Patient questions conditions at VJH ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
It wasn’t the lengthy wait in Vernon Jubilee Hospital’s emergency department that bothered a woman as much as the abdominal pain she sought treatment for. It was where she was waiting. The Vernon woman, who asked to remain anonymous, checked into the ER at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday after experiencing abdominal discomfort. She said she was put into a small room with 10 other patients in gowns, with no clothes underneath, with no privacy. “We were all herded into this room to sit in hard plastic chairs for five hours,” said the woman. “We had no privacy and had to
“No patients are turned away and everybody is looked after safely.” — Pat Furey be checked by the nurse in front of the other patients.” Sitting beside the woman in the waiting room was a 92-yearold woman in severe pain from a broken bone. The woman said the senior was there for the duration she was, and was not given any medication to ease her pain until a doctor could
see her. “It was disgusting, to say the least,” said the woman. “It was very disturbing to have no privacy and to watch others in pain. We were all literally sitting inches from each other in a very small room, men and women. “I really feel this was wrong for them to do. Don’t we at least have
the right to be checked in private and not have to stare at a wall in silence while we all sat there in pain?” According to Pat Furey, Interior Health’s acute services area director for North Okanagan, the lack of beds are a regular occurrence at every emergency department in Canada. “We have a system where we look after the sickest patients first, they get the care they need right away,” she said. “Other patients less emergent or urgent may have to wait a bit longer. Sometimes all the beds are filled and that’s a fact of life in every emergency department in Canada.” Furey said it’s been an excep-
tionally busy summer at VJH, not only with locals but with out-oftown visitors. One thing Furey reminds everyone who checks into VJH, local or visitor alike, is they will receive outstanding care. However, it just might take some time. “No patients are turned away and everybody is looked after safely and as efficiently as possible,” she said. “We have extremely skilled nursing and medical staff and all the patients who come to us have availability to the same equipment as anyone else in the building. “While it can be crowded at times due to sheer volume, the care is second to none.”

Recent incidents regarding private property have Lumby RCMP issuing a few warnings. During the summer months, the owners of the land at the corner of Headgates and Whitevale roads have a constant problem with trespassers crossing their land to access the falls on Duteau Creek. The land is clearly posted with ‘private property’ and ‘no trespassing’ signs yet the problem persists. “This week we responded Henry Proce to two more calls of groups trespassing there,” said Cpl. Henry Proce. “At the request of the landowner, we have now charged four people under the Trespass Act. Respect private property and stay off this section of land.” The other lesson comes from someone trying to sell a vehicle privately Aug. 5. A man allowed his car to be test driven, and the car and driver went for a lengthy drive. “Guess what? It was not returned and he had no idea who he allowed to test drive it,” said Proce. Since the man gave permission for his car to be driven, the theft is not covered by ICBC, stated Proce. The car was located Thursday in Hinton, Alta.

Bylaw regulates city pawn shops ROGER KNOX
The Corporation of the
Morning Star Staff
On the one hand, new rules in place for regulating pawn shops in Armstrong moved one step closer. On the other hand, the city’s only pawn shop has apparently pulled up stakes. Armstrong council gave second and third readings to an amended bylaw regulating pawn shops. The move came after an earlier meeting with Rob Lyon, owner of Dot Matrix Computer Pro and Pawn on Okanagan Street, and local RCMP in regards to pawn shop rules. “We have modified the reporting requirements (for pawn shops), mostly from legal advice we received and talking to everybody,” said Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper. Council, in May, gave three readings to its pawn shop bylaw, explaining they were putting one in place because the provincial government used to have an act that monitored pawn shops, but changed it to municipal control. Pieper said at the time that Armstrong did not have pawn shops so it was a good time to do the bylaw when nobody was in business. That’s when Lyon
“We have modified the reporting requirements.” — Chris Pieper came forward and said he’d been operating his business, in what was a former pawn shop, for eight months. Pieper stated that the city didn’t realize there was a pawn shop operating because Lyon did not have the appropriate licence for a pawn shop. Lyon said that was due to a clerical error. Council extended an invitation to Lyon and the RCMP to meet over the bylaw, which they did. However, according the mayor, Lyon walked out of the meeting. “He wasn’t happy on the reporting issue that was in the bylaw,” said Pieper. “We didn’t invent this bylaw, we copied it from another community in the province. We modified the reporting responsibilities for the pawn shop owner more in line with what Lyon wanted.” The original bylaw had stated that a pawn shop owner must report the person who pawned
an item, an address and serial number. Now, the city’s amended bylaw proposed that the pawner report the item only. Lyon could not be reached for comment, and Pieper has heard that Lyon is not in town operating his store. “He thought our meeting was a final adoption of the bylaw and it wasn’t,” said Pieper. “He had a lot of good points in the meeting. He was good, presented himself very well. He drew a line in the sand on what he thought his obligations should be. He wasn’t an awful lot wrong from the legal advice we got afterwards.” Final adoption of the bylaw is expected at an upcoming council meeting.

Plans for skydive facility grounded ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A proposal to house a skydiving club on Spallumcheen farm land has landed with a thud. The owner of the land on L&A Cross Road, John Toporchak, has withdrawn his application to have his land removed from the Agricultural Land Commission. That land had been offered as a proposed site for the Okanagan Skydive Club, currently based at the Vernon Airport. The move came as a huge surprise to Okanagan Skydive spokesman Bret Chalmers. “The communication (with Toporchak) broke down). I don’t
“What do you do? It’s unfortunate.� — Will Hansma know what was said to them,� said Chalmers, adding Toporchak has told him he is sending a letter to explain his decision. “It’s really disappointing to everyone in our club. I put a lot of time and money into this proposal.� Spallumcheen council, at its August regular meeting, voted 3-2 in favour of sending the application to the ALC, with Mayor Will Hansma and Councillors Christine
Fraser and Janice Brown in favour, and Councillors Dave Brew and Ralph Leyenhorst opposed. Councillors Todd York and Andrew Casson were absent from the meeting. Spallumcheen residents Ted Curtis and Guenter Rieger both spoke out against the proposal at the regular council meeting. Toporchak declined to comment on the situation when contacted by The Morning Star.
Chalmers had told council the L&A Cross Road land is the perfect location for a skydiving business, reasoning the more area available for skydivers to land, the safer the sport. He said that the agricultural capability of the land would not be compromised as a the proposed building would be a temporary structure, and the other areas used for the business would be on grass. The business does not require asphalt or pavement. The club was proposing to use two and three-quarter acres of land for the building, parking and landing strip which, Chalmers said, already exists and is currently being used.
The landing area would be in a hay field. “What do you do? It’s unfortunate,� said Hansma of the withdrawn application. “I would have liked to have seen the ALC deal with it, and I would have liked to have seen support for the club.� The matter is slated to come before a Spallumcheen committee of the whole meeting Monday night. Okanagan Skydive has been looking for other site options as they say it’s losing its current space due to hangar expansion in Vernon. “We’re in a tough place right now,� said Chalmers. “We’re looking for
land to move to. Our future at the Vernon Airport is uncertain.� Chalmers said the club is operating at the airport on a monthto-month rental agreement.

Smoking at beaches clarified

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Beach-goers in Greater Vernon will be encouraged not to light up, but there won’t be an actual ban on smoking. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee has clarified that while signage will be installed urging people not to smoke, bylaws preventing them from doing so will not move ahead. “There was a difference of opinions among the committee,� said Al McNiven, parks and recreation general manager. Staff had recommended that when existing signage at beaches is replaced, information regarding a no smoking/tobacco ban will be included. However, directors opted to go with a Pentictonbased policy that promotes education on the philosophy of no smoking on public beaches. It’s expected that signs will go up on Greater Vernon beaches next year. “They will say that smoking is harmful to people’s health and please respect other people’s decisions and don’t smoke on the beach,� said McNiven. “Bylaw officers won’t be going around and making people stop smoking.�

Visitors at local beaches will be asked not to smoke out of respect for others. McNiven isn’t sure how effective public education will be over an actual no-smoking bylaw. “There’s no way of gaging that. It’s more of an awareness thing,� he said. The Canadian Cancer Society had requested that smoking be banned on Greater Vernon beaches.

Council won’t force showers for cyclists RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Anyone wanting to shower after cycling to work may be left spinning their wheels. City of Vernon staff recommended Monday that it investigate endof-trip facilities, such as change rooms and showers, for businesses. While a motion of support was made by Coun. Buffy Baumbrough, it wasn’t seconded and the concept died on the floor. “I guess they feel we’re not ready for that kind of initiative,” said Baumbrough of her colleagues. Currently, bylaws enquire businesses to provide bike racks. Baumbrough says staff didn’t want to necessarily change the bylaw
“It was worth pursuing.” — Baumbrough but wanted a chance to investigate options for new developments. “One of the barriers to cycling is when people get to work, there is no place to change or shower,” she said. “Because it’s a barrier, it was worth pursuing. What would it take to provide a shower?” Baumbrough believes such a staff review would have reinforced the city’s commitment to providing opportunities for alternative transportation. “Vernon, through
the official community plan, has committed to reducing single-occupant vehicle trips,” she said. Mayor Wayne Lippert isn’t surprised there wasn’t broad support for end-of-trip facilities. “Staff was looking for a bylaw that any business doing renovations or going into a new building would be obligated to put in showers and change rooms for people riding bikes,” he said. Lippert insists pro-
Coldstream launches BizPaL Morning Star Staff
Opening a business in Coldstream has become easier thanks to BizPaL. Entrepreneurs can use the online service to receive a personalized list of the permits and licences needed to establish and run their business. “I look forward to offering this service to expedite the procedures for entrepreneurs who are starting new businesses in our community,” said Mayor Jim Garlick. This program is a partnership between the federal and provincial governments and local municipalities. “Through Canada’s Economic Action Plan, our government is demonstrating our commit-
ment to Canada’s small and medium-sized enterprises by improving access to financing and cutting the red tape businesses face every day,” said OkanaganShuswap MP Colin Mayes. The BizPaL service was developed with the support of Industry Canada, in collaboration with municipalities and the province of B.C. “Starting your own business can be challenging at the best of times and BizPaL helps alleviate stress by providing a streamline process for getting necessary licences,” said Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA. Area business owners and entrepreneurs can access the service by

vision of showers and change rooms should be voluntary. “For the city to mandate this is not right. It’s a cost that would be passed on to consumers somewhere along the line.” In a written report, Wendy Majewski, transportation demand management co-ordinator, states many employees are trying alternate modes of transportation to get to work. “The main com-
plaints and concerns are related to the lack of secure bicycle storage and the provision of lockers and shower facilities,” she said. Majewski points out that walking and cycling
are considered high priorities in the city’s transportation plan. “A target of 20 per cent for walking, cycling and transit mode share has been set for 2031 to further encourage the
use of alternative forms of transportation,” she said. “Many other cities have bylaws in place to ensure end-of-trip facilities are in place for employees.”

Royal family photos
E
ngland’s royal family announced they have started a Flickr account, which means they can now share their baby pictures and vacation snapshots with their friends and family around the world via the Internet, just like we commoners. Let’s just take a quick look at some of them: Here’s one of Prince Philip with his grandchildren. Why is that kid pulling his finger? And there’s Prince Charles playing polo. I hear everyone in Britain plays a little polo. No, I think I’m mixing up polo with soccer. They call soccer “football” over there, so maybe what they call “polo” is called “bowling” here. I’ll bet Prince Jim Mullen Charles has his own polo shoes! He probably doesn’t rent them. Maybe they have a different word for everything. “Oh, you call it a ‘knife’! We call it a ‘fork’!” And there’s Prince Andrew with a lampshade on his head. You can’t say this about most people, but it looks good on him. There he is with his daughters. Those poor kids. They come from a broken home. If only there were some way to take the sting out of their parents’ divorce. Like growing up in a few fairy-tale palaces with lots and lots of servants. And maybe some little blue songbirds to make dresses for them while cute bunny rabbits and fawns sing happy songs. Here’s a picture of Queen Elizabeth relaxing. Here’s another one of her working. They look exactly the same to me, but then I’m not a member of the family. They can probably tell the difference. I’m starting to think that she may wear a brocade dress with matching purse and hat when she goes swimming. Do they call it “swimming” over there or do they call it “bathing”? Maybe they call it “hockey.” Like any

family, there are plenty of pictures of significant moments. Here’s Prince William getting his first valet; there’s Prince Harry taking his first driving lesson, learning how to tell the chauffeur where to go. Here’s the whole family having a picnic -- the waiters, valets and cooks are the ones who aren’t eating. Here’s one of the butler counting the silver after the picnic. Here’s a picture of the Royal Master of the Height of the Prince in full velvet ceremonial costume, including sash and giant medallion, measuring a young Prince William with a yardstick against a royal door frame, made especially for that purpose. You can see the other pencil marks from past ceremonial measurements. On the whole, the entire family seems to be getting shorter. The younger generation of royals seems less formal and more modern. Many of them love to play computer games. Here is a group of young heirs playing “Wii Fox Hunt,” and another of an older group of children playing “Wii Beheading.” It is very realistic. A lot of today’s pictures of the royal family are even taken with cell phones. But only by Her Majesty’s Master of the Cell Phone Camera, who must first seek approval from His Lord Most Trifling of Household Accounts. There are many pictures of school graduations: here’s one of a smiling headmaster receiving a check and the relieved young royal getting some kind of diploma in return. Just like commoners, the royals seem to enjoy everyday things: scrapbooking, knitting, sitting for portraits, formal dining, carriage rides, private train cars, collecting jewels, fur-trimmed capes and watching “Benny Hill” reruns. It just shows why people love them so much: they are just like us.

It’s difficult to know if Interior Health Authority officials actually understand the magnitude of the problem at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. When questioned about a patient’s concerns about a lack of privacy and long waits, Pat Furey, acute services area director, dodges the issue by saying a lack of beds are a regular occurrence at every emergency department in Canada. When you are in pain and needing to see a doctor, who cares what’s happening elsewhere in the country? All that matters is what’s going on in the North Okanagan, Furey also goes on to say that even with the ongoing challenges, the care at VJH is excellent. Nobody is questioning the dedication of doctors, nurses and support staff. They do tremendous work under less-than-ideal conditions and they deserve considerable praise for their professionalism. But unfortunately, perception quickly becomes reality and if enough patients are left sitting in halls or waiting for five hours, then they may begin questioning the quality of care they receive. With the new patient care tower well underway and expected to open next year, health care in the North Okanagan will receive a major boost. But even after such a major investment, problems will exist. There will be no additional acute care beds and there is no commitment that two shelled-in floors will ever be developed to allow for beds. Instead of skirting around the issues, IHA officials need to be upfront with the public and not deny what is happening day-today. It’s only then that perhaps there will be significant pressure on the provincial government to put forward some funds and take action.

At-risk youth need our help
T
een Junction staff work with many teens that are being pulled into crime. They are easy targets for drug traffickers and crime. These teens often lack positive social skills, don't do well in school, can't hold down a job, and often don't fit into the protection mandate of the Ministry of Children and Families. Many of the teens that go to Teen Junction have had losses and difficulties in their upbringing. The teens there do tend to stick together and try to hold on to the little good they have in their lives. I personally worked with hundreds of youth for 10 years. Many teens came from Enderby, Lumby, and Armstrong. They would hitch a ride into Vernon so they could come to Teen Junction for the night. If you asked many of these young adults now what it was that saved their lives, they would say Teen Junction. It is super important that the powers that be understand what Teen Junction is. Teen Junction isn't the place for every kid. Most kids have great home lives, do well in school, are involved in extra-curricular activities, and a multitude of other wonderful things that every single child should have. But life isn't fair, the hand kids are dealt isn't their choice. The teens that come to the Junction need the Junction. They need it more than anything because it might be all they have. The staff are amazing. They work with these teens in a very teen-oriented structure. The
SHOW SOME RESPECT I recently had the privilege of working with a few people in the retail workforce and I really had my eyes opened with some of the things they have to put up with. Now don't get me wrong — 95 per cent of customers are great but the hardworking retail workforce is generally not paid enough to have to deal with that other five per cent. So folks, when you go shopping, please think about a few things. Don't take your anger or bad mood out on these folks — they are trying to help you. No food, drink or dogs in store unless there are signs allowing these activities. Contrary to popular belief, cold coffee does not make plants grow. Vases and other décor items are not garbage receptacles and other customers may be allergic to your pet. Please keep an eye on your children — dirty shoes on furniture, etc., devalues it, not to mention that the child may get hurt. The stores should not have to absorb
teens feel it’s their place, guided by the staff. They make decisions on activities that go on. The teens are encouraged to take a lead to plan and carry out activities. These activities are very meaningful to the teens and usually the teens have to fund raise in order to do whatever they want to do. Trust me when I say that the staff aren't there for the pay cheque. They are there because they have a passion for helping at-risk youth. It's a special person that wants to and loves to be there for these teens. I'm not there anymore but I can honestly say that it was the most rewarding work I have ever done. Where in Vernon would an at-risk teen go if Teen Junction didn't exist? I can tell you that there are adults
the loss because your child is doing something inappropriate. This applies in restaurants when a server may be unable to see your child and a disaster results. When making returns, please bring your sales receipt. Make sure the product is returned within the time limits and don't bully the staff to get you own way. These are a few of the events that I personally saw happen in my very short experience. These are the things that make prices higher and higher all the time and we actually can do something about it. Brenda Smart COLUMN OFFENDS It seems that our member of Parliament wants us to believe his party has a majority in Parliament. "Take away Quebec and the current government has almost 60 per cent of the seats. In my view, the Conservative Party of Canada has a majority to lead this country." Colin Mayes, The Morning
Star June 27. Hardly. Quebec is still part of Canada, and to write it off to justify his claim of a Conservative majority is an egregious act of political self-delusion. Pandering to anti-French and anti-Quebec Westerners does nothing to promote national unity. It provides the separatist movement with additional justification for separation, making the situation worse. In this column, Mayes might not realize he is confessing his own government's failure to convince enough Quebecers to vote for them. He says, "The democratic way to become government is to be elected by the voters, not by forming an unholy coalition." I remind him that his own party is a coalition of Alliance, Reform and Progressive Conservatives. I guess his coalition is holy and a coalition of Liberal, NDP and Bloc would be unholy. Paddy O'Leary SAFETY FIRST My congratulations
to the
out there that would love to get these kids "working" for them. That is a very real alternative for many at-risk youth. Teen Junction exists on a meager yearly budget. The problem with funding is that governments mostly want to fund pilot projects; one year funding for a "new" way to help at-risk youth. Staff are constantly being pulled away from working with youth in order to find funding. Teen Junction can only be open certain days of the week due to limited funding. If you ask the management at Teen Junction, I’m sure they will tell you that the biggest problem they deal with isn't the youth, it's that they constantly have to look for funding and worry that they may have to close the doors. It is true that a dollar spent at Teen Junction will save taxpayers many times more than that in the long run. I know. I've witnessed this through my work at the centre and now through my ongoing connections to many of the Teen Junction youth that are now young adults making their way through life contributing to society and paying taxes. The centre does a simple yet powerful thing. It gives at-risk youth a chance to make it through their teen years with hope. I believe in the Greater Vernon community and I think that taxpayers, if educated on what Teen Junction is, would definitely want to support it. Gabbi Donald
cyclist that was making a left-hand turn in traffic as I watched in awe from the curb waiting for my turn to cross the intersection in the opposing direction. She was wearing a helmet with a rear-viewing mirror on it to see over her right shoulder, and was using a manual, left-hand turn signal I know many youth have no idea what I'm referring to when I say manual. I notice people riding unlicensed E-bikes with thongs on and dragging their feet along half a block before mounting on the bike properly, motorized scooters, even fully licensed motorcycles that think it is their right to ride on the sidewalk, road, and right back up on the sidewalk, whatever suits them. They are not following any traffic laws, just what suits them. Someone will pay dearly for the mistakes they are making and no one appears to be enforcing the rules. Karen Wheeler

Deb Ducharme (left), regional chair of the B.C. Nurses’ Union, talks to Vernon resident Leslie Clark about the bed shortage at Vernon Jubilee Hospital on Wednesday.
Union raises concern JESSICA SCHWITEK Morning Star Staff
The British Columbia Nurses’ Union (BCNU) is making ongoing over-crowding at Vernon Jubilee Hospital a priority. Representatives from the BCNU, as well as nurses from Vernon Jubilee Hospital, parked their bus at the Vernon Square mall to talk to residents about the problem the hospital is facing. “People think that because there is a new tower being built that there will be more beds, but that’s not the case,” said Deb Ducharme, the BCNU regional chair for the Thompson North Okanagan. “The woman I just finished talking to didn’t know. She was shocked.” Several units, including the ICU, will be moving to the new tower in 2011, but there is no word yet on what will be done with the vacant space in the existing hospital building. “There really are no plans for the rooms that will be vacated,” said
Russell Hnatiuk, nurse in the ICU at Vernon Jubilee. All that is known, is that there will be the same number of beds in the hospital as there is now. “All hospitals struggle with this problem, but Vernon is the one that is most consistently over capacity,” said Ducharme. VJH has 140 beds, and according to the union, they have been filled beyond capacity 50 per cent of the time over the past six months. Often when wards are at overcapacity, patients end up on stretchers in the hallways, which puts additional stress on the patients as well as the staff. “I see nurses that are so morally stressed and exhausted,” said Ducharme, adding that extra patients don’t necessarily translate into extra nurses. The BCNU is asking the community to demand the funding to finish and open the fifth and sixth floor beds in the new tower.

Colleges working on technologies Morning Star Staff
Four of Canada’s colleges are joining forces to bolster the country’s training and innovation in sustainable building technologies and renewable energy. O n t a r i o ’ s Durham College, Alberta’s Lethbridge College, Nova Scotia Community College and B.C.s Okanagan College recently signed an agreement linking the institutions’ training and projects that are related to sustainable buildings and renewable energy. Under the agreement, they will work together to plan and co-ordinate program development, applied innovation projects and connections with industry and various federal and provincial agencies. “This is a great exam-
“We’re working closely together.” — Jim Hamilton ple of co-operation among colleges across Canada which are committed to education and innovation vital to sustainability,” says James Knight, the president of the Association of Canadian Community Colleges. “Each college is already demonstrating leadership in its region and province. Co-operating nationally with industry and other partners will add more value to their efforts.” The agreement was born when college executives realized that an ad hoc consortium
was developing as the individual institutions shared successes, approaches, and ideas with each other as they were developing programs and facilities. “We’re working closely together with each other and with industry in this area,” said Okanagan College President Jim Hamilton. “In many instances, we’re at the leading edge of new sustainable facilities and want to ensure everyone benefits from what the others are learning – and teaching.”

Gardom Lake resident Sarah Weaver places Invasive Plant Management tape around the stems of yellow flag iris plants. just a few small clumps and I was ignorant (about the potential harm). I wish I knew then what I know now.” Weaver says the yellow iris has filled in about one-third of the lakeshore, along the north and west shores and around one of the islands. While the coverage is not yet continual, Weaver knows that if left unchecked, the beautiful but invasive plant will crowd out the bulrushes and cattails. In spring, the Friends of Gardom Lake asked residents to check for yellow iris near their properties and remove the flower heads before they could go to seed. As well, residents were asked to place a marker stake with a flagging ribbon in the middle of the clump in preparation
for a Columbia Shuswap Regional District crew who will dig the iris out later this summer. Paul Goodkey, CSRD noxious weed inspector, says there are no agencies that can deal effectively with wetland invasive weeds. An ornamental plant, Goodkey says the iris forms a large root clump that can outcompete the natural wetland vegetation. Goodkey plans to have a job-creation work crew removing as much of the yellow iris as possible. “Due to restrictions about where we can go with that crew, it will only be able to manage a small portion of the lake,” he says. “If I can just get one message out, it would be
do not buy or acquire in any way the yellow flag iris. And refrain from buying the white flowered lily pad because it’s not native to this part of the world either.” Goodkey says the Invasive Plant Council of BC has been working with the horticulture industry to promote the message of not selling highly invasive plants. “English ivy, periwinkle and Scotch broom would be three more examples of what not to acquire,” Goodkey says. “We have a pretty large weed problem in CSRD and after the wet spring we have had a big emergence of weed seed.” For information or assistance with removal, call Goodkey at 250833-5943.

In recovery mode following a Rotenone treatment to rid the lake of bass and perch, Gardom Lake is again under attack from an alien invader. Clumps of yellow iris are growing around the edge of the lake and will displace native plants, including cattails and rushes that birds and other animals depend on, says Sarah Weaver, a member of the Friends of Gardom Lake. “Initially I was not sure about the Rotenone because it’s a pretty significant step, but what encouraged me to support it was when I heard a biologist say perch are a form of biological pollution,” says Weaver who, with partner Clive Callaway, created the Living By Water project. “There’s been all this investment in the lake to eliminate the bass and perch but we still have an invasive plant.” Weaver says she believes the plants were deliberately introduced at the Enderby area lake, not through malice but by people who had no idea their actions could harm the lake. She is concerned that local nurseries continue to sell the plants for garden water features. “I think two or three people that lived around the lake planted them around the lakeshore probably in the ’70s or early ’80s,” she says. “When we moved here in 1988, there were

News Director uneasy about funding RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
One local politician isn’t convinced that B.C.’s parks and recreation infrastructure is falling apart. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee has asked for a staff report instead of endorsing the B.C. Recreation and Parks Association’s claims that there is an urgent need to improve facilities across the province. “This is a blanket adoption and to just spend money is a concern,” said director Mike Macnabb of the BCRPA’s request for a letter of support. “There’s probably some communities desperately in need of infrastructure upgrades but ultimately the taxpayer has to pay and I’m wondering what the priorities are.” Macnabb is confident GVAC has made inroads in addressing parks and recre- Mike Macnabb ation infrastructure. “In our community, we’re not doing too bad,” he said. However, director Patrick Nicol points to Civic Arena, which was built in 1937, and says there is a role for the provincial government in ensuring recreational facilities are adequate. “Some additional funds would be good,” he said. Chairman Wayne Lippert agrees that the issue must be considered further. “Most of our outdoor facilities are in good shape but there are bigger items like arenas that cost larger dollars,” he said. In its letter to GVAC, the BCRPA states that 65 per cent of the province’s parks and recreation infrastructure is more than 25 years old and needs upgrading or replacement. “Its inability to keep up with the demands of a growing population and their changing needs, as well as local and provincial environmental stewardship goals, is putting healthy communities at risk,” said Suzanne Allard Strutt, chief executive officer. “Our recreation infrastructure is reaching the crisis point for capital investment.” The association has been meeting with government officials to secure funding for upgrades. “Now is the time for renewal. Recreation has the capacity to improve the quality of life for all British Columbians,” said Allard Strutt.

Rescued birds find safe new home Morning Star Staff
Since the early 90s, Vernon’s Laurie Reeves has opened his up home to his flying friends in need. “Birds are beautiful pets,” said Reeves who has close to 25 birds living in his home at the moment. It started in the early 90s when his friend Cindy gave him a budgy to take care of. “I just fell in love with it,” he said. After that he started taking in more and more of them. All of the nearly 25 birds living with him now, including five budgies, one parrot, six cockatiels, and four society finchs, are rescue birds. Most of them came from pet stores or private owners who could no longer take care of them. “People buy these birds, they’re beautiful and so expensive, and then they can’t handle them anymore so they give them up,” said Reeves. Reeves spends countless hours caring for these birds, and firmly believes that he is giving them a better life than anyone else could. “You can’t find anyone else who will take care of them as good as me.” With a couple dozen birds in four large cages, it takes a lot of time to clean up after all of

them. “I’m usually up at five in the morning to start cleaning their cages,” said Reeves. Many of these birds
have a lifespan of 20 to 40 years, so it is a longterm commitment every time Reeves takes one of these pets into his home.
“I had one bird that lived for 33 years. She died just before her 34th birthday,” said Reeves. Although birds don’t learn tricks or com-

mands the way other pets do, Reeves is amazed at how they develop habits that compliment the habits of their owners. “They go to bed when I do. At night, when I’m ready to go to bed, they just know, and they all fly into their cages,” said Reeves. “Except for last night, they just didn’t seem to want to.” And despite the number of birds living in such close quarters, and the fact that they are all of different breeds, the birds get along with each other remarkably well. “They have their little spats once in a while, but that’s about it,” said Reeves. Reeves usually takes in these birds to keep, but occasionally he will give them to other people or families as pets. Reeves grew up surrounded by animals. “I had dogs when I was growing up, and I lived with my brother for a while, and he had cows and horses on his property.” Supporting and caring for these birds takes up a lot of Reeves’ time and money. If anyone would like to help Reeves with his project with a donation of money or food, he can be reached at 250-542-1919.

Dragons high on Schepp GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Success has made a habit of following Coldstream’s Codi Schepp like a lost puppy. It was with Schepp when she helped the Kalamalka Lakers win gold in both basketball and volleyball at the B.C. High School Championships in her Grade 12 year. She earned tournament MVP in the latter. Success was also waiting court-side when Schepp boosted Kal to junior volleyball gold in 2006. Last year, the two took a trip to Paris, Tex., where the 19-year-old made a seamless transition to the college game. In her freshman year with the Paris Junior College Dragons, Schepp led her team in hitting efficiency (39.04 per cent), aces per set (.351) and blocks per set (.897). The six-foot middle blocker was third on the team in total kills with 168.
The Dragons, in just their fifth year of women’s volleyball, finished third in their region of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NCJAA), falling in the playoff semifinals, where Schepp earned Second Team All-Star honours. “It was a lot faster, but I ended up being the starting middle, so I guess I adjusted well enough,” smiled Schepp, of making the transition from high school. Her ultimate goal is to play NCAA Division 1 volleyball, and with the numbers she put up with the Dragons, she is doing her part to get noticed. “My coach (Dragons’ head coach Justin Maness) is trying to help me move up to Division 1, hopefully at a state university,” said Schepp, who is working the summer in landscaping for Armstrong-based Okanagan Aggregates. “I’ve been talking to a few schools, so I’ll just see what comes of it.”
Maness is impressed with the rate of Schepp’s development and only sees her getting stronger in her sophomore year. “Codi grew tremendously as a player as the season progressed. She adjusted to the speed of the game very quickly. Making the long move transition didn’t seem to delay her growth as a player,” he said, noting Schepp’s vertical has gotten to the point where she can grab a basketball rim. “She got much stronger and quicker in the off-season through our weight training program. “She will be one of the top middles in a very strong region 14 conference. She has been a great asset both academically and athletically.” To stay sharp, Schepp plans to get into some summer beach competition, but said she would need to find a partner, not to mention some spare time.

The annual Okanagan Sun football scholarship dinner takes place Friday, Oct 8 at the Coast Capri Hotel in Kelowna. The headline speaker is CFL great Angelo Mosca who is sure to entertain with stories from his time in the CFL and in the wrestling ring. Mosca, 72, attended Notre Dame University and was drafted by the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles in 1959 in the 30th round (350th overall.) He had already decided to play in the CFL, in 1958-59 for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He was traded to the Ottawa Rough Riders, playing there in 1960-61 before joining the Montreal Alouettes in 1962. He played his remaining years, 1963 to 1972 in Hamilton. He was a five-time all star and played in nine Grey Cup games, more than any other player in CFL history, winning five (one with Ottawa and four with Hamilton). He is famous (or more aptly infamous) for the 51st Grey Cup game out-of-bounds and late hit on B.C. Lions star Willie Fleming. He is also known by the wrestling nicknames King Kong Mosca and The Mighty Hercules. Tickets are $150 (table of eight is $1,200) and are available online at the Okanagan Sun store at www. okanagansun.ca or by calling dinner chairman Les Weiss @ 250859-5603. All proceeds benefit the Okanagan Sun player scholarship fund. The Sun faced the two-time defending national champion Vancouver Island Raiders Saturday in Nanaimo. They return home on Saturday, Aug. 28 when they host the Kamloops Cowboys at the Apple Bowl.

Feser got scribe start in Enderby Vees bolster
D
enis Feser has covered everything from Canucks and WHA Blazers hockey to minor-league baseball and horse racing in a 40-year career with The Vancouver Sun. Feser, who started his sports writing career while going to high school in Enderby, doing weekly reports on the high school teams for the Enderby Commoner, was honoured last week as part of the third class of inductees in the Vancouver Canadians’ Broadcast and Journalism Hall of Fame. Feser was inducted at a Vancouver Canadians Class A ball game at Scotiabank Field and Nat Bailey Stadium. Highly interested in reading and writing as a teen, Feser spent 1 1/2 years as sports editor at the Vernon News from New Year’s 1966 through ‘67 after a six-month career jumpstart at the Williams Lake Times. “As the years pass I grow more indebted to Harvie Gay, who was the editor of the Kevin Mitchell Vernon News at that time, and by hiring me, took a big chance on someone with virtually no experience in the business,” said Feser, who has loads of relatives in the North Okanagan. “Harvie told me what he expected and left me pretty much to my own devices and there were few complaints, as I recall. These days, what I had to offer then, would not get me in the door.” He subsequently worked at the Calgary Albertan, the New Westminster Columbian and is now a copy editor at the Sun. “The first four papers I worked for no longer exist and I like to think they couldn’t get along without me,” he joked in an e-mail to me earlier this week. Feser was talented enough to switch his phrases and ledes from NHL hockey to horse racing or baseball, where he was the Sun’s No.1 reporter. In today’s newspaper world, most reporters are one-sport wonders. “Looking back, I have to say I can remember few days when I didn’t look forward to going to work. I moved onto the desk fulltime three years ago; I tell people I used to write for a living and now I read. Sept. 20 will mark my 40th year at the Sun.” He remembers the late and great Dorothy Sawicki, and Morning Star founder Don Kendall from his days at the Vernon News. Feser was joined in the Hall tonight by Ron Robinson of Victoria, a key figure in the airing of Vancouver Triple-A games on CKWX radio during the 1950s and ‘60s. The inclusion of the latest pair brings to 15 the total number of inductees. Feser began his baseball reporting with coverage of the Class-A New Westminster Frasers during their one-and-only season in the Northwest League. When the late Harry Ornest returned Triple-A ball to Vancouver in 1978, Feser became a regular at Nat Bailey Stadium until leaving the beat after eight seasons of coverage. Wrote Lyndon Little of the Sun last week: “During his time on the baseball beat Feser became known for his overall knowledge of the game as well as his attention to detail.” Robinson made a major contribution to Vancouver baseball as producer of Pacific Coast League Mounties’ games, both at Capilano Stadium (now Nat Bailey) and the reconstruction of road games.
BETWEEN THE LINES
When the Mounties were on the road Robinson worked with ‘WX play-by-play men Jim Robson and Bill Stevenson to “recreate” the game at the station’s studios on Burrard Street, using information obtained from a designated teletype operator at the park where the team was playing. A perfectionist, Robinson was meticulous in recording authentic ballpark sounds – even going as far as to inquire from the visiting ballparks which ones used organ music for their games. Robinson would then mix the sounds into the action at the appropriate times. “Ron was the real genius behind the whole thing,” credited Robson in a previous Sun story. “The challenge was making up for the occasional teletype interruptions. “Once, we had received only two outs for an inning. So we had a guy picked off first base just to keep the batting order intact.” According to Little, Robinson once commented: “Those extra $25 fees [for working the ball games] made it possible for me and my family to get the only home I ever built.”
Franson having a blast with NHL Predators Cody Franson of Sicamous was in Salmon Arm Tuesday night for the eighth annual Pro-Am Scholarship Hockey Game at the Sunwave Centre. He’s loving life in the NHL. “It’s an unbelievable experience,” Franson said of playing with the Nashville Predators. “It’s everything I thought it would be growing up and I haven’t had more fun playing hockey than I am right now.” As an NHLer, Franson says he doesn’t get much time to come home, but appreciates the time he has when he gets it. “It is nice to see the family whenever I can get back and the friends that you don’t get to see too much,” the former Vancouver Giant told Black Press Sports. Now that he’s made the big time, Franson said people may treat him differently, but he is still the same guy. “People look at you in a different way, I think, but for me it’s the same. I’m coming home because it’s a place to relax and see friends and family. I don’t treat anyone differently than I did when I left. And how other people view me, that’s up to them. For me it’s about seeing the people I grew up around.” For New Jersey Devils forward and Vernon summer resident, Dean McAmmond, making the transition from a camp participant to a camp coach was a natural progression. McAmmond was one of four coaches in Williams Lake last week for the Hockey Ministries International Camp — a hockey skills camp which also combined a chapel program. “I always enjoy the camps,” McAmmond told Black Press Sports. “I’ve been doing these camps since I was 12.” During the NHL off-season, the HMI camps have brought McAmmond to Chicago, Montreal, Edmonton, Calgary and other various places around North America. “They’re always good camps,” he says. “They have a good message.” McAmmond has been involved as a coach with HMI for around 20 years, and was joined by Vancouver Canucks assistant coach Ryan Walter, former NHLer Laurie Boschman and goaltending coach Sean O’Connor in Williams Lake.

The B.C. Hockey League’s Penticton Vees have restructured their executive coaching staff. Returning for his fourth year with the Vees is assistant Coach David Small, who will now also assume the role of Director of Hockey Operations. Small will focus his attention on video breakdown, team camps and club logistics for the Vees. Joining the program as an assistant coach for his first season is Vees alumni Michael Hengen. At the end of his five-year junior career with the Vees, Hengen was a member of the 2007-2008 Fred Page Cup championship squad. Hengen has spent the past two seasons playing pro hockey in Germany and is thrilled to be joining the coaching ranks. He will be responsible for directing and developing the defence. Steve Cawley is another new addition to the assistant coaching staff, a graduate of McGill University who has been entrenched in hockey for most of his life. Cawley will focus his attention as the Academic and Mentorship Liaison, while also assisting with statistical breakdown for the hockey club. Matt Sells will join the organization in the role of the Vees video technician. Sells will assist the coaching staff in preparation for future opponents and breaking down previous game action. Mike Needham and Ed Lebler will be returning to the club in the capacity of team consultants. “I’m excited about the number of quality individuals that we have on the staff. Our depth allows us the opportunity for coaches to specialize in their areas of expertise. We’re stronger as an organization both on and off the ice moving forward,” said head coach/GM Fred Harbinson.

Adjusting to life in Paris, which is slightly smaller than Vernon and about two hours northeast of Dallas, didn’t prove overly arduous for Schepp. She and Spruce Grove, Alta.’s Beau Bemish are the lone Canucks on the Dragons’ roster. “It took me a while to get used to it, to realize I wasn’t coming home right away,” said Schepp, who lives in the campus dorms. “But everyone was so welcoming, so it made it easy for me. I don’t even notice how anyone talks down there now. “I love Tex-Mex, so I got lots of that down there, but they also have a lot of fried food that I didn’t like so much.” Schepp is pursuing a Bachelor of Science, leaning towards either medicine of pharmaceuticals.

Whitecaps Camp
Westside Warriors’ 20-year old defenceman Matt Maher has accepted a scholarship to attend Bentley College (near Boston) and suit up for the NCAA Division I Falcons for the 2011-12 season. Maher will return to the Warriors this season as he prepares for the jump to college a year from now, and will be counted on to be one of the team’s leaders both on and off the ice. “This is an exciting day for Matt, as he has worked hard to secure a future in the game and an NCAA Scholarship,” said Warriors Head Coach/ GM Darren Yopyk. “Bentley has recruited a very good young man who will be a tremendous asset to their institution on the ice, in the classroom, and in their community. “Coach (Ryan) Soderquist and his staff have done an excellent job at Bentley, and Matt will help them to continue their rise to the upper echelon of the Atlantic Hockey Conference.” The Avon, Conn. native proved a solid addition to the Warriors’ blueline in his first BCHL season, suiting up in all but two of the team’s 60 regularseason games. He chipped in two goals and eight assists and added one more point in 11 post season games. “As an organization, we continue to demonstrate we are meeting our mandate of developing players and moving them forward in their hockey and academic careers,” said Yopyk. “We are proud that the majority of players that play for us secure scholarships in either the NCAA or in Canada, in the CIS or ACAC.” POWER THE PROMISE You can help more students get an education.

Sports SPORTS BRIEFS Heinrich sparks Silver Stars’ victory The Vernon Silver Stars tripped up Kelowna 3-1 in Okanagan Oldtimers 50+ Soccer League action Thursday night at Marshall Field. Mahmoud Abdel-Kader, Keith Chancellor and Richard Hay scored for the 12-4-1 Stars, who got a stellar game in net from Felix Heinrich. It was 2-0 Stars at the half. Kal Tire of Vernon and Lake Country battled to a 1-1 draw in other action Thursday night at windy Beasley Park. Ken James converted a penalty kick in the 12th minute after he was pulled down inside the 18-yard line. He went top shelf to the right of keeper George Heiss. Lake Country equalized just before the half when Ray Wagner buried a 15-yard shot after a feed from Jim Tearoe. Heiss dove to his left and stoned Rob Parkin on a second-half penalty kick, awarded when James went down inside the box. Kal Tire keeper Mike Zuber made a handful of stellar saves to earn Cialis Man of the Match. Mike Barton in centre midfield dominated for Lake Country. Kal Tire improved to 13-2-2.
MacDonald in Minto Cup lacrosse Vernon’s Brodie MacDonald will lead the host Coquitlam Adanacs into the 2010 Minto Cup Junior A lacrosse nationals starting Saturday. MacDonald, a Vernon Tiger grad and former MVP in the Thompson Okanagan Junior League, compiled an 86.2 average through seven playoff games in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League, second behind Blake Duncan of the Delta Islanders. The regular-season champion Adanacs defeated the New Westminster Salmonbellies 4-1 in the best-of-seven final series. MacDonald allowed just two goals in 30 minutes action as Coquitlam took the series Wednesday night with a 13-7 win. Coquitlam opens the Minto Cup against Alberta champion Okotoks. New Westminster faces Ontario champion Orangeville in their Saturday opener of the four-team event. The Adanacs face New Westminster next Sunday and finish round-robin play Tuesday versus Orangeville. The playoff round starts Wednesday with the finals slated for Saturday, Aug. 28 and, if necessary, the following day.

Five Peaks race for Star BY MIKE SIMMONS Black Press Sports
A national trail race series will hold an event in the Okanagan for the first time this summer, as runners head to the mountains for Five Peaks. Race director Matt Lepp said the Silver Star race on Saturday, Aug. 28 will be the first annual event on the mountain. He noted the race company has been wanting to expand their presence in the B.C. Interior. They began with an event at Sun Peaks three years ago, and had been searching for other challenging trails in the Interior. “It just seemed logical to head into the Okanagan.” Lepp pointed out the area has a large base of runners and people interested in outdoor recreation. He noted the trails are close to Kelowna, Vernon and Penticton. The terrain for a challenging course is also part of the race recipe. “We look for terrain that’s challenging – generally single track, off-road always.” Lepp said the organizers want the courses to incorporate different obstacles, from roots and rocks to fallen trees and small creeks. “Anything that’s going to be fun and exciting.” Preserving the alpine environment is a priority during the setup and takedown of the course. Lepp noted all of the trail markers are taken out at the end of each race, and nothing is spray painted or flagged. “Our policy’s always leave no trace. We always will leave the race course exactly the way we found it.” He said the draw of the series comes from both the challenging course and the sense of accomplishment on completion. “I think people are just looking for challenges. It’s a great way to apply the training that a lot of people do towards something.” He added that even if runners are not headed into the event in a competitive manner, the experience leaves them feeling like they’ve accomplished something substantial. At Silver Star, there is a wide difference between the 5.4 km sport course and the 12 km enduro. The sport distance climbs parallel to a ski run through a forested area, and then cuts across the mountain through meadows on a single track trail. “The sport course is really open to any level of runner.” Lepp noted the enduro course climbs to the summit of one of the mountains and loops out, using hiking trails constructed by local trail builders. “There’s viewpoints and lots of varied terrain.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If it’s not important who leads, and your mate opts for that role, relegate yourself to being supportive. It’s likely to produce many benefits that you never thought existed. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Do yourself a favor by pushing yourself out of the easy chair, getting away from the television set, and engaging in something physically active. Participating in a stimulating activity outdoors would be perfect.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Stabilizing influences will prevail, with recent disruptions dissipating and falling by the wayside. This could be especially prevalent in regards to your financial affairs.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Being with friends whose exuberance is infectious is a good prescription for having a fun and healthy day. Make every effort possible to avoid being around dullards and dunderheads.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Performing at your best might require a great deal of solitude. Don’t hesitate to walk alone when it serves your purpose to do so. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might not feel as comfortable in social involvements with new acquaintances as you do engaging in activities with familiar old friends. Don’t be rude, but stick to tried and true pals.
Beginner/Refresher Courses start September 4th or January 8th
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Should someone be trying to interest you in something that might require financial involvement, get him/her to lay out the entire plan. Unless you get all the details it should be a no-go.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) When dealing with someone new on a personal level, let your manner put this person at ease. Once s/he senses your sincerity, this individual will feel impelled to treat you similarly.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) If an important matter comes up that needs your personal attention, disengage yourself from your social involvements with others. They’ll understand and even give you their blessings.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Someone with whom you usually are at odds might find much to admire in you at last. This could be the benchmark for establishing a new relationship.

You could get yourself so overwhelmed by the details that you fail to see what is right in front of you.

Bridge by Phillip Alder Some of this week’s deals have been too hard for an inexperienced player. If this deal defeated someone, though, afterward he would be kicking himself for having gone down -assuming the defense did not hand it back to him on a platter. You are in three notrump. West leads his fourth-highest heart. What is your plan? The auction was straightforward. North did not need to worry about clubs, because you had to have length in that suit when you did not show a four-card major or raise diamonds. The original declarer saw nine winners: two spades, two hearts and
five diamonds. He took the first trick with his heart jack, played a diamond to dummy’s ace, and cashed the diamond king. East’s spade discard was a blow. Now South called for a low club, but the defense was perfect. When East won with his ace and returned his heart two, West carefully forced declarer to take the trick with dummy’s queen. South could only cash dummy’s top spades, but the queen did not drop. After South had congratulated his opponents, North pointed out that declarer would have had no trouble if he had played dummy’s heart queen at trick one. Here, after winning the trick, South would have
cashed two top diamonds to get the bad news, but then he could have led a heart to force a hand entry for the marked finesse of dummy’s diamond 10. And if East could have taken the heart queen with his ace and returned a heart, declarer would still have had a heart winner in his hand.

Centre ready to close
Outstanding and compassionate care different
Welcome to a kind of medical clinic.
Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Service Canada Centre for Youth will close for the season Wednesday at 4 p.m. “The summer was extremely successful,” said lead youth services officer Matt Koovisk. “We helped a large number of young people with their job searches, resumé and cover letter writing, interview techniques and information on employment standards, health and safety in the workplace and wage rates.” The centre helped local employers find youth who were ready to work. The SCCY also attended a number of events in the community which allowed them to connect employers and youth and to promote the benefits of hiring young people during the summer. SCCY got good response and feedback from attending the Youth Achievement and Appreciation Festival (YAA Fest), Lumby Days, Canada Day as well as regular outreach to the employment resource centres in Armstrong, Enderby and Lumby. “The SCCY would like to thank the many employers, youth and community organizations
“The summer was extremely successful.” — Matt Koovisk who visited the outreach team during these events,” said Koovisk. “The Vernon SCCY is looking forward to working with the community again next summer.” For more information on Services Canada services for youth, call 1-800-O-Canada or visit www. servicecanada.gc.ca.

Wildfires mapped KATHY MICHAELS Black Press
A thick veil of smoke smothering the Okanagan Valley has become an unwelcome summer staple, but its origins and the communal experience it sparks are the foundation of a local project gaining a national spotlight. “Fires are becoming more of an annual event, and they’re getting worse and worse,” remarked UBC Okanagan geography professor Jon Corbett, talking about the impetus to create a fire mapping network focused on the Okanagan. The map, which was created by Corbett along with students Aidan Whiteley and Samantha Brennan, uses a hybrid of mapping technology and social networking tools to compile data on where and when all fires between 1984 and 2009 took place. To see the map in its early stages go to http:// firehistory.ok.ubc.ca/.

Life
Family ties run deep
S
omewhere along the way I decided to live miles, thousands of miles away, from my siblings and my parents. Was it a gypsy spirit, traumatic childhood, sense of adventure, safe distance from teasing that drove me? I’m not certain, well I am of one thing: it wasn’t a traumatic childhood as this writer was fortunate to have a relatively safe childhood. Although there were definitely some sad Michele Blais and difficult times, a loving and supportive family made a significant difference. “We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another’s desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.” — Erma Bombeck I am one of six kids that my parents had and in 10 years. Closeness in age, farm and small town life can help build strong relationships. We have been fortunate that those bonds have stood the test of time, family crisis, and the daily grind. This week four of us have been together
THE WAY I SEE IT
to enjoy each other’s company again, laugh, walk down memory lane and strengthen our bond once again. We love each other, but we also like each other and are friends. Perhaps it was because we lived so far apart that this made a difference. The expression “it takes a village to raise a child,” truly applies to my sons, and we have been blessed with a supportive group of friends, colleagues, teachers, coaches, parents of their friends, doctors, even emergency personnel whom they visited often who played a role, as did the nurses on pediatrics years ago when my youngest spent a couple of weeks there with an appendicitis nightmare. Thank you to so many people! And my traditional family members have been great about building strong ties with them. When you are separated by miles it is important to telephone, send photos, e-mail, text, send videos, visit, travel together, do whatever to keep the relationships tight. It is often the sharing of our daily stories that bring us close and help to ease the distance. We know the good, the bad, the ugly, the funny, the hopeful, the dreams, and the triumphs. Our oldest brother is going off to Afghanistan. He lives in Texas, is married to an American and has a young son. We are going to make young Thomas a video this weekend of his Canadian family so he can know that he is thought of, that

though miles and miles, and a border may separate us the family bond is there for him to pull on. Summers are often full of visits from family, or reunions, and connecting. We are building memories over a meal shared, a game of bocce, boating, hiking, camping and sharing stories. With the campfire ban we have taken to sitting out on the floating dock in a circle enjoying the beautiful view down Okanagan Lake or the hills, laughing, telling tales, and enjoying the moments. This is also a great sleeping place for my brother and the kids. This year he has the deluxe blow-up beds and the kids have air mattresses, foamies, etc. They wait for the dark and the sky to fill with stars and then it is sleep time. From where I sit 20 feet away on land, I can hear the murmur of the nighttime chatter, questions about this and that, a joke, and then the quiet. My family is sleeping and at peace with the world. By choosing to live in Vernon I did miss out on numerous “family” activities. I admit to being envious to those of you who have generations around you living in the same town or valley. At the same time this is where I wanted us to be, this is home. “Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.” — Jane Howard

Q: A:
For the second year in a row, Ricardo’s Mediterranean Kitchen is pairing up to dine out with Cops for Kids. The act is simple, but the goal is big: enjoy a meal at Ricardo’s on Aug. 23, and the Italian restaurant will donate 25 per cent of all food sales to this charitable foundation. Cops for Kids continues to work with families in the Okanagan who have children
The
affected by medical, physical, or traumatic experiences. This foundation has put smiles on countless faces and strives to alleviate pressure in everyday life for these incredibly strong families. “If we can make one day easier for the children or their support team, we have been successful,” says Const. Sandi Fazan, RCMP, South East District. “It is important to know that every little bit real-
ly does help. Allowing people to dine out at their favourite restaurant while making a contribution to our foundation is a great night out for everyone involved.” The dining experience will also include a silent auction with fabulous prizes gathered by the RCMP to maximize the donation given to the foundation.
Ricardo’s will donate 100 per cent of the silent auction proceeds to Cops for Kids. From Mama’s handrolled, homemade meatballs to organic produce grown in the family garden, chefowner Ricardo Scebba honours his Italian heritage and serves favourite family recipes that offer a taste of Mediterranean life.
Is grooming important to the health of my animal?
YES! Grooming your animals does a lot more than keeping your pet looking spiffy. Long haired cats and dogs can get large tight mats in their fur that can actually trap moisture and bacteria leading to skin irritation and infections. This is especially important near the back end of your animal as mats in this area can actually hinder their ability to go to the bathroom! Keeping nails trimmed not only saves your floors and legs, but it also prevents the nails from getting so long that they become imbedded in the toe pads … ouch! Dogs with scruffy furry faces should be trimmed around the eyes since these long hairs can poke into the eyes leading to infection and ulcers of the cornea. Dogs with excessive tearing should have their faces wiped on a regular basis, the discharge that stays stuck to the fur can actually scald the skin underneath leading to pain and infection. Not every pet needs to be ready for the show but they should have some basic care to prevent these problems. — Dr. Lily Miller, DVM

Flip-flops: fun and facts
A
fter a long winter of socks, shoes and boots the breezy feel of flipflops is very welcoming. Fun and fashionable, flip-flops have their place in the shoe closet. Their best purpose is that they give you some basic protection to the bottom of your foot to walk around poolside, beach or around town. They can prevent you from athlete’s foot or plantar warts. They also have a fashion purpose as these sandals with the V-shaped straps come in eye-popping shades from hot pink to neon yellow. They come in beads, sequins and flowers. These shoes are fun and great for summer wear. But there is a “flop” side to flip-flops. The bad news about this sandal that dates back at least 70 years is that they have thin soles,
no arch support and can accentuate abnormal biomechanics in foot motion. Eventually this can lead to pain and inflammation of the structures in the feet, calves and even knees, hips and low back. It appears excessive wear is a bad idea. In 2008 a study done at a university in the U.S. found that when people walk in flip-flops, they alter their gait. In the study, 39 men and women were recruited. Participants wearing flip-flops and traditional athletic shoes walked on a platform that measured vertical force as the walker’s feet hit the ground. In addition, a video camcorder measured stride length and limb angles. The results:
flip-flop wearers took shorter steps and their heels hit the ground with less vertical force than when the same walkers Cheryl Witter wore athletic shoes. When wearing flip-flops the study participants did not bring their toes up as much during the leg swing phase. This causes a larger ankle angle and shorter stride length, possibly because they tended to grip the flipflop with their toes. The study states that these alterations in the foot can result in changes up the knees, hips and back, which can lead to problems and pain. I would agree that these alterations in gait CAN have a negative impact on our body parts. I see it regularly in my clinic. Most fre-
SPINE & SPORT
quently patients suffer from a nasty plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis, or sore knees as the flip-flop does not support the arch or foot. Excessive use of this sandal is usually the trigger. Often vacationers who suddenly wear flip-flops walking and sight-seeing for hours on end during their holiday suffer. Months after the holiday is over they still hurt. So yes, flip-flops if worn too long and too often can make us sore. These little pairs of shoes have no support. Therefore our muscles and tendons have to “pick up the slack.” They are not used to this demand. So angry inflammation sets in. Our feet were used to being supported. So maybe we have created this monster? It looks like our feet have gotten sloppy and weak. Perhaps we should
look at training our feet to handle this issue? Hmm, interesting thought. There is a new trend actually that relates to this: barefoot running. This is just how it sounds. People running in barefeet or “minimalist” footwear. The premise: our feet are lazy. Let’s make a shoe to fix this. Several companies have. But that is a whole other column. In the meantime, we should look at our feet like raising teens. If we coddle, protect and smother them how the heck can they make it in the big world? Think about it. No wonder our bodies whine and groan at us when we slip into some fancy flip-flops! As everything in life... moderation is key. Even with footwear. So wear these fun shoes. Just don’t expect your body to feel great if you wear them
too long. We have to tread lightly and not for too long in these fashionable summer shoes.
This fall, students at UBC’s Okanagan campus can explore the made-up languages of Star Trek’s Klingon and Avatar’s Na’vi as part of a new anthropology class titled Pidgins, Creoles and Created Languages. “Pidgin is a form of speech that is a mixture of languages,” said Christine Schreyer, assistant professor of anthropology. “Often they are created by two or more groups of people who want to
communicate with one another to accomplish a purpose — for example, trading — but don’t speak one another’s languages. “Creoles are languages that originally started as pidgins, but have evolved to the point where children are learning them as their mother tongue.” The fourth-year class, Anthropology 490O, examines how languages are formed, their linguistic features, the social context in which they
are used, and whether or not they can ever be considered standard languages. It also covers the development of new languages. “The first part of the course really focuses on Pidgins and Creoles, which tend to get neglected in language studies because they are sometimes viewed as a mix of languages and not a ‘real’ language,” said Schreyer. “But they are used all over the world and there are a lot of them.”
The other half of the course focuses on created languages, such as Esperanto — the most widely-spoken created international language in the world. “Esperanto was created in the end of the 19th century as a universal language to promote world peace,” said Schreyer.“People thought if everyone could speak a language that wasn’t connected to a national identity or a country then we could have better com-
Red Cross gets support from Walmart Morning Star Staff
The Canadian Red Cross and Walmart Canada are partnering to raise money for disaster response activities across the country until Aug. 31. Shoppers will have the opportunity to make donations at any Walmart checkout. The goal is to raise $2.6 million across Canada with a British Columbia and Yukon goal for $248,500. The funds raised in each community will go the local Red Cross. “Funds raised will help the Canadian Red Cross be prepared to provide assistance within hours of a disaster,” said Sharan Dhillon, fund development

Waiting on GIS cheques
T
here is a lot going on even though it is supposed to be those lazy dog days of August, as I prepare to head off to see my eastern family. Once again some seniors did not receive the GIS last month. If you, as a senior, do not fill out your income tax and send it in long before April 30, the official deadline, the information that determines that you are eligible for GIS Pat Black is delayed getting to the Service Canada Department that sends out GIS cheques. So some seniors, even though they have sent their tax return in on time, have not received their GIS when they usually do because of this delay. You would think in this day of computers and instant messaging that this information would be immediately available, but obviously not. The person that called my attention to this said that she had waited to include a receipt in her return but still filed before the official return date. Anyone who has had this problem better contact their MP, Colin Hanson, and complain or it will never change.
PERSONAL BEST
How about that 81-year-old woman in Vernon who refused to surrender her purse to a thief and used her walker to fight off the bad guy? In the struggle her purse strap broke but she continued to hold on. What courage she had and thank God she wasn’t injured. I personally would have thrown the purse at him but I do admire her determination and energy and obviously her bravery in protecting her property. She should be “Senior of the Year.” I also admired the story of Amber, who received much-needed new dentures through the help of the Community Dental Access Centre’s very limited Bursary Fund Program and the citizens of Vernon who contributed to her new dentures after a lifetime of dental problems. She too showed extraordinary courage to tell her story of hereditary dental problems and poverty as a child. She explained that when she was nine her family moved from Ontario, where they had a dental plan for low-income families, to B.C. where we do not, and her parents just could not afford dental care for their family. Neither could she or her husband afford the large amount it would take to have her teeth removed and buy dentures. They both have low-paying jobs without
any benefits, not uncommon here for many young families in the Okanagan, and after paying for rent, basic utilities, and food they have $80 to $100 for anything else for a family of four. How they manage this is mind-boggling. Many seniors are in the same boat on limited income and have no money to pay for dental care. Some are in constant pain and others need dentures or repair of dentures and it is a shame that here in B.C. we do not have a dental plan for low- income seniors or families. Nor do we have access to the income-based low cost Community Dental Centres that exist in other parts of the province. Although the Community Dental Access Centre Committee had been working for four years to try to get one of these centres in Vernon and hope to have one open next year, they need all the help they can get to make it happen. If you want to make a donation or get involved with this much-needed program, call community dental hygienist Laine Lowe at 250-549-5700 or e-mail her at lainelowe@shaw.ca. Amber will certainly be a volunteer for this program and so will I. If you wish to contact me, call me at 250-542-7928 or e-mail me at blackmail1 @telus.net.

Scott legacy lives on through bursary Sisters are vocal with praise for their former singing teacher KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
It’s been quite a few years since Elizabeth Scott retired as one of the area’s long-standing vocal tutors and choir leaders, but her sage voice is still being heard –– through her former students. Two in particular, sisters Heather and Allison Harker, will perform as a testament to their former teacher, and the legacy she has left for the local vocal arts community, in a concert at All Saints Anglican Church Saturday. The performance is a benefit for the Elizabeth Scott Vocal/Choral Bursary that helps young singers studying voice at the post-secondary level, which both the Harker sisters are currently doing. And both have received some monetary help through the Scott bursary. This year’s recipient, Allison, 21, is an opera student entering her fourth year at the University of British Columbia, while 23-year-old Heather, a former bursary recipient, is about to take her masters in vocal performance at the University of Victoria. “Money is always needed. This is an art form where you spend a lot of money to start your career with the training –– acting, singing–– you need to contribute a lot,” said Allison. “It’s also important that this (bursary) is connected with our community so that others can pursue singing.” The Harker sisters have gone in different directions when it comes to their own chosen vocal vocations. “I’ve focussed on opera, whereas, my sister sings more contemporary music, Britton and Barber. I perform music written before that, namely Verdi and Mozart.” Both home in Vernon for part of the summer, Allison and Heather (who some may also remember as Tiger Lily in the Powerhouse Theatre production of Peter Pan in 2003) first joined the Young Scott Singers, headed by Scott, when they were in Grades 3 and 5, respectively. They went on to take private lessons from Scott for a number of years, and both attribute their former teacher to where they are today. “She is definitely the one that got me into

Vocalists Heather, left, and Allison Harker are back in their hometown of Vernon and perform in concert Saturday at All Saints Anglican Church to benefit the Elizabeth Scott Vocal/Choral Bursary. music and especially classical music,” said Allison. “It’s a huge thing, the encouragement we received from Mrs. Scott.” Even before they began studying voice, the girls loved to sing. Their mother says that when they were little, if she couldn’t see them in a store, she could always locate them because they would be singing. Scott also saw their potential early on. “As singers, both Heather and Allison’s
voices were crucial to the sound of the ensembles with which they sang. I remember vividly that Esultate, the group of six singers that Allison sang with, totally and effortlessly filled All Saints Anglican Church with their sound,” she said. Allison was in Grade 10 and her sister in Grade 12 when their parents, Jill Holmes and Kim Harker, moved the family up to Alaska for a job opportunity. The girls
continued their vocal studies with Mari Hahn, a professor at the University of Anchorage. While Heather went abroad for a year after graduating, then entered the bachelor of music in voice studies at both the University of Mt. Allison and New Brunswick, Allison joined a high school ensemble, and says it was then that she decided she wanted to be an opera singer. “I knew pretty early on I wanted to be in opera, and I have been building my technique ever since. It takes a long time to reach a professional level,” she said. The girls’ parents moved back to Vernon after Allison graduated high school. Last summer, the UBC student had the opportunity to visit China, and sang in Beijing, along with other singers from around the world. This year, Allison is performing in Mozart’s The Magic Flute with other UBC singers and young artists from the U.S. in Ontario as well as in Prague in the Czech Republic. “Allison has found in her studies that her voice has developed higher and higher, which enables her to toss off arias sung by the Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute with great ease,” said Scott. Allison is also expected to perform along with the UBC Opera Ensemble with the Okanagan Symphony in its Viennese Waltz concert scheduled for January, 2011. Heather, in the meantime, spent the past summer studying art songs and contemporary music at the Vancouver International Song Institute, and is finishing her masters in early and contemporary music.

student. Then he meets Luke (Rick Malambri), leader of The House of Pirates –– a close-knit group of street dancers who live in a huge warehouse called The Vault, located above a club in the city. So here’s the aforementioned deal. Left to Luke by his late parents, the club isn’t making enough money to pay the bills, and the bank is closing in. The only way to keep The Vault open is for the Pirates to beat their rivals, the House of Samurai, in the World Jam dance competition. There’s more to the tale: romance, clichés, etc., but Step Up 3-D is all about the dancing, as well it should be. The cast features a couple of polished dancers who can also act (Alyson Stoner is a charmer) and many who can’t. And the 3-D effects are passable, not dazzling, but certainly
better than the lame, muddy tricks of The Last Airbender. Again, if you like dancing you’ll like Step Up 3-D. It’s really too flimsy of a movie for me to give a good grade to, but I repeat, it’s not really a movie anyway.

Arts Curators discuss future of public galleries VPAG curator Lubos Culen joins panel for Okanagan Institute showcase series Morning Star Staff
To curate means to select, organize and look after objects in a collection or exhibit. However, the task of a curator or director of a public art gallery is much more complicated than this simple definition. “Public art galleries hold a special place in their communities. They showcase the work of local and national artists, they facilitate dialogue with their communities, providing educational art experiences for all ages,” says Robert MacDonald, creator of the Okanagan Institute, which is holding the public discussion, The Culture of Curation: the Collections and Exhibitions of Public Art Galleries, Wednesday at the Kalamalka campus of Okanagan College. “How a public art gallery is curated is a reflection of their social and geographical climate, of the resources of their facilities and staff, of the support they receive from their communities and other funding bodies,” he added. Vernon Public Art Gallery curator Lubos Culen will be part of the discussion on the challenges of curating for his community, while also participating in a Canada-wide dialogue on contemporary art.
Singer raises money for tower Morning Star Staff
Vocalist Mica Lemiski has been singing for the health of her community. And her efforts have paid off. The local talent, seen recently in Lights of Broadway’s production of The Sound of Music, raised more than $500 for the Vernon Mica Lemiski Jubilee Hospital F o u n d a t i o n’s Building a Tower of Care campaign with her June concert, The Bright Side, held at the Vernon Community Music School. “Medical equipment is costly and there was no better place to help than the new mat/child unit,” said the 18
year old. Lemiski, who has trained with vocal instructor Charity Van Gameren at the VCMS, played piano and sang to a sold-out audience of more than 80 people. Her concert featured many of her own compositions as well as other contemporary pieces. Not only has Lemiski been busy raising money for the Building a Tower of Care campaign, she has completed her first CD of self-written compositions at the Hunter Audio Studios in Kelowna. The Clarence Fulton secondary school grad also recently performed at Vernon’s Rarearth Music Festival after placing third in the Our Kids Have Talent competition. She is leaving Vernon for Montreal next month to further her studies at McGill University.

A new method of rating patients in hospital is being developed to assess their risk of being re-admitted or dying within the next 30 days. Known by the acronym LACE, it looks at these four variables: L is length of stay. The longer the hospital stay, the greater the probability of re-admission. A is acuity of the problem. The more serious the problem, the greater the risk. C is comorbity. How many other medical problems are there? E is number of Emergency Room visits. Aerobic exercise is important for our better health. To benefit from it your heart rate has to rise to a certain target rate relative to your age. To figure out your target heart rate, subtract your age from 220. Then multiply the result by 0.6 and 0.8. If you are 60, then your exercising heart rate will be between 95 and 128. To count your heart rate, count the pulse beats on your wrist for 15 seconds then multiply by four. If you aren’t used to exercising, check with your doctor before starting. Tobacco smokers are exposed to first-hand smoke through inhalation and to second-hand smoke by breathing in again what they’ve exhaled. They also have third-hand exposure from the smoke embedding in their clothes, car upholstery and on walls and furniture. A real triple threat. If all vaccinations were stopped, many diseases would once again become common. These diseases include polio, measles, mumps, meningitis, whooping cough (pertussis), pneumonia, Hepatitis B and chickenpox. Vaccinations against these diseases have saved much parental heartache and millions of doctor visits. Modern medications also have saved millions of lives over the years but they are double-edged swords. Learn about your medications. We can help. Have Your Prescriptions Filled With Us

the digitization of the museum’s permanent collection of more than 12,000 artifacts. She managed a wide variety of complex art projects in her roles as director of Galerie SAW (1984-1988), arts officer at the Ontario Arts Council (1988-93), and as executive director of the Art Gallery of Windsor (1993-2001). During her tenure at the Art Gallery of Windsor, Nagy oversaw the capital campaign and building project that relocated the AGW first into a six-year interim location in a regional shopping centre and then, into a new purpose-built $27 million facility. She received an honorary doctorate for her contributions to arts and culture from the University of Windsor, and has also worked independently assisting with visual art projects at the City of Hamilton, the City of Detroit and the Toronto Zoo. In addition to her board duties at the Canadian Museums Association, Nagy is a member of the board of the Ontario Association of Art Galleries and a member of Canadian Art Museum Directors’ Association. The Culture of Curation: the Collections and Exhibitions of Public Art Galleries takes place at 7 p.m. at the Kalamalka Cafe on the campus of Okanagan College in Vernon. This is the ninth event the institute has held there, and the 165th public presentation offered by the Okanagan Institute since 2007. To register for this event go to www.okanaganinstitute.com.
Most of Culen’s writing and curatorial work is focused on contemporary art production. A contemporary artist, his studio practice is concerned with the examination of the inevitable conditions associated with the human conflict reflecting the existential factor of human experience. Paul Crawford, director/curator of the Penticton Art Gallery, will also speak. The former director/curator at the Grand Forks Art Gallery arrived in the Okanagan in 2006. Also known across the province as a writer, social historian, art consultant and past private gallery owner, Crawford’s love of art has led him to amass a collection of more than 1,500 works mostly by Canadian artists. He is the founder of the International One Minute Play Festival and a co-producer of the annual Arts Wells Festival and currently sits on the board of Island Mountain Arts in Wells, B.C., and has been recently invited to sit on the board of the Joseph Plaskett Foundation. Nataley Nagy has more than 23 years experience in the visual arts sector. She is an alumnus of the Getty Leadership Institute (2007) and the Banff Arts Administration Training Program (1984). Before moving to Kelowna to take on the position of executive director of the Kelowna Art Gallery, Nagy was the executive director of the Textile Museum of Canada (2002-2009) where she oversaw

Home LEEDs way in green living BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
One half of Vernon’s most energy efficient home is now off the market but the other side of the duplex at 2403-35th Avenue is still up for grabs. The home, designed and built by Okanagan Sustained Homes partners Hugh J. Bitz and Carl St. Jean, was recently given the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) platinum certification which is the highest standard there is. A couple from the Lower Mainland recently bought the western half of the duplex (address 2403B). It received the platinum nod in June after an inspection and is the only residence in Vernon with LEED certification of any kind. Originally, the pair envisioned the home meeting LEED’s gold rating but as they progressed, it was apparent the pinnacle was within reach. “Because we were so close and we had many of the fundamentals like location and extra insulation in the walls, we realized all we need to do to get platinum is get some highefficiency appliances and a rainwater-harvesting system,” said Bitz. The duplex’s location would allow residents to walk to Vernon’s downtown core and rely less on vehicles and that scores points with LEED evaluators. Besides its location, virtually every aspect of the home conserves energy, allows inhabitants to leave the car behind or places little demand on the Earth. The bamboo floors in the entranceway and kitchen are durable so they won’t need to be replaced. Bamboo also grows quickly so it is a fast-replenishing resource. The windows are triple thick and contain argon gas in between the glass panes for greater thermal resistance. The kitchen cabinets are certified Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) to ensure sustainable harvesting. Even the landscaping conserves energy and water with a xeriscaped back yard of bunch grasses and artificial turf requiring little water and no gas-guzzling lawnmowers. Wherever possible, they used locally made fixtures or at least ones made in Canada to cut down on the transportation of goods. It’s kind of like the 100-mile diet of home design, except with homes, it’s more like 500 miles but still better than relying on goods shipped from China, for example. St. Jean was inspired to build a more people- and Earthfriendly home after his wife was diagnosed with cancer. He began looking at air circulation and filtration in homes as way to prevent exposure to carcinogens but found out a lot more about green buildings along the way. “It’s a lot of research, a lot of time,” said St. Jean. “It’s an evolving thing and we try to stay on the cutting edge of that.” That includes using clay-based finishes instead of paint on walls and low- or no-VOC (volatile organic compound) glues in furniture and cabinets. Down in the basement, which could be converted into a mortgage-helper suite with a bit of work, St. Jean and Bitz have installed a geothermally powered hot water tank that warms water as it cools the air. “It’s like your refrigerator that gives off heat at the back,” said Bitz. “That heat is going to the hot water tank.”

Architect Hugh J. Bitz (left) and builder Carl St. Jean recently secured Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) platinum certification, the highest possible rating, for the East Hill home they designed. Even though one side of the duplex has been purchased, Bitz and St. Jean are happy to show off the space to anyone interested in learning more about sustainable living. “We want more people to see it,” said St. Jean. “We’re trying to show and introduce people to green living and green design.” St. Jean (250-260-8425) and Bitz (250-878-5744) are more than happy to arrange viewings of the home. Bitz even looked into the future for his design. There is only one load-bearing pole on each side of the duplex. That means all the walls could one day be removed if, for instance, 50 years down the road, owners wanted to convert the space for commercial use. The homes have taken a bit longer to be snapped up than the pair had hoped and they concede the home is quite a high price for the neighbourhood. But energy savings and quality of life are factors buyers would do well to consider too. “We’re trying to advocate quality over quantity,” said Bitz, adding the home is more than 1,700 square feet excluding the basement.

and Bitz, an architect, are close to starting another LEED project not far from the duplex. That would introduce another sustainable home to the area and the pair hopes it sparks a trend in the neighbourhood.

wo days later, a total of 3.5 hours on the phone (three hours of that time on hold), four representatives, and a ton of frustration all equaled disastrous customer service and a complete breakdown in trust between the customer and a business. All this over a simple reinstatement of a password and a username. Making your business accessible to a customer is vital to the success of your organization. If you are not reachable, you are not maximizing your potential as a business owner. While face-to-face often provides the best method for stellar customer service, it Val Trevis is not always the customer’s first choice of contact nor is it always accessible. Your business must also acknowledge other methods like the World Wide Web, e-mail and the more traditional phone call that continues to dominate customer service inquiries. Singling out phone contact, you can achieve greatness, respect and garner referrals with a few simple steps: Clear contact details – make sure your phone number is clearly displayed on anything associated with your business: receipts, marketing materials, websites, online & printed directories, and e-mail signatures. The human voice – automated phone systems are very common and most often exasperating for the caller especially when you are prompted several times only to end the call speaking with a machine. When it comes to voice versus machine, the vote would sway to the need we all feel to speak with a warm-blooded being. Calls on hold: if you have to put someone on

hold, make it quick. Thirty seconds might seem like a very short time but when you are the caller listening to elevator music or poor radio reception, 30 seconds can feel like eternity. If you can’t redirect the customer in 30 seconds, take a message, promise a call back and follow through. Remember they have called you to do business with you. Specific contacts: people often call looking to speak with someone particular in the organization. Either make that person accessible by phone or allow employees to take ownership of every call. If questions can be answered by employees without transferring the caller from person to person, your business will score a few extra customer service points. Empower your employees through education of your business and they will often be able to handle the bulk of the phone calls. Either way, make it easy to answer the caller’s questions. No customer should have to schedule 3.5 hours of their lives to reinstate a password and username for a service they pay for. Instead a five-minute phone call should suffice. As a business owner, put yourself in the shoes of the customer. If you think your business offers exceptional customer service through easy contact, check it out for yourself. Call your business, go through your voice mail system in detail and fine tune the particulars. Taking my own advice, I found several opportunities for improvement after going through our voice mail system. You might too.

YOU AND THE LAW RIGHTS OF COMMON-LAW COUPLES TO CHANGE By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. John and Julie (not their real names) have lived together for 10 years. He bought their house, which is in his name. But she helps pay the mortgage and contributes to other living expenses. They consider it “their” home, which she has helped spruce up over time by painting it, buying new curtains and lovingly working on the garden. Julie would probably be very surprised to learn that if they should break up now, she isn’t entitled to get anything from the sale of their house (without a court fight). But the law dealing with this is expected to change soon. The BC government plans to modernize our current Family Relations Act (which, along with the federal Divorce Act, regulates family law in BC). The new law will be called the Family Law Act, and it should be out next year in 2011. There are many proposed changes, but some of the biggest are those giving commonlaw partners the same rights as married couples.
in trust for you – and these lawsuits are complicated and expensive. The proposed new law would change this so common-law couples who have lived together for two or more years, as well as any common-law couple who has a child together, would generally split everything down the middle, except for gifts, inheritances, court awards and property owned before or after the relationship. To opt out of these property division rules, couples – both married and unmarried – could sign an agreement to this effect. And the new scheme would limit the court’s ability to set aside or change these agreements (e.g., an agreement could only be changed if one partner didn’t understand what they were signing or didn’t disclose significant property or debt).
Another key change in the new law deals with the adverNick Vlahos sarial nature of how separations are currently handled.

CORRECT YOUR METABOLISM
JANE CASSIE Special To The Morning Star
WASHINGTON STATE - It’s been a few years since I’ve straddled a saddle. And though my plump rump will likely survive the trot, I’m not sure about the rest of my aging body. Trepidation mounts as the horses charge up to the podium where I stand –or shake –in my boots. The only consolation is –the two other gal pals who are with me, are shaking even more. We’ve come to Sun Mountain Lodge to revive, reconnect and recreate and this gem on the outskirts of Winthrop, Washington promises it all. Like a diamond in the rough, it glitters from its mountain-top home and provides every nuance of comfort known to man or womankind –posh accommodations, award-winning wine and cuisine, a spa to soothe those saddle sores, and thirty head of horses to create them. Beads of sweat drip from my brow as the galloping group invades my comfort zone. But fortunately Kit Cramer, who could pass as The Horse Whisperer, comes to the rescue. Sporting chaps, spurs and twin braids that fall from her wide-brimmed Stetson, she’s a cowgirl to the core. Even her western drawl sounds authentic. Thankfully it also calms the energized pack. “Each one of these twelve-hundred pounds of horsepower has a brain the size of a walnut,” she chuckles, “but they all provide a safe four-wheel drive ride.” Her wrangling expertise is matched by a sense of humor and while sauntering along the rim of Sun Mountain’s 915-metre (3,000 feet) high plateau, I’m hoping there’s truth to her gesture. Nestled in a valley far below is the western town of Winthrop, a popular tourist haunt where we’d spent the previous

The cowboy dream prevails Continued from previous page The elusive cowboy dream also lingers in the hearts of many who visit the lodge. How can it not? Its 3,000 embracing acres are laced with enough trails, flower-choked meadows and jaw-dropping vistas to satisfy any Roy Roger wannabe. The Northwest feel is incorporated into all 96 rooms. Although any one of them, whether in the main lodge, Gardner or Robinson buildings would of heightened our stay we had decided to go for more seclusion. We wanted to wine, dine and have diva downtime without any interruptions. And our fully equipped homestyle cabin at nearby Patterson Lake was certainly filling the bill. From our promontory trail we have a great view of this lake. Later, we’ll catch up on zzz’s, yack on our sunsplashed veranda, and sing along with John Denver. If we still have energy we can try fly fishing, river rafting, kayaking or check out the hiking and biking trails that weave over this terrain.
and Carol has her jostled spine massaged, I go for a treatment that’s most needed these days –an anti-aging facial. With Kazia at the helm, my pores are cleansed, exfoliated, massaged and masked. I’m pretty sure her grand finale head massage produces a snore. An hour later we all emerge in Zen-like states. Decadence continues in the restaurant where we later dine and wine. Accompanying Chef Bradshaw’s artistically presented specialties is a wine list that would
appease Henry VIII. With a 5,000 bottle cellar it’s not surprising to hear that the Washington State Wine Commission rated Sun Mountain as the top wine restaurant in 2010. And while soaking in the lush Methow Valley view, and grazing on gastronomic goodies, we raise our glasses for one final toast. “Here’s to revival, reconnection and recreation – and one great gal-loping getaway.” Jane Cassie is with Travel Writers’ Tales, an independent travel article syndicate.

Riders take a slow plod on a trail along Patterson Lake. But there’s still more riding to do! Our final point of interest is the Hough Homestead, is a landmark that dates back to the late 1800s. As well as a few relics from the past there are picnic tables ready for tonight’s Cowboy Camp Dinner. “Why not join us,” Kit asks, when we get back to the ranch. “There’ll be singing ‘round the campfire
and a fabulous spread of food.” Although steak, baked beans and all the fixings sound fingerlickin’ good, we have our hearts set on some award-winning fare for this final night. Above all though, comfort comes first. After prying our duffs off the saddles we make a bow-legged beeline for the spa. While Sue gets her dusty pinkies pedicured

Takeshi (Tom) Chiba Takeshi (Tom) Chiba passed away peacefully at Vernon Jubilee Hospital on August 10, 2010 at the age of 95. Tom was born in Fintry on June 1, 1915. He went to Japan for schooling as a child and returned to Canada some years later. His family was one of the Bella Vista pioneers, growing fruit and vegetables. In 1935 he married Chieko Ogata and had two children, Miyoko and Susumu. During their 70-plus years of marriage, he also took great delight in fishing and hunting, as well as tinkering on many projects in his work shed. Tom was predeceased by his son Susumu in March of 2007 and then his wife Chieko in April the same year. He is survived by his loving daughter Miyoko who served as his primary caregiver during the last years of his life, his brothers Harry in Kelowna and Mutsuo (Dave) in Hope, his sister Toshiko Shirai in Kelowna, his sisters-in-law Tsutako Sakakibara and Natsuko Ogata, both of Vernon, and many nieces and nephews. The family would also like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the doctors, nurses, respite workers and caregivers who took such great care of Tom while he was at home.

MAYRHOFER, NATHAN JOHN 1978 – 2010
It is with sadness we announce the passing of Nathan John Mayrhofer at the age of 32 years. Nathan was born May 6, 1978 in Nelson, British Columbia. He came into the world bouncing and full of life and that is how he lived. Nathan loved many things but most of all he loved family and was a loving son, brother, grandson, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend. He was always there to lend a hand or to help out anyone who needed it. He loved model trains, Star Trek and rock and roll. What a great passion he had for the outdoors and always felt most alive when he worked in the high country. It was his dream to work in Alaska. His biggest passion was his family who will miss him with all their hearts. A Service and Celebration of Nathan’s Life will be held at 2:00 p.m. Sunday, August 15, 2010 at the Eagles Hall, 5101 – 25th Avenue, Vernon, BC. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family via email: vernon@pafs.net
