Grade 11 students Ryan Price, Miranda Lambert and Emma Levorson pull up fencing that was protecting the Coldstream Creek riparian restoration that was planted two years ago and is now mature. The trio from the Students Without Borders Academy participated in the Society for the Protection of Kalamalka Lake clean-up in Creekside Park. Also taking part was a Grade 7 class from Kidston Elementary and Allan Brooks Nature Centre volunteers.
Thanksgiving weather shines JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Despite the crisp mornings, many locals are thankful for the recent and continuing sun-filled days – making for an enjoyable start to fall. Autumn is in full swing and locally temperatures are near or reaching extremes both on the high and low end of the mercury. Normal temperatures for this time of year are around 15, while
“As long as you’re out at the right time of the day, it’s beautiful.” — Doug Lundquist lows tend to be around four degrees. But Environment Canada is forecasting highs around 21 for today, Thanksgiving Monday, and possibly even Tuesday, with lows between zero and two degrees. “As long as you’re out at the
right time of day, it’s beautiful,” said meteorologist Doug Lundquist. But be sure to layer up against the morning chill. “It’s sweater season in the mornings anyway,” said
Lundquist. “But the edge will come off that.” Lows are expected to climb up to four and five degrees by mid-week as dry and sunny conditions continue. “It’s looking like the dry weather is going to continue. There’s almost zero chance of rain,” said Lundquist, looking into the following weekend. “October is one of the driest months of the year.”

There is some uncertainty about administration within the Township of Spallumcheen. Lynda Shykora, the longtime chief administrative officer, has not been terminated from her position but she is currently not performing her duties. “I can confirm I have been suspended without cause,” she said Friday. “I can’t comment further until I consider my legal options.” According to provincial legisla- Lynda Shykora tion that governs municipalities, the mayor must suspend a municipal officer or employee if the mayor considers this necessary. A suspension must be reported to the council at its next meeting, and the council may reinstate the officer or employee, confirm the suspension, confirm and extend the suspension or dismiss the officer or employee. When contacted, Mayor Janice Brown would not discuss Shykora’s position with the township. “I have been told to say, ‘No comment at this time,’” said Brown. Other members of council are also not providing many details. “She is on personal leave for two weeks,” said Coun. Christine Fraser. “She is still an employee,” added Coun. Ed Hanoksi. Shykora became CAO in September 2005, after serving as deputy corporate officer for 11 months. She has more than 30 years experience in local government management, including Lumby, Lake Country and the Regional District of North Okanagan.

News Stanley takes to the skies again
Hunter’s body found
KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Cause of death under investigation
J
eanie Campbell can still remember those huge yellow eyes staring back at her. The Coldstream resident’s husband, Jeff, had been out in their apple orchard on Buchanan Road during daylight hours in early July when he encountered a great grey horned owl unable to fly. “After three days we knew he was in trouble,� said Campbell about the fledging. Thinking it had fallen out of its nest from one of the pine trees on their property, the Campbells quickly went to task to find a way to help the owl, whom they called Stanley. Jeanie found the Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society (OWL) on the Internet and got in touch with the Ladner-based organization. “They immediately went into action and sent Karen Yuen from Kelowna to help us capture him and arrange for him to be driven to them,� she said. Operating solely from public donations for the past 37 years, OWL takes in injured and orphaned birds from all over the province. “OWL has surrogate owls at the centre that teach the rescued birds to hunt and fend for themselves,� said Jeanie. “They also rehabilitate eagles, hawks and other birds of prey.� Upon graduating from the centre after three months, Stanley was given a chance to expand his wings and fly free for the first time. Flown by volunteer helicopter to Chilliwack, friends of the Campbells picked Stanley up at the airport and brought him home by car to Coldstream. He was released at dusk on Sept. 19. “By the time he came back to us, Stanley was almost full grown at two-feet tall with a five-foot wingspan. It was so cool to help him... when you can help an animal in trouble you feel good about it,� said Jeanie, adding she hopes to see Stanley again in his natural habitat. “We are totally appreciative to OWL and in awe of the work they do. Any public awareness I can pass their way will not only help them with needed donations, but others who may one day need their help to save a scared, defenceless predator like Stanley.� For more information on OWL, visit www. owlcanada.ca.

Stanley, seen here at the Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre (OWL) in Ladner, spent three months at the centre after being found at a property in Coldstream, unable to fly. Jeff and Jeanie Campbell (right) set Stanley, the great grey horned owl they helped rescue, free from their Coldstream orchard Sept. 19.
The cause of a Lake Country man’s death is still under investigation. Tracy De Montezuma, 52, who was last seen Sept. 29, was found at about 3:30 p.m. Thursday 600 metres from his truck in the Wilma Lake area. De Montezuma had left home to do some hunting, and when he didn’t return, authorities were called. The RCMP have turned the case over to the B.C. Coroners Service. The five-day search for De Montezuma involved nine search crews from across the Interior, including Vernon. Just on Thursday alone, there were 77 volunteers on the ground, a helicopter, two aircraft and search dogs. “It’s very difficult terrain,� said Pete Wise, with Vernon Search and Rescue. “You can’t see five feet in front of you because of (tree) debris and rock.�

Politicians divided over fate of meat rules RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
There are differences of opinion on the future of provincial meat regulations. While some local politicians are optimistic about changes after meeting with Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick, others are less confident and suggest onerous policies for farmers won’t change any time soon. “We’ve taken a step backwards,� said Christine Fraser, a Spallumcheen councillor.

There have been previous suggestions that such licenses could be issued to North Okanagan farmers but that never occurred. Director Janice Brown suggests the ministry may be reluctant to allow farm-based slaughtering because it could hurt slaughtering facilities already

The number of North Okanagan producers has gone from 1,200 to 300 since the regulations came into force in 2007. “We got across how desperate we all are,� said Fairbairn, who is a rancher.

to start it this fall, and it’s fall now.” Ken Aura, senior project manager with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, adds: “We’re certainly expecting them to start work before winter sets in.” The project, which was announced in October 2010, will create a safer route for motorists who currently navigate a sharp bend at a dangerous intersection at Kalamalka Road. There were 119 reported accidents on that stretch between 2000 and 2009. Re-alignment of the corner will take place, cutting through Coldstream Ranch lands. “It will be a safer highway for one thing,” said Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick, adding that the area has only become busier over the years. The project is expected to wrap up by the fall of 2013. While construction is taking place motorists may encounter delays of up to 10 minutes and detours as required. “We don’t anticipate any major detours but there will certainly be some traffic impacts,” said Aura.

All or nothing?

need a haircut. Now that’s hardly headline news. Or even fodder for a column, you would think, although if your eyes have ventured into this space in the past there may have been even more dubious topics discussed, so you never know. Now if you look at the picture next to this sentence, you might think I don’t spend a ton of money on haircuts, after all what’s the point? There ain’t much there. And this photo, some have pointed out on occasion, isn’t that recent, so likely there’s even less hair involved. And if there happened to be a picture taken from above my head next to this Glenn Mitchell sentence, you’d think the forehead that’s so big it’s more like a fivehead is the least of my worries. I remember watching a wedding video, oh some 19 years ago or so, and there was this part where the bride and groom kneel down and the videographer caught this display from above and behind. I actually wondered who the old guy was that was marrying my wife until I realized the bald-spotted fellow was me. Ohmygawd, why didn’t someone tell me it was that bad? Since then I don’t think I’ve had to witness any more such horror shows, so I’m fine. Denial is a truly wonderful thing. And so are baseball hats. A former reporter here at The Morning Star used to loudly proclaim – “Who are you kidding?” – every time I came back from a trip to the barber and my head wasn’t completely shaved off, which is the look he favoured. That’s not why he is a former reporter here by the way. I’m not that petty. It’s just he was a folically challenged fellow as well and was kind of daring me to go for it too, likely for my own good, but I favoured, and still do, just a conservative trim that at least keeps some hair up there. However, I’ve been tempted lately, as combing my hair seems ever more pointless (not that I’m

attempting a comb-over or anything like that), and a recent study has come to light that Tim may have been right all along, which I kind of secretly suspected anyway. Which brings me to the point of all this rambling. You knew it would happen eventually, right? However maybe you didn’t think you had to wait until the second column. Oh, well. A headline in Thursday’s Morning Star Daily proclaims, in bold, capital letters (well, all their headlines are in bold, capital letters if you must know) that BALD MEN APPEAR STRONGER, MORE MANLY, STUDY FINDS. WOW. That last line’s not a headline from the Daily by the way. That’s my reaction, written in caps for effect but I dropped the bold so you could tell it wasn’t a headline. The story goes on to say that in one study subjects looking at pictures of men declared the shaved-head men more dominant. The second study was even better news in that pictures of the same men, only with digitally-altered shaved heads, were also seen to be more masculine and much stronger, although older. Hey, you can’t have everything. Besides my grey hair makes me look older anyway. But think about it. Michael Jordan, Bruce Willis, Andre Agassi, even Telly Savalas – all baldies and all strong, masculine guys that command a ton of respect. I’m pretty sure these guys would do OK with hair too but it’s certainly not hurting them and the study goes on to say that apparently it’s the association with the military and sports that helps the look command respect. Besides if you’re balding anyways why not go for it? Instead of trying to hide something you’re insecure about, instead it’s taking a bald, er bold, step forward that shows guts (not to mention more of your head) and apparently inspires deference. So apparently it’s a no-brainer, right? And I do need a haircut.....after all, who am I kidding? Well, me, that’s who.
Obviously no one wants politicians interfering with independent agencies simply to benefit themselves or their party. But Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes is taking things a little too far. When asked if he would make a presentation to the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission over Falkland possibly being removed from the riding, his response was, “It’s a public process, not a political process.” No one was expecting Mayes or the Conservative government to issue marching orders to the commission, but there is a role for him to play in this “public process.” He was elected to represent the interests of his constituents and a number of his constituents are saying they would not be served by being shifted from OkanaganShuswap to a new riding that includes Kelowna, Summerland, Merritt, Logan Lake and Princeton. Falkland residents insist that all of their economic and social connections are with Vernon, Salmon Arm and the other communities of the Okanagan-Shuswap. In a new riding, their interests would likely be forgotten and they would have to travel great distances — likely to Kelowna — to meet their federal representative. Beyond the residents themselves, who better to present their case than Mayes? He has been MP for a number of years and should be familiar with the community of Falkland and the close relationship it has with the other communities of Okanagan-Shuswap. He must understand the challenges they would experience if the boundary was redrawn. Political interference in a legislated process is wrong, but that doesn’t prevent elected officials from doing their job and representing those they serve. It’s unfortunate Mayes hasn’t added his voice to Falkland’s fight.

Former councillor concerned
I
t was with some alarm that I became aware of a recent notice of motion to discuss local changes to the rules around the publication of voting by members of council on matters dealt with in-camera. Some years ago, I attended my first meeting of Vernon city council. At a certain point the motion was made to move 'in-camera.' The mayor and the councillors rose and left the chambers for parts unknown. Where were they going? What topics were so important that the public was being excluded from the debate? Why all the secrecy? I remember feeling a little uncomfortable with the whole concept of in-camera. As time went by, I had the opportunity to serve in the governing councils of my profession and became acquainted with the concept and indicated use of in-camera sessions. We recently became aware of how our elected officials voted on the decision not to renew the contract with the Okanagan Landing firefighters. This was an in-camera matter. Normally only decisions made are reported to the public, not the actual vote. Because some councillors felt the need and justification to reveal how they voted on an in-camera matter, we know how everyone NEEDLESS RULES As a property owner and taxpayer in Vernon, I ask the city councillors to save us from unnecessary bylaws that would regulate the already regulated — especially bylaws that are passed on the precautionary principle. That is laws that are created where evidence of harm is inconclusive. I appreciate the principle. I use it all the time when I try to make decisions. I read all I can. I listen to those in the know, and even read letters to the editor to be better informed. I then consider it a privilege to make my own decision. It is a freedom I hold dearly. Imagine how many bylaws could be written by a desire to be totally risk-free. Give us, as citizens of this great country, the credit to make up our own minds, especially about our own properties. Please don’t make us carry a
voted, something we normally would not know. It would seem those councillors desired to distance themselves, for perhaps political reasons, from what surely has turned into a controversial action by council. So what is the problem you may ask? As soon as any councillor votes no on any matter in open council, the most inquisitive members of the public, the media, will want to know why. For the most part, a councillor will attempt to justify their stand with some explanation. Likewise, a councillor who has revealed their in-camera vote will face inevi-
book around listing all of the city bylaws so we don’t do something that may cause an already busy bylaw officer to knock on our door. From my former experience in the business and in regards to pesticides on our personal properties, we should use the precautionary principle. However, please don’t drive pesticides underground by making it a bylaw to refrain from its Health Canada approved use. May I ask how much of your donated money to the Canadian Cancer Society actually goes to cancer research? I don’t know, but it might be a good precautionary principle to find out.

table questions by the media, however in this case the answers may violate the rules regarding the publication of the details of in-camera discussions. So why is this a problem? Some of the information available to council during in-camera meetings, if made public could adversely effect on going negotiations concerning land, litigation or labor: the areas of concern most often discussed behind closed doors by council. The decisions taken in-camera are made public, but the debate and voting results are not. This is to protect the reputations and interests of all

parties involved with in camera matters. If councillors fail to own and defer to decisions made in-camera, they put the reputation of the city at risk as well as those individuals who are most affected by those decisions. It will be interesting to watch the still potential debate on the issue on what to make public from in-camera sessions of Vernon council: a controversy sparked by a few members of council choosing to reveal how they voted on the confidential matter of the decision not to renew the contract with the Okanagan Landing firefighters. I assume the council discussion will be lively and certainly interesting, but will probably be held behind closed doors in order to avoid the unintentional release of details of the original debate. Unintended revelations would be otherwise very difficult to avoid, which could only add fuel to the fire so to speak. It gets really complicated! Perhaps, it would have been simpler if all of our elected officials just followed long-established protocols and kept confidential that which should have been kept confidential in the first place.

department (Jim Isnardy and Mike Sutch) took the initiative to gain support from all department members to provide $15,000 towards the school's technology program and our food program, providing breakfast and lunches for students who need a little extra to eat. We were surprised by this very thoughtful initiative and we wish to sincerely thank all members of the Okanagan Landing Fire Department for this very generous donation. Our food program will benefit greatly and the technology donation will provide four classrooms with new Smartboards (interactive whiteboards), projectors and document cameras to enhance our students' learning. The Okanagan Landing Volunteer Fire Department certainly has many very kind and generous members. Tom Watkinson and Rick Penner, Okanagan Landing Elementary

YOU AND THE LAW BEWARE FACEBOOK IF SUING FOR INJURIES By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. What you post on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube or other social media can come back to haunt you. This is especially true if you say the back injury you suffered in a car accident severely restricted your activities, but Facebook photos show you skiing down black diamond runs. Of course this is only a problem if what you say at pre-trial questioning or trial can be contradicted by such postings, allowing the other side to show that your claimed injuries and limitations are exaggerated or don’t exist.
incapacities, which the court also factored in her compensation award. The courts do try to balance your privacy rights in Facebook postings (and the rights of others) against the rights of the defence to get full disclosure of materially relevant evidence. And, after looking at photos posted on Facebook, the court will sometimes comment they aren’t very helpful. But in appropriate cases, the courts will even order you to disclose to the other side photos or videos not accessible to the public that you shared only with “friends” and family. So privacy settings on Facebook and general privacy rights may not protect you.

“We can’t make it a park tomorrow,” said Mike Macnabb, GVAC chairperson. “Much discussion has to take place first.” It’s anticipated GVAC’s possible involvement will be discussed at its November meeting. “It’s a long-term project and restructuring of the parks and recreation service is underway,” said Trafford Hall, Regional District of North Mike Macnabb Okanagan chairperson. The groups pushing for a park are the Ribbons of Green Trails Society and the Foothills Community Association. “Our vision is to retain it as a natural area,” said Wynn Polnicky, with the Foothills association. “We’re not talking about building playgrounds and putting in picnic tables.” The site is home to old-growth Douglas fir and a variety of plant and animal species. “It’s potentially a tourist attraction,” said Polnicky of trails and the bluff ’s views of Vernon and Okanagan Lake. Because of several steep slopes, Polnicky believes the site is better suited for park than housing. “There are several ravines that make it expensive to develop,” he said.

Gravel pit claims award JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
A Coldstream operation has rounded up recognition for a job well done. The B.C. Mine Reclamation Award for outstanding reclamation achievement in 2011 has been awarded to operators of the Rosebush pit in Lavington. “It is validation that we are doing an excellent job reclaiming and operating our pit, as this is a province wide nomination and award,” said Linsey Postill Johannson, who accepted the award with her husband Jamie Johannson of R.E. Postill and Sons (which operates the pit) and Keith Balcaen, Coldstream Ranch owner. The award, from
the B.C. Technical and Research Committee on Reclamation (BCTRCR) was given at the 36th annual British Columbia Mine Reclamation Awards presentation in Kamloops Sept. 19. “It’s basically saying we are doing the best job in B.C. at reclaiming,” said Linsey, adding that they were also nominated by the pit’s mine inspector from the Ministry of Energy and Mines. R.E. Postill & Sons Ltd.is a fourth generation family owned and operated Coldstream business, which was started by Linsey’s greatgrandfather Russell Eugene Postill in 1944. “We employ 17 people, many of whom have worked for us for their entire careers and

for three generations of Postill’s,” said Linsey. Mining commenced in the Rosebush pit in the 1970’s and has covered an area of approximately 60 hectares. To date 40 hectares have been reclaimed. As the gravel is extracted, clean quality fill is brought into the pit to bring it back up to grade and then topped with native topsoil. “This reclamation improves the land for farming in three ways; increasing water retention, leaving the pasture in a more farmable grade, and providing more consistent topsoil coverage.” Coldstream Ranch does the final preparations, by adding manure and preparing and planting the crops. The land is currently planted by Coldstream Ranch with grass, alfalfa mix and corn harvested for hay and silage, and also used as pasture for horses and cows. “Through this reclamation process we have improved the land from class four agricultural land to a class two agricultural land, improving the production and sustainability of the land for future agricultural uses.” While there have been some neighbouring complaints about dust and noise associated with the pit, the award proves that it is being operated at award-winning standards, notes Linsey.

GVAC tabled with school costs RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee may have to fulfill a commitment to Lavington. The Lavington Community Association has asked GVAC to help replace tables at the community centre at Lavington Elementary School. “Those (original) tables were purchased by regional district funds,� said director Doug Dirk, who provided his colleagues with some history. “This is a replacement item.� GVAC has a joint use agreement with the Vernon School District so the school gymnasium can host community events. A provincial grant for new tables will be sought, but if that is unsuc-

The estimated cost for the tables and table carts is $8,657 and $2,400 has been raised by the Lavington Ladies Work Group, the Lavington Community Association, Lavington Elementary, the Lavington May Day committee and the Lavington Fire Department. “External groups are making contributions which doesn’t always happen,� said Dirk. The goal is to acquire 32 tables. “The tables currently in use are more than 20 years old and in poor condition,� said Edith Thoreson, treasurer for the Lavington Community Association.

Garbage litters the area around the Kalamalka Lake lookout, off Highway 97.
Improvements are being looked at to spruce up a local tourist attraction – the Kalamalka Lake lookout. “The lookout is a stopping point for many visitors and guided tours, no matter the season,” said David Facey, director with the Society for the Protection of Kalamalka Lake (SPrKL). The site, off of Highway 97, offers vistas of the lake and Monashee range, but is also littered with garbage, graffiti and semitrailers. As a result, Facey is working to put some improvements in place. With the help of Bob Fleming, Area B regional district director, preliminary designs have been drawn up which include: ■ Relocating exist-
“The lookout is a stopping point for many visitors.” — Facey ing curbs to provide a pedestrian accessible area ■ Paving stones for walkways ■ Concrete picnic tables and benches ■ Additional waste and cigarette receptacles ■ Decorative landscape rock ■ Solar-powered lighting ■ Designated auto, RV and tour bus parking areas ■ Point of interest signs “The Vernon area is missing an opportunity to draw attention to one of the region’s premier attractions,” said Facey, in a letter to Coldstream council seeking its support. A lower plateau, highway signs to direct visitors, signs restricting commercial trucks and washroom facilities would also be a nice addition, says Facey. Support from local service groups is being sought and Facey is eager to get municipal and provincial approvals for the project. “I like the idea of improving that with the exception that cars being able to pull up and still have a view is something people like,” said Coldstream Coun. Doug Dirk, as the new design would restrict views from inside vehicles. Coldstream has asked Facey to make a presentation to council.

Okanagan apple prices climb JUDIE STEEVES Black Press
Alex Kreis Darryl Payeur, General Sales Manager, is pleased to announce that Alex Kreis, through his sales and customer satisfaction achievement, has been named our LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Marco Antonio picks royal gala apples in the Bella Vista Farm Market in Vernon. by ambrosias and Spartans. Colder nights have helped increase the colouring in them prior to picking, noted Markgraf, as did a couple of cooler nights in early September with the early varieties of apples. Chris Pollock, marketing manager for B.C. Tree Fruits, says sales teams are setting up sales programs for Eastern Canadian customers and exports to Southeast Asia. “It’s an opportunity for us this year,
but we’d like to create partnerships for the long term, not just a one-off,” he explained. As well, he said they must first ensure their loyal Western Canadian customers are looked after first. He did speculate that this year’s crop could be sold earlier than in most years, although they need to be able to have fruit available to provide continued sales to customers through spring as well.

The misfortunes of apple growers in Eastern Canada translate into good news for B.C. growers, with prices for this year’s apple crop already 10 to 20 per cent higher than last year. A late spring frost decimated apple crops in Eastern Canada and the U.S., so local fruit is in heavy demand from buyers who normally would purchase it in the east. Hank Markgraf, field services manager for the Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-operative, says this year’s harvest is only partway through, but overall fruit quality is good, including colour and firmness. A cool spring here means fruit is slightly smaller, but the quantity of fruit is up from what was forecast, just under three million 20-pound cartons. The crop in neighbouring Washington State is also up, at about 120 million cartons, but it’s hoped that U.S. sellers will sell into the Eastern U.S. rather than focussing on the B.C. markets this year, he commented. Very hot weather this summer slowed ripening of the crop, because trees tend to shut down during hot weather, so apples are being picked a bit later than usual, Markgraf said. McIntosh apples have already been picked and growers are in the midst of harvesting royal galas. They’ll be followed

Ski swap all set Morning Star Staff
An annual tradition gearing North Okanagan residents up for winter is set for Saturday. The 44th annual Vernon Ski and Snowboard Swap, hosted by the Vernon Ski Club takes place at 8:30 a.m. at the Vernon Recreation Complex. “The Vernon Ski Club is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year,” said Troy Assaly, club volunteer. “Helping kids and families enjoy recreational ski racing at Silver Star.” But before anyone hits the slopes or snowy trails, many are in search of the appropriate gear. “Contrary to what one might think, there are inexpensive options out there if you know where to shop,” said Assaly. “If you are looking for great deals on alpine ski, snowboard or cross country gear, the annual swap is the place to find it. Boots, clothing and equipment, new and recycled, all at great prices.” The swap will be overflowing with hundreds of new and used skis, boards, boots, clothing, helmets, poles and bindings for all ages. Every year the swap brings together up to 15 retailers from throughout the Okanagan, Kootenays and Lower Mainland. They can be expected to bring great deals on new and used
gear and clothing. “If it’s time to retire some of your own clothing or equipment, the Vernon Ski Swap takes your consignment items and sells them for you,” said Assaly. If you have equipment to sell, bring it to the Vernon Rec Complex on Friday, Oct. 12 between 3:30 and 7 p.m. Consignment tickets are $2 per item. Information booths for the Vernon Ski Club, Silver Star Adaptive Snow Sports and the Canadian Ski Patrollers will also be on site. For more information go to www. VernonSkiClub.ca.

Cotter square after 2 Morning Star Staff
VANCOUVER SPORTS PICTURES
Vernon’s Ryan Sarazin, of the UBC Thunderbirds, has locked up a scholarship to play field lacrosse for the University of Marquette Golden Eagles.
Vernon’s Jim Cotter was 1-1 heading into Saturday afternoon play in the $52,000 West Coast Curling Classic in New Westminster. Cotter, a two-time defending provincial champion, brushed back Steve Petryk of Calgary 6-2 Friday night after opening with a 7-5 loss to youngster Charley Thomas of Calgary earlier in the day. Cotter, who won $7,000 in the Prestige Hotels Curling Classic Monday in Vernon, took on Brock Virtue of Regina in his third game Saturday. He will also face Randie Shen of China and Andrew Bilesky of Vancouver in preliminary action. Bilesky, former world champion Kevin Koe, of Calgary, and Brent Pierce of the host Royal City club, were all 2-0 going into Saturday rocks. There are 18 teams entered in the World Curling Tour event, including two-time defending champion Kevin Martin of Edmonton. Martin has won the classic five times. Cotter is backed by new third Jason (The Gunner) Gunnlaugson, Tyrel Griffith and Rick Sawatsky.
Sputtering Vipers searching for offence Morning Star Staff
Jason Williamson started Saturday morning off by spilling coffee on himself. That drew laughs from assistant coach Dave Robinson. Everything else about their meeting was serious as they tried “to sort things out” after the Vernon Vipers lost 4-2 to the Penticton Vees in B.C. Hockey League action before 1,700 fans Friday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre. The Vipers have lost three straight and Williamson was positive heading into a Saturday night home tilt against the West Kelowna Warriors. “The desire is there,” said Williamson. “The learning curve is a little steeper than some of my younger guys thought it would be, and we expect more out of some other guys. We just have to work a little smarter.” Ontario rookie Michael Rebry scored one powerplay goal and one shorthanded to give him a team-high seven goals on the season. He was named first star ahead of the Vipers’
Adam Tambellini (1+1) and Vees’ goalie Chad Katunar. Wade Murphy also bagged two goals for Penticton, who lead the league table at 8-1. The Vipers dropped to 2-4-0-2, third-last in the BCHL. Aaron Hadley (fifth) scored the other Viper goal. He and Tambellini are the only Snakes with more than two goals. The Vipers are third-last in goals for, with 21. The Vees went 2-fo-5 on the powerplay, the VBipers 0-for-4. Penticton outshot Vernon 31-29 with Austin Smith suffering the loss. Pearce Eviston of the Vipers and Penticton rookie Dexter Dancs went toe-to-toe in a spirited fight in the final minute of the first period. The teams were tied 1-1 after 20 minutes with the Vees getting the lone goal of the second period. Murphy’s second goal came on the powerplay, with 1:20 left in the game. “Our guys played pretty hard; we gave them all they could handle,” said Williamson. “We’re young, but we can
definitely be better.” Williamson said he would start Smith, a former Swift Current Bronco, against West Kelowna. Former Viper Marcus Basara supplied the winner and one helper as the Warriors ambushed the visiting Trail Smoke Eaters 7-0 Friday night. West Kelowna shares third in the Interior Division with Trail at 4-2-0-2. Elsewhere, Vernon product Tyler Steel took first star with 24 saves as the Merritt Centennials clipped the host Powell River Kings 2-1. Diego Cuglietta and Regan Soquila handled the 5-1-1-0 Centennials’ offence. Vernon’s Harlan Orr made his BCHL debut with the Salmon Arm SilverBacks, who opened an Island swing with a 3-1 loss to the Victoria Grizzlies. The Prince George Spruce Kings smothered the host Surrey Eagles 4-1, the Chilliwack Chiefs grounded the Coquitlam Express 6-3 and the visiting Alberni Valley Bulldogs bounced the Cowichan Valley Capitals 3-1.

hile NHLers may be forced to move in with their parents, sell a condo or move some stocks because of the lockout, world-class curlers like Canadian champion Heather Nedohin watch their nickels and dimes like they are pennies and going out of style. They have to pay to play and for their $1,050 entry fee into the Prestige Hotels Curling Classic last weekend in Vernon, 32 women’s rinks were guaranteed at least three games, sunshine and a rockin’ good time at the Saturday night dance. Some ladies even got to dance with Olympic icemaker Dave Merklinger. Nedohin won last year’s Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Red Deer so receives a free entry into the 2013 national championship in Kingston as Team Canada. The 37-year-old mother of two daughters competes with the world’s finest skips and sweepers as she balances marriage, mothering and career out of Sherwood Park. The $9,000 she and third Beth Iskiw, Kevin Mitchell second Jessica Mair, lead Laine Peters and alternate Amy Nixon earned by winning the Vernon cashspiel will not be spent on a girls weekend in Vegas. “To maintain a high standard, you gotta play lots and you know what, it costs lots,” said Nedohin told me, moments after stopping Team Russia’s Anna Sidorova in Sunday’s final. “So this goes right back in (their travel fund). If we break even at the end of the season, we feel pretty good. That may sound surprising, but we’re not hockey players that have big contracts. We gotta compete at a high level so that means we’re travelling lots.” Well known in curling circles for her drama-jammed body language and facial contortions, Nedohin is married to Dave Nedohin, who has been to several cashspiels here, and won four Brier titles and three world crowns throwing fourth stones for Randy Ferbey. Heather and Dave know all the shortcuts at most airport terminals in Canada, and once in a while, they end up sharing a room while competing in the same cashpiel. It’s all about trying to rack up World Curling Tour points which go towards the Canadian Team Ranking System which determines who is worthy of the 2014 Sochi Olympic pre-trials and main trials. So, how does a Canadian champion married to a multiple world champion juggle what sounds like an overwhelming checklist. “We have a really dynamic support group, whether it’s our mother-in-laws or immediate family members,” said Nedohin, in a hoarse voice, after playing 10 games in four days. “We also have a really amazing community: with the girls with their ringette, friends and coaches and everybody. It’s kind of fun to see that community pride and support. We definitely have a big realm of support to get us through the season.” Nedohin and company will chase Continental Cup cash Jan. 10-13 in Penticton and then fly to Scotland for the Glynhill Ladies International in Glasgow. “When everybody else is doing their provincials, we have nothing. So there’s good and bad in that. We gotta go out and play. We don’t wanna sit around while everybody else is doing their playdowns. We wanna be ready and prepared for Kingston.”

Q: A:
Are turkey bones okay for my dog?
We know Thanksgiving is here and we all like to share our feast with our best friends, two or four legged, but do we think about possible consequences. Most of us have pampered pooches who live the life of luxury and do not have the hardiness of their predecessors. Bones, however tasty, can break into shards and can pierce or block the throat and/or the intestinal tract. Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) a more serious ailment can also occur when your pet consumes fatty leftovers. The pancreas produces enzymes for digestion and when it becomes irritated, serious illness can result. Signs to watch for include loss of appetite, dry heaves, vomiting and diarrhea. If you observe any of these signs consult your veterinarian. Also please do remember that some of our pets tend to get into the garbage, especially if the aroma of turkey with all the fixings is emanating. Dispose of the turkey carcass or ham bone in a double bag, and store in a secure area to avoid access by your pet. — Dr. Miles Latwat, DVM

Team Canada skip Heather Nedohin shouts instructions in the Prestige Hotels Curling Classic in Vernon. Nedohin, who eats Cadbury Mini Eggs during games, won’t have to face superstar Jennifer Jones (expecting a baby) so will be given a great chance at repeating as Canadian golden girls and advance to the worlds in Latvia. She won a bronze at the 2012 Ford Worlds in Lethbridge (Mirjam Ott of Switzerland was the winner). For the record, Canadian women have won a leading 15 world rings, but only three in the last 10 years. (Jennifer Jones, 2008), Kelly Scott (2007) and Colleen Jones (2004). Also hoping to reach the 2014 Olympics in the Russia resort town is Ayumi Ogasawara of Japan. She and third Yumie Funayama are in the midst of a comeback after playing in the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics. Ogasawara, who missed qualifying for the Prestige playoffs last weekend, and Funayama are both 33 and fairly new mothers. They would love to take their kids to Sochi. “It is difficult for us because I just came back and I keep trying to get points,” Ogasawara told me. “I got married and got pregnant. Curling is growing in Japan. There are six leagues in Sapporo (about 95 kilometres from her home of Moseushi) and they just opened a five-sheet rink in my town.” The Japanese ladies are off to Lethbridge for a training camp and will then compete in Kamloops and Red Deer cashspiels and train in Burnaby for two months before heading home for playoffs. They will need a second-place finish or better at the Pan Pacific Games to qualify for Latvia. It will probably be a few years before Japan joins the international women’s curling explosion which sees China, Korea and Russia as contenders to topple the Swiss, but at least they’re in the mix.
Burns gets Knights going Morning Star Staff
Vernon product Tanner Burns scored twice and set up another as the North Okanagan Knights iced the Revelstoke Grizzlies 6-2 in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League play Friday night in Armstrong. Dustin Nikkel recorded 49 saves and earned first star before 300 fans at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Knights entertained the Penticton Lakers Saturday night. “Dusty’s been unreal for us,” said Burns, 19. “He’s very athletic and he works really hard with (goaltending coach) Brett Thomlinson. I think he only started playing goal in Bantam.” Colton Thibault of Vernon, captain Steven
Pantazopoulos, Mat Lambert of Vernon and Tyler Bolduc also scored for the Knights. “We have a good young team and everybody seems to get along,” added Burns. “When you have a strong goalie behind you, it makes everybody want to work that much harder.” Devon Hascarl of Vernon and Brayden Beckley replied for the Grizzlies, whose head coach, former Vernon Viper captain Kevin Kraus, walked away unscathed after falling asleep and totalling his truck in an accident Wednesday night near Sicamous. Matt Saharchuk and Derek Andrews each pocketed a pair of assists for the Knights, who improved to 6-1-0-1, second-best in the KIJHL.

Lakers shut down Cats Morning Star Staff
The host Kalamalka Lakers shut down the VSS Panthers 5-0 in North Zone Senior AA Boys Soccer League play Thursday. Brett Jewell and Alex Kreutz each scored twice for the 5-1 Lakers, while Swade Scebba added a single. “The midfield was well controlled by Lucas Ross and Steven Gobel and the back line was solid, led by Bryce Dyck,” said Lakers’ head coach Cari Dyck. “We got stellar play by goalie Thomas van de Crommenacker.” Kal visits King’s Christian Tuesday in Salmon Arm before entertaining King’s Thursday. Elsewhere Thursday, the Fulton Maroons brushed back the Seaton Sonics 1-0 in a highly physical, competitive game at MacDonald Park. Attacking midfielder Ko Kameyama scored his third goal in two games when he picked up a loose ball 30 yards from goal and lofted a lovely ball over top of the keeper in the 25th minute, Seaton created several good scoring opportunities but were unable to finish. Late in the first half, Maroons’ head coach Wayne Aasen switched the formation from a 4-5-1 to a more conventional 4-4-2 and it started paying off with several scoring attempts. Fulton forward Victor Gouchee had some good scoring chances. Aasen put Michael Bennett up front and it immediately paid dividends when Matthieu Wouters played a lovely ball in behind the Seaton back four to Bennett. A Seaton defender tripped Bennett as he was about to shoot and the referee awarded Fulton a penalty shot, Bennett dusted himself off and took responsibility for executing the penalty. The Seaton keeper managed to save the penalty. “At times we are our own worst enemies” said Aasen. “We miss scoring opportunities at crucial times in games. Seaton has some great attacking players so you need to punish them when you have the opportunities.”
In Tuesday action, Fulton outlasted the Pleasant Valley Saints of Armstrong 6-3 at a cold and windswept Marshall Field. Fulton fell behind on an early goal by Kylan Vankempeia of PVSS after some confusion in the backline. Maththieu Wouters evened the score not long after when the PVSS keeeper dropped a ball in the goal area. It remained tied until the second half when Ben Aspenleider scored on a 25-yard rocket for the second consecutive game and then followed up slotting home a fine penalty after a Fulton player was brought down in the box. Wouters scored his second of the game and became Fulton’s leading scorer. Vankampeia completed his hat trick with two well-taken solo goals before international student Koichiro Kameyama scored two nicely-finished goals.
Volleyball Maroons make quarters In high school volleyball, the Fulton AAA Maroons won their pool Friday in the Tier 2 Division at the UBCO Heat Invitational. Sharon Shaigec’s crew advanced to the top-16 Saturday, facing No. 1 Elphinstone Cougars of Gibsons in the quarterfinals. Fulton beat Selkirk Highlanders of Kimberley 2-0 (25-19, 25-20), defeated Princess Margaret Mustangs of Penticton 2-0 (25-9, 25-5) and iced Quesnel Spartans 2-0 (25-21, 25-20). “The girls are serving very tough and our team is scrappy on defence,” said Shaigec. “Defensive specialist Jessica Houghton made some key digs to enable us to come back with a strong middle attack from Hana Ouchi. Jacquie Banks is connecting with crushing attacks set up by veteran setter Danielle Olson. “Alana Young is on the right side hitting well placed attacks and adding to our offensive attack by stepping up as a setter, getting Olson into the attack pattern with crushing hits. And rookie call up Nazerena Wurz made two key blocks to close the game out at a critical point versus Selkirk.”
The VSS Panthers Grade 8s picked up ribbons in the Zone crosscountry run Wednesday in Revelstoke. Connor Johnston and Sam Eggert were one-two in the boys’ division, while Noah Zurfluh and Hanna Bennison took the toptwo spots in the girls. The Cats placed second in the senior boys team standings, helped by Keith Ingbrigston’s 11th-placing overall. Johnston was eighth overall on the Illcillewaet Greenbelt Trails, while Mack Moody of the PVSS Saints was second and Joey Kohut of the Fulton Maroons was fifth. Eamonn Miller of Seaton Sonics was seventh overall. Salmon Arm won the senior boys and girls and junior boys team titles. Thomas Hardy of the Golds won the senior boys race. On the girls’ side, Glynnis Sim of the Golds was first, while Natalie Johnston and Megan Johnston, both of VSS, finished fifth and sixth respectively. Jenica Camalush of the Cats was 12th.

Opinions of value
H
ow does one go about getting a reliable opinion of the current value of their real estate? This question is not as complex as you may think. Generally, you can ask a realtor. Realtors will do what is called a competitive market analysis, usually at no charge. We realtors do this on the expectation that it will result in business for us, sometime in the future. A competent analysis involves a physical tour of the property, and a discussion with the homeowner regarding how much time is available to sell the property. The time to sell is important because selling a property in 30 days or less is quite different than if the seller has 90 to 180 days, which is the more typical time it takes to sell a property these days. After the property has been viewed and the realtor has interviewed the seller, it is time to begin the analysis. Firstly, your realtor will seek out the sales that have occurred within the most recent 90 days. They will analyze the sales on properties which are as similar as possible to yours. All facets of comparison need to be addressed. For example, square footage, location, views, extra features or the lack of, and condition are the basics that need to be compared. Also, if the market is rising or falling the sold prices would need to be adjusted accordingly. Once the applicable sold properties have been isolated, the realtor normally studies the current competition in much Turning old furniture into

up on the evaluation of hundreds of properties. At best, they can only reasonably attempt a general opinion of value. Another catch with assessments is that they are done the year before. They cannot be any more current than October of the previous year. The cut-off has to be that far ahead, so that the assessment opinions are prepared and mailed out to homeowners in January. This is so there is time for the property owners to initiate the appeal process if they take issue with the tax value shown on their assessment. The bottom line is that assessments are not nearly current enough to use to establish present market value. The last question I would like to address is, “Do you need a certified appraisal?” The answer again is “sometimes. If you are in any kind of legal process or entanglement, get a certified appraisal.

There are extra accreditations the courts look to for opinions of value on unusual properties such as native land claims and high end properties etc. etc. If you are trying to settle situations like an estate or if you are going through a divorce, seek out the certified appraiser. There are several such appraisal firms in most cities. To find a good Appraiser, ask your realtor. If you are putting your property up for sale, it is never a bad idea to get a certified appraisal. It is a quality second opinion to combine with your realtors’ evaluation. The cost for most certified residential appraisals is currently about $300 to $400. This is a well priced service for what the appraisers do.

The Mackie Lake House is remarkable for its architecture, family history, and links with the early settlement and cultural life of the North Okanagan. This substantial house is located on its original five-acre fruit lot subdivided by the Coldstream Ranch, ca. 1906. The imposing’ 20 room structure was built in 1910 for R.C. Buchanan, a wealthy businessman from Montreal. The architect was Robert Findlay; the builder was T.E. Crowell. Some of Crowell’s other building commissions included Beairsto Elementary School, the Smith House (music school), and the CPR Railway Station. At the time of its construction, this house was identified as one of the finest in the Interior of B.C. History has it that Mr. Buchanan was so determined that no flaw or blemish should mar the home in any way, that each evening he would inspect everything which had been built, carrying a sharp hatchet, and any detail that was not up to his standards would be ruthlessly removed. Although eclectic in its architectural style, it conforms most closely to the High-Style Arts and Crafts tradition and was built to the highest stan-

Mackie, 1987). The Mackie Lake House Foundation was established by Patrick (Paddy) Mackie in 1993. Upon his death in 1999 the property was bequeathed to the Foundation, which is mandated to preserve and present the buildings, grounds, furnishings, fine art collection, and related history of the Mackie Lake House for the enjoyment and education of the public. These objectives are expressed in support of art and culture, science and education in the community. The work of the Foundation is multifaceted. Three programs developed and administered by the Foundation are: 1) An Artist in Residence program; 2) An educational program for Grades 3 and 6 students of the Vernon School District, including a guided tour of the grounds of the Mackie Lake House consisting of an interactive field experience in Fylton Woods. This field trip is an onsite outdoor classroom that encourages exploration of the natural world. Field trips may be booked from May 1 to May 31) The Writer in Residence Program has resulted in nine books published by Kalamalka Press (Okanagan College) over the past decade. John Lent, long-
time professor of English at Okanagan College, has been instrumental in selecting candidates for the program. The Foundation also offers many events for the enjoyment of the community. The Meet the Mackies Tour and Tea has become very popular as actors representing Mackie family members share personal stories and details of the home’s history. The Back in Time Tours present an overview of the architecture, history, and characteristics of this unique home. Another aspect of the involvement of the community with the Mackie Lake House is House Rentals. This hallmark heritage building is highly suitable for business or club meetings and social events. A rental of the Mackie Lake Home offers a wonderful venue for family events. The park-like setting of the front lawns overlooking Kalamalka Lake is the perfect place for weddings and family picnics. Events for September 2012 included: Paddy’s 90th birthday party and a Writer in Residence reception. Bill Hamilton is a member of the Heritage Sub-Committee, along with Linda Jenkins and Shelagh McGinn. Special thanks to the Greater Vernon Museum for photos.

Get smart
W
hen any issue reaches the front page, by definition there’s a lot of information out there. Unfortunately, in some cases, there’s a lot of misinformation, too. That’s exactly what’s happened with smart meters. You’ve no doubt heard a lot about B.C. Hydro’s plans to gradually replace the old analog meters with new modern meters. Some are in favour, some opposed – but I think most of those who object at least have reasonable questions. Unfortunately, some people have gone way past reasonable, preying on people’s worst fears and in some cases, insulting people’s intelligence. If that sounds too harsh, the Interior Smart Meter Awareness chairperson was quoted in the Merritt Herald saying “they can monitor your heart rate when you are inside the cloud of your house,” and that “they have actually found ways to pull your pin number directly out of your head.” Quite simply, that’s nonsense. Let me first address some of the more reasonable questions I have heard. First, contrary to what some people have claimed, smart meters are reliable. Their accuracy is overseen by Measurement Canada, a federal consumer protection agency. As of August 20, B.C. Hydro had installed more than 1.5 million smart meters with very few problems. In fact, there have been less than one-tenth of one per cent of meters that have had a problem of any kind. As with the installation of any new electronic equipment, there will be a very small number of units that don’t work properly – this was true of the older meters and would be true of the new meters as well. As with any operation of that size, there have been some errors. For example, B.C. Hydro has removed approximately 1,000 smart meters for testing, true.
But what you may not know is that every year, Hydro performs field tests on about 40,000 analog meters. Second, some people have said B.C. Hydro is paying too much for their smart meters. Again, not true. Utilities in Ontario and Quebec also paid about $200 per meter, but Eric Foster B.C. Hydro’s program is more ambitious. B.C. Hydro is upgrading our entire electricity system including the telecommunications infrastructure, adding system meters to better manage the flow of electricity, and provide feedback tools for customers to save energy and money. Finally, smart meters are safe. Some people have pointed out they haven’t been approved by the Canadian Safety Association – but the CSA certifies consumer products, not products owned, operated, and managed by public utilities. The new smart meters are fully compliant with the
MLA REPORT
most stringent requirements of the American National Standards Institute, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and International Electrotechnical Commission. Hopefully that sheds some light on some misinformation – and if you’d like to know why B.C. Hydro is moving towards smart meters, the answer couldn’t be simpler: to save more money and make the grid more reliable. Let me briefly expand on both points. First, to save money. Upgrading our electrical metering system and grid will deliver $1.6 billion in savings to British Columbians over the next 20 years and help keep our rates among the lowest in North America. Second, smart meters will make B.C.’s electrical grid more reliable. The provincial electricity system hasn’t changed since the 1950s. Consider that a smart grid will allow B.C. Hydro to detect power outages in real time, and respond accordingly. This cannot be done with the current grid. It really is that simple.

a lot to be thankful for. We have just had weeks and weeks of sun-filled days with cool nights, perfect for sleeping, a fantastic harvest of our apple and vegetable crop, the verdant hills and mountains rising above us and our magnificent lakes sparkling in the sunshine. Indeed people
were still swimming in Kalamalka Lake last week as I drove by. What’s not to be thankful for?

The Custom System refers to special needs transportation such as HandyDart and the Taxi Saver Program, a vital service for those with disabilities and mobility issues. A lot of work has been done to maintain these programs and a lot more needs to be done if we are to keep these programs going. Therefore it is very important to be part of the BC Transit Review if you have, or see, a need to keep our Custom System in place. The City of Vernon’s Accessibility Committee has been identified as a key stakeholder in this Custom System planning process and will be seeking input from individuals and groups to forward to the BC Transit’s Future Plan.

Tufts University in their Health & Nutrition Letter of August 2012 has come up with this list of the latest healthy ideas in health research. 1. Combining body and brain activity protects your memory 2. Raisins might be a surprising health food (study found raisins sharply reduced blood pressure and are high in potassium, known to lower blood pressure — keep in mind, though, that about 60 raisins
contain 85 calories. 3. Measuring waistline and hips helps gauge your heart risk. 4. No surprise here — joggers live longer and have a great sense of well-being compared to non-joggers. 5. Fiber might also be good for your heart, especially in women, in protecting against heart disease. 6. Switching from white to brown rice could reduce your diabetes risk. 7. Skipping sugarsweetened beverages may help prevent heart attacks. 8. Eating like a Mediterranean (emphasis on fish, olive oil, whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and nuts) can produce a better healthrelated quality of life. 9. Low-fat dairy is linked to fewer strokes. 10. Get moving to ward off Alzheimer’s — any physical activity may lower your risk of developing Alzheimer’s.

“All of our foster families are amazing. The people here are just a small sample of our amazing people,� said Noelle Typusiak, foster parent coordinator, North Okanagan Foster Parents Association, as she introduced the foster parents who had taken time from their busy lives to talk about taking foster children into their homes. Dalton and Cheryl Moore have been foster parents for five years, after thinking about it for a long time. “We talked about it for years and what held us back was that we thought it too hard to give them back,� said Dalton. Cheryl, who has a background in early childhood education, retired early and they became foster parents. “Some we’ve kept for two days and some are still there after 20 years. If we don’t look after them, who’s going to?� said Dalton. Carol Skelton and her husband have five children and added five foster children, as well as any who needed emergency foster care, over the past 17 years. “We got our value out of our family ski pass,� she said with a smile. “Both my husband’s family and my family were foster families and we have foster brothers and sisters who are part of our family. Now we have a grandchild from one of our foster children. We say we’ll keep the children as long as necessary. We raised one sibling group, all under five and one a baby, and now they’re adults.� While foster care officially ends at age 19. The goal is to reunite children with their birth families, with some foster parents helping birth parents to learn parenting skills. Some foster parents provide respite care or specialize in caring for children with special needs. Ken and Colleen Ziegler have been foster parents for 24 years. They had a family and hadn’t really been thinking about fostering but their youngest son had a friend who needed a foster home and he was the first of many children they welcomed. It all followed another change in their lives. “We became Christians,� Colleen said. Ken added, “This journey has become a fulltime mission in our lives — the compassion that Christ felt for people and children, we can do that through his strength.� They have had more than 20 children, most long term, and many have stayed part of the family. Cindy Vanhoof and her husband have been foster parents for 18 years.
CARA BRADY/MORNING STAR
Colleen and Ken Ziegler say their lives have been enriched by being foster parents for 24 years. “There are challenges. Some of the children have rarely been outside and don’t know how to play, eat and sleep on a regular schedule. We let them be kids. We can see them blossom. I had a child say to me, ‘I’m so glad I went into foster care when I did or I wouldn’t be the girl I am today.’ I remember another girl who didn’t recognize homemade food at first and wouldn’t eat it. Then she reminded me when I forgot to put the flax in her yogurt!� The foster parents shared a variety of memories: seeing a child arrive with all their belongings in a small plastic grocery bag; siblings huddling together for comfort, not knowing what was happening; children surprised that parents would go to work regularly; having children who didn’t know that they should sit down at the table with the family to eat; being the oldest parents at school events; a child who was amazed to see a healthy marriage relationship where the husband did not hit the wife; a toddler still in diapers hoarding food and towels in a cupboard and pretending to talk to her mother about all the good things she had found. “It’s rewarding. You don’t know what they will remember. We had one child who had a stuffie toy I had given him and he kept if for years. There was another who used to cuddle on my lap when he was a toddler and still likes to sit on my lap sometimes on a Saturday morning when we have our traditional pancake and bacon breakfast,� said Dalton. “Even when they go home, we keep up the relationship, doing things like taking them out for a birthday lunch.� Carol remembers an incident from not

Ken thinks that foster children are getting better help than ever before as their needs are recognized earlier. “Society has come a long way in helping the children,� he said. Carol noted that some people show surprise when they see that her family is not all of the same ethnic background. “Mosty, we get a good response. and we do everything we can to help children connect with their cultural heritage. It’s good for all the children in the family to see that there are differences but we can all learn to accept each other for who we are,� she said. There are approximately 125 foster parents in the Vernon area (includes Falkland, Cherryville, Lumby, Armstrong and Westside) with about 200 foster children in care. There is always a need for more foster parents, short- or long-term, with a particular need for foster parents who identify
as First Nations or MĂŠtis, will care for teens or will provide respite care for children and youth with special needs. Foster parents can be single parents or couples of any age. “We have foster parents who were foster kids and know what it means to children. Each person has their strengths and abilities and gifts to give. Foster parents make a huge difference for the children and often change their lives forever. There are many resources to help them,â€? said Typusiak. There are social workers for the children, parents and foster parents, all working toward what is best for the children. Foster parents can also take part in on-going education and support groups. The next information session for people who are considering becoming foster parents will be held from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Oct. 9 at The Gathering Place, #300,310030th Ave. This is a drop-in session. Pre-registration is required for the pre-service training starting Oct. 29.

Every Canadian Cancer Society volunteer is a valued team member supporting those who have been touched by cancer, and Marguerite Hughes is no exception Hughes has been instrumental in the organization of the wig room which in this past year alone, has loaned out more than 100 wigs complete with styling and maintenance instructions. The wig room also provides turbans, hats, scarves, and night caps (made and donated mainly by Telus Community Ambassadors). “This service is provided for those
who have, or are, losing their hair due to cancer,” said Wendy Stewart, president of the Vernon unit of the society. Hughes has recently handed over the running of the wig room to fellow volunteer Camille Garland. “Although Marguerite will remain as a valued volunteer, we would like to express our gratitude for her dedication to CCS and her community,” said Stewart.” For more information on how the Canadian Cancer Society can help, please call Cancer Information Services at 1-888-939-3333 or the Vernon unit at 250-542-0770.

steps. We will take in the information, and either adapt it, swirl it around with other information or kick it out. If you find you are working on an issue, and keep reading about it, and reading, talking about it and not doing anything about it, spend time figuring out why not before you take in more ideas. Taking the time to analyze what is blocking you can make a big difference and maybe talk to a counsellor about what stops you. You may need to give yourself permission to say yes to yourself and make you the priority. There are many great avenues for shared wisdom; some of my best parenting advice came from other parents who were friends or strangers at the playground or sports fields sidelines. Their ideas came from a from place of love and respect and experience. My parents were great role models for parenting, family, work habits, including my mother, who was the queen of networking a room, social networking before the web.

Twenty years of musica intima The indie rockers of choral music bring some Cancon for their latest tour to Vernon KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
It was an innocent enough way to start. Eight friends, all enrolled in the music program at the University of British Columbia, were sitting around a dining room table with a bottle of wine talking about where to take their voices. Since those humble beginnings 20 years ago, musica intima has continued to gain new fans and earn its reputation as one of Canada’s most exciting vocal ensembles. Although he was 13 years old at the time –– his voice just barely reaching the lower register it does now –– Peter Alexander says that meeting amongst music intima’s founders would instill in him a love of singing... and wine. Now a member of the group FACTOR (the Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent on Recordings) named “Canada’s indie rock choral band,” Alexander joins musica intima as it winds its way through wine country to open the North Okanagan Community Concert Association’s 2012-13 season on Oct. 14. Alexander was a fan of the a cappella singing group long before he auditioned for them. “I bought their second CD (1999’s Clear) when I was in Grade 11. I had heard them sing Shenandoah and Loch Lomond, and loved it,” said Alexander, who after high school went on to study orchestral percussion at UBC and also trained in classical voice at Vancouver Community College. He first auditioned for music intima in 2003. “I am a bass voice normally, but I was asked to sing tenor. Back then it was too early for me to sing

Music intima members Melanie Adams (back from left), Shane Raman, Tora Klassen, Peter Alexander, Caitlin Beaupre, Lane Price, Jacob Gramit (front left) and Bess Albrecht open the North Okanagan Community Concert season at the Performing Arts Centre Oct. 14. in that range, so a year and a half later I auditioned again for the bass part when it became open,” said Alexander who has since sung tenor, baritone and bass in various choirs and ensembles. However, it’s with music intima, known for its lack of a conductor, that he feels the most at home. With only eight members, the group is close-knit to say the least, and all decisions are made by each member of the group, all of whom are considered artistic directors. Although the ensemble started as an eight-member group, four more voices were added two years after forming so that they could qualify for the CBC Choral Competition, said Alexander. They ended up winning the
competition and stayed as a 12-member group until last year. “We have always considered ourselves a chamber ensemble first and foremost,” said Alexander. “I think having eight of us makes us more focussed.” It also doesn’t hurt for transportation on this current tour, which starts in Edmonton and then travels to Nelson and Vernon. “At least we now only need two cars to get from town to town,” said Alexander. A new member is also on board for the journey with the recent addition of Jacob Gramit, who is also out of the UBC’s vocal program. “He’s a natural and studied music in Europe,” said Alexander.
Musica intima last performed in the Okanagan when the Western Canada Music Awards took place in Kelowna two years ago. One of the musicians they performed alongside as part of the awards showcase, Breakout West, was none other than Ed Henderson, of rock band Chilliwack. The group plans to perform a song Henderson wrote for them entitled Your Fragrance on this tour. “The last few years we have focussed on Canadian choral repertoire. Before this we had recorded music by Estonian composers that everyone in Europe was already singing,” said Alexander, adding that it was Polyfonia, a choral festival in France, where they decided to change their mandate.

“We were the only choir from North America to be invited and we were told to bring Canadian repertoire, so we thought we should champion this and build a show around it.” For this tour, musica intima will perform Henderdon’s piece as well as works by such Canadian composers as R. Murray Schafer and even B.C. Celtic rock band Spirit of the West’s The Crawl, arranged for them by group alumnus Andrew Hillhouse. Another work has been arranged by musica intima founder Michael Murray, while tenor and current member, Lane Price has contributed one of his original compositions. “It’s very Canadian-centric,” said Alexander about the repertoire, adding, “We will still perform some European composers for good measure.” The ensemble is also planning a compilation of its favourite songs from the last 20 years, culminating in a best-of recording and spring concert, aptly tiled 20. “I think we’ve come full circle in 20 years. We are collaborating with the alumni members of the group and are reserving our best vintage for the occasion,” said Alexander, again alluding to the group’s other favourite indulgence. Music intima’s many fans will drink to that. The ensemble takes the stage at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre for one night only, Oct. 14 at 7:30 p.m. North Okanagan Community Concert Association memberships and individual tickets ($35/adults and $17.50/students under 18, $5/eyeGo) are now available at the Ticket Seller box office. Call 549-7469 or purchase online at ticketseller.ca. sss The North Okanagan Community Concert Association has a full roster planned for its coming season, despite the fact that it has reverted back to holding one concert each by its performers. This year, NOCCA has pulled out all the stops booking some of Canada’s top classical acts.

Koontz talks Thomas
K
nown for his bestselling suspense thrillers, Dean Koontz has incorporated elements of science fiction, horror, and fantasy into his books, along with spiritual grounding. When Koontz writes about the battle between good and evil, he speaks from experience. He endured a frightening childhood with a violent alcoholic father, but found happiness and stability in his long-term marriage. He Maureen Curry also converted to Catholicism, and though he later went through a period of questioning that faith, he has returned to it. No matter how dark a path his characters travel, good usually triumphs, and every life is shown to have value and meaning. This is evident in his most popular character, Odd Thomas, a humble fry cook who “sees the lingering dead” and is called upon to do battle against evil forces to help those in need. Odd Thomas returns in Odd Apocalypse, the fifth book of seven planned in a series with Odd’s name. Publishers Weekly recently interviewed Koontz about his life and work. What follows are excerpts: PW: You weave spiritual themes into your books that are integral to your own beliefs, correct? DK: The spiritual element has been in my work for a long time, but I don’t
OFF THE SHELF
write from a religious perspective so much as from a point of view that says life has meaning and that this meaning makes life precious. PW: How has Odd Thomas evolved for you? DK: When I wrote the first Odd book, I knew only that he was extremely humble – you don’t see humility in male action-series characters – and that his psychic gift required him to lead a simple existence. He is on a journey to ultimate humility, exploring the features and strengths of that quality over seven books. PW: You have not been happy with film and television adaptations of your work, but you are excited about the upcoming Odd Thomas movie. Why is this different? DK: Odd is as vivid to me as if he were a real person. I have had such bad luck with Hollywood, I thought I would never allow anyone to put him on film. Then Stephen Sommers (The Mummy) called and walked me through what he thought the character was about. He didn’t strike a false note. And then he wrote a perfect screenplay. It’s exhilarating. I’ve seen the finished film, and I am finally able to rave about a movie based on my work. Odd Thomas, the film adaptation of Koontz’s series, stars Willem Dafoe (Anton Yelchin portrays Odd), and is projected to be released in 2013. The first five titles in the Odd series are available in regular print, large print and on CD through the Okanagan Regional Library. Odd Apocalypse is also available as a seven-day quick read.

Waldon. “Season tickets also give members the opportunity to go to community concerts in Kelowna and Penticton.” The association has also worked out a deal with some local hotels and motels for those from out of the Vernon area who do not wish to drive home at night after an evening concert. “We’re also looking at carpooling and pick-up services,” said Waldon, adding out-of-town guests can also get $20 tickets on the night of the performance. Further details will be available on the NOCCA website at http://members.shaw.ca/nocca or by calling 250-542-3461.

Chamber ensemble musica intima opens the NOCCA season Oct. 14, followed by four other respected classical groups. They include Triple Forte, who will perform at the red carpet gala, where everyone is encouraged to dress up in their finery, Nov. 21, as well as the Montreal Guitar Trio Jan. 18, pianist Ruston Vuori (for an afternoon only concert) March 17, and clarinet virtuoso Francois Houle April 23. The decision to go back to holding one concert each, and discontinuing most of the afternoon concerts, was a difficult decision, said Jan Waldon, spokesperson for the association. “The main reason was that as presentation costs were rising, our number of season ticket purchasers was falling and we couldn’t afford to have two performances,” she said. “We sincerely apologize to those who have faithfully attended the matinees but in the 2012-2013 season, only one of the five concerts will be held in the afternoon. The good news is, we were able to avoid increasing the season ticket price.” This year, memberships cost $100 for adults ($50 for students 18 and under) for all five concerts. “That’s a value of $20 per concert compared to $35 and $17.50 for an individual ticket,” said

Artist unveils new work at winery Morning Star Staff
I Am the Veil, a collection of new works by West Kelowna artist Julia Trops, is being presented at Ex Nihilo Vineyards in Lake Country. “I called this show I Am The Veil because the wind holds the dichotomy of truth,” said Trops. “It can indicate the lack of control, and control at the same time. It is the essence of serendipity. The veil is a covering; it is substantial, or diaphanous. It prevents access, it is a wall, but it can also entice, reveal or suggest. We hold our own veil; we have control, and need only the tiniest of contact to allow its activation or not.” I Am The Veil is the first part of the series Venus Rising, and the start of work resulting from a residency Trops made to Italy, where she fell in love with scarves and fabric. “It was so rich and full and ever present,” she said. “Clothing had meaning in both art and life. Living day to day there were metaphors in abundance –– the earth was alive, the wind spoke, fresh fish from the sea, olives in the trees, and people live side by side with history tens of thousands of years old. It was a growing and magical time.” Trops felt time was different in Italy and that the experience of reality was more direct to the subconscious. She felt connected to the vibrancy of life, to the earth itself. There, she came to understand that veil between reality and the unreal was thin and she understood
how the connection between man and the gods/goddesses was facile. “I’m not talking about religion, but a more earthy spiritual relationship between the self and the land,” she said. Trops says her original project was to research and focus specific icons/deities/symbols of the female form within Italy, but she quickly realized that in some areas there is as big a barrier to the female identity, as there is in North America, and yet in others, there is no barrier. In the Salento region, which she explored during her residency, Trops says it seemed easy to become one with the earth and with the elements. “On the surface, I believe it has to do with the lack of prevalence of machines and technology. While present and available in the south, they were not an overwhelming imposition on every day life. I said before I left that I expected to travel back in time, and I did.” Upon her return to Canada, Trops was overwhelmed with the imagery she experienced and so began painting. “It was then that this veil became very prominent,” she said. “It is only upon reflection I realized why, and as time goes on, I am sure more realizations will present themselves.” I Am a Veil opens Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. at Ex Nihilo Winery, 1525 Camp Rd. Winfield, and will be displayed through the month of October.

Looper:
A
paradox is defined as a statement that leads to a contradiction or a situation which (if true) defies logic or reason. Paradoxical statements that might even escape your mouth occasionally, include :“Nobody goes to that restaurant, it’s too crowded.” Stories that involve time travel are also rife with paradoxes, such that Taylor & Howe it would be impossible for you to go back and kill your own father when he was a boy, as this would prevent you from ever being born. Looper is the tale of a group of secret hitmen whose victims are sent back to them via time travel because it’s very difficult to dispose of bodies in the future. Loopers are well rewarded but living on borrowed time, as eventually, to keep this business clandestine, the Loopers themselves are sent back from the future to become their own victims, for one last, big payout. If you let your future self go free, you’re both in big trouble... We say, “Forget about logic, just enjoy the ride...” TAYLOR: Looper was fun. I think it’s a film about choice and having every option simultaneously available to us, but being limited to only one set of experiences. I enjoyed trying to wrap my head around it. But there were two major plot points that seemed impossible, if previous events were to be considered real. I can’t tell you what these instances were without spoiling the plot for you, so let’s just say, at least twice in the movie, I should have found myself watching some other film. HOWE: I thought we we’re forgetting about the logic problems. TAYLOR: We are, starting now... HOWE: When? TAYLOR: Exactly.

REEL REVIEWS
SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT
Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays the younger Joe in action thriller Looper. HOWE: I enjoyed Looper. It isn’t the best time travel movie I have seen (Back to the Future is still better than this and makes more sense) but because we haven’t had one for a long time it was a nice change from some of the trash we’ve seen. TAYLOR: Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s impression of his older self, embodied by Bruce Willis was uncanny. Part of it we can thank the special effects and makeup departments, but his expressions and voice was the studied product of a talented actor. You can’t see Gordon-Levitt, you see someone who looks like he could be Willis’ son. Although the performances in the film were well crafted, there were a few things in this future world (2044) that seemed out of place.

HOWE: The best they could do was take a 2009 Toyota Yaris or 1990 F150, add some solar panels and a bit of plastic pipe and presto, it’s a futuristic vehicle. Very poor.

Capsule Comments with
CHRIS SHIDELER People over the age of 60 make up a large part of the traveling community. This age group is more susceptible to medical problems while traveling and do well to adhere to preventative measures like: wearing support stockings on long-distance flights; keeping up hydration; washing hands often; using disposable tissues and even using face masks in crowded situations and insect repellents when called for. Stem cells are unique cells in the body that have the ability to change into other types of cells. They could be used to repair spinal cord injuries, repair damaged hearts and even help Alzheimer’s patients. It was found recently that stem cells remain alive up to two weeks after death. Donation of organs is common and in the future, stem cell donation could also be an option. It’s always a concern whether the pollution we put into our air is causing health problems. The World Health Organization recently added diesel fumes to the list of chemicals that cause cancer. Diesel fumes were formerly listed as “probably” cause of cancer. It now has been reclassified to have “definite links with cancer”. Muscle cramps could be caused by an electrolyte imbalance which is easily confirmed by a blood test. If that’s not the problem, try leg stretches before bedtime and keep alcohol and caffeine consumption to a minimum because they can cause dehydration which can make cramps more likely to happen.

ROLLING INTO A NEW ERA
GRAEME CORBETT/MORNING STAR
Work crews put the finishing touches on the new Kal Tire corporate office on Kalamalka Lake Road. Staff started moving into the 85,000 square-foot structure over the weekend.

Winter calls for innovation GRAEME CORBETT Business Editor
GRAEME CORBETT/MORNING STAR
John Winter, president of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, addresses the crowd at the Greater Vernon chamber’s recent AGM at the Best Western Vernon Lodge.
Times are a changing and B.C. Chamber of Commerce president John Winter is urging the business community to keep up. As the guest speaker at last week’s Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce AGM, Winter addressed the crowd at the Best Western Vernon Lodge on the economic, social and political shifts that are happening across the province. He pointed to an aging demographic that is heading towards some hard economic realities, and highlighted the need for better education, health care and infrastructure to preserve British Columbians’ quality of life. “There are some common issues and trends emerging, and clearly we are struggling to deal with them, as are our governments,” said Winter. “We have a culture of debate and decision-making here in British Columbia that is increasingly out of step with global realities.” However, Winter doesn’t believe taxation is the solution to declining social needs and services. “Raising taxes while expecting economic growth is not only realistic, it’s just plain dumb. You can’t tax your way to prosperity.” Instead, Winter proposed an initiative he refers to as the B.C. agenda for shared prosperity, something the B.C. chamber and the Business Council of B.C. are currently launching. Through the agenda, Winter hopes to create
an open dialogue among the business community, governments and other stakeholders to create a “competitive, innovative, knowledge-driven economy.” He said B.C.’s institutions and political culture tend to focus on differences of opinion, which results in a divisive atmosphere. He wants to swap that attitude for a more collaborative one. Winter discussed the agenda’s five steps, the first being an understanding of the connections between economic and personal prosperity. It also calls for the formation of an advisory council to communicate ideas from agenda; a link between community health and well being and the corporate and economic success; generation of actionable ideas to enhance B.C.’s economic strength; and a challenge to the current way of thinking that results in more positive decisions and policies. “We need to change the way we make decisions around here. We need to create a welcoming and enthusiastic ‘Yes we can’ culture,” said Winter. Before concluding, Winter unleashed a few parting shots at B.C.’s carbon tax. With rising electricity costs, a high Canadian dollar and a “thickening of Canada-U.S. border,” he said B.C. industry already faces considerable competitive challenges. “While it’s appropriate that B.C. do its part (for greenhouse gas emissions)...it doesn’t make any sense to institute policies that impose excessive or needless costs on our citizens or disadvantage our entrepreneurs in a competitive contest.”

Predator range gets overhaul Morning Star Staff
Practice makes perfect. At least, that is what Predator Ridge Resort is hoping. Under the watchful eye of golf designer Doug Carrick, the man behind the Ridge Course, Predator’s practice range is getting an overhaul. The new practice area will reopen in May with a 20,000-square-foot putting green, three times as much bent grass for practicing your long game, and additional targets to fire at. “It is about taking it all to the next level,” said Rod Cochrane, general manager. “It is the pervasive attitude in everything we do at Predator. We wanted the practice facility to be as spectacular as the courses.” As part of the change, Carrick will expand the bent-grass hitting area from 18 yards to 45, more than doubling its capacity. Cochrane says that those buying homes and joining the golf courses as members will improve their game with the new practice facility. “We want our players to be able to hit off great
grass surfaces 99 per cent of the time they are at Predator,” said Cochrane. “That’s our expectation.” Cochrane says the new practice area will also be a benefit to the resort’s teachers, including lead instructor Mike Soergel, former LPGA pro AJ Eathorne and former PGA Tour winner Richard Zokol, who joined Predator earlier this year as executive director, golf development. Cochrane says the Swing Like a Girl lesson program, led by Eathorne, and aimed at aspiring female players, has been a huge hit. “It is a brand that is related specifically to AJ and we’re delighted to have it here,” said Cochrane. “AJ is remarkable – as soon as you meet her you feel like you’ve known her all your life. “We want our practice and teaching areas to be as impactful as everything else at the resort. It should complement the experience.” 3108 - 33rd Street, Vernon

It’s all downhill for passengers at the Hell’s Gate Airtram. The attraction provides a spectacular view of the Fraser River gorge.
A drop-dead gorgeous trip JANE CASSIE Special To The Morning Star
B.C. - We’ve driven the Fraser Canyon so many times over the last three years, I could do it with my eyes closed. Usually we zip through in an effort to get to our lakeshore sanctuary, but on this warm sunny day, we take time for stops and exploration. In the process, we discover that this beautiful byway is a destination, in itself. Hope is a mountainenshrouded enclave that any woodsman would love. In 1808, Simon Fraser passed through this area in search of a waterway to the coast. Forty years later, the
Hudson’s Bay Company set up a fur trading fort. More recently, it’s been named the chainsaw carving capital of Canada. Eagles, grizzlies, wolves and bobcats are just a few of the chiseled images that are poised in park areas. Historical tales weave a fine yarn when we check out the next two-bit town of Yale. It’s hard to believe that this sleepy hollow was once the largest city west of Chicago and north of San Fran. When the miners hollered out, “There’s gold in them thar hills,” they must have all come running. Twenty hotels and 15 saloons
quickly rose from the dusty streets in this first incorporated town on B.C.’s mainland. There are walking tours, gold panning demonstrations and museum memorabilia that share the stories. As well as checking out one of our province’s oldest churches, St. John the Divine Anglican, we read about Andrew Onderdonk, a motivated pioneer who was contracted to get the Canadian Pacific Railway chugging through the canyon. The historical saga continues when we pass through a dot on the map known appropriately as Spuzzum.
Interpreted as ‘Little Flat’ by the natives, it was a toll station in the mid 1800s. At that time, primitive passenger boats were the only way to get across the canyon. As soon as gold rush mania took over, the cruisers were replaced by the Alexandra Bridge and this money maker evolved into the Wagon Road tolling station. We cross to the other side of the canyon and stop at the Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park. After whizzing by the Alexander Lodge, an antique B&B from the gold glory days, our ribbon of highway seems to take flight to higher ground. While

hugging up to the steep mountainside, we bisect evergreen thickets and cleave through tunnels of bedrock. “China Bar, Sailor Bar, Hell’s Gate…” We call out each name in succession and, like a couple of kids, hold our breath while driving through the granite-gouged passageways. The claustrophobic canyon measures 35 metres at the narrowest mark and the river below can run as deep as 50 metres during spring runoff. It comes as no surprise that taking on this aqueduct for Simon Fraser and his men would have been a tad challenging. In order to conquer the feat, they had to string up bark ladders and tackle the torrents on make-shift rafts. After losing a few along the way, they were pretty sure the river resembled the gates of hell, hence the name. Today, getting to the other side of this gulch is a breeze. From our Hell’s Gate Airtram, we’re privy to breathtaking views of both the canyon and the International Fishways. And while making the airborne decent from the highway to the river rock below, just like the rest of this Fraser Canyon journey, our eyes are wide open.

F I J I
We can help with • Arthritis • Headaches/ migraines • Sciatica • Carpal Tunnel • Car Accidents/ Work injuries • Custom Orthotics • Therapeutic Grade Vitamins • Sports Injuries • Pregnancy • Stress Reduction
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You’ll be quite efficient when doing things you like, but not so much with projects or jobs you find distasteful. Regardless of what you do, do it with pride. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Bad feelings could result if you have false expectations of a colleague. Don’t automatically assume that he or she enjoys engaging in something as much as you do. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Small domestic issues could easily be blown out of proportion. Keep this in mind before you find fault with your mate for a lack of enthusiasm regarding a certain matter. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You’re likely to come out better in handling your material affairs if you follow your own counsel instead of listening to the advice of outsiders. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You’ll have to be a bit thick-skinned if you intend to take over a faltering recreational situation and reorganize it. Even though you’ll do what’s right, you may be criticized. ARIES (March 21-April 19) The consequences of your acts could adversely affect others if you’re not careful, even if your intentions are good. Consider what you’re about to do before you take action. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Even if it normally takes a lot for you to show any anger, be extra sure you have control over your
temper at all times. Once your ire’s released, it’ll be quite difficult to rein in. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Watch out for the little things that bug you to the point of distraction. Conversely, if you have to deal with something serious, you’ll handle it well. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Don’t do anything that you know from experience is apt to cause you or someone else a problem. If you choose to ignore your good judgment, you’ll hate yourself down the line. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) There is a good chance that you’ll be inclined to strive for something that you know is beyond your capabilities. Set realistic goals; it’s foolish to spin your wheels on the unattainable. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If a forceful and domineering friend tries to involve you in something that you really don’t want to participate in, resist coercion. Stand up for your rights.
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.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder IF HE KEEPS CONTROL, MOVE ELSEWHERE Richard Nixon said, “I don’t think that a leader can control, to any great extent, his destiny. Very seldom can he step in and change the situation if the forces of history are running in another direction.” At the bridge table, the opening leader sometimes can control the destiny of his side. Occasionally, though, he needs help from his partner. In today’s deal, which is the same as yesterday’s, how can EastWest defeat four spades after West leads the heart ace? In the modern game, jump raises in competitive auctions are pre-emptive.
With a good hand, one cue-bids the opponent’s suit: a cue-bid raise. Yesterday, we saw that if West continues with the heart king at trick two, South makes his contract by discarding from his hand. Then he can ruff a third heart on the board. Or he can take a shift and play four rounds of spades, removing the defenders’ trumps while retaining one in his hand to ruff another heart. South takes four spades, one diamond and five clubs. However, at trick one, East should signal with the heart 10, the unnecessarily high card announcing the queen, the card that touches the two promised by West’s lead. Then, at
trick two, West should lead a low heart. If South ruffs, he loses control. And if he discards a diamond, East shifts to the diamond 10. Whether or not South finesses, he loses two hearts, one diamond and one spade. Do not forget the trickone attitude signal.

Janke, Elli (nee Radatz)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Elli Janke at the age of 72 years. Elli passed away in her home with family at her side on September 24, 2012. Elli, who was our matriarch, our foundation, our love, will be forever missed by her husband, Helmut, and her three sons, Derek (Dawn), Robert (Erica) and Paul (Danielle). Elli was the most gracious grandmother to Devin, Karmen, Landon and Adison. She will be lovingly remembered by her niece, Tanya and nephew, Tristan and their families. She was also cherished by extended family in Germany and the many friends she touched. Elli was born in Helenowo, Poland on March 14, 1940 to German farming parents. She emigrated from Germany to Canada in 1963 and later married the love of her life, Helmut in 1967. They had their first son, Derek, in 1969 and Robert in 1972 and then moved to Vernon where they welcomed Paul in 1975. Elli wanted her sons to have great education and was always very proud and supportive. She was involved in the Youth Soccer council while her boys were young and remained a dedicated soccer mom-grandmother throughout her life. Elli loved a good soccer match. Elli began practising Tai Chi in 1981, belonging to a core group who brought Tai Chi to Vernon. She very quickly became a committed instructor who loved helping others learn for almost 30 years. Elli also enjoyed being in the kitchen cooking healthful meals for her family and friends. Her table was always beautifully decorated with her flowers from the garden, her roses being her favorite. Elli was both student and teacher throughout her life. She very eagerly studied numerous alternative teachings, healings and everything natural and organic, and then very graciously shared her knowledge and wisdom with others. She was always the most generous, thoughtful and supportive person to her family and friends but also to anyone who was in need. In more recent years, Elli was the most devoted grandmother (Oma or Omi), which brought her such joy. She loved getting in her little red car, driving the kids to their activities and taking them anywhere they wanted to go. She made sure that each of them knew how special they were during their many outings and weekend sleepovers. They are incredibly blessed to have had her. “Dear wife, mom, Oma and friend - WE say Goodbye now so that we may say hello later.” Elli’s family would like to thank the many people who came to visit her, hold her hand, laugh with her and pray for her during her battle. In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests donations to the Canadian Cancer Society, The Centre for Awakening Spiritual Growth OR the Taoist Tai Chi Society. A celebration of Elli’s life will be held on Sunday, October 14th at 1:00 at the Tai Chi Centre, 3105-28th Street.

No Charge - Light Lunch
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Julia Zimmerman (nee Reese). Julia passed away peacefully, hours before her 74th birthday, at the Marion Hospice in Vancouver. She is survived by her 6 children and 10 grandchildren. Julia spent her childhood packed into a modest home in the English midlands along with her parents and 8 siblings. She Įnally got a chance for a liƩle more space and independence when she was 18. She travelled to Canada to meet her Įancee who had gone ahead to Montreal. Jules, who loved to dance, had such a good Ɵme on the ship, she broke oī her engagement when she arrived. She then moved to Vancouver where she would meet her husband and the father of her children (the late Sunny Zimmerman). In 1967 the family moved to Vernon and Jules would call this home for the next 25 years. Her deĮning moments (hours) perhaps came between 1960 and 1970 when she produced her own liƩle “Brady Bunch”. Over the ensuing years she became a breast feeding, diaper changing, meal making machine. She also found Ɵme for tennis, skiing and working at various retail outlets. Jules returned to Vancouver in the early 1990’s where she conƟnued to be a unique, independent, energeƟc individual for the rest of her life taking her illness and the accompanying brain surgery in stride. Even while in hospital and with her energy fading she was quick with a laugh, a liƩle jig and a thumbs up for her kids and grandkids. The family would like to thank the staī and Doctors at the hospice and at VGH for the care she received. A CelebraƟon of Life is being held for family and friends - Oct 20th, 4pm - Penthouse at the Watermark Resort - 15 Park Place- Osoyoos.
