Snow storm brings smiles to skiers RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A winter wonderland has unfolded and that’s great news for skiers. Valley-bottom rain on the weekend has translated into a 50-centimetre alpine base at Silver Star Mountain Resort, meaning the resort’s nordic trails open Saturday. At the adjacent Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre, cross-country skiing begins Friday. “A week ago, it was so mild and warmer here than it was in town. We were getting worried a little bit,” said Anne Haight, the resort’s new sales and marketing director. “But in 24 hours we went from fall to boom. You have to love it.” On Saturday, there will be 53 kilometres of trails available including the Meadow Trail, the Sidewinder, the Tin Tin, the Alder Point Loop, the Comin’ Round The Mountain, Howie’s Loop and Moose Alley. At Sovereign Lake, there is 40 centimetres of snow. “Conditions should be some of the best early-season skiing in the past five years,” said Scott Lemon, SLNC general manager. “We will be opening 25 kilometres of trails, including popular trails Carl Wylie and the World Cup. Trails will be ready for both skate and classic skiing.” And if the snowfall continues, it’s expected that the alpine
season will begin at Silver Star Nov. 28. “I have the skis out and ready to go,” said Haight. “It (season) is here, it’s realistic.” Beyond preparing the trails and watching the weather forecast, Silver Star staff have been busy spreading the word about the resort and the North Okanagan. “Our marketing team just came back from Calgary and there was a good response in Toronto,” said Haight. “I am heading to Seattle this weekend.” Silver Star has also unveiled the MyMtnFlexiCard, which costs $179 and reduces an adult day ticket to $60. The new card is valid for three days of skiing/ snowboarding, any three days of the winter season. The deadline to buy the MyMtnFlexiCard is Dec. 26 and it is available only to residents of B.C., Alberta and Washington State. Haight was the Star’s marketing manager in 2006 and she has more than 20 years experience, including at Sun Peaks and Banff. “We are thrilled to welcome back Anne to the Silver Star family,” said Michael Sherwood, resort general manager. “We know that Anne has the creativity, passion, and fresh ideas to grow Silver Star’s reputation as the premier mountain destination it is.”

Police may have lead in commercial break-ins For the first time in four weeks, there were no commercial break-and-enters in Vernon over the weekend. And police believe they may know why. A man police feel may be responsible for some of the
break-ins is in custody. Five businesses were hit over the three-week period. “He is remanded and there is still a lot of work to be done on this matter,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “One or two individuals can create our statistics to go up and down. It
would appear since the arrest of the latest individual, we have seen a decline in activity. Nothing recorded of major commercial break-and-enters in the last few days.” The suspect is a 32-yearold man who was being sought by police as he had an outstanding warrant for
break-and-enter, mischief and breach of probation. Vernon RCMP got lucky as they found the suspect while dealing with another matter. “Our officers went into a house in an attempt to retrieve a stolen television when one of the officers noticed a foot

find out if we have surveillance tapes or sometimes a witness will come forward,” he said. “There are times we are quite confident that an individual is responsible but you have to prove it in a court of law. You can’t go on assumption. You must have hard evidence.”

Governance petition results in the works
Crane Day
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
It’s taking longer than expected to determine if there is public interest in evolving Greater Vernon’s governance model. The Society for the Future Governance of Greater Vernon had anticipated releasing results from its petition campaign on Monday or Tuesday, but that process has been delayed. “We had some petitions come in on the weekend from people who were canvassing,” said Bruce Shepherd, society president. “We have to do some verification of some mail-in petitions.” The process will include removing any duplicate names from the online petition and determining which jurisdictions the signatories live in. Society members will meet today and results could be available Thursday morning. The petition, which urges local and provincial authorities to develop a plan to combine Vernon, Coldstream and Areas B and C into a single entity, was launched Sept. 8 and ran until Oct. 31. The society hopes to collect 4,000 names total, including 2,500 online. On Monday morning, the online petition was indicating 1,637 signatures.

Members of the Vernon Yacht Club had the opportunity Sunday morning to have their sailboats and speed boats lifted out of the water for winter storage. Dan Anderson’s cruiser FantaSea was one of 20 boats lifted out of the water to be placed up on blocks or put on a trailer for the winter months.
Landing residents warned about hungry bears Morning Star Staff
Hungry black bears are causing issues along waterfront homes in Okanagan Landing. The problem area is at waterfront homes on Okanagan Landing Road just past Paddlewheel Park, where conservation officers have received lots of complaints of a large black bear showing up on doorsteps and decks looking for food or ripping apart garbage. “Complaints are peaking on Wednesday nights because most residents put their garbage out the night before as collection starts at 7 a.m.,” said Marnie Cuthill, City of Vernon WildSafeBC community
coordinator. “Most everyone I have talked to are retirees. I garbage surveyed this area in June and July and more than 60 per cent of households had their garbage out on the road the night before.” Two weeks ago, Cuthill said she put up Bear Alert posters, sent out an information bulletin to the Okanagan Landing Community Association members and attended the community garage sale with an information booth in hopes of getting the message out. Last Thursday morning, garbage cans were spread everywhere along Okanagan Landing Road according to one of the
callers – and there were even more calls to the conservation officer reporting line. “This bear is definitely garbage habituated and has no fear of humans, and the latest call now reported a younger second black bear,” said Cuthill. “The good news is that they should be heading for hibernation at any time now so if people will just be responsible with their garbage and pick any remaining fruit off their trees, the problem will be gone – at least until spring.” Cuthill is asking the waterfront residents to keep their garbage in until Thursday morning. “Just because they don’t see the bear, doesn’t mean there isn’t a problem,” she said.

Police seek witnesses in hit-and-run roger knox
Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP are asking for the public’s help in relation to a hit-and-run accident Oct. 28. At around 7 p.m., a Vernon resident was making a righthand turn into the parking lot of the Esso service station at 3400-32nd Street. “The victim and witnesses told police that they saw a late-model Mazda Precidia attempting to pass on the right-hand side,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson

eastbound on 33rd Avenue. The 47-year-old Vernon driver and her 12-year-old daughter in the Toyota were examined by emergency health services personnel and
did not require further medical attention. “They left with a friend, the car had to be towed in,” said Molendyk. The Mazda, said Molendyk, would likely have damage to its front end, possibly on the left-hand side. Anyone who might have witnessed this accident or knows about it is asked to call the Vernon RCMP at 250545-7171. You can also call North Okanagan-Shuswap Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

No one was seriously injured in a two-vehicle accident that closed Highway 97 south of Bailey Road for a time Saturday afternoon. Vernon RCMP officers responded to a report of a two-vehicle crash at about 3:20 p.m. “An older Toyota Celica was northbound when his vehicle began to hydroplane and was going sideways in the southbound lane when it was struck by a Toyota Tacoma,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The truck hit the car just behind the rear wheels and the impact sheared the back end of the car off. Everyone in the two vehicles was wearing seatbelts and nobody was seriously injured in the crash. “There were three people in the truck, a husband and wife, 39- and 37-years-old, and a twoyear-old,” said Molendyk. All went to hospital to be checked out for injuries.” The lone male driver in the car is 58 and from Vernon. He was not injured but is facing possible charges in connection with the accident. The road at the time was full of water due to heavy rain. “Even one of our officers on his way to the scene said he had to slow down and adjust his speed because of all the water on the road,” said Molendyk.

News Rebirth for valley wolf population judie steeves
Don’t Let Your Windows Leave You In A Fog
Black Press
Not so long ago it was accepted that there was no wolf population in the Okanagan, but that’s certainly not the case today and wolves have been sighted close to human populations in the valley this fall. Wildlife biologist Brian Harris with the Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Ministry in Penticton, says he estimates, based on both anecdotal and scientific data, that there are 80 to 100 wolves in this area. As a result, an open season for hunting wolves, with a bag limit of three, was opened by the province in 2012. Harris noted that prior to their return to the Okanagan, there were populations of wolves all around the valley and those have now ‘spilled over’ into the Okanagan. Two weeks ago, a forestry crew member out of Merritt who was working in the forest near that community during the day with her two dogs, found herself being hunted by a pack of wolves who surrounded her. She yelled at them and convinced them to back off and her dogs went after them, but it proved to be fatal for one of them. His attack permitted her to reach her truck, along with both dogs, but one of the dogs did not survive. The incident serves as a warning to people either working or recreating in the wild around the Okanagan, to be prepared to meet wolves. “There’s no reason to panic,” Harris emphasized, but he said people should be prepared to defend themselves from an attack. Wolves normally prey on deer, moose, elk and smaller mammals, including pets. Even mature bull moose are vulnerable to predation by wolves in winter, he explained.
Dirty Foggy Windows
Many homes built between the late 70s and the early 90s experience sealed unit failure. Unit failure leads to condensation forming between the two layers of glass causing them to steam and fog up.
Is There a Solution?
Yes, the only real solution is to replace the sealed unit. You only need to replace the glass not the frame which means it can be done easily with a minimum amount of disruption.

DISTRICT OF COLDSTREAM NOTICE OF WAIVER OF PUBLIC HEARING
file photo
Where once it was accepted that there were none, a biologist now says 80 to 100 wolves have been sighted in the Okanagan. They lose bone mass and nutrition to the growth of large antlers in late summer and early fall, causing a temporary osteoporosis and brittle bones. Then they go into the rut in October, during which they don’t eat, so by the time winter sets in, they’re not in good condition. That leaves them vulnerable to attack by a pack of wolves, particularly when the snow gets deep and forms a crust, causing moose
to have trouble getting around, but allowing the wolf to pad around on top. Normally, grey wolves tend to be secretive and nocturnal. Harris said he gathered his anecdotal information by keeping track of accounts from sportsmen, ranchers, guide outfitters and conservation officers for three years, and found when he plotted them on a map, there were two big clusters of reports in
the Grand Forks and the Cherryville areas, but there were reports of them all over the Okanagan. They can hunt in a very large range, but sometimes their ranges overlap, he said. Presently, there is a healthy moose population in the Okanagan, and elk are also doing well, said Harris. While mule deer populations are spotty, white-tailed deer are holding their own in number.

Special people
thought I knew everything there was to know about Vernon Jubilee Hospital. After all, I had covered hospital board meetings and virtually every controversy for 23 years. My teenagers had been born there and who can forget the late night visits to emergency when my then-toddlers had ear infections. The last 12 years have also had me involved as a volunteer director with the VJH Foundation, which raises funds for equipment and patient comfort. But even with that background, I didn’t know anything about what goes on behind the scenes until severe pain roused me from a peaceful sleep. Immediately, a new relationship evolved. I was now a patient. Upon arrival, I went Richard Rolke through triage and was given a wrist band. I was immediately in the able hands of emergency doctors and nurses who diagnosed a kidney stone. Prescriptions were issued and I was sent home. And when I returned two days later, no one passed judgement about my ability to tolerate pain. In fact, I was kept in overnight – my first stay in a hospital in 27 years - to ensure I was hydrated and functioning properly. Through the pain killer haze, I could see the ER nurse changing my IV bottle and checking my vitals. When I was moved on to a ward, the nurses were attentive even though it was 3:45 a.m. I always felt like my needs were a priority. I was not alone. Once again I was sent home to see if nature would take its course, but it didn’t and my family doctor and the urologist decided the next step was surgery. I was nervous but I soon realized I had

a team behind me. Of course there was my family, but there were also the nurses, the doctors, the lab technicians, the folks who moved me from floor to floor and the housekeeping staff who offered a smile and stopped to chat. I take two particular memories away from this experience. First, was the food services worker who initially gave me a container of apple juice as I was only on a liquid diet at the time. Within seconds, though, my situation was upgraded to solids and I immediately heard a bright and cheery voice say, “I got your breakfast for you dear.” It was only toast and cereal, but it was like sitting down to a four-course meal. A couple of days later, I was wandering the ward waiting for surgery when I heard that familiar voice - “You’re back again dear?” Patients come and go but I was made to feel special. Second, is the elderly man who could not walk but insisted on going to the washroom instead of using a bed pan. That required moving him off a bed and into a wheelchair, wheeling him to the washroom and then helping him off the chair. The routine then had to be repeated as he was taken back to bed. With demands stacking up, the nurse could have dictated the less time-consuming bed pan. But instead of thinking of herself, the nurse’s entire focus was on this gentleman and maintaining his dignity. Compassion is a trait often missing from our society, but I saw it clearly demonstrated on 3West that day. There’s no question that challenges exist within the health care system. There are staffing shortages, not enough beds and funding is always inadequate. Those are issues that must be addressed. But my recent experience has revealed that even with the systematic uncertainty, our community is served by committed and caring professionals. Their dedication should never be forgotten.
In its continuing drive to modernize liquor laws, the provincial government announced it’s exploring the idea that B.C.ers could buy their veggies, milk and booze all under one roof. Although advocacy groups and the police might shout that this opens the door for easier access to booze for minors and that it might encourage more drinking by adults, previous easing of liquor laws hasn’t promoted the wholesale decay of society. Naysayers cried doom decades ago when the province allowed the emergence of neighbourhood pubs, and then again when liquor retailing was pried from the government monopoly. In all cases, the heavy hand of regulation and oversight isn’t far off. The government indicates it won’t increase the number of licences to sell beer and wine – it’s about shifting existing liquor retailers into grocery stores, which would use their own staff and registers to regulate sales, and presumably bear the brunt of fines if they sell to minors. Many stores already have pharmacies, coffee chains and restaurants operating independently within their stores. Hosting a cold beer and wine store wouldn’t be a stretch. And for 221 rural grocery stores across B.C., selling booze and food staples under the same roof isn’t new. It’s encouraging the government is hinting at other reforms, but right now we’re still pretty far from rules that make sense. For example, parents can bring their kids to restaurants where mom and dad can have a burger and a beer, but the same family can’t go to a pub or a Royal Canadian Legion for the exact same meal and drink. After living for generations under oddball liquor regulations, most B.C residents and businesses are ready for laws that are consistent, make sense and realistically balance the implications for public health.

that held a vote on GMO both voted more than 90 per cent to become genetically engineered free. At the UBCM, 60 per cent of community leaders voted to ask the province to make all of B.C. GE free. For the chairperson to now refuse to give advice on this matter is unacceptable. It is a blatant diversionary tactic and a clear refusal to represent the public who has spoken clearly on this matter. The actions, or non-actions of director Macnabb, have made it clear from the beginning he has been opposed to our region working to be GE free. Clearly, director Macnabb should step down as chairperson of this committee. Director Macnabb states, "the people can make their own choice." They already have. Yet RDNO continues to defer this issue, to neither accept the votes that have occurred or do its own referendum, even though it has been informed that time is of great importance. This is a clear indication that RDNO is refusing to represent the people.
The recent charges against RDNO for not doing due diligence in protecting the water of this area can also apply to this. Despite having been clearly informed about the severe environmental, health and economic risks associated with allowing GM crops to continue, it is not protecting our area from further contamination while being completely aware that by not making a decision, it is allowing further contamination. If the board on Nov. 6 cannot make a decision based on the will of the people, if it refuses to accept the votes that have occurred as representative, then it must call for a referendum without delay.

Hospital will be completed. My husband injured both shoulders four years ago, which required surgery on both shoulders. By the time he got to see the surgeon and get tests done and got on the surgery list, they had changed the rules at the hospital and now you can only be on the surgery list for one surgery. This meant he had to choose which shoulder to get done first, and then go on the list for the other shoulder. He has been on the list for six months and the prediction is that it will be one to two more years yet. What does not seem to be addressed is the fact that the completion of the two floors, at a cost of $29.6 million, is only going to get us 14 new beds anyway. This means there will be little improvement for people needing a bed in the hospital or decrease in surgery wait times. Since the hospital is usually eight to 20 per cent over capacity daily, a lot of patients will probably just have a better hallway to stay in when there are no beds. sharon rauhala

Its benefit to each of the communities along the way would include attracting people who want to live in a community with access to this healthy form of safe, green transportation. Just as any major form of transportation improvement from highway to rapid transit, there will be increased usage, promoting development along the corridor. This abandoned railway corridor must remain a transportation corridor for the public and must not be allowed to be sold off into separate private pieces. We implore and support all levels of government to act quickly and decisively to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that this amazing community connector stays as a vital transportation link. It would not only serve the needs of today but for future generations as well, promoting a green and healthy way to live.

a response If an advisory committee won't advise and representatives won't represent, who can people count on? Since the Regional District of North Okanagan was unwilling to make a decision on supporting, or not supporting the resolution proposed by Bee Safe to be a GMO-free community, it formed the regional agricultural advisory committee more than a year ago. The role of this committee was to advise RDNO on this issue so it could make the decision. The proof of contamination has been admitted by the committee itself, showing that co-existence is impossible. For director Macnabb, chairperson of the committee, to now refuse to give advice makes a mockery of the entire process and of the hundreds of people who showed up at meetings or wrote letters asking NORD to protect organic and conventional growers. It is also an insult to committee members who took their responsibility seriously. The two communities in RDNO

Debaters host goes with the flow Comic Steve Patterson riffs on whatever comes to mind when he brings his solo tour to Vernon
Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
There is no debate. Steve Patterson is a funny guy. But for anyone who has listened to his hit CBC Radio show, The Debaters, the guy also has an infectious laugh. It’s that genuine guffaw — a mix between a high-pitched giggle and a manly chortle — that rings out on the airwaves on the show he hosts. Best described as an unscripted comedian, Patterson admits it’s sometimes hard to hold it together when his fellow comics crack wise on such subjects as the merits of meat, or why seasoned rock stars should hang up their Fenders, or whether Sasquatch or Ogopogo is the superior legendary creature, as what happened when The Debaters was taped live in Kelowna last year. “I’ve come perilously close to losing it a few times. That’s where my Depends come in handy,” he said, with that laugh. And it’s no secret that what you hear on the radio, laughs and all, is basically how a debate happens live on the stage. “I sometimes read the script or the opening arguments before a debate goes on, but mostly I like to hear it when it’s happening in front of a live audience,” said Patterson. “I like to be an audience member commenting on the show. I also don’t want to interrupt their flow.” That go-with-the-flow method is not an act as audiences will see and hear when Patterson makes his way to theatres on the western leg of his new solo stand-up tour, This is Not Debatable. It hits these shores with a stop at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Sunday. It’s his winning off-the-cuff and observant style that has endeared Patterson to audiences and garnered him his second Male Stand-Up Comedian of the Year nod from the 2013 Canadian Comedy Awards held last month. It also means Patterson gets noticed a lot more these days, especially while travelling. Part of that has to do with the televised version of The Debaters, which aired briefly last year and was recently axed by the CBC. (Don’t worry, the radio show lives on.) “We taped these episodes in Vancouver and they ended up being played on Air Canada flights,” said Patterson. “You know you’ve made it when you are sitting in economy class with your fellow Canadians and you
get the slow head turn in your direction and the polite ‘hey.’” Then there are those polite Canadians who love to tell comedians their own jokes — sometimes while the comic is in the middle of his or her act. Patterson takes it all in stride. “I like people to actually participate in my show, admittedly in a rather less disparaging way. I don’t really get hecklers, most of the feedback I get is positive.” As someone who knows just about every comedian in this country, Patterson attributes that tendency to be funny to the fact that we can laugh at ourselves. Just look at what’s happening right now in Toronto with a certain mayor and a couple of senators in Ottawa — it’s fodder for comedians everywhere, he says. “It’s a great time to be a comic, but it’s the best and worst times in this country,” said Patterson, comparing the Canadian sense of humour to that of Ireland and Australia. “We are OK with self-deprecating humour. We know it’s a joke and what makes it funny, unless you are someone who can’t take a joke... When I’ve toured the U.K. or the States, they are OK with making fun of themselves, but if you are from another country making fun of them, well it doesn’t go down as well.” That’s where it helps to improvise and read your audience, says Patterson who looks to Scottish comic Billy Connolly as someone who is master of the riff. “He starts with a premise, then goes to wherever in the middle, then gets back to the point,” said Patterson. “I am not a good actor. I talk about the things I find funny, but after the apparent stuff, there’s a few jokes that come from how the flow is going or what I feel. I don’t fake emotions or events in my life. I like the freedom to go wherever I can, and not have it all planned out.” That reflects in Patterson’s tendency to break into song while doing a set. (Yes, the host of those master debaters sings.) Although he is not touring with a band at the moment, Patterson says audiences should expect a few tunes of the satirical kind to blend into the evening. “I like music and can carry a tune even though no one else in my family is musical,” he said. “I don’t do parodies much anymore. I think as comedians, we appreciate originality, but it can be hard to come up an original song. However, I do get the audience singing or clapping along.” And laughing.

Locals serve up stories in Chicken Soup Morning Star Staff
Two local authors are serving up some comfort food with their stories that have been accepted in the latest Chicken Soup for the Soul series: O Canada, The Wonders of Winter. Award-winning novelist Patricia Donahue of Vernon and Diane Nicholson of Armstrong made the cut when their stories were accepted into the popular life improvement books, where people share real stories to Diane Nicholson bring hope, wellness, inspiration and love to hundreds of millions of people around the world. “This is only the second issue devoted to Canada and Canadian authors,” said Donahue. “In 2002, the first issue hit The New York Times’ bestseller list in a flash.” The women’s submissions were in the top one Patricia Donahue per cent of hundreds of stories entered from across Canada. The collection also includes a story by Lynn Johnston, the cartoonist and creator of the comic strip, For Better or For Worse. This is Nicholson’s sixth story published in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. “I have two stories in the first Chicken Soup for the Canadian Soul,” said Nicholson, who is also a photographer and is currently working on her first novel. “I’ve been told that the other books are being re-released at the same time.” All stories in the Chicken Soup books have to be about true happenings and the editors check every detail for verification, said Donahue.
“In my story Bruno’s Bruin, I was questioned about the mountain and asked if the mountain was named Lone Goat Peak, or Lone Goat Mountain. Tongue-incheek, I told them it was just really high,” she laughed. Tuesday’s launch party for all the authors was held in Toronto, the same day the books were released to bookstores. This is Donahue’s second published work this year. Her sequel novel, Mighty Orion - Secrets, following 2010’s Mighty Orion - Fate, was published by Borealis Press in Ottawa and follows the story of a crusty, old tall ship sailor who is forced to mend bridges with his family. Copies of the book are available in Vernon at K&K Bookstore and The Cracked Pot Coffee Shop and book signings take place at Bookingham Palace in Salmon Arm Nov. 17 and at Coles Books in the Village Green Centre Nov. 30. Donahue is also giving a novel writing workshop at the Vernon library meeting room this Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. The workshop, which is part of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), is open to all levels of experience. Registration is required and spaces are limited. Call 250-542-7610 ext. 1375 to register or e-mail khennings@orl.bc.ca. The workshop is free.

Members of the Fountainview Academy Orchestra join the choir is spreading the Christmas message in concert at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Nov. 21.
Season begins with concert Fountainview Academy Orchestra and Choir performs free Christmas show Nov. 21 Morning Star Staff
It’s coming to that time of year again and to get ready for the season, the Fountainview Academy Orchestra and Choir will present A Saviour is Born live in concert at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Thursday, Nov. 21. The special family Christmas experience, coming to communities across B.C., will see the orchestra and choir perform masterful arrangements of holiday favourites such as Joy to the World, Angels from the Realms of Glory, and a thrilling rendition of George F. Handel’s The Hallelujah Chorus as well as an all-new student orchestrated composition of the classic, Go Tell it On the Mountain. “Great for young and old alike, this holiday concert is a must-see. Even for non-Christians, it is easy to
share this free gift of the season with your family, friends and neighbours,” said Fountainview music director Crag Cleveland.

Journey towards success For Sam Plovie, reaching her goal has been a team effort
Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
When Sam Plovie told her husband she thought she’d like to learn about feng shui, little did she know that she was about to embark on a journey that would take her to her current position as a senior practitioner of the ancient Chinese art. But she said without the people supporting her on the journey, she would not be where she is. “I am successful because of who my teachers are,” said Plovie, who runs Chi Solutions. Two of those people are Teresa Hwang and Howard Ketola, both based in Vernon. Hwang is a world-class master and lecturer with the Feng Shui Research Centre. Sifu (master) Ketola runs Chung Yan Man’s Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan School in Vernon. “I want to let Vernon know that is has these amazing masters right here in its own back garden,” said Plovie. “They deserve to be highlighted and honoured, for they have truly walked a long path, and have learned well from masters themselves and now give so freely to others. “Teresa mentored me personally and I thank her eternally for that: I owe her everything. People don’t understand the level that Howard and Teresa have — and real masters don’t use the title, they are unassuming and quiet; when the student is ready the master appears.” Plovie connected with Ketola after seeing his ad for classes. “We just connected and I knew. I had to slow down, and he was able to do that. From the first time we met, I knew I was to be his student, and understand only too well his influence on my success. Howard’s calm influence and yet precise martial art training
is exactly what I have needed to engage the mental discipline I need in my work. “It takes a village to raise a child, but it takes a village to be successful. My teachers have guided my path so well, and provided me with the solid foundation I now have in my personal life and business life. I am successful because of Vernon and want to thank the community for what it has done for me. I believe that the family is the heart of the community, and the community is at the heart of the family.” And Plovie gives credit to her husband, Rick, for his support and to their two children, Mackenzie and Spencer, for the energy, love and joy they bring to her life. “No matter what teachers I’ve had, none compare to the support of the man behind me,” she said. “He is the silent rock that I can lean on, the solid foundation that I can stand upon and he is always there, behind the scenes, waiting for me. “He is the main secret behind my success: the provider of millions of cups of tea, the sounding board, the late night chef when I forgot to eat, you name it, he did it, he is always there for me.” Plovie and her family moved to the North Okanagan 12 years ago and in the three years since she has been a feng shui and Chinese astrology practitioner, she has built up an extensive client list, who contact her for any number of reasons. “When I am hired, it does not mean the business is going bankrupt, or the marriage crumbling; it means the people recognize there is untapped potential, and they want to harness that.” From reading Feng Shui for Dummies, to getting up the nerve to ask Hwang out for coffee so she could learn more, to actually studying the ancient art of feng shui, it’s been a fast ride for Plovie, from student to senior practitioner and lecturer. Next stop is master, but she said it’s time to slow down. “I worked hard for this to get to the level I’m at, but now

We can’t rush Chinese metaphysics.” Plovie brings a sense of humour to her work, but she said she takes what she does very seriously. “I work with corporations and individuals to bring better health, wealth and happiness into their lives,” she said. “In a nutshell, I uncover the root of their issues, and help them understand the changes they should make to improve their lives. It’s all about self-awareness and supporting people to be the best they can be.” Plovie founded Chi Solutions in 2010, the same year she completed her studies from the Feng Shui Research Centre in Toronto. She prac-
tises Xuan Kong Fei Xing, which translates to Flying Star Feng Shui and incorporates time and space in its analysis. As well, she is trained in the art of BaZi, the Four Pillars of Destiny known as Chinese Astrology. Plovie gives credit, also, to a fourth person, Master Joseph Yu, the founder of the Feng Shui Research Centre in Toronto, who created the school that teaches true classic feng shui. “He teaches us to think, teaches us to question and is accepting of all cultures and views. I have moved very fast inside his school and now it is time to stand still, and gather my thoughts and build upon them.”

ovember has hit us with a blast of cold weather, certainly bringing the coming winter to my attention! I need winter tires put on; the floating dock brought in (might get to this one at the first snow fall); there is wood to split and pile; gardening stuff to store away, you know the routine; could it be that we’re a tad behind? I wrote my first Kitchen Wit & Wisdom column this week some 15 years ago, offering two of my favourite soup recipes, and ever since I’ve chosen to offer soup reciCathi Litzenberger pes on this anniversary date. Making soup is the perfect time to transfer positive energy and love into something that will nourish and feed the people you love. If, while you’re making your soup, your mind is on thankfulness, love and positive thoughts, this energy will be stirred right into the mix and those eating it will be nourished physically, emotionally and spiritually, such is the reality of energy, both positive and negative. If you like clam chowder, you’re sure to enjoy today’s recipe. It has a real full-bodied flavour due to chopping the clams into tiny pieces. The second is a wonderful quinoa vegetarian chowder that is excellent with crusty bread. Enjoy! Bacon clam chowder Soup for Two 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth 1 medium potato, peeled and cubed 1/2 cup chopped celery

Renowned Bikram teacher offers clinic Morning Star Staff
Senior Bikram yoga teacher Jim Kallett will be visiting Vernon this week, and North Okanagan residents are encouraged to take advantage of his vast knowledge and experience. Kallett has been a faculty member at the world famous Bikram Yoga Teacher Training sessions for more than 15 years and is a director and instructor at Bikram’s Yoga College of India in San Diego, Calif. On Friday, Kallett will provide a lecture open to the public from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Bikram Yoga Vernon, at a cost of $5 per person. “The lecture will be about the philosophy, history and ideas of yoga, what yoga is, how it works, why everyone has to do it, and how Bikram yoga is unique,” said Dionne Kopeck, owner/director of the Vernon studio, which offers daily classes in “the original hot yoga.” On Saturday, Kallett will provide a full day posture clinic at Bikram Yoga Vernon for beginning, intermediate and advanced students. Space is limited, and preregistration required. The all-day seminar cost is $100 plus tax; for more details, drop by the studio at 3204-29th St. or call 778-475-5845. “Jim is a world class teacher, mentor, and trainer,” said Kessa Schroeder, Bikram Yoga Vernon instructor. “Jim was at the fifth ever Bikram teacher training, and has been faculty at Bikram’s worldrenowned yoga teacher trainings since 1998. “We are blessed to have someone with his level of experience come into our area. Get ready, Vernon, you don’t want to miss this.”

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder WHEN IT LOOKS BAD, BE AN OPTIMIST George Jean Nathan, a drama critic and an editor who died in 1958, said, “An optimist is a fellow who believes a housefly is looking for a way to get out.” At the bridge table, players tend to be optimists or pessimists. In this deal, for example, look at the East and North hands. East is defending against four spades. West leads the club jack. What should East do? In Standard American, South’s three-spade rebid shows extra values (usually 15-17 high-card points) and a good six-card suit. It is gameforcing after North’s twoover-one response. If you are using two-over-one game-
force, then three spades promises a solid suit and sets it as trumps. The responder is asked to control-bid (cuebid) if interested in a slam. Here, North has a borderline hand. He could justify a fourdiamond or four-heart controlbid. But since South has no side first-round control, he would sign off in four spades. The dummy is depressing. East knows that if declarer needs a diamond finesse, it is working. East can see two club winners. Maybe West has a trump trick (but not if South has shown a solid suit). What other chance is there? None, apparently. Well, there is one -- West might be void of diamonds. After winning with his club king, East should shift to a
diamond. Here, West ruffs, returns a club to East’s ace, and receives another ruff for down one. Houseflies, be gone! Some players would find this ruff, but only at trick three. They cannot resist immediately cashing available tricks. Take your time and think through the deal.

municipalities with only one licence, so business owners can spend less time doing paperwork and more time on making their businesses a success. The program reduces red tape by allowing mobile businesses to operate in more than one municipality by purchasing only one licence, instead of obtaining non-resident permits in each municipality in which they operate. Here in the Shuswap, the communities of Sicamous, Salmon Arm, Spallumcheen, Enderby and Armstrong participate in the Mobile Business License program and are seeing its many benefits. October was Small Business Month in B.C., and I want to hear your ideas on how to cut red tape. I’m especially interested in this area, given my own business background and my role as Parliamentary Secretary for the B.C. Jobs Plan. I encourage you to e-mail me at Greg. Kyllo.MLA@leg.bc.ca.

Rona backs diabetes awareness Morning Star Staff
With more than nine million Canadians living with diabetes or pre-diabetes, chances are, most Canadians know someone living with the disease. From coast to coast, November is Diabetes Awareness Month with local events and fundraising activities. Awareness and funds will support the vital work of the Canadian Diabetes Association, which is leading the fight against diabetes by helping people with diabetes live a healthy life while they work to find a cure. In recognition of Diabetes Awareness Month, the Clothesline Okanagan team is launching the Fill the Bagster clothing drive at Okanagan Rona stores until
Sunday. This initiative is timely as Nov. 14 is World Diabetes Day and it provides the public with an opportunity to help both the Canadian Diabetes Association and the environment. Donors are encouraged to bring donations of gently-used clothing, jackets, shoes, linens, household items and electronics to the Vernon Rona store at 2201 58th Ave. Ongoing advocacy successes have provided improved care of Canadians living with diabetes both provincially and federally. In addition to these efforts, the association operates 12 camps, serving 1,600 children with type-one diabetes and their families across Canada each summer.

Literacy centre offers reading workshop Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan children, and parents, are being invited to Come Read with Me. The Junction Literacy Centre offers the Come Read with Me workshops in the Vernon School District to parents with children in Grade 1. “I absolutely love the Come Read with Me workshop. It puts parents on the right foot to help them foster their children’s love of books,” said Rheannell Gow, a mother of two. For parents who don’t think they have enough time to read, she says that her family reads to both children as part of their bed time routine. She and her husband started reading nursery rhymes to their oldest daughter, Evelyn, when she was a newborn. Now Evelyn reads to her younger sister and the siblings bond over books. “Their imagination just soars,” said Rheanell, adding that the best way to get her kids to sleep has been to, “turn off the TV and open a book.” Charlene Baker, learning resource teacher at Alexis Park Elementary, emphasizes that for parents who feel they “don’t have the temperament to support their child’s reading, it is important to read books with just the right text so reading is easy. Books that are too hard discourage parents and children.” The Come Read with Me work-
shop gives parents enjoyable ways to reinforce what their children are learning about reading in school. Parents learn some fun, simple strategies to turn their kids onto books and to help them to become confident readers. These workshops take the guesswork away for parents who aren’t sure how to encourage and support their child’s early reading skills,” said Debbie Schiller, executive director of the Junction Literacy Centre. “For many parents, it reinforces that they are on the right track.” Families also receive a free kit of fun reading supplies including a book, a flashlight (for reading under the covers at night) and some word cards and magnets. “The fun book, games and family-friendly tips help make reading together relaxing and stress-free,” said Schiller. The workshop is made possible thanks to $10,000 from Nixon Wenger Lawyers for this and other family literacy projects. The donations is the fourth of a five-year, $50,000 commitment to the Junction Literacy Centre from Nixon Wenger. “All parents with children in grade one should watch for an invitation and plan to attend,” said Schiller of the Come Read with Me workshop.

Vipers hit hard in OT Grizz win 4-3 thriller KEViN MiTcHEll Sports Editor

Vernon Panthers’ Karson Patommel runs through the Fulton Maroons’ defence as he pushes past Tye Kitzman in senior AA football action Saturday afternoon at Grahame Park. The Panthers won the city championship 17-8.
Panthers city champs Morning Star Staff
The VSS Panthers go into the provincial senior AA football playoffs Friday night undefeated and ready for yet another road game. VSS closed out the Interior Conference regular season by taking down the Fulton Maroons 17-8 in a rain-drenched city championship tilt Saturday at Grahame Park. Because Vernon does not have an artificial turf field in place yet (required for playoffs), the Panthers (8-0 overall) travel to host the Seaquam Seahawks (No. 4 South Seed) of Delta at Hillside Stadium in Kamloops (7:30 p.m. kickoff). “We’ve had to host playoff games in Kamloops for years so it’s nothing new,” said Cats’ head coach Sean Smith. “Playing in Vernon would be a huge advantage, but we’ve been without a home field (due to new school construction) for three-plus years so the boys have become accustomed to being road warriors.
We’ve been able to have some success against coast teams off the past two years, so we’ll give it our best shot.” Fulton drove 50 yards, capped by a Tye Kitzman touchdown pass to Davron Polok A successful two-point convert put the Maroons up 8-0 early. Panther signal caller John Garvie engineered a touchdown drive of his own, finding receiver Ty Thomas on a 20-yard pass. The extra point got the Panthers within one to end the quarter. The second quarter saw a number of possession changes, with a field goal by Cat kicker Zac Kronbauer being the only score. “We got off to a slow start,” said Smith. “The Fulton coaching staff had their boys ready to play and we came out flat and didn’t play assignment football. We made a couple of crucial coverage errors on the first drive that we, thankfully, cleaned up for the rest of the game.”

It was like seeing your lottery numbers come up and then losing your ticket in the wash. One moment they were mobbing defenceman Jason Bird and celebrating an overtime victory. A few moments later, they were slowly skating to the dressing room in disbelief. It was bizzaro all over the place for the Vernon Vipers as they dropped a drama-jammed 4-3 double-overtime thriller to the Victoria Grizzlies before 1,500 fans at Kal Tire Place Sunday afternoon. Rookie defenceman Kevin Massy scored at 4:26 of double OT, his first BCHL snipe. With the teams playing three-on-three, a loose puck squirted to a wide open Massy, who buried a wrister into an empty net with Viper goalie Michael Stiliadis guarding the right side. The Vipers happily face-washed Bird after his point shot beat Victoria goalie Nic Renyard 43 seconds into the first five-minute overtime. While the Vipers celebrated, referee Bryan Bourdon ruled there was incidental contact (Viper centre Michael McNicholas) with Reynard and waved off the snipe. “We obviously didn’t take advantage of a team that played three games in a two-and-a-half days, but give credit to them, they worked and skated hard,” said Vipers’ associate coach Kris Mallette, who helped put the Snakes through tough skating drills Monday morning to send a message that more effort is required. The Vipers were without top forwards Demico Hannoun and Mason Blacklock, while the Grizzlies missed all-stars Brandon Egli and Leo Fitzgerald. “After playing three games in two-and-a-half days, we just wanted to hang on,” said Victoria head coach Bill Bestwick. “We just did not want to give up the extra point in overtime. We were real thrilled to get out of here with the win. “Both teams were missing guys but we went hard and we better work hard because if we don’t, we don’t stand a chance against real good hockey teams.” First star Gerry Fitzgerald, who recorded his team-high 14th goal, captain Mark McLellan, with his second of the year, and Storm Wahlrab, with his third, also scored for the Grizzlies.

Panthers face Seaquam Continued from A25
Garvie’s arm struck again in the third quarter, hitting Andy Hladik on a deep corner route to put the Cats up by nine. Despite numerous red-zone chances, VSS couldn’t score in the fourth quarter. “We controlled the ball in the second half, but couldn’t punch it in despite numerous chances,” said Smith. “Our defence did a fantastic job picking them off three times and recovering two fumbles. We won the turnover battle which was a huge difference maker.” Grade 10 cornerback Zach Hyer continued to impress on the outside, registering two interceptions, and was in position to make a third. Linebacker Josh Froom led all Panther tacklers with eight while Grade 10 Linebacker Justin Haverkamp added six and Braydon Lodder and Hladik four each. Chase Larsen and Hyer each scooped one fumble recovery. Garvie was 6-for-9 passing for 77 yards, while Hladik recorded two catches for 35 yards. Karson Patommel rushed 16 times for 79 yards, while Kronbauer had 16 touch-
es for 63 yards “Congratulations to VSS on their undefeated season and their second city championship in three years,” said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. “They have proven themselves the class of the city and they are solid in all three phases of the game. Their coaching staff has done a great job.” Scheller felt the 3-3-2 Maroons were close to their best Saturday. “Our kids played tough and competed all game, and I think we did a good job of executing our game plan. In the end, VSS made the plays when they had to, and we did not. If a ball was 50/50, they won it. Tipped passes went their way, and their playmakers made plays when they had too.” Scheller praised middle linebacker Trevor Feeney for being an “absolute warrior” and also gave props to defensive end Carson Deboer, Kitzman, who also played safety, Polok and receiver Max Chapman. “Our o-line has been undersized all year, but Brett Shaigec, Deboer, Lucky Banga, Romello Coufal and Trent Smith all blocked their hearts out today.”

Sports Vipers make a deal Continued from A25
Victoria, who shaded the Salmon Arm SilverBacks 3-2 Saturday night, improved to 11-6-2-1 for second spot in the Island Division. Second star Liam Coughlin found fifth gear and scored his fifth and sixth goals of the season to spark the Vipers. The Boston product opened the offence 17 seconds in on a shot which bounced off Reynard’s back leg. Linemates McNicholas and Dexter Dancs drew assists. “I think he’s (Couglin) paying attention more to his positioning and he’s getting more chances,” said Mallette. “There’s more in the tank for him. He has a lot of potential.” Fitzgerald levelled things at 1-1 as he cruised to the mid-slot and converted on a hard backhand at 8:45 of the fast-paced, hardhitting first period. Dancs put Vernon ahead on a backhander along the ice, in tight, after some gorgeous feeds by Coughlin and McNicholas, on a powerplay at 8:07 of the second period.

first assist, while TJ Dumonceau earned the secondary assist. The Vipers went to 10-6-1-4, good for a share of second place with the Merritt Centennials, one point back of the West Kelowna Warriors, 5-1 losers to the visiting last-place Trail Smoke Eaters Saturday night. Earlier Sunday, the Vipers traded F Josh Betinol to the Calgary Mustangs of the AJHL for F Chase McMurphy. The 6-foot-1, 195pound McMurphy amassed 21 goals and 50 points with the Mustangs last year, his third in the AJHL.
They are 2-8 in their last 10 games and surrendered 20 goals in three weekend losses. North Okanagan Knights’ head coach Shawn Webb isn’t calling the Hockey Crisis Line just yet. He believes the Knights can find their way in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. The Knights lost 8-4 to the Princeton Posse in a Sunday matinee after falling 7-2 to the Beaver Valley Nite Hawks Saturday night, both at Nor-Val Sports Centre. “We had a meeting and told the guys we’re really comfortable with this group; we’re not going to blow this team up,” said Webb. “The beautiful thing is it’s all on
us. It’s very fixable and it’s just a matter of consistency. We’re good, but we’re not 60 minutes good. We give an inch and there’s not a team in this league that won’t take a mile.” The Knights’ talented but young back end is struggling to make good first passes out of the zone and the forwards are getting frustrated. Webb says the goal is to be five games over .500 by the Christmas break. The Knights (8-9-0-1) welcomed back veteran forward Tanner Burns, but lost d-man Ryley Booth with a separated shoulder in Friday’s 5-4 loss to Revelstoke, and forward Logan Mostat to a concussion while up with the BCHL Salmon Arm SilverBacks. Rookie forward
Tyler Godberson of Calgary requested and was granted his release. Californian Kurtis Klinger counted the powerplay hat trick for Princeton, giving him eight goals on the year. The Posse had a dozen powerplays. Eric Schmidt, Destin Robinson, Kraig Leochko, Devan Suidy and Eden Dubchak added singles for the 6-10-0-1 Posse, who entered the game tied for last overall in the KIJHL with the Spokane Braves. Captain TJ Christensen (2nd), Blake Culbert (3rd), Matt Halverson (2nd) and Mat Lambert (9th) replied for the Knights.

In Atom C Development play, the H&L Glass Jr. Vipers tied the Kamloops Pee Wee Female Mystix 7-7 Saturday at McArthur Island Sports Centre.

and weaved his way down the right side and finishing five-hole. Three minutes later, Emma Elders won a puck battle behind the Mystix net. Cash Anderson scooted in and surprised the goalie with a wrap-around between the pads. In the second, John Spraggs defused the Kamloops power play with some of his patented ragging. Kamloops’ first shot in 25 minutes found the net, and then a shorthanded strike five minutes later suddenly squared the affair. On the same power play, Maddex Minard seized back the momentum for Vernon, converting a pass from Bond. Shorthanded late, Nick Noren chased down a Quinn Soon clearance behind the Kamloops net, and found Elders who popped it upstairs in a jiffy. Thirty seconds later, Elders threaded a pass from the left corner to Noren for another shortie. Outshot 26-10 and down 5-2, the Mystix cued the comeback, scoring three times before the third period was six minutes old. Once again, Vernon wasted no time wresting back control. Brock Holliday picked off an errant pass, barged down the right side into the corner and centered to Bond. Anderson then won the puck behind the goal line for Noren, who swiftly swung in Vernon’s seventh on the wrap-around.

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our dear sweet mother and grandmother at the remarkable age of 97. She passed away in her garden, doing what she loved. Mary was born in Hairy Hill, Alberta and came to Vernon as a young bride. She will be missed by many, including her children: Elmer of Armstrong, Lorraine (Harry) Misura of Calgary, Melvin (Jacquie) of Vernon, Doug of Vancouver, and special nephew, Kelly (Roberta) Pinske of Vernon.

BETTY CLEMENT (nee Major) Dec. 4, 1922 – Oct. 27, 2013
Wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, ferocious bridge player, sharp investor, snappy dresser, loyal defender of those she loved, maker of lifelong friends and edžpert seamstress of Barbie clothes. BeƩy was both a woman of her era, the quintessenƟal edžecuƟve wife of the 50’s and 60’s and also an edžcepƟonally strong and independent woman in her own right. BeƩy was smart, wiƩy, fun and leaned more to the pracƟcal and self suĸcient than the warm and fuzzy. Born in Sudbury Ontario to William and Elsie Major, she was big sister to Bill, Jack, Colleen and Pat. Her father, a telegrapher, accepted a job in MaƩawa when BeƩy was 6 years old, where BeƩy Įnished high school then aƩended Rideau Street Convent in OƩawa. AŌer compleƟng her courses she worked at the Bank of Canada and shortly aŌer, she moved to Cooper Cliī to work at INCO. There she met the love of her life and married Gordon Clement on Nov 4, 1944. They were married 68 years when he passed away in 2012. She and Gordon moved to Toronto where he taught at the hniversity of Toronto. Gordon then joined the Alcan Aluminum Company and they moved to Arvida Yuebec. Thus began their network of friends. A connector of people and a person to whom others gravitated, BeƩy made friendships that lasted a lifeƟme. From northern Yuebec they moved with Alcan to Kingston, Montreal, Toronto and Įnally Vernon in 1973. When they celebrated their 50th anniversary many of their friends from all these ciƟes came to celebrate with them. Although BeƩy enjoyed the domesƟc arts and was a skilled seamstress, kniƩer and ͞smocker͟ (a long lost art she thought) she also had a keen Įnancial mind , ran the household Įnances and did the invesƟng. She became a highly successful real estate agent in Montreal. She conƟnued this career when they moved to Vernon along with geƫng her real estate appraisal licence. In addiƟon to their Alcan friends BeƩy had her group of bridge friends with whom she got together every week for 25 years. Her only rule was no chit chat unƟl aŌer the bidding was done and the cards played͊ She was acƟve in the Catholic Woman’s League at St. James Church as well as a member of the VJH Hospital Audžiliary and Board of the Vernon Art Gallery. BeƩy will be fondly remembered and forever missed by her children, Jane (Keith Godfrey), Lachlan (Heather Caravan) and Maureen (Richard Sherwin). BeƩy leaves Įve loving grandchildren, Heather (Andrew Gubbels), Mark, Danielle, Blaise, and Michael, and one precious great grandchild, Jack, as well as her siblings Colleen Blight (George), Pat Robbenhaar (Brant), JusƟce Jack Major (Helene) and was pre-deceased by William Major (Jean). We would like to edžpress our thanks to the wonderful and caring folks at Canterbury Court where BeƩy leaves many friends. A Funeral Mass will be held at St. James Catholic Church Friday Nov. 8th at 1pm A CelebraƟon of Life will be held at Canterbury Court, 3011 Gateby Place on Nov. 9th at 2pm. zou are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s on-line obituary Λ www.MyAlternaƟves.ca .

Regional growth strategy Bylaw The Regional Board has given first and second readings to the Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) Bylaw No. 1336. The existing Regional Growth Strategy has undergone extensive review since 2010 and responds to changes that have occurred since the original RGS was adopted in 2000 by addressing issues and future sustainability for the region. The bylaw will now be referred to all member municipalities and adjacent regional districts for acceptance, before it is considered for adoption by the Regional Board.

Q: A:
Will I remember what happens when I’m hypnotized?
Absolutely! Hypnosis is deep relaxation with focused concentration. You are aware of everything happening within you and around you. You are not asleep or unconscious. Hypnosis is really a state of relaxation that is between being awake and being asleep – between our awake, analytical, conscious thinking (Beta) state and the deep unconscious, asleep (Delta) state. So, you naturally go through this state at least twice a day – when you’re waking up and when you’re going to sleep. Because you’re not in a deep unconscious, asleep state, you’re completely aware of everything that is occurring. You are always, always, always aware and in control!

Q: A:
Is there such thing as a Spousal Separation Mortgage?
Yes there is! With a divorce rate of 40% in Canada, spousal mortgage buyout requests are becoming more and more common. When a couple separates, the separation of assets is one of the most difficult tasks to take on in order for the couple to get on with their lives. The new mortgage rules tell us that with one person staying in the home, they can’t refinance over 80% to take equity out to pay out their partner. There is a new way around this! We can now offer up to 95% to the appraised value of the home to allow for the equity take out paying out whichever spouse is leaving the home. You must have a legal separation outlining the division of assets and liabilities. This new mortgage helps clients through tough times and gives peace of mind knowing that just selling a home is not the only option. Call me for more details! E&O/OAC

Hearing loss happens for many reasons. Some people lose their hearing as they age (presbycusis). Loss may be caused by exposure to loud noise, by a virus or bacteria, heart conditions or stroke, head injuries, tumors and certain medicines. If your hearing changes suddenly, consult your doctor immediately.
Q: A:
Where there is a Will there is a way
Not all home inspectors use a Thermal Imaging Camera; in fact I am one of the only home inspectors in the Okanagan that uses a Thermal Imaging Camera. I use the camera on every home inspection that I do. The benefits of using thermal imaging technology are numerous, but in a nutshell, this is a close as one can come to x-raying a home. The camera sees and records heat. The different temperatures are registered in different colors. With that one can see where cold air is entering a home, wet spots that may indicate mold or roof leaks that may not be otherwise visible. Missing or poorly installed insulation in walls and ceilings can also be seen. Insect infestations in walls can be seen due to the heat a nest may generate. Overheating electrical breakers and circuits can also be seen. This is just some of the applications of this type of camera. Having a thermal imaging scan done on your home can reveal areas that may need improvement and save you the homeowner dollars. We can all use that.

Take your fish oil: High in Omega-3 fatty acids, this will keep your immune system strong.
Take Vitamin D: Not only fantastic immune support, it also helps diminish the winter blues. Remember to breathe and exercise: Keeping stress levels manageable is important to immune system health, as when your body is taxed by stress, your immune system is more susceptible to illness. Get your zzzzz’s: Adequate sleep is important for health as it gives your body the proper replenishment it needs. Aim for 8 hours per night. Wash your hands frequently: Bacteria and viruses are passed easily from (and to) our hands. Get a Natural Flu Shot: This is an injectable combination of homeopathic remedies that are indicated for flu, which give your immune system a natural boost in preparation for encountering winter viruses.

What are some simple ways I can stay healthy over the winter?
Where there is a Will there is a way. You should make a Will when you marry or start a family or the moment you have any protect-able assets, for instance, you own a house or a business. The protection of your children should be a priority. Would you prefer the government appoint a guardian for your minor children? You will also require an Advance Health Care Directive and a Power of Attorney in case something happens to you and you are unable to make decisions yourself. Many people advertise that they do Wills and Estate Planning. For us, it is a specialty. We have given many presentations on it to community groups and have taught this subject at the Bar Admission course all new lawyers must take. At Laarakker Law, Wills and Estate Planning is not just something we do; it is something we specialize in. After all, the legacy you leave behind is more important than what you leave behind.

Did the blood lab move to your building? Yes. The Interior Health Lab that collects blood and urine samples and conducts ECG tests has moved into The Sterling Centre building on 25th Avenue as of Oct 21/2013. The old location in downtown Vernon located in the discovery plaza
has now closed. The opening of the lab has brought several medical services into one location and allows convenience for patients. Remedy’sRx Pharmacy has been open now for a full year and provides a full service pharmacy. This includes vaccination services, medication counseling and free prescription delivery.
