paign to replace Gordon Campbell as Liberal leader. Steve Gunner, the NDP’s Shuswap candidate, says Abbott deserves credit for representing constituents and his handling of educational matters. “George has done the best he can with what he was given. He was a good man in a difficult portfolio,” said Gunner, who believes Abbott’s departure creates opportunities in Shuswap. “There’s an appetite for change. The free-enterprise doctrine is not working for everyone in the province.” Other Liberals retiring this week are Kevin Falcon, John Les and Mary McNeil. Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, denies the departures mean the Liberals are floundering. “It’s our job to make sure people know this isn’t the case. The ship isn’t sinking,” he said. Foster, who will seek a second term, is confident about the Liberals’ prospects. “If we get the message out there about being the free-enterprise st alternative and people wanting to see business prosper, we are then the team to support,” he said.

Elite athletes could put Vernon on the map. Vernon is among a number of communities that have been invited to bid for Ironman Canada. “We are looking for a new home for Ironman Canada,” said Steve Meckfessel, with the Tampa, Fla.-based World Triathlon Corporation, owner of the event. “There’s a home for it ideally in Western Canada.” Ironman has been in Penticton for 30 years but the South Okanagan community is entering into a new relationship with Challenge Family next year. That has led to a search for a new Ironman host. “Vernon kept popping up on the shortlist as well as did Kelowna, Vancouver, Victoria and Whistler,” said Meckfessel. Among the criteria that will be considered in selecting a community is the resources and facilities required to host a major event (Penticton had 2,700 participants this year). “We’re looking for a community that wants us and wants a long-term relationship,” said Meckfessel. “There’s a lot of interest from athletes to preregister for next year.” Interested communities must submit bids by Sept. 24 and an announcement will be made in mid-October. Vernon council is expected to make a decision on a bid package Sept. 10. “There is a lot of information to still be considered,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. “Definitely there are some positives but definitely there will be negatives and responsibilities. We don’t want to miss out on a good opportunity but we want to do our homework.” City staff are currently doing some research. “It’s an iconic event and internationally known. But what are the costs involved and the capacity of the community to host it well?” said Michelle Jefferson, tourism manager. Areas to be considered are pulling together and accommodations for the athletes plus their family and support team. The city would also need a budget for the event. “The host community is responsible for quite a bit,” said Jefferson. Jefferson isn’t sure if Vernon could host Ironmanst in conjunction with Kelowna. “We want to talk to other communities that may be interested,” she said.

News Armstrong’s IPE rounding up large crowds RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Fans were busting down the gates in Armstrong Wednesday. The first day of the Interior Provincial Exhibition saw 16,320 people pass through the gate. That’s compared to 16,897 in 2011. “It was a really good start. It’s pretty much on par,� said Bryan Burns, general manager. A large crowd was expected Thursday (attendance was not known at press time), but the swell of people will come today, Saturday and Sunday. “It increases as the week goes on. Lots of people come out,� said Burns. A major factor in attendance is the weather. “Today is looking great and Saturday and Sunday are looking awesome,� said Burns. Besides Okanagan residents, the crowd has been made up of people from Washington State and Alberta. “We’re getting great crowds from all over,� said Burns. As Burns made his way around the grounds, he was impressed with the positive feedback he was getting from fair-goers. “A lot of people loved the new events,� he said. “The Extreme Wild show and the mini-chuckwagon races had great crowds.� Another hit has been Crazy Balls, which has children get inside a giant plastic ball and roll around in water. But the major focus for many people has been the heart of the fair — agriculture. “There are all kinds of things you can see whether it’s animals or fruits and vegetables,� said Burns, who is encouraging everyone to come out to the fair. “You can spend a whole day or two days and not see everything. There’s great value for everyone.�

Treatment facility draws opposition RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Residents in the Harwood area say they have been left in the dark over their new neighbours. The John Howard Society hopes to have a 10-bed substance abuse facility for men open by Nov. 1 in the 2500 block of 43rd Avenue. There will also be separate rental suites for men who are not addicted. “We’re not saying these gentlemen don’t need services but it’s the location,” said one resident who asked not to be identified. “How do you put people with criminal offenses within a few feet of at-risk citizens — children and seniors?” Neighbours are upset that there was no advance notice from the John Howard Society or the City of Vernon. “There’s no trust. We aren’t getting any answers or being empathized with,” said the woman. “It fits the zoning but that’s not good enough. There should have been, at the very minimum, a good neighbour agree-

John Howard Society has plans for a substance abuse treatment facility in the 2500 block of 43rd Avenue. ment.” The woman says there are concerns that the drug trade may move into the area and there could be increased theft and an impact on personal safety. “What happens if someone relapses and needs a fix?” she said, adding that there are schools, day care centres and seniors care homes within a short distance. “The community he will offend against is ours.” City officials stand by the process followed. “They are not changing the use of the property,” said Dale Rintoul, a planner.
“There is no rezoning so no public hearing is necessary.” Rintoul says the city is aware of the planned treatment activities. “Zoning cannot discriminate over the occupants of the dwelling.” Barb Levesque, John Howard executive director, says the site was selected because of the zoning and the proximity of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. “As they move along in recovery, they must be connected to the community,” she said. “We want them to volunteer and be upstanding members of

the community.” Levesque insists that the facility is not a halfway house but she admits some of the people wanting to abandon drugs and alcohol have criminal records. “That’s the same in any apartment building. It’s about addiction and not crime,” she said. “We want people committed to sobriety to come together.” The agreement to purchase the property hasn’t closed yet and renovations are needed before the facility opens. “We felt we had time to consult with the com-
munity but it got ahead of us,” said Levesque of neighbours’ complaints that they weren’t consulted. An information
meeting will be held Sept. 6 at the Vernon Alliance Church at 7 p.m. “We want people to truly understand and
for the rumours to come to a rest,” said Levesque, adding that there will also be a neighbourhood council to address issues.

Charity scam leads to alert RICHARD ROLKE
Morning Star Staff
Vernon residents are being warned about door-to-door scams. There have been cases of individuals approaching residences and saying they are with UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund). They have an automated card reader with them so donations can be made through debit or credit card.
• Rent and sell an array of moving-related equipment and accessories • People assigned to provide total service to your own dealership
“We’ve had a few complaints. It appears to be a scam,� said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. In one case, a resident thought they had made a $10 donation. “Several hundred dollars were taken out of their account,� said Molendyk. Molendyk admits that some scam artists can come across very professional and because of that, residents must be vigilant.
“Be very cautious and be aware that scammers are out there,� he said, adding that residents should still be encouraged to support charitable groups. “UNICEF is a good organization and there are safe ways to contribute to them such as their website.� Toronto-based Public Outreach represents UNICEF and its staff wear photo ID badges and carry UNICEF materials.

Trials Stars captivate crowd ANDRE LODDER Morning Star Staff
For young kids, there’s always a draw to jumping on and off curbs and creating ramps in yards and driveways to jump with our bikes. That draw is hitting full force in Armstrong as a couple of riders known as Trials Stars show off their talent at the 113th Interior Provincial Exhibition in Armstrong. While most of us moved on from the ramps and curbs, others like Steve Dickin and Jeff Anderson started thinking bigger. The two riders attended the same high school and found some common ground. “We met mountain biking at a camp, some other guys were doing this and we kind of followed suit,” said Dickin. The two have been riding for 12 years and started doing their own shows six years ago. The show features the two riders, hopping to and from boxes that are anywhere from four to eight feet high, balancing on skinny beams and even using their trailer as a prop. “My favorite was when they jumped from the trailer to the skinny bar,” said an ecstatic five-year-old Rhiley Pawluski following the show. Pawluski acknowl-
edged he probably couldn’t do the tricks right now, but he, his brother and his cousins who were also in attendance, agreed that they might be able to do it in the future. According to Thomas Johnson, they may already be on their way. “I did a couple of jumps on the ramp that we made,” said the eight-year-old Johnson. While the show is certainly a big draw for the kids, they’re not the only ones who are taking something from the show. “It’s kids and then adult males who enjoy it, that’s our demographic,” said Anderson. “It’s actually the dads who come up after the show and ask us all the technical questions.” Putting on these shows definitely has its dangers, but the two riders have gone reasonably unscathed in their years of riding. “We haven’t had anything really serious, mostly sprains and cuts on the shins, but no broken bones,” said Dickin. Anderson and Dickin will be at the IPE putting on three shows a day – 1:30, 4 and 6:30 p.m. – for the duration of the fair. For more information on events and shows at the IPE visit armstrongipe.com.

A dream come true
C
an you list the names of the four Beatles? I could. It was one of the first questions I faced in the newsroom. Sometimes I think my answer alone got me the summer job at the paper, but I’d like to think my skills and education had something to do with it too. When I was younger, I never thought to myself, ‘when I grow up, I want to be a reporter.’ No, I had bigger dreams. Like most kids, I dreamed of the NHL, and if I didn’t make that I was going to be in the NFL, but if I absolutely had to I’d settle for the CFL. I also went through phases where I was conAndre Lodder vinced I was going to be a firefighter or a police officer. At one point I even thought I was shrewd enough to be a lawyer. But as we grow older, reality always seems to creep in. During my high school summers, I had stints working in mineral sampling, lawn and garden care and even a brief term at Walmart, hardly on my way to making the NHL. Soon dreams of being a professional athlete turned into being a sportscaster. The thought of being a police officer turned into a body guard or security officer, but that just wasn’t enough. After high school I did some work in forestry, as an electrician, a forest firefighter and even a short tenure at a call centre. Eventually I moved on, if I couldn’t fulfill my dreams, I wanted to do something where I would at least get some of those experiences. Fast forward a few years and here I am in the newsroom. I’m the rookie, the newbie or fresh meat as
AT RANDOM
some might say. I wish I could tell you some entertaining stories of how Kevin and Rich pestered me throughout my tenure here, but I really can’t. It wasn’t quite everything you’d expect from an internship. I wasn’t the guy getting coffee for everyone, nor did I change the water cooler on a regular basis. Instead, Glenn put me right to work writing stories and Kevin had me shooting old(er) guys playing soccer. Little did I know, that would be my Monday nights for the next two months. In April, I graduated from photojournalism, I was running on a high, ready to conquer the news world. I figured Vernon, my hometown, would be an ideal place to start my career. After all, 20 of the 23 years I’ve been alive have been in Vernon, I was born at Vernon Jubilee and I had graduated from W.L. Seaton Secondary in 2006. While I might be a rookie in the newsroom, I considered myself a seasoned vet when it comes to this city. Oh, how I was wrong. The more stories I wrote and the more people I met along the way, the more I realized there is a lot more to Vernon than my early years and it would take at least another 20 before I could actually consider myself the aforementioned ‘seasoned vet.’ I’m not sure where I’ll end up in the future, but if my time here is a sample of what I can learn in this field I have a lot to look forward to. I’m not a hockey star (yet), nor do I plan on starting police training any time soon. No, I think I’ve found something that will let me live out all my childhood dreams. Even if it’s by telling the stories of people who are fulfilling theirs. And who knows? Maybe a sportscaster isn’t so far off.
The last one out of the Liberal caucus room better turn off the lights. Veteran Shuswap MLA George Abbott announced Thursday he won’t run again in May 2013. He brings the current number of Liberals bowing out to nine, including the high-profile Kevin Falcon and Bill Barisoff. All of them reference personal commitments for moving on, and that’s likely the case for individuals like Abbott who has been in office since 1996. He deserves credit for his dedication to the public service and his constituents. However, there’s no ignoring the fact that the Liberals are in trouble. The free-fall started under Gordon Campbell and if anything, the pace has picked up under Christy Clark. Despite her attempt to differentiate herself from her predecessor and promises of more open communication with British Columbians, Clark can’t get a break. Absolutely nothing has helped. The NDP continues to sit at the top of the polls and the B.C. Conservatives are nipping at the Liberals’ traditional free-enterprise base. As a result, there can’t be any doubt that the party’s fortunes have played a role in the rapidfire retirements underway. Preferably, you leave office on your own terms rather than going down to defeat. It’s almost like history is repeating itself as there are parallels between what is happening to the Liberals and what occurred with the Socreds in their last days in power. Caucus members will continue to jump before spring’s election and Clark may become known as the latest version of Rita Johnston.

Council getting sidetracked on issue
I
was dismayed to hear of the recent fear mongering regarding hunting and specifically to the issue, bowhunting, being presented to council and being paraded in front of the public without any facts. Both the previously noted activities are very safe and have been going on in the area well before the City of Vernon was incorporated. The city limits and annexed areas now stretch from Okanagan Landing and the Commonage to Adventure Bay and the Foothills which incorporate vast rural areas, farms, acreages and undeveloped land. Our local hunting community act in a safe and legal manner and I support and note their positive contribution to our community both financially and as wildlife managers and stewards. The increase in the amount of local wildlife is a direct result of increased available food and suitable habitat. Deer are rampant in the city limits as are coyotes and other predators. Deer cause many accidents involving personal injury and death and coyotes are well known for attacking and killing pets. In fact, the number one mammal killer of humans in North America is the Whitetail deer. According to Jacob Berkowitz, Canwest SCIENTIFIC EVALUATIONS Tom Fletcher cites Stephen Harper as saying, “...decisions on these kinds of projects are made through an independent evaluation conducted by scientists into the economic costs and risks that are associated with the project.” What this says, in other words, is that scientists – who are inarguably much brighter than economists – are now going to judge the economic risks and costs of the project. That raises a few concerns. First, this is a government that has laid off hundreds of scientists while requiring those still working for the government to vet all their responses through a media person. Secondly, large corporations, from tobacco through to the oil companies are known to hire scientists as lobbyists to push their own view through the media, quite successfully in many cases. Is this “independent” evaluation coming from muzzled scientists whose responses are already written for them? Or is it coming from scientists
R

News Service in 2008: "Last year, approximately 60,000 Canadian drivers hit a deer - double the number from a decade ago. The total cost to drivers, taxpayers and insurance companies was about $400 million. The numbers are drawn from the insurance company's study, which covered Ontario, Alberta and New Brunswick, and by compiling the latest national and provincial data." Hunting and fishing are part of the reason many of us live here in the North Okanagan. It is the local hunters that keep them in check and in turn harvest the edible species as a food source that is organic and natural. Regarding the publicized comment that
who have been bought and paid for the ‘correct’ response? As in the case of climate science and the oil companies, and bioengineering, many of these scientists do not have degrees in fields actually related to the topic under question. A third concern: if the scientists' mandate is to discuss the economic risks and costs, whatever happened to the environmental risks and costs? It is the nature of large corporations to ignore the costs of environmental and cultural damage as they increase their own profit line. If said science truly does its work, it is much more probable that an accounting of environmental and cultural costs and risks will far outweigh the short-term economic benefits for the corporations – and even shorter economic benefits for those buying into the project. The final real concern for Harper is of course political – how to present this case so it does not look like his decision, deflecting any flack away from his next electoral chances. Jim Miles

WALK-INS WELCOME
Whether this work is meant to be temporary or not, perhaps what would have worked better, ( and still can), is to have the barriers, once at the old boat launch entrance, turn toward the lake and section off the boat launch parking area from the beach itself, giving the public some parking. As the season has some time left, this would be valuable and save the road from getting plugged up with vehicles, making it safer. You are not going to have blankets and chairs spread around on that spot anyway and it would probably accommodate up to about 15-20 cars if done well. Also, the little piece of property, across Lakeshore Road from the boat launch lot right against the creek, at present is a complete eyesore. This could be cleaned off and used for parking for now, whether the city owns it, or could possibly lease it from its owner. These two fairly simple remedies should help make Lakeshore Road safer for all. Rory White

KUDOS TO COUNCILS In a recent edition of The Morning Star, the editorial speaks to the recent barriers set up on Lakeshore Road at Kin Beach. Firstly, I think kudos should be given to the councils of the day, both on the City of Vernon side, and the Okanagan Indian Band side. This work (or something like this), has been a long time coming and apparently not able to be agreed upon by previous councils representing both sides. The editorial speaks of the opinion of the work done in percentages of in-favor/not-in-favor, being 56 per cent to 43 per cent respectively. The problem here is that the public wasn't consulted before the work was done, as to what they think might work best. Again, things were just done without thinking ahead. It stands to reason that, with the public having gotten used to being able to park wherever they want, that when that convenience, (and safety hazard in this case) was taken away, like water itself, they would find the path of least resistance to compensate for it.

has been recently made: "That frightens me. Having had bows in my youth, I know they can shoot three or four hundred yards. They can go a long ways, and if you can kill a deer, you can kill a person." Chuck Adams, a very well respected international bowhunter is quoted as saying. "For whitetail deer entered into the P&Y record book, average shot distance is about 19 yards. Less than five percent of record book whitetails are shot beyond 40 yards." So let's stop wasting time based on incorrect and false information. The 400yard comment is so far-fetched, it's not worth commenting on, however, bows and arrows properly outfitted can and do kill deer, of
course, that's the idea. Many things can kill or cause injury but it's not possible or practical to eliminate all risks in life, common sense must be exercised and risks respected. The province of B.C. already manages hunting and has a specific law as follows from the 2012-2014 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Synopsis: "It is unlawful to hunt or discharge a firearm within 100 metres of a church, school building, school yard, playground, regional district park, dwelling house, or farm or ranch building that is occupied by persons or domestic animals." Clearly, with this written in provincial legislation, our current no-shooting firearm bylaw within the city limits and the limited range of a bow there is no need to visit this issue. I would ask that council note the current laws already in place and continue on their path of bringing jobs and development to Vernon, improving services and amenities to residents and optimizing the city's internal workings and not get sidetracked and waste their valuable time on manufactured "issues" where none really exist.

It’s back to class for local motorists. Residents are reminded that the 30-kilometre school zone will be back in force when classes resume Tuesday. “Slow down and be especially alert in the residential neighbourhoods and school zones,” said Gord Molendyk, with the RCMP. “Take extra time to look for kids on medians and on curbs. Enter and exit driveways and alleys slowly and carefully watch for children on and near the road in the morning and after school hours.” School zone speed limits are in force from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. “When dropping off children in a school zone, stop and allow them to exit on the side of the car closest to the sidewalk,” said Molendyk. “Never allow a child to cross mid-block. If a vehicle is stopped in front of you or in the lane next to you, they may be yielding for a pedestrian, so be prepared to stop.” Remember that vehicles approaching from both directions must stop for school buses when their lights are flashing. But not all of the safety advice is for drivers. Children should cross the street with an adult until they are at least 10 years old. “They should cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks, never run out into the streets or cross in between parked cars,” said Molendyk. “If your child is going to be riding the bus to school for the first time, be sure to talk about bus safety. Make sure they always walk in front of the bus where the driver can see them.” Children should remove their headphones and put away their phone or MP3 player when crossing a street. “Focus your full attention on the road so you can see, hear and respond safely,” said Molendyk.

The project was supported by a grant from the Okanagan Basin Water Board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the population of this valley continues to grow, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be more important for all of us to adopt WaterWise principles,â&#x20AC;? said Anna Warwick Sears, OBWB executive director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The garden will be a beautiful place for people throughout the Okanagan to come and visit, but just as importantly, it will offer visitors an opportunity to see water conservation and protection in action, demonstrating projects that anyone can do in their own yard.â&#x20AC;? Programs at the garden will center on education and skill-building through practical application as well as provide inclusive vocational and social opportunities for people living with physical, developmental and mental health conditions. Working closely with Kindale Developmental Association and a number of community and municipal partners, work is now focused on building the initial infrastructure required including irrigation systems, fencing, outbuildings and soil remediation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With a solid site plan designed and the initial project completed, the next phase of the project is a demonstration food forest that will be planted in September,â&#x20AC;? said Lister.

Locals looking to get a peek at some of the spectacular views at The Rise have their chance. The Golf Club at The Rise is opening its doors to the public in support of the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. Experience the flora, fauna and views during the third annual Fabulous Fall Vista Tour Monday and Tuesday. “These magnificent vistas are rarely available to the non-golfer; but anyone can take advantage of this opportunity,” said Sue Beaudry, director of development of the VJH Foundation. “Don’t forget your camera as you never know what you might see.” Golf cart tours of the Fred Couples’ signature course are available by donation (donations of $20 or more will be receipted for income tax purposes). All proceeds go to Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation and will support medical equipment purchases for the hospital. There are two days to choose from: tours go Monday at 5 p.m. and on Tuesday, there are tours at 9 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. The course is closed to golfers for its annual aeration during the tours, so it offers an opportunity for nongolfers, senior citizens and anyone interested to check out the course. The tours also have the support of the community association of homeowners at The Rise, who are helping to conduct the tours. “They thought it was a good way to give back to the hospital,” said Beaudry. Freddy’s Patio Restaurant will be catering the event with breakfast, lunch and dinner specials. Golf carts are limited, so reserve your spot as soon as possible by calling 250-542-5111. “It usually sells out but there still are spaces available,” said Beaudry.

Lake Country targets ambulance wait times KEVIN PARNELL Black Press
Lengthy waiting times for ambulances in a few serious health incidents has officials in Lake Country asking its residents to watch out
for their neighbours as the number of emergency calls increases, perhaps due to the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aging population. Three separate lifethreatening incidents in
the past several months saw residents wait nearly an hour before an ambulance arrived. Two of those incidents were heart attacks and a third was an industrial accident.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were considered life-threatening and the first ambulances werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the scene for 50 minutes,â&#x20AC;? said Lake Country fire chief Steve Windsor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That seems more and more common. As B.C. Ambulance gets busier, we get busier and we are also seeing more out-of-town ambulances responding to accidents. It also gets more difficult for our paidon-call department to respond as people have to leave their jobs.â&#x20AC;? He said B.C. Ambulance is stretched thin in the Okanagan Valley and that means the Lake Country Fire Department is often the first on the scene. Complicating the matter is Lake Countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were considered lifethreatening.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Steve Windsor aging population including residents who live in retirement housing like the Blue Heron or the Lake Country Lodge and other areas of that are home to retirees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These places have a lot of retired people and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re finding more and more calls generated because of these institutions within Lake Country,â&#x20AC;? said Windsor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As people get older they have more need for (ambulance) service
and we are seeing our calls increase.â&#x20AC;? Despite what appeared to be a trend to longer wait times, B.C. Ambulance says the average wait time for calls in 2011-12 was only 13 minutes in Lake Country. Urgent call volume for the area was 486 events, an average of just over one call per day. There are 19 paramedics that staff the the Lake Country station and one ambulance is

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS McLeod Park Improvements This proposal is being issued for the design-build of a small park in the Township of Spallumcheen. The Design-build will be based on an approved conceptual landscape plan prepared by a Landscape Architect. The work generally includes, but is not exclusive to: stripping, stockpiling and grading, pedestrian path construction, playground design and installation, furnishings, fencing, irrigation, and landscaping including growing medium, trees, shrubs and maintained grass areas. Proposal Documents are available during normal business hours beginning August 30, 2012 at the Township of Spallumcheen Municipal OfÂżce and online through BC Bid Online at www.bcbid.ca.
available 24 hours per day, seven days a week with a second unit on during the day, according to B.C. Ambulance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The B.C.Ambulance Service is dedicated to providing Lake Country residents with a responsive ambulance service,â&#x20AC;? said Kelsie Carwithen, manager of media relations for the B.C. Ambulance Service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recently added a dedicated helicopter air ambulance in Kamloops to serve the residents of the Interior including Lake Country.â&#x20AC;? Despite that, several Lake Country councillors have expressed concern with the high wait times at the three incidents. Coun. Owen Dickie urged Lake Country residents to be aware of the senior population in the area noting that Lake Country has a much higher percentage of retirees than the Canadian average. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On long weekends itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entirely possible (B.C. Ambulance) could be stretched thin enough that there may not be any coverage,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a community we need to be aware of older people living around us and be conscious or whether they are out and about.â&#x20AC;?
The proposal must be submitted and clearly marked â&#x20AC;&#x153;McLeod Park Improvementsâ&#x20AC;?, by mail, courier, or in person and will be received no later than 2:00 P.M., Local Time Thursday, September 13, 2012. Direct all inquiries regarding the proposal to the Consultant:

Grindrod hall project needs senior support RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A community project in Grindrod could hit a cash-crunch without high-level support. Construction of a new community hall is expected to begin Sept. 18, but only half of the required $400,000 budget is in place. That will only get work to the lock-up stage, leaving the interior unfinished. “We hope the federal and provincial governments will come in on this,” said Herman Halvorson, with the Grindrod Recreation Association. Both levels of government have been lobbied, but no cash is in hand yet. “I have made MP Colin Mayes aware of it and have encouraged him to come out and look at what we’re doing,” said Halvorson. “MLA George Abbott has been helpful and we will be applying for grants.” Halvorson hopes senior government will see benefits to the project because it will create employment for construction workers, while adding to the long-term viability of Grindrod by attracting families and events. “Last year, there were 132 events in our old hall and we will get far more use in a larger facility,” he said. The present structure, which has been sold to generate revenue for construction, is in poor shape and only fits about 50 people.
Would you like to leave a gift to your community which goes on giving forever? CALL US AT 250.542.8677
The new hall will be in Grindrod Park, home to the annual Garlic Festival. Besides government, there is the possibility of funding coming
from the Enderby Lions Club. “We are still looking for community support,” said Halvorson. “There will be businesses that come for-
ward with support.” For more information about fundraising, efforts call Halvorson at 250-838-7407 or Lindsay Kibbe at 250838-6096.

Getting into the University of B.C. means more than making the grade Undergraduates’ life experiences now count in addition to academic achievements. UBC is expanding its undergraduate admissions policies to ensure that the best – as well as the brightest – students have every opportunity for a university education. A broad-based
admissions process will be in place for 2013/14 at UBC’s Okanagan campus. Applicants will be considered on the basis of such things as their life experiences, out-ofthe-classroom learning and personal goals in addition to academic performance. Faculty members believe broad-based admissions will showcase a student’s characteristics and strengths, enhance classroom discussion and help dif-
ferentiate talents aside from academic standings in order to make an informed decision about applicants. “We feel a great deal of excitement about doing a better job selecting the best possible students for UBC by valuing things that all educators prize,” said Gordon Binsted, dean of the faculty of health and social development. The faculty comprises of the dchools of health and exercise sci-
ences, nursing and social work. “For our programs, the reflection of a student’s success goes beyond the grading process and lets us differentiate values,” said Binstad. “We can have a better look at competencies, leadership and other attributes of students who have a chance for success.” Essentially, students will be able to tell their own story. Applicants will answer four to six “personal profile” questions, in addition to providing secondary-school marks. The questions give applicants an opportunity to talk about their learning, life experiences and goals. Jan Cioe, head of the psychology unit of the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences, says the current level of academic success among high school graduates makes it difficult to distinguish students based solely on grades. “Probably one of the most important elements is the strong empirical evidence that the dimensions of broad-based admissions will help predict how students will succeed, despite not having top marks.” Cioe suggests educators will see a difference in the classroom. “These kinds of students will provide a richer environment for classroom discussions,” she said. “They will be able to draw from their
personal experience and that will have a definite value for the quality of discussions.” Binsted cites an example where an 18 year old plays a major role in a single-parent family by taking care of siblings. “As a result, their highschool marks may not be up to their capability, but their life experience gives them an added depth of character,” says Binsted. Measures such as family responsibilities, overcoming adversity, volunteer service, hobbies and community engagement are valuable ways to predict a student’s success, says Binsted. Responses to personal profile questions will also be used as eligibility criteria for major entrance scholarships, international major entrance scholarships and the outstanding international student award. The broad-based application process – centred on grades and personal experiences – has been used across UBC’s Vancouver campus since last January for applicants of directentry undergraduate programs. In 2011, fully 25 per cent of all first-year students at the Vancouver campus were already being admitted with the broad-based approach. “These experiences show that by including personal profile questions, UBC is building a more diverse student body,” said Fred Vogt, UBC deputy registrar.

Whitecaps’ back lightens up camp KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Whitecaps’ legend Carl Valentine used a car metaphor to describe young Carlyle Mitchell while introducing him to a youth soccer camp Wednesday morning at Marshall Field. “I like to call Carlyle a Rolls Royce because he’s so smooth at central fullback,” said Valentine, an ambassador and coach with Vancouver’s Major League Soccer franchise. Afterwards, Valentine talked about how well Mitchell fit in with the 80-plus campers. “He came in on late notice after Gershon Koffie picked up a right adductor strain in training and needed to stay in Vancouver to receive additional treatment, and he was so interactive. It was his idea to have a race with the kids.” Mitchell, 25, made his senior
international debut for Trinidad & Tobago during a 3-1 friendly defeat at home to Caribbean rivals Jamaica in August, 2010. The striker-turned centre back has since made three international appearances for The Soca Warriors. As a Trinidad & Tobago youth international, Mitchell made five appearances for his country’s U20 national team in 2006, and the next year made four appearances with their U23 squad in qualifying for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The 6-foot-2, 165-pounder had a blast at the soccer camp, one of several the Whitecaps have held all summer throughout the Interior. “I came about sixth in the race,” smiled Mitchell. “I didn’t wanna show up the kids so I let them win.” One of seven children, Mitchell said his childhood was pretty good as he joined his older brother,
ing. Guys like Barry Robson, David Beckham and Robbie Keane.” Mitchell, who loves the friendly people and sights of Vancouver, wants to play pro soccer until he’s 35. And the Barcelona supporter has accepted the challenge of becoming
a defender. “It’s tough, but as a professional soccer player, you’re supposed to be able to play any part of the field. It’s a mental thing because I love to score goals. From attack to defence, you have to adjust.”

Galaxy in a crucial match Saturday. Vancouver holds down the fifth and final Western Conference playoff spot at 10-10-7, three points back of the Galaxy and five up on FC Dallas. “I’m enjoying the experience,” said Mitchell. “It’s tough getting into the team. It’s a very competitive team but at the same time, I have to relax and hold on ‘till you get your chance, and when you get a chance, you grasp it with both hands.” An influx of experienced internationals is creating more exposure and panache to the MLS. “The pace of the game is getting faster,” said Mitchell. “These new players really add to the league; they have made the league more excit-

All 16 BCHL teams will be in action at the Showcase. ■ The BCHL announced the hiring of Trevor Alto as the league’s new executive director. Alto, a White Rock native, comes to the BCHL after six years in the financial industry and replaces outgoing director David Sales. He is responsible for executing all league sponsor deliverables, generating new partnerships, heading the league’s finance committee and overseeing day-to-day administration. In addition, the 33-year-old is tasked with applying the BCHL’s discipline regulations. A former Prince George Spruce King, Alto went on to play with the UBC Thunderbirds (2000-03) while he completed studies in sports management and commerce. While playing at UBC, he appeared in the movie Miracle where he portrayed Team USA forward Neal Broten. ■ Vernon’s Jared Seutter has committed to the Selkirk College Saints for the coming B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League season. Seutter joins the Saints from the KIJHL Chase Heat, where he was captain during the franchise’s expansion year. The 5-foot10 winger scored eight goals and totalled 25 points and 46 penalty minutes in 48 regular-season games, while earning the team’s Unsung Hero and Most Sportsmanlike Player awards.
New qualified coaches are urgently required as the Steve Nash Youth Basketball (SNYB) program expands its Vernon program to include kindergarten to Grade 8 students. This year’s program begins Friday, Sept. 14 and runs for 10 weeks. “Our K/1 group in particular needs coaches with special qualifications for helping very young children in an athletic environment,” said SNYB director Johnal Lee. If you have interest in coaching, e-mail stevenashbasketall@gmail.com or call Lee at 250-558-8944. “This basketball organization is a part of Basketball B.C. and is dedicated to training the youth of Vernon on how to play basketball the right way,” added Lee. “Basketball skills are developed through drills and games that are led by experi-
enced coaches.” SNYB in Vernon boasts some of the finest coaches in the province. Its administration has recently added Warren Cullum, the former president of SNYB in Vanderhoof. “Warren’s experience and expertise in organization and coaching allows this program to continue to grow. Last year more than 160 kids took part and it is expected that they will register more than 200 this fall. “The local schools have continued to support this program by making school gyms available on Friday nights. The teachers and coaches of the local schools have continued to give their time and energy to help make the program a great success. Parent volunteers have also been a vital part of the team.” Cost is $100 which includes a jersey and ball. You can register online at www.snyb.ca/vernon.

Oughtred rules Ridge Morning Star Staff
Cliff Oughtred went just 6-over par to claim the Predator Ridge Golf Resort men’s club championship last weekend. Oughtred followed an openinground 1-over 73 Saturday on the Ridge course with a 5-over 76 Sunday on the Predator track. He opened with a double-bogey six Saturday, but recovered nicely with birdies on two par-3s (No. 8 and 15) and two par-4s (10th and 17th). He received the club trophy and a pro shop gift card. James Faraday and Steve King were both two strokes back at 151. Doug McKinnon was second low gross in the first flight at 153, while Brian Johnston placed second low gross in the second flight with a 161. Stewart Porter at 166 and Cal Halasz at 169 were one-two in the third flight low gross. There was a field of 62. The men’s low net champion was Paul Baryla at 137, followed by Morey Walker at 140, John Devenish at 144, Arne Anderson with 146, Rick Garbutt at 147 and Gary Newell and Morgan Grant, both at 149. Maureen Turner came in at 161 over two rounds to take the ladies club title by five strokes over Nancy Kurbis. Eva Poxon was third low gross at 183. Alison Wheeler captured the low net crown at 142, followed by Kathleen McKenzie (146) and Alanna Petrusich (152). There was a field of 13. ■ Maple Leaf Junior Tour players from across Western Canada competed for four division titles in the Okanagan Junior Championship at Predator. Two sunny days were capped off Monday by 17-year-old Jared Du Toit taking the title and receiving an exemption into the San Diego Junior Amateur Golf Championship in January. Du Toit, 17, of Kimberley, managed the difficult Predator Ridge course with relative ease, firing back-to-back rounds of 68 (6-under 136), good
enough for a three-shot victory in the Boys 17-19 Division. Runner-up was Steven Lee, 17, of Kelowna, who shot two excellent rounds of 68-71 (139). Alex Chen, 16, of Richmond claimed the 14-16 division with fine rounds of 72-71 (143). Finishing two shots behind Chen was Marcus Brown, 16, of Surrey. Landon Stellingwerff of Calgary claimed the Under 13 Junior Boys crown after firing 75-75 (150). Second was Christopher Ballesteros of Burnaby at 81-74 (155). Madison Kapchinsky, 18, of Kelowna, defended her Okanagan Junior Girls title, scoring 77-71 to win by nine shots over both Mackenzie Barrie, 16, of Vernon, and Ella Williams of Calgary, who carded identical scores of 80-77. Austin Bosquet of Vernon won a Mr. Lube Long Drive award, while Vernon’s Chris McEachran-Law took home some Sundog Eyewear for a Closest to the Pin contest win. McEachran-Law was eighth in the Boys 14-16 class at 77-78 (155), while Bosquet shared ninth at 80-76 (156). Brett Hantiuk-Zalapski of Predator shot 97-86 (183) in the Boys 17-19 division, while 11-yearold Colton Schaper-Kotter carded 108-95 (203) in the U13 Boys. ■ Spallumcheen won the annual Zone 2 Senior Men’s Club Team Golf Tournament Monday at the Kelowna Golf & Country Club. There were 19 teams representing various Okanagan clubs. Scoring was calculated by adding the four best individual scores out of the five-man roster for gross and net totals. The Spall team of Pat Lewis, Brian Paul, Stan Beaulieu, Dave Minshull and Ron Middlestead captured first place in the overall low net category and brought the trophy back to Spall for the first time since 2006. The four-man net total of 282 bested the field by nine strokes.

Vernon officer riding for kids Morning Star Staff
Deputy sheriff Kevin Lane has been training all summer for the journey of a lifetime. The local officer embarks on a cycling journey for kids Thursday, leaving Kelowna for the 10 day, 2012 Cops for Kids Ride. The annual Cops for Kids ride takes the team of 28 RCMP riders, sheriffs, border services officers, civilians and support crew across the southeastern portion of B.C. to raise money for children in medical, physical or traumatic crisis in our communities. “I’ve been riding my bike all summer, trying to train for the gruelling terrain and elevation changes we’ll face over the 10 days,” said Lane. “I know that this journey will be a lifechanging experience for me, but it’s nothing compared to what these kids face on a daily basis.” Lane has also been fundraising all summer to participate in the ride. Each rider is responsible for raising a minimum of $2,000, and Lane has already raised $1,265 through various events and family/friends in the community. “These children require medical equipment, mobility and learning aids that aren’t covered by government funding, and Cops for Kids is able to provide these crucial funds because of this event,” said Lane. “I know that I’ll miss my family while I’m away, but I’m excited to know that what I’m doing is making a difference in the lives of children who need it most.” The Cops for Kids Ride takes place Sept. 7 to 16, and will arrive in Vernon Sept 16. Lake Country’s Stephen James is also taking part in the ride.

Hells Angels clubhouse focus of RCMP raid Black Press
A man police describe as the sergeantat-arms of the Kelowna chapter of the Hells Angels and the subject of a Canada-wide arrest warrant following a weekend raid on the Hells Angels clubhouse in the Okanagan
has turned himself in to police. Brian Oldham, accompanied by his lawyer, walked into the RCMP detachment Tuesday afternoon. Police in Burnaby said they feel Oldham realized there was nowhere to hide after his photo-
graph was made public at a press conference the RCMP held on Monday in Vancouver to outline the raids and identify Oldham as well as several other men who have now been charged as a result of the raid. At the press conference, the RCMP said in
addition to the raid on the Kelowna clubhouse Saturday, raids were also conducted in Osoyoos and Coquitlam at the same time. The raids resulted in the seizure of $4 million in alleged drug money, as well as several handguns and assault weap-
ons. With the discovery of weapons, RCMP are suggesting there may be some serious implications the neighbours have not had to think about to date and the police raised the point during the press conference.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This investigation demonstrated how organized criminal groups engaged in drug trafficking have no respect for municipal, provincial or international borders. More concerning is the complete disregard these groups show for Canadian families and public safety, both of which pay the devastating price exacted for criminal profits,â&#x20AC;? said Supt. Brian Cantera, officer in charge of the RCMP Drug Enforcement Branch in B.C. explained in a statement. Seven men were arrested in connection with the police action. One of them, David Giles, the vice-president of the Kelowna Hells Angels chapter, was arrested at a Burnaby casino on the weekend. Giles, who was acquitted of drug charges in 2008, was charged Monday, along with three other men, Kevin Van Kalkeran, Michael Redd and James Howard with conspiracy to import a controlled substance and conspiracy to traffic a controlled substance. Three other men, Organ Saydam, Murray Trekofski, Shawn Womacks were charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking a
controlled substance. Crown lawyers want to use a direct indictment for all seven, which would allow them to go directly to trial in B.C. Supreme Court. At Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s press conference, Cantera said the raids in Kelowna, Osoyoos and Coquitlam resulted from an investigation dubbed E-Predicate that exposed what police say was an international plot to import 500 kilograms of cocaine into Canada using money from the production and sale of marijuana produced in the area covered by the south-east division of the RCMP in B.C. That area includes the Central Okanagan region. The investigation took 21 months and involved several international agencies from as far away as the U.S., Mexico and Panama. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The investigation began in November 2011 and initially focused upon the evidence suggesting a marijuana and trafficking organization was active in the southeast district of British Columbia. RCMP gathered evidence indicating the drug trafficking organization was prepared to import and traffic 500 kilograms of cocaine,â&#x20AC;? said Cantera.

Many lost their job and were forced to relocate. Their employers brought in replacement workers and used this so called ‘conspiracy’ to have 24 members of the movement arrested and jailed.

-USICAL SISTERS PURSUE THEIR DREAMS Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Colleen and Alicia Venables have a bond that will never be broken KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long ago that raven-haired sisters Colleen and Alicia Venables had audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feet tapping to their fiddle tunes played on the family entertainment stage at the Interior Provincial Exhibition in their hometown of Armstrong. The girls, now in their mid-to-late teens, grew up playing together as a duo, and also with the Youth Symphony of the Okanagan and the Okanagan Symphony. Musical talent, it turns out, runs in their DNA. Now living apart, the girls take any opportunity they can to perform together since they have each gone on their own paths, playing solo and in ensembles on more national and international stages. Alicia, 19, is about to return to Calgary for her second year in Mount Royalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music performance diploma program, while also concurrently participating in the Mount Royal Conservatoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advanced performance program. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with her little sister where she really feels most at home, as could be seen recently when their bows flew in unison while performing at the Vernon Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although we have grown as individuals, we still have an amazing connection,â&#x20AC;? said Colleen, 16, who is still in high school. Just recently, the girls were, individually, named among Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best young musicians. After placing in their respective categories at the regional and provincial music festiKRISTIN FRONEMAN /MORNING STAR vals, the Venables were victorious at the 2012 Colleen (left) and Alicia Venables pose in front of the Vernon Community Music School, where the National Music Festival, held Aug. 16 to 18 at sisters have studied both violin and piano.

conductor/violinist Pinchas Zukerman and violinist/violist Patinka Kopec, who is on faculty at the Manhattan School of Music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did a lot of chamber music lessons and watched a lot of concerts done by the NAC Orchestra. Pinchas and his wife, Amanda (Forsyth), also did a performance on violin and cello for us, which was wonderful,â&#x20AC;? said Alicia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would love to end up playing with a great orchestra or symphony especially since doing so much playing in an ensemble. I love both ensemble and solo playing, and it helps to learn both as you always have to collaborate with someone.â&#x20AC;? Meanwhile, Colleen, who travels regularly to Calgary to study at the MRU Conservatoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Academy, is pursuing her dream of being a solo artist. She returned to the Albertan city in July to once again participate in Mount Royalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s international music exchange program, Morningside Music Bridge. There she took part in the concerto competition and won a position to play in concert with the Calgary Philharmonic. Alicia, it turns out, won the same competition last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made a promise to myself to always do music as long as I want to do it. If I am not in love with what I am doing, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to give it my 100 per cent,â&#x20AC;? said Colleen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also think an education is as important as music. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to have a back-up plan. You have to keep your options open. I love learning English, math, and languages are also important. You need the social skills to talk to people.â&#x20AC;? And although the girls are about to part ways to return back to their respective studies, they will reunite in October to play a piece they have performed together for years, Bachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Concerto for Two Violins, with the Calgary Civic Symphony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have both matured a lot the past few years, not only mentally and emotionally, but in our musicality. We can communicate better which helps us express the music in the piece,â&#x20AC;? said Alicia. The sisters are especially grateful to their parents, Jan and Bob, their teachers and mentors, including the Okanagan Symphonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music director Rosemary Thomson, who have shown the girls immeasurable support over the years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to thank everyone,â&#x20AC;? said Alicia, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being away from home now, I realize how much support I have received from my mom and dad and teachers... When you go away somewhere, you realize how much you miss it here and the support.â&#x20AC;?

The show is presented by 13th Floor Entertainment and Bassbong Records, who have joined forces in hopes of bringing bigger names and better shows to the Okanagan, said Josh Brazier, with 13th Floor. With recent success and music lovers coming out in the masses, 13th Floor and Bassbong have booked one of western Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most talked about DJ/producers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Neon Steve is coming fresh out of the Fractal Forest, one of Shambhalaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most well known and sought after stages,â&#x20AC;? said Brazier, referring to the internationally known electronic music festival based in

weird voices that become an acquired taste. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long list of musicians here; many of them former cohorts, that give this album of wellcrafted melodic songs a warm â&#x20AC;&#x153;bandâ&#x20AC;? vibe. Bad For Me has the classic contours of a lovegone-bad song but is given the bittersweet twist of acceptance and surrender. Speaking of classic sounds, this album is bursting with them. On the title track, Benson sings â&#x20AC;&#x153;What kind of world, Will take me apart, Before I can start? What kind of world?â&#x20AC;? over a driving power pop progression that dovetails into a ringing crescendo. Almost too good for radio, it wears the pop tag solely on the appeal of the vocal hooks which Benson seems to drop effortlessly everywhere. He also applies that sensibility to On the Fence, a happy Stones-style hillbilly song celebrating laziness and indifference. Along with melodic appeal, there are strong currents of darkness that run through What Kind of World that add pleasant stirrings of unrest. This yin and yang is a heady and attractive mix and has potent tracks of highlight. Thru the Ceiling has a startling uneasy chord pattern and Here in the Deadlights boasts a crawling Damned-style guitar riff under a high, edgy vocal. The spookiest track is Pretty Baby â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a murder ballad thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enhanced by a southern gothic betrayal theme. This album has songs that creep with the element of surprise â&#x20AC;&#x201C; tracks to burn on for a long time to come.

Canadians choose Hogwarts as fave fictional school Submitted to The Morning Star
History and math classes would take a back seat to flying and alchemy if Canadians had their way this school year. The results of a survey released Tuesday by Cineplex Entertainment, which owns Vernon’s Galaxy Cinemas, and Ipsos Reid found that 41 per cent of Canadians chose Harry Potter’s Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as the fictional school they most want to attend. Other top choices selected from a list of famous fictional schools include Fame’s New York High School of the Performing Arts (17 per cent), The Breakfast Club’s Sherman High
School (12 per cent) and Dead Poets Society’s Welton Academy (11 per cent). “Witchcraft and wizardry have a certain appeal,”said Pat Marshall, Cineplex’s vice president of communications and investor relations. “And it’s easy to understand how learning to fly a broom would trump a stuffy English lesson with Robin Williams’ Professor Keating.” With high school homecomings just around the corner, the survey also found Canadians have some interesting ideas about their ideal fantasy dates for get-togethers with old high school friends. Asked to select from a list of Hollywood’s hot-
test actors, 26 per cent of female respondents chose George Clooney as their ideal high school reunion date. Johnny Depp was runner-up, receiving 20 per cent of the vote.
Among men, Team Jen (18 per cent) trumped Team Angelina (13 per cent), as Jennifer Aniston was named Canadian men’s top choice as their fantasy high school reunion date.
Students looking to curry favour with teachers for the upcoming school year should mark Sept. 25 on their calendars – the official release date of The Avengers on Blu-ray.

A family tradition of firefighting CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
It was business as usual for Wayne Little as he completed his last shift with Vernon Fire and Rescue Services Tuesday. “I’ve just got to finish this report,” he said at 7:45 a.m., as he wrapped up a 14-hour shift on duty which included attending two FMR (First Medical Response) calls. “Firefighting is a tradition in our family. My uncle, Fred Little, joined in Vernon in 1932 and was chief from 1939-1970, and my father, Ken Little, was a firefighter for 33 years and chief from 1970-1980. The family has been serving for 80 years. I remember going to visit the old Vernon fire hall as a kid.” Little started working at Safeway and began as a volunteer firefighter for threeand-a-half years after his father convinced him it would be a good job. He was a career firefighter for more than 32 years, retiring as Captain of Vernon Fire Rescue C Shift. “It’s been a great career. I have really enjoyed my job here. Every day is different and you make good friends with the people you work with,” he said. One of the most memorable fires he fought was the ice plant fire in July 1980. “It was my first year and I was pumping from the arial ladder. Suddenly, there was the biggest fire ball and the 50 people who had been watching were running down the railroad tracks. “Firefighting is always about getting the fire out safely for everyone. I would say the trucks have changed in that the trucks are more technical and the training is always getting better. Firefighters are very well prepared. I’ve had three or four near misses but with good timing, I made it. It’s exciting work and you have to make important decisions very quickly but I’ve enjoyed it. This is a bitter-sweet day for me.” Little plans to keep busy with his many hobbies, which include rock hounding, photography, golf, tennis and fishing. His advice to anyone who wants to be a firefighter: “Become a volunteer firefighter and try it out.” Cara-Leigh Manahan, a dispatcher, will miss working with Little. “That’s my Wayne going. He’s so consistent, you can tell he loves his job. He’s always calm and positive and that affects us all.” Fire Chief Keith Green said, “It’s been a privilege and an honour to serve our community together. We thank Captain Little for all his dedication and hard work during his career and wish him all the best in his retirement.” Little had the traditional last ride home in one of the fire trucks with his crew on C Shift.

Grandma is a narcissist
D
ear Annie: I am married to a great guy, and we have two wonderful, intelligent teens. But my motherin-law is causing great stress. “Mama” was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder 10 years ago and is prescribed a cocktail of drugs to help with a preponderance of violent mood swings, anger, resentment and occasional dissociation. She is a textbook narcisKathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar sist who can only demand love for herself and is unable to give to others. Her family relationships and many of her friendships have taken a dive. It’s a wonder she can hold down a job. Her big trigger is perceived rejection. When she was in our home, she expected to be everyone’s entire focus. She demanded the full attention and affection of my husband and deeply resented his relationship with his own children. Needless to say, invitations to holiday gatherings dwindled over the years. Her grandchildren have grown up without her in their lives, although we have taken care not to poison them against her. Now, Mama has taken herself off all meds and declared herself cured. She has convinced herself that her diagnosis was wrong, and that her problem all along
ANNIE'S MAILBOX
has been emotional abuse from others, including her children and grandchildren. In short, everyone else is to blame. The trouble now is that she is blogging on the Internet, publicly criticizing family members, including our teenage kids and their cousins. The adults can dismiss this as the ranting of a mentally ill person, but we’re afraid our kids are going to come across the blog one of these days. Any advice? — Also Sleepless, but in Sonoma Dear Sonoma: You have our sympathy dealing with such a difficult situation. You don’t have to poison the children against Grandma to have a heartfelt discussion on mental illness. The kids are old enough to understand that their grandmother is not well, and that her behavior can be unpredictable and sometimes unkind. They may never see her blog, but if they do, you will have done all you can to inoculate them against whatever damaging reaction they may have. Dear Annie: I work in a small office with one of the most unprofessional and disgusting co-workers a person could have. My main complaint is that when we are in the break room, “Penny” takes out her dentures and sets them on the table. Between the gross dentures and her vulgar mouth, none of us wants to take a break in the one area we have. Nobody, not even management, is willing to address the issue. She reads your column, so please print this. — Grossed Out
Dear Grossed Out: We are sympathetic to Penny’s desire to be comfortable in the break room, but it is important to be considerate of others who share your space. Don’t count on her seeing herself in the column or doing anything about it. Our suggestions are for you: You can take breaks when Penny is not using the room; you can ignore her dentures to the best of your ability; or you can bite the bullet and ask politely if she would refrain from removing her dentures when others are present. Dear Annie: “Loving Mom, Disgusted Mother-in-Law” is worried that her daughter will return to her drug-abusing husband. It’s too bad the daughter isn’t going to Al-Anon. They said I would know when I wanted to make the break. It comes down to how much pain you can tolerate before you are willing to make changes. I realized two things: that I didn’t want him to die in the house, and that we would lose our home if I didn’t do something. He finally reached sobriety six years after the divorce and managed to be a good dad for 22 more. — J. Dear J.: Self-help groups like Al-Anon (al-anon.alateen.org) and Nar-Anon (nar-anon.org) can be godsends for those who live with addicts. Thank you.

Lace up your walking shoes for Parkinson’s Morning Star Staff
Thousands of people across British Columbia can now register online to start raising funds for the 17th annual Parkinson SuperWalk which will take place in September. On SuperWalk day, they will either walk for themselves, or for someone they know and love who is suffering with Parkinson’s disease. In Vernon, SuperWalk is scheduled for Sept. 8 at Polson Park; registration is at 10 a.m., and the walk starts at 10:30 a.m. Participants can register as an individual or a team by visiting www.parkinson.bc.ca Parkinson SuperWalk is the single most important national fundraising event of the year for Parkinson Societies in Canada. The goal is to raise more than $3 million nationally and $325,000 in BC. Parkinson SuperWalk will take place in 90 communities across Canada, with 14 events being held in B.C. throughout September. If there is no organized walk in a specific community, supporters can still be involved by registering as a virtual walker. Proceeds from SuperWalk go to research and support services provided by Parkinson Society British Columbia (PSBC). For families living with Parkinson’s disease, the walk represents not only the opportunity to raise funds for research, education and support; it also gives walkers the chance to meet other people who are living with the effects of this devastating condition. For the past few years, Rhona Parsons of Excel Fitness in Vernon has been instrumental in helping the Parkinson’s community keep active with exercise classes called Antifreez. For those unfamiliar with the disease, one of the many side effects is to sometimes freeze up for a few seconds to a minute. Parsons hopes people will support SuperWalk and see that there is still life and hope after a diagnosis. “I am walking for all of my clients affected by Parkinson’s,” she said.
Parkinson’s is the second most common degenerative neurological disorder after Alzheimer’s. Parkinson’s is a cruel disease that affects not only the person with Parkinson’s but their entire family. The symptoms are many and include tremor, rigidity, postural instability, difficulty talking, walking and swallowing, reduced facial expression, and in some cases, depression and dementia. It can strike anyone – women and men of all ages, ethnic backgrounds and lifestyles. There is currently no known cure. Established in 1969, Parkinson Society British Columbia is a not-for-profit charitable organization that exists to address the personal and social consequences of Parkinson’s disease through education, community outreach, scientific research, advocacy and public awareness. It is estimated that 11,000 British Columbians live with Parkinson’s and more than 100,000 in Canada. Research is ongoing around the world to determine the cause of the disease and ultimately find a cure. In B.C, the Pacific Parkinson’s Research Centre at the University of British Columbia conducts the largest peer-reviewed Parkinson’s research program in Canada, under the direction of Dr. A. Jon Stoessl, an internationally renowned expert on Parkinson’s disease.
BIBLE BASICS
Zech. 43:1: “What seest thou? ... Two Olive trees” 10 years must elapse before olive trees give harvest, 30 before the best. The exploitation of an olive orchard is a long time affair. The harvesting of the fruit takes place before it is ripe. Sometimes it is picked, but most often the trees are shaken or beaten. Any extraction of the oil necessitates a preliminary bruising of the fruit. The Apostle Paul uses the symbol of 2 olive trees (good and a wild) to represent Jew and Gentile, the 2 great families of God.

The year ahead could be a very significant one where your career and earnings are concerned. There is a promising situation that could bring in more money than you’ve ever seen if you’re smart enough to recognize it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You can sometimes be a rather gregarious person, who feels comfortable even in a crowd. However, those times are limited, so if solitude appeals to you, do your own thing.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) None of the parties involved are apt to be satisfied with a sensible agreement that’s being worked out. If this continues, its prospects for survival are dubious.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In all probability, you’re going to find yourself the center of attention, but others won’t be looking for things to admire about you. It behooves you to be on your best behavior, to foil the ones hoping you’ll slip up.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Although at times you can be pretty good at juggling several critical assignments simultaneously, this is not likely to be one of those days. It may be best to do less, and do it well. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) A small misunderstanding might easily arise between you and a good friend. It could even become magnified beyond its significance if allowed to turn into a clash of wills. Back off. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) If your timing and tactics are not in sync, it’ll be extremely difficult to fulfill any ambitious objectives. Do what’s smart and effective, not what’s convenient. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Strive to be diplomatic regarding any issue that you need to discuss with a temperamental friend. If your opinions are not in harmony, it could quickly turn into a heated argument. QUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) If there are still some old accounts that haven’t been cleared from your books as yet, it’s best not to assume any new financial obligations. Try not to overburden your budget. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Any important friendship must be handled with more than the usual amount of consideration and tact. Any thoughtless behavior or misunderstanding could put the relationship in jeopardy. ARIES (March 21-April 19) It’s extremely important that you don’t allow your responsibilities to pile up on you. If you do, you’re going to have a devil of a time trying to catch up.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Be careful about imposing your opinions on an unresponsive listener. In all probability, this person will be slow to anger, but your intrusion could stir him or her up. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) There is a strong possibility that both you and your mate might each feel it’s the other one who is spending too much money and wrecking the budget. In reality, it’s both.

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.

The
Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder WHAT’S PARTNER KNOW ABOUT YOUR HAND? Author Ray Bradbury, who died in June and was particularly well-known for “Fahrenheit 451” and “The Illustrated Man,” said, “I know you’ve heard it a thousand times before. But it’s true -- hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don’t love something, then don’t do it.” I know you’ve heard it a thousand times before, but it’s true -- work hard to describe your hand accurately to partner. In today’s deal, North has the decision to make. South opens one spade, West passes, North passes (do you agree?),
East balances with two diamonds, South doubles, and West passes. What should North do now? First, should North pass over one spade? In the past, that would have been a common choice, but nowadays almost everyone would bid at least two spades, for tactical reasons if no other. Next, let’s analyze South’s double. That is for takeout, showing short diamonds, and promising extra values because North could have nothing. What does South know about North’s hand? That it has fewer than six points. Given that, North’s hand is a maximum. North should jump to three spades. He must show some enthusiasm.
Here, South will raise to four spades and make five, losing one heart and one diamond. If North bids two spades, he might have a 3-3-4-3 or 3-3-3-4 zerocount. Base your bids on what partner already knows about your hand.

BERG Henry Douglas
Pre-Schools KIDS CORNER PRESCHOOL
(Doug) March 20, 1922 August 3, 2012
With sorrow, the family announces the passing of Doug Berg at 90 years of age. Doug was born in Delia Alberta. After serving overseas with the RCAF in WWII he returned in 1946 to reside in Calgary where he met his wife Lillie. They were married for 54 years. During this time he worked for the Calgary Herald in various positions for 34 years. In 1964 they had one son named Alan. There are very fond memories of family vacations with friends in Priest Lake, Idaho and later in central Alberta where he built and maintained a log cabin. In 1992 Doug & Lillie moved to a retirement condo in northwest Calgary where they enjoyed many years of playing cards, pool and Saturday morning coffee parties. Doug was predeceased by his wife Lillie in 2005. Doug moved to Vernon, BC in September 2010 to be closer to family and spend time with his grand daughter Hailey who made him smile and laugh each day. They loved to colour, play and tell stories. Doug leaves many loving memories to be cherished by his son Alan, daughter-in-law Patty and grand daughter Hailey. A Celebration of Doug’s Life will be held Thursday September 6 @ 2:00 pm at Calgary Crematorium at 3219 - 4th Street NW, Calgary, AB. If friends so desire, in lieu of flowers, memorial tributes in Doug’s honour may be made directly to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or the Kidney Foundation of Canada. Special Thanks to the staff at Creekside Landing.
