Cultural plan examines options RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The future of Greater Vernon’s cultural amenities remains undetermined. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee continues work on a cultural plan, but a possible referendum date for a new art gallery and expanded museum has not been determined yet. “This is something that will unfold from implementation of the plan,” said Juliette Cunningham, GVAC chairperson. Cunningham The Vernon Public Art Gallery and the Greater Vernon Museum had lobbied for a referendum this year on new facilities, but GVAC decided instead to develop a long-term strategy for cultural services in the community. Cunningham admits the gallery and the museum are concerned about the apparent
delay, particularly because a referendum will be held this November on a new ice sheet at Kal Tire Place. “There is the potential for catastrophic failure and the loss of ice time (at Civic Arena),” she said in defence of the decision to pursue a new ice sheet. As part of the process of determining needs for the museum and gallery, representatives from the Canadian Conservation Institute recently reviewed current conditions at both facilities. Based on the inspection, the CCI will develop a report with recommendations. “We want to understand the current risk to our public collection and how to address those right now,” said Tannis Nelson, GVAC’s community development co-ordinator. “We also want them to identify what is needed for new facilities to protect our collection.” The CCI’s findings will be incorporated into Greater Vernon’s cultural plan.

Stakeholders are presently involved in the development of the cultural plan and there will be a public open house Sept. 27 at the Village Green Centre. “We will provide the vision and fundamental direction and we will look for feedback,” said Nelson. “There will be a graffiti board to allow people to be creative with their ideas.” The draft plan is broken down into four categories: cultural leadership, cultural capacity, cultural places and spaces and cultural narratives. Discussions among elected officials have largely revolved around the role of local government in promoting the arts. “We have to decide to what level we provide something? How much do we expect the groups to participate?” said director Jim Garlick. “We are the controller of the public purse. We don’t want it to have a never-ending bottom,” added director Maria Besso.

Cherryville residents will get some input on contentious logging plans, but the project may still move ahead. B.C. Timber Sales, which ia a government agency, has indicated that development of a logging road on part of Cherry Ridge is temporarily on hold so more discussions can be held with residents. “They have selected a low bidder but they won’t start construction until they resolve this sensitive matter,” said Eugene Foisy, Cherryville director, after talking to BCTS officials. The ridge consists of steep slopes and there’s a concern clearcut logging could lead to slides, and place homes, Hanson Park and the school at risk. About 110 people attended a recent rally to demand BCTS not proceed with the road until there is a downstream assessment done. The Cherry Ridge Management Committee, which operates a community forest, wants to see the area identified selectively logged instead of clearcut. BCTS’ public input process will occur through a questionnaire to residents. “They want to ask people why there is a concern,” said Foisy. Foisy has also been told that BCTS will not put in a road as far as originally anticipated and one cutblock has been scrapped. However, while Foisy sees BCTS’ actions as positive, he insists there is a need for residents to remain vigilant because the agency has not abandoned plans for clearcutting altogether. “We’re on the right track,” he said, adding that he is hopeful the community’s interests will prevail. “We’ve got where we have because of pressure. The government doesn’t want to be seen as the bad guy.” In terms of a downstream assessment, the Regional District of North Okanagan is currently considering possible funding for that process.

Excellence candidates step forward cara brady

Morning Star Staff
Vernon Winter Carnival tradition continues with the introduction of the candidates for Queen Silver Star LV. “This year, we have seven lovely candidates who want to represent the North Okanagan as goodwill ambassadors,” said Cheryl Gareb, Queen Silver Star Excellence Program chairperson, during the event at the Schubert Centre. “The program has come a long way from when it started as a beauty pageant where the candidates had to model in swim suits to an excellence program where the emphasis is on talent, personality, community involvement and scholarship.” Queen Silver Star LIV Cheyenne Krog with Princess Paige Webster and Miss Congeniality Cassia Swartz were there to offer their support and encouragement to the participants as they begin the months of preparation leading to proclamation and coronation next February. Princess Simmy Sidhu was not able to attend. MLA Eric Foster sent his congratulations. “He said he knows you’ll all be wonderful,” said Gareb. She introduced the judges, who will be with the candidates in many of their activities and meet with them in two individual interviews. This year’s judges are Debbra Butler, Tawnya Cameron, Coleen Csakany, Cathy Davies and Galina Labun. “Without our judges and instructors, we couldn’t have this wonderful program,” said Gareb, a community volunteer who has seen daughters of friends involved in the excellence program. “This is a fabulous program for all young women and they get so much out of it. There are so many people involved in making it a success and we can still use the talents of anyone who is interested in volunteering.” This year’s instructors are: Olivia Robertson of Shuswap Okanagan Dance Academy — dance class and modeling class; Jack Gareb of The Schubert Centre — etiquette dinner; Deb White of Whitehouse Mortgages — financial awareness; Suzanne Roberts of Voila Hair Studio — hair care; Jennifer Ng of the Vernon Museum — history of the museum and history tour; Beki Held of VanatageOne Credit Union — interview skills; Tammy Holland of Merle Norman — make up and skin care; Dina of Excel Fitness — nutrition and fitness; and Heather Freeman of Toastmasters — speech craft.

Carnival congratulated the candidates. “I know you’ll have an amazing journey over the next several months and you, the present royalty, have done an excellent job of representing our city locally and provincially,” she said. “We thank our sponsors for Winter Carnival which runs Feb. 6-15, 2015 with the theme, Carnival of Rock and Roll.” Gareb went on to thank the Queen Silver Star Excellence Program committee members: Ricki Moore, vice-chair and class coordinator; Mark Van Wyk, treasurer; Kathy Morgan, secretary; Sue Slater, royalty, volunteer and fundraising coordinator; Dr. Sherry Price, judges/scholarship coordinator; Shannon Moore, Little Miss Winter Carnival and fashion show; Betty Anderson, speech competition coordinator; Lori Cary, talent show coordinator; and Gen James, proclamation coordinator. The sponsors spoke about their involvement with the program and Winter Carnival. “We love sponsoring this program and I was in the program myself and found it very beneficial,” said Sarah Blundell of City Furniture as she introduced Miss City
Furniture Rhiannon Wilson. Sue Dafoe, on behalf of Darleen Klymchuk of Johnston Meier Insurance introduced Miss Johnston Meier Insurance Hannah Vaz. “Kal Rotary has been involved with the program for 29 years. It’s a joy to see these girls become beautiful butterflies at the end,” said Betty Gallant as she presented Miss Kalamalka Rotary Alicia Hill-Turner. Kim Heizmann of Century 21 introduced Miss Kim Heizmann — Century 21 Julia Bargery. Dr. Chris Spooner of Paradigm Naturopathic Medicine said, “This is an important opportunity for young women to grow and excel.” He presented Miss Paradigm Naturopathic Medicine Meighan Kerr. Dr. Craig Goplen, representing Silver Star Rotary, said the club has been involved with the program for many years. “We think it’s such a great thing. We watch the girls blossom.” He presented Miss Silver Star Rotary Alyssa Cooke. “We’re so excited to be part of this program in our first year of sponsoring a candidate even though we have participated in
other ways before,” said Suzanne Roberts of Voila Hair Studio who introduced Miss Voila Hair Studio Shalynn Jacobsen. The candidates’ next formal public appearance will be the fashion show Dec. 7, with proclamation Feb. 5 and coronation Feb. 6. For more information or to volunteer, call Gareb at 250-558-9656.

Lavington trail encouraged The problem with this project, is there are a number of land acquisitions that would need to be made. “It (gas tax) is available to do the work, the land it’s not available for,” said Garlick. Austin says she has already spoken to Tolko, which has not only offered its land but even offered to supply workers and equipment to work on the portion of the trail. She also pointed to the recently constructed Kidston pathway. “I think it would be fabulous if Lavington has one too.” But that project took a lot longer to come to life. “The Kidston path was really about a six-year project,” said Coun. Richard Enns. “There was a different problem with every single section. But it all started how you’ve started it.”
Austin also requested that Coldstream consider purchasing a 103-acre property for sale above Whisper Ridge for $395,000. “This property already has an extensive trail system,” she said. “It would be a great acquisition.” Garlick pointed out that if such a purchase were to be made, it would be subject to a borrowing referendum. “We don’t have the cash on hand. It’s got to be agreed upon by the majority of voters.” Lavington Recreation is a group which was formed approximately three years ago with a need for kids programming in the area. “I wanted to start a soccer program for kids in Lavington,” said Austin. “ We started out with about 45 kids and last year we had 102 kids register.”
Cause of house fire unknown richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Officials are trying to determine the cause of a Vernon house fire. Firefighters were called to an abandoned house in the 2800 block of 30th Avenue just before 12:30 a.m. Friday. “The fire was smouldering in one corner of the house,” said Jack Blair, Vernon deputy fire chief. “We’re trying to see if there is a relationship between this and the other (rash of suspicious) fires. We’re not
sure if there were transients in the building.” The RCMP are involved in the investigation. The house was boarded up and it was the scene of a fire in
June. The June fire was likely the result of transients being in the building. The City of Vernon has the authority to ask a property owner to
secure or even demolish an abandoned structure that has been damaged by fire, but Blair isn’t sure if that may occur in this case. “We do that on a lot of occasions,” he said. Family Owned & Operated

Janice Snell jumped into the passenger seat of her PT Cruiser, grabbed the keys from the ignition and had almost closed the driver’s side door when she was stopped in her tracks. A burly man carrying a sawed off shotgun held the door open, and got inside. “Give me the keys. Give me the car,” he said, twice, she told the court Thursday. “He wasn’t shouting.. he was demanding, but soft spoken.” To both questions she said “no” and even went so far as to gently nudge the gunman in the direction of the door. The keys, she said, were tucked under her leg. The strangely bold act of defiance didn’t end badly, all things considered. The man, who was identified in court as Michael Ellis, merely got out of Snell’s car and back into the minivan. Two others who were with Ellis – a man and a woman – also disappeared at that time. Snell said she wasn’t sure who in the trio was driving, although she presumed
it was Ellis. Not long after that stop around 20 kilometres south of Lake Okanagan Resort, he’s alleged to have car-jacked a different person, more successfully. Crown Counsel has brought a number of witnesses to the stand to attest to their view of Ellis and his two accomplices on the wild July 31, 2012 ride that started in West Kelowna, moved down Westside Road and ended in a shootout with police near Vernon. Between flaggers, fellow motorists, pedestrians and firefighters, it seems that dozens of eyes got a bird’s eye view of one of the most high stakes police chases ever to have played out in the valley. And, as each of them offers their account, Ellis sits in the prisoner’s box, sipping water and listening to their memories, seemingly without much interest. When Snell identified Ellis as the man who got into her car, he almost nodded a greeting to her. One witness, however, seemed to get a less friendly reception. Savana Hoover was a flagger on the day of the chase, and offered her recollection
of events on Thursday. She testified that she was given notice of a minivan speeding down the road, near the fire site she was watching with several other flaggers. She got orders to get off the road, so she did. From there, she saw the minivan pause, before speeding by. She had a brief, but apparently lasting view of a man she identified as Ellis. “That’s the part that scared me,” she said. “He glared at me like he was looking through me.” His expression, she said, was completely blank. When questioned about how she could be sure that it was Ellis, she explained the memory is very much alive in her head. “When an image plays over and over, you get a good look at it,” she told the court. Hoover left the witness box after a brief cross examination. Ellis is facing more than 20 charges, including five counts of attempted murder, several counts of robbery and weapons offences.

Greater Vernon residents are being dropped off a reminder to be thankful for their bounty and to share with those who are less fortunate. The B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive is scheduled to be making collection rounds Sept. 20 for the third annual event. Volunteers will be dropping off Save-On-Foods grocery bags to the doors of as many homes in the Greater Vernon area as possible this week that will include a flyer with instructions. “The Vernon food bank, which has been operated by the Salvation Army since the 1980’s, is a vital part of our community and currently provides food to upwards of 900 people per month,” said Uriah Kane, volunteer co-ordinator. Their needs are growing in these uncertain economic times, particularly in September with the unknown start of the school year, and December with the financial challenges of the holiday season. “The food bank is entirely dependent upon the generosity of community donors and volunteers, who gather, sort and stock the food that is provided to those who qualify for support.” So the community is urged to fill their bags prior to volunteers coming around between 9 a.m. and noon on Saturday to pick up the food donations. “This year’s initiative is hoping to collect 14,000 pounds of food for Vernon’s Salvation Army Food Bank,” said Kane. The massive initiative is only possible with the help of volunteers and donors. Residents are asked to give

Where was I again?
’ve been accused of being absent-minded before, in fact my brother used to call me ‘professor’ because I was kind of engrossed in my own thoughts and out of it, plus I wore glasses. At least I think that’s why he called me that. Or maybe just because I was just so darn smart. Likely not. Anyway lately it’s getting a bit out of hand. It’s like I can’t concentrate long enough to get the thing done that I originally intended to do. Yeah, I know the joke, I could never get a job at a frozen juice factory, you know, a lack of concentration.....for concentrated orange juice, ah forget about it. Like I was saying, ahem, I seem to be forgetting where I’m going or what I’m doing lately and it’s beginning to be a cause for concern. Although I Glenn Mitchell guess if I’m noticing I’m doing it I guess I’m still OK. Not sure. Here’s a couple of examples. The other day I had to leave work to go pick up one of the kids for his ortho appointment. I dutifully jumped in the truck, headed towards the exit onto 25th Avenue (luckily the only one) and caught a break as it was not busy and quickly turned left and headed into town. It was all good, except for one thing. My house, and the kid I was supposed to pick up, was back the other way. That would’ve been a right turn out of the parking lot. Aaaaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhh. It was like I was skipping a key step and heading to the ortho office first. Of course you always feel foolish when you do this kind of thing and curse a little (or maybe more) and do your best to find a turnaround spot that’s not very obvious, even though no one knows you screwed up, or cares for that matter. Now I can blame this one on being in a hurry, as usual, because I leave things too late, and it was a busy day and all (you know us high-powered executives can’t be expected to make the right decision all the time, ahem) but wait until I tell you about the next incident.

You see, I’m a list guy. First thing I do in the a.m. at work is write down a list of what I hope to accomplish that day. Some easy, some not so easy but must be done and some are what I would call more like goals. Nevertheless I take great delight in crossing things off this list as the day progresses so I have some feeling of accomplishment and not to forget what I still need to do to earn my daily keep, so to speak. Anyway, bottom line, I’m lost without it. And, of course, being 54 and old school this list is written by hand, in ink, on a reporter-notebook style (with coils) lined paper. Occasionally I circle items for importance or urgency and it’s pretty much my road map (or GPS if you prefer) for the day. So, if, and when it goes missing there’s a bit of a problem and there’s no backup system or Houston to call in case of emergency. Like last Wednesday (gee maybe I was just having a bad day, I should check my horoscope or something), when around 3 p.m. the little piece of 4” X 8” paper went AWOL. I looked in the usual places. Under the pile of papers in my 14” X 8” daytimer, in the middle of that same pile, in a few other piles on my desk (I know, I know, I have a clutter issue) and even in the piles on the counter behind my desk – all to no avail. I was lost, not to mention wondering how something could disappear into thin air on my watch. And, of course, we won’t even get into spending at least 15 minutes of my day fruitlessly looking for something that I had somehow misplaced. I eventually gave up, did my best to remember what was left on the list and went home fretting about forgetting something important that I had neglected to do. Of course, I found it the next day. I had flipped the page to write a note to myself sometime during the day, I guess, and so the page with my list on it was tucked in underneath the front of the notebook, you know exactly how these things are supposed to work. Gee, never thought to look there. Duh. Let’s hope this Wednesday goes a little better.
Sunday marks a 34-year-old tradition which has seen people across the country taking steps towards Terry Fox’s dream. “Even if I don’t finish, we need others to continue,” said Fox, who started his Marathon of Hope in April 1980 but by September had stopped running as his cancer had spread to his lungs. “It’s got to keep going without me.” The strides Fox made, artificial leg and all, are an inspiration. And his country has carried on his efforts to raise funds for cancer research. Local residents can do their part by running, walking and/or making a donation today at Coldstream Park, where the five-kilometre run starts at 9 a.m. (following registration at 8 a.m.). His efforts are also aided and celebrated by millions of students and educators on the National School Run Day, Sept. 24. But with the current labour dispute showing no end in sight, that may not take place in B.C. It’s unfortunate considering the thousands of dollars young children raise for the cause by collecting pledges for their run. It will also mean many children (particularly the younger ones) will not have the opportunity to learn about what Terry Fox did, since the schools have for decades done an exceptional job of incorporating him into lesson plans. The good news is that students and teachers can still make a difference by participating in today’s event. And hopefully the lessons about Fox will continue in the schools soon enough. Fox died in June 1981, but his legacy must live on forever.

I just want to go to school
s I write this letter, I am sitting in my school. My school that is one of my favourite places, is now strangely eerie with no kids, teenagers, or teachers inside. The sight of the countless empty halls and classrooms makes me feel abandoned by all of the leaders. Leaders who I thought were supposed to be looking out for me. Those leaders say they care but actions speak louder than words, and their actions scream, “Students are expendable.” In Canada, we pride ourselves on our systems of government, education, health, and standards of living. Why are you not living up to your responsibilities to provide our education? B.C. students are being held hostage during negotiations. When students have a con-
money trouble Recently we have been reading many entries in the letters to the editor concerning the current dispute between the government and the B.C. Teachers Federation. The BCTF is referred to as if it were dictating to the teachers what they should do. The BCTF is a collective representing teachers' interests. It is made up of teachers who have been elected by their colleagues to represent them as a collective group. They do not dictate to the membership what they should do. In my 30-plus years of teaching, I attended many meetings of the BCTF as a representative of Vernon teachers. The BCTF is a professional organization made up of well educated, intelligent people who are there to represent the best interests of the members. The current attitude of the critics who write to the paper seem to miss the point of what is really happening in our society. When one analyzes the criticism, it basically all comes down to money. This is actually only a reflection of the current trend in society where the final arbiter of
flict, they do not get to leave the principals' office until it is resolved. Once resolved they continue to do their job, go to school and learn. Our leaders, who are our role models, are not doing a very good job. They are acting like arguing children by not coming to an agreement. Their behaviour reflects poorly on themselves, it turns them into hypocrites. They are all acting the complete opposite way they teach us to act. The strike and why it is happening can be confusing. We, the students, want an education. We want to go to school. Stop treating us like a bargaining chip in your negotiations. The sooner our leaders live up to their responsibilities, the sooner we can exercise our right to learn. A student
most decisions is money. Unfortunately, this will be the demise of our western society as we know it. Do you remember the riots in New York? The Occupy movement was just the tip of the iceberg of unrest that is building in western society. Our so called free democratic society is being dominated and manipulated by money. Our so called free elections are no longer free because the party with the largest advertising budget can flood the airwaves with propaganda and influence the results. The person who pays the piper calls the tune. As a society, we seem to have become obsessed with money and that has overridden the human values that so often are held up as the shining light of our society. We need to set out our priorities in a clearer fashion and be sure that they are in the correct order for the long-term survival of the human society in which we have such a personal interest. r. David Atkins holD the line This letter is in response to Bjorn Meyer. Thank you to Mr. Meyer for a most informative, well
researched letter concerning the B.C. Teachers Federation and the teachers' strike. When I read your letter, I was delighted that you go back to the days of W.A.C. Bennett. Bennett insisted on paying off our provincial debt and he did. Unlike today, our provincial debt is huge — $65 to $70 billion and growing. And the BCTF and teachers are asking for more? The teachers claim they are on strike for the children's sake, and yes, they would appreciate a raise. I wonder if the teachers accepted, for the children, smaller-sized classrooms and extra help from aids for learning assistance with no increase in salary or benefits, would they? Ten years ago, I retired from a health care facility, working mostly part-time for 20 years. I had no choice but to join the union. During that period of time, there were a few strikes strongly encouraged by the union. After a time, the union and Mr. Campbell, the then-premier, encouraged the staff to settle. In housekeeping, my salary was $16.73 per hour, plus $4 per hour for benefits. Most of the staff were
happy with those wages. But a strike was called for by the powers-that-be in the union. Long story short, the union settled with the government for a $3 per hour less wage cut plus 15 minutes a day added on to our eight hour shifts, unpaid. The moral of this story is to be thankful for what you have. You are very fortunate with your wages, benefits, pensions and holiday time with your own children. I for one want the government to hold the line. Be thankful and let the children praise you for doing what you love to do, teach children by example. r. ellen Condrat fAith restoreD My thanks goes out to all of the people who aided my brother Aug. 1 at Ellison Provincial Park in Vernon. He collapsed as a result of very high blood sugar levels due to diabetes. Thank you to all of the caring, compassionate people who stayed at his side. Thanks to the trained, efficient paramedics who arrived at the scene.
I am grateful to Vernon Jubilee Hospital's competent and caring medical staff. My brother was released from hospital Aug. 4. A huge thank you. Pauline horrock

B.C.’s auditor general for local government is behind schedule in probing several municipalities and won’t table their audits until early 2015, after the November municipal elections. Basia Ruta had set an original target of Jordan Bateman this past spring to complete audits on either operational procurement or policing budget and contract oversight for 18 municipalities, including Delta, Vernon, West Vancouver, Surrey, Victoria and New Westminster. Just two reports have been finished by Ruta’s office – one focusing on an untendered contract in Rossland and the other on general municipal procurement. Ruta said the work is taking longer than anticipated and it would T:4” be inappropriate to release any audits of
individual cities this fall during local campaigns, noting that’s not done by federal or provincial auditors-general either. “You really need to respect the democratic process and the reports are not to be perceived to be biasing judgment,” she said. “I find that ridiculous,” said Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. director Jordan Bateman. “What better time to give the public information than in an election when they can act upon it in an expeditious manner?” Bateman said he’s disappointed with the delays and said it appears Ruta’s two-year-old office bit off more than it could chew in terms of the number of audits pursued. Ruta said many outstanding audits are still awaiting comment from local municipalities before they can be finalized. She said she also wanted a range of municipalities of different size and representing different regions analyzed in parallel to ease comparisons between them and to improve the overall results.

Armstrong educates candidates roger knox
“We’re not getting into the nitty gritty of what the issues are.”
Morning Star Staff
It’s kind of like Council 101. The City of Armstrong will host an informational workshop on what it’s like to be on council for anybody interested in taking out nomination papers and considering running for either the mayor’s chair or a council seat for the Nov. 15 municipal election. The workshop will be held on Monday at 7 p.m. at city hall. “It’s for people who might be considering running for office but aren’t familiar with what it means to hold a public office,” said Armstrong’s chief administrative officer Melinda Stickney. “We just wanted to make it an opportunity for people to get a better understanding of what it is to hold a seat on council, what the time commitment is, what decisions you make, and the type of meetings they would be attending.”
— Melina Stickney
The idea to host a pre-filing workshop came from a Local Government Management Association of B.C. meeting Stickney attended. She said she spoke to a fellow CAO of a small community who hosted successful workshops prior to papers being filed. Stickney said the city has hosted similar type of workshops in the past but only after nomination papers had been filed. The upcoming workshop is to simply cover the basics of being on council. “We’re not getting into the nitty gritty of what the issues are,” said Stickney. “That’s not the purpose. We’ll give an

Treatment for Chronic Foot Pain Available in Kelowna
P
ain in the feet is one of the most debilitating injuries we can be plagued with; it is felt in the arch of the foot (Plantar Fasciitis), the heel (Plantar Fasciitis or heel spur) or at the back of the ankle (Achilles Tendonitis). Unfortunately, we continuously use our feet, which makes healing from related injuries very difficult.
success, it gives up and healing stops. Shockwave Therapy breaks up scar tissue, restoring the function of the muscle and promoting new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. In fact, in a double blind study published in Journal of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society, 90%of patients suffering from heel and arch pain showed significant improvements with Shockwave. Furthermore, Shockwave Therapy (developed to break up kidney stones) has success rates of between 77%-91% in the treatment of other soft tissue conditions. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.
DR. RYAN HARRIS Glenmore Chiropractic
Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury affecting the fibrous tissue that forms the arch. Heel spurs can form when the fascia tears at the heel attachment and results in pain in the center of the heel. Achilles Tendonitis is irritation of the Achilles where the calf muscle meets the heel and can result in pain in the calf, the Achilles, or the back of the heel. The inflammation from overuse leads to pain as well as deposits of scar tissue, further inflaming the area each time the Achilles or plantar fascia are used. After the body has tried for weeks or months to heal the injury with no

Coldstream will install a raised crosswalk on School Road at the south side of Lavington Elementary in an effort to slow motorists down. There were plans to install a pedestrian-operated flashing crossing light, at a cost of $15,000. Whereas one raised crosswalk costs $6,000. One politician, who lives in Lavington, insists that Doug Dirk raised crosswalks work much better. “When I go by Kal Beach and it’s busy, it backs traffic up and the same thing will happen here,” said Coun. Doug Dirk. “I’ve got some personal experiences with raised tables and they work quite well. You can go over it comfortably at that speed (school zone is 30 km an hour) but if you go over it any more than that then you’ve got a problem.”
Safety concerns arise in Oyama kevin parnell Black Press
A Lake Country councillor says he’s unhappy with a Band-Aid solution to a change in an intersection at the corner of Pelmewash Parkway and Oyama Road. Owen Dickie says the change from a four-way stop at the intersection to a two-way stop with traffic along Pelmewash Parkway having a through road is a safety concern. “This certainly appears to be a significant safety risk in our community,” said Dickie. “As well, I feel the highway had evolved into a

division of our community which the highway relocation and the four-way intersection was beginning to correct.” Dickie and Ministry of Transportation officials met at the site of the intersection to discuss matters late last month but the Oyama ward councillor says the province is going ahead with the changes despite his concerns. In a letter to Dickie, the ministry said it will be installing speed reader boards north- and southbound on Pelmewash approaching Oyama Road, while zebra crosswalk warnings are going to be installed on Pelmewash on north and south crossings of the parkway. Dickie says while he did meet with the ministry and was told that the district was consulted before the change, he says it appears the decision had already been made, despite local concerns. “The engineer repeatedly referred to respecting local input but it was more than obvious that the decision had been made and there were no plans to reverse it,” said Dickie. “I am hopeful that the public concerns have been noticed and I will continue to work towards returning to a four-way stop.”

Long awaited housing developing A Coldstream townhouse project that has been in the works for years is finally closer to breaking ground. There are plans to subdivide a single Clerke Road lot into three lots, in order to accommodate four-unit row housing on the two new lots. The property currently has a five-unit apartment building (the former CKAL radio station building) on the middle lot. “It is my intent to get it going right away since right away was five years ago and it’s taken this long,” said applicant B.J. Illingby. Zoning changes are in the works to accommodate the proposal, but have taken some time to develop. Meanwhile a neighbouring Clerke Road resident questions the change. “Once we change this zone anything can go in there,” said Al Luther. Another concern is parking, which there is none of on Clerke Road, said Luther. “There is going to be two parking stalls per unit provided,” said Illingby. The bylaw still requires final adoption.

Vipers win short overtime TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
The two coaches looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and said, “Game on.” The Vernon Vipers edged the Prince George Spruce Kings 4-3 in overtime during B.C. Hockey League exhibition play Friday night at Kal Tire Place. Normally, if exhibition games are tied after regulation, the game ends. The 300 fans in attendance were treated to a little free hockey, all of 13 seconds of it. Thomas Aldworth brought the puck into the Spruce Kings’ zone, missed the net and the puck rattled around to Luke Voltin. Voltin could have drove a mack truck through the centre of the ice, walking in on net and beating Kings’ netminder Jesse Jenks over the shoulder. “I thought we fared very well,” said Vipers’ captain Riley Guenther. “We gave up a three-goal lead but we got it done in OT and that’s all that matters.” The Vipers moved to 3-1 in the exhibition season with their final preseason game going Saturday night against the Spruce Kings at the Prince George Coliseum. The Vipers seemed to have this game by the gills, leading 3-0 part way into the second period. One of the 16 new Vipers and local product, Blaine Caton, bagged a beauty on a shorthanded break. “Linden (Hora) got the puck, chipped it out and we were off. I’m not sure how he slid the puck to me on the two-on-one, but he did, and I put it five-hole,” TYLER LOWEY/MORNING STAR said Caton. T.J Dumonceaux (centre) drives to the net with Jordan Low draped all over him as Caton has impressed the coaching staff while the puck bounces over Prince George Spruce Kings’ netminder Jesse Jenks. playing with longtime friend Jagger Williamson. “Jagger and I have been playing together since Bantam.

With the regular season right around the corner, the Vipers “I got them out for precautionary reasons.

Knights drop opener 11-0 Morning Star Staff
It wasn’t the season opener that new head coach Jim Armstrong was dreaming of. The Osoyoos Coyotes pounded the North Okanagan Knights 11-0 in their Kootenay International Junior Hockey League opener Friday night at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. “It’s a tough start to the year but it is only game one,” said Armstrong. The Knights trailed 3-0 following the opening frame. “It wasn’t the start we wanted,” said Armstrong. “I thought we looked nervous in the first. “I thought Collin Robin played a great game. He was a leader on the ice and the bench.” The Coyotes downed the Knights in five games in the playoffs last spring including a 10-0 drubbing in Game 4. “We just need to put it behind us and refocus. We are going to do some team building activities and practise. We can’t reflect on this too much,” said Armstrong. It was all hands on deck for the Coyotes as they outshot the Knights 45-19. Rainer Glimpel scored a pair as nine other Coyotes found their way onto the scoresheet. Vernon product Brett Jewell supplied a goal. “I thought that Mitch Profeit played well in the first. If it wasn’t for him, it could have easily been seven or eight nothing in the first,” said Armstrong. The Knights are still searching for their first win since March and were outscored 10-2 in the exhibition season. Profeit made 14 saves on 19 shots and was yanked in the second period for Brady Lenardon. The Knights host the Golden Rockets today at 3 p.m. The Rockets doubled up the Princeton Posse 4-2 Friday night in Princeton. Several Vernon products have had a strong start to their season. Cole Woodliffe sniped a goal and two helpers as his Summerland Steam smoked the Kelowna Chiefs 6-2 Friday night at Summerland Arena. Hayden Chase racked up five penalty minutes with the Beaver Valley Nitehawks in their 3-3 draw with the Nelson Leafs. The 100 Mile House Wranglers clipped the Grand Forks Border Bruins 4-2 in the other KIJHL game Friday night.

Vipers in good hands
ho’s going to be the next head coach of the Vernon Vipers? If I pocketed a toonie for every time I was asked that, I could buy shares in the new Las Vegas NHL team. The BCHL Vipers are receiving e-mailed resumes every 10 minutes and owner Duncan Wray is conducting interviews by phone from his primary home in Victoria and preparing a shortlist. Or is he simply going through the process to see who’s out there and waiting for Mark Ferner to leave the Kamloops Blazers as an associate coach with Don Hay? Ferner, if you just moved here, guided the Snakes to three straight Royal Bank Cup appearances, winning two titles and losing 2-1 in the final of the third try. Some say the Vipers would have won the RBC on home ice if Ferner was at the helm and not the much younger Jason Williamson, who had served under Ferner. Maybe, but Williamson, who has a great eye for talent and pulled off some excellent trades, somehow got the Vipers past the highly favoured Penticton Vees in the Interior Conference final. In Game 7 on the road. Pretty impressive. It wasn’t Williamson’s fault his No. 1 goalie, Austin Smith, had his worst first period of the season, in a semifinal loss to the eventual champion Yorkton Terriers. This would have been Willy’s year to prove he was worthy of the job. Through solid recruiting and some luck – Thomas Aldworth – landed here after confusing Langley with Vernon, the Vipers are young, but skilled. Reaching the playoffs was realistic and would have
taken some superior coaching by Willy. Williamson, who owns a teacher’s degree from Niagara University in New York State, will take time to get his personal life sorted out. I hope somebody gives him another chance down the road. In the meantime, Wray has the luxury of talented 25-year-old Kevin Kraus and Kevin Mitchell ex-NHLer Eric Godard running the show. From all reports, Kraus did a fabulous 70-hour a week job as head coach/GM of the Revelstoke Grizzlies for two years. Kraus and Godard, who practised daily with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin for more than two years in Pittsburgh, are both head coaching material, but must pay their dues. Whether it’s Ferner coming home or somebody else with a five-star background, the Vipers are in good shape.
BETWEEN THE LINES
Bestwick to scout for St. Louis
Longtime BCHL coach Bill Bestwick announced one week he was running for Mayor of Nanaimo. The next week, he accepted a position as an amateur scout for the St. Louis Blues. “My duties in this capacity commence immediately and I welcome this challenge and opportunity working for the St. Louis Blues,” an email from Bestwick to local media read. Bestwick said he was approached by Blues’ pro scout Tony Feltrin about his interest in entering professional hockey’s scouting world. Feltrin played Junior A hockey in Nanaimo and later joined the
WHL Victoria Cougars. He was a Ranger draft who lost an eye on New Year’s Eve, 1985 playing for the New Haven Nighthawks. Bestwick will scout players in the WHL’s B.C. and U.S. divisions in the league’s Western Conference, along with the B.C. Hockey League. Bestwick, who played hockey for two years at the now defunct St. Louis University, was released last December in his second year as head coach of the Victoria Grizzlies. He previously coached the Nanaimo Clippers for 14 seasons.
Former Vernon policeman hired
Kamloops’ former police chief Yves Lacasse, who was an RCMP member and Midget Rep coach for several years in Vernon, has been named the WHL’s security officer, a volunteer position established this season. The WHL’s description of his job: “Lacasse will conduct internal reviews and investigations on behalf of the WHL office to ensure WHL Clubs are operating in accordance with league standards and regulations. Mr. Lacasse will also be responsible to facilitate the implementation of a new league-wide security program with all WHL clubs.” Lacasse was appointed to the position on Sept. 9. “Our kids today have changed,” Lacasse told Kamloops This Week. “We’re dealing with a new generation and it’s important to be connected to our youth and have someone they can talk to. “We want to have someone in place in every WHL community, whether it be a serving police officer or retired police officer. We want to identify individuals in their community that will be good leaders and mentors for the kids.”

new people come out and try the game, hopefully like it, and join a league,” said Merklinger. Merklinger, a world-class ice maker and stellar curler, will join former world junior champions Brad and Ryan Kuhn, and veteran Brier shotmaker Jim Cotter in teaching a free clinic next weekend. There will be an open house next Sunday from noon until 4 p.m. with newbies urged to show up and throw a few rocks. Brooms will be supplied. “We’re hoping to have a new family league Sunday afternoons from 1-3 for just $5,” said Merklinger. “We’d like to see grandparents playing with their grandchildren. We’ll be supplying free half-hour lessons.” There is also going to be a Saturday 6 p.m. adult drop-in program for $10, including free instruction and a senior men’s drop-in Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 a.m. The regular men’s and women’s leagues are filling up fast with the men’s Tuesday nighter up to 28 rinks from 24 last season. The ladies play Wednesday nights and Tuesday and Thursday matinees. The senior competitive league returns for Friday morning action, while the Friday night mixed circuit goes at 6:30. The stick league for those with bad backs or knees will go Wednesday at 9 a.m. Cotter and Merklinger, along with Cotter’s sister, Chelan Geistlinger, will run the junior program Mondays from 3:30-5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m.-noon.

Blokker, born and raised in Holland, started the club in 1992 after moving here from Prince George. “I was determined to start a club,” said Blokker. “With some help, we got going. Our first ice time was one hour Monday morning at 6 a.m. and we are still here with decent ice times and a great bunch of young skaters.” Blokker has skated in the Master division all over Canada and Europe. He was second in his 75-79 age class in a 2011 race. “We are a parent-run club so we get lots of help,” said Hall. “We had 15 skaters last year. Our youngest is nine and oldest is Peter. We get a cross section, from skaters who are quite serious and want to pursue the Olympics to some who use it as cross training and a little bit of fitness.” The Vortex season runs until mid March with four or five competitive meets. The Vernon meet goes Oct. 18 at Kal Tire Place. Visit the club’s web site at: www.vernonspeedskatingclub.com or check them out on Facebook.

They have an extraordinary coaching staff, two prime ice times a week and plenty of room for new members. Former Canadian Olympian Michael Hall enters his third season as head coach of the Vernon Speed Skating Club Vortex and urges athletes of all ages to try on the long blades. “It’s a family-oriented club,” said Hall, 44. “The idea is to get the kids out on the ice, get some exercise and have fun. We can take them as far as they want to go. For anybody who wants to take is serious, we have the resources to help.” Hall was ranked ninth and finished 22nd in the 5,000-metre event at the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Games in Norway. “I was sent over without a coach and I made some tactical errors, some rookie mistakes,” chuckled Hall, born in Kamsack, Sask. and raised in Regina. Hall was named to Team Saskatchewan as a teenager and claimed a bronze medal in the 3,000 and 5,000 races at the Canadian Junior. He made Team Canada in 1993. A year later, he set national records in the 5,000 and 10,000, while skating the 12th fastest world time in the 5,000. He previously coached in Salmon Arm, where he works as an investment specialist, and is excited about the future of the Vernon club. First registration and skate goes Tuesday, 5:15 p.m. at Priest Valley Arena. The Vortex also train Thursdays at 7 p.m. Skate rentals are $100 for the season. “It works out to about $2 an hour to be a member so it’s quite affordable,” said Hall. “Anybody who has a little bit of balance can pick it up.” Trevor Rasmussen is club president and also coaches along with club founder Peter Blokker, who still competes in Masters. Tony Benn has come on board as an assistant coach. Rasmussen has 26 years of competitive experience, including seven national-age class championship appearances with a bronze medal in the 3,000. He spent five years training at the Calgary Olympic Oval, where former club skater Connie Kapak will be working out this year. “The national team is wide open so there is a great opportunity

District tackles flooding Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Coldstream is taking steps to steer flood waters away from homes. Three times since 2010, a “raging river,” as one resident describes, has been seen flowing down Kalamalka Road from rapid snow melt off fields while the ground is still frozen. “The sheer volume of water that we’re dealing with is absolutely massive,” said Michael Baker, director of engineering services. Several homes between Aberdeen Road and Wisbey Drive have been at risk of Maria Besso flooding, therefore attention to the problem has been raised. Staff have looked at various control methods, but for the short-term a section of sidewalk along Kalamalka Road will be removed to allow storm and flood water to enter Skobalski Creek via the Sato property. “Trying to develop a system to capture melting snow like that is very difficult to do,” said Trevor Seibel, chief administrative officer. There is some possibility for retention facilities in the area where the flooding is originating, in the Grey Road area off Highway 6. And such long-term solutions will be looked at. “There’s more we can do but I think for now this is something,” said Coun. Maria Besso. Mayor Jim Garlick also suggests speaking with Coldstream Ranch to see if there is anything that can be done to mitigate the problem. It’s anticipated that a February melt could again take place. Tennis troubles Parks restructuring has served Coldstream with an under-funded project from the Regional District of North Okanagan. Plans to reconstruct the Kalview tennis courts were in the plans prior to the regional transfer of parks. As a result Coldstream was handed the originally budgeted $90,000 to complete the project. But the latest tender has come in way over budget at $154,863.
The courts are in rough shape and need to be reconstructed, therefore staff recommended taking $50,000 from the road maintenance program and reducing the scope of the contract to cover the cost. But Coun. Doug Dirk says that is unacceptable: “If we’re taking money out of the roads for tennis courts I can’t support that.” Coldstream is going to approach the RDNO about the situation to see if additional funds can be found. It will be re-discussed at Monday’s Committee of the Whole meeting. “You don’t have a hope in hell of getting more money out of it (RDNO),” warned Dirk. One option being re-considered for the courts is an acrylic surface worth approximately $15,000. “It’s a truer bounce, is basically what they (tennis players) are saying,” said Michael Baker, director of engineering services. But it does not extend the lifespan of the surface. “If anything you are probably replacing that surface sooner than you would an asphalt surface,” said Baker. Rivers Day support trickles in A community event aimed at generating public interest in B.C.’s waterways has collected some support. The Allan Brooks Nature Society, along with the City of Vernon and Regional District of North Okanagan, will celebrate B.C. Rivers Day Sunday, Sept. 28 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Polson Park. “The intention is to have fun family activities as well as education and live music,” said organizer Janice Buick. Coldstream agreed to support the event with $250 and attendance by Mayor Jim Garlick, after such a request was recently made to council. But the society was reminded that there is a formal process for gaining municipal support, which is in the fall so donations can be budgeted for. “The problem is there a lot of worthwhile causes,” said Coun. Maria Besso. Coun. Doug Dirk, who opposed the monetary support, maintains that there is a process for such requests and fears setting a precedent. “We could have people come each week for a lot of good initiatives and we don’t want to open the door to that.”
Construction remains steady Morning Star Staff
New homes continue to be built throughout Vernon. There were 19 housing starts in August compared to 22 during the same month in 2013. “The trend in housing starts for both single-detached and multiples was relatively unchanged, reflecting stable demand for new homes,” said Sarena Teakles, with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Of the 19 starts, there were 14 singledetached units and five multiple units. Year-to-date, there have been 132 units of
all types constructed in Vernon. That is compared to 129 units during the first eight months of 2013.

Watson House showcases region Tyler lowey Morning Star Staff
A new business is trying to promote other businesses in the Greater Vernon Area. Vernon’s Best Business Showcase opens its doors to local businesses Saturday at the Watson House, where the old visitors information centre was located next to the army camp. “We have quite a few great businesses here in town that people don’t know about. I want to help promote some of the best that Vernon has to offer,” said Barbra Moore, owner of Vernon’s Best Business Showcase. The house will display various businesses through retail items, brochures and signs. Experienced salesmen will operate the displays when companies cannot attend. Moore already has plans for florists, farmers, local produce, maple syrup vendors, realtors and jewelers to set up shop Saturday. “I think this will be a great opportunity for tourists or people new to Vernon to give them a chance to learn what we have going on here,” said Moore.
Spots are filling up quickly. Companies sign on for one year, with an option to renew for up to three years and display their businesses on a monthly basis. The business is open all week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and features monthly specials, holiday themes and live music promoting local bands. Maps of Vernon will be on display, along with MapQuest on the Internet to help locate the businesses. To celebrate the opening, Mike Biden will be on hand for a book signing with his fifth book, Jewel of the Okanagan. There will also be kettle corn sold on the first two days, with all funds raised going to the breakfast club at Kidston Elementary Saturday and Mission Hill school Sunday. Vernon’s Best will also raise awareness for non-profit schizophrenia agencies and mental health. Moore moved to Vernon two years ago and has been a nurse for 11 years. A few years back, she owned tyler lowey/morning star a similar type of business in Port Barbra Moore has launched Vernon’s Best Business Showcase at the Watson House on Highway 97 south. Perry, Ont.
City nominated for award Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon has been named one of the finalists for the 2014 Open for Business Awards, which recognize communities that support small business through local-government measures aligned with the B.C. Small Business Accord. “I think that the fact that we have been nominated in consecutive years for the Open for Business Awards demonstrates the efforts that our administration has put toward initiatives that assist and supKevin Poole port business,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. “I congratulate council for providing that direction for our administration.” The applications are evaluated based on how the communities enhance small-business competitiveness, recognize the contributions of small businesses to the community, and promote the principles of the B.C. Small Business Accord. The roundtable noted the 2014 applications are the strongest to date. “It is nice to be recognized by the province of
B.C. and the B.C. Small Business Roundtable as a finalist for the Open for Business Awards for the second year in a row,” said Kevin Poole, the city’s economic development officer. “We’re very proud of our innovate initiatives such as the creation of an economic development planner position to handle commercial applications, or being the first community in B.C. to participate in the B.C. Business Counts Business Retention and Expansion program, or our partnership with the Regional District of North Okanagan in creating a searchable employment lands inventory. There is always room for improvement, but we are definitely making progress and are on the right track.” Along with Vernon, the roundtable named Delta, Grand Forks, Kelowna, Langley, Nelson, Parksville, Port Coquitlam, Revelstoke, Salmon Arm, Smithers, Surrey and Whistler. To promote an open-for-business culture, the provincial government is providing awards of $10,000 to each winning community to support the implementation of measures that benefit small business. Winners will be announced Sept. 24 at the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference in Whistler.

Slimmons celebrate 65 years Norman and Eileen Slimmon were married Sept. 23, 1949 in Fillmore, Sask. Norman was born Oct. 22, 1927 in Stoughton, Sask. Eileen was born March 20, 1930 in Regina, Sask. Both were from large families, and Eileen is the only surviving member of her family. Norman worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway, so the family moved around a fair amount in Saskatchewan. They lived in the section house alongside the railroad so the moving was no problem in that belongings would be loaded onto a boxcar for transportation. Their marriage has been blessed with three children: Donald, born in Biggar, Sask., lived in 24 places before graduating high school and currently lives in Oliver, B.C.; Rosemary was born in Fillmore but is sadly deceased; Geraldine was born in Estevan, Sask. and now lives in Regina. Norman and Eileen have also been blessed with eight

Vernon residents Norman and Eileen Slimmon were married Sept. 23, 1949 in Fillmore, Sask. grandchildren and 18 greatgrandchildren. Eileen worked at a variety of jobs, including the cafe at the Regina General Hospital and Sears, while at the same time raising the family. After 18 years at the CPR, Norman decided to try something different and went to
work for Crown Lumber in Regina. The couple moved to Vernon in 2005 to retire and stay warm. This past summer, they enjoyed a trip in their SUV to Saskatchewan to visit family and friends. Asked the secret to the longevity of their marriage, Norman replied, “Don’t put
yourself first and try to do things together.” To celebrate Norman and Eileen’s 65th wedding anniversary, there will be a gathering for friends and family at the place they frequent, The Pantry, 3908-32nd St., on Sept. 20 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. for refreshments and appetizers.
Home is the place to be
esterday I spoke with my neighbor Helen, who recently suffered a heart attack with other complications and was hospitalized for several weeks. She is feeling a lot better and slowly getting back on her feet. Our discussion focused on how important it is to both of us, and many other seniors we know, to stay in our own home as Pat Black long as possible and what we can do to make this happen. Helen had good support from Interior Health both medically and in supporting her wishes to stay in her home when she was released from hospital. A worker came in three times a day to heat up and serve prepared meals and to make sure she took her meds as she should and to assist her in other ways until she could manage on her own. Helen, a widow without kids, is also lucky to be well-supported with friends and volunteers from an active church to which she belongs. It is hard I am sure for some very well meaning and caring folks to understand the importance of staying in our own home as we age. They see danger and
the possibility of accidents as we are less physically able to care for ourselves. And the reality is, folks, that most of us as we age are less and less able to do the things we once could. But that does not mean we stop trying to be as independent as possible or that we have the diminished ability to think and cope and function as well as we can. Most of us have spent a lifetime learning to cope and adjust and this is just another phase to experience. With all the physical aids available there has never been a better time to stay at home and continue being part of life and our community. Walkers, mobility aids, HandyDart services, regular buses equipped with lifts, are all there if we learn to use them and see them as vital assists to remaining mobile and involved. senior centres like the Schubert Centre and the Halina Centre offer a myriad of activities and the opportunity to socialize if you want to do this. You can even call up a grocery store and have your groceries chosen and delivered to you free or at a minimum cost if you need this service. But there are many services that can help you remain independent and functioning at home, just have a look at a very important book available at www.NorthOkanaganSeniorsDirectory.
ca for services that are free or affordable and range from a “Before You Hire Checklist” to Eye Care, Food and Groceries, Gardening and Yard, Housekeeping, Moving Services, Snow Removal and many other services. If you do not have access to a computer you can pick up a printed copy of this directory from the Seniors Service office at Nexus, 3201- 30th St., just a few doors from the Access Centre. When it is physically impossible to remain at home, either from dementia or mobility issues, we have to bow to the inevitable, but to all those well meaning friends and relatives in the meantime try to understand that your primary values of safety and security in an institution may not be the most important things to many seniors who would rather live out their days, no matter how precarious, in their well beloved and valued surroundings, no matter how humble or challenging they may be. Assisting your elders to stay at home can be the greatest gift you can give them no matter how reluctant you may feel. You know how you value your independence. Try to realize that just because we are ageing doesn’t mean that our desire for independence is diminishing. If you have any questions or comments e-mail blackmail1@telus.net or call 250 542-7928.

Students’ exposure to electronic waves is raising some concern. The Citizens for Safe Technology has asked the North OkanaganShuswap School District that one school at each level (elementary, middle and secondary) be designated a Wi-Fi free school with only hard wired technology. The second is that the district hold a public forum to further understand the issues around electrosensitivity. Trustees will consider the information and make a decision on the group’s requests at an upcoming meeting.

Aboriginal rights to water likely supersede those of water licence holders and municipalities need to negotiate what this means before the issue ends up in court. This was the big take away from the Okanagan Basin Water Board annual general meeting where municipal lawyer and Hakai professor in environ-

clear, whether it has been said by a court or not,” said Curran. “So, what does the modern day water allocation look like? Well, obviously, First Nations have aboriginal rights for domestic use. The question of further than that depends on the history of that nation and, if questioned, those rights would take precedence over all other water licences that have been issued in British Columbia.” The act does not address aboriginal title specifically. However, given the Tsilhqot’in decision, which awarded 1,700-square-kilometres of traditional lands outside the Tsilhqot’in reserve in Central B.C. to the First Nation, she believes court precedent on land claims with sufficient evidence is now set. Curran’s talk stressed the need to jump into negotiations with First Nations locally and generally adopt a seize-theday approach to planning for water rather than waiting for conflict with the province and court down the line. Under the new water legislation, water is a “use right” not a “property right,” she added. As such, a water licence gives the holder the right to draw a given amount until the province determines supply is not sufficient. There is no compensation for the licence holder if the supply dries up. This had the president of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association, Fred Steele, very concerned. “If we had a severe drought situation where the ministry told agriculture it had to drop its crop to the ground, you are saying there would be no avenue for compensation?” he asked. Yes, she told him, quickly adding she doubts officials would target farmers when household water consumption is so high. Urban water use is really the “low-lying fruit” for conservation efforts in her view.

News Board approves Ghana trip
EyE On ThE Ball
Morning Star Staff
With an Ebola outbreak in parts of Africa, the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District board has given approval in principle to a proposed student trip to Ghana in March. The trip, which includes building a school, is part of Me to We’s efforts of youth making a difference in the world.
Director of instruction Wendy Woodhurst, one of the trip organizers, says there are already 15 students who are interested in going on the trip and who have started fundraising. “Hopefully school will soon be back in and we can see if there are others who would like to join in,” adds Woodhurst.

Bad timing
D
ear Annie: I am a 21-year-old college student. I have found someone I am really close to and would love to have a relationship with. The problem is, she is already in a relationship with someone else. We worked together for two years and became best friends. Unfortunately, she left the job to focus on school. We still talk, and I always ask myself whether I should tell her how I truly feel and risk tarnishing the friendship. Should I just be happy the way things are? — Trouble in the Ville Dear Trouble: It is bad form to go after someone who is already attached. So Kathy mitchell & marcysugar our recommendation is to leave things alone and enjoy the friendship. However, should she break up with her boyfriend, that would be an OK time to express your feelings. You already understand that she may not feel the same way and the friendship could suffer as a result, but if you are both unattached, you may as well give it a try. You never know. Dear Annie: I have recently attended a number of excessively long weddings. They begin with the ceremony, followed by an extended cocktail hour while the bridal party takes pictures, followed by dinner and then dancing. Even if we leave right after dinner is served, we’ve spent at least six hours at these events. While I am excited to celebrate with the bride and groom, this is a lot to ask of a guest. I try to be patient, but by the end of the evening, I’m usually frustrated by what feels like indifference to the guests’ enjoyment. Are there rules that wedding planners could use when arranging the festivities? — Jay Dear Jay: Wedding planners can only advise the bride and groom, and the best ones will keep the couple apprised of the timing. Couples who take photographs before the ceremony begins can shave an hour or more off the time, but some traditions keep couples from seeing each other until they walk down the aisle. The bottom line is, the couple may want the festivities to last through the night, but you are not obligated to stay. If that means you leave before dinner is served, so be it. Dear Annie: I have yet one more perspective on why someone might let oneself be fat. I have long realized that not only did I not want to be ogled by men, but I was also trying to increase my substance in the world. Always feeling small and insignificant, I felt I needed to “have some weight to throw around.” I was never abused, but I always felt shy, passed over and unimportant. I wanted to feel “bigger.” I couldn’t get taller, so I increased my body size. I felt better as I got bigger. I liked it. But I do realize that I should go to therapy to find another way to achieve those feelings. — Big Girl

On one of her many cycling adventures through the North Okanagan, Moira McColl makes her way through the Swan Lake Nature Reserve.
Cycling around Swan Lake Moira Mccoll Special to The Morning Star
Our favourite cycling days are ones with warm sunny weather and great scenery. We love to take time to explore interesting sites and visit inviting cafes and eateries. Sure the route could be done in one sweaty hour, but we prefer to savour the experience, taking two or three hours. And there is no place better than the North Okanagan for such indulgent and interesting cycling! At 7:30 in the morning, when the air is still cool, we lather ourselves with sun screen, don our sunglasses, bike gloves and helmets and make sure our water bottles are full. With a copy of Greater Vernon Map Book and Guide and Greater Vernon Hiking and Biking Routes tucked in our pannier bag, we pedal east along Okanagan Landing Road, turning on 41st Avenue to 30th Street, then on to Alexis Park Drive and onto Old Kamloops Road. The road is smooth but the shoulder is very narrow. We are careful to stay as far to the right as we can and the cars pass us safely. Not far from town we spot a sign for Swan Lake Nature Reserve Park and turn off just beside Stawn’s, a local honey
farm, then ride down a short gravel road. Raptors watch us from above as we bike along a pathway through waving grasses that reach higher than us, stopping to read the information signs. We learn that Swan Lake has a rich history and these wetlands continue to be an important mecca for nesting and migrating birds as well as reptiles, amphibians and small mammals. It is a fabulous birding site especially in the spring and fall. Back on Old Kamloops Road we pass Headbones Gallery, open to the public noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday. It is a private gallery of contemporary art, its experimental art as vibrant and captivating as the views from its hillside location. Continuing along Swan Lake we gaze at the pastoral scene surrounding the still lake, then turn east of Highway 97, staying on the wide shoulder and out of the way of the fast traffic. At Highland Road we turn right heading to Swan Lake Nurseryland but the sign “open showroom” at Kekuli Bay Cabinetry/Huber’s Furniture catches our eye. We head upstairs to admire state-of-the-art kitchen cabinets and look through the window to watch furniture being made on site. Just down the road we stop at Swan
Lake Nurseryland for coffee and a snack. We walk past the overflowing bins of local cherries and apricots, and the boxes of strawberries and raspberries, through the funky gift shop to the café. I spy the homemade apple pies for $8.99, but reason such a purchase would not travel well via bike. We get a coffee and herbal tea and share a huge triple-berry biscuit for $4.80 and sit in the café that overlooks the north end of Swan Lake. Returning to Highway 97, we cross under the over pass and ride up the bike path on the east side of the highway, connecting with Pleasant Valley Road. The undulating road is punctuated with welcomed shade and we are soon pedaling down Silver Star Road turning left on 20th Avenue and following the bike lane to 43rd Avenue, eventually finding our way back to Okanagan Landing Avenue. It’s been 30 km and a wonderful three hours of local exploration! Editor’s note: Moira McColl is a freelance writer and cycling enthusiast in Vernon. This is the first in her six-part Urban Wanderer series on cycling in the area, with the hope that it will encourage locals and visitors alike to explore the North Okanagan on two wheels.

‘I care’ makes the difference
here are many ways to make a connection with someone and I have been struck this week with two very different scenarios around relationships. Over the past week I have been researching tele-health medicine for children with mental health and substance use services. In the course of that I read a literature review from UBC, newsletters, articles, reports, etc. I am very impressed with the potential to provide specialist and physician support to rural and rural remote areas through this technology. Many people love living in rural remote areas and this is important to them and to our province. My first experience living in B.C. was as a 15-yearold working in Radium Hot Springs. To get anything at that time we had to drive to Invermere or beyond; for serious medical support it would be to Cranbrook. Take this further to even more rural or remote communities and the drive or transportation pathways are longer, more time-consuming and expensive. My experience was a long time ago and many smaller rural communities have lost their medical cen-
tres due to centralization, or had the services provided drastically reduced, or in many cases some services are never available. We need our rural communities for the numerous benefits they provide including agricultural, natural resources and recreation to name a few. In the 21st century, with a good bandwidth connection, we can move into the remote areas and receive many services online. The tele-medicine can bring a physician and specialist to the community who works with the local physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, clinicians to provide assessment and followup support. There are tremendous options here and it is just going to get better for all types of medical and social issues. In a discussion this week with a northern service provider I learned that youth respond very favourably to the tele-health
support as they are very comfortable with the technology and able to build a relationship and connection with the specialist. They enjoy not having to leave home or school to go to a medical appointment, deal with the family stress or expense. It feels normal. One of the studies identified that when tele-health support was provided in schools it also had favourable results. (UBC medical literature review). So this leads to my other scenario and a discussion around zero-tolerance for students who are caught drinking or using drugs being kicked off their sports teams, drama groups, bands, etc. and suspended from school. I personally think suspension or kicking off teams is not the answer. When a friend of mine’s son was suspended she brought him to work and he did grunt labour jobs because staying at home watching TV or being on the computer was not a discipline, it was a holiday. It was the only time he was suspended. The McCreary report talks about protective factors for youth and the importance of students with substance use issues staying connected to schools. As
a parent and someone who has spent a career working with youth and families I heartily agree. I agree with having codes of behaviour, expectations, and I think we have to look at options beyond removal. High school teacher and coach Mr. D mentored boys after school who were on the edge whom he saw had some basic level of athletic potential and sensed a need to belong. As a teacher and coach he worked hard with them, believed in them and gave the boys opportunities to play basketball, football and wrestling they wouldn’t otherwise have experienced. I’m sure they came to school stoned sometimes, but less and less as they built a relationship with him and his good favour was important to them. I saw kids who might have dropped out of school, walk taller, be part of a team and experience that important connection of belonging in their high school years and graduate. Mr. D was tough, he was a yeller, demanding, and cared deeply, and he involved families. He never kicked a kid off a team; they might wash all the sports equipment, sit on the bench, do extra training but letting

them out of his sphere of influence was not an option. I asked him why. Sports had kept him in school when he too wanted to drop out of it, he was that kid who had an alcoholic father, felt he had few options, and a teacher made a difference. So much so that he became a teacher and a coach. It was all about the relationship. How we create those spheres of influence and relationships are changing, but the fundamental core is still the same. I care.

Hurray!
I have thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the time, care, advice and encouragement I have received from Paul and this program. I am just in the door from a 1 hour walk/run around the Cedar Hill Golf Course. It makes me almost giddy to say that, since 6 months ago I was fatigued by a walk around ½ the course or less. I have indeed embraced exercise and look forward to a variety of ways to be active every day. I am exercising at least 5 days a week for 60 min a day. I have joined a walking group and a Zumba dance class. I am looking to starting a Jazzercise class in September. I am at the halfway point in my weight loss plan (lost 20 lbs) and am happy to have returned to Weight Watchers. It feels wonderful to be fit and getting fitter. Paul (Active Choices Coach) you were and are an inspiration as well as an excellent role model for healthy aging.

Wrestler Mick Foley to perform in Vernon Tyler lowey Morning Star Staff
The man of three faces brings his wit, wisdom, wildness and warmth to the stage in Vernon. Mick Foley brings his one-man show, Hardcore Legend: An Evening With Mick Foley, to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Thursday at 7:30 p.m. “It’s a wrestling talk show. I’m absolutely sure that people will leave with a smile on their face,” said the Hardcore Legend. The show is for all ages, but Foley still delves into stories of some of his most iconic matches for all the Hardcore fans out there. “The show is great. It’s like being in the ring, there’s going to be a lot of laughter with a little emotion to it,” said Foley. “It is a blend of new and old stories that are accessible for everyone.” Former World Wrestling Entertainment announcer Jim Ross once called Foley, “Unbelievably indestructible,” for all the punishment he could absorb while finishing matches with a blood-soaked, toothless smile. The three-time World Wrestling Federation champion will hold a question and answer period along with a meet and greet after the show. “Sometimes the best stories happen in the q and a,” joked Foley. Foley is the retired wrestlers’ renaissance man. He has authored 10 books, four memoirs and four children’s books, occasionally done some voice acting and has toured the land doing comedy shows. He is thoroughly enjoying his time away from getting beaten with steel chairs and being set on fire. “The shows are a great time and it doesn’t matter if they go bad, there is no way I can
A
h, I feel like my summer is complete. I managed to spend a few of summer’s hottest days on the beach, logged more than two full weeks of camping, learned how to solve Sudoku puzzles, neglected my lawn until it was brown and drought-stricken, found myself within 20 feet of a bear, and even had a garage sale. I do declare that I’m ready for September. I’m a person who thrives on routine, and that’s what September represents for me. Getting back into the swing of things is what this month is all about – at least if you’re among those who are in some way synchronized to or affected by the (regular) school year. Despite those younger folks being
end up in the emergency room,” laughed Foley. The hellacious characters of Cactus Jack and Mankind are scheduled to make appearances on stage. Foley doesn’t have any roles for Dude Love, but you never know when he will emerge. “That’s actually my favourite part of the show, having those characters out,” said Foley. Although unlikely to happen in Vernon, Foley has welcomed current and former wrestlers on stage for an added element to his show. Years after his retirement, Foley is still a dedicated wrestling fan. “I still sit down once a week and watch. There’s a lot of good things happening in the WWE. “I like guys like Damien Sandow, former members of The Sheild (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns) and Cesaro.” Now living in Long Island, Foley’s wrestling days are far behind him. At 49 and a week after successful back surgery, he promises, “I will be prowling the stage cat-like.” So instead of falling off 16-foot steel cages or getting DDT’d into a pile of tacks, Foley embarks on a film career while he continues with the tours. Later this year he plans to start filming a few TV projects, and a documentary about the people who dedicate themselves as Santa Claus ambassadors airs this November. As for the flannel cut-offs, Foley has somewhat steered away from them for now. “I’m doing this thing where I have to wear Santa Claus-themed clothes for a year. The flannels will be out, but it will incorporate a Santa look,” said Foley. Tickets are available through the Ticket Seller by calling 549-SHOW (7469).

The F Word
allace, (Daniel Radcliffe) is a medical school dropout who has been unlucky in love so far in his young life. Chantry (Zoe Kazan) is an animator who is perfectly happy in her relationship with her boyfriend Ben (Rafe Spall,) until work forces him to move to Europe. Wallace and Chantry have decided to be “just friends” Taylor and Howe but with Ben out of the picture, things get complicated. We say, it’s When Harry met Sally for a new
Reel RevieWs
generation, but not as good. TAYLOR: However, it’s still a pretty good film. It’s not nearly as grown up, cerebral or neurotic as When Harry met Sally, but it also doesn’t star a Jewish New Yorker in his 40s. Call it more innocent if you like. The F-word (F refers to “friend,”) wants to address the proposed difficulties men have being friends with women, because they want to have sex with them and I presume can’t control themselves. While I feel this is preposterous, divorce rates remain high, and at least 50 per cent of that blame must rest with men, so maybe it’s not. Let’s also remember that these characters are young and inexperienced in matters of love.

Film ticks along
Schell Shock Entertainment presents
A Gospel / Inspirational Concert with
“Adam Fitzpatrick” as
Mazatlan Orphanage Fundraiser
Saturday, Sept. 20, 2014
Continued from A32 HOWE: I thought it plodded along, going through the motions of yet another romantic comedy, with us already knowing the outcome at the end. You don’t have to see the movie or be a genius to figure that out. The whole point of this movie is meant to prove that men and women can have a platonic relationship, yet all Wallace wants to do is get into Chantry’s pantry. TAYLOR: Therein resides the only fault of the film, The F-word doesn’t really address platonic relationships, it’s just another film where a third wheel breaks up a couple. Really, it’s a film about monogamy issues, not friendship. However, the obligatory lesson of the film is kept contained to a very brief scene and the rest of it is quite enjoyable. Wallace and Chantry’s banter is fun and funny. “I spent a lot of time in the hospital when I was a kid.” “Oh, was that because of all your horrible disfigurements?” The film ticks along and caused me no boredom, eye rolls or annoyances. HOWE: I will agree with you on that, it did make me chuckle a couple of times. There is chemistry between the two main stars, but it’s Wallace’s friend Allan (Adam Driver) who steals the show for me with some of his remarks. This is the second Canadian film we have reviewed this week and this is by far the better of the two. — Taylor gives the F-word 3 sex nachos out of 5. — Howe gives it 3 deep fried pickles out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Live Well
HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist TOM NOLAN
By 2020, about 1 in 3 Canadians will be diabetic or prediabetic. If you haven’t been screened for diabetes and are over 40, check with your doctor. Diabetes can be prevented through lifestyle changes … weight-loss, better nutrition and exercise. As we age, our eyes sometimes don’t produce enough tears to keep the eye moist causing “dry eye syndrome”. This can also be caused by certain medications as well. It’s important to keep the eye surface moist. Talk to our pharmacists about this. We can check your medication list for possible drug causes and recommend a suitable moisturizing eye drop or ointment to help. Pharmacists are oftern asked for something to reduce heartburn. There are drugs available for this but often just making a few changes in your life might do the job. Avoid eating less than three hours before bed. Eat smaller meals. The more you eat, the longer it takes for the stomach to empty which can contribute to heartburn. To reduce heartburn, try to identify which foods cause it. Common culprits are tomatoes, garlic, milk, coffee, cola soft drinks and chocolate. You might try sleeping on a bit of an incline using a wedgeshaped cushion. Lastly, lose those extra pounds that could put more pressure on the stomach causing contents to move up the esophagus. If all this doesn’t reduce your heartburn, talk to our pharmacists. There are a number of products available without prescription that may help.

ECUADOR - Standing at the front of the canoe, our guide Miguel watches for movement along the Cuyabeno River. He points in turn at red-howler monkeys in tree-tops, a yellow toucan and a pair of harp eagles. My husband Rick and I are deep in the Amazon Basin, known locally as Amazonia. “Thirty million years ago,” says Miguel, “this whole area was under the ocean, hence its golden clay base is devoid of nutrients. The dense jungle vegetation is sustained by this black water that’s comprised of decayed plant matter collected along the way from the Andes the source of which is from where the basin’s waterways flow into the Amazon River.” Arriving at Jamu Lodge, our home for three nights, we settle into a thatched-roofed hut with walls open to the elements from chest level up. We look appreciatively at the mosquito net draping our bed. A lone electric light is to be used sparingly. Jamu is one of 11 Eco lodges along the Cuyabeno. A for anaconda tops my wildlife sighting list, specifically the green anaconda. These kings and queens of the jungle swim with ease in slow-moving rivers, often slithering up on to tree branches to sun themselves. The females are larger - reaching up to 30 feet in length and 500 pounds in weight, with girths of 12 inches. I mention my wish to Miguel, who says, “We can only hope.” After a fine supper, we canoe with fellow adventurers to Laguna Grande for a glorious sunset (and cooling) swim - trusting in Miguel’s words: “You are of no interest to the piranha, their sharp teeth have evolved to crack open hard seeds”. With the fall of dark-

ness the stars glitter like a city in the sky. The next morning, fitted with hefty rubber boots, it’s off for a jungle trek. As we maneuver through tangles of dense growth, Miguel warns, “Watch what you touch.” He taps a tree trunk and a frenzy of teeny ants appears. “These are called stripper ants, as if they transfer to your body, you’ll be ripping your clothes off.” He commences to share facts about nature’s pharmacy. Scraping bark off a camphor tree releases a familiar medicinal scent. A cut into another tree draws red sap - Sangre de dragon (Dragon Blood); used for healing internal infections and external wounds. It is said 70 per cent of medicines come from the Amazon rainforest. We later canoe to a river section where giant-sized trees sprout from the water – the perfect sunning place for snakes! We admire a boa constrictor twisting his lengthy body on a branch above our heads, sensing us with its flicking tongue. We slowly move around more trees; my fingers are crossed. But, alas, no anaconda. A night trek brings us a face-to-face encounter with the jungle’s most lively time, when most creatures hunt and feed. A concert of sounds
resonates – cicadas, crickets, frogs, toads and bats emit all manner of buzzing, tapping, croaking, and whirring. The following day we travel further down the river to visit a shaman of the Siona (one of five indigenous peoples). We are greeted by a smallish man with necklaces of shells and jaguar teeth, his cap the vivid colours of bird feathers. A bottle of Ayahuasca, a powerful hallucinogen, is passed around for us to inspect – molasses- coloured and putrid.
The shaman tells how the first response to drinking it is violent vomiting, a cleansing necessary to link the spiritual and physical worlds in order to aide those who ask for his help in ridding their bodies of evil forces. But for today the shaman will demonstrate a simple ritual to enhance good vibrations. He chooses Oliver from our group of ten, whose face pales as the shaman chants and swirls tobacco leaves around his head. You see, earlier Oliver con-
Sunwest Tours
fessed, “I told a few shaman jokes today, and do you think he’ll know?” ...we can’t be sure. On our canoe journey back out of the Amazon Basin, we see passengers in another canoe staring into the edging of thick foliage. Their driver whispers, “Anaconda.” My heart drums as my eyes fall on a green and yellowish pattern! Speculations are this young jungle queen is more than 6.5 feet long. I beam at Rick, “Now, is this not an A-plus ending!” Irene Butler is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Bridge by Phillip Alder OF THE CHOICES, WHICH IS RIGHT? Jennifer Hudson, an actress and singer, said, “Extreme exercise doesn’t save you from poor food choices.” All week we have been looking at deals in which the declarer or a defender wanted to make good play choices to maximize the chance of making or breaking a contract. Today’s deal seems to be another -but is it? Look at the North and East hands. After South opens one spade, he ends in four spades. West leads the heart ace, under which East encourages with his nine -- always signal as high as possible. West cashes his heart king and plays his third heart. What should East do after winning with
his queen? South, with such a weak six-card suit, might have raised to three clubs, but four spades would still have been the final contract. It was hard -- impossible? -to stop in three no-trump, which cannot be defeated. It is tempting for East to shift to a club at trick four. However, if East does that, South wins the trick, draws trumps and claims. East should pause and count up the high-card points. He has seven, there are 13 in the dummy, and West has already produced seven. That leaves 13 unaccounted for, but since South opened the bidding, surely he has the club ace-king, diamond ace and spade queen. So, from where might a fourth
Featured Retailers
defensive trick come? If the defenders have taken every possible sidesuit trick, they must try for a trump trick. Then, giving a ruff-and-sluff cannot cost and might gain. East must lead his last heart. When West ruffs with his spade nine, it effects an uppercut, generating a spade trick for East.

Democracy in youth urged
SU 10AN H M- OUR 3P S M
Morning Star Staff
Youth are being called on to play a greater role in energizing the country’s democracy as the one-year countdown to the next federal election approaches. “Our democracy needs young Canadians to be creative, to take action and to make their voices heard,” said Chief Electoral Officer Marc Mayrand. Maynard’s call for youth involvement coincides with Canada’s Democracy Week, an Elections Canada civic education initiative running from Sept. 15 to 21 under the theme “Democracy: Own it.” Building on the success of the past initiatives, which involved over 600 youth in 2013, Elections Canada has partnered again this year with other Canadian election agencies, universities and a dozen youth-focused organizations like CIVIX, Encounters with Canada and Forum for Young Canadians to deliver a program of events that reaches youth where they are – in their schools and in their communities. “In its fourth year, Canada’s Democracy Week celebrates young people’s role in our democracy. It’s about everyone – especially teachers, parents and parliamentarians – engaging young Canadians in meaningful discussions about politics and the workings of our democracy,” said Mayrand. Inviting youth to enter the National Democracy Challenge is one way to start the discussion. It offers young Canadians the opportunity to creatively express their views about democracy through a video, an image or a piece of writing. Prizes include trips to Ottawa, a laptop, a digital camera and an iPhone. Canada’s Democracy Week will also feature a series of events and activities across the country and various learning tools to help inform and educate the voters of tomorrow. Canada’s Democracy Week is built around the United Nations’ International Day of Democracy, celebrated worldwide on Sept. 15 of each year. Visit democracy-democratie.ca for more information about Canada’s Democracy Week, including educational resources and a calendar of events. Follow the initiative on Twitter at @democracyCA #demcda and on Facebook at facebook.com/canadasdemocracyweek.

C HECK I T O UT AT B OOKLAND GRAIN BRAIN COOKBOOK
Dr. David Perlmutter’s groundbreaking bestseller Grain Brain revolutionized the way we think about our health, exposing the devastating effects of wheat, sugar, and carbs on the brain and empowering us with new knowledge: By eating the right foods, you can profoundly affect how your brain will be working next year, in five years, and for the rest of your life. The Grain Brain Cookbook equips you to do just that, presenting more than 150 delectable recipes to keep your brain vibrant and your body fit, all while dramatically reducing your risk for - and treating - Alzheimer’s, depression, ADHD, and epilepsy, as well as relieving more common, everyday conditions like chronic headaches, insomnia, anxiety, and “senior moments” of forgetfulness.
