Bus driver comes to the rescue JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
If it weren’t for the actions of a bus driver, a Vernon senior’s cries for help may have never been heard. The senior citizen is a regular passenger on Vernon transit. “She’s on the bus two, three, four times a day,” said Bev Andrus, transit driver for First Canada in Vernon. So when the elderly woman hadn’t been seen on the bus for a couple of days, worry started to settle in among those who know her. One of her friends approached Andrus about the situation Tuesday, saying the senior, who lives alone, opens her blinds everyday. But they weren’t open Monday or Tuesday. “I picked up on that she was quite concerned,” said Andrus. So on her lunch break Tuesday, Andrus decided to stop by the lady’s house to check on her. It’s a good thing she did, explains John Peck, Vernon Regional Transit manager. “When she knocked on the door and hollered for (her), she heard the distressing answer that she had fallen and couldn’t get up,” said Peck. “(She) was in her bathroom where she had fallen.” Andrus suspects her faithful rider had been laying there possibly as long as a day or two, in a chilled 60 degree Fahrenheit (15 C) home. Since the door was locked, emergency crews were called to gain access to the home and transport the injured senior to hospital. “The actions of Beverly Andrus went above and beyond the call of duty, and according to the paramedics saved (her) life,” said Peck. The woman’s son, who lives in Manitoba, is grateful Andrus came to the rescue of his mother, whose name is not being released for security reasons. “She not only checked on her and found

Vernon Transit driver Bev Andrus is being credited for saving a senior’s life. When one of her regular riders hadn’t been seen for a couple days, Andrus went to her house to check on her and found the senior had fallen in her home. She is now recovering at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. her, she actually arranged to have the window replaced,” said the son, of a door window that police had to break to gain access to the home. “You don’t find too many people that travel the distance she did.” The woman is still in hospital where doctors are undergoing tests to determine why she couldn’t get up.
Her son says, along with the early onset of dementia, she won’t be able to live on her own again. While visiting her regular passenger in the hospital Wednesday, Andrus says the senior was quite grateful for the rescue. “I sure didn’t think a bus driver was going to save my life,” she told Andrus. In the 20 to 25 years Andrus has been a
transit driver, she has never been faced with such a situation. “I’ve helped people who have fallen on the sidewalk but never anything this dramatic.” She credits the senior’s friend for her persistence and bringing her concerns forward to the driver. “I probably wouldn’t have thought much of it. I’m thankful her friend was so concerned.”
RCMP alarmed by cuts to city budget The Vernon RCMP are reviewing resources after city hall reduced spending levels. Council has cut the number of budgeted police officers from 52 to 50 as part of the 2011 financial plan. “We’ve been billing for 52 officers and that allows us to maintain enhanced service levels like downtown patrols,” said Supt. Reg
Burgess. “It will definitely be tight. We will have to see if we can maintain the service level with 50 officers. We will do our best to maintain the service level.” The change from 52 to 50 officers will save about $172,000 and Coun. Jack Gilroy defends council’s decision. “We’ve never carried that many officers. Sometimes it’s 48 or 49,” he said.
Mayor Wayne Lippert doesn’t believe there will be a significant impact to the detachment. “We’re not losing any police officers because we’ve had 50 on average,” he said. “There are times where we’ve had 51 officers and there are other times with 48 or 49. We’re just reflecting what we have now.” Beyond police, the city is looking at how bylaw enforcement officers operate.
We help put a roof between it and more Canadians. w w w.TheRightAgents.com
“We could trim back the hours they work,” said Leon Gous, chief administrative officer.” Lippert doesn’t foresee reducing bylaw officers but says staff has grown in recent years. “We brought five bylaw officers on because we didn’t have the manpower in the RCMP. We have brought RCMP levels up,” he said. Another area of law enforcement is also being considered as part of the city budget.

“Community policing may also cut back its hours for the summer students who deal with cleaning up graffiti because there is a feeling they may be doing what businesses should be doing,” said Gous. Lippert says there’s a fine line between reducing expenses and ensuring public safety. “We don’t want to go backwards. We put uniforms and programs in place for a reason and council believes those reasons are still valid.”

Balloon Fiesta ready to soar JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
A kaleidoscope of colours is about to fill the skies of Vernon. Vernon Winter Carnival’s Balloon Fiesta takes flight for its 19th year Feb. 4 to 6 (weather permitting). Hot air balloon pilots from across the globe will be flying their balloons over the city throughout the weekend. “So people from any vantage point can look up and see the variety of balloons and colours,” said Brittany Sjoblom, Vernon Winter Carnival office manager. The community will also get to see the giant airships light up Polson Park during the Balloon Glow at 6 p.m. Feb. 4, following the Queen Silver Star coronation (note: parking will be
“People from any vantage point can look up and see the variety of balloons.” — Brittany Sjoblom limited in the park for handicapped only). While the weekend event is sure to provide some entertainment for those on the ground, the pilots will also be having some fun of their own. During the flights pilots participate in hare and the hound races, where the balloon maestro drops a bean bag somewhere around town and the other pilots compete to get their bean bag the closest. Sunday’s flight features a flag grab, where a substantial cash prize
is available. “It’s a very, very hard thing to win,” said Sjoblom of the difficult game. The pilots, who are coming from as far as Alberta, Texas and Turkey, are in need of some extra hands to handle the giant balloons. Anyone interested in joining a crew can contact Jean Haug at 250-542-9706 or e-mail bjhaug@shaw.ca. Crew training will be available for any new crew or anyone wanting a refresher at Polson

News Group to pitch sports facility
Officer alerts family to fire
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Plans to pitch a $7.8 million sports facility to Greater Vernon taxpayers are gaining momentum. On Wednesday, the North Okanagan Regional District board directed staff to prepare a report on creating a committee that would promote a sports complex next to Okanagan College prior to a referendum. “There are individuals who want to see this come to fruition and this allows them to get the answers to the questions they are going to be asked by people in their groups,� said director Patrick Nicol. “Get a small, effective group Patrick Nicol together and they can tell the story that needs to be told — that this is about vision and looking to the future.� The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee had recommended to NORD that a committee be pursued to assist with the referendum, which could be held this November. But before there is a vote, the District of Coldstream must get approval to have sports facilities permitted within the Agricultural Land Reserve. The proposed complex could include an Olympicsize, rubberized running track; an artificial turf field for football, soccer, rugby and field lacrosse; facilities for high-jumping, pole-vault and discus-throwing; covered seating for 400 spectators; a 4,575-square-foot field house with change rooms; and a 1,948-square-foot building with washrooms and meeting space. NORD has entered into a 40-year lease with Okanagan College to use the 10 acres of land at $1 a year. While he believes a number of residents support the concept, Nicol admits sports groups and politicians may have to hustle to get endorsement at the polls. “In these economic times, we will find some thoughtful people who may not think this is the time to do this,� he said. “But when you look at it over 20 years (the period to pay back the loan), we’re investing in the future.�

Domestic Appeal for Agricultural Water Rate Applications
Styrofoam Recycling Successful in the North Okanagan
The Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) wishes to remind Greater Vernon Water Utility customers with outside water services (standpipes), not having BC Assessment Authority’s “Farm Classification�, that they must install a water meter prior to Spring turn-on. Spring turn-on is expected to be April 15, 2011. Customers without “Farm Classification� but engaged in bona fide farming activity may wish to submit a Domestic Appeal for Agricultural Water Rate application.
The Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) is pleased to see more than 10,000 lbs of processed Styrofoam from its recycling program. This Styrofoam recycling service is unique in British Columbia and Canada and is currently only available to small number of communities across the country.
Please note the following requirements for qualification for the agricultural water rate: • For water allocations less than or equal to 0.82 hectares [2 acres], agricultural income must be above $1,000 • For water allocations greater than 0.82 hectares [2 acres], agricultural income must be above $2,500 NOTE: Verification of agricultural income levels is required and must be included with every application. Applications and fees must be submitted to RDNO before February 15, 2011. Applications received after February 15, 2011 will be subject to a non-refundable late fee. Forms may be obtained at the offices of the RDNO, District of Coldstream, and the City of Vernon, or from our website.
The recent free drop-off period in January indicates that local residents are keen to divert this product from the garbage stream! The RDNO encourages all residents to set aside clean Styrofoam egg cartons, meat trays, cups, containers, blocks and packing peanuts for processing. Ensure that tape, stickers, plastic film, food, soil, foam or Styrofoam insulation are not included in with your items as the machine cannot process them. There is a $3 charge to bring Styrofoam to Venture Training Centre, Interior Freight and Bottle Depot, the Greater Vernon Recycling and Disposal Facility and the Armstrong Spallumcheen Recycling and Disposal Facility. This charge assists with the cost to collect, sort and transport the material for its eventual processing into items such as bike helmets, picture and mirror frames and more. Take advantage of the next free Styrofoam drop-off period on Thursday, June 9th, 2011.

Water Act process draws debate dation upon which the Water Act was built was very different 100 years ago.” The government plans to regulate groundwater use in certain areas, and that is a concern for Hansma. “If municipalities draw from wells and streams, there will be a significant impact on budgets because treatment facilities will have to deal with well water,” he said. Beyond municipalities, Hansma says treatment costs could become onerous for small, rural utilities. “We need to know
how this will affect us as a region.” There is also some concern that the provincial government could cancel licenses communities require to access water from lakes and creeks. “We have the new Duteau Creek treatment plant worth $30 million and they could come along and say your license has ended,” said director Mike Macnabb. There is a limited timeline to provide feedback to the government so NORD staff will report back to the board Feb. 2.

United Way falls short of goal RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Community groups will still get an infusion of cash despite a fundraiser coming up short. The United Way is starting to receive grant applications from about 28 non-profit agencies for 2011. “Some groups are looking for less and some are seeking more,” said Linda Yule, executive director. United Way faces a challenge because it only raised $229,000 or 76 per cent of its $300,000 campaign goal. Yule believes there are a number of reasons for the fundraiser target not being achieved. “Economic conditions are a factor,” she said. “Some people have been laid off and some companies have downsized.” Employee payroll deductions were up during the campaign but corporate and individual donations were down. Yule says there may also be a lack of public awareness about what United Way does. “We can’t point to a piece of equipment or a food hamper. We’re talking about community programs.” Groups that have received support before include Abbeyfield House, the Enderby Family Resource Centre, the Falkland First Responders, the
Deb White Mortgage Broker
Q: A:
When you receive a renewal form from your current lender, do you simply sign it without knowing all your options?
If you do, you could be paying a higher rate, and end up with a mortgage that might not be your best option. Think of your mortgage renewal as a valuable opportunity. An opportunity not only to get a great interest rate, but also get a mortgage that better fits your financial needs. Instead, talk to a Mortgage Broker. A Mortgage Broker will discuss your mortgage options, and can arrange a rate hold for you. As our finances and life change, so do the mortgage options that will better our needs and goals. For example, you may wish to access your home’s equity to consolidate other debts, or perhaps take the well deserved vacation. At renewal time, make sure you get the most from your financing.
North Okanagan Family Resource Centre, the First Nations Friendship Centre, Kindale and the White Valley Community Resource Centre. According to Yule, it’s critical for the public to stand behind non-profits that provide necessary programs. “A lot of our agencies have had difficulty accessing government funds and yet there is more demand for services,” she said.

children with not enough food or warm clothes, challenging housing situations and families with poor employment prospects. A community like Enderby that already had socio-economic challenges before the recession, is even more challenged when the economy is faltering.” One of the challenges is a lack of government offices in Enderby, and as a result, residents in need turn to non-profit agencies with limited budgets. “We often wind up with families in crisis at our door,” said Marlene Mydske, executive director of the Enderby Community Resource Centre.
“With people losing their jobs, we’re seeing a lot of people who are hungry.” The centre wants to hire a crisis intervention counsellor, but $26,000 a year is required. “We need to start problem-solving,” said Mydske of the need for a counsellor to work with families. “We need to help them solve these issues.” Mydske recently made a presentation to Enderby council about current conditions. “It made us realize the problem is at a greater level than we understood,” said Mayor Dee Wejr. Wejr doesn’t believe the city can get directly involved.
“We don’t have tax dollars to help but personally we’re looking at how to help. What can we do as citizens to help?” she said. Shipmaker says the city may have to lobby government to increase support for social programs. “This would be good especially during our leadership campaign,” he said referring to Shuswap MLA George Abbott who is seeking to become Liberal leader. Mydske is urging all residents to become aware of the situation facing their neighbours. “We’re asking people to talk to their MLA and tell them what’s going on in Enderby,” she said.

Wendy’s serving up dreams RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Okanagan residents can make spirits soar for a special group of children. The 17th annual Wendy’s Dreamlift Day goes Wednesday and all proceeds will help send 80 kids with severe physical disabilities or life-threatening illnesses to Disneyland. “It’s not a Wendy’s event. It’s a community event,” said Akbal Mund, with Inland Restaurants, which owns the nine Wendy’s in the ThompsonOkanagan. Almost $100,000 was raised throughout the region last year, and huge crowds are expected to ring up the cash registers again this year. “It’s the most fabulous day in the valley,” said Steve Tuck, with the Sunshine Foundation of Canada, which organizes the Dreamlift flights to Disneyland. “People will wait in line and it’s all because of this cause. People have really embraced this cause.” During Wendy’s Dreamlift Day, all the proceeds from the day’s sales, as well as restaurant staff, management and owner’s wages, will go to Dreamlift flights. “The philanthropy by Inland Restaurants is unparalleled,” said Tuck. “I can’t say enough good about these people.” Besides Wendy’s staff, local celebrities and dignitaries will be working behind the scenes. In Vernon, they will include city politicians, the RCMP, the Vernon Vipers, para-

Wendy’s representatives Dorothy Schley and Braydon Lutgen warm up their Sunshine Smiles Wednesday in preparation for Wendy’s Dreamlift Day on Wednesday. Proceeds will go to the Sunshine Foundation’s Dreams For Kids. The next Dreamlift flight is scheduled for later this year, and the experience is overwhelming for children who face some serious health issues. “We take them out of their world for a day,” said Tuck.

Sure, now it snows
A
s the white stuff continues to fall and some of us might be getting depressed about the fact that spring seems a long ways off, it might be worth taking the time to muse over all things snow (hey what else are we going to do until March?).... ......like, gee where was all this stuff last January and February when the world was making tracks for Vancouver and Whistler for the Olympics? Obviously Mother Nature wasn’t on board with B.C. hosting the world last year as taxpayers were Glenn Mitchell on the hook for trucking snow from Manning Park to Cypress, which seems ridiculous when you look outside this year. Actually it seemed pretty ridiculous at the time too but I guess they did what they had to do (although Cypress might have been a tad optimistic host for events in the first place). The Games turned out pretty wonderful in the end, all those gold medals and emotionally charged moments like that hockey game and such, but we were the butt of some late-night talk show jibes in the early going (why would they allow the Winter Games to be held where they don’t have winter, etc.) and it created a lot of anxiety for organizers and fans, not to mention costs for the rest of us. Which makes all the snow this year (apparently Mt. Washington on the Island has a couple miles deep of the stuff) more than a little ironic, but then that’s weather-dependent situations for you and why I could never handle being responsible for running a business that depends solely on the weather (although they all do to a certain extent). I have enough trouble with being responsible for stuff that you actually have some control over, although ultimately in this control-freak era it’s kind of funny to see us humans tripped up every so often. Ha, ha........ .....and I honestly don’t mind shovelling the

snow that much, as I’m finally getting some help from my kids and it’s good exercise and fresh air and it’s fairly light these days. However, I sure notice people’s different approaches to maintaining their driveways and stairs. Some are amazing. Obviously some are out before they go to work, dutifully clearing the snow before anyone tramples or drives on it to keep the thoroughfares clean of any possible icy patches developing later on. I salute you. Then there’s yours truly. Usually being in such a rush in the morning, I just have time to clear four narrow lanes for my wife and I to attempt to back up our respective vehicles down our driveway without compacting the snow and making it impossible to clear later when we have more time. Alas, my back-up skills or my geometric calculations, or maybe both, are way off and I end up veering off the cleared-off paths almost instantaneously creating hard-packed tracks that permanently (for a day or two anyway) display my inadequacies for all the neighbourhood to see. However it should be noted there are some that are even less concerned with snow removal than yours truly. I would call them the “it’s-allgonna-melt-anyways crowd,” and I do sympathize as I’m probably closer in spirit to them than the spic-and-span set. So there’s room for all in my world, unless you happen to be one of the few who thinks it’s OK to move the snow on your property onto the roadways. It’s not. It’s more than just annoying, as well as unCanadian, and if I believed in bylaws I would say we need one to deal with this problem. Instead I’ll just say it’s common sense and good manners to deal with what falls on your property on your property and you shouldn’t expect someone else to pick up after you, especially when it can cause driving difficulties for your neighbours. Nuff said..... ......and is anybody keeping track of snowpack this year as our water rates get hiked dramatically yet again? At least we should be able to fill our pools this year, it will just cost a lot more. Luckily my blow-up one doesn’t take too much H2O.
It would be easy to accuse Vernon council of ignoring public safety after hearing that the number of budgeted police officers has gone from 52 to 50. However, that would be more of a gut reaction than reality. One has to consider that in recent years, the city has directed considerable financial resources towards hiring additional police officers and bylaw enforcement officers. Community policing has also received significant support. We all remember back to a time when residents and merchants complained about the extent of crime downtown. Cenotaph Park was virtually off limits for law-abiding citizens and some employees were reluctant to walk to their cars in the dark. Times have changed and while there is still crime, the common perception is that downtown is a much safer place to be. The RCMP suggest that shifting from 52 to 50 budgeted officers will make it challenging to maintain services. However, the city claims staffing varies from 48 to 51 depending on circumstances and nobody will lose their job. Which scenario is correct? We will have to wait and see. It should be pointed out that two officers cost about $172,000 a year — that’s considerable when $246,416 equates to a one per cent tax increase in the city. Given the impact the recession has created for many residents and businesses, council must make some difficult decisions as part of the 2011 budget. No city department got exactly what it wanted. In the end, though, we are confident the RCMP will continue to provide the high level of service we have come to expect in the community.

MLA misses the mark
I
write in response to the recent article in The Morning Star outlining local MLA Eric Foster’s opinions on issues affecting Vernon and B.C. Two comments require a response. Firstly, the article quotes him as trumpeting the foresight of the health ministry in building the two additional floors on the new hospital addition. The quote stated, “The ministry knew we needed them or they wouldn’t have put those two floors on.” Selective memory is a wonderful thing. The reason the two floors were added was not the foresight of the ministry but because of the tremendous effort of the local community opposing the lack of hospital beds in Vernon. The additional floors were added in response to the furore brought
about by the lack of foresight of the ministry. The second point is that he still supports the HST, saying it is good for business and for consumers. Based on the reports and statistics I have read, the majority of British Columbians do not agree with
FREEDOM BUS FOR DOGS At that time of year when giving some times gets blurred with getting, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to do both. I was asked to drive a woman who was going to Bellingham, Wash. to take part in a dog rescue from L.A. and was not comfortable with the snow and ice conditions we experienced then Being recently laid off, and a dog lover, I agreed with out hesitation to go on this adventure. After driving to Vernon and picking up a rental van, we set off to Surrey where we were to meet three other volunteers from Courtney and Vancouver. We eventually arrived at the home of a dog-fostering volunteer close to the border. All of the volunteers slept on couches or on bed rolls on the floor, knowing that 52 dogs were being driven to a meeting point in Bellingham, packed in crates for the 17-hour journey from the mean streets of L.A. It was a choice of Canada or die. It all started when Steve at Top Dog Kennels in Kelowna received a call asking him to take two pit bull puppies that were to be euthanized. He agreed and then contacted Beth Gibson at Between Friends Animal Rescue in Vernon, another one-person volunteer rescue organization. Between them, they thought, “Well if we can rescue two, let’s rescue more on the same transport.” Hats off to them both. They put the word out to two other small volunteer rescue organizations, made calls to shelters in L.A. and between them organized a large van that bought 52 dogs, all to be euthanized,
him. We cannot justify increases in consumer taxes and the subsequent reductions in the disposable income of taxpayers is “good for consumers.” Mr. Foster is on record as saying that the HST is the single-most effective move that we could make
through customs to Canada. Chihuahuas, pit bull puppies, Labs — most have come from good homes where their families can no longer afford to keep them due to the recession. One pure bred pit bull puppy — lying next to me on the bed snoring as I type this — is Silva. She was an evidence dog. She has been kept in confinement for three months while her owners where charged with cruelty after pulling some of her toe nails out and other cruel actions to make her mean, hoping to make her a fighter. It is just not in poor Silva. All she wants to do is cuddle. After the case, she was scheduled to be euthanized as the shelters in L.A. are overwhelmed. Ruby, a 17-week, red nose pit bull puppy has her ribs, spine and haunches sticking out. In spite of being half-starved, all she wants to do is wiggle her bum. You have to be careful not to step on her as she happily follows you around. We made it Beth, in spite of snow, ice and rolledover cars on the highway. You should be very proud of yourself. You and Steve saved 52 dogs. For anyone wishing to foster or adopt one of these rescues, please call Beth for information on small dogs, or Steve at Top Dog Kennels for the large breeds. My thanks to you both for allowing me to be a part of this. Take a bow, you deserve it. John Wardley INVOLVE FIRST NATIONS I am writing regarding the North Okanagan
to spur economic recovery and job growth. The statistical evidence thus far has not supported this view. The December 2010 employment numbers are in and while Canada’s employment numbers were positive overall, B.C.’s unemployment rate increased from 6.9 per cent in November to 7.6 per cent in December. B.C. lost 22,000 jobs in December, 19,900 of which were full-time positions, and has lost 10,000 jobs in the construction section alone in the last year. The jobless rate in other Western provinces who don’t have the HST are; Alberta 5.6 per cent, Saskatchewan 5.5 per cent and Manitoba 5.2 per cent. Is the HST good for business and the consumer? Hardly. Mark Olsen
Regional District and provincial government's refusal to pay invoices from the Splats'in First Nation for work that they did in reply to a NORD request for input on the regional growth strategy. NORD has initiated a process and the Canadian courts have ruled that the First Nations must play a meaningful role in the decision-making process. So far, the local and provincial governments are going by the letter of the law instead of the spirit of the law. The Splats'in band is participating but doesn't have comparable financial and staff resources to continue providing a thorough response. This situation is like asking a team to participate in a game where you have made the schedule and the rules, but you don't ensure that the other team has the equipment and the players. When they indicate a willingness to participate in your game, you tell them they are on their own. The regional district is not the only one playing the Grinch. Both the federal and provincial governments have a responsibility to ensure the first inhabitants of this unceded land can participate in a meaningful way as required by Canadian law. Instead of feigning no responsibility, the three levels of government need to work together to ensure that the fourth level of government has the resources to participate in this process. As a taxpayer, I want to see all four levels of government participating. Bill Darnell

Nurses seek enhanced ER care
“Proudly dl Independent d d — Locally Owned & Operated” by Butcher Boys Ent. Ltd.
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Nurses believe progress is being made on overcrowding at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Representatives from the B.C. Nurses Union met recently with the Interior Health Authority to discuss conditions in the emergency department. “The BCNU was pleasantly surprised that IHA listened to concerns about patient safety and overcrowding,” said Christine Sorensen, regional chairperson. “We came away cautiously optimistic that we have been heard.” Among the initiatives
“There is the potential for a really good ER department in Vernon.” — Christine Sorensen Sorensen believes the recent improvements are transitional until the new patient care tower opens in the fall. “There will be issues with the new building but if we can establish good communications now, there is the potential for a really good ER department in Vernon,” she said. “But we have to start working on it right now.”
that have been launched are increased space, additional nursing staff and a manager to deal with immediate issues in the emergency room. Sorensen’s only complaint is over what she sees as a lack of communication by IHA. “The public and some of our own nurses on the frontline are not aware of these changes,” she said.

Remodelling a bathroom or putting down laminate flooring might be a weekend pastime for some women, but it could also be a sign of a new career. That’s exactly what led a Vernon woman to sign up for Okanagan College’s Gateway to the Building Trades for Women Program – a 12-week course that introduces women to a wide range of trades from carpentry and joinery, to plumbing, electrical, drywall, roofing and even automotive service. “There are not a lot of women in that field and there seems to be a demand for it,” said Danielle Boileau, 43. “I like the practical side of being in a trade, and the instructors were all great.” Boileau worked in retail and owned a souvenir shop in Whistler before she moved to the Okanagan. Last fall she heard about the Women in Trades program, signed up, tried out all the various trades and is now enrolled in the refrigeration and air conditioning mechanic program in Penticton. An information sessions for the Gateway program is taking place at the Kalamalka campus Tuesday at 5:30
urban schools each day. “Alan will leave a transportation system that functions efficiently, effectively and boasts an outstanding safety record,” said Turanski. “One of the best in the province, if not the best — he is truly an outstanding individual and we wish him well in his retirement.” Mark Olsen, president of CUPE, which represents district support staff, and is a school bus driver himself, had high praise for Hemming. “We are losing a fine man and he has the highest respect from CUPE and in the community itself,” said Olsen. The board has advertised the position and will conduct interviews for a new supervisor at the end of January.

For 30 years, Alan Hemming has calmed the fears of nervous parents, relayed instructions to his drivers and ensured kids of all ages made it to and from school on time. So when the transportation supervisor for the Vernon School District steps down in April, he will have more than earned his retirement. At Tuesday’s district board meeting, chairman Bill Turanski called Hemming one of the most dedicated, caring and highly regarded individuals with whom he has worked. “He works tirelessly ensuring that some 4,000 students are safely and punctually delivered to school and returned home each school day,” said Turanski. As transportation supervisor, Hemming has been responsible for the organization, administration and supervision of all transportation-related activities of the district. Those activities include managing a transportation staff of 44, with 40 buses serving 4,000 rural and

But now, Corrie (last name canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be used) feels heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly in a position to help people who really need it as a volunteer with the North Okanagan RCMP Victims Assistance program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen people in crisis before but I was never in a position to help them,â&#x20AC;? said Corrie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I am. I probably have never done anything as gratifying as helping people in need or crisis like this.â&#x20AC;? Always wanting to help people, Corrie was looking for something to do in his retirement. He noticed an ad in The Morning Star looking for volunteers for the victims assistance program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to do something where I could be the most helpful,â&#x20AC;? said Corrie, who completed his intensive program training in 2010. Since then, Corrie has gone on three victims assistance calls and has logged a ton of hours on the telephone. Dona Rockwell is the program manager for the North Okanagan RCMP Victims Assistance program, and has been since 1999. Corrie is one of the 12 volunteers that currently serve the program, and Rockwell has launched a recruiting drive for 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for about six-to-eight more volunteers,â&#x20AC;? said Rockwell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for people who can volunteer during the day between Monday and Friday.â&#x20AC;?

Recording family history PAT BAYLISS Special to The Morning Star
In 1988, I read in The Morning Star that 1992 would mark the centennial of Vernon becoming a city, so I decided to do a centennial project, recording all births, marriages and deaths for the whole Okanagan Valley, from the Vernon News, which started about May 1891. So most Saturdays over the years I’m in the Vernon Museum putting the entries on cards, which are kept in the museum. So far, I’ve done up to 1928. One September day in 2001, I looked at The Morning Star, which began in June, 1988, and thought “there’s a lot of family history in there.” I’m going to record the births, engagements, marriages, obituaries, birthday greeting and wedding anniversaries and retirements on cards. For example the births, under Stork Report, gives the baby’s name, when he/she was born, the parents, the siblings, their ages, where they live, the grandparents and great-grandparents, any predeceased grandparent, and where they lived. The engagements and marriages always have a picture of the couple, usually their wedding date and location, parents’ names, where they lived, usually bridal attendants’ names and where they lived and where the bridal couple would be living after the wedding. Obituaries are usually even more detailed, giving the person’s name, when they died, where they died, their age, where they were born, usually their birth date, parents’ names, who predeceased them, when they got married and where, and who survived them. Usually the person is cremated, but occasionally the person is interred in a family grave, whether

Pat Bayliss spends Saturdays at the Vernon Museum, recording milestones for the archives. local or in another town. If the person did service in the Second World War it would be mentioned. In Memoriam notices between March 1994 and September 2001, I keep in a separate drawer in the museum, but if I have an obituary card, I record all the In Memoriam entries for each year. Birthdays I find a little frustrating because it usually says “Happy Birthday Joel” but no surname! So I can’t record it, and sometimes I see wedding anniversary congratulations from the family but again, no surname. I also started to record if a local child or senior were pictured in The Morning Star, but I had to quit doing seniors because it was too time-consuming. I have done every issue of The Morning Star since September, 2001 on cards, but I still make a note of a local child from Vernon, Lavington, Lumby, Armstrong, Enderby and Falkland pictured in the paper since then, on the birth entry card. When we’re traveling I do the back issues of The Morning Star — births, marriages
and deaths. In 2007, I did them while travelling across Russia by train; last year it was around Ireland, and whenever we go down to Vancouver I do some back entries. I’m up to March 1994, so only about seven 1/2 years to go from when I started. In the old days, prior to August 1928, the Vernon News still recorded “a son/ daughter is born to the wife of Mr. John Brown of Falkland,” it didn’t always give the birth date, and definitely not the baby’s name. Marriages were a bit more detailed, giving the bridal couple’s name, sometimes their parents and where they lived, and bridal attendants’ names, but it was always “quietly married.” Sometimes, “Mr. John Smith, arrived with his bride from back east,” no mention of the bride’s name, marriage date or town, until I read later, the bride’s mother, Mrs. Fred Brown from Toronto, is coming to visit her daughter, Mrs. John Smith. Death notices were usually about two lines, stating Mrs. William Walker died at her residence in Lumby. Since B.C. Vital Statistics came on the Internet, I can find out Mrs. Walker’s name, not just who she’s married to, and also her age, and her death date, rather than “last week” or in “south Okanagan.” I’m also able to check to see if they have a grave stone, and if it’s in a local cemetery, which our Vernon Family History Society members have recorded over the years. The Morning Star is gradually being put on microfilm in the Vernon Museum, as is the Vernon News and the Kamloops Inland Sentinel newspaper, which I have recorded from 1880-1928, for all birth, marriage and death entries for the whole Okanagan Valley.
Cuts continue to impact seniors
A
s more and more community programs for seniors and others are being cut, our quality of life diminishes and hope and expectations dwindle. Unless you are directly involved with some of those changes, you may not realize their impact. I wonder what happened to the 30 or more seniors and housebound people who lost their meals on wheels program and how that loss affected their lives. I also wonder how many others have been affected by the cancellation of Pat Black the volunteer driver program from the hospital that used to provide rides to the eye surgery clinic in Armstrong and other medical services out of town. Seniors with financial resources or close family are generally taken care of but what of the many, many others who have no family here and are among the 23 per cent of unattached women over 65 who live under the poverty line. I once asked this question of a woman I knew in this situation and the answer was upsetting: “I do without,” she said.
PERSONAL BEST
Without resources she would be unable to have a cataract operation in Armstrong, where they are performed, because she couldn’t get there. Or macular degeneration treatment in Kelowna or Kamloops because she didn’t have the resources to pay for her travel to these locations. Or if she had sleep apnea she would not be able to get a breathing machine because it is not covered by our health plan. Neither could she have physiotherapy or massage therapy after an injury or fall unless she could come up with the additional cost per visit it takes to have a treatment in addition to the $23 benefit paid by our Medical Services Plan, and they pay only up to 10 visits per year. And as for dental care, there is no way a senior on a limited income of government pensions can afford it, although our new local community dental clinic, providing services based on income, is scheduled for a spring opening. We live in a rich land, rich in natural resources, rich in the character of its peoples, rich in democracy and equality. It is hard to understand why we cannot provide more help for our poorest elders, more homes for our homeless, additional benefits for our children, some of whom go to school hungry. Why can’t we provide education for our students who cannot afford
college, when we all know it is now essential to any success in the work place? It is harder to understand how we can neglect these needs and can spend millions on the G7 summit and the Olympics and war and the exorbitant retirement pay of politicians while bailing out businesses and banks and reducing taxes for the already wealthy taxpayers. We need to change our directions and to change the direction of our politicians if we want to change our community to benefit all of our citizens, the poorest as well as the richest and the middle class. This year will see a provincial election, municipal elections and possibly a federal election. After the GST debacle and the loud and clear communication sent by British Columbians, I think politicians have finally got the message that they better truly represent their constituents or they are done. For the first time in our history, as the baby boomers graduate into the senior sector of society, we have the opportunity to make decided changes. We have the numbers, the will, the expectations and the experience, and we vote. More than any other sector, we vote. The thing is, we better make good choices.

Walchuk winner topples Kings GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
It was like last year’s Fred Page Cup never ended. There are some new faces on the Vernon Vipers’ and Powell River Kings’ rosters to be sure, but they still managed to crank the intensity dial way up to 10, and then someone broke off the knob. Dylan Walchuk (20th goal) fired the winner at 15:49 of the third period as the second-place Vipers gonged the first-place Kings 3-2 Friday night in a B.C. Hockey League thriller that had more hits than Michael Jackson. The McBride product, who earned first star, took a feed from linemate Darren Nowick and sniped a top-corner shot over Michael Garteig’s right shoulder from a tight angle on the powerplay, electrifying the 2,600 fans at Wesbild Centre. The goal came one minute after third star Cohen Adair (20th) had equalized for the Kings (35-7-3-2), who suffered just their seventh regulation loss. The two clubs have faced one another in the last two Fred Page Cup finals, but on Friday night it was the Vipers who came in as the underdogs. “For the last two years we have been the hunted, and tonight we were the hunters,” said Vernon head coach Mark Ferner. “They’re first overall for a reason. They’re big, they’re strong and they’re an experienced team. It was going to be a good test for us.” It was a physical game from the outset, with the two teams trading hits and finishing checks for the entire 60 minutes. The Kings, one of the more veteran teams in the BCHL with just two 1993-born players (one is their backup goalie), were relentless in trying to establish a physical presence, sometimes double-teaming Viper puck carriers to stifle their offensive flow. The Snakes (27-9-4-8), who have six ‘93s in the lineup, utilized their speed to challenge Powell River’s towering defence corps and showed a willingness to pay a physical price in order to get in on the forecheck. Ferner praised his team for persevering. “I don’t know how many times they banged it off the glass, whether it was their forwards or their dee,” he said. “They try to frustrate you. They try to get you to do too much with the puck, and for the most part our guys did a real good job of just stuffing it down their throat and getting after it again.” After a scoreless first period, Dave Robinson (23rd) put Vernon on the board as he drove to the net on the powerplay and fired a shot over Garteig’s shoulder 3:35 into the second period. Viper netminder Kirby Halcrow drew an assist. The Viper captain said Friday’s win will add that much more confidence to a group that already seems to be coming together at the right time. In particular, he noted it was a great test for Vernon’s rookies. “We knew we were one of the top teams in the league, and now it’s just a feather in our cap to beat that team,” smiled Robinson. “They have some guys that have been to the finals against us the last couple years and it was nice to see our younger

They come out hard and pound you. We’re gonna have some bumps and bruises.” Bryce Kakoske (14th), using Kings’ forward Matt Garbowsky as a screen, wired a sneaky toe drag snapshot that beat Garteig (19 saves) clean, putting Vernon up 2-0 early in the third frame. Powell River responded on the very next shift. Taking advantage of some disorganization in front of the Vipers’ net, Andrew Pettitt (15th) buried his shot past a sprawled Halcrow to pull his team within one. Pettitt, a Whitehorse native in his third season with the Kings, loved the playoff atmosphere in Wesbild. “It’s a lot different when you have two of the top teams come together. It’s not the same as playing a bottom-feeder
team. It brings the best out of everybody,” he said. Kings’ head coach Kent Lewis didn’t like his team’s start, but credited Vernon for a well-deserved win. “I don’t think we brought much intensity until late in the second and into the third, and then Halcrow shut the door pretty good. We were god awful for the first half of the game.” Halcrow (24 saves), who faced just three shots in the first period, had to be sharp late in the game, making several big stops, including one on Craig Dalrymple in the final minute. Viper defenceman Malcolm Lyles received a major and a game misconduct for a blow to the head when he ran Adair into the boards from behind in the third period. Lyles will likely receive a two-game suspension, at minimum, for the infraction.

NFL nostalgia
I
n case you haven’t been paying attention, they are down to the final four in the NFL. Packers vs Bears. Jets vs Steelers. The NFL does a fabulous job hyping even its worst teams during the regular season, but these match-ups sell themselves. Hard to believe the only time the archrival Packers and Bears have met in the playoffs was on Dec. 14, 1941, one week after the bombKevin Mitchell ing of Pearl Harbor, the event that drew the U.S. into World War II. I recall retired Vernon teacher Nick Turik telling me he listened to the game on the radio, and he said it was a thriller. The game, won by the Bears, attracted 43,425 fans to Wrigley Field, where the Bears played from 1921 through 1970. The next week, only 13,341 paid customers showed up when the Bears played host to the New York Giants in the NFL championship game. Times were tough in the NFL back then with teams lucky to average 25,000 fans a game. I’m leaning towards the Packers today mainly because they’re a smallmarket franchise, pretty much the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the NFL. Love the way Aaron Rodgers has progressed as a superb quarterback and the enthusiasm shown by linebacker Clay Matthews. The Bears are also easy to like with Brian Urlacher and Matt Forte. QB Jay Cutler appears sullen around the media, but he’s getting the job done. Of course, having TV sitcom star Jim Belushi on board makes the Bears popular too. The Jets vs the Steelers has drawn the most hype mainly because of mouthy New York coach Rex Ryan, who appears to be a riot. Just for the record, Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, if the Jets win, will hang a Jets firefighter hat
BETWEEN THE LINES
on an unspecified Pittsburgh landmark. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, if the Steelers win, will hang a Terrible Towel on an unspecified New York landmark. Video of the losing mayor’s humiliation will be posted on YouTube. Morning Star film critic Jason Armstrong has supported the Jets for decades. Other than him, I don’t know anybody who cares if New York wins. A Jets-Packers all-green Super Bowl would kind of be cool though. Mark Sanchez seems to be a swell guy and Ryan makes me laugh. Phil Mushnick of the New York Post says the Jets have swagger and arrogance and are being hailed by their fans as “our creeps.” Wrote Mushnick: “We’re as jingoistic as any college football yahoo in Norman, Okla., or Gainseville, Fla. If a Jets starter were to torture a roomful of kittens, well damn it, those kittens had it coming!” NOTES AND QUOTES... Andy’s Gala, a soccer tournament held a few weeks ago at the VantageOne Centre, raised just over $3,000 for player development, and Marina Korberg of youth soccer saidthey will be setting up an Andy Waughman bursary/grant soon. “Next year we will go over 2.5 days and have more of a tourney style instead of random draw,” said Korberg. Wendy’s, Sun Valley Source For Sports and Soccer Xpress were major sponsors...Team Canada junior star Brayden Schenn, who wore No. 10 in Brandon, is wearing No. 21 with the Saskatoon Blades since Saskatoon has retired No. 10 in honour of Brian Skrudland. Saskatoon is an original WHL team, having been in the league since 1966-67, and has never won a Memorial Cup... No offsides, no icing and no goalies.

Express roll past Penticton Continued from A20 Early in the second period, Vernon defenceman Max Mowat drove Powell River captain Chad Niddery into the end boards. Adair went after Mowat as a result and was lucky to earn only a minor as he delivered a few punches to the Vernon defender as the linesmen dragged them to the ground. The Vipers entertained the Coquitlam Express (17-19-1-9) Saturday night at Wesbild, and will host the Salmon Arm SilverBacks (2816-2-0) Tuesday. The Kings ended their Interior tour Saturday against the Penticton Vees (30-13-2-1), who trail Vernon by three points in the Interior.
Penticton attempted a third-period rally Friday night against the visiting Express, but an empty-netter by Coquitlam’s Garrick Perry resulted in a 5-3 final. In other Friday night action, captain Alex Grieve collected 2+1 as the Westside Warriors doubled the host SilverBacks 6-3 at the Sunwave Centre. Former Viper Kyle St. Denis earned second star in his debut with the Victoria Grizzlies, a 2-1 win over the visiting Surrey Eagles at Bear Mountain Arena. St. Denis played five games with the Snakes in 2005-06 before joining the WHL Kelowna Rockets.
Sports Knights knock off Columbia Valley Morning Star Staff
Brendan Jost recorded a pair of goals as the North Okanagan Knights soared past the Columbia Valley Rockies 6-2 in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League action Friday night at Eddie Mountain Memorial Arena in Invermere. Trailing 2-1 early in the second period, North Okanagan (16-23-1-1) responded with four unanswered goals in support of netminder Chris Hurry (25 saves). Kurtis Hagen recorded the winner at 12:08 of the second period. Call-up Brett Hawrys
earned an assist on Ben Greenaway’s tying goal. The Knights are 3-1-1 in the new year, and head coach Sylvain Leone wants the team to keep building towards playoffs. “After our 10-5 start, we started to believe the press clippings. Our team has to remember what gave us that success to begin with,” he said. The Knights faced the Creston Valley Thunder Cats and Spokane Braves Saturday and Sunday respectively. They end a four-game road schedule Wednesday against the Sicamous Eagles.

Fulton’s Amanda Sakamoto drives to the net for a basket after a clean break out of the Maroons' zone against the Pleasant Valley Saints in North Zone senior AA girls basketball play Friday night at Fulton Gym.
Maroons smother Saints Morning Star Staff
Amanda Sakamoto turned in a solid two-way performance to pocket 16 points and game MVP as the Fulton Maroons grounded the Pleasant Valley Saints 76-27 in North Zone senior AA girls basketball play Friday night at Fulton Gym. The Maroons, who led 37-10 at the break, got a game-high 21 points from Kelsey Thompson, and 10 points from Melissa Silva. The Saints were led by Andreanne Nelson and Taryn Frederick, who supplied six points apiece. “Amanda was outstanding in the first half on both sides of the ball,” said Fulton head coach Jim
Inglis. “We got the performances I expect from Kelsey and Tavia Lochhead, but the three I thought really stepped up their games tonight were Melissa Silva, Karlee Webb and Danika Serafin. “They were creative on offence and tenacious on the boards, creating new possession and second opportunities. Their aggressive play had the Armstrong girls on their heels and it set the tone.” The Maroons lead the North Zone standings at 3-0. On Wednesday night, the Saints, now 2-1, thumped the Vernon secondary Panthers 81-41.
After a 30 month secondment in South America to practice law with an international coal mining corporation (a BHP Billiton affiliate) and developing a non-profit microcredit program in Colombia on behalf of Vernon Rotary Clubs, Berta has returned to practice law in the Okanagan.

What Parents Need to Know Dear Parents, The Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) is a set of annual provincial tests given to Grade 4 and 7 students in reading comprehension, writing, and numeracy. These tests do not count toward your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marks nor do the results actively support your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning. It makes no sense to practise for the FSA. â&#x20AC;˘ FSA tests are expensive to develop and administer. â&#x20AC;˘ FSA tests do not help students learn, or teachers teach. â&#x20AC;˘ FSA tests take valuable time away from richer and more meaningful learning. â&#x20AC;˘ FSA tests take valuable resources away from the classroom.
â&#x20AC;˘ Results are misused to rank schools and promote privatization. â&#x20AC;˘ FSA data does not provide real help to students, parents, or schools.
For all of these reasons, we are recommending that you write a letter to the principal or detach the following letter, requesting that your child be exempted from the FSA. While teachers are being directed to administer it and principals are directed to enforce it, we cannot in all good conscience recommend that any parent support the administration of the FSA to their child. We agree with the Vancouver School Board statement, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is up to each family, considering what they know about their student(s) and think is in their best interest, to decide whether or not their children should participateâ&#x20AC;?. Teachers will support parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decisions. Parents should continue to talk with teachers about assessment that actually works for their child.
VERNON TEACHERSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ASSOCIATION (250-542-0456) Please detach and use the letter to request that your Grade 4 or 7 child be withdrawn from the January and February 2011 FSA testing.
Dear Principal,
ČŠsČŠ&ULLČŠ
I understand that parents may request the principal to excuse a student in the event of a family emergency, lengthy illness, or other extenuating circumstances.

Regional District board has ratified a Greater Vernon Advisory Committee recommendation to abandon Antwerp wells one and two for domestic use. “The plan is to have them for agricultural uses only,” said Arnold Badke, engineering general manager. “Non-potable service could be firefighting or any non-domestic use.” In January 2010,

PROPOSED OKANAGAN CORRECTIONAL CENTRE
DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION Q.) What is the required land area for the new centre? A.) About 20 acres, including secure outdoor work areas, fencing and parking. The building will be up to four storeys in height, and about 20,000 square metres. Q.) What will this new facility cost? A.) At this early stage the construction cost is estimated to be about $200 million. Q.) How long will it take to build? A.) We expect construction to take about 30 months, beginning in 2013, with completion in 2015. Q.) What type of security system will be in place? A.) The new centre will be built to the highest security standards. All of our centres use a combination of staff supervision and surveillance technologies. Q.) How many inmates will be at this facility? A.) There will be 360 cells in 10 living units. Q.) What is the nature of the crimes committed by those in custody? A.) This new centre will be a secure custody centre, accommodating remanded individuals awaiting trial and those sentenced to fewer than two years. As such, they will represent a wide range of offense types. Q.) What is the average length of time in custody? A.) About 30 days for remanded inmates and 56 days for sentenced inmates. COMMUNITY BENEFITS Q.) Will the Province contribute to infrastructure improvements required in the municipality, in light of the impact of the centre? A.) With the development of major additions or new construction, the Province typically contributes to local government infrastructure improvements. Q.) Will the Province contribute to development cost charges? A. Yes, where applicable. Q.) How are taxes paid to the municipalities with correction centres? A.) The Province pays grants in lieu of taxes to municipalities in amounts ranging from $0.5 million to $1.5 million for correctional centres. Q.) What impact will this new centre have on the local RCMP detachment? A.) The accused are often held in local police cells, awaiting court outcomes or an escort to a distant correctional centre. The new Okanagan centre will significantly reduce pressure on these local police lockups. Q.) What is the job creation potential of this new centre? A.) About 240 correctional staff will be employed at the centre with a number of additional contracted staff also on-site, like nurses, doctors, dentists, food service workers, trades personnel, and counsellors. The project will likely generate 400-500 direct construction jobs as well as 600 indirect jobs during construction. Q.) What is the estimated payroll of the new centre? A.) The new centre will generate a payroll of more than $17 million per year. Q.) What local business opportunities will the new centre create? A.) Food services, janitorial and maintenance services, health care, and dental services, depending on the actual location of the centre. Q.) Will the centre affect the local crime rate? A.) There is no evidence that the introduction of a provincial correctional centre affects local crime rates. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT Q.) How will the Centre communicate with our community? A.) BC Corrections strives to maintain positive relationships with the communities in which correction centres are located. A Community Advisory Board (CAB) will be established so the community has a formal means of awareness and involvement in the centre’s operation. The role of the CAB is to: • Provide an impartial, non-correctional, community perspective on centre management. • Convey the community’s expectations to management. • Consult with management on offender case management and community reintegration. • Participate in centre programs and act as a community source on correctional programs and operations. • Participate in regular board meetings to discuss current policies and programs and to provide feedback on their participation in centrerelated activities.
The CAB will be comprised of at least six members of the community and the centre’s staff, appointed by the centre’s warden. Members will be appointed based on their: • Personal interest. • Experience in a similar board or relevant field. • Position as a representative from a key organization or community sector. CORRECTIONAL CENTRE PROGRAMS Q.) What community work programs will the centre operate? A.) Where appropriate, inmates can participate in supervised community work programs. These are partnerships with the community and can involve roadside clearing, park enhancement, firewood production, fire suppression, and other work that the community might request. In addition to being a resource to the local community’s needs, these programs give inmates hands-on experience learning the value of work ethic, teamwork and accountability, while earning a wage and gaining experience they can use after their release. Vocational programs include: • Certificate programs such as First Aid, Food Safe, Superhost, Hazardous Materials Recognition and Handling, Transportation Endorsement, Forklift Operation. • Trades courses based on college programs teach metal work, sewing, carpentry, horticulture, plumbing, wiring, forestry, oil industry, framing and dry-walling skills. • Skill-building labour gives inmates work experience doing food preparation, laundry, roadwork, landscaping, packaging, painting and maintenance. Q.) What other types of inmate programs are offered? Education programs: A.) Providing inmates with the ability to expand their education gives them a wider range of opportunities and improves their social skills. In addition to earning their high school diploma and taking college preparation courses, here are some examples of education programs offered at BC Corrections’ centres: • Essential Skills to Success builds basic reading, writing, budgeting, and life skills. • Career Builders teaches self-assessment, communication skills, résumé writing as well as accountability and work ethic concepts. • Indigenous Studies raises awareness and understanding of Aboriginal cultures. Cultural and spiritual programs: A.) Cultural and spiritual programs offer support and guidance appropriate to the diversity of the inmate population. These include: • Sweat lodge ceremonies, talking circles and spiritual counselling. Some centres also have dedicated healing spaces for aboriginal inmates. • Chaplains offer religious services for a range of beliefs and language groups. • Community groups also provide cultural services when centres house immigration detainees. Cognitive programs: A.) Each facility offers programs that are designed to make positive changes to the patterns of thinking and behaving that contribute to a criminal lifestyle. These include: • Breaking Barriers, which helps inmates develop positive skills for interacting with others. • Substance Abuse and Relapse Prevention, which addresses addiction and self-destructive behaviour patterns. • Emotions Management, Violence Prevention and Respectful Relationships, which teach new coping skills and reduce violence. • Cognitive Skills, which teaches inmates how to think in a reasoned and deliberate fashion. • Life Skills, which gives inmates the basic tools and knowledge for living independently. • Positive Parenting, which teaches inmates with children how to build healthy family relationships.

life B ! SUPPER FIT FOR A HIGHLAND POET CATHI LITZENBERGER
Morning Star Columnist
Selkirk Grace Some hae meat and canna eat, And some wad eat that want it, But we hae meat and we can eat, Sae the Lord be thankit. The preceding is an old Selkirk Grace used often in celebrating Robbie Burns Day. Scottish people have been celebrating Robbie Burnsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; birthday for more than 200 years now, not a small feat considering the man himself never lived to see his 38th birthday. Robert Burns was born Jan. 25, 1759 in Ayr, Scotland, the son of a poor peasant farmer. It has been said that Burns took to writing poetry as an alternative to working in the fields, a rather clever ploy I figure, since working in the harsh Scottish highlands was not an easy life. Besides the poetry of Robert Burns, Scotland has brought the world its whisky, bagpipes, kilts of every tartan available, shortbread, and recipes unique to its land. A traditional Robbie Burns Day supper always begins with the piping in of the haggis, followed by dishes like the ones below. Desserts can be bread puddings, shortbreads, sometimes oatcakes, to name a few, and everything is washed down with their famous whisky. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipes are traditional Robbie Burns Day supper recipes and even though I had to persuade these guys to try something new, we all enjoyed the change. Cock-a-Leekie Soup 2 tbsp. vegetable oil 2 cups sliced leeks* white and light green parts only 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed 6 cups chicken stock 3/4 cup long grain rice 1 strip lemon peel (2-inches/5 cm long) 1 bay leaf 1 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper 2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley In a large heavy saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook leeks, covered and stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until softened. Add chicken; cook over mediumhigh heat, stirring, for about 4 minutes or until no longer pink inside. Add chicken stock, rice, lemon peel, bay leaf, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until rice is tender. Discard lemon peel and bay leaf. Ladle into warmed bowls; sprinkle with parsley. Note * Dirt can hide in between the layers of leeks; chop leeks and then place in a large sieve to wash thoroughly. Garlic Horseradish Sirloin Roast 3 lb. top sirloin premium oven roast 4 cloves garlic, slivered 1/4 cup light mayonnaise 2 tbsp. prepared horseradish 1/2 tsp. dried sage 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper 4 onions, sliced 1 cup beef stock

Skim fat from pan juices. Pour in beef stock and Worcestershire sauce; bring to a boil, stirring and scraping up brown bits. Whisk cornstarch with 1 tbsp. water; whisk into pan and cook, whisking until thickened and glossy, about 2 minutes. Strain and serve with beef. Serve strained onions as a side dish. Apple Neeps au Gratin (Rutabaga with Apples) 1 small rutabaga 1 tbsp. cornstarch 1/2 cup water 2 apples, peeled and grated 1/2 tsp. salt 1 pinch pepper 1 pinch dried savory Gratin: 1/2 cup coarse fresh bread crumbs 1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley 1 tbsp. melted butter
Peel and cut rutabaga in half lengthwise. Cut each half lengthwise into quarters; thinly slice crosswise (I cubed mine into 1/2-inch cubes). In saucepan of salted boiling water, cover and cook rutabaga until almost tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk cornstarch with water until smooth. Add apples, salt, pepper and savory; toss to coat. Add rutabaga; toss gently. Spread in 8-inch square glass baking dish. In a small bowl, toss together bread crumbs, parsley and butter; sprinkle over rutabaga mixture. Bake, uncovered, until tender, about 20 minutes. Broil until topping is golden, 3-4 minutes. Serves 6. Chappet Tallies with Leeks (Smashed Leek Potatoes) 6 Yukon Gold potatoes 3 tbsp. butter 2 leeks, white and light green parts only 3/4 tsp. each salt and pepper 1 pinch dried thyme 1-1/3 cups buttermilk Scrub potatoes (peel if desired) then cut into 2-inch cubes. Place in a large saucepan of boiling salted water; cover and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt 1 tbsp. of the butter over medium heat; fry leeks, adding a pinch of salt, pepper and thyme; fry for about 5 minutes until tender.

ith a cozy blanket tucked around my neck, and my toes curled under the bottom of the soft material, nestled into the fabric of a couch, I am in napper’s heaven. I love sleeping on a couch with a soft blanket — not all evening, just napping, dozing off reading a book or watching TV. There is something about those naps that are so comfortable and pleasing. I started this couch-napping on my mother’s red crushed velvet sectional. Yes, an extra large red crushed velvet sectional. Someone who stayed at our house regularly gave it to her. She accepted, we groaned, and curled in. Three of us could Michele Blais stretch out on it with Chief, the bull mastif, often in the middle. There are certain pieces of furniture meant to be shared and a couch like a table is one of them. When my youngest was a baby, (soon to be 19 — wah) his brother and I spent many hours on the couch. I would nurse the baby and read to his brother so he, too, got Mom’s attention. It was an interesting balancing act and a very loving time. Comfort was always important and the couches we have had over the years have been very accommodating. Many times, two kids have been stretched out on them, or Mom with two kids, or sometimes four kids. Or Mom lying down with a child tucked in close and safe. Our couches have also been used as wrestling mats, the cushions used for forts, blockades, trampolines, regrouping spaces, dining tables, libraries, towers, numerous places for imaginary play and they have never been white. Not all activities were with adult supervision. The pieces were comfortable, practical and washable and made for soft landings. We read numerous stories on the couch and then often the kids could act them out, or always ask for more. Now they house their friends for crashing. Furniture is my most recent hobby. I love to look at items in stores and online. I like to refinish pieces, am trying to learn upholstery, and to look at ways to bring new life to old pieces. There is a great look with mixing new pieces that are functional, comfortable with antiques. Solid wood bureaus, tables, shelving. I won’t go into my

interest in chairs as there are some who are concerned it borders on fetish. I am keenly waiting for warmer weather so that garage sales will be up and running again and can continue to find very affordable interesting pieces. No matter what I am looking at when I start to imagine placing it in a room, an image of two energetic young fellas come to mind and I wonder is this furniture for daily living? Or will it sit in a room, never used, like my friend Maureen’s parents’ living room furniture when we were kids? They covered it with plastic to make sure it was never used. Unless the parents were away and then we were goof balls, lying on it, sitting in weird positions, ever so daring. Again I revisit a couch; many romances may have started on a couch as two young lovers, or older, may be sitting together on a couch, chatting, watching a movie, enjoying each other’s company, comfortable together. Cuddling, being together, whether with your darling, your children, your best friends, whether you are watching television, enjoying a beautiful view out the windows, sitting by a fireplace; if on your couch I hope that you are comfortable. And I hope that when you think of creating your home that you consider your comfort as primary. The home decorating police are not as important as you and members of your family. Stylish is best when it is comfortable and user-friendly. It’s like matching your couch to your art, I have never understood that one. I enjoy my art because of the pleasure I get in looking at it not because it has the taupe of my carpet. As I write this I do not have a couch in my living room, however I think that is about to change.

Artist leaves powerful print legacy Posthumous exhibition shows art professor’s impact on valley JENNIFER SMITH Black Press
He loved the Irish — including his wife — could hold his Guinness, perform admirably as a kids’ soccer coach and roar with unparalleled enthusiasm for a good live band. Yet if there’s one thing Doug Biden, the man behind the colourful print collection featured in the Kelowna Art Gallery this month, really knew how to do, it was inspire this kind of passion in others. “He was one of those kinds of profs who students wanted to come and give mixed tapes to, back when they gave mixed tapes,” said Robert Belton, a UBC Okanagan fine arts professor. In his near decade-long career at what was then Okanagan University College, Biden was known more for his zeal for life, his spontaneous floor hockey games in the school corridor after hours, than the sum of his artistic career. “I just think that people thought he was a lovable kind of character—but one who had chops,” said Belton. Even his good friends were, therefore, shocked when the exhibit, curated by his friend Darrin Martens of the Burnaby Art Gallery, revealed the extent of his work. “They were astounded at just how much he produced. You go into that show and you realize that this guy had such a wide range of skills and he just produced this sensuous, tasty, experience,” said Belton. Bright, political and at times a bit shocking, UBCO sculpture professor Byron Johnston describes the show, Doug Biden: Visceral Allegories, as “concerned about the world and the healthiness of it.” There are images of Bobby Kennedy, of football players with millions, soldiers heading to war, and men hanged from the gallows.

For the many Okanaganites whom Biden touched as a teacher, colleague and friend, however, one stunning theme grips with nearly the same voracity as the images he built. The over-arching obsession of Biden’s work has to do with the body, its internal organs and the systems which make us all tick. As the artist died in 2007 after a heroic, though incredibly cruel battle with pancreatic cancer, it is tempting to chalk this fixation up
to an internal struggle with the disease. His wife, Ingrid Abbott, said Biden did not believe this was ever the case. Years before he got sick, he watched his mother wage a long battle with cancer; his father had also died of an illness. The obsession with the body stems from those life stories, she said, noting she once asked him if he felt there was a premonition in his work. “He emphatically said he had no idea (he was sick),” said Abbott, admitting it did nevertheless foreshadow the last two years of their life together. Diagnosed on Easter weekend 2005, while his family was away visiting the coast, Biden was initially given only palliative options by Kelowna’s medical community. He opted to take his chances with the pancreatic clinic in Vancouver. “We were not just going to take three to six months,” she said. Biden was 48 years old when he fell ill, he had just run the Campus-
to-Campus Half Marathon, as a member of a fine arts relay team, and had two young children, Hilary and Nicholas Biden, who attended Okanagan Mission Secondary. The treatment was difficult, experimental and required chemotherapy, radiation and major surgery, but when it was over, incredibly, he was deemed cancer free. “I said to Doug, ‘Well, you’ve got your life back, what do you want to do? Do you want to go live in an Ashram in India? Do you want to travel the world?’ And he said, ‘I want my life in Kelowna back,’” said Abbott. “He didn’t need an epiphany to know he was really happy.” Biden worked hard for his teaching post at OUC. For six years he worked in Kelowna while his family lived on the Sunshine Coast, in an oceanside home he commuted back to as often as he could. He had taught at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design and Capilano College, but when the printmaking position became avail-

able in the Okanagan, the family made huge sacrifices to ensure he could work. “He lived the bohemian lifestyle while he was teaching, working until four o’clock in the morning,” said Abbott. “Then he could spend time with the family when he was home.” The results are self-evident. Visceral Allegories captures only a selection of a much larger collection, but still manages to touch on everything from 9/11, to women’s rights, the impact of media on social thinking, religion and the Holocaust. There is even a commentary on pornography dubbed Eve Does Adam, Rick and Terry: The Vagaries of Sex and Love, which features his children looking at a fuzzy, yet obviously crude pornographic image. The bulk of the show was created on the KLO campus of OUC in its printmaking studio. If you ask one of his students what he was like, they’ll tell you simply: He was fun. “He was really interested in what he was doing,” said Arlin Ffrench, a tattoo artist who now lives in Vancouver. “He was really into printmaking and really into making art and had a really fun attitude.” A very spiritual person, Johnston remembers his last words to him were that he would be sending him messages. Johnston curated a Biden show for the Penticton gallery last year and the main boardroom of the university’s provost is decorated exclusively with Biden prints. It has taken three years for this show to wind its way to Kelowna and Biden himself helped select some of the work before his death. “It is so incredibly special that it is in Kelowna and that it is in a big gallery,” said Abbott. Editor’s note: Some of Biden’s prints were last seen at the Vernon Public Art Gallery the year of his death in A Survey of BC Printmaking, a traveling exhibition organized by the Burnaby Art Gallery from its permanent collection.

TOM NOLAN In the future, our genetic makeup will help doctors determine whether a drug will work when prescribed. We’ve all heard stories how a drug didn’t work well for someone but did for others. Researchers are looking at our genes and are finding certain markers that can influence whether a drug will be effective or not. The science is in its early days but shows promise for the future.

There is a direct relationship between the amount of fat you have around your middle (called visceral fat that’s deep inside the abdomen) and how flexible your arteries are. The more fat, the stiffer the arteries. The solution to reducing visceral fat is eating less and exercising more. It could save your life.

Progress in science and medicine builds on discoveries from the past. Back in 1869, Dr. Paul Langerhans dissected the pancreas and discovered small groups of specialized cells. Later, it will be found that these cells are the source of insulin in the body and now are called the islets of Langerhans.

Arts Carnival magic is in store Morning Star Staff
Food is not the only thing being cooked up at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 51st annual Vernon Winter Carnival. Kids of all ages will be able to indulge in something a little different with the Magic and Mystery Show, scheduled for Feb. 12 at the Vernon Recreation Centre auditorium. The inaugural family-friendly event features master illusionist Rick Shadows and his lovely assistant, Michele, performing mystifying acts of magic and illusion. Their show will be followed by veteran hypnotist Jason James and his hilarious hypnotic antics where audience members are the stars. The show is suited to those five years of age and older, however, participants must be at least 12 years old to take part in the hypnosis portion of the event, said organizer Cat Wells, who is also hosting the Winter Carnival Blues Festival that night at the rec centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will also be food and other vendors, including local artisans, present so you can enjoy a family lunch, grab a snack, shop and enjoy live entertainment all under the same roof,â&#x20AC;? she added. The event starts at 12:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for seniors and children and are on sale now at the Vernon Winter Carnival office, 3310 - 37th Ave., online at www.vernonwintercarnival.com, or call (250)-545-2236.

Panthers roar at competition GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Panthers economics team went to Vancouver as underdogs. They returned as champions. Competing in a field of more than 20 teams (mainly Grade 11 and 12 students), the business savvy Cats, featuring four Grade 9 students, collected first place in the executives marketplace category at Junior Achievement of B.C.’s 13th annual B.C. Business Challenge. Each team member received a plaque and $75 prize money. The Panthers plan on pooling some of that cash to go out for a celebration dinner. “Our team was underestimated when we arrived. It was particularly sweet when our team won the competition,” said Susan Egan, Vernon Secondary School teacher and economics coach. At the competition, the Panthers – captain Erica Chow (Grade 12), her brother Daniel (Grade 10), Megan Fretz, Michaela Hamilton, Kory Kury and Zack Goldsmith – took on the role of high-tech executives in a global business simulation. Their task was to develop an imaginary company through 18 quarters of business to bring their futuristic product, a miniature audio player capable of generating holographic images, to market. Teams were responsible for determining pricing, production levels and dollars to be spent in marketing, capital investment and research and development, all while working against tight time lines. They also had to analyze financial reports and scrutinize the actions of other companies and take appropriate actions to stay ahead of the competition. The team with the highest share price at the end of the competition is the winner. “It was really stressful,” said Erica Chow, who plans to study law after graduation. “Our team was really strong with teamwork, so we could go through stuff really fast, and we had different people doing dif-

Business Challenge in Vancouver. ferent things. Depending on the press releases, whether they wanted us to be high on the research and development or marketing, we had to make our decisions based on that.” As the competition went along, Erica Chow says it became clear that pricing would play a vital role in the success of their product. “We wanted to differentiate ourselves
from the competitors and match our prices well,” she said. “We didn’t want to do anything too risky, but near the end we had to beat them, so we dropped our price and undercut all of them.” To make the competition more realistic, organizers threw in a few red herring press releases to stump the students, and then
ended the competition without warning. “That was an interesting twist,” said Egan. “That coupled with the time pressure really makes things tricky.” Before joining the team, Fretz said she only had a mild interest in economics. That all changed once they began preparing for the B.C. Business Challenge. “It gives you an insight into what business is really like. You get to see how the market and different events affect your product,” said Fretz, who was encouraged by a friend to join the team. Egan credited Erica Chow for her ability to guide the youthful Panthers. “She really encouraged the teamwork,” she sad. “Sometimes there’s a tendency for the captain to just do what they want to do,” explained Egan. “With some teams I’ve taken, we have someone who is a bit of an autocrat, but this team was wonderful in terms of teamwork skills. They all worked together and everybody had their own role.” VSS has sent a team to the challenge every year since the competition began 13 years ago, and has reached the podium 11 times. “I originally had to beg Junior Achievement to let us participate because we were outside of the Lower Mainland,” said Egan, noting it has since become a provincewide event. The team flew to Vancouver and stayed at the Coast Coal Harbour Hotel, one of the competition sponsors, in downtown Vancouver. In addition to sightseeing and a little shopping, the Panthers got to eat at the Cactus Club. Ida Chong, science and universities minister, was in attendance to promote the Year of Science and congratulate the winners. The B.C. Business Challenge was sponsored by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of B.C., Deloitte, The Ministry of Science and Universities, Dettwiler & Associates, Scotiabank Group, Colliers and the Portables.
Enderby company constructs a B.C. first Morning Star Staff
Did you know that the first fivestorey wood frame building in B.C. was built in Enderby and assembled in Kamloops? North Valley Frameworks just completed the first five-storey wood structures built under the Wood First Act. The project is made up of two storeys of concrete structure and five storeys of wood framing. It houses a 20,000-square-foot public library and more than 100 residential units. North Valley Frameworks completed this project in December 2010. The company has created a process to decrease the on-site labour burden
of assembling wood structures by producing 30 to 35 per cent of the project off-site. “Our experienced staff, in-house CAD designers equipped with state-of-the-art CNC software and 10,000-square-foot facility can handle residential and complex multi-unit projects with ease,” said Mark Ibbetson, North Valley president and a member of the Southern Interior Construction Association. “Our own trucking service ensures that our product is delivered on time.

Achieve your goals
I
t’s hard to turn the TV on these days without seeing some kind of year-in-review show. Each recap brings to our attention the top tragedies and triumphs of 2010. Has your business had a year-in-review show yet? What were your successes and failures? What moments were special and which ones should be forgotten? How many of your 2010 objectives were met? Why were some met and others not met? Set aside reflective time to honestly assess what worked and what didn’t work in your business. Louise Maurice Taylor Use the following tips for setting and achieving your 2011 business goals: ■ Review your business plan making revisions to your mission and vision statement based on the previous years’ results. ■ Set the goal so it is in line with your business mission and vision. ■ Use specific and measurable details for each goal. ■ List the resources needed to achieve the goal. ■ List the assets you currently have to make
GUEST SHOT
the goal possible. ■ Identify any blocks or obstacles standing in the way. ■ List any significant milestones to reach and include the dates you want to reach them by. ■ List the actions required to meet the first milestone by a given date. ■ Build in a reward or celebration for when you do reach that goal. Achieving your goals is easy when you write them down as if they have already happened. For example at the end of March, I will have successfully added an e-commerce site to my business. Now break that goal down into manageable chunks of time. Write down what action you will take each month, each week, and each day to accomplish your goal. Your goals and actions should work together. If you have set a goal to complete one activity per day toward creating your online business, schedule time to complete the task, commit to that time and do it. If you state the goal in the positive by working for what you want and not what you want to leave behind, you will experience better results in 2011.

MARGARET DEEFHOLTS Special To The Morning Star
WALES - Wales, unlike England it’s rather staid neighbour, is a land of whimsy. It is early spring in Llangollen, North Wales and hedgerows like dark eyebrows run along the edges of fields where mother sheep fuss over their newly arrived lambs. Our mini-bus drops our group off at Plas Newydd, a Tudor style house, with a façade resembling rows of black and white dominoes. This was once the home of Lady Eleanor Butler and the Honourable Sarah Ponsonby — both born to minor nobility in Ireland — who, in order to avoid being forced into marriage, eloped to Wales and set up house here in 1780. Today this would hardly raise an eyebrow…but back then, what would the strait-laced society of the late 18th century have made of the “Ladies of Llangollen” as they came to be called? There is no hard evidence to prove that they were lovers but a display of memorabilia at Plas Newydd speaks for itself — sketches of them dressed alike in men’s waistcoats, skirts and top-hats, and lavishly affectionate notes addressing one another as “my sweet love” or “my beloved.” Their dog was called Sappho, and in all the years they were together, they refused to spend a single night apart. Notwithstanding this, their genteel lifestyle gave them the appearance of two maiden aunts, quietly engrossed in gardening, writing, and the study of literature. Lady Eleanor was a prolific correspondent and diarist, and Plas Newydd became the haunt of literati such as Byron, Shelley and Wordsworth, whose Sonnet Composed

Estate evolves into museum Continued from previous page Plas Newydd has an intricate wood-carved entrance, and bas-relief panels decorate the walls along the interior stairway. Overall, the rooms are small and rather dark, but in my imagination I see Miss Sarah as she tidies up the coverlet of their double bed, while Lady Eleanor writes in her journal by the window, exchanging perhaps a fond look and a smile with her dear companion. Their relationship spanned over fifty years, until they passed away, Eleanor in 1829, Sarah two years later. The Ladies rest side-by-side in St. Collen’s Churchyard in Llangollen, and Plas Newydd is now a museum run by the Denbighshire County Council. In contrast to this tranquil country estate, is a wacky, but undeniably popular resort (a rarebit of Welsh drollery?) in Snowdonia on the north-west coast of Wales. Portmeirion is the brain-child of a selfstyled architect, Sir Clough Williams-Ellis who, undaunted by his failure to complete a degree in architecture, went on to create

Plas Newydd played host to literary giants like Byron, Shelley and Wordsworth. a fantastical world of buildings, statues and gardens. Dubbed by visitors as “zany” and “campy”, one wonders whether Sir Clough was either a dotty eccentric, or had a prankish sense of humour. Or perhaps both. Robin Llywelyn, Clough’s grandson and managing director of Portmeirion, leads our group through a cobaltblue painted archway and talks with great solemnity about the history of Portmeirion, but most of us aren’t listening.
We are peering at our surroundings: a Daliesque world of buildings in the wildest of hues – turquoise, burnt umber, purple, pink, mauve, terra-cotta, inkblue and bright yellow. The structures run the gamut of architectural styles from Jacobean to Art Deco. An Italian piazza lies below us, and on a hill to one side, a stone bell-tower that looks as though it once featured in the movie Vertigo. For the next half hour, we walk through the village, bemused.
Portmeirion is the nearest thing I can imagine to a funky collection of DeMille-style Hollywood sets. Here an Athenian portico with pillared colonnades, there a mullionedwindowed Stratfordon-Avon cottage and just across the way a Spanish hacienda with a terracotta tile roof. In between, just for variety, are Ionic columns topped by bronze Burmese dancers, marble angels, and a stone Hercules hefting the globe. The group gathers

In the village of Llangollen, I stop short before a sign that looks like a spill of Scrabble tiles: siopfachgardiauwrthybontdrosyrafonddyfrdwyynllangollen.” It means, “The little shop that sells cards by the bridge that crosses the river Dee in Llangollen.” Margaret Deefholts is with Travel Writers’ Tales, an independent newspaper syndicate.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) When making an agreement or important plans with another, be sure that you consider everything, down to the smallest detail. What is left unsaid might be your undoing later. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Strive to give your entire attention to a matter that you consider to be of significance. If you permit your attention to be drawn away, a major opportunity could slip from your fingers. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Guard against a tendency to handle with indifference something that should be treated with kid gloves. Neglecting to give it the respect that it deserves now will spell trouble for you later. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In your eagerness to complete several necessary tasks, you could try to take shortcuts, and in doing so create a number of problems where none previously existed. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Undue concern about trying to make an impression on others could cause you to boast or exaggerate your abilities or talents, thereby thwarting the very charisma you hoped to exude. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Regardless of how good financial conditions have been recently, there are strong signals indicating that you must manage your resources far more prudently. Gains could be diminished if you’re imprudent. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) In hopes of finding a way to get a project underway, you could take to heart
a promise made to you by another. Unfortunately, it could just be a lot of hot air, and not the kind that gets things off the ground. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) If you think big things will come to you without you expending any necessary effort, you’ll be sadly mistaken. Good training and hard work are needed to generate rewards. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) There is nothing wrong with wanting to have a good time, but there is a strong possibility that you’ll be operating under some wasteful urges at this time, so be careful. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) For the sake of your reputation, do not attempt to take credit for something that was actually achieved by another. It will be quite embarrassing when you are exposed. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Although you’re the type of person who thinks things through before jumping into action, you could be so anxious to get airborne that you’ll forget your plane needs an engine to fly.
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.

Bridge by Phillip Alder Joshua Reynolds, an 18th-century English artist, said, “Could we teach taste or genius by rules, they would be no longer taste and genius.” When we learn bridge, we are taught several rules that are right most of the time; for example, second hand low and third hand high. Others, like cover an honor with an honor, are often wrong. This threeno-trump contract is easy to make if declarer applies another rule, one that works all the time -- with one proviso. What would you do after West leads the spade six? Your sequence showed 25-27 points and a balanced hand. North had nowhere to go.
You have eight top tricks: one spade (given trick one), three hearts, three diamonds and one club. You will obviously get the extra trick from clubs. What can you learn from West’s lead? Presumably he has led his fourth-highest spade. If so, you can apply the Rule of Eleven, which must work. Six (the value of the card) from 11 is five. This means that there are five spades higher than the six in the North, East and South hands combined. And you can see all five. Ergo, East has no high spade and West has led from a suit headed by the A-Q-8-6. Since East has no high spade, call for dummy’s
10. When it wins -- as you know it will -- take the club finesse. When that works, you cruise home with two overtricks. Note that if you win trick one in hand, East will get in with his club king and push a spade through, giving West four tricks in the suit and killing your contract.
