Surgery, and kisses, give Hayley hope CARA BRADY

Morning Star Staff

loan Halliwell likes to give Mom’s “owies” little butterfly kisses to help make them better. The two-and-a-half-year-old doesn’t know that the incisions on her mother, Hayley McDougall’s head are from an experimental surgery, the only one done in North America, designed to place electrical stimulation at the temples to relieve the severe pain that has not stopped in 10 years. “Her Dad helps her scrub her hands and then she touches my head and kisses it and says, ‘Hair grow back.’” said McDougall. “She knows Mom hurts but that it should make me feel better later on. We prepared her for it. I’ve been prepared for the surgery since last year when we were at the Mayo Clinic and it was suggested as a possibility for me. All my hopes and dreams were for this and everything was on hold until it could be done.” After MSP finally agreed to pay for the surgery, McDougall, her husband, Mike Halliwell, Sloan, and mother, Kathy Goldie, had two weeks until the surgery was scheduled. With help from community fundraising, their travel and accommodation expenses were met and they headed to the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona for pre-operative consultation. “Some people warned me of the risks but I didn’t see the risks. I couldn’t go on living the way I was. I know my family worried about the risks and I am well taken care of because my family thinks of everything. I am looking forward to the surgery pain being over so I can let the device do its job,” said McDougall. The surgery was planned to add additional wires to the battery in McDougall’s abdomen which supply two electrical stimulation devices at the back of her head. One wire on the right front of her body and another on the

I was awake for the first hour of the surgery so the device could be turned on and I could tell if it was in the right place. When I felt the stimulation on my left temple, I started to cry. It was right where it needed to be. The right side was harder because the placement is so precise. At one point, it made my jaw lock. There was one doctor on the medical team of 15 whose only job was to check my face to make

sure that nothing was being stimulated inappropriately.” After a long period of stimulation, six months to a year, the nerves will be retrained not to send the messages of pain to the brain and McDougall should feel some relief in the level of pain. That doesn’t mean the pain, which has no known cause, is gone, just that it cannot be felt so acutely. “In the surgeon’s eyes and in my

eyes, if the pain comes down from a 10/10 to a nine or eight out of 10, if I can have one more day out of bed a week, or a few more hours out of bed each day, the surgery will be a success,” said McDougall. The surgery took place Oct. 4, with McDougall under anesthetic for the last five hours of the sixhour surgery which was filmed to be used as education for other similar surgeries. She was sent home four days later and is still recovering. She will have follow-up every six months at the Mayo Clinic. There are still risks. The battery is now at capacity and it is not known how long it will last. The wires or the stimulation devices could shift position from normal body movement and that would be cause for emergency surgery. “It seems to be taking a long time to recover from the surgery pain but I’m slowly getting out of bed for a little longer each day. So far, most of the improvement has been in the post-surgery pain. The head pain is still there like a dagger in each side of my temples and I am very aware of the electric shock,” said McDougall, who is delighted when she is able to go out and watch her daughter’s dance lessons for a few minutes or get up to join the family for dinner. “I knew the pain wasn’t going to stop right away but now I know the option that was available for me to get help has been used. We have achieved it. I can look for improvement. And I want my suffering to have been some help to others who have this or any kind of pain, particularly things that can’t be diagnosed or show up on a test. It is important to try all the options and keep hoping.” For now, she’s grateful for the support of her family — sister Jade Goldie is staying with her and her husband as a nanny and caregiver — the community which helped make it possible to go to Arizona for the operation and for the hope of reduced pain. And for those butterfly kisses.

Foster optimistic about party fortunes richard rolke Morning Star Staff

B.C. Liberals continue to lag in the opinion polls, but a party member is confident next spring’s election will be a success. Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, was among the delegates at the Liberal convention in Whistler Friday and Saturday. “We had 1,000 people here which is great. People are fired up,” he said. This was the last major gathering of party members before British Columbians vote in May. “It’s important for sure,” said Foster of

the session. The convention agenda included policy sessions, cabinet accountability, an election campaign overview and campaign training sessions. Premier Christy Clark gave a keynote address Saturday. But beyond the procedural activities, Foster says it’s important for the media and the public to see that the B.C. Liberals are strong and not fragmented. “People need to know there is a solid team and we’re moving forward,” he said. “We’ve got some exciting new candidates

for the election.” However, one of the province’s opposition parties insists the Liberals cannot win a fourth term. “It is understandable that Christy Clark and the other Liberals want to put the best possible spin on events as they gather for convention this weekend,” said John Cummins, B.C. Conservative leader, in a release. “But an objective examination of readilyavailable evidence clearly demonstrates that both the leader and the party are in obvious decline, and their brand is badly tarnished.”

The Township of Spallumcheen plans on moving in a new direction when it comes to its administration. As promised Monday, Mayor Janice Brown issued a three-line statement regarding the termination of Lynda Shykora, who had been the chief administrative officer for the township for nearly eight years. “The Township of Spallumcheen resolved to end its employment relationship with chief administrative officer Ms. Lynda Shykora on Oct. 22, 2012,” read the statement. “Township council authorized a settlement package in accordance with applicable legal principles and after obtaining legal advice. Council is seeking to establish a new direction for staff leadership for the township at this time.” Asked in an e-mail for the reason for Shykora’s termination, Brown replied, “Without cause.”’ Shykora worked the first regular monthly council meeting Oct. 1 and was suspended without cause later that week. “I am astounded and shocked at the decision and I am extremely disappointed in the way it was done,” said Shykora by e-mail on Friday. “I guess the council made the decision they believe to be the best for the organization and for the community. Unfortunately for me, this is an occupational hazard; it is not uncommon for a new council to be elected in November, and for the axe to fall on senior administration if they are not suited to the new council.” Shykora stands by her record and the open door policy she had in place. “I know that I did a good job at the township over these eight years,” she said. “Always had the best interests of the residents in mind. “Even though my career ended at the township earlier than I would have liked, I have to say that it was an honour to work with and to serve all past members of council and the past mayor, as well as members of the community.” Chief financial officer Brian Freeman-Marsh has been acting administrator. Brown said a search will be put in place for Shykora’s replacement.

News Photographer launches first children’s book Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Lucas VanderVelde has been obsessed about Canada’s national sport since he could walk. Shy, with sparkling blue eyes and a thick swath of blonde hair, the now four-year-old boy often suits himself in a Vancouver Canucks jersey one day and in an Ottawa Senators’ sweater another (an ode to his mom’s Vernon roots, as well as his dad’s hometown of Renfrew in the Ottawa Valley). The young Lucas also wields a pretty strong slap shot for a boy whose teeth are still coming in. So when Lucas’ mom, Lisa VanderVelde, The Morning Star’s staff photographer, went searching for a book on hockey for her then two-year-old son, she came up empty handed. It turns out there are few books, if any, about hockey for preschoolers. VanderVelde (née Marshall) decided to do something about it. She created a character based on a young moose who wants to play hockey, but is told he can’t because he is a moose. “A lot of books out there on hockey are for older kids. Lots of them are wordy. I wanted a good story that captured Canada’s passion for hockey that a young child could relate to,” said VanderVelde about her just published children’s book entitled, Marshall Plays Hockey. Illustrated by VanderVelde’s sister, Erin Black, who lives in Dunedin, New Zealand, the book follows Marshall’s passion to play the game despite the nay saying from his friends, Betty the Beaver, Danny the White-Tailed Deer, Candice the Canadian Goose, and Bandit the Black Bear. “We wanted to use all Canadian animals,” said VanderVelde, who worked on the concept, while Black, a fine

She just knew what I was trying to say and got an essence for the book. I really think she captured the personalities so well in the book.” Once done, VanderVelde and Black went the traditional route and sent the book out to publishing companies and literary agents. “We were one in a million doing the same thing and we had no success, so we decided to use our own resources with help from our friends,” said VanderVelde. Help also arrived from fellow Morning Star staff. Life editor Katherine Mortimer helped with the editing. Creative consultant Sean McConkey designed the book, and former Morning Star reporter Natalie

Appleton, who now teaches English and writing at Okanagan College, wrote the summary at the back of the book. Both VanderVelde and Black invested their own money to then have the book printed at Wayside Press. Now with its first run off the press, Marshall Plays Hockey is already proving popular amongst those who have heard about it through word of mouth and on Facebook. And VanderVelde is about to get an even bigger audience when she launches the book at the Vernon Vipers $5 Friday home game at Wesbild Centre, Nov. 2, sponsored by Costco. VanderVelde and her entourage will be selling copies of the book in the concourse at the Wesbild Centre, and will also give away a couple of copies at the game. Any parents with young hockey players/ fans out there interested in the book can also contact VanderVelde by e-mailing lisavandy1@ gmail.com.

Parents speak out against plan richard rolke Morning Star Staff

School district officials may be getting the message sent to them by Lake Country parents. Upwards of 200 people Thursday attended a consultation meeting on the Central Okanagan School District’s longterm facility plan. The plan calls for all Grade 7 students moving to George Elliot Secondary School, but there are now suggestions that other options will be considered. “We’ve been trying to get the parents’ voice heard and they are hearing our voice,” said Ryan Murdain, spokesperson for Lake Country’s parents advisory councils. The school district

“I’m really interested in the feedback.” — Deb Butler

has stated Grade 7 students must go to GESS to address overcrowding at the elementary level in September 2013. However, officials stated Thursday that Grade 7 students may be able to remain in their schools or bus routes and catchment areas may change to minimize overcrowding. “Our next step is to make a presentation to the board in November,” said Patty Wellborn, Oyama

Traditional School PAC chairperson. A primary concern for parents has been Grade 7 students being around senior grades at GESS. “We still feel the school does not have a solid plan on how to deal with them and how day-to-day lessons or movement of students would work,” she said. The school district’s ultimate goal is constructing a middle school but that may not occur until 2017.

And that means the PACs are unwilling to consider any option other than their children remaining in their elementary schools or portables being added to Davidson Road Elementary. “We will hold out until we get a middle school,” said Murdain. District officials say there was mixed reaction about the facility plan. “Some parents are in favour of it and some are concerned about the interim plan,” said trustee Deb Butler of moving Grade 7 students to GESS. Administration will present all of the input to the board Nov. 20 and Butler hasn’t decided which option she

favours. “I’m really interested in the feedback from parents. I’d like to hear from the majority of them,” she said.

Pedestrian needs considered richard rolke Morning Star Staff

There will be no immediate changes to Old Kamloops Road. Residents had asked for a bike lane, and that will be considered as part of the City of Vernon’s transportation plan next year. “It will show where the shoulder widening on Old Kamloops Road will fit into priorities,” said Rob Dickinson, engineering manager. When a bike lane could be installed will depend on other projects in Vernon and budgets. Residents have expressed concern that traffic on the road travels at a high rate of speed and the lack of a shoulder puts pedestrians at risk. Accessibility promoted The City of Vernon may help some teens with increasing their life skills. Council is considering a request to provide 28 free bus passes to special needs students at Vernon Secondary School. “We could learn to confidently travel around Vernon,” said student Derick Morgan. The passes would help the students get to jobs or volunteer activities. “We are trying to integrate them into society,” said teacher Curt Russo of the need to ensure students are ready to leave school.

Talbot said the change would make it impossible for people to see their MP and asked the board members to support a strongly worded letter protesting the changes. “This makes no sense, all these realignments,” Talbot said, frustration evident. “They want to install 30 new MPs. How much is that going to cost?

BCFGA president faces pressure judie steeves Black Press

A long-time orchardist has called for the removal of B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association president Kirpal Boparai. Glenn Cross put a resolution to members of the Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-operative at its annual general meeting Tuesday that the co-op packinghouse immediately stop funding the BCFGA until the executive removes Boparai from the board. It was approved and the resolution will go to the co-op board for its consideration. But co-op president Rob Dawson says it’s not up to the co-op to interfere in BCFGA business.

Happy Halloween

s I’ve stated before at this time of year I’m not that good at Halloween. It’s more the dressing up in costume that I’m not good at as I always give it a halfhearted attempt and end up going as a hockey player or something like that. I’ve regaled you before about winning the most confusing costume at a Halloween party once, which was a politically correct way of saying worst. It didn’t help that I left half the costume in Glenn Mitchell the car due to being shy or chicken or something to that effect. My kids are getting too old to worry about what they’re going to go as this year and I don’t have any Halloween parties to go to, being the old, boring person that I am, so I’m kind of off the hook. I mean I guess I could dress up for the kids that come to the door Wednesday night but that takes a bit of effort on my part, which I’ve already stated doesn’t come easily for me even when I have a real party to go to, soooo..... ....but it’s not for a lack of ideas on my part. I mean I could go as NHL president Gary Bettman and proclaim “unfortunately there won’t be any hockey in November.” That’s pretty scary. Although that ‘trick’ might not go over too well with any hockey fans that come to the door. And if they aren’t they might not recognize who I was trying to be and just think I was dressing up in a suit and tie for the heck of it. I could dress up as a hockey player and

MITCHELL’S MUSINGS

hang a ‘locked out’ sign around my neck or ‘gone to Russia’ sign but again that might be confusing to the non-hockey fan. And there’s nothing worse than trying to explain what you’re dressed up as, talk about lost in translation. I could go as Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney but again I don’t know if the kids would recognize me and I don’t know if I could pull off a President Barack Obama costume. Even keeping it closer to home in politics likely wouldn’t work as a Stephen Harper mask might not cut it with the kids either as he’s not that recognizable either. One of my kids is into that Walking Dead show on TV, so I could go as a zombie but I’ve been accused of sleepwalking through life like one before so that might be a little too close to home for comfort. Besides, I like my ketchup on my fries, not my thighs. I could also go as a smart meter or an oil pipeline, both of which seems to scare a considerable number of people. But, again, tons of effort required and the response would again likely be quizzical looks. Maybe a land shark, perhaps. But again if I have to explain to the kids about the Saturday Night Live reference from the 70s, all is lost once again. And I haven’t watched it lately to know of any more modern-day characters. It is still on, right? Oh, well. I guess I will just answer the door Wednesday night dressed as a rather harried, rather hairless middle-aged man who’s coping the best he can with all modern life has to throw at him. That, I can pull off. Happy Halloween everyone.

It’s been many months since anyone could state this but it’s undeniable that the B.C. Liberals are currently riding high. Now that this refers solely to the fact that they are holding their convention in the mountain resort of Whistler this weekend, which gives them a geographical advantage over the likely low-lying NDP and Conservatives elsewhere in the province, can only be considered a small item to celebrate. But there are other reasons to feel good about being a B.C. Liberal as well. Like when you are this far down the polls there’s only one way to go, and that’s higher. Also that the other right-leaning party in the province, the Tories, seem more into battling each other than taking on the government or the NDP. And as for the NDP, they will have to come out from under the radar sometime and actually state their plans for the future, if elected. Time is also on the Liberals side as the election isn’t until May, which in political terms is close to an ice age. Christy Clark’s party can also look to Alberta and Ontario where pundits and polls alike had the incumbents declared done like dinner until, well, the actual vote on election day declared otherwise. However, the Liberals are full marks for where they currently stand with many British Columbians, and the way the HST was introduced and then subsequently nixed, the BC Rail fiasco, BC Place and others won’t soon be forgotten. But then the NDP had more than their fair share of scandals while in government too – anyone want to buy a fast ferry or two? – so time will tell. And as of this weekend anyway, the Liberals are moving on up.

Changes are needed

an you imagine being told that you have only $375 per month with which you need to find shelter in Vernon while the average cost of a one-bedroom unit in B.C., outside of Vancouver, is $768? Can you also imagine doing this when your mind is not functioning correctly and you need medication to help your mind just to make it through the day? This is just the beginning plight of people who have mental illness and live as a person with disabilities (PWD). People who are mentally ill and living in B.C. on PWD receive $906.42 per month. This is $10,872 per year and is well below the poverty line. This is also significantly below the lowincome cut-offs (LICO) established by Statistics Canada. But do we speak up? Most of us are not able to due to the stigma associated with mental illness. Many are afraid to lose what we have, even though financially we cannot afford to feed ourselves. We are not able to eat a healthy diet according to the Canada Food Guide. The money that is allotted to us by the PWD designation for food is being spent on shelter. Matters get worse yet because every year, as there are increases in rent from landlords, there is no cost of living

increase on PWD. That means even more money allocated to food goes to shelter. The Disabilities Without Poverty Network is advocating for persons on PWD to receive $1,200 per month. This brings the person up to the poverty line and is what a senior on Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement receives. There has been a change to what a person on PWD can earn separate from receiving support. Previously, a single person could earn $500 per month and now it has been changed to $800 per month. This is like a slap in the face for persons on PWD. If a person were well enough to work, why would they be on a disability? There is enough stigma and coping with having a mental illness,

independent living Independent Living is about choice, flexibility and control for people with various disabilities. Independent Living Vernon (ILV) is a resource centre for people with various disabilities. Its mission is to provide information about community resources and government programs. For example, ILV provides information to people with various disabilities about the disability tax credit, which is a non-refundable tax credit. Information and the application form can be accessed though the Canada Revenue Agency at www.cra-arc.gc.ca. The application requires it to be completed by a physician. ILV has hard copies available in our office for free. ILV also has volunteers that come in once a month, throughout the year, to prepare tax returns for people who are on

without the great stress of making it to the next disability cheque or to even have a healthy meal. Thankfully to the groups involved with Disabilities Without Poverty Network, we have more voices of advocacy. sBut I want to do more as a person on PWD. I want to bring these issues to our MLA to be issues for the upcoming election. I am just one person but I believe that by breaking the silence that help can be obtained. The Disabilities without Poverty Network has three recommendations to make changes for persons on PWD. These are: • Increase the PWD benefit to $1,200 per month. • Index the PWD benefit. This will ensure that the PWD benefit keeps pace with the rising cost of

low-income. Sometimes, the tax return from applying for this credit can be a significant amount of money for people with disabilities. For example, ILV has assisted people who have received $8,000 to $20,000. There are a number of businesses ILV has seen in Vernon who advertise they can help people to apply for the tax credit or completing any past tax returns. For this service, they can charge between 20 to 33 per cent of the total the person gets back from the government. On a $9,000 return that can be up to a $3,000 fee. For free information on the disability tax credit or other resources, contact ILV at 250-545-9292 or www.ilvernon.ca laura Hockman, ilv executive director

living and that inflation does not erode the ability of PWD recipients to meet their basic needs. • Establish a shelter assistance program for people with disabilities. They propose the introduction of a rental assistance program for people with disabilities similar to the Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters and Rental Assistance Program. Being mentally ill or disabled in any way on PWD should not have to be a life sentence of poverty. In today's world, one in five people will be diagnosed with a mental illness. We who have been diagnosed with a mental illness, do not have to live by past stigmas and live silently in pain. We in Canada can have hope for a better and more secure life. I am thankful that I live in Canada so I can have a voice. For more information about the Disabilities without Poverty Network go to www.bccpd.bc.ca/ docs/overdueincreasepwd.pdf. Various city councils in B.C. have been supporting the recommendation to increase PWD to $1,200 per month by writing Christy Clark, our premier. Our own city council in Vernon is one of them. To help me have a voice in the upcoming election and petition Chirsty Clark to change PWD, please e-mail me at elishevatalia@gmail.com. elisheva Benjamin

tHank you On June 30, I misplaced my wallet and my mind was running rampant on its whereabouts. I replaced everything, ie. credit cards, etc. Not an expensive venture but a time-consuming one. I ran through, in my mind, what was in my wallet that I'd really miss. On Aug. 30, the recycling plant called. I thought whoever had found it (or stolen it) had taken the money and contents and dumped the wallet. As my wallet travelled down the conveyor belt, it was spotted by a young student on her last day of work at the plant. She turned it in to the office and everything was there and intact. I finally figured out exactly how it got there. A great story. Thank you so much. linda thorne

kal lake lookout Recently, cars were doing doughnuts in the Kalamalka Lake lookout parking lot. When the RCMP were called, we were told officers would not respond. This is not the first time calls to the RCMP went unanswered. People blast their stereos in the middle of the night, break bottles and destroy what’s there now. Before we spend more of taxpayers' hard-earned dollars to fix up this location, we should look at ways to protect the infrastructure in place now. E. Mackenzie

opening Jan. 2. But that also means the public works department will be closed. Therefore if crews are needed to plow snow, they will be paid double time. “That’s 13 days, in the middle of winter and if there’s a snow storm we’d have to pay overtime,” said Coun. Maria Besso. Coun. Pat Cochrane adds: “That doesn’t seem fair to the taxpayer.” If the office remained open, staff would only be paid double time for statutory holidays and any extra hours worked. Therefore the district is looking into what, if any, cost savings there might be to keep the office open, or possibly just the public works department, over Christmas break. Effectively, there are four days in between the weekends and stat holidays that are being looked at. Library taxing It’s becoming quite taxing to operate the local library, says one Coldstream councillor. The Okanagan Regional Library has come up with a 3.35 per cent tax increase for 2012 (worth approximately $538,000). In this digital age, Coun. Peter McClean questions

the need for increases at the library. “The library is the one entity that year, after year, after year they bring up and get an increase,” said McClean. “It’s always there, there’s always an increase, while the rest of us are containing it.” Coun. Maria Besso, ORL board member, defends the library’s budget. “Part of the increase includes the growth of the region because it’s quite a large region,” said Besso of the 370,000 residents served between Osoyoos to Golden (29 branches) – the third largest in the province. “While the absolute dollar figures might be up we’ve also increased the number of households that are being taxed and served.” Still, McClean questions how many people actually use the library. “What’s the actual usage? What’s that increase giving us?” Besso points out that Vernon has some of the highest usage. “We actually have the highest circulation.” Mission pockets politician’s pay Coldstream politicians are supporting the Upper Room Mission straight out of their own expenses. The district is providing the mission with $1,116, which will come from council expenses. The funds are Coldstream’s portion of a $9,200 grant through the Regional District of North Okanagan. That is the amount of a fee the Upper Room Mission wants waived for a water main upgrade to its facility, which provides meals and programs to people in need. Individual jurisdictions are being asked to provide funds because RDNO does not have the ability to provide grants.

Armstrong scales back office hours ROGER KNOX

“It makes it easier if everyone works the same time.”

Morning Star Staff

Armstrong City Hall is closing up shop earlier. Council voted unanimously to close the office at 4:30 p.m. instead of 5 p.m. effective Nov. 1. The move comes as the city continues to phase out a “flex-day” program. “Years ago the flex day system was put in to extend city hall working hours by a half-hour each day,” said administrator Patti Ferguson. “Right now only one exempt position and one utilizing staff are using it so, as we hire new people, we’ve been phasing it out.” The extra hours basically meant that city employees would work nine days out of a 10-day period. “Union staff can only work seven hours a day so we had to stagger staff and we only had two people,” said Ferguson. “It makes it easier if

everyone works the same time.” City hall will continue to open at 8:30 and will be open over the lunch hour. Road closure Council agreed to a request from the Downtown Light Up and Parade committee to close Pleasant Valley Boulevard on both sides of the railway tracks from 4 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 29. “This will allow for safe access by participants to various businesses, concessions and the Spirit Square which will be the main staging area for the event,” said Coun. Ron (Sully) O’Sullivan. Pleasant Valley Road

from the liquor store to Mill Street will also be closed in order to have Santa Claus arrive safely at the staging area. Centennial recognition Worthy citizens will get special recognition during Armstrong’s centennial in 2013. “Staff came up with an excellent idea to recognize somebody each month with a special honour,” said Coun. Paul Britton. Every second meeting each month, somebody from the city’s business, academic, athletic, social, cultural and political communities will be recognized for the outstanding work they do.

in her letter. Baldwin questions the regional district’s communication process with residents. “Clearly the regional director and RDCO staff knew, or ought to have known, well in advance these increases would be a huge burden on affected taxpayers,” she said. Edgson insists the process was completely open and public information meetings were held. “Nobody is happy about the rates but we have to keep in mind that people had been complaining that the water system needs upgrading. I warned people it was going to cost quite a bit,” he said. “The systems are old and getting to the point where they need to be maintained and upgraded. There wasn’t a plan in place.” While the water rates bylaw won’t be reversed, Edgson says RDCO may look at how user fees are implemented. “We will have to continue to look at what we’re doing,” he said.

North Westside residents are being told it’s too late to change water rates. The Regional District of Central Okanagan board has received a 300-name petition opposing water rates, which were adopted in March. “We are already spending the money,” said director Jim Edgson, who questions why the petition is just coming forward now. RDCO has implemented both a consumption rate, a user fee and an asset renewal fee for the Killiney Beach, Westshore and Upper Fintry/Shalal Road/Valley of the Sun utilities. That has led to a 190 per cent increase to fees. “Where was the impetus to keep these taxes at a reasonable rate?” said Diane Baldwin, with the North Westside Ratepayer Association, in a letter to Bill Bennett, B.C.’s community development minister. “Ratepayers remain outraged and consider this an unnecessary tax grab.” The association is asking Bennett to look into the method for resolving bylaw disputes, to encourage RDCO to meet with residents and negotiate water rates and to review RDCO’s tax policies and administrative fees. “Review why parcel taxes, called asset renewal fees, were introduced on every lot, with or without residents, absent a parcel tax bylaw,” said Baldwin

A boat that sank off a dock in Kalamalka Lake Oct. 17 hasn’t impacted the local drinking water source. Despite some concerns about gas leaking into the lake, water quality monitoring shows no impacts. “Water quality is monitored online and regular weekly grab samples are taken at the intake and at the outflow of the Mission Hill treatment plant,” said Renee Clark, water quality manager. “We did not see any changes to the water quality.” The motorboat reportedly sunk into the lake Oct. 17 but was raised the following morning by the owner. “The boat had a leak and eventually sunk – still connected to the dock,” said Clark. “To my knowledge the incident was dealt with quickly and effectively.”

With Vernon’s outdoor market closing for the season Monday, a new market is moving indoors for the winter. The Vernon Indoor Winter Market gets underway Nov. 7, and it runs every Wednesday from 2 to 6 p.m. in the Wesbild Centre grand room. “We have 30 vendors on board as of right now - and two more to confirm,” said Lynn Piva, organizer of the market which has the slogan ‘The very best of the best.’ “The response of vendors to this market has just been overwhelming.” The market will include everything from fruits, veggies, eggs and juices to sauces, preserves, baked goods and local meat. But there will also be lotions and potions, knitted creations, jewelry, bird feeders, recycled and reclaimed wear, and much more. “Come on out and support your market,” said Piva. For more information, vendors can call Lynn Piva at 250-5734549 or e-mail s.star@

the B.C. Seniors Games were launched. “The very first Games were held here in 1988,” said Jim Cade, a B.C. Seniors Games d i re c tor, during a presentation to Vernon city council Monday. As part of the anniversary festivi— Jim ties, all previous host communities are being presented with a four-foot-bysix-foot banner. The B.C. Seniors Games are for anyone 55 and older, and there are up to 30 different events that can occur. “The whole idea is to keep people active,” said Cade. “People don’t have to be athletic. There are

things like card games.” Kamloops will host the Seniors Games next year and Langley will take on the duties in 2014. Cade is encouraging Vernon to pursue a bid for future years. “ Ve r n o n has always been well Cade r e p r e s e n t ed in the Games,” he said. “You get a lot of people into the community and it’s a very good thing.” However, a lack of facilities could possibly present a challenge for Vernon. “We need a place with a good, 400-metre (running) track,” said Cade.

“The whole idea is to keep people active.”

News Armstrong adopts unanticipated projects RogeR Knox Morning Star Staff

Some new capital projects are in the works for the City of Armstrong. Council gave three readings to a bylaw that will amend the 2012-16 financial plan. “After the budget gets approved in the spring, there are always things that come up that weren’t approved but we proceed with them,” said Coun. John Trainor. Chief financial officer Terry Martens says there are six changes that affect the 2012 and 2013 budgets, although

“There are always things that come up.” — John Trainor

some of the amendments were already approved by council this year. A watermain replacement in the 3900 block of Wood Avenue ($12,900 budget impact for 2012) and an unfunded portion of an Armstrong Spallumcheen Parks and Recreation federal grant application

($3,500) were approved in August. Money for the watermain would come from the city’s water reserve, while the unfunded portion of the parks and rec grant would come from that function’s reserve. Three other projects for 2012 and one for 2013 bring the budget impact total to $97,000. These projects have

not been confirmed by council. Funding for the centennial coordinator is $6,300 for both 2012 and 2013 (no net impact to budget). B.C. Hydro will chip in $7,500 towards planting of trees for its Tree Canada Project. Pre-engineering for a watermain replacement in the 2000 block of Heather Avenue would cost $2,500 and come from the water reserve. And there would be an $58,000 budget increase to the Heaton Place operating expenses. That money would come from rental rev-

enue, reduction of snow hauling, salary reduction and cancelling a Hydro study.

Opportunities in aircraft are on the rise Morning Star Staff

Students with an interest in aviation have a new opportunity to turn their passion into a profession. Okanagan College is offering an information session on two of its upcoming programs - aircraft maintenance engineer structures and maintenance (AME-S and AME-M) - Tuesday from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Kelowna Aerospace campus. Both AME programs will begin new intakes in February and both combine classroom training with hands-on experience that prepares students for careers in the growing aviation industry. Prospective students can expect to find detailed program information as well as

hear about potential job opportunities in the field of aviation. Instructors will also be on site to answer questions about the programs. One of the program’s partners and a local employer, Kelowna Flightcraft, will open its doors to offer prospective students a tour of its operations. “The job market outlook seems very positive at this time,” said Murray Palmer, AME instructor. “More than half of the class of 16 students are being recruited for positions locally and there is a considerable amount of interest being shown to students who are wanting to relocate to other areas of the province.” The information session gets underway at the aerospace campus

at 5655 Airport Way in Kelowna. For more information, contact

250-503-2670 or email rkjarsgaard@okanagan. bc.ca.

mike roberts of the Vernon Vipers (left) protects the puck against Salmon arm Silverbacks’ defenceman Sean Flanagan in b.C. Hockey League action Friday night at Wesbild Centre. the Silverbacks pulled off their third straight overtime decision against Vernon, winning 2-1. from behind by Salmon Arm forward Alex Gillies on Viper d-man Michael Statchuk into the sidewall at 2:44. Gillies, a Vernon product not normally known for his aggressive play, earned a two-game suspension for the incident. Statchuk needed help off the ice, but returned to action later. Brandon Mistal (3rd) responded for the ‘Backs in the second frame, tucking the rebound off a Shane Hanna point blast under a sprawling Smith at the nine-minute mark. Vernon’s Harlan Orr was a call-up from the Junior B North Okanagan Knights the last time Salmon Arm grounded Vernon in OT. He was all the more excited for a win in his hometown now that he

is full-time with the ‘Backs. “It’s pretty cool,” smiled Orr, who racked up 14 points in just six games with North Okanagan. “I had some people out watching me today and obviously our team needed the win because we were on a slide there for a bit. It feels really good for the whole team.” SilverBack head coach Scott Robinson has Orr playing in a variety of roles, including some time on the man advantage. “I’m happy to get getting lots of time on the powerplay, and in important situations,” said Orr. “It’s good to know they have faith in me and hopefully I can start bagging some more goals.” Added Robinson: “Harlan, right from day one, has competed for us.

WEEKLY

He’s got an offensive flair that not all kids have, and that’s going to come out later on. He’s a top-six guy in the future for us.” Regarding the win, Robinson added: “Anybody could have won that, but our goalie made some great saves, especially in overtime. “We did a lot of good things systems-wise, and we were a lot more committed to playing our style.” Vernon cranked up the intensity in the final 10 minutes, but couldn’t solve Clark. Defenceman Marc Hetnik said it was a missed opportunity against another struggling team. “Our defence did a pretty good job of letting in only one goal, but we’ve got to score more than one goal a game, especially against a team like that who isn’t doing too well.”

The Vernon Valley Wood Venom opened Harvest Cup Atom Development Hockey Tournament with a 3-1 win over the Chilliwack Bruins Friday at Priest Valley Arena. The game featured great defensive efforts at both ends with two powerful offences going head to head. Vernon goals came from Cameron Moger, with a pair, and Coletyn Boyarski. Assists went to Tysen Fairweather (2) and Jacob Boden. This was the Venom’s first character win were they dug deep and played like a team. Kobe Grant guarded the net with some sensational saves to keep the team moving forward. The Venom faced the Burnaby Bulldogs and Abbotsford Hawks Saturday. In other Harvest Cup action, Ben King was a one-man show with four goals as the Vernon H&L Glass Wolfpack drew Abbotsford 4-4 at Civic. Trevor Kennedy drew an assist in support of netminder Cayden Hamming. Lucas Zubrod and Porter Trevelyan turned in solid two-way performances. The Pack faced the Semiahmoo Ravens Saturday. Tylor McMillan’s shot bounced in off a d-man with 49 seconds left as the Talon Benefits Hawks clipped the Vernon Seed Orchard Thunderhawks 6-5 in Midget Super League play Friday night at Civic Arena. Landon Munk and Adam Fenske each scored twice for the Hawks, who trailed 2-0 after 20 minutes. Lucas Mitchell had the other Hawks’ snipe. Fenske had two helpers in support of Bryce Dyck. Brennan Martin (2+2), Steven Goebel, Soloman Ivanoff and Aaron Kerryluke replied for the Ducks, who had Clayton Coles in net.

On the bright side, the Vernon Vipers have points in each of their four encounters with the Salmon Arm SilverBacks. The reality is the last three have been overtime losses, including Friday night’s 2-1 decision in double-OT at Wesbild Centre. The 3-7-0-5 Snakes have dropped a league-high five games in extra time, which has them tied with the Gorillas (5-9-0-1) for last place in the B.C. Hockey League’s Interior Division. They hosted the 10-3-1-1 Chilliwack Chiefs Saturday night. “Right now, unfortunately, that’s how the ball is rolling for us,” said Vipers’ assistant coach Jason Read. “It’s hard to break that cycle, but you’ve just got to stick with it, and stick together. “It’s bound to come out, it’s a question of when.” SilverBacks’ forward Carter Lukenda, collecting his third goal of the season, provided winner in front of 1,800 fans at 4:23. With the play wide open at 3-on-3, Lukenda buried the rebound off a goalmouth scramble in front of third star netminder Austin Smith (31 saves). Shortly before, Salmon Arm tender Adam Clark (second star, 37 saves) made a pair of timely stops, denying Mitch Van Teeling on a backhand, and Pearce Eviston on a wraparound. Clark also stuffed Viper rookie Logan Mick twice on backhand attempts in regulation, and Adam Tambellini on a breakaway feed from Mick. For a change, it wasn’t the Vipers’ special teams that let them down Friday night. The powerplay accounted for their lone goal, and their penalty kill withstood four SilverBack man advantages. Tambellini (7th goal) snapped a quick shot from the high slot after a quick pass from Eviston at the sidewall six minutes into the first period. The man advantage was a major, the result of a dangerous hit

Holland heads Hall inductees

en Holland won’t get credit from the goaltending union, but he actually started making himself look big back in Senior Pups at Vernon Civic Arena. I would be shooting a ball around in the corner of the rink with buddies (back when kids were allowed to have harmless fun in arenas) waiting for my ice time. I would always stop to watch Holland in net making save after save on his knees. His goalie stick was flat on the ice, and since very few Kevin Mitchell kids could raise the puck, Ken looked like the next Roger Crozier. Holland progressed to net detective status with the Vernon Vikings of the BCJHL and on to the Medicine Hat Tigers of the WHL. His story has been well documented on these sports pages. How he was 24 hours away from coming home to an Electrolux vacuum sales job, his dear mom Lee had lined up, when he made the Tigers’ roster a few months before his 19th birthday. Holland patrolled the crease for two years with the Tigers and spent eight years in the minors with teams like the Binghamton Dusters, Springfield Indians and Adirondack Red Wings. He got in one game with the NHL Hartford Whalers in the 1980-81 season. Let in seven goals in 60 minutes.

allowed 10 goals. His NHL career GAA is 4.11 and his save percentage is .811 so he leaves Vernon summer resident Chris Osgood in charge of the Red Wings’ goaltenders. I once wrote in this space: “Holland is a numbers whiz and former talent-hound, he has deftly been the Detroit pit boss at the entry draft the past 12 summers.” Holland spent just 20 nights a winter at his Medicine Hat home as he scouted hockey games from Selkirk to Prince George for more than a decade, eventually taking over as director of scouting for seven years, three as assistant GM as well. In July, 1997, he was promoted to his current position of GM, executive vice-president and alternate governor.

Lakers rule the Zone Morning Star Staff

With lights, the Kalamalka Lakers and Seaton Sonics may have played until midnight Thursday. Instead, they went to a shootout, with the sun quickly fading, and the Lakers stopped the Sonics 4-2 (0-0) in the North Zone Senior AA Boys Soccer Championship final at Kal. Both teams advance to the Okanagan Valley playdowns starting Friday at Marshall Field. The schedule will be announced Monday. The Lakers and Sonics battled hard in a scoreless regulation and five-minute overtime. Alex Kreutz, Matt Kreutz, Brett Jewell and Lucas Ross scored goals for Kal in the shootout. Alex Baxter, a first-year soccer player, showed great skill in the Seaton net, getting his hands on three of the four goals. Tom Pool and Finley McPhie supplied the Seaton shootout tallies past standout Kal keeper Sean Bradbury. “It was a great game today,” said Laker head coach Cari Dyck. “We were really short on the bench with only four subs, but the boys really stepped it up and hung in when really tired. Steven Goebel was our man of the match. He played all game and worked tirelessly, creating turnovers and controlling the midfield.” Said Seaton coach Sarah Kwantes: “Tonight’s game was intense. The Sonics played a great game, as they battled Kal for first place in the North Zone playoffs. The boys are really looking forward to the Valley Championships.”

Run up and down the court, make a few calls and earn some extra cash while getting a good workout. It’s all part of being a referee in Vernon basketball circles. New officials are needed in a hurry, says local officials allocator Jim Inglis. “With the number of teams and schools holding tournaments, basketball is at a crisis point with supplying officials and if we somehow manage to get through this season we will be in worse shape next year unless we attract some new and younger people,” said Inglis, a former Fulton Maroons’ coach. Inglis, who referees some high school games says the association is top heavy in older officials and younger refs are being sought. “It takes two to three seasons to get officials up to speed so that they can begin to officiate at top-level junior and senior games. This means we are at the cross roads of not being able to fulfill all requests for officials that schools have.” Inglis said veteran refs did nearly 100 games each last season and have indicated that they will be cutting back since the volume is taking a real physical toll on them. “Some weeks, officials were doing as many as 14 games, with four and five a day on weekends. This volume of games has a real effect on the quality our people are able to maintain across long back-to-back days.” Referee education sessions will run four straight Tuesday nights (7:00) starting Nov. 6 at Fulton.

District pursues new dog control service wade paterson Black Press

Several residents and protestors frustrated with the Regional District of Central

Okanagan’s dog control service were slightly more optimistic Monday. The regional district board meeting attracted

about 50 residents who were interested in hearing a review of the dog control service. Allan Neilson, a consultant with Neilson-

Welch, told board members the current service aims to increase the safety and protection of the public from the negative impacts caused by dogs. He suggested the improved service should feature more goals alongside public safety, including a focus to increase dog licenses sold each year, increase levels of cost recovery, develop a stronger relationship with the dog owner community and develop a common philosophy among staff regarding dog control. “We need to, in my view, have a very clear statement that dogs are part of this community,” said Neilson. “Dogs have intrinsic value in the community, dogs have the potential to add value to the families that they’re part of, to the neighbourhoods

for many was how the regional district will deal with aggressive dogs. The report recommends retaining two tiers of dog aggression: Dangerous dogs and aggressive dogs, and adopting a three-strike policy to deal with repeat offender aggressive dogs. Volunteers are also key to the success of the dog control service, said Neilson. Their jobs would include assisting with the care of impounded dogs, the development of educational programs and working as dog service ambassadors to engage and educate dog owners in public parks. Peter and Jennifer Madsen sat in the front row of the meeting Monday. The Madsens own Shadow, an Alaskan malamute that was impounded at the regional district’s dog control kennel for 15 months. Peter said the report was a “step in the right direction.” He added that certain provisions within this report would have prevented he and his wife from going through “15 months of hell.” “We would’ve saved a ton of money and emotional distress and the RDCO would’ve saved a ton of money and bad publicity.” The regional board directed staff to provide it with an implementation plan including opportunity for public comment with the goal of rolling out changes within the next year.

Trail garners support Construction of the Taylor Van Diest Memorial Trail in Armstrong has been given a financial boost. The ArmstrongSpallumcheen Active Communities Committee donated $5,052.10 towards construction. The cash comes from leftover funds from past initiatives that promoted active living in the community. In addition, cash donations from various donors have been received by the City of Armstrong totalling $330 to date. The combined amount of $5,382.10 will help with completion of the trail being built in memory of the Armstrong teenager killed Halloween night 2011. “ The Active C om mu n it i e s Committee is pleased to provide funding towards construction of the Taylor Van Diest Memorial Trail,” said Tara Shantz, committee chairperson. “This trail will promote active living in our community, and will provide a safer passage for walkers between Rosedale Avenue and Pleasant Valley Road.”

The trail is located on the west side of the railroad between Rosedale and Pleasant Valley Road. Building a fence separating the trail from the railway will be completed by the end of the year. The Van Diest family, with the cooperation of Kelowna Pacific Railway and the City of Armstrong, announced the creation of the trail as a permanent memorial to Taylor. The family championed the construction of the trail with the city assuming its mainte-

nance when completed. “We have been very encouraged by the support and generosity of many people to help us get to where we are today with the trail,” said Marie Van Diest, Taylor’s mom. “This donation will aid greatly in paying for the required fencing. We believe the trail will be a wonderful addition to the community and hope everyone will use it often.” The Van Diest family is financing construction of the trail along with donations of cash, materials and services.

Orange Bottle Program assists paramedics

Morning Star Staff

A new program for seniors will make it easier for paramedics in the event of an emergency. The Orange Bottle Program is a project of the Vernon

COLDSTREAM MEADOWS RETIREMENT COMMUNITY has applied to the District of Coldstream to amend the Official Community Plan and zoning bylaw. The purpose of the application is to allow development of additional seniors housing. Public support of our application is a very important part of the approval process. Coldstream Council must hear from every Coldstream resident who supports seniors housing in our community. Therefore we are asking for a minute of your time to let our Council know why you support our application. For more information go to: www.supportseniorshousing.ca

Seniors Branch 6 B.C. Old Age Pensioners Organization (BCOAPO), to help professionals and paramedics assess a patient’s condition if they are called to a residence. When you register for this program, you will receive a bottle and a magnet for your fridge. Inside the bottle is a list of all of your prescription medications. The responsibility

for updating of prescriptions is with the name on the recorded sheet. Vernon Seniors is only providing the program for those who request the orange bottle and magnet; the organization and its directors are not responsible for the maintenance of the records kept in the bottle. Inside the bottle, place a list of medications ready to send with paramedics. Include any

allergies to medications or food and put your name on the list. It’s also not a bad idea to add your birthday and keep a photocopy of the list in your wallet or purse for emergencies. If you can, include a list of your medical problems, especially those that can lead to confusion or unconsciousness like diabetes and seizures. Although the bottle and magnet are free, donations towards the

cost are more than welcome. Vernon Seniors Branch 6 OAPO meets the third Tuesday of every month starting at 1:30 p.m. at the Schubert Centre. All are invited to join the group and spread the word to other seniors to help them in maintaining their health and mobility. Membership to the organization is $10 per year.

Trick-or-eat helps food bank Morning Star Staff

College students may be a little old to be going door-to-door on Halloween, but these trick-ortreaters aren’t looking for candy. Okanagan College SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) members are on a mission to can hunger as they collect non-perishable food items Wednesday from 4 to 7:30 p.m. SIFE students will be conducting their third annual Trick-or-Eat campaign in the areas of Foothills, East Hill, VSS, Wal-Mart and Bella Vista to collect donations for the Salvation Army food bank and raise awareness on what we can do to help find a solution to lasting hunger relief. As part of SIFE’s Let’s Can Hunger Challenge, sponsored by Campbell’s Soup Company, the project is designed to help raise awareness about the hunger issue the world is facing, especially in local communities and to empower those in need to defeat the cycle of hunger. Let’s Can Hunger is about increasing awareness and collecting donations to give to the food bank so

Realtors collect warm clothing Morning Star Staff

The winter chill is starting to settle on the North Okanagan and a local business wants to ensure everyone stays warm. Sutton GroupLakefront Realty is gearing up for its second annual Warm and Fuzzy Shelter Collection Nov. 5 to 9. “Last year, we were able to collect half a cube van loaded with coats, blankets, mittens, hats, scarves and long johns for adults and children,” said Beth Marks, with Sutton. “We delivered these items to Howard House and the Gateway Shelter for distribution in the impending cold weather.” From Nov. 5 to 9, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. residents can drop off donations of warm clothing at the Sutton office at 2749 30th St. (across from Journey Inn). On Nov. 8, Sutton’s realtors and staff will be the parking lot from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. for a drive-thru collection. “You don’t even have to leave your car. We’ll

grab your donations and load them into a waiting van,” said Marks. “Please comb through your closets and help Sutton help our great community.”

they can continue to supply people in need in our community with nourishment they need to survive. Last year 614 non-perishable items were raised for the local food bank and the goal is to raise even more this year. “It was a great way for our team to give back to our community,” said Brittney Weatherill (SIFE student) following last year’s trick-or-eat. Anyone who is not in the area’s being visited but who are wishing to participate can contact Monika Jassi at monikajassi363@gmail.com. SIFE Okanagan is a non-profit, student organization operated out of the Okanagan College campuses in Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, and Salmon Arm. The SIFE program encourages students to address relevant economic, social and environmental issues by empowering others to improve their quality of life and standard of living. Teams do this by implementing socially responsible outreach projects that have a notable impact on a specific need and target audience in their community.

Cathi Litzenberger Morning Star Columnist

Halloween is fast approaching and with it comes bonfires, jack-o’-lanterns, ghosts, goblins, witches and other supernatural beings. Trick or treating didn’t start in Canada until after the Second World War and it has changed even since I was a kid. People trusted their neighbours back then; it was a time of homemade popcorn, popcorn balls, cookies, fudge, penny bubble gums, chicklets, suckers, molasses style Halloween candy in the orange wrappers, candied and regular apples, peanuts, and if we were really lucky we’d find a rare tiny chocolate bar or wagon wheel when we dumped out our bag of loot. We were the first generation to carry a UNICEF box, collecting pennies for children in poor countries. We were trusted to head out with our friends and no adult which gave us the opportunity to play a few “tricks” before ending up at the fair grounds where the firemen always had a gigantic bon fire, free hot chocolate, and fire works. Irish and Scottish immigrants brought this Festival of the Dead, also called All Hallows Eve, to North America back in the 19th century and although the word Halloween is Christian, the festival comes from Pagan roots where the festival had a relevance to a belief that on this day the veils between the living and the dead were very thin, allowing spirits to roam freely. This Halloween you might like to try one of this week’s recipes for feeding the kids or the entire family. Oreo Spider Web Cookie Pizza 25 Halloween Oreo Cookies, divided 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted 1 ounce semi-sweet baking chocolate 2 cups thawed frozen whipped topping 1 (3.4 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding mix 1 cup cold milk 3 pieces black string licorice (10 inch), cut into 1-1/4-inch pieces 6 small round candies 1 tablespoon ready-to-spread frosting 2 tablespoons Halloween sprinkles Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Crush 22 cookies to form fine crumbs; mix with butter. Press onto bottom of 12-inch pizza pan sprayed with cooking spray. Bake 4 minutes; cool. Meanwhile, microwave semi-sweet chocolate and 1/2 cup whipped topping in microwaveable bowl on high 30 to 40 seconds or until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well-blended, stirring after 30 seconds. Cool slightly.

Caramel apples are a classic Halloween treat. Beat pudding mix and milk in medium bowl with whisk 2 minutes (pudding will be thick). Stir in remaining whipped topping; spread onto crust to within 1/2 inch of edge. Spoon chocolate mixture into resealable plastic bag; snip off small piece from one bottom corner of bag. Use to drizzle chocolate mixture in spiral motion over pizza. Gently drag toothpick through lines to resemble spider’s web. Refrigerate 1 hour. Meanwhile, decorate remaining cookies with licorice pieces and candies, using frosting to secure pieces to cookies. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Eye Ball Tacos 1 pound ground beef 1 package (10-3/4 ounces) taco dinner kit Shredded lettuce Chopped tomatoes Sour cream Sliced, pitted black olives Cheddar cheese, grated Mix meat and seasoning mix. Shape into 36 1-inch balls; place in a 13x9 baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through. Fill each of 12 taco shells with one meatball, taco sauce, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. Top with 2 additional meatballs dipped in sour cream. Garnish with olives to create the eyes. Kids love them! Jack-o’-Lantern Pizza 1 pound lean ground beef 1 cup Old El Paso® salsa (any variety) 3/4 cup Green Giant® Valley Fresh

photos submitted

Whip up a Jack-o’-Lantern Pizza before the kids make their trick-or-treating rounds on Halloween. Steamers™ Niblets® frozen corn 1/4 cup water 2 cups Original Bisquick® mix 1/3 cup very hot water 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese (8 ounces) Toppings, such as orange and green bell pepper strips, sliced ripe olives and cherry tomato wedges, if desired Move oven rack to lowest position. Heat oven to 450 F. Grease 12-inch pizza pan. Cook beef in 10-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until brown; drain. Stir in salsa, corn and 1/4 cup water. Heat to boiling; remove from heat. Mix Bisquick, 1/3 cup hot water and the oil until soft dough forms; beat vigorously 20 strokes. Let stand 5 minutes. Press dough in pizza pan, using fingers dipped in Bisquick; pinch edge to form 1/2-inch rim. Spread beef mixture over dough. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 11 to 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted. Arrange toppings on pizza to form jacko’-lanterns. Note: Pizza sauce can be used in place of the salsa if desired.

Caramel Apples 8 apples, any variety 1 cup chopped peanuts or other nut of your choice 1 cup heavy cream, divided 3/4 cup light corn syrup 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Wash and completely dry the apples. Insert a stick into the stem end of each. Line a 9-by-9-inch or 7-by-11-inch baking pan with foil. Place the chopped nuts into the lined pan. Fit a heavy-bottomed saucepan with a candy thermometer. Over high heat, cook 3/4 cup of the cream, the corn syrup, butter, and sugar to 246 degrees F (firm ball); at this point the syrup will be golden. Remove from the heat and carefully swirl in the remaining 1/4 cup of cream and the vanilla. Use caution; this is very hot and it may splatter. While the caramel is hot, dip and turn the apples into the caramel to coat and let the excess drip off. Dip the bottoms into the chopped nuts. Arrange the apples on a nonstick or waxed paper-lined cookie sheet and let cool.

o you’ve had a hysterectomy. What now? The good news is that hysterectomy is a permanent solution for the constant bleeding and/or pelvic pain you’ve been suffering. The bad news is that these are often replaced by new symptoms such as insomnia, hot flashes, night sweats, low libido, memory loss and depression; all indicators of hormonal imbalance.

Taking care after a hysterectomy Instant Menopause If you’ve had a complete hysterectomy (removal of the uterus, ovaries and tubes), it doesn’t matter how old you are, you’ll be thrown into menopause. With your ovaries gone, you can’t make any hormones (except for small amounts in the adrenal glands). Your hormones drop dramatically with no chance for gradual adjustment. Symptoms

can be sudden, severe and debilitating. Your Ovaries are Affected A prevailing belief is that after a partial hysterectomy (removal of the uterus only), your ovaries will keep producing optimal levels of hormones until menopause. Gynecologist Dr. C.W. Randolph, M.D., explains that this is not the case: “The ovaries are significantly impacted by partial hysterectomy. When the uterus is removed, the flow of blood to the ovaries lessens, and consequently, the production of hormones is reduced.” Menopause symptoms

can come earlier. Restore your Hormones Following a complete hysterectomy, you will need a brand new supply of sex hormones, ASAP. Estrogen is not enough. Progesterone is mandatory and testosterone may be necessary. No testing is required until you’ve been on hormone therapy for a couple of months. Then it’s time to assess and adjust doses. Hormone imbalance is not as pronounced and does not usually come on as suddenly after a partial hysterectomy. Symptoms can still be significant, however, and bio-identical hormone therapy is needed to restore normal, physiological levels. Testing is undertaken to determine baselines before developing an individual regimen. Compounded, bioidentical hormones are

the therapy of choice with respect to safety and effectiveness. They are exact duplicates of what your body makes naturally. Horse estrogens (Premarin) and Provera, a synthetic progestin (not a progesterone) are not recommended. Diet, lifestyle and stress also need to be addressed for optimal balancing. Take Progesterone with Estrogen Unfortunately, the only hormone most women are prescribed after complete hysterectomy is estrogen. You may have been told that you don’t need progesterone because with no uterus there is no worry about uterine cancer. Dr. John Lee, M.D., a pioneer in progesterone therapy, wrote that, “This is an outdated approach to hormone replacement therapy (1960s). It was assumed that women without a uterus didn’t

need progesterone, but the research hadn’t been done long term to assess the risk of breast cancer and stroke in women who took estrogen alone.” Dr. David Brownstein, M.D., author of four books on hormones, agrees “I believe that the use of unopposed estrogens (estrogen without progesterone) in conventional hormone replacement therapy has been partially to blame for the epidemic rates of breast cancer.” Years of estrogen only therapy may also increase the risk of blood clotting, fluid retention and weight gain. When you take estrogen, you should always take progesterone to counteract the negative effects. Progesterone Protects Safeguarding one organ (your uterus) by opposing the cancer causing properties of estrogen is not the only

role progesterone plays in your body. There are progesterone receptors throughout your entire body. Progesterone is crucial for everything from brain function to bone building. It is good for your heart and blood vessels, and a major protective hormone for the breast. You just got relief with a hysterectomy and now you have a whole new challenge. If you don’t put back the hormones your body is missing, you could be exposing yourself to unnecessary symptoms and increased risk of cancer and future illness. But don’t despair, through careful monitoring and adjustment, optimal hormone replacement can be achieved and you can get back to feeling like yourself again.

The Coldstream Women’s Institute has a long history in the Coldstream Valley. The Charter was received in 1931 and members worked hard to raise money to build the hall on the present site on Kalamalka Lake Road. The land was donated for a nominal fee and the many husbands helped to build the hall. It continues to be owned, managed and maintained by the present members who take great pride in their building. “With its big back yard the hall was a great place to hold our family reunion,” said past-president Yvonne Leduc. “I think it’s one of Coldstream’s gems.” The WI movement began at Stoney

Sunday, October 28, 2012 - The Morning Star B5

Editor: Kristin FronEman ❘ PhonE: 250-550-7923 ❘ E-mail: entertainment@vernonmorningstar.com

A Contender contends with the times Valdy reads between the lines as he gets ready for his annual tour with Gary Fjellgaard Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

“The Maritimes is losing its busses,” announces Valdy. On the phone staring out at one of the seven natural wonders of the world –– the Bay of Fundy’s seemingly endless tide –– Valdy is talking about the news that Acadian Coach Lines, which provides public transportation throughout Atlantic Canada, is shutting down, putting hundreds of people out of work. As a Canadian folk troubadour of the same era as Dylan and Pete Seeger, Valdy has always been attuned to the changing times. Appointed to the Order of Canada in June 2011, Valdy continues to keep his ear to the ground and his eyes on the headlines as he travels to all corners of Canada and beyond. He is also a passionate advocate of reading and literacy. About to head back to the Okanagan, where he’ll meet up with his Contenders’ music partner, fellow western roots artist Gary Fjellgaard, to perform as part of George Ryga Week in B.C., Valdy has a new album out, entitled Read Between the Lines, which advocates literacy. Valdy was first introduced to raising funds for the cause of literacy in 1988 through Peter Gzowski, when he was invited to the late CBC Radio Morningside host’s annual invitational golf tournament. “I like the fact that the money stays in the hood,” said Valdy, who continues to support literacy causes. And although he can read, and does so avidly, Valdy says he has been able to relate to the cause

when it comes to his own field –– reading music. “I took five years of piano as a kid, but then I became a party hound with playing blues

and boogie woogie. I was using my memory to play the notes,” he said. “I realized that musical illiteracy was the same as (word) illiteracy, except we’re talking

WHEN: WHERE: TICKETS:

about a different language... I can now write in both clefs (treble and bass) but I just wasn’t able to play and read the notes as judiciously as I would have liked.” Valdy also applies his regard of the written word in supporting George Ryga Week in B.C., which is proclaimed annually by the B.C. government to recognize the pioneering and socially aware works of late playwright and author, Ryga. Although saddened with the news that Ryga’s Summerland home, run for more than a decade as a not-for-profit artists retreat, is being sold, Valdy says he will continue to support what Ryga stood for. “This is year 12 for us,” said Valdy in regards to the tour with Fjellgaard, which is produced by local arts advocate Ken Smedley. “It’s in honour of George’s memory. He was the father of literature about the downtrodden. There are not many writers who aspire to what he did. As a folk singer, we hold our feet to the fire just as

George did.” Valdy is also attuned to the folk revival movement that is currently happening in music right now, with bands such as Mumford and Sons and The Avett Brothers. He hopes corporate radio starts listening. “I like the fact that it is happening in music right now, and I attribute it to the work done by CBC Radio 3, the Internet and YouTube,” he said. “The new (folk) music is not pushed on contemporary radio, and although it’s not something I would always cross the street for, I am against (corporate radio) trying to squash the individual, making it homogenous and controlled.” Valdy describes the music he makes with Fjellgaard as purely organic, just two old boys sitting around with some flattop guitars, talking about what really matters and their observations on the road travelled, as can be heard on their two Contenders CDs. The men will be sure to play some of those tunes on the upcoming Ryga tour, plus some of Valdy’s new material off Read Between the Lines, and from his vast collection of songs. In turn, Fjellgaard never stops writing songs so he’ll be sure to have some new tunes along with his vast repertoire that spans over 40 years of recording. The Contenders, Valdy and Gary Fjellgaard, start the North Okanagan leg of their tour Friday, Nov. 2 at 8 p.m. in Armstrong’s Zion United Church Hall. Tickets are at the Brown Derby in Armstrong. Call 250-546-8221. They play Lorenzo’s Cafe in Ashton Creek on Nov. 4. Dinner starts at 6 p.m. and the show is at 8 p.m. Reservations can be made by calling 250-838-6700. The boys are in Vernon, at Okanagan College’s Kalamalka campus theatre, Nov. 9 at 8 p.m. Tickets are The BookNook in Vernon. Call 250-558-0668.

Take a seat

ith All Hallow’s Eve yet to appear this week, I think a lot of us have been feeling a little more spooked by the snow line creeping down the hills rather than the usual ghosts and ghouls of the season. Whatever might be giving you the chills as we head into November, you’re pretty much guaranteed to find a show to pique Brian van Wensem your interests. Here are a few suggestions happening within the next few weeks: Today is your last chance to see the Jewels & Arte Functional exhibit and art sale, which is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Marie Fleming Hall at the Performing Arts Centre. This unique art show and sale is presented by the Ashpa Naira Gallery and features The Bones of Tobias by artist Lori Mairs. Admission is free so take a moment to stop by and see this intricate and eclectic display. The Okanagan Science Centre’s famous Haunted House is open tonight, Tuesday and Halloween night. This year’s theme is Drains of Darkness: What Lurks Below? and the science centre has put together a

Centre Point

kids’ version and a very scary version for those who dare to enter. Visit the science centre’s website at www. okscience.ca to find out more. Coming up Nov. 4, the Performing Arts Centre’s 2012/2013 kids’ series starts up when Story Theatre Company takes the stage for Aladdin. Through puppetry, acting and storytelling, Aladdin goes on a secret voyage to recover the lamp and find his missing father in this imaginative adventure. There are two performances to choose from starting at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. and tickets are on sale now through the Ticket Seller at 549-SHOW (7469). Affordable kids’ series subscriptions are on sale now and include tickets to Aladdin, A Christmas Carol, The Studio and a special concert performance by Norman Foote in the spring. A subscription is a great value and a way to give the little ones in your life access to quality program and cultural experiences. Call the Ticket Seller at 549-SHOW (7469) for tickets, subscriptions, and more information on this exciting series. Operatic tenor Paul Moore is back on Nov. 7 for an evening of music and his own unique humour.

Boy

t’s 1984 in a tiny coastal village in New Zealand, an 11-year-old Maori boy, known as “Boy,” finds himself looking after his little brother and cousins while his grandmother is out of town for a funeral. To everyone’s surprise, Boy’s estranged father returns from prison with his gang, the Crazy Horses, in tow. Although Boy’s father seems to be completely inept at Taylor & Howe everything but partying, he doesn’t really mean anyone harm. Boy, who has built up his dad to be the legend he wants him to be, will come to realize the sad truth that all boys, even all children must face: Your parents are not infallible, growing up is less fun than you think it’s going to be, and each of us is responsible for our own successes and failures. We say, “It’s funny and it’s sad, just like life.” TAYLOR: You have only one day to see this film at the Vernon Towne Cinema, Monday, at either 5:15 or 7:45 p.m. It is a presentation of the Vernon Film Society. I recommend you go, if you are a fan of heartfelt and effective

James Rolleston plays Boy, who is happy to have his father back in the New Zealand featured film, Boy. movies. Plus, when have you ever seen a movie from New Zealand? HOWE: I can’t remember if I ever have. It is a fine movie, yet, it isn’t a great movie. It entertained me, but that’s about it. It felt along the lines of Napoleon Dynamite and to me that is a far better movie than Boy. TAYLOR: It had a quirkiness to it that was reminiscent of Napoleon Dynamite, but it also had a more realistic approach to its storytelling. There was no depth to Dynamite, which was the quintessential MTV generation indie film. Boy has a subtext that can be related to by way of remembering your own childhood, whereas, to

relate to Dynamite you must fit into a particular niche or clique. Also, Dynamite is a strict comedy, whereas, Boy is less about laughs and more about the bittersweet nature of growing up. HOWE: The acting was pretty good by most of the cast, even the idiots from the Crazy Horse gang, but their whining voices started to annoy me. I thought James Rolleston who played Boy did a very good acting job. His eyes sparkled nearly as much as the sparklers he played with when he interacted with his father (Taika Waititi), as do most boys when they adore their parents. TAYLOR: I enjoyed Waititi’s previous film, Eagle

vs. Shark, which you can find on DVD or Netflix, but I can see why Boy has become the biggest grossing film from New Zealand ever. It’s a crosscultural, cross-generational nostalgic look back at an appreciable time and it’s unique enough to offer you something you’ve not seen before. Boy is lighthearted yet realistic, sad but with the promise of hope, and cute yet dirty. (Don’t take your 12 year old to it unless he or she can handle swearing, sexual references and drug use.) –– Howe gives Boy 2.5 moonwalks out of 5. –– Taylor gives it 3.5 plants hidden in cornrows out of 5.

Capsule Comments with

TOM NOLAN

The folic acid found in prenatal vitamin formulas is essential in preventing neural tube defects in the developing fetus. These defects can develop within 28 days after conception so it is important to start taking prenatal supplements about three months before planning to become pregnant. Continue taking them throughout pregnancy and breast feeding as well. Donating blood is a very selfless thing to do. It is easy to do too and you can’t catch any disease by donating. You can donate every eight weeks but if each Canadian eligible to donate did it only twice yearly, there would be enough blood for all medical needs. Our Canadian blood system is the safest it has ever been. Readers of this column know we are great supporters of regular walking as an exercise. Using walking poles can be useful especially when walking over uneven terrain. Used properly, the poles help exercise the upper body muscles more and help us maintain our balance. Many medicines originate in nature so it’s no surprise when it’s found that lavender plant reduces the number of falls in the elderly in nursing homes. In the study, they used patches infused with lavender comparing it to unscented patches. However, lavender oil could provide the same benefit. Whatever the source of new medication therapies, we make it our job to know about them. Use our pharmacists as a reliable source of drug information. Have Your Prescriptions Filled With Us

Band reaches out on mental health Morning Star Staff

Vancouver indie band Proud Animal is in the North Okanagan this week as part of the ReachOut Psychosis Tour, which raises awareness for mental illness in youth. The tour will take the band to A.L.

Fortune Secondary School in Enderby and Armstrong’s Pleasant Valley Secondary School on Monday and Vernon’s Fulton and Kalamalka Secondary Schools on Tuesday. The band is also giving a public performance at Vernon’s Talkin’ Donkey coffee house on Tuesday night. The ReachOut show combines the band’s original music with playful, interactive information about psychosis, a seri-

ous, treatable brain condition affecting youth. Singer and keyboardist Barbara Adler (formerly of The Fugitives) has been a performer with ReachOut Psychosis since 2005. “By providing accurate brain science information about this medical condition that most often first appears in adolescence, this program helps youth learn to spot psychosis symptoms in themselves and others and get help as soon as possible,” said Adler. “Receiving medical treatment for this condition in its earlier stages makes for a much faster and complete recovery. Early medical treatment can turn young lives around and even save lives.” ReachOut is offered free to schools, and presents to more than 22,000 students annually. The program is developed and delivered by the B.C. Schizophrenia Society and funded by the provincial health authority. Tuesday’s evening concert at the Talkin’ Donkey will feature material from Proud Animal’s debut, self-titled EP as well as a performance by a special guest. The show starts at 7 p.m. and admission is $5.

Rhythm and dance part of event Morning Star Staff

Lumby area residents will be treated to an exceptional evening of music and dance featuring Vernon’s Expression Collective, Lumby’s own Tribally Hipnotic belly dancers, and the local Community Collective drummers, who are participating in the drumming workshop sponsored by the Monashee Arts Council. This culturally super-charged performance will take place on Thursday from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Charles Bloom Secondary School theatre. The Expression Collective performs French fusion songs and world music chants. Their music is blended with three-part harmonies and upbeat musical arrangements. The collective offers an experience for audience members of all ages. “The intention is to share indigenous music from around the globe with messages of peace, social-cultural acceptance and unity,” said Angela Roy, founder and vocalist/percussionist with Expression Collective. “Each song both brings you new

A very exciting aspect of the night will be the first performance by the local drumming group, Community Collective. A diverse mix of ages have come together to explore world music through

rhythm, percussion and song through the month of October in the drumming workshop offered by Roy through the Monashee Arts Council. The group, who range in age from elementary school children to seniors, have been building their skills and confidence using world percussion instruments and hand drums. “It will be very exciting to see how the performance comes together,” said Jennifer Greenwood, the council’s arts and culture

program coordinator. “The energy levels at the drumming workshop have been phenomenal and with the Tribally Hipnotic dancers and Collective Expression performing on the same night I know it will be an amazing experience for the audience.” Advance tickets are $7/adults, $3/students, $25/family), available through the Monashee Arts Council office located at 1961 Vernon St. Lumby, the Lumby Health Food Store, and Café Mazzega in Lumby.

Skevik storms Vernon ski scene GrAeme Corbett Business Editor

Vernon has had its own ski hill for decades, and now it has its own brand of skis to play on the slopes. Brothers Glenn and Gregg Anderson have teamed up to create Skevik Skis, an idea that started as a hobby in their garage in 2005. Gregg, now 31, first began toying with the idea while he worked in the repair shop at Silver Star Mountain Resort. “On slow days, there would be broken skis laying around so I just took them apart and looked at them and talked to my brother, saying ‘Do you think we could make something like this?’” he said. A year later, he and Glenn, 25, had their first prototype skis, which they tested at Silver Star. “I was super skeptical on the first runs... but by the end of that day I was trying to break them, testing them, doing anything I could,” said Glenn. No matter where he rode, or what he tried, Gregg Anderson the skis held. The hobby really took off in 2008, when Glenn worked on the Skevik project – the company is named after their great grandfather, Anton Skevik, who immigrated to Canada from Norway – as an entrepreneurial work term for his mechanical engineering studies at the University of Victoria. After that, there was no turning back. Armed with four years of schooling, a limited budget and a passion for the sport, Glenn set about building his production line from scratch. They recently expanded to a new shop on 23rd Street. After hundreds of hours of tweaking and trial and error, they now have a CNC router (a computer-controlled shaping machine for the ski cores) and a press machine to shape the skis once they’ve been laid up. “Not many people build skis, so it’s always a learning process,” said Glenn, who now averages about four hours per set. “Every year you’re trying to find a more efficient way. “You look at our process two years ago, some of the stuff I laugh at how we did it.” Skeviks are currently available in three models – Anton (big mountain, also their most popular), Sevrin (all mountain) and Oda (powder). Gregg says the Sevrins would be best suited for recreational skiers who prefer groomed runs and the occasional romp in the glades. Measuring a whopping 96 millimetres underfoot, they can also handle a good dump of

snow without getting bogged down. “It’s for the groomed runs, but you can still do powder on it,” said Gregg, who works at DCT Chambers Trucking. “Ski designs have changed so much in the last five to 10 years.” Skeviks incorporate the best materials available – maple wood cores and carbon fibre inserts for durability and responsiveness. “Sourcing material was a challenge in the beginning because there’s not a whole lot of sources out there,” said Gregg. “For edges, there’s only one or two companies in the entire world.” Added Glenn: “Obviously nobody’s going to tell you where they get their ski materials. It was tough.” One unique feature of Skeviks is their look. The graphic designed topsheets have all been created by friends of the Andersons, giving them a local B.C. flavour. Parts of the designs are transparent, allowing the wood cores to show throw, which gives the skis a distinct retro look. Another draw for customers is they can pair any topsheet with the skis they buy. “It’s definitely something that makes stand out from other ski companies,” said Glenn. “You can choose your ski and you can choose which graphic you want on it.” Coldstream’s Bryce Barker, 19, is Skevik’s first sponsored rider, and the style was one of the first things that appealed to him. “They’re original; you just don’t see all that many all-wood cores any more,” said Barker, who mainly competes in slopestyle and big mountain competitions at Whistler. The other thing that has impressed him is the skis’ durability. “I have friends with big-business skis and they’d be going through four pairs of skis a year. I’ve had one pair of skis for multiple months of competition.” Regarding the skis’ wider profile, he added: “They actually carve really well. It just takes a little getting used to.” Skeviks are currently only available online, however that is about to change. Vernon’s Attridge Snow-Ski-Wake will soon be stocking them. Attridge has already been working with the Andersons by grinding Skeviks’ base layers as the final step in the manufacturing process. Matt Pedersen of Attridge is already a fan of the skis, and is looking forward to striking up a local partnership. “A lot my friends ski on them and they ski pretty hard and really like the skis. They hold up really well,” said Pedersen. “If people buy them through us, they’re supporting two local businesses so it works out well for everyone.”

Sculptor supports campaign Morning Star Staff

A donation by a Vernon artist has helped raise nearly $1,000 for Valley First’s Feed the Valley campaign. The credit union held a raffle for a sculpture, donated by Valley First member Cory Fuhr. The lucky winner of the four-foot tall, one-of-a-kind metalwork piece was Vernon’s Wendy Craven. A second prize of a $500 Valley First registered savings plan was collected by Armstrong’s Suzie Sims. “Feed the Valley is a tremendous program that has attracted the support of many community partners,” said Valley First’s Christa Phillips. “Cory’s generous donation has helped raise the profile of hunger in our regions as well as some much needed dollars for food banks up and down the Valley.” Fuhr, a regular personal contributor to Feed the Valley, is happy his artwork donation was able to raise the funds and awareness. “Over the last few years, more and more people have become reliant on food banks,” said Fuhr. “Feed the Valley really sets Valley First apart; it’s also a terrific cause that I wholeheartedly support. “In addition to making personal monetary donations, I thought I could help make a bigger impact by donating a piece of my work. Valley First’s commitment to fighting hunger in our communities really demonstrates a commitment to people over profit and I’m proud to be part of that.” Since its creation in March 2010, Feed the Valley has raised more than $325,000 and collected more than 19,000 pounds of food donations for food banks throughout the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson regions.

ence exchange uneasy glances — they’re staying there. Adams makes a sweeping gesture to encompass the entire area. “Never mind that particular building,” he says, “there are ghosts everywhere in Victoria.” Long before the gold rush days that turned Victoria into a city thronged with prospectors and merchants, the Songhees and the Esquimalt Indian bands lived and died here. Their bones were interred in cairns, or hung in caskets from trees. But when the

white settlers arrived, with scant regard for the age-old Indian beliefs, they cleared away the bones and disposed of them in the waters around Victoria. “And,” says Adams, pausing dramatically, “Their energy is still here, embedded in the earth around us! So, beware.” We follow Adams to the lawns of the Empress Hotel, where, as it turns out, I once occupied a haunted floor in the tower, but never bumped into the phantom of Francis Rattenbury, the murdered architect of the Legislature. An eccentric couple, Charles and Leah Rogers, the original owners of Rogers Chocolates (on Government Street) died in the 1920s but haven’t quite left the building. Our next halt is in front of a pub, “The Bard and the Banker.” Legend has it that the ghost who looks out of the window of an upstairs room is none other than Robert Service, whose poem, The Cremation of Sam McGee, is familiar to most of us. Service lived in the building and had a traumatic experience while looking at the pavement below his window. From here we enter into one of the creepiest areas in the Victoria downtown

area – Helmcken Alley and Bastion Square. Macabre, blood-soaked tales abound here, and standing at the back window of the very haunted Camille’s Restaurant, my camera captures a couple having dinner. Are they real, or are they actually the ghosts of Brady and Charlotte (aka “Lady Churchill”) who dined here regularly before Brady came to a violent end. The Marine Building, at Bastion Square, stands on the site of the old Victoria jail, courthouse and gallows. The dead don’t rest easy at this spot. Staff in the Marine Building know beyond a doubt that the place is monstrously haunted. Tonight, standing in a clearing behind the Marine Building where convicted murderers once swung at the end of a rope, it is easy to imagine the sharp crack of a neck bone as a body falls into a pit below the gallows, and the collective intake of breath by a ghoulishly appreciative audience. As we disperse, I hurry back to the Magnolia Hotel, head down. Pedestrians like shadowy shape-shifters pass silently by me, and skeletal-branched trees, wind-whipped, writhe against an orange, Halloween moon. Margaret Deefholts is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

sector (18,920 openings). “There are always opportunities for growth,” said Jefferson. “I love people who create food products and sell them at the local farmers markets to locals and visitors and then, all of a sudden, they have a product line. It’s an authentic souvenir. It’s a taste of the Okanagan.” After several years of slow labour growth, the tourism industry is poised to expand across the province. “Labour shortages are already being felt in places like northern B.C., the Thompson-Okanagan and in the Rockies regions. By 2016, the crunch will be more acute throughout the province,” said Arlene Keis, chief executive officer of go2. “The tourism industry often provides people with their important first job and sets them on their career path. Tourism is also the largest employer of youth, with one in four British Columbians under the age of 24 working in the industry.” “This anticipated growth in tourism reinforces the need to plan carefully and ensure that there are enough workers with the right skills in the right communities to meet the tourism industry’s future labour needs,” said Keis.

Eradicate polio in the world - we can do it.

tries, polio has not been eradicated and can easily be transported to other countries. Rotary is one of the partners in the quest to eradicate polio, having partnered with World Health Organization, UNICEF and the CDC (US Center for Disease Control). Rotary engaged in a test program in 1985 in the Philippines to determine that it can be done and in 1986 commenced, in conjunction with its partners, the quest to eradicate polio. Polio has now been eliminated in the developed world except for the two countries where the wild polio virus still exists. Rotary International has contributed over one billion dollars and other monies have come from the national governments and the Rotary partners. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has contributed $355 million and is on board to contribute until the job is done.

cation partners have declared an emergency for funding to go the last mile because until polio has been totally eliminated, the scourge of polio will continue to infect and lame people. There has been some good news on the Polio front with Government of Canada agreeing to match Canadian Rotary donations dollar for dollar up to a maximum of $1 million, which can be further matched by the Gates Foundation to a maximum of $1million. In other words, each dollar from Rotarians or friends of Rotary can become three dollars.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Familiar faces and customary routines might bore you to tears. If this is the case, look for new playgrounds and playmates. CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If you’re feeling highstrung, don’t take it out on innocent family members or co-workers. They’re not responsible for your emotional surges and outages. AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Your mental faculties are your most promising asset, making it possible for you to do exceptionally well in all situations that emphasize communication and unique ideas. PISCES Feb. 20-March 20) Take note that your chart emphases your material interests to be the most promising arrow in your quiver, making it possible for you to have many successful transactions of this nature. ARIES March 21-April 19) Your natural boldness and determination always make you a force to be reckoned with. Your drive to finish a vital project will once again prove this to be true. TAURUS April 20-May 20) Because you’ll roll up your sleeves and get dirty while others will be all talk and no work, you’ll be the one who reaps the rewards. GEMINI May 21-June 20) Another chance encounter will bring you into contact with someone whom you recently met and liked. This time, both of you

will make sure you’ll get to know each other far better. CANCER June 21-July 22) Even though you’ll welcome knowing that some assistance is available to you, you’ll fare far better by operating as independently as possible. LEO July 23-Aug. 22) Because you’re not apt to be bashful about expressing your strong opinions, others won’t be left guessing as to where you stand on critical issues, making everyone’s life easier. VIRGO Aug. 23-Sept. 22) It behooves you not to be dependent upon anybody else’s financial assistance. Even those who are extremely generous are likely to attach some strings to any arrangement. LIBRA Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Guard against inclinations to unwittingly dominate companions. Even though you may not mean to do so, you could be far more assertive than you intend.

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.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder TO AVOID GUESSWORK, GET TRICK ONE RIGHT Layne Staley, who died in 2002 and was the lead singer of the rock band Alice in Chains, said, “I guess I can go anywhere I want. If only I knew where to go.” Good players try to force their opponents to guess where to go for tricks. However, sometimes one is forced to guess only because of a second-best play earlier in a deal. Here, South is in three no-trump. West leads the club nine and East overtakes with his 10. What should declarer do? East’s double of two clubs showed long and strong clubs. So North’s three-club rebid asked South if he had

a club stopper. South has only five top tricks: three hearts and two clubs. He will have to establish three spades and one diamond. But this will necessitate losing the lead twice. And if East has both pointed-suit aces, the contract will have no chance. So, South mentally gives West an ace -- but which one? Suppose South takes the first trick. It would be normal to play a spade; here, though, West would grab the trick with the ace and lead his second club, establishing East’s suit while East still has the diamond ace as an entry. Yes, if South guesses to lead a diamond at trick two, he is safe. But why guess?

Declarer should duck the first trick. East will return a club, but now, when West gets in with his spade ace, he won’t have a club to lead. When you have two stoppers in the suit led and two high cards to dislodge, it is often right to duck the first trick.

(nee Herridge and formerly Ward) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Hazel Fellows on October 17th, 2012 in Vernon, B.C. at the age of 87 years. She leaves behind many family members who will mourn her death. She was preceded in death by her Įrst husband, Wallace W. Ward; her second husband, Stan Fellows; and her son, Norm Ward. Hazel was born in Nakusp, B.C. on October 22nd, 1924 and touched many lives during her years there as she was well known to many in town. Her strong spirit, sense of humor and enduring devoƟon to her community will be missed by those who knew her well. Hazel loved to reminisce over aŌernoon tea about her adventures with friends growing up in Nakusp, her many voyages on the Dinto, and the wonderful relaƟonships she made throughout her lifeƟme. She loved the color purple, found ũoy in collecƟng ͞liƩle pigs͟, and took pleasure in admiring the view of Sadleback Mountain from her rocking chair in her home on the waterfront. As per Hazel’s request, she was cremated and there will be no funeral service held. When taking some Ɵme to remember Hazel, wear something purple, sit and have a relaǆing cup of tea with a friend and enũoy the moment͊ As an eǆpression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donaƟons in memory of Hazel to the Nakusp Historical Society. CremaƟon arrangements were made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605-27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 250-542-1187

George was born in Vernon in 1930 and lived his life locally and as close to the earth as possible. In his young days, he had his own small sawmill in Cherryville and on many occasions the crew said that Dick (as he was fondly known) was one of the best employers ever. He made friendships that truly lasted his entire life. Middle years were spent providing for his family, be it driving logging truck for Hector LeBlanc or working at Dyckâ€™s garage. You could always count on seeing Dick walking around town in later years. He is survived by his sons: Dale (Kari), Dennis and Kelly; grandchildren, Violet, Clayton, Kevin, Lindsey and Ryan; numerous great-grandchildren; nieces and nephews. George was predeceased by: his mother Minnie; father Frank; brothers: Lou, Frank and Jack; and sister Beryl. He was the last one in his family. He ran a good race and is now at peace. George will be greatly missed. A family celebration of life is to be held at a later date. Arrangements have been entrusted to: PLEASANT VALLEY FUNERAL HOME (250) 542-4333 Condolences may be offered at pleasantvalleyfh.com
