Fair-goers flocking to Armstrong RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The clock is ticking for anyone wanting to enjoy the North Okanagan’s largest festival. The 111th annual Interior Provincial Exhibition, which began Wednesday in Armstrong, wraps up today. “It’s great to see people from all over the world here but there’s been tons of people from Vernon and the North Okanagan,” said Bryan Burns, general manager. And the numbers speak for themselves. A total of 24,210 people passed through the gate Wednesday and there were 26,575 Thursday (attendance for Friday and Saturday was not known at press time). In 2009, 146,000 people took in the IPE and that could be possible again this year given the steady crowds expected over the weekend. “Our Rotary parking lot was absolutely full Thursday and a couple of board members said they have never seen that before,” said Burns, who isn’t surprised that so many people are attracted to the fair. “There’s great value for money — there’s agricultural stuff and new stuff to see. You can do the Iron Chef cooking contest or you can watch a calf be born. You can spends hours here.” A major draw has been the stampede, which is hosting the Wrangler Canadian Rodeo Tour Finals this year.

The IPE wraps up its five-day run today. The grandstands have been packed virtually every night for the rodeo, which runs today from
8 to 10 p.m. What has also helped with IPE attendance is the weather — sunny
skies and warm temperatures. “It’s been ideal conditions for the fair,” said Burns.

MLA defends himself against opposition attacks on the HST RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster continues to refute claims that he knew the Liberal government would initiate the harmonized sales tax after the last election. The NDP has urged Foster to “come clean” about his awareness of the tax in light of documents that show some government activities surrounding the issue
before the 2009 vote. “I had no knowledge or discussion of the HST prior to the election,” said Foster. In a media release, NDP MLA Michelle Mungall calls on Foster to clarify the matter. “If Mr. Foster knew that the finance minister and the premier were deceiving British Columbians about the HST, he betrayed his conEric Foster stituents by keeping silent,” said Mungall, who represents Nelson-
Creston. “If he was kept in the dark and left to suffer the consequences – now is the time for him to stand up and speak out on behalf of the people who elected him.” Foster insists he has not been misled by government officials. “I have faith in the people who told me how the sequence of events occurred,” he said. Mungall goes on to say that an internal study shows that the HST will reduce incomes and eliminate jobs.
“If Mr. Foster wants to rescue his credibility he needs to condemn the sneaky tactics used by the B.C. Liberal premier and finance minister to bring in the HST, and he needs to commit to doing his utmost to help scrap this unfair tax,” she said. Foster says he is tired of Mungall’s attacks. “If her party was in power, would they repeal the HST? They won’t answer that question,” he said. “Why did the NDP government in Nova Scotia raise it by two per cent?”

HAIR COMPANY Full-day kindergarten begins C MOBILE s J’ ROGER KNOX
Morning Star Staff
A move to fullday kindergarten has the superintendent of the North OkanaganShuswap school district hopeful that will help ease declining enrolment. Doug Pearson said administration had originally projected a decline of 190 students for the district, which includes schools in Armstrong, Enderby, Falkland, Grindrod and Ashton Creek. But now, with all-day kindergarten being phased in, the district may be looking at a drop of only 110 students. “We can’t predict how many more kids and families may be moving out of the area due to economics,” said Pearson. “If you take full-day kindergarten out of the mix, it’s pretty much the same as last year (the district was down 250 students after the first month of ‘09).” The Nor th Okanagan-Shuswap school district has had a few full-day kindergarten classes for kids in need of it, said Pearson. But with the B.C. government’s edict of fullday kindergarten in all districts over the next couple of years, North Okanagan-Shuswap is phasing it in to a little more than half of its schools this year, and the rest next year. “The government’s

Construction will start soon on a new M.V. Beattie Elementary in Enderby. view is it’s voluntary, but I think people realize over the long haul there’s some advantage to it,” said Pearson. Full-day kindergarten won’t be a repeat of morning sessions in the afternoon. “Lots of new techniques and strategies of play therapy will be implemented,” he said. “Our teachers are getting in-service inside and outside the district from early childhood educators.” Total student numbers for the district are expected to be approximately 6,700, he said, about 2,300 less than in 1996 when the district was first amalgamated. He predicts that declining enrolment will level off in 2014. “At this time we’re cautiously optimistic we’re going to have a good year regardless of
some of the directions we get faced with at the last moment by the ministry,” said Pearson, adding that the board has made prudent decisions. “We will be in a good state for this year, relatively speaking. We will always seek resources as we have a lot of ideas and demand for programs. I think as a district we have managed the situation much more easily than other districts, because the board has made some prudent decisions over the years. We’re not faced with some decisions that some districts have put off.” Pearson said Armstrong has suffered
the least in terms of declining enrollment. “Armstrong has maintained itself fairly well, although it’s still going down. With improvements to the highway, Armstrong is establishing itself more as a bedroom community to Vernon.” He said no significant changes have been made to busing or school start times this year, other than five to 10 minute changes to better accommodate time tables in secondary schools. There is, however, a significant change starting in Enderby, as the new M.V. Beattie Elementary School is being built.
“We’re ready to roll,” said Pearson of the project. “The timeline is about 14 months. We thought we might be able to get in for the start of the 2011 school year, but now we’re looking at maybe October of 2011.” A wing at the old school has been demolished and reorganizing is going on to locate students and staff in existing classrooms without having to add portables. There are also administrative changes in the North Okanagan. Silke Yardley moves from Ashton Creek Elementary to become the new principal at Highland Park Elementary in Armstrong. Steve Atkins went from Highland Park to South Broadview in Salmon Arm. Barry Dearing moves to Ashton Creek from South Broadview. Rob Ellis is the new principal in Falkland, moving from Silver Creek to replace Deni McKinney, who is now in Grindrod. Joel Menzies goes from Armstrong Elementary to Silver Creek. Joan Chafe moved from Grindrod Elementary to Parkview in Sicamous. ---with files from the Salmon Arm Observer.

Police have released the name of the victim of Wednesday’s three-vehicle accident near Enderby but are saying little else about the investigation. Donovan Pippus, 17, of Salmon Arm, was killed when the Pontiac he was driving northbound on Highway 97A near Enderby collided with a southbound grey Dodge pickup truck shortly before midnight. RCMP North Okanagan Traffic Services said, in a press release, the southbound Dodge crossed over the centre line and collided with Pippus’s vehicle. The crash resulted in the pickup being

The operator of five games of chance is promising to have them back at next year’s Interior Provincial Exhibition. The games were shut down Thursday because the Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch stated they did not conform to regulations. Bob Hauser, owner of West Coast Amusements, which owns the games, says he wasn’t aware of the need to have a contract with a licensed community group to run gaming events at agricultural fairs. “We’ve been running them for years. If it was good then, why isn’t it good now?” he said. “It will get rectified for next year. There was not enough time to rectify it for this year. We don’t want to get anyone upset.

College ready for a new year RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Okanagan College’s Kalamalka campus expects to be at capacity when classes start Tuesday. It’s anticipated that about 1,000 students will enrol for an array of programs this coming year. “By the looks of things, we’ll be up 15 per cent,” said John Lent, regional dean. “We’re bursting at the seams.” Presently, only a two per cent increase is indicated but that’s because registration for adult academic career preparation is just getting underway. “We have a large number of students in that stream,” said Lent, adding that he is confident that students in that program will bolster overall numbers. Lent believes many people are turning to Okanagan College as a way of developing careers that are mean-

We’re offering a human service worker program and rotating trades.” Besides those courses, there is strong inter-
est in university transfer arts classes at the Kalamalka campus. “We also have a twoyear program in writing and publishing and there are 25 per cent more students in that one,” said Lent. The international students program has also expanded. “It’s almost doubled its intake. We have
more partnerships with China, Korea and Japan,” said Lent. At all Okanagan College campuses in the valley, there’s been a 19 per cent increase in registrations over last year. “The pattern that has seen us grow more than 65 per cent in the last five years looks to be accelerating,” said president Jim Hamilton in a release. “Last year, we educated more than 8,500 full-time equivalent students, including more than 420 international student FTEs. More than 20,000 people took courses and programs with us.” So far, all campuses have registered 745 more students than they did last year at this point in the registration process. Okanagan College is the largest college east of the Lower Mainland and the second largest trades training institution in B.C.
Erratic driving leads to guilty plea Morning Star Staff
A 38-year-old Lake Country woman, whose swerving, erratic driving prompted many calls from concerned citizens, can’t get behind the wheel of a car for two years. Kim Young pleaded guilty in provincial court Aug. 24 to one count of care and control of a motor vehicle with a blood-alcohol concentration of more than .08. Charges of impaired driving and dangerous driving were stayed. Young was fined $1,500 and given a two-year driving prohibition. On May 4 at around 10:35 a.m., several citizens reported a red Toyota Land Cruiser was driving erratically in the Kelowna area, swerving all over the road, and even jumping the curb before correcting. Several of the callers followed the vehicle at a distance while on the phone with 911 operators, until police were able to locate and stop the vehicle
at Richter Street and Harvey Avenue. The driver exhibited strong signs of alcohol impairment. She was investigated for driving while impaired, and was taken to the Kelowna detachment where she provided samples of her breath that were analyzed at three times the legal limit.

Vernon’s top police officer is applauding the B.C. government’s impending new impoundment rules for excessive speed. Effective Sept. 20, those travelling 40 km/h or more over the posted speed limit will face a charge of excessive speeding that will trigger a mandatory sevenday impoundment for a first offence, a 30-day impoundment for a second, and 60 days for subsequent excessive speeding offences within two years. “I am impressed with the strong stance taken and Motor Vehicle Act changes being introduced to help police address repeat aggressive drivers,” said Supt. Reg Burgess. “Excessive speeders endanger all highway users in addition to themselves, and, unfortunately, we have ample evidence of that in our policing area over past years.” About 10,000 tickets are issued by B.C. police annually for excessive speeding. Impoundment is in addition to existing penalties, which include: ■ A fine of $368 to $483, depending on how excessive the speed. ■ Three penalty points on a driver’s licence. ■ An ICBC driverrisk premium of $320 per year for three years, over and above Autoplan insurance premiums. “Having to pay a ticket is just not enough deterrent in many cases,” said

The goal of new impoundment rules in B.C. is to get excessive speeders to slow down and reduce the number of accidents. Burgess. “The deterrent that slows that driver down could be the one that saves some lives.” Solicitor General Mike de Jong said the new impoundment rule’s purpose is to save lives by going after the kind of driver who drives significantly and dangerously over the posted speed limit, and get those drivers off the road. Street racers are also affected by the new rules. While street racing differs from excessive speeding because it involves two or more vehicles trying to outdistance each other, under the new impoundment provi-
sions, both are subject to minimum seven-day impoundments. Previously, street racing had a minimum impoundment period of 48 hours. Additionally, the
Motor Vehicle Act now makes careless acts like excessive tailgating, and reckless driving actions like wheelies and doughnuts subject to a seven-day impoundment.

Kiss of the vamp ire
T
wo 16-year-olds were talking about how much they were enjoying the third season of “True Blood.” I’d heard about HBO’s hit show. But what’s so special about vampires? As if we don’t have enough scary stuff going on in the world: wars, floods, famine, the economy, oil spills, Bristol Palin dancing and hurricanes. We need vampires to scare us? I have nothing against vampires, zombies, werewolves and shapeshifters, (I do, however, have a serious beef with wood sprites), but the success of the unreadable and unwatchable Jim Mullen “Twilight” books and movies made the prospect of sitting through a TV show based on another series of bloodsucker books very low on my list. But “True Blood” turned out to be a different kettle of blood. I am addicted to it. First of all, this is not a show about vampires. This is a show about hot, sweaty, high-definition sex. And lots of it. I cannot name an X-rated film with as much skin as the average episode of this toothy wonder. The fangs and the bloodsucking are just there to keep small children from getting bored. This show is doing for sex what “The Sopranos” did for whacking, what “Deadwood” did for swearing and what “Dexter” is doing for serial killing. It’s brought TV sex out of the closet and into the family room where it belongs. Who doesn’t want to sit in front of the 44-inch LED TV and explain what priapism is to the grandkids and why it’s so funny/sad/terrifying and age-inappropriate? “Granddad, what are washboard abs?” “Granddad, why are they wrestling naked?” Of course, like everything else on TV, it’s fake sex. It’s fake in the same TV way that
THE VILLAGE IDIOT
everyone who works in a TV hospital could also be a runway model and every coffee shop waitress can live in a $4,000-a-month apartment. It makes you wonder if anyone who writes for the boob tube has ever been to a hospital or a coffee shop. Still, the fake sex on “True Blood” is blisteringly hot. The lead characters, who have been wrestling naked on the show for two seasons, have just gotten married in real life. I can imagine the first night of their honeymoon. “Let’s do something wild tonight, honey. Let’s play Scrabble.” The 16-year-olds I’d heard talking about the show before I saw it never mentioned the sex. They talked about the vampires and the violence and murders in front of their parents who, like me, were probably thinking, “Kid stuff, I’ve got more important things to watch.” No, you do not. If your kids or grandkids are talking about “True Blood,” I suggest you watch an episode with them. See how fast they put the kibosh on that idea. Some might say, “Big deal, kids are more sophisticated now than we were at that age.” What would make anyone think that? The smart way teens budget their money? Their sophisticated musical choices? Sexting? Their Facebook taunting? I’m barely sophisticated enough to watch this show, and I saw the U.S. land a man on the moon -- supposedly. Ten years ago the only place you could have seen this show was at a porno theater in the rundown part of town. And you’d have paid extra. “True Blood” is truly sophisticated and borderline brilliant -- top-notch film work, stunning set decoration, clever cinematography, quicksilver editing, moody music, smart acting, surprising scripts -- it is not shabby, under-thecounter, over-lit porno. Wait. What’s the difference? Jim Mullen is the author of “It Takes a Village Idiot: Complicating the Simple Life” and “Baby’s First Tattoo.” You can reach him at jim_mullen@ myway.com
North Okanagan Regional District directors have decided to stay the course and not change the date for Vernon withdrawing from the fire dispatch service. That all came after a plea from city director Wayne Lippert. “Instead of making it look like we’re bouncing back and forth, it’s done and let’s leave it done,” he said to his colleagues. “What will the perception be in the public (over rescinding the original date)?” And while there is logic to that argument, there is also evidence that regional district staff recommended changing the withdrawal date after consultation with city staff. The comments made by Lippert apparently go against his own administration, and if that is the case, a breakdown in communications has been exposed. And the situation doesn’t put the city in a good light if there was an apparent agreement between the city and NORD, and then the politicians reversed it at the last minute. Of course the regional district isn’t squeaky clean in all of this. Why was there such a rush to grant the city’s request to leave fire dispatch in August, when year-end is customary for such action, and it would have provided a clean break for everyone? Did it happen in August to prevent city directors from voting on a new service provider for areas outside of Vernon (Vernon didn’t bid on the contract but wanted to be handed the job)? In the end, though, all of this bickering over withdrawal dates just highlights political games and really means nothing. North Okanagan residents will continue to have firefighters dispatched to emergencies, whether it is by the current provider until Dec. 31 or someone else in the future.

Police actions draw questions
R
E: Kalamalka Road — 60 marijuana plant and a free pass. What are the RCMP thinking?? The last time I checked, growing marijuana was highly illegal and considered a grow-op. With all of the problems that stem from illegal drugs and drug use, I am totally baffled why someone was not put in cuffs and charged with manufacturing a controlled substance. I'm so frustrated, steaming mad, confused and in disbelief as to how this whole thing has been handled. What kind of precedent does this set for PETITIONS PROCEED I have been working for quite some time on two petitions in Spallumcheen. One for the implementation of traffic lights at the McLeod subdivision intersection on Highway 97A, north of Armstrong (this being the access to a subdivision with 200-plus homes, with more development being planned). On Dec. 15, copies of the petition with 821 signatures were sent to George Abbott and the Ministry of Transportation and I haven't even got acknowledgment that this package was received. With the double lane highway stopping just short of the Powerhouse/ Landsdowne intersection, this may become a perilous bottleneck. When I asked the minister of transportation if Armstrong was deemed too small to warrant a proper under- or overpass, his reply was it was ruled out based on geotechnical concerns with soft soils and major impact on ALR lands and so now we'll be getting a protected-T with an acceleration lane northbound at the Armstrong turnoff off 97A. Currently, I am working on a petition to bring the
other wanna-be growers, manufacturers and future drug dealers? How is it that one person gets charged and jailed for this type of illegal activity and the other does not? It was not just one marijuana plant, it was 60 plants. Yet the police are arresting people on the street for a bag or a joint. This is ludicrous and I think this should be investigated. Why were there not charges laid? This guy should be treated just like every other person that is busted for growing marijuana. Shawn Cardinal
Fortune Creek rest area up to proper public health and environmental standards. This is the Okanagan Great Divide, designated as a picnic area with highway signage. It is nothing more than a gravel pit, with no signage, no restrooms, no water, and no proper garbage disposal units. In December 2008, I wrote to the Ministry of Environment saying that the dilapidated picnic area is both a health and safety concern. The answer from minister Barry Penner was local Ministry of Transportation staff will be monitoring the site. So much for all the riparian act regulations regarding streams and waterways one receives when applying for a simple building permit. Please drop into Frankie's Nook to sign the petition for Fortune Creek rest area. Maybe we can get Spallumcheen council to make this into a beautiful park or donate the site to a local service club. Something as basic as a street light would help alleviate a lot of the problems, as police could parole it properly. We can all make a difference by improving our own neighbourhoods. Frances Wirtz
SUPPORT RECREATION In response to the Aug. 14 article, Director uneasy about funding, I would like to provide more context around the advocacy work the B.C. Recreation and Parks Association (BCRPA) is doing on behalf of the province on the issue of recreation infrastructure renewal and the body of research our information is based on. In an effort to know more about the state of B.C.’s recreation infrastructure, the BCRPA launched a community recreation facilities assessment study to take stock of these assets and evaluate their condition. This was the first detailed study of its kind in B.C. The goal was to develop a clear picture of the state of our aging recreation infrastructure and what needs to be done to keep it a vital part of our communities for coming generations. Last year, after five years of research and analysis, the BCRPA released the A Time for Renewal report, summarizing the findings of the study. It concluded that 68 per cent of the province’s infrastructure is over 25 years of age and in urgent need of upgrade or replacement.
The inability of our recreation infrastructure 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. As the provincial representative for the parks, recreation and culture sector, the BCRPA is now advocating on this issue on behalf of all communities in B.C. Essential to this work is the demonstration of support local governments have for the need to renew and rep nity resources – for the benefits they bring to their own communities as well as to the province as a whole. We recognize that each community has different needs in relation to recreation infrastructure renewal but overall this province is reaching a crisis point for capital investment. With a collective voice we can ensure the urgency and importance of this issue and how it impacts all of us across BC is heard and understood. Our parks, pools, arenas and community centres form the hearts of our communities. These places are where people gather for neighbourhood celebra-
tions, where they cheer local sports heroes, and where they go to learn new skills and take part in physical activity. Recreation has the capacity to improve the quality of life for all British Columbians. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee’s consideration of our request for support, on behalf of their communities. and all of B.C., is appreciated. Suzanne Allard Strutt, Chief executive officer B.C. Recreation and Parks Association TAX TURMOIL We have never seen such arrogance, denial, untruth, and refusal to admit any wrong doing, as we are seeing from the B.C. Liberals. Economists from all across Canada said the HST in B.C. and Ontario is partly to blame for the rise in inflation. B.C. Finance Minister Hanson said, "Don't blame the HST". It must be a terrible burden for this handful of know-it-alls to continue to think they are wiser than anyone else in the country. If they stall long enough, we won't need recall. The people will still be angry and have the bad taste of the
HST on their mind when it comes time to vote again. W.J. Wikman

A Vernon house fire was so intense that the source of ignition may have been destroyed. Investigators have not been able to determine a specific reason for the blaze, which occurred in the 900 block of Mt. Begbie Drive Wednesday, so it is going down as undetermined at this time. “The damage in the area was so significant we couldn’t come up with an exact cause,” said Lawrie Skolrood, deputy fire chief. “We have some ideas of how it started but we can’t Lawrie Skolrood prove it.” The fire may have weakened the physical integrity of the structure so access to the building has also been a challenge for investigators. But while the cause is being listed as undetermined, crews will keep trying to determine what led a fire to break out in a basement bedroom. An electrical inspector will be asked to join the investigation. “I’m not considering electrical but we’re trying to rule things out,” said Skolrood. There were three people sleeping upstairs and two downstairs when fire broke before 5:30 a.m. Everyone was able to get outside, and while the owners of the house — who were upstairs — have insurance, the tenants downstairs did not.

School speed zones return For kids in Armstrong, Enderby, Falkland, Grindrod and Ashton Creek, it’s back to the classrooms on Tuesday. For students in Vernon, Coldstream, Cherryville and Lumby, back to school begins Wednesday. For all motorists in the North Okanagan, school zones are back in effect Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. “Drivers may have been lax over the summer, whipping through the school zones, but as of 8 a.m. Tuesday, the speed limit through school zones is 30 kilometres an hour,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “We are asking both drivers and children to be observant of the rules of the road.” Molendyk said some children will be excited about going back to school, or going to school for the first time, and may not be paying close attention to crossing the street, or how they are going to and from school. Police will be out doing spot checks enforcing the speed limit in school zones. “We’re asking everyone to be extra cautious as school starts again,” said Molendyk.
Police are also reminding motorists it’s an offence to pass a school bus when red lights are flashing. That fine is $167 plus points. “We want everyone to have safe school years, and to have no mishaps,” said Molendyk.

Living just off Bella Vista Road, Rudy Mayert has seen his share of speeding motorists and traffic accidents. Now retired, at 69, from a life-long career as a heavy equipment operator in the construction industry, Mayert wants to help slow down traffic in the North Okanagan. Mayert is one of the new volunteers with Citizens On Patrol joining existing helpers in revamping the Vernon RCMP’s Speed Watch program. “It’s a program that’s really needed, especially where I live,” said Mayert after a training session Wednesday morning. “It gives me something to do and I want to help. I have a cousin who is a retired police officer and he tells me he wishes they’d had this program a long time ago.” A resurgence of volunteers made it easier to bring back the Speed Watch program, which took a hiatus following spring. The program operates in in support of ICBC and their Road Sense initative. It is directly co-ordinated by the Vernon RCMP Crime Prevention Safe Communities Unit and its volunteers. “This is a program that is really needed in The City of Vernon,” said Regan Borisenko, crime prevention coordinator with the safe communities unit, and one of the Speed Watch training instructors. The program’s purpose is to enhance the safety and overall livability of North Okanagan communities by increasing the level of awareness surrounding the issues of unsafe speed and dangerous driving, and reducing the incidents of speeding. Speed Watch enables the tracking of statistics in the areas being monitored which in turn benefits police,
municipal and district governments as well as ICBC. “This program works,” said Christine Silver, ICBC road safety co-ordinator for the southern Interior. “That’s why ICBC puts dollars into this program.” Volunteers like Mayert are highly trained in the operations of the equipment and statistical reporting, and the use of digital speed reader boards and radar units. They will be concentrating on areas where speeding is a major hazard. With students heading back to class, Speed Watch volunteers will initially be concentrating on school zones in order to keep the motoring public aware of the change in speed. Speed Watch will be held around Vernon and the North Okanagan.
SEPTEMBER 9 THE COMMUNITY OF VERNON WITH THE FIRST NATIONS FRIENDSHIP CENTRE JOINS THE WORLD IN PROCLAIMING FASD AWARENESS DAY Vernon and the First Nations Friendship Centre join with other communities across Canada and the world in support of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Awareness Day, September 9. This day, the 9th day of the 9th month was chosen to underline how important it is for women to avoid drinking alcohol in the 9 months of pregnancy.
SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL HOTEL & KURSPA IN THE OKANAGAN Starting at
To mark the day friends, families and community members will be taking part in the annual FASD Awareness Walk, starting at 12 noon from the North Okanagan Neurological Assoc. onward through Vernon ending at the Friendship Centre where the Centre will be hosting a bar-b-que lunch by donation. FASD is an umbrella term describing the range of harms caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol. These may include physical, mental, behavioural, and/or learning disabilities. While not all individuals with FASD have a low IQ, prenatal alcohol exposure can cause intellectual impairment. The effects are life-long. While there are no precise statistics on the rates of FASD in Canada, estimates are that 9 in every 1000 babies are born with FASD. This means that more than 3,000 babies are born in Canada each year with FASD and many Canadians are living with it. As individuals with FASD need lifelong support and direction, many parents – birth, foster and adoptive – are dedicating their lives to help individuals with FASD cope with the demands of daily life. Health, social, educational and justice system services are also involved, on the community and provincial levels. FASD is preventable. The First Nations Friendship Centre urges all community members to be a part of raising awareness about FASD and its prevention. Working together communities can prevent FASD by supporting pregnant women to avoid alcohol during pregnancy. Community members, health and social service providers, and local decision makers all have a role to play in putting in place the support, services and policies needed to create a compassionate and effective prevention response.

Anyone visiting a Greater Vernon beach will be urged to butt out. On Wednesday, the North Okanagan Regional District board approved a plan to install signs that includes information educating and asking the public not to smoke while soaking up the sun at the beach. “We’re going to encourage people instead of pushing them,” said director Patrick Nicol, pointing out that there won’t be a ban on smoking at beaches. “We don’t have the ability to enforce these things.” The Canadian Cancer Society had requested that smoking be banned on all of Greater Vernon’s beaches. The NORD board

Symposium looks at water 15 WATERFRONT LOTS! JENNIFER SMITH
Black Press
Policy makers and scientists planning for the future of B.C.’s water supply gathered at the University of B.C.’s Okanagan campus for a water symposium. Video conferencing with colleagues at the University of Victoria and UNBC in Prince George, the session was described as the first brainstorming venture needed to build a provincewide strategy for the
scientific community as it tries to provide the data needed to manage B.C.’s water supply. The meeting represents the first stage in plans to make good on commitments from B.C.’s water plan, Living Water Smart, in which the provincial government stated it would provide a science strategy for dealing with water. “We know we have climate change coming. We know we have uncer-
tainty about the climate and we know, in general, what the trends are going to be,” explained Bernie Bauer, UBCO professor in Earth and Environmental Sciences and member of the organizing committee. “We know there are going to be land-use changes that need to be taken into account.”

Stolen pickup trucks focus of expanded program Morning Star Staff
An auto crime prevention project is being expanded to the Okanagan, and is targeting the most stolen vehicle in B.C. – Ford F-Series trucks. ICBC’s Ford F-series immobilizer program offers a free electronic immobilizer up to the
value of $175 to owners of F250 and F350 trucks (model years 1999-2007) in Vernon. The program will also, once again, run in the Lower Mainland. “In addition to being the most stolen vehicle in our province, the average repair cost for a stolen Ford
F-Series truck is more than twice that of the average stolen vehicle in B.C.,” said Nicolas Jimenez, ICBC’s director of road safety. “Immobilizers are the best protection against auto theft – making a vehicle virtually impossible to steal – and we’re confident
this project will help continue the downward trend in auto theft.” Prior to a 2008 requirement making an immobilizer a mandatory piece of equipment in new vehicles, most F-series trucks were not protected, extremely easy to steal,
and a prime target for theft, according to ICBC. Now, ICBC is working with local retailers in the Okanagan to
offer a free, two-point electronic immobilizer to approximately 1,600 eligible customers in the highest-risk locations in the Okanagan.
Letters containing the offer and a voucher will be sent out to eligible customers in batches to minimize the impact on participating retailers.

McLeod Lake rising again
C
hief Derek Orr spoke with a new confidence when he visited the B.C. legislature last week to sign a ground-breaking deal to share provincial taxes from a mine development. Two summers ago when I met him at the McLeod Lake reserve north of Prince George, he was newly elected, looking younger than his 35 years and unused to speeches and media interviews. The prosperous logging and construction businesses the McLeod Lake Indian Band had built were struggling, and things would soon get worse. For years the nearby mill town of Mackenzie was the poster child for a declining B.C. forest industry, but now the region is back on a roll. Sawmills and the pulp mill have started up again, construction for coal mines, gas development and wind farms is booming, and for the first time, the Crown would share its mining revenues in recognition of clearly demonstrated aboriginal title. The pine beetle and the U.S.-led market collapse took its toll, Orr noted at the sign-

The federal cabinet is considering a final decision on a Crown permit for the Prosperity mine, in another logging region that will feel the effects of beetle kill for decades. At worst, the situation looks as if it could slip into another Oka or Gustafson Lake confrontation. After many years of following agonizingly slow treaty negotiations, and listening to the constant drumbeat of grievances from groups such as the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, I’m pleased to add McLeod Lake to B.C. aboriginal success stories at Westbank, Osoyoos, Klahoose, Tsawwassen, Maa-Nulth and others who have put the past behind them. Orr plans to put mining revenues in a trust fund for health, education, culture and Sekani language teaching. Sometimes putting the past behind you is the only way to preserve it.

Rookie tenders shine in shutout GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
They are both battling for the same position, and neither one is backing down. Vernon Viper netminder prospects Tyler Steel, a Vernon product, and Bryton Udy of Calgary have yet to allow a single goal in B.C. Hockey League exhibition play, including Friday night’s 3-0 shared shutout win over the Salmon Arm SilverBacks at Wesbild Centre. Neither keeper had to make a ton of saves (Udy recorded 10 stops, Steel had eight), but both were steady when called upon. “That’s what we want. We want them to make us make tough decisions,” said Vipers’ assistant coach Jason Williamson. “Neither of those two have let a goal in in exhibition, and they’re pushing Blake (Voth) and that’s what we’re looking for.” Udy, who sports an homage to Australian country music star Keith Urban on his mask, flashed some quick pads in turning aside shots destined for the bottom corner. Steel got bowled over by the SilverBacks’ Chris Hoe while making his first save of the night, and displayed a solid ability to handle the puck. The Vipers tangled with the Gorillas in their final exhibition tilt Saturday night in Salmon Arm, and head coach/GM Mark Ferner expects to make the final cuts to the training camp roster early this week. Vernon will host Salmon Arm for their season opener Friday night at Wesbild Centre. The two clubs battle again Saturday at the Sunwave Centre in Salmon Arm. Goaltending dilemma aside, Williamson said there are other tough choices to be made. “It’s part of junior hockey. That’s where you could say we earn our job, making
NATALIA VIGNOLA/MORNING STAR
Viper defenceman Stevie Weinstein goes in for Vernon’s second goal of the night against SilverBacks' netminder Kurt Williams in BCHL exhibition play Friday night at Wesbild Centre. those tough decisions. And you got to give these kids credit, they play hard,” he said. At the other end, Salmon Arm keeper Kurt Williams, the son of team owner Randy Williams, turned in a solid 27-save showing. He had no chance when the Vipers’ Pat McGillis (first star) redirected Brett Corkey’s powerplay point shot along the ice to open the scoring midway through the first period. Later in the frame, Williams robbed speedy centreman John Knisley on a breakaway with a quick glove save. A sveltelooking Bryce Kakoske set up the play with a terrific seam pass to split the SilverBack defence. While not overly impressed with the quality of play Friday night, Salmon Arm
defenceman Jayson Reardon, a Lumby native, said it is all part of the early season chemistry experiment that is junior A hockey. "Probably from both perspectives, it was pretty scrambly for both teams, but obviously both teams are going to be better (in the regular season),” he said. “Last year we were in the top four but slid out of the playoffs in the first round. The team wasn’t really into it any more, but this year it’s a new coach, a lot of new players coming in and we’re looking to get in the top-two (in the Interior).” Reardon, 20, is one of four returning d-men that Salmon Arm will count on heavily this season. Clinton Atkinson, who returned from the WHL Moose Jaw
Warriors, Josh Monk and Charlie Vasaturo are the other three. “We definitely got a big boost when Atkinson came back from Moose Jaw. With him, it just puts our top-four over the top,” said Reardon. Added Salmon Arm head coach Tim Kehler: “We don’t really have the skill like we did with (Mark) Zengerle last year, but as an overall core it will be a lot of scoring by committee.” Kehler, an assistant coach with the WHL Swift Current Broncos the last three years, is eager to build a winning culture in the SilverBack dressing room. “I still think there is an aura about coming in here and playing the Vipers. It feels like we’re down a goal even before we start and that’s a mindset that is going to have to change if we want to have some success.” Vasaturo was fortunate to get away with a boarding minor early in the first period when he ran Viper blueliner Adam Thompson awkwardly into the end boards. Thompson left the game and did not return. After a scoreless second period, Vernon got more creative offensively in the third. Kakoske, shielding the puck in the corner, worked back towards the blueline and fed a gorgeous diagonal backdoor pass to a streaking Stevie Weinstein (second star) for Vernon’s second goal at 9:38. Marcus Basara, a Notre Dame Hounds grad, finished the scoring by beating Williams’ glove with a laser wrist shot on a clear-cut breakaway. Vernon’s Colton Sparrow started the play by intercepting a Salmon Arm clearing attempt. Vernon’s newest defenceman, Elliott Richardon, earned third star. The Hanmer, Ont. product showed considerable poise on the back end despite arriving in Vernon just a few days earlier.
Heat hire full-time coaches for Canada West promotion UBC Okanagan Staff
The University of B.C. Okanagan has hired four full-time coaches for the upcoming season as the Heat continue to prepare for their inclusion into the Canada West conference in the fall of 2011. Steve Manuel, the women’s volleyball coach, will be joined as a full-time coach by Heather Semeniuk (women’s basketball) Darren Semeniuk (men’s basketball) and Greg Poitras (men’s volleyball). Director of athletics Rob Johnson is pleased to bring the coaches to the school full time. “I believe we have hired exceptional coaches to lead our teams," said Johnson. "Previously, as part-time coaches, they have worked very hard to develop programs strong enough to compete in Canada West.”
Let’s Make Cancer History! Please give generously. Canadian Cancer Society Société canadienne du cancer
The four coaches have compiled an impressive record in the five seasons since UBC Okanagan opened its doors in September, 2005. In that time, the volleyball and basketball teams have won a medal in 16 of the 19 provincial B.C. College Athletics Assiciation (BCCAA) championships attended, six of them gold. In that same span, the teams won more than three quarters of their league games. Added Johnson: “It is appropriate that their loyalty to our program be repaid with a chance to prove themselves as fulltime coaches. The combination of a UBC degree on a smaller, more intimate campus, great coaches, wonderful facilities, are all vital components in our recruiting plan.” Manuel, who has been coaching at the university for nine years, said: “Having full-time coaches will greatly benefit our

He will leave his teaching job at Kelowna Secondary. Another former employee of School District 23, Poitras will leave his post at Rutland Middle School to guide the men’s volleyball program. He has been coaching the team since the 2005-06 season, claiming national bronze last season, and silver the year before.

Perhaps the reason he hasn't been fired is money. Buono formalized an extension through the 2013 season and sounded excited about this season despite the release of more than a dozen players, combined with the retirement of five others and the loss of four more in the NFL. There were a lot of names out there I didn't recognize. Most of them couldn't tackle a mannequin. Others couldn't block a party. The Stampeders were worth watching. They are ultra talented and should be in the Grey Cup. The Lions, meanwhile, are favoured in the Slam Sports poll to sport the worst record in the CFL this season, edging the Eskimos by 18 per cent. The novelty of playing in a cozy outdoor stadium may wear off if the Leos keep losing. Attendance dipped by 2,000 for the Calgary game. Half the stadium would have left had it started raining.

Morgan shows fighting spirit with Nats Local hockey fans may remember Nyjer Morgan, recruited out of California by the Vipers' Troy Mick. Morgan ended up with the Junior B Enderby Kings and scored twice and pocketed 20 penalty minutes with the WHL Regina Pats in the 19992000 season. He then attended Walla Walla College in Washington State for baseball and was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 33rd round in 2002. He has loads of close friends here and spends a few weeks visiting Vernon each off season. Morgan, a 30-yearold outfielder with the Washington Nationals, was given an eightgame suspension for three incidents this week: charging the mound and inciting a bench-clearing brawl

KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Already surrounded by a mouth-watering smorgasbord of golf courses, Vernon's adopted 18-holer just 40 minutes from downtown is holding its own in year two of full operation. Run predominantly by Vernonites, the Canoe Creek Golf Course on the edge of Salmon Arm's industrial park is slowly becoming a destination spot for tourists checking out the OkanaganShuswap's golf course menu. "We're getting quite a few of tour groups," said associate pro Jesse Crowe, a former VSS Panther golf teamer. "A lot of people are playing Black Mountain and Tower Ranch in Kelowna, us, Talking Rock (near Chase) and Tobiano (Kamloops), and what they're telling us is we're the most playable. "The conditions are great. I'm not knocking any of those other golf courses; they're fantastic too. But as far as being able to go out there, have fun, not get too beat up but still get a challenge, our golf course is very playable." Canoe Creek is a 7,000-yard, player-friendly course designed by former PGA player Dave Barr, who has been out to play the course once this season. Hall Thomlinson, formerly GM of the Vernon Golf & Country Club, is the head pro, while the greens superintendent is another former Vernon

with the Florida Marlins on Wednesday night, taunting Marlins fans on Tuesday, and unnecessarily running into St. Louis Cardinals catcher Bryan Anderson last Saturday. The suspension will be in addition to the seven-game ban that Morgan is currently appealing for throwing a ball at a fan in the stands in Philadelphia on Aug. 21. The Nationals will probably release Morgan at the end of this season, but his roadrunner speed and defensive talents will make him attractive to some other team. He's doing all these wacky things out of character so hopefully the Nats give him a second chance.

"The golf course is in phenomenal shape. I would put our greens up against anywhere in B.C. really and the fairways are great. We're still kind of a hidden gem, I think. There's still a lot of people don't know about us and how good we are.”

Kelowna keeper feels the Rath of Kal Tire Morning Star Staff
Striker Ken Rath almost knocked out Kelowna Kickers' keeper Kelly Biffard with a corker from close range Thursday night at Marshall Field. Rath was robbed a few times by Biffard, shot wide on a few other occasions, but did beat Biffard once from five yards out as Vernon Kal Tire grounded Kelowna 2-0 in Okanagan Oldtimers 50+ Soccer League play. Rath, who missed almost a month of action, earned the Black Label Man of the Match. Ageless Tony Cheshire added an insurance tally
for his first of the season. Gordie Campbell recorded the shutout for the 16-2-2 Tiremen. The Vernon Silver Stars gained a 1-1 draw against Penticton at Beasley Park in Winfield. Penticton took the lead midway through the first half from a corner that surprised keeper Ray Tims. Big David Gould had three headers go over the bar as the Stars pressed hard. Mark Hopkins found the back of the net, taking a good cross before unleashing a shot that rebounded off the crossbar and Hopkins headed home from six yards. The Stars are 14-4-2.

A rider negotiates a man-made obstacle at an Okanagan Hare Scrambles Series event hosted by the Vernon Off Road Motor Sports Club earlier this year.
Riders ready to Scramble Morning Star Staff
Off road motor sport nuts will be heading to the hills next weekend for rounds 4 and 5 of the 2010 Okanagan Hare Scrambles Series at Becker Lake Forestry Rec Site. The event, now in its third year, is hosted by the Vernon Off Road Motorcycle Club. It starts Saturday night (7:30 p.m.) with The Night Limiter, a race where riders complete as many laps of a 10-kilometre loop as possible in a two-hour time frame. Registration begins at 5:30 p.m. Because the race takes place in the dark, club president Andrew Christiansen noted it is for advanced riders. Action continues Sunday with The Rev Limiter, which includes morning (8 a.m. registration) and afternoon (11 a.m. registration) races. The first races starts at 10 a.m. and features a 12-km loop and 90-minute time limit. The second one goes at 1 p.m. and features an 18-km loop and a 2.5-hour limit.
More than 175 riders competed in the club’s Full Throttle event this spring, which is also part of the Hare Scrambles series. “It is really growing, this series. There are a lot of races in Vernon,” said Christiansen, who notes Becker is a great area for camping with access for trailers. There will be a concession on site and there is great race viewing for spectators. Becker Lake can be accessed by following Noble Canyon Road in Lavington and turning onto Becker Lake Forestry Service Road. The event is sponsored by Banner Recreational Products, Vernon Motorsports, Valley Moto Sport, Farrer Rentals, 4 Seasons Motor Sports, Frank’s Autobody, Riders Edge, Innovative Motor Sports, Donald’s Machine Works, Kelowna Honda Powerhouse and Kelowna Yamaha. Visit www.ohssracing.com for more information, or contact Christiansen at (250) 588-7296, or e-mail: teenaandandrew@shaw.ca.
Crowe relishes pro change Continued from A25 “Sometimes people might get us confused because we're Canoe Creek and the other side of town is Canoe. Once we get them here, they love it." Crowe says customers love the friendly and swift service, and the general golf course experience. "And the course is different. It's an interesting golf course. Once you play it once, you want to come back and play it again. And once you've played it a few times, you really know where you can take advantage of certain spots and where you have to be careful so it's good in that way.” He says Canoe Creek provides a good option for tee time golfers who can't get a decent time at other courses. He says the glut of good courses is hurting everybody's numbers somewhat. "Five years ago, people were members of golf courses but still had X amount of money set aside to go play
10, or 15 rounds somewhere else during the year. People aren't doing that. If you're a member at a golf course in Alberta, you might holiday at home and play your own golf course." Crowe, who texts his buddy and PGA player Chris Baryla almost daily, feels things will turn around eventually, and that the demand for golf play is still strong. Long-range development at Canoe Creek may include housing and hotels. The club is trying to get a better access road. "It's been a great change," said the amiable Crowe, who often takes a dollar or two off his father-in-law Jeff Parker of the Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club. "It's closer to home. Having a driving range here and having 18 holes is a treat. It's helped my golf game which is awesome, and it's fun. And the big thing is I get a bit more time off so I can be with the family"

Fill lunch kits with healthy options Morning Star Staff
Packing nutritious lunches helps form life-long healthy eating habits, and balanced nutrition can help your child concentrate, retain knowledge, and be more motivated to learn. “If you find that your child’s lunch often goes uneaten, investigate why. Does their sandwich get squished in their backpack? Are they bored with apples for snacks?” said Simone Jennings, a community nutritionist with the Interior Health Authority. “Often lunches are better received when kids have been involved in planning and packing them.” To make lunch foods more appealing to kids, try reducing the portion size and increasing the variety. For example, instead of a whole sandwich, try half a sandwich with a few whole grain crackers and cheese, and some grapes or carrot sticks. If you like to bake, try making mini muffins and send two or three for a snack instead of one big one. Pack fruits and vegetables as finger foods with dip. Involve kids as much as possible when planning, preparing and packing lunches. The more pride your child has in his lunch, the more likely he is to eat it. Remember that kids are often rushed at lunch time. Lunches with nutrient dense choices, including high protein foods like beans, nuts or meat will keep kids full and will help them concentrate all afternoon. Choose foods from each of the four food groups to provide balanced nutrition. To keep lunch foods cool, freeze a small 100 per cent juice box, milk or soy milk to act as an ice pack. Here are a few more quick and healthy lunch and snack ideas:
“Are they bored with apples and snacks?” — Simone Jennings Slice pita bread into small triangles and serve with hummus for dipping Create tortilla rollups: whole grain tortillas filled with tuna, peanut butter and banana, cheese and
cucumber, or other fillings. Roll them up and slice them into two-inch pieces Put your child’s favourite sandwich filling into a small whole grain bagel Cook extra the
night before: cold chicken drumsticks, pizza or pasta are great for lunch Allow kids to ‘create their own combos’. In a container with multiple compartments put whole grain crackers, crisp bread, or pita triangles, cheese chunks or slices, sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, pickles, sliced peppers or any of the favourite cracker toppings Serve carrot, cucum-
ber or red pepper sticks with a healthy dip Slice up strawberries, blueberries, grapes or cubed melon with yogurt for dipping Pack skewers of cooked meat and cubed cheese and veggies. For more information on healthy eating and resources for childhood nutrition visit www.interiorhealth.ca and follow the Choose Health heading to the Healthy Eating page.

Riparian plants focus of session Morning Star Staff
A riparian planting workshop will be held Sept. 18. The event will run from 10 to 11 a.m. at the Coldstream municipal office, and anyone living along a creek is encouraged to attend. The workshop will include presentations by Environmental Professionals from EBA Engineering Consultants on how to plant riparian plants and riparian regulations involved in working around water. A hands-on demonstration will show participants how to plant willow stakes, shrubs and trees near water. The workshop is part of the Coldstream Creek Restoration Project, which focuses on restoring portions of the creek between Kirkland Drive and McClounie Road. Some residents living along the creek in this area have agreed to plant riparian plants along their properties to help restore bank stability and increase fisheries values. After the workshop, volunteers will commence with restoration activities on private properties and at Creekside Park. If you are interested in volunteering, contract Trina Koch, project manager, at 250-862-3026 ext 268.

Trudy Graham is proud to announce the engagement of her daughter Sarah Ann Walker to Davis Boyd Graham, both of Williams Lake. Wedding to take place Sept. 11, 2010 in Williams Lake.
Wendy Mcghghy and Dylan Grams were married March 6, 2010 at the Japanese Hall in their hometown of Vernon. The bride was given away by longtime friend Aaron Kukkola. Maid of honour was Trina Isobe and best man was Sheldon Kutcher. Also standing up for the couple were the bride’s children Jesse McGhghy and Chelsea Roszell. The 120 friends and family members in attendance, including the bride’s grandparents and the couple’s first granddaughter, came from as far away as Newfoundland, Idaho, Terrace, Dawson Creek and all over Alberta to show their support. The ceremony was followed by a champagne and dessert reception, that included a traditional Newfoundland Screeching in. Later that evening about 40 friends and family members joined the couple in Kelowna for a great night of laughter and a little mayhem at the Blueline Comedy Club. The couple will honeymoon somewhere hot to celebrate their first anniversary as long as their son Cody will let them out of his sight for a few days. Wendy and Dylan plan on remaining in Vernon and living happily ever after.

Sons raise funds for MS Society CARA BRADY
Providing the following services:
Morning Star Staff
A mother and her sons were watching TV together, an ordinary enough occurrence, but the mother has multiple schlerosis, and they were watching a show about a new treatment for MS. It started the boys thinking. “Joel looked at me and said, ‘I think we should raise some money for the MS Society so Mom could get cured.’ I was so touched,” said their mother, Lisa Kongsdorf. She had unexplained and painful symptoms for many years and was diagnosed with MS five years ago. She talked about the disease to her sons as much as she could and the family learned to live with it. Joel, seven, and Kody, nine, both students at the Vernon Christian School, talked more about what they could do to raise money for the MS Society. “I thought we could have a garage sale and sell some of our toys,” said Kody. The treatment that caught their interest was the CCSVI (chronic cerebro spinal venous insufficiency) treatment, also called the Liberation Treatment, developed by Dr. Paolo Zamboni in Italy. The treatment, which is surgery to regulate brain blood flow, has been successful in some MS patients and is being studied around the world. René Gendron, president of the Vernon MS Society, who has had MS for 34 years and Lisa Kongsdorf both volunteered to take part in a study at UBC but were not selected. They are happy to see any money being raised for the study and treatment of MS. “It’s very meaningful that children of this age could think of others and plan to do something to help,” said Gendron. Lisa added, “While it is so sweet that the

kids would want to do something for me, it’s not all about me. It’s about awareness about MS, which can be so difficult because no two people who have it are the same and it’s a disease that other people often can’t see or understand. I think this treatment is the biggest thing to happen for any medical condition since maybe prevention for polio and it should be investigated and made available for those who could benefit from it. Maybe the research into a treatment will find a cause and a way to prevent it.” Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world with 75,000 Canadians
affected and three more diagnosed with the disease every day. Joel and Kody’s garage sale grew as more and more people wanted to support it when they heard about it and it is now a general garage sale and donations of items or money to the MS Society are welcome. The MS Society Garage Sale takes place from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 11 at the Vernon Church of Christ parking lot (4107Pleasant Valley Rd., Vernon). For more information or to make a donation, call Lisa at 250-938-1175 or the MS Society office at 250-542-2241.

gram social worker, talk about what they do and what the community can do. “The children lack social skills and have memory and reasoning problems, they have short attention span and don’t understand rules. My four-year-old is very loud and restless and needs a structured routine, but he’s always happy and fun. He’s lovable,” said Carter. “I have learned to have
realistic expectations of what he can do and how we have to teach him. He will always need to have our attention and support in his life.” Donald explained that some adults are often not diagnosed with FASD. It usually affects their neurological development. People with FASD may do well on IQ tests but lack functional skills. Assessment is done by Interior Health and is free but may take as long

However different the How happy does God want us to be? means they may employ, they all strive In John 17, Jesus prays for his towards this goal.� -- Blaise Pascal followers: “I pray that they may What we all want is happiness. have the full measure of my joy Happiness is THE motivator in within them.� anything that we do.

How We often have this picture or idea of do you think Crosby himself would God being kind of solemn or uptight. have felt? Wouldn’t you love to feel that? The last thing we imagine him being is Seeing how Jesus is the happiest being in really happy. Yet the Bible describes God as one who rejoices and sings for joy, and the universe, imagine experiencing HIS joy. His joy is the best gift he can give that his joy is his people’s strength. us. It is an unshakable, indestructible, Just like us, God himself is motivated immeasurable, everlasting joy. This is by happiness. It is the reason why he crejoy unimaginable, incomprehensible, ated, and why he provides and serves. unspeakable, but real.

man of suffering and sorrow, and yet had a profound joy. It is possible to be stuck in a bad marriage, dead-end job, to have cancer, or to lose a loved one and still know deep joy. This happens not through denial, but by seeing, believing and experiencing a higher and deeper joy than even the best marriage, job, experience, vacation, possession could ever bring. It has no bounds and it never ends. It also makes sense, then, that outside of God we will never know true happiness. “God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself,� writes C.S. Lewis, “because it is not there. There is no such thing.� Or, as Pascal points out: “God alone is man’s true good, and since man abandoned him it is a strange fact that nothing in nature has been found to take his place.� True enough, you may not believe this or even believe in God, but surely we can all admit that if there was a God, his happiness, and his desiring of our happiness, would be a good thing. Do you want to be happy? I would propose that your longing for happiness is a longing for God. God as he really is and for who he really is. For those that come to him through Jesus, the promise is that we will enter his joy.

Walk brings awareness to fetal alcohol disorder Continued from page B2 “But with a proper diagnosis, early intervention and a supportive and stable development, I know of one youth who completed a trades program and is now working full time. “We have to understand that these children may be comprehending only one word in three of what is going on around them and they have to stop and think and never really catch up. I call them 10-second children in a one-second world.� Children with FASD may get into trouble of
various kinds and truly not understand why or look ahead to consequences. They need specific and often-repreatd instructions. They usually have difficulty with time, money and mathematical concepts but each individual is different. They can learn but learning must be adapted to their styles. “You have to parent differently. We treat him like he’s younger so he can succeed that way. As kids, they are great. When we adopt again, we will adopt FASD. There is a need for stable adoptive homes,� said Carter. “We are teaching our
other children why he is different and how to treat him. These children are teachable, adapt to them and they will adapt to you. He is mild-tempered and easy to please and he will find his own strengths. We really need to advocate for these children because no one else is going to do it.� Dale finds the same concrete and repetitive learning that works with younger children is also necessary with youth. She sees a need for supported housing for young people who are not eligible for many services once they are 19.
“This would not have to be a lot, just some direction and guidance and someone to turn to with questions. I would also like to see the name changed so it is not a label that blames the mothers. We want women to be aware of not drinking while they are pregnant but it’s not something women do deliberately.� The first FASD Awareness Day was celebrated on 9/9/99. This day was chosen as the ninth day of the ninth month of the year as a reminder of the nine months of pregnancy when a woman should abstain from alcohol.

Summer lovin’ continues with exciting season at Powerhouse Theatre KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
A glance at the program for this coming season at Powerhouse Theatre can’t help but prompt a certain reaction: “Wella, wella, wella, tell me more, tell me more...� That’s right, Danny, Sandy, Pinky, Rizzo, Kenickie and all the Rydell High gang are coming to the local stage when Powerhouse presents Grease. Considered the original high school musical, Grease has seen a recent resurgence this summer with the 1978 film, starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, screening to people encouraged to sing along to such iconic songs such as You’re The One That I Want, We Go Together and Greased Lightning. Powerhouse is staging the 1971 musical in which the film is based, and the enormous undertaking is already underway. Grease is the first big musical the Vernon community theatre has staged since Oliver! in 2007. “We don’t do many large-scale musicals because the royalties are always much higher than regular plays, but the artistic committee wanted a show that would attract and encourage younger people to join the theatre, and showcase some of the great singers in Vernon, and at the same time be the kind of show that appealed to an audience of all ages, in other words, a show that the whole family could enjoy,� said Sarah McLean, president of the Powerhouse Theatrical Society. “We thought of this before hearing about the sing-a-long productions that were happening, but if our audience feels like singing along, we would love it.� Written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Case, and presented by special permission of Samuel French Inc., Grease won’t be staged until
MORNING STAR FILE PHOTO
Powerhouse Theatrical Society president Sarah McLean looks forward to an exciting theatre season, which starts with Grease in December. just before Christmas so the theatre can prepare with workshops, auditions and extensive rehearsals. “A lot of October will be taken up with vocal rehearsals for those that are cast in Grease, and at the same time the costumes will start to be created and the crew will be building the set ready for rehearsals to begin in November,� said McLean. “Grease seems to fit what the theatre needs and what our audience wants.� Powerhouse will be auditioning parts for the large cast this month. The show will be under the direction of dancer, director and musical theatre star Jeff Hyslop, who played the title role in Canada’s travelling production of The Phantom of the Opera. Hyslop is appearing by permission of the Canadian Actors’ Equity Association and is the second professional director in the past few
“If our audience feels like singing along, we would love it.� — Sarah McLean years to work with Powerhouse. (Oregon’s Bruce Hostetler directed Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew two seasons ago.) Besides Grease, Powerhouse’s other two shows this season include Ken Ludwig’s Lend Me a Tenor in February and David LindsayAbaire’s Rabbit Hole in April. However, Theatre BC’s Mainstage Festival, which was supposed to be hosted by Powerhouse in July 2011, will not go on in Vernon as originally planned. The theatre executive had to
make a tough decision to cancel hosting the festival that features winning productions from each theatre zone in the province due to financial reasons, said McLean. “Due to government cutbacks to the arts, we regret that we are not able to solely finance the multi-thousand dollar event. We’re told that it will return to Kamloops again,� she said. “We are planning on hosting a oneact festival in June, which anyone may enter, but this isn’t a replacement for Mainstage.� A volunteer since 1964, McLean says her main focus is to attract new and younger blood to the theatre, and staging Grease can’t hurt. “Some of us have been there for over 30 years, and it’s time to pass the skills and expertise along, and at the same time learn from younger members with new and fresh ideas,� she said. “I do it because I love all of it. I think once you’re bitten, you just
can’t help yourself. One new member who joined last year walked in and said ‘I love this place, I love the smell.’ I think she was bitten from the moment she stepped in the front door.� One of a handful of the nearly 100 community theatres in the province which owns its own building, Powerhouse, which is celebrating its 48th anniversary this year, is run by a strong legion of volunteers. Anyone can apply to become a Powerhouse member, for a small fee, and you don’t have to have previous theatre experience to volunteer. “As a member of the Powerhouse or any theatre, you will find it to be a place where you can express yourself and be creative; by this I don’t mean on stage,� said McLean. “For instance you can be involved in how a set is decorated, or the best way to build a particular set piece, or how to construct a costume that can be changed in 15 seconds, or creating a musical score for a particular play, or learning how a special lighting effect will bring the whole production to life, and of course there’s the whole administrative side of a production, where we need people with those kind of special organizational skills.� Powerhouse is holding two member workshops this month. The first is for sound given by Randy Jones, and the other is lighting by Dave Brotsky. “These alone will take 27 hours of time for 22 members who are keen to hone their skills in these areas,� said McLean. An open reading of Grease will be held Sept. 17 at 7 p.m. for anyone interested to come and listen, followed by a three-hour musical theatre workshop with Hyslop Sept. 18, followed by nine hours of auditions. “Believe me, being a part of a team that creates something magical for the audience is the best feeling. There is nothing quite like that kind of satisfaction,� said McLean. Season’s tickets for all three Powerhouse productions are now available at the Ticket Seller box office in the Performing Arts Centre. Phone 250-549-7469 or order online at www. ticketseller.ca.

Murder runs ‘afowl’ Morning Star Staff
With fall just around the corner, someone will fall at the O’Keefe Ranch murder mystery dinner show. Last held in the spring with twosold-out shows of Murder on the BX Express, the ranch is returning with a whole new murder mystery, this time called Murder Most Fowl, which runs for two evenings, this Friday and Saturday from 6 to 9 p.m. “The Murder Mystery is entertainment and good food in one package. It’s something a bit different, and gives people a great night out with a few laughs,” said ranch manager Catherine Lord. Those who attend the show will be entertained by a cast of suspicious characters, one of whom is responsible for a gruesome murder. Two scenes will take place outside, with the final interrogation of suspects after dinner in the Cattlemen’s Club Restaurant.
The play has been written by Ken Mather, who will also be the stern sheriff that will help guests solve the murder mystery. A tantalizing meal by the Cattlemen’s Club Restaurant will be served up for the show. “This is a mystery filled with trickery and deception –– a challenge to all viewers,” said Lord. “Attendees can be as involved as they like, they will have an opportunity to question suspects, and become involved with solving the mystery.” Tickets for the murder mystery are $39.95 plus taxes for the dinner and show. Another option is to take in the entire O’Keefe Ranch experience for $45.95, which includes a tour of the ranch starting at 4 p.m. Tickets must be purchased in advance by calling the ranch at 250-542-7868 or visit okeeferanch.ca for more information.

Capsule Comments with
TOM NOLAN Smoking tobacco does not help people who have glaucoma, a condition of the eye where the pressure inside the eye rises. Smokers tend to have higher intra-ocular pressure than non-smokers. Since glaucoma can lead to blindness, if you have this condition and smoke, it is best to stop. Migraine pain is unimaginable unless you suffer from migraines. Recently, it has been found that taking 1 gram of A.S.A. with a 10 mg dose of metoclopramide often works well in controlling the pain of an acute migraine attack. That amount of A.S.A. is found in two extra strength tablets and the second medication is a prescription drug that helps reduce the nausea. Check with your doctor if this combination is right for you. Our grandparents consumed an average of 50 grams of fibre each day. Today, we consume only 13 - 15 grams. Only insoluble fibre stands in the bowel and is helpful in reducing the risk of colon cancer. If you are increasing your fibre intake, do it slowly and increase your daily fluid intake. There are many health frauds out there. Examples include cancer cures, AIDS cures, instant weight-loss cures, fraudulent sexual aids, baldness cures and false nutritional schemes. If it’s too good to be true, it probably is. Our pharmacists have access to much good information about new trends in health (both legitimate and fraudulent). If you are in doubt, we can help.

Slam poet Shane Koyczan comes to the Vernon stage Oct. 22. If his name is unfamiliar to you, think back to the Opening Ceremonies for the 2010 Winter Olympics when he tapped into a nation’s hearts and minds to emerge as the poet of his generation. Koyczan is joined on stage by Short Story Long (Olivia Mennell, Maiya Robbie, and Stefan Bienz.) Together, they create a whole new style of song and verse. Powerfully engaging and authentic in attitude, his explorations are relevant to presentday culture. Nov. 6 just might be one of the most fun-filled evenings of theatre ever. Vancouver Theatre Sports, relying on razor-sharp wit and
lightning-fast reflexes, pits two improv teams against one another for competitive matches in Scared Scriptless. Using audience suggestions to fuel scenes, teams must create totally improvised situations on the spot. A ref will slap the

Arts Rockers return to finish what they started Black Hat Villain is coming back to finish what they started when they stole the show at Vernon’s Motofest in May. Performing along with fellow B.C. acts Gob, Swollen Members and Marianas Trench at the MotoPlex Speedway and Event Park in the spring, Black Hat Villain returns with a headlining show at Vernon’s Club 2929 Sept. 12. With their debut EP, My Generation, released April 27 and mixed by legendary
engineer Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Metallica, Aerosmith) and produced by Adam Sutherland (Armchair Cynics/604 Records), the band has been causing quite a stir since its last visit here. Playing vintage rock and roll, with a hard edge, the band, featuring Tim Sweeting on drums, Ian Chisholm on bass, guitarists Abe Cox and Sam Edmundson, and canewielding vocalist Scotty Tuesday, recently made it into the top three position at this

Season will have you laughing Continued from page B9 Ted and Marion Outerbridge have carved out a magical reputation and are among Canada’s most popular touring illusionists. On Feb. 27, these masterminds will be on stage at the centre for their new show: The Time Capsule Tour. Their brilliantly entertaining performance combines illusion with dance, theatre, and day-to-day life. This interactive evening also features the creation of a time capsule by audience members –– the contents of which will have been predicted by the Outerbridges before the show even begins. And the special presentation series just wouldn’t be complete without an International Women’s Day celebration March 8. I Am Woman Hear Me Laff continues the tradition of bringing top-notch comediennes out for a riotous night of laughter and fun. Headlining this year’s event is Gemini award winner Debra DiGiovanni. It’s one of the biggest comedy events of the year and is regularly sold out – so be sure to get your tickets early for this one.

Niedballa family celebrates 50 On Sept. 10, 2010, Bodo and Gertrud Niedballa will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Bodo, a skilled typesetter, emigrated to Canada from Germany aboard the SS Arkadia in 1958. Following his dream to go west, he made his way to Fort. St. John, B.C., where the Alaska Highway News required his craft. In the autumn of 1960, Bodo flew back to Germany to propose to Gertrud. In the loving circle of their family and friends, the couple were married Sept. 10, 1960 in St. Georg’s Catholic Church, in the town where they met, Oberbruegge. Together, they returned to Canada, where their four children were born: Susanne, Martin (wife Mary), Christina and Thomas. From Fort St. John, they moved to Lillooet for seven years, and then ultimately to Vernon in 1969. Bodo worked for Wayside Printers for 28 years until his retirement; he continues to demonstrate the history of printing technology to visitors and school groups at the Vernon Museum. Gertrud, a talented seamstress by trade, created beautiful garments for clients in Fort St. John and Lillooet. In Vernon, she worked for NOYFSS for 12 years before retirement. Bodo and Gertrud have been dedicated volunteers in all of the communities where they have lived, and

Seer predicts a bridge to war PETER KENDALL Special to The Morning Star
You would never think to look at the fair city of Inverness, capital of the Scottish Highlands, that the local town council bears a grave responsibility. They were responsible for starting the Second World War(!) The Brahan Seer, was a local prophet named Coinneach Odhar in his native Gaelic tongue, who allegedly is associated with Brahan Castle in nearby Dingwall in Ross-shire. He was employed as a labourer by the third Earl of Seaforth during the mid1600s. There is some doubt about his very existence, but his prophecies have come down to our tine, much like those of the more well-known Nostradamus. He was said to have used a stone with a hole in it to see his visions. It should be noticed that his prophecies were given in direct language and not in ambiguous rhymes and references as were those of Nostradamus and others. When he made his forecast there was only one bridge over the Ness, but by 1939 there were an assortment of four –– road, foot and rail. Coinneach Odhar prophesied that
when there were five bridges over the river Ness running through the town “much bloodshed would occur” and there would be national catastrophes. Only four bridges existed until 1939 when, after much deliberation by the council, a contract was awarded in August for the fifth bridge. We all know what happened in the following September. This was not the only prophesy that he made, but it was the major one that affected events in a wider area than the Highlands. Over 200 years before the Caledonian Canal allowed a seaborne connection between the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, he prophesied that “one day ships will sail round the back of Tomnahurich Hill” (a big conical hill about three miles inland from Inverness.) He also prophesied that when there were nine bridges over the Ness there would follow a major disaster. This ninth bridge was completed in 1987 and in 1988 the Piper Alpha oil-platform fire occurred and about 170 people perished. His description in 17th century terms that this would be associated with a “one-legged fire-breathing monster from
Nigg.” The oil platform based on the oil terminal at Nigg on the Cromarty Firth burned off waste natural gas by flaring it. The Brahan Seer also forecast the Battle of Culloden in 1746, referring to the specific battle-site of Drummossie Moor, and that “black rain would bring wealth to Aberdeen.” This last was the discovery of North Sea oil. Thus his forecasts ranged from bad to good news. However, one of his last prophecies proved to be very unfortunate for him. He had foreseen in the 1600s that the Earl of Seaforth’s male line would die out with a deaf man and many of his lands would be sold when there existed four great lords each with a physical defect. This happened in 1814 when the Earl’s last surviving son, who had lost his hearing as a boy, died. But his forecast many years before so enraged Lady Seaforth that she had Coinneach killed in a particularly barbaric way. He was burnt to death in a spiked tar barrel. So you can believe it or not, but it does make one wonder. Mind you I doubt that the Brahan Seer could foresee that his “much bloodshed” would be that of 50 million people worldwide. A very costly bridge indeed.

Wine sector harvests funding Morning Star Staff
The federal government is investing in British Columbia wine and grape innovation to strengthen crops and improve growers’ economic viability and sustainability. Federal parliamentary secretary Pierre Lemieux, on behalf of Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, recently announced that the B.C. Wine Grape Council will receive up to $2.1 million to address challenges facing grape producers in B.C. by improving pest and disease measures and enhancing grape quality. “The Government of Canada recognizes that investments in agricultural research help Canadian farmers become more competitive and profitable,” said Lemieux. “Improved quality of grapes and a sustainable production cycle will help our farmers boost their bottom line.” Research will focus on enhancing the sensory and aroma qualities of grapes, and identifying new methods for the control of the two most prevalent grape pests, as well as disease management and water conservation techniques. Strong crops and a sustainable production cycle will help producers compete in the marketplace. “This support from the Government of Canada is very important in helping us to reach our goals of enhancing our sustainable practices and the overall quality of our grapes and wines,” said Hans Buchler, chairman of the B.C. Wine Grape Council. “We are very grateful for this

Some of the money will go towards pest and disease management while the rest will help enhance grape quality. funding which will help us to continue to adapt to a changing climate and changing pest and disease complexes, as well as responding to changing demands by the consuming public. “Ongoing support for research in these areas by the federal government is critical for the success of our sector.”
The grape and wine sector in B.C. has experienced tremendous growth in the last 20 years. In 2009, grape acreage measured close to 10,000 acres, with approximately 160 wineries in operation, most of them in the Okanagan. In order to remain competitive, producers are focusing on highquality products with low environ-
mental impact. This project is being funded under the Developing Innovative Agri-Products initiative, which supports industry-led science and technology projects. The initiative is part of the larger Growing Canadian AgriInnovations Program, a $158-million, five-year program that pro-
motes industry-led innovation initiatives that help get new agricultural products into the marketplace and improve agricultural processes. Ottawa says in addition, to the Agri-Innovations Program, its economic action plan supports agriculture as a core economic driver in Canada.

Community Ambassadors Kits for Kids program will help ease that burden for some.” The kits are tailored to the needs of students in individual school districts from Kindergarten through Grade 7. The ambassadors have prepared thousands of backpacks over the years, filled with binders, paper, pens, pencils, erasers, glue
sticks and other supplies, for economically disadvantaged children in schools across Canada. More than 50,000 backpacks have been distributed by the Telus Community Ambassadors in the last five years. There are 21 ambassador clubs in communities across Canada comprising more than 1,900 current, former and retired team members.

Shifting Directions – Preparing the Next Workplace features an outstanding line up of speakers and is a golden opportunity for forward-thinking business owners to gain new ideas and tools to help them prosper during the next year. “We have excellent presenters and we are pleased to be hosting this conference in our community once again this year,� said Kara Kazimer of Community Futures North Okanagan. “Being able to host the conference here in Vernon saves our business owner’s time and money by bringing quality
trainers and education to our community.� As a keynote presenter, economist Linda Nazareth will guide delegates through the maze of changing economic, financial, labour market and demographic shifts now hitting North America. She will provide a big-picture look at what remains following the worst economic downturn since the Second World War, and more importantly, where businesses can expect to be a year from now. “This keynote will help organizations to take a proactive approach to not only survive but thrive in the future,� said Kazimer.
Community Futures North Okanagan, the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce, Aspect, B.C. Human Resources Management Association, and the provincial government are partnering to present the 2010 Shifting Directions – Preparing the Next Workplace conference, scheduled for Sept. 27 and 28.

After completing the Peer Mentoring Group program, 86 per cent of participants rated their confidence levels as high in managing all the aspects of their business, as opposed to only 41 per cent at the beginning of the program. “Women understand that being part of a mentoring program can help them overcome steep learning curves and build new business skills, but

more than anything they seek mentorship to help develop their confidence, to receive guidance and support and to have a sounding board to bounce ideas off of,� says Laurel Douglas, CEO of Women’s Enterprise Centre. The mentoring groups are designed specifically to help women escape from the sense of isolation that entrepreneurship sometimes causes, and to seek support from a group of women who understand their challenges. Vernon entrepreneur Shirley Higgins will serve as the facilitator and mentor for the local group, which will meet for six two-hour sessions. Each session follows an outlined format that focuses on a specific business skill or knowledge gap, and allows the group to discuss individual challenges and potential solutions.

HUNGARY - There are no crack of dawn starts when you’re traveling with Hungary’s Vinociped’s nine-day Wine and Bike tour. The name says it all - cycling comes second. Travelling north of Europe’s largest body of freshwater, Lake Balaton, there is no emphasis on speed. However, there are a couple of things you should consider. Let’s start with the two staples of a decent day in Hungary. Naturally, it should involve pork and Palinka. Palinka is a way to fortify yourself before breakfast, lovely for lunch, a great start to dinner and does double-duty as a nightcap. Palinka, at 40 - 50% alcohol, is a uniquely Hungarian plum or apricotbased brandy. To be fair, we weren’t served Palinka at breakfast on this trip. However, we met Hungarians, young and old, who swore it was the only way to start the day. Which brings us to the other Hungarian specialty. Pork, or piggy, as in… I felt like one. As we’d already discovered by spending a few days in Budapest, Hungary is a carnivore’s dream…or an arterial nightmare. There’s nothing like a big plate of sausages served up with a side of ham. You can worry about your heart health when you get home, because while you’re here, your name is Porkahontas. By the fifth day, we’d left behind the beautiful meandering bike path near the lake to head into the Balaton Uplands; ‘up’ is the operative word. Because there are twenty of us, it takes awhile to corral everyone and get things happening but it’s nice to have a slow start and the breath to be able to idle along and chat. We cruise through villages made up of families with tractors in their driveways,

Countryside offers diversity Continued from previous page Riding on quiet roads lined with shimmering poplars we hear the birds and distant dogs. The end of August feels like the perfect time for this ride. We’re getting the last blast of summer’s heat, with temperatures ranging from 29 to 35 C, while also enjoying the first turning of the leaves. There’s time to stop and take photos of the endless fields of corn, the yards ringed with hollyhocks, oleander, roses and black-eyed susans and the endless pots of geraniums. Not to mention that the wide, smooth cycling path is dedicated to – wait for it – cyclists. Considering it’s been only twenty years since the end of the communist regime, things have progressed very quickly. Still, it’s not all wine and roses. There is no doubt that we have officially left the rolling countryside behind us. These are not extreme hills by any stretch, but the heat adds a new dimension. I amuse myself up the last slow grind by trying to count my body’s various salty tidelines. The road changes to a dusty track and we enter Gergeley Winecellar.

An outdoor oven is used to cook up wild pork, potatoes, peppers, carrots, onions and peas. Rows of grapevines plunge down from our feet towards the vista of the shimmering expanse of Lake Balaton far, far below. There is a giant’s outdoor oven redolent with smoky smells. Courtyard tables sit next to a small sloping area in deep shade from old apple trees. I want to throw myself under the dappled light of the orchard. But first? Wines await. The sweat chills on my back as we head into the dusty cool smell of
rock and the yeasty aroma of fermenting grapes. The tastings are an elixir. Back in the dazzle of the day, we gather around the outdoor oven as the lid comes off the huge trough-like roasting dish. It reveals whacks of wild pig, gargantuan ham hocks, potatoes, red peppers, carrots, onions and peas basting and mingling to create a savory blend of pork fat heaven. With greasy chins and rounded bellies,
some of us step around the old dog snoozing between the tables. Blankets are handed out. I can’t quite believe it — a bike trip with a naptime. The breeze rustles through the apple leaves. The air is a bouquet. There is the suggestion of apple, a hint of porky smoke, a redolent bottom note of earth; like a wine the gods would make of their finest August day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you are one of those who have to work today, realize that you’re likely to be receiving some kind of fair compensation. You may even sign up to do this again.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone you run into is likely to share several new ideas on how to expand your financial base. Check them all out, because each might be capable of producing substantial yields.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Of course you have to do your best, and if you do, your friends and family will do whatever they can to make sure that you finish on top. It’ll explode that old myth that good guys finish last.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Go ahead and implement several new short-range plans that you’ve been contemplating. What you hoped could be done will come about more speedily and easily than you ever thought. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- It’s quite possible that you will hear about something in the works that could benefit you financially in the weeks ahead. Be on your toes.

Your awareness of how many small parts comprise the whole will serve you well in the year ahead. By this time next year, you are likely to have pieced together a patchwork that will turn out to be quite significant and beneficial.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Being a friendly person benefits you in many ways. Because of this, a couple of people are apt to go out on a limb for you in ways they would not for others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Start letting those close to you know about an ambition that you’ve been secretly nurturing. It’s time to tell those who can help you about your needs and desires. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Those close to you socially or at work will sit up and take notice of anything you tell them about something significant you have going for you. Let them share in it if they want. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Conditions are ripe for expanding a project that is designed to produce extra benefits. Think big if you are ready to take it to a new level. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Have faith in yourself and your thinking. Any conclusion you come to is likely to be remarkably accurate, sound and farreaching, so don’t secondguess yourself.

12:00 Noon – Lunch will be provided.
A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

Moderately Confused
flyers... coming soon in the
Bridge by Phillip Alder George Burns, who enjoyed bridge a lot, said, “Retire? I’m going to stay in show business until I’m the only one left.” That gives a hint to the winning play in this deal. South has contracted to win all 13 tricks, but he has made his claim in the wrong strain. Seven clubs would have been easy: draw trumps and claim. And seven no-trump would have been all right until West found a spade lead. What should South do? To be honest, I do not know how to bid these hands. Maybe you and your partner can find a convincing sequence to seven clubs.
In this auction, South’s jump to four clubs showed good trump support. North’s four spades was a control-bid (cue-bid) indicating slam interest, promising firstround spade control and denying first-round heart control. After two doses of Blackwood, South should have bid seven clubs. Declarer must realize that if he left the dummy, he would lose some diamond tricks. But how could he stay in the dummy? There was only one winner over there at the moment: the spade ace. So he cashed that and discarded ... what? He pitched his heart
ace! Then South took dummy’s four heart winners, jettisoning those pesky club honors from his hand. Finally, he cashed dummy’s seven clubs, taking all 13 tricks by staying in the dummy.
