Locals pitch products on Dragon’s Den ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

One North Okanagan man stood before the Dragons and pitched a waste compactor.

Another came before the Feared Five and introduced them to a product designed to help fruit growers.

You can see how things turned out for both men on the popular CBC-TV show Dragon’s Den on the same episode this Wednesday.

The Dragon’s Den features would-be entrepreneurs pitching a product to the Dragons, a group of five individuals, and asking the Dragons to invest their money in

You have to tune in Wednesday at 8 p.m. to see.

“Overall, I’d rate the experience a 10,” said Hanson, who is president of Modern Waste Products, a company based out of Woodstock, Ont. “It was excellent, I really enjoyed it. I was nervous up to the point I walked down the stairs, then I felt at home.”

“The taping went really well,” said Hanson. “I did about a 40-minute-long presentation.

You have your presentation all worked out, but as soon as you start in they fire you questions and get you off track from what you were planning on doing.

From there you’re on your own answering their questions.”

Schools breaking mental health stigma Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

For those who have never personally dealt with a mental illness, or helped a loved one through it, it’s difficult to know what to do or say to help.

“There’s often perceptions that he or she just needs to work harder,” said Dave Mackenzie, Clarence Fulton Secondary counsellor.

“But we wouldn’t say that to someone who has asthma. Ultimately they’re not well.”

To help students, parents and the community better understand mental health and reduce such stigma, the Vernon School District has planned events for Mental Illness Awareness Week, Oct. 6 to 12.

School-wide assemblies will take place and there will be a free public presentation Tuesday from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Vernon Recreation Complex.

“We need to be talking about this as much as we talk about any other illness,” said Mackenzie. “The more conversations we can have the less stigma we will have.”

Helping with the message will be youth from the Mood Disorders Association of B.C., suicide prevention speakers and comedian Big Daddy Tazz (thanks to funding from the Canadian Mental Health Association).

“They (mental illnesses) are such serious issues for people and their families and often there’s not a lot to laugh about,” said Mackenzie. “It’s a bit of a cliche but laughter is the best medicine.”

But the presentations also hope to have a serious impact on how people treat others struggling with mental health, whether its depression, anxiety or bipolar disorder.

“I liken it to something like diabetes or asthma,” said Mackenzie. “We don’t look down on those people, we don’t blame them for having asthma or diabetes.”

Yet, statistics show that more people (one in five) are affected by mental health than

stock image

Mental Illness Awareness Week, today through Saturday, will see a number of initiatives in the schools and for the public aimed at reducing the stigma. the seemingly more common diseases like asthma, diabetes and cancer.

The reason, said Mackenzie, is the stigma often prevents those suffering from seeking assistance.

“They don’t want to acknowledge it,” he

said, as many fear they will be labelled as ‘crazy.’

The presentations aim to reduce that stigma by showing how many people are managing their lives despite a mental illness.

“We want to put a more positive light

on it.”

Part of that is also highlighting the link between mental illness and drugs and alcohol.

“That’s the thing that we see that we need to help our kids with in the school system, the self medication,” said Doug Rogers, district substance abuse prevention counsellor.

“They have a few drinks or smoke marijuana to deal with it.”

Mackenzie is also hoping to show a video from Amanda Todd’s mom Carol about her daughter’s suicide and how she lost her fight with mental health issues.

The Port Coquitlam youth committed suicide Oct. 10, 2012 (which happens to be World Mental Health Day). Now Carol is trying to light the world up purple on Thursday, urging businesses to light up in purple and individuals to wear the colour.

CMHA is also hosting Beyond the Blues screenings for students, parents and families, which are confidential, walk-in events in the counselling areas of the following schools: n Charles Bloom Secondary, Monday 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. n Kalamalka Secondary, Tuesday 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. n W.L. Seaton, Wednesday 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. n Vernon Secondary, Thursday 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. n Clarence Fulton, Friday 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.

“One of our commitments in organizing Beyond the Blues is to create friendly, engaging and safer spaces for people to start and continue conversations about their mental health – and this year especially, encouraging reflection on what good mental health looks like,” said Susan Myhre, CMHA local event organizer. “We want Beyond the Blues participants to leave feeling empowered, better informed, hopeful and supported.”

Medical pot lot sought in rural Lumby richard rolke Morning Star Staff

North Okanagan residents are embracing the industrialization of marijuana production.

The Regional District of North Okanagan board has submitted an application to the Agricultural Land Commission for 38 hectares on McQuinna Road in rural Lumby into the Agricultural Land Reserve so commercial medicinal marijuana can be grown.

“We are seeing applications and we will see more,” said Rob Smailes, planning and building

general manager.

The federal government has shifted the production of medicinal marijuana away from small, home-based operations to large, indoor facilities.

The applicant on McQuinna Road proposes to construct additional buildings for the facility.

Other parts of the property could be used to grow garlic, raise livestock and produce oregano and cedar oil.

While the board has forwarded the application to the provincial ALC for consideration, there are some concerns about land being added to the

ALR in local communities.

“In Spallumcheen, large acreages could go into the ALR and they will get a (partial) tax exemption,” said director Janice Brown because the land now has agricultural status. “The tax base for the community will drop down to next to nothing.”

Director Kevin Acton is pleased medicinal marijuana-grow operations are moving out of residential neighbourhoods because they generated some safety concerns.

“The fact that they (large facilities) will have security is wonderful,” he said.

Directors pushing for flood mitigation richard rolke Morning Star Staff

It’s unlikely the Regional District of North Okanagan will prevent future floods at Ashton Creek.

The Electoral Area Advisory Committee has received a staff report on stream remediation and it’s recommending that RDNO write a letter to the provincial Jackie Pearase government.

“We will remind the government of its responsibility of flood mitigation and stream remediation,” said Jackie Pearase, director for Ashton Creek.

The provincial government has previously indicated that RDNO must conduct a feasibility study on possible flood mitigation on the creek.

However, Pearase says there is a concern the costs of upgrades and liabilities will be downloaded on to RDNO even if it simply does a study.

“The last person to touch it, owns it.”

Pearase insists that creeks are a provincial responsibility and Victoria has previously spent money on Ashton Creek to try and address flooding.

“The province did the work there and they need to fix it,” she said, adding that Victoria has also approved of logging that leads to debris in the creek.

“The province is well aware of the issues on Ashton Creek. The residents have expressed their concerns.

The province needs to do its job.”

In the report, staff indicates that there is no funding for waterway management and any expenditures would likely be covered by property owners in Ashton Creek.

There is also the issue of long-term liability related to improvements.

“Any workers undertaken upstream will have potential consequences on downstream properties,” said Ron Baker, community/protective services manager.

“Some may not be known until the next major flood event. Defending against legal claims and paying out on judgments are costs that must be considered when establishing the budget.”

September was a strong month for real estate activity in the North Okanagan.

There were 151 overall sales last month, a 20.8 per cent increase over 125 sales in September 2012.

Total residential sales reached 132 units, up 16.8 per cent from 113 units during the same month in 2012.

“Rising home sales combined with a downward trend in active listings have improved overall housing market conditions,” said Karen Singbeil, Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board president.

“However, we remain firmly in buyers’ market territory.”

September inventory in the North Okanagan saw a seven per cent decline to 2,325 units from 2,501 in 2012.

“Current conditions suggest stable to modest downward pressure on home prices,” said Singbeil.

“A four-person household would use, on average, 2,700 litres of water per day for indoor and outdoor purposes,” said Marnie Skobalski, Regional District of North Okanagan planner, in the report.

“Landowners in Area E with wells producing only 2,273 litres a day may need to be more conservative with

their water usage in order to have sufficient water for all the indoor and outdoor purposes currently enjoyed by the average Okanagan resident.”

But Foisy says that unless there is a limit on water use for all residents, then forcing new development to conduct hydrology studies is unrealistic.

“Why spend money on something that won’t

Foisy hopes the provincial government will initiate groundwater legislation that clarifies the situation.

However, BX-Swan Lake director Bob Fleming stands by the proposed rules because of an ongoing lack of water in the Keddleston area of the BX. “There are some serious concerns about water,” he said.

Fire service wanted for Kal lookout area richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Residents of an area south of Coldstream are seeking fire protection.

Regional District of North Okanagan administration will investigate whether the Vernon or Coldstream fire departments could be contracted to provide service to 38 properties located between the Kalamalka Lake lookout and Kekuli Bay Provincial Park.

“By going to both, there may be a mutual aid agreement,” said Bob Fleming, regional director for the area.

A grass fire in 2012 was tackled by the B.C. Forest Service and local firefighters, but when a house is ablaze, there is no help because the neighbourhood is outside of fire protection boundaries.

“If a house catches fire, it has to spread to the grassland and be a threat to the surrounding area (Coldstream) before there is a response,” said Dave Facey, a resident of Kalamalka Estates.

“If a house is on fire, we can’t call 911 and get the fire department to respond. We are prepared to take on additional cost to have our area protected.”

“We want to work with RDNO to ensure these properties are developed in a responsible way to ensure the quality of the lake is maintained and property values are preserved,” she said.

However, some RDNO officials are concerned the addition of electricity may lead to more development and permanent residents when they believe Cosens Bay is only supposed to be for seasonal cabins.

On the future of the community, Fleming says a project will likely proceed to consider the longterm planning needs there.

Transit plan focus on city richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Only a limited portion of the North Okanagan appears to be the primary focus of long-term transit strategies.

The Regional District of North Okanagan board has received a copy of the transit future plan, but most of the 25-year document looks at service improvements in Greater Vernon.

“Lumby’s not even mentioned in it,” said Kevin Acton, Lumby director, adding that survey results from residents in his community were not made available by those who developed the plan.

“It would have been nice to

However, Enderby director Howie Cyr isn’t concerned the report authors have ignored his community.

“This is a 25-year plan and it’s fluid. They will react to demographics and economic changes,” he said.

“People need to utilize what’s there and as ridership increases,

they will react accordingly.”

Beyond Greater Vernon, the only mention in the plan to other communities is possibly extending evening and weekend service to Enderby and Lumby over the next 11 to 25 years.

There is also the suggestion of a park and ride facility being established in Armstrong over the long-term.

RDNO budget talks underway richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Financing planning is underway within the Regional District of North Okanagan.

The board held its first 2014 budget workshop with staff Wednesday.

“This is the first of many meetings we will have,” said David Sewell, finance general manager.

“We will be firming up figures as we go through the weeks and months to come.”

A figure has not been established yet for a possible tax increase but the average annual tax hike over the last five years Patrick Nicol has been 1.8 per cent.

Each community is requisitioned taxes based on services it receives from NORD, and that varies.

In fact, the budget impact can change from neighbourhood to neighbourhood depending on what services are in place such as street lights and recycling.

There will be further budget discussions in November and December and then a draft budget will be presented to the board Jan. 15. After the presentation of a revised document Feb. 19, it’s anticipated the budget will be adopted March 5.

Chairperson Patrick Nicol hopes the budget contents will reflect the fact that there is an election in

November 2014 and new politicians could be at the table then.

“If there are things we have worked on during this term, they need to get done (before the election),” he said.

Falling for the season

t’s one of my favourite times of the year.

And not just because there’s playoff baseball on the tube, NHL hockey is underway, the CFL is starting to get interesting and the NFL, is, well, the NFL. My wife is not so big on TV sports, or any other spectator sports for that matter, and she has a tendency to exaggerate how much I watch but she’s bang-on, at least this time of year, when she exclaims “it’s everywhere, and every night.”

HD never looked so good as this time of the year and it’s tempting to glue yourself to the TV set after a hard day at the office, not to mention all the new shows that are debuting at the same time.

Glenn Mitchell That’s why I’ll likely have to go HD for our second set, especially after the cable provider pulled all the extra channels off our ‘tube TVs.’ I can only expect my wife to watch a portion of the sports I want to watch, just like I can only tolerate Love it or List it or House Hunters International so many times in a row.

Now don’t get me wrong, there are some things we can watch together, like the news and New Girl and maybe Castle but I think a solid marital relationship has to be based on access to another television at any given time.

And seeing how that second (and third) television’s channels have been seriously axed, even though I’m paying the same monthly rate by the way, then I guess I may have to break down and go digital in the bedroom (which sounds worse than it is, I think).

All of this kind of burns my butt because it seems like just yesterday (OK, it was actually 10 years ago now) that we moved into our present home and the deal was she got new flooring for the kitchen and I got a new big screen TV for the basement.

I think they invented HD and digital the

MitChEll’S MuSingS

next day and the Toshiba in the basement was obsolete two weeks later and now is mostly good for video games and when I really want to watch sports in peace, albeit knowing it would be much more enjoyable in HD, you know like the one upstairs that’s currently tuned into a 10-year-old episode of Gilmore Girls?

Oh well, like I said, I may have to break down and buy a new one and join the 21st Century. At least the kitchen flooring still looks good. I think that means she wins, again.

But it’s not just the TV that’s better this time of year.

If you can take your eyes off the tube for a minute you might notice that it’s pretty nice outside too.

The sun is still shining, well except for a few days this past week, and the temperature, although cool at night, which is OK for sleeping, is pretty darn comfortable for walks, hikes and maybe even camping for the more adventurous of us. And, hey, sites are pretty much guaranteed. And no silly campfire bans to worry about.

Sure it’s a little cool for boating but the great outdoors are there to explore and no mosquitoes or extreme heat to worry about.

That’s why the senior set always holidays in September, early October – plus to shove it in our faces that they can get away when we working stiffs can’t.

So anyone who is struggling with the notion that summer is really over, and winter is on the horizon, should get out and enjoy all the Okanagan Valley has to offer.

And not only is this reality show in HD and 3D and AOK on so many levels, unlike TV it’s actually good for you and you might meet your neighbours one more time before everyone hibernates for the season.

Not to mention the options for your very own reality show are endless and mostly free and no one can take any of those options away from you just because you haven’t updated your wardrobe lately.

When someone has an injury, say a broken arm, they don’t try to hide it. A cast or bandage usually alerts others to their injury, prompting them to lend a hand where they can.

But when it comes to mental health, there aren’t a lot of visible signs that someone is suffering.

And due to a fear of being deemed ‘crazy’ those who are suffering tend to keep their illness secret.

In doing so, no one can help them. A friend can’t offer an ear to listen, a school counsellor can’t offer support and loved ones can’t try to help.

So in honour of Mental Illness Awareness Week, today through Saturday, the Vernon School District is working to break the stigma around mental health.

Teachers, counsellors and administrators want students to understand that just like a broken arm, there is no shame in depression, anxiety or bi-polar illness.

No one should be treated unfairly because of any illness, especially when such treatment can exasperate an underlying condition.

There is a major concern that those who don’t seek proper support will turn to drugs and alcohol as a way of self-medicating. But such substances can also exasperate mental illnesses.

So students, parents, family and friends are urged to take in the opportunities this week to better educate themselves on mental health. District-wide presentations will take place, along with mental health screenings and the public can attend the free presentation Tuesday at the rec complex.

With a broader conversation on the topic, it is hoped more people will better understand such illnesses, how to treat them and most importantly, break the stigma.

A 'Sensible' reply to letter

must respond to the letter to the editor from Donald John (Sept. 29/13) on the topic of Sensible B.C. First of all, it is patently obvious that Mr. John has not read up on what Sensible B.C. proposes - nowhere do they say that they want to legalize marijuana.

What they do say is that they would like, "an amendment to the B.C. Police Act, which redirects all police in the province from using any police resources, including member time, on investigations, searches, seizures, citations, arrests or detentions related solely to simple possession of cannabis."

Had Mr. John taken the time to do some minimal research, he would have further discovered that, within the abovementioned proposal, there would be a provision to deal with exactly the fears he has about the impact of this initiative on teens and young adults.

The Sensible Policing Act would add cannabis to the section of the B.C. Liquor Control Act which covers minors in possession of alcohol, thus enabling police offers to confiscate cannabis from a minor, in exactly the same fashion and with the an update We are very grateful for the continued well wishes, healing energy and prayers being directed towards Hayley and the efforts to help with her treatment for head pain.

Please, once again, take a moment to send a few extra thoughts to Hayley in the upcoming weeks. Shortly after the surgery to implant the stimulation into the temples, Hayley has had a battle with an infection in the incision over the right ear. In spite of long-term antibiotic therapy, this has been impossible to halt, and now the doctors are afraid that this infection has compromised the actual wires.

This is requiring us to make an urgent trip to the Mayo Clinic, with appointments prior to the surgery scheduled for Oct. 9.

If, in fact, the wires are compromised, then the physicians are worried that they will have to remove the entire wire and stimu-

same penalties as for alcohol.

Mr. John goes on to cite a litany of possible woes resulting from this proposed initiative, among them the following: poverty, lowered academic achievement, increased crime, social and behavioural problems and family breakdown.

I would like to ask Mr. John these questions: Have you ever smoked marijuana?

Do you drink alcohol? Do you have children that are teens or young adults?

lation system. There would have to be a period of healing before this could be re-inserted.

Needless to say, that thought and plan is devastating. During the last few months, Hayley has been out of bed and participating more than we have seen in quite awhile. We are hopeful that this stimulation will continue, however, it is required to make that happen.

Mike, Sloan and Stella Rose need Hayley out of bed as much as Hayley needs to be out of bed.

We are hopeful that the wonderful team we have at the Mayo Clinic will have some answers, and a great treatment plan.

One of the strange aspects of this pain complex is that the physicians have research outlining that it is possible that the “pain path highways” will not return, once they have been interrupted.

Please, along with the entire family and friend network for Hayley, let’s all hope and pray this

I ask these questions because, upon reading and re-reading your letter, my initial and lasting impressions were of someone ranting for the sake of ranting.

A little cohesive thought would have brought the following into discussion: the astronomical costs of policing and prosecution for a substance that was originally banned due to the behind-the-scenes political wrangling of a newspaper baron and a major chemical company.

might be the situation for Hayley and that the steady stimulation she has had over the last year has done a sufficient job of interrupting those pain pathways.

Please keep Hayley in your thoughts and prayers.

Kathy Goldie (Hayley's mom) scHooL zones On Sept. 23 at 1 p.m. I was travelling on Okanagan Landing Road in the 50-kilometre-an-hour zone approaching the 30-kilometre-anhour school zone at Ellison school.

There was a woman behind me, travelling much faster then 50 kilometres. She was irate that I was slowing down and was waving her hands in the air and swearing at me. She actually looked like she was going to pop a blood vessel through her head. That's how mad she was at me, for doing the speed limit no doubt?

What in the world is wrong with her I wondered? Was she late

Would you prefer that young people in B.C. come of age tarred with the stigma of a criminal record for the simple act of relaxing with a joint?

Would you prefer that these same young people instead learn how to drink themselves into oblivion?

I have no statistics to back this up, but I am confident in stating that the incidences of fatal car crashes, suicides, murders, thefts, etc. are not the result of teens or young adults experimenting with marijuana.

I have signed the referendum locally and urge others to do the same. Apart from the fact that I like marijuana, use it regularly, prefer it to alcohol and have no intention to stop its consumption, I am very concerned about the number of young people whose lives are irrevocably altered (and not for the better) by the draconian laws governing simple possession of a substance that has been used for thousands of years, by people all over this world.

I hope this letter generates both discussion and a response from Mr. John.

to pick up her child from school?

I tapped on my brakes to inform her I was not happy with her tailgating me and I pointed to the school zone sign and she still was ranting and raging.

I always see speeders in that area and wonder why there is no unmarked police vehicles catching these speeders and making tons of extra cash for the province in giving out speeding through school zone tickets?

You speeders should think twice before zooming so fast during school zone hours, which by the way end at 5 p.m. through the week during the duration that school is in session.

It ticks me off to no end that I do the speed limit and that those speeders make all sorts of gestures with their hands or fingers at me for abiding the law of the roads.

It is a privilege to drive on them not a right. Slow down and save lives. patti Mondor

Derby revving up roger knox Morning Star Staff

A popular Armstrong Thanksgiving tradition has been reborn.

The Armstrong Demolition Derby, which drew throngs of spectators to watch metal being bent and twisted in every way possible for nearly a quarter of a century, returns to the Interior Provincial Exhibition grounds Sunday, Oct. 13.

“We’ve talked about starting it up again for the last couple of years,” said Lyle Williamson, son of longtime derby organizer Larry Williamson, of the upcoming event. “It was a big event and a lot of people have missed it.”

The derby ran for close to 25 years before shutting down at the turn of the century.

It returns with full-sized cars, twowheel-drive trucks and, at the end of day, powder puff races with women drivers behind the wheels of whatever vehicles remain able to run.

“We’re also going to have at least a couple of women drivers racing with the men,” said Williamson.

One of them will be his sister-inlaw, wife of Williamson’s brother, Leroy.

Two years ago, the couple were the final two vehicles going up against each other in the Salmon Arm Demolition

Offering qualified patients comprehensive advice & the finest medicinal Cannabis products

Derby.

“The crowd loved it,” said Williamson, who grew up with his brother and dad being involved with the derby either as a car builder, crew member or driver. Williamson is only organizing this year.

The crowd in Armstrong will not be disappointed as the large field includes cars that are relatively stock built, not fully modified.

“The crowd wants to see metal bending and fully modified cars are pretty much tanks on wheels,” said Williamson. “They hit hard. People like to see the cars get bent out of shape.”

Drivers will be competing for cash as well as trophies which have been sponsored by the Armstrong A&W. Food vendors will be on hand.

The derby goes rain or shine.

The gates open at 10 a.m. and the derby starts at 11:30.

Cost is $15 for adults, $10 for seniors and students and kids under 10 are admitted free.

More information on the derby can be found on the event’s Facebook page.

Type Armstrong Demolition Derby into the search engine.

Armstrong Parks and Recreation is also involved with bringing the derby back to Armstrong.

News Volunteer opportunities abound Morning Star Staff

Volunteers are the glue that holds our society together.

Most of the time, they work quietly in the background and we don‘t notice them, but if they went on strike, or simply went home, life as we know it in Vernon would sputter to a stop.

“Volunteers are an integral part of our society,” said Twylla Genest, manager of volunteer services at NexusBC Community Resource Centre. “They run events such as the Terry Fox Run. They walk the dogs at the SPCA. Even our own organization – NexusBC Community Resource Centre – relies on an average of 30 plus volunteers to support our programs and services.”

British Columbia is a leading province in terms of the number of individual volunteer hours given annually: 178 (compared to a national average of 156 hours in 2010). This translates to each volunteer donating nearly four weeks out of every year to volunteer work.

“You might be surprised to know how many volunteers there are in Vernon,” said Genest. “Our services started in 2002 with 75 registered volunteers, and now have nearly 2,500 ‐ and those are just the volunteers that come through us.”

Volunteerism offers many benefits to the community, but the returns to the volunteers themselves are numerous: confidence building, new friends, broadened horizons, employment exploration, resume material, skill development, social development, self‐esteem, exiting challenges, sharing knowledge, inclusion, improved mental, emotional and physical health and so many more.

But Genest says that there is still a big need for volunteers.

North Okanagan residents are being urged to support programs that benefit their friends, loved ones and neighbours.

The United Way is currently in the midst of its annual campaign to generate funds for 25 local non-profit community Linda Yule agencies.

“Our financial goal for this year is $300,000 which reflects the genuine need for services in our communities.” said Linda Yule, United Way executive director.

“The United Way campaign is about more than fundraising. It’s about a vision for a community where everyone can live a good quality life.

It’s about working together for the common good.”

Yule says United Way believes

in building strong communities by ensuring children are healthy and ready to start school, that youth are engaged, that seniors can live independently and those with challenges receive the support they need.

“We have many steadfast, longterm donors who give individually or through their workplace payroll deduction program, as well as corporate donors. We thank them all for their generosity,” she said.

“When you donate to United Way, your money goes into the community fund, a pool of donations that draws on the combined strength of donors like you, to strengthen individuals, families and communities by supporting services that improve people’s lives. The community fund helps in the short term by meeting immediate needs and in the long term by addressing the root causes of social issues.”

Team reels in second place Morning Star Staff

Team Big Coast K i n g f i s h e r / Ya m a h a took second place in the Bamfield Tuna Shootout last week in Bamfield with a fourfish aggregate of 109 pounds.

Big Coast, a 28-footer out of Port Alberni, is sponsored

by Kingfisher Boats of Vernon and was co-captained by Vernon’s Tim Milne and Mike Evans of Parksville. The crew included team members Brian Savard of Comox and Jes McFarlan of Parksville.

The eight-day derby featured 35 boats targeting albacore tuna more than 50 miles offshore of Vancouver Island’s west coast. Each crew weighed in their top four fish and a pair of 29.5 pounders tipped the scales for Big Coast.

“The weather was horrendous most of the week with seas reaching six metres so we just waited it out,” said Milne. “We finally got a weather window for a couple days and our crew hooked 15 tuna, fishing about 55 miles offshore in three metre seas. It was definitely a party when we nailed the two big ones.”

Freedom 22 of Burnaby took first overall with a fourtuna aggregate of 110.5 pounds while Willie’s Rig from Bamfield took third with 101.85 pounds. The Big Coast

crew earned $3,000 for its silver finish, also weighing in the second and third biggest derby fish.

“It was so cool to take

the big Kingfisher way offshore and fish tuna in British Columbia,” said Milne. “We’ve all fished Mexico before but to chase down the

Albacore in Canada seemed almost exotic.

Most people have no idea you can even catch tuna in the Great White North.”

Morris slides onto calendar scene GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

Most people call him Johnny Mo, but soon John Morris could be known as Mr. December.

Morris, who is skipping a Vernon-based rink featuring Jim Cotter (skip’s stone), Ty Griffith and Rick Sawatsky at the Prestige Hotels Curling Classic this week at the Vernon Curling Club, is one of a dozen athletes to grace the pages of the first-ever Men of Curling calendar.

A 34-year-old firefighter from Chestermere, Alta., Morris has the looks and build of a Sears catalogue model. He has been approached to do calendar shoots before with the fire hall, but always balked at the idea.

He was initially reluctant to do the Men of Curling as well, but changed his mind after considering the potential to support charity and showcase the sport.

“It took me a year to warm up to it,” smiled Morris, who joined up with Cotter after a successful run with Edmonton’s Kevin Martin that included Olympic gold at the 2010 Games in Vancouver.

“It turned out to be a good project and we’ll see how much money we can raise here.”

The 2014 Men of Curling is available online at www.menofcurling.com for $29.95. In addition, Morris and the other athletes will soon be selling the product personally, with a portion of those revenues going to a charitable cause of their choice.

Morris, who hinted his photo shoot includes a firefighter theme, has chosen Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada as his charity of choice.

“I have a Little Brother, and being able to raise money for that organization is important to me,” he said.

Female curlers have been ahead of the game when it comes to the charity calendars, with the Women of Curling being published for the

LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

Sweepers Ty Griffith (left) and Rick Sawatsky look for instruction on a rock thrown by skip John Morris in the Prestige Hotels & Resorts Curling Classic Friday morning at the Vernon Curling Club. past several years.

Heather Nedohin, whose Edmonton rink is 3-1 in the $40,000 women’s draw of the Prestige cashspiel in Vernon (see story on A19), believes the men’s calendar is a great idea.

“It think it’s absolutely perfect,” smiled Nedohin, the defending Prestige women’s champ.

“The male athletes in our sport — John are becoming quite fine to look at. It’s nice to see the image of curlers change from what it used to be in the past.

“And the men have some humour, which is a bonus.”

Nedohin, who’s second, Jessica Mair, posed for the women’s shoot last year, is impressed by the athleticism shown by calendar cover boy Mike McEwen of Winnipeg.

“It’s phenomenal. He’s in a Manitoba tuck balanced on pillars. How cool is that? It’s artistic, it demonstrates athleticism, and again, it’s fine to the eyes.”

As a firefighter, being fit is part Morris of Morris’ job description, but he did tweak his diet a little.

“I didn’t have to do much different except eat more protein because I’m a pretty lean guy. I had to bulk up a little.

“We’re not doing this to get a date,we’re doing it for a good cause.”

“Curling has changed. It’s become a sport where there are some really good athletes, and a lot of people don’t realize that still.”

Morris said it was essential get top male curling talent onboard to lend the calendar project credence.

The following list is proof of that: Ben Hebert of Calgary, who won 2010 Olympic gold with Morris; world champion and Olympic silver medallist Carter Rycroft of Grande Prairie, Alta.; world champion Jon Mead of Winnipeg; twotime world winner Craig Savill of Ottawa; defending Canadian champions and world No.1-ranked Brad Jacobs and E.J. Harnden of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.; veteran Atlantic Canadian skip Paul Flemming of Halifax and World Curling Tour cash dynamo Mike

Cruzan

McEwen of Winnipeg.

A trio of international rock stars round out the group of 12: defending European and world champion Niklas Edin of Sweden, defending Olympic silver medallist Thomas Ulsrud of Norway, and three-time world champion David Murdoch of Scotland.

A bachelor, Morris didn’t have to ask anyone’s permission to do the shoot.

He grinned: “I know some of the guys did, and I think there’s a few guys that aren’t showing as much skin because they’ve got wives. But we’re not doing this to get a date, we’re doing it for a good cause.”

Asked if he would be buying a copy of the men’s calendar to support his new skip, Cotter chuckled: “I think I’ll wait for the women’s calender to come out.”

On the ice, Morris and Cotter faced Edmonton’s Tom Appelman for one of two A bracket berths into the Prestige playoffs Saturday at the Vernon Curling Club.

Morris racked up a pair of wins Friday, starting with a 5-2 win over Kamloops’ Brent Yamada. They followed that with a 7-5 win over Kelowna’s Jeff Richards.

“It’s better than last year – we started out 0-2,” said Cotter, the defending men’s champ.

“We’re just trying to get some games in and get to know each other. You always want to win, but I don’t think we’ve gone into events with expectations to win.

We just want to put some solid games together.”

Kevin Koe faced Brendan Bottcher in an all-Edmonton battle in the other A qualifier Saturday.

Action in the 16-team, $26,000 men’s draw continues today at the Vernon club. There are six playoff berths available.

Playoffs go Monday, with quarterfinals at 9 a.m., semis at noon, followed by the championship game at 3 p.m.

Spruce Kings surge past Vipers in third Morning Star Staff

The overnight bus ride from Prince George is difficult at the best of times. For the Vernon Vipers, it was downright miserable after they fell 3-0 to the host Spruce Kings in B.C. Hockey League play Friday night at the Coliseum.

With the game scoreless going into the third period, the Sprucies torched netminder Danny Todosychuk (31 saves) for three goals in just over seven minutes to break the game wide open.

Mitch Eden opened the scoring with a rebound off the rush at 4:14. Christian Weidauer squeezed a point shot through traffic for the 2-0 goal, and Jeremiah Luedke surprised Todosychuk after Vernon defenceman Michael Statchuk tried to ring the puck around the boards, only to have it bounce out front, right to Luedke.

Vernon head coach Jason Williamson called it a lacklustre effort.

“I’m tremendously disappointed in our group right now,” said Williamson. “Our best players need to be our hardest-working players, and they weren’t.

“We were soft, we didn’t finish checks and we let them dictate the game.”

Todosychuk had to be sharp early as Vernon was outshot 9-2 in the first period, and 34-20 overall.

If there was one bright spot for Vernon Friday night, it was the penalty kill, which held Prince George scoreless on five attempts, including a major to d-man Mark Hamilton after he boarded a Spruce King player in the third period.

Williamson said Hamilton, who also earned a misconduct for a blow to the head in the second period, will likely be

suspended the next two games.

Williamson noted the energy brought by new centre Josh Betinol, who he picked up Thursday from the SJHL Battlefords North Stars. He said Betinol’s line of Matty Saharchuk and Tyler Povolfskie was Vernon’s best on the night.

Prince George (6-3-0-1) has now won four straight to sit atop the Mainland Division. The Vipers occupy the Interior cellar at 3-4-1-2. They headed right back on the road Saturday to face the Salmon Arm SilverBacks (5-4-0-1).

Troy Mick’s ‘Backs opened their October schedule with a 5-2 win over the Penticton Vees Friday night.

Vernon’s Alex Gillies led the Gorillas with a 2+1, first-star performance. The 18-year-old leads the league with 11-5-16 in 10 games.

Saskatoon’s Stefanie Lawton and China’s Bingyu (Betty) Wang each went 4-0 in preliminary play to grab the first two berths in the final-eight at the $40,000 Prestige Hotels Curling Classic Friday at the Vernon Curling Club.

B and C bracket play continued Saturday, while playoffs for the 32-team, triple-knockout cashspiel begin today with the quarterfinals at 9 a.m., semis at noon, and the championship game at 4 p.m.

Wang, who surprised the women’s curling scene with her runner-up performance at the 2008 Ford worlds in Vernon, outgunned her competition this week, grounding Minnesota’s Allison Pottinger 9-4, Scotland’s Eve Muirhead 8-4 and Cloverdale’s Marla Mallett 8-3 before stopping Calgary’s Amy Nixon 6-5 Friday night.

Lawton racked up wins over Kamloops’ Allison McInnes (6-3), Winnipeg’s Barb Spencer (9-5), St. Paul, Minn.’s Cassie Potter and defending champion Heather Nedohin of Edmonton (6-5).

Nedohin, a two-time Canadian champion (2012 and 1998) and former world junior champ, is among the frontrunners looking to make a push towards the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

“Every Olympic year is a big season, and there are several of us Canadian teams that are gearing up for the first week of December (Olympic trials),” said Nedohin.

“We’ve been building over the last two years, and we’ve been able to map out how we want to be ready for this season. It’s nice

invitational senior boys volleyball tournament Friday afternoon.

Led by the serving of Zac Dubland and strong passing from libero Jake Thiessen, the Royals grounded the South Okanagan Hornets of Oliver 25-21, 25-20.

In the second match, outside hitters Travis Hoogland and Ryan Price provided power attacks over the Clearwater Raiders to earn a 25-16, 25-15 decision.

The Royals bowed 15-25, 25-22, 11-15 to the Cedars Christian Eagles of Prince George in their final tilt of the night.

Vernon faced the Mount Sentinel Wildcats of South Slocan Saturday morning. Playoffs went that afternoon.

Meanwhile, the VSS senior boys fell 3-1 (18-25, 25-19, 25-22, 21-25) to the Okanagan Mission Huskies in league play Tuesday at the Pit. The boys got off to a rough start, despite some great hits from Brayden Damini and Shelby Hartwig. VSS answered back with great blocks from Hartwig, fantastic sets and saves from Nolan Weins and strong play from junior pickups Carson and Landon Mattes.

VSS junior Jaryd Fisher helped the Cats in the third set, while Weins had some incredible killer hits alongside Damini.

after that, it was all Osoyoos Coyotes.

Leading 3-2 after 20 minutes of Kootenay International Junior Hockey League play Friday night at the Sun Bowl, the host ‘Yotes racked up seven unanswered goals to run away with a 10-2 win.

Half of the 4-4 Osoyoos offence came on the powerplay, which converted on 5-of-8 attempts to hand North Okanagan (5-10-1) its first regulation loss.

Rory Neary, with the hat trick, and Aaron Azevedo and Jackson DeMatos, each with a deuce, supplied the bulk of the firepower.

Colin Chmelka (4A), Troy Maclise (3A) and Bradley Williams rounded out the attack in front of netminder

Lawrence Langan, who finished with 29 saves.

Zach Dyment recorded 41 stops for the Knights.

Ryan Kelm and Mat Lambert provided firstperiod snipes for the Knights, who played the fourth of a sevengame road schedule Saturday night against the Kelowna Chiefs (5-3).

The Knights lost forward Anthony Ruggiero early in the first period when he was ejected for a check from behind.

The Coyotes earned just one minor to North Okanagan’s eight.

Sports Wheelchair hoops returns to Vernon Morning Star Staff

Wheelchair basketball is back for another season in Vernon, and organizers are on the lookout for participants.

As there are not enough people with disabilities to run a full program locally, there is a need for ablebodied athletes to augment the numbers.

There are a total of eight fall sessions on Thurday nights (7-8:30) running Oct. 17 to Dec. 5 at the Hillcrest Elementary gym (1822 Francis St.). The winter session goes Feb. 6 to March 13.

The drop-in fee is a bargain at $5, and the recreational-level program is integrated so that ablebodied participants can play alongside athletes with disabilities.

No experience is necessary, and the program is ages 14 and up.

Kelowna’s Art Kelz will host an introductory skills workshop on the opening night to provide newcomers the fundamentals of wheelchair basketball.

Kelz also has several loaner sport chairs of various adult sizes that he will with him each week. Please bring any additional chest straps and other equipment you may need, as the chairs have a snowboard buckle-style seatbelt and calf straps only.

For more information, phone Kathy Van der Star at 250-548-4078, or e-mail kathy@vanderstar.com; or contact Art Kelz at 250-801-2136, or e-mail artkelz@gmail.com.

YOU AND THE LAW CAN YOU REDUCE PROBATE FEES?

By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. Yes, if you plan ahead of time – but you have to understand how probate fees work.

Think of probate fees as a kind of tax that has to be paid when someone wants official approval to administer an estate.

So if you have a will, probate fees are paid when your executor applies to the court to “prove” (probate) your will.

This is usually necessary when your estate holds assets like your house, bank term deposits or cars. Probate fees apply to all your property in BC and, if you’re a BC resident, all your “intangible” assets (like stocks and money in bank accounts) anywhere else in the world.

you want to benefit. What you give away before you die no longer belongs to you, so isn’t part of your estate. (But on some gifts, like a gift of stocks that have gone up in value, capital gains tax might have to be paid, so you’d have to consider this.)

Another way is to designate beneficiaries under your life insurance policies, RSP’s and RIF’s. That way, the life insurance proceeds, RSP and RIF assets don’t go into the estate – they go directly to the people you designate.

Or you could put certain assets (like your house and bank accounts) into joint tenancy with, say, your spouse.

Then your spouse would get these assets outside the estate, so again, no probate fees would have to be paid.

(But beware of unintended consequences. For example, if the other joint owner of your property is one of your children, your other children might claim the right to share on the basis that the joint owner child holds “in trust” for all your children.)

Kevin E.

Once the court confirms that your will is valid and grants “letters probate,” your executor can deal with the land title office, banks and ICBC to distribute your estate to your beneficiaries.

Probate fees aren’t paid on very small estates of $25,000 or less. And for estates $50,000 or less, the fee is $6 for every $1,000 (0.6%) on the amount above $25,000.

Cherkowski

But for larger estates over $50,000, the fee is $14 per $1,000 (1.4%) on any amount above $50,000. For example, if the value of your estate is $480,000, the probate fees would be $6,170 – not exactly pocket change.

There are some more sophisticated methods, like creating certain types of trusts during your lifetime, in line with income tax laws, that allow you to keep control of the assets you put into the trust, yet keep them out of your estate, so no probate fees are paid (as the trust “owns” the assets, not you).

So what are some strategies to reduce this tax and preserve more of your assets for your heirs?

For many of these strategies, you’d need to do a cost-benefit review and get expert guidance.

Since probate fees only apply to assets in your estate, you want to keep your estate assets low.

In reality, probate fees are only one piece of the puzzle which a good estate plan will deal with. So go talk to your lawyer – he or she can help, and keep your probate fees down as well.

One way is to make gifts while you’re still alive to people (or organizations) that

Bob Davison and Dora McKenzie were married Aug. 14, 1953 at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Vernon.

They began their marriage in a tiny house that Bob built on his aunt’s Bella Vista orchard where he worked, and in the next years they had four children: Joyce (Blaine Olson), Linda (Mike McVeigh), Tom (Tamra), and Sharon (George Oldaker).

Bob and Dora subsequently purchased the farm from May Davison, and together worked hard raising apples and their children. However, after nearly 25 years of marriage, Bob and Dora embraced new challenges. Foster children Erika (Paul Macklin) and Nathan Towers, five and two years old, needed a home, and found it with Dora and Bob just as their own children were leaving the nest. Moreover, while the economic realities of growing apples for a living had become increasingly less viable, their son Tom, and his

In the years since, Dora and Bob’s private yard has transformed into a destination visited by well over a quarter of a million visitors each season, and the farm supports the families of three grandchildren as well as many others.

Bob and Dora have always expressed their Christian faith as active

members of their church and through support of a variety of local and international missions. In the “off ” season (there is not really an “off” season) they have travelled throughout North America, often to fruit and marketing conferences, as well as in Great Britain and Africa, making friends wherever they go.

Now in their 80s, Dora and Bob continue to invest their energies and find their enjoyment in the same things that have always been important to them. Their

Typically Dora can be found in the greenhouse, the bakery, or in her kitchen at lunchtime, facilitating lunch for anywhere between three and 20 people. She also regularly produces amazing quilts and supports every member of her family with encouragement, prayers, meals and more. Depending on the season, Bob might be pruning, planting, watering dozens of flower pots, tending to animals, driv-

ing the Johnny Popper train or sorting fruit. He also has an endless curiosity and interest in people, history, and a seemingly boundless supply of cookies for kids who visit the farm.

For Bob and Dora it’s been quite an adventure so far, and there will doubtless be a few surprises to come. The family held a celebratory dinner in August.

Many thanks, love, and best wishes from all your family.

be decided on a sliding scale and may also be free. The program will cover greater Vernon and if successful would meet the needs of many seniors who want to stay in their own homes.

It makes good sense to have programs for seniors that are not only welcome but economically sound as the seniors’ population increases. Right now in this region there are more residents over 45 than under 45 and demographic trends indicate that while one in five residents are seniors in 2011 this is expected to rise to one in three by 2031.

Someone may finally be listening to seniors.

Also good news for the Schubert Centre as the official OK from the City of Vernon has finally been received and they can proceed with actually selling

units at Katherine Gardens through their life lease agreements.

The new seniors housing complex will be located behind the centre. Twenty-seven units have already been reserved and now firm offers can be accepted and purchased with a down payment and development will proceed. There will be 56 units in total including three that belong to Schubert Centre for affordable housing rental. For more information call 250-309-7573.

The City of Vernon Community Policing Office has moved and Ed Howard, Seniors Program coordinator, is now at City Hall but Ed wants all seniors to know that he can and will come to you if you have a problem. Just call him at 250-550-7840.

This is another great service for seniors.

The office is now at 3201 30th St., #102, next to the Access Centre across from the old library.

Along with this move, a new program, Better At Home, will be introduced. Aimed at keeping seniors in their own homes as long as possible, the program will try to supply services identified in a recent needs survey such as transportation, house cleaning, shopping, home maintenance, meal preparation, etc. Better At Home programs will be funded across B.C. under the

With a chocolate fountain, jars of colourful jelly beans and enough sugar to keep Willie Wonka happy, the first Decadent Dessert Fundraiser at Heron Grove was a big hit.

“The wonderful affair was a smashing success,” said Ivana Pavlic, recreation and volunteer coordinator for the Good Samaritan Society-Heron Grove.

“We raised more than $7,000 for our Raise the Roof Campaign, a campaign to cover our secondstory patio so that residents, family, friends and staff can maximize the beautiful weather we experience throughout the year.”

The fundraiser was such a success that Pavlic has already set the date for next year’s event: Sept. 6, 2014.

“A huge thank you goes out to all sponsors, attendees and

Residents, friends, family, staff and volunteers enjoy dessert. volunteers for dedicating your time and money to such a worthy cause,” she said. “From the bottom of my heart, thank you again, and I can’t wait to see you next year.”

Heron Grove opened in Vernon in early 2007 and offers seniors multiple levels of care and the ability to age in place.

This campus of care includes the

main building which houses the assisted and independent living suites and six 12-bed care cottages.

Heron Grove is operated by The Good Samaritan Society, whose mission is to extend Christian hospitality through a continuum of care to those in need or at risk, regardless of race Ed Lang (left) and Dan Russell dip into the chocolate fountain at the Decadent Dessert or religious belief.

Q: A:

Are hairballs a health concern for my cat?

Oh, the dreaded hairballs! We have all had the pleasure of waking up in the morning, half asleep and stepping directly onto a wet hairball from our cat.

Yes! Hairballs in cats are unpleasant.

They are not just disgusting to us, but they could cause intestinal issues for our feline friend. Hairballs develop as a result of your cat’s instinctual urge to groom. Your cat’s tongue has little barbed hooks which as they groom remove dead and loose hair. They then swallow this hair.

Most of this hair moves through the intestinal tract without concerns, but some hair could stay in the stomach and form a hairball. Ultimately your cat will vomit to rid itself of the hairball.

Hairballs are more likely a concern with long haired cats or totally indoor cats. Indoor cats out of boredom may groom more often than outside cats. If you notice the following hairball symptoms: ongoing vomiting, lack of appetite, lethargy, constipation, gagging, retching, or hacking without producing a hairball seek veterinary assistance.

There are hairball remedies available to help your cat prevent hairballs. There is even an option in a treat that you give for 3-5 days once monthly.

The Royal Heirs saxophonists entertain at a free concert recently at Vernon Full Gospel Church, hosted by Pastor Cliff Siebert and the church. “A large group came out to hear some of their favourite gospel numbers, and the proceeds from fundraising went to help one of the band’s favourite missions, persecuted Christians throughout the world,” said Siebert.

“This involves advanced energy development and healing, focusing on cancerrelated illness,” said Karringten. “As a bonus, one day was spent just on healing through forgiveness.”

When he took his levels one and two courses three years ago, there were only two or three practising groups in Canada.

“Since then, this style of Qigong, which is a simple moving meditation with five basic moves, has spread all across Canada,” said Karringten.

Remove the imbalances and you remove the pain and then healing truly begins.”

As a result of his practice, Karringten has enrolled in the Medical Qigong (TCM) program.

“This multi-year journey is to further my knowledge of this wonderful practice so that I may help, support and share this knowledge as an alternate way of supporting our own healing.”

Millions of kids have been forced into refugee camps since the bombing because they have nowhere else to go, and the majority of those innocent lives have been neglected from not just their education but from their right to live in peace. So we feel as Canadians that we should do something about it and help them the best we can in order for them to have a better life than what they are having now.

Ballet troupe fumbling towards ecstasy Morning Star Staff

Alberta Ballet, among Canada’s largest ballet companies, combines choreography with the music of Sarah McLachlan, one of Canada’s most loved singer/songwriters.

Fumbling Towards Ecstasy brings poetry in motion to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Nov. 3 at 7:30 p.m.

“The Alberta Ballet is renowned worldwide for its exquisite portrayal of classical ballets and contemporary pieces,” said Brian van Wensem, audience development coordinator for the Vernon Performing Arts Centre.

“This incredible company last performed for Vernon in 2010 when they brought Joni Mitchell’s Fiddle and the Drum. They are now set to return boasting a full company of 32 dancers for their latest pop-fusion ballet featuring the songbook of McLachlan.”

After the tremendous success of collaborating with Mitchell and Elton John, and choreographing the 2010 Vancouver Olympics opening ceremonies, Jean GrandMaître, artistic director of 11 years, is earning more glowing reviews with Fumbling Towards Ecstasy.

“Alberta Ballet takes us on the deeply spiritual odyssey of every woman as she traces life and love from first encounter to full maturity, all set to the backdrop of McLachlan’s best-loved hits including Angel, Ice, Hold On, Good Enough and Ice Cream,” said van Wensem.

“This well-seasoned and technically trained classical ballet company takes us on a triumphant journey through the use of the soulful ballads of our own struggles, triumphs and relationships. Experience the

Tickets are on sale now at $45 for adults, $42 for seniors and $40 for students. A master class with Alberta Ballet will be offered for dance students Nov. 3 from 10 a.m. to

noon. Call the Ticket Seller Box Office at 250-549-SHOW (7469) for more information. Discounts available for members of the Performing Arts Centre Society.

Vernon artists demonstrate a natural affinity in Lake Country Morning Star Staff

The Lake Country Art Gallery presents Natural Affinity, an exhibition of clay, glass and photography, from Wednesday to Nov. 16.

The exhibit features the works of Vernon artists Buffy Baumbrough, Patricia Doyle and Gale Woodhouse.

Each of these three artists specializes in a particular medium: Woodhouse, clay; Doyle, glass; Baumbrough, photography. However, since they began working together over three years, they have begun to find themselves attracted to working in other mediums.

“How I see and shoot images has been totally changed by working with Gale and Patricia,” said Baumbrough.

“Me as well”, added Woodhouse. “Sometimes I’ll see

something and think, I need to share this with Patricia as it would really only work in glass.”

For these three artists, making art together is an everexpanding conversation inspired by the natural world around them, and the contrast of the micro and the macro of it, as well as their collaborative working relationships with one another.

“When I did the last studio visit with them, they were afire with new ideas,” said Katie Brennan, Lake Country Art Gallery curator.

“Most of all from the inspiration that they find in each others work”.

Fusing glass and clay and photography is a technically challenging process that requires a great deal of depth about

Voltage/HitRecoRd Films

Scarlett Johansson and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are unable to satisfy each other in Don Jon. idea farm, hitrecord. org. I think it’s a very interesting film, but I’m having trouble deciding if it’s good or not.

I think it might be one of those situations where a work of art either becomes a brilliant statement about a generation, or turns out to be a stupid film about stupid people, maybe both.

HOWE: I, on the

other hand, am not a fan of Gordon-Levitt. I find him rather annoying with the whole smug git routine, but for some reason I really enjoyed his role in this.

As for Scarlett Johansson, what is the big deal with her? She’s not a great actress and even though her New Jersey accent was very good, it just seemed a little too fake coming out of her mouth.

TAYLOR: What we have here is a film about the superficial expectations of the Jersey Shore generation.

These are people more interested in what they are than who they are.

I think it illustrates well the societal norms created by pop culture, as they relate to our desires and the suffering they create.

All of the people in this film are unhappy, except the older people, who have figured out that the world is full of crap and the only things that matter are

the same things that have mattered for all time.

As such, this is a very glossy, sexy, easily understood film about beautiful, vapid people that have nothing to offer the world except that which the world has programmed into them, unless perhaps you are one of those people.

HOWE: I think a lot of people will bypass this movie just because of the porn aspect.

I say, don’t let this movie pass you by. It’s funny, touching and deals with real problems and addictions, plus how we deny them.

I say congratulations to Gordon-Levitt for writing and directing such an original film.

Howe gives Don Jon 3.5 tissues out of 5.

Taylor gives it 4 clear browser caches out of 5.

Don Jon is currently showing at Galaxy Cinema in Vernon.

Gallery reveals new exhibits

Morning Star Staff

There are some new works on display at the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Art Gallery.

Gerry Marchand and Tatianna O’Donnell will be the focus of exhibits until Oct. 26.

In the main gallery, is Marchand’s show Light Reflections.

“We are very fortunate to have Gerry as a member of our gallery where he has a tremendous help with our annual ribbon show,” states a release.

A Saskatchewan-native, Marchand is a painter who retired to Vernon in 1995.

He spent 25 years as an art teacher in North Bay, Ont. and he started a program designed to identify art talent in children ranging in age from five to 19 years old.

Although Marchand paints on a full-time basis, he continues to give lessons to interested students and presents workshops at the Vernon Community Arts Council and local art galleries.

In the Freeze Gallery, the ASAG is featuring Tatianna O’Donnell with her show Script.

O’Donnell is an artist who currently lives in Salmon Arm. She first studied art at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and has been an artist–in-residence at the Banff Centre, the Artic Institute in the Yukon, the Leighton Centre, the Columbia Icefields and Gushul Studios at the University of Lethbridge.

She has also been invited to exhibit her work in the Biennale in Florence, Italy.

“We are very fortunate to now have her work join us in Armstrong,” states the release.

The Armstrong-Spallucheen Art Gallery is located at 3415 Pleasant Valley Rd. For more information, call 250-546-8318 or go to www.asmas.ca.

Fund gets kids in the game Morning Star Staff

The Canadian Paralympic Committee and Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities have launched a fund that will help more kids to get in the game.

The Parasport Jumpstart Fund will help cover the costs of sports and recreational programs for children between the ages of four and 18, who are financially disadvantaged and living with a disability.

“Organized sport and recreational activities teach young people critical life skills such as confidence and teamwork,” said Johnny Misley, president of Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities. “ Teaming up with the Canadian Paralympic Committee will allow us to assist families who have children with a disability to get active in their community.”

The Parasport Jumpstart Fund is intended to support the creation of a new program or go towards the expansion of an existing successful initiative.

Funds may be used towards registration, transportation and equipment costs for children within approved parasport programs.

“The Parasport Jumpstart Fund is a great initiative that will help more Canadian children with a disability get involved in organized and recreational sports,” said François Robert, executive director of Partnerships for the Canadian Paralympic Committee.

Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities will accept applications from sports and community organizations to the Parasport Jumpstart Fund until Oct. 29.

Funds will be allo-

cated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Live Well

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist IAN JOHNSTONE

Air purifiers are really air cleaners and won’t remove gaseous pollutants like cigarette smoke.

Since particles of tobacco smoke are designed to be inhaled into the lugs, they are quite small. The best protection from second-hand smoke is to not allow smokers to smoke in your house.

We tend not to run to the doctor for every little symptom but some symptoms can’t be ignored.

These include the following: a persistent high fever; shortness of breath; weight-loss that you can’t explain; flashes of light in the eyes; sudden mental changes like confusion or disorientation. If you experience any of these, see your doctor right away.

If you have a sore throat, it always feels worse in the morning because your throat gets dry overnight.

To soothe a sore throat, keep it moist. Suck on lozenges or hard candies to stimulate saliva production. Drinking plenty of fluids is also important. If the sore throat persists for more than a few days, see your doctor.

This year’s flu vaccine will contain protection against four strains of flu virus rather than the three we are used to in the past. Called a quadrivalent vaccine, it will contain vaccine to protect against two strains of both Influenza A and Influenza B. This new vaccine promises to be more effective for people over 65.

When you need information about flu shots, our pharmacists are up-to-date on the current knowledge.

Melbourne an active force in sports Kevin Mitchell Sports Editor

A prized Louisville Slugger hockey stick sold for $6.99, skate sharpening was $1.50 and ash trays were placed at the end of shotgun barrels in an unlocked case.

Those were gentler, more simple times at Sun Valley Sports in downtown Vernon.

Mike Melbourne has seen loads of change since he started working for the store as a part-time student earning $2.50 an hour, in 1977. Five different locations and five decades later, Melbourne is an owner and manager of the Source For Sports outlet.

“I walked into the store wearing a pinstriped suit because I was working for Jack Graves at the funeral home,” recalled Melbourne, 52.

“Peter Rooke, the manager, hired me, and the next day I was sweeping the sidewalks.

I remember we used a Hoover vaccuum to sharpen skates and I remember selling my first pair of skates. They were CCM Tacks worth $139.98 and that skate, today, sells for $600.”

The downtown stores served as regular Hot Stove Leagues for hockey talk and Melbourne smiles as he recalls the likes of local legends Ernie Kowal, Odie Lowe and Walt Trentini spending more than a few minutes each visit.

As an owner, Melbourne has hired scores of Junior A players, including Kyle Bigos, Mike Ford, Travis Brisebois and Brent Dodginghorse.

“Bigos wrote on his picture, ‘Best job I ever had.’ It was the first and only job he ever had. He told me if he ever reached the NHL, he’d send me a ticket.”

Melbourne walked up from the old Fulton school in Polson Park to the first Sun Valley site across from Eaton’s on main street, owned by Bruce Barnard. Les Viel’s Gun Shop was located inside the shop so Melbourne often measured pheasant tails and fish brought in by outdoorsmen.

A few moves later, Sun Valley was situated at the corner of 30th Avenue and 34th Street until it was destroyed by fire in April, 1995.

“Seven weeks after the fire, the employees bought the store (from Lynn Spraggs) and we had six equal partners.”

After seven years near the Upper Room Mission, they bought a building in the north end near Wendy’s Restaurant, and were down to three partners. Melbourne and Marg Griffin bought out longtime staffer Al Tomiak in 2007.

“I make a decent living,” said Melbourne, who is heavily involved in the community

kevin mitchell/morning star

Mike Melbourne has played an active role in the north Okanagan’s sports community since he started at Sun valley Sports in 1977. through Silver Star Rotary, Special Olympics, freestyle ski club, KidSport and coaching Rep soccer. “The building is Marg and I’s retirement. I want to work at least 10 more years and then I’d like to work part-time five or six months a year.”

His stick inventory today is worth more than the entire store’s inventory was 10 years ago with the $300 Bauer APX, the composite twig kids seek the most. Stiff competition, including Internet sites, make it harder to make a dollar.

Sun Valley tries to make a difference with knowledgable staff such as veterans Dana Hoover and Wendy Giger, who are ski and snowboard experts.

“It’s not so much about competing,” said Melbourne.

“It’s trying to do things better. If it’s head to head with product, we should be able to offer the customer better service.”

Sun Valley designed and crested the new minor hockey Rep jerseys, and it’s going the extra mile for local groups through sponsorships and donations which Melbourne hopes will reap business whereby “they think of us and at least give us a chance.”

Vernon’s Tom Arkell, now a lawyer in

Chicago, played minor hockey here before joining the Nanaimo Clippers and earning a scholarship with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

He has fond memories of Sun Valley.

“I will always cherish going to Sun Valley with my dad (Ken, a retired judge, now 82) when it was on main street,” said Arkell.

“I remember him joking with Mike when I would try on skates. I made a point of taking my son, Dawson, to buy his first pair of skates for Rep hockey from Mike.

“I also bought my first pair of skates after college from Mike. He was considerate and showed me some lower-end models to try and save me some money but I bought the most expensive skates in the store simply because they felt the best. Every pair of skates I wore in Vernon minor hockey were purchased from Mike. He is extremely knowledgeable, has a great personality and cares about his customers.”

Rosemary Manton spent many hours outfitting her sons, Rob and Leigh, back in the day, and now takes her four grandchildren to the store.

“I remember when you went down to the bottom of the store for skates,” said

Rosemary. “Mike was always around and so was Al Tomiak. They were great to deal with. I got prizes from Mike when I was division manager and I went in there to pick up socks, not just in hockey, but soccer and other stuff.”

Melbourne regularly attends buying shows in places like Denver, Niagara Falls and Toronto. He just used Air Miles to take his oldest son Brandon, to an NFL Ravens’ game in Baltimore. He has coached both Brandon and son, Josh in Rep soccer. He has two adult daughters, Lindsay and Jennifer, from a previous marriage.

He credits his wife, Rhonda, with being the rock in the family.

“We’ve been married 16 years and she worked three different jobs when times were tough and we first got into the business. We wouldn’t have made it without her help.”

Mike enjoys golf and fishing, and just came out of retirement to play oldtimers hockey with the Moonshiners.

He is a huge Bobby Orr fan.

“I got to meet him three times at our hockey shows. The first time was in Boston.

I cried like a baby the first two times. I have a shrine at home.”

Heliskiing ready to soar

Kingfisher helisKiing photo

Vernon-based Kingfisher Heliskiing is ready to tackle the Monashee Mountains in December.

Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Kingfisher Heliskiing is set to open a world of first descents and pristine Monashee Mountain terrain as B.C.’s newest heli-skiing operation.

Guests of Kingfisher Heliskiing will get the opportunity to explore, ski or snowboard and name their own run, leaving a mark on the Kingfisher map forever.

“It’s like opening a candy store,” said owner and lead guide Tim Shenkariuk.

“There is so much amazing terrain in this tenure and most of it has never seen skied before.”

Featuring 120,000 acres of alpine and tree-skiing in the central Monashee range, the Kingfisher Heliskiing experience offers two packages. One is with the Gold Panner Lodge in Cherryville and the other is with Vernon’s Sparkling Hill Resort.

“We can’t wait to kick operations off in December,” said Shenkariuk.

Chambers demanding action from Ottawa Morning Star Staff

Canadian business leaders meeting in the Okanagan have urged Ottawa to fix Canada’s Blue Skies policy and reverse changes to the temporary foreign worker program.

At the Canadian Chamber of Commerce annual general meeting in Kelowna, delegates backed these two policies from the B.C. Chamber of Commerce and its network of local chambers.

John Winter “Canada’s business community has come together to say, ‘Mr. Harper, Canada’s restrictive air policy and gutted temporary foreign worker program are hurting Canada’s businesses,’” said John Winter, B.C.

chamber president.

“When Canada’s business community, from coast to coast to coast, calls for change, you know these issues matter.”

Winter explained that, on the air access issue, Canada’s Blue Skies policy doesn’t go far enough to enable B.C. to tap into the global marketplace.

“From B.C.’s perspective, with an export-oriented economy and a big tourism industry, we need a more competitive air policy to allow both goods and people to travel at competitive prices,” Winter said.

“But this isn’t just a B.C. issue. When chambers across the country backed our policy, it was clear that businesses want progress on air access.”

With regards to temporary foreign workers, Winter says key sectors from construction to tourism to the digital industries rely heavily on the pro-

gram to hire skill sets that aren’t available locally.

“Program changes announced in April are already hitting B.C. companies, causing hiring delays, and making the program unusable for many small businesses,” he said.

“When business leaders from across Canada backed our policy, it confirmed that Canada as a whole is feeling this fallout as well.”

Winter believes the policies endorsed by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce AGM send a strong and clear message to government.

“The national chamber movement represents Canada’s largest, most diverse and most community-based business voice,” he said.

“When chambers across Canada join together to call for policy change, we’re saying to Ottawa, ‘Canada’s business community is urging this change T:5.67” so that our country can move forward.’”

Travellers encounter a typical stop along an Amazon River tributary while travelling on a cargo boat in Peru.

Travelling on the cheap chris mcbeath Special To The Morning Star

PERU - Chickens and bananas are also on board, so cruise might be a misnomer for this meander up an Amazon tributary in northern Peru, but for adventurers, it doesn’t get much better – or cheaper.

But be warned.

Accommodation is intimately communal.

Meals are whatever the tiny galley dishes up out of pots large enough for a stewed possum or two. And facilities include humidity-killer

cold showers (remember, this is the steamy jungle) of murky river water.

Still, if you’re armed with your own hammock, a bowl and a spoon, you’ll be set to experience one of the cheapest, all-inclusive cruises around.

Catching one of these vessels is a quest unto itself. The key is to get to Yurigamaus, a scruffy little port town that scarcely hints to its former glory days of the rubber boom on Avenida Arica. To get

there, however, you first need to fly to Tarapoto, a necessary – and the only accessible - transfer point for moving on to Yurigamaus.

Located in the Andean foothills in the heart of the north eastern Peruvian jungle, Tarapoto is not the most salubrious place so plan to arrive in daylight. A hoard of MotorKars will greet you at the airport, ready to rattle you across the dirt roads to a colectivo, a group of cabs that make the two hour journey over the Cordillera Escalera mountains to Yurigamaus with whomever they can cram into their vehicles.

Once in Yurigamaus, catch a MotorKars to the muddy, rutted shore where numerous boats lie in various stages of (dis)repair and cargo loads.

Passengers are considered cargo alongside cattle, corn and sacks of potatoes, except that as human-freight you get to negotiate your passage with the captain. Locals gravitate to the cheaper ($24 U.S.) middle deck where the heat of the engine room wafts up and mingles its greasy aromatics with those of the kitchen.

Tourists and more affluent travelers head for the upper deck ($40) where breezes and views are pretty much guaranteed.

Arrive early and you have your pick of

air-space. But don’t get too smug because the boat doesn’t get underway until all three decks are pretty much crammed to capacity which invariably means delayed departures.

Chances are that you and your hammock will be reduced to a fivedegree swing before the loading’s done.

Bumping buttocks with your neighbour makes for instant friendships even if Spanish isn’t in your repertoire.

And surprisingly, traveling in such close quarters means that privacy is very much respected and save for youngsters with a curiosity for all things foreign, your hammock space quickly becomes sacrosanct so catching up with a good book and snoozing through the afternoon is an easy bliss.

If you’ve purchased the all-inclusive package, three meals a day are part of the deal.

Breakfast is usually a grey liquid with a floating oat or two, barely flavoured with a vanilla bean, and served with two large buttered buns.

Lunch and dinner, however, offer carbogenerous servings of rice, lima beans, potatoes, plantain and either pieces of bony fish or scrawny chicken bought from thatched hut villages along the way.

If you’re on a passage-only ticket, as most of the locals are, one

yields to throngs of vendors who swarm aboard peddling everything from fresh fish to live turtles.

Mouth-watering mangoes. Citrus limes.

Pucallpas. Lucumas.

And an array of homecooked offerings such as corn-on-the-cob and stir-fry stews.

Watching the organized chaos of goods being loaded and unloaded is the real entertainment. The corralling of obstinate cattle and scatter-brained pigs. The stacking of endless sacks of rice and potatoes. Eggs piled as precariously high as the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

And stalk upon stalk of bananas, some delivered via pequepeques (small dugouts with outboard motors) that come alongside mid-river as both vessels drift in the current.

Many stops are impromptu, signalled with flipping tin sheets in the sun to telegraph they have cargo to add.

Everyone is subject to the river’s vagrancies and different boats deliver different experiences.

But if you have a go-with-the-flow attitude, few expectations and no pressing need to be anywhere in particular, you’ll find this cheapskate cruise to be packed with experiential value.

To combat disease from abuse of cheap high-alcohol drinks, they are seeking a minimum price of $3 per standard drink consumed on site and $1.50 for off sales.

They also want pricing tied to alcohol content, so youth and others aren’t encouraged to buy high-strength drinks.

They oppose any decrease in the drinking age of 19.

The province has indicated it isn’t considering changes to pricing or taxation, which provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall said is unfortunate.

B.C. police chiefs are urging the provincial government to give their officers more power to haul gangsters out of bars and restaurants.

That’s one of the suggestions received so far by the government’s liquor policy review, which is expected to lead to significant reforms.

“The province has been dealing with a wave of gang violence with many shootings occurring in and around licensed premises,” said Bob Rich, who chairs the legislative

drugs, and not just liquor.

The submission also suggests the courts could order detoxification and treatment for the chronically intoxicated.

Another proposal would let police temporarily seize the guns of hunters they catch with open liquor.

Medical health officers are cautioning the government against letting liquor flow more freely.

They want the province to freeze or cut the number of private liquor retailers and ban online ordering and delivery.

committee of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police.

Rich called for province-wide police power to unilaterally remove anyone they decide poses a risk to the public in a licensed establishment.

He said police already work with establishments through the Barwatch program to remove gang members, but owners or staff can be intimidated by gangsters.

The police chiefs association also wants the definition of public drunkenness expanded to allow the arrest of people intoxicated by

other improvements.

Stone cited a 28 per cent drop in injurycausing collisions since 2003.

Stone stressed decreases in the speed limit are also possible.

“This review is not about increasing speed limits, it’s about making sure we have the right speed limits.”

Public forums on the issue will be held in Kamloops, Chilliwack, Vancouver, Nanaimo, Prince George, Dawson Creek, Cranbrook and Kelowna starting in November, with potentially more sites still to be added.

communities, not highways in urban areas of the Lower Mainland, although which specific corridors to adjust will be subject to public input.

He said a higher speed limit in some stretches of highway has been made possible by billions of dollars in major road upgrades since the last review in 2003, including 180 additional kilometres of four- or six-lane highway.

He also said vehicles are “much safer today than 10 years ago” as a result of traction stability control, anti-lock brakes and

Transportation Minister Todd Stone wants B.C. residents to weigh in on a potential increase in highway speed limits now under consideration.

Stone announced the formal review of speed limits Friday although he had previously indicated it was coming and technical work is already underway.

The Coquihalla Highway already has a speed limit of 110 kilometres per hour but traffic there does an average speed of 118,

while drivers routinely exceed the posted limit of 90 or 100 on many other provincial highways.

“There’s no question the Coquihalla is a prime candidate for an adjustment in the speed limit,” Stone said, also listing sections of Highway 1 in the Lower Mainland and around Kamloops as well as the Cariboo Connector towards Prince George.

It’s been a decade since B.C. last reviewed speed limits.

Stone said any increases would involve mainly rural provincial highways between

To combat disease from abuse of cheap high-alcohol drinks, they are seeking a minimum price of $3 per standard drink consumed on site and $1.50 for off sales.

They also want pricing tied to alcohol content, so youth and others aren’t encouraged to buy high-strength drinks.

They oppose any decrease in the drinking age of 19.

The province has indicated it isn’t considering changes to pricing or taxation, which provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall said is unfortunate.

B.C. police chiefs are urging the provincial government to give their officers more power to haul gangsters out of bars and restaurants.

That’s one of the suggestions received so far by the government’s liquor policy review, which is expected to lead to significant reforms.

“The province has been dealing with a wave of gang violence with many shootings occurring in and around licensed premises,” said Bob Rich, who chairs the legislative

drugs, and not just liquor.

The submission also suggests the courts could order detoxification and treatment for the chronically intoxicated.

Another proposal would let police temporarily seize the guns of hunters they catch with open liquor.

Medical health officers are cautioning the government against letting liquor flow more freely.

They want the province to freeze or cut the number of private liquor retailers and ban online ordering and delivery.

committee of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police.

Rich called for province-wide police power to unilaterally remove anyone they decide poses a risk to the public in a licensed establishment.

He said police already work with establishments through the Barwatch program to remove gang members, but owners or staff can be intimidated by gangsters.

The police chiefs association also wants the definition of public drunkenness expanded to allow the arrest of people intoxicated by

other improvements.

Stone cited a 28 per cent drop in injurycausing collisions since 2003.

Stone stressed decreases in the speed limit are also possible.

“This review is not about increasing speed limits, it’s about making sure we have the right speed limits.”

Public forums on the issue will be held in Kamloops, Chilliwack, Vancouver, Nanaimo, Prince George, Dawson Creek, Cranbrook and Kelowna starting in November, with potentially more sites still to be added.

communities, not highways in urban areas of the Lower Mainland, although which specific corridors to adjust will be subject to public input.

He said a higher speed limit in some stretches of highway has been made possible by billions of dollars in major road upgrades since the last review in 2003, including 180 additional kilometres of four- or six-lane highway.

He also said vehicles are “much safer today than 10 years ago” as a result of traction stability control, anti-lock brakes and

Transportation Minister Todd Stone wants B.C. residents to weigh in on a potential increase in highway speed limits now under consideration.

Stone announced the formal review of speed limits Friday although he had previously indicated it was coming and technical work is already underway.

The Coquihalla Highway already has a speed limit of 110 kilometres per hour but traffic there does an average speed of 118,

while drivers routinely exceed the posted limit of 90 or 100 on many other provincial highways.

“There’s no question the Coquihalla is a prime candidate for an adjustment in the speed limit,” Stone said, also listing sections of Highway 1 in the Lower Mainland and around Kamloops as well as the Cariboo Connector towards Prince George.

It’s been a decade since B.C. last reviewed speed limits.

Stone said any increases would involve mainly rural provincial highways between

Bridge by Phillip Alder BE HAPPY TO TAKE WHAT’S NECESSARY Robert G. Allen, a Canadian-American businessman who has written several personalfinance books, said, “Don’t let the opinions of the average man sway you.

Dream, and he thinks you’re crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you’re lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you’re greedy. Pay no attention. He simply doesn’t understand.”

Bridge players who are greedy rarely achieve wealth -- they usually end up complaining about bad luck.

In today’s deal, how should South plan the play in four hearts after West leads a low diamond?

South wondered about a

slam opposite an opening bid, but he knew his side’s combined point-count was at most 29 (North’s twoheart raise indicating 12-14 points), which is insufficient for a slam unless there are distributional pluses -- shortages, or a side suit that can provide discards.

South has four possible losers: two spades, one diamond and one club.

But he has 10 available winners: one spade, six hearts, one diamond and two clubs.

It looks as though it cannot cost to take the diamond finesse at trick one. However, here East will win with his king and shift to a spade, which is clearly marked given the dummy.

Declarer can duck one

round and take the second spade, but when the club finesse fails, East will cash a spade for down one.

South must not be greedy. He should take the first trick with dummy’s ace, draw trumps and run the club jack. Yes, the finesse loses, but he has those 10 tricks.

Lowell Hugh Wilmot

DAISY H. WOCKNITZ August 27, 1923 – September 30, 2013

It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of our beloved Daisy, with her granddaughter Roni beside her as she leŌ us on Monday, September 30, 2013 at the impressive age of 90 years in Vernon, B.C.

Apr. 22, 1960 ~ Oct. 1, 2013 Age - 53 yrs Lowell Hugh Wilmot passed away unexpectedly aŌeƌ a shoƌt illness on Kct͘ ϭ͕ ϮϬϭϯ in seƌnon

Daisy was a feisty, English bird who dedicated her life to her family. She was born in Wraysbury, England, the eldest of 4 sisters: Vera, JeaneƩe, and Dorothy. She met and married her husband, <en, a Canadian soldier and celebrated the birth of their eldest daughter in England. They moved to <imberley and celebrated the birth of their youngest daughter 8 years later. Daisy resided in <imberley unƟl she moved to live with her eldest granddaughter aŌer the birth of her great grandsons. She loved to knit and bake for her granddaughters. She enũoyed her brief sƟnt as a “Homemaker” in <imberley. Her pasƟmes included: SHOPPING, playing cards with family, dancing to music, “whammy-ing” whoever played against the Canucks (waiƟng for them to win the Cup) and listening to her great grandsons play the piano for her.

She was predeceased by: her husband, <en (April 1992); daughter, Debbie (September 1999); sister JeaneƩe in England; as well as son-in-law John Jonker. Daisy will be deeply mourned by: her sisters Vera (Vernon) and Dorothy (England); her daughter Brenda Beauchene (Byron); granddaughter Roni (Mark Van Wyk); great grandsons Liam and ThĠo; granddaughter Mariũke Jonker; numerous nieces and nephews; stepfamily and in-laws; as well as all those whose lives she touched.

As reƋuested by Daisy, there will not be a funeral service. She will be laid to rest beside her husband and daughter during a private family gathering at the <imberley Cemetery.
