Enderby race heating up RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe, with the support of her husband David O’Keefe, announces she will be running for Vernon mayor during her press conference at Davison Orchards Friday.
O’Keefe wants mayor’s job RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Mary-Jo O’Keefe insists she’s ready for Vernon’s top job. O’Keefe, who is in her second term as city councillor, announced Friday that she will let her name stand for mayor in the Nov. 15 election. “It’s a natural progression,” she said, adding that she was also a school trustee for 15 years. “I have the experience, knowledge of government and vision to lead this community in a positive and meaningful way.” O’Keefe, 61, insists her running is not a criticism of her council colleagues, but she admits she hasn’t been pleased with the overall direction of the city. “There are many things council has done that are fantastic but there are lots of areas where we lost sight of the ball,” she said. “We concentrated on the new parks agreements but while that was occurring, lots came up (for sale) on the lakeshore
and we lost those lots and won’t have access to them.” Raised in the Vernon area and married to former councillor David O’Keefe, Mary-Jo O’Keefe has a masters in business administration and was managing director of Community Futures. She also ran Vernon’s tourism office and currently operates two businesses, MJO Communications and MJO Tours. “I would like to see Vernon become a city that is not only sustainable but a city that is revitalized and vibrant,” she said. “A community that can facilitate achieving the goals and dreams of all of our citizens in an efficient and productive manner. I believe we need leadership that understands the value of the tax dollar and really can ensure we receive the fullest benefit for that tax dollar.” A priority will be the economy. “We need jobs not just for our children, but our children’s children,” she said, adding that targeted, achievable goals for economic development are required.
“We need to help our citizens achieve their full potential. We need to make it easier to thrive and do business here.” Among the focuses, according to O’Keefe, are sports and cultural activities. “Finally, I believe the downtown does act as the heart of our community and we need to support and enhance its development growth,” she said. For the city to proceed on major issues, O’Keefe says there is a need to maintain strong relationships with adjacent jurisdictions. “This council has made huge strides to work together with our neighbours. I intend to continue with that and make sure the whole region works together,” she said. The other declared candidates for Vernon mayor are economist Victor Cumming and former city councillor Klaus Tribes. “We have a very strong slate (mayoralty candidates) and it will be good for Vernon to hear what the issues are,” said O’Keefe.

Howie Cyr’s challenger for Enderby city hall has come from within city hall itself. Greg McCune, a longtime city councillor, has decided to run against Cyr for mayor Nov. 15. “I’m a little more accessible and more of a cheerleader and that’s what the community needs,” said McCune, 52, who has served five terms. “It’s a job where you need to be involved with everyone, whether it’s Interior Health with the doctors, or with the regional district on various issues. You need to be on top of things at all times.” Cyr, who is a former counHowie Cyr cillor and completing his first term as mayor, welcomes McCune’s entry into the race. “That’s democracy in action. It gives the community a choice,” he said. “I believe I have done a good job as mayor and I like the opportunity to help effect change in the community. Greg McCune That’s what has happened with our team.” The 63-year-old Cyr, who is a retired RCMP officer, says he is proud of the open relationship that he has established with council and city staff. “I had a goal to instill a team approach at city hall. Everyone owns what’s going on in the community,” he said. Among the issues of concern for Cyr are upgrading infrastructure and pressuring the Ministry of Transportation to improve highway access. “We continue to need to work on economic development,” he said. “We need to find ways to attract business to town.” The owner of Sutherland’s Bakery, McCune insists the city must focus on making tourists and prospective businesses more aware of the opportunities that exist for them. “We need to let people know Enderby is an amazing place,” he said. When asked about priorities, McCune says there is a need for city councillors to be utilized more and keeping in contact with residents. “People ask why our taxes are so high,” he said. “It comes down to communications but it also comes down to watching our tax dollars and stretching them as far as we can. People need to understand where their money is going.”

Community comes through for kids Jennifer Smith
AdditionAl Child CAre options
Morning Star Staff
Many parents scrambling to find care for their children during the ongoing teachers strike have surprisingly found an array of options. From extended day programs and ongoing summer camps to reading sessions and even teachers offering tutoring services, the community has stepped up to ensure its kids are safely being looked after. “The beauty about the Vernon community is there are lots of groups willing to help out,” said Kirstie Blanleil, Okanagan Boys and Girls Club centre director in Vernon. Throughout the valley, the Boys and Girls Club has extended programs to meet the needs of parents. Aside from last-minute cancellations, day programs in Vernon are full, with 60 youth, while there are another 20 spots in the recreation programs, which are on a firstcome-first-serve basis. “As long as the strike goes on we’ll be offering low-cost programming for parents who need it,” said Blanleil. The situation is similar over at Maven Lane, which has the capacity to care for an even greater number of children but is also almost entirely full. “With schools not in session we currently have 102 school-aged children registered for care,” said Hollie Henderson, executive director. “Due to the uncertainty of the strike, we have had to be pro-active in preparing for these children to attend.” As the strike continues, the phones at the local Child Care Resource and Referral have been ringing more and more. “I think a lot of people were just waiting to see what would happen,” said Jesie Harms, program co-ordinator. “I think a lot of people really didn’t expect this. “More than anything, they’re frustrated.” Many parents are losing patience over the situation due to the uncertainty of when, or if, school will start, the extra daycare costs and burdens on grandparents. “It’s been a long summer,” said

Tina Ward reads with her kids Emma and Declan at the Junction Literacy Centre. The kids should be in school at Hillview, but haven’t been able to attend due to the strike, therefore the centre is offering reading support sessions this week. Blanleil. “I think these kids are ready to go back to school.” The other factor is that some kids, especially those with learning difficulties, are falling behind since losing time at the end of the school year last year, having no summer school and the time lost now. Some parents have lost faith in the public education system and have enrolled their children in private school. The B.C. Online School, run out of Kelowna by Heritage Christian Schools, has been swamped with three times the normal number applications for distributed learning from students across the province as
a result of the strike. “We are overloaded with kids coming to us, particularly those in Grade 12 who want to get a particular course and get their requirements for university,” superintendent Greg Bitgood told Black Press. The online school, which is half funded by the province, instructed 3,400 students in its summer school – three times the normal number – and turned away another 6,000. Demand has surged again now that the strike has spilled into September and pushed back the scheduled start of classes. Meanwhile others are trying to fill the learning gap.
“The Junction Literacy Centre recognized that there is a general concern from all sides that the delay in a regular classroom schedule may disrupt student learning,” said Wendy Aasen, executive director. With concerned parents calling, the Junction Literacy Centre is offering a series of reading support programs for students in grades one to seven. “Since reading support programs are a service that the Junction Literacy Centre already provides, we decided to help address this need.” Certified teachers do small group reading sessions that are tailored to the student’s current reading level, using the same methods used in the school system. Sessions begin Monday. The Vernon Recreation Complex, Okanagan Science Centre and Allan Brooks Nature Centre have also stepped up to get kids active and engaged. “We understand that this year’s ongoing strike is frustrating for both teachers and parents,” states the Allan Brooks Nature Centre, which has extended educational programs. All in all, it is the staff at each facility that have stepped up to make caring for kids a priority this fall,
despite not knowing if the work will last a few days or weeks. “We have 50 educators employed at Maven Lane, and have had to draw on most of them to ensure the best possible service,” said Henderson. “We are grateful to be in a position to help the support the families of this community.” Blanleil adds: “We have an amazing team who have agreed to work extended hours.” Parents can also now register for the $40/day support payments at bcparentinfo.ca (which also includes online learning resources for kids). - with files from Jeff Nagel, Black Press

On Thursday, Foisy and the Cherry Ridge Management Committee, which operates a community forest, held a community meeting about BCTS issuing a road contract. About 60 people attended the session. “They have all promised to phone BCTS and demand a downstream assessment study,” said Foisy. The Cherr y Ridge Management Committee, which operates a community forest, wants to see the area identified by BCTS to be selectively logged instead of clearcut. Foisy and CRMC have been in regular contact with MLA Eric Foster over the matter. “I have had discussions at the Ministry of Forests level and I am still having discussions. I am trying to get a resolution on this,” said Foster, who has a forestry background. “CRMC was formed for watershed management and have done a great job, and people like Eugene Foisy have walked through that area for 50-plus years,” he said. “They know that ground better than anybody.

New inductees for hall Morning Star Staff The Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame will induct four new members in November. Three-time Olympic swimmer Rick Say, of Salmon Arm, and Vernon hockey legend Odie Lowe will join the shrine in the athletes category at a luncheon Nov. 7 at the Schubert Centre in Vernon. Basketball guru Mel Briggeman will enter the builders section posthumously, while the two-time B.C. Junior Hockey League chamOdie Lowe pion Vernon Essos will grace the hall of fame in the teams listing. “The committee is honoured to select such a worthy group of people,” said Hall of Fame director Roger Knox. “We are deeply saddened that Mel will not be with Rick Say us, but we know he would have been overjoyed with his induction.” Say was born May 18, 1979 in Salmon Arm, where he swam as a child for the Salmon Arm Sockeye Swim Club with his two brothers and two sisters. At the age of 18, he began attending the University of Victoria and started to swim Mel Briggeman seriously. Lowe, 86, turned pro with the New York Rovers of the Quebec Senior Hockey League in 1948-49. The next season he had a fourgame callup with the New York Rangers, scoring a
goal and an assist. Lowe helped the Rovers win the Eastern Hockey League title in 1949-50. In 1952 Lowe shifted to senior hockey and played the 1952-53 season with the Nelson Maple Leafs of the WIHL. After playing two seasons for the Winnipeg Maroons, Lowe returned to the WIHL and played for the Vernon Canadians until he retired in 1962. Lowe won the Allan Cup with Vernon in 1955-56 and was coach of the Essos for both their BCJHL titles in 1970 and 1972. The Essos were led by Ernie Gare Jr., John Price and Wayne Dye. They stopped the Victoria Cougars in a six-game series in 1970 and dispatched the Penticton Broncos in seven games, in ‘72. Briggeman died Tuesday of congestive heart failure at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. He was 79. He was the executive director of the Funtastic mixed slo-pitch tournament, elected to the Funtastic Hall of Fame in 2008. Briggeman worked closely with disabled athletes and was also a volunteer with Vernon Special Olympics, working alongside close friend John Topping, founder of Funtastic. Briggeman also served on the board of the North Okanagan Athlete and Team of the Year awards committee. He was honoured by that committee in 2012, when he was given a Leadership in Sports award. Briggeman was also recognized with the Brent Gilchrist Community Service Award in 1998, and was given the Queen’s Jubilee Medal for community service in 2003. Briggeman worked all levels of basketball for decades, served on the board of B.C. basketball officials and handed out assignments to local referees. Tickets for the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame luncheon will go on sale soon.

“ I n c r e a s i n g l y, the City of Vernon is receiving applications for boundary extension from property owners with failing septic systems that are immediately adjacent to the city’s sewer infrastructure,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky, in a letter. “The current process to deal with these applications is lengthy, consumes significant staff resources, can be frustrating to the property owners and tends to undermine the relationship between our respective jurisdictions.” Sawatzky says the city’s plan would provide affected property owners a one-time
chance to join the city. “This would bring one-off boundary applications to an end, be far more efficient for our staff and the ministry to deal with and will stop the current practice which simply continues to be a burden to our normally positive working relationships,” he said. Fleming says there will be discussions between the regional district and the city about annexations, but he challenges Sawatzky’s suggestion that annexation applications are largely a result of failed septic systems. “Most of them are development driven,” said Fleming.

Inside the Splatsin arbor in Enderby, located just off Highway 97A, four Splatsin First Nation members perform a prayer circle. They surround a fire, kneeling on blankets. They are joined by Splatsin chief Wayne Christian Thursday, day three of the prayer circle which is being held to honour and remember the murdered or missing aboriginal women and men in Canada. “People offer prayers to family and people who need support, we sing songs,” said Christian prior to joining the circle. “It’s just a process of spiritual help to get closure to what’s going on.” The RCMP released a report in the spring highlighting 1,181 cases involving aboriginal women since 1980. Their findings showed aboriginal women made up 4.3 per cent of the Canadian population, but accounted for 16 per cent of female homicides, and 11.3 per cent of missing women. For Christian and the Splatsin band, the number hits close to home. One staff member’s sister was a murder victim in a case in north central B.C. where the alleged killer is being tried in Prince George. “How do we bring to the public mind this issue?” asked Christian. “There are literally thousands of not only women but men who have gone missing over the years, but there has been no formal response to that. People keep putting it aside.
roger knox/morning star
Splatsin First Nation Chief Wayne Christian believes a truth and reconciliation process would be better than a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women and men. Here in this community we support our staff member whose sister was a victim of this.” As Christian said, it’s not just aboriginal women who vanish without a trace or who are murdered, but men as well. He points to a band member who died under mysterious circumstances. On Nov. 9, 2012, police and ambulance were dispatched to a report on the side of Highway 97A and Grandview Bench Road. The victim was identified as John Thomas,
59. Police said Thomas’ injuries were consistent with him being struck by a larger vehicle, but nobody ever came forward to say they were driving the vehicle that struck Thomas. Police asked for any new leads on the case exactly one year after Thomas’ death. Was he struck by a vehicle? Or was foul play involved? “There are no answers and it’s been more than two years,” said Christian. “There’s been no closure on that, and there are many files like that.”
There has been no closure for Thomas’ family, or the Splatsin band, in connection with the case. It’s different for the staff member. They lost a sister but her body was found and the man accused of killing her is on trial. “Closure for the families, that’s first and foremost,” said Christian. “That’s the most difficult part, when you lose a loved one to those kind of circumstances.” Premiers have been calling for a roundtable on the missing and murdered aboriginal women, and there have also been calls nationally for an inquiry. Christian said such an inquiry would be a good start, but thinks a truth and reconciliation process would be better. “We need to open up a public process so people can say what they need to say in a public way,” he said. “Families of victims have no voice in this process. They need to be heard, know they’re being heard and the public needs to hear about the pain and suffering they’re going through. “A truth and reconciliation process would be much more beneficial to families and the public at large.”

As the ball bounces
find this a difficult time of year for armchair sports fans, gee there’s a cause that needs a telethon, eh? Well, it’s not that I’m looking for sympathy or anything but I think it’s worth nothing that there’s a bit of famine before the feast that is October in the wide world of sports entertainment. Yes, the World Series and the beginning of the NHL season looms on the horizon but right now we’re stuck with something resembling playoffs in professional golf and a Blue Jays run for the playoffs that looks too much like a walk or downright stumble. First, golf. They invented this playoff thing a couple years back Glenn Mitchell to stave off the lack of interest after the last major. Hey, let’s throw a ton of money at the players, have elimination tournaments and hype the hell out of it and see what happens. Sorry PGA, don’t care. See you at Augusta in April. Pro tennis has rebounded nicely this year, maybe at the expense of golf, and especially in these parts with the double whammy of Canucks Eugenie Bouchard and Milos Raonic on the precipice of greatness. However, they both got body slammed out of the U.S. Open which was too bad and may even be the reason for this exercise in the first place. It would have been so nice to watch either one, or both, in the finals this week in New York. Heavy sigh. However, the promise for next year, including Vernon’s own Vasek Pospisil, remains intact. And I understand the Jays just swept the Rays so there’s a glimmer of hope in baseball, especially seeing their propensity of going on tears, both losing and winning, but it’s likely too little too late. So go Mariners, go, although I can only name one or two guys on the roster at this point. And speaking of Seattle, the NFL is back as of
MitChEll’S MuSingS
Thursday night and it looks like the Hawks are in the hunt for another banner, literally, season. Now I like the NFL and take more than a passing interest in it but the hype gets to me after awhile and it doesn’t get that interesting for at least a month or so. Don’t tell my kids though, who for some reason are heavily into this fantasy draft thing and take a lot of interest in every game, not to mention every minute statistic along the way. However, I am in a CFL pool that is a lot of fun and as of this date I am currently the leader of, OK co-leader if the truth be known, but it still counts for No. 1 status in my book. Anyway it’s fun and takes a special talent and insight to try and decide who’s going to win between the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Montreal Alouettes, not to mention the Ottawa Redblacks. Luckily we don’t have to pick the score as well. Now the NHL and the Canucks and all we Canadians really care about in sport will hit the ice eventually and all will be right with the world once again. And of course this year even looks somewhat promising what with a new coach, a new all-star goaltender and Trevor Linden leading the charge. But Canucks fans know early-season promise can turn into mid-season disappointment, i.e. last year, but at this point hope springs eternal and the anticipation factor will soon be at its peak. Plus it could always be worse, one could be a Leafs fan, like one of my sons (the other one is a Habs fan and no I do not know how either phenomenon came to be, although it had something to do with Mats Sundin and P. K. Subban respectively). Although at this time of year any team can win the Stanley Cup. It’s when they actually hit the ice that reality sets in. Anyway this dry spell in professional sports will soon end and October bliss will be upon us. So turn off the TV and go enjoy what looks like spectacular weather for the foreseeable future. Instead of watching others play golf or tennis go play it while you still can.
It’s increasingly obvious that one branch of the provincial government is not interested in community input. B.C. Timber Sales is moving ahead with a contract for road construction on Cherry Ridge although residents of Cherryville have frequently expressed concerns that possible clearcut logging on a steep slope could lead to a landslide and threaten homes and community facilities in the valley bottom. “Hanson Park is right at the edge of the creek as is the school and community hall,” said director Eugene Foisy. Discussions have been held and requests have been made by the community, but BCTS continues to proceed with its plans. With the clock ticking before a road work contract is issued, the Regional District of North Okanagan is trying to step up the pressure. Regional politicians are demanding BCTS not issue a contract until there is a risk assessment done on Cherry Creek in Cherryville. It’s a more than reasonable request. Frustrated with the apparent rapid-fire pace of the BCTS process, Cherryville residents will hold a protest at Hanson Park today at 4 p.m. “It’s a safety issue for residents,” said Foisy. And Cherryville residents aren’t being alarmist as there have been previous slides on Cherry Ridge and four people were killed during a slide in the Kootenays in 2012. There needs to be a go-slow approach to determine if BCTS’ plans are valid or if logging should be done selectively as a way of protecting the slope and the environment. Ultimately, BCTS officials must remember, that as part of the government, they are answerable to the public.

Time for change at city hall
ur mayor's self-congratulatory gratification of his tenure is hardly conducive to the results achieved. Economic development? How can he even keep a straight face in the downtown after the void of the last four years as business after business has closed down. The policy of offering preferred property tax incentives for new building developments has devastated the downtown core. Look at the city website as business permits haven’t been published for several years, leaving a false and disturbing message of our actual growth. And we employ a full-time economic development officer and tourism officer, where, there now appears to be little in the way of parking for trucks and trailers at the new tourism location. Parks and inter-community affairs are hardly what’s holding Vernon together. His executive decision to hold
helping hand I was about halfway through my mid-day ride. I was churning up Black Rock Road (just on the eastern slope of Black Rock on the BX side), when I thought I’d stop for a breather and some water. I ride a recumbent trike (Terra Trike) and it is simply a matter of braking, holding and sitting there. Getting started on such an incline is easily done from first gear, but things got temperamental, and though I couldn’t see it at the time, my rear changer had gone over too far, caught a spoke, bent itself out of alignment and a shear pin holding the changers spring in tension had come off. Everything locked up. I thought I was hooped. All I could see was a chain that wouldn’t budge and the beads of sweat that were falling from my forehead on to my glasses. I was totally focused on my problem. Then it seems like out of nowhere this fellow, obviously someone who also bikes for exercise, is right there. He asked me if I had a problem. "Do I need a hand?" Four hands are better than two. I fish through my handy-dandy bike kit to retrieve my multi-tool, and he finds the problem. And after several attempts, gets the shear pin to hold the changer spring back where

it should be and voila. I’m mobile again, though I can only use 1st gear and my front drive sprockets. We ride together up the hill, talking all the way. We share a mutual friend and fellow trike rider. We rode past the reservoir, talking up a storm. He mentioned that he was on his way over to 48th Avenue. I had to coast over on to 12th Street, shouting “Thanks a lot." Before I thought to get his name and really thank him, he was off to his final destination. If he reads this, I’m sure he’ll recognize himself, and I want to really thank you for being one of the good guys. John Raikes math pRoblem Education Minister Fassbender, you have publicly stated that the B.C. Teachers Federation is asking for an eight per cent increase in salary and a 6.5 per cent increase in our benefits package. In this, you are correct. However, you then took out a full-page ad stating that we are asking for a combined 14.5 per cent. You and Christy Clark have both used this number as the reason why mediation will not work in contract negotiations between the BCTF and the government’s bargaining agent, the B.C. Public School Employers Association. Minister Fassbender, your math is wrong.
In fact, any student who has successfully completed math 8 will be able to tell you that you are wrong. Eight per cent of salary and 6.5 per cent of benefits cannot simply be added because they are percentages of different amounts. For example, a teacher who earns $80,000 in salary would also cost the province about $20,000 in benefits. Eight per cent of $80,000 equals $6,400 in salary increases over five years, while 6.5 per cent of $20,000 equals $1,300 in increased benefit costs over those same five years, for a total increase of $7,700. To calculate the total percentage increase, that $7,700 must be divided by the combined $100,000 of salary and benefits for a combined increase of only 7.7 per cent over five years — not 14.5 per cent as you have publicly stated many times. Perhaps this was just a math error, understandable in someone who took math 8 many years ago. But perhaps you are trying to manipulate the B.C. public into thinking that the BCTF is asking for an unreasonable increase. I am publicly asking you to correct your math error, much as I ask my students to correct their errors, and I am asking you and Christy Clark to stop interfering with the bargaining process. The two mediators who have so far refused to help in negotiations
plan priorities such as affordable housing or light industrial zoning has occurred. And hasn’t after several public OCP submissions. It’s been years since Vernon has changed its major OCP message without effectively implementing a single recommendation. How can the City Of Vernon remain a viable entity without a tax base and moderate growth philosophy? Certainly without the current councillors who seem unable to come to grips with the Agricultural Land Reserve and other zoning issues that hinder broadening the tax base. Our current mayor and council are hardly an example of good fiscal management. They are nothing more than a self-congratulatory lot who revel on issues such as idling vehicles or bike paths, a form of social engineering that drains and exacerbates the property taxpayer who actually support the community. alan d. Wilson
have done so because government has put unworkable restrictions on the bargaining process, not because the BCTF is asking for unaffordable gains. The correct math shows that the BCTF is asking for 7.7 per cent over five years, just over a 1.5 per cent increase per year and well within the zone of affordability. darin Johaneson a Response In response to the letter Standing up for education. This letter sadly depicts the subjective mindset which is formed through the manipulation techniques of progressive education. When education is focused on imparting knowledge and perfecting skills while fostering maturity and developing character, a much more objective mindset is developed – one that seeks the common good based on facts and a desire for justice, rather than on personal experiences, desires and demands. It is also sad, but not surprising, that this mindset is also reflected in a number of valedictorian addresses given at high school graduations in recent years. This observation and evaluation comes out of awareness gained from more than 50 years of dealing with the education of children. m. strangward

Parents urged to take action Morning Star Staff
With no end in sight to the ongoing labour dispute between B.C. teachers and the government, the Vernon School District is urging parents to take action. At its Tuesday board meeting, trustees approved a motion to send a letter home to parents asking them to express their concerns to B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker and Minister of Education Peter Fassbender. “We are urging the parents to become more directly and actively involved in order to get a settlement to the teachers’ strike,” said board chairman Bill Turanski. “Only two or three sentences would be required to get the attention of Mr. lker and Minister Fassbender to remind them of the parental concerns regarding the impact this strike is having on their child/children.” Turanski will work with District Parent Advisory Council president Sheri Minard to draft a letter to parents encouraging them to write a letter to both Fassbender and lker expressing their concerns and to request that the strike be settled through both parties showing good faith by re-examining their positions and getting students back to their classrooms. Parents are encouraged to write to Fassbender via e-mail to educ.minister@gov.bc.ca and to Iker at presidentsoffice@bctf.ca
CAO takes on additional role RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Efficiencies are being found within the Regional District of North Okanagan without adding staff. David Sewell, chief administrative officer, has also been named the corporate officer, instead of hiring someone new to replace the retiring Jeanne Byron. “This is consistent with our plans,” said Rick Fairbairn, board vice-chairperson. “This is all in an effort to look at the cost of the budget. We’re trying to save tax dollars.” Under provincial legislation, a corporate officer’s responsibilities include preparation of meeting minutes, access to records, administering oaths of office and certifying copies of bylaws and other documents. Sewell, who was named CAO in June, will not receive additional compensation for being corporate officer. “He has a contract as CAO and this is part of his plans moving forward,” said Fairbairn. Executive assistant Paddy Juniper has been named deputy corporate officer. A new chief financial officer, a position Sewell previously held, is being sought.

DISTRICT OF COLDSTREAM EMPLOYMENT AS AN ELECTION OFFICIAL
If you are interested in working as an Election Official at the general local election on Saturday, November 15, 2014, applications are now being accepted. Working hours are from 7:30 am until approximately 10:00 pm on that day. Remuneration has been set at $225.00. The application form is available on the District website at www. districtofcoldstream.ca or can be picked up at the Municipal Hall at 9901 Kalamalka Road. Applications must be received by the District by October 10, 2014. As a condition of employment, all Election Officials are required to attend a training session at 6:30 pm on Tuesday, November 4, 2014. The training session will be held at the Municipal Hall in the Council Chambers and is expected to last approximately 1 hour.
Hockey and politics may be completely different leagues, but a local player/referee/coach is hoping to move off the sidelines in his community and score a seat on council. Shane Hillman is putting his name forward for Coldstream councillor in the November election. Along with providing a fresh set of eyes to various issues, Hillman says his on-ice experience makes him a good fit for the job. “As a referee there’s two things you learn very quickly. One: You have to have thick skin. Two: You’re never going to be able to please everybody.” The 32-year-old is a stay-at-home dad to his five-year-old daughter, but with kindergarten about to start soon Hillman will have the time necessary to dedicate to the position. If elected, Hillman plans to look at every subject objectively, taking everyone into consideration. “I’m the type of person that’s going to look at an issue and I’m going to understand both sides of it. I’m not going to go into it with a pre-conceived notion.” He is eager to preserve Coldstream’s motto:
rural living at its best. Using the pellet plant as one example, Hillman says it looks as though it will proceed, but that doesn’t mean efforts have to stop for a healthy industry. “We need to find a way to make sure the health and environment in our community is our top priority.” Hillman is happy with the current council, but is hoping to add a different face to the mix. “I do think that after six years with the same council, it’s time for at least a new view or a fresh look at the issues.” Hillman was born and raised in Vancouver but spent many summers in the Okanagan and moved to Coldstream in 2006 with his wife.

marijuana production within the Agricultural Land Reserve and industrial zones. “We will achieve what the federal government has set out to do, which is to get these facilities out of residences,” said Rick Fairbairn, rural Lumby director. The original bylaw has been amended to remove all minimum parcel size requirements and outline setback requirements for the industrial zone. Bob Fleming, EAAC chairperson, says it was necessary to make some changes to the proposed bylaw after a public hearing. “We had a bunch of information presented from people and the provincial government has changed the property tax regulations,” he said. There was a concern that marijuana production on industrial land would be taxed under the cheaper agricultural rate, but the provincial government has stated that won’t be the case. A second public hearing will now be held before EAAC directors consider further approvals. “I expect that will happen this fall,” said Fleming of the hearing.

Currie catapults into college ranks at Kalamalka Secondary before transfering to Fulton for Grade 10. He listed hockey, where he was a power left winger, and baseball, where he patrolled centre field, ahead of volleyball until Grade 9. “That’s when I started taking it more seriously and people said I could go places so I started attending camps and trying to improve. I went to a UBCO tryout this winter and I could see myself playing there.”

Jumpstart the offence, make solid first contact, create pressure from the service line and score in a number of ways. All key components for head coach Brad Hudson’s Douglas Royals as they prepare for the Canadian Community Colleges Association Pac West men’s volleyball season. Fulton Maroons’ grad Kristian Currie meets all the criteria to be a Royal and has impressed Hudson in training camp in New Westminster. “He’s doing really well,” said Hudson. “We’re asking him to make some changes and he’s been very receptive and willing.” Hudson, 42 and entering his eighth season as bench boss, scouted Currie at club volleyball tournaments the past two years. Once Currie was on the Royals’ radar, Hudson checked with Vernon Volleyball Club coach Dwayne Remple on Currie’s progress and then signed the 6-foot-3, 175-pound left side. “Kristian is special,” said Hudson. “He’s tough, competitive, and a rock as a teammate. Every time I watched him play, he carried a heavy load as a primary passer as well as taking a lot of the big swings when his team needed him. That kind of accountability will serve him well in our gym.” Currie, who turns 18 on Oct. 6, rarely drops his game face. He competed in some informal summer scrimmages in New Westminster and wasn’t in over his head. “I did good, actually. It made me feel good that I could play with the guys, who all made me feel really welcome. The coach told me I could potentially start on the left side.” Currie won the North Okanagan Most Outstanding High School Boy Volleyball award and was also a nominee for the best all-around athlete. He also won an all-star award as he never left the court as the Maroons, coached by his father, Dan, placed eighth at the provincial senior AA chamnpionships last season. Fulton was ranked 10th going into the B.C. playdowns but only had seven seniors, adding four juniors. “We were up 2-0 and lost 3-2 to Okanagan Mission (Huskies of Kelowna) so we could have finished higher. We only had eight players so some juniors started

He’s good.” The CIS Memorial Sea-Hawks in Newfoundland also offered Currie a scholarship, but he chose to stay in his home province. “He (Hudson) watched me a lot and the Newfoundland guy got to see me at (club) nationals in Edmonton. The coach (Memorial) said he would still welcome
me in two years.” As for his strengths, Currie replied: “My athleticism and my jumping helps. My vertical is pretty good. I can jump as high or higher than guys who are taller than me.” Hudson said the players ahead of Currie on the depth chart are only a year older, and with a 24-match schedule, Currie can expect plenty of floor time. After a Grade 7 season at Coldstream Elementary, Currie kept playing volleyball

Currie and Charles Oduro of the Seaton Sonics came off the bench and helped Team B.C. Under 17 strike gold at the Western Elite Championships last year in Regina. He added 15 pounds through personal trainer Krishna Brown at Fitness West this summer. “We’ve been working on lots of core and legs. I want to hit the ball harder and I’ve got to get more vocal out there. I noticed (at Douglas College) they all talk. I’m kind of shy so I’ve got to work on that.” Currie and three roommates will share a house near the school. He will take general studies, including business, with an eye on perhaps running one of his folks’ Tim Hortons franchises in the North Okanagan. The Royals were Pac West champions in 2012 and Currie says their main rival is the Columbia Valley Bible College Bearcats of Abbotsford. Hudson said the Royals hope to attend a Christmas tournament in either Los Angeles or Arizona. They will share hosting a pre-season Alberta-B.C. ice breaker challenge later this month. Carson Heppell and Tristan Loewen, who boosted the Langley Fundamental Titans to the AA provincial title last season, are also new Royal recruits.

Resort earns international status Morning Star Staff
The little mountain that could continues to build a giant reputation within the mountain biking industry. Silver Star Mountain Resort’s bike park was recently awarded Silver Ride Centre Status by the International Mountain Biking Association. The IMBA Ride Centre designation represents the group’s trail recognition for large-scale mountain bike facilities that offer something for every rider. In order to gain the recognition, IMBA is looking for bike destinations that allow riders to bring a full arsenal of bikes to visit any Ride Centre location. From backcountry adventures to shuttle-served gravity trails, and from expert-only to family friendly. Silver Star bike park summer business manager Ian Galbraith and bike park director Cam Sorensen travelled to the IMBA World Summit in Steamboat Springs, Colo. to pick up the award. “We’re unbelievably excited to receive this award from IMBA,” said Galbraith. “To be recognized internationally for the work that we have put into our bike park over the years is especially satisfying for our hardworking trail crew that has built the network from the ground up.” Sorensen, says the bike park has been working for more than a decade building trails in hopes of gaining this type of recognition. “This isn’t something that just happens overnight,” said Sorensen. “This type of recognition is shared with so many people who have made the bike park what it is.” Sorensen believes the commitment by the resort to invest more than $250,000 over the next two years into the crosscountry mountain biking expansion also helped Silver Star gain the designation from IMBA. “This award embodies everything we’ve set out to do with our park in terms of offering trails for every level of rider,” he said. “We have trails for experts who want to rip big jumps on Pro Star all the way down to Challenger, a perfect start for the firsttime rider. The goal was to build a park where everyone can enjoy both downhill and cross-country, no matter how long they’ve been riding and you can progress from beginner trails up to intermediate and advanced.” IMBA describes the Ride Centre status

as the “riding destinations that should go on everyone’s short-list” for places to bike. These are the trails worth traveling to; the best places to introduce someone to the sport we all love and are the facilities builders and advocates should look to for inspiration. They vary from adventures in the backcountry to trail systems located a midst population centres. Silver Star was one of two locations in Canada to receive Ride Centre status and the only silver level located north of the border. “We are also one of only a few bike parks to have been bestowed with the status and we are incredibly proud of that,” said Sorensen.
Sorensen said as far as building and expansion, it’s been another busy season at the bike park. So far Sorensen and his trail crew have added more than 10 kilometres to the cross-country network, which now sits at 37-plus kilometres. He said the biggest task facing the resort is the completion Beowulf, an epic crosscountry trail ride that will be close to 30 kilometres when it’s finished. So far they completed two kilometres of the trail, with more expected to be roughed in once this fall. While cross-country expansion garners most of the attention, the bike park is also focused on adding more downhill trails. Silver Star just opened the upper section
of Jedi Mind Trick, which is roughly two kilometres of flawy trail that will connect to what was opened last summer lower down the mountain. Galbraith said the addition of crosscountry trails, along with on-mountain camping, and disc golf have made the resort a growing summer destination for the busy highway traffic coming through the region. “The addition of cross-country has brought a whole new clientele to the mountain that normally wouldn’t come up because downhill biking wasn’t their style. “Plus with on-mountain camping, we’re seeing more traffic from Vancouver, Calgary and the Pacific Northwest who’ve decided to spend three or four days riding because it’s more economical.” The Silver Star bike park is open for downhill riding today and again Sept. 13 and 14 before closing for the season. Silver Star Mountain Resort is scheduled to open for nordic skiing Nov. 7 and alpine skiing Nov. 27.

Vernon’s Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery has opened its much anticipated Laird of Fintry single malt whisky lottery. Produced in small batches using 100 per cent B.C. malted barley, B.C.’s oldest craft distillery releases the exclusive Laird only once a year. The lottery will be open until Oct. 18 and the draw will take place the week of Oct. 19. “Since its release in the fall of 2013, the whisky has gained major local interest,” states a release. “The initial batch of the Laird received more than 1,400 lottery participants spanning Canada. The last bottle of the batch was auctioned off for $550 at the annual Remind, Reminisce, Remember fundraiser in Vernon in support of the Alzheimer’s Society of B.C.” The Laird of Fintry title is based on James Cameron Dun-Waters, the laird of Fintry estates, who in the early 1900s, ordered a special batch of personally labelled single malt whisky from Scotland. “Using a replica of the original label, Okanagan Spirits wanted to pay homage to the history of whisky in the Okanagan,” states the release.

There’s a new opportunity to learn yoga in Vernon. Diann Bastian opened Yoga Room2 on 28th Avenue in March. “The studio has teachers who are dedicated, talented, caring and knowledgeable and they love yoga,” said Bastian, who will host an open house Saturday. There is a wide range of classes available, including beginner, moderate, yin yoga to reach deep into the fascia tissue, a stretch class, intuitive dance workshops and kai zen toning which is not yoga but a muscle class to tone and strengthen. “I started my yoga journey in early 2000,” said Bastian. “In 2001, I knew I wanted continue my own practice, to get more serious about yoga and to teach yoga to others. Teacher training and practice has taught me that there is also more to yoga than what’s learned on the mat. Yoga is taking me on a changed lifestyle path that I am ready for.” Bastian says yoga gives her a full body workout, without impact or wear on the body and joints. “My practice provides clarity, peace of mind and happiness in moving my body into postures, sitting and breathing,” she said. “Yoga benefits helped me find myself and I began to feel grounded, strong, healthy, happy and less emotional.” Bastian is encouraging local residents to stop by the open house Saturday. “Yoga Room2 is shared with a wide range of students, ages and abilities, who recognize the many benefits of keeping fit with the practice of yoga,” she said.

winds. We hunkered down in the Lilac Tree Lodge, taking solace by drinking tea and eating lovely oh-so-moist almondsprinkled cake. The wind continued to batter the walls, providing the soundtrack to that long ago war. But when morning dawned, the sodden garden flowers of the night before were transformed. Besotted with sunshine, we immediately got lost. After a heart-thudding ascent back to the start of the trail, we paid strict attention to the instructions found in Nick Brown’s book, The 1066 Country Walk. It was not the fault of his excellent descriptions, but rather our collective inability to note the obvious. Chastised by our error, we began reading more closely and the rest of the morning’s walk went as written. So much so, that we managed to meet the author within five minutes of the agreed upon time of noon in a tiny lane near Westfield. We’d bashed off close to eight kilometres and had another eight to go. With Nick at our side, we cruised through stubbled fields and over stiles. Perfect white puffy clouds blew overhead, birds twittered and streams rushed.
We checked into The Strand in Winchelsea, an inn dating back to the 13th century with a multiplicity of signs advising us to “Mind Your Head”, a reminder that the ever-settling-andskewed doors and lowslung rafters might present a challenge for anyone taller than five feet. Our final day dawned as bright as the day before. We walked past sheep and picked the last of the season’s blackberries as we headed to Rye; a city with more historically listed buildings than any other town in England.
In fact, the entire town is listed. So, it wasn’t enough that we were able to walk through every period of architectural history and imbibe a beer at a pub that’s had continuous patronage for the last six hundred years, but we also discovered that Rye was (I hope!) the only town in Ye Olde England that has the gibbetted remains of a long-ago criminal in their town hall attic (gibbetting, in case, like me, you also missed that bit of historical trivia, was the act of caging an-alreadydead-by-hanging corpse so that it could rot publicly as a further
deterrent to would-be criminals). It worked. In spite of the dearth of traffic, we were careful to obey each and every crosswalk signal. On your next trip to London, I respectfully suggest you grab a train down to the Sussex area. Take a walkabout and end it by strolling over the cobblestoned streets of Rye. You might not see a ghost of some poor previously-gibbetted soul, but I promise you’ll have a fabulous time. Just don’t break any laws and be sure to bring your boots.

BRITAIN - For the most part, it went as planned. It was simple really. We would do a threeday walk around the 1066 Battle of Hastings area in the south of England. We’d stroll over rolling green dales, pop into a castle or two where we’d learn the history about the Battle of 1066 (history that I knew was important, but the details of which I had somehow neglected to fully absorb during my spotty education). I pictured sunny little September picnics before checking in to the next town’s B & B. VisitBritain helped set the plan in motion; an afternoon train from London, a quick cab to the nearby town of Battle, a little history lesson by walking around the Battle Abbey site, an early dinner and then, for the next two days, some good and proper tramping through the English countryside. And indeed, we stood on the battlefield, listened to the audio guide, read the signs, walked through the museum, and yes, I felt like I finally understood what had taken place and why it was so historically significant (to sum up - the Normans beat the Anglo-Saxons, forever changing laws and adding heaps of castles to the mix). There was just one thing. The weather was utterly, and fantastically, miserable. As we exited the cab at the Abbey, our umbrellas were immediately rendered useless by the howling wind. Rain swirled up our noses, leaving us senseless and gasping. Our silly light shoes were soaked. Why, oh why did we think we wouldn’t need good hiking boots? That night, the rain continued to slop out of the dark, spinning and spewing on blistering

Tom and Lois Dooling said their “I do’s” back on Sept. 13, 1954 in Cranbrook, B.C., having dated since Grade 8. They raised their four children (Shannon, Jim, Tim and Brian) in Cranbrook, Dawson Creek and Vernon (where they have lived since 1968). One of their toughest life challenges in their 60 years together was the loss of Jim in 1975. One of their highlights has been and still is the joy they get from their two grandchildren, Kaitlyn, nine, and Matthew, eight, who live with their parents, Brian and Cathy, in Comox, B.C.

Echoes of British Columbia comes to Lumby GeorGie Hay Special to The Morning Star
Some exciting news from The Lumby Museum. By now, I hope that you’ve got a couple of dates jotted on your calendar, as we have two historical events coming up, as well as a regular one. You want to make sure that you schedule these days on your calendar. Sept. 18, 2014 at 2 p.m. is our regular monthly meeting right here at the museum. You just might want to take this in — as we will be discussing new and exciting ways to maintain and improve our museum. Please be a part of this historical planning and help us keep Lumby Museum the best it can be. Even though we are closed for the
season, we’ve decided that the first Prescription for Health, Walk, Roll & Run event, being hosted by our very own Lumby Health Centre on Sept. 20, deserves our enthusiasm and involvement. We are pleased, honoured and excited to be a part of this and know that you will support this event. We will have our museum open for that day and not only that but will have an ice cream cone concession available in our outside shed. We hope you support us in this Museum on The Run fundraiser, helping the history of health care to continue getting better and better in our community. Oct. 17, 2014 is another date to take note of as Lucky is coming to Lumby Town! Lucky (Robert Budd) has taken 998 interviews that were done between 1959 and 1966 and has transcribed them
into some very enchanting prose, relaying entertaining and exciting experiences. The original interviews and authentic real voices are captured on three audio CDs, and are included with his latest book Echoes of British Columbia. This event is scheduled for Oct. 17 to be held at J.W. Inglis elementary school. We are very proud to host this book launch here in Lumby! It will be a light luncheon reception with Lucky present for signing his wonderful collection of adventures. If British Columbia schools are still in the grasp of this ongoing labour dispute, the location will be at another facility in beautiful Lumby. I, for one can’t wait to hear what J.W. Inglis had to say way back when. Georgie Hay is with the Lumby Museum.

Bay bolsters local charities
Pop Ba ula ck r D By em and !

The Bay is shopping for more local charities and supporters to take part in a special day of giving. The Giving Day is a one-day exclusive shopping event designed to help charities raise funds. Across Canada, 34 Hudson’s Bay stores, including Vernon, will host the Giving Day on Thursday. Anyone with a ticket will earn special discounts in store and in turn is helping local charities help others, through the ticket purchase. “Our charities are Vernon United Way, Vernon Special Olympics, Vernon SPCA, Teens Count Too, Have A Heart, Upper Room Mission, and our corporate charity Look Good Feel Better,” said Rein Nurmsoo, Hudson’s Bay Vernon general manager. “Tickets are now available at the store and of course from our charities.” Additional charities are also invited to get on board with the initiative. Tickets cost $5 with all proceeds from the sales going to the charity. Those purchasing tickets to the Giving Day will receive 20 per cent off almost all items in the store with their HBC credit card or 15 per cent off with any other form of tender. Ticket holders will be treated to in-store events, and will be entered for a chance to win The Giving Day store prize. Tickets will also be available at The Bay the day of the event. “My hope is that this event is a success, and we raise a significant amount of money for the local charities, and create an annual event,” said Nurmsoo.

Lumby residents have demonstrated support for an outdoor music venue. The inaugural Lumby Live summer concert series has wrapped up. “This year featured six evenings of live music, free to the public, in downtown Lumby and it was an overwhelming success,” said organizer Randal Ostafichuk. “In a community as small as Lumby, it is fantastic to get such support from everyone to turn an idea into a reality.” The final concert by Young ‘Uns drew 200 people and the average weekly attendance was about 85 people. Among those involved in Lumby Live were the Monashee Arts Council, the Village of Lumby, the White Valley Parks Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee, the Vernon School District, Tutor-Tech Computers, the Lumby Lions and Valley First Credit Union. “A very special thank you goes out to Tim Reardon for setting up, running, and tearing down the audio equipment each week,” said Ostafichuk. “Lastly, thank you to all of the people who attended Lumby Live over the summer months. Your support comes from showing up and enjoying fantastic live entertainment for free in the heart of downtown Lumby.” Planning is already underway for next year. “I would love to be able to host Lumby Live again in 2015, so if you would like to see this event happen again next year, please take the time to send an e-mail to lumbylive@gmail.com showing your support,” said Ostafichul. “Every little bit helps in getting the same organizations and artists on board for 2015.”

BCTF seeks binding arbitration Education Minister Peter Fassbender all but ruled out a call Friday from the B.C. Teachers Federation for binding arbitration to end the teachers strike. BCTF president Jim Iker urged the province to agree to arbitration and leave class size and composition to be settled by the courts, promising the union would then hold a membership vote on suspending the strike and returning to work. Fassbender said he does not categorically reject the idea, adding the government team needs to see the detailed proposal in writing. “I’ve never been a fan of binding arbitration,” he said, adding handing over control to a third party risks an outcome that compromises B.C.’s balanced budget and unacceptably damages the province’s finances.
He remained firm that the province wants a negotiated settlement in line with the pay raises accepted by other government unions. “This government will not raise taxes in order to provide a settlement to one union that does not reflect what the other public sector has done,” Fassbender said. “The one and only option that I believe strongly makes sense is for both parties to be at the table, for the B.C. Teachers Federation to become realistic in their wage and benefit proposal, and then for us to negotiate, mediate the other items that are still at the table.” Fassbender also made it clear he wasn’t happy that Iker gave the government’s negotiator just five minutes warning of the offer, with no details. Iker, in a livestreamed statement to teachers and the media, called binding arbitra-
tion the “fastest and most fair option that will see schools open and our kids back in the classroom.” He accused the province of “delay tactics” and criticized attacks delivered on Twitter.
“This government has put up road blocks,” Iker said Friday. Among his preconditions is that the province drop its proposed E80 clause, which allows either side to dodge the effect of a future appeal
court ruling against them on class size and special needs resources. “Their attempt to bargain their way out of their two court losses has been the biggest obstacle to a settlement,” Iker said.

Tapestry Choir takes inspiration from the U.K.’s Calendar Girls for fundraiser for new digital mammography machine at Vernon Jubilee Hospital Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
What do you get when you put together a women’s choir, a concert theme, a visit to the mammography clinic at Vernon Jubilee Hospital and a talented photographer? You get Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, a fundraising calendar featuring members of Tapestry Women’s Choir, in support of the new digital mammography machine for the hospital. Last July, choir conductor Deborah Mehes had a very informative conversation with a technician at the clinic, explaining how desperately this new machine was needed in the community. As the leader of a dynamic ensemble of 40 women, she began to brainstorm how to harness all that “girl power” to do something creative to support the fundraising efforts, but had no clear idea what shape it might take. Fast forward to September 2013 and the start of a new rehearsal season. Conductors are always thinking ahead, not just to the next concert, but sometimes a year or more in advance. As well, fundraising is nothing new for Tapestry. “Giving each concert a theme helps considerably to focus musical and artistic choices,” said Mehes. “A performance based on months of the year offered a great scope for song choices and naturally brought the song Calendar Girls to mind, which then led to thinking of the great movie of the same name, a true story about another dynamic group of women. Could Tapestry possibly create a calendar, as had those feisty gals from Yorkshire?” Mehes brought two copies of the film for everyone to watch and get a feel for the project. She said sometimes the stars just align when things are meant to be, and in this case it was the talent and new business venture
Katherine MortiMer/Morning Star
Dorianne Kohl with one of the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun calendars made by members of Tapestry Choir, with all proceeds going towards the purchase of a new digital mammography machine at VJH. of choir member Amy Bell, who had just launched Cherry Kiss Pin Up Photography. “She brought samples of her work to a rehearsal one night and the pieces all just clicked,” said Mehes. “Amy’s work is fun, flirty and makes women look fabulous, bringing to mind the golden era of ‘50s pinup photography. “Here was the perfect project for Tapestry, to truly become ‘Calendar Girls and create our very own calendar for a cause, a ‘work of heart.’”
From there, 20 brave members of the choir volunteered to become “Calendar Girls” and the fun began. Bell brought each “month” in separately and did complete hair, makeup and wardrobe for each photo shoot in her studio in Enderby. Lyn Fraser visited local businesses and solicited sponsorships for each calendar page. Lakeside Printing in Salmon Arm gave a great rate and technical support for the printing of the calendars and now the finished product is ready for release. Using fun retro props at Bell’s Enderby
photography studio, choir members posed with everything from enormous flowers to picnic baskets covered in giant plastic ants. Longtime choir member Dorianne Kohl — August’s pin-up along with Fran Regnier — found herself reflecting upon the whole essence of the calendar project recently. “It seems to me that throughout history, when a group of women gather together for a common purpose — such as quilting, sewing, making handicrafts — there is a comradeship and a joy in that unique creative, sharing process,” said Kohl, whose calendar month is also that of her birthday. “The women from Tapestry Choir who agreed to be photographed for the 2015 fundraising calendar, were required to abandon their insecurities, and trust that we were in good hands, with Amy Bell’s expertise in photography and style, and that the ultimate product would be produced in good taste. “That the process turned out to be both fun, creative and exhilarating, was an added bonus. I believe that every woman photographed is not only pleased with the results, but proud to have been part of this unique project “I have not had that kind of experience since I was modelling and it was so much fun: laughing and talking and sharing a big bottle of wine.” Kohl said as the calendars are now being distributed for sale, Tapestry members feel a collective pride in the funds raised for the new digital mammography machine. “It’s women working together to make a difference for our community’s health and wellbeing,” she said. “A new awareness of what can be achieved when we put fear aside, and step out of the shadows into the light.” Girls Just Wanna Have Fun calendars sell for $18 a copy, with all profits donated to the purchase of a digital mammography machine at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Look for your copy in the following locations: in Vernon at the VJH Gift Shop, the office of podiatrist Dr. Bruce Boothe and at Bra Heaven; in Armstrong at Armstrong Collision, The Brown Derby Cafe, Chocoliro, Country Comforts Esthetics, For Your Eyes Only Gift Gallery, Royal Lepage Realty, Shepherd’s Hardware Outdoor Living, and Your Dollar Store With More; in Enderby, at Enderby Auto Body, Hungry Jack’s Cafe, Key Team Realty, and Sticks and Stones Pottery (Mabel Lake).

About that OFF switch
L
ast spring I got off on a bit of a tirade regarding the intrusivenes of the current version of Windows. I can pass along a few work-arounds that avoid many of the Windows related pop-ups that are so annoying and counterproductive. Those of you using Internet Explorer might want to consider switching to Firefox or Safari which seem to be less affected, with the latter product from Apple being the
computer question Vernon pc user’s club most immune. It is a full-featured browser considered by many to be equal to or better than others on the market. Avoid plug-ins and apps closely tied to Windows and software vendors claiming to be Microsoft “partners.” If you use your com-
puter to manage your personal finances, find software that you can use offline and go on the Internet only to pay bills and check your bank account. Any pop-ups responded to positively are potentially “gotchas” whereby people bent on doing harm to your computer can gain entry to your system. Never leave a browser open and connected to the Internet even for a short time because when you return you may find many of its tabs have been opened as well. The
bad stuff is coming at you at close to the speed of light so it doesn’t take long to infect. When you go to bed or leave your home shut your system down altogether. At the very least disconnect from the Internet. Anti-malware and anti-virus software will provide a measure of protection if current, but there is a wack of it out there, some of which are “gotchas.” Be very wary of the popups that warn of imminent disasters if you don’t register for and

Snowbirds bring ‘Elvis’ into the building to help kids Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Two winters ago, retired psychologists Brian and Jody Johnson of Vernon did what many snowbirds do, they went to the popular holiday destination of Mazatlán on the west coast of Mexico. The vacation would prove to be life changing. While buying groceries, they heard the voices of children singing at the entrance to the store. Upon inquiry, through fellow snowbirds, they found out the youngsters were mostly orphans from a nearby children’s home run by the Salvation Army. The Johnsons decided to visit the home, located on a rural property outside of the city, and say they fell in love with the two Salvation Army officers, Aseal and Rocio Flores, who look after the home and the 25-plus children who reside there. “The children in the home are either orphans, or have been neglected, abused or exploited,” said Jody. “For example, a new child to the home in November, when we arrived, was four years old with severe breaks to his upper legs. He was in a full hip/leg cast - the story being that he had been left at home with a younger sibling while mom worked and a five gallon water jug fell on him.” The Flores almost single-handedly parent all the children and have to deal with the upkeep of the home. “The home receives no government funding although children are brought into the care of the home by the family services agency,” said Jody. “The Salvation Army provides the officers who care for the children, but do not fund the operation of the home. Consequently, money is scarce and basic necessities – milk, toilet tissue, shampoo – are often lacking. One major source of funding are the performances of songs and ethnic dances by the children in

bills, so we raised enough money to replace the wiring and connect to a solar system. Also, they had only one large van to transport children to their performances – very expensive when one child needed to go to the doctor, dentist or hospital – so we raised some more and together with some funds from the Mazatlán Rotary Club, a small truck was purchased.” Improving the home’s security wall for safety reasons is the next priority. “Two years ago, during the Christmas season, an armed robbery occurred after the
family returned home from an event,” said Jody. “Again this past Christmas, a break-in occurred into the compound but the intruders did not enter any of residences. The police were called but did not attend because of the rural destination.” The Flores, who live in the home with their own two children, have also had to deal with continual theft from the property. “The lack of security is stressful and dangerous. Most properties in Mexico are surrounded by brick walls with razor wire on top. A wall is absolutely a necessity at the children’s home to provide physical security and peace of mind,” said Jody. To help raise funds for this project, the Johnsons are holding a fundraiser, which will feature a performance by Elvis tribute artist Adam Fitzpatrick, at Vernon’s Trinity United Church Sept. 20. The Penticton-based singer is known locally for his past performances with the Louisiana Hayride show and has now gone out on his own with his award-winning tribute to the King. This summer has been a busy one for Fitzpatrick. He recently took top spot in the third annual Europe’s Tribute to Elvis in Blackpool, England, earning himself another berth to the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Competition, held in Elvis’ hometown of Memphis and sponsored by the Graceland estate. (He placed as first runner-up in the competition last year.) Fitzpatrick was also just crowned grand champion and people’s choice at the 2014 Heart of the King Contest at the Las Vegas Elvis Festival. Fitzpatrick performs in an evening of gospel/ inspirational Elvis songs to benefit the Salvation Army Children’s Home in Mazatlán, Sept. 20, 7 p.m., at Trinity United. Tickets are $25 at Ticket Seller in the Performing Arts Centre (250-5497469) or online at www.ticketseller.ca.
Greater Vernon gets ready to show off its cultural side Morning Star Staff
Vernon area residents can join the rest of Canada and British Columbia in celebrating this year’s Culture Days, Sept. 26 to 28. Culture Days features free participatory and interactive arts and cultural activities presented by individual artists, groups, organizations, municipalities, and festivals. There are so far six free events registered for Culture Days in the Greater Vernon area. They include the Vernon Performing Arts Centre and
Okanagan Regional Library’s Booksmack!, Friday, Sept. 26 in the Performing Arts Centre’s foyer from 7 to 8 p.m. The Booksmack features a crew of librarians, local authors/poets and storytellers who will speed review as many books and films as they can in an hour. The Vernon Public Art Gallery hosts two events as part of Culture Days, including a poetry reading, artist talk and open discussion about First Nations peoples and their lives with Margo Tamez, Mariel Belanger,
Garry Gottfriedson, and Nigit’stil Norbert, Sept. 26 from 7 to 9 p.m. The gallery is also hosting its Family Saturday session with a workshop on Aboriginal dot painting for children five and over (parents are also welcome), Sept. 27 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. All materials will be supplied. The Vernon Community Arts Centre in Polson Park is getting in on the action with a demonstration of a obvara firing, Sept. 27 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Obvara is a raku style technique
of finishing the surface of pottery. After bisquing, the pottery is heated to about 1650 F, dunked into a fermented flour and yeast mixture, then dunked into water to be rapidly cooled. The pieces range from off white to almost black with speckles, a beautiful, but not food safe finish. The Greater Vernon Museum and Archives has a fun drop-in hands-on activity for all ages, Sept. 26 and 27 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Spot What Doesn’t Belong will see participants searching the museum displays to find the artifacts that

And not to be outdone, the Regional District of the North Okanagan is hosting a public open house and fun activities related to the Greater Vernon Cultural Plan. It is slated to take place Sept. 27 at the Village Green Centre, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more on Culture Days, visit culturedays.ca.

he release of a new book in a popular series is always welcome. It is like visiting with a dear friend you have not seen for some time. For the most part, authors deliver the goods and a new volume often expands the scope and appeal of a series. Journals of Matthew Quinton by J.D. Davies is a delightPeter Critchley ful tale launched in 2010 with Gentleman Captain, a rousing first novel by a talented author and expert in 17th century British naval history – a setting that novelists have not explored to any great extent. A chaotic state of affairs reigned in the British navy in the wake of Cromwell’s Commonwealth collapse and the restoration of the monarchy. Commonwealth seaman, humble but accomplished sailors, adroitly commanded the seas in the decade past. But Charles II, the new king, viewed these commanders with suspicion and wanted and needed captains loyal to the throne – gentleman captains chosen by breeding rather than competence, such as our 21-year-old narrator Matthew Quinton, the younger brother of the current Earl of Ravensden. In Gentleman Captain the young aristocrat is summoned by the king for a new assignment despite his disastrous previous commission as captain of the Happy Restoration, a ship that literally sank beneath his feet. The king orders Matthew to immediately board the Jupiter and sail with the Royal Martyr

to intercept a massive arms shipment before it falls into the hands of the restive Scottish clans. The author creates a remarkable sense of time and place in the series. The characters are rounded and three-dimensional and the tale is told with confidence and verve. Two other volumes follow Gentleman Captain and the author is working on a fourth volume that readers of the series are already eagerly anticipating. You don’t have to be a military action fiction fan to enjoy the Bob Lee Swagger series by Stephen Hunter. In the latest volume, Sniper’s Honor (2014), the indefatigable Swagger, former marine sniper now retired in the Cascades, ends up in the Carpathian Mountains after long-time friend and veteran reporter Kathy Reilly calls to question him about firearms. Swagger learns she is investigating Ludmilla Petrova, a blonde beauty known as the White Witch, a Second World War Russian sniper famous for her heroics at Stalingrad, Kursk and elsewhere. He is further intrigued when Reilly discovers Petrova has disappeared from postwar records and offers to help, even if it means flying to Russia. Hunter does a terrific job of connecting the multiple story lines and several characters throughout the tale are simply indelible, including the protagonist. This enduring character grows more complex with age and each new volume. Sniper’s Honor is the ninth volume in the Bob Lee Swagger series, a work that continues to evolve and entertain at the highest level. Light of the World (2013) is the latest volume in the cel-

ebrated Dave Robicheaux series by acclaimed author and master storyteller James Lee Burke. This is the 20th volume in the series and it is perhaps the author’s most sharply focused and harrowing study of the incessant battle between good and evil— the core theme of this terrific series. Robicheaux is an introspective character unable to shake his grief for lost innocence in all its forms, the goodness of the past he remembers growing up in southern Louisiana. But even as he struggles to come to terms with the past he continues to battle against evil in the present. This time evil walks in the form of psychopathic serial killer Asa Surette, believed to be dead. Surette resurfaces in Montana, determined to settle old scores, including one with Robicheaux’s daughter Alafair, at the same time as the Louisiana sheriff ’s detective and his family are vacationing in the Big Sky state. The plot unfolds in a manner familiar to Burke fans, except for a major difference – Robicheaux and his best friend, private eye Clete Purcell, are not sallying forth alone on another quest into the heart of darkness. This time Alafair and Clete’s daughter, Gretchen, a character who first surfaced in Creole Belle (2012), stand beside their fathers at the final confrontation. Other series of note available at your Okanagan Regional Library (www.orl.bc.ca) include Craig Johnson’s Walter Longmire crime novels, Bernard Cornwell’s riveting Warlord Chronicles and Harry Sidebottom’s searing Warrior of Rome series. – Peter Critchley is a reference librarian at the Vernon branch of the Okanagan Regional Library.

Dead man spelunking
S
carlett (Perdita Weeks) is a young archeologist, continuing her father’s work, seeking out the Philosopher’s Stone, a legendary alchemical substance said to turn base metals into gold or silver as well as having rejuvenatory powers, possibly creating immortality for the holder. When clues point her to the catacombs under Paris, she and a group of unofficial spelunkers descend under the City of Light, seeking the stone and finding the gates of hell. We say, “It will do, for now.” TAYLOR: It’s always exciting to see new horror movies. Horror is the most inventive genre of film. So, as long as the film isn’t another sequel to some film that has spent its originality, it’s likely to at least be some fun. As Above, So Below is a naturally scary film that doesn’t rely on gimmicks, or even very unique imagery, despite having one of the more awesome posters I’ve seen in a while. This is a film relying on common, shared, ancient fears: the unknown, the dark, claustrophobia and plain old-fashioned evil. HOWE: Plus, adding the fact that we haven’t seen a good ol’ fashioned horror in a long time doesn’t hurt.

Reel Reviews
Taylor and Howe
I thought this was a pretty decent movie for what it is. It made me jump a few times, which we know is a cheap gimmick to get scares, but hey, it works. Like many horror films, As Above, So Below is shot in shaky cam mode the entire movie. When the characters are running around frantically underground, this style gets the hairs on the back of your neck to stand up. There’s also some lighthearted moments early on in the As Above, So Below that try to make the film seem real, but I noticed that a few of the actors couldn’t pull it off. TAYLOR: Perdita Weeks is the most famous actor in the film. She’s done a bunch of TV shows and a couple of movies. I’d never seen her before. John E. Dowdle, the director and writer with brother Drew, are known for previous horror films, Devil and Quarantine. As Above, So Below, like many horror

It’s still an effective film and although it takes you through a more generalized horror experience, it didn’t do anything to annoy or otherwise distract me. There are some good jumps, some genuinely creepy moments (I particularly don’t like weirdo satanic choirs) and cringe-worthy events. HOWE: The storyline wasn’t that strong, but I did find the film itself was moving along at a nice steady pace, building momentum till it reached the climax. Sometimes movies done this way are let down by a poor ending, but I found As Above, As Below didn’t

really fall into that category. TAYLOR: I’m certainly not saying this is anything to write home about. There is nothing novel about people in a scary situation dealing with their own personal demons. If you’re in the mood for a decent descent, As Above, So Below will get you your fix. – Taylor gives As Above, So Below 3 empty chairs out of 5. – Howe gives it 3 church bells out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

You could call them a brass army, whose instruments not only include trumpet, horn, trombone and tuba, but a rod and reel. When not blowing wind for the Okanagan Symphony, the musicians that make up the quintet Fish on Five can usually be found out on the water trying to hook a handsome trout or salmon.

Celtic choir gears up for season Morning Star Staff
After three successful seasons of growth, and with the recent addition of men, the Okanagan Celtic Choir, under the direction of Andrew Mercer, kicks off its season Sept. 17 with an open house. “New members or potential new members are invited to come by for a meet and greet and to see what the choir is all about,” said Mercer. The open house takes place at the choirs’ regular meeting place, the Church of Christ, 4107 Pleasant Valley Rd., at 7 p.m. “Although musical ability is an asset, there is no expectation to be able to read music or have any choral experience,” said Mercer. “It is really more about sharing the gift of singing with one another and having fun doing it.” Mercer is just rounding out a very busy summer touring the country with his band Cod Gone Wild. “I’m looking forward to getting back to a bit more of a routine and working with the choir once again this year for what promises to be a fun and exciting season,” he said. This year, the choir is performing at several engagements throughout its seven-month season. Its first performance is Nov. 28 at the Downtown Vernon Christmas lightup. The choir is also performing with Cod Gone Wild at a few of the band’s St. Patrick’s Day performances in the Okanagan, in particular at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. “The choir will be opening the shows once again and will be joining

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist IAN JOHNSTONE
Living in Canada, we don’t consider bugs as part of our daily diet but the United Nations report that over 2 billion people worldwide supplement their diets with insects. Insects are actually quite nutritious being high in protein, fat and minerals. For example, caterpillars have more protein than beef. (Now is we can just get over the “ick” feeling of insect consumption…). Sometimes visiting your doctor, you are given a lot of information and it can be hard to keep it all straight. At the end of the visit, try this: repeat back the main instructions your doctor has given you to ensure you got it right. It helps the doctor and it will certain make things clearer for you. You doctor won’t mind. More women are having their first baby later in life compared to their counterparts of a generation ago. There were nine times more first births to women over 35 than there were 40 years ago. On the plus side, these children seem to fare better due to better economic security. On the negative side, older women are at greater risk of having complications like diabetes and heart problems during pregnancy. Here’s another reason to stop smoking especially if you are a parent. It seems that children of smoking parents are more likely to experiment with cigarettes and end up being heavy smokers themselves. If you need help quitting smoking our pharmacists can help. Talk to them.

Blue Heron Pub is CLOSING FOR THE WINTER Moderately Confused
BLUE HERON PUB WILL BE CLOSING SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2014
Bridge by Phillip Alder THE ERRORS CONTINUE TO BE PRODUCED James Joyce said, “A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.” This week, we have seen deals featuring errors by players who are not bridge geniuses, from which we can learn. And here is another. What do you think of the bidding and what should happen in four spades after West leads the heart three? North’s jump to three spades showed four-card support but less than gameinvitational values. With a stronger hand, North would have made a threeheart cue-bid raise. This is an excellent idea because it allows the advancer (or
the responder, if South had opened and West overcalled) to show either a weak, distributional raise or a high-card raise. Should East have rebid four hearts? Yes, perhaps that contract was making. No, because it was almost certain to push South into bidding four spades, which East could not be sure of defeating. Here, though, South was going to bid four spades regardless. Since West had supported hearts, his low-heart lead guaranteed at least one honor in the suit. East, hoping that honor was the king, took the first trick with his ace and returned a heart. However, South won with the king and cashed his two top trumps. When the queen dropped, South
claimed. At trick two, East should have shifted to his singleton diamond. Here, that would have worked perfectly. West would have won with his ace and given his partner a diamond ruff. East would then have cashed the club ace for down one.
The Blue Heron Pub would like to thank all of our customers and staff for their support in making this a successful season. WE WILL RE-OPEN MAY 2015! HOPE TO SEE YOU THEN.

Zegerina Grada (Rina) Aarnoudse Zegerina Grada (Rina) Aarnoudse was born on January 8th, 1915 in Ijsselmonde, Netherlands and passed away on August 28th, 2014 in the North Okanagan Hospice at the age of 99 years. Rina will be lovingly remembered by her daughter, Lettie Maloney of Vernon, BC; three grandchildren, Jack (Lorrie) Aarnoudse, Terry (Debbie) Aarnoudse and Steven (Candace) Maloney; several greatgrandchilden; numerous extended family members and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband Maris (Morris) in 2005; her son, Pieter in 2013; and all of her siblings. Rina’s father owned a barge so she was raised on the barge but received her education on land in the area of Ijsselmonde. As an adult she thoroughly enjoyed acting and singing in the choir in Holland. In 1969 she left her home country and came to Canada to marry her childhood sweetheart Morris, who had previously come to Westlock, Alberta in 1948. His first wife, Nell, had died in 1968 and now Morris and Rina started a life together. They remained in Westlock until 1978 when they moved to Vernon. Morris and Rina had a very happy life together for 36 years until the death of Morris in 2005. Rina loved needlework, tatting and embroidery. She was a gifted professional seamstress and made many beautiful garments through her life. She loved the outdoors and enjoyed many times of camping with family and friends. Rina had a passion for classical music. She could be found sitting and listening to Bach as well as other renowned composers of classical music for hours. Cremation preceded a Graveside Service which will take place at the family plot in the Pleasant Valley Cemetery on Saturday, September 13th, 2014 at 3:00 P.M. At this time both Morris and Rina will be laid to rest, side by side, in the wood urns that Morris made for them both, long before his death. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Rina to the North Okanagan Hospice Society, 3506-27th Avenue, Vernon, BC V1T 1S4 Funeral arrangements have been made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD. 5605-27th Street, Vernon, BC V1T 8Z5 • 250-542-1187
