A new place to play Morning Star Staff

LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

Caia Wilson (left), Canyon Swartz and Maya Johnson test out the new playground next to the Dogwood Gym Thursday at the Greater Vernon Recreation Centre. The playground is open to the public and is located between the rec complex and the Vernon Curling Club.

It was a monkey-style celebration Thursday as preschoolers swung from the bars of the new playground at the Vernon Recreation Complex The playground has provided a safe and accessible outdoor space for kids to play. “It is great to have an outdoor space like this for children to enjoy, and this is the result of a collective effort,” said MLA Eric Foster. Involved in the initiative were the Regional District of North Okanagan, the Ministry of Community Development, Kal Tire and Tire Stewardship B.C. As part of its 60th anniversary, Kal Tire awarded RDNO with funding for the recycled rubber surface for the playground. “It was a great way to show our thanks for the 60 years of community support,” said Tracy Cobb, Kal Tire’s director of communication. The playground is open to the public, and is located between the recreation complex and the Vernon Curling Club. “It is this type of community collaboration that allows great projects like this to happen, and the benefits are very evident,” said Patrick Nicol, RDNO chairperson.

Economy highlighted in city plan RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

With some residents heading north to look for work, City of Vernon officials admit something must be done to reverse that trend. The draft official community plan, which was endorsed by council this week, has a specific section dedicated to the economy. “I hope that in the budget process, we look at economic development,” said

Coun. Catherine Lord. Lord believes staff may need more financial resources to do everything expected of them. “They need more ability to tap into (potential investor) contacts and that can mean more time on the road,” she said. There is also a push to have the OCP focus on the current lack of industrial land because that is preventing some investors from moving here. “That has to be in the forefront,” said

Coun. Brian Quiring, adding that a solution has to be found within Vernon and not in adjacent jurisdictions. “We have to look at what we will do in 10 years and identify where is the right spot for industrial uses. It could be around the airport or the sewage treatment plant.” Vernon’s draft OCP covers land-use activities for the community, while also dealing with issues such as transportation, affordable housing, parks and culture. Once adopted, the 2013 document will

replace the 2008 OCP. One issue that is currently being reviewed is hillside development guidelines. “There are a lot of subdivided building lots that are vacant and not appropriate for families with children,” said Quiring, adding that the situation inflates the number of overall building lots available in Vernon. “I don’t know how we will get out of this problem.”

Verma found guilty of first degree murder She was wearing a green plaid jacket and running shoes that did not fit her. Those items belonged to Mike Roberts, who had lent his truck to Verma on April 6 after Verma mentioned he needed a different vehicle for a business deal near Big White. After Roberts’ truck was returned, Verma told him not to tell anyone he had lent out his truck. After weeks of Verma checking that Roberts hadn’t told anyone – and around the time police seized Roberts’ truck and Labonte’s firearms as part of their investigation – Verma told Roberts he had to “take the fall.” “You have to take the fall for this....If you don’t I have no choice but to kill you, your wife, your children and your grandchildren,” said Verma as he pressed his hand into Roberts’ stomach with a gun gesture. “I’m sorry, that’s just how we do business.” Text messages between Verma and Labonte, who spent a lot of time together, also took a turn, with Verma telling Labonte to keep his “ f---ing mouth shut” around the same time. Verma was eventually arrested on June 25, 2010 and charged in Irving’s death. At the time, he was described as a former member of the Independent Soldiers.

rittney Irving’s brother blurted out “yes” and supporters of Joelon Verma began to sob after a jury found Verma guilty of first degree murder in the death of Irving three years ago. The verdict Thursday afternoon came more than 48 hours after a Kelowna jury of six men and six women began deliberations and was followed by the imposition of the mandatory sentence for Brittney Irving first degree murder – life without parole for 25 years. Verma, 32, had no visible reaction upon hearing the verdict, but had tears in his eyes and swallowed hard as he looked at his emotional supporters after being sentenced. Outside court, Irving’s mother, Sandra, expressed relief with the outcome. “I’m happy,” she said as she leaned on son Joze Macculloch. “I’m a happy, happy girl.” When asked what she would say to Verma if she had the opportunity, she told reporters: “I don’t think I could say it on TV.” Kisa Crane, an Irving family supporter who sat through much of the trial, noted that Irving, a former Armstrong resident, was just 24 and made mistakes, like many of us. “She didn’t get an opportunity to correct those mistakes, like most of us do. Her life, we don’t know what it would have been.... Now he won’t be able to find out what his life will be either,” she said. Crane expressed gratitude for the efforts of the Crown and for the witnesses who put their

During the trial, the jury heard that Irving, who was looking to make money to pay for legal fees after her grow operation was busted, teamed up with Verma for a large marijuana deal. On April 6, 2010, Irving had gathered up more than $100,000 worth of marijuana before Verma, who she was dating, took her to the bush outside Kelowna and shot her four times – twice in the back and then twice as she

lay on the ground. The jury’s conclusion that Verma is guilty of first degree murder means that they found Verma planned to kill Irving. A day after Irving was last seen alive, she was reported missing by her family and her vehicle was found off Philpott Road, east of Kelowna. While police questioned Verma after she went missing – he said they were supposed to meet for a two pound marijuana deal but she didn’t show – police

didn’t catch a break until Verma’s cousin, Jason Labonte, told investigators he saw Irving and Verma together at his house on April 6. Labonte also told officers he had been contacted by Verma that same afternoon, asking for help after he got stuck in the bush. When officers returned to the location – a side road jutting off McCulloch Forest Service Road – with a police service dog on April 26, they soon found Irving, deceased.

ernment has a limited role in the process. “We as a government, under legislation, cannot force amalgamation on an incorporated municipality,” he said. “We do not force amalgamation on anyone.” The citizen-based Society for the Future Governance of Greater Vernon is circulating a petition that asks local and provincial authorities to develop a plan to combine Vernon, Coldstream and Areas B and C into a single entity. Foster says any calls for a governance restructuring study or a

referendum must come from the communities themselves. “If the proponents of the petition get a large number of names, it will be up to local government to say to the province they want a study,” he said. If officials from Vernon, Coldstream and the electoral areas refuse, Foster believes the society will have to consider its options.

“The proponents would have to look at the next civic election (November 2014) and decide what to do. Do you run pro-amalgamation candidates?” he said. The petition was launched Sept. 8, and while he has had discussions with the society, Foster hasn’t been approached by residents on the topic. “I have heard almost

nothing. I’m surprised because I thought I’d hear something,” he said. “I thought I would see a lot of letters to the editor in the paper or e-mails to my office. There doesn’t seem to be the interest I expected.” Foster would not speculate on why he has not been contacted by residents on possible amalgamation. There has been limited discussions with local politicians. “They aren’t making much comment. They just want to know what the process would be if this goes forward,” he said.

North Okanagan staff will consider whether a separate process is needed for land use issues at Cosens Bay, south of Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park, or if it can be addressed through the broader Area B official community plan. “Staff will see if these items can be dealt with together or separately,” said director Bob Fleming.

Crown seeking longer sentence roger knox Morning Star Staff

Crown counsel wants more time in jail for a disgraced Vernon lawyer. Crown presented arguments in the B.C. Court of Appeal in Vancouver asking for a longer sentence for William Mastop, who pleaded guilty earlier this year to participating in the activities of a criminal organization and was sentenced one year in jail. “The Crown’s position is that the court should consider increasing the sentence to twoand-a-half years,” said Neil MacKenzie, spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice’s criminal justice branch. MacKenzie said it is

Crown’s position that the one-year sentence imposed was not an appropriate sentence in the circumstances. Mastop entered a guilty plea in December 2012 to participating in

the activities of a North Okanagan criminal organization. He was arrested in January 2010 in Lake Country. A decision on the appeal has been reserved

and no specific date has been set for a decision on the matter. It’s believed Mastop is the first lawyer in Canada charged with participating in the activities of a criminal organization.

The book I read

like to read newspapers, which is a good thing seeing how I’ve worked for one for a few decades now, and I don’t mean just this one. Although of course I read this one and I encourage all to do so likewise, from cover to cover, all sections, flyers, online and in print, etc., etc. Ahem. It’s a bit of an occupational hazard but I’ve always been into checking what’s going on in newspaperland. So when I go shopping on Saturday I have to check out the national dailies to see what’s up and if something catches my eye I buy it, whether it be The Vancouver Sun, The Globe and Mail or The National Post. And if I happen to Glenn Mitchell be staying at a hotel out of town I always snag the free paper at the front desk, or if it’s a real nice hotel, I get one delivered to my door in the morning. I love that service. But what I find happens is these weekend papers are full of longer features and news articles that I don’t quite get the time to make my way all the way through and a pile begins to collect near my side of the bed that tends to get bigger as the days progress, rather than the opposite. I hate to tell you the date on some of these babies but there’s always something in at least one of the sections that I plan to read, someday, so I don’t recycle quite as often as, well, say, my wife would like. Although I have a feeling that someone, and I’m not saying who, but if the other two members of the family did it I would be very surprised (actually astonished would be a better word), who may be taking papers from the bottom of the stack and recycling them without my knowledge. At this time though it’s just a hunch and no formal charges are being considered. But of course a better solution would be to actually finish reading them on my own, and that does happen on occasion but in the meantime I buy another one and add some of it to the pile and so it goes.... So if I have trouble reading an entire weekend

MitChEll’S MuSingS

national newspaper, you might wonder how I can handle something even more substantial, like say a magazine or, a real live book. Well, I have to admit, next to the pile of newspapers next to my bed is a secret stash of old magazines, again dates to be kept secret, that I’ve also been meaning to get to. Most are Sports Illustrated from when I had a subscription. I have perused them and read them at least partially but there’s always something in there, that when I have more time (which never seems to happen) I want to look at a little closer (i.e. actually read). There’s also some Maclean’s I stole off my dad and a few other titles that I’ve acquired, and again this pile seems to somehow get smaller before I can attend to it, and, again, I have a suspect in mind. But what I really wanted to tell you this week, and hopefully before I run out of space, is that I have achieved a personal milestone of sorts. Sure the two piles are still there and on my list of things to be dealt with, but somehow I actually managed to find the time to also read a book. Actually two books. From cover to cover and I enjoyed them too. It’s likely sad for an English major to proclaim to the world he’s read a book, as if it’s some kind of accomplishment, but in this world of hundreds of TV channels with news and sports basically non-stop, the Internet, social media, cell phones, video games, not to mention the more traditional forms of media next to my bed, and of course work and raising kids and maintaining a relationship (hi honey) and of course household chores and an increasingly limited attention span, I’m going to feel good about it. And one was a classic I’ve been meaning to read forever. I read Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms (bit depressing but impressive and likely revolutionary for 1929) and Neil Young’s Waging Heavy Peace, which I wouldn’t call revolutionary but nevertheless an interesting and enjoyable glimpse into the mind of the legendary Canadian singer, songwriter, activist, etc. If you get the chance check them out. Meanwhile I’m going to dive into that pile this weekend, unless the weather’s good or I happen to buy another paper and......

Kudos must be given to the city first for recognizing the fact that there is a lack of good-paying jobs in this town, which in turn is forcing young, skilled workers out of town (most headed to northern B.C. and Alberta). But actions speak louder than words, so Vernon must also be applauded for making a special section in its OCP to improve the economy and keep skilled workers in town. A lack of industrial lands is one area the city is examining, noting the lands around the airport or sewage treatment plant as potential options. Perhaps the city should also be working with its neighbours to identify lands, since areas such as Coldstream not only have the land, but the infrastructure to accommodate industrial use – case in point: the former Lavington glass plant, which has sat abandoned for years since O-I moved out of the region. But keeping workers in town is about more than helping to create jobs. Even if more high-paying jobs are brought in, challenges still exist for the rest. The fact is, a lot of people can’t afford the Okanagan lifestyle. The cost of living often adds up to more than many take home. Food, gas (although there appears to be a break at the pumps recently), utilities and housing all add up to more than many can handle, which is exactly why people are forced to head north for work. These factors are largely out of municipal control, therefore our provincial and federal leaders are needed to also make a difference. That includes lobbying from local politicians, but also from individuals letting the powers that be know the local economy should be a priority for everyone.

Local access to product is vital

he day is fast approaching when new federal government regulations covering the production and sale of cannabis will be implemented. Commercial growers will be permitted to grow, package and send by secure mail certain amounts of dried cannabis to patients who have a prescription for the product from a physician. Under the legislation, B.C. is favoured by the federal government. It is the only province in the country whose residents will be permitted to make other products such as resin or hash from the dried cannabis. But it appears that no one at the federal level has acknowledged that many users of medicinal cannabis do not smoke or inhale it. Instead, they need access to processed products including cannabis oil, juice and ointment. Very few patients know how to process or distil cannabis themselves. And how do such patients gain access to these processed items? At the moment, they do so at dispen-

bus blues I am writing in response to the Oct. 2 article, "Fees possible for some students." I would like to respond to trustee Mitzi Fortin's comments that she would, "like to explore looking at charging for busing to those students," who choose to attend schools outside of their catchment areas. My son is one such student. I would like Mitzi Fortin and the other trustees to know that my son has very long days because of busing to another school. He does not attend the school in our catchment area because the school in our catchment area does not offer French immersion education. Some of the other kids on my son's bus are also going outside of our catchment for this same reason. My husband is a Quebec-born and raised francophone and we feel it is culturally important to pass on the French language, one of Canada's official languages, to our son. Without French language skills, my son would not even be able to speak to his own grandfather, who

Where will they go? The pharmacists are certainly not willing to help them. They heaved a collective sigh of relief

still lives in Quebec and is not bilingual. We do not see this as a choice but as a right. Therefore, we have no other option but to bus our son to a different catchment area and we do not feel we, nor anyone else, should be made to pay for busing to another catchment area, when the nearby schools do not offer education in their preferred national language. I hope the trustees will consider this when making their decision. Name Withheld charter questioNed As a white, stereotypical female and a Montreal-born male Canadian living in B.C., we cannot begin to understand how the PQ's Charter of Values has made it this far. It is mind blowing. Someone needs to stop this before it becomes a crisis. We believe that onus falls on the rest of Canadians. The world is watching. If the PQ wants to push through a such a government submissive, mono-cultural and downright prejudice Charter of Values, maybe the rest of English-speaking Canada

when then-health minister Leona Aglukkaq announced earlier this year that the new regulations would not require or allow for pharmacists to dispense medicinal cannabis. So, will patients, whose use of cannabis has stabilized their condition, eased their pain, reduced their spasms, or given them hope where there was no hope before, and

should push to preserve our heritage that does not include Quebec's French values. Shall we make it imperative they speak only English in hospitals, daycares and schools as this is our dominant value throughout the rest of Canada? Wouldn't make you feel very included or valued, would it Mme. Marois? When we step into our local hospital, drop one of our children off with their teacher (minority or not) or pass through our local supermarket, we do not pay attention to the religious affiliation of the person. In fact, if we do notice, we fight the urge to ask questions because we are interested in their story — how their family came to be here, what their beliefs are, their journey. It makes us proud to be Canadian and that they would choose us. If Mme. Marois is choosing to take this charter any further, maybe the rest of Canada should bring back the separation referendum and all Canadians be allowed to vote on whether or not we choose, as a country, to include a province that choos-

rely on a local dispensary today, then be expected to create their own oil, juice or ointment, after opening a package containing dried cannabis sent to them by a qualified commercial grower? I hope not. If today's legal users of medicinal cannabis wish to continue to have stress-free access to it, they have to let government and society at every level know that it is imperative that such dispensaries be permitted to continue to operate. So contact your local mayor and members of council; phone the RDNO; write to B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake at hlth.minister@gov.bc.ca; or contact federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose at www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ contact/ahc-asc/minist-eng.php Speak to Colin Mayes or to Eric Foster. Contact anyone or any organization willing to help you air your concerns. Local access to medicinal cannabis products is vital to the health of thousands of Canadians. Jo Jones

es to persecute the values and rights of all Canadians that do not fit Mme. Marois' mold of cultural perfection? Mme. Marois, realize everyone is a minority in someway and somewhere, unless you are of First Nations heritage. Recognize that your province will be a big black growth on the globe of economics. No global commerce or economic growth is going to look at Quebec as a viable choice for business opportunities with policies that create an exclusive environment that is inhospitable to anyone other than your cookie-cutter Quebecer. In a province that enjoys 54 per cent of the GDP, noting the highest gross debt in Canada as well as weak economic growth forecasted at less than 1.5 per cent, maybe Mme. Marois should consider not scaring away Quebec's immigrant population that is holding her provincial employee demographic together. However, if she chooses to follow through with such a charter, I am sure there are many provinces that would have open arms to the religious refugees Quebec will have

created.

Parks and rec review clarified Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

Coldstream’s role in the service reviews for parks and recreation is being clarified. The review, which was a lengthy process, resulted in the restructuring of the Regional District of North Okanagan parks and recreation function. While Coldstream had concerns about the previous structure of parks and recreation, Mayor Jim Garlick points out that Coldstream did not initiate the reviews. “We have taken part but not had a chance to start any of them,” said Garlick, noting that the first set of 19 reviews on value for money were initiated by the City of Vernon.

The parks and rec review was dropped by Vernon only to be restarted by Areas B and C, Garlick explains. When the three-year time limit ran out on that review, Area C renewed the review process. “This entire review has taken far longer and more effort than first thought,” said Garlick of frustrations that include financial information being provided in bits and pieces over the past year. But as more information becomes available, it is clarifying the function for the member areas. “We are getting a better picture of the costs and levels of service written and actual,” said Garlick. “If nothing else it is getting information better organized for the service to be better managed in the future, no matter the structure.”

YOU AND THE LAW PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA AFTER A CAR CRASH By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. You have heard about soldiers returning from war zones with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But traumatic events much closer to home can also have serious psychological consequences and leave deep emotional scarring. Motor vehicle crashes are frequent causes of emotional as well as physical injury. It is not uncommon to be depressed, anxious or afraid to ride in a vehicle again after an accident. Sometimes the emotional, cognitive and psychological consequences can be long-lasting and disabling. If you suffer serious psychological injuries as a result of a car crash, you could be entitled to money compensation. Consider this recent B.C. court case, where the claim was mostly about the victim’s psychological and emotional injuries. Jane (real name changed) was a front seat passenger in a VW Beetle driven by her husband when they were struck in a head-on collision. The other driver, who was responsible for the crash, was killed in the accident. Jane injured her neck, shoulders, chest, lower back, abdomen, left hip, left knee and tailbone in this accident.

the car accidents. This included treatment from a trauma counsellor, a clinical counsellor and a psychologist for her emotional and psychological injuries. More than six years after the first, very serious accident, Jane continued to suffer from serious psychological injury (she also had chronic pain problems from her physical injuries). While most of her injuries were due to the first fatal car crash, the two later accidents made her condition worse. Medically, she was diagnosed with chronic adjustment disorder and depressive mood. She also suffered from PTSD, in her case characterized by nightmares and flashbacks, crying spells and fears of driving and being a passenger in a car. Formerly a strong person with an optimistic and upbeat personality, she became a more emotionally fragile one, likely on a long-term basis. Even with further psychotherapy, her ability to function adequately in a stressful work environment in future was in doubt.

Richard

She also remembered seeing a lady hanging out of the other car’s window with blood coming from her mouth (and kept thinking it might have been her or her husband who had died). She was rear-ended in two more minor car accidents some years afterward. In both cases, the other drivers were at fault. Her physical injuries in the second accident were minor, but it brought up bad memories for her and she recalled crying hysterically at the scene. There were no significant injuries from the third accident. Jane had no previous history of emotional difficulties. She was treated extensively for her physical as well as her psychological injuries from

Richard P. Barton

If you require assistance in dealing with ICBC, or any insurance or other personal injury matters, please contact Richard Barton for information on how we can help you.

The court decided Jane should get $110,000 for her “pain and suffering” including her P. Barton psychological injuries. She also got judgment for $96,000 for her reduced earning ability – for example, because of her psychological difficulties, she would not be able to run her own business in future. And she collected some additional amounts, for past wage loss and past and future treatment costs. Cases involving psychological injuries on top of physical ones tend to be more complex. They involve intangible, hard-to-pin-down factors that may be difficult to prove in a court hearing. After an accident, you should seek good medical and legal help as soon as possible. This will help ensure the best possible recovery, and fair compensation for the unfortunate accident consequences.

a possible tax hike Tuesday, members of the White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee have not gone that route yet. “We still haven’t got all of the facts and figures together yet so it’s hard to say what we’re looking at,” said chairperson Randal Ostafichuk. “But we want to get our capital reserves up to where they should be.” Traditionally, the parks and recreation tax requisition has increased three to four per cent annually. No funds for library The White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee is setting some limits as a landlord. The committee has turned down a request from Okanagan Regional Library to spend $900 on window covers at the branch in the White Valley Community Centre. “As a landlord, we are responsible for the building itself and this is more of a cosmetic matter,” said chairperson Randal Ostafichuk. ORL will have to cover the cost of the blinds if they are installed.

News Funds needed for transplant Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

Vernon born and raised Nicole Arnt and her husband with their daughter Aurora, born in South Africa, who needs a life-saving transplant only available in Canada.

A former Okanagan woman is hoping her hometown can help make a life-saving transplant possible for her three-month-old daughter. Nicole Arnt, born and raised in Vernon and who also lived in Kelowna, is now living in South Africa with her husband, where she gave birth to their daughter Aurora on July 4. “Aurora was diagnosed prenatally with gastroschisis, meaning her intestines were outside her body through a little hole in her abdomen,” explains Nicole. Normally such a condition is easily corrected but due to a rare complication of a blood clot, Aurora’s small intestines were destroyed due to a lack

of blood flow. With no intestines to absorb nutrition, Aurora must receive her nutrition through IV line instead of being able to eat. “To survive she must have a transplant which is only available to us in Canada,” said Arnt. “This is a huge unexpected expense for us and we need help to get her to Toronto Sick Kids and to move our life there.” The cost of taking air ambulance could be as high as $150,000 so the family is hoping for approval from a commercial flight (which could be much less – approximately $40,000) with extra seats for Aurora’s care by her medical escort. To help with the expense, the family is reaching out trying to raise the funds needed. “So far we have raised just over $13,000,” said Nicole, who attended Silver Star, Coldstream and Kidston elementary schools while in Vernon, where her father worked for Noca Dairy and mother’s family owned the Valley Fruit Stand chain before they moved to Kelowna when she was in Grade 6. The surgery Aurora needs would be performed in Toronto at Sick Kids, by doctor Paul Wales. “It takes about three to six months to wait for a transplant donor and in that time she will receive other treatment including chemotherapy which is needed to suppress her immune system so that she doesn’t reject the transplant,” said Nicole, a UBCO nursing degree student who created the group Global Nursing Citizens.

Paramedics and the Vernon Fire Department attend to the lone occupant of a vehicle after the driver missed the corner and launched into the park at Kin Beach Friday morning.

Hall seeks expansion roger knox Morning Star Staff

The Armstrong Spallumcheen Fire Department has requested a temporary addition to one bay of the fire hall be built to allow for the additional length of the new fire truck to be contained. The addition is until such time as the fire hall is renovated to fully accompany the new vehicle. “Basically, they have a new truck and no place to put it,” said Armstrong Coun. Paul Britton. In a report to Armstrong council, city administrator Patti Ferguson said the fire department requested a heated, covered area for the new truck. A temporary addition can be constructed at a price of $11,149.60 plus GST which would be shared by the city and the Township of Spallumcheen. “This temporary structure will fit the bill for the fire department, allowing all apparatus that must be inside given that it either holds water or is susceptible to being wet at the end of a fire call,” said Ferguson. The city voted in favour of spending its 50 per cent of the cost which does not include the price of the building permit nor any mechanical, electrical or painting quotes. For that reason, Coun. Ron (Sully) O’Sullivan voted against the motion. “It’s not that I’m against this but I oppose it on general principle,” said O’ Sullivan. “The price does not include the permit or electrical so I expect it will be higher than $11,000.” The city will reallocate funds from the existing budget toward the building of the temporary bay. Spallumcheen council is expected to review the issue at its next regular meeting Monday.

Project raises concerns roger knox Morning Star Staff

Neighbouring residents of a proposed new strata development at Armstrong’s Royal York Golf Course have voiced their concerns. More than 30 people – the majority of who live on Bradley Drive – crammed into Armstrong council chambers Tuesday for a public hearing on an official community plan and zoning bylaw that would change the land use designation of a 3.045 hectare portion of the subject property from recreational commercial to multi-family residential, and from the recreational commercial zone to a residential mixed density cluster housing zone. The changes are being considered to allow the construction of 46 bareland strata units (30 singlefamily homes and eight duplexes). Bareland strata means the development’s access road is owned by the people who own the lots, and the lots are maintained individually by the owners. Developer Patrick Place was on hand for the public hearing as were the applicants, the York family. The proposal also calls for parkland dedication of five per cent of the land south of the proposed development.

“We will ask staff to review all of the points.” — Chris Pieper

Bradley Drive resident Dan Rosler bought his home in 2006 and when his family sits on their deck, they have a view of a “nice green valley and (golf course) fairways eight, nine, one and part of three.” The development, he said, will take that away. “This proposal you have now will have three rows of buildings between my house and green belt of the golf course,” said Rosler. “I’m concerned about the devaluation of my property. The view was considered part of the value when I purchased the house. Every house along the north side of the street will have the same situation.” Len Eddy also spoke about his property dropping in value if the development goes ahead, something he believes is a foregone conclusion. “I am convinced this development will devalue my property as well as drastically affect the sale of my home in the future,” said Eddy. “The writing is on the wall as it is just a matter of time before I will be staring into someone’s

backyard rather than a golf course.” Ellen Wood would be in favour of the development if it was a 55-plus facility. As of now, she said, there’s no age bracket and that concerns her. Wood, who lives in a rancher-style home, also expressed concerns about the height of the proposed homes and duplexes. Other areas of concern expressed to coun-

cil about the development included emergency vehicle access, road size, pine beetle trees, RV parking, storm water collection and sewer concerns. Mayor Chris Pieper said the bylaw would not be proceeding until after staff prepared a report on the public hearing. ““We will ask staff to review all of the points brought up tonight and bring that back in a report so if we do go forward or it doesn’t go forward, we understand your views, aspirations and comments,” he said. The report is expected to take two-to-four weeks to complete before it is brought to council.

Vipers ride hot streak past Kings Vernon trio chosen for Canada West camp Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Vipers are officially the hottest team in the B.C. Hockey League. The Snakes pushed their win streak to five games with a 2-1 win over the league co-leading Powell River Kings Friday night at Hap Parker Arena. Mason Blacklock, with his seventh goal in four games, scored the winner on a man advantage with five minutes left in regulation as the Vipers improved to 8-4-1-2. Vernon held a share of second place in the Interior Division with the West Kelowna Warriors (9-4-0-1) heading into their Saturday-night tilt against the Nanaimo Clippers (6-7) at Frank Crane Arena. The Snakes wrap up a three-game road swing with a matinee today against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs (1-12-2-1) at Weyerhaeuser Arena. Vipers’ head coach Jason Williamson called Friday’s effort a greasy road win. He said the 10-2-0-1 Kings, renowned for their defence-first approach under head coach Kent Lewis, did a good job of clogDexter Dancs ging up the neutral zone, which limited the Vipers’ chances and forced them to wait for their opportunities. “I don’t think we were at the top of our game, but the sign of a good team is one that guts it out,” he said. “We limited their opportunities and were very disciplined.

Vernon Vipers’ forward TJ Dumonceaux knocks Powell River Kings’ Jarid Lukosevicius off the puck in B.C. Hockey League play Friday night at the Hap Parker Arena. Lots of good signs – blocking shots, good solid dee.” Dexter Dancs opened the scoring with his seventh of the season midway through the second period. Michael McNicholas wheeled up the wing, fired on Johah Imoo, and Dancs was there to put home the rebound. The 18-year-old North Vancouver product had a little extra edge to his game Friday after learning he didn’t merit an invite to the Canada West selection camp for the upcoming World Junior A Challenge. He ended up scrapping the Kings’ Kurt Keats in the second period after Keats

boarded Josh Betinol by the Vipers’ bench. “I was pretty disappointed,” said Dancs. “It was one of my goals at the start of the season to make the team. I’m going to use it as motivation and step up my game.” Added Williamson: “He probably had some fire after being snubbed for Canada West. He deserves to be there. He’s a kid who has taken his game to another level this year.” Vipers earning an invite to the Canada West camp, which goes Oct. 26-30, at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary, include defenceman Jared Wilson and forwards Blacklock and Demico Hannoun. The

group features 66 players from the B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario (SIJHL) junior A leagues. The six-team World Junior A Challenge, featuring Team East, Russia, U.S., Switzerland and the Czech Republic, goes Nov. 4-10, in Yarmouth, N.S. Ryan Scarfo (first star), with his teamleading ninth goal, replied for Powell River five minutes into the third period, taking advantage as the puck took a strange bounce from the corner to fool second star netminder Danny Todosychuk. Blacklock’s goal, his BCHL co-leading 15th, came on a slick passing play between Hannoun and Colton Sparrow, who fed Blacklock for a back-door tap-in. The Kings poured on the pressure late, pulling Imoo (15 saves) for an extra attacker with two minutes remaining. Vernon got huge shot blocks from Sparrow, Josh Bryan and several other defenders to help Todosychuk (25 saves) keep the hard-pressing Kings at bay in a wild finish. Todosychuk, a Vernon product, had just one win before backing the Vipers on their five-game run. With Austin Smith injured, the 18-year-old has made the most of the extra playing time. “When you’re on the ice and playing a lot and get in a rhythm, it’s a good thing,” said Williamson. “He was seeing the puck well and swallowing rebounds.” SNAKE BITES: Sparrow wore a face shield Friday night after he lost a couple of teeth taking a puck in the face Tuesday against the Trail Smoke Eaters...A pair of Vernon minor hockey products – Jordan Burns, a d-man with Powell River, and Alex Gillies, a forward with the Salmon Arm SilverBacks – were invited to the Canada West camp.

Knights open home stand with loss to Castlegar Morning Star Staff

The North Okanagan Knights suffered their third straight loss as they bowed 5-2 to the Castlegar Rebels in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League play Friday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Knights, now 7-4-0-1, came out strong in the first of a four-game home stand, earning a 2-1 lead early in the second period. Ryley Booth, burying his own rebound after a solid rush, and Colin Robin, going backhand, five-hole on Jordan Gluck,

t s a L

supplied North Okanagan’s offence. However, four straight second-period goals by the defending KIJHL champion Rebels (they beat North Okanagan in last year’s league final), derailed the Knights’ progress. “We played the best hockey I’ve seen us play all year,” said North Okanagan head coach Shawn Webb, of the first period. “But then we had a six-minute break and forgot what was giving us success.” Chase Reddin, Mike Bhatoa, Darren

Medeiros and Hunter Jenerou all solved Knights’ tender Mitch Profeit, who allowed four goals in 16 shots. He was relieved by Zach Dyment (nine saves). “He (Profeit) let in some pretty soft goals, and when those soft goals went in, we resorted back to some old tendencies,” said Webb. “We regrouped for the third, but ran into some penalty problems.” The 7-4-0-3 Rebels enjoyed 17 powerplays, scoring once. The Knights went 0-for10 on the man advantage.

Webb liked what he saw of the Knights’ limited 5-on-5 play, and feels they are close to rekindling their offensive mojo. “It was rolling four lines, hard. The tempo was great. We created enough chances to win. We are not far from exploding open.” Webb praised the play of Vernon Midget Tier 1 call-up Jeff Bochon, and returning d-man Dryden Profeit. North Okanagan hosts the 8-3-0-1 Kelowna Chiefs in a 3 p.m. matinee today at Nor-Val.

BETWEEN THE LINES

“I like football. I’ve got three kids, a billet and I’ve got 22 guys in here so there’s not much time for the NHL.” On coaching the Eagles, he said: “It’s good. I enjoy working with kids. I enjoy trying to move them on to the next level. I can kind of live through them now that my career’s over.” Still with the BCHL, Viper centre Michael McNicholas, a California product, on the difference between the Coastal and Interior Conferences. “It’s huge (difference). I think it’s (Interior) the best conference in the league for sure. A lot of the teams are just more dominant.” McNicholas has been winning most of his faceoffs while racking up points in his first year with the Vipers. He had 32 points in 35 games with Nanaimo Clippers last year. n D-man Chris Rygus of the Vees may be the strongest player in the BCHL. Rygus reeled off 32 reps, at 155 pounds, at the Vees’ training camp. The Mississauga product is a specimen at 6-foot-3, 220 pounds. Rygus landed in Penticton in a four-team deal involving the Coquitlam Express. He has also been the property of the AJHL Fort McMurray Oil Barons and Victoria Grizzlies. When dealt to the Vees on June 10, Rygus’ rights changed hands three times in one morning. He was with the Woodstock Slammers when they lost 4-3 to Penticton in the 2012 RBC Cup in Humboldt, Sask.

Pee Wee Vipers torch host Blazers Morning Star Staff

The Watkin Motors Vipers spotted the host Kamloops Blazers a goal off the opening faceoff and took over from there, jumpstarting the Darcy Robinson Memorial Pee Wee Tier 1 hockey tournament with a 5-1 win at MacArthur Island Arena. Vernon used two goals from Eric Noren and singles from Ben King, Rowan Miller and Lucas Zubrod to pull out the win. Cole Boyarski supplied Vernon’s lone snipe as the fatigued Vipers then fell 6-1 to St. Albert in their second tilt of the day. Meanwhile, Coleton Bilodeau collected the winner as the Five Star Awards Vipers opened a Bantam Tier 2 tourney Friday in Kelowna with a 3-2 win over West Kelowna.

Vernon scored first on a powerplay goal by Matt Kowalski, assisted by Reed Cashato, with 38 seconds left in period one. The Vipers dominated the offensive zone, but West Kelowna was strong on loose pucks in the slot and managed to keep Vernon to the outside. In the second frame, West Kelowna won a draw in Vernon’s zone and equalized on a redirection. Jason Shaigec restored Vernon’s lead before the break, assisted by Bilodeau and Grady Caton. Kieran Watts picked up the win. It took half a period for the North Okanagan Knights’ offence to get warmed up, but once it did, they rolled to a 16-1 win over host Kamloops in Pee Wee Tier 4 hockey league play Friday night.

Zone records fall

A pair of records were smashed in the North Zone Cross Country Running Championships Wednesday at Kal Provincial Park. A total of 72 high school runners competed on avery fast day with both the girls and boys course records shattered for the second straight year. Armstrong’s Mack Moody (Pleasant Valley Saints) was once again the class of the boys’ field knocking 15 seconds off the course record, finishing the 5.8-kilometre route in 21 minutes and 49 seconds. Vernon Panther Conner Johnston had his best race of the season, finishing second in 22:41, just five seconds ahead of Salmon Arm Golds’ Jon Bakker. Liam McGrath of Seaton was runner-up in the junior boys class, in 22:55, nine seconds behind winner Bruce Mobler of the Revelstoke Rams. Joey Kohut of the Fulton Maroons took fourth junior and eighth overall, at 23:50. Sam Eggert of VSS finished 14th

Hanna Bennison of the Panthers challenged Sim the whole way and placed one second back. The lead pair were a full two minutes ahead of the third-place runner, Emmy Sim of Salmon Arm. Megan Johnston of VSS was fourth in 17:23. Tabeau Nouschuet of the Seaton Sonics won the junior girls category in 19:44, good for 11th overall.

Junior Panthers on a roll Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Panthers made it three in a row as they grounded the host Valleyview Vikings 14-10 in junior boys varsity football league action Thursday afternoon in Kamloops. The Cats were led by the pinpoint passing of Grade 9 quarterback Keegan Vickland, who went 5-for-9 for 150 passing yards. He opened the contest with a 60-yard strike to Zack Hyer to give VSS an early 6-0 lead. The Vikes controlled the clock for most of the second and third quarters, but were held in check by Vernon’s defence. Justin Havercamp and Carson Lebreque delivered timely outside blitzes resulting in key losses for Valleyview. In the fourth quarter, the Panthers put together a solid drive, highlighted by a 30-yard snag by Hyer and another sensational catch by Ben Hladik

to put Vernon on the five-yard-line. Vickland capped it with a dart to Hladik. Haverkamp added a two-point convert on a well-blocked sweep to complete the scoring. The Vikings pressured the Panthers’ defence late, but a timely tackle by cornerback Liam Boyd relieved the pressure. “This was an ugly win,” said VSS head coach Dave Tetrault. “We turned the ball over four times. We found a way to hang in and won it at the end. “They were a much bigger team than us, but our boys weren’t intimidated. Our defence hung in there and Vickland stood tall in the pocket to win the game.” The Panthers host the Kelowna Owls on Wednesday before wrapping up the regular season against the host Westsyde Blue Wave in two weeks.

RATS hosting Kal Park run Morning Star Staff

Trail enthusiasts will have a chance to fill their dirt quota at the Kalamalka Park Cross-Country Run on Sunday, Oct. 27. The event, hosted by the Kal RATS, features 9.5and 2.5-kilometre loops and is the fourth leg of the Interior Running Association’s cross-country series. Registration is available online ($15) at www. zone4.ca, or on race day ($20) until 9:30 a.m. The race start is at 10 a.m. from the main parking lot of Juniper/Jade Bay, at the end of Kidston Road. The course is a mix of gravel trail and single track, with some challenging climbs and descents. “It’s a fun route to run that includes some spectacular views of Kal Lake,” said Laura Medcalf, race

director. “The course is really well marked and we have fantastic volunteers who not only direct you on the right path, but offer lots of enthusiastic words of encouragement.” The new 2.5-km ($8 registration, or $10 on race day) distance offers an easier alternative for kids and those who aren’t quite up to the full distance. “It’ll be a great addition for anyone who wants to try a cross-country race, but isn’t sure they are ready for the full distance,” said Medcalf. “New runners, new to trail runners and kids are all welcome to come give it a try. There will be prizes for best Halloween costume for each age group. More information about the race, and the Kal RATS, visit www.kalrats.com.

Knights’ offence ignites Continued from A19

Eli Dwyer, Griffin Evans (from Kevin Thomas Walters), Ryan Desilets (from Easton Hunter), Alex Gilowski (from Kord Haller) and Hunter (from Bryan Brew and Wesley Graves) handled the first-period scoring. Another five goals followed in the second frame, with Graves netting a hat trick, Walters with a single, and Gilowski pocketing his second. Assists went to Brew (2), Dylan Huber, Gilowski and Walters. The third-period offence was supplied by Dwyer (3) and Walters, Desilets and Evans, each with their second goal of the game. Thomas Burton earned the win. Lee Brodoway and Liam Curran each scored twice as the Vernon Authentic Trophies & Plaques Hawks grounded the Winfield Bruins 7-4

in North Okanagan Midget Super League action Friday night at Kal Tire Place. Brodoway, who had one assist, scored the Hawks’ final goal on a 150foot slapshot while penalty killing late in the third period. Jene Desjarlais, Josh Lerbeck and Kristian Currie supplied singles for Vernon, who got stellar goaltending from Jared Larsen and Rowan Wood. Brock Wagner pocketed two helpers. Ryan Geiger (2), Glenford Downey and Evan Farkas replied for the Bruins in the season opener for both teams.

IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURE Are loose dentures a problem for you? If your dentures shift while chewing or talking and you are tired of those embarrasing moments, consider dental implants for stabilization. Imagine your denture snapping into place, feeling solid and secure. Often a new denture is not necessary. Your existing denture can be made to fit your new implants.

Ya Ya Sisters have special bond lisa vandervelde Morning Star Staff

Friends often drift away over time, but these six childhood friends won’t be kept apart. The Ya Ya Sisters, Gloria Carusi, Gail Bowen and Marg Meade (Gail and Marg are sisters), Carol Marks, Janice James and Jolie McIntyre, have been friends for more than 50 years and even though their lives have led them to different parts of the country, and the world, they still make a commitment to get together every couple of years. Carusi, Bowen and Meade were neighbours and started playing together at the

age of five and four-years-old. Bowen and Marks were in Grade 1 together, with Meade starting the next year. The four of them spent each summer together at Gail and Marg’s family cottage in Caesarea, Ont. There, they met James at age 13. Meade went to nursing school where she met McIntyre at the age of 18-yearsold, and the rest is history. The six women married, four had children, and all are still happily married living in Vernon, Ontario and Scotland. They usually have their reunions in Toronto where their friendship started,

but this year the group met in Vernon at the home of Carol Marks. Each women made the journey from across the country and Scotland, where Meade now lives, to spend time together in the Okanagan. When asked what friendship means to her, Carusi replied, “Carol, Gail, Janice, Marg and Jolie are what friendships means to me.” The ladies enjoyed their time together taking in the sights of the Okanagan and most importantly, catching up on each others lives. The Ya Ya Sisters favourite quote is from Aristotle, “Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two (six) bodies.”

News Business proposes upgrades roger knox

Bike & Board

Morning Star Staff

Upgrades are forthcoming to an Armstrong gas station. Council is recommending issuance of a development permit to Arjun Esso at 3210 Smith Drive. The company has proposed a new twostorey structure at the rear of the property to accommodate tire sales and tire installation. “The proposed building will contain two bays, a retail display area, an office and a covered work area on the ground floor with a small storage area on the mezzanine,” said Coun. Ryan Nitchie, chairperson of the city’s planning and development committee. The building is proposed to be constructed from concrete block, and the south side is proposed to be faced with red metal siding. It would replace the existing tire sales and service area. In a report to council, the city’s public works manager expressed concerns about vehicle circulation, specifically the principal use for the station occurring in various locations on the property: gasoline sales, convenience store, auto servicing, tire sales and service, propane sales, outdoor storage and sani-dump facilities. “The applicant has stated that the two existing bays will be closed to be replaced by additional commercial retail, and the sanidump will be discontinued,” states a report to council. Nitchie believes the upgrades will enhance the entrance to the community. “I certainly think this is a nice opportunity for the city to see improvements to one of the key buildings as you enter the community.” Parking, drainage, and landscaping details have to be clarified before the permit is issued. Council voted unanimously in favour of the application.

Society wraps up season Morning Star Staff

Thanksgiving wrapped up a bountiful season of giving for the Armstrong Food Initiative Society. The last day for produce sharing took place Monday at the community garden, where an average 187 pounds have been produced each Monday. “A good day to mark the ending because we have a lot for which to be thankful, a beautiful valley that produces plentiful and varied crops, good people who are willing to share their bounty and people who enjoy and value good food,” said Jill de la Salle, with AFIS. Each week, about 27 people accessed the fresh fruits and vegetables and food was also delivered to some seniors in the community, the Armstrong/ Spallumcheen Food Bank and Kindale. “The Armstrong Food Initiative would like to thank all the growers who were willing to share their crops with others,” said de la Salle. “We would especially like to thank the Hettlers of Pilgrim’s Produce, Nick Kicey, Ben Crozier, Trent Weins, and Clarence Glaicar for their regular and generous support of this program.” The program would also not have seen such success without the support of volunteers on Mondays (Janet Ashton, Joanne Sandaker and her crew of willing workers, Kelly Marks and Harvey de la Salle). Watch The Morning Star for spring announcements of when the program will start back up in 2014.

Centre hosting speaker Morning Star Staff

The Centre for Inquiry Okanagan presents Dr. Gary Bauslaugh to speak on humanism, social justice and the power of juries. The event takes place at 7 p.m. Thursday at the People Place, 1013402 27th Ave. In his recent book The Secret Power of Juries, Bauslaugh looks at famous examples of jury nullification, both positive and negative ones, and then examines, in detail, the arguments for and against jury nullification. The book ends with some suggestions for jurors should they find themselves in a situation where their consciences seem at odds with the law. Admission to hear Bauslaugh Thursday is free but donations to the People Place are appreciated. For more information, visit www.cfiokanagan.ca or contact zryder@cficanada.ca.

Special to The Morning Star

was wandering around Davison Orchards recently, taking in all of the colours and sights of the fall season, and couldn’t resist taking a photo of one of their gigantic piles of pumpkins. Pumpkins and fall always go hand in hand with Thanksgiving and Halloween. The trouble is, that while a few pumpkins may be eaten at Thanksgiving, Halloween’s crop is usually tossed to the compost pile. I use fresh ones left over at our local farms and stores following Halloween. There are so many great recipes for fresh pumpkin. First though, if you’d like to use your pumpkins for baking, do not peel, chop, or boil them as there will be far too much moisture in the final product. Cut your pumpkin in half. Clean out the seeds and pulp and then place both pieces, cut side down, on a parchment line cookie sheet. Bake at 325 to 350 F. until the pulp is soft and dry. Scoop out, puree, and you’re set to bake or freeze in measured amounts for a later time. The following recipes are favourites I’m sure you’ll enjoy. Beef Stew In A PumPkIn 2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided 1 cup water 3 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes 4 medium carrots, sliced 1 large green pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 medium onion, chopped 2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons beef bouillon granules 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained 1 pumpkin (10 to 12 pounds) In a Dutch oven, brown meat in two tablespoons oil. Add water, potatoes, carrots, green pepper, garlic, onion, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for two hours. Stir in bouillon and tomatoes. Wash pumpkin; cut a six to eight inch circle around top stem. Remove top and set aside; discard seeds and loosen fibers from inside. Place pumpkin in a shallow sturdy baking pan. Spoon stew into pumpkin and replace top. Brush outside of pumpkin with remaining oil. Bake at 325 for two hours

Frida Kahlo, Roy Lichtenstein pop art and Andy Warhol are popular costume ideas. “But of course, zombies and princesses need help with their hair and make-up as well,” said Kennedy Grant. “Come with a costume idea and let the artists add colour, texture, sparkle or gore to your costume this year. The gallery will have a photo booth set up for all participants following their appointments and images will be available for free download.” Participants are asked to register ahead of time by calling the Vernon Public Art Gallery at 250-5453173.

Halloween Concerns What a fun time of year, ghosts and goblins and all of the treats but don’t forget about our pets and the possible dangers surrounding this holiday. Our children are busy collecting their loot of candy but do they always store it away in a secure place? Curious cats and dogs can sniff treats from a far distance and certainly do not discern if the wrappers are still on. Wrappers when digested do not always pass through the intestinal tract without issue. Ingestion can cause diarrhea and possibly an intestinal blockage. Do remember that chocolate is toxic to our four legged friends. Ingesting the ingredient Theo Bromine which is found in chocolate can lead to serious complications. The first signs of possible ingestion are nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Increased urination can also occur. If your pet shows any sign of these symptoms seek immediate veterinary attention. Also consider keeping your pets indoors for that particular evening. Kids in costumes can scare our pets and cause unnecessary anxiety. Fireworks are also a high anxiety event. Leave your pet at home in a secure area away from the noise.

Gryphon rises Toronto’s Gryphon Trio has a lot to celebrate for its 20th anniversary

t was 10 years ago this past February that the Gryphon Trio last played in our small, but very enthusiastic community. Hosted by the then 50-year-old North Okanagan Community Concert Association, the world-famous Canadian piano trio, featuring cellist Roman Borys, violinist Annalee Patipatanakoon and pianist Jamie Parker, was celebrating its 10th anniversary. With the North Okanagan Community Concert Association about to start its 60th season, what better way than to bring the Gryphon Trio back. The trio will be at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre for a special red carpet gala event Saturday. The Morning Star recently spoke with Parker via e-mail, who along with his counterparts, is part of the resident ensemble in the faculty of music at the University of Toronto MS: The last time you were in Vernon, both Borys and Patipatanakoon were playing on some centuries’ old string instruments How do you top that with this current tour? And does the pianist get some love this time? Do you have some special commissions to mark the occasion? JP: Nope, no special instrument for me. I get what I get. As one concert pianist put it, “For us, every night is a blind date.” Roman and Annalee enjoyed the Canada Council instruments very much, and they’ve now had the experience of being on the jury that awards them to the next generation of Canadian musicians, so it’s nice to see that experience come full circle. We’re constantly busy commissioning works. This season, we have new works by Montréal-based composer Michael Oesterle, which we’ll be touring in B.C. this October, William Hirtz (an American composer/pianist friend from Juilliard and Banff days), Dinuk Wijeratne (another composer/pianist and conductor who’s doing a doctoral degree at University of Toronto), and a special new work by R. Murray Schafer, which will get its world premiere this December in Toronto. MS: Back in 2003, you had also just finished working on the multi-media project, Constantinople, composed by your U of T colleague Christos Hatzis, which was critically acclaimed and performed around the world. I know you like to take on ambitious projects, so how do you top that one? Have you? JP: In terms of production, it would be hard

John BeeBe Photo

Canada’s foremost piano trio, the Gryphon Trio (violinist Annalee Patipatanakoon, pianist Jamie Parker, and cellist Roman Borys), is returning to Vernon to help the North Okanagan Community Concert Association celebrate its 60th season with a gala concert Saturday. to top the Hatzis. It was great to have the whole gang reunited in Kingston last week for our performance there. The same five performers and the same five production people (director, sound, visuals, lighting, and production manager) from many performances all came together again. One gig we did just for fun was the Legends of Zelda show a couple of months ago. It was quite something to see a crowd of over 3,000 Zelda fans screaming and cheering after every movement we played. That production involved a large orchestra, full choir, and projected scenes from the video game. MS: Speaking of the Canada Council, you were awarded this year’s Walter Carsen Prize in the Performing Arts - congratulations! It must be the icing on the cake of a two decade career. How does it feel to be added to such an impressive list of artists who have been awarded the prize previously? JP: The presentation of our trio winning the Canada Council Walter Carsen Prize will take place at our Music Toronto concert on Dec. 5. We thought that would be perfect because the first music recipient was Schafer, and we’ll be premiering a work of his that evening. For us it’s a special award, because it’s awarded on a four-year cycle — dance, theatre, dance, music — so we’re only the third music recipients of this prestigious award. My wife’s calling the cash component of this prize the “Finally we can Renovate our Kitchen Award.” I’ve promised to celebrate by buying a beer for all of my friends.

Bea Jackson, Brietana Jackson, Carolyn Megli look forward to helping you with your hearing needs. Call today for a free hearing test.

MS: You all are professors in the faculty of music at U of T, and I’m sure the demands of performing and recording have grown over the years. How have you been able to balance your professional lives? JP: Balance is a constant challenge in our lives. During a typical weekday, I teach all day (trying not to start before 11 a.m.), spend a few hours with my family, and then practice and take care of email and U of T administrative things until 2:30 a.m. Then I’m on the road most weekends. Everyone has to work on being able to multi-task, prioritize, optimize in this day and age. The school year runs on an eight-month cycle, so at least I’ve got a good chunk of family time in the summers, although there are loads of chamber music festivals that keep us busy then too. I talk to my U of T students a lot about two kinds of stamina you’ve got to have or develop if you want to have any long-term success in this (or probably any other venture). One, you’ve got to have physical stamina, a strong immune system, and a healthy enough lifestyle to get you through the rigours of touring. Two, you’ve got to have career stamina – don’t get too excited by the highs, and don’t get depressed by the lows. You need patience if you want to be in this for the long haul. MS: Speaking of finding the time, one of your last recordings was Messians’ For the End of Time (I hope there wasn’t a metaphor in there somewhere?). Where do you see yourselves in the next 10 years? JP: We’re enjoying all of the activities that

• 21 Day Free Hearing Aid Trial* • 90 Day Full Refund Promise*

keep us busy. Sometimes, if you want to get something done, look for the busiest person in the room and ask them to help out. There are lots of sacrifices that you (and your spouse if you’re lucky like I am), have to make to be achieve and maintain any level of success in the music field. It’s not easy and it’s definitely not for everyone, but the rewards are tremendous too. We’ve got a few recording projects in the works —most notably a second Canadian Premieres CD— our first one resulted in our first Juno win which was nice for all the composers represented as well as us. Roman has been the artistic director of Chamberfest, Ottawa’s fantastic summer chamber music festival, so that keeps his cell phone bill very respectable. MS: And lastly, what can our local audience expect from you this time? JP: For our upcoming B.C. tour, we’ll be playing another Beethoven trio – the Ghost trio, an excellent work by Michael Oesterle called Centennials, which musically describes three people that influenced Michael who were all born in 1912, and the Mendelssohn D minor trio – we toured with the C minor trio last time around. So we still like programs that combine classical-era works, newly commissioned Canadian works, and Romantic blockbusters. And there’s always time for a tango as an encore. The Gryphon Trio takes the stage at the Performing Arts Centre Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Individual tickets are $35/adult, $17.50/student at the Ticket Seller, 549-7469, ticketseller.ca.

David Tracey Vancouver based writer, environmental designer, and community ecologist The question of our time may be: “How do we feed 9 billion people without cooking the Earth?” Tracey makes the case that rather than wait for a miracle solution from expert authorities, a growing number of people have created their own solutions by diversifying food sources, redesigning cities and rediscovering what it means to be human and true citizen of a green planet. The Food Action Society and the Sustainable Environment Network Society are special sponsors of this talk.

Unable to resist anymore, Leo (Ryan Kwanten) finds out why he sucks. him, guy gets girl. There are quite a few romantic films (call them chick flicks, if you must,) that follow this strange and telling plot line. I find it disturbing from an audiences point of view. Movies are made to provide a specific audience with what they want. So the filmmakers of The Right Kind of Wrong must feel that women empathize with characters that

feel trapped in their relationships with their current mates and the grass is always greener on the other side. If we reversed the genders and made this a film about a woman who tries to usurp a married man, she would be considered a home wrecker, at the least, and the man would be considered lower than a dog. So what is really going on here? Is this a double standard? HOWE: But the guy she married wasn’t a jerk. He hadn’t done anything wrong. It’s just that Leo wouldn’t leave Collette alone. He harassed and stalked her until she gave in to him and her husband had to take steps to save his new marriage. Who wouldn’t do that for love? Leo wasn’t in love with her, only infatuated by her looks. As for being a rom-com, I laughed once, and that was only at the cat with a leaf stuck to his face. Other than that, I thought it failed miserably. – Howe gives The Right Kind of Wrong 1.5 newspapers out of 5. – Taylor gives it 2 Walmart DVD bins out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas at the Shops at Polson Park in Vernon.

Artists paint live for avant-garde affair Live body painting is just part of the Avant-Garde Masquerade Ball

Morning Star Staff

Expect some glitter, a little skin, feathers, makeup and paint, and a few avantgarde masks when Vernon plays host to something a little unexpected before Halloween. The human form will literally come alive at the Avant-Garde Masquerade Ball being held at what was until recently an undisclosed location, now revealed as Paddlewheel Park Hall Friday. Brought to the masses by Kip Jon Productions, who earlier this summer staged A Rock ‘n Rococo Affair fashion event in Kelowna, the masquerade ball will feature one of the biggest trends in the underground art world: live body painting. Some well-known local artists will be using live models to paint as their canvases for what should be an visually stunning affair, said event producer Kip Jon Whelpley. “This is going to be a very cool first time experience for Vernon and the artists.... They will not be painting on a typical canvas,” said Whelpley. The artists will be using body paints and natural element pieces to create living statues. Once the models are painted, they will be wheeled out on pedestals, where they will act as living and breathing sculptures. “We want it to have a Sleepy Hollow feel mixed with the Louvre,” he said. “It will have a dark and creepy feeling.” Artists lined up include Markella Mildenberger, of the RED Palette, who can usually be seen exhibiting her work at the Vernon Farmers Market in the summer. “This is the first time I have painted on a live model before,” she said while practising painting feathers on the back of model Kenysha Koroll. “I will have two models at the event, a boy and a girl, and plan to paint one of them as a crow and the other as a scarecrow.” Also lined up is internationally acclaimed artist Michelle Loughery, known for her historical murals around Vernon as well as in New York City and Perth, Australia. She will join Cape Breton-born artist Ryan Ryan, who attended the Nova Scotia College of Arts and Design and known for making public art that combines women’s

Local authors open Vertigo Voices For The Morning Star

Okanagan authors Sean Johnston and Kevin McPherson Eckhoff open this season’s Vertigo Voices Reading Series at Gallery Vertigo Thursday. “This fall, we’re fortunate to open with two of the ‘valley’s own’ who have both released new books,” says co-organizer, local novelist and poet, Laisha Rosnau. Johnston’s novel, Listen All You Bullets, is set on a North Dakota ranch and explores the complicity of the artist in the construction of popular history. Johnston is the author of three previous books of fiction. He lives in Kelowna, where he teaches at Okanagan College and co-edits Ryga: A Journal of Provocations. M c P h e r s o n Eckhoff, Okanagan College English professor and resident of Spallumcheen, has just published his third book, Forge. Described as sound, or conceptual poetry, the book contains themes of childhood, syndicated televised capitalism, and mourning. “This first reading of the season is an example of the diversity of the series – we’ve one author working in historical fiction,

in a fresh, contemporary way, and another experimenting with sound poetry. They are both examples of the exciting and diverse literary landscape in the valley,” says Rosnau. Johnston and

McPherson Eckhoff will read Thursday. Doors open at 7 p.m. and readings begin at 7:30 p.m. at Gallery Vertigo at 3001 31 St. #1 upstairs. All are welcome, by donation. For more information, call 250-503-2297.

Live Well

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist chris shideler

endemic, epidemic, pandemic … words we hear more often during the flu season. Flu is endemic because it is present continually during the winter months. if the number of flu cases is higher than expected, the flu is epidemic. it becomes pandemic when it occurs over a wide geographical area or even worldwide. Flu has a short lived incubation period, about 2 - 3 days. The symptoms can range from mild to severe but one symptom you should not ignore is shortness of breath. if you experience this, see a doctor right away because it could signal a sign of a complication like pneumonia. some tablets release the medication slowly in the intestinal tract leaving only an empty, unabsorbed shell which you may see in your feces. don’t be alarmed. it’s just the way the tablet was designed to release the medication. We’ll let you know if we dispense this type of medication for you. social media, TV, radio and newspapers are full of stories about the latest weight-reducing product or aids to improve your health. it’s important to see where these stories come from and when they cite “clinical studies”, find out who paid for these studies. Often it’s the people who are selling the product. As pharmacists, we depend on science to prove efficacy of any product. We are continually in touch with reliable sources of health care information. We can help put truth to rumour. Use our professional pharmacy services today.

Skyride cycles into an award winner GRAEME CORBETT Business Editor

It used to be that Vernon’s Terence Giesbrecht would go hard in summer, then spend his winters in hiberation. That was the seasonal existence for the 28-year-old Giesbrecht, who started Skyride Cycle in a 1,000 square-foot space in the back of Peters Tirecraft with his father, Michael, in 2004. That all changed last season, when Giesbrecht expanded his operation by purchasing Outdoor Exposure on Silver Star Road (beside Butcher Boys) and took over their winter sales program, primarily skis, snowboards, snowshoes and outerwear. “You’re trying to build all this momentum in summer, and then winter comes and you — Terence sink back down,” said Giesbrecht, of trying to maintain a seasonal operation. “It seems to be the same wave every year, but last winter, with our first little taste, you can build in summer and at the very least, stay on a level in the winter. You’re at least climbing the ladder instead of slipping back down every winter. “We just sat back and saw what kind of potential it had, and we found the sliver of the pie we want to jump into.” The decision to move into the winter sporting scene, combined with a re-branding (Giesbrecht

dropped the ‘Cycle’ from Skyride to reflect the shift to a multi-sport business), helped Giesbrecht earn B.C. Young Entrepreneur of the Year for Aboriginal Business. The honour was presented at a ceremony in Kamloops by the All Nations Trust Company (ANTCO), an Aboriginal-owned organization comprised of bands, tribal councils, Aboriginal organizations, Métis associations, status, non-status and Métis individuals. ANTCO originated in 1984 to provide financial services to Aboriginal entrepreneurs. Giesbrecht, who is of Métis heritage, took a slightly unconventional route towards entrepreneurship. While working for someone else at age 19, he realized being his own boss was the only way to go. But rather than go to postGiesbrecht secondary school for training, he attended “the school of hard knocks.” “I started learning the hard way,” said Giesbrecht, who has daughters Stella, 4, and Claire, 18 months, with wife Brittany. “Lots of my friends were going to business school, and with the amount of money they were spending, we were going to spend the same through trial and error running our business.” After spending the first four years in the Tirecraft building, the Giesbrechts began sharing space with Stussi Sport, trading off with

“We just sat back and saw what kind of potential it had...”

Vernon’s Terence Giesbrecht, owner of Skyride, tunes up a bike in his shop on Silver Star Road. Giesbrecht, a 28-year-old Métis, recently won the B.C. Young Entrepreneur of the Year from the All Nations Trust Company (ANTCO). one another with the changing seasons. When Outdoor Exposure became available last year, Giebrecht

obtained a business loan (including a partial grant), from ANTCO to complete the expansion. If there is one positive to slow

winter seasons, it is that it gave the self-taught Giesbrecht plenty of time to learn about business. “The Internet’s your best friend; you can learn a lot on the downtime,” he said. “When you run into the issues you always have running a small business, you just use the Google machine and research as much as you can. You learn it as it comes.” Giesbrecht’s advice to up-andcoming business owners: “To avoid headaches, research.” “Being 19, I didn’t really know what to expect. The more statistics you can get from your business, from your area, from your target market, is huge. “And work out your projections. If you can lay out your projections for five years, you can say ‘Is this going to be worth it?’ even before you start.” Giesbrecht still remembers his first bike, a “Costco special” his parents gave him in 1997. “We just rode that thing into the ground,” laughed Giesbrecht, who now owns a small fleet of bikes, including a one-speed commuter he rides to work. “In Grade 11 I had a choice – it was the car or the bike. I got a nicer bike.” Giesbrecht’s passion for cycling has also been a big advantage throughout his small business career, keeping his entrepreneurial fires stoked when times were tough. “We probably pulled through some battles we shouldn’t have just because of the love of the industry,” he said.

Organizations team up to support small business week Morning Star Staff

Community Futures North Okanagan and the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce are teaming up to celebrate small business. “Small businesses play a vital role in our communities and are the backbone of our economy,” said Leigha Horsfield, business ser- Leigha Horsfield vices co-ordinator at

DTC, under certain conditions. Once approved, you may claim the disability amount on your income tax return. If all or part of the disability amount is not claimed by the taxpayer with the disability (who is also a dependent), it can be transferred to a spouse or common-law partner or another supporting taxpayer, who may also be able to claim the Caregiver Amount Tax Credit. The DTC can also be a qualifier for obtaining other tax breaks, such as for certain medical expenses. If you have missed claiming the DTC in past years, you can seek adjustments to your previous returns for up to ten years through the CRA’s Fairness Policy. If you want the CRA to reassess a tax year and allow a claim for the DTC, you must either submit CRA Form T1ADJ or send a letter of request, with details, to the CRA. You must also obtain the support of a medical practitioner who certifies that the impairment existed during the previous tax years. It can be very complex to get the most from the DTC, especially when it comes to the interrelationships with other financial provisions for a disabled person. That’s why a discussion of the issues with your professional advisor is always a good idea. Andy Erickson is the division director with Investors Group, Vernon.

Province increases tuition cap Morning Star Staff

For people living in the North Okanagan looking for work, there is some good news. The B.C. government has announced an increase in the tuition cap for the unemployed accessing skills training through the Employment Program of B.C. That means individuals receiving services through the Community Futures North Okanagan WorkBC Employment Services Centre may now be eligible for up to a maximum of $7,500 in tuition funding for skills training. Previously, tuition support was capped at $4,000. This change in the tuition cap will give people in this community looking for work a better opportunity to develop and upgrade their skills. In the North Okanagan, two popular training options have been in the health care and accounting fields. Training in these and other areas is now more likely to be accessible to clients due to the additional flexibility around the level of tuition support they can receive.

The Employment Program of B.C., launched in April 2012, is designed to offer a full suite of employment programs to unemployed British Columbians, including specialized populations, while ensuring quick and easy access through a single door. Unemployed North Okanagan residents who are looking for work should visit Community Futures North Okanagan 3108 - 33rd Street, Vernon WorkBC Employment (next to OK Tire) Services Centre (3105 250-545-5258 33rd Street) in Vernon, or visit www.futuresbc.

By Karen Jensen, ND Our ability to adapt to stress depends upon optimal function of the adrenal glands. When excess stress overloads our adrenal glands symptoms can include: fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, low back pain, asthma, allergies, blood sugar problems, hormonal imbalances, irritability, headaches, sugar cravings, gastrointestinal symptoms and inflammatory conditions.

The ‘roots’ of the original AdrenaSense Formula

Throughout my life I had good health and boundless energy and then suddenly in my early 30’s I hit the wall with fatigue… I had three children under the age of 3, my marriage broke up, and I went back to work thinking I could ‘do it all’. My body did not agree… nothing helped the crippling fatigue until I saw a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to my adrenal glands. When I started naturopathic practice in the 1980’s it was my own experience with adrenal fatigue that allowed me to recognize it in my patients and over the years I saw the need for an effective adrenal supplement.

f you or someone in your family has a disability, you already know what a profound impact it can have on your quality of life and your finances. Family support is always vital, of course, and there are programs and organizations that can also provide help and support, but anything that can be done to reduce the additional financial costs of a disability is always welcome. The federal government provides tax relief for those with certain types of physical or mental impairments through the non-refundable Andy Erickson Disability Amount Tax Credit (DTC). The tax relief can be significant and ongoing but many people don’t even know they qualify for the DTC, or that if they have missed claiming it in the past, they may be able to seek adjustments and reclaim those missed opportunities. Here is some basic info to be sure the DTC will work for you. To be eligible for the DTC you must complete Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) form T2201. A qualified person – usually your doctor – must certify that you have a severe and prolonged mental or physical impairment that markedly restricts the ability to perform the basic activities of daily living. If you are receiving extensive, lifesustaining therapy, you may also be eligible for the

Finance Minister Mike de Jong said in a statement the province this year increased its Responsible Gambling program budget by 30 per cent. “We take the social costs of gambling seriously,” he said, adding the province and BCLC will provide $11 million for responsible gambling this year.

Kendall suggested they be replaced with lower risk models and urged the province to post the risk rating on each machine so gamblers could choose a lower risk option. Gerald Thomas of the Centre for Addictions Research, a co-author of the report, said the province has high, medium and low risk ratings for all of the slot machines in B.C. casinos and should disclose how many it has of each.

Lottery Corp. could do more to identify problem gamblers – possibly using data on their gambling gathered through a loyalty card program – and then dispatching staff to attempt treatment interventions. The report calls on the province to devote at least 1.5 per cent of gambling revenue to problem gambling initiatives, tripling the current outlay. It also urges school classes to warn children of the dangers of gambling, focusing on students in grades 10 to 12. Provincial gambling revenue per capita

Kendall noted government is in a conflict of interest because it relies heavily on gambling profits but is also responsible for protecting vulnerable citizens. “This is a public health issue,” he said, adding the time may be right for a “fulsome discussion on the benefits and the risks” of gambling in light of rejections of new casinos over the past two years by Surrey and Vancouver. Any new decisions to expand gambling should come with an assessment of the risk to problem gamblers and be contingent on reducing the overall share of revenue extracted from them, the report recommends.

There’s been no detailed study of problem gambling in B.C. in several years but new research is slated for next year. According to 2007 statistics, 3.7 per cent of B.C. residents are at “moderate risk” and 0.9 per cent are classified as problem gamblers. Kendall noted the two groups account for 26 per cent of total gamPerry Kendall bling revenue despite making up less than five per cent of the population. There are 160,000 gamblers in the two risky groups but only 4,000 calls per year to

B.C. does too little to fight problem gambling and should consider new steps, from making it harder to get alcohol and cash in casinos to removing the most addictive high-risk slot machines. Those recommendations come from Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall, who tackled the health impacts of gambling Wednesday with the release of his annual report titled “Lower the Stakes.” Chief among the findings is that B.C.

He said gambling delivers endorphins that stimulate pleasure centres of the brain. “If you also have alcohol and add that to the mix and you’ve got an ATM there with an unlimited cash amount, you’ve definitely got a scenario where people are going to behave less and less responsibly.” Banning ATMs or requiring players to set an advance limit on what they might spend is another idea advanced in the report. It also zeroes in on high-risk electronic gaming machines – the slots designed by

Colonial city transforms margaret deefholts Special To The Morning Star

INDIA - The driver of our car swings around a series of dizzying hairpin bends. Off the edge of the road are valleys lying hundreds of feet below us, their toy-sized village houses clinging to the slopes, their pathways threading along the folds of the hills. And rearing against the horizon are the mighty Himalayas — range upon range of gigantic snow covered peaks — one of the most splendid panoramas in the world. My cousins and I are in India, travelling to Shimla at an altitude of 7,500-plus feet in the Himalayan foothills. Once the summer capital of the raj, this is where the elite of the British civil service and military brass exchanged the searing

summer heat and dust of the plains for the cool deodar-and-pine forested slopes of the hills. Today, it is a popular holiday resort for Indian families who hike the mountain trails in summer, and toboggan down the snowy slopes in winter. My cousin, who lives in Australia, has nostalgic memories of growing up in Simla (as it was known then) and I, too, recall with fondness my last visit to the town, back in the 1960s. But as we round the last corkscrew bend Shimla comes into view, and we exchange rueful glances. What was once a settlement of Tudor-style government buildings and English country cottages set in forested glades, has burgeoned into an immense swath of ugly concrete multirise commercial buildings all tightly packed

up and down the hillsides. Later that afternoon, we set out on a walk along the Mall – the main street which straddles the town. Our initial dismay begins to dissolve as we discover that beneath “Shimla’s” untidy façade, “Simla’s” old world charm and reminders of a less hurried world still lingers. We recognize landmarks that evoke a different era — the stately turrets of Viceregal Lodge, once the residence of British Viceroys rears against the sky. It was the scene of feverish negotiations that ultimately closed a chapter of Indian history in 1947: the end of the British raj and the birth of two independent nations – India and Pakistan. Today, the building serves the country’s intelligentsia at the Indian Institute of Advanced Study. Gorton Castle, a baronial edifice reminiscent of an English country estate, used to be the

secretariat offices from where one-fifth of the world’s population was once administered. Rising off the Mall is the Ridge, a promenade with views of Himalayan ranges on the horizon. Today, however, a chiffon scarf of mist obscures the peaks, so we turn away and stroll along the Ridge towards Christchurch, pausing en route to click a photograph or two of the half-timbered Tudorstyle town hall and library. Inside the Anglican church, sunlight streams through the stained glass windows and alights on memorial plaques to long dead British military officers — mute testaments to a vanished era. It is easy to imagine ‘Simla’ of yore in these surroundings. On the Ridge, a military band would perform rousing marches or sentimental Edwardian ballads while corseted society ladies in muslin gowns strolled the promenade accompanied by their

husbands in waistcoats and top hats. The viceroy and vicerene would arrive in their ceremonial carriage to the strains of God Save the King and everyone would then freeze to attention. Today, however, Shimla has a decidedly post-raj ambience. Indian families saunter along the Ridge — wives wearing trendy Delhi style shalwar kameez outfits, their husbands in casual jeans sweaters. Groups of giggling teenagers pose for photographs and old men wearing scarves and burglar caps — retired Indian Army officers perhaps — sit on wooden benches, their eyes distant with memories. In the Lower Bazaar terraces below the Mall, the alleyways are crowded. We rub shoulders with tourists bargaining for Tibetan jewelry, embroidered garments, souvenirs and trinkets. Pahari men (of Nepali or Tibetan stock) with leathery weather-beaten faces carry loads of wood on their backs; their women wearing pantaloons and headscarves, carry rosy cheeked babies slung in hammocks on their backs as they shop for vegetables and fruit. The smell of spices from roadside food stalls hangs over everything. Historical “Simla” still exists beside contemporary “Shimla.” Both are worth visiting. Margaret Deefholts is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder TAKE YOUR TIME, NOTABLY AT TRICK ONE Jack Benny said, “It’s not so much knowing when to speak, as when to pause.” At the bridge table, it’s often not so much knowing when to play, as when to pause for thought. That applies in particular at trick one. The more thinking at trick one, the better you will play, whether you are the declarer or a defender. In today’s deal, how should South play in five hearts after West leads the diamond king? The bidding was short but exciting. East’s fourspade opening bid would have usually been based on an eight-card suit, but was understandable since he was nonvulnerable. However,

South had an easy five-heart overcall. West wondered about six diamonds, but knew it would be a wild action. (Six diamonds doubled can be defeated by seven tricks, minus 1,700.) Now to this difficult declarer-play problem. Given the opening lead, South has only 10 top tricks: seven hearts, one diamond and two clubs. Yes, the club jack might drop singleton or doubleton, but that is unlikely. And assuming it does not appear, how can declarer possibly get home? There is one chance: South must find West with the club jack. And, even harder to realize, declarer must not win the first trick. Let’s assume West continues with the diamond

queen. South ruffs in his hand, draws trumps, cashes the club ace, and overtakes the club queen with dummy’s king. Then he continues with the club 10, pitching a spade from his hand. West takes the trick, but must give the lead back to the dummy and allow declarer to discard his last two spades.

June 28, 1925 – Oct 10, 2013

Tina spent her final days in Vernon Hospital and Hospice House surrounded by the love of family and friends. While born in Russia, Tina was raised in Canada. As a toddler, she and her family immigrated to Canada. They first settled in Drumheller, Alberta, then later at the age of eight moved to Vernon. Through mutual friends, Carl and Irene Schneider, Mom met the love of her life, Al Beck. They were married in Vernon on November 25, 1948. Moving to Vancouver Island, Tina and Al purchased and operated a small grocery store in Parksville. A few years later they sold the store and moved to Victoria where Tina worked as a butcher at Safeway. In 1958 Tina and Al moved the family to California. While Mom enjoyed the new adventures that California brought, her heart always remained in Vernon. Summer vacations to Canada to visit family were the highlight of every year. In 1970 the family returned to Vernon where Tina soon found a job at Empire Meats. She will be fondly remembered as “Mrs. Beck” to all those who shopped and worked there. Tina was a proud member of the Vernon Hospital Auxiliary for seventeen years. There she made many close friends and enjoyed spending time knitting, crafting, and selling baked goods. Tina will be lovingly remembered by: her son Allen (Betty); daughter Kathy (Bob) Galloway; her grandchildren: Ken, Dan, Josh, Marci, Colleen, and Tom; and her seven great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband, Al (June 1993) and siblings: Fred, Harry, Jake, and Mary. Special thanks to niece and best friend, Bernice, for all of the wonderful times she shared with Mom. Many thanks to Stu, Elaine, Robbie, and Jackie for always loving their Auntie Tina. Also thanks to her wonderful friends: Irene, Ann, Ena, Debbie, Perry, Elaine and Lloyd for their kindness over the years. “There are souls in this world which have the gift of finding joy everywhere and of leaving it behind them when they go.” Tina was one of those souls and will be greatly missed. A private family graveside service was held October 16th in Vernon. Arrangements have been entrusted to Pleasant Valley Funeral Home. Condolences may be offered at www.pleasantvalleyfh.com

Sally “Sals”

250-542-3980

VACHON We regret to announce the passing of Sally “Sals” Vachon, in the presence of her daughter, on the evening of October 16, 2013 at Noric House in Vernon, BC. Predeceased by her husband Philippe on August 25, 1974, and her elder sister Susan Hore of Portsmouth, England on November 7, 2010, Sals is survived by her younger sister Elizabeth May of Sparsholt, England; children Bernard (Paloma) of Ben Lomond, California; Paris (Cathy) of Ottawa, Ontario; Vicki (Rankin) Gotobed of Coldstream, BC; and Vincent of Victoria, BC; as well as six grandchildren, and many nephews and nieces. Sallyann Overton was born in Seaford, England on May 12, 1933 and attended Christ’s Hospital boarding school and a domestic arts college. Sals sailed to Australia in the early 1950s, spending two years there as a nanny. Returning to England, the travel bug took hold again and she soon arrived in Montréal where she worked for a cotton manufacturing company. Travelling and working across the country, she ended up packing fruit in Penticton, BC where she met and married Philippe Vachon of St-Joseph-de-Beauce, Québec on September 25, 1957. They lived in Lavington and Lumby, BC before settling in Vernon in 1967. Always willing to work hard and ferociously independent, Sals did a myriad of jobs in order to support herself and her family once widowed. Her favourite job was in the Resource Centre at the Vernon School District office. Travel continued to play a large part in her life during these years, with many trips and cruises. Her life began to slow down once she was diagnosed with dementia and Parkinson’s, terrible diseases which slowly robbed her of her independence and self. Her love of bright colours, tie-dyed shirts, dressing up and sunflowers, however, remained strong until the end. A celebration of life service will be held for Sals Vachon at 2:00 pm on Wednesday, October 23, 2013 at Vernon First Baptist Church (1406 – 32nd Avenue, Vernon) with a tea to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Parkinson’s Society of British Columbia (600 - 890 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 1J9). You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s on-line obituary @ www.MyAlternatives.ca.
