A troubling trend online JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

ocial networking may be fun, sharing photos and connecting with friends, but it can also get you in a lot of trouble.

A 16-year-old is learning that the hard way, facing criminal charges for taking photographs of a sex assault in Pitt Meadows, which were distributed to hundreds of teens via Facebook.

The Lower Mainland case has literally gone global, not just in the media, but in the schools as well.

“I guarantee that there are kids in the (Vernon) school district that have access to that,” said Doug Rogers, Vernon School District’s substance abuse prevention counsellor.

While the Pitt Meadows case may be extreme, local authorities say they are dealing with cases of distribution of child pornography within Vernon schools. And they hope to impress on youth just how serious the consequences can be.

Vernon RCMP Const. Kathy Szoboticsanec, school liaison officer, provides an example of a teen who had a picture of an ex-girlfriend engaged in sexual activity and was using it against her.

The girl was mortified to see this picture being shared and the boy simply thought he was getting back at his ex, not realizing the seriousness of the matter.

“It’s distribution of

Youth are constantly online, texting, chatting and making “friends” in social networking sites, but authorities want to impress on local youth the potential dangers involved in social networking. child pornography,” said Szoboticsanec.

“Distribution of child pornography doesn’t look good when you go to apply for a job.”

With everybody on Facebook these days, teens are using it as their primary source to share photographs and information.

There are protections built in to Facebook, but with the average youth having upwards of 700 “friends” it’s hard to stop the unwanted spread of information.

One friend shares something with 700 friends, and another friend shares it with their 700 friends and so on.

Planning a party is one example of the math.

You invite 20 friends to a party, but before you know it, hundreds

With technology putting the internet at our fingertips, Const. Kathy Szoboticsanec, school liaison officer, is concerned about how much personal information local youth are sharing with the world and potential predators. hear about it and are planning to attend.

Not only are you opening the door to those outside your social group, but also to

those outside your age group.

These days parties, raves and events are a mix of ages ranging from 13 to 40. Most

kids tell Rogers the older people are just “old hippies,” but there’s concern for the possibility for predators.

Since these events tend to involve drugs and alcohol, it isn’t rare for kids to be intoxicated and vulnerable.

“This is so brutal but it’s not that rare,” said Szoboticsanec, urging parents to connect with their kids and talk to them about the risks.

APB – attitude, performance, behaviour – is one thing to watch for in youth when determining if they are using drugs or alcohol.

If they’re lying and sneaking around, that’s a wake-up call that it’s time to start setting some ground rules and carefully monitoring your kids, said Rogers.

■ Don’t rely on the digital leash – the cellphone.

■ Monitor school night socializing – the later teens stay out, the more likely they are to use alcohol or drugs.

■ Safeguard prescription drugs – which is now the No.1 drug abuse problem in the U.S. ■ Regularly talk about drugs and set a no-use policy.

■ Set a good example.

Rogers also advises that when your kids come home from events “get face to face, smell their breath, look in their eyes.”

But parents also need to educate themselves on how to protect their kids in their home.

There’s concern not just about who could show up at parties and take advantage of youth, but those who could show up in your child’s bedroom.

Outstanding Agents … Outstanding Results!

“That’s where pedophiles are now, they’re not looking in the windows, they’re online,” said Rogers. “Times have changed, there’s more weirdos and more access to weirdos.”

When it comes to online protection, both parents and kids need to understand how to adjust privacy settings on social networks such as Facebook.

Parents are urged to talk to their kids about the importance of limiting the information they share online to protect themselves from online predators as well as getting themselves in trouble with the law.

“It’s a very useful tool because it’s all evidence and most of these social networks are very co-operative because they want to be seen as legitimate,” warns Szoboticsanec.

Dalvir Nahal, with the Light A Bulb campaign, serves up a Whopper in preparation for a fundraiser at Burger King Friday. On that day, the restaurant will donate $1 to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for every Whopper sold.

All proceeds from Light A Bulb will support the Building a Tower of Care campaign, which is raising funds for medical equipment in the new patient care tower.

“In just over two years, the $7 million campaign has reached the $4 million mark, with another $1.5 million to come in pledges

and planned events,” said Nahal.

“This leaves the campaign with $1.5 million left to raise to meet the campaign goal. The patient care tower is scheduled to be completed in May and open to the public in September 2011.”

Since 1988, Light A Bulb has raised about $2.7 million for essen-

tial medical equipment at the hospital.

Each $35 tax deductible gift will light one bulb on the tree of lights on top of Vernon Jubilee Hospital. A donation of $500 will light an entire string.

“Every gift great or small brings us closer to our goal,” said Nahal.

“Please watch for the Light A Bulb bro-

chure arriving in the mail shortly. Your gift to Light A Bulb will help us to help you, your friends and family.”

Vernon and Coldstream councils, as well as the two electoral area directors, will hold a joint meeting to discuss an ongoing review of the regional function. “I’d like to see a final resolution from everyone,� said Wayne Lippert, Vernon mayor.

Under the proposed restructuring model, some facilities would remain regional assets, including the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, Wesbild Centre, Swan Lake Park and the Grey Canal trail.

All other parks and facilities would be considered local and be the sole responsibility of their host jurisdiction, including Polson Park, Kal Beach and Kin Beach.

Vernon and Coldstream have previously indicated that the current model doesn’t allow for local input over maintenance or planning.

Death not considered foul play ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Foul play has been ruled out in the death of a woman whose body was found in a parking lot outside an Enderby business Tuesday.

An autopsy on the victim was completed on Thursday.

“Officers from the South East District’s major crime unit have advised me that the preliminary autopsy results indicate there was no foul play associated to this death,” said RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk.

Police have not said how the woman died.

The woman has been identified as a 30-yearold from Kelowna, but police had been unable to release her name prior to the Morning Star’s deadline as they were still trying to locate some of her next-of-kin.

Her body was discovered just before midnight on Tuesday in the parking lot of Sutherland’s Bakery on Highway 97A. The file is still being investigated, and police are awaiting results from the RCMP crime lab to complete their investigation.

Winter driving alert issued ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

RCMP provincewide want motorists to realize, with winter fast approaching, that they can’t drive the same way on wet- or snow-covered roads as they do on dry surfaces.

Police send out the message to kick off Speed Relative to Road Conditions Month, which runs until Nov. 30.

“You must reduce your speed and allow more room between you and the vehicle in front of you,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk.

“You have to slow down. Just because the road says you can go 90- or 100-kilometres/ per hour doesn’t mean that’s what you can drive.”

Molendyk pointed out that the Interior of B.C. has already seen changing weather conditions with snow reported at Silver Star and on the Coquihalla Highway.

“As a result, the roads

“You have to slow down.”

— Gord Molendyk and driving conditions can be hazardous in a matter of minutes,” he said.

“If drivers do not adapt quickly, it could lead to crashes and those type of incidents on our roadways.”

During the month, police will be watching for motorists going too fast for road conditions.

Those caught could face a fine of $167 and three driver penalty points.

RCMP recommend

that motorists equip your vehicle with good winter tires, the first line of defence against inclement weather.

Plan well in advance of a trip and check travel and weather conditions on local and provincial TV, radio and Internet.

Do not use cruise control in wet or slippery conditions. Activating it gives you less control of being able to stop your vehicle.

Resident slams funds for meters ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Robert Thibeau believes Armstrong council is all wet with its desire to install water meters throughout the community.

Thibeau, who spearheaded a successful alternate approval process petition to deny council’s bid to borrow money to install meters, is angry that council is now looking at getting grant money to fund the project.

“At no time has this council sought to and/or obtained the approval of the majority of Armstrong voters to proceed with a water metering program,” said Thibeau.

“At no time has the majority of Armstrong voters given consent, implicit or otherwise, to spend our tax dollars on a water metering program.”

First aid class nears Morning Star Staff

St John Ambulance will offer free CPR instruction to members of the public Nov. 20 at its 47th Avenue training facility in Vernon.

The classes run at 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. and take about four hours.

“Knowledge of CPR is such a critical issue,” said Jeff Nelson, branch manager.

“Statistics indicate that more than 80 per cent of all cardiac arrests occur in the home and our goal is to have one person in every household trained in CPR”.

According to Nelson, saving lives requires quick response by bystanders to perform CPR until medical responders arrive.

“In far too many cases, CPR is not performed and by the time paramedics are on site with defibrillators to shock the heart and restore breathing, it’s too late,” he said.

Instruction is free but registration is required by calling 250545-4200.

“At no time has the majority of voters given consent.”

— Robert Thibeau City council announced in October it would apply for funds from the B.C. government’s Towns For Tomorrow program to help pay for the process of installing the meters.

Armstrong had hoped to borrow $450,000 of the estimated $750,000 price tag in the summer to pay for water meter installation.

But the alternate approval process

defeated the plan when more than 10 per cent of the population voted against it.

Thibeau said of all the Armstrong taxpayers he spoke with, 94 per cent signed the alternate approval petition; that only three per cent of these people were in favour of water meters but were against borrowing the money to fund them; six per cent didn’t care one way or another, and, according to Thibeau, 91 per cent were against both the borrowing of money and mandatory installation of water meters.

“If you are even remotely considering approval of council’s grant application, may I suggest that you make mandatory the condition that council must seek Armstrong resident approval in a binding referendum,” said Thibeau.

Directors deny building permit waiver — John Trainor Most board members were concerned that such a move would set a precedent.

“Look at Vernon Jubilee Hospital and they paid the full shot there,” said director Wayne Lippert of the new patient care tower being constructed.

Director John Trainor pointed out that IHA has imposed costly initiatives, like

water treatment, on local communities.

“We have to fund their projects for them somehow,” he said.

The permit fees for the Enderby health centre renovations are about $1,144.

“They are rather restricted in their funds,” said director Dee Wejr, who is also Enderby’s mayor.

Meat regulations impact video off to UBCM RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

North Okanagan politicians continue to push for changes to B.C.’s meat processing regulations.

The Union of B.C. Municipalities will get a copy of a video about how small-scale farmers have been impacted by the processing rules since 2007.

“We will distribute the video through UBCM’s network to the rest of the province,” said Rick Fairbairn, a North Okanagan Regional District director.

Sisters Shelley and Buffy Baumbrough developed the video, and they interview local farmers who push for humane, farm-gate slaughtering instead of shipping animals off to large facilities.

The main goal of the video is to push for Class E licenses which permit the on-farm slaughter of a small number of animals annually for direct sales to local consumers in rural communities that cannot support a fully licensed facility.

The licenses are only

available along the coast, although some government officials have indicated the licenses may be expanded to the North Okanagan.

“Everyone should have access to it and be aware of it,” said director Will Hansma of the video.

However, opposition

to circulating the video comes from director Mike Gavinchuk.

“It’s a propaganda portion that supports the status quo that used to be,” said Gavinchuk, who wants to hear from government officials about the rules.

“We’re only getting one side of the story

and it’s not right for the board to approve something we don’t have all of the information on.”

Gavinchuk’s comments about the video conflict with other board members.

“It’s not propaganda. it’s a point of view that needs to be heard,” said director Patrick Nicol.

Taxpayers won’t give the Interior Health Authority a break on building permit costs.

The North Okanagan Regional District denied a request Wednesday from IHA to waive permit costs associated with renovations to the Enderby Community Health Centre.

David Sewell, finance general manager, says there is nothing in the building bylaw that allows fees to be waived.

“You would have to cut them a cheque for the same value as the permits,” he told the board.

The $100,000 in renovations at the centre will increase the number of examination rooms.

“Unfortunately, it appears in the early stages that although construction costs will be within the allotted funding, architectural drawings, permits and HST may put us over budget,” said Louanne Ohlhauser, centre manager, in a letter to the regional district.

“Your help and co-operation is invaluable to help us as we maintain the health of the community.”

There is the possibility that the City of Enderby and the rural Enderby electoral area may consider IHA’s request on waiving fees.

End of an era

I

only met Gordon Campbell personally on two occasions and every time he was gracious and even warm, two personality traits that didn’t necessarily show themselves in the glare of what became his public persona.

In fact I would argue this lack of a common touch, at least publicly, is what betrayed him when the going got tough.

However, the first time was quite a few years ago, in fact it was so long ago I Glenn Mitchell think he was still opposition leader, so over a decade ago.

He was passing through town and I had arranged with Christy Clark, his assistant at the time, to interview him at The Morning Star office on a Saturday morning.

I was a bit nervous, you know him being allpowerful and everything, but I had questions prepared and I am a professional after all (ahem) so I wasn’t anticipating too much of a problem.

And when I unlocked the door and let him in I was taken aback by how charming he was. He quickly apologized for coming through on a weekend, commented on the building and asked a lot of questions about the newspaper.

Now I know he was just working the room as politicians do, and the interviewer who would deliver his message, but I was surprised by what seemed like genuine charisma from a guy who I had heard was stiff and even bland.

For the interview itself he kind of stuck to the script –“NDP bad, us good” – which was kind of disappointing and maybe pointed to part of the problem: real guy in private, all business to the media and public. Then again maybe it was more about my poor interviewing skills but it is what it is.

But not everybody can let their guard down and get away with it, especially these days when everything is so scrutinized and political correctness has run amok.

I understand he’s a bit of a control freak so that’s a factor when being interviewed, if you don’t stay

on topic there’s always the chance of being misquoted or worse, being quoted accurately on something you weren’t really prepared to speak about or had completely thought through.

That’s why Christy was there, to tape the interview and make sure everything was on the up and up.

The second time I ran into Campbell was at a Vancouver Canucks game and I noticed he was sitting a couple rows behind my son and I. I pointed him out to my son and he said matter-of-factly, “Oh, that’s the drunk guy.”

Yikes. It was shortly after his infamous Maui vacation and his police mug shot had been plastered over every media outlet. So much so that even my nine-year-old-son had noticed.

Between periods I shook his hand and introduced him to my son, who had the good sense to keep his mouth shut, and we let him slip back into his night out.

I felt sorry for him in one sense – who could live under such scrutiny and still carry on? – and thought that he had handled his major screw-up quite well by being humble and remorseful. And because of that he managed to keep his job and get re-elected again, and again.

But the HST was different. It was political. It seemed like a cynical money grab right after an election and during the summer when, hopefully, no one was paying attention. Not to mention the premier had earlier said he wouldn’t do it.

Sooooo, what may have seemed like a tempting offer from the feds and a minor risk politically at the time, seeing how the public had four years to get over it, instead ballooned into a grassroots exercise, led by Bill Vander Zalm (who knows a tax grab when he sees one), and the eventual demise of Mr. Campbell.

The ironies of this turn of events are virtually endless (the tax axer is axed by a tax heads the list) but the HST was mishandled from the beginning and someone had to take the rap and a leader near the end of his tenure anyways makes perfect sense.

So thanks Mr. Campbell for all your years of public service and for trying to do what you thought was right for B.C. We’ll soon see if we’re better off without you, or not.

A lot can happen in nine years. Just ask Gordon Campbell, who was first elected in a landslide victory nine years ago in 2001 with popularity ratings through the roof.

That’s not so true anymore now that Campbell has announced his resignation, shortly after his political popularity was languishing at a somewhat ironic nine per cent in the polls.

But while many things have changed in B.C. since 2001, one thing that has not is the minimum wage. Frozen at $8 an hour, and $6 for a starting wage, B.C.’s minimum wage earners have been trying to make it on the same wages they made nine years ago.

The cost of living hasn’t suddenly become any cheaper during that time and, recent income tax cuts aside, people trying to make ends meet have had few breaks; indeed the HST was another Liberal kick in the teeth.

Nine years ago, B.C. had the highest minimum wage in the country, now it is the lowest.

However, B.C. certainly doesn’t have the lowest cost of living of all the Canadian provinces.

The government argues raising the minimum wage will destabilize a fragile economy; however, this has not been the case in other Canadian provinces, which have similar economic realities and still have made increases to the minimum wage.

It is time the Liberals saw fit to give minimum-wage earners a raise to $10 an hour, while encouraging employers to pay a living wage.

The government may think they have nine lives, but come election time, they should remember those earning minimum wage can also vote.

Turning the tap on new era

A

n open letter to the District of Coldstream, the City of Vernon and the North Okanagan Regional District regarding equity in water quality, distribution, delivery, rates and infrastructure cost allocation First, thank you. Duteau Creek water customers are now receiving drastically improved water quality.

For years some 15,000 residents on the Duteau water source have received tea-coloured water full of organic particles and potential health hazards which has resulted in many boil water advisories. The completion of the treatment plant and the much improved water is a very important step and achievement.

Our next steps are equally important. As Interior Health regulations demand increasing treatment, it is important that we maximize the use of our resources. Infrastructure costs, delivery decisions and the rates residents will be charged are key considerations. We believe it is vital that agricultural and domestic water uses are separated as per the original master water plan recommendations.

As the size of treatment plants is contingent on the amount of water treated, we can drastically cut the size and cost of treatment plants by simply separating out water for agriculture use. While the initial expense to separate the two systems is sizable, the long-term benefits are immense.

It is very important when considering the burden of costs for such

infrastructure improvements to remember historical agreements. The City of Vernon was only able to secure water licenses to serve the expanding population because Coldstream and agricultural users gave their water licenses to the city in exchange for an agreement of ongoing water distribution and rates for agricultural users which would not rise in excess of the cost of living index.

Agricultural water users do not need treated water for crops and livestock. They do need reasonable water rates so as to not jeopardize the costeffectiveness of farming which is a low margin industry and one that is vital to all of our livelihoods.

Residential customers deserve fair and equitable water rates. Last year, Greater Vernon water rates were 75 per cent higher than Kelowna water rates. Why? Greater Vernon Water is padding the water bills to build an infrastructure reserve. This is not what the residents voted for in the 2004 referendum. The cost to finance

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY Concerning the letter to the editor printed Oct. 27 regarding the consumer who accesses services at Independent Living Vernon, and was hit by a vehicle while riding his scooter: I would like to thank the community for its concerns regarding this consumer and The Morning Star for printing my letter.

I would especially like to thank the well-meaning individual who did immediately come forward and took responsibility for their part concerning this incident.

Everything was taken care of before noon on the day the letter was printed.

the $35 million master water plan was to be spread evenly over 20 years so as to not burden the tax payer.

Instead, Greater Vernon has charged excessive rates above and beyond the funds needed to pay for the $35 million financing and collected approximately $12.4 million in reserves.

Why is this unfair? It unduly burdens the taxpayer. Let’s deal with one master water plan and the costs associated with it at a time. Further, as project costs continue to rise, the value of the reserve diminishes. It is better to borrow the money when the project is ready to proceed.

We, the ratepayers of Coldstream, offer the following suggestions to obtain a fair and equitable billing system.

All infrastructure capital costs to be approved by referendum and recovered on municipal taxes, through long-term amortization. Costs would be per household and not based on property value.

The scooter will soon be repaired and I am happy to report this consumer will be accessing our roads much safer with tail lights and reflectors.

Lisa Kongsdorf, Independent Living Vernon SEWER REFUND We read with disbelief the article in the Oct. 27, 27 Morning Star entitled "Sewer refund possible`."

Councillor Maria Besso hit the nail on the head when she says the right thing to do is to give the money back to the people.

This is their money, not yours.

I now wonder what kind of council and chief

Water rates would be determined by operational costs only. A low base rate would be established for the first 100 cubic meters. Usage over and above this minimum allocation would be up charged on a tier system dependent on volume. This system is fair to every household regardless of size and promotes conservation.

Agricultural users would receive untreated water at the rate structure established to service this water source inclusive of historical agreements. A tier system could be used for consumption over and above the minimum allocation.

It is important that all of our communities work together to deliver quality water at fair and equitable rates for all users. We cannot afford to waste valuable dollars on lawsuits or engage in power struggles. We suggest the current governance structure with one body and representation as follows: two from Coldstream, three from Vernon, one each from Areas B and C and one from the agricultural community. We believe this structure has worked, and can continue to work successfully.

We also suggest that water quality and distribution should be the primary focus and concern for all Greater Vernon communities.

As valuable as other infrastructure projects may be – water needs should be dealt with first.

Steeve Heeren, president Coldstream Ratepayers Association

administrative officer we have when they would not agree with this, and say they would look at options for a possible refund in the future after we look at the full utility picture.

Does this mean the extra $118,000 could be used for other things, or a shortfall in your budgeting?

In our mind, this is bordering on theft from the people. Our sewer cost is almost double what it was last quarter and we can certainly use the refund just as well as you can. And it is our money to begin with.

I think council must rethink this situation and do what is best for the residents of Coldstream.

Harvey and Peggy Youden

ANIMAL WELFARE Regarding the degradation of wild animals by circuses. The idea that the capture of these magnificent wild animals is partly to help educate our children is ridiculous. It's far better to educate young people to appreciate the fact that all animals are to be respected and cared for.

We are sure many support our feelings on this subject and perhaps city council will take suitable measures to prevent this supposed entertainment from visiting our city in the future.

DeVolder worked with Schryer and Wagner, going to each village and comparing dialects.

They developed a writing system for the language, which had only previously been oral, with no standardized writing system.

“From there we made books and language charts and gave them to the schools,” said DeVolder, who is also working on a dictionary to send back to the villages.

At just 21-years-old Chara DeVolder has learned more languages than most people will in a lifetime. On top of that, the Vernon woman is working to keep any form of the art of language from reaching extinction.

DeVolder, a linguistic anthropology student at UBC Okanagan, has been fascinated by language since she was a little girl uttering her first words.

“It’s in my genetics, for sure,” said DeVolder, whose father speaks German and mother speaks Cantonese, along with English.

But she’s concerned for the future of language, specifically the many Indigenous languages (which there are many of right here in B.C.) that are on the brink of extinction.

“Languages are becoming endangered everyday,” said DeVolder. “People are having the tendency to learn English and lose their other languages.”

The majority of people aren’t aware that this is happening, yet DeVolder points out that they know all about animals on the brink of extinction and can list endangered species.

Therefore DeVolder has literally been working to preserve the art of words.

She returned from Papau New Guinea earlier this year where she spent two months helping to preserve endangered Indigenous languages.

Motor home fire suspicious Lumby RCMP are investigating a suspicious motor home fire.

The incident happened the night of Oct. 28 at a trailer park in the 400 block of Mabel Lake Road.

“The RV was being stored for the winter at that location,” said Lumby RCMP Cpl. Henry Proce.

News Derby girls hit the rink

CONSTRUCTION ZONE! We know it’s hard to get here, so we thought we’d make it worth your while!

JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

Enderby’s own Rivertown Roller Girls are ready to rumble.

The local roller derby team are up against the Babes of Brutality from Salmo for their first official bout at the Hassen Arena in Armstrong Saturday.

The Rookie Rumble is open to anyone interested in checking out the increasingly popular sport and cheer on the girls. Doors open at 6 p.m., whistle blows at 7.

There will be an exciting halftime show with audience participation – a giant sumo wrestling competition.

The local girls are pumped for their first official bout, after months of intense training two times a week over the past year.

Dawn Mace, aka Redneck Whiskey Devil (each of the girls have derby names), says it’s an exciting sport full of camaraderie.

“I joined to try a new hobby or sport and get out and meet friends, plus it’s great exercise,” said No. 666.

Mace admits that it can be rough at times, as roller derby is a contact sport, but that’s why the girls go through intensive training.

“You’ve always got to be on your toes. You have to know your falls and stops. Anyway to prevent injury, we’re taught how to fall.”

The team of approximately 20 girls has suffered a couple broken bones and sprains, but their determination

remains strong.

Their love for the sport rings true in their motto: “Eat, sleep, DERBY, rinse, repeat.”

The team consists of women of all ages, shapes and sizes from all different groups of people.

You don’t have be a big girl to play, and slender 5’9” Mace is proof of that, weighing in at a mere 150 pounds.

“You can be who you are and who you want to be and we will love you for it,” states their website (www.erdabc. com).

New members are always welcome and no experience is necessary as they will teach you everything you need to know.

Everyone is encouraged to come check out the rockin’ world of roller derby at the upcoming Rookie Rumble.

There will be a merchandise table, door prizes and a 50/50 draw.

The event is $10 in advance, $12 at the door, kids 13 and under are free. All of the money

“Food delivery days are an orgy of gorging. The spinach has to be eaten first, then the chard, then the broccoli, then the cauliflower.

Always in that order as that is how well they will keep,” Czajkowski writes in the book.

“Cases of fruit are sorted. Some pieces will be put aside for eating fresh, the rest must be prepared for the canner and processed the following morning.

Some produce must be canned or dried at once.”

Eggs and potatoes are stored in an insulated hole under the floor of the cabin.

Within the cookbook, Czajkowski recounts many of her favourite recipes, including fruit bread, sourdough pancakes,

Most of us can just run to the store if we’ve unexpectedly run out of a key ingredient in the kitchen, but not Chris Czajkowski.

The author lives in the wilderness between Bella Coola and Williams Lake — 20 kilometres from a road, 60 kilometres from the closest store and 250 kilometres from a town with a supermarket.

“I’ve never ran out of anything essential,” said Czajkowski, who will speak about her latest book, A Wilderness Dweller’s Cookbook, during a presentation at the Greater Vernon Museum Thursday at 7 p.m.

“But if I run out, I run out. I’ve gone without eggs for two or three weeks.”

Czajkowski decided to write the book after promoting her previous titles across the province.

“Every time I go to a slide show, the first question is how do I eat and how do I get my food, so I thought this was a good idea to answer those questions,” she said.

Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation Newsletter 2101 - 32nd Street, Vernon, BC V1T 5L2 Phone: 250-558-1362 • Fax: 250-558-4133 • email: info@vjhfoundation.org • web site: www.vjhfoundation.org

Campaign Report We are pleased to report that the challenge of raising seven million dollars is within our reach. With two years under our belt, we have raised $4 million, with another $1.5 million to come in pledges and planned events.

We have accomplished this thanks to generous gifts, large and small that have been given in support of the equipment needs for our new Patient Care Tower at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. We wish to thank everyone who has generously contributed to the success of the campaign and urge those who haven’t to do so. We would like to see the goal reached by the time the Tower is completed next May. We cannot stop now because the Foundation has already begun to flow funds to purchase medical equipment for the new tower. Over the coming months IHA requires $4 million to finalize the needed purchases.

The campaign will still be short $1.5 million and we know this will be the most difficult part of the campaign, so it is even more important that we have your help this year. Your donations will ensure that the new hospital has all of the state-of-the art medical technology that will offer our hard working healthcare workers new modern tools to better care for each of us.

We continue to be amazed at how the community has supported the Building a Tower of Care Campaign. Since last spring so many have come forward …… 105.7 SUN FM through its Astral Media National Day of Caring for Kids Radiothon raised $43,000 … Desert Cove Homeowners Association donated $16,000 … The Rice Box, $3000 … JCI Vernon organized its first Gala in support of the campaign in May, raising just under $20,000 … Kal Tire Corp committed $100,000 to the campaign … District #22 School Board’s Toony Drive raised $4200 … Kalamalka Rotary Club organized its first ever Pro-Am Golf Tournament raising $20,000 ... Municipal Information System Association (MISA) Conference donated over $10,000 and Service Clubs like Kalamalka Rebekka Lodge #6 continue to support the cause. Children come forth with their gifts to our new Hospital.

Recognizing the high cost of medical equipment, local singer, Mica Lemiski raised more than $500 from the proceeds of a concert she gave this past summer.

The highlight of the summer was the combined Gala evening and Home Hardware VJHF Golf Tournament held at Predator Ridge August 27th, and 28th. We were delighted that the event netted $125,000. This is no doubt the result of the hard work of each of the volunteers who worked on the event. The committee has already started its planning in preparation for next year’s event. We wish to thank the organizers for their hard work that resulted in an amazing event.

“Let’s work hard to top off the campaign” Joanne Kineshanko Campaign Co-Chairs

Laurie Postill

Remembering Significant Contributions One of the exciting consequences of the expansion at Vernon Jubilee Hospital is having an opportunity to recognize significant contributions through the naming of areas of the new Tower. One of the earliest pledges of support came from local Rotary Clubs.

Rotarians are known world wide for their humanitarian, voluntary service. Locally, Kalamalka Rotary took the lead, to involve other Rotary Clubs in supporting the new Paediatric and Maternity floor.

This support will result in the naming of the 4th floor in recognition of Greater Vernon Rotary Clubs. Then just over Cheryl Schmidt, Joanne Kineshanko a year ago, the Colin and Lois Pritchard and Darryl O’Brian Foundation came forward with a generous gift that recognized Colin’s parents, Arthur and Angela, by naming the 2nd floor of the new outpatient or Ambulatory Care floor in their memory. Both of Colin’s parents had a strong connection to the community and the hospital. Arthur Pritchard was the Reeve of Coldstream in the 1960s and his wife, Angela had completed her nursing training and was a nurse at Vernon Jubilee Hospital in the 1930’s.

More recently the Physicians at Vernon Jubilee wanted to recognize the medical contributions of two doctors to the Hospital; a father and son, Dr. Finley Armanious and Dr. Peter Armanious. Dr. Finley is an excellent doctor of internal medicine who has been a fixture at the hospital for many years. One patient was quoted as saying “Wish more doctors were like him. Dr A is extremely compassionate, caring and one of the best doctors I have ever met. What a kind true gentleman he is. Vernon Hospital is Dr. Finley Armanious extremely lucky to have this man still in practise!!!”

Dr. Peter Armanious was a prominent Cardiologist at Vernon Jubilee who died tragically in a car accident in the early 1990s. The 5th floor of the new tower will be named the Drs. Finley and Peter Armanious Intensive and Cardiac Care Units.

Other floors and rooms are being named in recognition of corporations, service clubs and individual contributions. Naming opportunities still remain. For those interested in learning more, contact VJH Foundation... info@vjhfoundation.org.

8th Annual Wine Women and Woods Golf Tournament raised $75,000 Through the Cooperation of the BC/Yukon Region of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation & the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation, $75,000 was raised to purchase a FAXITRON for VJH to be used in diagnosing and treating Breast Cancer.

Heart Beat News from IHA North Okanagan The one year countdown to our new tower

has started! On September 23, the staff at Vernon Jubilee heralded this momentous year with a very well attended town hall meeting facilitated by a local hero and Para-Olympian, Josh Dueck, who has joined our team as a “coach” for the important work we will be doing in the year ahead. Josh encouraged us to acknowledge the amazing work which has been completed on our new tower to date and look forward with pride to the important planning work we will be undertaking during the coming months, to make our move as smooth as possible.

Feedback from everyone attending was extremely positive and we were all energized by Josh’s inspiring message!

Once again this year, the staff, physicians and patients at VJH would like to thank our Foundation, and all our donors for your ongoing support of the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation’s Tower of Care Campaign! We literally couldn’t do it without you! The recent “Predator Ridge Golf Tournament” made $125,000 towards our Tower of Care campaign in its inaugural year, which is an amazing accomplishment and testament to the hard work of our Foundation Board and staff. Our Foundation’s untiring efforts to help finance critical equipment purchases will allow us to optimize health care dollars and enhance the great level of care we’re able to provide for our community. That said, while our campaign has been very successful to date, more dollars are needed to reach our goal so we are asking the community for its ongoing support of our Foundation’s Campaign activities.

If you’ve driven by our site lately you’ve likely noticed the progress we’ve made, and we are well on target of May 2011 completion date with a Sept 2011 move in. The exterior of our building has been largely completed with work progressing very well on the interior of the building which is a beehive of activity.

Because of the ongoing construction there are continuing challenges with traffic diversion and parking on our site. Please keep these changes in mind and follow all posted instructions as you approach our facility and, once again, thank you for your patience as we go into our final year of construction.

2010 Light A Bulb Campaign This year the hospital really needs your help.

Dalvir Nahal a Foundation Board member is honoured to be this year’s Light A Bulb Campaign Chair and is a member of the Building A Tower of Care Campaign. Dalvir shared that “I recognize that the hospital is only strong thanks to the support of the community”. As was the case last year, Light A Bulb will once again support medical equipment needs for the new Tower at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. With less than a year to go, Dalvir noted that the Campaign is nearing an end but must still raise $1.5 million as part of the $7 million goal to equip the new Tower.

Your gift will make a real difference. “This year we will also have a tree on the new tower. Evidence of your support is visible as the lights come on over November and December. We will know that we have full community support when every light on every string on the Hospital tree is lit. I hope to see every light lit by the end of December”.

Our goal is to raise $200,000. A $35 donation will light one bulb; $500 will light a string of lights but any gift is most welcome. Your donation to Light A Bulb 2010 will help you, your friends and family members. There are many ways you can make your gift. Visit the VJHF website and donate via our secure on line site: www.vjhfoundation.org. Fill in the Light a Bulb coupon in this insert or watch for our request in the mail.

Water meters are coming to two North Westside Road neighbourhoods.

The Central Okanagan Regional District board has added $75,000 to the financial plan to cover water meter installation at Killiney Beach and Westshore Estates.

“Next year we will monitor the use to see how much we’re charging for water and we want to see how much Jim Edgson water is being used,” said director Jim Edgson.

“The meters will help with water conservation and they will show whether people need to improve their water usage.”

The additional $75,000 will come from provincial gas tax funding, and it was required because of rising costs and the number of seasonal residences.

“We’re having difficulties getting a hold of people to install the meters in their homes,” said Edgson.

“Instead of waiting until next year, we will use the gas tax on installing meter pits outside.”

Pit meters involve excavation work which

means installation is higher than placing them inside a home.

The total budget for meters will now be $450,000, including $260,000 for Killiney Beach and $190,000 for Westshores.

“The projects are now scheduled to be completed in 2010 rather than spread over two years to take advantage of cost-saving efficiencies,” said Marilyn Rilkoff, finance director, in a written memo to the board.

United Way working towards its goal Morning Star Staff

The United Way is counting on North Okanagan residents to rally behind the community.

The organization is currently in the midst of its annual campaign and the goal is to raise $300,000 for 28 non-profit groups that provide 35 programs.

“We have a wonderful and caring region,” said Linda Yule, executive director.

“I am very optimistic about the results we will achieve for the people of our communities. I think most people will agree that our goals of healthy, Linda Yule successful children; strong, supportive families; engaged youth; and self reliant individuals are well worth aiming for.”

Workplaces throughout the region are currently signing up for the payroll deduction program, individual donors have begun sending in cheques or donating online and companies are providing corporate support.

“With one donation to your United Way, you can support all sectors of your community. Remember, what is raised here stays here,” said Yule.

Writing a part of history CARA BRADY

Someone who lives close to a SKI HILL!

Morning Star Staff

When Canadians think about veterans, it might be someone in their family, or for younger people, a faded photograph, or the coffins coming back from Afghanistan.

Fortunately, most service men and women come home and they have lives before and after they have been ready to make any sacrifice for their country.

Reg Saunders of Lumby has written a book about what it was like to grow up in an isolated community, join the Canadian Air Force during the Second World War and come home to build up his farm and raise a family.

From Calcutta to Burnside, A Family History, was published recently by Kettle Valley Publishing.

At the urging of family members, Saunders, 88, worked on the book for six years, gathering hundreds of family photos and enlisting the help of a cousin for computer research. The book was launched at a family reunion this summer with most of his five children, seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren present to share their heritage.

“I had to get all this down for the next generation,” said Saunders. “It was all worth it to see the book.”

He starts with his grandparents, his grandfather worked for the East India Company in Calcutta and the family, which had 10 children, later found its way, via England and a homestead in Saskatchewan to Trinity Valley, near Lumby, in the early 1900s.

“I think of how it must have been for my grandmother, being with servants in India and they bring her to bunk down in a sod-roof shack that leaked. But she got a nice log house in Trinity Valley,” he said.

His grandmother named that log house and the farm Burnside because it was on the side of Robbie Burns Mountain.

Saunders grew up on the farm, attending a one-room school, picking apples in the summer and working in a sawmill when he finished school. In the spring of 1941, he was hoping to join the Canadian Navy but was told he could do only offshore work since he wore glasses. He joined the RCAF where he took part in the commonwealth Air Training Program which brought servicemen from Canada, England, Australia amd New Zealand together for training in Canada.

“They needed more mechanics but I grew up farming with horses and I didn’t think I should be attacking a motor. I did the air frame mechanic program, we were called riggers,” he said.

After an incident where he had chicken pox, measles and rheumatic fever at the same time — he had never been exposed to contagious diseases living in an isolated area — he was posted to Ucluelet to work on First World War sea plane maintenance. This was at the time the Japanese had invaded the Aleutian Islands and there were fears of an attack on the West Coast.

Later, he was sent to Sea Island, near Vancouver, and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia

Reg Saunders will be at a book signing for his new book, From Calcutta to Burnside, Tuesday at 10 a.m. at the Lumby Museum. to work on the aircraft that watched for submarines around the shipping convoys in the North Atlantic.

He was discharged in September 1945 and came back to Trinity Valley where he was able to get assistance through the Veteran’s Land Act to buy a partially developed dairy farm.

“I would tell anyone who wants to write a family history to get on with it.”

— Reg Saunders “It was the beginning of a long, tough endeavour. It was a lot of hard work to clear land, build a barn and a home and accumulate cattle. We started milking by hand and then built the second machine milking parlour in the Okanagan,” said Saunders, who was also active in the community as a director of the board of NOCA (North Okanagan Creamery Association), the B.C. Federation of Agriculture, Lumby Community Health Services and the Anglican Church in Lumby.

He and Thora were married in 1946

and had five children.

“It’s been an interesting life and I’ve seen a lot of changes. I’m glad I took the time to write the book and I would tell anyone who wants to write a family history to get on with it. The family really appreciates it and that makes it all worthwhile,” he said.

After Thora’s death, he married Mary in 2003.

“I had known her for awhile and I said to her, ‘Look here. We might as well get married and enjoy life.’ So we did and we have done a lot of traveling to Alaska and the Grand Canyon and we’re not done yet. That’s the adventuresome part of us,” he said.

From Calcutta to Burnside is not just a family history. It provides a fascinating look at pioneer life — Saunders has a great memory for the details about other residents and daily life in the area. Many photographs bring the past era alive for the reader. There are even handwritten recipes from the family cookbook and a history of the family dogs.

Saunders will have a a book signing Tuesday at 10 a.m. at the Lumby Museum. For more information contact Kettle Valley Publishing at kvp@kvp.bc or see the website at www.kvp.bc.

Keeping rare earths out of the landfill

Q

What are rare earths?

Recently there has been an increasing level of media interest in “rare earths” because of China’s announcement that they may curtail exports of the Vernon PC Users’ Club ore from which many of them are extracted.

Most people, unless they have recently been exposed to the periodic table of ele-

COMPUTER QUESTION

ments in a high school or college chemistry course, are unfamiliar with rare earths.

Actually “rare” is something of a misnomer since they are relatively abundant in various locations around the world. The problem is that they are rarely found in concentrations where it is economical to mine them. Where it is and you have the ore, it is even more difficult to extract the individual elements, of which there are 17.

It’s as if you were to take 17 different spices out of your spice rack and mix them all together and then be faced with the challenge of separating them again into indi-

vidual spices.

So why should we care? Well, we don’t have the space here to mention all the myriad applications, but if you play an electric guitar, store data on a hard drive, work with cordless tools, communicate with a cell phone or use any appliance or vehicle incorporating a permanent magnet, a rare earth is involved; usually as part of an alloy that is a much more powerful magnet than one made of iron.

It follows therefore that since our society today is hooked on technology requiring lots of permanent magnets, there is

Vern and Sharon Miskosky: married Nov. 5, 1960.

Celebrating 50 Vern and Sharon Miskosky celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary this year.

Vernon Miskosky and Sharon Scott were married Nov. 5, 1960 in Melfort, Sask.

In 1961, they welcomed their first child, son Rob, who now lives in Edmonton. In 1963, son Dale was born, the same year the family moved to Vancouver.

And in 1968, the couple welcomed their daughter, Kim. Dale and Kim still live in Vernon.

The couple moved to Vernon in 1971, where Vern worked as a bodyman and eventually opened Plus One Collision with his son Dale.

Sharon has been a volunteer with the One-toOne Children’s Literacy Program for many years at Ellison elementary school.

Over the years, the couple has enjoyed travelling to Alaska and Mexico with friends, but their greatest pleasure has been camping vacations with very close family and many friends.

Vern and Sharon still live in Vernon. They have six grandchildren — two in Edmonton and four in Vernon.

Their family is planning a party in honour of this special day for the spring of 2011.

Want to learn how to cook some new dishes?

Are your grocery costs too high?

Join Community Kitchens and learn how to cook new, affordable meals in a funfilled, friendly way. Take home some healthy food to your family at Community Kitchens held in a number of places in the North Okanagan.

They are held monthly at St. Andrews United Church in Enderby for anyone who wants to learn how to cook healthy meals on a budget.

This interactive cooking session lasts three hours. During this time, people cook healthy affordable meals together and take food home for $1 per serving of food. People can order as many portions of food as they want.

The goal is to show people how to cook meals that cost about $1/portion. Portions are large and most food is able to be frozen.

People can order three

servings of each of the five meals cooked for $15, or four servings of each for $20.

The group discusses cheaper food substitutions and cooking techniques that will help them stretch their food dollar. Whenever possible, the program tries to eat locally to save money, and in some areas the groups grow food in community gardens.

East unleash the beast at Wesbild GRAEME CORBETT/JUSTIN SEWARD Morning Star Staff

The skill was never in doubt, it was more a question of which team would put it all together first Friday night at Wesbild Centre.

After a 20-minute master class on squeezing the stick, Canada East loosened up on offence, scoring five times on seven secondperiod shots to earn a convincing 7-2 decision over Canada West in World Junior A Challenge exhibition play before about 400 fans.

Two minutes into the second frame, the East’s Scott Wilson gift-wrapped a gorgeous backdoor feed for Evan Rodrigues who ripped his shot top shelf before West netminder Jameson Shortreed could get across.

A few minutes later, Wilson attacked the Canada West blueline, dangled around a defender and picked the top corner on Shortreed (nine saves) from in close.

“I think our line was clicking and we had some good shifts,” said Wilson, an Oakville, Ont. native who plays with the Georgetown Raiders.

“We got them on their heels quickly but they’re a hard-nose team but so are we as we can put it in the net, and they’re missing the finesse that we possess.”

Canada East completed the second-period onslaught with three goals in a 61-second span, starting with Rodrigues’ second goal (powerplay), a crafty bank shot off defender Joey Laleggia at 10:14.

Circling behind the net, Tyson Spink dropped a back pass that fooled Shortreed and the entire Canada West defence, leaving Mitch Zion for an open-net tap-in.

Matthew Peca then intercepted a Canada

CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR

Team West’s Dylan Walchuck (19) takes the play to the doorstep of Team East's netminder Jordan Ruby in World Junior A Challenge exhibition action Friday night at Wesbild Centre. Team East’s Matt Chiarantano (5) and Kyle Baun follow the play.

West clearing attempt which resulted in Phil Hampton rifling a point shot past Shortreed, who was replaced by Matt Krahn (nine saves).

“They got that first goal and it gave them a little momentum and we didn’t get it back.

They scored another one and we stayed back on our heels and they kept going,” said Dylan Walchuk, the lone Vernon Viper on Canada West.

Walchuk, a McBride product, admitted to battles nerves at the start.

“For me I know it was a little nerve-racking so I was probably grabbing the stick a little too hard. You maybe don’t see as much and you just want to get the puck deep and not make any mistakes.”

There weren’t many positives for Canada West to take from Friday’s game, but head coach Larry Wintoneak (SJHL Kindersley Klippers) said it was important to salvage what they can and move on.

“We don’t have time to mope or hang our lip. It’s that short-term situation where

you’ve got to be better tomorrow, simple as that.”

If there was a bright spot for the Western crew, it was their start to the third period.

For the first time all game, they out-skated the East and were rewarded with goals less than a minute apart by Sam Mellor (Trail Smoke Eaters) and Madison Dias (Victoria Grizzlies).

Travis St. Denis (Smoke Eaters) fed Mellor a nice stretch pass to set up a 2-on-1 with Mark McMillan (Penticton Vees). Using McMillan as a screen, Mellor ripped his shot far side past Jordan Ruby (20 saves) at 7:24.

Dias buried the rebound off Laleggia’s shot from the slot for his goal at 8:11.

Said Canada West’s Drew George, a former Viper: “The start of the third period we came out with a lot of jump and hunger.

“It comes down to working hard. If we’re doing that, we have the skill in that room to put the puck in the net.”

Canada East responded with some decent pressure in the middle of the period, but Krahn stood tall, denying Peca and Nick Huard in close.

The East completed the scoring with a pair of late goals. Zach Hyman cruised in front of Krahn to get a stick on Hampton’s point shot for the first. 16-year-old Robert Polesello added a powerplay marker with 22 seconds remaining.

Canada West continued exhibition play Saturday against defending champion U.S. at the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton. They begin WJAC preliminary action Monday against Switzerland (4 p.m.) and end the round-robin against Russia (7:30 p.m.) Wednesday.

Playoffs begin Thursday.

Neilson boards up competitive career with national team Snowboard Canada/Morning Star

JENNA HAUCK/BLACK PRESS FILE

Team Canada’s Drew Neilson, formerly of Vernon, rides the snowboardcross course at Cypress Mountain during the Vancouver Olympic Games.

Snowboard cross legend and twotime Olympian Drew Neilson of North Vancouver has announced his retirement from competitive snowboarding.

Neilson, born and raised in Vernon, will lend his knowledge and expertise as the new technical coach on the Canadian Snowboard Team. Neilson is currently in Hintertux, Austria at a training camp fulfilling his new duties.

“I am definitely looking forward to this new chapter in my life," said Neilson, 36, who used to ski and board at Silver Star Mountain. "Having the

opportunity to remain involved in the sport that I love most will be great for me. We have a great team and a solid group of promising riders, and I feel that my knowledge and success in the sport can be helpful in their careers.”

“The friendships that I have maintained and valued while competing all over the world the last 14 years will stay with me forever, and I am thankful for all of the opportunities that I have had throughout my career.”

Neilson’s addition to the Canadian Snowboard Team comes at a good time now that Canada~Snowboard enters

a new Olympic cycle working towards Sochi 2014. Neilson will be working with current national team members to further develop their technical skills, mentored by head coach Marcel Mathieu.

“We are really excited to have Drew joining our coaching crew. He is well respected by the riders, both current national team riders and upcoming stars. He has tremendous hands on experience in the sport, and we feel that his addition to the coaching staff will help improve our riders,” said Mathieu.

irst thing Brad Cook did when he entered the Wesbild Centre last Saturday was look way up. There it was, in the rafters, a banner honouring the Vernon Vipers as 1996 Royal Bank Cup champions.

Cook, now an assistant coach with the BCHL Victoria Grizzlies, was a smooth-skating defenceman with Rob Bremner's Snakes that season. He had played the year before with the major junior Detroit Jr. Red Wings, and was one of several imports from back east.

He keeps in close touch with Jeff Cheeseman, captain of the '96 team, which included the likes of Dustin Whitecotton, Brent Dodginghorse, Blaine McCauley and Garth Gartner. He hangs out with Sjon Wynia from that team as Wynia has kids the same age as Cook, living in nearby Nanaimo.

"I'm really proud of what Kevin Mitchell we accomplished," said Cook, 35, after the Grizzlies stunned the Vipers in double overtime. "That's something you hang your hat on for a long time. As a coach, to pass on to the guys what a special time a championship run can be and then to actually win it, and you got the ring and you got the tattoo and you got the banner and you got the pictures, the memories. It's something you'll never forget.

"You're a champion forever and how many people can say that? Not many. And to do it in a sport that I'm still involved in is pretty special."

Cook played more than 500 games in a 12-year minor pro career and after coaching the junior B Saanich Braves, joined the Grizzlies this year. He also coaches at the Spectrum High School Hockey Academy.

His No. 1 fan is his wife, Brandy Pearson, who he met during his year in Vernon.

"I had been here for maybe one week and she was the first person I met out and about and she just moved here to work up at Silver Star for the winter, from Victoria, and we've been together ever since. She travelled around with me for 10 years as a pro and we made Victoria our home and things are going really good."

Cook is a hockey survivor. He had a brief stint over in Germany, but spent most of his time blocking shots and making thrilling rushes for teams like the Dayton Ice Bandits, San Angelo Outlaws, Tulsa Oilers, Elmira Jackals, Kalamazoo Wings and Victoria Salmon Kings.

He went the extra mile to play a game he truly loved, making very little money but loving every minute of his life.

Vernon Vipers’ netminder Blake Voth reaches back for a loose puck before the Merritt Centennials’ Chad Brears can get to it in B.C. Hockey League play Friday night at Nicola Valley Arena. The Cents rallied with four unanswered goals to earn a 4-3 overtime win.

Cents surge to stymie Snakes Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Vipers are finding some trends are just better left alone.

The Snakes have already ventured into overtime six times in just 22 B.C. Hockey League regularseason games, with just one win to show for it. That pattern continued Friday night at Nicola Valley Arena where Vernon squandered a three-goal lead with 12 minutes remaining, falling 4-3 in OT to the Merritt Centennials.

In the extra frame, Merritt won a clean draw back to the point where Brandon Pheil fired through traffic to beat netminder Blake Voth before 772 fans.

All three of Vernon’s games with Merritt (5-110-5) have gone to overtime, with the Cents winning twice to earn five of six points.

Even when Vernon (11-5-1-5) was leading, scoring three unanswered goals in the second period, head coach Mark Ferner was less than pleased with his team’s showing. He warned there will be consequences if his club turns in another performance like the one he witnessed Friday night.

“I haven’t seen our hockey team do that, and I’ll take responsibility because I don’t think they were ready to play. But if it happens again, there will be changes,” said Ferner.

After a scoreless first period, Mike Zalewski (6th goal) opened the scoring just 29 seconds into the second frame, beating Cents’ netminder Tyler Steel, a Vernon product, with a blast from the sidewall.

Assists went to John Knisley and Malcolm Lyles.

Zalewski returned the favour midway through the second period, feeding Knisley for his sixth goal on a Viper rush at 8:44.

Todd Skirving, pocketing his second goal, completed the Vernon offence less than two minutes later as he took a pass from call-up Nick Kerr to sneak in behind the Merritt defence and beat Steel five-hole.

The third period belonged to the Cents thanks in part to three straight minors to the Snakes.

Merritt captain and former Viper Steve Tresierra (3rd) got the rally started at 12:45 with a wrister from the point while Darren Nowick served a slashing penalty.

After Cents’ leading scorer Jeff Jones (7th) pulled his team within a goal at 16:43, Sean Maktaak collected the equalizer with Merritt on a powerplay and Steel pulled for an extra attacker at 19:06. It

was his first goal of the season.

Ferner felt his team probably underestimated the Centennials heading into Friday night, but credited Merritt for earning a desperation win.

“They did what they needed to do, down 3-0 with 12 minutes to play, and they probably deserved to win,” he said.

Ferner also questioned some of his players’ willingness to stick to the game-plan, and warned he might have to reallocate ice time if they don’t start fulfilling their roles.

“If you can’t play away from the puck, you can’t play. If you can’t play defence, you can’t play.”

Steel recorded 26 stops for his third BCHL win.

Voth was busy in facing 38 Merritt shots.

The Cents went 2-for-7 on the powerplay, while Vernon was 1-for-4.

Vernon looked to rebound Saturday night when they entertained the Prince George Spruce Kings (6-15-0-2) at Wesbild Centre.

In other Interior Conference play Friday night, the Trail Smoke Eaters thumped the Quesnel Millionaires 5-1, the Westside Warriors clubbed the Coquitlam Express 8-2 and the Spruce Kings surprised the Salmon Arm SilverBacks 4-1.

During his outstanding career, he won nine races on the FIS World Cup Tour and stepped on the podium 10 other times in 62 starts. Neilson, one of the very first snowboarders to participate in the sport, took the victory in his first-ever World Cup race, held at Whistler on Dec. 14, 1997.

Neilson won the Crystal Globe as the 2007 Overall Snowboardcross World Cup Champion and took home the bronze medal at the 2003 FIS World Championships in Kreichberg, Austria.

He took part in the 2006 and 2010 Olympic Winter Games, posting his best Olympic result in Vancouver finishing 11th at his home Cypress Mountain.

Other accolades include gold medals at the 2000 ESPN Winter X Games and Gravity Games, multiple victories on the ISF Swatch World Boardercross Tour and winning '06/'07 Jeep King of the Mountain World Pro Tour.

In 2008, Neilson suffered a dislocated

The Fulton Maroons secured first place in the Interior Conference as they grounded the host Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops 38-20 in senior AA varsity football play Friday night.

Kris Davidson carried the Maroons’ offence, literally. The Fulton tailback racked up more than 300 yards in rushing for five touchdowns.

“They really couldn’t stop him, and our offensive line was great, making big holes for our backs,” said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller.

Ben Olsen, adding defensive end to his duties as quarterback, led the Maroons with 11 tackles.

“After a while, they started to audible and tried to go away from where he was,” said Scheller.

Fulton (3-0 in league play, 6-2 overall) will host its first playoff game (opponent to be determined) in Kamloops, Friday, Nov. 12.

REGIONAL DISTRICT OF NORTH OKANAGAN

WATER MAIN FLUSHING NOTICE The Regional District of North Okanagan - Greater Vernon Water in conjunction with the City of Vernon and District of Coldstream Operations, will continue with Water Main flushing over the next two weeks.

Flushing will occur in the following areas: COLDSTREAM: • North Kalamalka System – Kickwillie Loop subdivision (Stoneridge Drive, Lakeview Drive, College Way, etc.), Sage Pointe subdivision, Westkal Road, Kalamalka Road from Aberdeen Road West, Kalavista Drive, Postill Drive and Tebo Drive area, as well as the lower half of Kidston and all side streets.

VERNON and ELECTORAL AREAS “B” & “C”: • North Kalamalka System – 15 Street West to 27 Street and Highway 6 North to 39 Avenue.

Depending on operational conditions, flushing in these areas may be delayed or completed earlier than anticipated. Signs will be posted in most areas when flushing is in progress. Please drive carefully where operation crews are working. Notification will be updated as the flushing program progresses.

What is Water Main Flushing?

The water utility flushes water mains to reduce sediment and build up that accumulates in the mains. The process also helps to remove stagnant water and water that has deteriorated at dead ends. This annual process helps to improve water quality for public health.

How are customers affected during Water Main Flushing?

While crews are flushing in your area, you may notice a reduction in water pressure, sediment and/or discoloration of the water.

What should customers do when water main flushing occurs in their area?

• To reduce impact on household water systems, try to refrain from using water when flushing is in progress.

• Customers may choose to store enough water for one day if it is considered necessary.

• Should you choose to run water when water main flushing is in your area, you may choose to boil water or use a safe alternative. Water intended for the following uses should be boiled for one minute: • Drinking • Brushing teeth

• Washing fruits and vegetables • Making beverages or ice

• We strongly advise that you check your water before doing any water related household work such as laundry. Once flushing is complete, it may be necessary to run an outside tap until the water clears.

If you have any questions, please contact RDNO - Greater Vernon Water at 250-550-3700.

Brrrrrrrrrr ... it’s shaping up to be a chilly winter in B.C. The region is heading into a La Niña year that could create the worst winter weather since 1955, according to some experts, and the Farmers’ Almanac is also calling for a cooler winter with above-average snowfall.

Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips says it can be difficult to accurately predict a seasonal forecast, but notes La Niña years are usually cooler, frostier and snowier.

“It really comes down to which way the winds are blowing,” Phillips says.

“This year, the ugly sister of El Niño – La Niña – is expected.

(La Niña winters) typically give us more arctic air than Pacific air ... our outlook shows the flavour for this winter is colder than normal through the province.”

Phillips notes that when El Niño and La Niña are involved, it increases the chances of getting the weather

that is predicted.

He looked at all La Niña winters since 1950, and says since then, there have been 18 La Niña winters

locally. Of those 18, 13 winters were colder than average and five winters were warmer than average.

“That tells you that

And in the past five La Niña winters, three were warmer, one was normal, and one was a little cooler, Phillips says.

“It may not necessarily be the winter from hell, but likely, we’ll have more winter than we had last year.”

Program needs volunteer drivers Morning Star Staff

The Seniors Information and Resource Bureau would like to thank volunteer drivers offering transportation to seniors who no longer drive and for various reasons cannot get to appointments using public transit. “The Volunteer Driver Program needs more drivers because so many volunteers are unavailable at this time of year,� said Dayle Drury, chairperson of the Seniors Action Network at the Seniors Information and Resource Bureau (SIRB), which runs the program.

The program schedules volunteer drivers who have had criminal record checks, driver abstracts and reference checks done.

It is intended to support low-income seniors who need transportation to local appointments or engagements.

Those receiving rides are requested to offer a suggested honorarium of $7 to the drivers at the time of the ride. Volunteers can specify availability and limitations to the SIRB office, where scheduling is done. “The service means a lot to me because I am unable to drive anymore and the drivers are all so nice, kind and patient,� said Mary

Towers, a senior using the service.

Volunteer Grace Aikema gives her time because she truly likes helping people. “And I realize that I also might need this kind of help someday.�

There will be a Volunteer Driver information meeting at the People Place, Nov. 18 at 2 p.m. People interested in helping seniors in the community are encouraged to join other volunteer drivers and learn more about the program.

Please contact SIRB at 250-545-8572 or email sirb@socialplanning.ca to learn more.

duanesin@telus.net

Serving The Greater Okanagan Area

It’s been many years in the making and many months of waiting, but Gerty Shipmaker’s book, Till Gay Do Us Part has finally seen print and is being launched.

The book is the story of her journey from first date to last goodbye with her husband of 20 years, who walked away from her and their four children after telling her he was gay.

Shipmaker’s journey, from being a hap-

Gerty Shipmaker pily married woman to a single mom, was a painful one, and during it she discovered that there appeared to be no written help out there for her. She felt like she

was the only woman this had ever happened to and so, once the hurt had healed, decided her story needed to be told. “I would not wish for any other woman to feel as I did in those years; if telling my story can help just one woman know she’s not alone in this journey, that others

have also walked it, it is worth it,� she said.

Shipmaker is known in Enderby as the writer of the column The Slow Lane, where she looks at events in an every day life from a humorous standpoint. The column appeared for eight years in the North Valley Echo. The Slow

The leap of doubt

550-7900

“

We are all necessarily trusting, believing animals, creatures who must and do place our faith in beliefs that cannot themselves be verified except by means established by the beliefs themselves.” — sociologist Christian Smith To be human is to believe in something. Not everything we believe is based on fact. It is generally understood that a “fact” is either something that is self-evident to virtually everyone (eg. The sky is blue), or something that Dave Bootsma is not self-evident to the senses but can be proven scientifically. If we hold to something that can’t be demonstrated in either of those ways then it is a “belief ” or an act of faith. Of course, this also means that where there is faith there is also going to be doubt.

In The Reason for God, theologian Timothy Keller argues that all doubts, however skeptical and cynical they may seem, are really a set of alternate beliefs.

You cannot doubt Belief A, he reasons, except from a position of faith in Belief B. For example, if you doubt Christianity because “There just can’t be just one true

KEEPIN' THE FAITH

religion,” you must recognize that this statement itself is an act of faith. No one can prove it empirically, and it is not a universal truth that everyone accepts.

For instance, if you made the claim that there couldn’t be one true religion to someone in the Middle East, they would respond by saying, “Why not?” The reason why you doubt Christianity’s Belief A is because you hold unprovable Belief B. “Every doubt, therefore,” concludes Keller, “is based on a leap of faith.”

Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God who came to save the world from sin. They base this on claims and evidence regarding his resurrection from the dead. Many people, however, say that that is not true. Whereas, on the one hand, this is a statement of doubt (that is, doubting what Christians claim), it is also a statement of belief or faith. It is to claim something different about Jesus — that he was a good man, legend, prophet or whatever. But such claims are not based on fact (that is, there is no evidence to verify such claims), so are therefore faith statements. And when you see your doubts are really beliefs, and when you require the same amount of evidence for them that you are asking of Christian beliefs, then it becomes evident many of them are very weak, and largely adopted because of cultural pressure (since teach-

ers, media, atheists, and/or peers doubt, then so do we).

Now, it is one thing to point out your problems with what others believe, but the question is: What do YOU believe?

Does it stand up to the same tests that you put on others? How do you answer the question of origins, purpose, hope, suffering in the world or solutions to our problems? On what do you base your answers? Does it do so adequately? If not, then why do you believe what you do?

“Well, because Christianity just can’t be true.” But that just reveals a bias against it. That is neither a fair nor logical reason.

“It doesn’t matter what you believe,” say some, “just as long as you’re sincere.”

Really? How do you know that? That is a faith statement that supposes that, if there is a God, he doesn’t care about faith. Where is the evidence for that? I believe that if you seek as much proof for your beliefs as you seek from Christianity you will discover that your doubts are not as solid as they first appeared. Do you want to stake your life, and the possibility of a wonderful afterlife or terrible afterlife on the “blind faith” of your doubt?

Q: A:

Rarely.

A disease which can be transmitted from animals to humans is called a zoonotic disease or zoonosis. The most common zoonoses of cats are ringworm (a skin fungus); toxoplasmosis and cryptosporidiosis (both are coccidia); giardiasis (a flagellate, “Beaver Fever” in humans); round, hook and tapeworms (but, contrary to popular belief, NOT pinworms); cat scratch fever (Bartonella spp.); Salmonellosis and Campylobacteriosis (both bacteria from undercooked meats); chlamydiosis (an eye infection) and Rabies (in our area from infected bats).

This list sounds scary but current evidence shows that pet cats, especially ones kept indoors, pose minimal zoonotic risks for most people. An individual with a compromised immune system may have a slightly higher risk.

To minimize your zoonotic risk, practice proper litter box hygiene, feed high quality commercial cat food, keep your cat away from unknown cats and use a good broad-spectrum dewormer on a regular basis if your cat is allowed to hunt.

Ask your veterinarian if you have more questions about zoonoses.

SANTA’S ANONYMOUS SOCIETY

‘A Night to Remember’

wishes to advise that appointments for gift pick-up for CHILDREN IN NEED

CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff

Nancy Wilde thought about her mother, Margery Wilde, the whole time she was organizing A Night to Remember, a dance and fundraiser for the annual Investors Group Walk for Memories.

“She loved to dance and she would be disappointed to miss a party. It’s good to have an opportunity to do this and raise awareness of Alzheimer’s, which is such a bloody, awful disease,” said Wilde.

She has lost her grandmother, two aunts and her mother, who died in 2009, to Alzheimer’s in the past 20 years and she’s determined to do as much as she can to help raise awareness and funds for research. She will also be taking part in the Walk for Memories, which is on Jan. 30, 2011.

A Night to Remember takes place Thursday at the Schubert Centre with the doors and bar open at 7 p.m. There will dance lessons with Cheek to Cheek instructors before the dancing starts. Music is

by Lee Dinwoodie and his band. The emcee is Kevin Rothwell and there will be silent and live auctions with items like a Saskatchewan

(between the ages of Birth to 12 Years)

may be made beginning…

— LAST DAY — DECEMBER 17TH A Night to Remember, a dance and fundraiser for the Investors Group Walk for Memories for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. takes place Nov. 11 at the Schubert Centre. The 2011 walk in January will be in memory of Marjery Wilde, front left, with her husband, Walt, and friends at a dance in Vancouver in 1950.

THE FRIENDS OF THE VERNON MUSEUM welcomes Chris Czajkowski, who will present her Wilderness Dweller’s Cookbook: The Best Bread in the World and Other Recipes, Nov. 11 at Schubert Centre at 7 p.m. This is not a how-to-skina-moose-and-salt-it-down-and-make-the-offal-into-sausages kind of book. Rather it is a fascinating account of how a wilderness dweller - in a none-growing climate 20 km from a road, 60 km from a store, and 250 km from the nearest town large enough for a supermarket - feeds herself and the visitors that come to her small ecotourism resort.

Dancers, eat fish M

y father says that as soon as I knew how to walk, I was dancing. And since those wobbly first days, I have had the good fortune to learn under the tutelage of some great dance teachers.

Whether they taught me for years or hours, one thing I know for sure: the dance world is full of passionate people.

One such favourite teacher was my Ukrainian ballet master Vlodya.

I was 11 years old when he arrived and can only assume he was not very impressed with my less-than-perfect Madeleine Shaw turn out. Intimidated though I was, you better believe that when he hollered, “Girls! Listen me, don’t be lazy bums! Eat fish! Brain food!” I went home and informed my family I was eating only tuna sandwiches from then on.

Over time, I became less intimidated

by Vlodya and found him to be extremely kind-hearted and personable. I admired his relentless love for dance.

It is in this way, David LaHay, founding artistic director of Ballet Kelowna, puts me in mind of my old ballet master.

When I caught up with LaHay to discuss the company’s upcoming performance, Aspects of Love, it was the passion in his voice that struck me first. Whether LaHay demands his dancers discover an affinity for salmon or not, it is his driven approach to ballet that I find so infectious. His aspiration to engage the audience with his work is inspiring.

Vernon audiences have a chance to

DANCE BEAT

see Ballet Kelowna’s Aspects of Love at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Nov. 20.

The program features four uplifting and romantic works not to be missed.

Take it from me, without the love and passion of the dancers and their teacher, those early morning practices would never happen.

Luckily for us, Ballet Kelowna is full of passionate performers. Whether you have long appreciated classical ballet or have yet to see your first live show, Aspects of Love will take your breath away with its beauty and grace.

The performance includes a new ballet

by LaHay, inspired by Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture.

“It is a mini version of Romeo and Juliet. I do the whole story in eight minutes,” he explained with a laugh.

You see what I mean about passion and drive?

If I come off as excited about this upcoming show, I mean to. There is something so magical about going to the ballet for an evening. I simply cannot wait to see Aspects of Love.

LaHay will also be offering a unique choreography workshop for local dancers.

The master class takes place Nov. 20 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Cost is $20 and includes a ticket to the performance that evening. Interested, intermediate-level dancers should e-mail danceoutreach@ticketseller.ca for more information.

I like to think that my excitement about Ballet Kelowna’s upcoming performance would make Vlodya proud. Even if I did not pursue a career in ballet, there are few greater gifts a teacher can give than a love for their subject. That, and a particular fondness for seafood.

Okanagan College writers drive silver cars to readings Morning Star Staff

They write fast. They read fast. And they happen to drive silver cars.

Three Okanagan College English/writing professors, each of whom have just written new books, will read from their respective works at Gallery Vertigo as part of the Vertigo Voices Silver Car Readings.

“Unlike conventional poetry readings, the Vertigo Voices series is designed to unfold as a dialogue and discussion on the process of writing,” said Jason Dewinetz, who teaches at the Kalamalka campus, drives a Chevy Optra, and is about to release his latest collection of poems, entitled Clench (Gaspereau Press), in time for his reading Nov. 24.

Dewinetz is also the founding editor, publisher and designer of Greenboathouse Press, a small press publishing

limited editions by writers from across Canada, and has previously released three books of poetry and co-authored A Bibliography of the Black Sparrow Press Archive.

He along with the other authors will explore their writing practice, and discuss other writers and books in order to reveal the context and circumstances that have informed their own work at the series.

Jason Dewinetz Fellow scribe/instructor Kevin McPherson Eckhoff, who drives his rather beat-up Toyota Echo to the Kalamalka and Salmon Arm campuses, starts off the series this Tuesday.

On Nov. 17, Kelowna campus instructor Jake Kennedy, who drives a Volkswagen Golf, will read from his three new books: The Lateral (Snare Books), Apollinaire’s Speech to the War Medic (BookThug), and Light & Char (Greenboathouse Press).

All of these readings will take place at Gallery Vertigo, #1-3001 31st St. (upstairs) in downtown Vernon starting at 8 p.m. Admission is free, however a suggested donation of $3 will go towards Gallery Vertigo and its related projects.

The final reading of the series, Dec. 1 at 8 p.m., is a showcase of Okanagan College creative writing students reading their work in the cafeteria at Kalamalka campus.

Admission is also free and all are welcome.

Capsule Comments with

MARCIA BELEY TOM SKINNER

At one time, food additives included only salt, vinegar and saltpetre. These additives were mainly to allow food to keep longer.

Today, we have hundreds of government approved additives in our food. They work as colouring agents, emulsifiers, anticaking agents, preservatives, stabilizers, sweeteners, thickeners and many other uses including keeping bread fresher longer.

As winter approaches, indoor air becomes drier and nose bleeds are more common. To stop a nose bleed, remain calm, sit down, lean slightly forward (to prevent swallowing any blood) then squeeze your nostrils together with your thumb and forefinger for about five minutes. Repeat if needed. If it doesn’t stop within 15 minutes, seek medical help.

November is Diabetes Month in Canada. If you have diabetes, you can control the disease through proper exercise, diet and awareness of how diabetes affects your body and how to monitor blood sugars and keep them in a normal range.

Our ability to handle alcoholic drinks diminishes as we age. Changes in kidney function, reduced muscle mass and more body fat can lead to a higher alcohol contest in the blood with the same number of drinks.

Changes in brain function can also make us more sensitive to alcohol. If you are over 65, restrict your alcohol intake to seven drinks per week. If you don’t drink, don’t start.

Alcohol can interact with many medications. When we fill a new prescription for you, we will let you know if your new medication has this interaction. It’s all part of the professional service in our pharmacy.

Cookbooks for all tastes

t seems only natural that with the cooler fall weather comes a greater interest in cooking and baking.

The Okanagan Re g i o n a l Library’s cookbook collection is always popular, but these new titles, all published in 2010, should provide fresh inspiration now and for the coming seasons.

–– Slim and Scrumptious: More Than 75 Delicious Healthy Meals Your Family Will Love by Joy Bauer.

Tired of the misconception that you have to dine out to eat delicious food, The Today Show nutritionist proves that not only can you eat fresh, rich, and filling food, but that it is quick, affordable, and easy too.

A Thousand Dreams wins George Ryga award Morning Star Staff

A book about one of North America’s poorest, most drug-challenged neighbourhoods has been named the winner of the eighth annual George Ryga Award for Social Awareness in Literature.

Like Ryga’s 1967 play, The Ecstasy of Rita Joe, A Thousand Dreams explores Vancouver’s

Downtown Eastside and the fight for its future.

A mix of history, journalism, political analysis, and first-person accounts, the book is written by former chief coroner and Vancouver mayor, now senator, Larry Campbell, renowned criminologist Neil Boyd and investigative journalist Lori Culbert.

The latter two picked up the sculpture, The Censor’s Golden Rope, by Armstrong artist Reg Kienast, and answered questions from the audience at the award ceremony in Summerland Saturday.

This year’s final judge was distinguished poet, playwright and journalist Greg Simison of Moose Jaw.

A Thousand Dreams has also been nominated for the Roderick Haig-Brown Regional Book Prize and the 2009 Donner Prize for Best Book on Canadian Public Policy.

The other two books short-listed for the Ryga award were God Of Missed Connections

by Elizabeth Bachinsky and Where The Blood Mixes by Kevin Loring.

Film festival changes made Morning Star Staff

In the same way that diamonds are formed under intense pressure, Okanagan College’s English department is hoping a new threehour story writing competition to be held next month will produce some glittering literary treasures.

“We are challenging high school and Okanagan College writers to put themselves in the hot seat for 180 minutes of pressure to produce,” said Sean Johnston, one of the English department professors organizing the contest, which will be held Nov. 20 simultaneously at the college’s Salmon Arm, Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton campuses.

“Having that limited time frame to work within can provide the spark that will ignite creation of a great story.”

The contest is open to all Grade 11 and 12 students and to Okanagan College students as well.

Five prizes are available for the budding writers: one $250 tuition credit at each of the campuses and a prize of a $500 tuition credit for the judges’ choice of overall winner.

Johnston, who has published several works of fiction and poetry, is a firm believer that a little pressure goes a long way when it comes to coaxing the flow of creative juices.

He’s participated for four years in a CBC Radio/Okanagan College poetry venture called A Verse to Summer, which challenges writers to take a listener-defined topic and turn it into a radioready poem within a week.

The three-hour writing contest will start at noon, will be conducted in Okanagan College computer labs, and will require the writers to include a phrase or prompt (that will only be revealed as the contest is about to begin) that will have to feature prominently in the stories that are developed over the three hours.

Movember growing awareness GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

If men ever needed an excuse to grow a moustache, this is it.

For the entire month of November, guys are encouraged to sprout whatever style of soup strainer they want. Even better, if their better halves kick up a fuss, all they have to say is “It’s for charity.”

The campaign in question is prostate cancer awareness month, and the movement is being dubbed Movember (“Mo” is slang for moustache).

Prostate cancer is the No. 1 cancer affecting men. Fortunately, if detected early enough, it is one of the most treatable forms of the disease, with a high survival rate.

The idea for Movember began in 2003 in Australia and it has steadily gained momentum every year since. Last year, more than 255,000 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas (the women who support the men involved) participated, with more than one million donors raising $47 million worldwide.

A pair of Vernon mortgage specialists, Canada Trust’s Marc Gobeil and Chris Bader, are asking local businessmen to join the cause this November.

“We want to put out a challenge to the businessmen of Vernon to see if we can make it a bigger competition,” said Gobeil, who first began researching the disease after a family member was diagnosed with a bowel disorder, originally believed to be prostate cancer.

Not only does Movember follow breast cancer awareness month on the calendar, the charity’s goal is to have the moustache become a symbol for prostate cancer, much like the iconic pink ribbon is for breast cancer awareness.

“The point is to have people ask us ‘What’s up with the moustache?’ so we can proudly let them know that we are support-

Chris Bader (left) and Marc Gobeil, mortgage specialists with Canada Trust, are challenging Vernon businessmen to grow moustaches in support of Movember, a campaign for prostate cancer awareness. ing men’s health,” said Bader.

“It’s nice to see the awareness happen because it hasn’t really been at the forefront.

It’s a great way to get the story out of what we’re trying to do.”

The rules are simple – start Movember 1 clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month.

Gobeil and Bader have created a team called The Business Men of Vernon and Area on the Movember website (ca.movember. com) and are inviting people join. Simply

go to the site and type “The Business Men of Vernon and Area” in the member search and follow the prompts.

“Once your name is on the site, you become your own advocate. Promote yourself through the people you see everyday or spread the news of your moustache on Facebook, Twitter or blog,” said Bader.

The choice of moustache? Well, that’s a personal decision said Gobeil.

“It can be anything from a big ‘stache to those tiny peach fuzz things,” he grinned.

“You get to create your own identity for the next 30 days. I might go for the Salvador Dali look myself.”

Quipped Bader: “I’m going for the prepubescent Tom Selleck look.”

The funds raised through Movember’s Canadian campaign go directly to Prostate Cancer Canada, enabling them to conduct vital research that will lead to better screening tests, treatment options and support services for men surviving the disease.

investment trusts (REITs) that buy real estate and pass the rental income through to unit holders; royalty or resource trusts that buy either royalties or the rights to royalties on the production and sale of natural resources; and business income trusts that buy the assets of a company. The first two have existed for years, while business trusts started in 2000.

Let’s start with REITs. The good news is that the nine Canadian REITs are exempted from the SIFT tax. Hence, in 2011 REITs remain a tax-friendly source of income for investors.

Moving onto royalty and business trusts, at the end of August, 2010, nine Canadian income trusts have already converted to

dividend-paying corporations, allowing them to also dodge the SIFT bullet. The dividends these companies pay now are generally lower than the monthly distributions they previously paid as income trusts, but since they are not paying the SIFT tax, a distribution to dividend cut of 29 per cent is neutral on an after-tax basis.

Another pleasant surprise for investors is that a few of these companies have announced no reduction in payout when they converted this year from income distributions to dividends.

Bonus. Dividends used to be considered the icing on the cake, but in today’s economic climate, dividends are now the cake.

The recipients will be honoured at a gala celebration on Dec. 1, 2010 in Vancouver.

"Congratulations to each of the 18 businesses honoured in the second annual awards," said Campbell. "The businesses selected reflect the remarkable cross-section of enterprise and industry within British Columbia's Aboriginal business sector."

The Aboriginal awards were originally launched in October 2008 to honour and celebrate business excellence. An independent jury panel evaluated the submissions based on the viability, sustainability and competitiveness of the business.

The awards are presented by the BC Achievement Foundation in partnership with the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, and generously supported by New Relationship Trust, BC Hydro, Teck, and Encana.

The resulting lower gross profit, combined with increased investment in marketing, has impacted net income in 2010,� said Dave McAnerney, president and CEO. “The company’s financial position remains strong, with over $20 million in net current assets and no bank debt at the end of the third quarter of 2010.�

AUSTRALIA - We love our feisty little rental camper conversion. It’s just so Aussie – friendly, bright, laid back, and no worries.

We’re driving east from Melbourne.

Our zigzag route will take us to Wilsons Promontory in Victoria to explore some of this fantastic coastline, then north to ogle New South Wales’s Blue Mountains.

This visual feast will be followed by a more gastronomic one, tasting wines in the famed Hunter Valley. Our northernmost reach is Bundaberg in Queensland for a Great Barrier Reef excursion.

Two hundred kilometers east of Melbourne, the national park of Wilsons Promontory, with 130 kilometres of shoreline, is the largest coastal wilderness area in Victoria state. We wind our way here with the intention of squeaking some of that white quartz beach sand underfoot, of being bombarded by Tasman Sea rollers, and of spotting parrots in the Tidal River’s mangrove swamps, and koala bears in the gum forests.

The brimming park has 484 campsites and we’re the smallest ‘rig’ in the place. No worries, though, with the Aussie weather strolling toward autumn, we can pretty much live outdoors, and the van makes a cozy crib. We also discover propane barbecues and picnic tables everywhere.

Lofty Katoomba, around 800 kilometres distant, is the most visited town in the Blue Mountains, (so called because of their blue haze, caused by oils released from the Eucalyptus). It perches at 1017 meters, and for us that’s two days leisurely soporific driving.

Once here, so many choices of adrenalin rushes! We could take the steepest cable car in Oz, the 545-metre Sceniscender; or

The thing about wine tastings in Oz is that they’re as big as the continent. No mere onequarter in the bottom a glass here, and always an expansive selection waiting to be sniffed, swirled and swilled.

Many larger wineries tempt us with delicious lunches, shops, and even gardens; after the frenzied activity of the last few days, a relaxing break. We both conclude there is no bad wine ‘down under’.

Now the three-day, 1,100-kilometre dash to Bundaberg. We plan to experience a small southern part of the extensive 2,600-kilometre Great Barrier Reef.

A bus scoops us up at 6 a.m. and disgorges us 90 minutes later at The Town of 1770, where The Spirit of 1770, a high-speed 22-metre catamaran, awaits.

Lady Musgrave Island, 32 nautical miles offshore, almost a two-hour trip. Eventually we find ourselves in a picture postcard setting: no rollers in this blue sapphire lagoon, the only navigable lagoon in the whole of the Great Barrier Reef, we’re told. Nearby Lady Musgrave island looks the perfect model for paradise: exotic flora, a tumble of bleached coral, and a finger of beach as pale as some of our seasick passengers.

We tie up at a floating dock, complete with changing rooms,

shaded picnic tables, lofty lifeguard chair, and cupboards crammed with aqua toys: aqua shoes for guided trips ashore to explore the atoll; flippers, snorkeling equipment, lifejackets, scuba diving and fishing gear and boats.

One glass bottom launch takes us to shore in shifts, while the other – a nifty little semi submersible explores the pastel coral with its curious and colourful fish.

Even with five hours to play in the water, many of us have to be eventually lured out of

the tepid sea, and away from its underwater delights with promises of prawns and cake.

It’s an awesome end to an idyllic trip.

Next day, heading south on the coastal road to Sydney and its airport, the days pass in a haze of white sugar beaches, sudden sights of aquamarine waters, yew trees and koala spotting. The ‘Land Down Under’ is a road tripper’s paradise.

News MIKE SIMMONS Black Press

Joint research between Interior universities is becoming a feature of a regional effort to control the starling population.

Connie Bielert, executive director of the B.C. Grape Growers Association, administers the regional starling control program.

From 100 birds released in New York in the 1800s, North America is now home to more than 200 million of the birds.

Bielert noted starlings are highly successful invaders that lay multiple clutches, and they consume high values in crops and feed, and contaminate water and fruit.

Flocks of starlings displace native songbirds, and create intense competition for cavity nests and food.

Currently, five trappers work throughout the OkanaganSimilkameen area.

Starlings are trapped and euthanized.

By-catches are released.

The dead starlings are sold to falconers or given to raptor recovery centres. What’s left is composted. Bielert noted the best locations for starling traps have been feedlots and other cattle operations, as well as landfills.

In 2003, the program eliminated 15,369 starlings. By 2009, the total trapped had grown to 19,172 in the OkanaganSimilkameen. But the 2010 starling population has exploded far beyond last year.

Each regional district involved currently contributes about $25,000 per year to the starling control program. Donations also take place from grape growers and other agricultural producers.

The research component of the program

has UBC Okanagan graduate student Jessi Neuhauser working locally on the project, under the direction of Dr. Tom Dickenson at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops.

Objectives of the research are to document the seasonal variation in local starling populations.

The study hopes to create a library of chemical signatures from the birds, and help determine the source of the invaders.

Neuhauser examines stable isotopes picked up by the birds as they interacted with food, surface geology, soil, water and vegetation.

The particular isotopes remain present in the starling tissues, and create a “fingerprint� of where the bird has been.

Samples are taken from trapped starlings on an ongoing basis.

They are also taken from young starlings captured around the

region, so that researchers have a sampling of stable isotopes that can identify particular locales.

Neuhauser said the

research helps determine the source of the starling population, so control efforts can be focused there.

There are few meth-

ods to control such a large population. She pointed out falconry is the only other one that comes to mind, and it works on a small scale.

LeafSource stops woman’s pain within days! “It works! I’ll take another two bottles please!�

This coming from a customer who had tried every other natural remedy under the sun in the past few years to take away her pain. Ian, the owner of the health food store couldn’t believe his ears. He had ďŹ nally found the perfect product to stop his customer’s miseries. This is what every owner of a health food store dreams about, a natural product that receives so many outstanding testimonials on such a wide variety of health issues. “I had recommended a new product called LeafSource, which we recently started carrying. We have had tremendous success with this product, and almost everyone we have recommended it to over the last few months has come back and thanked us over and over againâ€? said Ian. Before trying LeafSource, the woman had complained about her ongoing joint pain and was at her wit’s end.

Although she had experienced some relief through the numerous natural remedies she had tried over the years, the pain would never fully go away. “She returned to my store, in tears, less than one week after buying LeafSource. I didn’t know what to make of this woman standing in front of me crying, until she told me that within a few days of taking LeafSource her pain started to disappear and within a week it was completely gone as if it was never there.� Ian goes on, “This coming from a woman whose painful joints and ongoing sciatica were so bad just one week earlier, that the pain was unbearable but now has completely subsided.�

By now you are probably wondering what is LeafSource and why is it so effective? LeafSource is a 100% natural product derived from a proprietary organic mineral composite with over ten years of university

research. LeafSource helps regulate the inflammatory process and the body’s ability to repair itself.

The vast majority (70 - 80%) of the population over the age of 50 have joint problems — often called osteoarthritis.

This is due to the natural (or unnatural) wear and tear on joint tissue that develops through the aging process.

With joint inammation, movement is limited and pain can be constant.

LeafSource seems to have the ability to help people get their mobility and zest for life back. Millions of people seek treatment for their joint and www.leafsource.com in ammation problems by resorting to expensive, toxic prescription drugs (i.e. NSAIDs) with multiple side effects. These range from nausea and vomiting to serious intestinal disorders (bleeding, gas, pain) and even kidney and liver failure. Isn’t that too large a price to pay for a little pain relief!? LeafSource is a safe alternative to these destructive anti-inammatory drugs that cause more problems than they solve. There are absolutely no side effects and it doesn’t interfere with any other medications. Controlled experiments and observations have revealed that LeafSource is a potent antiinammatory that has been shown to bring a reduction to inammation and pain within a few days. People notice great results in terms of more energy and less pain by taking anywhere from 2 to 6 capsules/day.

Typical maintenance is usually 1 capsule twice daily. This product gets results! LeafSource is scientiďŹ cally validated through more than 10 years of research at 4 universities, including the Department of

Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mercer University. Aside from its incredible anti-inammatory and pain reducing ability, it has also been shown to improve the performance of your daily nutrition and vitamin programs.

It helps increase the absorption of vital nutrients, which in turn helps these nutrients work better.

Better absorption = better results!

It’s almost as if they have become supercharged! LeafSource has also been shown to help enhance energy levels, improve intestinal health, strengthen hair, skin and nails and improve immune function.

To see someone go from intense pain to a new lease on life within a week is truly incredible. Imagine being able to move freely without pain.

Who wouldn’t want to get out of bed in the morning with more energy?

It’s amazing how much of this stuff we take for granted, until it’s gone! Ian adds, “I often recommend that LeafSource be taken with other natural joint products in order to help them work better and provide even faster relief. One of the things I hear most often from people who have tried LeafSource is they just plain feel better, have more energy and less pain. We’re so conďŹ dent, we guarantee LeafSource 100%! That alone should be enough to tryy this incredible product.â€? p

Resignation doesn’t sideline Campbell TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Premier Gordon Campbell intends to remain in charge for the next four to five months, implementing his latest wave of policy directives and directing the B.C. government as it heads into a spring budget.

Campbell took questions from reporters in Vancouver Thursday, a day after announcing he will leave office as soon as the B.C. Liberal Party can hold a leadership convention to replace him.

He said he will stay on as premier until another leader is chosen, and remain as MLA for Vancouver-Point Grey after that. “We’ve launched a pretty aggressive program for the spring legislative agenda,� Campbell said. “We have the second largest provincial

income tax cut that we’ve had. We still have a budget to go through, initiatives with regard to early childhood learning and development that we’re going to do. “We’ve got major initiatives to try and ensure we’ve got a stable health care system in the long term. I’ll be premier until that time.�

Campbell said he expects the next party leader will support the 15 per cent cut to personal income taxes starting Jan. 1, and “strengthening the private sector economy,� his key justification for implementing the harmonized sales tax.

A new leader from inside government will have been part of those decisions, and an outsider would support the philosophy that led to the government’s latest moves, he said.

Campbell rejected

Poachers sought JUDIE STEEVES Black Press

While there seem to be more ethical hunters out this fall hunting season, there are also more than usual who are not identifying their target adequately before squeezing the trigger.

Conservation officer Ed Seitz says there are more hunters than usual who are reporting themselves when they mistakenly shoot an animal that is not in season, which he says is the difference between an ethical hunter and a poacher.

The poacher, whether intentionally or unintentionally, slinks off after taking the shot, either with or without the meat, while the ethical hunter admits his mistake and contacts the CO service immediately.

That allows the meat to be saved for donation to a local charity, and prevents the full force of the law from being imposed for the mistake, says Seitz.

However, he is concerned that hunters are not making sure the animal is a mule or whitetail deer, for instance, before shooting.

While there are only subtle differences in the looks between the two species, the open seasons are quite different for each.

If you have information that could track down a poacher, call 1-877-952-7271.

suggestions that he was driven by low support in polls or an internal party effort to push him out.

He said he decision point came after last week’s televised address, in which he unveiled the income tax cut and expanded programs for

early childhood education. “When people start talking about the premier’s popularity as opposed to a way of increasing people’s takehome pay, the premier’s popularity as opposed to how we can really lift

our kids up and take full advantage of the opportunities of the education system in the 21st century, it’s clearly time for a change,� Campbell said.

The B.C. Liberal Party’s biennial convention was set to begin Nov. 19 in Penticton.

Party president Mickey Patryluk has announced it has been postponed until a leadership convention can be arranged.

The party also

Future of HST undetermined

MID-WEEK

MANIA

KATHY MICHAELS Black Press

Premier Gordon Campbell was a lightning rod for HST hatred, but whether his impending resignation will direct attention away from the reconstituted levy remains to be seen.

“This could give momentum to what’s essentially become a tax rebellion,” said Ross Hickey, assistant professor of economics of UBC Okanagan.

“Because the outgoing premier initiated the tax reform, and there has been increasRoss Hickey ing political opposition to the reform and we have the planned recall going on, it could give the opposition the idea that they’re winning the battle.”

If that fans dissent heading into next September’s referendum on whether or not to deep six the tax, Hickey said it could leave B.C. with the worst results.

He believes the HST is the best tax reform since the 1960s when the Canada Revenue Agency became the sole handler of collecting income tax, later remitting the provinces’ portions back to them.

“Now we don’t file taxes twice,” Hickey explained.

“That kind of process is efficient and the HST process is similar.”

Activity Horoscope

BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL Persons you’ve helped in the past will be looking for ways or means to square up accounts during the next solar cycle. A couple might do far more for you in return, but most will do what they can to equal what you did for them.

PUZZLE NO. 203

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Be on your toes, because that which occurs spontaneously can provide you with the best chances for personal gains.

Someone you run into could become the catalyst.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) What serves you best is likely to be your optimism and your initiative, because you’ll become involved in endeavors where both will be greatly needed.

ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203

HOW TO PLAY: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once.

Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) It’s wonderful of you to be helpful to those in need, but you could diminish your good deed by broadcasting it to everybody who’ll listen. Let your humility prevail.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) There is nothing wrong with being charmingly assertive when there is someone around in whom you’re interested.

If you haven’t made many points in the past, ride the winds of change.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Being competitive won’t be offensive to your friends if your tactics and procedures aren’t pushy or overwhelming. In fact, done right, your peers will try to imitate your methods later.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Try to associate with people whom you know usually stimulate your creativity, especially if your imagination has been a bit sluggish lately.

It’ll do wonders for getting your juices flowing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If you continue to use good judgment and sound methodology, your chances for success look better than ever, no matter what type of activity you find yourself involved in.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Listen attentively to the thinking of your mate or others with whom you might be closely involved concerning a collective endeavor you’ve taken on. You might hear some good ideas.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) This could be one of those days when being kind to others can generate unsolicited rewards, personal or otherwise. This can only happen, however, when your purpose is unselfishly motivated.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be especially fortunate in developments where you are dealing mostly with members of the opposite gender. Your charms will be more alluring than usual and hard to resist.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Even though the clock might say you are taking longer than usual in accomplishing your purposes, your stick-to-itiveness and determination will help you achieve whatever it is you want.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Be careful that you don’t carry being detailed-oriented to the point of it becoming an impediment. Spontaneous action is likely to produce your best chances for success.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do?

A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder Douglas Adams, who wrote the quintet of “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” books, said, “He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which.”

If you saw someone make this four-spade contract, you might not be sure whether it was extraordinary genius or naive incompetence. What is the right play? West leads the club queen. East wins with his ace and returns the club nine.

North’s three no-trump showed a balanced hand with 15-17 points, one of my least favorite responses because it takes up so much space on a potential

slam deal.

The original declarer made the normal-looking play, covering the club nine with his king.

However, West ruffed and shifted to a diamond.

Now the contract was unmakable. South had to lose one diamond, two clubs and the club ruff.

Now go back to trick two. Declarer must not cover the club nine -- he must let East take the trick. East will continue with a third club, and West, after ruffing, will shift to a diamond. South wins with dummy’s ace, draws trumps ending in the dummy, ruffs a club, plays a heart to dummy, and cashes the last club, discarding his losing diamond. He takes six

spades, two hearts, one diamond and one club.

Are you thinking that perhaps East started with the doubleton ace-nine of clubs? Then it costs only an overtrick when declarer ducks at trick two. Yes, West wins that trick and gives his partner a club ruff, but South takes the rest.
