Cosens Bay road upgrade opposed JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

Kids rally to get back to class JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

Not wanting her kids to fall behind, Kazia Mullin is doing what she can to homeschool her three children during the ongoing strike – but she admits, she is no teacher. “Nothing that I am doing is replacing the value of the teacher and the classroom experience,” said Kazia Mullin, who, like her kids, just wants school to start. That was the message more than a dozen students, ranging from Grade 2 to 12, made clear on the Vernon Courthouse steps Monday. “We want to go back to school,” said Alyssa Haber and Sadie Mullin, who can’t wait to see their friends whenever they get to start Grade 2 at Beairsto Elementary. “I want to go to school because I’m bored,” said Carson Armitage. Grade 11 student Reid Folk adds: “I’m here to show my support for students wanting to go back to school, me too, especially me, because I’m in high school. It’s really affecting all of us.” Binding arbitration sounds like a really

“They all like summer, but they want to be back in school.” — Steve Simon

good idea, said Kazia Mullin, but if that can’t happen then more needs to be done on both sides. “I just really would like both sides to sit down, put the kids first, get back to school, get back to work,” said the mom, as she proudly watched her kids fight for their education. Most of the students rallying Monday are from the new, yet to start, Vernon Community School, at Clarence Fulton Secondary. Parent Steve Simon said this was a way of not only getting a message across, but also a way to get the students active. “Even with the strike going on we think the kids need to be active. That action can

take the form of something that’s topical,” said Simon. A few parents and the approximately 15 students met at the Vernon library first to draw up their signs before taking a stand to say they care about what’s happening. “They’d rather be in school,” said Simon. “They all like summer, but they want to be back in school, it’s where all their friends are and despite what you think about kids, they know this is where learning happens.” And the students were happy to do something constructive with their extended summer time. “I wanted to get something out of the first year, not go in halfway through the year and be like, ‘oh, I didn’t get much out of this year,’” said Celina Galbraith, who is going into Grade 7 at the Vernon Community School. Haber and Sadie Mullin hope their message is strong enough that, “the strike will stop.” Visit vernonmorningstar.com for a video of the rally messages from students and parents.

Coldstream council has agreed to disagree with the provincial government’s plans to widen Cosens Bay Road. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is proposing a boundary adjustment on the 4.5 kilometres of road through Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. If approved, the boundary adjustment would allow for road upgrades and widening to improve safety on the road, as well the provision for future utilities. Although the work would create safer access for the approximately 73 cabin owners out at Cosens Bay, Coldstream council is concerned about the environmental impact and safety of park users. “Certainly the users of the park would be more likely at risk if the roads were improved and the speeds were increased Richard Enns as a result,” said Coun. Richard Enns. Coun. Doug Dirk adds: “That’s one of the best traffic calming roads around.” Council unanimously agreed Monday to write a formal letter of input in opposition to the ministry’s proposal. “This road services very few properties that are zoned for seasonal cabins,” said Coun. Maria Besso. Of the approximately 73 landowners beyond the park who rely on the road for access, the ministry states that three to five are full-time, year-round residents with the rest primarily seasonal. The road carries up to 230 vehicles per day during the peak season, based on traffic counts from 2010. “We believe that control of the road excluded from the park is in the best interest of the public for safety, access and emergency service to both the park and lands beyond,” said Murray Tekano, transportation district manager, in a ministry report. The proposal must first be considered by Parks before a final decision is made at the Legislature. Although much opposition to the proposal has come from Coldstream residents, the section of road affected lies within the Regional District of North Okanagan, and is not under Coldstream jurisdiction.

Cherryville rallies against logging road richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Cherryville residents are taking a stand against government plans for a sensitive area. About 110 people attended a rally Sunday to oppose B.C. Timber Sales’ proposal for a road and logging on Cherry Ridge. “There’s full support from the community,” said Eugene Foisy, Cherryville director. There are steep slopes on the ridge and there’s a concern that clearcut logging could lead to slides jeopardizing Hanson Park, the school and the hall, as well as homes. “We’re afraid of what may happen down here,” said Foisy. Residents are demanding a downstream assessment of the road and logging before BCTS proceeds with issuing a contract for road construction. If BCTS does not proceed with a downstream assessment, there is the possibility the Regional District of North Okanagan may fund a study. “We want a say on what’s looked at,” said Foisy, adding that the pressure on BCTS will continue. “We will wait to see if BCTS issues the contract for the road. If they aren’t listening, people

in the community are looking at other activities to pursue (in opposition).” 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. “This BCTS proposal will not provide social and economic benefits equivalent to the community forest model. It will not enable community involvement nor diversify use and benefits. It does not respect Cherryville’s interests,” stated a release from the CRMC during Sunday’s rally. The CRMC goes on to say that BCTS has ignored relevant local advice about soil conditions and previous road failures in the north fork of Cherry Creek. “Local residents have provided information to the government about the instability of the deeply incised gullies that this government agency plans to cross with a road,” states the CRMC. “These gullies have a history of landslides, one of which took out the North Fork Forestry Service Road in 2004. Such slide events are Greta Helin pHoto similar to the Sugar Lake Road slope failure on April 25, 2012, triggered by misdirected drain- Shawn Ardis and Terra and Flynn Belliveau look over a model of Cherry Ridge during a rally age from a forestry block.” in Cherryville against a proposed logging road Sunday.

Brown wants to continue as Spallumcheen mayor richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Janice Brown insists she has her dream job — serving as the mayor of Spallumcheen. Brown has announced she will seek a second term as mayor of the township Nov. 15. “We’ve had a great council and we have accomplished a lot,” said the 62-year-old freelance designer who also served 12 years as a councillor. Janice Brown “It’s great when you can keep plowing ahead. I get great feedback from people and they know that I am

working for them.” Brown says there are still some major issues she wants to see resolved. “We’re really focusing on the tax impact of Bill 8,” she said. The township says it had to increase the rate on the farm class to counteract the effects of provincial legislation in which farmers enjoyed $120,000 of tax relief in 2013 that everybody else paid for. “We are meeting with ministers Norm Letnick and Coralee Oakes at the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference and we are working with B.C. Assessment on this,” said Brown. “We don’t want to tax our farmers who are our bread and butter in Spallumcheen.” Other issues Brown wants to see pro-

ceed include development of the southeast sector, and working with the Ministry of Transportation on four-laning of Highway 97A at the McLeod subdivision. “We want to make sure there are good intersections there,” she said. Brown believes open communications are critical for anyone wanting to be mayor. “I’ve tried to include all of council is all decisions and they work hard to make things happen,” she said. “We have made many tough decisions, but always with the whole community in mind.” Brown is the township’s representative to the Regional District of North Okanagan board. Besides Brown, the other competitor for

Most mixed martial arts activities have been tossed. The City of Vernon will continue to allow amateur MMA events, but professional competitions have been banned with the adoption of a bylaw Monday. “There’s been some concern from the RCMP about some of the people who organize or are involved,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. The city started the process to ban MMA events because the RCMP had indicated such events can involve organized crime. “Those events aren’t good for the community,” said Coun. Brian Quiring. City staff had originally recommended banning all MMA activities, but council decided to allow amateur events, particularly for youth, to continue. “Events run by amateurs should still be able to operate,” said Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe. Before the bylaw was unanimously passed by

council Monday, a public input session was held. Only one person provided feedback. “On a local level in the competition you get in a small town, there is no money at that level,” said self-described MMA fan William Mastop of the suggested links to crime. “The purses on the line, even at the upper level, are so small they are laughable.” Mastop also says the city is banning something many people enjoy. “This is an active sport, not some underground thing,” he said. “It’s a recognized sport and it’s growing.”

The matter is currently under appeal by the government and will be heard in October. “The government is wanting us to bargain away our Charter rights,” said Malcolm. “But we are asking government to leave the matters currently before the courts, to the courts, and allow wages, benefits, and preparation time to go to binding arbitration.”

Fassbender opposes binding arbitration. “When the NDP government settled with the doctors through binding arbitration, it had a huge impact on the budget of the province and on all of us as taxpayers,” he said. “If Mr. Iker is serious about wanting to get a settlement, then I am asking him to do what I asked him to do a weekand-a half-ago. Ask the BCTF members today for the ability for the executive to suspend strike action. That’s my challenge to Mr. Iker.”

A Vernon man remains in hospital after his vehicle went over an embankment Sunday. The 21-year-old drove off a Cosens Bay Road embankment at the four kilometre marker around 5:40 p.m. and fled from the car with a stick impaled in his neck. “He was located by a hiker and near Cosens Bay Beach where he was taken to the waiting ambulance by Vernon Search and Rescue,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “The man was taken to VJH for treatment of his injuries.” Charges are being considered for driving while under suspension. “There’s an indication that the individual shouldn’t have been driving.”

Knee injuries have many faces and causes and these three groups of people are susceptible to the same injuries but from different causes. Tendon injuries are the most common: Iliotibial band syndrome (pain on the outside of the knee); Patellar tendonitis (pain below the knee); and hamstring injuries (leading to pain in the back of the knee). As well, arthritis plagues many and often results in knee replacement surgery. And unfortunately, many knee surgery patients (due to ligament or cartilage tears) frequent our office.

tendon, binding the knee and often creating soft tissue pain. For the past five years I have been using Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) to treat these conditions, because shockwave therapy breaks down scar tissue and stimulates blood vessel growth to restore muscle function and promote healing. The Journal of Surgical Research 2012 showed ESWT is effective in preventing knee arthritis. In The American Journal Of Sports Medicine 2007, 90% showed significant improvement in patellar tendonitis. Furthermore, The Archives of Orthopedic Trauma Surgery 2007 showed significant reduction in the progression of knee arthritis (ESWT stimulates cells to produce cartilage). Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

Each of these injuries comes with its own set of obstacles when treating with conventional methods: tendonitis can create fibrous adhesions and scar tissue that disrupts the normal function of the muscle; arthritis erodes the cartilage, decreasing the joint space; and surgery, although often necessary, creates scar tissue on the surrounding muscle and

No victory yet

t was just a few months ago that catastrophe was predicted for Vernon’s tourism sector. Barrels of ink were spilled and hours consumed as many residents spoke out against the city’s plans to close the tourism information centres at the entrances to Vernon and relocate them to a building next to Civic Arena. “Tourist centres should be visible. By relocating it to 39th Avenue, it’s not visible,” a resident told council during a February meeting. Much of the protest revolved around traffic Richard Rolke and large RVs possibly not being able to get off 32nd Street and on to 39th Avenue. A bed and breakfast owner forecast his business would plummet. “Seventy per cent of my business comes from the visitors centre,” he said. “If customers don’t go into that rezoned area, we go under.” Despite the vocal opposition, the majority of city council stuck to its guns and the visitor information centre made the big move. “We decided in November that consolidating (tourism booths) is a good idea and being close to downtown is good for economic development,” said Coun. Brian Quiring in February. Given the heat they endured seven months ago, there’s probably some happy folks around city hall these days. According to the latest statistics, there were 10,176 people at the visitor information centre from June 10 (when the 39th Avenue site opened) and Aug. 31 of the Labour Day weekend. That’s up from 9,019 visitors during the same period in 2013 when the two old booths were running.

BEyond thE hEAdlinES

“We have seen a significant increase in visits to the visitor information centre, up 12.8 per cent compared to the same period of operation in 2013,” said Kevin Poole, the city’s economic development officer. “Considering there has been a downward trend in usage of visitor information centres throughout B.C., we are extremely pleased with the results.” Some city officials will likely link the increase in drop-ins to the new location, but is there any hard data that backs that assumption up? Could it simply be that there were more people passing through the community between June and August that needed advice or maps and they would have stopped no matter where the visitor information centre was located? There are photographs of large RVs in the info centre parking lot, reinforcing the city view that such vehicles can make the turn off the highway on to 39th Avenue. But it would be interesting to know how many RVs actually stopped and how that compares to the former tourism booths. There’s no way of knowing, but did some tourists attempt to get off the highway but couldn’t so they left town in frustration? It would be premature to declare the new tourism centre a victory as the statistics cover just a short period. Let’s wait and see what happens over the shoulder months of fall and winter when people drop into Vernon for a golf getaway or ski adventure. Will the upward momentum experienced between June and August continue or will numbers lag behind? But even if the figures continue to soar and more people walk through the door, it will be difficult to know if the new location is the driving force. That aside, though, it’s great to see people taking time out of their holidays to discover what the North Okanagan has to offer.

On Sunday, a rally against B.C. Timber Sales’ plans for a road and clearcut logging on Cherry Ridge attracted 110 people in Cherryville. To get such a crowd out on one of the last beautiful days of summer in a community of any size would be positive, but when you consider that Cherryville’s population is 939, such a turnout is simply amazing. And what such a demonstration says is that Cherryville residents are extremely concerned about large-scale logging potentially leading to slides, which could threaten homes and public amenities such as the elementary school in the valley bottom. But the concerns of residents continue to fall on deaf ears as B.C. Timber Sales, which is a provincial agency, pushes ahead with issuing a tender for road construction. BCTS is satisfied with the information it has gathered to make a decision, but the first-hand experience of Cherryville residents of the geography and previous slides appears to have been ignored. “We want a say on what’s looked at,” said Eugene Foisy, regional district director, of calls for a risk assessment. It should be pointed out that Cherryville residents aren’t opposed to logging as forestry has been one of the economic backbones of the area. But they favour selective harvesting that considers the local water supply and the environment. MLA Eric Foster appears to be sympathetic to the plight of his constituents and has taken their concerns directly to the powersthat-be in Victoria. And while Foster deserves praise for his actions, they may not be sufficient. As BCTS continues to move ahead, Forests Minister Steve Thomson needs to ensure the concerns of residents are addressed. The first step would be for Thomson to travel to Cherryville and hear from the community first-hand.

Reducing water consumption

ith regard to the recent letter entitled, "Water consumption," I find the writers concerns about water usage genuine, but the proposed solution both unrealistic and most probably unconstitutional. First, the two points mentioned in the letter about multinational corporations buying water to resell as bottled water and the oil sands using water as part of the bitumen extraction process are both irrelevant to the issue at hand, which is the consumption of water in Vernon. Furthermore, with any amount of bottled water bought and used by a Vernon resident, is that same amount not taken from our local water supply. And most of the water used in the extraction process by the oil sands is recycled water. The solution proposed in that letter is for the city to somehow stop further development, as opposed to urging residents to reduce water consumption. How exactly is the City of Vernon going to stop development? Ban people from moving to Vernon? Not constitutional. Ban builders from building new houses, or apartments or condominiums, or basement suits, etc.? Besides the loss of direct construction employment and the millions of dollars in material purchases, etc., what would this accomplish? Not very much. The net result would be a dramatic

huge success The Enderby and District Arts Council wishes to thank all of those who made the Enderby Arts Festival such a success. More than 2,000 people from Enderby, Salmon Arm, Armstrong, Vernon, Alberta, and as far away as Australia, showed up to enjoy the all-day artisan market, entertainment stage, drum circle, photo contest exhibition, art activities and great food. This was the fifth annual festival and each year it gets bigger and better. The addition of the family fun zone in Belvidere Park, organized by the Enderby and District Community Resource Centre, was very successful and we hope that they will do this again in 2015. The silent auction of donated fine art prints brought in over $2,000 to support art and artists in Enderby and district. A big thank you to the vendors, entertainers and participants, the City of Enderby and the downtown businesses, all of those who came out to enjoy the day, and

increase in the price of current homes and the cost of rent. Vernon would become a nice little oasis for the very wealthy, but there is no reason that water consumption would be reduced. The real solution is for the city to urge its residents to reduce water consumption. There is no need for any homeowner to have vast areas of perfectly green lawn surrounding their homes throughout the hot summer months. There are many beautiful landscaping alternatives that require a tiny fraction of the water to maintain.

especially our group of hard working volunteers. We invite everyone back on July 25, 2015. Diana Inselberg, Vice-President, enderby & District Arts council rePort resPonse I am responding to the Okanagan Rail Trail Society. I have read all of your information and it states trail construction and maintenance economic impacts have not been included. It also states in many places that it was a quick report. If they are planning to go forward with this, let us see a proper business investment prospectus. When doing this prospectus, make sure you include all communication with landowners involved. This should involve a questionnaire to all landowners involved. It must take into account the possibility that gas could get as high as $2 to $2.50 a litre in the near future because of Far East and European problems.

Will Alberta get its oil out to any port and the downturn in the Third World economies and North American economies not responding as expected? These will all have a devastating result on the travelling public. The society seems to ignore my question about what are we going to do with all of this extra traffic they say we will get? We have traffic problems now: 32nd Street and 27th Street are both just about operating at maximum and this increase will cause major traffic jams. So who is going to pay for the major road building that will be encountered? We the public should not be responsible. The trail people should have to raise a major portion of this money if they wish to build the trail. Their own impact study indicates that the Kekuli Bay campsite, for July and August, is overfilled now. So what is going to happen when more people are coming in? Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park, in my opinion today, is overused and we should lower the

number of people per day using it and shut down bike riding as we are destroying a one of a kind park. If we allow more people to use it our children might not have it to use and admire. Why is the initiative thinking this will help commuting? Very few will use this to commute to any of the communities as it takes too long. You are creating a trail for the use of a few, and where are they getting their numbers? The KVR, which is an established trail with a great views, only has 40,000 and they say we will surpass this in five years, hard to believe. The initiative also states that it will create the equivalent of 66 full-time jobs. Now I question this as it will be a mostly seasonal business and therefore the jobs will be part-time (now here near the hours, pay or benefits of full-time). Please be honest with the public when you are asking to use their hard-earned money for nothing. If this is such a good deal, then private money should be lining up to invest in it. My tax money would be better

Here are some other methods to reduce water consumption: n Check faucets and pipes for leaks. A small drip from a worn faucet washer can waste 20 gallons of water per day. Larger leaks can waste hundreds of gallons. n Take shorter showers. One way to cut down on water use is to turn off the shower after soaping up, and then turn it back on to rinse. A four-minute shower uses approximately 20 to 40 gallons of water. n Turn off the water after you wet your toothbrush There is no need to keep the water running while brushing your teeth. Just wet your brush and fill a glass for mouth rinsing. n Keep a bottle of drinking water in the fridge. Running tap water to cool it off for drinking water is wasteful. n Use your dishwasher and clothes washer for only full loads There are many more ways to reduce consumption, but the idea is to get each resident to conserve a few gallons per day and then, multiplied by the number of residents, it quickly becomes millions of gallons per week.

The calm of a relaxing tour through wine country was shattered for a couple who found themselves with a front row seat to a high speed gun battle between the occupants of a van being pursued by Mounties.

and 1:30 p.m. on a “nice, warm sunny day,” the Fayants were at the end of Mission Hill Drive, where it intersects with Boucherie Road. Gwen testified she was looking straight ahead, into the distance, when her attention sharply shifted right. “I heard what sounded like fire crackers going off … or bubble wrap, actually,” she said. Looking to see what the noise was coming from, she saw a lighter coloured van speeding along Boucherie, with two “ghost cars” in hot pursuit. The cop cars had their emergency lights on and sirens followed soon after, she said. Then a second series of

pops went off. Immediately after police vehicles came to a stop in front of their vehicle, while the speeding van took off into the distance. “A police officer got out right away and he was patting himself down to check if anything hit him,” she said, noting that he seemed “disoriented and concerned.” The officer patting himself down was Cpl. Brian Harris, the court heard last week. He had been in pursuit of the van for four kilometers before several shots struck his vehicle, including one that pierced the window. In the car behind him was Const. Mike Phillion.

The Fayants drove toward the officer and asked if he was OK. They then drove on around 100 feet ahead, parked and gave their contact information, in case it would be needed. When asked if she could recognize the driver of the van within the courtroom Monday, Gwen said “no.” Her husband Darren, however, named Ellis the driver. Other than that disparity, their accounts of the events that day were very similar: There was a man with lighter hair at the wheel of a van speeding ahead of two police cars. They heard four to five shots fired in quick

Water Board. Among the issues that Fairbairn wants to focus on is promoting agriculture as economic development and resolve provincial meat processing regulations. “I want to continue to attract young farmers to get involved in the industry and to make our food network safe,” he said.

The all-party Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services will be holding province-wide public consultations on the next provincial budget.

When asked what the impact of the series of events was, Darren said “great.” “At first I was shocked it happened—I was nervous, shaking,” he said. “To this day I can see … it clearly in my mind. It’s something I’ll never forget. It was traumatic. I’ve never seen or heard anybody be shot at.” Ellis is charged with 22 offences, including five counts of attempted murder.

Pianist comes from the land of tango AmAndA morAzAin For The Morning Star

The Vernon Jazz Club will celebrate with a fiesta of sound as the Gabriel Palatchi Trio opens the start of the season this Saturday night. The band will be playing originals as well as some covers including Caravan (Duke Ellington), Poinciana (Nat Simon), and Cantaloupe Island (Herbie Hancock). Born in Buenos Aires, Palatchi began playing the piano when he was eight. After studying classical at the Conservatory of Manuel de Falla, he received a degree in music from the Berklee International School in Argentina. Palatchi’s music is described as being a mix of Latin jazz, funk, tango, and gypsy. When asked what inspires him to write, Palatchi replied, “I live in Tulum, Mexico four to five months every year and it’s there where I get really inspired and compose all my music. I would say that living in the nature and having the time to enjoy life inspires me to write music.” His first solo album, entitled Diario de Viaje (Travel Diary) and recorded in Mexico City, was chosen as one of the best Latin jazz CDs of the year by Jazz FM and is played on radio stations around the globe. He has already released a second album, Caja Musical (Music Box), and will be recording a third in the upcoming year. This will be accompanied by a tour throughout Europe and South America. Palatchi currently splits his time between Canada, Mexico, and Argentina. It was in Mexico that the Gabriel Palatchi Band was initially formed. Band members have included international musicians from

Argentinian pianist Gabriel Palatchi leads his trio to the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday to start the Vernon Jazz Society’s 2014-15 season. Cuba, Mexico, Canada, France, Uruguay, England, Russia, Peru, Spain, and Argentina. His extensive travelling has gained him worldwide acclaim. “Pianist Gabriel Palatchi provides a worldly perspective on the traditional Latin jazz sound and with his impressive debut,

stakes his claim as one of the new young lions of Latin jazz,” said Edward Blanco, music critic with Ejazznews.com Palatchi will be joined by Doug Stephenson on bass and Tony Ferraro on drums at the Vernon Jazz Club. Stephenson has been a key member of

Western Canada’s jazz community for the past 25 years, working with artists Melody Diachun, Karin Plato, Jennifer Scott, and blues legend Big Miller to name a few. His music has been heard not only in live venues but in theatre, radio, television, and jingle productions. His arrangements and sound were showcased in Decidedly Jazz Dance Works’ productions No Small Feets and Classic Jam. Both of these shows headlined major venues in the Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, and Victoria jazz festivals. Stephenson is a member of the jazz and contemporary music program at Mount Royal College and is an instructor at the University of Calgary. Ferraro was named Percussionist of the Year by Humber College and has studied privately with legendary drummers Dave Weckl (Chick Corea, Paul Simon, Madonna), Steve Smith (Journey, Buddy DeFranco, Victor Wooten), and Horacio Hernandez (Carlos Santana, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Roy Hargrove). Ferraro is a diverse drummer whose experience includes playing rock with Juno award winning bands Idle Eyes, Trooper, and The Spoons, and Juno nominee Melody Diachun. The Gabriel Palatchi Trio takes the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club (3000-31st St.) Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the Bean Scene, Bean to Cup, and at www.vernonjazz.ca.

Only you (will-writer) can prevent this Do you know how high the probate fee will be? Should you jointly-own your home to avoid probate? What are the dangers of that strategy? What struggles aggravate executors the most? What simple steps can you take now to avoid them? Will your executor have to deal with capital gains taxes? Is it more difficult for family if the cremation or burial wasn’t preplanned?

Artist casts Broken Spell

Arts

Morning Star Staff

If the interior space is a metaphor for the mind, Diane Feught’s visual statement yearns towards knowing. About to show her recent miniature paintings in the exhibition Broken Spell at Headbones Gallery in Vernon, Feught has always searched for something deeper. Immersed in Buddhist teachings while growing up in Edmonton, she is now a busy graphic designer who also has an active painting practice. “This is Diane Feught’s third solo exhibition with Headbones Gallery and the wait is sure to be worth it,” said Headbones owner Julie Oakes. Feught’s turn to miniatures follows suit for the format that, Oakes says, comes from the Eastern world. “Traditionally miniatures depicted scenes from religious stories but because of their portability, they were also used for portraiture and scenes from daily life, sometimes of a personal nature,” she said. “These may be little works, but visually they deliver a Goliath-like punch.” Feught’s miniature gouache paintings on paper also reveal interior spaces, which Oakes says often have a figure and a swatch of wallpaper within the frame. “Each of Feught’s paintings is set up as an interior. The figures are within a space, behind a mask, enclosed or boxed. The wallpaper is a substitute for the outside, the exterior. It is the objective reality that refers to the undisclosed subjective personal-

The Okanagan Symphony Orchestra has found itself a new executive director. The OSO board has appointed Robert Barr to the position. “Robert brings over 20 years of experience in arts management and operations in both B.C. and Ontario and we are extremely pleased to have him join the OSO management team,” said Ginette Williams, president of the Okanagan Symphony Society. Barr joined the OSO in July and has been familiarizing himself with the organization in preparation for the commencement of the symphony’s new season in October. During that time, Barr has had the support of the OSO’s previous executive director Scott Wilson, who is retiring. “The board is looking forward to an exciting new chapter in the long history of the Okanagan Symphony Society and, in particu-

It is in code, just understandable now, but with the potential for knowledge,” said Oakes. Feught’s psychoanalytical visual approach to the human condition in painting is alluring as well as mystifying because she sets up her scenes with the trappings of beauty, like a film noire, added Oakes. “These small, well-done paintings are powerful pulls towards consciousness.” Headbones is holding an opening reception for Broken Spell, with Feught in attendance, Saturday from 6 to 9 p.m. The gallery is located at 6700 Old Kamloops Rd. The exhibition continues to Oct. 25. Hours are Tuesday to Saturday, noon to 6 p.m.

lar, to working closely with Robert and benefitting from his professional knowledge, experience and advice,” said Williams. Barr comes to the OSO after having spent 15 years with Vancouver’s Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival, the last nine as managing director. During his tenure there, audience size increased by 35 per cent and the budget increased from $2.4 million to $4 million. He also spent four years on the executive of the international Shakespeare Theatre Association, including a term as president. “I am excited about bringing some of the lessons I learned with Bard (On The Beach) and uncovering how some of those successes can be translated to the Okanagan Symphony,” said Barr. “I’m happy to be joining an organization with a solid core audience and established

outreach programs. The entire Okanagan Valley is growing, as I expect will its appetite for arts and culture. I’m looking forward to working with (music director) Rosemary Thomson and the board of directors and to see how the OSO and its community will evolve over the coming years.” Barr’s enthusiasm for the arts and his management skills make this an exciting time for the OSO, said Thomson. “This fall will welcome the OSO’s 55th season and we continue to be dedicated to bring the passion and joy of symphonic music to life throughout the Okanagan,” she said. The 2014-2015 concert season opens with Rhapsody in Vernon, Oct. 19.

The Bra Lady

Is Coming to Size You Up

Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

✁

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Chapman is coming to VERNON ON wEd. SEPT. 24TH to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”

✁

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

cation coordinator for the North & Central Okanagan. “It’s exceptionally rewarding work, to know that you are making a meaningful difference in someone’s life. “Our volunteers tell us they get far more than they give.” A facilitator is needed for the monthly support group, which has enormous value to caregivers. “This is their lifeline,” says Gronlund. “They can meet with people with similar issues who are in a unique position to offer support to others on the same journey. “The group is a place where they can talk openly, share information and give each other mutual support.” The facilitator should have excellent listening and empathetic skills, and a knowledge of dementia or a willingness to learn. Formal or informal caregiving experience is an asset. Training is provided and a one-year commitment is required.

Fathers and daughters go to the ball The Father Daughter Ball is a fun event that supports the community Cara Brady Morning Star Staff

The Father Daughter Ball is a special evening for girls age six and up to enjoy a formal dinner and dance with their fathers. “There is something unique in the father-daughter bond,” said Craig Goplen, who took his two daughters, now grown up, to the ball when they were at home. “It’s kind of magical for them to pick out their dresses and go out to dinner and a dance with a band with all of their fathers’ attention.” The Father Daughter Ball was started 17 years ago by the Vernon Kiwanis Club as a fundraiser for local children’s charities and is now sponsored by the Kiwanis Club and Silver Star Rotary.

With the help of local businesses, which donate donate merchandise for the silent auction or cash, the event can provide scholarships, school barbecues, educational exchanges, leadership training, donations to food banks and youth programs. Local organizations which benefit include Teen Junction, Okanagan Science Centre, the North Okanagan Hospice Society, Vernon Jubilee Hospital, the Community Dental Access Centre, Santas Anonymous and others. All proceeds remain in the Greater Vernon area to benefit children and youth. The Father Daughter Ball takes place Sept. 19 at 5 p.m. at the Best Western Vernon Lodge. It includes dinner, a dance, portraits and a silent auction. Tickets are $135 per couple with tickets for additional daughters or friends $50 each. For more information and tickets see www.fatherdaughterball.net. or contact Goplen at cgoplen@shaw.ca or at 250545-4466. As well, local businesses and individuals are invited to provide cash to offset expenses or merchandise for the silent auction.

Vernon Museum hosts Culture Days Morning Star Staff

Do you love culture? Then come and create, participate and celebrate it at the Greater Vernon Museum & Archives during the fifth annual Culture Days weekend. Drop in anytime between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Sept. 26 and 27 to take part. “We’ve created a fun activity the whole family can play called Spot what doesn’t belong,” said Denise Marsh, marketing and communications coordinator for the museum. “Participants will use their eagle eyes and smarts to find the artifacts that don’t belong

also be set up to get those creative juices flowing. In addition, women and young girls alike

will be captivated by the recently installed Evolution of the Wedding Gown exhibit. “This beautiful exhibit showcases a small number of the wedding gowns in the museum’s collection, spanning seven decades,” said Marsh, adding that the earliest wedding gown on display dates back to 1908, with the most recent worn in 1961. This is a free community event in celebration of culture. “Don’t forget to also take part in all the wonderful cultural events scheduled in the community over the Culture

Market is filled with pears

here seems to be an over-abundance of pears at the markets right now; and like apples, to which they are related, pears come in thousands of varieties, of which only a small fraction are grown in Canada. Their fine, slightly granular flesh is much more fragile than apples and, unlike most fruit, they improve in flavour and texture after they’re picked. Pears are very delicate and bruise easily when ripe, so always buy slightly underripe Cathi Litzenberger (firm but not hard), then ripen at home. They ripen from the inside out — when they’re ready they should give a little at the base. Avoid pears that are mushy or bruised. For a wonderful dessert try poaching pears in any flavourful liquid, whole or sliced. Poaching is gentle stove-top cooking, and winter pears are ideal candidates since they keep their shape. Poaching also improves the taste of mild flavoured pears, and the longer the pears sit in the flavourful syrup after poaching, the better they’ll taste. Today I have a vanilla poached pear recipe and a pear chutney for you to try. Vanilla Poached Pears 1 (750-ml) bottle white wine, Riesling or Viognier (can use de-alcoholized) 1 cup water 5 ounces vanilla sugar, approximately 3/4 cup 1 whole vanilla bean, split and scraped 4 firm Bartlett, Anjou or Bosc pears, peeled leaving the stem intact Place the white wine, water, sugar and vanilla bean and pulp into a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Core the pears from the bottom. Decrease the heat to medium low and place the pears into the liquid, cover and cook for 30 minutes or until the pears are tender but not falling apart. Maintain a gentle simmer. Remove the pears to a serving dish, standing them upright, and place in the refrigerator. Remove the vanilla bean from the saucepan, increase the heat to high and reduce the syrup to approximately 1 cup of liquid, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Do not allow the syrup to turn brown. Place the syrup in a heatproof container and place in the refrigerator until cool, approximately 1 hour. Remove the pears from the refrigerator, spoon the sauce over the pears and serve.

Cyclist injured Morning Star Staff

The Suicide Prevention Committee of Vernon and Area invites you to light a candle at 8:00 PM

A Vernon cyclist sustained injuries during an accident. On Sept. 5 at about 7:50 a.m., RCMP officers were called to 39th Avenue and 32nd Street. “A grey Chevy pickup driven by a 37-year-old Kamloops man hit a 30-year-old Vernon man on his bike,” said Gord Molendyk, with the RCMP. “The truck was turning and the cyclist was coming up on the inside.” The bike rider suffered leg injuries as a result and was Gord Molendyk taken to hospital for treatment. No charges were laid. Excessive speeders pulled over Two motorcyclists have been grounded. On the weekend, an RCMP officer stopped two motorcycles on Highway 97, near Falkland, for excessive speeding. “One was doing 160 kilometres an hour in the 90 zone and the second one was at one point doing in excess of 170 kilometres an hour,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. Both bikes have been seized for seven days and the drivers were issued $368 fines for excessive speeding. School zones not yet in effect With the ongoing teachers strike keeping schools out of session, that also means reduced speeds for school zones haven’t started. “The school zones become in effect when school is in session,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson.

Garden workshop today Morning Star Staff

The Regional District of North Okanagan will hold its final Xerindipity Garden workshop. Today from 7 to 8 p.m., join RDNO staff and agrologist Ruth McDougall for a free workshop about local soil. This one-hour workshop will explore the basics of soil structure and type, and how soil fertility determines plant viability. “While soil does not often get the attention it deserves, most gardeners understand the importance of starting with a good foundation for the enhanced health of their plants,” said Karmen Morgan, waste reduction co-ordinator. The Xerindipity Demonstration Garden is next to the Okanagan Science Centre in Polson Park. For further information, please contact the RDNO at 250-550-3700 or recycle@rdno.ca.

Armstrong wraps up Dunn Road project The $740,000 project included curbs, storm sewer, water and sanitary sewer. Dunn Road is just the latest initiative as part of the city’s 35-year road infrastructure program. “We have planned when we will redo every road,” said Pieper, adding that the list is based on the condition of the roads and the costs Chris Pieper involved. “We will do a project every year and eventually they will all be done.”

richard rolke Morning Star Staff

A big ticket construction project has been officially wrapped up in Armstrong. Upgrades to Dunn Road, which began May 5, have now been completed with the final paving. “Residents will be extremely happy,” said Mayor Chris Pieper. “There is more drainage and a lot less potholes.”

Work on Okanagan Street downtown will proceed next year. But not everything happening within Armstrong is being done by the city. CN Rail is expected to proceed with upgrades to the Fraser Road rail crossing today. “CN has recently advised that they also have necessary repairs to remediate broken rails at both the Schubert Road and Rosedale Avenue crossings and have scheduled to complete these while they are completing the Fraser Road improvements,” said Melinda

Stickney, chief administrative officer, in a report to members of the city’s public works committee. Schubert Road was supposed to be done Tuesday while Rosedale Avenue is set for Thursday. “The city has installed closure notification signs at all three crossings advising motorists of the scheduled closure dates,” said Stickney. “Each crossing will be closed for one day with necessary paving being completed the same day.”

After struggling to find members for two of its three fire halls for much of the past year, it appears the Lake Country Fire Department may have found a few new recruits. The Oyama and Carr’s Landing fire halls in Lake Country have both been running with low numbers of paidon call firefighters but there has been some movement in the number of volunteers stepping forward to help the department. Fire chief Steve Windsor said they are hoping some new applicants will be able to fill some positions in Oyama and Carr’s Landing that have been vacant for the past year.

“We are holding tryouts.” — Steve Windsor

“We’ve struggled over the past 12 months in Carr’s Landing and Oyama with membership but we have had some good results with some of our advertising,” he said. “We are holding tryouts for what we anticipate will be six to eight positions that we want to fill.” Recently, potential firefighters were put through a series of training exercises as the department begins the process of trying to fill the positions. Windsor said they

had 56 people apply for positions with the department. While the majority of the applicants are from Winfield, the two outlying stations in Oyama and Carr’s Landing have also had a few people step forward. “We’ve got seven applications for Oyama and two from Carr’s Landing,” said Windsor. In Lake Country, firefighters are paid-on call, meaning they are paid when they respond to a fire call but perform other duties on a volunteer basis.

Full agenda for Okanagan Basin Water Board Morning Star Staff

Considerable work continues within the Okanagan Basin Water Board. Among the issues facing the agency are population growth, civic and federal elections, new B.C. water regulations, climate change and recent court rulings recognizing aboriginal title. “This past year has seen movement on many important projects,” said Anna Warwick Sears, executive director. “These include: providing an Okanagan voice to the new B.C. Water Sustainability Act; the start of a wetland strategy for the Okanagan, aimed at addressing the steep decline in these systems that protect water quality, prevent flooding and recharge groundwater; continued work to prevent a costly and devastating infestation of invasive mussels; improvements to control aquatic weeds; the re-establishment of monitoring stations to measure stream flows; work towards a tool to improve the way water managers make licenc-

ing decisions, and much more.” Looking forward, there is much work to do, but there are also many unknowns, says Warwick Sears. “We have to act deliberately and pay attention to changing conditions – whether we’re talking weather, financial, or political. We don’t want to waste time or resources,” she said. Recognizing all of the changes ahead, the OBWB invited Deborah Curran, municipal lawyer and a professor in environmental law and sustainability, to speak to the board recently. “There are four things local governments need to be aware of,” said Curran. “One, the Water Sustainability Act is moving towards groundwater licencing. This will affect local governments since many communities use ground-water and also the regulations will impact surface water licencing. “Two, the act recognizes the need to meet environmental flow needs, or water for fish. In the future,

water licences may be changed to meet water needs of fish. Three, aboriginal rights and title are likely to have implications for water entitlements. And four,

they need to be aware of the importance of negotiation with other users and rights holders. “The trend for water disputes is to negotiate by having everyone cut

back and develop water sustainability plans. Negotiating water use in a regional context, in the Okanagan and elsewhere, will win out at the end of the day.”

“This past year has seen movement.”

Bring your items with poisonous or corrosive labels for safe disposal and recycling. Divorce is granted in Canada for one reason. Marriage breakdown. Marriage breakdown is based on one of the following 3 “grounds.” There are just three grounds for marriage breakdown: Cruelty or Adultery, or Separation for one year. Any one of them is sufficient for divorce. You do not need to have more than one ground. Separation for one year: You have lived “separate and apart” for a year having decided the marriage is over. Living “separate and apart” does not necessarily mean living in separate homes. You can live separate and apart while sharing a home. It is also possible to claim that although you only recently moved out and live in a different home, the marriage broke down and was essentially over at some time in the past, regardless of living arrangements You do not need a separation agreement to prove separation.

About 11 Canadians will end their lives by suicide today. In B.C., we lose an average of 501 people a year due to suicide. The effects of suicide can be devastating to our communities and our families. Suicide prevention is a shared responsibility - we all have the potential to make a difference and save a life. Connecting Canada is the theme for this year’s World Suicide Prevention Day today. The campaign highlights that being connected with oneself, with others, and with a community is critical to hopefulness and wellbeing. World Suicide Prevention day is a time to remember that we are all connected to each other, through shared experiences and hope. “Everyone can benefit from the help and support of their family, friends, and community during difficult times,” said Jenny Green, community health facilitator with the Interior Health Authority. “Many suicides are preventable. Suicide prevention begins with our willingness to recognize the signs of suicide and talk openly about it. Once you have a feeling that someone might be thinking about suicide, it is important to ask them as directly, clearly, and as soon as possible.” The Interior Crisis Line Network provides residents with around-the-clock access to telephone support. The toll-free number is 1-888-353-2273. Assistance is also available through local mental health and substance use services, family physicians, emergency services and through web-based supports such as Crisis Centre (http://www.crisiscentre.bc.ca).

Lake Country demands highway barriers the Island highway and the accident call volume on that, especially for head-on collisions, decreased hugely when they installed the no post barriers.” Windsor pointed to the sheer volume of traffic that flows on Highway 97 every day as one reason for an increase in accident calls his department responded to in the first half of this year. “At the north end of Lake Country, the new highway I think has corrected a lot of the problems we had with volume of traffic but you still have that volume of traffic to the south,” he said. “When you get that volume and you make a mistake there is not much ability to correct yourself.” Windsor said the nopost barriers do cause some access issues but he says it would be worth it for the transportation ministry to investigate to see if something can be done to improve safety. Coun. Penny Gambell said it’s concerning to see so many accidents happening on the local highway, adding that the opening of the new highway has

kevin parnell Black Press

The District of Lake Country is going to ask the Ministry of Transportation to investigate whether it can install barriers to separate the north and south lanes of Highway 97 between Lake Country and Kelowna. The move came after fire chief Steve Windsor’s bi-annual report to council. Windsor reported that there was a substantial increase in serious accidents his department has responded to on the highway between Lake Country and Kelowna, pointing to a continued increase in traffic volume as one likely cause. And Windsor says the installation of nopost cement barriers to separate the northsouth lanes could do a lot to reduce serious accidents such as head on crashes. “No post barriers have definitely alleviated a lot of the calls for the new stretch of Highway 97,” said Windsor. “We’d like the ministry to look at installing them from Beaver Lake road south to Kelowna. I have experience with

“It just seems like we had a number.”

— Penny Gambell changed the location of the accidents happening in Lake Country. “It just seems like we had a number over the summer and it’s cer-

tainly a concern,” said Gambell. “We have the new highway and that seems to have taken care of accidents at the north

end of Lake Country. Why is it all of the sudden, we are getting these accidents at the south end?” The increase in motor vehicle accidents as well as more structure fires highlighted the first six months of the year for Lake Country’s fire department. Windsor said while it was a fairly average start to the year for Lake Country’s protective

services department, there were some trends over the first six months of 2014. “Structure fires were the biggest increase,” said Windsor. “In the first six months of 2013, we had one (structure fire) and at this point in 2014 we have had seven.” Meanwhile, Windsor said the first six months of the year saw the fire department add to its

equipment with a new interface fire engine for Carr’s Landing. That gives the department two engines capable of fighting fires in interface areas where homes are built amongst the forest. “We’ve had very good success with both engines, in fact one of them was over assisting West Kelowna for three days with their large interface fire,” he said.

Vipers search for new coach Duncan Wray conducted three phone interviews before lunch Tuesday morning as the search for a new head coach/GM of the Vernon Vipers begins. Jason Williamson left the B.C. Hockey League franchise Saturday for personal reasons. Wray, the team’s longtime owner, addressed the Vipers after their exhibition win over the Salmon Arm SilverBacks Saturday night. “It boggles my mind how many resumes we are getting from all over North America,” said Wray. “We’re going to get something done in the next while, as long as it takes to get the right man.” Williamson, 33, was set to enter his fourth year as the bench boss and eighth season overall with the Vipers’ coaching staff. Last season, the former Viper captain guid-

ed the team to the Interior Conference title and a semifinal appearance at the RBC Cup. Added Wray: “Jason has decided he needs some time Jason WIlliamson away from the game to get his affairs in order and I respect that. He has been great for our hockey club and will be missed, however, we must move forward.” Assistant Kevin Kraus is the interim head coach/GM, while Eric Godard will increase his role as an assistant coach. “I’m confident in what Kevin can do in the short-term with Eric’s help, but it’s unlikely to be a permanent thing, and he’s content with that,” said Wray. Kraus, a Californian, served as head coach/

GM of the KIJHL Revelstoke Grizzlies for two years before working as an assistant coach under Troy Mick with the BCHL Salmon Arm SilverBacks last season. “I think I’m ready to handle the load,” said Kraus, who was captain of the 2009-10 Royal Bank Cup champion Snakes. “None of us expected this to happen, but Jason did a good job recruiting and setting up the team for success.” Said Viper captain Riley Guenther: “It was a little bit of a shock to us; we weren’t really expecting this. We know he has his reasons and we respect him for doing what he has to do. “The mood is fine with everyone; we need to keep moving forward. Nothing changes for us; we need to keep focused on what we are doing. The morale is OK.” Guenther said the sudden coaching switch won’t change his role.

“I don’t think so. I’m here to make sure guys are still on board with what we have going on. Duncan told us he is trying to get it done sooner than later. But we are ready to go with Krauser for now.” Kraus and Godard both played in the Western Hockey League and with Kraus being a d-man and Godard a forward, they should bring a solid dynamic to the bench. Kraus isn’t going to rewrite the Vipers’ playbook now that he’s in charge. “We’re just getting the team ready for the Showcase (Sept. 19 in Chilliwack versus Cowichan Valley Capitals). We want to be a puck-possession team. We don’t want to give up too many goals, but we don’t want to limit our offence.” The Vipers play a final pair of exhibition games this weekend with Prince George Spruce Kings visiting Friday at 6 p.m. The teams battle Saturday night in Prince George.

More than 3,400 kilometres away from his home in Texas, Thomas Aldworth was bearing a bike chain necklace that UFC fighter Rampage Jackson would have been proud of and celebrating a win with his new teammates. Aldworth’s two goals and one assist carried the Vernon Vipers to a 4-2 victory over the Salmon Arm SilverBacks in B.C. Hockey League exhibition play Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. “I was using my speed well on their deemen, driving wide and working with my linemates well tonight,” said the five-foot-11 Aldworth. With the Vipers trailing by one in the second frame, Aldworth took a feed inside the blue line and ripped it blocker side, top shelf from inside the right faceoff dot. Aldworth added an empty-netter and was awarded the player of the game bike chains by captain Riley Guenther after the game. The Snakes outshot the Backs 37-30. “My linemates were great tonight, (Luke) Voltin and (Linden) Hora were great,” said Aldworth. “We are starting to come together as a team and hang out off the ice. It has been really fun so far.” The Vipers responded from surrendering three third-period goals the night before as the SilverBacks iced the Snakes 3-2 in Salmon Arm. “We simplified our game more tonight. We weren’t trying to go through guys at the offensive blue line, instead, we drove more pucks in deep and on the net,” said interim Vipers’ head coach Kevin Kraus.

Kraus was named the interim head coach on Monday following Jason Williamson’s departure from the organization for personal reasons. Guenther was given credit for the game winner, but he admits that he was making his way off the ice when the puck went in. “(Jake) Emilio actually scored the winner. I dumped the puck to Alds (Aldworth) and he cycled it, the puck got thrown on net and Emilio got a nice rebound in the slot and it went top corner,” said Guenther. Local product Danny Todosychuk started between the pipes for the Vipers in his graduating year. After allowing a powerplay goal early in the first, Todosychuk stood tall the rest of the way with 30 saves. The Vipers (2-1) are entering their third week of camp and the team is beginning to develop an identity with a few more roster selections to be made. “We will be a lot different than last year,” said Guenther, who enters his second season with the Snakes. “We need to be a lot more simple this year and hard-working. Once we start to gel, we can be a bit more creative, but for now, we need to stick to the basics.” The Snakes are close to figuring out their final roster. They released Matthew Jallbart, Kyle Tanev and Jordan Boulton. They have 24 players made up of 13 forwards, nine defencemen and a pair of goalies. “We need to cut two more defencemen and I haven’t figured out what I am doing with that last forward spot,” said Kraus. “I’m not sure if the moves will be made this week or after the final two games.”

Kreutz boys rule Morning Star Staff

It was Championship Sunday for the Kreutz family at the Vernon Golf & Country Club. Norm Kreutz, 44, claimed the men’s club title at 76-74-150, while his son Matt, 17, took the junior crown with 69-74-142. Karen Hassard won the ladies club trophy at 79-80-159. Norm Kreutz, a four handicap, has been second or third the past few years after threepeating, starting in 2001. He beat former champ Steve King by two strokes to collect $175 in pro shop cash. Asked what was working for him, Kreutz replied: “Just grinding. I had a really good start both days. We started on the back nine the first day and was 4-under after six holes. I went birdie-birdie starting on the front the second day and birdied 13 which was a pretty pivotal hole for me. “I kept my cool and did it one hole at a time which I guess you’re supposed to do. My strength is tee to green.” King won the first flight prize, followed by Andy Saunders at 153, Cory Hewko at 154 by retrogression, and Ken Kurbis at 154. In the second flight, it was Brian Carpenter placing first at 159, two strokes ahead of Ken Friesen. Randy Gott was third at 162 and Doug Smith four with 166. James Phair ruled the third flight at 168, followed by Chris Rogers (170, retro), Glenn Kitigawa (170) and Peter McClean (175). Eamon Doherty took first in the fourth flight at 174, followed by Marvin Van Meter at 180, Fakri Siddiqui at 182 and Norm Korol

at 189. Blaine MacPherson pocketed the overall low net trophy at 137. Jon Gardner at 141, Mike Sheldon with 143, Peter Smith at 144 and Graydon Brown at 147 were top-four in the first flight. Curtis Wallace topped the second flight at 142, followed by Ernie Cherkowski at 145, Tyler Galenzoski at 147 and Lionel Loschuk at 148. Club captain Peter Murray won the third flight with 146, two strokes ahead of Rob Irving. Todd Oliver was third at 150 and Klaas Kwakklel fourth at 152. Garry Messina claimed the fourth flight at 147, followed by Ron Riemens at 152, John Pringle at 154 and Rick Krushen at 160. Matt Kreutz, a two handicap, completed the record daily double for his family by dominating the junior field, finishing nine strokes ahead of buddy Mac Gourdine. Kreutz birdied the second, eighth and 10th holes Saturday for his 69 and birdied four, eight, nine and 15 while earning bogeys on 17 and 18 Sunday. “My driving and irons were good this weekend and that’s normally my strong point,” said Kreutz, a 17-year-old Grade 12 Kalamalka student who took home a dozen Pro V1 golf balls and a plaque. Matt averages 280 yards off the tee which is just a few feet shorter than his dad. The two have some great matches. “It’s pretty close most of the time. I do give him a couple of strokes, but he always makes it close,” said Matt, who is eyeing T:5” a college scholarship. He swung

Daniel Saunders took the third flight at 192 by two strokes over Taylor Scott. Makena Kersey won a $70 pro shop gift card as the overall low net champion with 198. Christian Lacasse posted a 147 to win the first flight low net, one stroke ahead of Austin Bosquet. Nicholas Friesen ruled the second flight at 149, one shot better

than Anthony Prince. Langdon Kersey claimed the third flight at 155, while Koll Cherkowski was second at 179. McEachran-Law received two fairway woods for winning the putting contest, while Friesen pocketed a pair of wedges for second spot. Seth Blundell and Chai bagged putters for third and fourth. Hassard, meanwhile, carded 79-80 to take the women’s title. “I’ve won 23 or 24, I’m not sure,” said Hassard, 75. “I was driving the ball very straight and that helped set up the holes. My putting was better the second day.” Hassard, who didn’t take up the game until she was 35, has one

An injury-time goal prevented the Heat from leaving with a win. Instead, they had to settle with another draw after tying UNBC 1-1 Saturday afternoon. Dodds blasted six shots and fellow Vernon product Michelle Smith looked to ice the game in the 87th minute when she fired a shot off the crossbar.

Football kicks off game,” said coach Brad Devries. The Pee Wee Magnums fell 50-18 to the host Salmon Arm Colts with several Magnums getting their first tackle game experience. Kohl Killingbeck ran the ball 13 times for 65 yards and Cody Wessels had three touches for 30 yards. Quarterback Ethan Mitchell was a one-man wrecking crew with 27 runs for more than 200 yards and three touchdowns. Also contributing on offence were Joey Mazzei, Quinn Thiessen and Liam Gombrich with some crushing blocks. William Satterthwaite ran for 24 yards as well. Defensively, Taber Mclean posted six tackles. The visiting Bantam Magnums were ambushed 36-0 by the Salmon Arm Chargers. Vernon was in the Charger red zone three times with no success. Josh Hyer was Vernon’s offensive player of the game, never giving up the whole 60 minutes. Tyler Riva was special teams MVP, returning kickoffs and grinding out some tough yardage with little blocking. Jackson Ponipal was selected the top defensive player with a sack, a knockdown and four tackles. Coach Doug Cook gave special praise to Reid Mckenzie and Zac Rogers for bold two-way play.

Kickers hold off Pogos Morning Star Staff

Three Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League favourites won opening quarterfinal games, while another game was postponed when the lights went out Monday night. Vernon had two teams involved with the Big O Tire-Turn-Key Controls Ogopogos falling 3-1 to the North Country Appraisals Kickers at Mission Sports Field #9. The Okanagan Spring Brewery Camels were taking the play to the host Lake Country Lakers under the lights when a transformer blew late in the second half. The match will be replayed Thursday at Mission Sports Field #9 (8 p.m.). Third-place North Country grabbed the lead on the Ogos early in the second half when Matt Cherrille intercepted a clearing pass and sent Sergio Santori in on a semi breakaway, and he slotted the ball into the far corner of the net past Nolan Clark, filling in for injured regular keeper Bryan Cope. Both Clark and North Country keeper David Gadd recorded several spectacular saves in the opening half. North Country continued to put pressure on Big O and were rewarded with a penalty shot after Steve Frost was brought down just inside the box. Frost blasted a high shot past Clark. Big O battled hard and just missed or were denied by Gadd until a rebound came to Duane Dennis, who nailed the bouncing ball top corner. John Garner hit Gadd on a breakaway and shot wide on the rebound. The sixth-place Ogos pushed for the equalizer but Steve Fagan and Floyd Ryan combined on a nifty play off a short corner and Ryan buried a low, hard shot. “It was a disheartening loss for the Ogopogos,” said veteran Kerry Zubot. “We had a great second half of the season and were playing very good soccer as a team.” North Country moves on to play second-place Brown Beneifts in a semifinal Monday night at

Beasley Park. Browns stopped stubborn seventh-place RPM Automotive 4-1 in the Mission. After a cagey start by both teams, the Browns opened the scoring when Lionel Hoffman’s powerful shot found the bottom corner. Don Brown doubled the advantage from the penalty spot after Hoffman was tripped in the box. The Browns went up 3-0 just before halftime when Tony Gonzales struck a sweet shot just inside the far post. RPM came out very strong after the break and were rewarded when Wayne Clark’s long range effort found the top corner. But the Browns replied a minute later when Steve Nader’s shot from just outside the box found the top shelf to complete the scoring. First-place Penticton Dental Centre Clinic shaded visiting eighth-place Brandt’s Creek Pub 1-0 at Kings Park. Despite Penticton maintaining possession for the majority of the game, the Kelowna defence was solid and thwarted many scoring opportunities. Mike Beliveau converted on a free kick from just outside the box, bending it around the wall of defenders and inside the post, eluding Kelowna keeper Pat Arneri, who otherwise had a strong game. After losing Vincent Jones to a red card for a second caution midway through the second half, Brandt’s kept pressing but were stymied by a bold Penticton back line. Brandt’s had four solid scoring chances, the best on a wide open header with two minutes to play. In Lake Country, the fourth-place Lakers dominated play in the opening 10 minutes, but from then on, it was all fourth-place Camels until the lights went out. Unmarked Camel Gord Howard just missed on a low shot from seven yards after a superb cross by Rob Hulstein, while birthday boy Mike Daly sent a header wide off a corker free kick by Rick Raber. Humpback keeper Dave Dutcher made a few solid stops early on as the Lakers came out hard.

The Southern Interior Football League consists of Atom, Pee Wee, Junior Bantam and Bantam teams from Vernon, Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Kelowna and West Kelowna. “This year, the league has changed the rules a bit and all divisions play a Canadian rules game that has only nine men on the field instead of the standard 12 men,” said Vernon president Ed Huber. “This has allowed for more teams in each division to run.” The Vernon Atom Magnums lost 36-6 to the host Kelowna Lions, giving up four unanswered touchdowns before coming alive in the second half with a forced fumble and a recovery by Nate Yablonski. Morgan Hackman had one sack and one tackle. With the help of the great blocking on the O line, Grady Krause had a 60-yard run that set up Carston Disher for a touchdown.

Knights set for opener TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff

The North Okanagan Knights wrapped up their exhibition schedule by losing 1-0 to the Revelstoke Grizzlies in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League play Saturday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Knights went 0-3 in the exhibition season, getting outscored 10-2. “In exhibition games you want to see progress and evaluate your players. If you compare our first game with our last game, you would see a more structure-based team,” said Knights’ bench boss Jim Armstrong. The Knights were blanked twice during the pre-

tend season and it is something that Armstrong has already addressed. “It’s always a concern when you don’t score. Thankfully, Logan Mostat is coming back. He is a veteran in this league and he brings a scoring prescence to our lineup,” said Armstrong. Mostat was released by his hometown Salmon Arm SilverBacks after playing against the Vernon Vipers Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. He supplied nine goals and 17 points for the Knights last season. Dryden Profeit has been named the Knights’ captain, but Armstrong and his coaching staff are still working on the assistant captains. Armstrong enters the season with assistant coaches Bobby Nichols, Jeremy Wiebe and Chris Kingdon. Nichols will work with the forwards, Wiebe with the defence and Kingdon the goalies. Local product Layne Greene appears to have earned a spot with the Knights. Armstrong was impressed with the young defenceman, who joined the Knights late after leaving the Revelstoke Grizzlies. “He is going to help us a lot. He is a mobile deeman, he’s smart, he’s physical, he doesn’t shy away from contact and he has an offensive side to him as well,” said Armstrong. It looks like returnee goaltender Mitch Profeit has cashed in on the starting job. Profeit was 7-10 with a 3.36 goals against average and a .894 save percentage last year. A pair of 17-year-olds in Nathan Harmel and Tyler Quiring, along with 18-year-old Brady Lenardon, will battle it out for the backup position. Lenardon was an affiliated player with the team last season. The Knights open their regular season at home Friday night against the Osoyoos Coyotes. “I’m feeling good about the regular season. It’s gonna be a tough game, Osoyoos has 16 returning players, but we’ve got a few practices to work on our structure and finalize this team,” said Armstrong.

Bridge by Phillip Alder ANOTHER VARIATION ON A SIMILAR THEME Shoshana Zuboff, who recently retired from her post as the Charles Edward Wilson Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, said, “Activities that seem to represent choices are often inert reproductions of accepted practice.” There are bridge deals that appear to fit a mold, but with careful analysis, one can see that they are not an inert reproduction of accepted practice. In today’s deal, South is in two no-trump. How should he plan the play after West leads the heart queen and East signals with his nine? South starts with six top tricks: two spades, one heart and three diamonds.

There are two routes to eight tricks: four spades, one heart and three diamonds; or two spades, one heart and five diamonds. Getting four spade tricks seems to require the finesse to work a 50 percent chance; while collecting five diamond winners is a 54 percent shot. So itseems right to play on diamonds. Here, though, when the diamonds break badly, South does not have a hand entry to take the spade finesse. He will cash the spade ace and king to drop the queen, but that only provides three tricks in the suit, not four. The right line, after winning with the heart ace, is to lead the spade jack to encourage West to cover if he has the queen. But

after he plays low, declarer wins with dummy’s king and cashes the spade ace. When the queen drops, South leads a spade to his nine, then takes dummy’s three top diamonds and spade 10 for his contract. If the spade queen does not appear, declarer needs diamonds to run.

November 11, 1924 – September 2, 2014

was born on October 20th, 1959 in Vernon, B.C. and passed away on September 3rd, 2014 in the North Okanagan Hospice at the age of 54 years.

In the late afternoon on Tuesday, September 2 after eating what turned out to be his last supper, Dad drifted off into a deep sleep - quietly, peacefully, without suffering. Dad was just two months shy of celebrating his 90th birthday. Dad was a kind, warm, giving, loving, proud man. His absence in the lives of those who knew and loved him will be felt deeply, and his 89 years of life and great memories will be cherished and celebrated by those closest to him. Dad was predeceased by his son Gerald in 1965; and more recently, his loving wife of 65 years (Mom) Elizabeth in September 2009, with whom he always said were the “best years of my life.” In sickness, in health, in good times and times of struggles, ‘til death do us part. Mom and Dad, you are together again. Dad is survived by Brian (Linda) Kakoske; Donna Kakoske, Crystal, Candace and Adam; Cheryl (Ken) Pow; Lynda Rahn, Maria and Liz; Patti (Ross) MacDonald, Vicki, Gord and Brodie; Michael (Heather) Kakoske, Ryan and Bryce; and great grandchildren Kaden, Ethan, Haille, Vienna, Brynlee, Baeleigh and Kane. The family would like to thank Dr. Gilhooly for his excellent care and many kindnesses over the years. The family would also like to thank the wonderful staff at Heritage Square for their hardworking dedication, care, support and many kindnesses. It didn’t go unnoticed or unappreciated. You definitely made a huge difference in Dad’s final years. Dad was happy, content and felt Heritage Square was his home. What more could one ask or need. Brian, Cheryl, Lynda, Patti and Michael and their families.

In Memoriam

Stanley H.

Allen

January 20, 1946 September 9, 2013 In our hearts you will always stay, Loved and remembered day by day. Memories are treasures no one can steal, Death is a heartache no one can heal. Life must go on, we know it’s true, But it’s not the same since we lost you. You left quietly, Stanley, without goodbye, But memories of you will never die.

Lovingly remembered by Marilyn, Kerry (Lorraine), Kim (Carl), Matthew, Melissa, Hayden and Paige

Happy 65th Wedding Anniversary Olga & Bill Shumay

As a result of both their families moving from Saskatchewan to BC, to the town of Armstrong, Olga & Bill met and were later married on Sept. 11, 1949 at the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church in Vernon. They both worked for Okanagan Fruit Packers in Oyama until they started their family. Bill moved on to various sawmill & equipment operator jobs, prior to settling down at N.O.C.A. Dairy in Vernon, where he spent about 17 years of his career. Olga became the wonderful mother of 4 children which she nurtured over the years. The children are Gladys (Terry) Farrow of Vernon, Bob Shumay of Vernon, Doug (Jan) Shumay of Vernon & Melanie (Charles) Gushaty of St. Albert, AB. Olga & Bill have 6 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. While Olga was an excellent stay at home mother, Bill eventually switched from N.O.C.A. to School District #22 where he finished his career. The happy couple still live in Vernon, which has been home since shortly after being married, and are happily retired.
