarding competition. “I didn’t quite get the video contest but I finished on the podium so that’s pretty big,” he said. O’Ferrall finished third behind the highly touted Derome brothers from Coteau-Du-Lac, Quebec. Oli Derome finished first while his younger brother Raph took second in the competition “It was a good event, there was some pretty heavy competition. The best guys in the world were there and they’re the ones that finished ahead of me,” said O’Ferrall. He may not have won the video competition but O’Ferrall is happy with the results and glad to know he has people supporting him. “I just want to say thanks to all my friends and family and the support of the community,” said O’Ferrall. The top two videos can be viewed by following the links on SBC Wakeboard’s Facebook page.

BCHL champs lead Interior poll Morning Star Staff
All 16 teams will be in action this weekend in Chilliwack as the B.C. Hockey League launches into the 2012-13 regular season with its inaugural Showcase event at Prospera Centre. The Vernon Vipers play two games, the first against the defending Fred Page Cup champion Penticton Vees Saturday night. They take on the four-time Coastal champion Powell River Kings Sunday morning. The league think tank reshuffled its divisions this year, sending both the Prince George Spruce Kings and Chilliwack Chiefs over to the Coastal Conference. Here is a look at how the Black Press sports reporters have ranked the remaining six Interior Conference teams heading into the season. 1. PENTICTON VEES KEY RETURNEES: F Wade Murphy (36-55-91), F Cody DePourcq (6-12-18), D Troy Stecher (5-37-42), G Chad Katunar (13-2-0, 2.87 GAA, .887 SV%), F Sam Mellor (4-59) Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves in National Collegiate Athletics Association (acquired through trade with Trail). ROOKIE SENSATIONS: This year’s 16-year-old will be Kamloops minor hockey product Ryan Gropp. This sixth overall pick by the Seattle Thunderbirds in the 2011 Western Hockey League draft starred with the Okanagan Hockey Academy Midget prep team, scoring 21 goals for 51 points in 41 games. He appeared in two games as a call-up with the Vees, scoring once. Louie Nanne, grandson of former Minnesota North Stars’ general manager Lou Nanne, played with the Minnesota’s Edina Hornets high school team, the same school that produced former Vee Steven Fogarty. Nanne, a seventh-round pick of the Minnesota Wild in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, had 12 goals and 20 points in 24 games. He also played for Team Southwest and tallied seven goals and 20 points in as many games. Dexter Dancs is a familiar name for Vees fans. With his ticket booked to the University of Michigan, Dancs played 15 games for the Vees as an affiliate collecting one helper. The North Vancouver product had a strong season with the KIJHL’s Osoyoos Coyotes, scoring 29 times and adding 38 helpers in 42 games. STRENGTHS: Goaltending is expected to be a strength again. Katunar earned invaluable experience during the playoffs when Michael Garteig was injured, and helped push the Vees to the 2012 Doyle Cup against the Brooks Bandits. He is confident and eager to lead the Vees in defending their RBC Cup championship. Vees’ head coach/ GM Fred Harbinson believes his defensive core will be strong and deep and feels he has four solid lines. COACH’S QUOTE: Harbinson: “I really enjoy this group already. I think they are going to be a fun team to work with. The one thing that I want to do that is the same as last year, and it’s non-negotiable, is that we want to work as hard as we did last year and we want to have guys that buy into their roles like the guys did last year.�

Vernon Viper captain Brett Corkey (inside left) will be joined by newly anointed alternate captains Ryan Renz (from left), Aaron Hadley and Marc Hetnik for the coming B.C. Hockey League season. The foursome are sporting the Vipers’ new Florida Panthersinspired third jerseys. 2. VERNON VIPERS KEY RETURNEES: F Adam Tambellini (27-29-56), F Aaron Hadley (17-23-40), D Brett Corkey (2-32-34), Ryan Renz (1-19-20). ROOKIE SENSATIONS: F Craig Martin finished third in KIJHL scoring as a 16-year-old with the Beaver Valley Nitehawks, recording 48-48-96 in 50 games; D Michael Statchuk was the Prince Albert Mintos’ captain and top scoring d-man, posting 13-26-29 in 44 games. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound Wadena, Sask. native was also named Top Defenceman at the Macs Midget AAA Tournament in Calgary. F Mitchell McAllister was captain of the Strathmore, Alta.’s UFA Bisons, racking up 14-25-39, along with 100 penalty minutes, in 34 games. He will bring energy to the Viper lineup. STRENGTHS: With a balanced crop of returning d-men – including Corkey, Renz, Marc Hetnik and Geoff Crisfield – augmented by several promising recruits, the Vipers boast one of the league’s most formidable bluelines. Up front, Tambellini, Pearce Eviston, Martin and Braeden Russell will provide some scoring touch, while veterans like Colton Sparrow and Hadley can play in all situations and make life miserable for the opposition. COACH’S QUOTE: Jason Williamson – “We’re going to play with some good energy, we’re going to be an exciting
team to watch. We’ve got some high-end talent and some hard-working kids and I like our D corps.� 3. WEST KELOWNA WARRIORS KEY RETURNEES: F Max French (25-14-39), F Shawn Hochhausen (11-20-31), F Marcus Basara (16-25-41), F David Pope (8-17-25), D Josh Monk (7-14-21). ROOKIE SENSATIONS: Warriors’ head coach Rylan Ferster had a solid year of recruiting, bringing in players from Western Canada and starts the year with just six rookies. On defence, Penticton native Adam Plant joins the Warriors from the Okanagan Hockey Academy and is already committed to Harvard University. Jetlan Houcher and Ambrose Firkus were top players in Saskatchewan while Matt Anholt joins the Warriors from Lloydminster and Lake Country’s Brent Lashuk arrives from the Kelowna Chiefs of the KIJHL. STRENGTHS: With a dozen returning players and four newcomers with junior A experience, the Warriors will ice a veteran squad this year, including in net where newcomer Tyler Briggs was acquired in a trade deadline deal with Lloydminster of the AJHL. Briggs led Canada West to a World Junior A Challenge gold medal and had four shutouts with the Bobcats.

Cents field veteran squad Continued from A21 With support from Garrett Rockafellow, the Warriors will have a solid tandem in net, something they lacked in Ferster’s first year with the Warriors. COACH’S QUOTE: Rylan Ferster – “We really like our group. Our returning guys are solid character guys. We addressed our biggest need in goaltending with Tyler Briggs and Garret Rockafellow. We like our depth down the middle and I really like our recruiting class.” 4. MERRITT CENTENNIALS KEY RETURNEES: F Regan Soquila (16-54-70), F Brandon Bruce (16-15-31), F Silvan Harper (11-17-28), F Brent Fletcher (9-12-21), D Richard Sabourin (4-1923), D Dylan Chanter (2-11-13), G Tyler Steel (15-11-1, 2.60 GAA, 91.6 SV%) ROOKIE SENSATIONS: 6’5” Kevin Lohan from Coal Spring Harbor, NY looks to be the big, stay-at-home defenceman every team covets. Last year, the 18-yearold Lohan played for the New York Apple Core in the East Coast Junior League. He’ll be joined on the Cents’ blueline by two other sizeable Junior B prospects – 6’4” Ryan Lisowsky (Mission Icebreakers) and 6’2” John Saunders (North Okanagan Knights). Up front, a deep complement of returning forwards just got deeper with the addition of 17-year-old Diego Cuglietta (13-25-38, Kamloops Storm) and 16-year-old Jeff Wight (14-23-37, N.E. Chiefs). STRENGTHS: Head coach Luke Pierce’s squad surprised quite a few pundits and prognosticators last year with a secondplace finish in the tough Interior Division. The Centennials were the only team in the BCHL to beat the juggernaut Vees at the SOEC in the regular season. Half of that impressive Cents’ team is back, led by last seasons’ leading scorer Soquila, outstanding netminder Steel, newly-named captain Fletcher, and heart-and-soul d-man Sabourin. The off-season acquisition of points-producer Derek Huisman (30-3565) from the Chilliwack Chiefs and vastly under-rated Sebastien Pare (6-8-14) from the Langley Rivermen gives Merritt the kind of depth in the forward ranks that could be the envy of the league. Pierce has
made it no secret that he wants this, the 40th anniversary of the longest continuously-run BCHL franchise, to be THE year for his team. COACH’S QUOTE: Luke Pierce – “Our intention is to build off the success that our program had last season, and with the core of guys that we have back, we believe it is possible. We made significant moves in the off-season to better the overall offensive output of our team and believe that will be a strength of ours. With four defencemen having moved on from our program, we will need to focus on defending as a group, and helping to groom the new guys into solid BCHL players. With Tyler Steel entering his third year in the league, we believe that we have one of, if not, the best goaltenders in the league, and will lean on him to provide stability for us.” 5. SALMON ARM SILVERBACKS KEY RETURNEES: D Sean Flanagan (8-23-31), D Shane Hanna (3-21-24), D Bennett Hambrook (2-3-5), F Jeff Kennedy (1114-25), F Travis Stephens (1519-34). ROOKIE SENSATIONS: Before he even stepped on BCHL ice, forward Ryan Schwalbe had in his back pocket that which most of his peers are still striving for – an NCAA Division I scholarship. The Anchorage product spent the last three years at renowned prep program Shattuck St. Mary’s in Minnesota and will attend college in the land of 10,000 lakes at Mankato. Hometown boy Bryden Marsh and his 6’2” frame should get a good look up front after a pair of productive seasons with Golden of the KIJHL. Originating in the Soo and another Shattuck product, Carter Lukenda joins the fold and adds a playmaker’s eyes to the lineup. STRENGTHS: Usually turning a lineup over almost completely means a year of growing pains but for the SilverBacks, it represents a breath of fresh air. Head coach Troy Mick takes the reins, returning to the BCHL after six years away and brings in a new No. 1 goalie in Colin Dzijacky, who posted a 0.65 goals-against average in two 2012 RBC Cup appearances with host Humboldt. On the blueline, four return-
ers bring stability in Hanna, Hambrook, Flanagan and Brendan Kennedy. COACH’S QUOTE: Troy Mick – “We’ve brought in a whole new attitude, a whole new commitment level. I would have liked to play one or two more (exhibition games) to get an eye on the returning guys; there’s the want factor – they have to show me how badly they want it.” 6. TRAIL SMOKE EATERS KEY RETURNEES: G Lyndon Stanwood (4.06 GAA, .886 SV%), F Garret McMullen (17-19-36), F Tanner Clarkson (15-11-26), F Brent Baltus (14-16-30), D Brandon Egli (2-9-11), F Adam Wheeldon (3-710). R O O K I E SENSATIONS: 17-yearold Trail product Scott Davidson was injured most of last season and saw little ice time with KIJHL Beaver Valley Nitehawks. But if preseason is any indicator, the skilled forward will be one to watch in the coming year. The Major Midget Kootenay Ice’s 16-year-old forward Mitchell Foyle and 17-year-old Trail native Jake Lucchini are also impressive additions, while goalie Braeden Krogfoss, 17, of Cloverdale was an MVP goalie with the Vancouver Giants in the B.C. Major Midget League last season. His size and mobility should prove a dependable counterpart to the Smokies’ starter Stanwood. STRENGTHS: The Smoke Eaters will be solid in goal. The lightning-quick Stanwood and six-foot rookie Krogfoss provide stability in the crease, shoring up a veteran defence. Talented returnees like McMullen, Clarkson and Baltus, along with recent acquisition Alex Holland from the Victoria Grizzlies, should give the Smokies some scoring touch up front, and former Alberni Bulldog’s Tyler Berkholtz will add size and toughness. COACHES QUOTE: Assistant coach Brent Heaven – “I think we’re looking pretty strong. We definitely have two strong goaltenders and we’ve got a pretty solid D-core with a lot of veterans back there, and I think our top couple lines will be able to put some pucks in the net. We’ve got a lot of good role players, so things are starting to come together pretty well.”
Harvest hockey back at Wesbild Morning Star Staff
The 16th annual Vernon Senior Oldtimers’ Harvest Hockey Jamboree takes place at the Wesbild Centre during the day from Tuesday, Oct. 2 through Thursday. Longtime chairman Mike Todd said players will be coming from as far east as New Jersey and Wisconsin; as far south as Arizona and Colorado; north from Alaska; and from the four Western Canadian provinces and Washington and Oregon. Players enter as individuals, and teams are put together based on age, position
and playing experience. “The games are very competitive and players over the years have remarked on the evenness of the matches,” said Todd. “I make sure the ringers are spread throughout the three divisions so there are no stacked teams.” The fun kicks off with the opening dinner at the Schubert Centre on Monday night when the players find out who their teammates are and game times. Wives attend the dinner as well and they are also included in the Tuesday social event. Entrants are still needed in the Rookies (55-64 or so) and Classics (65-72 or so)
divisions and the Legends division has some openings, but is most popular and rapidly filling up. Entry forms can be downloaded and printed from the website: www.senioroldtimershockey.com or call Mike at 250549-2311. As one of the players from last year said: “The teams couldn’t have been more balanced...and that’s part of what makes (the) event so much fun. I also like the fact that there are no trophies or medals... just a big group of senior guys getting together and acting like kids again. What can be more fun?”

Nikkel adds net presence Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan Knights’ head coach Kris Mallette had pretty much assumed a new No. 1 netminder would be at the top of his to-do list for the coming Kootenay International Junior Hockey League season. However, Dustin Nikkel is set to return to the Knights’ crease after he was unable to crack the BCHL Salmon Arm SilverBacks’ lineup at training camp last week. “I was quite surprised,” said Mallette, who watched the 1993-born Nikkel at the camp, and felt he gave SilverBacks’ returnee Adam Clark a solid battle for the backup role behind starter Colin Dzijacky. “He played very well in Salmon Arm. I’ve never seen him as focussed as he is right now. ” Whether Nikkel remains with North Okanagan for the entire season is another question. Mallette wouldn’t be surprised to see him earn a mid-season call-up to a BCHL club, similar to Kamloops Storm netminder Lynden Stanwood, who joined the Trail Smoke Eaters last year. Mallette has also liked what he has seen through a pair of preseason games, include a 7-1 win over the Chase Heat last Friday, followed by a 6-2 win over the Kelowna Chiefs Tuesday. Vernon’s Colton Thibault led the Knights with a four-point night against Chase, while Mat Lambert, another Vernon product, collected four goals against Kelowna. “The kid (Thibault) is going to be a very good player,” said Mallette. “He is AP’d (call-up) with West Kelowna and Rylan (Ferster, Warriors’ head coach) really likes him.” Of Lambert, he added: “He gets himself into the good areas and is very opportunistic, and he’s got some finish.” Other local products joining the Knights this year include Mac Ferner, the son of former Vipers’ head coach Mark, Enderby’s Connor Richards and Morgan Johnson, a WHL draft pick of the Prince George Cougars.
Along with Nikkel, North Okanagan boasts a returning corps of forwards Steve Pantazopoulos, and Brett Hawrys, and d-men Nathan Brown and Josh Klein. Mallette is waiting to see whether forwards Derek Andrews and Ben Greenaway stick with their Junior A teams. He traded Vernon netminder Aaron Brandoli to Kevin Kraus’s Revelstoke Grizzlies in exchange for future considerations Monday. “I like our makeup,” he said. “Give us a month to get going, and if we get our guys back from Junior A and other camps, we could be extremely competitive. North Okanagan open the regular season next Friday in Sicamous against the Eagles. Their home opener is a Sunday 2 p.m. matinee on Sept. 16 against the Spokane Braves at Nor-Val Sports Centre.
The 22nd annual Hillview Golf Course City Junior and Club Championship goes Monday, Sept. 17 with a 10 a.m. start. The tournament is for boys and girls 17 years and under with the 18-hole entry fee $20 for members and $10 more for nonmembers. The nine-hole rate for members is $15 and $20 for non-members. Entry fee includes a meal and prizes. There will be individual gross competition for agegroup flights. Register in person at the Hillview pro shop. Proof of age is required.

ties in 2011. He turned pro in 2007. Pospisil, 22, now based in Vancouver, was stellar in Canada’s World Group playoff versus Israel last September, capturing both of his singles matches and the doubles match with Nestor to advance Canada back to the World Group. He has won two National Bank Challenger titles in Rimouski and Granby this season in addition to reaching a careerhigh ranking of No. 85 (he is currently 103rd).

Shooters take aim at Classic Morning Star Staff
Sure shots from across B.C. and Alberta were greeted by great weather as they took aim at the annual Labour Day Classic, hosted by the North Okanagan Trap & Skeet Club last weekend. “The shoot was a great success, although total numbers of shooters were down, we had great weather, fabulous targets and fun was had by all,” said Lisa Salt, of the North Okanagan club. There were a couple of big milestones over the weekend, one by Karen Pike of Victoria, who shot her 250,000th registered PITA target.

Slaughter waste approved for area landfill It’s a potentially dangerous product that will be handled in a safe way. For that reason Columbia-Shuswap Regional District directors have voted unanimously to approve the containment of specified risk management material at the Salmon Arm landfill.
Waste management co-ordinator Ben Van Nostrand said based on upgrades in 2010, the landfill has been approved to accept the 10 per cent of slaughter waste that could contain bovine spongiform encephalopathy or “mad cow disease,� if the cow was infected. Van Nostrand said SRM will be dealt with in the same manner
as asbestos, with the material being doublebagged and buried deep immediately upon arrival at the landfill. CSRD obtained the best liners available on the market – built to last at least 50 to 100 years, he said. As well, the site will be monitored three times a year. Van Nostrand says accepting SRM at the Salmon Arm landfill –

Insurance for the seasonal traveller. The season is turning, the sun is lower in the sky and leaves are showing their fall colours. It’s the time of year when people are finalizing their plans for lengthy trips to scenic U.S. destinations to escape the Canadian winter. While considering destinations, accommodations, transportation and activities for long stays, travellers are no-doubt researching travel insurance too. The cost of medical care in the U.S. can be pricey, and a single misadventure could spell the end of a much anticipated trip. The Canadian government recommends that travellers purchase travel insurance when leaving the country. Medical care outside of Canada is extremely expensive and provincial health care may not cover all of your medical expenses incurred out of the province. When researching travel insurance, there are three important things for people to consider: What is your health status? Depending upon your age, some policies might require you to complete a health questionnaire. This needs to be answered accurately to ensure you have the correct coverage. If necessary, purchase preexisting condition coverage so that you’re covered in the event you have a claim relating to a pre-existing condition. What is your trip duration? For some, one lengthy trip of 30 to 90 days may be all

that is planned. However, if you are planning multiple trips, it may be more economical to purchase an annual multi-trip plan. Do you require Trip Cancellation or Interruption coverage? Of course, it is disappointing to have to cancel a trip for any reason, from a missed connection to an unexpected illness. Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption Insurance ensures that you won’t suffer the financial burdens typically associated with such events. But note that there is a difference between the two coverages: Trip Cancellation insures you if your travel plans are cancelled prior to departure, while Trip Interruption coverage insures you if your trip is disrupted after it has already begun. To ensure you are fully informed to make the best decision regarding your travel insurance needs, visit a BCAA Service Centre and speak with an Insurance Specialist today.

under the CSRD bylaw only SRM material from within the regional district would be accepted at the Salmon Arm landfill, addressing one of several concerns directors had initially. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The disease makes me queasy, but after reading the report, I am confident measures have been taken,â&#x20AC;? said director Larry Morgan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will support this.â&#x20AC;?

portive of the initiative. He explained that through preventive measures introduced by CFIA, BSE disease has been virtually eradicated in Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From 2009 to 2011, 99,721 cows have been tested and three have tested positive,â&#x20AC;? he wrote, noting BSE has an affinity to bind to soil particles and does not readily leach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The risk of human or livestock infection with the BSE agent from SRM landfilled at the Salmon Arm landfill is extremely low.â&#x20AC;? Van Nostrand assured directors that

of B.C. Municipalities, asking that the province take immediate action to protect B.C. lakes from the introduction of quagga and zebra mussels. Directors want to see mandatory inspections and quarantine, when warranted, of vessels being transported from areas currently suffering infestations. The late resolution was put forward by rural Sicamous director Rhona Martin, who noted the invasive species pose a serious threat to the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural aquatic ecosystems and can produce significant negative impacts to the economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hamish said it could be a real threat to plugging up water intakes,â&#x20AC;? said Martin referring to (the CSRDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environmental services co-ordinator.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was very concerned about it. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with milfoil introduced some 30 years ago and this is another kink in the hose.â&#x20AC;? Martin notes there have been infestations in other parts of the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When it was first identified, quagga was coming from the U.S. but apparently itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming from all sides now.â&#x20AC;? Falkland director Rene Talbot pointed out implementing control on vessels would be a huge challenge for places where lakes cross borders.

Standing with his feet in the cool Pacific Ocean for the first time ever, Regan Gray, 23, experienced an extreme sense of bitter sweetness. Under the banner of Ride 2012, Gray and his wife Amanda, 24, had just completed four weeks of cycling from Winnipeg to Vancouver. Cyclists participating in Ride 2012 passed through Vernon July 27 and 28 as part of week three of a fourweek cycle tour across Canada. They cycled on paved roads from Winnipeg to Vancouver for six days a week, for up to four weeks. There were also a number of motorcycle routes, the longest of which was a 2,800 km, week-long ride from Winnipeg to Vancouver in July. Ride 2012 was an initiative of The Christian and Missionary Alliance Church in Canada, in conjunction with several other denominations, to raise awareness and provide resources for planting and supporting inner city churches in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto. Riders were encouraged to raise sponsorship for each day or week of participation. Vernon Alliance Church’s VAC River Riders team has set a goal to raise $10,000 for The River Church of Vancouver’s Downtown East Side, by the end of December 2012. Each day, riders were given the opportunity to either ride a long course route or a short course route. Gray explains that for the short route, riders would be driven to a point about 70 to 80 kilometers from the final destination and bike from there. Regan experienced an “exceptionally humbling” low point of the ride when he had to miss two days of the ride due to a knee injury. However, the short route option from Medicine Hat to Brooks helped to get him back on track. A list of more than 50 Vernonites volunteered their time during the local stop to provide a warm reception, satisfying meal and billets for the night and to join the ride for a short distance. After cycling a gruelling 155 km from Revelstoke on July 27, riders arrived in Vernon. After a quick swim in the Recreation Complex pool, the cyclists enjoyed a dinner at Vernon
Alliance Church, prepared by one of the congregation’s small groups. The cyclists appreciated the chance for a good rest and some got to watch a replay of the day’s Olympics opening ceremonies with their billets. The following day, the cyclists continued for 75 km on to Kelowna. VAC River Riders’ Steve Witvoet, a Vernon physiotherapist, cycled with the group from Revelstoke to Kelowna. Two more members of the team, Caleb Kermociev and Gerry Malnis, joined in Vernon and finished the trip with the rest of the group in Vancouver. One of the highlights for Regan included “the hill of a lifetime” between Abbotsford and Mission right at the end of a 130 km day, which they instantly baptised Mission Hill. “It hurt, but it was a good hurt,” said Regan, who also loved the view after conquering Roger’s Pass and the orchards and lakes of the Okanagan Valley. Regan found the people of Ride 2012 the most inspiring, including the host churches, the support and gear team and his fellow riders. Amongst them were Shirley Polson, a remarkable woman from Calgary, who had only started cycling in her 60s and participated in Ride 2012 from Calgary to Kelowna. Polson celebrated her 83rd birthday the day after they arrived in Kelowna. “She rode with such determination and strength, it was absolutely astounding…She did all the mountain passes – including Roger’s Pass.” The Grays felt sad to be done with this memoryfilled trip. Return to their normal daily life will mean Regan entering his second year as medical student of the University of Manitoba and Amanda returning to her job as a nurse at the Graceland Hospital, Winnipeg. “Suffering in the saddle for God’s kingdom has changed our lives and here’s to believing it will change the lives of countless others,” said Regan. For more information on Ride 2012 or to make a donation, visit www.ride2012.ca. Donations can be made directly to the Ride 2012 project or by searching for the VAC River Riders to donate to the Vernon team.

Cruisin’ to new event record Morning Star Staff
Canadian car enthusiasts have helped raise a record amount in support of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada. A&W Food Services of Canada Inc. is proud to announce that its fourth annual Cruisin’ for a Cause Day, which took place Aug. 23, raised $1.25 million in support of the journey to find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. Cruisin’ for a Cause Day took place across the country, including at Vernon’s two A&W locations and in Armstrong and Lake Country. “When our partnership with A&W began four years ago, we had no idea how much Cruisin’ for a Cause would grow, or how much impact it would have in communities across the country. This year, over 750 A&W restaurants teamed up with us to make this day a success, and help us raise awareness and funds on behalf of Canadians living with multiple sclerosis,” said Yves Savoie, President and CEO, MS Society of Canada. “Thank you to the entire A&W family for their commitment to further MS research and to help support those touched by MS.” A&W restaurants across Canada helped raise funds through the sale of cut-outs, customer contributions and donations of $1 from every Teen Burger sold on Aug. 23. Cruisin’ for a Cause raised both
funds and awareness of multiple sclerosis through a variety of events including classic car gatherings, retro music, car hop service and car hop relay races, and Great A&W Root Bear visits. In total, Cruisin’ for a Cause Day has raised more than $3.3 million over the past four years to help end MS in communities across the
country. Canada has one of the highest incidence rates of multiple sclerosis in the world, making research and support for people with MS and their families critical. Multiple sclerosis is the most common neurological disease of young adults in Canada and affects from 55,000 to 75,000 Canadians. “The ongoing enthu-
siasm and commitment to this very important cause has been outstanding,” said Paul Hollands, A&W president and CEO. “On behalf of A&W, I would like to thank and congratulate all of our customers, staff, franchisees, car clubs, the MS Society and other supporters across Canada who helped us reach this significant goal.”

6ERTIGO FLIES INTO NEW EXHIBITION SEASON Gallery features the abstract work of UBC Okanagan fine art grads and a birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye view by local potter Morning Star Staff
The walls are not the only thing covered as Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gallery Vertigo flies into the fall season. The gallery is presenting the abstract paintings on canvas and paper by UBC Okanagan fine art grads Renae Roles and Josie Thiessen, as well as the whimsical avian-themed, three-dimensional works of celebrated Coldstream artist Bob Kingsmill. In Navigating Skins - Painting the Unseen, guest curated by Katie Brennan, Thiessen and Roles use the process of creating a painting as a way to explore how objects, ideas and images can be transmuted into something more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The show of seductive paintings explores how abstraction can better represent those in-between, intangible ideas and moments than realistic representation, painting things exactly as you see them, can,â&#x20AC;? said Brennan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For both of these artists, painting is an exploratory practice in which one is both a creator and discoverer, navigating new terrain and recording their personal experience of it in their paintings.â&#x20AC;? Born in Richmond and now living in Kelowna, Thiessen explores the edge between realistic and abstract in her artwork. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like when the boundaries are pushed, so that it could go either way; where something is abstract but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also realistic,â&#x20AC;? she said. In her painting, End Zone Play, Thiessen has mapped out an ultimate frisbee game against the backdrop of a brooding storm stained onto the canvas. The diagram lines and the storm, are a score of movement or moments that have yet to occur, like how air molecules actually move when you throw a frisbee through the air, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The lines of motion around the frisbee thrower are also a way for me to visually explore this movement of rhythm in to describe the tension of a dialogue within the heart,â&#x20AC;? added Thiessen. Vernon raised artist Roles, who now lives in Lake Country, has also studied psychology and anatomy, which have had a strong influence on her work. PHOTO SUBMITTED â&#x20AC;&#x153;Human perception shapes our relationArtist Bob Kingsmill works on one of his Business Birds at his Coldstream studio. His ceramic pieces ship to what we see,â&#x20AC;? said Roles, adding that can now be viewed in an exhibition at Gallery Vertigo in downtown Vernon. she chooses a colour palette of pink and
orange skin-like tones to emphasize a visceral quality to the forms she creates, which are often abstractions of organs and other organic building blocks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Abstract forms open up your concept of things. They push the definition of what something is. They widen the associations.â&#x20AC;? A more whimsical view of the world can be seen in Vertigoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gallery Two with the ceramic work of Kingsmill. A sculptor and potter, who has studios at his home in Coldstream as well as on Granville Island in Vancouver, Kingsmillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s masks are widely collected and his wall murals hang in homes and public buildings in many countries around the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With a new whimsical direction called Business Birds, Bob shows his mastery of clay and how to imbed a fantastic sense of humour into each and every piece,â&#x20AC;? said Heidi Maddess, Gallery Vertigo director. Kingsmill began making ceramic objects in Winnipeg under the tutelage of Muriel Guest. In 1967, he moved to Kelowna and in the Okanagan Mission opened his first studio where he produced stoneware and raku-fired pieces. He initiated the Mission Hall Sale, which in 2007 celebrated 40 years in existence, helping Okanagan potters gain recognition for their work. In the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s, Kingsmill moved to the coast and set up a studio on Bowen Island, where he put together his first book, A Catalogue of B.C. Potters. In 1979, he opened the studio on Granville Island, which he continues to maintain to this day while making his home in Coldstream. During his career, Kingsmill has given workshops and taught classes at Capilano and Malaspina colleges, as well as for the outreach program at Emily Carr College of Art and Design. Known locally for his three bronze masks that now rest on the facade of the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre, Kingsmillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work can also be found at Vancouver Childrensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hospital, St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Theological College at the University of British Columbia, a professorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retreat in Cambridge, England, two public buildings in Victoria, Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Theatre, Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospice House, and private collections in Canada, the U.S., Germany, Switzerland, Korea, New Zealand and Africa, to name a few. The public will have a chance to meet Thiessen, Roles and Kingsmill at a public reception at Gallery Vertigo Sept. 15 from 7 to 9 p.m. All exhibitions are now open for viewing at the gallery until Oct. 20.

Sisters Jenn (left) and Lindsay Millan join Lowell Friesen as The Frills in the Field, who perform at their recording fundraiser at Friesen’s Countrytyme Gardens Sept. 15. players, more and more musicians are turning to their own means to create a life from their art,” he said. Describing their sound as a rootsy blend of understated acoustic riffs, soft-spoken heart-felt lyrics and cascading vocal harmonies, The Frills in the Field ride the wave of nu-folk with a casual lightheartedness that is refreshing in an industry that often takes itself too seriously. The band has spent the summer writing original material and playing shows whenever and wherever they can. All three come from musical families and have spent their lives singing in living rooms, churches, theatres and bands. They came together as a group when all three found themselves living in the
Vernon area. Friesen is the principle songwriter and says he writes with an innate ear for structure and a whimsical poetic license, crafting songs about life, love and liberation. The sisters round out the band with stunning harmonies that can only come from a lifetime of singing together, said Friesen. The Frills in the Field recording fundraiser takes place at Friesen’s Countrytyme Gardens, 9172 Kalamalka Rd. in Coldstream, Sept. 15 at 5 p.m. The event includes a barbecue buffet dinner, supplied by Friesen’s, and wine from local wineries, and performances by local musicians Lancen Harms, Celia Atkins as well as The Frills in the Field. Reserve a table by calling 250-549-3587.
Belles do justice to covers Belle Starr
A
trio of fiddle playing sirens who build a solid bridge between Canadian and American popular roots styles, Belle Starr (Stephanie Cadman, Kendal Carson and Miranda Mulholland) pool their east/west Canadian experience into a powerful EP that’s instantly captivating. The three vocalist/fiddlers bring years of experience in bands and traditional perforDean Gordon-Smith mance to make an important sounding recording whose brevity captures the soul of the trio – no mean feat. First, they’ve got unpredictable but stellar choice in cover material and their interpretations act as a take over. Belle Starr own the songs, not through force, rather by getting inside the lyrics and melody. They give truth to the example of playing what you believe in.

On the surface, some of these tracks seem to originate from surprising sources: The Talking Heads, Dolly Parton, Fred Eaglesmith, Jenny Whitely. But it’s an inspired choice of material starting with The Talking Heads penned This Must Be the Place (Naïve Melody). This announces the Starr’s silver-toned vocal presence immediately and then moves that several notches upward into chorus gold. The trio of Cadman, Carson and Mulholland have a big stage sound with unassuming delivery and get some understated intensity going quickly on tracks like Jolene and Summerlea. The Parton penned Jolene is scarily effective. The Starrs capture the pain in the lyric and bring it out in the daylight, exposing the desperation at the song’s core. The track is treated like a lament (an ancient one) as is their version of Eaglesmith’s Summerlea. These songs are where the band’s Canadian roots come through strongest – the keening edge of vocal harmony and crying fiddles that mixes East Coast banshee wailing and resigned western folk attitude. Releases like this are a bolt out of the blue.

A local indie band has come up with a unique way to kick-start their first recording using a do-it-yourself ethic. Inspired by the Kickstarter online campaign, where artists propose a project and seek independent contributors to help reach their financial goals, members of The Frills in the Field are taking it to the next level to record their first professional CD. They are hosting a fundraiser Sept. 15 at a local restaurant to raise the much needed cash to record. “Life as an independent musician is full of the joy found in creative living, self satisfaction of doing what you love, and the constant challenge of balancing practicality and art,” said Lowell Friesen, guitarist in The Frills in the Field, who with sibling singers, Jenn and Lindsay Millan, are all mature students. The sisters are also single moms with the day-to-day juggle of jobs, kids, bills, and making music. As independent musicians, finding the time to practice and play shows is one thing, but coming up with the money to record a CD is a whole other ball game, said Friesen. “Resources for recording and promotion are usually slim at best and with less and less money coming from big industry

The Possession
MorningStar
oung Em (Natasha Calis) is an innocent 10-year-old trapped in the middle of her parents’ difficult, yet fairly amicable divorce. One day, excited to help her father (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) outfit his new house, among the dishes and curtains at a yard sale, she notices an ornate, antique box that takes her fancy. Fascinated by the box, Em plays with it, sleeps with it, takes it to school with her, until finally she figures out how to open it. Shortly after that she Taylor & Howe begins hearing voices, having visions, and basically acting weird. An expert is called in and the battle between good and evil begins with poor Em caught in between. We say, “If you ever find an old box that appears to have no entry, there’s a reason.” HOWE: Over the last few years there have been a lot of Exorcist-type movies. Some have been okay. Some have been downright terrible and should never have been allowed to see the light of day. The Possession is pretty good. TAYLOR: I agree. Other films, The Exorcism of Emily Rose comes to mind, were okay but quite forgettable. This film had a couple images in it that I have never seen in a film, and that excited me. In horror films, as in horrific events in real life, it’s often the visual element that hangs in our memories: You close your eyes and you see the traumatic experience in your mind’s eye. The Possession gave me more than one creepy image to haunt

REEL REVIEWS
DIYAH PERA
Natasha Calis stars as a 10-year-old girl who becomes possessed after opening an old box in The Possession. me, and I enjoyed that. HOWE: I loved the shots they used; looking down over the town or from a distance watching the house. It gave the feel of foreboding, something more sinister at work rather than just giving us a cheap scare. TAYLOR: Sam Raimi is the king of weird camera angles, and although he only produced the film (it was directed by Ole Bornedal), it still felt like a Raimi influenced film. With horror movies, half of the creepiness is often built out of camera placement. I’ve seen creepier films than The Possession, but there was at least one scene where I was near the edge of my seat. HOWE: Yeah I could tell you were scared a little bit. I had to move seats.
Even though it didn’t scare me (I jumped once and yet I knew the scare was coming), I did enjoy it. I like this kind of horror rather than the hack and slash type. TAYLOR: I do agree that this film is decent. It’s not the greatest scary movie of all time, but it’s worth a watch, regardless of your age, by the way. There’s nothing in this film a brave 12-year-old couldn’t handle. By the way, we didn’t mention it’s based on a true story. HOWE: Oh really?! –– Howe gives The Possession 3 dybbuks out of 5. –– Taylor gives it 3 rolled back eyes out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

When Howard Ketola moved to Vernon in 2009, his plans for retirement took a detour. Instead, Sifu (master) Ketola has been busy introducing the North Okanagan to Traditional Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan. And thanks to the support of Trevor Warkentin at Kees Tae Kwon Do School in Vernon, Ketola has been given the opportunity to expand his classes. “I am just amazed and overwhelmed at how he has opened up his studio,” said Ketola, who connected with Kees after he won a three-month introductory course at the school. “There are no coincidences — I’m a firm believer in that I’m meant to be here teaching this. “It’s gone so well and those students who started with me earlier this year are now moving on to the advanced classes.” Ketola ran a school on the coast for 25 years, the Mission School of Traditional Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan. “I was going to retire, not teach, but I started teaching again and I caught that feeling again and it made me reflect on the responsibility I had accepted from my teacher and that was to continue to teach.

People started asking if I would teach them and Raymond said I should teach. “He is 100 years old and I want to honour him. Master Chung is tai chi. He personifies it and I have accepted the responsibility to carry on his legacy and to keep teaching the pure form.” Chung Yan Man’s Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan was developed by Yang Lu Chan in

Howard Ketola is offering beginner classes in Tai Chi Chuan at Kees Tae Kwon Do in Vernon. the early 1800s. His grandson, Master Yang Chen Fu, taught Grand Master Chung, who gave Ketola the title Sifu (master) and the honour to carry on the teachings of Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan. “We call it a complete exercise: spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. “I offer the full system of the martial arts. Our ultimate goal is to be as soft and as powerful as we can. It’s about breath and focus — you cultivate the chi.”
“It’s a way of life for me and it changed my life.” — Howard Ketola Ketola will be offering beginner classes in Tai Chi Chuan starting next week: Tuesdays at 9:30 a.m., Thursdays at 9:30 a.m. and Saturdays at 10 a.m. Ketola said he is indebted to Warkentin and his space at Kees, as well as to office manager Carol Robinson. “She’s amazing and has helped me with
the brochures and anything I need; she keeps the place running. I want to stress how wonderful this studio is — the energy is amazing. “Tae kwon do is a hard martial art and Tai Chi Chuan is a soft martial art so you have everything here: the yin and yang. We have the ultimate example of the hard and soft and they complement each other. Trevor really wants to promote the tai chi and I think we recognize something in each other, as we are both very traditional but we are living in the 20th century. “We come from the same perspective on the arts we have chosen to study. I recognize a real master when I see it. I still take the tae kwon do classes because I like to be involved with all of these young people. I look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with Kees.” Ketola said Tai Chi Chuan is suitable for people of all ages and can improve overall physical and mental fitness. For more information, or to register, please call Ketola at 778-932-1947, e-mail hketola@shaw.ca or Kees Tae Kwon Do School at 250-545-7710.

ear Annie: Six months ago, I married a lovely young woman. While we were engaged, “Nina” and I had several candid discussions about finances, figuring that once we married, she would look for a job and we would split the household expenses evenly. Her parents were very generous and gave us a nice amount of money at the wedding in order to help smooth the transition until she found a job. Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Well, a few months after we married, Nina stopped looking for work. She suffers from chronic depression, and it got so bad that she refused to apply for a job, convinced that no one would hire her. She also refused to get counseling, saying she couldn’t afford it, even though both her father and I offered to pay for it. I have worked my best to keep a roof over our

heads and have even taken out loans in order to pay our bills, but I’m now $1,000 in debt. Recently, Nina’s father gave her a large sum of money. I asked if she would use a small amount to pay one of our outstanding bills. She refused, saying that this was her money and she could spend it on whatever she wanted. Over the next week, that turned out to be fast food and cigarettes. Annie, was I unreasonable to ask for her financial help? — New York Dear New York: Of course not. Nina apparently does not consider herself to be in a partnership. She thinks you should support her. And it’s possible that Nina combats her depression by spending money, eating and smoking. Nonetheless, this is not a tenable solution. She should not use her depression as an excuse to refuse help. We urge you to get counseling on your own and also contact NAMI (nami.org). Dear Annie: This is in reply to “Over-70Attitude,” who prefers handwritten notes to e-mails. Years ago, when postage was cheap, none of us thought anything of sending out lots of cards and greetings. These days, with postage being so high, people have to understand that if you’re living on a fixed income, those costs add up, especially during holidays when there are lots of cards to send. I feel that the message contained within is what’s important, not whether the card is a physical object or an e-mail. Making sure that your friends and family receive your warm thoughts is what counts. Instead of chastising your friend for sending an e-mail greeting, thank her for thinking of you and holding a place in her heart for you. — Florida Greetings

Moore is ready for his new musical journey Morning Star Staff
If you love to sing and have fun while experiencing top-notch voice training, the Paul Moore Choir is looking for you. Starting Tuesday, well-known local tenor Paul Moore begins the fall season for his new choir and everyone is welcome to come out and experience his teaching methods. “It’s the best $100 a month you’ll spend if you are into music or if you need something that will ground you,” said Moore, who has studied classical music and voice at the highest levels yet also sings, plays guitar, keyboards and saxophone in rock bands. He is also a musician who happens to have a black belt in Chito Ryu Karate thanks to Troy Shore, and a purple belt in GB Brazilian JiuJitsu thanks to Mario Devault. “I have sunk to the lowest depths of despair with panic disorder, and survived,” said Moore. “I teach a mixture of tolerance, acceptance of one’s self and of others, as well as strength
of character and voice and gentleness of voice through repetition of exercises and thoughts. “When I perform or teach I use humour to lead people out of fear or rigidity.” Moore said his students can expect the unexpected in his classes. “At the beginning of a class or performance, I notice people may not want to follow my ideas, so I try to take their minds off of their normal need for control by being unpredictable.
“It’s all about trust — when I earn their trust they go places they never knew they could, and so do I.” Moore has sung professionally across Canada and studied with opera greats such as Sherrill Milnes and Louis Quillico. Moore is seeking soprano, alto, tenor and baritone voices for the new choir. “Experience is helpful, but not necessary,” said Moore. “I will be teaching as I go, so we all speak the same language.
“I would like to work on rhythm, vocal technique, language and other skills.” He grew up in Armstrong, but the welltravelled Moore has studied voice at The Juilliard School in New York City, at UVic, McGill, the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria and the Israeli Vocal Institute. Moore has sung professionally in most major Canadian cities with opera companies and symphony orchestras as well as numerous national CBC broad-
casts and is founder and director of the Okanagan Vocal Arts Festival and Opera in the Park. Moore’s newest venture begins Tuesday from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at The Essentialist Church of Christ, 200145th Ave., Vernon. The cost to join is $100 per month. For more information or to register, please contact Moore at paulmoore@ telus.net or 250-5490780.

STUDENT OF THE MONTH
“I began selling Student 1st chocolates 6 months ago. The youth program has helped me with better communication, being more confident with people in face to face scenarios. It has also helped me gain a grade point in school because of my new math skills. Since starting I have enjoyed spending money as well as learning to manage money. It felt great buying gifts for my family last Christmas without asking help with cash. Having a new laptop is awesome and I believe it will enhance my learning in school. I am very grateful for the job skills I have aquired selling Student 1st chocolate and I feel that the experience gained here will help me in life. Thanks for the opportunity and I am very gratefull for the awesome new laptop. I think Gary has been a great role model for young people.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) If you’re negotiating something important, be leery of making unnecessary concessions. You’re in a stronger bargaining position than you may realize. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Even though you might be drawn into a problematical situation not of your own making, after everything and everybody settles down, it could end up being extremely beneficial. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Don’t rush to judgment regarding an idea hatched by your spouse or significant other. After considering other factors, it might not be as outlandish as you first thought. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Owing to your ability to revitalize endeavors that are gasping for life, friends and associates might end up looking on you as a champion of lost causes. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Think twice before rejecting a social invitation to join a gathering that would involve meeting new people. Chances are it will turn out to be an entry into a wonderful, new group.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Because your upbeat attitude has you seeing orchids where others only see weeds, chances are you’ll be the one who spots a great opportunity that all of your cohorts are missing. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Some of your ideas concerning a promising situation are excellent. Now all you need is to have enough belief in your abilities to put your ideas to work. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Because what goes around comes around, you are likely to be rewarded for a previous kindness. Ironically, recompense won’t come from the original recipient. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Even at the expense of shelving an ongoing project, stop and devote some time to getting your latest interest started. Chances are you’ll make more productive headway with this new project.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Lady Luck may take it upon herself to engineer two new, potentially profitable developments for you. Each will be completely different from and unrelated to the other. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Do your best to put your colleagues and playmates at ease. In fact, there could be more than one person with sagging spirits who could use some serious buoying up.

Separating oil from manure
I
was as surprised as anyone to hear about the plan by this newspaper’s owner, David Black, to begin regulatory work on an oil refinery for Kitimat. I’ll leave it to others to comment on the practicality of that
plan, and whether it would make the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline project more acceptable to B.C.’s government and population. Black Press news coverage, columns, letters to the editor and other
reader comments are not affected by this project, and there has been a range of views expressed already. Whatever the merits of the refinery idea, it has advanced the debate over pipelines and the place of oil in
our society. And that’s a good thing, because as someone with a basic knowledge of chemistry and some experience in oil refining, I have noticed a lot of ignorance about the subject. Today I’d like to
address some of the main misconceptions, which have been exploited by some opponents. The first one is oil pollution in general and how it gets into the environment. A global study

See cashier for details.
by the Smithsonian Institution in 1995 calculated the amount of oil making its way into oceans this way: Big tanker spills accounted for 37 million gallons a year, about five per cent of the total marine oil pollution identified. By far the largest source was oil runoff from land into drains, from oil changes, municipal and industrial wastes and other sources: 363 million gallons. Bilge cleaning and other routine ship maintenance added 137 million gallons, four times the tanker spill average. Air pollution from vehicles and industry deposited hydrocarbon particles equal to another 97 million gallons; natural seeps added 62 million gallons; offshore drilling discharges accounted for 15 million gallons. So that’s the first thing to understand. It’s not tankers and pipelines doing most of the polluting. It’s you and me. Then there is the propaganda about greenhouse gas emissions from the oil sands crude. Actor Robert Redford is one of the highest-profile pitchmen for the false notion that “tar sands” oil generates three times the greenhouse gases as conventional oil. The facts are clear. The most widely cited source is a graph prepared by Cambridge Energy Research Associates, which shows that 75 per cent of greenhouse gases from all types of crude occur when the gasoline, jet fuel and diesel are burned by the end user. Yes, there are variations in emissions on
the remaining quarter. Emissions from mined oil sands crude are slightly higher than steam extraction, which is slightly higher than conventionally drilled and pumped crude. The most greenhouse gasintensive crude used in North America is California heavy crude, which is conventionTom Fletcher ally drilled. Burning coal produces far more greenhouse gases than oil, as University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver has calculated. Two U.S. environmental groups, including the one fronted by Redford, have lately been promoting a study that suggests oil sands crude is more corrosive to pipelines. False, says the industry, showing analysis of pipes that have carried diluted bitumen for decades. The TransMountain pipeline has been carrying crude from Alberta to Burnaby and Washington state for more than 60 years. It has periodically carried heavy crude for 40 years, and diluted bitumen for 25 years. Some of that crude is refined in Washington and the gasoline and diesel barged up to supply B.C. gas stations. And of course Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii and all other B.C. islands depend on marine fuel shipments. And let’s not forget the most common heavy oil used in B.C. It’s called asphalt.

Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom has added his name to the list of retiring B.C. Liberal MLAs. Lekstrom announced late Tuesday he won’t run in next May’s provincial election. He said in a statement he is leaving “to pursue other opportunities in life” after 12 years as Peace River South MLA and five as mayor of Dawson Creek. Lekstrom quit the cabinet and the B.C. Liberal caucus in June 2010, after voting with the government to implement the harmonized sales tax. He rejoined the caucus last year and was appointed to the transportation job by Premier Christy Clark. Earlier Tuesday, B.C. Liberal house leader Rich Coleman confirmed his intention to run in the 2013 election, as the party announced two more MLAs are retiring. West Vancouver-Sea to Sky MLA Joan McIntyre and Richmond Centre MLA Rob Howard announced their retirement in separate statements Tuesday morning. McIntyre was first elected in 2005 and Howard in 2009.

Husband-and-wife team Sam and Remi Fargo are intrigued when an archaeologist friend requests their help excavating a top secret historical site. What they find will set them on a hunt for a prize greater than they could ever imagine. The clues point to the hidden tomb of Attila the Hun, the High King who was reportedly buried with a vast fortune of gold and jewels.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THE POINTS MATTER MOST OF ALL Julius Erving said, “I grabbed 19 rebounds in my first professional game and somehow found a way to score 20 points. I felt real good about it. I felt that this was the beginning of something good.” In this column, I often stress how important it is to keep track of the highcard points. Here is another example. West is defending against four hearts. He leads the diamond ace: three, nine, jack. He continues with the diamond king: six, two, queen. But what should he do next? The auction was straightforward. South’s opening was no thing of beauty, with his pointedsuit honors perhaps being
worthless. But with 13 high-card points, he had to open. And his three-heart rebid promised at least a six-card suit. North, with no diamond stopper, had no choice but to raise. First, West should check the high-card points. He has 14 and the dummy has 13. That leaves only 13 missing. East presumably has at most one jack. This means that the defenders will not get any black-suit tricks. West must try for two trump tricks. At trick three, he should lead a low diamond. Then East should appreciate that even if he could win this trick by ruffing low (South still having the diamond 10 in his hand), his heart 10 will not serve any useful purpose. So, just
in case West is trying for an uppercut, East should ruff with his 10. Here, South has to overruff with his queen and West gets two trump tricks by covering South’s next trump lead as cheaply as possible. When you want partner to ruff, lead a loser, not a winner.

Decorating with antique country pieces both inside and outside her home complimented the outstanding woodworking that was one of her many hobbies.

Eva Anna Neufeld (nee Friesen)
was born in Hague, Saskatchewan on January 16th, 1919. She was married to her high school sweetheart, Jacob Neufeld, for 70 years unƟl he leŌ for heaven in 2010, where he has no doubt been eagerly waiƟng for her to join him. Jac adored his dark-haired, long-legged beauty and as youths they spent many happy hours skaƟng on frozen prairie ponds and singing in the church choir. Eva loved her Lord Jesus. Everything she did exempliĮed her servant’s heart. She lived to make others comfortable and happy, and like Dorcas of the Bible, sewed, knit and crocheted hundreds of clothes and blankets for family, friends, anyone in need, and just to do random acts of kindness. Family depended on Eva to be the glue that stuck them together; she always had news of distant relaƟves, addresses and phone numbers. Gatherings were at her place, where there was always plenty of good home cooking and the most unequivocally delicious apple pie in the world. She had the knack for making people feel loved, secure and relaxed, and personiĮed the essence of a real lady – beauƟful, honorable, elegant, gracious, sweet and clothed with humility. All her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren can take comfort in the knowledge that she prayed daily; interceding for every one of them. Eva lived with dignity all her life. During her last days, she frequently heard angel choirs pracƟcing, and had many interesƟng dreams, visions and visits to heaven. On August 31st, 2012, while listening to worship at God’s throne, she leŌ us to be with Him. Although we miss her excruciaƟngly, we are thrilled for her and look forward to seeing her again very soon. Many loving memories are leŌ by Eva, to be cherished by her children, Eugene (Fiona) Neufeld, Violet (Alan) Shevkenek, Evelyn (John) Doerksen and Karen (Richard) Waller; beloved niece, Melody (Vince) England; twelve grandchildren, Julia, Isaac, Luke, Derek, KrisƟn, Meeka, Marci, Byron, Clinton, Lance, Joy and Jeordyn; twenty great-grandchildren, Luke, Anna (whom Eva is cuddling in heaven), Will, Mae, Ruby, Aven, Cody, Ethan, Isaac, Brinn, Elke, Eero, Braden, Amber, Sarah, Peter, Cian, Sarah, Jillian and Laura; her sister, Marie Funk; and her brothers, Menno, Omar, Jack (Louise), Buno and Ed (Amy) Friesen; as well as many, many in-laws, nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews, and friends. Brother Eric had previously leŌ this earth. A private Graveside Service at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery will precede a CelebraƟon Of Eva’s Life which will be held at Bethel Funeral Chapel on Friday, September 7th, 2012 at 2:00 P.M. with Pastor Herb McCormack oĸciaƟng. A RecepƟon will follow in the Bethel Tea Room. If friends so desire, they may send contribuƟons in memory of Eva to her favorite ministries: Wings of Healing Society, Suite 401-1676 West 11th Avenue, Vancouver, B.C. V6J 2B9 or Billy Graham EvangelisƟc AssociaƟon of Canada, 20 Hopewell Way N.E., Calgary, Alberta T3J 5H5. The family would like to say an enormous thank you to all the wonderful people on home support “team 2” who helped us keep Eva comfortable through her transiƟon from earth to heaven.
