Not guilty verdict brings relief ROGER KNOX
Morning Star Staff
Cheers and tears resounded through Supreme Court in Vernon Friday morning, as the case of a former Vernon teacher and administrator facing two counts of perjury came to an end. Upon hearing Justice Geoff Barrow declare her not guilty of both counts, Deborah Louise Ashton burst into tears and hugged her lawyer, G. Jack Harris, while up in the gallery, a dozen Ashton supporters erupted in cheers and applause. “I can say I’m relieved,” said Ashton through tears to the assembled media approximately 20 minutes after the verdict was delivered. “We’ve done our best to keep going...Jack Harris is an incredible lawyer, knows this case front and back, and he knew tone and tenor of the investigation as well. He applied himself and won this case.” Ashton was charged with two counts of perjury pertaining to statements she made in her first trial in 2011 on five counts of allegedly having a sexual relationship with a former student. That trial ended in a hung jury. A Supreme Court justice found Ashton not guilty on all five counts at her second trial in 2012. She was charged with perjury before the second trial with Crown alleging that Ashton made false and misleading statements in regards to a bracelet she allegedly bought her accuser, who cannot be named because of a publication ban, and Ashton’s claim that she always picked up and dropped off her son at day care. In his 35-minute pronouncement, Barrow said that while he did not accept some of the evidence Ashton gave during the perjury trial, he could not find beyond a reasonable doubt that Ashton knowingly made false statements or intended to mislead the court. In fact, on the second count, in regards to the day care issue which Ashton admitted during the perjury trial that her answer was

Deborah Ashton shares her relief with reporters outside of the Vernon courthouse Friday morning after being found not guilty of perjury. For a video of her reaction to the verdict visit www.vernonmorningstar.com wrong, Barrow said she could have been suffering from the stress of the accusations against her and that her marriage was deteriorating when she gave her answers in the first trial. The perjury trial started in March but closing submissions for both sides were delayed three months due to scheduling conflicts with the judge and the two lawyers. Closing arguments were given on June 28, but took most of the court time, preventing Barrow from reaching a decision. For Ashton, Friday’s verdict marked the end of five years in the court system. “There were times we felt these charges were outrageous and had
no chance of battling back against them,” she said. “It hurt because I spent most of my profession advocating on behalf of my students and my teachers.” The three court cases, she estimates, have cost Ashton more than $100,000, and – in the most difficult part for her – cost Ashton her profession: teaching. She told media she likely can’t go back into a classroom, though she is currently teaching adults to write, and tutoring students. Ashton declined to say where she is now living. What got her through the last five years, she said, was the unwavering support of family and friends.
“It’s tough to do this without crying because it’s been such a long road,” said Ashton. “What I have today is an opportunity to thank the people who stood by me right from the beginning: parents, teachers, administrative colleagues, friends from a long time ago and above all my family, who never let me down and never doubted me.” Ashton has called for more protection for people accused of crimes. “I’m the first one to advocate on behalf of minors that there must be accountability at the other end,” she said. “I understand protecting minors who have made claims

about sexual assault and I want those minors to keep coming forward. “But those people who have been wrongly accused, there is no safety net for them right now, there are few protections. If those accused can be published in newspapers prior to trial, if stories can be spun toward guilt before innocence, we have very little chance of keeping the scales of justice in a proper alignment.” Harris declined to speak to the media. Crown lawyer Don Mann of Kamloops did not attend the verdict. He was represented Friday by Vernon Crown lawyer Howard Pontious.

Audit reveals issues at hospitals joe fries Black Press
Years after a woman died as a result of a medication mix-up at an Okanagan hospital, an Interior Health Authority audit found there still exists a “moderate to high risk” to patients at its facilities. Brenda Gaida, 40, was admitted to Vernon Jubilee Hospital in July 2007 for treatment of a skin condition for which she received a drug called methotrexate. Her health deteriorated and she died three months later at an Alberta hospital. Her family claimed the cause of death was “methotrexate brain toxicity” due to excessive doses she received at VJH, according to a B.C. Supreme Court ruling issued this month, which confirmed a $440,000 judgment against Interior Health, the hospital and four doctors. The defendants admitted the drug was mistakenly given to Gaida daily rather than weekly. Issues with medication management arise frequently. In 2011 alone, IHA reported 5,306 “medication related events” to a provincial database that tracks adverse events, near-misses and hazards, according to an internal audit completed Dec. 24, 2012, and obtained by the Penticton Western News through a freedom of information request. Auditors assessed eight of the region’s largest acute care sites and found just 56 per cent compliance with “standard practices and policy,” and identified “multiple opportunities for substantial improvement,” according to the report. “In internal audit’s opinion, there exists a moderate to high risk of significant patient harm associated with the current medication management practices as observed in

An audit has found Vernon Jubilee Hospital met 60 per cent of practice standards in terms of handling medication. selected medical surgical inpatient units.” The report lists some breaches auditors uncovered, including: n Medication carts, some of which contained controlled substances, left unattended in many hallways n Six of eight sites did not waste narcotics according to policy, and some staff asked others to witness narcotics wastage after the fact n Patient identification and allergy bands at all sites were not checked prior to administration of medication n At all sites, medications were poured
into cups and not labelled, nor were syringes, with the exception of those that were pre-labelled by the manufacturer The audit cited six factors as the main causes of staff ’s non-adherence to policy, such as stress from a heavy workload, distractions and interruptions, plus facility shortcomings like space limitations and technology failures. Twelve recommendations for improvement are contained in the report, and IHA chief nursing officer Heather Cook said all are “completed or well underway at this point.”
Cook was unable, however, to quantify how much those measures have reduced patient risk. “I couldn’t even begin to identify (that). I think that anytime medications are involved, it’s never a low risk,” she said. “It’s a complex process in health care from the moment a physician determines that a medication is required, through all the steps that it takes until a medication is delivered to a nursing station and a nurse administers the medications.” The audit determined staff at VJH met just 60 per cent of practice standards. The best was Cranbrook’s East Kootenay Regional Hospital, which scored 61 per cent. The audit states that at VJH, “the best possible medication history (BPMH) was not consistently found on the chart and of those on the chart, medication reconciliation was completed for only a few patients. Pharmacy stated the delay of implementing the BPMH was due to the effort focused on opening the site’s new patient care tower.” The audit also states, “the Pyxis machines had a one machine to 30 patients ratio compared to the recommended standard of one machine to 20 patients.” Kevin Barry, who sits on the regional executive of the B.C. Nurses’ Union, noted that compliance scores were low across all sites, so “that leads me to suspect the issues are systemic. It’s not related to one facility.” He also cited a shortage of staff and an increase in the number of very sick patients as factors affecting audit scores. “In the ideal world, yes, all those standards could be followed. The problem is, in hospitals, you don’t operate in the ideal world,” Barry said.
Major decision proceeds for sports track richard rolke Morning Star Staff
A major hurdle will be taken towards a new running track in Greater Vernon. Regional District of North Okanagan politicians and staff will meet Tuesday to select a project manager for development of the sports complex next to Bob Fleming Okanagan College. “The public deserves to see some action,” said director Mike Macnabb
referring to the successful April referendum to borrow up to $7.5 million for the facility, which will include a track and sports fields. Director Bob Fleming supports having a project manager to oversee contractors and day-today construction activity. “The people on (RDNO) staff have not built a track before and with any project of that size, you need a management company overseeing the process,” he said. Project managers were used for the Performing Arts Centre, Kal Tire Place and Vernon’s library. A shortlist of four to five companies will be considered Tuesday. The site is in the Agricultural Land Reserve and
the terms of the Agricultural Land Commission agreeing to a non-farm use include construction being completed by November 2014. The goal is to begin excavation and pre-load the site with gravel this fall so actual construction of the track and fields can begin next spring. It’s expected directors will be given an update Tuesday on the Department of National Defence surveying the site for Second World War training mortars. An archeological study is also needed. By selecting a project manager, Fleming wants to send a message to residents that the facility is moving ahead. “We want to put to bed some of the issues people continue to snipe at like the location,” he said.

Cherryville Internet service delayed richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Merging on to the information highway is not quite as fast as Cherryville residents wanted. While it was announced in March that the community could get high-speed Internet service by the end of 2013, the planning process is slowly moving ahead. “It’s taking longer than we expected. We’re behind by about three weeks because of people being on holidays and other issues,” said Eugene Eugene Foisy Foisy, Regional District of North Okanagan director. “All of this takes time because of establishing easements and land transfers.”
The total cost to bring high-speed Internet to Cherryville is $300,000, with $250,000 coming from the provincial government and $50,000 from the Southern Interior Development Initiative. Individual pricing for customers to access the service is not known yet. “I’m hoping this will be an economical system for people,” said Foisy. He added that there is considerable pressure to have Internet available by Dec. 31 and he is confident that timeline can still be achieved. The current dial-up Internet has made it difficult for Cherryville businesses to connect with their customers, while children have ran into problems accessing information for school projects. Foisy said the goal is for broad-band service to bring new residents to Cherryville, increasing business opportunities and enrolment at the elementary school.

Sisters shave it off for kids camp Morning Star Staff
Two Enderby sisters are shedding quite a few inches this summer in aid of Camp Winfield. Tracy Ell, an Enderby Lions Club member, and Jackie Pearase, rural Enderby director, are raising money for the camp by shaving their heads Aug. 11. In addition to generating funds for the Easter Seals Camp, the pair, along with Enderby Financial general manager Ted Morrison, will be shorn of their locks as a tribute to John Harrison, long-time camp fundraiser and Enderby Lion who died in 2012. “John raised thousands and thousands of dollars for Camp Winfield over seven years by shaving his head and collecting donations,” said Ell. “We want to recognize his efforts, his love of children and his dedication to this wonderful organization. So we are following in his footsteps.” Harrison raised more than $2,200 in 2012 and the Enderby trio would also like to make significant donations to the camp. Camp Winfield is one of three Easter Seals camps that provide overnight summer camping experiences to children aged six to 18 with a mental and/or physical disability. The goal is to build confidence, independence and peer interaction through fun activities including a climbing wall, water polo, wheelchair basketball and more.

Is There A Dimmer Switch On Your Child’s Health? “My sister, Ted and I are simply doing our bit to make camp a reality for a few of those kids.” — Jackie Pearase
More than 800 campers attend a B.C. Easter Seals camp each season, with the camps fully subsidized by the B.C. Lions Society of Children with Disabilities. Donations, fundraising events and ongoing volunteer efforts make it possible for campers to attend free of charge. “Kids love going to summer camp and Camp Winfield gives that experience to those who might not otherwise get the chance,” said Pearase. “Having a disabled child can mean that there is no extra money for camp so it is important that places like Camp Winfield contin-
ue. My sister, Ted and I are simply doing our bit to make camp a reality for a few of those kids.” Pearase has no fear of the drastic haircut, having gone down to the wood about eight years ago in a fundraiser for cancer research. “But we have not seen my sister’s bald head since she was
a baby so it could be interesting,” she added. “We have lots of hats, though.” The Aug. 11 event includes a talent show at noon and the head shave at about 1 p.m. (go to www.eastersealscamps.ca/camp-winfield for directions to Camp Winfield). The sisters will be donating their hair, which has a combined length of about 30 inches, to make wigs for cancer patients. For more information on how to donate, contact Pearase at 250838-0466 or jpearase@ gmail.com.
Children come to our office typically because their parents are concerned about complaints like ongoing headaches, neck pain, back pain, pain between the shoulder blades, acute pain from falls and sport injuries, poor posture, or concern as to whether their child has scoliosis or some form of spinal misalignment. Did you know that most children we meet have 8 or more postural imbalances caused by specific misalignments in the spine? The spinal column is very durable, but is subject to the stresses and strains of our life, and does mis-align. These misalignments can be detected by a Chiropractor in a simple spine and posture exam. Doctors of Chiropractic train for years to detect these tiny imbalances, and its these imbalances that can put damaging stress on the vital nerves of a child’s spine. This nerve stress has been related to many health complaints. Nerve stress acts like a dimmer switch on a lamp, turning the body’s power down. Pain and dysfunction are the symptoms a child’s body expresses when the damage inside gets large enough. Chiropractors are successful at helping the body overcome these health concerns because we help correct spinal and postural imbalances, reducing nerve pressure, and allowing the body to heal itself, naturally. The most cherished part of my day is how parents’ eyes light up in amazement when they see their child overcome their health concern. It’s delightful to see how improved spinal alignment can lead to an improved ability to heal and be healthy. I’d love to help your family! Written by Dr. Elliot Lysyk, DC

It’s a boy
pparently a baby was born this past week. You might have seen it in the papers, or in the news, or on the entertainment shows or talk shows or on Facebook or Twitter..... That’s the thing about media these days, it’s everywhere and when something big happens it’s multiplied exponentially until it hits sensory overload until you finally proclaim “enough already” and you actually shut off one of your media sources, or at least turn the channel. So it’s not surprising there’s a bit of a backlash at all the coverage and some might shout out, after suffering through the media onslaught one too many times, “it’s just a baby.” Well, yes, and no. Being a father myself I Glenn Mitchell kind of think every birth is a miracle of some sort. I mean the media gets accused of sensationalizing “all the bad stuff ” these days (well likely always and forever but that is what is usually considered news), so when they celebrate what most would consider a good thing there’s an element of an unwinnable situation going on here. Still, there’s the element of degree of coverage. There’s the media herd outside the hospital for the birth, then the wait for the name and the first diaper change and the.... A lot of how you feel about this is tied up with how you feel about royalty. I mean there is that long tradition dating back to when royalty actually ran the country, not to mention the commonwealth, and a lot was riding on this little person’s head. It’s still significant as this guy’s likeness might end up on our coinage one day, either his or Charles or William’s or then again his great grandmother might just end up reigning forever and ever. So it’s Prince George. I would think the fine people of a certain British Columbia city would be quickly dream-
MitChEll’S MuSingS
ing up ways to capitalize on that fact. They can lord it over that other B.C. city named after some prince named Rupert, and then there’s Albert for that matter, or Edward (although it’s a whole island and even a province). Apparently George was a favourite going in, among traditionalists which England and the royal family have a few of, so it’s not too surprising (and the other Beatles names, especially Ringo, seemed inappropriate). And I’m OK with it, like that matters a hoot. I don’t think the world was ready for a Prince North or a Prince Moonbeam or even Prince Glenn, although that has a certain ring to it don’t you think? But I also know, as a father, that the name game thing could cause great anxiety and consternation (even years later) so when tradition takes the guesswork out of it that might be a good thing for the parents involved. And it won’t likely be the last time these parents’ hands are tied on how they raise their child. However there is a price to pay for all that privilege and standing in the world, not to mention taxpayer-funded allowances. But I do wish the new parents and baby all the best and I do know the fuss will abate in awhile for the good of all involved. I can’t help but wonder how my late grandmother would feel about all the baby hubbub of the last week or so. “I wouldn’t walk across the street to see the Queen,” I remember her saying on several occasions. She was a proud Norwegian, well Canadian really but proud of her roots and culture, and had a bit of a problem with the whole royalty on the public purse sort of thing, which I understood and sympathized with, after all we are a colony no more. But we also have a tradition and history and a love of life itself, that can all be wrapped up in the symbolism of a birth of a royal baby quite nicely if one is so inclined, so I’m pretty sure grandma would be OK with it all. She might find the coverage a bit much though.
An internal audit of eight Interior hospitals, including Vernon, certainly generates some cause for concern. Among the breaches the auditors discovered were unattended medication carts, patient ID bands not being checked before drugs were administered and medication poured into cups that were not labelled. In all of these cases, there are potential negative consequences for patients. The Interior Health Authority deserves praise as 12 audit recommendations for improvement have been completed or are in the process of being initiated. That quick action is reassuring for anyone who may find themselves admitted in hospital. However, there is always room for improvement, particularly since auditors only found 56 per cent compliance with standard practices and policy at the eight hospitals. For Vernon Jubilee Hospital, there was a compliance rate of 60 per cent, among the highest in the region. Among the apparent factors for staff’s non-adherence are workload stress, interruptions and aging and failing equipment. On top of this, the B.C. Nurses Union cites a lack of staff and more sick patients as reasons why compliance levels are low. Heather Cook, IHA chief nursing officer, says it’s challenging to quantify if the newly initiated measures have reduced patient risk, and that is fair given the fact there is always an element of risk when medication is involved. But IHA and its medical professionals need to be as open and transparent as possible about their procedures and changes being made. After all, it is only through communication that patients can feel confident about the care they are receiving.

Councillor responds to column
am writing in response to Richard Rolke’s column July 24. Mr. Rolke’s comments do not reflect the purpose of the discussion and he raises issues that require clarification. No one was critical of the work done by Search and Rescue under difficult circumstances. In fact, council was deeply concerned by events that may have hampered its abilities to carry out its work safely. I was a lifeguard for nine summers. I taught national lifeguard training courses and competed in an international lifeguard competition. At one time, I held an industrial first aid B ticket and I worked as a volunteer ski patroller for a season. I understand the issues of medical evacuation and the need for speed. The first priority is not to put emergency personnel at risk. The safety of first responders is critical to ensure success. The second priority is speed but it must be measured against safety for the patient and others. The issue arose at council because of concern that the operations of Search and Rescue personnel were hampered by activities at the launch, including
ASHTON CREEK FLOODING I would like to take this opportunity to clarify some of the comments regarding the Ashton Creek, community meeting July 13 that I organized with the assistance of some of the local residents. First of all, the meeting was put together by us with an informative and awareness format. Not to be a finger-pointing, or excuse-making situation. The main point is that the creek needs attention and it needs it now. We were very lucky this year, even given the above normal snow pack on Hunter’s Range, that the water levels in the creek remained fairly stable. There is a significant amount of debris, including trees and root clusters, not too far upstream that is just waiting for the right amount of water to carry them to where they can plug the creek or the culvert, and possibly, or more than likely, do a lot of property damage. A few residents have had issues
members of the public trying to handle their own boats while Search and Rescue was trying to deal with the situation. The Kalavista boat launch on almost any day can be the default launch and removal spot for Search and Rescue. Unfortunately, on four or five days of the year, congestion is so bad that the combination of boat traffic, vehicle traffic and beach activities make the area very difficult to navigate or control. Council wants to avoid an emergency response from becoming worse for the first responders and the public. Our goal was to have a meeting with the services involved and have open dialogue about other courses that may improve speed and safety. The first responders must make the choices and the public should be doing everything to clear the path for them. We on council can give input to help them do their job quickly and safely as partners in the process. We have children and loved ones in the community and we want to ensure emergency service have the best possible chance of doing their jobs. Richard Enns, Coldstream councillor
with the creek taking out property this year, and have had no success working with the Regional District of North Okanagan on an individual basis, so we invited our Area F director, Jackie Pearase, to attend the meeting. Upon invitation, our MLA, Greg Kyllo, and our MP, Colin Mayes, also attended, and were both quite concerned, and unaware of any of the issues with Ashton Creek. Mr. Mayes indicated to Ms. Pearase that RDNO is responsible to the residents by taking the first action, conducting a survey on the creek, and then implementing an engineer’s report on the scope of work to be done. The engineer’s report could be carried out with awareness and possible assistance from the upper levels of government. Mr. Kyllo said that he “looked forward to meeting with (Ms. Pearase) in the near future” to discuss the progress of RDNO on the preliminary studies, and after that,
would talk to Mr. Mayes, to figure out what roles the different levels of government would play in the re-construction of the creek. Both Mr. Mayes and Mr. Kyllo indicated that the financial burden is definitely not to be placed on RDNO. All in all, it seemed to be a very productive meeting, and we all anticipate the first action from RDNO. I thank all who attended the meeting. Greg Robinson DIvERT wATER A short distance to the north of us is Shuswap Lake. This watershed has 1,000 miles of lakeshore and rises four to five feet every spring. The water then drains out to the Pacific Ocean through the South Thompson and Fraser rivers. Literally, millions of gallons of water go unused to the ocean. If we were to tap into this water source near Mara and pipe or
channel a portion of this water down the defunct CPR right-ofway to Armstrong, we would have a tremendous amount of water available to this valley. It could be eventually stored in Otter, Swan, Kalamalka and Wood lakes where we would have access to clean, fresh water during the warm summer months. This resource would meet our domestic and irrigation water needs in the north and central Okanagan for generations to come. As they say in Armstrong, "think outside the box car." John Collingridge RIGHT CHOICE Regarding The Morning Star article of July 12 "Venture scrambling for site," I am pleased to see Vernon School District has decided to retain publicly owned land and buildings, to be used for the purpose they were intended for, rather than sell them off to a private, non-profit group. I'm sure many other taxpayers
would agree.

YOU AND THE LAW TAINTED HOUSES – BUYER BEWARE By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. You would think if a murder happened in a house you are looking at buying, you would have a right to be told. Wrong. It is up to you to ferret this out, along with other things that may be psychologically or emotionally important to you (perhaps even enough to turn you off a particular place) – but which do not affect the property’s soundness or functionality. The law assumes you will be prudent as a buyer if the house has obvious problems that a reasonable property inspection by a qualified home inspector would turn up. You are responsible for identifying such “patent defects.” It is “buyer beware” for cracked foundations, obvious water damage and the like.
believe it was a case of mistaken identity; it was supposed to be a targeted hit on the previous occupant who had ties to organized crime. Or, is there a known sex offender living nearby? (You may not want a convicted child pornographer close to your young children.) The types of things that can make a property “psychologically impacted” or “stigmatized” are legion – some people might be put off if the house is said to be haunted. And even if you are not put off by the fact someone may have died in the house recently, others might be, so its resale value may be impacted by the stigma.

praise to the local Park Facility Operators, particularly those on Sugar and Mabel Lakes. Cst. Dan Cocks recalls some of the many visits he made to the Cottonwood recreation site on Mabel Lake when he first started at the detachment in 2008. “Cottonwood campsite was like the wild west.” Frequent RCMP visits to Sugar Lake camp were also common years ago. But thanks to the management of park operators, as well as the courtesy and respect of campers, fewer RCMP trips are being made. “They all do a bangup job,” said Cocks. The RCMP have also played a part in getting the message across that disrespectful campers are not welcome. He recalls one week-

RCMP called in the tow company and two vehicles were towed out of the site (which is approximately 27 kilometres in from the paved road), at the owner’s expense. “They (partiers)
know it can happen and does happen,” said Cocks. With the B.C. Day long weekend coming up, campers are reminded to be courteous in all sites. “This is not the place for you if you think this is going to be a big party,” said Cocks. “It’s for families –
that’s the way it should be.” But not everyone is pleased with how local parks are being managed. There have been a number of complaints about the reservation system in B.C. Parks, particularly when sites are booked but the campers neglect to show up or cancel their reservation. “They are full, they are very popular places,” said Cocks, of the frustration campers have when there are empty sites but no one shows up to claim them. Mabel Lake was recently added to the reservation system this year, with the Monashee Loops portion of the campsite. Reservations can be made through Discover Camping.
Museum exhibits wartime legacy Morning Star Staff
While the War of 1812 is generally associated with Eastern Canada, it was also played out in the western territory. Until Aug. 31, the Greater Vernon Museum will host an exhibition called the War of 1812 in the West: the Oregon Country Legacy. “While most people think of the War of 1812 in the east, there was an event on the west coast, at Astoria, Oregon, that had a major impact on the geopolitics of what we now call the Pacific Northwest, although no battles took place,” said Ron Candy, museum curator. “The aftermath of the war and the joint occupancy of the Oregon Country by British and Americans
culminated in the creation of the boundary between Canada and the U.S. from the Rockies to the Pacific, in 1846.” Candy says the littleknown story of the episode in the west is told in the exhibition with reproductions of historic images, artist’s conceptions of various events, and reproductions of artifacts from the 1812 period. “The most surprising thing that people will learn is the origin of the Peace Arch on the border at Blaine and its connection with the War of 1812,” he said. The exhibition is from the Osoyoos Museum and it is funded by the Department of Canadian Heritage.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’d be smart not to allow yourself to be overwhelmed by details. In fact, you’ll fare much better if you make yourself look at the big picture instead of just a few brush strokes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Don’t appear too eager if someone is trying to interest you in a business proposition. It would weaken your position if you look to be too easy. Let him or her offer the opening bid. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) In an arrangement where your mate opts for the lead, it’s OK to relegate yourself to a supporting role. It’s not important who directs the show, as long as it produces mutual benefits. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Do yourself a huge favor by pushing away from your desk and getting some exercise. A stimulating activity, preferably outdoors, will be just what the doctor ordered. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Associating with some friends whose exuberance is infectious will make this a fun day. Make it a point to avoid dullards. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Although you’ll have a reservoir of strength to draw upon that will serve you well in successfully performing tedious endeavors, you’ll still need to pace yourself if you want to run the best race. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) When dealing with others on a one-on-one basis, your manner will put them at ease. If your interlocutors sense
your sincerity and concern, they’ll feel impelled to treat you similarly. ARIES (March 21-April 19) As of today, you should have some stabilizing influences starting to manifest in areas that have been disruptive lately. Relax and let these calming trends bring you some peace. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Don’t hesitate to disengage yourself from others if you need to attend to an important matter that requires your immediate attention. It’s OK to make it your top priority. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Because you are likely to require solitude to perform at your best, try to quietly slip away from others to a place that is totally free from outside interference. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Relaxed social activities with some old friends will prove to be the most pleasurable part of your day. You’re not apt to feel the same way when with newer, more casual acquaintances.

Happy 50tH anniversary
I
am in the Kootenays, specifically Crawford Bay, a small tight community on the east Shore of Kootenay Lake. For those who have never travelled this way, along Hwy #6 to the Needles Ferry and on to Nakusp, then up, up to New Denver, traversing the Monashee and the Selkirk Mountain Pat Black Ranges and then down to Kaslo on Kootenay Lake, it is a wild and beautiful drive. I drove on from Kaslo to Balfour to catch the ferry that crosses the lake in about 40 minutes, the longest free ferry ride in B.C., and arrived at Kootenay Bay some six hours after our departure from Vernon. The town of Crawford Bay is actually just down the road, about 15 minutes south of the ferry landing. This is the big weekend for this town and surrounding area as the Starbelly Jam Music Festival, a remarkable annual music festival, kicks off on Friday evening for three days of eclectic, hectic and frenetic music. Styles range from blue grass to hip hop and everything you can imagine in between with 26 different acts performing over the weekend. The event is held in a big grassy sports field in the middle of town with a large stage at one end, with the dancing area right below the stage. People then spread out in a haphazard semi circle with chairs, blankets, shade umbrellas, ice chests, and picnic hampers ready to dance and enjoy. And everyone dances, young, old, the able and infirm, sometimes for hours. It is a visual delight to watch so many people moving to the music, not caring in the least what they look like, as long as they are dancing to the beat of the music, whatever tempo that may be. There is another smaller stage for secondary groups and workshops that range from meditation and yoga to an African

Friday evening rocks on from 5 p.m. to midnight and Saturday is a full day from noon to 1:30 a.m. and then the program begins again Sunday at 10 a.m. until 9:30 p.m. It is truly a marathon of music and dance and fun. Lots of kids are in evidence dancing with their moms and dads and attending the workshops and children’s shows and participating in the wild parade held on Sunday where everybody follows the clowns and jugglers around the grounds to the music, dressed up in the silliest outfits they can find. It is truly inspiring to see how different generations can laugh and play and dance together, even if it is only for a weekend. I only attended for a short time, as the sun was too intense and there was very little shade, not good for some old folks like me, although it didn’t seem to stop some other elders who were dancing it up. Cooling down was an option with a mist tent and a revolving hose for everyone to get soaked and lots of cold clear water to fill up water bottles. And there must have been at least 50 vendors selling crafts of all sorts lining the perimeter of the field with another dozen food vendors offering fantastic choices from crepes to Vietnamese vermicelli salad. The whole area was very clean with lots of recycling and trash venues provided, and everyone respectful of keeping it that way, so unusual for a great crowd like that attending the festival. This was the 14th Starbelly Jam Music Festival, mostly produced by volunteers from the community and another very successful weekend. If you ever get a chance to attend this event don’t miss it — it is a rare and unusual and joyful communal celebration of life. They have a website www.starbellyjam.org for more information.

Healthier eating means a healthier brain Morning Star Staff

Research shows that healthy lifestyles may help reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, and/or slow the disease progress once it has begun. Adopting a healthy diet may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s directly, especially when coupled with physical activity and exercise, but also indirectly by reducing specific risk factors such as diabetes, heart disease and obesity. Here are some basic principles adapted from Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions - BC Ministry of Health Services to help you start eating healthier: 1. Eating a variety of foods. This allows the body to get all the essential nutrients it needs to function well. These nutrients include protein, carbohydrates, fats, vita-
mins and minerals. Taking vitamins and food supplements can never replace eating a variety of foods. These extras contain only the nutrients we know about. To get all the essential nutrients (both known and unknown), we need to eat a variety of foods. 2. Eating regularly and eating breakfast every day. This provides the body with the fuel it needs to function well throughout the day. Breakfast is important because it is the first source of energy for the body after a long night of fasting. Deciding how to space the meals will depend on an individual’s needs. Some people may do well with three regular meals spaced four to five hours apart, while others may need to eat smaller, more frequent meals or snacks during the day.
3. Eating the same amount at each meal. This ensures that the body has an adequate supply of energy to function optimally throughout the day. Not eating enough or skipping meals can throw your system off and lead to habits such as snacking on sweets and junk food. Eating too much can cause problems as well, such as indigestion or increased discomfort. Although it is still not possible to talk about absolute prevention, research increasingly confirms that taking steps toward a healthy lifestyle now may reduce your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia in the future.

South has three potential losers: two spades and one club. He has 10 winners: two hearts, six diamonds and two clubs. So it seems as though he needs the club finesse to work. However, South can improve those odds considerably. Declarer should draw trumps, cash his second heart winner, and cast adrift with a spade.

A GOOD SPOT-CARD IMPROVES THE ODDS Michel de Montaigne, a 16th-century French essayist who was well-known for combining intellectual exercises with casual anecdotes, said, “In nine lifetimes, you’ll never know as much about your cat as your cat knows about you.” In bridge, nines (and 10s) can be valuable cards. If your hand has several of these intermediates, as they are known, be optimistic in the bidding. In this deal, South is in five diamonds.

Enderby student up to challenge Morning Star Staff
Enderby’s Kurtis Gordey had never removed an A-pillar until he competed in the 19th Skills Canada National Competition at B.C. Place. Nor was he supposed to. Gordey and his fellow competitors went into the event thinking they were going to be repairing a damaged quarterpanel from a car. However, a parts order mix-up resulted in them working on A-pillars (the part of a car the front door hinge bolts to). The kicker was they only had six hours to complete the assignment. That didn’t stop Gordey, who is entering Grade 12 at A.L. Fortune Secondary, from trying. “I’ve never taken an A-pillar off in my life,” said Gordey. “That was a challenge to overcome when I got there. A little stressful. There were tons of people. “We had to cut off the upper frame rail and we had to drill the spot weld so we could remove that and then put on a new one.” Gordey finished fourth in the secondary division, and considering the circumstances, he had a blast — Kurtis Gordey just being in the buzzing B.C. Place environment. The two-day competition drew 500 competitors, who showcased their skills in a total of 40 trades. An estimated 15,000 spectators took in the action, which included everything from robotics to welding and cooking to aircraft maintenance. “Even being able to go was an experience in itself,” said the laid-back teen. The autobody industry is a natural fit for Gordey, whose father, Brian, runs Armstrong Collision. While he has been immersed in the business since he was a kid, Gordey is just getting into the hand-on side of autobody work. His biggest project to date has been helping his friend restore an ‘86 GMC 1500 truck at school. “I’ve grown up in the business my whole life and love doing it,” said Gordey, who learned about the competition through Ace It, a high school trades program. “There’s just something about it. I feel good doing it. “I heard about the competition and thought it sounded like a good chance to show my talent.” Gordey is already registered to take his level two in autobody work at Okanagan College for his first semester of Grade 12. He plans to complete level three after graduation, and after that, he can get his red seal and journeyman’s ticket. Gordey qualified for nationals by winning the provincial competition during the Trade-Ex Centre in Abbotsford in

Enderby’s Kurtis Gordey competes in the autobody division of the Skills Canada competition at B.C. Place in Vancouver. The event drew more than 500 competitors in 40 trades. the spring. There, he had to complete frame analysis, fender repair, welding and plastic repair, all in a certain time frame. The win earned Gordey more recognition than expected. A Vernon-based autobody shop phoned A.L. Fortune shortly after to offer him a job. But Gordey said he is happy to stick with the family business for now. One of the highlights at nationals for Gordey was listening to guest speaker Mike Holmes, host of the popular television show Holmes on Homes. “Mike Holmes pointed out we’ve got enough scientists, we’ve got enough smart guys,” said Gordey. “We just need some guys who can swing some hammers.” There are plenty of statistics to back that up. According to a 2009 Statistics Canada survey, nearly onequarter of Canadian employers said they had not managed to find the right talent to fill jobs. Of the 10 jobs most difficult to fill, the study reports that skilled trades came first, ahead of engineers, teachers and
nurses. Other Stats Can research shows industries that depend on skilled trade workers are key drivers of the Canadian economy, contributing more than 50 per cent of Canada’s GDP ($550 billion). The national competition is the major program that Skills Canada undertakes annually to raise awareness of career opportunities in the trades and technologies. “The next decade will require one million workers to fill positions in Canada,” said Shaun Thorson, chief executive officer of Skills Canada. “By showcasing a competition and interactive activities to youth, we present great career prospects to the next generation.” The competition is sponsored by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the plumbing and pipefitting industry and Cenovus Energy.

Local business shines at the Emmys Morning Star Staff
Cherryville’s Janice Lenius heard the airline attendant announce the plane’s descent into LAX, and thought to herself, “This is the biggest market of my life.” Only three weeks before, and this trip wasn’t even on the radar. Nnow Lenius and husband Travis were about to touchdown in Hollywood. Lenius, owner of Lumby’s Earth Elements Farm Products and Potion Tattoo Aftercare, was invited to showcase her products at the talent lounge of the 40th annual Daytime Emmy Awards, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in June. She was invited by Off The Wall Gifts, the company responsible for assembling the gift bags for the event. Off The Wall researches up-and-

asked to send further information and product samples. Her company was then chosen as one of 11 contributors out of the thou-
sands that applied. Dragons’ Den, the popular entrepreneurial reality show on CBC, happened to be at the awards doing a follow-
up story on another Canadian company. A conversation ensued and Lenius has since been invited to audition for Dragons’ Den in January. Of the Emmy Awards, Lenius said: “We were told to expect a slow start to the day (Saturday), and then all of a sudden, in came a flood of stars with their entourages — daytime soap opera stars, Disney children actors. It was overwhelming.” The day continued with Lenius rubbing shoulders with Hollywood stars, including Canadian Alex Trebek, of Jeopardy, and staff from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios.
“I had some nerves about how I was going to speak with these people, being such a small-town girl, but everyone was so nice,” said Lenius. Sunday was another busy day at the talent lounge before the stars proceeded down the red carpet for ceremony. “We went down and watched the whole thing,” said Janice. “Then Val Wilson tells us that she’s able to get us into the actual awards. It was like a dream. George Lucas, Betty White, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, and so many others, walked right by us.” Earth Elements is located in downtown Lumby.

More than 1.5 million B.C. residents live in residential stratas – more than a third of the province’s population – but the rules imposed by strata councils can be a dangerous minefield for new buyers. With that in mind, the Society of Notaries of B.C. has issued a top 10 list of essential tips for potential strata unit buyers to consider: 1. Carefully read through the strata’s bylaws and find out if any new bylaws are being proposed at an upcoming annual general meeting or special general meeting. 2. Parking can be contentious, so find out if the parking stalls are owned by the strata lot, or are limited common property with the right to exclusive use that can be assigned to the buyer by the seller, or are common property whose use can be re-assigned by the strata council upon sale. 3. Find out whether an engineering report has been obtained to determine any current or potential problems – if so, review the findings and ask what will be done to address problems. 4. Keep in mind B.C.’s leaky condo crisis, and discover whether there have been previous problems with water ingression in the building envelope, and whether it has been professionally remediated. 5. Ask whether major maintenance work is required in the future (eg. replacing the roof, balconies, re-plumbing, etc.). 6. Look into whether any legal action against the building or strata is in progress. 7. Find out how much money is in the contingency reserve. 8. Smoking can be an issue, so look into what you could do about an adjacent owner smoking on his or her patio or balcony. 9. Seek the advice of experienced real estate and legal professionals before you invest in a strata home. 10. Make an offer to purchase a property condi-
tional upon your notary or lawyer’s approval. Society president John Eastwood said strata councils are “local mini-governments” that administer the Strata Property Act and the strata’s own set of rules. The lower maintenance, shared amenities and relative affordability of condos, townhomes and other strata properties as compared to single-family homes offer benefits for many B.C. home buyers. “But, like any major purchase, it’s important buyers ensure they really understand the rules and regulations specific to each strata property,” added David Watts, a notary. The bylaws can include restrictions on age, pets, rentals, and other factors intended to benefit all owners, but they also impose limitations on the owners’ use of their property, Eastwood says.

GERMANY - The Scenic Emerald carries us down the Rhine River on a leisurely fifteen-day itinerary. Sightseeing in old Heidelberg on day three introduces us to one of Germany’s most beautiful cities. Our explorations begin at Heidelberg’s famous castle, perched high on the Konigstuhl hillside above the Neckar River. Only partially rebuilt since ruined by lightening, wildfire and war during the 17th and 18th centuries, this landmark displays an unexpected architectural mix. Our guide Ingrid takes us to the corner of the terrace. Identifying Church of the Holy Spirit rising above a sea of red tile roofs in the old city below. Near the castle’s entrance stands Elisabeth’s Gate. According to legend, in 1615 Friedrich V built it in a single night, a surprise birthday present for Elisabeth Stuart, his English princess. Delicate flowers entwined in whimsical leaf work on the pillars greatly impressed her — and now delight us. And inspired years later by Gingko trees in surrounding gardens,

tury, Ludwig V refortified Heidelberg Castle founded in 1214. He added this decorative, heated, well-lit library holding 1,000 medieval manuscripts, and also built that starkly contrasting Ladies’ Building for his wife and daughters!” Shifting from Gothic to Renaissance architecture, son Friedrich II created the first Hallof-Mirrors. In the large inner courtyard further along, two magnificent palaces come into view. This complex projects the wealth, power, sophistication and priorities of its monarchs. Completed about 1560, the Ottheinrich Palace represents Germany’s finest Renaissance façade. It features sculptures of Zeus, Roman goddesses known as the Virtues and includes biblical notables Samson, Job and King David. The Friedrichsbau Palace of 1607 displays decorative Baroque elements incorporating the Electors-Palatine family tree; builder Friedrich IV stands pompously above the archway among resplendent statuary honouring Charlemagne and subsequent Holy Roman Emperors. Downstairs in an adjacent cellar, we ogle the world’s largest wine cask. Made of
130 oak trees, it holds 221,000-liters when full. Intended to store taxes paid in wine, this Great Tun cask was rarely ever used. A walking tour throughout old town then takes us to Germany’s oldest university, established in 1386. In a small lane behind the University Building stands the Student Jail, a curious reminder of a renowned academic past. Between 1778 and 1914, mischievous students were incarcerated here for drunkenness, womanizing and disturbing the peace. Some impudently stripped in the University Square’s fountain, inciting arrest just to get free room and board. Serious offenses like dueling meant weeks in cramped cells. To while away time, they used candle smuts or coloured chalks to decorate walls with pictures and inscriptions, since preserved. A small University Museum and elegant Old Hall built to celebrate the University’s 500th anniversary in 1886 are located nearby. Coming to a little shop selling Student Kisses, we are charmed by Ingrid’s sweet story. “Heidelburg’s earliest café opened here in 1863, quickly becoming a favourite meet-
ing place for respectable citizens, university professors and students. Even lovely young ladies attending renowned finishing schools came for Kaffee und Kuchen…accompanied by their severe governesses. Under watchful eyes, they were unable to do more than secretly flirt with handsome students. To help them, the café’s pastry cook created student kisses. Brash students sneaked these delicious chocolate, praline-filled pastries to pretty fraulein; soon, even the strictest of governesses accepted them as well.” Beyond the city hall built in 1700, we pass student taverns steeped in traditions and hijinks immortalized in The Student Prince, a 1925 Broadway musical hit that made Heidelberg a North American household name. Coming to the Old Bridge, a cheeky brass monkey sculpture prompts several zany photos before we proceed through the gateway towers, originally part of the town’s wall. At least eight bridges have graced this site; sculptures of builder Karl Theodor and Minerva, helmeted goddess of wisdom, adorn this version constructed in 1786. Once across the river, we enjoy postcard views of the bridge, city and castle set against green wooded slopes. Some climb further along a narrow, winding pathway to Philosopher’s Walk for even more spectacular panoramas. Others locate the ruined 11th century Monastery of St. Michael and remains of an earthen Celtic hillfort at the top. Long inspiring artists and poets, Heidelberg’s magical castle, old town and university continue to reveal a splendour and romance that captivates curious history buffs like us. Chris Millikan is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Sports Vipers get down to 20 maximum Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Vipers appear to have fully addressed their surplus of 20-year-old players. Head coach/GM Jason Williamson dealt 1993-born forward Liam Board to the Georgetown Raiders of the OJHL for future considerations Wednesday. The move leaves Vernon with six 20-year-old players, the maximum allowed by the B.C. Hockey League. Liam Board Board, a Burlington, Ont. native, recorded five goals and 10 assists in 33 games with Vernon. He started the season with the Prince George Spruce Kings where he posted 5-9-14 in 23 games. The Vipers’ remaining 20s include forwards Colton Sparrow and Brendan Persley, defencemen Jason Bird, Josh Bryan and Ryan Renz, and netminder Austin Smith. Take Advantage of the heat with 2

Weddings and golf for GM
en Holland gave away his oldest daughter, Julie, Saturday in Vernon. He got a son-in-law in return which means the Detroit Red Wings’ GM may have actually broke even in the deal. Hardly like a guy many consider the shrewdest GM in the NHL. But weddings are something new to the Vernon-born and raised Holland, who credits his wife Cindi for being the wedding planner. “I just sign cheques,” laughed Holland, moments after donating a Pavel Datsyuk jersey to the Vernon Square Safeway store for their October Breast Cancer fundraiser. Holland has won four Stanley Cups with the Wings, including three as GM. Julie’s wedding ranks right up there with the Cups. Kevin Mitchell “Your kids getting born is first. We have four children and this is our first wedding. Our oldest son, Brad, is getting married Aug. 24 so it’s an exciting summer and I’m sure it will be emotional the day of the wedding.” After a family and friends gathering out at Kalamalka Lake today, Ken will pack his golf clubs for a annual trek to Bandon Dunes, an amazing Oregon resort with five world-class courses. “You get to play 36 holes a day for four or five days. I love to compete. Once you go to training camp in September, it’s hockey every day for up to nine, 10 months. “Our down time in our industry is from mid to late July until mid to late August so it’s a chance for everybody in our industry to get their batteries re-charged. One of the things I like to do is golf, I like the competition and I like the camaraderie.” Last weekend, he held his annual three-day Holland Derby up at Predator Ridge. New chief Detroit scout Jeff Finley and Vernon accountant Dave Willis carded a 21-under to win by four strokes. Before coming home to Vernon for a rest, Holland took care of business in HockeyTown, surprisingly signing Daniel Afredsson and also inking former firstrounder Stephen Weiss to a team which blew a 3-1 playoff series lead to the Cup champion Blackhawks. Holland reached out to a few agents and players in early July, including J.P. Barry, who represents Alfredsson. “For the first time in his career, J.P. Barry said Alfredsson was having serious Ken Holland conversations about leaving Ottawa, and if he did leave, we were one of the teams he would consider going to so I asked if Daniel would be interested in going on a conference call with Mike Babcock and I, and we set it up for the next day. We talked for about 45 minutes. “Obviously, we talked about the Detroit program, our goals, our expectations, and later that day, I got a call that he was seriously considering leaving and it was basically Boston or us. There’s a lot of excitement, especially amongst our Swedes. Daniel Alfredsson has a lot of respect in our game, a lot of respect with the Swedish players. “He’s a 200-foot player. He plays offence, he plays defence, he competes. Obviously, we’re bringing in a captain, we’re bringing
between the lines
a leader into our locker room.” Wings’ captain and superstar Henrik Zetterberg called Holland to express happiness over the signing. Detroit got out of the gate slowly in the compressed season and after getting blown out 6-0 by St. Louis opening night, many had them missing the playoffs for the first time in a zillion years. Holland said his core group pushed the youthful Wings and several kids had breakout years, including d-men Jakub Kindl, Brendan Smith and Jonathan Ericsson. Forwards Gustav Nyquist and Joakim Andersson also made strides and Justin Abdekader and Damien Brunner were stellar. And goalie Jimmy Howard reached all-star status. “As we go into next year, we need Darren Helm to get healthy. He’s a very important part of our team. We’ve added Stephen Weiss, we’ve added Daniel Alfredsson and we lost Valterri Filppula, who’s a really good two-way player. But we’re hoping with Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Franzen, Weiss, Alfredsson and Abdelkader, we can have the makings of two lines that can score. “Last year, we were probably counting on one line and if Zetterberg and Datsyuk didn’t do it, we didn’t have that consistent second line scoring. So hopefully, we can get more secondary scoring and with the development of our kids, we’re optimistic going into the 2013-2014 season.” The Wings’ AHL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins, won the Calder Cup with the likes of Czech world junior goalie Petr Mrazek and young guns Landon Ferraro and Riley Sheahan. Holland doesn’t see any superstars on the way, but guys with the chance to be solid NHLers. Also in the mix are second-round 2011 draft Ryan Sproul of the Soo Greyhounds, Xavier Ouellett of Team Canada juniors and WCHA d-man of the year Nick Jensen. The Wings are competing while rebuilding behind the scenes. And Vernon men are go-to-guys in the process with Holland’s summer resident neighbour Tyler Wright just signed as Detroit’s new director of amateur scouting after years with Columbus Blue Jackets. Wright replaces Joe McDonnell, who left for Dallas to join longtime Wings’ assistant GM Jim Nill, now the Stars’ GM. Vernon minor hockey grad Jeff Finley moves up to chief amateur scout, while Holland’s former Vernon junior teammate Marty Stein will now scout full-time after retiring from teaching. And Vernon summer houser Chris Osgood remains as a goaltending development coach. “When somebody leaves, it’s a chance for somebody else to have bigger responsibility and grow. I think that’s how you create good people. For the most part, it’s done internally,. We reached out and went outside the organization to add Andrew Nixon, a full-time scout, and Tyler Wright.” Holland also has retired and cherished Wings Kris Draper and Chris Chelios in the office. He expects to give them more duties next season. The Wings will dress just one d-man in their 30s after a season where they finished fifth in goals against. Holland wants more of a transition game for additional offence. Smith, who posted 52 points in his last year of college at Wisconsin, will soon get the green light to produce points. “We’re overhauling it now. I wish we had Nick Lidstrom back, but we had 20 incredible years with Nick Lidstrom and again, it’s somebody else’s time.”

The Okanagan Rockets have added David Whistle to their coach staff as an assistant for the upcoming B.C. Major Midget Hockey League season. Whistle, 47, played 28 games in the CHL, including 13 games with the Brandon Wheat Kings before attending Brandon University and playing four years for the Bobcats. His career then saw him play pro in England for seven years. He also spent two years
coaching in the English league and is in the British Ice Hockey Hall of Fame. The Sudbury native was head coach of the BCHL Alberni Bulldogs in the 200607 season. “I’m excited for the opportunity to join the Okanagan Rockets and work with Mack O’Rourke,” said Whistle. “He’s a great young coach and it will be enjoyable to work with him in the development of this year’s team.”
Rockets’ GM David Michaud, on the appointment: “Dave is a proven developer of talent, not only in the Okanagan, but around the world. Adding him to our staff is a tremendous gain for our program and our players who will have the opportunity to learn from one of the best.” The Rockets are hoping to build on a season which saw them fall in the third and deciding game of the championship series to the Vancouver
NW Giants. As is the case each season, the Rockets are looking to replace several key players from the 2012-2013 squad. The Rockets will say goodbye to three of their top five scorers from last season, including Josh Blanchard (Penticton Vees). The Rockets will host their annual evaluation camp from Aug. 8-11 at the Capital News Centre in Kelowna. Deadline to register is July 31. Visit www.bcmml.net to sign up.

Timber take down Tirecraft Morning Star Staff
North Enderby Timber shelled Peters Tirecraft/Concept Physio 7-1 in North Okanagan Soccer League make-up play Friday night at Marshall Field #4.. Tirecraft played a man down and NET in a game shortened due to a bloody nose. Brodie Couch opened the scoring for NET on a through ball. The Timber continued to pass the ball around and added goals by Harminder Sandhu on another feed from midfielder Sean Lister. Tyler Loose converted on a rebound before a longshot deflection ended up an own goal for Tirecraft. The brief second half saw Sandhu connected on a howitzer from inside the 18 and add an assist to Brent Poulsen, who finished with a hat trick to round off the 11-3-1 NET offence. Lister supplied a handful of assists and controlled the NET midfield for the On the Roxx Man of the Match. Tirecraft dipped to 2-11-2. Turn-Key Controls entertain the Revelstoke Stallions tonight (6:00) in a make-up game at Marshall #5. The Controllers shut down Seasons in the Okanagan Sistas 4-0 in Masters women’s play Friday night at Marshall #5. Diane Neudorf broke loose several times for the shortstaffed Sistas to threaten the Controllers’ shutout. Tammy Buick and Wendy Horner were aggressive on outside half for Sistas, while Suzyn August displayed smarts and courage in center mid along with Andrea Zubot. Bridget Frick and acrobatic Sherry Wiebe held central defence along with Darlene Toews and Lesley Williams on the outside. Wendy Nadeau frustrated the Controllers with her confidence and consistency in net. Michelle Wernicke belted one in from about 25 yards out for the Controllers’ only second-half goal. Rosters Sports Pub won two straight for the first time this season with a 2-1 victory over the Shuswap Merlot Thursday night at Marshall #5. Jody Swartz made a dazzling rush up the side and passed it into the middle to Felicia Musa, who found Becky McLennan in front of the net for the tap in and a 1-0 Rosters lead. The Merlot had trouble getting any shots as speedsters Denise Bateman, Georgina Harmon and Michelle Muholland shut them
down with authority. The Shuswap ladies levelled the score on a penalty shot, but Rosters countered with a textbook cross by Lisa Fogel that found McLennan waiting at the far post for another tap in. McLennan was named Carl’s Jr. Lady of the Match. Another handball inside the 18 set the scene for Merlot to tie it up, but keeper Karen Benn made an unbelievable diving save to the corner to deny the goal. Rosters got bold efforts from Peggy Warnes, Jen Funk, Tina Pelleboer and Tori Feser (shaking off the rust). In Division 2 play Thursday night, the Green Rockets brushed back the Chick Kickers OMG 4-2 at Marshall #4. Keeper Rachel Cross was sensational for the Rockets, who received goals from Anna Clarke, Sam Audley, Casi Stanley, and Lindsay Smith. Kim Lewis had a couple of nice breakaways and Shantelle Price was the Rockets’ Energizer Bunny. Centerline Attack shaded Capri Insurance 4-3 in other Division 2 play. Celine Conley (2), Jodi Hawthorne and Emily Sapsford handled the Centreline attack with Conley and Kris Ponto sharing goalkeeping duties. Fans from Austria came to cheer on Centreline with Christine Beham enjoying a marvellous game with her family Phillip and Stephanie on the sidelines. Dutchie Jenne Huberts pulled the hat trick as Kal Tire grounded Kelowna 7-2 in men’s 50+ action Thursday night at Marshall #3. Huberts, named the Amsterdam Cafe Man of the Match, also parachuted a feed to Jim McEwen for a gorgeous header. Roger Irving recorded the first-half shutout and then played up front and scored twice in the final half. Kevin Mitchell picked off a low goal kick by Dwight Folk and scored from 25 yards out. Johnny Ugyan scored for Kelowna, who got an own goal when Kal Tire defender Rob Parkin put a long cross, intended for Gordie Campbell, in off the far post. The Tiremen are 12-3. The Silver Stars drew 3-3 with host Winfield at Beasley Field with John Matejka, Wayne Fowler and an own goal providing the offence.

As part of the English Channel challenge the Okanagan Lake Monsters are taking on, the five swimmers are also working to ensure local kids have a sporting chance. The Lake Monsters (from the Okanagan Masters Swim Club) are swimming across the English Channel this week as a relay team. To give back to the community, the team is raising funds for the YMCA’s Y Strong Kids Campaign which enables children and families to participate in sports. Donations can be made in the Lake Monster’s name at www.ymcastrongkids.ca/aboutymca-strong-kids/ The OMSC Lake Monsters consists of Canadian Masters record holder Mike Stamhuis (recently featured in The Morning Star), Phred Martin, Denise Cesselli, Tracey Sutton and Leora Dahl. They have been working on an extensive training regime preparing themselves for what could be a very cold swim. No wet suits are allowed. When asked about his training schedule Martin said: “I am currently swimming 12 times a weekabout 30 km in total – between the pool, Okanagan Lake and the Kettle River. At this point, our training is about endurance and getting mentally fit for the Channel.” Their coach, Brent Hobbs, swam across the English Channel solo in 2008, and to this day, is one of only three British Columbians to successfully complete the race. “Having swum the Channel, I know how important it is to prepare physically and mentally for the challenge. I was able to draw on this experience to help the OMSC Lake Monsters prepare for the rigors of swimming long distances in really cold water, and to do so in rough ocean conditions,” said Hobbs. “However, what I am most impressed with is how the OMSC Lake Monsters have come together as a team. Each of them has experienced some adversity on their journey, such as succumbing to hypothermia, exhaustion and injuries. They have really supported each other, and I believe that this, above all else, will get them through to France.” The team will be swimming across the English Channel as conditions permit this week. The swim starts in Dover, England and finishes near Calais, France. The span of the Channel at this point is 35 kilometres as the crow flies but strong ocean currents and tides could push the distance to over 45 kilometres. Okanagan Masters Swim Club is for adult swimmers 18 years of age and up.

Windmills loving the rodeo way cara Brady
Morning Star Staff
It all started with a gift horse. Within a year the Windmill family had six horses and the four daughters were competing in youth rodeo events around the province. “It was pretty exciting to have the horse and to ride bareback,” said Celeste, 17, who was five at the time they got the first horse, Ginger. A friend suggested they try Little Britches Rodeo for youth ages three to 15, where the events are modified versions of what takes place in adult rodeo. Parents Paul and Elizabeth Windmill were comfortable with horses — he was a horse logger at the time and she was a riding instructor and they enjoyed introducing their girls to the horse world. They all learned about rodeo together and spent a lot of time training animals on their Lavington acreage and learning the necessary skills. Rodeo is based on the skills used on working ranches and at a youth level includes events in barrel racing, pole bending, breakaway roping, team roping and shooting. One of the events children start with is goat tying, which is jumping off a moving horse to catch and tie a goat’s legs in the shortest time possible. Eight seconds is a winning time now. They learn goat-tying by practising on goat tail tying, putting a ribbon on a goat’s tail. All the skills are learned safely in small steps. The kids practise the goat tying on their own feet at first. Learning roping is done with a dummy, a fake horned head on a bale of hay at first. The horses, goats and cows are also trained to work with young people. The Windmill family now raises goats and horses for competition and has all the training facilities at home so the girls can get in as much training as possible. Older sisters Betsy and Abigail are married now but retain their interest in horses while Evangeline, 21, won a scholarship to Lakeland College in Vermillion, Alta., to study agriculture this fall and she will be taking her horse and equipment to be part of the college rodeo team. She used other rodeo competition winnings to attend Bible college in Guatemala. “Rodeo has taught me a lot. When you get off your horse and get a face full of dirt, you get up and compete anyway. It’s about persevering and keeping learning,” she said. Celeste also kept competing through high school — all of the sisters were home schooled — fitting her training around her studies, often taking homework to rodeo competitions. She was BC High School Rodeo Miss Congeniality 2012-2013 and finished her rodeo year in Quesnel in June. There are north and south

Twenty-four in each division make it to the finals, with the top four going on to nationals with competitors from Canada, the U.S. and Australia. Evangeline and Celeste made the 30-hour drive last year to the nationals in Wyoming. “This a family thing. You can’t do it without your parents,” said Celeste, who wants to be an interior designer. She is going to teach English at a mission site in Germany in the fall and hopes to get in some riding there. “My older sisters always inspired me to do better. I always wanted to be like them. It’s a lot of work but it’s worth it when you achieve your goals. I know there will always be horses in my life in some way.” The sisters are also entrepreneurs as certified instructors, and Evangeline as a farrier and trainer and Celeste with Celestial Photography. “Paul should be here to brag about his girls. He loves to brag about his girls,” said Elizabeth, who teaches in her business, Sunshine Riding. “We are happy that we chose this sport that we could all do together. The girls have learned a lot and they are so friendly and easy to get along with. We’re very proud of them. We’re going to keep involved with youth rodeo and do more horseback hunting and camping. Paul would like to get back to horse logging and we’ll keep raising horses. We love the lifestyle.” The Windmills are volunteers with the Little Britches Rodeo taking place Aug. 10 and 11 at the IPE grounds in Armstrong. All events are free to spectators. For more information, call Elizabeth at 250-558-1083.

Sunsets on show at Allan Brooks Morning Star Staff
Visitors and residents alike are invited to escape the heat on an evening visit to the Allan Brooks Nature Centre. The centre will open its doors for evening sunset viewings every Tuesday and Wednesday starting this Tuesday until Oct. 1. “From 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., all those interested in nature, sunsets, and incredible sweeping vistas are invited to come to the top of Mission Hill to take in the sights and sounds of the Okanagan at dusk,” said Aaron Deans, executive director of the Allan Brooks Nature Society. Also starting Tuesday at 7 p.m., the Summer Sunset Series presents Ellen Rogers, artist-inresidence at the Caetani Cultural Centre who is working primarily on site at Allan Brooks, in a partnership between the two groups. Rogers, a sculptor from New York state, is the first speaker in the Fresh! AiR artist series. “Sunset talks will include a range of topics of local interest, from bird watching in the Okanagan to humanwildlife conflicts,” said Deans. Rogers is a former veterinarian who has worked with elephants, lions and rhinos in Africa. Her sculptures
are inspired by her fieldwork in Africa. Her talk will discuss her past experiences and how they relate to her current works. “During her onemonth residency, Rogers’ goal is to build sculptures and installations that visually tie together the interconnectedness of people and nature,” said Susan Brandoli, manager and coordinator of the artist-in-residence program at the Caetani Centre. “The sculptures will be displayed for the public, and she will donate a sculpture to the residency. “Thanks to Aaron Deans and the Allan Brooks Nature Centre for providing endless studio space for Ellen Rogers and subsequent Fresh! AiR artists.” The larger sculptures are currently being installed on the grounds of the Allan Brooks
Nature Centre. The public is invited to visit her on-site during the centre’s regular hours. Rogers is a recent MFA graduate from the Visual Studies Department at the University at Buffalo, as well as an alumnus of Harvard and Tufts University. Prior to becoming an artist, Rogers earned her bachelor’s degree at Harvard and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree at Tufts Veterinary School. Awarded the African Wildlife Medicine and Conservation Fellowship, Rogers trained in South Africa working hands-on with animals there. During this time she was filmed for the 13-episode documentary, The Great African Wildlife Rescue, produced by Disney and shown on Animal Planet Channel and the
Disney International Channel. Rogers taught at Tufts and wildlife conservation medicine courses in South Africa and appeared as an on camera expert on the Discovery Channel TV series, Animal Face-Off. Guests of the Summer Sunset Speaker series are encouraged to bring cameras and tripods to capture the views, as well as blankets and lawn chairs. Family-friendly refreshments, cookies, and ice cream will all be available for purchase at
the nature centre. Free parking is readily accessible, and parking for those of limited mobility will be available at the upper level. Admission is by donation. The Allan Brooks Nature Centre is at 250 Allan Brooks Way, off Mission Road, just above the army camp. For more information, call 250-260-4227 or see www.abnc.ca. For more information on the Caetani Cultural Centre, see www.caetaniculturalcentre.org or call 250275-1525.

Leave Wildlife Alone It’s that time of year when our caring nature interferes with the natural course of wildlife. People find young animals with the assumption that they are abandoned when really they are not. Usually, these animals have not been orphaned, but are waiting on their parents to return. Often the parent is present but unseen. As long as we are about, they will not present themselves. Female deer will hide their fawns in high grass and leave them while feeding in the surrounding area. After one month of age the fawn will join the doe in their daily travels for food. Young birds go through a tough period when they have outgrown the nest. Initially to us it appears as though they have fallen out, but in reality, they have done this on purpose, and are ready to learn how to fly. The parents remain nearby and continue to feed them on the ground. Once they become proficient at flying (3-4 days) they are on their own. Survival of all young wildlife is unrealistic. That is nature. It is important to remember that young fox, coyote, bobcats, hawks, owls have to eat as well. Although it may seem cruel, it is best to let nature take its course and leave young wildlife alone. If they are clearly injured you may intervene and seek veterinary aid or advice.

to do good in the world; working together, these volunteers accomplish so much. Portuguese sailors in 1542, blown onto Japan by strong winds began what turned out to be 500 years of a peaceful and prosperous relationship, the two nations never having been at war with each other. Lisbon is A Harbour For Peace, peace being the theme of this 2013 convention. Under President Tanaka’s leadership, three Peace Forums were held in Berlin, Hiroshima and Honolulu.
The Rotary Club of Vernon has adopted a mascot called Andrew, named after our lawyer member who has been known to monkey around. The plan is to take Andrew to other clubs, and where feasible, the other club is obliged to make a return visit to the Vernon club for a bit of fun and fellowship. Accordingly, one of our members attended the annual Rotary convention this year held in Lisbon, Portugal and packed Andrew in his luggage. Not being sleepdeprived as opposed to his handler, Andrew was impressed by his first convention, the 2013 June 23 - 26 RI Convention in Lisbon.

This summer has been a doozer for the small but vibrant Armstrong Rotary Club. First, serving an outdoor breakfast to about 200 Good Sam Club members spending the weekend at Armstrong; two weeks later the Rotarians hosted the City of Armstrong’s Homecoming 100 four day celebrations.

Kalamalka Ivy Strother, a Rotary Youth Exchange student, has just returned after a year living with host families and attending school in Leknes, Norway. At the same time, Teresa Aliaga, from Pecallpa,Peru, lived and went to school here in Vernon. Both were sponsored by the Kalamalka Rotary Club. They were selected to participate in the Youth Exchange programs, to learn a new way of living, a great deal about themselves, and a new language. They were excellent ambassadors, teaching people about their country, culture, and ideas. As a result, they helped to bring the world closer – and make some life long friends in the process. Low costs Rotary club volunteers administer the program at the local level, which helps keep costs low for students and their families. These volunteers offer years of experience with students, host families, and fellow Rotarians who are involved in the program.

a Rotary Athletic Awards celebration to recognize our local high school athletes. Our goal is to recognize top student athletes in Vernon, Armstrong, Lumby and Enderby. Athletes will be recognized for their success on the field or the court, as well as their achievements in the classroom. Male and female athletes who participate in soccer, volleyball, football, basketball, track and field, and rugby will be nominated by their coaches. Winners will be selected by a committee made up of members from the four area Rotary clubs.
Rotary is expanding its focus on youth! For the past several years Vernon area Rotary clubs have sponsored foreign exchange students and sent local youth to weekend leadership retreats. In addition to sending students to countries around the world, the Vernon area clubs also host students from a multitude of foreign countries. In May of each year, three to six young adults, ages 19 – 24, receive tuition as well as room and board for a four day leadership development retreat in Naramata. Participants in the program come from across BC and the state of Washing ton. Instructors have extensive leadership experience. Beginning in 2014, the four Rotary clubs Rotary exchange student Lukas Viebahn in Vernon and from Germany (Seaton #21) battles VSS’s Armstrong will Isaiah Hennessey for a rebound during the be sponsoring 2012 basketball season.

Crash land on this wild romp in the woods
B
efore I start on the crazy adventure that is Caravan Farm Theatre’s latest summer production, Head Over Heels, I have some important advice: Go to the bathroom first! It’s important to avoid any accidents as you will laugh, hard, at the antics of this warped, gender-bending tale of unrepentant love in all its facets. The play is a hoot and has the unmistakable imprint of its writer, actor/playwright Peter Anderson. It was 35 years ago that Anderson hitchhiked from California to B.C. to join the then horse travelling theatre company that eventually found a permanent home on a farm in Spallumcheen. Anderson has since written six plays for Caravan, as well as written/co-written/ acted in a few others you may be familiar with: The Number 14, The Overcoat, Kristin Froneman The Emperor’s New Threads... Here, he let’s his imagination go wild. Think Lost, without those dreaded “numbers”; Planet of the Apes, sans the apes, and replaced with some randy humans and a gorgeous Clydesdale, and The Love Boat, but instead of l’amour found aboard a cruise liner overseen by Capt. Stubing, here you have a bunch of ecstacy-driven fanatics who have crash landed in some unknown wilderness. Yes, wild, and that goes for the sexual innuendo that is rather rampant here. While adults should “wink, wink“ at it all, most of it will fly over the heads of kids, at least those who stay off the Internet. The play starts with a sonic boom heard overhead and then disappears into the woods beyond in a cloud of dust. Out runs a girl from the wreckage, wheeling her suitcase (as if she’d remember to bring along her underwear after crash landing in the woods), with no idea of where she is. Oh, and her twin brother has gone missing and is presumed dead. The wonderful absurdity of Head over Heels goes from there as we are introduced to some of the wildest characters to ever invade Caravan (at least in the 13 years since I have been covering their shows.) The lost girl, Oola (the lovely and sane Jennifer Paterson), encounters Harquevari, the bag lady of the woods (a fantastic turn by Elinor Holt), whose horse, Shopping Cart (Jason, the aforementioned Clydes),
TheaTre review
never steals her thunder. Harquevari warns Oola of the tempestuous owner of all the land, Lividia Swann (a ballsy, if I may use that word, turn by Hannah Miller), who is still mourning her deceased husband and is unwelcome to the attention or affection of anyone else. To avoid a woman-on-woman confrontation (or a cat fight, if you will), Harquevari gets Oola to disguise herself in her missing brother’s clothes, and well, you can imagine the crazy antics that ensue. Now known as Yves, with a Mario Bros. duster on her lip, Oola meets a familiar face in Vivian Bandello (played with amorous gusto by Mike Wasko) who happens to be head over heels in love with Lividia. Vivian can’t get anywhere near the grande dame of the forest because of her overzealous security guard, Belleforest (hail to thee, Christopher Hunt), so he sends in Oola/Yves to deliver a love letter. Adding to the fun is Lividia’s uncle, Throb (welcome back the beloved Martin Julien), who hits on Lividia’s flight attending aide Louise McGhee (the always wonderfully expressive Manon Beaudoin) almost as much as he hits the bottle. These two scheme to bring a new lover into Lividia’s life, and let’s just say, it includes a high octane laugh factor in a pair of pink skivvies. Like I said, go to the bathroom first. Another accident waiting to happen comes in the form of Throb’s other accomplice, a dweeb wearing yellow parachute pants. Named Inkling (where did you come from Colin Doyle? And please come back), this guy gives Where’s Waldo a run for his money as he attempts to hit on everyone he sees, rather blindly I must say. Oh and Oola’s brother Oli (the beautifully deadpan Josh Drebit) also shows up wandering aimlessly and amorously through the forest. Can you see where this is leading, yet? Ah, go see the play then. Director Courtenay Dobbie couldn’t have picked better actors for her cast. The physically-inclined ensemble dashes over suspended bridges, up and down stairs made of left behind suitcases, up a tree fort that would be any kid’s dream, and down a fireman’s pole, all while dancing, laughing, singing and pounding the stuffing out of each other. Adding to the amazement is set designer Marshall McMahen and the Caravan crew who have built an incredible stage, which includes the wrecked fuselage of a plane turned into the Copacabana, and prop and set pieces carried in by air traffic

It’s rather genius. Then there’s the memorable tunes (written by Dobbie and Ajineen Sagal) sung in harmony by cast members and with immense skill by Kim White on guitar and banjo, Julie McIssac on violin and oboe, and Sarah May Redmond on accordion.
This is a summer night’s dream that you’ll fall head over heels in love with. The play continues at Caravan Farm Theatre nightly (except Mondays) at 7:30 p.m. until Aug. 25. For tickets and information, visit the Ticket Seller at www.ticketseller.ca or call (250) 549-7469.

Council launches new projects
Morning Star Staff
The Arts Council of the North Okanagan (ACNO) has announced two exciting projects taking place at the Vernon Community Arts Centre (VCAC) this summer. The first is a new youth artist-in-residence scholarship. The first recipient, Joshua Wallace, has received a bursary and a studio at the VCAC this summer, and will be exhibiting his work at the centre in a month-long exhibition in September. “We are thrilled to launch the pilot project this year, and will be looking forward to expanding the program and partnering with other local arts organizations next year,” said VCAC executive director Lynne Gayan. “The arts council recognized the need for a program to support young artists and developed the youth artistin-residence program to provide emerging artists living in the North Okanagan, between the ages of 18 and 25, the opportunity to explore, improve and further develop their artistic skills and style.” Besides the free studio space for July and August, bursary for materials and equipment, and exhibition, presentation or performance at the end of the residency, the artist also receives promotion and publicity. For more information about the program, call Gayan at (250) 542-6243 or e-mail LGayan@shaw. ca The VCAC is also undergoing a major transformation over the summer in the creation of an indoor/outdoor multimedia mural. A grant from the B.C. Winter Legacy Fund has enabled the ACNO to move forward with the project that has lead artists Gale Woodhouse and James Postill combining their artistic talents and styles. The outside mural is being painted by Postill in a fresco-secco style and will be the first public mural of its kind in the Okanagan, and possibly the province, said Gayan. The interior, by Woodhouse, will be a clay relief mural/donor wall that will incorporate glass, metal, stone
and fibre throughout the work. Youth will make stamps that will be included in the mural. “The mural project is designed to reflect community involvement, support and participation – exactly what the Vernon Arts Centre is,” said Woodhouse, adding the mural will incorpo-
rate what is offered at VCAC and have a mixture of organic elements, reflecting the geographical setting of Polson Park. The public is invited to visit the VCAC and meet all the artists. The ACNO will officially unveil the mural Sept. 26 at its Council Crash event.

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist chris shideler
steroids often get bad press but there is a good side to them. Our bodies normally make steroids to build cholesterol which produce hormones like cortisol, made by our adrenal glands and is important in energy and immune functions. Other steroids regulate our fluid and electrolytes. Our sex hormones, like testosterone and estrogen are also steroids. steroids are also used legitimately to treat diseases like asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis and gout. short courses of steroids are used to treat allergic reactions that might cause obstruction of the airways and they can bring a quick and dramatic relief of symptoms. it is the negative sides of steroids that we hear about in the media. some body builders and athletes use them as performance enhancers and they can cause serious side effects like cataracts, osteoporosis, immune system suppression, confusion and mood changes perhaps with hallucinations. Kidney failure, blood clots, stroke and shrinking of the male testes also can occur. For standard medical problems, doctor oversight of the use and dosage of steroids is very important. however, using them for body enhancement is not a good idea and should definitely be avoided. it takes five years to become a pharmacist. in that time, we learn much about drugs and their uses. We’d be happy to share that knowledge with you.

d and Lorraine Warren are famous American paranormal investigators. Lorraine is a medium and Ed was the only non-ordained demonologist recognized by the Catholic Church. They began operating the New England Society for Psychic Research in 1952, but didn’t really become celebrities until the early ‘70s, when they were involved in the Amityville case, which of course was a particularly popular story of one family’s torment living in a haunted house. The Warrens were involved in several other famous American ghost stories, as well as exorcisms. They also operated a haunted museum out of their house. Ed died in 2006 but Lorraine is still active
Reel Reviews
Taylor and Howe
in the ghost hunting community and has appeared on most of the paranormal investigation shows you see on TV. In 2009, the film A Haunting in Connecticut was about another Warren case. The Conjuring follows the case of the Perron family, which is an as of yet untold tale of a married couple with five daughters who move into a (surprisingly affordable) rural home, which of course, is haunted. The Perrons’ torment reaches the point where they seek the help of the Warrens and they get it, but not before scaring the hell out of theatre-goers. We say, “It’s the scariest thing we’ve reviewed.” TAYLOR: I love this
movie. The tale isn’t that different than any other haunting, even similar to movies I hate, like any of the Paranormal Activity films. The Conjuring, however, has style. It’s extremely well crafted: taut, sparse, simple and creepy. There are plenty of jumps, which I consider cheap, but there are also several moments
that made my blood run cold. It’s difficult to describe the success of the scares in the film without either spoiling your fun or sounding silly. I think it’s the product of excellent direction that makes something as banal as a bouncing ball, terrifying. It takes a lot to scare me and even more to impress me, this

film does both. HOWE: I was very impressed with The Conjuring. To me this is the scariest movie we have had to review in the last year and a half, maybe go as far as saying the last 10 years. It didn’t make me jump as such, but just the way it was shot got my heart racing good a few times, especially in the dark eerie areas. It’s one of those movies that you don’t see many trailers for, or if you do, doesn’t look that appealing. Then when you do watch it, it just knocks your socks off. Excellent. TAYLOR: I feel I should mention that I was extremely disappointed with the ending. Yet the rest of the movie was so good that I can forgive it. I’ll deduct half a point for an ending that is too abrupt and too tidy. However, on the whole, The Conjuring is a film full of great scares, well acted, excellently captured and a “true” story to boot. (I put “true” in quotation marks because, although the investigation of the Perron family actually happened, we have no way of knowing if the conjuring did.) Personally, I don’t care. Great film. — Howe gives The Conjuring 4 toy monkeys out of 5. — Taylor gives it 4.5 antique pianos out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Lillian was born in Buderheim, Alberta to Andy and Karol Grossman. She was one of eight children, Įve girls and three boys. Lillian was predeceased by her siblings: Fred, Henry, Bill, lsie, Violet, and Adeline. She is survived by her one remaining sister, Dolly Cogill of dmonton, Alberta. Lillian lived most of her life down in the Vancouver area before moving to the Okanagan in the late 1980͛s. She worked for many years at Gold͛s Fabrics on South Granville Street where she was manager of the noƟons department. Lillian always enũoyed gardening and spent many hours outside tending the vegetable or Ňower gardens. She seemed to be most happy working in the soil and being in the fresh air. Hobbies were something she did throughout her life. Sewing, she was an excelent seamstress, Branjilian embroidery and in more recent years, PiƋue AssieƩe (chipped china mosaic) creaƟons. Lil created many beauƟful pieces that she either gave as giŌs or that she donated to the Armstrong and Spallumcheen Health Care Auxiliary to be sold in the store.
