Student sends a message LISA VANDERVELDE Morning Star Staff

One girl holding a simple statement can make quite an impression. Grade 12 Vernon Secondary School student Georgia Tooke isn’t rejoicing at the extension of summer break, but can’t wait to start her final year of school. With no end to the teachers strike in sight, and her graduation year on hold, she took to the street to let the public know she wants to be in school. Tooke’s signs with the words “Don’t choose sides choose learning,” “Honk for resolution,” “Support learning,” and “I want to go to school,” garnered plenty of attention as she protested in front of the courthouse on 27th Street most of the day Wednesday and Thursday. “I really hope they can put their differences aside and put their ideas together to change the education system as we know it,” said Tooke. “This could be an opportunity to spark a learning revolution.”

Grade 12 student Georgia Tooke just wants to get back to school. She shared that message in front of the courthouse on 27th Street this week.

Economist in the running for top city seat RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

An economist and community volunteer has cast his eyes on Vernon’s top job. Victor Cumming has thrown his hat into the ring for mayor for the Nov. 15 civic election. “There are some exciting challenges for Vernon and Vernon needs strong leader- Victor Cumming ship,” said the 59-yearold economic researcher and regional economist who has lived in the community since 1992. “We need a council with broad experi-

ence and I see myself with that skill-set.” Born in Golden and raised in Naramata, Cumming has a bachelor of arts degree in economics and geography and a master of arts in rural planning and development. He has taught economic development for Simon Fraser University for a decade and his consulting firm provides economic development, planning and operation assistance to local, regional and First Nations governments across Canada. Since arriving in Vernon, Cumming has coached soccer and football and been involved with the Okanagan Landing Community Association, the Ribbons of Green Trail Society, the North Okanagan Areas Trust and Trinity United Church. “What I bring is balance. I have spent my

daytime with economic development but I have spent my free time on social issues,” he said. “If we have great parks and facilities, it makes Vernon a better place to live.” Cumming insists new approaches are needed to address the infrastructure deficit in Vernon. “You can’t just pay your way out of these challenges, it’s too expensive. We need to innovate,” he said. As for creating jobs, he says Vernon’s diverse economy is a positive. “The strength is with existing businesses already here. They are strong locally, regionally and internationally. The focus is, how do we grow those businesses?” One issue not on Cumming’s radar is

possible amalgamation of Greater Vernon. “That’s a non-Vernon issue. Vernon is not in a position to say amalgamation (should proceed). The jurisdictions around Vernon have to decide. Until then, it’s cooperation,” he said. Former city councillor Klaus Tribes has already announced he is running for mayor and it’s expected that at least one other individual may enter the race to replace Rob Sawatzky, who is not seeking re-election. “I think my chances are good based on my skills and abilities,” said Cumming, who is married, has four children and two grandchildren. “But if someone comes along who is better qualified and is desired by the community, fantastic.”

Propane tank hit ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

A crash into a Vernon gas station’s propane tank caused some tense moments Wednesday. Vernon Fire Rescue Services received a call of a vehicle striking a propane valve near Super Save Gas on 25th Avenue and 43rd Street just before 1:30 p.m. “An elderly man driving north on 43rd Street sustained a medical condition, though it’s unconfirmed as to what he suffered, and went off the road,” said Capt. Reinhard Mann of VFRS. “His vehicle hit a cement abutment and ended up pushing the propane tank over about a foot, ruptured a couple of lines and two valves.” Once firefighters isolated the propane, they dealt with injuries to the

driver. He suffered facial lacerations along with the underlying medical condition, and was transported by ambulance to Vernon Jubilee Hospital. The incident, said Mann, was quite serious. “There was a lot of propane leaking, quite a strong smell in the area and of course it’s a busy intersection with everybody trying to get somewhere and we’re trying to keep them away,” he said. Traffic was halted from going on 43rd Street at 24th Avenue for a couple of hours while officials repaired the tank and ruptured valves, and removed the gentleman’s vehicle from the scene. ROGER KNOX/MORNING STAR The gas station was shut down for Vernon Fire Rescue Services members and a Super Save Gas technician work to repair a propane tank and safety precautions, and power to the ruptured valve lines after a car crashed into a cement abutment and pushed into the tank shortly before propane distribution system for the gas 1:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Super Save Gas Station at 43rd Street and 25th Avenue. station was cut off.

Video recounts police officer being under fire KATHY MICHAELS Black Press

The harrowing moments when a Vernon Mountie faced a hail of bullets while in the line of duty were relived as day two of Michael Edward Ellis’ attempted murder trial got underway. “He’s shooting at me, he’s shooting at me, he’s shooting at me with a rifle,” a voice identified as belonging to Cpl. Richard Gingras could be heard saying in video and audio footage recorded July 31, 2012 and played in a Kelowna courtroom Wednesday morning. “He’s got a big, tall rifle and he’s shooting at me.” Gingras, a dog handler out of Vernon, was directed to get off the road and avoid the bullets coming from the suspect vehicle by another officer, but he explained that was impossible. “It would be more (dangerous) for me to slow down and get off the road,” he said. The area of Westside Road where Gingras got in the crosshairs of gunmen was windy, residential and without adequate space to maneuver. Despite dangerous driving conditions, and the bullets continually being fired at him, Gingras kept ahead of the suspect vehicle, calling out his location to other officers. “He’s behind me, he’s trying to push me off, but I can’t pull over he’ll shoot at me again,” he said, asking for a road block to be set up on the Vernon side of Westside Road.

MORNING STAR FILE PHOTO

RCMP search a vehicle after a chase along Westside Road July 31, 2012. At that point in the tape, another police voice can be heard asking for permission to shoot at a moving vehicle, while another offered support to Gingras. “We got ya — we’re here, Richard,” said the unnamed officer. Police then were given permission to take “whatever action was required,” as a “member’s life was threatened.” Police fired rounds at the moving vehicle, but it was ultimately spike belts that slowed the gunmen down. With two punctured tires, they drove on bare rims as far as they could. They abandoned the truck near the Swan Lake junction on Highway 97 and continued on foot. They were apprehended

shortly thereafter. Ellis, who has been in police custody since his 2012 arrest, leaned forward in the prisoner’s booth as the tape played. For Const. Jetta Williams, memories of that day clearly weigh heavily. Williams was around 15 minutes behind Gingras in the chase that started on Boucherie Road in West Kelowna. The video and audio footage played to the court Tuesday came from her cruiser, and spanned the entire distance of Westside Road. From the video it’s clear that the chase took place during peak tourism hours, as the windy stretch was busy with pedestrians, vehicles carrying recreational gear and RVs. It also was fire season, and road blocks set up for fire crews could be seen as she weaved throughout the traffic at speeds as high as 120 km/hr, despite posted speed limits of 40 km/hr. Crown Counsel Duncan Campbell asked Williams if she felt comfortable driving at those speeds, given the conditions and as she responded her voice cracked and she started to tear up. “I felt safe for braking... but we were trying to get to the police officer who was being shot at,” she told the court. The court also heard form Sgt. Brian Nightengale Tuesday. He mapped out the crime scene in GPS and created a map highlighting what happened, where. In particular, he marked where a

Ministry of Transportation vehicle gave chase to the trio in an attempt to get a licence plate number. Nightengale noted bullet holes on its frame could be seen. He also mapped out where various vehicle changes of the alleged shooters were made. They started in a grey minivan, then car-jacked a red pickup and later a black pickup. Ellis is facing more than 20 charges, including several counts of attempted murder, several counts of robbery and weapons offences. Shawn Adam Wysynski and Ashlee Collins confessed their role in the incident in June and will be sentenced this fall. Collins was shot by police fire when she was riding in the box of a stolen truck. She’s recovered from her injuries.

ATV slams into library

AUTOBODY

By the time one officer started his police vehicle, the quad had already collided with the Enderby branch of Okanagan Regional Library. “The officer heard the collision, started his vehicle, completed a U-turn then immediately attended to the accident scene where both members began assisting the two women,” said Hogg. Both women were transported to hospital and treated for facial, spinal and internal injuries. Speed and alcohol are considered to be contributing factors. The police investigation is continuing.

Morning Star Staff

Two women suffered serious injuries after the ATV they were riding crashed into Enderby’s library. Just after 11 p.m. Sunday, the two women were riding a single all-terrain vehicle quad on Belvedere Street. “The women failed to maintain control and collided with a building, causing significant injuries to both women,” said Enderby RCMP Sgt. Neil Hogg. At the time of the accident, police officers were completing tasks on an unrelated investigation and were parked on Belvedere Street as the quad passed.

On Tuesday, a new organization called Lavington Is For Everyone asked trustees to pur-

sue an environmental assessment of the pellet plant proposal, including potential hazards for Lavington Elementary students and staff. The group also wants Pinnacle’s technical data subjected to a peer review. “We need an independent, respected peer review to hear all of the data,” said Tom Coape-

The Vernon School District will consider all opinions before deciding whether it supports a proposed pellet plant next to Lavington Elementary. About 20 parents and children asked the board Tuesday to officially oppose Pinnacle Renewable Energy’s bid for a pellet plant because of the potential health impact on students at the school. However, three trustees were absent at Tuesday’s special meeting and chairperson Bill Turanski says the matter won’t be considered further until all trustees are present. “We will review all of the information we’ve been given, including from Pinnacle and we will make a decision,” he said. The next regular board meeting is Sept. 24, but a special meeting could be called. Even if the school board opposes Pinnacle’s application

Arnold, LIFE spokesperson. Coape-Arnold insists that particulate matter and fugitive dust could pose a risk to students because the school is 278 metres away from the site of the proposed plant. “White Valley is a narrow valley known for inversions and poor air quality,” he said. Coape-Arnold says his group is not opposed to industrial activities, but just not next to the school. “There are lots of suitable sites for this facility,” he said. One parent told the board that there is a perceived risk for children from pellet dust. “I’m already wanting to move my children from Lavington,” she said. Other concerns revolve around noise, light pollution and truck and railroad traffic. “School Road is very busy already with no sidewalks. Speed will continue to be a problem,” said parent Michelle Casanova.

However, not everyone is confident the OCP will assist people pursuing land use changes. “I don’t know how useful a document is once you put all of the (provincial) ministry requirements in,” said Coun. Earl Shipmaker. “It can be too cumbersome for someone outside of the system.”

Project delayed Morning Star Staff

A previously announced Silver Star Road detour has been rescinded until the end of September when an overlay project begins. Dates for the project will be confirmed later by the City of Vernon. The work will occur between Duncan Road and Foothills Drive.

Very happy campers

F

or years, I’ve listened to friends extoll the virtues of camping. And for years, I’ve been able to resist the lure of sleeping and eating outside. It just seemed like too much work: packing up the food, the board games and the myriad other things required for a weekend away. And the reality of it wasn’t appealing. What if it rains? What if rattlesnakes slither into our tent? I’m not a camping novice. My first camping experience was as a 12-year-old when my parents took us around Europe in a Volkswagen camper — the classic with the pop-up roof — and the five of us had a wonderful time, the Katherine Mortimer memories of which still linger: camping on the south coast of England in November not perhaps as happy a memory as camping on the beach on Spain’s Costa del Sol, with its sunshine and palm trees. A few more camping experiences happened over the years: the Oregon Coast, Hornby Island and Tofino. But we were not a regular camping family by any means. And once the Volkswagen was sold, that was pretty much it for us. I told people I preferred the luxury of a hotel, preferably five-star. Of course, my budget was really better served by a one-star motel. For the past few years, my daughter has been asking if we could go camping. When friends offered us their tent and equipment a few months ago, I enthusiastically shared the news with her and her response was, “But Mommy, I want to go in a camper, not a tent.” Gosh, not sure where she got that idea. This summer, our very kind and generous friends let us borrow their camper and so last month we found ourselves camping as a family for the first time. This was not wilderness camping: we were at Kekuli Bay — close enough to come home for showers and pick up anything we had forgotten to pack. But we may as well have been a million miles away. They had made it as easy as possible for us: driving the camper to the site and picking it up at the end of our stay (even

booking the spot), setting up lovely rugs on the ground and bug-proof tents around the picnic table. The only thing we needed to bring was food, drinks and plenty of Jiffy Pop. Yes, it was truly camping for dummies. We had a great spot with a gorgeous view of Kal Lake, enough shrubbery on either side of us to ensure privacy and peace and quiet — this was no rock and roll campground. There were no stereos blasting, just the sound of birds, people chatting, kids playing in the playground or riding their bikes, marmots dashing in and out of their burrows. My husband laughingly referred to me as a princess who would never be able to put up with all that camping entails: outhouses, ants all over the picnic table and washing the dishes in cold water. And OK, I probably could have done without ants crawling toward our plates as we ate. But there is nothing like waking up early, firing up the Coleman stove and drinking coffee outside on a warm summer morning, relaxing on a lounge chair and reading a good book, with absolutely no demands on one’s time. It’s not something most of us get. A “staycation” is all well and good, but being home tends to involve a million chores: laundry has to get done, dishes washed. While camping, there was nothing we had to do, nowhere we had to rush to. There was no cell service — hallelujah — and so no one could reach us. There was an actual pay phone at the site for emergencies, however. Oh, and the outhouses have flush toilets, so a bit of a bonus for us neophytes. For three days we ate, played board games, swam in the lake and ate gourmet meals ranging from hot dogs to banana pancakes. Our daughter would say her favourite part was having the freedom to ride her bike by herself all over the campsite. For us, it was the time together as a family: no dashing off to activities, no play dates, no errands, no chores and no texting. Camping that close to home probably makes us wimps in the eyes of those who love the wilderness. But for us, the gift of uninterrupted time together as a family was absolutely priceless. In fact, coming home was something of a shock to my system. I would have traded the luxury of hot, running water on tap for just a few more days of not having a schedule.

It’s democracy in action. Two individuals have now declared their intention to run for Vernon mayor during Nov. 15’s civic election and it’s anticipated that others may also step forward. On top of this, candidates are also needed for Vernon councillor and elected positions in Armstrong, Enderby, Spallumcheen, Coldstream, Lumby and Lake Country, as well as the North Okanagan, ColumbiaShuswap and Central Okanagan regional districts. There will also be seats available on the local school boards. Most residents will take it for granted that there will be numerous names on the ballot to chose from. But, keep in mind, that many electoral area seats are filled by acclamation because there is only one candidate, while in other jurisdictions, there are just enough hopefuls to pull an election together. We would hope that while the nomination period is underway, residents throughout the North Okanagan will consider letting their name stand. There’s no question that civic politics take up considerable time for meetings, research and social engagements, but it’s also an opportunity to be active in your community and make a difference. And a variety of skill sets is critical given the challenges facing all communities, including aging infrastructure and public demands for services while trying to ensure a fiscally responsible organization. Councils are generally dominated by retirees or the self-employed, and while their involvement is positive, a broadbased perspective of ages, genders and economic backgrounds would be welcome. If you are interested in running for office, contact your local municipality or regional district for more information or speak to a current or former official about the pros and cons that come along with such a responsibility. Politicians are too often not held in high-esteem, but remember that they still play a critical role in our society, and particularly at the local level, they can make a difference.

education system There has been a lot of talk about our B.C. education system lately, government vs. teachers. Perhaps it is time to reflect on who is being hurt by this continuing dispute and it appears to be the students, through no fault of theirs. I consider myself fortunate, along I am sure, with many of my long past fellow students. I attended school in Kitimat in the early 1950s. We were in a two-room school at the smelter site with all classes and students together (who came from all over and some could hardly speak English). We had one teacher teaching math and one doing general studies, while I am sure the other teacher was getting ready for his or her class. Sure there were problems, but everyone, including teachers, worked together to provide a great environment of learning. While more resources were

Speaking up for education

ilda Webster's letter to the editor contained some interesting memories of her school years. I've seen a lot of letters that demonstrate no respect for me, a modern-day teacher. Yours is simply the one I've chosen to respond to. While I will say your idea of just making do and getting to work has some merit and there is a time for it, frankly your romanticization of people not complaining is ridiculous and would leave us with a much worse world than the one we have. But first, comments on some points you make. First, the length of the school year. The days in session are shaped by long-standing practice. Teachers had no say in how long it would be and it hasn't changed much since you went to school. If no one got a raise unless they work more hours than in the 1940s, I don't think anyone would ever get a raise. Second, pro-D days are work days. We attend work to improve our teaching skills. We don't get the day off. And in case you didn't know, these days were not taken from the school year but were added to it by teachers' request. But your first real point seems to be that we teachers should just make do and get on with it. I wish you were paying more attention because we have been. The underfunding of B.C. schools began more than 10 years ago. The illegal stripping of our contract happened more than 10 years ago. Since then, B.C. teachers have gone to work and done everything in their power to make schools work despite massive reductions in support. If anything, that is our weakness and how the government

uses students to take advantage of us. They know that once in the classroom, no matter how poorly they treat us, with the kids sitting in front of us, we will do everything we can to make things work as well as we can, including, in a lot of cases, teachers putting their own money into classrooms for basic supplies. This means, unless you look, the cuts in funding are less obvious to the public than they have been to teachers in the classroom. Your second main point is the value of not complaining. Really? It's that simple? How often would failing to complain have made the world a poorer place than now? Why did women get the vote? They

being built in the townsite, we spent one semester in the Nechako Centre shopping mall that had big display windows with folks walking by and peering in at the classes in progress. No students seemed to be distracted by this. It was about fun and learning. We had some great teachers, and maybe some not so much, but everyone, including our small school board, made sure learning was a priority. The teachers also spent hours helping with extra curricular activities. We had basketball, hockey, and movie afternoons, with their great all around support. We all communicated and talked (perhaps a lost art today). Yes, I was a charter member of the 3:05 club (now called detention) which was not my favourite, but there again, teachers were there to counsel and support us. Surprisingly, it seems in those times, money didn't appear to be a priority but more, they were

dedicated to the education and support for students. I know we still have many dedicated educators today that do believe students come first. Too bad we don't hear more from them. Let's hear less of all the rhetoric and political posturing. Face it folks, we cannot grow money and there is only so much to go around. Retired or not, we all still pay. You all need to get back on track and put students first because their futures depend on it, as does our country. mike Kinnear great care I recently spent seven days in the cardiac care unit at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. I am writing to let you and Vernonites know what good care I received. The concern and compassion shown by all the staff who attended to my needs, from the nurses, doctors, and support staff such as

complained about being ignored. Why did people in wheelchairs get ramps into public spaces? They complained about being excluded. Why did Canadians get public health care? They complained about access to care being based on who could afford it. How did working people get decent wages, paid vacations or compensation for workplace injuries? They complained about being exploited by a small group of increasingly wealthy people. There are things to complain about. Our employer has twice been told by the high courts they illegally took something from our contract. We are fighting that. Maybe your teacher didn't complain because he could easily be fired. That's not true for us, so when we become aware of problems in our schools, we can speak up for our students and ourselves. Surely a province as rich as B.C. can afford to fund education as well as poorer provinces like P.E.I. or Manitoba. And yes I think I should be paid at least as well as teachers in those two poorer provinces. We are taking lessons from our predecessors. In reality, we have done all we can to make things work and in the end, we aren't just complaining. We're acting and that's how people who made our country a better place got things done. It's the common thread in all of those times where not making do improved people's lives. People saw what was wrong, complained about it and then fought for it. Wayne Fowler

respiratory, X-ray etc., was of the finest. Their attention to detail and to making sure I was comfortable was wonderful. I am now home after being in Kelowna for angioplasty, where I received the same quality of care for the time it took to fix the damage I have caused myself, and am truly grateful to all of the people who attended to me. Cudos also to the ambulance paramedics whose prompt response to my wife's call was assuredly a factor in my recovery. We may grumble about our health care system and its inadequacies, but the people who work within that system are under constant pressure with shortages of beds, staff and time, are caring, empathetic people who do their damndest to take good and proper care of the patients in their charge. Thank you to all who were a part of my care. You are a special group. al noakes

Tributes for passionate volunteer ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

The North Okanagan sports community has lost one of its biggest boosters. Mel Briggeman, longtime Vernon volunteer, teacher, coach and official, died Monday of congestive heart failure at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. He was 79. Briggeman and his wife, Sandra, both natives of Trail, came to Vernon via the Lower Mainland in 1962 when Briggeman took a teaching job at Coldstream Elementary School. After a year at Coldstream, Briggeman moved on to Fulton Junior Secondary for one year, then would spend the next 30 years as a teacher and administrator at W.L. Seaton Secondary School. He retired in 1993 at age 59. Briggeman, who drove Greyhound buses

MORNING STAR FILE PHOTO

Mel Briggeman, a longtime Vernon sports volunteer, coach, teacher and official, died Monday at the age of 79. during summer and Christmas vacations for a few years, coached track and basketball at Seaton, and it was on the basketball court that he gained prowess as a top-notch referee.

Briggeman worked all levels of basketball for decades, served on the board of B.C. basketball officials and handed out assignments to local referees. “‘Hey Stuey, can you

be in Lumby for a Grade 8 game in 15 minutes? You are by yourself. Speed if you have to,’” chuckled former official Stu Williamson. “My buddy Mel was the best thing that ever happened to basketball in the Okanagan. I have many memories of travelling with him to provincials in Vancouver and to the all-Native tournament in Prince Rupert. There was not a nicer guy around.” After his retirement, Briggeman kept involved in the local sports scene. He was the executive director of the Funtastic mixed slo-pitch tournament, elected to the Funtastic Hall of Fame in 2008. Briggeman worked closely with disabled athletes and was also a volunteer with Vernon Special Olympics, working alongside close friend John Topping,

founder of Funtastic. “I first met Mel through Funtastic. He was a doer, he really got things done,” said Topping. “He would say his piece, but things got accomplished. He was one of the golden star people. “He was very instrumental in lining up guest speakers for our Special Olympics fundraisers, people like Hayley Wickenheiser and Walter Gretzky. He was very involved and put a lot into it.” Briggeman also served on the board of the North Okanagan Athlete and Team of the Year awards committee. He was honoured by that committee in 2012, when he was given a Leadership in Sports award. Briggeman was also recognized with the Brent Gilchrist Community Service Award in 1998, and was given the Queen’s Jubilee Medal for community service in 2003. Briggeman is survived by his wife, Sandra, three sons, Steve, Gerry and Andrew and four grandchildren. No date for a service for Briggeman had been established by press time.

Board adopts GMO statement richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Two North Okanagan jurisdictions will take a stand against genetically modified crops but there is nothing that can be done to officially stop them. The Regional District of North Okanagan board adopted changes Wednesday to the official community plan in Rick Fairbairn Cherryville and rural Lumby that states residents do not support the introduction, use, cultivation or propagation of genetically engineered (GE) organisms. Producers will be urged to adopt a GE-free policy.

“It’s a motherhood statement,” said Rick Fairbairn, rural Lumby director, clarifying that RDNO does not have the legal ability to ban the use of GMO products by local farmers. The OCP change originally only included Cherryville, but some residents were upset that rural Lumby was not mentioned. “Rick, what do you have to lose by doing your job and representing the community?” Carla Vierke asked of Fairbairn during a public hearing. “How did this get by when 93 per cent of residents (in a community survey) are against this and only eight families are for this?” A rural Lumby resident questioned the process that led to the original draft of the bylaw. “I want to know who wrote these words,”

he said of the OCP amendment. “There’s gross dereliction in duty or an agenda.” Directors were asked to put their personal opinions about GMOs aside and represent the public. “You answer to the next generation. You have a chance to be heroes. Make the right choice,” said resident Michelle Saurette. Fairbairn admits he was reluctant to include rural Lumby in the OCP change because the regional district has no mandate over GMOs. “The matter is not within the jurisdiction of local government,” he said. Fairbairn ultimately agreed to include rural Lumby after the public presentations. “I have an obligation to respect the wishes of constituents and hear and listen to their concerns,” he said.

Cherry Ridge logging road protested richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Pressure is growing to stop a logging road in Cherryville before all possible risks are known. The Regional District of North Okanagan board voted Wednesday to urge B.C. Timber Sales to not issue a contract for road construction and proposed logging until there is a risk assessment done on Cherry Creek in Cherryville.

“We want it documented that it’s safe,” said David Sewell, chief administrative officer. A provincial agency, BCTS is moving towards construction of a road so part of Cherry Ridge can be clearcut. However, that has raised significant concern in the community below. “It’s 190 hectares and crosses four streams. There’s 70 to 90 per cent slopes,” said Eugene Foisy, Cherryville director.

“We’re afraid that a slope could take place. Four slides have already come down there.” Foisy fears that critical community infrastructure could be in jeopardy if there is a slide. “Hanson Park is right on the edge of the creek as is the school and community hall,” he said. The Cherry Ridge Management Committee, which operates a community

forest, wants to see the area identified by BCTS to be selectively logged instead of clearcut. “It’s just ridiculous to put a road through an area like that,” said Foisy. BCTS has suggested that a contract for road construction could be issued by Sept. 9 so RDNO will be contacting the agency immediately. “Time is of the essence,” said Foisy.

C HECK I T O UT AT B OOKLAND SOMEWHERE SAFE WITH SOMEBODY GOOD After five hectic years of retirement from Lord’s Chapel, Father Tim Kavanagh returns with his wife, Cynthia, from a so-called pleasure trip to the land of his Irish ancestors. While glad to be at home in Mitford, something is definitely missing: a pulpit. But when he’s offered one, he decides he doesn’t want it. Maybe he’s lost his passion. His adopted son, Dooley, wrestles with his own passion — for the beautiful and gifted Lace Turner, and his vision to become a successful country vet. Dooley’s brother, Sammy, still enraged by his mother’s abandonment, destroys one of Father Tim’s prized possessions. And Hope Murphy, owner of Happy Endings bookstore, struggles with the potential loss of her unborn child and her hard-won business. All this as Wanda’s Feel Good Café opens, a romance catches fire through an Internet word game, their former mayor hatches a reelection campaign to throw the bums out, and the weekly Muse poses a probing inquiry: Does Mitford still take care of its own? Millions of fans will applaud the chance to spend time, once more, in the often comic and utterly human presence of Jan Karon’s characters. Indeed, they have never been more sympathetic, bighearted, and engaging.

Premier Christy Clark urged the B.C. Teachers Federation to suspend its strike to allow public school classes to open while negotiations continue. And she insisted the union get “realistic” and move towards the public sector pattern on wage increases so the two sides can hammer out a deal to improve class support for special needs, which she called the biggest issue facing the education system. “There are no easy fixes and no shortcuts to achieving longterm labour peace for kids,” Clark said in a news conference Wednesday afternoon. BCTF president Jim Iker ruled out a pause in the strike along the lines of the two-week Christy Clark truce the province proposed last week and is still offering. “The government remains entrenched and unwilling to be flexible,” he told reporters. “We’re not suspending any strike right now.” The premier had been criticized in recent days for keeping a low profile – apart from a few posts on Twitter and Facebook – as the teachers strike rolled into September without a deal. “This is going to be settled at the negotiating table by negotiators,” Clark said. “There’s no magic wand, there’s no one who can walk in and say ‘Guess what? I’ve come up with some simple, easy way that’s magically going to solve this.’” The premier said the union’s position is unreasonably high and made repeated references to BCTF demands for massage therapy benefits – a request that was dropped in recent weeks – and a $5,000 signing bonus that would cost the province more than $150 million. Clark gave no indication of how long the government is prepared to let the strike continue or if classes might reopen under an essential services designation

on the basis of damage to students’ education. Fassbender has vowed the government won’t legislate the teachers back to work this time. The strike began with rotating walkouts in the spring and turned into a complete school shutdown in mid-June. There were virtually no negotiations through the summer until a last-minute effort at exploratory talks led by mediator Vince Ready began last week. Ready walked out on Saturday, declaring an impasse with the two sides too far apart for mediation to be productive. Clark said the eventual deal with teachers must be fair – giving them a deserved raise but also respecting that other unionized workers have accepted the government’s economic mandate offer on wages. Iker insisted the BCTF is close to the government on wages and made significant concessions in recent weeks. The government offer is seven per cent over six years, while the union wants eight per cent over five years. “We could have got a deal this past weekend if government was willing to move.” Iker said the signing bonus demand is “negotiable” and reiterated his call for Clark to meet him directly. Iker repeatedly criticized the government for committing money to priorities other than education, including the new B.C. Place stadium roof, a payout to a California utility to settle lawsuits against BC Hydro, and now the $40-a-day payments to parents. He estimated the extra money needed to fund the BCTF demands represents $3 per day per student. “They have $40 a day right now to keep kids out of school. It’s about choices.” But the province says the combined wages and benefits demand is still nearly twice what other public sector unions have accepted. Overhanging the talks is the government’s pending appeal of the latest court ruling on class size and composition, slated to be heard in mid-October. Iker again called on the government to drop its insistence on a clause that would let it “nullify” another ruling in favour of teachers.

Ice time under review richard rolke Morning Star Staff

A taxpayers’ subsidy at a private arena could come to an end. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee has agreed to help the Greater Vernon Minor Hockey Association with rent at Okanagan Training Rink for the remainder of 2014. But there is no guarantee for Jan. Jim Garlick 1, 2015. “If we reorganize the schedule, can the ice time rented at OTR be replaced at the same time at Civic, Priest Valley or Kal Tire Centre?” said director Bob Fleming. About 280 to 300 hours per year are rented for

minor hockey at OTR, and that includes $12,000 from GVAC and $24,000 from the City of Vernon. GVAC began renting ice time at OTR in the mid-1990s when Civic and Priest Valley arenas were at capacity. When Kal Tire Place first opened in 2001, ice time at OTR was reduced, but some usage by young children has continued at OTR so older children and adults had earlier ice times at the public facilities. GVAC and the City of Vernon, which is responsible for recreation programs, will now consider the long-term needs for ice use. “The city can look at ice time and what’s available,” said director Jim Garlick. “I hope there will be a reassessment of ice time and the use of it. I hope we can draw these people back into the existing (public) facilities.”

MAKE YOUR GOLDEN YEARS Lumby scraps smoking ban GOLDEN Flexible hours. We’re hiring.

richard rolke Morning Star Staff

The health impact of tobacco continues to be a concern in Lumby but a ban has been scrapped. The village will not proceed with a bylaw that may ban smoking in public spaces such as trails, parks and even possibly sidewalks. “After talking about it, we’re not sure people are ready for it,”

said Mayor Kevin Acton, who admits some residents were quite upset over a possible ban. “It was a healthy debate. People were concerned about being controlled. There were even people who don’t smoke saying, ‘Not another bylaw.’ It did seem a little authoritarian.” But while there won’t be any rules, the village wants to ensure residents understand the health

risks related to tobacco use. “We want to keep up with public education and awareness,” said Acton. The village has received information about the issue from nursing students at the University of B.C.’s Okanagan campus. “If they come up with something that needs a bit of a budget, we will look at that,” said Acton of the nurses’ activities.

Pets are like four-legged members of our families. So when one goes missing, it can be profoundly stressful and frightening. That’s why the B.C. SPCA encourages pet guardians to make sure their furry friends are covered – with both a visible identification tag that has the pet’s name and a phone number the guardians can be reached at, as well as permanent ID, such as an ear tattoo or a microchip implant, in case the pet loses his collar. “Nobody wants to lose their pet. But it does happen, whether a door or window is inadvertently left open, or during a big move, or sometimes, when a loud, scary event – like fireworks – is happening nearby,” says Ryan Voutilainen, Burnaby SPCA branch manager. He recalls a case last year, when a cat was turned in to the Burnaby SPCA and, because the cat had a microchip implant, they were able to reunite her with her guardians in California, who has lost their beloved feline friend during an earlier camping trip in B.C. “They drove up as soon as they heard we had her. They were very excited to hear from us,” Voutilainen said, noting that of the thousands of cats who come to the B.C. SPCA’s shelters each year, only eight per cent are returned to their guardians due to a lack of identification. Often, permanent pet ID can take place at the same time the animal gets spayed or neutered. “We cannot stress enough the importance of properly identifying your animal. And to always make sure your information is current and updated,” he said. For more information, visit spca.bc.ca.

Cooper conquers Hillview Makes clutch birdie putt to down Gourdine in playoff Morning Star Staff

Zack Casagrande (top left) tees off on the 14th hole at Hillview Golf Course.

Kendra Jones-Munk, 12 (left) chips onto the 11th green at Hillview Golf Course.

Braeden Cooper is 5-foot-2 and 95 pounds. His average drive is 230 yards. The soft-spoken six-handicap used a silky, smooth swing and a solid putting stroke to claim the 24th Hillview Golf City Junior and Club Championship Monday. There was a field of 51 golfers aged seven to 17. Cooper, who turns 14 in October, defeated Mac Gourdine on the fourth playoff hole to take the city trophy and a Samsung Galaxy Tablet. Both players shot 2-over 58 before heading to the par-3 first hole for the extra holes. “I made a 12-foot (birdie) right to left putt and Mac twoputted from about 30 feet,” said Cooper, a Grade 9 VSS student who has won his age group in past Hillview tournaments. Cooper and Gourdine both posted 29-29 with Cooper earning birdies on the 10th and 15th holes. “I putted pretty good,” said Cooper, who gave up hockey and soccer to focus on the links three years ago. “I made a couple of long ones and I hit most of the greens.” A big fan of PGA phenom Ricky Fowler, Cooper usually plays with buddies Dexter Weiten, Anthony Prince and Taylor Scott. Weiten beat Cooper in a playoff to take the 12-13-yearold flight last year after they both shot 68. Cooper’s long term goal is to secure a college golf scholarship somewhere in North America. The Hillview club championship went to Gourdine. Matt Kreutz ruled the 14-17 age flight with his score of 60, beating Nick Friesen by retrogression. Weiten is the Hillview club champion for the same age group with a 63. Kreutz and Weiten both pocketed a dozen Titleist Pro-V1 balls. In the 12-13 age flight, Colton Schaper-Kotter carded a 70 to win the city title, while Elias Wery was the Hillview club champ with 76. Adam Raber took the runner-up spot with a 79 through retrogression The 11 & Under flight was won by Ryan Vest, who was the youngest in the category at age eight. He carded a 69. Vest, who recently played in the World Kids Golf Championship Eight and Under category in North Carolina, collected a remote control Lamborghini. Nick Noren captured the Hillview club crown for the same division with an 82 and Austin Roest was the runner-up by retrogression. Jason Johnson took home the nine-hole division with a 43, while Kendra Jones-Munk, 12, was overall girls champion with a 76. Jones-Munk took home an iPod Shuffle. “Thank you all of our volunteers and our junior co-ordinatiors Betty Murray and Judy Wakefield for their tireless efforts,” said Jon Atmore of Hillview. “Hillview would like to give special thanks to Cyril Foster for his generous donation to the 2014 Junior Championship.” Tyler Pitt, who went on to play NCAA golf in San Francisco, took the tourney three times in the 1990s, while Jarret McNeal, the 2012 club champion at Spallumcheen, won back-to-back titles in 2004-05.

“Let us give you something to smile about...”

TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Vipers have added a Stanley Cup ring to their coaching staff. Retired NHLer and Vernon minor hockey grad Eric Godard will be an assistant under head coach Jason Williamson this B.C. Hockey League season. “It feels good being in your hometown. I know the city well and both coaches already, so the transition is going pretty easily,” said Godard, who won the Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins during the 2008-09 season. Godard retired following the 2011-12 campaign and started his coaching career last season with the Salmon Arm SilverBacks. As an assistant, he worked alongside the other new Vipers’ coach Kevin Kraus. The SilverBacks went 25-24-1-8 and missed the playoffs. Godard and Kraus reunite once again following the departure of assistants Kris Mallette and Dave Robinson. “We never really planned on this,” said Kraus. “When I decided to come to Vernon, I called him one day to see if Salmon Arm talked to him about an extension. At that point he hadn’t heard anything. I like to think I put the bug in his ear and it worked out for the best.” Godard brings 335 NHL games and a 12-year pro career into the Vipers’ locker room. “I definitely think I’m different than the other coaches. I want to be a players’ coach, someone that is easy to talk to and gets along with the players,” said Godard. Added Kraus, “He is a real good guy, he keeps the room fun and entertaining.” New Vipers’ captain Riley Guenther grew up in Calgary where Godard played from 2006-08. “It’s pretty cool working with someone that you’ve seen on T.V. a bunch of times. I grew up an (Edmonton) Oilers fan, but I remember seeing him fight before, I think I saw him drop (Derek) Boogaard once.” The captain is just getting acquainted with the soft-spoken, six-foot-four former enforcer, but is looking forward to working together this season. “Obviously he has a lot of experience and he was a tenacious player back then. We know he’s going bring that attitude to our team and it’s only going to make us better,” said Guenther. Even after earning six goals, 18 points and racking up 833 penalty minutes with the New York Islanders, Flames and Penguins, one of Godard’s biggest achievements was when his son Otto was born earlier this summer. “Being a dad has been fun. You can start to see changes in him everyday now,” said Godard. “It has given me a different perspective on dealing with players this year compared to last year. I gotta grow up I guess.” Godard plans on getting a stick into Otto’s hand as

Dr. Sean Bicknell and Dr. Karl Denk are pleased to welcome Dr. Woody Neilson to the practice. Dr. Neilson brings experience in all facets of family dentistry. He and his family are excited to now call Vernon home.

New Vipers’ assistant coaches Kevin Kraus (left) and Eric Godard skate around during practice Wednesday afternoon at Kal Tire Place. soon as possible, but in the meantime, he is focused on finalizing the Viper roster. The Vipers begin a home and home exhibition series with the SilverBacks tonight in Salmon Arm. with the return match Saturday 6 p.m., at Kal Tire Place. The coaching staff will make cuts following the mini series. They are carrying 15 forwards, nine defencemen and two goalies. Williamson needs to release three forwards and a pair of blueliners. SNAKE BITES: Vernon’s Zach McPhee, 21, will play for the CIS University of Regina Cougars. The towering centre played four years in the WHL, including the last two with the Kootenay Ice. He supplied 12 goals and 24 points with the Ice. McPhee spent 24 games with the Vipers in the 2010-11 season. He joins Erik Benoit (Penticton Vees), Dylen McKinlay (2012-13 Kelowna Rockets) and Tyler Giebel (Royal Bank Cup champion Yorkton Terriers) as freshmen forwards. Devon McMullen of Yorkton is the lone rookie on defence. Ex-Viper Lucas Gore is a senior goalie. The Cougars enjoyed three exhibition games in Switzerland and Germany last week... Vernon’s Cole Woodliffe rang up a hat trick as the Summerland Steam shaded the host Princeton Posse 4-3 in KIJHL exhibition play Tuesday night. Woodliffe, a forward, played for the Vernon Home Hardware Midget Vipers last season, getting summoned to the KIJHL North Okanagan Knights nine times (scored three goals)... Ex-Viper Demico Hannoun converted a breakaway as Team Blue won the Peaches Cup, 5-4, over Team White at Vees’ camp.

sold across the country donated to the MS Society, in addition to funds collected in donation mugs, through the sales of paper cutouts, and online giving. A&W also donated $1 for every RSVP to the A&W Cruisin’ to End MS event on Facebook and every tweet or retweet with the hashtag # C r u i s i nTo E n d M S . This was a hugely popular element in this year’s campaign boosted by support and a visit to the A&W restaurant in Whitehorse — and related tweet — from Prime Minister Stephen Harper. “Through our partnership with the MS Society, we are extremely pleased to help raise awareness about multiple sclerosis, which affects 100,000 Canadians and their families, and to support important research and programs aimed at ending MS,” said Paul Hollands, president and CEO, A&W Food Services of Canada. “On behalf of A&W, I would like to thank and congratulate all of our operators, employees, customers, car clubs, the MS Society, and others across Canada who supported us to make this campaign the biggest yet.” More than 800 A&W restaurants across the country, including Vernon, hosted Cruisin’ to End MS events, including classic car and hot rod gatherings, music, car hop service, A&W Root Beer chugging contests, and visits from the Great A&W Root Bear. “Each year we are amazed by the support we receive through A&W Cruisin’ to End MS and are proud of this important partnership,” said Yves Savoie, president and CEO of the MS Society of Canada. “The event wouldn’t be possible without the support of individuals across our great country who come together for this common cause – a cause that affects all Canadians.”

Students who share common interests and identities are brought together to live within one community on campus, designed to enhance the residence and university experience. The Indigenous ILC is open to all aboriginal and non-aboriginal undergraduate students. Its focus is on fostering practi-

Participants will also have the opportunity to engage with various annual cultural events, such as the Okanagan Nation Salmon Feast and Lake Country Native Association Pow-Wow. “A great deal of the culture of each ILC is determined and developed by the student’s within the community; they are encouraged to take an active role in shaping their community and in contributing to the larger campus community,” said Ned Gallagher, residence life manager, Student

This year, that number has grown to 331 – an increase of 470 per cent since UBC opened its doors in the Okanagan. “As our campus continues to experience increasing numbers of self-identified aboriginal students, providing a sense of belonging and opportunities for all students to engage in intercultural understanding throughout their university experience is key,” said Jeannine Kuemmerle,

This ‘Chopper’ knows what he speaks Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

The Missouri born and raised artist known as Tech N9ne is an enigma in the hip hop world in that he crosses over into the metal realm and quotes from spiritualist Deepak Chopra. Maybe that’s not so unusual. However, when it comes to his work as one of the highest grossing independent hip hop artists working today, there’s no confusion on the message he speaks. You can hear his every, single word even as it is being fired out like a TEC-9 semi-automatic handgun, known as “chopper” style, and the origin of Tech N9ne’s (born Aaron Dontez Yates) stage name. The gun reference is simply a way to describe Tech N9ne’s style. He in no ways condones violence, but says he raps fast as a way to get things off his chest. Like many around the world, he watched in horror about the police shooting of Mike Brown in Ferguson, Mo. On the phone from his corporate headquarters (for his label Strange Music) in Blue Springs. Mo. before making his way north for his 19-city Canadian Strangeulation Tour, which brings him to Vernon Sept. 15, Tech N9ne says he watched the resulting riots on the news. “I’ve been working on my album here and have been shooting a movie in L.A. It’s a sad thing to see what’s happening down there. I also hate seeing what happened to Robin Williams, and those people in Iraq dead and how it all went down. I have a 19 year old myself,” he said. “I like to speak the facts through my music, but I don’t jump the gun. I wait for more

I only know through the news what’s going on, this microcosm of a microcosm.” The fast talking, message-laden rapping machine, who grew up in Kansas City, has had time to think about the world around him as he visits just about every city and town that has a stage. A prolific writer, and tireless producer, he has released 14 of his own studio albums since 1999 on his label (named after the classic Doors song), and has been featured with just about every other famed hip hop artist. He tours relentlessly, which is one of the reasons Forbes Magazine listed him as one of the world’s highestpaid hip hop artists. (He hit #18

Underground said it best, people relate to each other through music. Everywhere I go, people sing back to me, whatever colour, culture, creed, we’re all one and people relate to me through my heart, soul and brain. We have those emotions in common. We all have sadness and madness. We sort out our differences through music. It has the power to soothe the savage beast and ignite.” Tech N9ne is probably best known for his chopper-like ignition with words. In fact, he’s put out a series of Chopper singles, featuring a plethora of fast rhyming wizards, and says Worldwide Choppers II, to be released on his upcoming album, will be his last. “That last one was hard to

on last year’s list with the likes of Drake, Ludacriss, Kanye West, and Jay-Z.) “We have to go wherever the fans are - in the woods, in the hills, playing for 400 people, breaking foreign markets, playing to 80,000 in Denver to 6,000 in Denmark, back to playing to 300 in a bar to performing on Jimmy Kimmel.” It all comes down to the music, which he says is a way to connect with others on this planet. “(Shock G) from Digital

beat,” he says, referring to the first Worldwide Choppers, which appeared on his 2011 album All 6’s and 7’s. “What people don’t realize is that you can rap, but if people don’t understand you, then what’s the point? I don’t have mash potato mouth, I have a mouth full of teeth.” And like Ice T and Body Count, Tech N9ne doesn’t mind crossing into other genres, especially into metal where his rapid fire attack fits right in. His 2013 album Therapy featured sessions by well known metal producer Ross Robinson and featured guitarist Wes Borland of Limp Bizkit and Glassjaw’s Sammy Siegler. “I wrote out a lot of aggression on Therapy. I’ve always had that rock edge. I like meshing stuff,” he said, adding he was the only hip hop artist to appear at Slipknot’s Knotfest with the masked metal band, as well as with Danzig and Five Finger Death Punch. He is also about to play Aftershock 2014 in Sacramento, Calif. with the likes of Rob Zombie, Bad Religion and Weezer two days before he arrives in the Okanagan. “I always want to do something I’ve never done, be someone else, and bust through ceilings,” he said. One of those new endeavours is acting. Tech N9ne is currently working on a new project that he can’t say too much about, yet. “It’s a Shakespeare like character,” is all he’ll say, adding, “I was nervous as hell the whole two days of filming, but I managed to memorize my lines.” Expect Tech N9ne to rattle off a few more lines when he brings his Strangeulation Tour to Monashee’s Bar and Grill, Sept. 15. Joining him will be Strange Music artist Krizz Kaliko, with opening acts Animal Nation from Whistler and Vernon’s own Immaculate. Tickets are $40 (presale at Monashee’s) and $50 at the door, which opens at 9 p.m. (19plus only.)

Brosnan plays fall guy in The November Man

P

The November Man

eter Devereaux (Pierce Brosnan) is a retired CIA agent who is brought back into the fray when official matters become personal. Pitted against rogue CIA officials, his own protege and a Russian president elect, Devereaux has his hands full just trying to stay alive. We say, “It’s about time we disagreed on something.” TAYLOR: The November Man is either the worst good film of the year, or the best bad film of the year. There was some bad acting, bad directing and bad writing, but for the most part, it was simply a case of the wrong choices being made, for the sake of supplying audiences with a Bond/Bourne type film that goes through the motions. The film is polished, well shot and does contain exciting, sometimes shocking action sequences. Unfortunately for audiences, other bad choices begin to tally up, such that about half way through the

Taylor and Howe

film, you start waiting for the next stupid plot point to arrive, or the next over-the-top performance, or the next cliche. I had to stifle a few giggles, some in the audience were unable to. To be clear, people are not laughing with this film, they’re laughing at it. HOWE: I know what you are saying, and yet I really enjoyed it. I can’t remember the last time we reviewed a spy/thriller, so that could have an impact on how I felt about The November Man. The acting is over the top and cheesy, especially from Brosnan, but he is like that in nearly all of his movies and if you changed his character’s name to Bond it wouldn’t have been any different than his 007 days. The only thing missing was his mar-

TAYLOR: I agree that Brosnan is his usual smarmy self, but Bond and Bourne films, despite their flair for the fantastical, do not contain such thinly motivated characters, unbelievable performances or plot holes you could drive a truck through. I can see why people might like this film, but in order to do so they will have to get lost in its convolution. HOWE: The storyline did keep me guessing who the good or bad guys were, which is appropriate for a spy movie. All too early in these types of mov-

ies, you can normally guess who is who, but this film covers its tracks well. There’s lots of chasing, killing and double crossing going on to keep the action flowing from start to finish and that’s another plus point in my opinion.

TAYLOR: You were conned by this film. Anyone who keeps tabs on who is doing what and why will soon discover the film’s flaws and start asking questions. Anytime you start asking questions about character motivations,

Arts Feet will move when Philip returns Morning Star Staff

Gatzke Orchards has been enjoying a great summer concert series on its Big Blue Stage. The season wraps up Sunday with the return of one-man dynamo Shane Philip. “I love coming out to Gatzke’s to play. It’s an amazing venue in a beautiful part of our province. I can’t wait,” said Philip about the Oyama-based orchard that overlooks both Kalamalka and Wood Lakes. A full-time touring musician with four albums under his belt, Philip has been heard on national independent and campus radio stations and is a regular on CBC Radio programs across Canada. However, it’s his aptitude on a multitude of instruments that has gained him notice for his live performances. His one-man show has him on stage surrounded by didgeridoos, guitars, harmonicas, drums and more, some of which he plays at the same time using with hands, feet and mouth. “It’s amazing the amount of music that he can produce on

All that energy is quite infectious as his live shows build and build with his audience,” said Joseph Pinheiro, Gatzke’s event manager, who had the chance to see Philip open up for The Wailers when they played at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre in March. “By the end of his opening set, the crowd was chanting for more. He has a great following throughout the Okanagan, so it is going to be a very special night.” Tickets for Philip’s concert at

Gatzke Orchards are available online at www.gatzkeorchard.com as well as at Gatzke’s fruit stand on Pelmewash Parkway in Oyama. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. Those unable to attend Philip’s concert in Oyama can also catch him when he plays in the old schoolhouse-turned music venue, Lorenzo’s Café in Ashton Creek, east of Enderby. Cover for the Lorenzo’s show Saturday is $10 and tables can be reserved by calling 250-838-6700.

Stick to Ghosts that haunt Big Wreck:

C

anadian rock band Big Wreck’s fourth album, Ghosts, is an ambitious recording with some subtle excursions from the group’s usual instrumental fireworks. The group and its leader, singer/guitarist Ian Thornley, have always been overachievers in the vanguard of musical prowess.

Ghosts

Street SoundS

Dean Gordon-Smith

Such ambitions have led to larger-than-life

songs like Blown Wide Open and The Oaf, which established the group as a formidable unit back in the ‘90s. Big Wreck’s technical wizardry is honed into creative texturing and moodier material than some earlier recordings and some of these tracks reveal crystalline melodies and inspired lyric/vocal work from Thornley (Diamonds).

His full throated yowl on Hey Mama is impressive in all of its force – a bit cliché, but it fits. There are other moments like that on Ghosts (I Digress, Friends), but deeper tangents also and that’s where the record gets interesting. The album opens on a cryptic note before setting into a hazy desert vista of low-tuned guitar riffage on A Place to Call Home. Thornley hints at some echoed Gregorian chanting as he follows the song’s snaky hook to its conclusion. The same mood is followed on Still Here, a dreamy acousticbased song topped up with phasing and echo. On the title track, the band works up a tapestry of counter-rhythms, riffs and melodies underneath Thornley’s vocal to create a captivating piece that owes its power to atmospheric expression rather than technical prowess. Off and Running approaches visual grandeur with its yearning chorus and Beatleesque hooks. When Big Wreck moves outside conventional chops-based mega rock and into moodier material, the songs become noticeable and gain power and atmosphere.

Vernon music teacher Devon (Ms. Music) Muhlert plays in the position used for classical guitar, which she finds easier on her wrists.

Musicians are athletes too For The Morning Star

No one thinks of musicians as athletes, but they are. They require athletic stamina, similar to sports people, with precise, repetitive movements on their instruments. Sports figures have injury specialists, psychologists, visualization coaches, and cutting-edge Barbara Paull research at their beck and call. Musicians have none of those. They play until they are in so much pain that they seek out those professionals on their own, funded by their own slim pocket-books. That is changing, if a one-woman dynamo has her way. Orthopedic, chartered physiotherapist Barbara Paull is on a mission to save musicians from chronic pain. Local music teacher Devon Muhlert recently booked a visit with Paull in Newmarket, Ont. A warm, approachable Englishwoman who works part of the year

in the U.K., Paull has been all over the world coaching musicians. Widely differing instruments, same pain. “Musicians are stoic — they play until they can’t,” said Paull. “I want to teach them to use muscles in ways that cause no chronic pain. I want to stop pain before it starts.” To demonstrate that musicians build up tremendous strength by continuous practice on their instruments, Paull used a Jamar Hand Dynamometer, an instrument that measures upper body strength. Muhlert’s registered at 60 pounds, and Paull smiled. “Yours is higher than mine, and it’s from those muscles used to play all your instruments. It also makes them prone to injury.” Most musicians have never considered themselves vulnerable to repetitive strain injuries. They don’t complain. Aches and pains come with the territory, and even among themselves, musicians rarely discuss them. Paull’s crusade started with a profes-

sional violinist who could no longer lift her arm, and was off work for half a year. Musicians don’t get leave, so no income either. Paull analyzed the anatomy of her movements, the muscles and nerve endings that were involved and how they produced excruciating pain. When Christine Harrison recovered, the two collaborated on a book called The Athletic Musician. “I’ve been after teachers for the last few years, to show techniques to minimize pain. We can save players life-long pain. “Once I knew you were a teacher, I just had to co-opt you into this crusade to prevent playing-related injuries.” She’s not shy with her sense of humor either. The visit with Paull was enlightening, and Muhlert will share these insights with her students over the coming year. Private lessons in guitar, flute and saxophone start Monday at Ms. Music at the Caetani Cultural Centre. For more information, call 250-542-3228 or e-mail devonelle@ telus.net.

Perfect peace. That promise can be made good in our lives. Troubles may remain, but there will be courage to endure. Anxieties will be resolved in the assurance of God’s care. Fears will be relegated to the night which begot them and, as children of light and of the day and of God, in Paul’s apt figure to the Philippines we shall be surrounded with the peace of God; and if we are faithful to the end it may be ours to have boldness in the day of judgement.

Members of the Vernon Lawn Bowling Club join the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge: Bill Aldag (right), whose brother-in-law, Peter Greenwood, died of ALS in February, and Dawn Perkins (left), whose neighbour and friend has just been diagnosed with the disease, were doused with ice water by club president Rich Prys Jones and Doug Perkins at the club’s Wednesday bowling session. Because Joyce Phillips doesn’t personally know anyone suffering from ALS, she donated the $100 in $5 bills, which are floating around the two “dumpees.” Her generosity prompted other members of the VLBC to each donate $5; total raised by club members to date is $400 and counting.

The Denali was first discovered in 1896. The Yukon is is exceptionally well equipped and also a great test for this big truck because expensive Cadillac of the immense stretches of unpopulated Escalade but is more shows great attention to detail, with the aluminum trim around the radio roads with smooth sections, potholes and and heat controls, leather seating loose gravel. The Yukon has it all, including use-friendly and less expensive. with French stitching. What the GMC spectacular vistas, wide-open space and Yukon offers over the Cadillac cousin spectacular scenery. Spending three days Zack Spencer is a simpler dashboard layout with behind the wheel made me realize what traditional rotary knobs and buttons, a good job GMC has done with this truck, whereas the Cadillac has moved to touch sensitive from fuel economy to creature comforts. panels that take time to master. Looks Drive Last year, GM introduced the Chevrolet Silverado and The Yukon is offered with two engine choices, the GMC Sierra full-size pickup trucks. In fact, the Silver5.3L 355hp V8 in the base SLE and middle SLT Yukon ado won the North American Truck of the Year and models and the 6.2L V8 in the Denali. This 6.2L engine the GMC Sierra won the AJAC truck of the year. With is also used in the Escalade. There are several reasons a solid basis, the engineers then went about building to consider the Denali over the base 5.3L engine. the full-sized SUVs based on the truck chassis. They The first is the inclusion of the magnetic ride control include the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, the GMC system that is also available in the Escalade.

V8 can switch off half of the eight cylinders and lean off the fuel mixture to reduce fuel consumption. With more than 1,000 km driven at a range of speeds, the real world consumption was 12L/100 km, close to the 11.4L/100 km official highway rating with the 6.2L engine. All the current Yukon models are equipped with a 6-speed automatic but the 6.2L engines will get an 8-speed this fall, with the 5.3L following next year. AWD is standard on all but the base model and these trucks can tow up to 3856 kg. Verdict The Yukon is winner on all trim levels. I could find no fault but it is pricey. Starting at $51,800 for the SLE or $60,960 for the SLT and $75,540 for the Denali, this isn’t a cheap prospect. However, the Denali offers most of the same features as the more expensive Cadillac Escalade but is more use-friendly and less expensive. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 5.3L V8 with 355 hp or 6.2L V8 with 420 hp Fill-up: 16.2L/11.4L/100 km (city/highway) Sticker price: $51,800-$75,540

Driving to Hell and back can be cool By Alexandra Straub

ANN ARBOR, MI. – If you’re driving to Hell, what kind of car would you want to be in? An SUV? A sports car? One that if you never come back, at least your missing person’s report would list you last seen: “in something fast, flashy and awesome?” When my driving partner and I stumbled upon Hell, Michigan, or at least the sign that directed us that way, we were in the all-new, 2015 Hyundai Sonata; a sedan that is now seven generations strong. We had air conditioning in case it got really hot and directions via the navigation system in case we wanted to go to Hell and back and lost our way. And comfortable seats in case the crossing of the River Styx was long and arduous. Furthermore, we had the power to get us out of there if we needed to leave in a hurry. Okay, enough about Hell and back to the car… for 2015, the Sonata gives you two engine options; both of which have been revised for the seventh generation. The first is a peppy 2.4L, 4-cylinder with 185 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. Then there’s the spirited, optional, 2.0-litre twin-scroll turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 245 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Both engine variants are linked with a 6-speed automatic transmission. There’s a lot going on with Hyundai’s mid-size sedan. It’s built with an allnew chassis, which equates to a more comfortable ride, better handling and an overall improvement in NVH (Noise, Vibrations, Harshness.) To test that out, we took it to the streets of Ann Arbor in Michigan, as well as the backcountry roads that have sweeping corners and tight turns. The first thing I noticed was how much better the handling was, especially when you have it in Sport mode. The 2015 Sonata gives the driver a choice of three drive modes. These modes work together with the sedan’s engine, transmission, and Motor-Driven Power Steering (MDPS) to suit different driver preferences. In Sport, powertrain responsiveness and heavier steering weight are both

Hyundai Sonata increased. The steering weight definitely comes in handy on the twisty parts of the road. In Normal mode, steering isn’t as responsive but better suited for urban environments. And if you’re in a fuel saving mood, pop the car into Eco mode. This softens

throttle response and recalibrates transmission response so you get the most out of your tank. Speaking of steering, Hyundai mentions, “The 2015 Sonata’s steering wheel features an irregular shape with increased rim thickness and ergonomic grip rests. These subtle changes ensure more of the steering wheel surface remains in contact with the driver’s hands. In turn, the vehicle

offers enhanced steering system feel, especially at high speed.” I’d agree with this. My fingers were comfortably placed at 9 and 3 o’clock and felt pretty good there. But it’s not just the driving modes and steering wheel that make the Sonata as popular as it is. The 2015 comes with all new styling inside and outside. Let’s start with the cabin, since the driver will spend more time looking at a centre stack than they will the front, hexagonal grille. Featuring even higher quality materials than before, it’s softer to the touch and the layout is optimized for the driver. On the outside, you’ll see a family resemblance to the Sonata’s big brother, the Genesis. The character line is more pronounced, yet the cumulative look is more sophisticated and mature. It’s a tough segment to be in. When you have frontrunners like the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Mazda6 and more, it can get pretty heated. But the Sonata remains cool and collected and has the goods to keep up with the best of them. The 2015 Hyundai Sonata has a starting MSRP of $23,999. The top of the line Sport 2.0T Ultimate has an MSRP of $34,799. Visit www.hyundaicanada.com for more information. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder MORE ABSTRACT ACTIONS FROM THE REAL WORLD Pablo Picasso said, “There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.” At the bridge table, we start with 52 cards. Afterward, once the bidding and play begin, the players can be accurate or make mistakes. What do you think about the bidding in this deal? How should South plan the play in three no-trump after West leads the club two (low from a tripleton in partner’s unsupported suit)? South was right to upgrade his hand, counting it as worth 18 points. He had an excellent five-card suit, three aces and one

king. After North responded one spade, East should have made a takeout double. The two-club overcall was bizarre. Then South rebid two no-trump, showing 18 or 19 (or a poor 20) points. That was a reasonable choice. (However, if NorthSouth had been using support doubles, South should have doubled to show three spades. Then North would have rebid two diamonds, and South could have continued with two no-trump.) North’s raise to game was optimistic. South started with eight top tricks: one spade, five diamonds and two clubs. He had to gain a second spade trick. So he took the first trick with dummy’s king and led the spade jack. When East covered with the queen, South won with

his ace and played another spade, happy to see the eight and nine from West. East took this trick and returned ... the club queen. He should, of course, have first cashed the heart king (lead king from ace-king and from king-queen after trick one) to get a signal from partner.
