Residents are being urged to rally behind tenants forced out of their homes by fire.

Five units sustained damage during the blaze at Kikanee Estates on Heritage Drive Thursday.

“There is either an adult or a child in a wheelchair living in each of these units,” said Karen Gerein, with the Vernon Native Housing Society, which owns the complex.

Some of the units will be unavailable to the tenants for the short-term while others will require significant reconstruction.

Alternate accommodations must be found as soon as possible.

“We have great tenants and they desperately need these units,” said Gerein.

Anyone with available ground-floor, one-level units Helen Sinclair is asked to call 250-550-5833.

A mix of one, two and threebedroom units is required.

Provincial assistance only offers emergency assistance for 72 hours but that would have officially ended today. An extension until Monday was granted.

“There’s not a lot of help you can get on Sundays so we broke our own rules,” said Helen Sinclair, Vernon’s deputy emergency social services coordinator.

“With ESS, we err on the side of humanity.”

Donations of furniture, clothing and other household items are also being sought and they can be dropped off at the Upper Room Mission, 3403 27th Ave. “It’s hard to see the tenants distressed like this,” said Herein, adding that there was overwhelming support from the community while the fire was burning.

“Neighbours opened their yards and homes to us and that was really wonderful.”

Assistance has also come from the Interior Health Authority and the Salvation Army.

The fire began outside one of the units but the cause has not been determined.

“We haven’t found the source of ignition,” said Lawrie Skolrood, Vernon deputy fire chief.

“There was no barbecue but there is some wiring there. We’re not sure if there was a dried plant where a cigarette may have been left.”

The investigation will continue early this week as an electrical inspector will be required to visit the site.

News Community gives hope CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff

Hayley McDougall can barely put her gratitude into words. Thanks to community support, she is now able to have the surgery that could reduce the unrelenting head pain she has endured for the past 10 years.

After local fundraising and awareness, a lawyer came forward to help and got McDougall’s doctors to write to the Medical — Services Plan (MSP), which reviewed the situation and agreed to pay for the surgical portion of treatment after previously refusing to do so. The experimental treatment for the condition, called new daily head pain, will take place at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona, where McDougall has already had surgery in 2008 and 2010. The surgery will replace the electrical device implant to the exact points of pain with the aim of reducing the pain. “In my most raw honesty, I have to reserve my hope. There is no proof this will work but it is my only option and I am doing it for myself, of course, but also for others who have what I have. Now it should be easier for others to get the surgery if

they need it and doctors can see how it works,� she said. “To have the community come together for us with such generosity has been unbelievable and it’s given me another ounce of strength to keep fighting.

People I don’t even know have writing and are encouraging me and it’s another reason to stay strong and focussed.�

Now that MSP Hayley will pay for the surgical part of the operation, estimated at more than $100,000, the $30,000 raised in the community can be used for medical costs not covered, including the device, battery and leads and programs for the device, tens of thousands of dollars, as well as follow-up treatment and other costs, and travel expenses.

McDougall’s pain has been getting progressively worse and is now at a 10/10 level for most days, leaving her unable to be part of the lives of her husband, Mike Halliwell, and daughter, Sloan, two. “I just have overwhelming gratitude to everyone in the community. I’m hugging people and in tears all the time,� said Kathy Goldie,

Hayley McDougall, with her husband Mike Halliwell and daughter Sloan, will finally receive help to treat her unrelenting head pain.

McDougall’s mother. “It’s just amazing. With the MSP and the fundraising, it gives us the freedom to book the surgery. We’re waiting for a call now. Since this is a brand-new procedure, they are figuring out how to book it. It should be in early to mid October. Hayley was just speechless

when she found out.�

While hope is in reach now, Goldie admits that she is nervous. “This is hard to say, but I’m scared. She’s volunteering for another medical procedure. They’re going to put wires across the inside of her forehead. I’m filled with admiration

for her and it could help her but I’m terrified. Now it’s attainable and we will see it through, hoping that it will relieve some of the pain and be part of the search for a cure for Hayley and others. We offer our heartfelt thanks to everyone for their past, present and future support.�

WTC has stated that the next Ironman Canada will be held at the same time as Penticton’s Challenge, which Ashton says will splinter athletes and volunteers. But he insists his community will prevail. “Penticton has made an incredible choice for the athletes. Challenge is incredibly well respected in Europe, Australia and New Zealand,� he said.

to get the rescue truck in, we’d do that,” said Cummings.

Both councils discussed the merits of expanding the firehall, a suggestion first brought to the table in 1978, just 10 years or so after the current hall opened.

In 2011, Cummings presented a conceptual hall expansion plan from architect Bernd Hermanski that he estimated would cost $1.6 million.

Among the current issues, besides space for a new rescue truck, is shower facilities.

Presently, there is one and Cummings said it is old, dirty and grungy.

And with the department now considering applications from at least two women firefighters, new and more showers are a must.

“Cancer in the fire industry is a huge problem, and guys are told to shower after a call out and to wash their turnout gear to remove the toxins,” said Cummings.

“It’s impossible for our members to abide by the rules we’re trying

to set down. If female firefighters join the hall, we’ll need adequate facilities for them.”

Armstrong Coun.

Ryan Nitchie believes the current hall has outlived its usefulness.

“The building was built around 1978 and has lasted for 35 years.

This expansion plan gives us another 35 years,” said Nitchie. “We can figure out how to do the financing.”

Spallumcheen Coun.

Christine Fraser moved to send the plan to tenders, and to seek grant funding to help pay for expansion.

“What the architect put forward is just a ballpark figure,” said Fraser. “We should send out tender documents and see what actual numbers come back.

We can’t do this without grant funding. The township is not in financial position to fund the whole project.”

The councils voted unanimously to direct staff to prepare tender documents for the preparation of bidding and construction docu-

Passionate volunteer earns Jubilee medal ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Spallumcheen resident Rhonda Burr figures she’s just one small sliver of the large volunteer pie in the township.

But when it takes Mayor Janice Brown more than a minute to read the list of groups

and organizations that Burr has been a part of, the picture becomes clear as to why Burr is a very deserving winner of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Award.

“I am totally humbled,” said Burr, who was accompanied to the award ceremony at Spallumcheen council

“Let us give you something to smile about...”

Dr. Sean Bicknell and Dr. Karl Denk are pleased to welcome Dr. Isabelle Henri to the pracƟce. Dr. Henri brings many years experience in all facets of family denƟstry, and is excited to now call Vernon home.

“I am just such a small piece of the number of people who put many many hours of volunteerism into their communities.

“We have so many wonderful volunteers in our community, and I accept this award on their behalf.”

Burr has volunteered with the North Okanagan Minor Hockey Association the North Okanagan Junior Knights hockey club.

She lobbied for and successfully instituted a block watch program in Spallumcheen’s largest housing subdivision.

Burr has been instrumental with the Armstrong Co-Op as a board member, and in helping the Armstrong Co-Op Minor Soccer program.

She serves as a scrutineer during local government elections, and has been heavily involved with the Okanagan Regional Library including its

But the one organization that is so close to Burr’s heart is the North Okanagan Community Life Society, where she serves as co-chairperson.

“This has been my passion my entire life, having the opportunity to speak for those who can’t speak for themselves, mentally challenged adults,” said Burr.

Brown called Burr an inspiration to her and the township.

“All the programs that Rhonda has been involved with have been very successfully received by our community,” said Brown.

“Rhonda is the type of person who does not ask for recognition and neither accepts it. She is a very passionate and communit y-minded individual who steps up no matter what challenges she faces in her own life.

City council has approved changes to the route 4-East Hill transit service. After leaving the transit terminus on 31st Avenue, the bus will travel along 30th Avenue so residents can easily reach the new library.

“I like that we’re moving forward with this,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham.

Some residents with mobility issues were concerned they could not easily walk from the transit terminus to the library. Among the difficulties is the grade of 30th Avenue.

It’s also hoped the bus stop will benefit parents with strollers.

Prior to the new bus stop opening, though, the city’s accessibility

committee will review the plans Sept. 20.

“Should they accept the proposal, it should only take a week to install it (stop) after that meeting,” said Amanda Watson, transportation technician.

Council has also approved terms of reference for a 25-year North Okanagan transit plan.

“The benefit is we have people talking about vision,” said Coun.

Mary-Jo O’Keefe.

Coun.

Catherine Lord opposed the plan.

“Twenty-five years is too long. After three or four years, there are new people at the table and you can’t really project where you’re going,” she said.

“I want to see action and not more plans.”

removed, as it would make the property more appealing to potential buyers. “These documents (covenants) are barriers to sale and subsequent development of this important site which is at one of the entrances to the District of Coldstream,� said Broderick.

As one of the few commercial properties in Coldstream, Broderick says the property could generate increased tax dollars and economic spin-offs for the community. “The underlying zoning (C2 - highway and tourist commercial) would allow for a

range of uses that could bring substantial investment to the District of Coldstream.�

He has had queries for a variety of uses on the site, including a yoga/wellness studio, professional offices and cafe/restaurant.

Oddly enough, Broderick admits the

two contradictory covenants that were put in place were likely during his tenure as director of development services at the district. “That was an oversight from staff, which was probably me at the time. But it’s problematic in my role now.�

Restore it to its original beauty!

City council provides grant to Elks Lodge RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A local service club is getting a boost.

Vernon council will provide the Elks Lodge with a one-time grant of $7,976 for interior upgrades. “This organization has a historic tradition that exudes community,� said Coun. Patrick Nicol.

The finance committee had recommended the grant request be denied because the Elks Lodge does not conform with policies and does not provide a service unique from other organizations.

Nicol disagreed with that view. “They have given thousands of dollars to worthy charities,� he said.

DVA request denied The former flower shop property on 31st Avenue isn’t being demolished any time soon.

The Downtown Vernon Association wanted the building removed so parking could be installed, but another activity could possibly occur on the site soon. “Council has offered this site and a portion of the former medical clinic site to the Vernon Public Art Gallery for a proposed new facility, until Dec. 31, 2012,� said Brent Bandy, the city’s real estate manager.

However, if the art gallery’s plans are unsuccessful, the city’s next step will be to lease the building out to a commercial interest.

If the building cannot be leased, council would consider demolition and parking improvements as part of the 2014 budget process.

This is the law

S

ome odds and ends from the world around us, such as it is, which is apparently maybe more odd than we previously thought, or maybe these are signs it’s actually nearing the end..... ....apparently the board of health in New York City is taking the war on obesity in America to the next level by banning sales of really big sodas and other sugary drinks. The new rule, proposed initially by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and approved by a board after months of study, will place a 475-millilitre limit (almost 17 ounces) on non-diet soda, sweetened teas and any other calorie-loaded drinks at eateries. It doesn’t apply, apparently, to supermarkets Glenn Mitchell or the majority of convenience stores.

Yikes.

Although I understand the reasons and appreciate the severity of the problem in America, and here for that matter although to a lesser degree I believe, it’s an odd approach from the land of the free.

Whenever government wants to impose its will on the marketplace and kids and parents, for their own good, it raises a few questions.

Like why?

Where are the parents?

How much is this do-good ‘experiment’ costing taxpayers and how will you ever measure results?

Wouldn’t going after excessive gaming and a sedentary lifestyle combined with lack of physical fitness be a better approach?

Can they have larger fries with a smaller pop instead or would that be worse?

Although I’m not necessarily a supporter of bigger drinks – because I’m cheap and my kids never finished them and I know I could never finish one and my kids could never either so what’s the point – and even wondered at times why they had them, it never crossed my mind to make their

MITCHELL’S MUSINGS

availability against the law.

Now I know we can also go a long way in lowering our salt intake, I’m not so sure about energy drinks either, and my diet could use a makeover, not to mention my physical regimen.

But most of that, if not all, should be on me.

Certainly the taxpayers are potentially on the hook for everyone’s poor health choices but I think education and positive reinforcement is a better way to go than legislation.

Sometimes I do think these days of getting in an uproar about virtually everything, and demanding the government do something about it, lacks what we need most, common sense.

Moderation is the way to go. I think the money spent on this experimental program would have been better spent on a mentorship program or educational initiative, but, hey, we’ll see what happens.

I just hope there isn’t a rebel run on biggie drinks just because they’re now contraband. Now wouldn’t that be ironic..... .....speaking of laws for our own good, is it just me or are there fewer and fewer cyclists wearing helmet these days?

And I’m not just talking about our kids here.

Grown-ups and youngsters alike seem to have abandoned their lids for, I guess, the thrill of having the wind blowing through their hair.

Now I would say the serious cyclists mostly don helmets and that’s good because speed is a factor.

And, again, it is against the law to ride a bike without one, but that doesn’t seem to be helping and I can’t blame the authorities for trying to enforce it when it’s so rampant and, really, there are more serious things to address out there.

But it kind of helps make my point of making laws to protect people from themselves, it’s expensive and the results are often less than desirable.

So common sense, again, should rule the day.

Sure they’re rarely fashionable and can give you helmet head all day but you really should wear one for safety sake, if not for the law. And even on short trips too, you know like riding to the store to get a medium-sized drink.

A challenge has been put before North Okanagan politicians but it’s not their’s alone to make.

The City of Vernon is currently considering whether it should bid to host Ironman Canada from 2013 to 2017. But because of the scope of the event — cycling, running and swimming, there would be a need for the communities of Coldstream, Spallumcheen, Armstrong, Enderby and the electoral areas to come board, as well as possibly Lake Country and Salmon Arm. Because Vernon’s bid would have to be submitted by Sept.

24, city officials have been working around the clock to determine the potential benefits and implications from such an event.

Discussions have been held with the outlying communities and many of them will be discussing at their council meetings Monday. A quick decision on participation has to be made by them so Vernon council can make a final decision on a bid Friday.

Now this is where all of the residents of the North Okanagan come into play.

As part of their process, all of the municipal councils need to hear from their constituents and businesses on whether Ironman should be brought to the region.

If it does come, there could be significant economic spinoffs as thousands of athletes stay here, while there would also be international exposure. On the other side, each participating municipality would be responsible for significant costs for traffic control, security, shuttle buses, garbage control, etc.

With the clock ticking, your elected officials need to hear from you.

Help them make a decision that is right for the region.

Specialist responds to article

I

am writing in response to an article printed in The Morning Star July 6.

Yes, many symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes are effectively treated with hormone therapy. However, I would like to clarify the definitions and safety information in the article.

The article detailed that women can safely take bio-identical hormones with no risk and with many health benefits.

Bio-identical is is a term to be used with caution.

Authorities, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Endocrine Society, the International Menopause Society, the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the North American Menopause Society have all issued statements cautioning women that bio-identical custom-compounded hormone therapy carries the same risks as traditional therapy. ' It is important to know that hormones are hormones and they all have risks.

Every woman must know her personal risks and determine if she can safely take hormones. Many women will have tremendous benefit but should be prescribed effective therapy, screened thoroughly and followed for the duration of therapy.

Bio-identical is a term used to describe medication containing estrogen, progesterone and other hormones that replicate those hormones produced in the ovaries.

Traditional brand name hormone therapy exists that replicates ovarian hormones and has been tested thoroughly over decades in large studies of tens of thousands of women.

RECOVERY CENTRE I have recently been made aware that the John Howard Society has purchased a property on 43rd Avenue in the 2500 block. This property consists of a home and a six-plex in the rear.

Upon further investigation, I learned that this was going to be turned into a recovery centre. The six-plex will be rentals, as it is now, with the exception that those renting must be clean and sober.

At no time was anyone in the surrounding community approached as to how they feel about this type of service being introduced into this residential, family-oriented neighbourhood.

I would think that might have been a first step to take in order to get good feedback.

Apparently, the news that a recovery centre was in the works became public much quicker than was anticipated. I also question as to why a recovery centre would position itself near a liquor store. There

The side effects and the delicate balance of risks/benefits are well known with these therapies.

Custom-compounded, bio-identical hormones are untested and unregulated by Health Canada.

There is no evidence — good or bad — to support the use of these products.

Even though custom-compounded therapy comes from plants, they still need to be commercially processed to to become bio-identical.

These products are often formulated in methods that are

is also a high school a block away, an elementary school a block-anda-half away, and a day care half a block away.

I fully understand the need for this type of facility. I also understand that this is one of those "not in my backyard" type of businesses. When a project like this is thought of and acted upon without the benefit of consultation with the community that you are about to encompass, it suggests that you are not being straight forward.

Why would you not hold open community meetings and explain what is really happening before embarking on the purchase of a property? I, for one, feel this is a way of coming in through the back door and trying to tie the hands of this community.

A project like this, in a residential setting, has far more impact on the property owners than you may realize. Many people have lived here for a long period of time and have strong roots. Others have not been

here for as long but have a strong desire to make this their long-term home and have shown so by the care they have taken with their property.

When a business of this type moves into a neighbourhood, it changes the area. Property values decrease. Nobody I know would choose to live around a recovery centre.

Without both proper consultation and community support and approval, I feel this project should be seriously reconsidered.

Michael McVeigh TREATMENT FACILITY I live a few short blocks from the site of John Howard Society's new treatment facility on 43rd Avenue and am in full support that this project goes ahead.

The main reason being that addiction is a serious and prevalent issue in our society and there is a huge need for treatment and rehabilitation options.

The fact that the John Howard

absorbed to unpredictable levels in the blood and tissues which can lead to significant health risks.

Further, testing hormone levels through saliva and blood is not credible for midlife women. Hormone levels vary throughout the day, and from day to day, making results unreliable and inconsistent.

Hormone therapy should be prescribed to treat each woman's unique symptoms effectively, not titrated to to blood or saliva results. Therapy should be stared at the lowest dose possible and graduated upwards if needed for symptom control only.

Dosing should not be increased or decreased to attain saliva and serum levels. This can overshoot or under treat symptoms and may not provide adequate protection against risks.

Hormone therapy should not be used to treat chronic disease or general medical problems.

For detailed information about both extensively studied hormone therapy and custom-compounded bio-identical therapy, see menopause.org, menopauseandu.ca and www. endo-society.org.

Society is increasing services to our small community is something to be commended.

Community members who oppose this idea may want to consider that a treatment centre that is staffed by professionals is a better option for the surrounding neighbourhood than a crack house. The John Howard Society provides a crucial service that saves the lives of people with serious addiction issues, and they need our continued support.

We cannot assume that people with addiction automatically will commit criminal acts or pose a threat to the community.

Addiction generally stems from some form of life trauma, abuse, mental health issue and a myriad of other life events that may have been unavoidable.

Again thank you to the John Howard Society for providing this vital service to the community in which we live.

grated into contemporary water management, he explained.

According to Syilx knowledge-holder Leon Louis, his people have been in the Okanagan for thousands of years and had been managing the land well until the rest of the world came.

“Today we use water in a disrespectful way. If we want this water to be here for the future, we need to take care of it,” he said.

“Our people have a lot of knowledge. We want to share it.”

Pepper said the Syilx nation has been caretaker of the water for thousands of years and the way they look at the land is different from how the Western world looks at things.

He intends to take that view and translate it into a way that will be understood by the western world so that its management becomes something all can work on together.

The Columbia-Shuswap Regional District is holding an organic and metal waste disposal event at the Falkland transfer station from Oct. 1 to Nov. 10.

During the event, residents can drop off items such as stoves, hot water tanks, washers and dryers, metal doors and siding for free. The organic material includes basic yard waste generated from homes.

“There is a $15 charge on items requiring removal of ozone depleting substances,” said waste reduction facilitator Carmen Fennell. “The regional district pays a contractor to remove freon from fridges, air conditioners, freezers and water coolers and this $15 charge pays for that cost.”

Tourney rolls out funds for charities Morning Star Staff

Charities were the big winner during the 20th annual Fun in the Sun golf tournament.

The New Car Dealers of Vernon event at the Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club raised $15,000.

“This is our 20th year, and in that time, we have donated more than $150,000 to youth and health care in our community,” said Ross Blankley, New Car Dealers Association president.

“We’re all feeling pretty good about that.”

Of the funds raised, $7,500 will help the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club of Vernon build a climbing wall and $7,500 will support the Upper Room Mission’s Fresh Start program.

The first place team, with a score of 10 under par was Watkin Ford Motors 2, made up of Scotty Cameron, Greg Kowal, Kim Lehr and Doug Dennison. Right behind them with a score of 9 under was Toyota 1, comprised of Marty Steele, Erma Main, Tim Proctor and Janice Ogata.

Also with 9 under in third place was Watkin Ford Motors again, this time Team 5 with Ross Blankley, Mark Roberts, Scott Morrice and

Jonathan Jones. This is such a tight competition that once again the RCGA Rules were necessary to break a three-way tie for second, third and fourth place.

Finishing just out of the medals was Team Adesa who took home the winning trophy in 2011.

With a time of 42 seconds, the winners of the speed round was The Morning Star comprised of Ian Jensen, Alan Tomiak, Sheryll Bissell and Glenn Mitchell.

KP winners, in no particular order are: Adrian Wyant, Ross Blankley, Brad Ohashi, Ryann Finnie, Dick Rosman, Grant Boeckx, Scott Finlayson, Kim Lehr, Janice Ogata, Angie Culbert, and Luke Hornhardt.

Ladies longest drive was taken by Jenn Scott

and the men’s by Audias Valverde.

“It’s important for Gumtree to support and use our wonderful products available in this area,” said Kyla Macaulay, Gumtree Catering’s founder and co-owner. “Not only does it make the food taste better, it enriches all of our lives when our community is flourishing.”

Proceeds from this second Roots ‘n Brews go to support local food programs and initiatives.

Bootsma eyes MLA’s job LIMITED TIME OFFER!

NO TAX

MARTHA WICKETT Black Press

Former Salmon Arm Mayor Marty Bootsma is coming out of retirement.

Bootsma hopes to replace outgoing Liberal MLA George Abbott and will be seeking the candidacy for the Shuswap constituency in the next election.

“I’d like to see the B.C. Liberal Party back in the driver’s seat after the next election,” he said, adding that he doesn’t see himself taking up a losing battle.

“Absolutely not. I keep hearing about a sinking ship.

It might be floundering a bit but it’s not sinking.”

After serving on Salmon Marty Bootsma Arm council as a councillor for two terms and as mayor for another two, Bootsma did not seek reelection in the 2011 election. He said he’s been travelling a little, working on his acreage and spending time with his family.

Does he have the stamina to re-enter politics?

“Oh, I do,” he said. “I find I have way too much.”

And he says he has enough experience for the job.

“I’ve dealt with quite a few provincial issues, cabinet ministers and MLAs, I’ve been to quite a few UBCM’s (Union of BC Municipalities conventions)... I know quite a bit about what it’s about and what’s required.”

Bootsma said he has a group of supporters who want him to run, but wouldn’t say if Abbott is among them. He doesn’t know if anyone else will be seeking the Liberal candidacy in the riding.

As for polls that show the NDP favoured to win the next provincial election, Bootsma points to Alberta.

“If you’re going to rely on polls, look at what happened to the Wild Rose Party in Alberta.

They were going to sweep the province in polls taken just days before the election,” he said, noting the May 14, 2013 election in B.C. is still several months away.

District considers surplus sale Morning Star Staff

Some North Okanagan-Shuswap schools could be going on the block.

The board passed a motion Tuesday declaring a number of school sites are surplus to the needs of the district.

“We are getting the properties appraised to determine fair market value,” said Sterling Olson, secretary-treasurer.

This motion gives district staff direction to start discussions on what to do with the

properties.

The sites under discussion for disposal include Ashton Creek Elementary, North Broadview school, Mount Ida school, North Canoe annex, the bus garage site, the school board office,

“We are getting the properties appraised.”

— Sterling Olson South Canoe Centre and the new Jackson annex.

Olson said the process does not allow for disposal of any of these properties on its own and individual bylaws will need to be done for each property.

“As we work our way through the process any one of the properties could continue on or drop off.”

Enrolment uncertain Enrolment numbers continue to be very soft within the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District.

The district looks to be down close to the number projected, which was 225 students.

“Kindergarten enrolment is at 404.

The average over the past few years has been around the 400 mark so that plateau of stability is working through the system,” said superintendent Dave Witt.

Witt warned that unfortunately it is projected student enrolment will continue to decline for at least another three or four years.

Red-tape cut helps manage student loans ALISTAIR WATERS Black Press

The B.C. and federal governments have some

good news for students who have to take out loans to pay for their education.

Victoria and Ottawa have fully integrated their individual student loan programs, result-

ing in a single loan for students to manage and repay through a single, central service.

“Our government understands the importance of post-secondary education and the chal-

lenges that students face.” said KelownaLake Country MP Ron Cannan.

“That’s why we’re getting rid of the redtape and making it easier for B.C. students to manage their loans.”

By combining the provincial and federal loans into one and having it administered by the federal government, Cannan said the total amount will now be covered by Ottawa’s student loan Repayment Assistance Plan. In the past the plan only covered federal student loans.

In addition, multiyear loans will be introduced in B.C. to save students having to reapply every year, said Cannan.

Tim Krupa, a fourth year science student at UBCO, who represents students on the university’s board, welcomed the move saying it will make life easier for students who take out loans.

He said while only 20 per cent of students at UBCO have student loans, the issue of borrowing money can affect accessibility for some students because of the cost of tuition.

But while he welcomed the governments’ move, Kurpa said issues like tuition rates continue to be a higher priority for the most students while they are at school.

Cannan, who did not know how many students in B.C. the loan change will affect, said in addition to the joint provincial-federal move, the amount of money a student can borrow will also now be based on family income, circumstance and size.

“This way students will have to spend less time dealing with their loans and have more time for the studies.”

Smith backstops Viper shutout Morning Star Staff

Austin Smith recorded 20 saves for his first-ever B.C. Hockey League shutout as the Vernon Vipers blanked the host Salmon Arm SilverBacks 3-0 Friday night at the Shaw Centre.

Smith, who played with the WHL Swift Current Broncos last season, snared the starting position out of training camp.

“He made it look fairly easy,” said Vernon head coach Jason Williamson, who planned on starting Smith again in a rematch between the teams Saturday night at Wesbild Centre.

Williamson’s decision to form a power line with centre Adam Tambellini and wingers Aaron Hadley and Austin Smith Pearce Eviston proved a wise one. The trio combined for five points, with Tambellini playing the setup man with three assists.

“They created lots of chances and were on the puck all night, That’s a line that can do some real damage out there,” said Williamson, who praised the work ethic of all four lines.

“There were times when our fourth line was on the ice buzzing around and would catch the other team on a change and that’s when Adam’s line came out and scored.”

On Vernon’s first goal, defenceman Ryan Renz made a great heads-up play, springing Eviston at the far blueline with a stretch pass from his own goal line. Eviston came across the slot, bobbled the puck, but made good on his second effort, scoring low stick side at 2:21.

Vernon outshot Salmon Arm 10-3 in the first period, and 30-20 overall. Colin Dzijacky, acquired from the AJHL Grande Prairie Storm in the offseason, recorded 27 saves and second star in the loss.

“Colin was outstanding,” said Salmon Arm head coach Scott Robinson, who has had less than a week to — Jason get acquainted with his new team since taking over the bench from Troy Mick, who is now focusing solely on general manager duties.

“He did a lot of very good things and did

Unfortunately for him, we’re not giving him any support.”

Later in the first frame, Michael Statchuk found himself in a scrap with SilverBack veteran Jeff Kennedy after he hammered a Salmon Arm player into the boards.

Kennedy picked up the instigator and an extra misconduct.

before finding Hadley for the back-door play.

Tambellini won a clean draw back to Geoff Crisfield, who rifled a top corner blast past Dzijacky for Vernon’s final goal.

The goal matches Crisfield’s offensive output from last season. His one goal last year came in Vernon’s final regular-season game against Salmon Arm. With all the offseason changes that went on in Salmon Arm, Robinson expects some growing pains before his team gets on track.

“Literally, I’m having to look at my game

card on the bench to know who’s who. I’ve got name bars I’m trying to read, but I don’t have first names in my head,” said Robinson, who coached last season with the now-defunct Dawson Creek Rage of the North American Hockey League.

“We know where we’re at, we know where we want to go, and we know how we’re going to get there.

There will be some pain, but we’re trying to establish a base and work up from there.”

SNAKE BITES: Vernon defenceman Marc Hetnik (lower body) missed Friday’s game and was doubtful for the rematch Saturday night.

It’s a real shame because the fans were really loving the team. Things were trending upwards. There are so many good things up there. They’re gonna miss them this winter. The fans were spectators the first year, but they became the town’s team last year.” Robinson replaced Troy Mick as the Salmon Arm SilverBacks’ head coach the other day...Vernon F Harlan Orr, who had a stellar year with the Major Midget Okanagan Rockets last year, has stuck with the Surrey Eagles. D Jordan Burns, who also shined with the Rockets last season, is with Powell River...F Devon Hascarl is back with the Warriors, while F Alex Jewell, who played a few playoff tilts last spring, is with the Vees...The Eagles have passed the captaincy from one brother to another. Brandon Morley, 18, will serve as captain, taking the ‘C’ from his older brother, Tyler, who captained the Eagles for two years and this season will play with the NCAA’s University of Alaska-Fairbanks Nanooks...Clipper grad Brad Knight, once an assistant coach with the Shipmen, is head coach of the new Junior B franchise in Nanaimo, the Buccaneers...The Whitecourt Wolverines are the newest team in the AJHL.

Pospisil pots Davis opener Tennis Canada

Vernon’s Vasek Pospisil helped Canada take a commanding 2-0 lead over South Africa in its best-of-five Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World Group play-off tie on Friday in Montreal.

Pospisil started the day by defeating Izak Van der Merwe 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 to give Canada the early advantage. World No. 15 Milos Raonic then secured the second point for his team with a 7-5, 6-4, 7-5 win over South Africa’s rookie Nikala Scholtz.

Pospisil was strong from the start and captured an early break of serve in each of the three sets to take control of the match. Van der Merwe, who Vasek Pospisil became South Africa’s No. 1 player after Rik de Voest suffered a wrist injury earlier in the week, was unable to capitalize on his chances, converting only one of six break point opportunities.

This is Pospisil’s first Davis Cup victory since his dominant performance against Israel in the world group playoffs last September.

“It feels incredible to get the first point for our team,” said Pospisil, currently 116th on the world ATP list. “There’s a lot of pressure and expectations that come with playing Davis Cup. I care

about representing Canada, so this means a lot.”

Raonic lived up to his heavily-favoured billing against NCAA player Scholtz, who was making his Davis Cup debut. Though Scholtz handled himself extremely well, his inexperience showed through in the late stages of the first and third sets when poor service games allowed Raonic to close out the match in straight sets.

“I didn’t play as well as I wanted to, but what’s important is that I got the win,” said Raonic.

“Vasek won as well and we are in a great position for the rest of the weekend. I’ll work on my game and be ready for Sunday.”

Canada needs just one victory in the final three matches to secure the win. Saturday’s lineup saw a doubles pairing of Daniel Nestor and Pospisil take on Raven Klaasen and Van der Merwe. Today will feature the reverse singles matches with Raonic up against Van der Merwe and Pospisil against Scholtz in a potential deciding rubber.

“We sent a clear message to our opponents today,” said Canadian captain Martin Laurendeau.

“It’s certainly a great position to be in up 2-0, it doesn’t happen very often and it’s up to us to make the most of it tomorrow.”

A win over South Africa will allow Canada to keep their place in the elite 16-team World Group for 2013 while a loss would relegate them back to the Americas Zone Group I.

Vernon squads battle to 50+ draw Morning Star Staff

Kal Tire and Silver Stars battled to a good, clean 1-1 draw in Okanagan Men’s 50+ Soccer League action Thursday night at Marshall Field #5.

Striker Rob Ross took a long feed from central midfielder Steve Coombs, stretched out and brilliantly flicked the ball top shelf past keeper Geoff Bradbury, for the Stars’ late equalizer.

The 13-7-2 Tiremen, who had ambushed the shortstaffed Stars 7-1 two months ago, took the early lead in the first half when Mark Devolder bounced a shot off keeper Yogi Kongsdorf and walked the rebound into the empty net. Jim Sparrow and Kevin Mitchell had worked the ball up to Devolder.

Bradbury made an awesome diving save off Ross in the first half, while Kongsdorf came out to challenge and outguess Jenne Huberts on a lengthy first-half breakaway after a nifty feed by Mitchell.

Kongsdorf also stripped Mitchell of the ball on a weak header attempt into the sun.

Sparrow, who ran miles despite just returning from a 99-hole golf tour in Arizona, earned the Darin’s Plumbing Man of the Match for Kal Tire.

Defender Bob Oldfield, who was humming Beatles tunes in between dishing off countless fabulous passes, earned the Liverpool Grocery Man of the Match for the Stars (9-8-5).

Central defender Gary Dill for the Tiremen and defender Al Bensmiller for the Stars, also enjoyed strong showings.

Nikkel steals OT win for Knights Morning Star Staff

The North Okanagan Knights’ skaters might not be in mid-season form, but their goalie sure is.

Dustin Nikkel bailed his team out with a huge 49-save performance as the Knights outlasted the host Sicamous Eagles 3-2 in overtime in their season opener Friday night at the Recreation Centre.

Mac Ferner, the son of former Vernon Viper head coach Mark Ferner, supplied the winner with less than 30 seconds to play. Bursting through the neutral zone, Ferner fanned on his original shot, but recovered to send a wrister through traffic, beating netminder Kris Joyce, high blocker side. “We were very fortunate to get out with two points,� said Knights’ head coach Kris Mallette. “I was happy we put ourselves in a position to get a point, but by no means did we deserve that win.�

Mallette was neither disappointed, nor surprised by his team’s lack of early-season conditioning, adding it will take a few weeks before the Knights’ rookies become familiar with his systems.

“It was a short week of practice with our team,� he said. “You try and lay some foundation and hope that the kids will slowly pick up on it. It’s a lot for these kids to comprehend so quickly. “In spurts, I saw what’s going to make us successful, and when we’re doing that, we’re a team in a good position.�

After allowing an early first-period goal, the Knights regrouped to equalize on a goal by returning forward Tanner Burns with five minutes to play in the frame. Matthew Saharchuk drew the assist.

North Okanagan carried the play in the second frame, but found themselves trailing again after a powerplay goal by the Eagles’ Connor Buick at 10:57.

Mat Lambert, a Vernon minor hockey product, forced overtime with a third-period tally, assisted

by Saharchuk. “He went down the wall and he’s got a very deceptive shot,� said Mallette. “It doesn’t look like he’s putting a lot into it, but he beat their goalie low blocker.�

For the bulk of the third period, and into overtime, Sicamous overwhelmed North Okanagan. “We were sucking some serious wind, but Dusty weathered the storm and made some humongous saves,� said Mallette. “(In OT), we’d try to go man-on-man and guys were tired, and Sicamous just pounded us.�

The Knights’ home opener goes today (2 p.m) against the Spokane Braves at Nor-Val Sports Centre.

Lakers one win from Cup Morning Star Staff

The host Peterborough Lakers were one away win from claiming their fifth Mann Cup in nine years after Friday night’s 9-5 decision over the Langley Thunder in Game 5 of the Senior A national lacrosse championships at the Memorial Centre.

The Thunder squandered a 4-0 first-period lead, giving up seven unanswered goals in the second frame.

As per usual, Langley netminder

Brodie MacDonald, a Vernon native, faced a barrage of shots. The 6-foot5 keeper recorded 39 stops, while Mike Thompson had 35 saves for Peterborough.

John Grant and the Evans boys, Shawn and Scott, each supplied a goal and three helpers for the Lakers.

Garrett Billings, Athan Ianucci and Shayne Jackson each had 1+2 for Langley.

Game 6 sent Saturday night. If necessary, Game 7 would go tonight.

Heat refocused UBC Okanagan Athletics

KELOWNA – The UBC Okanagan Heat men’s volleyball team reached the Canada West quarterfinals after finishing the regular season seventh at 8-12. This year’s squad hopes to take another step forward and challenge the top teams in the CIS. “After a week of practice, I’m really pleased with how we look,” said Greg Poitras, who enters his eighth season as head coach at UBC Okanagan.

“Everyone, all 16 student-athletes, are in tremendous physical shape and they are ready get better this year.”

Although UBC Okanagan lost three fifth-year players in Preston Tucker of Vernon, Mark Broome and Spencer Brown, they have no shortage of talent with Canada West All-Star Nate Speijer (Penticton/Pen Hi), back for his fifth campaign, and All-Rookie Teamer Jeremy Fostvelt (Surrey/Earl Marriot) also returning.

In addition to Speijer, the Heat will look to seniors Riley McFarland (White Rock/Semiahmoo), Brett Uniat (Cochrane/Bow Valley), Jeremy Kler (Vernon/Seaton Sonics), and also fourth-year Greg Niemantsverdriet (Vernon/VSS Panthers) for leadership.

“They have all stepped up as leaders and have really taken a lot of pride and ownership of the team,” said Poitras.

The 5-foot-8 Kler will share the libero spot with Fostvelt, while the

6-foot-3 Niemantsverdriet is one of seven outside hitters.

Poitras has also been impressed with his freshman recruits, most coming from high-level club teams and provincial teams.

“Their biggest adjustment now is learning our system and understanding what is being asked of them,” he said.

UBC Okanagan opens the exhibition season Wednesday when they face the two-time defending national champion Trinity Western Spartans at Kelowna Secondary.

The Heat will then entertain the Under 23 Argentinean national team Friday at UBCO Gym. Argentina is in Kelowna for some exhibition matches before competing in the U23 Pan American Cup in Langley.

UBCO will then head to the Lower Mainland over the Thanksgiving weekend to play Fudan University (China), UBC Thunderbirds of Vancouver and Trinity Western.

Added Poitras: “I’m very excited about our exhibition schedule this year. It is one of the toughest we have ever put together and is going to prepare us for the Canada West Conference.”

UBCO has also added a postChristmas trip to Los Angeles to their exhibition schedule. They will take on NCAA powerhouse USC Trojans as well as Cal State Northridge and Cal Baptist.

Decades of caring for others has been recognized.

Bill Mitchell received a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal from Senator Nancy Greene Raine during a ceremony at Vernon city hall Wednesday.

“I’m proud of my career working with children and others,” said Mitchell, 64.

Mitchell was a registered nurse for 32 years and it began by helping troubled youth in Edmonton and Calgary.

In 1979, he took up duties at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops.

“I worked with student nurses as a mentor,” said Mitchell, who specialized in emergency nursing.

He has also been involved in the army reserves for more than 30 years and has taken a keen interest in

“That’s where our future leaders are. If they are good productive citizens in their teens, they will be good productive citizens as adults,” he said.

A diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease has led to involvement with the Parkinson’s Society.

“We are working with newly diagnosed patients on what will happen and what help is available,” he said.

Mitchell moved to the Vernon area in March.

“I certainly plan to get involved with the cadets in Vernon and I have contacted the local Parkinson’s group,” he said.

Greene Raine says the contributions of individuals like Mitchell are critical to a community.

“He’s a great example of a giver,” she said.

ees, in addition to sales through the Liquor Distribution Branch; ■ On-site lounges and event areas; ■ Adjusting the Liquor Distribution Branch mark up to 129 per cent from 170, and exempting storefront sales from commission.

“Growth in craft distilling will create a new secondary market for B.C. farmers and fruit growers,” said agriculture critic Lana Popham.

“Distillers in the Interior use apples, cherries and other berries for their eaux de voie, liqueurs and absinthe. These crops might otherwise go to waste.”

Popham says the revenue implications for the Liquor Distribution Branch would be negligible in the short-term, and more than offset by gains in agriculture, tourism and higher sales over the longterm.

“Last year, local boutique distillers produced less than onefifth of one per cent of the volume of spirits consumed in B.C. fewer than 100,000 bottles of the 50,000,000 bottles of spirits,” she said.

“The B.C. Chamber of Commerce, points out that thanks to these same measures, B.C. wines today have a dominant presence In Liquor Distribution Branch stores.”

What do you think about Vernon hosting the Ironman Canada event?

News LINING IT UP

We want to hear from you.

Ironman Canada is a triathlon event that brings up to 2,500 athletes to the host community to compete in an endurance race. The Ironman event includes a 3.86 km swim, 180.25 km bike race and 42.2 km run. There are currently over 90,000 people who compete in Ironman events throughout the world, and the sport continues to grow.

study done in Penticton stated that the economic impact to that community was $12.5 million.

There are very few economic development or tourism initiatives that can provide such a significant economic benefit to our community.

Hosting Ironman Canada would also promote our community on a national and international stage.

Vernon has been invited to submit a bid to host Ironman Canada over the next five years, starting in 2013. The bid must be presented on September 24, 2012 to the World Triathlon Corporation who own and operate Ironman events. City staff are preparing an event budget and bid package document for Council consideration on September 21, 2012.

Prior to submitting a bid, City Council has said that it needs to know if the community is supportive of hosting this event. An event of this size requires the support of the business community, community groups, residents and volunteers. We need to hear from you so that Council knows whether the community is ‘backing the bid’.

Hosting Ironman Canada would create an economic impact of between $10 and $15 million for the Vernon area each year. A 2004

Please let Mayor and Council know how you feel, and if you would be prepared to help with the event.

If you are a business owner/operator/employee: Would your business be able to pledge funds or in kind support to help offset the costs of hosting this event?

News

Conservation officers provide advice on when to call JUDIE STEEVES Black Press

Calling to report abnormal or aggressive bear behaviour in your neighbourhood is not what results in dead bears — it’s the people who attract them who are responsible.

Terry Myroniuk, conservation officer, admits that having to put down bears who have become a threat to people and property is the worst part of his job.

“I hate to have to pull the trigger.”

However, he says he would feel far worse if there weren’t complaints about a bear in a neighbourhood who had become aggressive — so the CO service wasn’t aware of a possible problem—and then that bear’s behaviour escalated until it resulted in someone being attacked or injured.

The Report all Poachers and Polluters toll-free line is: 1-877952-7277.

So, while he doesn’t want people to report sightings of bears who are spotted in greenbelts or who are not behaving abnormally, he also warns people that if they don’t report an aggressive bear to the CO service call centre, COs don’t become aware that there could be a problem in a particular neighbourhood.

Abnormal behaviour includes day-active bears who are snooping close to houses; bears who are following people or showing an interest in them; bears guarding garbage, since it’s not a natural food source, and who can’t be scared away from it, or bears who act aggressively or huff at people.

When people don’t report such behaviour because they’re concerned the animal will be killed, they can be putting their whole community at risk, he said.

Shorter days and cooler nights in September and October cause bears to want to fatten up by feeding most of their waking hours, particularly

focussing on high-calorie foods, to prepare for their winter sleep.

That’s often when they wander into areas

of human settlement where ripe fruit, pet food, bird feeders and garbage provide a banquet of easy pickings

for them.

“They can spend a half hour getting a few berries in the wild or five minutes getting

a feed out of someone’s garbage,” said Myroniuk.

Residents who don’t store their garbage

indoors until as close as possible to when the garbage is collected can be charged if that is attracting bears.

A dangerous wildlife protection order can result in a $575 fine for the first offence, said Myroniuk.

FOR RECYCLING YOUR MILK CARTONS

Recycling your milk containers is easy. Simply give them a quick rinse and bring them with your bottles and cans on your next Return-It Depot trip. There’s no refund because you didn’t pay a deposit when you bought the milk. Last year Return-It collected over 630,000 kg of milk containers for recycling and kept them out of landfills. Help us recycle even more.

FRESH WILD OCEANWISE FISH & SHELL FISH DAILY

These dogs go everywhere CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff

Kaylie sits, quiet and alert, as Gail Ferraro talks about what having a service dog means to her. “She helps expand my world. My world without her,� she holds her fingers about an inch apart. “My world with her — I’m like anybody else. I can do what I want.� She spreads her arms out.

Ferraro, who has arthritis and fibromyalgia, as well as severe anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, has had a psychiatric service dog before. She found the first one herself through a trainer in Montana who came to work with her and the dog. That dog, Sadie, stayed with Ferraro for 10 years until she was in the hospital so often she couldn’t care for the dog. Sadie found a new home with the family which had been taking care of her. “I did my grieving for her and what she had brought to my life and one day I knew I was ready to do it again,� said Ferraro.

She found Kaylie through Helping Paws, a dog rescue society in Creston which cares for homeless dogs and chooses those with the proper temperament to be trained as service dogs. The other dogs are adopted as pets. “The trainer, Diana Miller, told me that Kaylie was very nurturing, intuitive and gentle and she is. We were matched because of my need for a tall, strong dog who would help me with balance and mobility. I also need a very sensitive dog. She has so much love and we have a trusting relationship,� said Ferraro, glancing down at Kaylie, who turns to lay her head on her knee.

Kaylie, three, is a Great Dane-Shar Pei cross, who still has some training to complete. “I’m going to miss her so much when she has to go back for a little while. She has already made such a difference to me. It’s hard to put into words to people unless they have experienced a disability and having a service dog, what they mean. I can do so many things I couldn’t do without her. Today I was able to take the city bus which I hadn’t done in a couple of years. It was Kaylie’s first time on a bus and she did so well,� said Ferraro. “She senses when I’m tense and anxious and comforts me. Doctors have told me that I would do well with a service dog and one said it was a brilliant idea. A lot of people are not aware of the laws about service dogs. They are not regarded as pets and must be allowed to go anywhere a person would go. A psychiatric service dog, or any service dog is part of a person’s medical care and medical team.�

Gail Pifer will walk with her vision dog guide, Tyrell.

Kaylie wears a gentle leader that lets her respond to the slightest touch and a service dog vest that is a sign to her and others that she is working. She does not wear the lead or vest at home and goes out with a dog walker to a dog park several times a week to be a dog, socialize with other dogs and get her exercise. “I’m pleased to be able to talk about what Kaylie means to me. I want people to learn that these are specially chosen and trained dogs who can be as much benefit as other parts of medical treatment. The other night, I was having a bad anxiety attack and couldn’t get my breath. I thought I might have to go to the hospital. I called to Kaylie, who was sleeping at the foot of my bed and she crawled up and laid on my shoulder and arm and slowly my anxiety came down,� said Ferraro. “There is another issue that is important and underestimated and that is touch deprivation. That is an issue for people, mainly seniors, who live alone. A dog gives you that comforting touch with another living creature. Their love for you is always there and it’s unconditional. The bond becomes very strong. It is my personal passion to see that people who could benefit from having a service dog know about what they can do and have access to them if they want them.�

Kaylie seems to nod in agreement.

Lisa Kongsdorf, executive director of Independent Living Vernon, which offers services and referrals for people with a variety of disabilities, said the Okanagan has a higher

Service dogs help people with vision or hearing impairment, autism, diabetes, and a range of physical and psychiatric disabilities.

While it costs about $37,000 to train a dog, most training facilities rely on donations and fundraising so that dogs can be made available at low cost, often a symbolic $1, to

those who need them.

Independent Living Vernon sponsors the Dogs for Independence Walk which raises money to help people to get dogs. The walk takes place Oct. 13, starting at 10 a.m with breakfast at The People Place and continuing with the walk along the 25th Avenue linear park for as far as the participants and dogs (must be on leash) want to go. The fee is $20 per person and there are prizes for pledges raised. For more information and team or individual registration, call 250545-9292 or see ilvernon.ca.

don’t know how many reading this are familiar with this product often referred to as the modern day Meccano Set. But I’m sure some, probably just the boys, will remember constructing towers, bridges, cranes and other miniature marvels using the tiny girders and nuts and bolts that made up a Meccano Set, hugely popular in the early part of the last century.

So what’s this got to do with computers? Well, it seems that creating things with Lego blocks is not the exclusive pastime of children since it has recently come Vernon PC Users’ Club to light that adults, many of them possessing postgraduate diplomas in various branches of science and engineering, also spend a lot of time with Lego blocks.

My eight-year-old grandson has yet to earn a degree in anything, but he is a whiz at building all manner of things with the hundreds of Lego blocks and plans that litter his bedroom. He’s not quite there yet, but there are now kits for building

miniature bots (robots for the uncool) out of Lego that move arms, legs and head(s) energized by small batteries and tiny electric motors.

I can’t wait until his curiousity draws him into this field, particularly now that Lego-minded researchers at MIT, Harvard, University of Toronto and other institutions have developed a programming language for writing software to control Lego bots. They call it “SCRATCH” created out of a need for a simple tool to control prototype bots quickly and easily before implementing design and engineering concepts in full size bots (not made out of Lego blocks). They claim that SCRATCH is so easy to learn that three and four-year-olds already proficient with Lego can be creating control programs for their little bots in no time. What a way to turn kids on to computer programming, definitely a sunrise skill for which there is a steadily increasing demand.

The Vernon PC Users’ Club meets the second Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Schubert Center in the cafeteria.

CARA BRADY/MORNING STAR

Quintten Meints learns to use the computer to search for jobs in the Independent Living Resource Centre Employ-Ability program.

Tapping into employment skills CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff

Whether you’re looking for information, entertainment, or employment, the world is a smaller place without being able to use a computer.

The Employ-Ability Program, at Independent Living Vernon in partnership with the Neil Squire Society, is a pre-employment program for people with disabilities which focuses on personal wellness and computer skills.

Participants learn to use computers for work search and career development and to enhance employability, as well as learning to use assistive technology and discover their skills and interests, while improving their health.

Most participants also take the Self Esteem for Independence program, funded by the Vancouver Foundation.

“People spend the morning in a virtual classroom learning how to effectively find employment. The afternoon program is health and wellness based which helps participants find what is available to them, like tax credits and other assistance. People learn how to be comfortable with who they are and what they have to offer,” said Lisa Kongsdorf, who facilitates the Self Esteem program.

“There is also a networking group which

“There are jobs out there and there are jobs for people with disabilities. We’ve had quite a few success stories.”

— Lisa Kongsdorf meets the second and fourth Wednesday of each month where past and present participants and others can share their successes and mentor those who are still searching.

“There are jobs out there and there are jobs for people with disabilities. It’s difficult but it takes learning how to use a computer to search for employment and learning your skills and interests and how they can be applied to employment.

We’ve had quite a few success stories.”

Kongsdorf said participants in the present sessions are telling her that they already notice

positive changes in themselves in the first two weeks.

“It’s been all good so far,” said Luc Maclean.

“I’ve learned gmail and I’m doing some career planning to see if I can go back to school to be a pharmacy technician.”

Kendall Gerling also sees the benefits.

“I feel I have learned a lot of computer skills that will help me with employment and I got a résumé done. It’s easier to find out about courses and what I want to do. It’s very important for me to be employed and I know there are lots of things I could do.

I’d say to anyone who has a dream of getting any kind of a job to not stop learning and this is a great place to continue learning.”

Quintten Meints, who would like to take a course to be a small engine repair mechanic, is enthusiastic.

“I’ve learned how to work with computers better and I’ve developed more patience with people. This course I would recommend to anyone who is willing to try. It’s a very excellent course. But you have to be willing.”

The 12-week EmployAbility program runs four times a year with the next one starting in November. The Self Esteem program, which runs for 14 weeks and is open to anyone with a disability and can be taken independently from the Employ-

Ability program, also starts a new session in November. Applications for the next sessions of both programs are being taken now. For more information and registration, call Kongsdorf at 250-545-9292.

Andrew Allen releases new single Satellite and shows some love to his hometown KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff

It’s been a satellite kind of year for Vernon’s Andrew Allen.

His music has not only reached the stratosphere on both the Canadian and U.S. airwaves, Allen has had some time to coast along, see a lot of the country, and also relax in his own little part of the world.

After a busy winter, where he toured the U.S. with Dia Frampton, runner up on the first season of music reality show The Voice, Allen spent a lot of time writing and recording and has just released his latest single, aptly titled Satellite.

He is also gearing up to play his biggest show to date in his hometown when he kicks off the inaugural Vernon Community Expo with a concert at the Wesbild Centre Oct. 19.

But more on that later.

Allen is coming off what he describes as “the best summer ever,” and it, thankfully,

included some much needed R&R. “Me and (wife) Julia decided to chill out and not worry about anything. We ended up paddleboarding and enjoying time with friends,” he said. “We spent July in Vernon and August house sitting for friends in Kelowna.”

Not one to rest too long without his guitar in hand, Allen also found himself travelling around the country to play a few gigs from Vancouver to Toronto, where he opened for Lights as well as Backstreet Boy Nick Carter at the Canadian National Exhibition.

“I had just done a show for frosh week in Missouri and flew to Toronto three days before the show... It was great to see some of the sights.”

Allen plans to spend more time in Canada touring on the release of Satellite.

“The song is different from what I’ve done before. I wrote it to sound quite folky, but the recorded version has this pop sound to it,” he said. “It’s not a sad song. It’s about a relationship where the guy is saying to the girl ‘you are going to be amazing and go to the moon and back, but I have to let you go.’

I feel you can hear the soul in the music. I was thinking of friends and relationships when I wrote the song.”

Allen once again worked with Vancouver producer Ryan Stewart to record Satellite.

Stewart, who has made hits for the likes of Carly Rae Jepsen and Victoria Duffield, worked on Allen’s previous single I Want You, as well as his chart topping songs Loving You Tonight and I Wanna Be (Your Christmas).

And speaking of Jepsen, known for her über hit Call Me Maybe, Allen has performed with her on a number of occasions, including here in Vernon back in 2010.

“When she came off Canadian Idol, Ryan thought she sounded good,” said Allen. “He is a big reason for the sound she has now.

He’s also done the same for (Warner Music artist) Laurell and my Christmas song. We work with him for his pop sensibility. He lays down cool beats with the singer-songwriter in mind... He’s also this nice guy. He’s a family man, so at 6 p.m. when he says it’s time to go home, it’s time to go home.”

Satellite has already been sent out to radio stations across the country, and can be downloaded off iTunes as of Monday.

Asked all the time by his fans on Twitter and Facebook, and by this reporter, when his full-length album will drop, Allen admits he is not entirely sure.

KYLE PERISON PHOTO

Vernon’s Andrew Allen is gearing up for a headlining concert at Wesbild Centre Oct. 19 as part of the Vernon Community Expo.

“Part of the reason I am releasing Satellite is to build the finances for the album. I also have a new management team, and (record label) Sony and me are still good friends.

They were the ones who sent me to L.A. to write the song.”

Allen is looking forward to perform Satellite and his other hits to hometown fans at Wesbild Centre. It’s his first time playing a big arena show locally and it should do well, as his last concert at the Performing Arts Centre in January sold out with more than 200 names on the waiting list for tickets.

“I am super excited to have another show lined up here in Vernon, and this time, at the Wesbild supporting an incredible cause. The last hometown show I had at the Performing Arts Centre was so much fun, and I was honestly blown away at how fast the tickets went, and how supportive the community was. Vernon really knows how to get behind one of their own, and I’m forever grateful,” said Allen. “(Wesbild) is a big room. I’ve brought in a producer for the show and a set designer. We also have some neat ideas to bring in local dancers and visual artists.

We’re taking it to a five dimensional level, not just singing.”

Sponsored by Durali Villa and Sun FM, the three-day Vernon Community Expo will feature more than 100 local businesses offering information, samples and prizes. Other entertainment is scheduled along with a boot camp on the Sunday by fitness guru Tommy Europe.

All those who enter Wesbild Centre will also have the opportunity to make a donation to support the Sun FM Have a Heart Radiothon, which raises money to provide much needed medical equipment for women’s and children’s health services at Vernon Jubilee Hospital.

Tickets for the Oct. 19 concert with Allen are $25 for general admission and $28 for floor seating, now on sale at the Ticket Seller box office. Order online at www.ticketseller. ca or phone 250-549-7469.

Arts Women complete the circle ing herself to write more and more.

“It’s not a living anymore, but it’s a great other life. I can’t imagine not writing songs.”

Johnson, also from Vernon, is known for her expressive voice and accomplished guitar playing.

Her performances are emphasized through acoustic jazz, blues and originals, and her ambient exploration and re-styling of beloved familiar tunes have attracted audiences.

There are two words Johnson uses to describe songwriting; “agonizing and amazing.”

Carolyn Anele A veteran participant of the George Ryga Centre’s songwriters’ intensive workshop, Johnson says she has been encouraged by workshop facilitators and B.C. music legends Bill Henderson and Roy Forbes to “get her stuff out there...

Don’t hold back! People want to hear your music.”

An accomplished stuJane Eamon dio singer, songwriter, and musical mentor, Vernon’s Northup is a passionate engaging performer with a career spanning more than 35 years.

Accompanying herself at the piano or fronting a band, Northup’s pop, country, folk and jazz influences are revealed in her expressive voice.

Betty Johnson Since 1997, she has owned and operated Vernon Recording and Teaching Studios, where she provides a learning environment dedicated to teaching singers of all ages and abilities the healthy way to develop their own unique vocal style.

Tickets to see the women Betty Anne Northup are $20 each, now on sale at the Bean Scene. The show and push- takes place Friday from 7 to 9 p.m.

Bean Scene opens its upstairs to female singersongwriters Morning Star Staff

After a steamy summer, Vernon’s Bean Scene Coffee House is re-opening its upstairs venue to monthly live performances starting with a sorority circle of some of the valley’s finest singer-songwriters.

The salon-like forum, taking place Friday, Sept.

21, features four female composers: Carolyn Anele, Jane Eamon, Betty Johnson, and Betty Anne Northup.

Vernon-based artist Anele is a contemporary folk singer who performs her own original songs.

“The intimacy and warmth of her delivery recall a Judy Collins/Joni Mitchell vibe, which immediately directs her stories straight to the senses... Her music glows with western light and pure energy,” said Morning Star music reviewer Dean Gordon-Smith of Anele’s last album.

Kelowna’s Eamon is also a prolific songwriter, and winner of several B.C. Interior Music Awards.

She was a finalist of the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Competition and is the producer of six CDs of original music.

Eamon gave up writing and singing for 25 years, but returned in 1998 with a determination to keep going.

“It’s what drives me.

It’s my passion,” she said, adding she has always been fascinated with the written word, teaching songwriting

These movies for kids are alright

C

hildren’s movies are varied in scope and quality. Over the years, certain powerhouse production companies, (Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks,) have made the bulk of the films that we would consider great, but this is not always the case.

When considering these films we have attempted to include only quality entertainment, nothing offensive, and nothing too babyish.

The age of the child makes a difference as well, such that kids who enjoy The Land Taylor & Howe Before Time might be too frightened to see Stand By Me. With this in mind, Reel Reviews presents a cross section of our favourite movies appropriate for kids six to 12, which, as parents may know, is the age that children become smarter than adults.

TAYLOR: I think I’ll start with my most recent picks and work backwards to the movies I loved when I was small. The Lorax was a fun, funny and reasonable bit of logic. I also enjoyed Pirates: Band of Misfits, although it really was just a bit of fluff. Fluff has its place.

HOWE: Finding Nemo was just rereleased Friday in 3D. That might be fun for the youngsters; I enjoyed Nemo, though I can’t see the point in adding the third dimension to it. You could probably buy the DVD for the same price as the glasses at the theatre, but I’ll still end up taking my little boy to see it.

TAYLOR: I liked Nemo, probably better than some of the more syrupy Disney

REEL REVIEWS

DISNEY PIXAR

Marlin and Dory swim along with surfer sea turtle Crush and his clan in 2003’s Finding Nemo.

The film has just been re-released in 3D, and is playing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon. fare. I like the kids’ movies that are silly, like Hoodwinked. I’ll never forget that singing goat. But I also don’t mind if there is a message to the films, like Up or WALL-E. HOWE: If we are working backwards, it would have to be Toy Story 3. I felt it was on par with the 1995 original. It made me laugh and towards the end I did choke up a little bit. Disney/Pixar really did set the standard for animated movies that we see today such as Cars. There’s also DreamWorks’ Shrek and TinTin. TAYLOR: Really, TinTin? One of my all-time faves is Babe, the talking pig. I’ve also mentioned before that I’m a big fan of The Princess Bride, which is not just for girls (there’s lots of swashbuckling.) Although these next films are not only for kids, and in fact may frighten very young children, they deserve their place here: Home Alone, The Goonies, Raiders of the Lost Ark, the

original three Star Wars movies, and Back to the Future, (I think my inner 10-year-old loves Spielberg.)

HOWE: Going back... all the way to the ‘80s, who could forget E.T? Elliot riding his bike and taking off with the little alien on the front of his BMX in the shopping basket... then leaving, breaking your heart.

I loved the sci-fi/fantasy movies, Krull, The NeverEnding Story and Jim Henson’s (yes the Muppet master) Labyrinth with the great David Bowie as Jareth the Goblin King.

TAYLOR: Krull?

HOWE: (in a trance) Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Ice Age, Harry Potter, Annie, Chicken Run, The Absent Minded Professor, Pete’s Dragon, The Jungle Book, Charlotte’s Web, The Dark Crystal, The Secret of Nimh, The Wizard of Oz...

Cesar Millan’s valleywide search goes to the dogs Cesar Millan is looking for a few dogs from the Okanagan when he comes to Penticton in November.

On Nov. 8, the dog behavourist, TV host and author brings his Trust Your Instincts seminar to the South Okanagan Events Centre. During the seminar, Millan will work with select local dogs to demonstrate and educate the audience.

“My new seminar tour will give dog owners the

tools to recognize how to create an environment of balance and calmness for their dogs. This will prevent and resolve everyday problems,” said Millan.

Millan’s team is now recruiting socialized dogs, over the age of 18 months, that show hyperactive tendencies and behaviours such as lead pulling, food rushing, jumping, excessive barking and obsession with an object or toy.

To apply, fill out the

form at cesarmillanlive. com/dog-application.

Millan’s team will review the applications and shortlist suitable canine candidates. A meeting will then be set up with Millan’s team before the seminar in Penticton. During this stage, dogs will demonstrate everyday behaviour problems that their owners face at home. With each dog, Millan’s team will ensure the dog’s welfare and appropriateness

JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR

CIBC’s James Beaumont (left) and Ken Gaskell (middle) present $1,000 to Salvation Army community ministries director David MacBain. The funds, which will support the Moms and Tots program at the food bank, was raised through CIBC’s Miracle Day, where local commissions are donated to help kids.

The B.C. government is freezing management salaries in government, Crown corporations and agencies, and imposing a hiring freeze on direct government jobs to deal with a rising deficit forecast.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong delivered his first quarterly financial update Thursday, showing a deficit forecast up $173 million.

That would bring the deficit to $1.14 billion by the end of the fiscal year next March, due mainly to lost revenues from falling natural gas prices.

The hiring freeze doesn’t apply to health authorities, Mike de Jong universities and other services beyond direct government staff, which is budgeted to shrink by 2,000 positions through attrition in the next three years.

The pay freeze doesn’t apply to unionized positions, but de Jong said B.C.’s bargaining mandate for unions is also being reviewed.

The current mandate calls for wage increases to be financed by savings in other parts of unionized operations.

It has so far not produced a settlement with the biggest union representing direct provincial employees, the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, which has staged a series of one-day strikes since rejecting a 3.5 per cent wage increase over two years.

De Jong said he intends to present a balanced budget in February for the 2013-14 fiscal year, when the government will face a May election. To do that, the government has to make up for an expected $389 million drop in natural gas revenue that year.

The government uses gas price forecasts from five private sector agencies, but none fully accounted for the surge of shale gas production that has depressed North American prices. B.C. producers have ramped up despite the softening price, to prove reserves needed for liquefied natural gas export facilities proposed for the north coast.

NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston said he predicted the gas price drop last spring, but former finance minister Kevin Falcon ignored him. And Ralston scoffed at de Jong’s claim that his ministry will find more savings in travel budgets and other discretionary spending.

“Travel budgets? That’s an old movie,” he said.

De Jong said a fall legislative session is “unlikely” as he and other ministers appointed in Premier Christy Clark’s Sept. 5 cabinet shuffle learn their new jobs and work on balancing the budget.

TOM NOLAN Our bodies are amazing. The level of acidity in our blood is held quite constant at a pH of 7.35-7.45 no matter what we do. (Anything above 7 is alkaline.) The pH of our urine can change with our diet but the pH of our blood remains pretty well the same.

We are entering the autumn season soon and it’s a good time to remind everyone about hand-washing.

It is the best way to prevent colds, flus and many other infectious diseases. Do it often throughout the day for at least 20 seconds per wash. This is especially important after blowing your nose, using the toilet, playing with pets or changing baby’s diaper. Perhaps even shaking hands?

The increase in social networking during the past few years has prompted research projects studying its addiction potential. The projects concluded that social media can be more addictive than tobacco. It takes up much of some people’s spare time and its seemingly low cost just makes it that much more desirable.

We are born with 100,000 hair follicles on our heads. Hair falls out and renews itself routinely throughout our lives. But, sometimes these hair follicles become stressed and hair starts to fall out and not grow back. Causes can be emotional or physical shock, hormonal (postpartum, stopping birth control pills), severe dieting and high fever among others. If you are concerned, check with your physician.

Bourbon Street cooks up Creole GRAEME CORBETT Business Editor

Rick Reichelt calls it Okanagan casual with a Creole twist.

That is the flavour inspiration behind the menu at the new Bourbon Street Bar & Grille at Vernon’s Prestige Hotel.

“Our menu is a wide variety, but we have some Creole dishes – poor boy sandwiches, jambalaya, bouillabaisse,” said Reichelt, general manager at Bourbon Street since it opened in June.

“That touch of Creole cooking, it’s going over really well these first two months. We’re getting great feedback.”

Reichelt’s roots in the North Okanagan restaurant industry run deep. He first moved to the region in 1986 to operate Squires Four Pub. He then owned the Blue Heron Pub from 1999 to 2010.

When he was unable to renegotiate a lease for the Heron, he ran the Vernon Yacht Club until his friend and business colleague, Bert Duss, invited him back Rick Reichelt into the restaurant game.

Duss oversees the food and beverage service – including Aquatico Bay Bar & Grille and the Sandbar Pub – at the Prestige in Salmon Arm, and when the restaurant space at the Vernon hotel became available (Ora, the former restaurant, did not renew its lease), he turned to Reichelt.

“It all happened pretty quick. We had a meeting (with the hotel owners) in May and it was less than two months before we took over,” said Reichelt.

Ora renovated the restaurant space just four years ago, so aside from changing the lighting to brighten the interior, along with a few other cosmetic changes, Reichelt says it was a relatively seamless takeover.

However, running a hotel restaurant can be a doubleedged sword, he said. On one hand, there are built-in customers onsite. On the other, there is a tendency for locals to associate a hotel as a place for out-of-towners.

“We want to build a local presence, not just depend on the hotel guests,” said Reichelt. “With hotel bars and restaurants, locals don’t think of them right away, so we’re working on that. The way you do that is by having a good menu and serving good food.”

GRAEME CORBETT/MORNING STAR

Chef Inna Turchin is serving up an array of Creole-inspired dishes at the Bourbon Street Bar & Grille at the Prestige Hotel.

A steady stream of Asian bus tours provides a good flow of trade during the tourist season, and Reichelt also caters to the Prestige’s conference and banqueting functions.

Everything from coffee and muffins for a morning meeting, to a full-on wedding feast, the Bourbon St. staff and kitchen is the source of it all.

Using his restaurant connections, Reichelt has assembled a seasoned restaurant staff of 20, headed by chef Inna Turchin, who worked with him at the Blue Heron.

Turchin, a Lithuanian native who worked for several

years in Europe, and then at a hotel in Israel before coming to Canada, has enjoyed crafting the Bourbon St. menu. She has fused some of her global culinary influences with the Creole theme to create an eclectic range of fare.

“People ask me what is my favourite, but since I created the menu and every dish is hand crafted, it’s hard to pick my very favourite,” smiled Turchin, who joined Bourbon St. after a year at Sparkling Hill Resort.

“My kitchen is really strong, my cooks are amazing and we have a really great time.”

Foster talks strategy Morning Star Staff

Derek Foster did something at age 34 that most Canadians don’t dream of until they are in their 60s.

He retired.

Foster isn’t a workaholic (he spent his 20s backpacking around Europe, Australia and New Zealand and lived a number of years in Asia), nor was he the heir to some vast family fortune. He did it through a simple investment strategy, and now he is an “idiot” millionaire because of it.

Foster, who has appeared on Toronto-based Business News Network, and on CBC’s George Strombolopoulos Tonight, never did anything spectacular besides investing in simple stocks, but this one activity proved to be life-altering.

His approach is to buy stocks that pay dividends (ones that send you money regularly). Foster did not treat the stock market like a “get-rich-quick lottery,” but instead stuck to boring stocks that offered products and services people use every day.

He uses Colgate toothpaste as a

good example.

“The reality is that people brush their teeth every day, and there have been two dominant brands for almost a century (Colgate and Crest),” said Foster.

While many investors get excited with glamour stocks such as Apple, RIM (Research In Motion) and Nortel, Foster sticks to stocks simple enough for any six-year-old to illustrate with a crayon.

Now, Foster, his wife and their five kids are embarking on a pancontinental adventure. They have sold their Ottawa home and purchased a 31-foot camping trailer which they will use to travel around and experience the various communities in North America.

Along the way, Foster is offering free talks on personal investment strategy, and he will be at the Vernon Library (2800 30th Avenue) Tuesday night at 7 p.m. for one of his Okanagan stops.

Foster is also the author of six national bestselling investment books. For more information, e-mail him at info@stopworking.ca.

Savouring Summer

W

hat a great summer it has been in the North Okanagan...once it got going.

Sure, June brought us some questionable weather and some alarmingly high river levels, but once July and August finally arrived, life was nothing short of glorious where the Okanagan meets the Shuswap. And since year after year I struggle to say goodbye to my favourite season of them all, it seems appropriate to spend some time reliving the top moments from this summer.

The new Cliff Avenue Pedestrian Market, feaDarren Robinson turing the vendors of the Open Air Farmers’ Market and participating Cliff Avenue businesses, set the pace for summer fun in Enderby by attracting countless travelers off Highway 97A into to town for farm-fresh fruits and vegetables, homemade baking, unique gifts and crafts, specialty items, handmade jewelry and so much more.

It has been incredible to see this market gain in popularity, and in turn, boost our local economy and stir a sense of community pride among residents. Best of all, even though summer is coming to an end, the market will continue on Cliff Avenue every Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. until mid-October (did someone say fall harvest?).

When the August heat became a bit too much, the Shuswap River was the place to be. Crystal clear water, good friends and endless August sunshine all combined to become the undeniable lure for tubers, canoeists, kayakers and swimmers, all happy to play the day away.

Pound for pound, my favourite Enderby summer moment was trekking up the Enderby Cliffs as part of our team-building event for staff and management of the Enderby & District Chamber of Commerce. There may not (yet) be an overwhelming amount of hiking and biking trails in the immediate area, but in many cases, including this one, quality trumps quantity.

As an avid hiker and professional photogra-

CHAMBER NEWS

pher, I have experienced some fantastic trails in B.C., and the Enderby Cliffs trail is easily one of the best and most rewarding. The three-hour uphill grind may test your endurance, but once at the top, that hard work pays off tenfold thanks to jaw-dropping panoramic views of the Okanagan Valley and Shuswap. This is a hike you’ll long remember.

Other highlights include the formation of an arts cooperative here in Enderby. There is some incredible artistic talent residing here, and in partnership with the Enderby & District Arts Council, we managed to pull almost two dozen of them together with the hopes of creating an artist driven cooperative gallery in Enderby in the near future.

A core group devoted to formalizing the cooperative has now been tasked with moving this exciting project forward and I, for one, can’t wait to see where this goes.

Additionally, as social media continues to challenge the marketing norm for destinations and small businesses alike, this summer saw the launch of our Explore Enderby Twitter Experiment. The concept was simple – create a social media campaign where local businesses and residents become the voice of Enderby by tweeting about life in our beautiful area.

Every two weeks, a new business owner or resident would take the wheel (or mouse) and showcase their home to the world. The experiment has gained in popularity and has since been featured on www.tweet4ok.com. You can follow the experiment at Twitter.com/ExploreEnderby.

Lastly, we want to see how you enjoyed summer in Enderby. Relive your own summer memories and help us relive them with you by participating in the Summer Fun photo contest. Details can be found at www.enderbychamber.com, or on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/enderbychamber). We’ve got some amazing prizes, including a spot on an upcoming fall photograhy workshop with yours truly, an HP Deskjet 3050 photo printer and more. But hurry, images must be submitted

by September.

A short ferry trip to France KAROLINE CULLEN Special To The Morning Star

S A I N T- P I E R R E - “After our week in Newfoundland,” I tell friends, “we’ll take the ferry to France.” They nod enthusiastically and then confusion clouds their faces. “A ferry to France from Canada?” they ask. Absolutement.

The French islands of Saint-Pierre et Miquelon are a short ferry ride away from southeast Newfoundland. How French are they? We are about to find out.

On a bright morning, we sail from Fortune, Nfld. on the MV Arethusa. Ninety

Signs in Saint-Pierre et Miquelon stores ensure the French language is alive and well. minutes later, with passports stamped and euros in our wallets, we are in France.

Jacques Cartier claimed the islands for

France on his second voyage in 1536. The first settlers arrived in the late 1600s and fishing has been the mainstay ever since.

In the main square are benches, a fountain and a merry-go-round.

Its cheery colours are only outdone by the vibrant paint combinations on some houses.

Immediately we feel an atmosphere reminiscent of Brittany in northwest France.

Our base camp is the Nuits Saint-Pierre, a boutique hotel. Down the hall from our elegantly appointed room is a kitchen for guests and a basket of croissants beckons.

Thus fortified, we set out to explore. As in so many European villages, wandering and absorbing the atmosphere is highly satisfying.

Guarding the harbour is an arc of cannons, relics from years of conflict between the British and the French. Les Salines, a row of colourful sheds used to store fishing equipment, run along the water.

The church has door handles in the shape of fish and its bell tolls regularly.

Most of the small yards are festooned with yellow blooming weeds which, being French, still manage to look good against brightly painted houses. The viewpoint overlooking the town offers a panorama of the marina, the harbour and densely packed houses hugging the coastline. Shop signs are all in French.

The next day, I am on a ferry, squinting through the fog at the

shoreline. I am going for a day trip to the neighbouring islands of Miquelon and Langlade with Marie and Jacques, a couple of ardent wildlife photographers. The ferry quay buzzes with activity as we disembark. Miquelon has a small town centre where we stop for picnic provisions before checking out a couple of viewpoints.

The landscape is treed up in the hills, but scrubby brush covers the lower hillsides. A long isthmus connects Miquelon to Langlade and the road seems in danger of being overtaken either by sand or sea.

Langlade is a sparsely populated summer retreat. We take a zodiac out on a lagoon to photograph lounging gray seals. Hiking over grass covered dunes, we spot wild flowers, bird watch, and pass groups of semi-wild horses.

With a view over the marsh, we contentedly munch our baguette sandwiches, sip some wine, and savor the solitude.

Besides baguettes and cheese and wine, the French do tea very well.

Both the food and the ambience of SaintPierre et Miquelon definitively settle the question of how French these islands are. The answer is very.

Horoscope

BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL Your intuition about commercial or career matters might be rather remarkable in the year ahead. When you get a hunch about something that could be important, do not simply dismiss it as wishful thinking.

PUZZLE NO. 203

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You should check things out before volunteering to do something that could be costly if it isn’t handled properly. If you’re not the right person for the job, leave it to others.

ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203

HOW TO PLAY: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once.

Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Just because your mate is a faster thinker than you are, doesn’t necessarily mean that his or her judgment is better or even correct.

Double- check on things before taking action.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Be extremely careful not to hurt a friend’s feelings by inadvertently making it obvious that you would rather be elsewhere. Such behavior would jeopardize the relationship.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Try not to do things in fits and starts, because such behavior is not likely to fulfill what you’d like to accomplish. You must have continuity of purpose to succeed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) If you possess some kind of confidential information that a friend of yours is anxious to attain, be extra careful not to carelessly fold under your pal’s clever questioning.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Applying proper procedures is extremely important if you are working on a complex assignment. If you’re not careful, you could easily put the cart before the horse.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You may have to change some long-anticipated social plans at the last minute. Don’t let your disappointment spoil things for the others involved.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) An objective you’ve established could turn out to be an ordeal instead of the instantaneous achievement you had expected. Don’t be discouraged if your efforts aren’t initially successful.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Although you’re usually a careful person who thinks things through before acting on anything, you could become intrigued by a harebrained idea and act without knowing what it’s all about.

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) Because a great number of burdens are likely to be dumped in your lap, it might be hard for you to feel friendly toward a co-worker who makes an early exit.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be careful about making a decision under pressure, because your judgment might not be too sharp right now. Don’t allow yourself to respond before thinking things through.

Will Patterson is fairly confident he will be able to land a job after he finishes his degree in civil engineering, but he’s not taking any chances.

He was one of several students networking with potential employers at Career Day at the University of B.C. Okanagan Thursday.

“You start to think long-term and realize these are the connections you need,” said Patterson.

“When you come prepared with questions, that’s when you can really find out about what you want

in a company.”

Twenty-five companies – some of which included B.C. Hydro, Husky Energy, Scotiabank and Target Canada–had booths set up in the Engineering, Management, Education Building.

Jamie Basran, career manager, said this is the first year the university will host two career days.

Previously, the annual February career fair was the only chance for students to meet with prospective employers.

This year, the university opted to take advantage of the fall recruitment period.

The

Bridge by Phillip Alder FROM A TO Z THAT STARTED AT B A few years ago, an English newspaper printed an article titled “The A to Z of American Football.”

Since the first entry was Blitz, maybe the headline should have been amended slightly.

In bridge, the play runs from A to M. It is particularly important to pay attention to A. In today’s deal, how should South try to make three no-trump after West leads a fourth-highest diamond four?

In the auction, South might have rebid three clubs or three no-trump.

It is a matter of personal preference.

South sort of starts with

five top tricks: two hearts, one diamond and two clubs.

The opening lead provides at least one more diamond trick, and if West has led from the king-10, declarer can take three diamond tricks. However, he must somehow establish and run the clubs. How can he do that?

South will have to overtake dummy’s king with his ace and continue with the jack to drive out the queen. You’ve no doubt seen that play before. But what is South’s re-entry card?

East might have the spade ace, but there is a guaranteed entry in diamonds ... unless declarer makes the mistake of running the first trick around to his hand.

With this layout South

must win with dummy’s diamond ace, overtake the club king with his ace, and play clubs from the top until the queen appears. Suppose then that East shifts to the heart queen. Declarer wins on the board and plays a diamond. He must end with two hearts, two diamonds and five clubs.

WICKSTROM, James Boyd

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Louis “Lou” Alexander Miller, on September 4, 2012, in Vernon, at the age of 85 years.

Lou was born July 11, 1927, in Arcola, Saskatchewan.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of James Boyd Wickstrom, age 56, on September 7th, 2012 in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital.

Lou is survived by his sons Brad (Arlene) of Vernon, Brent, of Armstrong, grandchildren Brendan (Janine), Brock (Allison), Kristie (Anthony), Kylie (Steve), great grandchildren Emily, Ryan, and Aiden, as well as brother Art, sister Melva and numerous nephews, nieces and cousins.

Lou is also survived by his wife Joan, and her family, Brian Simmons of Crofton, Larry Simmons of Vernon and daughter Trena Morency of Golden.

Lou was predeceased in 2002 by his wife of 53 years, Dorothy, daughterin-law Debbie, grandson Dustin, an infant son, and his brother Don. Lou moved to B.C. as a teenager. He served in the Royal Canadian Navy for 18 months at the end of the war. Lou met and married Dorothy in 1949 while working in Ocean Falls. They moved to Vancouver so that Lou could pursue flight training. He joined Air Canada ( T.C.A.) in 1952. During his long career as a pilot, he lived with his family in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and finally Vancouver. He retired from Air Canada with over 30 years of service.

In his retirement, Lou was an entrepreneur. He pursued many careers such as hotel owner, campground owner, forest fire service owner, automobile sunroof company owner etc.

Since his retirement, Lou spent his winters in his home in Phoenix Arizona.

He loved to golf, and to travel in his motor home.

Lou flew his own plane until his mid 70’s and rode his motorcycle across Canada and the US until the age of 77.

Lou was a part of the Shriners motorcycle brigade and he loved to perform in parades. Another hobby of Lou’s was restoring vintage cars.

Lou married Joan in 2005. They spent the past few years travelling in the motor home, golfing and visiting friends.

Lou suffered a stroke in Aug. 2011 and his last year was spent in the Vernon hospital and the Polson Extended care North. Our sincere thanks go out to all the wonderful caregivers who spent time caring for and talking to Dad. Lou will be remembered by all for his energy, generosity, love of life, gregarious personality, and his hearty laugh. There will be no funeral service at the family’s request. A private family gathering will be held later this month. To those whose lives he touched, raise a glass in his memory. No flowers by request. Donations may be made in his memory to Vancouver Children’s hospital. Cremation arrangements entrusted to Fischers of Salmon Arm.

James is survived by two daughters: Carina Wickstrom of Vancouver, and Sarah Wickstrom (Richard) of Fort St. John; grandson Dayton; brother Robert (Nancy) of Winnipeg, MB; sister Christine (Jamie Colliss) Doyle of Vernon; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Ingvar and Siri, and by his sister, Lynn Schmitz.

V ICTOR H ENRY H ELLER passed away September 8, 2012, at the age of 93, just a month before his 94th birthday. He is survived by his loving wife Alma, and a sister Geraldine Carmichael of West Vancouver.

Victor, or better known as Henry, was born in Vancouver on October 11, 1918 to Gerald and Bessie Heller. He lived for many years in Abbotsford, worked in his father’s newspaper plant, and later continued the trend in newspaper plants in both New Westminster and Edmonton.

Before the 2nd World War when he served in the Royal Canadian Air Force both in Canada and Overseas, Henry attended college in Bellingham, Washington State and because of his love of outdoor life, learned to be a logger and worked in the Harrison Lake area until the war changed his occupation. After the war, following a stint of logging and prospecting, Henry trucked several tons of newspaper equipment to Campbell River and operated there from 1946 to 1950, when he acquired the Hope Standard.

Then in 1953 he started a printing business in North Vancouver and remained there until retiring to Vernon. Henry was a life member of the Alpine Club of Canada and his passion for climbing and skiing took him several times to Austria and Switzerland. His real love were the mountain regions of British Columblia, Alberta and Northwest U.S.A. where he felt at peace.

To comply with his wishes a private cremation and no service will be held.

BARON, Otto With a heart-ache we write this obituary for Barrie (Otto) Baron.

Barrie enjoyed an exceptional 90 ½ years of living before passing peacefully at home on August 24th, 2012 with Joan, his loving wife of 69 years, holding his hand.

Barrie was born in Stony Plain and moved to Vernon as a young teenager. He joined the BC Dragoons, was stationed at the Vernon Army Camp and continued serving in the Reserves. On July 12th, 1943 he married Joan Shute from Larkin, and within a few years built their home in the VLA area of East Vernon. In 1946, Barrie was proud to have been employed by the City of Vernon, and became familiar with many areas and aspects of the city, retiring 31 years later, in 1977. He began as a laborer, was asked to drive the first front end loader purchased by the City, and ended his career as a foreman. Barrie retired early. He and Joan enjoyed years fishing from their cabin at Mable Lake and at various ‘hot spots’ throughout BC, and for several winters, travelling to Yuma, Arizona. His great pleasures were spent visiting with his family and his large circle of friends, gardening, camping and being the ‘go-to’ handy-guy. He enjoyed driving trucks, cars, boats, RVs, motorhomes, motorcycles and, in later years, his motorized scooters.

Barrie is loved and missed by his family: devoted wife Joan; daughters Cia Barker (Rand) and Shellay Braam (Henry); Jeff’s wife Treena Murray; grandchildren: Rob Murray (Nicole) and Marney Wurban (Darcy); great grandchildren: Paige, Erin, Hailey, Gabrielle, and Bruce; sisters: Nora Schmidt, Martha Miller, and Shirley Mulholland; and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Marie and Philip; brothers Elmer (and Ruth) and Alfred (and Jean); brothers-in-law Dan Schmidt and Bud Mulholland; son-in-law Jack Harms; and grandson Jeff Murray.

The family thanks the staff at Carrington Residence for their constant considerations and kindnesses, Dawn Gillies of Needle Masters, and Dr. Picken, for the exceptional and very special care she provided.

Barrie will be remembered as a friendly, honest, hard-working and happy family man who enjoyed wonderful people and adventures throughout his life; may he rest in peace.
