Sept 3rd!!
Crown counsel has no interest in incarcerating a 95-year-old Vernon man suspected of murder. However, Howard Pontious said Wednesday his office had few options but to charge the man with murder after he allegedly assaulted his 85-year-old roommate in a two-bed room at Vernon Jubilee Hospital’s Polson residential care facility Sunday at around 11 p.m. The man who died was identified by family Thursday as William George May, 85, a longtime Vernon resident. Polson, operated by Interior Health, is a 26-bed secured dementia unit that provides care for people whose illness is complicated by behavioural or psychiatric issues. John Furman, a decorated Second World War veteran, was charged with murder on Monday. He has been sent to a Kamloops psychiatric facility for an assessment. “We really had little choice even though we’re aware of his difficult medical circumstances,” said Pontious outside of Vernon Provincial Court, where Furman’s next court date was scheduled for Sept. 25. “There’s a procedure in the (Criminal) Code and the procedure is to prove the facts. If we have a medical report that supports the suspect is not criminally responsible because of a mental disorder, we’d be in a position to send the accused to the provincial review board to address the main concern in this case, and that is the risk he poses to other people. “Unlike most murder cases, we’re not looking at punishment or retribution.” Pontious said Furman has already been declared certified under the Mental Health Act as a person incapable of looking after himself because of his mental disfunction. It was Pontious’ understanding that Furman had been living on his own with assistance until recently, when it was determined he needed full-time care. While some suspects can be decertified after receiving treatment, Pontious feels that won’t be the case with Furman. Pontious said it may become unnecessary to pursue a murder charge if Furman’s situation “is being dealt with adequately by the mental health system.”
“There has to be a reason for pursuing the charge,” he said. “The man’s 95, he’s frail, he’s mentally challenged. Do I need to send him to the review board? If it’s already being addressed, I’m not out to punish him. What would be gained by pursuing the charge?” Pontious said he can’t arbitrarily stay the murder charge, but would discuss the matter with his superiors once the assessment report is completed. Furman does not yet have a lawyer as the person or persons responsible for his power of attorney are out of the country. As of Wednesday, they had not been contacted. Asked what he knew about the accused, Pontious said Furman is a distinguished veteran who has an excellent record with no history of violence, “until he got Alzheimer’s disease.” Pontious told Judge Jim Threlfall that Furman was suffering from advanced Alzheimer’s. IH confirmed there was no record of any altercation between the suspect and victim, though they had only been roommates for four days prior to the assault. Like the RCMP, Pontious called the case “sad,” and something he’s never had to deal with in 36 years as a lawyer. “I’ve never been in position to have to prosecute somebody like this,” said Pontious. “It’s a sad situation. When you don’t see any culpability, somebody whose legacy is going to be tarnished, it’s harsh. Another person lost his life. It’s sad all the way around.” In an e-mail to The Morning Star, communications officer Lannea Parfitt said IH, “has educated staff on how to identify and respond to aggressive behaviours, including tools for identification of triggers and de-escalation.” All residents, she said, are regularly checked for behavioural changes, and care plans are then adjusted accordingly which includes monitoring to ensure residents are receiving the right care at the right time. “Staff also consult with specialized resources such as geriatric psychiatrists and clinical consultants for challenging behaviours, to ensure that residents’ care needs are being met,” said Parfitt.

District reviews water at landfill richard rolke
Morning Star Staff
Two fires within six months is prompting a review of procedures at the Greater Vernon landfill. The Regional District of North Okanagan is reviewing the current lack of water after Monday’s fire which consumed wood debris and adjacent grassland. Flames also destroyed the recycling facility in February. “We need a place on-site to fill water tenders (trucks),” said Dale Danallanko, operations manager. Extending domestic and treated effluent lines to the landfill has been previously investigated but one of the challenges is accessing private land from the closest connection on Commonage Road. A more likely option is using leachate water at the landfill. Leachate is water that has percolated through buried refuse and it’s collected in a pond. Surface runoff is also directed to the leachate pond. The lack of on-site water proved a signifi-
cant challenge for firefighters Monday. “They were tendering water from the Kalamalka Research Station (on College Way),” said Danallanko. Monday’s incident began when a grinding machine caught fire and the flames spread to a wood debris pile and the surrounding grassland. Crews have been on site since then. “Things are looking pretty good and we will continue to monitor the situation,” said Jack Blair, Vernon deputy fire chief. “On the landfill site, we have been breaking up the smouldering piles and dousing them to the best of our ability. We are also monitoring the north side of the ridge where there were a number of spot fires.” Blair isn’t sure when the fire will be completely mopped up. “It could be smouldering for weeks,” he said. The site has now been turned over to RDNO and the district has hired a wildfire contractor to continue to soak down the property and maintain a fire watch to ensure hot spots don’t grow.

The Regional District of North Okanagan is considering options for water after the most recent fire at the Greater Vernon landfill.
Downloading concerns overflow at RDNO hook for $3.2 million in dredging. “We have been fighting and fighting this,” she said. If RDNO was to proceed with enhancements to Ashton Creek, it’s not known where the funding would come from. “They can’t afford to contribute,” said Trafford Hall, administrator, of Ashton Creek taxpayers.
richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Ashton Creek residents are demanding action over flooding but local politicians are reluctant to get involved. Regional District of North Okanagan staff will prepare a report on the ramifications of remediation along Ashton Creek, but rural Enderby director Jackie Pearase isn’t sure RDNO has a role in the matter. “The creek is a provincial responsibility. It should be the province that fixes it,” she said. Ron Baker, RDNO’s community protective services manager, cautions that a study could lead to the district taking on repair costs and ongoing maintenance. “Once you are into it, you own all of the issues,” he said. However, the provincial government has indicated that RDNO must conduct a feasibility study on possible flood mitigation on the creek. That is also being sought by Ashton Creek residents. “We have a continous problem with spring

Residents fear that debris and silt in Ashton Creek could lead to flooding in the area. flood and we need the problem addressed before there is damage to property and life,” Len Bawtree, speaking for the community, told RDNO Wednesday. Among the issues are the creek bed being higher than the surrounding ground and a
culvert filling up with gravel. Residents want the creek dredged. Director Janice Brown is concerned about downloading on to RDNO because a local study about Fortune Creek led to the province saying Spallumcheen was on the

The Regional District of North Okanagan is under pressure to address flooding in Lumby.

Flood controls focus of report richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Flooding concerns in Lumby will be investigated but there’s no guarantee anything will be done. The Regional District of North Okanagan has asked staff to identify options to assist the village with flood control. “We will see if Lumby wants to contribute and then we can go from there,” said director Doug Dirk. RDNO received a letter from the village Wednesday expressing concern that high water and damage to property has not been taken seriously. The village has linked flooding on Duteau Creek to Greater Vernon’s domestic water operDoug Dirk tions. “Harris and Bessette creeks didn’t flood. Duteau was the only one that flooded,” said Kevin Acton, Lumby’s mayor. “If you are going to put in a dam and reservoir for Greater Vernon’s water, it has to be controlled in a responsible manner.” Given increasing reservoir storage and snowpack levels, Acton insists RDNO should have released water early to make room in the reservoirs and minimize the potential of flooding. RDNO officials state they can’t let water out of the reservoirs early, because, depending on weather conditions in the early spring, that water may be needed for domestic supply this summer. “We’ve had three years where we’ve been unable to fill the reservoirs even with high snowpack. It either evaporates or goes into the ground,” said Dale McTaggart, engineering general manager. He also points out that snowmelt spilling over the reservoirs and into the creek is a natural process. A possible option to reduce flooding is expanding the height of the reservoirs, but some doubts exist about that proposal. “Even if we raise the Aberdeen dam, there’s no guarantee it will stop flooding because the tributary area is quite large,” said McTaggart. Any work could be costly and the provincial and federal governments would likely be approached for funding. “We’re not just looking to the regional district. We’re looking for a total solution,” said Acton.

Complex ready for maintenance roger knox Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Recreation Complex is getting set for its annual fall maintenance shutdown. The pool and weight room will be closed from Monday through to Sept. 22, as will the rec complex’s main office. Registration for fall programs and other information will be handled at Kal Tire Place for walk-in traffic from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday (closed on Labour Day Monday, Sept. 2). You can also sign up for fall programs, or get further information, online at www. greatervernonrecreation.ca. “It’s been about 15 years since we’ve done some work to the main office,” said Doug Ross, the City of Vernon’s director of recreation services. “The public will notice a new facade when they come into the rec centre. It will be much more inviting.” The front counter will be renovated to included a disabled accessible counter, allowing staff to service the disabled at their level. The registration office is just one of a handful of renovations being done. The biggest change will come in the aquatic centre. A 90-ton crane was on-site Wednesday to maneuver the rec centre’s brand new dehumidification unit into place.

Regional District of North Okanagan facilities manager Jim Coughlin (left) and City of Vernon director of recreation services, Doug Ross, are excited to have a new dehumidification unit installed at the Vernon Recreation Complex. The unit, which came via truck from Texas, will improve air quality over the lap pool. “We’ll have better air quality and more control over it,” said Ross. “It will be more efficient than the old system and should be a cost saving operationally.” According to the engineering firm, Stantec, the tradi-
Fintry boat stolen Morning Star Staff
The RCMP are requesting the public’s help in identifying suspects believed to be responsible for the theft of a Sea Eagle zodiac boat. The vessel was taken from the west side of Fintry Delta Road between the hours of 8 and 9 p.m. on Tuesday. The zodiac is described as a 2006 model, 10.5feet in length, gray with black pinstriping. Its hull has recently been patched. The serial number is #LES200606707. A Johnson outboard motor, white in colour, with serial number #J4RL4SD, was also stolen. Anybody with any information is asked to contact the Armstrong RCMP at 250-546-3028 and ask for Const. Komlos. You can also call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
tional method of dealing with humidity and moisture in swimming pool enclosures has been to circulate high amounts of outside air and use natural gas to heat as required. The new unit is designed to control humidity by using energy efficient heat pump technology via B.C.’s green
electricity. Gas usage will be minimized, and the centre’s carbon footprint, carbon tax and greenhouse gases will all be reduced. The pool’s old unit is being rebuilt and will be placed over the leisure pool. A government grant has allowed the rec centre to purchase a new lift chair for people with disabilities for the pool, and there will be improved lighting for the swimming area, making the aquatic centre brighter and more energy efficient. The aquatic centre’s roof is also being redone during the renovations. There’s also a big change to the rec centre auditorium. Glass doors are being installed at the main entrance to the auditorium, which will help eliminate noise for groups using one of the two break-out rooms located off the auditorium. “It’s going to make the main foyer a public space and we could now accommodate three different events in the auditorium at the same time without interference,” said Ross. The floor of the kitchen, located off the auditorium, is being replaced for the first time since the facility opened in the 1960s. Some new exterior doors are being added to the auditorium and Halina Centre.

The lure of the fair
reasy, fried onions. Those little doughnuts. Freshly-squeezed lemonade. Yes, these gourmet delights can only mean one thing: it’s time to put aside all thoughts of fibre, anti-oxidants and diets aside and tuck into the delights that await at the 110th annual Interior Provincial Exhibition. I fought the lure of the IPE for many years. As a transplanted Vancouverite, my fair was the PNE. Some of my fondest childhood memories are those of me and my siblings traipsing around the fairgrounds, laughing and giggling, making a masterpiece of spin art and daring each other to go on the Coaster, the Zipper or any number of other vomitKatherine Mortimer inducing rides. I still have the stuffed dog, attached to a bamboo pole, that my dad bought for me, and the pink poodle I won in a game of chance. We used to get the occasional smaller fair in our neighbourhood, which was always a thrill, but it wasn’t the PNE. It didn’t have the livestock, the hawkers of knives and shammies and it didn’t have the chance to “win a house, win a car!” But when our daughter was two, our niece, who was then nine, was visiting from Saskatchewan and so of course we took her to the IPE, where we quickly burned through ride tickets. Our little one was a little less than enthusiastic about all rides, except the ponies. It was another two years before we tried the fair again. This time, she was four and we brought along a little friend. Figuring they’d only go on a few rides, we didn’t bother with ride bracelets. We miscalculated how much joy two four-year-olds would get out of the midway. I have since learned my lesson: get the ride bracelet, let them go nuts on the rides and then you’re not counting how many tickets each ride will cost you. And if you only have one child, bring a friend, so you’re not forced to go on the Scrambler. My tolerance for rides outside of the
At RAndoM
Magic Kingdom disappeared about the same time as my natural hair colour. For last year’s IPE, my sister and I took my daughter and this same friend, now both almost seven. I experienced that same thrill I used to get as a kid arriving at the PNE with my parents. And I got the extra thrill of seeing these two youngsters, their faces lit up as they jumped up and down with joy, trying to decide which rides to check out first. As the sun goes down, and the neon begins to shine, I am transported back to childhood. I remember that thrill, that joy of being in the moment. As far as talking them into checking out the displays of livestock, the horticulture, the petting zoo or any of the other many exhibits that make up the fair outside of the midway, well let’s just say we were thwarted in our efforts. The only thing I really need for myself is the chance to stop by and say hi to Meryl and Tony. Their friendly smiles and easy banter would be enough, but the fact that I can get a 99 — their amazing soft ice cream garnished with a Flake bar — makes my IPE experience complete. Of course, I make sure to have first eaten one of the sublime burgers made by the women of St. Joseph Catholic Church, with those perfect fried onions, accompanied by fries and washed down with an ice-cold beverage from the lemonade stand. Everyone has their favourite fair food, their favourite fair memory. And as my sister gets set to make her annual summer trip to the North Okanagan, the IPE is definitely on our itinerary. We look forward to seeing the fair through the kids’ eyes, as we reminisce about the fun we had when we were their age. Mind you, in the old days, my dad wasn’t carrying a cell phone with the fair app downloaded for easy access to that day’s schedule. Yes, the IPE now its own Web app so you can keep track of when to check out the monster trucks, chuckwagon races or the lumberjack show. I’ll be busy watching a couple of eight-yearolds enjoying their 12th ride on the Berry-goRound.
It’s great to see that the Regional District of North Okanagan is considering options for water supply at the Greater Vernon landfill. Unfortunately, though, the process comes after two massive fires occurred within six months. Yes, establishing a water supply at the remote site will be costly but how expensive was the response to Monday’s blaze? Dozens of firefighters, helicopters and air tankers don’t come cheap. RDNO now must also contract a private firm to complete mop-up. On top of this, consider that given the time required for trucks to travel to College Way for water, the emergency could have evolved into something far worse than it was. What would RDNO’s liability have been had the blaze spread into a nearby residential neighbourhood? The most likely option for water is tapping into the leachate pond (water that has percolated through buried garbage). Given that the pond is already there, that is a positive. But is there a consistent source of leachate to ensure a sufficient supply? Also, the pond is fed by surface runoff like rain, but we we all know this summer was extremely dry. The more reasonable option is extending domestic water or treated effluent lines from Commonage Road to the landfill. Granted easements would be needed with the property owners but co-operating is to their advantage as they wouldn’t want a wildfire to roar out of control and threaten them. The entire North Okanagan has invested significant dollars in the landfill and action is required to protect a vital community asset. But more importantly, is doing it right.

Bypass proposal off course
C
ouncillor Spiers' ill-conceived proposal for a bypass to divert traffic around Vernon is typical of the small town attitude that has plagued civic politics and substantially contributed to Vernon's economic decline in the past 40 years. Mr. Spiers' concern for the truck drivers who don't want the chore of having to pass through Vernon is misplaced. They contribute nothing to our community so why does he care? So too is his concern about the risk of a catastrophic accident involving a truck travelling down Hospital Hill. Transport trucks have been travelling down Hospital Hill for more than 70 years and the accident Mr. Spiers is worried about has yet to happen, so any risk is obviously small. Mr. Spiers would better serve the community if he focused on devolping policies that attracted people to Vernon and, more importantly, gave them a reason to stop and visit and perhaps spend a little money. John S. Davis
HoSpital meter On Aug. 2, my mother, who is a senior citizen, and myself ventured out to visit a family friend who was a patient at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. My mom had been putting off going to visit her friend and I finally found out that the reason she doesn’t visit people in the hospital is because of the parking lot meter. Mom says she has problems with it every time she goes up there and it is frustrating to say the least. So we get to the hospital and park. Mom and I head over to the pay for parking meter and there are two other people there. Sure enough, both people were having trouble with the meter. First off, it is very hard to read and the second thing was that it was not taking the money. We all tried toonies and loonies. Between three of us placing coins into the meter, it must have been 15 or 20 times before one actually was accepted and a ticket
R #
came out. Then the whole process occured all over again. Vernon is full of seniors and this pay for parking meter is very difficult for many of them to see and use. They are putting off visiting patients who are family and friends because they are afraid of the meter or if not being able to get a ticket from meter, then being fined for parking or towed away. This has been going on for some time and I believe that a new meter should be installed that is user-friendly. Barb Chapman DiffiCult Situation It is great shock that we learn of the charges against Jack (John) Furman. I have been with Jack many times over the years and regard him as a father. My father fought in the First Special Service Force, the same as Jack.
I had the privilege to spend some time with Jack less than two weeks ago. I can speak for the many people that have been with Jack over the years. Jack joined us in Italy during the Italy tour, when we took him along with five of his buddies back to retrace their footsteps through the many battlefields where they were so successful. Jack was one of a small highlytrained unit who brought freedom and hope to many of the displaced residents of Italy during the Second World War. We knew Jack as a fun-loving, teasing and charming gentleman who always had an answer to anything. We will be placing a plaque on a mountain in Italy this December where Jack's regiment was hit very hard. We know Jack is alone right now, but we are with him always and offer our support any way that we can. John Hart,

Our success was because of you. lindsay kibbe, Grindrod recreation association treasurer Water uSe I read the letter, Water is a vital resource. Normally, I'd have to agree with everything written but I work in the BX where I've seen farmers using big, industrial-type sprinklers to spray thousands of gallons of water on horse and cow pastures. At one location alone, there were 12 of these things running constantly, day and night for three days. Is this the highest and best use
of this precious commodity? I wonder. John milne

Mayor camping for social services Lumby’s mayor is pulling out the sleeping bag and tent for a good cause. Kevin Acton will be camping at the Highway 6 pull-out, on the west side of the village, from 5 p.m. Saturday to 5 p.m. Monday to raise awareness about the Whitevalley Community Resource Centre’s Legacy Fund. “Our social service programs have been underfunded for years,” he said. “But part of the reason the community is tightly-knit and safe is because we have great social programs.” The Legacy Fund’s goal is to raise $800,000 over five years. The principle will remain in an endowment fund and the interest generated each year will help cover operational expenses at the centre. The campaign was launched because government grants are uncertain and the centre almost closed a few years ago. WCRC services include counsel-
ling for adults and families, addictions counselling, after-school activities, Kid’s Zone in Cherryville, summer day camps, toddler programs, cooking classes for those on a budget, seniors drop-in, health information for seniors, Good Food Box and Internet access. Acton believes the programs are critical. “I’ve witnessed where people have hit a stumbling block in life and if someone is there to catch them, the drop can be a lot shorter,” he said. Acton has pulled together some reading material for his outing, but he is counting on Lumby, Cherryville, Whitevale and Mabel Lake residents to keep him busy. “I want people to come by and chat. It will be great to have some company,” he said, adding that he will also be collecting donations for the Legacy Fund. For more information about the Legacy Fund campaign or to donate, call 250-547-8866 or go to www. whitevalley.ca.

At 65, Sandee Snow never imagined her organs would be any good. Especially for a young man like her stepson. “I really never thought that an old kidney like mine would make the grade,” said Snow, who figured someone much younger would be needed as a donor. But when her stepson’s kidneys were functioning at less than eight per cent and she was determined both a blood and tissue match, she happily stepped up as a donor. “It went perfectly,” said Vernon’s Snow of the Jan. 7 transplant with her 42-year-old stepson Lane Bovill, of West Kelowna. “He’s in perfect condition and I am too. If I didn’t have the scar I wouldn’t even know I was missing a kidney. “And he wakes up everyday thanking me.” Along with the immense joy the entire family, especially Bovill, has for the successful transplant, Snow is particularly happy to have been able to help. And she hopes her story will encourage others to do the same. “I hope that other people realize that you can function with just one kidney.” The importance of organ donation is also a message the Kidney Foundation of Canada (B.C. branch) also hopes to spread – just in time for the fifth annual Vernon Kidney Walk Sunday at Polson Park. “It (the walk) is to get people aware of kidney disease,” said Eva Cassidy, walk co-ordinator. “It affects one in 10. “The organ donation is also a big thing. It kind of goes hand-inhand.” To celebrate their own recent transplant success, Snow, Bovill and their families are making their first strides in the Vernon walk. “Lane is coming up

SPCA requires public’s help Morning Star Staff
The Vernon SPCA is overwhelmed with homeless kittens and is seeking the public’s help with feeding all of its hungry houseguests. “It is a challenge to keep up with the needs of all of the kittens who are dropped off at the shelter or are abandoned at this time of year,” said Corinne Ross, branch manager. “We would be so grateful if people are able to help us by dropping off cans of high-quality canned kitten food.” Ross hopes individuals who are considering adopting will come and visit the 40 kittens currently looking for homes. “During the summer, we take in so many kittens and our goal is to find each one a loving family as quickly as possible.” To help, visit the Vernon SPCA at 4800 Haney Rd. or call 250-549-7297.

A classic car event is revving up in Lake Country. The Lake Country Customs and Classics Car Show is set for Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Swalwell Park and is free to the public. However, organizers are asking the public to bring donations for the food bank. “We are expecting up to 400 cars this year and we will have a live rock and roll band playing all the old songs from the ‘50s and ‘60s,” said event manager Ron Volk. “There is the water park for the kids. Don Folk Chevrolet is our major sponsor this year and they along with Kelowna Ford will have some of their new cars on display.” Now in its fifth year, Volk and fellow car enthusiast Mark Jones are committed to ensuring Lake Country Customs and Classics Car Show is one of the best in B.C. The pair are diligently working on attracting some of the nicest cars a person will see at such an event. “We are a non-profit organization and all our profits go to charities in Lake Country,” said Volk, pointing out the event raised $6,000 for the food bank in 2012. “This year we have 12 trophies to give out, lots of great door prizes, dash plaques and a $1,000 grand cash prize from Don Folk Chevrolet. Every car registered will be eligible to win this prize.” Proceeds from this year’s event will go towards the new food bank building in Lake Country.

Hayward hoists cup Morning Star Staff/Golf Canada
Mary Ann Hayward is already a Canadian Hall of Famer on the women’s golf scene. The Aurora, Ont. native cemented her legacy a little bit more Thursday afternoon as she collected her third Royale Cup Canadian Senior Women’s Championships in four years at the Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club. Hayward, who also won titles in 2010 and ‘11, followed up a steady 4-over-par 75 on her opening round Monday with a scorching 4-under 67 Tuesday. Her Round 2 scorecard included seven birdies, a bogey and a double-bogey. She then eagled the par-5 11th hole en route to an even-par 71 Thursday, which left her at par for the week, and five strokes ahead of runner-up, and four-time Royale Cup winner, Alison Murdoch of Victoria (74-72-72). “I knew I had to put together a good round to get back in it after a sloppy round on the Tuesday,” said Hayward. “Everything clicked, I was seeing those lines on the putts. I made a ton of 10- to 12-footers. “I’ve worked quite hard this year in preparing for this, knowing that the competition would be strong. It’s very rewarding to have it all come together.” Hayward, who stayed at a friend’s condo on Okanagan Lake, had plenty of praise for the Spall course, the organizing committee and the 140 volunteers who helped make the tournament a success. “Spall was absolutely fantastic,” she said. “They were such a good venue for the tournament. The course was magnificent and what was most impres-
sive was all the volunteers.” A pair of Quebec golfers – Gatineau’s Diane Dolan (73-75-72) and Candiac’s Marie TortiTherese – shared third place at 7-over. Vancouver’s Holly Horwood, who held the lead after Day 1, finished fifth at 8-over after carding rounds of 71-76-74. Port Alberni’s Jackie Little, formerly of Vernon, slipped a little on her final day to earn sixth at 11-over (74-72-78). Hayward has earned an exemption into the USGA Senior Women’s Amateur Championship, Sept. 21-26 at CordeValle Golf Club in San Martin, Calif. n Vernon’s Jesse Crowe and Keith Vandenbrink shot identical rounds of 79-72 to finish in a group of six at 7-over, good enough for 30th at the Titleist/ Footjoy PGA of B.C. Championship Tuesday at the Salmon Arm Golf Club. Greg Machtaler, head pro at the Summerland Golf & Country Club, claimed the title and $6,000 after outlasting Bryn Parry of Seymour Creek Golf Centre and Eddward Boudreau of Victoria’s Gorge Vale Golf Club on a second playoff hole. Machtaler carded a pair of 3-under 69s to match Parry (68-70) and Boudreau (73-65) at 6-under. n Coldstream’s Austin Bosquet, a member of the Vernon Golf & Country Club, finished in a tie for 12th at the B.C. Juvenile Championships Tuesday at the Crown Isle Resort and Golf Community in Courtenay. Bosquet carded rounds of 72-74-75 to sit at 5-over, 11 strokes back of champion Alex Francois of Burnaby (70-69-63).

Dr. Lee’s caps stellar season by rolling Wrap Zone Morning Star Staff
Dr. Lee’s Dental ended their pennant-winning regular season by grounding Wrap Zone 4-1 Tuesday night at Marshall Field #3. Missing their top three scorers for the year and down one player, the Floss crew opened the scoring in the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 1 tilt when Jacquie Hansen tipped in a cross from Lori Shippy 30 minutes in. Shortly after, Hansen connected again on a great cross from Kim Teichman. In the second half, Stephanie Wilson and Jenessa Moore moved the ball up to Shippy, who deflected a shot from 15 yards out that fooled the Wrap Zone keeper. Wrap Zone replied to make it 3-1, but Teichman, who missed a breakaway two minutes earlier, took a pass from Wilson and buried one from 10 yards. Irene Arrotta, Loren Brunelle and Cindy Worth played excellent defensively, and Jill Rintoul overlapped with the forwards to keep Wrap Zone hemmed in their end. Lisa Arrotta earned win. Little Tex Outlaws and North Enderby Timber Celtics ran
to a 1-1 draw at Marshall #2. NET went ahead midway through the second half on a penalty shot, converted by veteran Shannon Nolting. “This was our best season to date,” said Celtics’ coach Graham Ross. “We have been improving over the last few years, but it all showed this year recording the second most wins in the league and the least goals against.” Stacey Cover, named Little Tex Lady of the Match, supplied her team’s offence after a nifty give-and-go with Maria Thorlakson. Cover wheeled up field and beat the Celtics’ lone defender and put a beautiful shot over the keeper’s head. The Outlaws, missing many key members, had players line up in different positions. Cover filled in admirably as sweeper, and kept the Celtics’ scoring chances to a minimum. Katlyn Dyck was outstanding in the middle, orchestrating multiple attacks while halting NET’s progress. Midfielders Christine Fraser, Anita Rae and Thorlakson showed plenty of hustle, and both (Lean) Lena Dean and Brianna Ostafie delivered a barrage of tricky crosses. Brittany Davison and Rae shared keeper duties. “It was a true team effort,” said Cover. “Outlaws can be
proud of a game well played. We may have missed second place by tying this game, but we can walk off the field knowing we left it all on the field.” Ali Clarke had the lone goal as the AF Bazers closed out the season with a 5-1 loss to Glenn Power of Salmon Arm. Clarke’s goal put her one ahead of teammate Hailey Woon for the team scoring lead at 13. Blazers’ MVP Amber Maltman was an all-star on defence. In Masters Division play Tuesday night, Season’s Sistas and Rosters settled for a 4-4 tie at Marshall #4. Diane Neudorf and Kim Sylvester powered the Sistas with a pair of goals each. Suzyn August was steady in net, making Rosters work hard for their goals. Goplen’s Drillers finished the season in style, grounding Shuswap Kaos 3-2 in a hard-fought, physical game. Playing with only one sub, Goplen used smart passing and communication to survive the heat. Their first goal came when halfback Jodi Peshko sent a through ball to Nancy Nickoli, who dribbled around a charging Kaos keeper for an empty-netter.

The Controls settled down and evened the score when Mike Bennett beat his defender on the wing and delivered a cross for fellow winger Taylor Horsting, who converted a left-footed finish past Courvas keeper Morgan Stanton. For the rest of the half, Turn-Key midfielders Preston Tucker and Evan Moore battled the talented and physical Courvas grow for control of the middle. Gouchee made the TSN Turning Point and Total Restoration Save of the Game in the first half ’s final moments, making a fantastic diving stop on a partial Courvas breakaway to keep the score even going into the break. In the second half, central defenders Sam Nolan and CarsonHaywood Farmer, who shared Nolan Friday, Sept. 20, 2013 Pharmasaves Man of the Match honours, along with timely saves by 6:30 pm Gouchee, consistently shut down the high-octane Courvas attack. at the Vernon Curling Club Turn-Key got the break they need3400 - 39th Avenue, Vernon, B.C. ed in the 70th minute, when Thomas Pool flicked a ball past the Courvas defenders for his streaking brother Andrew, who was initially stopped by Stanton but buried his own rebound for the game winner.

The Kaos replied in the second half, but a short time later, halfback Michelle Loxam put a pass back to defender Barb Levesque, who hammered a shot from the 18, and Melissa Hensen was there to deposit the rebound. Minutes later, Kaos equalized again on a high, sharp shot that keeper Shawn Nickoli was unable to punch over the bar. Loxam supplied the winner on a tremendous solo effot, beating several Kaos defenders before slotting a low shot to the corner.

Snake size up roster Graeme Corbett Morning Star Staff
Things appear to be shaping up nicely for the Vernon Vipers as they prepare for the fast approaching B.C. Hockey League season. Quite literally. If there is one thing fans are bound to notice when Vernon hosts the Salmon Arm SilverBacks in exhibition play Saturday night (7:00) at Kal Tire Place, it’s that this year’s team has no shortage of muscle. Head coach Jason Williamson has yet to finalize his 22-man roster, but it is almost certain to be the biggest since 2009-10. Returning big-rig blueliners Ryan Renz (6-foot-2, 210 pounds) and Michael Statchuk (6-0, 205) will be joined by ex-Nanaimo Clipper Josh Bryan (6-2, 205) and American imports Mark Hamilton (6-3, 220) and Kenny Citron (6-1, 210). “Anyone coming into our end isn’t gonna want to be in there very long,” said Williamson. “Good luck because they’re physical. I want them to wear other teams down.” Coming into camp as a 20-year-old defenceman, Bryan thought he would have an edge on the competition. And while he has stood out as a smart, reliable defender this week, it hasn’t been easy. “It’s tough,” said Bryan, who, along with forward Michael McNicholas, came to Vernon as part of the trade that sent Aaron Hadley to Nanaimo. “Coming in as a 20-year-old, you think you might be able to dominate, but it’s good competition out there. “The blood’s boiling a little bit in the intra-squad games, which is good to see. I’m getting right into that. Hopefully we can turn that over and have that intensity over other teams.” Bryan, a Victoria product, posted nine goals for 30 points in 55 games last season with Mike Vandekamp’s Clippers. McNicholas, a 19-year-old Manhattan Beach, Calif. native, had 22-10-32 in 35 games. At 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds, he will be one of the smaller Viper forwards this season. However, it’s forwards like Mason Blacklock (6-2, 200), Matty Saharchuk (6-3, 195), Dexter Dancs (6-2, 205), Dallas Calvin (6-5, 210), Liam Coughlin (6-4, 202) and Brendan Persley (6-1, 205) that will make the ice surface at Kal Tire Place feel like Okanagan Training Rink. “If you take up more ice, good things are going to happen,” said Williamson. “If you look at the NHL and the teams that are winning now, like the Chicago Blackhawks, they’re big, hard, grinding teams. “I really want our team to have the identity that they’ll be skilled, but some games that’s not going to be there. I want other teams to realize it’s going to
be a battle.” The main worry about big-bodied players is their skating and mobility, but Williamson noted that with the offseason training programs these kids put themselves through, he isn’t overly concerned. “You have to be able to skate to play, but these kids are all personally trained,” he said. “They’ve been at skills camps and power skating.” Williamson released half a dozen players following Wednesday’s Blue vs White intra-squad game, which Kris Mallette’s Team White won 6-3, making it a three-game sweep over Dave Robinson’s Team Blue. Leaving camp are Alex Gran, Griffin Dyne, John Hume, Tyson Klingspohn, Blake Waldersen and Nick Guerra, which leaves Williamson and his staff 10 more cuts to get down to the 22-man limit. The remaining Viper hopefuls spent Thursday morning in a systems meeting before hitting the ice for practice. They open a five-game exhibition schedule tonight in Salmon Arm. The Snakes will meet the Prince George Spruce Kings in 100 Mile House for a Wednesday-night tilt, and will wrap their exhibition schedule with a homeand-home set against Rylan Ferster’s West Kelowna Warriors starting next Friday in Vernon. The regular season opens with the second annual Showcase tournament beginning Saturday, Sept. 7 at Prospera Centre in Chilliwack. Vernon faces the defending Fred Page Cup champion Surrey Eagles on Sept. 7, followed by the Chilliwack Chiefs on Sunday, Sept. 8. The Vipers’ home opener is Saturday, Sept. 14 (7 p.m.) against Salmon Arm. Meanwhile, organizers of the Vipers Tee Off for KidSport charity golf tournament, which goes Sunday (1 p.m. shotgun start) at The Rise, have announced their Telus-sponsored juniors golfers. Dexter Weiten, 13, Christian Lacosse, 16, Ethan Hunt, 13, and Ryan Moon, 14, will all hit the links with the Vipers and other guest celebrities for the Texas scramble tourney. Several regular entries still available. The $160 entry fee includes dinner, prizes, tee gift, silent auction, autograph session and a ticket to the VipersBacks exhibition. To register, contact The Rise head pro Lee Ranger by phoning 250-545-7425, or e-mailing lee.ranger@ therise.ca. Or call the Viper office at 250-542-6022.

Champness up for Penticton Challenge Graeme Corbett Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Nathan Champness capped his amateur triathlon career in style, winning the 31st annual Pushor Mitchell Apple Triathlon Sunday in Kelowna. Champness completed the Olympic-distance event (1.5-km swim, 40-km bike ride and 10-km run) in one hour, 59 minutes and 39 seconds. It was his first win in five attempts. He was runner-up last year, and third in 2011. The Apple also serves as Triathlon B.C.’s provincial agegroup championships, which awards one spot in each age group for each gender at the 2014 World Championships in Edmonton. Victoria’s Carlos Lesser was second in 2:00:49, while Ryan Smiley of Vancouver was third in 2:02:39. “My swim was a little on the slow side,” Champness told The Morning Star. “I dropped four minutes on the second-place guy. I had to spend my entire bike erasing a deficit.” By the time he hit the run course, Champness had a narrow half-minute lead on Lesser. Apparently, that wasn’t enough. “I thought he would outrun me, so I basically took the first 2km at
an all-out sprint,” said Champness. “I just threw caution to the wind and any sense of pacing. “You wake up at 5km and go ‘Hey, I’m still here and in one piece.’ “It was a fun race that way, just chasing all the guys down on the bike and then hanging on for dear life. I haven’t enjoyed the thrill of racing that much in a long time.” Earlier this season, Champness won both the Desert Half Iron and the Kal RATS Sprint. His half iron time (4:18:34) earned him a pro entry in Sunday’s Challenge Family Triathlon (formerly Ironman Canada) in Penticton. Champness, who is sponsored by The Starting Block/Saucony and Olympia Cycle, is a rare breed of athlete, one that thrives as much on the training as he does on race day. On top of holding down two jobs – he works at The Starting Block and GNC Nutrition – he is logging around 30 hours a week training. Aside from swimming guidance from Laura Medcalf and former Ironman Canada winner Mel Spooner, he trains without a coach. “They’re (training and racing) two distinct situations,” said Champness. “With that fun objective of planning for the training, you get to be a scientist of some
sort, and then you just get to let it fly on race day. That’s when the emotion comes out. “I live for that. Just figuring out how to tune the machine to be a better human being just fascinates me.” Sunday will be Champness’ first crack at the Ironman distance (3.86-km swim, 180-km bike, 42.2km run). Physically, he knows he is ready. Mentally, there are several questions he intends to answer. “Pacing, nutrition and stubbornness play quite a role,” he said. “Fitness-wise I have potential to do an excellent time, but if it was just about fitness there wouldn’t be such allure to the event. “If I race Olympic distance for the thrill of the chase, the Challenge distance is all about discovery. It’s where you go to learn about yourself.” Other North Okanagan athletes posting top-five age-group results at the Apple include: Peter Byrnes (fifth, men’s 45-49, 2:17:22), Erica Moser-Reschreiter (fourth, women’s 40-44, 2:28:05), Paul Filippi (third, men’s 60-64, 2:40:50), Cheri Stewart (fifth, women’s 50-54, 2:58:19), Linda Proce (second, women’s 55-59, 3:04:58).

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder KEEP AWAKE TO THE DANGER Some of you read these columns over the Internet. That would have been much harder to do if newspaper owners had foreseen the danger to their printed editions and always charged for everything on their websites. Now, maybe, it is too late. Bridge players should also be keeping an eye open for dangers -- the fourth letter of my “trade” acronym. In particular, it is hard to break the habits of a lifetime when a deal comes along that does not fit into a typical pattern. In today’s, how should South plan the play in three no-trump, and how should East defeat him? After a simple Stayman
auction, West leads the heart nine, top of touching cards in a suit containing no honors. South has eight top tricks: three hearts and five clubs. He can get a ninth winner from diamonds. The danger is that the defenders will take the first diamond trick and cash four spades. When declarer needs some help from the defenders, he should put them on the spot as quickly as possible. South should take the first trick with his ace, play a club to the queen, feigning a finesse, and call for a diamond. Many Easts would play second hand low without even thinking. But an East who is used to deducing the danger will see that declarer
has at least eight winners via three hearts and five clubs. If he is allowed to steal a diamond trick, he will be home. East should dive in with the diamond ace and shift to the spade king. When it holds, he continues with his second spade and the contract dies. Flyers, coupons deals and money saving tips all in one place!

The Okanagan Quality Life Society has been taking disabled and long-term care residents of the community for therapeutic outings on its boat Heaven Can Wait, which is being replaced after 21 years of service.
Society seeks new pontoon Morning Star Staff
It turns out heaven can’t wait. At least, not in the case of the Okanagan Quality Life Society’s 24-foot pontoon boat named Heaven Can Wait. After 21 seasons and delighting thousands of guests from facilities and programs such as Noric House, Gateby, Downs, Vernon Restholm, Polson Residential and many others, Heaven Can Wait will be retired at the end of 2013. “A new pontoon boat will be purchased in 2014, and fundraising for that is underway,” said Rob Irwin, with the Okanagan Quality Life Society. Formed in 1992 as a charitable, non-profit organization, the Okanagan Quality Life Society provides a way for disabled members of the community and seniors in long-term care facilities to enjoy therapeutic outings on Okanagan Lake. It was 103-year-old Rose Griffin who named the boat Heaven Can Wait in 1992, and enjoyed three more years of boating on it after she named it. “It is my professional experience that all guests on the boat thoroughly enjoy their outings, not

only from a recreational point of view but certainly also from a therapeutic one,” said Vernon recreation therapist Marijon Florentinus. “After a boating trip they feel great.” The society receives no government funding and relies upon charitable donations and volunteers from the local community to keep afloat. Operating costs include insurance, equipment, boat and equipment maintenance and fuel. The boat is moored for free at the Vernon Yacht Club and the Blue Heron Pub provides $300 worth of gas each season. There are between 25 and 30 trained volunteer “captains” of the boat who donate their time between June and September. “Captains are stringently trained in safe boat handling practices, many are trained in standard first aid and the boat is maintained and equipped with safety and emergency equipment in compliance with Transport Canada guidelines,” said Irwin. Each season, Heaven Can Wait makes more than 100 trips, uses at least 1,000 litres of fuel, puts in more than 350 volunteer hours and serves more than 600 guests. If you’d like to be a member of the society ($5 fee), volunteer to be a captain, make a donation or get more information, call president Ron Heuman at 250-558-1063.

Donation lifts school program Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Kids heading back to school in September are being given a boost to their day. The Vernon School District’s breakfast program recently received a $6,000 donation from Sun Life Financial advisor Ken Hewson, of Hewson Financial Services. The program offers healthy breakfast choices for students in need to help them focus on their studies and enhance their ability to learn. “The breakfast program meets children’s primary needs,” said Keith McLean, an aboriginal support worker who assists with the program. “It helps them prepare for class, settle and focus on their studies and to participate fully in the classroom.” After learning about the program and the local need, the donation was an easy decision for Hewson. “There’s kids that actually go to school without breakfast, I can’t believe it,” he said. Thanks to the donation, the program will be able to ensure kids don’t start their day hungry. “We can probably get 3,000 breakfasts out of $6,000,” said superintendent Joe Rogers.
Hot weather can help save money Morning Star Staff
Hot temperatures this summer might make you look for shade, but they also represent opportunities to saving money on your electricity at home. People use electricity differently, and if you are going on vacation or staying put this summer, here are some tips and annual savings to help keep out the heat and reduce your costs. n Before you leave for holiday, set outdoor energy-efficient lamps on timers if you use them for security purposes. n Unplug your electronics when you go out to save up to ten per cent on your bill. n Hang dry half of your laundry to save up to $50. n Shade your windows and block up to 65 per cent of the heat. n Take your cooking outside to reduce the use of your stove or oven. n Use a ceiling fan to lower the indoor temperature by up to ten per cent and conserve energy. n Take shorter, cooler showers by reducing your shower time by one minute and save $15 per person. n Unplug your second fridge and save $85.
We Believe in Supporting OUR Community! Ruth Edwards,

“VantageOne Credit Union began their partnership with Hospice in 1998. At that time, Hospice was raising capital funds to build Hospice House, and VantageOne Credit Union came forward with generous support. They still believe in Hospice and are among our strongest ambassadors. NOHS has a reciprocal partnership with Vantage One. As a customer of VantageOne, NOHS enjoys their exceptional customer service and their broad range of banking services which are provided with friendly, knowledgeable and experienced staff. VantageOne also partners with Hospice as a corporate sponsor of two fundraising events annually – the Hike
for Hospice and Dancing With Vernon Stars. These two major fundraising events are successful because they benefit from strong, consistent sponsorship from corporations such as VantageOne. VantageOne is a socially responsible corporate leader in the North Okanagan. Their commitment to the provision of quality end-of-life care at Hospice is a testament to their belief in strong, healthy communities.” Ruth Edwards, Executive Director, North Okanagan Hospice Society

Money raised locally has helped the Huntington Society of Canada (HSC) fund the early stage of a major Huntington disease (HD) breakthrough. The breakthrough is being called “the most critical time in the research process.” Dr. Ray Truant of McMaster University has solved a long-standing mystery in Huntington disease, the ability to examine how cells change shape in human Huntington’s patients. Research was done with money raised by Canadian volunteers. The Huntington Society of Canada Okanagan Chapter received $1,100 in donations from the Armstrong Shamrocks senior lacrosse team, and from Askew’s Foods for the recent sixth annual Run To Finish Huntington Disease in Vernon. With ongoing community support, run donations increased about $7,000 from 2012, with a 2013 run total of $19,239. “We are really excited about this research breakthrough and are hopeful for our family members and friends affected by Huntington disease,” said Laurie Williams with the Okanagan chapter. “This research finding was made possible by the ongoing support of our community, which we are very thankful for.”

Construction begins on new Armstrong park roger knox Morning Star Staff
Construction has started on Armstrong’s newest park. A phased construction approach is being taken on Huculak Park in the downtown core. “Work this year will include site grading, water supply and irrigation and partial trail construction,”
said Tim Perepolkin, the city’s public works manager. “Seeding will follow in the fall.” The park, located on Paterson, Okanagan and Willowdale avenues, is named after former resident Bernie Huculak, whose property was purchased by the city after his death. The Kindale Development
“We’ll go as far as we can get this year.” — Tim Perepolkin
Association donated a piece of their neighbouring property so a park could be built. Plans for the park were finalized in the fall of 2012.
The final design incorporates a boardwalk, riparian area along Meighan Creek, foothills, an orchard and a transition area into the fields.
Boards will be set up along the pathways that could be purchased by community residents or businesses, which would have their names inscribed on the boards. The boards could also house stories about Armstrong’s history. The park will have washroom facilities, drinking fountains and will be handi-
cap accessible. Seating will be arranged throughout the park, and there are several access points to the park. The implementation phase was included in the city’s 2013 budget. “We’ll go as far as we can get this year, and budget so much a year until the project is complete,” said Perepolkin.

More hair-raising acts have been added to the rooftop riot that is about to take place high above the Vernon Public Art Gallery Saturday. The fifth annual Riot on the Roof alternative arts event offers something new for its young audience and 2013 will be no different. Peter Downie and his crew at Chatters Salon will perform a live hair show, with extravagant styles, fashion and make-
up designs, while Vernon metal band Xul rages in the background. Downie is no stranger to Riot, participating in last year’s event with Mackenzie Jones Designs, but this year his artistic talents will take centre stage in a unique hair design show. Both Downie and Chatters’ employee Emily Jacob are Redken certified colourists who recently featured their award winning styles in the Vernon organized Rock ‘n Rococo Affair fashion show in Kelowna this past June. “We are really fortunate to have so many talented artists in the area, and Peter Downie’s talent is an example of how art can be expressed in our everyday lives,” said Jamie Friesen, VPAG youth ambassador.

A model from last year’s Riot on the Roof shows some of the eclectic art that will also be part of this year’s Riot, taking place Saturday atop the Vernon Parkade. “Whether it is fine art in a formal gallery setting or an expressive personal style, art is accessible to everyone and we are excited to see Chatters perform with a live hair show at Riot on the Roof.
And to see a show of this calibre, in an outdoor show at night, with a live metal band... it’s not your average evening in Vernon.” Also new this year is a chalk art contest for art-

Calgary rocker part of IPE music lineup Morning Star Staff
Calgary alternative blues/ rock musician Matt Blais is bringing his upcoming Western Canadian tour to Armstrong’s Interior Provincial Exhibition in support of his newly released album The Heartbeat. Gaining strong comparisons to artists such as Sam Roberts, Matt Mays and Joel Plaskett, Blais combines elements of fiery rock and roll with smooth vintage soul to form a sound uniquely his own. The combination of his high energy live show and a passion for songwriting has so far been well received by critics and the audiences that con-
tinue to grow in number. “I’ve missed being on the road. I like to think of myself as a musical troubadour, or some kind of old school minstrel,” said Blais. “The road is my home, especially the Canadian road. I don’t think there is a better time to tour Canada than in the fall, so I’m excited to take my music to any city that will have me.” Blais takes the stage at the IPE beer gardens in the Armstrong Curling Rink Aug. 30 and Aug. 31. Admission is 19-plus and admission is entry into the fairgrounds. Blais also returns to the North Okanagan Sept. 20 for a performance at The Green in the Village Green
Hotel. The IPE has two other music stages during the fair, which starts Wednesday and runs to Sunday, Sept. 1. Country and western artist Jack Jackson and his band are returning to the Ram Truck stage, which will also see daily performances by the likes of High Mileage, The Beat, Vernon’s Cod Gone Wild, Vancouver legend Jerry Doucette, Travis Fiello and the IPE-Sun FM Youth Talent Competition. Also performing are emerging artists on the Lee’s Music Emerging Stage. For a full schedule of events, MattBlaisMusic.coM visit www.armstrongipe.com/ Matt Blais gives a two-night schedules. performance at the IPE.
A dark, light, loud and quiet listen
T
the Civil Wars
he self-titled second album from Nashvillebased band The Civil Wars favours Southern Gothic songs and sounds. The alternative folk/country duo with a big vocal presence chooses dark themes touched with desperation and salvation. Joy Williams and John Paul White set up an enticing musical psychodrama with their call and response duetting (I Had Me a Girl). The Rick Rubin-produced song is a forceful mix up of dramatic vocals and hard driving acoustic, couched in a traditional backwoods lament. It’s topped off with a ragged fuzz tone for atmosphere. The album has an ancient/modern character: the songs are acoustic-driven performances and vocal playoffs embellished by strings, percussion
Street SoundS
Dean Gordon-Smith
and electric guitar with slide. The arrangements and themes are traditional and could fit in a Depression-era Bonnie and Clyde movie. Williams and White utilize their own version of the loud/quietloud/quiet grunge rock
delivery using mood instead of attack. It’s a dark/light-dark/light evocative effect; some of it a dreamy throwback. The album strikes a note of melancholy early on that holds until the end. Eavesdrop has this quality which is enhanced with a big crescendo. The shadowy backwoods spirit that rustles through the recording gets its release in Devil’s Backbone. Williams’ whispery vocal sounds like spooks wandering the hollows, conjuring up Southern hellfire and
hillbilly lust. Then it’s back to Bible thumping and some old time tent revival on From this Valley. The duo has a sweet tooth for cover songs and they take a left turn: Etta James’ Tell Mama gets a somber treatment and Smashing Pumpkins’
Disarm is given a subdued parlour-type performance. They’re original and curious but neither catches fire. But there’s enough drama here for an Italian opera, and undercurrents of unrest and earthy sentiments roll these potboilers along.

From brain injury to bliss Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
Michelle Desgagne had a good life. She had a job she loved in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, where she could commute by bicycle all year long. But life as she knew it took a disastrous turn one spring day in 2002, when she was hit by a car while riding her bike. “I liked my life and I don’t recall asking for a change, but I’m now an improved version of the original,” she said, laughing. Eleven years later, Desgagne is not the same person, but she is living proof that there is a way back from hopelessness and despair, that recovery from a brain injury is possible. The author of a self-published memoir, The Distracted Yogi: How I Reclaimed my Bliss After Brain Injury and Trauma, Desgagne is now living in Vernon and said her mission is to offer hope to others with a brain injury. “My message is from trauma to drama to transformation,” said Desgagne. “It’s a common theme in people’s lives, especially since trauma attracts drama because you’re vulnerable, you’re in a place where you’re not operating from the same functional standpoint.” She details, with sometimes painful honesty, her journey from that day 11 years ago to the present. The book’s first chapter illustrates how much her life has changed by comparing her goals the month before her accident, to those one month later: her original goal, “to climb Denali before the age of 45” was replaced with “to walk for at least five minutes.” For Desgagne, the accident was a shock to both body and soul. Up until then, she had maintained a routine of yoga, meditation, hiking and sports. “Friends and family would describe me then as honest, calm, patient, bright, witty, fun, energetic, fit and attractive and, at times, stubborn and opinionated. “This description of my former life is all that remains of it — actually, I continue to be stubborn and opinionated, just less so.” Desgagne had been commuting to work on her bike for nearly 10 years with no incident. The day she was hit, April 8, 2002, was a Sunday and she was simply out for a leisurely ride on her day off from

Michelle Desgagne has just published her first book, The Distracted Yogi: How I Reclaimed My Bliss After Brain Injury and Trauma. Telus, where she had started as an operator, before working her way up to cable splicer, a job she loved. Rehabilitation at G.F. Strong in Vancouver followed the accident, along with insurance claims, meetings with lawyers, medical appointments and simply coming to terms with her new life, particularly difficult when she had a hard time remembering the old one. “I didn’t really realize something was wrong at first, I just felt a little weird. But as time went on, there were things like forgetting that I had cats, or eating cookies all day.” Desgagne credits family, friends and members of her community for their support, but it wasn’t until she joined a trauma recovery group facilitated by psychologist J. Lynne Mann that her healing really began. “I became a member of ‘the walking wounded,’ and the group became my new social, emotional, mental and spiritual life raft.” Desgagne said recovery from brain
injury can’t begin until a process of grieving has taken place. “Not until you feel the grief are you alive.” She said a brain-injured person faces additional challenges because often they do not visibly appear to be injured: there is no wheel chair, no cane, no outward sign that here is someone who is disabled. At 52, Desgagne is what she calls officially retired and unable to return to the working world, but she is happy and at peace with her new life in Vernon, where she enjoys hiking in Kal Park. When she decided to put her journey into print, she started and finished her book in less than six weeks. “It came pouring out of me and because of this book I now have so much hope. And transformation is available to everyone. I want to get my message out and then give people the steps they need. “I believe forgiveness is key to moving on from anything, but it’s easier said than done.” Desgagne wants others with traumatic train injury to know that there is a strategy that can be used to work towards recovery, what she calls three mental and emotional stages. “Develop and feed your faith: reconnect with a church or spiritual group. Surround yourself with positive people. Challenge your belief about your recovery. The attitude has always been that after two years, you’ve received all of the recovery you’re going to get, but it’s really important that you challenge those beliefs. Take 100 per cent responsibility for your own recovery.” She offers a few action steps as well. “Make sure you get outside 20 minutes a day, 365 days a year. Read and listen to brain entrainment and binaural beats; keep a spiritual journal, and start feeling grateful for something.” Desgagne has begun work on her next book, The Reluctant Lesbian, and is also in the process of creating a series of how-to guides for women and girls, The Women’s Illustrated Guide to Power Tools and Their Uses, and The Girls Mini-Guide to Hand Tools & Their Uses. The Distracted Yogi is available through Amazon, in both print and e-reader version. Learn more about Desgagne at her Facebook page for The Distracted Yogi or on her blog, tdyogi.blogspot.ca

Life
Negotiating with noisy neighbours
D
ear Annie: My husband and I are teachers and are home most of the summer. Our next-door neighbors have two toddler boys and a couple of barking dogs. They are a nice family except for the continuous noise and chaos, which is especially noticeable in the summer when windows are open. We can’t enjoy coffee in the morning on our deck or a drink outside in the late afternoon. I realize that Kathy Mitchell & MarcySugar everyone has different parenting styles. Theirs seems to be the “anything goes, let them express themselves” method. I understand that small kids are noisy and throw tantrums. We raised two of our own. But when my kids had a tantrum, they were sent to their rooms until it ended. These kids scream and cry all day long. I honestly don’t know how they can stand it. At least we can shut the windows. Even my low-key husband is fed up. They rarely take the kids out in public, and I can understand why. Is there any recourse for us? I don’t mean to sound selfish, but is a little peace and quiet too much to ask for? — Venting in Oregon
annie's mailbox
Dear Oregon: We understand your frustrations, but you are making a lot of assumptions about these neighbors and their parenting style. It’s possible that their toddlers have developmental or physical issues that make it much more difficult to practise the kind of parenting you did. Why not approach them in a friendly way? Invite them for coffee. Say that the noise levels are rather distressing, and ask whether there is any way they could give you a respite for an hour or two each day. Another alternative is for you to close your windows, add fans, plant bushes, etc., etc. It’s not as ideal as having the neighbors be quieter, of course, but it might be the best you can do. Dear Annie: I recently went through gastric bypass surgery. I have arthritis, and when the weight is off, my knees and hips will be better, and I will have more energy. I’ve lost 75 pounds so far. My blood pressure has already dropped. These are all positive things, but thin people don’t realize how difficult it is to lose weight. They have no right to ask me, “How much do you want to lose?” or to tell me that if I only walked more, it would help. If I could walk more, I would, but my knees and hips prevent me from doing much of that.
I’ve been plagued with weight problems all of my life. Being overweight is a personal issue and not one I choose to share with everyone. Unsolicited advice is unwanted advice. — Simi Valley, Calif. Dear Simi Valley: People can’t help noticing that you’ve lost a great deal of weight, and some feel obligated to comment on it. The fact that they don’t know how to do so in a respectful way (“You look great!”) is annoying but common. Thank you for reminding folks to put their brains in gear before they open their mouths. Dear Annie: I had to respond to “N.D. Rose,” the 73-year-old who thought basic e-mail etiquette was too difficult to learn. That’s just an excuse for laziness. I’m 70 and have no problem using my computer effectively, but I had to make the effort to learn the necessary skills. I know a man who was in his 80s when he got his first computer, and he was soon e-mailing old friends all over the country without appearing to yell at them. Most communities with a senior centre or a library offer a variety of computer courses, free or low-cost. There are also online tutorials. Family members who are computer literate can also help. I get annoyed and discouraged when people my age reinforce the stereotype that we are too old to learn. Thanks for letting me rant. — Ontario, Calif.

“In the shadow of death.” Eccl. 9:7-10. Qoheleth has recorded his convictions on the state of the dead who perish and pass into oblivion in the grave. This is a depressing fact, but he quickly provides an antidote. Though death is the destiny of all flesh, yet man should not be despondent, brooding over what he cannot change; rather he should exact what joy he can from life in the blessings received: bread, wine, garments, wife, God has given these things to man that he might have some measure of happiness. 9:7

Pressure on for skills training
dvanced Education Minister Amrik Virk has offered some advice for students heading for post-secondary education this fall. In a commentary sent to B.C. newspapers, Virk reminded students that his task “is to ensure post-secondary students obtain the experience and qualifications needed to put a paycheque in their back pocket.” B.C. is forecast to have one million jobs to fill by 2020, through a combination of retirements and economic
growth. More than 40 per cent of them will require trades and technical training, and for students, likely a move north. “My advice to students is to look at where the jobs are based and tailor their education and training to match,” Virk wrote. “Our population is concentrated in the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island, but as a resource-based economy, many directly and indirectly related jobs
August 12 – september 22
sWipe dAily for A chAnce to instAntly Win
are located elsewhere.” That’s not the only blunt message for students deciding on a career. While defending his ministry’s spending plans in the recent legislature session, Virk described some of the problems that are entrenched. Parents, Tom Fletcher particularly in immigrant communities, push their children towards medicine, law, dentistry or engineering, he noted. Students themselves gravitate toward areas that are familiar to them, such as teaching. B.C. universities graduated 2,000 new teachers last year. Another 850 arrived from out of province and were licensed to teach in B.C. During the same year, the B.C. school system hired 800 teachers. And many of those jobs were outside metropolitan areas. It’s been hammered into us by the B.C. government’s endless “jobs plan” advertising, and a similar campaign by Ottawa, that more students need to focus on trades and resource industries.
B.C. Views
Virk acknowledges that his budget contains another $1 million for advertising, the same as last year, much of it to reinforce the need to fill skilled jobs. But he danced around the question of whether there will be spaces in technical programs. NDP critics say the waiting list for these kinds of programs at Kwantlen University and the B.C. Institute of Technology are running between a year and three years. And they have frequently noted that advanced education spending is budgeted to decline by $42 million over the next three years. Virk said postsecondary institutions working with industry have produced 456 additional seats in highdemand programs for this year. It’s a start. In July, Premier Christy Clark joined the chorus of premiers protesting Ottawa’s plan to claw back $300 million in federal training money to provinces, for its new employerdriven Canada Jobs Grant. Clark and New Brunswick Premier David Alward were assigned to find an alternative to this drastic shift and report back in
the fall. As usual, the NDP spent lots of time grilling Virk about student debt and the alleged need to reduce it. Ministry statistics show that about 30 per cent of students take out loans from the federal-provincial program, and the average is $20,000. One of the latest changes is a program of grants that go toward student debt as a reward for those who complete their chosen program. With 23,000 students collecting $41 million in grants, it might be working. For all the fuss about student debt, students pay only about a third of costs. The rest is on taxpayers, whether it produces any useful education or not. Virk is under instructions to review the student loan program, “to find further improvements to meet students’ needs.” Given the magnitude of the gap between what skills our education system produces and what the economy needs, a larger shift in priorities is needed.
