Millions pumped into Westside Road RICHARD ROLKE
“This $45 million is welcome.”
Morning Star Staff
Major work is expected along what some residents have classified as B.C.’s worst road. The provincial government announced Friday that it’s proceeding with $45 million in upgrades along Westside Road over five years. “The Westside Road improvement committee has been working on this since 2003,” said Jim Edgson, the North Westside Road electoral area director, who has been active with the residents’ committee. “With $10 million already been spent, this additional $45 million is certainly welcome.” Among the concerns about Westside Road are it’s narrow, windy and vehicles can plunge down the steep bank into Okanagan Lake. “For too many years now Westside Road
— Jim Edgson has been on the BCAA worst roads list and our government is going to fix that,” said Premier Christy Clark and WestsideKelowna MLA, during Friday’s press conference. “We made a commitment to improve safety and reliability on Westside Road, and we’re delivering.” Not all of the $45 million is earmarked yet, but $10 million involves two new construction projects. Emil Anderson Construction, of Kelowna, has been awarded the contract

for improvements from Waterfront Farm to Blue Grouse. This 800-metre section of Westside Road will be widened to have 3.6 metrewide lanes with paved shoulders, roadside barrier and rockfall protection measures. Construction began in late September and will be completed in fall 2015. A second project at the north end of Westside Road will see an 8.7-kilometre section resurfaced between the Highway 97 junction and Skookum Mine Road, about 10 kilometres northwest of Vernon. Okanagan Aggregates, of Armstrong, won the contract and is scheduled to start work in early October and be finished by the end of the month. “Anything that improves Westside Road is a positive step,” said Bob Fleming, BX-Swan Lake director, whose jurisdiction goes partially down the west side of Okanagan Lake.
“It will make it a lot easier to travel.” Fleming also believes improved conditions on Westside Road could increase use and ease some of the pressure on Highway 97 through Vernon and other valley communities. Construction and paving may require intermittent delays for traffic as well as scheduled closures of Westside Road for short periods of the day. While at the press conference in West Kelowna Friday, Fleming lobbied for projects in his area, including safety improvements at Highway 97 at Stickle Road and the highway and Bernie Road. “There were a lot of Ministry of Transportation officials there, as well as cabinet ministers and the premier,” said Fleming. “I want to keep reminding them that they haven’t covered all of the bases yet.”

Artist, gallery looking for missing painting roger knox Morning Star Staff
Joshua Wallace wants his painting back. His piece, Eye For An Eye, features famed peace activist Mahatma Ghandi in the middle, framed by lesser-knowns Dylan Welsh on the left and Joshua Gosselin on the right. “They’re my buddies, they’re not famous. I just incorporated them into my painting,” laughed Wallace, whose piece, which has gone missing, was created on an eight-footby-four-foot plywood canvas on the night of Saturday, Aug. 23, at the Vernon Public Art Gallery’s sixth annual Riot On The Roof at the Vernon Parkade. Wallace, 19, was participating as an artist for the first time in Riot On The Roof, an event aimed at a younger audience featuring two stages of live music, graffiti artists, live painting, chalk art, dancing and more. He arrived at the parkade that night at 6 p.m. and began working on his painting. The event officially opened to the public at 7 p.m. Wallace was situated on the bottom level - Level 4 – of the parkade. “I had my little display set up and I was working on my painting,” said Wallace, who left the event at 11:30 p.m. The last time he saw Eye For An Eye, he said, was at the parkade a couple of days after the event. “The organizers hadn’t taken the paintings down and I asked if I could go up and work on it because they told me they didn’t want me to take it home,” said Wallace. “So I went and worked on it, then left it with the rest of the giant (eight-by-four) paintings.” Wallace said he found out Thursday that

The artwork has since gone missing. the painting had officially been declared missing. “I got an e-mail from somebody asking to drop the painting off and I said I didn’t have it,” he said. “I thought maybe it was still at the parkade or maybe in the art gallery. I went there and spoke with the lady in charge and she said they hadn’t found it.” Art gallery executive director Dauna Kennedy Grant said Friday the gallery does not know where the painting is, but is in the process of contacting the different partici-

Expanded enforcement was making waves on North Okanagan lakes this year. The B.C.

Process proceeds for rail purchase Morning Star Staff
Efforts are stepped up to preserve an abandoned rail line for a recreational corridor. With a Monday deadline approaching to negotiate an agreement with CN Rail to buy the discontinued line between Kelowna and Coldstream, area municipalities and regional districts are moving forward with acquisition through the Canadian Transportation Agency discontinuance process. “Significant progress has been made in negotiations over the past several months. However there are still a few outstanding issues,” said Doug Gilchrist, Kelowna’s divisional director of community planning and real estate. “We have applied

net salvage value determination is not binding on the purchaser. Once an application for NSV determination is made, the process can take several months. “This is a once-in-alifetime opportunity to preserve a continuous, regionally-significant corridor with the potential to provide longterm public benefits for the enhancement of the social, environmental and economic benefit of our residents,” said Gilchrist. Funding options are still being explored, including partnerships, grants, municipal reserves or borrowing. Gilchrist says local governments will try to minimize any impact on taxes. The participants include Kelowna, Lake Country, Coldstream, Vernon and the regional districts of Central Okanagan and North Okanagan.

Owners Jim and Pam Atmore are concerned rising water rates are negatively impacting the viability of Hillview Golf. stop taking your kids to hockey, the pool or anything else because of the cost,” he said. The business employs 30 to 35 people. “We have been in contact with other courses in the Interior and the Kootenays and even the Fraser Valley and we are already paying two to four times the cost of full-size or champion golf facilities,” said Atmore. “But this is not just about Hillview Golf. Check the viability of other businesses that require water to operate. What is the future of our kids with the spray parks, swimming pool and water parks?” RDNO has stated higher water rates are needed to meet provincial water quality requirements, but Atmore challenges that argument. “Why is Vernon light years ahead of
other communities’ standards? Go to any other community in the province, and they are paying less,” he said. RDNO officials admit they have heard from businesses and residents about the cost of water. “We know there are concerns about rates and we are doing a review before the next budget cycle,” said Juliette Cunningham, GVAC chairperson. “There are requirements imposed by the Interior Health Authority and with the higher standards, we want to make sure we have safe water. You have to look at it in context and what it costs compared to other things we spend money on.” Cunningham says there is a need for an equitable rate system. “We can’t assist one business over another.”

A popular Vernon business could eventually close because of the rising cost of water. Hillview Golf has seen its water rates climb about 300 per cent since 2011 and a further 15 per cent hike is anticipated in 2015. “It’s not viable now. The last three increases have come out of my wage,” said Jim Atmore, who owns the 18-hole golf course with his wife Pam. “If we can’t source our own water through a well, by 2017, it (business) will be virtually unsustainable.” Through the Regional District of North Okanagan’s Greater Vernon Water utility, commercial rates for Hillview Golf have climbed from 26 to 75 cents a litre since 2011. “If the rates were frozen, I could probably survive for five or 10 years. If not, we will have to look at a different use for the land,” said Atmore. “If I could get the agricultural rate returned (switched to commercial in 2004), Hillview would stay in business for another 30 years.” A hydrologist has been consulted to see if a well could provide sufficient irrigation water and the City of Vernon’s treated waste water is unavailable. “We’ve done everything we can to limit water use but we cannot cut back anymore because if you can’t keep the course playable, who wants to play it?” said Atmore. “If I shut this down, I’ve lost 30 years of my life.” Increasing green fees to cover the water bill is not an option for Atmore. “There’s a point where you (parent)

Health board reps sought richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Pressure is growing on the provincial government to open up health authority boards. Delegates at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention recently supported a resolution that calls on Victoria to allow elected civic leaders to sit on the currently appointed health boards. “It came out of a frustration with the Interior Health Authority because we couldn’t get answers,” said Mike Mike Macnabb Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director and author of the resolution. Regional districts are asked by the provincial government to direct property taxes towards health care projects, such as expansion of Vernon Jubilee Hospital, but Macnabb says decisions are made without knowing a health authority’s true financial
status. “You can’t have control over capital when you don’t have knowledge of the operating dollars,” he said. Macnabb isn’t convinced the current appointment of health board members is reflective of the public interest. “Their accountability is to the province and not the people and the only way to represent the people is to have elected representatives from each regional district,” he said. In the case of IHA, that would lead to nine additional seats being added to the board. Macnabb’s resolution originally only focused on IHA but it was expanded to include all health authorities in B.C. UBCM will now lobby the provincial government but Macnabb isn’t hopeful about change given that Health Minister Terry Lake expressed some concerns about the concept when speaking to the Southern Interior Local Government Association. “He’s been dismissive of something that has merit,” said Macnabb.

Conflicting computer systems are making it difficult to set water rates in Greater Vernon. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee was told Thursday that accessing information for the water utility is challenging because Vernon, Coldstream and the regional district use different software for billing individually. “We want to bring all of the data into one software base,” said Dale McTaggart, engineering general manager. Discussions about streamlining the process are currently underway between the jurisdictions. But it’s uncertain how changes to the system will occur. “It’s quite costly and onerous but we need to determine if we’re going in the direction of having the data we want. Will the city change its software” said Doug Dirk, a Coldstream director. “Perhaps we can share the cost?” said Juliette Cunningham, GVAC chairperson and a Vernon director. Beyond all of the jurisdictions using similar computer software for individual billing purposes, another concept is also possible. “We could consider moving to a single billing jurisdiction,” said David Sewell, Regional District of North Okanagan chief administrative officer.

A country fairy tale
y eight and 10-year-old nephews visiting from the Big City had never been to a county fair. Maybe in their rich county in their rich state, they didn’t have them. What would a county fair would look like in their well-to-do suburban part of the country? All the carnies probably wear khaki slacks and have degrees in child psychology. In the leafy suburbs, fairgoers may actually win some of the large stuffed animals at the ring-toss wagon. At a real county fair, no one ever wins. And the rides! The nephews had never seen Jim Mullen such rides. Apparently Disney World and Six Flags don’t have rusty, old, shaky contraptions that look as if the peeling paint is the only thing holding them together. They didn’t seem to notice any difference between Disney’s ultra-modern Space Mountain and the aging, battered, used-looking king of our midway, the Scream-a-Thon. I looked around to see if there was a sign on it that said, “Guaranteed to make you vomit or your money back!” No doubt the county fair ride inspector gave the Scream-a-Thon a thorough going-over before it was approved to be operated by the finest temp worker minimum wage could buy. It probably takes years and years of training, as well as passing a tough test, to earn a license to run something like this. Then I remembered that we voted to cut things like ride inspectors in last year’s election to lower property taxes. Well, if an eight-year-old can ride it, how bad can it be? I’ll get on with him. What a baby ride, I thought, not very fast but a little bit jerky. By the time I realized it had just been loading other suckers, it really started to spin. The centrifugal force was trying to rip the pacemaker right out of my chest. As our cage

violently spun around, we went from queasy weightlessness to queasy multi-G forces in milliseconds. My lunch was screaming, “What’s the matter with you? What were you thinking?!” A week later and I’m still queasy, but the eight and 10-year-old went on to do all the other the rides. Twice. Then they asked me, “What’s a Demolition Derby?” “Oh, you don’t want to see that,” I told them, steering them away from the grandstand and towards Fried Dough Alley. I carefully explained to them how noisy and smoky and crowded and dangerous it is to watch guys crash cars into each other as fast and as hard as they could. “Half the time the cars burst into flames and the firemen run to put them out,” I said. The more I told them how violent and life-threatening it was, the more they wanted to go. They insisted that if they didn’t see the Demolition Derby they would surely curl up and die, that their lives would never be worth living, that they would never live up to their potential and would probably end up going to a state school instead of Harvard. “But first,” I said, “We have to get something to eat. Your parents will kill me if I don’t feed you.” When the healthiest thing at the fair is a deep-fried avocado, there’s not much point in trying to eat healthy. The kids went for the doughnut sundae. Now I’m thinking, maybe their parents will kill me because I fed them. “Aren’t you afraid that will spoil your dessert?” I asked, but no one answered. The Demolition Derby was everything I told them it would be and worse. After half an hour of solid engine noise and the crunch of metal on metal, I was longing for the peace and quiet of the Scream-a-Thon. On the drive home, through their yawns, they both pledged to become derby drivers instead of hedge fund managers, no matter what their parents thought. Contact Jim Mullen at JimMullenBooks.com.
There was some good news Friday for residents on the west side of Okanagan Lake or those who go for a drive to take in the picturesque views. The provincial government is investing $45 million over five years to upgrade additional portions of Westside Road. “For too many years now Westside Road has been on the BCAA worst roads list and our government is going to fix that,” said Premier Christy Clark. “We made a commitment to improve safety and reliability on Westside Road, and we’re delivering.” And no one can question the need for improvements. Westside Road is windy and narrow and the open bank dropping down to the lake poses considerable risk. Often, motorists become frustrated behind slowmoving recreational vehicles or large trucks, and that can lead to rash decisions. Fatal accidents are not uncommon on the stretch between Vernon and Kelowna. However, while the Westside Road project is important, let’s hope the premier and her government colleagues don’t ignore other vital transportation enhancements needed in the Okanagan. And specifically, the Ministry of Transportation needs to speed up the process for improvements at Stickle Road and Highway 97, along Swan Lake, and Highway 97 and Bernie Road, along Kalamalka Lake. Both have been the site of fatal accidents or nearmisses and something must be done. One can make the case that Westside Road is moving ahead because there has been a lot of media attention and it’s been deemed the worst road in B.C. However, these other projects are as equally necessary to ensure the safety of the travelling public.

District chairperson responds
am writing in response to the letter by Robert E. Lee published in the Sept. 26 Morning Star. I would like to provide some clarification to the busing issue and respond to some of the statements made by Mr. Lee. Firstly, let me share the education ministry’s position on student travel to schools. It is very simple: Parents, not school districts, are responsible for getting children to school. In addition, school districts are not required to provide transportation for students and, if they choose to do so, they must find the means to generate the additional funding required to provide that service. As a result, many of the school districts now charge for busing For example, the Central Okanagan School District charges $112 per student per year. Our school board has been reluctant to move in that direction, feeling that this could create a financial burden on young families, but the board may have to give this some consideration in the near future. Mr. Lee states there is a lack of communication between the board and parents. Each school has a parent advisory council. We are one of the few, possibly the only, school board that has a trustee assigned to every school PAC in the district. Our trustees attend these meetings to update
driving Having spent long moments waiting to enter our roundabouts, it has become a diverting occupation to study passing drivers. The conclusion is that only one of every five drivers actually knows how to use a roundabout. These are generally taxi and commercial drivers. Another one of the five appears never to have encountered a roundabout before and will signal left as if turning into the street that used to be there. One of these desperate people actually did turn left into the roundabout, bouncing over the median in his panic. The remaining three don’t signal at all, whether from ignorance, laziness, or a mysterious desire to keep going round and round and round …. Quoting from www.gov.bc/roundabouts, "Use your right turn signal when exiting”. This even applies to streets that once went straight (e.g. 30th Avenue) but now have their own exits and require a signal, odd as it may seem.
parents on current educational issues and to respond to any parental concerns. As a board, we do not rely on parents to come to us. We are prepared to go to the parents and we do so. In addition, there are a number of other opportunities for sharing information and receiving input from parents on a regular basis, including the school district website, which is utilized to obtain parental input. At times, a simple e-mail is all that is necessary. The board chairperson and the superintendent attend the monthly meetings of the District Parent Advisory Council to update parents on current issues and to respond to questions or concerns. Prior to determining the budget “cuts” for the current school year, parents were invited to a meeting for input regardDo let waiting drivers know what you intend to do. It’s easy. Really. T. Hurst graTeful I wish to thank the Vernon Alliance Church prayer group, the tenants of McCulloch Court and residents of Vernon and Coldstream for praying for my 24-year-old grandson David Oaten. He is a former resident, and attended Coldstream Elementary and graduated from Kal Secondary. On Aug. 23, I had a phone call saying David was in Surrey Memorial Hospital and in a coma. He remained in a coma until Sept. 11, when he woke up. He went home Sept. 13. He has learned to walk again but can no longer use his cell phone. I thank all of you for the prayers you said for David ellie Stark wake up On Sept. 18 at about 4:30 p.m, I attempted to cross 48th Avenue at 25th Street in a clearly marked and defined crosswalk. I counted 17 — yes 17 — vehicles that made absolutely
ing what items might be considered for the necessary budget reductions. Busing was one of the topics discussed and input was received from several parents (most suggested a charge for busing) but, despite the fact that this meeting was well advertised, the session was simply not well attended and may not have reflected the view of the majority of parents. I believe we can demonstrate that the board is constantly communicating with parents and, finally, parents are always welcome at our monthly public meetings and the door is never “locked.” School boards have been in a cost reduction mode for at least the last eight years. During the last two years, we have been faced with almost $4 million in cost reductions largely resulting from rising no attempt to stop and let me cross. One lady even waved at me when I was standing there waving my cane at people trying to get their attention. Open your eyes people. When you see someone standing waiting to cross at a marked crosswalk, you are required by law to stop. It isn't that hard to do and it doesn't take that much of your precious time either. Finally, a gentleman in a white pickup truck did stop. Thank you sir and others finally noticed that I wanted to cross the road. Duh, I wasn't standing there for my health people. I had places to go. Are people here in Vernon so full of themselves that they can't take the 30 seconds or a minute out of their day to let someone cross the road? Yes, I drive my car almost everywhere I go, but had dropped off my car for service and was walking to another destination. I know for some people it has been a while since they read a driving manual, but some things don't change and you just remember as being the right thing to do, like stopping for a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk. lorna Young
utility/maintenance costs and from the downloading of costs that would have normally been the responsibility of the ministry. To meet these demands for the current school year, the district needed to find $1.5 million. To retain as many of the student services as possible, the major reductions were primarily confined to the other district departments, including the transportation department. In terms of the transportation budget, the decision was made to enforce the 2.4-kilometre walk limit. This walk limit has been in the district for many years and, when the resources were available, it was seldom enforced. The 2.4-kilometre walk limit is among the shortest in the province. In some districts, it is up to nine kilometres. It is unfortunate that Mr. Lee has not been in a position to take advantage of the opportunities that the district and trustees have made available for parent involvement. I can certainly understand Mr. Lee’s concerns. He has obviously given this situation a great deal of thought and has offered a very interesting option. I truly appreciate that Mr. Lee took the time to share his concerns in such a meaningful manner. Bill Turanski, Board chairperson vernon School district

Rise in landfill fees dumped on richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Disposal fees are climbing at local landfills and that has heightened concerns about illegal dumping. The Regional District of North Okanagan board has adopted the municipal solid waste management bylaw and it will see the minimum tipping fee at the Greater Doug Dirk Vernon, ArmstrongSpallumcheen and Lumby landfills go from $3 to $5 by 2016. “By discouraging self-hauling, we don’t want to encourage them to do something else with it,” said director Doug Dirk of trash
being left in rural areas or at the end of deadend roads. The increased fee is also a concern for director Bob Fleming. “Given the frequency we see with illegal dumping, we want to keep it low because it’s more expensive to pick that stuff up,” he said. It was suggested by director Mike Macnabb that some people in areas without mandatory collection haul their personal garbage to the closest landfill because they don’t want to hire a private contractor. “I am a self-hauler because I had (curbside) collection and it was abysmal. They wouldn’t collect in the winter.” In Greater Vernon, there is no mandated curbside collection in Coldstream and the electoral areas. Minimum fees at the Cherryville and
Kingfisher transfer stations would go from $3 to $4. “People recycling so much and they go there with just two bags. They may say it’s $4 and they may decide not to recycle,” said director Eugene Foisy, adding that a higher fee could discourage recycling. RDNO staff insist there is a need for the higher fee. “We need to cover scale maintenance and labour,” said Nicole Kohnert, manager of regional engineering services. Director Rob Sawatzky, who hauls his own trash to the landfill, doesn’t believe the new fees will stop people from using the service. “It’s so much cheaper (than curbside collection). The costs are one-third less even if you include mileage,” he said.

Back Pain Effectively Treated At Kelowna Clinic
Run better late than never Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
The delayed startup of school due to the teachers’ strike caused students across B.C. to miss the annual Terry Fox run in the schools. Some have since taken place, but organizers remind those who haven’t yet, that it’s never too late to continue Fox’s legacy. “Just because the national Terry Fox school run day (Sept. 24) has passed doesn’t mean that there isn’t still time,” said Donna White, Terry Fox Foundation provincial director. “Any time between now and the end of June next year is good.” With schools not getting back in session until Sept. 22, White says obviously teachers couldn’t be expected to organize the school run in just two days. Yet many schools have since hosted runs – for example, Hillview kids ran Sept. 26 while BX and Silver Star elementary students were making laps in their school fields Friday. “Students were asked to earn a toonie and bring it in to support the cancer foundation,” said BX principal Tyler Galenzoski. But those schools that have not yet been able to participate are reminded that it is never too late. “We’re even encouraging events in April,” said White. “April is a great tie-in as that’s when Terry started his run.” It was April 12, 1980 when Fox dipped

It is being used increasingly by orthopedic surgeons to stabilize their patients’ conditions and create longer lasting results and it has been used as an adjunct in my office for the past five years with success rates of up to 91%. This treatment is called Shockwave therapy (or ESWT) and while it was initially developed to break up kidney stones, it has been used for the past 20 years to effectively break up scar tissue, restore the function of the muscle and promote new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. It is effective on many conditions including (but not limited to) back, foot, and arm pain. Results are often experienced within a few visits; treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

While his dream of a cure is still being fought for, it’s likely that if Fox had been diagnosed today, doctors may have been able to save his leg. “Most people diagnosed with that form of bone cancer do not lose limbs, some do, but not all,” said White. But still, the marathon continues in the fight against the disease which has touched so many people in its many forms. “Cancer itself is 200 different diseases we’re dealing with,” said White.

One third of the population suffers from chronic back pain, which impacts everything from quality of life to relationships and careers. Why is chronic pain so difficult to treat? First, each painful episode creates inflammation and scar tissue. Scar tissue has only 70% the strength of normal tissue, making it prone to re-injury. Scar tissue is not flexible, so with every movement comes more inflammation and scar tissue, leading to recurrences of back pain. Second, scar tissue alters the functioning of surrounding joints, reducing the nutrition getting to the joints (a major contributor to disc degeneration and joint arthritis).

Alarm checks key to fire safety Morning Star Staff
Fire Prevention Week runs between today and Saturday, and the Vernon Fire Department is urging everyone to test their smoke alarms monthly. If you’re like many people, you may not even remember. Smoke alarms have become such a common feature of Canadian households that they’re often taken for granted, and aren’t tested and maintained as they should. “However, working smoke alarms are a critical fire safety tool that can mean the difference between life and death in a home fire,” said Keith Green, Vernon fire chief. “According to the non-
“Smoke alarms can cut the chance of dying in a home fire in half.” — Keith Green
profit National Fire Protection Association, smoke alarms can cut the chance of dying in a home fire in half. Meanwhile, NFPA data shows that home fires killed more than 2,300 people in 2012; many of these deaths could have been prevented with the proper smoke alarm protection.” Green says he’s seen the devastating effect of fire first hand – burn injuries and the loss of homes and posses-
sions. “What’s even worse is witnessing a family’s anguish after a loved one has been killed in a fire. It’s heartbreaking,” he said. “My sincere hope is all Vernon residents will make sure there are working smoke alarms installed throughout their homes. These simple steps can help make a lifesaving difference, and prevent the potentially life-threaten-
ing impact of fire.” Vernon firefighers are teaming up with Domino’s Pizza to deliver door-to-door fire safety awareness as part of Fire Prevention Week. On Monday and Wednesday, some Vernon residents ordering from Domino’s Pizza may also receive a visit by a firefighter who will check household smoke alarms to ensure they are in good working condition.

Koreans boosting curling profile GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Eun Jung Kim’s South Korean rink caught a flight from a bonspiel in Sweden, arriving in Vernon just in time for the $63,000 Prestige Hotels & Inns Curling Classic Thursday afternoon. Still weary from travel, Kim, supported by third Kyeong Ae Kim, second Seon Young Kim and lead Young Mi Kim, stumbled through her opening draw against Edmonton’s Chelsea Carey, scraping out a 6-4 win when Carey missed on her final stone. Somewhat rested by Friday morning, the Korean foursome forced early handshakes with a 10-0 thrashing of Kamloops’ Amanda Russett. They racked up a five-ender in the fifth end, and put the game out of reach with a single steal in six. They went to 3-0 Friday night, fending off a late charge by Nanaimo’s Kesa Van Osch to earn a 6-5 win. Kim and Winnipeg’s Kerri Einarson and Regina veteran skip Michelle Englot were the only remaining undefeated rinks heading into action Saturday. Using her limited English, the 24-year-old Kim chuckled: “Absolutely perfect,” knowing they were any but in their opening draw. Patti Wuthrich, a former Canadian champion (back then, she was Patti Vande), has
been a coaching consultant with the Koreans for the past two seasons. “They were fortunate to win last night’s game (against Carey),” said Wuthrich, a native of Gimli, Man. “Today, they went out knowing they had to be a little bit more focussed. They were like robots; they played very well today.” With the 2018 Winter Olympics coming to Pyeongchang, Korea is looking to boost its curling portfolio. With just one club and two rinks throughout the entire country, they have some serious work ahead of them. Kim entered the sport eight years ago through a high school curling program. She and her teammates have been touring World Curling Tour events the past three seasons, including a 2012 entry in the Vernon spiel, to get playing time against world-calibre rinks. “It’s getting bigger,” said Kim, of the Korean curling scene. Preliminary play for the women’s draw wrapped up Saturday night. Playoffs go today, with the semifinals at noon and championships game at 3 p.m. In addition to CTRS (Canadian Team Ranking System) points, the winners pockets $7,500, runners-up collect $5,500 and thirdand fourth-place rinks each earn $4,000. Fifth through eighth take come $2,500.

New-look Cotter rink cruising at cashspiel GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
So far, so good for Vernon’s Jim Cotter at the $63,000 Prestige Hotels & Inns Curling Classic. Cotter and his slightly altered rink (Vernon’s Ryan Kuhn replaced Albertan John Morris at third this season) were 2-0 heading into their Saturday afternoon A-Event tilt against Vancouver’s Ken McArdle. The winner of that earned a berth in the final six of the triple knockout tournament. Playoffs go Monday, with the semifinals at noon, followed by the final at 3 p.m. The winner takes $7,500, with the second-place team earning $5,500. Third and fourth place finishers each collect $4,250. Along with long-time front enders Rick Sawatsky and Tyrel Griffith, Cotter opened the 16-team men’s draw Friday afternoon with a 7-3 win over Vernon’s Peter Nielson. Leading 5-3 after six ends, Cotter delivered an open draw for two to earn an early exit to the lounge. “It’s nice to get the early handshakes,” said Kuhn, who won the 2000 world junior men’s title alongside his brother Brad. Cotter then counted triples in the first and fourth ends

Asked what has been working for their rink so far, Kuhn replied: “It was a little bit of everything. Nothing was on the
money but everything was pretty solid. We’re always looking to do better.” Kuhn, 33, knows Cotter’s rink well, but has only teamed up with him once – in the Vernon cashspiel a few years ago. Cotter has asked Kuhn a number of times over the years to join their foursome, and this year the timing worked out. “It’s been busy with work and life and other stuff,” said Kuhn, a Westjet pilot. “It’s such a great group of guys. I’m just having a lot of fun. I love winning and they’re good at doing that.” Kuhn said the experience Cotter, Sawatsky and Griffith gained last year is invaluable. With Morris, they were runners-up in both the Canadian Olympic Trials (lost to Brad Jacobs) and the 2014 Brier (lost to Kevin Koe). “They have tons of experience,” said Kuhn. “I couldn’t ask for anything more. I feel very privileged to be asked and to be playing.” Meanwhile, Japan’s Yusuke Morizumi took on Edmonton’s Brendan Bottcher in the other A qualifier Saturday. Vernon’s Jamie Sexton (third James McKenzie, second Hugh Bennett, lead Rob Nobert) and Nielson (third Evan Brantter, second Kyle Duncan, lead David MacDonald) both fell to the C Bracket.

K
now the difference between Corey Perry and Katy Perry? Realize that Patrick Kane outpoints Evander Kane, no relation? If so, then you are fully qualified to win some sweet prizes in the inaugural Morning Star Hockey Pool. Deadline for the free online draft is Wednesday 4 p.m., when the 97th NHL season of play begins. They have added a Beat The Expert section to the pool.

entered into a draw for a special prize. The pool’s grand prize, however, is a 50-inch big-screen TV. Second prize is a recliner and third prize is a sound bar for surround sound. All three of the main prizes have been donated by City Furniture. The pool consists of 26 boxes. You simply pick one player or team from each box to fill out your team’s roster. There’s also a box featuring the seven Canadian teams. Pick the team you think will end up with the most points based on wins and losses. I would stick to the Montreal Canadiens. My beloved Oilers are still in rebuilding mode but will outpoint the Canucks. The pool is open to everyone 19 and over and can be found at www.vernonmorningstar.com (click on the Contests tab where you’ll be taken to the page to select and register your team). For the record, I started investing money in hockey pools 30 years ago. Haven’t kept track if I’m up or down, but I’m driving a 2006 Toyota Corolla with powerless windows so you do the math. It is believed that a group of Toronto lawyers started the very first hockey draft in 1976 for fun. A night out if you will. Nanaimo posties Tom Meek and Mark McQuilken, former Keg fastball teammates of mine, read about the attorneys and began what is believed the first pool on the Island. I first tossed $25 into a playoff pool there in 1980. “I was taking business courses at Malaspina College and both McQuick and I read the same article and figured we could get something started here,” said Meek. The idea soon spread around town and there were three or four hotel pubs running pools where entry fees were as high as $1,500. If you were good, and lucky, hockey drafts were a decent part-time job. Women in Manitoba, who weren’t allowed in the men only pools, started their own. I interviewed school teacher Katie Cook one year about how she

jumpstarted a ladies only pool because her hubby wouldn’t allow her and her friends to enter his. Your best strategy at the draft table is to let your fingers do the talking and pick the No. 1 slot. They used to split up Wayne Gretzky into two players. Gretzky goals. Gretzky assists. In today’s lower-scoring era, there are only a handful of players capable of pocketing 100 points so you want a pick in the top-five. Of course, injuries play a big factor as does luck. Even Pat Lett won money in a playoff draft last season. And as we begin the incredible nine-month hockey season, let’s remember the former greats like Gordie Howe, who is in ailing health. Hockey broadcaster Harry Neale, speaking at the B.C. Junior Hockey League’s 1995 all-star game banquet in Penticton, mentioned how he pretended to be Howe playing street hockey as a kid in Sarnia, Ont. Neale had the honour of coaching Gordie with the World Hockey Association New England Whalers. Said Neale: “Howe turned 50 and led our team in points, scoring and powerplay points, but not shorthanded goals because I wouldn’t let him play when we were shorthanded...He had an absolute love of the game and he kept those burning desires going until 54. He loved to practise; he never took a day off.”
Stein skates with Red Wings
Retired Fulton phys-ed teacher Marty Stein, a Red Wings’ scout, played in Detroit’s annual Alumni and Celebrity game in Traverse City during training camp. Stein, a UBC Thunderbird grad, wore No. 8 on Team Red and had a blast. Former Vernon Viking teammate Ken Holland played net for Team White. “We beat Ken’s team 12-8,” said Stein. “Ken stood on his head. Even he was laughing on how the puck just seemed to hit him. My linemates were Kirk Maltby and Joe Kocur. Not bad company.” Team Red also had Jiri Fischer and head coach Mike Babcock, while Team White boasted d-men Jeff Finley (Vernon product), Mark Howe and Chris Chelios.

Carson Labrecque led all tacklers with 11 and Ben Hladik returned from injury to record eight. The Panthers host the Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops on Friday, 2 p.m., at Grahame Park. Meanwhile, in junior varsity action Wednesday afternoon at Grahame, the host Fulton Maroons fell 28-14 to Valleyview. Tied 14-14 at the half, the Maroons struggled offensively against the wind after the break. A few missed tackles allowed Valleyview to pull ahead. Ethan Eisenhauer, on a two-yard plunge, and Caden Doyle, snaring an eight-yard toss from Ike Olson, accounted for Fulton’s offence. Olson went 13-22 for 168 yards and two picks. Doyle compiled 108 yards on eight catches, and Eisenhauer led the ground assault with 40 yards on 16 touches. “We had a good first half and competed well,” said head coach Mike Scheller. “We moved the ball quite well in the first half, however, we had trouble running the ball in the second half and that slowed us down.” Cole Hunter paced the Maroon defence with eight tackles, while Hunter Kreiger and Logan Emes each supplied four. Quinn Miller earned a sack, and Doyle an interception. “We are too susceptible to giving up the big play,” said Scheller, of the defence. “We had opportunities to shut them down and we gave up too much yardage due to missed tackles.” The junior Maroons visit the Mount Boucherie Bears in West Kelowna Wednesday.

Centennials stuff Snakes Morning Star Staff
The shot count and scoring chances were there, but the end result was not for the Vernon Vipers Friday night in Merritt. Vernon outshot the host Centennials 38-22, and generated at least eight odd-man rushes, but they couldn’t solve netminder Johah Imoo in a 4-0 loss before 873 B.C. Hockey League fans. “I saw the compete level was better,” said Vipers’ head coach Mark Ferner. “We had opportunities, no question. And we didn’t give them many scoring chances. “That’s a tough place to play in. Our kids worked hard, but we needed some key saves and didn’t get them.” Merritt, tied for the Interior lead with Penticton and West Kelowna at 4-1, clicked twice on the powerplay, one by second star Gavin Gould (1+2), the other from third star John Schiavo. Imoo, named first star for his 28-save effort, left the game in the final minute of the second period after tweaking a leg muscle in going cross-crease to rob Liam Coughlin on a back-door play. Anthony Pupplo kept the clean sheet with 10 saves. Jarrod Schamerhorn had 18 stops for Vernon, who are last in the Interior at 2-3-0-1. The Snakes entertained the 1-4 Cowichan Valley Capitals Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. Ferner is willing to be patient for now, and wants to give his players a chance to prove themselves before making any roster changes. “I came here not knowing any of the kids,” he said. “My job is to start making them better. There’s no quick fix here. We just have to be patient. But I don’t care where you played last year, you have to buy in.” Meanwhile, in KIJHL play Friday night in Armstrong, the host North Okanagan Knights fell 5-2 to the Columbia Valley Rockies.

The Rockies (1-5) racked up four unanswered goals en route to their first win of the season. Ryan Lawson scored shorthanded, on the powerplay and again at even strength to lead the Columbia attack. Sean Emmerson bagged a shorty for the 2-5-0-2 Knights, who got a late powerplay single from newcomer Zackari Andrusiak. Brody Nelson made 25 saves for the win. Brady Lenardon was relieved by Mitch Profeit (19 saves) after allowing four goals on 10 shots. The Knights visit the Princeton Posse (2-3-1-2) Wednesday.

An owl performs in Grouse Mountain’s Birds in Motion show. just have time for a sampling.” She’s right. Before I know it, we’re off to our next cultural venue. Granville Island is a mecca for the arts. Performers, theatre and exhibits eclectically fuse with tasty treats and creative works. We meander the boardwalk, peak into galleries, then board an Aquabus Ferry, for a False Creek tour. It’s a grand finale to our sister sojourn and one that provides us with a different perspective of this city we call home. Sue Fisher, a close colleague and long-time friend, is my second sight-touring bud. Now, retired, it’s time for fun and excitement, which we find on Vancouver’s North Shore. “We can do it!” I say dubiously, as we wobble over the walkway. “Tourists have been crossing this for years.” Since 1889, the Capilano Suspension Bridge has been raising heart rates with its sensational sights. After traversing the
span that hangs 70 metres above the raging river, we’re privy to the Treetops Adventure, a compilation of seven forest-enshrouded boardwalks. Although these are both adrenaline secretors, it’s the Cliffwalk, that really gets our pulses pounding. The cantilevered platforms, narrow walkways and rock-hugging stairs,
Suspension Bridge, and enjoy a hot bevie in the Summit Lodge Tea House. The nearby Vancouver Lookout is the perfect place to finalize sightseeing. With the clouds now dispersed, we have a 360-degree panorama from this observation deck. Historical Gastown, lively Coal Harbour, lush Stanley Park, the sapphire Pacific and beyond - all the way to the Olympic Peninsula that fringes the horizon. “It’s a beautiful city to live in,” Brent says, while we take in the view. “And it’s a great place to be a tourist in your own town,” I reply.

BC# 3646-6
B.C. - A few months ago, my husband and I took our grandson, Keegan, to a few Victoria attractions and he loved being a tourist in his own town. Well, now it’s my turn. And as a Vancouverite, the options seem endless. I decide to stretch the sight must-see’s into a three-day-long extravaganza, and instead of going solo, ask a few of my favourite people to join me. The first is my sister, a life-long artist, who is the perfect sidekick for teaching me about the city’s culture. “Let’s check out the Vancouver Art Gallery,“ Katherine suggests. “Or maybe the Museum of Anthropology at UBC.” We start with the MOA. Sunshine filters into the Great Hall and highlights a number of Northwest Coast installations. We admire Salish carvings, Kwakwaka’wakw houses and Haida totems. Steps beyond is The Raven and the First Men, a sculpture by Bill Reid. And adjacent are two other galleries; Without Masks, a collection of intriguing Afro-Cuban artworks, and the Multiversity Galleries, where 10,000 objects are displayed. “It’s mind-boggling,” I say, while attempting to absorb it all. “Don’t even try,” my sister advises. “We
also assure one hairraising canyon view! Stunning vistas are also provided on the nearby Grouse Mountain Skyride. While soaring above the evergreens, we drink in the city scene. And soon after disembarking at the peak, have more adventures to choose from. Heli-tours, paragliding, grizzlies, oh my! Fortunately, the latter have their living quarters in a spacious five-acre playpen. In the adjacent field other wildlife stars are taking flight. While die-hard rock climbers and hikers head off to cliffs and trails, we scout out the two nearby interpretive walks, waddle our way over the Sky Pilot

Recreational market rejuvenated Graeme Corbett Business Editor
It wouldn’t have looked out of place on the former MTV reality show Cribs. That one where celebrities welcomed TV cameras into their posh homes to show how fabulous their lives were. And it very well could take a celebrity, pro athlete or some other well-to-do entrepreneur to pony up the $3.2 million asking price for Vernon’s latest recreational property listing. Built this year on a 66-foot Okanagan Lake lot by Woodstyle Homes, the newest offering by Calgary-based developer Roots and Wings is the first of three high-end projects the firm has planned for the area. The next one is to be built on the adjacent lot. Carla Dahlen, the listing realtor with Century 21 Executives, says it’s one of several indicators showing all sectors of the housing market are on the upswing. The price of a single-family house has risen three per cent from last year, and inventory is down 10 per cent in the same time frame. In the high-end market, four properties above $2 million (one was $5.5 million) have sold in the past year, which is nearly triple the previous year. Dahlen said Kelowna has experienced more activity in real estate than Vernon, but added there is normally a ripple effect that spreads out to smaller communities. Dahlen notes the North Okanagan has several benefits over the Kelowna market. She estimates a property similar to the one in Okanagan Landing would list for more than 10 per cent higher, which could mean several hundred thousand dollars saved. Given the similar amenities available in each city, she believes Vernon is well-placed in the recreational market. “Thirty minutes from the airport - lots of people are looking for that,” said Dahlen. “They want to be able to fly in, get to their house, relax and enjoy. Vernon’s really coming into its own. We have everything you need right here.” When asked who would realistically buy the lakefront property, Dahlen replied: “Alberta and Saskatchewan are the main driving forces behind some of the recreational properties. Plus, we’re
finding the U.S. market is rising.” With its floor-to-ceiling windows, expansive living room area and riser-less staircase, it is impressive just walking around the Okanagan Landing house. But it isn’t until you notice the fine details – such as the built-in fridges and freezers, one-touch cupboards and sound-dampened entertainment room – that it really does offer all the creature comforts. Listed at 5,122-square-feet, you would expect to have your eyes assaulted by some monstrosity perched along the windy roadside. Yet the bulk of the building is below road grade, leaving just the top two floors in view. The massive structure boasts four bedrooms, plus office, four full bathrooms, 2.5 baths, two laundry rooms, media room, family room and living room. There are four decks, three of which overlook the lake. There is also a dock with a 7,000-pound boat lift. One feature of the listing is it includes a oneyear concierge package from Portico Property Management. Portico, owned by husband-wife duo of Adam and Adrienne Harris, specialize in vacant properties, including estates and trusts. They handle everything from snow maintenance to weekly property inspections to stocking the wine bar before the owner drops by for the weekend. “It’s anything from delivering a car to the airport to buying groceries before they comes out,” said Adrienne. “We take care of everything. Boats in the water, all gassed up. The patio furniture is out, you name it. We’re a one-stop shop for the client. We work with over 140 subcontractors in Vernon.” Donovan Imbeau, of Woodstyle Homes, said working with an open-minded developer on a high-end home was a treat. “It’s those new little cutting-edge things you don’t normally see in the average home,” said Imbeau. “You’re working with somebody with a little more of a budget so you can do some of those fun features. It was a matter of getting a feel of what she wants and working through the process with her.”

Prospera considering merger options with Westminster Savings Morning Star Staff
The boards of directors of Prospera Credit Union and Westminster Savings Credit Union recently initiated merger discussions. “Both credit unions were founded with the express purpose of helping members achieve their financial goals and both have established deep roots in the communities they serve over the past seven decades,” said Prospera chairperson Angela Kaiser. “Member and community focus is the cornerstone of both credit unions’ success. We believe joining forces will build
on our strengths and long-standing success to create an even stronger and better credit union equipped with the resources to innovate and invest in expanding our products, services and technology solutions.” Added Westminster Savings chairperson Bill Brown: “We are very excited about the potential of this partnership as we share similar beliefs, cultures, values and a strong commitment to putting the needs of our members first.” Brown said the two firms are in the early stages of exploring a merger and beginning the necessary due diligence in accordance with the Credit Union Incorporation Act and reg-
ulatory guidelines. The process will culminate in the analysis of a business case to ensure that a merger would be beneficial to members, employees and local communities. If both credit unions agree to pursue a merger, the next step would involve seeking consent from the Financial Institutions Commission of the proposed amalgamation agreement as per the Credit Union Incorporation Act as well as approval from their memberships early in the spring of 2015. The institutions jointly represent more than 118,000 members, 800 employees and assets under administration exceeding $6.3 billion.

Consider your options
hen financial markets become a little uncertain – some investors get nervous. Uncertainty and nervousness can cause some investors to flee equities and jump into fixed income investments that they feel will provide more certainty and protection from investment losses. But, there may be a price for playing it too safe financially, like the loss of buying power from ignoring opportunities to keep your investments growing. The GIC refugees – Canadians have $500 billion in Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs). Safe, yes, but socalled safe investments earn low income. GICs are actually a no-interest option, Andy Erickson especially when you factor in taxes and inflation. So, by parking too much of your non-registered portfolio in locked, fixed income investments, you could lock yourself out of the opportunity for growth. Look at it this way – the real return on an average oneyear GIC was actually negative every single year over the last decade while, during the same timeframe, the 10-year return for Canadian equities on the S&P/TSX Index was 7.97 per cent. The savings account sideliners – In fluctuating markets, some investors choose to sit on the savings account sidelines, which at least partially contributes to the fact that there is currently $670 billion sitting dormant in Canadian savings accounts. That is roughly $200 billion more than average. By

Pythian Grand Chancellor to visit Coldstream Lodge Morning Star Staff
Since 1896, the Knights of Pythias Coldstream Lodge #18 has been meeting for friendship, charity and benevolence — the distinguishing principles of the fraRoger Murray ternal order. Its membership has been dwindling over the years, but it is still going strong and new members are
welcome at any time. This week, the Knights welcome Pythian Grand Chancellor Roger Murray of Penticton, who will make his official visit to the lodge on Thursday evening at the group’s regular meeting at the Schubert Centre. “Promoting a program of ‘challenge,’ he is challenging the membership to stretch their commitment to the order with carrying out concerns for additional membership, workings in the communities in support of charities and com-
munity goodwill,” said Tony Kuhn, with Coldstream Lodge. “We are seeking the interest for membership of men from all walks of life and professions, regardless of race or religion.” The order does not seek to shape any man’s creed — Pythianism is defined as the practical application of religious and charitable principles of everyday life. For more information about the Knights of Pythias, please call Kuhn at 250-558-1050 or Fred Wernicke at 250542-6667.

Armstrong extends Irish ties Star Performer Strong Irish community ties could benefit the City of Armstrong. Council unanimously approved investigating the formation of a sister city relationship with Rathfriland, a village in Northern Ireland, similar in size (about 3,000 people). Rathfriland is also an agricultural community and the birthplace of Catherine Schubert, the first European woman to enter B.C. overland from Eastern Canada in 1862. Schubert moved to Armstrong with her husband, Augustus, and their children to a farm on Round Prairie Road – still in operation today – in 1882, and died in Armstrong in 1918. A memorial to Schubert stands in the city’s Memorial Park. “A sister city pairing would mean a global relationship with another community,” said Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper. “There is a lot of Irish heritage in Armstrong going back to Catherine Schubert. A lot of families tied to Armstrong are also tied to Ireland.” A heritage society in Northern Ireland contacted the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum in the 1980s to link Rathfriland with Armstrong as sister cities, but the idea was abandoned. In July, Andrew Peters, owner of a promotional company in Ireland, contacted the museum again to further explore the opportunity. A Skype date was held with JessieAnn Gamble and Maureen Karran from the museum and

Ireland’s Catherine Schubert, painted on the Schubert Centre, was the first European woman to enter B.C. overland, where she made Armstrong her home. Armstrong Heritage Society, along with Pieper, Patti Noonan of the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce and Armstrong deputy corporate officer Natalie Garbay. “Peters looked at the possibility of twinning with Kamloops, because that’s where the Overlanders (who headed west to search for gold) landed, but Kamloops is too big and we’re about
the right size,” said Gamble, who gave council a brief history lesson on Schubert and the prominent role she played in Armstrong’s history. Catherine Schubert (née O’Hare) left Ireland at 16 to become a servant to a wealthy family in Springfield, Mass. She met Augustus Schubert and the two married in 1855, moving to St. Paul, Minn. The couple moved to what is now Winnipeg
when Augustus got wind of the gold rush in British Columbia, and became part of the Overlanders group that went searching for gold. Catherine Schubert insisted she would not stay behind to look after three children, and accompanied the Overlanders. Pregnant when the trip west started in 1862, Catherine Schubert went into labour on a raft going down the Thompson

River. She gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Rose, in a First Nations village. Rose married twice, the first into the LeDuc family and the second time into the Swanson family, both prominent in Armstrong. Rose Swanson Mountain is named after Schubert’s youngest child. “Her Irish connection was very important to Catherine,” said Gamble. “If we do this (sister city relationship), my mind just goes crazy. “I can see all of us making a trip to Ireland, and I could see members of the Schubert and LeDuc families being involved.” Council will send a letter of introduction to the head of the governing body of Rathfriland, expressing interest in creating a sister city relationship. A letter of appreciation will also be sent to Peters for initiating contact and for any further assistance he can provide.

The tractors are modified to increase safety and speed but keep the lawn tractor look. With a few modifications, such as handle bar steering, lower suspension and pulley changes, these mowers can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h. Drivers are required to wear safety gear and the raceway is designed to be safe, fun and most of all, provide a great race experience for riders and spectators alike.

Manny was one of the tens of thousands of women, children and men who lost everything when tropical cyclone Yolanda smashed into the Philippines last November. Optometry Giving Sight was pleased to support the efforts of Third World Eye Care Society from Canada who mobilized volunteers and resources to visit the country in late January. Vernon optometrist Dr. Tanner Udenberg will visit a children’s hospital in Haiti on an eye care trip.
Optometrists set sights on challenge Morning Star Staff
A pair of local optometrists are doing their part to send the gift of sight to people in need. Dr. Tanner Udenberg and Dr. Meghan Ashton, along with the staff at Vernon Optometry, are taking part in the World Sight Day Challenge. During the month of October, they will be joining the campaign to help give the gift of vision to people in areas of need. Along with collecting donations all month, Vernon Optometry will be donating a portion of eye exams on Thursday, World Sight Day. Now in its seventh year, the World Sight Day Challenge is the largest annual global fundraising campaign to address avoidable blindness caused by uncorrected refractive error – simply the need for an eye exam and glasses. The campaign goal for 2014 is to raise $1 million globally. Through fundraising efforts last year, Vernon Optometry was able to provide funding for an eye exam and glasses for over 700 people in the developing world. These efforts assist the more than 600 million people in the world who are blind or vision impaired because they do not have access to an eye exam or glasses. The campaign is run by global charity, Optometry Giving Sight.
“We at Vernon Optometry have supported Optometry Giving Sight for many years,” said Udenberg. “Preventable blindness is a solvable problem and we are proud to help give sight to those in need. We are thrilled to be contributing towards this year’s $1 million goal, which will improve the lives of many people.” Udenberg will also be volunteering on an eye care trip to a children’s hospital in Haiti in January 2015 (covering his own expenses). Just $5 can be enough to help provide an eye exam and a pair of glasses to someone living in an under-served community. Every contribution is meaningful.

LIVE WELL HEALTH TIP:
BRAIN HEALTH Boost Your Cognitive Function Are focus and memory a concern? It could be time to start feeding your brain with natural supplements to boost your cognitive abilities. Factors such as stress, age, and diet can affect cognitive function. Just like the rest of your body, your brain also needs certain nutrients to maintain and restore its cells. Come in and talk to our staff about these products. Omega-3 Oils Omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA (found in fish oils), plays a critical role in brain cell membrane health, which in turn improves the nerves’ electrical impulses or communication with each other, and therefore boosts overall cognitive ability.
Live well. Live organic.
Phosphatidylserine Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a natural nutrient found in the brain. PS is the major phospholipid in the brain where it plays a role in determining the integrity and fluidity of cell membranes. Healthy cell membranes support healthy brain functions such as memory, focus, and clarity.

Surgeons and medical staff at Vernon Jubilee Hospital will soon have a new piece of equipment to assist with abdominal surgeries thanks to $11,000 from Vernon’s Royal Canadian Legion. Referred to as a surgeon’s third arm, the stainless steel Bookwalter Retractor consists of 18 components with varying blade sizes to accommodate the size of organs or tissue to be pushed aside. “We are excited about this piece of equipment as one of our current retractors is being retired and urgently requires replacement,” said Assunta Shepherd, health services director at VJH. “VJH currently has three retractors in use and are used two to three times per week. Life expectancy is about 10 years for the Bookwalter.” A stainless steel ring holds open the incision to expose the part of the body being operated on, giving better access and a clearer visual field. Funds for the $11,000 piece of equipment were raised through the Vernon legion’s Poppy Campaign, which provides funding for veteran-related causes including special medical equipment, social and health-related services for veterans and seniors, low-rental housing, geriatric research, and bursaries for under-privileged youth. “We wanted to give where there was the most need,” said John Miller, legion president. The donation was facilitated by VJH Foundation, which allocates a portion of its fundraising budget to equipment. The legion’s annual Poppy Campaign runs from Oct. 31 to Nov. 11.

Skill training program unveiled Morning Star Staff
First Nations and remote communities across British Columbia will have access to skills training courses thanks to CLAC’s new Virtual Classroom Training System (VCTS). The Christian Labour Association of Canada, an independent union, recently opened the new VCTS at the union’s Langley Training Centre. “The system is a model for how
training can be delivered to remote communities,” says David Prentice, CLAC BC Director. “Our training centre will now offer a direct link to instructors at Thompson Rivers University and to remote job sites and communities around the province. These new initiatives will provide bright new opportunities for First Nations, rural, and remote communities across the province.”

If you can make it to New York you can make it anywhere. James Nicholls and friends made a 44-day, 5,874-km bicycle trip from Vernon to New York City in the summer and Nicholls has already started planning his next adventure. “I was thinking about going across Canada and my friend, François Harbec, who had already done that trip, suggested the United States,” said Nicholls, a dental lab assistant who started cycling in 2007. “I was overweight and my hobby was music so I wasn’t getting much exercise. I started slowly and worked up to one-week trips. There are great places to cycle around the area. Last year, I did more than 7,000 kilometres in the season.” Nicholls, Harbec, Jim Bremer and Trevor Bolze planned their route, pleased to find a lot of cycling trails along the way they wanted to go. They left Vernon July 4 for Vancouver, via Merritt to pick up Bremer, then back to Tonasket, Wash. to meet Bolze. Another friend, Carl Greenwood, also did part of the trip as did Harbec and Bremer, and Nicholls and Bolze

Everything was new and interesting. One thing I noticed was the further east we got, the older the houses were, from wood to brick to stone. The people we met were the highlight. They could see we were Canadian from our shirts and they were friendly and interested in what we were doing and that we were going to New York.” Nicholls also noticed a different lifestyle. “We went into a bike shop and there was a wall of guns, everything from hand guns to what I think must have been machine guns — I’ve never seen one before except in movies. There was also an abundance of fast food, much of it in gas stations. We’d go into a gas station and there would be a whole aisle of different kinds of doughnuts. You could tell that religion was very important there with an abundance of billboards featuring God and Jesus.” There were many highlights. “One day at the beginning of the trip in Washington, it was a hot day and we were at 2,300 metres elevation, we did 178 kilometres that day. We were really pushing. We came
to a rest stop and there was a motorhome stopped there. A woman came out with a big plate of cold raspberries for us and that was the best thing we ate on the whole trip. Another thing we were really pleased with was the paved bike trails, which we could see were well used. There were also many small towns geared to people who were cycling,” he said. “When we finally came to Jersey City, near the New York ferry, we came around a building and there was the New York skyline. That’s an image I’ll always remember. It didn’t seem real to me until then. I knew my wife, Alison, and our daughters, Jackson, 14, and Jamie, 12, were waiting for me in Battery Park. This was the longest I had ever been away from them. I could never have done this trip without their support and encouragement. We bike a lot as a family so they understood what I wanted to do. “I’m pleased with this accomplishment. It was one of those things I thought about and now I know I can do it.” The family spent time in New York, staying in a brownstone house and getting the feel of the neighbourhood and the city. Nicholls and his wife are already planning another bike trip, maybe to the French Riviera to revisit some places where they spent their honeymoon. For more information about the trip and photos and blogs from all the participants, see www.letour.us.

Converted to the mixed joys of cycling
oad biking is a popular sport but few are more enamored than my husband. As I write, he is off with his buddies, pedals furiously windmilling for hours on end. He will arrive home exhausted, shrouded in a cadaverous hue, only to inform me that he has had the best time ever. A man with a passion is a dangerous thing, dangerous because he feels compelled to share it with those he loves. In my case, that means I have been persuaded onto a bicycle.
Handling a lightweight road bicycle can be tricky. High speeds, thin wheels pumped up to impossible pressures, shoes locked into the pedals, twitchy low-rise handlebars, front wheels that love to turn sideways with the slightest imbalance, back wheels that are prone to skid out on corners, these features of a road bike all require mastery, and that skill comes from practice. It is a simple fact that the more you ride the more proficient you become, the less you ride the

more time you spend falling off. As I seldom ride, I know what it is like to hit the ground. When a human body protected by onion-thin lycra is launched from a moving bicycle, there is a predictable soft tissue outcome. In the lingo
of cyclists the resulting damage is referred to as a scuff, or even more endearingly as road rash. Whatever it is called, hitting the pavement is not a benign experience and a few crashes are enough to provide the memory bank with instant recall of the sights and sounds of sharp elbows, knees, hips and shoulders grinding along the highway. Nor is one likely to forget the subsequent date with a stiff brush where raw flesh is scrubbed clean to prevent the asphalt-impregnated road tattoo. Once
that remarkable experience is over it is a small matter of two weeks of stiff muscles and oozing sticky wounds.
I have not fallen off the bike this year and that is a milestone. Nevertheless, there are days when I wish my

Watching those amazing curlers at the Olympics or at our Vernon Cash Spiel might make one think that curling is a young person’s game. Curling is an exciting, challenging (yet easy to learn), fun and inexpensive winter activity and it is one you can easily take with you into your retirement years. A group of active senior curlers at the Vernon Curling Club are inviting the “over 50” crowd to a free “Give It A Try” open house Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to noon each day. “The open house is there for anyone who wants to get back in the game after some years away or those who want to come out and throw their first rock,” said Jim Skrenek, Curl BC director and member of the Vernon Curling Club. Curling is a sport that can be played by people of all ages, fitness levels and physical limitations. If you’ve got a bad back or knees, or even if you’re in a wheelchair, you use a delivery stick or take advantage of other modifications. “They have arranged for instructors to be on ice to help the visitors with their curling technique, with ice safety top of mind,” said Gail Andries, who joined the club after retiring here from Alberta. Phil Culbert, a club director, said the club will welcome participants to the open house with coffee, and will provide the equipment. “Just wear warm clothes that you can stretch in and bring clean running shoes and your enthusiasm to try the roaring game,” he said, adding that

the club will offer participants two free games. All leagues welcome new members. In addition to a competitive Friday league, the senior men have a drop-in league Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:15 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Three daytime ladies’ leagues welcome seniors: Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, Wednesday mornings and Wednesday and Friday afternoons. A stick curling league, open to men and women, takes to the ice Wednesday mornings. And for couples who want to curl together, there is a senior mixed league Friday afternoons.

Laser Therapy offers huge benefits for Pets Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that has been proven to be successful in treating post-surgical pain and many acute and chronic conditions. This non-surgical, drug free treatment works in a number of ways to heal injuries and manage pain. Laser therapy increases the release of endorphins (natural painkiller). Laser therapy decreases inflammation, which helps return tissue to a normal state. Therapeutic lasers work through a process known as photobiostimulation. The photos delivered by the light of the laser stimulate each individual cell to revitalize and reactivate its own healing processes through biochemical cascade of events. Inflammation and pain are reduced by increasing circulation at the injury site. With this photochemical reaction of the laser in the body, it increases blood flow to the tissues. This in turn promotes improved function in the growth, replication and repair of cells. The laser light itself is delivered through a non-invasive hand piece to the affected area. Your pet may feel gentle and soothing warmth. Treatment sessions only take minutes. Call us today to schedule a consultation to see if Laser Therapy could benefit your pet.

And now a group of students have been schooled in the art of fresco. Students enrolled last semester in Kim Ondrik’s Grade 6/7 Ozone class at Ellison Elementary School are one of the first classes in B.C. to not only learn about fresco painting, but have actually practised the art itself. Instructed in the process by Coldstream artist James Postill, the students have used fresco – executed by applying natural mineral pigments to freshly laid lime plaster while it is still wet – to paint wetland scenes on tiles for an outdoor mural now standing at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre. It’s been exciting to see these kids learn in three weeks, what took me three years to learn,” said Postill, whose own fresco mural can be seen at the entrance to the Vernon Community Arts Centre. “It’s a test of taking a medium and not only learning about it, but

artist James Postill (back left from centre) and the 2013-14 Grade 6 and 7 class at ellison elementary school show the tiles they painted for the wetlands fresco mosaic mural at the allan Brooks nature Centre. jumping in and actually applying it.” Students began the process by troweling a rough layer of plaster made with lime and sand onto their tiles and tracing out their designs on them, some of which joined up to make a cohesive picture. Several days later, when they were ready to paint their designs, they troweled on a smooth layer
of plaster, and using the pigments they had ground by hand, they painted their pictures on it. “We met James initially at the wetlands near Ellison to get some ideas,” said Ondrik, adding the painting process came soon after. “I was skeptical at first as there seemed to be too many steps. I thought they would lose interest, but the students loved the process
and the science of fresco. Many were engaged and the kids really connected with James for his gentleness and lack of judgement.” Students involved in the project agreed with the challenge of painting the mural, but said it was worth it seeing the results. “I liked sketching and seeing everyone’s drawing style,” said student Kloe Kurbis, while fellow stu-
dent, Taelor Deere, said it was fun to do a different kind of art using a nature as the subject. Others found the process rewarding towards their selfesteem. “James let me get out my inner artist. Basically, I gave up wanting to be perfect and that helped me get my confidence,” said Cole Hutchinson. “I found the process fun, working with James, and frustrating at times, but he didn’t take it out on us,” added Mason Marquardt. For Postill, the support of the school, the students and the Allan Brooks Nature Centre was key to bringing the concept to life. The project was made possible by grant funding from Art Starts in Schools, awarded through the B.C. Arts Council, and sponsorship from Tolko Industries Ltd, who donated $1,200 towards purchasing materials and erecting the mural. “We are pleased to support this unique school project and to raise awareness of our local wetlands,” said Don Hanson, communications manager with Tolko. “The message aligns with Tolko’s commitment to responsible environmental performance, and we’re happy that the artwork will be on permanent display for the community to enjoy.” The mural can now be seen on the east side of the Allan Brooks Centre, overlooking the pagoda and pond.

artistic director Simone Orlando. “Bringing our organizations together for a joint event gave us the opportunity to showcase the strength of the arts here in the Okanagan,” said Rosemary Thomson, OSO music director. “We have such a vibrant community filled with great performing arts. All of us have some very exciting performances in our upcoming seasons.” This season the Deloitte Masterworks Series will see the OSO performing some of Thomson’s favourite orchestral masterpieces. The orchestra will also share the stage with some extraordinary guest artists.
“Rhapsody in Blue, Midsummer Night’s Dream and Haydn’s Creation are just some of the beautiful pieces we will present this season,” said Thomson. “Our own Fish on Five Quintet will help us celebrate the holidays and Quartetto Gelato will take us on a world tour with music from around the globe.” The OSO continues to expand its programming to include young listeners and performers with its new youth orchestra, chorus, family matinees and popular education series. “We have many wonderful offerings for our youngest listeners,” said Thomson. “This
season we will end with our OSO Chorus joining us on stage. Our 100-person choir is already rehearsing for our April performance, Creation. The OSO’s 55th season opens at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Sunday, Oct. 19 with Rhapsody, featuring renowned pianist Ian Parker.

Denzel gives his hard stare
R
The equalizer
FOR ADVANCE TICKETS GO TO
obert McCall (Denzel Washington) is attempting to leave his old life behind him. He lives a solitary existence where his only friends come in the form of co-workers at the hardware store and patrons of an all-night diner he frequents. Teri (Chloe Grace Moretz) is a very young prostitute who works for the Russian mafia and wants to get out of the life, but feels she has nowhere to go. After Teri is brutally assaulted, McCall takes it upon himself to make things right Taylor and Howe on Teri’s behalf. When this justice involves returning to his old ways, McCall ends up facing down an army of Russian gangsters and discovers their influence is far reaching. Before it is all over, The Equalizer will become a one-man wrecking crew, or die trying. We say, “Good acting, clever action, silly plot; not great but not terrible either.” TAYLOR: I apologize for the wishy-washy nature of the previous sentence. The Equalizer is a film we’ve all seen before. Perhaps you even remember the TV show that spawned this film. I wasn’t bored at any moment during the film. I thought it was artistically captured. But we’ve all seen the “one-man wrecking crew” film dozens of times and The Equalizer does have the quintessential checklist: impossibly tough, old man beats up many baddies, gets shot several times, walks away from explosions in slow motion, nary a cop nor doctor in sight. Yet, mostly due to the performances of Washington and especially head baddie Nikolai (Marton Csokas), I still enjoyed this film. Allow yourself to suspend your disbelief for this one, if you’re in the mood for some vengeance. HOWE: If you want a vengeance movie go see A Walk Among the Tombstones instead. It’s a far superior storyline to this, but if you want the big explosions, chases and over-the-top killings, this is the movie to go see. Washington is fine and moody as always. The problem is I don’t see him taking down 30 or 40-plus people in a movie. Now Stallone or Willis, that’s a different matter. If they had toned down the killings just a tad it would have felt a little more realistic, a bit like the Jack Reacher movie last year. TAYLOR: I didn’t think Jack Reacher was realistic, but perhaps it was a bit more plausible than The Equalizer. I agree wholeheartedly that A Walk Among the Tombstones is a superior film, in every way. On a side note, why are all the bad guys in films these days Russian?

Arts On the western front
T
he western genre is not as popular as in the early and middle decades of the last century. But it continues to provide a rich mine for stories of adventure that are often as compelling as any other tales in any other genre. In fact, the conventions of the genre most often play out today in deep space—the only difference is the setting. The Englishman’s Boy (1996) by Guy Vanderhaeghe, a fine Canadian writer, is a cinematic tour de force Peter Critchley that brilliantly juxtaposes Hollywood in the 1920s with one of the most bloodiest, brutal events of the Canadian West—the Cypress Hills Massacre in 1873. The western story focuses on a boy left stranded when his English employer dies of fever. It tells how he joins a posse chasing Indian horse thieves up into Canadian territory and the grim slaughter that unfolds at the Cypress Hills. Fifty years later, the boy, named Shorty McAdoo, is a grizzled bit player in pioneer Hollywood and draws the eye of a movie mogul intent on creating an epic western around him, in the tradition of his hero, D.W. Griffith. This tale of Hollywood is told by young screenwriter Harry Vincent, a scenarist from Saskatchewan hired and sent off by the movie mogul, Damon Ira Chance, to get Shorty’s story. The Englishman’s Boy, winner of the Governor General’s Award for Fiction in 1996, possesses the sweeping scope of an epic western and superbly evokes a sense of time and

place for each of the settings. The stark beauty of the prairies and unprecedented extravagance of Hollywood rendered by the author provides a vibrant background for the vital action, adventure and intrigue of both stories in this unforgettable novel. But it is essentially the story of two ruthless central figures, an ironic tale of power and greed and the irresistible pull of dreams that arise from the haunting story of a young drifter. Deadwood (1986) by Pete Dexter, an accomplished, talented author and the winner of the U.S. National Book Award for Paris Trout (1988), is a dazzling novel of tone, scale, pace, mood, character with an unflagging sense of the dramatic and ironic. It is the story of the last days of Wild Bill Hickok and opens with the legendary gunman, and his best friend Charley Utter, riding into Deadwood, a wicked frontier settlement in the Black Hills. Wild Bill, aging and sick, approaches Deadwood with a premonition that he will die there. A few weeks later his premonition becomes true when he is shot in the back of the head by a madman named Jack McCall. Fortunately, Deadwood is mostly the story of Charley, his constant companion and an insightful man of extensive and varied experience. But is also traces the bizarre and fascinating stories and of McCall, Calamity Jane, the Bottle Fiend, the China Doll, the town’s whores and whoremasters, a preacher appalled with the sin and vice of Deadwood and his boy disciple who becomes a babbling, inadvertent prophet of civilizing forces that will alter the Dakota territory forever. These are just two of several remarkable western novels available at the Okanagan Regional Library www. orl.bc.ca.

Arts Reading has a local angle Submitted to The Morning Star
Two acclaimed B.C. writers come to Vertigo Voices Thursday to read from recent works. B.C. Book Prizenominated poet and English professor at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, Karen Hofmann will read from her first novel, After Alice. Released in April, After Alice has already received glowing reviews across Canada and has made a name for Hofmann as a novelist of depth and grace. Globe and Mail book reviewer Kerry Clare calls After Alice “one of the most interesting and exciting [novels] that I’ve encountered in ages.” The novel will be of particular interest to locals, as it takes place in the Okanagan, with a family orchard as the backdrop. It follows Sidonie von Täler after she leaves a life in academia to return to the small Okanagan Valley town that she had escaped in her youth for the lights of the big city. The family orchard has since gone to seed, and even decades later Sidonie still finds herself living in the shadow of her deceased sister Alice. As she gets down to work sifting through the detritus of her family’s legacy, Sidonie is haunted by memories of trauma and triumph in equal measure, and must find a way to reconcile her past and present while reconnecting with the family members she has left. Joining Hofmann will be poet Cornelia Hoogland, former artistic director of Poetry London and professor at the University of Western Ontario. Now based on Hornby Island, B.C.’s West Coast is a source of inspiration in all of Hoogland’s six books of poetry, three chapbooks, and her nonfiction work and plays. Hoogland will be reading from Woods Wolf Girl, a poetic rendering of Little Red Riding Hood. In this chilling contemporary re-telling one of the

Acclaimed writers Karen Hofmann, left, and Cornelia Hoogland read from their respective works at the Vertigo Voices event, Thursday at Gallery Vertigo. world’s most popular, and most retold, fairy tales, Hoogland allows us to see the world from various angles and perspectives, including the wolf ’s. Research for this book led Hoogland to Haida Gwaii and to Bella Bella on B.C.’s West Coast, as well as to the Rocky Mountains in Banff, Alta., to study
wolves and record their voices. Her concerns are ecological; her affections, huge and risky. Doors to Thursday’s Vertigo Voices open at 7 p.m. Readings begin at 7:30 p.m. at Gallery Vertigo, #1-3001 31st St. (upstairs). All are welcome, by donation. For more information, call (250) 503-2297.
Live Well
HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist SUSAN CARRIE
We take our hearing for granted but having a hearing problem can be a serious disability, hindering communication and causing feelings of isolation. Protecting your hearing is very important. Even a power mower has a decibel rating of 91. Other noise sources and their ratings include rock concerts (110), power saws and pneumatic drills (120), a fired gun (140). Use ear protection over 90 decibels. Australian government recently increased the excise tax on imported tobacco products again. Some tobacco manufacturers are lowering their prices by producing cheap cigarettes at half the price of premium brands. There’s a worry that cheaper prices will turn more young people on to the habit. The cold season is coming upon us soon & people ask us what really works for colds? Zinc lozenges may help. They don’t help prevent colds but may shorten the duration. Hand-washing is effective. Do it often. Pain relievers like acetaminophen and ibuprofen help you feel comfortable. Non-prescription antihistamine / decongestion combinations can also bring added comfort. If you have a child with lice, you can remove the eggs from the hair using a lice comb. This process will be made easier by treating the hair with conditioner first to make the eggs easier to remove. If you have a lice situation in your home, our pharmacists will be happy to advise on the best treatment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Leave your professional woes at work. Even the ones who love you the most will grow weary of tales of office politics. Devote your time to those you care about the most.
Hormones Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THEY BID WELL; YOU DEFEND BETTER Anita Roddick was an English businesswoman best known for being the founder of The Body Shop, which was one of the first to ban testing on animals. She said, “If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.” In most pursuits, if your opponent plays well, you must play better to succeed. That applies in this deal, where North and South bid well, but East could defeat their contract with excellent defense. What should East do when his partner leads the diamond king against four hearts? North’s four-diamond jump cue-bid was a splinter. It
showed four-card heart support, the values for (at least) game and at most a singleton diamond. East took the opportunity to show his diamond support with a double. South, of course, had no thoughts of a slam and signed off in four hearts. (A pass by South here would have been mildly encouraging, expressing some slam interest, but a hand not strong enough to drive the auction above game.) West leads the diamond king. East sees that there is no defensive club trick available. If his side has a trump trick, it isn’t running away. But if there is no trump winner, the defenders will have to take three spade
tricks immediately. This should make it clear to East that he should overtake the diamond king with his ace and shift to a spade -- but to which one? From J-x-x(-x) or Q-x-x(-x), lead low if you need two tricks; but lead high if you need three. East must lead the spade jack at trick two.

Helpers and Labourers (Construction Craft Workers) are at the top of the list of in-demand LNG occupations, with an anticipated demand of up to 11,800 Construction Trade Helpers and Labourers by 2018 based on five LNG facilities. To prepare for the growing demand, ITA accelerated the development of occupational standards for the Construction Craft Worker to ensure that post-secondary institutions could begin training British Columbians in early 2015. “Qualifying these training providers is one of the ways that ITA is responding to industry labour demands and ensuring that British Columbians have the right skills, in the right place at the right time,” said Gary Herman, CEO, ITA. “We are excited for the opportunities that the LNG sector could provide British Columbians and we are taking action to make sure that they’re the first in line for these jobs.” The Construction Craft Worker trade was recently announced as B.C.’s 48th Red Seal trade, meaning it meets the Canadian standard of excellence for skilled trades. Construction Craft Workers work primarily outdoors and their tasks include site preparation and cleanup, setting up and removing access equipment, and working on concrete, masonry, steel, wood and precast erecting projects. They handle materials and equipment, and perform demolition, excavation and compaction activities.
