FALL FUN

LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

The North Okanagan is full of fun things to do all year-round, especially in the fall. Ethan Veenendaal (middle), seven, picks out his favourite pumpkin from the pumpkin patch on St. Anne’s Road in Spallumcheen. Meanwhile, just down the road at O’Keefe Ranch, Cameron Acob, 10, runs through the corn maze while Ella Molnar-Piché, two, waits for her mom as they explore the maze, which is open today, Saturday and next Sunday.

VJH prepping in the event Ebola shows up RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Vernon Jubilee Hospital staff are preparing for a potential case of Ebola. The Interior Health Authority says there was staff training Friday to respond to the infectious disease, and that process will continue. “We’re making sure the appropriate protective equipment is available where nurses need them,” said Dr. Andrew Larder, senior medical health officer. “We’ve begun education and training Andrew Larder for taking off the protective equipment.” The World Health Organization reports that the number of Ebola cases in the African countries of Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia is about 9,000. An

individual who had been in West Africa has also died from the disease in Texas and two nurses there became ill. “People within IH have been following the outbreak since it occurred in West Africa and the level of response has changed since time has gone on,” said Larder, adding the risk in North America has grown since health care workers helping in Africa have returned. “The transmission to nursing staff in Texas and Spain has focused attention on staff on the frontline being ready to deal with this. IHA has established a working group to review procedures in case an individual with Ebola-like symptoms arrives at a hospital. “How do we make sure people are protected? Where do we put them in the hospital? How do we transport them and how do we get lab specimens?” said Larder. A website has also been established so IHA staff can

access up-to-date information. While there is a lot of media and public focus on Ebola, Larder says many of the procedures and equipment are already being used within IHA. “There are other infectious diseases transmitted in the same way as Ebola,” he said, adding that beyond hospitals, steps must be taken at doctors’ offices. “We learned from SARS that doctors need to ask people, ‘Do you have a fever, have you been travelling?’” The B.C. Nurses Union has expressed concerns about IHA’s policies regarding Ebola, but Larder is confident the appropriate steps are being taken. “We are responding to the concerns being raised and we’re taking the steps necessary to reassure people,” he said. “The chance of it happening (here) are low but it could happen. People in the Okanagan are going to those countries and doing relief work.”

Homeless memorial provides hope richard rolke Morning Star Staff

They’re often sitting on a park bench or hanging around a corner as we walk by. We avoid eye contact so we don’t have to acknowledge their presence. That scenario isn’t uncommon as Vernonites come in contact with the community’s homeless. But a new memorial in Polson Park is challenging stereotypes and encouraging residents to look out for their neighbour. “We need to raise our voices and use our lives to make a difference,” said Chuck Harper, community chaplain with First Baptist Church, who led the campaign for the homeless memorial which was officially unveiled in Polson Park, next to Highway 97, Friday. “We need to look to the future with a sense of hope and purpose.” The memorial pays tribute to those who have died from homelessness-related issues, such as substance abuse and mental illness. There were 14 in Vernon last year. “That’s unacceptable, that’s wrong,” said Harper, who was poised to act after a friend died. “Ron was the straw that broke the camel’s back. When Ron passed, I needed to do something.” Taking the lead from other communities across North America, Harper decided that a permanent memorial was needed for those living on the street. “They need a place to remember their friends and family,” he said. “This provides a place of dignity and respect.” But beyond serving as a link to those who

Chuck Harper, a community chaplain, places a flower in memory of a friend at the homeless memorial unveiled at Polson Park Friday. have died, Harper wants the memorial to act as a catalyst to challenge the status quo in society. “We’re not alone in the issues of homelessness, addiction and mental illness and the complications that impact our loved ones,” he said. Annette Sharkey, with the Social Planning Council, wants to see the stigma around homelessness broken.

“We’ve lost precious lives and people important to our community,” she said, adding that there needs to be a strategy at all levels of government and in communities to ensure affordable housing is available, as are health care services and access to counselling. “We need people to come forward, to be innovative and to take a chance to solve the issue.”

Options considered for ice sheet richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Options are being investigated to get a new arena back on ice. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee has directed staff from Vernon, Coldstream and the regional district to put together options for an expansion to Kal Tire Place to replace Civic Arena. “It’s been a collaborative process and we want that to continue,” said Juliette Cunningham, GVAC chairperson, of the jurisdictions all being part of the process. The Regional District of North

Okanagan recently scrapped plans for a November referendum to expand Kal Tire Place because Victoria was concerned about RDNO borrowing funds for a facility owned by the city. Among the options that will be considered by administration are Vernon holding a borrowing referendum on its own and then getting grants from the other jurisdictions for debt servicing, co-ownership of the facility or the regional district owning the new ice sheet and leasing it back to the city. RDNO is also considering appealing

the government’s decision not to approve a borrowing referendum because it doesn’t own Kal Tire Place. There are concerns the 77-year-old Civic Arena could fail and be unavailable for use before a replacement facility is constructed. “We want to expedite this process as quickly as possible,” said Cunningham, adding that the earliest a borrowing referendum could be held is spring 2015. Vernon city council recently approved $75,000 in major maintenance work to keep Civic running.

In recent years, a number of agencies have co-operated with the City of Vernon to tackle homelessness. “We need to remember the people we lost and why we are working towards a solution,” said Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe, representing the city. “There is always work to do and there will always be someone who is in need of a hand up.”

Stage on wish list richard rolke

“Areas D and E would also benefit.”

Morning Star Staff

Planning is underway for another year of recreation and park services in Lumby and Cherryville. The White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee had preliminary 2015 budget discussions Tuesday. “We are putting together a wish list for capital items,” said Rick Fairbairn, WVPRCAC chairperson and rural Lumby director. Because the budget doesn’t have to be approved until the

— Ostafichuk

spring, it hasn’t been determined if a tax increase will be needed. “It’s way too premature for that but there is the feeling that we will toe the line in terms of expenses,” said Fairbairn. One project the WVPRCAC continues to investigate is a community stage in Oval Park.

“We want to get community input on use and design. An architect will then come up with a cost,” said Fairbairn. A request for proposals for the stage will be issued. “We will see who is interested in being involved,” said Randal Ostafichuk, Lumby director. “We want to make sure the stage will be functional in the community.” The Wild Salmon Society has been raising funds towards a stage, but until a firm figure is known, no decision has been made on whether the project will proceed. It’s believed a stage may help promote community events and tourism-related activities. “Areas D (rural Lumby) and E (Cherryville) would also benefit from the stage,” said Ostafichuk.

Rib Eye Steaks

Stolen painting uncovered roger knox Morning Star Staff

Joshua Wallace’s missing painting never went very far. Wallace’s piece, Eye For An Eye, which went missing from the Vernon parkade after he created the piece on the spot during the sixth annual Riot On The Roof Aug. 23, was found Thursday. Wallace got a call after lunch saying his painting had been located just up the street from the parkade in the abandoned building that formerly housed the Royal Canadian Legion. “I’m really excited it’s back,” said Wallace. “It’s awesome. I thought it was probably just a piece of scrap now.” Wallace, 19, was participating in Riot On The Roof for the first time. He had been situated on the bottom level of the parkade when he began work on his painting on a four-foot-by-eight-foot plywood canvas. The painting features famed peace activist Mahatma Ghandi in the middle, framed by two of Wallace’s friends on either side. The last time Wallace saw Eye For An Eye, he said, was at the parkade a couple of days after the event. He was told the painting was missing on Oct. 3. It was City of Vernon bylaw officers, working

with Vernon RCMP on another matter inside the building, who found Wallace’s painting Thursday. “It was in pretty good shape,” said bylaw services manager Clint Kanester. “It had just a couple of small nail holes in it. We walked it up and over the street to the (Vernon Public) art gallery.” Art gallery executive director Dauna Kennedy Grant, like Wallace, was ecstatic to have the painting returned. “We have it, and we’re going to hang it outside which was the intention all along,” said Kennedy Grant of Wallace’s art which will join others posted on the side of the parkade, home to the art gallery. Said Wallace: “I’m stoked it will be put on the side of the building.”

Tourism tax supported richard rolke Morning Star Staff

North Okanagan communities back Vernon’s hotel tax for tourism marketing, but they aren’t being asked to participate in the program. The Regional District of North Okanagan is providing a letter of support to the city so it can apply to the provincial government for its hotel tax to be renewed. But the city is not looking to expand the tax beyond its border to other jurisdictions in the area. “There may be an opportunity at a future date but not right now,” said Kevin Poole, the city’s economic development officer, specifically of Silver Star. However, Poole told RDNO directors the city’s tourism marketing program has a broad scope. “Accommodators at Silver Star do not collect

“The attractions in your area benefit.” the tax. Any other accommodators in Lumby, Enderby and Armstrong do not collect but the attractions in your area benefit,” he said. A two per cent tax is charged on each room booked in Vernon’s hotels and motels and yearto-date until July, the levy has raised $305,167 for tourism marketing, The city’s primary marketing focus is visitors from Alberta and B.C.

Authorities are investigating what is believed to be a suspicious fire. Firefighters were called to a three-storey building under construction in the 2700 block of 41st Avenue Thursday at about 9:48 p.m. “Our crew caught it early,” said Lawrie Skolrood, Vernon deputy fire chief. “It could have been a lot worse.” The building was in the Skolrood framing stage of construction, and a man and woman were inside at the time of the fire. In fact, the woman had to jump from an upper story to escape the fire and sustained nonlife threatening injuries. “The information we have is these people shouldn’t have been there,” said Cpl. Todd Bowden, with the RCMP. “We’re not sure what they were doing there

and what their role was there.” Forensic identification officers and the police services dog were on scene but a fire suspect was not identified. “We are seeking public assistance,” said Bowden, adding that it’s unknown if this blaze is related to a rash of suspicious fires earlier this year in Vernon.

Knee Arthritis and Knee Injuries Successfully Treated by Shockwave Therapy

hether you are an athlete, in your golden years of retirement, or the typical person on your feet all day at work, you know there’s nothing more debilitating than a knee injury. Knee injuries have many faces and causes and these three groups of people are susceptible to the same injuries but from different causes. Tendon injuries are the most common: Iliotibial band syndrome (pain on the outside of the knee); Patellar tendonitis (pain below the knee); and hamstring injuries (leading to pain in the back of the knee). As well, arthritis plagues many and often results in knee replacement surgery. And unfortunately, many knee surgery patients (due to ligament or cartilage tears) frequent our office.

Each of these injuries comes with its own set of obstacles when treating with conventional methods: tendonitis can create fibrous adhesions and scar tissue that disrupts the normal function of the muscle; arthritis erodes the cartilage, decreasing the joint space; and surgery, although often necessary, creates scar tissue on the surrounding muscle and

tendon, binding the knee and often creating soft tissue pain. For the past five years I have been using Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) to treat these conditions, because shockwave therapy breaks down scar tissue and stimulates blood vessel growth to restore muscle function and promote healing. The Journal of Surgical Research 2012 showed ESWT is effective in preventing knee arthritis. In The American Journal Of Sports Medicine 2007, 90% showed significant improvement in patellar tendonitis. Furthermore, The Archives of Orthopedic Trauma Surgery 2007 showed significant reduction in the progression of knee arthritis (ESWT stimulates cells to produce cartilage). Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

Leaf me alone

e have been stuck behind Mr. and Mrs. Leaf Peeper for 45 minutes. Sue and I are on our way home from the grocery store; they are on vacation. It’s nice to be on vacation, to not have a worry in the world, to take the time to smell the roses, to wander wherever the wind blows you, to be awed by the wonder of nature, to drink in the majestic beauty of this country, to slow down and admire every new vista in brilliant, flaming colours. But do you have to do it in front of us? “Let’s ram them,” Sue said. I’m not sure she knew Jim Mullen she was thinking aloud, but she had read my mind. Dumb, stupid nature. Dumb, stupid beauty. We’ve got things to do. It must be swell to have the time to look at dead leaves, but we’ve got gutters to clean, bulbs to plant, patio furniture to stow away for the winter, storm windows to install. Most of all, I’ve got a lawn full of beautiful leaves to rake. Not so beautiful when they’re knee-deep on your front lawn, are they? They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I guess I’ll be holding about 20 beautiful giant leaf bags before the day is through. If I ever get home. The leaf lovers ahead of us are now stuck behind other leaf lovers who are even slower than they are. Where do these drivers who have never seen leaves before come from? If they live within driving distance of us, they must certainly have leaves of their very own. Oh, but they want to see them at their peak. Nothing but the best for them. Two days before peak, why even get out of bed?

VillAgE idiot

Two days after peak? What kind of chump would want to look at leaves two days after they peak? It would be like going to a museum and finding all the Rembrandts were out being cleaned. The rest of the paintings are just a bunch of Van Goghs and Picassos. Why even bother to leave the house for that? Or maybe our leaves are different from their leaves. Our leaves turn red and yellow; maybe theirs turn pink with purple polka dots. Hard to believe they’re just dead leaves. If you look at them close-up, they’re dirty, spotted, misshapen, full of bugs. They’re not very pretty at all. Is yellow a better colour than green? Is rusty brown a better colour than green? I think green can hold its own with all the other colours. I don’t think we have to get all dramatic about a bunch of leaves losing all their chlorophyll. Whoa, what’s this? The leaf-huggers have their right blinker on. Finally! Praise the Lord! There’s a pull-off for the overlook up ahead. Yes, get off the road and take your leaf-peeping friends with you! As we follow them with our eyes, making sure this isn’t some leaf-peeping trick -- that suddenly they’ll change their minds and swerve back in front of us at 20 miles per hour — we get a view of the hills and valleys below us. It was as if a bright red and gold rainbow had fallen to the ground so we could see what it looked like close-up. We slowed down and followed the leaf-peepers into the overlook. It turned out the “tourists” were from the next town. They didn’t know why, but they’d decided to take the day off and drive around. We decided to take the rest of the day off, too. The storm windows could wait; who wants to clean gutters on a day like this anyway? I may not rake the leaves at all this year. Contact Jim Mullen at JimMullenBooks.com.

There are going to be some residents who question why the Interior Health Authority is putting resources into Ebola response. How can the disease that’s infecting and killing thousands in western Africa show up in the Okanagan? However, consider that there have been confirmed cases in Texas while there have been several individuals across Canada tested for Ebola-like symptoms. We live in a world that is increasingly small, with local residents travelling well beyond our valley for employment, recreation and humanitarian efforts. As an example, the North OkanaganShuswap School District recently agreed to students going to China because the original destination was Ghana, which has been impacted by Ebola. It’s entirely reasonable to think that someone from here may be in western Africa or another destination, such as Texas, where Ebola is present. As a result, IHA has to be prepared for someone with Ebolalike symptoms to walk into a hospital, including in Vernon. What will the initial response be from medical personnel? Where will the patient be quarantined from everyone else? What resources will be needed in an Interior community to ensure the patient is treated properly and sufficient steps are taken to prevent the possible spread if Ebola is diagnosed? The B.C. Nurses Union has raised alarm bells about the health authority’s ability to handle a case of Ebola, and as health care professionals, nurses provide a wealth of expertise. But everyone at the table — doctors, nurses, technicians, etc. — need to work cooperatively instead of fingerpointing or pursuing individual mandates. Obviously we hope Ebola does not arrive in the North Okanagan, but if it does, all of us, residents and medical personnel, need to ensure we are prepared.

Safety is everyone's priority

n response to “D is for downloading” by Richard Rolke, while I appreciate your concern for the safety of children, I feel to simply write your MLA about district budget cuts, although a worthy endeavour, is not addressing the entire picture. The cancelling of school busing has highlighted an enduring issue. The 2.4-kilometre area surrounding elementary schools has inadequate pedestrian paths. In the case of the south Aberdeen Road community, a mere one kilometre away from Coldstream Elementary, there is no sidewalk. It takes 15 minutes to walk to school if you dare. Maybe, if the school district had not paid to bus children to school for as a long as I can remember, municipalities would not have gotten so lax in protecting our smallest pedestrians. Imagine if the amount of money school districts spent on busing kids from a radius of 2.4 kilometres around schools in the last

system is broken In Canada, we have a number of individual human rights which are spelled out in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Each province and territory in Canada administers its own education system. It is the responsibility of each parent to ensure that their children are adequately educated. The province of B.C. obliges taxpayers to fund our education system through taxation. It thereby assumes the obligation to use those funds to educate our children in the most effective and efficient way possible. To do this, the province uses these tax dollars to provide plants (schools) and equipment, and then hires teachers, administrators and boards to operate the educational system. Teachers must qualify to teach their respective grade levels in our schools consistent with an appropriate outline curriculum. Unions have formed to replace professional teacher organizations to negotiate wages and protect teachers’ working conditions. Unfortunately, their primary interest seems to be to increase the number of teachers, their wages, and thus the total value of union dues collected, and

40-plus years was dedicated to pedestrian safety on roads? School children would not be the only demographic who would benefit. I don’t think it is a case of downloading, more like the school board has haphazardly said, "Tag, municipalities, you’re it." We have gone from children walking a

not the quality of instruction provided by each teacher in the opinion of many. At this time, it appears obvious that the inherent right of each student in our school system is being violated by the current policy of including students of all learning capabilities in the same classroom, whether or not there are learning assistants to help the over-stressed teachers. To mix the brightest of our youth, who possess extraordinary learning capabilities, with students of more modest abilities, and with students who have serious behavioral problems, or with foreign students who have little or no capability with the English language (ESL), is violating the basic human rights of each of these types of students. If the above is true, then it must be clear that the obligation of the province to provide adequate educational opportunities to these students is being violated and must be improved at the earliest possible time. While it is nice for slow learners to be privileged to mixed with the more capable, it is not a right and so less destructive ways of achieving interaction must be devised.

short distance, to children busing a short distance, to parents driving their kids a short distance. This is not progress. In the day and age when our governments push catch phrases like environmental responsibility and healthy communities, you would think safe pedestrian pathways,

Many bright students become behavioral problems if not adequately challenged in the learning process. Those students with slower learning aptitudes must be taught with different techniques which optimize their abilities, while ESL students obviously need to be more intensively taught English along with their other subjects to justifiably benefit more optimally. This approach sounds more like an education system to me than the crazed maze we are now experiencing, and the turmoil with which most of our dedicated teachers are wrestling. Yes, the education system is broken, and so, let's fix it by concentrating our efforts. As distasteful as some may find the concept, to achieve optimal educational opportunities for all of our students while protecting their fundamental human rights regarding educational exposure, we must implement some effective form of streaming based on ability and capability to learn. C. Wills pay hikes I am getting tired of this council voting themselves increases

especially around elementary schools, would be a major priority. As for Aberdeen Road, as you know, it has needed a safety overhaul for years. I am sure all who were present at our meetings with council can attest, we have not been demanding safety with pounding fists or snarls. However, we are passionate and determined because the most vulnerable residents of our community are at risk. When user-pay school busing takes effect and the financial burden is shifted to parents, as I think it will, we will still be passionately asking for municipalities to step up. It is common sense that the children who live within walking distance from schools are provided a safe place to walk. The safety of our children needs to be everyone’s priority and all levels of government need to be reminded of its responsibility. Cheryl Dowler

— those of you that think paying yourselves more money will encourage younger people to run. Yes it will, but they will be looking at this as a job because of the money involved. They will not have the experience required to run a city — budgeting, spending properly and logic. It is also going to make the council jobs open to lobbying and specialty groups to run candidates as they will now be making good money and pushing for their favourite charities and not what is good for the city. The council should get paid a nominal wage. This is to keep the council honest and sincere. If they are putting in too much time, then cut down the number or frequency of the meetings, or both. People should run and look at the job as councillor as way to ensure that our children will have a good place to grow up and live in and not as a job that they are getting paid for. If the councillors that we now have want to get more money, then now is the time to send them packing and the same goes for all of the new ones running. It should be brought up at every

meeting and interview their position on payment. If they want lots, then we just do not vote them in. Garry haas

Two incumbents are looking to keep their seats on Coldstream council, while a familiar face wants to return. Councillors Richard Enns and Peter McClean are seeking re-election Nov. 15, as is Glen Taylor, who served two terms on council from 1999 to 2005. “As councillor, I would be committed to investing wisely in the essentials; good roads, public transit, affordable housGlen Taylor ing, parks, recreation, trail networks and arts, culture and heritage,” said Taylor, a resident of Coldstream for 31 years who is “committed to creating a future full of hope and promise. “ The 54-year-old father of two and grandfather, has been married to his wife Diane for 33 years. “We live in the greatest place on earth and it’s critical to preserve what makes Coldstream a healthy community to live - clean water and air, places to play and be active, while protecting our natural surroundings,” said Taylor, who is the general manager at O’Keefe Ranch. McClean, who was previously a councillor alongside Taylor, was returned to office in 2011 and hopes to continue his work on unfinished businesses. “I would like to continue Peter McClean being involved with the development of the latest version of the Coldstream OCP so that when it is completed it will provide a direction for our community and council to follow so that Coldstream will continue to be a healthy and sustainable partner within the North

Enns is seeking his third consecutive term on council and would also like to continue to the progress made so far. “There are still some very good initiatives that the previous council has undertaken,” said Enns, a 53-year-old husband and father of three. “I’d like to see the parks master plan developed and I’d like to continue to see improveRichard Enns ments to Coldstream Creek.” Enns has lived in Coldstream for 22 years, where he owns an organic orchard but works at his law practice.

Mayor Jim Garlick has been acclaimed, therefore residents will only be voting on filling the councillor positions on Nov. 15. Coun.

Light A Bulb to Support Tower of Care Every year, community members eagerly anticipate the lighting of the tree atop the hospital to mark VJH Foundation’s annual Light A Bulb campaign. Since 1988, Light A Bulb has raised $3.75 million to purchase life-saving equipment for Vernon Jubilee Hospital. There are a number of selected areas and rooms available for naming or sponsorship including Patient Rooms, Multidisciplinary room, Quiet Room, Tub Room and Nourishment Centres. Major Donors to the Tower of Care Campaign receiving a naming opportunity include: Armstrong Spallumcheen Healthcare Auxiliary Don & Ulrike Gibbs Irma Feke • Neil & Gillian Woolliams Kal Tire Kineshanko Logging Nixon Wenger Legal Services Partnership RBC Foundation Silver Star Mountain Resort Subway Restaurants Tim Hortons Restaurants

This year’s launch will take place Wednesday, November 5th at the Jubilee Building entrance of VJH, with KISS FM broadcasting on location. Campaign Co-chairs Dr. Chris Cunningham and Richard Finn will announce the goal for the 27th annual campaign. The 2014 Light A Bulb donations will be designated to the Tower of Care Campaign Phase II to equip and furnish the 6th and 7th inpatient floors at VJH. The $29.6 million project to convert two shelled-in floors into acute care wards will include a total of sixty beds on these two floors that will not only improve capacity but also increase patient comfort, privacy and safety.

Since launching the $2.5 million Tower of Care initiative last November, the Campaign has surpassed the halfway mark, with donations and pledges totaling $1,598,871. Light A Bulb funds will be a vital part in realizing the success of Tower of Care Campaign Phase II. One of the first major donors to Tower of Care was the Armstrong Spallumcheen Healthcare Auxiliary, contributing $50,000 from sales at the Bargain Bin, the Auxiliary-owned thrift store located in Armstrong.

Digital Mammography Campaign Meets its Goal A 10-year-old girl stays awake until the early hours, busily turning out dozens of bracelets and accessories on her crafting loom. She encourages her classmates to help and creates a school fundraiser to fight cancer. Through a torrent of rain, clapping thunder and dark skies illuminated by lightning, teams of dragon boaters race in unison and unity in the warm waters of Kalamalka Lake, raising funds to battle breast cancer. A procession of pink hits the green as costumed female foursomes converge each fall at Predator Ridge to raise a magnitude of funds for women’s health care. From the mysteries of the East, to an Okanagan beach, from onstage to behind the scenes, caring community members took part in golf tournaments, concerts, special events and personal giving to bring new digital mammography technology to VJH. The ‘Take A Picture Campaign’ to raise $428,400 towards a digital mammography unit was launched

in the spring of 2013. Community members responded by giving their time, talents and monetary gifts to make the campaign a success. The much-needed digital machine will replace the old mammography unit which annually performs nearly 7,000 screenings and 3,500 diagnostic examinations on residents in the North Okanagan, Revelstoke, Shuswap, Lake Country and Nakusp. Mammography is the final area within the VJH Imaging Department to transition to digital technology. With the new equipment, technicians can immediately view the image and reshoot if necessary for the best result. Renovations to the department will begin late this year, with equipment installation and staff training to take place in early 2015.

Wine, Women & Woods Tee-Off For the Cure in partnership with Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation BC/Yukon raised more than $104,000 this September.

Thanks to the caring community businesses, organizations and individuals for helping to bring digital mammography to VJH by 2015!

Many individuals, organizations and events were involved in helping raise funds for this project. Due to space and conditions of anonymity, we are acknowledging the following groups and events for their commitment to digital mammography at VJH: Alpha Epsilon Master Beta Sigma Phi Coldstream Women’s Institute Jane Richardson’s Swim Across the Lake Wine Women and Woods Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation BC/ Yukon Vernon Bosom Buddies Ladies of the Okanagan Charity Golf Tournament at The Rise The Longhorn Pub – Rock for Care Vernon Rowing and Paddling Association’s 4th Annual Prospera Vernon Dragon Boat Festival Silver Star Elementary School Rainbow Loom Craft Sale by Ashley & Lina Tapestry Women’s Choir - Calendar Girls Pin Up Calendar VantageOne Bollywood Bang Vernon Women’s Wednesday Afternoon Bridge Club

Coldstream Women’s Institute Leaves a Lasting Legacy With a longstanding history of community service, the Coldstream Women’s Institute (CWI) is leaving a legacy that will highlight and preserve its remarkable presence in the North Okanagan. It all began in 1931, when a group of local women established a branch of Women’s Institute in Coldstream, to provide rural women and families with home management and leadership skills, develop friendships, encourage community cohesion, and initiate charitable activities.

women are not volunteering in the same way as previous generations. Unable to continue with the upkeep of the community hall, CWI sold the building to the District of Coldstream in early 2014. Several local charities have benefitted from the legacy of the hall, including the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation, which received $50,000 from the sale of the building. The funds are designated to the Foundation’s “Take a Picture” campaign to purchase a Digital Mammography unit for VJH, serving women in the North Okanagan, Revelstoke, Salmon Arm, Shuswap, Nakusp and Lake Country.

Two years later, CWI built its community hall on Kalamalka Road. For more than 80 years, it was a gathering place for the community, filled with celebrations of weddings, baby It’s likely the building will be showers, bazaars, educational demolished, but the friendships and recreational activities for and memories forged within Girl Guides and Boy Scouts, the walls will remain, and the Christmas parties and community dedication of CWI members will CWI members Shirley Libby (left) and Diane Toth (right) share memories of their group’s history. teas.

Working Together to Make a Difference Having extensive careers that took them far and wide, Cliff Oughtred and his wife Margot France chose Vernon as their retirement home, settling in at Predator Ridge.

Often people choose a charity to donate to because of personal experiences that they have had with a specific organization. This is the case with Margot and Cliff. Their involvement first as volunteers has resulted in their desire to support the cause with generous donations. “What you do with your life will reflect what people will remember about you,” says Cliff. In speaking of his life lessons, Cliff remembered Joe Gardener, a colleague at Douglas Lake Ranch, who had a big influence on his career. “There are no obstacles only opportunities.” While Cliff continues to make the VJH Foundation Charity Classic a mustattend event locally, both he and Margot remain committed to working with the Foundation to enhance health care in the North Okanagan. “It warms our hearts to be involved,” says Margot.

Cliff Oughtred and Margot France at the 2014 VJHF Charity Classic Golf Tournament

With time to volunteer and a desire to take on new challenges, both Margot and Cliff decided to become involved in charitable organizational work. In 2009, Margot eagerly accepted an invitation to help organize the 1st Annual Charity Classic Golf Tournament at Predator Ridge to benefit the Building a Tower of Care Campaign, Phase I. Her expertise in marketing, tourism and sports was an important addition in contributing to the success of the event. “I totally believed in the vision for the event and what it could become; and of course that the hospital would benefit from our efforts,” she says. When Margot met the team, she was inspired by their passion to improve Vernon Jubilee Hospital. She found the work rewarding and was overwhelmed by the support that was received from the community. “Positive people make everything fun and help make dreams come true.” When a new chair was needed for the Charity Classic in 2010, Cliff dedicated himself to chairing the tournament, and has continued as chair for the past three years. A retired Vernon Ski Club and Provincial Coaches Representative and former construction company owner, Cliff was eager to devote his time to working for charitable causes. He sees his leadership as nurturing support from donors, sponsors, participants and volunteers. “It’s not the work of any one person, but everyone together that makes it all work.” Driven by their passions to give back to the community, Cliff and Margot learned more about how worthy a cause the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation is. “We have been blessed to work with a team of people who fulfilled their passions by working hard to finish a project,” Cliff says. They witnessed firsthand how monies raised can be efficiently directed to support community needs and how important additional financial support is to Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “I have been very fortunate that I haven’t had to use the Hospital, but I know it is an eventuality. I want to help ensure the best care is there for our community,” says Cliff. Proof of this is evident in the $755,000 net that the Charity Classic has raised to support the first Tower of Care Campaign, the expansion and renovation of the McMurtry-Baerg Cancer Centre at the Hospital and now Phase II of the Tower project to complete the 6th and 7th floors of Polson Tower.

Hannoun headlines Vees’ attack GRAEME CORBETT

Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Vipers are well aware of the magic tricks Demico Hannoun can work with a puck. If they needed a reminder, they got one Friday night at Kal Tire Place as their former teammate torched them for a pair of goals to lead the Penticton Vees to a 3-1 win before 2,000 B.C. Hockey League fans. “Cheeks (Hannoun’s nickname), he’s a good guy, he’s a friend of mine, but you never want to see that,” said Vipers’ captain Riley Guenther, smiling as he shook his head. The Vipers, now 5-4-0-1, must have wondered what they did to cross the hockey gods as they outplayed the leagueleading Vees (9-1) for 19 of the first 20 minutes, hemming them in their own end and generating some decent scoring chances. However, it was Penticton who got on the board first with 36 seconds to play in period one, on a greasy road goal by Hannoun. Vernon netminder Jarrod Schamerhorn went behind his net to play the puck and, on a miscommunication with his d-man, shoveled it straight to Penticton forward Steen Cooper, who relayed it out front to a wide open Hannoun. “We came out a little sluggish,” said the 19-year-old Hannoun. “You could tell in the dressing room we weren’t really prepared but we just got better as the game went on. “It’s a little different being on the other (players’ bench), but it was a good crowd here, good atmosphere and it was a good game. “We’re off to a great start, and we’ve got a lot of chemistry with all the lines right now.” Hannoun, a soft-handed North Delta product, leads Penticton with eight snipes, and is headed to the NCAA Michigan Tech Huskies next fall. Following last season, he was sent back to the Surrey Eagles from Vernon as future considerations for the deal that brought Brett Mulcahy to the Snake Pit at the trade deadline. Penticton picked him up in the offseason in exchange for d-man Alexandre Coulombe and future considerations. Vees’ head coach Fred Harbinson had a sense his team was a little off in its morning skate. "We were a little quiet and it carried over into the game,” he said. “Fortunately for us, our goaltender made the saves that he had to, and we were fortunate to score late in the period." Vees’ keeper Hunter Miska (33 saves), named third star behind Hannoun and Vernon’s Thomas Aldworth, was sharp throughout, particularly in flashing his pads to deny a number of Vernon shots destined for the low corners. Aside from the gaffe behind his net, Schamerhorn was impressive in the Vernon crease for the third straight game. He thwarted Vees’ forward Lewis Zerter-Gossage a number of times from point-blank range. Danny Todosychuk, who has been nursing a sore groin, was expected to start Saturday night as Vernon visited the 5-4-0-1 West Kelowna Warriors at Royal LePage Place. The Snakes struggled to gain any momentum in the

The Vees grounded the Vipers 3-1 in front of 2,000 fans. second period as they spent most of it in the penalty box. Fortunately for them, the Vees’ powerplay has been uncharacteristically disorganized this season. Vernon looked more dangerous shorthanded than the Vees did with the man advantage, generating a rare 3-on-1 rush that was botched when Liam Coughlin fanned on a cross-ice pass. Shortly after, Aldworth earned a penalty shot when he was hauled down on a shorthanded breakaway, but the strong-skating Texan had the puck roll on his stick as he went in on Miska, and he misfired over the net. “It’s (powerplay) never been a problem for us, but tonight some of Vernon’s best chances were when we were on the powerplay,” said Harbinson. “It really could have turned the game. “I said at the beginning of the year that you need patience with this team, and everybody assumes you’re talking about wins and losses. We’re lucky to be 9-1, and there’s parts of the game where we’re going to have to keep working with them.” The Vees finally made good on their fourth powerplay attempt as Hannoun snapped a point shot through a crowd, beating a helpless Schamerhorn, post-and-in.

“The first goal, it was just a miscommunication behind the net,” said Guenther. “The second one, we needed a block there. “I thought we played well, we just couldn’t find a way to get any more past Miska. It just comes down to us bearing down on those chances. We’ve got to score when we get those opportunities.” Aldworth, with his team-leading sixth goal, pulled Vernon within one with 3:46 to play when he swatted home a Coughlin rebound before Miska could reposition himself. Vernon pulled Schamerhorn for an extra attacker, but couldn’t bury the equalizer. Instead, Matt Serratore (4th goal) put the game away with a last-second empty netter. Said Vernon head coach Mark Ferner: “We generated enough chances, but we’ve got to bear down. I’m not sure if it’s a confidence thing, squeezing the stick a little bit, but we’ve got to find some secondary scoring here. We can’t just rely on the one line.” SNAKE BITES: Aldworth has earned game stars in three consecutive outings...The Trail Smoke Eaters, featuring exVipers Craig Martin and Dallas Calvin, boast the league’s top powerplay at 30.56 per cent. Penticton’s (15.38) is fourth-last and Vernon’s is dead-last at a meager 2.22 per cent.

The Kamloops Storm got all the offence they needed in the first period as they upended the North Okanagan Knights 3-1 at Nor-Val Sports Centre Friday night. The Storm, who lead the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Doug Birks Division at 9-40-1, got singles by Cole Merrick, Tylor Seabrooke and Addison Bazian. North Okanagan, last in the Okanagan loop at 2-7-0-2, replied with a snipe from Vernon product Logan Geefs, who leads the team with 3-4-7 in 11 games. The Storm outshot the Knights 36-19, and held the hosts to just two shots in the third period. Jason Sandhu made 18 saves for his sixth win, while Mitch Profeit recorded 33 stops in the loss. North Okanagan visited the Priceton Posse (6-3-1-2) Saturday. The Posse are on a four-game win streak, including a 3-0 shutout of the Knights earlier in the week. Jim Armstrong’s crew heads to the Kootenays for a three-game swing starting Friday against the Creston Valley Thunder Cats (4-5-0-1).

Vest shines in Florida Morning Star Staff

Hot temperatures brought out the best in Vernon’s Ryan Vest in the U.S. Kids Golf Invitational Tournament last week in St. Lucie, Fla. Vest, competing in the Eight and Under class, carded a 2-over 39-35-74 to share third place with Jose Raul Carrillo of San Pedro, Mexico at the PGA Golf Club’s Ryder Course. Sihan Sandhu of Ashburn, Virg. won by shooting 37/2966, while Asher Joseph of Melbourne, Fla. was runner-up at 36-36-72. Vest, who is in Grade 3 in the Montessori program at Silver Star Elementary, earned Green Priority Status by placing third. Players receiving Green Status have the highest priority for all U.S. Kids Golf tournaments, good for one year. He receives an automatic invitation back to the 2015 U.S. Kids Golf World Championship Tournament held in Pinehurst, N.C., and the 2015 European Championship in East Lothian, Scotland. This was Vest’s third U.S. Kids Golf tournament. He finished in a six-way tie for 72nd place at the World Championship in Pinehurst in August, a tourney hampered by heavy rains and wind. There were players in his age catetory at the Ryder Course, named in honour of Samuel Ryder, the namesake and founder of the Ryder Cup, the pre-eminent event in golf. With its rolling hills, majestic pine trees and challenging water hazards, the Ryder Course has a distinctive Carolina-feel. Vest’s 35 on Sunday was the second best of the day playing the back nine. He was even par heading to the par-4 18th hole. “I really wanted to make birdie and finish the round and the

I hit my putt a little too hard but it was right on-line. The ball hit the back of the cup, popped up and then dropped down for a birdie. I knew that it was a long shot but I so wanted that birdie so I just hit it hard and went for it.” Said his dad and caddy, Jeff Vest: “What a moment. It was so exciting to see and hear the crowd’s cheering and Ryan responding quite fittingly by way

of a full fist pump action in celebration. It was another great experience among his peers on such a beautiful golf course.” Ryan’s mom Laurie, making sure he was eating nutrionally and drinking lots of water, added: “We love and support Ryan 100 per cent and our family is so proud of Ryan and his hard work and accomplishments thus far and we are so looking forward to his 2015 golf season. Thanks to Vernon for all their generous support.”

Midget Vipers draw Kamloops Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Home Building Centre Midget Vipers salvaged a 2-2 draw with the host Kamloops Blazers in Midget Tier 1 hockey play Friday night. The home team came out flying, popping in the game’s first goal at the 30-second mark. After a scoreless second period, the Vipers finally got the equalizer in the third frame on a 5-on-3 powerplay. Stephane Richard tipped in a Nick Higgs shot from the point.

Kamloops regained their one-goal lead about four minutes later, but the Vernon boys kept pushing, and with 52 seconds left in regulation, Carl Main recorded the tying goal, assisted by Reed Cashato and Braden Gilowski. Netminder Tristan Quiring was stellar in making 38 saves for the Vipers. The Snakes entertained a California travel team in exhibition action Saturday morning at Civic Arena.

Royals collect North Zone crown Morning Star Staff

It was a golden afternoon Tuesday for the Vernon Christian Royals senior boys soccer team. After defeating King’s Christian of Salmon Arm 8-1 the previous week, the Royals only needed a draw to collect the North Okanagan Zone senior A boys championship.

The rematch Tuesday ended up being a much closer battle, with the teams playing to a 3-3 draw. Striker Sam Frisby supplied a pair of goals for the Royals, while Mika deVin added a single. The Royals, coached by Branden Hoogendoorn, advance to the Okanagan Valley Championships, Oct. 23-24, in Kelowna.

VSS Panthers’ running back Levi Nicholas (top) hangs on to the ball as he steamrolls Salmon Arm Golds’ defensive back Dillon Olson in Okanagan varsity football play Friday afternoon at Grahame Park.

Panthers push past Golds Morning Star Staff

Despite a sluggish first half, the Vernon Panthers brushed back the Salmon Arm Golds 37-12 in Okanagan AA Varsity Football Conference play Friday afternoon at Grahame Park. After scoring on the opening drive, the Panthers were forced to punt on their following two drives, which was unusual territory for them in league play. “I thought we took a step backwards as a team this week and didn’t perform well on either side of the ball,” said VSS head coach Sean Smith. “Our secondary was soft in coverage and we couldn’t get any rhythm going on offence. As a coaching staff, we have to review the film and see what we can do to improve next week.” Karson Patommel and Levi Nicholas were bright spots for the Panthers on offence. Patommel led all rushers with 162 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries. He also hauled in two receptions for 38

yards, one of them for a TD. Nicholas provided a spark at key moments and compiled 93 rushing yards and added 70 yards on four catches. The Panthers led 17-6 at the break, and then blew the game open in the third quarter with three majors, including a Ben Hladik fumble recovery return. Defensively, Carson Labrecque had six tackles and Nicholas had five. Quarterback John Garvie had an off day, completing 8-of-18 passes for 144 yards. “We left a lot of plays on the field today,” said Smith. “We missed open receivers, dropped some catchable balls and some missed opportunities to pick it off. Salmon Arm came ready to play and did a great job against us.” The No. 3 ranked Panthers (3-0 league, 5-0 overall) visit Kamloops’ Westsyde Blue Wave at Hillside Stadium on Friday, 5 p.m.

Ladies set for 65th Star spiel Morning Star Staff

Fun and friendship will be at the forefront when the 65th annual Silver Star Bonspiel starts Friday at the Vernon Curling Club. The event, hosted by the Hi-Pro Sportswear Wednesday night women’s league, includes an auction, in which any of the ladies teams in the Vernon club can donate items. “All proceeds go to the bonpsiel enabling us to offer extra perks to the participants which certainly goes to making our event the success it is, and thus, the longevity of the event,” said Gail Powls, league president. Over the years, the bonspiel has hosted some talented curlers, includ-

ing the Swiss junior women’s national team, as well as the Korean and Japanese national women’s rinks. Teams participate from all over the Thompson Okanagan, with many out-of-town foursomes making it an annual event. There will be a soup/chili kitchen Friday night, with a continental breakfast Saturday morning, and of course, a banquet that night. There will be music and entertainment both nights. Teams can get in on the fun by entering an entertainment/ skit contest and costume contest for prizes. “Somewhere in all of this, we do curl,” laughed Powls.

Jill and Gerry were married Oct. 10, 1964 at St. Thomas More Church in Verdun, Quebec, where Gerry was born and raised. They moved from Banff to Vernon in April 1966 and were both involved in the ski industry at Tillicum Ski Area and Silver Star Ski Resort, opening the ski school and ski shop in the late ‘60s, ‘70s and early ‘80s.

A look at SD Fichtners celebrate 60 years

D stands for Secure Data and if you have any kind of digital device be it a smart phone, GPS locator, laptop, tablet or whatever that requires internal or removeable data storage you are already using this technology. While many vendors are pushing cloud technology for the safe storage of user data which offers virtually unlimited capacity, recent Vernon PC Users’ Club developments around the use of SD technology found in flashcards and thumb drives that currently max out in upper megabyte range, promise several orders magnitude greater storage capacity in the same or less space. Memory specialist SanDisk has created an SD card with 512 gigabytes (GB) of storage . Space — the highest capacity ever released. Industry gurus forecast this trend will continue with chips capable of storing terabytes (1 terabyte=1,000 gigabytes) of data in an area the size of a postage stamp (remember those)? This trend is being driven by and large by the film and television industry moving heavily into the HD format which gobbles up storage like there’s no tomorrow. The Joe consumer spinoff is that there will evolve a low-cost alternative to cloud storage which suffers from potential security issues in that one doesn’t really know where on earth, or in which cloud one’s data, are being stored. With an SD chip you can keep a physical backup in your purse or wallet. The Vernon PC Users’ Club meets the second Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Schubert Centre in the cafeteria. Call Betty at 542-7024 or Olive at 542-8490 for more information.

Davie said residents usually finance the purchase of a life lease unit with the sale of their existing home. Downsizing enables them to help pay for their retirement using the equity saved in their previous home and by reducing the costs of home operations and maintenance. Among those at Thursday’s ceremony was Rich Coleman, B.C. housing minister. “These are good projects where you can go into innovation in housing and you can actually have a society to plan and put something together where you can have affordability and stability in seniors housing,” said Coleman.

Boulevard Tree Program Interested in street trees in the boulevard, in front of your home? Contribute $50 per tree towards the boulevard tree program and the City will prepare and plant the tree in the public boulevard, install a watering pick, and undertake major works such as pruning as necessary.

Receive a $20 voucher toward the purchase of a tree at cost at Art Knapp Plantland or Swan Lake Nurseryland to plant on your own property! Vouchers are available at the Community Services Building located at 3001 32 Avenue, Vernon (the old library building). There is a limit of one voucher per household for Vernon residents and only while supplies last. The program will be in place until October 31, 2014. For additional details regarding these programs, contact sustainability@vernon.ca or 250-550-3634. November

Vernon’s mayor has taken the fight over invasive mussels right to a senior federal official.

YOU AND THE LAW TO SORT OUT POST-BREAK-UP ISSUES, THINK MEDIATION By Janice Mucalov, LL.B.

We probably all know the stories of divorcing couples at each other’s throats in court, fighting to the bitter end, sometimes even using their kids for leverage. That’s awful for the adults, worse for the children. One aim of our novel family law is to avoid such ugly court fights where possible. B.C.’s Family Law Act (which came into effect on March 18, 2013) aims to steer couples toward solving their post-break-up issues – such as parenting arrangements, financial support obligations, divvying up of property and debts – in less destructive ways. The new law encourages using “alternative dispute resolution” (ADR) methods. You and your ex may never have to go to court – and save yourselves money and grief to boot.

your children’s lives (and so with each other) for many years to come, and it’s important for the kids’ well-being to see their parents being civil to each other. Another benefit of mediation is that, because you and your ex have “bought in” to the solutions you agree on, they tend to stick (rather than stick in your throats). Surprisingly, mediations very often succeed even if you and your ex seem miles apart at the start. Of course, neither of you will get everything you want, but chances are it’s the best way for you to each get many of the things most important to you individually.

One favoured ADR process is mediation. This involves engaging a certified mediator to help you and your ex sort out your issues. In a mediation, unlike court or arbitration (another Nick ADR method), solutions aren’t imposed from on high – ultimately you and your ex must decide and agree on solutions for the mediation to succeed. So mediation is essentially a negotiation, with a seasoned professional there to assist. Decisions are reached only by agreement, and cannot be dictated by the mediator.

Okanagan Basin Water Board and Councillor Juliette Cunningham. The response from the senior Department of Fisheries and Oceans staff person was to expect legislation on the issue this fall.”

In contrast to the “take no prisoners” approach of a court battle, the less adversarial mediation process fosters better ongoing relationships during and after the break-up. That’s a big benefit. Particularly where you have kids, it’s important for you and your ex to stay on speaking terms. You’ll both be involved in

That’s because the mediator talks to each of you privately up front to try to flush out key points of concern and what’s most critical to each of you. This allows the mediator, using some tools, skill and experience, to encourage you both to share your thoughts and feelings, and with some give and take by both sides, help engineer an acceptable result.

If successful, you’ll come away with more custom-tailored solutions than a dictated result would achieve. If you agree to mediate, you both settle on a mediator (or can get one appointed by an independent mediation service if you don’t know or can’t agree on one). The mediator, often a lawyer, is a professional with extensive training in mediation (required to be accredited as a mediator). You and your ex split the cost of the mediator. There’s lots more to the new law, and to mediation. If you’re involved in a family break-up, mediation may be the right choice for you. Seek trusted professional guidance.

The mussels clog water intake pipes, pumps and boat motors, while depleting food sources for fish and producing toxins that kill fish and birds and contaminate drinking water. Beaches could also be covered with razorsharp shells. OBWB has estimated that it could cost about $43 million a year to manage the mussels if they take hold in the Okanagan. Predator Ridge fire hall proceeds The City of Vernon’s new Predator Ridge fire hall could soon be open. City council has approved $4,167 in operating funds so the new facility can function for the remainder of 2014. “Completion of station three construction is anticipated for the end of October,” said fire chief Keith Green in a memo. Construction on the fire hall originally wasn’t expected to be wrapped up until the end of 2014 so no operational funds were budgeted by the city for this year. Winter Carnival garners support A winter tradition will get a financial boost. Vernon city council has agreed to provide Vernon Winter Carnival with $10,000 for the 55th annual festivities from Feb. 6 to 15. “This is the same grant we’ve always given,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. The city funding helps the Vernon Winter Carnival Society move ahead with planning. “Each year our many diverse events attract people from all over the province, who spend money in our city and take part in the numerous events that create the Vernon Winter Carnival,” said Diana Williamson, Vernon Winter Carnival Society executive director.

City Dance and three Vernon couples are putting their best foot forward in preparation for the Rocky Mountain DanceSport Grand Prix in Calgary next weekend. Mark Warbinek and Destanne Norris, Myles Ferryman and Marijke Vandewater, and Ed Stranks and Colleen Duff will be proudly representing the local dance studio at the event Oct. 25 and 26. For the first time ever, Vernon will have representation at the largest ballroom competition in Western Canada. Competitors will strut their stuff in the waltz and chachacha categories, in several divisions. They hope to be near the top of the results page, but gaining experience is the number-one goal for these dancers. DanceSport is what used to be referred to as competitive ballroom dancing. It is now recognized by the International Olympic Committee as a sport and is expected to eventually be included in the Olympic program. City Dance specializes in ballroom, Latin, swing, country and hiphop and the studio is pleased to be delving into the competitive world. “Although all of these couples have been dancing for quite a few years, we have been training them quite intensely since June,” said Jens Goerner, coach and co-owner of City Dance. “I am very happy with their progress and I know that they will have great results.” Goerner has an extensive background in dance, having been trained in Germany. He was a successful award-winning coach and studio owner in Germany and coached many couples to success in competitions in Europe. He is happy to now be able to test the competitive waters in Canada. Goerner and business partner Heather Stranks will be accompanying the dancers to Calgary for the event. “We are so excited to be able to watch them put their skills to the test against other dancers at their level. They have been working very hard and are looking great,” said Stranks. For more information about the studio or the competition group, you can contact City Dance at 250-307-4955 or visit their website at www.citydanceok.com

New Hope offers support on grief journey Karen Bouchard Special to The Morning Star

The unthinkable has happened. Your spouse has died. Whether this follows a prolonged illness or it is a sudden accident, you are not prepared for this event. Your wedding vows said “until death parts us” and now it has taken place. You may have your will up to date and your life insurance premiums paid, but what do you do now? New Hope for Widow/ers and Their Families is a support organization dedicated to encouraging, helping and bringing hope to widows and widowers in our area. Support groups, resources, a newsletter and an annual retreat help the bereaved through their time of grief in a safe and healthy way. The weekly coffee group is held each Thursday morn-

ing in room #003 at the People Place in Vernon and this is often the first contact a newly bereaved person has with New Hope. The group is led by volunteers who are uniquely able to come alongside and offer empathetic understanding, since each of them has experienced the loss of a spouse through death. The work of New Hope could not take place without donations from members, funeral homes and churches. New Hope is a non-profit society with a registered charity number. An annual fundraiser helps support the operation of New Hope’s Vernon office and its monthly expenses of rent, telephone, internet and part-time office staff. New Hope for Widows and Widowers is holding a Benefit Concert & Silent Auction Nov. 8 at 7 p.m. at Vernon Christian Fellowship. Tickets are $10 per person, available

from the New Hope office and at the door. Guests will enjoy dessert, music by the Glanz family from Kelowna, door prizes and silent auction items ranging from art, crafts, event tickets, business services, dining and a golf package from Predator Ridge. Contact the New Hope office at 250-5456004 or new-hope@telus.net to reserve your tickets. New Hope has also entered an idea in the Aviva Community Fund competition to help reduce the cost of the retreat and make it affordable to those who are widowed and their families to attend a weekend retreat and learn to deal with many issues of the journey through grief. To support this idea, vote daily at www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf19840. For more information about New Hope, go to the website at www.newhope-grief.org/

but very quickly would stop running after the ball and look at you as if to say, ‘you throw that ball one more time and you can get it yourself.’ She was a very smart little dog.” Freckles came to work as a therapy dog for about seven years before she retired. When not at work she kept an eye on the household at Florentinus’ house. There, she would make sure the different cats would not get into trouble and would pick sides with the children when there was roughhousing to be done. “At times she would even notify me if the kids were outside doing something that could be dangerous,” said Florentinus. Although mostly

quite content to be at work and with her family at home, she would occasionally walk away to follow her personal interests, and come home hours later, her coat covered with burrs and twigs and a prize bone she had picked up along the way. “As the years went on, she started slowing down and we noticed that she was having more and more trouble with simple daily activities, until she could not walk normally anymore and would without any advance warning just fall over sideways. It was awful to see her struggle so. “On August 11, 2014, we said our tearful goodbyes to her.” Schindel said both her family and DayBreak would like to thank the SPCA. “We could never have wished for a better family dog and work companion.” They also thank Crescent Falls Veterinary Hospital’s doctors and staff for their gentle care over the years and at the end. “And we would like to thank all the staff and clients of Day-Break and the Gateby, who have been interacting with Freckles — she will be missed. “But in my opinion we have come full circle, as all of her belongings and the big bin with the food were brought to the SPCA, where we first met her in the spring of 2003.” Schindel said if people wish to remember Freckles, they are asked to make a donation to the SPCA.

Candy wrappers: Empty wrappers still have the smell of what was in them. Ingesting these wrappers could cause an intestinal blockage. Glow sticks: If your pet chews on and ingests the ingredient found within, it can cause pain and irritation in the mouth and also could present a choking hazard. Fireworks: Fireworks are loud and scary for our four legged friend. Safe and secure in their own house is the best place for your pet on Halloween.

Family of the corn Two corn mazes, the story of a murderous family, and more will terrify at O’Keefe Ranch’s Field of Screams Morning Star Staff

At the turn of the 20th century, a humble and hard working family, the Melfords of Oklahoma State, started a homestead in the North Okanagan area. It later became a household-named business, wellknown for high quality farm fresh goods and products. The Melford family was renowned for their Saturday family picnics on the farmstead, open to the public and providing free picnic fare, all while Josef Melford shared “the good word” from the South of new found faith. Suspicions began to grow around reports of odd happenings at the family farm. Concern grew as more and more reports of missing people surfaced. Those folks who became involved in the family faith also started to report strange behavior and practices that left some of the growing following divided in their rising discomfort. Over time, enough rumour and hearsay circulated to give investigators a reason to look more closely at the family’s land and farm business.

While the investigation was ongoing, reports emerged from Oklahoma State of more than just tall tales and gossip. The family was the target of a U.S. national search as they were on a most wanted list for multiple mass murders. At least five family members were identified: Robert Melford (Bobby the Butcher), Meredith Melford (Granny), Josef Melford (Pastor Jo), Annabelle Melford (Annex Annie), and RoseMarie Melford. Once investigators and local authorities had cause to arrest the family members, they breached the property but found only vacant buildings. The entire family had vanished. Communication between Oklahoma State and the Vernon police, as well as Canadian authorities, determined that this was at least the third time the family had settled on a farmstead and then vanished. Suspicions were that the family had been evading the law and continuing their practices for generations. The Vernon investigation never generated any con-

The closest thing to evidence of foul play found was a series of unmarked shallow graves behind the farm’s barn - all empty. The Vernon site remains an unsolved mystery to this day. After an overwhelming response to last year’s Haunted Corn Maze, O’Keefe Ranch is building a bigger and better scare this year just in time

for Halloween. Not only will there be a theatrically-themed and operated maze, based on the story of the Melford family, another maze has been built at the ranch to double the scare factor. “We had an unexpected phenomenal turn out last year and we want to give our community, as well as the surrounding communities, a reason to come back for an even better experience this year,” said ranch man-

ager Glen Taylor. “It’s a great way to help a very important piece of Vernon’s history and its survival. Without our community’s tremendous support, we wouldn’t be where we are today.” Fright enthusiasts must choose the experience they dare to embark upon, with small clues enticing them to decide their fate. “This year we are giving more than just a reason to come to our event, we

are giving folks a reason to come back and do this more than once,” said local director and actor Matt Brown, who is lending a hand at creating O’Keefe’s 2014 Field of Screams. The Field of Screams opens this week, Wednesday to Saturday, and Oct. 28 to 30. Admission is $10 (free for 2014/2015 seasons pass holders) at the gate, which opens at 6 p.m. The mazes are open from 7 until 10:30 p.m.

Vernon artist Jodi Pederson needs your vote KRiStin FROnEMan

Morning Star Staff

Vernon-raised musician Jodi Pederson needs her community’s help to climb to the PEAK. A familiar voice on the local music scene, the Kalamalka Secondary School grad was chosen out of 250 applicants for this year’s PEAK Performance Project, the intense B.C. music competition, headed by Vancouver radio station 102.7 The PEAK. She is one of 12 musical acts

vying for the top three spots. Fans can now vote for their top artist and Pederson is hoping that her hometown will help her get a leg up. “My last challenges for the Peak Performance Project are here, and they consist of my fundraiser Because I am A Girl Plan Canada (with a performance in Vancouver), and I have set up an online donation site, and then last but not least, a very important part of my success in this competition is the online vot-

ing challenge. I am hoping that I can get my hometown of Vernon to cast votes for me, so I can continue on with my success in my music career,” said Pederson. Now in its seventh year, The PEAK Performance Program has changed the lives of 100 artists and created a vibrant music community in B.C. and has just expanded into Alberta. Pederson has already joined her fellow finalists in an intensive, oneweek bootcamp in the music busi-

ness and recently performed in a showcase with two other PEAK artists at Vancouver’s Fortune Sound Club. Those artists who make it into the top three will perform at the finale concert, where they will take home $102,700 for first place, $75,000 for second and $50,000 for third. The Top 3 announcement will take place Nov. 4. To vote for Pederson, go to http:// bc.peakperformanceproject.com/vote.

Dracula Untold

ord Vlad the Impaler (Luke Evans) of Transylvania has problems. The Turks and their sultan keep trying to invade. During the last battle in which he took part, Vlad was attacked by some otherworldly creature that has left its mark on him, and now the sultan wants 1,000 Transylvanian boys in trade for peace. When Vlad refuses the sultan, the leader of the Turks makes it 1,001 to include Vlad’s only son. Rather than keep the peace, Vlad chops off a few more heads, keeping his son, but starting a war. In order to ensure victory, Vlad returns to the mysterious cave where he was attacked by the unknown being. There, an ancient vampire sells Vlad on the gifts of immortality with amazing power. Vlad accepts, hoping to become invincible in battle, but will the price he pays for them prove too great? We say, “Dracula Untold is like 300 with vampires.” TAYLOR: This is not a horror film. The picture you see here, of the creepy old vampire in the cave, is the scariest thing in the whole film. This is not an exaggeration of an opinion, the fact of the matter is that Dracula Untold is an action film. It is a war movie with all the real or imagined problems associated with war, for a warrior with a people, a family and a penchant for killing. The more horrific aspects of the

HOWE: After seeing the trailer for Dracula Untold for the last six months or so and getting totally fed up with it, I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this film. Yes, it’s very comic bookish. Some of the acting was terrible and the fight scenes between man and vampire are a little naff, yet there was something that glued it all together and made it a semi-decent movie. It reminded me of Highlander with Christopher Lambert. TAYLOR: Enjoyed is a strong word, but I’ll agree it is a semidecent movie. I thought it was overly noisy, with lots of clanging metal sounds for no reason. There’s also a lot of whispered lines. It’s all over the place, loud, flashy, it might be pretty, certainly expensive, but it’s a shallow film trying to tell an epic tale. It needed 20 more minutes of heart and fewer accoutrements. I wanted to care; the film made it impossible. HOWE: I thought

People needed to put on Lumby play Morning Star Staff

The Monashee Arts Council is recruiting members of the public to take part in the original historical comedy, Moose Under Coyote Sleeping, written by Lumby playwright Phil Wagner. “There are all sorts of

opportunities for people to take part in this production, not just the acting roles,” said Jennifer Greenwood, MAC arts and culture program coordinator. “We need people to help with a huge range of tasks: costumes, construction,

stage manager, technical director, publicity, sound, lighting, makeup... There is definitely an opportunity for everyone to take part.” The council is hosting an information and application event at Charles Bloom Secondary School Community Theatre Tuesday from 7 to 9:30 p.m. for anyone interested in participating in the production. The evening is being billed as Bright Lights, Small Town.

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist CHRIS SHIDELER

Eggs seem to be making a bit of a comeback from the bad books of nutrition. Eating an egg a day is no longer taboo. The yolks do contain some cholesterol but also some healthy nutrients like vitamins A and D, iron, zinc and folate. Social media repetitive stress injuries are becoming more and more common especially among teens. With some teens texting more than 3000 times per month, it’s no wonder some are experiencing pain in the thumbs, neck, shoulders and elbows. Texters are not about to stop doing it so good posture while texting is important. Sitting up straight and taking a break from it for a few minutes will help minimize the problem. If it persists, see a physiotherapist. Pharmacists often are asked about certain herbal medications and whether they are safe and effective for certain conditions. An example is the herb Feverfew, a member of the daisy family and some have suggested it may help those with migraines. There is “fair” but not convincing evidence that it may help prevent migraines. However, it should be avoided in pregnancy and avoided for two weeks prior to surgery because it may affect blood clotting. Most pregnant women experience morning sickness during the first trimester although it often lasts longer than just mornings. Various non-drug treatments have been tried. These include acupuncture, chamomile, lemon oil, vitamin B6 and ginger. The evidence for ginger and B6 was greater (although still weak). Our pharmacists are familiar with these products. We’d be glad to help.

The co-founder of the non-profit VFRMS, Machura is opening for Vriend at their performance in Vernon, which takes place at the Vernon Christian Fellowship Hall, Saturday.

Her soulful voice can evoke nostalgic memories of legends such as Amy Winehouse and Aretha Franklin, and yet there is an original, fresh quality to her music that sets her apart from any other. Vriend’s parents knew they had a musical prodigy on their hands

when she mastered the violin and then the piano before she was 10 years old. Since then, her career has been on a steady incline of positive recognition for her stunning vocals and appreciation for her inspiring, soulful lyrics.

Moore brings his musical friends to the stage Morning Star Staff

Local tenor Paul Moore has some surprises in store when he and some musically talented friends take to the stage at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Saturday. As in past concerts, Moore says there will be a mixture of deep commitment to musical performance, as well as his desire to connect people to music through laughter. “I get asked if I’m an opera singer who is funny or a comedian who happens to be an opera singer. I like to do both; it engages and calms people and it’s fun, so I continue,” said Moore. Moore studied voice in Victoria, Montreal, Toronto, and New York as well as Salzburg, Austria and Tel Aviv, Israel, with some of the most influential teachers and coaches of the opera world. He has performed with symphonies and opera companies across Canada as well as with New York City Opera before he left the business of performing for the business of being a dad. “I am so excited to present this concert. I have a wide range of favourite types of music, and so do the musicians I work with regularly. My hope is that the beauty, the intensity and the fun nature of music will be honoured during this show,” said Moore. “I feel that people will come away having learned

Paul Moore something new and having had an amazing time.” Joining Moore will be his Vernon-based choir, The Kokanee Singers, who, along with accompanist Mabel Thibault, will perform a varied repertoire of classics, including Danny Boy, Singing In The Rain, Ubi Caritas, Sure On This Shining Night, and well as compositions by Maurice Durufle and Samuel Barber. Moore will also be joined by singers Darren Roesler and Patricia Howorko, and accompanied on the piano by Graham Vink and Emerald Holt, to perform some operatic repertoire, including famed Puccini aria Nessun Dorma and Bizet’s The Pearl Fishers Duet (where Moore will be joined by Roesler), German lied from Franz Schubert and Italian songs from the 1700s. Mezzo soprano Howorko will perform the well-known aria, Voi Che Sapete from Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro. Audiences will also be able to jive to Moore and the 17-piece Dreamland Band, a big band out of Kelowna, who will perform some Frank Sinatra

and Michael Bublé favourites such as Come Fly With Me, Sway, Fly Me To The Moon and It Had Better Be Tonight. “The first rehearsal I had with the Dreamland Band was amazing. We went through the repertoire I had suggested and they brought forth ideas of songs on their lists,” said Moore. “From that collaboration, we chose a couple of the songs for this concert. I am enjoying working with such an accomplished and supportive group and

between us, we plan to bring some wonderful pieces to the stage.” Paul Moore and Friends are at the Performing Arts Centre Ken Smedley presents THE

Enderby encourages local shopping for Small Business Week Morning Star Staff

With Small Business Week starting Monday, the Enderby & District Chamber of Commerce is celebrating the vital role small businesses play in the community. “Small businesses make up a major part of Enderby & District’s business community and play a critical role in driving our local

economy and creating jobs,” said Corinne Peard, chamber general manager. “Small Business Week is a great opportunity for our community to celebrate these hardworking businesses that bring great ideas and entrepreneurial spirit to our city.” As a member of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, the Enderby chamber is part of

active advocacy to support small businesses, including: The creation of and implementation of B.C.’s Small Business Accord; removal of thousands of B.C. businesses from recycling costs and red tape under Multi Material B.C.’s packaging and printed paper program; and continued advocacy for lower municipal business taxes.

The Chamber encourages residents to demonstrate their support for small businesses this week by making an extra effort to shop local. “Celebrate local small businesses this week by purchasing goods from local shops, eating out at a local restaurant or café, or paying for a local service such as a haircut,” said Peard.

Don’t overlook small business

o another week goes by and you happen to hear that it’s a special week to recognize a particular group or cause. Yes, we can hear the collective yawn as it seems we can’t get through a single day on the calendar without hearing the rallying cry for one cause or another. Well, this week and month are no different, but before you jump off this page, take a moment and think Dan Rogers about what life would be like without small businesses. From auto repair specialists to doctors,

CHAMBER NEWS

from tattoo artists to computer repair specialists, having someone local that is able to respond to your needs is critical, and the benefits to the economy are immense though quite often that aspect goes unnoticed. That’s why this month is Small Business Month in B.C. and next week is recognized as Small Business Week across the country. It’s our chance to recognize the tremendous contributions made by small businesses. They support families and keep local economies strong and are in essence the heart and soul of communities like ours. The owners are parents, coaches, entrepreneurs and volunteers who make a positive impact on the community every day. Ninety-eight per cent of businesses in B.C. are small businesses, and they create

opportunities for more than a million of their employees. The small business sector has a huge impact on the province’s economy, and ultimately on the quality of life for millions of British Columbians. At the national level, small- and mediumsized enterprises represent 99.9 per cent of all companies in Canada, and they employ more than 60 per cent of private sector workers. Almost half of the members in the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce are small businesses with less than 10 employees. That gives you a sense of how entrepreneurial the city really is. During Small Business Week, the Vernon chamber and Community Futures North Okanagan are teaming up to put on a few

business development workshops. These no-charge seminars are put on each year to provide additional resources to entrepreneurs and small business owners in the city and region in order to help them grow and prosper. If you have a chance to attend the sessions at Community Futures, please take advantage of the opportunity and in the meantime, perhaps take a moment and thank those entrepreneurs who are running small businesses across our region. They are making a huge contribution to the well being of our city and region, and they do indeed deserve to be recognized with their own special week. Dan Rogers is the general manager at the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce.

Communication is critical; having team meetings and a written policy manual can be helpful because you want to make sure your employees understand what is expected of them and what you want in return. Ongoing training is often overlooked by small businesses. How your employees deal with situations, questions and special requests are things you need to make sure they understand before they get in front of clients.

Energy efﬁciency. Good for smaller footprints. And your bottom line. Don’t let your operating costs leave you in the cold this winter. As a small business, you probably want to focus on making money. FortisBC can help reduce your operating costs with no-cost and low-cost energy saving tips to help lower your monthly natural gas bill and reduce your environmental footprint. If you’re in the position to upgrade space and water heating systems or commercial cooking equipment, FortisBC also offers rebates on highefﬁciency models.

Small actions can add up to savings Think about cutting costs where you won’t notice it. If your business uses natural gas for heating or cooking, here are some easy tips from FortisBC to help you save energy and money. Save hot water ■ Fix leaky taps and install watersaving aerators on kitchen and bathroom faucets. ■ If running a commercial kitchen consider installing a low-ﬂow spray valve to pre-rinse dishes. These devices use approximately 50 per cent less water than standard types. ■ If you can access your hot water pipes, wrap them with foam or rubber pipe insulation to prevent heat loss.

Save heat ■ Install a programmable thermostat and program it to 20 °C when at work and no more than 17 °C when no one is there. ■ Your space could stay warm for up to an hour before the heating system needs to kick in again, so why not program your thermostat to turn down the heat an hour before you close shop.

C HECK I T O UT AT B OOKLAND

■ If you operate a street front business, don’t leave the door open on cold days as it’ll push all your heated air out the door.

YOU ARE HERE

Upgrading can save you two ways When it’s time to upgrade, check out FortisBC’s rebates for highefﬁciency boilers, water heaters and cooking equipment. In addition to the rebate, you’ll experience ongoing savings on your natural gas bill with more efﬁcient appliances installed. If you’re not sure what upgrade is right for your business, consider a free consultation from a business energy advisor. It’s all part of how FortisBC is helping businesses save energy and money.

Challenge assists charities Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

Survey says... Those who remember the classic hilarity of Family Feud can check out the local version, which will see area businesses and youth go head to head for a cause. The Enactus Charity Challenge returns with the popular gameshow Corporate Feud (a spinoff of the popular ‘70s gameshow Family Feud). The fundraiser for both Enactus and the Teen Junction Youth Centre goes Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Village Green Hotel. Tickets are $35, which includes an appy and beverage, and are available at the Bean Scene or Village Green. The teams going head-to-head to name the most popular responses to general knowledge questions are the Teen Junction Youth Centre, Village Green, Scotiabank, Okanagan College, NOS Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Bice Contracting. Along with the entertainment of the show, plus a silent auction with prizes such as a gift from the Village Green Hotel, those in attendance will be making a difference both locally and abroad. “We have chosen to support the Teen Junction Youth Centre

because teens are often overlooked and those at risk desperately need support and services,” said Meagan Bonneau, with Enactus Okanagan College. Enactus is an international non-profit organization that brings together student, academic, and business leaders who are committed to using entrepreneurial action to improve the quality of life and standard of living for people in need. “We will be using the proceeds from the

event to fund our community projects such as Instill Life where Enactus OC students attempt to connect the classroom to the real world,” said Bonneau. Elementary students in Grade 5/6 learn the importance of agribusiness locally and globally by producing and selling cards to raise funds that are microlent to entrepreneurs in developing countries around the world. The funds raised for Teen Junction are also making a difference as

the centre’s food budget was recently cut. “Their dedication and unwavering support to help teens that are the hardest to reach and are the hardest to serve is incredible and very inspiring,” said Bonneau. “They are not only providing disadvantaged teens with a safe space and warm meal but helping them to see and reach their full potential.” For more information call 250-503-6263 or email a.dackko88@ gmail.com

IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURE

Crossword Puzzle

Are loose dentures a problem for you? If your dentures shift while chewing or talking and you are tired of those embarrasing moments, consider dental implants for stabilization. Imagine your denture snapping into place, feeling solid and secure. Often a new denture is not necessary. Your existing denture can be made to fit your new implants.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Practicality comes first. If you put your personal and financial matters in order and catch up on some overdue household chores, you’ll keep your day free of stress.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Reconnect with someone from your past. It’s possible that you have more in common now than you did before. A stroll down memory lane is likely to bring fond recollections.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Don’t let the advice of a critic or a disparaging remark cause you to give up on your dreams. The pleasure you receive from undertaking enjoyable projects is worth all the slings and arrows.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You may be confused about a current personal situation. Try not to dwell on negative happenings. Be patient and let things develop naturally. A new hobby will distract you.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You will feel better about a troubled relationship once you get your feelings out in the open. Don’t make accusations or ultimatums. Remain calm and reasonable, and deal with matters maturely.

PEAKING NOW

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Opt for a change of scenery. A residential move may not be practical, but a short getaway to a national park or scenic destination can revive and rejuvenate you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Legal documents should be your focus. Taking care of small but tedious tasks will set your mind at ease. Once you have everything in order, you will feel free to move on.

MARKET

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will be dismayed by what’s going on in your community. If you keep your plans in place, everything will turn in your favour, regardless of what develops. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Let the company of friends and pleasant surroundings help to elevate your mood. You need a break from the problems you’ve been faced with lately. Recreational, lighthearted activities will do you good.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will crave new ideas and stimulation. Look into activities that will take you outside of your comfort zone. If you resolve to try something new, you won’t be sorry.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) It’s a good time to complete unfinished projects and flesh out ideas that you’ve been contemplating. Get all your materials in order ahead of time to avoid scrambling and becoming discouraged. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may feel like you are in a rut, but if you make personal changes that perk you up, it will give you enough incentive to get moving in a positive direction.

Hormones Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. 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 uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

AUTUMN ADVENTURES & SCENIC SIGHTS

Packing up for paradise jamie ross Special To The Morning Star

D OMINICAN REPUBLIC - I am up early, but the sun is already warm. I walk the seemingly endless silky white sand beach, past palms swaying in the morning breeze. The clear turquoise waters curl gently on the shore. The lounge chairs and grass shelters are empty now, but soon guests will start to wander down, to claim their place in the sun. If you believe that Caribbean cruises would be heaven if only there was more beach time and drinks were included, then here is the place for you: Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic. I must say, I have never been one for a luxurious resort vacation. Most of my vacations are more geared to action and adventure then to relaxation. I prefer trips where you visit cultural landmarks and learn the history of a place. That being said, in the throes of a Canadian winter, all I’m looking for here in the Dominican is blue sky, inviting ocean and a place where the sun is shining. At Punta Cana, nearly 40 all-inclusive resorts are sprinkled along about 35 kilometres of wide beach

fringed with palm and coconut trees. My choice for a few days is the newly launched Level at the Melia Caribe Tropical. Once you’ve arrived, you can stash your wallet in the safe and settle in. The only decisions you’ll have to make are at the buffet or at the door of your room, where the stone walkway takes you through immaculate grounds and gardens either to the pool or to the private beach. The Dominican Republic covers the eastern two-thirds of the Caribbean’s second largest island, Hispaniola, and attracts more international visitors than any other Caribbean island. In addition to more than 1,400 kilometres of sugar-coloured sand beaches, the DR boasts tropical rain forests, cascading waterfalls, rushing rivers, giant sand dunes, and mangrove jungles. Manfred Schoebel, general manager for Meliá Caribe Tropical, tells me that the property is currently at 95 per cent occupancy. This surprises me. During my stay there is never a feeling of it being busy or crowded. Unlike many allinclusives, there are choices of where to sit on the private beach or around the pool. Even

in mid-afternoon, there are many empty beach chairs, and plenty of choice — sun or shade On the food side, the buffets are varied and there are also the Asian, Italian and Mediterranean restaurants of Cuatro. This new establishment is divided into four different dining experiences, including Uno, traditional steakhouse; Dos, a Gastro Pub; Tres, a fusion of Peruvian fare with Japanese and Cantonese cuisine; and Cuatro, a beachside buffet serving international cuisine. As a former Spanish colony, many of the local dishes carry a familiar Latin American feel, with an unlikely mixture of influences; European, African, and native Taíno Indian cultures. If you want to get a

little active, the resort has a water sports centre with kayaks, windsurfers, paddle boards and sailboats. You can book a dive or snorkel excursion, para-sailing, or a catamaran tour. Guests are able to indulge in the resort’s experiences menu, featuring special workshops, dinners on the beach, romantic private breakfasts, and Energy for Life activities like body balance — a mix of yoga and tai chi. Personal concierges make priority reservations for à la carte restaurants, the YHI Wellness spa, golf courses, tennis courts and outside activities. If you are travelling with children, the Kids’ Zone will occupy the little ones, while the adventure park and rock climbing wall

& COMPUTER Sales Service

entertain those a bit older. My ground level room features a Jacuzzi, spa shower, and something called a pillow and fragrance menu. The service is impressive, and the kindness of the Dominicans is wonderfully authentic. Overall, the Melia CaribeTropical gives you the best of what Punta Cana has to offer: A holiday that can be romantic, family friendly or focused on well-needed rest and relaxation. Don’t go expecting to soak up Dominican culture, the resorts of Punta Cana seem particularly isolated, but if what you want is a luxurious escape, the Level is built to carry you away from the cares of the world. Jamie Ross is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

It’s the Service after the Sale that Counts!

Bridge by Phillip Alder START AT TRICK ONE TO REACH TRICK 13 Bill Bryson writes humorous books on travel and science. He said, “I always tell people there’s only one trick to writing: You have to write something that people are willing to pay money to read. It doesn’t have to be very good, necessarily, but somebody, somewhere, has got to be willing to pay money for it.” In bridge, there is only one trick to winning: You have to find a line of declarer play or defense that works. It does not have to be mathematically very good, but something that succeeds. However, if you constantly make second-best

plays, you will lose in the long run. So try to play accurately. In this deal, South pushes himself into seven no-trump. What should he do after West leads the heart jack? North might have rebid two no-trump, but support with support is a reliable policy. And South’s last bid was a slight gamble, but North rated to have decent diamonds for his opening bid when he had only one ace and one king. South has 13 top tricks: one spade, two hearts, four diamonds and six clubs. But since the diamond suit is blocked, that is true only if he has an entry to reach the diamond ace-queen. Declarer

must win the first trick in his hand with the heart ace, cash the diamond king-jack, play a heart to dummy’s king, and discard his spade losers on the diamond ace-queen. If South wins trick one on the board, he had better hope that West discards a diamond while the clubs are run.

CORDES, Hermann

With much sadness we announce the passing of Hermann Cordes on October 13thth, 2014. Hermann was born in Groningen, The Netherlands on February 27thth, 1936, the son of Harm Albert Cordes and Alida Johanna CharloƩ Charlotte Schaaf. As a young child, Hermann experienced the Second World War. The Canadian army, which liberated the north of The Netherlands in 1945, made a deep impression on him. Hermann immigrated to Canada at the age of 22. ;At that ti Ɵme it seemed as if the family he had left leŌ behind would never see him (At thanŬs to air travel all the Dutch families were able to visit Hermann again, but thanks and he to visit them.Ϳ them.) Hermann wanted land and space and a place to rear chicŬens. He found that space in Lumby on Whitevale Road where he built chickens. his four acre homestead by himself in the early 1960’s and where he lived for Įft Ōy years. As well as working worŬing his land, he was employed for many years almost ﬁ η22. as Custodian by School District #22. This Ŭind Ŭnown as “Gramps”, ͞Gramps͟, “Dad ͞Dad Hermann”, Hermann͟, “Uncle ͞hncle kind and gentle man was known Hermann” or “Hermann”, and liked by all for his big smile and sense of humor. You knew he was about town when you saw his blue Volkswagon truck.

It’s a perfect way to walk or run off Thanksgiving dinner. The second annual Telus Great Pumpkin Run and Walk was held on Thanksgiving Monday morning in Armstrong, with 155 people participating. The event raised $1,900 for the Armstrong Food Bank, the Brown Bag Lunch program and next year’s event. “This event was attended by people from as far away as Calgary and Vancouver,” said event director Ron Neden. In the five-km run, the first three female runners were Chantel Jeffrey with a time of photo submitted 21 minutes 45 seconds, The first three women in Megan Harms in 22:57 the Telus Great Pumpkin and Wendy Armstrong- Run in Armstrong were Taylor in 23:50. Wendy Armstrong-Taylor The first three men (third, from left), Megan across the line were Ian McKechnie in 19:11, Harms (second) and Michael Brown in 19:28 Chantel Jeffrey (first). and John Wilson in 20:20. These top runners were given hand-decorated chocolate medals created and donated by Chocoliro Fine Chocolates. In finishing order, Deb Kruger, Randy Kruger and Korey Schentag were the first three in the five-km walk. In the 2.5 km walk, the first three were McKenna Brown, Wynn Brown and Tristan McKenzie. Complete results can be seen on the event’s Facebook’s page. Costume prizes were awarded to Linda Grey and Pat Ratcliffe and draw prizes were awarded to many people.
