Hollywood eyes return to Enderby Rick Dugdale hopes to shoot movie starring Oscar winner Sir Anthony Hopkins in his hometown ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Rick Dugdale knows his hometown is perfect for his latest film project. The 1995 Enderby A.L. Fortune Secondary graduate and former George Street Video employee – where he memorized customers’ code numbers – heads up Enderby Entertainment, a Hollywood film production company whose logo incorporates the renowned Enderby Cliffs. Dugdale is working with Swedish director Daniel Alfredson and Jon Summerland, with the Okanagan Film Commission, to shoot Go With Me in Enderby and the North Okanagan. The film, which would star Oscar winner Sir Anthony Hopkins, is based on a best-selling book, set in a Vermont logging town, but the script sent to Dugdale’s company has it located in a small Oregon town. “When we read it, we knew this was a film we could shoot in the North Okanagan,” said Dugdale, 37, back home Thursday with Alfredson and Summerland scouting potential filming locations throughout the region. “We shoot all over the world but this script was so obvious it was the North Okanagan. We’ve definitely found some places to use in the film and we’re getting more and more comfortable here.” Added Summerland: “We’re happy with what we’ve seen so far. We’ve been through Lumby, Vernon, Enderby, and we’ll continue up to Grindrod then back down through to Vernon. After

Enderby native Rick Dugdale (from left), who heads up a Hollywood film production company, director Daniel Alfredson, Okanagan Film Commission’s Jon Summerland and Enderby Mayor Howie Cyr discuss the potential of shooting a big-budget movie, starring Oscar winner Sir Anthony Hopkins, in Enderby and the North Okanagan. we get Daniel’s vision of what he wants and what he doesn’t, we can send out more scouts for locations.” Alfredson directed the last two of the immensely popular Millennium trilogy movies shot in his native Sweden, The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest. His latest project – Kidnapping Freddy Heineken – details the story of the kidnapping of beer tycoon Alfred (Freddy) Heineken, which resulted in the largest ransom ever paid for an individual.
One of the stars of that picture is Hopkins, who won the 1992 Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of killer Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs. “We’re casting the rest of the roles,” said Dugdale, who would serve as the film’s producer. “There are four lead parts and we’re confident the rest of the cast will be of Hopkins’ level.” If all goes according to Dugdale’s plan, shooting in and around Enderby would start Nov. 10, and would last right up until Christmas. The film would have “a healthy

budget,” and would try to use local help for the picture. “Local crews, in this case, could be from the North Okanagan or they could be from the Okanagan region,” said Summerland. “We’ve already talked to people from Vernon, Kelowna, Summerland and a sound guy from Grindrod. It’s great for us to be looking at Okanagan crews. We’ll try to do things with as many local people as we can, then bring in what’s missing.” Alfredson, who arrived in Canada for the first time Wednesday night, chuckled when

asked if he was eager to start the project. “That’s a tricky question,” he said. “At least when you don’t start a movie you can change things. But what we’re doing right now is really, really important. We shift the pieces together, then put them together. We can match the story as good as we can. “When we start filming, it’s like a military exercise. As long as we’re doing this (scouting), we can be creative.” There is still a chance that the movie could be shot somewhere else, like the United States, due to economics. But Dugdale, whose mom, Louise, works at Enderby City Hall (“which would be perfect as the sheriff ’s office in the movie,” said Dugdale) and Summerland are hopeful to return to the North Okanagan. “A lot of these projects never come together like this one,” said Dugdale. “We always say it’s amazing movies get made because of all the roadblocks. But the team around this film – I play hockey and I always say you win championships by wearing the same jersey – that’s who we are as a company. We started to work with other partners and Daniel, and realized this is a championship team.” It was a year ago that Disney shot the movie Tomorrowland, starring Oscar winner George Clooney and Hugh Laurie, in Enderby and Spallumcheen. Enderby Mayor Howie Cyr is thrilled with the prospect of Hollywood returning to the city. “Jon works tirelessly on behalf of the film commission to bring these films to our region and we really do appreciate his work,” said Cyr. “Rick is a hometown boy who has always been supportive of our community, so to take the two of them together, it bodes well for our community. I’m very excited and grateful.” Tomorrowland is expected to be released in May, 2015.

Lodge houses 40 years of memories ROGER KNOX

Morning Star Staff
ryan Adams and David Suzuki have stayed there. Music legends Roger Hodgson (voice of Supertramp) and Gerry and the Pacemakers have played its ballrooms. Endless wedding receptions and banquets have been housed in the ballrooms as well. The courtyard, with its thousands of plants, once housed a stage where musical acts would entertain guests. Checkers Pub was once Lodge City Disco. BX Creek Bar and Grill was formerly Maynard’s. Speaking of BX Creek (BX-Swan Lake Creek is its formal name), its water still flows through the middle of the facility. And two large oversized chairs, one in the lobby, one in the courtyard, have played host to thousands upon thousands of photo opportunities. The Best Western Plus Vernon Lodge – commonly known as The Lodge – turns 40 this year. Built on the site of the old Vernon Lodge, a heritage style structure, the current hotel was the idea of Maynard and Colleen Vollan of Edmonton. They purchased the property in 1973 and built the new hotel in 1974, incorporating the neighbouring creek into the design. “It was Maynard’s idea to build over the creek,” said Colleen, who still resides in Vernon. “Originally, the hotel was very stark inside with very few plants. But the creek was very visible.” The creek, naturally, would play havoc with some of the entertainment in what is now the courtyard area. Once, the stage started disappearing into the creek because of flooding. Another entertainer was performing when one of the palm trees beside him disappeared into the fast flowing waters. “He got off the stage in a hurry,” laughed Vollan. The hotel always had a nightclub and with its ability to house

Susie Kosenko (from left), Tracey Kiss, Laurell Cornell and Kathy Arychuk, standing on the bridge over BX-Swan Lake Creek, and among the many plants that decorate the hotel’s courtyard, are among the longtime employees at the Best Western Plus Vernon Lodge Hotel. lots of people, its restaurant, its banquet facilities and its dedicated staff, the Vernon Lodge Hotel was the “it” place to be, especially in the early 1980s. “There was always something going on,” said Vollan, who sold the hotel in 1989 to the current owners, RPB Hotels and Resorts. Today, there are still more than 100 rooms, three ballrooms, a pub, a restaurant and the courtyard, thousands of plants and the always topical creek. It’s difficult even to ballpark how many people have worked in some area of the Vernon Lodge
hotel since it opened in 1974. One thing is clear: those who land a job don’t often leave, and it’s mainly because of their coworkers. Here are a handful of current Lodge employees and their story: Susie Kosenko, 26 years, housekeeping: “I started as a housekeeper, moved to daytime cleaning, then went to laundry, where I am now full-time. Before that, I was a flag girl in Vernon. I was pretty well pounding the pavement dropping off resumés at hotels and motels. Deb Peebles was working the front desk at the
time. Rather than take my resumé, she told me to go right to housekeeping and talk to Martha Smith. She hired me on the spot. “I like the family atmosphere here. It’s been that way ever since I started.” Kathy Arychuk, 31 years, floor manager BX Creek Bar and Grill: “I was desperate for a job. My friend who worked here said go talk to Manuel. I came in. They called me two days before Christmas and asked me if I wanted to work Christmas Day, so my start day was Christmas. The people, the staff and the customers are the reasons I enjoy it here. “I’m winding down to retirement now but I probably won’t be able to go cold turkey. The hotel is my baby. I give 110 per cent every time I’m here. Funniest thing that happened here, some geese got into the hotel. I hate birds and they were flying around me. We had to phone the fish and game club to get them out.” Mike Brooks, 10 years, food and beverage manager: “I was working at the sister property, the Ramada in Kelowna. My wife was offered a job here. She was promoted to general manager here in Vernon and I got offered the job as food and beverage manager. The people I work with
are terrific. They’re a great team, work well together. Everybody cares about getting the right job done.” Laurell Cornell, two stints, current hotel sales manager: “I worked here throughout high school on-and-off as a banquet server and dishwasher, and I worked on the plants with my mom (Myrna Seefeldt). I started here again in Checkers (pub) in 2006. The Vernon Lodge has been the hub for so many different events. (Vernon Winter) Carnival every year, the B.C. Winter Games.” Tracey Kiss, 19.5 years, rooms division manager: “We had just moved here from Vancouver and I was looking for part-time work. I had worked for 15 years in hotels in Vancouver so I dropped off a resumé here. I got hired, then found out I was pregnant. I came over to the hotel after my ultrasound and told my boss I was pregnant and would understand if she didn’t want to hire me. They hired me knowing I was pregnant. “My three girls have all worked here at some point as bellmans or with banquets. For me, it’s always been about the people. I’ve had regular customers coming here since before I was hired. Some guests are very specific in the room types they want. Some really know the hotel and its layout and they’re specific in what rooms they want.”

It’s back to school Monday for teachers and students across British Columbia. B.C. Teachers’ Federation members voted 86 per cent in favour of a six-year agreement negotiated with the help of mediator Vince Ready this week. About three out of four of the province’s 40,000 teachers voted. “I’m happy with this deal,” said BCTF president Jim Iker. “It gives the province’s teachers raises totalling 7.25 per cent over six years, improvements to benefits and a fund to hire hundreds of new teach-

for the vote was higher than the union’s last two ratification votes. A total of 31,741 teachers cast ballots and 27,275 voted yes. Vernon Teachers’ Association president Heather Malcolm said this was a tough round of negotiations and a difficult time for striking teachers. “While this is not a perfect deal, we were able to push back the government and I think parents and the community now fully understand the real issues facing our public education system,” she said. “I hope that they and our trustees will continue to join us in improving the system.”

Teachers prep to welcome kids Continued from A4 Teachers were in the classroom Friday to prepare for students to start school on Monday. The Vernon School District will be opening the doors to students tomorrow for a half-day. “We will use our established routine of a shortened first day,” said district superintendent Joe Rogers. Students will be in attendance for the morning and buses will run three hours earlier than usual. “This process will allow schools to welcome their students, enroll new students and establish enrolment numbers to finalize staffing and any necessary addition of divisions or sections,” said Rogers. The remainder of the week will be full days and parents are advised to check their school’s website for specific details. New students should report to their catchment area school to register. And for the district’s newest learners, grad-
ual kindergarten entry involves meeting the teacher, small group orientation and shortened times to allow children and parents the best opportunity for a strong start. Gradual entry will be provided by each school Monday to Thursday. Kindergarten students will attend for the full day on Friday, which is also when busing will begin for the youngsters. As there have been a number of changes in bus stops and routes as the district enforces its 2.4 km walk limit, individual student schedules can be viewed on parent connect. Vernon School Board chairman Bill Turanski said he received many e-mails from both parents and teachers over the last few months wondering what trustees could do to help. “It’s a real sense of relief that we are finally moving forward because it seemed that for quite a period that nothing positive was happening and that really caused a lot of concern for me and the other trustees
and parents and we just didn’t know what action to take,” he said. “We are really anxious that somehow we’re going to make it a very positive and productive year for the students, even though they have lost three weeks. The ministry is not considering doing any other alterations to the school year so will have to work within the parameters we have. I think it’s going to be
most difficult at the secondary level.” In the North O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap School District, superintendent Glenn Borthistle said students there will also have a half day on Monday and gradual entry for kindergarten students. “This has been a challenging time for all involved in public education and our families,” he said.

Bond lays out blueprint for jobs Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
With an increasing number of residents heading up north or east for work, local employers are struggling to find skilled workers. Even though the former is becoming a norm, there is help on the way, according to B.C.’s labour minister. Shirley Bond, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for Labour, spoke to Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce members Thursday morning at the Village Green Hotel. She addressed the issues facing both workers and employers as she detailed the province’s skills plan, which includes jobs coming down the LNG (liquid natural gas) pipeline. “One thing I’ve hearing is people are increasingly moving up north to the oil patch to find jobs,” said chamber president Adrian Johnson. “Another thing I’m hearing is (employers) struggle to find people with the skill set here in Vernon. “So we have a mismatch.” In fact, one million jobs are going to need filling in B.C., twothirds of which are due to an aging population. Therefore Bond has created a “seamless” 10-year skills plan targeting against the job demands. “If there’s going to be jobs in the province we want our youth to be trained for them,” she said. A lot of that caters to LNG, which is a major factor in the province’s jobs plan, as well as economic benefits. “We are talking about trillions of dollars of benefit to British Columbia,” said Bond, noting nine projects that have received licenses and another 18 proposals. “We have the opportunity with LNG in B.C.
Jennifer Smith/morning Star
Labour Minister Shirley Bond chats over breakfast with Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce president Adrian Johnston Thursday morning at the Village Green Hotel. “That would generate 100,000 jobs in our province. “It’s not all about those steel-toed boots and hard hats, but it’s a lot.” The jobs plan also expands the number and type of people working in B.C. to those underrepresented such as First Nations, women and persons with disabilities. But the northern communities aren’t the
only ones benefitting. “Vernon has a critical role to play,” said Bond, as small businesses will be necessary for various needs such as accounting and stationary supplies, to name a couple. “This is not all about Terrace or Kitimat or Prince Rupert, it’s a lot about those areas... but the spinoff benefits are amazing for our entire province.” Small businesses are urged to connect
with LNG Buy B.C., an online tool connecting the project proponents with companies big and small across the province. As for the current situation of living in one place and working in another, Bond said like it or not that is becoming the norm. “There is criticism about fly-in, fly-out jobs but it’s a way of life for many people now.” The key, she said, is to make sure they keep coming back. “My goal is to make sure that they’re coming back this way to jobs in British Columbia.” Youth are urged to start early to prepare for their futures and Bond says the WorkBC website a great resource.

Privacy snatcher invasion
I
have made it devilishly hard for hackers to steal nude pictures of me off my computer -- by not taking any. It’s so much simpler than trying to remember a big, long password and trying to keep the photos private. “Even if you had nude pictures, no one in their right mind would hack them,” Sue said. “Every time we go through security at the airport I can hear the TSA people vomiting in the back room. They want to put you on the ‘no fly’ list so they don’t ever have to see Jim Mullen your cellulite again. It’s like you’re hoarding the stuff.” “Don’t you think that at the end of a long day, the TSA workers probably go home and look at pictures of fully dressed people? Who would be surprised to find out they have a stash of L.L. Bean catalogs under their mattresses? But then, maybe we’re the perverted ones. It seems that you and I are the only people on the planet who don’t have nude pictures of ourselves on our computers.” “Speak for yourself.” “What?” “Just kidding. I guess something’s wrong with us,” she said. “We’re always wearing clothes. All we’ve got is pictures of ourselves on vacation wearing clothes, in family pictures wearing clothes, at weddings, reunions and funerals, all the time wearing clothes. What were we thinking? If a funeral isn’t a good time to strip down and let it all hang out, when is?” “Me, I wonder why anyone would spend all that time trying to break into a celebrity’s computer to look at nude pictures when they could just hack a few bucks from someone’s Home Depot account and go to a Miley Cyrus concert. Hacking to find nude photos seems like a lot of work for a lot of nothing. What kind of people have that much free time? Inmates? Mental patients? Members of

Congress? But then, I repeat myself. “And it’s not as if they were selling the pictures,” I continued. “They passed them along for free. That’s the part that has the celebrities most upset, I’ll bet. No doubt they had planned to sell the pics themselves and give the money to charity.” “Remember when you used to have to send your film out to get it developed?” Sue asked. “Maybe that’s why there are so many nude pictures floating around. Now every phone is a camera. You have to wonder – how long will it be before every refrigerator is a camera? Every toaster? Every TV set? Every steering wheel? One day you’ll go downstairs to get a midnight snack and the next thing you know, there will be a picture of you on Facebook in your birthday suit.” She was painting a pretty horrible picture of the future. But she’s right – what came first, cat videos or cellphones with cameras? Now they make inexpensive cameras you can put on your cat. Or your teenager. Or your husband. They can put them on personal drones and catch you sunbathing in the backyard. Of course, so can Google Earth. I called a friend in another state once, and while we were talking, I zoomed in on his house from Google’s Street View and asked him whose gray car was sitting in his driveway. I read him the license plate number. I thought he was going to have a stroke. You would have thought I had just posted nude pictures of him on the Internet. “It’s just a car,” I said. “Your neighbors can see it; it’s not like it’s private. People can see you in it when you drive to the grocery store. What’s the big deal?” But it was a big deal to him: an invasion of his privacy, and I was the invader. The really odd thing is that I hadn’t seen this guy in 20 years. We met again on Facebook. He posts pictures of everything that happens in his family – every birthday, almost every meal. I wonder if it’s his privacy that I invaded, or his publicity. (Contact Jim Mullen at JimMullenBooks.com.)
Hollywood North? How about Hollywood North Okanagan? Word comes from Enderby that shooting on a major movie – with “a healthy budget,” said producer and Enderby native Rick Dugdale – could begin in Enderby and other North Okanagan locations as soon as Nov. 10. The movie, Go With Me, is based on a best-selling book that, in print, is set in a Vermont logging town. Dugdale, president of his own Hollywood production company, Enderby Entertainment, was given an adapted script which set the movie in Oregon. Reading the script, Dugdale realized immediately he could shoot the movie in his hometown and surrounding regions. Jon Summerland, of the Okanagan Film Commission film commission, agreed. Director Daniel Alfredson is signed on for the project. So is Oscar winner Sir Anthony Hopkins, and Dugdale said the movie has four lead parts with the other roles currently being cast. The actors, he said, are of the same level as Hopkins. Of course, it isn’t 100 per cent official yet that the movie will be shot in the North Okanagan, like Disney did in 2013 with Tomorrowland starring Oscar winner George Clooney and Hugh Laurie. It could move to the U.S. But the signs point toward Dugdale being able to capitalize on his hometown and, of course, that would be significant for the North Okanagan region in terms of exposure, film infrastructure, a boost for the local economy, and the chance for Okanagan Valley residents to land jobs on a major motion picture. The film would bring more kudos to the OFC, who continues to strive to bring such projects to our region.

A change for the better?
f it works, don't fix it is a good rule to follow in most, maybe all, areas of our lives. I think it should have been applied to our domestic recycling. I also think that the old blue bag system worked just fine. It was convenient and simple and less work. This new Emterra system is not so good. In the introductory pamphlet we received in May, we were ordered to have our boxes put out by 7 a.m. I comply and it's not an inconvenience for me as it is with some people. The recycling has been picked up at 3 p.m. and sometimes as late as 4 p.m. So why is 7 a.m. mandatory? Hmmm, maybe plastic paper and cardboard break down faster if they sit at the side of the road in all kinds of weather all day. Right, that makes sense. Pat Black, in her Morning Star column, wrote, "I am pretty upset about this as are many other seniors with disabilities forced to quit recycling after using the blue bag council concerns I most heartily agree with Paul Elmont's letter regarding the city council. I have felt for sometime now that too many of our councillors have been in office for far too long and have reached the stage of believing they are always right, regardless of public opinion. The best thing we need is to throw the lot of them out at the next election and don't re-elect any of them. We need new blood representing us and who will listen to the electors and act accordingly. Regarding the "new" tourist office: leaving my dentist the other day, I was confronted by a huge 5th wheel and three large house trailers in this very narrow street. There was so little room for any normal vehicles to pass that I almost had to climb on the sidewalk to allow them room. They were either looking for the tourist office or leaving it, if they had found it, that is. A letter in The Morning Star a few days earlier was from a visitor complaining bitterly that he couldn't find it anywhere and stating he wouldn't come back again. So much for council "planning." noel Tyler Thank you There was a near tragedy averted
system so successfully for many years." What I find offensive is that we have been manipulated. Our leaders know that over the years, we have learned the benefits of recycling and it has become a habit. We are victims of bait and switch. The rules have been changed in the middle of the
on the Labour Day long weekend in Vernon on Okanagan Lake by a Good Samaritan. Thanks to Mr. Connelly, who recently moved to Vernon from Alberta. In less than five minutes, my boat, with five occupants onboard, sank near Kin Bech. Luck has it that Mr. Connelly was skiing with his family in his new boat. He heard screams and whistles and then he plucked us from the water. I was the last one to get out, then it sank. Once on board Mr. Connelly's boat, the RCMP were alerted in Vernon with a 911 call. We were asked if we were OK. A comment was made from the RCMP that they would not attend. Then they said that they would call Vernon Search and Rescue and they would call back on my brother's cell phone. They never called back. I would also like to give thanks to Owen and Jessie. Later that evening, they recovered my boat that was partially submerged and they were able to tow it to shore at Kin Beach. There are some good citizens out there and again thanks to the efforts of Mr. Connelly. Dennis Frick and family
smoke anD mirrors Democracy is all about listening to the people. Justin Trudeau has heard what the majority of Canadians are saying about legalizing marijuana and is ready to act accordingly. Stephen Harper only listens to his conservative base, a dwindling minority of Canadians, and is determined to ignore reality in a crass attempt to garner campaign contributions. Trudeau wants to find a pragmatic solution for a modern-day problem. Harper wants to maintain an outdated unworkable punitive policy for partisan politics. Trudeau’s plan will generate government revenue, introduce quality control standards and undermine organized crime. Harper’s obstinate stand abets the underground drug economy, perpetuates the lack of product standards and guarantees organized crime’s cash flow. In a desperate attempt to obscure and distort Trudeau’s rational policy on marijuana, Harper has once again reached into the Conservative's tickle trunk of dirty tricks and pulled out their smoke screen generators and curved carnival mirrors. Please don’t be taken in by their tawdry sideshow. lloyd atkins
game. I now have to do a lot more sorting than before. The homeowner does more work so Emterra doesn't have to. Plastic wrap as used in toilet paper and paper towel packaging is not allowed so we must package it up and deliver it to a collection depot in our gas-guzzling car. It's not too good for the environment. This has me wondering. We can't put paperback novels in the recycling bins but phone books are OK. At first, I couldn't see the difference between paperback novels and paperback phone books. Then I started thinking that maybe numbers break down easier than words. Yup, that makes sense. So I don't like it and most people don't. Maybe we're stuck with it. One thing I know for sure is that we're not stuck with the people responsible for this whole thing. Paddy o'leary
scavenger hunT For several months, I worked on planning a motorcycle Scavenger Hunt, and with the help of some friends, enjoyed presenting this event in August. After all the work and time that went into the planning, and the hopes of raising a lot of money for the Vernon and District Animal Care Society, we were very disappointed that there was such a small turnout for this ride. However, those that did come out had a very good time and at the end of the ride added money to our donations bucket to show their gratitude for this good time. At the end of the day, money was raised to help the animals; fun was had by those who partook in the ride and those who put on the event. The animals will benefit, so it is a success. After a tie-breaking quiz, first prize (valued at $295) was presented to Nerissa Schibli, and second prize (valued at $165) was presented to Dave Schibli, both of Lumby. Cheques and cash are being presented to the Vernon & District Animal Care Society (VDACS). I would like to thank the sponsors for their kind and generous support of this Scavenger Hunt. Without their support and donations, we could not have called this a success. alice Price

YOU AND THE LAW WHAT B.C.’s NEW WILLS LAW MEANS FOR YOU © Janice Mucalov, LL.B. There have been some big changes in the law on wills and estates in B.C. The Wills, Estate and Succession Act (WESA) came into effect on March 31, 2014. WESA overhauls many of the rules about wills and what can happen with your estate – some of the new rules could affect you. Let’s start with this one. Remember the 1981 potboiler flick “Body Heat” starring Kathleen Turner and William Hurt? The plot turned in part on old wills rules. One old rule is that a will is generally revoked (cancelled) if the person who made it later marries. Many people don’t know or overlooked this old rule in B.C. Well, under the new WESA, marriage no longer cancels a will. So if you’ve made a will and then married after March 31, 2014, the will remains in effect.

estate” in the home, meaning the right to live there until he/she dies. WESA treats a couple who have lived together for two years in “a marriagelike relationship” (including same-sex couples) much the same as formally married couples. WESA also gives the courts more leeway to fix (validate) wills that don’t meet will-making technicalities, and to treat other records or documents as a will (that before would not have counted as one). This is meant to help carry out the wishes of the will-maker whenever his or her intent was clear (though it may increase the chance of disputes too, however). The existing right of a willmaker’s spouse or children to challenge a will in court because it doesn’t adequately look after them is the same as before.
Under the new law, you can also now make a will at the age of 16, instead of 19. Before, only a few “minors” could do that, like a legally married minor or a sailor.
Rules have also changed if you die without a will. For example, if all your children are yours and your spouse’s children, your spouse now gets the first $300,000 of your estate (not $65,000 as before). This drops to $150,000 if you have a child from previous relationships.
Given the dramatic changes to the rules, it’s now more important than ever to see a lawyer to review, create or modify your will – yet almost half of all adults in B.C. don’t have a proper will. A carefully drafted will is your best chance to ensure your assets are dealt with as you want, without exposing your loved ones to costly court visits or bitter disagreements.
And if you die without a will, your spouse now has the choice to buy the family home (or treat it as part of his/her share of your estate). This choice is only open for 180 days after you die. Under the previous law, your spouse received a “life
This primer only touches on a few highlights. The new law is complex and can be a bit of a mine-field. To make a will, do some estate planning, settle an estate or dispute a will, be sure to seek legal help.

The City of Vernon parks master plan public engagement process is gearing down after involving over 2,500 participants this summer. The city took over the management of local parks from RDNO at the beginning of 2014. The parks master plan is engaging Vernon residents to build a vision for these parks, including the park ambassador program that began in August, and uses local volunteers to monitor parks and trails over different times of the days and weeks. “Eight volunteers are taking note of everything from usage to cleanliness to how people interact, and making recommendations on how these parks and trails could be improved,” said Tanya Laing Gahr, the City of Vernon’s communications and grants coordinator. Based on park ambassador Garry Haas’ observations and informal chats with Girouard Park users, Haas has recommended general stream clean-up, installing a picnic table, paving the gravel path through the park, additional fencing and parking lot redesign. He is pleased with the existing maintenance levels in the park and believes local parks add value to Vernon. “I wanted to ensure that the future generations are able to enjoy the freedom of parks; to sit and think, watch nature and human kind, play with family and friends and think about their future,” said Haas. “The changes I suggest, and those in the parks master plan, all need to be done with fiscal responsibility; they could be phased over time and should ensure the parks are maintained in good condition for the future generations.” For more information on the parks master plan, please contact Cleo Corbett, long range planner, at 250-5507830 or check out the website: www.vernon. ca/parks.

Legion receives tax break After an impassioned plea from the Oyama Legion, Lake Country councilors went against a staff recommendation and have granted the legion a full tax exemption for the next five years. The legion had received a 50 per cent exemption last year but appeared at the Lake County council meeting Sept. 16 to ask for the full exemption, a move that would save the legion close to $1,500 dollars a year. Staff had recommended only the 50 per cent savings due to the fact the legion operates a pub. But legion house and bar manager Rob Nairne said the pub serves about 10 people per day with profits allowing the legion to continue to work on their charitable donations. “There seems to be a view that the legion is a bunch of old folks sitting around drinking too much,” said an emotional Nairne. “While we may have a veteran imbibe too much the odd time, we get him home safe because that’s what we do. We have taken an oath to serve our veterans and there is a huge need for services and assistance.” Housed in the Oyama Community Hall, membership in the Oyama Legion continues to be on the decline. This year membership is down 23 per cent, from 230 members in 2013 to 177 in 2014. One of the issues raised by staff was the legion is a pub and could be in competition with other drinking establishments that do not receive tax exempt status. Nairne said the pub acts as a gathering space where legion members meet, hold charity meat draws and work on plans for Remembrance Day. “Membership has dropped significantly,” he said. “But we have a dedicated group. Our finances are fragile and a complete tax exemption would be a further

Vipers capitalize in opener EMANUEL SEQUEIRA Black Press Sports
The Vernon Vipers peppered Cowichan Valley Capitals goalie Lane Michasiw with 26 shots over two periods, yet had nothing to show for it. After changing the game plan in the third, in which they continued the onslaught of shots, 15-4, cracks started developing in Michasiw’s armour, leading to a 2-0 Vipers win at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre in the Bauer BCHL Showcase. “I didn’t think we were getting into the dirty areas to generate Grade A scoring chances,” said Vipers interim head coach and general manager Kevin Kraus. “A lot of our shots were from the outside without traffic going to the net.” First, Thomas Aldworth burned the Capitals power-play unit by using his speed to get by a defender before scoring on a shot along the ice. Then Riley Brandt capitalized on a turnover in the high slot and scored low blocker. The Vipers learned that Michasiw stayed up a lot and covered the top half of the net well. “In the third we really started to click,” said Aldworth, whose winner was his first in the BCHL after coming over from the United States Hockey League. “He (Michasiw) played really well. It was hard to beat him.” While Michasiw did his best to keep the Capitals in the game, they spent most of their time fending off the Vipers aggressive forecheck and physical game. The Capitals showed more push and pressured the Vipers late in the third as BLACK PRESS SPORTS they tried to break Danny Todosychuk’s shutout.

Vernon drains Kelowna team Morning Star Staff
The Battle at Brooklyn, The Showdown at Medinah and now you can add the Comeback at Okanagan Golf Club to great Ryder Cup matches. The Vernon North team bounced back from a two-point deficit in the morning best-ball matches to dominate singles play and win for the fifth straight year and ninth time in the 12-year history of the Vernon vs Kelowna Ryder Cup. The best ball competition was played at the Quail course at the Okanagan Club. Myles Johnson (Spalumcheen) and Ian Henson (Tobiano) took down Jamie Stephens (Kelowna) and Ty Griffiths (Black Mountain) 3 and 2. Jesse Crowe (Salmon Arm) and Dave Munn (Nike Golf) beat Mark Lindsay (Puma Golf) and Miles Palhaniuk (Sunset Ranch) 2 and 1 with Lindsay prolonging the match by holing an eight iron from 155 yards on No. 16 for an eagle two. Adam Blair (Talking Rock) and A.J. Eathorne (Predator Ridge) lost 2 and 1 to Cam Muirhead (Okanagan Golf Club) and Jon Ferrier (Doc’s Driving Range). Brooks Jones (Vernon) and Mark Kohlen (Talking Rock) lost to Chad Scott (Harvest) and Clay Stohers (Okanagan Golf Club) 1 down. Keith Vandenbrink (Hillview) and Lee Ranger (The Rise) lost to Chris Hinton (Harvest) and Greg Forbes (Black Mountain) 2 and 1. Shannon Glenesk ( Vernon) fell to Scott Ellen (Tower Ranch) 1 down in the only singles match of the morning. “With Kelowna up 4-2 after the morning there really wasn’t much to tell the team,” said North captain Crowe, who claimed a $340 eagle skin at the Callaway IPGA stop Monday at Black Mountain. “I told them go out make putts and win every point. As it turned out we almost did. As a group in the afternoon, 10 of our 11 players were under par and we were a combined 35 under as a team. “A.J. Eathorne led us off winning her match 6 and 4 over Chris Hinton as she shot 63. After A.J.’s start, I think we wanted to ‘Play like a girl.’” Blair then beat Scott 3 and 2 to pull Vernon North even at four. Johnson shot 64 and beat Stephens 5 and 4, while Henson lost to Palhaniuk 2 and 1 and Glenesk stopped Stohers 2 and 1 . Munn won 6 and 4 over Forbes, Vandenbrink took down Ellen 3 and 2, Kohlen iced White Hot pro and curler Tyrel Griffith 4 and 3, Jones defeated Ferrier 2 up and Ranger cruised past host professional Cam Muirhead 5 and 4. Crowe and Kelowna captain Lindsay halved their match when the teams came out to tell them Vernon North had retained the cup as they were all square through 16.

Posse pounce on Knights
Soccer Spin-o-rama
Morning Star Staff
The Princeton Posse rallied from down two in the third period to clip the North Okanagan Knights 3-2 in overtime during Kootenay International Junior Hockey League play Friday night at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. “We had a break in our defensive coverage during the 4-on-4 (overtime), but other than that, I thought we played really well,” said Knights’ coach Jim Armstrong. The Knights played in their second straight overtime game They downed the Golden Rockets in double overtime a week ago. North Okanagan broke the ice when Mitchell Lukacs sniped his first of the season from Willie Daigneault and captain Dryden Profeit 8:08 into the first. Colin Robin added a G-note from Scott Latwat 2:09 into the second. The Posse began their comeback in the third while on the man advantage. The two teams combined to go 1-for-19 on the powerplay. “I’m not sure if that’s good penalty kill, or bad powerplay, or maybe a bit of both,” said Armstrong. “Once they scored on the powerplay, we got a bit tight and they took advantage. I liked our guys though; we battled and had a few great chances late.” Colton St. John tied the game from Kyle Bergh with two minutes remaining. Kurtis Klinger buried the winner with 1:36 remaining in the first overtime. The Knights battled the Fernie Ghostriders Saturday night in Armstrong. The Ghostriders smoked the Kelowna Chiefs 7-1 Friday night at Rutland Arena.

John Matejicka supplied the goal as the Vernon Silver Stars bounced Winfield 1-0 in Okanagan Men’s 55+ Soccer League action Thursday night at MacDonald Park. It was Matejicka’s eighth tally of the season as the first-place Stars improved to 18-3-2 with one game remaining. Winfield is 11-7-4. In other play, Kelowna Taco Time came from behind to clip Vernon Kal Tire 2-1 at Mission Sports Fields. Denis Chabot buried a rebound after Terry Lowe’s shot struck the crossbar early in the first half for Kal Tire (8-11-2). It was Chabot’s team-high ninth goal of the year. Kelowna levelled the score midway through the second half when Gord Anton fooled keeper Al Bensmiller with a rolling left-footer. Dave Scott netted the winner a few minutes later as last-place Kelowna went to 4-15-2. Central fullback Dave Church was the Orchard Park Mall Man of the Match for Taco Time, while central defender Ted Sheehan was the Burger King Man of the Match for Vernon.

New resort has gone to the dogs Tyler lowey Morning Star Staff
Meet the owners of the new dog day care, Fun 4 All Pet Resort, Carol and Len Hoare. They take loving dogs to a whole new level. The Fun 4 All Pet Resort opened a month ago and is ready to take care of your canines. “People don’t want their dogs left at home all day while they work, so they come drop them off and pick them up when they’re done for the day, it’s simple,” said Carol. Added Len, husband and co-owner, “It’s important to have the dogs in a social atmosphere interacting with other dogs instead of being left on their own for the day.” The Fun 4 All Pet Resort offers three different packages for your dog. The main event is the dog day care, which runs from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. with plenty of cuddles, exercise and meals. The dogs get perfectly pampered in the spa package, which comes with a shampooing and a pedicure. All food and shampoo is completely organic. Len and Carol have been taking care of dogs since the 1980s. They trained, groomed and taken care of dogs that have competed in the world class dog shows. People would send dogs to them from Japan, Brazil and all over North America to be taken care of.

Carol and Len Hoare get swarmed by Celine (left), Alpine, Katie and Shadow at their new dog daycare on 29th Street, the Fun 4 All Pet Resort. “Handling a lot of dogs at once is definitely challenging, but it is something we are both passionate about,” said Carol, who if she had to pick a favourite type of dog, it would be a golden retriever. Since its opening, the resort has been very busy.
With more than 4,500-square-feet of indoor and outdoor space, there is plenty of room for the dogs to run around and have a blast. The building is divided up into spacious sections to accommodate for the different types of dogs. With lots of windows, you can
stand at the front of the building and peek through to the outdoor grassland area and see your dog interacting. “We want to provide a safe and secure environment for people to leave their dogs,” said Len. “It makes people’s lives easier knowing that their dog is in good hands.” Once they take the dogs in, they perform a social evaluation on the dog to see how they will interact with the other dogs. “Dogs are a lot like people. Some are social and some aren’t as social. That is something we need to figure out so we know how to handle the animal,” said Len. The number of dogs they can house depends on the types of dogs they are working with, their sizes and personalities. The capacity is always fluctuating. “People bring their dogs in with slight issues and we work with them. It’s all about continuing education here with the dogs,” said Carol. The pet resort has made it easier on frequent users to book in their pets. Once established, dog owners can go on the resort website and book their dog without needing to call for an appointment. The Hoare’s plan on installing webcams in the near future so owners can monitor their dog’s actions, along with adding cats into the mix.
Trade mission targets India

It was a picture perfect evening with a view as approximately 165 people packed onto the rooftop Nixon Wenger venue for Business After Five Tuesday, co-sponsored by the Downtown Vernon Association and the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce.
The second largest country in the world is being encouraged to invest more in B.C. Premier Christy Clark, Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk and a group of registered delegates will lead a trade mission to New Delhi, Mumbai and Chandigarh Oct. 9 to 18. They will meet with business and government officials. Virk will also travel to Bangalore to raise awareness about secondary and postChristy Clark secondary education partnerships, joint research initiatives, and student exchange between B.C. and India. The trade mission will focus on a number of key areas including education, natural gas and other resources, agrifoods, clean technology, life sciences, film and digital arts, and finance. It is Asia’s third-largest economy and is projected to become one of the largest consumer markets in the world. “Building strong educational ties with a growing
economy and modernizing society such as India will benefit B.C. students and B.C.’s education system,” states a provincial government release. In 2013, B.C. goods exports to India were worth $468 million, an increase of 45 per cent compared to the same period in 2012. “Opening and expanding markets for our goods and services is a pillar of the B.C. Jobs Plan,” states the government. “Trade missions are a critical part of British Columbia’s strategy to strengthen and diversify its international trading partners and secure new investment, propelling economic activity and job creation throughout the province. Quick Facts B.C. exports to India increased more than 296 per cent between 2001 and 2013. The top commodity exports to India in 2013 were coal, copper, wood pulp and news print. The number of students coming to B.C. from India has grown more than 188 per cent over the last three years. In 2013, India ranked as the sixth-highest market destination for B.C. exports, after five years of steady increases.

Consider volatility
Guest Column
To place a classified ad call:
Choose investments that have demonstrated solid performance across many market cycles As you’ve probably heard, “past performance is no guarantee of future results,” and this is true. You can help improve your outlook by owning quality investments. So when investing in stocks, choose those that have actual earnings and a track record of earnings growth. If you invest in fixedincome vehicles, pick those that are considered “investment grade.” Don’t make emotional decisions At various times during your retirement, you will, in all likelihood, witness some sharp drops in the market. Try to avoid overreacting to these downturns, and stay disciplined to your strategy. If you can keep your emotions out of investing, you will be less likely to make moves such as selling quality investments because their price is down, and missing any market rebound Don’t try to “time” the market Focus on taking a longer-term view of market volatility by staying invested and making consistent investments into quality assets based on a systematic strategy and not predictions of market highs and lows. Over time, this method of investing may result in lower per-share costs. However, as is the case with diversification, this type of systematic investing won’tguarantee a profit or protect against loss, and you’ll need to be willing to keep investing when share prices are declining. It’s probably natural to get somewhat more apprehensive about market volatility during your retirement years. But taking the steps described above can help you navigate the sometimes-choppy waters of the financial world. Bruce Shepherd is a financial advisor with Edward Jones.

Curves fitness centres, including Vernon, are opening their doors this week. Open house week runs Monday to Friday and provides women with the opportunity to take some time for themselves. According to a new survey by Harris Poll on behalf of Curves, nearly seven in 10 women responded they would like more “me time” in a given week for their personal interests and hobbies. Fitness and wellness activities such as going to the gym or exercising rank among the top four ways to spend “me time,” but six in 10 women

s an investor, you’re well aware that, over the short term, the financial markets always move up and down. During your working years, you may feel that you have time to overcome this volatility. And you’d be basing these feelings on actual evidence: historically, the longer the investment period, the greater the tendency of the markets to “smooth out” their performance. But what happens when you retire? Won’t you be more susceptible to market movements? You may not be as vulnerable to market movements as you might think. People are living longer, and may easily spend two, Bruce Shepherd or even three, decades in retirement — so your investment time frame isn’t necessarily going to be that compressed. Nonetheless, it’s still true that time may well be a more important consideration to you during your retirement years, so you may want to be particularly vigilant about taking steps to help smooth out the effects of market volatility. Toward that end, here are a few suggestions: Allocate your investments among a variety of asset classes Of course, proper asset allocation is a good investment move at any age, but when you’re retired, you want to be especially careful that you don’t “over-concentrate” your investment dollars among just a few assets. Spreading your money among a range of vehicles — stocks, bonds, GICs and so on —can help you avoid taking the full brunt of a downturn that may primarily hit just one type of investment. (Keep in mind, though, that while diversification can help reduce the effects of volatility, it can’t assure a profit or protect against loss.)

Skipper David Dosser navigates his boat at the top of the Hatton Locks, which climb a total of 150 feet.
Boating in the Midlands CHERIE THIESSEN Special To The Morning Star
BRITAIN - I should never have had that second cup of coffee! We’re inching along about 50 feet above the A3400 highway and I’m trying to keep my hands steady on the tiller so as not to bump either side of the aqueduct. I figure I have about one inch to spare on either side and why aren’t there railings on both sides? We’re just leaving Wootton Wawen after exploring its 1,100 year-old Saxon sanctuary and this crossing, built in 1813, is by far the most adrenalin pumping of the three aqueducts we encounter on the waterway. Reaching the other end without a bump, I beam proudly as the crew from a waiting canal boat applauds. It’s day five of our pilgrimage to Shakespeare’s StratfordUpon-Avon, only 30 kilometres away by road from our starting point in the Midlands at Stockton Top Marina but a six-day trip for us. Distances are deceiving in a narrow boat: Five kilometres can take five hours if there are copious locks between you and your destination, and a queue of other boats ahead of you.
There are no boat queues this rainy, early May morning, but copious locks have, indeed, lurked in wait — the famous staircase of Hatton Locks, for example. Completed in 1799, its 21 locks climb 150 feet over two miles and are then punctuated with the 396 metre-long Shrewley Tunnel, built in 1799, a trickster of a tunnel that delighted in anointing all four of us with icy rivulets when least expected. We choose this route for the fun and challenge of its locks, all 152 of them (return), its aqueducts, and its sleepy, scenic countryside, all part of our adventure as we head to the Bard’s home town. Our boat is the 52-foot long Florence Edith, an impressive size until you realize that a narrow boat is called that for good reason. It’s only seven-feet wide. These canals and locks were originally designed for narrow boats carrying coal, sugar, tea and spices, so modern craft still need to emulate their ancestors in order to squeeze into those lean locks. The Florence Edith, hired from Kate Boats, has a stateroom, 1.5 bathrooms and an eating area, galley, and
lounge, and both the eating area and the lounge convert into beds, perfect for two couples, because this is one vacation that should be shared, splitting the work and doubling the laughs. My partner, David Dossor, and our close friends, Pat Crossley and Gerry McKeating, are all getting a good workout. Cruising to Stratford entailed leaving the wider and busier Grand Union Canal and navigating a frighteningly abrupt elbow turn under a low bridge into the South Stratford Canal. The hair-raising narrowness of the locks had a positive side, however, there was only one gate to open at each end instead of two, and although more challenging for the skipper, it made the crew’s jobs much easier. An already scenic trip soon trumped itself as we chugged dreamily past black and white footbridges, grazing sheep, undulating green-hedged fields, and rainbow-coloured canal boats spilling with rooftop flowers and folk art, on our hunt for the perfect happy hour tieup. Last night we couldn’t resist a spot near the country pub and ancient church, but
tonight’s choice is a pastoral one, far from traffic and nudged by wheat sheaves and sheep. Wine on deck chairs on the towpath is the daily routine, followed by dinner al fresco on our floating restaurant. So, do you have steady hands and a good eye for nudging between those unrelenting canal walls? Strong arms for cranking the windlasses to open the sluices and well toned muscles for pushing the balance beams to shut and open the gates? Do you harbour a thirst for savouring good beer in country pubs,
and an urge to enjoy a little slow time, passing through bucolic countryside? Can you handle the peace of evenings tied up alongside curious sheep, and can you stand being woken in the morning by a birdsong reveille? If so, your choices are endless in Britain. Cherie Thiessen is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Special to The Morning Star
I started school in September, 1939, in a one-room log school located in the farming area near Jarvie, Alta., northwest of Edmonton. It was called Bear Lake School. There were 10 students, Grades 1 to 8. These students came from two families: our family (English speaking) and a second family whose mother tongue was Ukrainian. Two pupils in Grade 1: me and a little Ukrainian-learning-English girl. Two pupils in Grade 2: my sister, and the sister of my Grade 1 partner. My lunch pail was a Rogers Golden Syrup pail.
Winter heat was supplied by a woodfired pot-bellied heater stove at the back of the room. Drinking water came in a galvanized pail, drawn from a well outside in the school yard, and a “dipper” used in the schoolroom. The teacher was an elderly gentleman who was very strict (it seemed), and played the violin in teaching us music. (It was quite troubling to us two little girls trying to learn to sing our beginner songs and hear the twittering giggles of our older siblings behind us.) He lived in the “teacherage” — an extra room added on to the back of the school. However, I was thrilled to be starting

Alzheimer’s Day, and the Alzheimer Society of B.C. invites all British Columbians to reduce their risk of developing dementia by taking steps to improve and maintain brain health. While there are some risk factors that can’t be controlled, such as growing older and your genetic makeup, a significant and growing body of research proves that it is never too late to reduce risk by being good to your brain. “Physical fitness, brain fitness, healthy diet, social activity and protecting your head
are all measures that may reduce your risk of dementia,” said Dr. Howard Feldman, professor of neurology at UBC and director of the UBC Hospital Clinic for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders. “The goal is to enter later life with a better developed, healthier brain. By maintaining certain healthy lifestyle habits, we may enhance our cognitive abilities by stimulating networks and connections within the brain. It’s never too early to focus on brain health.” Although it is still not possible to talk about
absolute prevention, research increasingly confirms that taking steps now may reduce your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia in the future. The Alzheimer Society of B.C. provides support and information as people learn to cope with dementia. “Heads up: An Introduction to Brain Health” workshops take place regularly in communities throughout the province and via tele-workshop.

Village makes impression JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Lumby is blooming. The Village earned a three-bloom rating (out of five) for its first year taking part in the Communities in Bloom program. “For a new community in the program they just sort of raved about it,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. One particular area of impression was Lumby’s forestry program at Charles Bloom.
Professional
Quit assist applauded Pressure to butt out is creating a healthier community in Lumby. Acton has high praise for the UBC Okanagan nurses who are out again for their third year in a row. “We have three nurses who come out and work with our students and seniors and figure out how to make our community healthier,” said Acton. The result has been great for public areas. “Already we’ve noticed around the park and skateboard park there’s not as many people smoking,” said Acton, adding that the result is more families and young children utilizing the facilities.

Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes concluded debate at second reading on his Private Members’ Bill C-587 to amend the Criminal Code (to increase parole ineligibility) this week in the House of Commons Bill C-587 seeks to extend the parole eligibility period for those convicted of the abduction, heinous acts of sexual assault and murder of an individual from the current 25 years, up to a maximum of 40 years. “My bill has merit and will provide guidance and accommodation to our judiciary to further protect victims of violent crimes,” said Mayes. “This is about victims and their families, not the offenders. Once a parole hearing has been given and denied, the whole process starts over again. Making murderers ineligible for parole for up to a maximum of 40 years could save families approximately eight unnecessary parole hearings.”

Superintendent’s Message Welcome to the 2014-2015 school year. Thank you to the parents, students and community for your patience and understanding during the job action. The teachers and the Board of Education have ratified the recent negoitiated collective agreement. I know we are all looking forward to welcoming our returning and new students and focusing on our passion - teaching and learning. Our primary focus in SD 22 is to ensure that each student has the opportunity and support to develop to their full potential. We are proud to provide many excellent programs in safe and caring schools. We are fortunate to live in a community that values and supports education. Thank you to the many organizations who partner with us to provide work experience and apprenticeship placements, scholarships and awards, support for fine arts and athletic programs and to the hundreds of individuals who volunteer in our schools. We also recognize the support of the Okanagan Indian Band and the Friendship Centre in helping provide programs and services for our Aboriginal students. By working together as a community we have created a vibrant education system. I will be working with the Board of Education, teachers, administrators and support staff to ensure we continue to provide outstanding programs and services. I wish all of our students, families, teachers, administrators and support staff an enjoyable and successful school year and look forward to watching our students learn and grow. Welcome Back!

A Message from the Board Chair: On behalf of our school trustees, may I take this means of welcoming both our new and former students back to class for the 2014-2015 school year. Despite the delay in the school opening, I know that our school trustees, educators, parents and community will work together to ensure that every student in School District No. 22 will have an opportunity to experience a meaningful and productive school term. Our teachers, support staff and administrators are committed to creating a healthy and stimulating learning and working environment by delivering and supporting a variety of programs designed to meet the special needs and interests of our learners. In addition, their commitment often extends beyond the classroom to offer the students athletic, fine arts and community opportunities that the students may not otherwise enjoy. Each new school term brings with it new opportunities and new challenges. Every effort will be made to take advantage of these opportunities to expand and enhance student learning. We can also expect new challenges as this district has repeatedly demonstrated that it has the resilience, initiative and skills to deal with difficult situations. We look forward with confidence to a rich, exciting and rewarding school term. To each of our students may I wish each of you a successful and inspiring school year and to our school district’s “family” the Board’s sincere thanks for making School District No. 22 (Vernon) “A Great Place To Learn”.

A delicious dinner, live entertainment and great prizes are just a few of the highlights of the annual Apwoyo Gulu fundraiser taking place next weekend. But the real winner is St. Mary’s Hospital in Lacor, Gulu, Uganda, where Vernon surgeon Dr. Ghee Hwang has been working with a team of nurses for the past few years to provide education, medical and surgical supplies and equipment. Hwang has been teaching surgical skills to the surgical residents, medical students and hospital staff as well as offering his own skills to the surgical program since 2008. “This is the largest hospital in Northern Uganda, with 474 beds, funded mostly by charitable donations from the Corti Foundation, and survives on around three million Euros ($3.7 million CAN) annually.” The team of doctors and nurses, in association with Canadian Network for International Surgery (CNIS), has been teaching and working at St. Mary’s, with the mission to return every year to teach peri-operative nursing skills to Ugandan nurses. But to do that, funds are needed. “Once you’ve been to such places it’s life-changing, it doesn’t matter if it’s Uganda or Nicaragua or the Philippines because suddenly you are out of your normal comfortable habitat and you’re thrown into this place that is totally new and you realize that we have taken a lot of things for granted like shelter and water,” said Hwang. “In Gulu they still have no running water except for at the hospital, so they have to go and get water at the village pump every day. “In Canada, we have water and food in abundance; in Uganda, most of the people I speak to only have one meal a day; kids go to school with no breakfast. “People don’t realize that there are places where others are living from day to day so for my team, once they’ve been, it’s changed them; they know they are so fortunate, so they do like to go.” For Hwang and his team of nurses, which includes Ronda Furlan, Heidi Schelb-Fackler and Annette Timm, returning to Uganda on a regular basis gives them a chance to really have an impact on St. Mary’s staff and patients. “The reason we keep going to the same place is that a lot of times it takes a few years before you notice the change and the effects of your teaching and also it’s like you’ve paid your dues, so they start to listen to you because you’re committed to going, so when I go there, they say ‘welcome home,’” said Hwang. “So you need to go to the same place to effect change and things have changed; they have an annual report put out by the hospital and so I look at the statistics and the infection rate has come down by at least 50 per cent, the infant mortality rate has also come down, the maternal mortality rate is the best in Uganda, better than the university hospital in Kampala.” LPN Annette Timm has been sterilization supervisor for many years at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. She has overhauled the way instruments are sterilized at St. Mary’s. “So they know they are sterilized, we always buy half a

Annette wrote up the book for them to follow,” said Hwang. “The most important thing is education so as not to spread infection amongst the ward, so we have taught things such as the fact that alcohol spreads the bugs, it doesn’t kill the bugs; that’s why the nurses are there — to help me educate about these things and to teach them in the operating room and how to handle instruments.” Hwang said the biggest challenge is staff retention. For many of them, once they have been trained, they are able to look for a position elsewhere that pays them a better wage. This year’s Apwoyo Gulu fundraiser for St. Mary’s takes place Sept. 27 at 6 p.m. at the Schubert Centre in Vernon. There will be a no-host bar, a slide show featuring St. Mary’s Hospital and the surrounding countryside, and entertainment throughout the evening including the Vernon Jabulani African Drummers. “I will also talk about the Ebola outbreak at St. Mary’s, which was the epicentre of the biggest Ebola outbreak in Africa in 2000,” said Hwang. Tickets for the African-themed dinner are $40 each or $320 per table of eight. Sponsorship and donations of at least $20 are tax-deductible, with receipts from CNIS; there are various levels of sponsorship available. Among the many items up for bid, there is a two-night stay with full breakfasts donated by Sparkling Hill Resort and handmade African

Gregg Braden shares his wisdom Morning Star Staff
Deepak Chopra calls him “a rare blend of scientist, visionary and scholar with the ability to speak to our minds, while touching the wisdom of our hearts.” Bestselling author and thought leader Gregg Braden will be in Vernon Sept. 27 headlining a fullday retreat at Sparkling Hill Resort on the topic, “Creating Resilience in a Time of Extremes: Real Solutions in the Real World.” For more than 27 years, Braden has explored high mountain villages, remote monasteries and forgotten texts to merge their timeless secrete with the best science of today. His discoveries are now shared in 33 countries and 38 languages through books such as The God Code, The Divine Matrix, Fractal Time and his newest, Deep Truth. A member of several leadership organizations, including the Evolutionary Leadership think tank, founded by Chopra, Braden has received numerous awards in recognition of his insights and innovation. His work has been shared on every continent of the world and in recent years he has presented his seminars and trainings to Fortune 500 companies, the U.S. military, international businesses and is now featured in media specials on the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, National
Geographic, ABC and NBC. In this fast-paced, multi-media seminar, Braden goes beyond mainstream thinking to identify the converging cycles of climate, war, peak energy and peak debt triggering the dramatic changes in our lives. Braden’s presentation takes place Sept. 27 at Sparkling Hill Resort from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. For more information, and to register, see www. ideasfestival.ca

This Chicken Soup is kosher for vegan writer Armstrong’s Diane Nicholson has two more of her stories published in the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
As a vegan for the past 19 years, and an animal lover, it’s ironic how much chicken soup is in Diane Nicholson’s soul. The local photographer and writer may not eat meat, or dairy, but she has had a number of her short stories published in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, which is part of a huge multi-media publishing house based out of Connecticut in the U.S., known for its inspirational and various themed books circulated around the world. “Lynn Johnston (creator of For Better or For Worse) once said to me that Chicken Soup For the Soul wasn’t exactly a good title for a vegan to be in either,” laughed Nicholson, who raises horses and operates her Twin Hearts Photo Productions studio in Armstrong. With eight stories already featured in other Chicken Soup books, Nicholson has two more to add to her growing list. Both were just published in the just released edition, Chicken Soup for the Soul, The Cat Did What?, which features stories from people in all walks of life who have found new meaning and joy in their lives by adopting and fostering cats. In her one story, Good Vibrations, which features an introductory quote by Mark Twain, Nicholson writes the true story about Orion, a large orange and white tom cat she heard wailing in her barn one day. After discovering the cat had two large abscesses on his leg, she nursed him by placing a poultice on his leg until he was healthy. “Orion became the newest member of our family,” Nicholson writes. Nicholson’s love for animals goes back to her days growing up in Oregon, where she was born. Even when her family moved to New York City, she always found ways to be near both her warm and cold-blooded friends.
Ben nicholson photo
armstrong writer and photographer Diane nicholson has recently seen two of her stories published in the most recent Chicken Soup for the Soul series, The Cat Did What? “(I) could be found picking up worms in puddles and placing them in a safe area,” she said. After spending a year in Berkeley, Calif., Nicholson moved to Vancouver, where she scored her dream job. “I used to work at the Children’s Zoo in Stanley Park,” she said. “I have raised everything from owls and hawks to a
seal pup and fawns, and of course, including the critters that everyone loves to hate like starlings and sea gulls.” Nicholson continues to tend animals and recently released a sparrow she had raised for two months since it was nine days old. Since moving to Armstrong with her husband, Harry, Nicholson has started a photographic practice, saying she learned the art by using her first Brownie camera at the age of six and honing her skills through the decades as technology in the industry advanced. A long-time member of the Professional Photographers of Canada, Nicholson has won numerous awards for her work, many showing animals in both their natural state and with their human companions, as pets. “Animals and their personalities –all animals including those we like to call food– are my inspiration. They inspire me daily with their humour, their patience and their love. And I don’t think a whole lot of the way we repay them, except for those select few that make it into loving homes,” she said. Besides writing about and photographing her animal friends, Nicholson and Harry, who has just recovered from cancer, have embarked on a new past time, travelling the countryside by motorcycle. Those travails will soon be published in her next story, The Thrill of the Ride, which will appear in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Finding Your Inner Strength, to be released in October. “It’s about how Harry and I got back into life after his cancer, by getting back into motorcycle riding,” she said, adding, “We’re having a ball. I’ve had my license since I was 17 but we took time out to raise kids. Once they left, we got new bikes (Nicholson has a Honda Shadow Aero 750) and I’ve put on 11,000 kilometres this season so far.” Nicholson will be riding into Vernon to sell and sign copies of Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Cat Did What?, as well as Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Wonders of Winter, which also features one of her stories about a cat, at Pet Planet in the Vernon Square Plaza, Sept. 28 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. She will also be selling some of her poster prints, with part proceeds going to the new dog rescue group, Saving Grace.
Canoes play strong part in shaping B.C., says author Morning Star Staff
From their roots of being built by birchbark and cedar to being used by the First Nations people as a mode of transport, to carrying furs and other goods to be traded by the Voyageurs for the Hudson’s Bay Company, canoes have a long history in this country. B.C. author and paddler Sanford Osler has just published a book about the history of the canoe (and kayak) in B.C. He arrives in Vernon Thursday as part of his book tour that is taking him around the
Okanagan-Shuswap this week. Osler’s book, Canoe Crossings: Understanding the Craft that Helped Shape British Columbia, takes the celebration of the canoe to a new level through an exploration of the craft’s unique development in B.C. “For thousands of years the canoe has been an iconic feature of the history and people of Canada. These simple vessels allowed First Nations to thrive and early explorers to travel Canada’s vast waterways from east to west to the Far North,” reads a release
from Heritage House, publisher of Canoe Crossings. Through an artful blend of memoir, history, and stories from the field, Osler positions B.C. at the leading edge of a flourishing new canoe culture with the power to engage and inspire. “Canoe Crossings will appeal to anyone who has ever sought adventure, found solace, or seen beauty in a canoe.” Osler gives his talk at the Vernon library Thursday at 7 p.m. Admission is free.

Monashee Arts Council chooses artwork to promote upcoming play Morning Star Staff
The Monashee Arts Council has revealed the new logo that will be used to promote the original and locally written play, Moose Under Coyote Sleeping. Lumby student Brooke Rudsvick designed the winning logo in the contest that went out to local residents earlier this year. “We want to have as much community involvement as possible and a logo contest to support and encourage local visual artists was one more way of doing so,” said Jennifer Greenwood, arts and culture program coordinator for the Monashee Arts Council. “There were several very strong entries and it was a difficult decision for the committee to choose a final submission as the winner, but they managed to do so and we are so pleased with the art.” Rudsvick studies art with Robin LeDrew, an instructor and director with the Monashee Arts Council, and says she took up the challenge to create a
unique piece that reflects the theme of the upcoming play. “Brooke has always been very passionate about her art and has been taking private classes with Robin for almost two years now,” said Greenwood. “This is the first contest she’s won with a monetary prize and it is likely that prize will get used to support her art habit.” Rudsvick is currently fine-tuning her image so it is clear for printing in all aspects of promoting Moose Under Coyote Sleeping. “The logo will appear on everything to do with the play production from press releases, website promotions, Facebook announcements, Tweets, as well as our printed posters and programs,” said Greenwood. “It is going to be great seeing the artwork of such a young and enthusiastic local artist associated with all the PR work involved in bringing this one-of-akind theatrical work to the stage.” The Monashee Arts Council received a grant funding for Moose Under Coyote Sleeping, written by local playwright Phil Wagner, from the B.C. Arts Council. The play portrays the history and lifestyle of the Monashee region and is scheduled to run at the Charles Bloom Secondary School community theatre in Lumby April, 2015.

Arts Less humans, more dolphins, please Dolphin Tale 2
W
inter is probably the most famous non-fictional dolphin in the world. She lives at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Florida. Originally rescued from a crabbing net, where injuries resulted in the loss of her tail, Winter became famous after being fitted with a prosthetic tale. Five years later, Winter seems to be depressed when her dolphin friend and “pool-mate” Mandy has been rehabilitated enough to be set free. When officials request that Winter be transferred to a commercial aquarium, the Clearwater staff become worried. Just in time a female bottlenose, orphaned too young to learn to fend for herself, is rescued by the Clearwater staff. She is given the name Hope and becomes a companion to Winter. We say, “Golly, that’s a squeaky clean dolphin tale you got there!” HOWE: This isn’t the best family movie that I have seen this year, but I think it’s aimed at a much younger audience than normal, so I shall ask my little boy (who is seven) what he thought. FENIN: I liked the little turtle. He was soooo cute. The pelican was looking down into the water and it was bubbling, then the children looked too and there was the little turtle and he had fishing wire on his little hand. HOWE: Well there you have it, a movie about dolphins and Fenin talks about the turtle. I wish they had spent more time on the story about the bonding of the dolphins rather than wham-bam thank you dolphin mom and the two of them are best buddies. TAYLOR: I took my niece Ana-Marie, who is 14. She wanted to see Dolphin Tale 2 because she liked the first installment. After seeing it, she agreed that

Reel Reviews
Taylor and Howe
she enjoyed the film, but not as much as the first. When pressed for details, she admitted that the first film was “all about the dolphin” and had less human drama. In Dolphin Tale 2 the human drama comes in the form of greedy aquarium owners, government inspectors and teenagers facing life changes. However, I think AnaMarie still found the dolphin drama rewarding and might have squeezed out a couple tears at the end. (I could be wrong about that. Don’t be mad at me Ana!) HOWE: I thought the ending was the best part and no, I’m not being nasty about the
film. I just found the real-life footage of the rescues and releases to be more interesting than the actual movie. I would have found it more entertaining to watch that for an hour and a half. TAYLOR: I was really worried that this film was going
to make me angry, as I don’t agree in the containment of wild animals for human amusement. (I never saw the first film.) I was very pleased when I realized that the Clearwater Marine Aquarium’s motto is “Rescue, Rehabilitate, Release.” I was then

further pleased, as the characters were sad to set Mandy free, but learned that it was the right thing to do. This caused a young child near me to turn to his mom and ask, “Why do they have to let the dolphin go?” This is exactly the right question. Dolphin Tale 2 is a squeaky clean family film. Take your kids to it. – Taylor gives Dolphin Tale 2 3 mackerels out of 5. – Howe gives it 2.5 stingray stroking stations out of 5. – Fenin gives it 5 dolphins out of 5.

Paint what you see at workshop Morning Star Staff
With the addition of a dedicated art workshop space in the Lake Country Art Gallery’s Art House space, the gallery is offering the third in its signature workshops series. Westside artist Jerry Markham presents Paint What You See, which runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a one hour lunch break on Saturday, Sept. 27 and Sunday, Sept. 28. The workshop coincides with Culture Days taking place around the country. “These workshops are designed to offer participants an indepth art making experience that will take one idea and really dive into it,” said Katie Brennan, LCAG curator. Markham’s workshop will focus on teaching artists to really see, which often requires some unlearning of things that we are often totally unaware of. “Our brain fills in gaps resulting in painting what we think we see, not what is actually there,” said Markham. In this two-day class, through demonstrations, drawing and painting exercises, as well as critiques, participants will learn techniques to improve their observational skills. “The beauty of learning to really see is that you can then paint anything – a still life, landscape, or the figure. There are no tricks, magic keys or fancy colour combinations that will ever surpass your ability to observe,” said Markham. The workshop is open to people who paint in oil, acrylic or watercolor, and at any skill level. Markham is a Canadian artist and plein air painter who enjoys landscape, mountain, wildlife, and figure painting. You can find out more about Markham and his work at jerrymarkham.com. An upcoming signature workshop, Source of Inspiration, with
Vernon clay sculptor Gale Woodhouse, takes place at the LCAG Art House, Oct. 18 and 19.

Live Well
HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist KYLE BREWER
We mention exercise a lot in this column but what does it really do for your heart? It improves the health of your blood vessels so they open up and blood flows more freely through your body. It also helps your nervous system reduce your heart rate. Your heart loves you when you exercise. Make it part of your day … every day. Food allergies can occur at any age but most often occur in chiildren under the age of five. The top ten foods that cause allergies are: eggs, milk, mustard, peanuts, seafood, sulphites (preservatives found in dried fruits), sesame, soy, tree nuts, wheat and other gluten-containing grains. The United Nations has a goal to have at least 50% of the world’s newborn babies be breast-fed for at least 6 months by the year 2025. It is well undetstood that this practice will give the child a better start in life with better nutrition and a stronger immune system. UN experts say that if 100% of all newborns were breastfed for the first six months of life, 800,000 lives could be saved yearly. Sleeping problems can be caused by snoring, sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, talking during sleep and just inability to sleep through the night. Often this causes problems for the spouse of the person with the sleep disorders. One solution that can help is separate beds or even separate bedrooms. We all need a good night’s sleep and if you feel this could help, give it a try. The people who work in our pharmacy are our greatest asset. Let one of them serve you soon.

Are dogs true carnivores? Dogs are under the species classification Canidae and the order Carnivora but do they stay true to this class by their behaviour, anatomy and feeding preferences? Let’s take, for example, the Wolf whom they are frequently compared to. Wolves hunt plant eating animals, but one of the first things that they consume after a kill are the stomach contents. These contents include plant material. True carnivores such as a cat require an amino acid “Taurine” in their diet. Taurine is obtained in the blood of their kill or as a synthetic additive to commercially made diets. Dogs’ requirements for this amino acid are the same as a human and we are considered omnivores. Omnivores basically mean opportunist feeders. They are able to consume meat as well as plants. Just think a wolf in the wild has a life expectancy of 6-8 years on average, where a domestic dog can live way beyond those years. Balanced diets certainly contribute to that longevity. A nutritionally balanced diet for your dog requires carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. If you have any questions about nutrition, please phone and speak to our Nutritionist.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THE SIGNAL SIGNALS A CONTRACT’S DEFEAT David Letterman said, “Traffic signals in New York are just rough guidelines.” There are other cities like that. In colorful Cairo, no one seemed to stop for a red light unless either other cars were crossing the junction or a police officer was standing there. Bridge defense signals are often only suggestions to partner, but sometimes are strict guidelines. In this deal, how should East and West play to defeat four spades after West leads a low heart in answer to his partner’s lead-directing double? North’s four-heart response was a Texas transfer. It guaranteed at least a six-card
spade suit and either gameonly or slam-going values. Yes, here North would have done better to respond three no-trump, but that might have backfired. When playing third hand high, East is supposed to put up the bottom of touching honors first -- but not when he has ace-king-doubleton. Then, he takes the first trick with the ace and cashes the king, high-low with a doubleton. And if he can get West back on lead, East can receive a heart ruff to defeat the contract. But which minor should East lead at trick three? West must give East a suitpreference signal. If West’s entry is in the lower-ranking of the other two side suits, he
plays his lowest heart at trick two. Here, though, because his entry is in the higherranking side suit, West drops his highest heart, the jack. Then East will know to shift to a diamond at trick three. West will take that trick and give his partner a heart ruff for down one. Signal as clearly as possible.

7:00 pm, Friday, September 26 A Public Workshop on “Making the Transition” & “Framing the Issues for 2015”
was focused on our government’s Victims Bill of Rights Act. It was a great opportunity to hear from constituents their appreciation of our government’s support for victims of crime. We also heard from a representative from Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) wherein the minister informed the roundtable that he is working on a new act that will focus on impaired driving due to alcohol, as well as drugs. Germany has developed a drug testing tool that can detect most drugs and will likely be used in Canada by enforcement authorities. If you fish for salmon in B.C. you are aware that you need to purchase Salmon Stamps for each fish you are allowed to catch. In the past the revenue from Salmon Stamps was collected by the Government of Canada and a portion was allotted to the Pacific Salmon Foundation. The foundation used their portion of the stamp revenue to improve salmon habitat, study the life cycle of salmon, and fund salmon related research. The foundation approached the B.C. Conservative caucus requesting that all the revenue from the Salmon Stamp be used to expand their good work. Our ministers of finance and fisheries and oOceans, listened and in the 2014-15 budget all Salmon Stamp revenue was directed to fund the Pacific Salmon Foundation. In our riding of OkanaganShuswap we received $95,000 for various projects. The actual announcement of the projects will be released on October 5. It was a great summer and I am always happy to be home with my family. It was also great to celebrate the investments your government in Ottawa is making in our riding.

News CSTS hearing denied TOM FLETCHER Black Press
After losing in court and before the B.C. Utilities Commission, a citizens’ group opposed to wireless electrical meters has been denied a hearing before the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal. The complaint was brought by a group called Citizens for Safe Technology Society (CSTS), which argued that “electrohypersensitivity� (EHS) is a disability. “I have concluded that there is no reasonable prospect that the complainants will be able to establish that the electromagnetic frequency (EMF) exposure resulting from smart meters results in adverse health consequences,� wrote tribunal member Norman Trerise in the decision not to hold a full hearing. CSTS submitted that they don’t have to prove this sensitivity exists, because the human rights tribunal has accepted “subjective self-reporting of symptoms� in a previous human rights case involving a Lower Mainland bus driver. CSTS also cited a Prince Edward Island Court of Appeal decision that stated “a person may be ill even though there is little or no objective evidence to prove it.�

Direct to Smelter – Precious Metals Roadshow coming to Armstrong and Vernon Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin will be in Armstrong and Vernon September 24th to 27th during a roadshow making its way through the Okanagan. You can bring your gold, silver, coins and Canadian paper money to the Seniors Activity Centre in Armstrong or the Schubert Centre in Vernon between 10am and 6pm each day. No appointment is required. Barry Dick is a precious metals buyer and President of Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin. “Ursa Major has the unique advantage of dealing direct with a smelter� said Dick. “That allows us to cut out one or even two middlemen. Ursa Major purchases gold and silver from other gold buyers, pawn shops, jewellers and jewellery makers as well as from the general public.� Recent price increases of precious metals have created lots of “gold buyers� including mail in companies. Many of those buyers offer pennies on the dollar to unsuspecting customers and are limited to what they buy, choosing to ignore silver and coins and only purchase gold. Ursa Major analyzes your gold, silver and coins while you watch, with the process explained to you in detail. Coins with numismatic value are set aside from those with a ‘melt’ value. Items thought to contain gold will be for hallmarks, and then confirmed using precise testing that is done while you watch. Then a cash offer is made and you decide to sell or not.

Dick took out his first gold claim when he turned 16 in the 1970’s and has been involved with precious metals ever since. An ardent gold panner, he was a regular at the world championship gold panning competition with a personal best of 3rd place in 1984. Now he concentrates on building the wholesale business while taking the roadshow out one or two times a month across Western Canada. “People bring in all kinds of interesting items, but for the most part it is a broken or old chain, unloved jewelry, a single earring, and out of fashion items like charm bracelets. We also accept dental gold but it should be clean. Another valuable item is coin with silver content. Dimes, Quarters, Half Dollars and Dollars from Canada and America can
