Water plan review stalls

ARTIST EXTRAORDINAIRE

RICHARD ROLKE

Morning Star Staff

Calls for independent scrutiny of Greater Vernon’s water system have been stalled.

The master water plan stakeholder advisory committee recommended Thursday to the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee that the request for an independent engineering consultant be postponed pending review of the 2012 plan by the stakeholders group.

“It’s not necessary until we understand the plan better,” said Paul Williamson, SAC member.

The request for an independent consultant had come from the Citizens for Changes to the Master Water Plan.

However, Williamson, who made the motion to defer the request, stated that Terry Mooney bringing a consultant on board now could be costly and add complexities to the discussion.

Opposition to the motion came from Terry Mooney, a SAC member and chairperson of the Citizens for Changes to the Master Water Plan.

“The idea behind the request is that a fresh new look of the plan is required,” said Mooney, adding that 1,000 people have signed a petition in favour of a review.

The stakeholder advisory committee was formed after a majority of Greater Vernon residents voted against borrowing $70 million for the plan in 2014.

Mooney says the process that led to the failed referendum must be avoided.

“None of us are an expert on any of these areas. I would not want to see the public disenfranchised from an independent set of eyes and ears,” he said.

“We need advice along the way to discuss technical data.”

Other SAC members, though, pointed out that a peer review of the plan could occur in the future.

“At some stage it may be appropriate to say we hit a dam in moving this forward,” said Robert Evans.

Jim Garlick, Coldstream mayor and SAC chairperson, is hopeful the 18 committee members will be able to be thorough in their deliberations.

“It will all be a fresh, new look because we have new people asking questions,” he said.

Thursday was the inaugural gathering of the SAC and members are trying to familiarize themselves with Greater Vernon’s water system. Numerous requests were made for information, including the price of operating the Kalamalka Lake and Duteau Creek sources.

“On the minds of people I talk to, it’s the cost,” said member Ray Foisy.

Also on Thursday, the committee decided that it wants to hear from a representative of the consulting engineering technical group that developed the 2012 master water plan.

miles and laughter radiated from the volunteers helping out at the United Way’s annual drive-thru breakfast Thursday morning.

As the fog lifted and the sunshine came out, so did the cars lining up at the Best Western Vernon Lodge to show their support for the United Way North Okanagan Columbia Shuswap.

The event raised $9,015 for United Way and its partner service agencies.

Vernon Mayor Akbal Mund handed out bags alongside Lumby Mayor Kevin Acton.

“In Lumby, the United Way is a huge supporter of our community services, including the White Valley Community Resource Centre,” said Acton.

“They support so many organizations that, without their help, would cease to exist. It is great to see the community support,” added Mund.

This year, group orders from local businesses were up, with 200 of the 800 breakfast bags preordered.

“This is the kick-off to our fall campaign and it raises awareness and support for our more than 20 community partners in the region,” said Linda Yule, United Way executive director.

Volunteers worked hard scrubbing car windows, taking coffee orders, accepting donations and handing out bags, keeping the line-up of cars moving so they could make it to their morning destinations.

Cherry Ridge process upsets RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Frustration is growing over proposed logging in the hills above Cherryville.

The provincial B.C. Timber Sales has completed road work on Cherry Ridge and is preparing to auction off three blocks for logging.

“BCTS is going ahead despite our concerns and we haven’t completed our studies,” said Hank Cameron, Cherryville director.

The Regional District of North Okanagan is funding hydrological and slope stability studies on Cherry Ridge because of concerns that logging could ultimately lead to a Hank Cameron landslide.

Residents had hoped BCTS would hold off on selling timber licenses until the studies were completed and the information reviewed.

“There hasn’t been a hydrological study done on Cherry Creek,” said Cameron.

However, BCTS officials have previously insisted that geological and hydrological studies have been conducted and the road and logging pose no threat to the community.

The agency says that as part of road construction, three culverts have been replaced with bridges ‡ ‡ ‡ ‡ to increase fish habitat passage.

The three-block timber sale license will be MODELS EQUIPPED issued this fall.

An ongoing concern from Cherryville residents is what they believe is a lack of BCTS consultation with the community over harvesting.

However, the agency stated in an e-mail that, “B.C. Timber Sales has been in continued contact with Cherry Ridge Management Committee for input into final operational plans.”

Cameron insists the community will remain vigilant about logging on Cherry Ridge and present its hydrological and slope studies to the provincial government.

“We are taking the high road. We really think we are in the right on this,” he said.

Regional Board Highlights September 2015 New Planning Service Agreements

The Regional Board has received a report announcing the approval of new five year planning services agreements with each of the member municipalities. Each agreement outlines the cost sharing and boundaries for voting participation in RDCO Electoral Area Planning Service effective January 1st, 2016. The new agreements provide the municipalities with the ability to vote on land use applications within a defined Fringe Planning Area in the Electoral Areas.

Crystal Ski and Golf Resort

The Regional Board has agreed to a final, one year extension to the rezoning application from the proponents of Crystal Ski and Golf Resort. The Board granted previous extension requests to provide the proponents additional time to secure financing to move ahead with the proposed rezoning of Phase 1 of the resort development. If the application doesn’t proceed by September 10th next year, it will lapse and the rezoning file will be closed.

Election ballot finalized Morning Star Staff

Only four names will appear on the North Okanagan-Shuswap ballot Oct. 19.

As of the close of nominations Monday, Elections Canada reported that no additional individuals had put themselves forward to run in the federal election.

The candidates are Conservative Mel Arnold, Liberal Cindy Derkaz, Green Chris George and Jacqui Gingras, with the NDP. Advance polls will be held throughout North Okanagan-Shuswap Oct. 9 to 12 and polling stations will be set up throughout the region on general voting day, Oct. 19.

Don’t Let Your Windows Leave You In A Fog 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.

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.

If you got this card, you’re ready to vote!

JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

Residents living in poverty, and advocates tired of declining support, shared their frustrations with Okanagan-Shuswap MP candidates Tuesday.

And candidates, except Conservative Mel Arnold who declined to attend, shared their plans at the inaugural Independent Living Vernon forum at the People Place Tuesday evening.

A guaranteed livable income of $20,000 for every person over 18 is the Green plan.

“Poverty is the root and we need to strike it,” said Chris George, Green party candidate.

A 10 per cent increase to the guaranteed income supplement (including seniors) and a child benefit lifting 315,000 kids out of poverty is a Liberal promise.

“This isn’t pie in the sky stuff,” said Cindy Derkaz, Liberal candidate.

Increasing the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour and getting funds out of the hands of the upper class and into the lower class by raising the corporate tax rate by two per cent is the New Democrat Party plan.

“The cost of living is going up and the amount that people are asked to live on stays and in some cases is decreasing,” said Jacqui Gingras.

Affordable housing was another hot topic.

“We not only like to take care of people, we like to take care of where they live,” said Gingras, whose party would adopt a national housing strategy and help low-income households become more energyefficient.

Derkaz says the Liberals have a plan to build infrastructure with one-third of the money going into social infrastructure.

“Affordable housing is key to good health, key to good mental health and it also gets jobs rolling,” she said.”

George says the Greens have a plan to get funds directly to municipalities as part of its national housing strategy, which also plans to raise the corporate tax rate by four per cent.

“You also need the programs that allow people to stay in their homes comfortably.”

Think outside the bra

s a sea of pink is about to take over October, marking Breast Cancer Awareness Month, another colour is fading out.

Teal is the official colour of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, which was September.

While both are equally devastating female cancers, breast cancer has just a tad more publicity. In fact, more than 100,000 people across Canada will be lacing up Sunday for the annual CIBC Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation Run for the Cure. Vernon is among the 61 locations taking part, with our local survivors and supporters gathering at Marshall Field Sunday Jennifer Smith around 9:30 a.m. for the event. Registrations start at 8:30, and no, it’s not too late to take part, volunteer or donate.

It’s never too late to support such a valuable cause.

Along with the run, October will be splashed with pink events focused on the cause. But women’s cancer is not always pink.

Ovarian cancer does not impact as many women as breast cancer, but it is still a deadly disease. As is cervical, uterine and all forms of cancer.

There is no screening for ovarian cancer, there are no runs or walks for ovarian cancer, and there isn’t a lot of knowledge about it.

We didn’t know much about it either when my mom was diagnosed more than six years ago. And we still didn’t know that much when she eventually died almost two years ago.

They call it the silent killer, and I think that’s exactly why – because no one knows about it.

We’ve all been educated about breast cancer, heard the stories, raised funds for our local mammography unit, been taught about the importance of self-checks. But when it comes to ovarian, uterine and many other

The acronym is ironic since about half of women diagnosed with the disease will die from it. According to Canadian Cancer Society statistics, 2,800 Canadian women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2015 and 1,750 women will die from it this year.

But those numbers are still no where near the incidence of breast cancer. CCS says 25,000 women will be diagnosed in 2015 and 5,000 women will die.

No matter how you look at the numbers, the type of cancer or who it affects, they are sickening.

Cancer kills, we all know it. Statistics show that out of all deaths in 2011 in Canada, 29.9 per cent were from cancer. That’s more than heart disease, accidents and suicide combined.

Look around at three people near you, one out of four people is expected to be a victim of cancer.

Despite these chilling statistics, there are efforts being made daily to fight the deadly disease.

Events such as the Run for the Cure are leaders in that fight as they raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in each community towards research geared at finding a cure. And the efforts haven’t been for naught as research saves lives. But it’s not just about chasing the dream of a cure. Funds are essential in breast health education, studentships, community health grants and more.

The Canadian Cancer Society is having the same impact.

So whether you’re sporting pink, teal, gold (childhood cancer) or any other colour of the rainbow, on Sunday or any day, we are all in this fight together.

A cure for this nasty disease may never be found, but with education, research and a team approach, we have a chance at fighting back.

In a recent e-mail, the Ministry of Forests states that, “B.C. Timber Sales has been in continued contact with Cherry Ridge Management Committee for input into final operational plans.”

But while the agency is confident that it has consulted fully with Cherryville residents over proposed logging on Cherry Ridge, the words ring hollow.

If the government was truly interested in working with the residents and addressing concerns about possible landslides, it would have delayed any action on the ridge until the community had completed geological and hydrological studies the Regional District of North Okanagan is paying for.

Instead, BCTS has pushed ahead with construction of the logging road and is preparing to auction three blocks for harvesting this fall. What this says is that BCTS is not interested in co-operation with the residents and no further information will get it to budge from its standpoint that the slope is safe and logging presents no risk to residents in the valley below.

And nobody can fault the residents for being concerned as there is a history of slides in the area, including one in 2012, which occurred next to two of the timber blocks up for sale.

In the end, the community’s studies may show that the future potential risk for slides is minimal and BCTS has done its homework.

However, one has to question why there is such a rush to sell timber licenses. Is the government that desperately in need of cash that delaying the process to fully alleviate public concerns would create challenges?

The right thing would be for BCTS to put its activities on hold until Cherryville has wrapped up its studies this year.

A path to better health

have been using the new bike lanes on 29th Street, from the Village Green Centre to near Seaton school, quite often recently as well as the bike lanes on 20th Street by Harwood Elementary and I am really enjoying being off the car-travelled section of the road.

The shade has added to the pleasure. I look forward to the day soon when I have a direct path that I can use all the way to Polson Park.

Thank you to the staff and mayor and council at the City of Vernon for the vision in making these bike lanes possible for all of us now and long into the future.

We all should be more active for our health and happiness and

the new paths are a very positive move in this direction.

The off-road lanes make my

FULL-TIME WORK NEEDED Increasing minimum wage is needed to help low-income families? Really? How does that help when any cost increase is just passed on to the consumer?

Why are journalists continually parroting government and business story lines on this topic.

This is a sad state of affair at the best of times, but in the middle of an election, surely somebody has to have the wherewithal to come forward, do some research, and ask the hard questions? Now is the best time to find and elect candidates that will work to find fair solutions for everyone.

From talking to people first hand, it would seem that the real issue isn’t dollars per hour but rather the lack and or disappearance of full-time jobs with benefits.

I am in no way suggesting that increasing the minimum wage is a bad idea.

However, I expect if someone were to dig further, they would confirm that most jobs paying minimum wage are part-time jobs without benefits, and, that most of these part-time jobs used to be full time.

One doesn’t have to look far to identify jobs that used to provide people with a livelihood.

These jobs have now become part-time positions with no benefits.

Businesses claim they can’t afford to hire people full-time and that any increase in minimum wage will further reduce the number of people they can employ. The reality is more likely that under the current loophole-filled labour laws, businesses, especially in certain industries, are

travels and those of cycling families a much more pleasant experience.

stuck having to match their competitors hiring practices to stay in business.

The concept of part-time was never intended to become a mainstay way for businesses to run.

The only way to fix this issue is through government changes to the labour laws.

I am certain if there was a fair playing field where everyone has to follow the same rules, then businesses will be forced to restore traditional full-time jobs.

From my perspective, any business that has its doors open during regular business hours or for seven or more hours a day, should be providing full-time employment to their employees during those hours. Part-time work was intended to fill hours after regular hours.

Restoring full-time employment with benefits makes more sense to help people out of poverty then just bumping the minimum hourly wage.

T. Rudersdorfer DOWNTOWN DILEMMA I'm in full agreement with David.

Downtown Vernon is a diamond in the rough.

The incredible potential is simply passing us by.

Everything a tourist could possibly want for a holiday is right here in Vernon.

Yet we seem to be living in the stone age — an embarrassment for the people who represent Vernon. The same goes for parking meters. Some merchants are willing to pay the fee.

Wake up those who are in charge. Stop and smell the roses. David has a very good point.

Sorina Jonker

The safety benefits too are already noticed by those in direct contact with the next generation.

Many more students at Harwood Elementary are walking and cycling and not being driven, because of the 20th Street road changes, making parents a lot happier about their child’s safety.

The road narrowing also makes it safer for everyone, not just students and cyclists, since drivers slow down to a more moderate, calm speed.

I understand some now say that sitting in our cars is the new smoking in relation to our health.

Easy to get more exercise on the new paths.

USING HUMOUR John Cleese, the legendary English actor, comedian, and tall person, said people in power can’t abide being made fun of because humour shreds their solemn pomposity, pierces their shield of aloofness and bursts their bubble of selfimportance.

Cleese also said humour can sometimes be devastating at a particular point, where an authoritarian system is beginning to crumble.

That was the impetus behind the following jokes: Q1: Why did Stephen Harper run and hide in his closet? A1: Because he was afraid of the truth. Q2: Why did Stephen run back out of his closet? A2: Because he was even more afraid of the skeletons inside.

Perhaps Canada has reached that point Cleese mentioned. Perhaps the time has come for Canadians to laugh and jeer Harper out of office.

Lloyd Atkins HARNESS THAT TRACK I came up with a new idea for the race track area. I was involved with a harness horse a few years ago at the Cloverdale raceway.

When the thoroughbreds started running at Hastings Park in Vancouver, the harness horses would go to Sidney on Vancouver Island to race in the summer.

So why can't we look into harness racing here in Vernon?

It sure would draw people here.

A local company will build the long-awaited expansion on the Armstrong Spallumcheen fire hall.

REGIONAL DISTRICT OF NORTH OKANAGAN NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

Notice is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held in the Board Room of the Regional District of North Okanagan, 9848 Aberdeen Road, Coldstream, BC on Wednesday, October 7, 2015 at 4:00 p.m. to hear representations on the following matter[s]:

REZONING BYLAW NO. 2689, 2015 [HOLLENBACH] Location:

7616 McLennan Road, Electoral District ‘C’

Legal Description: Lot 23, Sec 25, Twp 8, ODYD, Plan 1956 Except Plans 8464 and KAP83894 Owner(s) Applicant:

Klaus and Sonja Hollenbach

Present Zoning:

Non-Urban [N.U.] Zone

Proposed Zoning:

Country Residential [C.R.] Zone / Non-Urban [N.U.] Zone

Purpose:

To rezone a 4.8 ha portion of the above described property from Non-Urban [N.U.] Zone to Country Residential [C.R.] Zone. If approved, the applicant is proposing to subdivide the C.R. zoned portion of the property into two (2) lots.

Armstrong’s Maddocks Construction has been awarded the tender for the project.

Its bid of $1,575,764 was the lowest of two bids received.

“This fire hall renovation has been in the works for a long time and we are going to make the 40-plus members of our fire department extremely happy with this announcement,” said Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper.

In addition to the construction costs, the project includes professional fees calculated as a percentage of the total construction costs.

Based on the bid from Maddocks Construction, the total project cost would be estimated at $1,924,130.

The original estimated total project cost from last September was $1,735,970, a difference of $188,160 (the Township of Spallumcheen’s share would be 60 per cent of the difference, or $112,896 while the City of Armstrong’s share would be 40 per cent or $75,264).

The township voted Monday to use funds from its unallocated capital infrastructure reserve to make up its share of the difference.

Armstrong council was given three options by chief financial officer Terry Martens to come up with the $75,000-plus.

Council members voted unanimously to use prior years’ surplus funds (of which $265,000 is currently

“It meets the standards that weren’t in place 36 years ago.”

— Chris Pieper

available).

“While these funds are normally held for more urgent situations, in this case, there still would be a reasonable amount left for such purposes if utilized for the fire hall,” said Martens in a report to city council.

Work on the expansion is expected to commence in the coming weeks and should be completed in the summer of 2016.

“This project does not, by any means, make a Taj Mahal,” said Pieper.

“It meets the standards that weren’t in place 36 years ago when the fire hall was built.

“There will be a place to finally hang the fire hoses without crawling up ladders, more training rooms, more space for the fire trucks; they won’t have to park one sideways and one lengthways to get in the fire hall.”

Noisy shrimp boats investigated RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

➝

The City of Vernon is delving through bureaucracy to determine its role in a noise complaint.

Concerns have been raised from some residents about noise allegedly coming from a barge fishing mysis shrimp on Okanagan Lake.

“It’s licensed by provincial fisheries (department) to be on the lake and do what they are doing,” Clint Kanester, the city’s protective services manager, told

“We’re not sure if our bylaw would be applicable.”

— Clint Kanester

council Monday.

Beyond the provincial government, federal regulations also apply to the lake.

“We’re not sure if our (noise) bylaw would be applicable because it’s a barge and not a

boat per se.”

City staff will investigate the issue further and report back to council.

However, Coun. Juliette Cunningham isn’t pleased that provincial and federal officials apparently haven’t been making themselves available to residents.

“It would be frustrating for a resident who has concerns not to get a response from the appropriate agency,” she said.

The shrimp fishery company could not be reached for comment.

Redevelopment of the former Kokanee Lodge is taking place on Sugar Lake, near Cherryville.

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Marina plan makes waves RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Redevelopment of a Cherryville area resort could include boat moorage.

Sugar Lake Development, which purchased Kokanee Lodge in February, has applied to the provincial government to construct a 30-slip marina.

“We are doing everything according to provincial regulations,” said a company spokesperson, who asked not to be identified.

“We want to do everything properly.”

The marina would replace an old dock, and some Cherryville residents have raised concerns about the scope of the resort development and boat traffic on the lake.

“I would like to appeal to the new owners to join with our community in being fine stewards of Sugar Lake, and to have policy in place to manage their residents and guests in a way that is fitting with the natural and clean beauty they are being blessed with to enjoy,” said resident Debbee Werner.

The marina proposal was discussed at the Regional District of North Okanagan’s Cherrville advisory planning committee meeting Monday.

“We are not opposed to it but we want some conditions,” said Hank Cameron, director.

It’s been suggested that a log boom be installed to manage marina access and reduce boat speed.

The marina would not have fuel sales, but Cameron would also like to see efforts taken to reduce lake contamination from people using gas cans to fill up their boats.

Cameron admits there are positive aspects to constructing a marina.

“People need somewhere to tie their boats up.

The people who own the resort have been cooperative and we want a good neighbour policy.”

According to the development company spokesperson, a marina would alleviate some challenges.

“It will be a place for site owners to leave their boats so they don’t have to pull them in at night,” he said.

A biologist has been hired to look at fish habitat where the marina would be built.

Ten slips would initially be constructed and the remainder built as resort sites are sold.

There are 67 sites at the resort and some cabins are currently under construction.

“We are trying to make it into something for families,” said the spokesperson.

Water and sewer services are being pursued for the resort.

“We’ve worked extensively with various govern-

ment ministries and the regional district,” said the company spokesperson.

“The community will benefit by increasing tourism ad tax base. We want to be strong members of the community.”

The Ministry of Forests is accepting public input on the marina application until Nov. 1.

College enrolment rises

NOTICE

Morning Star Staff

Fall enrolment numbers are showing that Okanagan College is headed for an 11th straight year of exceeding government targets for student enrolment.

Information from mid-September indicates an overall increase in student numbers of about 5.9 per cent: 6,967 in 2015 compared to 6,577 in 2014. That includes students registered in degree, diploma and certificate programs, as well as those registered in trades, vocational and upgrading programs.

“Helping fuel that number is a significant growth in international student numbers.

“It’s important to note that the mid-September numbers tell only part of the year’s story for Okanagan College. There are trades, vocational, and continuing studies programs that commence at different times through the fall and into January and early 2016. The complete enrolment picture won’t be known until well into the spring of 2016.”

Each of the four major campuses showed growth from last fall to this fall, with Salmon Arm reporting 5.2 per cent growth (16 additional students, total 319 in 2015), Kelowna with 7.6 per cent (327 more students, total 4,622), Penticton with 2.8 per cent (793 up from 771) and Vernon showing 1.8 per cent growth (783 in 2015, up from 769 last year at the same time).

Significant growth was seen in the college’s business portfolio, with combined academic and vocational programs showing a 7.8 per cent growth (1,821 students compared to 1,689 in 2014).

There was also notable growth in the college’s technology programs, including computer information systems: total enrolment in that area grew by 10 per cent, from 461 in 2014 to 509 in 2015.

Enrolment in the trades area, including foundation-level and apprenticeship programs, has also shown seven per cent growth year-over-year, to 780 students as of Sept. 19.

Relationship renewed with UBCO Morning Star Staff

An educational partnership between the Okanagan Nation Alliance and the University of B.C., first signed on the eve of UBC Okanagan’s opening in 2005, has been renewed.

The memorandum reflects mutual recognition of the importance of a long-term relationship between UBC Okanagan and the indigenous people of the Southern Interior.

“Ten short years after opening the doors, this campus has been transformed and much thanks for that goes to the warm welcome UBC received right here in the valley,” said Martha Piper, UBC interim president.

The memorandum of understanding constitutes UBC’s formal recommitment to this relationship and to the education of aboriginal students, says Piper.

“Our commitment today is embodied in our aboriginal centre, dedicated to enriching the quality of the experience for Robert Louie aboriginal students, by promoting access, providing capacity-building opportunities and celebrating success.”

To commemorate the partnership,

Changes focus of science talk Morning Star Staff

Environmental changes such as rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, melting Arctic sea ice, unusual extreme weather patterns and outof-the-norm jet stream behaviour have scientists questioning the relationship between these observations.

Richard Hebda, curator of botany and earth history at the Royal B.C. Museum, will explore what can be done to adjust to coming changes at the Science in Society Speaker Richard Hebda Series at Okanagan College’s Vernon campus Oct. 13 at 7:30 p.m.

“Ever-evolving impact models clearly reveal that ecological transformation on a continental scale is on its way,” said Hebda.

“It is vital that we strive to understand what defines the ecological integrity of our ecosystems and embed those characteristics in their management.”

Admission to the event is $7 in advance or $10 at the door. For advanced tickets, call the Okanagan Science Centre at 250-545-3644.

Presented jointly by Okanagan College and the Okanagan Science Centre, the Science in Society Speaker Series is sponsored by the Best Western Vernon Lodge, Starbucks Coffee, Cooper’s Foods, and The Morning Star.

UBC will work with the Okanagan Nation Alliance to commission a work of art by an Okanagan Nation artist, and will install the art in a prominent place at the Okanagan campus.

“We have come a long way together, and we have a very strong working relationship with this campus,” said Westbank First Nation Chief Robert Louie, who signed the agreement on behalf of the Okanagan Nation chiefs executive council.

“We work together in co-operation and friendship to promote academic excellence for all of our students. It makes us proud to see the achievements and to know that the Okanagan Syilx people are part of that.”

Paul Martin’s Liberal government was defeated shortly after the conference in 2005 and Stephen Harper took power. The Kelowna Accord was never fully implemented, with the Conservatives saying while they agreed with the goals of the accord, they did not agree with the funding associated with it.

According to Baker, the relationship between First Nations groups and the federal government took a serious hit with the changes to the accord. Baker says while the issue of moving forward with First Nations concerns is complex, all it really is going to take is commitment from senior levels of government to fund muchneeded help to First Nations groups.

“It could be done in very quick time if the federal and provincial government would put their minds to reconciling it,” said Baker.

“There are issues that need to be addressed with funding and the ability for bands to man-

age their own affairs. It has been simply shown that if bands are given access to the resources they have had for tens of thousands of years they are able to manage them.”

Baker says First Nations groups should have been given fair treatment many years ago but instead of allowing them to prosper, the federal government viewed Indians as a people that needed to be looked after like children instead of equal playing partners.

But when given the chance, he said many bands have found success and prosperity.

“Where band leaders have been able to get concessions from the federal or provincial government to tap into their resources, whether that be logging, mining or natural gas, they have shown they can manage their affairs to a much better extent than when they can only do things through Ottawa,” said Baker. “It’s hard enough for local government to get things out of Ottawa, never mind non-government groups.”

Baker said a commitment is needed to allow First Nations self-government and the ability to prosper.

“They certainly are able to manage their self-government because they had selfgovernment as individual bands and even as tribal associations for thousands of years and were able to make a living from the land,” said Baker. “They should still be able to but in a different manner now — in manufacturing, mining or logging, not as hunters and gatherers.”

St. Andrew’s United Church in Enderby is raising funds for an elevator. The goal is to make the facility accessible.

Church looking for lift Morning Star Staff

An Enderby church is stepping out in faith to promote increased accessibility.

St. Andrew’s United wants to install an elevator/lift in the historic building but help is needed from the wider community.

“The project will cost an estimated $69,000.

We are $7,500 short,” said Lorraine Powell, accessibility project committee member.

“In addition to this, a major part of the roof needs to be repaired at an estimated cost of $9,000.

To date, $25,000 has come from the federal government, $5,000 from the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan, $2,000 from the Enderby Lions Club and $29,5000 from St. Andrew’s congregation.

“It is home to the Enderby and District Community Resource Centre, the Enderby Food Bank, Joy of Music School and the meeting place for AA, Al anon, the community garden, MacKenzie Camp Society, a local drama group, and many organizations who use the building for meetings and workshops, weddings and celebrations of life,” said Powell.

The building is not accessible for people with wheelchairs, walkers and strollers and the groceries required to be carried in and out for the food bank present a challenge.

“At times, food bank recipients have to be interviewed outdoors,” said Powell.

CrossFit Vernon will hold an open house Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. at its new location, 1935-11th Ave.

CrossFit hosts fundraiser Morning Star Staff

CrossFit Vernon is excited about its new home.

The Vernon gym will hold a grand opening and special fundraiser Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. at its new location, 1935-11th Ave. Owner Jeremy Meredith opened the gym in a 900-square-foot facility in 2010. He and his girlfriend, Deanna Fester, have now expanded that to 6,400-square-feet with the new location.

The grand opening will feature food vendors, vendor booths, prizes and activities such as the always popular burpees (and a prize for the most in four minutes) as well as prizes for fastest 500-metre row and prowler push.

At 3 p.m., the gym will host a special fundraiser for Kelowna resident Cole Bernier, who was seriously injured in a workplace accident and is recuperating at a Vancouver hospital.

Meredith has been Bernier’s mentor for the past couple of years, and Bernier is a great friend of CrossFit Vernon.

Meredith was also Bernier’s coach for the 2015 CrossFit regionals, and created his workout program which assisted in Bernier qualifying for a spot amongst the top-25 men in Tacoma (Meredith and Fester both competed in Tacoma in June, beating out tens of thousands of athletes in the west to be in the top-25 men and women to qualify).

The fundraiser is a partner workout to raise money for Bernier’s recovery and family’s expenses while they are with him in Vancouver for the next couple months.

The workout includes a five-kilometre row, 250 wall balls, 150 burpees and 75 clean-and-jerks (Olympic weightlifting movement).

The aim to complete the reps with a partner as fast as possible and with the best quality of movement.

Those who can’t make it to the open house but would like to donate to Bernier’s recovery can do so at gofundme.com/bernierstrong.

Fester will be representing the gym and Vernon at the world powerlifting championships this month in Virginia Beach, Va.

Starry rinks chasing $54,000 KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

In between greeting teams here for the $54,000 Prestige Hotels & Resorts Curling Classic, Olympic ice maker Dave Merklinger was trying to recruit one more player for his own rink.

The colourful Vernon Curling Club manager had lined up Kevin Geistlinger at third and John Slattery at lead at press time Thursday.

“My second is to be announced,” deadpanned Merklinger, who opens the men’s side against Dean Joanisse of New Westminster.

“I’m a senior so our strategy will be a nice soft game with lots of draws and gentle takeouts, just like my chipping on the golf course.”

Joanisse, who has former Salmon Arm productPaul Cseke at third, claimed $2,600 after dispatching Chase Martyn of New West in the Cloverdale Cashspiel two weekends ago. Martyn is also in the Vernon spiel.

Joanisse will try and copy Grant Dezura of Maple Ridge, who rolled the Cloverdale-Vernon double last year.

The men’s event opens today at 4:30 p.m. Vernon phenom Jim Cotter – the 2012 Prestige winner – is one of four teams to receive a first-round bye, thanks to their points total on the World Curling Tour.

Cotter’s crew of Ryan Kuhn, Ty Griffith and Rick Sawatsky, play tonight at 9:30 versus the winner of a game between Dezura and Vernon’s youthful foursome of Thomas Love, who is backed by third Erik Colwell, second Brendan Chapple and lead Johnathan Schwartz.

The men’s field also includes current Canadian champion Pat Simmons of Calgary (with former Cotter member John Morris at third). Simmons also received a bye, as did Brady Clark of Seattle and Yusuke Morozumi of Japan.

Stead steers Chargers to college golf glory Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Brady Stead helped the Camosun College Chargers men’s golf team clinch their third consecutive PACWEST tournament win at the Camosun Invitational at Bear Mountain in Victoria.

Stead, a fifth-year player, shot rounds of 67 and 70 to finish in second place, one stroke behind teammate Jeff Riches of Victoria, who was making his Chargers debut.

“I put in a lot of work on my mental game this summer and I’ve been sticking to that

routine,” said Stead. “It’s been paying off huge for me.”

Riches tied for the low round on both days, matching Stead’s score of 67 on Day 1 and Connor O’Dell’s (University of Fraser Valley Cascades) 69 stroke total on Day 2.

Fourth-year Chargers veteran Grant Maskiewich of Smithers shot a pair of 70s to place fifth while while Mac Keats (Cochrane, Alta.) tied for ninth with 145 (73 + 72).

“It was great to play an event at our home course and the guys played well,” said Chargers head coach John Randle.

“Jeff Riches came up big for us with his win and having Brady and Grant (Maskiewich) also in the top five paced us to a great win and a healthier lead going into the last weekend.”

The Chargers won the two-day event with a team total of 554. UFV was second with 575 and the University of BC-Okanagan Heat placed third with 580.

Heading into the final week of PACWEST competition with a staggering 47 stroke lead, Camosun maintains its ranking as the No. 1 squad in Canada.

Stead leads the men’s individual standings with a three-event total of 428. He has shot an average score of 71.33 in six rounds.

Keats is in a three-way tie for second in the individual standings with 434, Maskiewich is sixth at 437 and Matt Matheson of West Vancouver is tied for eighth at 447.

“The team depth we have this year is probably the best since I’ve been here,” said Stead. “Our new guy (Riches) comes in and wins the tournament. We’re looking forward to wrapping up the season in Chilliwack and hopefully heading on to nationals.”

Maroons get past Coyotes

Bantams post three victories

Morning Star Staff

The Sun Valley Source for Sports Vipers opened the exhibition Bantam Tier 2 hockey season with three wins last weekend.

The Sun Valley crew ambushed Kamloops A2 Blazers 16-1 Friday night at Kal Tire Place before edging the visiting Penticton Vees 4-3 Saturday afternoon and blanking Kelowna Pursuit of Excellence Varsity 9-0 Sunday at Prospera Place.

Head coach Brad Teale and assistant Dean McAmmond are pleased with the skill and commitment of this year’s top Bantam players.

“We’ll be an exciting team to watch, and we hope to have some success this season” said Teale.

The Sun Valley Bantams play their first tournament of the year this weekend in Kelowna, and have just been accepted into the KIBIHT tournament in Kamloops starting New Year’s Eve. The Vernon Fix Auto Bantam Tier 3 Vipers opened their pre-season with a 2-2 draw with the Winfield Bruins.

Girlhood days in the OK

O

ver the past few columns I have been looking at the Okanagan Valley’s “first families,” the marriage of white settlers with Native women and their mixed-race families.

One of these families was the Swallwells.

George Simpson was born in Philadelphia of Scottish Presbyterian parents and married a Native Okanagan woman.

Their daughter Eliza Jane Swalwell, looked back at her childhood in an account of her “Girlhood Days in the Okanagan.” “I Ken Mather remember this valley when everything was in a wild state, before there was any wagon road and everything had to be brought in by pack-train, and all our dishes were of tin, and we baked bread and pies and roasted meat in a Dutch oven…”

To those children of mixed race families, there was no feeling that they were in some way different. In fact, the vast majority of families in the Okanagan were of this type.

The valley was cattle country in those days of the 1870s and first half of the 1880s and lay unfenced from one end to the other. Eliza recalled the beauty of the valley: “To me it was an exquisite pleasure as a girl to ride over this green and gracious pasture land in the mornings, and to see it stretching before me for miles with the Sand Rose lying scattered on the ground as if a fairy princess had passed that way at dawn and children had strewn flowers in her path, and to see the sunlight on the hills. On such occasions I have sometimes seen things, or rather sensed something, so serene and beautiful that it left me weak and weeping as I sat in the saddle.”

Life was not all fun, though. All the children in these families pitched in to help with the ranch work and girls were not exempt: “Before the arrival of the wagon road everyone had to learn to ride, as it was the only means of getting anywhere, and we girls were all proficient horsewom-

Clinics unite Morning Star Staff

The owners and operators of walk-in health clinics across British Columbia have formed a new association, Walk-In Clinics of B.C., to represent their collective business interests, as well as the interests of physicians and others who work in and with the clinics.

“This is a time of tremendous change for the province’s health sector,” said Mike McLoughlin, the founding director of the new association.

“This is true for patients, physicians, nurses and other health-care workers, as well as those who have made significant financial investments in approximately 300 walk-in clinics operating in every corner of British Columbia.”

McLoughlin, and his wife, Dr. Sue McLoughlin, a recently-retired family physician who practised for 25 years, have co-owned Medi-Kel Family Practice & Walk In Clinic in Kelowna since 2001.

“We believe that an enhanced role for walk-in clinics is one solution to many of the ongoing challenges facing B.C’s health-care sector, especially in regards to the availability of physicians – or lack thereof – for families and individuals who do not have their own primary-care doctor,” said McLoughlin.

en. We could round up a band of horses, drive them into a corral, rope the one we wanted and saddle him up as expertly as a man could do it …

The two great events of the year were the coming of the cattle buyers in May and September. They usually sent word ahead to let us know they were coming, and then we all got busy, and everyone, girls as well as men, assisted in the round-up. On these occasions we girls felt that we were coming into our own. We could handle a horse about as well as the men, and we could show them that we amounted to something more than a mere nuisance about the place, as they sometimes seemed to think we were.”

Bridge by Phillip Alder TRY TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE IT ANYWAY Ring Lardner, a sports columnist and short story writer who died in 1933, said, “A good many young writers make the mistake of enclosing a stamped, selfaddressed envelope, big enough for the manuscript to come back in. This is too much of a temptation to the editor.”

In this deal, South has to find a way to tempt an opponent to help him - how?

South is in four hearts.

West cashes his three top spades, then shifts to a diamond.

South should open one heart. That 11-point hand is stronger than many 13-counts. West might have made a takeout double (better than a one-spade

overcall, despite that suit’s strength). North used the Jacoby Forcing Raise: at least four-card heart support and game-forcing values. South’s threediamond rebid showed a singleton (or void) in that suit and any point range.

(You could keep it simple, sensible, with natural rebids. Here, South would rebid four hearts to indicate a minimum.)

Some pairs lead the queen from ace-king-queen, asking partner to give count. Then, an ace-lead is from only the ace-king.

It is easy for declarer to cash his heart ace at trick five - and then grumble about bad luck when West discards. However, a resourceful South would cross to dummy with a club

and lead the heart jack.

Maybe East will be tempted to cover; or he might take ages thinking about it.

Either way, declarer makes his contract despite the 3-0 trump split.

Finally, if East plays low smoothly, South wins with his ace and, against most opponents, will find the trumps breaking 2-1.

Heritage fair moves ahead Morning Star Staff

After a few year hiatus, the Vernon Heritage Fair will be making a return.

The event will be hosted by the North Okanagan Optimist Club and school fair winners will advance to the Vernon fair. Selected entrants then will go on to the regional competition in Kelowna.

“One of the great things about projects like the heritage fair is it goes beyond just a show and tell,” said Donald Jefcoat, North Okanagan Optimist Club vice-president.

“It truly does bring out their best.”

Pat Simmons, who was the organizer of the fair for many years with the museum, is part of the planning process for the return of the fair.

“When our fair committee sat down for the first time, we were excited to see her at the table,” said Jefcoat.

“It’s a given we need this valuable resource leading and guiding us. When asked if she would mentor our steps, she was more then happy to accept.”

Simmons will be going around to schools within the next few weeks to drop off information about the stamp contest, which is open to youth in Grades 4 to 7.

Youth are asked to design a stamp around the theme of Canadian

heritage. The winner will have their stamp placed on the T-shirts fair participants receive and they will also receive $50 from the Optimist Club.

There will be honourable mentions

awarded and they will receive a set of cards with their stamp on it.

We’re delighted to announce that Brietana Finch has now officially assumed management of the Nexgen Hearing clinic from her predecessor, Brenda Bone who has recently retired to spend more time with her family.

Brietana was born and raised in Vernon, BC and began her experience in the hearing health profession as a Customer Care Representative. With a new zeal to advance her career, Brie then attended Grant MacEwan University and soon graduated from the Hearing Aid Practitioner (HIP) program.

Recently married, Brietana loves to keep active with soccer, volleyball and other outdoor activities. When she isn’t out fishing or hiking you most likely find her baking. As she puts it; “I love my new ‘career in caring’! Helping my clients hear well again is just the cherry on the top!”

Imagery to reflect the season

Tea For 20

Morning Star Staff

Shane Melenko for The Morning STar

Jeff Martin, singer/guitarist with Canadian rock band The Tea Party, plays songs from the band’s iconic album The Edges of Twilight. The Tea Party brought the 20th anniversary tour of the album’s release to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Tuesday.

October brings a colourful palette with the changing of the seasons and Gallery Vertigo’s newest art exhibition will reflect that with two featured artists this month.

Well known as one of the experts behind the photography counter at London Drugs in Vernon, Murray Robertson is displaying some of his best images in the exhibition, Quiet Splendour.

“I draw inspiration from the beauty around me in the quiet splendour of natural landscapes: lakes, mountains, orchards, vineyards and fields that surround my home in Coldstream,” said Robertson. “I enjoy sharing my discoveries of scenic nature: the silent inner beauty of the hearts of flowers, the small bits of nature

that we never have time to see, and hope you will enjoy them too.”

Gallery Vertigo also presents what is possibly Vernon’s first Instagram exhibition with images captured by photographer and social media expert Donna Mair.

Mair’s Instagram images, combined with larger works, are a stark contrast of nature in both urban and rural settings – fueling that age old debate, city vs. country.

“I wanted to capture the essence of nature in an urban setting, to show that city dwellers can also take time to smell the roses and find treasures in their neighbourhoods as easily as country folk can,” said Mair. “The age old debate will never be won, and never go away – each thinks

iMage by Murray roberTSon

Coldstream photographer Murray Robertson is showing his work at Gallery Vertigo. their way of life is tops, but perhaps I’ve captured a little of each to show both sides of the coin.”

The exhibitions run jointly, with an opening night reception Thursday, Oct. 8 from 7 to 9 p.m.

Refreshments and light snacks will be served.

Gallery Vertigo is located at #1-3001 31st St., above Krause Jewellers. The shows are up until the end of October.

Families get ready to sing along with Fred Fred Penner inspires kids of all ages with his positive message Morning Star Staff

Like the song goes, Celebrate Being when famed children’s entertainer Fred Penner comes to Vernon Sunday.

About to launch the kids series at the Performing Arts Centre, Penner still has legions of fans. In fact, the centre’s artistic director Erin Kennedy is one of them.

“He is a favourite of my childhood. I remember being gunned on Halloween candy and rockin’ to The Cat Came Back when I was a kid,” Kennedy told The Morning Star recently. “His performance is great for all ages.”

Penner, who used to run a children’s theatre in his native Winnipeg, first came to prominence when he recorded a version of the song The Cat Came Back, originally penned

PhoTo SubMiTTed

Famed children’s entertainer Fred Penner performs at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Sunday.

by Harry S. Miller, more than 30 years ago. Since then he has established himself as a fundamental part of the North American family entertainment scene and is known for communicating in his clear, noncondescending way.

Always building on a common theme rooted in integrity and a “belief in what kids can do,” Penner has created a lasting impact that

crosses the generations and continues to grow. “(It’s a) delicate balance required to create a positive influence that fosters healthy self-esteem in the life of a child,” Penner is quoted as saying.

Dubbed “Mr. Multi-Media” by Billboard Magazine, Penner’s diverse repertoire includes 12 children’s albums and countless live shows, including more recently at university campuses and summer festivals.

He has composed the music for APTN/YTV’s puppet theatre series Tipi Tales, and wrote the score and hosted the TV documentary The Simple Way (focused on the relevant, worldwide topic of voluntary simplicity).

Penner also recently hosted the Polaris Music Prize, which honours, celebrates and rewards creativity and diversity in Canadian recorded music. (This year’s prize went to fellow Prairie-raised artist Buffy SainteMarie.)

Penner is probably best known to those who grew up in the 1980s and

early ‘90s from when he crawled out of that hollow log to the sound of a juice harp, and introduced viewers to the “Word Bird.”

Penner appeared for 12 seasons and nearly 900 episodes of the hit CBC TV show Fred Penner’s Place, and still receives mail from his fans, including some of the 55 million American viewers who watched his show when it ran for four years on the Nickelodeon cable channel.

“Children, if I can extrapolate that to an entire demographic, need places where they can feel comfortable — whether it’s their bedroom or a living room or under a piano, a place where they can feel protected and completely in their own zone,” Penner told The Winnipeg Free Press recently, adding, “Once you arrived at Fred Penner’s Place, you were protected.”

A four-time recipient of the Parents’ Choice Award and the man Los Angeles Parent called the “Canadian Minister of Positivity,” Penner has successfully transformed children’s entertainment into a fam-

ily affair. More than the music, the two-time Juno winner for best children’s album, Sing with Fred, and eight-time nominee’s body of work is about energy and emotional connection.

In 2000, the Canadian Institute of Child Health honoured Penner for his contribution to the well-being and safety of children. He is also a recipient of the Order of Canada.

This visibility has allowed Penner the privilege to use his voice to “bring something of value” as a spokesperson for organizations such as UNESCO, World Vision, UNICEF and the National Conference on Down Syndrome, which he chaired.

Tickets for Fred Penner’s performance at the Performing Arts Centre, Sunday at 11 a.m., are $12 each and are available now through the Ticket Seller at 549-7469, www. ticketseller.ca.

Series subscriptions for the 201516 kids series are $36 and include tickets to The Reluctant Dragon, Hamelin: A New Fable and The Middle of Everywhere.

Operatic tenor to open series Benjamin Butterfield gives an intimate concert in Vernon Tuesday Morning Star Staff

Acclaimed tenor Benjamin Butterfield, accompanied by pianist Sarah Hagen, performs at the first of four intimate chamber music concerts at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, Tuesday.

“Morning Melodies is returning and people who come and attend really enjoy the show,” said Erin Kennedy, artistic director with the Performing Arts Centre. “It’s a fun morning outing and a good way for people to enjoy classical music.”

Born in Halifax and raised in Victoria, Butterfield’s love of singing began at home and in the choir at Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria. Since then, he has toured across the globe with performances at Carnegie Hall with the Oratorio Society of New York, the Hollywood Bowl with the L.A. Philharmonic under Bramwell Tovey, and in the Palace of Versailles with the Royal Court Opera, to name just a few.

In opera, performances have included debuting the Handel roles of Grimoaldo in Rodelinda and Jupiter in Semele for Timothy Vernon and Pacific Opera Victoria, the role of Frère Massée in Messiaen’s St. François d’Assise with Kent Nagano and the Montreal Symphony as well as Tamino in The Magic Flute with the Toronto Symphony under Bernard Labadie.

Victoria-based tenor Benjamin Butterfield is in Vernon Tuesday for the first performance of the Morning Melodies chamber music series at the Performing Arts Centre.

Butterfield also played Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni with Calgary Opera and participated in the Vancouver Opera Companies 50th Anniversary Gala under Jonathan Darlington, singing works by Mozart, Strauss and Bizet.

On the concert stage, Butterfield has performed with the L.A. Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl in Carmina Burana with Bramwell Tovey and in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with the Vancouver Symphony under Andrew Grams, where he was “the star amongst the soloists,” according to The

Globe and Mail.

In Europe, he sang the arias in Bach’s St. John Passion for Jan Willem de Vriend with the Residentie Orkest of the Netherlands and the St. John Passion Evangelist for Choeur Ardito in Switzerland under Nicolas Reymond.

Other engagements include Chicago’s Music of the Baroque with Jane Glover and the Ravinia Festival with the Chicago Symphony under James Conlon.

Butterfield returned to perform Handel’s Messiah with the San Francisco Symphony, the Calgary Philharmonic with Jean-Marie Zeitouni as well as Beethoven’s Ninth with the Colorado Symphony under Jeffrey Kahane. He also presented the American art songs of Randy Newman for Toronto Masque Theater.

In addition to his international performances, Butterfield has more than 30 recordings to his credit, and can regularly be heard on CBC radio, where he has been featured on This is My Music.

He is also head of the voice program at the University of Victoria.

Morning Melodies begins at 10 a.m. with coffee, tea and treats and a chance to chat with the musicians. The 70-minute concert starts at 10:30 a.m. in the centre’s Marie Fleming Hall. Tickets are $35 for adults, $33 for seniors and $18 for students and are available through the Ticket Seller box office at 250-549-7469 or at www.ticketseller.ca.

Morning Melodies series subscriptions are also available for a limited time. Cost is $112 for adults and $104 for seniors for all four concerts.

Voice students to perform Mozart, Verdi Morning Star Staff

Local singer, teacher and conductor Paul Moore highlights his ensemble of singers in two concerts next week.

Now in his fourth year of operating his voice studio, Moore says he is always working on various styles of music based on musical and

vocal interests of all the singers involved.

“The idea of this concert is to give (my) singers the option to present material that is vocally or musically challenging so they may move ahead with different aspects of their development. And, of course, the goal of this recital is to please

the varied musical tastes of the audience,” said Moore.

Accompanied by pianist Mabel Thibault, the singers will present a variety of vocal music representing many different eras and styles of song – from Italian art song to French chanson, as well as solos and duets from musical theatre and opera.

Moore’s choir, The Kokanee Singers, will be joined by all soloists and members of the Inspirati Chorale to

form an opera chorus that will back up several operatic numbers such as O Isis und Osiris from Mozart’s The Magic Flute and Libiamo, the famous drinking song from Verdi’s La traviata.

The Inspirati Chorale, a new, advanced small ensemble created by Moore in May, will perform the famous motet (a choral piece, usually sung a cappella) from the 16th century, Sicut cervus by composer Giovanni da Palestrina.

“Sicut cervus is like-

presents… Andrea

ly the best known of Palestrina’s motets. In it is embedded the beauty and dignity for which Palestrina’s music is known and judged to be the ideal of Renaissance counterpoint,” said Moore.

The concerts take place at Armstrong’s Zion United Church Wednesday, Oct. 7 and at Knox Presbyterian Church in Vernon Friday, Oct. 9. Both start at 7 p.m. and tickets are $10 at the door (children are free).

We say, “The Intern starts strong but fizzles into common silliness.”

TAYLOR: I enjoyed The Intern in much the same way I enjoy the more senseless drivel I choose to view on television.

Not that The Intern is drivel, just that I must accept this parcel of entertainment as not being exactly suited to my sensibilities, yet providing some intellectual sustenance.

The film made me smile on several occasions and I really enjoyed the relationship between De Niro and Hathaway, but just over the halfway mark of the movie I began wondering, where’s the conflict? Where’s the monkey wrench? Then it arrived in the form of something that took me out of the story, by way of it being

Reel Reviews

Taylor and Howe

unexpected yet commonplace.

The movie is too generic to be anything other than comfortably bland, something for a rainy afternoon.

HOWE: It had a few laughs in it; nothing really rib tickling like A Walk in the Woods, but they were there.

I find De Niro, when it comes to comedy, a bit hit and miss. In The Intern it seems he’s a bit of a hit. Hathaway, on the other hand, played a role not different than any other she has played. She’s always the same: Big brown eyes, wondering what is going on, aloof.

Having said all that, the chemistry between the two of them works well. Conversations do

not feel scripted, they feel natural and for that I say well done to the pair of them.

TAYLOR: Writer and director Nancy Meyers (It’s Complicated, The Holiday) is no stranger to romantic pap or common wasp schmaltz; now it seems to be senior schmaltz. However, this latest movie is a

little messier than previous outings.

The Intern attempts to make some sort of comment about the current differences between young and old, about society and about life, but I’m not sure it makes sense, nor if you’ll care.

Better to just enjoy De Niro and Hathaway, then move on.

HOWE: I enjoyed

Co-produced with ex-Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera Dean Gordon-Smith over several spots in England, the recording is an evenkeeled collection of instrumentals, ambient songs and progressive rock groove.

Being in the Floyd can eat up time. Rattle That Lock is only Gilmour’s fourth solo album since the late ‘70s.

There are a few Floydian signposts. The solemn contemplation Faces of Stone recalls Meddle and the exuberant slick funk of Today is a direct descendant of the late ‘80s Learning to Fly era.

Unlike Pink Floyd, this seems to be a concept album without a sub-

ject and it’s a lyrically weak album.

Instrumentally, Rattle That Lock has moments of beauty. Gilmour’s playing is masterful and he shows his hand in tracks like 5 A.M., Beauty and the title track. His guitar is a voice of power and restraint, reaffirming his position as one of rock’s most identifiable players.

At times the lushness of the production softens the sting, threatening a surrender to the seriousness of progressive rock.

There is a certain thoughtfulness on the album. A Boat Lies Waiting is a ballad that invokes the style of the late Floyd keyboardist Rick Wright and has an elegiac quality to the chords.

Some tracks have a European ambiance and The Girl in the Yellow Dress and Dancing Right in Front of Me suggest continental melodies and cafés on the boulevard.

Gilmour’s vocal on The Girl (with Micah Paris) and the edgy title track are strong performances. But there’s such depth and ease in the instrumental songs that one wonders why he doesn’t release more of that.

His guitar still speaks in a silvery tongue.

A room filled with music The Music Room wants to make sure a music education is accessible to everyone

Cara Brady Morning Star Staff

The Vermeulen family chose Vernon when they emigrated from South Africa because their research showed it was a vibrant music town. Now they have something new to add to the flourishing local music scene.

With the encouragement of one of the students at their studio, The Music Room, François Vermeulen, his wife, Gail, and daughter, Daniella, are setting up a non-profit society to help with the costs of lessons for students who can’t afford them.

“There is a lot of talent and it is sad that talent slips through the cracks because families can’t afford music lessons,” said François, who took classical opera training at Durban University and had a successful career in South Africa. He also worked for years as a producer and teacher, with one of his students now a member of the Vienna Opera. Other former students are working in music around the world. Gail is a piano teacher, producer, director and writes scripts and music.

Daughter Daniella is also following a musical career and will be at UBCO this fall studying music and theatre, as well as assisting at The Music Room.

“I had my solo singing debut at three and have always been around musical theatre,” she said.

The Music Room offers a full course on instruction in piano — formal and informal — singing and musical theatre, with a lot of opportunity to perform, at community events and for local groups.

Students of all ages always set out with an assessment and a review of their goals, which can range from wanting to

François Vermeulen (left), coaches his daughter, Daniella Vermeulen, through a vocal piece with accompaniment by his wife, Gail Vermeulen at their Vernon studio, The Music Room. have more music in their lives for their own pleasure to taking formal examinations, to enhancing singing and writing in an established popular music band.

It all intrigued Nico Human, CEO of Agri-Trans Services Inc., in Armstrong, a trucking company in Canada and the United States, who sees other non-profit organizations help youth with their goals.

“I met the Vermeulens when we moved to Vernon a little over a year ago. I was missing my old choir and regular singing. François agreed to teach me. I’m 56 years old, and singing for the love and enjoyment of it all. I’m enjoying every moment of it,” he said. “We are forming the board with the vision of a joyful community through singing, music and acting and with the mission to teach singing, music and acting to those who are talented, those with the means to pay for lessons and those who need some financial help. I have experience with boards and non-profits and we are very excited to bring this service to Vernon.”

Russel Schartner is with

Kiliad Services Ltd. in Vernon.

He met the Vermeulens when his two young daughters started piano and singing lessons at The Music Room.

“My wife and I have been very impressed with the Vermeulens’ teaching style and how the girls have progressed over the last year. They were new to music and are playing very well in front of an audience,” he said.

“I heard the Vermeulens’ story about their accomplishments in South Africa and the vision they now have to teach music and performance to people in Vernon and I became inspired to get involved. We decided to set up the organization as a non-profit so we could include anyone interested in learning. I believe François is using only a small part of his potential and that given the opportunity, he and The Music Room can make a huge impact on the community.”

The Vermeulens like to perform locally as a family, sometimes with son, Perez, 15, who is currently concentrating on sports.

They look back to their choice to come to Canada, arriving June 14, 2010, to

becoming Canadian citizens March 12, 2015, and ahead to the opportunities to share their love of music and their expertise through The Music Room.

“We want students to be able to have the opportunity to develop their talent in music with help for lessons. There’s endless creativity. We all need to express ourselves in some way,” said Gail.

François sees unlimited potential.

“Students will work toward their own goals and they will, if they choose the theatre classes, learn theatre, the lighting, movement, character, costume, makeup, improvisation, marketing, design, posters, writing plays and songs, all of it. They can find where their dreams lie,” he said.

“We will learn the rules and understand the rules then we will see that we can break it all if and when we want to. Music is freedom of expression.”

For more information about lessons (registration is on now for all fall classes, including youth theatre) or to be part of the The Music Room society, call 250-550-4381 or see www. themusicroomvernon.com.

A doctor’s journey from Hungary to Vernon Morning Star Staff

He hung up his stethoscope in 1999, but Dr. Nicholas Rety has not let retirement slow him down.

From flying to world travel, the retired Vernon urologist has many interests. He can now add author to that list.

Rety has written a memoir, No Return Ticket, that he describes as a boy’s firsthand account of the Second World War siege of

his hometown, Budapest, Hungary.

“The notion that I was somehow enriched by these events is called into question by the circumstances in which they took place,” he writes. “Yes I cannot deny that the lessons I learned from their passing have shaped my thinking for life.”

He goes on to write about his life after the war, which included medical school in England and three years as a regimental

medical officer in the Canadian army before starting his practice as a urologist in Vernon.

Rety will be signing copies of his book at Coles in the Village Green Centre, Tuesday from noon to Dr. Nicholas Rety 4 p.m.

Soup kitchen needs helping hands to continue serving Hot meals have been served to people in need every Saturday for 20 years Contributed

Unless you have ever been in need of a free meal or have driven by All Saints’ Anglican Church on 27th Street around Saturday lunch time, you may not even know that Vernon has a soup kitchen. The fact is, however, that this largely unheralded charity has been serving about 5,000 meals a year for the past two decades.

For regulars of the Upper Room Mission, the soup kitchen helps to fill the void when it is closed on the weekends: for David from Newfoundland, the soup kitchen means that every Saturday he “is guaranteed to get a serving of a lovely meal.�

For guests like Elisheva who don’t frequent the Mission, the

soup kitchen provides “a lifeline and a safe place to come for a nutritious lunch and fellowship.�

On any given Saturday, the soup kitchen also feeds transients as well as families just trying to make it through the month.

As might be expected, the soup kitchen is mainly run by a number of area churches. However, for the past three years, Beairsto school, employees of Epicor Software and a group of retired friends under the name “Time to Share� have also been involved. While the venue and the kitchen equipment are shared, the groups take turns to cook, fund and provide the volunteers for each meal.

Recently the soup kitchen has felt the strain of fulfilling its weekly obligation: after giving so faithfully, “Time to Share� had to bow out, while some groups have had to reduce their number of turns. “We are fine up until Christmas; however, there is a real need for new groups to join us in the new year,� said Michael

Robinson, who heads up the soup kitchen. “If any group is interested they are welcome to get in touch with me through the Anglican Church and come see what the soup kitchen is all about. “In addition to providing an invaluable service to people in need, hosting the meal is a lot of fun and helps prevent the compassion muscle that we all have from atrophying.�

It’s a sentiment similarly expressed by Stephen Lewis of Epicor Software. “We are very thankful for the opportunity to help out people in our community,� he said. “It is a very rewarding and enjoyable experience and we strongly encourage other groups to do the same. “ For more information, call All Saints’ Anglican Church at 250542-3179 or email allsaintsvernon@telus.net The lunch is served Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. All are welcome! All Saints is at 320527th St., Vernon.

Workshops help people living with dementia Morning Star Staff

Understanding dementia, and the feelings of grief and loss it causes, is the goal of a pair of free workshops this month in Vernon.

The non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. developed the workshops to help the increasing number of B.C. families living with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia.

The first workshop, Grieving Losses During the Dementia Journey, takes place Oct. 14. It explores the loss and grief issues of the dementia caregiving experience. Participants will also get suggestions for weathering the losses.

The second workshop, Getting to Know Dementia, takes place Oct. 20. “Participants will receive basic information on dementia and the impact it has on the individual, their caregivers and their support network,� said

www.prairiecoastequipment.com

Carly Gronlund, the society’s support and education coordinator for Vernon and the Central and North Okanagan.

The introductory session reviews the different types of support available throughout the dementia journey, planning for the future and strategies for living well.

The session is intended for people experiencing early symptoms of dementia, as well as family members or friends who are currently supporting a person with a recent dementia diagnosis. It is not intended for the general public or health care providers.

Both workshops run from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at The People Place, 3402 - 27th Ave. Pre-registration is required, by contacting Carly Gronlund at 1-800634-3399 or cgronlund@alzheimerbc.org.

A BMW 750i xDrive model will have a starting MSRP of $113,900, and a long-wheelbase 750iL xDrive at $117,900. Pricing, which should be lower, for the 740 editions will be announced closer to market launch next year.

A redesigned 4.4 litre V 8 engine with TwinPower Turbo technology can produce 445 hp and rocket a 750i to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds (according to BMW).

It’s teamed with an eight-speed automatic and a new version of BMW’s intelligent all-wheel-drive system in the 750i xDrive.

BMW’s venerable 3.0-litre inline 6-cylinder engine, which now also features TwinPower Turbo technology, will power 740i xDrive and 740Li xDrive editions. A plug-in hybrid 740e xDrive will also join the model lineup in 2016. Its 2.0-litre gas engine is paired with electric drive unit that’s integrated into the eight-speed Steptronic transmission and it comes with a lithium-ion battery pack. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

FORD ENHANCES SYNC APPLINK Metroland Media

Developers can now leverage Ford’s allnew SYNC 3 technology including advanced voice recognition and touch screen user interface to create apps that enhance the in-car user experience.

SYNC AppLink enables drivers to voice-control smartphone apps from the driver’s seat, and it allows for phone apps to appear on the SYNC screen as they appear on the phone.

The AppLink experience is now enhanced on the SYNC 3 platform with its eightinch capacitive touch screen with custom graphics.

Developers have more than a dozen design templates to help develop a look and feel for their apps.

The latest set of AppLink application programming interfaces gives developers several new capabilities, including: • In-vehicle notifications: Developers can send push notifications to drivers through vehicle audio systems and displays – similar to users’ experiences on their smartphones

• Voice pass-through: Offers the ability for app developers to take advantage of increasingly popular cloud-based voice-activated services for in-app experiences • Vehicle information access: Real-time information from various vehicle sensors allows for customization and personalization of app experiences Since Ford rolled out the automotive industry’s first developer program in 2013, more than 13,000 developers have registered and more than 24,000 software development kits have been downloaded.

There are more than 90 AppLink-compatible smartphone apps now running on iOS and Android devices around the world.

The AppLink application programming interface has been integrated into some of the world’s most popular smartphone apps – including Pandora, Spotify, Glympse, Sina Weibo and QQ Music.

Through its developer program, Ford hopes to grow the app ecosystem even further – especially in new categories such as health and wellness, connected home and productivity.

Coming Events

MORAND, Erla Joan July 24, 1939-Sept. 28, 2015 Joan was born in Beechy, Saskatchewan to her mother, Maysie, her father Hilton & her sister Arlene. Her younger brother, Douglas, was born seven years later.

Joan has remained very close to her siblings for the last 76 years. Joan was named Erla, but is known to everyone as Joan. She lived in Beechy until she was 10, then moved to Calgary. She married Leo Morand and had two boys, Dean and Jeffery, by the age of 26. She lived in Calgary for about 45 years and retired to Summerland, where her mom, dad, sister & brother all lived. Joan was a gentle and classy lady with a warm heart. She lived her life with grace. She had a great sense of humour and loved to laugh. Joan has many family members across the country.

From Aunt Marj, Aunt Irene, Aunt Jean & to the Stretch’s all the way in PEI. Her nephews Randy, Greg, Mark & niece Alison.

The ‘Randy and Cindy entourage’ consisting of Kendel, Marshall, Makenna, Chad, Brittney, baby Eddie Lee, and Haley.

Greg and Gail, Dylan and Eden. Alison & James, Jackson & Jamie. Special thanks to Carolyn for being there for Joan’s last moments. Joan would like any donations to go towards the Andy Moog Hospice to show how much care they have given her. She says it’s like living like the Rich and Famous. Thank you for the great care. Although ovarian cancer took her away too early, she believes it was her time to go and make her way to Heaven. One of her favorite sayings is “Some Days are like Diamonds and some Days are like Stones - John Denver”
