News Mayor won’t reopen Landing debate RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s mayor insists that the decision over Okanagan Landing firefighters won’t be reversed.

The city’s contract with the Okanagan Landing Firefighters Association will not be renewed and a single command structure from the Vernon hall will proceed. “I’ve not seen any information that indicates the need to reopen the issue,� said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. “As time goes on, I am more convinced that this was the right decision.�

There have been Rob Sawatzky some suggestions that council did not have all of the necessary details before voting and that council should have heard from the Landing firefighters and not just city administration.

Sawatzky disagrees that the Landing volunteers were ignored. “There has been information exchanged for some time,� he said.

Among the reasons presented for scrapping the service contract with the Landing association are having a common training structure for all firefighters and a single command replacing two chiefs. It’s also been suggested that costs can be reduced.

Landing volunteers have been invited to join their counterparts at the Vernon hall. “It’s a comprehensive plan that was well thought out,� said Sawatzky.

RICHARD ROLKE/MORNING STAR

Homemade posters have been placed on the Okanagan Landing fire hall to support the firefighters who are in a dispute with the City of Vernon.

However, Sawatzky isn’t surprised by the debate that has surfaced over the future of the Landing firefighters. “There’s a great deal of emotion and there are some people who want to relive the

issues from 19 years ago (when the Landing was annexed into Vernon),� he said. “Council, though, wants to make the best decision for the community for the times we live in now.�

The decision to end the contract saw Sawatzky and Councillors Brian Quiring, Catherine Lord and Juliette Cunningham in favour, and Councillors Patrick Nicol, Bob Spiers and Mary-Jo O’Keefe opposed.

Armstrong still the place to be RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

There’s still time to take in all of the action.

The gates at the 113th annual Interior Provincial Exhibition don’t close until late tonight and huge crowds will fill the popular Armstrong attraction before then.

“We are expecting good crowds because the weather is looking good,” said Bryan Burns, general manager.

Attendance was 16,320 Wednesday (16,897 in 2011) and 19,105 Thursday (19,026).

Figures for Friday and Saturday were not known by press time but a steady flow of people was projected.

“Friday is generally our third busiest day, with Saturday and Sunday first and second,” said Burns.

Fair-goers have come from across B.C. and Alberta, with residents of the North Okanagan making up the vast majority.

But 28 per cent also comes from the Central Okanagan, and particularly Kelowna, and that’s where much of the IPE’s advance marketing takes place.

“There are a lot of new people moving into the Okanagan and we need to make them aware of the IPE,” said

Burns.

Among the highlights for people has been checking out the livestock, and new this year is an outside area for a sow and her piglets.

“It’s just a great spot to see them up close,” said Burns.

There has also been steady traffic in the midway and at Extreme Wild and loggers’ shows.

The evening rodeo has also been packing people in at the grand-

stand.

“We have the top 32 cowboys in Canada here and Calgary Stampede stock,” said Burns.

A steady menu of entertainment is also available at the food court.

“There’s everything from blues and country to rock and roll,” said Burns, who is urging people to head to the fair today for the first time or a repeat visit.

“There’s so much for people to see and do here.”

Classes ready for students KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff

It’s back to the books Tuesday and students throughout the Vernon School District will be returning to schools that have been cleaned up, polished and upgraded. “Our guys have been very busy all summer,� said district superintendent Bev Rundell. “It’s like a triage unit — once students are out of the classroom, our maintenance staff gets in and begins the work, with our custodial staff doing the clean-up.�

Interior upgrades have taken place throughout the district, including new coats of paint at BX, Okanagan Landing, Kidston and Ellison; roofing at J.W. Inglis, Charles Bloom, Lavington and BX; mechanical upgrades to the fire alarm system at Ellison; flooring at BX, Ellison, Fulton, Harwood, Hillview, Mission Hill, Okanagan Landing, Silver Star and Kidston; exterior painting at Bloom, Inglis and Ellison, and lighting upgrades at Silver Star. “And they’ve done a great job on the parking lot at Okanagan Landing, layered it, paved it and put curbs in,� said Rundell.

And while the new Vernon secondary isn’t quite ready to open its doors, Rundell said it will be worth the wait. “We’ve done a tour and it is gorgeous,� she said. “We’re anticipating a move-in over the Christmas holidays. “Originally we thought we would be ready in September, but there were some issues that pushed it back.

rough year,� said Bader. “On one hand we signed a new agreement; on the other hand, it did not address our No. 1 issue, how big classes can be and how we can combine all of the different kids with all of the different needs into the same classroom.�

Still undecided, said Bader, is whether or not teachers will be volunteering for extra-curricular activities.

Teachers made the decision to suspend their volunteer roles in running school clubs and coaching sports teams during the labour dispute. “Individual teachers will make that decision,� he said. “Extracurricular

activity is about a child’s development, and teachers are the kind of people who love to volunteer and love to work with kids.�

Meanwhile, Bader is heading into the 2012/13 school year with mixed feelings, as it’s the ďŹ rst time in 14 years that he won’t be in the classroom. “I’m having a hard time,â€? said Bader, a Grade 6/7 teacher at Hillview elementary who has taken over the VTA president’s post from Bruce Cummings. “I want to visit with some of my kids — I don’t want to lose contact with that, having worked directly with kids for the last 14 years.â€?

The Shuswap MLA is among the retiring politicians identified by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation for the taxpayer-assisted pension they could receive.

It’s anticipated that the Shuswap Liberals could have a candidate in place by the end of October.

“These are extremely big shoes to fill but we will come up with good people stepping forward,” said Brian Cowan, constituency president, who is confident about the party’s chance in the provincial election.

“We will remain Liberal in our area.”

Cowan supports Abbott’s decision to retire.

“I am sad for the area and the people he served but I am happy for him. It’s good to see he will have time to do the things he wants to do,” said Cowan.

Coldstream reaches deal over rail crossing RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

the shunting area being shortened.

The work in the previous agreement was supposed to be done by Dec. 1, but the municipality decided that changes to the arrangement were required.

“Vehicle traffic (at Kickwillie Road) is reduced so the immediacy for upgrades is reduced,” said Stamhuis.

“They can now upgrade it when they see fit.”

Stamhuis isn’t sure when improvements could occur.

“The site lines from one direction are not great but Transport Canada has not put any immediate pressure on KPR to do the upgrades,” he said.

Opinions gathered on BX park RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Awareness is being generated before any drastic changes occur to a popular Greater Vernon park.

The BX Community Association has been conducting a survey at BX Ranch Park in the hopes that other activities may occur at the site many residents consider strictly the domain of dogs and their owners.

“We want to get it back to a people park,” said Terry Slobodin, an association director.

“It was never intended as just a dog park.”

In fact, the park used to host community celebrations many years ago but as time went on, the only people using the property have been those wanting to exercise their dogs.

“Once it was let go, it slowly became what it is now,” said Emmy Kennedy, with the association.

“People are afraid to come here because they only see dogs.”

Terry Slobodin (left) and Emmy Kennedy, with the BX Community Association, survey people about activities at BX Ranch Park. round of the survey, 162 people filled out a questionnaire. Of those, 156 said they take their dogs to the park while the remainder did not.

Ninety-six stated they were aware that it’s a multi-use park while 65 said they were not.

Virtually all of the respondents want offthe-leash access for dogs and 95 stated they don’t want a smaller, fenced area for dogs.

There was a varying level of support (in order) for washrooms, garbage cans, picnic tables, a playground and an open air shelter.

Ninety-six stated they would attend community events at the park and 55 said they would not.

Slobodin says the association’s goal is to meet the needs of all residents, particularly because there is little

public space in the BX. “We’re not shutting everyone out. We’re trying to accommodate everyone within reason,” she said.

The plans, though, have raised strong emotions for some dog enthusiasts. They worry their pets will come into conflict with people there for a picnic or other activity. It’s also been suggested that non-dog residents have

Happy New Year

H

appy New Year everyone. OK, technically it’s actually the beginning of the ninth month of the year 2012, but I’ve always figured that the day after Labour Day feels more like a new beginning than any Jan. 1 ever did.

Let’s face it. Summer and its accoutrements – holidays, easy living, days at the beach, a definite lack of seriousness about pretty much everything – basically ends this weekend.

I know it’s sad, well mostly, you can read last weekend’s column about some definite positives, but it’s a fact of life and nature and a return to routine begins Tuesday.

All of our young lives this weekend has meant the beginning of a new school Glenn Mitchell year and that cultural reality always makes one think of early September as an exciting time of leaving elementary school and heading for high school, or leaving town and going to college, or even less dramatic but just as important in one’s own lives, saying hello to Grade 11 and all that entails.

And as parents we also know that it’s back to getting the kids off to school, lunches, bus schedules, new clothes, books and the beginning of a semblance of order in our lives that may include actual dinners at the dinner table after a summer of casual dining, and actual bedtimes and alarm clocks and before you know it rushing out the door for hockey practices and meetings and.......

Heavy sigh. And if you happen to be a teacher or involved in education, as my dad was for decades, September obviously is the beginning of a new year.

Mother Nature, with its cooler nights and not-so-damn-hot days has already been telling us it’s soon time to get the firewood, bring in the harvest and secure the homestead for winter’s arrival (these days it means more changing the furnace filter than any real manual labour but hey, you have to go buy the thing, remember the

MITCHELL’S MUSINGS

size, actually take the old one out and put the new one in...)

And of course the television season, and the theatre season and often any group you may belong to that can’t get members to come out in July and August, begins anew come September.

What actually begins Jan. 1 for goodness sake?

Other than calendars of course.

It’s halfway through winter, hockey and curling season and even near the end, not the beginning, of most people’s Christmas holiday season.

Plus it’s cold and snowy and not that nice out in these parts (much worse in most other Canadian cities), so what’s to celebrate?

This time of year in the North Okanagan, and many other Canadian locales, is arguably the most beautiful of all. It’s still warm and sunny but the forest fire threat has eased and the campfire ban is over and if you get the time off and your kids aren’t in school, it’s prime camping time.

I guess one could make a case that we need the celebratory aspect of New Year’s more on a cold, dark Jan. 1 than we do on the usually spectacularly beautiful day after Labour Day, but as I get older it’s actually getting tougher every year to get up for New Year’s Eve parties after all the excitement and planning of Christmas. Yeah, I know how old am I anyway?

You know, speaking of that, I was thinking of advocating for the day after Labour Day to be declared New Year’s Day but maybe after a couple thousand years it might be a tad late to catch on.

Besides, at my advanced age, I’ve got enough lost causes to fight already without taking on another one.

However I think I’ve proved my point sufficiently enough to proclaim that we are all on the precipice of a new beginning in our lives today. I guess you could say that about any day (especially if you happen to be a motivational speaker, but, hey, I’m trying to make a point here).

Call it what you want and even make some resolutions if you wish but I’m ending this diatribe with a Happy New Year to one and all.

Someone cue that Auld Lang Syne music......

Mayor Rob Sawatzky’s opposition to reconsidering the future of the Okanagan Landing Fire Department is expected given that he was one of four to support a single command structure for Vernon.

The decision has been made and reversing thrusters now would likely achieve little.

However, Sawatzky and the rest of the city must understand that the resulting controversy is the direct result of an inadequate process.

Based on the last go-around over the Okanagan Landing fire hall, politicians and bureaucrats should have anticipated the current decision would go over like lead-shot with the Landing volunteers and some residents.

A more proactive approach should have been taken in terms of communicating the city’s objectives.

That should have included the mayor and Vernon fire chief immediately meeting the Landing volunteers face-to-face instead of just firing off a letter.

Perhaps an open and frank discussion right at the beginning would have doused some of the uncertainty and mistrust.

There should have also been a public meeting at Paddlewheel Park Hall so residents could hear first-hand how the new structure will proceed. Yes, the Landing has been part of Vernon for 19 years but there is still a sense of identity and community there and the volunteer fire hall has played a significant role in that.

If the new administrative structure is so solid, there should be no problem defending it in a public venue. Issuing a press release simply isn’t transparent enough. Ultimately, a case can be made for the direction Vernon is taking with firefighting, but the city’s ability to communicate with those affected is certainly lacking.

Council fails to clear the air

T

his is a reply to the article entitled Lumby councillor protests smoking ban.

When I moved to Lumby, I was under the impression that it was supposed to be a progressive community. When a councillor protests a smoking ban to please a small percentage of the population (i.e. smokers who use the grounds), I seriously question the integrity of the council itself.

Mayor Acton stated: "Twenty per cent of the population still smokes and we don't want to be unwelcoming to special events or having the park used."

What about the 80 per cent of the population that doesn't smoke? What about the children using the grounds? What about their right to breathe clean air and to play in an area that is free of cigarette butts?

Our taxes have been allotted to develop recreational facilities to cater to individuals wanting to promote a healthy lifestyle.

SWAN LAKE I would like to respond to Keith MacDonald's letter in The Morning Star.

Firstly, Swan Lake is large enough (three miles long) to support all forms of recreation and to suggest that water skiing interferes with nesting wildlife is simply not correct.

The normal wave action from the boats has been proven, in the past, to not disturb spring nesting waterfowl and, as a matter of fact, the wave action from strong winds can cause greater danger to the nests.

Secondly, I don't agree that water skiers pose as great a danger to other users of the lake as Mr. MacDonald wants us to believe.

All of the operators are safely conscious and are trying to be considerate of other users of the lake.

The calmer water on Swan Lake is an attraction to basically three types of water skiing: slalom skiers, barefoot skiers and wakeboard skiers.

Many of the water skiers on the lake enter competitions, and, in all three disciplines, they need calm, safe water to practice on.

I believe that, on a regular basis, only two barefoot skiers use the lake at all, six or so slalom skiers and two or three boats of wakeboard skiers.

A new facet of wakeboarding, called

These facilities are not developed to cater to individuals who cannot control their urge to smoke.

When considering non-smoking adults who don't want to be around cigarette smoke, Acton goes on to state: "They will have the choice to enter those grounds or not."

wake skating, is where the skier does not use the conventional binding to hold their feet on the ski (they actually ride the ski like a skateboarder rides his skateboard). The feats of completing turns and flips over the wake yet keeping control of their ski, is phenomenal. These skiers are superb athletes and a pleasure to watch.

I do agree, however, that this group produces the highest wake as they need to get a lot of height off the wake to get sufficient air time to complete their maneuvers. Slalom and barefoot ski boats produce the lowest wakes.

In past years, national and world level barefoot skiers from Vernon have used Swan Lake to train on.

The slalom skiers that often use the lake are higher level skiers as well.

We all love this lake and a little respect for each other's sport can go a long way to all of us enjoying the lake for years to come, and not to the exclusivity of one group or another.

Collin Fieguth PESTICIDES What a strange letter to the editor from Mr. Dyck. I say strange because he takes issue with Tom Fletcher's column claiming pesticides are safe,

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Since smokers are part of the minority, shouldn't they be making the choice to attend the grounds (or not)?

I was under the impression that the council was supposed to represent the majority of people's interests.

Moreover, Councillor Hodge seems to

from which I deduce that he presumes them to be unsafe?

OK, I'm sure that Mr. Fletcher does not make that statement without some credible information to support it, just as Mr. Dyck believes he has credible information to the contrary. So I thought I would do some research. I went to the Canadian Cancer Society website and checked their position on the cosmetic use of pesticides. Well, apparently there is a growing body of evidence "suggesting a connection to cancer." A reference to "potentially cancer causing substances" is mentioned, as is "may cause harm." Now, "growing body of evidence" I understand. Every time a new body agrees with what is suggested, the body of evidence increases, not the evidence, but the body. In fact, I couldn't find a direct statement that pesticides did cause cancer, nor was there a reference to studies that might be of some help to confirm the suggestion.

The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment states the leading cause of poisonings in Canada is pesticides. I then wondered if the poisonings might have been unintentional (accidental), or intentional (self-inflicted). Check out the statistics, they are informative. When Googling the "leading

be very concerned that the proposed bylaw would serve to "harass young people," since they would no longer possess an area to light up. Upholding a law that prohibits underage people to smoke is not harassment. I am positive that the majority would agree that it is common sense.

This is not a statement against smokers. It is a statement against the idea that smoking would be allowed in an area where children play, where people exercise and where communal events are held. It is also a statement that opposes the allotment for a specific area for children to smoke.

Allowing people to smoke on recreational grounds will not promote their use.

By doing research in regards to other towns that have implemented bans on smoking in parks and facilities, I am confident that Acton and Hodge will come to their senses.

Kevin Yapps

cause of poisonings in Canada," apparently the leading cause of poisonings is medication (for children),.

Sixty-seven per cent in fact, with a host of common household substances (including pesticides) also contributing. Could the physicians have made an error in their statement, since the medicines they prescribe, and the pesticides they want banned are both under the auspices of Health Canada?

The beef with these organizations is with the governing body of pesticide research and regulating, the PMRA. It seems that the "evidence" that is available is not convincing enough to sway this body. The argument belongs with the regulatory agency, not with those of us who take, "suggest," "potential," "possible," and "may," as factual evidence.

The Morning Star would have me tell you that I am the owner of Supergreen Lawn and Tree Care here in Vernon. I am adding that I have been an applicator for 35 years. I garner no income (or pleasure) from writing this, have 5 healthy children, and 12 grandchildren. I am not in business to harm them or anyone else.

A "nice" looking lawn and garden is subjective. I might be happy with a dust bowl, xeriscaping, weeds,

orchard grass or putting green lawn.

I would not presume to inform anyone that their lawn is as nice as someone else's (unless asked, perhaps).

The Best Just Got Better!

Mr. Brad Marsh, Managing Director of Vernon, is pleased to announce that Brandy DeBartolo has joined the Real Estate Professionals at Vernon.

IPE a family favourite ANDRE LODDER Morning Star Staff

There are some diehard fair fans out there.

The Interior Provincial Exhibition in Armstrong has been buzzing with people since the gates opened on Wednesday and it’s likely to stay that way until they close tonight at 10 p.m.

The fair’s past success has carried through to this year as many returning fair-goers flocked the gates.

“I live here and the girls grew up here and they come every year,” said Sue Klassen.

“We usually put something in but we didn’t this year so we’re just here to enjoy the day.”

Sue Klassen’s daughter Becky Villeneuve came with her family including her son, who couldn’t get onto enough rides.

“It’s been great, he’s had a blast. Strap one of those bracelets on and every ride he can fit into, he’s on it, it’s been a lot of fun,” said Villeneuve, who now lives in Calgary.

It’s not just the returnees who are taking in the fair.

The IPE is leaving lasting impressions on newcomers as well.

“It’s awesome! First time here, we absolute-

“It’s been great, he’s had a blast.”

— Becky Villeneuve ly love it,” said April Bellman.

When asked what their favorite part of the fair was, Bellman and her family, Larry and Dante, couldn’t point to just one solitary thing.

“Everything, from the horses to the rides,

absolutely everything and the people are phenomenal here. It’s laid out really nice, it’s easy to follow,” said April.

Larry agreed, there are no shortages of highlights for families, but the real highlight can be found in the kids themselves.

“The highlight is watching his face and the enjoyment he gets out of it,” said Larry, soon after watching Dante ride a camel at the fair.

There’s something for everyone at the Armstrong fair.

For the families who haven’t had a chance to get to the fairgrounds, but can’t wait until next year’s fair, today’s the last chance to Catch the Buzz at the 113th IPE.

Brandy, her husband and their two children have lived in Vernon for 10 years and just love all it has to offer. She has extensive knowledge of the local neighbourhoods and can help you select the ideal area for your family’s needs. With successful pursuits in Business Banking, Mortgages and Interior Design she has a well-rounded approach to Real Estate. She understands Real Estate, is quite possibly, one of the largest investments her clients will ever make. It’s more than just purchasing a house … it’s creating a home.

Brandy is a member of the Vernon Chamber of Commerce and when she is not working tirelessly for her customers; she enjoys entertaining family and friends with gourmet cooking in her beautiful home. She understands that Real Estate is about knowledge and patience but even more importantly about people and this is where she excels. Brandy is known for her professional expertise, sophisticated resources and dedication to “you” the client.

Seniors and people with disabilities in Lake Country now have better access to affordable housing at Pinewood Villas, a new 10-unit modular housing facility funded by the provincial and federal governments along with community partners.

“This project is a great example of what we strive for,” said Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan.

“All levels of government working together with a wonderful notfor-profit organization to provide quality, affordable and accessible housing for people to live in a safe and friendly community environment.”

Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick said affordable housing for seniors is a priority for the provincial government.

“With the opening of Pinewood Villas, seniors now have increased affordable housing options that are specifically designed for their needs right here in Lake Country.”

The federal and provincial governments contributed about $1.4 million for the construction of seniors’ rental housing apartments.

The Society of HOPE manages and operates the Pinewood building.

“We strongly believe in providing seniors with an array of housing options that are safe and affordable,” said Lorne Gerber, society president.

“Pinewood Villas is a true testament to this.

I would like to thank all partners involved in making this project a reality.”

Pinewood Villas, located at 10274 Bottom Wood Lake Rd., is a seniors’ rental housing development that provides 10 units of affordable modular housing for seniors and people with disabilities.

City of Vernon SILVER STAR ROAD RESURFACING — PLEASANT VALLEY ROAD TO L&A ROAD — BEGINS SEPTEMBER 4 The City of Vernon will be resurfacing Silver Star Road from Pleasant Valley Road to L&A Road beginning September 4, 2012.

The project is expected to take approximately four (4) weeks to complete. During construction there will be single lane traffic with flagging personnel directing traffic. Hours of construction will be 7 AM to 5 PM Monday to Friday.

Although every reasonable effort will be made to minimize the impact of the construction operation, delays will be unavoidable. The City of Vernon is asking for the public’s patience and cooperation during construction to assist with the orderly completion of this project.

Should the public require further details regarding the proposed works, check the City of Vernon Website at: http://www.vernon.ca/index.php/projects or contact the City of Vernon Engineering Department at 250-550-3634.

Volpatti healed up and hungry GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

Maybe it was his one-punch knockdown of San Jose’s Brad Winchester in the preseason. Or perhaps it’s his ability to play responsible hockey, but with enough of an edge to keep the opposition honest.

Either way, Aaron Volpatti showed enough grit with the Vancouver Canucks last year to merit another crack at the lineup after an injury-shortened season.

The rugged left winger underwent season-ending shoulder surgery last December to repair a torn left labrum. Now fully healed, he feels he has something to prove.

The Canucks, winners of back-to-back Presidents’ Trophies, signed the 27-year-old Revelstoke product to a one-year, two-way contract in June. The deal will pay him $600,000 at the NHL level, and $105,000 if he gets shipped to Vancouver’s AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves.

Volpatti was slated to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, but was happy to re-sign with the Canucks. “It was nice to get it over with pretty early, before free agency,� said Volpatti, a fan favourite when he played Junior A with the Vernon Vipers. “I feel like I’ve got something to prove with the injury. I only had a 23-game season so I’m looking forward to getting back and proving myself again.�

Volpatti signed with Vancouver after graduating from the NCAA Brown Bears in 2010, making the team straight out of training camp last year. “I was starting to develop a niche for myself,� said Volpatti, who had a goal and assist to go along with 37 penalty minutes. “I played with that shoulder for a while and it just got to the point where it...wasn’t smart to keep playing with it career-wise. “It’s not the big bumps that bothered it. It was always when I wasn’t expecting something, or those little nudges where I wasn’t ready.�

With a lockout looming, Volpatti, who just got engaged to Claire Danielle, is preparing as if the season will start on schedule. He plans to head to Vancouver in early September in anticipation of Canucks’ main camp. “It (negotiations) seems like there a little ways off still,� he said. “Whether it means a lockout or a delayed start or if they can figure something out in the next few weeks, I’m just preparing as I always would.�

Because Volpatti is on a two-way contract, he would be eligible to play with the Wolves should a full lockout happen. “Obviously you want to see a deal done, but for me, I’m going to be playing, which is important for my shoulder and my own confidence.�

Volpatti says the road to recovery has been an arduous one. After the surgery, he moved back to Vernon so he wouldn’t be a distraction to the — Aaron team, as well as for his own sanity. “It was long. The first six weeks you’re in a sling, not really doing anything,� he said.

GRAEME CORBETT/MORNING STAR

Aaron Volpatti, a forward with the Vancouver Canucks, gets in a training session with his former Junior A team, the Vernon Vipers, last week at Wesbild Centre. Volpatti hopes to return to NHL duty after season-ending shoulder surgery. “I started rehab right after I got out of the sling; pretty light stuff. I saw results quickly – it got better fast, but then it kind of plateaued around 70, 75 per cent, which they said was to be expected.�

Volpatti was back skating (no shooting) around the time Vancouver Volpatti was being knocked out of the Stanley Cup playoffs by the eventual champion Los Angeles Kings.

“I was starting to develop a niche for myself.�

“It was bad timing,� said Volpatti. “The only positive is I know it’s 100 per cent ready to go.�

Volpatti spends his summers in Vernon. He harnessed his inner handyman this offseason, taking on a few bathroom renovation projects at his Coldstream home.

He has also been able to test out his surgically repaired shoulder during his offseason workouts. He recently played in Salmon Arm’s ninth annual Pro-Am Scholarship Game with local pros Jerred Smithson (Panthers), Aaron Gagnon (Jets) and Cody Franson (Maple Leafs).

Aaron Hadley scored top shelf with 12 seconds left as the Vernon Vipers tied the Salmon Arm SilverBacks 2-2 in B.C. Hockey League preseason play Friday night at the Shaw Centre.

The same two teams ended the exhibition season Saturday night at Wesbild Centre.

The Vipers open the regular season Saturday night in Chilliwack against the Royal Bank Cup champion Penticton Vees, at the BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack.

Adam Tambellini had his shot blocked off a draw and Jedd Soleway recovered the puck behind the net and fed Hadley.

Mitch McAllister also scored for the Snakes, who went with Boston product Joe Young the whole way in net.

“Both their goals we put in our own net,” said Viper coach Jason Williamson “(Michael) Statchuk shot one in our net and one went in off a skate so you couldn’t fault our goalie.”

Williamson was going to release one forward Saturday night and was trying to complete a trade for another offensive forward.

The Vipers are allowed to carry 22 players, one more than last season.

In other preseason play Friday night, the Coquitlam Express

derailed the SFU Clan 5-2, the West Kelowna Warriors shaded the Wenatchee Wild 5-4 and the Grande Prairie Storm stopped the Prince George Spruce Kings 4-2.

In action involving

just BCHL teams, the Merritt Centennials doubled the Trail Smoke Eaters 4-2, the Nanaimo Clippers ambushed the Alberni Valley Bulldogs 8-2 and the Powell River Kings and Cowichan Valley Capitals tied 2-2.

t 18, David Broadhurst’s twin brother, Neil, was offered a pro contract with hometown Derby County FC Rams. The brothers played a similar style and Derby only wanted one of them.

Instead of holding a lengthy pity party, David turned his focus to coaching and earned a sports science degree at Manchester Metropolitan University.

He’s been studying and coaching the beautiful game ever since and has just been named the Vancouver Whitecaps’ regional head coach in charge of growing academy centres and camps. He is overseeing the newest Caps’ academy, in Nelson.

“I’ve got good experience that I can offer, not only as a coach, but as a player so the players can relate to that,” said Broadhurst, a tall and skinny 35-year-old with a military haircut.

“From a style of play, we wanna develop possession players, players that are comfortable with the ball and confident on both feet, and technically sound.”

Broadhurst has been working with Whitecaps FC in Vernon for the past three years building both academy and camp programs while also providing services Kevin Mitchell to the North Okanagan Youth Soccer Association (NOYSA).

Vernon’s school academy starts next week.

Whitecaps’ director of youth development Dan Lenarduzzi told The Morning Star he noticed Broadhurt’s leadership and teaching qualities at a Vernon field on a scouting trip a few years ago.

“David is a great on-field coach, but he’s also got a really great character and he gets along well with both boys and girls,” said Lenarduzzi. “Professionalism is there too so he kind of fits the mould of a Whitecaps’ coach and a Whitecaps’ person.”

Still a huge Derby County backer despite another losing season in the English Championship League, Broadhurst realizes most soccer campers in the region have never heard of his team. He will try to change that culture.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Before any type of action is taken, it’s imperative that both you and your cohort are in accord as to how an important issue should be accomplished. Do nothing without agreement.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You’re endowed with exceptionally sharp, critical faculties that are a tremendous asset when used constructively. Sadly, today you aren’t likely to put them to good use.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Be extra careful about how you handle money matters, whether they are your own funds or someone else’s.

Trying to turn too large a profit could be an exercise in futility.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) There is a strong chance you’ll have to adjust your plans to accommodate the demands of others. Even though what they want may be annoying, don’t let it spoil your day.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Fail to be an attentive listener and it will work to your detriment. This could be especially true if someone is giving you complex instructions about something you hope to do later.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Under no circumstances should you yield to peer pressure and do things that fail to serve your best interests. If there are consequences attached, you’ll suffer alone.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your behavior is likely to be scrutinized by others, and they won’t be focusing on what you do right, but

on what you’re doing wrong. Don’t give them fodder.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Anxieties and apprehensions should not be interpreted as intuitive perceptions. Recognize them for what they are: self-induced, negative imaginings.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) It is advisable to avoid a friend who always has all kinds of self-image problems. He or she is in a creative mood and will happily dream some up for you as well.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) In order for a joint endeavor to be successful, you must clearly define beforehand the responsibilities and duties of each party involved. Not doing so will lead to failure.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Attitude is everything, whether you are working or at play. If yours is negative, don’t expect any favorable results for anything you undertake. Thinking like a loser makes you one.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy.

What can I do?

A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder MORE ON OPENER’S BIDDING THREE SUITS Jim Rohn, an entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker who died in 2009, said, “To solve any problem, here are three questions to ask yourself: First, what could I do? Second, what could I read? And third, whom could I ask?”

At the bridge table, ask yourself what you could do. You are not allowed to read a book or ask someone else until afterward.

In today’s deal, though, you can work out the right answer by understanding partner’s sequence.

Look at the North hand.

South opens one diamond, you respond one heart, South rebids one spade, you opt for one no-trump,

and South continues with two hearts. What would you do now?

Your sequence showed 6 to 9 points with four (perhaps five) hearts, fewer than four spades and at least one club stopper. But what has South described?

By bidding a third time, he is saying that game is still possible. He ought to have 16 or 17 points.

And his hand distribution should be 4-3-5-1 (or 4-36-0).

So, two hearts is a 4-3 fit. Those fits are fine when the hand with three trumps has a ruffing value (singleton or void) and the trumps are strong. Here, two hearts will make, but it looks safer to run to the eight-card fit, signing off in three diamonds.

West leads the club king, then continues with the club four. After ruffing, South should play the heart king. In danger of losing trump control, declarer should get a heart winner or two established, happy to lose one trick in each suit. But in this deal, several lines work.

Advance care planning is essential Morning Star Staff

LITTLE DRUG STORE THAT’S

Clark and Majorie Brewer: married Sept. 1, 2012.

British Columbians, especially baby boomers, are urged to take charge of their own healthcare by planning for a time when they can’t make their own decisions.

“Expressing healthcare wishes in advance not only ensures your own wishes will be followed and helps minimize stress and conflict among friends and family, it helps healthcare workers react more quickly and efficiently in an emergency or critical situation,” said John Eastwood, president of the Society of Notaries Public of B.C. and a South Delta Notary.

A November 2010 B.C.-wide survey conducted by Mustel Group for B.C. Notaries found that 68 per cent of British Columbians do not have a Representation Agreement, an important tool that designates someone to make decisions on your behalf if you can’t speak for yourself.

“No one wants to end up in a situation where critical life decisions are made by a stranger but, as Notaries, we see this all too often,” said Laurie Salvador, a Notary in Sidney. “People put off advance care planning and the result can be unnecessary

trauma for families and friends who are faced with decisions they’re not equipped to make and unwelcome and too-often futile healthcare measures for the patient.”

While ensuring one’s preferences are known and respected is and should be the primary motivator for advance care planning, it has social benefits as well.

Healthcare budgets are escalating and healthcare providers are often overworked and under-staffed. With baby boomers approaching a stage in life when they are more likely to need care, the squeeze on resources will inevitably increase.

“Advanced care planning is a cost effective measure that we can take to ease our own hearts and minds and at the same time relieve growing pressure on our healthcare system. Healthcare workers are often scrambling for information when we first enter a healthcare facility. Advance care plans say what we want in terms of healthcare decisions and who we want to make those decisions; eliminating the need for unnecessary and often unwanted and costly steps,” said Salvador.

Advance care planning is the process of

considering and documenting your healthcare preferences. A plan should include: a discussion with those likely to be there when your need arises (family, caregiver, physician, close friends); a statement of expressed wishes for future health care will assist your decision maker in making plans or knowing what to do for end-of-life decisions in case you cannot express yourself at the time; a Representation Agreement; a Power of Attorney; a will; an Advance Directive if you have decided not to rely on others to make decisions for you.

B.C. Notaries are professionally trained and have extensive experience in helping clients develop advance care plans and recommend the following approach: inform yourself about options; decide how decisions will be made if you can’t make them; have a conversation with your physician so you understand how certain key decisions could affect you, considering your personal health conditions; have another conversation with those family members who you want to be involved in your future care planning. Or ask a close friend if they will fill this role for you and make a Representation Agreement.

Telus prepares students for school Morning Star Staff

Kids heading back to school have received a helping hand.

“Each parent wants their child to have everything they need to start the school year on the right foot,” said Al Tiller, Okanagan Telus Community Ambassadors president.

“Unfortunately, several of them are unable to do so due to financial hardships.

Programs such as Telus’ Kits for Kids are incredibly important for families in need.”

The backpacks are

Morning Star Staff

When Tasha Chance and Carson Holtz were told as children that they had FASD (fetal alcohol spectrum disorder), they didn’t know what it meant.

What they did know was that they seemed to have more difficulty and need more help to do many things that most other children did and they often felt lonely and misunderstood.

What is known is that FASD is caused only by women drinking alcohol at any stage of pregnancy and that it is an invisible, permanent, brain-based physical disability which changes the brain function of those affected. These changes show up differently in each individual and can result in challenges in thinking processes, responses to stimuli, memory problems, and a wide variation between developmental and chronological age. “I felt other people didn’t understand. I had few friends at school and I related to adults better,� said Chance, 19. “People don’t understand that because I have FASD I can’t do things. I was told that I would never learn to read and write but my foster mother taught me when I was 13. I like to read and I write poetry and stories and I graduated from high school.�

Holtz, 32, said he also had difficulty making friends as a child but now he is outgoing and has lots of friends. “I’m a people person and I like to help people as much as I can. I speak at my church and I would like to have a chance to tell people more about what it is like to have FASD. I would like to have a group for people with FASD so we could discuss ways we could help ourselves and each other,� he said.

He also writes poetry and plays the guitar, and Chance plays guitar and sings. He lives on his own and Chance lives in a home share. Both have support from Community Living British Columbia as needed. “The strength I see in both Carson and Tasha is that they are strong self-advocates. They find ways to make things happen for themselves and they realize that they need help with some things,� said Tamina De Montezuma, facilitator/ Personalized Supports Initiative, Community Planning and Development, Community Living British Columbia.

Both Holtz and Chance say that they do not blame their birth mothers because they did not understand that drinking during pregnancy would harm their babies. And both want to do everything they can to make people aware of the risks of drinking while pregnant or planning to become pregnant. “FASD is completely avoidable if you do not drink while pregnant,� said Holtz.

Chance added that while it is not certain that drug use during pregnancy also causes brain disability, she thinks it could and it is better not to use drugs while pregnant. “I think it is important to let people know that you have FASD and that you need more patience and time and might do things differently but don’t let it stop you doing things. I used to lean on that, that I couldn’t do things as an excuse, but I can do things, I just need encouragement and support,� she said. “Because FASD is not visible, sometimes people don’t

CARA BRADY/MORNING STAR

Tasha Chance (left) and Carson Holtz talk about living with FASD (fetal alcohol spectrum disorder) at a community event Sept. 9. know that you are disabled and think you are just annoying.�

Both felt they were well supported while growing up and that they continue to get what they need to do their best.

They are well aware that many people with FASD are at risk for homelessness or trouble with the legal system because they are not properly diagnosed and do not receive the help they need. “I do landscaping part time and volunteer at CMHA and at my church. I like to be busy and I am at peace in my church,� said Holtz.

“...if the support is there, it is very possible to succeed in life.� — Tasha Chance A common problem for people with FASD is impulse control. “I have really bad impulses. I spend and spend without thinking about the consequence. That gets me in trouble sometimes. I know I have to be really careful with money,� said Chance, who works part time at a restaurant. “I do find I can control my behaviour if I am patient with myself and take the time to try to figure out ways I can handle things better. I have read a lot about it. I do art and

talk to people. Writing helps me express my feelings and I have had some of my poetry published. I like swimming to stay active.�

Holtz said, “When I have an impulse, I act and it gets me in trouble sometimes but I work at it. I write poetry, too. And I do free-style rap at the Talk’n Donkey and some things at The Hub. I play hockey. I like to stay active and not get bored.�

Chance and Holtz will be speaking about living with FASD at FASD Day in Polson Park Sept. 9. “What I want to say is that no one should drink when they are pregnant. And for people who have FASD that you have to work 10 times harder but things are achievable.

Don’t give up. Be strong. You can’t take life for granted.

Appreciate life every day.�

Chance’s message is, “These labels are put on you that you can’t do things but if the support is there, it is very possible to succeed in life.�

Everyone is invited to the family-oriented FASD Day activities in Polson Park Sept. 9, starting with a short awareness walk at noon. This will be followed by music from The Shags and Kat, and The Valentines, with lunch and speakers and more music. “We want people to know that drinking alcohol while pregnant can lead to FASD in the child. It is 100 per cent preventable. It’s a choice,� said De Montezuma.

For more information on support for people with FASD see www.communitylivingbc.ca.

1912 visit to Canada of one of the three central figures of the Bahá’í Faith, an open house will be held Sept. 8 at the Vernon library, featuring displays, videos, refreshments and a short presentation in the evening.

Bahá’ís all across the continent are celebrating the 239 days that Abdu’l Bahá spent in North America. Giving talks, both formal and informal, everywhere he stayed, he traveled by train from New York to California and back.

Abdu’l Bahá arrived in

Montreal, Aug. 30, 1912, and left Sept. 9. His visit stirred up a lot of interest, garnering 35 articles in 11 different newspapers. Large crowds gathered to hear him speak on topics that included wide ranging subjects such as the oneness of religion, the importance of eliminating prejudice, the principles for establishing world peace, and the harmony of science and religion.

Montreal was the first Canadian Bahá’í community to be established in 1902. Vernon is the second oldest Bahá’í

community in British Columbia, (the first was in Vancouver) established in 1948 and incorporated in 1958. There are now more than five million Bahá’is world wide and about 30,000 in Canada.

Although many special events are being held, the most important focus has been the dedication of individual Bahá’ís to remembering and recommitting themselves to the values and ideals that Abdu’l Bahá demonstrated throughout his life: a life devoted to service and action.

“That is what we are

doing,” says Eva Strom, a local Bahá’í, “focusing on Abdu’l Bahá’s service, a ‘servant of humanity.’

He helped the poor, the sick, the downtrodden, providing love, care and comfort to all, and sharing his wisdom wherever he went.”

The open house runs Sept. 8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the library meeting room, with the presentation in the evening at 7 p.m.

The new Vernon library is at 2800 – 30th Ave. For more information, please contact Strom at 778-475-3009.

celebrate for the Vernon Lawn Bowling Club.

The year began by having the club recognized as the Top Club in the Interior for 2011.

One reason for this honour, besides annually hosting the Funtastic weekend, was the club’s 24-hour Bowlathon which has raised more than $7,000 for United Way in the past two years.

This year’s Bowlathon event will take place on the weekend of Sept. 23 and 24, when organizer Dawn Perkins is confident that bowlers will raise a good deal more for charity.

The club’s evening bowling membership drive brought in new members ranging in age from 10 to 75. Those wishing to join bowlers on Tuesday or Thursday evenings are still welcome to try their hands at the sport. The first three visits, including instruction, are free.

Now that summer temperatures have fallen, morning bowling will revert to the after-

Society unveils curtain on exciting season KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff

From the beauty that is Swan Lake to the historical tragedy that was the Titanic, the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre Society has a season that will likely swim than sink.

The excitement starts with the centre’s 11th birthday bash, featuring a performance

by Woody Holler and his Orchestra, Oct. 6.

A classically trained tenor, Holler is also a decorated yodelling champion who plays mostly country-folk, or “jazz from the saddle,” as he calls it, said Brian van Wensem, the centre’s audience development coordinator.

Holler isn’t the only musician the society is presenting this year. David Myles, a folk-jazz singer-songwriter heard on Stuart McLean’s Vinyl Café, takes the stage Nov. 15.

“We haven’t had a lot of music at the centre lately, so we are responding by bringing more music in,” said van Wensem. “Our mandate is to bring acts that wouldn’t normally come here.”

As in the past, that mandate usually applies to the society’s dance season. The centre is one of the few smaller city theatres that offers a full season of dance performance, and this year is no different.

The pièce de resistance is a full company production of Tchaikovsky’s beloved ballet Swan Lake, presented by Ballet Jörgen Feb. 2.

“It has the dance people vibrating,” said van Wensem.

Another famed Canadian ballet company, Les Ballets Jazz de Montreal, performs Nov. 20 with contemporary pieces by three prolific choreographers.

“They are a phenomenal group who have been here before and will be bringing a full company of 12 dancers,” said van Wensem.

The Okanagan’s own Ballet Kelowna, led by artistic director David LaHay, also returns with Double Variations March 2.

“I don’t know a lot about dance but with Ballet Kelowna, I understand what I see because of David LaHay,” said van Wensem.

“They will be bringing an appy platter; a little bit of this and a little bit of that.”

For those who are looking for something a little more “out there,” this year’s Made in B.C. presentation, Out Innerspace’s Vessel, April 13, will offer just that with its highly physical and visually impressive contemporary dance.

The dance season opens with something more traditional when the Vancouver Tap Ensemble and Tapco presents It’s About Time Oct. 20.

“They will have both professional and student tap dancers. There will be a huge num-

This year’s theatre season offers up something for everyone, and opens with a farewell performance of the huge hit The Number 14 Oct. 13.

Produced by Vancouver’s Axis Theatre and starring most of the original crew and cast, the wildly popular play, set on an urban bus as it travels through the social strata of a large city, is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a national tour in the fall. This is its fourth presentation in Vernon.

“Every time it has played here it has sold out,” said van Wensem. “They are saying this is the very last tour of the show, so we expect another full house.”

The fall also sees the arrival of that doomed ocean liner, and the return of Windwood Theatricals out of New York City, Oct. 27.

The company, which has previously presented Cabaret, Bye Bye Birdie, and Barry Manilow’s Copacabana in Vernon, cancelled its North American tour last year, but is back with the huge Tony award winning musical about the ship that would never land.

“They are touring with 33 actors, four musicians, and a large crew,” said van Wensem.

“The musical has nothing to do with the movie and is basically telling what happened on the ship from four different perspectives.”

Musical lovers will also be enthralled with a new tribute, following in the same vein as A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline and The Buddy Holly Story, with Unforgettable: The Music of Nat King Cole, Nov. 17.

“This one is different. While Buddy and Patsy were plays with music, Nat is music with a little story,” said van Wensem. “Don Stewart (who plays Cole) is supposed to be amazing. It’s Nat King Cole performed live.

How can you go wrong?”

Seen at Caravan Farm Theatre this summer as the police deputy Bull Withers in The Notorious Right Robert and His Robber Bride, Toronto actor Bruce Horak is returning to the area with his one-man production This is Cancer, Jan. 26.

Diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma (cancer of the retina) when he was a baby, Horak is legally blind and delivers this frank,

at times polarizing, and very funny personification of cancer in all its ugly truths.

The show, which has been a hit on the Fringe Festival circuit, pulls many punches and is not for those sensitive to strong language or mature subject matter, said van Wensem.

More familiar faces will be appearing in the Western Canada Theatre co-production of Kevin Loring’s Where the Blood Mixes.

Lorne Cardinal, who played the lovable police sergeant on TV show Corner Gas, and Craig Lauzon, of Royal Canadian Air Farce fame, are two of the stars of the Governor General Award winning play, coming to the centre March 5.

“It’s a brutally honest and irreverently funny story of loss and redemption from residential school survivors,” said van Wensem.

This season’s kids’ series also has everything a family could ask for, starting with Story Theatre Company’s take on the well known story of Aladdin, Nov. 4.

“This has nothing to with the Disney story. It’s based on the original take about a father and son’s journey,” said van Wensem.

Monster Theatre, which has previously won over young audiences with Mini Masterpieces and The Shakespeare Show, is returning with another classic, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, Dec. 9.

Families don’t need to have an understanding of French to watch Quebec company Bouge de là’s The Studio (L’Atelier) March 10.

The show does not have much spoken word, and instead features four dancers on stage.

“It is set in an artist’s studio where image capture is used. It’s projected on stage as art and movement. It should be visually strong. I think the kids will love it,” said van Wensem.

Kids can also sing along when Juno award winning musician and children’s entertainer Norman Foote visits the centre April 14.

Another family oriented show being presented as a special presentation is Cirque Ziva, featuring China’s Golden Dragon Acrobats, Jan. 13.

“It’s new territory for us. We are featuring adult pricing as well as kids pricing for this show that starts at 7 p.m.,” said van Wensem.

“The production quality on this is huge. It’ll make a good Christmas gift as the show is in January.”

And those into spoken word can check out the Travellin’ Slam Poetry show, as three award winning slam poets, including Canadian slam poetry champion Brendan McLeod, battle it out for top honours in this student-judged event, being offered as a special presentation Feb. 15.

MARCIA BELEY The most serious of all female cancers is ovarian cancer.

Over 2600 Canadian women are diagnosed every year and 1750 succumb to this disease.

There is no screening test to detect this cancer but when found early and treated, the survival rate is 90%.

If you have any abdominal symptoms that last for more than three weeks, see your doctor.

Many people tend to take vaccines for granted but they do save lives. The number of children saved from dying of measles during the past decade was over 9,500,000 worldwide. This represents a 74% drop in measles deaths.

Probiotics are “friendly” bacteria found in food products like yogurt and also available in capsules. Diarrhea is a side effect of many regular antibiotics. By taking probiotic supplements during antibiotic therapy, diarrhea can often be prevented. It is best to take the probiotic dose 2-4 hours after the antibiotic dose.

Head lice often becomes at problem in children at this time of year. Some of the older lice treatments are not as effective anymore. Nyda is a spray solution that can be used in children over the age of two and is effective against the lice as well as eliminating the nits (eggs). Our pharmacists can advise you about this product.

More than 1,250 handdrawn and full colour animated images will be projected on a two-storey-high screen.

“It’s based out of Texas and was featured on Conan O’Brien’s show,” said van Wensem.

And don’t forget the perennial hit, which returns on International Women’s Day March 8, the ninth annual I am Woman: Hear me Laff.

This year’s all-female stand-up comedy showcase, served up by the Laff Riot Girls, will be headlined by the always entertaining and very funny Elvira Kurt.

Hope Springs offers sexual healing

with award winning

Hope Springs

A

rnold (Tommy Lee Jones) and Kay (Meryl Streep) have been married 31

years.

Arnold is a bit of a curmudgeon and Kay is a bit of a wallflower, but their lives tick hapTaylor & Howe pily along, not unlike many experienced couples.

However, with their kids grown and out of the home, Kay and Arnold are left with only each other’s company (excusing cable TV), and something important is lacking in their relationship: sex.

Kay decides they need couple’s therapy and Arnold reluctantly agrees to go to the tiny seaside town of Hope Springs, Maine to attend an intensive week-long counseling session with Dr. Feld (Steve Carell).

Can they return some intimacy to their relationship? Will their marriage even last the sessions?

We say, “It made both of us feel like we could be (slightly) better husbands.”

HOWE: Hope Springs is a very good movie, it feels realistic and the acting is top notch, but then again what would you expect from this fantastic cast?

TAYLOR: There were very few men in the cinema for this show, but it’s equally entertaining to both sexes. This is not a romantic comedy; it’s not exactly about love and it’s not mushy.

In fact, it is quite clinical and even demonstrative. I wondered, for instance, why this picture was rated PG. Children have no business seeing this movie.

Fun for everyone New families welcome!

This fall marks the launch of a new endeavor at Okanagan College with the opening of The Bunker, a letterpress print shop with more than 20,000 pounds of vintage printing presses and metal type.

Located in the basement of the college’s Kalamalka (Vernon) campus, the shop comes after three years of planning, renovations, equipment installation and set-up.

BARRY WETCHER/ GHS PRODUCTIONS

Kay Soames (Meryl Streep) gets some ideas to improve her sex life in Hope Springs.

Husbands and wives should go.

HOWE: I get what you’re saying. When you watch the trailer and it shows all the funnies, it looks like you could take the kids to watch this. But be warned, if you do, you’d better be ready for their questions: “Mommy, what is that lady doing?” or “Daddy, why is she moaning, is she hurt?” I feel Hope Springs will appeal more to the mature audience, as it touches on some squirm factor issues that some young adults can’t relate to just yet.

TAYLOR: It’s a smart movie about the psychology of longterm relationships, biological desires and how little things turn big when you add time.

The talking cure is often uncomfortable for its patrons, which was brought up in the film by Arnold the grump. No one can fix their problems by skirting the issues. You have to name it

to claim it, and claim it to take away its power. Thus, Arnold has to bring up his personal feelings despite not wanting to and this creates the drama in the film.

However, there are plenty of light moments, plenty of laughs.

HOWE: Yeah, I did laugh a few times. I also felt for them and that’s credit to the actors and also to the director, David Frankel, who has given us other good movies like The Devil Wears Prada and The Big Year. (By the way, this is a very good, little-known movie starring Jack Black, Owen Wilson and Steve Martin.)

TAYLOR: I think Hope Springs will also be coming to the Towne Theatre, so if you miss it at the Galaxy, check it out downtown.

–– Howe gives Hope Springs 3 corgis out of 5.

–– Taylor gives it 3.5 Viagras out of 5.

The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

but also including a small gathering of newer types to be put to use on Kalamalka Press books.”

In conjunction with the launch of the print shop, Okanagan College’s literary publishing imprint, Kalamalka Press, has been restructured and revamped, with forthcoming titles to be printed by students in the shop.

Kalamalka Press’ new editor is Okanagan College professor and author Kevin McPherson Eckhoff, while Dewinetz will be heading up design and production.

The first book from the new Kalamalka Press will be the winning manuscript of the inaugural John Lent Poetry/Prose Award, Ariel Gordon’s How to Make a Collage.

Over the course of the 2012-13 academic year, students will set the type for the book by hand, proof and correct the type, print the sheets and bind the books as part of their writing and publishing studies.

This intricate manual work, which introduces students to a wide range of production processes, is offered as a complement to the computerbased training that students receive throughout the diploma program, which includes classes in writing, editing, communications, typography and design.

The print shop will be launched as part of orientation day at Okanagan College’s Kalamalka Campus on Tuesday from 2 to 4 p.m., with a printing demonstration and display.

New driver behind Vernon VW wheel GRAEME CORBETT Business Editor

Cole Swendseid is quickly discovering similarities between Volkswagens and the people who drive them.

As the new co-owner and general manager of the Vernon Volkswagen dealership (formerly Royal Volkswagen) on the auto mile, Swendseid has noticed an up-front, no-frills approach from both the German auto manufacturer and the consumer alike.

“The Volkswagen customer is well-educated so you just got to be in tune,” said Swendseid, who purchased the franchise with his brother, Scott, from former owner Terry Lowe.

“You can’t go in there and buffalo them or anything like that. If you rub them the wrong way, you’re done.

He says the Volkswagen brand follows much the same no-nonsense approach.

“It’s ‘here’s what you’re getting, this is what’s expected and if it isn’t in there let us know and we’ll fix it for you.’”

Swendseid, a 37-year-old father of three, moved with his family to the Okanagan from Drayton Valley, Alta. where he co-owns the Stetson GM dealership with Scott.

“I grew up in Westbank as a little gaffer so I know the area and wanted to give my family the same lifestyle I had as a kid,” said Swendseid.

GRAEME CORBETT/MORNING STAR

Cole Swendseid is the new general manager and co-owner of Vernon Volkswagen.

“I was looking for a franchise that suited our needs and this Volkswagen dealership

came up. It’s a smaller community and that’s exactly what I know. I know how it works

and operates.”

Swendseid is fully aware that with the economy continuing to struggle, new car dealers are having to compete more than ever to earn patronage. In addition to better pricing and incentives, he says one way of attracting new business (and retaining current clientele) is to offer stellar customer service.

Since he took over June. 1, Swendseid has increased staff levels from 12 to 19, including a second technician to help deal with servicing and repairs. The dealership is also offering a courtesy car service for added customer convenience.

Regarding Volkswagens themselves, Swendseid says there is increased value throughout the lineup. He points to the Jetta, which has been given a better price point to make it more competitive with other class models. And as always, VW boasts its ultraefficient diesel engines that are capable of 1,500 kilometres on a single tank of fuel.

As a founding member of the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s Drayton Valley Thunder, Swendseid is a believer in community involvement. Once established, he plans to continue that trend in Vernon.

“We’re going to be small sponsorship right now... but once I get established I will see what areas of the community I want to invest money into.”

UBC Okanagan hires Sugden to head faculty Morning Star Staff

Professor Roger Sugden has been appointed dean of the faculty of management at UBC’s Okanagan campus.

Sugden, who brings extensive international experience in business education and global economics to the position, will begin a five-year term starting in October.

He comes to UBC from service as professor of socioeconomic development and founding head of the management school at the University of Stirling in Scotland. He has led numerous prominent initiatives for the European Commission and British Council.

Deborah Buszard, deputy vice chancellor, says Sugden’s appointment is a significant step for the Okanagan Roger Sugden campus.

“We are delighted to have such an accomplished academic as Roger Sugden to teach and lead our students and faculty,” says Buszard. “In today’s age of globalization and business without boundaries, the Okanagan will benefit greatly from his experience.”

UBC’s Wesley Pue says the search for a suitable candidate

to lead the faculty of management spanned the globe.

“Dr. Sugden is committed to engaging locally, while strengthening our global connections, deepening UBC’s relationships with business and ensuring that our students benefit from a top-quality education and outstanding university experience,” said Pue. “He brings with him a record of tremendous scholarly accomplishment, significant leadership contributions at leading universities – and a unique intellectual imagination.”

Sugden earned PhD and master’s degrees in economics from Warwick University as well as a law degree from Sheffield University. He was founding head of the management school and head of internationalization for Stirling University, ranked first in Scotland and eighth in the U.K. amongst world universities under 50 years old, according to The Times.

Prior to this, Sugden served twice as head of the department of commerce at the University of Birmingham, the oldest and one of the most respected business schools in England. During this time, Sugden served as director of inter-related research centres and led the school’s industrial and labour economics group to a five ranking in the U.K.’s

research assessment exercise.

Sugden has also delivered research seminars in many countries, including Argentina, Chile, China, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Italy, Nicaragua, Spain and the U.S. His research has focused on economic organization and development, globalization, and on public initiatives stimulating socioeconomic democracy. Sugden has written five books, edited a dozen more and has nearly 50 principal publications in leading academic journals.

Sugden eagerly anticipates taking the helm of the faculty of management.

“The combination of UBC’s reputation as among the best in the world, its strong values and the special characteristics of the Okanagan campus offer a tremendous opportunity to develop an internationally unique faculty,” said Sugden.

“I look forward to contributing to that development, and fostering the teaching and research expertise upon which it depends.

“We will engage with communities in the Okanagan and beyond, and build on the tradition of providing our students with an education that is among the best in the world.”

Waddy’s serves up final dish Morning Star Staff

After being in business for 38 years, Ken Wadsworth and sons will be closing the doors to Waddy's Family Restaurant today.

Last week, the Wadsworth family gathered under the Waddy Man statue to say goodbye and thank you for a business that has employed many family members since 1974. The Wadsworths have received messages of gratitude for the good meals and memories at the restaurant.

Ken Sr. and his wife Ruth (deceased in 2008), started the restaurant as a Smitty's franchise in

1974. In 1984, they turned it into the Waddy's Family Restaurant.

Their four sons – Dave, Rick, Jeff and Mark – plus a number of grandchildren have worked in the restaurant, doing everything from cooking to waitressing to bussing dishes.

The family are appreciative of the other longstanding staff members.

The sons took over the restaurant when Ken built Hillview Golf course with partner Jim Atmore in 1986. Ken worked at that business until 2003 when he sold his stake to the Atmores.

The LiveSmart B.C. Business Energy Advisor program has officially launched its second round of free energy assessments with even more opportunities for businesses in the Thompson Okanagan.

Funding for the program, which includes cash rebates and incentives from both Fortis B.C. and B.C. Hydro, has officially been extended until March 31, 2013.

This time around, 200 small businesses and 150 restaurants will be eligible to receive a free energy assessment delivered by a LiveSmart B.C. qualified business energy advisor. The advisor’s roles is to help identify areas where businesses can save energy such as lighting, heating, cooling and hot water heating.

On average, businesses that received energy assessments last year had the potential annual savings of $1,000, and could access $1,300 in rebates, with an estimated payback period of 2.5 years and savings of 10,224 kWh in electricity.

The free energy assessments provide a baseline for small businesses to understand how they fare in terms of energy efficiency, and then connect business owners with opportunities for rebates, energy efficient technology and cost savings.

Recommendations from the assessments have been widely accepted with more than 100 of the 300 original participants taking the next step by implementing energy-saving initiatives in their workplaces.

Funded through the LiveSmart program, business energy advisors from Kelowna-based GreenStep Sustainability Coaching have been contracted by the B.C. Restaurant and Food Services Association, the Canadian Restaurant and Food Services Association and Kelowna Chamber of

Commerce. GreenStep’s business energy advisors identify opportunities for energy reductions through energy assessments, help small businesses apply for incentives to fund these opportunities, and connect them with contractors to complete the upgrades.

The LiveSmart B.C. program is targeted to reach more than 4,000 participants over three years. The program is forecasted to save 82.5 GWh of electricity and 39,500 GJ of natural gas, enough energy to power 9,347 homes for a year; or more than $7 million in utility costs each year once complete.

The program is provided at no cost to participating small businesses. Businesses can call GreenStep at 250-862-8941, or visit www.livesmartbc.ca/incentives/small-business/, to book an assessment.

Passengers on a tour boat get up close and personal with a pod of killer whales, or orcas, in the Pacific Ocean near Victoria.

Getting a bird’s eye view JANE CASSIE Special To The Morning Star

B.C. - Swanky yachts and regal schooners skim the sun-glinted waves below.

They unite with ocean-going kayaks, speedy dragon boats and other pleasure vessels that share their hulls with the seaside.

Framed by a rugged coastline and backed by powdered peaks, it’s a setting that’s picturesque to a fault and truly epitomizes the axiom, Super Natural B.C. Although there are plenty of ways to check out Victoria’s scenic sites, during this visit with my daughter we enjoy a couple of the more adventuresome options, and this one comes with a bird’s eye view.

After briefly surfing the Pacific, our DeHavilland Beaver rises to this occasion and over the next thirty minutes we share the sunny skies with soaring eagles.

Cooper Air’s aviator, Mick, doubles as an informative guide and while navigating the seaplane he provides a running commentary of the attractions below.

“The promenade is a great place to check out the activities,” he explains as we pass over the bustling hub. Although briefly interrupted by Johnson Street Bridge the walkway encircles the inner harbour where the colourful past integrates delightfully with the present.

Streets are dressed with bouquets and Kabuki Kabs, Cinderella horse-drawn carriages, and double-decker buses whisk time-rich vacationers to internationally acclaimed tourist attractions.

From our panoramic viewpoint we can visually trace the pedestrian causeway that leads to our temporary home away from home, the Laurel Point Inn. Our flight veers to the west and Mick shares historical tidbits along the way.

“Fisguard is the oldest lighthouse on the West Coast,” he informs, while flying over Fort Rodd Hill National Historic Park.

Although only accessible only from the sea during its prime time, we can see that Ocean Boulevard now winds its way around to this once vigilant beacon.

Clusters of verdant evergreens border shimmering lakes, and a few minutes to the north, the Edwardian-style Butchart Gardens comes into view.

JANE CASSIE PHOTO

A float plane is ready to take off and provide a panoramic view of the Victoria area.

We putter over patchwork farmlands, grey winding highways, and golf greens speckled with undulating plateaus. The highlight for my daughter is when we hover over the University of Victoria, and visit from above, not on foot as she did a few years ago. “There aren’t too many students who get to see their campus from this vantage point,” Mick chuckles, “and as you can see, it’s just a quick jaunt to the beach whenever the students need a break.”

The strand of rocky shoreline is dotted with posh homes and washed continuously by gentle waves. Trillions of sparkles reflect off the sapphire waters and while buzzing closer to sea level we spot shimmering shadows, reminding us of the marine life that thrives just beneath.

In my mind’s eye, I retrace the previous day’s activity when Cuda Marine Adventures provided a similar encounter, but from an entirely different viewpoint.

Our covered vessel had plied effortlessly along this same coastal waterway and, although shielded from head winds and ocean spray, we enjoyed marine life sightings through surrounding windows.

Frolicking porpoises played leapfrog as they rode in our wake, and teary-eyed

seals joined stoic cormorants on the craggy Great Chain Island.

During our three-hour cruise we were privy to a line up of first-rate performances and, with microbiology major Dave at the helm, we received the inside scoop on them all.

The height of excitement came when the first signature dorsal fin sliced through the sapphire surface.

The majestic killer whales were like friends to our guide, but for us, their titles didn’t matter. It was their splendour that tweaked our curiosity and activated our zoom lenses – the way a mother and calf arched in unison over the water’s surface, then dipped beneath, like partially submerged water balloons – naturally spectacular!

I shake myself out of the daydream just in time to get one last overview before our seaplane gently splashes down.

Though our stay in Victoria is just about over, the little white aqua bus that transports us to the other side of the harbour reminds me that there is one last adventure in store – the scenic B.C. ferry ride that will take us back home.

Be price sensitive

W

e continue to have a high number of listings on our marketplace.

This presents stiff competition for you, if you are a seller.

Certain price ranges are more difficult than others. I notice we have a large inventory in the $400,000 to $550,000 range in particular.

This kind of market is tough for sellers, but quite wonderful for buyers.

In my day to day practice I regularly observe that each property’s price has a trigger point.

I will explain this further. I see that today’s buyers are almost always only inspired to pursue a property if they can see solid value at the asking price.

Repeatedly I see even small price reductions create more interest from buyers.

It is accurate to say that reducing the price to be very close to the current market value is what creates more showings and offers.

Alternately, if a seller keeps a higher price on their property and instructs their realtor to “bring an offer” the seller sees little or no activity on their listing.

I also believe the

way in which today’s buyers look for properties has a big influence.

Buyers get on various real estate websites, particularly www.realtor.ca and they punch in their various search parameters.

They usually key in the area they want to be in, number of bedrooms and of course their preferred price range.

As soon as they choose that Jane Field price range they are eliminating viewing properties priced in the next higher price category.

A seller asking even one price range too high can just get passed by.

Hence, the increased importance of an asking price close to current market value.

The definition of current market value is more or less as follows.

CMV is the price buyers have been paying for similar properties which have been exposed to the marketplace for a reasonable length of time.

We have been enjoying the presence of a fair number of buyers this spring and summer.

So, a seller does indeed have a reasonable opportunity to

get their property sold.

However, as the market remains so competitive, it is critical that the list price be the “right” price.

If your property is currently listed for sale, it is a good practice to review your asking price with your realtor every month or so just

to be sure your price is positioned correctly.

That way you are less likely to see your competitors get sold instead of yourself.

ter understand how their expertise can provide consumers with optimal vision.

Until now, licensed opticians have been the hidden health care providers. It is time for the public to get to know them and the importance of their skills to Canadians.

“Until now, I didn’t realize that it took that much education and training in order to become qualified as an optician,” said Casper Chan, who’s been helped by opticians for the past 20 years.

It seems the public has not seen what Chan now sees, as some consumers are only looking at fashion and overlooking vision care as healthcare – a choice that can have serious long-term effects.

“I think society regards vision care -and eyewear – more as fashion than a health care necessity that helps them see,” said Sandra Blanchette, chair of the Opticians of Manitoba.

“We’re in the front line of vision care – both in fashion and health care.”

As well as running his own electrical company, Ron was actively involved in the Vernon Jazz Club and ran the Vernon Table Tennis Club from its inception until his passing.

It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we announce the passing of Tom on August 28th, 2012 at Vernon Hospice House.

His cherished memories live on through his faithful loving wife Irene of 26 years, his children Danielle (Doug), Shawn, Grant (Sandi), Laura (Ross), Tera, Eleven grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, brother Don (Cecile), sister Patricia (Gary), special nephew Joe Wenisch as well as numerous nieces, nephews and lifelong friends.

Tom was born in Inverness, Scotland and arrived in Canada in 1943. Raised in B.C., Tom joined the army in 1959 in Vancouver, B.C. He served with the 1st and 2nd Battalions, PPCL1 and retired as a Warrant Officer in 1979. In 1983 he joined Canada Post as a mail carrier in Calgary, AB until retiring once again in 2001.

Tom and Irene moved to Enderby, B.C. in 2004 where he proudly served as a “Sergeant at Arms” at the Armstrong Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #35.

A memorial service for Tom will be held Thursday, September 6th at 1:30 pm at the Armstrong Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #35 (2526- Pleasant Valley Blvd, Armstrong B.C.)

Obituaries

Børge Buch Nielsen passed away on August 27th, 2012 in Vernon, BC at the age of 81 years.

Borge Børge was born on March 23, 1931 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

He grew up working in the family bakery, but at the age of 20, after a short time in the army, he began a new adventure and immigrated to Canada, where he became known as ‘Bob’. He found work as a logger with Baird Brothers in Enderby. He was soon joined by his childhood sweetheart, Inge-Lise and they were married on September 1st, 1954.

Future jobs would ¿nd him at Vernon Box & Pine but he eventually returned to his roots as a baker, becoming the bakery foreman at Super Valu at Polson Mall.

Bob was a self-taught handyman and built many playhouses and kitchens over the years. He loved to go ¿shing at Pinaus Lake, spending time in the RV on Vancouver Island and in later years he enjoyed casino bus trips with good friends. Bob and Inga were members of the Scandinavian Club and enjoyed many years of Danish folk dancing.

He was well known for his famous barbecue chicken. Bob was a hard worker but loved spending time with his family, playing canasta and going for many hot dog roasts at Ellison Park. He loved his family so much and would do anything for them, always ¿nding new ways to make them laugh. He was the most loving husband, and the very best Daddy and ‘Morfar’.

Bob was predeceased by his parents, Hans and Kirsten, and his older brother Fridtjoff.

His memory will carry on with Inga, his wife and soulmate of almost 58 years, his daughter Doris (Vince) Nickel and three grandsons, Jordan, Jason and Joshua, all of Coldstream, BC. At Bob’s request there will be a celebration of life for family. Arrangements have been entrusted to Vernon Funeral Home 250-5420155.
