Church puts Hurlburt up for sale ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

It’s best described as rustic, snuggled in among the trees on the eastern shores of Okanagan Lake, 15 or so kilometres from downtown Vernon and a few kilometres shy of Ellison Provincial Park. Thousands of marshmallows and wieners have been roasted in its firepit; thousands of campers have made lifelong friendships and have laid awake at night in the bunks of one of the six non-insulated cabins listening to the bats in the trees outside. It is Camp Hurlburt, operated by Vernon’s Trinity United Church, which, for more than 80 years, thrived in the summers, full of campers aged five to 17 growing a relationship with God. Soon, however, the camp will be but a memory as the church has made the agonizing decision to put the nearly three-acre property up for sale. “The decision was reached after extensive consultation with the congregation,” said Barry Dorval, a past Trinity United Church board member. “We had been wrestling with the issue of how to move forward with the camp for a number of years.” Camp Hurlburt began in 1931 on its present Okanagan Lake site with the church taking over the operation from the Camp Hurlburt Association in 1967. Estimates on the number of campers that have attended range between 25,000 and 40,000, and Hurlburt has also been used by school districts for field trip outings in May, June or September, as well as rented by families for family reunions. But as the camp aged, so did its facilities and the aging infrastructure of the 83-year-old camp needs extensive upgrading. A fundraising campaign launched in 2006 to rebuild Camp Hurlburt was unsuccessful, reaching less than a quarter of its $3 million goal. The camp suspended operations in 2012, but held an abbreviated

There has been no camp activity this year. “The physical plant was definitely in trouble,” said Dorval. “The craft hall is no longer usable. The water system doesn’t have city water and sewer, and the water system needed significant repairs. We had intended to redevelop the site but that triggers new realities in terms of zoning and regulations. “Bringing it onto the sewer system would have been a massive undertaking.” With the end of the camp looming, the church turned to its congregation of nearly 500 for guidance. “We held a dialogue process,”

said Trinity United Rev. Jeff Seaton. “We organized opportunities for the congregation to sit together in groups last fall, and, of course, there were diverse opinions, but we had them talk about what mattered to them, the history of the camp and their attachment to it, but also talk about their dreams and goals for what we might do as a congregation to serve youth and families in our community. “In the end, we came to the idea that we love what we have been able to do with the camp but, with heavy hearts, we realized that can’t be sustained into the future in a way we’d like.” Added past Trinity United board chairperson Warren Grabinsky: “It’s a decision I certainly agree

with.” A straw vote of Trinity’s congregation showed more than 80 per cent in favour of the church’s vision to put the camp up for sale in order to help with more extensive yearround programming for youth, young adults and young families. “What we can say at this point is Trinity is exploring a range of options for the sale, including public use such as a park subject to zoning, local bylaws and environmental regulations,” said Seaton. That 2006 fundraising campaign, with the goal of collecting $3 million, raised $673,666 of which $346,377 came from congregation members and the remaining $327,291 came from the Vernon community.

Signs point way to rarely used lots on the signage but with no seconder, the motion died. Council voted in favour of spending up to $30,000 this year for the signage though Spiers was against it, and councillors Catherine Lord and Brian Quiring were absent from the meeting. Staff also asked council to consider the development of what it calls a wayfinding strategy in 2015. “This can provide a multitude of benefits for residents, visitors and businesses,” said Corbett. “Signage can be used for all types of travellers and can be provided at different scales for vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.” A visitor and wayfinding sign system was developed in 2006 but the signs have become outdated and do not include the new branding of the city and DVA. A budget for such a strategy in 2015 has yet to be finalized.

Mill ready to resume work Morning Star Staff

Coldstream Lumber will be back in operation Monday, less than a week after the major fire at the mill. “The fire out at our plant which destroyed both of our kilns reminds us that anything can happen at any time despite all precautions,” said Johnal Lee, Coldstream Lumber president. Investigations into the blaze recently revealed that the cause of the fire was electrical. “Contrary to some reports, our kilns were inspected and found to be up to code on July 16 by the BC Safety Authority,” said Lee. “Our new procedures for fire safety had recently been updated and sent to the Coldstream Fire Department. “It is our belief that those new procedures along with an extremely skilled fire department saved lives and the rest of our mill.” Lee says the mill has been able to use the downtime to pave the yard before full operations begin

Monday for the 40 employees. Alternate kiln drying arrangements will be made and Lee says the unfortunate disaster will not affect production. Coldstream Fire Chief Shane Code confirms that the mill was proactive and had even recently been in contact with him reviewing their fire safety plan. “I am encouraged that the mill was recently inspected by the BC Safety Federation and was checked for a variety of hazards with nothing found.” Code applauds these efforts as well as those of staff on scene that day. “We could not have handled this fire as well as we did without the direct help and support of the mill staff. I certainly hope that the mill gets back on its feet and rebounds from this event, and moves forward as the sustainable and productive Coldstream business they’ve been for the last 65 years.”

Those looking to beat the heat by splashing into Wood Lake are being advised otherwise.

Swim advisories have been issued at Reiswig Regional Park and Beasley Park on Wood Lake in Lake Country. and posted swim advisory signs on the adjoining Beasley Park on Wood Lake until further

notice due to poor water quality. “The science of water quality is complicated, but it is always good to remember: lake water is not pristine, and beach water quality can fluctuate due to a number of factors including lake currents, runoff and the outflow of creeks, changing environmental factors and waterfowl and animal waste,” states the district. “Additionally, water quality is typically poorer in the summer when the warm weather escalates bacterial growth and swimmers stir up the lake bottom.”

Three under-utilized parking areas in Vernon are getting directional signage. City council voted in favour of a staff request to spend $30,000 of unexpended funds from the 2013 budget for the design and installation of vehicle directional signs to the Bennett lot on 29th Avenue, the Vernon block on 31st Avenue and the parkade. “We understand a longstanding issue for council, committees, residents, etc. has been proper signage of our under-utilized parking areas in our city centre,” said Cleo Corbett, long range planner for the city. “The (Downtown Vernon Association) DVA is also trying to encourage people to park in these areas to alleviate pressure from metered, on-street parking locations.” Coun. Bob Spiers questioned spending

$30,000 “to direct people to three parking lots.” When he asked if the price tag included a consultant, Corbett answered yes. “We do need a transportation engineer to analyze things,” she said. “Every parking lot has to be signed from all different areas to that location and direct people back. Our in-house staff has indicated they don’t have time to finish this.” Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe voted in favour of the request, saying the issue has been “talked about forever.” “We’ve gone over the parking issue so often and every single time people talk about there is no appropriate signage to let people know where parking is,” said O’Keefe. “The $30,000 is not a lot of money. We’ve done nothing but complain about lack of signage to those lots forever.” Spiers motioned to spend only $15,000

Mixed martial arts bylaw seeks public input roger knox Morning Star Staff

The public can have a say on the future of professional mixed martial events in Vernon.

The city gave three readings to a bylaw Monday that would ban such professional events at any of its facilities. A public hearing is

now scheduled prior to the start of a regular council meeting at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 8. The city originally planned a bylaw that

banned both professional and amateur cards, but removed amateur from the bylaw as those tournaments are sanctioned provincially.

“The recommendation (to ban events) was based on the health and well-being of the participants and especially youth,” said Will Pearce, chief

administrative officer.

Suspected drug lab checked ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Vernon RCMP officers, with help from a specialized drug team from the Lower Mainland, were investigating a suspected drug lab in a home in the middle of the city Friday. Police, along with Vernon Fire Rescue Services members, converged on one side of a duplex in the 1700 block of 41st Avenue at around 2:30 p.m. “I can confirm that officers are conducting a search of a residence that is a suspected drug

lab,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk late Friday afternoon. “Things are still very much in the preliminary stages of the investigation. It would appear officers could be searching there for awhile.” Three people were inside the duplex when officers arrived. They were taken into custody. One neighbour said the occupants had been at the home “for a couple of months,” and “never considered them to be a problem.” The firefighters were on hand, called by RCMP, in case their assistance was needed.

Township talks transportation ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

The Township of Spallumcheen is working on transportation improvements. Council has approved staff ’s transportation plan terms of reference, and has directed staff to begin a request for proposals (RFP) process for submissions from qualified consultants to complete the plan. “The purpose of the transportation plan is to identify potential improvements and related investments to the transportation in the study area,” wrote deputy chief administrative officer Corey Paiement in a report to council. Mayor Janice Brown said the plan would look at all roads in the township, from Highway 97A to entrances in and out of McLeod Subdivision, the Log Barn fruit stand and the Starlite Drive-In.

The cost of the plan is not to exceed $50,000. “We’ll be using money we’ve received from the gas tax fund for this plan,” said Brown. The plan will provide the township and the ministry of transportation with a priority list, along with a timeline for planned upgrades to the provincial highway network and township roads. Yard upgrades Spallumcheen’s public works yard will soon have a new salt storage structure, as council approved a bid of slightly more than $48,000 from Span Master Structure to construct the facility. Council also agreed with a recommendation to accept a $24,000-plus bid from Ocana Construction Ltd. to build a concrete wash station at the yard. Council also approved accepting a proposal from Landmark-Solutions in the amount of $21,000 to make repairs to the McCallan Bridge.

Sun setting on summer?

he recent cool weather has some of us thinking that summer in these parts may be over already. Ugghhh. For those of us who may think anything over 35 degrees Celsius is too much of a good thing anyway, there may be a sense of relief. But there’s also that feeling that things are about to get a little more serious, as things do once September rolls along. Routines begin anew, clubs regroup, it’s back to school time, ahem.... However the good news is it’s only midAugust folks and according to the forecast it’s supposed to be warm Glenn Mitchell and sunny again, maybe as early as today or Monday. And then there’s September which is always good for a stretch of sunny skies. Still, I’m glad I got my two-week stretch of holidays in already and the weather was fantastic. Maybe a wee bit too hot but complaining about that seems so wrong on so many fronts. And I’m sorry but due to a lack of a better idea, I’m going to treat you with that back-toschool favourite of an essay on what I did on my summer holidays. I always figure you have to get out of town at least for a little while for it to be a real holiday but that could be because I’m in the news business and if I don’t physically leave the city limits it’s difficult for my mind to hit the rest and relax mode. Occupational hazard I suppose but I’m sure I’m not alone in that thought, even though there’s so much to do in these parts in the summertime, and believe me I did a lot of that too. It was launched with a weekend golfing getaway with some old (ahem) high school buddies which was just what the doctor ordered as a combination of reminiscing, comparing

MitChEll’S MuSingS

life notes, bragging and complaining about our kids, worrying about retirement plans, a number of belly laughs, enough alcohol and an ability to communicate openly despite the fact we see each other semi-annually at best, proved to be a prescription for a life-affirming exercise. Thanks guys. I also bought a book during my holidays. That’s not that exciting, I know, but I actually read it too. OK, it was on the short side but it qualifies and for a guy who is always reading newspapers and magazines and frets about not having enough time to read actual books, I’m chalking it down to an accomplishment. I also got to the dump. Again, not normally something to write home about, or in a column for that matter, but when it clears out a bunch of stuff that’s been accumulating around the yard for months now, not only does it feel good to finally get it done, there’s a cleansing aspect to it as well. Another chore finally crossed off the list. Of course it wasn’t all about chores, just ask my wife, although I did make dinner more than usual on my days off, so there. However, I also hit the lake at least a few times and I found the time to get out golfing with my kids and dad once, as well as take part in the family tradition called the Mitchell Cup. Let’s just say, almost according to an annual script, I choked on the last hole and let another family member, who shall remain nameless, and may or may not work at this newspaper, win. But I’m over that now. And my holidays ended on a glorious note with a three-day excursion to the Sunshine Coast with my better half. We had never been there before and if you’re looking for an easy to get to, fairly reasonably priced, relaxing holiday that includes stunning scenery and ocean vistas straight out of a tourism brochure, do check it out. And yes we had fish and chips at Molly’s Reach.

We love our heritage in Vernon and in a perfect world, we’d be able to keep things forever. We mourned the loss of the historic grandstands in Polson Park and Kin Race Track to fire. Those of us old enough to remember going as kids wish we could go back one last time to Nick’s Kandy Kitchen, Athen’s Pizza or buy the latest hit album, 45, cassette or eighttrack from Freddie’s Records and Tapes. Now comes word that Camp Hurlburt, situated among the eastern shore of Okanagan Lake, not even 15 minutes from downtown Vernon, is closing down its kitchen and cabins for good after more than 80 years. Owned and operated by Trinity United Church, Camp Hurlburt has housed thousands upon thousands of campers every year from 1931-2012, when the church suspended camp operations. There were limited camps in 2013 and nothing this year. As the camp grew older, it became tougher and more expensive for the church to keep up with the upgrades needed. A campaign to raise $3 million started in 2006 to help rebuild the camp fell significantly short. So the church, in consultation with its congregation, made the gut-wrenching decision to put the property up for sale. The money from the sale will be used for programs along the same guidelines as those of Hurlburt: helping youth, young adults and young families. Prime lakeshore property should fetch a pretty penny. Here’s hoping the camp site is turned into public greenspace. For thousands, Hurlburt will be fondly remembered. But the decision to sell is the right decision.

An event to remember

ow that was a show. Kudos to Norm Crerar and his committee and all the volunteers for their excellent presentation of a Military Tattoo at Kal Tire Place. The music, the colour, the dancing and the precision movements - all combined to make the tattoo a most entertaining spectacle. Following the haunting notes of the Lone Piper (Jim Wright, former pipe major of the Shuswap Pipes'n Drums) the entry of the massed bands to stirring march tunes brought the audience to its feet to loud applause. The performance, which was close to a sell-out on both days, was a tribute to the efforts of all involved and the organization that has been going on for many months. Bringing together performers and groups from distant parts of the country and co-ordinating several local talented groups was a daunting task. The choreography of the entrances and exits of the various groups was both precise and impressive, as were the talents and energy of the performers. As a two-time participant at the famed Edinburgh Tattoo, in my opinion Vernon can well be proud of the version presented by Norm and his coworkers. It was a great all-round effort, and the spectacle presented by the grand finale was truly marvellous. It was something to remember. Don Hull missing tHe point With regard to the editorial concerning political spin and sloganism, I believe the writer missed the point. Canada and Poland have roughly equivalent populations. However, it is my understanding that Canada's annual gross domestic product is 3.5 times that of Poland and our coastal length is about 450 times the length of Poland's coast fronting the Baltic Sea. My question is, under the circumstances, why does this province not have a ship building industry sufficient to build our own fleet of ferries? The fact that Seaspan Marine pulled out of bidding is irrelevant and simply highlights our government's mismanagement of our jobs program. J. swartz cHeck tHat book Recently, I borrowed a paperback book from the Vernon branch of Okanagan Regional Library. I did not know that it was my responsibility to do the library's job and check for any damage. I returned the book July 1 via the outside book drop. On July 2, the circulation librarian telephoned to inform me that the book was damaged on return and that I owed $8.10

to replace the book. When I went to the library that afternoon, I was shown the book, which had some stained pages, asked if I was the borrower and if I had noticed the stains when I read the book. I informed the librarians that I was the borrower and I did not notice the stains and I did not stain the book. I asked if one of the duties of the library was to be sure that materials for borrowing were to be in good condition. I was informed that, "We cannot check every book." My some other dude did it defence was pooh-poohed as fantasy. Since I have a library card and on the back are the words, "acknowledge that materials borrowed on this card are my responsibility," I paid the $8.10. My policy at the library now is to have every book that I borrow checked minutely for any damage both at the check-out and check-in by a librarian in my presence. I will no longer use the self checkout desk or the inside or outside book drops. brian may recycling blues I have been hearing and reading about the new blue box recycling

program and I am appalled by the lack of thinking on not only the persons who dreamed up this idiotic idea, but also those who I overheard complaining about all of the controversy. What's there to complain about, they say? Well, there is an old traditional saying, "Walk a mile in my shoes," and I ask all of you who wonder why there is controversy to do just that. Think outside of the box for a change. I only wish the powers that be would do the same because they have caused a whirlwind of trouble for everyone. Anyone, and I mean not just seniors, should hold on to a rail when descending or ascending the stairs. How can you carry a blue box which requires both hands and protect yourself from falling on those stairs? Some seniors have to use a cane as well as hold on to the railings so they will have to get someone to carry the boxes for them. Try to pick up one of those boxes and carry it down a flight of stairs full of recycling material. When winter comes, guess what happens on slippery stairs and sidewalks while trying to maneuver those blue boxes? It is so much easier to drag a plastic bag. I shudder to

think of all of the injuries. Seniors are not the only people with some form of disability so carrying a blue box any distance at all is difficult to say the least. We could drag a plastic bag and hold on to the railing and once it is delivered to the designated spot, it is picked up and you don't have the blue box to bring back to your abode. The present changes to the recycling program also caused other problems because the locations for glass drop-off also quit being available so guess where the problem products are going now? Our landfill will suffer a super increase in garbage and broken glass which could have been recycled. Not everyone has a vehicle to drive to the nearest drop-off centre. I for one will be putting all of my recycling into the garbage if anything should happen to keep my husband from being able to deliver the blue box to the main road because I can't do it. Also, many have been left out of this program so have no place to take their recycling or can't take their recycling to a designated drop-off so once more the landfill will increase in size. Personally, I will take a second hard look at whom I will vote for in the next election.

Those in power now lack a great deal of insight. If you thought our medical costs are an extravagant amount now, wait until the blue boxes cause injuries from people falling down stairs trying to get the blue boxes to the curb. betty lucianovich

that it’s affordable. “In regards to transit use only 15 per cent of respondents indicated they utilize the bus to and from Vernon,” reads the report as 81 per cent indicated they drive their own vehicle. The population growth for Lumby is expected to exhibit moderate growth over the next two decades (.82 per cent a year), compared to the Regional District of North Okanagan growth expected to increase 1.2 per cent annually. The numbers, using Statistics Canada and BC Stats data, also shows stronger annual growth rates for Vernon 1.45 per cent, Armstrong 1.52 per cent, Enderby 1.46 per cent and Coldstream 1.26 per cent. Therefore the anticipated housing demand between now and 2031 is 119 for Lumby or seven per year (with a 255 total population increase) and 8,058 for RDNO (with a 16,949 increase). A public open house is slated for late September where draft Guiding Principles and Goals will be presented for feedback.

Survey says: Lumby needs more jobs. As part of its Official Community Plan review, the village recently surveyed residents on life in Lumby. Of the 122 surveys submitted, the greatest portion of respondents are in the 60 to 69 age bracket. The majority of respondents (49 per cent) have lived in Lumby for less than one to 10 years while one quarter have lived in the village for more than 20 years. There were 35 respondents who indicated they expect to move away from Lumby within the next three years, many due to medical/age-related challenges. Respondents had positive results about the quality of life in Lumby, with many calling it a good place to live, raise a family and retire. “The one category which was highlighted as needing improvement relates to employment opportunities within the village,” states the report summary by Regional District of North Okanagan planner Marnie Skobalski, as 81 per cent indicated opportunities to be very poor. It was listed as the top improvement which would increase the experience of living in Lumby, followed by economic diversity and maintenance of streets and sidewalks. But what residents said they enjoy about Lumby is the small town size and character, sense of community and friendly people, natural areas and the fact

it’s approximately 11.25 meters from my bedroom,” said Butt. “When he burns wood, the smoke and ash rises, as his house is located on a hill below me, so that smoke and ash rises, enters our backyard and comes into my house through the windows.” Butt said when his neighbour is burning in his backyard, he can’t use his own yard because of the ash and smoke. The neighbour, he said, does not light fires when it rains or there’s a fire ban in place. Along with the smoke, Butt is concerned for his family’s health. His wife suffers from bronchitis, he said, and his daughter-in-law is asthmatic, and both conditions get irritated when the burning begins. Butt said he’s asked people why they would want a backyard fire pit, and he said the answer he mainly receives is to be able to enjoy their property and to roast wieners and marshmallows. “You can go to an outdoors store and for $100, you can buy a gas-operated campfire which replicates an actual campfire,” he said. “You can cook marshmallows, cook hot dogs and enjoy the great outdoors in your backyard without emitting the smoke, ash and other irritants that affect other people.” If council won’t ban backyard campires, Butt asked that the city restrict them to city parks so the city can regulate the number of campfires operated, or restrict campfires to acreage properties, where there is a greater distance between residences. Mayor Rob Sawatzky told Butt that council does not deal with delegations on the same agenda, that time will be needed for council to do its due diligence on the matter. As a former physician, though, Sawatzky agreed with Butt that open burning in a backyard can be a health risk. “A lot of young asthmatics that we see in this valley, when the air quality is quite poor it’ll be related to wood burning,” said Sawatzky. “It’s a frightening experience for parents and children.” Coun. Juliette Cunningham asked city bylaw enforcement manager Clint Kanester if his office receives a lot of burning complaints. “We do periodically get complaints about smoke and general use,” said Kanester. “They are investigated but I don’t have the exact numbers with me.” Kanester promised to have the number available to council at a subsequent meeting.

Dad inspires Parkinson’s ride Tyler lowey

Morning Star Staff

Ben Brock will ride his bike 313 kilometres through the Rocky Mountains to try and make a difference. Brock will depart Tuesday morning from Canmore and ride up the Ice Fields Parkway into Jasper to raise money for Parkinson’s disease. “The inspiration for this ride comes from my dad,” said Brock. Brock’s father, Gary, 73, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease 23 years ago. The disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. Notable people who have the disease are Michael J. Fox and Muhammad Ali. “To grow up beside him, suffering inside a body that is no longer under his control, when his body is shaking off its hinges, never a word of complaint, but instead hearing his contagiously positive outlook on life fuels my get up and go,” said Brock. Brock came to Canada in 2007 from Brisbane, Australia, on a 12-month trip and has stayed ever since. He now lives in Vernon where he is a landscaper. The Aussie will be teaming up with the Michael J. Fox Foundation, a group dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinon’s through aggressive research. The foundation has invested over $350 million since its establishment in 2000. Since joining forces with the foundation, Brock has been overwhelmed by the support he has received. “I’m blown away by the generosity and goodwill from people here in Vernon, back home in Australia, Europe and even Dubai.” Brock was aiming to raise $20 for each km, leaving him with a total $6,260. He was shocked to find out that he has accumulated over $8,000 a week before the big day. Every dollar he raises will go straight to the MJFF and put into research to finding better treatments and a cure to this disease. The five-foot-11, 160-pound Brock isn’t built like a tank by any means, but he has an enthusiasm for riding bikes and has been active ever since he was a kid. Growing up on the sunshine coast in Australia, Brock was a big surfer, a cyclist and a rower. He competed for Queensland in several national regattas over 10 years. In order to prepare himself for the marathon bike, Brock has knocked off a few 200 km practices in the past year, including one 280 km session last summer. “Unfortunately, every time I plan for a big practice run the weather seems to be around 36

degrees,” joked Brock. “Hopefully it’s a little cooler than that in the Rockies.” He will be accompanied by his girlfriend, Michelle, who will follow him in her van. “We are going to fill the van up with waters and peanut butter and honey sandwiches to get the calories turning over for the day,” smiled Brock. Brock decided on the location a while back when he was driving through the parkway one summer. “I remember thinking, ‘hey, this looks like a nice place to go for a ride.’ I never thought it would be for a ride over 300 km.” Brock’s weapon of choice will be his Felt F3 road bike. “It’s is something streamline and lightweight,” said Brock. As for any future fund-raisers, Brock is focusing on the task at hand. “Right now it’s one step at a time. Let me survive this one before I plan anything else. I do see myself continuing support until we find an answer,” said Brock. For those interested in donating, it’s simple. Head to the Michael J. Fox Foundation website and search for the Ben Brock page. Once there, click the donate now button on the side. People can donate as much as they want before, during and after the race.

Treatment for Chronic Foot Pain Available in Kelowna

ain in the feet is one of the most debilitating injuries we can be plagued with; it is felt in the arch of the foot (Plantar Fasciitis), the heel (Plantar Fasciitis or heel spur) or at the back of the ankle (Achilles Tendonitis). Unfortunately, we continuously use our feet, which makes healing from related injuries very difficult.

success, it gives up and healing stops. Shockwave Therapy breaks up scar tissue, restoring the function of the muscle and promoting new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. In fact, in a double blind study published in Journal of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society, 90%of patients suffering from heel and arch pain showed significant improvements with Shockwave. Furthermore, Shockwave Therapy (developed to break up kidney stones) has success rates of between 77%-91% in the treatment of other soft tissue conditions. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

DR. RYAN HARRIS Glenmore Chiropractic

Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury affecting the fibrous tissue that forms the arch. Heel spurs can form when the fascia tears at the heel attachment and results in pain in the center of the heel. Achilles Tendonitis is irritation of the Achilles where the calf muscle meets the heel and can result in pain in the calf, the Achilles, or the back of the heel. The inflammation from overuse leads to pain as well as deposits of scar tissue, further inflaming the area each time the Achilles or plantar fascia are used. After the body has tried for weeks or months to heal the injury with no

Bennett bound for TRU WolfPack TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff

Mike Bennett is the third Thompson Okanagan Football Club player signing with the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s soccer team for their inaugural season in the CIS Canada West conference. Bennett, a Fulton grad, is looking forward to donning the orange and black this fall in Kamloops. “I became interested in TRU once they entered the CIS,” said Bennett. “I wanted to be part of that transition.” The WolfPack’s training camp is underway and they played a friendly Thursday night against the UBCO Heat at UBCO Field. The teams didn’t keep score, but focused on the systems they have been implementing in practice. “The first 60-70 minutes, we controlled most of the play,” said WolfPack men’s soccer coach John Antulov. “The guys bought into the game what we had been working on in training. I was very happy to see how the young guys played in the scrimmage.” Corey Wallis of Enderby had a strong debut as the WolfPack co-captain. Wallis enters his fourth season with the Pack. “We need our veteran players to calm things down, to communicate, to organize. For the most part all our vets did that today,” said Antulov. “It was evident when Corey was in the back how organized it was.” Bennett played for 45 minutes of mistake-free soccer. “I didn’t do anything special. I thought the team looked pretty good despite us being short a few guys,” said Bennett. The Pack continues training camp this week before heading to Edmonton for three exhibition matches. “Training camp has been going pretty good. I’m starting to get used to the four-hour practices in the heat,” said Bennett. Bennett will celebrate his 18th birthday on the pitch on the road this October as the WolfPack

take on the University of Victoria Vikings. He moved around the country as a kid, but has always had soccer to fall back on. “I like to hangout and relax with my friends, but soccer takes up most of my time,” said Bennett. Bennett became attached to the French national team during their run at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Despite Zinedine Zidane’s antics in extra-time, he has followed the team ever since. France will host the 2016 Euro Cup, and by the time that rolls around, Bennett will be much more accustomed to campus life. But for now, he begins his collegiate career with a few buddies. A pair of Bennett’s TOFC teammates, Nathan Hawe of Nakusp and Finlay McPhie of Vernon, will join him on the WolfPack this fall. The three played under head coach Jason Thompson. “It’s not something we planned, it just kind of happened,” said Bennett. The five-foot-eight, 140-pound right back didn’t know he would attend TRU until recently. “I had plans to go elsewhere, but TRU was a better fit for me,” said Bennett. McPhie and Bennett will bunk up at the TRU Residence building and they are both in the business administration program. Antulov and his new coaching staff, which includes Vernon native and former WolfPack star Sebastian Gardner, are just getting acquainted with Bennett, but they like what they see. “He (Bennett) approached me a few weeks ago looking to come work out with us,” said Antulov. “So we brought him in for a workout and I was really happy with what I saw. He has a great attitude, he is one of the fittest guys at camp, he has great touch and he sees the game well. “He is a guy we can build into a real player one day.” The WolfPack kick off their Canada West schedule against the Trinity Western University Spartans Friday, Sept. 12, at Hillside Stadium. The WolfPack went 10-2-2 last year in the Pac West and captured the silver medal at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association nationals in Saint John, N.B.

Otto registers five goals as Sunterra ice Attack Morning Star Staff

The weather may have cooled off the past week, but Cassandra Otto is scorching hot. Otto scored five goals as the OTC/Sunterra Sistas ambushed the Centreline Attack 6-1 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 2 action Thursday night at Marshall Field. Otto has sniped nine goals in the past two games. Marisa Weibe added a single from the back line and Diane Neudorf was solid in net for the Sistas (12-1-1). Shelby Fisher scored a beautiful goal for the purple squad

(3-12) at the end of the first half. The Division 2 season ends Thursday Aug. 17. Meanwhile, Vernon Kal Tire shut down Pernticton United 2-0 in Okanagan Men’s 55+ Soccer League play Thursday night at Constable Neil Bruce Field in West Kelowna. Akbal Mund made his debut with the tiremen (8-7-2) and was stellar in recording the shutout. Winger Terry Lowe converted a rocket from 12 yards early in the second half after passes from midfielders Bob Fleming and Jim Sparrow. Striker Kevin Mitchell neatly chipped a 20-yarder over

onrushing keeper Tim Polukoshko at 72 minutes after a great left-footed feed by Sparrow, a central midfielder named the Wendy’s Man of the Match. Outside fullbacks Dave Hampton and Erv Schuur enjoyed bold showings for Kal Tire. Penticton, who got solid performances from strikers Grahame Baker and Glenn Bergen, fell to 14-4-1. Vernon Silver Stars took a 1-0 forfeit over the Summerland Rockets at Beasley Park. The Stars improved to 15-2-2, while the Rockets dipped to 4-14. Both Vernon teams have three games remaining.

Holland rates new Wings’ deal

en Holland turns 59 in November, hardly senior citizen status in the NHL world of management employees. Born and raised in Vernon, Holland told me last summer he could see himself working as a Scotty Bowman-type consultant well into his 70s. Holland just locked in another four years with the Detroit Red Wings. He is entering his 18th season as GM in Hockeytown. Since he took over in July 1997, Hollandbuilt teams have won more regular-season games (746) and post-season games (115) than any other NHL organization. The Red Wings won Stanley Cups in 1998, 2002 and 2008 — and another in 1997 while he was an assistant GM. Detroit fought through injuries in 2013-14 to make the playoffs for the 23rd consecutive season, but the Red Wings lost Kevin Mitchell in the first round to Boston. Holland was also an executive with the Canadian teams that won Olympic men’s gold in 2010 in Vancouver and in 2014 in Sochi. He and his family are very tight with Mike and Marian Ilitch, and their family, the owners of the Wings and Major League Baseball’s Tigers. “I’ve been here a long time and very proud, very happy to be a Red Wing,” Holland told the Detroit Free Press. “I work for, I believe, the best owners in the NHL — passionate, committed. It’s nice to know that ownership has confidence in me to continue to lead going forward.” Said Mike Ilitch, in a statement to the media: “Ken is regarded as one of the premier executives in the National Hockey League and has been instrumental in the success of the Red Wings over the last two decades. We feel strongly that stability is key to the success of any organization and having this new agreement in place with Ken is important to the organization and its future.” Holland, who has a beautiful place on Kalamalka Lake, obviously feels comfortable working for the Ilitich family and he’s going to keep a good thing going for as long as possible. His extension also carries positive weight for locals like Tyler Wright, Marty Stein and Jeff Finley, all of whom work under Ken. Perhaps most important on Holland’s agenda in the coming weeks are signing head coach Mike Babcock to a new deal and signing promising d-man Dan DeKeyser.

BETWEEN THE LINES

Ice Buckets for ALS awareness

The Morning Star publisher Ian Jensen and I took the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Friday morning in the front parking lot after being forced into the act by Vipers’ head coach/GM Jason Williamson. We filled a Bobcat with water and ice, took the bath, and challenged six others. Jensen listed his son, Aaron, a goalie with the provincial silver medalist Vernon Source For Sports Junior B Tigers lacrosse team and huge sports booster, oldtimers soccer keeper Akbal Mund and buddy Doug English in Nanaimo. I issued challenges to Stein, who was golfing at Vernon

G&CC Friday morning with former Junior hockey teammates Gary Gilchrist and Grant Sidnick on their annual Class of 1974 reunion weekend, Dallas Stars’ scout Dennis Holland and Ryan Nitchie of the Armstrong Shamrocks master lacrosse club. Sidney Crosby, Steven Stamkos, Patrick Kane and Tyler Seguin are among the dozens of hockey stars who have posted online videos to get people talking about the neurodegenerative disorder, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. If you are challenged, you either dump a bucket of ice water over your head within the next 24 hours, or else donate money toward fighting ALS. The viral phenomenon traces its origins to University of Arizona women’s basketball coach Niya Butts, who made the Cold Water Challenge popular earlier this summer in hopes of raising awareness and money for breast cancer research. Then former Boston College baseball player Pete Frates heard about the idea from fellow ALS patient Patrick Quinn and got his friends and family involved. The 29-year-old Frates is suffering from the disease and no longer has use of his arms or legs. NHL free agent funnyman Paul Bissonnette has the most epic video so far. He has glacier water from a helicopter strike him before challenging LeBron James, Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson.

Rattlesnake rulers Morning Star Staff

A pair of Vernon athletes dominated an outdoor distance swim last Saturday in Peachland. Nathan Champness won the men’s and Tara Ivanitz won the woman’s 7.1-kilometre Rattlesnake Island swim. Champness finished in two hours, three minutes and 25 seconds for his eighth victory of the season. Ivanitz swam a 1:57.03 for her first win of the summer. She was the only swimmer to crack the two-hour mark. Other Vernon swimmers competed with strong results. Alesha Miller finished second in the female 20-29 group in 2:05.29. Christa Miller’s time of 2:28.27 was good enough for fourth. Bruce Melton was the only male in the 65-69 group and he completed the swim in 2:10.37. Margaret Valair placed eighth in the female 50-59 age group with 3:17.54. Dawn King recorded 3:37.36 to earn ninth. Falkland’s Brian Bell completed the race in 3:29.42. He was the only swimmer in the male 70-74 group.

Lazar calling for world gold

Vernon’s Curtis Lazar told The Ottawa Sun that this is Canada’s golden year in the World Junior Hockey Championships, set for Montreal and Toronto. The Senators’ first-round pick figures the 2015 Canadian junior team has the ingredients to put an end to the nation’s fiveyear gold drought at the world junior. “This is the year,” said Lazar. “Why not do it on home soil? It’s going to be crazy, but we can feed off the energy of the home crowd. We have the staff, the resources, we have the players to do it. “We have the most talent of a lot of countries out there. If everyone buys in ... look at what the Olympic team did in Sochi. We try to model our style after them. We really have to pick things up and get on top again.” Canada’s summer development camp ended last Friday after a 5-2 loss against the Czech Republic. The Canadians were strong in their previous three games, winning all by a margin of at least three goals, and coach Benoit Groulx was pleased with what the team was able to put in place. Lazar led the Canadians with four goals and five points in four games. Groulx and his assistants will be hoping that Lazar and Buffalo Sabres prospect Sam Reinhart don’t stick in the NHL, and there is usually a player that surprises and doesn’t return to junior (Sean Monahan with Calgary last season). Experts say Connor McDavid, a superstar in the Ontario League with the Erie Otters, showed the most natural skill in camp. Fans should mark down New Year’s Eve in their phones. That’s when McDavid will meet another top pick in next year’s draft: American Jack Eichel.

Improving local employment

here is such a scarcity of common sense in general that it is frightening. Take the recent government crackdown on temporary foreign workers, a reaction to many abuses in the system especially in the food service business. Fact one is that we are desperate for job opportunities in this area. Fact two is that the restaurant and bar employees are traditionally underpaid, part time and seldom have benefits hence the reluctance of many workers to embrace this area. Paying less to temporary foreign workers does not fix this problem, it makes it worse. Proprietors say they cannot afford to pay more wages or provide any benefits to employees but now that foreign workers

personal best

Pat Black

cannot be hired I think they will have to adjust to the marketplace like everyone else in business. Another interesting situation has occurred as a result of this crackdown by government at our Silver Star Mountain Resort. Apparently they have been employing overseas workers, mostly Australians and New Zealanders, for a while on the hill in the capacity of ski and snowboard instructors with a level three and four certification. They say

#201 - 3334 - 30th Avenue, Vernon, BC 250-542-2776 • fax 250-542-2724

this is a result of the unavailability of trained personnel at this level. I am amazed that we have such a shortage given the propensity of skiers here and the high level of ability of most. They also talk about the fact that the government, as part of the crackdown, has raised the processing fee to hire foreign workers from $275 to $1,000 per application. Well here is a common sense solution, given we have a community college on our doorstep, perhaps the ski hill could use some of that application fee to collaborate with the college and come up with a plan to train local residents so we could employ local people to do these jobs. Duh! If we don’t have employment opportunities and a more

expansive economy we risk the future of our kids and grandkids being able to stay in the valley. Already we have people who have to leave their families, their wives, husbands and kids to make a living. What kind of a family life does this provide with an absentee wife, mother or husband and father up in the tar sands for most of the time? And yet to get a decent wage and benefits that is what is happening more and more. Even older men who cannot find a decent waged job here are travelling north to heavy duty, physically-demanding jobs that may be damaging to their physical well being. We need to look at alternative and common sense ways of creating employment or changing already

existing jobs so that they pay a decent wage so that young families can survive and stay here. North Okanagan Hospice Society, as most of us know, provides a desperately needed hospice house for those who are coming to the end of their journey but they also provide many other services. They are offering a grief support group called Finding My Way, beginning Oct. 1 for eight consecutive weeks. Sessions will be held in the evenings and the group provides a safe place for adults experiencing grief due to the death of a loved one. Participants will be introduced to the definitions of grief and mourning, discuss ways that grief affects people differently, and identify ways of getting through a time of loss and transition. All interested individuals will be invited to meet with the grief and bereavement counsellor prior to registering for the group to determine their current needs and readiness. For more information, call Panadda at 5031800, ext: 200.

Water use rises in village Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

The taps have been running at a record pace in Lumby lately. The quantity of water treated from January to June 2014 increased for the first time during this period since 2008. There were 137,053 cubic metres treated, up 3.47 per cent from the same period last year when 132,461 cubic metres was treated. Water treatment has steadily been declining since 2008 (when nearly 200,000 cubic metres was being treated) during the first half of the year, until this year. “The village budgeted for a very modest decrease in consumption for 2014, which would be consistent with the consumption trend for the

last number of years,” said Jeremy Sundin, director of finance. “As it stands, if the current trend continues the water function may in fact realize greater revenue than originally budgeted.” Sundin goes on to say the water conservation efforts may be nearing their limits in the village, unless additional pressures are used, such as water rate increases and incentives to install more water-efficient appliances.

The City of Enderby will be unveiling a plaque to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the War Measures Act, the legislation that led to Canada’s first national internment operations. The ceremony will take place Friday at 11 a.m. at the Drill Hall (208 George Street). The public is invited to join Mayor Howie Cyr at the ceremony which is part of 100 plaque unveilings being held that day across Canada. During Canada’s first national internment operations of 1914-1920, thousands of men, women and children were branded as “enemy aliens,” and many were interned, forced to do heavy labour for the profit of their jailers, disenfranchised, and subjected to other state-sanctioned indignities, not because of any wrong they had done, but only because of who they were, where they had come from.

People poised to retire in alberta are considering property acquisitions in the Okanagan Valley.

Albertans flush with money and eager to buy vacation or second homes in the Okanagan remain a huge catalyst for optimism in the real estate market. So when WestJet opened up daily flight service from Fort McMurray in the northern Alberta oil patch to Kelowna International Airport, a significant shift began to appear in local real estate buyer profiles. That shift has hit home relatively quickly in Lake Country, according to Jason Koverchuk, director of sales and marketing for the Lakestone development on Okanagan Centre Road West. Koverchuk says the driving factor of the sales interest is the close proximity of the district to Kelowna International Airport, which they advertise as 16 minutes away. “It’s resonating within our demographic—younger empty nesters in their mid-50s who have seen their kids grow up and are thinking now about the next chapter in their lives as they approach retirement,” he said. “They may be looking at commuting now, but in three to five years, they can picture themselves living here full-time, retired, in a place where they want to be.” The price continues to be favourable for Okanagan properties, he added. Recent reports show that in parts of Alberta, such as Sylvan Lake near Red Deer, a lakefront cabin starts at $750,000 with anything under the $1 million mark considered a bargain. “For people in a place like Fort McMurray, those working in the oil and gas sector are in a good position financially to buy a recreation or retirement property.

They often work 10 to 15 days and are off for five days, so why not spend that time in the Okanagan, especially if you plan to retire here one day,” Koverchuk said. “Being mobile and living in one community and working in another is becoming increasingly common today, so the closeness of the airport really offers some advantages for living in Lake Country.” Koverchuk says while the local real estate market is showing signs of emerging from a five-year lull, he wouldn’t describe the current market as a boom cycle. “There are definitely signs of recovery out there but it’s partly due, I think, to competitive pricing. Compared to us, the real estate markets in Calgary, Edmonton and even Vancouver continue to be strong, so homeowners in those markets are looking at taking some equity out of their home and buying a lot, with the idea of building that Okanagan dream home down the road.” Koverchuk said the retiring baby boomer generation are far more adventurous when it comes to buying retirement or vacation home properties. “I think in particular with vacation homes, people are making that investment with the idea of it becoming their retirement home one day. They can spend time here during the summer and commute back and forth if necessary, and rent it out during the winter months. “The idea of purchasing a condo where everyone in the family jams into a smaller space for the summer or for a summer vacation doesn’t work as one day becoming a retirement home. We’re seeing a demand from families not to necessarily build a huge home here, but build a downsized second home for their use a couple of months a year during the summer, with the idea of retiring there further down the road.”

Melodi Gilliard is trying to make a difference one lunch box at a time. Gilliard is the creator of a new reusable lunch bag called Pooky Packs. “I was making lunch for my kids once they started school and I didn’t like how much garbage was being thrown out from all the plastic bags from their lunches,” said Gilliard. The Pooky Packs are lined with food safe, water-resistent material that zips shut, with colourful cotton designs on the outside. The owner of Funfer All Daycare, Julie Funfer, is a big fan of the packs. “I have been using the Pooky Packs at my day care since Melodi has been making them,” said Funfer. “I love how they are environmentally friendly, the food stays fresh and doesn’t leak and they are very handy.” Gilliard started making the Pooky Packs when her first born entered kindergarten four years ago and accommodates her product based on her kid’s needs.

“I have a lot of cool fabric, my kids often help pick it out and tell me what they like,” said Gilliard. The Packs come in a variety of sizes and feature several cartoons, action heroes or flowery princesses on the front. Gilliard claims that her bags are a better option than plastic bags or containers because they’re easier to clean, they come in a wider variety of sizes, they’re not breakable and they’re easier to store. As a kid, Gilliard wasn’t heavily involved in the craft scene, but the idea for her company name came from a childhood memory. “My dad would always call me Pooky. I just figured it kind of went with the word packs and it’s fun for little kids,” laughed Gilliard. Gilliard is continualy coming up with new ideas similar to the packs. Avaiable now are bags for trips to the beach, birthday parties and Christmas ideas. The Pooky Packs are available for order on the Pooky Pack Facebook page and now at Friesen’s Country Tyme Gardens. Gilliard will be displaying them Aug. 22 during the Friday downtown market in Vernon.

Cross-border partnership drives Route 97 site Electric Car Charging Stations, and Visitor Information Centres. Launch of the new Discover Route 97 website coincides with start-up of a new ground transportation shuttle service in the South Okanagan.

Morning Star Staff

The scenic Highway 97 is becoming a hot tourism spot dotted with multiple destinations. A cross-border tourism partnership launched an eyecatching website giving visitors to North Central Washington state and British Columbia’s Thompson Okanagan region a rich new source of information and online links to learn about and explore travel destinations up and down the Highway 97 corridor. The Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA) and the North Central Washington Economic Development District (NCWEDD) have teamed up in a joint transborder project to present a combination of new and existing tourism resources on the new Discover Route 97 website – route97.net. The goal of the site, with more than 30 attractive and informative webpages, is to make visitors aware of the amazing destinations along Highway 97, give them direct links to key organizations, places, and tourism resources in the area, and to promote travel on this important Canada-United States corridor. TOTA President and CEO Glenn Mandziuk says the new website demonstrates the benefits of two tourism regions working together to help expand visitor stays in both areas. “This is exactly the kind of initiative we envisioned in 2012 when TOTA and NCWEDD pledged to work together on ways to grow our tourism industries,” said Mandziuk. “By giving visitors to North Central Washington and the Thompson Okanagan a website full of information about the exciting

destinations in both regions, we can help to draw visitors up and down Highway 97 for longer trips. This helps travellers and it helps our tourism industry stakeholders on both sides of the border.” N C W E D D Administrator Jennifer Korfiatis says this project recognizes that tourists don’t stop at the border. “We’re excited about this project. We believe that by working together, both TOTA and NCWEDD can showcase our individual regions in a collective way and present compelling experiences that will help visitors to explore our regions.” Korfiatis and Mandziuk point out that this cross-border project has the support of elected officials from the cities, counties, and First Nations alliances in the regions on both sides of the border. The Discover Route 97 website project manager,

TOTA Community Development Specialist Simone CarlysleSmith, notes that the project was carried out by an experienced team of professionals who have created leadingedge tourism branding and marketing for areas in the Thompson Okanagan over the past two years. They include Roger Handling (Terra Firma Digital Arts), Teresa Nightingale (Attention Web & Graphic Design), and Kim Cameron (tourism marketing writer). “We are incorporating world-class strategic tourism marketing elements to this project to make the new website as informative and useful for the visitor as possible,” said CarlysleSmith. “It is being optimized for effective web searching and will be easily and attractively viewable on all mobile devices.” The website introduction notes: “Route 97 is the ribbon of highway that binds

each community with the next, stretching from the Cascade foothills of the Wenatchee National Forest through Washington’s Chelan, Douglas and Okanogan Counties and crossing the Canadian border into British Columbia’s Thompson Okanagan Region, then onward to Alaska.” It includes lively and informative text, images and links about communities and destinations in areas such as Wenatchee National Forest, Lake Chelan, Leavenworth, the Channeled Scablands, Moses Coulee, the Omak Stampede, historic Winthrop, the Methow Valley, Osoyoos Lake, the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre, Oliver wine country, Summerland, Kelowna, Kalamalka Lake, Vernon’s Sparkling Hill and Predator Ridge Resorts, Salmon Arm, and Gold Country near Cache Creek. The website displays an interactive highlights map and notes 10 “signature experiences” noting outstanding destinations and activities on both sides of the border. It also includes special sections on Wineries,

Agricultural Tourism, Events & Festivals, Entertainment and Arts & Culture. There is a special page with information about crossing the CanadaU.S. border, as well as a Service Directory with links to listings of RV Locations, Accommodations,

margaret deefholts Special To The Morning Star

INDIA/PAKISTAN - “Hindustan, Jai Ho!” (“Victory to India!”) comes the roar from a thousand throats. “Pakistan Zindabad!”(“Long live Pakistan!”) comes the answering shout from an vociferous crowd beyond a low concrete barricade. I’m in Wagah, on the Indian side of the border between India and Pakistan, to watch the flag-lowering and gate-closing ceremony that takes place between the two nations at every evening at sunset. It is, as Michael Palin aptly points out, a hilariously campy show of “carefully choreographed contempt!” and it draws tourists from all over the world. Indians in their tiered stands whoop jubilantly, and not to be outdone, the Pakistanis respond with equal gusto. From where I stand I can see the Pakistanis in their amphitheatre across the border. Like the Indian audience, the crowd is a seething mass of bobbing heads and waving hands. So why this mock show of belligerence between the two nations? Well, when British rule ended in 1947 India and Pakistan emerged as separate nations, and mass migrations of an estimated 14.5 million people followed—Hindus and Sikhs abandoning their ancestral land to move to India, and dispossessed Muslims going in the opposite direction. It was a raw and bitter cleavage, provoking savage reprisals that resulted in 800,000 to 1,000,000 deaths. Time has softened the memory of those horrific months, but the mistrust between the two countries still simmers, occasionally exploding into military standoffs in remote areas along the border. Yet here we are today, 67 years later, watching a display of patriotic zeal that borders on the burlesque, with cheers, thunderous clapping, hoots and jeers on both sides. The foreign visitors’ section fills up fast. Throngs of tourists and media representatives wield yard-long camera lenses and rib-digging elbows as they jostle for space. I am engulfed in a forest of heads and bodies, and waving, clicking cameras. As a warm up act, relays of women holding aloft large Indian flags race back and forth, to enthusiastic applause. National anthem chants interspersed with Bollywood songs, blare over the loudspeaker. The crowd goes wild as a young woman whirls into action, lip synching the words of a film hit, with much hip-thrusting and casting of coquettish looks at her audience. She is replaced by a group of colourful Bhangra dancers, who leap in the air, wave their handkerchiefs, and invite people from the audience to join them. An ‘any-note-you-can-hold-I-canhold-longer’ competition gets underway. From the Indian gallery comes a long holler sustained for about 50 seconds This is echoed in ear-shattering decibels for an even longer period by a Pakistani vocalist.

High-kicking Indian and Pakistani soldiers (above) take part in a Wagah ceremony. Below, two women run through a crowd with Indian flags. Back and forth it goes, until finally the Indian bawler appears to win. The crowd in the stands go nuts, waving their flags, yelling and whistling in appreciation. A bugle sounds and six soldiers emerge from the Border Force Office building. Clad in khaki with striped orange and black sashes, their orange turbans are surmounted by enormous pleated crests that fan out like cockscombs. They speed-march with comical haste along the pathway, then hard-stamp their feet to attention as they wait for the signal to approach the border gates. A fusillade of camera clicks erupt around me. The sun is almost on the horizon, and the moment everyone’s been waiting for arrives. The Indian soldiers speed march with a stiff-legged swagger, high-kicking their booted feet to the height of their eyebrows, and take their place at the gates. The Pakistani soldiers sport black fan-tufts on their turbans, and they too march arrogantly into place. Both sides wear pugnacious expressions, and there is much melodramatic posturing—shaking of heads and stamping of feet—as they come face to face. A blonde woman standing next to me chuckles, “Keystone Cops!” The bugle sounds, the soldiers salute smartly and the flags start their descent; both flags must come down at exactly the same rate, thus symbolizing the equal status of both countries. The commanding officers from both countries step forward, salute one another and exchange the briefest of handshakes. The gates clang shut, again with split second precision on both sides of the border. The Indian flag is folded and carried with solemn ceremony back into the Border Force Office. The sun dips below the horizon, the last soldier disappears into the office building, and the audience offers its final

round of applause. The crowd begins to disperse…and the tamasha (show) is over. Until tomorrow—when it will take place all over again. Margaret Deefholts is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

The architect of a proposed 27,000 square foot commercial complex on Lake Country’s Main Street says the inclusion of a drive through business is critical to the success of the development. Brian Quiring of MQN Architects appeared at a public hearing on Tuesday night in Lake Country presenting the developer’s view of the proposal which will include four commercial buildings, one of which includes a drive-through window. “We’re getting pretty excited to see this project come to fruition,” said Quiring. “We believe the drive through is a good thing for this development and a good thing for this community.” The major commercial development along Main Street has received preliminary approval from the District of Lake Country. The public hearing was called to deal specifically with the issue of allowing a business that will operate a drive-through window, an issue that has come up in several ongoing developments including the proposed Main Street development, which is planned for a long-vacant lot at the corner of Highway 97 and Pollard Road. Rezoning is needed to allow for a drive-through restaurant, a use currently not allowed in the zone. Lake Country resident Paula Diakiw was the lone member of the public to speak at the hearing and said she was not in favour of a drive-through for the area. “I don’t have anything against anyone wanting to bring a business to Lake Country, however I feel strongly that we have too many drive-throughs,” said Diakiw. “Drive throughs bring people that idle their cars and then rip out of the parking lot. Stopping your car and getting out is not a bad thing.” Drive-through restaurants and banks are getting a fair amount of attention in Lake Country this year as at least three different commercial developments all feature proposed drive throughs. Quiring said despite popular opinion, a drivethrough business doesn’t bring negatives into a development. “From a convenience standpoint we believe it’s a good thing for people with a disability, the elderly and people with young kids,” he said. “If there is no drive through, a lot of the time people park, leave their car running and run in (to the business). Or else they are driving around looking for parking. The benefit is keeping the dollars in the community, getting this as a catalyst for the downtown core and really starting something in the area that will be a benefit to everybody.” Lake Country council also received two letters in support of the drive through and one against it. Council will have to vote on the issue at a future meeting.

John and Maria Byland are supporters of the Make Water Work program.

Judie steeves

Without water, John and Maria Byland would be out of business. As the owners of Bylands Nurseries – a major supplier of plants to garden centres throughout the Okanagan – water is vital to their work. As a result, they’re more aware than some people of the importance of the resource, so they’ve taken steps both around their business and their home to conserve water. The family business has been in operation since just a few years after John’s father Adrian arrived here from Holland in 1953 and began growing trees for the orchard industry. Today, the family actively farms 400 acres in the Okanagan, in addition to acreage in the Fraser Valley. And while the Bylands have earned international attention for their environmental stewardship and water conservation practices, this commitment shows in their personal lives as well. The landscape around their West Kelowna home has evolved during the 17 years they’ve been there, but there are still native mature pines and mahonia (Oregon grape) which form a part of it, along with non-native, drought-tolerant plants such as the rugged pink rugosa roses interspersed with blue clouds of Russian sage which line the driveway. But reducing water use doesn’t mean they don’t grow their own vegetables, most of which require regular watering to produce a crop for the kitchen. In fact, John is particularly proud of the veggie patch. He mostly waters by hand so plants needing more water get it, and those needing less receive less. Rows of kale and cucumbers are watered using a drip irrigation line so evaporation and waste are minimized. He points out that even his row of cedars has become relatively waterwise, because he uses drip irrigation for them as well as mulching to retain soil moisture. Once established, they need less water too as the roots go deep into the soil. An exposed bank has been planted in junipers which are very drought-tolerant and yet present a green, living wall along the driveway. Maria points out that knowing your soil type is essential. Clay soils can lead some people to over water, and gravelly soils can lead to under-watering. Amending the soil so it has proper structure to retain moisture is important, she explains. And water management, including controlling your automatic sprinkler system so it’s adjusted based on seasonal requirements is also important, notes John. “An improperly-managed irrigation system can waste a lot of water and cause problems for plants,” he adds. But plants that receive just the right amount of water are more resistant to diseases such as root rot (a common disease caused by too much water).

Nursery making water work Special to The Morning Star

2013 Chrysler 300 Ltd

Back at the nursery, all runoff is collected in recycling ponds where it is mixed with fresh water and used to irrigate again. The system has saved the Bylands a third of the water they used to use. Larger plant containers are watered using drip irrigation now instead of overhead, and the nursery makes its own compost from discarded plants, which is used as mulch or as a soil amendment. “We take a more-scientific approach today, ensuring each plant gets the appropriate amount of water, delivered at the appropriate time,” says John. With 24 per cent of all Okanagan water used on household lawns and gardens, and less water available per person than anywhere in Canada, valley residents are encouraged to reduce outdoor water use this summer. Take the pledge to Make Water Work at www.MakeWaterWork.ca and enter to win $5,000 in WaterWise yard upgrades. Take the pledge to: • Water plants. Not pavement. • Water between dusk and dawn. • Leave lawn 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) tall • Leave grass clippings as mulch • Top dress with compost; and • Change out some lawn for drought-tolerant turf and/or native and low-water variety plants. Judie Steeves is with Make Water Work, an initiative of the Okanagan Basin Water Board and its Okanagan WaterWise program.

Staff at Vernon Kia are preparing to host the fifth annual Drive Change Day on Thursday, Aug. 21, to raise funds and food for the Upper Room Mission and Salvation Army Food Bank.

A stop at a Vernon car dealership can help a couple of organizations. Vernon Kia hosts its fifth annual Drive Change Day on Thursday, Aug. 21. “We’re doing this to raise awareness, money and food for the Upper Room Mission and the Salvation Army Food Bank,” said Vernon Kia general manager Curt Jensen.

The event will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Local firefighters and other emergency personnel will be on hand cooking hot dogs and hamburgers, which will be available for purchase by donation (along with beverages such as bottled water and pop). A drive-thru system will be established so that people can drop off non-perishable food items which will be donated to the Upper Room Mission and Salvation

Army Food Bank. “This is the fifth year Kia dealers have been involved with Drive Change and it’s important for us to give back by driving change in our local community,” said Jensen. “We hope to stock the shelves at the food banks before Christmas.” Firefighters will also be demonstrating how to correctly install a child seat in a vehicle at the event.

Organizers of the Kalamalka Classic Standup Paddleboard Festival are stoked to announce this year’s schedule. The largest festival of its kind in Canada is expected to draw more than 200 paddlers from across North America to Kal Beach Aug. 30 and 31. “It has a competitive element with the crowing of the king and queen of Kalamalka, but it’s more about getting everyone in the family involved, whether it be a recreational paddle, kids race, or a chance to cross the full length of Kal Lake”, said Kevin O’Brien, race director. The events include: The Eagle Dash Recreational Race – a short 2 mile ‘social’ race for new paddlers to get their feet wet. A great chance to get involved in the festival and get some exercise. Do it solo or with a partner! WikiHolo – An exciting event that includes a Le Mans-Style beach start, around a buoyriddled course and back to the beach for a short beach run… and another lap. Great for spectators and paddlers alike. KeikiHolo – Same as the WikiHolo but for all kids 13 years and under. The kids get to do a pre-race clinic with World Champion, Lina Augaitis, followed by their own race. Medals for top three, t-shirts for all Naish N1SCO Team Relay – Teams of 4 will compete head-to-head around a short course for prizes and fun. Sunday’s marquee event is the 5th annual Kalamalka Crossing - A 10 mile scenic trek across the full length of Kalamalka Lake from Oyama to Kalamalka Beach – Do it for the exercise, for the challenge, or race it to beat the clock. Proceeds go to the Society for the Protection of Kalamalka Lake. “Their efforts help preserve the health of Vernon’s drinking water and create awareness for our amazing lake,” said O’Brien.

Mediator ready to monitor tom fletcher Black Press

Mediator Vince Ready has met the two sides in B.C.’s festering teacher dispute and agreed to “monitor” the situation. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association announced Ready’s involvement in a joint statement Thursday, confirming that he met separately with negotiators Wednesday. A media blackout on the talks began last week and will continue. “Mr. Ready agreed to monitor the situation, and to resume exploratory talks or commence full mediation when he believes it will be proFassbender ductive,” the statement says. Talks broke off and a fullscale strike and lockout ended the school year in June. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Kelleher met both sides earlier but declined to attempt mediation, after finding too large a gap between the two sides. Education Minister Peter Fassbender and BCPSEA chief negotiator Peter Cameron have maintained that the BCTF’s benefit demands remain far beyond those of other public sector unions that have settled contracts. Also at issue is class size and special needs support, with BCPSEA’s latest offer rejected by the union and the latest of a series of court actions scheduled for this fall. Ready’s last involvement in the long-running series of teacher disputes was as an industrial inquiry commissioner in 2007. At that time he recommended that a senior provincial official be involved in talks along with an independent mediator.

From the Farrah Fawcett to the Dorothy Hamill, when it comes to hair styles, Carol Roney has seen it all. And for the longtime owner of Beauty Haven, every day is a new adventure, whether she’s setting a perm, touching up roots or doing a blow-out. Roney always knew she wanted to be a hair dresser so when she graduated from Revelstoke secondary school, she wasted no time in signing up for the six-month hair styling course at Blair’s School of Hairdressing in downtown Vernon. “I always enjoyed doing hair and when I used to babysit as a teenager I did hair on the kids’ Barbie dolls,” said Roney, who purchased Beauty Haven in 1975 and has recently relocated the downtown Vernon business to new premises down the street. After graduating from Blair’s, Roney did a one-year apprenticeship back home in Revelstoke then a one-month course at a vocational school in Vancouver to complete her education and earn her licence But having met Gerry Roney, the man who would become her husband, there was no question she would eventually make her home in Vernon. “I met Gerry in 1972 and I worked at a few different salons part-time, eventually working at Beauty Haven under its previous owner. My daughter was just five months old when I started working there.” In the early days, each styling station was surrounded by curtains, giving clients privacy. “And we sold lots of wigs in the early days but the difference is that in those days people wore them as a fashion accessory and didn’t mind people knowing they were wearing a wig. Now, we sell them more for people who have lost their hair for medical reasons.” Roney began working at the salon in September, 1974 — the following May, she was the new owner of Beauty Haven. “I had no intention of buying a salon, but one of the other stylists convinced me.” Roney’s daughters, Heather and Rachelle, provided the ideal models for their mom to try out different hair styles. “They have had some fun hair styles over the years,” said Roney, laughing. “I would go to hair shows and come back very excited to try the latest style on my girls, although they weren’t always so enthusiastic.” Now, with her daughters grown up and

Carol Roney welcomes both longtime and new clients to her salon, Beauty Haven; the longtime downtown business has moved to new premises. living on the Coast, Roney makes regular trips south to see them, and her three grandchildren. “I get to do their hair when I go down, and my grandson Jack has just informed me that he would like purple hair when he starts school, so that’s what we’ll do.” And while styles come and go, there is one constant that never changes: the relationships Roney has with her clients, many of whom have been climbing the Beauty Haven staircase for years. “We still do lots of perms and colours,” she said. “I feel you have to be able to offer the traditional mixed with the new — I used to do the old pin curl wave, and in the old days it used to be all roller sets and updos and the customers would come and wait their turn to be combed out. Nowadays people want something fast, but we do have a lot of clients who are in no hurry, who are happy to just relax and enjoy their time here. “We have a very loyal clientele and I have people who have been coming here for more than 40 years, since before I bought the salon. Service is so important and my girls are so helpful — we have long-term clients where we have gone to their home or to the hospital if they couldn’t make it in. And it was nothing for us to carry walkers and oxy-

gen tanks up the stairs for our clients.” Roney and her stylists — Rosalie and Sue — stay up to date by attending hair shows and she said it keeps them fresh and excited about what they’re doing. “But I still have some customers who come in for a wash and set every week.” Two weeks ago, Roney packed up her styling tools and re-opened Beauty Haven at the old Styles on Mane location. “I woke up at 3 a.m. one morning and made the decision that it was time to move the shop. And as soon as we told our customers, they were all so excited.” The new space is bright and airy, with black and chrome chairs, glittering light fixtures, a kitchen and space for an electrologist. “The first thing I put in was the chandeliers, I wanted it to look elegant,” said Roney, who chose a black and white colour scheme and put her husband to work drywalling, painting and recovering chairs. “We have some amazing friends in the business and they were so good at getting everything done, and my husband worked non-stop to get everything finished in time.” At the Aug. 22 grand opening of Beauty Haven’s new location, Roney will be joined by members of her close-knit family. “My daughters want us to do the ‘70s

styles for the grand opening, which would be fun, so we’ll see.” Roney said the best part of her new salon is that it is on the ground floor. “So I’ve had clients come back to us who could not make it up the stairs before.” After four decades in the business, Roney said she still loves every aspect of her work. “I love all of it, someone asked me recently if I get tired doing perms and the same thing, but I don’t think about, I just get on with it and I really enjoy it.”

Lumby resident Fred Ogloff and Barb Dyck, administrator with the Lumby Health Centre, welcome drivers to the Defensive Driving Clinic taking place Thursday in Lumby.

Refresh those driving skills If you’ve been looking for a way of upgrading your driving skills, look no further than the Lumby Health Centre, which is hosting a free workshop presented by Extreme Professional Driver Training Thursday in Lumby. “Usually this clinic would cost approximately $900,” said Georgie Hay, a member of the Lumby & District Health Services Society. “We have this opportunity to hone driving skills for people of all ages for free! “Attending this event will update your driving skills and teach you the current traffic rules for things like yellow lights, emergency vehicles and we’ll also learn some of these new signs — I know sometimes I find them very confusing. “We will be challenged on the way we think about how we drive. We will also discuss parking and backing up in a safe and legal way. This clinic is a whole day of learning and applying our newly sharpened driving skills.” Lumby resident Fred Ogloff has always supported the Lumby Health Centre and appreciates the presentations, health forums, workshops and seminars, attending quite a few over the years. He has been concerned about the way some drivers don’t always follow the proper techniques, forgetting about

laws and driving etiquette, sometimes forgetting road safety all together. “Fred requested this clinic quite some time ago, and here it is,” said Hay. There are no credits to be earned and taking this course does not change the status

of your current driver’s licence, nor absolve any past traffic violations or convictions. “Every driver is a passenger,” said Ogloff. “I strongly urge everyone to take in as much of this free defensive driving clinic as possible.” The clinic runs

Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Whitevalley Community Resource Centre, 2250 Shields Ave., Lumby. Preregister by calling Barb or Maureen at 250-5479741 or Ogloff at 250547-6888. If you want to drive the obstacle course, please bring your own vehicle.

WWE legend Mick Foley brings one-man show Morning Star Staff

Wrestling legend Mick Foley takes the stage at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre next month, with his one-man show, Hardcore Legend: An Evening with Mick Foley. His multi-faceted career has seen Foley turn from three-time WWE champion to two-time New York Times number-one best-selling author to his present incarnation as sole-proprietor of his one-man stage show. Showcasing his trademark blend of wildness and warmth, and combining the humour fans loved from his books and in-ring “promos,” with the intensity of his most famous matches, the show is by turns uproariously funny, simply surreal and surprisingly sensitive — a full-course meal for the senses, including Q&A and meet and greet — all done with the use of just one, solitary F-bomb. One of the cornerstones of WWE’s meteoric rise in the late ‘90s, Mick Foley earned the nickname “The Hardcore Legend” for his ability to absorb seemingly inhuman punishment in some of the most dramatic matches in sports-entertainment history. Already a respected veteran for his 11 physically punishing years wrestling under the name Cactus Jack, Foley’s career soared to new heights in WWE as “Mankind,” a character Foley claimed was inspired by a combination of reading Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein and listening to the music of Tori Amos. As Cactus Jack, Foley won the 1995 “King of the Deathmatch” tournament in

mick Foley brings his one-man show to the Vernon & District Performing Arts centre Sept. 18. Yokohama, Japan, and continued wrestling, despite the amputation of his right ear, in a match against Vader in Munich, Germany in 1994. As Mankind, Foley was a three-time WWE champion, but is best known for his epic and brutal battle with The Undertaker in 1998’s “Hell in a Cell” match, during which he was knocked unconscious after falls both off of and through the 16-foot cell structure. Despite the injury, Foley finished

the match — with one of his front teeth lodged in his nose. With his in-ring retirement looming, Foley penned his own memoir (by hand, on 700 pages of notebook paper) and shocked the literary world when the book, Have a Nice Day, hit number-one on The New York Times best-seller list in October 1999. The book remained on the Times list for 26 weeks. A follow-up, 2001’s Foley is Good hit

number-one on The New York Times list as well. Foley has published a total of 10 books: four memoirs, four children’s books and two novels. After speaking at some of the United States’ most respected colleges and universities, Foley decided to take his verbal skills into the world of spoken-word and comedy and made his headlining debut in 2009, before a sold-out crowd at the world-famous Hollywood Improv. He has since performed at both Montreal’s Just For Laughs Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the two largest comedy festivals in the world, has headlined tours of the U.K., Ireland and Australia, and performed for American service-members in the Middle East and South Korea. Foley’s acting credentials include 30 Rock, and Boy Meets World and he was featured in the critically acclaimed documentary Beyond the Mat. He has done voice work on Squidbillies and Avatar: the Last Airbender. His list of guest appearances includes The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Late Night with Conan O’Brien and several appearances on Today. He was featured in a 2010 story on ABC’s World News Tonight for his work as an online volunteer with RAINN, the nation’s largest anti-sexual assault organization. Hardcore Legend: An Evening with Mick Foley is Sept. 18 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $37.50 each, available through the Ticket Seller box office at 3800-33rd St., online at www.ticketseller.ca or by calling 250-549SHOW (7469).

Vernon Film Society wraps up summer season with We Are the Best! Vernon Film Society Special to The Morning Star

The Vernon Film Society is pleased to announce that the last film of the 2014 summer season (celebrating the VFS 30th anniversary) is We Are The Best!, showing at the regular times of 5:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. Monday at the Vernon Towne Cinema. Provocative Swedish auteur Lukas Moodysson (Show Me Love, Together) returns with this raucous and ebullient tale of three preteen outcasts who form an all-girl punk band. With the ebullient and raucous We are the Best!, Swedish master Lukas Moodysson returns to the territory he mined in one of his first features, Together. Set in early 1980s Stockholm, the film focuses on three girls, Bobo, Klara and Hedvig — outcasts who are about to enter their teenage years, and share little with their classmates. The other girls are offended by their independence and the boys just don’t

like their punk-influenced style and bravado. They’re even less enamoured of the trio when they start their own band — that’s something only boys should be doing. The adults are even more useless. Bobo’s mother is a serial dater who’s into partying and seldom knows where Bobo is. Klara’s parents are gruesomely happy (when they’re not arguing about ridiculous stuff), and Hedvig’s mom is a devout Christian. Based on a graphic novel, We are the Best! is a paean to DIY culture and the need for revolt. Neglected or taken for granted at home and school, the girls react by making themselves unignorable, sporting mohawks and brush cuts. When they’re mocked for looking different they demand centre stage. Psychologically accurate and energetic, with a profound awareness of how kids behave and what motivates them, We are the Best! pays tribute to the accidental rebels who object to the system instinctively as much as intellectually — and have the courage not to hide their

opposition to it. It’s propelled by a skilled ensemble cast led by the three young principals, who make everything from fights over the same boy to your first public spew utterly poignant and believable. “There is hardly a shortage of movies about rock ’n’ roll, but there are few as perfect — which is to say as ragged, as silly, as touching or as true — as We Are the Best!.” — A.O. Scott, New York Times The VFS is pleased to note its partnership with the Film Circuit, presented by the Toronto International Film Festival and its sponsors. Please check our web site for schedule and further reviews: www.vernonfilmsociety.bc.ca We Are the Best! shows at the Vernon Towne Cinema, 291030th Ave., Monday at 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. All seats are $7, with tickets on sale at the theatre and the Bean Scene coffee house. The film is rated PG, with some coarse language and violence and is in Swedish with English subtitles.

into the storm

he storm is the star. Storm chasing scientists, redneck stuntmen as well as high school staff and students are among those who find themselves going Into the Storm, whether they like it or not. We say, “It’s Twister on steroids, with inferior actors.” TAYLOR: The audience doesn’t Taylor and Howe really need to know much going into this one. It’s a movie about surviving a freak series of tornadoes. You can expect to see the establishment of the characters: the broken family, the crazy thrill seekers, the cold-hearted scientist, the vice-principal authority figure, all about to be blown away by a windy special effects bonanza. The effects are very good but the acting is often terrible. What we have here are actors you probably have seen around, but don’t know the names of. They are what I would call TV grade. HOWE: TV grade acting is being a little kind I feel, I’ve seen better acting on billboards. But I found it entertaining and did its job well enough for what it is, an action flick. The first 30 minutes is pretty slow and dull, trying to get you to connect with the characters, but I found I wasn’t that bothered about them. The film seems to have an identity crisis as it is filmed in two types of styles. At first it tries to make out it’s a documentary with characters talking and looking into a handicam that’s shaking badly, but it also is filmed like a regular movie. So which is it?

Reel Reviews

“Are you seeing this?” repeats everyone as they head Into the Storm. TAYLOR: True, but still I found myself quite titillated by this poorly defined film. After all, it’s one thing to place an actor in the middle of a hail storm then say “action” it’s another to have them point up into a green screen and say “Oh my God, look at that!” I can let some poor acting slip by my radar, none of these actors are meant to carry the film. I did, however, grow weary of everyone being saved just in the nick of time. The one death we do see, (there were other deaths in the film, just unseen) was awesome. Not awesome that he died, but what a way to go! (Sorry, I can’t tell you how he dies, that would spoil what is probably something you’ve never seen before.) HOWE: I thought the effects were very good for being a smaller action movie, but I am surprised they didn’t

New LiNe CiNema

cash in on the whole 3D thing. Into the Storm could have been better using that technology with trees, flames and bits of cars flying towards you. It will get compared to Twister for what it is and is it any better? I would have to say no. Twister had some nice cheese to its acting, whereas this cheese stinks. TAYLOR: This film has no meat on its bones. It’s not trying to make a comment about global warming, it’s not about the American spirit and its ability to rebuild. Into the Storm just wants to put you inside a tornado and scream into your ear, “Well, whattaya think?” — Taylor gives Into the Storm 2 eyes out of 5. — Howe gives it 2 school buses out of 5. The feature is currently playing at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Phantom of the Opera comes to Enderby Morning Star Staff

Coloratura soprano and local and international diva Melina Moore, and international Broadway and London West End legend, Welsh tenor Peter Karrie, are touring the Okanagan singing all the hits of Phantom of the Opera as well as other selections from Karrie’s best known musical theatre roles, bringing their show to

Enderby on Aug. 27. Karrie played the Phantom in London, Toronto, Vancouver, Singapore and Hong Kong. “He earned the title of The World’s Most Popular Phantom from the Worldwide Phantom of the Opera Appreciation Society,” said Diana Inselberg, vice-president of the Enderby & District Arts Council, which is pre-

senting the show. He was made an honorary Canadian citizen upon completing his Phantom role in Vancouver for almost a decade. Argentine-born and trained at the Juilliard School of Music in New York, Moore has lived in Vernon for almost 20 years. She has performed in opera and Broadway productions, and with symphonies

and orchestras across British Columbia. She produces musical theatre productions through her academy, Valley Vocal Arts, a vocal training and performance studio in Vernon. She is also the monthly headlining performer at Sparkling Hill Wellness Resort. “Together their voices provide a moving, intimate concert experience — not to be

missed,” said Inselberg. Moore and Karrie perform hits from Phantom of the Opera Aug. 27 at 7 p.m. at the Enderby Evangelical Chapel on Mill Street. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for youth under 18, available at the Courtyard Gallery in Enderby, Monday to Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., or at the door. For more information, call Inselberg at 250-8382141.

Arts Artists offer their wisdom Morning Star Staff

The coffee will be on and the brushes will be out as the North Okanagan Chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists hosts a demo day on Wednesday at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum and Art Gallery. “Demystifying the Painting Process” features four of the chapter’s artists, Juve Furtado, Sherry Kalloch, Gail Short and Terry Greenough. “It is open to all artists and non-artists alike and there is no charge, although a donation is always graciously accepted,” said Sherry MacFarlane, gallery administrator. “All of the artists participating will be striving to involve the guests and to demystify the painting process.” Vernon artist and chapter president Furtado will emcee the event, introducing the artists, explaining the projects and handling the questions. Salmon Arm artist Kalloch will sketch in her journal, demonstrating with art materials and discussing the importance of an art journal. Vernon artist Short will share her experiences and respond to questions, while Greenough, a Salmon Arm artist and art teacher, will be doing a demonstration and involving the participants in his project. “The plan is to start with Terry, who will begin at 11 a.m. and work through part of the lunch hour, while Sherry and Gail will

end the event, hopefully wrapping up by 2 p.m. — and Juve will certainly encourage questions.” Demystifying the Painting Process, a painting demonstration and art journal workshop, takes place

Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the gallery, 3415 Pleasant Valley Rd., Armstrong. Participants are encouraged to bring a brown bag lunch. For more information, please call 250546-8318.

Live Well

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist MARCIA BELEY

Many people experience difficulty sleeping. One idea that can help is regular exercise during the day. Exercising before bedtime can result in the opposite effect so try to keep it to no less than three hours before bed. The human kidney is a bean-shaped organ the size of a fist and they are real workhorses in our bodies. Besides removing waste and excess fluids, they also manufacture hormones that keep blood pressure in check. They also regulate the levels of sodium and potassium and are involved in making red blood cells. Kidneys are damaged by high blood pressure. To protect your kidneys and if you have a high blood pressure diagnosis, it’s really important to follow your doctor’s instructions about lifestyle choices and to take any prescribed medication exactly as your doctor orders. High blood pressure can affect many body organs and our kidneys are just one of them. The incidence of autism is about 1 in 100 children. The severity varies greatly and researchers are working diligently to discover its cause. The number of cases of autism appears to be rising. It could be due to better diagnostic techniques. Some researchers are looking to environmental pollution as part of the cause. There is so much research going on on the world of medicine and pharmacy. Our professional pharmacists keep current on this research. It makes us better pharmacists so we are able to serve you more effectively.

IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURE Are loose dentures a problem for you? If your dentures shift while chewing or talking and you are tired of those embarrasing moments, consider dental implants for stabilization. Imagine your denture snapping into place, feeling solid and secure. Often a new denture is not necessary. Your existing denture can be made to fit your new implants.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder WE TRY TO CURE BAD BRIDGE HABITS In his “Comic Dictionary,” Evan Esar defined a zoo as an excellent place to study the habits of human beings. This week, we are going to study some of the bad habits of bridge players and try to cure them. First, we will start with declarer play. South is in three no-trump. What should he do after West leads a fourth-highest heart four and East plays his eight? South starts with six top tricks: two spades, two hearts (given the first trick) and two diamonds. He must work on clubs to get the extra winners. However, the defender with the club ace will not take the first round

of the suit, but the second. Then South will need a dummy entry to get to the three club tricks. And what is the only entry? It has to be in hearts. But if South makes the habitual play at trick one of winning cheaply with his heart jack, he won’t see the dummy again. South must take the first trick with his heart ace. Then, after driving out the club ace and winning East’s probable spade-jack shift, South can lead a low heart to force an entry to the dummy. Get into the habit of playing slowly at trick one. Lastly, how would East know to take the second, not third, round of clubs? West gives his partner a

count signal in clubs. Here, with an odd number, he plays his lowest club first. Alternatively, if he had a doubleton club, he would play high-low. Note that if East ducks two clubs, South can shift to spades and take three spades, two hearts, two diamonds and two clubs.

Kevin Fors

September 20th 1965 – August 8th 2014 In shock and sadness we make known the passing of Kevin Fors on the 8th of August, 2014. Kevin lost his life in a motorcycle accident during the weeklong trip that he and his friends take every year. He spent his last days riding his Harley through the back-roads of Washington State under the summer sun. He leaves wife Jeri, the love of his life, and two children, BriƩany, 18, and Devin, 21. Although Kevin passed-on a long way from home, the support of Kevin’s family and close friends and the care of the staī at Central Washington Hospital in Wenatchee was a comfort to all. Kevin was an organ donor, and although he lost his life, he saved many others.

Kevin was born in sernon and aƩended sernon Secondary School, during which Ɵme he met Jeri. dhe two were high school sweethearts, and later married at O’Keefe ranch on May 25th, 1991. dhey built their family home in Vernon, and have remained side by side for the last 30 years. Kevin started working in the baking industry at the age of eighteen, when he began his career at Vernon’s Baker’s Doǌen. AŌer years of hard work alongside owners Bill and Pat SƟƩ and Philip dhornton, Kevin joined the partnership and co-founded OK Froǌen Dough in Armstrong, B.C. With much of his characterisƟc determinaƟon, Kevin, along with close friend and business partner Phil, built the business into a trusted manufacturer of bakery products distributed throughout Western Canada. Kevin is deeply missed by lifelong friends and management staī, Zandy, Larry, and Zay, Bruce Glaicar and all of the OK Froǌen Dough team. His legacy remains widely respected by his many friends and colleagues throughout the baking industry.

Kevin will be remembered as being a family man through and through. dhe Fors did most everything together, enjoying a truly Okanagan lifestyle, whether out boaƟng on one of the valley’s lakes, AdVing, or vacaƟoning at their cabin on Shuswap Lake. Kevin valued Ɵme spent outdoors, and liked to hunt, as well as ride his motorcycle, and explore with Charlie, his English bulldog. Kevin and Jeri enjoyed watching the sun set from their deck over Swan Lake, with glasses of wine and good conversaƟon. For his kids, Kevin always gave the right kind of advice, and they always felt like they had someone to talk to, someone who knew what was right to say. Kevin was very proud of BriƩany and Devin, in all of their endeavors. He liked to joke with the two of them, and they heard a lot of, ͞Do as I say, not as I do͊͟ But it seems Ƌuite clear that Kevin’s life, although much too short, was one where both what he said and did remains a standard to aspire to. Kevin will be deeply missed by his many friends and family members, including those friends at his bedside in Wenatchee, Zay and damara Ponsioen and Phil and Carol dhornton, father Stan (and partner Pat), mother Jeanie Clarke, as well as brothers Jason (Michelle and children Jordan and Brodie), Aaron (Kim and children Shayla, Erika, drevor, Kyle), Danny (Louise and children Ethan and Mikey), and sisters Jolene and Zobyn (drevor and daughter Anika). He is also much missed by Jeri’s close family, parents Gerry and Loraine, sister deri (Al), and niece Ashley.

We love you, Kevin. The Employment Program of British Columbia is funded by the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia.
