Jen Laventure pushes her 19-month-old twins Jeta (left) and Orian across the finish line during the 2010 CIBC Run for the Cure Sunday at Clarence Fulton Secondary School. More than 700 people came out to the event which raised a record $90,000. Visit www.vernonmorningstar.com for video coverage of the event.
Lisa Starke is one of the lucky ones – fortunate that her mother was able to beat breast cancer. “She’s been five years as of this summer,” said 27-year-old Starke, who has been participating in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure with her mom, Paula, every year since she was diagnosed. The Starke family joined more than 700 people in the 19th annual run Sunday at Clarence Fulton Secondary. The Vernon event raised a record $90,000 thanks to volunteers and support from those touched by breast cancer. Those numbers may even swell a bit as donations continue to come in. “It (Vernon’s total) will be over $100,000 by the end of the week,” said volunteer promotions and communication co-ordinator Lindsay Brennan. Many people at the event ran in memory of loved ones whose lives were taken by breast cancer. But there are also a number of survivors and their families – like the Starkes. Not only has Lisa’s mom beat breast cancer, but so have three of her aunts. “Everybody has survived.” Therefore Sunday marked a day of celebration for the Starke family, joined by their six dogs, all donning pink bandanas. Sue Beugeling is also one

Even though she’s not directly impacted, cancer has touched Beugeling’s life. She’s watched family battle different forms of cancer, worked alongside a woman who beat breast cancer and has been there for numerous friends as their families struggled with the disease. “I know people out there who have gone through it.” That’s exactly why the 30-year-old jumped at the chance to support the cause and raised close to $600 towards a cure. And seeing all the survivors and families, both those who have beat breast cancer and those who have been lost to it, is what kept Beugeling running at the
event Sunday. “It felt good to do something like that,” said Beugeling, a little sore after running five kilometres in 25 minutes. “It’s a good feeling when you’re done.” Thanks to participants like the Starkes and Beugeling, as well as thousands of dedicated volunteers, the CIBC Run for the Cure provincially raised $3.6 million. Across Canada, participants at 60 sites raised $33 million. While everyone’s contribution makes a difference, there are several key groups and one individual who were awarded for their fundraising efforts. Tara Limb took the Determination Award for the individual who raised the most donations. East Side Mario’s was the top corporate team collecting the most donations, winning them the CIBC Corporate Spirit Team Challenge Award. The New Balance Women’s Team Challenge Award for the team of women who raised the most donations went to the Bosom and Buoyant Buddies. Chix n’ Stix was awarded the Friends and Family Team Challenge Award (presented by East Side Mario’s) for the team in the community raising the most donations. October is breast cancer awareness month. For more information or to donate, visit www.cbcf.org or call the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation at 1-800-5616111.

News Residents asked to cut back on water RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Thousands of Greater Vernon residents are being urged to reduce water consumption substantially. Starting today and possibly until Oct. 18, about 35,000 people on the Kalamalka Lake system in Vernon and Coldstream have been issued a reduce water use notice because of a road construction project. “We hope it won’t take this long but so many things can go wrong,� said Al Cotsworth, North Okanagan Regional District utility manager. “If a part doesn’t fit, crews may have to bring something in.� A grid road is currently being constructed from Kalamalka to Kickwillie Loop roads in Coldstream, and a water supply main (18 inches in diameter) must be relocated. “To do that, they have to cut into it at both ends of the main and put in a new pipe,� said Cotsworth. As a result of the main being out of service, there is a concern the remaining two pipes (12 inches in diameter) won’t be able to meet customers’ needs, particularly since warm weather has led to higher demand. Residents on the Kalamalka Lake source are asked to: ■Alter automatic lawn water sprinklers to a reduced irrigation period. For instance, halving the automatic sprinkler period. ■Reduce clothes washing during the specified period of restrictions. ■Don’t wash cars at home.
MORNING STAR FILE PHOTO
Greater Vernon residents on the Kalamalka Lake water source are being asked to reduce water consumption for the next couple of weeks while a water main is replaced as part of work on Coldstream’s grid road project. ■Don’t wash paved surfaces. If voluntary water restrictions do not reduce the water use enough, mandatory restrictions will be put into place.
One option the utility could consider to ensure demand is switching some residences over to Duteau Creek, but that’s not likely.
“Duteau Creek is still on a water quality advisory. We could do that, but we would then have to issue a water quality advisory for the Kal Lake system,� said Cotsworth.

CITY OF ARMSTRONG
Prison competition grows RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Lumby has competition for a new correctional facility. Village officials have been told by Solicitor General Mike de Jong that Clearwater, northeast of Kamloops, is also interested in possibly becoming the site of a prison in the Interior. “He made it clear that if our community doesn’t want it, others do,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. “It means that if we want it, we better want it.” Council first raised the concept of a prison in May as a way of stimulating the economy. However, the proposal has been divisive among residents and council has been unclear on what direction to take. “It puts pressure on mayor and council to find out what the community actually wants to do,” said Acton of Clearwater entering the
“We still need to get our questions answered.” — Tracy Williamson process. In an attempt to determine public sentiment, the village has asked the solicitor general’s ministry for information regarding a facility, including how many jobs would be created. “We still need to get our questions answered and we still need to move forward,” said Coun. Tracy Williamson. In the past, it’s been suggested there could be 70 direct jobs associated with the facility. A facility could house about 200 inmates being remanded for custody or serving sentences of two years less a day.
A ministry representative is expected to visit Lumby at some point to look at the potential site in the industrial park. Acton says a lot of residents favour a correctional facility but they have been unwilling to speak out publicly. He says that situation must end if Lumby is to remain in the running for a prison. “If people want it, they need to stand up and get it.” The provincial government doesn’t have a deadline for a new prison in the Interior, but the earliest a business plan would be considered is part of 2011
PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
budget discussions. Virtually all facilities in the province are at capacity. “Two-thirds of the people in the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre are from the Okanagan and that wastes taxpayers’ money shipping people back and forth,” said Acton. Williamson favours a correctional facility purely from an economic standpoint. “It’s about what money and jobs can be brought into the village,” she said.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 892 of the Local Government Act, a Public Hearing will be held in the Council Chambers of the City of Armstrong, 3570 Bridge Street, Armstrong, B.C. on Tuesday, October 12, 2010 at 7:15 p.m. to hear representations on the following matters: CITY OF ARMSTRONG OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 1663 AND ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NUMBER 1662: These bylaws propose to amend the City of Armstrong Of¿cial Community Plan Bylaw No. 1231 and the City of Armstrong Zoning Bylaw No. 1268 to change the land use designation of the Canadian National and Canadian Paci¿c railway right-of-ways to transportation corridors and to zone the Canadian National and Canadian Paci¿c railway right-of-ways to a Transportation Corridor Zone (S.2). All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by these Bylaws shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the above Bylaws.

Mayor takes aim at political structure RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s mayor denies he’s pushing for amalgamation with neighbouring jurisdictions. Wayne Lippert says a single Greater Vernon municipality was not a priority while talking to Premier Gordon Campbell and other cabinet ministers at the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference in Whistler. “I’ve beat that drum before and they know how I feel about it,” he said. “I wasn’t down there to beat up on anyone.” Wayne Lippert But Lippert says he did discuss what he sees as the difficulties municipalities face when dealing with regional district electoral areas. “I believe in regional districts, but I don’t like the structure,” he said, adding that the regulations governing municipalities and rural electoral areas differ. “Municipalities work under the Community Charter and regional districts are under the Local Government Act. We need to put them all on an equal footing.” He also points out that regional districts can tax on land, building improvements or both but municipalities can’t. “Incorporate electoral areas (as separate municipalities) or amalgamate them (into existing cities). The structure doesn’t work.”
While some people may suggest that a single municipal structure may resolve some Greater Vernon disputes, Lippert insists any demands for change must come from residents of all of the jurisdictions. “Enough people are understanding the issues and it will happen on its own. I don’t need to push it,” he said.

Dear Realtor Mike, I’ve decided to buy a home. What advice do you have to offer in finding the “right” Real Estate agent to find the best property for me or to sell my home? Answer: • Find a licensed agent working full-time. • Experience and knowledge are key factors, so ensure that your Realtor® knows the market. • An agent with passion, enthusiasm and dedication will go the extra mile to get the best results for you. • Most real estate transactions today begin on the internet, so it’s important to find a techsavy agent.
• Do your homework: ask for letters of reference or names of past clients to contact for references. • Respect and trust are paramount. Communication is huge. Ask your Realtor if they will personally keep you up to date. • You will need to deal with professionals such as an insurance agent, mortgage broker, home inspector etc. The Realtor® you choose should have a network at his/her disposal. • Set up interviews with a few Realtors® and feel free to advise them that you will be meeting with others. At the interview ask as many questions as you wish and do not let high pressure tactics interfere with your decision.

The Grid Road project in Coldstream must relocate a large water supply main serving our Kalamalka Lake customers. This work must be done soon to allow paving of the road before winter. Unseasonably warm weather increased the water demand to the point where the remaining raw water mains will be stressed to provide full water supply. The utility is therefore requesting our water customers on the Kalmalka Lake system to reduce their water use, where possible, for the week starting the morning of Wednesday October 6th and ending the evening of Wednesday October 13th unless otherwise noti¿ed. This includes but is not limited to:

Lawn watering is currently the largest demand on our system. • Reducing clothes washing during the speci¿ed period of restrictions. • Home Car Washing. • Paved surfaces washing. If voluntary water restrictions do not reduce the water use enough, mandatory restrictions will be put into place. Greater Vernon Water is taking additional measures to reduce the impact of the reduced water supply, and a noti¿cation will be updated as the program progresses.

Subway raises $16,265 JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Subway’s ovens were working overtime and staff could hardly keep up as customers lined up to support the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation Friday. From opening until closing, proceeds from sales at Subway’s four Vernon locations totalled $16,265 — all of which is being donated for medical equipment in the new patient care tower. “We are really impressed with the response we had,” said Gurjit Jhajj, local Subway owner. “We were busy until the doors closed.” With extra staff and volunteers on hand, the stores managed to keep lineups moving quickly
and customers happy. “The morale was really good even though it was an exhausting, long day,” said Jhajj. Even those who had to wait didn’t seem to mind, considering the cause. The foundation is raising $7 million for

medical equipment, which will assist the emergency department, operating rooms, maternity and pediatric wards, outpatient services and a new intensive care unit in the tower. “It was really nice to be part of it,” said Jhajj.

oldstream politicians must shudder when they get another call or letter about the Kalavista boat launch. It’s dominated debate for years, tied up considerable staff time and there’s little chance of compromise between adjacent residents and boat enthusiasts. So it’s understandable that extreme measures are being considered, including restricting or banning boats on Kalamalka Lake, a primary source of drinking water for Greater Vernon. The solution, accordRichard Rolke ing to Coun. Gyula Kiss, is to use Okanagan Lake, “which is significantly bigger.” There’s no question that the ability of Okanagan Lake to handle more boats exists. Geographically, Kal is a drop in the bucket compared to its cousin on the other side of the Commonage ridge. But while Greater Vernon’s main water utility doesn’t tap into the big lake, it is a source of water for thousands in the valley, including many Okanagan Landing residents who draw from wells. Coldstream wants reduced boat traffic on Kalamalka Lake because of potential water contamination from motor fuel, garbage and the call of nature after boaters drink too much (“What goes in has to come out. I’m sure they’re not putting it back in the cans and bottles,” says Kiss). But shouldn’t those same environmental and health concerns also exist on Okanagan Lake?

Beyond water pollution, the same problem at Kalamalka Lake exists on Okanagan Lake — a limited number of launches with boaters outstripping the capacity of parking lots to keep up. Many Okanagan Landing residents and boaters know first-hand the frustration their Coldstream counterparts face during the summer. It’s also been suggested by council that the Kekuli Bay Provincial Park boat launch be expanded so vessels can ply the central and southern parts of Kalamalka Lake and avoid the north end where Greater Vernon’s water intakes are. But if traffic increases elsewhere on Kal, that still potentially jeopardizes water quality because there’s nothing preventing pollution from flowing north. And short of a shot across the bow, it would be virtually impossible to keep boaters from leaving Kekuli Bay and heading north. That means that expansion of the provincial launch wouldn’t make any difference. There are no easy solutions to the ongoing battle over the Kalavista launch, particularly because both factions — the immediate neighbours and boaters — appear unwilling to budge. It’s become an all or nothing scenario, and the attempt by some Coldstream officials to bow specifically to one group has only inflamed the situation. Ultimately, something must be done to address the conflict on Kalavista Drive, but the answer doesn’t come from sticking your head in the sand and shoving the problem on to another lake.
The fight for a cure is growing stronger every year and the recent Run for the Cure is pure proof. The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation event celebrated a record year Sunday, both nationally and locally. Greater Vernon raised $90,000 (up from $72,834 last year), contributing to the nationwide total of $33 million (up from $26.5 last year). Not only was there more money raised in the fight against breast cancer, but more people turned out to support the cause. It has touched the lives of virtually everyone, in some way. There are those who have fought the disease and unfortunately lost their battle and those who have survived. Then there are family members and friends of those directly impacted by breast cancer. And even those who aren’t directly impacted by breast cancer, are worried about it for themselves, their mothers, daughters, sisters, wives and girlfriends. Therefore it is a cause that everyone can relate to. If you assume that Greater Vernon has a population between 50,000 to 55,000, the fact that we raised close to $100,000 (the number it will likely add up to by the end of the week) is phenomenal. Aside from those who ran, raised funds or donated, there are hundreds of volunteers who make the Run for the Cure possible. Their commitment to the cause makes the event the amazing celebration that it is today. So to everyone who took part – a job well done. We are that much closer to a cure.

Support your local farmers
T
he Okanagan harvest is plentiful this year. We have the finest crops available of peaches, tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, carrots, onions, beets, apples – the quality and taste outstanding. With the preserving options of canning, freezing and drying, we can eat many of these foods year-round. Many of us support the Agricultural Land Reserve because we appreciate the beauty and lifestyle associated with rural lands. But do we actually support local agriculture? The ALR was established in the early '70s to protect farm land in B.C. for future generations. However, since then, we consumers have become more dependent on imported food than ever. By not preserving local foods and by purchasing the majority of our foods from countries without the pesticide or security regulations that B.C. demands of its farmers, we are not supporting local agriculture or the ALR. Some people say it's too expensive to buy food direct from the farmer or at the market. Fortunately, informa-
tion is becoming available showing the true cost of "cheap" food. A recent study in the U.S. tried to figure out the true cost of a 99-cent hamburger. They got to 10 times that cost and said they were a long way from being finished. Breast cancer, heart disease, obesity, and other ailments related to what we eat are plaguing the health care system, and that's expensive. The buzz word "food security" means having a secure supply of healthy, affordable, culturally appropriate food. This means we should know what is in the food we eat but we cannot know this unless we know where the food is grown, what is in
THANK YOU I am reminded once again of the kindness of strangers. I was walking my dog in the dog park and ready to leave and put my "doggie bag" into the waste container and inadvertently put in my car keys. There was no one else there. As I waited two young men were walking along the road and one of them had a cell phone. They tried to get the top off the waste container but it was padlocked down. There is a number posted there, so one of them called the city. They were directed to another number. They called that and gave all of the information. I thanked them profusely and suggested they had done all they could and that they could go on. Within a very short time, a City of Vernon truck pulled up and the two men there heard my story and had a key to unlock the top. With a shovel, they were able to somehow unearth my keys, get them out of the heap of bags and return them to me. I foolishly did not get any names but I hope the two men from the city will show this to their supervisor and know they went above and beyond the field of duty. I am so thankful and will be forever grateful Alice Marshall
the soil, and what has been put on the product during cultivation and transportation. Coldstream, Vernon and other local communities are asking how can they help support local agriculture. Let's start by getting to know the local farmers. The farmers' market directors will be working with local communities to produce maps that highlight local farms, what they produce, and at what time of year it's available. Next would be dispelling the notion of being expensive. As with coffee, tires, and T-shirts, food prices vary. Just visit your local farmers'
CIRCUS BAN Two years ago, we submitted a petition with dozens of signatures to the city. This petition was in support of a ban on circuses that use animals in their acts. We are hoping Vernon will one day join the many cities that have chosen to ban such cruelty. We disagree with Mary-Jo O'Keefe's opinion that there is an educational component to these animal acts. We see no educational benefit in these poor animals being dressed up in silly outfits and giving rides or sitting in cages. We think it would be far more educational for these children to watch Planet Earth and see them in their natural habitat. With the new generations trying to be eco-friendly and green, you would think banning animal acts would be an obvious choice. There are so many great circuses and shows we could support like Cirque du Soleil, that do not use animals. Congratulations to the protesters who made their opinions known (outside the circus). It seemed to get some response, finally. We also found it interesting that the protesters looked to be of a younger generation. This may be
market and you will see a range of prices. Think also about the quality of the food you buy, since you are what you eat. You can choose certified organic to be assured that strict guidelines have been followed around soil amendments and weed control, and locally grown means these farmers pay local taxes, send their kids to school with yours, buy their necessities in your community, and may be your neighbour. Compared to the rest of the world, we have low-priced food. In Europe, food represents 33 per cent of the family budget. In Canada, it's 12 per cent. The bottom line is, if we want to drive around and see beautiful farm land, then we have to support local agriculture with our own food dollars.

a case of the young teaching the old what is right for the future. Tina Birban and Stacy Lauman AN OFFER Recently I read a story in The Morning Star that really upset me. It was the article about the suffering of the residents in the Kalavista neighbourhood near the boat launch. It is heart-wrenching. To think that in a country like ours we still have people who have to live in fear of boaters or hear Sea Doos, or see families on the lake. When one neighbourhood suffers, the whole community suffers, therefore we need to rally together and support these residents in their time of need. So, out of the goodness of my heart, I would like to make an offer that can't be refused. I am willing to trade my house in town for one of the houses near the boat launch. That way, I can at least relieve one family from the unbearable burden of lakeshore living. Please don't call me a hero. I just have a big heart. I would like to encourage other citizens to step up to the plate and do the same. Together we can make it through this. Joel van der Molen
POLICE PRAISED Thank you to the RCMP for their handling of the big pre-grad bush bash at Proctor Lake. The RCMP showed such good judgment and judicious use of authority. Hundreds of teens from all of the high schools gathered in the bush. Anything could have gone wrong, but nothing did. The RCMP were present on the road, in and out, stopping cars and talking to the kids. A few tickets were handed out. It was so well done. Thank you so much for being there and protecting our kids.

A Vernon motorcyclist is facing a pair of serious charges in connection with an accident involving a pedestrian early Friday morning. The 50-year-old unnamed man was released from custody on a promise to appear in court at a later date to face charges of failing to remain at the scene of an accident, and dangerous operation of a vehicle causing bodily harm. Vernon RCMP continue to investigate the accident between a motorcycle and a pedestrian that happened
around 12:10 a.m. Friday at the intersection of 41st Street and Bella Vista Road. A short time before the accident, police had noticed the motorcycle in the area of 30th Street and 31st Avenue. When the officer attempted to check the driver for a motor vehicle infraction, it took off from the police. Police did not pursue the bike for safety reasons. Officers patrolling in the area of 41st Street and Bella Vista Road came across the accident involving the pedestrian and the motorcycle. Witnesses were on
the scene when police arrived. Police are trying to locate those witnesses plus a key article of clothing. “We’ve had no witnesses to the accident come forward, and we are appealing to a couple of witnesses who stopped at the crash site and left a short time later to call us,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “We are also asking anyone who located a multi-coloured motorcycle-style jacket in the area of 25th Avenue or 41st Street to contact us. We’d like to get that jacket.
We’ve searched the area but could not locate it.” Police believe the jacket belongs to the driver of the motorcycle, who may have dropped it when he left the scene of the accident. The man was arrested by police a short time after the accident, several blocks away. The 49-year-old male victim remains in hospital with multiple serious injuries. “He is in intensive care with serious breaks of his legs and internal injuries, but he’s expected to be moved out of intensive care to another ward this week,” said Molendyk
Monday. Police are continuing to investigate to determine if speed, alcohol or drugs were a factor in the accident.

A missing Vernon senior has been located on Vancouver Island. Vernon RCMP confirmed that Adrian Ledrew, 85, had been found Monday afternoon in Saanich, a Victoria
suburb, after checking himself into a hospital. Ledrew left his home at the Creekside Landing residence on Okanagan Landing Road Friday, telling people he was going to buy a Greyhound bus ticket to Victoria. RCMP confirmed
a sighting of Ledrew in Vancouver on Saturday at St. Paul’s Hospital. He is believed to have come in contact with a Vancouver City Police officer and his canine dog partner. The police officer was concerned about the man’s shortness of breath and
took him to the hospital. The officer said he was sure the man he took to hospital was Ledrew after seeing the man’s picture on a police website.

What is Water Main Flushing? The water utility flushes water mains to remove sediment and reduce the build up that accumulates in the mains. The process also helps to remove stagnant water and water that has deteriorated at dead ends. This annual process helps to improve water quality for public health. How are customers affected during Water Main Flushing? While crews are flushing in your area, you may notice a reduction in water pressure and sediment or discoloration of the water. What should customers do when Water Main Flushing occurs in their area? • Try to refrain from using water when flushing is in progress, to reduce impact on household water systems. • Customers may choose to store enough water for one day if it is considered necessary. • Should you choose to run water when water main flushing is in your area you may choose to boil or not drink the water and use a safe alternative. Water intended for the following uses should be boiled for one minute: • Drinking • Brushing teeth
• Washing fruits and vegetables • Making beverages or ice
• We strongly advise you to check your water before doing any water related household work and refrain from doing laundry. Once flushing is complete it may be necessary to run an outside tap until water clears. • Signs will be posted in most areas when flushing is in progress. Please drive carefully where operation crews are working. Greater Vernon Water is taking additional measures to reduce risk, and a notification will be updated as flushing program progresses. If you have any questions, please contact Greater Vernon Water at 250-550-3700. Contact: Renee Clark, Water Quality Manger Greater Vernon Water, RDNO E-mail: info@rdno.ca Website: www.rdno.ca

Ranch wraps up season with Cowboy Thanksgiving Morning Star Staff
O’Keefe Ranch will be putting away the horses and taking off the saddles for another season, but not without one more ride Sunday. Come on down for a Cowboy Thanksgiving from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the historic site. “We have planned a fun-filled day for families to come out and enjoy the ranch one last time before we close for the season, so bundle up in the family buggy and come on down,” said Alicia Kay, O’Keefe Ranch special events/ volunteer co-ordinator. Rates are $6 per person or $20 per family (two adults and schoolaged children). The event includes a pie baking contest (apple or pumpkin pie). Pie baking contest rules and entry forms are available at okeeferanch.ca or by contacting the ranch. “Tap into your pioneer spirit and bake some pies,” said Kay.
For those non-bakers, there will be a silent auction for the pies. “Bid on a pie, and you won’t have to worry about making your own homemade pie for Thanksgiving dinner,” said Kay. Families can come
“We have planned a fun-filled day.” — Alicia Kay out and paint/deco-
rate a pumpkin for
Halloween and enter it in the pumpkin painting contest. Families are also welcome to take their masterpieces home with them. Kids won’t find themselves short of things to do. They can spend their time making their own
Thanksgiving wreath. “And it wouldn’t be a day on the ranch without a tractor ride,” said Kay.” Free tractor rides will be available during the event, weather permitting. Those who haven’t
had an opportunity to come out to the ranch yet this year, can take in all the old favourites, including the O’Keefe Mansion, the Greenhow Museum, the model railway, the general store and visiting with the animals.

Communities cash in on infrastructure funding Morning Star Staff
Armstrong, Spallumcheen, Lumby and Coldstream have each received funding from the provincial government under the Infrastructure Planning Grant program. “Sometimes municipalities have important priorities that don’t fit into their budgets and that’s why these grants are so helpful for com-
munities as they move forward,” said Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster. Coldstream is getting $10,000 for integrated storm water analysis as the district has identified a drainage problem in Coldstream Valley Estates. The lack of an effective storm system has led to premature failure of the road base and flooding
Eric Foster
in the Coldstream neighbourhood. Lumby is also getting $10,000 to perform an evaluation of the existing sewage treatment plant in order to improve performance and plan for upgrades. Armstrong is receiving $10,000 to provide conformation of the safe yield and sustainability of the Fortune Creek water supply. The funds will allow for the preparation of a master water plan, completion of a watershed assessment and protection plan
and a risk management plan. A deteriorating water system in Spallumcheen will also benefit from $10,000 for a water collection, filtration, disinfection and delivery study. Steele Springs Waterworks District collects water which flows from several springs. Over the past several decades, the system of collection, disinfection and distribution has been deteriorating. The project involves exploring improvement options.

H1N1 suspected of morphing into seasonal flu virus CAROL ROONEY Black Press
The H1N1 virus is back, but it has transitioned into a seasonal flu. The World Health Organization (WHO) has been monitoring key signs to determine if H1N1 was “morphing” into a seasonal flu virus, which does not spread as voraciously. In an August news release, WHO declared the H1N1 influenza pandemic over, stating that many people now have immunity to the virus, and as a result, flu activity worldwide has returned to typical seasonal patterns. This does not mean the H1N1 has gone away or is any less serious, once contracted, especially to those in the high-risk categories, the press released stated. “The pandemic H1N1 strain, which was in circulation last year, continues to circulate.” Dr. Paul Hasselback, regional medical health officer for the Interior Health Authority, notes that in the southern hemisphere where flu season has begun, they are already seeing the A/H1N1 virus (known as swine flu), but it has been at low levels. He confirms that people who get the H1N1 now will be just as sick as if they had contracted it last year. “It is still the dominant, most commonly identified strain by far, compared to the other influenza strains.” The vaccine is not the same as was used last year, which unlike the normal flu vaccine, included an adjuvant, Hasselback says. “The 2010/11 trivalent inactivated vaccine (intramuscular shot) now incorporates protection against influenza type A/H1N1 and influenza types A/ H3N2 and B.” He notes people in categories for high risk of severe disease or complications include those who are aged 65 or over, or between six
months and two years of age; have chronic diseases, such as
heart or lung disease, or diabetes; live with people at risk; work
in the health industry; are Aboriginals; or are pregnant.
The vaccine is expected to be available through public health
clinics by the end of October, Hasselback says, adding it will once
again be offered free for people in risk categories.

Rapper remembers where he’s from KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Justin Nerling is ready for some face time. While the Vernon-raised MC, known by his stage name, TassNata, has been keeping rather quiet as of late, he’s actually been pretty busy making music. Nerling, who has been laying down words for more than a decade, doesn’t plan to stay silent much longer, and has some exciting plans, starting with his hometown CD release party at Moe Joe’s Night Club in Vernon Friday. Through the Internet, the rapper has connected with some of the world’s top hip hop DJs, MCs, beats masters and producers, who have all contributed to his latest album, Between Planets. And some of his songs, including Heavyweights, which was leaked on the ‘net, have already gone viral on blogs and hip hop sites in places as far as France and Germany. “I just had my album reviewed in Germany, which was nice but I couldn’t understand what they wrote. I think it was good,” laughed Nerling. “My buddy just Googled TassNata on the Internet and there are 120 pages on me now, some in languages I don’t know.” Nerling moved back to the Okanagan in 2008 after being part of the West Coast hip hop scene in Victoria and Vancouver. Home, he says, has been the best place to base his family, which now includes two young daughters. In fact, Nerling’s three-year-old girl, Maya, has already made her recording debut. She gives shout outs to all those that are part of Between Planets in the intro for the song Lullaby. “I originally wrote the song for her before she was born. I talk about what I want her to watch out for and that I will be always be there for her,” said Nerling, adding the song was produced and features vocals by Dutch hip hop artist Neenah. Nerling, who by day works as a mental health support worker, caring for a man with autism, says he has had to put a few opportunities aside now that word is getting out about his music. “It’s tough right now as I’m being offered touring dates, and had to just pass up on one in France opening up for Talib Kweli,” he said. “It’s funny, there are not as many people in my own country, except in Toronto, that know my work, but I’ve met many friends through the ‘net.” And good things do come for those who wait. Nerling is about to meet the people in Detroit, Toronto and New York who have all had something to do with Between

Justin Nerling, aka TassNata, is ready to lay out some love for his hometown with his new CD, Between Planets. The release party happens Friday at Moe Joe’s in Vernon. Planets when he tours east in the next few months. He is looking most forward to hooking up with Motor City MC Elzhi, formerly of group Slum Village, who is featured on Heavyweights along with Adam Bomb of Empire. The song was produced by Big Pops of Northern Profit and Vokab. Nerling also had the opportunity to work with Detroit’s Black Milk, one of the hottest hip hop artists out there, who raps on the song Remember, along with vocalists Promise and Liya. Also produced by Northern Profit, who have worked with Drake, UGK and Lil Wayne, the song is now a featured ringtone
contracted by MTV, and has received hundreds of blogs worldwide, including the popular site 2dopeboyz.com, and has been downloaded 15,000 times so far. Remember, where the rappers reminisce about how things were done “old school,” has also received airplay on Sirius satellite radio and other stations. “Those two have been the biggest songs on Between Planets so far,” said Nerling, adding that another track, You and Me, was produced by Grammy award winners Tone Mason, a collective from Toronto who produced American Idol winner Fantasia’s first hit single Hood Boy. Another song, Fundamentals, features Ottawa Juno award winning rapper/producer DL Incognito and French DJ Crown. “Crown sent a zipfile full of beats to me,” said Nerling. “I am looking forward to touring and meeting all these people.” But first, he wants to send a shout out to Vernon and the guys he grew up with, including fellow rapper, SonReal (Aaron Hoffman), who is featured on the song Dream (produced by local Lew Ashby.) “He was just in Toronto and has been reporting back to me,” said Nerling, who has a walk-on in SonReal’s new video for the song Who Am I. “We’ve been friends since Grade 9. We met through skateboarding and when he was in the band Burnt Roots. We’re always pushing each other to progress. We’re not in competition with each other.” Other Vernon friends such as up-and-comer Nick Brongers, who has produced beats for Drake, Eminem, Dr. Dre and Timbaland, professional freestyle skier T.J. Schiller, and the Voleurz boys (a ski video and clothing production company featuring local members) have been on the ride with TassNata. Tyler Ryckman of clothing company Survie, who sells his gear at Vernon store pop i.d., also did the art design for Between Planets, while Adam Skalzub of Dunas Skate Shop has been a major supporter, selling CDs and such. “It’s all about family,” said Nerling. “I was once asked by Hip Hop Canada, why all this talent comes from Vernon. I think it’s because people stick to what they are passionate about here. You get instant support here. I used to send my music to my friends early on, some of it was really bad, but they always said it was their favourite song even if they thought it was awful. In a small town, you get instant gratification.” Friday’s Between Planets CD release party at Moe Joe’s features TassNata with SonReal, DJ Rich-A, and drummer Robbie Beaton. Doors open at 8 p.m. and admission is $5. CDs will be available as well as Survie Clothing at the merch table.
Rocktoberfest will have you rocking Saturday Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Recreation Complex will be rocking with the third annual Rocktoberfest Saturday. The JCI (Junior Chamber International) Vernon fundraiser features two live bands, Grim Hymn and The Horrors and returning sensations Kinship, providing very different sounds. Kelowna’s Grim Hymn and the Horrors play music that is described as a mix between punk and ‘50s-influenced rockabilly (think The Cramps and The Stray Cats,) while fellow Okanagan band Kinship plays a high-energy Maritime/Celtic hybrid.
Both groups have character and are sure to impress, said JCI member Amy Markin. “Attendees will also have the opportunity to feast on perogies and bratwurst, browse the vendor booths, participate in the yodeling competition, or compete to be the last man standing,” she said, adding, “Prizes will be awarded for best costume, and the Okanagan Spring beer-pong tables will test your handeye coordination.” There is also a Rocktoberfest raffle as part of the event with the Vernon MS Society receiving half of the profits. “The Vernon MS Society and JCI Vernon have worked together to come up with fantas-
tic prizes for the raffle,” said Markin. The grand prize is a customized Rocktoberfest beach cruiser, donated by Low Joe’s Custom Cycles and Coldwell Banker. Second prize is a night’s stay at the South Thompson Inn and Conference Centre in Kamloops and a round of golf for two at Rivershore Golf Links. “The Rocktoberfest committee is very thankful for the sponsors that make this brilliant and upbeat event possible: Okanagan Spring Brewery, Sun FM and Palm Bay,” said Markin. “A special JCI senate area will feature furnishings donated by City Furniture Appliances
and Electronics.” Tickets for Saturday’s event are available for $20 in advance at Illusions Hair & Body, Sun FM, the Bean Scene and Helmut’s Sausage Kitchen, or $25 at the door. All tickets include a meal of Bavarian sausage and perogies. Doors open at 6 p.m. at the Vernon Recreation Complex auditorium. Rocktoberfest is a fundraiser for the Vernon JCI chapter, which offers training opportunities to its members, as well as hosting events that give back to the community. More information on JCI Vernon can be found at www.jcivernon.com.

Rising star raises the rafters DVOIRA YANOVSKY Vernon Jazz Society
If you love sultry vintage jazz vocals, be sure to catch rising star Jackée Guillou and her quartet at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. Guillou’s fresh, intimate style is an ideal match for her sophisticated repertoire which includes songs such as Duke Ellington’s Just Squeeze Me, Cole Porter’s My Heart Belongs to Daddy, and the sensual Besame Mucho. Guillou will also include some new arrangements of Canadian popular music by such artists as Rufus Wainwright, Ron Sexsmith, and Joni Mitchell, as well as some original compositions. Winner of the 2009 CBC Galaxie Rising Star Award, Guillou is influenced by jazz masters past and present. “My influences range from jazz greats Sarah Vaughan and Julie London to present-day jazz vocalists Diane Reeves and Jane Monheit,” said Guillou. “I’ve recently been quite influenced by Nancy King, recognized as the world’s greatest jazz singer.” Guillou also embraces influences from other genres, including pop and folk. “I like to consider that my musical style resembles my personality: rhythmic, romantic, and spiritual with a passion for storytelling.” Guillou was already a professional performer working in large-scale musicals in Vancouver and Toronto when she first became attracted to jazz. “I became interested in jazz music about five years ago. I had started listening to radio programs that featured world music, jazz, and folk, and wanted to

I loved the freedom and the ability behind the music – you could take a song and put your own spin on it.” With three CDs behind her, including the 2009 release Live @ The Firehall Centre For The Arts, Guillou is recording a new album featuring half original material and half jazz standards, looking at a winter/spring release date. Vernon’s gig is the third stop on Guillou’s tour of B.C. Other recent shows include sold-out performances at Vancouver’s Cellar Jazz Club, a benefit concert
for NOW Canada at the Kelowna Community Theatre, and the 2010 Vancouver Jazz Festival. Performing with Guillou is Victor Noriega on piano, Michael Rush on double bass, and drummer Julian MacDonough. Born in Vancouver, raised in Portland and Seattle, Noriega has been a professional pianist since he was a teenager. A brilliant modern jazz pianist and composer, Noriega is an important contributor to the jazz world, recently receiving a grant from Jack Straw Productions for a collaborative project with avant-garde pianist Gust Burns entitled 2 Trios. An accomplished double bassist and composer/arranger, Rush is versatile in a variety of genres including jazz, blues, salsa, rock, and folk. He has performed with an impressive roster of artists such as Dan Brubeck, Randy Porter, Mike Allen, Brad Turner, and The Miles Black Trio. His own project, Queso Blanco, was nominated for a 2009 CBC Galaxie Rising Star Award. MacDonough is a member of the Mike Allen Quartet, which appeared at the Vernon Jazz Club in June. His work as a freelance drummer takes him up and down the West Coast and into the recording studio, performing on more than 40 CDs, including Allen’s awarding-winning Dialectic. The Jackée Guillou Quartet is at the Vernon Jazz Club, 3000 31st St. (above Nolan’s), Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. Tickets are $20 (non-members), $15 (members), available in advance at the Bean Scene and Bean to Cup.
Artist speaks about technology at UBCO K E L O W N A — Electronic folk artist Diana Burgoyne will speak at UBC’s Okanagan campus Thursday. Burgoyne is a visual artist who has worked with technology since 1982. A common theme in her work is the relationship between society, technology, and environment. Her performances and installations have been exhibited in Montreal, Toronto, New York, France, Holland, and Estonia. She was commissioned by Telus Science World to collaborate on a permanent piece which is exhibited as part of Contraption Corner. Burgoyne has been the artist in residence at the Surrey Art Gallery’s
Tech Lab, participated in SCANZ in New Zealand and has just finished working on a work entitled Audio Quilt as artist in residence at the Roundhouse Community Centre. Audio Quilt is an inter-
active installation that reflects the sounds and voices of the Roundhouse community by utilizing 100 audio chips, each recording 10 seconds of sound. Thursday’s talk starts at noon in the Fine Arts
building FIN227. The presentation is free and open to the public, and is made possible by the Canada Council for the Arts. For more information, contact the Department of Creative Studies at 250807-9648.

Call and respond to modern dance
W
ith today’s modern communication, never before has it been so easy to inform friends and family as to your whereabouts and activities. Facebook status updates, Twitter tweets to friends, texting… I can so easily let most of cyber space know that “Madeleine Shaw is… writing her column.” It is this modern hypercommunication that has piqued the interest of a talented, Vancouverbased dance company Madeleine Shaw called The 605 Collective who, together with a second modern dance company, The Response, will be touring B.C. this fall in the twopart dance spectacle, Double Bill. The first half of Double Bill, which stages at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Oct. 13, features an excerpt from The 605 Collective’s show Audible. The modern and hip-hop dance company explores the question and consequences of hyper-communication through high-flying dives, jumps, and collisions. “We were feeling frustrated with and wanted to explore the situation of knowing what everyone is up to, but not really knowing (how they are,)” said Josh Martin, dancer and co-choreographer of The 605 Collective when explaining the inspiration behind his show. “Communication is getting easier but it is not quite the same thing.” Martin’s and my initial communication was a perfect example, we agreed. After a number of back-andforth emails, I scheduled a phone interview with the busy performer currently on tour in the Yukon. As if to run his message home, Martin’s cell phone connection was lost at that moment and there was a brief, awkward pause when we could not hear each other. What’s missing in contemporary communication is expressed through the extreme athleticism of The 605
DANCE BEAT
Collective. “(The performers) are heaving ourselves through the air, trying to make that physical connective but never quite making it,” explained Martin. The second half of the show delivers an intimate duet, an excerpt from The Response’s Hero & Heroine. Founder Amber Funk Barton, herself a trained classical ballerina, established The Response as a contemporary dance company but describes her work as “athletic hybrid movement.” Barton is quickly establishing a reputation in the modern dance community for her innovative and engaging work. As the sole choreographer, her vision for the company’s pieces are clear. Hero & Heroine explores the different relationships between a man and woman, relationships that are both complex and engaging, intimate and isolating. Like a modern piece of fine art, modern dance challenges the audience with its various possible interpretations. “The piece definitely goes on a bit of a ride,” said Martin, who performs the male role to Barton’s female lead. Members from both companies are trained in a variety of dance genres, including ballet, jazz, tap, Capoeira, and circus arts. Both troupes take inspiration from contemporary and hip-hop dance to tell a story in ways that blur the line between art and entertainment. And entertaining, it promises to be. For those with a passion for dance, Double Bill provides a glimpse into the cutting edge of modern dance, a genre of movement that continually pushes the boundary of human creativity. For those with limited dance experience, Double Bill will leave you breathless thanks to its pure athleticism. As Martin explained: “We’re sweating buckets.” For more information or to purchase tickets, contact Ticket Seller at 250-549-SHOW (7469). Editor’s note: Madeleine Shaw is the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre’s new dance outreach coordinator.

Make Silver Star Your
Cadet sails to top honour Morning Star Staff
Sea cadet Cody Williamson of Vernon sailed to a gold medal finish at the Royal Victoria Yacht Club’s recent Fall Dinghy Regatta. Racing against youth from four other yacht clubs, Williamson and his crew, Quinn Lessing of Port Moody, topped the 13-boat, 420-fleet with 17 points overall. The sea cadet sailors battled through light winds and fog throughout the event, making the competition a game of concentration and tactics. Williamson and Lessing were awarded first place medals and were also presented the inaugural Navy Centennial Cup in honour of the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Navy. Rear-Admiral Nigel Greenwood, commander of the maritime forces Pacific, presented the award to the two petty officers. “As a former sea cadet myself, I was very pleased to see the high caliber of competitive sailing and am pleased to be able to present the Navy Centennial Cup for the first time,” said Greenwood. Williamson finished second at the National Sea Cadet Regatta in August in Kingston, Ont. B.C. Sea Cadets are always looking for new members to join their team. For more information, call 1-800-661-8733 or visit www.cadets.ca.

A busy summer ends arliament has resumed and I am eager to participate in this fall’s hectic session. This summer was very eventful. I made a number of trips across the Southern Interior as well as having the privilege of representing Diane Finley, minister of human resources and skills development, in my old stomping grounds of the Yukon. In the Southern Interior, I represented Environment Minister Jim Prentice at the unveiling of a plaque designating the Japanese Interment Memorial in New Denver as a national historic site.

region were taking ownership of the planning, development and construction of aboriginal housing. The results were not only impressive but also a testimony to how our government is enabling First Nations to be partners in projects rather than warrants of the state. The summer ended with the Interior Provincial Exhibition in Armstrong and the Salmon Arm Fall Fair. Both events were, as always, a great time for family and friends. The one and only problem I had with summer was it went by too fast. Now back in Ottawa, I will once again start up my weekly columns to keep you, my constituents, abreast of what is happening on Parliament Hill.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) The methods to achieve an unusual objective you establish could be untested, complicated and turn out to be far more troublesome than you bargained for. Try to be practical.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) There may be many times when it is OK to experiment a bit with taking some shortcuts or making some new innovations. However, if you see that it’s not one of those times, stick to proven methods.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Most legal documents have many complicated clauses and should be read very carefully and thoroughly. Don’t affix your signature to anything that you don’t understand or of which you are dubious.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) A loss of respect and acceptance is possible if you are thoughtless or rude when dealing with your pals. Be extra mindful about your social graces when involved in activities with friends.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Unless you are extremely careful and guarded when it comes to financial matters, you could get drawn into something for which you’ll be held accountable for any losses that ensue.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Take care not to be overly controlling with someone who looks to you for guidance and encouragement. Your wellintentioned efforts might hinder this person’s personality instead of helping.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Independence can be an admirable trait, but it shouldn’t be applied to a situation that requires teamwork and lots of cooperation. Be willing to bend a bit when it comes to the needs at hand.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Just because someone is particularly knowledgeable in one specific area, it doesn’t make him/her an expert in all other fields. Be discerning about what advice to take seriously. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Although you’re not apt to be careless with your resources or prized possessions, there is a possibility that someone you believe to be OK is not trustworthy. Don’t get taken. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Try not to be too dependent on someone whom you really don’t know too well. There’s a possibility that you’ll think this person is in your corner, but looks can be deceiving. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Before taking on any favors for another, be conscious of the complexities of the burden you’re assuming. Once you get into things, you might find yourself in over your head. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If you find someone within your inner circle of associates to be extremely difficult to get along with, watch your step. If you cross swords, things could easily get out of hand.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

4607 34th Street Vernon • 250-542-1975 Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder Nido Qubein, a motivational speaker and president of High Point University, said, “Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets.” That applies at the bridge table, where your target after the auction has finished is to make or break the contract. (Yes, if you are playing in a matchpointed duplicate, your target is often different, worrying about the overtricks; but let’s not concern ourselves with that now.) On defense, just keep asking yourself where you will get the tricks you need to defeat declarer. East did not do that in this deal. After South opened two no-trump, North used
Stayman, found a 4-4 heart fit, and raised to that game. West, with an unappealing lead, selected a trump. (Yes, a spade would have been much better.) South took East’s queen with his king, cashed his heart jack, played a trump to dummy’s ace (West discarding a low spade), and called for the club 10. East’s diamond discard was a blow. Declarer won with his ace, played off the ace-king of spades, and exited with a club. West won with his queen, cashed the club king, and exited with his last club. South took that trick in the dummy, cashed the 13th club, discarding his diamond eight, and called for a diamond. Did he play the jack and
go down, or the king and make his contract? We will never know. East, who should have realized that his side had to take two diamond tricks, had discarded down to a singleton diamond ace. Do you think declarer could have done better? Tune in tomorrow.

Above, world champion Kevin Koe of Edmonton delivers a rock in the men’s final Monday. Privivkova lost to Cheryl Bernard in the women’s final, while Koe iced Andrey Drozdov of Russia in the men’s final.
Koe, Bernard rule Classic field KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Kevin Koe was just an 18-year-old from Yellowknife when he surprised the curling scene by winning the Vernon Cashspiel the first year cars were not awarded to the champions. At 35, he is the defending world champion and the first skip to claim the Twin Anchors Houseboats Curling Classic back-to-back years since Bob Ursel did it in 2007-08. Koe, who just moved to Calgary from Grande Prairie but plays out of the Saville Sports Club in Edmonton, brushed back Russian Andrey Drozdov 5-2 in Monday’s final of the $72,000 extravaganza. “I love coming here,� beamed Koe, who missed his 6 p.m. flight out of Kelowna. A landman for Talisman Energy, Koe had lots of gas left to stop the upstart Russians, who had earlier defeated Canadian-Russian skip Jason Gunnlaugson in preliminary play. “We played them last year and the year before and they’ve improved a lot and it looked like they were playing awesome this weekend,� said Koe. “They’re going to be a good team.� Koe, supported by third Blake McDonald and frontenders Carter Rycroft and Nolan Thiessen, pocketed $8,000.
Drozdov earned $6,000. “The first three-ender obviously was a big one and got us the deuce (two-point cushion. We’re usually pretty good with the lead and we were pretty good at staying out of trouble this game. No major hiccups. We got on a good run there yesterday.� Koe slammed Vernon’s Jim Cotter 8-2, while Drozdov clipped Rick Folk of Kelowna 4-3 in Monday’s semifinals. In the quarters, Koe iced Mike McEwen of Winnipeg 5-1, Drozdoz outlasted Vernon’s Aaron Herrick 8-7, Folk upended Steve Petryk of Calgary 6-4 and Cotter defeated Bryan Miki of New Westminster 7-4. Folk and Cotter both collected $4,500, while the four losing quarterfinalists all earned $3,500. Koe would love to spend part of next March in London, Ont. for the Tim Hortons Brier. “It’d be nice to get to another Brier for sure and try and defend our title but we live in a tough spot,� he said. “Other than that, no real goals but it’s always nice to come out and win some tournaments. You never know when the next one’s gonna be.� Koe and company, who jumpstarted their season in Vernon, will compete in the $80,000 Westcoast Curling Classic this weekend in New Westminster.

Drozdov, a 22-year-old university student out of Moscow, was ecstatic being in the final of the 24-rink spiel. “We were surprised,� he said in broken English. “It’s a big step for us. It’s first time. We’re very happy. They are good curlers, world champions.� Olympic silver medalist Cheryl Bernard of Calgary iced Russia’s Liudmila Privivkova 4-2 Sunday afternoon in the women’s final. It was the third time in seven years Bernard has won the cashspiel. She and teammates Susan O’Connor, Carolyn Darbyshire and Cori Morris pocketed $7,500. The everimproving Russians earned $4,500. There was a field of 24. “We struggled a little bit in our last one (missed playoffs in Edmonton cashspiel) so we did a lot of work at a training camp last weekend and it kind of feels like we’ve got room to improve but we’re getting there,� said O’Connor. Added Bernard, who accepted the cheque from sponsor Scott Kyllo and then bolted for Kelowna to catch a 6 p.m. flight: “We needed to do it and it felt good doing it. It was a nice start to the season.� Bernard, a 45-year-old insurance broker, gave up singles in the first and fourth ends before recording a deuce in five and swiping singles in six and seven.

Robinson shows Vipers the way Morning Star Staff
After a horrid 4-2 loss to the Cowichan Valley Capitals Saturday night, the Vernon Vipers returned to some sense of normalcy Sunday in a 4-3 overtime matinee win over the last-place Merritt Centennials. Head coach/GM Mark Ferner, fully aware of how fragile his young B.C. Hockey League bunch are at 5-4-0-2, gave a state-of-the-Snakes address after the Vipers lost to lowly Cowichan. “We can deal with losses when the effort is there, but when there’s no effort, I have a problem,” said Ferner. “We were pretty selfish Saturday night. You can’t blame the young guys because when the veterans are trying to do it by themselves, the young guys will do it too.” The Vipers gave up more turnovers than Sweet Caroline’s Bakery in pretty much gift-wrapping two points to the Caps, who are so disorganized they were forced to borrow minor hockey jerseys the night before in Penticton (lost 7-3 to the Vees) since they left their own jerseys in Trail. Ferner wasn’t sure if Friday’s emotionally-charged 3-2 double OT loss in Trail left the Vipers weary against the Caps, but he says “we need to be better from the goalie out.” The Smokies were rocked 9-1 by the Westside Warriors Saturday night. The Warriors, who beat Cowichan 5-2 Sunday afternoon, host the Vipers Friday night with the same two teams back here Saturday night. Vernon hosts the Quesnel Millionaires (3-5) tonight. The Vipers outshot the Caps 41-26 and went 2-for-9 on the powerplay as goalie Derek Dun made several big stops for 3-7 Cowichan, who have been averaging almost five goals against a game. Rookie Bryton Udy took the loss. It was 2-2 after 40 minutes before Mike Hammond and Troy Paterson scored 3:01 apart to give Cowichan its first win in Vernon in decades. Austin Evans and Chase Kaiser staked the Caps to a 2-0 lead after a snoozer of a first period. John Knisley and d-man Adam Thompson equalized with goals nine minutes apart. Caps’ d-man Darin Robak, who helped the Vipers win the Royal Bank Cup last year, logged loads of minutes and was steady all night. Ex-Viper Nick Amies is out with a concussion.
“I told the guys that Vernon has a good transition game and I thought we played them well,” said Robak. “Things are going great for me. Dale (head coach Purinton) is pretty much treating me like a king so I’m very happy.” Vernon sorely missed their captain David Robinson, who was attending his brother’s wedding. Robinson led by example Sunday, scoring twice, including the winner. The Cents (1-8-0-1) were looking to upset the Vipers in OT for the second straight week after taking period leads of 1-0 and 3-2 on goals by Max Vallis (2) and Regan Soquila. “We kept battling and it was a good win for us,” said Ferner. “David won a battle for the puck in front of the net and scored on a backhander. That’s just him. A lot of guys think they’re working hard, but we know we’re going to get hard work every night from David.” Ferner stacked his top line with leading scorer Dylan Walchuk (7-512), Bryce Kakoske and first star Robinson, and the line clicked. Kakoske and Mark Basara rounded out the offence with Thompson supplying two assists. Viper blueliner Malcolm Lyles earned third star. Vernon outshot Merritt 31-18 with Blake Voth pocketing the win and Jared Andersen the loss. The Vipers are fourth in the Interior Conference, two points back of Penticton and four back of the Smokies (8-4) and Salmon Arm SilverBacks (8-2). Vernon product Riley Spraggs sniped his first BCHL goal Saturday night in the Prince George Spruce Kings’ 9-5 loss to the Surrey Eagles. The Kings fell to 2-7-0-2, tied with Quesnel for sixth place. Alex Grieve of the Warriors is the Player-of-the-Week. The 20-year old captain scored once and assisted on four other goals in the 9-1 victory over Trail. Less than 24 hours later, he recorded 3+1 in the win over Cowichan Valley. The SilverBacks are rated No. 9 in the Canadian Junior A Hockey League rankings this week. The Langley Chiefs, who lead the Coastal Conference at 7-1-0-2, come in at No. 11. Leading the poll are the Markham Waxers of Ontario, followed by the Humboldt Broncos of Saskatchewan.

Fulton, VSS go big for football glory Morning Star Staff
The Fulton Maroons grounded the Okanagan Mission Huskies 42-28 in their Southern Interior Senior AA High School Football League season opener Saturday night at the Apple Bowl. The Maroons, who built up a 30-14 halftime lead, added a solid passing game to their already stellar running arsenal. Dalton Anderson scored on an electrifying 90-yard kick-off return and added an 11-yard rushing touchdown. “Dalton was a force for us in all three phases of the game,” said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. “He played awesome. He crunched people on blocks, ran very tough, and collapsed the pocket when blitzing. The coaches were really happy with his toughness all game.” Greg Hyde caught 34- and 18-yard TD receptions from Ben Olson, while Kris Davidson scored on a five-yard run and Kyle Richardson supplied a three-yard TD. Anderson had three two-point conversions. Olson completed nine of 13 passes for 119 yards, while Davidson carried 27 times for 191 yards and Anderson ran the ball 10 times for 72 yards and Olson kept the ball six times for 36 yards. Hyde made six catches for 102 yards, while Cole Lawrie had one 11-yard grab.

On defence, Richardson recorded nine tackles, Anderson registered seven, Mike Ochoa earned five, Davidson had three and Matt Kane two. Hyde pocketed a 26-yard pick. “I believe we won the physical battle, and therefore the game,” added Scheller. “OKM has won our league the past two seasons, and defeated us the past two seasons, so we were happy to get a win against a very good program.” Scheller credited the Maroons’ offensive line with a fabulous showing.

Mustangs ice Blazers Morning Star Staff
The Watkins Motors Mustangs brushed back the Kamloops Jardine’s Blazers 4-3 in Okanagan Mainline Pee Wee Tier 1 Hockey League action Sunday at Priest Valley Arena. In a solid team effort, the Mustangs worked hard from start to finish with Josh Evans making some excellent and timely saves in the Mustangs’ season opener. Jagger Williamson led the Mustangs with one goal and two assists. Other goals came from Josh DeCoffe, Noah Turanski, and Carson Grey, with assists going to Connor Johnston, Kaden Black, Michael LeNoury, Matt Kowalski, Mac Gourdine and Jarrett Campbell. The Mustangs head to Richmond for the Seafair tournament this weekend. Goaltender Danny Todosychuk was busy and often brilliant in the Vernon Home Building Centre Midget Tier 1 Vipers’ home opener Saturday night at Civic Arena. Pursuit of Excellence put 56 shots on net in a 6-1 victory over Vernon, but Todosychuk kept the Vipers in the game with numerous great saves as they trailed by 1-0 and 2-0 scores at the period breaks. The Vipers only registered 16 shots but had their chances against the fast-skating POE with Ryan Scheidt breaking the shutout attempt in the third period on a pass from Trevor Pickett. Former Vernon minor hockey product Cole Sanford scored a top-shelf marker for POE and added two helpers. Former Vernon Vipers coach Troy Mick was behind the bench for POE. The Vipers are off to Richmond for the Seafair tournament starting Friday. They are in a pool with Juan de Fuca, Comox Valley and Seafair. Jim Armstrong’s crew goes up against Seafair Friday at 4:30 and then meet Comox Valley Saturday morning at 10:45. The Vipers meet Juan de Fuca Saturday night at 7:15. Vernon’s Alex Gillies (2) and Jedd Soleway scored as the Okanagan Rockets fell 6-3 to the Kootenay Ice in Major Midget play in Nelson.
Renegades drop pair in Bantam Tier 1 The Royal LePage Renegades opened the Bantam Tier 1 season by falling 6-2 to Westside and losing 12-1 to Pursuit of Excellence. Coach Todd Richards commended the play of goalie Tyler Landry in the loss to Westside. Dennon Leibel, assisted by Cole Woodliffe, and Curtis Sexsmith from Austin Garrington, accounted for the Renegade offence. Don Robinson scored for Vernon against POE, who got one goal from Vernon product Spencer Hewson. The Vernon Machine Bantam AA Vipers opened regular season play with a 13-2 loss to Kelowna in Rutland on Friday night. Jorden Dewing (unassisted) and Jeff Bochon (from Richard Thompson) tallied for the Vipers. Goaltender Dustin Beckner faced more than 60
shots in the loss. On Saturday morning, Vernon bowed 7-2 to Pursuit of Excellence at the Wesbild Centre. The Vipers trailed 3-0 and 6-0 by period scores before Brendan Zupp (unassisted) and Jeff Bochon (from Thompson and Scott Latwat) scored for Vernon. Jake Desilets played a strong game in goal for the Snakes.
Thrashers lose to Silvertips Vernon’s Nixon Wenger Thrashers opened the Pee Wee Tier 2 regular season with a 6-1 loss to Salmon Arm Chevy’s Silvertips Saturday afternoon at Civic Arena. It was a close game until the bigger Salmon Arm team used their size and hustle to wear down the Thrashers. Coach Bernie Pimm was out of town so Sandy Moger was behind the bench. He said the team played well but need to work on playing hard for a full 60 minutes. Goaltending duties were split between birthday boy Jake Holland (23 saves) and Shane Meadahl (18 saves). It was 2-1 Salmon Arm at the break with Holland showing acrobatics with the Silvertips pressing and crashing the net hard. The lone Vernon goal was scored by Jason Shaigec with assists going to Seth Blundell and Kyle Sherwood. The Thrashers are in the Abbotsford Thanksgiving Weekend Tournament.

Marauders Max it out Morning Star Staff
Max Chapman scampered for 285 yards and three touchdowns as the Vernon Marauders tamed the Kamloops Wildcats 38-7 in Southern Interior Junior Bantam Football League play Sunday at Grahame Park. The Wildcats scored on their opening drive and pretty well dominated the Marauders for the first quarter. Then, it was the Chapman show as he broke loose for his first TD with a 51-yard off-tackle scramble to spark the Marauder offence. Zack Kronbauer recovered the kick-off to set up Chapman’s second TD five minutes later. His third TD came on the opening play of the third quarter with Chapman taking the ball back 97 yards for the score. Later, Kronbauer recovered the kick off to set up his own 34-yard TD run. Early in the fourth quarter, quarterback Brandon Isaac called his own number for a one-yard dive and his first TD of the year. Trey Isaac was 4-for-5 in kicked converts to round out the scoring as the Marauders went to 4-1. “Excellent blocking by wide outs Carter Weir and Zack Hyer as well as linemen Jordan Taylor, Zack Barton, Jett Carey, Carson Labrecque, Mariah Klein and Jakob Laflamme-Yonkman made their teammates’ scoring drives possible,” said O line coach Cid Plouffe. On defence, Levi Nicholas, Mack Henry, and Brayden Wiebe each recorded five tackles to stifle the Wildcat outside runs while Nyla McPherson, Connor Forrest, Nolan Wessels, Bryce Sorensen and
Hayden McLean plugged up the middle. “Other than the first quarter, the boys played good solid ball, “said D coach Andy Stephansson. The Marauders face the second-place Kelowna Lions Sunday, noon, at Grahame Park. In Midget action, the Vernon Magnums rolled in to Penticton and steamrolled out with a 62-0 win, leaving them at 4-0. The “Mad Dog Defense” once again was a very dominant force, allowing Penticton very few positive yards all day. Linebacker Jonathan Roy recovered two fumble recoveries and Bryce Barker intercepted a pass and ran the ball 35 yards in to the end zone. Keenan Jespersen executed a brilliant blitz to sack the Penticton quarterback for a 25-yard loss. The Magnums’ Mad Dog defensive line of Taylor Jameson, Victor Hubscher, Dustyn Schubert and Dan Vassberg continually ran roughshod over the Penticton offensive line. Hayden Jones rambled in for three touchdowns, Myles Stinson scored twice on pass/run plays and Barker took the ball in for his first offensive TD of the game. Barker also converted six of Vernon’s scores. “The offensive line of Zac Warner, Taylor Jameson and Skyler Mobey shut down Penticton’s defensive line and secondary which allowed Vernon quarterbacks Jespersen and game MVP Kyle OlsenBrown to orchestrate a highly effective aerial and running attack that included a touchdown each,” said Vernon head coach Bill (Lumpy) Tarr.

Unfortunately for Vernon, they left the ball inside the Kamloops 20-yard line three times. Defensive players Tyler Braun, Issac Olsen, Keith Jones and Josh Hyer kept the Wildcats penned in their own zone. It was scoreless after three quarters. Kamloops took the ball at the start of the fourth quarter and marched down the field 77 yards for the first points of the game with three minutes left. On the second play of the Jackets’ next drive, tight end Josh Hyer took an end around 50 yards for the score. Morgan Nichols followed up with his first convert of the year. The ensuing kickoff by Vernon was recovered by Weston Vanderveen securing the Yellow Jackets’ third win
of the year. Head coach Ed Huber praised the defensive squad for playing a rough and tough game, outlasting the bigger Kamloops team in the fourth quarter. “The offensive line consisting of Taylor Pelletier, Jeff Estrada, Miles Forrest, Issac Olsen and Reid Mckenzie did a great job holding back the very aggressive defensive front of Kamloops,” said Huber. “Most importantly, the boy were able to come from behind and come away with a win from a very good Kamloops team.” In Atom play, Tristen Baker recorded two touchdowns in the Vernon Blue Bombers’ 18-14 loss to Kamloops at Grahame Park. Bomber coach Jeff Anderson said Ethan Anderson and Trey Winstanley had great games running the football against a good Kamloops defence. Zachary Smith completed another onside kick to start the game and went 1-for-2 on extra points. “The defence played well all game and standing out was the strong play of Kayden Doughty, Quinn Williamson and Mathew Reich,” said Anderson.
Killer fires up Canucks Morning Star Staff
Troy Killingbeck scored twice and set up three others as the Teale Utility Canucks mauled Moe Joe’s 10-3 in Interior Hockey League action Monday night at Priest Valley Arena. Mike Burke and Delaney Halifax each supplied 2+2 for the Canucks, while Brett Heitman also scored twice. Darcy Quiring had 1+4 and Neil Jones 1+2, while Rob Killingbeck bagged four assists. Kyle Beadman, Steve Richter and Ken Hagen replied for Moe Joe’s. Tyler Quiring’s shorthanded goal with four minutes left gave the Canucks a 7-6 win over the Aquatico Bay Bar & Grill Sharks
Sunday night at Wesbild Centre. Quiring finished with a hat trick and one assist, while Jason Elders supplied 3+3 and Troy Killingbeck added 1+4 for the Canucks. Jarret McNeal celebrated his 21st birthday with three goals for the Sharks, who got singles from Sam Pantaleo, Ryan Robinson and Dallas Wolpert. Moe Joe’s got a powerplay goal from Richter with 4:48 remaining to clip the Godard Excavating Predators 4-3 in the early nighter at Wesbild. Richter, Aaron Luprypa and Josh Palmer had the other goals for Moe Joe’s, while Justin
Horochuk, Cody Kepper and Logan Stockley replied for the Preds.
Storm stifle Knights Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan Knights’ powerplay went cold in a 4-1 loss to the Kamloops Storm Saturday night at the Nor-Val Sports Centre in Armstrong. The Knights were 0-for-9 with the man advantage as they dipped to 5-4 in the Shuswap Division of the Kootenay International Hockey League. Kamloops went 2-for-10 on the powerplay as they improved to 3-5-0-2. Ryan Skinner, Josh Rasmussen, Tyler Jackson and Duncan Schultz scored for the Storm. Shawn Holliday sniped his sixth of the season for the Knights. North Okanagan outshot the Storm 30-26 with Lynden Stanwood taking the win and Chris Solecki the loss. The Knights welcomed back feisty Lynden Enger back after a lengthy spell on injured reserve.

Denim meets diamonds Morning Star Staff
Denim and Diamonds is a glittering event for a serious cause — eating disorder treatment and management programs. There are growing waiting lists, mostly of young women, with some young men and older women included, for the programs. The third annual Denim and Diamonds provides a bright evening that is a symbol of hope for these people. Participants are encouraged to wear their best denim, and diamonds if they’ve got them, and listen to Kent Chappell speak about what it is like to be the father of a daughter with an eating disorder. There will be entertainment by hypnotist Troy Mitchell and singer Rachel Woolsey, as well as a chance to meet the Queen Silver Star royalty and current candidates. Denim and Diamonds takes place Friday at 6:30 p.m. at Sparkling Hill Resort with a European dessert buffet, sparkling wine and treats from Cotton’s Chocolates. The silent auction includes a bouquet from Harris Flowers, a package from Ladies World Fitness, art by Bryan Riley and many other items. The raffle first prize is a pair of diamond earrings from JC Bradley; the second prize is two nights’ stay at Sparkling Hill Resort; and the third prize is a custom-designed and handmade denim quilt. Each guest receives a goody bag. Tickets are $40 each available at TD Trust on Anderson Way, Serenity Tanning and Ladies World. The money raised will go to the Vernon Eating disorder Program and the Looking Glass Foundation which runs a residential treatment facility, Woodstone Inn on Galiano Island, for youth with eating disorders. For more information call Sally Stewart at 250-5427461 or www.lookingglassbc.com.

Your brain: you need to use it or lose it Editor’s note: The following is from Jim Elderton, on behalf of the People-In-Need Crisis Line. Brain fatigue? Memory going? Is your precious brain burning out early? You’ll find out how to cope with all this at a highly entertaining presentation by Brain-Based-Learning trainer and motivational speaker Gary Anaka Oct. 20 at the Schubert Centre at 7:30 p.m. If you live and work in a multi-tasking environment you may be experiencing accelerated brain aging. Your precious brain may be burning out early. The brain is the wave of the future — how can you anticipate it if you don’t have a brain to do it with? Stress kills brain cells. So stress downgrades your brain, making it hard to cope with your job and the many demands of your life. A burned-out brain is no joke, especially if that brain is your boss, a member of your family, or your child’s teacher. The problems start in today’s schools. Classrooms are filled with students who struggle with learning. Many have learning difficulties, and Attention Deficit Disorder is the buzzword of the day. Kids are bored, tuned out or stressed out, and
SURONG NAILS
the learning environment in classrooms is becoming more difficult for students and teachers alike. “The majority of students will graduate and know absolutely nothing about their own brain and how it learns best naturally,” said Anaka. “And I wonder how many adults know this?” Anaka’s passion and experience has taught him that a major cause is because people need to be taught differently. “I believe that there’s an enormous need to educate the public about their brain, to avoid the wave of dementia that is sweeping the country,” he said. “It was obvious to me that brain research could not be ignored. And I realized that if we, as professional teachers, didn’t upgrade our training, the public school system would slowly implode. “The health of the brain is as important as the health of one’s body. Brain challenge at home or in the workplace is a huge unaddressed, misunderstood and feared problem.” The Vernon presentation will be highly entertaining and extremely practical, providing information and techniques to make your life (and job) easier.
“Bring a pen and your brain,” said Anaka, “I love to engage audiences — this will not be a stand-and-deliver talkinghead lecture. There’ll be audience participation and total engagement throughout. Within 30 seconds of my starting you’ll be up on your feet and flying.” Find out what a healthy brain needs, and what brain killers to avoid. Be concerned about your future. You’re going to spend the rest of your life there, and you’ll need your brain to do that. Gain the secrets of brain longevity to give you workable strategies for life-long brain wellness. Discover how to make brain plasticity work for you every day. You’ll be filled with hope and optimism for your future. “To avoid cognitive decline, you need to know how to grow dendrites, engage the brain, and keep plasticity alive. You (and you alone) are responsible for your brain health,” said Anaka. “My intention is to teach you how to be your own brain coach.” All profits from Anaka’s presentation will go to the People-In-Need Crisis Line. Advance tickets are $15, available through the Ticket Seller at the Performing Arts Centre, 250-549-7469.

The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) is spreading the message about not spreading influenza during Influenza Immunization Awareness Month. Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is an infection of the airways caused by the influenza virus. Symptoms typically last for seven to 10 days, but some people may experience a cough and weakness for up to six weeks. Some people such as children between the ages of six months
and four years, pregnant women, children and adults with chronic health conditions, morbidly obese, and aboriginal peoples are at higher risk of severe disease or complications. The 2010-2011 trivalent inactivated vaccine provides protection against influenza type A/H1N1 (the recent pandemic strain) and influenza types A/H3N2 and B. NACI recommends that all Canadians get the flu vaccine. However, immunization priority should be given to those at

The other change to the entry list for floribunda roses should read, “One stem with multiple flowers.” I was also asked by a fellow who is considering opening a small garden centre for a list of the roses I would prefer. Here Fred Lyall are a few names I consider the best hybrids that have good rebloom quality. One of my favourites is Esmeralda, now sold in the U.S. under the name Keepsake. Elina is another very good one. A floribunda called Sexy Rexy is a very good one. Sheila’s Perfume is also very good. Gemini is a very good hybrid that produces lots of excellent flowers. The Peace and Chicago Peace

Fresh or canned: it’s your choice
F
or those of you who wish to use fresh pumpkin in a recipe, I’ve found the best way to prepare it is to cut the pumpkin in half (or into smaller sections if it’s large), leaving it unpeeled; clean it out, and place the pieces on a baking sheet, cut side up, and bake it in a 350 F oven for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the pulp is soft. Scoop out the pumpkin and use in your favourite recipe. Today’s recipes include a wonderful butternut squash and pumpkin soup and a pumpkin cheesecake, as an alternative to pumpkin pie, and both are great dishes for Thanksgiving dinner. Here in Canada we have so much to

While the soup is simmering, place the pumpkin halves, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet, and bake in the prepared oven until the pumpkin flesh is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Start the broiler, and place the pumpkin halves under the broiler, about six inches from the heat source to brown the cut side of the pumpkins, if desired.
Discover Canada without leaving your living room Morning Star Staff
If you become a host family for Katimavik, you’ll have the chance to meet young people from across Canada. Katimavik, Canada’s leading national youth service program, is looking for host families between Oct. 24 and Nov. 5. The organization needs families who are willing to host Katimavik participants aged 17 to 21 from across Canada. Here is your chance to get to know a young person who is currently volunteering in your community while introducing them to your
way of living. As part of the Katimavik program, participants stay with a host family of the region in order to better understand their reality and culture. For some participants, this is also an excellent opportunity to benefit from a full-fledged linguistic immersion. This experience will be filled with discoveries for both your family and the participants. Each host family will receive a subsistence allowance for the host period. To become a billeting family, contact project leader Lauren Zabel at
1-866-941-6589, extension 2202, to discuss this opportunity. The Katimavik group arrived in Vernon Sept. 8 and will live in the community for the next few months, before heading to Victoriaville, Que. to continue their six-month program. The group is comprised of six women and five men who are living in a house rented by Katimavik and are supervised by a project leader who lives with them. These young participants are working five days a week at local nonprofit organizations including Venture/ACT,
Independent Living, Allan Brooks Nature Centre, Okanagan Science Centre, Vernon Arts Centre, CMHA and the Downtown Vernon Association. Since 1977, Katimavik has enabled nearly 30, 000 Canadians to be involved in more than 2,000 communities throughout Canada. Youth also benefit from Katimavik’s structured learning program that focuses on the development of lifelong personal, professional and social competencies in the areas of civic engagement, healthy lifestyle, cultural discovery, official languages,

Thanks to the Registered Disability Savings Plan, Canadians with a disability can save for the future. The RDSP is a long-term savings plan for Canadians under the age of 60 who have a Social Insurance Number and are eligible for the Disability Tax Credit. The government will match your contributions by 300, 200 or 100 per cent depending on the beneficiary’s family income and the amount of your annual contribution. A maximum of $3,500 will be paid each year, with a lifetime limit of $70,000. Contributions made to an RDSP on or before Dec. 31 of the year in which the beneficiary turns 49 are eligible to receive matching grants. Depending on your beneficiaries’ family income, you may receive a Canada Disability Savings Bond of up to $1,000 a year. You don’t need to make any contributions to your RDSP in order to receive the bond, for which there is a lifetime limit of $20,000.

How can I test my home for the level of radon gas?
If you contribute to your RRSP once a year, on or around March 1, and continue on the same course until the following spring, you could be missing out on the potential for substantial, long-term compound growth by investing sooner within your RRSP. Pre-authorized chequing lets you contribute early and often (and effortlessly) throughout the year rather than at the last minute. It can provide you up to 12 more months of compounding and tax-deferred growth. As an Investment Professional, I continually work with my clients to assess their goals and design and carry out investment programs that work for them. This includes diversifying their investments, using a long-term perspective to maximize returns while reducing risk. It’s never too late, or too early, to begin planning for your retirement. I can help you assess your goals and will work with you to establish an investment program that’s specially designed for you. I would be pleased to discuss your ďŹ nancial future and ways in which our large selection of mutual funds can assist you in your long-term investment planning. Please feel free to call me for additional information at 250-308-7253.

Honestly, there’s no single answer. Here’s what our most successful clients do:
Regular exercise‌strength training will keep weight off, and also increase your metabolism about 15%, meaning you burn more calories at rest!!! Good eating habits‌ calories, nutrients, and balanced meals. If you’re not sure how to do this, come to us for help or attend one of our free classes. Lastly, lots of H2O‌two cups of water before every meal will help get the weight off. And don’t try to change everything all at once. Small changes add up to great results!

When I’m shopping for leather furniture what is the difference between bonded leather and genuine leather?
There are several difference types of leather products available in the market to help with cost effectiveness. Bonded leather is one of the newest products on the market for furniture, but has been used for wallets, bible covers etc. Bonded leather is made up of leather scraps and ďŹ bers mixed together then formed into a roll using adhesives. It usually contains only 10-17% leather ďŹ bers. This process has been perfected that in some cases you probably won’t be able to tell the difference in the feel. Bonded leather will also appear awless with an even grain, where as leather is a natural product and may show “natural markingsâ€?. Genuine leather upholstery is made out of quality hides and is deďŹ nitely more durable than bonded leather. Bonded leather has been a great addition into the market for price point, but if you are looking for a quality product genuine leather is the way to go.

There are two types of radon gas tests available – short term and long term. If you are testing your home for the ďŹ rst time, you need a short term test. This involves sampling the air in your home by placing a specially designed cartridge in the lowest living area for 2 – 4 days. After that, the samples are sent to a lab for analysis. Testing can done by a professional or you can do it yourself quite easily. Inexpensive radon test kits with easy to follow instructions are available online.

The good news is that travel insurance is affordable, easy to purchase and can protect you both medically and ďŹ nancially. Ask our experts about how can we help you protect your travel investment.

Giuseppe (Joe) Colombina
MARTTINEN
It is with great sadness that the family of Giuseppe (Joe) Colombina announce his passing on October 2nd 2010 with his family at his side. Joe was born in Valdagno, Vincenza, Italy on February 8th, 1926. Joe is survived by his wife of 59 years, Rosa Lena; son John (Ruth); daughters Pina (Ron) and Teresa (Tom); grandchildren Laura (Rob), Aaron, Marc, Kathleen (Kye), Tamara (Alvaro), Sarah and Morgan; great-grandchildren Adam and Emily; brother, sisters, sisters-in-law and their families in Italy. Joe excelled in his youth as a professional boxer and served for his country during WWII. Due to economic hardship Joe immigrated to Canada in April 1957 in search of peace and a better life for his family. Education was important to him and Joe was proud to announce that each one of his children and grandchildren attended post-secondary schools. Joe was an outdoors man, enjoying gardening, fishing, hiking and in his early days was an avid mountaineer. Through his grandchildren, Nonno’s humour and activities continued to make him a child at heart. Although his health challenged the activities he enjoyed, Joe persevered and even to this summer planted a beautiful garden. A special thank you to Dr. Gabra and the staff at Vernon Jubilee Hospital for the wonderful care given to Joe in his last days. Mass of the Christian Burial will be held on Thursday October 7th, 2010 at 1:00 p.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church (3335 Patterson St, Armstrong BC). In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Canadian National Institute for the Blind (www.cnib.ca, 247 Lawrence Ave, Kelowna, BC V1Y 6L2) or a charity of your choice. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family via email armstrong@pafs.net
