Vernon in the running for Ironman ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Three-time Ironman winner Melissa Spooner led the high-fives in Vernon council chambers Friday. Spooner, along with about 30 other supporters, got the news she was hoping to hear; that the City of Vernon would submit a bid to host the Ironman Canada triathlon beginning in 2013. “It’s exciting, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Vernon,” said Spooner. “I think once Vernon realizes, and maybe it will take having to have it here for one year to see, the impact it can have, the people of Vernon will get it. “This is way more than a race. The race itself is awesome but it’s about building the community and having an amazing opportunity.” Vernon council held a special in-camera meeting for more than 90 minutes Friday before opening the doors to the public and holding a special meeting in regards to the bid. What was said in the meeting, and how council voted on the matter, remains behind closed doors. Council unanimously voted to release its report on the bid on Tuesday. “Council has directed administration to forward a bid submission to host Ironman Canada from 2013 to 2017, consistent with terms and conditions, including a budget to be considered a ‘maximum amount,’” said Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky. “All budget information, excepting that protected by contract with the World Triathlon Corporation, will be declassified and released to the public as of Oct. 11, 2012.” Bids for the 2013 Ironman, and subsequent years, must be submitted to the WTC, which owns and operates Ironman Canada, by Monday. The WTC announcement of the host city will be made Oct. 10. The city has spent the last few weeks putting together a bid proposal, which included having Spooner narrate a five-minute video piece showcasing Vernon and its natural beauty. Kim Flick, the city’s planning and

Melissa Spooner (facing), Simon Craig and Becky Alexander react after the announcement Friday that the Ironman bid has been approved. building services manager, told the gallery gathered for the announcement that the city received 722 e-mails in support of submitting a bid to host the triathlon, compared to 44 against. “We also have interest from 550 families indicating they’d be willing to volunteer and 33 businesses came forward expressing an interest in sponsorship opportunities,” said Flick. “We also received letters of support from each community in the Regional District as well as from the Okanagan Indian Band, Lake Country, Salmon Arm and (VernonMonashee) MLA Eric Foster.” The WTC announced in August it was looking for a new home for the triathlon after being held in Penticton the last 30 years. The City of Penticton has entered in a new triathlon relationship with
an organization called Challenge Family next year. Steve Meckfessel, with the World Triathlon Corporation, said Vernon kept popping up on the shortlist as well as did Kelowna, Vancouver, Victoria and Whistler. Kelowna and Kamloops have officially submitted bids to host the race. Spooner has competed in more
than 20 Ironman races, which sees competitors swim 3.86-km., cycle 180.25-km and finish with a 42.2km run, around the world, winning in Lake Placid, N.Y., the Canary Islands and New Zealand. She volunteered at the 1993 Ironman Canada in Penticton and competed in it the following year. She never won Ironman Canada but did place second.

Spooner thinks Vernon has a great chance of submitting the winning bid. “I think Vernon has every opportunity to create its own event in its own way that will make it an amazing event for what Ironman needs,” said Spooner. “It’s a great community, an opportunity to showcase the beauty that we have. I bring people up here to train and they love it. “We have the opportunity now. I wouldn’t be behind it (bid) if I didn’t think our town could do it.” Penticton Mayor Dan Ashton said the decision to work with Challenge Family was largely based on costs Penticton accrued hosting Ironman. Ashton said the city budgeted $105,000 last year, plus a $45,000 marketing fee, but that rose to $120,000 and a $60,000 marketing fee this year.

News Excellence candidates launch program CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
E
leven young women recently started an adventure toward the coronation of the 53rd Vernon Winter Carnival Royalty at the launching of the Queen Silver Star Excellence Program. Queen Silver Star LII, Christianne Edblad and Princess Silver Star Ashley Lazzarotto, beautiful in their red gowns, talked about their year so far. “We’d like to thank everyone for their support. Tonight is the first step on the journey for these candidates and I’m so excited for them. Thank you to everyone for coming,� said Lazzarotto. The royalty traveled to many communities around the province and attended a variety of local events over the summer. “Winter Carnival is an incredible experience and so was getting to know so many people that we wouldn’t have otherwise. Volunteering in the community let us get to know our community better. We wouldn’t be the people we are if we hadn’t had this experience. Thank you everyone,� said Edblad. Queen’s Committee chairman, Chere Lane, talked about the program. “It is first of all an excellence program where the participants learn skills that they will use in all areas of their lives. The candidates get involved in the community and learn more about it. The focus is on education and last year we were able to give out $6,600 in scholarships through the generosity of sponsors and fundraisers we do,� she said. “We also take part in the Little Miss Winter Carnival program with the Village Green Centre. This is a program for girls in Grades 1 to 3 who are partnered with a buddy candidate. All the girls are named Little Miss Winter Carnival and get to be part of the fashion show and proclamation and ride in the parade. Application forms will be available the end of September.� “We congratulate the candidates and look forward to seeing the community out at the pre-Carnival events and at Carnival events. Remember that this year’s theme is Prehistoric Carnival: Carnival before Time,� said Dave Fletcher, Vernon Winter Carnival chairman. The candidates start their classes this week and will continue three to four nights a week until proclamation and Winter Carnival Feb. 1 to 10, 2013.

heart this beautiful spirit who will be with you as a shining star throughout this year.� Fraser’s uncle, Darrel Wihnon, accepted her framed banner on behalf of the family, saying that she had been looking forward to being a candidate. “Mercedes was always looking for something new to try. I congratulate the candidates. Mercedes will be with you in all your endeavours.�

Knife pulled on couple Morning Star Staff
A teenager is in police custody following an armed robbery attempt at a Vernon home Friday. Police were called to a report of a masked man trying to rob a couple at knifepoint in the caller’s house in the 3300 block of 30th Avenue shortly after 12:30 a.m. The victims had barricaded themselves in their bedroom. “Our officers arrived on-scene, and the door to the apartment was open,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “When they entered they could hear movement coming from the living room area. Our officer observed a man

The suspect complied and was taken into custody without incident. “The police investigation determined the suspect was in possession of several items from the home in a backpack he had with him,” said
Molendyk. The suspect has been identified as a 16-yearold Vernon resident. He is expected to face charges of robbery, disguise with intent, and possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose. He was slated to appear in Vernon Provincial Court Friday. The victims were shaken but not harmed in the robbery.

Managers take to roof for food drive Morning Star Staff
A local food drive is going to extreme heights this week. Starting Monday, Jim Tennant, Save on Foods store manager; David MacBain of Salvation Army; Kelly Kedrosky, Village Green Centre marketing director and Scott Adam, VGC manager, will be camping out up on the rooftop of Save on Foods to raise food and funds for the Fare Fight for Food challenge. “We encourage everyone to drop by the Village Green Centre and
“It could be all week.� — Kelly Kedrosky donate as much food as possible. If we raise the most amount of food, Village Green Centre will be getting a $10,000 grant for our local partnering food bank,� said Kedrosky. “Our goal is to raise over 12,800 lbs. of food over the course of a week.� The four will be taking shifts atop Save On
Foods, starting at 11:30 a.m. Monday, with Tennant sticking to his rooftop post as long as it takes to reach the goal of collecting 12,800 lbs. of food. “It could be all week,� said Kedrosky. Village Green Centre (managed by Bentall Kennedy Canada LP), has partnered with the Salvation Army and Save
on Foods to compete against other Bentall Kennedy shopping centres to win the grant. “The Salvation Army encourages the public to support Village Green Centre’s goal of winning the $10,000 first prize for raising the most amount of food across the country through the Bentall Kennedy challenge. Thank you to the Vernon and area public and businesses for continuing to remember those in need through supporting The Salvation Army,� said MacBain.

An Armstrong company will build Spallumcheen’s new playground. Spallumcheen council voted unanimously to accept the bid proposal from Su Casa Sustainable Landscaping, and enter a contract to complete the McLeod Subdivision playground and landscape project. The contract is not to exceed $135,580. “Su Casa gave us several different options and choices, and the $135,580 total is a worst-case scenario. There still might be a chance to reduce the costs,� said Spallumcheen public works manager Ed Forslund. Council authorized staff in April to proceed with planning for replacing antiquated and dilapidated playground equipment in the township’s heaviest populated subdivision. Spallumcheen was successful in getting $128,000 towards the project from a community recreation program grant. It also received a $30,000 grant from the Tire Stewardship of B.C. which Forslund asked council to put towards installing a recycled rubber safety area around the new playground equipment. “The rubber is expensive but down the road it saves money for maintenance,� said Forslund. “If there’s a mess, just take a hose and wash it off or blow it off with a blower. With wood chips or
gravel, it’s higher maintenance.� The township will match the tire stewardship grant from reserves. Work on the new playground is slated to begin in the fall.

Event doubles last year’s total JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Food piled the floor of a local church gymnasium as Vernon residents proved they are here for neighbours in need. The second annual B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive last Saturday proved to be highly successful – collecting 11,000 pounds of food locally at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. That’s more than double what the event raised last year (5,000 pounds). And the generosity isn’t just in Vernon. The Okanagan collected 67,039 pounds of food and provincially 352,588 pounds of food will stock food bank shelves. “Again we want to thank the citizens of Vernon for their generosity, and explain that only a small percentage of the city was canvassed this year because of availability of volunteers,” said Bob McKay, food drive director for Vernon. “Next year our goal is to have the whole city canvassed.” At a time of year when local food bank shelves start to get a little bare, the drive is welcomed by Vernon’s Salvation Army. Phil Franco, Salvation Army pastor, says the donation will
go a long way to feeding those in need. It is a service that many families and individuals are forced to rely on. And Franco says they are seeing more unique users (who have never accessed the Salvation Army previously), therefore the need is even greater. “We have 35 new households, most of which are working poor who are just having a hard time making ends meet.”
But if there is one place that is always there to answer calls of need – it is Vernon. “Of all the communities I’ve pastored in, never have I seen a community as willing to give as Vernon,” said Franco. This year’s event, hosted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, was assisted by Save On Foods, the Salvation Army Food Bank and the Vernon Muslim Association. It included 130 vol-
unteers, but McKay would like to see other local churches get involved next year to allow the event to cover more of the community. “We also invite groups within the community to take part in the 2013 food drive,” said McKay, who is already planning for next year and can be reached at 250307-3464.

Bad grandparents?
“
I feel exhausted,” Marie said as she pounded the “For Sale” sign into the ground in front of her house. That Marie and Chuck were moving took me totally by surprise. They love it here. “Where are you going?” I asked. “We don’t care,” she said. “As long as it’s far enough away that our kids won’t be tempted to bring our grandchildren to our house each weekend. We’re thinking 800 miles ought to do it.” “But you love little Chardonnay and her brother, Pinot!” “Deeply, madly, we love them. For a couple of hours. After that, I’m spent. Saturday, I spent Jim Mullen four hours making sure they didn’t spill things on the furniture or trip and hurt themselves. They have so much more energy than we have.” “So? Hand them back to the parents when you’ve had enough,” I suggested. “That’s the thing,” Marie said. “Joey and Shauna show up for the weekend, and all of a sudden it’s my job to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner; clean up after them; and make sure the kids don’t poke out an eye while they run around the house at a hundred miles an hour like their hair’s on fire. “For Joey and Shauna, it’s a vacation. For me, it’s like having a second job -- a much lower-paying job that I don’t like very much. And I sure don’t like my new bosses, Chardonnay and Pinot. I finally realized there’s a reason older women don’t have babies -- because we can’t keep up with them. When I read about that 60-year-old woman in Italy who was having an in vitro baby, I wondered who was going to take care of it for her. Then it hit me: She expects to pawn the little darling off on her grandmother. “So I get to take care of the kids, feed the kids and change the kids, but I’m not allowed
THE VILLAGE IDIOT
to say ‘no’ to the kids, or ‘Stop that!’ When I yelled at Pinot to stop yanking Fluffy’s tail, Shauna acted like I’d slapped him. It wasn’t the child who was complaining; it was the mother. Then, very slowly, as if I were an au pair who didn’t know our customs and didn’t speak English very well, Shauna explained to me how to raise children. I was supposed to say: ‘Pinot, the cat’s not a toy. Would you like to play with a toy?’ “Guess what? I really don’t need Shauna’s advice on how to raise children. I raised four of them.” “So talk to Joey about it,” I said. “Get him to tell Shauna to back off.” “Joey just throws up his hands like he has nothing to do with it,” Marie said. “Like he doesn’t know where babies come from, like they just showed up one day in his house. “’So here’s the deal,’ I told Shauna. ‘If you don’t care what your kids do in your house, that’s your business. When you bring them here, we have rules.’ Shauna got all huffy with me, but really, you wouldn’t think of bringing an untrained puppy to someone’s house and then act all put out when hosts won’t let it do its business on the living room carpet. Don’t bring an untrained child to my house. It’s rude. “Yes, I could have said, ‘That’s not the way to play with the cat,’ but guess what? It’s my cat, not hers,” Marie said. “Let me ask you, do you have any lasting memories of someone saying ‘no’ to you when you were 2 1/2? I didn’t think so. What do you think Pinot’s little friends say to him when he pulls that kind of stunt? ‘Pinot, the cat is not a toy. Would you like me to get you a toy?’ No, they would just yell at him to stop it.” “So you’re really moving?” I asked. “Oh, we’d been thinking of moving for a while. Making Joey and Shauna feel bad -that’s just a bonus.” Jim Mullen’s newest book, “How to Lose Money in Your Spare Time -- At Home,” is available at amazon.com.

Even if you’ve never committed a crime, or a had a run-in with the law, you’ve likely encountered Canada’s justice system. Whether it’s disputing a speeding or parking ticket, or filing a civil claim against a neighbour for damage to a hedge, or seeking unpaid spousal support, the average everyday Joe and Jane still need the courts to work. But when you pass through the front doors to Richmond provincial court, the beautiful architecture and appearance mask a broken system. Frowns are everywhere, from judges to court clerks, to lawyers, witnesses, victims and the accused. This week, Richmond provincial court Judge Ron Fratkin, who shares a full-time position with another senior Richmond judge, expressed his frustration. Faced with an unmanageable court list, he had no choice but to add on to the frustration. Ask local lawyers, and they’ll tell you there are lots of local needs. More judges, more Crown counsels, more sheriffs, more money for Legal Aid. And they will all cost money. Lots of it. Who cares? you ask as you’re reading this. You should. A broken justice system means bad guys are staying on the road, police officers are spinning their investigative wheels, and lawyers are wasting their breath. It means children in ministry care are staying there longer than they should, it means family disputes are left to fester, it means people caught with their hands in the cookie jar are set free. While it will cost more money to fix the ailing system, the alternative is the resulting everyday waste in the form of the efforts of those well-paid people who keep our communities safe. You can’t put a price on community safety. Black Press

Survey won't change park
I
just read an article about BX Ranch Park in The Morning Star. Interesting that the word 'ranch' was used. I wonder how many people who take their dogs there even know the history of this piece of property or the area. Or has it gone to the dogs. (Pun intended). I'm not against dogs or their owners. In fact I have been a dog owner in the past but circumstances change and I no longer am. The article stated that a survey was being done in regards to park use. The words used were "we want to get it back to a people park." Not going to happen. We live not too far from the park and we don't go there much anymore. There's a sign at the entrance that says dogs are not allowed past the second bridge.
SMOKING BANS In regards to the letter Where there's smoke. We have taken a strong stand on the smoking issues and I fully understand that it is a hazard to the lives of people, but really now people can not smoke outside, this is taking it a bit far don't you think? If you took a sample of the air the least of our problems is some person standing outside having a smoke. The pollution in our air is bad at the best of times. Every day I drive to work and see people with vehicles blowing out big clouds of black smoke. Are you to stop all these people from driving to and from work, really I think not. So I feel that if you don't like the cigarette smoke don't stand that close to those who are smoking, and if you don't want your children near it, then maybe you should move over a bit. That is what most people do, it is just common sense. My father went to war and fought long and hard to give us a free country as did all the other soldiers in the world wars. I am beginning to believe that
There was a sign on the second bridge that said" no dogs past this point." It got removed and this was long before the flood damage of this spring. The last few times I've been there, dogs and their owners have been past that
we are not a free country anymore with everyone telling us what to do and not to do with our lives. So for the 20 per cent that smoke, I am sure they are not doing as much damage to our enviroment as the 95 per cent of us that drive vehicles. Also to add I am a non-smoker and have been for nine years and that was my choice, not someone telling me to quit. I also drive a convertible in the summer time and I would love the black-smoke puffer to stop blowing it in my air space, but it is my choice to drive a convertable, right? Cindy Coombs B.C. POLITICS I read with interest Steve Gunner's comments on the retirement of MLA George Abbott. You'll recall that Mr. Gunner was the NDP candidate in the Shuswap riding during the last provincial election. Mr. Gunner is quoted as saying there is an appetite for change because the "free-enterprise doctrine" is no longer working. Mr. Gunner should know that socialism is a doctrine, com-
point. Some of those dogs are very big and there are people who are not comfortable walking in that kind of setting. They will not go to the park. Some strong emotions have been raised by dog owners that there would be a con-
munism is a doctrine but freeenterprise is what happens when individuals take personal risk to create a better life for themselves, their families and potential employees. The entire economy of the Okanagan, the province and indeed the country depends on free-enterprise, from millions of business owners, large and small, to farmers, home business operators, the corner grocery to the large supermarket, the small hardware store to the big box outlets. Without free-enterprise, in fact, we would enjoy few of the privileges we have today. I am curious of what Mr. Gunner would suggest we replace it with? A good Soviet-style five-year plan? A government takeover of the economic system? More red tape and higher taxes to keep the "one big government" people occupied? Perhaps the free-enterprise system hasn't worked well for Mr. Gunner and his NDP friends but I think he will have a hard time running on that platform in the next election.
flict with their pets and people having picnics or other activities at the park. First of all, who would spread out a picnic blanket on the ground where dogs have urinated and defecated. Not I. Secondly this was a people park to begin with. Why should "residents seek out other recreational opportunities" just because they don't have dogs. I remember some of the community celebrations held there. They were nice but it's been awhile. I know most dog owners are responsible when it comes to caring for their pets but there are a few who are not. I've had the smelly shoes to prove it. I've seen upwards of 30 vehicles in that parking lot. That's a lot of dogs. I think, and sadly so, that the BX Ranch Park has gone to the dogs. No pun intended. G. Dyck
It's easy enough to get tired and fed up with a long sitting government because the warts are easy to spot but the danger is if we elect a group of people who are fundamentally opposed to our way of life and would send us back to the dark ages. John Trainor SMART METERS We have had a wireless smart meter installed on our home. The installers came while I was away. I gave no permission and they made no advance notice or appointment. It was a protocol-free event. Whoever trespassed also ripped off a large yellow notice saying I did not want a smart meter. I cannot fathom who is profiting from this exercise? It could be the manufacturers of the meter or it might be those who will use the information gleaned from such a contraption? Richly-paid public relations firms will coat the whole adventure in sugary rationalizations. But they cannot hide the simple reality that this is corporate bullying. If the health concerns of this
technological gamble prove to be valid, the engineers, technocrats and their political sidekicks should go to the slammer. I want the meter removed. Bob Kingsmill

of other provinces and deregulate bus service so it can be kept alive. Polak said she is aware that B.C. service is at risk, and ministry staff are working on options. “It’s obvious from what they’re saying that they need to make adjustments, or they’re going to have to pull out of the whole thing,” Polak said. The company has applied to the board to reduce service on B.C. routes, but not drop any routes entirely. Kendrick said the rules don’t allow adjustments to reflect lighter traffic on certain days of the week, or seasonal adjustments. Manitoba changed its regulations in July to allow flexible schedules. Alberta deregulated inter-city bus routes in 2011, allowing bus companies to enter or exit a route with 30 days’ notice. Some routes have been abandoned as a result, as urbanization and changing travel habits have led to declines in rural ridership. In New Brunswick, rigid rules prompted the only inter-city bus line to shut down entirely. Kendrick said the B.C. rules are not only inflexible, but the application process takes too long. The company is required to advertise any route change in affected communities, and may need to hold public meetings as well. Polak said the government may be able to change regulations rather than amend legislation, which would have to wait until the B.C. legislature resumes in January.

YOU AND THE LAW LIABILITY WAIVERS IN RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. Waivers of liability are common in sporting and recreational activities. You probably had to sign one to go kayaking, river rafting, mountain biking or snowmobiling. But what if you are injured as a result of the tour operator’s negligence? Can you still sue and recover compensation? That depends. A waiver is a legal contract between you and the organization providing the recreational activity. Most activities requiring waivers are risky – that is where some of their thrill comes from. So waivers reflect that you are willing to assume those risks. But some waivers go much further and try to shift all the risks over to you. Normally a provider would be liable if you were injured as a result of its or its employee’s negligence. But waivers often explicitly state that you waive your rights to claim compensation, even if injured as a result of such negligence. Two women, injured in a ziplining accident in Whistler, recently lost their lawsuit because they signed such a waiver. One woman, 26, was Richard sent down the line too soon and crashed into the other woman, 41, who was still suspended on the zipline. This was the result of the negligence of the operator’s employees, for whom the operator was responsible. The two women claimed the waiver document they signed was unconscionable and should not be upheld in court. Unlike other cases involving such waivers, like skiing accidents, they had no control over their activity and their safety was solely in the hands of the ziplining operator. But the B.C. Court of Appeal noted that both women knew they were signing a legal document affecting their legal rights. One

ran a kickboxing/fitness operation where she herself explained and required participants to sign liability waivers. The other younger woman had just finished law school. Steps had also been taken to bring to the women’s attention that they had to sign the waiver to go ziplining, and they were given enough time to read it. They could have chosen not to go and got a refund if they did not sign. On these facts, the court decided it was not unconscionable to insist on the waiver, and there were not enough public policy reasons to set aside the legal contract. The court went on to say that it is up to the government to change the law if thought appropriate. The provincial government has promised to look into this again to see if the law should better protect people taking part in risky or extreme sports. Waivers are not upheld in all cases, however. Because waivers are so onerous – you are giving up your rights – courts interpret them strictly. In an earlier B.C. case, a young woman who broke her back on her first skydiving P. Barton jump won her lawsuit against the parachuting school even though she signed a waiver. The waiver was invalid because it did not specifically say the school would be protected from liability even if it was negligent. The school was negligent because it did not give her sufficient dive instruction and did not stop her from jumping even though she was visibly anxious. Also, if the waiver is in very small print and buried in some other type of document, or not properly brought to your attention, it may well not stand up.
Tourney tees up record funds JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Despite fewer participants on the greens, a record amount of funds was raised at the recent Wine, Women and Woods event. The 10th annual golf tournament raised $101,000 at the Vernon Golf and Country Club Sept. 7 and 8. “This is the most we’ve ever raised,” said Deb MacPherson, committee member, adding that there were less than 100 golfers at the event. The funds will benefit breast cancer research and treatment for North Okanagan women, as the funds are used locally. Along with purchasing a high-resolution film scanner for Vernon Jubilee Hospital, the money will fund a UBC-Okanagan research scientist’s work in determining why young women are struck with breast cancer. “It’s all done locally here, so it’s not like it’s going to the coffers in Vancouver,” said MacPherson. This year’s funds bring the total amount raised to $600,000 over the past decade, which benefits the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation – BC/Yukon region and VJH.

While the funds raised are a major part of the tournament, it is also a great ladies-only event, said MacPherson. “It’s a lot of fun. Seeing the smiles on the ladies faces is amazing.” Locally, and nationally, efforts are underway to raise money for the next big breast cancer event the CIBC Run for the Cure. The run, which gets underway in Vernon Sept, 30 at Clarence Fulton will see hundreds supporting those who are struggling with breast cancer, and in memory of those who lost their fight. It’s a cause that has touched MacPherson’s family, not once, not twice, but three times – which is why she will also be taking part in the Run for the Cure. “One of my cousins was diagnosed for the second time so we’re all going to get together and try to support her.” And they will also be fundraising and running in memory of a battle that was lost to cancer. “Her mom passed away of cancer. Her mom fought cancer all her life and now she (MacPherson’s cousin) ends up with the same cancer she had.” For more information visit www.runforthecure. com.

A local skipper sailed his way to first place during the recent Osoyoos Sailing Regatta. Skipper Ross Freeman-Marsh, with his crew Lucas Poole, of the North Okanagan Sailing Association (NOSA) of Vernon, took the blue ribbon in the Club 420 fleet at the Lake Osoyoos Sailing Regatta Sept. 9 and 10. “It was a lot of fun to compete in the Osoyoos Regatta,” said junior skipper Ross FreemanMarsh. “And it was a real challenge in light winds and to compete with so many other great sailors.” A total of 41 sailboats competed in four fleets of sailboats. “The Osoyoos Regatta is last of five sailing regattas in the Okanagan in 2012,” added junior racing coach Glen Dick. “NOSA did really well with Ross and Lucas taking first place and his brother Spencer Freeman-Marsh with his crew Jerritt Laznier taking second place in the Club 420 Fleet.” The North Okanagan Sailing Association is located at Paddlewheel Park and offers Learn to Sail Lessons and Club membership through the summer months for youth and adults.

Curves members will be showing Vernon residents that through the strength they’ve gained at Curves, they have no limits. Curves of Vernon is organizing a group No Limits event today at 1 p.m. at Polson Park. The event is open to the public and non-members are invited to participate. “Join us as we walk for those less fortunate in Zimbabwe,� said Curves of Vernon owner Angela Yablonski. “We will be walking eight-km around Polson Park. This is the average distance our orphans walk daily to the feeding center we
built in 2007.� (More information on that project can be found at www.zimbabweproject.com). The No Limits event is a continuation of Curves’ Not For Sissies celebration that took place earlier in September, where Curves members showed the strength they’ve gained at the fitness centre by doing such things as jumping out of airplanes, lifting cars or even playing tug-ofwar with elephants. For more information about Not For Sissies or the No Limits event, contact Curves of Vernon at 250503-1129 or come in to the club, located at #1 2901 27th Street.

Medical program benefits local hospitals Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s healthcare system is benefitting from the ability for student doctors to train locally in the Okanagan. Premier Christy Clark officially opened the new home of the Southern Medical Program that will see doctors completing their medical training for the first time in the Okanagan – benefiting B.C. students and families. “Our government is focused on investing and expanding post-secondary programs to educate health-care professionals so that all families all across B.C. have access to quality health care,” said Clark. “Students tend to practice where they’re trained, and now student doctors can complete their entire medical undergraduate program right here in the Okanagan.” The Reichwald Health Sciences Centre at UBC’s Okanagan campus was constructed with a $32.7-million investment by the B.C. government. It accommodates 32 first-year medical students, bringing the number of first-year medical students in the province to 288, more than doubling the number of spaces since 2001. The SMP clinical training is delivered at Kelowna General Hospital, Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, Vernon Jubilee Hospital, Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital in Trail, and other hospitals and health centres in 22 Interior communities. The 4,266-square-metre facility includes hightech classrooms and lecture theatres networked with the other three medical program locations in Vancouver, Victoria and Prince George. It also includes small-group teaching rooms, teaching and research labs, administration and faculty offices and a human kinetics lab, part of the school of health and exercise sciences. “The journey to becoming a doctor is an incredible one and I wish students and facility members alike every success in what is bound to be an excit-

ing future,” said Health Minister Dr. Margaret MacDiarmid. “Increasing the number of B.C. educated doctors through the expansion and distribution of UBC’s medical school is one of the ways we are ensuring there are sufficient physicians across the province to provide quality patient care.” Robyn Buna, a second-year student in the SMP, said: “I am grateful to have the opportunity to complete my medical education in the Interior. It’s exciting to be a part of a new program and to learn alongside a medical community that is truly enthusiastic about teaching students.” As part of UBC faculty of medicine’s distributed medical doctor (MD) undergraduate program, SMP students will spend the balance of the four-
year MD program studying and training in communities throughout the B.C. Interior, having spent their first term in classes in Vancouver.

Thank You!
To all the participants, sponsors, donors and volunteers that helped us raise over $100,000 at the 10th Annual Wine, Women and Woods Tee Off for the Cure Golf Tournament. The cooperative work of the BC/Yukon Chapter of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation led to the agreement that funds raised would purchase a high resolution ¿lm scanner. This machine is an important addition to the radiology department and will be of great service to the women of the north Okanagan and their families. Also, funding has been provided for a research project at UBCO directed at breast cancer in young women. This is a truly amazing accomplishment and it could not have been done without you. Thank you again for your support as we all work towards the goal of a future without breast cancer.

Cashspiel draws leading ladies KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Former world champion Bingyu (Betty) Wang of China will be here on a high after claiming the Cloverdale Cashspiel last weekend. Defending champion Shannon Kleibrink of Calgary is returning after having Amy Nixon sub for her due to surgery. Current world champ Mirjam Ott of Switzerland, ex-world winner Kelly Scott of Kelowna and several Olympians have also entered. Play in the women’s draw of the $35,000 Prestige Hotel/Twin Anchors Houseboats Curling Classic opens Thursday night at the Vernon Curling Club. There will be 32 women’s rinks, up from 24, in a triple-knockout affair. First place is worth $7,500 and also on the line are World Curling Tour points, leading to the Founders Trophy. Cashspiels in Brockville, Ont. and Edmonton have already been held and there’s one in Norway this weekend. For the majority of rinks coming to Vernon, the Twin Anchors jumpstarts their cashspiel season. “We have an astounding interest in the ladies cashspiel, our biggest ever,” said curling club manager Dave Merklinger, a world-class icemaker. “They like the competition and the purse. Fans are in for a real MORNING STAR FILE/SUBMITTED PHOTOS treat.” Bingyu (Betty) Wang’s China rink (above), seen here sweeping at the 2008 Vernon fans will rememFord World Women’s Championships, will return to Vernon for the Prestige ber Wang as the darling of the Hotel/Twin Anchors Curling Classic, which begins Thursday at the Vernon 2008 Ford World Championships Curling Club.

He’s in the running as a top-10 pick in the 2013 NHL draft and could end up as the WHL’s highest drafted forward when next June roles around. He definitely sits near the top of this list of 25 in regards to my overall interest level.” The lockout will of course really help the big-market teams like Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver, where NHL and WHL franchises share fans. In the last full-season lockout in 2004-05, the Saskatoon Blades say they saw an increase of as much as 30 per cent in attendance. The Giants will salute Burnaby’s Joe Sakic on Feb. 1 when the Rockets visit Pacific Coliseum. Sakic, 43, won two Stanley Cups with the Colorado Avalanche. He will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto on Nov. 12. Sakic played two seasons (1986-88) with the Swift Current Broncos, winning the WHL scoring title in 1977-78 with 78 goals and 160 points. Theo Fleury of Moose Jaw also had 160 points, while Mark Recchi of Kamloops compiled 154 points and Portland’s Troy Mick racked up 63 goals and 147 points, three points ahead of linemate Dennis Holland. Look for 18-year-old D Seth Jones of the Winterhawks to be the league’s biggest impact newcomer in a decade. Jones, who forced a trade away from Everett, is a candidate to be selected first overall in next year’s NHL draft. He is the son of former NBA player Popeye Jones.

Kamloops storms Knights Morning Star Staff
Head coach Kris Mallette has seen glimpses of potential, but is still waiting for the consistency that will make the North Okanagan Knights a threat in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. The Knights dropped their second straight game Friday night, falling 4-3 in overtime to the Kamloops Storm at McArthur Island Sports Complex. Making a disappointing night worse, the team bus broke down on the way home, requiring a boost before it could complete the journey. The teams squared off again Saturday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre in Armstrong. “Our guys at this point are just cutting corners,� said Mallette. “Everybody sees it, it’s just whether or not they want to change it. “Until we figure that out, we’ll just keep squeaking them out or losing heartbreakers in overtime.� The 1-1-0-1 Knights jumped out to a first-period lead on a pair of goals less than two minutes apart. Vernon’s Mat Lambert showed good hands down low during a goal-mouth scramble to open the scoring at 12:32. Lambert had botched a breakaway attempt a few minutes earlier, so Mallette was happy to see him redeem himself.
Morgan Johnson of Kelowna buried a quick wrister from the high slot past Marcus Beesley for the 2-0 goal. Blake Culbert, who also collected the OT winner, got the 2-0 Storm going a minute into the second frame. Stefan Wood equalized with five minutes remaining before Harlan Orr, a late cut by the BCHL Surrey Eagles, restored North Okanagan’s lead with 13 seconds to go in the period. Orr’s shot from the high slot pinballed off a shinpad and a skate before beating Beesley fivehole. The Storm forced OT with a minute remaining in regulation on a goal by Taylor Ward. North Okanagan netminder Dustin Nikkel ended the night with 46 saves and third star. Mallette said he and Beesley were both solid in the first overtime period. It took just 16 seconds for Kamloops to put the game away in double-OT as the Knights bailed on their defensive assignments, leaving Culbert all alone in the slot. “The kid points against us all the time,� said Mallette. “That’s probably the one guy you don’t want to leave alone in the slot by himself.� The Knights end September with a three-game road schedule, starting Friday against the Castlegar Rebels.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Carefully screen all information you get from others, especially the juicy kind, so that you don’t inadvertently pass on inaccurate gossip. It could damage someone’s reputation. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You’re essentially a compassionate person, and it’s hard for you to believe that there are some people who aren’t. Be careful, because you might have to deal with someone of the opposite type. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Even though you might feel a bit superior to your peers, be careful to keep it to yourself. Friends and associates need pats on the back, not put-downs. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) We all have days where we lack self-assurance, and it may be just such a day for you. If you tell a good idea to a negative thinker, he or she may convince you to scrap it. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Unless you truly do have some effective suggestions to offer, it’s best not to say anything to a friend who is trying to sort out his or her problems. You could make matters worse. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Don’t be taken in by a spellbinding person with impressive external trappings. What he or she espouses may sound or look great but be totally worthless in actuality. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’re one of the best at telling others what to do and how to do it, but
when it comes down to you taking orders, you may not be so skilled. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If unflattering comments about you that allegedly were said by another come back to you, don’t take it as gospel. Someone may want to put you two at odds with one another. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Confer with your mate about establishing some ground rules for those in your charge. If you don’t, you may say one thing while your spouse says another. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be extremely careful what you commit to writing when it comes to matters that could affect your work or career. Illchosen words could come back to haunt you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You are not apt to make any large financial purchases or commitments right now, but, through indifference, you could make a number of small ones that add up into a gigantic sum.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Bridge by Phillip Alder IF THINGS GO BADLY, HOPE THEY’LL IMPROVE Winston Churchill said, “To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.” No one can change that often. Some contracts start out looking easy. But then there is a sudden bump in the road, perhaps a bad trump break. Do not give up hope -- unless your task is completely hopeless, of course! Change your plan; maybe things will improve. In other words, look for a way to get home anyway. This is the sort of deal that an expert finds easy, but a less-experienced player has difficulty envisioning the layout that he needs for success.
South is in four spades. West starts the defense with three top hearts. After ruffing, what should South do? How should he continue when he learns that East has a definite trump trick? Note North’s two-no-trump response over West’s takeout double. It shows at least fourcard spade support and gameinvitational values or better. Then, when South signs off in three spades, North’s raise is borderline because he has so many losers. But a prudent pass would have ruined the column. Since West’s double suggests spade shortage, at trick four South should lead a low spade to dummy’s ace, hoping West has a singleton 10 or queen. When that does not materialize, the only
chance is an endplay, which requires East to have at most two diamonds. After two top spades, declarer takes his three club and two diamond winners, then leads a spade. When East has to return a heart or a club, South ruffs in his hand and sluffs dummy’s last diamond.

My dog goes to see the Vet on an annual basis. Does my cat require the same?
Throughout his or her life, your cat will benefit from regular checkups. From the time they are a kitten, to when they reach their senior years; your veterinarian can notice subtle changes in their health and address certain issues before they become a major concern.

Roy and Mavis Popham celebrate 60 years together Sept. 25, 2012. “Happy 60th anniversary, Mom and Dad,” love your daughters, Mindee and Rhonda, their spouses Alex and Jim, and your five grandchildren, Elizabeth, Michael, Nick, Viggo and Vinny.
Annual vaccines can prevent certain diseases that can be passed on to your pet. Your veterinarian will discuss your pet’s lifestyle and assess potential risks of disease, and customize a vaccination regime suited to your specific pet.

Cats, being such efficient predators gain nourishment by their hunt, but also become infested with tapeworms. We do recommend deworming on a regular basis of every three months although we would never want to deworm a sick or debilitated animal. If your cat is vomiting or has diarrhea chances are parasites are not the concern and that there is something else going on. A consultation with your veterinarian would be the best source of preventative medicine. — Dr. Miles Latwat, DVM

DOWNTOWN REALTY
this week that I really am pre-diabetic and that I will need cataract surgery as soon as I reach the top of the waiting list, possibly two to three months. It was pretty overwhelming and my arthritis isn’t exactly getting better either. Aging is a condition of life and so too is the fact that our bodies become worn and torn, no matter what we do. Of course the better we treat our bodies the more we can rely on their functioning to a ripe old age but every one of us has genetic factors at play and predetermined weaknesses that we can’t always overcome. So the moral of this story is not to think about what we should have done but get on and fix it the best we can. We are very lucky to be here and now and have so many opportunities to make the best of our health issues. One of the greatest assets in regard
to diabetes and prediabetic conditions is the Vernon Diabetes Education Program at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. You need a referral from your doctor to attend but then you are given all you Pat Black need to know about diabetes and your specific condition and what you can do about it. The trainers are excellent with an easy going style that makes everyone feel comfortable. It made me think that this is no big deal and that I can take care of it without it making a major difference in my lifestyle. A complete turnaround from what I had first envisioned. Although this is a wonderful service located on the fourth floor of the hospital, it has a severe problem in terms of accessibility. Whoever planned the hospital parking is obviously not disabled. I had to park in the disabled parking spots in the general parking in the front of

the hospital, fight with the unreadable money machine to get a ticket, then walk the whole length to the side door to get to the elevator to take me to the fourth floor location, not easy for someone with extreme arthritic symptoms early in the morning. While there still are metered parking spaces that used to be for those with disabled stickers along the side of the building, the meters now are covered and only cars dropping people off can use the spaces. Most people using this entrance are coming for physical therapy, cancer treatment or have other disabilities, and it puzzles me that you would take away these parking spaces when we are encouraging people to be as independent as possible and making accessibility a goal, especially in our own local hospital. Another Interior Health improvement, I guess. At the Seniors Action Network meeting last week we heard good news about another accessibility issue. Amanda Watson,
traffic technician for Vernon, informed us that a bus stop will soon be available in front of the library after so many complaints from seniors and the disabled community. Once more it reinforces that we must speak up to get problems resolved and Cleo Corbett, long-term planner for the City of Vernon, also attending the meeting, assured us that the city wants to hear from citizens and urges residents to call City Hall if they have a problem. Yoga in a Chair is once again being offered on Fridays at People Place at noon until 1 p.m., with Melissa of Blue Eagle Yoga, an expert teacher and guru. She also offers Better Breathing exercises on Mondays from 1 to 2 p.m. Both sessions are wonderful opportunities for those on limited income as the fee is by donation only.

OC trades facilities to undergo major renovations Morning Star Staff
Okanagan College is getting a major facelift to ensure future welders, heavy-duty mechanics, electricians, plumbers and other skilled workers get the training they need. The B.C. government is providing $28 million under B.C.’s Skills and Training Plan to expand and renovate trades training facilities at the Kelowna campus of Okanagan College. “The Construction Sector Council is currently predicting a conservative shortfall of 20,000 skilled workers for British Columbia, after all B.C. sources of labour are tapped into, so enabling more seats for apprentices is absolutely essential if we want to keep B.C. building,” said Patrick Waunch, head of Rambow Mechanical, chair of the B.C. Construction Association, and chair of the program advisory committee for the plumbing and HVAC department at Okanagan College. The existing shops and classrooms will be fully renovated and retrofitted to modernize and better utilize the space. A two-storey addition will more than double the size of the complex, providing needed student space and innovative classrooms for trades and technology programs specifically focused on skills development, training and
upgrading. The project responds to a growing demand for trades-related training. At the Kelowna campus trades training has more than doubled over the last 10 years, requiring the addition of two off-site leased facilities. The renewal project will bring more than 750 students back to the main campus. Once completed, the new Trades Complex will be able to accommodate up to 2,408 students and apprentices, up from the current capacity of about 2,280. “Across British Columbia we are seeing the results of hard work - increases in both the level of investment as well as the number of jobs,” said Pat Bell, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training. “Now we are doubling down to ensure British Columbians have access to the trades training facilities that will give them the skills to compete, that will let our children find jobs in British Columbia.” “This $33-million project will provide much-needed revitalization and renewal for Okanagan College’s Kelowna campus, creating additional capacity for students and apprentices in a building that will be a showcase for sustainability,” said Jim Hamilton, president of Okanagan College. “Just as a decision 50 years ago to invest in trades training facilities here has had
an immeasurable impact in this region, the deci-
sion to invest in developing this showcase for
training will yield positive change and pride
that can be shared by students, industry, the
community, the college and government.”

Garden event showcases WaterWise effort Morning Star Staff
A trend of making water work outdoors in the South Okanagan is hoping to catch on in the northern end of the valley. A newly xeriscaped yard of Pat and Doug Maxwell, of Penticton, was the setting for a recent garden party organized by the Okanagan Basin Water Board and its outreach program Okanagan WaterWise, recognizing efforts by local residents of the Okanagan, businesses and municipalities to conserve water and energy. “The Maxwell’s are a great example of what people can do in their own yards to make a difference, not just lowering their own water and energy bills, but helping to keep a sustainable supply of these resources for everyone in the valley,” said OBWB chair Stu Wells.
The Maxwells took the Make Water Work pledge and were entered to win WaterWise yard improvements, which they won. The pledge contest was a unique partnership, created with several local businesses known for promoting WaterWise practices. “On average, each Okanagan resident uses 675 litres of water per day compared to 329 in Canada, yet we have less freshwater available than almost anywhere in Canada,” said Wells. “And, of all the water we use in the Okanagan, 24 per cent is used by residents outdoors – mostly on our lawns. That is the second highest use, right after agriculture. “We need to ask ourselves,” added Wells, “are we going to continue to pour drinking water on our
lawns – water that has gone through costly treatment to meet drinking quality standards, or are we going to make some changes in our homes and to our landscaping. The contest in the South Okanagan was part of a much larger valley-wide Make Water Work campaign aimed at offering simple solutions to Okanagan residents to help save water. “We’re not saying you can’t have lawns or you can’t water. We’re saying make water work – make it work more efficiently and more effectively. A lot of our water is just wasted. “It’s important that residents of this valley recognize we aren’t the only ones who need water. We also need water for food crops, for the salmon that are returning to spawn,
and for firefighting.” “FortisBC is committed to helping our customers conserve energy and lower energy costs. “As such, we’re
pleased to have partnered with local municipal governments, City Green and the Okanagan WaterWise’s Make Water Work campaign
to help reduce the strain on local water treatment facilities and extend the community’s natural water supply,” said Melissa Manley, FortisBC’s
PowerSense program manager. “We’re also pleased to announce that Tap by Tap is extending into the Central Okanagan next week.”

BRAIN PARENTS FOOD! TOO!
CATHI LITZENBERGER Morning Star Columnist
Almost all foods can be home-canned. The most popular foods for home-canning include fruits and tomatoes, as well as preserves like chutneys, jams, jellies, pickles and relishes. It is also possible to can fresh vegetables, meat, milk, poultry, fish and prepared foods such as soups and stews, but they need to be done in a pressure cooker because their acidity levels are too low to safely can in a hot water bath. Before you start canning, ask yourself these questions. What will my family eat? What was popular last winter? What is still sitting on shelves now? What was the family’s least favourite canned item last year? What was a pain in the neck to put up? Canning, freezing, pickling, jamming, and freezing foods for the winter season brings a true sense of accomplishment. Last winter at a hockey game a fan offered me a pickle recipe which turned out to be a real winner, and I’ve included it below along with my favourite salsa recipe. And since many local gardens are still full of green tomatoes, I offer a delicious, tangy relish perfect with sandwiches, potatoes, cheese and lots of other entrÊes. For people who can’t get enough heat from salsas, chilies etc., try the flaming hot pickled pepper recipe; just chop a few to add to your favourite dish and watch the flames steam from your mouth. Any of these jars will make a great gift. Hungarian Dill Pickles (a Marvin Hennig recipe) 11 cloves garlic Sliced onions 22 dill heads Small cucumbers, washed and trimmed, (enough to fill 11 pints) Pinch red pepper flakes 4 cups water 4 cups vinegar 4 cups sugar 8 tbsp. pickling salt Place a clove of garlic, several slices of onion, and a head of dill into bottom of each jar. Slice cucumbers into jars and top with more onion slices, another head of dill, and a pinch of red pepper. Fill only to 1/2inch from top. Turn oven to 350 F. Mix water, vinegar, sugar, and pickling salt in a stainless steel pot and bring to a boil. Pour over vegetables in jars. Seal. Place jars into oven, turn off the heat and leave in oven overnight. Check seals in the morning, wash jars and put away. Delicious! My Favourite Salsa 8 cups peeled Roma tomatoes, chopped 4 cups green and yellow bell peppers,

Simmer 1 hour or until thick enough to coat a spoon. Fill hot pint jars with sauce, seal and process in boiling water bath for 20 minutes. Delicious. Green Tomato Relish 24 large green tomatoes 3 red bell peppers, halved and seeded 3 green bell peppers, halved and seeded 12 large onions 3 tablespoons celery seed 3 tablespoons mustard seed 1 tablespoon pickling salt 5 cups white sugar 2 cups cider vinegar
In grinder or food processor, coarsely grind tomatoes, red bell peppers, green bell peppers and onions (you may need to do this in batches). Line a large colander with cheesecloth, place in sink or in large bowl, and pour in tomato mixture to drain for 1 hour. In a large, non-aluminum stockpot, combine tomato mixture, celery seed, mustard seed, salt, sugar, and vinegar. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Sterilize enough jars and lids to hold relish (12 one-pint jars, or 6 one-quart jars). Pack relish into sterilized jars, making sure there are no spaces or air pockets. Fill jars to 1/4 -inch from the top. Screw on lids. Place rack in bottom of large stockpot and fill halfway with boiling water. Carefully lower jars into pot using a holder. Leave a two-inch space between jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary, until tops of jars are covered by 2 inches of water. Bring water to full boil, cover and process 30 minutes. Remove jars from pot and place on clothcovered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, check seals. Relish can be stored for up to a year. Pickled Hot Peppers 1- 1/2 pounds banana peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 lb. jalapeno peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces 1/4 pound serrano peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces 6 cups vinegar 2 cups water 3 cloves garlic, crushed 1 onion, chopped Pickling spice, optional Using gloves, wash and cut peppers. Place banana peppers, jalapeno peppers and serrano peppers into large pot. Add vinegar, water, garlic and onion. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, simmer 5 minutes. Ladle peppers into sterile jars, and add 1 tsp. pickling spice (pint jar) if using. Fill jars to the top with the liquid, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Place two piece lids on the jars. Place jars in the rack of a large canning pan, and fill with enough hot water to cover the jars completely. Bring to a boil, and process for 10 to 15 minutes. Note: If you’d prefer less heat in this recipe, remove seeds and membranes from the peppers before slicing them. For extremely hot peppers to add to dishes, I canned a whole bag of various, multi-coloured, hot peppers from Swan Lake Nurseryland — they were very pretty and extremely hot. Summer Special

Youth share goals across borders Morning Star Staff
Anna Anderson came home from the Trilateral Youth Exchange Conference full of ideas about how she can help make her community a better place to live. “It was a very inspirational trip and everyone learned a lot about cultural stereotypes and that even though our lives may be different in some ways, we all have the same goals, to get an education and to help others,” she said. The Grade 11 Seaton student was chosen to take part in the exchange July 18 to Aug. 8, with two other local students, Tanner Lorenson, Grade 10, Vernon secondary, and Meranda Silva, Grade 12, Fulton. Thirty-three students from Canada, Los Calientes, Mexico
and Modesto, Calif. (Vernon’s sister city) took part in the Trilateral Youth Exchange Conference. “The first week, we spent at UCLA in Los Angeles where we attended workshops about poverty and the environment. The second week, we were in Modesto, where we helped clean a river and helped at a camp for underprivileged children. Modesto has some of the same issues as we do with water use and recycling,” said Anderson. The third week was spent in Washington, D.C. where the students helped at a kitchen for the homeless. “There were programs that teach people to cook so they could get jobs. It was life chang-
ing for them,” she said. The group also visited the Canadian Embassy, Library of Commerce and went to a baseball game. The Vernon students are working on a project to promote water conservation in the summer of 2013 which will include speaking to students in schools and a contest for gardeners. “We learned so much about what we can do if we set our minds to it and start small. We will work on our project with mentors from the group,” said Anderson. “We are going to all keep in touch. The Mexican students want to practise English and we can access the alumni website for information. This is the only beginning.”

O
ur provincial political parties are starting to make campaign likespeeches. Sooner than later we are going to be hearing more. “Let the games begin.” I hope they don’t get ugly. Wouldn’t it be refreshing to have campaigns run on what they will or can do, how they will improve, how we can learn from our collective mistakes, how leadership will lead, inspire, rejuvenate? Imagine if they acknowledged the good ideas of each party and how if those were initiated by the successful party how effective that would be. But where is the fun in that idea of collaboration? Taxes will be raised in the corporate sector, or not, businesses of all sizes will be taxed more or not, unions will have wage freezes or not, we will focus on the economy, health, education, paying off
our debt, caring for our marketing, financial environment, following management, staying through, or not. current in a changing So far in my lifetime world, keeping up with I have worked in the technology, and more, private sector, farms, and all wanted to make for small businesses our community a betand medium ter place. sized, for govIt is a great ernment and networking for the nonexperience. profit sector, Take a and been cycle around self-employed. town early in Each has the morning taught me and you can invaluable lessee how busiMichele Blais nesses and sons and there is a great deal of shared services are connected experiences and some as you watch the delivunique to each sector. ery trucks, or people I have respect for all of going or coming from them.

passion, being in the right spot at the right time, or by accident that one job leads to another to bingo: you have launched a career. Sometimes we choose work for security — decent wages, benefits and pension plans. Sometimes we choose for freedom to express and develop ideas, for flexible work schedules or just for a paycheck to feed the family. More and more families are separated through work as the moms and dads go to Alberta or Saskatchewan for work. Many decisions influence our work choices, some good some not so. We have to be at work for a great deal of our time. Is work driving your life or is your life driving your work? I don’t believe it is ever perfect, and it can be good more than it is bad. The way I see it none of us live or work in isolation so let’s remember that when
we consider our government. How can it be that we can work more together, that there is less resentment of some groups’ wages and benefits, profit margins, tax breaks, development dollars and more understanding on all sides. Understand that if people aren’t tooting their horns to give you a raise isn’t because they don’t value your work it’s just that they haven’t had a raise in six years themselves, and don’t have a dental plan. This is a country built on all sectors — farming, manufacturing, corporations, small business, and more. Do I sometimes get frustrated over my idea of corporate greed? You bet. Do I want to live somewhere else? No way. I live in Vernon so I can live a simpler life. There are many interesting days that lie ahead of us. We live in a beautiful place rich with resources, unsurpassed natural beauty
Making a difference in the fight against Alzheimer’s Mornng Star Staff
The Alzheimer Society of B.C. has launched a new fundraising website, Anything for Alzheimer’s, which helps donors and supporters to make a difference in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias by planning their own fundraising initiatives. Anything for Alzheimer’s provides fundraisers with ideas, tips and tools for planning successful fundraisers, and makes it
easy for supporters to “do their own thing” and help a great cause. “Our province is faced with a growing demand for support and services for people living with dementia, and the need for funding cannot be understated,” says Jean Blake, CEO of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. “Our supporters are already tapping into their own interests and talents to create unique fundraising events that benefit the society, for which
we are very grateful. This new website will help them to continue making a difference.” Each year, creative independent fundraisers make a big impact in their communities by creating their own fundraising event, or by turning an existing event or challenge into a fundraiser. These are people like Dan North, a 57-year-old resident of Victoria, who recently completed a solo cycling trip from his hometown to Whitehorse, Yukon.
He met and spoke with people about Alzheimer’s on the four-week trip, and raised more than $1,000 in donations to the society. “As a health-care worker seeing first-hand the devastating effects of dementia on individuals and their families, I had lots of incentive to be part of the solution,” says North. “Those personally impacted [by the disease] were and are the real inspiration.” Fundraisers who are interested in doing
their own thing for Alzheimer’s just need a little creativity, some planning and the desire to make a difference. To learn more or to read more about what others are doing, visit www. anythingforalzheimers. ca.

If you haven’t tried Salon Effects or Nail Dressing you should! Not only is it an easy manicure, they look great! It also protects your nails and makes them stronger while lasting up to 10 days! This is a great time to be using a body exfoliater. After being in the Sun, golfing, boating and enjoying the lake you will find your skin looking dry and flaky. Even if you have been using a body oil or moisturizer you will need to exfoliate. Ahava, Spa Binge or Burts Bees are great body exfoliaters. Followed by a good body moisturizer you will see and feel the difference. Also if you are using an AHA body moisturizer like Neostrata on a regular basis not only does it prevent flaking but prevents ingrown hairs and Keratinisation (blocked follicular openings) which causes little white bumps. Until next time enjoy the beautiful fall!

Terry Jordan and his daughter Camille, 11, enjoy some time in the enclosed deck at the Mackie Lake House in Coldstream, where Terry is this fall’s writer in residence. can touch or imagine, is involved in various levels of at least one story. Books included. The process of writing them will contain stories, the text and spirit of them also, of course. It’s just one of the reasons we read, but we, all of us, are storytellers to some extent,” he said. “Often, what we find most interesting in other people are their stories and their ability to tell them. Different cultures give and receive stories as gifts. Writers do, too. One of our responsibilities as writers is to tell our stories (by that I mean everyone’s stories) as well as we can. Part of what a writer in residence does is to help people do the same with their stories.” A playwright, novelist, script writer and musician, Terry attended and taught creative writing at Trent University in Peterborough, Ont. He was the first Margaret Laurence Fellow at Trent in 1996, and his award-winning plays, Reunion,

Movie Dust and Close Your Eyes have been produced across the country. His book of stories, It’s a Hard Cow, won a Saskatchewan Book Award and was nominated for a Commonwealth Book Prize, while his first novel, Beneath That Starry Place, was published internationally and was nominated for two Saskatchewan Book Awards and the Chapters/Books in Canada First Novel Award. “I’ve worked at various jobs. I built post-and-beam houses in the Kootenays and played music in between,” said Terry. “I went back to university, originally for law, but quit school to work on films. As a writer, I started late in life, but I’m glad I did as it comes back to story. It’s like becoming a parent later in life.” Terry has spent the past few years working on his latest novel, which follows the Acadian people after their expulsion from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to the

and local secondary schools. Besides exploring their surroundings, father and daughter have embarked on a few projects together. There is no television at the house, so they’ve started writing a children’s book called Bob the Biting Cucumber. Camille is also working on two novels –– one is a book of ghost stories –– and she also has a movie in the works. “I am making an iMovie. It’s a scary movie called Murder at the Mackie House. I plan to show it at school for a Friday show and tell.” Although the residency at the Mackie house is not a traditional writer’s residency, at only two weeks, Terry says he would still like to meet with people who have a story they want to tell. “One of the main things I consider when I write is the idea of story. Story exists as the world exists. Everything, every thing we

The sound of a child’s laugh resonates through the old mansion. It’s a sound that has been heard many times on the grounds of the property, where families have played games of croquet and picnics have been consumed overlooking the azure of Kalamalka Lake. But this laugh lingers -- it has brought life back to the stillness of the night inside the home that once belonged to the Mackie family and its prodigal son, the late Paddy Mackie. That’s because one of its latest residents, an aspiring writer, is only 11 years old. Camille Jordan is on a new adventure joining her father, Saskatoonbased scribe Terry Jordan, who is the Mackie Lake House’s latest writer in residence. They are the first family to stay at the historical home in Coldstream as part of the writer’s residency program, established in 2003 as a partnership initiative between the Mackie Lake House Foundation and Okanagan College through the auspices of Kalamalka Press. “We’re following in the tradition of families who used to stay at the house as guests of Paddy’s,” said Christine Kashuba, Mackie house manager. “Paddy really enjoyed young people and as he was a school teacher, he would have loved the idea of children staying here and learning about the area.” “It’s really nice here. It has a nice view and the people are friendly. We even have our own beach,” said Camille, who has already started Grade 7 classes at Kidston Elementary School while her dad is putting the finishing touches on his latest novel and making connections with the local community, including English and creative writing students enrolled at Okanagan College
southern U.S. and parts of Europe. “It’s to do with my adopted mother’s ancestry,” he said. “It’s a love story, with a mystery-murder thrown in. I’ve been building it up like fiddle lines on a violin.” This is not the first residency for Terry. He spent the past year as writer in residence at the Winnipeg Public Library. Previous to that he was at the Regina and Saskatoon public libraries. While in Winnipeg, Terry met up with Vernon author John Lent, former regional dean and writing professor at Okanagan College, who told him about the Mackie house residency. “John has been doing the final edits on my book. He’s very in depth and has been helping me with the emotion, when to dig in and when to hold back,” said Terry. For his part, Lent says Terry is a powerful and singular writer. “When I first read It’s A Hard Cow, I was mesmerized by the muscle in his lyrical voice and his dark sense of humour. And his novel, Beneath That Starry Place, is one of the strongest Canadian novels published in the last 15 years. It still haunts me. We’re so very lucky to have him here.” The two men have also been sharing their love of music and Terry hints that some impromptu performances may be in store. That will most likely happen as the Jordans have decided to stay in the area after the Mackie house residency is over. They are currently looking for a place to live. “We decided to stay because of the people, and this being a cultural community,” said Terry. “I also like the fact that people smile to you on the street here.” Anyone who has a place in mind can contact Terry, or meet him in person when the Mackie Lake House Foundation holds a public reception for him and Camille at the Mackie house on Sunday, Sept. 30 at 2 p.m. Further queries regarding Terry Jordan’s writing residency can be made by calling Kashuba at 250-5451019 or Jane Lister, regional dean of Okanagan College, at 250-545-7291.

Caetani film to screen in Lumby Submitted by The Monashee Arts Council
In 2005, a film about a former Charles Bloom Secondary School art teacher screened to a tumultuous reception at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. The film, then titled Sveva, Prisoner of Vernon, covered the agonizing life and work of extraordinary Vernon artist Sveva Caetani. MICHELLE LOUGHERY Over the years, it’s gone through Portrait of Sveva several revisions Caetani. and was re-titled Sveva Imprisoned after acceptance by the Miami International Women’s Film Festival in 2011. The feature-length film, already seen by 5,000 people, will be coming to the Charles Bloom Secondary School theatre in Lumby on Wednesday at 7 p.m. Brought from Italy to Canada at the age of three by her aristocratic father, Duke Leone Caetani, Sveva was home schooled. She had virtually no friends, and under the harsh control of her mother, Ophelia, her life was one of misery. When her father died, Sveva, then 18, was virtually trapped by her mother in their Vernon home for the next 25 years. It wasn’t until her mother died, when Sveva was 43, that she was finally set free. After going to Victoria to get her
teaching diploma, Sveva was offered her first job as an art teacher at CBSS. There she achieved great success with students, and even now, staff members speak of her with great fondness. She had by then established herself locally as a talented painter, and one morning while driving to the school she had a startling vision. She imagined, in great detail, an image for a painting which was to become the first of her signature 56-part series titled Recapitulation. The problem at that time, however, was that nobody in the established fine arts world would agree to look at her work. She died, essentially unknown, in 1994. The art department at Charles Bloom is fortunate enough to have a collection of impressive works by Sveva’s students. The documentary screening is being hosted by the Monashee Arts Council, and filmmaker Jim Elderton will be there to speak and answer questions about his film. His award-winning career started at BBC Television. He’s had numerous public screenings of Sveva Imprisoned, and in 2010 he won the Okanagan Arts Award for Media Arts. Advance tickets for the screening are available through the Monasheee Arts Council office located at 1961 Vernon St., Lumby. Call 778-473-3029 for info. Tickets will also be on sale at the door on the night of the event. Admission is $7 for adults, $3 for students, and $20/ family.

Culture Days is about to drop Morning Star Staff
Culture Days is about to spread across the country, and to celebrate, local yarn bombers are dropping their colourful knitted and stitched creations onto Vernon. The Vernon Public Art Gallery and Gallery Vertigo have been buzzing with creative energy as participants prepare for the yarn bombing, or urban knitting, event to hit downtown on Saturday, Sept. 29. The yarn bombing comes on the heels of popular knitting workshops with Eleanor Bassett and Kelli Rose held at the VPAG and Vertigo, respectively. Participants are now ready to install their own creations, including patches, pom-poms, sleeves and throws on public benches, sign posts, trees, railings and bike racks along 30th and 31st Avenues. Yarn bombing participants and the public are also invited to the VPAG on Saturday at 1 p.m. to listen to a special presentation on public art with Kelowna-based artist Crystal Przybille. “We are thrilled to have Crystal join us during this special event. She is a very accomplished artist and will bring new light to the benefits, opportunities and pos-

The Vernon-raised artist will speak about public art, her artistic practice and recent European art tour. Przybille has an impressive background in public commissions and is keen to share her knowledge and passion for public art forms. Those attending the talk will learn about commissioned artwork, site specificity, community involvement and collaboration, as well as different forms of public
Theatre offers tour The Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre is excited to be included amongst nearly 7,000 free activities that are set to take place in some 800 communities across Canada for the third annual Culture Days from Sept. 28 to 30. To celebrate, the centre is offering a backstage peek of its state-of-the-art theatre. Tours will take place Saturday, Sept. 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every hour on the hour. Admission is free and participants are asked to meet at the loading bay doors on the north side of the building located adjacent to the Vernon Curling Club parking lot.
art, ranging from permanent sculptures to interactive audience driven art forms. Przybille is a graduate of fine arts with a major in painting from the University of Victoria. She has continued her professional practice, both in Canada and Europe, receiving numerous grants and awards for her work, including from the Canada Council for the Arts and B.C. Arts Council. Przybille has participated in artist resi-
dency programs in B.C., Nunavut, and the Netherlands. She has been awarded numerous public commissions including a temporary public sculpture for Rotterdam’s World Port Days to be installed in Sept. 2013, as well as the Victoria 150 Public Art Commission, The Hands of Time, also to be completed in 2013. Her latest public project was the Father Pandosy Mission 150th Anniversary Commemorative Sculpture, erected in Kelowna earlier this year. Culture Days is an annual, nation-wide volunteer movement to raise awareness, accessibility, participation
and engagement in arts and cultural community activities. “Culture Days is a strong initiative that promotes arts at a community level that are accessible to everyone. The Vernon Public Art Gallery stands for the same values,” said Kennedy Grant.“We want visual arts to be available to everyone. The benefits are enormous, and we are happy to take part in this annual event for the fourth year in a row.” Culture Days events are free and open to the public. For anyone wishing to participate in the yarn bombing, meet at 11 a.m. at the VPAG, 322831st Ave. More information is available by calling 250-545-3173.

Drumbeat moves Okanagan College Aboriginal communities gather for Youth Exhibition powwow at college’s Kelowna campus
The
Lates
The rhythmic drums from drum groups Iron Mountain and Little Hawk combined with the swirl and ceremony of the sacred powwow captured hearts and minds Thursday at Okanagan College’s Kelowna campus. Emcee Richard Jackson Jr. invited everyone to take part in the event, that attracted hundreds of people for this fourth annual Youth Exhibition Powwow. “I’m seeing more people here every year,” Jackson said as he scanned the crowd. James Coble, Aboriginal Access and Services coordinator, said the annual event is held in part to provide cross-cultural learning, but also to deepen understanding and relationships with local Aboriginal people. “The students themselves really appreciate more public events like this because it helps them to feel more comfortable on campus,” Coble said. Members from bands throughout the Okanagan Nation and into the Thompson and Merritt areas arrived for the event, which filled up the courtyard with colour, sounds, young children, elders, as well

as visiting students from Kelowna Secondary School and throughout the Okanagan Valley. “This was my third time dancing here,” said a beaming 14-year-old Nayden Brigham, a member of the Williams Lake band who now lives in West Kelowna. The ceremony also honoured veterans with the presentation of the red Killed in Action flag, by flag bearer and Veteran Queen Bernice Albert, a member of the Thompson Nation. “In 1991 I had the honour to represent veterans, and travelled to California where they presented us with this flag,” she said. “We had a black flag to honour those who served, but we didn’t have anything to honour those who were killed in action. This red flag represents those who died, were buried, are in our hospitals and in our jails. They are our fallen veterans.” Attracting much attention, and requests for personal photographs, were Stan Jack, of the Westbank First Nation, and Carl McLeod from Merritt who took part in the Men’s Traditional Golden Age performance.

“I teach people hunting, fishing, and how to make baskets, like this berry basket,” she said. “I’ve done this kind of teaching all my life, and learned from my parents.” The powwow included a social dance
where everyone in the audience was invited to participate, underlining the meaning of the powwow – unity. “People may not understand that pow wows are not just for fun,” Coble said. “There is a deeper meaning.”

It’s important to take care of your feet. The human foot consists of 26 bones, 33 joints, many muscles, ligaments and tendons as well as thousands of nerve endings. The type of shoe you choose for your feet is very important. Buy the best shoes you can afford. It’s a myth that you have to “break in” new shoes. A new shoe should feel so good, you’ll want to walk out of the store with them on. This is the time of year we start hearing about flu and flu shots. Our immune systems are pretty tough but each winter it gets challenged by the latest flu virus. It’s easy to help our immune systems fight the flu by getting a flu shot each year. While not 100% effective, it certainly reduces the chance of getting the flu. The origin of the birth control pill began with Margaret Sanger. Born in 1879, she was an American nurse, sex educator and birth control activist. In the early 1950s, she asked researcher Dr. Gregory Pincus to develop a birth control pill. With his work and others, it led to the 1957 approval of Enovid, giving women more reliable control over their fertility for the first time in history. We’re not sure if blonds really have more fun but they do have more hair. Blondes average about 140,000 hair follicles, brunettes average 108,000 while redheads have about 80,000.

Predator Ridge swings seventh in B.C. PGA poll Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Predator Ridge Resort has earned a top-10 finish in the PGA of B.C.’s inaugural rankings for golf courses across the province. Predator’s Ridge Course, designed by Doug Carrick and opened in 2010, collected seventh place in the provincial poll. Association members were polled both online and via telephone to make their choices for the top-three facilities, the top course in their region and a hidden gem anywhere in the province. Over the six week polling period, more than one-third of the association’s 650-plus members responded. From these results, using weighted rankings, three groups of deserving facilities were identified: B.C.’s top-20 courses; B.C.’s top regional facilities (the top-ranked public-access courses from each of five regions across the province); and B.C.’s top-10
hidden gems. “With PGA members being both competitive players on, and instructors at, all of the top courses across B.C., it was a natural fit to poll our membership to find their selections,” said Donald Miyazaki, association executive director. “Overall almost 100 courses received multiple votes and that just goes to show the depth of the quality of the province’s courses. “Congratulations must go to the deserving facilities who made the three lists. We are sure that these selections will elicit a fair amount of dialogue.” The ranking is a partnership between the PGA of B.C. and Inside Golf Magazine. Said Inside Golf publisher Jeff Sutherland: “It became clear as we received responses that two clear favourites were emerging and that Shaughnessy and Capilano would battle right down to the final few votes for No. 1. “Eventually Shaughnessy would take top honours by
the smallest of margins. On the public-acess side, Big Sky (Pemberton) has always had a solid reputation and now they have the No. 1 ranking to go along with it.” A number of community-owned courses were counted among the pros’ favourites – Campbell River’s Storey Creek earned an impressive top-10 provincial ranking, Oliver’s Fairview Mountain came 13th and Bowen Island, Castlegar, Golden, Revelstoke, Salmon Arm, Squamish Valley and Sunshine Coast were all included on the hidden gems list. Vancouver’s Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club, built in 1960, West Vancouver’s Capilano G&CC, built by Stanley Thompson in 1937, and the Victoria GC, built in 1893, were voted the top-three. Regional courses cracking the top-20 include Kamloops’ Tobiano (No. 6) and Rivershore Golf Club (No. 12), Chase’s Talking Rock (No. 9), and Kelowna’s Tower Ranch (No. 14), Gallagher’s Canyon (No. 17) and Kelowna G&CC (No. 19).

As an owner of a corporation, you have several strategies available to you that can help you to not only reduce or defer corporate income tax, but also enhance your retirement income. Do you plan on selling your business to someone outside your family?

Valley First Credit Union is keeping banking simple and saying goodbye to banking fees with the introduction of its new Simply Free Account. It is the only account that offers unlimited free Interac e-transfers (electronic money transfers made via e-mail or cellphone) in Canada, and it also features other day-to-day banking services with no monthly fees or additional charges. Those services include: free e-statements; free debit card payments; free ATM withdrawals at Valley First and Exchange-branded ATMs; free starter cheques; and free online cheque viewing. A Simply Free Account requires no minimum balance, nor is there a transaction limit, which is a contrast to the trend seen in Canadian banking, as was highlighted in the J.D. Power and Associates 2012 Canadian Retail Banking Customer Satisfaction Study Results. The study revealed that just over one in four Canadians (27 per cent) experienced an increase in bank fee changes over the past year. It also revealed that many Canadians are increasingly dissatisfied with their financial institution, due, in part, to rising fees.

India’s splashy playground MARGARET DEEFHOLTS Special To The Morning Star
INDIA - “Goa is famous for three things: powder beaches, all night parties and susegadho, meaning taking life easy.” So says Salvador (“Sonny”) Carvalho. He pauses, and adds, “Also feni, sorpatel and vindaloo.” Sonny and his wife Deena are old friends, and I’m lolling on the verandah of the family’s sprawling hacienda, sipping pre-lunch drinks. Sonny’s right on all counts. Feni is a potent country liquor made from coconut palm sap, or from fermented cashew juice, and sorpatel and vindaloo are Goan specialty dishes served on festive occasions. The Carvalho family’s lifestyle is typical of Goa’s affluent middle class. Their Roman Catholic faith, and culture, derive from their Portuguese heritage and like many of their 40-plus generation they are gregarious and fun-loving. Over the next few days, I’m invited to lively shindigs where everyone grooves, the music ramps up several decibels and booze flows freely. As the evening progresses, guitarists strum pop songs and guests break into vigorous renditions of Goan folk songs accompanied by rhythmic clapping. Parties rarely shut down before 3 a.m. But if Goan joie de vivre hasn’t changed, much else has. On my first visit 25 years ago, Goa was a little tropical paradise: miles of sun drenched

Country roads wound past whitewashed homes with colonial Portuguese style balcãos (balconies) where folks would sit out in the cool of an evening and chat to neighbours passing by, or invite them in for a nip of feni. Such neighbourhoods are rapidly vanishing in North Goa, giving way to concrete apartments, multi-storied hotels and time-share enclaves. Panjim, the capital, is a-buzz with shops, commercial buildings, cafes and bars. South Goa, for the most part, still retains its bucolic tranquility. The open air market at
Mapusa, is a must, and when I arrive mid-morning, everything is at full throttle: bright colours, seething crowds, and the sun beating down from a brazen sky. The smell of overripe fruit lies on the dust laden air and the roar of traffic and the incessant beeping of horns are like hammer blows. Children offer me gaudy trinkets, bony cows chew the cud dreamily as they saunter through the crowd and sari-clad matrons haggle vociferously with fruit vendors. No visit to Goa would be complete without seeing Old Goa. This is where the Portuguese held sway from 1505 until India forcibly took
over in 1961. A dock at the water’s edge, where a succession of viceroys would have arrived to great fanfare, opens to a wide road leading under a triumphal archway – now mossy and worn by the passage of five centuries. Colonial mansions once occupied by court grandees have crumbled into ruin and stand ghost-like amid tangled creepers. What has endured, however, are Goa’s splendid Roman Catholic churches modelled after the style of European cathedrals. The most renowned is the Bom Jesu Basilica with its dazzling gilt altarpiece and majestic statues. Completed in 1605, its main claim to fame is the “uncorrupted” body of St. Francis Xavier, a deeply venerated Jesuit missionary who died five centuries ago. A lesser known gem is the 17th century Church of St. Cajetan, with its white Corinthian pillared façade and a dome fashioned after that of St. Peter’s in Rome. The three altars, the pulpit and paintings are exquisite and unlike the crowded aisles of the Bom Jesu Basilica, this is a haven of serenity. I bid Goa a reluctant farewell. It has been a memorable visit and I’ll be back someday to party again with newly found friends. And maybe even down a peg or two of feni. Margaret Deefholts is with Travel Writers’ Tales, an independent newspaper syndicate.

Leanne Coombes (nee Harris) June 9, 1970 - June 27, 2012
Leanne Harris Coombes spent her childhood and adolescence in Vernon and it is with heavy hearts that we announce her passing. On Wednesday, June 27th, 2012, Leanne peacefully passed away after a courageous 6 year battle with cancer. Born in New Westminster, BC, the third of three children, Leanne lived in Vernon from 1976 to 1986. Known for her beautiful smile that could brighten your day or light up any room, Leanne’s heart overflowed with love for her family and friends. Her radiant personality and passion for life created many lasting friendships. Although Leanne had to face a challenging battle with cancer, she never allowed that difficult situation to affect her positive attitude and friendly approach to life. It was during this time that Leanne had an even bigger impact on the lives of people around her as she inspired others to face life with courage, compassion and gratitude. Leanne is survived by her husband of 21 years, Brian Coombes. Their children, Miranda (11) and Carson (9), were her passion and she poured herself into their lives in a way that will impact them forever. Also left to mourn her passing are her parents Mel and Carolyn Harris, her sister and best friend, Corinne Gehmlich (Kurt), and brother Darren Harris (Janine), in-laws Bill and Cherrie Coombes, sister in-law Charlene Coombes, and many other family and friends.
