However, neither level of government purchased the line and now CN Rail will try to negotiate with municipal governments to offload the railway.

The fact the two senior levels of government did not reach a deal wasn’t a surprise to the Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative and in fact the volunteer group says they are giving a potential trail a better than even chance of becoming a reality.

“We actually didn’t expect the federal or provincial governments to purchase the right of way,” said Brad Clements, a director for the rail trail group.

“We know there is a strong appetite for preserving the corridor at the municipal level and we are confident they will negotiate with

Today, we give it an 80 per cent chance.”

With the rail line out of use and CN looking to sell it to government, Clements and a group of individuals began lobbying for a trail to link the communities of Kelowna, Lake Country, Coldstream and Vernon. The Okanagan Indian Band is also

involved in the process and is claiming parts of the trail as traditional First Nations land.

Clements says having the OKIB involved in the process is integral to its success.

“The Okanagan Indian Band is a key partner in this process as the right of way also passes through two of their reservation properties,” said Clements.

We respect their current situation and will support them in finding a solution.”

Reports have the asking price for CN Rail to sell the line as high as $50 million.

All of the municipalities have joined forces to try and make the trail a reality and Clements says the asking price is just the start of talks.

“It’s just that, an asking price,” he said. “The price will be unreasonably high. I would suspect the municipalities will in turn offer an unreasonably low first offer. The real work will begin after that. We know that both parties wish to see this deal work so I would think they will both work to actively find a solution.”

A lot of variety at fair lisa vandervelde/richard rolke Morning Star Staff

There’s something for everyone in Armstrong.

Many people have specific reasons for attending the 115th Interior Provincial Exhibition, which wraps up today.

“It is really nice that they have this children’s corner. It is just wonderful,” said Enderby’s Joan Glanfield, who was introducing her two-year-old grandson Adam Mahmoud to the fair for the first time.

Friends Iyla Makeive, 11, and Taylor Land, 11, love the midway and only get off the rides to eat.

When asked if they every feel sick going on so many rides Makeive said “I don’t get sick except once at the Lumby fair, but that’s because I ate too many mini doughnuts before.”

Touring the IPE rounds were Geri and Bryan Cook and their 11 year-old granddaughter VioletJade Corlett-Barry, of Courtenay.

Corlett-Barry performs in a circus act as an aerial artist so her favourite part of the fair was the Euro Bungy that allows you to flip and bounce.

“We missed it (IPE) last year so it was a must this year. This is a wonderful fair for Armstrong,” said Geri Cook.

While this is the last day of the fair, North Okanagan residents are still being encouraged to take in the fun.

Professional

“It’s such a family friendly, positive place to be,” said Bryan Burns, IPE general manager.

“There’s a combination of entertainment and agriculture.”

The variety is obviously a draw as 16,262 people passed through the gate Wednesday and there were 18,971 Thursday.

Attendance was expected to surge Friday, Saturday and today.

“Friday is usually our third busiest day and Saturday and Sunday are our first and second busiest,” said Burns.

In 2013, 149,782 people attended the annual celebration in Armstrong.

Burns has been receiving positive comments about this year’s offering of the fair.

“I had a guy who came just one day last year and he came for all five days this year because it’s such a great fair,” he said.

An expected highlight today is the Wrangler Rodeo Shoot Out at the grandstand at 8 p.m.

“It’s the best of the best. It will be a great rodeo,” said Burns.

The top eight in each event from the Wrangler Tour will compete for an additional $4,000 per event. The Wrangler Tour champions will also win a bye into the 2015 Calgary Stampede.

I

Bring on September

t’s the last official crack at summer and the annual lament of “how fast did the last two months go anyway?” across these parts.

And I echo that lament after a whirlwind summer that turned out to be old school as far as sunshine and lack of precipitation.

It was an old-fashioned Okanagan summer and hopefully you got out there and enjoyed it, although September in these parts is usually almost as good, and without the heat which means better in some people’s books.

But I have a confession to make.

I’m OK with the onset of September.

Now that might sound almost sacrilegious in Glenn Mitchell these parts, and I don’t mean I didn’t enjoy summer, especially the holidays part, but I actually think I’m ready for a little more routine in my life.

Although if I’m going to be perfectly honest I’m probably not what you would call a guy who lives for summer anyway.

I mean I’m OK at it. I do camp a little, hit the beach the odd time, usually without actually hitting the water however, and I long ago gave up on trying to get a tan.

I don’t really have the body for it anymore, yeah, like I ever did, and my skin, alas, has a tendency to burn more than tan. It could be that Norwegian/English/Scottish heritage thing, I don’t know.

If I don’t wear a baseball hat while out in the sun for more than 16.7 minutes my bald spot turns into a red spot which turns into....

Well anyway you get my drift.

And, another thing, September is one of my favourite times of the year.

It used to mean minor hockey was starting but for the first time in 17 years it doesn’t mean that anymore for yours truly.

Heavy sigh.

Of course it means no more 6 a.m. practices

MitChEll’S MuSingS

or every weekend dominated by having two sons in the sport, but it was also a major part of our social network as you see friends and family on an ongoing basis in the rink and at the coffee shops and, especially on road trips, so it’s so easy to stay in touch and connected...

I’m slowly adjusting to that reality and my wife says I have to get my own life back, and she’s right, but that’s going to take some work on my part.

Instead of making sure my kids were active and happy and well adjusted, I’m going to have to look in the mirror a little bit more, with my baseball hat on of course.

I guess I could do more now without minor hockey in my life.

Like I said I have way more time on my hands now this month and the weather is almost always ideal in September.

We could never go camping before at this time of year, due to rep tryouts and such, so that door just opened.

And we can have campfires and maybe actually get a site at Mabel Lake on a Friday night.

A little cooler at night for sure and you might have to bundle up while boating a bit and swimming is likely out, but like I said I don’t actually go in the water that much anyway, especially at Mabel.

Plus there’s golfing. Back in the day I actually could hit it straight and if I actually got out more than five times a year I might be able to get my swing back.

And then there’s that running course I enjoyed, well, quite a few years ago.

Although not necessarily my favourite activity, I found in a group environment, with the inherent encouragement and accountability and teamwork that involves, it was quite OK and I actually finished a 10K, while almost running the whole time.

So really it may be the end of an era in my life but it could be the dawning of a new, exciting one, if I only get off my butt and do it.

I figure the odds are 50/50 at this point but, hey, bring on September and so long summer.

Before jumping all over ICBC for requesting a 5.2 per cent hike for basic insurance, let’s look at their reasons for the request.

Bodily injury claims hit $1.9 billion in 2013, up $73 million from 2012 and by more than $500 million from five years earlier. Medical costs are also up.

And what has happened in the past five years? Technology.

The ever-growing use of cellphones and other personal electronic devices by drivers is a major factor cited for the rise in injury claims.

But why should those of us without cell phones pay more because of the irresponsibility of some of those with them? Perhaps it’s time for ICBC to start awarding further reductions to those who do not have cell phones, or those who don’t use them in cars.

Of course, something like that would be near impossible to monitor. The real solution is for the automotive industry to jump in and rectify the situation.

Here’s how.

Install a mechanism in the motor of the car that renders smartphones, laptops and other such instrumentation useless, while the engine is engaged.

Impossible? Hardly. After all, you can turn on the lights of your house from a hotel room now. A disengage switch for smartphones should be a breeze.

Don’t consider it Big Brother.

Consider it improvement to vehicle safety for the good of all.

Remember, seatbelts used to be optional; as did motorcycle helmets. Plenty of people protested those laws as well. But we eventually got over it.

Heaven forbid that we should be forced to drive without the use of a phone, or a laptop, or a DVD player. That’s so 1990.

And what did car insurance cost in 1990?

Councillor states case for plant

here has been a lot of emotional debate surrounding the proposed Pinnacle pellet plant in Lavington. In my view, and past experience, it is necessary to listen before you speak, then gather your facts and make a rational decision.

We live in a valley surrounded by hills and mountains. Valleys, unlike the prairies, or the coast, tend to have poor air venting, and may experience inversions and cloud cover in the winter.

The air dispersion modeling study conducted by Jeff Lundgren, of RWDI Consulting Engineers, concluded that the maximum predicted concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5 to be produced by the plant, were far less than the most stringent objectives.

However, it also concluded that background level of concentration for the PM2.5 particles was already at 97 per cent of the permissible provincial air quality objective, so when you add the

predicted new emissions from the pellet plant to the background emissions, you exceed the provincial air quality objective for PM 2.5 by 0.1 microgram per cubic meter at Lavington School.

Quote from RDWI Report, “The (total) annual PM 2.5 concentration at Lavington school of 8.1 exceeded the annual PM2.5 objective of eight, based on a background concentration of 7.75." There were no other exceedances predicted at other sensitive receptors modeled in the area.

We live in a valley and province that are badly in need of good jobs and tax revenue to fund our worldclass health, education and social programs. Everywhere you turn, people are demanding more services from government.

The forest industry has traditionally been, and will continue to be, a key driver of the North Okanagan economy as well as a significant contributor to govern-

PLANT PROCESS FLAWED I am still sitting here wondering how Lavington has become viewed as being the major industrial area of Coldstream.

If we proposed this pellet plant to be anywhere along the rail within the Coldstream area, meaning not in Lavington, most residents would be up in arms and against it all the same.

Most people figure that since we already have the mill here, what's another industry?

But that's not the point. The point from the very beginning is the fact that we already have one of the poorest air qualities in all of B.C., with Vernon pushing provincial standards of 8ug/m3, with a value of 7.75ug/m3. Our district mayor and council seem to be disregarding the health concerns associated with trying to squeeze one more large industrial polluter into our neighborhood.

There was mention of an airshed management program to possibly be implemented to help residents clean up their acts toward the environment in order to make an allowance to facilitate the emissions that will be negatively contributing to our existing air quality. Why is the onus being placed on the residents to make

ment revenues at all levels.

The technology proposed for this pellet plant is stateof-the-art. There are more than 3,000 installations in operation in Europe, and, I believe, only three prototypes in North America. If built in Lavington, the pellet plant, could serve as a model and example, for the growth of green technology throughout North America.

Most pellet plants in B.C. use wood fired heating systems to power rotary drying systems. By contrast, this pellet plant will use natural gas as a heat source, instead of wood fire heating, and

compromises so this facility can barely fit into our community?

Coldstream bears the motto, "rural living at its best" and has established an official community plan which has written bylaws that are supposed to protect the very nature of our environment's air, land and water.

Allowing such an industry as Pinnacle, with emissions that could be of great risk to human health, seems like the bylaws are of insignificant value in council's decision to rezone the land from RU2 to general industrial.

A few key points stated in Coldstream's OCP are that, "council's objective is to preserve the rural and agricultural character of Coldstream to the greatest extent possible" and, "except for lands identified as possible future residential area, discourage the redesignation of rural two land for more intense land uses."

When school board chairperson Bill Turanski requested that council consider postponing third reading until Aug. 27 when they have their first preliminary meeting, Mayor Garlick basically told him it was too late and that this has been going on for three weeks now. Shouldn't this information have been

low temperature bed drying, which has an introductory drying temperature of 130 degrees Celsius resulting in an emission concentration guaranteed by the manufacture to be less than 10 mg/ M3, based on their experience with over 3,000 installations in operation.

The proposed location for the pellet plant is on a seven-acre site across the CN rail track, from the existing Tolko planer mill in Lavington. The Coldstream official community plan has had the whole area where the planer mill is and where the former glass plant was,

designated as industrial for longer than most residents can remember.

The seven-acre site borders on about 190 acres of industrial land, and for the last 30 years, five acres (of the total seven) had been used to store the wood chip pile, essentially an industrial use, allowed as non-farm use by the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC).

The company has done its best to compensate agricultural interests in B.C. through its rezoning application and received approval from the ALC, which is rare and difficult to do.

There is no question in my mind that the background levels of particulate matter are very high in the Vernon, and Coldstream valleys.

The concern that parents have in Lavington should be shared by parents of children at schools in Lumby, Armstrong and Vernon.

There are many bad air quality days.

conveyed to the school board at the time when Pinnacle's application was made public?

This is where I truly believe the entire process has been flawed from the very beginning.

There was no community awareness on the matter until it was too late.

People have been heard saying that this makes economic sense and will bring families home from working up north. Most people I know choose to work up north not because of the lack of jobs here at home, but the fact that there is more money to be made there. Most people who are working away from home work in the oil industry as that is what they are trained for. They are not working in a pellet plant away from home in Prince George or Burns Lake.

So how are 20 jobs in a pellet plant going to bring these people home?

I believe that it is so much easier to be ignorant than it is to become informed as that takes time and effort.

I have to say that it is truly awesome that the more than 550 people who signed our petition chose to become informed.

Stephanie Hoffman

Instead of opposing and hampering all industry, because any industrial development will bring you over the thresholds (background levels are already at 97 per cent), we should welcome the efforts of Tolko and Pinnacle to have private industry, bring, and keep, good jobs in our area.

We should require very stringent air monitoring, with reporting available to the public as well as council, as part of the Ministry of the Environment’s environmental permit conditions.

Further, we should embark on a regional effort to monitor and lower the background particulate emissions valley wide, because we may find that a wood stove exchange program and bylaws would have a greater positive effect on the air quality than turning away a state of the art pellet plant, and a $40 million investment in our economy.

Coldstream continues to hammer down some record building stats.

With four months left in the year, the number of housing units to date is almost twice that for the same period in 2013. The total value of construction exceeds 2013 by nearly $600,000.

Just for the period of Aug. 1 to 19, 15 permits were issued with a combined value of $5.5 million.

“This compares to 12 permits and construction value of $2,799,500 for the same month last year,” reports Bob Bibby, building official.

July proved to be just slightly slower, with seven permits issued with a value of $3.51 million, compared to 12 permits for July 2013 with a value of $3.53 million.

“Total construction value to date exceeds the 2013 total for the entire year, with a full four months left to go,” said Bibby.

Panhandle opposed Coldstream prides itself in rural living at its best, which includes larger-than-average lot sizes, and it’s going to keep it that way.

A recent subdivision application sparked the debate over panhandle lots, where a second lot is created with a narrow strip of land for a driveway leading to a rear lot.

“I don’t think we’re ready for panhandle lots,” said Coun. Doug Dirk, noting that a lot of older lots created in the ‘70s are the larger lots which can accommodate this type of subdivision.

Coun. Richard Enns added: “Coldstream had a history of creating these and they cause a number of issues.”

There are also concerns of setting a precedent, which could lead to additional panhandle applications.

“It’s not the kind of densification I’d be in favour of,” said Coun. Maria Besso.

Pursuant To Section 26 of the Community Charter, the Municipal Council of the District of Coldstream is providing notice that the District intends to transfer to the owner of the property located at 7203 Coldstream Creek Road the property described below, a payment of $850 and other good and valuable consideration. The transfer of this property is to provide dedication for the construction of a multi-use pathway along the eastern side of Coldstream Creek Road. The consideration to be received by the District of Coldstream for the disposition of this property will be the dedication of the roadway, as shown below. The title transfer is proposed to take effect upon completion of all necessary documents.

Event backs health care Tyler lowey Morning Star Staff

The Lumby and District Health Services Society invites families out Sept. 20 for their inaugural walk, roll and run event as they help raise money for the Lumby Health Centre’s new CR reader X-ray workstation.

“It’s very important for our rural community – Lumby and its surrounding area – to come out in order to keep services like this in our community,” said fundraising chairman for LDHSS Pat Pointer.

“It is a big need for the community and we need people to get involved.”

The Prescription for Health event begins at the Lumby oval at 9:30 a.m., check-in begins at 8:30 a.m., and carries on though the salmon trails in town. There will be three distances set up - one, three and eight-kilometre tracks.

Families and people of all ages are encouraged to attend. Pointer hopes to see babies in strollers as well as seniors taking part in the walk.

Delores Pearson of the walkathon committee and Saddle Mountain Place in Lumby will be par-

taking in the walk.

“I will be out there and I’m bringing a bunch of people out from the complex. We are going to be on walkers and scooters, but we will be out there,” said Pearson.

Rocky Mountain high for Vernon runners

T

wo Vernon ladies had a goal in mind: run 120 miles in 30 hours over six days through the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.

Their friend simply wanted to finish the event known as the 2014 PepsiCo TransRockies Run. Roz Beaulieu, 56, co-owner of The Starting Block running store in downtown Vernon, completed her goal.

For Trish Marshall, 51, a nursing unit assistant at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, and Dawna Jodoin, 45, a stylist, their ambition quickly changed.

“Once we started the race we were like, ‘Oh please, God, let us finish, let us make it out alive,’” laughed Jodoin.

The Vernon ladies were among 420 from all over the globe that started the PepsiCo TransRockies Run in Buena Vista, Colo. on Aug. 12.

The event is run on a multiday, point-to-point format which allows athletes to access and traverse wild and fantastic scenery while building camaraderie, overcoming adversity and sharing a singular adventure.

The course runs from Buena Vista to Beaver Creek, through the heart of the White River and San Isabel National Forests.

Participating in the race was the brainchild of Jodoin, looking to cross a race off her bucket list. She convinced Marshall on Marshall’s 50th birthday to take part with her.

“I made her do a handshake in front of all of her friends to say she would run the race, then took a picture of her and posted it to Facebook to make sure she’d do it,” said Jodoin.

Beaulieu deadpanned: “She decided it should be on all our bucket lists.”

Initially, it was Jodoin and Marshall who were going to

Vernon runners Trish Marshall (from left), Dawna Jodoin and Roz Beaulieu gather for a selfie during the six-day, 120mile PepsiCo TransRockies Run in Colorado. compete in Colorado. When Beaulieu began training with them, she decided to enter the race.

The trio began what they called “10 months of taking the path of most resistance.” Intense training, five to six days a week for the first six months, doing their best to try and simulate the elevation change they would face in the U.S.

They were running up and down Silver Star Mountain, and running through the trails at Kal Lake Provincial Park.

The TransRockies course includes a mix of single-track trails and forest road with nearly 20,000 feet of elevation gain, reaching altitudes of more than 12,500 ft. (to compare, Silver Star’s summit is 6,280 feet above sea level).

In Colorado, Jodoin and Marshall ran separately for the first two days, then together for the final four, each overcoming adversity and, at times, each other.

“Day five was the hardest day mentally for me,” said Marshall.

“My foot was sore. I had a big, freaking blister on one of my toes and I felt every single rock, every single bump in the road.”

Said Jodoin: “I had to have a moment and told Trish I needed to be alone. Someone was being way too encouraging.”

“Nobody told me what to do,” chuckled Beaulieu, who competed by herself.

Marshall, who suffered from insomnia during the race because of the altitude, praised Jodoin for helping her out, nominating her for the daily Trail Hero award.

“She came second,” smiled Marshall.

Beaulieu had to overcome illness during the race.

“I got up the next day and said ‘If I make it, I make it, if I have to pull myself out, well...,’” said Beaulieu, who persevered and started feeling better.

“Mentally and physically, it was very challenging but the beauty of Colorado outweighed the pain. I thought more about that and got into the run again. I was there to enjoy it. I stopped, took lots of pictures. I just wanted to finish.”

Averaged out over the six days, the women ran essentially a half-marathon each day (there is also a three-day run). Beaulieu finished in about 40 hours, Jodoin and Marshall crossed the line together eight hours earlier in 32 hours.

“I still can’t believe what we accomplished,” said Marshall, who lost a toenail and figures she might lose another as a result of the race. “We met people from all over the world, we have new Facebook friends and I’m getting pictures sent to me from all over the world. It’s very cool. It’s a super, neat community of people that were there.”

Said Jodoin: “It was absolutely amazing. My husband and I are thinking of doing the race next year.”

The ladies wish to thank Mel Spooner of Endurance Health and Fitness for her coaching expertise.

New-look Vipers take the ice TYLER LOWEY

ISKF

Morning Star Staff

You are going to need a roster sheet handy to keep track of the 60 new Vernon Vipers who began scraping up the freshly-painted Kal Tire Place ice Friday morning as training camp got underway.

The theme at this year’s camp is turnover. Not the apple pie or giveaway variety, but this year’s Vipers will have a completely different look, player-wise.

Kenny Citron, Michael McNicholas, Riley Guenther, Liam Coughlin, T.J. Dumonceaux and Danny Todosychuk are the only returnees from last year’s RBC Cup semi-final run.

Citron, 20, is embracing his new role as a veteran in the locker room.

“I’m going to bring the compete level everyday to practice and push the tempo so when we get into games, its not going to be a big deal for us,” said Citron.

Of those impressionable 60 recruits were a pair of local kids who grew up idolizing the Vipers.

Jagger Williamson (no relation to head coach/GM Jason Williamson) has caught the eye of the coaching staff already and is looking to utilize his speed in camp.

“I see myself as a third or fourth line guy right now.

Hopefully this will be my year,” said Williamson, whose off-season workout partner, Blaine Caton, match with the Penticton Vees at Kal Tire Place. Camp continues today with more practices and more scrimmages against other Viper will enter Grade 12 when classes resume at Vernon Secondary.

Gourdine ties for ninth at B.C. Juveniles Morning Star Staff

It could have been better, it could have been worse for Mac Gourdine.

The Vernon Golf and Country Club member cracked the top-10 at the 54-hole B.C. Juvenile Golf Championships at the Royalwood Golf Course in Chilliwack.

Gourdine, 15, heading into Grade 11 at Seaton Secondary, shot rounds of 72, 73, 73 to finish at 2-over par 218, good for a tie for ninth place in the field of 81.

“I started off bad on the first hole each day, but I kept it together,” said Gourdine. “I played pretty well, just not so much on the first hole.

I’m pretty happy with the result.”

Gourdine, a righthanded player, had

never played Royalwood until the tournament.

“It was windy and pretty hard, but it set up pretty nice for my game, except that first hole,” he chuckled.

Richmond’s Diego San Pedro defeated Langley’s Jaewook Lee in a playoff to capture the provincial title. Both golfers finished regulation play at 6-under 210,

one shot ahead of A.J. Ewart of Coquitlam.

The only other Okanagan golfer beside Gourdine to make the 36-hole cut was Nicholas Jones of Kelowna, who

finished at 16-over, tied for 38th spot.

Nanaimo’s Shirin Anjarwalla (12-under) won the girl’s tournament by one shot over Victoria’s Naomi Ko.

The North Okanagan Knights have dropped the puck on their exhibition season as they speed towards their home opener in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League season.

Newly named head coach Jim Armstrong is enjoying his first tour with the team.

“It has been going good so far. Training camp has been competitive and good,” said Armstrong.

The Knights opened training camp Aug. 13 with fitness testing and drills on the ice.

“The testing went great. All these kids showed up in great shape which makes everything easier,” said Armstrong. “Then the older guys ran things on the ice and put guys in their place. It’s been easy so far.”

Thirty-one hopefuls showed up to camp vying for a spot on the roster. Armstrong is hoping to come to a conclusion on his team by the second week in September. Until then, the camp is fairly fluid with players continually being released and brought in.

The Knights played their first exhibition game of the fall and got blanked by the Kelowna Chiefs 4-0 at the Rutland Arena Thursday night.

“It was good to finally get in a game and give the

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder FROM THE SOCIAL SIDE OF BRIDGE Lillian Eichler Watson said, “Don’t reserve your best behavior for special occasions. You can’t have two sets of manners, two social codes - one for those you admire and want to impress, another for those whom you consider unimportant. You must be the same to all people.”

Similarly, don’t reserve your best bridge for special occasions.

You must play the same against all opponents.

The deals this week occurred during a social game of bridge, but all four were trying to play their best.

What do you think of the auction?

The first seven calls are fine (although if North-South had been using the support double, South could have doubled one spade to show three-card heart support and any point-count).

With nine points and three spades, West should have raised to two spades. Yes, partner was a passed hand, so game was impossible, and West’s hand was as flat as a pancake, but he ought to have made life harder for North. To bid two spades on the next round gave his opponents a fielder’s choice because North had been able to describe his hand.

Finally, South should have passed out two spades because he also had a pancake. True, that contract can be made, but three

diamonds had no chance.

South lost two spades, two diamonds and two clubs to go down two - luckily, but understandably, not doubled by West.

Bid your hand immediately and be cautious with 4-33-3 distribution when not in no-trump.

Author provides leadership tips Tyler lowey Morning Star Staff

After 36 years with the government of Alberta agriculture department, and fiveand-a-half years as deputy minister of that department, John Knapp releases all of his secrets for becoming a strong leader in his first book.

“I believe I can help people in their careers, in life and work by sharing my experiences as a leader,” said Knapp.

Now retired and living in Vernon for the past year, Knapp released his book, The Leader’s Practice Guide in May. It is for entry level and mid-level leaders and managers.

“The book is about the concept of morality of leadership and the duty of care to people he or she leads, putting them before yourself with true self sacrifice,” said Knapp.

“It involves listening, caring and supporting your team - that is how the model of leadership is defined.”

While at the helm of the agricultural department, Knapp was responsible for a $1.1 billion budget and a staff of 1,200 people.

The leadership and moral scores that his staff took while he was in charge averaged 27 to 28 points higher than any other department.

Before Knapp took over, there was a revolving door of department heads.

During his first 31 years with the department, he averaged a new boss every twoand-a-half years.

From those 14 different bosses, he was able to come up with three different classifi-

Tyler lowey/Morning STar

Vernon resident John Knapp has written The Leader’s Practice Guide. It is based on his experiences in administration positions. cations of leaders.

“The first group are the good-to-average level leaders. I learned from them and benefitted from what they didn’t do well and tried to find a better way to do things,” said Knapp.

“The second group are the types of leaders we have all had, the poor leaders. Team

members felt demoralized under them and were turned off and left the group. They often worked to rule instead of being productive. And the third group were the outstanding leaders, those who expressed the moral qualities and their team members willingly followed them.”

Knapp was too humble and wouldn’t

specify which group he believes he belonged in.

He rather let his peers decide his fate, stating that it isn’t about him, but the group.

“The impact of leading the right way is profound on the health of the group,” said Knapp.

Knapp graduated from the University of Alberta with a degree in agriculture in 1977.

He was the gold medalist in his class of 109 students.

He started writing his book on the weekends during his final two years with the department and completed it shortly after retiring.

These days, Knapp keeps busy by teaching classes on his book at Naramata Centre and in Edmonton.

Growing up in the city of champions, Knapp idolized former Eskimo quarterback Jackie Parker, who led the green and gold to three straight Grey Cups from 1954 to 1956.

“He wasn’t the most gifted athlete, but he was a thinker and an excellent motivator and a leader,” said Knapp.

In Knapp’s opinion, leaders just aren’t born in the depths of board rooms. Parents, athletes, volunteers and businesspeople can all learn something from this book.

He has four grandchildren, with one more on the way and plans of another book also on the way.

The Practice Guide for Senior Leaders, is available in book stores and in an e-book version. There will be a book signing Sept.

20 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Coles in the Village Green Centre.

Deal between provinces bolsters apprentices Morning Star Staff

Apprentices in B.C. and New Brunswick will now be able to seamlessly work in either province as a result of a memorandum of understanding.

Starting this fall, apprentices in B.C. and New Brunswick will be able to work in either province to achieve their Red Seal certificate, and move freely between the two provinces to take advantage of job opportunities.

“B.C. is entering a time of incredible opportunity, not only for British David Alward Columbians, but for all Canadians,” said Christy Clark, B.C. premier.

“In addition to meeting the needs of employers and apprentices in B.C. and New Brunswick, this agreement will complement the work our province is leading with other

provinces and territories to improve labour mobility across the country.”

The MOU is meant to address immediate and future demand for skilled labour in both B.C. and N.B., and ideally contribute to the development of a national apprenticeship mobility strategy.

“With new and emerging opportunities in the construction, oil and gas and forestry sectors on the horizon, this important agreement couldn’t have come at a better time,” sad David Alward, N.B. premier.

“It also complements a variety of efforts to support apprentices, create jobs and provide employers with the skilled workers they need for current and future generations.”

Differences in provincial and territorial apprenticeship certification requirements mean that for some Canadian apprentices, gaining the skills training required to achieve

their Red Seal certificate can be a challenge if they are unable to move to where the jobs are.

These differences also make it difficult for employers, particularly those who have operations in multiple Canadian jurisdictions, to employ apprentices from other parts of Canada to meet their short-term labour needs.

The MOU between B.C. and N.B will remove these barriers, and benefit both provinces by: n Supporting B.C.’s labour needs, beyond the supply of its available workforce, during peak labour demands through the mobility of N.B. apprentices. n Accelerating the certification of N.B. apprentices in their trades through employment with B.C. employers.

The MOU will be fully implemented by the fall 2014.

Apprentices will then be able to move freely between B.C. and New Brunswick to take advantage of job opportunities, which support their skills training in the trades.

Wedding bill blues

t’s very outdated now, but an old English rhyme had it that, at their weddings, brides should wear, “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, a sixpence in your shoe.”

The only part of that rhyme that still has resonance for newly married couples today is Bbue, as in the post-nuptial state when the newlyweds realize they outrageously overspent for their Andy Erickson wedding. And now, to coin another phrase, It’s time to pay the piper, the DJ, the caterer and on and on.

Thanks to Statistics Canada, we know that there are over 145,000 weddings in Canada each year, with 48 per cent taking place in the months of June, July and

Guest Column

August.* How many of them leave the new couples feeling wedding bill blue we don’t know. But, if you’re heading toward marriage, here are some good tips to help throw a debt-free wedding.

A special wedding is one you can afford. That gourmet, five-course meal for 300 guests sounds great but a wedding is a single day, so look at it in the context of your long-term financial life. Plan a terrific wedding but within a reasonable budget.

Practice zero-tolerance for plastic.

Don’t use plastic to pay for your wedding.

One example: Use your credit card for $25,000 in wedding expenses, at 14 per cent interest and only make the minimum payment each month and you’ll make your final payment on your 100th anniversary. So put your credit cards away and pay for your wedding with money you’ve saved.

Practice prudence. Be strong and stick to your wedding budget, and use the

opportunity to set other financial goals.

Here’s a simple budget template to get you going: How much debt is each of us bringing to our marriage?

How much money have we saved so far?

What is our combined monthly income (salary and other income)?

What are our monthly costs?

How much can we afford to put into our wedding fund each month?

How much can we afford to save/ invest to achieve our other ‘dreams’?

For a debt-free wedding and a successful financial life together, talk to your professional advisor. *Statistics Canada, Vital Statistics, Marriage Database, 2008, Survey 3232 Andy Erickson is the division director with Investors Group, Vernon.

Beef Cattle Research Council begins mentorship Morning Star Staff

The Beef Cattle Research Council launched the beef researcher mentorship program, a new initiative that will facilitate greater engagement of upcoming and new applied researchers with Canada’s beef industry.

Currently in the pilot phase, the beef researcher mentorship program intends to provide researchers with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the needs of the beef industry in a practical and meaningful way.

“When scientists have a better under-

standing our of industry’s needs, and are motivated to produce applicable, solutionbased research results and see them through to adoption, that’s extremely valuable to our industry”, said Tim Oleksyn, chairperson.

“This is an excellent experience for researchers with little background in Canadian beef production or opportunity to connect with industry stakeholders in order to increase their knowledge of the industry.”

The BCRC’s new beef researcher mentorship Program will: n align research

interests with those that are practical and beneficial to Canada’s beef industry, n build the skills, network and confidence necessary to participate in or lead applied research and technology transfer efforts that enhance and accelerate innovation in Canada’s beef industry, and n facilitate collaborations that help new Canadian beef researchers establish effective applied research and extension programs.

The program will match the participants with cattle producers and other industry professionals for a one-year

mentorship, and provide opportunities to expand their networks and attend insightful meetings and events.

T

hese last of summer days are truly delicious with a fresh breeze blowing and the sun still hot but not oppressive and flowers looking a little tired but still giving their colour and beauty to those who care for them.

The flowers are a lot like seniors who may be past their prime, but still offer their interior beauty and wisdom to those who care to look.

Yesterday I had lunch with two beautiful women Pat Black who personify interior beauty and resilience to me. I haven’t used their real names out of respect for their privacy.

Jay, the younger of the two, is raising her two grandchildren, left to her as babies when her daughter died, by herself with little financial support. They are teenagers now with all that implies and she still struggles to support them and herself with any job she can find.

She still desires to return to college and establish a career. Jay is a strong, purposeful lady with a heart of gold that just keeps on giving.

Etta, my other luncheon companion, is in her seventies and is a very spiritual soul who has the gift of insight. Her spirit shines brightly from her countenance and sparkling eyes and she gives

personal best

of her self and her treasures unreservedly to others to make them happy.

Both women are witty and happy people who make any time spent with them a joy.

We all need to appreciate the flowers around us, perhaps a little past their prime, fading but still beautiful, and adding to our richness of life. Heroes are all about us.

The other night Global News gave out the following information: It costs $1,000 a day to keep a senior in hospital.

It costs $135 per day to keep a senior in a care home. And it costs $50 per day to keep a senior in his/her own home with home support. Almost every study, and there have been hundreds done, indicates that seniors would rather stay in their own homes as long as they can.

Given the costs of hospital and in-care housing, doesn’t it make sense to increase our home support budget and decrease institutional costs? While Interior Health has revamped its home support services and offers more diverse help than it once did, our government needs to make a stronger commitment to help keep seniors in their homes. This is a good question for all the candidates in the next election.

This brings me to a comment and query that came to me by e-mail that shows how misguided some of our institutions can be.

A fellow senior and community volunteer asked that I look at nutrition

in senior care facilities, especially why fresh fruit is seldom served at some institutions. Recently he visited a friend who lives in a care home and brought some much appreciated cherries, and was astounded to learn that fresh fruit is hardly ever served there.

Others who visit friends in different facilities reported the same thing and my reader wondered if this widespread in the Okanagan? He commented, and I concur, that this seems unbelievable as we live in an area were fresh fruit is abundant, reasonably priced and a healthy choice.

This may be a job for the Food Action Society of the North Okanagan, whose mandate is to promote change around food in this area. I hope they can take this on. It would be a great way to work with Interior Health to promote healthier foods in institutions.

Shingles is a very painful disease and causes so much misery for so many.

An estimated one in three people will experience shingles in their lifetime, with the risk of developing shingles increasing for those 50 years of age and older, or for those with weakened immune systems. For those over 60, a vaccine is available. Consult your family doctor if you are interested in getting the vaccine.

If you have any questions or comments, call me at 250-542-7928 or e-mail blackmail1@telus.net.

service to make their yard WaterWise.

“I’ve been talking about upgrading our yard, looking to introduce WaterWise elements such as droughttolerant turf and low water variety plants into our garden,” said an excited Moorhouse.

“This prize will be perfect for that.”

The Make Water Work campaign began as a pilot in the North Okanagan in 2011, developed in partnership with local governments throughout the valley.

Since then it has grown to become a valley-wide call for action, aimed at reducing the second largest use of all water in the Okanagan our residential outdoor landscapes. In all, 24 per cent of Okanagan water is used in our yards, mostly on lawns.

New this year, mayors and city councillors from around the region challenged each other and their communities to take the pledge for a chance to win the champion title, and of course save water.

There was great

participation from Okanagan communities including Kelowna, Penticton and West Kelowna, but looking at the number of people who took the pledge on a per capita basis, Oliver came in first, followed by Osoyoos, Summerland, Armstrong, and Penticton.

Looking at this year’s results, Corinne Jackson, OBWB communications director and in charge of the Okanagan WaterWise program, says she’s very pleased.

“Make Water Work is an effort by local governments and water utilities throughout the valley to call attention to water issues in the Okanagan, showing that small changes in our behaviours can have huge impacts,” she said.

“Each year we have seen the campaign grow with greater participation from elected officials, residents, and the business community. In 2012 we had 237 people take the pledge. This year, we are at 963 and counting.”

Event assists appeal Morning Star Staff

In light of an emergency appeal in Palestine, a Vernon couple decided to do a fundraiser and presentation in order to raise awareness about the issue in the community.

Sana Mohammed and her husband, Muhammad William Creelman, have helped raise more than $3,000.

“In seeing this crisis, we knew that we had to do something to send humanitarian aid,” said Sana. On Aug. 7, the couple hosted a presentation called Misconceptions about Islam to raise funds.

“The support we had from the community of Vernon was phenomenal, as we raised more than $2,000 that night alone, and only a few days later w reached a grand total of $3,062.30,” said Sana, who sent the money via Islamic Relief Canada.

“We wanted to thank the community of Vernon for giving us so much support, as it surpassed our expectations and completely melted our hearts.”

“When we do get into presentations there are a lot of advantages, but there are disadvantages. From an enforcement point of view, we can’t capture everything that we would with fullscale inspection.”

When presented to rural directors three years ago, the concept was to explore a new approach to building approvals with a service that achieves greater compliance with local

standards and community goals, while considering concerns related to the introduction of new development fees and regulations.

“The proposed service does not introduce the full range of building permit and inspection regulation,” reads the report summary.

“When compared to comprehensive building permit and inspection services offered by local governments elsewhere in the province, the proposed service includes fewer activities subject to permit requirements, fewer application requirements and fewer inspections.”

Development services manager Gerald Christie noted CSRD could support expanding building inspection.

“It would require some additional support from development services staff, but could accommodate coverage,” he said. “The only caveat would be an increase in the travel budget for meals and gas.”

A zoning bylaw under construction now will be in place by 2015, and directors agreed an education program will have to be rolled out in electoral areas.

Hamilton was pleased directors did not oppose the notion of building permits contained in the report as has been the case with some electoral area directors in the past.

“I am wearing you directors down, and am quite excited about that,” he laughed.

Director Rhona Martin reminded directors how much money has been laid out over the years for people who have built in the wrong place.

“But you hear from people that they have to wait too long for building inspectors,” she said.

“They’re booked up, on vacation, on and on and on. It’s frustrating.”

Director Paul Demenok agreed it would be appropriate to delay detailed discussion on the report until after the election.

CSRD adopts policy tracy hughes Black Press

Thirty-three years after it was first legislated, directors of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District voted unanimously to approve a new policy governing their conduct surrounding personal expenses for staff and elected officials.

Finance manager Jodi Kooistra sought amendments on the policy that affects both staff and directors because there were no guidelines that set limits on meal expenditures, room upgrades or partner programs.

As well, there was a lack of consistency in how expense claims were processed.

Previous discussions regarding the new policy generated questions and comments regarding directors’ responsibility in choosing the cheapest mode of transportation, hotels and meals.

Kooistra reiterated the policy declares directors and staff are expected to “utilize the most cost-effective method of travel considering time, convenience and safety.”

Kooistra made clear that meal expenses for business outside of CSRD limits are on a strictly per diem basis.

Within CSRD limits, detailed receipts are required to prevent fraudulent use of the per diem.

Rural area directors initially balked at approving the policy, sending it back to the Electoral Area Directors (EAD) committee meeting for further discussion.

Following this, a few minor changes were made to the policy including setting a twotiered per diem rate for meals, as it was felt that costs were higher in the Greater Vancouver, Victoria and Whistler areas.

Supporting a neighbourhood institution

Cecil Wilson continues his daily walk to Hunter’s Store, 30 years and counting Cara Brady Morning Star Staff

Cecil Wilson knows a good thing when he sees it. He has been coming to Hunter’s Store for his morning coffee every day for more than 30 years and has no intention of letting anything stop him.

Recent construction on Pleasant Valley Road may have slowed down his walk a little, but he’s still at Hunter’s every morning.

“Those road work people are so good to me. They just walk me across so I can get my coffee, black with two sugars,” said Wilson, a retired logger and skidder driver.

“And I like to get my scratch tickets. I win $2 sometimes and sometimes I win $10. The people here at the store are so good.

I know all of them and

Hunter’s Store on Vernon’s Pleasant Valley Road in the 1960s. pretty well everyone who comes in. I like to say hello to them.”

Laurie Johnson, who has worked at Hunter’s for more than 35 years, said the family business has been in the same location since the 1950s.

Until recently, when the penny was phased out, the store had penny candy and it now has five-cent candy.

“I remember kids coming in and now their kids come in. Even some grandchildren. Cecil is our greeter and he has a smile and a cheerful word for everyone.

We like to see him when he comes in and we miss him

if he doesn’t come in if he is sick. We hope he continues to come in for a long time,” she said.

The store is a community meeting place and Wilson likes to see his friends there.

“We have coffee and play the Goldrush together and if he wins, he splits it with me and if I win, I split it with him,” said neighbour Phyllis Hanson.

Wilson takes another drink of coffee and smiles.

“We don’t do too bad on the tickets. This is a great store. It has everything. I want to keep coming here for a long time.”

Cecil Wilson doesn’t let a little road construction get in the way of his daily visit to Hunter’s Store.

See where your food comes from at Breakfast on the Farm Morning Star Staff

Any given meal eaten here in the Okanagan requires at least 10 or more farmers to produce it.

A typical pancake breakfast needs a wheat grower for the flour, a chicken farmer for the eggs, a canola farmer for the oil, and a dairy farmer for the milk. And that does not include the orchardist or syrup producer for the toppings or the pig farmer for the bacon.

Across the Okanagan, farmers are growing everything from grapes to wheat and raising everything from cattle to llamas. Several of these farmers are working together to put on the inaugural Breakfast on the Farm event to be held at Davison Orchards Sept. 13.

“We think food tastes better when

Meet local farmers and food producers at Davison Orchards’ Breakfast on the Farm Sept. 13 you know the story behind it,” said Tamra Davison of Davison Orchards. “The agri-

culture industry is an important part of the economy, but we are often behind the scenes. Everyone knows food comes from farms, but we want to make it personal.”

Some of the farmers working together to put on this event include the B.C. Grape Growers, the North Okanagan Dairy Association, the B.C. Cattlemen and the local 4H. The event will begin with a pancake breakfast, complete with eggs, sausages, and apple cider syrup. Cost is 5.95/adult and $4.95/child.

“The food will be fantastic, but the real key to this event is the process that leads up to the meal,” said Davison.

All farmers will be available with displays about how their featured food is produced.

The Davison family will also be also be

offering two kinds of interactive tours: U-Pick apple tours in the orchard, as well as a one day only complimentary farm business tour, which will offer an inside look at the production, operation, and administration of a farm.

“The U-pick tours will show the side of growing the fruit, and the business tour will show the next chapter of the story”, said Davison. “Whether you talk to the different farmers, join a tour, or just enjoy a meal that was served to you by the person who grew the ingredients, we welcome you to join us for this family-friendly event.”

Breakfast on the Farm will run from 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., Sept. 13 with tours happening all day. For more information about this event see www.davisonorchards.ca/events.

feelings are suffering tremendous emotional pain. Those who act upon those thoughts see it as the only option for ending their pain.

Although some individuals will show no signs, 80 per cent of those who end their life by suicide may show some or all of the following warning signs: •Suicide threats •Statements indicating a desire to die •Previous suicide attempts •Sudden changes in behaviour (withdrawal, apathy, moodiness, risk taking) •Depression (crying, sleeplessness, loss of appetite, hopelessness) • Final arrangements (such as giving away personal possessions) Two factors that substantially increase the risk of acting on thoughts of suicide are having a plan and the use of substances.

Suicide is everyone’s loss and there are resources and help available.

As individuals and as a community we can help prevent further deaths by suicide through continued conversation, compassion, understanding, awareness and professional intervention and assistance.

If you or someone you love is feeling suicidal, seek help.

“

Special to The Morning Star

Killing oneself is, anyway, a misnomer. We don’t kill ourselves. We are simply defeated by the long, hard struggle to stay alive. When somebody dies after a long illness, people are apt to say, with a note of approval, ‘He fought so hard.’ And they are inclined to think, about a suicide, that no fight was involved, that somebody simply gave up. This is quite wrong,” says Sally Brampton, an author and journalist out of the U.K. The recent and tragic death by suicide of the much loved and talented comic genius, Robin Williams, has left many of us feeling a profound sense of loss and sadness.

It is almost inconceivable that someone who brought so much joy and laughter to all of us throughout his life and who was so open and candid about his battle with depression and alcohol would continue to struggle and eventually lose this battle.

Many factors and circumstances can contribute to someone’s decision to end his/her life.

Factors such as loss, addictions, trauma, depression and serious physical illness can make some people feel overwhelmed and unable to cope. Those who experience suicidal thoughts and

Editor: Kristin FronEman ❘ PhonE: 250-550-7923 ❘ E-mail: entertainment@vernonmorningstar.com

Duo goes from the EX to the Bean to Cup Ash & Bloom combine their diverse personalities, classical background, and smooth-as-butter voices for an intimate show in Vernon Thursday Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

It’s a question they get asked a lot, but for singer-songwriting musicians Matt McKenna and James Bloemendal, aka Ash & Bloom, it never gets old. It’s elemental to where and who they are today.

So how did the two young musicians meet?

The answer takes them back to steel town, Hamilton, Ont. to be more specific, where McKenna, who grew up just south of the southern Ontario city, and Brampton native Bloemendal were both members of the baritone section in a choir, singing classical music.

They started performing in a number of bands, and seven years after meeting, decided to form as a duo, hence Ash & Bloom.

Another oft-asked question for the guys is where they came up with their name.

McKenna is happy to oblige.

Although it evokes some phoenix rising imagery, the name Ash and Bloom actually describes the two men’s unique and diverse personalities.

“Bloom is James, and Ash is me… What I love about it is that you can put your own interpretation to it,” said McKenna, while on a stopover in Salmon Arm. (Both men are familiar to these parts as they performed in the Okanagan on another tour last year.)

“We are also opposite personalities. Ash and Bloom represents each of us in a cool way. I also like the images themselves, and each of the words Ash and Bloom also feature letters in each of our names.”

Now on a rise, with a new LP of their original music (Let The Storm Come), Ash & Bloom are currently

Presented by

on a cross country tour that brings them to Vernon’s Bean to Cup coffee house Thursday for a show in support of the Vernon Women’s Transition House Society.

“We’ve come a long way from singing classical and choral music to more folky stuff,” said McKenna. “It was an aesthetic choice to do a duo, but the reality of touring and being on the road, it was more feasible to go on the road with just two of us than a full band.”

They make up for lack of band members by rounding out their sound with percussion. McKenna plays a kick drum while Bloemendal plays tambourine.

“We’re more than just two guys with guitars,” said McKenna.

That blend of voice, instrument, and persona has worked well for the duo on their debut album, which has been receiving good reviews since it was released in June.

Let the Storm Come did not come quickly.

After their previous bands had hit the end of their cycle, McKenna and Bloemendal decided to go into hiding and share something new with the world.

“We were radio silent for three years and wrote about 400 songs,” said McKenna. “With the first 50 songs, we felt they were precious and needed to be preserved, but after we whittled them down, we had to become ruthless. James and I had two producers with us to choose the final list. Each person in the group had to agree on the song. It had to have that magic.”

McKenna is referring to Marc Rogers, who has worked with Nelly Furtado, The Philosopher Kings, and Sarah Harmer, and Karen Kosowski, who produced the 12 original songs,

rising musical duo ash & Bloom (James Bloemendal, left, and matt mcKenna) play Vernon’s Bean to Cup coffee house thursday in a fundraiser for Vernon Women’s transition House society. including co-writes with a collection of Canada’s finest songwriters – Peter Katz, Caroline Brooks (Good Lovelies), Julie Crochietere and Rob Szabo.

“As a younger musician, it’s thought that you shouldn’t let other people pollute the process, but these are people we admire. The process was that the music doesn’t have to be just for yourself… We want the music to also be accessible to our listeners,” said McKenna.

“Now that we have it behind us, it is so nice. It’s difficult to know when you’re choosing the songs that it’s always the right thing to do, but to have it pay off is nice.”

In full touring mode since the end of May, Ash & Bloom have played

just about every kind of venue, from festivals and churches, to wine bars and cafés across Canada and they are getting ready for a fall tour in Australia. They also just performed one their biggest houses to date at the Canadian National Exhibition (known to Torontonians as the EX), opening for Christopher Cross, of Sailing fame.

“We flew in from our tour in Saskatchewan to do the show,” said McKenna. “Christopher Cross is so effortless when he sings. Personally, for someone who puts in a lot of effort when I’m at the top of my voice, to see him do it so effortlessly was incredible to witness.”

Going from the EX to a little coffee house is not a let down, but a way

for Ash & Bloom to connect with their audience.

“We end up playing a different kind of show each time going from little coffee houses to arenas. Each of us played coffee houses and open mics growing up. We love the intimate environment of 40 people in a room, being able to hear our voices as they are,” said McKenna. “There are so many elements we love about our intimate shows. We get the audience to sing along with us. Just us and 40 people, it’s special.”

Ash & Bloom are at the Bean to Cup, 3903 27th St., Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15, with proceeds going to Vernon Women’s Transitions House Society. Call 250-542-1122 for tickets or get them at the door.

people who get excited about their hair not being shiny enough. I wanted to take every character in this film to Africa and leave them there, preferably at an Ebola clinic.

HOWE: For the second time this week I’m going to disagree with you. I don’t think Moretz has potential at all. She’s had a few kicks at the can now and the results come back the same, flat. I can’t see that changing in the near future.

She also reminds me of Dakota Fanning and what was the last movie we saw her in?

This had a hard act to follow in the shape of The Fault in our Stars, an excellent film we reviewed a couple of months back. Where that ripped my heart out and stomped all over it, this just seemed to plod along trying, unsuccessfully to pull at the heartstrings.

Yet saying all that, there was a lot of sobbing going on in the audience when we were there, but not from me this time.

Bursary is put to voice Morning Star Staff

The Elizabeth Scott Vocal Choral Bursary is once again being awarded to a young voice student from the area.

This year’s winner is Cormac Eby, a baritone who is studying at Bishop’s University in Sherbrooke, Que. “I’ve been told that the only university students who put in more hours that those in medicine are the voice students. They have many classes in languages, history and theory as well as voice,” said bursary committee member Catherine Dawson. “Also they must spend many hours of practice with and without an accompanist and in Cormac’s case also manage to find enough hours in the day to have a part-time job.

Both of his letters of reference comment on his excellent work ethic and time management skills.”

As has been the case with several previous winners, Eby comes from a musical family. His parents both play and he and his siblings all sang in Elizabeth Scott’s youth choirs, took private lessons in voice and on different instruments.

Eby plays the violin and after taking a sabbatical from playing, has started performing again.

One of his fondest memories is of traveling with the Young Scott Singers to Ottawa, where 40 of them had been invited to sing at the Canada Day celebrations. He was in elementary school at the time.

Young men’s voices are said to mature more slowly than young women’s, so Eby has spent some of the years since

high school learning other skills. He took a course in cabinet making on Vancouver Island, singing in a choir while there.

At least one Vernon family has a wall of shelves and cupboards and drawers that Eby

created before he headed east to study at Bishop’s.

While in Vernon, he also sang in the Counterpoint choir and determined that vocal music, either as a teacher or performer, was the future he could see for himself.

Live Well

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist CHRIS SHIDELER

Keeping our salt consumption to a reasonable level is a sensible thing to do. Many people turn to salt substitutes to help make their food more tasty.

However these products contain potassium instead of sodium and too much potassium can be a bad thing too. Let your doctor know you are using them so he can watch your potassium as well.

In 1964, the U.S. Surgeon General published a report describing the health risk Americans were assuming when they smoked. Back then, over 40% of the population smoked (similar to Canadian statistics). Since that time, the number of smokers has dropped to less than 20% but still costs U.S. society about $280 billion per yer in healthcare costs and loss of productivity. Sobering thought.

In was in 1899 that the drug, ASA, (Aspirin®) was used to treat arthritis.

We are aware of the dangers of drinking and driving, We should also be aware of the dangers of taking some drugs and driving. Drug classes like narcotics, antidepressants, blood pressure medications and some antihistamines, can cause sedation especially if you are just starting on the drug. If you don’t feel comfortable driving, get someone to do it for you.

When we fill your prescription, we will bring to your attention any side effects that might affect your ability to drive and put an extra label on the prescription bottle to remind you. This doesn’t mean that you will have that side effect but being aware of its possibility is good to know.

Baseball Idols are immortalized in Central Park’s collection of dynamic statues in La Romana, Dominican Republic.

rick millikan photo

Caribbean culture vibrant rick millikan Special To The Morning Star

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC - “Welcome to the Dominican Republic and La Romana! The mill opposite your cruise ship inspired our city’s name. We first exported sugar to Rome or Roma…so our city became La Romana,” grins tour bus guide Miguel.

“See those pleasant homes? Romana Company provides these to many of its 18,000 workers. This mill and cattle ranches once supported our city. La Romana has now blossomed into a resort area. And many, like you, go to explore our Cave of Wonders.”

Beyond the bustling city, emerald green trees, brush and fields of grass cover a rolling countryside.

Within half-an-hour we stand in the interpretation centre of Cueva de las Marvillas — Cave of Wonders. A huge wall mural depicts its early Taino settlement. Native gardeners tend manioc, (starchy edible roots) and nicotina, (leafy tobacco plants).

We see that while others dance and cook, their religious leader, the shaman sits cross-legged smoking.

Nearly a thousand years ago, we learn such Taino shamans used this cave for religious rites, most often for funerals.

The path descends downward to a small, inconspicuous cave entrance.

Miguel says, “A group of Boy Scouts discovered this cave in 1926. They were amazed! You will soon be too!”

Inside, indirect lighting enhances soaring stalactites and plunging stalagmites.

Everyone gasps at its unexpectedly airy immensity and dream-like beauty.

“Over thousands of years, rain water seeped slowly downward, creating acids carving out this 800-metre-long limestone cave,” our guide says, adding, “Look closely at its formations.”

She points out rock shapes resembling a grey bear, white lion and giant ochre

The bandstand in Central Park proves very interesting.

hummingbird, among other animals. It’s easy to visualize those early natives sitting around campfires that bathed the walls in otherworldly shadows.

Hearing faint high-pitched squeaks and whisper of fluttering wings, we see small bats from dimly lit areas near us.

Several land upside down above, clinging with others in one of the many small cavities dotting the ceiling.

The last section of the publicly accessible 200-meters encloses more than 500 Taino petroglyphs. Using animal blood and charcoal, Tainos likely used their artwork to converse with the underworld spirits.

These explain aspects of their culture, including their belief in reincarnation.

Two stick figures represent the deaths of a chieftain and his favorite wife. They’re shown decapitated with wispy spirits released to flow into new bodies.

Emerging from the 25-metre depths by an elevator, we proceed to the iguana

sanctuary.

Once considered chicken of the trees and hunted near extinction, the iguana is now protected. Here, the Dominican Republic’s distinctive rhinoceros iguanas bask safely in sunshine. These rustybrown, gray-green adults weigh from five to nine kilograms.

On our return, dark clouds cover the blue skies and pour new life into the already lush countryside. These torrential rains change La Romana’s city streets into rivers.

As the tropical rains subside, our bus stops at Central Park’s open-air market.

Browsing among stalls of ceramics, local crafts, hand-rolled cigars, woodcarvings, and vibrant paintings of Caribbean life, one vendor offers thimble fulls of local mamajuana, considered a local remedy for numerous ailments. This rum-herbal concoction proves tasty and potent.

One Dominican pleads grinning.

“Look at my stuff amigo! Like that landscape? It’s a bargain: $150!” I show zero interest. He persists, “OK, $80 for you...”

A bandstand quartet plays lively merengues using a traditional button accordion, guiro, metal scrapper, tambora (small flat drum) and cajon (wooden box). Dressed in red, white and blue, dancers blithely step and whirl.

Life-size statues of baseball idols line park sidewalks. Some are posed pitching and batting, others are catching and sliding into base. Many represent gifted Dominicans like Filipe Alou, Sammy Sosa and Juan Marichal.

Several had played for La Romana’s Bulls in a baseball stadium passed earlier.

Aboard our Carnival Freedom ship, we sip tea and chat about those honoured baseball players.

Were these famed Dominican athletes merely mill workers’ sons? Could they be reincarnated Taino warriors?

To mitigate the uncertainty of a prolonged labour dispute and school closures, many French immersion and core French parents are searching for opportunities to connect their children to extra-curricular activities, day camps, media, and resources en français.

To help connect these families to emerging activities and resources Canadian Parents for French B.C. and Yukon has launched a resource for families.

The goal is to help bring together opportunities for youth to engage with the French language and culture during potential school closures.

“Ten weeks is a long time for students to be away from a classroom,”

said Glyn Lewis, executive director of Canadian Parents for French B.C. and Yukon.

For the 2014 BC Strike Resource For Students In French Programs, visit http://bc-yk.cpf.ca/resources/ for-parents/2014-strike-resource-forstudents-in-french-programs/ “We are encouraging parents to share this resource and tool with anyone who may be affected.”

Canadian Parents for French is a national non-partisan registered charity dedicated to promoting and creating quality French second language opportunities for all youth.

CPF B.C. and Yukon is the largest Branch in Canada; supported by more than 7,000 active members and 360 parent volunteers.
