Fatal shootings stun community the scene, they found the Neifers deceased, and one of the first responding officers assisted two children and an adult relative out of the home to a vehicle. None of those three were harmed. The children are under the age of 10 and are believed to now be in the company of family members. The other adult in the home is a mother of one of the victims. “The RCMP wants to assure the public that at no time was there any danger to anyone else in the neighbouring area,” said Molendyk, who also confirmed a marijuana grow-operation was found inside the home. Molendyk said the couple was not known to police, and did not have any idea what led to the gunshots. “As you can appreciate, our investigators are still talking with family members and following up on this matter to determine exactly what happened,” said Molendyk. The investigating officers are asking anyone who might have heard shots being fired on Hartnell Road late Sunday night or early Monday morning to please call the Vernon RCMP office at 250545-7171.

RCMP continue to investigate what they confirmed as a homicide-suicide Monday at a home in the 5800 block of Hartnell Road in the BX.
RCMP have confirmed two suspicious deaths in a BX area home Monday as a homicide and suicide. The bodies of Sheena Neifer, 29, and Gregory Neifer, 30, were discovered after RCMP responded to a report of shots fired at a home in the 5800 block of Hartnell Road Monday at 1:40 a.m. “The pair died as a result of a homicide and suicide,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk Tuesday. “The investigation has determined that the two died as a result of gunshot wounds.” Molendyk said Gregory Neifer killed his wife, then committed suicide. A gun was recovered at the scene, though Molendyk would not disclose its make. The call to police Monday morning came from inside the home. When officers first arrived on
Accident claims life A 33-year-old Vernon man was killed Sunday in a single-vehicle accident around 7:30 p.m. on Old Kamloops Road. Police determined that Tyrone Nicholas Turnbull – the lone occupant of the vehicle – had been thrown clear of his Ford Ranger pickup on impact, and was listed in critical condition. Turnbull was taken by ambulance to
Vernon Jubilee Hospital where he died a short time later from his injuries. “Early indications are that speed and alcohol are contributing factors in this accident,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Turnbull was heading northbound on the road at the time of the accident. The accident remains under investigation by an RCMP traffic reconstructionist and the coroner to determine the cause.

Fire crews continue to put out the burning bundles of recycling Saturday morning after the recycling plant at the Greater Vernon landfill went up in flames Friday night.

Blaze doesn’t stop recycling efforts richard rolke Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan residents are being urged to keep recycling despite a major setback. Flames devoured the recycling facility at the Greater Vernon landfill March 1 at about 9:30 p.m. “For our customers, there is no change in service,” said Nicole Kohnert, Regional District of North Okanagan’s manager of regional engineering services. “We don’t want to stop collecting material.” Blue bags will be picked up around the region, as usual, and then collected at a building at the landfill. They will then be sent for sorting by one of two Kelowna
companies. “We have yet to get prices and we’re looking for the best price,” said Kohnert. The loss of the recycling facility has impacted more than 30 people involved in sorting. “We will attempt to use Bluewater (contractor) employees and Venture Training is doing what it can to find other opportunities for their people,” said Kohnert. In the long-term, RDNO will have to decide if it rebuilds the facility, which received about 100 tonnes of recycling per week. The Greater Vernon landfill remains open for anyone needing to get rid of household waste. Firefighters from Vernon, Coldstream
and BX-Swan Lake responded to the blaze. “We are still trying to determine the area of origin,” said Jack Blair, a deputy chief with the Vernon Fire Department. “There was so much damage so it makes the investigation a tough one. For us, it could go down as undetermined.” Firefighters were also kept busy dousing hot spots throughout the weekend. “There were hundreds of bales (of material) that had to be ripped apart and soaked down,” said Blair. Water had to be transported to site as there isn’t a water source at the landfill. However, Blair doesn’t believe that was a major factor in responding to the emergency. “It (water source) wouldn’t have helped
because the fire was so intense before the arrival of the fire department,” he said.

Vernon-Monashee MLA endorses premier richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Calls for Premier Christy Clark to resign don’t hold any credence with VernonMonashee’s MLA. Clark has been under fire for her handling of an internal memo about targeting the ethnic vote and some Surrey MLAs have demanded she step down. But Eric Foster says he stands behind her. “She’s trying to get to the bottom of all of this. One senior staff member is gone already and
“She’s still in charge of the ship. — Eric Foster
the premier has said this situation is unacceptable,” he said. “She’s still in charge of the ship. She’s a solid leader.” Foster won’t speculate on whether the controversy could impact the Liberal gov-
ernment’s chance of reelection in May. “I don’t know if it does or not. We will move forward and present our record to keep B.C. at the top of the pile economically,” he said. The memo suggested
a range of strategies to improve the Liberals’ relationship with ethnic communities, including having supporters contact ethnic media outlets. John Dyble, Clark’s deputy minister, will investigate how the memo came to be developed. “The document did not recognize there are lines that cannot be crossed in conducting this outreach (to ethnic communities) and it is unacceptable,” a statement from Clark says.
“The language in this draft document and some of the recommendations are absolutely inappropriate.” On Monday, Richmond MLA John Yap resigned as advanced education and multiculturalism minister while the investigation by Dyble is underway. Clark has also stated that the investigation may also force her to step aside. “When we have all the facts, and when the report is tabled, we will

The officer had the driver exit the truck, then he removed the rifle for safety reasons. “When our officer checked the rifle, he found it to be loaded with two rounds,” said Molendyk. “The driver had several more (rounds) in his jacket.” A second officer came to assist in dealing with this situation.
The driver was taken to the police station for impaired driving. Molendyk said the man’s blood-alcohol reading was more than twice the legal limit. The suspect is also likely to face firearmsrelated charges. The two passengers were allowed to leave. The incident remains under investigation.
likely be required to take further action, and I will take that action,” she told the media in Victoria Monday. Foster says he was unaware of discussions about the ethnic vote until the memo was leaked to the media and he is troubled by the content. “This kind of docu-
ment out in the public is never good. The document was unacceptable,” he said. “The document is unacceptable but there are people in opposition grabbing on to this to make a big deal out of it.” — with files from Black Press reporter Tom Fletcher

An RCMP officer found more than he was looking for after stopping a suspected impaired driver Monday. Just after 1 a.m., a Lumby officer responded to a call of a possible impaired driver in the Cherryville area. He spoke to the concerned citizen, then made patrols and found the suspect vehicle.
“The driver had several more rounds.” — Gord Molendyk
“The vehicle was stopped and there were three people in it at the time,” said North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “When our officer

Party wants carbon tax scrapped Morning Star Staff
The B.C. Conservatives have set their sights on the province’s contentious carbon tax. The party’s budget and fiscal framework, which was released Tuesday, calls for the carbon tax to be phased-out over a four-year period if the Conservatives form government. “The tax has been - and is - unfair to British Columbians who live in rural and northern regions of the province,” said Scott Anderson, chairperson of the party’s public finance committee and VernonScott Anderson Monashee candidate. “It hurts B.C. ranchers and farmers, who have faced rising input costs ever since the Liberals introduced the tax five years ago, and other industries as well.” The total annual cost of repealing the carbon tax is expected to be $1.2 billion. “There is no question that Victoria could use an extra $1.2 billion each and every year,” said Anderson. “But the carbon tax is fundamentally unfair. It hurts British Columbians on the basis of where they live, and the businesses they work in.
For the record An error in Sunday’s Morning Star listed the City of Armstrong’s water surplus at $453,573. In fact, the surplus is only $53,573. The Morning Star apologizes for the error.
“B.C.’s tax on carbon places our farmers, ranchers and other agricultural producers at a significant disadvantage to competitors in other jurisdictions.”

chief. “He’s been a mentor to me. He’s the strong, silent type who just puts his head down and helps. He would be first on the truck, first on the hose and be the last one to leave the hall.” Enderby council was unanimous in bestowing Freedom of the City on Davyduke, who has now retired from the department. “When you look at all of the call-outs and practices over 47 years,
he is deserving,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. “He is a credit to the community. He is an amazing individual.” The award, which has only been presented once before in Enderby, was given to Davyduke during a ceremony March 1. “He was just thrilled and so surprised,” said Ruby Davyduke, Alex’s wife. When asked why he stayed involved with the department all of those
years, Ruby said, “He loved it. He was right at home there.” Along with Davyduke, a Freedom of the City award will also be going to Elmer Halvorson, who was with the fire department for 54 years. Lifetime civic merit awards are going to volunteer firefighters Ray Kerkhof for 23 years of service and Greg Halvorson for 28 years. Elmer Halvorson, Greg Halvorson and
Ray Kerkhof will be honoured March 13 at 6 p.m. at the Enderby fire hall. “Their dedication to preserving the safety of Enderby and area residents is something that is truly admirable,” said Cyr. “All members of the community are encouraged to attend and show their appreciation for the outstanding volunteerism and dedication shown by these individuals.”

City demands answers richard rolke Morning Star Staff
There are concerns that Enderby is being bypassed while other communities get doctors. City council decided Monday to write the Ministry of Health and demand clarification on statistics that show B.C. recruited a record 268 physicians in 2012. “We want to know where the physicians are being placed and how this process will benefit Enderby,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. Cyr says there is growing anxiety among residents that the area — with about 7,200 people — currently has just one permanent doctor and they have to travel to Vernon or Salmon Arm for care. The Interior Health Authority has stated there will be at least one new physician this summer.
“We are very troubled about that.” — Howie Cyr
Another issue city council wants addressed is an apparent change in the funding model for physicians. Doctors at the Enderby Health Centre operate under contract with the Interior Health Authority. However, council has heard payment may shift to fee-
for-service and doctors may have to rent office space. “We are very troubled about that. We see it as a deterrent for getting physicians here,” said Cyr. Council will ask IHA to provide information on the payment model. Enderby’s push for
physicians is also getting support from communities like Armstrong and Clearwater. “The District of Clearwater has also been struggling to attract and retain physicians and has worked tirelessly towards finding a solution,” said Mayor John Harwood in a letter to Enderby. “I would like to let you know that you have the full support of the District of Clearwater in your endeavours towards finding physicians for your community.”

Think outside the box
t should come as no surprise that the Vernon School District administration office has seen better days. In fact, it wasn’t anything to scream about 23 years ago. But conditions have only got worse for the 41-year-old structure. The heating system is antique, bread crumbs are needed to navigate the hallway maze and trustees are relegated to a portable just like a primary class. “The status quo will leave this facility as the highest energy cost, lowest air quality building in the district,” says Wally Neumann, an architect that looked at the integrity of the administration complex Richard Rolke on 15th Street. Now to reinforce the situation, board chairperson Bill Turanski likes to point out that then-education minister Christy Clark once toured the office. “She said this is the worst board office she’d ever seen,” said Turanski. It was great that she noticed the conditions, but she did absolutely nothing about it before she left politics in 2005 and she certainly has forgotten about the visit since she became premier in 2011. “The ministry hasn’t funded renovations to a board office for about 30 years,” said Turanski. Provincial funding can only go towards a district’s operating expenses so that means there’s no cash for administrative offices although they are completely necessary to provide the support services required by students, parents and teachers. And considering a projected shortfall of

$2.2 million and possibly having to lay off staff and reduce programs, the district has far greater priorities than the board office. But instead of just looking to Victoria for capital funds that will never materialize, has the school district considered alternatives? First off, there are two former schools just sitting vacant — West Vernon and Whitevale. Whitevale is likely ruled out because of its location in rural Lumby, but West Vernon is almost in downtown Vernon and highly accessible. Yes, the building is old, but it has considerable space and classes could be split into offices. The fact that it’s being used for child care proves that West Vernon is still highly functional. Another option for the district is to tap into the well-supplied rental market. If you haven’t noticed, entire floors of office buildings are available downtown. Rent isn’t cheap, but selling a chunk of the administrative property could offset those costs (unless the Ministry of Education helps itself to the cash). Now, some will question the validity of this plan because most administrators would be separated from the transportation and maintenance divisions, which could stay at the 15th Street site. However, that isn’t a stumbling block given that most municipalities have their public works department some distance from city hall. One of the things teachers encourage students to do is to be creative — to think outside of the box. Same-old, same-old is to be challenged if a more efficient, effective method can be found. So instead of just waiting for the board office to collapse around their ears, it’s time for trustees and administrators to put on their thinking caps.
Listening to the pundits Sunday, it appeared that Christy Clark was finished. She wouldn’t last the day. We all know that didn’t happen, and there is almost no chance that Clark won’t be leading the Liberals into an election campaign. It will be a campaign with similarities to 1991 and 2001. Clark, like Rita Johnston in 1991 and Ujjal Dosanjh in 2001, was called in after predecessors screwed up. In Clark’s case, she has had two years to put her mark on the party — much more than Johnston and Dosanjh had. While she made some initial progress, the fallout over the HST and other issues have dogged her ability to convince voters the Liberals should be re-elected. The latest controversy over an ethnic voter recruitment strategy is embarrassing, and likely will drive some undecided voters into the Conservative, Green or NDP camps. Others will stay home. There are a few points to think about as we head towards May 14. First, for former Liberal voters, what are the alternatives? The Conservatives are revitalized, with John Cummins doing an energetic job in leading them. But they are mostly untried. The Greens have been quiet throughout the Liberal troubles, but are likely to field candidates. Cummins and Green Jane Sterk need to be part of any leaders’ debates, because voters need to hear from them in a forum that pits them against Clark and NDP leader Adrian Dix. Another point, opinion polls aren’t always right. Many people do not have land lines and polls don’t always capture the public mood as accurately as they once did. Here, there will be many lastminute shifts in voting preference. Anything could happen May 14. — Langley Times

Timing is everything, but...
recall an old radio program which began with a story teaser but after a break, one heard the rest of the story, which usually had an unexpected twist from what you anticipated, so it didn’t pay to jump to conclusions. It remains true that timing is everything whether in sports or politics, all of which we’ll get a taste of this April when a referendum on a sports complex occurs. Official community plan reviews are also slated for review this year both in Vernon and Coldstream. I recall the Vernon OCP community consensus was to have a socio-economic densification in the downtown core, with more retail and residential spaces; a focus on green and sustainable issues; an emphasis on a multifunctional cultural /community complex on the Elk’s site to help foster a downtown revitalization involving all age and wage groups; a desire to position new amenities like sports fields close to already existing infrastructure to encourage use of bike or walking trails and reduce our reliance on cars. So what in the previous OCP vision has been implemented, and if not, why not? It also begs the question of how, or if, this
olympic voice Having spent a part of my childhood in Vernon, I know how much a track would help the community. The sole reason why my family ended up moving to Kamloops, eventually in my later years, was because of the track facility. I credit that track and the coaches for all of my achievements at the world class level. A track in Vernon will not only keep youth out of trouble and living healthy lifestyles, but also have to potential to breed future Olympians.

new stand-alone proposals fit in to the OCP? We expect the sports supporters to rally to their cause by focusing only on the positive aspects and I wish them the best, especially since taxpayers will be asked for their longterm monetary support during the taxing month of April. Talk about timing. Though I see both health and economic benefits to a sports track I favour it being constructed near Wesbild Centre where existing amenities and extensive tourist facilities exist. But what I expect from elected officials is
I believe, without that support, I would not have been successful. To each and every person; that shared the story, made a phone call, provided information or advice, sent an e-mail or simply sympathized, I am forever grateful. Special thanks to Roger Knox and The Morning Star, Charlotte Helston, from Info-Tel News, my children for their tenacious facebook campaign and a young girl named Joy (she now knows why). And finally, I wish to thank Doreen. For without her, there is no love story. Scott fochler action RequiRed Cities and municipalities struggle to pay wages and benefits for needed policing services.

less hype and more perspective given as to the pros/cons, costs and options for this proposal so we can make an informed decision. I am not a fan of the plunk approach to planning. I’m sure most citizens wish officials had sniffed out other more suitable sites for the sewage treatment plant and landfill way back when. Now we deal with the laws of unintended consequences for them which may be repeated I fear if we build the sports track with facilities up by the college. The college was architecturally designed
struggle to exist. Is there a common cause here? Because of our policy that criminalizes the use of substances like marijuana we keep police costs up as they struggle to enforce what is unenforceable. Because current drug policy sets up a black market and gang warfare that drives up enforcement costs, we do not have enough funds for prevention, harm reduction and treatment of addictions, i.e. Crossroads in Kelowna. If we change the policy and put cannabis under a legally regulated, taxed, and public health control model, we decrease the need for police staffing, and we have a source of income to pay for needed treatment centres like Crossroads. Police themselves admit that about 50 per cent of their work is drug-related. A gang-related murder costs us $1 million. Richard Rolke, in his column,
to marry harmoniously with its gullied site whereas the sports track facilities won’t. Though the track is only seasonal, there will be year ‘round repercussions with visual pollution from the blindingly bright, high track lights seen from most everywhere and while driving along Highway 97 (do you recall the OC signage even had to be dimmed?); our night sky views compromised; more paving over arable land; cars driving to and from there at all hours (4:30 a.m. anyone?); ongoing policing (since an open facility like that doesn’t just encourage wholesome pursuits) and maintenance costs; plus the high roofed grandstand will mar our stunning visuals of Kalamalka Lake while travelling south along our scenic portion of Highway 97. Do we want any potential desecration of that viewscape as our lasting legacy? Voters need to hear the rest of the story. We can have a respectful debate amongst well intentioned citizens about this for the good of all residents, now and to come. Let’s work together to enhance the irreplaceable, natural beauty in our area with attractive approaches and community amenities to make our home truly Greater Vernon. B. Strube
says, "Broader societal issues of drugs, mental health and housing rest with senior government. As long as Ottawa and Victoria sit on their hands, there will always be gaps to service.” We here in our community are the ones who are paying for policy that is failing. If you want your taxes lowered, and you want adequate drug and alcohol treatment services in the Okanagan, send letters to your MP and MLA and complain about what you are having to pay because of misguided drug policy. Just because it is a federal issue does not mean we are helpless. We are also being let down by our provincial government, which chooses to turn a blind eye to the problem, and does not push Ottawa towards change.

Suspected grow-op busted roger knox Morning Star Staff
RCMP had long suspected a house in the 2700 block of 17th Street contained a marijuana grow operation. Their suspicions were confirmed Friday after police obtained a search warrant for the home. “Our officers seized 122 plants and related equipment from the home,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Officers believed this operation had been going for an extended period of time. The smell from it was evident in the neighbourhood.” Two people inside the home were arrested. A 48-year-old woman is expected to be charged and appear in court at a later date on charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking and production. A man in the home was released without charges at this time.

A registered nurse, Down first arrived in Vernon in 1948 and along with husband Harold, she operated a beauty salon, a riding stable, the Sandy Beach Tent and Trailer Court and Down’s Residence, a psychiatric care facility. But a lot of what Down did went on behind the scenes, with little fanfare. “If she heard of someone in need, she’d call her friends and they’d go over and clean the house and put food in there,” said Chub. “A lot of them were single moms and she helped them get on track. She drilled it into us that you never walked by someone if you can help.” Down is survived by her children Chub, Dixie and Chris, as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She is predeceased by husband Harold and sons Daryl and Rick. A remembrance service will be held March 22 at 11 a.m. at Vernon Alliance Church.

Film gives perspective on the war at home Documentary The House I Live In is part of the 19th annual Vernon International Film Festival
Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Iraq and the Taliban are not the only ones embroiled in a war with the U.S. To many who live south of the border, there is a different kind of war going on, and it can be seen with the more than $1 trillion spent and 45 million drug-related arrests that have been made in the U.S. since 1971. The U.S. has become the No. 1 country in the world in jailing its citizens. Approximately 2.5 million people are incarcerated, with more than 50 per cent of the prison population in jail because of drug-related offences. Many of those are incarcerated because of marijuana-related infractions. One in eight of those jailed are African-American. Those statistics come from the recently released 2012 Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury prize winning documentary The House I Live In. The film, which will be shown as part of the 19th annual Vernon International Film Festival, starting this week, is of particular interest to those who have been fighting the same war here in Canada. “One in 100 Americans are in jail and (the war on drugs) has spawned a huge industry with prison guard unions, the construction industry and private contractors,” said David Kennedy, a retired doctor who had his practice in Vernon. Kennedy is a member of Stop the Violence B.C., a coalition of professionals concerned about drug-related violence. He will introduce The House I Live In when it screens as part of the festival at the Towne Cinema on Monday at 5 p.m. He will also speak for 10 minutes following the film. Stop the Violence B.C. primarily wants to see changes in the policy of the prohibition
Sam Cullman and derek HallquiSt
eugene Jarecki’s acclaimed documentary The House I Live In is one of the films being shown during the Vernon international Film Festival, opening at the towne Cinema Friday and continuing to thursday, march 14. of marijuana. Its members have addressed municipal councils across the province with the goal of decriminalization in order to stop turf wars and gang-related violence. “We want to get rid of the Black Market, which gives the power to the gangs and dealers, as well as the corruption of the police. We want to see a new process where we can get to a place that we can legally regulate, tax and manage the drug situation under public health,” said Kennedy. That message seems to catching on in B.C. as at the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) convention in September, a majority of members called for the UBCM to lobby the appropriate levels of government to decriminalize pot and research its regulation and taxation. “If we prohibit it, we can’t regulate it,” said Kennedy. The House I Live In looks at all sides of the issue and features interviews with everyone from a street-corner dealer to a narcotics
officer, an inmate, to a federal judge, among others. It also looks at how mandatory minimum sentencing has seen the proportion of black offenders grow from under 10 per cent to more that 29 per cent of those incarcerated. “One sees the harm from the policy and it’s similar to up here, not blacks to whites, but with the disproportionate amount of aboriginal people in our jails. It also affects the poor. Those who have their roots in poverty turn to the drug trade,” said Kennedy. The Vernon Film Society’s International Film Festival opens on Friday and continues to Thursday, March 14. Films will be shown daily during that time at the Towne Cinema at 5 and 7:30 p.m. The festival starts with Hyde Park on Hudson followed by Inch’Allah Friday. On Saturday, French-Austrian film Amour, the Academy award winner for Best Foreign Language Film, will be shown Saturday followed by environmental documentary Chasing Ice.
Sunday’s screenings include Germany’s Barbara and the Oscar winning film for Best Documentary Feature, Searching for Sugar Man. On Monday, after The House I Live In, is Argentina’s Chinese Take-away, while Tuesday will feature Portugal’s Tabu and the unscriptedvisual film Samsara. Canadian-South African film Inescapable will screen March 13 followed by the Palestinian-Israeli-French film 5 Broken Cameras. The festival wraps up March 14 with Mad Ship, set in the Canadian Prairies in the midst of the Great Depression, and with Farewell My Queen, winner of nine French César Awards. Tickets for each film are $7 or $30 for a fivefilm pass, available at both the Towne Cinema box office or the Bean Scene coffee house.

We’re here for a good time pretty well sums up the night of music that students of Wentworth Music will bring to the Vernon Recreation Centre Sunday at 7 p.m. In partnership with Interior Savings, Wentworth is holding a tribute concert to one of Canada’s all-time favourite bands, Trooper. The students plan to play classic hits from the legendary band in this close-to two-hour concert dedicated to

Trooper’s radio and touring success across Canada and beyond. “Wentworth’s rock concert initiative, which started in 2011, is wildly popular with the students and provides them with a goal of performing in a real rock show, and helps them keep engaged in a positive activity,” said the school’s vice president of education Noel Wentworth. As in the past, all proceeds from the concert will go towards helping children at Vernon Jubilee Hospital.
“It gives the students an opportunity to give back to their community, helping kids where they need it most,” said Wentworth. With additional help from Interior Savings, the team of students and instructors at Wentworth have raised more than $13,000 to date. Tickets for the concert are $15/adult, $8/student on sale at Wentworth Music, 4301 39th St., Vernon.

t an Okanagan Symphony reception in Kelowna’s Black Box Theatre, in between rehearsals for Sunday’s Spring Breezes concert, into the room walked a man looking remarkably like Philip Seymour Hoffman. He turned out to be the featured soloJim Elderton ist, Roger Cole, principal oboist of the Vancouver Symphony for 37 years, here to rehearse the Oboe Concerto by Richard Strauss. Strauss (not to be confused with the waltz king Johan) is probably best known for the iconic opening music used by Stanley Kubrick for 2001: A Space Odyssey – actually the opening movement of Also Sprach Zarathustra. (This is a gorgeous piece, well worth listening to.) The oboe concerto, written in 1945, was one of his last works during what biographers describe as his “Indian summer.” Strauss dedicated it to his friend John de Lancie who become principal oboist of the Philadelphia Orchestra. In three interconnected movements, this piece, like Zarathustra, has a wonderful richness of tone. (With this composer, lack of familiarity need not be a deterrent!)

Roger Cole, principal oboist for the Vancouver Symphony, rehearses with the Okanagan Symphony and music director Rosemary Thomson before his Vernon performance Sunday. Interestingly, Cole had been a tutor to Lauris Davis, the OSO’s principal oboist. During the deserved standing ovation, Cole was, as usual, presented with a rose. Instead of the little girl’s rapid escape from the stage, the two held hands for the final bow. The evening was principally devoted to Mozart, started with his Serenade for Wind Octet. Intended for intimate gatherings rather than concert halls, it was composed for two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons and two French horns. (The OSO horn players duly challenged their description as “wind” players.

Repertoire for the evening features many popular Latin tunes including Tito Puente’s Oye Como Va, the Celia Cruz/Gypsy Kings’ version of Bamboleo, Consuelo Velazquez’s Besame Mucho, and Mongo Santamaria’s Sofrito. Featured original tunes include Meneate, which means “to move,” and Mambo 234, a song about a party in a very small room. Bandleader Geronimo is the third generation of professional musicians and dancers in his family. “My grandfather, Vicente Geronimo, a businessman in the Philippines, travelled to New York and fell in love with Latin music.

Symphony embraces summer’s dawn Continued from a12 In four movements, this was an elegantly woven tapestry, and performed without the conductor. The leadership shifted depending on who carried the prominent line — mostly the oboe or clarinet. The highlight for me was Arthur Honegger’s Pastorale d’été – a short tone poem translated as “I embrace the summer’s dawn.” Beautifully restrained, cellos and horns suggested the early morning
sun pushing through the mist, with gentle breezes wafting in and out from the violins, sometimes the flute, sometimes the clarinet. OSO maestra Rosemary Thomson didn’t use a baton for this, and her expressive arm movements reminded me of a Tai Chi master. Finally, for Mozart’s Symphony No. 36, a major stage rearrangement. Thomson used the antiphonal seating (sometimes known as the Toscanini arrangement) with the second violins on the opposite
side of the stage. The cellists go to the middle, the basses upstage from the first violins, and the timpani on the opposite side. The intention is to improve the sound. However, the challenge is for the second violins to be loud enough since their f-holes point away from the audience! But it certainly sounded good to me. As usual in four movements, this was a robust and assertive delivery, the fourth movement finishing at a gallop.

Medal honours Nyberg Morning Star Staff
Since graduating as a registered nurse 50 years ago, Jessie Nyberg has made a name for herself as a nurse, advocate and visionary for social justice and equity for the health and education of aboriginal people. And now, the Vernon resident has been recognized for her work with a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, created in honour of the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the throne. The medal serves to honour significant contributions and achievements by Canadians. “As a dedicated volunteer on many committees and boards, Jessie has given valuable time and energy in her commitment to improve the lives of urban aboriginal people,” said Wendy Antoine, executive director of the First Nations Friendship Centre (FNFC) in Vernon. Nyberg is a proud aboriginal woman of Secwepemc ancestry from the Canoe Creek Band. She received her Registered Nursing diploma from Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops in 1963, a Nursing Unit Administration diploma from the Canadian Hospital Association, a bachelor of science in health science from Chapman College, Calif., and near completion of a master’s in health administration. Since then she has held various nursing positions, from bedside nurse to senior administration in Alberta, British Columbia, California and Hawaii. “Her work as an aboriginal nurse, advocate, and visionary for social justice and equity for the health and education of citizens spans more than 50 years,” said Antoine. “Her focus aims at the needs of aboriginal peoples, more specifically urban aboriginal people, and the education of non-aboriginal people to reduce racism and discrimination. “For example, Ms. Nyberg was able to facilitate, through lobbying and achieving funding, an Aboriginal Early Childhood Development Centre and a Primary Health Care facility within the community.”

Jessie Nyberg (centre) is honoured at a special ceremony at the First Nations Friendship Centre recently, where she was presented with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal and celebrated with FNFC president Laura Hockman (left), elder Caroline Proulx, executive director Wendy Antoine and board member Donna Kurtz. In addition, over the last 10 years she has worked with the Provincial Urban Aboriginal Early Childhood Development Strategic Planning Circle and Human Early Learning Partnership focusing on education, health services and support for children zero to six years of age, in particular aboriginal children, said Antoine. As an adjunct professor, researcher and elder advisor, Nyberg is involved with several aboriginal health research projects at UBC Okanagan, including health care access for urban aboriginal people, the development and implementation of a new innovative Aboriginal Health Cultural Safety curriculum and aboriginal nursing recruitment and retention. She is also an elder advisor on a variety of local and provincial government, non-profit and educational agencies, hospital foundations, and other research committees and teams, such as Success by Six, Aboriginal Infant Development Programs, Canadian Native Womens’ Association and Vernon Jubilee Hospital Tower of Care funding campaign. Speaking at a special medal presentation ceremony, FNFC president Laura
Hockman said working with Nyberg has been an incredible honour. “She has taught me so much about community development and leadership. I consider her one of my biggest mentors,” she said. Former MLA Tom Christensen said the greatest privilege of his time in office was the opportunity to meet and learn from members of the community who have dedicated their lives to making a difference. “Jessie is prominent among those I learned from. She embodies the strength of our elders, sharing her wisdom and leading by example,” he said. “Jessie is a truly deserving recipient of this medal. “In introducing the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, Governor General David Johnson explained that it is intended to recognize those Canadians who have dedicated themselves to the well-being of family, community and country. The order of those three is interesting, because a focus on the first, family, will automatically achieve the second and third. If we can encourage and support the well-being of families, we will achieve well-being for our community and our country.”
concrete deck do not compete with any other plants and get lots of compost. These grapes are green seedless Himrod. They are very sweet and ripen early. The other one was supposed to be a red seedless grape, but it turned out to be a small seeded almost black grape which is very sweet. This vine covers an arbor by the shed and last year it went crazy on me. I had lots of grapes and they do freeze well and keep their shape even when thawed out. The other grapevines are from cuttings I got from a neighbour a few years back. Another method from my gardening book: layering is a simple way of producing new vines for the home vineyard. Simply bury a portion of a low-growing vine about two inches beneath the soil surface. After that piece roots, cut it from the mother vine and transplant it. Almost any garden can produce grapes. Low frosty pockets should be avoided because of the danger of injury from spring frost. Annual pruning is important in maintaining a uniform yearly production of quality fruit. The best time to prune grapevines is after the danger of severe
cold weather has past which is about now. Grapes are not particular as to soils. As long as they are well-drained they grow well on both heavy and light soils. A soil of average fertility is best because too rich soils stimulate cane growth, causing poorly formed clusters. A slightly acid soil is best, but good growth and production are possible on neutral soils. Spring planting can be done from March through May, but it is better to plant as early in spring as the ground can be worked. Grapes develop on the growth of the current year. Buds left on the vine at pruning time will produce fruit in summer. Year-old wood is the best yielder of fruit. Grapevines respond well to 10-10-10 fertilizer or well-rotted manure or compost. Fertilize in early spring and again about a month later, but do not fertilize past mid summer. Your vines need to enter dormancy at a normal time in fall or they will receive greater than normal winter damage. Grapes should only be picked when you are absolutely certain that they are ripe. They will not ripen any further once picked. For more information: 250-558-4556.
Prune now for summer grapes
O
nce again the Enderby Seed Swap and Sale was very well-attended, with 760 persons coming through the doors. Many came to attend the informative lectures and demonstrations while others were looking for specific seeds and information on how to grow them. I also had a chance to talk with some new garJocelyne sewell deners that were eager to start a garden. There is another seed sale going on in Cherryville on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Community Hall on North Fork Road. A donation of $2 would be appreciated. This will be the third year and I will be there for the first time. I am in the process of pruning my grapevines. Late August, it was nice sitting on the deck and reaching for grapes. I have very good air circulation which is important for grapes, and also a south exposure. The roots being next to our

Easter brings the scent of fresh breads
aster will be early this year, as it is not celebrated on a fixed date. I know that I’ve stated several times in years past that, “Easter is always celebrated on the Sunday immediately following the first full moon after the spring equinox.” I’ve since learned that Easter Sunday is the Sunday following the Paschal Full Moon date, and that is determined from historical tables and doesn’t necessarily correspond to lunar events. These shifting dates came about because early church leaders wanted to always celebrate the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus after the Jewish Passover. Since the Jewish Passover is based on solar and lunar cycles, the dates move from year to year. Easter can vary as much as two days from the date of the actual full moon, with dates ranging from March 21 to April 18. Because of this, Easter can be anywhere from March 22 through April 25 in Western Christianity. However, regardless of when we celebrate Easter, one thing that is a certainty is the smell of freshly baked

Public input sessions to drive future of transit RogeR Knox Morning Star Staff
The future of transit in the North Okanagan will again be taken back to the public for input. The Transit Future plan, which is looking at transit for the next 25 years in the North Okanagan, collected
public and stakeholders input in October and November of 2012. Since that time, B.C. Transit planners have been working on developing a plan and responding to the input. “People said they want more direct services, more frequent
services, greater coverage to the outlying areas like BX, Blue Jay subdivision, Paddlewheel, Silver Star and Foothills, and, of course, the UBCO connector to Kelowna,” said Amanda Watson, City of Vernon transportation technician.
“We’ve taken that input, we’ve developed a plan, a future network, and this is what we’re going out to consultation with this month.” A B.C. Transit Future bus will go to Armstrong, Vernon, Lumby and Coldstream over five days later this
month. “We’ll be re-presenting this proposed public input plan, we’ll look at the results and take it back to various council and boards,” said Watson. The Transit Future open houses will be held on the bus as follows:
n Thursday, March Village Green Centre, 14, 1-3 p.m., Armstrong Vernon; n Sunday, March Odd Fellows Hall, 17, 10 a.m. to 3005 Wood 12 p.m., Super Avenue; A Foods, 2056 n Vernon Street, T h u r s d a y, Lumby; March 14, n Monday, 4-6 p.m., March 18, 9 A s k e w ’s , a.m. to 11 a.m., 3305 Smith Coldstream D r i v e , Armstrong; Amanda Watson W o m e n ’ s Institute n Friday, Hall, 9901 March 15, Road, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Kalamalka Schubert Centre, 3505- Coldstream.

Armstrong student has winning pasta bridge design Morning Star Staff
The winners of the 30th anniversary Okanagan College Spaghetti Bridge Contest turned to Rome and its famous bucatini pasta to build the winning heavyweight structure at the 30th anniversary Okanagan College Spaghetti Bridge competition. “Bucatini has four times the strength of regular spaghetti,” said second year civil engineering technology student Shawn Bliss, from Armstrong, who headed up design on the fivemember Okanagan College team along with Aaron Watson, Cody Pointner, Erik Fountain, and Glenn Watson. The team took the top prize at the Kelowna
campus of Okanagan College when their 996.24 gram bridge withstood a load of 195.99 kg (432 pounds) before it shattered in front of a packed house of elementary, secondary and post-secondary students. Bliss and his team broke with convention, but not the rules. They halved the typical number of spokes down to 62, relying on the pasta’s thickness to sustain the tension. “We spent 60 hours on it, maybe more, and pulled a couple of all nighters,” he said. Jason Jung, with Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of B.C., spent the day watching the event, including the
winning team’s performance. “What the winner did was use the same material, but configured it in a different way to handle the stress,” he said. Coming in second place was the team of Christien Issler whose 987.91 gram bridge held 162.48 kg. Third place went to the team lead by Dean Ogren, who entered with a bridge weighing 858.81 grams, and withstood 149.75 kg before shattering. In the post-secondary team competition, the winners were: 1st – Jason Lotoski from Okanagan College (bridge weighed 64.9 grams) 2nd – Deryck Irmen from Okanagan College (bridge weight 69.5
grams) 3rd – Carson Todd from Okanagan College (bridge weighed 143.5 grams) In the secondary competition, where students are challenged to build a bridge that will hold one kilogram of weight for five minutes without failing, the lightest bridge to meet the challenge wins.
Top secondary students were: 1st – James Dessert from Charles Bloom Secondary, Lumby (bridge weighed 157.6 grams) 2nd – Johnathan Halbgwachs from Charles Bloom Secondary, Lumby (bridge weighed 160.8 grams) 3rd – Christien Issler

Knights strike first Morning Star Staff
They chased the starting goalie, built up a fourgoal lead and were doing all the right things in Game 1 of their Doug Birks Division final Monday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. However, it took a Matty Saharchuk slap shot in overtime before the North Okanagan Knights could breathe easy as they iced the Sicamous Eagles 6-5 to open their best-of-seven Kootenay International Junior Hockey League series. Game 2 went Tuesday night in Armstrong, with the third and fourth tilts slated for Thursday and Friday respectively at the Sicamous Rec Centre. With 6:58 remaining in the first OT, Saharchuk walked over the blueline and ripped a slapper past relief tender Kris Joyce in front of more than 400 fans. “It’s probably the third slap shot I’ve seen him take this year,” smiled Knights’ head coach Kris Mallette, who credited Joyce for steadying the Eagles in a difficult situation. “He gave them every opportunity and they just built momentum off his strong play.” Joyce recorded 28 saves in relief of Jack Surgenor, who allowed five goals on nine shots. He stopped a trio of breakaways, including a beauty save on Knights’ rookie Colton Thibault in the final minute to send it to extra time. Dustin Nikkel recorded 22 saves for the Knights. The Knights were up 5-1 with five minutes to go in the second period before the Eagles responded.

Venom claim Okanagan Atom title Morning Star Staff
They are a work of art on the art of work and they are the Okanagan Valley Senior Atom Development hockey champions. The Valley Wood Venom shut down the H&L Glass Wolfpack 5-0 in an all-Vernon final Sunday in Penticton. Both teams went undefeated in the 18-game regular season. Jakob Jones and Lochlan O’Keefe each scored twice and Tysen Fairweather added a single for the Venom, who had Kobe Grant in net. Coletyn Boyarski bagged three assists and Cameron Moger had a pair. “Every player bought in to working hard and playing smart hockey,” said Venom head coach Sandy Moger. “Each player, in their own way, contributed to this very successful season. The players should be very proud of what they accomplished. The support staff did an excellent job in the development of these players. It was a great day for GVMHA with having two Vernon teams in the final.” Brayden Szeman supplied two snipes as the Venom grounded the Kelowna Legends 5-2 in the semifinals. Moger (1+2), Jacob Boden and Scott Gilowski completed the offence in front of Owen Swiscoski. The Venom ended preliminary play Saturday by upending Kamloops Hawks 7-1 with O’Keefe getting a deuce and singles coming from Connor Elliott, Jones, Boyarski, Gavin Medema and Moger. Connor Hansen had two helpers. The Wolfpack iced the Kamloops Nailers 7-1 in Sunday’s other semifinal. Ben King, with 3+2, Lucas Zubrod, Trevor Kennedy, Isaac Thomas and Steel Quiring led the attack. Cayden Hamming enjoyed his best start of the season with several spectacular saves. The Wolfpack picked apart the Kelowna Kings 11-2 in Saturday round-robin with Logan Chapdelaine netting a hat trick and Jaxxon Collard, Porter Treveylan and Thomas each getting a deuce. Singles went to Jacob Green and Zubrod. The H&L Glass crew then outlasted the Kelowna Hawks 6-4 in a lacklustre game. Goals came from Quiring (2), Treveylan, Chapdelaine, King and Thomas. n Salmon Arm Silvertips are off to the provincial Midget A girls hockey finals, March 17-21, in Richmond. The Silvertips, bolstered by a number of Vernon products, completed a sweep of the Kelowna Rockets in the best-of-three Okanagan final with a 6-4 win Saturday at the Capital News Centre. Vernon’ Danielle Butler, along with Brett White, scored twice for the Silvertips, who had Vernon’s Kylie Assi in goal. Lisa Campeau of Vernon and Hailey Haskell rounded out the scoring. Jenna Lazar, Molly Box, and Hannah Scherck, all from Vernon, chipped in assists. n The Sladen Moore Female Bantam A Lakers swept the West Kootenay Wildcats by identical 3-1 scores in a B.C. championship tuneup series in Trail.

The Lakers took the lead late in the second when Andie Kaneda’s feed from behind the net eluded the Wildcat tender and Jenna Fletcher went roof daddy, in tight, for insurance. After a team meal and an evening of team building with Laker assistant coach Korri Vandale, the Lakers opened the scoring Sunday when Emily Clarke went five-hole on her own rebound. Chapdelaine fired a hard shot on the ice through traffic from the point to make it 2-0. Olivia Comeau, from Makenna Southam, finished the offence.

in Sunday’s 6-0 win. He finished with 7-4-11. The Rockets placed third at 26-8-6 and host the sixth-place Valley West Hawks (19-15-6) in first-round playoff action. Games 1 and 2 go Friday and Saturday night at Royal LePage Place.

The Renegades are in the 45th annual Kamloops International Ice Hockey Tournament, starting March 27 versus Kamloops.
SilverBacks chasing single point Morning Star Staff
With the Vernon Vipers out of the playoffs, the Salmon Arm SilverBacks may be the team of choice for local diehard B.C. Hockey League fans looking for a March cheering fix. The SilverBacks hold down the fourth and final playoff berth in the Interior Conference, two points ahead of the Trail Smoke Eaters. Trail finishes the regular season Sunday against the visiting Penticton Vees. Salmon Arm visits the Merritt Centennials Friday night and face the Spruce Kings Saturday night in Prince George. Forwards Alex Gillies, Harlan Orr and Alex Jewell are Vernon products with the SilverBacks, who are coached by Enderby’s Scott Robinson and managed by Vernon’s Troy Mick. Robinson hopes to clinch a playoff spot
before the Smokies’ final game. “We don’t really want to have to watch their (Trail) game. We have to find a way to get a couple points, or technically one point. We don’t want to watch hockey (on Sunday); Trail has the tie breaker.” Orr netted his 10th goal of the season Sunday as the Gorillas erased a 3-0 deficit and clipped the Express before 775 fans in Coquitlam. Gillies, who has 21 goals and 47 points, earned three assists. Gillies and Orr each scored once as the SilverBacks bowed 6-3 to the Bulldogs before 1,400 fans Saturday night in Port Alberni. The SilerBacks won a 6-5 OT thriller Friday night in Powell River. Said Robinson: “It’s not the way you draw it up but for sure, you’ve got to think that it’s a successful weekend considering the nature of the games and the comebacks; we haven’t done that all year.”
Vernon’s Jedd Soleway registered his 19th goal of the season as Penticton held off the Smokies 5-4 in front of 1,200 fans Saturday night in Trail. Soleway has 45 points. In South Surrey, former Viper Adam Tambellini reached the 36-goal mark with two snipes as the Eagles upended the Cowichan Valley Capitals 6-2 before 1,200 fans. The Vipers visit the Cents Wednesday night before ending a second straight non-playoff season with home tilts against Penticton (Friday) and Merritt (Saturday). Vernon net detective Conor Barrie went 4-14-2-1 with the Pickering Panthers of the Ontario Junior League. The 20-year-old started the season with the Yorkton Terriers of the SAJHL (2-2) after going 6-3-1 with Surrey last year. Pickering missed the playoffs.

Vernon will host some rising provincial boxing talent when it hosts the Bronze Gloves tournament this weekend at the Recreation Complex. The two-day event starts Friday and will also feature an elite competition, including Canadian and Commonwealth champions. “It’s really a showcase for beginning talent,” said Tony Stamboulieh, who is organizing the tournament through his CounterPunch Boxing Club, which operates out of Breakaway Fitness. “We have some really great talent coming up.” There will be a pair of CounterPunch fighters, along with a trio of Vernon Boxing Club members competing in a field of nearly 70 combatants. Usman Raza (welterweight) and Jordan Johnson (light welterweight), are CounterPunch’s entries, while

Stamboulieh estimates there will be a minimum 15 bouts each day, making the $10 admission a bargain. “It’s a chance for people to get a taste of the sweet science,” said Stamboulieh, who is first vice-president of Boxing B.C. “Vernon is becoming a centre for amateur boxing with yearly events on offer.”

Bridge by Phillip Alder
MISLEAD OPPONENT WITH SUBTERFUGE Calvin Coolidge said, “The right thing to do never requires any subterfuge; it is always simple and direct.” That is true most of the time at the bridge table -- but not always. Occasionally, a little subterfuge might save the day. Can you see a devious piece of deception for declarer in this deal? South is in four hearts. West leads the club nine. East wins with his ace and returns the suit. North used a transfer bid showing five-plus hearts and zero-plus points. South used a superaccept, jumping to three hearts to promise a maximum with four hearts and a doubleton somewhere.
With three minor-suit losers, it looks as though the trump finesse had better be working. But a quick peek at the diagram shows you that it is losing. Does declarer have any chance? East, after winning with the heart king, might retain his aversity to diamonds. Then declarer can draw trumps and discard two diamonds from the board, one on the third club and one on the fourth spade. However, South has one other possibility. After winning the second trick, he should cash his third club and discard a spade from the board. Then he runs the heart queen. The finesse loses, but there is a good chance that East will shift to a spade. And if he does,

declarer is home. There are two other points. First, South has to think of that ruse -never stop considering the alternatives. And if East has a suspicious nature, it will be better to throw a diamond on the third club; then East will switch to a spade.

News Deadline nearing for contest aimed at adding math interest Morning Star Staff
Do the math and you’ll realize the deadline is looming for the Okanagan’s mathematically-inclined Grade 8 to 12 students to register for the preliminary round of the 2013 edition of the B.C. Secondary School Mathematics Contest for the region. The preliminary round takes place April 3 and the deadline for schools to register is Friday. Co-sponsored by Okanagan College and
UBC Okanagan, the contest was created in 1990 to promote an interest in mathematics at the junior and senior secondary school level in the Okanagan region. Today, 10 identical regional math competitions occur each spring through the BCSSMC. The contest is divided into two categories: juniors (Grades 8 to 10) and seniors (Grades 11 to 12). A standardized set of questions for each category, prepared by a province-wide T:10" committee of college and university math-
ematicians, will be administered to students at their school by participating teachers. Sponsor teachers will grade the contest papers with the help of an answer key provided by the BCSSMC committee. The top three to six finishers from each school will be invited to attend the final round of the competition May 3 at the Kelowna campus of Okanagan College. Finalists will compete for top honours, cash prizes, and, for the top senior, a cash
DS EN 1ST R FE RIL F O AP
prize of $200 and a one-semester tuition scholarship to either Okanagan College or UBCO, to a maximum value of $3,000. For more information about the contest, contact organizer Clint Lee at clee@okanagan.bc.ca. Copies of the contests from the last several years, with solutions, are available on the B.C. Secondary School Mathematics Contest website at http://people.okanagan. bc.ca/clee/bcssmc/

Curtis Omelchuk
Q: A:
What is Compounding?
Pharmacy compounding is the science of preparing personalized medications for patients. Using specialized equipment compounded medications are “made from scratch” – individual ingredients are mixed together in the exact strength and dosage form required by the patient. This method allows the compounding pharmacist to work with the patient and the prescriber to customize a medication to meet the patient’s specific needs. At one time, nearly all prescriptions were compounded. With the advent of mass drug manufacturing in the 1950s and ‘60s, compounding rapidly declined. The pharmacist’s role as a preparer of medications quickly changed to that of a dispenser of manufactured dosage forms, and most pharmacists no longer are trained to compound medications. However, the “one size fits all” nature of many mass produced medications meant that some patients’ needs are not being met. Fortunately, compounding has experienced a resurgence as modern technology and innovative techniques and research have allowed more pharmacists to customize medications to meet specific patient needs. At Remedy’sRx Pharmacy specialty trained compounding pharmacists and staff can personalize medicine for patients who have specific needs: This includes bio-identical Hormones, pain creams, medications that have been discontinued, unique strengths of medications that are not available, different dosage forms such as liquids, capsules, and gels. If you are having any medication problems, or you feel compounding may be appropriate, a Remedy’sRx Pharmacist would be more than happy to help. Please call us at 778-475-7600.

Q: A:
As of March 31, 2009 all home inspectors in the province must be licensed. It is not good enough for them to say they have a certificate from ABC home inspectors training, that won’t cut it. Home inspectors must be licensed with The Business Practices and Consumer Protection Authority of British Columbia. Home inspectors must publish their license number in all of their advertising, all of their contracts and reports. You have a right to ask to see their license; doing home inspections without a license carries a five thousand dollar fine. Licenses must be renewed each year. I think licensing is a good thing as it protects you the consumer as well as leveling the playing field for us as home inspectors.

Q: A:
As to detecting a reduction in your hearing range by yourself, you can’t. That is where your hearing healthcare professional comes in and why routine hearing checks are so important. If left unchecked, it is likely other people will notice changes in your hearing before you do. If your hearing evaluation reveals your hearing thresholds have diminished in the speech range, it may be time to assess how today’s technology can keep you connected to the people you love and cherish.

Q: A:
How do I know whether or not I have the right posture when strength training? Both form and technique are super important when strength training. Make sure to look at yourself in the mirror to ensure that your body is doing what you intend it to be doing. When standing, face straight ahead rather than look down. This will help ensure that your back is straight. Then think “shoulders back and down.” This gets your shoulders even and in the right position. Next, tighten your abs. This makes your core strong and stable while doing the exercise. And if you’re doing a squat movement, have a peek down at your knees... they should not overextend nor turn inwards. That’s where a Personal Trainer is worth every penny. After a hard day of work it’s a real treat to have a professional develop a program for you that will ensure that you get maximum results!

At what point should I get my hearing checked?
Your hearing should be checked routinely throughout your life. Just as we have regular checkups for dental and vision, so should we have our hearing evaluated on a regular basis. As we age, checkups become more frequent as hearing is likely to change more over the age of 50.

Q:
We are seniors and are having a hard time making our payments as our Pension income has not increased but our monthly payment expenses have. We own our home and wonder what Mortgage Options we may have to stay in our home?
A:
We have a great option for you to consider, you can choose to draw a monthly amount to supplement your pension, or you can choose a lump sum payment or you can choose to do both a lump sum and a monthly draw. With a Reverse Mortgage, you are not required to make any payments which will give you the comfort in knowing you can meet your payments, and be able to enjoy your home for many years. The money is also tax free. A Reverse Mortgage is not for everyone, but it is a great option for clients who are faced with increased expenses such as you are facing. Give us a call to get started on a confidential discussion. OAC /E&O accepted.

Q: A:
Why would I want to do a cleanse and what does it involve?
Cleansing is a way to rejuvenate our organs of elimination, give our digestive systems a break, and increase our health and energy. Many common health concerns, such as headaches, PMS, joint pain, IBS, and fatigue, can be lessened or even eliminated by doing a cleanse. Cleansing is usually focused on the liver, the kidneys and the gut. There are many ways of cleansing, but the most common and simple way is to eat a whole food, ‘clean’ diet for 2-3 weeks, and eliminate foods such as dairy and wheat products, red meat, alcohol, coffee and sugar. These aggravating foods are typically harder to digest, and require more processing by the liver and kidneys. By eliminating these foods for 2-3 weeks, we give our bodies a break and a chance to heal themselves. While cleansing, it’s also a good idea to take supportive supplements to further enhance liver, kidney, and digestive system function. Cleansing is typically recommended 1-2 times per year, usually in the fall and the spring. Naturopathic Doctors are trained to design a cleansing program tailored especially to you and your health concerns.

Q: A:
What can psychotherapy do for me?
Psychotherapy can help you understand why you do what you do, feel what you feel, and act like you act. It helps you get rid of old habits and beliefs that no longer serve you and opens the door to feelings of peace, happiness, and excitement.
You have answers to your own questions. In a safe and supportive environment, a psychotherapist uses a variety of tools and techniques to help you access your own inner wisdom. Psychotherapy facilitates turning feelings of being lost, stuck, depressed, anxious, or stressed into feelings of belonging, happiness, confidence, self assuredness and peacefulness. So, you can make positive changes in your personal, professional, or spiritual lives!
