Fair fun in full swing RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

There’s still plenty of time to take in the action of the Interior Provincial Exhibition.

A steady crowd is expected today — the last day of the 114th annual Armstrong fair.

“We are in the swing of things,” said Bryan Burns, IPE general manager.

Burns anticipates that many people will be making their first visit to the fair while others have been several times since the gates opened Wednesday.

“We have had people come here for the first time ever and they say it’s awesome,” he said.

“There is so much to see and do.”

Attendance figures show there were 15,921 people on the grounds Wednesday and 16,105 Thursday.

But the numbers could swell towards last year’s

total of 150,170 as huge crowds were anticipated Friday, Saturday and Sunday under sunny skies.

The popularity of the IPE largely revolves around its diversity.

You can focus on just the midway or spend all of your time looking at livestock and horticultural displays. For some, they come only for the rodeo.

“If you want to eat some great food and listen to music at the stage, you can do that too,” said Burns.

With hundreds of thousands of people wandering around, Burns is relying on an army of staff and volunteers to ensure everything proceeds as scheduled.

“The volunteers are incredible. We couldn’t run an event of this size without the volunteers,” he said.

It’s all about fun on the midway Jennifer Smith

Morning Star Staff

wirling, swirling, stomachturning, adrenaline-packed rides are one of the main attractions at any fair. And that’s no exception at the Interior Provincial Exhibition.

The Armstrong fair boasts dozens of rides for all levels of thrill-seekers, from the traditional carousel and ferris wheel to kiddie attractions and daredevil delights such as the zipper and scrambler.

West Coast Amusements has been bringing these, plus all the games and some added treats and eats, to the IPE for years.

Anyone who has hopped on one of the rides and been greeted by one of the smiling staff members knows that West Coast is setting the bar for some of the best entertainment providers.

It’s operators like Kelly Hogan who make every rider feel extra special.

Hogan is primarily stationed at Bulgy the Whale (known more so as the “fish” ride) in the kiddie zone.

Not only does she wear an infectious smile all day, but Hogan goes above and beyond to ensure the little riders leave smiling.

“I love kids,” said the Richmond resident, who doesn’t have any grandkids, “yet.”

Not only do her special riders get to enjoy the thrill of feeling like they are jumping out of the ocean on the whales, but Hogan can routinely be seen handing out high-fives to the kids as they make the rounds on the ride.

“By the end of the day my hand doesn’t feel the same,” laughs Hogan, enjoying her first year with West Coast which has taken her from Prince Albert to Armstrong and everywhere in between.

Like Hogan, there’s another fair attraction who also ensures kids of all ages are beaming a bright smile.

Uncle Chris the Clown, who

has been coming to the fair for two years now, is a highlight in Kids World.

Whether he’s cracking jokes on the stage or magically twisting balloons into little creatures or swords and armour, kids of all ages love the humourous clown.

“This year I just snuck in the fence they didn’t really even know I was coming,” joked Uncle Chris.

The Kamloops clown has been to a lot of fairs, but the IPE is one of the biggest he’s attended.

“This one is pretty cool, this one has the coolest people.”

The IPE wraps up today, with the exhibit halls open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and the midway opens at 11 a.m. The final rodeo goes at 8 p.m.

District prepared for start of classes richard rolke Morning Star Staff

It’s almost back to the books for North O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap students.

Summer comes to an end when classes resume throughout the district Tuesday.

“The beginning of the school year is always an exciting time for students, parents and teachers,” said superintendent Glenn Borthistle.

“We are looking at a great year ahead for our students.”

The district’s focus for 2013/14 will include early education and specifically reading, building resiliency among special needs students and student/community engagement.

It’s anticipated there will be about 6,000 students in the district, down 240 from last year.

“It’s a continuing pattern that we’re seeing due to demographic changes,” said Borthistle of an aging population

“We are looking at a great year.”

and declining birth rate.

A reduction in enrolment has financial implications as the district receives $6,900 per student from the Ministry of Education.

Earlier in 2013, the district slashed $1.8 million from the 2013/14 budget.

Principal and viceprincipal time was reduced so they can teach more and there were 12 teachers lost.

All supply budgets were trimmed and storefront schools in Armstrong, Enderby, Salmon Arm and Sicamous were restructured.

Tight finances are not likely to go away any time soon as enrolment continues to shrink.

“We anticipate further tough decisions to

make,” said Borthistle.

And there wouldn’t be a return to classes without the possibility of job action.

Contract talks between the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association came to a halt early in August. Talks are scheduled to resume this week.

The union includes bus drivers, custodians, education assistants, youth workers, clerical staff and district tradespeople.

“I feel fairly optimistic about the situation being resolved,” said Borthistle.

“The question will be funding any settlements reached at the table.”

Schools under pressure richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Students won’t be the only ones facing homework as classes resume Tuesday.

Vernon School District officials will be hitting the books to ensure dropping enrolment and tight fiscal conditions can be addressed.

“Given reducing resources, we have to look at how to provide quality education,” said Joe Rogers, superintendent.

As part of the process, Rogers will hold a retreat with trustees in early September to hammer out a five-year plan.

“We may have to look at changing grade configurations or school closures,” he said.

“Some districts create revenue through busing.”

About $2.2 million was chopped from the 2013/14 budget based on enrolment projections.

It included cutting 19 teaching positions, 1.4 school-based administration staff and one custodian. There will also be reduced maintenance staff, while bus routes will be consolidated and inflationary costs for supplies must be absorbed within existing budgets.

It’s anticipated there will be about 7,900 students this September, down 125 to 130 from last year.

That continuing trend is largely a result of an aging population and declining birth rate.

A reduction in enrolment has financial impli-

cations as the district receives $6,900 per student from the Ministry of Education.

Enrolment could ultimately bottom out at 7,500 students in 2017.

“We’ll start moving back up after that. By 2020, it’s projected to be 7,800,” said Rogers.

The resumption of classes Tuesday also brings the possibility of job action.

Contract talks between the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association came to a halt early in August. They are scheduled to resume this week.

The union includes bus drivers, custodians, education assistants, youth workers, clerical staff and tradespeople.

“As long as people are talking, we are happy,” said Rogers.

“We’d like to see a settlement because we value our CUPE employees and we want them treated fairly.”

There has been considerable activity underway at all schools over the summer as staff try and ensure everything is ready for the return of students.

“Our maintenance and custodial departments have done a great job,” said Rogers.

“Harwood Elementary has been refitted and there’s been work done on the parking lot at J.W. Inglis.”

for not complying with restrictions (too many people in a vehicle at once - $109), and those with too many infractions also have a chance of having their vehicle impounded.

Szoboticsanec also warns that many of these parties attract unsavory individuals whom many parents would not like to see their kids associating with.

“It’s not just students who attend these parties,” she said of the young adults no longer in school and who are generally immersed in the drug world.

Students can also face suspension if they attend such parties and show up at school the next day in any level of intoxication or with “nonsense written all over them,” warns Rogers.

are unacceptable, and should not be tolerated.

“There’s a lot of parents who just sit quietly who don’t want their kids going but they have peer pressure from other parents who say, ‘relax, my kid’s going.’

“And probably a lot of kids right now are feeling the peer pressure of going to these parties and are looking to their parents for advice and if they aren’t getting it from the parents they’re going to get it from their peers.”

Vernon RCMP officers warn that they will find the locations of these parties and are ready to hand out tickets for traffic and liquor infractions ($230).

The fine for speeding in a school zone is $196 to $253, while it is $167 for failing to stop for a school bus or yielding to a pedestrian.

There are also safety precautions students should take.

“Remove your headphones and put away your phone or other electronic gadgets when crossing the street,” said McDonald.

“Focus on the road so you can see, hear and respond safely.”

Be aware of parked vehicles in a parking lot or on the road.

“A driver may not see you between parked vehicles and you may not see them moving,” said McDonald.

“Before crossing or walking through a parking lot, stop and look left-right-left around parked vehicles. Children should avoid taking shortcuts through parking lots.”

Car crashes are still the number one preventable cause of death for children and youth in B.C. aged five to 18.

He envisions himself as part of the team of health care providers who aim to improve the quality of life and longevity of those who seek their help.

Artists ink for babies JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

As a tattoo artist, Vernon’s Nick Matovich is used to seeing people stricken with fear as they sit in for an ink session (especially the first-timers) at Five Fathoms. So he’s used to talking them down and easing their anxiety.

He’s supposed to be the calm one. But his easygoing attitude soon came crashing down when he and his wife learned that their unborn daughter would be born with a congenital heart defect (hypoplastic left heart syndrome).

“We freaked out obviously,” said Matovich, wrenched with fear over choices to be made, surgery risks and what his first child’s future would be like.

But after learning more, talking to the doctors and feeling blessed that B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver would help, the nerves began to ease – as best they could under the circumstances.

“For her first surgery she was only five days old.”

Then at five months, Nova underwent her second surgery.

“That one was hard too but we got through that,” said Matovich.

Now, almost 20-months-old, she is doing well and enjoying life before a third surgery in about a year’s time.

PHOTOS BY NICK MATOVICH

Nova Matovich prior to her second open-heart surgery at just five months old. Now almost 20 months old, the little Vernon girl will require a third surgery in about a year’s time. Tattoo artist Dax Brunet of Vancouver donates his time and talent to ink a client at Five Fathoms in Vernon last Sunday, where $15,000 was raised for B.C. Children’s Hospital.

Aside from the scar, “she’s a really normal kid.”

Since Nova was born, Matovich has always wanted to do something to show his appreciation.

“We’re pretty lucky to have B.C. Children’s right there in Vancouver,” said Matovich, who grew up in Vernon (2001 VSS grad) but was living in Vancouver at the time of his daughter’s birth and moved back to his hometown last August.

So with the tattoo community behind him, Matovich organized a fundraiser at Five Fathoms Sunday, Aug. 25.

Originally they set a goal of raising $3,000.

“But we crushed it,” said Matovich.

With approximately a dozen tattoo artists from across Western Canada donating their time, the shop raised $15,000.

“We did over 100 tattoos that day. The last tattoo was done at 2 a.m. the next day.”

Kelowna food truck Mustard Tiger pitched in by setting up in front of the shop, local band Paperboy entertained the masses and combined with the community’s support, more babies like Nova will get the necessary medical attention they need.

“A big thank you to all of the tattooers that travelled from out of town to help out – Rob Jobe, Cam Morris, Ryan Halter, Mike Prior, Dax Brunet, Nick Luit, Nate Browns, Jeremy Friesen, and Benny Hannya to Lucas Ford and family, we love you and thank you for the Good Guy Supply donation.”

Carry on camping

s the clock winds down on yet another spectacular summer in the North Okanagan, the ‘serious’ season begins in earnest as kids go back to school and college and we go back, well, to work again, only more seriously.

It always makes me a bit wistful saying goodbye to summer and I usually kick myself a little for not getting to the beach more, golfing more, boating more, camping more, just generally taking advantage of that small window of opportunity we like to call summer in these parts. Heavy sigh.

You know what though, September is actually very underrated as it’s usually nice weather, a little cooler Glenn Mitchell which is sometimes nice for us older folks, no campfire bans or concerns about tinder-dry forests (although do be careful) and the traffic and crowds have died down somewhat.

I know my wife and I are going to try and camp this month (yes, it’s September already) which tells you we’re one step away from the senior set as our kids no longer accompany us and we’re not as tied down with hockey tryouts and....we like to call it a time of transition (which sounds so much better than getting older and trying to repurpose our lives).

B.C. Parks is also pushing the shoulder season and a recent release points out that sites are now more available, long-stay camping is now permitted (up to six weeks at reduced rates, not quite ready for that opportunity quite yet) and seniors, over 65, get camping discounts from Sept. 3 until June 14 next year (don’t quite qualify yet, and doesn’t it get a little cold during that stretch?).

B.C. Parks also announced last week that, largely thanks to great summer weather, they established a new record number of reservations at provincial campgrounds. Apparently more than 115,000 reservations were made, up 12 per cent from last year.

MitChEll’S MuSingS

Part of the increase might also be due to the fact that more campsites and campgrounds were added to the system this year, including good old Mabel Lake where my family has spent considerable time in the past.

They always told me before that Mabel Lake couldn’t be added to the system due to the sketchy cell service in the area, which was always OK by me because I don’t really believe in the reservation system anyway.

Well, perhaps I should explain that a bit.

I barely know what I’m having for supper tonight, let alone able to plan my camping activities six months ahead, which is when the online service is launched each year (OK, maybe not six months ahead but you get the idea...)

Not to mention I’m cheap so I don’t like paying extra money to get a campsite (especially when you already pay more now for an extra vehicle, firewood etc.). I suppose I shouldn’t begrudge those who actually have their act together to plan ahead and are willing to pay a little more to guarantee a site, after all I’m one of those who appreciates knowing ahead if I’m actually going to get a site and not end up in overflow.

However, what does bother me is the one time I got out to Mabel this year, there were prime sites that would never be empty on a weekend (you know, lower loops next to the grass), that went unused because they were reserved and paid for but nobody showed up. And it wasn’t just a few sites on that particular weekend.

Now I understand they can’t give them away if they’re paid for and you don’t know if the party will show up eventually (although the gates do close at a certain time) or the next day, but I felt sorry for the camp attendant who has to explain this over and over all summer to the people in less desirable sites, or, worse, in overflow.

Certainly there’s bugs to be worked out, especially at Mabel where it’s new and more sites than usual are still on a first-come basis, but maybe B.C. Parks can check into stats on how many of those 115,000 reservations were no shows and how best to address that situation for everyone’s benefit.

The Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development is considering banning anonymous contributions in municipal elections.

The B.C. government is considering reforms to legislation that governs our every-thirdyear local elections. Details are expected in a white paper next month.

With local politics in some B.C. cities starting to emulate Vancouver’s party system and third-party campaigning, the time has come for voters to know who the would-be kingmakers are.

Minister Coralee Oakes indicates that new legislation will require third-party advertisers to register and disclose their identity.

Time allowed for consultation will delay campaign spending limits for candidates, organizations and third-party advertisers until the 2017 civic elections, but those changes are expected, too.

Oakes, who said she expects improved transparency and accountability, calls the reforms the greatest modernization of local government election legislation in nearly 20 years.

Changes would affect voting for municipal councils, school boards and regional districts.

Although the response from the NDP local government opposition critic is typically critical, the president of the Union of B.C. Municipalities is pleased by the proposals.

That’s no surprise considering the UBCM has been recommending local election reform.

Vancouver-style civic politics saw the NPA, Vision, COPE and the Green Party collectively spent $5.2 million in the 2011 elections.

Vancouver’s major municipal parties spent more than $15 for each vote they got.

One bypass option better than others

T

hree years ago, the City of Vernon circulated a questionnaire that showed three possibilities for a highway bypass.

A western bypass through Bella Vista and through the O’Keefe Range, an elevated highway over the railroad tracks and the eastern bypass behind East Hill and through south and north BX down to Swan Lake. Yet the question was, do you agree with the western truckers bypass?

That to me means that the city planners had their minds made up on the western bypass and were not giving the public a choice of options. The only choice was to approve their decision or not have a bypass.

This seems to be a common theme. There was a similar questionnaire years ago about the expansion of the library and museum. The proposal to the public was to expand both, to the north. After the questionnaire,

support legacy Fund Thank you for the article on August 23 ‘Mayor (Kevin Acton) camping for social services’, showing his support for the Whitevalley Community Resource Centre’s Legacy Fund.

As the early years community development co-ordinator for the North Okanagan Early Childhood Development Coalition, I have worked closely with Whitevalley and its executive director Gay Jewitt for many years.

Our mandate is to support healthy development of children ages zero to six in the North Okanagan, including Vernon, Lumby, Cherryville, Lavington, Coldstream, Armstrong, Spallumcheen and Falkland.

WCRC has been a very key player in this initiative for almost a decade. It is inspiring to see how such a small agency can have such a great impact on the communities it serves and work so hard to support families with young children.

the public was informed that we turn the expansion down for the reason that we didn’t want to lose green space. Well look where we are now, another proposal to expand the museum to the north into green space and parking lot.

Also the sports complex at the college was pretty well forced down our throats with information meetings telling the public that this was our best and only possibility for a track and field

facility and also that this complex would be an economic boost to our community.

The planners say they consult with the public, but they consult after they have decided what, where and how much, when I think they should be asking for multiple scenarios from the public, special interest groups and business community.

That being said, all projects going forward should be only

considered if they strongly benefit the public's health, the environment and economy.

Back to the bypass options, the eastern bypass I think is our best option.

The bypass would line up with 27th Street and merge on to Highway 6 (not through the Pottery Road gully) sweep north through south and north BX (yes, through hobby farms and some orchards).

Often these families are experiencing the very real challenges of unemployment, poverty, a parent leaving the family for large portions of the year to seek work, and the many day-to-day challenges of raising children in rural communities.

The Vernon School District and HELP/UBC undertakes the early development instrument with kindergarten children every year to collect data on the impact of community early childhood supports on children’s vulnerability when they enter the school system.

Although the Lumby/ Cherryville area has many of the factors that could negativity impact children’s readiness, the services provided by WCRC and the Lumby and Area Early Childhood Development Committee have played a crucial role in mitigating those challenges as shown in the EDI data for the area.

We know that 90 per cent of a

child’s brain develops in the first five years and sets the foundation for everything that comes after.

WCRC is building the foundation for future citizens of Lumby and area.

I encourage all community members to support its Legacy Fund and ensure healthy, supported and productive citizens for years to come. lynn reside, early years community development co-ordinator noecdc

act with staff and residents.

I have the greatest respect for every member of the staff operating this facility. With the resources available to them, they create a relatively pleasant, homelike, safe environment.

They are observant and caring, responding effectively to the different needs and peculiarities of each resident, day after day.

Dementia expresses itself in so many different, often unexpected behaviours in different people.

At any given moment, the staff seems to be aware of what is going on with each resident and they communicate effectively. I am grateful for this type of care here in Vernon.

My deep sympathy goes to both families involved in this very sad and unfortunate tragedy. Dealing with unexpected loss and this disturbing turn of events, may you find compassion and peace in your heart.

They could build landscaped berms on either side to reduce noise and conceal the highway from the neighbouring properties and also construct a mutli-use path along one side. The eastern bypass also doesn’t disturb native wildlife habitat as the western bypass would disturb a great deal.

I was told by planners that this option was rejected because the highway would run through three jurisdictions (Vernon, Coldstream and RDNO) and would be a bureaucratic nightmare.

That’s now, but it probably won’t be long that this area will be amalgamated into Vernon.

By the way, if you're thinking I’m suggesting this with not-inmy-backyard thinking, this highway would run right below my backyard.

I live in the north BX just above where the highway would join Highway 97 at Swan Lake.

The height of new parking meters is creating challenges for some residents.

The City of Vernon is currently experimenting with credit card capable meters in the 3000 to 3200 blocks of 30th Avenue. However, the meters add height to the existing structures.

“Please bear with us as we move forward with making a decision regarding which meters will eventually be purchased,” said Kevin Koral, bylaw enforcement officer.

Koral says the city will reduce the height of the posts to a more appropriate level as it moves forward with a specific style of meter in October.

“The public is encouraged to try the new style parking meters with a credit card, and make comments with regards to their experience at www. mobosurvey.com/SGE3M,” said Koral.

RCMP operating with fewer staff Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

Despite a lack of resources putting a strain on local RCMP resources, officers are still effectively beating crime.

Out of 101 members in the North Okanagan detachment, the RCMP is currently down 23.

“It makes it very tight,” said Superintendent Reg Burgess.

“When we get reduced by that amount we have to adjust the service levels.”

For example, there’s currently limited resources for dog handlers due to leaves.

“Our police dog section has dwindled down a bit,” said Burgess.

“We’re currently operating with only one of the three dog masters.”

While Burgess is admittedly uncomfortable having that many members away, he hopes to see those numbers change over the next few months.

“We have some light at the end of the tunnel with people coming

“We have to adjust the service levels.”

back from injuries and maternity/paternity leaves.”

While resources are tight, the local RCMP detachment is still making a dent in area crime.

For the last quarter (April to June 2013) there was a six per cent drop in criminal code offences and a 12.6 per cent decline in property crime.

Officers have also stepped up their road presence by increasing road checks by 60 per cent. Traffic enforcement remained consistent at 97 per cent of last year’s quarterly results, which were the highest recorded in many years.

And through it all, no major accusations have been filed against the RCMP. “We don’t have

too many complaints against us at the moment.”

In fact, several officers have earned awards for their efforts, including three members claiming a spot on Alexa’s Team for impaired charges.

“They make it pretty well every year,” said Burgess of the trio.

Another area officers are keeping an eye out for is distracted driving (ie. use of cell phones while driving).

“We are finding that it is in fact causing more accidents than we thought.”

After presenting the quarterly reports to Coldstream council Monday evening, one councillor was shocked to learn about the lack of resources.

“That’s significant, that’s a quarter,” said

Coun. Maria Besso, who suggested that the funds Coldstream saves when there is a decline in officers be used towards targeting speeders on Kalamalka Road.

“That’s probably the single most greatest thing people comment on,” said Besso of the stretch between Kal Beach and Highway 6 at the Coldstream Ranch.

Coldstream will examine the possibility of having photo radar installed on Kalamalka Road in the future.

“Obviously the RCMP is stretched so they can’t necessarily deal with it themselves,” said Besso.

After a personal experience with a break and enter in his wife’s car, Coun. Gyula Kiss also raised issue of B&Es. “Car B&Es are some of the most prolific things we deal with,” said Burgess. “They (thieves) can do 15 to 20 cars in an evening.”

And as Kiss pointed out, even hiding valuables in the trunk

Forest road closed for repairs Morning Star Staff

Travellers are advised the Mabel Lake Forest Service Road will be temporarily closed at the 19-kilometre marker from Sept. 9 to 30.

Ministry of Forests staff will dismantle an old bridge that is deteriorating and will replace it with a steel-girder, concrete-deck bridge with a longer lifespan.

The Mabel Lake FSR is part of a road system

from Lumby to Three Valley Gap and the closure will obstruct this route.

As well, the Cottonwood Recreation Site and several private cabins beyond the closure will be accessible only from the Enderby side or the Trans-Canada Highway on the Three ValleyMabel FSR. The Mabel Lake FSR is located about 48 kilometres east of Lumby.

Centre ready to build Morning Star Staff

The Okanagan Science Centre is set to build on its foundation of permanent exhibits with Keva planks.

Thanks to funding support from MQN Architects, the OSC now boasts more than 8,000 identical, precision-cut Keva (knowledge, exploration and visual arts) planks.

“The sheer fun of Keva is in its simplicity,” said Sandi Dixon, executive director.

“You waste no time sorting through shapes, finding connectors, or waiting for glue to dry.

You can start building up your ideas the minute you sit down.”

Because each plank is the same, structures can be stacked with surprising stability.

The world record Keva building stood a 51 feet, eight inches tall at the National Building Museum in Washington D.C. “Anyone – toddler, child, teen, or adult – can build at their own level,” said Ryan Jameson, OSC program coordinator.

The new home option mature adults in Vernon have been waiting for is finally here!

Do you dream of simplifying the way you live?

Vernon’s Catherine Gardens, for people aged 55+, could be the smartest move you’ll ever make.

53 brand-new suites, where you can comfortably downsize. Say goodbye to daily hassles. Lockand-leave for travel. Enjoy local community conveniences. Be part of a legacy and gain the opportunity to fulfill your real goals. photo submitted

Volunteer Loren Stanley builds with Keva planks at the Okanagan Science Centre.

“We’re excited to see families and friends of all ages learning from and inspiring each other. We’ll help this inspiration along with regularly scheduled build-offs, Keva games, birthday parties and new public and school

group programs.”

Educational programs for schools will be cross-curricular, mixing equal parts physics and geometry with art and history.

“The creativity inspired by tools like Keva planks is impor-

tant for professional and aspiring architects and engineers of any age,” said Vicki Topping, MQN Architects partner.

ICBC has applied for a 4.9 per cent rate increase to its basic vehicle insurance rates to take effect Nov. 1.

For an average driver who now pays $1,369 a year for basic insurance, the increase would add an extra $36.

In its rate application to the B.C. Utilities Commission, ICBC is also seeking a four per cent decrease in optional coverage that would reduce that annual bill by $25.

The last rate increase was 11 per cent in 2012, coupled with a six per cent cut in optional insurance where ICBC competes with private insurers.

In an open letter to customers, Mark Blucher, interim CEO of ICBC, says the increase is needed to keep up with increasing bodily injury claims, with higher payouts as more people turn to lawyers to dispute their insurance payouts.

Blucher said injury claim volume is also rising, including crashes involving drivers distracted by smartphones, and more pedestrians and cyclists on roads.

ICBC cut 260 positions last year after an audit of its operations showed its management ranks had swelled by 41 per cent between 2007 and 2011.

Blucher said ICBC’s administrative costs amount to five cents out of every premium dollar, with 86 cents going to claim payouts.

Bodily injury claims, for pain and suffering, future care and loss of wages totalled $1.9 billion in 2012, up $165 million from the previous year and $400 million higher than five years previously.

Holmes goes to bat for the kids Kevin Mitchell

“I mean it affectionately: she’s a pit bull.”

Sports Editor

One weekend, she’s helping promote KidSport at the Vipers Golf Tournament.

The next, she’s in Vancouver for Softball B.C. meetings.

In between, she’s visiting her mom, kids and grandchildren in Alberta, running programs for parks and rec and lining up oneto-one readers for Ellison School.

Ann Holmes gets things done, often in a hurry, and never says no when asked to contribute. Traits which won her a Sport B.C. President’s Award earlier this year.

The honours go to volunteers from Sport B.C. member groups who represent the spirit of volunteerism, and whose dedication, energy and commitment make a difference.

Holmes, whose silver 2006 Toyota Corolla is neatly organized with important papers, has done everything from coaching to serving as president of Vernon Minor Fastball.

She first got involved in fastball with president Cheryl Paris and director Anne Tutte, helping them folding newsletters.

“I just went from there,” laughed Holmes.

“I’m hands-on and as my husband says, I ‘Do it for the kids.’ I was a teacher and I like fastball. I just feel I have something to give to the kids and the reward is seeing the kids learn and having fun.”

Paris, who ran minor ball for five years and coached for 20, remembers Holmes as the consummate numbers lady.

“The nice thing about Ann is she wasn’t an expert coach, but she was a really good organizer, which left me to coach, which is what I really wanted to do,” said Paris. “She organized summer camps for the little kids and tournaments almost every weekend.

That was a big job. She was our go-toperson.”

Recreation services director Doug Ross met Holmes at a Level 3 coaching course and soon after, hired her to help with volleyball leagues and several drop-in sessions.

“She is KidSport, no doubt about that,” said Ross. “Ann gets it done. I mean it affectionately: she’s a pit bull. We pay her but not much. She does it more out of the goodness of her heart. We’ve already told her she can’t leave.”

Born and raised in Truro, N.S., her father, Clifford worked for the railroad and the military so the family of five moved around a lot. Holmes graduated from high school

vernon’s Ann holmes has earned a Sport B.c. President’s Award for her tireless volunteer efforts with KidSport and other local sports organizations. in Oromotco, N.B. in 1967, the same city where her father founded the curling club.

Her mother, Shirley, 86, lives in Sherwood Park.

Holmes (nee Stewiacke) attended Teacher’s College in New Brunswick and Newfoundland. She inhertited some athletic genes from her father, who played hockey

with Sears catalogues for shinpads, and fastball.

Holmes and her husband, Bob, started a family in Woodinville, Wash. before moving to Vernon in 1991. During a fouryear stay in Washington, they billeted Petr Nedvěd of the Western Hockey League Seattle Thunderbirds.

Nedvěd, a second-round draft pick of the Canucks who spent 15 years in the NHL, left the then Czechoslovakia as a refugee on Jan. 2, 1989 at the age of 17 after playing in the international Mac’s Midget tournament in Calgary. Nedvěd was the star of the tourney, with 17 goals and nine assists.

“We billeted Stu Malgunus for one year and then Stu and Peter for a year before we had Doug Barault for a year. Petr became part of our family. He was asked to throw out the first pitch at a Mariners’ game so Jon, Becky and Miles (her children) taught him how to throw a pitch.”

She gets advice and backing from her hubby, who is retired from the re-insurance business.

“Bob is an Oregon Duck. He went there on a track scholarship out of Toronto. He was an awesome runner and in Midget, he held triple and high jump records. He’s been supportive of what I do and always supportive of our kids in anything that we do. He didn’t know much it cost to volunteer until I quit working.”

Holmes, who spent five years helping in the Vernon Curling Club office, has been involved in KidSport since 2001. She allocates funding.

“We help between 250 and 275 kids a year. It was started here by Chris Nelson, in memory of his son, Mark (died in 1997, at age 20, of brain cancer). It’s a great program and we have great support. We cover registration fees and help them get equipment through JumpStart at Canadian Tire. Mike (Melbourne) and Marg (Griffin) are great supporters at Sun Valley Source For Sports.

“Sometimes we talk to the parents and they are very appreciative. The school principals are just awesome. They validate the applications.”

A Level 2 certified curling official, Holmes has worked at some major events, including the 2008 World Ford Women’s in Vernon. She’s high on the elite curlers.

“They’re very good for the fans. At that level, a lot of athletes are unapproachable, but curlers are awesome to deal with.”

When in Vernon, she also makes time for her daughter and grandson. She also makes mouth-watering jam for family and friends.

Hoon hangs with Habs

ipers’ trainer Gord (Hoon) Cochran had to be summoned to the dance floor at Carey Price’s wedding in Kennewick, Wash. last Saturday night.

He’s not sure if he was talking hockey with Montreal Canadiens’ d-men PK Subban or Josh Gorges at the time, but he soon got the message.

“All of a sudden, I heard my name on the mic telling me it was time for the first dance,” laughed Cochran, who served in the all-star net detective’s wedding party at a nearby winery.

Price tied the knot with Angela Webber of Kevin Mitchell Kennewick, whom he met while he was playing for the WHL Tri-City Americans.

“It was a great wedding,” said Cochran. “Pricer and Ang are both laid back and the wedding was just like they are. I had a good time. It was kind of a bummer for Pricer since he had to catch a 5:15 flight to Calgary Sunday morning.”

Price looked fine in TV clips of the Team Canada orientation ball hockey sessions in Calgary, smiling and taking everything in stride. He has attended a few Viper practices in the past thanks to an invite from fellow Williams Laker Cochran, and spent time team roping at Louis Estates on Westside Road.

“We’ve been good friends since we were 10 in The Puddle,” said Cochran.

between the lines

“We played some hockey together.”

Hoon, who has good hands, wasn’t about to snag the garter at the wedding.

“I wasn’t going to catch that,” he laughed. “It was coming towards me and I took a stutter step to get out of the way.”

Brian White and Travis Moen, both of the Canadiens, were also guests.

D-man Keaton Ellerby of the L.A. Kings was the best man. Ellerby, a former Kamloops Blazer, is Price’s second cousin.

Cochran said Price is getting a quality lady with some smarts.

“I think she’s still taking some courses.

She went to Washington State and I believe she got a business degree.”

Price spent two days in late July helping former Tri-Cities’ teammates Olie Kolzig and Stu Barnes raise big money in their golf charity Desert Bash at Meadow Springs Country Club in Richland, Wash.

Kolzig, who now lives in Kelowna, co-founder Barnes and Price were the only celebrities in the tourney, which scaled back on high profile players to cut expenses and put more cash into the Carson Kolzig Foundation, which helps fund the Responding to Autism Center in Kennewick.

Price donated $5,000 in the raise the paddle event and his Montreal hockey getaway was the big-ticket auction item, selling for $4,500. A total of $60,000 was raised.

Semeniuk works for Dinos

Vernon teenager Liam Semeniuk perhaps had the coolest part-time summer job.

Veteran David Pope scored the powerplay winner as the West Kelowna Warriors outlasted the Vernon Vipers 3-1 in B.C. Hockey League exhibition action Friday night at Kal Tire Place.

Pope, an 18-year-old Edmonton product entering his third season with the Warriors, converted a feed from Liam Blackburn early in the second period.

Matt Anholt opened the scoring on West Kelowna’s first shot of the game after a turnover in Vernon’s end.

Dexter Dancs Returning Viper forward Dexter Dancs redirected a feed from Michael McNicholas over netminder Steven Myland early in the third period. The play started on a breakout, with McNicholas carrying the puck wide and spotting Dancs driving to the net.

Blackburn added an empty-netter to halt Vernon’s two-game win streak.

Vernon head coach Jason Williamson said the Vipers played well in spurts, and added he will expect them to play more cohesively once the roster is finalized and systems are put in place.

“Guys seemed nervous,” said Williamson. “It’s exhibition. They haven’t played on the same line once yet and we’re not structured at all.

“In the second, it got away from us a bit.”

Williamson still has to cut two forwards between now and Saturday, when the Vipers open the BCHL regular season at the second annual Bauer Showcase tournament at Prospera Centre

SUnday

The Grade 11 VSS Panthers’ runningback spent 11 days as the equipment assistant for the CIS University of Calgary Dinos at their McMahon Stadium training camp.

“This was my third year and I just do whatever needs to be done,” said Semeniuk, whose uncles, Todd and Art Dulaba, were fabulous football players back in the day. “I film practice and otherwise just hang out and fix helmets, shoulder pads and jerseys.”

Liam, who turns 16 in November, stays with longtime family friend and recently retired U of C sports info director Jack Neumann. “(Head coach Nill) Blake is really happy with Liam’s professionalism on the practice field,” said Neumann. “He works really hard out there.”

The 5-foot-10, 150-pound Semeniuk flew with the Dinos for their preseason game last Saturday afternoon in Quebec City against the defending Vanier Cup champion Université Laval Rouge.

“They lost 32-3,” said Liam. “They only have two returning guys on defence, but they have some good rookies coming in.”

Semeniuk plays centre in hockey, where he soon begins his second year in Midget. He doesn’t have a chance to study just the Dino runningbacks during practice.

“I just take it all in. I’ve got to know some of the players and they all treat me good. The linemen are massive and they eat a solid amount. You’ve gotta be quick on your feet to play that position and they are very fast.”

in Chilliwack.

Vernon faces the reigning Fred Page Cup champion Surrey Eagles Saturday morning (11:30), followed by a Sunday-night (6:00) tilt against the Chilliwack Chiefs.

Danny Todosychuk was solid in net for Vernon in his second straight start. Williamson expected Austin Smith, who has been injured for most of main camp, to start Vernon’s final preseason game, which went Saturday at Royal LePage Place.

Viper fans finally got a look at South Boston product Liam Coughlin, who made his exhibition debut Friday. Williamson said there were some delays in processing the American’s visa that prevented him from playing sooner.

“He created some things,” said Williamson, of the 6-foot-4 centre. “It’s quite the culture a shock for him so I’m sure he’ll get better every day.”

Coughlin is a highly touted prospect out of Catholic Memorial, a Boston prep school that produced former Viper grads Garrett Noonan, Mike Collins and Marc Hetnik.

Meanwhile, the Kelowna Rockets spread out the scoring as they brushed back the Kamloops Blazers 4-3 in their Western Hockey League preseason opener Friday night at Prospera Place.

Ryan Donaldson, Henrik Nyberg, Tyson Baillie and Cole Linaker each pocketed a single for the Rockets.

Mitch Lipon, Aspon Sterzer and Jordan Thompson replied for the Blazers, who recently signed former Viper head coach Mark Ferner as an associate.

Jake Morrisey and Jordon Cooke combined to make 14 saves for the win. Taran Kozun had 31 stops for the Blazers.

Resident stick handles for a job LISA VANDERVELDE

Morning Star Staff

Sandy Gingera is hoping NHL Hall of Famer Mark Messier can help her get a job.

Gingera, 62, has been out of a job for a year and is frustrated that her age seems to be holding off prospective employees.

So she is getting creative.

She is offering up the prized signed Mark Messier stick, that she won in 1990 in a Kelowna Rockets draw, in exchange for employment.

“I’m very capable of work and if Mark can help me, boy that would be great,” said Gingera.

The idea came from a problem-solving conversation she had with friends after telling them that she wasn’t sure if she would be able to cover next month’s rent.

“It is hard when you send out so many resumes with no word back and they don’t get to meet me,” said Gingera.

She is a regular volunteer with the Seniors Information and Resource Bureau helping fellow seniors with their cooking and cleaning and she realizes she is not the only senior struggling to

Heritage effort honoured Morning Star Staff

Another Vernon family has been recognized for its commitment to heritage.

The City of Vernon has acknowledged the restoration work Sean Chippendale and his family did to their home at 4704 20th Street.

“The north wing of this 1893 house was constructed of squared logs,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky.

“In 1910, the south section was made of poured concrete, and siding was applied to the existing structure. The covered porch now ties the two sections together.”

It was the home of Elwood Rice, former Vernon mayor and a prominent horticulturist.

In 2005, Vernon city council awarded a heritage restoration grant of $3,000 to assist with exterior

“The covered porch now ties the two sections together.”

— Rob Sawatzky

restoration work to the house.

The city’s heritage restoration grant program applies to properties listed on the heritage register in order to assist owners with the cost of restoring the exterior, foundations and roof structures of heritage buildings.

Applications are to be submitted prior to March 30 each year.

The black howler monkeys’ appearance and behaviour is uncannily human. Examine them carefully and you know you are looking at distant relatives.

Having a howl in Belize lauren kramer

Special To The Morning Star

BELIZE - “If you want to avoid monkey poop, don’t stand under this strangler fig,” cautions Geraldine Fermin.

My daughters and I are standing in a forest clearing 90 minutes north of Belize City, gazing at a troop of eight black howler monkeys that stretch lazily in the branches of

the tree directly above us.

The 20 square miles they share with some 3,500 other monkeys is loosely known as the Community Baboon Sanctuary, an area comprising seven villages in which more than 200 villagers own land.

Its name can be confusing, since baboon is the kreol word for monkey.

But in 1985, the area was identified as containing one of the largest populations of black howler monkeys in northern Central America.

Somehow, a group of concerned citizens persuaded the villagers to refrain from the slash-and-burn practices that were previously destroying the monkeys’ habitat.

With this loose promise the black howler monkeys’ longevity has been safeguarded for now, at least.

The vegetarian primates stare down at us, showing little interest until Fermin, our guide, heads into the forest and returns with one of their favorite foods: the leaves of a trumpeter plant.

With some encouragement an adult black howler hangs low enough from her branch to retrieve the offering, munching thoughtfully on the leaves before returning to the safety of higher branches.

The howler monkeys got their name from their howl, a loud, guttural sound that rips through the quiet and can be heard from over a mile away.

Usually they roar at the start and end of each day in order to space themselves from other troops, or to warn other troops that they are nearby and don’t

necessarily appreciate company.

Fermin is somewhat of a howler monkey specialist.

Cupping her hands together she emits a throaty roar that sounds more like a predatory bear than anything else.

After a few minutes a monkey purses his lips and howls back, his roar infinitely more resonant and powerful. It’s a primeval sound that catches your attention instantly.

The monkeys’ delicate, jet-black features are so intelligent and human-like, my daughters are in awe. “They look so much like us,” says one, as she watches a three-month-old primate play with its mother, seeking attention by touching her face.

A protective oneyear-old nearby tries to play mom by enfolding the infant in its embrace, but the baby moves away, determined to claim adult attention instead.

Villagers benefit from monkeys Continued from previous page We’d been glad to escape the bustling town Fort George in Belize City that day, as four cruise ships converged on the city of 70,000 and disgorged somewhere between 12,000 and 15,000 passengers and crew for several hours of exploration.

Avoiding the heavily booked cruise ship excursions, we’d instead hired a private guide to take us north into the countryside, past Belizean fast food stands offering hazelnut wine and cold coconuts, and past large iguanas sunning themselves on the rocks.

In the early afternoon of a searing hot day, the humidity has left the monkeys as robbed of energy as their human spectators. Content to lounge in the strangler fig, they will move later in the day into the middle and higher canopies of the forest. The troops eat, sleep and travel together, older females often tending to other infants besides their own in the troop.

It’s women that oversee the Community Baboon Sanctuary as well. Female representatives from

the seven villages manage and run the operation, and with funding from a Belize conservation trust they’ve created initiatives to bring income to the villagers and thereby discourage them from resorting to destructive slash-and-burn practices.

“Seven families so far have received tilapia ponds where they can raise and sell tilapia,” says Fermin.

Another six families have received funding to make home improvements so they can rent out a room as a bed and breakfast.

Guiding visitors to see the black howler monkeys is another way villagers can earn an income, and one Fermin relies on.

For the 45-minutes she spends teaching us about the monkeys, their behavior and their habitat, she confesses she’ll make $1.25 per person.

I reach into my pocket for a $10 bill to offer as a tip, suddenly embarrassed at our comparative affluence and deeply appreciative of her heartfelt concern for the monkeys’ safety, given her own precarious financial existence.

If Kai Schulz ever becomes a professional musician, he won’t need to look far for a manager.

When asked what music he liked to play, he hesitated a moment before his five-yearold sister, Mia, answered enthusiastically, “He likes Star Wars!”

The seven-year-old has been taking keyboard lessons at the Vernon Community Arts Centre (VCAC) with instructor Melly Oey for the last three years.

“I was nervous at first but I really like it, it’s fun,” said Kai, who started lessons three years ago at the suggestion of his grandma, who thought learning how to play music would be a good thing.

Kai’s mom, Hisai Schulz, said her son enjoys playing on the keyboard at home, experimenting with different sounds.

“He definitely has more appreciation for music and he can make all sort of different sounds, like guitar,” she said. “We always have music on at home, as I find it helps with their concentration, so we always do homework with music on.”

While Mia will start her own lessons when she turns six, Kai plans on continuing while also looking into drum lessons.

“I like lots of different music, and I really like the band Foster the People,” he said.

“And I like music from the game Minecraft.”

Oey has been teaching at the VCAC for the past five years. Born and raised in Indonesia, she taught music there for more than 20 years.

A former accountant and the mother of a grown daughter, Oey earned her degree through the Yamaha Music Foundation, and taught organ (Electone) for 10 years, with students ranging from kids to seniors, until she left Jakarta for Canada.

Whether she is teaching children or adults, Oey strives to offer music that her students will enjoy playing, so that could be anything from the Treehouse TV show, Bob the Builder, to the greatest hits of The Beatles.

Student Elsa Hein used to play the accordion by ear and had tried to take lessons many times in her life.

“I was never successful because my ear would always take over,” she said. “I then developed tears in my rotary cuff and sadly could not play my accordion any longer. I felt bereft without my music and acquired an electric organ.

“As I struggled to pick out tunes by ear I realized that I would be hampered by the same limitations that I had experienced with

katherine mortimer/morning Star

Ron Allen plays a tune for teacher Melly Oey in keyboard class at the Vernon Community Arts Centre. Classes for both adults and children begin this fall. the accordion.”

By chance she came across a phone number for Oey’s lessons at the VCAC and is glad she did.

“To say that Melly is excellent would be an understatement,” said Hein. “She develops her lessons to the needs of the student.

“The music Melly picks out for me is exactly what I need in order to feel I am becoming proficient. Through her gentle guidance I am developing a sense of confidence about my ability to play music.”

As the father of well-known Vernon musician Andrew Allen, student Ron Allen has a few of his own favourite songs, but admits he won’t be going on tour with his son anytime soon.

“I took lessons as a child and had been wanting to take them again since I retired, so when I saw Melly’s lessons in the VCAC brochure, I figured it was time,” said Allen.

“It was strange to sit down at a keyboard again, but Melly is very patient.”

While Allen can already read music, what he didn’t have was sheet music for his son’s songs. So Oey painstakingly transposed the music, listening to the songs on YouTube and figuring out the songs note by note.

“Some of the songs were written on guitar, not piano, so Melly gets as close to the original as possible, and he was quite pleased that I was playing them,” said Allen. “I really enjoy it and some stuff comes back to you after so many years away from it, and it’s fun to play some of the familiar tunes.

“It’s the patterning and the commitment and the practice.”

Oey welcomes students of all ages and all abilities, from beginners to experienced.

“It doesn’t matter where you’re at, I will teach you from the beginning,” she said. “I enjoy teaching so much — the dynamics always change and when my students learn to play well, it makes me very happy because that’s why I gave up my accounting business to teach full-time, and I’m glad I did because

I get so much out of it.”

Allen’s advice to other adults considering starting or returning to music lessons: “You just have to do it. If you’re interested, try it for a term and give it a try.

“After that, you just have to play — I refer to it more as playing and less as practice, this is not homework, as I’m choosing to do this, but you have to play at home.”

And Oey’s advice to her students is the same that music students have been given for generations.

“You just have to practice.”

Each session is 10 weeks, with adults taking a one-hour lesson each week, while kids can choose from a 45-minute lesson or a one-hour lesson. If they’re really young, Oey recommends just 45 minutes.

To register, drop by the VCAC, located at the entrance to Polson Park on Highway 6, call 250-542-6243 or see the Web site at www.vernonarts.ca (the new site will be up and running soon).

The Way I see IT

Michele Blais

house for most of my first year until the big school – four classrooms, gym, library, offices – was completed. The kids were bussed to our school, and then the different pairs of grades went to another one-room school house.

When my youngest was in Grade 3 and they were doing pioneer days, he suggested I come to his class for show and tell, since I was a living pioneer having gone to a one-room school.

Complete with desks that were joined, and boy and girl separate entrances.

My memory bank sees it as a great time.

I was the fourth child in our family, the teacher knew all about me from my brothers.

They described me as loud and sassy. Of course I was a quiet child in school, leaving the voice and sassiness for my brothers.

Mrs. Leitch led many of our classes outside, either under the big tree for reading or for art time, where we would visit the farm next door to look at the animals. Our phys. ed classes were also always held outside.

The new big school was on a large acreage complete with a pond and a forest bordering it. These were both incorporated into our lessons, looking for frogs, birds, and insects in the pond, skating on it in the winter, and going into the woods for nature walks. No school would allow those today as being seen as too much risk.

But as I reminisce about the old days, there is much to appreciate about today.

Schools have developed curriculum to keep students really interested and to provide a variety of courses that reflect the world past the classroom.

There is state-ofthe-art equipment in some schools, theatres, computer labs, gyms, science labs, and teachers with all kinds of amazing skills and enthusiasm they bring to their work.

They also spend more time on social issues and responsibilities.

More and more we look to the school for behavioral lessons, anti-bullying programs, communication skills, sex education, and on and on. In many ways it makes such great sense as the students are there, they are in a laboratory to test the new skills every day of what works and doesn’t. However, teachers are still working on the academic goals as a priority.

Teachers carry a big

load and we need to remember that. It is a big responsibility and when kids get great teachers they connect with, who are able to create that wonderful environment of holistic learning, it is magical.

That’s what I hope for my young friend that her school experience is magical. It won’t be everyday, but there will be many days and moments when the “ah ha” light within switches on.

When the lads started school life, it became very different.

Our small world of home life and activities expanded significantly.

It was slow at first and then sometimes seemed all consuming.

Organizing lunches the night before and creating ones that would be eaten as well as finding regular time and a special place for homework was challenging.

Then there were the school meetings.

Parents and teachers are partners in your child’s education; volunteering in the classroom benefits your child and you as you can observe what goes on, who their friends are, and where they may need support.

Getting to know their friends is equally important by organizing play dates, meeting their parents, and staying connected.

The parent circle is also very important. It is important for advice, support and for your

EDUCATION FOR ETERNITY

kids to know you care and want to know who they are with.

I met some wonderful people through my children’s playmates who were friends for years.

I miss talking to the lads every day about what was going on in school, sharing their work, discussing their challenges in and out of the classroom, being a presence as much as I could, despite life’s demands.

The night time routine was such a loving way to connect, same as meal times, or driving in the car.

The extra projects, sports, music, theatre, all of them can be such a great way for your child to learn so many skills and also have fun.

The interest in their school and activities, all of it continues into adulthood.

Only now I don’t read night time stories, I read texts.

What happens with us as parents is school is the beginning of the separation from us, we start to lose our place as the expert. Mrs. Eng will become the expert, and then it will be Scott D. or some other student who knows all.

We have to share our children with the world in a bigger way.

So when you see the tears on the first day and the longer than normal hugs, understand the parents are just having a tough time letting go, seeing their little ones setting off into the world, knowing life will never be the same.

A theatre for all

The Vernon Performing Arts Centre opens its doors and stage to a jam-packed season Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

What do Romeo and Juliet, Sarah McLachlan, John the Baptist, and Princess Warrior Marg Delahunty have in common?

Not a whole heck of a lot, except that they are making their way —in some form or another— to Vernon this year.

Some of Canada’s most beloved talents, in just about every aspect of the arts, are part of the 2013-14 Vernon Performing Arts Centre (VPAC) society’s 12th annual presentation season, which honestly has a little something for everyone.

The VPAC’s artistic director Erin Kennedy, along with executive director Pamela Burns Resch and the society board, are presenting performances for all occasions. There’s comedy, dance, theatre, and children’s entertainment. However, this year they have added something new for music lovers.

“We have two new series within our special presentations,” said Kennedy, who is the primary “shopper” for the artists who come through the centre’s doors.

One of the series, she adds, is a “nice, intimate way to enjoy chamber music.”

Called Morning Melodies, the four concerts take place mid-morning on a Tuesday in the VPAC’s Marie Fleming Hall.

“There will only be 65 seats, so it is very intimate,” said Kennedy. “This is a show for the populace that might not want to go to a show at night. Some are not comfortable with driving at night or they may have young kids that they want to expose to classical music.”

Hosted by Vancouver’s Sarah Hagen, a classical pianist, the series opens with cellist Ariel Barnes Oct. 8 and continues with tenor Benjamin Butterfield Nov. 12, and violinist Jennie Press May 13. Hagan will accompany the artists for all shows and will give a solo performance as part of the series Feb. 18.

A series subscription for all the concerts is available as well as individual tickets for each concert. The centre is also looking at providing a bus that will pick up residents at local senior homes in the city.

Also new for this season are two on-stage concerts, where the audience will forgo the

main auditorium to sit on the stage.

“We will be building a stage on the stage,” said Kennedy. “We learned from last year that 750 seats is sometimes too much for an intimate concert experience so making 100 is much more effective.”

The concerts will welcome Canadian pop music singer-songwriter-producer-arranger Royal Wood Jan. 21 and a double bill with alt. country crooner Del Barber and FrancoAppalachian-bluegrass quartet Oh My Darling Feb. 17.

“I saw both of them in Vancouver and they tell really great stories and have a great stage presence,” said Kennedy.

Two other special presentations will guarantee laughs with some of Canada’s top comedians coming to town.

Things kick off with the Ultimate Comedy Show, Oct. 19, hosted by master improviser and Comedy Inc. star Roman Danylo.

The show features fellow comedian David Milchard, who has gone viral with his online series, Convos with my Two-Year Old, and will feature comedy, music and sketches.

And yes, the woman who scared Toronto Mayor Rob Ford enough for him to call 911 is coming to town.

Mary Walsh, so memorable on This Hour Has 22 Minutes, is reprising some of her favourite roles, including Marg Delahunty, that fearless warrior princess, as the headliner of the 10th annual I am Woman, Hear me Laff for International Women’s Day, March 8.

“We will have a lineup of female comedians for the first half and then Mary will come on for the second half with a selection from her new show, Dancing with Rage, where she navigates everything from politics to the absurdities of everyday life,” said Kennedy.

Families who are looking for a night out will want to check out the VPAC’s annual birthday bash (yep, it’s been 12 years since the theatre officially opened its doors) and this year is a treat coming all the way from China with the Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats, Oct. 4.

“They have their visas so are they are ready to come here,” said Kennedy. “It will be a great family show with acrobatic feats, balancing and more.”

It isn’t the birthday bash that is opening the theatre season this year, instead it is the return of Lucas Myers, the Nelson theatre-mind best known for building a deck on the VPAC’s stage last year in his appropriately named show, Deck.

Myers brings his new one-man production,

alberta Ballet returns to the Vernon Performing arts Centre’s stage this november for their performance of Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, featuring the music of sarah mcLachlan Hello Baby to the stage Sept. 21.

“It is basically a lecture by a father to his newborn baby and explores the experience of becoming a parent from the male perspective.

It also includes funny songs,” said Kennedy. “(Myers) is a charismatic performer so it’s always fun to spend a few hours with him.”

Also coming in September is the first dance performance of the season with a contemporary dance company out of Southern California.

On Sept. 28, Backhaus Dance performs two pieces: Incandescent, which explores light in both a physical and spiritual sense, and Elasticity of the Almost, where the dancers will maneuver around the stage filled with thousands of red balls.

“They are a fluid mix of classical and modern but are contemporary in style,” said

Kennedy. “They perform to great contemporary music such as DeVotchKa and Andrew Bird.”

Another upcoming dance performance includes the return of Alberta Ballet, Nov. 3, who performed so eloquently to the music of Joni Mitchell in the Fiddle and the Drum from a few seasons back. This time they are bringing their new production Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, featuring the music and poetry of Sarah McLachlan, to the stage.

Another top-notch Canadian dance company is returning Feb. 4. Ballet Jörgen, who presented the sold-out Swan Lake last year, is once again presenting a full ballet with Romeo and Juliet.

“The swan from last year’s Swan Lake will be playing Juliet,” said Kennedy.

Arts Make it a family outing for PAC’s kids series Continued from B4

Also on stage March 1 will be the reenergized Ballet Kelowna.

The company almost collapsed last year due to low funding, but was resurrected for another season, and will be enjoying its last performance with founding artistic director David LaHay. Closing the dance season is Shay Kuebler’s Karoshi, April 12.

Kuebler is from Vancouver’s 605 Collective and has a background in hip hop and martial arts and will be bringing a group of male dancers in a very physical performance, which will include live taiko drummers.

The centre’s theatre season continues with the return of Vancouver’s Arts Club Theatre (Buddy, A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline, Mom’s the Word Remixed) and their new play Boeing Boeing, Nov. 7.

“It’s written in a sexy Mad Men style, but instead of an ad man, it’s about a pilot who has three fiancés on the go at the same time and, as you can imagine, things go awry,” said Kennedy.

The Old Trout Public Workshop (The Erotic Anguish of Don Juan and Famous Puppet Death Scenes) is also returning to the VPAC with its new “adult” puppet show. Evolution of Happiness, Jan. 28, is a puppet documentary evolving from blissful prehistoric humanity to the present-day pursuit of happiness.

The centre would be remiss without its one big, full-scale, musical and this year, from New York-based Moonglow Entertainment in association with Toronto’s Draydon Entertainment, is the Broadway classic Godspell.

With music composed by Stephen Schwartz, whom audiences will know as the mastermind behind Wicked, the show of Biblical proportions takes the stage Feb. 11.

For those looking for something a little darker, Edmonton’s Catalyst Theatre, an award winning company that normally tours to larger centres, is bringing its

Famed Canadian children’s entertainer Fred Penner opens the kids series at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Oct. 6 with some favourite tunes such as The Cat Came Back. play Nevermore March 7.

“We’ve been working on bringing them here for the past three years,” said Kennedy.

Nevermore is based on the imaginary life and mysterious death of Edgar Allen Poe and features high design and is stylized as an original musical.

“It has a storybook quality to it that is like a pop-up book,” said Kennedy, adding the show is primarily for 13 years and older due to some scary scenes, but will be presented to local secondary school students.

For more family-friendly fare, the VPAC’s kids series has something for the child in everyone. The series opens with one of Canada’s most loved children’s entertainer, Fred Penner, Oct. 6, performing his hits such as The Cat Came

Back, Sandwiches and Riders in the Sky A number of children friendly puppet shows are also coming to the stage, starting with America’s Got Talent semifinalists

Lightwire Theatre, who take the stage Nov. 23 with their visually stunning adaptation of The Ugly Duckling and The Tortoise and the Hare.

“The company uses life-size puppets and

new light-wire technology that makes them come alive as well as stunning neon lighting.

You won’t want to miss it,” said Kennedy, adding the show is a special presentation, with higher pricing, and is included as a bonus show in the kids’ series subscription.

Puppets will also enact the steampunkinspired adaptation of the Jules Verne classic 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, presented by Portland’s Tears of Joy Theatre Jan. 26.

And finally, Figura Theatre will present Peter and the Wolf, Feb. 23. Set to the Prokofiev score, the show will feature the master techniques of the national puppeteer of Iceland, Bernd Ogrodnik, using beautiful, handmade puppets.

Subscriptions and single tickets for all the Performing Arts Centre society’s 2013/14 series are available at the Ticket Seller. Call 250549-SHOW (7469) for more information.

fathered a child with a nymph. When a god fathers a child with a nymph, the result is a cyclops, or the ocular impaired for the politically correct. Just wanted you to know that in case you might be tempted to seek out a nymph or two.)

Good special effects add to the adventure.

This film is shot in Super 35, although the credits indicate it was “filmed in Panavision.”

Not many “stars” in this one: Stanley Tucci is Mr. D (Dionysus); Anthony Head is Chiron; Nathan Fillion (TV’s Castle) is Hermes; Logan Lerman (Perks of Being a Wallflower) returns as Percy, and Alexandra Daddario plays Annabeth.

(Daddario actually found out she was prone to sea sickness while filming the yacht and lifeboat scenes — lucky girl!)

I liked this. Take your grandchildren if they are younger than 12, take the 10-year-old from next door. Don’t take anyone expecting any form of sophistication, but it will do for someone who wants a simple story, some magic, real seahorses, and some fantasy.

I give Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters 3 1/2 reels out of five.

Guests can tour the heritage ranch by stagecoach before sitting down to a steak dinner with all the fixings, provided by Cattlemen’s Club Restaurant, whose accolades include a Best Restaurant Okanagan Life readers’ choice award.

The magazine, which publishes 10 times a year, first came off the press in September 1988. With a circulation from Salmon Arm to Osoyoos, Okanagan Life has partnered with heritage sites, art galleries and restaurants to celebrate from the north to the south of the Okanagan Valley.

“Our celebrations extend from September until the end of the year, and are sure to be a showcase of some of the best the Okanagan offers,” said Byrne.

“From the beach to the mountaintop, we have some amazing adventures planned for our readers.”

The Vernon Public Art Gallery and Silver Star Mountain Resort are in the lineup for the North Okanagan parties.

Tickets for Friday’s show are $39.95 and are available at both O’Keefe Ranch or online at okanaganlife.com.

Arts Celtic choir welcomes men Morning Star Staff

After two years of being a women’s choir, the Okanagan Celtic Choir, under the direction of Cod Gone Wild’s Andrew Mercer, will be adding men into the mix for this year’s choir season.

With a busy year planned, it will be a welcomed addition to the fun-natured choral group to round out an already full sound.

Although musical ability is an asset, there is no expectation to be able to read music or have any choral experience.

“It is really more about sharing the gift of singing with one another and having fun doing it,” said Mercer, who is just rounding out a very busy summer touring with Cod Gone Wild. “I’m looking forward to getting back to a bit more of a routine and working with the choir once again this year, for what promises to be a fun and exciting season.”

This year, the choir will be performing at several engagements throughout the eightmonth choir season and they won’t have much time to get ready as they will be performing their first engagement at the Nov. 9 Kalamalka Pipe Band Celtic Concert at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre, where the choir will be performing a couple of numbers.

The choir will also be performing again this year with Cod Gone Wild at a few of their St. Patrick’s Day performances in the Okanagan, in particular their popular St. Patrick’s Day show at the VPAC, which this year will mark the release of the Cod’s third studio album.

The choir will be

opening the shows once again and will be joining the band on stage to sing a couple of the songs from the upcoming release.

The Okanagan Celtic Choir will be meeting in Vernon on Wednesday evenings from 7 to 8:30

p.m. All interested male and female singers over the age of 16 should contact Mercer directly at andrew@codgonewild.com or at 250-3071954 for more information and to reserve a spot for this year’s season.

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist susan carrie

We all know that smoking is bad for our health. it has been shown that middle aged men who smoke show a more rapid decline in brain function as they age compared to men who don’t smoke. so here is another active step male smokers can make to reduce their risk of alzheimer’s and other dementias.

Quit smoking. if you have children, it is good to have a digital thermometer in the house to take their temperature when they are ill. The advantage of the new digital units is that they can record temperatures in the mouth, armpit or rectum in under a minute. The old mercuryfilled thermometer are no longer recommended. The ear thermometers re not recommended for newborns. it is always interesting when research is done on a certain food and its effect on disease. some good studies have shown a reduction in the risk of getting Parkinson’s Disease when people eat peppers two to three times per week. no one is quite sure why but making them part of your diet can’t hurt.

Vision problems in the elderly can affect how medications are taken. Tell your pharmacist if you have problems reading the prescription labels on your medication. There are ways of making the printing larger or dispensing the medications in special packaging.

We have many ways of helping you to take your medications safely and accurately. Talk to our pharmacists for advice.

Medicinal marijuana buds in Vernon Graeme Corbett Business Editor

The use of medical marijuana has reached a new high in Vernon.

Since it opened five weeks ago, The Herbal-Health Centre THC Dispensary already has a membership of more than 100 patients who use cannabis for its therapeutic and pain managing properties.

Located in a 2,500 squarefoot unit in the Alpine Centre on Kalamalka Lake Road, the dispensary offers 19 strains of medical marijuana available in an array of forms – bud, oils, tinctures, creams, salves and baked goods.

In order to access treatment, patients must be referred to the members-only clinic by a doctor and have their application processed by Health Canada.

Imre Kovacs, who is one of five partners at the Herbal Heath Centre, is excited to see medical marijuana gain more mainstream acceptance, but tampers his enthusiasm with the knowledge that more education and awareness is needed, both with the public and within the medical profession.

“One of the things we’re trying to achieve here is something of a community,” said Kovacs, who formerly operated a licensed marijuana growing operation.

“Cannabis medicine in the mainstream is just in its infancy.

The experience of patients and other people who have used cannabis medicinally, that come together and share those experiences, is really important for us.”

The facility boasts a modern design, with a bright, clean and professional atmosphere. Like any doctor’s office, there is a front reception area and lobby. But only members (a requirement of Health Canada) are permitted through to the dispensary and adjoining Vapour Lounge in the back.

Kovacs said it was necessary to maintain a professional (and visible) workspace in order for the dispensary to distance itself from the seedy subculture often associated with marijuana and the people who deal it illegally.

“We’re not trying to hide anything,” said Kovacs. “As far as we’re concerned, there is no stigma.

Graeme Corbett/morninG Star

tara rendall (left) and Imre Kovacs, along with three other company partners, are offering medicinal marijuana treatment through the the Herbal-Health Centre tHC Dispensary on Kalamalka Lake road.

“We know that’s still out there, but that’s really changing over the last couple years, particularly because so many people in the baby boomer generation have had positive results.

“More and more health care officials are coming online with that too.”

Kovacs said the dispensary’s clientele includes people suffering from multiple sclerosis and other neurological and degenerative conditions, as well as gastrointestinal diseases such as Crohn’s and colitis.

“A lot of it is reflective of the anti-stress and anti-anxiety benefits that cannabis can have,” he

said. “It can be used for all sorts of pain management conditions, like arthritis or chronic pain from accidents or sports injuries.”

Kovacs added there is more and more research being conducted on the cannabis plant itself, which is leading to a better understanding of its medicinal properties.

“There’s more and more understanding of the different roles THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive ingredient of marijuana) and CBD (cannabidiol) play in the medicinal application of cannabis,” said Kovacs.

“The THC is what we’re more familiar with. It’s the part that gets

“It can be used for all sorts of pain management conditions.”

— Imre Kovacs you stoned. The CBD is becoming more associated with the therapeutic qualities.”

There are two predominant types of cannabis – sativa and indica – each with its own qualities.

The high produced from indica bud is a physical high that provides a deep relaxation feeling compared

to sativa, which is regarded as more energetic and uplifting.

The dispensary’s product comes from licensed growers who have a surplus to what their prescription calls for. And by offering 19 different strains, some of which are a hybrid of the two varieties, Kovacs said they are able to target specific illnesses.

“The selection is vast, depending on what your ailment is. There can be a trial period where a patient has to sample a few different strains before they find what works best for them.”

The delivery methods of marijuana have come a long way since the days of Zig Zags and bongs.

More users are turning to vaporizers, which offer a healthier way of inhaling the drug.

Kovacs said oral consumption of goods containing pot butter is also increasingly popular with members, as are topical applications like creams and salves. The latter two have no psychoactive properties, which is ideal for members who don’t want to get high.

In addition to purchasing marijuana from the dispensary, members also have the option of sampling and medicating in the Vapour Lounge, a well-ventilated common area that features comfortable couches and a flat-screen TV. For members choosing to get high in the lounge, Kovacs said they should either have a designated driver, or be prepared to walk.

One of the challenges of gaining acceptance for medical marijuana is the drug’s association with the stoner culture. Kovacs said there is a distinction between patients who use it for legitimate medical purposes and recreational users, who have a tendency to be perceived as unproductive members of society.

“Certainly, you have examples of that, but those are people who are abusing it, or not using it appropriately,” said Kovacs. “If you want to be productive and alert, use the strain that’s appropriate.

“Most of the people using medical marijuana are normal, productive, working people. They’re mitigating symptoms of one kind or another, but they’re working throughout the day.”

A&W orders up money for MS

Kidney donation

A&W Food Services of Canada raised more than $1.45 million for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada through its fifth annual Cruisin’ for a Cause in late August.

A&W restaurants across Canada helped raise funds through the sale of cut-outs, customer contributions, and donations of $1 from every Teen Burger sold on Aug. 22. Cruisin’ for a Cause also raised awareness of multiple sclerosis through a variety of events including classic car gatherings, retro music, A&W Root Beer chugging contests, car hop service and car hop relay races, car washes, and Great A&W Root Bear visits.

In total, Cruisin’ for a Cause has raised more than $5 million over the past five years to help those living with MS in communities across the country.

“This is a dream come true for all of us at A&W who hoped to reach this milestone in our fifth year,” said Paul Hollands, president of A&W Canada. “The ongoing enthusiasm and commitment to this very important cause has grown each and every year.

“I would like to thank and congratulate all of our customers, employees, franchisees, car clubs, the MS Society and other supporters across Canada who helped us reach this significant goal.”

The top-three fundraising restaurants this year were all in. Alberta. Leading the pack was Grande Prairie, which raised $24,636, followed by two locations in Fort McMurray, each raising $23,074 and $22,359.

Salary vs dividends

ur personal and corporate income tax structure is as fair as it has ever been.

It is what accountants refer to as being fully integrated. This means that at the end of the day, whether you pay yourself a salary or a dividend or a combination of the two, when you take the income taxes paid at the corporate level and those paid personally, the combined taxes should be the same.

That said, nothing in life is perfect. In almost all cases, there is a discrepancy of one or two percentage points that can work for you, or against you, and potentially influence your decision on how you compensate yourself.

What’s the difference – Salaries are an expense to the company, so all tax is borne by the individual on the personal tax return. Dividends are paid out of retained corporate income that has already been subject to corporate tax.

When shareholders receive dividends and include them on their personal income tax returns, they will receive a dividend tax credit essentially equal to Blair Gronlund the taxes already paid at the corporate level to prevent any double-dipping by the tax man.

Dividends are investment income – They are a return on your shares. As such, they are not subject to normal payroll deductions and charges such as CPP and EI premiums, provincial payroll/health taxes or workers’ compensation premiums. They are also not subject to a withholding tax at source, although if you continually take all dividends, you will likely be subject to quarterly income tax installments as you can’t wait until you file your tax return each year to give the government its cut. Dividends are a very clean source of compensation in this regard.

Dividend benefits – In many provinces, taking dividends from income taxed at the lowest corporate tax rate results in an all-out tax savings of a couple percentage points. When combined with the avoidance of CPP premiums, the savings can quickly add up, significantly influencing many people’s compensation decision.

Another benefit to dividends is that unlike salary, they are an effective means of income splitting with family members

Guest Column

who may own shares in the corporation directly, or indirectly through a family trust.

Dividends are not subject to the same reasonability test as salaries are; salaries limit the amount you can pay family members to an amount similar to that you would pay an arm’s length person for performing the same duties. Basically, dividends are a much more flexible and defendable vehicle for income splitting within the family.

However, dividends should not be paid to children under the age of 18 to avoid the punitive kiddie tax.

Salary summary – Salary is subject to all of the deductions/ charges mentioned above, but does offer some benefits in terms of providing pensionable earnings for CPP purposes (if you are interested in participating in the plan), generating RRSP/IPP deduction room (which dividends do not since they are investment income and not earned income) and qualifying for the basic non-refundable employment tax credit on your annual personal income tax return.

Some form of salary also helps to justify non-taxable benefits provided to the owner-manager such as health and dental insurance coverage.

Salary benefits – With salary comes the ability to contribute to an RRSP/IPP, and with those investment vehicles comes creditor protection, which may be more important to professionals and certain other business owners who have limited means of creditor-proofing their assets.

A word of caution – Regardless of which compensation method or combination you choose, you need to ensure your disability insurance coverage is not inadvertently impacted as a result of any change.

Hormones Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy.

What can I do?

A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder HOW TO DEFEND MAY BE UNCLEAR Carrie Underwood, whose singing career started when she won “American Idol” in 2005, said, “If something can be said to make an awkward moment even worse, I’m going to say it.”

Some bridge bids are intended primarily to make the next player’s position awkward. And in this deal there were several uncomfortable moments.

How would you critique the auction? What should happen in five spades after West leads the diamond ace?

After North’s one-diamond opening, South, with a gamegoing hand, planned to bid first clubs, then spades, then spades again to show his 5-6. Next, West made

a three-heart weak jump overcall when four hearts would have been better. If East had a heart fit, they would have taken a lot of tricks; if East was very short in hearts, West was already in trouble.

It was sensible for North to rebid four clubs; South rated to have at least five. And the singleton heart looked good.

Now East made a really aggressive bid with five hearts. However, South continued with five spades, strongly suggesting at least 5-6 in the black suits. And that silenced everyone.

West led the diamond ace, but then did not know what to do. If South had the last diamond, West could continue with the diamond two, a suit-preference signal

for clubs. But with this layout, West had to shift to the heart two (again, suit preference) to get the key club ruff.

Since East’s five-heart jump strongly suggested a shapely hand with a singleton or void, West understandably led the diamond two at trick two, so the contract made with an overtrick. Tough!

In Loving Memory of

While surrounded by his family, Ernest Robert Nield passed peacefully on August 26th /2013 at Hospice House.

He was predeceased by his parents, Thomas William and Sarah Nield, and most recently his brother, William, all of England.

He is survived by his best friend and wife of 54 years, Norma; son Mark Nield (Kathleen) of Vernon; daughter Julie French (Duī) of Cochrane; and son Howard Clearman (Anne) of Pasadena. He is also remembered by: his sister BeƩy Ardern (Lawrence) of Calgary; sister-in-law Linda Jones (Eric) of St. Catherines; and sisterin-law Audrey Nield of England; grandchildren: Madelynn (Geoī), Arron, Tori, Michael, Jeremy (Amber), Jamie, and Ayla; his 4 great-grandchildren: Keira, Riley, Kaden, and WyaƩ; as well as many nieces, nephews and edžtended family members throughout Canada and England.

Ernie was born in Manchester, England on January 27th, 1927. Growing up during the war, he went to work as a young teenager to help support his family in the coal business where he learned at very early age the ethic of hard work and an honest dollar. He married his Įrst wife, Beryl, and had his Įrst son, Howard, before coming to the USA in the early ‘50’s. Unfortunately, the marriage dissolved and Ernie returned to England where he married Norma and they had two children, Mark and Julie.

Dad’s health predicated him having to leave England’s wet climate and moving the family to Canada in 1968, Įrst seƩling in Falkland on a large farm. Realinjing that farming was perhaps not his calling, the nedžt move was shorter and in 1970 moved to Vernon. Relying on his knowledge and edžperience of having owned and operated kennels and quaranƟne secƟon for Manchester, Ernie built the Commonage Kennels and became the pound keeper. Throughout Dad’s many various businesses he owned, he always tried to provide business opportuniƟes that he and Mom could operate together and provide the kids with some chances to learn and work with them. Some of their endeavours included the Hobby/ Model Shop, making candies (Okanagan Candies ), doll furniture, Okanagan Ribbons, Roberts & Roberts Screw Manufacturing, Video Movies and Okanagan Pillows/Duvets. Dad and Mom worked together as partners for their enƟre marriage. Whenever you saw either of them, you would know the other wasn’t far away.

Ernie’s family would like to thank the wonderful staī at Hospice House for their care and hugs.

A CelebraƟon of Ernie’s Life will be held at All Saints Anglican Church on Tuesday, September 3rd, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. Refreshments and social to follow in the church hall. /n lieu of Ňowers, donaƟons may be made in Ernie’s memory to Hospice House, 3506-27th Avenue, Vernon, B. C. V1T 1S4. Arrangements are in the care of Vernon Funeral Home.

Stuart aƩended UBC where he graduated with a B. Comm., and then went on to aƩain his C.A. He worked in private pracƟce in Vancouver before starƟng a career with B.C. Hydro. /t was his work at Hydro that gave him and his family the chance to move to Vernon. He loved the Okanagan and the opportuniƟes it provided, especially the chance to be at Silver Star, where he enjoyed weekends skiing, snowshoeing, and visiƟng with friends at the family retreat in the cabin colony. He loved to sit and read the Economist while stoking the Įre.

He also enjoyed the Ɵme he spent working in his lovely garden and was very proud of the results of his labour.

Many friends and community groups beneĮƩed from his generosity with his Ɵme and talents.

Over the years he served as president for both the Silver Star Ski Club and Silver Star Property Owners Assoc., and as treasurer of the Vernon Public Art Gallery and Alexis Park Church.

He had never been happier than in the short Ɵme since he reƟred from Hydro. He started his own business, and used the new found free Ɵme to get involved in community pursuits. /t was giving to others that he found the most rewarding.

Stuart was very proud of the accomplishments of his two sons who have both obtained degrees in business, and was looking forward to seeing Graham follow in his footsteps as a CA. A celebraƟon of life will be held at a later date.

Those wishing to make contribuƟons in Stuart’s memory are encouraged to donate to the Vernon Public Art Gallery or the charity of their choice.
