Shrine welcomes five new members ROGER KNOX

eing a boxing instructor helped Don MacDonald’s hockey coaching career. The late longtime coach of the Vernon Boxing Club, and a lifetime Greater Vernon Minor Hockey member, spent 17 seasons as a hockey coach at the minor level and in senior men’s hockey with the Vernon Screaming Eagles of the now-defunct North Okanagan Hockey League. “Most of his teams could fight,” smiled MacDonald’s son, Ross, as he accepted his father’s induction into the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame Friday at the Schubert Centre. “He was talking to our goalie, Daryl Leier, between periods and asked Daryl if he could box. Daryl went ‘What?’ and dad said ‘Well nothing hits you.’” The story drew a laugh from the capacity crowd who came to hear about and support two builders, including MacDonald, two athletes and a legendary baseball team at Friday’s luncheon. MacDonald, enshrined in the builder category, was the heart and soul of the Vernon Boxing Club since taking over as a coach in 1947. He produced several local and provincial champions and one Canadian champ, John Henry Wilson. He was represented at the luncheon by his kids, Ross and Nancy, and their families. “This is a huge honour for him and our family,” said Ross. “We are extremely proud.” Joining MacDonald in the builder category was his longtime friend, boxing referee Ian Gibson, who also founded the Vernon Women’s Soccer League. His lengthy support of soccer has been recognized in the men’s North Okanagan Soccer League, as the league playoff championship trophy – the Gibson Cup – is named after the native of Kirkconnel, Scotland, who held back tears during his acceptance speech. “I was at a hockey game when Bob Scott and Jim Domokos walked up to me and said ‘You’re the new

president of our men’s soccer league.’ I wasn’t asked. I was told,” said Gibson, who is a member of the B.C. Boxing Hall of Fame. “I’ve enjoyed every minute of it and I want to say thanks to my wife and two kids for putting up with me.” The 1977-84 Enderby Legionnaires baseball squad – which included Leier – was inducted in the team category. During that time period, the players from Enderby, Vernon and Salmon Arm won four provincial senior men’s baseball titles, including three in a row from 1980-82, and finished runner-up twice. They won two Western Canadian titles, including the 1984 championship in front of a capacity crowd at Riverside Park, and won two silver medals. “We had a group of guys that came together and made some sacrifices,” said longtime Legionnaires player Bill Hagardt, accepting the honour for the team. “It was quite a sacrifice mainly because we had families, wives, girlfriends that wanted to do other things but the players dedicated their time. “It took some time, dedication and a little bit of luck to do what we did. Guys who moved away would keep travelling back to play for us. It was a wonderful experience.” Before wheelchair athletes Marni Abbott-Peter of Enderby and Sonja Gaudet of Vernon were inducted, a special videotaped greeting from Rick Hansen was shown. “I want to say congratulations to Marni and Sonja on this incredible award,” said Hansen. “You’re joining the likes of so many athletes who have made contributions to sport in the Okanagan.” Abbott-Peter, who could not attend the ceremony due to prior commitments, is one of Canada’s most decorated Paralympians. She started her Paralympic career in the pool, winning four gold and one silver in swimming at the 1986 Pan American Games. She began playing wheelchair basketball in 1988 and won three Paralympic gold medals. Abbott-Peter, who now lives and

B.C. Wheelchair Sports named her Canada’s female athlete of the century and B.C. Wheelchair Basketball named her athlete of the millennium. Her award was accepted by her parents, John and Abby Pavelich. “She regrets very much that she can’t be here,” said Abby. “She wanted me to thank her fans, some of who are here today, and she is grateful to the committee for doing this. “We’re very proud of Marni’s accomplishments and the positive attitude and true grit she has displayed over the years.” Gaudet became a two-time Paralympic gold medalist in curling after being paralyzed from the braline down in a horse accident 16 years ago. She is also a member of the

Canadian Curling Hall of Fame. “I am grateful to be here today with my family and I share this with them and my teammates,” said Gaudet, accompanied by her husband, Dan, and kids.

“My role models were Rick Hansen, Marni Abbott and (Vernon’s) Lars Taylor who showed me that I still have a great quality of life to achieve and aspire to. To them, I will be forever grateful.”

A lucky drive to Vernon Morning Star Staff

A stopover in Vernon for an oil change has turned into a day Revelstoke resident Peter Mueller will never forget. While in town this past week, the 68-year-old decided to check his Lotto 6/49 ticket and discovered he had matched all six numbers on the Oct. 30 draw to win the $20,223,182.30 jackpot. The winning ticket was pur— Peter chased earlier in the week at the Malones Confectionery in Revelstoke. “I have always hoped to win but never thought it would happen to me. I have seen people win on the news before though, so I knew it was possible,” said Mueller, who heard on the radio during his drive to Vernon that there was a winning ticket purchased in Revelstoke. “The whole drive I wondered if it was me, so I went straight to Village Green (Centre) to find B.C.

“She validated the ticket and confirmed the win before she could believe her eyes.” The recently retired Mueller plans to consult a financial adviser before deciding how to spend his big prize. However, a trip to Mexico to enjoy his hobbies of golfing and swimming is at the top of his list. “ I ’ v e d re am e d before about w i n n i n g the lottery Mueller and now my dreams have become a reality,” he said, beaming. The last British Columbia Lotto 6/49 jackpot winner was in August. Mueller is the first in the province to win since the new Lotto 6/49 was launched in September, featuring a new guaranteed $1 million prize to be won with every draw, as well as larger starting jackpots, new free plays and better overall odds. Lotto 6/49 is a nationwide lottery game drawn on Wednesdays and Saturdays after 6 p.m. (PT). Players can purchase tickets at any lottery retailer or at PlayNow.com.

Parking under review roger knox Morning Star Staff

A significant drop in parking lot rental revenue has the City of Vernon looking at options for two popular free parking areas. T h r o u g h September, revenue for city lot rentals is $126,623, down from $191,683 through the same time period a year ago. Catherine Lord Staff told council that it will be reviewing parking lot rental options at the Civic Arena and the Vernon Recreation Complex. “We are at a point where folks parking, particularly during the day, are taking up much of the parking area, and are beginning to take up areas necessary for programs, etcetera,” said City of Vernon administrator Will Pearce.

It is likely that city administration will forward a number of options for council to consider, including the possibility of limiting free parking at both locations for three-to-four hours. Coun. Catherine Lord said the city has recommended to people, particularly those who work in the downtown area, that they park at the rec centre and Civic Arena because parking is free. “A three-to-four-hour limit isn’t going to do that (for people who work),” said Lord. “If we’re going to do something there and it’s impacting a program, could we not do something about separating an area that would be for free parking?” The city’s manager of recreation services, Doug Ross, has been given the task of monitoring the parking at both facilities. “There will be a range of options for council to consider,” said Pearce in regards to the parking lot rental revenue drop.

count of robbery in Vernon Provincial Court Thursday in connection with a theft from a drug store in the Fruit Union Plaza Wednesday night. Hopkins was sentenced to three years in jail for the robbery, given a lifetime firearms prohibition and ordered to provide a DNA sample. He was sentenced to another 30 days concurrent for a breach of conditions stemming from a Golden matter. A stay of proceedings was entered by Crown counsel on a charge of obstruction. Hopkins entered the drug store and, according to police, made threats to staff. He left the store with an undisclosed amount of money. The robbery was reported by an on-duty pharmacist to RCMP at 8:30 p.m. Two hours later, city bylaw officers noticed a man matching a description of the robbery suspect. Police were alerted and a suspect was arrested in the area of 39th Street and 24th Avenue.

Two days of Grace will help an Armstrong girl. The first day of Grace will be held Saturday, Nov. 9, from 4 to 9 p.m. at Tucker’s Restaurant in downtown Armstrong to help raise funds for Emma Grace Tucker, who suffers from a neuro-degenerative disease called Canavan Disease. However, because of the enthusiasm from the community to help out, a second night has been added on Friday, Nov. 8, from 5 to 7 p.m. “So many people have volunteered their time, we’ve added the second night,” said Wayne Tucker, Emma’s father. “Emma is doing pretty well. The new medications the doctors have her on have helped quite a bit.” The day includes dinner and music at Tucker’s Restaurant (3460 Okanagan St., Armstrong), owned by Emma’s parents, Wayne and Jennifer.

We have members from age five up to 90. Some of these guys it’s their only reason for getting up in the day. It’s the only thing they do. For a lot of our members it’s heartbreaking.” The model aircraft club began in the late 1970s near Sexsmith Road, was then forced to move to Black Mountain where it operated for 20 years before most recently locating in Lake Country. “I don’t know what we will do now,” said Davis. “Finding a suitable location in the valley is next to impossible with all the urban sprawl.”

Budget process in works roger knox Morning Star Staff

Coldstream council and staff will soon get to work on the 2014 budget. A scheduled committee of the whole meeting Monday was supposed to be changed to a finance committee meeting, and another finance committee meeting was set for Nov. 19. However, the finance committee meeting should have been set for Nov. 26. “This change is necessary to facilitate staff availability for the finance committee meeting,” wrote Coldstream administrative officer Trevor Seibel. The first meeting will be council’s original look at what money is available. “Council will be presented with a whole plethora of information from grant-in-aid requests to capital projects to operational budgets,” said Seibel. Committees decommissioned The district’s fire department liaison and operational review committees have been struck down. The fire department liaison committee was created to foster ongoing dialogue and com-

munication between council and the chiefs of the Coldstream and Lavington fire halls, and met monthly. But as issues were resolved, the committee has not found it necessary to meet even quarterly. “I’ve established a good rapport with the fire chiefs and it has become apparent that the format of formal communication by way of committee meetings is no longer efficient or necessary,” wrote Seibel. The review committee was established as a select committee of council to look over the operational aspects of each of the district’s departments to try and understand more of the day-today operations, issues and challenges with each department. Since it was created, the committee never convened a traditional meeting. Now, both departments will report to Seibel. “I can deal with things much more expediently than a committee,” said Seibel. Christmas office hours Due to the likelihood of few public requests, council voted in favour of a staff recommendation to close the District of Coldstream office completely

over the Christmas holidays. The office will be closed from 2 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 24, to 8 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 2. “With advance notice via various media formats, the public would have adequate time before the Christmas break to contact district office staff regarding inquiries and requests for service,” wrote Seibel. “The Christmas break is the time of year when we anticipate there would be few requests for service on Dec. 27, 30 and 31.” Office staff would use vacation time or flex time to cover the three days.

The usual

e’ve been traveling a lot the last few weeks, and it’s good to be back home. I have no horror stories to tell about terrible plane rides, traffic nightmares or bizarre customer “service” stories. Everything was incredibly normal. As usual, Sue caught an unshakeable cold, the same kind one or both of us always gets after flying. As usual, the moment the cabin door was locked, the guy two rows behind us sprayed half the cabin with a huge, deep, wet, phlegmy cough, one big enough to Jim Mullen cover our row and many others with his toxic spew. Since the cougher is on every single flight we have ever taken, we are starting to think the airlines pay him to travel. The only real surprise is that they haven’t figured out a way to charge extra for giving passengers the flu. Yet. As usual, on every flight there were at least two screaming babies. As usual, they charged extra to check golf clubs and skis. As usual, they don’t charge anything extra for screaming babies. As usual, we wonder why. As usual we passed several displays that said, “If your carry-on bag can’t fit in this container, you MUST check it.” As usual, they still let 15 or 20 people on each flight clog the aisle with carry-ons not just bigger than the container, but four and five times bigger than the container. As usual, the airlines refused to board the rear of the plane first. They always load the passengers seated in the front of the plane first, so people in the rear have to fight their way past them, holding up the entire boarding process. As usual, every single one of our flights was delayed. We didn’t miss any connecting flights, but, as usual, plenty of people did. As usual, there is either a two-hour wait between connecting flights or a two-minute one.

VILLAGE IDIOT

As usual, the only announcement we could understand over the loudspeakers was “Whoever left their laptop at the security checkpoint, please return to pick it up.” So I did. As usual, the line for the TSA checkpoint snaked around the airport. As usual, someone forgot they’d put their gun in their carry-on. As usual, there was no place to put your carryons in the airport restroom, or coffee shop, or waiting area, so as usual we had to set them on the floor. As usual, we hoped that was water all over the floor. Or even mostly water. As usual, there is a guy on the moving walkway talking to himself as if there’s someone right beside him. Then you see the Bluetooth earpiece and realize he’s on the phone. As usual, everyone within 20 feet of him could hear him say things like, “After the second baby, I told her to get out.” As usual, we paid $28 for two-day-old ham sandwiches and a bag of trail mix to eat on the plane. As usual, we wondered when you had to start taking trail mix on an airplane to survive the rugged journey. Wasn’t it originally made for backpackers climbing backwoods trails where food was hard to come by? As usual, the passenger sitting in the aisle seat fell asleep with his head on the tray the moment I felt I should use the restroom. As usual, I schlepped around a heavy coat to a destination that was having unseasonably warm weather. As usual, I forgot it when I left. As usual, we were having abnormally cold weather at home. As usual, we forgot to write down where we parked the car. Was it row RR or TT Blue? Ah, there it is. In row Q Red. Luckily for us, we didn’t have any bad weather or “equipment delays.” Those can really make air travel a nightmare – not like the wonderful way it is, as usual. (Contact Jim Mullen at imMullenBooks.com.)

A return to standard time may not officially mean winter has begun but in these parts it might as well be. Something about the turning of the calendar and saying so long to Halloween seems to inspire Mother Nature to send us a message ‑ something like “here comes winter folks.” And, as if on cue, a snowfall warning was issued for the Coquihalla highway on Friday. That means if you plan on going to the Coast anytime soon you better have your snow tires on as it’s mandatory for moun‑ tain highways in this province. Not to mention that now that the calendar has changed it’s only a matter of days, if not hours, that the white stuff will fall at local ski hills and then in the valley bottoms as well. So beat the rush and get to your friendly, neighbourhood tire store and make the change before, well, your neighbour does. And if you haven’t brought in your hoses, raked up the leaves, covered up the air conditioner, blown out the sprinkler system and brought in the potted plants, well, it might be later than you think. They are still taking yard and garden waste, free of charge, at the Greater Vernon Recycling Disposal Facilities until Nov. 30, so there’s still time to get that chore done. However, anyone who has attempted to gather garden waste, especially leaves, after a significant snowfall, knows very well it’s better to be earlier than later. Yes, winter, and all the good stuff like alpine skiing and snowshoeing and cross‑country skiing, will be here before you know it. But consider this a wake‑up call that it’s likely later than you think and plenty to do before the real fun begins.

Economic development must be key

n response to the article in The Morning Star on Oct 20, 2013 regarding how the economy is highlighted in the city plan, there are a few key points I feel should be expressed. I am not sure how many citizens of Vernon have had a closer look at the current draft of the official community plan – as it is quite clear there is a lack of emphasis on the economy and economic development. In the OCP draft there are nine “guiding principles” that are the key components related to every chapter/subject within the OCP. Interestingly enough, the economy and economic development is not among those nine key principles. In our current struggling local economy, economic development must be a key guiding principle to the future of Vernon. But unfortunately, it is only a mere mention regarding some brief goals with no action plans or accountability. This needs to be changed. COunCIllOR REsPOnDs This letter is in response to the letter published in The Morning Star on Oct. 27 (Greater Vernon is over governed). It is very arrogant of a former city councillor to tell the taxpayers of Coldstream that they should give up their chosen form of governance and join the City of Vernon. He should have learned from the debates of 2008 (see clips athttp://coldstreamernews.blogspot. ca/2013/09/amalgamation-dialogue-with-politicians.html) that these debates do not work unless each one of the jurisdictions agree to proceed based on demonstrated, tangible benefits to each. As a Coldstream resident I get the services I need: water from GVW, sewer services for which I pay the going rate to the city of Vernon and the collection fees to Coldstream, I pay my share for recreation, culture etc. for which I pay the regional district. My property taxes in 2013 were 10.25 per cent lower than it would have been had my property been located in the city (that's about $290 in real figures).

As mentioned in the article - people are leaving town to work and feed their families. The original OCP was written at a time when the North Okanagan was experienc-

You may think Vernon is over governed and that you have to take up with your council. Coldstream is not over governed and tries to keep taxes at a level its taxpayers can afford. So do not covet our way of life from the outside. If you wish to join Coldstream you may purchase a property and move to Coldstream. Otherwise let us live as we please.

I returned to the store to let them know my car would be there for a while until BCAA got there. Madeline, the store clerk, said, "No problem, I'll jump it. We look after our customers." How great is that? Minutes later, with help from Mike in the meat department, my car was ready to go. Now that's what I'm talking

I voted for you in the last election, because I felt that the Conservatives under Mr. Harper, actually gave a damn about our military, and veterans. I thought that maybe we finally had a government that would undo all of the Trudeau/Hellyer dismemberment of our military. It seems I was wrong. I'm sure there must be other areas that can be cut rather than anything for our veterans. The news story said that veterans could still access help from Service Canada offices. I guarantee you no one from Service Canada has any idea about veterans' needs and problems. Studies done after the Vietnam war showed that veterans responded better to treatment from Veteran agencies, and not mainstream, one

OCP must reflect the need for economic development. Last year our Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce formed an action committee called the “Business Improvement Group for Real Estate and Development” (BIG RED). We are a group of concerned professionals who are seeing business development turn away every day due to municipal red tape and lack of open-door policies. It is time the business community is heard. Change needs to be made to bring in new development, business dollars, and families that pay taxes. Only with economic development will we be able to have a sustainable and thriving city. After all, the opposite of growth is decay. Pamela Owen, Chairperson, BIG RED Committee, Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce

size fits all care. Perhaps cutting some of the dead weight of the Senate might be a better idea. It certainly is one that is more palatable to Canadians. I should add, I am neither a veteran nor have I ever served in the military. I am a Canadian who is proud of our military men and women and will support them in way I can. Please find some other way of balancing the budget. These men and women have the guts to put it on the line for Canada. Maybe we should have the guts to take care of them.

Building inspection targeted roger knox Morning Star Staff

Armstrong’s representative to the Regional District of North Okanagan board says RDNO’s building inspection service function will close at the end of 2015. Shirley Fowler told her council that a motion came forward at the last RDNO board meeting to give notification that in two years, at the end of 2015, the function as it exists today will be disengaged. “Everyone will withdraw on that date,” said Fowler. “The two years will be the mitigation. Whoever chooses to still want to be involved in a building inspection function of RDNO at that point can re-start up from day one.

“Everyone will withdraw on that date.” — Shirley Fowler “Anyone who wants to do otherwise will do otherwise from that point.” The City of Armstrong, in a way, spearheaded the motion a year ago when they informed RDNO they planned to withdraw from the building inspection service, feeling they weren’t getting enough for the money they provide for the function. Fowler said as soon as

Armstrong gave notice, all RDNO members mentioned they were dissatisfied with the way things were going. “All of the participants, there were things (with building inspection) that everybody was not happy with,” she said. “They put them all together and felt the best way to deal with it was to start over again.”’ For Armstrong, it means they will still have to be part of the function until the end of 2015. RDNO is expected to soon receive the official notification of disengaging the building inspection function as soon as possible, allowing the board to officially vote on the motion.

Park land not included in Royal York plan roger knox Morning Star Staff

A proposed development for the Royal York Golf Course will not include five per cent dedicated parkland. Council gave third reading to a zoning and official community plan amendment bylaw that changes future land use of part of the golf course property to allow 46 strata units (30 single-family homes and eight duplexes). The original proposal included parkland dedication of five per cent of the land south of the proposed development. But council unanimously voted to take the dedication out of the bylaw amendment. “I had a chance to tour the site proponent’s proposed parkland dedication, and at this point, I don’t see the value in it,” said Coun. Ryan Nitchie. Concern about the parkland site was also raised by a resident of neighbouring Bradley Drive at an October public hearing on the proposal. The resident said the land is “good for nothing to be useful.” Council did receive support from the Active Communities Trails Committee for the parkland dedication. Mayor Chris Pieper reiterated to a few public members in the gallery that the motion discussed at council is strictly on the zoning of the proposed subdivision. Items of concern brought up at the public hear-

ing, such as drainage, emergency vehicle access, setbacks and heights of houses, will be part of the upcoming development permit application stage for the proponents, Longview Resources. Fourth and final reading on the rezoning application must still be approved.

Several parcels of property were also given exemptions including Kal Beach, its parking lot and concession, the Vernon Creek Control Gate, Westkal Beach, City of Vernon Water Reservoir and the Kal Lake Pump House. The exemptions were granted unanimously though Couns. Maria Besso and Richard Enns excused themselves from the discussion due to potential conflicts of interest, and Coun. Peter McClean was absent from the meeting. There were no new groups or organizations awarded exemptions in 2014.

receiving upgrades to make it safer and more accessible for residents and visitors. The first step of a multi-phase improvement project is now complete. The trail head, in the northeast corner of Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park at Cosens Bay Gate, has been cleared of debris and widened. A new trail head sign has been installed.

Vitamin C and Lysine Powder Help Prevent Heart Attacks 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. Years later Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Noble Prize winner, is ignored for reporting that large amounts of vitamin C and lysine are needed to prevent coronary attacks. Twentyfive years ago Pauling reported that animals make vitamin C and humans do not. That’s why sailors died of scurvy during long sea voyages, but the ship’s cat survived. 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. Pauling claimed 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. Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proved 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. So what has happened to these monumental findings? Bush, like Semmelweiss, has been ridiculed by cardiologists. One has to ask whether cardiologists, by ignoring his results, are condemning thousands of people to an early coronary heart attack. Fourteen 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, for several reasons.

I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking Lipitor. I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications. 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. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day. If high doses cause diarrhea, the dose should be decreased. This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. This is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. Most of today’s, cardiologists are impervious to persuasion. They continue to believe that cholesterol-lowering drugs are the be-all-andend-all to prevent heart attack. They’ve been brain-washed by millions of dollars worth of promotion by pharmaceutical companies. It reminds me of the saying that cautions “It’s not what you don’t know what gets you into trouble, it’s the things you know for sure that ain’t so!” It’s time for cardiologists to have an open mind and stop ignoring this research. As for me – I bet my life on it!

The upgrades are a partnership between the Ministries of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and Environment for a 42-kilometre trail enhancement project from Vernon to Kelowna. “Restoring the Highland Trail is great news for both Vernon and Kelowna,” said Ve r n o n - M o n a s h e e MLA Eric Foster. “In a day and age where more people are spending time indoors – in front of a screen – providing an improved, quality recreation opportunity like this promotes healthy living and B.C.’s beautiful outdoors.” Upgrades to the trail are being conducted by crews from the Wildfire Management Branch’s Vernon Fire Zone when they are not responding to wildfires. The project is allowing crews the opportunity to contribute to the local community while increasing their fire

fighting and prevention skills by performing tasks like danger tree identification, brush clearing and chain sawing. Local contributions have played an important role with getting phase one to completion. Inspired Precision Machining Inc. donated materials for the new trail head sign and Postill and Sons Ltd. helped haul gravel and provided use of their trucks. “I strongly believe it is important to be active outdoors,” said Aaron Peters, owner of Inspired Precision Machining Inc. “My family and I frequently use the trail network in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park, and I was excited about the opportunity to contribute.” The next two-year phase of the project is expected to begin in spring 2014, and will include pruning, spacing and removing select trees to further improve trail access.

Lakers split tourney tilts Morning Star Staff

ROGER TEPPER/MORNING STAR

Vernon Vipers’ Riley Guenther (left) and TJ Dumonceaux (far right) team up to steal the puck from Salmon Arm SilverBacks’ Mark Whiteley in B.C. Hockey League action Friday night at Kal Tire Place. The Vipers won 2-1.

Vipers flex powerplay GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

It’s been about as reliable as snow in July so far this season, but the powerplay came through big time for the Vernon Vipers Friday night at Kal Tire Place. Michael McNicholas scored on the man advantage with just over six minutes left in regulation to give the Vipers a 2-1 win over their main B.C. Hockey League rival, the Salmon Arm SilverBacks. Liam Coughlin relayed Dexter Dancs’ cross-ice feed to McNicholas, who buried the winner before netminder Adam Clark could get across. Vernon’s powerplay is clicking at a league-worst 11.76 per cent. Coughlin (first star) stuffed home the rebound off of fellow Bostonian Mark Hamilton’s point shot for the opening goal early in the second period. The SilverBacks, fifth in the Interior Division at 10-7-1-1, equalized on a scramble in front of Danny Todosychuk, converted by third star Max Becker. Vernon (10-6-1-3) is tied for second in

the Interior with the Penticton Vees (11-41-1), who have three games in hand. Just four points separate first from fifth place. Friday’s tilt, before 1,800 fans was a chippy affair, featuring a pair of scraps. The Snakes’ Brendan Persley and SilverBacks’ Brendan Kennedy battled in a quick, spirited bout in the second period on a Salmon Arm powerplay. Kennedy’s brother, Jeff, tussled with Kenny Citron during a melee caused by Alex Jewell’s hit from behind on Hamilton in the third. Todosychuk made 30 saves for his seventh win. Clark was steady in recording 31 stops for the Gorillas. Vernon meets the Victoria Grizzlies (9-6-2-1) for the first time this season in a 2 p.m. matinee Sunday at Kal Tire Place. Bill Bestwick’s Grizz tied the Trail Smoke Eaters 4-4 Friday night at Cominco Arena. They visited the SilverBacks Saturday at the Shaw Centre. Salmon Arm’s penalty kill is tops in the BCHL, denying opposition 88.24 per cent of the time. “There was a lot of special teams

tonight,” said SilverBacks’ head coach Troy Mick. “There wasn’t a lot of flow in the game, but they got one chance in the end and they capitalized on it. “When you look at our penalty kill, we’re at the top of the league and tonight I don’t think we kind of sat back.” On the intensity shown Friday, Mick said: “It’s heated rivalry and we hope that it can keep growing. It’s healthy, not only for our two teams and our attendance, but it’s healthy for the league too.” Added Jewell, a Vernon product: “We don’t think we played our best game, but you’ve got to give them credit – they played a hard 60 (minutes) and we didn’t. We always get up when we play Vernon; they’re our main rival. Playing in my hometown adds spark and gives me a little extra jump.” Coughlin and d-man Jason Bird, who rang iron of a slick pass from Coughlin, had great chances for Vernon in an exciting second period after a rather listless opening 20.

The Sladen Moore Lakers ambushed the Penticton Ice Dragons 8-2 in their Bantam Female A Hockey Classic Saturday morning at Civic Arena. Mairyn Tucker and Emily Clarke each scored twice for the Lakers, while singles came from Andie Kaneda, Jenna Fletcher, Carly Southam and Juli Gilowski. Clarke added two assists, while Tucker, Kaneda, Abbey Magnus and Jordan Butler also provided helpers. The Lakers fell 8-1 to the South Island Royals of Victoria in their tournament opener Friday night at Civic with Tucker breaking the Royals’ shutout bid in the third period. The Williams Lake Timberwolves clipped the West Kootenay Wildcats 2-1 and the Kelowna Rockets tied Penticton 3-3 in other Friday games. Sladen Moore, with Keith Tucker as head coach, finished preliminary play Saturday afternoon against the Timberwolves. The favoured Royals faced West Kootenay and Kelowna in their last round-robin games Saturday. The Classic final goes today at 2:15 p.m. at Civic. Meanwhile, the Watkin Motors Pee Wee Tier 1 Vipers split their games Friday at the Salmon Arm Silvertips Tournament. Rowan Miller pulled the hat trick in the Vipers’ 5-3 loss to the St. Albert Saints and scored once as the Vipers recovered for a 4-1 over South Delta. Head coach Sandy Moger told the players after the win: “That was your best performance, best effort of the season.” Solid defence and furious forechecking kept South Delta on their heels. Goalie Tyler Sedlacek was stellar. Cole Boyarski, Eric Noren and Corey Lazar completed the Watkin Motors’ offence. Quin Williamson, Zack Laranjo and Griffen Fletcher each scored twice as Billy D’s Family Restaurant Xplosion stormed the Winfield Bruins 9-3 in Pee Wee Super League action. Tyden Louis, Aaron Jodoin and Liam Reid added singles for the Xplosion. Said Xplosion head coach Dan Wilson: “We played a played a solid game all around, with some timely saves from our goalie, Eric Foufoulas, and 4 goals from our defencemen.” The Vernon Home Building Centre Vipers hold their Midget Tier 1 home tournament next Friday at Civic Arena. The Vipers will play North West Calgary Friday at 6:15 and then face Fort St. Jon (10:30 a.m.) and North Shore Winter Club (7:15 p.m.) in Saturday play. Fans are urged to bring items for the Vernon Food Bank.

Panthers face Condors Morning Star Staff

The VSS Panthers will meet the Duchess Park Condors of Prince George in first-round junior varsity football playoff action Wednesday night at Hillside Park in Kamloops. Dave Tetrault’s Cats finished the Interior Conference regular season Thursday by bouncing the Westsyde Blue Wave 48-14 in Kamloops. Grade phenom Ben Hladik sparked the Panthers with two touchdowns. The Panthers took

the opening kick-off and drove 90 yards, ending with a 10-yard touchdown scamper by Justin Haverkamp. Carson Lebrecque caught a pass from Keegan Vicklund for the conversion. Hladik recovered a fumble and rambled 40 yards for a score, while Vicklund ran in the point after to make it 16-0. Cornerback Liam Boyd broke hard on a Westsyde pass and intercepted the toss and romped 50 yards for the TD. Haverkamp plunged in for the convert. Zach Hyer took a reverse to the house and Vicklund finished off the half with a 20-yard run. “We were ready to play,” said Tetrault.

“Our offensive coordinator Ed Huber called a great game that the boys executed. Boyd’s interception was huge. It pumped up the whole team.” The second half saw several younger Cats get valuable experience on defence. Hladik scored the final TD on a stellar pass from Vicklund. Lebrecque was solid with eight tackles, including three for a loss. “We are playing well at the right time,” said Tetrault. “Wednesday night will be a real test for our squad. We will take on a touch Duchess Park squad. They took us to overtime last year. We have to be firing on cylinders.”

Byram has big plans GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

An appendicitis attack in the early part of last season nearly derailed Eric Byram’s cross-country skiing year before it started. Perseverance has paid off for the 17-year-old Vernon native as he will be competing with CrossCountry Canada’s national talent squad this season. He will be racing with the Alberta World Cup Academy in Canmore under coach Alain Parent. Byram is the only male from Western Canada to make the talent squad, and his big goal for the coming season is to make the junior national team. “It feels awesome,” said Byram, who spent the summer in Canmore for off-season training. “It’s great to have something to show for all the hard work. All the hard workouts have been pushed because I knew that it would pay off.” Byram, who raced with the Black Jack club out of Rossland last season, capped a stellar comeback following his surgery with a standout performance at nationals. It is what got him on the talent squad radar. “The appendicitis at the start kind of fizzled (my season) away,” said Byram. “But I was very happy with how nationals went. Being the top 1996-born boy in the country overall at nationals felt awesome.” While the sprint distances are where Byram excels, he said: “I strive to be an all-round skier as sprint races aren’t as plentiful as distance races.” The talent squad program identifies approximately 20 young athletes, both male and female, between the age of 15 and 18 as future national training centre athletes. The program is coordinated by Cross-Country Canada, but delivered by the four national development centres, Byram’s being the Alberta academy. The goal is to help prepare future athletes by developing the skills and knowledge required for a more seamless transition into a training centre. Byram also competes in biathlon, and lists his other hobbies as photography and videography, which he said offer a much-needed creative outlet to balance the strenuous demands of training.

Eric Byram of Vernon will ski for the national talent squad this nordic season. In the off-season, Byram goes into cross-training mode by biking (road and mountain), running and roller skiing. He tosses in a variety of gym and core workouts to keep his overall fitness at peak level. By training in Canmore in the off-season, he has the opportunity to strap on the skis on Haig glacier. Byram’s older brother, Joe, is a terrific athlete in his own right. The 19-year-old is entering his third year with the University of Alberta Golden Bears men’s swim team. However, you couldn’t pay Eric to switch sports with his big bro. “Opposite ends of the spectrum there,” he grinned. “It just seemed to be what we both loved and it just went from there. “It’s funny because my brother isn’t too fond of XC skiing and I’m the same with swimming. You’d really have to twist our arms to get us doing the other’s sport.” Byram thanked coaches Skeets Morel and Mary Edgar for guiding his development, and Stussi Sport for their sponsorship. “And, of course, my parents and family, putting up with my crabby moods after long workouts, the long travels, and providing the taxi service to and from workouts,” he said.

Grizzlies brush back Knights 5-4 Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Devon Hascarl provided three helpers as the Revelstoke Grizzlies shaded the North Okanagan Knights 5-4 Friday night at the Forum. The Grizzlies went to 5-10-0-2 in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. The Knights, who host the Princeton Posse today (3 p.m.) at NorVal Sports Centre, dipped to 8-7-0-1. Matt MacDonald, Matt Lucero, Coleton Dawson, Tre Mason and Kohl Bell scored for Revelstoke,

who outshot the Knights 35-34 with Vernon’s Aaron Brandoli backstopping the win. Blake Culbert, Logan Geefs, Cole Robin and Blaine Caton replied for the Knights, who trailed 2-1 and 4-2 by period scores. Geefs and Caton each added one assist in support of Zach Dyment. Vernon products Chad Thomas and Kenny Batke were also in the Grizzlies’ lineup. Lyle Hinds of Vernon refereed the game.

Meanwhile, former Pleasant Valley Saint Mitch Goodwin supplied 13 points, four rebounds and three steals as the UBC Okanagan Heat opened their third CIS Canada West season with a 72-60 loss to the No. 2 ranked Alberta Golden Bears Friday night in Kelowna. Second-year guard Greet Gill (Osoyoos, BC) was the Heat Landmark Cinemas Player of the Game behind a gutsy performance that produced 11 points, five rebounds and two steals in 30 minutes of play as a starter. Up only by seven at 19-12 after the first quarter, the Heat appeared to be doing their part to hang around Alberta. However, the Bears built a formidable lead in the second quarter, outscoring the Heat 23-14. The Heat tried to storm back in the fourth, going so far as to outscore the Bears 23-18, but it would be far from enough. Fifth-year guards Yassine Ghomari (Vancouver) and Landry Ndayitwayeko (Windsor, Ont.) added 11 points apiece for the Heat. The Heat turned the ball over 17 times to account for 14 Alberta points.

Vernon’s Harlan Orr pulled the hat trick as the Alberni Valley Bulldogs upset the host Coquitlam Express 6-4 in B.C. Hockey League action Friday night. Orr, an 18-year-old forward who started the season in Salmon Arm, has six goals and 10 points. Orr made it 2-0 in the first before Corey Mackin got the Express on the board. Goals from former Express Justin Georgeson, Ryan Buse and the winner from Hunter Stewart put the ‘Dogs up 5-1 after two. In the final frame, Coquitlam drew within a pair on goals by Bo Pieper and Joey Santucci but Orr iced it with his hat-trick goal into an empty net. Marc Biega had a late reply for Coquitlam. The Dawgs went to 4-13-2-1, tying them with the Trail Smoke Eaters for last overall. The Smoke Eaters welcomed new head Nick Deschenes by tying the visiting Victoria Grizzlies 4-4. Affiliate Jackson Purvis opened the scoring in the first with Storm Wahlrab replying late in the opening frame for the Grizz. Trail went up a pair on goals from Travis Stephens and Bryan Basilico, but Cole Pickup and Dante Hahn responded for the Grizz. Trail’s Jake Kauppila and Victoria’s Myles Fitzgerald exchange goals in the third. Nanaimo Clippers clipped the host Powell River Kings. 4-3.

Said Coughlin, who has four goals: “I’m getting a lot more comfortable, a lot more chances, and a I’m starting to bury them, which is good. It’s great to get the win on them. You know it’s going to be a good game coming in and we came out hard. It was good for us to get this W. “We just wanted it more tonight, right from the puck drop to the end. We were very physical tonight and we were able to just go around them. Our breakout was pretty good tonight, getting out of the zone and transitioning into the offensive zone.” Viper captain Ryan Renz returned after missing six weeks with an ankle injury. “It feels great,” said Renz. “Practice isn’t like a game in any way, so it was great getting back in my first game, and the guys came together for a hardfought win. It’s a great feeling in the dressing room right now. It was a big confidence thing. They’d be going into games unsure of themselves, but later went in thinking they could dominate, or find a way to win if we didn’t dominate. It comes down to confidence.” Added Viper head coach Jason Williamson: “The powerplay was dangerous at times, but at the same time, they were blocking a lot of shots. We threw lots at net, but we were just a little off. We made one adjustment and sure enough it works.” SNAKE BITES: Mitch Ferguson swiped the puck from the crease with Clark out of position to prevent McNicholas from converting into an open net early in the second period...New Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame inductees Sonja Gaudet, Ian Gibson, Russ Elsom (Enderby Legionnaires) and Ross MacDonald (representing his late father, Don) handled the ceremonial opening face-off.

In legal lingo, the mysterious “special damages” compensation category in this kind of case simply means your outof-pocket costs before the trial. Some examples are the costs of medications, medical and some other treatments, taxi or mileage reimbursement to drive to doctors’ appointments, and repair costs of damaged property (like getting a damaged car fixed). Of course, the expenses have to be as a result of the accident that caused your injuries.

CLAIMING MASSAGE AND ACUPUNCTURE COSTS WHEN INJURED Hurt in a car crash or other accident caused by someone else’s fault? You could get money compensation. This typically includes money for “special damages” (in addition to compensation for wage loss, pain and suffering, etc.).

Members of the B.C. Tree Fruits Co-operative elected a second member of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association executive to its board of directors at last week’s annual general meeting in Peachland. Jora Dhaliwal of Kelowna was elected to replace Philip Patara of Kelowna who did not run for re-election. He was elected last year to the board of the industry lobby group, the BCFGA. Re-elected to represent the northern half of the valley was Malcolm Mitchell of Lake Country. They were uncontested. The other growers representing the northern half of the valley are Colin Pritchard, Karmjit Gill and Kamlesh Parmar, all of Kelowna. Re-elected to represent the southern half of the valley were Robert Dawson of

Cawston and Nirmal Dhaliwal of Osoyoos. Dhaliwal is also a member of the board of the BCFGA, as well as being president of the BCFGA-owned Plant Improvement Company. The other directors representing growers in the southern part of the valley are Gordon Hahn of Oliver, Darshan Jassar of Penticton and Ron Vollo of Summerland. Current board president Rob Dawson will continue to hold that post until the new board meets Nov. 8, when directors will elect the president and two vice-presidents. Currently, Pritchard is the vice-president representing the north, while Nirmal Dhaliwal represents those from the south.

It’s 101 candles for Freda

Freda Nevill is celebrating her 101st birthday this year. Freda was born in England in 1912. When she was 23 she married and moved to Sierra Leone, Africa where she lived for 10 years. She then returned to England and worked for the British Embassy which sent her to Japan. It took two days flying to go from England to Japan in those days; the plane would stop to refuel and the passengers would spend the night in a hotel. After working in Japan for five years she met Thomas Nevill, who was working on the steamship on which she was travelling to the United States. They were married shortly after and settled in Vancouver with Tom’s two daughters, Becky and Ann. In 2002, Tom and Freda moved to Vernon to be nearer their daughter.

Freda Nevill celebrates her 101st birthday at Noric House, with her daughter Ann.

For the audience, Songs of the War Years is a sentimental musical journey through the era of World War Two but for Sally Evans it’s a dream come true. While sitting in a coffee shop with a good friend nine years ago, Sally shared her dream of performing a tribute to the men and women who lived through those years. She grew up in East Kelowna surrounded by that music, and the memories of her childhood time spent around the piano with her family are precious. Sally already knew the words to almost every song and with her experience working with seniors in recreation for many years, it was a dream that with a little encouragement could very possibly come true. Her friend, Diana, believed strongly in her vision and Sally began looking for a piano player extraordinaire. And that is when Molly Boyd came in to the picture. Well-known in her hometown of Vernon, Molly was and is the perfect musician for the show. She not only plays by ear she also knows an amazing number of songs and she has the energy and a genuine commitment to seniors to match Sally’s! They make a great pair on stage and off. It has been eight years since Sally and Molly began their journey of entertaining together. They have performed the War Songs show as well as two other shows to more than 12,000 people at more than 100 gigs throughout the Okanagan and the Kootenays. Their enthusiasm hasn’t waned a bit. They both love the music and being on stage and they really enjoy the reactions of and interacting with the audience. Sally and Molly love to bring the audience together as one through laughter, song

The format of Songs of the War Years has changed three times over the past eight years but both Sally and Molly and audience members polled agree not to change it too much. There are songs and stories that just cannot be left out. They decided last year that these songs should be heard every year around Remembrance Day as we must not forget the sacrifices that were made by so many during the Second World War. With so many of our veterans passing on, Sally and Molly encourage the families

of veterans to see the show. The memories are priceless and singing along is definitely encouraged. Younger people will be amazed at how many of the lyrics they know and the show gives an education and insight into wartime. Audience members of all ages comment on how they love the music, the energy and camaraderie. The eighth annual Songs of the War Years show is at Schubert Centre on Thursday. Doors open at 1 p.m. and showtime is 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets are $8 and are on sale now at Schubert Centre and at the door if available.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Good intentions may be based on false information. Carry out your due diligence before you get involved in something that isn’t likely to lead to riches. Keep life simple and cost-effective. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will not be disappointed in the results if you make significant alterations at home or mount a campaign to improve your professional position. Success is within reach. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Be strong and stand up to anyone trying to make decisions for you. Strive for self-improvement by showing doubters that you know what you are doing. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) It’s time to stop procrastinating and start getting down to brass tacks. You’ll attract attention, followers and support if you believe in your abilities and focus on your goals. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Past problems will resurface if you neglected to handle them properly. Be ready to do what’s necessary so that you can move forward and excel. Don’t make the same mistake twice. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Spend time with a friend or loved one. This is a great day to form important bonds by taking part in joint ventures. Exploring a new destination will be enlightening. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Explore information that can help you fare better at work.

Take a pass on an offer that is too good to be true. The only path to success lies in hard work. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Get back to basics and enjoy life’s little pleasures. Less stress and more fun should be your aim, along with spending time with the people you love most. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be a participant in all that life offers today. Get out and network, but most of all, don’t linger at home, where you are likely to meet with disapproval or complaints. Do something that makes you happy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Travel and the opportunity to share what you have to offer will change the way you think. An opportunity to do something that counts and to make a difference is within reach. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) If you juggle things around to get the most for the least, it will pay off in the end. Change is good, but only if you can stay within your budget.

Hormones Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Gurpreet’s teachings travel the world The teacher’s wisdom has been compiled into a book to help guide readers on their journey towards selfrealization Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff

In her travels around the world, Carole Davis-McMechan has sat with gurus in India and met Sufi mystics in Afghanistan. But her search for self-realization finally ended back home in Vernon, when she met Gurpreet, an awakened teacher who gives retreats across Canada and internationally. “I had given up, thinking only saints and holy people could reach the awakened state,” said Davis-McMechan, a mother of two grown children. “Eight years before I met her, I said, ‘I’m done.’” But meeting Gurpreet was an experience I will never forget. She is an enlightened master who teaches that anyone can awake to their true selves.” After several years of study with Gurpreet, Davis-McMechan asked if she could compile her teachings into a book. Wake Up! Awakening to your True Self is the result and already the book is garnering wide acclaim. Published in August, it has sold more than 500 copies in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. At the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany, it drew attention from publishers from China, Germany, Indonesia, Collins/Harper in India, Argentina and Egypt. It is now being translated into French, German, Spanish, Turkish and Hindi. “The purpose of this book and why it came into being is because there is such a need for people to wake up to who they really are by seeing their created self, their ego and how this part of themselves is creating such deep unhappiness, with the wanting and needing and having to have creating anxiety and not reaching that place of peace,” said Davis-McMechan. She said Gurpreet’s teachings are radical: there is no spirituality, no dogma, no belief systems, no mysticism. “Instead, these words help us to see our own belief systems, our patterns and our created self to embrace everything we see inside ourselves in a kind and loving way, where there is nothing to change and nothing to fix.” Divided into two sections, the book contains a compilation of Gurpreet’s knowledge

Katherine MortiMer/Morning Star

Carole Davis-McMechan holds a copy of the book she has edited on the work of Gurpreet, an awakened teacher who will be in Vernon later this month for a weekend retreat. and insights. The first section is a selection of questions and answers gathered from Gurpreet’s retreats in 2011 and 2012. The second section offers a discourse on connections (one-on-one talks) she has had with those seeking self-realization, addressing a wide range of issues, from death and grief, fear and anxiety to self-sabotage. “Gurpreet’s words grace these pages and the simplicity, the wisdom, the truth and the love that this book conveys comes directly from her.” Born and raised in Vernon, DavisMcMechan comes from a pioneer family who came to the area in 1904. She began her spiritual journey at 15, when she came across a copy of The Tibetan Book of the Dead. “I had no religion as a kid, and grew up in a very open-minded home,” she said. “But I was immediately fascinated by the book’s

message, that death is not the end; it is simply a transition point in the cycle of many lives. There was something compelling on those pages, and it marked the beginning of my very long and difficult search for awakening and self-realization. “I have sat with the most self-realized people on the planet, and these people are enlightened. But I got so tired of seeing these awakened masters — I was not there to adore them, I wanted to be awakened.” She connected with Gurpreet by chance when she received an e-mail about a workshop she was doing in Vernon in 2011. But having given up on her search for enlightenment, Davis-McMechan hit the delete button. A week later, she received another e-mail reminder of the retreat and figured she had nothing to lose; with a guarded attitude, she attended. “I asked Gurpreet as many questions as I

could and question after question, she didn’t bat an eye — she welcomed them all, answering me in a direct yet warm, kind way. “I could see Gurpreet was somehow different. She told us that she had worked for and found her awakening and that she could teach us how to find it too. It’s all heart work, not head work, but the monkey chatter is gone. Awakening is living with your real self, it’s facing everything you are with love. I keep doing the work as I have lots more to see.” Since that first retreat, Davis-McMechan has attended many more and has accompanied Gurpreet to Istanbul, Turkey to facilitate a retreat there. In editing the book, she worked with volunteers to transcribe the questions and answers and personal connections with Gurpreet, and gives particular credit to Karen Six of Vernon for her help with the book. Born in Punjab, India, Gurpreet and her husband immigrated to Edmonton, Alta. in 1984. In 1994, the sudden death of a dear cousin shook her deeply and caused her to begin her search for answers to the meaning of life. Tragedy struck again when she lost her husband to a heart attack. She was not particularly spiritual, but the pain of losing loved ones opened her to explore spirituality and different types of meditation, chanting and mantras. She began to follow inner guidance with her whole heart. “The very first recognition that came to her was the need to surrender,” said DavisMcMechan. When she met a spiritual teacher in Edmonton, Gurpreet began to realize there was a different way to live. “Through this journey, she established herself in profound inner purity, knowing, selflessness and simplicity of heart,” said DavisMcMechan. “And in 2007 she became one with truth; she awakened. This transformational experience led her to enlightenment.” Still living in Edmonton, Gurpreet travels internationally holding seminars. All proceeds from the book will allow her to continue teaching around the world Gurpreet’s next seminar in Vernon is Nov. 28, 29 and Dec. 3. The Thursday evening begins at 6:30 p.m.; Friday and Saturday will include two sessions from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. and 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., each day. Wake Up! has received Editor’s Choice Award from an independent group of editors from U.S. publishing houses. It is available by contacting Davis-McMechan at 250309-2736. The $20 cost includes tax. It is also available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Chapters for $21.95 US.

In the group were two optometrists, eight Lions, and three friends of Lions who went and made a difference in the lives of the people from Estanzuelas. They travelled in a group from Seattle, and once in San Salvador, they travelled by bus to various locations. The nearest hotel was in a town called Berlin, a one-hour road trip on narrow, winding roads. The people of Estanzuelas were very grateful for the help that they received from this high-energy group. Back in the capital, they visited the Lions of San Salvador and gave supplies of Braille paper, white canes, and educational supplies for the deaf and the blind children. They toured a school for the blind as well as a school for the deaf. It was wonderful for them to see how the Lions over there are looking after their own. The Lions of San Salvador were very grateful for the help that our group provided. Past

Linda Werner and Betty Koutnik have recently returned from a trip to El Salvador, where they handed out glasses that were donated to the Recycle for Sight program.

“Please know that these glasses are put to good use and are gratefully received.” — Norm Jaques president Linda handed out Canadian Lions pins to the Lions who were at their club house. Lion Linda is the chairperson for the Lions Recycle for Sight

and is responsible for the collection of the glasses, and was so proud to be able to see the look on the faces when the people were able to read.

The Armstrong Lions Club would like to thank the many citizens of Armstrong who donate their glasses. Please know that these glasses are put to good use and are gratefully received. Lions Betty and Linda prove that Lions serve! Norm Jaques is publicity chair for the Armstrong Lions Club.

the authors are from B.C.,” said Kristy Hennings, Vernon library reference librarian and book club facilitator. The 2014 titles include works such as The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill, Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood and John Steinbeck’s classic, The Grapes of Wrath. nnn The library invites you to use its space to meet with friends and play your favourite board games. Veteran gamer and librarian James Stuart will be on-hand to moderate and play everything from From Settlers of Catan to historical war gaming. “Bring your games, bring your opponents or come alone and meet others who share your hobby,” Stuart. Lengthier games can be stowed away and picked up again the following session. The librarian will bring Mage War, for fans of this board game. Three board-game sessions are scheduled upstairs at the library at 6 p.m. Nov. 14 and Dec. 12. nnn The Vernon library invites you to join an ongoing campaign of mystery and horror. A traditional pencil and paper role-playing night will be hosted once a month at the library. Travel back to the 1920s and join a team of globetravelling investigators and attempt to unravel a complex and ominous mystery. No experience with role-playing necessary. Two sessions are planned in the upstairs community room Nov. 28.

Cultures connect for Celtic Revival Kalamalka Highlanders head east of Scotland for upcoming concert

Morning Star Staff

don Weixl Photo

Sadok Ukrainian dancers with the Kalamalka Highlanders Pipe Band, the Arran Campbell Memorial Youth Pipe Band and Highland dancers from the Argyll School of Performing Arts and Motion perform at the Mini Okanagan Tattoo at the Vernon Army Camp parade ground in August. The groups come together again for the Celtic Revival concert at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Saturday, Nov. 9.

Hussar boots and the colourful, floral costumes of Ukrainian dance may be a long way from the kilts of the Scottish Highlands, but in Vernon next weekend, they will blend as part of the Celtic Revival concert. Hosted by Vernon’s very own Kalamalka Highlanders Pipe Band, the revival celebrates just about everything Celtic, but is also heading to eastern Europe for a culturally diverse showcase featuring local talent. Joining the pipers and drummers from the Kalamalka Highlanders and its junior company, the Arran Campbell Youth Memorial Pipe Band, will be dancers from the Sadok Ukrainian Dance Ensemble, Highland dancers from the Argyll School of Performing Arts and Motion and the Scottish Country Dancers. “Want to know how Scottish pip-

ers and Ukrainian dancers can be related? All will be explained at the concert,” said Kalamalka Highlanders president Norm Crerar. Also performing will be djembe drummers, the visiting Shuswap Pipes and Drums, a flute soloist, vocal soloists, a pipe band choir, and the band-within-a-band, Kilt.45. “A few years ago, four members of the Kalamalka Highlanders Pipe Band thought it might be fun to form a small band to share with the world their vast and diverse musical talents. They came up with the brilliantly clever name of Kilt.45,” said Highlanders drum sergeant Neil Morrison, who is part of the group. The band quickly and effortlessly learned and perfected several Celtictype tunes and every once and a while, when the universe needs a little treat, they perform for grateful audiences, and the Celtic Revival concert at the PAC is one such event. The Celtic Revival at the Performing Arts Centre is Saturday, Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25/adult, $20/senior, and $18 student/child at the Ticket Seller, 549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

Writer aims pen on accurate portrayal of the disabled

For The Morning Star

Adam Pottle is a busy man. A novelist, poet and a PhD candidate in English at the University of Saskatchewan, Pottle, who was born with impaired hearing in both ears, is helping to create a new branch of Canadian literature study focused on portrayals of disability. Pottle will be in Vernon to read from his new novel, Mantis Dreams: The Journal of Dr. Dexter Ripley, at Gallery Vertigo Wednesday. Pottle’s own experience with disability has inspired him to explore both how persons with disabilities are treated in society and how they are portrayed in literature. “We need to portray disability not just as a stigma or stereotype but perpetuate the idea that disability can be a means to an identity or can give you a new, creative perspective on life,” he said. Through Pottle’s fiction and poetry — including the poetry collection Beautiful Mutants, which was shortlisted for two 2012 Saskatchewan Book Awards and the

Acorn-Plantos People’s Poetry Award — he explores how disabilities can shape a person’s identity. Mantis Dreams: The Journal of Dr. Dexter Ripley is a searing satire that ridicules both political correctness and the restrictive world of academia. This first novel is also a difficult glance into the world of a man battling a rare and debilitating disease. A wheelchair-user living voluntarily in a care home, Dexter Ripley lashes out at all those around him, yet he also shares his insights on life as a care home resident, his relationships with his sister and her son, his career as a professor, and, despite his bitter nature, his goal of creating a philosophy based on positivity and imagination. Pottle will be joined on Wednesday by acclaimed fiction writer, editor, and journalist Dennis E. Bolen, who will be reading from his first collection of poetry, Black Liquor. Bolen is a former parole officer who explains that there were few opportunities

for creative writers in the late ‘70s. “I craved a career that might offer non-boredom, so I talked my way into the federal prison service… Then I wrote about it,” he said. Like the criminals he has worked with, some of the characters in Bolen’s fiction misbehave. “Misbehaviour ends not with a bang but a simper; my protagonists do little but despair; my villains are often oblivious to their own villainy,” he said. “This is an interpretation of what I concluded after a 23-year career mucking about with criminals. I offer it through my books as a kind of antidote to the wrongness of most contemporary portrayals of social misbehaviour in popular art, as well as the tragically superficial coverage typically offered by news media.” Doors to the Vertigo Voices with Pottle and Bolen open Wednesday, Nov. 6 at 7 p.m. and readings begin at 7:30 p.m. Gallery Vertigo is located at 3001-31 St. #1 (upstairs). Admission is by donation. For more information, call (250) 503-2297.

CRAZY ALL MY LIFE

Artists flourish with a little exposure VPAG opens members show, Exposed!, and hosts book signing Morning Star Staff

April 26, 2014 / 8PM / $39.95 (+gst) VERNON PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE The Ticket Seller Box Office 250-549-SHOW(7469) or toll free at 1-866-311-1011 www.ticketseller.ca

The Vernon Public Art Gallery is about to give exposure to local artists with its annual members exhibition. Produced by VPAG members, artwork for the exhibition, which opens Thursday, contains two- and threedimensional works of modest sizes and is a celebration of creativity and artistic production by aspiring artists, said the gallery’s executive director Dauna Kennedy Grant. “It’s an opportunity for artists to exhibit work in a professional gallery setting as well as showcase their art for sale,” she said. “We want to show our appreciation to our membership and this is one small gesture in doing so.” The exhibition’s ambiguous title, Exposed!, is open to interpretation. Member artists have used a variety of themes and choice of mediums and subject matter to interpret the theme.

The Vernon Public Art Gallery opens its annual members exhibition, Exposed, Thursday, Nov. 7. The group show features artwork left up to the interpretation of the artist(s). Cover of Patricia Ainslie’s book, below right, of Okanagan Artists in their Studios. In 2012, the exhibition featured a number of studies of the human figure. This year, the gallery is encouraging artists to further explore the title and is offering prizes in three categories: photography, the human body, and a people’s choice award. The exhibition is also a VPAG fundraiser. All the art is available for purchase and proceeds support the artists, who created the work, with a small percentage going back to support the gallery. “Because the works of art are of a modest

size, the price is very reasonable and a great opportunity for art lovers to own or gift an original piece of art,” said Kennedy Grant. Thursday’s opening reception will also feature special guest Patricia Ainslie, former curator of Calgary’s Glenbow Museum, who will sign copies of her new book, Okanagan Artists in their Studios, which also features photographs by Kelowna’s Glenna Turnbull. In the book, 13 Okanagan-based artists with national reputations, including

Vernon’s Julie Oakes, Falkland’s Ann Kipling and Commonage area artist Bryan Ryley, are shown at work in their home-based studios. All the artists selected have made a contribution to the development of the visual arts in Canada far beyond the Okanagan, through their own work, as well as teaching, mentoring younger artists and exhibiting their work, said Ainslie. The opening reception of Exposed! is Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m., with the book signing at 6:30 p.m., at the VPAG, 3228-31st Ave.

The exhibition, along with Stephen Foster’s Re-Mediating Curtis: Remix and the Kama? Aboriginal Ar ts Collective’s Tr a n s f o r m a t i o n s , runs until Dec. 23. Admission is by donation.

Grandpa never left the frat house

Bad Grandpa

hen his crack-head mom has to return to jail, little Billy (Jackson Nicoll) has to go live with his deadbeat dad a few states over. To get there, Billy must to travel with his reluctant, recently widowed grandpa (Johnny Knoxville). What ensues is a wild and raunchy road trip that ends up being surprisingly touching. We say, “It’s not just a bunch of crazy stunts, there’s a Taylor and Howe story to it.” TAYLOR: I’m not a fan of the Jackass crew. I’m not big on slapstick, stupidity and was a little too old for such shenanigans by the time the MTV show materialized. I saw the first Jackass movie out of curiosity and it made me giggle a couple times. But the TV show and the movies are just the guys running around pranking and stunting, with no narrative. Bad Grandpa involves some stunts, but it is more like Borat, in that there is a script, there are characters, but the world is not in on the gag. I was surprised when it became clear that this was going to be a storied film. I was even more surprised when it sucked me in. HOWE: I, on the other hand, hadn’t seen any of the Jackass movies or the TV show, but I did know what sort of movie this was going to be and to be truthful, I was really not looking that forward to it. Saying that, it also sucked me in and I found myself laughing, a lot. There was one scene where I was laughing so hard, I had tears in my eyes. Even now when I think about it, it stills makes me chuckle to myself. TAYLOR: Well that’s a good sign. I think folks who don’t care for rude buffoonery could find something funny in

Reel Reviews

Must get tickets to the show I read about in Live Wire!

this film, if only for the reactions of the (sometimes) ridiculously foolish people who are the butt of the jokes. At one point, Grandpa has had enough of Billy spoiling his amorous advances on the ladies (insert censored popular rhyming phrase here), and he packages the kid up to send him to his dad via UPS. When the ladies at the office discover there’s a child in the box, they seem to actually consider sending him anyway. Although there are some good laughs along the way, what makes the film succeed is the odd couple aspect of over-worldly child and horny old man. A palpable, believable relationship develops between the two main characters that ends up creating a bit of real drama, in a fake environment, surrounded by hidden cameras. It’s pretty clever

and well done, for a movie full of sex and poop jokes. HOWE: I will agree with you, Bad Grandpa, for me anyway, is the funniest movie I have seen this year. Knoxville was very funny as the grandpa, but the real star of the show was little Billy. He was great going up to random people asking them his strange questions. — Howe gives Bad Grandpa 3.5 vending machines out of 5. — Taylor gives it 3.5 wedgies out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Photography show to benefit Kindale Morning Star Staff

It started with an easy click of a button, says Jennifer Braun, who is about to hold her first photography exhibition at the Bean to Cup coffee house downstairs gallery. The Vernon secondary school student’s exhibition, First Impressions, shows Braun’s unique perspective on common vistas and her stunning black and white photography is sure to delight and intrigue, said exhibition curator Donna Mair. Braun’s interest in photography started when at the age of 13 her brother loaned her his digital camera for a trip to Kingfisher to watch the salmon run on the Shuswap River. “Since then, both my knowledge and passion for photography has grown,” said Braun, who is now a member of the Vernon Camera Club. “I strive to make the most out of my photographic opportunities and I hope you enjoy my work.”

Vernon student Jennifer Braun, below, is showing her photography, including this image of a downtown alley, at the Bean to Cup coffee house.

Braun’s exhibition is in support of the Kindale Developmental Association, a local non-profit society that provides a wide range of services to people with developmental

and other disabilities throughout the North Okanagan. At the opening night reception, Wednesday, Nov. 6, from 6:30 to 9 p.m., 50 cents from every chai latté sold will go to Kindale. “Come meet the artist and enjoy a sweet treat and music while you view the art,” said Bean to Cup manager Kunal Chander. Braun’s art will be available to view until Dec. 1. For more information, visit www.facebook. com/beantocupgallery.
