Shrine welcomes sports legends ROGER KNOX

Morning Star Staff

Ken Holland thought his first NHL game would also be his last one. He was given a start in goal for the Hartford Whalers at Madison Square Garden against the New York Rangers in the 1980-81 season. Holland gave up one goal on 15 shots in the first period of what would be a 7-3 loss to the Rangers, then gave up five goals on 21 shots in the second period. “I remembered thinking to really enjoy the third period because it was going to be my last one,” joked Holland, one of six inducted Friday into the Class of 2012 of the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame. “Then (Rangers forward) Nick Fotiu took a shot that went over the crossbar and broke the glass, and I thought, ‘well, good, that will extend my time in the NHL about another 10 minutes.’” Holland, who turns 57 next week, did play three more games in the NHL before, at age 29, he was hired as a scout by the Detroit Red Wings. He has since become one of the NHL’s top executives. As general manager, Holland has guided the Red Wings to four Stanley Cups and was part of the Team Canada executive that won Olympic gold in Vancouver in 2010. Holland was enshrined before

a near capacity crowd of 160 at a luncheon ceremony at the Schubert Centre in the builders category, along with longtime family friend Keith Brewis, the founder of the Vernon Kokanee Swim Club. Inducted in the athletes category were two Vernon hockey players, both with ties to the Red Wings. Brent Gilchrist and Ed Johnstone played parts of their long NHL careers in Hockeytown. Also inducted in the athletes category was golfer Jackie Little. Enshrined in the team category was the 2000 Brad Kuhn curling rink which won the B.C., Canadian and World Junior Mens championships. For Holland, a chance to return to his hometown to say thanks to the people who helped him along the way in his professional sports journey is special. “This (Vernon) is where I was born and raised and this is where I’m going to retire,” said Holland, who attended the ceremony with his mom, Lee, and nephew Jake Holland. “To go in with this class of people, for me – Keith Brewis was one of my dad’s best friends – is truly an honour.” Brewis called his induction one of the greatest days of his life, but said he “couldn’t have done it” (start the Kokanee Swim Club) without a lot of help. “I couldn’t have done it without

Keynote speaker and inductee Ken Holland, Detroit Red Wings general manager, addresses the crowd at the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame induction luncheon Friday at the Schubert Centre. the support of my family because swimming is a suppertime sport, that’s when practices were,” said Brewis, 80. “I couldn’t have done it without Gerry Goudge of the recreation centre; without the parents who brought the kids to the pool. And I couldn’t have done it without all of the assistant coaches.” Johnstone guided the Rangers to the 1979 Stanley Cup final and was elected to play in the NHL allstar game in 1981. He twice led the Rangers in scoring. After his career, he returned to Vernon where he guided the Vernon Lakers to back-back-Centennial Cup wins in 1990 and 1991 as head coach, and three straight Centennial Cup appearances (lost semifinals in 1992). It was one of his coaches in Vernon, Odie Lowe, that Johnstone thanked in his speech. “Halfway through my second season with the Essos, I gotta call from Medicine Hat (Tigers) and I didn’t want to go. I was the first guy cut from their training camp two years in a row and didn’t know why,” said Johnstone, 58. “Odie pulled me

aside and said, ‘if you’re going to pursue this you need to get out of here. When you get there, pursue your dreams. And I did.” Gilchrist spent his NHL career with the Montreal Canadiens, Edmonton Oilers, Dallas Stars, the Red Wings, and the Nashville Predators, highlighted by winning the Cup with Detroit in 1998. “Eddie taught me in hockey school and back then there wasn’t anybody walking around the community that was an NHL player to look up to, so that was a great deal to me,” said Gilchrist, 45. “I looked up to Ken later in my career because he employed me. His reputation as a general manager in the NHL is fantastic.” Detroit Red Wings owners Mike and Marian Ilitch donated $5,000 to the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame on behalf of Holland, Johnstone and Gilchrist, and Tammy Stein, wife of current Detroit scout Marty Stein, donated the $280 she won in the 50/50 draw to the Hall. Little, who now lives in Port Alberni where she and her husband, Pat, run a golf course, enters the

Hall having won 17 individual international, Canadian and provincial golf championships, many of which came when she was a member of the Vernon Golf Club. “Today is very exciting and I’m very honoured, especially to be part of this group,” said Little, who was accompanied by Pat to the ceremony. “It’s great to see some old friends who came out to show their support today.” Kuhn was joined by his 2000 teammates, brother Ryan, lead Hugh Bennett of Salmon Arm and coach Jock Tyre of Kelowna. Kevin Folk and Jeff Richard were unable to attend. “Today was an excellent chance to see Hugh because we don’t get to see him a lot anymore, and so many great memories came back today from that year,” said Brad Kuhn. “We had a lot of fun.” Each inductee received a special plaque from the Hall of Fame, designed and created by Vernon’s Blair Peden. The Funtastic Sports Society was a presenting sponsor of Friday’s luncheon.

Centre looks to the future with campaign richard rolke Morning Star Staff

The Whitevalley Community Resource Centre has deep roots, and now it’s turning to the public so it can branch out and flourish for years to come. A donor tree plaque was unveiled Thursday to kick off WCRC’s Legacy Fund campaign, which hopes to raise $800,000 over five years. “It’s a new direction for our fundraising efforts,” said Paul Fisher, campaign cochairperson. The principle will remain in an endowment fund and the interest generated each year will help cover operational expenses. The goal is to provide the non-profit agency with financial stability so it can continue to provide services to Lumby and Cherryville residents. “We touch an amazing number of lives,” said Joanne Kineshanko,. campaign cochairperson. In 2011, WCRC, which started in 1989, received 12,000 calls and in-person visits. Among the services offered are counselling for adults and families, addictions counselling, after-school activities, Kid’s Zone in Cherryville, summer day camps, toddler programs, cooking classes for those on a budget, seniors drop-in, health information for seniors, Good Food Box and Internet access. “The need for social services and programs will always be there,” said Kineshanko. Funding has become a recent challenge for WCRC because government grants are uncertain. It came close to shutting its doors a few years ago. “If we can stabilize day-to-day operations, we can be more responsive to the community,” said Gay Jewitt, long-time executive director.

richard rolke/morning star

Geoff Bevan places his name on the legacy tree at the Whitevalley Community Resource Centre in Lumby Thursday. A former summer employee with WCRC, Bevan has donated $500 to the Legacy Fund campaign. Among the first to support the campaign is Geoff Bevan, who worked at WCRC’s summer camps as a teen. “I know the programs are very much needed in the community,” said Bevan, who donated $500 and was able to get it matched by Telus, his employer. “The need is huge. What they provide is

important.” With the campaign underway, a team of volunteers will be approaching residents, service clubs and businesses throughout the North Okanagan. Jewitt admits financial conditions are tight for many residents and businesses, but she is confident the campaign will be a

Guilty pleas issued in drug smuggling case RoGeR Knox Morning Star Staff

Two North Okanagan men involved in a major cross-border drug smuggling operation have entered guilty pleas in Saskatchewan. Brock Ernest Palfrey, 25, of Silver Star, pleaded guilty to seven counts in the Court of Queen’s Bench in Swift Current Wednesday, while Coldstream’s Troy Ernest Swanson, 26, pleaded guilty to two counts.

Palfrey pleaded guilty to three counts of trafficking in a controlled substance, one count of conspiring to traffic in a controlled substance, one count of instructing commission of an offence for a criminal organization, and two counts of failing to comply with conditions. Swanson entered guilty pleas on counts of unlawfully importing cocaine into Canada and possession for the purpose of trafficking. The pair are slated to be sentenced Nov. 30.

Palfrey and Swanson were arrested in October 2011. Police in Regina said at the time that 367 kilograms of cocaine was seized as a result of their investigation, which began in 2010, representing the largest seizure ever by the Regina Integrated Drug Unit in the province of Saskatchewan. Also seized as part of this investigation was $340,000 in Canadian currency as well as three all-terrain vehicles, two pickup trucks, one mini-van and firearms.

success. “I know of someone who will give $100 a year over five years,” she said. “The community is on board and people know the good work that we do.” For more information to the campaign or to donate, call 250-547-8866 or go to www. whitevalley.ca.

Food bank response defended by Foster richard rolke Morning Star Staff

The B.C. government’s track record is being defended although food bank use is climbing. The NDP is blasting the Liberals after a new report indicated food bank demand in B.C. is increasing twice as fast as the national Eric Foster average. “We take the problem very seriously,” said Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA, of his government. “Minimum wage is up and we have created more jobs than anywhere else in the country. If we can get people to work, that makes the difference.” Beyond wages, Foster says the primary challenge for many people is the cost of housing and his gov-

ernment is taking positive steps to address the issue. “We’re making progress. In Vernon, during the last two street counts, there are zero homeless camps,” he said. “We have partnered up with community organizations and that’s making a difference.” Statistics from Food Banks Canada show that food bank use in B.C. increased by 6.6 per cent – more than double the rise of 2.4 per cent across Canada. It also states that 11.4 per cent – or more than one in 10 British Columbians – who accessed services at B.C. food banks between 2011 and 2012 were employed. “This is not a simple issue that can be fixed with band aid solutions. British Columbians deserve solutions to the problems they face today, and the Liberal government has refused to take the problem seriously,” said Carole James, NDP social development critic.

Intruder found in residence Morning Star Staff

Vernon RCMP helped put an end to a frightening incident for a young couple. Shortly before 7 p.m. Thursday, the Vernon detachment received a phone call from a 21-year-old man who advised police that he and his girlfriend were calling from the street outside their home in the 5000 block of 27th Avenue because a man had broken into the home, and could still be seen inside the residence.

“Our officers arrived and they could see a man through one of the windows peering out at them,” said Gord Molendyk, spokesperson for the RCMP. The officers entered the home and confronted the suspect, who was arrested without incident. The 51-year-old suspect is expected to face charges of break-and-enter and uttering threats. “The suspect is well known to our officers,” said Molendyk.

Traffic stop leads to drug seizure Morning Star Staff

A large quantity of drugs has been seized in Vernon. On Thursday at about 10:15 p.m., an RCMP officer checked a white Mazda pickup on 24th Avenue, near 43rd Street. “While our officer was speaking to the female driver, he noticed the smell of marijuana inside the vehicle,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “The driver and passenger — Molendyk were detained for possession of a controlled substance. A search of the male passenger located a set of brass knuckles in one of his pockets.” Officers continued to search the vehicle and they located eight grams of dried marijuana in a plastic bag and cell phones. “A closer search of the suspect located a large plastic bag containing other smaller plastic bags with a white substance,” said Molendyk. “The plastic bag contained 94 individual baggies. Seventeen of these smaller baggies are suspected of being powdered cocaine.” Sixty-one of the bags contained 0.25 grams each of a white rock-like substance suspected to be crack cocaine. Another 16 of these smaller

A 19-year-old man was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital Thursday night after being struck in an Armstrong crosswalk. The incident occurred at 6:20 p.m. when the man was hit by a 1999 Pontiac Firefly while in a crosswalk at the intersection of Wood Avenue and Adair Street. “A bus driver told police that after dropping off the young man on Adair Street, he saw him being struck,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Witnesses saw that the victim was already halfway into the crosswalk when he was hit by the car.” Indications are that the pedestrian entered the crosswalk without ensuring that no vehicles were coming. Molendyk said the 60-year-old Armstrong driver of the Firefly told police he first saw the victim when he landed on top of his hood. The 19-year-old man sustained injuries to his left wrist and right temple. He was taken to VJH for treatment of a possible concussion and received stitches to the wrist. The incident remains under police investigation.

A Vernon man entered a guilty plea in connection with a bomb threat incident at the Lake City Casino in September. Barry Baldwin, 51, pleaded guilty to one count of uttering threats. He was given a conditional discharge, placed on eight months probation and ordered to pay a $50 victim surcharge. A bomb threat was received at the casino shortly after 11 a.m. Sept. 6 which forced the immediate evacuation of casino patrons and staff. Other adjacent businesses were also emptied as emergency officials tried to determine the validity of the threat. About 100 to 150 people were evacuated from all buildings and they were told to gather near Superstore, while access to Anderson Way was limited. The incident began when an individual apparently entered the casino. Police said he went

Wake up, it’s November

t’s not like we haven’t seen it coming. November that is. But somehow it still seems like a shock to the system. Maybe it was the long, warm, sunny autumn that lasted well into October that caused one to think, for some reason, that maybe winter wouldn’t come this one time. But, alas, the cooler weather came, the snow arrived on the hills (a happy sign for some) and it got dark in the morning when we got up, and after today, when we get home from work too. Glenn Mitchell In fact one could blame the fact that they pushed back the end of Daylight Savings Time until after Halloween and into November for us not being ready for winter. The past two weeks I’ve been groping through the dark in the morning to get to the bathroom, cursing the guys who said we should extend DST to November to save money on lights in the evening. Right. Well what about the lights you need in the a.m.? Doesn’t that negate the ones you don’t need in the p.m.? And if I break my leg going to the bathroom in the a.m. in the dark, I guess I would have more time in the p.m. to read books by daylight while I’m off from work, but I don’t think that’s what they had in mind. I’m not a rocket scientist but it seems like the tradeoff isn’t totally rational. But then it’s humans that came up with the plan so it’s bound to have some built-in irony as we attempt to improve on Mother Nature. Speaking of Mother Nature, it was wild watching hurricane Sandy hit the Eastern

MitChEll’S MuSingS

Seaboard Monday night. My kids watched it with me and were convinced the world was ending, well not really because they think it’s ending on Dec. 21 like the Mayan calendar apparently predicts but then how come the Mayans couldn’t predict their own demise, and when I bring up the fact that I guess I don’t have to worry about Christmas presents then this year they back off a little. Still, it was surreal yet too real, scary but also inspiring with how people dealt with it, and a lesson for all that Mother Nature has little respect for what we like to call civilization. Closer to home the earthquake at Haida Gwaii also served as a huge wake-up call. In these days when we think technology and a modern way of life that produces a bunch of stuff puts us in control of our own destiny, well, nope. We’re at the mercy of the elements whether we like it or not. We can prepare better than ever, we can predict better than ever and maybe we can even minimize anticipated damage better than ever, but if the conditions that created the earthquake and the hurricane happen again, and they will, we’re scrambling for cover like our ancient ancestors. Conspiracy theories are born when we can’t handle difficult realities, including our own eventual demise, but more often than not it’s just that stuff happens. And how we deal with it is much more telling than what actually happened to us. The Big Apple will bounce back and Haida Gwaii likely already has. And I, like all of us, should get an emergency kit together, because you never know when a disaster, despite any predictions to the contrary, is going to happen.

North Okanagan residents go about their daily lives expecting that the services they need will always be there. There is little consideration that many of the programs we take for granted are provided by non-profit agencies. Government assistance is extremely limited, if not non-existent, and these groups are left operating with shoe-string budgets. Case in point is the Whitevalley Community Resource Centre, which has served Lumby, Cherryville and surrounding area since 1989. It offers everything from toddler programs and counselling for adults and children to keeping in regular contact with seniors and showing people how to stretch their dollars by cooking healthy. And the demand for these services is growing. In 2011, there were 12,000 phone calls and inperson visits. But providing these services costs money, and a lack of help from Victoria meant WCRC almost closed permanently a few years ago. That would have been devastating for those residents who depend on these services. In fact, the entire community would have been set back as a strong social base positively impacts issues like crime, poverty and unemployment. The WCRC has taken a big step by launching an $800,000 fundraiser over five years. The principle will go into an endowment and the interest generated every year will cover operations so these much-needed services can continue. The key goal is to provide longterm stability. We would encourage everyone in Lumby and Cherryville, and the entire North Okanagan, to get behind this worthwhile endeavour. It’s only through coming together that our community can move ahead.

Transit made less accessible

have been taking public transit from Lumby to Vernon since the beginning of August for a 12-week employment course and self-esteem course at Independent Living Vernon. Even though the course does not start until 10 a.m., I have to get on the bus at 6:30 a.m. because B.C. Transit does not have another bus that will get me there on time for my course. The next bus leaves at 11:15 a.m. It is a very long day for me and with cerebral palsey, my feet get tired and sore quite easily. Therefore, I take my bike as my transportation throughout the day so I can access lunch and other amenities when I am in Vernon. Recently, I went to hop on the bus as usual at 6:30 a.m. and was refused by the bus driver. The bus driver stated that my bike was not welcome on the bus because of a policy that states no bikes are allowed due to reduced visibility when it is dark outside and headunited way Further to the reported scam that was committed in the North Okanagan in the name of United Way. I would like to offer a few words of clarification. We sincerely regret that these individuals took advantage of some generous donors who were fraudulently led to believe that the door-to-door campaign was a legitimate fundraising activity for our United Way. This United Way has been supporting our region for more than 50 years, and is currently funding 28 community partners. We do not canvass door-todoor and strive to offer secure methods for our donors to support us. These safe options include pledges at your workplace, a cheque in the mail, online at www. unitedwaynocs.com or by calling our office to give by credit card. The people who have been scammed will eventually, after an investigation, be reimbursed by their banks as this is definitely a case of fraud. It does, however, cause them stress and hardship in the meantime. United Way is not held liable for these funds. Sadly, it’s our reputation that is the other victim in this crime. Thank you for all of the con-

cern and well wishes that have been expressed and we mirror these thoughts to those individuals who have been harmed by this fraudulent act. Linda yule, executive director, united way fire haLL staffing I think that a small but important distinction should be noted regarding the Vernon Fire Rescue staffing problem. Vernon Fire Rescue has been presented with this staffing problem by the city not renewing the contract with the Okanagan Landing Volunteer Firefighters Association. Therefore, it follows that the staffing problem is not a result of any of the Landing firefighters resigning or retiring from their position. It is a matter of the city assigning that hall to a different volunteer firefighting association. The city’s fire rescue staffing plan is to hope that, after treating the Landing volunteers in a very shabby and disrespectful fashion, and after broadcasting suggestions that the Landing firefighters are, in some manner, inadequately trained, these same volunteers should overlook the city’s incompetence in the realm of human

lights are needed. So my options were miss the course or bike all of the way into Vernon from Lumby. I decided that I had ventured this far so I might as well cycle into Vernon even though I knew that I would be exhausted, frustrated and have difficulty concentrating on the course. I got as far as the Shell station in Lavington and was wet (it had been raining), dirty, cold and exhausted. Luckily, I got a ride from someone the rest of the way or I would of had to give up and go back home. It is interesting to me that the City of Vernon tries to encourage the use of bicycles and B.C. transit tries to encourage ridership. Yet, this policy is discouraging people to take transit six months out of the year. Taking the bus from Lumby to Vernon is even less accessible than I first thought. Quintten meints Relations and join the Vernon volunteer firefighters anyway. This is a problem of the city’s making that was entirely foreseeable and therefore preventable. The city created a new fire rescue command structure to solve a fake problem. John stubbs treatment faciLity This is a response to the letters from Judy Shirley and Dave Bosomworth. How nice to spread rainbows, sunshine and roses in one breath and then lay guilt at the feet of frightened seniors and concerned parents about having addicts housed right in the middle of their neighbourhood. Not in my backyard? You bet. If either or both of these supporters happen to live within a two-block radius of this residence, well good on you for being so hospitable. If you don't live here, maybe you should see if you can find a place close to you in your neighbourhood, so you can extend a hand to these people personally. It would be interesting to see how that washes out with your neighbours. As for city council, shame on you for allowing this to transpire.

I thought you were elected to listen to your citizens and protect us. I guess we will have to rely on an overworked police force, which usually shows up after something has happened. As for our neighbourhood, look up how council voted on this matter and remember that for the next election. Brian Litzenberger mp's priorities I am trying to fathom the logic and priorities of our elected MP, Colin Mayes. On the one hand, he chooses to stay aloof, on the sidelines, while his riding residents who live in Falkland are long-distance punted south, touching down in Princeton's (different riding) end zone. He explains his apathy by saying it is a public process, not a political one. Simultaneously, our MP composes a lengthy column in The Morning Star about the dangers of obesity. Colin, when did obesity become a political process, rather than a public one? How should voters understand this pattern of behaviour? Is the Okanagan-Shuswap experiencing dynamic leadership, or safe, low-

profile, political followership? The people in Falkland deserve better. I'm sure quite a few even voted for Mr. Mayes to represent them in Ottawa, right Colin? So why fumble the ball out of bounds when the chips are down? Jerry reitman

it often goes untreated. As Barbara Adler, Proud Animal lead, explains, the ignorance around the disease makes people uncomfortable and lessens the chance that they might spot a symptom in a friend or family member and urge them to get help. “We all know someone with diabetes,” said Adler. “But no one makes fun of or thinks any less of people with diabetes.” Despite the fact that diabetes appears to be a more widely accepted disease, psychosis is actually six times more common than diabetes.

An illness that is most commonly seen in teens and young adults is becoming more commonly discussed at schools across B.C., including in Vernon. Through the B.C. Schizophrenia Society, a Vancouver-based band called Proud Animal is reaching out to youth about psychosis. The band brought its ReachOut Psychosis concert tour to town Tuesday and Wednesday, playing at local secondary schools as well as the Talkin’ Donkey. Through the music, interspersed with psychosis information, the tour is helping youth to spot and stop psychosis by seeking medical attention. Presenting itself most commonly as schizophrenia, bi-polar and depression, psychosis is a mental illness that predominantly shows up between the ages of 15 and 25. “Three per cent of the population could potentially experience this,” said Proud Animal keyboard player Mike Young, who experienced psychosis as a teen. “I thought people were watching me all of the time,” said Young of the delusions and paranoia that can be common with the illness (along with hallucinations and confusion). “I thought people were following me.” Unfortunately, few people are aware of the warning signs and symptoms associated with illness, therefore

Youth urged to ReachOut Continued from A11 Psychosis presents itself with signs such as trouble concentrating, reduced motivation, depressed mood, sleep problems, anxiety, withdrawal, suspiciousness, difficulties completing tasks and irritability. There are two factors that are key in psychosis, genetic vulnerability and environmental stressors. Environmental stressors can include school, relationships and work but are more commonly major traumas such as abuse and death of a loved one. Clarence Fulton student Krystal Burke got a feel for the impact of environmental stressors adding up during the ReachOut tour at her school.

Burke was presented with a seemingly simple task, telling the school about her day. But with a group of peers crowding her and acting as environmental stressors, she discovered how easily distracted, potentially irritated and confused such a task can become. “It was really hard to concentrate,” said Burke. “I was really frazzled, like ‘what’s going on.’” While genetic vulnerability and some environmental stressors can’t be avoided, when it comes to mental illness there are some life choices that can help reduce the chances of developing psychosis. “If you smoke pot regularly it can actually increase your chances of psychosis by 40 per cent,” said Proud Animal guitarist/vocalist Gavin Youngash.

Environmental trust formed Morning Star Staff

The Lake Country Environmental Society is dissolving, but its legacy continues. In a memorandum of understanding the Lake Country Environmental Society agreed to transfer its remaining $4,259 to the District of Lake Country. It will be held in trust and used for projects that protect, remediate or enhance the environment in the area. “The society has been a positive force in the community for more than 20 years,” said Stan Brynjolfson, L ake C ountr y Environmental Society president. “But sadly, our membership has declined in numbers and advanced in years to the point where it is no longer possible to continue. We hope that with the creation of the legacy fund, we can continue to positively affect the local environment.” The district has agreed to explore the possibility of enhancing the legacy fund to include donations from the public, estates or other potential donors to help augment the program and keep it sustainable. The society was a driving force in recycling efforts in Lake Country and helped to facilitate the regional program for automated garbage, recyclable and yard waste collection.

“The society has been a positive force.”

The society has also been actively involved with schools in establishing environmental clubs and projects like tree planting, clean-up days and storm drain marking. It also assisted the Oceola Fish and Game Club in frequent cleanups of Middle Vernon Creek; “We have appreciated the efforts of the society in working with the district on the development of a sensitive ecosystem inven-

tory, mapping of environmentally-sensitive areas and consulting on the official community plan, to name just a few things they’ve been involved with,” said Steve Schaffrick, Lake Country’s director of community and customer services. “The recent installation of an osprey nest platform at the northeast corner of Wood Lake was another project funded by the Lake Country Environmental Society.”

The coffee, which comes courtesy of Tim Hortons, will be enjoyed by Paulette and Brent Holomis after Paulette entered and won the Tims Tour online photo contest. The winning photo shows the couple overlooking the lake with a stack of to-go Tim Hortons coffees cups in their midst. “My husband and I enjoyed a Tim Hortons coffee every day for the four-and-a-half years it took to build our dream home,” said Paulette. “When it was finally finished, we took a photo on our deck overlooking Okanagan Lake in Vernon with our go-to coffee. It was a coincidence that this contest ran a few weeks later and we are thrilled to have won for something that was so meaningful to us.” The contest, which runs until Nov. 23, is an online photo-sharing contest giving coffee lovers a chance to win free coffee for a year or the grand prize of a $5,000 trip. To enter, Canadians are asked to share a photo graph of themselves with their cup of Tim Hortons coffee in a setting that is distinctive to their hometown. Twenty-one regional entires will win free coffee for a year and there will also be a random draw for all eligible entries for the grand prize. “We’re very fortunate that our guests often share photos of themselves enjoying their favourite Tim Hortons coffee in some really incredible and unique locations. We decided to have some fun and reward them for their efforts,” said Dave McKay, vice-president of beverages at Tim Hortons. “Through the Tims Tour photo contest, it has been amazing to see the beauty of much of North America through the shared connection of our coffee drinkers.” For more details on the contest, visit www. everycup.ca/TimsTour

TJ’s OT snipe drives Vipers KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

With a few high-profile NHL celebrities in the house, TJ Dumonceaux joined the VIP guest list by wiring his signature slapshot for the double overtime winner Friday night. The 18-year-old speedster beat Nanaimo Clippers’ goalie Jayson Argue top shelf with 2:28 left in double OT as the Vernon Vipers edged the Shipmen 4-3 in B.C. Hockey League action before 1,750 fans. Defencemen Ryan Renz and Brett Corkey drew assists on the winner, which came with the teams playing three-on-three. “I was trying to get it on net and saw my other guy coming down the wing so I was just kind of shooting for a rebound but it just kind of worked out,” said Dumonceaux, who made a few sick moves on offence earlier while playing with Mitch Van Teeling and Mitch McAllister on the first line. Dumonceaux, who recorded 18 goals and 50 points with the KIJHL losing finalist Kelowna Chiefs last season, has four goals as a Viper rookie and is feeling more at home with increased responsibility. “It’s good, I really enjoy it here, it’s been a lot of fun so far, a lot better than I expected, actually,” said the Kelowna product. “My billets are great, team’s great, it’s a lot of fun. I’m just trying to move my feet out there and I gain more confidence if I do that. It’s working for me.” Adam Tambellini scored his team-high ninth and 10th goals of the year, while Craig Martin had a single for the Vipers. Tambellini netted carbon-copy powerplay snipes on cross-crease feeds by Jedd Soleway. Argue had no chance as Tambellini showed lightning hands for pro-like finish. “This (two big wins in a row) brings a lot of confidence to our room,” said Tambellini, who was flanked by Logan Mick and Pearce Eviston. “Obviously, we had a five-game slide there where we weren’t playing our system but we’ve been real good in our last two wins, sticking to what we know.” Tambellini said the Vipers’ strategy was to keep getting pucks on Argue in the hopes he would tire and bobble some shots as the scrambly game wore on. Tambellini, a projected mid-rounder

in the 2013 NHL entry draft, is working hard to refine his game. He was cut by Team West Thursday following tryouts in Calgary. “I’m feeling good. The confidence is there. I just gotta bring it for the team every night and take a big offensive role. I played alright (at West camp), but obviously not well enough to crack the team so it was disappointing, but you kind of use that as motivation moving forward with these guys and focus on them.” Luke Gordon of the Clippers and Tambellini swapped firstperiod goals before a listless second period which saw both teams register six shots. Tambellini put Vernon in front before Greg Fraser equalized from a sharp angle. Martin then scored a beauty 10 minutes ROGER KNOX/MORNING STAR later, streaking down the right Vipers’ forward Jedd Soleway crashes into Nanaimo Clippers’ goalie Jayson Argue in BCHL play Friday night at side, cutting hard to the net and the Wesbild Centre.

Tom Pool of the Seaton Sonics (right) gets his head on a free ball against Keegan Lawrence of the Sa-Hali Sabres in the Valley soccer playoffs Friday at Marshall.

The Kalamalka Lakers were one win away from securing a provincial berth going into Saturday afternoon play in the Okanagan Valley Senior AA Boys Soccer League playdowns at Marshall Field. Kal advanced to Saturday’s semifinals knowing that the top three teams advance to the B.C. finals, Nov. 19-21, at the Burnaby Lake Soccer Complex. The Lakers, who won the North Zone title a week ago, opened Friday with a 6-0 victory over the Westsyde Whundas of Kamloops. “We had a great first game against Westsyde, a very rough and dirty team,” said Kal rookie head coach Cari Dyck. ‘We had to step up our physical game and once we matched them, they got very frustrated and we dominated play.” Matt Kreutz and Liam Ross both supplied two snipes for the Lakers, while defender Jan Lynden connected on a scorching 30-yard strike and Nik Mersch also had a single. Kreutz scored once with a sweet left-footed volley after a fabulous feed from defender Joe McArdle. Ross had both his goals assisted by his brother Lucas. The Lakers then bowed 3-1 to the big, tough and rested Okanagan Mission Huskies of Kelowna. The Huskies grabbed a 3-0 lead at the half before the Lakers picked up their play and responded on a beautiful cross from Steven Goebel and header from Liam Ross. “I’m very proud of the boys for battling back and not giving up when they were tired and injured,” said Dyck.

Morning Star Staff

The South Kamloops Titans scored with under five minutes to play to stop the visiting Vernon Panthers 14-10 in Valley Junior Varsity Football League championship action Thursday. The Panthers opened the scoring in the first quarter when a botched play resulted in a safety. After a Kamloops free kick, tailback Levi Nicholas took a handoff and went 62 yards to the end zone. Quarterback John Garvie called his own number and ran in the two-point convert to make it 10-0 Panthers. Kamloops scored late in the second quarter on a 45 yard screen pass. “We had a great start to the game,” said VSS head coach Sean Smith. “Our defence held for most of the first half and we couldn’t punch another one in to give us a bigger cushion. Levi had a great start and ran hard all game.” After a scoreless, hard-hitting third quarter, the Titans took their first lead in the final minutes of the game. An eight-yard touchdown run gave the

Heat fall Morning Star Staff

The UBC Okanagan Heat fell 87-69 to the host Victoria Vikes in women’s university hoops play Friday night. Roslyn Huber led UBCO with 21 points and 11 boards. Emily Kanester (Vernon) had 10 points and was perfect from the line. “We never gave up,” said Kanester. “It never felt like we were out of the game, it just got away from us.”

Titans the lead. Despite getting the ball back twice in the final five minutes, the Panther offence couldn’t sustain a drive to put them ahead. “We had a number of opportunities to win the game but couldn’t make a play when we needed one,” said Smith. “South Kam was a big, strong team that didn’t miss many tackling opportunities. As a result, we were only going to score if we executed perfectly. “While we are disappointed in the loss, the coaches were happy with the improvement the team has made since our first meeting with South Kam (a 36-6 loss). We closed the gap considerably since the last time we played them, but unfortunately came up one play short.” The No. 2 seed Panthers will take on the No. 1 seed from the North Region (Prince George Secondary) in the first round playoffs. Since Vernon doesn’t have an artificial turf field, the game will go in Kamloops Thursday (3 p.m.).

The winds of change are blowing through the Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-operative as two new board members replace long-time members on the board following the recent annual general meeting. At their first meeting Thursday, the board voted to let co-op chief executive officer Gary Schieck go, and hired Alan Tyabji, who was manager of the Okanagan Similkameen Co-operative, which was amalgamated with three other valley tree fruit co-ops in 2008 to form the OTFC. Tyabji had been with the Okanagan Similkameen co-op since December 1985. Schieck served with the Okanagan North Co-op for a couple of decades before taking the post heading up the ne wly-amalgamated organization. He could not be reached for comment. The co-op board also re-elected Cawston grower Rob Dawson as president, and elected Colin Pritchard of Kelowna as vice-president representing the northern growers and Nirmal Dhaliwal of Osoyoos representing growers in the south. Tyabji will also be CEO of B.C. Tree Fruits, which is part of

the OTFC. They are owned by 580 local grower families and sort, pack, market and distribute a variety of B.C. fruits including apples, pears, cherries, apricots, prune plums and blueberries. The head office is in Kelowna.

Sutton Group-Lakefront Realty is gearing up for its second annual Warm and Fuzzy Shelter Collection from Monday to Friday. “Last year, we were able to collect half a cube van loaded with coats, blankets, mittens, hats, scarves and long johns for adults and children,” said Beth Marks, with Sutton. “We delivered these items to Howard House and the Gateway Shelter for distribution in the impending cold weather.” From Monday to Friday — 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. — residents can drop off donations of warm clothing at the Sutton office at 2749 30th St. (across from Journey Inn).

am going to start to buy the Good Food Box this month and see what it is like. Having recently retired and now living on pensions I am facing a whole new money ball game with a greatly reduced income level. One of the first budget items that can be, and needs to be reduced, is the amount of money I spend on food. I generally have a simple diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, a small pat black amount of meat and fish, with three daily whole wheat bread and dairy products. Hardly any processed foods. But as most of you know the cost of fruits and vegetables can take up a big part of our food budget that will only increase as winter approaches and these staples have to be imported. We are very lucky to have a Good Food Box program in the North Okanagan and kudos to the Food Action Society of the North Okanagan who administer this program. The Food Action Society works on food issues “from field to table” focusing on the entire system that puts food

on our tables; from growing, processing and distribution of food to its purchasing, cooking and consumption. They believe that food is vital to the health of individuals and communities, and that access to good, culturally acceptable, healthy food is a basic human right. And the Good Food Box is a good example of one of their activities. It is a volunteer non-profit, bulk produce buying initiative to help families include more fresh fruits and vegetables in their meals at a cost they can afford. The low cost of the Good Food Box is made possible because of group buying. By pooling their money, Good Food Box participants can buy food wholesale and get better prices. Volunteer labour for sorting and packing keeps the prices down. The selection of produce in the box changes according to the season, but basic items such as potatoes, carrots and onions are always included. Items are chosen according to what is good quality, in season and affordable at the time. The Good Food Box buys direct from local farmers when possible. The Good Food Box delivers a basket of fresh fruit and vegetables to a central location monthly. Individuals pay $15 ($9 smaller box is also available in Vernon) by Wednesday the week before distribution day which is always the third Thursday of

the month. The Good Food Box is available in a central location but delivery service is available in Vernon within city limits and the charge is only $3 for one to two boxes for those who are unable to pick it up. Their website shows a sample box could contain potatoes, onions, carrots, romaine lettuce, broccoli, English cucumber, yams, tomatoes, apples, grapes, oranges and all for $15. For people on a fixed income this is a great deal and I estimate I would spend about $34 ordinarily for these same items. Anyhow I will see how it all works and let you know. You can call Diane at 250-306-7800 to order or get more information. If you are a senior and have concerns or complaints or difficulty in resolving health care issues you can now call the Seniors Health Care Support Line, says a press release from the Ministry of Health. Established in June of this year this line offers direct support along with timely follow-up through resolution. This toll-free phone line is available MondayFriday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. by calling 1-877-952-3181. I would be interested in hearing any feed back about results that happen from contacting this service as well.

Taking a look at trendy new ‘super foods’ Rose soneff Special to The Morning Star

“Super food” is a term used to promote certain foods as having additional health benefits beyond basic nutrition. Let’s take a look at three of these “super foods” and the hype surrounding them. Quinoa (pronounced “keen-wah”): Quinoa has become increasingly

popular with the attention surrounding ancient grains. It is a good source of fibre, protein, and minerals and is a popular gluten-free choice that can be included in salads, entrées, and even desserts. Quinoa has a nutty flavour, with a fluffy yet crunchy texture. It comes in a variety of colours including yellow, red, pink, and black. It takes only 15 minutes to cook in boiling water and is a great alternative to other

grains like rice and pasta. Goji Berries (aka Wolfberries): Goji berries are small red fruits that are a common ingredient in traditional Chinese cuisine. They are mildly sweet and sour, and can be incorporated into a variety of dishes, including soups, stews, or desserts. They are usually sold as juice or dried. Goji juice is ready for consumption but dried goji berries need to be cooked. Goji

Goji berries should not replace other foods in your diet. Chia Seeds: Chia seeds, grown and harvested in South America and Mexico, have been touted as a popular “super food.” Some research shows that chia seeds have the potential to support heart and digestive health, thanks to their high fat (as omega-3 fatty acid) and fibre content.

Oleh and Maria Maryniak: married Oct. 30, 1962 in Winnipeg, Man., and celebrating their golden anniversary.

Maryniaks celebrate 50 years

Oleh and Maria met one sunny day in the summer of 1961 while volunteering their first aid services with St. John Ambulance during three days of cultural festivities at the Legislative Grounds in Winnipeg, Man. At first, theirs proved to be a long distance romance, as Oleh soon returned to Ottawa to continue his medical studies and Maria returned to resume her public health nurse duties with the Dauphin & District Health Unit in northern Manitoba. Oh, the letters and phone calls to and fro! The wedding took place at St. Andrew’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Maria’s home town of Winnipeg Oct. 30, 1962, and after blessings and cheers from family and friends, they took a train back east to set up a new life together. The years 1963, 1965 and 1967 brought forth two daughters and a son in Ottawa, Montreal and Deep River, near Petawawa, Ont. The family was stationed there for three years while Oleh served in the Army Medical Corps as captain and major. Following a brief posting to Egypt with the UN Peace Corps, he then retired into private general practice. Going west to a small community northeast of Edmonton proved an invaluable step in all respects, and their experiences and friendships from there remain fresh to this day. However, having attended the Banff School of Fine Arts for two summers, Maria wished to pursue art studies at the University

of Alberta, and Oleh decided to enter the specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation, also at U of A, which necessitated a move to Edmonton. “For some years, all five members of the Maryniak family were in school of one kind or another — and we all loved it,” said Oleh. Being steeped in traditional values and a strong work ethic — albeit with an adventurous streak — the family ties remained unbroken even when Maria eventually completed an MFA program in Mexico, and Oleh assumed directorship of the Rehabilitation Department of St. Joseph’s Health Centre in London, Ont. Many more years of teaching and volunteering continued in both of their professions until Oleh’s retirement from the University of Western Ontario Faculty of Medicine as Professor Emeritus. They arrived in Vernon in 2002 when this community was still “the Okanagan’s best kept secret,” and after their son showed them the B.C. Interior, calling it “God’s country.” “To this day we truly enjoy the awesome natural surroundings and participate in the variety of music and arts activities available here by sharing them with friends locally and from away. “We will rejoice most of all at the end of our 50th anniversary year, when all our family, including our five precious grandchildren, will reunite for a traditional Christmas, to celebrate and give thanks together.

Grade 11 students Leslie Lillemo, Katrina Bolton and Siobhan Clancy take a break on the school building site.

Global Action trip is one that changes lives Morning Star Staff

Take 20 Vernon students and transport them half way around the world to a rural village in Kenya, where they are immersed in Maasai culture, surrounded by beautiful wildlife, and help to build a school for the local children, all of it connecting the global community. For the last two weeks of August, Vernon secondary school teacher Susan Egan’s Global Action class did just that. Working with Free the Children charities, students helped to construct a school building in the picturesque village of Ngosuani, in the Maasai Mara area of Kenya. Families there struggle to put food on the table, and the average income is less than $1 a day. “We went to help the villagers, but we learned so much from them too,” said Egan. “They have such a strong sense of community, and although people don’t have much they all help each other and are so kind and welcoming.” Illiteracy rates are high, but all that is beginning to change, as children attend school and have more choices for their future. “It was so meaningful as we shoveled and laid the bricks for the new building, knowing that children would be learning how to read and write there,” said Grade 11 student Amy Friedman. “They were so happy to be going to school, even

A lion enjoys an afternoon yawn on the Maasai Mara reserve. if they hadn’t had breakfast, and it really makes you realize that education is a gift.” Grade 11 student Michaela Hamilton learned that it’s not just material things that bring happiness. “A trip like this really changes your perspective and makes you think about what you really need,” she said. Kalamalka Rotary Club donated the construction materi-

als costs for the new school building while the Vernon students provided volunteer labour. Egan would like to thank the club for their incredible support, and all of those who support Rotary through their Dream Auction fundraiser. She also thanks EF Tour Company for arranging the travel for the group. As part of the cultural component of the trip, students participated in a water walk to the local water source, to gain a greater understanding of what life is like for villagers. The mamas and young women carry very heavy water containers, often for long distances so families will have river water to cook and clean with. “It was a very humbling experience, and I have so much respect for the mamas,” said Grade 12 student Sylvanna Wilson. “The containers were so heavy, it was really hard to walk with them, and they carry them so far, and here, we can just turn on the tap.” She added that the experience has encouraged her to be more careful with her own personal water use. “I’m definitely taking shorter showers now,” she said. This is the second time that the Global Action group has travelled to Ngosuani, and there is another volunteer trip being planned for 2014. Deadline for applications is Nov. 14. Egan can be contacted at segan@sd22.bc.ca.

Sean Desmond, OneRepublic, Cody Simpson…and Vernon’s very own Sylvanna Wilson! Sylvanna is a Grade 12 Global Action student at Vernon secondary school who spoke about her experience volunteering in Kenya this past summer. She talked about how she fundraised for her trip with bake sales and bottle drives, the wonderful village that she volunteered at, and the friendships she made with the people there. The experience was a life-changing one for Sylvanna, and she spoke from the heart. “Going to Kenya with the purpose of making a difference, I had no idea how much I would learn myself,” she said. “ Experiencing the gratitude and incredible happiness that villagers have for everything in their lives made me think a lot about how we live our lives here at home. Their kind and loving nature made me

feel so welcome, like I was part of their community. “My experience taught me that relationships are the most important things in life, and the friendships that we make and the connections with others are what really matters.” Grade 12 Kal student Chris Leverman was very inspired by Archbishop Desmond Tutu. “It was an honour to be in the same room as such a great man and to hear him speak,” he said. “He talked about how it felt to finally be able to cast his vote in a democratic South Africa, after the years and years of apartheid. It’s so important that we all vote in elections here, since so many people in the world don’t have that right.” Chris also commented on the Nobel Peace Prize winner’s ability to connect with youth. “He turned the focus away from himself and praised all of us for

I will remember the day for a life time.” Grade 12 VSS student Valentina Correale was very moved by the event. “It was more than just the experience to be there to listen to the speakers’ stories and see the performers; it was the push and motivation I needed to not only follow my own dreams, but to try and help make a difference in someone else’s life,” she said. The Fulton We Day student group added that we should all keep in mind that “any positive change big or small

Q: A:

This time of year brings us frosty mornings and also chores to get our Equine friends ready for the impending winter months. After a good frost it is recommended to give a broad spectrum de-wormer, one which eliminates bots as well as tapeworms. Vaccinations are also an important consideration this time of year. We recommend that your brood mares be vaccinated with an anti-abortion vaccine (EHV-1) at five, seven and nine months of gestation. As well any horses going to a boarding or training facility should have a booster vaccine to cover Influenza and Respiratory EHV-1 & EHV-4. Foals are particularly susceptible to these viruses, due to a naïve immune system and stress during weaning. Therefore, it is recommended, to start them on their vaccination regime two weeks prior to weaning. Optimize your hay supply. Have your horse’s teeth evaluated by your veterinarian to ensure proper alignment and wear. Check your emergency kit. Properly store your liquids and check expiration dates. Make sure your water heaters are functioning properly. Water consumption increases during winter months. If you have any other questions, give us a call. — Dr. Miles Latwat, DVM

Anastasia about to get new life Moore to

For The Morning Star

A princess, an adventure, and a real life mystery. Combining a dynamic fusion of drama, acrobatics, dance, music, gymnastics and cirque-like storytelling, the Cirque Theatre Company and Okanagan Rhythmic Gymnastics take to the stage for their annual production at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre next weekend. This year’s show, Anastasia: The Mystery of a Russian Princess, has fascinated director Camille Martens since she visited the princess’ real life palace in St. Petersburg, Russia as a child. “Her story has intrigued me for so many years. We started playing with ideas for this show in 1997 but I knew that we didn’t have a cast strong enough to pull it off,” she said. “It’s exciting to know that we are at a place where we have a team with such depth in both quality and quantity that we can take on a show of this scope.” The story begins in the opulent Romanov family palace with Russia on the brink of revolution. While peasants starve outside, inside the palace, the royal family enjoy huge banquets and parties. Anastasia’s grandmother, The Grand Duchess (played by Gilian Kilgour), is horrified by her son’s disregard for the poor peasants of Russia. She decides to leave for Paris, but not before first bestowing a gift upon the youngest princess, a precious music box to remind her to be true to herself and to honour her compassion for those less fortunate. Playing young Anastasia is 10-year-old Jaedyn Andreotti. Coach and assistant director Brie-Anne MacPherson has been blown away by the young gymnast. “Her work ethic and dedication to the part have been truly exceptional. She has really worked on embodying the feelings of the young princess, torn between a family she loves

Rasputin and his minions. The solution? A 12-foot Cut to an orphanage full of puppet, complete with moving some very talented orphans.

“Her story has intrigued me for so many years.”

Leading this band of poor, deprived children is Martens herself as the grumpy, but lovable orphanage keeper. “Interacting with the kids on stage is such a delight,” she said. “I just adore all these fabulous aspiring gymnasts and actors and getting to play such a fun role with them makes me smile inside and out.” Skip eight years into the future and Anastasia is ready to set out on her own in search of the family she will not be complete without. The part of the grown up Anastasia is played by Canadian rhythmic gymnastics star, Jessica Krushen. Youngest national champion ever, Pan Am Games gold medalist and Olympic Hopes finalist, Krushen is one of the most accomplished gymnasts in Okanagan Rhythmic’s history. “It feels so amazing to be back. It’s very exciting to be a part of one of Camille’s productions again. Being in such a happy and creative environment brings me so much joy,” said Krushen. Anastasia’s memory is returning as pieces of the puzzle begin to fit together while she journeys to Paris; although Rasputin’s minions are never far behind. Searching Paris for her grandma, Anastasia comes across many interesting characters including gypsies, a mime and a pack of pink poodles. The dramatic climax of this show is sure to bring you to the edge of your seat as Rasputin and his minions place a spell on a 30-foot bridge that literally comes to life, said Martens, adding the bridge is just one of many outstanding touches built by master lighting and set designer Dave Brotsky. Anastasia takes the stage at the VPAC Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25/adult, $20 senior/student, $16/child 12 and under (family pricing also available) at the Ticket Seller, 250549-7469, ww.ticketseller.ca.

sing again

KRIsTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff

Life has a way of throwing some mighty fast curve balls, not always in the direction you want them to go. For Vernon singer Paul Moore, the last few months haven’t offered a lot of catches, or releases, but he is determined to sing on. The Juilliard-trained tenor is performing in concert with accompanist Sandra Fletcher at All Saints Anglican Church on Wednesday. Moore, who last performed locally at Trinity United Church in July, had plans for a concert earlier this fall, however, he had to put those plans aside and almost shelved the concert completely after the sudden death of his brother, Rob Moore, on Aug. 11. With the devastating news, Paul Moore Moore has decided to continue to do what he does best, with a smile on his face and his sense of humour intact. “The nature of his death and the upsetting circumstances leading up to it have made it extremely hard to focus on what’s good about life. I have only been able to just get by and try not to let the overwhelming need for answers take over my life,” said Moore. “I have always sung about life and death and love and loss. I have sung for countless weddings and funerals, but it has mostly been for other people. I have found it quite natural to give other people a sense of hope and strength in my life and in my singing. “My brother was the strongest person I’ve ever known so I just imagined having his strength and persistence and just decided to follow my plan.” Besides his own solo career, Moore has also been sharing his love of singing with a choir he formed in Vernon a year ago. Three singers from the choir have agreed to sing a solo each at Moore’s performance at All Saints. “Of course they have great voices and I’m really excited to have them in the show,” he said. “What’s even more interesting to me is their ages, 12, 20, and the oldest is in her 30s. It’s their love of singing that connects them.” Moore also heaps the praise on his accompanist, Fletcher, a Kelowna pianist who joined him for his last concert in town. “My audience from the last show thought Sandra was very good at the piano. She is also generous. She allows me my difficult moments and doesn’t even mind when I stop a love song right in the middle to come over to the piano and woo her with my best tenor moves,” he laughed.

Reel Reviews

For your consideration: Joaquin Phoenix in The Master. be nominated for Best Picture, Best Director and although Philip Seymour Hoffman is brilliant (as usual), I’m sure Joaquin Phoenix will win Best Actor. His performance was amazing. HOWE: What? Even better than Paranormal Activity? I will agree with you on it being a great film, but you have to remember that we have seen some other great movies this year, and I’m sure there will be one or two worthy before we are through. The Hobbit being one of them. TAYLOR: Agreed, summer is over and seriousness awaits, but I think the weight of this tale, the raw emotional intensity of the performances and

the subject matter will make The Master the one to beat. Phoenix’s role as the damaged soul was complicated and mesmerizing. Freddy is a character an actor prays for. I read that he was inspired in part by Jason Robard’s tales of drunken exploits in the navy. Freddy could have had an excellent movie by himself. To throw L. Ron Hubbard, I mean, Lancaster Dodd, into the mix creates magic. HOWE: I couldn’t agree more. The whole cast did an amazing job from the nervous sonin-law Clark, played by Rami Malek, to Dodd’s strong-willed wife Peggy (Amy Adams). What I really enjoyed though was Seymour Hoffman’s performance as the

The WeinsTein Company

These people don’t realize they are searching for logic at the creation of a religion. Silly humans, if you want to really understand the backstory, simply read the Wikipedia page on Scientology.

stunningly beautiful, while the other, Die Forelle, is about a fish that gets caught. Moore will also sing two of his favourite English songs, the classic Danny Boy, a special request from his grandparents, and Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair, followed by Dein ist mein ganzes herz, a famous aria written by Franz Lehar, and Danillo’s Song from The Merry Widow, also by Lehar. “I also have some Frank Sinatra moments with Almost Like Being in Love, Fly Me to The Moon, and That’s Amore as well as What a Wonderful World. I can’t sing like Louis Armstrong, but I don’t think he’d mind,” said Moore. Of course, there will also be the Italian songs Moore loves to sing, and he will explain and even demonstrate his fascination with what he calls the “Operatic Death Scene.” “It’s where a singer is covered in blood, having been stabbed or shot, and sings for 10 minutes or sometimes more, and very beautifully I might add for someone who has been stabbed or shot,” said Moore, adding he thinks of Tim Conway’s famed character Mr. Tudball in an operatic costume when playing out the scenes. “I like making people laugh and I grew up watching Sesame Street, The Muppets and The Carol Burnett Show.” Moore shares his joy of singing at All Saints Anglican Church Wednesday at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults and $22 for seniors/students. They are available at the Ticket Seller, 250-549-7469 or visit www.ticketseller.ca.

VPAG exposes its membership Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Public Art Gallery opens its annual members’ exhibition Thursday with a total of 76 works of art produced by 46 talented and creative artists. This is an increase in submissions from 2011, perhaps due to the new title and theme, Exposed! “We are happy with the response from our call to artists. The new theme gave the artists the chance to indulge in something new for 2012 and we have a number of figurative drawings and paintings included in the exhibition,” said VPAG executive director Dauna Kennedy Grant. “The quality of work is strong and we expect this exhibition to be popular and look forward to an increase in sales for our local artists.” The annual exhibition not only provides members of the community the opportunity to exhibit their works in a public art gallery at no cost, it also provides a small source of revenue to the VPAG. Part proceeds of all art sales from Exposed! will support ongoing exhibitions and programming. “We encourage the public to consider purchasing art as a gift this holiday season,” said Kennedy Grant. “All the artwork is original, and there is a variety of mediums and subject matters to choose from; everything from sculpture to printmaking, in all different sizes and price ranges.” To celebrate the accomplishments of the artists in Exposed!, the VPAG is hosting an opening reception on Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. The event is open to members and guests are welcome by invitation. Participation in the annual members’ exhibition is one of many benefits to becoming a gallery member, said Kennedy Grant. Members receive discounts on gift shop merchandise, events, and workshops such as the new Live Model Drawing Series, which takes place at the gallery on Nov. 9, 23, and Dec. 7, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The members’ fee to

Kelowna artist Julia Trops has submitted The Sunbather, 2007, mixed media, to the Vernon Public Art Gallery’s members show, Exposed! take the course is only $10, half the cost of what non-members pay. Also, with the holiday season approaching, the gallery is hosting its second annual members’ appreciation event, Get into the Spirit, Nov. 29 from 6 to 8 p.m. Sponsored by Okanagan Spirits, members and guests are invited to celebrate another memorable year at the VPAG. The event provides guests with signature drinks from Okanagan Spirits, live

vocal and guitar music by Kelowna’s Harley David, and 20 per cent off purchases in the gift shop, and the chance to win fabulous door prizes. Tickets for Get into the Spirit are needed (members are free and guests are $10 each.) They are available at the VPAG or by calling 250-545-3173.

Arts Women perform lasting tribute to those who served in the war Morning Star Staff

For the audience, Songs of the War Years is a sentimental musical journey through the

era of the Second World War, but for Sally Evans it’s a dream come true. The Vernon singer has brought her tribute

to the men and women who served during the war to the stage around Remembrance Day for the past seven years. Accompanied by Molly Boyd on piano, Evans is back to present Songs of the War Years at the Schubert Centre, Thursday. Evans grew up in East Kelowna surrounded by the music of the ‘30s and ‘40s, and the memories of her childhood spent around the piano with her family, she says, were

and still are precious. “I already knew the words to almost every song and with my experience working with seniors in recreation for many years, it was a dream that with a little encouragement, (the tribute) could very possibly come true,” she said. While sitting in a coffee shop with a good friend, Evans shared her dream, and her friend believed strongly in her vision, so Evans began looking for a piano

Boyd came into the picture. “Well known in her hometown of Vernon, Molly was and is the perfect musician for the show,” said Evans. “She not only plays by ear, she also knows an amazing number of songs, plus she has the energy and a genuine commitment to seniors to match mine. We make a great pair on stage and off.” Since 2005, Evans and Boyd have performed Songs of the War Years plus two other shows to more than 10,000 people at more than 80 gigs throughout the Okanagan and the Kootenays. Their enthusiasm hasn’t waned a bit. “We both love the music and being on stage and we really enjoy the reactions of and interacting with the audience,” said Evans. “We also love to bring the audience together as one through laughter, song, and sometimes tears.” Although the format of Songs of the War Years

has changed three times over the past seven years, many of the songs and stories have remained the same. “These songs should be heard every year around Remembrance Day as we must not forget the sacrifices that were made by so many during the Second World War. With so many of our veterans passing on, we encourage the families of veterans to see the show. The memories are priceless and singing along is definitely encouraged,” said Evans. “Younger people will be amazed at how many of the lyrics they know and the show gives an education and insight into wartime. Audience members of all ages comment on how they love the music, the energy and camaraderie.” Doors to Songs of the War Years at Schubert Centre open at 1 p.m. Thursday. Showtime is from 2 to 4 p.m. Tickets are $8 and are on sale now at Schubert Centre and at the door if available.

Home Building Centre the tops Morning Star Staff

Two North Okanagan residents have been recognized nationally for their contributions to the community. John Kehler and Gary Gilchrist, owners of the Home Building Centre in Vernon, were recipients of the community leader award at Hardware Merchandising magazine’s 2012 Outstanding Retailer Awards gala in Toronto. Vernon’s Home Building Centre has sponsored charity golf tournaments for the North Okanagan Hospice Society and the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. Since 2007, the store has raised $50,000 for breast cancer research in B.C., and each Christmas, it supports families who cannot provide food and presents during the holiday season. “Gary and I would like to dedicate this award to our staff and give special credit to Bob Anderson, store manager, and Daphne Coleman, office manager, as they were instrumental in the success of our charity efforts,” said Kehler. “The community of Vernon has been very supportive of us, so we always go the extra mile to give back. The award recipients were chosen by a panel of industry experts who analyzed nominations from retailers across Canada in seven categories: best hardware store; best building supply/home centre (under

25,000-square-feet); best building supply/ home centre (over 25,000-square-feet.); best contractor-specialist dealer; best young retailer; best large surface retailer (over 50,000-square-feet retail) and community leader. Each nomination was judged on a range of criteria, including sales performance, retailing innovation and community involvement. Home Hardware dealers from across Canada took five out of the seven categories at this year’s event. Home Hardware has received 17 outstanding retailing awards over the last six years. “Home Hardware is committed to providing our independent dealer-owners with the support, programs and services to help them grow profitable, successful businesses and the outstanding retailer awards serve as a testament to the hard work of these entrepreneurs as well as the strength of our program,” said Paul Straus, president of Home Hardware Stores. “On behalf of the dealer-owners of close to 1,100 Home Hardware stores in communities across Canada, I would like to congratulate John on his success.” The awards gala was held at the Toronto Sheraton Airport Hotel Oct. 25, 2012, in conjunction with the Hardlines Conference, a two-day symposium for business leaders in home improvement retailing.

Study considers the financial impact of agriculture Morning Star Staff

The agriculture industry in the Okanagan has a far greater positive impact on the regional economy than anyone realizes, according to a professor with Okanagan College’s School of Business. “The public only sees the primary products. What they don’t see is the value-added that contributes to the economy,” said Lee Cartier, who has just received a national grant to conduct further study on the issue. “What we’re looking at here is the industry cluster of agricultural products. Wine, tree fruits, processing, manufacturers, stainless steel fabrication, equipment manufacturing, the service and support industries, the grower supply companies — all of this is the value chain.” The grant extended to Cartier is for $25,000 from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) to conduct his study, titled

morning star file Photo

The Okanagan’s agriculture sector will be the focus of an economic study. Rural Entrepreneurship and Industry Competitiveness: Value-Chain Innovation in the Agricultural Products Cluster since 2006.

His research will examine the region with a macro-economic focus, looking at local agriculture as an industry cluster — similar to other classic industry clusters like the Silicon Valley. What’s curious, Cartier says, is that once agriculture is examined as a cluster, it becomes clear that it outpaces overall economic growth in the Okanagan — not by much, but enough to be significant at 3.6 per cent growth, versus three per cent growth. “What this research hopes to answer is why this is happening,” Cartier said. “I know I’m going to find innovation there, but what’s driving it?” Cartier says not much is known in Canada about the role rural entrepreneurs play in regional economies. By taking a closer look at what is occurring here, rural entrepreneurs, and others with economic interests, could literally capitalize on the findings.

The difference can be exponential, he said. Case in point is the local wine industry, which Cartier researched in 2011 for the B.C. Wine Institute. His findings showed that while the wine grape growers contribute $28 million to the region’s economy, once the entire value chain is factored in, that contribution is closer to $250 million, which represents two per cent of the regional GDP. “This means the primary producers — the vineyards — only comprise 11 per cent of the industry’s total value-added contribution,” he said. “There is a real benefit to the agriculture sector seeing itself as a cluster, rather than as a collection of small wineries (for instance) in competition with one another. When an industry can see the entire value chain, it’s easier to determine the challenges they have to deal with, and what they haven’t tackled.”

The group will convert the Enderby Visitors Centre (700 Railway St.) into a gallery for the weekend, giving residents and tourists the opportunity to not only own some unique local art, but also get a glimpse at what an artist-run gallery could look like if it were a more permanent asset in our community. There will be a silent auction as well and proceeds from that, alongside commission revenues from all art purchased at the event, will go back into the creation of a permanent art gallery.

On safari to the Dead Sea chris mcbeath Special To The Morning Star

ISRAEL - Camels can be mighty disagreeable. But when you’re riding one to cross Israel’s Negev Desert to the Dead Sea, their tempers dissipate under the sweltering sun, and you both settle into an awkward, rhythmic, sway. For the curious mind, it’s not long before you also come to appreciate the finesse of a camel’s engineering. For example, camels urinate backwards to cool their hind legs; areas of dead skin areas enable them to sit on scorching 40C degree sands while their bulbous joints raise their bodies just enough to let oncoming winds cool their torso. And their iconic humpy backpacks keep them fed and watered for up to a month, after which they’ll drink a 45-gallon fill up in a mere 10-minutes. But camels have an irritating hang up. They simply refuse to go over ditches, forcing camel trains to take long and winding detours from a simple ‘A to B’ route. So for safari purposes, you’ll need to trade up to an all-terrain desert vehicle of the motorized variety. The ride isn’t necessarily any more comfortable, but a jeep will get you to places that camels fear to tread. Like the country itself, these desert landscapes are a study in contradictions. They are still home to a handful of Bedouin tribes whose black tents and sheep herds hint of their nomadic authenticity. The Negev is where you’ll find the simple homestead of Ben Gurion, Israel’s founding father; Sde Boker, one of Israel’s few remaining kibbutz; and second century Bezantyne stone-walls. However you explore the desert, the topography promises the unexpected. Ramon Crater is such a place. Measuring 40 kilometres long, and up to 10 kilometres wide, it is the largest of three Negev craters, and contains fascinating geological formations, and a rockstrata found nowhere else in the world. Some sculpted outcrops are 200 mil-

Crossing the desert mountain plateau is a rough ride. It’s a starkly beautiful part of Israel that few visitors experience. Although the almost vertical descent to the Dead Sea is a shade hair-raising, the prospect of floating one’s (now sore) backside in the sea’s soothing, mineral laden waters makes the entire adventure worthwhile. Until you’ve tried to defy its buoyancy, the reality of the Dead Sea is hard to comprehend. But as the earth’s lowest land elevation, 423 meters below sea level, the uber-briny waters are as much a tourist attraction as they are an economic resource for magnesium. Then there’s the mud. The same glorious mineral-rich mud that Cleopatra daubed all over her body, and that today is packaged into expensive mud therapies. Nothing, however, quite prepares you for dawn atop Masada.

Spread over a 9.3-hectare plateau on a singular mountain bloc that rises straight up for 450 meters, this palatial fortress includes the remnants of a three-story, cliff-clinging palace as well as residences, storerooms, baths, terraces, vast water cisterns and a synagogue. Built by Herod the Great in 67 BC, the genius of architecture is undisputable. And as the last bastion of Jewish freedom fighters that chose suicide rather than submit to Roman attackers in AD73, its mythology is the stuff of legends – although intriguingly, no human bones have ever found on or anywhere near the site. The western gate is still reached via the Roman’s original siege ramp path and as the sun casts its morning glow across the Dead Sea and over Masada’s crumbling maze, it can’t help but stir the imagination as to what has gone before. But that’s the pull of Israel. With every step and every breath, you are following stories of biblical and multifaith proportions, which for such a tiny country is a story unto itself.

low down, you move too fast. You got to make the morning last now, just kicking down the cobble stones. Looking for fun and feelin’ groovy.” The words to Simon and Garfunkel’s The 59th Bridge Street Song say it all. Do you feel like you are on a treadmill and can’t get off - even if you want to? Do you wake up in the morning feeling as tired as when you went to bed? Do you have your kids over-scheduled with activities, making you over-scheduled too? Do you ever think, if one more person asks me to do one more thing, I’m going to scream? Are you on your computer or other devices all night when you get home? Are you non-stop texting and e-mailing work-related issues from everywhere you go? (restaurants, those kids activities, etc)? Are you always late because you are doing too much or are you just too darned tired to even care anymore? If you answered yes to even one of these questions, then I recommend that you stop and have a serious look at your life. You may be on the way to making yourself physically or mentally sick. In his book, When The Body Says No, Dr. Gabor Mate states that,

not a conscious decision by the individual; rather, it is the result of the automatic triggering of nerve pathways programmed long ago.” So, for those who are told their fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, etc. is all in their head, it’s true. The situation, or experience or trauma that created the condition, is stored in the prefrontal cortex. So, for future reference when it is implied that something is all in your head, you can agree, as it is indeed in your head as opposed to your imagination. So, slow down, unschedule your life and focus on the things you want to do, the things that feed your inner soul and make you smile. Make fun your goal, then you can feel groovy like the song says. Be groovy ‘man’. It feels kewl. Carole Fawcett is a counsellor, clinical hypnotherapist and freelance writer. www.amindfulconnection.com

YOU AND THE LAW PROPERTY PURCHASE CONTRACTS SHOULD BE COMPLETE By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. Buying a home and investing in real estate is a big deal. Contracts for the purchase and sale of property involve major dollars, and it’s important that they contain all important terms. Otherwise the deal could go sideways and lead to an expensive lawsuit. To help a wronged buyer or seller, the court may imply a missing term in the contract to ensure it has the meaning intended and to give business effect to it. Take the agreement between Doug and Sandra (not their real names). Sandra and a neighbour owned land across the street from Doug. He proposed that Sandra and the neighbour subdivide their two parcels of land into ﬁve lots, three of which would be carved out from Sandra’s parcel. She would then convey two of her lots to Doug, who planned to develop them as single-family homes.

(transfer) a waterfront lease attached to one of the lots to him. The lease assignment needed government approval. But neither side obtained this approval before the sale was to close, and the agreement didn’t say whose obligation that was. Then, after the buyer was late in paying the deposit and the sellers extended the closing date once by two months, the sellers refused to extend the closing again, and treated the contract as at an end. The buyer sued to have the property sold to him for the contract price. (By the time the case went to court, the property had appreciated signiﬁcantly.) In response, the sellers argued it was his responsibility, not theirs, to request the government approval for the lease transfer, but that he did nothing until it was too late.

The trial court decided it was the buyer’s responsibility to use reasonable efforts to get the government approval and implied this term. So the buyer initially lost because he didn’t out this court-implied Dave Schaefer carry obligation. Later, the appeal court decided the obligation was that of the seller, implied The BC Supreme Court noted that the by law, and it would have needed a written written contract for sale was sloppily clause to make it the buyer’s obligation.

And once South is stuck in three no-trump, what should he do after West leads the spade jack to declarer’s king?

News Tech career opportunities booming in B.C., and Vernon Morning Star Staff

John Leech, Executive Director of the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of B.C., explains that, “Every system we rely on – water, roads and transportation, telecommunications and Internet, hydro and natural gas, environment, health, forestry, and many more – utilizes engineering and applied science technology professionals working in the background. B.C.’s telecom and IT, animation and many other sectors produce new careers every month.” The situation is no different in Vernon. In fact, the local region is home to several technologybased companies - all providing employment while keeping the community connected to some of the most current hightech services. Two of the larger companies are tekmar Control Systems and Progressive Solutions, each with approximately 60 to 70 staff. But an even bigger component to the world of technology is Kal Tire. Inside its newly-constructed head office on Kalamalka Road are approximately 270 staff members. “A fair amount of their employees are technology-based,” said Kevin Poole, Vernon’s economic development manager. “We also have some pretty unique companies that a lot of people don’t even know we have,” said Poole. To name a few: AVS Systems, Protocol Technologies and Immersive Media. The latter is a world leader in digital media, and can be found right here in Vernon. “The head of that company chose to live in Vernon,” said Poole. “Hopefully we can keep them here.” Immersive runs the Google street mapping and was also used by the City of Vernon in its Ironman bid but also has worked on cutting-edge worldwide projects. “It’s pretty cool stuff,” said Poole of the 360 degree video work produced. There are also a number of young, start-up technology-

And Vernon has its arms open to the business. “We see technology as a real opportunity for this area,” said Poole, noting that not a lot of industrial land is needed and such companies can lead to some significant employment along the way. ASTTBC has more than 10,000 members currently working in thousands of careers available to graduates of two-year diploma programs available at the British Columbia Institute of Technology and other B.C. colleges and institutes. “Our members enjoy rewarding, well-paid and often recession-proof careers in public service and the private sector alike,” Leech states. “For huge numbers of young men and women, technology is the answer. In B.C. and across Canada, technology permeates every workplace and job. We need to get capable students involved and engaged in applied sciences and head off workforce shortages by building a B.C. ‘Science and Technology Culture’.” Leech calls on government for renewed efforts to build stu-

dent skills and confidence in math and science programming. “We especially need to interest young students in science and how things work,” Leech says. “Young students use technology every day – smart phones, iPads and computers. They play video games, even build robots.” Leech lauds the recent “Year of Science” program that encouraged students toward so-called “STEM” subjects – science, technology, engineering and math. Citing the recent $6 million B.C. campaign to encourage careers in trades, Leech urges a similar effort to build awareness of engineering technology education and careers. BC Technology Industries Association employers like Telus and BC Hydro and many smaller technology-rich companies say the single most important position they now struggle to fill is specialty technician/technologist. Even the Canadian Council of Chief Executives expressed concern that only 37 per cent of 16- to 18-year-olds were interested in taking even one post-secondary course in sciences, according to a recent Angus Reid survey. Leech says the opportunities for those seeking work in the technology field are considerable given a wave of retirements of present-generation B.C. technology professionals that is already underway. “Half of our membership is now middle-aged at 45-plus, and 22 per cent are over age 55!” he says. “Every region of B.C. shows growing demand,” Leech concludes. “New two-year technology diploma programs are still needed in the north and central B.C. However, young people are investing to travel so they can earn the necessary tech qualifications.” It would appear their investment is a smart move, as it will result in a broad range of career opportunities. Industries in all regions of B.C. support programs for local trainees to fill engineering and applied science technologist, technician and technical specialist positions.

Melanie Lynne Christien (nee French)

Our beautiful mother and grandmother Melanie passed away unexpectedly on October 27th, 2012 at the young age of 70 years. She will be deeply missed by her daughter, Michelle Vest (Ralph Talbot); two sons, Doug Christien and Joel Christien; her adoring grandchildren, Scott Vest (Laura Ramsey), Hannah Vest (Shawn Ellis) – parents of her beautiful baby great-grandson, Dominic, and Janelle and Josee Christien, all of whom Mom loved dearly. Melanie will also be greatly missed by her extended family, Jeff and Laurie Vest and little Ryan, Jim and Lesley Jung; her brother, Laurie French and his family; her sister, Linda Hatten and her family; all her many friends but most of all by her life-long friends, Vanneau Neesham, Marjene Postil and Bonnie Goble. Mom was preceded in death by her parents, Doug and Kitty French (nee Hamilton). Mom loved the outdoors and there were many happy days spent going for long walks, planning and going on adventurous hiking trips with friends, puttering in her yard on the lake or enjoying morning coffee watching her birds at the feeder while doing her crossword puzzles. She also had a great passion for many other interests through her life. Mom belonged to the Outdoors Club, the Hiking Club, The Allen Brookes Nature Society, The Powerhouse Theatre, The Film Society or trundling off to help with banding hummingbirds, teaching children to knit and enjoying many community concerts and other events through the years, or just lending a helping hand to her friends when needed and always with a smile. Mom loved to share her house on the lake with her family and friends. We all enjoyed many happy times and delicious dinners she cooked for all of us through the years. Mom was born and raised in Vernon and worked for the Vernon Health Unit for 35 years. She loved every minute of her job and the people she worked with and interacted with on a daily basis. Mom will be missed for her gentle manner and her kind and loving spirit to all living things. Cremation preceded a Celebration Of Melanie’s Life which will be held at Trinity United Church on Wednesday, November 7th, 2012 at 2:30 P.M. with Reverend Bob Thompson officiating. One of Mom’s greatest concerns was for the loss of our Wetlands and the impact it would have on our clean water supply. As an expression of sympathy, our family would like you to make a donation in memory of Melanie Christien to the Wetlands Stewardship Partnership at info@bcwetlands.ca or to the BC Nature (Federation of BC Naturalists), c/o Parks Heritage Centre, 1620 Mount Seymour Road, North Vancouver, B.C.

Margaret Jean (MacKinnon) Anderson August 8, 1926 - October 27, 2012 Margaret (Markie, as her grandchildren called her) passed on peacefully at Noric House early Saturday morning. For over a year, she bravely endured the harsh eīects of a stroke and thanks to the compassionate care she received at Polson ResidenƟal Care and Noric House she kept her spirits high. Margaret was born in Cranbrook and never lost her love of the Kootenays. She later graduated from McGill University in Montreal and moved to Vernon to teach Home Economics at Vernon High School (in Polson Park). There she met the ‘love of her life’ Gordon and had four children - Ted (Lillian), Helen (Kerry), Howie (Lisa) and James. She will be lovingly remembered by her grandchildren also - Kyle and Jess Brewis, Gordon, Maggie and Brian Anderson, and Sarah, Ryley and Wesley Anderson. Margaret conƟnued teaching her whole life - showing kindness and paƟence, sharing with and respecƟng others, the ũoy of laughter, the rewards of working hard and how to give uncondiƟonal love. Her philosophy was LIVEͬLOVE. Margaret loved many things - her family and friends (and cats), gardening, reading, baking, sewing, kniƫng, weaving, playing bridge, Highland dancing, taking walks, listening to music, and tackling ‘The Vancouver Sun’ weekend crossword puzzle. She loved a challenge! With Gordon and her family, she enũoyed many happy summer days at their Kootenay property ‘Cedar High’. She and Gordon experienced some wonderful trips to California and eastern Canada and the US and she and Doreen Brewis shared several lovely trips to the US, Scotland, Ireland, England, and Indonesia. For those of us who had the privilege to know Margaret, with her beauƟful blue eyes and warm smile - she will have a special place in our hearts forever. A ‘CelebraƟon of Life’ for Margaret will take place at a later date. In lieu of Ňowers, those who wish may send donaƟons in Margaret’s memory to the Heart and Stroke FoundaƟon.

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of George Richard Vosper on October 21st, 2012 in Heron Grove at the age of 82. George was born in Vernon in 1930 and lived his life locally and as close to the earth as possible. In his young days, he had his own small sawmill in Cherryville and on many occasions the crew said that Dick (as he was fondly known) was one of the best employers ever. He made friendships that truly lasted his entire life. Middle years were spent providing for his family, be it driving logging truck for Hector LeBlanc or working at Dyck’s garage. You could always count on seeing Dick walking around town in later years. He is survived by his sons: Dale (Kari), Dennis and Kelly; grandchildren, Violet, Clayton, Kevin, Lindsey and Ryan; numerous great-grandchildren; nieces and nephews. George was predeceased by: his mother Minnie; father Frank; brothers: Lou, Frank and Jack; and sister Beryl. He was the last one in his family. He ran a good race and is now at peace. George will be greatly missed. A family celebration of life is to be held at a later date.
