Mund taking aim at mayor’s chair RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Community involvement is important to Akbal Mund and he says the next logical step is entering politics. The 54-year-old announced Thursday that he will let his name stand for Vernon mayor Nov. 15. “I want to help out more people than I have through all of the other activities I’ve done,” he said. A previous owner of the local Wendy’s franchise, Mund was president of the Greater Vernon 2012 B.C. Winter Games, cofounder of Wendy’s Dreamlift Day, president of the North Okanagan Sports Society and president of the Vernon Soccer Association. “I’m strong at leadership,” said Mund, who has lived in Vernon since 1993 and was named Citizen of the Year in 2012. “I understand the people of Vernon as I have been involved in numerous cultural and sports fundraisers and events since I moved here.” A primary focus for Mund, if elected mayor, would be improving economic conditions.

Akbal Mund announces he is running for mayor of Vernon Thursday at Hillview Golf Course. “There needs to be an industrial park somewhere and downtown needs buildings taller than four stories, perhaps with housing on top,” he said. He also wants to see more

emphasis on sports and culture and enhancing key infrastructure. “I have a long-term vision for the city, one where my grandchildren can enjoy the community by residing here, not elsewhere,

because we have all of the amenities they require for a healthy and prosperous life.” But while he says the city must meet the public’s needs when it comes to services, financial

responsibility is required. “We have to look at how to create a surplus so we don’t have to raise taxes every year,” he said. “We will run the city like a business and create a healthy tax base so that in the future, we can look at the possibility of lowering tax rates.” While some residents have pushed for amalgamation of Greater Vernon’s jurisdictions, Mund says regional governance is not part of his agenda. “I will focus my thoughts on Vernon. People need to decide what they want to do. Other communities need to decide what they want to do with governance,” he said. There are four other candidates for mayor — Victor Cumming, Jamie Morrow, Mary-Jo O’Keefe and Klaus Tribes — but Mund believes that is a positive. “If there are five different people with five different walks of life, people have a choice,” he said of voters. “I hope voter turnout comes out and people can make a decision that is best for Vernon.”

Fundraiser takes hit from thief ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Jim Tennant, Save-On Foods manager, reels up a food donation with a smile despite the rainy weather Wednesday on top of the store at the Village Green Centre.

Jim Tennant suffered a small setback in his efforts to do something good for the community. The Save-On-Foods manager, who has been camped on the roof of his store at the Village Green Centre since Sept. 19 to raise money and food for the Salvation Army Food Bank, was the victim of crime Tuesday. Somebody stole his Salvation Army kettle where he was accepting financial donations. “It kind of sucked, but somebody cut the cord,” said a disappointed Tennant

Wednesday morning. “I don’t even know when it happened. I didn’t hear anything. We even had the Salvation Army bells on the kettle and I didn’t hear anything. It was a nice, clean cut on the rope and it’s gone.” The kettle hangs from a rope and Tennant said he would pull up the kettle at around 5 or 6 p.m. each day to empty it. He ate dinner a little later than usual Tuesday and, after dinner, when he went to pull up the kettle, all he got was the rope. “I never wanted it hanging over the end with too much money, so I’m guessing there was maybe $100 in it,”

he said. “Losing the kettle and bells from the Salvation Army, along with the money for the food bank, it’s all bad.” H o w e v e r, only Wednesday’s rain was dampening Tennant’s spirits. While the theft hurt, he hopes something positive comes out of it. “I hope whoever did it wakes up this morning, and maybe it’ll be a turning point in their life,” said Tennant. “I hope they realize they stole from the food bank and from somebody trying to do something good in their community and, who knows, maybe they’ll turn their lives around and go, ‘You know what? I

don’t want to live like that anymore’ and make a change in their life. I have to try and hope for something positive to come out of it.” Something positive did come later Wednesday from the Vernon Rotary Club, which donated $1,000 after hearing the kettle had been taken. “That was awesome,” said Tennant. “Jack (Peters) brought it up at their meeting and everybody wanted to get on board to help out.” Tennant hopes to stay on the roof long enough to raise 25,000 pounds of food. As of noon Thursday, he was at 12,000 pounds.

Residents successfully block road construction clude that from occurring. “It’s a big piece of land and if in the future they (CRMC) get approval to expand the community forest, there’s lots of land there,” he said. BCTS has been accused of not consulting sufficiently with the community, but Yablonski says consultation has occurred with CRMC and hydrological assessments have been provided to the Regional District of North Okanagan. “We’ve said, if there is information people have about the development, we will consider it,” he said, adding that there is also a need to utilize professional consultants. “The geo-technical stuff is very scientific and they have been in business for 25 or 30 years and they are familiar with the terrain.” Johnston says BCTS is willing to involve the public in the process. “We’re happy to continue the dialogue as we develop the cut blocks.” Construction of 1.6 kilometres of the road was scheduled to start this week and the remainder will be completed next summer. Five cutblocks will then be put up for auction in fall 2015 and harvesting could occur in the summer of 2016. Johnston says auctioning of one block has been deferred until the other blocks are harvested and reforested to address community concerns.

Cherryville residents are declaring initial success in their fight against proposed logging. About 55 people blocked road construction crews on a section of Cherry Ridge Thursday. “We don’t want the road built without a statement being made,” said resident Carla Vierke. The construction contractor arrived at about 10:30 a.m. and after speaking to protesters, departed the scene without doing any work. “We had some effect today but we’re sure this will be an ongoing process,” said Vierke, who says the community will remain vigilant against logging. “We want to create attention that B.C. Timber Sales is not listening to our concerns.” Some residents have suggested that plans by BCTS, a government agency, for a logging road and harvesting on Cherry Ridge could trigger landslides that impact Cherryville on the valley bottom. Eugene Foisy, regional district director, says it was important for residents to have a presence. “BCTS is pushing ahead with the road before we do our study (on possible slides),” he said, adding that he’s not sure what BCTS’ plans are now that the contractor withdrew Thursday. “I’m not sure where it will go.” BCTS officials believe construction of a road and harvesting on

Sue Horton (left), Rick Munro, Renske Kruijk, Christa MacPherson and Hank Cameron join other Cherryville residents in trying to stop construction of a logging road on Cherry Ridge Thursday. Cherry Ridge does not threaten the community below, “We’re public servants and it’s not in our best interest to put plans in place that put homes and property at risk,” said Colin Johnston, BCTS woodlands supervisor. “Any area in the mountains has inherent risk so we have third party assessors and we ask them if it (harvesting) makes sense. Our goal is not to increase the risk with our activity.” Johnston says the hydrological assessment seven kilometres upstream of Cherryville found there is no need to increase the hazard rating for Cherry Creek

below the confluence of Currie Creek. BCTS is reluctant to describe the proposed logging as clearcutting. “There will be a percentage of tree stands retained on that site. There will be corridors left along the creeks,” said Warren Yablonski, a planning forester. Johnston admits that some of the residents’ concerns may come from past forest practices. “Things are not done the same as they were 30 years ago. The professionals we employ give us technical prescriptions about how to cross the land,” he said of the

road construction. BCTS plans to develop about 190 hectares of timber of two per cent of the suitable timber harvesting land base in that area. “We have a certain allowable annual cut that has to be harvested. This area is available for harvest and it will create revenue for market,” said Johnston, adding that this portion of Cherry Ridge was identified as working forest in 2001. There have been suggestions that this area should be included in the community forest operated by the Cherry Ridge Management Committee, and Johnston says the current plans for logging don’t pre-

Rescue pilot project first of its kind nationwide Morning Star Staff

Vernon Search and Rescue volunteers are taking their services to new heights. On Saturday, the unit is launching a two-year helicopter winch rescue (HWR) pilot project. “It is destined to have a national impact as it becomes the first volunteer SAR unit nationwide capable of carrying out HWR operations,” said Chris Henderson, Vernon SAR

Red T ag Sale

president. “The goal is not only to provide HWR services throughout the local region, but also to develop a model for other SAR units throughout B.C.” HWR operations involve specially trained team members who are able to deliver a high degree of medical treatment and lifesaving capability. “In essence, HWR team members can be called to respond by helicopter directly to the scene

in a wide range of situations, deploy directly by cable to the subject, recover multiple subjects in a single hover, efficiently provide precise medical treatment to the subject while flying directly to a waiting ambulance or hospital and efficiently provide precise emergency medical treatment to a number of rescued individuals while flying directly to a hospital if necessary,” said Henderson. Saturday’s event takes place at

the Vernon SAR headquarters, next to the Regional District of North Okanagan office on Aberdeen Road in Coldstream. It will include a public presentation at 2 p.m. and a live helicopter winch rescue demonstration at 2:20 p.m. At 3 p.m., there will be a demonstration of HWR team medical capabilities. “There will also be static displays of Search and Rescue vehicles and equipment.”

News Enderby to open arena for season Morning Star Staff

After having to cancel part of its season due to a problem with the chiller, the Enderby Memorial Arena and the Enderby Curling Club are enjoying a bit of good news. After a pressure test of the chiller, which cools the floor of the facility so water can be frozen for the ice-making process, the contractor has determined the chiller can be temporarily repaired. “This will enable the arena and curling rink to resume Tate Bengston operations in a matter of weeks, rather than have to wait up to 14 weeks for a new chiller to be manufactured, shipped, and installed,” said Tate Bengston, Enderby’s chief administrative officer. “In terms of the length of the interruption, this is the best-case scenario. A new chiller will be ordered and installed after the ice season concludes. Staff will proceed with an accelerated effort to get the ice established and ready for the community to enjoy.” The first date the arena will be open is Oct. 6. The curling rink will open shortly after that.

Vernon politicians are having their meeting stipend frozen.

ple to run, that’s beneficial,” said Sawatzky, who insists that current compensation is an impediment for some residents to seek elected office. Sawatzky is also concerned that current council’s policy ties the hand of subsequent politicians, but Lord downplays that possibility. “A future council can change it,” she said. Members of council had approved the meeting pay increase to $160 for meetings less than four hours in length in 2011. “By resolution during the budget process in January 2012 and subsequently in 2013 and 2014, the approved increase to $160 was deferred for a year,” said Will Pearce, chief administrative officer. “Thus the recommendation in the administration report (Monday) to initiate the meeting pay in accordance with the approved rate, $160 for meetings less than four hours, effective Jan. 1, 2015 is compliant with council direction.”

The City of Vernon’s traffic lights are getting some maintenance. Starting Monday, and running until Oct. 31, traffic signals – except those on Highway 97 and Highway 6 – will be attended by technicians for short durations for annual maintenance and testing. During the time that the traffic signal technician is working, traffic signals will be placed into four-way flash mode. The city asks that the traveling public be patient, slow down and use care when approaching an intersection occupied by its technicians.

This has been done while also providing considerable savings to our taxpayers.” Owner of a consignment store, Cunningham says she understands fiscal responsibility and accountability. “One must balance investment in services with tax rates when we consider building our community for today and for future generations,” she said. “Affordable housing and accessibility continue to be a strong area of interest for me as well. These are aspects of community development where the city can be an effective partner in initiatives that address these issues.” The other declared candidates for Vernon council are Jack Gilroy, Shawn Lee, Catherine Lord and Brian Quiring.

very fall, my college coach told us, “It’s gonna be over before you know it.” He was right. Four years of college ball felt like one crazy weekend. So when I started here, I knew my brief blip at The Morning Star would feel like a catnap. I started at The Morning Star seven months ago greener than Chad Pounder’s Shamrocks jersey. I can’t thank publisher Ian Jensen and managing editor Glenn Mitchell enough for Tyler Lowey taking a chance on a fresh-faced grad from Kamloops. They gave me an opportunity to learn in the industry, publish work and help further my career better than being a Jersey City salesman ever could. And I loved working at Jersey City. Yeah, there were some rough patches, but I’m forever grateful you guys stuck with me and gave me a shot. I never stopped learning and I know I’m a better journalist because of it. Hands down, the highlight of my job was travelling to Penticton for Game 7 to cover the Vipers come-from-behind win in the third period to knock off the Vees in overtime in the Interior Division final. I got the chance to meet some outstanding people and great athletes during this job. I felt so privileged to walk off of campus into my first job in such a lively city. This experience would not have been possible if your normal sports reporter Graeme Corbett never had a kid. For that, I thank him. Anytime he feels like adding another to the family tree, I’m more than happy to come back. This was the first job I’ve ever had where I didn’t despise dragging my big butt out of bed each morning. I hope the people of Vernon understand just how talented, dedicated, understanding,

At RAndoM

knowledgeable and friendly your newsroom is. Reporter Jennifer Smith has been so helpful and truly a delight. Kristin Froneman and Katherine Mortimer are always warm and welcoming in the morning. Richard Rolke and Roger Knox represent everything what a journalist should be. They are accurate, caring and professional. I’m not sure how Roger and I got along seeing as we disagreed on everything. I must thank photographer Lisa VanderVelde for hooking me up with my sweet house for the summer and always having time for a few quick laughs. And then there is Kevin Mitchell. What is there to say about Kevin that hasn’t already been said? Whenever I introduced myself to people and they found out I was a sports reporter for The Morning Star, I got one of three reactions. The first, “Oh, you must work with Kev, I know him, we gradded together. What a guy.” Second, “You work with Kev?! That sucks! I hope he’s not too hard on you.” The third, I can’t repeat here. Literally everybody knows him and respects the quality of work this man cranks out. One day, when he retires in 40 years and they erect a statue of him out front of the building, I’ll apply for my old job and happily work under Corbett. It will be nice to work for someone who knows who Jay-Z is. I really owe whatever I do with this career to Kev. He took me in and taught me everything about sports reporting. One thing I’m definitely going to miss about this place is all the aortic-wall clinging food that was consumed in our office; pizza, doughnuts, cheezies, chips and cake. The development of my reporting skills and facial hair growth were quite evident over the past seven months and I thank you all immensely. I’m not too sure where I’ll end up, but I know where I got my start and that will never change.

There’s definitely a disconnect between Cherryville residents and B.C. Timber Sales. On Thursday, about 55 people made their way up on to Cherry Ridge to peacefully stop crews contracted by BCTS, a provincial agency, to construct a road so logging can occur. “We want to create attention that B.C. Timber Sales is not listening to our concerns,” said resident Carla Vierke of the fear that logging could trigger landslides that threaten the community below. And yet if you listen to BCTS, it insists that full consultation with Cherryville has occurred. “We’re happy to continue the dialogue as we develop the cut blocks,” said Colin Johnston, woodlands supervisor. BCTS also states that meetings have been held with the Cherry Ridge Management Committee, which operates a community forest, and hydrological assessments have been provided to the Regional District of North Okanagan. A major sore point for residents is that BCTS is proceeding with road construction despite RDNO not initiating a risk assessment of logging on the slope. Road construction crews were turned away by protesters Thursday morning, but it’s not likely BCTS is going to abandon the project as it has a mandate to utilize the province’s natural resources to create revenue for the government. Will residents continue to prevent construction and if BCTS remains firm, will emotions ramp up? What is needed is for both sides to sit down and determine if middle ground can be found that allows some level of harvesting to occur while community concerns are addressed. And if a mediator is needed, the best choice is MLA Eric Foster, who has a forestry background, understands government and has the respect of many Cherryville residents.

Editor: GlEnn MitchEll

school bus routes I am writing this letter to voice my concern at what seems to be an apparent lack of communication between the Vernon School District and its parent group, which it is suppose to serve. The district, in mid-June, sent home a letter to parents that their children would no longer be bused if they were within a 2.4 -kilometres distance from their school. As far as I am aware, there was no opportunity for discussion regarding this upcoming change. Yes, there was a general District Parent Advisory Council meeting held in June where transportation was an agenda item. But it was not the only item on the agenda and if you were late to the meeting, the front door was locked. Does that send a message? As a former school board employee, I well understand the financial pressures that all school districts are facing. It is a losing challenge. However, to drop a bomb of this magnitude and have no opportunity for parents to have meaningful discussion until September or a later date has all of the hallmarks of poor communication. Many of these roads that kindergarten and elementary age children will have to walk back home on have no sidewalk and in

walk the streets for money. Yes, I am a letter carrier, and since moving to Vernon two years ago, I have lost count of the number of times I have almost been hit by a vehicle while in a marked crosswalk. While the absence of sufficient driving skill is likely a factor for many of these close encounters, I would like to offer another reason why it is dangerous for pedestrians in this community. Motorist visibility is extremely limited by the layout of many intersections. Couple that with vegetation that is allowed to grow unconstrained, and you have citizens risking their lives when they

some cases, the highway is now shared with bicycle traffic as the shoulder is marked as a bike lane. Aberdeen Road, which is the only major road running north/ south through Coldstream, is one and Silver Star Road in the BX is another example. It's tough enough that your child may have to walk along highway traffic but now your kindergarten child may have to dodge an occasional bike as well. Add in the reality of winter when snow will be plowed over the shoulder and your child will have to walk out into traffic because there is no shoulder to walk on. There is also less daylight, so by the time 4 p.m. comes, it is getting darker. So now we have the combination of elementary age children walking in the dark along snow-covered roads while cars are driving by. This is not a pretty picture. If we have to bite the bullet because of financial pressures facing the district and we have to limit bus transportation, is there any consideration towards the idea of eliminating the morning bus run but keeping the afterschool run? I put this on the table simply because cutting the morning run will have less impact upon families. Most parents are going to

Rather than being just another diswork in the morning and while it would be inconvenient, they could probably drop their kids off at the school on their way to work or make alternate arrangements to drop their kids off. The afternoon bus run is a different story. At this time of day, practically all parents are still working and making alternate arrangements is much more difficult simply because all other adults who are eligible to drive are also working. And no you cannot depend upon your grandparents all of the time. Cutting the morning bus run should save you about half of your time and your cost because you are only doing one trip now – the after-school one. At least parents will have the assurance that their children will arrive home safely and the district will save some time and money. In my opinion, limiting your bus runs to 2.4 kilometres in the morning and afternoon will save less. Finally – you can never, ever communicate well enough. The Vernon School District is in the education business. Part of good business is not only listening to your clients but be to be seen listening to your clients and giving your clients lots of opportunity to respond as well. Missing any part of that equation is simply interpreted as

pleased voice in the letters section, I have two suggestions to offer. One, bylaw enforcement resources could be used to ensure that property owners sufficiently curtail their vegetation. Two, law enforcement officers could ticket drivers when they don’t stop at the stop line before a crosswalk at an intersection. It seems many drivers stop halfway through the crosswalk at an intersection, if they stop at all. These two suggestions would mitigate what should not be a risky endeavor for Vernon residents — crossing the street. roxanne ricard

stonewalling and never does your business any good. robert e. lee a response I'm not sure who wrote the editorial on ICBC that appeared in The Morning Star recently, but I felt a response necessary. While I agree completely with banning all of the various electronics that distract drivers, I find it very hard to feel sorry for ICBC, who, I see, is raising the premiums yet again, using a multitude of claims as its excuse. I'm wondering how many people realize that in the many years that ICBC has had a huge surplus, that, rather than cut back on insurance rates, or even holding the line for a few years, our provincial government instead transfers those surpluses over into its general revenues. Then, the next year, quoting increased claims, they again raise insurance rates, which create a surplus, which gets transferred into general....etc. Millions and millions have been transferred. The drivers who paid for the surplus get no direct consideration at all. Doug hayden thank you My heartfelt thanks to the young man who returned my wal-

regional district,” said MacIver, 62, who is currently president of the community association. MacIver’s primary goal is to represent residents in the area the retired communications officer has called home since 2000. “I want to preserve the lifestyle we all moved out here for and to do that, we need to continue communications with the residents and take that information back to the regional district,” she said. “I like living where I live. I like the lifestyle and the people. At times, people want hands-off management and I believe that’s possible.” Another issue of concern is water rates in the Killiney Beach and Westshore Estates neighbourhoods.

“The more water you use, the less you pay and that doesn’t make sense,” she said. MacIver says she also wants to ensure residents’ interests are considered when it comes to policing and road maintenance. But while some residents have concerns about the condition of Westside Road, MacIver insists that great strides have been made. “I’m impressed with the work the Ministry of Transportation has done so far from the Kelowna end to LaCasa and from LaCasa to O’Keefe, that will change,” she said. “I would like to give them a chance to implement it.” Current director Jim Edgson is not seeking re-election.

A new deal has been inked between the City of Vernon and unionized workers. The collective agreement between the city and CUPE local 626 was ratified Wednesday after union members voted 88 per cent in favour of the conditions in the contract. “The union membership looks forward to working with the city to supply the best service possible to the residents of Vernon and area in the years ahead,” said Ken Juniper, CUPE 626 president. The term of the agreement is five years, from Jan. 1, 2014 to Dec. 31, 2018. The 244 city employees will see incremental wage increases, which total 8.5 per cent, staggered through the five-year term.

City checks in with business Morning Star Staff

The City of Vernon wants to hear directly from businesses. On Wednesday, city officials will visit more than 150 businesses as part of the second annual Business Walks program. “We have assembled more than 20 volunteers that will be visiting commercial businesses throughout Vernon from 10 a.m. until noon with a goal of gaining a better understanding of the economic climate in the community,” said Kevin Poole, economic development manager. Business Walks is a fiveKevin Poole minute check-in with businesses to gain a better understanding of how business is going and how the city can better meet their needs. “The goal of Business Walks is to get a pulse on the immediate issues and challenges that companies may be facing,” said Poole. “Prominent economists such as David Birch and David Kraybill have said that up to 80 per cent of job growth in a community is created from within. This is contrary to the belief that new job growth is achieved through business attraction efforts. Our goal is to create an environment in Vernon where business can continue to grow and thrive.”

There will be an open house Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Falkland Community Hall for residents of Falkland, Westwold and Monte Lake. “The three communities are connected through some services and memberships in organizations that are in one or another of the communities,” said Fran Nikon, one of the event organizers. “We have many new residents in the area and the open house is an opportunity for residents to learn what is available.”

It was a sweet setting for a sweet new design. The Armstrong-Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce unveiled its new logo at the recent Business After Business hosted by Eileen, Yves and Randy Smith from Final Touch Printing and Framing, who provided a spread of appetizers and sweet treats to impress the business crowd. “The board has been working on this project for the past year,” said Patti Noonan, executive director of the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce. “They were excited to see that the new logo was representative of their collaboration and showcased the vision the board has of the two communities working together for a stronger community.” Mayors Janice Brown, of Spallumcheen, and Chris Pieper, of Armstrong, addressed the crowd and both expressed appreciation for the positive relationship between the two communities and the

Bruce McIntosh, of the Vernon Lions, unloads hazardous waste at the Household Hazardous Waste Round-Up in the Regional District of North Okanagan parking lot.

North Okanagan residents have done their part to protect the environment. The Regional District of North Okanagan recently hosted its Household Hazardous Waste Round-Up in Coldstream, Enderby, and Lumby. “Newalta, the main contractor for the event, filled 102 205litre drums and 45 20-litre pails with flammables, poisons, corrosives, antifreeze, fuel, waste oil, and a myriad of other unknown household chemicals,” said Karmen Morgan, RDNO waste reduction co-ordinator. In addition, the Battery Doctors collected 12,470 litres of paint, 47 automotive batteries, 80 kilograms of household batteries and 143 aerosol cans. “The event would not be possible without the support of volunteers from the Enderby and Vernon Lions clubs, and firefighters from the Enderby and Lumby volunteer fire departments,” said Morgan. If you missed the Hazardous Waste Round Up, take advantage of the year-round disposal options for many common household items. In Vernon, Chasers Bottle Depot, accepts many household pesticides, paint, and flammable liquids from residents at no charge, year-round. Paint can also be dropped off, at no charge year round, at Armstrong Collision in Armstrong, KBM Autoworks in Lumby, and at Interior Freight and Bottle Depot and Rona in Vernon. To find a recycling drop-off location near you for batteries, electronics, fluorescent tubes and bulbs, oil, oil filters and containers, small appliances, power tools, broken toys, and many other items, visit www.rcbc.bc.ca or call the Recycling Hotline at 1-800-667-4321.

Vees claim Interior penthouse Black Press Sports

It’s year 53 in the B.C. Hockey League and the Interior Division appears to be even more balanced than last year when the playoff race went down to the final weekend. The defending champion Vees appear to be primed to repeat, but after that, the Interior spots are wide open. Again, one or two very good teams will miss the postseason dance. For the record, the 2015 Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup is in Fort McMurray. The Royal Bank Cup will be held in Portage la Prairie, Man. Black Press sports reporters and editors have assessed the rosters and decided on the following finishes: 1. Penticton Vees Key Returnees: F Matthew Serratore (5-9-14), Steen Cooper (9-32-41), Riley Alferd (7-17-24), Jack Ramsey (9-16-25), Cody DePorucq (20-18-38) and Cam Amantea (10-7-17). D Patrick Sexton (3-69, 66 PIM), Jarod Hilderman (1-7-8). G Hunter Miska (19-12-2, 226 goals against average, 2 SO, .915 save percentage. Rookie Sensations: F Tyson Jost, 16, helped the Major Midget Okanagan Rockets earn bronze at the Telus Cup. Jost racked up 44 goals and 88 points in 36 games. Jost, who potted a hattrick against Alberni Valley in the Bauer BCHL Showcase, was invited to Hockey Canada’s under-17 challenge development camp with fellow Vees’ freshman, D Dante Fabbro. Also 16, Fabbro was the 2013 Hockey Now B.C. Minor Hockey Player of the Year. He produced 22 goals and 61 points in 38 games with the Vancouver Northwest Giants. D Miles Gendron was drafted by the Ottawa Senators last summer, while Lewis Zerter-Gossage is committed to Harvard for 2015-16. Strengths: The Vees are bigger and will possess a strong transition game as they play with speed. The dee will also be moving the puck quicker. Vees’ coach/GM Fred Harbinson said when they have the ability to create turnovers, they will heading into the offensive zone in a hurry and putting teams on their heels. Coach’s quote (Harbinson): “We have a lot of young players that I think are just going to get better with time. If we keep working with them on a day-to-day basis,

and they are willing to put in that work … I think you will see us by second half of the year, we are going to be better than we are now. This is one of the deepest teams we’ve had.” 2.

They found some gems in American forwards John Shiavo (94), and Michael Ederer (96), along with home-grown talent Braden Fuller (95) and Nick Fidanza (96).

will ice plenty of rookies, but early standouts include former USHL F Charlie Zuccarini, 19, and 16-yearold Robbie Johnson up front, D Sheldon Hubbard and Jeremy Lucchini, and G Brett Clark from the Keystone Cup winning Beaver Valley Nitehawks. High expectations also surround Army commits Bryan Gerstenfield (D) from Connecticut and Ryan Swanson (D) from Minnesota, and Brown commit Conner Wynne. Zuccarini scored five goals in Trail’s 8-3 win over the Coquitlam Express at the BCHL Showcase last weekend. Strengths: Trail may be looking for an element of surprise with 10 rookies, but coach Nick Deschenes has mined some legitimate talent, including eight players with commitments to NCAA Division 1 schools. He has also acquired veteran players like Trail natives F Craig Martin (Alberni) and F Dallas Calvin (Vipers), Vernon F Harlan Orr (Alberni, Salmon Arm), and Coquitlam D Victor Dombrovskiy, who played two seasons with the Langley Rivermen. Mix in the returning veterans and talented rookies, the Smokies should have balance throughout the lineup. Coach’s Quote: (Deschenes): “To be competitive is our goal, that’s the whole focus, and our mission is to get Trail back on track and in the playoffs. We’re going to push as hard as we possibly can all year. There’ll be games made, there will be setbacks, but hopefully overall we’re going to come out where we want to be.” 6. West Kelowna Warriors Key Returnees: F Liam Blackburn (17-26-43), F Jason Cotton (23-36-59), F Jordan Masters (19-21-40), G Andy Desautels (27-15-2, 2.57 GAA) and D Ryan Ivey (2-4-6). Rookie Sensations: Forward Kade Kehoe, 18, joins the Warriors from the Saskatoon midget AAA Contacts, where he scored 25 goals and 53 points and displayed a physical side with 111 penalty minutes in 40 games. Like Kehoe, forward Josh Bly, 18, also hails from Saskatoon, but played midget hockey last season in

North Battleford where he tallied 65 points in 41 games. At 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, Rylan Yaremko will bring size and physicality to the blueline. Yaremko had 19 points in 31 games last season with the Grande Prairie Midgets. Strengths: Goaltender and team coMVP Andy Desautels, 20, was a workhorse for the Warriors last season and, with a largely new defensive corps in front of him, will likely need to be sharp again. The club’s offensive punch rests with Liam Blackburn, Jordan Masters and Jason Cotton, a trio of skilled players who will also provide veteran leadership. With seven dee not returning, the blueline will be the Warriors’ biggest question mark. Coach’s quote (Rylan Ferster): “We have a lot of new faces, so it’s going to take some time to figure our what kind of team we are. We’ve been happy with our leadership group, the guys who we expect to lead us, when push comes to shove, they’ll need to show the way for us. It will take time to build some chemistry and see how that unfolds.” – Contributors: Emanuel Sequeira in Penticton, Warren Henderson in West Kelowna, Evan Buhler in Salmon Arm, Jim Bailey in Trail, Ian Webster in Merritt and Tyler Lowey in Vernon.

Knights go limp in third period Morning Star Staff

The lack of pressure allowed the Summerland Steam to stop the North Okanagan Knights 3-1 in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League action. The Knights mustered just three shots on net in the third period at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. The 1-3-0-1 Knights have lost three straight, and had a chance to take a bite out of the 4-1 Steam, second in the Okanagan Division. “It’s tough,” sighed Knights’ head coach Jim Armstrong. “I thought we looked OK in the first 40, but to be outshot 18-3 in the third period when we are down 2-1 is disappointing and unacceptable. “It comes down to hunger and intensity. I know we are a young team and we are finding ourselves, but we need more than that.” The Steam opened the scoring from Wyatt Gale at 15:45 in the first, from Riley Pettitt and Jarrett Malchow. The Knights drew even just over a minute later as Thomas Pattison converted from Austin Garrington.

Garrington has been consistent to start the season playing alongside dee partner Matthew Halvorson. Garrington, a 5-foot-11 Vernon product, leads the Knights with a goal and four points. “Austin has a tremendous shot and he finds a way of getting it on net,” said Armstrong. Jack Mills scored the winner with 2:21 remaining in the second, from Braden Eliuk. Pettitt added the insurance halfway through the third from Malchow. Knights’ backup netminder Brady Lenardon saw his first action of the season turning away 40 shots. “Brady was absolutely fantastic in his first game. He looked a little nervous but then he bared down,” said Armstrong. Lenardon won the Midget Tier 1 provincial championship last year with Kelowna Fripps Warehouse Rockets. The Knights host the 1-3-1 Kelowna Chiefs tonight and head to Summerland for a rematch Saturday night.

Two recent semifinal finishes brought Vernon’s Brendan Davidson closer to his goal of a podium finish on the World Cup Downhill Longboarding circuit. Race conditions ranged from an ice storm and lightning at the legendary Pike’s Peak road at 11,000 feet in Colorado, to a scorching 110 degrees in the mountains near San Diego one week later. In Colorado, the 19-year-old Davidson aggressively advanced through several rounds of more thanover 150 international riders to the semis. While leading in the semis, just before the finish line, the rider in second place collided into him, sending both into the hay bales, unhurt. The rider in third place was able to stay upright while riding over Davidson’s board in the mayhem and on to the finals.

UBC, Kozak capture golf tournament Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Conner Kozak and the UBC Thunderbirds rewrote the program’s history books Tuesday while repeating as champions at the 43rd Annual Western Washington University Invitational Men’s Golf Tournament in Bellingham. The event was staged at the Bellingham Golf and Country Club, which played at par-72, 6,561 yards. With a result of 35-under par 829, UBC established a new school record for a 54-hole team score. Evan Holmes of Calgary now owns the T-Birds’ mark for best individual three-round score while Banff native Jack Wood tied the UBC standard

for lowest round. The Thunderbirds also shattered the previous WWU Invitational tour naKozak ment best of 18-under established by the hosts in 2001. UBC had the top-three finishers in medalist play, led by Holmes at 14-under 202 after finishing with a 4-under 68 on Tuesday. It is his second consecutive tournament victory, with his first coming three days ago at the St. Martin’s Invitational in Olympia, Wash. His 202 is two shots better than the previous program best,

which was jointly held by Blake Rowe-Sleeman at the 2008 NAIA Region 1 Championship and Cory Renfrew at the 2009 Association of Independent Institutions conference championship. Wood, who fired a tourneybest 8-under 64 Tuesday, moved up 13 places to tie for second at 9-under 207 with Kozak (72) and Cal State Stanislaus’s Michael Mencassy (71). Wood’s 64 is the lowest score ever recorded by a UBC golfer. Rowe-Sleeman accomplished this feat twice in 2008.

Travel expenses debated barb brouwer Black Press

Two issues that raised some directors’ ire at the Columbia Shuswap Regional District board meeting in July were back on the table. At the recent board meeting, Salmon Arm director Debbie Cannon asked the board to limit directors’ trips to annual Federation of Canadian Municipalities conventions and that the expenses of all directors be posted online every three months. “I thought this board should really only send two directors to FCM,” Cannon said, Rene Talbot noting that with the move to four-year terms, each director would have the opportunity to go to the federal convention once in their term. The notion of restricting attendance didn’t sit well with all rural directors. Rhona Martin, rural Sicamous director, pointed Rhona Martin out that the money to pay the directors’ way to FCM conventions, which are held in different locations across the country, comes out of an electoral area directors’ fund and not CSRD administration funds. “Unlike the municipalities, we are not all representing the same areas. We all have our own issues,” she said. A visibly annoyed Rene Talbot, Falkland director, says there is value in attending the conventions. “Rural areas across Canada need support and it is good to get it at the conference,” he said, pointing to gas tax funds that are allocated to electoral areas and the Canada Building Fund. “I appreciate it is election time and some people want to make it an election issue, I guess. I think most directors are very well aware of how to spend; they don’t need other people to tell them they are not spending wisely.” But Cannon defended her position, noting she has gone to FCM twice during her time on Salmon Arm council – eight years ago, and again this year, when it was held in Niagara Falls, Ont.. “I talked to a lot of people and all of the ones I talked to had some kind of mechanism that everyone gets to go once a term,” she said, adding that she is well aware of where the funding comes from. A motion to restrict attendance to once a term never got off the ground, but a motion to defer the matter until budget talks was adopted, with

Plane lands after alert Morning Star Staff

There were some tense moments at Kelowna International Airport Wednesday morning. At about 10:52 a.m., a commercial flight on approach to YLW advised the air traffic control tower that the indicator light for the aircraft’s landing gear was not illuminating the green light that indicates the wheel is fully locked. “Kelowna Airport’s aircraft rescue firefighters, the Kelowna Fire Department, B.C. Ambulance and the RCMP were on scene to support the emergency standby,” said Jenelle Hynes, YLW media spokesperson. “The Air Canada Express flight from Calgary landed safely at 10:58 a.m. without incident and taxied to the gate.” The aircraft had a mechanical review before continuing to its next destination. There was no disruption to scheduled flight service at YLW.

Cannon opposed. Directors also agreed unanimously to have their quarterly expenses posted online.

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder W. Gifford-Jones, MD

hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack. Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent. But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day. This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine! I turned 90 this year.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal. I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

Budget recognition for city Morning Star Staff

The City of Vernon has been recognized by the Government Finance Officers Association of the U.S. and Canada (GFOA) for the 2014 City of Vernon budget, and it received the GFOAâ€™s Distinguished Budget Presentation Award. The award represents a significant achievement, reflecting the commitment of the city and staff to meet the highest principles of governmental budgeting. The city previously received this award for its budget in 2013. â€œThis award represents the results of a very comprehensive process leading to the 2014 financial plan,â€? said Kevin Bertles, the cityâ€™s director of financial services. â€œIt has been my goal to raise the overall level of financial reporting of the city and, in doing so, raise the level of financial transparency for council, the citizens of Vernon and all other users of our financial information. â€œParticipating in the GFOA budget award program helps us to achieve that goal through its evaluations against industry best practices.â€? In order to receive the budget award, the city had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation. These guidelines are designed to assess how well an entityâ€™s budget serves as a policy document, financial plan, operations guide and a communications device. All of these documents must be rated proficient in four categories, with 14 mandatory criteria within those categories, to receive the award. GFOA said that award recipients have pioneered efforts to improve the quality of budgeting and provide an excellent example for other governments throughout North America. â€œHaving our chief financial officer achieve this award again is a satisfying recognition of the high standard of work by his department along with the constant collaboration of all the City of Vernon departments that serve our public,â€? said Mayor Rob Sawatzky.

Comedian Chris Gibbs shares his neurosis about being a dad in Like Father, Like Son? Sorry Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

From Mom’s the Word to Bill Cosby’s Fatherhood, to Louis C.K.’s questionable parenting advice, there’s no shortage of funny women and men who have turned dirty diapers, late night feedings and temper tantrums into comedy gold. One such comedian is about to arrive at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Oct. 3, but his show delves a little deeper into the psyche and fears of becoming a parent. British-born comic Chris Gibbs describes his latest stand-up show, Like Father, Like Son? Sorry, as something most new parents can relate to – the fear of passing on your recessive genes on to an innocent newborn. But seriously, “It’s about someone who didn’t think he would be a good father, learning that in some ways it’s not true, in some ways it doesn’t matter, and in some ways you just won’t know what to do,” said Gibbs. In his show, Gibbs relates the funny stories about the birth of his son and the many things he worried about and still worries about. “When you have a child, there’s plenty that excites you, and plenty that makes you afraid. For example, my son looks nothing like me. I’m short and have brown hair. My son is tall and has blond hair and blue eyes. I think, ‘Good for him, he looks just like his mother,’ but it’s kind of disheartening to realize that every gene in my body is recessive.” Before becoming a dad or a full-time comedian/writer, Gibbs had a few interesting occupations in his native England, including working as an “overweight” acrobat, a private school English teacher, whose only qualification was his British accent, and as a Titanic museum re-enactor who was fired after one day for “adding a few things.” “They hired a few of us to be specific people on the Titanic in the Titanic exhibit. I can, and do, perform more serious work, but find it more difficult especially if improvising to not do the thing I’ve always done and lighten the mood. They had these areas roped off, and I explained in a very deadpan way that many of the casualties were due to the ropes in this room. I may have done the same thing with some of the glass cases and told people that the reason that the artefacts in the exhibit were so well preserved was because of the cases. Obviously it was a joke, but I feel like some people walked away thinking that people actually died because of the hazard the ropes presented,” he said. Gibbs says his real entry into comedy came the day after his 21st birthday when he became a street performer in London’s Covent Garden. “I think I got into making people laugh because I thought I was destined for computers. I thought I was a scientist as a kid. It (street performing) was the first proper

Comedian Chris Gibbs presents his self-effacing brand of stand-up comedy in his new show Like Father, Like Son? Sorry at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Friday, Oct. 3 at 8 p.m. decision I ever made. I wanted to be an actor but I ended up going into street comedy and became a comedian. As a street performer it’s always good to be funny. Some of the best advice I got was that street performance was always your excuse to be on stage. I was an acrobat, and realized it was better to be a funny acrobat than just an acrobat.” After becoming “a legal alien” (actually the name of one of his solo shows) in Canada in 1995, Gibbs starting honing his stand-up act and his character-based performances in two award-winning, one-man shows. Performed at Fringe Festivals and stages around the country, including in Vernon, 2003’s The Power of Ignorance, written with Canadian writer/performer/director TJ Dawe, saw Gibbs playing a mock motivational speaker, whose method of achieving success and happiness basically involved twisted logic and motivational nonsense. His other show, Antoine Feval, which spawned a sequel, followed an ex-street-performing comedian attempting to do a one-man comedy play about Victorian London’s most overlooked detective. (Other credits include appearing at Just For Laughs in Montreal, twice at CBC’s Winnipeg Comedy Festival and on the NBC comedy show, Howie Do It with Howie Mandel. Gibbs also starred in the indie Canadian feature film, Run Robot Run.)

With his knack for telling a story, it was inevitable that Gibbs would eventually do a show about becoming a new dad. “When I decided to do it I always had a bunch of stories ready to go. I’ve been in stand-up for a long time so I was able to find the root of it,” he said. “Basically the process is to throw a bunch of stories together in a way that makes sense and tell the overall story of the journey that I was going on and that I’m assuming all fathers go on: ‘I’m a dad now, how am I not going to mess up tomorrow?’” Some of those stories – with tangents attached – follow what happened when Gibbs learned about childbirth. Some, as mentioned, are about his fears. But mostly, it’s a genial, self-effacing presentation of Gibbs speaking his thoughts out loud. “When you explain your fears and worries to an audience, it’s something that can be helpful,” he said, adding, “It’s very easy to get trapped in what the performance is about, but it’s really just a stand-up comedy show. However, if you’re a generally angry person who just likes to sit there and not laugh then this probably isn’t for you.” Tickets for Like Father, Like Son? Sorry are $30 for adults, $27 for seniors, and $25 for students. Call the Ticket Seller box office at 250-549-SHOW (7469) or visit www.ticketseller.ca for tickets and more information.

Arts Neeson takes a walk to remember A walk Among the Tombstones

atthew Scudder (Liam Neeson) is an ex-cop, now private investigator who works off the books. “I sometimes do favours for people who give me gifts,” he says. When a drug trafficker can’t go to the police about his wife being kidnapped, Scudder is hired to investigate the crime. We say, “It’s a throwback to gritty cop movies of the late ‘70s, early ‘80s.” TAYLOR: I really enjoyed A Walk Among the Tombstones. It started out comically cheesy, like a Dirty Harry movie. After the opening scene of chasing baddies through busy city streets, firing guns willy-nilly, the story jumps ahead a number of years and becomes more subdued. The story is an investigation involving seedy people up to no good, the kidnapping and murders of people who, due to their businesses, won’t go to the police for help. The kidnappers know this and are exploiting it, so the regular rules don’t apply. As per usual, Neeson is a tough, old bugger with a particular set of skills, but in this film, he plays a much more realistic character. I believed Neeson in this role, perhaps more than any other he’s played. HOWE: I loved this movie. It would

Taylor and Howe

make my top three so far this year. The acting was top notch by all involved. I thought this was one of Neeson’s best performances, couple that with some great acting from David Harbour and Adam David Thompson as the kidnappers and you have one very good movie. The two kidnappers were fantastically creepy. Not since The Silence of the Lambs have I seen such a disturbing thriller in the sense of what the kidnappers do to their hostages. What I really like are movies from which I am not expecting much, then they sneak up on you and you are thoroughly entertained from start to finish. TAYLOR: I liked the classic cinematography: no shaky hand-held cameras here. This film could be shown in film school as an instruction in how to shoot a movie. Smooth dolly shots, perfect still frames, letting the action move the camera rather than the other way around. It reminded me of all the films I’ve loved in the past for these reasons. Combine that with a nice creepy, gritty, slightly per-

I think it deserves to be a hit, but audiences seem to prefer movies that are bigger and louder. This is a great, grownup movie. HOWE: I agree and I don’t think I have to say anything else about it. Just go, watch it, and enjoy. – Taylor gives A Walk Among the Tombstones 4.5 fingers out of 5. – Howe gives it 4.5 whiskey shots out of 5.

Leonard Cohen wears his octogenarian years well Leonard Cohen: Popular Problems

eonard Cohen decries old age on Slow, the bluesy lead-off track on his 13th album, Popular Problems. He sings of liking a slow groove in a gravelly whisper

over a dark track that sounds like Steely Dan on cough syrup. On his 80th birthday, Cohen is entering that charmed company that counts Tom Waits, Bob Dylan and JJ Cale

amongst its members. Cohen can’t sing a phone book but he can create atmosphere. Popular Problems is dark and sparse but Cohen’s lines also leave lots of space. Samson in New Orleans is close to classic Cohen: an evoc-

ative Europe-at-thebrink-of-war abandon lurks behind his delivery. But Cohen is often a victim or magnet of hyperbole. His lyrics are mined for meaning when they’re often just images. “The party’s over

Street SoundS

Dean Gordon-Smith

and I landed on my feet. I’m standing on this corner where there used to be a street.” And so it goes. Taken separately, away from his other work, this album lacks poetic power and high drama. Cohen is usually on the laid back side of intellectual but he was always able to muster chilling tracks like The Partisan – a classic example of blunt reporting via the medium of a doomed man’s diary. There’s nothing so melodramatic here on Popular Problems but Cohen gets out on that lone wolf wavelength on Me Oh My and Nevermind. This is a subdued

Leonard Cohen has released his 13th studio album, Popular Problems, at the age of 80. sounding album: minimalist keyboard hooks bounce on drum machine beats and allow Cohen his needed vocal room. His trademark gut-string guitar is gone for the most part, making a cameo on the wistful You Got Me Singing and Me Oh My. The slow burn of electric piano and sultry background vocals are a different vehicle for the

songs but they lose the edge that voice, guitar and like accompaniment bring to the music. Still, Cohen and his songwriting partner, Patrick Leonard, have crafted a coherent and solid album whose strength is muted atmosphere and purposefully intoned voice/vocal delivery. He doesn’t really sing but he gives a great interview.

Have bagpipes, will travel Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff

The Philippines is known for many things: its tropical climate, exotic fruits, beautiful beaches and friendly people. Until recently, bagpipes were not something generally associated with the island country in the Pacific. But on his recent month-long holiday in the Philippines, Vernon’s Don MacLeod found himself the guest of honour at the “First Annual Bagpipe Workshop” at a high school in Davao City. Pipe major with the North Okanagan Pipes & Drums, MacLeod makes regular trips to the Philippines with his wife, Grace, who was born and raised there. MacLeod said the first time he brought his bagpipes with him was in 2004. Going through customs at Davao City International Airport, he was stopped and asked about the unusual looking case he was carrying. “When I told the customs officer they were bagpipes, he was so excited, he gave me his card and asked me to call him,” said MacLeod. It turns out the officer owned a restaurant on the beach and he wanted MacLeod to play the pipes there. “He told me his brother-in-law was dying of cancer but it was his birthday and he wanted me to play for him. He didn’t tell anyone I was coming, but I put on my kilt and showed up, and it was quite the reaction from people when they saw me arrive: a big white guy with a skirt on.” This summer, MacLeod and his wife spent the month of August in the Philippines, where he ended up leading a bagpipe workshop at Grace’s alma mater, Davao City High School. MacLeod arrived half an hour early to set up and discovered that the room was already full of about 50 music students. The biggest surprise was the banner that had been specially made in his honour announcing “The First Annual Bagpipe Workshop.” “I had no idea and was surprised by the welcome,” said MacLeod. “I took the pipe out, showed them the reeds, talked about the bag, the decoration, and showed them my sporran and my practice chanter (a small pipe that looks similar to a recorder). “And then I put on my MacLeod tartan kilt over my shorts and played the Philippine national anthem for them. I had some of the kids try and play the pipes and they discovered how tricky they are to play.”

Don MacLeod (right) guides a teacher in the art of playing the bagpipes during a workshop he led for music students and teachers in Davao City, the Philippines. MacLeod’s workshop was so successful that the principal has asked him to return next year to help the school start its own bagpipe program. “We can’t afford to go every year, but she said they would sponsor flights for me, Grace and a snare drum instructor.” The father of three comes from a long family tradition of playing the pipes. His grandfather played back in Scotland, where he lived on the Isle of Eigg.

“I can lose myself in the playing...” — Don MacLeod

“My grandfather emigrated in 1919 and played in the Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders in Winnipeg, and he taught my dad, who was North American champion piper, Fred MacLeod.” Eventually, Fred was lured to the B.C. coast to play for the Powell River Company Band, formed by employees of the pulp mill that eventually became MacMillan Bloedel. “When I started learning to play the pipes, I did not love it at first, but then a kid in Grade 5 said ‘oh, you play the pipes, you should join the Youth Pipe Band,’ so I joined in 1965 in Powell River. “I played into the early ‘70s and then as a teen I lost interest and moved away.” But his interest eventually returned

10-fold and now MacLeod’s pipes can often be heard drifting from the windows of his downtown Vernon apartment. “I love to play. When I’m stressed out about something, there are so many things to think about when you play so you can’t think about anything else. I can lose myself in the playing, especially when I’m playing a piobaireachd (the classical music of the bagpipe).” Two years ago, MacLeod formed the North Okanagan Pipes & Drums, whose 21 members — ranging in age from 15 to 81 — have been kept busy playing a variety of events, including Creative Chaos, the Kelowna Salmon Festival and the Parkinson SuperWalk. When he’s not marching with his band — which includes Grace on tenor drum — MacLeod works as a strength training instructor/personal trainer at the Vernon Recreation Centre and teaches the pipes to students at his home studio. “I love all pipe music and yes, as a piper for hire I have played Amazing Grace and Scotland the Brave a lot. I will have some people request Amazing Grace, telling me it was Granny’s favourite tune, whereas I will have others say ‘whatever you do, don’t play Amazing Grace, it’s too sad.’” The band always welcomes new members. Practices are held Wednesdays at 7 p.m at NOCLS, 2400-46th Ave. For more information, call MacLeod at 250-2601001, see www.pipesndrums.ca or just drop in to the weekly practice.

Women invited to take the challenge Morning Star Staff

Many women today are faced with balancing their busy work lives with their personal lives and often take care of everyone else first. The Making of an Unstoppable Woman seminar challenges women to start putting themselves first with leading a more balanced and healthier lifestyle. This personal empowerment seminar on Oct. 5 is led by Rose Backman and Menza Bouwman at the Best Western Lodge in Vernon, with the aim of inspiring and encouraging women and teaching them techniques to help improve all areas in their lives. “The Making of an Unstoppable Woman is a solid proven process to help you overcome unhealthy beliefs around money, weight and relationship issues,” said Backman. “You’ll be amazed how volunteers on stage shift their unhealthy emotions effortlessly in a matter of seconds. “The steps of forgiveness shifts your life choices and the outcome is a clear mind and a desire for a healthy body.” Backman said participants can expect a room full of empowered women, to

talk, elevate and encourage each other to embrace the power of emotions, changing belief systems and the serenity that comes with embracing their authentic self. Bouwman said women will walk away with a new understanding of their authentic self and a new sense of personal empowerment that will improve all areas of their life. “There are so many personal development programs out there, and they deal with our professional, spiritual, and physical awareness, all with the intent of making sure we have balance in those areas,” she said. “However, one part of our life that is extremely important and that is rarely talked about, let alone mentored is our understanding and embracing the gift and power of our sexual essence and the mental, physical and emotional impact and effects on our daily lives when our authentic sexuality is not honored, nurtured and developed. Women won’t want to miss this very important event.” The day includes a fun fashion show, lunch, prize giveaways and an opportunity to win a pair of Canadian diamond earrings. “We want to thank our event sponsors, Rosebuds Designer Consignment

Don’t miss our open house. It’s where I found my home. HAL HILL, AT CHARTWELL SINCE 2011. CHARTWELL.COM

and JC Bradley Jewellers for their support of authentic empowering of women in our communities,” said Bouwman. A portion of the proceeds from The Making of an Unstoppable Woman will be donated to the Canadian Women’s Foundation. Backman has more than 25 year’s expertise in natural health and her aim is to empower women to stand up for who they are and what they believe in. “As a woman you have immense power and a strong voice,” she said. “If you want to live more honestly, passionately and deeply, this seminar will touch you for a lifetime.” Bouwman’s talent is helping others to explore all areas of their lives that they are inexplicably drawn towards through personal growth and awareness. “Honouring our authentic sexual essence opens the door to truth,” she said. To take The Unstoppable Woman challenge, tickets are $59.95. Special group ticket rates are available for $39.95/ticket for a group of five or more women. Tickets can be purchased by visiting www.authenticallyremarkable.com or contacting Kelly at 778-930-0538.

Eccles. 3:1: “There is a time to every purpose under the heaven.” The slayer of the wicked and the cleansing of the earth by the fiery judgements of God will be followed by a time of restoration and helping. Yahweh is the great physician who satisfies and heals the nations, before the dread leprosy of sin and death. This healing is made possible by the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ on Calvary. This follows the preaching and spiritual ministration of Jesus and the saints.

Volkswagen has had an impressive ride here during the past few years, gaining market share and selling record numbers of cars – its best-selling car being the Jetta. When the last VW Jetta was introduced in 2011, it represented a major shift in the company’s sales philosophy. The decision was to make a larger sedan, yet drop the price to compete right in the 2015 VW Jetta heart of Canada’s compact segment, our largest sales category. With a starting price under $15,000 the Jetta is the biggest car in the compact class, offering a gateway into owning a German car, yet having the space and comfort North Americans expect. For 2015 VW continues with the same philosophy but ups the ante to include new engines, styling and interior amenities.

Looks

Huge homes on rolling farms, with stone fences and colonial designs reminds visitors that this is historic country; Middleburg witnesses action during the Gettysburg campaign of the American Civil War. The Salamander Resort was the backdrop for the introduction, an equestrian themed luxury resort that would make any new car look good. Surrounding it are rolling hills and winding roads, a perfect place to exercise the new suspension and engines in the Jetta. The previous car was recently updated to a full independent suspension and that carries over, as do disc brakes on all four wheels. The big news is a new 1.8L direct injection, turbocharged 4-cylinder with 170hp but an impressive 185 lb.-ft of torque. Speaking of torque, the new TDI diesel engine pumps out a whopping 236 At first glance lb-ft of torque and now comes with “AdBlue” the 2015 Jetta looks exhaust after treatment to improves tailpipe like a warmed over emissions by forty percent.

It would be easy to overlook the substantial updates to this new Jetta because the exterior tweaks are so subtle they need pointing out. The front grille, bumper and headlamps have all been replaced to include a bigger air opening and LED marker lights, plus xenon headlights are available. The back also receives a minor update that includes a new bumper, trunk and tail lamps. With a starting price of $14,990, the Trendline comes with hubcaps on 15-inch wheels. The midlevel $20,090 Comfortline can be equipped with 16-inch update but below the Verdict alloy wheels and the $25,490 Highline is surface is substantial After driving both the new engines back to back fitted with 17-inch alloys.

Getting Dirty in the Ganaraska Forest By Alexandra Straub

Ganaraska Forest, ON. – “Remember, the trees don’t move,” coaches Al Lakas, chief instructor at Trail Tours. These words offer some solace but little consolation to the confines of singe-track riding. Claustrophobia is not a regularly referenced noun in my vocabulary, but when the local fauna and flora of the Ganaraska Forest are a hair’s length from your body, and the trail is inches wider than the handlebars of your bike, it’s hard to ignore. The Medusa-like temptation to fixate on upcoming vegetation must be overcome. If you do happen to focus on them, it could be game over. “Oh, shoot, there’s a stum…” Thud. There goes the front end of your bike and probably you. If you look down, your handlebars might do a jig-like dance, and chances are, that’s where you end up. Down. Breathing through the anxiety is one way of conquering the trails. Another is a strong foundation in riding. But the most important of them all: vision. Before heading out onto the over 300 kilometres of trails nestled within the 11,000 acres of Ganaraska Forest, Trail Tours instructor Al gives my riding partner and I a lesson in a much less confining location. Thank goodness. Nestled in the heart of the seemingly limitless dirt biking and motorized vehicle playground is Trail Tours (www.trailtour.com.) It’s just over an hour’s drive east from Toronto and well worth the short-haul journey. After parking the car and walking a few paces through a trail, the world gets a little brighter. Literally and metaphorically. The sinewy trees – well, in comparison to west coast wood – that lead us to home base doesn’t let in a ton of light, so at the end of the trail, where Trail Tour’s open field training facility stands before me, the sun overflows like a perfectly-iced cake (you can never have too much icing.) Also, I’m going dirt biking. How could that not brighten your day? Whether you’re a first timer or an experienced rider, they have a program for you. Though this wasn’t my first rodeo in terms of dirt riding, it was in regards to single-track. I could use all the tips and tricks I could get. Furthermore, I could always use a little more practice riding in the sand. Yikes. Day 1 of the two-day adventure consisted of making sure the techniques for single-track riding were fresh in our minds. It’s best just to ignore the trees or whatever hazards engulf you and the bike. Acknowledge them, but don’t stare. Otherwise, your fate will likely be sealed. After practicing in the various loops – there are different areas of their facility that cater to different techniques – it was off to the practice trail. Needless to say, I was not setting any speed records but it wasn’t about speed. That comes with time and experience. It was getting used to the fact that I didn’t have a lot of wiggle room and that my mind would want to play tricks on me if I didn’t relax, let the bike and myself breathe, and enjoy the best that machine and Mother Nature have to offer. Day 2 was a game changer. I was so happy that I did some basic skills the day before because I embraced the various tones and textures of the perpetually evolving geography around me.

Drives-U-Crazy

Rocks, gravel, soil, sand (oh, there was a lot of sand), steep inclines, tree stumps, sharp corners, you name it, the Ganaraska Forest has it. Though I didn’t go at it alone. Groups were organized by skill level and were lead by individuals who know that forest like the back of their hand. Heck, I would have been lost after the first two turns. If you found that throughout the day you wanted a more advanced riding, or wanted to take it easier, movement between groups was entirely possible. The name of the game there is safety, with fun at an extremely close second. Challenging yourself, your mind, your body and the bike is all part of the package. And what an incredible way to do it. Trail Tours is open from May until the end of October. Visit www.trailtour.com for more information.

Perhaps if car manufacturers stopped installing self-cancelling turn signals, we would see less rage at the crossroads when a driver realizes it’s not flashing and flicks it on at the green. Am I being naïve in assuming it was mechanical rather than human error? What drives-u-crazy? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Bridge by Phillip Alder ANOTHER TIME TO AVOID THE 4-4 Kate Moss said, “I was definitely living fast. I was working, traveling a lot, playing. I didn’t stop. It all became unbalanced.” In yesterday’s column, we saw a deal in which a 4-4 fit was worse than a 6-3 because there was an inevitable trump loser in the 4-4 fit, but those losers could be discarded if it were a side suit. Today’s deal is another example of one in which the unbalanced fit works better than the balanced, but it is hard to recognize at the table. After South opens one spade and North raises to two spades, it is tempting for South to rebid three hearts.

Perhaps North has raised with three spades and five (or six!) hearts. Here, North would surely raise to four hearts. Whether South is in four spades or four hearts, West does best to lead his fourthhighest club, guaranteeing at least one honor in the suit (or a most unlikely singleton). East takes the trick as cheaply as possible and continues with his original fourth-highest club, which South ruffs. What happens after that? In four spades, declarer continues with the diamond king. West wins and plays a third club. South ruffs, draws two rounds of trumps, cashes the diamond queen, ruffs the diamond three in the dummy, and plays on hearts. Declarer

loses only one spade, one diamond and one club. In four hearts, though, the continued club leads force declarer to ruff twice in his hand, which promotes West’s heart jack to a winner. The defenders take one trick in each suit for down one.

Rural paramedics deal reached tom fletcher Black Press

The B.C. health ministry is aiming to add up to 80 rural ambulance paramedic positions in small communities by combining their duties with local care facilities. Health Minister Terry Lake said the approach to maintain rural ambulance service has been tried for several years, but was hampered by restrictions in the paramedics’ union contract. New contract terms have been worked out with the B.C. Ambulance Service and the ministry is working with other health care representatives to develop what he calls “community para-medicine.” “There are good examples of this in Ontario and other jurisdictions where there are too few calls to have a full-time paramedic,” Lake said in an interview at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Whistler this week. “When that full-time paramedic is not on a call, they can be doing things like helping with services in long-term residential care homes,” said Lake. “They can be going into homes of people who are on home health support, and checking in with the patients – these are often elderly people who have difficulty getting around – and make sure they’re adhering to their treat-

ment plan, that their needs are being met, and if necessary make a recommendation that they should have an inpatient visit at the hospital or with a health care provider.” Lake described the program at a UBCM forum on rural health

care, where he discussed the problems of rural and remote health care with local government representatives. He said his goal is to add 80 positions over the next 18 months, working with local doctors, nurses and residential care providers.

The ambulance service has struggled to maintain rural and remote service with a system of on-call paramedics paid a minimal stand-by rate, and in some cases maintain full-time ambulance staffing in smaller communities.

C HECK I T O UT AT B OOKLAND THE GOLEM OF HOLLYWOOD

A burned-out L.A. detective . . . a woman of mystery who is far more than she seems . . . a grotesque, ancient monster bent on a mission of retribution. When these three collide, a new standard of suspense is born. The legend of the Golem of Prague has endured through the ages, a creature fashioned by a sixteenthcentury rabbi to protect his congregation, now lying dormant in the garret of a synagogue. But the Golem is dormant no longer.
