Prairie drug case nets 12 years in jail ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A Coldstream carpenter has been sentenced to 12 years in jail for his role in the largest drug case in Saskatchewan’s history. William Bruce Larsen, 51, pleaded guilty in August to four counts of unlawfully importing cocaine, unlawfully exporting ecstasy to the U.S., possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and possession of ecstasy for the purpose of trafficking. On Thursday in Swift Current, Judge T.J. Keene of the Queen’s Bench of Saskatchewan sentenced Larsen to a total of 12 years in jail, but gave him credit for 11 months served in custody, meaning his total jail time is 11 years and one month. “I see his role as wrong-minded and contrary to the law and common sense,” said Keene in pronouncing Larsen’s sentence.
“I see his role as wrong-minded and contrary to the law and common sense.” — Judge T.J. Keene Court heard that Larsen became involved in a multi-million dollar, cross-border drug smuggling operation between Montana, B.C. and Saskatchewan in 2011. Larsen was involved in seven trips between February and October, 2011. He personally picked up six loads of cocaine totalling 611 kilograms, transported them back to B.C. and arranged for another driver to pick up and transport 30 kilos of cocaine. All of the deliveries were to go to organizations and individuals involved in cocaine trafficking.
Most
Larsen also delivered one load of ecstasy, totalling 95,000 pills, to a same location for distribution of the pills into the U.S. for further trafficking. The value of the cocaine in the seven loads ranged from $25 million wholesale to $77 million retail. The value of the pills was estimated at $1.9 million. Crown counsel submitted that Larsen was “a courier and an underling with only one real role, to drive the drugs back to B.C.,” and sought a prison sentence of 18 years. However, the judge agreed with defence’s argument for a 12-year sentence for import-
ing the cocaine, 12 years concurrent for possession, and three years concurrent for the ecstasy charges. Keene noted that Larsen showed remorse for his part in the drug ring. “Mr. Larsen addressed the court. He appears genuinely sorry for his actions,” said Keene. “He struck me as being anxious, nervous and rather unhealthy looking. His remand time has obviously been very difficult.” Larsen, who was arrested at his Coldstream home in October 2011, is one of six North Okanagan residents arrested in connection with this drug operation. One Vernon man was arrested in the U.S. He was sentenced to five years in prison earlier this year. Matters are still before the courts for the other four accused.

News Recreational opportunities hit the road RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Adventures await for Greater Vernon youth and seniors. Recreation services is operating a new bus that will transport children to programs, while the Halina Seniors Centre will also use it for activities. “Already the bus has been used tremendously,� said Patrick Nicol, Regional District of North Okanagan chairperson. “The kids will benefit, as will seniors.� The $84,560, 21-passenger vehicle was purchased with $50,000 from Kalamalka Rotary, $25,000 from the federal government and the remainder from RDNO. “We want to be proactive and reach into the heart of the community and assist families,� said Beth Marks, Kal Rotary past-president, of why the project was funded. The co-operative effort to put the bus on the road has the full backing of Colin Mayes, Okanagan-Shuswap MP. “It’s important to work with the community to meet those needs,� he said. Recreation services will use the bus to transport youth to summer camps and to pick up kids after school and take them to recreational programs. “There are already programs planned for the fall,� said Doug Ross, recreation services manager. “The kids will be able to participate in sports they otherwise wouldn’t be able to.� KidSport is a participant in the initiative. The Vernon Seniors Recreational Society, which operates the Halina Centre, expects the bus will be kept busy. “Once a month, our members go out on tours,� said Rosemary O’Neal, with the society. “When seniors can’t get out for our New Year’s or Christmas parties, we can then pick them up and bring them in.�

YOU AND THE LAW CONDO BUYERS! HELP FOR DELAYS & OTHER PROBLEMS By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. Interested in buying a condo? For some attractive-looking condo projects, buyers often sign a purchase contract for a unit well before construction starts. It’s not uncommon, however, for the development to be delayed and for the building not to be ready on the expected date. The purchase contract may anticipate this happening and allow the developer to shift the unit’s completion date to a later date by giving you notice. But does this mean that you – faced with not having a place to move into when planned, as well as with an uncertain condo market – have no recourse or protection? Not necessarily. Consider this recent BC appeal court decision which looked at REDMA and helped one buyer.
developer, however, knew well before the buyer signed the contract that the project wouldn’t actually be finished by the estimated September, 2009 completion date set out in the disclosure statement. But the developer never filed an amended disclosure statement to reflect this change. When she signed, the buyer was informally aware that the development completion date would be somewhat later, about November or December, 2009. But the project’s completion was further delayed. An occupancy permit for her unit was only issued January 25, 2010. (In the meantime, the purchase contract was amended to reflect a later closing date for the unit, which the developer shifted to January 27, 2010 as allowed under the contract.)
REDMA is the Real Estate Development Marketing Act. It is consumer protection legislation for The buyer refused to go through buyers of “development units” such with the purchase. So the developer as condo units (and also subdivision sued for the full deposit, while lots and timeshares).

bourhoods will be part of an official community plan review. “We will let the whole community determine if they desire this,” said Mayor Jim Garlick. “Right now, though, it is business as usual and we’re enforcing the bylaw.” Residents of the Sage Pointe and Bayview Heights subdivisions have recently expressed concerns about secondary suites.
Mosquitoes targeted in Enderby RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
There’s a buzz in Enderby about mosquitoes. City council will ask a Kamloops company to provide information on mosquito controls and the possibility of West Nile virus to residents, the regional district and the Splatsin First Nation. “If there is an appetite in the community to implement a control program, we’ll look at the costs,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. Resident Elmer Halvorson has been urging the city and the regional district to take action. “The threat of West Nile virus is growing,” he said in a letter to the city. “More cases are reported each year. If the city and regional district don’t instigate a mosquito control program, there is a possibility they could be

The city has agreed to the Enderby Arts Council painting a mural on the water works building near the bridge. “It will go a long ways towards beautifying the community,” said Mayor Howie Cyr.

Campaign fills food bank shelves RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon residents have a chance to help neighbours in need. The second annual B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive will be held Saturday and non-perishable food items will be collected for the Vernon food bank. “They are running out of food right now,” said Bob McKay, an event director. “We want to bring public attention to the need in the community.” The event is being organized by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and it also involves the Vernon Muslim Association. About 120 volunteers will go door-to-door in select neighbourhoods from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., and plastic bags for donations will be distributed a few days before Sept. 15. Some members will also canvass in Lumby and Armstrong for the food banks in their communities. Last year, about 5,000 pounds of food was collected during the campaign. “We anticipate we will do even better this year,” said McKay of more residents being aware of the event. McKay is pleased that the Muslim association has come on board this year and he hopes other organizations will get involved next year. “We want it to become bigger and bigger every year.” The B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive is a provincewide campaign and volunteers will collect food
in more than 40 communities. “We all appreciate reliable, annual events such as this to help the shelves remain with a sufficient supply so food hampers do not reduce in size,” said David MacBain, with the Salvation Army, which operates the Vernon food bank.

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

The leadership question
I
tried to watch a bit of the Democratic Party convention last week, just like I tried to watch the Republican Party convention the week before, because, well, it’s important and everything. Who ends up becoming the president of what’s still one of the most powerful countries in the world, and also happens to be our neighbour, will directly affect us. But hey, yawn. Sure a trimmer and lessencumbered-with-baggage Bill Clinton can still wow ‘em and Barack Obama is no slouch himself, not to mention the First Lady, but what are they really deciding here? Absolutely nothing. The nominee, both for Glenn Mitchell the Democrats and the Republicans, was decided long ago, these conventions just make it official. I know in the good old days it sometimes came down to the convention floor but apparently in these days of spin and control leaving such things to the last minute just isn’t tolerable, or even thinkable. So the best such a scripted affair can hope for is to gain some momentum with speeches and fanfare and move on to the actual campaign and televised debates. It is what it is, mostly about money it seems, but it sure takes away any real drama from these conventions. Oh, well, it’s all over now and we’ll see what happens come Nov. 6 in the land of the stars and stripes...... .....and speaking of stripes and political processes, the federal Liberal party has been meeting to come up with the best way to elect their new leader. Thankfully, it wasn’t televised. The once powerful party that previously thought it was destined to rule is down to 35 seats and third-party status and an interim leader who many still think is from the NDP. You know, the party that actually has official opposition status and recently went through a leader-
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
ship convention with real candidates and some sense of drama. Take note America. And the Liberals will do the same eventually, it’s just right now they’re trying to find a way to expand their fan base when it comes to voting on a leader, likely because there ain’t enough true Grits around right now to generate any kind of excitement. But, hey, the potential for excitement is there down the road. Let’s face it, Justin Trudeau is the frontrunner, maybe even the only runner, in this race and the buzz potential to put a young face, with a political pedigree, and maybe even an actual orator on the Canadian political landscape is, well, dare I say it, somewhat exciting. Say what you want about the conventions in the States being done deals before they start, both parties boast gifted speakers, with passion and poise, who can get the patriotic juices flowing. We do have Stephen Harper. The only interesting thing I can remember him saying, ever, is that Calgary is the No. 1 city in Canada. Which is wrong of course, ahem, but at least it showed he had passion for his home town and wasn’t afraid to alienate someone by saying it. Of course he was speaking at the Stampede at the time so maybe he got caught up in the excitement of the centennial or something. However, he should go off script more often because the rest of the time he comes across as bureaucratic and dull, hardly the stuff that inspires a nation. Heavy sigh. Oh well, maybe Trudeau could get Harper’s mojo going and elevate the national debate to new heights....... ....and on the topic of uninspiring leadership, isn’t it wonderful that NHL Players’ Association executive director Donald Fehr and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman both say they won’t collect a salary if the lockout goes ahead Sept. 16? Gee, that’s great. Meanwhile the two sides aren’t even talking as the clock keeps ticking to the third work stoppage in recent memory. Get over yourselves and the bogus PR crap, and actually lead and get a deal done. Enough already.
There are times when more than the required rules need to be pursued. And that most certainly is the case with a planned substance abuse facility and rental suites for men on 43rd Avenue. It simply isn’t enough for the City of Vernon to say that the proper zoning is in place for such a use and then wash its hands of the entire issue. Officials should have realized that there may be some uncertainty among neighbours about what is proposed. No one denies that treatment facilities are required so individuals can pursue a new direction in life. But perceptions can easily fuel anxiety and the rumour mill. Presently, a public hearing isn’t required if zoning is already established and variances are not being sought from the city. But as soon as the city was asked for a building permit or other approvals, that should have triggered a process to inform nearby residents of what the John Howard Society plans for that site. If it can’t be a formal public hearing, call it a public input session then. No matter the name, such a session would have been the right thing to do. In fact, if the city had initiated a meeting early on, perhaps the current tension between some of the residents and the John Howard Society could have been eased. Neighbours wouldn’t be left feeling that notifying them about the project was an afterthought or that they played absolutely no role in the process. If there is an important lesson to learn, it’s that the city needs to think outside of the box. Simply following the provincial regulations governing municipalities isn’t enough when it comes to keeping the public informed.

City should go after Ironman event
I
am writing to express my support of a bid to bring Ironman to Vernon. This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity for our community and I feel that we would be kicking ourselves in the future if we didn't pursue this vigorously today. There are many people that do not want to be perceived as "the bad guy" by going after an Ironman event. They feel as if we would be undermining the efforts of the City of Penticton to move in another direction. The simple fact is that every community has the right to pursue prosperous opportunities. For years, Penticton has reaped millions of dollars of economic stimulus from hosting this event. After a long relationship with Ironman, it ended in divorce; however, just like any relationship that dissolves, new partnerships are created. Once you have terminated your relationship you forfeit the right to have a say in the future choices of your Ex. Hence, we should not feel guilty about pursuing our best interests as a community. We are not poaching the event. Many people are pondering the ques-
KITIMAT REFINERY Mr. Black please do not take this personally but save your money and use it for something that is useful to mankind and the environment. I hope the pipeline does not even touch B.C. soil. It may just be wishful thinking because I just know that the politicians will jump in to the process and make deals with powerful people like you. After all who are we? We are the people, the taxpayer, and the people who must pay for irresponsible decisions that are made by persons in authority. However, there is one person you cannot influence. Who you ask? Well it is someone who can move mountains, destroy cities, flood deserts, bring cities to their knees, and worse. Her name is Mother Nature and all she needs is for some power hungry person to put some environmentally harmful object close to or on the Saint Andreas Fault.
tion of "why"? Why did Pentiction choose to end its relationship? That question will undoubtedly be vetted by our city staff and the concept of hosting the event thoroughly parsed before a formal bid would take place. The simple reality is that Ironman events are extremely stable and the majority of their sites are renewing contracts. The community and economic benefit that has been recognized by host sites has been enormous. There is no way that Penticton hosts the event for as long as it has unless it was having a positive impact. Further evidence to this is the fact that they have not abandoned
You could not have picked a worse place to consider building a huge and dangerous facility. You are a worldly person and have seen the catastrophic damage done when something goes wrong at a refinery. Human error, or, metal fatigue is generally the cause, however, placing a refinery this close to the ocean and on a natural fault line is in my estimation totally irresponsible. Enbridge cannot even build pipelines that will not rupture on flat terrain let alone a mountainous one. I cannot understand why you would have your name associated with a company with such a safety reputation as Enbridge. This oil will not even be for Canadian use. This oil will be sent to Asia. It is going to be shipped in super tankers that have a record of spilling their contents even though they are double hulled. Not just little spills but millions of litres of oil over hundreds
their race but simply looked for greener pastures. In business, brand recognition is critical. There is simply no more iconic brand out there in the sport of triathlon than Ironman. This is not being negative on the Challenge Family. The reviews of their events have been positive and I am a supporter. What I am referring to is the loyalty factor to the Ironman brand. Triathletes identify emotionally with Ironman races. This is particularly evident amongst firsttime Ironman competitors. They crave the moniker that is bestowed upon every par-
of miles of ocean. Yes there will be some shortterm benefits, construction jobs, but afterwards there will only be a few long-term jobs, and there will be very little economic benefit to the people of B.C. I would ask that you reconsider your decision. Jim Mellors PLAN PRAISED Media mogul David Black has my full support for his proposal to build a $13-billion oil refinery near Kitimat to process heavy oil from the Enbridge pipeline. I’ve had the same idea myself. Why should we let the Asian countries buy our Canadian crude oil and refine it for their markets when we could add value by refining it here in B.C. and shipping them the finished product? This is a strategy that would create local jobs for our own citizens and address the environmental concerns around oil tankers travelling in B.C.’s coastal waters. I know for a fact that Alberta
ticipant that completes the race: "You are an Ironman!" Coeur d' Alene, Idaho just signed for another five years and the inaugural Lake Tahoe event sold out in under a day. The host cities of Ironman events typically rake in between $8-16 million per year. Our local economy has taken its lumps in the past few years. Ironman would bring much needed economic stimulus and and international recognition of our community. Even if we are not chosen to host Ironman Canada, a strong bid may put us on the map to host other Ironman competitions such as their highly popular 70.3 race. Vernon is an incredible city and we have successfully hosted major events before. The challenge before us is daunting, but I firmly believe in the commitment and resolve of our community members. A strong bid for this event is important. I have started a support page for this event on Facebook. Please visit www.facebook.com/BringIronmanToVernon and "Like" us to show support for this opportunity. Jade Kersey
wants to do this because I worked on a project in East Edmonton (a stone’s throw from the refineries in Fort Saskatchewan) that would have seen it become a reality. And as long as Enbridge meets the conditions and standards set out by the premier, moving heavy oil from Alberta through a pipeline would be a heck of a lot better than shipping it by rail or truck. That’s why B.C. should be working with Alberta on exactly the kind of joint interprovincial venture David Black is proposing, a venture that would bring valueadded tertiary oil refining to B.C. along with the heavy oil pipeline. Shipping gasoline, jet fuel and other refined oil products by tanker is just as practical as shipping crude oil and a lot safer from an environmental standpoint. So let’s not waste this opportunity and the revenue and jobs it could bring to our province. There’s a lot we could do here in B.C. with a piece of the oil industry pie. Roop Virk

One local politician insists new opportunities for handling garbage are being missed. The Regional District of North Okanagan board has reinforced a mid-August decision not to pursue incineration as a way of managing solid waste at this time. “It’s important that we keep moving forward to find a new way to deal with solid waste,” said Kevin Acton, who was among some directors who pushed for a study to proceed on incineration but was overruled by the rest of the board.

The other reason for a new timetable is the creation of a new committee - agricultural advisory. Under the new model, which will likely begin in 2013, the Greater Vernon and electoral area committees will gather on the first Thursday of the month while the other two committees will be on the second Thursday of the month. It had been suggested that RDNO board meetings shift from the first and third Wednesdays of the month to a three-week interval, but that plan was shot down. “Having meetings at the same time of the month is easy for the public to follow,” said director Doug Dirk. However, support for every three weeks came from director Mike Macnabb. “It gives us more opportunity to think about issues and it gives staff more time to give us reports,” he said.

SHALRYN MORRISON Special to The Morning Star
Fresh from being in London, Olympic silver medallist Will Crothers stopped by the Cherryville Farmer’s Market recently. Spotted at the Cedarstein Farm Organics stall, Crothers was offering marketgoers the opportunity to see his silver medal as part of his heartfelt thanks for the support Canadians have given the men’s eight rowing team. “I’m happy to share with the community, and thanks to everyone who supports Canadian athletes, including the taxpayers,” said Crothers, of Kingston, Ont. “People are always telling me I should thank so-and-so first, because they gave a $5,000 grant, but it’s the Canadian people who give us support all through the year, so I always thank them first.” The men’s eight rowing team brought home one of only five silver medals for Canada from the Olympics. The team had only three of the Olympic team champions from the Beijing Olympics, yet there was still the spirit and sheer iron of will and strength to bring the Canadian team from a last-place heat to take the silver away from the U.S., Great Britain, and the Netherlands. Only the powerhouse team from Germany, which had not lost a race in four years, managed to hang onto its lead — by less than 1.25 seconds — in the face of the determined Canadian pursuit.

Paralympian paddles for cause ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
In his own words, Josh Dueck has seen a few very close friends leave this earth far too early, taken by cancer. So the Vernon Paralympian decided to join a cause to remember those that have passed away, and those still battling the disease. Dueck took his surf-
board to Vancouver and took part in the seventh annual Kayak For A Cure, an event held in support of InspireHealth and British Columbians living with cancer. “It causes such great pain and sadness to see them suffer, and then the void that is when they pass is immeasurable,� said Dueck. “I dedicated this paddle to
those still fighting hard, and for those whom have fallen.� Dueck himself raised more than $1,000 for the event that saw 30 participants paddle from Jericho Beach to Stanley Park and back. “I’m just getting into surfing and thought it would be good practice to paddle my board and have that extra time on
the water,� said Dueck. “The event itself was amazing. From our vantage point on the water we enjoyed a spectacular view of Vancouver to the west and gazed into the ocean’s infinite majesty to the east.� Together, all the participants raised more than $32,000 that will go directly towards integrative cancer care
in B.C. For those interested, it’s not too late to donate. Donations will be accepted until the end of September. You can donate online at http:// kayakforacure2012.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/ donorPledge.asp.

Road work approved ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The Township of Spallumcheen is plowing ahead with work at a popular recreational spot. Council agreed to spend $7,500 towards an access on a nonconstructed, non-maintained road at Rose Swanson Mountain, a site popular with snowmobilers and other outdoor enthusiasts. “We’ve had many requests about the road there,” said Spallumcheen Mayor Janice Brown. “We’ve never been able to maintain or plow the road in winter because of potential danger to our drivers and public works employees.” The money will be spent so that workers can clear spots for people to park on the side of the road, plow the snow away, and leave room for the township plow truck to turn around at the end of the road.

Elliott earns rodeo credentials Thunder roll in GRAEME CORBETT
Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Clay Elliott couldn’t have picked a bigger stage to serve notice he is ready for a career on the pro rodeo circuit. Competing in front of daily crowds of more than 20,000, Elliott, now of Nanton, Alta., captured the novice saddle bronc championship at the centennial running of the Calgary Stampede. He won both goes, riding Urban Warrior for an 82.5 in Round 1, and Down & Out for a 76.5. He earned nearly $1,300 for his performance, and more importantly, a coveted bronze statue. “Some of the best cowboys in the world have that bronze, and now I have it,” said Elliott, the son of former Canadian team roping champion Vern, and younger brother of pro bull rider Ty, who won the 2009 Wrangler Canadian Tour title. “The bronze is something else; it’s pretty dang heavy, I know that.” The down-to-earth 18-year-old has had a few months to digest the significance of the Stampede, and he is still blown away by the whole experience. “My attitude going into it was pretty good,” said Elliott. “Now, after the rodeo, I kind of understand how big it was and how much that bronze means. Once you think about it after, it kind of sinks in. “I really gained a lot of experience competing in front of all those people.

While the top-12 advance for championship, as well as a world champion in 1961. “He’s an older guy, but he loves bronc riding,” Elliott. “He’s got lots of run and he can really stop the senior events, only the top three novices make it. Elliott is currently ranked third in the saddle bronc. said Elliott. “He’s like a philosopher and I get along hard. That’s what you need. “Calf horses are a special breed because they have “There’s so many good up-and-coming bronc good with him.” And then there is always big brother. to be athletic, yet they have to be calm enough to riders,” said Elliott. “We all enter together, but it’s “It’s not so much the event work on their own when there’s so much pressure on only three that get to go.

Game 1 Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Brodie MacDonald recorded 38 saves as the Langley Thunder iced the host Peterborough Lakers 13-12 in Game 1 of the Mann Cup national Senior A lacrosse championships Friday night at Memorial Centre. Trailing 5-2 after one period, the underdog Thunder stormed back with five unanswered goals in the second period, taking an 8-6 lead into the break. Peterborough equalized on back-to-back goals before the midway mark of the third period, but Langley came right back with two in a row to restore the lead for good. Joel McCready led the Thunder with three goals, while Athan Iannucci had two goals and four assists and Alex Turner had a pair. Matt Leveque, Garrett Billings, Shayne Jackson, Lewis Ratcliff, Kerry Susheskie and Rob Van Beek rounded out the scoring for the WLA champions. John Grant Jr., the third highest scorer in Mann Cup history, collected three of his five goals in the first frame, and ended with 5+2. Game 2 goes today at Memorial Centre. Games 3 and 4 of the best-of-seven series are slated for Monday and Wednesday. If necessary, the remaining games would run Friday, Saturday and next Sunday.

A total of 96 athletes qualified for the Men’s Open division. Vernon’s Zen Shikaze (sponsored by Dunas Skate Shop and Landyatchz), Quin Finocchio (Ronin and Seismic) and former Vernonite Matt Rae were taken out by other riders in the first round. Vernon’s James Ware (Rad Wheels) hit the hay bales in the second round, and Brendan Davidson (Dunas, Sector 9, Aera Trucks), sidelined since June with an injury, advanced to the quarterfinals, where he collided with another racer. Strong, swirling winds played havoc on the racers, and with many competitors crashing into hay bales, straw was strewn over the course by the wind, making for treacherous corners.

Stars strike back Morning Star Staff
The Silver Stars battled back from a pair of onegoal deficits to earn a 4-2 comeback win over host Kelowna Kickers in Okanagan Men’s 50+ Soccer League play Thursday night at Kettle Valley Fields. The short-staffed Stars, bolstered by three players from two different Kelowna teams, gave up the early lead on a breakaway. The Vernon offence had several chances, but couldn’t hit the ocean from the wharf. John Gardner finally got the Vernon boys back to even with a nice left footer, low past the keeper. The Kickers retook the lead early in the second half on a nice cross that caught the Stars’ defence and keeper admiring the play as it was fired in. The Vernon boys started controlling the play after that, getting three unanswered goals. Gardner complete his hat trick to earn Stars’ Man of the Match. In other 50+ action at Marshall Field, Dave Dawson recorded the winner on penalty kicks as Vernon Kal Tire shaded West Kelowna 4-3. The Tiremen loaned the West Kelowna crew a couple of players to make it even, and found themselves trailing 3-1. Striker Ted Sheehan had generated several quality scoring chances for Vernon, but couldn’t finish. Getting the goals for Kal Tire were Dave Hampton, with a header, and two nice strikes from the alwaysdependable Mike Lloyd. Man of the match was defender Gord Campbell, who was stellar on the back line and made several good runs.

News Lodge Road open Morning Star Staff
Major upgrades to Lake Country’s Lodge Road were completed during late August, a week ahead of schedule. The work included a roundabout at the intersection of Bottom Wood Lake Road and Lodge Road, bike lanes, a sidewalk and a pedestrian bridge at Vernon Creek. “The Lodge Road transportation corridor serves to improve accessibility and connect neighborhoods with schools, parks and our downtown core,” said Mayor James Baker. “The project considered various user types. It is one of the first steps, with more to come, in building a vibrant and active community.” A major thrust behind the project was the 2010 death of a 15-year-old girl who was walking along Bottom Wood Lake Road and struck by a vehicle. “The community has suffered some tragic pedestrian fatalities in recent years which have served to galvanize our community in supporting efforts to improve the safety of transportation routes – particularly for vulnerable users,” said Greg Buchholz, operations manager. “We are very happy today to cut the ribbon on a project that improves safety for pedestrians, cyclists, transit and vehicle traffic and which connects residential neighborhoods to schools and parks.” Funding for the $1.5 million project came from the federal and provincial governments, as well as the municipality.

Greater Vernon minor hockey teams are teaming up with the Vernon RBC Cup organizers to sell tickets for the 2014 event. Starting in early October, minor hockey teams will receive $49 for each $199 ticket package they sell. “These are the standard full-event packages that offer all 13 games, including the semi-final and final games of the tournament,” said RBC Cup chairperson Mike Lane. “We see this partnership with minor hockey as a win-win situation – it provides minor hockey teams with an excellent way to raise funds and it helps us work towards our goal of selling our entire ticket inventory.” Agreement in principle has been reached with the Greater Vernon Minor Hockey Association. “The partnership will not only help minor hockey kids generate funding, but there’s an opportunity to see some great hockey,” said Greater Vernon Minor Hockey president Robert Kehler. “Our association is happy to be involved.” The Nor th Okanagan, Lumby, and Winfield minor hockey associations have also been invited to participate in the marketing partnership. Vernon RBC Cup co-chairperson Chris Collard will coordinate the program along with minor hockey representatives. Minor hockey alumnus Jerred Smithson, now of the NHL’s Florida Panthers, believes cooperation between junior and minor hockey is a good thing. “The kids see that you care. It’s not just the money. These national championships are pretty special. I saw that when I went to the Memorial Cup with the Calgary Hitmen in 1999,” said Smithson. “If the local kids can take part in some way in this RBC Cup, that’s

for travel companion, friend and possible life’s soulmate. I have a lovely home, but I am lonely. A house is only a jail if you don’t have someone to share it with. I am 5’5”, 160lbs, and have an athletic build. I am financially secure, I have 3 children and 3 grandchildren who do not live in Vernon. I am very active, I go to the gym, like to go for walks, I go to church every Sunday (Protestant) I like to travel and would love to go on cruises, a cruise around the Hawaiian Islands would be nice. Some of the things I do now to keep busy…WE will have to change. In a relationship a couple has to do lots of things together, and some things apart. If you are between 78 and 82 and would like to meet, please reply to Box #13 c/o The Morning Star, 4407 25th Ave, Vernon BC, V1T 1P5.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Your best asset is likely to be your ability to improve upon most anything, even things that are already pretty darn good. It’ll be those ingenious touches that add new dimensions. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Many pleasant experiences could be in store for you, mostly because you’re operating in a mode where others will feel compelled to do nice things for you in return for your kindness. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Try to put an arrangement together where you can function as the host or hostess. You’d be superb in this role, so give your talent a chance to shine. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If you desire to give a gift to someone who is very special in your eyes, remember that it’s the thought behind the present that makes the most impact. Select accordingly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Material aspects look to be favoring you at this point in time, with savory perks coming your way via business contacts. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Don’t fret if someone in your group tries to usurp the role you’ve been accustomed to playing. This person won’t get very far, but he or she may inadvertently make you look better. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Lucky you, because quite a few good friends might each do a special favor
for you. Yet none of them will want what they do broadcast to others. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Someone you recently met has been waiting for a signal regarding your intentions. If you really care, let it be known. If not, don’t string him or her along any longer. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You stand your best chances for success in an area where you are unselfishly motivated to invest your time. Try to rise above your own petty perspective. CANCER (June 21-July 22) If there is anyone who can infuse a spirit of warmth into a social situation, it’s you. I’m sure all of your friends would agree that you’re the primary candidate for such a job. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll work hard to make sure that your partners in a group endeavor come out as well as you. Your efforts won’t be in vain, nor will they go unrewarded.
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.

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE POINTS AGAIN POINT TO THE PLAY Nadia Comaneci said, “I have had a few turning points, one being the first day I entered a gymnastics school at age 6.” To finish the week, here is another deal in which a defender has a chance to find the right play if he counts the high-card points. However, this one is harder because he must not spend ages finding the correct play. East is defending against three no-trump. West leads a fourth-highest heart six. What should East do? South can see seven top tricks: three spades, one heart (given the lead) and three clubs. He will have to drive out the diamond ace,
so is in danger of losing at least five red-suit tricks. East would normally win with his heart ace (third hand high) and return the heart queen (the higher of two remaining cards). However, if he does that here, South will duck this trick, take the third heart, and play a diamond. East will win, but it will be the last trick for the defense. East must quickly count the points and realize that his partner has perhaps a jack. South must have the heart king. And when you are trying to establish a suit in which the opponents have one stopper, try to make them use up that stopper as soon as possible. At trick one, East must smoothly put in his queen.
Declarer cannot afford to duck, lest West have ace-jack-fourth. But when South takes the first trick and leads a diamond, down he goes. That is, declarer cannot afford to duck unless East took so long to play his queen that he has given the game away.

Pat and Whitney Buggey: married in Graysville, Man. in 1962.
A 50th anniversary celebration Pat and Whitney Buggey celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with relatives and friends Aug. 18, 2012. They were married in Graysville, Man. in 1962, having met at a University of Manitoba Valentine’s Day dance two years previously in 1960. In 1965 they made the trek to Vernon, B.C. to establish a home here with their two young children, Bryan and Valri. Whitney retired from Okanagan College as campus director in 1998. Whitney was

T
hat “Beginning of September Nostalgia” has hit me. It is the time we are all so conditioned to feel the expectations of a new beginning, the start of a new school year, a get-down-to-business change from the relaxed days of summer, to experience that spurt of adrenaline that gets us looking for a challenge. Walking through the farmers’ market the other morning, crowded with residents and tourists alike admiring the fruits of this valley, I suddenly felt sad thinking about the Pat Black coming closure of this popular summer institution as winter approached. I didn’t see anyone I knew but almost everyone had a smile and a nod of hello, and I felt very much at home. Then the real fun began when the Celtic group, Cod Gone Wild, started to play their wild and wonderful Irish/Newfoundland music. Everyone was toe-tapping, from seniors to kids, with some toddlers performing wild gyrations in the front of the crowd. It was truly an Okanagan morning with the sun beaming and a gentle breeze blowing. I guess that is what the nostalgia is about,

such a great retiree role model that Pat retired from Re/Max Realty in 2000. A weekend of fun was planned for their big celebration including a family dinner Friday night at Pat and Whitney’s home, a ride on the Cruise Okanagan excursion boat Saturday afternoon. Saturday evening included a dinner and dance at the Vernon Yacht Club for 65 relatives and friends including three members of the original wedding party. Clay Stenberg (Elvis impersonator)
provided the guests with a great evening of entertainment. A surprise performance by Whitney as he sang an Elvis song, I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You, was a highlight. This evening will be well remembered by Pat and Whitney as they were surrounded by relatives and close friends from across Canada, and also Minneapolis, U.S.A. They have two children and eight grandchildren. Life is good!

the loss of lazy summer days and happy familiar routines while the fall and winter approaches offering the promise of new challenges and beginnings. And new beginnings there are as information has come to me that the long-awaited Community Dental Access Centre will be opening soon. The target is for the end of September, beginning of October. Renovations are complete and supplies and set-up are in progress. The clinic is holding registration clinics for people on the waitlist and other low-income residents. The dental care provided will be at a reduced fee. If a client comes in with an abscessed tooth the clinic staff and volunteers will do their best to help them at a special evening clinic even if the individual has no coverage. Volunteers have tried to contact many of the individuals that are on the waiting list but some have no answering machines or the person’s number is no longer in service. If you were on the waiting list and have not been contacted please call the clinic and leave a message with a new phone number or even better attend one of the registration days. The registration clinics are to complete all the necessary paperwork before the centre opens. Potential clients can drop into the Community Dental Access Centre, locat-
ed at 3107C-31st Ave., Vernon, during the following times: Sept. 11, 12 and 13 from 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. or call 250-550-0338. The Seniors Action Network meetings will be starting up again in September. SAN is an organization composed of seniors and their supporters, sponsored by the Seniors Information Bureau that endeavors to address issues and concerns that are of importance to the well being of all seniors in the greater Vernon area. Representatives from Vernon Council and the Regional District are part of the group as well as many other organizations, and this is an opportunity to really have a say in what happens to you as a senior. Meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month at the People Place, 10 a.m. to noon in Room 006. Call Dayle Drury at 250-545-8572 for more information. Hope to see you there. The Arthritis Community Support Group has not set a date for their next meeting and if you are interested in being involved in this support group you can call Carolyn at 250-542-6333. If you want arthritis answers and information call toll-free 1-866-414-7766 or check out their website at www. arthritis.ca If you have any questions or comments call me at 250-542-7928 or e-mail blackmail1@telus.net

growth area. Mining in the last 10 years has become a major industry in Canada. Today there are well over 800 mining operations in Canada who employ more than 363,000 Canadians. Mining is expected to have high growth rates at the same time Canada faces skilled labour shortages. This is at a time when it is difficult to get Canadians interested in working in the mining industry. Most people remember mining accidents – which doesn’t bode well for this industry yet the safety standards in Canadian mines are the best in the world. On top of all that, not all mining work means you’re actually in the mine. With the use of technology such as robotics, computers and state-of-the-art equipment, a miner can be at a desk aboveground while operating
equipment hundreds of meters below. Besides a high demand for skilled workers in this industry, there are also hundreds of job related to mining; everything from working in the field of exploration to a desk job. In response to industry growth the college is developing and planning to offer a certificate in mining basic safety to help participants better understand what working in a mine really entails and what safety measures are in place. It will hopefully make participants realize that working in the mining industry isn’t like the coals mines of Cape Breton Island two centuries ago. All of these new programs will be offered through Continuing Studies at Okanagan College. If you are interested in these programs, watch our website or contact the office in your area for more details.

Sunrise Grief Retreat Society offers a weekend retreat in November for those who have lost someone they love to suicide CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
People who have lost someone to suicide feel the pain in a way that is different from that of other deaths. Suicide is a sudden death, often violent, with those left behind feeling guilt and shame and others not knowing how to talk to them about the experience. “People need help after any kind of grief, especially after a suicide death,� said Barb Schimpl, vice-president of the Sunrise Grief Retreat Society which sponsors grief retreats for different types of grief, including a terminal diagnosis. “In the suicide grief retreat, people all have something in common and they know they are not alone. They may have feelings of anger, rejection and blame for others. They have had no opportunity to say goodbye, there are unanswered questions and unfinished business and they are looking for some understanding and meaning in what has happened.� After a suicide, family members may feel helplessness, shame and stigma and be at risk for a variety of medical problems, including migraines, stomach ailments and psychological issues, like depression and post traumatic stress disorder. Andrea Hoye, president of the Sunrise Grief Retreat Society (formerly known as the Mara Station Grief Retreat Society), remembers her personal experience more than 30 years ago when her brother committed suicide. “I know what myself and my family went through. Each one of us had our own feelings of guilt, I because I was a nurse, and my brother because he was a social worker and we should have known, but we had no blame and we were able to get through it as a family. I attended a one-day workshop and that began my healing,� she said. The Sunrise Grief Retreat Society fall retreat for people who have lost a family member or friend to suicide takes place Nov. 2 to 6 at Cedar Tree Inn near Cherryville. The retreat is co-facilitated by Schimpl,

The retreat is coordinated by Hoye, who is an RN who has a background in home care nursing and was active in the development of North Okanagan Hospice House. The retreat begins Friday afternoon and ends Tuesday morning. Each day includes group sessions with professional counselors, an opportunity for one-on-one counseling and to try massage therapy, Healing Touch, Qi Gong and Expressive Therapy, also with professionals. There is also personal quiet time to walk on the trails on the wooded property, visit the pet llamas or use the sauna. Accommodation is in private rooms, and meals are included.
“We make sure people get everything they need,� said Schimpl. “There are many more suicides in the area than people know. There is so much silence around suicide and that compounds the impact. It is important that families and friends do not feel abandoned and that they are able to talk about their feelings and experiences. When people explore their grief, they can find ways to heal and hope.� It is recommended that people attend the grief retreat at any time they feel ready. After application, participants are contacted by phone to help them decide if this is the right time for them to attend. The Sunrise Grief Retreat Society is a registered non-profit society run by a volunteer board of directors with representation from

the Thompson Okanagan Shuswap. Most of the retreat staff members are volunteers or receive only a small honorarium. The retreat runs Nov. 2 to 6. The retreat fee is $550 per person and $900 for couples with limited financial assistance available.

Tracy’s story Tracy will never know if her son committed suicide or not. “He didn’t leave a note. He died of a drug overdose so we don’t know if this was despair or an accident. We had lived with a young adult son involved with drugs and depression and anxiety. We’re just not sure,� she said. She heard about the Sunrise Grief Retreat Society from a nurse who is a retreat team member. “It sounded wonderful. I’m interested in exploring the areas of regret and guilt and looking deeply at that loss with other people who have experienced this kind of loss and pain. I’ve done a lot of reading and that was helpful,� she said. “At the time, family and friends helped so much. The first year, you’re covered with this fog of sadness and can’t explore anything too deep because you don’t have anything in you to do that. Now I feel stronger. The pain has changed — it’s more intense, in a different way. Now, it’s the reality. I’m aware that he’s not coming back.� Tracy is looking forward to talking to others who have been through the pain of losing someone to suicide. She has approached other families who have lost a child to suicide but could not find someone who would talk about it and she often feels alone in her loss. “There is the psychological and emotional pain for those who have lost someone dear to them. It’s an opportunity to express myself to understanding ears. I know I will learn things that I can pass on to help other family members and friends as well,� she said. “I know I don’t go to the depths I need to to heal. I can rationalize and understand why I shouldn’t feel guilty but I think the group sessions will help me bring it out. I find that our society does not really embrace talking about death in any way. That’s sad, because it’s such a big part of our lives. Death, and particularly suicide, are scary things, but the more we can talk about them, the better we can understand and accept them. “I’m looking forward to the retreat.� Summer Special

s a parent sending my children off to school I had mixed feelings, as I knew life would never be the same as we hand our kids over to a large system. I wanted my kids to have a great teacher who was interesting and kind. I was less concerned

about their great French accent as I was their personality. My boys went to Beairsto, one left at Grade 6 and the other went all the way through the French program. I wanted kids to be nice to them, that they would make friends and for the boys to want to be at school. I wanted them to have a great education. I believe for the most part we had all of that and more. The boys had some outstanding teachers and made some great friends. As a parent reflecting back there are some things I would have done differently. I have two boys with very different personalities and learning styles, and it is important to understand this and I wish I had paid more attention to this. Making a connection with the teachers and meeting with them when you have concerns is really key, as well if you can bring in some extra resources like a tutor
this can be really helpful. At the same time, just being present with your kids while they are doing their homework so you are the resource can make a positive difference. Other parents are tremendous resources from everything from learning techniques to social behavior, nutrition, etc. and for support. In hindsight it feels like they whipped through school in a couple of years, being the wonder children and all. Sometimes daily living bogs us down with work, housework, laundry, our responsibilities to other family, community, etc. Time with the kids for school is very important. The early years make a big difference, especially with the fundamentals. I was very fortunate to have employers that allowed me to volunteer with the school
activities and this was so wonderful. Getting to share the learning experience, and to see your kids interacting with their peers and teacher is a great opportunity. Now with the fall upon us I want to buy school supplies and Michele Blais am looking at college calendars for one of the lads. What a great selection there is out there for us, from the arts and sciences to the very practical courses that are employment-driven — very smart. We have signed up for Spanish classes and am very excited about this now that we are visiting Spanishspeaking countries on a regular basis. Hopefully I won’t butcher the Spanish language like I do the French. I have found that people are just glad that you try to speak their language. Both of my sons speak French and have travelled to France where

they used it as well as in Quebec. They were able to have some additional great experiences because of their languages. Fall is a great time to learn something new as there are many courses within our community listed in the College and the Parks and Recreation calendars. We often set goals at this time and review that bucket list again and this is the time to try to put something into action. On a recent trip to Vancouver I was bombarded with the arts world, with so many great shows, galleries, and art on the streets, from buskers to paintings being sold in front of the gallery, the architecture, etc. I was so enjoying how all of these fill up our world with colour, and feed our souls. Express yourself! The beauty of growing older is we are less self conscious of our attempts and more willing to just try. Learning is not just for the young, be a lifelong learner.

Agility dogs bring home ribbons
LEARN THE DANCES OF POLYNESIA
Morning Star Staff
Four members of Vernon’s Dog ‘o’ Pogo Agility Group have brought home ribbons from the Agility Association of Canada’s National Championships in Nanaimo last month. “In order to comete at the nationals, the dogs and handlers had to qualify at a regional qualifier in June,” said club member Sietske Rijnen, who competed with her dog, Macha. “As the photo shows, the group was very successful and put Vernon on the map.” The dogs all ran the same courses but competed in different divisions according to height and age. Ribbons were awarded for individual placements in the six events and all the dogs and their handlers won ribbons. Aggregate points from the six events were calculated to determine final championship placements. Dog ‘o’ Pogo hosts a trial in Lavington Sept. 22 and 23, where these dogs and handlers will once again be taking part. As well, the club is holding beginner agility classes this fall.

Hospital auxiliary prepares for busy season Morning Star Staff
From fundraising to social functions, the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Auxiliary keeps its members busy throughout the year. “The hospital auxiliary is a very active group with many activities and fundraising projects,” said auxiliary member Nell McInnes. “We enjoy social functions, working together and new friendships. “We always welcome new members to work in the gift shop and to assist with fundraising.” The auxiliary has active knitting, crocheting, craft and sewing groups that meet weekly and make items for sale and items provided to the hospital for the comfort of patients. Last winter, members provided shawls to all elderly patients in the hospital.
Donations of craft supplies, small Christmas decorations, fabric and wool are always welcome. “Our auxiliary is proud to have donated
more than $2 million in equipment to the hospital in the last 25 years,” said McInnes. “These funds were raised by members through their combined efforts.”
The auxiliary holds its first meeting of the fall on Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. in the hospital education room. Anyone interested in attending is asked to please meet

How do I tell if my pet has a weight problem?
Many pet owners have a difficult time telling if their pet is carrying extra fat. In a recent study conducted by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association and Hill’s Pet Nutrition, veterinarians found that pet owners are frequently surprised when their pets are diagnosed as being overweight. Here are a list of obvious signs that your pet may not be at an ideal weight: - difficult to feel ribs or the spine - difficult to see the waist - the belly is sagging - the pet appears tired and lazy - resists playing - hesitates when jumping up onto the couch - lags behind on walks or pants constantly - barks without getting up If you think your pet may have a weight problem, contact your Veterinarian for advice and nutrition information that can help maintain a healthy weight for your pet. — Dr. Miles Latwat, DVM

For the love of creatures almost gone Armstrong’s Tony Walkden devotes years of research towards book on endangered animals KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
The picture of the little black-eyed creature that once lived on the grasslands of the Canadian prairies looks out from the page. With its habitat continuously turned into farmland, there were fewer than 50 blackfooted ferrets left in the wild, and only 18 in captivity by 1985. That number has since increased more than 10-fold, thanks to captive breeding, but it is still one of many North American animals on the endangered, or red, list. Tony Walkden knows all about the plight of the black-footed ferret as well as about hundreds of other endangered animals from around the world. The 20-year-old Armstrong resident, who has high functioning autism, has spent years carefully researching their every move. They are now the subjects of his recently published book, With a Dying Breath, which PHOTO SUBMITTED features some of the most endangered animals Armstrong’s Tony Walkden, left, with his mom Mary and brother Greg get close to a giraffe at the San Diego Zoo.

Arts Binchy will be missed
M
aeve Binchy, one of Ireland’s best-loved writers, died at age 72 in late July after a short illness. Binchy’s novels about love and romance in Ireland sold more than 40 million copies in 37 languages, and among her most popular titles were Light a Penny Candle (1982), Echoes (1985), Circle of Friends (1990), The Copper Beech (1992) and Tara Road (1998). The last of these, the story of two women who exchange homes in Ireland and the U.S. for a magical summer, was promoted by Oprah Winfrey, ensuring runaway sales. In 1995 Maureen Curry Circle of Friends, about childhood friends from the village of Knockglen, was made into a film starring Chris O’Donnell and Minnie Driver. Binchy’s novels dealt with issues such as betrayal and child-parent relationships, tensions between rural and urban life, and the transformations in Irish cultural and religious life in the late 20th century, and she left sex scenes to the imagination rather than provide graphic detail. This formula made her an international bestseller and put her in the top 10 of Britain’s most popular writers. Binchy was born in Dalkey, County Dublin, the eldest of four children. She recalled how as a child she was “fat and hopeless at games” but very happy, as her parents “thought all their geese were swans.” She went to convent school in the nearby village of Killiney, graduated from University College, Dublin, and worked for a time as a teacher, writing short stories during her holidays, before joining The Irish Times in 1968. In 1972 she was posted to The
OFF THE SHELF
Irish Times London office, where her account of the wedding of Princess Anne to Capt. Mark Phillips the following year was so notably lacking in the conventional reverent prose (“The bride looked as edgy as if it were the Badminton Horse Trials and she was waiting for the bell to gallop off ”) that it unleashed an avalanche of letters from readers – outraged and delighted in equal numbers. In London, 1977, Binchy married the writer and former BBC World Service broadcaster Gordon Snell, and they maintained homes in both London and Dublin before settling permanently in Ireland. She wrote that, like her parents, Gordon believed: “I could do anything, and I started to write fiction and that took off fine.” Binchy was a wonderful humorist, often telling hilarious anecdotes, many against herself. She related, for instance, how when the U.S. first lady Barbara Bush invited her to a lunch with other writers in the White House and everyone was asked what they would like to drink, she politely requested a white wine rather than her usual gin and tonic, and then watched in dismay as the others primly ordered mineral water. A full bottle of wine was produced for the one rather mortified Irish guest. Binchy announced her retirement some years ago, but the books kept coming. Her 17th, A Week in Winter, will be published in October. She won several honours for her writing, among them a lifetime achievement award at the British Book Awards in 1999 and the Irish Pen/AT Cross literary award in 2007 for a lifetime of literary achievement. Shortly before her death, she told The Irish Times: “I’ve been very lucky and I have a happy old age with good friends and family still around.” In truth, she suffered terribly in her last years from arthritis, while remaining cheerful and concerned about others.

GALE WOODHOUSE Special to The Morning Star
The Vernon Community Arts Centre was honoured this week with a visit by internationally famous potter Melis Van der Sluis. Van der Sluis is a potter, art teacher and ceramic artist from New Zealand, where he works in his own studio producing pots, strata sculptures and earth crust bowls. He participates in exhibitions and shows in many countries around the world and has just completed a tour promoting his new book about his life as a working artist. The book is richly illustrated with photographs of his work dating back to his early days as a production potter. At the VCAC, Van der Sluis engaged local potters with his wisdom and life lessons learned as a potter and entertained them with an impromptu demonstration of wheel throwing. Van der Sluis says he was incredibly impressed with his visit to the arts centre. “For a creative person to walk into the Vernon Community View Online Arts Centre is like walking into a facility in Utopia,” he said. LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR “Nowhere in my many travels have I seen a better community Melis Van der Sluis, a renowned potter from New Zealand, turns a piece arts centre.

Reel Reviews’ favourite comedies
P
erhaps no film genre is more open to personal interpretation than the comedy. Comedies are determined to be funny or not depending on your own sense of humour, which varies vastly. So it is that everyone has a movie that makes them laugh, while someone else won’t find it funny and vice versa. With that in mind, Reel Reviews will now attempt to provide you a short list of our favourite funniest movies of all time. Taylor & Howe TAYLOR: Many of my “best of ” come from the same source: the Zucker Brothers. Starting with the very early, raunchy indie, The Kentucky Fried Movie, the Zuckers set the tone for silliness. The list of their films should be considered classics: Airplane! (and its sequels), Top Secret, The Naked Gun (and its sequels) and Hot Shots (Parts One and Deux.) HOWE: Surely, you must be joking. TAYLOR: I’ve never been more serious, and don’t call me Shirley. HOWE: When it comes to comedy, the influential Peter Sellers always springs to mind. The Pink Panther movies are classics, and I’m not talking about the remake with Steve Martin. Insp. Clouseau is maybe Sellers’ best known role, but his funniest has to be Hrundi V. Bakshi in the 1968 movie, The Party. (It’s on Netflix.) TAYLOR: I’m a big fan of satire, so I tend to gravitate towards comedies like Rob Reiner’s Spinal Tap, a “rockumentary” about an ‘80s heavy metal band. Or the other improvised comedies made by the stars of that film, Christopher Guest, Harry Shears and Michael McKean, such as Best in Show, For Your Consideration and A Mighty Wind. Speaking of Reiner, The Princess Bride is a kid-friendly comedy. HOWE: I love the British comedy/ drama genre. A couple jump to mind. First up is Four Weddings and a Funeral.

FRANK MASI/WARNER BROS. PICTURES (TOP), FOCUS FEATURES (BOTTOM RIGHT)
Stu (Ed Helms) discovers he is missing a tooth in The Hangover. Ben Stiller as Speedman (below left) and Robert Downey Jr. as Kirk Lazarus star in the war comedy Tropic Thunder, while Tom Sturridge, Rhys Darby, Will Adamsdale and Bill Nighy star in Richard Curtis’ rock and roll comedy Pirate Radio.
This really made Hugh Grant a household name (well, it did in Britain), and I still believe this is his funniest role to date. The second is Pirate Radio. Based loosely on fact, it follows the story of the British government banning pop/ rock music from the airwaves in the ‘60s, so the radio stations took to the seas. Great story, fantastic sound track. TAYLOR: The funniest movies of the last five years: Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and Tropic Thunder. Both of these movies were hated by many, I think because they both pushed the envelope. Tropic Thunder also contains on-line at:

my favourite Tom Cruise performance of all time. HOWE: If you missed 21 Jump Street earlier this year, it’s now playing on payper-view. I found it the funniest movie of the last couple of years.

Acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol®) is the most commonly used painkiller in the world. It is also found in combination with other products like those medicines for coughs and colds, menstrual pain and muscle relaxants. Too much acetaminophen is bad for us and can damage the liver. Read the labels on all the medication you take to ensure you aren’t exceeding daily dose levels of 4000 mg. Flossing is difficult to do for some people so they don’t do it regularly. But flossing is an important part of good dental hygiene. Brushing gets rid of surface bacteria but only flossing can get between the teeth where you can’t reach with your toothbrush. It takes only 36 hours for plaque, the main cause of gum disease, to harden on your teeth. Flossing will stop this. If you aren’t already, be a flosser. Flu season is coming. We often get asked if a pregnant woman should have a flu shot and the answer is yes. Flu vaccine is an inactivated or killed vaccine so it will cause no problem to the mother or the baby. A deficiency of iron can affect brain function negatively and this is especially important in adolescents whose brains are still actively developing. Building a good nutrition awareness in our children is an important parental responsibility. Our pharmacists are up-to-date on all the latest on nutritional supplements.

Restaurant earns top recognition ANDRE LODDER Morning Star Staff
The McDonald’s restaurant on 25th Avenue has been recognized for promoting an inclusive community. McDonald’s received the plaque to commemorate the work they have done in conjunction with the Vernon and District Association for Community Living. Marita Veipans received her training through the association, and after a long period of unemployment, she was once again able to enter the work force. “I used to be a chambermaid in 1976. I was looking for work when I got laid off for about 35 years and I couldn’t find anything. I finally got a job last year, so I’m really happy to have a job,” said Veipans. Having a regular paycheque isn’t the only benefit for Veipans. She is also excited about the social aspect of the job. “It helps me to learn more about other people,” said Veipans. Lisa Dranchuk, manager of the McDonald’s restaurant, has nothing but good things to say about Veipans and her training. “It’s really good and it really helps Marita come out into the community and actually have some employment,” said Dranchuk. “It’s nice because it’s really close to her house and it’s really suited for what she can do. I think she does a very good job.” If Veipans runs into any difficulties at work, support from VDACL is just a phone call away. “If Marita faces any challenges she always calls me and we just help her through them, and Lisa’s been really great too,” said Courtney Niehaus, a member of the association’s community employment program. “She always takes my phone calls and we chat for a bit to make sure that Marita’s doing a good job and she always is.” It’s been over a year now since Veipans started working at McDonald’s, and she’s looking forward to continuing her work at the restaurant. “It’s been 14 months, I love it. I love my job,” said

When he’s not running miles on the pitch playing men’s 50+ soccer, Vernon’s Mark DeVolder is racking up serious air miles as a professional public speaker. DeVolder’s latest adventure took him to Monaco, where he spoke to the who’s who of mergers and acquisitions, The Klesch Group. Klesch is a long-term principal investor in industrial and commodities related businesses. Following DeVolder’s presentation, CEO Gary Klesch invited him to join his staff for drinks. “After I spoke, Gary Klesch said to me, ‘Hey, Mark, I’m Mark DeVolder putting on a little something special for everybody today. We’d love to have you there. Come for drinks at 7 p.m. and I’ll announce what we’re doing,’” said DeVolder. After drinks, Klesch said he was taking everyone out for dinner, and that he’d arranged for some special entertainment – Enrique Iglesias. “As the guest of honour, I was seated six inches from the stage,” said DeVolder. “It was a magical evening, totally unexpected. But then, when you’re in Monaco and working for Gary Klesch, expect the unexpected, as Gary said many times.” A multiple winner of the Top5 Speakers award, DeVolder’s most popular keynotes continue to be Harnessing the Hurricane: Thriving during Extreme Change, and Get Engaged! The Business of Relationships. DeVolder will be speaking in Kuwait Oct. 1 and 2 for Kuwait Finance House, the largest bank in the Arab world. He will also speak in Turkey later that month.

The value of clean and abundant water was in the spotlight at the Okanagan Basin Water Board’s annual meeting Friday. “When we take a moment to think about the importance of water, people get it. Life can’t exist without it,” said executive director Anna Warwick Sears. “But we also take it for granted here in the Okanagan. We have less water here than anywhere in Canada, but we use more. This year’s annual report focuses on the value and importance of water – to our economy and to our way of life – and the value of water management.” OBWB spent the past year building partnerships and focusing on projects that improve our understanding of water in the valley. In addition to its work in milfoil control and assisting local governments with sewage facility upgrades, projects included drilling groundwater wells to monitor water supplies in sensitive aquifers. Buoys were launched on Okanagan Lake to monitor evaporation, the Osoyoos Lake Water Science Forum was held to ensure Okanagan voices were heard as a new Canada/U.S. treaty for water is negotiated, and Make Water Work – a valleywide campaign was launched, encouraging outdoor water conservation.

The landmark Peace Palace in the Hague reflects the goal of the Dutch people to rally the world to resolve conflicts.
Finding hidden treasure RICK MILLIKAN Special To The Morning Star
THE NETHERLANDS - Most North Americans fly to Schiphol Airport, then onward to other European destinations or catch trains into fascinating Amsterdam. An express takes us south to Netherland’s less visited capital, the Hague, to view its many art treasures. On a walking tour we soon find The Hague represents both lofty art and high ideals. “King Willem II’s brother-in-law Tsar Nicholas initiated the first international peace conference here,” our guide Henrik proudly recounts. “This initiative inspired philanthropist Andrew Carnegie to fund this beautiful Peace Palace. Completed in 1913, it didn’t prevent the First World War, yet led to the World Court and 150 international law organizations working here to resolve future conflicts.” On a street lined with shops, a nondescript gate leads into a floral courtyard surrounded by row houses. Chatting with friendly residents, we hear how wealthy employers constructed this rectangle of cozy dwellings for elderly servants and how similar almshouses existed for the unfortunate since the middle ages. A canal-like moat surrounds the original city, as early rulers disliked the aesthetics of walls. Inside, this rich imperial capital presents baroque, neo-classic and art nouveau buildings reflecting old world splendor. Gothic protestant churches soar heavenward. City hall, adorned with red shutters and step-gable roof, stands in the center. Even the trademark Pizza Hut boasts an ornate interior. The Netherlands’ parliament stretches alongside the former court pond and surprisingly encloses the city’s earliest structures, the count of Holland’s hunting lodge and adjoining 1248 palace. From the courtyard, one gateway opens onto today’s glassy legislative building; another exits toward the grand three-story Mauritshuis. Prince John Maurice built MauriceHouse in 1641 on the edge of the royal

Old Hague represents the opulence of the city, when it was capital of a vast empire. court. Evolving into a prestigious art museum displaying an extraordinary Dutch Golden Age collection. These masterpieces typically convey delightful, insightful stories. Rembrandt’s Simeon’s Song of Praise depicts an uplifting biblical tale, while Jan Steen’s works warn against wanton behaviors. We grin at Steen’s portrayal of ensembles of citizens receiving comeuppance for silly debaucheries. All admire Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, considered northern Europe’s Mona Lisa. Yet on the opposite wall his lesser-known View of Delft overwhelms us with unsurpassed technique. Suspected of setting up a camera obscura inside a riverside pub, Vermeer captured Delft at a crystal clear moment amid white clouds, rippling cobalt blue water and golden shore. Another nearby museum contains an unfamiliar masterpiece. Beyond an array of watercolours and oil paintings, stairs lead us into a sunlit rotunda. Here, Mesdag’s amazing 14-metre high, 120metre circumference panorama magically presents North Sea activities swirling around an 1881 village with The Hague rising in the distance. A tram whisks us back to our hotel.
After extolling Dutch art, we ask the desk clerk about The Hague appearing more spacious and green than other cities in Holland. She smiles, “Old nobility estates were utilized to create large parks and greenways. Our city is also greener in another respect! Buildings feature ‘ecofriendly’ designs such as our own lowenergy radiant heating! And guests can use our bicycles!” Thus, pedaling along bikeways through prim neighborhoods and leafy parks, we’re soon visiting Mesdag’s fishing village. The depicted neo-classic royal pavilion and 1886 Hotel Kurhaus remain on a beachside knoll. Nowadays, one of The Hague’s two popular beach resorts, millions come here yearly to frolic. Viewing open-air restaurants, kiosks and a long, two-level pier, we merrily roll along the esplanade. Off the wide 11-kilometre stretch of shoreline, families create sand castles, couples picnic and kite-boarders sail through the surf. This off-the-beaten-track capital has long promoted art, world harmony and wholesome lifestyles. We now realize The Hague itself, is a world treasure.

It is with great pain and sadness that we announce the passing of our son Nicholas Tal Salisbury. He arrived in this world nine weeks early on Christmas morning at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital in 1985. Nick passed away suddenly on August 19, 2012 leaving us far too early. Nick had a passion for music and loved playing the drums. He was kind hearted, generous and loved to make people laugh. Nick was soft spoken but he always had a great deal to say. Nick loved the earth, but saw the problems in the world. He opened our eyes and hearts to many things going on around the world and fought to make changes. You can see Nick’s latest attempt to focus our attention on positive change at the web site that he designed in his spare time (cogscanada.com). Nick’s memory will be carried on by his parents Tal and Brenda, sister Colby, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. We love you and miss you Nick, our family will continue to bring attention to the things you were passionate about and try for positive change. There will be a celebration of life to honor Nick’s spirit on Sunday, September 23rd 2012 starting at 1:30 PM. The celebration will be held at the Paddle Wheel Park hall on Okanagan Landing Road in Vernon. If you wish to make a donation in Nick’s memory we will have a donation box set up at the celebration of life. All donations made will go to the “Ribbons of Green Trail Society” to help restore the BX falls trail. A trail our family has enjoyed for many years.
