IPE a family affair JENNIFER SMITH

or Tammy Thielman, who started showing ponies at the fair when she was a little girl, and whose own daughter is now showing her ponies, the IPE is truly a family affair. “I’ve been coming here for years and years and years,” said Tammy, while getting her horse Spiderman’s feet shoed Wednesday for competition in the English division. “I grew up in Armstrong so we always came here with our ponies,” said the now Salmon Arm resident. Now her own daughter, Katie, is claiming ribbons with her own ponies at the Interior Provincial Exhibition, which runs through to Sunday in Armstrong. “The work just becomes fun,” said nine-year-old Katie, whose pony, Little Lady, earned fourth in junior showmanship. “The horses are my favourite part. I clean pens, feed and water them. “First ride they are usually just a bit looky but this has been a really good year.” And when the work and showing is all done for the day, Katie and her mom always make some time to take in the action at the fair with some of their favourite treats – horse blankets. “We get those and go watch the rodeo,” said Katie. Chris White and his family have also made the IPE a family tradition. Bringing the supply of cows calving as well as those for the milking demonstration, the White Grove Farm is a popular educational attraction. “We’ve been coming here for 12 plus years,” said White of Armstrong. “It’s kind of hard not to come to the fair.” As fun as the experience is, working the fair can also be a bit exhausting. “We were in the barns by 4 o’clock this morning because my daughter was also showing in
VERNON TOYOTA
the 4-H show,” said White, after waking from an afternoon siesta between the stables Wednesday. “This is more work than the farm at home it seems,” he laughed. Many local families rarely miss the chance to catch the fair. “Absolutely, every year,” said Vernon’s Reta Kutsche, with her three children and husband in tow. “We’ve been coming for the rides, petting zoo and to see the biggest pumpkin on and off for 10 years.” For one-year-old Soleil Muxlow, a Killiney Beach resident, the IPE is a new experience. But with all the sights, sounds and tastes, her mom and dad say it is becoming an annual tradition for their family. “There’s lots and lots to do and see, it’s great for the family,” said dad. Visit www.vernonmorningstar. com to catch a video of some of the sights and sounds of the fair.

Enthusiastic crowd flocks to IPE richard rolke Morning Star Staff
It may have been the calm before the storm, but opening day was still steady at the Interior Provincial Exhibition. A total of 15,921 people passed through the gate Wednesday. “It was a pretty typical day,” said Bryan Burns, general manager, adding that attendance for opening day in 2012 was 16,320. It’s anticipated that crowds will build over Bryan Burns the next few days as locals and visitors check out the action before the Armstrong fair wraps up Sunday. “Saturday is always our busiest day and Sunday and Friday jockey for second place,”
said Burns. Last year’s overall attendance was 150,170 and a similar crowd is anticipated for the five days this year. One challenge has been rain both Wednesday and Thursday. “We are an outdoor event but there are lots of barns and exhibits to explore,” said Burns, adding that the showers ended Wednesday morning and the blue sky returned. “It’s beautiful fair weather when it’s mild and not so hot.” While Wednesday was seniors day, there was a good mix of ages. “I saw a lot of families wandering around,” said Burns. Opening day also saw the release of 100 white doves to mark Armstrong’s centennial as a municipality. “It was very cool,” said Burns of the ceremony.
While many IPE traditions are in the same spot year after year, not everything is staying put. All horticulture, flower and craft exhibits are under the same roof at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. “There’s been some great feedback about this change,” said Burns. The Wrangler Rodeo Tour Finale also got off to a strong start Wednesday and it takes place every evening at 8 p.m. at the grandstand. “It’s great action under the lights. It’s very exciting to see,” said Burns. Access into downtown Armstrong will be very limited Saturday during the IPE parade, which starts at 10 a.m. Visitors and residents are asked to be in town before the road closures begin at 9:30 a.m. or to take alternate routes using Pleasant Valley, Otter Lake Cross or

Lansdowne roads. The viewing area for the parade is along Pleasant Valley Road beginning at Memorial Park to the corner of Smith Drive continuing on to Rosedale Avenue.

Action sought on Oyama signs richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Swift action is being demanded as Oyama businesses continue to be hurt by new traffic patterns. James Baker, Lake Country mayor, is upset the Ministry of Transportation has refused to install signs directing motorists on the new Highway 97 to Oyama or, at least, Oyama Road. “We thought the process was all in place and we would get Oyama exit signs,” he said. The conflict arises around ministry policy that says individual areas within municipalities will not be recognized on highway signs. In this case, Oyama is part of the District of
“We will take it to what ever level we need.” — James Baker
Lake Country. However, Baker points out that Oyama has been featured alongside Lake Country on highway signs for many years. “Oyama is an entity. They can put a sign up showing the Oyama exit,” he said, adding that his council will lobby the provincial government over the issue. “We will take it to what ever level we need to so we can get this done.”
Since the new highway opened Aug. 16, many Oyama businesses have seen revenue drop because motorists aren’t sure of how to access Oyama Road or the old highway, now known as Pelmewash Parkway. “It’s a brand new name and it doesn’t mean Oyama to anyone yet,” said Alan Gatzke, owner of Gatzke Orchards. “The day after the highway opening, business dropped like a
rock. During the first few days, typical sales dropped $4,000 a day. I can’t remember a time before when the parking lot was empty.” To try and improve motorist awareness, Gatzke placed a homemade sign at Crystal Waters Road Sunday. “Business has come up a bit,” he said. Cory Holland, owner of the Oyama General Store, also agrees that signage needs to be improved. “When you are in Vancouver or Calgary, they refer to different areas by name on signs,” he said. But while concerned about the current situation, Holland says he is optimistic that the new highway will ultimately
benefit the community. “When I came through into the clearing and saw Oyama, my wife and I were high-fiving each other. Commuters can see more of Oyama,” he said of the high-elevation views. A Ministry of Transportation official is expected to meet with Gatzke Sept. 4 and Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick has also been made aware of the local concerns.
Meat processing is moving ahead, but local politicians insist it’s not enough. Small-scale meat producers in the Regional District of North Okanagan can now apply for one of five class E licenses to sell meat at the farm gate. However, RDNO chairperson Patrick Nicol insists the provincial program does little to help the hundreds of producers who have been struggling since a ban on farm gate sales was launched in 2007. “We have encouraged an increase in the numbers (from five),” he said. “There needs to be a close examination of this.” The five licences are part of a pilot project
“We have encouraged an increase.” — Patrick Nicol
that allows applications from producers that are normally ineligible because they fall within a two-hour travel distance of a provincially licensed abattoir. Local farmers say access to abattoirs has been challenging and
many weren’t willing to transport their animals long distances. Despite his concerns about the government program, Nicol believes five licenses is better than the outright ban before. “Progress happens

Authorities are seeking public assistance after another suspicious fire in Vernon. Firefighters responded to a recycling bin fire Tuesday at 11:30 p.m. in the 4550 block of 31st Street. “We are concerned that an individual or individuals are putting the safety of residents at risk,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. In mid-July, there were four incidents of recycling bins or items next to dumpsters being set on fire in the area of 27th Street and 45th Avenue. Molendyk isn’t sure if the latest incident is linked to the arsons in July. “We have no idea but it’s coincidental that it’s at the same time of night and the same kind of thing,” he said. Molendyk does not believe there is a connection between Tuesday’s fire and a blaze at a homeless camp along the 31st Street railway tracks Sunday. “They are two totally different kinds of fire. They occurred at different times of the day,” he said. Anyone with information about Tuesday’s dumpster fire is asked to call the Vernon RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

Liberals top spending in Shuswap election tracy hughes Black Press
Liberal Greg Kyllo spent more on his election campaign than Premier Christy Clark — if you only count her first campaign for Vancouver Point Grey. Kyllo spent a total of $113,280 on his successful effort to become MLA for the Shuswap according to documents released by Elections B.C. Premier Christy Clark spent a total of $108,765 on her unsuccessful bid for the riding of Vancouver-Point Grey. Election spending for the candidates in the Shuswap also mirrored the eventual results. The more a candidate spent on the campaign, the better their ranking in the polls. The NDP’s Steve Gunner spent a total of $36,495 on the campaign, BC Conservative Tom Birch spent $12,892, BC Green Party’s Chris George spent $9,354 and Johanna Zalcik of the Advocational Party spent $1,096. To fund his campaign, Kyllo had $34,734 contributed from all sources and $82,763 transferred directly from the B.C. Liberal Party. Gunner had a total of $4,800 in contributions, while $32,668 was transferred to his campaign from the B.C. NDP and the Shuswap B.C. NDP Constituency Association. B.C. Conservative Tom Birch received contributions of $6,985 from the B.C. Conservative Party and the B.C. Conservative Party Shuswap Association, while he
self-funded $4,290 and had donations for the
remainder. George also self-
funded a significant portion of his campaign
at $3,022. The remainder was funded through
donations or local fundraisers.
Zalcik’s spending was all self-funded.

Finding hope, and help
t seems these days everyone is so hyperfocused on work/business and getting all those seemingly ‘important’ things done that they forget to appreciate the things that truly matter. It all only comes into perspective when a loved one is battling a frightening disease (and only for those who allow themselves to come to that realization - anyone who has gone through it knows that everyone deals with it differently and some try to ignore the facts out of fear). Yes, we all have to work to pay the bills, to keep business rolling and keep customers happy Jennifer Smith (and these days it seems everyone is working harder than ever for less, when you consider the rising cost of living). And yes the chores at home need to be done, errands need to be run and routines need to be in place (particularly when there are little ones involved). But there comes a point in life when you have to stop and realize that work is only a slice of life, it’s not the entire pie. Do your best to get the day’s tasks done but don’t work yourself to the bone. The laundry can wait and don’t worry about what your neighbours think if your yard is starting to look a little wild. We all need to take a little more time to enjoy the pleasures in life. In particular, those who bring us pleasure – because you never know when their time could be up. So when a sudden illness plagues a loved one, you would think that there would be support for the ones suffering and the caregivers. But there are so many cracks that people fall through and even more disturbing is that the pre-requisite for most assistance is seemingly a death sentence. No help until it’s too late. It seems very backwards to me. Wouldn’t you want to have the time and resources to spend with a loved one while they can still enjoy it? And maybe, just maybe, the love and joy you spread unto them will give them the

It’s also very sad that those who have owned their own business and who have become ill and are suddenly unable to work, have no assistance. Now certainly there a lot of people out there on EI and using other benefit programs justifiably. But some might say there are also a number of people who are simply using, and abusing, the system while those who truly need it are denied. It’s a sad state of affairs. I don’t have a grand solution as the EI system tries to effectively filter out those who don’t qualify. But it also seems those who need it most are unfortunately often turned down. It’s not just income assistance, it’s all those costs that add up for someone who is ill. It’s not as if the rent, Hydro, gas, TV or internet bills pay themselves. The fridge doesn’t fill itself with groceries. There’s some assistance with Pharmacare for the endless medical costs, but the most necessary medications are often not covered. And when the wait to see the doctors is too long to bear (as they too are all swamped with work), one can seek alternative treatment, but there is usually no coverage for such costly choices. Then there is the endless list of chores around the house that can’t be completed by someone who hardly has the energy to walk to the kitchen. All of this only compounds the stress that an ill person already faces as they struggle with the mental burden of being sick in the first place. There is also supposedly help for those caring for an ill relative. But it basically takes going bankrupt, losing your job and having a date of expected death before any of that can come into effect. Even then, by the time any assistance kicks in, it’s likely literally too late. What you can find however, is there is often an immense wealth of support through friends, family, co-workers and even an employer. For that, one is tremendously blessed!
The provincial government always insists it is pro-business and red tape has been cut to help entrepreneurs. But you sure wouldn’t know it in Oyama. The Ministry of Transportation claims it cannot name Oyama on signs along the new Highway 97 because Oyama is not a distinct community and is part of the District of Lake Country. But this narrow definition of a community has Oyama merchants paying the price. Shortly after the new highway opened and traffic patterns shifted, customers evaporated at Gatzke Orchards and revenue of about $4,000 a day was lost. Other merchants have also been impacted and tourists stopping at the municipality’s tourist information centre are down to a trickle. What ministry officials need to understand that is that while Oyama is part of Lake Country, it has a distinct identity and has been around for more than a century. Unlike other neighbourhoods, Oyama has always been right along the highway and that is where businesses have been established. Renaming the old highway Pelmewash Parkway and putting up a sign for it is fine, but no one associates that name with Oyama. All it has done is create confusion and many motorists drive right past Oyama without even knowing it. Lake Country officials are demanding something be done. “They can put a sign up showing the Oyama exit,” said Mayor James Baker. And that’s how simple the solution would be — a sign pointing to Oyama or at least referencing Oyama Road. The provincial government needs to act quickly to correct this bureaucratic run-around.

Great idea The Armstrong-Spallumcheen Arts Council Society (SPARC) has come up with a new fundraising concept for its art auction that supports two worthy causes at the same time. Whereas most fundraising groups ask artists to donate their art work outright with no return to the artist, SPARC has put forth a new structure. This structure is a win-win scenario where all parties benefit. What a great solution. SPARC recently asked me to donate a painting for its July 6 fundraiser. Surprisingly, I was also offered a stipend to cover my material costs of paint and canvas plus a percentage of the auction price. The other percentage from the auction goes to SPARC. I was very impressed with this brilliant concept and feel it is a great way to raise funds through art. Artists are often in the lower-income bracket. This kind of structure not only helps the worthy cause but also helps artists, another worthy cause. Supporting artists enriches culture

Thanks to a caring community
ur journey began Feb. 25 this year when our son Caleb was diagnosed with atypical pneumonia. We stayed for a week in Vernon Jubilee Hospital and were very well cared for by the nursing staff and doctors. We were sent home at the end of the week and here is where we thought our story would end. Unfortunately, Caleb did not get better. The antibiotics we were sent home with did not finish off the pneumonia. We were back in the ER three times that week. This pneumonia was stumping everyone. We got an early appointment with the respirology team at B.C. Children's Hospital. We arrived in Vancouver March 14 and there we received the diagnosis of massive tumor where Caleb's left lung should be. This is where our story really starts. The compassion, support, and love that has poured out of Vernon and down to Vancouver has been

overwhelming. It began during our first week in Vancouver as we waited on pins and needles, wondering what our diagnosis would be and if Caleb had cancer. That support continues today. Caleb received a diagnosis of pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB), an aggressive form of childhood lung cancer. There are only 300 cases that have been diagnosed in the world to date. This diagnosis rocked our quiet life and suddenly we were plunged
into the world of oncology. We now have a new vocabulary and are learning more everyday. We have learned about all the names you can have for vomit, that a three-year-old can develop gall stones and that no matter how much you love your child, you can not protect them from cancer. But the best thing we have learned is about the generosity of friends and strangers. We want to send a thank you out to those individuals who
which supports communities. Giving altruistically really means giving at your own expense. "To help, serve or benefit others, if necessary, at the sacrifice of self-interest," says Wikipedia. Many times artists are told that donating to the cause will bring us new customers, but this is seldom the case. Often the auctioned art work is sold at a lower price, further devaluing the art work in the process. Furthermore, the rules regarding tax deductible receipts have changed so that artists do not benefit tax wise either. Because of this, many artists are becoming more and more reluctant to donate their work outright, no matter how worthy the cause. SPARC's new fundraising structure allows artists to continue to donate and support their community and the same time, what a wonderful way for the community to support their artists. I highly recommend other worthy causes to take up this new brilliant win-win fundraising structure for their future art auctions.
Thanks SPARC for sparking a new fundraising paradigm. roxi Sim Hermsen

Good deed I was at our local Vernon Walmart Aug. 18 with my daughter Jessie and the line-ups to pay were long. We had a full cart and as I was unloading, I noticed a young man behind us holding five small freezer packs. I told Jessie to approach the young guy and tell him to go in front of us. Jess couldn't understand why we should let someone take our place so I went up to him and said please go ahead of us. He smiled, thanked me, paid for his $6 purchase and left. When I reached the cashier, she looked puzzled and asked if I was with the young guy that just left. "No," I said. "Do you know him?" she asked "No," I replied. Well she smiled and said, "He just left you a $50 gift card to put towards your purchase." I could not believe it and either
have donated time and money to fundraising efforts for our family. The employees and the families at Epicor (formerly known as Progressive Solutions) and the North Okanagan Childcare Society have our heartfelt thanks. Also, we have heard that there are several businesses that have donated services to assist in fundraising efforts. We send our thanks. The support from the Vernon community has been overwhelming and generous. We felt very new to the community, having only relocated here in May 2012. But, now we feel that when we bring Caleb back to Vernon, we will be coming home. Caleb currently is doing really well. He is a three-year-old who loves monster trucks, Thomas the Tank Engine and Hot Wheels cars. He had a pneunomectomy (removal of his left lung) June 12, four days before his third birthday. Except for his bald head and missing eyelashes and eyebrows, you could Jessie. I looked at the older gentleman behind me and saw he had a few purchases so I quietly put down a $20 for his purchase. Young man, you made my day. Thank you and good karma is coming your way. debbie Preston traffic miSSeS oyama It’s too bad that Gatzke Orchards and other Oyama businesses have been the first victims of the new highway to Winfield. But it might have helped if Lake Country had renamed the old highway along the lake something other than the Pelmewash Parkway, which will mean little if anything to the visitors the area hopes to attract. And the lack of signage is certainly a problem as, despite knowing the area, I missed the turnoff to my home the day the new highway opened. Perhaps something more descriptive, such as Oyama’s Orchard Way, would encourage visitors. tish Woodley
would never know how cancer has ravaged his little body. It is because of the support of the Vernon community that Jay and I have been able to focus on helping Caleb get better rather than worrying about how we are going to cover expenses for our residence in Vernon and our expenses for our ongoing stay in Vancouver. We are travelling between Vancouver and Vernon for the next six to nine months as Caleb finishes up his final six rounds of chemo under the excellent care of the oncology nurses and doctors at BCCH, especially Dr. Shelia Pritchard and Dr. Melissa Harvey. We wanted the Vernon community to know how much we appreciate its support and continued good wishes. We are looking forward to bringing our little man home for good. Kristi, Jason and caleb Gozjolko

cal improvements. The aging packinghouse in Winfield was a prime example. But Tyabji said this investment will bring the industry onto equal footing with Washington State and allow Okanagan apples to better compete in the market-place. “The growers in our cooperative and our farmers want to thank both levels of government for this investment,” he said. “With this change we are now capable of matching Washington packing costs. We weren’t able to do that before but we are now.” The investment was made under the federal and provincial Tree Fruit Market and Infrastructure Initiative and comes on the heels of a $5 million funding announcement in 2010 and a further $2.7 million last year that was aimed at streamlining and improving operations at the facility. “There is great competition to the south of us and around the world,” said KelownaLake Country MP Ron Cannan. “But we have some great farmers in our province and we want to help them out.” The investment by government is part of a broader strategy that is aimed at improving operations in the B.C. Tree Fruits Cooperative. “This investment in new technology will lower operating costs and lead to high-quality tree fruits for consumers,” said Gerry Ritz, federal agriculture minster. “It will also ensure our tree fruit producers can meet market demands and remain competitive in the global marketplace.”

Larger area for Westside fire crew richard rolke Morning Star Staff
North Westside firefighters have more territory to cover. The Regional District of Central Okanagan board has agreed to extend the North Westside fire protection boundary to include 190 hectares. “It’s within the eight kilometre distance from the Shorts Creek fire hall,” said director Jim Edgson of the property which six kilometres south of La Casa on Westside Road. “We have the equipment to handle it and once the boat house is completed this fall, we will be able to use that equipment (fire boat) too.” RDCO directors made the decision to extend the boundary after a request was received from the land owner. The property consists of a home and some ancillary buildings, and Edgson says there are no development plans. The boundary extension includes a financial arrangement to cover the cost of fire protection. “He (owner) contributed already ahead of time and will also be taxed at the same rate as everyone else,” said Edgson. The current annual operation and maintenance costs for the North Westside Fire Department are $80.35 per year for $100,000 of assessed value. RDCO’s bylaw authorizes a maximum of up to $135 per $100,000 assessment per year.

Health care professionals insist there must be more done to ensure safety in care homes. During a stop in Vernon Tuesday, B.C. Nurses Union president Debra McPherson indicated a concern about security for residents and staff at long-term care and mental health facilities. “There’s an increasing number of aggressive clients and that’s posing a real challenge because staffing levels are often very low,” she said. An 85-year-old man died at Vernon Jubilee Hospital’s Polson dementia unit Aug. 18. A 95-yearold man, who has been charged with murder, has been transferred to a psychiatric facility for an assessment. McPherson says she will discuss safety procedures with Health Minister Terry Lake during a meeting Sept. 4. She also believes there needs to be increased awareness among families about the environment their loved ones live in. “People need to ask what kind of staff the facility has and what kind of security there is,” she said. While here, McPherson discussed
“There is an increasing number of aggressive clients.”
— Debra McPherson a number of issues with BCNU members, including staffing at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “Vernon has been on average, 30 per cent over capacity for many years,” she said. “They (nurses) are just tired and worn out and angry the government is not living up to its end of bargaining.” McPherson says the BCNU agreed to a longer work week in the last contract in return for an additional 2,000 positions across the province. “They have not done that,” she said of the government. Besides VJH, McPherson visited members at community care and the health unit. “I hear their concerns and see their workplaces. It gives me context for discussions,” she said.

Vernon residents are being alerted to a pending change in the traffic flow. The area of 8800 Adventure Bay Road will be one lane from Tuesday to Oct. 25 due to the installation of a sewer lift station near the roadway.
Flagging service will be provided when the contractor is working on the road. “The construction will mostly affect local traffic and this is a low volume road,” said Michael Klymchyk, the city’s municipal development technician.

Markets get web funding

Morning Star Staff
The B.C. Association of Farmers Markets is targeting new customers who want fresh, nutritious and local food through $85,000 in funding from the province’s Buy Local program. The campaign will take place across B.C. in the 2014 summer market season and will engage all of the association’s 100 member markets, including Vernon and Armstrong. “This Buy Local funding will help BCAFM introduce even more people to the diverse range of locally grown agrifoods products we have here in B.C.,” said Agriculture Pat Pimm Minister Pat Pimm. “Their use of social media will encourage a whole different crowd to shop at our farmers’ markets, which in-turn puts money into the pockets of local farmers.” The campaign will use social media tools including Facebook and Twitter in combination with media ads and online incentives and contests to raise awareness of local farmers’ markets across B.C. A video will also be produced for placement on the BCAFM and market websites. “A campaign of this magnitude is a dream come true for farmers’ markets and local farmers,” said Elizabeth Quinn, B.C. Association of Farmers Markets, executive director. “Coupled with other agri-industry buy local funding totalling nearly $4 million this year, the campaign will be a huge boost to meet consumer demand for healthy B.C.-grown food, strengthen local economies and support farmers throughout the province.” B.C. farmers markets contributed $170 million in economic benefits in 2012, a 146 per cent increase from 2006.

New bridge planned for Highway 97A lachlan labere Black Press
The B.C. government has finally agreed to give Swansea Point residents what they have been calling for since last summer’s devastating flooding from Hummingbird Creek. On Tuesday, Transportation Minister Todd Stone announced the province will be committing $3 million to the construction of a new bridge next year
along the creek Highway 97A. Stone made announcement while standing next to the existing culvert beneath the highway which rapidly clogged during last year’s flooding, sending water and debris over highway and into
over
dential areas in Swansea Point. the Following the flood event, the province contracted the firm Golder and Associates to assess the creek and provide recomTodd Stone m e n d at i o n s for remedial work. Stone the said Golder’s report is resi- now public, and that it
identifies the culvert as not meeting ministry requirements for flow capacity. “So today, along with colleague Greg Kyllo, MLA for Shuswap, I’m pleased to announce the government is remedying the situation; we are going to construct a new, clear-span bridge on Highway 97A over Hummingbird Creek,” said Stone. “This bridge will replace the existing cul-
vert right behind me here. It will result in a higher level of dependability. “The structure will also increase capacity for Hummingbird Creek and will reduce the chance of a blockage like all of you experienced last year, thus ensuring that Highway 97A remains open for Shuswap residents and tourists as well.” In addition, Stone said the ministry will be

doing additional work in the creek to further improve stream flows. “Some of the gravel bed load will be removed from the creek near the outlet into Mara Lake. About 120 metres of creek bank adjacent to Hummingbird Creek Resort will also be strengthened,” said Stone, noting the work will be on top of the $565,000-worth of stream improvements already completed in the creek since last year. Both works were applauded by locals gathered for the announcement. A number of them had attended a public meeting earlier this year, hosted by the ministry. At that meeting, Ministry of Transportation district manager Murray Tekano went over remedial work proposed for the creek which did not include what locals wanted most: a bridge or, at the least, a larger culvert. Since then, the Swansea Point C o m m u n i t y Association, through a Freedom of Information request, was able to acquire a 2003 report conducted by the province following the 1997 debris flow in Hummingbird Creek. In addition to a bridge that was proposed by the province but never built, the report recommends a 150,000-cubic metre debris berm with associated outlets and a retaining wall as the best option for mitigating future flood events. The report also states the frequency of debris flows is expected to increase, and that by completing the above option, with bridge, the province would reduce the risk to life by 75 per cent. Stone said the 2003 report looked at the circumstance of the day, and that since then a lot of work has been done on the creek. Stone says a bridge design is in the works and that he expects construction will be completed next year.

can always tell when it’s campfire season in Vernon by the smoke in the air and complaints that come into the fire hall. Personally, I love a good campfire, but for me it needs to be connected with getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life. In fact, I have actually read somewhere that campfires are an absolute necessity if you intend to enjoy the full experience of camping in the great outdoors. However, I must admit that I haven’t really ever understood the rationale of Lawrie Skolrood having one in my backyard. Even though I have a pretty big backyard, it still doesn’t diminish my fear of setting my house and or the neighbour’s house on fire. After all, does anyone really know where

those little sparks go when they leave a campfire? Much like the necessity of having candles in my home; the risk definitely outweighs the gain and smoking up the neighbourhood and making more enemies than I already have, just doesn’t seem very appealing. Now please, before you start calling me on how important it is for you to enjoy the ambience of a campfire in your backyard or on your beachfront and where do I get off saying any different, I want to emphasize that I respect your choice. It just isn’t for me. It is, however, important to understand that having a campfire in the city comes with the responsibility of having them safely and considerately. The one important issue that people tend to overlook is that even if they are having the campfire on their property, they usually live close enough that it involves their neighbours as well. Believe me there is nothing like the discomfort of smoke or the fear of losing their home to get people extremely excited about what is happening on the other side of the fence. Forget the loud and proud partying that can test neighbourly spirit all on its own, if you smoke or burn up their stuff, things are really going to get ugly fast. This unfortunately is generally the time when bylaw officers, the fire department, the RCMP and lawyers get involved and please believe me when I say, “At this point, it is never a great experience for anyone.” My best advice for those adventurous types interested in navigating around the potential problems that the splendor of open flames in their backyard can bring is to just be neighbourly and discuss your intent with the people that are most likely to be affected. I highly recommend this because the City of Vernon has bylaws which protect its citizens from nuisance smoke as well as the threat of their property being burned up. Here are some of the important rules that you are required to follow when enjoying a campfire or outdoor fireplace fueled by seasoned wood, charcoal briquettes, propane or natural gas in the City of Vernon. 1. A competent person must be placed in charge of the fire and must keep it under control at all times until it is completely extinguished. That person must have sufficient resources to prevent the fire from causing damage or becoming hazardous and dangerous to life and property. 2. Campfires and outdoor fireplaces must be situated not less than five metres (15 feet) from any combustibles including but not limited to buildings, sheds, grassy fields and property lines. 3. Campfires must be contained and maintained in a manner that will prevent any fire from escaping or growing bigger than 1 meter in size. 4. No person shall light a campfire or outdoor fireplace, or permit a campfire or outdoor fireplace to burn when the air quality index is less than 35 or the ventilation index is greater than 65. 5. No person may set out, start or kindle a fire that emits opaque smoke or dense smoke, or noxious odours. 6. No person, including a person to whom a special burning permit has been issued shall burn any prohibited material as outlined on schedule A of Vernon’s fire prevention bylaw. 7. No person may start a fire if wind and weather are such that to do so is likely to be hazardous or when banned under provincial regulation. 8. An inspector may order the extinguishing of any fire producing smoke in violation of the City of Vernon’s good neighbour bylaw. 9. The fire chief may take any action to ban, extinguish or require extinguishment of any burning that the fire chief considers hazardous. Lawrie Skolrood is a deputy fire chief at Vernon Fire Rescue Services.

McOnie pushed in pentathlon Graeme Corbett Morning Star Staff
Armstrong’s Rebecca McOnie was always been savvy in the saddle. Now she’s good at five sports, all rolled into one. McOnie, who started as a youngster with the Armstrong Pony Club, recently placed sixth in the women’s open division at the Canadian Modern Pentathlon Championships in Calgary. The one-day event, which features fencing, swimming, show-jumping and a final combined event of shooting and cross-country running, has been an Olympic sport since 1912. “It’s exhausting by the end of the day,” said McOnie, 22. “You feel wiped out.” McOnie said Pony Club acts as a feeder system for pentathlon through its heptathlon program, which is basically pentathlon without the fencing. “I really started pentathlon through riding; it’s my favourite sport,” said McOnie, who competed in her first nationals in 2008. While the sports that make up modern pentathlon appear to have nothing in common, there is a connection. Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympics, chose the events to reflect the attributes of a Napoleonic officer. According to Pentathlon Canada, those traits include: fitness (running and swimming); control and concentration (shooting); agility and speed (fencing); and determination, adaptability and courage (riding and jumping on an unfamiliar horse). “It’s based on military tradition,” said McOnie. “That’s the common thread, kind of the idea of the ideal solider. “In our modern day it seems a little ridiculous, but it is pretty entertaining when it all comes together.” Even with her background in horsemanship, McOnie said there is a leveling factor in that competitors choose their horse through a lottery. Once selected, horse and rider go on a 20-minute speed date, with a maximum of five practice jumps, before performing a scored round. “There’s so much unknown to the riding in pentathlon because you draw a horse,” said McOnie. “You never really know what you’re going to end up with. “The organizing committees try hard to find horses that are reliable. They’re definitely capable of the jump heights.” The other disciplines have each presented their unique challenges for McOnie, the 200-metre freestyle swim being her weakest event. “Although I grew up swimming leisurely, I didn’t grow up in a really competitive swim background,” said McOnie,

Carmel, Ont. won gold. “That’s been the learning curve, trying to bring down my swim time.” Conversely, McOnie appears to be a natural at fencing. “In high school, I did a lot of dance so the rhythm and footwork of dance have really followed through to fencing quite well. I have really grown to love fencing.” In the combined shooting/running event, athletes shoot with 0.177-calibre air pistol at five targets 10 metres away, and then run 800 metres. This is repeated four times. McOnie is entering her freshman year at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, which is part of the University of Saskatchewan. Her studies won’t leave her much time to train for pentathlon, but she intends to continue the sport on a recreational level. “When I get a bit more time, I’d like to try to be more competitive,” she said.

Vernon Vipers narrowing in on final 22-man roster Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Vipers have two more games and two more cuts to finalize their roster for the coming B.C. Hockey League season. Vernon head coach/GM Jason Williamson trimmed his roster to 24 players following the Vipers’ 3-1 exhibition win over the Prince George Spruce Kings Wednesday night at 100 Mile House. He released goaltenders Harrison Whitlock and Gunnar Neilson, along with 1996-born defenceman Matt Halvorson, who played last season with the Vernon Midget Tier 1 Vipers. Todosychuk Halvorson is expected to join the North Okanagan Junior B Knights, who relied on him as a call-up throughout their run to the KIJHL final last year. With two goalies, seven d-men and 15 forwards remaining at camp, Williamson will have to make two more cuts up front. He will further evaluate his players tonight as the Vipers entertain the West Kelowna Warriors in the first game of a home-and-home set. The Snakes wrap up the
preseason Saturday at Royal LePage Place. Vernon begins the regular season at the second annual BCHL Showcase Tournament at Prospera Centre in Chilliwack. The Snakes battle the defending Fred Page Cup champion Surrey Eagles on Saturday, Sept. 7 (11:30 a.m.), followed by the Chilliwack Chiefs on Sunday, Sept. 8 (6 p.m.). “I’ve got some tough decisions to make,” said Williamson, who is impressed with how the team has come together so far in the preseason. “Our dee was good. Simple. Our forwards were physical. We were good pretty much from start to finish.” He also praised netminder Danny Todosychuk, who made his preseason debut in 100 Mile House after missing the last week to a muscle tweak. “He played well for not playing in a while. He made some unbelievable saves. He looked like a veteran in there.” Williamson noted 20-year-old netminder Austin Smith, who is also nursing a muscle pull, is close to returning to action. “He’s been on the ice and skating,” said Williamson. “He did good work over the summer and from what we did see, it’s standard Smitty.”
Tyler Povelovskie, playing close to his native Williams Lake, tipped a Mark Hamilton point shot to open Vernon’s account midway through the first period. Matty Saharchuk made it 2-0 before the intermission as he one-timed a gorgeous saucer pass courtesy of Michael McNicholas. D-man Jason Bird earned his second assist of the night as he set up forward Mike Iovanna down low on a second-period powerplay. With space to move, Iovanna walked in on net and beat Alex Murray high, gloveside, with a backhand. Justin Rai answered for the Spruce Kings in the third period, assisted by Caleb Thompson and Chad Staley. The Vipers’ Dexter Dancs scrapped Lucas Formica in a long, spirited fight in the second period. Meanwhile, the Vipers and Save-On-Foods are hosting a tailgate party barbecue in the Kal Tire Place parking lot before tonight’s game. The fan appreciation event starts at 4:30 p.m. and will include entertainment by Kiss-FM, an inflatable bouncy castle and a meet-and-greet with the Vipers. The host RBC Cup committee will also be on hand to promote the 2014 national junior A hockey championship being held in Vernon next May.

The professional relationship that began more than a decade ago between Ryan Huska and the Kelowna Rockets is far from over. The Western Hockey League club this week signed the 38-year-old head coach to a threeyear contract extension, potentially keeping Huska on board through to the end of the 2016-17 season. “We’re thrilled to have Ryan signed longterm,” said Rockets’ president and GM Bruce Hamilton. “We understand and we encourage his goals to move along and advance his career. This ensures that he’s going to be in Kelowna as long as he’s coaching in the WHL.” Huska joined the Rockets in 2002-03 as an assistant coach. “I feel like this is a wonderful place to work, to work with the people that we have here is second to none,” said Huska. “I think the WHL, and our team in particular, is a great place to learn and improve as a coach. Even after this long, you learn something every night.” After spending six seasons as an assistant coach and helping the Rockets to a Memorial Cup title in 2004, Huska took over the head coaching duties for the 2007-08 season. Kelowna hosts Kamloops tonight.

Lee pulls three-peat
Sports
Morning Star Staff
Steven Lee of Kelowna claimed his third consecutive Maple Leaf Tour Prodigy Series junior boys title Tuesday at Predator Ridge Golf Resort. Lee, 18, opened with a 68 and followed with a 77 Tuesday to hold off 17-year-olds Matthew McEachran-Law of Vernon and Nick Krystal of Port Moody by one stroke. McEachran Law carded 74-72, while Krystal went 73-73. There was a field of 33 juniors. “My highlight would be two-putting from a long way down the hill on 18,” said Lee. “The greens were super fast, the pins impossible. Honestly, the win feels surprising considering my back nine.” Chris McEachran-Law of Vernon, 19, finished in a three-way share of fourth place at 71-76, while Vernon’s Alex Kreutz, 18, counted 80-80 and Bryce McLean of Armstrong, 18, shot 82-81. Russell Day, 17, produced 83-81, while Brett Hantiuk-Zalapski, 18, garnered 104-92 to round out the Vernon junior entries. Chris McEachran-Law also won Sundog Eyewear in the Closest-to-the-Pin contest, while Hantiuk-Zalapski and Brandon Chai, 13, of Vernon earned Golf Town Comeback Awards for best second-day improvement. Chai shot 89-79 in the bantam category. Winner in the juvenile boys division of the Boston Pizza-presented Tour was Adam Veenstra, 15, of Smithers. He finished at 70-73. “My personal highlight was making eagle on hole 14,” said Veenstra. “The course was in mint condition. I wasn’t really thinking about winning coming down the stretch – my group was great and kept me relaxed. It is my first MJT win so it feels awesome.” Runner-up in the division was Brandon McManus, 15, of Surrey, who shot 72-77, edging out Devin Kelly, of White Rock (77-73). Austin Bosquet of Vernon placed fourth at 78-75, while Matthew Kreutz of Vernon shot 82-76 for a three-way split of fifth spot. Andrew Spalti of Vancouver, who closed with a sizzling 67 after an opening 78, took the bantam boys (14 and under) crown. “I just made tons of putts,” said Spalti. “It’s a reassurance (to win) and gives me the confidence to keep playing golf.” Runner-up was first-round leader Kristian Oppenheim, 13, of Kelowna, who shot 74-77. Third place went to Mitchell Thiessen, 14, of Chilliwack,(75-79). Mac Gourdine, 14, of Vernon went 78-83 for seventh place, while Chai and Dexter Weiten, 13,

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You’re in a cycle of quickly shifting trends, so embrace change and accept the inevitable. Sometimes a push is required to get moving in a direction better suited to your needs. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Step back and re-evaluate a relationship with a person who is trying to coerce you into something you don’t want to do. Your time is better spent with people who have your best interest at heart. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Get your facts and figures from a reliable source. Deals can be made and improvements to your living arrangements or surroundings begun. Do your own thing and avoid meddlers. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Emotions that you or another has been trying to tamp down will surface. You need to deal with potentially messy relationship issues with calmness and grace. Make adjustments to your work methods to ensure security. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Let the past be your teacher in terms of your financial security. Something you learned long ago can be used to open up a new income channel. Be innovative, take charge and move forward. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) It’s a good day to wheel and deal, draw up contracts, push your ideas and form partnerships that will ensure that you reach your goals. Live fully -- the sky is the limit. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Take advantage of your many options, but don’t exceed your boundaries. There will be a fine line between success
and failure. Make your choice based on what you know, not what you assume. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Share information and do your best to help others. Your contribution will raise your profile and bring interesting people into your life. Partnerships and proposals look to be quite profitable. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Listen carefully and size up the situation before sharing your thoughts on a work matter. Someone is likely to use your words against you, so don’t give them much to work with. Romance will turn your evening into an adventure.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder MAKE THE BEST OF AWKWARD HAND Daniel Radcliffe, who became famous playing Harry Potter, said, “I think any guy who says, ‘I’ve never had an awkward moment with a girl’ is a liar.” Any bridge player who says he’s never had an awkward moment at the table is a liar. The winners, though, find a way to survive when faced with difficult decisions. This week we are going to study handdealt layouts that produced problems for the players. First, look at the South hand in today’s diagram. What would be your opening bid? Hands with 4-4-4-1 distribution can be a nuisance. But with this one, a good general guideline is to treat king-singleton as if it were
king-doubleton. So plan on bidding no-trump. It would not be unreasonable to open two no-trump if you would be promising a good 20, 21 or 22 points. But I think you should upgrade because of all the aces and kings. Open two clubs, planning to rebid two no-trump. Here, whatever you do, you should end in three no-trump. West leads his fourthhighest diamond five: seven, three (lowest from a tripleton when unable to play a nine or higher), king. What happens after that? You have only six top tricks: two spades, one heart, one diamond and two clubs. It would be nice to find the spade finesse winning, but you need to get into the dummy. Cash the club ace, then lead
a low club toward the dummy. Here, West has no defense. At the table, he won with his club queen and played three rounds of diamonds. South discarded three hearts (East threw one heart), cashed the club jack, and ran the spade jack to take nine tricks: three spades, one heart, two diamonds and three clubs.

types of jobs. Today’s challenge is with our aging demographics. There is, in Canada, a huge growth in our resource sector making demands on our labour market supply. The temporary foreign workers program now has 340,000 foreign workers in Canada, and 90 per cent are located in the three western provinces. The program guidelines were clear: Canadians have first crack at the jobs, but if a process was followed that proved there were no Canadians willing or trained for the job, a temporary foreign worker could be employed. Unfortunately, there are always some people that play on the edges. Abuses of the program have been brought to light. The program has always been closely monitored and very few abuses have been found. But, to eliminate any abuse, we have added stricter guidelines. Your government has introduced legislation that will ensure the program mandate is clear.
No foreign worker will be paid less than the Canadian wage level for their particular skill. The legislation will increase the government’s authority to suspend or revoke work permits and labour market opinions, if the program is misused. The program cannot Colin Mayes be used to facilitate outsourcing of Canadian jobs. We will restrict English and French as the only languages that can be identified as a job requirement. Finally, we will charge fees for applications so taxpayers are not paying for the processing of these labour market opinions and the program that will benefit the employer. Those companies that are using temporary foreign workers must have a plan in place to eliminate their reliance on temporary foreign workers and fill positions with Canadians seeking employment as soon as possible. This will help forward our government’s Canada job grant program to help prepare Canadians for the job demands of today’s economy.

News Record reservations at B.C. parks jeff nagel Black Press
An exceptionally sunny, dry summer in much of the province helped push B.C. Parks to an all-time record number of reservations at provincial campgrounds. More than 115,000 camping reservations were made through the province’s Discover Camping service, up 12 per cent from last year. Campers were allowed to make reservations at more campsites and campgrounds, including Kleanza Creek, Martha Creek, Chilliwack Lake, Mabel Lake and Bowron Lake, increasing the number of reservable sites to more than 5,000 at 95 parks. While Labour Day is the traditional end to the regular camping season, BC Parks officials are trying to pump up shoulder season camping. They say campsites
are quieter in the fall, with attractions like spawning salmon in some areas. It’s also the time of
year when long-stay camping is permitted, allowing campers to stay four to six weeks at reduced rates in select
parks. Seniors over 65 also get camping discounts from Sept. 3 to June 14 next year.

Singer drives change for the better
Justin Hines is back in Vernon and gives two concerts on his Vehicle of Change Tour in support of Kindale Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Justin Hines looks out the window as the colourful patches of the Prairies blur from yellow to brown to green. On the road in a wheelchair accessible RV, the singer-songwriter is about halfway from where he started near his hometown of Toronto, driving through Kindersley, Sask. on Highway 7, which parallels the Trans Canada in the southern part of the province. Hines’ wife Savannah is at the wheel, while his bandmates, Ash and Bloom (James Bloemendal and Matt McKenna), and his manager kick back in the spacious home on wheels. This is how Hines has been “flying” as of late as he takes his Vehicle of Change Tour across the country. This is week six of the tour, which saw the RV’s occupants refresh recently in their home province of Ontario for a small break. They are about to arrive in Vernon for two concerts: a family performance at Polson Park as well as a dinner show at the Prestige Hotel. Both happen Labour Day, Monday. In Vernon last year, this is Hines’ way of giving back to his fans by helping to contribute to a local charity in each city and town he performs in, with 100 percent of the funds raised from the show going back to the organization. “I wanted to do something different and meaningful,” said Hines.“This is not a traditional music tour. It is inclusive with as many people as possible, incorporating different charities. It has been a combination of charities reaching out to us and us reaching
Ivan OtIs phOtO
Singer-songwriter Justin Hines returns to Vernon to perform a free concert in Polson Park Monday afternoon as well as for a dinner show at the Prestige Hotel that night. out to them. We’ve done our homework on their impact on the community. This is more about awareness than just raising money.” Hines’ charity of choice in the North Okanagan is a fitting one. Small in stature, however big in voice and heart, Hines has a rare genetic joint condition called Larsen’s syndrome, which has him using a wheelchair for mobility. He is bringing awareness to those with developmental and other disabilities by supporting the non-profit Kindale Developmental Association. “I had a memorable time the last time I was in Vernon (which was also in support of Kindale), and it was a natural fit to be able to help them again,” he said.
The Vehicle of Change Tour, which is also in support of Hines’ new album, How We Fly, has been made even more memorable due to the vehicle Hines and his entourage have been provided to complete it. The RV came as a total surprise when it was generously donated by Stewart and Lily Jean of Brockville, Ont., who had never met Hines before. “They pulled a fast one. They said they were going to rent it to us and when we went to pick it up, they gave it to us for free. The only thing they asked is that we pass it on to the next family when we are done with it,” said Hines. “This is an accessible RV, which are really hard to find. We would have had to
soup it up and it would have cost a fortune.” The generosity and faith of humanity is not lost on Hines, who has overcome challenges to do what he loves — make music. His career has literally soared since he first approached a microphone to sing the national anthem at a Toronto Raptors’ game and has seen him through four albums and numerous tours, taking him across North America and from China to the Middle East. And he has a ton of fans to show for it. Case in point: The Vehicle of Change Tour became a reality through the contributions of Hines’ fans through his Pledgemusic campaign. “I am grateful to my fans and my family who see beyond the challenges. I am surrounded by people who think outside the box, and they see how I am obsessed with this journey,” he said. “I think it’s now important in my career to spread that message, that we don’t have to live in a dog-eat-dog world. I don’t know how else to convey that message of community through any other means. To me, it has always been through music.” Hines is keeping that in mind as he tours along the long highways and byways of this great nation, visiting towns and cities, reaching out wherever he stops. The unofficial wrap-up of the tour will take place in Ottawa in mid-October. “I look at a place like Outlook, Sask. and see the power and generosity of a small community where they put us up and fed us breakfast. For us, it’s a thrill to play to an intimate crowd and venue and to get to know people and learn their names. It’s as fulfilling as playing a large venue.” Hines, featuring Ash and Bloom, visits Vernon’s Polson Park for a free family concert from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday. Opening will be local artists Jayme McKillop (Ginger and Rose), Camryn Sproule and Adrenaline Rush. The second concert, Dinner with Justin, takes place at the Prestige Inn Monday. Doors open at 6 p.m. and tickets ($50, includes dinner and concert) are available at Bourbon Street Bar and Grill, East Side Liquor Store or by phone: (250) 503-7974.
Let it be resolved that Steve Patterson is one of Canada’s funniest comics Morning Star Staff
Though most familiar to more than 750,000 weekly listeners as the host of The Debaters on CBC Radio, it is as an international headline stand-up comedian where Steve Patterson truly shines. Struck by the idea of standup as a full-time career in 1997, when he lost his job as a copywrit-
er for making an ad about an amusement park “too amusing,” Patterson has since performed across Canada, as well as Australia, I r e l a n d , Steve Patterson Switzerland, the U.K., the U.S. and
• Kelowna • Penticton • Salmon Arm • Valleyview • Rutland • West Kelowna • Vernon • North Kamloops • Sahali
even the United Arab Emirates (the crowd spoke English... Steve’s not a magician). By 2010, steady accolades for his work garnered him a third invitation to perform on the Just For Laughs prestigious televised gala. Considered to be the highlight of the show by critics and audience alike, Patterson’s performance
prompted the legendary comedy icon and gala host, Steve Martin, to quip: “If I’d known he was going to be THAT good, I would have cancelled him.” The comedy industry formally agreed with Martin, when Patterson was named Canada’s Best Male Stand-Up Comic at the Canadian Comedy Awards.
In November, Patterson begins the third leg of a national tour with his 90-minute one man show, This Is Not Debatable. The tour includes a stop in Vernon Nov. 10 at the Performing Arts Centre. Tickets are $45.50 and are on sale now. Call the Ticket Seller box office at 250-549-7469 or visit www. ticketseller.ca for tickets.

Mayer gets serious John Mayer - Paradise Valley
O
n Paradise Valley, the album named for his Montana home, John Mayer wisely calls the tune on Call Me the Breeze, the old JJ Cale warhorse. For a song done by everyone from Eric Clapton, Lynyrd Skynyrd and thousands of bar bands, Mayer makes it work. He skirts the obvious clichés and goes for the jugular with taste, restraint and confidence. It fits with Mayer’s wandering musical spirit as he continues on a quiet roots-driven road; another few miles down Dean Gordon-Smith from his last album. Mayer’s musical DNA is partly acoustic, although the early frat boy pop has now shifted into the Americana, folk, countryrock and ballads that fill up this album. Paradise Valley is decidedly mellow but the friendly mood and lyrical musicianship supply the low-key burn that can’t be denied. In Dear Marie, Mayer’s vocal carries off the task of looking back at a youthful sweetheart with aplomb, no easy task. He gets you on his side, agreeing with the wistful, world weary flashback. There’s a spot in a recording where the fake is obvious and insincerity glares through. There’s none of that here – the writing is candid and the performances are poignant and finely nuanced. Mayer’s musical nomadism makes sense as an instrumentalist: he’s digging for expression and hits hints of The Beatles, Paul Simon, and the Allman Brothers. His jazzy melodicism lifts up the low-key ballads (Paper Doll, I Will Be Found {Lost at Sea}) to soul searching songs. His guitar playing is fresh and original, keeping free of clichés. His clean sound is his stamp, and he’s developed an identity that’s not based on the usual rock posturing. Having ducked the tabloids, Katy Perry ditches cartoon pop for a winsome duet with Mayer on Who You Love, sounding like a serious singer with something to say. Frank Ocean makes an appearance on an interesting sound snippet called Wildfire. These don’t sound like the usual space-filling features and are in key with the album’s mood. Mayer’s inclination for quiet songs gets another layer of introspection with this album, and the rustic setting fits the songs naturally.

A multicultural art project starting in Vernon is inviting interested immigrants, artists and residents to join the Fabrics of the World mosaic project, as part of the Welcoming Communities program. The project will be a colourful mosaic tile composition, representing different cultures from around the world. “The tile sections are a snapshot of immigration trends in Vernon over the past 10 years and highlights the rich cultural diversity that exists in our community,” said Lara Konkin, events and marketing coordinator with the Downtown Vernon Association. Once completed, the project will be permanently displayed on the south facing wall of the City of Vernon’s community services building – previously the old library entrance.
Submitted
The tile mosaic will reflect Vernon’s multicultural population. “We are looking for volunteers to help put together the tile sections. They do not need to have a background in art, just an interest in learning about other cultures and mosaic,” said Konkin. Interested participants can take part in a series of workshops that will help complete the mosaic tile project. It is a chance for community members to participate in creating a public art piece to be enjoyed for years to come. As the lead agency for the project, the DVA

Soprano to spread joy of singing Morning Star Staff
After a year’s hiatus from teaching, singer, director and producer Melina Moore is ready to start up her studio, Valley Vocal Arts (VVA), for its 18th season, starting in September. Founded in 1996 (as StudioMoore), Moore took the past year off to concentrate on her performing career, and says she is feeling refreshed and rejuvenated to start teaching again. “It was a difficult decision to take a year off, but I felt my students would only stand to benefit if I recharged my batteries,” said the local soprano, who is originally from New York City and studied at Juilliard. “I also had several goals I wanted to accomplish involving

The show was sponsored by Sparkling Hill Resort. “This performance made local history, being the first feature musical production ever to collaborate with the OSO,” she said. “We then reprised the show on New Year’s Eve at Sparkling Hill Resort and it was a triumph.” Moore’s relationship with Sparkling Hill continues to thrive, and many future projects are in the works. “We are already in the planning stages for the fourth annual New Year’s Eve Gala at Sparkling Hill to ring in 2014, the theme of which will be masquerade,” said Moore. The singer also continues to perform in private concerts and as part of the musical trio, The Dharma Dolls, featuring Judy Rose and Tanya Lipscomb. This summer took an exciting turn when Moore performed with legendary Canadian musical theatre icon Michael Burgess. The two are planning a nationwide concert tour for 2014-15. “Singing with Michael this past summer was absolutely a dream come true.

said. The past year also saw Moore perform with renowned Welsh tenor Peter Karrie, who played the Phantom of the Opera. The two completed a 12-show Okanagan concert tour, which marked their third annual collaboration together. With VVA set to open, aspiring singers of all ages will soon prepare for public performances to take place throughout the teaching year in the form of workshops, master classes, monthly recitals, cabaret-style evenings and a feature mainstage musical at the Powerhouse Theatre in the spring. “I began producing and directing our full-length musicals in 2010 with our production of Les Misérables. It was so successful that we went on to do The Producers in 2011 and The Pirates of Penzance in 2012,” she said. “This year is going to be epic. We have already secured the rights for Brigadoon, Hair, Fiddler on the Roof and Monty Python’s Spamalot. Now it’s a matter of deciding when we will feature what.” A Merry Moore Christmas is also making its return this December at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, and will feature both Melina and local tenor Paul Moore, as well as VVA students. In addition to the studio’s regular activities, Moore has been planting the seeds for a brand-new non-profit organization called Curtain Call Concerts. “The CCC Society will be a new Okanagan concert series that will present beloved musicals and operettas in concert format on stage, giving singers even more opportunities to perform for a live audience, and local concert lovers a chance to see and hear all their favourite musicals,” said Moore. Auditions for VVA are being held this weekend. Email melina@ melinamoore.com for an appointment or visit www.melinamoore.com for more information.

Sending support to Uganda The annual Apwoyo Gulu fundraiser helps out St. Mary’s Hospital in Northern Uganda
Morning Star Staff
The staff members at St. Mary’s Hospital in Lacor, Gulu, Uganda, do the best they can to care for their patients. The 474-bed hospital has up to 700 patients a day with patients sleeping on the floors or outside under the trees. There is not enough staff, and while many are welltrained, others have just basic training and others are learning on the job. Supplies are short and the temperatures can reach 48 degrees with high humidity. Canadian and other medical teams are welcomed for the supplies and equipment they bring and for the training they provide. Vernon surgeon Dr. Ghee Hwang has been teaching surgical skills to surgical residents, medical students and hospital staff, as well as offering his own skills to the surgical program since 2008. “I teach the doctors and we have put together a course with books for nurses. There is no standardized training for nurses in the country and they were quite excited to have this opportunity. We want to train the nurses so that they will be able to train others; that way, they help themselves and won’t always need someone else coming in,” he said. “Our mission is to return yearly to teach peri-operative nursing skills to Ugandan nurses, and will need funds to achieve our goals.” In 2011, Hwang and other medical professionals formed a group with the goal of raising funds, to be used towards providing education, medical and surgical supplies and equipment for St. Mary’s. It’s the largest hospital in Northern Uganda and is funded mostly by charitable donations from the Corti Foundation. “It survives on around three million Euros ($3.7 million Canadian),” said Hwang. In Vernon, funds are raised through the annual Apwoyo Gulu fundraiser. This year’s event takes place Sept. 21 at 6 p.m. at the

Vernon caregivers get tips for living well with dementia Morning Star Staff
If you assemble three Vernon residents in a room, chances are that one of them knows someone with Alzheimer’s disease. That’s how prevalent the disease has become, according to the nonprofit Alzheimer Society of B.C.
The statistics are more than just numbers. They represent local families who are affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementias. This insight has led the society to bring its free workshop, Getting to Know Dementia, to the area. The introductory workshop will
run on Friday, Sept. 6. “Participants will receive basic information on dementia and the impact it has on the individual, their care partners, and their support network,” said Carly Gronlund, the society’s support and education coordinator for
See Your Kitchen in a Whole New Light
It's the room which is the heart of your home, where you and your loved ones gather to share meals. The room where all good parties end up. Let us help you make this room warm and inviting.
VERNON’S LARGEST LIGHTING SELECTION ~ NO ONE EVEN COMES CLOSE!
Vernon and the Central Okanagan. The workshop provides an opportunity to learn about the diagnosis, different programs and services available in the community, the importance of planning for the future and strategies for living well. The free workshop is intended
for caregivers and family members of people with dementia only. It runs from 2 to 4 p.m. at The People Place, 3402 27th Ave. Preregistration is required. For information and to register contact Gronlund at 250-860-0305 or cgronlund@alzheimerbc.org.

Ezek. 1:4 “A whirlwind flashing for thee continually.” The effects of things taking place in the heavens, felt upon the earth: symbolical of God’s judgements which were soon to fall on the wicked people of Israel. The prophets speak also of a great cloud and fire enfolding itself. Jer. 23:19 “Behold a world wind of the LORD is gone forth in fury … in the latter days.” which will also be our day.

The dark side of the mom
ear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 20 years. He has four children with his ex-wife, who lives nearby. The divorce was not pleasant, and my husband still has a lot of resentment. Neither of us is comfortable around the ex. So how do I explain to my 30-year-old stepdaughter, “Susie,” that when we have gatherings with his kids, we don’t want Kathy Mitchell & MarcySugar to include their mother? Three of their kids live in the area and can visit Mom whenever they wish. When Susie comes into town, all of the kids gather at their mother’s, and she never invites us. That’s fine. But for some reason, Susie feels that since her mother is single and “alone,” she should be invited to our home whenever Susie is in town. Until now, I’ve been nice about it and included her. But I recently found out that the ex has been saying hurtful things about me to the kids, who apparently don’t defend me. I’ve always made myself available for emergency calls, babysitting the grandchildren, etc. How do I handle the next visit? — No Longer So Nice
Dear No: With kindness. The ex is going to say bitter things, and when her kids are with her, they don’t defend you because it would create a problem with their mother. We urge you not to make an issue of this. They obviously have a decent relationship with you, and this should not be taken lightly. It’s also possible that Mom, with her own insecurities, is pressuring Susie. You don’t have to include her in everything you plan, but please be the bigger person and do so when you can. Dear Annie: I’m a healthy, active, happily married 61-year-old female. I work part time, but after all these years, I find the work monotonous. I exercise and socialize at the local fitness facility, but that’s kind of same old, same old. Then I go home, do some cleaning and organizing, and end up looking for things to do. I don’t know where I’m going or what to do with myself. My husband is a few years younger. We have different interests, so he isn’t going to be helpful. I keep an eye open for volunteer opportunities, but haven’t seen anything that’s a good fit. I know I’m lucky and am not complaining. But do you have any suggestions for me? — Montreal West Island, Quebec Dear Quebec: First, decide where your interests lie. Do you enjoy the arts? Join a choir or theater group. Sign up for an art class or learn guitar. Do you like working

What about your local library or chamber of commerce? Try meetup.com or the Red Hat Society (redhatsociety.org). You may need to try out a few places before you find something that’s a “good fit,” but please don’t give up. Many places would welcome someone with your energy. Dear Annie: “California” wondered whether it was rude to read his hosts’ newspaper before they woke up. I, too, like to read my paper with my morning coffee. Here’s my solution: When I travel, I take my home paper with me. I then buy a local paper at a gas station, convenience store or some place in the town I am visiting. I tend to buy additional papers from surrounding towns. Since the people I am visiting usually subscribe to only one newspaper, they enjoy reading the additional ones I bring. That way, I have several papers to read at my leisure, and my hosts have theirs. — Another Early News Addict Please e-mail your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, Calif., 90254.

Cold beer sales expand jeff nagel Black Press
Another liquor policy reform being eyed by the province would allow more government liquor stores to sell cold beer and wine, which has long been the domain of private stores. Ten government stores already sell some refrigerated products but the province will now test the waters for a major expansion. Walk-in beer and wine “cold rooms” will open at the end of September at three stores in Burnaby, Duncan and Salmon Arm. That’s the first stage of a pilot project that will add four more walk-in beer and wine John Yap refrigeration coolers at existing stores in Oliver, Osoyoos, Mill Bay and Grand Forks later in the fall. The province wants feedback on the idea as part of its already-launched Liquor Policy Review, along with several other proposals for reform. The concept may be in for a rough ride from the organization representing private liquor stores. The Alliance of Beverage Licensees of B.C. called the move a surprise and said it would throw private outlets and government stores into more direct competition. John Yap, the parliamentary secretary for the liquor policy review, said all other Canadian provinces offer refrigeration in most, if not all, of their government liquor stores. “This is another area where we think B.C. is lagging behind other jurisdictions,” Yap said. “Refrigeration units seem to be very popular with customers, but the public and industry will now have the opportunity to give us feedback on whether this is something they would like to see on a larger scale around the province.” Other potential reforms being explored include licensing farmers’ markets and spas to serve alcohol and letting under-aged children have lunch at a pub with their parents during the day. Public consultations run until Oct. 31 and a website for comments is to launch next month. Don’t expect booze to get cheaper under any future reforms. The province aims to at least maintain if not increase its revenue. POWER THE PROMISE You can help more students get an education.

Walter used to eat frozen dinners alone … Now he enjoys a varied menu and great company. Mealtime was mostly a chore for Walter. Living alone, he would simply choose what was easiest to prepare and eat in front of the TV. Nutrition was rarely a consideration. At Chartwell, the chef changes the menu daily, so Walter not only gets to choose from a variety of balanced meals, but he enjoys them with a side dish of laughter and conversation.

Brenda Lee Winquist January 12th , 1965 August 17th, 2013 It is with heavy hearts and tremendous regret that we announce the passing of Brenda Lee Winquist. She passed away all too soon at the age of 48 on Saturday, August 17th in Vernon, BC. She will be deeply missed by her only child Brita; her life partner Ben; her father Roland; her two sisters Vicki and Debora; and her four nieces: Shonna, Angela, Nicki, and Amanda; and one nephew, Ryan; as well as her closest friends: Debbie, Wayne, Marty, and Jonathan. She was predeceased by her mother, Shirley, whom she deeply loved and missed. Brenda was born in New Westminster, BC as the youngest in a family of Įve. She grew up with a passion for art, reading, dancing, wriƟng and of course, animals, which derived from her inƟmate connecƟon with horses and her work as a veterinary technician. She later worked as a facilitator with a computer and business training school, where she met her partner Benũi. dhey conƟnued to live life together in Vernon with Brenda’s daughter, Brita. Brenda enjoyed being the navigator of all games, watching Įlms, going for long drives, Įne dining, and spending Ɵme with her many cats. Brenda was always prepared to make everyone laugh with her sharp humor and outrageous imaginaƟon. She loved any and all things fantasy, especially her dragons. She always had a very strong relaƟonship with her daughter, Brita, providing not only a motherly inŇuence but also that of a best friend or conĮdant. She spoke oŌen of craŌing jewelry, and conƟnually dreamed of traveling the world. She so strongly wished to explore the Mayan ruins, ride all the roller coasters at Six Flags and visit India and enjoy their many spices. She was a huge dreamer and never lost grip of her passions. Her personality was vibrant, her words wise and her heart massive. She was a beauƟful woman to many people and her presence will be forever missed, not only by those close to her, but from afar as well. The friends she made around the globe, the hearts and souls and minds that she touched, probed, or explored. She always took the Ɵme to get to know each and everyone she became friends with. Those who wish to pay their respects may do so on Saturday, August 31st, ϮϬ13, 11:ϬϬ a.m. unƟl ϲ:ϬϬ p.m. Brenda’s CelebraƟon of Life will take place at her daughter’s residence at 4ϲϬϬ ʹ ϮϬth Street, Vernon, BC, V1T 4E5.
