Lumby trucker is ‘lucky to be alive’ JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

With a $10,000 bounty on their heads, Alex Fraser hopes the individuals who severely beat him and left him for dead might have a conscience.

The 67-year-old truck driver from Lumby was on his way home late at night when he was attacked outside of Blue River, B.C. Sept. 24.

Fraser stopped to help some individuals who appeared to be having vehicle trouble on the side of the Yellowhead Highway.

But he was greeted with violence as the individuals proceeded to beat Fraser with what he says felt like a baseball bat or two-by-four.

Fraser was knocked unconscious and left on the side of the road, bruised and bleeding with broken bones in his face.

Still unsure of how he even got into his truck, Fraser managed to drive himself more than 30 kilometres to Blue River. The details are blurry, but Fraser eventually ended up in the Kamloops hospital. “I’m lucky to be here right now,� said Fraser, still very weak, struggling to regain sight in his eye and dealing with intense back, neck and shoulder pain.

Since the perpetrators didn’t rob him or his truck, Fraser isn’t sure why anyone would do this to him. “Maybe somebody didn’t like truck drivers.�

SUBMITTED PHOTOS

Alex Fraser of Lumby reads to his two-year-old grandson Xavier (right) after he was badly beaten trying to be a Good Samaritan and help what he assumed were broken down motorists.

All the Monarch Transport driver knows is his 45-year trucking career is over.

Police have yet to catch up with whomever did this to Fraser and now a substantial reward has been offered.

The British Columbia Trucking Association (BCTA) is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual(s) who attacked and severely beat Fraser. “I have never, in the 16 years I’ve been with BCTA, heard of anything like this,� said Paul Landry, BCTA president and CEO. “BCTA is committed to all forms of safety in trucking, whether that means road

safety or safety for truck drivers. We want to help bring the perpetrators to justice. “Truck drivers are known for helping others on the road. I’d hate to be in a world where they can no longer choose to be Good Samaritans. I hope that others who feel the same way will come forward.�

Alex and his wife Carol (about to celebrate their 46th anniversary) are now living on one income.

Carol owns Deja Vu Ladies Fashions in downtown Vernon, which she was planning to retire from in May. Therefore the trucking community is rallying support for the couple.

Monarch Transport is accepting

cheques or money orders made out to Alex Fraser by mail: 18 – 3300 Smith Dr., Armstrong, B.C. V0E 1B1. “Alex is one of the nicest people I have had the privilege of meeting in my lifetime,� said Dana Gawne at Monarch Transport. “We are all so sad that anyone would ever do such a horrible thing to anyone.�

BCTA is also soliciting donations to assist Fraser cope with his unanticipated entry into what should have been a planned and well-earned retirement. Anyone wanting to help can call BCTA at 604-888-5319 or 1-800-565-2282.

Even after all that Fraser has been

through, the Good Samaritan says he would still stop to help someone on the side of the road. “I feel sorry for people who are broke down,� said Fraser, speaking from experience after he was stranded in his rig last year for five-and-ahalf hours, waiting for help in the freezing cold.

Only now he says he wouldn’t get out of his vehicle, he’d wait for those seeking help to come to him. And he advises any other Good Samaritans left out there to do the same. “I made the mistake of getting out of the vehicle and it almost cost me my life, while it cost me my livelihood,� said Fraser.

Undercover sting targets local sex trade ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Nearly a dozen men and women involved in the sex trade were arrested, by Vernon RCMP following an undercover operation conducted during the month of September.

In total, 11 arrests were made: six were men on the sex trade user side of the issue.

Five women were arrested including one who had been taken into custody during a previous undercover sting.

“We had complaints coming in from the public and businesses in the downtown core, we have dealt with it and we are continuing to deal with it,� said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk, who explained that while the latest operation resulted in 11 arrests, police have been leaning towards the education side of the issue. “We made it clear to the johns that they are continuing to victimize the workers, and we tried to help the workers try and find and

assist them in getting out of the trade,� said Molendyk.

Of the six men arrested, four have already agreed to participate in the prostitution offender program, based out of the Lower Mainland and operated by the John Howard Society.

The program is paid for by the user and is an educational form of justice for dealing with this offence.

All of the women arrested were provided

information about community programs that would assist in changing their lives. “There is no program at this point for women like there is for the men which is run by the John Howard Society,� said Molendyk. “Sometimes the only way we can help the women is get them into the courts and get them help through the court system. We’re not picking on the women by sending them to court. Sometimes it’s the only way to assist them in breaking the cycle.�

News Meat sales may return to farm

LAYING THINGS OUT

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

CORY BIALECKI/ MORNING STAR

Wes Reid, with Sawchuk Development, goes over a set of blueprints Wednesday at Polson Park as the foundations go in for the new pavilion.

Meat producers could soon be able to sell from the farm again.

North Okanagan Regional District officials have been told by the Ministry of Healthy Living that class E licenses may be issued to farmers who raise beef, pork, poultry and sheep. “They’ll be able to sell noninspected product from the farm or at farmers’ markets without having to worry about the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and its regulations,� said Rick Fairbairn, rural Lumby director.

Class E allows for the on-farm slaughter of a small number of animals annually for direct sales to local consumers in rural communities that cannot support a fully licensed facility.

Until now, those licenses have only been available in communities along the coast and not in the North Okanagan.

Fairbairn welcomes the change in government policy, saying the old rules forced many processors and producers out of business. “This will be a big step towards sustainability in the agricultural community,� he said. “It allows the farming commu-

East Vernon was knocked out after a construction crew hit the 600-volt electrical line to the McMechan reservoir Wednesday at 1:20 p.m. “Without the pump supply, we were running on reservoir storage,� said Al Cotsworth, utility manager for the North Okanagan Regional District. “We had about 24 hours to get the system back up and running before people started running

out of water.�

Because water was available through the reservoir, the public wasn’t made aware of the situation.

But notification would have occurred had emergency repairs not occurred by 4 a.m. Thursday. “We had a response plan in place,� said Cotsworth.

But a diesel motor with a generator was successfully obtained and it was installed by 2 a.m.

While the breaker at the pump station was fried by the electrical line being struck, there were no injuries. “Luckily where the short occurred, no workers were nearby,� said Cotsworth.

NORD is now looking at recovering costs as a result of the accident. “We’re talking to the contractor in terms of mitigation,� said Cotsworth.

However, stipulations will come along with any class E licenses, including a slaughter safe course, a food safe course, a site assessment and proving that there is a need for expanded slaughter capacity in an area. “It remains to be seen how onerous the conditions will be applied.

But all indications are the ministry will be co-operative,� said Fairbairn. “There is a commitment from them that they’ll be proceeding as soon as possible with the licenses.�

NORD has been fighting B.C.’s meat processing regulations since they came into force in 2007, and assistance has come from VernonMonashee MLA Eric Foster and Vernon Coun. Buffy Baumbrough. “There has been a lot of intense lobbying,� said Fairbairn.

is it being a regional park,” he said.

“We’re looking at the liabilities and what we can do there. If there’s an old building, can we address that?”

It’s been proposed that the city lease Kal Beach to Coldstream for 40 years, and Vernon Mayor Wayne Lippert says there is little chance of ownership being transferred.

“It’s something the city owned prior to the parks service being created,” he said, adding that Coldstream is hanging on to land it has owned for years.

Another issue of contention is the Vernon Recreation Complex.

The draft agreement calls for the city to operate the building which it already owns. Coldstream and the two electoral areas would only pay half

of what they currently are towards operations because they wouldn’t have a vote on issues.

“Everyone enjoys these facilities whether you live in Vernon, Coldstream or the BX,” said Lippert.

“Some of my councillors aren’t happy about this. Some call it a subsidy for outlying areas.”

Coldstream is also divided on the funding formula.

“I have a split council. Some say we should stay in the recreation complex regionally and some want to pay nothing,” said Garlick.

The thrust behind restructuring negotiations has been to allow individual jurisdictions more control over parks and facilities. But Lippert says Coldstream and the electoral areas have been the catalyst.

“We should go to the table thinking about all of our citizens and not just chopping it up,” he said.

“I’d be happy if everything just stayed as it is.”

Beyond parks and recreation, a separate function could be established for arts, culture and youth activities in Greater Vernon.

With hunting season in full swing, and the long weekend approaching, the RCMP are asking hunters and backwoods enthusiasts to please take a few minutes and inform family members or friends where you are going and when you are expected to come home.

In the past week, police have received calls about overdue hunters, who were all found to be OK. “Remember cell phones do not always work in the backwoods in many areas of the North Okanagan,” said RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk.

“When the police are called in to start to look for a missing person, then our search and rescue units are also called into action. This involves many people giving their time to come and find you.”

Police are asking everyone to take a few minutes to let someone know where you are going hunting, and not just a general area of where you’re going.

“Where possible give a location like the name of the lake,” said Molendyk. Or ‘I will be so many kilometres up this logging road at this cut block.’”

Make sure someone has the description and license number of your vehicle.

Also be prepared. You should have enough food and safety items with you to survive an emergency

for 24 hours.

The hardest part in starting to look for someone is if search teams do not know where to start.

“We could be losing valuable time just trying to find the area to start the search,” said Molendyk.

“This time could make a difference if you are lost or hurt.”

Q: Should I put my child on the title of my house to avoid paying probate fees?

A: Paying probate fees may be cheaper in the long run. When putting your child on title, you expose your home to his creditors, or even a bitter soon-to-be ex-spouse.

When the house is sold eventually, capital gains tax from the date you transferred the property would have to be paid. There are far more effective and simpler ways to reduce probate fees. Talk to a lawyer experienced in estate planning.

Highway intersection to get light ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

The green light has been given for an amber light at a contentious North Okanagan intersection.

After meeting with Transportation Minister Shirley Bond at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities conference, Spallumcheen Mayor Will Hansma says the province will probably put in an amber flashing light at Highway 97A and McLeod Road.

“That’s excellent news,” said Hansma.

“The minister was aware of the situation and said it’s one of their top priorities.”

Asked when the light would be put in, Hansma said Bond stated the work would be done “in a short little while.”

“Not exactly sure when that is,” chuckled Hansma.

Helping sway the ministry was an 821-signature petition from residents and visitors to the region, which called

for the implementation of traffic or amberflashing lights at the McLeod turnoff, located one mile north of Armstrong on Highway 97A. The petition was spearheaded by Spallumcheen residents Frances Wirtz and Carol Hill-Lonergan.

“The minister specifically mentioned

petition,” said Coun.

Christine Fraser, who also attended the UBCM meeting in Whistler.

“With council making repeated pleas, the petition made an impact. It goes to show if people get involved they can make a difference.”

The intersection provides access to an area with more than 200

homes and is located within a 90-kilometrean-hour speed zone.

The turnoff is the main road into the subdivision.

Hansma said the ministry would also consider a slip or acceleration lane at the turnoff for southbound traffic to alleviate the pressure of turning left into the subdivision.

DISTRICT OF COLDSTREAM NOTICE TO RESIDENTS In 2008 the District of Coldstream initiated the Coldstream Sustainability Initiative planning process. The Sustainability Initiative is fully funded from a federal program called Integrated Community Sustainability Planning (ICSP). Phase three, of the five phase process, is to select an area that would undergo a sustainability review case study. District Council selected the Central Coldstream area for this review. A survey has been prepared to gather feedback from the community as to potential development and the future services in this area.

All residents of Coldstream are encouraged to complete the survey and submit to the District office. The survey, and the Draft Neighbourhood Plan, can be found on the District’s website at www.districtofcoldstream. ca, or at the Coldstream Municipal Hall. Surveys are to be submitted no later than Friday October 22, 2010.

Make Silver Star Your

Providing help to Haiti Christmas Party Headquarters JENNIFER SMITH

Morning Star Staff

As a single mom constantly struggling to make ends meet, Deborah Conabree doesn’t have a lot to give, at least financially.

But armed with education, the art instructor is hoping to spread some wealth upon others who are in real dire straits.

And she is hoping the people of the North Okanagan can help her help others.

We’ve all seen the devastation of hunger, poverty, natural disaster and crime abroad, but Conabree has seen it first-hand.

She volunteered to teach English in a church school in the Dominican Republic and therefore she met the families and children suffering from starvation and living with nothing.

The families she met were Haitian refugees who went to the Dominican to work in the sugar fields and escape the devastation from the hurricane.

Unfortunately they never made enough money to go home so now they’re trapped.

And even if they could go home, for many there is nothing left in Haiti to return to, including lost family members and friends.

“They’ve set their sights on succeeding where they are.”

Not long after starting at the school it was closed due to managerial problems and funds to continue were lost.

With help, she immediately founded another school.

Now the school, called For the Love of God, wants her to come be the director of the school, but Conabree simply can’t afford to on her own.

But, she says: “I can be here and still do lots.”

And her brain is full of ideas on how to help.

To start, she is asking any winter vacationers considering heading to the Dominican to bring some goods with them.

She points out that if you fly WestJet they allow one piece of baggage containing human-

Deborah Conabree is hoping North Okanagan residents can help Haitian students. itarian aid items at no charge.

Next, she is trying to raise funds to pay the $2,400 annual rent for the school – which educates 93 children.

“That is not a lot to make sure that almost 100 kids go to school for another full year,” said Conabree, who has collected old textbooks being thrown out by local schools to bring to For the Love of God. Thirdly, she would like to start a wave of support for families struggling to not only get by, but struggling to survive.

“This school is the immediate priority but its bigger than that,” said Conabree.

Rather than continually pay for a school, she wants to help 50 families of the community pay for it themselves by becoming self sufficient economically.

“If I help 50 families and they each help three and they each help three and they each help three and so on we will create a wave of economic improvements.”

She plans to raise $1,500 per family to stabilize, train and provide an economic project to each of these families.

Sometimes all they need is a tool, other times, an appliance, other times a creative product idea, of which Conabree has plenty.

“I’m not interested in giving a man a fish, I’m interested in teaching a man to fish,” said Conabree.

“The reason I’m willing to help them is because they’re willing to help themselves.

These people are reverent Christians.”

She plans to teach them how to garden, create original products, sell to stores locally

and internationally and more.

“Any normal person would respond this way,” said Conabree.

“You share what you’ve got and I don’t have anything to share.

I’m a single mother, but I have education to share.”

Conabree is also working on a fundraiser to sell fondant cakes for Christmas and is in need of helpers.

“I’m looking for people who want to play Cake Boss for a day for a good cause.”

Lastly, Conabree is looking for tap shoes. It may seem like a strange request, but Conabree explains her idea.

“The Haitian people are so musical. I really feel that having lost it all they should return to their musical roots, turn them into the basis for their new international identity.”

The Haitians had been begging for instruments, but financially they are not viable, therefore she thought about what a thunderous, happy noise of 100 tappers would be.

Conabree will also be donating 10 per cent of funds from her allages art classes, and 30 per cent from Deborah Dayton’s Annual Art Show and Sale also coming this Christmas.

For more information or to donate contact Conabree at 250558-3328, or email her at beabeliever@hotmail. com.

Donations, made out to Conabree, can also be dropped off at The Morning Star or mailed to: 4407 25th Ave., Vernon, B.C. V1T 1P5.

The ‘bad mom’ blues

I

’m back from a year off playing house. I have to say, it’s a great life being able to hang out with your little one all day, going to the park, shopping, visiting friends and organizing play dates.

My daughter, Darla, now one year old, (sob how they grow so fast), has been the light in my life.

But I wouldn’t be a very good reporter if I didn’t tell the whole truth.

The truth that no one ever tells new mothers about – the dark side of motherhood.

As much as I enjoy Darla, there are times when Jennifer Smith I feel like I’m just not cut out for this mothering business.

I mistakenly expected I’d fall in love and have an instant bond with my baby.

Yet as cute as that blueish, blood-covered baby was after tearing my insides out during delivery I didn’t have that instant connection.

There I was holding this little being, having absolutely no clue what to do with her.

Feed her.

Sure, let’s try it.

OMG, this little thing is a piranha.

Breast feeding was not the breeze everyone made it out to be. It was tearfully painful, took everything out of me and was horribly time-consuming. Some days it felt like all I did was sit in bed with Darla squeezing every ounce of energy out of me.

For whatever reason, breast feeding was not my forte, but I stuck it out (er, whipped it out) until my body decided I could no longer produce milk like a cow, sometime around two months.

Then there was/is the crying.

I know babies cry, but I did not expect the extent of it.

The sound of a colicky baby is not music to this mother’s ears. I lived on Tylenol to help minimize the earaches and pounding in my head.

The crying was so intense that after trying everything to soothe her sometimes I’d just end

up on the floor sobbing away with her.

I wish I could tell you that I was calm about it all, but honestly there’s times when I was so frustrated that I wanted to give up.

The problem is that I thought I was the only one, which only fed my theory that I’m a bad mom.

But after some research and talking to other moms, I found that I wasn’t alone in my struggles. And I wasn’t alone in thinking that I was the only one.

Some other moms admit that there’s so much pressure these days to be the perfect mother.

We’re ashamed to admit our feelings and talk openly, when what we really need is to hear and see that other moms are going through the same thing.

Being new to the game, it would have been great not just to hear all the good things about having a baby, but some of the harder parts – so I could at least try to prepare for them.

In the end, I did fall in love with Darla – it’s hard not to when you see those big blue eyes, round cheeks and intoxicating smile. And aside from our struggles, we’ve had a lot of good times together and grown a strong mother-daughter bond (despite that recently being broken with me going back to work and having to leave her at day care).

The reason I’m opting to share the cons versus the pros is in celebration of World Mental Health Day - Sunday.

Suffering from postpartum depression, I know all too well how important good mental health is to your well-being.

They say 10 to 15 per cent of women suffer from postpartum depression, but I think the numbers are significantly higher.

I’m one of the lucky ones who got help and medication to assist me. Unfortunately there are many other mothers out there who are too ashamed to admit their problems and who go without help.

And the problem is escalated by the fact that few people understand postpartum depression.

No one wants to talk about, therefore those who suffer from it do so alone.

It’s easy to be optimistic about a potential ease in the provincial meat processing regulations.

After all, when the draconian regulations came into force in 2007, there was little hope the government would back off its direction, citing public safety as the thrust behind its actions. But last week, North Okanagan politicians were informed that a change may now be in the works.

If that is correct, Victoria may start handing out class E licenses, meaning meat can be slaughtered right on the farm for direct sale to local customers. It would be welcome news for smallscale processors and producers in the North Okanagan who have suffered since 2007.

A change in the rules would also mean that all of the government’s campaign of eating closer to home isn’t just a public relations stunt but something tangible.

However, local politicians and farmers should remain somewhat skeptical at this point because it’s not known how the regulations will actually be applied. Will licenses be handed out to everyone who applies, or will there only be a certain amount per region?

It’s expected the government will require farmers with licenses to go through slaughter safety courses and a site assessment.

How costly will this process be, and will expensive upgrades be needed to properties?

Farmers will also have to prove there’s a need for increased slaughter capacity in a region.

But why is that necessary when the government - the great defender of free enterprise doesn’t demand the same from other industries?

The word coming out of Victoria is positive, but farmers shouldn’t start celebrating yet because the devil will be in the details.

People should come to their senses

I

live in a province diverse in resources, with beautiful mountains, streams, rivers, lakes, and deserts. A province bountiful in wildlife and fisheries. Every day, I awake thinking how lucky I am to have the best health care, good roads, great education facilities, and everything I need for a fantastic day.

I read where this province has had more than 112 tax cuts and the lowest basic income taxes in Canada. We now have the most available money in our pockets due to these tax cuts.

Our basic income tax is 5.04 per cent for under $38,000 per year and Alberta's is 10 per cent. Alberta does not have the basic homeowner grant. In general, for those under $77,000 per year we pay less tax then Alberta even with the HST and income tax combined. Quebec has a PST of 9.5 per cent and the Maritimes have HST of 15 per cent. Most importantly, Alberta's deficit is $8 billion while B.C.'s is $1.5 billion. Our provincial ministers are still taking a pay cut of nine per cent until our budget is balanced.

Along comes a tax which helps employment. Almost every business is in favour of this tax except for some restaurants

MEANINGFUL DEBATE I agree with Michael Murison about the pitfalls of California's style of 'direct democracy' and voting on initiatives. It is on its face true democracy but it doesn't work because people vote for their short term benefits and ignore the bigger problems but, I think it is abundantly clear that the way, repeat way, the B.C. government brought in the HST is, at best incompetent and at worst arrogant.

I have no problem with the HST itself; death and taxes are inevitable and the HST is not a lot more onerous than many other taxes we pay.

No, it was the government's manner of implementation that galls.

First they claim it's revenue neutral but that it benefits business. Well, which is it? Hard to see how it can be both. Somehow that smells.

Then there's the way they avoided bringing it up before our elected representatives. That smacks of fascism; it's alright electorate, don't worry about that sort of thing, we'll make the decisions for you. Well, we didn't elect only Liberals to the Legislature; it should have been debated.

Then there's the timing;. We were told that Finance Minister Hanson saw something that referenced the HST prior to the election but he didn't pay much attention to it; it seemed unimportant. Well,

and a few others. This tax is mostly on non-essential —a tax which helps the poor and low income earners. Most people do not understand it — they sign a petition. Then when they have a choice to listen to the party which has set B.C. in the best economic recovery position of anywhere in the western hemisphere, who do they listen to? Bill Vander Zalm, a man how took the Social Credit party to oblivion.

Then the people started agreeing with him to force recalls.

Give me a break. I guess people like getting up in the moaning thinking of how wonderful it is to get up to higher taxes, less employment, and much less money in their pockets. To awake thinking how glad they are that Bill brought in the property transfer tax.

They hope that day will bring less health care, poorer roads, fewer parks, poorer education. However, at least they got to show their support for Bill Vander Zalm by trying to destroy the B.C. Liberal Party which succeeded in policies designed to help them. So be it.

I can only hope that people will come to their senses.

Brian Cowan

unimportant it wasn't and now it is the law and again, the process smells.

Now there may be a hidden agenda by advocates of 'the citizen's initiative' and that hidden agenda may be just recalling MLAs but it is hard to imagine Bill Vander Zalm wanting to recall Liberals who are really just closet conservatives and have them replaced by NDPers.

Somehow it doesn't wash.

No, the Liberal Government was clumsy in the institution of the HST and it has cost us, the electorate, money and we deserve better; more honesty, more professionalism, more consideration and less arrogance.

And no, I am not in favour of recalls at the polls. It is just a way to attack the less powerful candidates but I am in favour of recollection at the next election of the hamfisted way the Liberal government did this.

Face it, they did an incompetent job of selling it to us.

Brian Worth LETTER PRAISED I would like to commend Ian Tribes for his article in the paper regarding free society (which we don't have anymore). I for one wish to join the ranks of citizens here in the so-called "free society" that are just plain fed up with

the galloping bureaucracy's wish to invade our lives at every turn.

Bylaws and other laws coming out at such a rate that none of us can keep track. I am sure on awaking every morning (hopefully at 68 years). I have indeed broken some law somewhere sometime. It is getting unreal.

R.G.Stickley ILLNESS I am writing this in regards to the liberation from Multiple Scherosis, the vascular operation on the clearing of the veins in their neck.

As my husband sits in his chair hoping and praying that somehow they will do the operation in Canada. We don't have the money to go anywhere to have this done so he knows in his heart it is so far away for him.

His working days were over, his marriage strained, his only hope to possibly get something back, but no, won't happen, too much money involved.

How much would the medical system lose if all MS patients wanted this done.

What kind of world is this that we live in where medical treatments for patients are denied because of money, you see it every day.

All I can say is that the world is in deep trouble when this starts to happen, we all know money rules

everything but when you start playing with people's lives like this, it's criminal.

Only the rich are going to be able to be healthy and that is where we are headed.

My mother died of Huntington's disease, when I heard there was a breakthrough, I said to my husband, oh great, tease us, because we know it will only be for the rich.

If there is a god I am so sure he is saddened by this and waiting for humans to do the right thing. I know lots of people with MS at 30 years of age with little children who are desperate for this, but because of money they cannot have this done, they hope and pray for this to happen.

Now I ask you "What kind of world is this where we deny them a chance"? My next thought is if the veins in your neck are so narrow that the blood cannot flow properly should you not have that fixed anyway regardless of MS? Jean Manifold IMPROVE PROGRAMS Since the Liberals are bound and determined to collect the HST from us for at least another 12 months, here's a thought.

Improve the funding to Kindale, better yet start providing programs for adults with autism. It can either be through Kindale or CMHA,

Did you know?

• Kidney Disease causes death in many people with diabetes and high blood pressure, and raises the risk of a heart attack?

• Healthy kidneys reduce the risk of heart attacks and high blood pressure?

If detected early, Chronic Kidney Disease can be treated, thereby reducing the risk of complications of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart attacks.

the services for the developmentally disabled drastically need to be upgraded.

The nearest autism support is in Vancouver and that is not acceptable.

The proposed equestrian centre —

which would likely replace Kin Race Track in Vernon — could also include training and boarding of horses, and a veterinary hospital.

“It could do a bit for tourism and industry in Greater Vernon and solve the problem with Kin Race Track,” said Acton.

NORD and the City of Vernon own Kin Race Track and the longtime occupant of the site — the Okanagan Equestrian Society — must leave the property by the end of this year.

The society has taken NORD and the city to court, claiming that equestrian activities were guaranteed when most of Kin Race Track was turned over to the city in 1964 for free.

The society also claims that the regional district ignored an agreement for lease renewals.

A tentative court date is set for June 2011.

REGIONAL DISTRICT OF NORTH OKANAGAN

WATER MAIN FLUSHING NOTICE The Regional District of North Okanagan - Greater Vernon Water in conjunction with the City of Vernon and District of Coldstream Operations will continue with Water Main flushing. Over the next two weeks flushing will occur in the following areas: • •

Duteau System (customers previously on the Antwerp System) – From Aberdeen Road east including all of Lavington.

Duteau System – North and South BX, East Vernon, Old Kamloops Road, Blue Jay Subdivision, Stepping Stones and Swan Lake.

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

Your best move is with Deb

CLIFFORD AUTOMOTIVE

• 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.

“They’ve come up with an innovative design,” said director Shawn Lee. “It will be a nice addition to

Road checks reveal variety of violations A 10-hour traffic enhancement check kept local RCMP officers busy last Friday.

A total of seven officers from general duty, North Okanagan Traffic Services and the RCMP’s Integrated Road Safety Unit conducted the check from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. at several different locations in and around Greater Vernon.

“This check had been planned for a while, and this is the first of what will probably be several road checks leading up to the Christmas season,” said Vernon RCMP

“Our officers will be looking for a lot of things at these traffic enhancement checks.”

— Gord Molendyk spokesman Gord Molendyk.

Officers issued 26 speeding tickets and 21 other moving provincial violations.

Six people were ticketed for not wearing their seatbelts.

Four drivers were given three-day liquorrelated driving prohibitions while one unlicensed driver was given a seven-day prohibition.

North Okanagan residents will have a chance to provide input on the proposed 2011/12 provincial budget today.

The select standing committee on finance and government services will hold a public consultation, by video conference, from 9 a.m. to noon at Community Futures.

“The aim of the committee is to consult with the public and then formulate recommendations that will assist the finance minister with the provincial budget,” said John Les John Les, com-

mittee chairman.

“The committee is looking for ways to protect vital services like health care and education while continuing to stabilize the economy and maintain a strong job creation environment.

“The committee is also interested in any tax and policy recommendations that the public might have.”

Grow-op busted Morning Star Staff

Police seized marijuana and some firearms after executing a search warrant at a Spallumcheen home Wednesday morning.

A total of 181 marijuana plants and five firearms were taken from a home in the 400 block of Stepping Stones Road.

“It appears the suspects had been running this operation for quite some time,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk.

A 63-year-old man and 62-year-old woman were arrested at the home and are facing charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking, production of a controlled substance and theft of hydro.

As part of North Okanagan Homelessness Action Week, there will be two opportunities for residents to learn more about the issue.

Judy Graves, Vancouver’s tenant assistance program coordinator, will speak Tuesday at noon and 7 p.m. at Trinity United Church on Alexis Park Drive.

During the noon to 2 p.m. session, Graves will provide a retrospective look at homeJudy Graves lessness action and what’s next.

Lunch will be provided.

The 7 to 8:30 p.m. session will look at faithful advocacy in a secular world. It includes a snack.

Graves designed and piloted a program in Vancouver to take someone from sleeping on the streets in the morning to living in a place of their own by the afternoon.

Since 2005, the program has grown to 48 communities across B.C., including Vernon, and has housed more than 6,000 people.

There is no charge for either session and donations will be accepted.

The events are sponsored by the North Okanagan Homeless Action Week Committee.

PACs game for more dollars Morning Star Staff

Gaming grants also provide funding for student travel within the province, newsletters, yearbooks, playground and sports equipment, awards, trophies, scholarships and bursaries.

“One of the best ways to ensure students succeed is to give them as many opportunities to excel as possible,” said Shuswap MLA George Abbott.

“That’s why we’ve increased funding for extracurricular activities to broaden their learning and help them be well-rounded.”

Funding is also provided to District Parent Advisory Councils (DPACs) to build relationships and promote effective communication among schools, parents, students and the community.

Eligible uses for this funding are educational and promotional materials, as well as administration and travel to DPAC meetings.

DPACs are comprised of members from each PAC in a district. DPACs receive grants of $2,500 every year while PAC grants are based on the respective schools’ student enrolment and are paid annually at $20 per student.

Funding for PACs is part of $120 million budgeted for gaming grants this year – $7.4 million more than last year.

The ante has been upped in support of education.

North Okanagan parent advisory councils have gained on gaming grants as part of a provincial share of $11 million in community gaming grants this school year to support activities for children In the Vernon area, 20 PACs will share more than $170,000 in community gaming grants and 21 Shuswap area PACs will share more Eric Foster than $120,000.

“What a great example of gaming money going right back into the community and improving our kids’ education,” said Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster.

“As a former educator, I’ve seen first-hand how valuable PACs are to our schools and what a positive difference they make in students’ lives.”

Activities that gaming grants support include school drama and chess clubs, writing, debating and music competitions, and student societies.

Assistance funds aid seniors’ lives Black Press

Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes is encouraging non-profit organizations that work to improve the lives of Canada’s seniors to apply for federal funding.

The 2010–2011 call for proposals under the Capital Assistance component of the New Horizons for Seniors Program was offiically launched Aug. 30 by Diane Ablonczy, the minister of state for seniors.

This funding will enable organizations to renovate facilities and replace equipment used to deliver seniors’ programs and activities.

Up to $25,000 in funding is available per project.

“We know how important it is to provide meaningful programs and activities for our seniors,” said Mayes.

“This is just one more way that we can help support non-profit organizations in their goal to engage seniors in the community.”

“Our government

“This is just one more way that we can help.”

— Colin Mayes recognizes the ongoing contributions that seniors make to our communities, workplaces and society,” said Ablonczy.

“That is why we are working hard to ensure that our policies, programs and services continue to provide opportunities for seniors to improve their well-being and quality of life.”

The application deadline is Oct. 8 in all provinces and territories except Quebec.

In Quebec, the call for proposals for Capital Assistance and Community Participation and Leadership funding opened May 3, and closed Sept. 17.

For more information about all calls for

4144 Spallumcheen Way Spallumcheen, BC, V0E 1B6

proposals, visit the following website: www. hrsdc.gc.ca/seniors.

Earlier this year, Ablonczy announced the approval of 626 Capital Assistance projects that were submitted as part of the 2009–2010 call.

More than $8.5 million in grant funding was awarded to the recipients.

Since its beginning, the New Horizons for Seniors Program has funded over 7,000 projects across Canada, helping seniors to use their leadership, energy and skills to benefit our communities.

North Okanagan Rotary clubs are joining the fight to eradicate polio around the globe.

Clubs throughout the valley have decided to pool their resources and talents for a month-long campaign in October. The campaign is part of Rotary International’s goal of raising $200 million for immunization.

“During the month, we will have 200 donation boxes set up in restaurants and business up and down the valley,” said Dennis Jacobsen, a Rotarian.

“In addition, donations can be made at any Valley First Credit

Union or online at http://polio5060.com.”

The target is to raise $150,000 in the Okanagan in October.

Polio was largely wiped out in North America in the early

1960s, but it still exists in locations around the world.

In 1985, there were 350,000 cases per year and now, with vaccines, there are only 663 cases so far in 2010. And

of those, 478 were in Tajikistan where a cluster of children were not vaccinated and were at risk.

“It took just one case of polio coming into the area to quickly spread

to all these children,” said Jacobsen.

Poor water and sanitation issues are at the heart of many problems and other Rotary projects work on these issues.

News Kindale building a stronger community Morning Star Staff

An Armstrong fundraiser was a huge success.

The Kindale Developmental Association’s Autumn Celebration generated $11,000 Saturday.

“The $11,000 will help us move closer to the We’re Family: Building Stronger Community fundraising goal of $350,000,” said Cindy Masters, development officer.

The sold-out crowd enjoyed a meal from St. Joseph’s Catering and Don Raffan presided over the live auction.

The silent auction included more than 60 baskets and items.

New to the event his year was

the Via Rail Canada Treasure.

Event guests purchased keys and the lucky person whose key unlocked the treasure chest, won return passenger tickets between Kamloops and Jasper for themselves and three friends.

The winner of the trip was Donna Beenen.

Kindale also recently raised $15,800 from its Heart of Country raffle.

“With the uncertain economy – we decided to try something new and we are very happy with the results,” said Masters.

Keeping warm this winter under a king-size quilt — hand crafted by Mary Eileen Johnson with a portion of the fabric donated by Pleasant Valley

Quilting — is Peter Dubetz.

Donna Crockett will be deciding whether to cook steak, chicken or both on the Broil King Regal barbecue courtesy of Shepherd’s Home Hardware in Armstrong.

Finally, planning a 2011 Twin Anchors Houseboats vacation for 15 will be the folks from Maddocks Construction “The true winners in this raffle are, of course, the people that Kindale serves,” said Masters.

“All the money raised will all be used to enhance a wide variety of innovative programs that support individuals with disabilities to enjoy richer, more inclusive lives.”

relief is only a call away.

Vipers settle for single OT point Goal-challenged Mills cash in late marker KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

More time shooting pucks in the driveway? A trip to the arcade where everybody scores tons of points? Watch Wayne Gretzky’s How to Score video on VHS? None of the above could hurt the Vernon Vipers or Quesnel Millionaires, two goal-challenged teams who skated miles, and thanks only to nifty deflections, tied 1-1 in double overtime before 1,500 fans Wednesday night at Wesbild Centre.

All-star Kirby Halcrow, who made 57 saves in a Game 2 playoff upset over the Vipers last season, recorded 41 stops to earn first star as the Mills swiped a B.C. Hockey League point.

Quadruple overtime may not have been enough to decide a winner as both Halcrow and the Vipers’ Blake Voth were stellar. The Mills have managed a league-low 16 goals in nine games. Vernon is averaging under three goals a game.

“Kirby holds us in every game and unfortunately, for the first little bit here, we’ve had trouble putting the puck in the net,” said Quesnel 20-yearold captain Skyler Smutek, a Seattle product. “We’re CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR hoping that we’re getting all the bad luck out out at Vipers’ David Robinson can’t quite get his stick on the huge rebound given up by Millionaires’ netminder Kirby Halcrow Wednesday night. the beginning of the season, and hopefully we can start popping a few more goals here.

As for Halcrow, Corkey gave the 6-foot-2, 218-pound net make Team Canada West for the World Junior A Hockey Said defenceman Malcolm Lyles, 20, a Boston College Challenge in Penticton, believes the 3-5-0-1 Mills will bust detective a little more credit than Lyles did. recruit out of Florida who was Vernon’s best player most of out of their goal slump in time.

McDonald low pro at Predator Morning Star Staff

Brian McDonald of Fairview Mountain in Oliver shot a 1-under-par Monday to claim the Callaway IPGA Tour Championship at Predator Ridge Golf Resort.

McDonald pocketed $650 on the ninth and final stop of the 2010 season.

“The Predator course was in fantastic condition and challenged the field of local professionals,” said commissioner Brice McDermott of Kelowna.

In a three way tie for second shooting even par 71s were Mark Aven of Vernon Golf & CC, Ryan Matiushyk of Kelowna Golf &CC and Russ Latimer Gallagher’s Canyon Golf & CC. They each collected $483.

Dean Claggett of Two Eagles in West Kelowna, who took home $153 for carding a 73, won the Bob Bartley Order of Merit Award as the leading money winner on the 2010 Callaway Interior Tour. Bartley, of Vernon, died last February at age 82 after a short illness. He and his wife Billie were longtime volunteers in the Valley golf scene.

“Special thanks to host professional Rod Cochrane and Director of Golf Doug Goubault for allowing the tour to visit Predator Ridge for an excellent day of golf,” said McDermott.

“Special thank you to Grant Oben of Callaway Golf Canada for generously sponsoring the tour again in 2010.”

Jesse Crowe, a Kalamalka Laker grad now out of Canoe Creek in Salmon Arm, finished in a four-way finish for fifth spot at 72 to grab $300.

Chris Hinton of Two Eagles and unattached pros Adam Blair and Ryan Street also fashioned 72s.

Jon Kadin of Gallagher’s and Kevin Maxwell of Salmon Arm Golf & CC also shot 73.

Justin Baillargeon of Vernon produced a 74 good for $110, while Ethan Danish of The Harvest Golf Club in Kelowna produced 75 for $100.

Vernon runners placed well in Summerland at the third of six races in the Interior Cross Country Series.

They faced a seemingly short 8.4 kilometre race which was so gruelling that to some it may have felt like 16-km. There was a steep start that leveled out temporarily to take a climb that lasted almost four-km of the race.

Former VSS grad Greg Niemantsverdriet, with UBCO Heat, hammers a ball through the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack defence in exhibition university men’s volleyball action Wednesday night at Fulton Secondary School. The Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) WolfPack swept the Heat 25-16, 25-20,25-23. The WolfPack played many of their youngsters with rookie outside hitter Jesse Bazergui (White Rock) having a good match recording nine kills.

Gowie makes B.C. grade KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

Alex Gowie is a proven goal scorer blessed with speed and skill. Those and a zillion other traits helped the Vernon teenager make the Team B.C. Female Hockey roster for the 2011 Canada Winter Games next February in Halifax.

Gowie, who is attending Grade 12 at the Okanagan Hockey Academy in Penticton, led Team B.C. to recent victory in a four-team tournament at UBC against three Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) teams.

“I felt I played hard and while I am more of an offensive forward, I didn’t get any goals (one assist),” said Gowie. “We won the tournament which was actually surprising to us, but not our coaches. We skated hard and worked the forecheck well.”

Team B.C. won the preparation tournament with a 3-2 shootout victory over the Carleton Ravens of Ottawa. The UBC Thunderbirds and the Toronto Varsity Blues also played in the event.

Gowie, who compiled 11 goals and 23 points with the Okanagan Rockets, fifth best in the province last year in Midget Female AAA play, failed to make the Under 18 team last year.

“I knew what to expect this year and I trained hard in the summer. I did some stickhandling drills with Aaron Hoffman which really helped.”

Vernon’x Alex Gowie with Team B.C. The 5-foot-8, 140-pound durable winger will write her SATs Saturday in hopes of securing a college scholarship.

“I wanna go play in the States.

Something like Minnesota would be nice because it’s closer to home.”

Team B.C. head coach Greg

Hermiston, of Kamloops, says Gowie is following in the tradition of great Vernon talent like Jodi Reinholcz, Kelsey Halvorson and Kirsten Mihalcheon.

“What Alex brings is a lot of speed and a high compete level,” he said.

“Her high skill sets, especially her first-to-the-puck determination, and skating, make her effective. Her skating is very strong and she can score goals.

“We have the best 12 forwards in B.C. so whether she can keep scoring at this level remains to be seen, but all 12 of them will play a role of some kind.”

Hermiston is also high on Gowie’s intensity and physicality.

“The final selections were extremely difficult, a testament to the efforts of the eight players released,” added Hermiston.“The competition they provided for the 20 coveted spots on the team is the reason we are playing at the level we are now.”

Team B.C. will hold a Christmas Camp in the Okanagan to get ready for the Canada Winter Games, Feb. 11-27.

Gowie, who was on the Rockets’ top line last year, goes to school at Pen-Hi in the morning and then heads to the rink for ice sessions and conditioning such as yoga and running.

Laface gets by Kimura Morning Star Staff

Given a chance for redemption, Wayne Laface made his last rock count.

After blowing his two shots in the final end, the veteran skip made a come around with his final stone in the extra end to give Inspiration Homes a 7-6 win over fellow veteran Blake Kimura’s Village Green Hotel foursome in Baron Insurance Super League curling action at the Vernon Curling Club Wednesday.

A three-ender in the third and a steal of one in four gave the Inspiration rink a 5-1 lead. Kimura cut into the lead with one in the fifth and a steal of one in six. Laface restored a three-point lead with a single in the seventh.

TJ Perepolkin also redeemed himself following a poor shot to help Canaccord Wealth Management down Jeff Richard’s Sunset Ranch squad 5-3.

Both skips drew for two facing multiple points for a 2-2 draw after five ends.

Perepolkin had a hit for three in the sixth but only ended up with a deuce. Richard drew the fourfoot for one in the seventh.

After a terrible first shot in the final end, Perepolkin left himself a difficult draw, which he made thanks to his sweeper.

Jon Gardner didn’t score any points until the sixth end of Sladen Moore’s contest against Jen Gerow and Gateway Mechanical.

Gardner scored four in the sixth and added a deuce in the eighth to double Gerow 6-3.

The teams blanked the first three ends before Gardner forced Gerow to take one in the fourth. In the fifth end, Gardner hit and rolled out facing two Gerow stones, allowing Gateway a steal of one.

In the sixth, Gardner hit and rolled to the button to sit four with his first rock. Gerow drew to shot rock, forcing Gardner to make a nice run back hit to score four.

Gerow wrecked on her draw for two and only got one in the seventh, then was heavy on her last draw in eight. That gave Gardner a chance at a quiet

Four rinks had a relatively early night and a chance for prime seating upstairs.

Brad Kuhn’s North Enderby Timber quartet jumped out to a 3-0 lead over Jim Cotter and Woodland Equipment, then scored four in the fourth for a 7-2 victory.

Kuhn, now 2-0 on the year, grabbed a deuce in the first and stole one in the second after Cotter was forced to hit an open stone.

Cotter answered with a soft tap back in the third end to pull to within one. After blanking three straight ends, Cotter crashed on a guard with his last stone in the fourth, giving Kuhn an open draw for four, which he made, leading to handshakes from the Woodland team.

Ty Griffith and Nu Floors mopped up their 9-1 victory over Kyla Gunner’s rink in four ends, thanks to a pair of four-enders in one and four.

It was a game of exciting shots, and the game was better than the score indicates, but an unlucky pick and a few bad breaks for Gunner blew the game open early.Gunner scored her only point with a nice shot in the third.

The Seaton Sonics won the UBCO Invitational Senior Boys Volleyball Tournament Saturday, stopping College Heights Cougars of Prince George in straight sets, 25-16, 25-20.

There was a field of 27 senior AA and AAA teams. The AA Sonics iced Langley Fundamental 25-16, 25-20 in the semifinals, swept the Fulton Maroons 25–17, 25–14 in the quarters and brushed back Princess Margaret Mustangs of Penticton 25-16, 25-15 in the round of 16.

Seaton also defeated St. Francis Xavier, Mt. Sentinel Wildcats of Slocan and South Okanagan Hornets of Oliver in pool play.

“Middles Keenan Wright, Jadon Ward, and Scotty Reczka were solid all weekend,” said Seaton coach Doug Kozak.

“Keenan and Jadon recorded their best game of the tourney against Langley Fundamental, where they combined for 10 kills and nine blocks.

Scotty played well against the South Okanagan Hornets, where he contributed two kills, as well as nine serves.

“Libero Sean Bonnet was passing lights out all tournament long, highlighted in the win over Langley Fundamental where he passed 15 perfect balls.”

Power hitters Alex Nolan and Conner Kozak rose to the occasion against Langley Fundamental

in the semis where they combined for 12 kills and two blocks each. Right side hitter Marco Arnold posted five kills against South Okanagan. Sonic set-

ter Adam Tishenko was a force at the net all weekend and was named tournament MVP. Kozak and Arnold were honored with all-star awards.

News Salmon mission visits region

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL

Morning Star Staff

PHOTO BY LLOYD ATKINS

A coyote keeps a close eye on the photographer while finishing his meal of a dead snake just off of the road leading up to the Allan Brooks Nature Centre recently.

A special mission for B.C.’s wild salmon touring the province is making two local stops.

Mission for Wild Salmon - The Salmon Are Sacred Tour stops in Lumby Wednesday and Enderby Thursday.

The tour of the Fraser River watershed features Dr. Alexandra Morton, a biologist who leads the fight to save wild salmon stocks.

Morton will be in Lumby at noon on Wednesday at the Lumby Salmon Trail Kiosk (behind the Chamber of Commerce) and migrate along the Bessette where the endangered Interior Fraser Coho are spawning.

The Salmon Are Sacred tour of the Fraser River watershed will be in Enderby Thursday, where Morton will give a presentation about the future of wild salmon at 7 p.m. in the A.L. Fortune Secondary School the-

atre. Children from the Splats’in Tsm7aksaltn (Splats’in Teaching Centre) Society will perform a story and dance about the salmon and Runaway Moon Theatre will present How the Salmon Came to the Interior. Morton’s presentation will be followed by an open question period. Admission is by donation to the Enderby event, hosted by the Splats’in Tsm7aksaltn Society, Kingfisher Interpretive Centre, Lower Shuswap Stewardship Society and Splats’in First Nation.

“A run of wild salmon this big has not

been seen in B.C. for 100 years. Wild salmon are the lifeblood of B.C. and our journey will connect the coast to the upper reaches of the Fraser,” said Morton.

Anissa Reed of Ocean Aura, and the creative genius behind Salmon Are Sacred said: “We will be supporting ourselves on this trip and raising awareness by selling T-shirts. I am doing this because I love my home and salmon are what keep it alive. Wild salmon are the backbone of B.C. and we ask that all Wild Salmon People join together in putting wild salmon first.”

The money raised goes toward the development of Child Health BC, an initiative of B.C. Children’s Hospital aimed at ensuring all B.C. children have access to the same high standard of care, no matter where in the province they live.

Child Health BC is enabling children to see specialists in or close to their home communities, and is supporting the work of regional hospitals and health care professionals as they treat children and adolescents wherever they are located.

Among the goals of Child Health BC are

improved access to specialists, reduced travel for children requiring treatment, and increased pediatric care capacity, services and resources in the various regions of the province.

“B.C. Children’s Hospital is everybody’s hospital ... it is responsible for the health care needs of close to a million children,” says Forgacs.

“I doubt you’d have to look far to find someone in your community who has been touched by B.C. Children’s Hospital.”

Families will rest easy knowing their children have access to the provincial level of excellence in care at Child Health BC centres. Children will be able to heal in the comfort of their home communities with loved ones close by. B.C.’s health regions, caregivers and B.C. Children’s Hospital have joined forces at the community level under the umbrella of Child Health BC to ensure all B.C. kids receive the expert care they need.

M

y husband, an Australian, and I were walking along 30th Avenue in downtown Vernon with our five-year-old daughter and two-year-old son when we noticed something in one of the windows of a local bookstore.

It was an album –– the vinyl kind–– by a band called The Cockroaches. “I used to see those guys play in the pubs in Sydney,� my husband exclaimed, as we all scrutinized the album cover.

Suddenly my daughter yelled out: “Hey, that’s Jeff!, while my son, in turn, responded: “Wake up, Jeff!�

Jeff Fatt, better known as the sleepy purple Wiggle from the world famous preschool act, The Wiggles, laughs when I tell him the story. “There’s a few who still know me from The Cockroaches,� said the keyboardist, who with drummer Anthony Field (the blue Wiggle) and his brothers, met back in the late- ‘70s to form the rock band that would evolve into one of the biggest exports to ever come out of Australia.

Known for various TV shows that have aired around the world, including on Treehouse in Canada, with their happy action songs, and primary coloured shirts, The Wiggles are a phenomenon.

Just ask the kids who tote their DVDs, action figures and lunch boxes.

And it never gets old to hear some teenager yell, “Wake up, Jeff!,� referring to Fatt’s “schtick� on the show, where he is always falling asleep. “I still absolutely love it,� said the Wiggle, who in fact is a light sleeper. “We now have children who grew up with us bringing their children to our shows.�

About to pack his 30-or so purple shirts, Fatt and The Wiggles are returning to Canada.

The show, entitled Wiggly Circus Live, features the foursome, including guitarist Murray Cook (red) and newest member, singer Sam Moran (yellow), performing their circus act, seen earlier this year when Cineplex screened it in local movie theatres, including Vernon’s Galaxy Cinemas.

Okanagan residents will now be able to see the act live when The Wiggles and all their Wiggly friends, including Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Henry the Octopus, Wags the Dog and the Wiggly Dancers, perform in Kelowna Tuesday. “We’ve been in Canada certainly more times than I can count, but we’ve never been to Kelowna, so we’re looking forward to seeing it,� said Fatt, adding he doesn’t have as many of those famous colourful shirts as his Wiggly cohorts, because “I don’t sweat as much as the others.� “Our first love is concerts and we will keep doing them,� said Fatt. “We have been doubling with the circus direction over the past two years. It keeps us physically fit and active.

We’re getting into our senior years, so this keeps us young.

I’ve been more active than ever with The Wiggles.�

The story of The Wiggles goes back more than two decades ago when Field left The Cockroaches to study early

PHOTO SUBMITTED

The Wiggles, Jeff Fatt (purple), Sam Moran (yellow), Murray Cook (red) and Anthony Field (blue), ride in the Big Red Car to Kelowna’s Prospera Place Tuesday. This is the first visit to the Okanagan by the best selling Australian preschool entertainers. childhood education in northern New South Wales. He would meet Cook and original yellow Wiggle, Greg Page, calling Fatt to see if he wanted to join their children’s act. “For me, keyboards is keyboards. I did basically the same thing I did in the rock genre. Performing in front of kids was new, so in that case, playing with The Wiggles, at first, was quite daunting,� said Fatt.

Besides the latest circus training, which includes Fatt, now 57, doing his balancing act, performing to kids worldwide never gets old. “It’s easier for me as I don’t have children of my own, and the big thing for me is travelling around as I like the gypsy lifestyle. It’s still fun for me, although it can be difficult for the others, especially Anthony and Sam who now have young children. They have it 24/7 as parents, plus the duration with other kids. But quite often we meet kids with special needs before a show, which is a thrill for all of us.�

Newest member Moran, 32, who replaced Page in 2006 due to the singer’s poor health, brings the average age of the band down a little, adds Fatt. “He has been accepted by everyone now, and there’s now a generation of children who never knew there was another yellow Wiggle.�

With thousands of shows under their proverbial belts, The Wiggles are always trying to bring something new

to their act. Touring the world a few times over, singing in various languages, and performing with some famous artists, most recently with Keith Urban and John Fogerty, which Fatt says was one of his dreams as he is a huge fan, are just some of the ways they keep the act fresh. “With every new TV show/DVD, we try to make everything better. We try something new, or take a different look at something or a new approach,� he said.

And there’s no plans to slow down in the near future.

About to celebrate their 20-year anniversary in June next year, some special events are already in the works, with The Wiggles set to perform their show in circus tents around Australia.

Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum will also be putting on a retrospective exhibition on The Wiggles, which Fatt says is a huge honour.

But first kids will have the opportunity to yell “Wake up, Jeff,� when the Wiggles visit the valley. “In my mind, we will keep doing this as long as we physically can,� said Fatt.

The Wiggles bring their Wiggly Circus Live to Prospera Place Tuesday for a performance at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are between $15 and $75 (plus charges) at Select Your Tickets (www.selectyourtickets.com) or by calling 250-762-5050, or at the Prospera Place box office.

Arts Symphony phases into next decade JENNIFER SMITH

0

Black Press

It’s time the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra found a sustainable funding base within the community rather than relying on government funds, the symphony’s management said Tuesday.

In a press conference to unveil this season’s program and formally introduce new general manager Scott Wilson, music director Rosemary Thomson said the orchestra’s new management team will try to build a social scene of patrons who can provide consistent, sustainable funding for the OSO, now entering its 51st season.

“We will not ignore government sources, but must reduce our reliance on them,” Thomson said, stressing the focus will be on developing local support.

In August, the OSO learned it would receive only 25 per cent of its B.C. Arts Council grant, thanks to the latest round of funding cuts. With only $7,600 to work with, from the usual $30,0000 grant, it meant an ugly reality for the small group of professional musicians who had already seen funding cuts earlier in the year.

But by Tuesday morning, the new manager was talking patron participation and vowing to navigate the coming years of fiscal restraint by encouraging self-reliance. Wilson said he would see to it the musicians play for another 100 years as Thomson offered a brief overview of the man so accomplished there’s a good chance he will live up to the optimistic claims.

Graduating Magna cum Laude from the Julliard School in New York, Thomson said the orchestra’s new manager joined the horn section of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra straight out of school and founded a wine business on the side, early on in his career. Wilson eventually worked into TSO management, staying with the organization for 28 years, until he joined the OSO in the last couple of weeks.

In his first official words to his new audience, Wilson committed to building a social club around his new orchestra, which could presumably offer some of that community support the OSO intends to rely on.

The sparse sound of Only Human opens up space for Laws’ voice to shine through. As her songs are vocally driven, this uncomplicated approach gives the music a flowing pace that creates an easy connection; a userfriendly listener experience (Surrender).

Laws is tastefully supported by Can Crouch on lead guitar, with some additional help from local musicians Steve Butler on drums, and Shane Sperling on bass.

Show seduces with erotic art LAKE COUNTRY –– A number of local artists are showing their sensual side at the Okanagan Erotic Art Show at Ex Nihilo Vineyards Oct. 14 to Nov. 9.

Thirty artists ranging from Penticton to Salmon Arm, and as far away as Toronto and Philadelphia, have been selected to show their work in the exhibition.

The work is an interpretation of the theme “seduce me” in mediums such as watercolour, oil, traditional charcoal, clay, steel and fibre arts.

Along with the art show, Ex Nihilo Vineyards is hosting a festive event to support breast cancer research.

Titz-Elation will be held at the vineyard Oct. 23 at 6:30 p.m, with funds going to the Canadian Cancer Society.

“I had a very special aunt who passed away at the age of 48 from cancer that had originated as breast cancer,” said Decoa Harder, proprietor of Ex Nihilo. “It has been a personal goal to support breast cancer research and Titz-Elation is exactly the kind of event she would have loved.”

The women’s-only costume event will include fabulous food, great wine, music, outrageous costumes, touching personal stories, games and prizes and the Spoil Me Silly Because I Am Worth It silent auction.

Ex Nihilo Vineyards is located at 1525 Camp Rd., Lake Country. For more information on the Okanagan Erotic

Art Show visit www. okanaganeroticartshow. com. Tickets for Titz-

Elation are available at the winery by calling 250-766-5522.

Artists give back to the animals KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff

When Jodie Broten’s kitten needed help, she found it through the Vernon and District Animal Care Society.

Now she wants to help give back to the society that nursed Bailey back to health.

Broten is organizing a silent auction fundraiser Oct. 12 to 16 at the Bean Scene that will showcase local photographers.

“I believe in what the Animal Care Society does because they helped save one of my cats,” said Broten, who has worked at the downtown coffee house off and on over the past five years. “We’re really happy to help them out.”

The fundraiser will feature a number of local photographers, including Natalia Vignola, Jennifer Ashton, Kate Mahaits and Rick Forgo, as well as drawings by Jen Androschuk. During the week, the art work can be viewed and bids can be made to purchase the piece.

On Oct. 16, the doors will open at 6 p.m., with live music by Peter McKillop, appetizers served and a gift basket raffle. All proceeds from the raffle will go to the animal care society, along with 20 per cent of each

art work sold. Winning bids will be announced the same night.

Heather Pettit, president of the society, said Broten’s offer to host a fundraiser could not have come at a better time.

“It’s been a very hard summer for VDACS. We’ve been scrambling to find homes for close to 150 abandoned kittens and cats,” she said.

“Right now, we’re getting close to the bottom of the barrel financially but, in order to reduce the future number of unwanted animals, we need to continue paying for as many spays and neuters as our veterinary supporters — Creekside Animal Clinic and Crescent Falls Veterinary Hospital — can manage.”

Pettit said the VDACS has had about 120 abandoned and feral cats brought to them this season, and she wants to urge people to take advantage of the group’s spay/neuter assistance program because there are simply not enough homes for them all.

“The Bean Scene’s support really gives us a lift — both financially and morally — and it’s a big honour for the Animal Care Society to be chosen as the charity to benefit from this event.”

Volunteering towards literacy

“PEARL of great price” Mth. 13:46. In the depths of the sea, hidden away from human sight, pearls are found in the oyster by a grain of sand acting as an irritant. The oyster coats it with silver, the principle of REDEMPTION. The pearl must be brought to light to reveal its beauty. The pearl is a wonderful symbol of the Redeemed, developed out of TRIBULATION part of the “light of the world.” John 8:12.

The people who give their time to the Volunteer Adult Literacy Tutoring Program love reading and want to share their skills with others. Some are teachers, some are not, they all have a desire to help someone else improve their reading, writing, math and/or computer skills.

“My neighbour had been a volunteer in the program for a number of years and from what she said, it sounded interesting, like something I’d like to do,” said Lesley Hayes, who has always done work that involved helping people. “The training is really worthwhile and well presented and you learn about the different learning styles and the different ways to help the clients and we have access to a resource library and program coordinator for when we have questions.”

The clients are adults of all backgrounds, ages and skill levels who want to improve their skills for further education, work, or their own interest. The tutoring is done at the college, the public library or The Junction Literacy Centre at a time that is convenient for the client and the tutor. There is accommodation made for tutor holidays. The time is a maximum of four hours a week in two sessions of one to two hours each. Some people have tutoring for a short time while others have tutoring for two or more years.

Clients can refer themselves and there is presently a waiting time of about two months to be matched with a tutor.

“Sometimes adult learners have had a past experience that makes learning intimidating but most of them find that this is a good way to learn at their own pace in the style that suits them. We have an adaptive lab with specialized computer programs and equipment for those who need specific types of help,” said Chandra McCann, Volunteer Adult Literacy Tutoring Program coordinator.

The program is free to clients and the training is free to volunteers.

Group helps families suffering stress of caregiving Morning Star Staff

Vernon residents taking care of family members with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia are experiencing severe stress, new studies show.

They are among the more than two million informal caregivers across Canada, a new national survey shows, who are struggling to cope with the impacts of caregiver stress, including depression.

According to reports released by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), difficulty with memory, understanding and decision-making cause the most severe hardships. Caregivers were three times more frustrated when the

Christoph Ziebarth BSW MC

senior needing care had Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.

The findings come from research with more than 130,000 seniors.

And they’re no surprise, says Jennifer Hamilton, Vernon support and education coordinator for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. “Supporting a person with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia is a challenging responsibility that can feel overwhelming throughout the different stages of the disease,” she said.

People who care for someone with dementia often talk about feeling guilty, even when others reassure them that they are doing the best they can, said Hamilton.

“They believe that it

is their responsibility to provide all the care, all the time.”

To further help families coping with the impact of Alzheimer’s or related dementia, the society runs support and information

groups, one for family caregivers and the other for persons in the early stages of the disease.

They offer practical tips, a supportive environment, and a chance to learn from, and share with, others in similar

ex-cutter, I’m glad you told this girl to continue to be a support for her friend. But I’m not sure suggesting she get some exercise will help.

Although I understand it releases endorphins, this comment could further lower her selfesteem by making her think she needs to lose weight.

Here are a couple of tricks that I found effective to stop cutting: snapping a rubber band around her wrist when she has the desire to cut, and squeezing ice in her palm until it numbs. Obviously, it is important to keep away from cutting tools and other triggers. Hope this advice helps. This girl certainly isn’t alone.

ear Annie: I am 15 years old and the youngest of four children. My father and mother have had bickering matches for as long as I can remember. Their fights sometimes get physical, but not enough to do real harm.

My mother has constantly tried to improve my father’s personality and parenting skills.

He doesn’t understand how to communicate with his family, specifically his children. Each conversation includes rude comments, sarcastic remarks and hurtful words.

Well, now the physical stuff has been directed at us. His reason for attacking us was because we were defending my mother from his fists. The fact that he knocked her hand off the steering wheel while she was driving only makes it worse.

Annie, my father does not act like this in front of his parents or his friends. To them, he is perfect. But when he comes home, the littlest mistake will set him off.

I am tired of this constant fighting, and my mother has told me she wants to go to a counselor. She tried that several years ago, and Dad refused, saying he wasn’t the problem.

My mother works long hours, and I am afraid

Morning Star Staff

The Ministry of Forests is now allowing category two and three open fires throughout the North Okanagan due to a decreased risk of wildfires.

Anyone lighting an open fire must have enough people, water and equipment on hand to extinguish it.

Ensure fires are not lit or kept burning during windy conditions and that they are fully extinguished before leaving the area.

All bur ning must comply with the Ministry of Environment’s Waste Management Act and open burning smoke control regulation. For more information, go to www.bcairquality. ca.

Category two open fires burn material smaller than two metres in height and three metres in width, or stubble or grass covering less than 2,000 square metres.

Category three open fires are larger than two metres by three metres, cover an area larger than 2,000 square metres, or burn more than two piles of any size. In areas where Category three open fires are allowed, a burn registration number is required.

To request a burn registration number, call 1-888-797-1717.

The rescinding of this prohibition applies to all B.C. Parks, and Crown and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of municipalities and regional districts that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by a fire department. Check with civic authorities for any restrictions before lighting a fire.

To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call *5555 on your cell phone or toll-free to 1-800-663-5555.

Poverty subject of UBCM

T

he glass-and-cedar mansions of B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olympic playground sparkled in the sun as local government leaders arrived for their annual date with the premier.

They swung off the new Sea-to-Sky Highway to full hotels, packed restaurants, designer shops, strolling international tourists and lavish government and corporate receptions. This display of wealth and privilege offered quite a culture shock for smalltown delegates who make up Tom Fletcher the majority at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention.

So it was interesting to see poverty emerge as the unofficial theme this year.

I happened to be the only reporter in the room as delegates questioned cabinet ministers on building local economies. The first question, tossed out as an icebreaker, was about B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minimum wage, frozen at $8 an hour since Gordon Campbell imposed his market philosophy on the province in 2001. Labour Minister Murray Coellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s admission that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost time to raise it caused a feeding frenzy by the city media, bored as they are with small resource towns and their hard-luck stories.

Coell tried to skate backwards when TV cameras cornered him the next day, but his original point stood. The B.C. Liberals long ago eliminated income tax and medical premiums for low-wage workers, and even subsidize their rent, but the cost of living keeps rising. It appears B.C. will soon grudgingly join Newfoundland and Nunavut at $10 an hour.

Lost in all this were the real subjects of the economic panel, such as a plea for provincial help to keep farms viable. Nobody talks about an $8 minimum wage for farms, corner stores or other sevenday-a-week family businesses, where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly a theory.

As expected, the most divisive issue at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convention was a proposed shift to four-year terms

B.C. VIEWS

for councils. Here again, a canyon separates urban and rural, rich and poor.

A Vancouver councillor now makes $61,674 a year, plus expenses for things like the UBCM convention. Not bad for a part-time job. In B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smallest towns, when you calculate the actual hours for councillors you find another group that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make even Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s miserly minimum wage.

It was these folks who voted down the idea of four-year terms. Three years is enough of a commitment.

The poor were thrust into the spotlight again when Campbell took the stage for the traditional convention-closing speech.

After a fond look back at the Olympics, he imagined himself and Finance Minister Colin Hansen as a figure skating pair for a little self-deprecating humour about the hasty introduction of the harmonized sales tax.

With the federal clock ticking, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we rushed out, and we threw the HST up in the air, and we promptly fell on our faces,â&#x20AC;? Campbell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, we soldiered on with the program. Some were saying that the only thing we had really mastered was the death spiral.â&#x20AC;?

Then he got serious. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plot the HST before the election. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lie, but he accepts now that many people will never believe it.

Then Campbell threw his latest pitch in a longshot bid to save the HST and his government via referendum next fall. The HST helps the poor.

Tax rebates for more than a million low-income people add up to $230 a year for a single senior, or $920 a year for a low-income family of four.

Campbell did not return to the argument that the HST helps resource industries recover and grow. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too vague for people intent on checking their restaurant bills.

He also knows the media are bored by economics, just as they are the sob stories of small-town unemployment.

Washout closes forestry roads Black Press

Anyone navigating the back roads between the Shuswap and Revelstoke is advised of a travel alert.

The Ministry of Forests encourages backcountry motorists to avoid forest service roads in the Seymour Arm and Malakwa areas.

The Perry River, South Ratchford and Fifth Creek Forest Service will be closed indefinitely due to washouts.

The primary access route to Seymour Arm, via the Seymour Arm

Forest Service Road, remains open.

The ministry reports the washouts are due

to a naturally occurring, rain-on-snow event that caused a significant torrent flow that washed

out five bridges and one major culvert, making large sections of the roads impassable.

Community-wide yard sale benefits organization Morning Star Staff

Lake Country residents planning to hold a yard or garage sale this fall, would be wise to choose Saturday, Oct. 23 to do it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the date the Central Okanagan Regional Waste Reduction office is spearheading the first community-wide Yard Sale Saturday event.

The event is open to residents in the Kelowna district, including Lake Country.

Residents are encouraged to hold yard or garage sales on this date, and will get free promotion of their sale, plus complimentary yard sale signs.

To register log on to www.regionaldistrict.com

and click on the event logo and icon. Residents without access to the internet can call the Waste Reduction Office to register.

Registered yard sales will be posted on the Waste Reduction Office website for download, as will maps with sale locations flagged so shoppers can plan their

routes. Maps and the list of registered sales will also be available for pickup at the Waste Reduction Office.

The deadline to sign up for Yard Sale Saturday is Oct. 21.

For residents with leftover merchandise after their sale, or for those who simply want unneeded items picked up,

the Big Brothers Big Sisters Renew Crew will be picking up leftovers on the Monday following the sale day.

They will accept small household items in good condition that fit into a box or bag, including clean clothing and linens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Proceeds from the sale of the articles collected

important to take time to separate hype from fact.

Another example was the disappearance of the Sockeye Salmon reported on the B.C. coast.

I received e-mails accusing our government of protecting fish farming, disregarding fish management, over-fishing, etc., etc.

As a result, our government set up the Cohen Inquiry to examine where the sockeye salmon went, as well as review fish management policies and what, if any, influence fish-farming had on Salmon stocks.

Apparently, the sockeye only disappeared from our sight but they were there and in record numbers.

Today we are experiencing the largest sockeye salmon run ever seen in this century â&#x20AC;&#x201C; estimates are over 37 million fish!!

(A typical run is 10 million during the fourth or peak year of the run.)

I believe in environmental stewardship, responsible environmental protection, and full circle use of products.

But I also believe that living in fear and setting public policy as a reaction to that fear is not prudent.

Common sense and a steady hand will help government use our financial resources to better protect our environment and public health and safety.

New strategy aims for more fire-resilient province KARL YU Black Press

B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forest ministry has introduced a new wildfire management strategy that aims to make the province more fire-resilient.

The 22-page B.C. Wildland Fire Management Strategy is an update of a 2004 report, and the new strategy seeks to meet five goals: â&#x2013; Further reduction of wildfire risk around communities and public infrastructure through pro-active fuel management; â&#x2013; Planning and controlled burning to encourage healthy ecosystems and prevent fuel build-up; â&#x2013; Management of certain fires for natural processes and concentrating suppression response on high-priority wildfires; â&#x2013; Incorporation of wildland fire management through the encouragement of natural resource, community and land planning and; â&#x2013; Raising public awareness about wildland fire management.

Forests Minister Pat Bell says that the biggest single shift in the strategy was noted in goal four of the report; ensuring, â&#x20AC;&#x153;that plans adequately consider the management of wildland fire at all appropriate scales in order to reduce hazards and risks, achieve healthy forests and grasslands and ensure resourceefficient fire suppression.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The strategic priorities that are noted in the plan that are probably most significant are we believe that we need to start considering fire as part of our crown resource management plan,â&#x20AC;? Bell said.

Bells says that it will allow the ministry to consider what would happen in the event of some of the very large fires this year, such as fires at Meldrum Creek, near Williams Lake, and Binta Lake, south of Burns Lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed to probably reconsider how we manage these fires historically,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think that by incorporating wildfire

management planning into the land use planning process and look-

ing at the larger complexes, that we can be more effective in the

way that we manage these fires.â&#x20AC;?

The ministry says

there were more than 1,600 wildfires in 2010 with nearly 338,000

hectares of forest and grassland consumed and as of last Tuesday,

over $200 million had been spent on fire suppression.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Someone who has access to some inside information is likely to pass it on to you, because s/he knows it could be valuable. Protect this source so that it will remain open.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Pay heed to any hunches you get concerning financial matters. It is quite likely that you’ll be blessed with a sixth sense that can serve you well when it comes to buying or selling.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Employing diplomacy and tact will have a greater impact than playing it tough. Keep this in mind if you are negotiating a delicate matter.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Concentrate on your mental attributes and leave the muscle work for another day.

It’s likely to be the projects that permit you to utilize your artistic imagination that will turn out to be rewarding.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Often, you’ve got to prime the pump in order to generate the flow you’re looking for. To stimulate a commercial arrangement, a bit of seed money may be required.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) As long as you don’t prematurely broadcast your intentions to the wrong people, an ambition that you’ve been nurturing for a long time has excellent chances of being fulfilled.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Some hopeful conditions will soon replace those nasty influences that have caused much anxiety and concern lately.

Envision positive result so these favorable happenings can occur.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) It would be best if you could conduct your affairs in a controlled, expected fashion. Specify what objectives you need to achieve and then move forward as you always have.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Events are likely to provide the catalyst for strengthening a relationship that you already treasure. It will warm your cockles in the process.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Yield to any urges you get to serve your fellow man.

Tremendous feelings of gratification will come from any situation in which you are working for a noble cause.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) When promoting something special, try to do it with as much flair as you can manage, as much mustard as you can muster. Employing a bit of the ol’ razzle-dazzle will draw attention away from your competitor.

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.

Moderately Confused

BEFORE

Bridge by Phillip Alder Neil Armstrong, when making the 2005 graduation speech at the University of Southern California, said, “I hope you become comfortable with the use of logic without being deceived into concluding that logic will inevitably lead you to the correct conclusion.”

At the bridge table, the opening lead might -- or might not -- lead you to the correct conclusion.

Today’s deal occurred in a social game. What should West lead against four hearts?

If West had passed, North would have responded two no-trump, asking his partner whether he was minimum or maximum. After the threeclub overcall, though, North took a shot at game, remembering that a three-

heart response would be purely competitive, not game-invitational.

(A solution to this problem that I first met in New Zealand might appeal to you. Play that responder’s double of a threelevel overcall is gameinvitational in opener’s major.)

It would be normal for West to lead the spade king (assuming his partnership plays ace from A-K-x).

Then, when he cashes the ace, he would be announcing a doubleton.

If West does that, then shifts to the club king, declarer should guess the hearts. It is unlikely that West would adopt this line of defense with only one trump.

At the table, West led the club king: ace, three, four. South, knowing

AFTER

that clubs were 6-1 (East would have played highlow with a doubleton), was aware that the odds had changed in the trump suit. He cashed dummy’s ace, then played a heart to his jack. Disaster -- West won with the queen and cashed his three black-suit winners.

Peter Reeves August 15, 1934 - Oct 4, 2010

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the loss of our dear husband, father and grandfather. Bob passed away at home in Vernon.

Bob is survived by his loving wife Dianna, who shared together a life of love and heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s companionship which began in high school in 1962.

By his much loved son and daughter, Todd (Katrina) and Brooke (Don); also by his treasured grandchildren Tyler and Jesica Ferguson, of whom he was a very proud Grampa.

Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing is also a deep loss to sisters Charlotte (Cliff) Sawatsky and Marjorie (John) Paonessa, mother-in-law Margaret Lackey, sisters-in-law Connie (Jim) McAvoy, Debi (Jack) Giroux, JoAnn (Graham) Barber and brother-in-law Kevin (Mary) Lackey, as well as many much loved and loving nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.

Bob was predeceased by his mother and father, David and Ann, two brothers David and Douglas, and his father-in-law Herman Lackey.

Bob was awarded a full hockey scholarship in 1963 to attend Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. This was a time of great fellowship and achievement; the four years of playing right wing on the Cornell hockey team culminated with winning the NCAA hockey championship in 1967. Bob was a brother of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. Bob graduated from Cornell in May 1967 and continued graduate studies at the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon. Hockey continued as a life-long passion of Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, lacing the skates every season until 2009. Many a team member and opposition team member can attest to his prowess on the ice. Bob was a forty year, ever loyal fan of the Vancouver Canucks.

1972 brought Bob and Dianna and their family to Vernon where he served in the position of Administrator at Vernon Jubilee Hospital until 1992. Bob was a Vernon Rotary Club member for many years and later the Silver Star Rotary Club. Bob and Dianna were involved as committee members with Young Life Ministries of Vernon and Grace Bible Church.

Bob and Dianna carried on their love and appreciation of landscapes as owners and operators of Interior Landscape until 2008 when it was passed on to son Todd. During these years, Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to hard work and his creative side shone as many landscapes and water gardens in the community reďŹ&#x201A;ect his talents.

Throughout the sudden onset of illness, Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quiet Christian faith gave him a sense of peace and conďŹ dence. We are thankful for the man Bob was and for the memories and love we hold in our hearts.

Service of remembrance is to be held at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, October 11, 2010 at Grace Bible Church, 5661 Silver Star Road, with a reception to follow.

Pastor Larry Woelke will be ofďŹ ciating.

Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chosen recipients for donations of remembrance are the North Okanagan Gleaners, 9728 SpringďŹ eld Road, Coldstream, BC V1B 3E5 or Vernon Special Hockey, 8120 Whetzell Drive, Coldstream, BC V1B 1P6

Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey of life ended on Monday, October 4, 2010 after a very brief stay at Hospice House.

Peter shared his life with his wife Annette of 48 years; his son Chris (Shelley); his daughter Mandy (Rob); his ďŹ ve grandchildren Connor, Brett, Brittany, Kelly and Debbie and his extended family members from the Websterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and the Creelmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

We as a family would like to thank the many people who have supported us through the last few years: Gateby Day Program, Dr Gavin Smart, Coldstream Meadows, the staff at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital, and the loving care given Peter by his special team at Heritage Square, in particular Pauline, Tess, Tammylee, Dave, Arlett, Sharon and Lucy, who treated him with love and dignity.

On Tuesday, October 5, Peter realized his dream of attending university as he donated his body for Anatomical Studies at the University of British Columbia. At Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request there will not be a formal service. For those wishing to do so donations may be made to the charity of your choice in memory of Peter.

Peter will be missed but never forgotten.

MAELAND MAELAND, Gwendolyn Elizabeth, age 69 - retired teacher - passed away peacefully on Sunday, Oct 3, 2010. She is survived by her son Brent and daughter-in-law Jacqui, son Chris and daughterin-law Jane, and daughter Kari and son-in-law Bruce; cherished grandmother of Mackenzie, Ceilidh, Jordan, Cameron and Andre; dear sister of Judy, and sister-in-law of Anne and Bodil. Gwendolyn was predeceased by her husband Jan, her parents Robert and Elsie, and infant brother Robert. Gwen was an avid member of PEO and leaves behind many great sisters. During her last few months she stayed quite busy ensuring that all of her projects were completed on time. According to Hospice House, they believe she set a new record for the amount of friends that came to visit during her stay. Special thanks goes to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;familyâ&#x20AC;? at Hospice House that helped her with her transition. A celebration of her life will take place at the Deer Park Restaurant, 9192 Tronson, on 23 Oct. from 1-4 pm. In memoriam donations to the North Okanagan Hospice Society (*www.nohs.ca) would be greatly appreciated.
