Amalgamation study plan quashed RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Vernon residents will not get a say on whether amalgamation should proceed with the neighbours. On Monday, a majority of council rescinded a January motion in principle to ask Vernon voters if the city should pursue the creation of a committee to study the implications of restructuring Greater Vernon governance. “We’d be asking our citizens to fund a study of a marriage where only one person is approaching the altar,” said

Mayor Rob Sawatzky of the Councillors Bob Spiers opposition from Coldstream and Mary-Jo O’Keefe pushed and Areas B and C to a study. for the question to be put Sawatzky also before Vernon votsuggested that a ers. city referendum in “I’d like to get a November could sense of what citidisrupt the positive zens think,” said relationship with O’Keefe, adding the other jurisdicthat the efforts of tions and the prothe Greater Vernon vincial government Governance Society Rob Sawatzky won’t fund a study if should be acknowlonly one participant edged. is involved.

Spiers insists that seeking the views of residents in November would provide direction to the next city council on amalgamation. “I’m not saying amalgamation is the way to go, let’s just do a study,” he said. However, Coun. Juliette Cunningham believes putting the issue before city residents this fall would create false expectations that amalgamation will occur. “If council in the future gets a dancing partner (another jurisdiction), they can pursue it then,” she said.

Jamie Morrow says he’s ready to roll up his sleeves and get to work to enhance Vernon. Morrow, a 54-year-old recruiter for Okanagan College’s School of Business, has announced he will run for Vernon mayor Nov. 15. “With municipal politics, you can make a difference,” said Morrow, who served a term on Sparwood council in the 1990s and moved back to Vernon in 2000 after growing up here. “I thought about running during the last two terms, and this time with what’s going on, I thought I’d throw my hat in for mayor.” A primary issue for Morrow Jamie Morrow is economic development and ensuring businesses and residents have the opportunity to reach their full potential. “I believe in our town and I have seen this town grow, and then stagnate and then grow,” he said. “I’d like to see Vernon grow and our youth get jobs and mature people get jobs.” When asked how he would stimulate the economy, Morrow says a plan would develop after meeting with businesses, community stakeholders and city staff. “You just can’t come in and say this is wrong and that is wrong. It’s about collaboration,” he said. Morrow insists that job growth can’t occur in isolation from other issues such as affordable housing or providing sports and cultural amenities, and a balance is required to meet the needs of the public. “I hate seeing the brain drain that leaves our community. I want to see things coming into the community,” he said. “It’s not about running for mayor to be the mayor. It’s about having a community with a healthy environment.” Morrow enters the race for mayor along with Victor Cumming, Mary-Jo O’Keefe and Klaus Tribes. He isn’t concerned about too many names being on the ballot or the vote being split. “I look at it as a positive because if you have a healthy slate for mayor, it shows people are serious about their community,” he said, adding that a range of candidates may also help increase voter turnout. “It shows that people want to be part of moving Vernon into the future.”

Surprise makeover transforms camp RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

It’s a transformation beyond any expectations. On Saturday, an army of 300 volunteers showed up at Easter Seals Camp Winfield to initiate an extreme makeover of the facility, which opens its doors to children with mental and physical disabilities. “With what’s being done here, they end up with the best camp in the world,” said Stephen Miller, Easter Seals president. “We’re thrilled by what’s going on here. It’s amazing.” The catalyst for the surprise makeover began in the spring when Relish Transport owner Rob Ellis and his wife Lisa toured the property and noticed the aging infrastructure. “Throwing money at it wasn’t a solution but getting a group of people together to renovate the camp would be a better use of time and money,” said Lisa Ellis, who lives in Armstrong. From there, the couple enlisted members of their ball team and the planning moved ahead — including approaching friends and businesses from throughout the Okanagan and as far away as Vancouver and Quebec. “It took on a life of its own. The support was insane,” said Leah Riley, a Vernon resident who was on the organizing committee. “Every person we talked to wanted to be part of it.” Between donated products and volunteer labour, about $1.2 million was invested in the camp, including a new outdoor barbecue area, irrigation, a fire break, a new outdoor amphitheater, cabinets, appliances, furniture, a tarp for the waterslide, painting, landscaping, handicapped doors and new air conditioning in the dorms. “Something was going on in every corner,” said Riley. While everyone was busy, a small group focused on a memorial garden, a secret project that was only unveiled after the work was completely done. “It’s a place to say goodbye to their friends,” said Riley of the campers, who are devastated when they learn of a summer friend’s death. The community investment was a major boost for the nonprofit camp, which operates on a limited budget. “We scrounge, we fix, we repair, we patch. We do the best we can,” said Rick Harker, who is the caretaker along with his wife Marlene. “This is beyond anything you can dream of or fathom to see all of the brand new stuff.” Despite the months of planning and all of the hard work Saturday, Riley says the entire project was worth the effort as the camp can continue to provide children with the fun and independence they deserve. “We want to inspire other people to do something like this,” she said.

Councillors eye election RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Two incumbent politicians are hoping to hold on to their Vernon council seats. Both Catherine Lord and Brian Quiring will seek second terms on council during the Nov. 15 civic election. “There are many issues facing Vernon, from the state of our economy to the sustainability of our infrastructure,” said Lord, who is a former manager of O’Keefe Ranch and was director of finance in Coldstream. Catherine Lord “A number of actions to address some of these issues are in progress, and I’d like to see them through to completion, particularly in the area of retaining and expanding our existing local businesses.” Lord, who has lived in Vernon since 1976, also wants to focus on cost containment Brian Quiring at city hall. “This past council has held administration to no staff increases and to a 1.8 per cent ceiling on cost increases annually,” she said. “One of my priorities is to always, always consider the cost to the taxpayer. For a sustainable community, we must run efficiently, live within our means, and deliver the best value for money.” In terms of Vernon’s relationship with Coldstream and the regional district, Lord says it has improved due to trust and respect. “That must be maintained if we want to achieve any region-wide initiatives, especially if we are applying for financial assistance from the provincial government,” she said. Quiring says he is seeking a second term because of some major outstanding issues. “We’re not quite there yet with development. There are still some concerns in the community that we can improve our development permit process,” said the 51-year-old architect who has lived in

Vernon for 21 years. “I am a good liaison between city staff and the development community. I run a successful business with 20 people and I understand the business community. I bring something unique to the table.” Quiring says his goal is to create a sustainable community economically, socially and environmentally. “I will continue to encourage and promote transit-oriented, mixed-use development with a wide range of housing choices,” he said. Another priority, he said, will continue to be promoting sustainable architecture, landscape and agriculture. “I’ve been pretty socially minded while on council,” he said.

A Spallumcheen home has been completely destroyed by fire. Firefighters were called to a residence on Demorest Road at about 6:49 p.m. Sunday. “It was a fully involved structure right in the middle of the forest,” said Ian Cummings, Armstrong-Spallumcheen fire chief. There was little that could be done to save the home, so the primary focus was ensuring the adjacent forest did not go up in flames. “We were able to keep it from spreading into the interface,” said Cummings, adding that the wildfire risk remains in the region. “Conditions are still very dry and Sunday was a hot day.” The owner of the home was not present and the investigation into the cause continues. “It will be very difficult to determine the cause because there is nothing left,” said Cummings of the debris.

said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The man was transferred to Kelowna General Hospital to be under the care of a neurosurgeon. Officers conducted inquiries of staff and possible witnesses in the bar, and police were able to locate who they believe to be a 23-year-old suspect in the assault. “He was arrested, but no formal charges have been laid at this time and he has been released from custody,” said Molendyk, adding there is no indication at this time that the victim and suspect knew each other. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the RCMP at 250-545-7171.

Money owner sought ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

They know who the money belongs to. They just don’t know her name or anything about her. Armstrong RCMP members received a call Saturday at 11 a.m. about a large sum of money found on the floor of the Armstrong Liquor Store. “A Good Samaritan found the cash on the floor and turned it over to the clerk,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. A check of the store’s surveillance camera found that the cash belonged to a white-haired woman wearing a black top and white capri pants. Staff and investigators believe the woman is from Alberta. “The RCMP are asking anyone who may know this woman, or possibly her family members in the area, to please contact them so the cash can be returned,” said Molendyk. “The amount of cash and how it was packaged will be part of the way we’ll use to identify the woman.” Anybody with any information is asked to call the RCMP at 250-546-3028.

Aberdeen speed an issue ROGER KNOX

Morning Star Staff

Cheryl Dowler doesn’t need a speed reader board to tell her how fast traffic is going when vehicles pass her walking along Aberdeen Road in Coldstream. She estimates vehicles’ speed by how much her hair flies. The Coldstream mom was expressing concern to Coldstream council Monday about her kids and other kids walking along Aberdeen Road to Coldstream Elementary now that a school bus route has been removed by the Vernon Jim Garlick School District because of budget cuts. Council has agreed to install additional signage and a crosswalk in the vicinity of Paisley Drive, as well as temporary concrete barriers at the new crosswalk. While appreciative of council’s efforts, Dowler thinks more can be done. “Parents are still going to drive their kids because they’re scared and it doesn’t take long to see why they’re scared, especially the southern portion (of Aberdeen Road),” said Dowler. “The road is full of potential danger and obstacles. It is busy. Every time I walk on the shoulder, it is guaranteed that a

car will speed by. “The vehicles are too close, too fast.” Dowler told council that, according to the Motor Vehicle Act, Aberdeen Road is too far away from Coldstream Elementary for school zone signage and the preferred 30 km/hour speed limit. “There will be kids who walk or ride their bikes because they want to, but we know there will be kids who walk because they have to. We are speaking for them,” said Dowler, who was joined at council by her Shamanski Drive neighbour, Nichoel Crawford. “They’ll be out there when the roads are slippery, when the light is dim, when the snowbanks are thick, and with speeding bullets barely missing them by just a few feet. “What we want is our kids off the shoulder, off the road. Let’s start with a pedestrian path along Aberdeen Road between Paisley and the (Coldstream) fire hall.” Crawford called for council to consider a sidewalk from the fire hall to the new crosswalk. Mayor Jim Garlick told the women their requests will be considered during the 2015 budget deliberations. “Those conversations will happen on potential projects,” said Garlick. Council also directed staff to bring forward options for curb mode installation and additional street lights during next year’s budget deliberations.

RCMP respond to pepper-spray attack ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk says, on average, the local detachment deals with one bear and/or pepper spray complaint a week. Shortly after 5 p.m.

Sunday, officers were alerted to a report of a group of five people using pepper spray at random on other people in the 3600 block of 27th Avenue. “The group included three men and two women,” said

Molendyk. “Our members attended and took four people into custody for an assault investigation.” All of the suspects were identified and released from custody, except for one 17-yearold male who was

arrested on outstanding warrants out of Nanaimo. Molendyk said the victims in this case fled the scene and were not located.

Are You Taking Care of Your Shoulder Pain? Discover a New Option.

DR. RYAN HARRIS

Therapy, the only therapy I found to get rid of my pain and heal my injury. Shockwave, developed to break up kidney stones, can break down scar tissue and stimulate new blood vessel growth, promoting proper muscle function and restarting the healing process.

It is in those injuries that have lingered for months or years where shockwave shines. If you have chronic shoulder injuries, don’t give up hope. If I had, I would not be in practice today.

Glenmore Chiropractic

Most therapies have an affect only on new injuries that are days to weeks old. Once scar tissue forms and healing stops (chronic), we are at the mercy of the injury. Over and over in my practice I hear, “I have been dealing with this injury for months or years and tried everything. Nothing has worked… what do I do?”

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association 2005, shockwave therapy had a 91% success rate for the treatment of calcific Rotator Cuff Tendonitis. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

I tell them about the tennis elbow and shoulder tendonitis I had, both of which nearly caused me to shut down my practice. I talk about the multitude of therapies I tried to no avail. Then I talk about Shockwave

Dirty Foggy Windows

Many homes built between the late 70s and the early 90s experience sealed unit failure. Unit failure leads to condensation forming between the two layers of glass causing them to steam and fog up.

Is There a Solution?

Yes, the only real solution is to replace the sealed unit. You only need to replace the glass not the frame which means it can be done easily with a minimum amount of disruption.

Shoulder aches and pains are common, but because our arms seldom get a rest, these aches often become chronic injuries: knots, spasms, frozen shoulder and tendonitis. Many of us learn to live with it and think, “It’s a part of my lifestyle or job”. Many of us have had chronic tendonitis, making it difficult to lift a carton of milk or wash our hair. And many of us have exhausted a variety of therapies.

Survey says...

t’s not uncommon to hear businesspeople, and particularly developers, complain about the bureaucratic hoops they jump through. But the latest City of Vernon customer satisfaction survey indicates that public perception may be changing. “When asked about overall satisfaction with the service received from staff, 90 per cent were satisfied or very satisfied and 10 per cent were unsatisfied,” said Kim Flick, Vernon’s director of community development, in a report to council. “Seventy per cent indicated they would recommend doing business Richard Rolke in Vernon with others in the development industry. Ten per cent would not.” Now before I go any further, it should be noted that of the hundreds of surveys handed out with every development application, only 10 have been returned since the start of 2014. The sampling is extremely small and may lead some to question the validity of the results. But even though most developers haven’t taken the time to fill out the survey, the process indicates that progress is being made at city hall. “When asked how their experience in Vernon compared with similar projects in other jurisdictions, 30 per cent indicated it was similar or OK, 10 per cent said it was superior and 10 per cent said it took longer,” said Flick in her report. Specific questions were asked, including if their application met the timelines city staff told them to expect. Seventy per cent agreed or strongly agreed while the remaining 30 per cent were neutral, disagreed or didn’t answer. There were exactly the same results about receiving callbacks or responses to enquiries within 24 hours.

BEyond thE hEAdlinES

Ninety per cent of the respondents agreed that city staff were courteous and helpful while 10 per cent disagreed. It was a similar breakdown when asked if staff provided sufficient information about the application process. Beyond just backpatting, the survey provides the city with opportunities to continue to improve customer service. Among the ways suggested by survey participants are treating citizens respectfully, onsite meetings with applicants to see what is proposed, ensuring costs are noted on the city website, providing a contact name and number online for basic inquiries, speeding up the approval process further and reducing application and processing costs for affordable housing. Now there is no question that getting a development permit approved can drag, but that’s not necessarily the fault of city staff. Their hands are often tied by legislated timelines, including requirements for referrals to various agencies, including provincial ministries, which don’t always move that quickly. Getting public input can also stretch out, particularly if the proposed land use is contentious. There is also the reality that municipal staff are only human and can only take on so much work before they go cross-eyed. Unless there is a sudden hiring spree at taxpayers’ expense, then developers must rely on the existing resources. Obviously there is always room for improvement and there will be the occasional civil servant who is having a bad day or isn’t necessarily a people person. But the customer satisfaction survey, even with the limited responses, shows that city planners are being responsive. Now if businesspeople would only reciprocate and actually fill out those feedback surveys so the bureaucratic wheels are sped up even further.

Chill, minor hockey parents, just chill. It’s that time of year again, when arenas fill with the sounds of our national game. Unfortunately, not all the sounds we hear in the rinks come from the ice. Most minor hockey parents get it. They are there to support their children, and his/her teammates, in a positive way. There are some, however, who need to re-think why they are at the rink. It’s better now, for sure. We are more educated about the harm that can be done by bullies and loudmouths. Our coaches and volunteers go through more rigorous background checks. And the Internet, with its ability to share videos, has a policing effect too. Still there are some in the crowd who believe their kid is going to make the NHL. Or the Western Hockey League. Or get a scholarship. The odds of a minor hockey player in this country making the NHL are worse than one in 4,000, according to research done recently in Ontario, where almost half of Canada’s minor hockey players reside. It’s OK to chase a dream. As long as it’s the kid’s dream. And it can happen. Once a parent looks past the almost ridiculous notion of an endgame that includes riches or a free education, the real advantages of playing minor hockey become more apparent. There is teamwork and loyalty to be learned. These kids also learn how to behave in restaurants and hotels. They also look great in suits. They are taught that nothing comes without hard work and commitment. They learn there are ramifications for poor behaviour. In short, they learn life lessons they will be able to use off the ice their entire lives, while also learning how to play a game they can play their entire lives. It’s the best game in the world. At the minor hockey level, let’s keep it in perspective. Parksville Qualicum News

ack on Feb. 7, Gyula Kiss wrote you a letter outlining the area water plan history. After reading this, I thought to myself that some of what he said must be wrong. Nobody in their right mind would be stupid enough to change the plan we had in 2002 and 2004. Well guess what - $70 million more and counting and what have we really got? Mr. Kiss, you are a voice crying in the wilderness. You have known and stated all along the mess that's become of our present water plan but nobody was or is listening to you. What a shame on us. It's now quite plain to me, and I hope to a lot of other people, that since 2004,

Cosens Bay Re: Park road is a safety issue Alice Klim has been pushing to have the Cosens Bay Road brought up to her expected standards as long as I have lived here (1999). Everyone who bought, built and moved to the Cosens Bay cottages was well aware of the condition of the gravel road through Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. Anywhere in Canada that I've ever been to or lived, cottage roads were just that, roads built and maintained for seasonal use, i.e. intended for summer access. As far as safety is concerned, if it gets too icy, you stay off the roads. And if one absolutely has to go out or get in one, make sure that one's vehicle and the driver are up to the task. It's just common sense. Furthermore, why should thousands and thousands of visitors to Kal Park have to put up with yet more traffic that will follow as sure as day follows night? Lets keep Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park as intended, a park. It's bad enough that we have excessive boat traffic on Kalamalka Lake. We don't need more traffic going to the Cosens Bay cottages using the park as just one more highway. Hans-Joerg Mueller

pellet plant I am part of the group opposed to the pellet plant. After the end of the public hearing, Coldstream council voted 4-3 in favour of the plant. I would like to thank Councillors Richard Enns, Doug Dirk and Gyula Kiss for listening to the residents concerns. These three councillors spoke as to why they had made their decisions. Councillors Maria Besso and Peter McClean declined to comment on their decision. Councillor Pat Cochrane did and it was such a shock to hear him speak, I cannot remember what he said. During the 10 hours of this public hearing, he has not asked one question. Mayor Jim Garlick talked about trust with the applicant. What about the trust the residents placed in council to listen to our concerns and act on them? Mary Malerby changed her opinion on the Spicer Block application after 660 signatures were presented on a petition. More than 550 signatures were presented to council. How many do they need? Pinnacle will only be paying a portion of its taxes for 10 years, (about $5,000). After that, it will be $26,000. Now we weigh health versus the almighty dollar.

people with the hope they would use their God-given common sense to run this

I wonder what monetary value Mayor Garlick and Councillors Cochrane, Besso and McClean would put on the health or even life of their children? I know for all of us that are opposed, it is priceless. Ruth Moore westside Road On Aug. 20, there was an informative report on a north and central Okanagan traffic services road block. It was on the Vernon end of Westside Road. This showed the despicable attitude of many drivers with which we share the roadways. This is frightening. My only objection is the editorial staff allowed another two slams against Westside Road. It was totally uncalled for in this report. I have been driving this road both north and south for 15 years and I find no real basis for these specific slurs. Carl dickson youtH Ah youth. Remember as a kid how often you wished you were a little bit older? If I were a year older, I could play with the guys next door. If I were two years older, I could beat the crap out of the bully down the street who

is always picking on me. If I were a few years older, I could play hockey and baseball. If I were a few years older, I could join the navy and see the world. Youth is fleeting as the saying goes. Soon you are saying, "I wish I were 10 years younger so I could ask the gorgeous blonde at the lunch counter for a date." If I were a few years younger, I could continue curling and quaffing a few beers with my buddies at the pub. If I were a few years younger, without all of these aches and pains, I could still enjoy fishing and hiking. Folks, my suggestion is to enjoy every day as best as you can, because surely, every beat of your heart since birth is one less in your allotted time on earth. patrick nicholas sCooteR opeRatoR Having a scooter is a God-send for me as I have mobility issues.

fabulous place we live in with a modicum of intelligence at least. What's wrong with this picture? Let's start with the next two elections civic and federal. Try and elect people with the guts to make the hard decisions, which they won't be afraid to voice loud and clear, are truthful and honest, not prone to spindoctoring and never use the phrase, "We're working on it," write all of their own material and tell it like it is, and not be afraid to rock the boat. Let's hope that some people like that run for office and that we have the good sense to know who they are and elect them. J.V.

Ina Forrest has to make more room in her trophy case. The Spallumcheen Paralympian was named best female athlete Saturday at the 2014 Canadian Paralympic Sport Awards ceremony in Toronto. Forrest used her trademark accuracy and mental focus in her position as third to help Canada win the wheelchair curling gold medal in Sochi. Forrest also won wheelchair curling Paralympic gold in Ina Forrest Vancouver 2010. “This really is more of a team award,” said Forrest to paralympic.ca. “Although it ultimately comes down to throwing the rock, there is a lot of team effort that goes in to it before that happens. I have tremendous teammates and staff, and everything is there to make the athletes play the very best they can be.” Athletes in para-alpine skiing, para-Nordic ski-

ing and wheelchair curling took centre stage today as stars of the Sochi 2014 Canadian Paralympic team and the broader Canadian Paralympic movement were honoured at the ceremony. The Paralympic Sport Awards celebrate top athletes, recognizing their achievements from the most recent Paralympic Games, in addition to honouring and recognizing the contribution of coaches. “There were so many outstanding performances in Sochi and plenty of deserving athletes and coaches for these awards,” said Gaétan Tardif, president of the Canadian Paralympic committee. “I’d like to congratulate today’s recipients as well as the entire Canadian Paralympic team for an outstanding performance in Sochi.” The Canadian Paralympic Team placed third in the gold medal count in Sochi with 16 medals – seven gold, two silver and seven bronze. Forrest, Vernon’s Sonja Gaudet and the Canadian wheelchair curling team won the award for Best Team Performance. The team won its third straight Paralympic Games gold medal.

It’s time to start boning up on your hockey knowledge, your Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers rosters, and which Canadian-based NHL team you think will end up with the most points. Yes, The Morning Star has entered the world of hockey pools. “We’re launching our first online hockey pool contest,” said publisher Ian Jensen. “It’s open to everyone 19 and over, to hockey fans and nonhockey fans.” Visit www.vernonmorningstar.com and click on the contests tab.

tab, and you’ll be directed to the site to register your team. The pool consists of 26 boxes. You pick one player or team from each box to fill out your team’s roster. Categories include forwards and defencemen, whose total points will be tallied. There are also boxes made up of players from only the Canucks, Flames and Oilers to choose from, and there’s also a box featuring the seven Canadian teams.

Pick the one you think will end up with the most points based on wins and losses. Teams get two points for a win, one point for a shutout and you get a negative point if your team loses in regulation, overtime or in a shootout. The grand prize to the winner is a bigscreen television. Second prize is a recliner and third prize is a sound bar for surround sound. All three of the main

prizes have been donated by City Furniture. There will be weekly prizes for the top pointgetter of the week and there is also a special category in The Morning Star pool: Beat The Expert. “This features our resident NHL expert, sports editor Kevin Mitchell, so everybody should have a good chance,” laughed Jensen. All entries who end up with more points than Mitchell will be entered into a draw for a prize. There will be three trades allowed per team during the NHL’s allstar break in January. The entry deadline is 4 p.m., Oct. 8, which is the start of the NHL’s regular season. Partial standings

A Vernon man arrested last week in connection with a string of motor vehicle thefts has been given jail time. Timothy James Ross, 20, was sentenced in Vernon Provincial Court to 117 days in jail for three counts of theft of motor vehicles. He was also found guilty of a fourth count of theft of motor vehicle and was sentenced to 45 days

in jail. The judge, however, ordered that the term be served concurrent with the other charges. Ross was also ordered to pay four, $100 victim surcharge amounts and was given 12-months probation upon his release from prison. A second man was arrested with Ross and is facing a charge of possession of stolen property. His matter is still before the court and he remains in custody.

RCMP officers will be checking this week for speeding motorists in school zones. “Are they going to be in every school zone? Not likely,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “But you never know when they will be there.” Speed limits are reduced to 30 km/hour in school zones from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday, while schools are in session. School buses, of course, are on the road and police remind motorists to use caution around the big yellow vehicles. “You must stop for school buses when their red lights are flashing,” said Molendyk. “Be careful about kids crossing the roads for the buses.”

Vernon opens its doors to culture There’s a ton of local events happening this weekend to celebrate Culture Days Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Greater Vernon is getting on the cultural bandwagon this week as Culture Days takes place around the country. A number of local community arts and cultural organizations have registered with the Canada-wide celebration in hosting free events all weekend long, starting Friday. The Vernon Community Arts Centre, which is operated by the Arts Council of the North Okanagan (ACNO), will be a hub of activity during Culture Days. The ACNO has a membership that includes 26 arts and culture groups including potters, painters, photographers, rock hounds, wood carvers, actors, dancers, musicians and others. Many of these groups will have literature about their organizations available for the public to look at in the lobby of the VCAC during Culture Days. There will also be free drop-in sessions and demonstrations at the centre, located at the east entrance to Polson Park (behind the Okanagan Science Centre.) “The ACNO strongly supports all our local organizations initiatives in promoting arts and culture for everyone,” said April Sheehan, with the council. Those who wish to drop in to the VCAC’s clay and painting studios can do so Friday to Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., while the glass studio will be holding a free drop-in and glass fusing demo, where participants can make a plate, Friday from 1:30 to 4 p.m. (Cost to participate in the glass fusing is $11 plus tax to cover materials.) Local guitarist Manfred Harter will provide background music to those who have dropped by to paint or draw, Saturday from 9:30 to 11 a.m. The Vernon Lapidary and Mineral Club will be demonstrating to the public how they work with rocks and will answer questions from the public, Friday and Saturday, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the VCAC.

After bisquing, the pottery is heated to about 1650 degrees Fahrenheit, 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, resulting in a beautiful, but not food safe finish. And there’s more... Over at the Vernon Public Art Gallery, a poetry reading, artist talk and open discussion will take place Friday at 7 p.m. The discussion revolves around the VPAG’s current exhibitions, Decolonize Me and PUTI KwALA Okanagan (We Are Still Here) by the Kama? Aboriginal Arts Collective. It features Margo Tamez, assistant professor of Indigenous studies at UBC

Okanagan, Mariel Belanger (Syilx) and Garry Gottfriedson (Secwepemc), who will share poetry and thoughts on the current state of First Nations peoples in Canada and B.C. “As a poet, Indigenous rights activist, and scholar, I feel deeply connected to the subject matter being addressed by these artists, and as a Lipan Apache residing in the unseeded Okanagan territory, these artists are teaching me a history that has been hidden from society,” said Tamez. “I’m deeply connected to these ideas and have deep respect for the materials that these artists are utilizing to foreground sensitive and diverse messages.” The artist talk features Yellowknife artist Nigit’stil Norbert, one of the artists featured in Decolonize Me, who is from Yellowknife and will speak on her contributions to the exhibition. The event is open to the public with admission by donation. Light refreshments,

coffee and tea will be served. The VPAG is also hosting a free Family Days workshop on Aboriginal dot painting, open to children ages five and up and their parents, Saturday at 1 p.m. All materials will be supplied. The Vernon Performing Arts Centre and Vernon library are hosting the inaugural BookSmack in the Performing Arts Centre’s lobby Friday at 7 p.m. It features author/poets John Lent and Laisha Rosnau, storyteller Gabe Newman, and librarians Kristy Hennings and Stephanie Volick, who will speed review as many books and films as they can. Each smacker has 10 minutes to pitch each item, and audience participation is encouraged. The Greater Vernon Museum and Archives is hosting a free family friendly event, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Participants can search the museum displays to find the artifacts that do not belong, then exercise their creative sides at the museum’s craft stations. Draws are also taking place throughout the two days. Those curious on what is happening with the Greater Vernon Cultural Plan can get the details at an open house to be held Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Village Green Centre. The Caetani Cultural Centre is getting in on the action with a free concert and the last event of its summer music series, featuring Vernon trio The Creeks, Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. Bring a blanket, folding chair, and a picnic to enjoy a relaxing afternoon of music. A selection of refreshments will be available for purchase and admission is by donation. And not to be forgotten is the Allan Brooks Nature Society, who along with the City of Vernon and the RDNO will not only be celebrating Culture Days but B.C. Rivers Day, Sunday at Polson Park. There will be family activities, live music, entertainment and live demos by the Vernon Fire Zone, Vernon Search and Rescue as well as the Kal Fly Fishers, plus Smoky the Bear will be saying hello to all the kids. More info on all registered Culture Days activities throughout the country can be found at www.culturedays.ca.

Getting to know: Ben Click aniKo Forgo

Special to The Morning Star

en Click is an 18-year-old country singer/songwriter from West Kelowna. He was a finalist in the 2013 Our Kids Have Talent competition in Vernon, and has since been playing around the Okanagan. Besides performing, he builds guitars and built his first guitar, which he named “Blisters,” when he was 14 years old. Q: How did you get your start in music? A: “I got my start in music at an early age. I got my first guitar when I was five years old for Christmas. Over the past 12 years, the love I have for playing, performing, and writing music continues to grow. Last year, I involved myself with festivals, competitions, and various other gigs in and around the Okanagan. This year, I’m applying for opportunities outside of Kelowna and the Okanagan.” Q: What is your favourite part of doing live perfor-

mances? A: “My favourite part about live performances is definitely the crowd. When I perform, I get a lot of my energy from crowd reaction and response. If a crowd starts clapping to the beat, or I see someone singing along with me, I feel my performance gets a lot stronger. When you can connect to an audience, by either telling stories, or singing a song that they recognize or means something to them, and having them approach you after and have a conversation, those are the things that drive me every time I perform.” Q: If you were the CEO of a record label, what would you name the record label? A: “I’d name the record label Big Break Records.” Q: If we looked through your iPod, what songs might we find? A: “On my iPod, I have a variety of music. I have myself on there from when I was 10 and recorded cover songs of

Canadian folk band Great Big Sea, to now having recorded my first EP of original songs. Q: I read that you sometimes build your own guitars. What is that experience like? A: “Building guitars is a very long process Designing, the math component involved in fret spacing, computer work, then actually starting to build the instrument itself is very time consuming. I built my first guitar in my Grade 9 woodshop class in middle school. We were supposed to build a chair, table, and bowl, but instead of the table and bowl, I asked if I could build a guitar. From that, I just finished building my third guitar and I’m working on building a ukulele in my senior year of high school. At shows, having a custom, hand-built guitar is a great conversation starter and story. I’ve built a Stratocaster, semi-hollow body Les Paul, and a semi-hollow body Telecaster.”

For The Morning Star

Get ready to take a trip back in time as Swing Patrol plays the Vernon Jazz Club stage this Saturday night. The band will be performing favourites from the ‘30s and ‘40s including Choo Ch’Boogie (Louis Jordan), Air Mail Special (Benny Goodman), Honeysuckle Rose (Fats Waller), and It Don’t Mean a Thing (Duke Ellington). Swing Patrol is Scott Robertson (leader and drummer), Glen Tremblay (trumpet and vocals), Ben Henriques (sax and clarinet), Ron Thompson (guitar), and Brent Gubbels (bass). Robertson is an active working band leader, drummer, teacher, and clinician who is the front man for this band as well as the Scott Robertson Trio. He has released two albums, Swing Patrol and No Expiry Date. “Swing Patrol is inspired by my father, Morris Robertson,” he said. “While my dad was never a musician, he taught me to love the swing era.” Roberston grew up listening to his father’s big band music collection on vinyl. His father was a transport sergeant for the Canadian army. Growing up, Robertson particularly loved the stories of how his father would shuttle the Canadian Auxiliary Services orchestra around Europe. “One incarnation of that orchestra was called Swing Patrol. The new Swing Patrol name is a nod to my father and the musicians he worked with during the Second World War.” Robertson was also influenced by a former drum teacher who was a student of Joe Morello and played with the Dave Brubeck Quartet. “Because of his influence, I was listening to Dave Brubeck Quartet recordings when I was in my teens. I was drawn in by the way he could play time and swing,” said Robertson. Also a pipe band drumming teacher and judge, Robertson leads workshops across Canada and the western U.S. He is a triple A judge for the B.C. Pipers Association and judges pipe band competitions throughout the Lower Mainland,

Everyone’s favourite ogre is about to come to life on the local stage. The Vernon Community Music School’s Lights of Broadway has received the rights to present the slightly-twisted, fun-filled, and family-friendly Shrek The Musical for its 15th season. Based on the 2001 DreamWorks film Shrek and William Steig’s 1990 book Shrek!, it will be presented at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre May 8 and 9. “The Fantasy Kingdom of Far, Far, Away will be brought to life with everyone’s favourite characters including our swamp dwelling ogre, his chatterbox donkey, a slightly temperamental princess and the villain Farquaad, who we will say is in short supply,” said Charity Van Gameren, who serves as director and musical director for the show, along with chorographer Cherise McInnis and acting coach Sarah Mori Jones. “The musical features 19 new songs and dance numbers that will have audiences laughing and enjoying the journey through the dragon’s castle and where the Three Blind Mice channel their inner Dreamgirls. Every fairytale character comes to life in May. Mark it on your calendar for a notto-miss show in the spring.”

Boyhood

oyhood, the latest and perhaps greatest film

from selftaught, indie guru Richard Linklater (School of Rock, A Scanner Brian Taylor Darkly) is an unremarkable tale, told in an extremely unique fashion. Filmed over 12 years with the same actors, Boyhood tells the saga of Mason (Ellar Coltrane) from the ages of six to 18. Every couple of years, the filmmakers would gather together the cast of characters to film the next instalment. We get to watch Mason grow up and change as he does, along with his sister (Linklater’s daughter Lorelei) and their parents, played by Patricia Arquette and Ethan Hawke. Being filmed over such a long period of time creates a fascinating time capsule approach to the film and the fact that Linklater was able to

Mason (Ellar Coltrane) at three different ages in Boyhood. produce the film for $2.4 million is commendable. However, the film, like life, meanders all over the place, with subtle highs and meagre lows. It’s not that the film is exactly dull, but I kept waiting for something to happen that never came. Mom (Arquette), at one point near what would normally be the climax of the story, points out to her son as he is about to leave home that she “thought there would be more, you know?” She’s referring to

her own life and it’s lack of “something special” in it. I think the same could be said of the film. There’s not anything wrong with the film, it is artistically and technically well executed. The soundtrack, as usual for a Linklater film, is rich and poignant. The maturation of the characters as the film plods along provides an interesting vehicle for a rather pedestrian plot. It seems to have been enough for audiences and

other film reviewers, Boyhood scores high. But I think I’ve already seen this film, in the mirror, stretched over a longer period of time. Highlights of my childhood would have seemed very similar, perhaps even more dramatic. So I applaud the film’s brave methodology, I just wish Mason’s boyhood had been a little more interesting. – I give Boyhood 3 stars out of 5. The film is currently playing at Vernon’s Towne Cinema.

Just click on this country artist Continued from A12 Q: How many guitars do you own? A: “I own four acoustic guitars and five electric guitars, one six-string banjo (banjitar), a bodhran, which is a Celtic style drum, and will own a ukulele by the end of the school year when I finish building it. So I currently own 10.” Q: Is there any instrument that you don’t know how to play but you’d like to learn? A: “I would love to

learn how to play the drums, piano, fiddle, banjo, and mandolin. Basically anything with strings.” Q: Do you have any influences? Who are they? A: “My influences are Great Big Sea, Brad Paisley and Keith Urban.” Q: If you had the opportunity to film a music video, what would it be about and what would be happening in it? A: “In a music

video, I would choose my song Play and the video would be about following your dreams. I would have a story line of my journey up until now, mimicking the lyrics of the song, and when the chorus comes, I’d have me on a stage looking out over a stadium full of people.” Q: When do you feel completely satisfied with your work?

Poets launch first books Vertigo Voices starts its reading series at Gallery Vertigo Thursday Morning Star Staff

Two poets will be launching their first collections of poetry at the first Vertigo Voices reading of the fall season, Thursday. Derrick Denholm is an award winningvisual artist and musician who lives and works in the forests of Northern B.C. His first Derrick Denholm book, Dead S a l m o n Dialectics, draws on scientific studies of salmon recycling in rainforests. The book follows the dark and often humorous trial of a young biologist at work in the wildest estuaries of the rainiest place on earth. Written for the 25th anniversary of the historic Lyell Island logging blockades on Xaaydaa Gwaay, these poems are filled with rotting carcasses, swirls of phosphorescent algae, rain, night-fishing bears, local sled-neck debutantes, raven song, and near misses by giant falling trees. Dead Salmon Dialectics is an interdisciplinary experiment that sets the visceral beauty of the coastal rainforest against the realities of hard sci-

ence, technology and philosophy. Joining Denholm will be Aaron Giovannone. Originally from Ontario, Giovannone has recently moved to the Okanagan to teach at Okanagan College. He is releasing his first full collection, The Loneliness Machine. Part meditation, part confession, and part comedy, The Loneliness Machine is a strikingly new rendition of the trope of the suffering artist that takes dramatic risks and rarely fails to charm. “At Vertigo Voices we love helping to launch brand new books into the literary landscape,” said Vertigo Voices organizer and co-host Laisha Rosnau. “We’re looking forward to these two books – Dead Salmon Dialectics and The Loneliness Machine – because both authors have been creating really interesting work for a few years. To see the work come together in first collections is exciting as a reader and member of the literary community.” Rosnau and her co-host, Kevin McPherson, invite everyone who is interested in literature, poetry, and cultural community to attend the first Vertigo Voices reading of the fall season. “Above all, even if we’re exploring hefty ideas, we make the readings accessible and fun,” said Rosnau. Doors to Thursday’s event open at 7 p.m. and readings begin at 7:30 p.m. at Gallery Vertigo, 3001 31st St. #1 upstairs. All are welcome, by donation. For more information, call (250) 503-2297.

AnitA LAbeLLe Special to The Morning Star

Jennifer’s face lights up with a beautiful grin when I walk through the doors at Vernon Teach and Learn. She stops working for a moment and says, “I’m at work… but I’m loving it! Is that normal?” For Jennifer, this is an honest question. Although she handed out resumes for years, and had many interviews, she was never offered an ongoing paid position until she applied at Vernon Teach and Learn this June. “Sometimes people don’t want to hire people with disabilities,” she said. “And people notice that I have a disability, even though I don’t always see it myself.” With September being Disability Employment Month in B.C., which is part of the provincial government’s plan to make “B.C. the most progressive place for people with disabilities in Canada by 2024,” Jennifer is proud she is working. She pins her Vernon Teach and Learn nametag to her shirt and takes me on a walk through the store. She points out the work she does, from cleaning to stocking to pricing, and gets excited about the Halloween loot bags she is stuffing for kids this October. But her favourite part about the job? “My employers,” she said without hesitation. “They respect their employees. They value and appreciate them.” Vernon Teach & Learn owners Lynella and Trevor Henke say Jennifer’s personality makes this easy.

“It’s nice how happy she is about coming to work all the time,” said Lynella. “And she does a good job — she takes pride in the work she’s done.” Overall, Lynella and Jennifer agree that finding a job was about finding the right fit, which for Jennifer meant one with routine and thorough explanation. A job coach from Community Futures helped make the employment match; the only accommodation necessary to make the fit perfect for Jennifer’s style of working and learning? A whiteboard in the staff kitchen, with daily tasks listed, so Jennifer can check them off as she completes them each day.

“I know how it feels to think you can’t get a job. But it is possible. There is hope.” — Jennifer

“I love my routine,” she said with that same bright smile, as she checks another task from her list. “Now that I’m working I feel a lot better about myself.” During her years spent looking for work, Jennifer says she didn’t always feel so good, and admits there were times she wanted to give up. “I felt like people were better than me because they were working and I wasn’t,” she said, with some hesitation. “I felt like I was only good enough to volunteer.”

And volunteer she did, reliably, with great references, for six years. Family, friends, and community groups kept her going in her job search, with limitless support coming from the mentor she lives with. “She gave me the strength to keep going,” Jennifer said, with gratitude. “She believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself.” Today, with Disability Employment Month on her mind, Jennifer shares her story hoping it helps someone else. In B.C., the employment rate for people with disabilities (aged 15 to 64 years) is 18 percentage points lower than for people without disabilities. “If people like me who have a disability are looking for work, maybe they can read my story and know there is hope out there,” said Jennifer. “I know how it feels to think you can’t get a job, because I’ve been there. I know you can want to give up, because I did. But it is possible. There is hope.” Anita Labelle is an employment advisor with Community Futures, where she helps people with disabilities and barriers to employment find work. People with disabilities seeking employment, or businesses looking to hire people with disabilities, can access Community Futures WorkBC Employment Services Centres. The Employment Program of British Columbia is funded by the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia.

Michelle McBeth strikes a pose at the Canadian Bodybuilding Federation’s national championships in Edmonton recently, where she placed third.

Striking the right balance Morning Star Staff

Michelle McBeth has come a long way from the day she tipped the scales at 180 pounds after the birth of her third child. The Vernon mom of three sons placed third in open women’s physique and third in master’s women’s physique at the Canadian Bodybuilding Federation’s National Championships recently. A few weeks later, she flew out to Pittsburgh, Pa., where she placed eighth in North America in her category. “It’s been such a journey and it’s so incredible to know that age does not have to be a factor,” said McBeth, 43. “Finding balance between real life and competition life has been a challenge but I’m managing.” McBeth’s disciplined approach to diet and training has paid off, and while her meals generally consist of a

lot of protein and complex cards, she does admit to an occasional indulgence in a sweet treat. “I’d like to thank Fitness West and its staff as well as members, all of whom have been incredibly supportive, and I thank them for that,” said McBeth, who credits her coach, Dawn Alison with Team Fit Body in Surrey for helping her take her training to the next level. Next year, McBeth heads to nationals in Halifax, where she will compete to get her pro card. She has also qualified for the Arnold Schwarzenegger amateurs in Columbus, Ohio. “What a ride it’s been.” Her next step is to present a motivational goal-setting seminar to help others begin their own journey. If anyone is interested in taking part or for more information, please e-mail McBeth at mich33mcb@hotmail.com

Hot, peppered gifts

utumn is a great time to be preparing homemade gifts for family and friends. Pepper jellies, antipastos, salsas, chutneys, among so many other favourites, make the perfect gifts for teachers, neighbours, work colleagues or house guests. Today I’m offering two wonderful pepper jelly recipes; both not only taste delicious on a cracker with a little cream cheese, but work well as a glaze on chicken and other meats. The first recipe makes a golden jelly with colourful suspended fruit and vegetables. Serve it with cheese or melt it onto grilled or sautéed dishes to add flavour highlights. Christmas Pepper Jelly 1/3 cup finely sliced dried apricots 3/4 cup white or white wine vinegar 1/4 cup finely diced seeded sweet red pepper 1/4 cup finely diced red onion 1/4 cup finely diced green chili peppers, including seeds (hot or sweet) 3 cups sugar 1 pouch Bernardin Liquid Pectin With scissors or knife, cut apricots into 1/8 inch slices. Measure into large deep stainless steel saucepan with vinegar; let stand four hours. Add diced red peppers, red onion and green peppers to apricots. Stir in sugar. Over high heat, bring mixture to full rolling boil that can’t be stirred down. Add liquid pectin, squeezing entire contents from pouch. Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly.

DRIVE UP & DROP OFF YOUR DONATION OF CLOTHING AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS WHEN CUSTOMERS CHOOSE TO DONATE THEIR CLOTHING AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS, THE IMPACT IS FELT AROUND THE WORLD. Not only do donations of clothing and household items benefit worthy nonprofits such as the Canadian Diabetes Association and the people they serve…they also benefit the community and planet earth. The Canadian Diabetes Association is a nonprofit organization that helps lead the fight against diabetes by helping people with diabetes live healthy lives as researchers work to find a cure. For over 60 years the Vernon community has generously supported the Canadian Diabetes Association, but given the recent economic state, contributing financially is proving to be more and more difficult for many residents. Through their unique partnership with Value Village thrift stores in the Vernon area, the Canadian Diabetes Association is able to continue their valuable mission despite the economic crunch. Now customers can support this worthwhile organization simply by donating their gently-used clothing and household items. DONATE A LITTLE, DO A LOT For nearly 60 years, Value Village has built a bridge between donors…people who choose to give their goods a second life by donating them instead of throwing them away, and thrift shoppers…people who see the value in purchasing used goods. Ultimately, this union benefits nonprofits like the Canadian Diabetes Association as well as the planet. In fact, every year Value Village provides vital

funding to more than 155 nonprofit organizations across the globe and helps to keep over 650 million pounds of reusable items out of landfills. DRIVE UP & DROP OFF In order to make supporting your favorite nonprofit organization even easier, Value Village has opened a new Donation Drop Spot in the Vernon Square Shopping Center in front of London Drugs on 32nd Street. The new attended Drop Spot location makes for a fast, friendly, and convenient donation experience. The community can also donate at any Value Village location – or directly to any one of their nonprofit partners. To find a convenient donation location near you, or to schedule a home pick-up, visit valuevillage.com.

News Green candidate meets the public Morning Star Staff

The Green Party is ready for the next federal election in Okanagan-Shuswap. Vernon’s Dave Smith has been acclaimed as the party’s candidate after Chris George, of the North Shuswap, withdrew from the race for personal reasons. “The nomination meetings will proceed to meet the candidate meetings,” said Greig Crockett, with the party. The sessions will be today Dave Smith at 7 p.m. at the Intermission Restaurant in Salmon Arm and Friday at 7 p.m. at Vernon’s Schubert Centre. The theme of the two sessions is “Making the transition: Conservative blue to progressive green.” A retired accountant and consultant, Smith has worked 35 years in the forest industry in Lumby, Armstrong and Salmon Arm.

VJH Foundation elects new board Morning Star Staff

A dedicated team of volunteers continues to promote health care in the North Okanagan. The Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation has elected its executive and board of directors for 2014/15. Elise Allan, a lawyer with Nixon Wenger, returns as president, while vice-president is Richard Finn, of Wayside Press, and treasurer is Greg Hamilton, of BDO. Directors include Kevin Arbuckle, Sandra Borden, Michael Concannon, Joanne Kineshanko, Gloria Morgan, Paul Morgan, Wilf Mulder, Greg Mussenden, Dalvir Nahal, Richard Rolke, Nancy Serwo and Gladys Schroeter. “Established as a society in 1981, the foundation raises more than $1 million annually to support health care in the North Okanagan, including residential care facilities, community health services and Vernon Jubilee Hospital,” said Allen. “The foundation is currently raising funds for the Building a Tower of Care Campaign, Phase II to equip and furnish the sixth and seventh floors of the Polson Tower.” Last year, the foundation granted $1,316,211 to health care needs, including $905,914 to Tower of Care, $114,488 to the McMurtry-Baerg Cancer Centre, $79,387 to residential care in Vernon, Armstrong, Enderby and Lumby, $63,676 for operating room equipment, and $47,086 to women’s and children’s health services.

the multi-use path and roadway edge have been finished with a swale added to improve the flow of storm water into the drains. The city will also add concrete curbing on the north edge of the road. It will be rollover curbing to allow for parking except near the top of the road where a high-back curb will be installed to redirect the highest velocity stormwater running off the hill. The remaining boulevard area will remain gravel. When that’s finished, individual property owners will be contacted in regard to the possible placement of trees in the boulevard area. “The above works will improve drainage but will not require any change to the existing infrastructure,” said Enderby chief administrative officer Tate Bengston.

Project impacts traffic Morning Star Staff

Vernon residents are being notified of some changes in traffic patterns. Beginning today and continuing for about four weeks, the City of Vernon will conduct sewer pipe inspections at various locations throughout the city centre. These inspections will take place downtown from 35th Avenue to Highway 6 and from Alexis Park Drive to 28th Street during normal working hours. Alternating singlelane traffic will be in effect during this time and delays may occur.

Training key for skiers Julie Melanson Special to The Morning Star

Winter and thoughts of skiing are a long ways off for many of us, but for junior development athletes and coach Darren Derochie, of the Sovereign Lake Nordic Club, it’s been an exciting summer preparing for the ski season with days sweating it out on the roads and trails. “Summer training is about commitment and focus, but, it’s also about experiencing new challenges, having fun, and building camaraderie,” said Derochie. After a summer of activities, including running, roller skiing, and strength and agility training, Sovereign Lake athletes attended a three-day mountain endurance camp at Illecillewaet in Glacier National Park, led by Derochie and supported by a dedicated group of parents. Rick Latta, a parent that joined the group for the camp, was thoroughly impressed with each and every one of the athletes. “We hiked more than 45 kilometres with more than 3,300 metres of elevation gain in three days. We were rained on every night and each of the girls woke every day with a smile and willingness to make the most of the days hike,” he said. For Latta, the expression on their faces at the top of Abbot Pass, the Perly Rock trail and from the Asulkan Hut, was well worth the work of getting there. “There was not a face without a smile. It was a great culmination to a summer of training.” Sovereign’s junior development program is surging in numbers, and according to Derochie, it’s not just the growing numbers creating excitement. It’s the results as well. Seven athletes were named to provincial squads for the 201415 season: Hannah Mehain (age 16) joins the B.C. Ski Team, both Michelle Metza (15)

train as part of the B.C. Talent Squad. “It is exciting to see so many athletes recognized.” said Derochie, who expects another increase in athlete rec-

ognition next spring. Local families can join in on the training fun with Tuesday club nights at Creekside Park in Coldstream at 5:30 p.m. With as many as 70 participants in the past, club manager and regular participant Scott Lemon invites club members and new enthusiasts of all ages and abilities to come out and join in the action. “It is exciting times for programs at Sovereign Lake,” said Lemon. “Vernon’s Snow Sport Academy is in its inaugural year supporting high-performance high school athletes, our masters programs are stronger than ever, and our children and youth programs continue to grow. It is sure to be another great year for our club and programs.”

Calendar helps spray park Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

Attention photographers! The Enderby Spray Park needs you. That’s the message being sent out as Baron Insurance collects stunning local images to put the local facility back in commission. “Our office gives out calendars every fall, they’re usually stock photos of B.C. and Canada,” said Ryan Boe, of Baron Insurance.

LaureL NeufeLd photo

One of Baron Insurance’s favourite photo submissions so far for the Enderby Spray Park fundraising calendar it is producing. “Lani (Blomquist, local broker) had an idea to make our own in-house calendar, using amateur photos taken by our community.” At about the same time, they came across an article in the Rivertalk paper about Becky Shuert (of Pure Graphics) spear-heading an effort to raise funds for the spray park. “We thought, why not put these calendars together and sell them by donation and then turn this money over to

Becky’s local fundraising effort,” said Boe. Area photographers are asked to submit images from all seasons of Enderby which could earn a spot in the calendar. “We’ve received many beautiful submissions and have been posting them weekly on our Facebook page,” said Boe. “We feel that it’s a fantastic way to showcase the scenery in Enderby and the surrounding area, instilling pride in our commu-

nity, and helping fundraise for a worthy community project.” Submissions can be e-mailed to Blomquist at lblomquist@baroninsurance.com with the photographers name and brief description of the photo and where it was taken. The deadline is Sept. 30. Once the calendar is published (Dec. 1), it will available for sale by donation at Baron Insurance (604 Cliff Ave.) with 100 per cent of the proceeds going to the Enderby Spray Park.

ORL considers increase Morning Star Staff

Increased spending could occur within Okanagan Regional Library. ORL’s finance committee has presented the draft 2015 budget, which includes an overall 1.72 per cent increase. “ The majority of which comes from negotiated wage increases and inflation-

ary items, including mandatory increases to Municipal Pension Plan rates,” said Michele Rule, ORL communications manager. In 2013, the library experienced a surge in program attendance of 12.6 per cent and an

increase in reference transactions (many of which are related to help with ebooks and other devices) of 9.4 per cent. “In response, the budget includes minor service and training improvements related

to programs and staff training on dealing with people who have questions related to technology,” said Rule. The Okanagan Regional Library board will vote on the final budget at its October meeting.

Knights’ PK shines in loss Morning Star Staff

The North Okanagan Knights are getting better despite losing games up for grabs. The Fernie Ghostriders clipped the Knights 3-2 in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League action Saturday night at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. Despite their second straight close loss, Knights’ head coach Jim Armstrong feels like the team is still heading in the right direction. “The guys were disappointed in the loss after the game, but you can see the building blocks are taking shape,” said Armstrong. After getting rocked 11-0 in their season opener to the powerful Osoyoos Coyotes, the Knights have played teams tight; three one-goal games and two overtime nail biters. If there was a bright spot in a pair of weekend defeats, it was the play of goaltender Mitch Profeit and their penalty kill unit. The PK unit was nearly perfect, killing 19 of 20 powerplays. “We need to control ourselves more and be more disciplined. Sooner or later, taking that many penalties is gonna come back and bite us,” said Armstrong. Profeit has been peppered this season, facing an average of 34.5 shots per game. Who knows where the Knights would be without his steadiness early on. “When you take all these penalties, you need your goalie to bail us out with a big save, and that’s exactly what he has done. He has been outstanding,” said Armstrong. Derek Georgopoulos scored for the 3-1 Ghostriders halfway through the first, from Aidan Geiger and Tyler Rebelato. Josh McCulloch sniped Fernie’s second goal 12:44 into the second from Dustin Watt and Justin Peers bagged the winner from Dylan Robertson and Cavin Tilsley with two minutes remaining in the second. Armstrong says that it’s on his guys to get in the shooting lanes and block more shots. He also has noticed that the shots they are giving up, are more towards the outside and not near the scoring areas. Mitchell Lukacs sniped his second goal of the season 6:32 into the first from Logan Geefs and Austin Fournier on the powerplay. Geefs added another powerplay tally with five minutes remaining in the second from Austin Garrington. It is a short rest week for the 1-2-0-1 Knights as they get set to battle the 3-1 Summerland Steam tonight at the Nor-Val Sports Centre.

Vipers lose in overtime EMANUEL SEQUEIRA For The Morning Star

CHILLIWACK — The Vernon Vipers gained a point by losing 5-4 in overtime to the Victoria Grizzlies Saturday afternoon in B.C. Hockey League Bauer Showcase action at Prospera Centre. That was pretty much the only positive the Vipers were taking from Game 2 of the regular season. “I thought we were absolutely terrible today,” said Viper interim head coach Kevin Kraus. “I don’t know, maybe they were tired. The work ethic wasn’t there. We were just throwing pucks away to throw pucks away. We didn’t make smart passes, we didn’t want to move our feet.” The Vipers had a 3-1 first-period lead on goals by Anthony Latina, Liam Coughlin and Trevor Fidler. Kevin Massy had a powerplay snipe for Victoria. Then things began to fall apart. Garrett Forster got the Grizzlies within a goal with the only tally of the second period. Brett Gruber used the powerplay to even the game at three five minutes into the third. Forster then put the Grizzlies ahead with a shorthanded tally two minutes later. “I think we let up. We were in the driver’s seat for a couple of periods,” said Latina. “When you do that, they have momentum. “I think they were just relentless on the forecheck. They were causing us to turn over pucks. They’ve got big bodies and they were throwing them around. We were on our heels a little bit there.” Latina forced overtime with 76 seconds left when he crashed the Grizzlies’ net forcing the puck in past Michael Stiliadis, who was the Top Goalie in the 2014 Royal Bank Cup with the

Dauphin Kings. Latina played in the RBC final with the Carleton Place Canadians. Nearly four minutes into the four-on-four extra frame, Mitch Meek potted the winner on a mistake by the Vipers. “We just let them run all over us,” said Kraus. Latina, who scored twice and added an assist against the Grizzlies, agreed their performance was a contrast from their victory against the Cowichan Valley Capitals the night before. He said they were high on themselves and it was visible. The Vipers’ powerplay was a non-factor again, going 0-for-7, while the Grizzlies were 2-for-5. Vipers’ alternate captain Ken Citron said it was was a tough loss, but looking at the bright side, he’s happy they got three of four points. “There is a lot of work to be done,” said Citron, adding they needed to chip more pucks in and use their speed. “We need to be a lot better than that. Blowing a three-goal lead is not acceptable at this point. I think everybody wished they had played a little bit better.” Jarrod Schamerhorn turned aside 30 shots in the loss, while Stiliadis made 20 saves.

Cam Hitch scored on a pass from Jason Shaigec near the end of the first period in Penticton. The Vees levelled the score late in the second and went ahead on a powerplay with five minutes remaining in the third before adding an empty-netter. Stephane Richard supplied 2+1, while Connor Johnston played twice his size with 1+5 as the Vipers ambushed the visiting Salmon Arm Silvertips 7-0 Friday night. Riley Swiscoski, Brady Marzocco, Darien Grace and Carl Main added singles in front of Tristan Quiring and Conor Webb. The Salmon Arm Female Midget A Silvertips, sponsored by Armstrong Co-op, defeated Kelowna 5-2 in exhibition action Saturday afternoon at the Shaw Centre. The Tips went in front midway through the second period when Brooke Miller (Salmon Arm) buried a shorthanded goal with a bar-down rocket from the slot. Kelowna equalized a minute later on the same powerplay.

Mikayla Stirling (Salmon Arm) scored on a rebound a minute later after some great corner work from Cassidy Marshall (Armstrong) to make it 2-1. Early in the third, Sarah Whitehead (Salmon Arm) scored the goal of the game when she sped down the left wing, powered around a defender and backhanded a beauty, short-side shelf. Just 10 seconds later, Emily Clarke (Vernon) connected with a great low shot under the sprawling Kelowna goalie. Miller completed the offence with five minutes to play. Taylor Thomlinson (Salmon Arm) played well in the Tips’ net in her first period of Midget hockey as she shared duties with Bailey Berndt (Enderby). Makenna Southam (Vernon) and Tareyn Hanson (Enderby) enjoyed bold games on defence. The Thompson Okanagan Lakers, based in Vernon, opened the B.C.

In this season’s first installment of the Battle of Vernon in the Okanagan AA Varsity football conference, the VSS Panthers ambushed the Fulton Maroons 48-0 Saturday afternoon at Grahame Park. Zac Kronbauer was a machine on the gridiron for the Cats. He busted through for a pair of scores on the ground and hauled in a 36-yard bomb from quarterback John Garvie. “Zac did a lot for us in that game. He had 133 yards rushing, 36 (yards) receiving and kicked six of seven extra points,” said Panthers’ head coach Sean Smith. “He a great athlete, so we try and get him the ball in places that allow him to take advantage of his athleticism.” The Panthers led by 21 after the first half over a highly inexperienced Maroon squad, with half their roster playing their first game. “VSS is simply a better squad top to bottom. Their kids are tough and physical and execute well,” said Maroons’ head coach Mike Scheller. “They had their way with us in all facets of the game and they are a quality football team.” After getting stuffed on their opening drive, Panthers’ quarterback Garvie was economical, going fivefor-six, for 90 yards in the air and running in a pair of touchdowns.

Tailback Liam Semeniuk ran the ball 14 times for 75 yards and banged in a two-yard touchdown. Fulton worked their way into the red zone twice, but failed to convert. “Our defence was stingy all game. We didn’t give up a deep ball all game, which is a credit to a great game plan put in by our defensive coordinator, Jeff Collins,” said Smith. Karson Patommel and Ben Hladik led the Panthers with six tackles and Carson Labrecque chipped in with four. “I gained a lot of respect for the Fulton boys in that game. They’re a young squad that played hard to the end and Mike (Scheller) had them competing. Once they get some experience, they are going to be a much better team,” said Smith. Added Scheller on his team’s performance, “Darrien Broomfield and Sikandar Ahmad played great for us. They were all over the field and worked their tails off. Quarterback Tye Kitzman played well and had five balls dropped that would have helped us.” The Maroons head north to Prince George to battle Duchess Park Condors Friday night. The Panthers will have this weekend off before taking on South Kamloops Titans Friday, Oct. 3 at Hillside Stadium.

ice with a 7-4 win Saturday as the line of Bennett Kuhnlein (3), Erik Pastro (2+1) and Austin Roest (2A) was red-hot. Liam Leibel and Cash Anderson contributed singles in front of solid goalies Austin Seibel and Colten Colmorgen. A 10-minute meltdown early in the third period cost the Vipers as they gave up four goals and ended up losing 8-5 Sunday in Salmon Arm.

Robin played in 46 games with the Knights last season and delivered five goals and 10 points. “Collin has strong leadership qualities, he is a hard worker and he carries himself well on and off the ice,” claimed Armstrong.

The VSS Panthers placed seventh overall and were the top AAA school in the Trinity Western High School Senior Girls Volleyball Tournament last weekend. The Cats finished second in pool play on Friday with back-to-back 2-0 wins against Langley Christian Lightning (28-26, 25-22) and Highroad Academy Knights of Chilliwack (25-12, 25-15). VSS ended the day with an unexpected 2-0 loss (25-15, 25-18) to the MEI Eagles of Clearbrook. The Panthers opened the Saturday playoff round by brushing back the scrappy Spruce Grove Composite Panthers of Alberta 2-1 (25-15, 23-25, 15-9). VSS then went on to stop the big-hitting Earl Marriott Mariners of Surrey, the 2013 AAAA provincial silver medalists, 25-16, 25-19. The win over Marriott moved the Panthers into the top-eight and a battle with the undefeated No. 1-ranked KSS Owls of Kelowna for a top-four crossover match. The Owls won the opening set 25-15 before winning the second 26-24. The towering Cobras of Alberta then swept the Cats 25-20, 25-23. “The experience this year from Grade 12 captains Tanner Lorenson and Sheph Mintz, along with teammates McKenzie Kreeft, Jordan Korol, Te’a Reimer and Megan Reeves, will bring good depth to the team,” said VSS coach Keith Becker.

The Penticton Dental Center United pulled the double by grounding Kelowna’s North Country Appraisals 3-1 in the Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League final Saturday at sun-kissed Mission Sports Field #14. United also took the regular-season title at 15-0-3, 13 points in front of the third-place Kickers (11-5-2). United capitalized at 10 minutes when Zeke Pescada’s free kick just outside the box found the feet of an unmarked Mike Beliveau, who fired a hard one-timer past Kicker keeper David Gadd. Penticton missed several other scoring chances and had the run of the play until the latter part of the half. Steve Fagan equalized in the 30th minute on a hard, high blast that Penticton keeper Mike Killick couldn’t handle. The ball bounced to Fagan after a scramble on a corner. Kelowna kept pushing for the goahead goal. Penticton again regained control early in the second half and Chad Henderson made it 2-1 when he stripped a defender of the ball and then beat Gadd with a solid shot to the low corner. Defender Rob Kroeker came out of nowhere and prevented the ball from crossing the goal line after Steve Frost deked Killick and hit the ball toward the empty net. Kevin Kolthlow added a tap-in goal at 75 minutes. assisted by Rob Jackson.

The Magnums had no answer for the Rider special teams as Kelowna returned three kickoffs to the house. Joey Mazzei led the Magnums on defence with eight tackles and Taber McLean wrapped up seven Roughriders. Fraser O’Brien leveled six Riders in his first game with the Magnums. The Magnums are off next week and do not play until Sunday, Oct. 5.

Jackson Ponipal, Connor Manahan, Jonas Ramsey and Weston Vanderveen stood out on defence.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE MAJOR RULES AT THE GAME-LEVEL We are looking at choosing between two fits, one balanced, in which the partners each have the same number of cards in that suit, and one unbalanced, in which one partner holds more cards than his partner. In general, the balanced suit will make the better trump choice. But what happens in a game-going deal when that is in a minor and the unbalanced is in a major? Then usually you select the major-suit fit because you need one fewer trick to collect the game bonus. In this deal, when North responded two hearts, a transfer bid showing at least

five spades and any pointcount, South might have rebid three spades, a superaccept, to indicate a good hand with four-card spade support and a doubleton somewhere. Then, when North rebid a natural and game-forcing three clubs, South was in a quandary. If North was thinking about a slam, clubs rated to be the better trump suit. But if North was not that ambitious, four spades would probably be preferable. Note that five clubs would have gone down two in jig time after East led the heart queen. Against four spades, West, with an unenviable lead, chose a trump. Declarer won, drew trumps, cashed

all of the clubs ending in the dummy, and played a diamond. West took that trick and led his second diamond winner. What did South do? He calmly discarded a heart from the dummy, leaving West endplayed to open up hearts or concede a ruff-andsluff.

YLW offers daily service to San Francisco Morning Star Staff

Kelowna International Airport (YLW) became San Francisco International Airportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seventh Canadian destination and 84th North American destination when United Airlines commenced its daily year-round, non-stop United Express service Saturday. SFO, known as the gateway to the Pacific, served 45 million domestic and international passengers in 2013, is the seventh largest airport in the U.S., and one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30th busiest airports. United, together with United Express, operates nearly 300 flights a day from the airlineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SFO hub. Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural flight was a cause for celebration at Kelowna International. â&#x20AC;&#x153;San Francisco is a great destination,â&#x20AC;? said airport director Sam Samaddar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It provides travellers better connection points to many more U.S. cities, as well, the San Francisco Bay area is a great region to visit.â&#x20AC;? Representatives from Tourism Kelowna were on hand to welcome the inaugural flight. On board, the 50-seat aircraft included five Bay area travel writers who came in for a familiarization tour of Kelowna. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Generating travel articles and blog posts allows us to showcase Kelowna and the Okanagan to many thousands of readers,â&#x20AC;? said Tourism Kelowna CEO Nancy Cameron. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that readers in the Bay area will be very intrigued by our beautiful destination and will want to jump on the United flight so they can explore for themselves.â&#x20AC;?

In addition, two travel directors from the Bay Area Snow Sports

Council also took the opportunity to tour the Okanagan and were

expected to report back to the more than 30 ski clubs in the Bay area

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ursa Major has the unique advantage of dealing direct with a smelterâ&#x20AC;? said Dick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That allows us to cut out one or even two middlemen. Ursa Major purchases gold and silver from other gold buyers, pawn shops, jewellers and jewellery makers as well as from the general public.â&#x20AC;? Recent price increases of precious metals have created lots of â&#x20AC;&#x153;gold buyersâ&#x20AC;? including mail in companies. Many of those buyers offer pennies on the dollar to unsuspecting customers and are limited to what they buy, choosing to ignore silver and coins and only purchase gold. Ursa Major analyzes your gold, silver and coins while you watch, with the process explained to you in detail. Coins with numismatic value are set aside from those with a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;meltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; value. Items thought to contain gold will be for hallmarks, and then confirmed using precise testing that is done while you watch. Then a cash offer is made and you decide to sell or not.

Dick took out his first gold claim when he turned 16 in the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and has been involved with precious metals ever since.

Support for rail line purchase

anadian National Railway’s rail corridor between Coldstream and Kelowna has been dis-

continued by CN Rail. Discussion of the purchase of this corridor by all three levels of governments in the Okanagan Valley has

been ongoing. The corridor in question is 49.5 kilometres in length, with two kilometres in Coldstream, 11 kilometres in the

Regional District of North Okanagan, 2.5 kilometres on Okanagan Indian Band land, 16 kilometres in Lake Country

and 18 kilometres in Kelowna. Ron Cannan, Kelowna-Lake Country MP, and I have supported the acquisition by the province of B.C. and the City of Kelowna and we have approached our government to fund the remaining one-third. One of the challenges for the government of Canada is that if it funds this acquisition, it opens the debate as to how many other jurisdictions across Canada

have similar requests? That challenge aside, federal policy does not permit land acquisition on behalf of local interests or assets. This does not diminish the positive support that MP Cannan and I will Colin Mayes continue to provide to this opportunity to have the corridor become a recreational and tourism asset that has huge potential for the Okanagan Valley. The positive news is that the improvements to the corridor in the future for a biking and walking cor-

MP rePort

ridor from Coldstream to Kelowna would be eligible for funding from the government of Canada. I am also aware of ongoing discussion with Canadian Pacific Rail with regards to the decommissioned rail corridor from Sicamous to Armstrong. Currently, the rail and ties are being removed and the corridor graded. This would also be a recreation opportunity in the area.

SNORING?

SLEEP APNEA?

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Helps to reduce the time it takes to fall a sleep. In most cases also stops snoring and gasping for air (sleep apnea) first night. Stops torturing your partner all night. Good sleep prevents being tired next day. Tired people work only at half capacity.

Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. #23 NPN 80027595 Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. Try your local health food stores first.
