Refugee rescue plan unfolding
CONTINUING THE DREAM
ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
It was a typical Armstrong response. A public meeting was called for Tuesday night to discuss the possibility of residents and organizations banding together to bring a family from Syria to the community. More than 70 people showed up for the two-hour meeting at the Pleasant Valley Secondary School auditorium. “Our goal is to have a community-based project,” said organizer Ron Brinnen, a retired PVSS teacher, on Wednesday. “Last night reflected that. “If we’d had a go button to hit, the room would have exploded into action. You could feel the energy. It was really wonderful.” Brinnen got the idea of bringing a family to the community after seeing the image of a drowned three-year-old Syrian boy, and after talking to a three-year-old boy — Paul Brinnen while parking cars as a volunteer at the Interior Provincial Exhibition. Brinnen and Mayor Chris Pieper chaired the meeting with Bishop James Cowan of the Anglican Church and Rev. Barry Castle of the United Church giving some background on the refugee situation. It is hoped, said Brinnen, that the United Church will become the sponsorship agreement holder, though there is a process the church would have to go through. Following the meeting, people were asked, if interested in forming a steering committee, to leave their names and any resources and/or skills they offer. Like the attendance at the meeting, Brinnen was thrilled with the response. “A significant number came forward, off the top of my head I’d say at least 20,” said Brinnen. “We had them explaining where their interests lay, what their experiences were and how they could help the process.” Even though no financial account for the effort has been established, one resident wrote a cheque for $500 as a contribution and walked out the door. A GoFundMe.com account (Armstrong Spallumcheen Refugee Fund) has been opened with a goal of raising $35,000, which is the number required to ask Immigration Canada for a family to come to Armstrong. Brinnen and Pieper will sit down in the next week and look at forming the steering committee. “We’re still feeling our way through this,” said Brinnen, who said there won’t be another public meeting on the topic “at this point.” “There were a lot of wonderful people at the meeting, all there to help in their own unique ways,” said Brinnen.
“You could feel the energy. It was really wonderful.”

New citizens take privilege seriously RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Natthawadee Wathir and Chermel Binas aren’t just sitting on the sidelines. New Canadians, they are preparing to cast ballots in their first federal election Oct. 19. “It’s our right to vote as a citizen and I want a voice,” said Binas, who grew up in the Philippines, and is surprised by the low voter turnout in this country. “I think they (people) don’t care, whereas in the Philippines, it’s 90 per cent.” Wathir voted regularly in her native Thailand and it’s a tradition she wants to continue here. “I want the best for Canada and to use my rights,” she said. “Some people don’t care and don’t think voting will change anything. But it’s not right because things can change.” Both are undecided leading up to Oct. 19, but they are doing their homework and familiarizing themselves with the candidates and platforms. “I’m asking co-workers about the issues and parties,” said Binas. Wathir is watching a lot of television news. “I also look online and see

“I would love all Canadians to hear this because it’s so important,” she said. “Sixty one per cent voted in the last election and 39 per cent of that voted for the government. A lot of Canadians don’t have their

Enrolment surpasses projections KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
When the Vernon School District prepares its annual budget, it’s all about enrolment: more students in the classroom means more money from the Ministry of Education. And for the 2015/16 school year, superintendent Joe Rogers is happy to report that enrolment is up by about 70 students from initial projections. “To analyze this from last September, we’re up about 100 kids,” said Rogers, at Wednesday’s district board meeting. “These numbers are still in flux because we have
“This is really good news.”
— Joe Rogers some kids who might be registered in two or three districts, but this is really good news.” Total enrolment is at 8,400 students — 200 are international students, 1,100 are aboriginal students. Projected enrolment was for 7,820 full-
time equivalent (FTE) students in the regular program, kindergarten to Grade 12, but as of Wednesday at 3:45 p.m., total enrolment is at 7,894 students. The alternate program — which takes kids all year long — is at 99 FTE students; distributed learning is at 108; level one special needs is five; level two is 230; level three is 50; English language learning is at 70. Adult education and continuing education numbers were not available at press time. “Vernon is out of funding protection and out of declining enrolment,” said Rogers. “This is good news to be on the positive side of the ledger as we move forward.”

A particular demographic being targeted for the sessions are 18 to 24-year-olds. Wendy Zarr, a VDISS co-ordinator, hopes long-time Canadians will embrace the enthusiasm of their new compatriots. “They take a big step giving up their citizenship and participating in Canada,” she said.

Water comparisons doused RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A group scrutinizing Greater Vernon’s water utility is being urged to look beyond perceptions. The master water plan stakeholder advisory committee held its inaugural session Thursday and one of the members raised a common public comment that local water rates are higher than in other communities. “Being compared to Penticton and Kelowna is comparing apples to oranges,” said Zee Marcolin, utility manager for the Regional District of North Okanagan. “Kelowna has five utilities and the City of Kelowna’s utility covers a compact area and only has domestic customers and not agriculture.” Besides the City of Kelowna’s water utility, which draws from Okanagan Lake, the rest of that community is served by irrigation districts, which use other water sources, such as creeks. “There isn’t just one utility called the Kelowna utility,” said Jim Garlick, SAC chairperson and Coldstream mayor. The cost of conforming to provincial water quality regulations is an issue in Kelowna just as it is in Greater Vernon.
“We are one of the few regional systems.” — Zee Marcolin
“They (irrigation districts) are facing challenges because they are fragmented,” said Garlick. In Kelowna, Mayor Colin Basran has expressed concerns about multiple water improvement districts and the ability to pay for improvements. As a result, representatives from the Black Mountain Irrigation District, Glenmore-
Ellison Improvement District, Rutland Waterworks and South East Kelowna Irrigation District recently issued a statement. “While the idea of one grand interconnected utility may sound appealing there are realistic technical challenges with this notion. With different sources and water qualities within the five districts, would those
in a district with better water quality be willing to sacrifice their good water and have water from a utility with lesser quality water now being delivered to their homes and businesses?” they stated. After years of discussions, Vernon and Coldstream’s municipal utilities merged with the former Vernon Irrigation District in 2002 to form a single entity. “Greater Vernon Water is the third largest utility in B.C. by volume,” said Marcolin. “We are one of the few regional systems.” Greater Vernon Water serves about 53,000 people, has 83

Time with the top dogs of B.C. allowed Coldstream the chance to add pressure on topics ranging from seniors beds to water and a regional referendum. Mayor Jim Garlick managed to squeeze in meetings with a number of ministers to ensure local concerns are heard at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver. “We had a talk with IHA (Interior Jim Garlick Health Authority) regarding seniors beds in our area,” said Garlick. There are currently zero residential care beds in the district yet Coldstream Meadows is ready and waiting to provide them, but must gain the contract. A
request for proposals for 85 new beds in Vernon was issued earlier this year and an announcement is looming. Agriculture was also on Coldstream’s agenda at the convention as it urged the importance of the agricultural land commission as well as manure management. “There is a consultation paper which we need to get a hold of,” said Garlick, of the manure management topic, which Coldstream has long been pushing for. “They did a white paper (previously) which they decided not to go ahead with.” The Ministry of Environment was also asked to do more testing on Coldstream Creek. Water fund concerns were flowing as well. “How are we going to deal with funding for master water plans?” Garlick questioned. Meeting with Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Peter Fassbender, Garlick pointed out the need

Mussels were also a topic of concern when it comes to protecting local waterways. “We will keep pushing the province to do what they can.” Provincial officials were also questioned about the delay on referendum approval for a twinned rink at Kal Tire Place. “What was indicated to us was there was a changeover in staff...and they’re just getting up to speed,” said Garlick. “Oct. 6 is what we said was our dropdead date, so it doesn’t get lost in a pile of other things.” But it wasn’t all requests and hands out. Coldstream also took the time to thank the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for the paving on Highway 6 as well as the Kalamalka Lake lookout.

Since Coldstream contributed to installing the sign, Vernon had hoped it would contribute to hiring a wrecking ball. “They estimate $2,000 to do the work,” said Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick. The district has agreed to contribute inkind to the demolition by providing trucking materials to the dump. “In kind, not money, we’ll do the labour,” said Coun. Doug Dirk. Vernon was seeking support from the electoral areas to also help fund the demolition, but Garlick points out that it is not their responsibility. “Areas B (BX-Swan Lake) and C (BX-Silver Star) did not participate in that grant, it was Vernon and Coldstream.”

Council debates animals, amphibians RICHARD ROLKE
“The toad habitat will be attacked by giant machinery.”
Morning Star Staff
Frogs and dogs continue to dominate debate at Vernon city hall. Two weeks after a lengthy discussion about spadefoot toads and dogs being offleash, the discussion resumed among council Monday. C oun. S cott Anderson voted against adding the parks master plan to the official community plan because the document doesn’t identify an off-leash area for dogs along Vernon Creek, near Marshall Field. The plan designates the area as on-leash only to protect spadefoot toad habitat. “The toad habitat will be attacked by giant machinery,” he said of
— Scott Anderson
the long-term proposal to expand the adjacent airport runway. While Anderson says he received an e-mail from a resident wanting off-leash access for dogs, that was dismissed by Coun. Juliette Cunningham. “Just because we get an e-mail, are we going to unravel the parks plan?” she said. Adding the parks plan to the official community plan was approved by council with Anderson and Coun. Bob Spiers
opposed (Coun. Brian Quiring was absent). Provincial flag missing There’s a flag flap in downtown Vernon. Concerns have been raised that Alberta’s flag is missing among the provincial and territorial flags in Cenotaph Park. “We should take a look at that,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. One theory is the Alberta flag may have been removed a few years ago when a new territory - Nunavut -
was formed in Canada, and space was needed for Nunavut’s flag. City staff will investigate the matter, including possibly installing an additional flag pole. Tax exemptions granted There are winners and losers when it comes to property tax exemptions in Vernon. City council has approved 2016 exemptions for a number of properties. “They are pretty straight forward,” said Coun. Bob Spiers. They include a 100 per cent exemption for the heronry in north Vernon, 100 per cent for John Howard Society property on 24th Avenue and 100 per cent for Kindale property on 35th

Are You or Your Child in Pain? Whenever your body takes an impact, your spine (the core of your body), absorbs a great deal of stress. The spine is a flexible column of bones held together by strong ligaments, its movement is coordinated by an intricate system of muscles which are designed to protect the spinal cord - the nerve tract that serves as a highway of information between your brain and body. Sudden falls, awkward twists, sport tackles or any other impacts often lead to tiny tears in the ligaments holding your spine together. When this connection tissue is weakened, it causes the vertebrae to shift out of alignment. How many times have you seen your child tumble, get tackled, or
injure themselves? How many impacts has your own body endured throughout your life? Most people don’t realize that these tiny spinal misalignments can exert irritating pressure on the nerves exiting between the vertebrae. The nerves are pain-sensitive. Eventually they’ll alert you something is wrong when enough damage has been done. Doctors of Chiropractic aim to help your body recover from these spinal imbalances and injuries so that health performance is enhanced. And it’s not just about adult pain. We are a child friendly practice that focuses on prevention. Written by Dr. Elliot Lysyk

I
Hat’s off to the Jays
wear a Toronto Blue Jays baseball hat when I’m out and about in the community. Not when I’m working, of course, but on the weekends I’m forced to don some kind of hat to protect my bald spot from burning in the hot Okanagan sun. Plus it also conveniently covers my folicallychallenged status and may, or may not, make me look a little younger, or hopefully not but maybe just look like someone who is trying desperately to look younger but is not really pulling it off. And no, I don’t wear it the new way like my kids do (kinda sideways like), I actually pull it down over my head so hopefully that’s at least ageappropriate. Now the fact that it’s a Blue Jays hat and said Glenn Mitchell team has recently clinched the American League East title and will soon be in the playoffs for the first time since the World Champion years of 1992 and ‘93 may lead some to assume I’m jumping on the proverbial bandwagon at the last minute. Hardly. I’ve had the hat for well over a year and to be honest I bought it less because it was the Blue Jays and more because it is a funky, stylized version of the logo and it was time to retire my funky, stylized retro Montreal Expos hat, which also drew its fair share of attention and story-telling about the good old days of that now-defunct franchise (unless you’ve adopted the Washington Nationals as your own because that’s where Les Expos moved to many years ago). So, it’s more about looks, just call me shallow if you like, but that’s not to say that I’m not a fan of those two teams, because I am, and I can probably pass most trivia tests put before me to prove that fact (although I may regret stating that). However, I once wore an Edmonton Eskimos hat and a Kamloops Blazers hat for a considerable amount of time for the practical reasons stated above (the former because I went to a game at Commonwealth Stadium and the latter was a gift) even though I’m a Lions fan and more a Rockets
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
than Blazers fan but, again, they looked good. Yeah, yeah, some fan I am. It’s just protecting the noggin comes first and fashion comes before fandom but if you can ever combine the two even better. Which brings me back full circle to the aforementioned Jays hat. Like the team itself, it’s getting more attention lately. The other night while filling up with gas a stranger looked my way and asked: “Did they win tonight?” It took me aback at first because usually selfserve etiquette is more about staring off into space as the dial spins astronomically fast, especially the price one, but I quickly figured out he was talking about the Blue Jays, due to said hat on my head. And before you know it I’m excitedly telling him about an amazing ninth-inning rally and Donaldson this and Batista that and I expanded into my recent trip to Toronto to witness Tulowitzki’s first game, as if my family and I being there helped start this second-half rally to greatness – and he listened attentively and said a couple appropriate things and we bonded and left happier than when we first drove in to fill up on $1.17.9 gasoline. That’s the beauty of this thing, not only does it get people excited about sports and ‘our team,’ but it brings people together and is probably doing more for national unity and general morale than any politician has done since, well, since, a very long time. In fact if the Blue Jays keep winning I would say it’s a spillover feelgood effect for the ruling party (you know, the blue one), but if they flame out in the first round..... Certainly I understand if you’re a diehard Yankees, or Red Sox or even Dodgers fan this all might seem, well, a little shallow and not earned at all, especially when it comes to the newbies, and, hey, I respect and get that. So don’t feel you have to join the bandwagon but please don’t begrudge us who have and I for one am ready to heartily enjoy meaningful baseball in October with friends and strangers alike. And did I mention I got my Blue Jays hat well over a year ago, maybe two?
Consensus building in this province is a difficult proposition. Not quite an exercise in futility, but it’s in the neighbourhood. Think of the varied forms of land we have. The regions of this province look very different from each other and have different challenges. A Prince George winter looks nothing like January in Victoria. The diversity of this province – both its land and people – is never more evident than it is every year at the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference. To a city councillor from, say, Williams Lake, Vancouver and Victoria politicians must sound like they are from a distant land speaking an unfamiliar language when they talk about homelessness issues. While this kind of diversity makes us a unique and enviable province, it also presents problems for politicians, especially the ones who are sent to Victoria as MLAs. It poses problems for political parties, too. The NDP, for example, has a long history of support from trade unions. But the NDP all has a strong faction that is, for the lack of a better term, green, people who do not support mega projects. The B.C. Liberals have different challenges, but with a similar theme of geographical/philosophical diversity. What is a party, a leader, an MLA to do? The easy answer is to keep tabs on what is being said on Main Street in your constituency and vote accordingly. But that’s naive — our powerful party system gets in the way of that form of simplicity and if you are a member of the governing party you have a wider responsibility for the entire province. There is no simple answer. Perhaps it is just a matter of holding on for a never-ending, bumpy ride. But we should never lose sight of the fact that this diversity should do more to make us a great place than it does to drive us apart. -Black Press

Make sure your voice is heard
s I sit staring into my crystal ball, a newspaper headline screams out at me. The paper is dated Oct. 20 and the headline reads “Conservative candidates sweep the Okanagan again.” There must be a news blackout is this valley. Or perhaps we have the shortest memories in Canada. We don’t remember how Harper took over the Progressive Conservative party and coerced it into the Conservative Party of Canada, which then went on to show its colours in the last three elections (robo calls, campaign over spending). During his micro-managed era, we have witnessed the withholding of information on the purchase of F-35 fighter jets, denial of climate change, the closing of funding for scientific research, Canada being ousted from the United Nations Security Council, eight consecutive deficits, dragging Canada into war and handpicked senators who have allegedly stolen from taxpayers. NO DECORUM AT FORUM To those who heckled, yelled, and treated fellow audience members, and a specific candidate, at the recent forum abusively? Shame on you. Shame on the candidate you represent and support, for spending the past 18 months demonstrating in our streets, attempting to develop this attitude in our communities working for, and using tactics of both the Occupy and Lead Now movements, which this candidate has consistently bragged about. One reaps what they sow, Ms. Gingras. I sincerely hope that all Vernon voters will recognize the offensive audience of supporters you have created was exactly the intent the NDP has worked toward. I hold you accountable. The best way for us to express displeasure at this shameful behaviour? Vote Conservative proudly, boldly and without fear, and show that no matter how much effort the NDP has placed into attempting to shame us, mute us, or in
But the train wreck continues. There is the changing of electoral boundaries where 30 new ridings were installed to create a more Conservative voting base and renamed 31 others to insure voter confusion. How could we forget the omnibus bills and Bill C51? And then to top it off, parents were
shouting us down, the voice of our free country will not be silenced in October. My vote will also make sure that those who believe it appropriate to behave as they did at this forum do not reach a position of power in our community. Bobbi Fox CLEAN THE CREEK First, Coldstream Creek, the creek that runs into our water source, Kalamalka Lake, was very clean compared to the last time we cleaned it. Previously, we found a disgusting amount of garbage in Coldstream Creek. By the end of our first clean, we had four huge bags of garbage, including an old bicycle and a tin roof from somebody's shed. This time, we only found about half a bag of garbage and half a bag of recycling. So excited. Unfortunately, one negative was we found a shopping cart in the creek. That is very bad because the cart will rust and the rust will eventually end up in Kalamalka Lake.
bribed with our own tax dollars. However, this child tax credit will have to be paid back with our next income tax bill. There has been nothing in the past nine years for young families trying to purchase their first home. There is no help for post-secondary students struggling from crushing debt.
As well, polluters chose to litter in Coldstream Creek tons of cigarette butts, 124 in total. The most were found around the picnic tables and paths. This is not only bad for our water and animal habitat, but if not put out correctly, will start a fire. We encourage the community to use the garbage cans provided. However, cigarette disposal containers might eliminate this apparent issue for some of our local smokers. Overall, my class and I are overjoyed with the improvement in the cleanliness of Coldstream Creek, the fresh water leading to our drinking source, Kalamalka Lake. Getting happier, yet still concerned. Myah Gallie Kala Star School, Grade 8 LANDING IGNORED The headline Sept. 4 was Vernon politician wants more water lines. Brian Quiring stated, "It is mind boggling that we dragged the sewer line down there and
How about help for single parents or low-income parents who cannot afford day care? Nope, nothing. First Nations Canadians will again receive the same treatment they did under previous Harper governments. Cutbacks and broken promises. Missing aboriginal women? Swept under the rug. Our war veterans have had Veterans Affairs offices closed and services cut in the face of a rising wave of post-traumatic stress disorder suicides. I predict that Harper will win not because he is the best choice, but because he knows that 61 per cent of our population will not vote. He is counting on the apathy of the young, the poor, the First Nations and the disillusioned to abandon their right to vote. Today, the most subversive act an Okanagan Canadian can do is to become informed and get out and vote. Brent Applegath
we didn't extend sewer," and, "we need to extend water lines farther into Okanagan Landing." I lived in Okanagan Landing from 1980 until 2009. In 1993, we were asked to join Vernon to get city services and we were told we were polluting the lake with out septic tanks. What happened? We did not get city water. No more talk of polluting the lake with our septic tanks. What we got was increased property taxes only. Where I lived, I was less than one block from city sewer and water. Neither was made available to me or my neighbours. When I sold in 2009, I am sure my property values were lowered by the lack of sewer and water. I loved living in Vernon and was reluctant to leave after 29 years. One factor in leaving was I do not like being treated as a secondclass citizen. So Mr. Quiring, thank you for your concern. In my experience, you will get
nowhere in getting the city to honour its commitment to provide city services made in 1993. Don Macleod

The Okanagan Indian Band won’t be endorsing any political party in this year’s federal election for fear that it could have a negative impact on the band’s future ability to partner with the federal government. Chief Byron Louis says aboriginal leaders have been stung in the past by publicly supporting one party over another and he added that he has rarely voted in federal elections because he doesn’t want his band to suffer the consequences of supporting the wrong party. “Asking First Nations at the national level and down to endorse any political party puts us in a very bad position,”
said Louis. “In the past we have suffered greatly for this. We are not in a position to be critical of anybody because they have a way of making us pay. It’s undeniable and a reality for a lot of First Nations. Why take a chance (by voting) if you are going to be penalized for your vote.” Louis pointed to high profile First Nations leaders such as Ovide Mercredi, the national chief of the Assembly of First Nations from 1994 to ‘97, who had a close relationship to prime minister Brian Mulroney and the Progressive Conservative party. But according to Louis, when the Liberals took power after the PC, funding to the AFN was slashed. Louis also said it was

the same with national chief Matthew Coon Come (2000 to 2003), who spoke out against PM Jean Chretien and Canada’s treatment of aboriginals only to see funding cut by as much as a third the next year. Louis said while the privacy of individual band member votes would be protected it wouldn’t be difficult for the governing party to find out who a particular native band was supporting. But he added as First Nations groups continue to evolve and become more self sufficient with development of its reserve land, the backlash for speaking out may come to an end. “The current process of punishing First Nations for being outspoken is going to be short-lived,” said Louis. “Once First Nations get back on their economic feet they will not have the opportunity to do that. With economic power, you finally get the respect of the powers that be. Up to this date we have been low in economic power but as that grows so does the ability to start to win influence.” Louis said the seven different native bands in the Okanagan represent about 5,600 people whose economic power is growing with more and more development on native land. And he said that development also serves to stimulate the local and regional economies. So while Louis said this year’s federal election is important, it’s more important that First Nations groups have a solid partnership with whichever party is in power. “For us there is no denying the importance of every federal election for aboriginal people and this one is no different,” he said. “We have to really look at the parties and who actually has the potential for forming government and what the platform is going to be for the next four years.”

City to play key role in hosting 55-Plus Games ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The City of Armstrong will play a large supporting role in the 2017 B.C. 55-Plus Games (formerly B.C. Seniors Games). The event was awarded to Greater Vernon at the official opening of the Greater Vernon Athletics Park at Okanagan College. “Armstrong will be a significant part of the Games for our (Interior Provincial Exhibition) fairgrounds and our buildings,” said Mayor Chris Pieper. “We’ve got two years to get ready for them.” The Games will run Sept. 12 to 16 and will feature approximately 4,000 athletes ages 55 to 100 competing in a wide range of sports. “Everything from cribbage to full-blown track sports,” said Pieper. Vernon hosted the first Seniors Games and 2017 will mark the 30th anniversary of the event. It’s also the same year as Canada’s 150th birthday.
The dates, of course, do not conflict with Armstrong’s annual IPE, which will celebrate its 118th anniversary in 2017.
“The Games are two weeks after the fair,” said Pieper. “I was concerned how close to the fair the Games may have been.”
What is Veterinary Acupuncture? Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture is defined as the insertion of needles into specific points on the body to produce a healing response. Treating animals with this form of medicine traces back to 300 BC where it was mainly used to treat agriculture animals, such as horses and cows. How does acupuncture work? Acupuncture can assist the body to heal itself. It does this by stimulating nerves, increase blood circulation, relieve muscle spasms and cause the release of one’s internal pain mediators. How can my pet benefit from acupuncture? Acupuncture can reduce pain in targeted areas. It has been shown useful in the management of osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal pain. Acupuncture can be effectively combined with most conventional and alternative therapies. Certified Veterinary Acupuncturists have the comprehensive training, knowledge and skill to understand the interactions between different forms of treatment and how they may apply to your pet. Contact us today to set up an appointment with Dr. Miles Latwat our Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist.

Curling stars sweep into Landing school JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
With top national curlers in town, some Vernon students were treated to a visit from the rulers of the rink. The reigning Canadian men’s champions rolled into Okanagan Landing Elementary School Friday to share their love of the sport with students, prior to play-
ing in the Prestige Hotels and Resorts Curling Classic at the Vernon Curling Club. Most of the intermediate classes have been taking lessons at the Vernon Curling Club, and those that haven’t are now primed to hit the ice. “I want to go ice curling,” said Kyan Chippendale, who is in Grade 4.

“Ice curling looks fun.” In fact, most of the top champs weren’t much older, some even younger, when their curling passions were ignited. Lead Nolan Thiessen, skip Pat Simmons, third John Morris and second Carter Rycroft were between five and 12 years old when they first took to the ice. “Back when I started curling, we won Nintendo’s, that’s how I got hooked on curling,” said Morris, who is also a Vancouver 2010 Olympic gold medalist. “This is the perfect age for you guys to get into it,” said Morris, who is a professional firefighter. “People have made the Olympics in curling starting when they were five and right up to when they were 20.” Thiessen didn’t start curling until he was 12
and didn’t get serious about the sport until he was about 20. “I started out playing hockey. I was a baseball player though and hockey was something to do in the winter,” said Thiessen, who switched ice surfaces and has stuck with it. “It’s pretty cool as now we get to travel the world and see a lot of cool places,” said Thiessen, who is a Certified Professional Accountant. The team is hoping to make it to Korea for the 2018 Olympics. Although they are the champions of their sport, one student asked if they still get nervous. “Absolutely, I definitely still get nervous before a big game. Not puking nervous but I definitely feel butterflies,” said Simmons, a chiropracter. Rycroft, who owns his own trucking company in Edmonton, admitted that he used to get really nervous, to the point where his stomach hurt, but over time he has gotten used to the pressure. Thiessen sympathized: “We’ve wanted to go to these (big games) since we were 10 years old so we all still get a little nervous.” Even local ice maker Dave Merklinger, who is being flown to
Ottawa to do the ice at the Brier, admitted he still has butterflies. “I get really nervous when I’m making ice for these guys,” said Merklinger. The team was excited to be in Vernon for the classic, even picking up some local apples to snack on over the weekend as they camped outside the curling club in an RV. The Curling Classic continues today and Monday. JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR

Hot dog poll backs Venture
JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR
Ron Howard (left) and John Topping invite the public down to Home Building Centre Friday and Saturday for the tradition of the election Hot Dog Poll in support of Venture Training.
If you relish exercising your democratic rights, this poll will cut the mustard. Venture Training is hosting a hot dog poll Friday and Saturday as a way of raising funds and profiling the North O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap candidates running in the federal election. “They are a lot of fun and very accurate,” said organizer John Topping. For $4, you get a hot dog and a drink and a chance to vote for Conservative Mel Arnold, Liberal Cindy Derkaz, Green Chris George and Jacqui Gingras, with the NDP. And unlike a real ballot, you can vote for none of the above. Stuffing the ballot box is also welcome by purchasing as many hot dogs as you want. “If they have a big
mouth and money, they can do that,” said Topping. “We also take votes from people under age 18. They need to get involved in the election process early in life.” All funds will go to Venture Training, which operates programs for developmentally disabled individuals. The hot dog poll will be held at Home Building Centre on 27th Street and runs Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Council meets ministers Morning Star Staff
Lake Country officials hope face-to-face lobbying with their provincial counterparts pays off. Council members met with Premier Christy Clark and cabinet ministers at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver. “The face-to-face meetings with the ministers were encouraging,” said Mayor James Baker. “Not only was there a high James Baker level of awareness of the issues our community is facing, but also agreement to work towards resolution of the challenges that are important to our residents.” Among the issues raised was the transference of the old Highway 97, now known as Pelmewash Parkway, to the ownership of the municipality. “Transportation Minister (Todd) Stone understood the issue is something the public is interested in and the devolution of the road corridor is actively being negotiated between the ministry and the district,” said Baker. Another ongoing concern is the lack of family doctors in the community. Council requested that the Ministry of Health support a multidisciplinary clinic pilot project and consider assisting the district with incentives to attract and retain physicians. Lake Country politicians also joined the Okanagan Basin Water Board in urging Clark to increase funding to prevent zebra and quagga mussels from infesting Okanagan lakes.
The other issue pursued by council was the need to build a middle school in the community. “As Lake Country is B.C.’s fastest-growing community and the three elementary schools have become over-enrolled, council believes a middle school to house the Grade 6 to 9 student population is necessary to relieve the pressure on the elementary schools,” said Baker. While at UBCM, Baker received a long-term service award for 25 years as an elected official. SELF GE! E YOUR CHANG P YOUR CHAN E E BUT K

Each year, the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan gives away $ half a million dollars to support a wide range of community needs. Support from the Community Foundation goes in two ways: • Grants go out each Fall from endowment funds where the donor has specified a charity or group of charities as beneficiaries, • Grants go out each Spring to charitable groups who have applied to the Foundation’s annual Community Grants cycle. The “Smart & Caring Community Campaign” aims to grow our endowment to $17 million by 2017. Our unique approach to philanthropy involves investing pooled donor gifts to create a perpetual source of income for charities.

Olympic reunion rink finds form Bernard leading Prestige Calgary’s Cheryl Bernard figures she’s played in at least 10 previous Vernon cashspiels, winning three times under intense pressure and great expectations. This time, Bernard and company are basic tourists in the $54,000 Prestige Hotels & Resorts Curling Classic. They plan to chill at the hotel, sip some red wine and catch up with family news. They are not, however, giftwrapping any eight-enders to the competition. Bernard is supported by third Susan O’Connor, second Carolyn McRorie (nee Darbyshire) and lead Cori Morris (nee Bartel). Bernard topped the women’s table at 4-0 after bouncing Kelly Scott of Kelowna Saturday morning. Scott fell to 3-1 in the 28-rink affair. The Bernard foursome claimed a silver medal at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, losing 7-6 to Sweden’s Anette Norberg) in an extra end. “We always love coming here so when we decided to have a reunion with our Olympic team, and this was the place,” smiled Bernard, 49, stretching in the curling club lobby prior to her Friday 1 p.m. draw. “I’m working for TSN and Carolyn wanted time off with her kids, and Cori and Sue just had kids so everybody’s all at different stages. This is for fun, but everytime we walk out there, the competitive juices get right up here again.” Team Bernard lost the semifinal of the 2011 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts and then disbanded. Shannon Aleksic, who used to curl for Kelley Law of Richmond and Bernard, was a fifth for Scott at a couple of national Scotties. Aleksic now throws third stones for Scott, who has Jenna Loder and Sarah Pyke at front end. “It’s a brand new kind of foursome and we’re definitely starting a bit later in the season compared to other teams from other provinces, but we’re happy that our first two games
went well and we’re playing well,” said Scott, 38. World Curling Tour cashspiels in Calgary, Portage la Prairie and Saskatoon are on Scott’s October calendar. Aleksic will play for Team B.C, at the national mixed, Nov. 6-15, in North Bay, Ont. before Team Scott gets into playdown season in hopes of reaching the national Scotties in Grande Prairie. “I like what I see so far,” said Scott before her Friday afternoon draw. “Great level of consistency throughout the lineup, great upbeat girls, lots of energy out there and we’re all bringing past experiences to the table. Jenna’s played with Cathy Overton and she was in Saskatchewan last winter so she brings some new perspectives. We’re still just learning and figuring things out.” Defending Prestige women’s champion Ayumi Ogasawara says her rink is not feeling any extra pressure and also faces a hectic cashspiel run. “We’re going to Calgary and Kamloops, then back to Japan for two weeks and then back to Canada for three weeks,” said Ogasawara, 36, who was 2-2 after losing 5-4 to Kesa Van Osch of Nanaimo early Saturday. Chelsea Carey of Calgary and Kelsey Rocque of Edmonton were both at 3-0 going into Saturday afternoon draws. The women’s final goes today at 3 p.m. with the champion earning $8,000 and the loser collecting $6,000. On the 12-team men’s side, New Westminster skips Sean Geall and Dean Joanisse were both 2-0 heading into Saturday action. Geall iced Yusuke Morozumi of Japan 6-1 and stopped Stephen Schenieder of Vancouver/Vernon 5-2. Joanisse brushed back Dave Merklinger of Vernon 6-4 and dispatched Pat Simmons of Calgary 5-1. Vernon’s Jim Cotter grounded defending champion Grant Dezura of Maple Ridge 5-3. Cotter was leading Geall 4-1 after four ends at press time Saturday at noon. The men’s final goes Monday at 12:30 p.m. Winner gets $5,000.

After losing 3-0 to the Powell River Kings in B.C. Hockey League play Friday night, the Vernon Vipers spent some extra time at Hap Parker Arena. Head coach Mark Ferner was frustrated with how the Snakes fell and addressed his players after Vernon dipped to 3-4-0-1 and fifth in the Interior Conference. “We had a good, long meeting,” said Ferner. “Right now, there is not a lot of confidence in our group. We need to learn how to trust one another and trust what’s being put on the ice. We need more from some guys. This is my sixth year coaching here and what I’m asking might be too hard for some of them. “I told them if we want success, we have to work hard and work hard for each other. Powell River won most of the races and battles because they got engaged and kept their nose over the puck. We’re not playing with heavy sticks.” The Vipers faced the Nanaimo Clippers Saturday night and battle the Victoria Grizzles this afternoon at the Q Centre to finish their road trip. The Clippers are in Vernon Friday night, while the Vipers entertain the Prince George Kings Saturday. “I told the guys I don’t care who we play, I care how we play,” said Ferner, who demands his players learn how to play away from the puck, one of the facets required to play NCAA college hockey. Ontario product Kyle Betts converted from Tristan Mullin 4:42 after the national anthem after a battle in front of goalie Andrew Shortridge. Betts, unassisted, and d-man Andy Stevens on
a point shot, from Jeremy Leipsic and Mullin, connected 68 seconds apart in the second period. Betts made it 2-0 on a breakaway after Viper blueliner Austin Cho blew a tire on a rush. Maple Ridge product Jeff Smith, who turned 20 Saturday, recorded his fifth win in seven starts for the Kings (6-2). Smith flashed leather to stone Jagger Williamson on a 2-on-1 with Colton McCarthy eight minutes into the third. Chris Protopoulos was ejected for a check from behind on Vernon’s Callum Volpe with 18 seconds left in the first period before 710 fans. Vernon’s top line of Odeen Tufto, Liam Finlay and Steven Jandric was ineffective. Riley Brandt was the other winger with McCarthy and Williamson. Zach Andrusiak made his Viper debut with Jimmy Lambert and Joey Cipollone, while Michael Roberts, Joe Sacco and Hunter Zandee made up the fourth unit. Powell River outshot Vernon 38-26. SNAKE BITES: D Darren Rizzolo (injured) and F Brett Stapley sat out in Powell River. Ferner planned to play Stapley the rest of the trip...Vernon obtained the rights to F Brandon Duhaine in Thursday’s deal which sent G Jarrod Schamerhorn to the Merritt Centennials. Duhaine, a Florida product, had 25 points with Merritt last year and is now with Chicago Steel of the USHL. The 18-yearold compiled 62 points with POE in Kelowna two years ago...The 11th annual CJHL Prospects Game will be held at the South Surrey Arena on Jan. 26, 2016. The rosters for the Prospects Game are chosen in partnership with NHL Central Scouting.
Caton gets Knights going Morning Star Staff
Blaine Caton bid farewell to his beloved grandfather and then scored twice as the North Okanagan Knights stopped the Summerland Steam 3-1 at Nor-Val Sports Centre in Armstrong. It was quite the emotional Friday for the 18-yearold Vernon product, playing his first Kootenay International Junior Hockey League of the season after being released three weeks ago by the Vipers. “I went to my grandpa’s service today in Vernon and my dad (Murray) went up to Chetwynd for the burial service,” said Blaine, 18. “My dad wanted me to stay here and play hockey which is what my grandpa would have wanted. I felt good out there considering I hadn’t played a game in more than a month and a half.”
Jan 27, 2015
Caton took a breakaway feed from linemate Graham Watkins and deked goalie Austin Wells before sliding the puck into the net, making it 2-1 with seven minutes left in the third period. Caton added an empty netter with 43 seconds to play, assisted by other linemate Austin Fournier. Jack Mills, on a powerplay three minutes in, gave Summerland the lead before Ryan Ignace responded for the Knights nine minutes later, from Mitchell Lukacs and Trent Reschlag. The Knights improved to 3-3-0-1 in front of 200 fans. They visit Summerland (4-2) this afternoon. “We’re going to have a hard-working, physical team that will wear teams down in the third period,” said Caton, who had six goals with the Vipers last year, including two in the playoffs.

Nicholas lifts Cats
Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Panthers followed a simple recipe to defeat the host Pitt Meadows Marauders 20-6 in senior AA high school football Friday night. Play stingy defense, create some timely turnovers and hit on in a few big plays. Offensive weapon Levi Nicholas once again stole the show churning out 150 yards on seven carries, including an 80-yard jaunt to put the Panthers up by 14 at the half. Following a Liam Boyd interception return deep into Pitt Meadows territory, Nicholas called his own number on a one-yard keep to put the game out of reach. “Levi was outstanding for us again today,” said Cats head coach Sean Smith. “He has a gear that very few players have and it allows him to break some big plays. He had three impact plays on the ground that really
opened things up for us.” Zack Hyer opened the scoring, snaring a jump ball and then evading two defenders before scampering into the end zone for a 35-yard score. The Panther defense was stingy all day, allowing the hosts one trip to the red zone late in the fourth. Standout defensive ends Josh Hyer (five tackles) and Ben Hladik (eight tackles, one sack) controlled the edges all game and made it tough to run outside. “Our ends were lights out again today and so was our secondary,” added Smith. Justin Haverkamp was 4-for-8 and 41 yards passing and one TD. Tyler Semeniuk chipped in with five tackles and one sack, while Liam Boyd rang up one interception. The Panthers host Westyde Blue Wave Friday in their first league game of the season (3:30) at Panther Field.

Professionals learn how to make change NATALIE APPLETON Special to The Morning Star
A candidate walks into a job interview and, after the introductions and niceties says, in her own words, ‘I adapt well to change.’ The manager’s ears perk up. A light goes on. This might be the hire. Why? Today, organizational change isn’t just common, it’s constant and intense, and what managers really want to know is how someone’s going stand up when ‘the winds of change’ blow. “Everyone thinks, ‘No one else is going through the kinds of changes we’re going through, but everybody is,” says Mark DeVolder, a change specialist Mark DeVolder and internationally acclaimed speaker giving the keynote address at the upcoming Vernon Women in Business Leadership Conference 2015. “What’s not normal is the change saturation companies are experiencing now. Each year it’s increasing and it’s only going to get worse. So, how do we become more resilient? How do we adapt?” DeVolder’s talk reveals how leaders can help ensure change initiatives succeed by giving people the skills and resources to become adaptable and resilient. The title of this year’s conference, being held Oct. 23 at Sparkling Hill Resort, is ‘Navigating Change.’ Conference founder Charlene Smart, owner of Smart & Associates Certified Professional Accountants, says the theme is fitting for the conference’s goal of helping professionals excel and support each other. “Change can be tiring and discouraging and costly, but it can also take you to the next level in your career. Growth means change. So for people who come and want to
up their game, all of that impacts the community positively.” For a lot of professionals, ‘navigating change’ is code for ‘not getting burned out.’ Conference organizers, then, thought it would be fitting to give professionals the tools they need to make it easier to eat well and lead a healthier, more balanced life. After DeVolder’s keynote address, guests will also hear from Christina Manuck, a registered dietitian who will provide resources to help professionals achieve true health as well as uncover the short and long-term impact of living ‘balanced.’ Third to take the stage is Colin Parker, CEO of Lonestar Sales Performance, to help entrepreneurs and executives take care of that other figure, the bottom line. Parker, based in Kelowna, helps small business owners implement better sales strategies for better results. Smart founded the conference, open to both men and women, in 2012 with the idea of reaching higher in mind. “I think this valley has such talent and we need to support each other in order to be successful. And sometimes it’s lonely in a small community striving to do your best.” For Hatt Fitness owner Jes Hatt, who attended in 2014, the conference offers both camaraderie and motivation. “What I really enjoyed was just being around people who want to improve, and having the chance to meet people,” said Hatt. “And on top of that I got to listen to some really amazing speakers.” Kristy Higgins, owner of Therapeutic Life Counselling, also attended last year. She said the chance to have face time with peers and experts allows us to connect and feel inspired to take on changes that would have others been more difficult or taken longer. “A lot of us are looking externally for a feeling we can tap into right now.

Blue has replaced red, as Best Buy has completed its transformation from the former Future Shop. All signage has been completed as well as new bright blue exterior paint and crisp clean interior paint. “The new interior paint has brightened and freshened everything up,” said Ashley Greenwood, Best Buy general manager. “It has done wonders for the morale of the store and the engagement of the staff. It was the face-lift and re-branding that everyone was looking for.” In March, Best Buy Co. announced it was closing 66 Future Shop locations across Canada and converting 65 Future Shop stores into Best Buy outlets. The content of the Vernon store has seen some changes. There are expanded departments due to their popularity, including wearable technology, like electronic watches that tether into smart phones,

The staff numbers are slightly higher then when the store was a Future Shop. “The energy and engagement of the staff is at an all time high and that trickles down to our customers’ experience and that is our No. 1 goal as Best Buy,” said Greenwood. The grand opening is Friday and a lucky customer will win a $500 gift card. “It is a great opportunity for the local community and supporting communities to come in and really experience the new Best Buy,” said Greenwood.

BUYING A HOUSE? PROTECT YOURSELF.
© Janice Mucalov, LL.B. and George Mucalov, LL.B. The house you’ve decided to buy looks in good shape. Of course it’s expensive, and you have to pay transfer tax, legal fees and moving costs on top - so should you bother with an inspection, one more cost? Absolutely! Peter and Anne (names changed) were looking for a house for their young family. Peter and his dad looked at one they liked on land not far from Peter’s dad’s home in Chilliwack. An offer for the property was accepted by the owners, the Millers, for $1 million. The offer was subject to the buyer getting and approving an inspection report against - in effect, any costly or significant defects. The buyer’s inspection report identified some deficiencies, but nothing about moisture damage and the inspection condition was removed. Some days afterwards, Peter’s dad heard that mould and rot had been discovered in the framing a few years earlier during an insurance claim investigation. The Millers rebuffed Jeffrey C. attempts for a more extensive examination and said the insurance claim problem had been fixed. They also refused to set aside any money from the sale proceeds to deal with any problems and threatened to pocket the deposit if the sale didn’t go through. So the purchase of the property was completed, with Peter and Anne telling the Millers they’d do a detailed inspection and give the Millers an estimate of the repair costs. The house was discovered to have widespread rot and mould in the outside walls due to ongoing issues with water getting in from two problem areas. The repair costs to replace the cladding and some of the framing came to over $140,000.
Jeffrey C. Boschert For assistance dealing with real estate, subdivision & rezoning, business law, commercial litigation or debtor/creditor law, please contact Jeffrey C. Boschert for information on how we can help you.
The court highlighted that a buyer has to meet a high standard to investigate potential problems with a finished house - if a reasonable inspection by a qualified person would have brought them to light, they are “patent” defects that a seller need not point out to the buyer, who’d be stuck with them. The rule is still very much “buyer beware”. But in this case, the court said the Millers were responsible for the buyer’s $140,000plus repair costs and part of their legal costs. Here, inspections by two qualified inspectors didn’t initially reveal the defects because home inspectors are limited in what they can do - they can’t take invasive measures like drilling test holes or removing foam insulation to look behind. So the defects here were “latent” or hidden. Sellers who know or should reasonably have known of such latent defects have to tell buyers about them. Millers had been told Boschert The after the insurance claim inspection that there was rot and mould in the structural framing due to ongoing problems of water getting in. The estimate to fix them was $50-60,000 or more. But they made only inadequate makeshift repairs. And there were water problems with the structural framing in another part of the house which they also didn’t deal with adequately. In addition, the Millers’ answers in the property disclosure statement about what they knew about water problems were, at best, misleading. They mentioned minor past issues but said nothing about the two major problem areas they knew about. This was deceptive and amounted to “fraudulent misrepresentation”.

Fall landscape changes make water work or drought-resistant lawn in spring. First, cut it very short, soak it well and cover it with wet cardboard. Mulch that with four inches of Ogogrow or well-rotted manure, or wood chips if you plan to put in just shrubs. Keep the area wet so the grass rots underneath over winter. Then, do a test dig in spring to ensure the turf has rotted, before seeding or planting, advises Steele.

With a forecast that the next six months will be the warmest on record, residents of the Okanagan are advised to prepare for at least another year of extremely dry weather by making landscape changes this fall so they can conserve water next season. Fall is a good time to replace water-hungry turf by over-seeding or replacing existing lawn with drought tolerant turf or seed. One such product available in the Okanagan is Eco-Smart Blend, which requires 40 per cent less water than standard lawn grasses, says Barry Paull, who owns Eco-Turf Farms in Kelowna. Lawns are among the heaviest users of water in the landscape, so they’re a good place to begin in trying to conserve. The sod is available until mid-November or freeze-up, says Paull, who explains that they switched from standard turf to this deep-rooted blend about three years ago in response to customer demand for a more WaterWise option. When removing existing turf, replace it with a deep layer of good topsoil before replanting with water-conserving lawn. Roots of Eco-Turf can grow to 15 inches, compared to four to six inches for standard varieties, according to Paull. Okanagan Xeriscape Association executivedirector Gwen Steele suggests if you decide to put in plants instead of turf, begin by replacing just a portion of your existing lawn with drought-tolerant plants. “Fall is a good time to plant because the air is cool, but the soil is still warm, which is ideal for roots to get established before frost. They’ll get started growing again as soon as the soil thaws in spring,” she notes. As well, some perennials can be planted by seed in fall, including blanket-flower or gaillardia; rudbeckias; coreopsis and echinacea. Autumn is also a good time of year to tinker with your plantings. Steele recommends you
With 24 per cent of all Okanagan water used on household lawns and gardens, and less water available per person than anywhere in Canada, valley residents are encouraged to reduce outdoor water use this summer and fall.

Pitchers celebrate 50 years Bill and June Pitcher were married in Ottawa Oct. 9, 1965. They come from an RCMP family, with both their dads having long careers with the force. They met in Regina as teens, where Bill pursued June relentlessly. She escaped for a short time when her family was transferred to RCMP Headquarters Ottawa, but were able to renew the relationship when Bill was posted to Ottawa with the Army Provost Corps. She finally gave in and they were engaged in 1963. They were stationed in Port Alberni until 1970 and both of their sons were born there.

Studies have shown that stroking and touching a dog have helped to lower blood pressure, calm the mentally challenged and refresh the minds of the confused. “Unlike even the best-intentioned humans, therapy dogs are completely accepting of people to whom they are introduced,” said Jo-Ann Johnston, facilitator of the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog program in Vernon. “They don’t evaluate a person’s looks, nor what they might say. They offer unconditional affection that is beneficial for a person’s wellbeing.” Through the program, volunteers and their dogs visit, on a regular basis, seniors at various establishments throughout the North Okanagan. Any dog of sound temperament, is older than two years old, has current rabies and vaccination shots and passes a St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog evaluation can become a therapy dog. An evaluator will test the dog’s reaction to people and other dogs in a variety of simulated conditions that may be found in the facilities that are visited — it is not an obedience test.

Fall pick-up includes bundled prunings ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Bundled pruning is now included in the City of Armstrong’s fall yard and garden waste clean-up. The current city compostable waste pickup program includes pickup of yard and garden waste twice a year in the spring and fall. Spring pickup includes clear bagged compostable yard and garden waste along with bundled pruning material. The fall program includes pickup of clear bagged compostable yard and garden waste only. City council unanimously passed a recommendation from the public works department to include bundled pruning in the fall pickup. “Over the years,
staff has noticed that residents place pruning material into bags to meet the fall pickup criteria, or bundles are placed out hoping they’ll get picked up,” said public works manager Tim Perepolkin in a report to council. “With bundled pickup not offered in the fall, the materials usual-
ly remains until spring pickup the following year.” The fall pickup will be Monday, Nov. 2 and there will be a service level charge to the city’s coffers to include the bundled material. The charge is expected to have little to no impact on the annual budget for the service.

Sustainable future for UBCO Morning Star Staff
More sustainable, liveable, welcoming and connected. That’s the future for the University of B.C.’s Okanagan campus. UBC has updated its Okanagan campus plan following 10 years of rapid growth and development on its 105-hectare main campus lands. “This plan identifies how we can address our future academic and research needs, student housing and associated campus services for the next two decades,” says Deborah Buszard, UBC deputy vice-chancellor and principal of the Okanagan campus. “We’re grateful to the hundreds of people who helped shape this plan by providing input through public meetings, workshops, and a variety other stakeholder consultations.” The Okanagan campus has grown dramatically during its first decade, more than doubling student enrolment and tripling floor space, says Buszard. “The campus plan is not a prescription for growth, but offers a vision for the future of the campus and how its physical environment will evolve,” she notes. “The plan will guide future development and positions UBC to meet and create new opportunities for the Interior.” The updated plan maps the potential for future campus development through to at least 2030. It replaces the
original 2005 campus master plan last revised in 2009. “Building on our Aspire visioning process last year and campus planning consultations over the past two years, the 2015 plan now becomes a framework for engaging with our partners in a planned,
coordinated approach for the future,” said Rob Einarson, associate vice-president, finance and operations. Key elements of the updated plan include increased capacity for academic space to meet the existing and future needs for teaching, a research and
innovation precinct for industry partners, increased capacity to meet the needs of UBC Okanagan’s growing number of research programs, a commitment to First Nation engagement in the planning of buildings and enhanced an public transit exchange.

KIDS IN SCHOOL?
Cara Brady Morning Star Staff
Berklee to busking, harmonica to Hammond B53 organ, Henry Piovesan knows music. With parents who played opera and classical music all the time and five siblings taking lessons on various instruments, he has always had music in his life. As a teacher, performer and recording and production man, he keeps enjoying his own and other people’s music. “I recommend to parents to start children on the piano because it teaches how to read music and basic music theory that all other instruments build on,” he said. “If I could, I would have all students in schools take piano lessons for at least a few years. Then they can decide which other instruments to learn.” He’s disappointed to see live music instruction in schools being cut back, with some high schools not having a dedicated music teacher. “Digital music is important now but with that, live music seems to be disappearing and it’s a shame to see that happen. There’s a kick to live music and we need to have room for both. It’s good when young people can see professional players and understand the time and effort and practising that goes into performing on a real instrument.” He thinks people who want to start music at any age can benefit from some piano instruction. However, he works with his students, ages seven to 92, with what they want to learn, if that’s drums or singing Christmas carols for grandchildren and great-grandchildren. “Not everyone wants to play classical music and there is a lot of good contemporary music so that’s what I teach most of,” said Piovesan, who completed the Royal Conservatory of Music program and graduated from the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston where he studied with world-class teachers and professional musicians. “It was a tough, intense course. There were 140 students starting when I did and only 16 or us graduated four years later,” he said. He went on the road for awhile, travelling around North America with his harmonica to support himself and then taught in Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and at the Centre for Arts and Technology in Kelowna for 12 years where he did film scoring. “I wanted to teach on acoustic instruments,” he said.

Cara Brady/Morning Star
Vernon musician Henry Piovesan in his studio where he teaches, records and produces music. He came to Vernon where he teaches students of all ages a variety of instruments, including his well-received adult courses, with an emphasis on jamming, for Okanagan College. “There are so many adults who used to enjoy — Henry playing when they’re younger and then life gets in the way and that guitar goes under the bed. You can always get it out and enjoy playing again. Or whatever you want to do musically. I had one adult student come to me with little
singing experience and she now sings professionally with her own band. “I always work with students towards their goals. Through years of teaching I’ve learned how to get good results quickly in theory and on an instrument. I use a creative Piovesan visualization method with written notes for reference.” He teaches piano, organ, guitar, bass, flute, saxophone, harmonica and voice, never forgetting what a good teacher means to a student.
“There’s a kick to live music.”
BRAIN FOOD!
PARENTS TOO!
“In high school I was always skipping my other classes and going to the music room. I’d help other students and the teachers would help me. Having good teachers was a big part of wanting to be a teacher myself.” Piovesan does private lessons or puts together groups of similar skill levels for people who want to play with others. He teaches a band management program to help new and established bands with practising, rehearsal, preparing pieces and working together. He has been playing and travelling with bands since he was 15 and now plays with Kath and the Tom Kats and The Legendary Lake Monsters. He played Friday at Dancing with the Vernon Stars. And he still loads up the 500-pound 1955 Hammond B53 which he calls “a joy to play,” and hauls it out to gigs on occasion. Pianojam Recording and Instruction Studio, custom built at his home, is always busy, recording local artists, mixing and mastering live band recordings and recording for singer/songwriters. “Sometimes people want to record a single song as a gift and I can help them do that, or work with them on their song ideas or put poems to music,” he said. “People like to make their own meditation CDs. I have worked on everything from rap tunes to music for film and videos. If people have the idea, I can do the technical work. Right now, I’m working on the music for an online children’s book.” He has some more thoughts about music in life and the rewards of teaching. “I take people from a place where they couldn’t do it to a place where they want to be. When students, particularly adults, are motivated, they can learn quickly even if they have physical or other limitations. Instruction can be personalized. People learn in many different ways. It is important to have a live teacher to help correct mistakes before they are learned and to make sure practice is done properly. “Let kids, and older students, see live music as much as possible and have fun with music. Vernon has really cool things going on musically and some great venues. One interesting thing I have seen in the past few years is people giving the gift of music lessons to family and friends.” Piovesan and his wife, Sharon van Buuren, are proud to be foster parents and like to introduce the children in their care to music.

Dealing with pelvic floor issues Cathy Watson Special to The Morning Star
Many people have them, but few will talk about them. What are these unspoken issues? Problems may include bladder/bowel incontinence, organ prolapse and pelvic pain. Women who have not given birth, as well as men, may experience pelvic floor issues, though they tend to stem from different causes. Women who have given birth, either vaginally or by caesarean, are at most risk. If at eight to 12 weeks a woman is still having incontinence issues, she will likely remain this way when seen one year later if no intervention has happened. This should not happen because this is a problem that can be helped. Why don’t people seek out help? In addition to a new mom being very busy, this is just not an easy subject to talk about. It can be an embarrassing topic to bring up and because very few talk about it, you may think you are the only one. These problems may be just a hiccup in someone’s day or may eventually cause them to leave the house less often. Having to know where all the available bathrooms are, possibly packing incon-

tinence pads in an already too packed purse and having to deal with unexpected accidents, is more common than most people think. Incontinence is a very common problem, but remember, this is not a normal problem to have! The pelvic floor muscles are like other muscles in the body, in that they have a job to do. One of their jobs is to support some of your organs like the bladder, uterus and rectum. If they become too weak or too tight, they will have problems doing their job well and they let you know this by giving you some symptoms such as experiencing a feeling of heaviness, bladder/bowel leakage or pain. The good news is there is conservative help available. A pelvic floor physiotherapist can assess your pelvic floor and help you properly engage your pelvic floor muscles, can help release your tight muscles, go over dietary choices that might be bladder/bowel irritants, and help you make some behavior changes throughout the day to support your bladder and bowel. The most important message is that you do not have to live with this problem and that help is available! Cathy Watson is a physiotherapist in Vernon, with Cathy Watson Physiotherapy.

Quarry‘man’ to honour former bandmate Rod Davis of The Quarrymen brings crosscountry tour to Vernon to commemorate John Lennon’s 75th birthday Morning Star Staff
Before The Beatles became a legendary supergroup whose music is still celebrated by generations of fans, there was The Quarrymen. The name of John Lennon’s first skiffle/rock and roll group, the Quarrymen was formed in 1956 and featured some of Lennon’s school mates. One of those mates was Rod Davis, who grew up with Lennon near Liverpool, and played with him as a small child, even attending Sunday school with the future legend. Currently touring Canada in celebration of what would have been Lennon’s 75th birthday, Oct. 9, Davis will tell some of those stories from the early days at the Best Western Vernon Lodge, Oct. 15. Hosted by the Vernon Folk-Roots Music Society (VFRMS), the show will also feature a PowerPoint presentation with photos of the guys and the places where they grew up and performed. “He will also be playing some of the songs he sang with Lennon so long ago, and will wrap up the evening with a Q&A from the audience,” said Paul Tessier, with the VFRMS. Davis, who grew up in Woolton, a suburb of Liverpool, first met Lennon at St. Peter’s Church, where the boys both attended Sunday school. Later, they found themselves students at Quarry Bank High School with fellow schoolmates Eric Griffiths and Pete Shotten, and started a band called The Quarrymen, named after their school. Davis was asked to play banjo in the band. “Eric and John taught me which chords to play and I soon learnt to busk,” recalled Davis in his bio. Also enlisting drummer Colin Hanton and Len Garry on tea chest bass, The Quarrymen started playing at youth clubs and local dances. A breakthrough came in January, 1957 when Liverpool’s now famous The Cavern club opened its doors for the first time and The Quarrymen were invited to play there.
Thom Wolke PhoTograPhy
Rod Davis, an original member of the band John Lennon founded, The Quarrymen, performs in the next concert hosted by the Vernon Folk-Roots Music Society, Oct. 15 at the Best Western Vernon Lodge. The two most famous gigs of this era, for which photographs still survive, were Rosebery Street in June and St. Peter’s Church fête on July 6, 1957, the fateful day when Lennon met a young upstart named Paul McCartney. “I never actually played with Paul as I drifted out of the Quarrymen in the summer of 1957,” said Davis in his bio. “I stayed on at Quarry Bank (High School) into the sixth form but all the others had left: John Lennon to go to Liverpool College of Art, Pete Shotton to become a police cadet, and Eric Griffiths to become an apprentice.” While McCartney and George Harrison would eventually be recruited to play in The Quarrymen, the band that would eventually become The Beatles, Davis became involved in numerous other musical projects, learning to play mandolin and fiddle. In 1964, he became part of the Bluegrass Ramblers and in the ‘80s, he played with a Tex-Mex band called the Armadillos. In
between, he won a scholarship to Cambridge University to study languages, where he became a member (and eventually president) of the University St. Lawrence FolkSong Society. After Cambridge, Davis taught English in Regensburg, Germany from ‘63 to ‘64 and also taught French and Spanish until 1968, when he became an expedition driver for a company called Minitrek Expeditions, taking trips to Russia, Turkey and across the Sahara desert. In 1997, at the 40th anniversary party of The Cavern, the surviving members of the Quarrymen reunited on stage. They would go on to play dozens of gigs on both sides of the Atlantic and also in Russia and Japan. They produced two CDs, containing skiffle and rock ‘n’ roll played in the same style as in the ‘50s with washboard and tea-chest bass. This was followed by a DVD in 2009. Some surviving members of The
Quarrymen (Davis, Garry, Hanton and pianist John Duff Lowe, who joined the Quarrymen when McCartney did) are still playing the occasional gig, even now in 2015. Having been first a teacher, then a university lecturer, Davis says he is very much at home entertaining an audience with tales of how the music scene developed in the mid-’50s and of growing up in Liverpool and attending the same school as Lennon and playing in his first group. His talk involves members of the audience learning at first hand how a skiffle group functions, and re-creating the early days of The Beatles. Beatles’ fans, music students and many others should be fascinated and amused by this unassuming man and his memories. Tickets for Davis’ performance and talk at the Vernon Best Western Lodge, Oct. 15 at 7:30 p.m., are available at the Ticket Seller (250-549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca), the Bean Scene or at www.vernonfolkroots.com.

The only manager of Lake Country’s theatre leaves after 16 years of service Black Press
Horst Jassmann remembers pretty much every show that has come through Lake Country’s Creekside Theatre. When he started managing the theatre 16 years ago — moving to Lake Country from the Lower Mainland — only about 45 people showed up to the first event. That was Canadian singer-song writer Laurie Thain of The Tommy Hunter Show fame. Then Robert Service brought in 90 folks before noted country singer Gary Fjellgaard packed in 150 people. But that was just a precursor to the next show when Canadian boogie-woogie pianist,

vocalist and composer Michael Kaeshammer came to the Creekside. And the place was sold out. “That was our first sellout and the support has never stopped,” said Jassmann, whose contract to manage the Creekside Theatre will run out at the end of the year. He will be replaced by Lake Country’s new cultural development officer, a position the district is currently hiring. “A lot of the shows we got were sold out or close to sold out,” he said. “We were lucky. In the beginning there wasn’t much going on. In Kelowna the Rotary Centre hadn’t been built and the Vernon Performing Arts hadn’t been built. They came on in 2002 and it kind of knocked the wind out of our sales. But we slowly rebounded.” Now 67 and “of a retireable age,” Jassmann says he has come to terms with the fact the Creekside Theatre will no longer be the top priority in his working life. Jassmann has been the theatre’s only manager in its lifetime. When he was hired, Jassmann had been working in Langley trying to get a theatre

Then he heard of the Creekside Theatre, a quaint 258-seat theatre attached to a school in a place called Lake Country. “I was really impressed when I came up here,” he said. “I had worked at Expo 86 and at the PNE and had written three musicals and I was working in Langley trying to get a theatre built for 10 years. When I saw the (Creekside) Theatre they put with the school and found out there was only 12,000 people in the community, I thought ‘these people have a vision for the future.’ I really thought for the theatre and cultural support, this com-
munity was ahead of other communities.” The Creekside Theatre was built as an extension on George Elliot Secondary in the late 1990s and opened in November of ‘99. There is a shared use agreement between Lake Country and the school district to operate the theatre inside the school. Prior to the opening of the Creekside, community members had put on plays at the Winfield Memorial Hall before a movement began to push for a theatre. When it opened, Jassmann was hired as the first manager. Lake Country’s new cultural development officer will be in

charge of the Creekside Theatre as well as the Lake Country Open Air Performance schedule as well as other culture and heritage community events. It’s a change in the way things have always been done at the Creekside, said Jassman, who was a department of one, adding the theatre and Lake Country will always be in his heart. “What you have in Lake Country is a lot of people who are involved in the arts and very dedicated to it,” he said. “You think of ArtWalk and the people running the art gallery. These things came out of nothing. It takes determination and dedication. Lake Country has a tight and well organized group of theatre attendees. I always said if you can give a person a positive experience in the theatre you will get them back.”

Reel Reviews
A couple of years ago, we reviewed a true story disaster movie called The Impossible with Ewan McGregor. It got to me and I felt the pain they felt. In Everest there wasn’t that feeling and I don’t think it was down to the script or the writing, but down to the actors themselves who didn’t live up to their mountainous screen rival. TAYLOR: I was glad that there wasn’t a bunch of convoluted back story to contend with. I don’t think there was any bad acting in the film, just not a lot to
do, beyond gasp and shiver. As a story, Everest is exciting and visually impressive enough to overcome the shortfalls in character development. If Everest were some other film, say about the same characters but who now were a group of spelunkers who suffered a cave collapse, it would probably fail outright. The mountain creates this movie and saves it in the end. See it on the big screen, ignore that you don’t care about any of these people. See it for the mountain. Everest is the star.
– Taylor gives Everest 4 very generous points out of 5. – Howe gives it 3 points if only for the beauty of the mountain out of 5.

Local art to be sold at airport Thompson Okanagan artists have until Oct. 11 to submit their work for the opportunity to have it sold at the new art kiosk in the departures lounge of the Kelowna International Airport (YLW). “There aren’t very many restrictions, other than price point, subject matter and size,” said Julia Trops, Sukwtemsqilxw West Kelowna Arts Council (SWAC) chair. “Artwork must be no more than $200, original and Okanagan themed, creating a tangible memory for our visitors.” Artists’ works will be selected by a blind jury, with the focus on quality. The cost to submit work is only $30, which includes a membership to SWAC. Selected works will be sold by Skyway, YLW’s concessionaire, and artists will pay a 25 per cent commission. “This is not an art show,” emphasized Trops. “The goal of YLW’s art kiosk is to sell works and generate revenue for our local artists.” For more information or to apply for this program, visit http://bit. ly/swac-ylw.

Drugs for high blood pressure are best taken at regular intervals. It’s good to carry one day’s worth of doses with you in case you forget to take it at home or if you stay away longer than anticipated. •••••••• Speaking of high blood pressure, it’s a good example of how people can feel healthy but they may not be healthy. High blood pressure usually has no symptoms and can do damage to our bodies if it goes unchecked. Have you checked your blood pressure lately? •••••••• Diarrhea is a common side effect of medications. Antibiotics are a common cause, accounting for about 25% of all cases. Our pharmacists will alert you if your new prescription may case diarrhea and suggest ways to counteract it. •••••••• If you are having a heart attack, chewing a regular ASA (Aspirin) 325 mg table can save your life. The tablet shouldn’t be coated and should be full strength. The ASA helps by inhibiting the part of the blood called platelets, which are involved in the clotting of our blood. Don’t forget to call 911! •••••••• Take charge of your own health and your family’s health. Our pharmacists are happy to be part of your healthcare team.

tags this city as “Paris of the East” An enormous equestrian statue memorializes Tsar Peter; nearby, Decembrists’ Square recalls an1825 revolt. Massive red granite columns support St Isaac’s, a Russian Orthodox cathedral designed to accommodate 14,000 standing worshippers. Driving through old neighbourhoods and on into the countryside, we reach World Heritage “Peterhof,” Tsar Peter’s summer palace. Strolling alongside resplendent yellow, white trimmed buildings, we pause at a Russian Orthodox Church topped with golden domes. Tsar Peter designed Peterhof ’s first thirty rooms in 1714. Daughter Elizabeth and grandson’s wife Catherine the Great expanded his efforts. Inside, the Tsar’s bedchamber and oak-paneled office seem surprisingly austere compared to nearby chambers. The ballroom’s gilt carvings border tiers of towering windows. Between, 16 circular paintings feature Ovid’s Metamorphoses and Virgil’s Aeneid. And painted among ceiling clouds, daughter Elizabeth ‘floats.’ Tanya smiles, “As you see, they loved the embellished Western European style…and today, Peterhof is often compared to Versailles.” From the front terrace, we gaze over the Grand Cascade. This magnificent creation incorporates sixty-four fountains, two hundred gilded statues, bas-reliefs and other ornamentation. Amid its central pond, Rastrelli’s golden Samson wrestles a lion. A stroll along the lower gardens’ Marine Canal takes us to a pier on the Baltic. Aboard a hydrofoil, we’re back in the city within 30 minutes. Swimmers bask along the beach where Tsar Peter first established his defense fortress against the Swedes. Gold-spires soaring, Peter and Paul Cathedral entomb Russian royalty from Peter the Great to Alexander III. Disembarking along the Palace Embankment, we behold Catherine’s fabled Winter Palace. Visiting “Resurrection of Christ” Church concludes this day. Onion domes sparkle with blue, yellow and green glazed decorative tiles, two in gold. Inside, 7,500 square meters of glorious mosaics drench walls and ceilings with brilliant, almost overpowering colour.

KENT TOURISM ALLIANCE/VISITBRITAIN
A couple enjoys a day at Leeds Castle, relaxing in the grounds surrounding the 12th century fortified manor house on the River Len in the heart of Kent, Britain.
Continued from B11 Breathtaking motifs frame radiant biblical scenes and figures. Shimmering in gold, silver and coloured enamels, Holy Gates enclose the main altar. “Assassinated here in 1881, Alexander II’s son established this memorial on the very spot of his murder; it became fondly known as ‘Church of Our Saviour of Spilled Blood’,” Tanya relates. “Following our revolution, the church was ransacked and became a warehouse. Russian artisans took over 27 years to restore it to former glory. Using early pictures and lithographs, even the stolen Holy Gates were accurately re-created.” Wondrous artworks fill our second day. “One of the world’s oldest museums, The Hermitage houses three million pieces of art in the Winter Palace and four other buildings,” says guide Eva. “We’ll just sample some of the most notable.” A marble spectacle in itself, the 18th-century Jordan Staircase leads upward to a lavish second floor ballroom. Following her husband’s death, Catherine the Great met eligible bachelors in the smaller Pavilion Hall. There, the bedazzling Peacock Clock, a magnificent gift from one such suitor, still works. Over a hundred grand halls and rooms exhibit 13th to 20th century European art. Among many marble sculptures, we spot Voltaire, eyes a-twinkle. Catherine, we learn, commissioned Houdon to create this likeness of the French philosopher, her beloved friend and correspondent. Another gallery encloses Tsar Peter’s original Rembrandts, collected while studying shipbuilding in Holland. Adjoining rooms contain Catherine’s extensive masterpiece collections by da Vinci, Raphael and Goya. A docent welcomes us into the Golden Room, a vaulted gallery. Pointing out exhibits of nomadic Scythian treasures, she recounts, “Uncovered during excavations and sometimes grave robbers, tsars would purchase these fine gold artifacts.” We marvel at the delicate workmanship of each exquisitely crafted piece. Indeed, St. Petersburg’s dazzling monuments are a splendid legacy of imperial Russia in its heyday. Chris Millikan is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder YOU MUST PAINT A FALSE PICTURE Niels Bohr said, “The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.” Yesterday’s column featured a play by declarer to give an opponent a chance to err and cede a contract that seemed destined to fail. Today’s deal is in the same realm, but features a different tactic. What should happen in six spades after West leads the heart queen? East opened with a weak two-bid that would not please the purists - but bridge purists are on the World Wildlife Fund’s list of critically endangered species. (East’s suit was
weak, and he had two aces.) In the long run, it pays to pre-empt whenever you can. In particular, enjoy watching your opponents squirm in their seats. Here, though, South, who thought he had 12 sure tricks, jumped straight to six spades. After the dummy comes down, South should realize that West has led a singleton. East showed a six-card suit in the bidding, there are four in the dummy, and declarer has two. There’s only one left. However, East does not know that. West might have led from the queen-jackdoubleton. East will know, though, if, at trick one, South plays his heart jack or thinks about it. Declarer must be ready,
in tempo playing his king under East’s ace. Then East might think he has a guess. Should he try to cash the diamond ace? East ought to deduce that if South had two fast losers, he would have used Blackwood. So, East should return a heart. But he might get it wrong.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Remember your past dreams and aspirations. Consider whether a change in strategy is needed to get you back on course or if you should pursue a different direction entirely. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Rigidity will not work in your favour. The more accepting you are, the more opportunities you will encounter. Let things unfold naturally in order to make progress. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) If you take a close look at the people who inspire you, you’ll see that perseverance and determination are what will drive you to success. There is money to be made.

Ann Geraldine Witala
Russell Leo Headington
1927 - 2015
November 13, 1948-September 29, 2015
With broken hearts and sadness we announce the passing of our beloved father, husband, son, Poppa, brother and friend, Russ Headington, at the age of 66 years. Russ was a man robbed of his dignity, soul and mind by a cruel and crippling disease called Alzheimer’s. No one can understand the magnitude of Alzheimer’s disease unless he or she has been close to it. We have peace knowing that his suffering is over and that we shared so many wonderful memories together as a family. Russell will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 41 years, Terry; his daughters Lindsay (Cale), Jill (Brad), Ashley (Jeremy) and Vanessa (Cody). Russ was a proud Poppa to Brooklyn, Hailee, Sydney, Riley, Tylen, Easton, Brady and Marshall. He will be missed by his father Leo, sisters Judy and Charlotte and numerous nieces and nephews as well as many lifelong friends. Russell is predeceased by his mother Gaye and his sister Chrissy. Rusty was born in Vernon, British Columbia on November 13, 1948 and spent his entire life on the farm in Lumby. Russ worked hard his entire life. In addition to his full time job farming, he drove school bus, was a volunteer firefighter, and worked many years in the lumber industry including Riverside, Weyerhaeuser and Paragon Wood Products. An athlete all his life, Russ played basketball, hockey, softball and curled. He formed many close bonds and long lasting friendships with his “buds” during this time. Russ was a kind, gentle and easygoing man who was loved by everyone who knew him. We will miss his sparkling blue eyes and his smile that could always fill up a room. The family would like to thank the nurses and staff at Polson Special for their tender and loving care of Russ. A celebration of life will be held at the Whitevalley Community Hall in Lumby on October 9th from 2:004:00pm.

Gail Vigrass
passed away on Wednesday, September 30th. She had a peaceful passing at home surrounded by her family. Gail is survived by her husband John, her four daughters Lori (Gary), Michelle (Kerry), Kristina and Erin (Kyle) as well as her grandsons Scott, Daniel and Michael, her sister-in-law Sharon (Roy) and her nephew Eric (Leah). Gail was a devoted wife, a loving mother and loyal friend. She was active with the Jehovah’s Witness’ and was very strong in her faith. She was a beautiful, kind, generous and gentle woman who will be missed by everyone who had the opportunity to share her life. Gail passed away from Cancer, and for many years before diagnosis she participated in Cancer fundraising, therefore we are asking that in lieu of flowers, people go to http://www. cancer.ca/ and under the donation section, “Make a Memorial Gift”.

JORDAN, Dr. Laurance Theodore (Ted) Finding a Vernon family untouched by Dr. Jordan is difficult. As the city’s first ObGyn, Ted had his finger on the pulse of the community for over fifty years of active practice. Laurance Theodore Jordan was born on March 10, 1928 and reared in China by missionary parents. He and his three siblings enjoyed an idyllic childhood until the outbreak of WWII when they were interned at Lungwha Shanghai prison camp. At war’s end, the Jordan family was rescued by a Red Cross ship and set down on North American soil. Ted began pre-Med at UBC and graduated MDCM from McGill in 1952. After Montreal, he interned at Vancouver General Hospital, completing his surgical residency at Baptist Memorial Hospital, San Antonio Texas in 1957. Torn between pathology and obstetrics, Ted settled on the latter, finishing his ObGyn specialist training at the Mayo Clinic in 1960. Now married with two sons and living in Vernon, he carried a full general practice, acted as department head, as Chief of Surgery and was on-call all day/every day. The Beatles debuted on Ed Sullivan during a house call. Man touched down on the moon; Ted watched while delivering a baby boy in the OR. Medicine was his life. Ted presented a cheerful disposition, an unfailing sense-of-humour and the highest principles of humility, humanity, and kindness. Conferred as an Honorary Member of the BC College of Physicians and Surgeons, he embodied compassion and dignity. Charitable contributions to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation, 2101 - 32nd Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 9Z9 will benefit women’s diagnostic equipment in Dr. Jordan’s honour. Ted is survived by his loving wife Dianne; sons Jamie (Kalaya) and Pip (exceptional friend Ramona) of Vernon; his brother Peter (Donna) of Medicine Hat; six grandchildren: Jessica (Jamie) Hultgren of Vernon, Stesha of Gilbert, Arizona, Kaho of Vernon, Jadewyne of Kelowna, Lindsay (Josh Wilson) of Kelowna, and Sydney (Jessie Venhuizen of Abbotsford. A Service of Remembrance will be held at Trinity United Church on Alexis Park Drive on Wednesday, October 7, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. Arrangements have been entrusted to Pleasant Valley Funeral Home, Phone: 250 542 4333.
