Family wants to avoid future tragedies MARTHA WICKETT Black Press

Six weeks after his mother was rushed to hospital and three weeks after she died, Dick Vander Linde learned that his mother’s illness was caused by an e.coli infection. Corry Vander Linde, 82, of Vernon, was admitted to hospital July 29 after experiencing terrible abdominal pain and internal bleeding. She died Aug. 16. On Sept. 13, Dick and his father John were informed that Corry had been suffering from an e.coli 0157:H7 infection linked to Gort’s Gouda Cheese Farm in Salmon Arm. Throughout this time, a wheel of cheese purchased at Gort’s remained in John’s fridge, being consumed regularly. Dick tells his story because he would like to see improvements to the system, with information being provided sooner. “My dad’s fridge would have been cleaned out earlier – we didn’t find out about the e. coli word until Sept. 13. That stretch of time is an incredibly long stretch of time,” he says. “As far as the system goes, the system isn’t working. I think the public deserves a better way of being looked after.” He emphasizes that the physician and nurses taking care of his mother did a fantastic job; he has no complaint with them. “It’s really the procedures and protocols… I shudder to think of my dad eating that cheese six weeks after my mom went into hospital.” Another upset for him regarding health agencies was an official statement he heard noting that 11 people were infected with e.

Dick Vander Linde holds a photo of his mother after explaining that she was not frail before she became ill from e.coli. coli-related illness linked to the cheese and one elderly person had passed away – but had underlying conditions. “It kind of sounds like, she was 82 and had to die anyway. This wasn’t my experience… This lady was in very robust health. This wasn’t a person half a year from passing away,” he emphasizes. Corry had three children, 28 grandchildren and 39 great-grandchildren. Dick says his mom suffered from rheumatoid arthritis which limited her mobility,

but she had no problems connected to the illness. He explains that both his mom and dad were sick for about a week before he received a call from his dad at 3 a.m. July 29. They had first eaten the cheese about a week earlier. Until July 29 his mom seemed to have been recovering from what he thought was a flu of some sort, although she continued to complain about pain in her stomach and side. In hospital it soon became obvious how

serious her condition was, he said, with doctors eventually saying a slim hope was to remove her colon. Although she lived through the surgery, the infection continued unabated. “What we watched was unbelievable. We learned a lot about e.coli and infections. You don’t understand what it does to a human body. It’s like a nightmare.” One of Corry and John Vander Linde’s favourite outings was to go to Gort’s farm. Each month, they would go buy a wheel of cheese. “They were regular customers. They loved the place, they always talked about it.” Dick says while his family holds no grudges towards the owners of Gort’s and is not vindictive or looking for a lawsuit, he doesn’t think forgiveness is the right word to use at this point. “I’m not blaming the owners of the cheese farm, I don’t believe they did this intentionally. Their intention was to put out a great product…,” he acknowledges, adding that it doesn’t negate the fact damage was done. “When I cause damage to my neighbour’s property, I’m either going to go there and repair it or I’m going to pay somebody to repair it.” Along with all the pain, the day Corry died was a beautifully spiritual day for her son. Dick was in the hospital when he ran into his youngest son – whose spouse had just had a baby. “I was able to hold my 14th granddaughter two or three hours after she was born,” he explains. Then, a few hours later, “I held my mother in my arms while she left this earth.”

IHA explains process for issuing public alert The fact there were no ‘clusters’ of E. coli cases reported meant the public was not informed earlier of the health hazard related to gouda cheese from Salmon Arm. The E. coli-related illness was first reported in July, with the majority occurring at the end of August and beginning of September. A public statement was issued Sept. 17. The Interior Health Authority stated that when the onset occurred in July, Rob Parker it was a cause for concern but, as an isolated case, did not ring alarm bells. The province gets a number of E. coli cases throughout the year and, while they try to identify the

source, people are sometimes unable to pinpoint the cause of the illness. It takes anywhere from two to four weeks from the time a person gets ill to get the bacteria fingerprinting done and matched. In terms of the outbreak linked to Gort’s, health officials saw a cluster developing only the week of Sept. 9, said Dr. Rob Parker, IHA medical health officer. Parker describes the process and time required to determine Gort’s as the suspected source of the e.coli 0157:H7 outbreak. He says IHA gets anywhere from 15 to 20 cases a year, more often in summer than winter. “As soon as we get lab confirmation, we follow up the same or next day, asking people what they might have eaten, have they been around farm animals, travelling,” Parker said, noting symptoms occur usually within two to four days but

as long as a week after ingestion. Getting an indication that e.coli is the culprit takes longer as it usually takes a protracted case of diarrhea or bloody diarrhea to convince many people to go to their doctors. Blood tests are taken and by the time the results are in, there can be a three-week delay. Asking people to remember what they ate that long ago often does not provide useful data. Lab results that are positive for e.coli O.157 are sent to the B.C. Centre For Disease Control where they are fingerprinted – in a format that resembles a retail item barcode. The “fingerprints” are shared across Canada, with the provinces and the federal government watching for clusters of the same fingerprint. “That’s what happened here, some Alberta people matched up,” Parker. “Nobody immediately identified Gort’s, but when asked, they all said yes and by Tuesday morning (Sept. 17) it was clear we had to warn people.”

Ladies tourney swings in $101,000 for cause Morning Star Staff

PHOTOS View Online

roger knox/morning star

Team ABBA (A Benign Breast Amen) member Nancy Crerar gets ready to tee off on the par-3 17th hole during Sunday’s annual Wine, Women and Woods charity golf tournament at Predator Ridge Resort. Tournament emcee A.J. Eathorne (right) high-fives Tori Reid of the Service B.C. Lady Leopards as her foursome heads out to its first hole.

Lady golfers took the theme to heart. A full field of 144 participated in the 11th annual Wine, Women and Woods charity golf tournament Sunday at Predator Ridge Resort with the event’s theme coming from the Helen Reddy hit song “I Am Woman Hear Me Roar.” The golfers raised $101,000 through online donations and silent, live and caddy auctions for the Vernon Jubilee Hospital digital mammography campaign. “One of the highlights was the auctioning of the caddies,” said tournament committee chairperson Kathy Parton. “Don Dodds was the auctioneer and emcee (Predator golf pro) A.J. Eathorne managed to get everyone to open their hearts and their wallets. “A lot of fun was had by all.” The father-and-son pairing of Dave and Brendan Willis, from Vernon and Kelowna, respectively, served as celebrity caddies, billing themselves as “Chip” (Brendan) and “Dale” (Dave). The duo, adorned in matching white Predator Ridge golf hats and shirts, pink plus four pants with white and pink shoes, were purchased for $1,650. “This is a great cause, we’re happy to be doing our part and looking forward to a fun day,” said Brendan Willis as he made off with a dozen cupcakes toward his team’s cart Sunday morning. The fun, of course, carried on to the actual golf tournament. The teams met outside the Predator Ridge pro shop and golf carts and golfers were decked out in finest 1970s attire. The Service B.C. Lady Leopards were dressed in leopard skin golfing attire, and the front of their golf cart was a gigantic lion’s head in full roar. The Mother-Daughter Power team of Carol Dodds, Donna Cain, Megan Pronovost and Jodi Perry drew applause for their carts which were converted into pink 1970s-style Volkswagen vans with ROAR as the licence plate and “There’s No Fear in Fierce” written across the top.

Decked out in pink hair, pink sunglasses and flower power and tie-dye shirts was Team Kal West Contractors, with seven-time tournament participant Paula Starke, a breast cancer survivor, at the helm. “We need all the help we can get for the equipment. There’s more to be done for the future for my daughters,” said Starke, who was joined in her foursome by her two girls, Leanne Weins and Lisa Starke, and by Fern Dupont. Each team was high-fived by Eathorne as they made their way from the pro shop to their starting holes. It was the first time the tournament was held at Predator Ridge Resort. “The venue was exceptional and even the weather held out – no rain at all,” said Parton. “A great deal of fun was had on the course. The costumes were creative, proving that you can have fun while helping fight a very serious disease.” Parton praised her committee and

participants for making the tournament a success. The Wine, Women and Woods committee, working in conjunction with the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, has earmarked all of the funds for the VJH Digital Mammography Campaign. A cheque was presented to Jennifer Atkinson, CBCF, and Sue Beaudry, VJH Foundation director of development, following the tournament.

The City of Vernon insists it has no interest in looking after its neighbours’ parks. In response to a Morning Star article, city officials state a proposal is based on lowering administration costs for operating parks and not maintaining parks in Coldstream and the electoral areas to generate Jim Garlick revenue. “The City of Vernon wishes to focus on parks in Vernon,” said Will Pearce, chief administrative officer. “There is no interest in bidding on the operation of local and subregional parks in the electoral areas and Coldstream.” Sub-regional parks are part of the overall Greater Vernon collective because of broad-based use. Pearce says each jurisdiction will be able to determine how best to maintain and operate sub-regional parks within their boundaries. The city’s proposal calls for each jurisdiction to handle administration costs (also known as overhead charges) within their own existing governance structure. Another option is for the Regional District of North Okanagan to handle administration for all sub-regional parks, with each jurisdiction paying RDNO to do so.

Enderby motorists alerted Morning Star Staff

The City of Enderby is reminding residents that a pedestrian-activated crossing has been installed on Salmon Arm Drive, west of M.V. Beattie Elementary School. Pedestrians and drivers are advised to use extra caution as traffic adjusts to the change. “Parents are encouraged to review safe crossing practices with their children which includes waiting until the vehicle has come to a complete

stop and making eye contact with the driver prior to crossing,” states a city release. “When motorists see flashing lights they must come to a complete stop. As there are often school children on Salmon Arm Drive and Knight Avenue, motorists must pay extra attention at all times.” An RCMP officer will make a presentation to M.V. Beattie Elementary students on crosswalk safety in late October.

PROUDLY MANAGED BY

If the city looked after its own administration of sub-regional parks in Vernon, that could save it $313,849, reducing a potential 2014 tax increase from 3.7 to 2.8 per cent. Jim Garlick, Coldstream mayor, is reviewing both administrative options. “If we (Coldstream) look after our own overhead, there could be cost savings,” he said. Going it alone on administration could possibly save Coldstream $70,000, according to city figures. Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, is seeking more information on both options and is more interested in who actually does maintenance in his area. “I’d like to go to the market so we can maybe get some efficiencies. I also want the ability to possibly hire Venture Training or use volunteers,” he said. If the electoral areas administered parks on their own, as suggested by the city, they could possibly save $60,000. While Vernon says it doesn’t want to look after sub-regional parks in the other jurisdictions, one exception may be Kal Beach in Coldstream. “If the District of Coldstream invites us to show an interest in Kal Beach, we will sit down and discuss it with them,” said Pearce. Garlick says there may be merit to that proposal as Vernon has the necessary equipment to clean beaches. The options for administering parks maintenance will be discussed further Oct. 9.

Crash claims Armstrong man roger knox Morning Star Staff

A 44-year-old Armstrong man has been identified by the coroners office as the man killed in a singlevehicle accident in Spallumcheen Saturday morning. Braden Len Williams was the driver and sole occupant of a car that left the road and went into a treed field off Highway 97 just north of the MotoPlex Speedway and Event Park.

Ve r n o n - N o r t h Okanagan RCMP officers were alerted to the crash at around 2 a.m. after Emergency Health Services personnel found out about the accident through the vehicle’s On-Star program, which was alerted that the vehicle’s air bag had been deployed and the occupants of the vehicle could not be contacted. “Our officers attended and located the 2006 Chevrolet Impala vehicle off the roadway in

a field on the west side of the highway,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “No one was located inside the vehicle.” A search of the area found the driver’s body outside. He had been ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene. “Our police dog service unit attended and conducted a thorough search of the area. No one else was located near the crash site and it is felt that the deceased

Incident closes roads roger knox Morning Star Staff

A bizarre incident on a busy Vernon road Saturday resulted in the arrest of a woman well-known to police. Vernon RCMP and a police service dog unit responded to a call at 1:15 p.m. of a report of a woman suffering from an apparent psychotic episode. “The woman was spotted carrying and pointing a rifle in the 3200 block of 27th Street,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk Monday morning. Concerned citizens told police that the suspect went to a residence in the 3300 block of 26th Street. Police were also informed that one

person had been hit by a pellet shot from the woman’s gun. The person hit was not seriously injured as they were wearing heavy clothing at the time. “Several streets were blocked by police while they determined exactly what they were dealing with,” said Molendyk of the incident. A 51-year-old woman who has had a number of contacts with police was arrested with the assistance of the police dog at the door to her residence. Shortly after that, a pellet gun was located and seized by police. The suspect is being held in custody with charges of possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, assault with a weapon and uttering threats being considered.

was the lone occupant of the vehicle,” said Molendyk. The B.C. Coroners Service and RCMP traffic analyst attended the scene and conducted their investigations. The highway was not closed during the investigation.

Molendyk said it appears drugs and/or alcohol may have been a factor in the accident, and investigators are trying to determine if speed also played a role in the crash. The accident currently remains under investigation.

Dispute leads to stabbing roger knox Morning Star Staff

A 37-year-old man suffered nonlife-threatening stab wounds to the shoulder area following a dispute with another man in the Polson Park skateboard park just after midnight Saturday. “Police had a report of a stabbing at the skateboard park and our officers found the victim at the hospital,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The suspect in the incident, a 23-year-old Vernon man, was arrest-

ed at his residence on 24th Avenue. “The people involved in this altercation knew each other,” said Molendyk. “The skateboard park is just where they chose to settle their differences.” As part of the investigation a search warrant was executed at the residence to secure any associated evidence in this case. The 23-year-old suspect was held in custody over the weekend and was expected to face charges of aggravated assault and assault with a weapon in Vernon Provincial Court Monday.

A lack of Internet isn’t an issue in Cherryville anymore. After years of demanding access to high-speed Internet, a number of options have materialized. “We had nothing and now a majority of residents are happy,” said Eugene Eugene Foisy Foisy, regional district director. As part of a partnership with the provincial government, Telus has invested $675,000 to bring new wireless coverage

to more than 20 kilometres of Highway 6 between Lumby and Cherryville. “We heard from residents in Cherryville that the community and this stretch of highway were in need of crucial wireless services, and our significant investment means that the community is now connected to high-speed Internet,” said Steve Jenkins, Telus general manager for the Southern Interior “Most importantly, this investment expands access to 911, making highway travel safer in this area.” Telus’ wireless site along Highway 6 is now live. Beyond this, ABC Communications is also moving ahead with plans to provide fixed wireless Internet service in

Cherryville. “It’s another option. As soon as you get options, you have competition and better prices,” said Foisy. The Cherryville Community Club recently allowed ABC Communications approval to install an antenna on the community hall. ABC began working with Cherryville residents after the Regional District of North Okanagan received a $250,000 provincial grant and issued a request for proposals for fixed wireless service. The lack of high-speed Internet has been a concern for many residents over the years, and particularly those operating home-based businesses or with schoolaged children.

Don’t Let Your Windows Leave You In A Fog Dirty Foggy Windows

Many homes built between the late 70s and the early 90s experience sealed unit failure. Unit failure leads to condensation forming between the two layers of glass causing them to steam and fog up.

Janice Mori, project leader, shares details about the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan’s 2013 Vital Signs report Tuesday at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre.

Quality of life surveyed

richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Greater Vernon is a vibrant, active community but there is some room for improvement. That’s the finding of the Vital Signs report released by the Community Foundation of North Okanagan Tuesday. “It gives a snapshot of the quality of life in our area,” said Jan Mori, project leader. About 450 people were surveyed on a variety of issues ranging from housing, learning and work, to health, culture, safety and the gap between the rich and the poor. Statistics were also reviewed. “Community perceptions varied depending on the age of the person,” said Mori, adding that 30 per cent of the survey respondents are under the age of 30. Participants were asked to provide a grade, with one star representing dire need of corrective action and four stars signifying top achievement.

“In the case of work, there’s a lot of concern. We’re not quite there yet,” said Mori of the two-and-a-half stars given to employment opportunities. When it came to the gap between the rich and the poor, two-anda-half stars were given. “The daily battle people in poverty face in regards to child care, education and housing costs are very prominent in Vernon,” said one person taking the survey. The report states that while there has been a 93 per cent decrease in the number of known homeless camps since 2009, 15 per cent of households in 2010 were considered low-income (with an after-tax income below $38,920). Access to stable, safe and affordable housing was given two stars. Twenty-eight per cent of Vernon households spend 30 per cent or more of their total income on shelter, while it is 52.8 per cent for

those who rent. But the report also highlights some positive trends in Greater Vernon. Four stars went to learning/education, the environment and arts and culture. There were also full marks for belonging and leadership. “People feel there are many opportunities to be included and connected,” states the report. “Our citizens generously support our community through donations and volunteer time.” There were threeand-a-half stars for getting around (transportation), health and wellness and safety. The 2013 Vital Signs report will now be passed on to elected officials and community organizations to determine where improvements can be made that benefit residents. And that process will include the Community Foundation, which

administers endowment funds and provides grants to local programs. “We want to know where we should focus our attention,” said Mori. While residents and businesses can direct where endowment donations go, the hope is that increased discrectionary funding will occur so the foundation has the flexibility to respond to immediate community needs. “The report is not the end, it’s the beginning,” said Leanne Hammond, fund development officer. The Vital Signs report is available at www.cfno.org.

With some students attending schools outside of their catchment areas, Vernon trustees are looking into the feasibility of charging for busing to schools of choice. Trustee Mitzi Fortin says that schools of choice are those outside of the area in which students live. “I would like us to explore looking at charging for busing to those students,” she said. Clean audit for district The Vernon School District has

received a clean financial bill of health from its auditors. Trustees have approved the consolidated audited financial statements for 2013/13 as presented by KPMG. “We had a clean audit and that is an important comment as it means there is nothing in our financial statements that cause any concerns, so it’s a very important piece of information,” said district secretary-treasurer Lewis Hill. “We know where we are financially — this district has been conservative all along and we don’t plan on changing that.”

Trying to find a balance

Y

ou can’t be everything to everyone. That appeared to be the message as administration made pre-2014 budget presentations to Vernon council last week. “We do not have all of the staff resources to undertake all of this,” said Kim Flick, community development manager, as she outlined the number of initiatives facing her staff of planners. Among the already outstanding strategic priorities are an airport master plan, an integrated community sustainability plan (as mandated by the province) and an Okanagan Landing neighbourhood centre plan. Bumping to the top of the list, though, are two new items — a parks master plan and a development cost charges review. The parks master plan Richard Rolke has become a must as Vernon will now be responsible for most of the greenspace within the community (it used to be managed by the regional district). There’s a need for Vernon to determine where it wants to head long-term with parks, and DCCs are important because they’re a way of private developers providing funds or land for new public spaces. It should be pointed out that the planning department has seven positions, but there are currently three vacancies. On top of this, the city’s policy of no new net employees means there won’t be a planner to handle the specific needs of parks, and existing staff will tackle that off the sides of their desks. “We are not landscape architects,” said Flick, adding that one option is to outsource that duty. Across town, the pubic works yard is also facing significant challenges given that all

departments have been told to try and stay within a 1.8 per cent hike to the budget. With most of that increase going towards collective agreements with staff, there is little room to meet ballooning operational costs. “The infrastructure is getting older so that means more emergency repairs in the middle of the night and water main breaks,” said Shirley Koenig, operations manager. Skyrocketing B.C. Hydro rates have placed pressure on the city’s spray effluent program, while contracts for line painting have soared. The search for efficiencies are underway, but it was clear that some service level reductions may be necessary to keep within budget and ensure the evolving and unpredictable scope of public works continues. No specifics were given but a core review earlier this year identified yard waste chipping and clear bag pick-up as potential cuts. Now there will be some residents who have little sympathy for city staff and the challenges they face. After all, they are well paid and can be seen as wanting to protect their turf. But the responsibilities they face are significant. They must keep up with the needs and demands of a growing community, and while some of their decisions are debatable, it reinforces the fact that city staff are human just like the rest of us. Raising concerns shouldn’t be interpreted simply as whining. It’s administration’s job to tell the politicians that current resources may not be sufficient to absorb new mandates like parks. It’s up to them to state that a cap on public works spending may not be enough to do everything put before them. No one likes taxes going up (and remember that civic workers pay taxes too), but money also needs to be spent to ensure a municipality operates efficiently and effectively. In the end, a balance must be found.

Delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention called for extending terms of office for mayors and councillors from three years to four. Bring it on. Anyone who has regularly watched municipal politicians in action or has served on such a board knows the avalanche of information the newest members must absorb. On top of learning the history of past decisions and choices to create the proper context for making good decisions, rookies must try to memorize the process and learn how best to work within those confines to be the most effective. In our estimation, it takes between one and two years minimum for an elected official to reasonably understand how to do the job. Therefore, this only leaves about one year of a threeyear term where they’re sufficiently proficient to best represent the people who put them into office. Extending a term by another year will give residents better bang for their tax buck by reducing election costs. The proposal passed with a 60 per cent approval rate, with one rural delegate stating the idea came from “professional politicians” in the Lower Mainland, where pay is higher. While that may be true, it doesn’t change the fact that this is an idea whose time may have come and it should be pushed forward as soon as possible. And it’s not as though there isn’t precedent for this in Canada. If such a plan is enacted, B.C. would fall in step with every other province. Overall, we would be better served by having longer terms, both in terms of effectiveness of politicians and money saved by having fewer elections. — Tri City News

Council missed out at UBCM

he air is getting crisp in the morning reminding us that autumn is here. Another sure sign of fall is the annual migration of local politicians to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. Though the trip is sometimes criticized as political junket of little value, I disagree. The provincial ministers and their staff also come to roost at the UBCM convention. Their presence provides the opportunity for astute local officials to get the ear of a particular minister on subjects of local concern. There is often a very frank exchange of opinions which prove useful to both levels of government. Though brief, these meetings are to the point and often result in the help sought. As reported by Richard Rolke in The Morning Star, no meetings with ministers were scheduled by our members of Vernon council in attendance. This was a lost opportunity.

cosens bay power In the article by Richard Rolke about Cosens Bay power, there were some comments made by Mr. Fleming that baffle me. He says, “There are some property owners that do not share the same goals (as Klim) so we would have to balance all of the issues.” Does he really expect all property owners to share the same opinion on any issue? Nothing would ever be done on anything if this were a criteria. The other statement is that, “Cosens Bay was originally intended to be just for seasonal cabins.” Even if that is true, it was 60 years ago. News flash, times change. I would hope someone in charge of setting goals and directions for the future would realize that. With that kind of attitude we might not have Predator Ridge Golf Resort, Silver Star or for that matter, even the Kelowna airport as those lands were originally designed for different usage. Say goodbye to many of the jobs and reasons tourists come to

Surely there must be a few items worthy of discussion. Perhaps the redesign of 43rd Avenue and Highway 97 could have been broached. Maybe the inequitable burden born by Vernon taxpayers for the civilian employees at our RCMP detachment could have been underlined.

this area. Which brings us back to the topic at hand. Our incredible Kalamalka Lake has properties with outhouses close to the water and grey water going into the lake. Sixty years ago, that might have been acceptable, but it is not anymore. For the property owners to fix this issue, power is needed due to the terrain. More than 50 per cent of the homeowners out there want power and the majority of the rest would probably take it if they did not have to pay for it. So Mr. Fleming when you are balancing opinions, ask yourself a simple question. Where do you want the effluent to go? If it is not into the lake, you should support power, as that is the only way to clean up the lake. Even without power and a road that meets MOT standards there has and will continue to be more homes being developed out there. So why do you not look to the future for solutions instead of living in the past?

A question regarding the apparent delay of approval of the parks memorandum of understanding could have been asked. Could the onerous water upgrades imposed by the Interior Health Authority have been appealed? The ministers were there ready to listen but apparently our elected officials had

I am sure, if you polled the boaters that enjoy the lake, you would find the new homes add much more beauty to this amazing lake than the 50-year-old shacks that are falling over. brent Hauberg sad ending Shame on you. You, the person(s) who tamed the mule deer, who destroyed his natural fear of humans, and, who ultimately caused his untimely death. This was something you probably had not foreseen, and, about now, you are not feeling very proud of your actions. Let's hope it's a lesson learned. The experts who decreed that death was the only solution, I'm sure, considered this decision very carefully. I accept that. But, why the heck did you have to tell me? I, and the rest of the world, didn't have to know that. After a few days of no reported sightings, I would have assumed that the little fellow had found a mate, and that together, they had pranced off to the woods to begin a happy life together.

GOVERNANCE SOCIETY SIGN OUR PETITION AT www.greatervernongovernance.ca Petition Statement: “As a citizen of Greater Vernon, I support a review by local and provincial authorities, to develop a plan to combine our regional governments ( City of Vernon, District of Coldstream, Electoral Area B and Electoral Area C) into a single entity, for the purpose of more efficient use of our local tax dollars.”

nothing to ask or say. I find this a disappointing state of affairs. It is not as if there hasn't been anything of note happening that might be of interest to the provincial officials. The recent successful launch of the Greater Vernon Governance Society petition, with the goal of a single municipal government for Greater Vernon, could well be the single most important issue that could have been discussed with provincial officials in recent memory. Too bad no one thought to schedule a meeting with a minister. We were conspicuous in our absence from the appointment lists. The ministers expect to be talked to and look forward to meeting with local officials. From personal experience, I know these discussions to be productive. Relationships with any given municipality and the provincial government can be warm or cold. Vernon may be in for a cold spell. shawn lee

Corny? Naive? A bit juvenile? Yes, probably. But the picture I have of him nuzzling his little girlfriend is far more acceptable than the harsh reality – the little mule deer, lying dead, with his tongue hanging out of the side of his mouth. I'm angry, disgusted and oh so very, very sad. noreen payne culture referendum First off, the next referendum must be with the municipal election in 2014. The last one cost $66,000 and only 8,000 people voted at a cost to the taxpayer of $8.25 per vote. No, no, no. We need to get the current council to allow a list of civic questions to be put on the ballot. A spring referendum will only draw a handful of voters, whereas the same question on the civic election ballot (in November) will indicate a much broader community response. This is democracy in action rather than special interest groups stacking the vote and getting upsupported and costly develop-

ment added to our already crushing tax burden. Holly baxter

Scott makes a return visit to Vernon AmAndA morAzAin Special to The Morning Star

The Vernon Jazz Club will be swept away to Brazil this Saturday with the sounds of Jennifer Scott and Brasileira. Vocalist and pianist Scott will be joined by jazz heavyweights Cory Weeds on saxophone, Bill Coon on guitar, Rene Worst on bass, Dave Robbins on drums, and Liam MacDonald on percussion. They will be playing the music of Baden Powell, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and Ivan Lins, as well as Brazilian-influenced originals. A Juno nominee, Scott is a driving force in the Canadian jazz scene. She has appeared on Jazzbeat and Hot Air and was also featured on four separate albums produced by CBC. Andy Gilbert, from JazzTimes, writes, “Scott has set herself apart from the jazz-vocalist pack with her mesmerizing renditions of the most unlikely tunes. With her warm, flexible contralto, Scott brings a striking emotional intelligence to everything she sings, no matter what the context.” In addition to Brasileira, Scott has been busy touring with her Duo project which includes partner Rene Worst. She also leads a quartet featuring guitarist Peter Bernstein which will be recording

Much Ado rendition hits the screen Ann dAviS Special to The Morning Star

The Vernon Film Society will show another in its fall series of films Monday. The offering this time is Much Ado About Nothing, a modern, lively, sexy take on the comedy by William Shakespeare. Directed by Joss Whedon and filmed in his own L.A. mansion, the movie is an adaptation that embraces both the light and dark moments of the play. Critic Catherine Shoard, of the Guardian, states, “Whedon’s key coup is simply directing a very good version of the play. He has a keen ear for comedy, a no-nonsense approach to ditching the gags that don’t work, a deft hand for slapstick and an eagerness to use it.”

The vainglory and self-delusion of the leads is beautifully done by Alexis Denisof (Benedick) and Amy Acker (Beatrice). The movie will delight those who love any version of Shakespeare’s work and be accessible for those who are not sure about seeing a Shakespeare play. Following other directors, like Baz Luhrmann and many others who have displayed the versatility of Shakespeare’s work with fresh adaptations, Whedon imbued his own wit and talent into a play about the merry war between the reluctant lovers, Beatrice and Benedick. It will be shown at the Towne Theatre Monday at 5:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are $7 and available at the theatre and the Bean Scene.

think,” she said. Weeds is the busy owner of the Cellar Jazz Club. He is a member of People Playing Music and has toured with them throughout Canada, the U.S., and Europe. Weeds’ debut album as a leader featured Peter Bernstein, Mike Ledonne, and Joe Farnsworth. Big Weeds was nominated for album of the year at the 2009 National Jazz Awards and was selected by Jazz Week as one of the top 100 releases of 2008. Coon is a Juno-nominated guitarist, composer, and arranger. He has performed with award winning artists such as Jimmy Heath, P.J. Perry, and hip-hop artist K-OS. His writing and performing can be heard on more than 30 albums to date while jazz ensembles and orchestras throughout the world have performed his arrangements. Coon teaches at Capilano University, is a clinician and adjudicator for music festivals across the country, and was awarded the title of guitarist of the year at the 2009 National Jazz Awards. Worst is an internationally known and well-respected bass player. He has toured Canada with jazz legends Chet Baker, Gene Bertoncini and Joe Pass. He has been a featured session player

on recordings by Jennifer Love Hewitt, David Bowie, Aerosmith and Poison to name just a few. Worst was voted bassist of the year by the B.C. CARAS for four years in a row. He is currently both the producer and bassist for Brazileira. Robbins is not only a first-rate composer, arranger, and educator but is also one of Canada’s premier jazz drummers. He has played music all over the world and has shared the stage with top musicians such as Gary Bartz, Dee Daniels and Kenny Werner. Robbins taught at McGill’s Conservatory of Music and is currently on the music faculty at Capilano University. MacDonald was inspired to start drumming when his uncle, who was a professional drummer, left behind a beautiful set of old Rogers. This passion for percussion has led him to work with an extremely eclectic mix of projects in which he plays Brazilian, Arabic, roots and blues, Afro-beat, and flamenco music. Jennifer Scott and Brasileira take the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club (3000-31st St.) Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the Bean Scene, Bean to Cup and at www.vernonjazz.ca.

Caetani spent years painting 56 amazing watercolours entitled Recapitulation: A Journey and donated the series to the Alberta Foundation for the Arts in Edmonton.

Turanski returned as school board chair Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff

A new school year has begun, and once again Bill Turanski finds himself in a familiar seat: as chairperson of the Vernon School District board of trustees. At a recent board meeting, the most experienced trustee at the table was once again elected to guide his six fellow trustees, with Kelly Smith re-elected to the position of vicechairperson. Trustee Mitzi Fortin was elected as representative to the B.C. School Trustees’ Association provincial council, with Tami Ryder as alternate. One of Turanski’s first tasks as chairperson for the 2013/14 school year was to introduce the district’s new secretary-treasurer, Lewis Hill. “I am so impressed with what he has managed to accomplish in a month and a half,” said Turanski. Hill was hired to replace Randy Hoffman, the district’s longtime secretary-treasurer, who retired this year. The meeting was the first public one for new superintendent Joe Rogers. A familiar face at the table, Rogers was principal at Kalamalka secondary school, before taking on

the job of director of student learning for the district. nnn The district is in the process of hiring a consultant to review its current aboriginal programs and services. The consultant will meet with the aboriginal education committee, members of school district staff, teachers, administrators, aboriginal support workers, aboriginal parents and students. “The goal is to look at the great things we are doing and to make some suggestions going forward,” said district superintendent Joe Rogers. The review will run from October to December, with the board receiving a written report that recognizes the current areas of strength and recommendations on areas of growth, based on community needs and current best practices in aboriginal programs. “Our review will be done by Doug Hoy, who is past principal of aboriginal programs in Maple Ridge and he will put together a report for what’s going well and how we might do things differently,” said Rogers, adding that the district expects that this report will ultimately lead to the development of an Aboriginal Enhancement Agreement.

under the stairs in the basement. I had more phone calls about overwintering geraniums. I dealt with that subject last year in my column of Oct. 3. Here is a repeat of what I wrote: Geraniums actually make decent houseplants, if you can provide them with lots of bright light. They like a cool temperature. A bright west or south facing window or grow lights are crucial. Just don’t keep the plants too close to a window that gets a draft. Bring your plants indoors before the first frost. Check your geraniums closely for signs of insects or disease. Dig and pot up healthy plants and prune them back by about 1/3. Give them a good dose of water when you first bring them in, then allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Geraniums seem to like a little drought stress; it keeps them blooming more frequently. Keep an eye out for the usual indoor pests like aphids, spider mites and fungus gnats. If your geranium is happy, it will continue to grow and bloom, although not as well as it does outdoors in summer. If it looks like it’s struggling to stay alive, consider letting it go dormant until spring. A cool, unheated basement is

ideal for storing dormant geraniums. And this is one time when a slightly damp basement is a plus. You want a storage spot where the geraniums will stay cold, but above freezing, where they’ll remain in the dark and where they won’t dry out completely. There are two approaches, potted or bare root: Potted Storage: Pot up your geraniums and allow the soil to dry out. Cut the plants back by about half. Top each plant with an overturned paper bag. Store in a cool, dry location. Check every few weeks to make sure the plants are not shrivelling or drying out completely. If they are, spray them with water or slightly water the root area. Allow the plant to dry off before replacing the paper bag. Bare Root Storage: Dig your geraniums before the first frost. Cut the plants back by about half. Shake off as much soil as you can from the roots. Either hang the plants in a cool, dark room or place them in paper bags. If you opt for the bags, don’t seal them tightly. You want some air to circulate. If you opt to hang your geraniums, make sure there is enough space between plants for air to circulate around them. For more information: 250-558-4556.

Geraniums can thrive indoors

rowth has been slowing down a lot now that the days are much shorter and the nights much colder. One night last week, it went just above freezing in the back yard. Nothing was damaged but it means that it is time now to do clean-up. I am sure that we will have more nice days but every year I get caught having to rush to finish chores. I have yet to finish planting my tulips, garlic and spraying my plants with insecticidal Jocelyne Sewell soap before bringing them in the house. Most of my geraniums are in the greenhouse and I should do that on the next sunny day. If you have gladiolus bulbs in your garden, allow foliage to die off naturally in the fall and dig up before the first frost. Cut off stems within one inch (2.5cm) of the bulb and allow bulbs to dry in the sun. Store in a cool, dry place over winter. Replant in spring. I put my bulbs in mesh onion bags and hang them

We are so blessed to live in this area of the country with so many varieties of fruits and vegetables available to us at amazingly low costs, it would be a shame not to at least experiment with new apple varieties. So next time you’re at any of the fruit markets, try a couple of new-toyou apples, you might find something that surprises you.

The

nut pieces Cake Batter 2-1/4 cups blanched almond flour 1 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. sea salt 1 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp. ground ginger 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce 1/2 cup pure maple syrup 4 large eggs 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove the bottom round of a 9x3-inch springform pan. Using parchment paper, trace the bottom round and cut the paper slightly smaller than the traced circle so that it fits neatly into the bottom (no overlap). Place the bottom back into the springform pan and secure in place. Lightly oil the pan and then place the parchment cut-out into the bottom of the pan and lightly oil. (If you don’t have a springform pan, you can use a parchment-lined 9x9-inch baking dish instead.) Prepare topping: Core and slice one apple (about 1/4 inch slices) and arrange the apple slices in a pleas-

ing pattern on the bottom of the prepared pan/baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Then toss the walnuts in the mixture until well-coated. Spoon the walnuts in a circular pattern across the top of the apple slices, filling in the gaps between the apple slices. Place the pan in the oven and bake the topping for 6-8 minutes, just until the apples begin to soften. Remove from oven. While the topping is cooking, prepare the cake batter: In a small bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside. Using an electric hand mixer, blend (on low speed) the applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla, until well-combined. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet and continue mixing for a full

minute, until smooth and well-blended. Gently pour the cake batter over the partially baked apple topping, using a rubber spatula to help remove all of the batter from the bowl. Spread batter evenly across top. Place back in oven and continue to bake for approximately 25-28 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. (If using a springform pan, I recommend placing the cake pan onto a baking sheet, as some of the apple juice may leak out of the pan during baking.) Allow cake to cool completely, then remove the springform pan and invert the cake onto a plate or cake stand to serve.

Many Canadians have chosen to renovate their homes rather than move to a higher priced property. We can easily look at refinancing your home to provide the funds that you need to make the repairs. With today’s lower interest rates your payments will likely be lower than you would expect and if you have at least 20% equity in your home (the difference between the value of your home and the new mortgage) you are able to choose a longer repayment of 30 & 35 years to help lower your payments. We would be pleased to review your personal details and provide a payment plan that will suit your lifestyle and save you money. E&O/OAC

You should have Powers of Attorney once you have any protect-able assets, for instance, you own a house or a business or even a bank account. Should you be in an accident, ill or out of the country, someone can attend to your financial affairs on your behalf. The person you give a Power of Attorney should be a trusted person. You should also understand that abuse of Powers of Attorney is one of the most common ways of elder abuse. We often see cases where children abuse these Powers of Attorney, so don’t assume you will be immune to this. There are many different types of Powers of Attorney, they can be custom tailored to fit your particular circumstances.

Noise levels above 85 decibels can cause hearing loss over time. Everyday noises like fire sirens, road construction and even movie theatres can lead to permanent hearing loss in less than ten minutes. To give you some guidelines: A whisper is general 20 to 30 decibels, a lawn mower or truck noise registers at 90 decibels, a rock concert or baby crying can register at 100 to 130 decibels continuously. Gunshots are usually about 120 to 150 decibels.

Q: A:

My kids are back in school and are already coming home with congestion and coughs. What can I do to keep them healthy?

The transition back to school can be exciting and stressful. In addition to the close proximity of so many children there is an adjustment getting back into sleep routines and regular eating habits. Sleep: Get your kids back into a regular sleep routine so they can get the rest they need and recover from the new busier schedule. Reduce stress: Discuss any worry or anxiety they may be feeling about new classes, teachers and friends. Cortisol (a stress hormone) reduces our immune response and interferes with healing. Hand washing: Make sure they are washing their hands before they eat at school and when they get home from school. This will help minimize their exposure. Vitamin C: This vitamin stimulates the immune system and enhances antibody response. Dosage is based on age and bowel tolerance. Vitamin D: This vitamin boosts the immune system and has been shown to reduce severity of infections when taken on a regular basis. Homeopathic Immune Booster: This natural flu shot (given as drops under the tongue in children) will support their body’s natural immune response to all viruses and reduce severity of the flu.

Yes! There are a number of rules and regulations that must be strictly followed when installing a wood burning stove. First of all, check with your local by-law authorities, as there are some jurisdictions that do not allow wood burning appliances, or have strict guidelines as to what type of appliance you can use, such as high efficiency stove that has a rating recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency. Buying a new stove is always the best choice, and having it professionally installed by a WETT (Wood Energy Technical Training) certified installer, after that the stove must be inspected by a WETT certified inspector and the appropriate paperwork filled out for your insurance company. Installing the stove yourself is discouraged, however if you choose to do it yourself, remember; when in doubt, always ask an expert.

Q: A:

Managing Type 2 Diabetes

There are two types of diabetes, but the most common is Type 2. The way it works is that your pancreas releases insulin in your body, which moves glucose (blood sugar) into your cells so you can produce energy. Type 2 diabetics have a resistance to insulin. Their cells keep demanding insulin, so their pancreas keep making more. People with type 2 diabetes not only have too much insulin in the bloodstream, they also developed high levels of blood sugar, a condition know as hyperglycemia. Most people diagnosed with diabetes are overweight, but it is possible for thin people to develop the disease. If you are diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, it’s good to know that with proper attention and care, you can live a long and active life. Diabetes will never go away, but it can be managed. It’s important to monitor your blood glucose level regularly. Glucose meters are available at Remedy’sRX without a prescription. If you suspect you may have diabetes, speak to your Remedy’sRX pharmacist or your doctor. Sterling Centre

Q: A:

Can you tell me how many calories I burn while walking?

If you weight about 150 lbs, you’ll burn between 80-100 calories per mile. But, if you want to become fitter and/or to lose weight, don’t focus only on the numbers. Add as much physical activity as possible in your day-to-day living. More importantly, become aware of your sitting times, and consciously work on decreasing those hours of inactivity. Walking 10,000 steps every day brings you closer to optimum health, fitness, and longevity. Even just increasing from what you’re doing right now will help you start reaping huge rewards…with more happiness and vitality. Lace up your walking shoes and clip on your pedometer. Make today your day towards health and fitness.

Jersey Day a hit for KidSport Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

Greater Vernon’s generosity is giving local kids a sporting chance. More than $2,500 was raised through KidSport’s second annual Jersey Day Friday, where a number of businesses and individuals made a donation to sport their favourite team jersey for the day. The number of participants and donations increased substantially (raising more than triple the amount of the inaugural year), proving that the community is dedicated to ensuring all kids can play. All funds raised in the community remain local, enabling more than 275 kids from Vernon, Lumby, Cherryville, Armstrong, Enderby and Grindrod to be able to take part in sports. More than $40,000 annually goes towards putting kids in three minor hockey associations, ringette, lacrosse, three skating organizations, OTR programs, swimming, gymnastics, dance and basketball programs, to name a few. Through Jersey Day, the community was able to support local kids, and sport their favourite team. “Canucks was the most popular,” said Ann Holmes with Greater Vernon KidSport. “We also had car racing ones, and international soccer ones, basketball,

rugby, local fastball and local baseball teams.” KidSport’s Doug Ross even sported a Boston Bruins jersey thanks to a donation from Clint Kanester. “He is a down and out Montreal Canadiens fan,” said Holmes. The two top fundraising businesses were Vernon Hyundai and Watkin Motors Ford, each donating more than $600. Staff at the VantageOne Okanagan Landing branch and Andrew Sherett also each donated more than $300. Anyone who would like to support the cause can still drop donations off at VantageOne in the Landing Plaza.

Learning to breastfeed and becoming comfortable with breastfeeding takes time,” said Joanne Smrek, IHA regional knowledge co-ordinator. “Support from family, friends, health-care providers, and communities can make all the difference in building a woman’s confidence and comfort with breastfeeding.” On Thursday, there will be refreshments, a baby wearing fashion show and door prizes at the Vernon library from 10 to 11:30 a.m. On Saturday, the Quintessence Breastfeeding Challenge takes place at 10:30 a.m. at Vernon Jubilee Hospital (Polson Tower level two waiting area). Public health nurses are available at health units to assist mothers and infants during the breastfeeding years to ensure families have all the help they need to give babies the best start in life. Contact your local public health unit for more information. Support is also now just a click away with Healthy Families B.C.’s new pregnancy and parenting section and its hosting of the Breastfeeding Buddy Tool at healthyfamiliesbc.ca/home/ articles/breastfeedingbuddy. This web-based app is full of tips, tools, videos, and more to help with breastfeeding.

Lake Country residents discuss a number of options for Pelmewash Parkway, the old highway along Wood Lake.

Road plan draws crowd kevin parnell Black Press

Lake Country residents came out to get a look at the concept plan for Pelmewash Parkway. Close to 80 residents showed up at the District of Lake Country office to hear from consultants that have put together a concept plan using information gathered from the public at previous input sessions. “From what I can gather, the response was very favourable for what was proposed,” said Coun. Owen Dickie. “It’s very much going to be a recreational corridor with a narrow roadway that will allow for through travel and has the ability to isolate pedestrian and bike traffic from the road.” Among the items that have been taken off the agenda is the potential closing of the road in the middle of Pelmewash Parkway. Dickie says that is no longer an option and the road will remain open to through traffic although what’s still to be determined is the use of the road by commercial trucks. “There are some trucks that are using it now, big rigs that are pulling into the pull-outs and parking as well as gravel trucks from the Oyama gravel pit,” said Dickie, adding that Lake Country council was leaning towards closing the road to commercial traffic in the future. With the district not expected to take over control of the road until sometime next year, the district still can’t make any firm decisions on potentially closing the road to rigs. “There was pretty consistent

agreement (on council) that the road would be closed to through commercial traffic,” said Dickie. Once this latest public consultation period closes, consultants will put together a final plan that will be brought forward to council for approval. Mayor James Baker says it’s a slow process but it’s important to make sure the residents of Lake Country have a proper say. “I think this is a good process,” said Baker. “The more the community information we can get the better. We would rather spend the time and budget on getting a good plan and then we will have to go after ways of getting funding once we have a concrete plan.” Signage along the new Highway 97 remains an issue for residents and businesses operating in Oyama. New route change information signs will be put up by the province that will direct travelers to Oyama and Evans Road off of the new highway but Dickie says it’s still creating confusion. “There seems to be some resistance from numerous people to indicate Oyama as a particular location,” he said. “There is some justification for that. Then you would need to put up signs for the rest of the wards which might not be a bad thing. We are a community of four very diverse communities which is probably one of our strengths.” In the meantime, council has directed staff to develop an overall sign policy for the district.

The who’s who of women’s curling will be in action starting at 10 a.m. Thursday at the Vernon Curling Club. Former world champions and a handful of rinks headed to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia will compete in a field of 32 at the $40,000 Prestige Hotels & Resorts Curling Classic. Other Thursday draws are at 1, 5 and 8 p.m. Admission is $10 a day, or $30 for a five-day pass. Headlining the triple-knockout event are Canadians Cheryl Bernard (Calgary), Shannon Kleibrink (Calgary), Kelley Law (New Westminster), Kelly Scott (Kelowna) and defending champion Heather Nedohin (Edmonton). Big-name international rinks include Eve Muirhead (Scotland), Bingyu (Betty) Wang (China), Anna Sidorova (Russia) and Mirjam Ott (Switzerland). Robbi Kuhn, supported by Karla Thompson, Brooklyn Leitch and Michelle Ramsay is the lone local entry. “The lineup for the women is best we’ve had for sure,” said Vernon club manager Dave Merklinger. “Teams from all over the world, and some of them are Olympic teams. And who knows what’ll happen here from Canada.” Meanwhile, Jim Cotter’s new-look Vernon rink, featuring skip John (Johnny Mo) Morris, will look to defend its Prestige men’s title when action begins Friday morning (10:30). Cotter enters the 32-team, $26,000 men’s draw after a quarterfinalist performance at the Point Optical Curling Classic last weekend at the Nutana Curling Club in Saskatoon. Morris joined the Cotter rink after playing with Edmonton’s Kevin Martin. Cotter, supported by second Tyrell Griffith and lead Rick Sawatsky, will throw skip’s stones. Mark Longworth (Jamie Sexton, Hugh Bennett and Michael Longworth), and TJ Perepolkin (Deane Horning, Tyler Orme and Chris Anderson) head the other local rinks. The men’s final is set for 3 p.m. Monday. The women’s final goes 4 p.m. Sunday.

Nine games down and the Vernon Vipers are slowly developing a template for success in the toughest division in the B.C. Hockey League. And with the 13th-worst powerplay – 5-for-41 – they made a major move Tuesday by trading for Jared Wilson of the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, the league’s leading rookie defenceman last year with 10 goals and 33 points. The Calgary product has three goals and eight points this season and has a scholarship with the RPI Engineers for 2014-15. The Vipers gave up 18-year-old centre Craig Martin and future considerations. Martin, of Trail, racked up seven goals and 16 points last season and has three goals and seven points this year. He has a scholarship with the Quinnipiac Bobcats. “I’m real excited,” Wilson told The Morning Star. “My coach (Kevin Willison) called me this morning and at first, it was a shock, but I’m excited about playing in the RBC with Vernon.” Wilson, who played lacrosse in his early teens, patrolled the back line for the Calgary Royals in Midget hockey, netting a dozen goals and 32 points his final campaign. “I like to think of myself as a solid twoway guy. Obviously, I’m more offensive minded, but I can play in all situations.” Wilson, a bogey golfer, is already fairly close with Dexter Dancs, Riley Guenther, Austin Smith and Michael McNicholas of the Vipers. “He’s a little bit of a puck mover and very good offensively,” said Vipers’ head coach/ GM Jason Williamson. “He will definitely help our powerplay. When you go 0-for-7 in games, it’s not good.” Martin’s departure will likely mean second-year centre TJ Dumonceaux will move up to the third line. “It was a tough one, but you have to give up something good to get something good,” added Williamson. “They needed forwards and they asked for him.” The Bulldogs, who got Vernon product Harlan Orr in a deal with the Salmon Arm SilverBacks are off to a 1-7-1 start after losing their three top scorers to the USHL. The Vipers gave up two empty-netters (Mitchell Fyfe and Nicolas Pierog) during a late powerplay in a 7-4 loss to the Surrey

Eagles before 1,625 fans Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. The loss cost the Snakes (3-3-1-2) space in the Interior table, where five of six teams are at .500 or better and the last-place Merritt Centennials are 4-5. The SilverBacks and Vees each won two weekend games, while the Cents and West Kelowna Warriors each posted one victory. Vernon pulled Smith for a sixth attacker for a 6-on-4 powerplay that did everything but find the net on acrobatic Surrey net detective Victor Adamo. The Vipers went up 2-0 in a hurry on goals four minutes apart by McNicholas and ex-Eagle Mason Blacklock (his team-high eighth). Surrey reeled off three goals, two on the powerplay, in five minutes for a 3-2 lead after 20 minutes. “We kind of let up when we got up 2-0,” said McNicholas, a crafty centre obtained in the Aaron Hadley deal with the Nanaimo Clippers. “We got a little too confident then and they capitalized on our mistakes. I think we’re still trying to find our identity. We’re doing a better job. This week was pretty good for us minus that game. We’re making strides in the right direction.” Jonah Renouf, who has hands much like

the Jones twins, and Nicolas Pierog counted powerplay goals two minutes apart to make it 2-2 midway through the first period. D-man Ryan Fraser-Lee floated the goahead goal past a screened Smith three minutes later. McNicholas equalized early in the second period before Renouf put Surrey ahead shortly after from in tight. Renouf, a Mississauga product who pocketed 29 goals and 94 points with the Oakville Blades last year, has a scholarship to Quinnipiac, near Hartford, next year, the same school the Jones twins are attending as seniors. Renouf ’s twin, Nathan, also headed to Quinnipiac, is on injured reserve. He put up 77 points with Oakville last season. The Vipers levelled the score 85 seconds into the third period before 1,625 fans when former Eagle Demico Hannoun quickly beat Adamo after Jason Bird’s bomb from the left point ricocheted off the end boards. FraserLee provided the winner seven minutes later. Retired NHLer Peter Schaefer is the Eagles’ head coach/GM and has inherited a handful of returnees from Matt Erhart, now an assistant coach with the WHL Vancouver Giants.

Cats maul Blue Wave Morning Star Staff

Tailback Levi Nicholas scored on the first two drives of the game as the Vernon Panthers cruised to a 49-6 win over the Westsyde Blue Wave in senior AA boys football play Saturday at Grahame Park. Zac Kronbauer added three more scores in the first half to help the host Panthers to a 35-6 halftime lead over the Kamloops-based Wave. Nicholas opened the scoring with a five-yard run, and then took a John Garvie (5-of-7, 80 yards) screen pass 15 yards to the end zone. Kronbauer, who collected 94 yards on eight carries, added 25- and 10-yard TD runs to go along with a 79-yard kick-off return. “I liked the balance we had in the first half as we were able to connect on some passes early and hit on some big runs,” said VSS head coach Sean Smith. “Garvie made some good reads in the pass game and Andy Hladik was solid for us as a tight end again.” Garvie scored on the opening drive of the third quarter on a weaving QB keep, and Karson Patommel rounded out the scoring in the fourth. Travis Froom, with six tackles, and Tyler Wiebe, with four tackles and two sacks, led the Panther defence. “Wiebe and Froom made plays all over the field and were key to us getting pressure,” said Smith. “Despite the win, we have some work to do in our pass defence. We made some undisciplined decisions that led to key receptions. If we are going to compete against the top teams, we have to shore up our coverage responsibilities.” The Panthers (4-0) host the Salmon Arm Golds Saturday afternoon (2:30) at Grahame Park.

Maroons thrive in the Wild

Meanwhile, the Fulton Maroons grounded the Mt. Baker Wild of Cranbrook 36-6 Friday in the

Kootenays. Davron Polok, on a nine-yard run, and Caleb McCuaig, on a 50-yard pass from Tye Kitzman, gave Mike Scheller’s Maroons a first-quarter lead. A 19-yard TD reception by Darrien Broomfield had Fulton ahead 22-0 at the half. Luc Mitchell handled the Maroons’ scoring in the second half, barging in from four yards in the third quarter before returning an interception 40 yards in the fourth. Fulton’s defence recorded a pair of safeties. Kitzman completed 5-of-9 passes for 156 yards and no interceptions, while Tyler Liefke was Fulton’s main ground threat with 30 yards on a dozen touches. McCuaig earned 123 yards on three catches. Defensively, Carson Deboer had three tackles and Trevor Feeney and Polok each had two. Feeney and Romello Coufal each earned a pick. Sacks went to Deboer (2), Polok, Feeney, Coufal and Franky Gettis. “This was a good game for us against a very young, but game Mt. Baker squad,” said Scheller. “Overall, we executed well on both sides of the ball and our whole roster got a bunch of playing time. “Defensively, we were very aggressive and we caused them a lot of problems. Defensive coaches Lance Heron and Kevin Stecyk dialed up some good blitzes and we scored 10 points defensively.” Scheller noted the efforts of Liefke at tailback and Taran Lafond at slotback, as well as the defensive performances by Conner Annesley, Ed PetitJacquin and Ro Hemart. The 2-1-1 Maroons took in the NCAA Division 1 game Saturday at the Kibbie Dome in Moscow, Idaho. The host Vandals grounded the Temple Owls of Philadelphia 27-24 in front of 15,325 fans. Fulton hosts the Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops Saturday (noon) at Grahame Park.

Sun Devils stop Atom Magnums

Knights lasso Wranglers Morning Star Staff

Morning Star Staff

The West Kelowna Sun Devils kept their undefeated Atom football season alive with a 36-18 win over the Vernon Magnums Sunday at Grahame Park. The Magnums were unable to contain the Sun Devils’ dangerous ground attack in the Southern Interior Football Conference tilt. “Despite the outcome, I still think we can play with these guys,” said Vernon head coach Tim Thorpe. “All of their scores came on long runs where we lost outside contain. If we can fix this problem, we can play with any team in the league.” Leading the Magnum offence was quarterback Kolby Thorpe with 111 yards on 12 carries and three touchdowns. Running back Colin Charlton had 79 yards on 15 carries. Defensively, Thorpe had six tackles, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries. Gunnar Nyberg had five tackles and Charlton had four.

Vernon Magnums’ running back Riley MacGillivray (12) uses the straight arm to keep West Kelowna Sun Devils tackler Tyson Hughes at bay in Southern Interior Football Conference Junior Bantam league action Sunday at Grahame Park. “Fundamentally, our boys have improved tenfold and I’m excited to see that,” said Thorpe. “The players are working hard in practice and we are starting to see major

improvement in many players. Now we just need to put it together as a team.” The Atom Magnums visit the Kelowna Lions on Sunday.

The North Okanagan Knights are proving to be worthy road warriors early in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. The Knights corralled the expansion 100 Mile House Wranglers 2-1 in overtime Saturday night before 540 fans at the South Cariboo Rec Centre. North Okanagan, who stopped the previously unbeaten Kamloops Storm the night before, won their second straight away game. They face five more road tilts before hosting the Castlegar Rebels Friday, Oct. 18 at NorVal Sports Centre. “We didn’t have our best game, but we picked it up at the end and found a way to win,” said veteran Mat Lambert, who went forehand, backhand, low for the winner at 1:17 of OT, on a 2-on-1 with Blaine Caton. “They are a big team that works hard.” Mitch Profeit, who had lots of family and friends from Prince George supporting him, was sharp in making 30 saves for the win. Kristian Stead of

the Wranglers was stellar in registering 36 stops as the Knights outchanced 100 Mile. Brett Hawrys put the Knights (5-0-0-1) ahead at 13:21 of the opening period with linemates Lambert and Dennon Leibel drawing assists. Luke Santerno replied for the Wranglers (3-3-0-1) on a powerplay a minute later. Head coach Shawn Webb wasn’t surprised to see the Knights struggle early after a long wait in downtown 100 Mile before face-off. He gave the Hawrys line props for being effective all weekend, while praising 16-year-old rookie Caton for some No. 99-like moves. “It was the best offensive showing so far for Blaine Caton,” said Webb. “He undressed some players with some sick stickwork.” There were just five minor penalties called by referee Ryan Dawson. Next up for the Knights are the 3-4 Osoyoos Coyotes Friday night. North Okanagan visits the 4-3 Kelowna Chiefs Saturday night in Rutland.

The Vernon Home Building Centre Vipers stuffed the Pursuit of Excellence 10-4 in Okanagan Mainline Midget Tier 1 Hockey League season-opening play Saturday in Lumby. Jagger Williamson supplied 3+2 for the Vipers, while Cole Woodliffe added 1+4 and other goals came from Logan Imrich, Hayden Chase, Lee Springer, Nick Higgs, Jeff Bochon, and Griffin Fried. Vernon fired five goals in the third period. Austin Goss faced 28 shots from the shortstaffed POE crew. The Vipers bowed 5-3 to the Okanagan Hockey Academy Sunday in Penticton with Latwat and Jacob Dolinar each getting 1-1 and Nick Higgs scoring from Springer and Tucker. Josh Evans took the loss, facing 31 shots. The Sladen Moore Bantam A Female Lakers stopped host Kelowna 9-4 Sunday in exhibition play. With only six returnees, the Lakers are 5-0 in the pre-season. The league has added Penticton, Kelowna and Castlegar this season. The Lakers are in the Kelowna tournament this weekend. Before their game, the Sladen Moore girls cheered on Vernon’s newest all Female team, the Summitt Financial PeeWee/ Atom Lakers. The Watkins Motors Pee Wee Tier 1 Mustangs fell 7-3 and 5-2 to the host Prince George Cougars in regular-season play. Tyler Sedlacek and Kobe Grant both showed strong foundations in net for the Mustangs, who have 10 first-years. Rowan Miller, Trevor Kennedy, Lochlan O’Keefe, Cole Boyarski and Gavin Fleck supplied the Vernon goals. The Sun Valley Source For Sports Bantam Tier 1 Vipers went to 6-0 in the pre-season with a 9-6 win Saturday in Kamloops.

Chase. “We have good team size and speed with all three lines able to score either from forced turnovers on the forecheck or off the rush. “We have an excellent goaltending duo, and six strong, mobile d-men that will be involved in the offence as well.” Vernon opens the regular season Saturday (2 p.m.) versus Kamloops at Civic Arena. The Nixon Wenger Tier 2 Pee Wee Jr. Vipers remained unbeaten in exhibition play with a 16-1 thrashing of the host Penticton Jr. Vees Sunday at Memorial Arena.

Eagles seek identity Continued from A24

Browns vs United in 45+ league final

“At this stage in the game, we’re very ecstatic about the win against a good team,” said Schaefer. “We definitely have to work on a lot of things, but it’s early in the season.” Schaefer felt the Eagles played with more grit and energy on the smaller NHL-sized ice. Surrey has an Olympic rink, where they lost 4-1 to Vernon the night before. His team is also trying to find its personality. “We’re probably gonna see two different teams at the end of the year with Vernon being the RBC host, and now we can move on to divisional games and wish them all the best on this side.” The game was a homecoming for former Viper and Vernon minor hockey grad Michael Roberts, who centered a line with Alex Whitwham and Darius Davidson. “It was pretty crazy with a lot of travel hours for both teams, but both teams played hard and split the series,” said Roberts, 18. “Both games were back and forth.”

to earn game MVP. Jakob Jones (2), Isaac Thomas and Steel Quiring completed the offence. The Valley Wood back end of Jace Weir, Isaac Thomas, Gage Stoll, Ronac Chauhan and Connor Elliott (4A) were outstanding with clutch shot blocks and penalty killing. The Jr. Vipers got great goaltending by Swiscoski and Hamming and were able to hang on to clip Kamloops 4-3 Saturday at Valleyview Arena. Quiring scored once, battled hard and kept the intensity up all game for MVP. Other scorers were Boden, Jakob Jones and Porter Trevelyan. The Jr. Vipers smothered Kelowna 8-2 in their weekend opener Friday night at Kal Tire Place, getting two goals apiece from game MVP Zac Funk and Jones. Trevelyan, Boden, Austin Roest and Cody Beckner supplied singles. D-man Gage Stoll also had a strong game with some great heads-up plays and two assists. “We seem to be a resilient team,” said Valley Wood head coach Scott Palfreyman, “We find ourselves down a goal or two early, battle back, and come on strong by the end of the game. The kids are really starting to gel well as a group.”

Another year, another Kelowna-Penticton playoff final in the Capri Insurance 45+ Soccer League. Second-place Penticton grounded the Leko Precast Camels of Vernon 5-1 under the lights in Summerland, while first-place Brown Benefits bounced fourth-place North Country Appraisals Kickers 4-0 in semifinals Monday night. Browns stopped United in the 2012 final and lost just one game this year. The final is scheduled for Sunday (7 p.m.) at Beasley Park in Lake Country. Darren Schimpf hammered in a low shot off a rebound to put Penticton up 1-0 in the second minute. Five minutes later, another corker by Ken Horncastle slipped through Camel keeper Dave Dutcher’s hands and Dave Killick made it 3-0 on a one-timer under the bar in the 12th minute. Zeke Pescada made it 4-0 on a rocket free kick from 35 yards over the wall at Dale Meadows Park before midfielder Paul Morgan danced around two defenders and scored from just inside the 18 for the Humpbacks. Zane Klym just missed twice from six yards as the Camels pressed hard to get back in the game. before the break and early in the second half. Kevin Kothlow completed the scoring on a breakaway in the 75th minute. In Kelowna, Browns got the winner at 10 minutes when the Kickers’ Roy Hannem blocked a shot in his own box with a slide tackle. Dante Zanatta stepped up and calmly converted the penalty kick. Browns then poured on the pressure with speedsters Tony Gonzales and Lionel Hoffman continually causing panic in the North Country back end. Hoffman finally broke through to go 1-on-1 with keeper David Gadd and slotted the ball top, left corner to make it 2-0 at the half. North Country came out after the break and mounted a number of attacks on Steven Heiss’s goal, but the Brown defence held firm with Heuser and Campbell having marvellous games. Heiss made a number of top-drawer saves for the shutout. Hoffman made it 3-0 in the 70th minute after Gonzales turned North Country’s defence inside out, setting him up with a tap-in from six yards. Gonzales added the final snipe at 85 minutes when he coolly placed a penalty into the right corner after Matt Cherrille had blocked a certain goal with a slide tackle to give up the penalty.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder COUNTING WINNERS CAN BE PREFERABLE Casey Stengel, elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966, said, “Without losers, where would the winners be?” In bridge, of course: A winner for one pair is a loser for the opponents. And when you are the declarer, you are advised to count your losers before playing from the board at trick one. After doing that, if you can also count your winners in a reasonable length of time -- say, five minutes! -- you should do so. I estimate that on about 20 percent of deals, counting winners will make the best line of play apparent. In this example, West leads the spade jack against four hearts. How should

South play? South has four potential losers: one in each suit. And if that is as far as declarer went, he would probably win the first trick in his hand, cash the club ace and play a club to dummy’s queen. When it lost to East’s king and a spade came back, South would win on the board and try the diamond finesse (a better bet than the heart finesse, which would need East to have exactly king-doubleton). But when that finesse lost also, declarer would go down one and complain about bad luck. Now count winners. South has 10: two spades, five hearts, two diamonds and one club. All he needs to do is win with his spade king, cash the diamond ace, and play the diamond

queen. West wins and leads another spade, but declarer takes that on the board and discards his remaining spade on the diamond jack. Then he plays on trumps, home and dry. Count losers and winners; at least one will help.

Sandy experienced many tumultuous times in her earlier years, and it was through the unconditional support of her great friend and mentor, Hidden Wolf, that she found peace and her purpose here, supporting the healing of the community around her. Sandy’s focus was mainly on the youth of our community and she dedicated the later part of her life to working with youth with addiction and mental health issues. Sandy spent many years working for the Friendship Centre as the Aboriginal Youth Outreach Worker, then later contracted with the school district, developing and teaching an aboriginal focused drug and alcohol program, and most famous and well-known by many for her Hoop Dance classes. Sandy also opened her heart and her home to many children in foster care.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Gail on September 21, 2013 in Vernon, BC, born August 19, 1946 in Vancouver, BC.

Sandy is survived by her father, James Millar; stepmother Gherdi Winters; sisters Shelley Gold, Shawna Gold, and Shannon McCarvill; step-sister Dianne Blask; stepbrother Daryll Sheeler; and numerous nieces and nephews. Also special friends Hidden Wolf, Daisy, Shelley, Robin, Sandra, Colleen, Susan, Kevin, Tania, BeBe, and especially Michelle, and so many of our community’s children. Predeceased by mother, Pauline Schnell, brother James (Jimmy) Millar, and husband Al Oda.

Gail enjoyed camping, gardening, Ŭniƫng, cooŬing, and travelling with Tom and Sandi Schram. She worked at Safeway and Super Value in Burnaby, BC and she loved her cats. Her greatest achievements were being a wife, mother, homemaker, and a grandma; she truly enjoyed the simple things in life.

There will be a gathering of friends and family in honour of Sandy on Saturday, October 5th, 3 pm, in Polson Park, southwest corner. All are welcome. Potluck (please bring a dish to share), please bring your drums, and a chair or blanket. Everyone welcome to share their thoughts, memories, and kind words.

She is survived by her loving husband of 45 years: Robert BaƩensby; daughter: Karen ( arren) Schram; grandson: Kayden Schram; sisters: Barbara Grainger, Gerry Yates, and Barbara Summerfeldt.

In lieu of flowers, Sandy would like donations to be made to the healing centre of your choice.

She is predeceased by her daughter: Brenda; mother: orothy Yates; and brother: Cliīord Yates.

“May the Creator bless your day.”

In Memoriam

In Memoriam

In Loving Memory

Jason DuMont March 17, 1986 ~ October 3, 2006 Don’t think of him as gone away his journey’s just begun, Life holds so many facets this earth in only one. Just think of him as resting from the sorrow and the tears In a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years Think how he must be wishing that we could know today How nothing but our sadness can really pass away And think of him as living in the heart of those he touched For nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so much. Love the family & pets
