Petition targets amalgamation vote T RICHARD ROLKE

Morning Star Staff

here’s pressure to place Greater Vernon’s future in the hands of residents.

Until October 31, a petition will be circulated asking local and provincial authorities to develop a plan to combine Vernon, Coldstream and Areas B and C into a single entity to provide a more efficient use of taxes.

“We want the citizens of Greater Vernon to say if we are one community or not,” said Bruce Shepherd, president of the Society for the Future Governance of Greater Vernon.

The petition is being published in The Morning Star and is available at www.greatervernongovernance.ca.

The goal is to have a referendum on the ballot — Bruce in each jurisdiction during the 2014 civic elections in regards to governance.

“If they (voters) say no, at least they said it,” said Peter Moore, society director, adding that those opposed to amalgamation should be interested in a referendum proceeding.

“It would be wise for them to ask to have the question on the ballot so they can vote no once and for all.”

The society was first formed in 2005 with a primary focus on the entire North Okanagan, but nothing materialized and efforts ceased. However, earlier this year, a group of eight to 10 people from all four Greater Vernon jurisdictions decided to resurrect the group and narrow the scope to just Greater Vernon.

“Our members are concerned about the duplication of services and inefficiencies,” said Moore of two municipal councils and two electoral area directors as well as parallel bureaucracies for 58,000 people.

As an example, the society points to water and parks, recreation and culture being handled by the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee but any decisions must then go before the Regional District of North Okanagan board. In some cases, processes must also be ratified by Vernon and Coldstream councils.

“There’s too much time spent going from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and committee to committee,” said Shepherd.

“The speed of decision-making has slowed down and the infighting has

increased,” added Moore.

Moore says that Coldstream’s population grew 10 per cent between 2000 and 2010 but per capita spending, adjusted for inflation, climbed 32 per cent, while in Vernon, the population increased 13 per cent and spending per capita went up 53 per cent.

“Spending is far outstripping the ability to pay so where will the dollars come from?

Either taxpayers dig ever deeper or services will be cut. To avoid this, we must find cost savings in how we operate municipal government.”

As part of a recent city core review, consultant KPMG indicated amalgamation would generate efficiencies and reduce costs. Vernon council decided not to take action on that recommendation.

There have been previous attempts to move towards amalgamation but Shepherd Moore is confident this new process will move ahead positively.

“We are getting a sense that there’s a silent majority of residents that want the issue addressed,” he said.

The society is not indicating if it has a target for how many signatures it would like on the petition by Oct. 31.

“The provincial government has no magical number either but it needs to be a significant number of residents to call for the question,” said Shepherd.

Before launching the campaign, the society consulted with provincial government representatives, including VernonMonashee MLA Eric Foster.

“They asked about the process and how the province would move forward if they get the numbers on the petition they believe they will get,” said Foster.

“We (government) do not force amalgamation on anyone. I am pleased someone is going on a fact-finder but we do not take sides and we are not initiating the process.”

While the society favours amalgamation, Shepherd insists the priority of the campaign is to simply explore options.

“It might be amalgamation or it might not, which is why it’s important for citizens on both sides of the issue to sign the petition and get the question on the table for formal discussion with facts,” he said.

“Local and provincial politicians won’t take the initiative to find cost and efficiency savings in governance unless taxpayers demand it.”

“It might be amalgamation or it might not.”

Friendly deer sounds official’s alarm roger knox Morning Star Staff

It is the most photographed and filmed deer since Bambi.

A mule deer not at all afraid of humans has been photographed in various parts of Coldstream coming up to people and rubbing its head in a friendly manner against them with people petting the deer in response.

Over the summer, a video was shot by a North Okanagan family showing the deer cozying up to a young boy on the beach at Coldstream’s Sovereign Lake Park on Kal Lake, rubbing its head against the boy’s head and neck.

The video was posted on YouTube and, as of Thursday afternoon, had more than 13,600 hits.

Conservation and wildlife officials, however, have concerns about the deer being so unusually friendly towards humans.

“The concern is that the deer has grown since we last saw it and will soon be entering the rutting season – where the males can become quite aggressive and dangerous,” said Marnie Cuthill, Vernon WildSafe B.C. community coordinator.

“Even now, this mule deer is big enough to inadvertently injure an adult or child with its antlers when it rubs up against them – especially when it has been seeking out human contact at a school.”

Cuthill said the deer was causing problems Wednesday, standing at a Coldstream bus stop and rubbing up against everybody at the stop. It even tried to rub up against a parked car.

The deer then allegedly bounded its way to Kidston Elementary School and got caught

A Coldstream resident meets a young, growing mule deer Wednesday, the same animal that has been seen up close and personal by many residents of Coldstream since first appearing in July. It is getting too friendly, however, for conservation officials who would like to find the deer. up in a kid’s jacket.

Conservation officers thought that perhaps the deer had died because another mule deer had been hit by a car in the area, and it was destroyed because of its injuries.

After the accident, complaints about the deer and its bizarre behaviour stopped.

Until Wednesday.

“We have no idea where this deer has been for the past month,” said Cuthill.

Conservation officials say the deer photographed Wednesday is the same deer that stars in the YouTube video.

Because of rutting season and because the deer has packed on about 50 more pounds since its video hit in July, officials fear the

deer is going to get more aggressive.

“I would recommend as soon as someone sees the deer, phone the conservation officer reporting line (1-877-952-7277) because they are actually looking for it,” said Cuthill.

“If people see the deer, they need to leave.

It’s seeking attention, trying to rub all over people, and people need to leave.”

within municipalities cannot be recognized on highway signs. In this case, Oyama is part of the District of Lake Country.

However, Gatzke and others made the case that many people identify the businesses with Oyama and a lack of signage was creating confusion.

Gatzke is pleased that signs will identify Oyama Road.

“It feels good and they have addressed all of my concerns,” he said.

“There still won’t be an Oyama (community) sign but I hope they won’t object to the community putting up a sign.”

Gatzke believes the ministry was forced to change its policies because of media attention on the negative impact on business.

“The Morning Star was the first ones in and the story took off,” he said, adding that there was also considerable support from Coun. Owen Dickie, Mayor James Baker, MLA Norm Letnick

and MP Ron Cannan.

A tight leash is being put on anyone walking a pack of dogs in Greater Vernon parks.

The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee is adopted a bylaw that limits a person to having four dogs in a desigTannis Nelson nated dog park.

“There have been

individuals with more than a dozen dogs on their own and off leash,” said Tannis Nelson, community development co-ordinator.

Visitors to parks must have care and control of their dogs but Nelson says that can be difficult with multiple animals.

The issue about the number of dogs one person may have arose after a discussion with canine owners.

While he supported the bylaw, director Bob Fleming questions why a resident would have more than one or two dogs in a park.

“It sounds like commercial operations.

Who else would have a dozen dogs?” he said.

Bylaws do not allow a business to operate or advertise in a park unless permission is granted.

“The addition of this section (four dogs) to the bylaw should not negatively impact any dog-related businesses since there have been no such permissions granted,” said Nelson.

Under the bylaw, the fine for having more than four dogs in a dog-designated park is $100.

Do you support a review by local and provincial authorities, to develop a plan to combine our regional governments into a single entity, for the purpose of more efficient use of our local tax dollars?

From 2000 to 2010, the population of Coldstream grew by 10% and operating spending per capita grew by 32%. During the same period, the population of Vernon grew by 13% and spending per capita grew by 53%, this ominous trend continues!

National Accounting firm KPMG, in their recent Core Services Review, stated that consolidation of the Greater Vernon area under one government entity had the highest potential to improve efficiency and reduce costs!

Ask yourself how the ever increasing costs for Infrastructure, Parks, Transportation and Cultural Facilities are going to be funded? There are two choices… find cost savings or increase our taxes!

The time has come for Greater Vernon taxpayers to call for a single, cost effective and efficient local government. Provincial authorities and local politicians won’t act unless citizens demand it.

Hytec joins RBC Cup team Morning Star Staff

A prestigious sports event has scored a significant corporate sponsor.

Hytec, which manufacturers bath products, will be a major sponsor for the 2014 RBC Cup, which takes place at Greater Vernon’s Kal Tire Place May 10 to 18, 2014.

“We believe in being part of our community, so when a national sporting championship of this calibre comes to this area, we want to support it,” said Michael Sanfilippo, Hytec marketing manager.

The national junior hockey championships will draw players, officials and fans from across Canada.

“It gives us an opportunity to strengthen our brand awareness and remind people about our presence in this area,” said Sanfilippo.

Hytec, which is owned by the Kohler Company, operates a 130,000-square-foot facility in Spallumcheen and employs 150 to 215 people.

Although the bulk of its activity is for the residential market, Hytec has also created custom products for Wynn Hotels in Las Vegas and Vernon’s Sparkling Hill resort.

RBC Cup officals welcome Hytec’s participation.

Any contravention of the regulations could lead to suspension of the license or fines.

In 2012, RDNO was handed a $5,000 fine and a 10-day suspension of its liquor license because of three contraventions during a Halloween event in 2011.

The three contraventions included allowing consumption beyond the time permitted, failing to clear patrons by the time required and liquor being present that was not purchased and served by the licensee.

Among the issues that will be pursued for proposed license amendments are the inclusion of the RBC Cup, RBC exclusive pouring rights for Molson, opening and closing times for events and licensing dressing rooms for event green rooms.

“Don’t put the burden on a few members to make this decision”

Morning Star Staff

Cherryville residents are being urged to play a role in resolving outstanding Internet issues.

The Cherryville Community Club will meet Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. to determine if space will be leased to ABC Communications for telecommunications equipment.

“The club is trying to make a decision based on community wishes,” said Eugene Foisy, electoral area director.

“If the equipment doesn’t go at the hall, ABC will need to find an alternate location.”

The lack of high-speed Internet has been a concern for many residents over the years, and particularly those operating businesses or with school-aged children.

In 2008, 127 signatures were received from people saying they would pay for a service if it was available. And on Aug. 8, 2013, 60 residents attended a meeting with ABC to get information and 56 stated they were in favour of the project.

After receiving a $250,000 provincial grant, the Regional District of North Okanagan issued a request for proposals for fixed wireless Internet service.

— Eugene Foisy

“ABC has a contract and has purchased equipment based on community meetings,” said Foisy, adding that other options for Internet were costprohibitive.

The Internet service will add nothing to the tax bill and residents don’t have to use the service.

“It’s completely voluntary,” said Foisy, adding that fixed wireless is the best solution for most residents and the provincial grant can only be used for that method.

Foisy hopes residents will attend Tuesday’s meeting about installing an antenna at the hall.

“Don’t put the burden on the few community club members to make this decision. They are all volunteers trying to do what is best for the community. Ultimately, this is a community decision,” he said.

Plantation hesitations sprout richard rolke Morning Star Staff

There needs to be some more debate before regulations for medicinal marijuana plantations will be considered.

The Regional District of North Okanagan board decided Wednesday to defer requiring building permits for medical marijuana facilities although such a move had been recommended by the agricultural advisory committee.

“This is the first I’ve heard of this,” said director Eugene Foisy.

The primary concern is that the issue had not gone before the Electoral Area Advisory Committee, which oversees planning and building matters for the five rural areas.

“We want Rick Fairbairn to have a discussion around special requirements for these buildings,” said director

Rick Fairbairn.

The board agreed to defer the matter so EAAC can look at it further, but director Mike Macnabb was opposed to the delay.

“We have had the discussion (at the agriculture committee),” said Macnabb.

“The Agricultural Land Commission has said it supports the agriculture industry and medicinal marijuana is part of that. But we don’t know what the facilities will look like. They will create safety and security issues for neighbours.”

Salmon Trail preservation planned richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Rules are in place to ensure the integrity of a popular Lumby park.

Council has approved strategic priorities for maintenance of the Salmon Trail.

“We want to keep it as natural as possible but keep it maintained,” said Mayor Kevin Acton.

The policy calls for regular inspections throughout the season to review overall safety and infrastructure.

Safety hazards will be addressed immediately either through repair or closure of the trail.

One issue that has surfaced is the poor health of some trees along the trail.

“We have included it in the budget to have those trees removed before they hurt some-

body,” said Acton.

The policy states that if a tree falls over the trail and cannot be easily removed, a gap will be

cut to allow for passage.

Trees will be allowed to grow over the Salmon Trail to create a tree canopy but will be

trimmed to a height of four metres above the ground so maintenance vehicles can access the path.

Acupuncture Improves Sleep Quality Approximately 45 per cent of Canadians report that they aren’t getting quality sleep. They have difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep or feeling refreshed upon waking. This is unfortunate, since sleep is the perfect time for the body to rejuvenate. Quality sleep is known to reduce illness, especially cardiovascular symptoms.

According to Chinese Medicine, there are a few different reasons behind poor sleep. The mind needs to come home to the heart at night in order to rest. People who have difficulty falling asleep due to overthinking usually don’t have enough heart yin qi to hold the mind at rest. Waking up frequently during the night, at specific times, can be associated with an overactive liver (feelings of frustration, irritability, over-ambition), or an imbalance in the lungs (grieving, sadness). Feeling tired upon waking is usually a sign of low kidney yang qi, the energy that pushes warmth and vitality to the rest of the organs.

Surviving the storm

have to admit storms kind of bothered me when I was a little kid. OK, bother might not be quite strong enough of a word for how I felt about thunder and lightning and wind and heavy rain and....

But then terrified might be too strong a word too. Then again, maybe not. It’s difficult to remember everything from back in the day, it being a lot more back than it used to be, but I know I didn’t like them much at all.

My parents tried to help by saying thunder was just God moving his furniture around.

That kind of helped but didn’t really explain the lightning part and why did he do all his interior Glenn Mitchell decorating in the summertime?

And during one particularly memorable summer storm in Red Deer, I decided furniture on the Prairies must weigh a lot more because it sure was louder than back home.

Anyway Friday morning’s storm was the catalyst for all this fond, or maybe not so fond, recalling of memories from my childhood.

I have to admit I wasn’t so much scared when the storm hit at 5:30 a.m. as peeved that it was a full hour and a half before my man-made alarm clock goes off to get me going on a weekday.

I tossed and turned for awhile but the booms were pretty loud and the light show was playing itself out on my bedroom wall, although without my glasses it was kind of wasted on yours truly, not that I was keeping my eyes open at the time anyway.

So after a bit of cursing, and more tossing and turning, I thought I might as well go to the bathroom and then see if I can get at least another hour of sleep.

Alas, no. Now it was raining and the drops were dripping from the gutters I’ve been meaning to clean all summer, and last summer and....,

MitChEll’S MuSingS

so it was getting pointless to try and even sleep.

And then I realized the cat was outside and I debated over and over – What do I like more, sleep or Mischa, sleep or Mischa?

If I was actually sleeping the cat might have lost out – I know, I’m heartless – but I eventually gave up and went all the way downstairs to see if the little darling was OK. I turned the light on the deck and normally she’d be there wanting in at that time of the morning, not to mention wanting to be fed as well, but she was nowhere in sight.

I did not venture out into the pouring rain desperately seeking Mischa but I figured I gave it the old college try and that she must have found shelter somewhere, so I attempted to go back to bed. Again, I know I’m heartless.

But on the way back there was another flash of light and 15 seconds or so later (I was taught as a kid that every second or so counted for a mile, as in how far away the lightning was, but I have no idea if that is factual or not and it was before the metric system of course), so I thought if you can’t beat Mother Nature you might as well join her.

As in on the deck to take in the sights and sounds.

And it was a pretty good show. There was sheet lightning and fork lightning and enough good booms to put it up against any Canada Day fireworks display.

However, it may have been cool, but, of course, it was still too damn early for my liking.

After a few minutes, and too long between flashes and booms – us humans don’t have the patience for natural phenomenon, at least not this human at that time of day, although I probably should have made a cup of coffee and just got into it – I again tried to go back to sleep for the 23.5 minutes I had left before the alarm clock was set to go off.

I failed, miserably, maybe drifting off for the .5 part if I was lucky.

However, the good news is the cat came back for its 7 a.m. feeding, a little wet but no worse for wear, and certainly with its appetite intact.

With the average post-secondary student now accumulating $27,000 in loans, according to the Canadian Federation of Students, higher learning is becoming more out of reach.

What’s the solution? Let’s start with a conversation, such as the one happening south of the border right now. One so innovative that policy-makers in Canada should take note.

This summer the Oregon legislature agreed to study a trial program that would allow students to attend state universities with no money down. In other words, no tuition. The catch is students must contribute a set portion of their future income to the program — essentially paying for their debt.

Students would sign a binding contract to pay the state or the institution a certain percentage of their adjusted gross income for a specified number of years following graduation.

Lawmakers in Oregon were unanimous in agreeing to the study. And good on them.

The Oregon approach is not perfect. For example, the payback period could last over 20 years, a long time for people to continue paying schooling costs.

There’s likely also a significant up-front cost to the program for government.

But the cost of studying the idea is no doubt worthwhile.

Indeed, it removes financial lenders — and their interest and fees — from the equation. It also removes the penalty on students who choose to pursue lower-paid professions.

Government doesn’t have more money to boost the budgets of post-secondary institutions. Students are expected to take the hit. It might not be for everyone, but the Pay Forward, Pay Back program just might give the right students the right help at the right time.

Look up for highway solution

fter all of the talk about a bypass around Vernon, it will never happen in my lifetime. This council and future councils are not going to go that route because of the cost and I can see their point.

What is the solution?

The answer is an elevated highway starting at the DND grounds and terminating just past 48th Avenue.

The distance is 3.5 kilometres and this could be increased if needed. This would be only for traffic that would not be stopping in Vernon. There would be no need for traffic lights as this is one way on and off.

The cost would still be in the millions to build but nowhere near the cost of a bypass. There will be people who will not like it but this is happening in the cities and now it's a way of life.

Eric Foster and city council, let's grab the bull by the horns and let's run with this. roy burgess

vjh parking In reply to Barb Chapman, I recently had to visit the hospital because my toe was in need of treatment and was extremely sore and bleeding. In vain, I tried to get a ticket.

I tried four times with my credit card and no ticket.

Then I had to run around the hospital looking for the change machine in extreme pain all while hoping I did not miss my turn to go in. I put in the cash and guess what, no ticket. Another person was at the meter and was also having problems. I was just about to walk away and the machine spits out a ticket. Unbelievable.

I then proceeded back into the hospital.

I had missed my turn and a nice man who was also waiting mentioned they had called my name and I could go in. I received excellent care inside the hospital and was out in 30 minutes.

A few weeks later, I received my credit card bill and had been billed three times for the same parking ticket. I called them up and of course they made it out as my fault.

The woman on the end of the phone said I had to give the machine more time, so it’s not the machine, it’s myself and all of the other people who are the cause of the problem. She did refund two of the three charges even though I did pay four times. It was the pain and frustration I will remember most.

My advice is to park far away from the hospital on a residential street even though it is farther away. You will do less walking in the end and save money.

downtown meterS We were visiting Vernon a few weeks ago.

In the downtown area they have installed some new parking meters.

Did a giant install those? I have a picture of my husband who is five-foot-four standing on his toes trying to read the meter.

My girlfriend who lives in Vernon is five feet tall and didn't have a chance.

Anyway, we thought it was comical but stupid at the same time.

Just giving someone the heads up before they put them everywhere. kim Laporte Scooter Safety I do not understand why we have a community that is attacking longboarders when we have no one saying anything about the people on electric scooters.

When we have a bicycle or motorcycle, we are required by law to wear a helmet.

When we have a motorcycle, we are required to have a license. The law states we are not legally supposed to drive on sidewalks when we ride a bicycle or a motorcycle.

Why are there no laws in place for electric scooters?

I am a 58-year-old woman and I do know that I will be a senior soon and will maybe experience the loss of mobility or independence, or both.

But, because I am a senior, that doesn't give me the right to do whatever I want and rip around like a banshee on the sidewalks and have total disregard for pedestrians.

When we drive a car or a scooter, it is

a privilege, not a given and we should be grateful for that.

Electric scooters are one of the biggest reasons I do not shop in downtown Vernon.

Personally, I think there should be something done about this and helmets should be mandatory.

I do know a lot of people are not going to like what I have said, but that is the way I see it. gail Lapp bypaSS Re Mr. Smith's comments on a Vernon bypass.

He is quite right about Vernon spending money on being a destination point, rather then just a by-chance stop, with the new sports complex being a good start, which should generate a lot of money spent at local businesses That said, though, I feel we really need a bypass with all of the Highway 97 improvements, the growth in population and the huge increase in truck traffic compared to 50 years ago, plus the increase that's to come.

But, not on the west side of the lake.

Just come in from the south, somewhere between the Predator Ridge turn-off and the dump, up, over and down though the western part of town and out to the rail overpass north of town.

Yes, it will cost, but cheaper now then later as it will just cost more as time goes on.

As the highway is now federal as well as provincial, and the fed's own the DND

property, using a piece of it on the western boundary should help cut the cost.

But at the present, a pedestrian overpass on Hospital Hill would sure help.

With the weight and size the of the trucks being what they are today, we are very lucky that there haven't been people killed on that hill.

But mark my word, it's going to happen if we don't make some fixes soon. frank adams

THIS FALL,

Cosens Bay electricity sought richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Officials are undecided if they will support calls for electricity in a rural community.

A resident has asked the Electoral Area Advisory Committee to support a bid to have electricity extended into the Cosens Bay area south of Bob Fleming Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park.

“There was no decision made one way or the other on this,” said Bob Fleming, EAAC chairperson, of a possible letter of

support.

“The directors will wade through the documentation provided first.”

In her submission to EAAC, property owner Alice Klim says electricity is needed so there is better management of grey water and sewage disposal.

“We want to work with RDNO to ensure these properties are developed in a responsible way to ensure the quality of the lake is maintained and property values are preserved,” she said.

“We love the park and surrounding area and have invested heavily in being part of the solution, not the problem.”

Klim goes on to say that some groups have delayed protection of the area.

“We think it is absurd to think

TAKE TIME FOR YOUR HEALTH

power will hurt the park when there is a 250,000-voltage Fortis line carrying power over the area to Kelowna,” she said.

Fleming says he understands issues surrounding effluent disposal, but he says the addition of electricity may lead to more development and permanent residents when Cosens Bay was originally intended to be just for seasonal cabins.

“There are some property owners that do not share the same goals (as Klim) so we would have to balance all of the issues,” he said, adding that the Regional District of North Okanagan is currently in the midst of an official community plan review.

“It speaks to the overall vision of the entire area.”

Harbour project gets funds Vernon On-Line Learning kevin parnell Black Press

One of the only safe harbours on the east side of Okanagan Lake will continue its retrofit with a $150,000 funding announcement from the federal government.

Work will begin this fall to continue to improve the Okanagan Centre safe harbour, a break-water designed for boaters to hunker down in rough waters on Okanagan Lake.

It’s a much-needed safety measure on Okanagan Lake, the body of water responsible for Robert Hobson more deaths of any other lake in B.C. each year, according to Robert Hobson, chairman of the Regional District of Central Okanagan.

“The problem is Okanagan Lake can blow up in a storm very quickly and there are very few places for safe harbour,” said Hobson. ”There is increased demand for boat facilities (on the lake) and this money will start the process of finishing this safe harbour.”

The breakwater, located in the Okanagan Centre Safe Harbour Regional Park, was initially built in the 1970s using wooden materials. For the past 15 years, RDCO has been working to update the structure with work on the south side already completed and the expected work on the north side set for completion this year.

While the safe harbour is located in Lake Country (along Okanagan Centre Road West), the breakwater is a benefit to all users of Okanagan Lake. And with boat traffic not decreasing any time soon, making the water safer for everyone is key, according to Lake Country Mayor James Baker.

“This is an benefit for the whole region,” said Baker. “The harbour is full of boats in the summer. A

lot of visitors come to this area and this will make the lake safer.”

The funding was acquired under the federal government’s Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund.

It appears that communities are receiving a bang for their buck when it comes to library services.

Okanagan Regional Library is just wrapping up a financial audit.

“We want to see if the communities are getting value for money and the draft report says that on the whole, communities are getting out of it what they are putting into it,” said director Catherine Lord.

In June, the ORL board approved a value for money review of the organization, which has 29 branches and a $16 million annual budget.

It’s anticipated that the final results of the audit will be released this fall.

Beyond this, ORL is in the midst of an internal look at its organizational structure.

A Bold Little Project Swims Upstream in Affordably Going Green in Vernon, BC “We’d seen so many builds done that were slapped together without a lot of thought or care to the design, eco-friendliness or finishing that we really saw a need to do something bolder, thought through, artistic and green.

It was really out of a necessity to see something in our market that wasn’t just vanilla,” states Krystine McInnes, project manager of Gaia Green Living Townhomes in Vernon, BC, a small but mighty four-unit boutique attainable housing project.

Gaia Green Living is a rare bird in its market. A project where artful design comes first, artists are encouraged and included in the design process and green living is just a way of life. Some unique features are custom designed and fabricated metal entry doors by renowned artist Jock Hildebrand where the artist is inspired to create an original uniquely finished metalwork door for each of the homes. Handcrafted and individually finished walnut or fir wood top computer desk with airplane wire and metal finishing, a cool lofted den with unique hand-chosen drop pendant lighting, and in the main bath, a high-gloss white countertop waterfalls off the side, disappearing into the floor.

Even the placement of the light switches has been carefully planned out. All this, and these homes are PowerSmart Rated for energy efficiency. Unique ideas like edible landscaping, rain water collection for irrigation and the homes are wired for sound as well as for solar … how cool is that? Gaia has also teamed up with Nature’s Fare Market in Vernon to offer homeowners welcome packages and encourages alternative transportation, including E-scooters. Lower utility bills, lower mortgage payments, better quality of living andlong term resale value are the highlights of the project.

McInnes continues, “we are different and we hope the community and our future owners will really feel that, from our hearts to theirs. If we want a greener, brighter future, we have to start somewhere”.

YOU AND THE LAW YOUR NEW COMMERCIAL LEASE DEAL – SOME POINTERS

By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. Have you found a great property you want to lease for your office, store or industrial business?

Here are some pointers to help you save money and get the best deal.

Don’t be too quick to jump into rent and other negotiations with the landlord’s rep or listing agent. Consider engaging your own tenant’s rep to vet your options and help cut the deal.

Most major real estate brokerage firms have agents specializing in commercial leasing. An expert tenant’s agent with good negotiating skills will add value for you. He or she has access to computerized, broad-based current market information you don’t, such as the landlord’s competition, upcoming vacancies, going market rental rates and tenant inducements.

Remember that your lease is a key business asset (and obligation). It may also be important to a future buyer of your business, who will likely want to take over your lease.

to sign on to the landlord’s (not-yet-seen) form of lease, provided later. So if you sign the offer/agreement, but later don’t like what the landlord’s long, multi-page “standard” lease has in it, you may be stuck.

You should see your lawyer about your initial offer or agreement document before you sign anything. After review, your lawyer can help clarify and nail down any uncertain, unclear and sometimes even inconsistent provisions in it. Uncertainty as to important terms could jeopardize your lease deal altogether.

Your discussions may also bring to light new points that may lead to an improved deal with the landlord. For example, perhaps your landlord will accept a time-limit on any required personal guarantees, or agree to make it easier for you to transfer (“assign”) the lease to a future buyer of your business, by consenting to act reasonably here.

After initial negotiations, the landlord’s rep will likely give you You might also discuss trying a so-called “standard” document, to “cap” (put limits on) annual summarizing key business terms in certain expenses Dave Schaefer increases of your proposed deal. Usually you must share, lease renewal only a short few pages, it may rights/options, expansion (or be called a ”Standard Offer to contraction) rights for your space as your Lease” or “Standard Agreement to Lease.” business grows (or shrinks), relocation terms (if But don’t be fooled by the word “standard.” the landlord has a right to relocate you under Landlords often tailor-make these documents the agreement), the benefits of registering your (as well as their much longer leases) to protect lease at the land title office, and more – it all the landlord’s interests; they may be “standard” depends on your offer document and particular only for the particular landlord and property. situation.

So don’t rush into signing on the dotted line.

You’ll therefore want to have the document checked over by your lawyer first.

Bottom line? See your lawyer before you Also, the document may have a supposed sign any papers about your lease deal, or if you encounter problems under your lease “boiler-plate” clause that obligates the tenant arrangements afterwards.

Panthers’ program on the rise Graeme Corbett Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Panthers tasted provincial success at the junior varsity football level last season, and some of those same players are hoping to carry that momentum into their senior years at VSS. The Cats, who were semifinalists at last year’s B.C. junior boys championships, appear to have a nice blend of returnees and newcomers who have graduated into the senior boys AA program.

Sean Smith, who is entering his fifth year as head coach, likes what he has seen over the last few weeks of practice.

“We’re at a different level than what were at this time last year,” said Smith, who is assisted by Keith Johnston (offensive line coach), Jeff Collins (receivers and defensive backs), Tim Thorpe (defence) and Dave Tetrault (junior varsity head coach).

“We picked up right where we left off. I can bark out a play and guys are on it right away. We’ve got some good coaches working with us that are able get stuff in quick and teach them on the fly.

“We’ve got a lot of kids who are strong mentally, and who are pushing other kids in practice. Every rep, they’re forcing kids to do better and the level of play is picking up.”

Orchestrating the Panther offence this year will be Grade 11 quarterback John Garvie, who has a pair of solid tailbacks in Zac Kronbauer and Levi Nicholas who he can rely on for a solid ground game.

“He is one of the smartest, if not the smartest, quarterbacks that I’ve coached,” said Smith, of Garvie.

“He knows our system inside and out and it’s like having a coach on

the field.”

The Baby Panthers lost Kronbauer to injury for most of last season, but he returned in time for the playoff quarterfinals. He also plays cornerback.

A Grade 10 student who also plays linebacker, Nicholas will be a starter for both the junior and senior Panthers.

A trio of additions on the offensive line – Jaxon Toth, Braydon Lodder and Tyler Wiebe – should create some wiggle room for Vernon’s backs.

“We’ve got more depth than we’ve had since I’ve been here,” said Johnston, now in his fourth year. “As far as the line goes, we’ve got three or four extra guys that’ll feel comfortable stepping in any time, which has given us a lot of encouragement.

“The thing we’ve had to face in the past is running guys both ways. Come the fourth quarter, those guys are dogged and there’s not much we can do.”

Karson Patommel, a defensive end/fullback who transferred from the Kalamalka Lakers (neither Kal nor the Seaton Sonics are fielding a team this season), is a quiet leader on the field and will be a handful on either side of the ball.

“I wouldn’t want to line up across from him for four quarters,” said Smith.

Mitchell Pepper, a lanky wide receiver/ cornerback, brings speed and athleticism to the wideout position, while Travis Froom (guard/linebacker) has made huge strides since he attended spring camp and is primed to become the Cats’ leading tackler.

“He has a unique blend of strength and speed which makes him versatile enough to play a number of positions,” said Smith.

With only one local

Other entries in the Okanagan Conference include the Okanagan Mission Huskies of Kelowna, Mount Baker Trojans of Cranbrook, Salmon Arm Golds and a bunch of Kamloops-based teams – Valleyview Vikings, NorKam Saints, South Kamloops Titans and Westsyde Blue Wave.

“We’re going to have a tough time, but in the last couple of years we’ve had a lot of success provincially,” said Smith.

“Our goal to is expand and have a broader horizon.

“There’s three or four teams in our conference that are really tough, so we’ve got to be on it if we want to go anywhere in November.”

The Vernon Panthers used a potent ground game to rack up a 33-6 exhibition win over the Fulton Maroons in high school senior AA boys football action Friday afternoon.

Playing in a downpour at Grahame Park, the Panthers’ thunder-and-lightning combination of Karson Patommel (23 carries for 177 yards, four touchdowns) and Zac Kronbauer (26 carries for 133 yards, one TD) helped power the Cats to 342 total rushing yards.

“It was wet, sloppy and messy from the opening kick-off which, unfortunately, forced both teams to bury their aerial attacks and slug it out on the ground,” said Panthers’ head coach Sean Smith.

Fulton QB Tye Kitzman scored on a nine-yard run, which left the Maroons trailing 13-6 at the half.

The second half was all Vernon, with Kronbauer barging in from three yards in the third quarter, and Patommel scoring from 17 yards and one yard in the fourth.

“Defensively, we were solid from the opening kick-off to the final whistle,” said Smith. “We forced six turnovers and only had two plays run against us that I’d like to have back.

“The most impressive stat for me was that we had 14 different boys that made a tackle in the game.”

The Maroons are inexperienced this season, with half the team playing its first game Friday. Fulton head coach Mike Scheller is confident they will improve with time.

“Defensively, we played pretty good for most of the game, until they ground us down,” said Scheller. “Offensively, we were terrible. We turned the ball over in every possession in the second half.”

Scheller praised the efforts of defensive back Carson Deboer and middle lineback Trevor Feeney.

Smith credited offensive line coach Keith Johnston for make some halftime adjustments that opened up the VSS run game. Linemen Jaxon Toth, Braydon Lodder, Tyler Wieber, Tylar Onjukka and Brandon Melbourne were workhorses, helping Vernon eat up the clock and put up points.

The Panthers visit the Salmon Arm Golds Friday, while the Maroons are in Rutland to face the Voodoos.

Playing for the Terriers helped make the pro transition easier for Myron, who learned decisions need to be made quickly.

During the tournament, Myron is excited to hit the ice and prove he has done the right things during the summer. “I’ve worked hard, I’ve put on weight.

I have really worked on my game,� said Myron, who played for Canada West in the World Junior A Challege in 2011-12. “I have a lot to prove.�

BCHL commissioner John Grisdale said the number of grads playing in the tournament is a sign of the growth and quality of players coming for the junior A league. “I’m not surprised. I think there is a lot of players that could and should be involved in some of these camps,� he said. “If you look at our numbers, like last year we had 151 players playing in our league that had college education commitments.

Of those, 95 were new. Led by our coaches and our managers, and obviously our owners are doing a great job of continuing to improve the talent level of our players.�

Grisdale added the Canucks Young Stars Classic is a great opportunity for those kids to show what they can do. “I’m confident over time we will continue to provide more and more players.�

Bigos credits his former Vipers’ coach for his development. “I think if I didn’t come to the BCHL in Vernon with coach Mark Ferner, I don’t think I would have developed the way I did or as much success as I’ve had so far,� said the towering six-foot-four, 235-pound defenceman, drafted in the fourth round,

99th overall by Edmonton in 2009. “It’s a skill league. A very competitive league. It showed me what I needed to do to get to the next level.�

Bigos, who won an RBC Cup championship with the Vipers in 2008-09 and earned the Roland Mercier Trophy as RBC Cup MVP, as well as the Top Defenceman Award, said while with the Vipers he improved his skating and hockey sense. “Midgets, you can kind of get away with skill here and there, but at the next level, especially juniors, if you don’t play within the system, and improve on your individual skills, especially skating and the way you move and pass the puck, you are not going to be successful at the next level,� he said.

Bigos added the four years he spent with the Merrimack College Warriors, located 25 miles north of Boston, was amazing. It was another step up. “It’s so much harder to get every inch of ice and every pass through,� he said. “It prepares you for the next level as well.�

Bigos, who was dealt to the Sharks on July 16, is looking forward to the competition. Their first game was against Vancouver’s prospects on Thursday. The Sharks took on the Winnipeg Jets on Friday. “Everyone is going to be fighting for every inch to prove themselves to get a contract and a spot on the big team,� said Bigos, who is motivated to play in the NHL and avoid working a 9-5 job. “That’s always going to push your game up to the next level. That will make you play the best hockey you have played so far. I’m looking forward to reaching a new level.�

Team roping event on tap Morning Star Staff

After a tune-up session by one of the best in the business, Louis Estates is set to host a team roping rodeo event next weekend at its arena on Westside Road.

The event, sanctioned by the B.C. Team Roping Association, is free to spectators and goes Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The arena is roughly six kilometres from the north end of Westside Road.

Louis Estates recently hosted a team roping school, presented by Ricky Green, a former National Finals Rodeo and World champion team roper.

Green, a Texan who operates Power Team Roping, has been teaching the art of roping for more than 30 years.

The one-day event went for eight hours and covered the foundations of roping technique, including heading and heeling.

“We were fortunate to have him at our arena, and we’re looking forward to doing another school in 2014,” said Bobby Louis.

Louis Estates also plans to host other provincial and high school rodeo events next season, including their third annual Lucky 7 Team Roping event next May. To register for the team roping, or for more information about Louis Estates, phone 250-542-4527, or e-mail louisestates@hotmail.com.

M&M Meat Shops is encouraging Canadians to embrace the tradition of the family dinner.

On Thursday, Sept. 19, M&M Meat Shops is asking Canadians to take time out of their busy schedules to participate in the ninth annual National Family Dinner Night.

A recent national study completed for M&M Meat Shops reveals that fewer families are making family meal time part of their daily lives. Nearly 10 per cent of Canadians say that they never have dinner with their partner or their family, and fewer than 40 per cent sit down with their family for a daily meal.

In younger generations, the decline of the family dinner night tradition is even more pronounced.

Only 33 per cent of Canadians aged 18 to 34 regularly take part in a family dinner night.

“It’s not a surprise that Canadians aren’t as likely as they once were to sit down to a traditional, nightly, family dinner,” said Mac Voisin, founder of M&M Meat Shops. “Canadians are busier than ever before and with so many responsibilities it can be hard to find quality family time.

“National Family Dinner Night encourages families and friends to take time out of their busy schedules and reconnect over a meal.”

Sandler expands training platform Morning Star Staff

Sandler Training is set to expand its training program delivery to Interior communities via distance learning.

“We have primarily provided our training programs to clients based in the Thompson-Okanagan via our training centre in Kelowna,” said Vernon’s John Glennon, a trainer with Sandler.

“We have had increasing demand for our programs from clients in other B.C. Interior locations, however, the reality with the size of the B.C. Interior is that travel and attendance was an obstacle to overcome.”

Sandler successfully beta tested delivering training via a blended use of web, phone and online support, will begin offering the programs this fall.

Core programs on offer include strategic management solutions, presidents club sales training and strategic customer care.

“While globally Sandler Training works with companies of all sizes, and in all types of industries, our sweet spot here in the B.C. Interior is smallto-medium-sized enterprises,” said Glennon. “We work with companies of all shapes and sizes. The common denominator is how serious they are to change, compete and grow. That is the difference.”

recently risen, you may have to offer your bond at a price lower than its face value.

For the most part, stocks are purchased for their growth potential (although many stocks do offer income, in the form of dividends), while bonds are bought for the income stream provided by interest payments.

Ideally, though, it is important to build a diversified portfolio containing stocks, bonds, guaranteed income certificates (GICs), government securities and other investments designed to meet your goals and risk tolerances. Diversification is a strategy designed to help reduce the effects of market volatility on your portfolio; keep in mind, however, that diversification, by itself, can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

Risk versus reward – All investments carry some type of risk. Stocks and bonds can decline in value, while investments such as GICs can lose purchasing power over time. One important thing to keep in mind is that, generally, the greater the potential reward, the higher the risk.

Setting goals – As an investor, you need to set goals for your investment portfolio, such as providing resources for retirement or helping pay for your children’s college education.

Know your own investment personality – Everyone has a different investment personality.

Some people can accept more risk in the hopes of greater rewards, while others are not comfortable with risk at all. It’s essential that you know what your comfortable with when you begin investing, and throughout your years as an investor.

Investing is a long-term process – It generally takes decades of patience, perseverance and good decisions for investors to accumulate the substantial financial resources they’ll need for their long-term goals.

By keeping these concepts in mind as your begin your journey into the investment world, you’ll be better prepared for the twists and turns you’ll encounter along the way as you pursue your financial goals.

You may need to alter some of the variables in your life in order to ease stress and avoid loss in the year ahead. The right move could bring high returns, but temptation could cost you dearly. Learn from your past mistakes and use your head at all times.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Do something you enjoy or spend time with a person likely to make you laugh.

Avoid stressful situations that can limit you physically or financially. Focus on success, not revenge.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Get involved in something that challenges you.

Someone you encounter will give you an interesting point of view concerning a project you are considering.

Explore new friendships.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Do the legwork and find out all you can before pursuing someone or something that may not be as it appears.

False information or perceptions will lead to disappointment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Your charm will entice someone you want to get to know better. Make plans that will allow you to show off your smarts and skills, but refrain from overspending or overindulging.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Draw from your varied and colorful experience and find a way to use your fund of knowledge to explore new avenues. An unusual idea will interest you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You should adapt to shifting trends and make the most of whatever situation you face. You will attract someone as spirited as you, who will want to travel down the same path.

Make your journey count.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll find it easier to deal with life’s many demands if you take better care of yourself. Working hard can be good, but not at the expense of your health.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Look for new ways to use your skills. A change in the way you earn your living could prove to be a turning point. Aim to do your best.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Take a look at interesting investments and pursue the one that seems the best.

Reopen doors that may have been closed in the past, and you will prosper.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) A partnership will be on shaky ground if you overreact. Question your reasoning before you take action. You should focus on personal improvement before you complain about others.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Don’t make personal changes that could alter your looks without serious thought. Take the path of least resistance until you know you can achieve positive results.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Protect your reputation.

Uncertainty regarding your status and personal relationships will cause confusion. Ask questions and let your intuition help you make the right choice.

Choose love and equality.

Hormones Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy.

What can I do?

A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Another Happy Customer …

Just back from visiting Vernon (Silver Star) with Australian friends, we picked up some of your Tomato Basil sauce at the Mediteranian Market in Vernon and all really enjoyed it.

Brought the remainder home and tonight we finished it, now we wonder where we might find some more here in Victoria. Do you happen to know what store might stock your product here?

After numerous holidays in Italy, I’ve always taken pride in making my own pasta sauces but must say I’d be hard pressed to match what you have made on a commercial scale. Awesome!

“It can also affect anyone, anywhere of any age, gender and culture.”

Tuesday is World Suicide Prevention Day. This year, the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention has chosen the theme “Hope and Resiliency at Home and Work.”

The campaign is intended to give families and employees the tools they need to thrive and be safer by strengthening connections, promoting conversations about mental wellness, and knowing how we can help protect and care for each other during times of crisis.

“Many suicides are preventable,” said Jenny Turco, community health facilitator with the Interior Health Authority.

“Suicide prevention is a shared responsibility. We all have the potential to make a difference and save a life.

If someone you know is feeling suicidal, it is important to know that help is available.”

The Interior Crisis Line Network is part of the 1-800-SUICIDE (784-2433) network and provides Interior Health residents with aroundthe-clock access to telephone support when they need assistance managing personal concerns.

The toll-free number is 1-888-353-CARE (2273).

Other services are available to residents through local mental health and substance use services, family physicians, and emergency services.

Online support through websites such as www.crisiscentre. bc.ca or youthinbc. com/ is also available.

“Everyone can benefit from the help and support of their family, friends, and community during difficult times,” said Turco.

“Suicide prevention begins with our willingness to recognize the signs of suicide and talk openly about it.

Once you have a feeling that someone might be thinking about suicide, it is important to ask them as directly, clearly, and as soon as possible.”

Police and ICBC are launching a monthlong campaign to deter distracted driving, the third leading cause of fatal car crashes in the province after speed and impaired driving.

Driver distraction is blamed as a factor in 91 fatalities province-wide each year.

Transportation ministry officials estimate drivers are four times likelier to crash when talking on a hand-held phone while driving and 23 times more likely to be in a crash if texting.

Enforcement by officers handing out $167 fines will be stepped up throughout September, according to police.

“Driving is a complex task that requires your full attention,” said Mark Blucher, interim president of ICBC. “When you’re distracted behind the wheel your reaction time is significantly reduced. Distracted driving is a common cause of rear-end crashes and injuries – there is no safe following distance when your mind is not on the road.”

Finding a way to heal the pain cara brady Morning Star Staff

Suicide can be the loneliest death for those left behind. Kim Cunliffe lost her son, Darin Cunliffe, to suicide three years ago.

“He was incredibly happy, loving and funny, popular with everyone and involved in sports. He had a few difficulties with normal life challenges but he was just a regular teenager. He was everyone’s smile every day,” she said.

“It was a complete shock. There were no signs. I still look at his photo and think that of all people, he was the least likely to do something like this. I don’t think he understood the finality of it.”

The support of family and close friends helped Cunliffe even though she felt frozen, like she was putting on a mask each day.

“Family and friends held me up when I couldn’t hold myself up. My other children became my strength and my purpose,” she said. “Suicide is a grief unlike any other grief. I have lost other family members but it was not like this. I felt alone, even stigmatized. I realized I needed more help, and when I heard about a grief retreat specifically for people who have lost someone to suicide, I knew I had to go.”

The Sunrise Grief Retreat Society, which also holds retreats for other grief losses, is a non-profit society which offers the retreats with professional facilitators, many of them volunteers.

Cunliffe attended the four-day retreat last fall.

“At first, I felt unsure and anxious but I knew it was exactly where I should be. I had so many questions and unresolved feelings. I knew I had been a good mother but I should have known, even though there were no signs. That was one of the hardest things,” she said.

Barb Schimpl, one of the retreat facilitators, said grief for suicide is one of the most complicated griefs.

“There can be more guilt, shame, blame and anger. There was no opportunity to say goodbye and it feels like total rejection. The survivors are left with so many unanswerable questions,” she said.

Cunliffe knew that the retreat would be part of the healing that would allow her to remember her son in a healthy way, honour his life and find a way to help others.

“I felt safe in this beginning of my walk through the wilderness to find a sense of peace. I was so relieved to find that I was not alone and I keep the connections with the people I met there. Family and friends are vital but there is a completely different feeling there,” she said. “There is fear. You don’t want to make that call but it’s the best call you ever make.”

She benefited from the group sessions and the expressive therapies with health professionals, as well as the massage therapy, healing touch and mindfulness meditation available to participants.

“The healing touch was so amazing and powerful. I felt connected and released. It was a gift to my soul. There’s such compassion in the staff. I also liked the letter writing to the ones we had lost,” said Cunlifffe. “I’m not sure what direction I’m going at times but it’s forward with my toolbox in hand and I don’t have to walk alone.”

People who are interested in attending the Sunrise Grief Retreat for those who have experienced a loss from suicide (Nov. 1-5) should contact Schimpl at bgreifretreat@gmail. com or 250-307-7850. She will talk with people to help them decide if it is the right time for them to attend. For more

Kim Cunliffe (right) is still left wondering why after the suicide of her son, Darin, three years ago. There are two programs for suicide survivors this fall, the Sunrise Grief Retreat Society focusing on loss to suicide and Healing After Suicide Loss. information, see www.sunrisegriefretreat.org.

Anyone who has had a loss through suicide can also consider attending the Healing After Suicide Loss support group hosted by the Suicide Prevention Committee of Vernon. Support groups are facilitated by trained professionals and peers and offer eight weeks of weekly support meetings at no cost.

“We felt there has been a need in the community and we were able to get the training this spring,” said Betty Bates, facilitator, with Sharon Durant, of the support groups.

“All of us who did the training felt it was profound and that we could bring that feeling of a safe place to come and share stories and healing to the groups. Each experience is personal and people can participate at their own pace.”

The groups will include expression exercises, writing and art, empathetic listening, all in a non-judgmental atmosphere. There will be information on what is normal in grief after suicide.

“Suicide can be such a silent grief with so much stigma and misconception around it. Survivors can feel very alone.

Sometimes they find the second year after is even harder than the first but that is individual too. The support groups do not support professional therapy but are a healthy addition on a journey of healing. It’s a real honour to be able to offer this to the community,” said Bates.

For more information about the Healing After Suicide Loss support groups, running weekly Sept. 25 to Nov. 14, and to pre-register, call Durant at 250-542-3114 (ext. 212).

For 24/7 support call the Crisis Line at 1-888-353-2273 or 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433).

World Suicide Prevention Day

Sept. 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day, a day to remember, reflect and reach out.

It is a day to reflect on a significant issue not only world-wide but in the community.

Suicide is often a culmination of factors that bring an individual to act on thoughts of suicide. Those factors may be around loss: loss of finances, relationships, loved ones including pets, traumatic events, addiction or mental health issues.

The impact on those left behind is significant and far-reaching. The stigma that surrounds suicide keeps people alone with their grief and that grief is complex and often involves unanswered questions, misplaced feelings of guilt and burden. Support is essential in dealing with those feelings, and seeking professional help is an important step on the road to healing.

If you or someone you know is struggling in any way, reach out for help. If it is someone you are concerned about, it is OK to ask that person if they are having thoughts of suicide. Give them the gift of your time and ears. It is important to accept the way someone is feeling and don’t judge them for feeling the way they do. You can call the Crisis Line 24/7 and ask who can help, go to the hospital or connect with Mental Health services.

Vanderhaeghe talks hormones Qualified Teachers Needed

Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff

The Junction Literacy Centre in Vernon provides one-on-one and small group tutoring services to children and youth whose families cannot afford such help.

Paid teachers work with referred students two to three times a week. Teachers who prefer to volunteer are also welcome. This is rewarding work if you are retired, oncall, a new grad, or working part time.

Lack of energy, weight gain and hot flashes are just a few of the many complaints women have as they go through menopause.

But L or na Vanderhaeghe said there are a number of things women can do to help sail through menopause with a minimum of symptoms.

natural health experts, Vanderhaeghe is bringing her expertise to Vernon on Wednesday, with a free lecture at the Schubert Centre on the topic, “Everything you need to know about hormones.”

Open a women’s magazine, flip on the TV and hormones are a hot topic. The reason, said Vanderhaeghe, is simple.

“It’s the first time in history we’ve had more women over the age of 50 than under the age of 50 — it’s the largest group of women to go through menopause at the same time,” she said.

“At the same time, the average doctor visit is seven minutes long, so it is challenging to treat a woman’s hormone problems, which can often be complicated.”

Vanderhaeghe has been researching nutritional medicine for more than 30 years and has degrees in nutrition and biochemistry. She is the author of 11 books, including her latest, A Smart Woman’s Guide to Hormones, written with Dr. Alvin Pettle, a Toronto gynecologist.

She said hormones have been a hot topic for a number of years, when the safety of synthetic hormones was called into question.

The Women’s Health Initiative was a study that was supposed to put to rest the debate about the safety of

Lorna Vanderhaeghe synthetic Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for women.

“This was a big clinical trial they halted in 2002, using synthetic hormones, and it brought the whole treatment into question because they found that in fact synthetic hormones are not safe and that they posed a significant health risk to women, increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke and/or breast cancer.”

In A Smart Woman’s Guide to Hormones, Vanderhaeghe and Pettle offer a straightforward guide to teach women how to balance hormones, which tests they should have at the doctor’s office, what those tests mean, whether they need hormones or not and what foods can create hormone havoc.

In her lecture, Vanderhaeghe will offer women information on the following: how to stop hot flashes and night sweats; how stress affects weight gain; treating endometriosis, PMS, fibroids, ovarian cysts and more; what

When I first heard of the Vitry Nail Products, I was very impressed and couldn’t wait to try the Nail Strengthener. My nails have not looked this healthy for a long time!

nutrients help you sleep; low thyroid and your hormones; the secret to halting bladder incontinence; how to stop hair loss; the secret to beautiful skin; how to get your energy back; how to use bioidentical hormones safely; and more.

“When we look at hormone problems — and they start young by the way — if you have period problems and acne in your 20s, these are signs that your hormones are out of balance.”

Vanderhaeghe said it comes down to recognizing hormone imbalance early and dealing with it.

“But what I’m there to talk about is how quickly we can fix it; we can use diet, lifestyle and nutritional and herbal remedies.”

Vanderhaeghe said it’s not just physical symptoms women are dealing with in menopause: anxiety and panic attacks, mood swings, irritability and depression, loss of libido and adrenal fatigue are also common complaints.

Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life, but with a busy western lifestyle, many women are hit hard by this change.

“We are under huge stress, menopause itself is stressful; and your adrenals are the backup hormone system, so if you’ve been going crazy during your 20s, 30s and 40s and expect to keep going in your 50s, it’s not going to work.

“But if we support and nourish our adrenals, we’re going to have less hormone issues; the adrenals and thyroid speak to each other.

“The key message is we can fix all of this, easily and safely.”

Vanderhaeghe said 80 per cent of women

can treat their hormone problems using diet and lifestyle, while a few will need short-term bioidentical hormones.

She offers three lifestyle tips: walk for 30 minutes per day — take more time for yourself; drink less coffee, caffeinated beverages and alcohol; sleep eight hours per night and say no to extra requests.

Weight gain is on many women’s minds and Vanderhaeghe said it’s essential for women to make some changes when they hit their 40s.

“Women will say ‘I haven’t changed anything and I’m gaining this weight and I can’t get it off my belly.’ But when we hit 40 we do have to change things; estrogen is what gives you your curves, your estrogen went up as you developed.

“But in the perimenopause years your estrogen is surging, so you get belly fat; it blocks your thyroid and makes your metabolism go slower, low thyroid lowers the body’s ability to burn calories.”

And yes, she said it comes down to what you put in your body: and processing grains becomes more difficult for women as they age.

“I’m not saying you can never eat pasta again, or enjoy that glass of wine but you really do have to limit those things to control blood sugar, keeping our estrogen and other hormones in balance if you want to lose that belly fat.

“But we still want to continue to enjoy our lives and live our lives.”

Vanderhaeghe’s lecture is presented by Simply Delicious in Vernon and takes place Wednesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Schubert Centre, 3505-30th Ave.

Q: A:

Why does my pet require a series of vaccinations when they are babies?

Vaccinations are given to stimulate your puppy or kitten’s immune system and help fight off certain bacteria or disease.

While nursing, your pet’s mother gave him or her some disease fighting antibodies but upon reaching a certain age (puppies between six and 12 weeks and nine weeks for a kitten) these antibodies start to diminish. When the antibodies are gone, it is up to you and your veterinarian, to provide that protection through vaccinations.

Vaccinations protect your pet from many infectious diseases which can be serious or even fatal. By helping to avoid disease, vaccination enhances your pet’s quality of life. In addition, some infectious diseases, like rabies also affect people, so vaccinating your pet also protects you and your family.

There is series of three primary vaccinations beginning at eight weeks, and then boosters at 12 and 16 weeks. It is important to maintain the timing of the boosters to ensure sustained level of recognition and protection.

Talk to your veterinarian about the best vaccination regime for your pet.

Words from the man who should know Canada’s handyman Red Green offers from relationship advice to how to unclog your drain on his new tour, How to Do Everything Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

It’s true, men don’t read instructions — just ask that sage philosopher who wears the fishermen’s hat, plaid shirt and red and green suspenders.

As the former overseer of Possum Lodge, handyman Red Green is known for his advice, words that have stuck in the Canadian vernacular (i.e. “If women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy,” and “keep your stick on the ice.”)

But instead of waxing on about beer and stick handling, he’s like the Bob and Doug McKenzie of duct tape.

He puts that “stuff ” on everything.

Known as North America’s champion of underachieving men everywhere, Red Green will soon return to Vernon when he brings his current show, How To Do Everything (From the Man Who Should Know), to the Performing Arts Centre Sept. 23.

“If something breaks, I never feel it is beyond my capacity to fix it,” said Red when talking to The Morning Star.

“I never get on the phone to call anyone. I think it makes us men feel weaker. That’s why guys won’t call the repairman.”

There’s a shared DIY DNA between Green and the man who invented him, Steve Smith, who first embodied the beloved handyman character in 1991 for the New Red Green Show.

Both men tend to embark on their own projects. (Who could forget Green’s self-made jetpack made from two propane tanks, a hybrid car from recycled golf carts and satellite dishes, and a kiddie ride from a bar stool attached to the agitator of a washing machine?)

“There’s all of him in me and more to me than is in all in him,” said Smith, citing one example. “I like to invent things and our house has a flat roof and lots of trees. The drain was plugging because of all the leaves, so I ran three pipes and attached them to the drain. I look out my window all the time and see things I can do.”

However, unlike Green, there was no duct tape involved.

Last seen on TV in 2006, as well as in the movie, Duct Tape Forever, Red Green (and Smith) have kept their brand of observational humour out there through different means: mainly social media. And there’s also the three books, including his last, Red Green’s How To Do Everything,which is about to be followed this month by the aptly titled, Red Green’s Beginner’s Guide to Women (For Men Who Don’t Read Instructions).

Noted for his insights into that most difficult of assem-

red Green, aka steve smith, returns to the Vernon Performing arts Centre sept. 23 with his new show and some sage advice in How to Do Everything (From the Man who Should Know.) bly jobs, human relationships, How to Do Everything had Red Green dipping his toe into the self-help genre with such items as “How to make dinner more romantic” and “The easy way to raise children.”

“I have brand, new material this year. I was enlightened by my first tour to share the things I am interested in and the things I am not interested in,” said Green/Smith.

And that includes his new book, said to be a testosterone owner’s manual to every aspect of finding a mate and then learning to deal with her growing disappointment.

Within its pages, Red waxes wise about teen dating to the last words of man (“You know, honey, in the last couple of years, you’ve really packed on the beef.”)

That work ethic and rather confident demeanor goes back to the man who created Red Green and still embodies his rough-as-sandpaper voiced everyman persona.

Originally a student of engineering at the University of Toronto, Smith had a variety of jobs before he landed his first self-made gig in showbiz back in 1979 when wrote, produced and starred in the sketch comedy series, Smith & Smith with his wife of 46 years, Morag.

Historical O’Keefe Ranch SEPTEMBER is

Local Appreciation Month All local residents can enjoy a “2 for 1” admission for the Ranch and the Corn Maze.

The family sitcom, Me and Max, followed as well as another sketch comedy series and writing for several Canadian and American TV shows, but it was the arrival of Red Green that would take Smith to greener pastures, otherwise known as Possum Lodge, for 15-plus years on TV. Asked how long he will continue to embody his alter ego, Smith says there are no limits to Red Green’s infinite wisdom, and if that means the handyman has to stop fixing things for a second to send out a “tweet” or two, then the sky’s the limit.

“I created the character —it came from within— and I feel I can say and do anything as Red Green,” said Smith.

“Honestly, I think my brand awareness is higher now than when the show was on, thanks to social networking, Facebook to Twitter... I can say this is what Red Green thinks now. He’s a little more enlightened, but you should never feel sorry for him.”

The Red Green How to Do Everything Tour takes the stage at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Sept. 23 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $62 (all ages) at the Ticket Seller, 549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

Bear Valley’s Barbara Fresz. “The teaching space is a 32-foot diameter yurt with a glass dome and log rafters in a spectacular setting with the Monashee Mountains in full view.”

As in the past, Bear Valley is offering threeto-five-day retreats with artists from all over Canada.

Gaye Adams will kick off this year’s program with a plein air class Sept.

20 to 22, followed by one with James Postill, the recent artist in residence at the Mackie House, Sept. 27 to 29.

Next year includes classes with Dominik Modlinski, Jean Pederson, Linda Kemp, Cecilia Juergens and William Rogers coming from as far as Nova Scotia.

“It is a great opportunity for artists of all levels to experience a relaxing retreat where everything is taken care of while immersing themselves in the painting process,” said Fresz.

The courses are open to all levels and accommodation will be in log chalets on site with all meals (homecooked and organic) provided. Classes can also be booked without accommodation.

Vernon band debuts music video Morning Star Staff

Vernon band Paperboy is about to make its music video debut on Telus Optik.

The band won the opportunity after entering the Telus-backed Public Records Summer 2013 Music Fund, which awarded grants of up to $5,000 for musicians and filmmakers to make their own videos.

The video, for the title single off Paperboy’s upcoming album, El Scorpiones, was filmed and produced by local photographer-videographer Lee Watkins.

“We were a little apprehensive submitting for a music video grant.

So far we have no visual presence as a band, which we thought would be a huge detriment to us. However, we were tickled pink when they announced that we’d won the prize,” said Luke Mortenson, Paperboy’s guitarist/lead vocalist, when the award was first announced.

He joins Braeden Otter on bass, and Cameron Lutz on drums/percussion in the band.

The finished music videos are currently being aired in a four episode series on Telus’ Optik TV On Demand, with the episode featuring Paperboy airing this week.

Public Records will also be promoting the videos individually over the course of the month, and the artists will retain full rights to the videos they have created as a part of the project.

“We started Public Records to help foster and promote the careers of emerging artists.

Basically we saw a gap in the music industry and decided to work towards filling it. This video launch is a dream fulfilled for us – and we’re so proud of all of the artists,” said Public Records co-founder Tony Yacowar.

“The artists have really become like family to us. It has been an amazing journey for all of us, and we’re excited for the rest of Canada to see what the West Coast has to offer,” added cofounding partner Dan Costello.

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist chris shideler

exercise like swimming, jogging and cycling are aerobic because the muscles demand a continuous stream of oxygen to burn the energy stored in their cells. strengthtraining exercises like weight-lifting are considered non-aerobic since the energy is derived mainly from biochemical reductions not oxygen. But both types of exercises are important to good health.

Obesity research is going in the direction of the microchip. in the future, it is hoped that a microchip can be implanted in the vagus nerve. This nerve sends hunger signals to the brain. The chip may be able to send another message to override the vagus message, and, in essence, control appetite. still a little way in the future. in canada, over 3 million women and one million men suffer from migraine headaches. sixty per cent have more than one attack per month. One of the many triggers of migraine headaches is dehydration. You can avoid that trigger by drinking more water and limiting caffeine intake. simple things but just may help.

Pharmacists and doctors encourage you to take most antibiotic medication for a set length of time. it is based on research on how long it takes to eradicate an infection. This varies with the bacteria and the antibiotic. so to get the most out of your antibiotic prescription, take it for the number of days the doctor orders.

As your pharmacist, our job is to make sure you understand how to get the most from your medication.

We’ll reinforce important information so, as in the case of infection, you’ll get better more quickly.

Sci-fi comedy sets the bar high

W

The world’s end

hen they graduated high school in 1990, five friends celebrated by attempting to complete “The Golden Mile,” which is a 12 pub crawl in their sleepy English town. They were unable to complete it and eventually went their separate ways, shaping their adult lives.

Now that they’re all in their 40s, Gary King (Simon Pegg) decides to get the gang back together to attempt the pub crawl again and this time sucTaylor and Howe ceed. Reluctantly, the other four (Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine and Eddie Marsan) agree to set their busy lives aside to reunite with each other. Along the way they discover their town is the hub of a mysterious group of creatures, plotting to take over the world.

We say, “The circle is complete.”

TAYLOR: I’m a big fan of the Pegg and Frost movies, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. It would only be fair to include director Edgar Wright, as the three men together made what is now the unrelated trilogy that follows a successful formula of their own creation.

Dead, Fuzz and now The World’s End all have a unique, punchy style that pits ordinary blokes against a world gone mad. This new film, however, draws out a new depth that includes a very strong ensemble cast, real world problems like alcoholism and is more realistic than the first two. This realism doesn’t detract from the laughs and for fans of all things British, particularly those of us who are in our early 40s, the film is a trip down memory lane, to all things awesome.

HOWE: There are a few similarities between this and Shaun of the Dead (the pubs, getting chased by someone or something.) Also, the film is very funny and I laughed a lot. It certainly is a blast from the past: the awesome soundtrack (Soul II Soul and The Housemartins to just name a couple), pints of Foster’s lager and the classic Ford Cortina Ghia.

Fantastic.

TAYLOR: The second half of the film, when the weird stuff starts happening, amps up the pace.

The laughs come fast and furious, as the now quite inebriated gang attempts to simultaneously complete their pub crawl, while solving the mystery of what is going on in their town. The science fiction aspect of the film is kind of unique and fun as well, but in the end it turns out to be a bit disposable, a bit silly. I’m

HOWE: World’s End is a fun movie, and Pegg and company do a great job making you feel like you are there with them along for the ride: downing pint after pint, reminiscing about the ‘90s, getting sillier by the minute. Just a word of warning, there’s a lot of classy British working class language.

INDIA - “Roko!

Roko!” (Stop! Stop!) our guide hisses urgently to the driver of our Jeep. Moving shadowlike through a bamboo thicket by the forest road, is the animal I’ve travelled half way around the globe to see: a magnificent tigress.

She is trailed by four half-grown cubs.

We are in Bandhavgarh, a tiger reserve in Madhya Pradesh at the very heart of India. According to the Lonely Planet guide book, this is the one Indian wildlife reserve where visitors are almost guaranteed to see a tiger. Almost, but not necessarily always.

For two successive mornings, our group of three have boarded a waiting jeep at the Nature Heritage Resort in the dawn-blushed morning, and set off on safari. Bandhavgarh, at that hour, is alive with activity.

The rising sun shafts through the Sal forests and bamboo clumps and as we bump over rough jungle pathways,

A tigress growls at a group of visitors who invade her space in Bandhavgarh, a 437-square-kilometre reserve in Mashya Pradesh, India. families of spotted deer graze unperturbed, a group of hairy wild boars trot off snorting contemptuously, and tribes of black-faced langur monkeys survey us with great curiosity.

The forest is filled with bird song, even the hoot of a white owl as he looks thoughtfully down at us. Camera shutters click as we come upon a peacock his tail feathers spread in magnificent display, dancing to woo

The driver steers the jeep in reverse, keeping the tigress and her cubs in sight. Then, at the edge of an open field, a dramatic scene unfolds.

The tigress, muscles rippling, bursts out of the forest cover, and shoots like a raging tawny streak towards a cluster of vultures.

Feathers a-flutter the birds take wing, and the

tigress halts over the remains of her (earlier) kill.

I almost stop breathing as she stares intently at us…and then, as though shrugging us off as inconsequential, she walks back to her cubs standing half hidden on the fringe of the forest.

“Wow,” I whisper.

Awestruck, my companions nod dumbly.

For the next hour we continue driving through the jungle. We pass by strangler vines which like enormous pythons twine themselves around sal tree trunks, when suddenly from the leafy canopy above comes the urgent whoop of a langur.

ters our guide. “That’s a warning call. We stiffen.

Sure enough, at a fork in the trail ahead, we spot a second tigress strolling with her two small cubs, cute little balls of yellow-andblack striped wool, at her heels. We are no more than 20 yards away, and she bares her teeth in a growl as she glares at us. We halt.

She halts too while her cubs, unfazed, frolic around her. She hesitates and then crosses the pathway and with the cubs in tow, strides into a copse of spindly bamboo shoots.

Half-an-hour later, we round a bend and there, blending into the striped sunlight filtering across the pathway, is a tigress sitting nonchalantly in the middle of the road; her two small cubs play among the trees fringing the road, barely a stone’s throw away from us. Our driver daringly edges closer.

There’s a heart-thumping moment as she tenses and stands up, tail twitching, ears flicking and begins to stride towards us, a menacing low growl in her throat.

“Peechay, peechay!” (back up! back up!) barks our guide. We are uncomfortably aware that our jeep is an open vehicle and vulnerable to the big cat’s pounce.

We reverse and the tigress halts. She snarls once more for effect, and then goes in search of her cubs.

They emerge from the trees, and the three of them cross the road and disappear into the jungle; but not before one of the cubs peeks curiously at us through the fork of a tree trunk, and I capture it on camera.

In the space of two hours, we’d seen three adult tigers and eight little cubs. A matter of being in the right place at the right time. And for me, the thrill of a lifetime.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder KEEP EQUAL LENGTH WITH THE DUMMY Josh Billings, whose real name was Henry Wheeler Shaw, said, “As a general rule, if you want to get at the truth, hear both sides and believe neither.”

Then what do you do?

Take half of each? Weird!

Bridge is full of “truisms,” but there always seem to be exceptions to these adages.

However, this deal features one with a remarkable record of reliability. What is it?

South is in three notrump. West leads the diamond king. What should happen, assuming West keeps plugging away at diamonds?

North’s takeout double was very light. South’s three

no-trump promised 13-15 points with diamonds held and, in principle, denied a four-card major; it was a realistic choice.

After South ducked the first two rounds of diamonds, West could have shifted to clubs to defeat the contract. But that was hardly obvious. It was normal to continue with the diamond four, his lowest being a suitpreference signal for clubs.

After declarer discarded a club from the dummy, what should East have thrown?

At the table, East pitched a heart. Now South ran the heart 10 and cashed her four heart winners. What should East have thrown this time?

East broke a key rule for a second time when she

discarded a spade. That allowed South to take four spade tricks and nine in all.

East forgot to keep equal length with the dummy.

While the board retained four cards in each major, East had to do the same, discarding clubs. Then three no-trump would have failed.

“Bert” Egbert Grave It is with great sadness that we have to tell all those who loved him, that he lost his Įght with cancer.

Born in the Netherlands, but immigrated to Canada in June of 1957, Canada became his home and he was proud to become a Canadian. SeƩling in Surrey, he operated a corner grocery store.

AŌer that, he went into real estate, but, missing the contact of people, he moved his family out to Armstrong on February 24, 1969 where he purchased the Marshall Wells store, renaming it Macleods Store. He reƟred in 1977 and spent his Ɵme travelling with family. He never lost contact with his customers and friends that he made during his working days. He was a busy man all his life and loved to work with people. He loved to talk and always had a big smile on his face.

In 1965, he took his wife and 3 children on one of his greatest adventures - seven month a trip of travelling the wonders of Europe.

Bert is predeceased by his parents Egbert and Rompje Grave from the Netherlands; son-in-law John Boon; and baby Corbin Boon.

LeŌ to mourn him is his wife of 67 years Grace; daughters: Margarieta (Larry) PaƩerson of Armstrong, Romi Boon of Peachland, and Sonja (Roland) Daveyduke of Enderby. Also remembering him are his 6 grandchildren: Cori PaƩerson Drier (Dave) and their 2 children: Olivia and Landon, Krista PaƩerson and her son Evan, Logan (Angela) Boon, Janelle (George) Racz, Courtney Davyduke (Diamond Skykora), BriƩany (Reilly Meise); and many relaƟves in the Netherlands.

A CelebraƟon of Life will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 28, 2013 at Margarieta’s Restuarant (2590 Pleasant Valley Blvd, Armstrong). In lieu of Ňowers, those wishing to do so may make a memorial donaƟon in Bert’s name to the Vernon Hospice Society (3506 27 Avenue, Vernon, BC V1T 1S4). Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.MyAlternaƟves.ca.

She will be greatly missed by her grandchildren Jade Sim; CurƟs, Harrison, and Dan Ferrier; Reanna and Sam Hall; Mac and Ellen Campbell. Also by her side, at the end, was her loving sister Faye (Ernie) Wells of Moosomin.

Ellen also leaves behind her mom May Leslie of Moosomin.

Ellen and Don started their 60 year journey together in April of 1955 at Ellen’s mom and dad’s house in Moosomin. Through all their moves to Aldergrove, Regina, Calgary, Don and Ellen Įnally seƩled in Eew Westminster as Don started work with the city and eventually BC Hydro. They conƟnued their travels with stops in Revelstoke, Eakusp, Cache Creek, and Įnally Vernon BC. AŌer reƟrement, they were avid snowbirds, and made many great friends in Yuma, Arizona. Ellen loved camping and their many travels. She always fondly spoke of their travel across Canada and to Alaska.

Her friends in Yuma always loved to come over to Don and Ellen’s for happy hour.

All who knew Ellen, will remember her incredibly infecƟous laugh that could light up a room. She was an avid gardener with an incredible green thumb and a passionate lover of all her pets over the years.. When thinking of Ellen, we will always remember her love of the Canucks and her obsession of watching the Olympics.

In lieu of Ňowers or giŌs, the family encourages donaƟons to be made to the Vernon Hospice House.

Celebrating 40 Years Married

Volpatti - Schweb Reno & Sandra Volpatti of Ashton Creek, BC and Reg & Trish Schweb of Lumby BC are thrilled, pleased and excited to announce the engagement of their children Gina Marie Danielle Volpatti and Ryan Reginald Schweb. The couple will wed August 16th 2014 in the Enderby area.

Raymond Renteria came to Canada from Mexico for a holiday in 1972. He found a job in Winfield, BC and was accepted as a landed immigrant.

Life was not the same without his fiancé, Connie, who was still in Mexico, so he asked her to come marry him in Canada. They married September 1, 1973.

Raymond and Connie decided Canada and the Okanagan would be a great place to start a family and ended up having two lovely children, Jack and Maritza. The family moved to Vernon in 1981, where they bought a few acres and raised their children.

The Renteria’s took great pride in sharing their Mexican culture, including food, piñatas, games, and giving Spanish lessons in churches, schools and other organizations.

Raymond and Connie are happy to call the Okanagan their home, surrounded by the different cultures that make this place special.
