Fire debate draws in politicians RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A veteran politician says allegations levelled against the Vernon Fire Department can’t be ignored. Members of the Okanagan Landing Fire Department claim they were sidelined during the Aug. 14 grass fire at The Rise because a request for help from the Vernon hall was delayed. “Someone has to respond to this,� said Coun. Patrick Nicol. Nicol questions why Landing volunteers weren’t immediately paged to the fire in their traditional coverage area. “They know that area six ways to Sunday.� Coun. Juliette Cunningham defends the actions of the Vernon department, which responded to the fire first. “Our chief does not know the level of training each volunteer at the Landing hall has,� she said. “From what I witnessed, I know residents of The Rise believe the whole situation was handled well.� A majority of the Landing’s 28 volunteer members say they will resign Jan. 31 instead of
“They know that area six ways to Sunday.� — Patrick Nicol joining a single command structure with the Vernon hall. City council recently decided not to renew a service contract with the Landing firefighters association. “My sense is they want to be respected for capable and dedicated service,� said Nicol, who was one of three councillors to oppose scrapping the contract. “Sometimes when you back people into a corner, they stand on principle and I respect people who stand on principle.� City officials stand by the new model and say public safety is paramount. “The Rise grass fire, and the subsequent fire one week later near the Greater Vernon landfill, are both excellent examples of multi-agency response to major incidents,� said Keith Green,

Vernon fire chief. “Mobilizing resources quickly and effectively, responding under a single incident command structure, mitigating loss, and ensuring public and firefighter safety are the priorities for delivery of the fire service.� Cunningham defends voting for the new command model. “I have to make decisions based on practical issues. Moving forward with one chief makes sense,� she said. “There will be an opportunity for consistent training throughout the service, which includes the Landing.� Cunningham denies the model will lead to paid firefighters being stationed in the Landing. “This council today is committed to volunteers.� Cunningham hopes Landing volunteers will reconsider their resignations, but if they do leave, she isn’t concerned about a lack of resources. “If we have to recruit new volunteers, we will do that. We also have volunteers with the main hall,� she said. A contingency plan based on numerous resignations will be presented to council Sept. 10.
An organization dedicated to the developmentally disabled has new leadership. Benita Elliott takes over from Henry Sundquist as executive director of the Kindale Developmental Association. “With her passion for service quality, her concern for the individuals and families we serve, and her dedication to the staff, contractors, and Benita Elliott volunteers, I can think of no one better suited to lead this wonderful organization,� said Sue Phillips, association president. Sundquist held the position for 28 years and Elliott takes up her new duties Jan. 7. Elliott joined Kindale in 1995 and she is currently controller. “It is an honour to be following in the footsteps of Henry who has done a remarkable job of leading Kindale from a small group teetering on the brink of insolvency to the strong, committed organization we are today,� said Elliott. “I look forward to working with him during these next few months of transition.�

A proposed development along Westside Road has experienced a road block. On Monday, 56 per cent of the 239 Okanagan Indian Band members who voted in a referendum opposed 99-year leases for a 70-unit project near Irish Creek Road. Forty-three per cent cast ballots in support. “Some people don’t like development on the land base and alienating limited reserve land,” said Chief Byron Louis. The commercial development is proposed for land held by an individual band member. But under federal regulations, a extension from the customary 49-year lease to 99 years must go before the membership of the First Nation for
ratification. Louis understands why developers want to provide customers with as long a lease as possible. “When you move from 49 to 99-year leases, it creates security and increases value in the land,” he said. However, he insists the wishes of the band membership must be considered. “Before development happens, people must determine what the benefit is for the community,” he said. “That will be the determining factor for future development.” Despite the referendum results, Louis says the proposed 70-unit project could still proceed. “It would have to be based on a 49-year lease,” he said.

pursue the matter further at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in September. Coun. Jo Anne Fisher says she supports the cautious approach. “I have my own personal views but that’s nothing to do with council making a decision. It’s a big issue,” she said. The government recently selected four proponents for the proposed privatization of warehouses and distribution services. “The B.C. government is currently exploring what might be possible and will only move forward if a better service delivery model can be provided by the private sector,” states a government release. “Any new system would have to demonstrate itself to be more effective and efficient, and provide lower overall costs to government.” The BCGEU, though, claims privatization will negatively impact communities and the province’s finances. “In the last five years, the Liquor Distribution Branch we all own contributed a net income of $4.3 billion to help pay for public services such as health, education and highways,” said Darryl Walker, BCGEU president, in a letter to Lumby council. “The LDB system should not be fractured. The central distribution system and the stores must stay together in one system. It’s what makes it work.”

Care home slated to lose licence
% # "$ & $
$ !% ! "'$ $ !
JOE FRIES Black Press
Residents of a long-term care facility in Vernon may have to find new homes due to worries about the operator’s financial health. Brewster Healthcare Group received notice in May that its licence to operate facilities in Vernon and Penticton would not be renewed in May 2013. “We have concerns about the ongoing viability of the company,� said Roger Parsonage, regional director of health protection for the Interior Health Authority. “We attempted over a fairly long period of time to gather some information that would allow us to evaluate their situation, and unfortunately we weren’t able to resolve it.� The company operates the 16-bed Westridge Care Residence in Vernon. During annual inspections in June and March, respectively, the home had 14 clients. “We don’t have concerns about the level of care (the company is) providing, although we continue to monitor that closely and should that change then we’ll need to re-evaluate,� said Parsonage. In addition to the notice of termination, interim conditions were placed on Brewster Healthcare Group’s licence that ban it from accepting new clients, and require it to notify residents about the licensing situation and prepare relocation plans for them. The situation is “extremely unusual,� Parsonage said. However, doubts about Brewster Healthcare Group’s ability to provide ongoing care to “some of our most vulnerable people in our community� prompted the authority to act. Parsonage said the company was given the one-year notice to allow for orderly relocation of patients. That one-year delay proves the company is not on the brink of folding, said owner John Brewster. Brewster said his company is not in financial distress and that the dispute arose from Interior Health’s demand for financial information about his unrelated business interests. “For them to come in and start asking for all kinds of information about something that does not pertain to the two locations, I find is beyond what they’re allowed,� said Brewster. One of his other business interests is Pacific Care Communities, which he said owns four long-term care facilities in Summerland, Kelowna and Grand Forks that are leased out to different operators. He said, though, that the two companies are not
linked. Banning the Brewster Healthcare Group from accepting new residents while hastening the departures of others is only making the financial situation worse, he added, although he remains “absolutely committed� to those still in care. Brewster said he has a deal in place to sell the two facilities effective Oct. 1, contingent upon the new owner being able to obtain a license from Interior Health. He said he didn’t have permission to release the prospective buyer’s name. If the sale doesn’t go through, Brewster said, he will convert the residences to assisted-living facilities with different clients who have different care requirements, and that will result in staff lay-offs. David Hurford, spokesperson for the B.C. Care Providers Association, said neither of Brewster’s companies is a member, but that the market for long-term care beds is “volatile.� According to Hurford, a “fairly significant increase� in the number of publicly-funded beds, such as the 66 currently under construction at Haven Hill Retirement Centre in Penticton, is good for seniors but could have an impact on private operators. He noted the association is willing to help Brewster Healthcare Group clients who are seeking new accommodations. Interior Health is also help-
ing them explore their options. “Anecdotally, I’ve heard that some have made a move already; some are choosing to wait,� Parsonage said. He confirmed there is sufficient capacity at other care homes in Vernon to absorb new patients from both facilities.

Flavourful fair on tap ANDRE LODDER Morning Star Staff
The Okanagan Valley is a-buzz, as the upcoming Interior Provincial Exhibition is set to hit Armstrong this week. The honey division wants people to “Catch the Buzz” at the 113th IPE Wednesday to Sunday. With more than 220 vendors returning, as well as the 4-H demonstrations, West Coast Amusements, Kids World and various entertainment acts, there will be plenty of favourite activities for the thousands who will attend. “Everyone’s got their favourites, that’s a huge part of us and organizing it,” said Bryan Burns, general manager of the IPE. As the fair gets closer, the people of Armstrong are ready for the gates to open. But they aren’t the only ones getting excited for the IPE. On a recent trip to Kelowna, Burns witnessed some of the excitement during a conversation in an elevator. “The majority of the crowd comes from the North Okanagan and South Okanagan. It’s really the valley’s fair, it’s such a big event that attracts people from all over,” said Burns. So far the weather forecast is calling for mostly sun and cloud for the duration of the fair, so all the IPE team can do is hope that the weather holds out for the entire duration. “My first couple years I had an issue with weather, but now it is what it is. It doesn’t really affect us too much, people might change the days they come on but they still want to come,” said Burns. Coming up this year is non-stop fun for the whole family. Activities ranging from amusement rides, live concerts and entertainment, barn tours, baby animals, and even the birth of a baby calf is a possibility. With the rodeo taking place in the evening, be sure to check out some of the other highlights in the main ring throughout the day. Or you could check out the 4-H shows and the many livestock that will be on display each and every day. “Our barns will be full, from the chickens to the cows, and from the alpacas to the goat milking,” said Burns.

“It’s really the valley’s fair.” — Bryan Burns While Agriculture is the main focus for the IPE, Burns knows the importance of adding new flare each year. “We want to keep with our traditional roots of agriculture and make sure we have that aspect, that’s why we’re an agriculture fair. But we’re always trying to find new things to add and make it special,” said Burns. Back for another year is the Iron Chef competition, which has become a major hit in recent years. The competition will be running twice a day, with the finals going on Sunday. Some of the new acts and attractions include Xtreme Wild, Charlotte Diamond, Neale Bacon, and Chainsaw Carvers who will be joining the logging show. “They’re really cool, and they’ll be making things right on site,” said Burns. Back for a second year are the Trial Stars bike demos who got a bit of a boost after last year, going from two shows per day to three at this year’s IPE. As a community event, the IPE likes to support local causes, and according to IPE President, Jeanne Noble Harter, while discussing a worthy cause, Huntingtons disease struck a cord with staff. “We know so many people in Armstrong who have been affected by it so it really hit home for us,” said Harter. With only a few days before the fair opens anticipation for the fair is growing, both among IPE staff and the patrons that will take to the fair starting Wednesday. “I think that the closer we get, the more excited people are,” said Harter. The fair gates open Wednesday morning, with the opening ceremonies happening at the main gate at 4:30 p.m. For more on the fair, accommodations or ticket information visit www.armstrongipe.com.

Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy Many changes occur to a woman’s body throughout pregnancy that can alter pelvic and low back function: • Protruding abdomen: the center of gravity shifts forward and the low back is hyper-extended • Altered walking pattern: at end of pregnancy this can become a “waddling” motion • Hormonal changes: loosen the pelvis so the baby’s head can pass, but also loosens all ligaments in the body These changes can increase stress on the spinal and pelvic muscles, increase joint stress, create spinal misalignment, and place pressure on delicate nerves. This often results in low back and pelvic pain, possibly radiating into the buttocks and down the legs. Chiropractic adjustments can help re-establish pelvic balance and spinal alignment, taking pressure off the low back and allowing both the mother and baby to move more freely. Relieving pressure from the nerve roots helps normalize nerve function—allowing the muscles and ligaments of the low back, pelvis, and uterus to relax and providing optimal health for both mother and baby. All chiropractors have been trained to safely work with pregnant women. Non-forceful treatments are utilized to avoid any unnecessary stress or pressure on the woman’s abdomen. As most pregnant women try to avoid using pain medication during their pregnancy, chiropractic is an excellent alternative treatment for expecting mothers. Finally, as a woman’s body begins to normalize following birth, the spine and pelvis do not always want to re-align properly as the ligaments tighten back up. Chiropractic care during this period can help guide the pelvis and spine into an optimal position, preventing pelvic unlevelling and misalignments which may lead to stress and pain in the future.

Autumn on the horizon
A
s August begins to fade into the Okanagan sunset (heavy sigh) and we begin to talk about the summer of ‘12 in the past tense, and complain about how short it was or how fast it went, it’s worth noting that there are actual reasons why it might be a good thing too. Of course everyone loves summer, especially around here, but all good things must come to an end sometime, so let’s dwell on a few reasons why it’s not all bad. Or as I like to call it, the top ten signs that the end of summer and a return to routine in September might be a good thing. 10. When the weatherman says the high today will be only 25 Celsius and you’re more than OK with Glenn Mitchell that fact. 9. When you go to barbecue hamburgers and/or smokies and it’s hard to get excited about having what should be one of your favourite summertime meals. Maybe a little too much of a good thing isn’t so good. 8. When you have plans to go away for the weekend but they fall through and it’s OK because that would be your fifth weekend away from home in a row. 7. When one of your kids comes home at 2:30 a.m. on a Sunday night, with buddy in tow, and accidently wakes you up and you can’t get back to sleep for what seems like hours and then the phone rings at 7:03 a.m. and it’s for that same kid who is being called into work and you gladly go wake him up with the good news and don’t feel sorry for him one bit. Except of course that you have to get up too and go to work. 6. Or the other kid who phones you at work on Thursday and tells you that yes he has finally made an appointment with a counsellor at school, like you have been telling him to do all week, and informs you that it’s on Tuesday at 10:50 a.m. and after you suggest that he can
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
ride his bike he actually complains that it’s too early in the day to be able to do that. 5. The end of the forest fire season before it gets out of hand, hopefully (and a shout out to everyone involved with putting out that fire near The Rise during my holidays, which was near where I live, and helped me appreciate what being on the front lines is all about and how we too often take them for granted – bravo). 4. The end of telling my kids not to stay up too late when I go to bed even though I know they won’t and leaving for work in the morning wondering when they will actually get up and if it will still be a.m. when that happens. 3. With the Olympics over there is absolutely nothing worth watching on TV and maybe, just maybe, the fall will bring something better, although if you’re a hockey fan it’s hard to be optimistic. 2. September is actually a better month than August for sports like golf, tennis and anything that requires the least bit of effort because it ain’t so damn hot. 1. Let’s face it, I’m not exactly bronze god material so me and my farmer tan are more than ready for the end of summer. Of course this list would be incomplete if it didn’t have the fact that soon I get to watch the kids get up in the morning and go back to school. But that’s such a no-brainer for any parent that it kind of goes without saying. We love them, of course, but like hamburgers and smokies too much of a good thing can start to weigh on you a bit. I think it was just last week I lost it when the youngest one was going to the show and proclaimed “oh, yeah, I need a ride there, some money, and a ride home.” The deafening silence on the other end of the phone prompted him to quickly say “please,” but it was too late. So now he knows I’m ready for the end of summer. So much so, that he might be too.
Everyone involved in extinguishing the Aug. 14 wild fire at The Rise should be proud of themselves. Through team work, the stubborn blaze was brought under control and no private property was lost. It could have been a far more extreme outcome given the tinder-dry conditions and the wind wafting off Okanagan Lake. The co-operation and professionalism among the firefighters — from three departments and the B.C. Forest Service — is exactly what residents have come to expect during an emergency. That’s why a behind-thescenes dispute is disconcerting. The Okanagan Landing Fire Department claims its members were left sitting at the hall while The Rise fire grew because they had not received an immediate request for help from Vernon. One could suggest these allegations are an attempt to gain public sympathy after the Landing firefighters lost their contract with the city to provide services. However, the allegations are serious and need to be addressed by the City of Vernon. The Rise is within the Landing’s traditional coverage area so why weren’t those firefighters dispatched immediately? And the results of any review need to be made public to ensure transparency and openness. The bottom line, though, is that while politics flare in the background, Vernon residents should have complete confidence in the service they are receiving. Firefighters — whether volunteer or career — are here to serve and when facing smoke and flames, they have a common goal.

Pipeline could impact environment
I
t seems that David Black, owner of The Morning Star, and Premier Christy Clark have missed the point when it comes to the Northern Gateway pipeline. They both seem to think that as long as there is enough money involved, the people who are wary of the pipeline will be silenced. This pipeline is not about dollars and cents. It is about potential environmental damage that could be caused by a break in the pipeline between Alberta and Kitimat. If a refinery is to be built, build it in Alberta or maybe Dawson Creek. Then ship the refined oil via current pipelines. We have seen the damage caused in the pipeline in Kalamazoo Michigan. The crude oil that is proposed to be sent across B.C. has to be mixed with natural gas so it will flow. If there is a break in the line, the natural gas will go into the atmosphere but the heavy crude will go on to the land or into the waterways. How soon the break is detected will determine the amount of damage to the environment. Our province does not need this potential damage at any price. Let them send this crude back east to the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence. Then listen to the hue and cry from the people. Ken Jack
PROCESS WRONG It is not difficult to understand that the leadership of the Vernon Fire Department has issues with the independence of the Okanagan Landing volunteer firefighters. Nonetheless, to couch their concerns in such a way as to suggest that the Landing volunteers are less competent, less well-trained and less public safety conscious than their Vernon counterparts is an undeserved low blow. I am particularly disappointed that Mayor Sawatzky and Councillor Cunningham did not insist that the Landing volunteers have an opportunity to state their version of events prior to making a decision. I had thought they both were staunch proponents of fair and open decision-making but I was wrong. They made a unilateral decision in secret without giving a fair opportunity to the Landing volunteers to refute the Vernon allegations. Pity. It was perfectly legal, of course, but ethically perverse. Even career criminals have a right to a fair trial in open court. The contention
that money will be saved by the hostile take-over needs to be scrutinized while keeping a firm hand upon your taxpayers' wallet. One has to be quite naïve to think that full-time, paid at Vancouver rates, Vernon firefighters will not be deemed necessary within the not-so-distant future at the soon-to-be Landing station #2. In fact, that is precisely what was proposed in the abortive takeover attempt made a few years ago. Yes, Vernon has the legal right to terminate unilaterally a contract of service. But I for one, am ashamed at the shabby way Vernon’s Mayor Sawatzky and Councillors Cunningham, Lord and Quiring have gone about it. Kudos to Councillors Nicol, O’Keefe and Spiers for voting no. Perhaps the right decision was made but it was not right to do so without giving the Landing volunteers a fair hearing before making the decision. Shame. Jim Bodkin COLDSTREAM SUITES It must be nice to have all of the money you need and
not have to look for some extra mortgage help. While some residents might not like suites, many residents of Coldstream have suites and many more want them. Many residents live near Okanagan College and there is very little accommodation in this area. Should we not support people being able to walk to school? Let's face it, we have a need for rental accommodation in Coldstream. The current situation, where Coldstream expects one inspector to look after all of the building inspections and then have to waste his time answering suite complaints, must be very frustrating for the district. It seems that you can have a suite in Coldstream if your neighbour does not complain. What about situations like having elderly parents come and live with you? How about those adult children who cannot afford to even rent anywhere in Vernon or Coldstream? Why does Coldstream not create a process where residents can apply for legal suites? Or better yet, do what Kelowna did and make all
suites legal and stop wasting valuable resources chasing something that is almost impossible to enforce. Kelowna is in the process of making all secondary suites legal as they realize that affordability of homes and low income housing is a serious issue in the Okanagan. It is easy for a person who brings home a six-figure salary to complain about a few extra vehicles in his neighbourhood. What about all of the students and hard working families trying to survive in one of the most expensive places in Canada to live? The population of Vernon has increased while school enrolment has been plummeting. That tells me that rich retired people are moving here while young families are moving out. If the tenants are parking on the owner's property, then there should be no issue. The point of extra traffic on Point Sage is a joke because it is dead-end street and the extra traffic generated by two or three cars per day is negligible. I don't have an illegal
suite. I have had my inspection thanks. But I would encourage residents of Coldstream to send anonymous letters to the district in support of legalizing suites (so you don't have to endure your inspection). We should not let a minority of complainers dictate what the majority wants. With all of the trouble in today's world, one must have a lot of time on one's hands to complain about a car going by their house twice a day. Terry Downton REMEMBERING JACK I never met Jack Layton, but wish I had. I didn’t always agree with him, but I knew he was sincere. Jack personified decency and compassion. Many of us have grown jaded by politics but Jack was an inspiration. His devotion to making Canada a better place for everyone will be his lasting legacy. We miss your enthusiasm Jack, and your smile. Thanks for caring so much. Lloyd Atkins

Lumby backs second bus RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Lumby is on board with transit.

YOU AND THE LAW NEGLIGENT PROPERTY VALUATION COSTS REALTOR By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. When you decide to sell your home, your real estate agent will typically offer a complimentary valuation of your property and recommend a listing price within a range. But what happens if they undervalue your home – and you sell for less than fair market value? Is your realtor liable? Realtors owe a duty of care in valuing and listing a property for sale. The standard of care is that of a reasonably skilled real estate agent dealing with houses in your area. It’s higher than the standard expected of the average, informed, reasonable person. But it’s below the standard for a professional real estate appraiser – a realtor’s main job is to sell real estate, whereas a qualified appraiser has specialized expertise in assessing market values. In one case, the BC Supreme Court decided the realtor was negligent. Mr. M valued and listed for sale six 10acre properties in Williams Lake at $35,000 each for two Vancouver sisters (prices were much lower then). The listings attracted attention, as most 10acre parcels in the area were Nick selling for around $40,000. Another realtor even called Mr. M’s office and suggested the property was listed well below market value. One of the six lots quickly sold for full list price. Concerned the price was too low, the sisters asked Mr. M to hold off on the remaining listings until they could get a full appraisal. Six weeks later, the buyer of the one sold lot flipped it for $65,000 to a German national buying up all the land surrounding the lake (who also later bought two other lots from the sisters for $45,000 each). The sisters sued, winning $10,000 for the undervalued flipped lot. The court said the realtor “had a duty to the plaintiffs

to provide a proper valuation and to give the guidance they asked for and needed in order to list the lots for sale. He was in breach of that duty.” If he had done a proper valuation, he would have learned about the German land owner. However, in a later 2008 case, the BC Supreme Court concluded that another realtor, Mr. B, wasn’t negligent. Mr. B had told the owners of undeveloped Maple Ridge land he thought they could get around $800,000 for their nine acres. They rejected an offer for that amount, but accepted a subsequent $1 million offer he presented. Later, they felt they had undersold their property. In this case, there was little evidence as to what more the realtor ought reasonably to have known before bringing the two offers to the sellers, who didn’t rely on him as to valuation. He had looked at all recent listings in the area and found at least two comparable (though smaller) properties and taken other steps. The problem was were few other sales or Vlahos there listings of properties as large as the sellers’ property. It was therefore more uncertain as to what the land’s value was. The court ultimately preferred the expert property appraisal obtained by the realtor in defence of the lawsuit, which valued the property at $980,000 (not the $1.4 million figure that the sellers’ expert said the property was worth). Your house is a significant investment. Before settling on a listing price, get opinions from several sources and question your realtor on their valuation. Also consider paying to have a professional appraisal done. And if the sale results in a dispute that you can’t resolve, consult your lawyer.

North Okanagan members have supported one bus to UBC for years. But when a second bus began in 2010, Vernon picked up the additional $120,000 a year because other communities had concerns about costs and use among their residents. However, RDNO jurisdictions decided in February to financially support the second bus based on ridership. “If there’s half-a-dozen riders from here, that’s what it will cost for Lumby,” said Acton. Based on ridership, the village will pick up about 0.3 per cent of the service budget.
Some key changes to Vernon’s transit system are moving ahead. Hybrid routing on the #7 Okanagan Landing is gone Sept. 2 and Sunday routing is changing too. “The route #7 Okanagan Landing had two variations on its daily schedule,” said Meribeth Burton, with B.C. Transit. “Now route #7 will be split.
The new route #7 Okanagan Landing will always include the Heritage/Tronson Road Loop. The new route #8 Bella Vista will travel from the main transit terminus to Bella Vista Road and return along Okanagan Landing Road.” Sunday service on routes #1 through #8 will now reflect the routing that is already offered Monday through Saturday.
“The changes will see an additional 540 service hours a year,” said Burton. “Vernon is one of B.C. Transit’s most successful systems with 440,000 trips in 2011/12. That’s an 8.7 per cent increase over last year.” For more information on schedules and routes, go to www. bctransit.com/regions/ver/ or call 250-545-7221.
Land use focus of district group Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan residents could play a critical role in the future of agriculture. The Regional District of North Okanagan is seeking up to 11 residents and agricultural producers to volunteer as members of the new agricultural advisory committee for a two-year term. “The AAC is a volunteer committee that is being established to assist the board of directors in protecting, enhancing and promoting agriculture,” said Anthony Kittel, regional growth strategy co-ordinator. The AAC will meet approximately once a month. Application forms and the AAC terms of reference are available at the RDNO office and at www.rdno.ca. Completed application forms must be submitted by 4:30 p.m. Sept. 28.

Lake Country cuts red tape for developers Morning Star Staff

The district has streamlined the application process and approval timelines for new development permits. “Every municipality hears complaints from property owners and developers about the complicated and lengthy process involved in getting a development permit,” said Alberto De Feo, chief administrative officer.
“This allows the technical experts to work with the applicant.” — Alberto De Feo “Processes and procedures are reviewed with the intent of cutting red tape and make things easier for the taxpayers, residents, businesses and potential investors.” On Tuesday, council amended a bylaw so technical development permits not requiring
variances can be issued by the director of planning and development or the CAO instead of them being issued by council. “This allows the technical experts in planning and development to work with the applicant to move forward on straight-
forward development applications without the lengthy process of going back and forth to council meetings,” said De Feo. Mayor James Baker says it’s important for the district to respond to the needs of the community and to make it

There will be plenty for the kids to do at the Interior Provincial Exhibition in Armstrong. Valley First Credit Union is sponsoring the Kid’s Klub at the fair between Wednesday and Sunday. “The IPE has an enormous reputation,” said Ken Britton, Valley First’s Armstrong branch manager. “It’s such a tremendous family outing and a traditional event for many. During the Kid’s Club, children have an opportunity for handson experiences and learning the value of the agricultural industry. Kid’s Klub mem-
bers can also take part in activities such as the zucchini derby or watermelon eating contest. Or, if they want to be even more hands-on, they can learn how to milk a goat. “The development of the Valley First Kid’s Klub is just one example of how we are keeping our program fresh and appealing,” said Bryan Burns, IPE manager. “By creating a memorable experience today, we can keep families coming back year after year.”

Smithson refocused for Florida GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
A decade into his NHL career, and Vernon’s Jerred Smithson still doesn’t take his job for granted. After seven solid seasons as a faceoff specialist and defensive stalwart with the Nashville Predators, the 6-foot3, 210-pound pivot was dealt to the Florida Panthers for a sixth-round pick at last year’s trade deadline. The 33-year-old Smithson wasn’t overly surprised by the move as the Preds were wanting to make room for some of their rising prospects, but it meant he would have to prove himself all over again in a new system. It is a challenge the down-to-earth veteran is comfortable with. “I’m still learning and having to prove myself every year, which is a good thing,” said Smithson, red-faced and dripping with sweat after a workout session with trainer Rhonda Catt at Vernon’s Excel Fitness. “It keeps me motivated and on my toes. It seems like every year I have to go in and earn my job. I’m not going to get complacent and I want to prove to people I can still play and be effective out there.” Smithson’s description of how the trade went down is reminiscent of a scene from the movie Moneyball, where actor Jonah Hill, playing Oakland Athletics’ stats whiz Peter Brand, awkwardly breaks the news to A’s first baseman Carlos Pena he had been dealt to another team. “A quick phone call from Mr. Poile (David, Predators’ GM), thanking me and telling me about — Jerred the trade,” said Smithson. “I didn’t have a lot of time to sit back and think about what happened – I was on a plane three hours later. It was new, that’s for sure. “I threw some clothes in a bag, collected my gear and hopped on a plane to meet my new team in Carolina. “That first time entering a different locker room, seeing the different colours and seeing the jerseys and the new guys, it was definitely a different experience.” Once he got past the initial shock,
Smithson realized he had landed in a decent organization. “They’ve got a good hard-working team in Florida,” he said. “Great leaders with guys that have been around the league a long time. “With me being an older player, I still get to learn and watch some of these guys.” Panthers’ GM Dale Tallon, formerly of the Chicago Blackhawks, basically cleaned house in the 2011 offseason, bringing in players like Tomas Fleischmann, Sean Bergenheim, Marcel Goc, Matt Bradley, Ed Jovanovski, Jose Theodore, Kris Versteeg, Tomas Kopecky and Brian Campbell. The bold moves paid off as Florida ended a decade-long postseason drought by winning the Southeast Division at 38-26-18. They were eliminated in the first round by the eventual Eastern Conference champion New Jersey Devils. “They brought in some good quality players; guys that have been around, that care, and that want to win,” said Smithson, who recorded two assists in 21 games (16 regular season, five postseason) with Florida after the trade. Smithson, who rents a place in Florida with fiancée Jaymie Hackman, knows he will have to make the most of his main camp audition by showing he can complement his sound defensive game by becoming more of a two-way presence. “I feel like I’ve got a lot to prove; maybe even more so this year than ever,” he said. “I don’t know what Florida has in the system with guys Smithson coming up, whereas in Nashville I had an idea. “Being a contract year, too, I want go in and play my best.” Before any of that can happen, the league and the NHL Players’ Association have work to do if they are going to avoid a lockout, or delayed start to the season. Smithson was on a two-way contract with Nashville when the 2004-05 lockout occurred, so he played with the Preds’ AHL affiliate Milwaukee Admirals.
“I’m still learning and having to prove myself every year.”

Smithson works on strength and conditioning at Excel Fitness. “I was able to play the whole year and stay on top of my game and improve,” he said. “It’s a little different this time. If a lockout does happen, I’m not sure of my plan of attack quite yet. “As a player, it’s frustrating because the game’s at a pretty good place right now if you look at how close teams are. When you get into playoffs, any team can win. “There’s other issues that need to be sorted out, but no one wants to miss time. Players, owners and even the arena staff and people working for the team – it affects more than just the players.” Until he hears otherwise, Smithson will keep preparing for Florida’s main camp in September.

Langley pushes back in Game 3 The Langley Thunder maintained the trend of home-floor advantage in grounding the Coquitlam Adanancs 9-5 in Game 3 of the Western Lacrosse Association finals Thursday night at Langley Events Centre. Similar to Game 2 Tuesday in Coquitlam, the teams kept pace with one another through 40 minutes, posting period scores of 3-3 and 5-5. A pair from Alex Turner, and singles by Nik Bilic, Lewis Ratcliff and Garrett Billings counted for the Thunder, while Jason Jones, Ryan Johnson, Dane Dobbie and two from Kevin Olson kept the Adanacs on target. However, the Thunder offence surged in the third frame, counting four unanswered goals to seal
with 161. Parker Wadsworth and Michael LeNoury claimed fourth gross and net respectively.

Brian Ferguson (151). Brandon Magnus fired a 179 for third gross, and Seth (Smiley) Blundell took third net
the win, and a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven set. In his series debut, Langley’s Kerry Susheski had two huge goals – the go-ahead plus an insurance marker – before Ratcliff completed his hat trick. Vernon’s Brodie MacDonald rebounded from a Game 2 loss by recording 35 saves before being spelled off for the final four minutes by his backup, Steve Fryer. Coquitlam’s Nick Rose finished with 43 stops. The teams combined for 83 penalty minutes Thursday, which is nearly triple that of the series opener. Game 4 went Saturday at Coquitlam’s Poirier Sports Centre. The fifth tilt goes Monday at the LEC. Visit www.theboxrocks.com to access live payper-view webcasts of the action.

Small camp, big talent. There are just 35 players at Vernon Viper main camp this week, and head coach Jason Williamson wasted no time in testing their conditioning as he prepares his squad for the coming B.C. Hockey League season. Dividing the players into two groups, Williamson pushed them through dryland training and on-ice sessions, backto-back, to gauge what kind of offseason training they have put in. “On the first day, we pushed them through the ringer just to see what kind of shape they’re in,” said Williamson, supported by assistant coaches Jason (JR) Read and former Viper captain Dave Robinson. “I was greatly impressed by our veteran guys, and some of the guys that came in. “Some people think that’s a smaller camp, but all 35 are pushing for jobs. “You could definitely see the nerves in the new guys the first day, being on the ice with some of the veterans. They got worked pretty hard so they’re probably a little bit sore, but they’re all fitting in quite well.” Tweeted second-year Viper forward Riley Hunt (@rileyhunt10): “I could use a massage in about 14 different places right now. Maybe even mix in an ice bath.” The Snakes got right into preseason action with a Saturday night game against the visiting NAHL We n a t c h e e Wild.

Wesbild Centre, and will head to Royal LePage Place Tuesday for a rematch with Rylan Ferster’s Warriors. Newly anointed captain Brett Corkey, one of four third-year Vipers, likes the mix he sees at camp. He is eager to erase the disappointment of missing the playoffs last season. “Last year, we fell short of the expectations,” said the Calgary product. “This year, we’re making sure we’re hitting the ground running and that we’re prepared from the start. “We seem to have put all the pieces together this year – good scoring up front, some good size and most of our dee are back and the recruits we brought in are top notch. “There’s a couple of us – (Ryan) Renz, Hads (Aaron Hadley), Spares (Colton
Sparrow) and myself – that have been through that (Junior A national) run, and it’s going to take that leadership to push the young guys through it.” Kevin Guiltinan is one of the Vipers’ defensive recruits, and the 17-year-old Ontario native is looking to add a physical presence to Vernon’s blueline. “I like to throw the body a lot,” said Guiltinan, who played with Vaughn, Ont.’s Hill Academy prep team last season. “Not too much offensively, but I’ll jump up into the play a little bit and stick up for my teammates.” Guiltinan, who impressed the Viper staff at spring camp, is taking a measured approach as he adjusts to the BCHL. “I’m looking to get a feel for the pace and just get off to a good start. I just want to keep it simple.”
Sista’s end on winning note Morning Star Staff
It came down to their final game of North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association season, but Seasons Sista’s finally posted a win. The Sista’s capped their Masters Division campaign with a 3-1 decision over Shushwap Kaos in a Thursday night make-up game on a swampy Marshall Field #2. Kim Sylvester opened the scoring at the 15-minute mark on a beauty feed from Sacha Schenker. Sylvester rifled a shot from 20 yards out, and a slight redirect off a Kaos defender sent it into the top right corner. Kaos, playing with only nine players, kept hustling in the second half. With high winds in their favour, they equalized with a high shot, over the reach of Seasons’ netminder Suzyn August. For the remainder of the game, August was a dream killer, stopping any further attempts on net. The Sistas’ Andrea Zubot set up the winner, sending a back pass to midfielder Sherry Wiebe, who calmly tucked one behind the Kaos keeper. Becky Birbilis completed the attack on a pass from Keri Storey. Deb Whitling, Wendy Horner, Darlene Toews, Lesley Williams and Schenker all played well in a variety of positions. Sistas’ coach Kerry Zubot credited the ladies for their best passing game of
the year, with lots of give-and-goes and unselfish playmaking. Zubot made things exciting by shaking up the roster to give everyone a chance at new positions. In other Thursday night Masters action, the Chick Kickers wrapped up the season with an explosive 9-2 win over third-place Longhorn Impact. The Chicks could do no wrong, supplying all their offence in the first half. Kelly Challen opened the onslaught with her first of two goals, with Crystal Bergman, Jenny Garnett and Mel Jacobs also supplying two apiece. Shauna Duncan unleashed a world-class strike from 30 yards out to complete the Kicker attack. Edeen Ramsay and Myra McEwan handled the offence for the Impact. The Chicks’ Marilynn Vanderdeen and Tric Cox had superb games at outside midfield. Kickers’ coach Mike Johnson and player Charlene Johnson announced their retirement from the team after many years of dedicated service. The team praised player/manager Wendy Martens for her devotion both on and off the pitch. Salmon Arm’s TED United completed an unbeaten Masters season (18-0-2) with a 6-1 win over North Okanagan United. TED got four goals from Kim Turner and a pair by Cathy Bartsch.

There’s no place like home t is good to be home after such a long time. While travelling and experiencing new adventures is challenging and rewarding it creates a level of anxiety and activity not entirely conducive to serenity and comfort. Home, for me, is where I find my serenity, comfort and peace. Or at least I hope to after I take care of all the accumulative mail, phone calls and unpacking that I am still doing. Pat Black Summer is ending and while regretting the loss of hot, sunshiny days at this time of year I always feel the anticipation of new beginnings and the need to plan what I want to do for the fall and winter months. It reminds me of how I felt as a kid, sorry for the end of summer but nervously excited about going back to school, meeting my friends and finding out who my teachers would be. As seniors living here in Vernon we are lucky to have so many opportunities to explore. The Rec Centre with all its programs, aquatic and otherwise, is available to us and is affordable because if you have a limited income you may apply for a reduced rate.

University courses are free for seniors to attend as well or you can participate through the Internet and not have to leave home. As we approach September just check out the listings of what is happening in this paper and you will be amazed at all the activities and opportunities that you can be part of. There is a program or organization to meet every need and interest of all seniors in this community. And most of them are free. Another good news story is that the Heaven Can Wait cruises on Lake Okanagan, organized by the wonderful Okanagan Quality Life Society, is again up and running. The opportunity to spend a few hours on a lake cruise is available for seniors in long-term care facilities, people with disabilities and other non-profit groups and individuals in the Greater Vernon community. President Ron Heuman says that they have resolved the issues and complied with Transport Canada regulations and that they are once again providing on-water therapeutic recreational boat trips. He goes on to say that to date they have completed 75 trips on Okanagan Lake and the joy that the passengers have experienced is heartwarming to the 30 volunteer captains who operate the boat. Heaven Can Wait is off the beach and floating again from the
Vernon Yacht Club. Thank heaven. Speaking of volunteers, if you are looking for something to do in the fall and winter consider becoming a volunteer. When we help others we also help ourselves by increasing our self esteem, and feeling needed and worthwhile. It is also an opportunity to learn new skills, meet new friends and generally contribute to our community. Again, there are numerous opportunities to suit every interest and availability. Call the Volunteer Bureau and see the many opportunities available. Their number is 250-545-0585. According to the David Suzuki Foundation, the average Canadian household throws away one in four produce items, costing about $600 a year. Here are some tips to keep your fruits and vegetables lasting longer. Take produce out of plastic bags because airtight wrappings suffocate fresh produce and accelerate the decay process. Don’t wash produce until you are ready to eat it as moisture encourages decomposition. Don’t rip off fruit stems — keep whole as long as possible. Eat perishable items first e.g., raspberries last a few days, while potatoes can last up to one month.

Free tele-workshop gives a heads-up on brain health Morning Star Staff
Concerned about keeping your brain healthy as you age? Vernon residents can get help from the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. during the free tele-workshop Heads Up: An Introduction to Brain Health, running Aug. 30 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. The workshop for people with early symptoms of dementia, caregivers and the general public looks at Alzheimer’s disease and how it impacts the brain, the latest research on reducing your risk for Alzheimer’s, and everyday tips for improving brain health. Tele-workshops can be accessed via
telephone, with optional online slides. Pre-registration is not necessary. A few minutes before each session, participants simply dial toll-free 1-866-994-7745, then enter the pass code of 1122333. To use the website, go to momentum.adobeconnect. com/alzheimerbc and enter as a guest. ■■■ The World Health Organization called dementia a “ticking time bomb” in its recent report, Dementia: A Public Health Priority. Dementia affects more than 500,000 Canadians today and will rise to 1.1 million by 2038. Although the causes are unknown, older Canadians are at an increased risk. After 65, the risk for
dementia doubles every five years, and according to Statistics Canada, as much as 38.5 per cent of B.C.’s population will be 65 and older by 2031. Dementia’s steadily increasing numbers will also have a tremendous impact on B.C. caregivers who already spend 33.1 million hours per year caring for someone with dementia. That number is expected to jump to 118.7 million hours per year by 2038. Family caregivers also experience higher levels of stress and other healthrelated conditions. For more information on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, visit the society website at www.alzheimerbc.org.

Armstrong Rotary Gets Ready for IPE & Youth Exchange
Rotary parking lot at the IPE.
Armstrong round-about maintained by Rotary.
About Rotary On Feb. 23, 1905, Rotary began as the world’s first service club, calling itself the Rotary Club of Chicago, Illinois. It was founded by Paul Harris, a young attorney who wished to recapture in a club the same spirit he felt in the small towns of his youth. The name ‘Rotary’ derived from the early practice of rotating meetings among members’ offices. While the original basis for Rotary was fellowship, its hallmark has become service to others. Rotary activities are divided among Club Service, Vocational Service, Community Service, International Service and the recently added New Generations Service. Rotary Club of Armstrong The Armstrong Rotary Club was chartered in 1979, sponsored by Jack Peters and the Vernon Rotary Club. We meet Tuesdays at 6 pm at the Anchor Inn. We gather for fellowship and to hear stimulating guest speakers. We raise money for projects by operating a parking lot at IPE during the last week of August; hosting a wine auction; holding pancake breakfasts; and hosting a garden tour. Our youth-focused activities include the Rotary Youth Exchange program, backpacks for the Boys & Girls Club, plans for an Interact Club at PVSS, high school scholarships, assistance for Camp Arrowflight and sponsorship of the local Scouts group. Our community activities include maintenance of gardens at the local round-about and art gallery & museum,

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Because you’re equally as intuitive as you are logical, your business instincts could be better than usual. With this combination working on your behalf, it should spell big profit. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You won’t have to do anything out of the ordinary to attract attention. You won’t go unnoticed, regardless of the size of the crowd or type of people in attendance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Should you get involved in something of a confidential nature, make sure that you don’t mention your plans to people who are not key players. There’s no reason to involve outsiders. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Sometimes, people come to us for advice but don’t really listen to anything we have to say. This won’t be true in your case your reputation will command respect and deference. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Many of your best ideas will involve ways to further your ambitions and add to your resources. This might encourage you to aim for many different kinds of targets. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You’re likely to make an indelible impression on others, not because of any heroic deed, but because of all the little acts of thoughtfulness you display. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Although you might not be invited to participate in a friend’s undertaking,
you can create your own venture and perhaps have even more fun. Do your own thing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Do what you want to do in concert with others, rather than going it alone. Not only will things be easier to pull of, you’ll also have a lot more laughs and joy being with others. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) When your artistic and creative attributes start vying for attention, find some time to respond to them. Chances are you’ll produce something of beauty that’ll last a lifetime. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll feel more satisfied if you select activities that require both mental and physical agility. Better yet, engage in games that stimulate competition. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Owing to the good auspices of others, your possibilities for gain look exceptionally promising. You’ll do especially well getting involved with persons who have generous natures.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Q: A: Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder DO NOT BE LOCKED INTO 4-3-2-1 POINTS Arthur Boyd, one of Australia’s leading painters in the last century, said, “Art doesn’t alter things. It points things out, but it doesn’t alter them. It can’t, no matter what a painter wants to do.” At the bridge table, highcard points do alter things. A top player, though, is not blinded by them; he is flexible in his thinking. For example, in today’s deal, do you agree with North’s raise to two notrump (given that it was natural, not a transfer to diamonds)? And what should South do now? A one-no-trump overcall should show about 15.5 to 17.5 points, a little stronger than a one-no-trump
opening. (You want some extras because if West has a fair hand, he will make a penalty double, which will be lucrative unless North can run into a long suit.) This appears to make North’s raise borderline, but aces are wonderful, worth nearer to 4.5 points than four. And any finesses that South wishes to take are probably winning. So North’s game-try is fine. (In fact he might even jump to three no-trump!) Also, the South hand seems to be a minimum with only 15 high-card points. However, it has a lot of pluses because East is known to have almost all of the missing points. There are surely three spade tricks available. And that diamond suit will be worth three or
four tricks. South should not be a point automaton and should happily raise to three no-trump. Probably West will lead the spade six. South wins and drives out East’s diamond honors, ending with 10 tricks: three spades, two hearts, three diamonds and two clubs.
My dog had a small abrasion on his hip and by morning it was a large raw area. What could it be?
This could be a moist dermatitis or commonly referred to as a “Hot Spot”. A hot spot is a localized area of inflamed, infected skin. It appears as a moist, oozing, irritated lesion that is usually caused by biting, licking, scratching at the affected area. Hair loss can occur at the site, but hair can often mat over the irritated area, obscuring the size and severity of the problem. There is usually some inciting factor that starts the incessant licking, biting and scratching. Some of the causes may be external parasites such as fleas, lice or mites. In addition, insect bites, allergies or even an abrasion or wound could initiate this behavior. Some animals out of boredom or separation anxiety will start chewing or biting, igniting a hot spot to develop. What should be done to address this problem? Since most times the lesion appears very rapidly, it is wise to consult your veterinarian. They can diagnose and treat appropriately. Also these hot spots can be painful, so the sooner treatment can commence, the speedier the recovery. — Dr. Miles Latwat, DVM

Medical professionals share expertise The Apwoyo Gulu fundraiser on Sept. 7 will help the Vernon team for the Canadian Network for International Surgery take medical supplies and equipment to Uganda CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
The staff members at St. Mary’s Hospital in Lacor, Gulu, Uganda, do the best they can to care for their patients. The 483-bed hospital has up to 700 patients a day with patients sleeping on the floors or outside under the trees. There is not enough staff, and while many are well-trained, others have just basic training and others are learning on the job. Supplies are short and the temperatures can reach 48 degrees with high humidity. Canadian and other medical teams are welcomed for the supplies and equipment they bring and for the training they provide. Vernon surgeon Dr. Ghee Hwang has visited the hospital several times and has brought Vernon medical staff with him. “I teach the doctors and we have put together a course with books for nurses. There is no standardized training for nurses in the country and they were quite excited to have this opportunity. We want to train the nurses so that they will be able to train others; that way, they help themselves and won’t always need someone else coming in,� he said. Vernon Jubilee Hospital nurse Ronda Furlan went to Uganda for the first time last March. “I was at the last fundraiser and I knew I just had to go. We did the course and worked on the wards,� she said. “This is a referral hospital and we had patients from all over Uganda and Congo and South Sudan where there is still fighting, and a lot of motorcycle accidents, as that is one of the main means of transport there, as well as everything else you could think of. “It was so interesting to see the different customs. The nurses who had babies would just take time off to go home and breast feed them. Working for the hospital is a good job, and staff members live on the grounds and get school for their children. Part of their pay is a bag of sugar a month. The like their
sugar in their tea. There is a British background there so they spoke some English and we learned a little Acholi and Swahili.� While the Vernon team of Hwang and five medical staff members felt safe, they were taking a real risk, with outbreaks of ebola, which has no treatment and is usually fatal, and with 15 per cent of surgical patients having HIV. The team was able to teach hospital staff to use universal precautions, including gowns, goggles, gloves and bleach and bring some supplies. “The nurses were very proud to get a diploma for the three-week course and wore white dresses and their caps for the graduation ceremony. Everyone was very welcoming and appreciated us being there,� said Furlan. “Some still email us even though they have to go to the city and pay to use the Internet. The hospital has only two computers. “We were able to help with suggestions for improvements that would not cost anything or could be done with what they have. I can’t wait to go back. I have to.� The Vernon team also included Heidi Schelb Fackler, LPN, operating room technician; Denise Nelson, RN; Marian Hembroff, RN; and Annette Timm, LPN, sterilization technician. “We are taking as much as we can for them: hygiene products, medical supplies and equipment, soccer balls and recorders (musical instruments) for the schools, re-chargeable battery laptops,� said Hwang. “There is so much need. Every time I go back, I see something more that needs to be done. “One problem is something we can’t do much about. The women have back problems because they carry large containers of water and other things on their heads, starting as young as age three. But we can help with so many other things. When someone has gone on a trip like this they always want to go back.� The Apwoyo Gulu fundraiser takes place Sept. 7 at 6 p.m. at The Schubert Centre in Vernon. The event includes an African dinner, slide show, silent auction and entertainment with a no-host bar. The cost is $30 per person. All profits will go toward educational materials and medical supplies and equipment for St. Mary’s Hospital in Lacor, Gulu, Uganda, on a visit next March. The project is done in affiliation with CNIS (Canadian Network for International Surgery) to teach peri-operative nursing and provide surgical training for Ugandan doctors. For tickets please contact Furlan at 250-549-2898 or Teresa Hwang at 250-549-1356.

New life for old dock
O
ur dock at the lake is old, tilts, and has seen many, many summers. I suppose we will be like it someday, old and tippy, and have seen many warm days. The majority of the boards are faded gray, worn, and have never seen or felt an ounce of stain. The dock is about five feet wide and stretches out to about 45 feet, far enough that when the lake is high enough we can dive off off it. Diving into the clear Okanagan water is a favourite summer pastime. My darling loves this dock and is determined to keep it together. This year when we arrived in early spring to find it tilting and underwater I thought for sure this was the year to have it

Although I do recycle and redo lots of furniture, old doors and windows, perhaps wood for mantels or art, but not Michele Blais for foundation or core needs of our house. At the little blue house on the lake shore it’s a different story. Here we can experiment and our fathers would be proud. Both of them being farmers who could reuse a piece of wire in 40 different ways would be pleased to see how my darling is rebuilding the dock and extending its life. We have a newer floating dock at the end of it where we

spend numerous hours enjoying the lake and its beautiful views unobstructed from our extended perch. It is a nice 16’ X 16’ square of treated wood and floaties. The original dock and walkway is a mixture of this and that and the stone cages for support. It is the old one that carries us to the new one, and we stand at the end of it to look for weather changes, or size up the day, or climb out of the water. We have replaced lots of the boards and some are lined up evenly with the next and same size, some are not. Screws would have been better than nails, and almost level is apparently good enough. The dock clearly makes a statement that it is OK to not be perfect and still be beneficial. Many of our lakeside neighbours have beautiful

docks that are streamlined, solid, straight and our little one stands proud among them. Like the homeowners who proudly walk its planks, we are far from perfect, have regrouped many times and keep trying. My darling’s determination and pleasure for working on the dock with his odd assortment of resources is amusing and also pleasing as he is determined to keep it standing and useful far beyond its prime. There is joy in working with your hands, repairing and lengthening the usefulness of our belongings, whether docks, bicycles, furniture, cars, houses. We can sometimes be quick to throw something away in our disposable world that still has value and with time and effort can continue to be useful. Our dock: old, weathered, beautiful.

Tours take people to the lushest wildflower meadows with the most spectacular views. It can be tempting to pick a bouquet, but Van Ee warns people not to. “Wildflowers supply important nectar, pollen and seeds for wild birds, bees, butterflies, other insects and wildlife,” she said. “Besides, wildflowers are showy and scented to get pollinated. They need to set seed or replenish their bulbs. Some are poisonous and wilt quickly after picking. “We also get to watch nature perform. A couple of days ago we laughed while watching Mountain Bluebird parents teach their fledglings to take off and land on the chairlift. “Now the juveniles are swooping around.” See the web site at OutdoorDiscoveries. com for details, or call Silver Star’s summer ticket office at 250-5586010.

Time to brew up for Alzheimer’s Annual Coffee Break helps raise funds for Alzheimer support Morning Star Staff
This September, if someone you care about is living with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia, show your support by taking part in a Coffee Break event in your community. Coffee Break is the largest annual nationwide fundraising campaign of the Alzheimer Society that raises money for local programs and services. Kicking off in B.C. on Sept. 21, this do-ityourself fundraiser is fun and easy. It can be as simple as hosting a coffee party at home, in
the office or at a public venue. Prospective Coffee Break hosts will receive a host kit to help with their event. Supporters can also purchase coffee cup cut-outs from this year’s sponsor, Bulk Barn, at various locations in Kamloops, Kelowna, Vernon and Cranbrook. The Bulk Barn head office and the store where the cut-out was sold will match every donation made on Sept. 21. The target goal for this year’s fundraising campaign is $1.5 million dollars across the country. “Increased funding
for services is essential to meet the needs of the growing numbers of Canadians living with dementia,” says Jean Blake, CEO of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. “Having access to services can make all the difference in the way families live with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.” Dementia is a significant health issue in Canada; the World Health Organization called it a “ticking time bomb” in its recent report, Dementia: A Public Health Priority. Dementia affects more than 500,000 Canadians today and will rise to 1.1 million by 2038. Although the causes are unknown, older Canadians are at an increased risk. After
65, the risk for dementia doubles every five years, and according to Statistics Canada, as much as 38.5 per cent of B.C.’s population will be 65 and older by 2031. Dementia’s steadily increasing numbers will also have a tremendous impact on B.C. caregivers who already spend 33.1 million hours per year caring for someone with dementia. “Support groups for caregivers will be in even greater demand,” adds Blake. “They’re a safe place for caregivers to talk, share and form friendships, giving them the confidence and strength to continue caring for family members at home longer. “But to keep these groups active, we need
more funding. We’re encouraging British Columbians to get behind this Canadawide Coffee Break appeal.” To register and start planning your Coffee Break event, visit www. coffeebreakbc.ca.

Use care during summer barbecue season ROSE SONEFF Special to The Morning Star
It’s picnic and barbecue season, but exercise caution in these days of warm temperatures because they are ideal conditions for foodborne bacteria to thrive and multiply quickly. Safe food handling when eating outdoors is crucial. The most important things to remember when cooking during the summer season are time, temperature and cross contamination. Keeping food at proper temperatures — indoors and out — is critical in preventing the growth of foodborne bacteria. Cold, perishable food should be kept in the cooler at 40° F or below, until serving time. Once served, it should not sit out for longer than two hours. Food in individual serving dishes can be placed directly on ice, or in a shallow container set in a deep pan filled with ice. Drain off water as ice melts and replace ice frequently. Hot food should be kept at or above 140° F, wrap it well and place in an insulated container or on a burner set on low until serving. These foods should not sit at room temperature for more than two hours. Meats should be thawed in the refrigerator, not at room temperature.
Sealed packages can be thawed in cold running water. Defrosting meat in the microwave is acceptable, if placed immediately on the grill. Cross contamination occurs when bacteria or disease causing microorganisms are transferred from one food item to another. Prevent cross contamination by: keeping raw meat away from other foods so juices don’t leak out onto other foods; using separate utensils, cutting boards, dishes, and other cooking equipment for raw and cooked meats; washing your hands carefully with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds before and after handling raw meat. Finally, thoroughly wash and dry all cook-
ing equipment, utensils, work surfaces, and reduce bacterial contamination by spraying or soaking surfaces with a 10 per cent bleach solution. Use a digital stem thermometer to take reliable internal temperatures of cooked food. The following internal temperatures are recommended for food safety: rare beef steaks and roasts or eggs: 145°F; fish:
160°F; pork or ground beef: 160°F; food mixtures (containing poultry, eggs, meat and fish): 165°F; and dark meat of poultry: 185°F. Rose Soneff is a community nutritionist with Interior Health.

Caetani Centre patrons celebrate in fine Italian style at second annual fundraiser KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Wine was splashed, cash was splashed, and the art, food and company made a huge splash. Thursday’s second annual A Splash of Red fundraiser, held in the beautifully decorated Caetani Cultural Centre gardens, saw more than 100 patrons, artists, sponsors and volunteers –– dressed in black and white finery with a splash of red –– pay ode to Italian heiress and renowned artist Sveva Caetani, and the property she left behind after her death for the community to enjoy. “Final figures are not all in, but it’s safe to say we raised over $20,000,” said Judy Rose, event organizer. The money will go towards the Caetani Centre’s open house project, to open the ground floor of the historic house up to the community for salon performances, showcases, artist residencies and other events. More than 25 pieces of art work, donated by respected Okanagan artists, were displayed around the gardens on easels as patrons nibbled on appetizers and sipped Italian prosecco out of hand painted flutes. Rose’s rousing performance of Mambo Italiano, made famous by Rosemary Clooney, got everyone in the mood for the seated dinner at long tables draped in white table cloths. Accompanied by pianist extraordinare Jim Leonard, local soprano Melina Moore blew the clouds at bay with a breathless performance of O Sole Mio, and was later

Guests happily noshed on the three-course organic Italian dinner served by Basket Case Catering, with glasses clinking before a tribute dedicated to recently deceased artist Joan Heriot was eloquently delivered by emcee for the evening, Betty Selin. A portrait of Caetani, painted by another event organizer Michelle Loughery, hung above watching the proceedings as auctioneer Victor Noakes was introduced. Local stage and lighting designer Dave Brotsky could be seen holding a spotlight
as the art was brought in, piece by piece, by Caetani student intern Robyn Soderberg and her “twin” Desiree Wagner. Unrelenting to any naysayers, Noakes helped along the lively bids, which reached as high as $3,000 for Doug Alcock’s metal and glass sculpture, Devil’s Dream; $2,400 for Loughery’s work, Faith; and Heidi Thompson’s Yellow Orange Rising fetching $1,500. “Most pieces went for over the fair market value,” said fellow organizer Angelika Jaeger. “Gale Woodhouse’s clay sculpture, Garden Real Estate, went for nearly double
the value.” As the evening wrapped up, Rose, Jaeger and Loughery thanked sponsors Nature’s Fare, Nor-Val, Pure Granite Rocks, Toyota, Sladen Moore and Associates, Leavitt Machinery, and many more for their support. “We also want to thank our artists, Victor Noakes from Antique Imports, as our auctioneer, Betty Selin from Sun FM for MCing, all the volunteers, especially Scotia Bank, those who donated draw prizes, as well as the patrons who attended and purchased the art,” said Rose, who is already preparing for A Splash of Red 2013.
Vernon siblings join pipe band at world championships Submitted to The Morning Star
When Wren and Evan Ellis were encouraged by their parents, Doug Ellis and Karen Stavast, to play a musical instrument, they both started violin with local teacher Carole Ruth. Neither took to the instrument, but through other circumstances, ended up in the fledgling Arran Campbell Memorial Youth Pipe Band, the youth pipe band within Vernon’s Kalamalka Highlanders Pipe Band. Evan says he took up the bagpipes, “because I liked the sound of them,” while his sister, Wren, started the tenor drum, “because I was at a practice waiting to work on some Highland
dancing and was given a drum to beat on.” The move paid off. The Vernon siblings have since gone on to join Vancouver’s Robert Malcolm Memorial Pipe Band, and just returned from the World Pipe Band Championships held in Glasgow, Scotland. The RMM bands are feeder bands for the six-time world champion SFU (Simon Fraser University) Pipe Band and attract pipers and drummers from all over North America. The core group practises in Vancouver and top pipers and drummers around the continent drive or fly in for special practices

leading up to the world championships. For Wren and Evan, this meant 15,000-kilometres of travel from Vernon to Vancouver and back, paying their own way over to the world championships as all the band members do. As well, both were participants at the yearly Piping Hot Summer Drummer at Silver Star Mountain, an event run by Jack Lee, pipe sergeant of the SFU Pipe Band, and featuring many members of the SFU Pipe Band. Daily practice is a must and usually entails one-to-two hours plus extra time to maintain the pipes and drums.

Capsule Comments with
CHRIS SHIDELER When a prescription is refilled, pharmacists are sometimes asked if the drug has to be taken “for the rest of my life”? As we age, it seems we need more medications but it is true that some of the doses of these medications can be reduced later in life or even discontinued altogether. However, no drug should be discontinued without your doctor’s OK and stopping a drug “cold turkey” is not recommended. Men’s sperm count is sensitive to temperature changes. The higher the temperature, the lower the sperm count. Choice of underwear has a bearing on this. Boxer shorts provide a lower temperature environment than briefs that hold the testicles close to the body. However, briefs are not a male contraceptive. Those nutritional charts on food packages shows sugar content in “grams”. “Grams” is a unit of weight. How many grams in one teaspoon (a unit of volume)? The answer is 4.2 grams. So if your soft drink contains 35 grams of sugar that’s over 8 teaspoonsful! This gives you a better picture of sugar content. A healthy daily amount of added sugar is 40 - 50 grams (about 10 - 12 tsp). While adults should take 10,000 steps per day for good health, the number for children is 12,000 steps daily. With so many alternative activities available to children today ... many providing no exercise at all, it’s important to ensure that physical activity is a part of your children’s life every day. The people who work in our pharmacy are our greatest asset. They would be happy to serve you soon. Have Your Prescriptions Filled With Us

Back from the worlds Continued from page B1 “This was a trip of a lifetime,” said Wren who has just turned 18. “I especially enjoyed learning about the history and culture of Scotland first hand, visiting the Wallace Monument and eating fish and chips.” While on their trip to the worlds, the RMM bands also participated in piping live events in Glasgow at George Square, North Berwick International Highland Games and the Pitlochry Celtic night. Both Evan and Wren will participate in the Kalamalka Highlanders annual Piping in the Park, which takes place in Polson Park, Thursday from 7 to 8 p.m. The concert is free and all are welcome to bring a lawn chair and listen to the music. The event kicks off the 2012-2013 piping and drumming season. Registration for youth will be held Sept. 5 at the House of Dwarfs daycare and Sept. 6 for adults at the Vernon Recreation Centre.

ParaNorman
Y
oung Norman is a little bit different than everybody else. He gets picked on at school, has no friends and even his family thinks he’s weird, all because he can communicate with ghosts. When an ancient witches’ curse threatens the townspeople by raising the dead, all Norman’s perceived Taylor & Howe faults turn into benefits and he becomes their only hope. We say, “It’s a horror movie for children.” HOWE: Yeah, this didn’t really work for me. Don’t get me wrong, it’s pretty amazing to look at, but for me that’s about as far as it goes. TAYLOR: I guess I could see that. It had a sort of “kid pace” for a horror movie. So in an adult horror movie, we are watching something hiding in the shadows, waiting for the scare. In this kids horror movie there are no adult scares, so we get a bit bored. But I don’t think the kids there were bored. HOWE: I agree with you. I think kids will love it. It’s just scary enough but not overly scary, and with them adding in the jokes it will make it fun. Having said that, I wouldn’t take my son (who just turned five) to see it. He loves zombies but this may be too much for him. TAYLOR: Yeah, I might draw

FOCUS FEATURES
ParaNorman stars the voice of Kodi Smit-McPhee as Norman, a kid who can see and talk to ghosts. the line at eight and up, unless you have a young kid who can handle scary bits. ParaNorman does a great job of mixing the scares with humour, which takes the edge off, however, the climax of the film is very loud and very intense. I saw a lot of kids holding on to their parents’ arms. Yet, when it stopped and was quiet again, they all laughed at themselves, relieved. HOWE: I watched this in 3D and to be honest, it wasn’t really worth it. There wasn’t anything that I noticed flying out at you. If you do go and take the little ones, go watch it in regular vision, save the $3 that you would pay extra and buy a tiny bag of sour candies instead. They’re a lot more exciting and fun than ParaNorman. TAYLOR: I disagree. Although
the 3D was negligible, the movie was interesting and fun to watch. Especially for a stop motion film, Norman himself is a mechanical doll, about six-inches tall. The sets and cinematography were bordering on amazing. Although the target audience isn’t concerned about such things, ParaNorman is a unique film made by talented folks. It’s worth taking any kids who enjoy zombies, witches, ghosts or other spooky things. It also contains a couple important life lessons: Don’t pick on kids just because they’re different and don’t get wrapped up in a mob mentality. –– Howe gives ParaNorman 2 zombie Puritans out of 5. –– Taylor gives it 3.5 angry mobs out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Fall into these books
S
ummer seems to be zipping by, and fall is just around the corner, bringing the busiest season for book publishing. This year, we will see new works by many well-known authors, but rather than highlight those, I thought I’d focus on some interesting titles that will not receive as much publicity, and may be overlooked as a result. All books are on order, and can be requestMaureen Curry ed through the Okanagan Regional Library. NON-FICTION –– Leonardo and The Last Supper by Ross King. Leonardo da Vinci’s mural depicting Christ’s final meal with his apostles has become one of the most studied, commented on, and debated works in the history of art. King examines the politics of the age in which the artist was commissioned by his patron Duke Ludovico Sforza, to create the work, culminating in Sforza’s overthrow and da Vinci’s flight from Italy. –– Journey with No Maps: A Life of P.K. Page by Sandra Djwa. Page was a 20th-century giant of Canadian poetry, yet when she died in 2010 at age 93, no one had written a full-length biography of her life. Djwa, professor emeritus at Simon Fraser University, rectifies this oversight. –– The Social Media Advantage: An Essential Handbook for Small Business by Amanda Walter. Entrepreneurs can learn how to create and maintain suc-
OFF THE SHELF
cessful social-media strategies in this age of Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest. –– Hubble’s Universe: Greatest Discoveries and Images by Terence Dickinson. A visually sumptuous compendium of images from the Hubble Space Telescope. –– The Goal of My Life by Paul Henderson. The famous hockey player traces his route through the OHL and the NHL, on his way to scoring “the goal of the century.” FICTION –– The Selector of Souls by Shauna Singh Baldwin. In the author’s first novel since 2004’s Giller-shortlisted The Tiger Claw, the paths of a Hindu midwife and a Christian missionary intersect in an Indian town. –– The Deception of Livvy Higgs by Donna Morrissey. An ailing woman is forced to pick apart the lies and secrets buried in her past in what the book’s publisher is calling The Stone Angel of the East Coast. –– Somewhere in Between by Donna Milner. A married couple buy a cattle ranch in remote B.C., only to discover they have also inherited a reclusive and mysterious tenant named Virgil Blue. –– Beware This Boy by Maureen Jennings. In this second installment of the author’s Season of Darkness trilogy set in England during the Second World War, Detective inspector Tom Tyler’s investigates a suspicious explosion at a munitions factory. –– In Sunlight and in Shadow by Mark Helprin. Beginning with a chance encounter on New York City’s Staten Island ferry in 1947, the book is a drama about the illicit romance between an ex-paratrooper and a young singer and heiress engaged to a powerful man.

Investment climbs in B.C. Morning Star Staff

Okanagan College is hosting a training program for people working in the North Okanagan’s tourism and retail sectors.
Campus tackles retail sales Morning Star Staff
Okanagan College is hosting a free four-day workplace training program catering to employees in the tourism and retail sectors. The program, funded through the Canada-B.C. Labour Market Agreement, is focused on upgrading the industry and job-specific skills of eligible participants. “To qualify, businesses must employ retail sales staff, cashiers, or food and beverage servers,” said Val Banks, program co-ordinator. “Employees must have no post-secondary diplomas or degrees.”
“Businesses must employ retail staff.” — Val Banks The workshop includes 24 hours of classroom training, plus six hours of self study. Employees who successfully complete the 30 hours and some short assessments will receive $500. Training topics include exceeding customer expectations; powerful sales sys-
tems; productivity and efficiency; product knowledge; effective communication; problem solving; accountability and ownership; and workplace health and safety. The session for retail sales training goes 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sept. 4, 5, 10 and 11, at Okanagan College’s Kalamalka campus. Food and beverage server training goes Sept. 17, 18, 24 and 25 in the same location. Anyone interested in registering for the Okanagan College program should contact program co-ordinator Val Banks at 250-503-2661, or e-mailing vbanks@ okanagan.bc.ca.
A new study indicates that B.C. is outpacing the rest of Canada in attracting investment. A report prepared for the Canadian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association shows that investment activity in B.C. rose by 71 per cent in the second quarter of 2012 compared with 2011. This represents the largest investment gain in the country, with B.C. attracting more than 20 per cent of all of the venture capital invested in Pat Bell Canada. “This report speaks to the great confidence that investors currently have in B.C.,” said Pat Bell, the province’s jobs minister. The report also shows the largest deal made in Canada during the second quarter happened in B.C., with D-Wave attracting a $35.9-million investment. Vancouver is currently the second-largest economic centre in Canada to receive venture-capital investment. (Toronto is the first largest.) As one of the B.C. government’s investmentattraction initiatives, the B.C. Renaissance Capital Fund has worked to attract more than $159 million in new investment since its inception in 2007. The companies receiving that investment have created 968 full-time jobs. The Canadian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association study was conducted by Thomson Reuters.
Insurance must be considered
M
om, dad, grandma and grandpa are some of the affectionate ways we describe family members who are unique and irreplaceable. If an accident, illness, disability or even death claimed one of the irreplaceable people in your life, what would you do? Certainly there would be unavoidable consequences to your personal and family life, but there are some financial consequences that you could alleviate with the right insurance coverage. Life insurance could provide tax-free funds at a critical time to pay your mortgage or other household debts, or be
used as a source of investment income to replace the income from a family member. Term life insurance can be a good starter option for younger couples, but gets more expensive over time and does not allow you to renew after age 75 or 80. Permanent life insurance stays in force for a lifetime and the premiums are set at the time of purchase, and depending on the policy acquired, may never change. If the family member is a busiAndy Erickson ness owner, life insurance could be used to repay business debt, or a co-owner could obtain key person insurance on the

family member and use it to buy out their interest in the business. Mortgage insurance will cover your mortgage debt. You can get mortgage insurance from your lender, but the more flexible option is renewable term insurance that allows your named beneficiaries to use the proceeds to pay off some, or all, of the mortgage or other pressing expenses. Disability insurance can provide a source of income should a key family member become unable to earn a living or manage your household for an extended period. Critical illness insurance provides a lump sum of money that can be used to pay for the replacement of valuable services and/or the costs of medical care.

Long-term care insurance pays the costs of medical and home care including respite care that allows a caregiver to take a break. It protects your family’s existing financial assets and helps ensure a surviving spouse or children will receive an undepleted estate. Today’s families and extended families come in many shapes and sizes and each member plays many important roles with a high emotional and life value that can and should be protected by insurance. Your professional advisor can help you make the right insurance choices for your family. Andy Erickson is the division director with Investors Group, Vernon.

Babiuk lending a hand Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Terrie Babiuk has always been one to help those in need. Her new business, All About You Helping Hands, is a reflection of that philosophy. Babiuk, who moved to Vernon from Calgary just over a year ago, believes neither seniors, nor physically challenged individuals, should be forgotten or pushed aside. Her goal is to provide a service which allows seniors to stay Terrie Babiuk in their own homes longer by assisting them with day-to-day tasks that may have become too challenging to complete alone. Some of the activities All About You can help with
include grocery shopping, picking up prescriptions, going to appointments, playing cards or going for a drive. “Seniors have worked hard all of their lives to give us the freedom we all enjoy now,” said Babiuk, a graduate of the self employment program, operated by North Okanagan Employment Services Society (now run through Community Futures North Okanagan). “They deserve to enjoy all that is important to them. I want them to be able to do the things that have always been able to do, but now need a little help to complete.” Babiuk, who volunteers at Hospice House, and with the Kalamalka Caring Klowns, can also assist families of the elderly or disabled by offering respite, palliative care and help with celebrations.

The Honua Kai Resort and Spa is a popular attraction for anyone spending time exploring the Hawaiian islands.
The lure of lomi lomi KAROLINE CULLEN
Special To The Morning Star
HAWAII - Feeling as though I am in the movies, I brace the gun more firmly on my shoulder and yell “Pull!” A small sporting clay zips in an arc above the trees. As instructor Frankie directs, I point, wait, and fire. Frankie cheers as the disk shatters and I can hardly believe it has. I would not have bet on me hitting a barn door. I am on the island of Lana’i, a 45-minute ferry ride from Maui. While on both these islands, the aim, pardon the pun, is to seek
beyond sand and surf for Hawaiian experiences novel or cultural. Clay shooting certainly fits in the novel category. Under Frankie’s patient tutelage, this rank beginner hits clays at more than one station on the range. I contemplate my new sharp shooter status as I swagger back to the Lodge at Keole. Tucked at the end of a driveway lined with stately Norfolk pines, the Lodge with its croquet courts, pagoda, pond, and orchid house, resembles an English country manor. There is a sister

evident the island was once Hawaii’s largest pineapple plantation. Bumpy dirt roads make for great jeep exploring and we detour to untrammeled spots with exotic names like Shipwreck Beach and Garden of the Gods. Stopping at Lana’i City, we browse art galleries, restaurants, and shops. At the Four Seasons Manele Bay, perched above the enchanting curve of white sand along Hulopoe Beach, I wander through lush themed gardens. In the ocean side spa tent, the relaxing sound of waves is all I hear while Amy begins a Hawaiian lomi lomi massage. It is an ancient technique she learned from teachers on Maui and the name means “to break down the tissues.” With long flowing strokes of her hands and forearms, she reduces me to a state of contented butteriness. Lomi lomi is not the only Hawaiian I hear this trip. At the
Ka’anapali Beach Hotel, Rance starts his cultural garden tour with a low, sonorous chant to the gods. The ancients knew the beneficial effects of plants: ginger as a natural antibiotic, mamaki for cleansing teas, naupaka leaves to treat jellyfish stings. After a departure chant to the gods and the gift of a traditional kukui nut lei, we meander over 59, one-lane bridges along the winding road to remote Hana on the east coast. The lush green hills contrast a deep blue sky and the black lava coastline. We pass cliff sides covered with ferns, waterfalls pouring down, taro plantings and a black sand beach. Installed in a spacious Sea Ranch Cottage at the Travaasa Hana Hotel, we watch horses graze ocean side as the sunset paints the sky pink and purple. The view alone is a lush relaxation treatment. Despite a myriad of wellness and cultural choices ranging from yoga to lei making to the art of the cocktail, another lomi lomi massage beckons. Relaxing on a teak lounge in the spa’s garden overlooking the ocean is an ideal preface to my massage. An hour later, I am blissfully “tenderized.” Getting to know this Hawaiian stuff is addictive!
