Officer acquitted of charge MARTHA WICKETT Black Press
Hugs and tears followed Judge Anne Wallace’s decision Thursday in the Salmon Arm Law Courts. The provincial court judge acquitted Salmon Arm police officer Micah Chan of a charge of dangerous driving. Intense emotion in the courtroom was evident on the faces of the police officers present as well as Helen and Ian Eggen, parents of Courtney. Just before midnight on June 20, 2013, a white Chevrolet Cavalier driven by 21-year-old Courtney Eggen of Cherryville crashed into a parked dump truck in the Salmon Arm industrial park, killing her. Shortly after, a police cruiser driven by Const. Chan went off the road nearby, sliding backwards down an embankment. Chan was charged in December 2013 following an investigation by the police Independent Investigations Office, a civilian-led body that conducts investigations into police-involved
incidents that result in death or serious harm. Ian Eggen, who shook hands with Chan at the courthouse, said following the ruling that he and his spouse don’t blame Chan for their daughter’s death and they appreciated the judge’s in-depth decision. “I am relieved that he wasn’t guilty – that the court was very deliberate that he was not guilty,” said an emotional Ian Eggen.”We weren’t here looking for vengeance. We wanted information on what happened.” He said he considered this a great exercise of the legal system, in that police are held to the same standards as others. “We don’t blame him for our daughter’s death – she was at fault,” he said, adding that Courtney was probably an over-confident driver. The Eggens do, however, have suggestions for improvements. They would like to see more of an ongoing visible police presence, rather than “entrapment.” They would also like to see dashboard cam-

eras in all police cars, as well as time-stamping on all radio transmissions, so evidence is more detailed – whether it be used to prove innocence or guilt. Helen Eggen said she, too, feels no animosity. She emphasizes that Courtney was a good girl whose life was going well. She was taking pre-apprectice training to be an electrician and had a big test coming up the next day. “She wouldn’t have done anything to jeopardize it… In her life, things were good.” In a detailed ruling, Wallace went over the evidence presented. She acknowledged that the evening of June 20 had had a tragic outcome, and nothing that happened in the court case could take away the grief of Courtney’s family. She said the legal test of dangerous driving is whether the driving, viewed objectively but with all circumstances considered, is markedly different from what a reasonable, prudent person would do in the circumstances.

Most North Okanagan library branches are preparing for service cuts. Okanagan Regional Library has initiated a process to link services received to the amount of taxes a community pays, and as a result, expenditures will be trimmed at the Vernon, Lumby, Falkland and Cherryville branches. “There will be some reduction in service,” said Michele Rule, ORL communications manager, adding that the scope of the cuts will be known in about a month. “The board has said it will make any changes over a couple of years because it wants to lessen the impact on staff. We hope to do everything through attrition.” In Enderby, there has already been a decision to reduce student page time by two hours. “They were getting more services than they were paying for,” said Rule of Enderby. “The impact on branch services will be that staff are busier but it will not result in a loss of open hours.” The status quo will continue at the Armstrong and Oyama branches. “This means that for these branches, no changes to staff levels or hours are required at this time nor are there any expected additions to service,” said Rule. Improved service levels will be initiated at the Lake Country (Winfield) branch. “That will be up to the community,” said Rule when asked what upgrades could occur in Winfield. “We will consult with the community on what may be of interest.” Whether services are being reduced or being enhanced, Rule insists ORL administration is working with the unions representing employees. “We haven’t finished staffing level changes for those branches yet,” she said of Vernon, Lumby, Falkland and Cherryville. “There will be some changes but we don’t know what they are.”

Coldstream targets the elements Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Referendums and a pellet plant have left some Coldstream residents fuming. Approximately 50 people turned out for Thursday’s forum for the seven Coldstream council candidates at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. Work obligations kept candidate Glen Taylor from the forum as the O’Keefe Ranch general manager was scaring up support for the historic site. Along with questions about rail trail support, GMOs, aging infrastructure, other referendums, Aberdeen Road safety and what the future of Coldstream looks like, the water referendum and pellet plant dominated the evening. Aside from candidate Shane Hillman, who is a strident supporter of the plan, most of the candidates will be voting against the referendum. Incumbent Peter McClean admittedly dodged an answer of how he will vote on the $70 million borrowing referendum Nov. 15. “We do need to protect our community but at what cost?” said McClean, a 59-year-old husband of 34 years and father of three. Coun. Gyula Kiss, a retired geneticist who has dedicated his life to studying water options, urges the public to attend a presentation Tuesday at Okanagan College on the subject at 7 p.m. “I know that we need to have

Coldstream councillor candidate Shane Hillman speaks with incumbent Gyula Kiss during intermission of the Vernon and District Performing Arts Society forum Thursday evening. some improvements to the water system, however this is not the right plan.” Incumbent Pat Cochrane, a Vernon business owner, is “annoyed with the whole process,” and disappointed Coldstream’s request for a peer review of the plan was shot down by the Regional District of North Okanagan. “I think they are really underestimating how much our rates will go up,” said Cochrane. Incumbent Doug Dirk, a retired telecommunications worker, says the referendum will send a message
to the Interior Health Authority. “It was not the cheapest plan.” Lawyer Richard Enns, also an incumbent, says although the plan is being put forward by politicians who don’t even support it, their hand was forced by IHA to come up with some sort of plan. “The referendum is the opportunity for the public in the community to tell the provincial government that the process is wrong.” Taylor will not support the referendum, while Hillman urges residents to educate themselves. “I can’t understand why some-
one wouldn’t want to have the best, safest, quality drinking water possible,” said Hillman, a 32-year-old stay-at-home dad. Local air quality was another hot topic with the proposed pellet plant in Lavington, which will neighbour Tolko as well as the elementary school. Hillman admits that as a father, it is very concerning, but, “from a business ideal from Tolko, it’s an ideal spot.” Cochrane says the application has put pressure on Tolko, Coldstream’s largest taxpayer, to
improve the current situation. “The true issue is the existing air quality, a large portion of which is from the existing Tolko plant.” Others, who voted against Pinnacle Pellet’s rezoning application, are also keen to see existing air quality improved. “Unless the provincial standards are met, I don’t support it,” said Dirk, a Lavington resident. Kiss said his vote reflected that of the hundreds of residents concerned. “To me it’s representation. Most of the people who came worried about the health of their children.” Enns says the pellet plant will only make the situation worse. “The problem is you cannot improve the air shed by adding another pollutant.” McClean stands by his decision to approve rezoning so that the pellet plant process can proceed. “I was able to make a very, very, very tough decision. I believe that the decision is the correct decision.” Mayor Jim Garlick, who took to the podium to also answer questions, assures residents that if the pellet plant proceeds, it will improve the existing situation. “It is going to be with less emissions than we have today,” said Garlick, who also says he has a deal with IHA following the water referendum. The next forum for Coldstream candidates is Thursday at the Women’s Institute Hall from 7 to 9 p.m., hosted by the Coldstream Ratepayers’ Association.
Chan not guilty of dangerous driving Continued from A1 Added to that was the fact Chan is a police officer who was operating an emergency vehicle in discharge of his duty. An officer can exceed the speed limit, if the circumstances fall within MVA regulations. Although police officers who testified said they wouldn’t classify Chan’s actions as a pursuit because the driver of the white car was already driving at high speeds, Wallace did, referring to the wording of the law. “I find on the plain meaning of those words, Const. Chan began pursuing the white car
because it didn’t stop.” In a pursuit, the law states that an officer must decide if the need for action outweighs the risk to the public. Wallace said the high speed of the driver was “an obvious risk to the public.” She also said the evidence provided by the civilian witness does not establish whether the driver knew Chan was behind her – he did not activate his siren – nor is there an explanation of why the driver went through the stop sign so fast. “I cannot say if the driver of the white car was attempting to evade the police car or whether
her speed at Five Corners was part of a pattern of reckless driving.” Wallace also referred to data provided by expert witnesses that showed Chan slowed his vehicle at intersections as well as at corners in his drive between Five Corners and the crash site. She also referred to a Supreme Court of Canada decision that ruled it is the manner of driving which determines if it’s dangerous, not the consequence. She concluded her decision by stating, when she considered all the evidence, she was not convinced Const. Chan was driving dangerously, “and I acquit him.”

Online risks focus of presentations Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Parents, educators and professionals wondering what is really happening with kids online can find out at a couple of presentations this week. An education and awareness presentation on social media gets underway at Clarence Fulton Thursday at 7 p.m., and again at the Schubert Centre Friday at 9 a.m. (check-in Szoboticsanec is at 8:30). Jesse Miller, an international public speaker, will be delivering awareness-based education about those most vulnerable and to those who hope to facilitate change in a proactive manner. The session will go over social media trends, technologies and current concerns within B.C. Risky behaviour is the main concern for Vernon School District substance abuse counsellor Doug Rogers. “Risky behaviour takes place in many avenues and in many ways including the internet,” said Rogers, who routinely deals with inappropriate videos, words, threats and photos being used more widely via text messages and social media forums such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and more. One example: “People are purchasing and dealing drugs online.” The advent of social media, and the many downward spirals it can
take youth down, is something Rogers encourages parents to learn about. Particularly in the ever-changing and growing world of social media. “It’s something we really need to keep up with and we are a little behind the eight ball,” said Rogers. RCMP const. Kathy Szoboticsanec has seen a lot of presentations, but is particularly impressed with Miller’s. “He simplifies it,” said Szoboticsanec. As an example, she says Miller explains how a picture, or series of pictures or dialogue can capture a broad audience online, often without knowing. “This is what your parents, your teachers, your grandparents are seeing,” said Szoboticsanec, of some of the things kids will post online not realizing who is watching, whether it be family or strangers. Szoboticsanec routinely deals with kids in Grade 6 and 7, trying to curb risky behavior before the downward spiral starts. A lot of that involves social media, which is why she urges youth and parents to come out to listen to Miller. “Have a better understanding of what’s out there, what’s happening and what kids are doing.” There is also a mental health component, specifically to do with suicide, which is why the Canadian Mental Health Association and Mental Illness Family Support Centre Society are supporting the event along with the RCMP, Vernon School District and Vernon Teachers Association.

A Greater Vernon politician wants residents to hear all perspectives on the master water plan. Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, is concerned the Coldstream Ratepayers Association is holding a public meeting Tuesday entitled Why I’m Voting No to the Water Plan Referendum. “I’m going to ask them for a more balanced approach other than Maria Besso and Gyula Kiss (Coldstream councillors opposed to borrowing $70 million),” he said. “I hate having biased meetings especially when it’s presented as
information.” The Regional District of North Okanagan has held public meetings about the borrowing referendum Nov. 15, but Macnabb insists they haven’t been biased. “We’ve been cautious not to say vote yes or not. We’ve tried to give out information,” he said. The Coldstream Ratepayers Association could not be reached for comment. About 55 people attended an RDNO information meeting Oct. 28. “They came out because of negative press and they were mainly complimentary by the end,” said Zee Marcolin, Greater
Vernon Water manager. “Some people said it’s a lot of money but they will support it now that they understand what’s being proposed.” All Vernon mayoralty and councillor candidates have recently come out against the referendum, including those who supported the process as members of RDNO and the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee. “We spent $635,000 on the report over two years and if the mayoralty candidates haven’t read the report, what’s that indicative of?” said Macnabb. Some residents have suggested that the provincial government will provide funding for

District initiates school bus changes Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
In response to concerns from parents, the Vernon School District has made some changes to its busing routes. In an effort to save money from a cash-strapped budget, the district had recently cut several bus routes and began restricting busing to students who live more than 2.4 kilometres from their school. But when school started up again this year, Joe Rogers many parents expressed concern over safety issues, such as children having to cross busy highways or walking along Westside Road to get to a bus stop that is within 2.4 kilometres of their home. At Wednesday’s district board meeting, superintendent Joe Rogers said a number of changes have been made to drop-offs and bus stops. “We’ve made about 10 changes, including adding three to the Okanagan Indian Band, and Killarney Road South, and in town we’ve made some changes to pick-up and dropoff for Beairsto students,” he said. “Starting Tuesday, the stop will be moved from Middleton Road to Middleton Way.” A committee will be formed to take a look at busing, to see what

Resident electors will also be required to produce two (2) pieces of identification (at least one (1) with a signature). Picture identification is not necessary. The identification must prove both residency and identity. Non-resident property electors must produce two (2) pieces of identification (at least one (1) with a signature) to prove identity, proof that they are entitled to register in relation to the property, and, if applicable, written consent from the majority of property owners. Advance Voting Opportunities Advance voting will take place at the Municipal Office, 4144 Spallumcheen Way, Spallumcheen, BC, on Wednesday, November 5, 2014 and Wednesday, November 12, 2014 between the hours of 8:00 am and 8:00 pm each day. Mail Ballot Voting Opportunities The only electors who may vote by mail ballot are the following: (a) persons who have a physical disability, illness, or injury that affects their ability to vote at another voting opportunity; or (b) persons who expect to be absent from the Township of Spallumcheen on general voting day and at the times of all advance voting opportunities.

changes need to be made. “We have about 3,520 riders and we lost about 300 riders when we made the changes, but we haven’t had any complaints from those who are riding the bus,” said Rogers. “The ministry tells us we are not responsible for busing, but we spend about $2 million a year on busing and that is a significant amount of money, especially considering we have not had an increase in funding from the ministry since 2001. “So we want to make sure we are serving the needs of our kids and to make sure they are coming to school safely.” Board chairman Bill Turanski said while the ministry was willing to approve the purchase of new buses for the district, it has not increased the funding needed to actually operate the buses. “When I attended the PAC meetings at both Kal and Coldstream, busing was on the agenda,” he said. “We have also adjusted busing so that we are now going to be picking up students within the 2.4-kilometre limit, where it would be dangerous not to provide busing for them, so we are making some provisions for those.” Trustees approved formation of a committee to take a look at the issue. “When I did the numbers, I realized that when they were in school, each of my children has ridden the bus 188,000 kilometres,” said trustee Doris Squair, whose four children — now grown — all attended J.W. Inglis and Charles Bloom in Lumby.

Hotel tax revenue climbs Morning Star Staff
There’s been a major infusion of cash into Vernon’s tourism marketing program. In August, the City of Vernon collected $89,567 in hotel tax revenue, a 19 per cent increase for the month. “In talking with accommodators, we were anticipating strong numbers in August, but were surprised to see revenues for the month coming in close to $90,000,” said Kevin Poole, economic development manKevin Poole ager. The $89,567 in August is the highest ever since the city’s hotel tax began in 2010. Year-to-date, hotel tax revenue is up 25 per cent.
In 2013, the city received $438,495 in revenue from the hotel tax. “The revenues collected are allocated fully towards tourism marketing, programs and projects,” said Poole. “Any surplus funds within the account at the end of the year are transferred into a hotel tax reserve account, which are utilized in subsequent years.” The city is currently in the process of applying to the provincial government to renew the hotel tax program. One of the requirements needed to proceed with the application is to gain support from a minimum of 51 per cent of the accommodators and 51 per cent of the rooms. To date, the city has received support from 69 per cent of the accommodators representing 89 per cent of the total rooms in the city of Vernon.
Vernon candidate forums on track Morning Star Staff
There are still opportunities to hear from the candidates running for Vernon city hall.

Tickets for the dinner can be purchased at info@vernonchamber.

continues to be a live issue in Vernon and the surrounding areas,” said Andrew Powell, art gallery president. “Although much of the conversation has focussed on the need for facilities such as an art gallery, there is
a list of organizations, including the museum for instance, who have pointed out vocally and repeatedly that the services they provide are stunted because of their inadequate infrastructure or operational support.”

Winter dawns again
on’t look now but it’s November already and that means winter can’t be far off in these parts, even though it hasn’t felt that way of late. The thing is, though, that Mother Nature has a tendency to pay attention to the calendar and it can change before you can say “white stuff.” And it should be stated for the record that yours truly is pretty much ready for winter to come at the Mitchell household, which for a procrastinator like myself is some kind of record. However, the lawn mower is safely in the garage, the hoses are wrapped up and put away, Glenn Mitchell the A/C is covered up, the snow tires are on the truck and the Christmas lights are aligned along the front gutter of the house. Phew, I’m tired just thinking about all that work. Actually it’s probably a grand total of 15 minutes work (I don’t do the tire thing myself, though, and don’t tell the wife how easy it is either cause she’s still impressed I got it all done already, all but the Christmas lights, of course, let’s get real here and let’s give Halloween its due). And I’m glad Halloween is over and I hope we had lots of kids Friday night or I’ll be stuck eating all that candy. In fact I’ve been ‘stuck’ eating the candy for several weeks now as stores start selling the stuff a month in advance and I keep buying the economy ‘95’ packs in preparation for the big day and somehow all that candy goes missing and I have to buy another one and another one and then you don’t want to get caught short on Halloween so you get even more on the way home that night and...... You know maybe they could come up with
MitChEll’S MuSingS
a bylaw to ban Halloween candy sales before say two weeks before Oct. 31 to help people like me that can’t help themselves when it comes to those two-inch chocolate treats. Nah. I’m not a fan of silly bylaws anyway, especially ones that attempt to control behaviour that really comes down to personal responsibility. No one forced me to buy the stuff, although it’s always prominently displayed and I know I shouldn’t shop after work before I’ve eaten supper, and no one, of course, forced me to actually eat the stuff, although it wasn’t just me I swear...... ......so now we move into post-Halloween mode and the Christmas season will soon be upon us, if not already. And that seems to start earlier and earlier each year but I’m OK with that too because it’s a season I enjoy and I understand how important it is to local retailers and such. And, yes, I will get my lights up soon but I don’t want to give the neighbours a heart attack or anything and actually beat them to the punch....... ........and it’s also municipal campaign season as the race for mayor and councillors and directors and trustees heads into the homestretch towards Nov. 15. It was heartening to see more than 500 people at the recent political forum for Vernon’s mayoralty and council candidates at the Performing Arts Centre. The combination of a lack of an incumbent mayor, five solid candidates for the job, and a good selection of council hopefuls drew a lot of interest and shows apathy may not reign supreme in these parts on election day. Municipal elections should draw the most interest and they almost always draw the least which is a shame because it’s likely the most influential in our daily lives. The fact that it’s a four-year term this time around also gives it a little more importance. So please stay tuned and vote come Nov. 15.
There’s a new long-term cultural plan for Greater Vernon and that appears to be good news for some cultural amenities. In fact, Greater Vernon Advisory Committee members don’t hide the fact that the plan could finally pave the way for a new art gallery and museum to be addressed. “They will be front and centre in the implementation of the plan. They can’t be ignored,” said director Bob Fleming. And that is fair comment given that the current art gallery and museum buildings are inadequate and put the public’s cultural assets at risk. There is also the reality that both organizations have been ignored for years as other initiatives, such as a new track and field, have progressed. However, the new cultural plan should not be misconstrued as a blank cheque when it comes to taxpayers’ dollars. As part of the cultural plan, there is criteria-based decisionmaking process for services. One would hope that means what is being proposed will be reviewed carefully before going to the public. Does it make sense to construct a stand-along art gallery across from Cenotaph Park and expand the existing museum, or could efficiencies be gained by constructing a facility that contains both the museum and gallery? Should locations, such as the city-owned Coldstream Hotel parking lot, be reconsidered? Obviously, the development of a long-term cultural plan is good news and hopefully means the community will be allowed to thrive through such activities. But the plan also identifies a process to ensure public interests, including financial, are front and centre.

What has council done?
V
ernon council past and present, just what have you done for Vernon recently and in the past? My house taxes have risen in the past few years. Past council and mayor have spent millions of dollars on 29th Street, derelict buildings and homes. Oh yes, bicycle lanes on 25th Avenue. Most people who ride bicycles know they ride on the right shoulder of the road. Maybe you should light up 30th Avenue. Do seniors ever walk after dark downtown? Never. The water referendum. You did not tell us the cost per month for taxpayer and you want a yes vote - dream on. My last quarterly water bill for two people was $300-plus. We will have the running track at Okanagan College. You want a race track? WATER PLAN I have several concerns about the upcoming $70 million water referendum for Greater Vernon. A recent letter writer implied that to depart from the wisdom of the master water plan would be to start from scratch in relation to considering another water source such as Okanagan Lake. Why would this involve starting from scratch? You would not be closing down both Duteau and Kalamalka Lake sources. Is there not an opportunity to look at this again, and consider piping water from Okanagan Lake to a treatment facility? Who, if anyone has been trying to secure federal and provincial funding for such a large undertaking? In past years, a project of this magnitude would have qualified for one-third capital cost funding from each of the two senior governments, thus reducing the financial burden on the local taxpayers. Is there any possibility of this happening? Has a senior official in Interior Health ever confirmed in writing what minimum requirements must be met to comply with Canadian drinking water standards, and if so, what are those requirements?
What for, racing is dead. A new arts centre and ball parks used once a year. Another ice rink at Kal Tire Place. Where will we
Lastly, how many of the candidates running for office in Vernon and Coldstream are getting behind this referendum to ensure it is approved? All of them, some of them or none at all? If more information is not forthcoming to address some of these points, I will not be supporting the water referendum Nov. 15. Rod Drennan ELECTION SIGNS With respect to election signage, there are two separate and independent issues. The first issue is whether the bylaw officers will enforce the law restricting election signage from public property. The main issue is whether the candidates running for elected office have high enough moral standards to obey the federal, provincial, and municipal laws, whether they are enforced or not? On election day, I intend to cast my ballot for those who obey the law. V.E. Merchant GOOD JOB The Armstrong-Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce congratulates and thanks the councils of the City of Armstrong and Township

of Spallumcheen on the exceptional work they have done in the past three years, not just in representing the best interests of our two communities and championing a variety of causes both business and social, but also in recognition of the amazing potential that lies ahead by continued co-operation like we’ve seen even in just the past year. Joint council meetings, agreements to move forward on water supply issues, supporting each other at the regional level, the progress in working together on recreation services, and the general consensus that there are still more compatibilities to emerge that will propel our communities successfully into the future. Hearing how our communities were recently represented at the Union of B.C. Municipalities by both councils makes our chamber the envy of dozens of communities, and we would genuinely like to recognize the work these very diligent contributors have done to advance our local economy and address some key issues that can lead to further progress, including annual support for the visitor centre serving both communities from our chamber office.
Another item neglected is the Schubert Centre. They cater to seniors every day and are mainly run by volunteers, yet they receive a pittance for exemption on taxes. Yet you have many churches open a few hours a week who are totally exempt. Churches should have a look at opening their doors during the week for many things - for seniors, a room for cards, exercising, possibly an arts centre. Earn your exemption. RCMP boots on the ground. Do the walk downtown every day and night, not once a year. Economy: Factors that may help, lower parking fees, lower bus fares, lower carbon taxes, PST, lower house taxes, price of stamps. Take extra care of our natural resources. J.A. Kitchen
For these and many more reasons, we encourage the business community and citizens to recognize the councillors and mayors for their hard work, and we feel fortunate to have this great partnership moving forward to greater shared accomplishments. Andrew Laird, president, on behalf of the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce board of directors WATER RATES I am writing to support Hillview Golf and the unrealistic water rates charged them. To lose this course would be tragic. It is affordable for all age groups. Just try beating the seniors to get on the course early in the morning. The junior program is producing great young and respectful golfers. It is also a treat to see all ages interacting and enjoying themselves out on the course. Ms. Cunningham says, “We can’t assist one business over another.” Maybe she and her board should look at how to keep valuable businesses in business. I really hope the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee does an honest review and honestly considers what its unrealistic water rates are
doing to residents as well. We are not from Vernon, but RV there several times a year. The main reason is Hillview Golf, Jim and his staff. Don’t lose this treasure. Lynda Roberts

A fundraising tradition continues to focus on improving health care in the North Okanagan. The Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation will launch its 27th annual Light A Bulb campaign Wednesday. “All proceeds from this year’s Light a Bulb will support the Tower of Care campaign to equip and furnish the sixth and seventh floors at VJH,” said Richard Finn, campaign co-chairperson with Chris Cunningham. “We are excited to be part of this campaign that will have so many benefits to the health of North Okanagan residents.” Kiss FM will broadcast the Richard Finn Light A Bulb kickoff from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at VJH. With a goal to raise $250,000 by the end of December, the success of Light A Bulb will ensure the Tower of Care is completed by the end of 2015. “Doctors, hospital staff and community members have been eagerly anticipating the completion of the top floors,” said Sue Beaudry, VJH Foundation director of development. “Light A Bulb will bring us that much closer to seeing this become a reality in the near future.” Local businesses are taking a lead role in helping to ensure the success of the campaign. Nolan’s Pharmasave will accept donations on behalf of Light a Bulb throughout launch day Wednesday, while Silver Star Mountain will donate 100 per cent of proceeds from its season opener lift ticket sales Nov. 15 at Cooper’s Foods, Safeway (Vernon Square) and Save-On Foods. Businesses, schools or organizations wanting to support Light A Bulb through fundraising events are encouraged to contact 250-558-1362. Since 1988, Light A Bulb has raised about $3.75 million that has purchased essential medical equipment for the hospital. Each $35 tax deductible gift will light one bulb on the tree of lights a top Vernon Jubilee Hospital; $500 will light an entire string. Every gift great or small brings it closer to the goal. “Light A Bulb donation brochures will be distributed throughout the North Okanagan the second week of November,” said Beaudry. Donations can be made at www.vjhfoundation. org or mailed to the VJH Foundation at 2101 32nd St., Vernon B.C., V1T 5L2.

A potential economic development initiative has been shelved in Coldstream. A majority of council has voted not to participate in Discover C a n a d a’s Communities of Distinction TV Peter McClean program. “It was not felt there would be any direct benefit to the district,” said Coun. Peter McClean. “The proposal didn’t carry enough weight.” Communities of Distinction is a television program that identifies areas that are considered ideal to raise a family, run a business, retire to or visit. It is hosted by former NFL quarterback Terry Bradshaw. “They are currently embarking on a Discovery Canada series that will
focus on communities that are great places to live, work and play,” said Trevor Seibel, chief administrative officer, in a memo to council. The program will produce a fiveminute video that highlights a community and five-minute segments will be pieced together to form a 30-minute show. The show will be shown 20 times in Canada and the U.S. To participate, Coldstream would have to pay a scheduling fee of $19,800 U.S. “In return for this investment, we would keep the licensing rights to our five-minute clip in perpetuity,” said Seibel. Support for considering the proposal came from Councillors Pat Cochrane and Maria Besso. “It was worth pursuing further and we weren’t committing any funds at this time,” said Cochrane. “It could have creative positive publicity for the area,” added Besso. Coun. Doug Dirk was absent from the meeting.
City taps into grants Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon has tapped into outside funding sources so some projects can proceed. City staff submitted nine grant applications for various projects between July 1 and Oct. 17. “The total amount of grant funding sought by the city during this time was $59,000 and the city has been awarded $48,516,” said Tanya Laing Gahr, communications and grants coordinator. Among the grants approved are $1,000 for the pace car program, $8,000 for hot water heaters at the Priest Valley Arena and $4,700 for exterior sign improvements at the fire hall. The funding agencies included RBC, Parachute Leaders in Injury
Prevention and the Municipal Insurance Association of B.C. Some applications are still in process and approval has not been confirmed. Arena set for Remembrance Day The City of Vernon will provide Kal Tire Place for free for the Nov. 11 Remembrance Day ceremony. Previously, free use was provided by the Regional District of North Okanagan, which has turned operation of the facility over to the city. “The free use of Kal Tire Place for the ceremony has been taken into consideration for the 2014 budget,” said Doug Ross, the city’s recreation services director. The city will cover all set-up and take-down activities necessary for the ceremony.

Tourism opportunities are a priority for both candidates in rural Lumby. Forty people gathered at the White Valley Community Centre Tuesday to hear from incumbent Rick Fairbairn and Huguette Allen, who are vying to be Area D (rural Lumby) representative in the Nov. 15 municipal election. Allen referred to tourism promotion and developing the potential of the area on several occasions. “There are such opportunities for tourism that I’m surprised it hasn’t happened already,” said Allen. She pointed to the potential for interpretive centres, river tours and farm visits and tapping into the 50-plus market that wants to experience the area they visit. “We live in one of the best places on Earth and we need to be pro-active to keep it that way,” said Allen. “We can build an economy that doesn’t compete with the environment.” Fairbairn pointed to his track record as Regional District of North Okanagan director since 2002 and his work with the White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee in successfully getting seed money for local culture and continuing to “proceed with arts people to help them develop new programs and new initiatives.”

Incumbent director Rick Fairbairn speaks to the crowd at the White Valley Community Centre Tuesday as candidate Huguette Allen listens. He also talked about the potential of agritourism “to generate dollars on farms” and said he would support a non-agricultural business opportunity on agricultural land “if it makes sense.” The lack of farm gate sales due to provincical regulation reared its head several times during the question period. Fairbairn called it a “big topic” and one that he’s “hammering ministers” on as he tries to come up with “alternate plans to allow farmers to make a living.” He said it’s a frustrating issue but pointed to reason for some optimism as the agriculture minister is dedicated to solving the problem and that a pilot licensing project has been launched but only two have been issued
so far. Allen said the current rules “support industrial agriculture over local agriculture” and pointed to the increasing need for local food security in the future. “Seven years is a long time to keep hoping for a solution (to farm gate sales),” she said. Allen also suggested that Area D may need a more marketable identity for tourism promotion, utilizing a poll or contest to come up with a name, like Monashee Hills as an example. The idea could include a community newsletter and website. Fairbairn said identity isn’t a problem in Area D and that the current committee setup working with the Village of Lumby and Area E (Cherryville) “works very well.”

Former mayor Jerry Oglow (from left), with wife, Bev, and members of Tom Nordstrom’s family - daughter Juli, grandson Dawson and his widow, Karel - receive signs after the City of Armstrong named a pair of roadways in the Southgate development behind the new Tim Hortons in honour of the longtime Armstrong men.

Names make an impression roger knox Morning Star Staff
Unlike the cartoon characters, this Tom and Jerry liked and respected each other. The City of Armstrong has named two roads in the new Southgate development behind Tim Hortons off Harding Road in honour of the late Tom Nordstrom, a former Citizen of the Year, and former 12-year mayor Jerry Oglow. The official ceremony was held at the intersection of Oglow Drive and Nordstrom Avenue Tuesday morning. “It’s always a pleasure to do what we’re doing today,” said Jessie Ann Gamble, joined at the ceremony by fellow Armstrong Heritage Advisory Committee members Gail Salter and Dawn Jamieson. “We like to honour people who have served as mayors in this town, and we like to honour people who have served the community. We
don’t have avenues and streets with numbers or that are in alphabetical order. Our streets are named for its people who are significant in the history of our wonderful town. Tom and Jerry have so earned this honour.” Mayor Chris Pieper gave a rundown of Oglow’s and Nordstrom’s accomplishments. Known locally as the Melon Man, for his passion for growing melons, Nordstrom
was born and raised in Armstrong. He left at 16 (he skipped a grade in school) and enrolled in engineering at UBC, focusing on electrical engineering. At UBC, he met the woman who would become his wife, Karel, and the pair headed to England after Nordstrom was offered a fellowship to study there. Tom and Karel stayed in England for three years, working for General Electric and obtaining
Fairview Inn (across from Super Store)
his masters degree. Upon returning to Canada, Nordstrom was offered a job by BCBuilt Hydro.for He Generations worked in various capacities at Hydro, ending his career as the utility’s vice-president.

Roads honour Armstrong men Continued from A13 Nordstrom retired at 55 and he and Karel returned to Armstrong, where Nordstrom’s parents reside and where his daughter, Juli, had recently moved. That’s when they bought the property on Corkscrew Road and began growing melons and other fruits and vegetables. Nordstrom was also heavily involved with the Lions Clubs. He was a charter member of North Vancouver’s Edgemont Lions Club, and, upon his retirement in Armstrong, began his push to have a Lions Vision Centre created at the Pleasant Valley Health Centre. Nordstrom was instrumental in the formation of a separate Interior Eye Care society to continue fundraising to make sure stateof-the-art equipment and furnishings were installed. He also helped create a permanent endowment fund with the North Okanagan Foundation for the centre. A treatment room at the Vision Care Centre is named the Tom Nordstrom Room in recognition of his efforts. Nordstrom has won many Lions Club awards and, in 2001, was named Armstrong Spallumcheen Good Citizen of the Year and, in 2013, one month before his death, the city awarded Nordstrom its Recognition of Excellence award. “Tom would have been very honoured to know this was happening,” said Karel, accompanied by Juli and Juli’s son, Cameron. “We are too, of course. Tom and Jerry got along well. It’s a very nice honour and we’re very pleased.” Oglow, accompanied Tuesday by his wife, Bev, arrived in Armstrong from Creston, where he worked for the local school board and held a similar post with the Armstrong School District. He was elected to city council in November 1984 and served as a councillor for 12 years. He would spend another 12 years as the city’s
mayor, retiring in 2008, succeeded by Pieper. Oglow was responsible for the city’s solid waste treatment and irrigation system, and proud of the water supply strategy in Fortune Creek. He was instrumental in the creation of the city’s 35-year capital infrastructure plan, the acquisition of land for Heaton Place, a 76-unit seniors retirement complex on the site of the old hospital, and worked with local MLAs and MPs to build the NorVal Sports Centre. In 2013, Oglow received the Freedom of the City, the 11th such resident to earn the city’s highest honour. “I’m so delighted to share today’s ceremony with the Nordstrom family,” said Oglow.
“I had the privilege of knowing Tom for a number of years, watched his community activism,
and it truly is an honour to share the stage with such a great communityminded person.”

cil candidates at a forum at Armstrong’s Centennial Hall Wednesday, attended by about 100 people. “I thought town hall meetings were already held locally at the A&W,” chuckled incumbent councillor Joe Van Tienhoven, who admitted in his opening to being uncomfortable standing in front of a crowd. “As a council, we generally hear what people are unhappy with. Nobody comes to meetings when things are going good but when we talk things like water or Bill 8 (farm taxes), people show up and we take that seriously. I think town hall meetings would be great.” Also uncomfortable with crowds is incumbent Andrew Casson, but he agreed town hall meetings would be a great way to find out what people are thinking. “It would be a chance to meet in a

Incumbents Ed Hanoski (left) and Todd York answer questions during the Spallumcheen all-candidate’s forum Wednesday at Armstrong’s Centennial Hall. comfortable setting and listen to what you have to say to us,” he said. “Any kind of feedback is what keeps us going.” Farming dominated most of the questions asked from the floor, including how candidates would advocate for small-scale farmers in the areas of access to markets, and distribution and storage of products. Veteran incumbent Todd York said council advocates regularly but gets frustrated because of provincial rules and regulations. “In the past decade we’ve watched the inability to have farm meat sales due to regulations, lost the abattoirs, lost the ability to have access to our own products. We bring this up every single chance we get (with the province). I’m unfamiliar with small-scale farming and how they deal with distribution. As for storage, if we were trying to shape a storage area for the farming community to utilize, I’m sure council would embrace such an
idea and assist any way we can.” Incumbent Ed Hanoski remembers when the region was famous for peas, celery and cheese. “Those days are gone,” he said. “Seventy per cent of our food comes from outside of B.C., so there’s a big market there. We have to band together and get an industrial setting of some sort to help your access to market. And we need a cold storage unit so people can store their berries.” It was small farms that attracted hopeful Christine Lemaire to move to Spallumcheen. “I love the accessibility to all the things you can get locally, and I think that’s a really important part of the community,” she said. Agriculture regulations have had a huge impact on small-farm processing said hopeful Linda Griffin, adding she’s had friends with mobile slaughter units move to different communities because of the many rules and regulations that cut into their business.
“For storage, there are so many regulations on how to set up that most farmers can’t afford to upgrade because it costs thousands and thousands of dollars before the government approves it,” said Griffin. “For distribution, you need to have vast amounts of stuff to ship out.” Only one question was asked directly of one councillor and that was to Christine Fraser. A gentleman asked her to describe the relationship between the councils of Spallumcheen and Armstrong over the past three years. “Our relationship now with Armstrong is excellent,” said Fraser. “Last night, when they had their forum, we were there listening to them, now they’re scattered in here in support of us. It’s really nice to have that kind of relationship because in a lot of ways, we’re one community. Historically there’s been a lot of animosity. In the two current councils, the relationship is really, really good.”

You Are Re-defining “COOL”
“So, who are you and what’s with the re-defining the cool thing?” We’ll get to the “re-defining cool thing” in a minute; but first, you need to know that the “you” are the residents of the North Okanagan and Shuswap region who have been responding in truly surprising numbers to the exclusive offer of a “CHANCE IN ADVANCE” to make what could be the “home run” investment opportunity they have been desperately searching for that could ignite their investment portfolio and possibly get them back on track to a more secure financial position in the short term and for decades to come. “And what would that investment opportunity be?” We, being Mara Lakeside Resort Inc., are now in the advanced planning stages for the development of a LUXURY BOUTIQUE RESORT ON THE SHORES OF MARA LAKE in Sicamous and we’re offering the residents of the North Okanagan and Shuswap region the opportunity to become part of the ownership group of the resort before we announce it to the rest of BC and Alberta. The obvious rationale behind this preview opportunity is that, more than anyone else, “you” know this whole region needs a new, modern, fully amenitized, beachside resort that could attract tens of thousands of visitors who could inject millions of dollars into the local economy every year and that could create many new, sustainable employment opportunities. “Get me up to speed here.” Well, our “gut feeling” was that this was such a very special opportunity, with so many potential benefits to the people of Sicamous and surrounding area, that they would emphatically embrace taking ownership positions in the resort, even at the minimum investment of $150,000. This could result in a short term 30% “tax free” through a refundable tax credit provided by the BC government, meaning they would receive a minimum of $45,000 cash back tax free from the government with a resulting net investment of $105,000. So, in spite of all the “naysayers” who thought we were out of our collective minds by “going to the people” instead of the usual options of private equity firms, brokers, exempt market dealers, REIT’s and so on; we started by offering our “CHANCE IN
ADVANCE” opportunity to the residents of the Sicamous and then Salmon Arm areas and frankly, the response was a huge validation of what our vision means to the people who to us, matter the most. Which brings us back to the question of re-defining what “COOL” means, because that was the most prominent word expressed when we actually got down to the “Nitti Gritty” of what this investment opportunity could offer to people who never thought they could be involved with something so exciting, so impactful and so beneficial to so many. Here’s just a sample of what the “NEW COOL” potential benefits could mean for those who care and can: • A very cool 30% “tax free” return on your investment in a matter of months for BC tax payers • Proportionate equity ownership of the coolest premiere luxury lakeside boutique resort in the whole province • The potential opportunity of dividend participation for decades to come • The opportunity for the real asset appreciation year after year • A totally unique “INVESTOR PROTECTION PROGRAM” that you can learn more about on our website that should provide you with a good deal of confidence if you choose to move forward • Sharing the coolest culinary experiences of the region with family, friends and guests in the restaurant & pub that you could have ownership in • Staying in your own luxury boutique resort at discounted prices • Renting or owning your own boat slip in the marina • Creating a very significant number of sustainable living jobs, not just at the resort, but spin off opportunities as well, which is very cool indeed • Creating an estimated direct economic impact of over $8,000,000 every year in the area. If that isn’t cool, we don’t know what is
So, how can “I” become part of “We” and get into this “new cool” movement and all the potential financial benefits it could provide before you announce it to the general public? Simple. If you are genuinely serious about all the cool things this investment opportunity could provide for you and those you care about and you have, or have access to a minimum of $150,000 to invest; or are an Accredited Investor as defined under the BC Securities Act (you’ll learn that definition on the website if you’re unsure) and you think a short term return of 30% tax free and the additional potential benefits as outlined above, plus more, is something you feel is worth exploring, just go to our exclusive North Okanagan and Shuswap region “CHANCE IN ADVANCE” preview presentation at www.maralakesideresort.com and take it from there. You’ll be glad you did. Soooo, what’s the downside? That’s something you and/or your financial advisor will have to consider after you review all the features of this opportunity and are comfortable that you are in a position to move forward; or not. What happens next? That’s up to you, but we just want to make it crystal clear that this “CHANCE IN ADVANCE” opportunity is a limited time offer (we’re talking a couple of weeks) for residents of the North Okanagan and Shuswap region who qualify for the investment opportunity before we announce it to the rest of the province and Alberta. How many Potential Investors can Participate? There are a very limited number of ownership positions available, so you will have to make a decision as to whether you want to become part of the vision and the potential benefits it might provide for you, but based on the response we have received in the past few weeks, people are hearing what we say on the website presentation … when they’re gone, well, they’re gone. So, don’t miss out, go to www.maralakesideresort. com now.
• The potential of re-igniting your RRSP, which this investment qualifies for • Plus, there are a number of additional cool potential benefits of this opportunity that you can learn about by visiting our website

Heat trio reflects on stellar season Morning Star Staff
Like the Stanley Cup that visits the hometown of each player on the winning team, a championship trophy is making the rounds in the North Okanagan. Vernon’s Annie Morrison, Emma Wilton and Bailey Wellman, who play with the Kelowna Heat U16 girls rep softball team, each has two weeks to take photos with their team’s trophy, before passing it on to the next in line. The Heat took gold when they dominated the Spokane Crash tournament in Washington, and the trophy is making the rounds in Vernon after spending two weeks with a teammate from Sicamous. “It was the most pressure in any game I’ve pitched in,” said Morrison, who clinched the win for the Heat when she struck out the last two batters in the gold-medal game against the West Plain Bandits of Eastern Washington. The Bandits’ fans were “really loud” added Morrison, because the Bandits had runners on second and third, with the go-ahead run at the plate. Having moved from the Lower Mainland, Morrison is a newcomer on the Heat. The determination she showed in the tourney final made a big impression on head coach Bernie Penner. “During the final in Spokane, against one of their local teams, with a very large boisterous group of fans, their goal was to rattle Annie as she pitched. “Annie had the look in her eyes that said ‘Bring it.’ This was contagious and the rest of our players rallied around that attitude to create one of the most intense and memorable finals that I have experienced in years.” Said Wellman: “What a great experience it was. I really enjoyed playing with all these girls that put their whole heart and effort into each game.” Wellman got her start in Vernon Minor Baseball and went on to Team B.C. before switching to fastball. Penner said she is adapting well. “She brings enthusiasm and a strong desire to learn the differences between the games as quickly as possible,” he said. Wilton’s poise stood out for Penner, who said her demeanor has a positive effect on her teammates. “She added leadership to the younger players with her solid defensive play, very timely hitting, along with a calming presence in the dugout.” Wilton is already looking forward to next season, saying: “I played with this team two years ago and we hardly won a championship. Next season will be good.” Penner is also optimistic about the Heat’s 2015 season

Vernon’s Annie Morrison (from left), Bailey Wellman and Emma Wilton, members of the Kelowna Heat U16 girls softball team, celebrate after winning the Spokane Crash tournament, in September, in Washington. after watching the girls shine in Spokane. “I was very happy with the quality of players that came to our fall tryout,” he said. “This was very evident when we were in Spokane for the fall tournament. We played some exceptional teams and our girls stepped up and answered in every category – hitting, defence and pitching. “Our team depth is exceptionally good, which gives us coaches numerous options when we step on the field.” With just one other high-calibre girls softball teams in the Interior, more out-of-town travel will be expected
of the Vernon trio next spring if they hope to compete against other top talent. Last year’s team travelled to Idaho, Washington and Lower Mainland numerous times. The Heat’s end goal is to win the provincials and represent B.C. at Western Canadians next August. To help cover travel expenses, Morrison, Wellman and Wilton are seeking individuals and businesses to sponsor them.

Vees torch Eagles for 21 goals in home-and-home Morning Star Staff
A 10-0 loss would be tough to take for any B.C. Hockey League team. To lose 11-0 to the same team two nights later is downright humiliating. That’s what happened to the Surrey Eagles at home on Wednesday night, and on the
road Halloween night, as they were victimized by the league-leading Penticton Vees, who recorded their 12th straight win. Veteran Cam Amantea led the 15-1 Vees with a Halloween hat trick, his first goals of the season. Jack Ramsey and Riley Alferd chipped in with deuces. Brendan Barry made
23 stops for his first BCHL shutout. Penticton boasts a remarkable plus-47 goal differential through 16 games. Surrey (3-100-3) has lost five straight. In other Interior Division action Friday, Jason Cotton netted the OT winner as the West Kelowna Warriors shaded the Salmon

The Vernon Tigers were by far the top defensive team in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League last season. It showed when the league announced the annual player awards at its AGM last month. Netting Top Goalie was the Cats’ Aaron Jensen, whose .883 save percentage and 4.525 goals-against average topped the five-team league. Bayne Bosquet and Brett Hanna shared Top Defensive Player, and Tigers’ bench bosses Myles Brumpton, Keith Hanna and Chris Scabar were co-recipients of the Top Coach award. Both Jensen and Brett Hanna were named tournament all-stars in helping Vernon claim silver in Junior B provincials last spring at Kal Tire Place. Bosquet is in his senior year with the SFU Clan. The Tigers allowed a league-low 85 goals, 34 fewer than the next closest team. They were also the most disciplined team, accumulating 268 penalty minutes. The league average was 377. “The best defensive and top goalie awards were very indicative of our style,” said Brumpton. Chris Scabar “We were the only team

“Heather has put her heart and soul into this program,” said Rob Johnson, UBC Okanagan director of athletics and recreation. “And hundreds of student-athletes have benefited from her coaching and guidance. She’ll leave very big shoes to fill.” When Semeniuk started in 1994, the Okanagan program was part of Okanagan University College which competed in the B.C. Colleges’ Athletics Association (BCCAA, now Pacwest) a conference of the Canadian Collegiate Athletics Semeniuk Association (CCAA). She coached in 298 regular-season games in that league and qualified for provincials in 14 of 17 years, twice winning gold. The Heat joined Canada West in 2011. The search for Semeniuk’s replacement starts immediately. The job posting closes Tuesday, Nov. 18. Details can be found at www.hr.ubc.ca/ careers-postings/staff.php (Job ID 19570). Now competing in Canada West, the Heat are working to re-establish their reputation as a consistently competitive team. Johnson has some thoughts on the type of person he hopes will apply for the position. “In addition to the obvious need for technical knowledge and experience, we need someone who has strong abilities as a recruiter, able to bring in students that will make us a regular contender for the Canada West championship,” said Johnson.

Pickleball comes to Enderby Morning Star Staff
Canada’s fastest growing sport is about to get a little bit bigger as pickleball is set to start in Enderby. The first drop-in session goes Wednesday, Nov. 12, 6-7:30 p.m., at A.L. Fortune Secondary. “We’re just looking for eager people who would like to come and play,” said co-organizer Abby Pavelic, who notes the sport has quickly become popular among the Baby Boomer generation. “It combines the paddle from ping pong, the court of badminton and the idea of tennis, without the impact.” Pickleball leagues are already running in Vernon and Salmon Arm, and Pavelic hopes the Enderby sessions will draw athletes who would otherwise commute to those cities to play. There will be some racquets available for those wanting to try pickleball, as well as introductory lessons to help people learn the basics. Players need to wear clean gym shoes.
Pavelic said they are making drop-in available to all ages and skill levels, adding the main focus will be fun and fitness. “You can play it at your level,” she said. Anyone interested in learning more can contact Pavelic at 250-838-9280, or Marlene Marshall at 250-838-6955.

Lakers down Dawson Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Sladen Moore Lakers got off to a spooktacular start in their Halloween Female Atom Hockey Tournament Friday night, icing the Dawson Creek Canucks 13-0 at Kal Tire Place. Brook Lawlar led the Laker attack with five goals, with two apiece coming from Paige Braychaw, game MVP Mackenzie Miller and Emma Roine. Bailey Alexis and Kristie Vassberg each contributed a single in support of netminder Katrina Winstanley. Canucks’ goalie Chelsea West was busy in the crease, and was named Dawson’s MVP. Vernon battled Kamloops and Kelowna Saturday in the four-team tourney. The gold-medal game goes this morning, 8:45, at Civic Arena. The third-place game is at 7 a.m., at Civic.
Meanwhile, the Nixon Wenger Vipers opened a Pee Wee Tier 2 tourney in Salmon Arm by falling 6-4 to Kamloops Friday. The Vipers found themselves down a pair of goals in the first two minutes, but rallied to tie it before the intermission. Call-up Anne Cherkowski tapped home the first goal, followed by a Maddex Minard breakaway snipe. The teams swapped singles in the second period, with Cherkowski pocketing her second, assisted by Porter Trevelyan. Jakob Wettlaufer, from Maisun Ang-Hamilton and Jacob Jones, had Vernon’s other goal. Issac Thomas, who came close to converting on a penalty shot, was named the Vipers’ game MVP. Aidan Spraggs took the loss. Vernon faced St. Albert and North Shore Saturday.

The new Wills, Estates and Succession Act (“WESA”) was passed by the B.C. Legislature on September 24, 2009, and came into force on March 31, 2014. The new Act repeals the Wills Act, the Wills Variation Act, the Estate Administration Act and sections of the Law and Equity Act and Survivorship and Presumption of Death Act.

Okanagan College is throwing open the doors of its Vernon campus. Secondary students and their parents are invited to visit the campus Wednesday from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. to find out about programs, fees, and admission requirements. Instructors and current students will be on site to answer questions and help students learn about the realities of studying at the college, which includes benefiting from small class sizes and a low studentinstructor ratio. Among those speaking is Devon Weston, a second-year associate of arts student. “I’m going to the information night to help people learn more about the benefits of the college from a student’s perspective,” he said. “I chose Okanagan College because it’s affordable, easily accessible on transit, and offers the same educational quality you’d find at other colleges and universities.” Another benefit attendees will learn about is the college’s small class sizes and low student-instructor ratio. “I have been able to befriend professors and create valuable connections within the college that is helping me get real work experience,” said Brandon Moeller, a second-year associate of science student.

“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.

Bohemia meets Bollywood in all-day dance event Morning Star Staff
The dictionary describes a Bohemian as a person or artist who lives a free-spirited life and believes in truth, freedom and love. This definition describes the spirit by which professional dance instructor and former national and international dance champion Tracy Holly lives and dances. As director of Bohemian Bollywood Bling, an all-day eclectic dance event taking place Nov. 8 at the Vernon Eagles Hall, her intention is to present a selection of offerings available in the Okanagan dance community. “This event is my way of acknowledging and appreciating the talent and diversity of dance that is right at your feet — no pun intended,” said Holly. “In my career, I have taught, performed, competed and explored an array of dance styles; this kept me excited about dance throughout my life. “The Bohemian Bollywood Bling concept captures my thoughts, feelings and expertise in the world of movement to music.” Holly will showcase her newest venture, the increasingly popular Bollywood, which has evolved from traditional

Latin, disco, hip-hop, jazz and even the Charleston are incorporated in her choreography with the Holly Bollywood Dance Troupe which performs regularly throughout the Okanagan. “And who doesn’t love the bling,” said Holly. “Bobbles and bangles, shimmering and shining, gleaming and glowing, it’s an eccentric vibration that not only looks good, but feels great. “I truly hope you enjoy Bohemian Bollywood Bling, and most of all, I hope this ignites the fire for you to participate in these wonderful styles of dance.” Bohemian Bollywood Bling presents five area dance
instructors who will join Holly in offering 45-minute workshops from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. In addition to Bollywood with Holly, Chilean dance master Samuelz Galvez will present the rhythms of Bachata, Ruth McGrath offers happy line dancing, Lisa Schofield turns up the heat with sultry burlesque jazz, Ruth Hoyte presents Egyptian dance and Sareena Nickoli will get you burning with Zumba.

Vernon library hosts meditation group Editor’s note: the following is from the Okanagan Meditation & Oneness Blessing Circle Meet-up Group. Life is busy and stress is a natural part of our lives but it doesn’t have to lead to illness. Learn to manage your stress in a healthy way and respond to life’s challenges with meditation. Meditation is a way to train the mind and bring awareness to the present moment. Without awareness the mind has free reign to drain your energy through worrying about the future or obsessing about the past. This leaves us in a constant state of stress and anxiety, which left unmanaged leads to disease and illness. Breathing is not only the gift of life but breathing with awareness is one of the most powerful tools we have as human beings to master the mind. It allows

us to respond with wisdom to life’s challenges instead of constantly habitually reacting. With practice we use the breath as a way to slow down in times of challenge and make thoughtful decisions and not act on the heat of our emotions. Meditation allows you to experience more of your natural state free from the busyness of the mind where you naturally feel more peaceful, relaxed and in a state of well-being. Studies have shown that meditation is also helpful in reducing blood pressure, lowering cholesterol, improving concentration, creativity and productivity as well as experiencing more restful sleep. These are just some of the numerous benefits of incorporating a meditation practice as part of your daily routine. Meditation is for anyone who desires to experience more happiness, peace and harmony in their lives. The Vernon library has partnered with the Okanagan Oneness Blessing Community to offer weekly group meditation evenings each Tuesday at the library. All are welcome to join and no previous meditation experience is necessary. The group meets Tuesdays from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the library, 2800-30th Ave., either in the meeting room on the main floor near the circulation desk or in the community room on the upper floor.

Songs of the War Years continue to resonate Sally Evans and Molly Boyd pay ode to the veterans past and present with wartime music Morning Star Staff
For the audience, Songs of the War Years is a sentimental musical journey through the Second World War, but for Sally Evans it’s a dream come true. While sitting in a coffee shop with a good friend 10 years ago, the Vernon musician shared her dream of performing a tribute to the men and women who lived through those years. Evans grew up in East Kelowna surrounded by that music and the memories of her childhood time spent around the piano with her family, she says, were precious. Evans already knew the words to almost every song, and with her experience working with seniors in recreation for many years, it was a dream that with a little encouragement could possibly come true. Her friend believed strongly in her vision and Evans began looking for a piano player. And that’s how Molly Boyd came into the picture. Well known in her hometown of Vernon, Boyd was and is the perfect

Sally Evans and Molly Boyd are back to perform Songs of the War Years in time for Remembrance Day, Wednesday at the Schubert Centre. musician for the show, said Evans. “She not only plays by ear, she also knows an amazing number of songs, plus she has the energy and a genuine commitment to seniors,” said Evans, adding the two make a great pair on stage and off. It has been nine years since Evans and Boyd began their journey of entertaining together. They have performed Songs of the War Years, plus two other shows,
to more than 12,000 people at more than 100 gigs throughout the Okanagan and the Kootenays. Their enthusiasm hasn’t waned a bit. “(We) both love the music and being on stage and really enjoy the reactions of, and interacting with, the audience,” said Evans. “(We) love to bring the audience together as one through laughter, song and sometimes, tears. Audience members
of all ages comment on how they love the music, the energy and camaraderie.” The format of Songs of the War Years has changed three times over the past nine years, but both Evans and Boyd have taken the advice of audience members not to change the repertoire too much. “There are songs and stories that just cannot be left out,” said Evans, adding she and Boyd decided a few years ago to perform Songs of the War Years around Remembrance Day. “We must not forget the sacrifices that were made by so many during the Second World War. With so many of our veterans passing on, we encourage the families of veterans to see the show. “We also encourage war brides and widows/widowers of veterans to attend. The memories invoked during the show are priceless and singing along is definitely encouraged. Younger people will be amazed at how many of the lyrics they know and the show gives an education and insight into wartime.” Next year, Evans and Molly say they hope to take their show on tour to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. The ninth annual Songs of the War Years takes place at the Schubert Centre Wednesday. Doors open at 1 p.m. and showtime is from 2 to 4 p.m. Tickets are $8 and are on sale now at Schubert Centre and at the door if available.

Throughout the world, a shift has been occurring in the recent past. This shift is bringing a deeper awareness that we are all one family on the planet. For each problem we are collectively and individually facing there are solutions that benefit all and bring beautiful outcomes. Resilience to allowing new solutions in these changing times is important. Heart-based living in co-operation and compassion for others is essential as well. So says Vernon-based musi-
cian and motivational speaker Chris Madsen, who is hosting the event Be The Change Together, along with fellow entertainers and speakers, Friday at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. “Be the Change Together has the intention of inspiring us all in ways we can be the change we want to see in the world,” said Madsen.

Back in the time warp
t was the mid-’80s when I lost my virginity. Before you start doing the math, let me first explain. It was at Toronto’s Roxy Theatre with hundreds of kids. And we were there to see a then decade-old movie. Every Friday night, my fellow “batcavers” and I would doll up in our finest dark attire, complete with fishnet stockings, white powdered face and red lipstick (and that included the boys), and head down to the Roxy on Danforth for the weekly screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. In our knapsacks were the essential props: a newspaper, small bag of rice, water pistol, lighter, rubber gloves, noisemaker, confetti, toilet paper, toast, party hat, Kristin Froneman bell, playing cards, and hot dogs. By week three, we knew all the lines, both the ones spoken by the actors and the ones, often irreverent, that we, the audience, shouted out at the screen. We tossed our props in wild oblivion, singing along. I never felt a smidgen of guilt for the crew who had to clean up after us like I would now. Thirty years later and on a Thursday night in a barn in Armstrong, B.C., of all places, I lost my Rocky Horror virginity all over again. I’m happy to report that there are fellow RPHS “freaks” like me still out there, shouting, singing and dancing along to the Time Warp. They come in all ages, and appropriate dress, and know every word. I am also happy to report that the live stage version of The Rocky Horror Show is just as good, maybe even better, than the screen version – even though the plot is beyond ridiculous, but who cares, it’s the campy craziness that we’ve come to love. Presented by Vernon’s newest musical theatre company, Big Apple Productions, the cast and crew shiver their timbers, wearing next to nothing, to put on a floor show in the horticulture building, normally used for commercial displays at the Interior Provincial Exhibition. (Luckily, the heating system that broke down just the day before the show opened was fixed.) Embodying those scantily clad roles are some fabulously brave people who look pretty darn
THEATRE REVIEW
sexy in fishnets and leather corsets. Top of that list has to be the titular Brian Martin, who truly transforms himself into the saucy, naughty, and deadly vamp that is Dr. Frank-N-Furter. His projection, expression, and great gams are up there with Tim Curry’s (who embodied the role in the original stage and film versions), and that’s saying something. Martin is surrounded by some great supporters, and I’m not just talking about those garters, including Craig Howard and Vicki Proulx, as newly engaged couple Brad and Janet. These two have to wear their underwear (nice tighty whities, Brad) for most of the show while performing some acrobatic moves in the numbers Dammit Janet and Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a Touch Me. Speaking of those “acrobatics,” they are very well done, in shadow puppet-like fashion behind a sheet. Also doing their camp vamp best are Susan Evans as the maid Magenta, and she has quite the fan club, noting how many people were dressed as her in the audience, as well as Michael Gairns as pasty-faced, folliclychallenged Riff Raff.

Arts Losing it over Rocky Horror Continued from B5 Showing off her dance moves and powerful pipes, Tanya Lipscomb adds a sparkle to the feisty Columbia, while Alex Peterson does a mighty fine entrance as Eddie on a motor-
bike, no less, in Hot Patootie Bless My Soul. (Meatloaf would be proud.) As Rocky, Don Cecile pulls off the made-up man with the tan and gold lamé briefs well, while Peter Byrnes (who is not
boring, despite what the audience shouts out) keeps things moving along as The Narrator. Lovely chanteuse Judy Rose, as Usherette, blows it out of the castle performing the opening/closing number Science Fiction/Double Feature, while the sexy phantom chorus crawls, vamps and creeps its way through the numbers better than a spider in heels. Hats off to director Neal Facey, to the costumers, makeup/hair artists, lighting/sound/ set designers, choreographer and everyone else for pulling it all off so well, and a big red lipstick smooch must also go out to the incredible band Half-a-Quorum, led by musical director/ producer/creator and all-round queen of the night, Melina Moore. Thank you for helping me “lose it” all over again.

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist TOM NOLAN
World Pneumonia Day is on November 12. Pneumonia is the #1 killer of children under the age of five worldwide and is responsible for nearly one in five child deaths annually. Over 99% of these occurs in the developing world. This is very sad because pneumonia is a treatable illness. The solution is better access to vaccines, improved sanitation, promotion of breast feeding and frequent hand washing as well as use of clean cook stoves to reduce the indoor air pollution. Signing up for organ donation is a good thing. Nearly 80% of those on the transplant list are waiting for a kidney. It costs about $60,000 yearly to maintain someone on hemodialysis. A kidney transplant costs about $23,000 with about $6,000 per year for medication. So one kidney donation can save approximately $250,000 in health care costs over five years and it dramatically increases someone’s quality of life. Have you registered as an organ donor yet? At the end of the flu season, the flu virus seems to disappear. It doesn’t really but doesn’t spread as easily in the spring as in the fall and winter. Also flu shots give some immunity to the flu. Now is the time to improve your immunity to the flu this season. Put get my flu shot on your “to do” list today. Science is always changing. Our knowledge of the body, diseases and treatments is also evolving through building on past knowledge to produce new and better ways of managing health problems. That’s how science works. As pharmacists, we are proud to be part of your health care team. Use our knowledge to help expand your knowledge of your health and the science behind maintaining it.

ohn Wick (Keanu Reeves) is a retired assassin who is lured back to the profession when the over zealous son of a Russian mafia boss destroys the only thing Wick has left to love, a beagle named Daisy. We say, “The why doesn’t matter so much with Keanu.” TAYLOR: The plot stated in the introductory sentence of this review is accurate and complete. Such as it is, you might feel it’s a little bit silly and you’re right. Then again, with the one man killing machine genre, logic doesn’t matter much. It comes down to a question of whether or not you enjoy the mayhem. Last month we reviewed Denzel Washington in The Equalizer, which is exactly the same movie: “Retired tough guy gets lured back into the

fray to deliver bloody justice.” Sure, the reasons these two have for killing folks are different, but they’re both good at their jobs, both are reluctant to return. They’re even both fighting the same bad guys, the Russian mob. The difference is John Wick does it with style to spare. HOWE: “John Witless” more like. What a stupid basis for a movie. The Equalizer, although still not a great movie, is leaps and bounds ahead of John Wick in sense of storyline. At least he was seeking justice for another human, whereas, Wick is seeking revenge for his dog. Don’t get me started that the dog stands for something as he only owned it for two days. Really, a dog?
-Legendary Pictures.
Keanu Reeves is an assassin with style and thin motives in John Wick. TAYLOR: Have you let the lack of story ruin for you what is a very well put together non-stop ass kicking? It could have been the exactly the same movie if Wick had been seeking revenge for the murder of his wife. People love their dogs. HOWE: That may be true. I have two dogs myself, but he’s not seeking revenge for his wife. I will allow that the fight sequences are very well choreographed. To me it was like a video game, “Beat all the baddies
on this level, on to the next.” The best part of the film was that Reeves didn’t have much to say. The more I think and write about this movie the stupider it seems to be. Who in Hollywood thought a revenge movie about a dog would be good? Audiences should get after the filmmakers to get their money back. TAYLOR: The first time Keanu opened his mouth to speak, I laughed out loud. There were several other moments that
made me laugh and weren’t meant to. However, if you’re in the mood for a very glossy, attractive movie with sharp dressed men killing each other deftly, you probably don’t care too much about realism. (If you do, go see Fury.) Turn off your brain and accept the unrealistic. John Wick makes senseless violence look good. –Howe gives John Wick 1.5 bogus adventures out of 5. –Taylor gives it 3.5 blood spurts per minute out of 5.

Drama in the high seas
T
he resiliency of the human spirit, despite all odds, is a predominant theme in any number of books, especially when the story pits man against the sea. But despite being well-worn, almost to the point of cliché, this Peter Critchley thematic approach still keeps readers turning the pages and reading well into the night. The Boys in the Boat (2013) by Daniel Brown is an extraordinary example, a compelling work of nonfiction that reads like an epic novel. It is the evocative and fascinating story of how nine humble working-class boys from the University of Washington stunned the world at Hitler’s 1936 Berlin Olympics by facing and beating a series of foes: their west coast rivals at Berkeley; the east coast snobs at the Poughkeepsie championship; and ultimately the German team, backed by Goebbels and his sinister Olympic propaganda. The crew is assembled by an enigmatic coach and mentored by legendary boat-builder
BOOK TalK
George Pocock. But it is the deep and abiding trust they developed with each other that enabled these sons of loggers, shipyard workers and farmers to row in flawless harmony, to find “the swing” in the boat that every crew strives to attain. The heart of the dramatic work is Joe Rantz, abandoned as a young teenager during the Great Depression and left to scratch a living for himself while he lived in a bleak, half-finished farmhouse and continued to attend and complete high school with excellent grades. He did not row for glory. He began to row simply to get a job to help pay for his education—the university would find work on campus for students on the rowing team—and to regain his shattered sense of self and regard. In Harm’s Way (2001) by Douglas Stanton is a harrowing account of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis, torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in the South Pacific in 1945. The sinking of the battleship left nearly 900 sailors bobbing in a savage sea at the mercy of the elements and deadly predators, without anyone at naval headquarters realizing the loss for almost five days. The men in the water, huddled in large groups, struggled to stay alive, fighting off recurring
shark attacks, hypothermia, starvation and dementia. An American seaplane, purely by accident, eventually spotted the men in the water. By this time the sharks and exposure had killed almost 600 of the sailors, leaving 321 survivors (four of whom subsequently died). The navy high command, responsible for the foul-up that led to the worst naval disaster in American history, needed a scapegoat and found one in Capt. Charles Butler McVay, the captain of the ship. At a subsequent court-marshal a jury of admirals, under the instructions to find Capt. McVay guilty, courtmarshalled him for the loss of his ship, despite the vigorous protests of his remaining crew. The work of the surviving crew members the next five decades to overturn the verdict finally bore fruit at a new trial in 2000 when the navy finally admitted Capt. McVay did not bear any responsibility for the loss of the USS Indianapolis. The author interweaves the stories of three survivors—the captain, ship’s doctor and a young marine—to create the definitive account of a little-known chapter in World War II history that is once immediate and timeless. – These books are available at your branch of the Okanagan Regional Library, www.orl.bc.ca.

Ribbon cut on Royal York Estates GRAEME CORBETT Business Editor
With three different housing styles in three different price ranges, Royal York Estates is hoping to offer something for everyone with the launch of its 45-unit subdivision in Armstrong. A small crowd gathered for a ribbon cutting ceremony Wednesday afternoon at the entrance of Armstrong’s first gated community, adjacent to Royal York Golf Club, to celebrate the project’s launch. Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper did the honours. “A development like this is really a partnership with the owners, developers, the community and city,” said Pieper. “During the past years, the city has worked with the York family and present-day developers Patrick (Place) and John (Groeneveld) to bring a fantastic community development around our great little golf course.” Pieper added that, through negotiation with the developers of both Royal York Estates and the Southgate project on Harding Road, the city will build a new water supply that will service the southeast area of Armstrong. “This loop will give everyone in this area a superior fire flow, as well as a more reliable, single source of city water,” said Pieper. The Royal York development has also donated one acre and about $55,000 for park development along Meighan Creek. The Royal York project consists of 45 lots, 15 of which will be offered as custom-build homes. Those lots have a 60-foot road frontage and are 135 feet deep. There are 15 cottage-style homes with full basements that have been pre-designed for ease of planning, allowing the buyer to hand pick certain design features. Single-level duplexed townhomes make up the remaining 15 homes. They offer full basements, guest bedrooms, and the interiors and exteriors can also be customized with

Lot prices start at $139,900, and unit prices start at $399,000. “Three different types of home in three different price ranges. Hopefully there’s something for everybody,” said Place, who noted the look of the subdivision will follow that of the stunning Royal York clubhouse, rebuilt several years ago due to a fire. “There’s a real desire for the type of housing that we’re building. We do have people moving from other areas who have an expectation for more of an upper-scale home.” Some of the design features in the devel-
opment include the timber and masonry work at the front gate and light standards along the estate’s roadway. “We liked the look of the timberframe and rock work,” said Groeneveld. “We wanted to keep it the same so it all ties together.” Groeneveld has begun construction of one of the townhouses, and added there are two more scheduled to begin shortly. Place is awaiting a permit to begin building a showhome. The land the development sits on used to be an RV park. While Place and Groeneveld were going through the rezoning and devel-
opment process, they spoke with a number of people who felt a gated community would be a worthy feature as some residents head south every winter. “It just gives them that piece of security when they’re gone,” said Place. “And it creates a nice entrance. It sets the tone for a certain style.” And while Royal York Estates isn’t an agerestricted project, Place expects the majority of buyers will be from the baby boomer/ snowbird generation. “It isn’t age restricted, and we’ve got some got some larger lots for family homes.”
Okanagan tourism officials attend Australian conference Morning Star Staff
The Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association’s regional tourism strategy is garnering interest Down Under. Association representatives have been invited to share insights on its strategy at the Southern
Queensland Country annual conference in Toowoomba, Australia. “I am pleased and honoured that Southern Queensland Tourism has asked our organization to present what we are doing in the region and our strategy at their annual conference,” said Michael
Ballingall, TOTA chairperson. “Our core philosophy as an organization is one of inclusiveness and strategic alignment. This invitation exhibits that our strategy is not only benefitting the TOTA region and British Columbia, but we now have the confidence of one
of the greatest tourism brands in the world.” Ballingall and TOTA president Glenn Mandziuk signed a memorandum of understanding with Southern Queensland Country Tourism CEO Mary-Clare Power last year. This information shar-
ing agreement was the first international region-to-region tourism partnership ever formed. In addition to being invited to the conference, plans are underway for TOTA officials to have meetings with the minister of tourism for Australia.

Demand growing for truck drivers Morning Star Staff
In the provincial government’s Labour Market Outlook 2022, transport truck drivers were identified as number two in the top-10 mostneeded professions. It’s estimated that the province will need a whopping 18,000 drivers by 2022. Steve Moores “Those numbers are staggering,” said Steve Moores, Okanagan College’s dean of trades and apprenticeship.
“But the college is partnering with both industry and the government to fill that gap and provide workers with the skills they need to be competitive in the future.” Okanagan College joined forces seven years ago with Taylor Pro Training to offer class one driver training. This experiential, full-time program covers the broad range of hands-on skills necessary to find employment as a transport truck driver and can be completed in just six weeks. The provincial government, realizing this looming shortage, has provided full funding for the program to eligible applicants through the Canada-B.C. Job Fund. Of the 32 students who participated
last year in the tuition-free program, 29 found employment in the trucking industry. To be eligible for the funding, applicants must be unemployed, legally entitled to work in Canada, a resident of B.C., not currently receiving employment insurance or have not received it in the last three years, not enrolled in high school or another post-secondary training program, and not participating in another government-funded program. A Vernon intake for the class one driver training program is happening Dec. 15. For more information about the program, contact Shawna Klempner at 1-877755-2266, ext. 4479.

Report highlights value of degree Morning Star Staff
A B.C. university degree is a proven path to employment, according to a report released by B.C.’s six research universities, which tracks the outcomes of the graduating class of 2008. Called Putting Degrees to Work, the report uses student survey data collected by B.C. Stats showing that five years after graduating, the class of 2008 has lower unemployment rates and higher salaries than those who did not complete an undergraduate degree. Contrary to the view that university degrees aren’t relevant to today’s job market, Andrew Petter the report shows that the vast majority of university graduates are working in fields related to their education. “The class of 2008 graduated on the cusp of the worst global economic downturn since the Great Depression,” said Andrew Petter, chairperson of the Research Universities’ Council of B.C. “Today’s survey shows that the skills and knowledge these students acquired at a B.C. university prepared them to take advantage of the economic recovery.” According to the report’s findings, the graduating class of 2008 had an unemployment rate of 4.7 per cent five years after collecting their degrees. This number was well below the overall provincial
unemployment rate of 6.6 per cent and the provincial youth unemployment rate of 12.9 per cent. At the same time, those graduates were earning a yearly average of $60,000. “Today’s economy is driven by creativity, innovation, and new ideas,” said University of B.C. president Arvind Gupta. “That’s why the skills our students acquire are so important in today’s fast-changing labour market.” In addition to tracking the Class of 2008, Putting Degrees to Work also shows how universities are responding to changing student demand. Degrees in engineering, applied sciences and business have increased by 34 per cent since 2006. “Today’s students are very savvy,” said University of Northern B.C. president Daniel Weeks. “And they are choosing fields that are in high demand by employers. That is leading to significant changes in university programming to meet the needs of today’s students. For example, at the University of Northern B.C., we are graduating more engineers than ever before, students who will be needed in B.C.’s emerging LNG industry.” University of Victoria president Jamie Cassels said that the survey reflects what employers around the province are telling him. “Many of B.C.’s leading job creators are looking for people with the kinds of skills that university teaches, from critical thinking to clear communication. That is one reason why we are seeing graduates in every program succeed in the job market.”

B.C. doctors want the federal government to clear the haze around when they can appropriately prescribe medical marijuana. Dr. William Cunningham, past president of Doctors of B.C. (formerly the B.C. Medical Association), said Health Canada should fund in-depth studies to generate sci-
entific evidence on the proper medical use of cannabis. He said Ottawa has so far shown little interest in conducting clinical trials and tests to clarify the key issues of concern to physicians – which patients should and should not use marijuana, what the correct dosage is, and what dangerous interactions might arise in combination with other

The guidelines advise doctors to only authorize medical marijuana for patients with

chronic nerve pain who haven’t found relief through other treatments. The college concluded medical pot isn’t appropriate for people under 25, those with a history of psychosis or substance abuse, or for treatment of insomnia or anxiety.

EARLY DEADLINE NOTICE
in controlling arthritis pain and, if so, what’s the best delivery method. The society says large numbers of authorized medical marijuana users are arthritis sufferers. B.C. doctors are under growing pressure from the public to prescribe pot but many have refused to do so due to concerns about liability and the lack of acceptable scientific evidence. Other pot-friendly doctors actively court the medical marijuana business, some running web clinics that offer rapid approvals via video conference. “That is a huge concern,” Cunningham said. “I don’t think anybody should be doing that by Skype or FaceTime without examining the patient.” Federal policy has put doctors in a very difficult position of being expected to prescribe a drug that is not authorized for therapeutic use, he added. Nearly 40,000 Canadians are believed to use marijuana for medical purposes. Commercial producers are building medical marijuana factories that Ottawa intends to make the sole legal sources. But a court challenge of the new federal policy is expected to be heard next year and previously licensed users hope to retain their ability to grow their own marijuana. Cunningham said Doctors of B.C. also supports screening tools to detect drivers impaired by marijuana.

Flu season may be early It’s a good year to get a shot of influenza vaccine early, says provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall. “We’re already starting to see some influenza activity around the province, which suggests that this flu season may be coming earlier than past flu
seasons,” said Kendall. Health Minister Terry Lake said flu vaccination is on the upswing in B.C., with last year setting a record for doses of vaccine administered. That includes 76 per cent of health care workers, who are now required to get vaccinated or wear a mask in patient care areas during the winter flu season.

One of the highlights for visitors on the island of Molokai is going on a mule trek. A number of adventure opportunities abound.
Molokai adventure awaits CHERIE THIESSEN Special To The Morning Star
HAWAII - “Trust the mules”, says Buzzy Sproat soothingly. But before I trust the mules, I have to trust the man himself: a grizzled, grey-bearded muleskinner in signature leather chaps. Nine of us are about to mount a bevy of nonchalant equine relatives and plunge down the tallest sea cliff in the world. ‘The man’ is a gold-plated Molokai fixture, well known in the Hawaii rodeo circuit and one of the islands’ foremost experts on mules. More than 40 years ago, he was the first to ride one down the route we are about to take and when the previous owner closed the business in 1993, Buzz was the one who started it up again with local businessman Roy Horne. “We’ve never lost anyone,” he assures us. “Mules don’t want to commit suicide.” So OK, now I trust the man and I give my mule, Stripe, a pat, anxious to bond as soon as possible. Its coat is actually spotted not striped, but Buzz tells me he named the mule Stripe to remind him that this was not a democratic operation but a dictatorship. I hope Stripe got the message. Then we’re off, a lumbering gait that suits us all fine, because soon we’re starting down the 1,700-foot sheer drop. Consisting of 26 switchbacks, it’s 1.5 mules wide and almost three miles down to the Kalaupapa National Historic Park, an infamous leper colony on Molokai’s central northern coast. Open by invitation only, the well maintained community is still home to some Hansen’s Disease patients and it’s dedicated to the preservation of the past and the education of future generations about a little understood and much feared disease. An hour and a half later, dismounting

Visitors hike the skinny boardwalk in the Kamakou Preserve. on rubbery legs, we board the bus waiting on the verdant field. In a tour lasting several hours, we learn all about the colony’s history and hear stories of the remarkable, now sainted Belgian priest who arrived here in 1873, Father Damien. All too soon we’re heading back to the mules and the plod up the cliffs. Part way up we squish against several pairs of intrepid hikers who have paid for their permits to visit Kalaupapa and are now paying again — in sweat. While some may consider this laid back little island of 7,500 a little too quiet, even after we’ve crammed all of our adventures into two weeks, we still feel we’re leaving too soon. The adrenalin continues on our next experience — hugging the coastal oneway road en route to Halawa on the easternmost part of the island, prodding the fringes of the road as much as we dare. Turning a final corner, we all uni-
formly gasp as we find ourselves staring at the iconic tropical nirvana scene of twin waterfalls streaming from jungle cliffs. It’s the stuff Hawaiian movies are made of. Once we’ve inched our way down to the end, we’re off to eat windfall coconuts, watch surfers, and tumble in the friendly breakers ourselves on a wide sweep of beach shared only with two others. High up on the adventure scale is also the hike in Kamakou Preserve’s thriving rain forest in the mountains of East Molokai. Guided by a naturalist who knows every inch of this pristine natural habitat, we teeter on the narrow boardwalk, eagerly crowded on both sides by over 200 species of native plants. Traversing a mountain bog we then picnic on an aerie high above Pelekunu Valley. And then there’s the fun of new beach discoveries, like Dixie Maru Beach on the west side, or Mile 20 beach towards the eastern end, a snorkelling haven. There’s the camaraderie of Hawaiian music at the Paddlers Inn, the Coffees of Hawaii café and the Molokai Hotel. There’s the rush of being splashed by a curious Humpback Whale, and then, there are the thrills of a day on a 40-foot Catamaran with Kimo and his team, snorkelling in the largest fringing reef in the United States while Kimo spears fish for a cookout back on the wharf. There’s the Saturday market in the Hawaiian cowboy (paniolo) village of Kaunakakai, where we discover what an eggfruit tastes like, pick up sourdough bread, and drink milk from coconuts. But perhaps the best thrill is when we realize that we tourists are the minority here. No worries though, the natives are friendly. Cherie Thiessen is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder HOW WOULD YOU REACH THE RIGHT CONTRACT? Saki, a Scottish short-story author who died in 1916, said, “I think she must have been very strictly brought up, she’s so desperately anxious to do the wrong thing correctly.” This week we have had a series of deals in which the bidding has not been either clear-cut or accurate. And on some, the opening lead has been weird. Here is one more in which the right final contract was not reached. How should the auction have gone? North might have rebid three clubs with such a strong suit and seven playing tricks. South’s sensible two-diamond rebid was forcing for one round. Note
also that this guaranteed at least five spades and denied four hearts; with 5-4-4-0 distribution, he would have rebid two hearts -- we love majors and dislike minors. Then maybe North should have continued with two hearts (hoping partner could bid no-trump) or two notrump (hoping it would not wrongside the contract). However, when North bid two spades, South should not have jumped to four spades. He should have bid three no-trump to offer a choice of games. Here, North would have passed, but if he had held three spades, he would have corrected back to four spades. As you will have seen, there are 10 top tricks in no-trump:
one spade, two hearts, one diamond and six clubs. But four spades had no chance. And even if spades had been 3-3, careful defense could have defeated that game. Always try to keep your options open. And remember that partner will not forget your earlier bids and their meanings.
