Local technology has global reach RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Home-grown technology is turning heads in the halls of power in Victoria and mine pits across South America and Africa. Vernon-based Kal Tire unveiled wireless tire pressure monitoring for mines around the world in front of its staff, Premier Christy Clark and the media Friday. “It’s amazing how the technology allows us in Vernon to monitor what is going on in Mozambique,” said Clark. Kal Tire, North America’s largest commercial tire dealer, has developed the technology with Delta-based SST Wireless. “There are no mines in Vernon or Delta, but there are mines all over the world and it shows how we are connected economically,” said Clark of the importance of B.C. companies competing internationally. The new True Tire Technology system is already being used at mine sites in Canada, Mexico, China and Mozambique. In time, it could be used in the 19 countries Kal Tire’s mining tire group operates in. “It can tell if a tire is running low on air,” said Kal Tire’s Kris Green. “A Kal Tire agent on site can then go and put in air.” Earthmover tires on a mine site are massive — they stand 12.5-feet tall and weigh 11,000 pounds. They range in price from $50,000 to $80,000. Because of that investment, it’s critical for companies to extend the life of the tires, and ensuring air pressure helps reduce fuel, increase safety and reduce operational downtime. “We are always looking for ways to add value to the service we provide,” said Robert Foord, Kal Tire president. “We have created a product that can have an impact worldwide.” Clark told Kal Tire’s senior executive and employees that they play a leading role in diversifying and strengthening B.C.’s economy. “You make Vernon incredibly proud and B.C. incredibly proud,” she said. “You have put a unique B.C. stamp on quality.” Clark will travel to Asia in November to

Vernon firefighters battled two structure fires overnight Friday, including this one at a duplex in the 3700 block of Commonage Crescent which destroyed one of the units at 3 a.m. Earlier in the night Vernon Fire Rescue responded to a kitchen fire in the 4100 block of 20th Street and a single-vehicle rollover in the 7900 block of Okanagan Landing Road. No serious injuries were reported in these incidents.

More details are known about a blaze that destroyed two Vernon homes this summer. It has been determined that a fire began in the 2200 block of 53rd Avenue Aug. 13 when there was a fault in the electrical feed to one of the residences. “It shorted against the (electrical) box and caused the fire,” said Lawrie Skolrood, Vernon

deputy fire chief. The cause of the fault has not been determined because of the extensive damage. While there was some speculation that a smart meter may be involved in the fire, that has been ruled out. “There is no evidence that way whatsoever,” said Skolrood. It’s believed the fire caused about $1.2 million in damages to both homes, which were insured.

an Gibson avoids driving by his late, close friend Don MacDonald’s East Hill home these days. Gibson choked back tears the first time he did. Remembering the good times the boxing legends spent together comes easier. Both men enter the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame at a Friday induction luncheon at the Schubert Centre. “I spent 33 years driving around B.C. with Don MacDonald,” smiled Gibson, 79. “You should have seen some of the motels we stayed in. You wouldn’t let beggars stay in them. We would have four boxers with us and two would sleep on the floor, Don would have his own bed and I’d be on the couch.” A miner and amateur boxer in the tiny Scottish community of Kirkconnel, Gibson moved here in 1975.

He offered to help MacDonald coach the Vernon Boxing Club, but MacDonald politely rejected his offer, instead asking if he would referee and judge. The retired Riverside Forest Products employee has officiated more than 4,000 bouts since and is respected as one of Canada’s premier referees. He heads to the junior nationals next month in Quebec City where he will judge or referee two bouts a day for a week. He was inducted into the B.C. Boxing Hall of Fame last year. “I had a 20-minute lecture on how to referee from Freddie Fuller from Vancouver and I got thrown into the ring at the rec centre,” laughed Gibson. “I stopped two bouts that night and Freddy was happy as hell with me for a change.

Derby benefits community ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

The crowd loved it. The drivers loved it. The community loved it. The revival of the Armstrong Demolition Derby was a huge success. An estimated crowd of 5,000 turned out Thanksgiving Sunday at the IPE grounds to watch more than 20 cars and trucks tangle and crash for trophies and cash prizes. “I know there were a few little issues we have to deal with for next year, but it went pretty smooth for the first year back,” said event spokesperson Lyle Williamson. The derby had been a fixture for nearly a quarter-century on Thanksgiving weekend before the event took a hiatus that lasted more than a decade. “Next year we are going to offer pre-sell tickets so people can get through the gates faster, and we will have more food vendors there as well,” said Williamson. “I know by the results of this year that we will have more cars and trucks next year as there was a lot of people that seemed to be watching how our event went before they decide to bring a vehicle. “We have already had people wanting to get the rules and regs for next year as some guys like to plan their whole year out ahead of time as they go to more than one derby a year.”

The brothers then went to Tuckers Restaurant and presented them with $2,000 to help with the fundraising the Tuckers are doing for their daughter, Emma, who has a rare disease. “My wife, Dara, won second place in the powder puff event and donated her $50 winnings to the Tucker family as well,” said Williamson.

Landing parents setting pace$349 LB RICHARD ROLKE

Morning Star Staff

This round of follow the leader will save lives. Parents enthusiastically signed up as pace car drivers at Okanagan Landing Elementary Thursday. “We need to put more effort on speed limits because people don’t pay attention,” said Jennifer Gartner after taking the pledge and receiving a vehicle sticker. Through the City of Vernon initiative, parents and residents are asked to sign up as pace car drivers. They will drive respectfully and within speed limits in the hope they will influence the actions of other motorists. Okanagan L anding Elementary was selected as the first school in the program because of the number of students who walk along Okanagan Landing Road. “It is a busy, fast road,” said Geoff Straight, school parents advisory council vice-president. “We’re hopeful this initiative spreads out to other areas like Tronson and Bella Vista roads.” Jade Klimp, a Grade 6 student, has experienced some close calls as she heads to class. “You see the cars flying past and I get scared because they may not see me,” she said. The pace car drivers are considered to be mobile traffic calming. “I will be a human speed bump,” said Juliette Cunningham, a Vernon city councillor, who has embraced the program. Cunningham insists the goal of pace car drivers isn’t to be vigilantes but to promote proper etiquette when behind the wheel. “The health and safety of students is important to me,” she said. Statistics indicate that a

An order to clean up unsightly premises in Spallumcheen would have more impact than being told the property is an eye-sore. Council is considering a recommendation from bylaw enforcement officer Grant Colling to change its existing bylaw regulations on the matter. Colling explained that in the last quarter, from July to September, there were three unsightly premises he had to deal with. Two of them, he said, have been cleaned up. But the third property is at the point where it will now receive the township’s notice of noncompliance note. Change that to an order of compliance, said Colling, who also works in Armstrong and Enderby, cities that have order of compliance orders, and that will help.

— Grant Colling

“Under your bylaws, we send the owners a note saying you’re not complying (with the township’s regulations) and you must,” said Collin. “In Armstrong and Enderby, we have the order to comply and that has far more impact. It’s saying the situation is serious enough that we’re telling you, you must take certain actions to remedy it. “It catches a person’s attention when they’re ordered to comply.” Under an order to comply, if the situation is still not fixed to the township’s standards, the municipality has the authority to send in its public works department or hire a contractor to clean up the unsightly

Proposed amendments to a federal policy on additions to aboriginal reserves and reserve creation has Delta’s mayor and the Township of Spallumcheen concerned. Delta Mayor Lois E.

Jackson sent a letter to all provincial mayors and councils expressing worries about the proposed amendments. The changes, she claims, will have some very significant implications for local governments. “In particular, the changes will allow First Nations to add lands to their reserves that are outside of their traditional territory,” wrote Jackson. “The ramifications for a community like

ours, which has three reserves nearby, is that we won’t have any veto power,” said township Coun. Todd York. In her letter, Jackson pointed out seven main points for concern, ranging from the reasons for additions, location of reserve lands, land use, no veto power and net tax loss. She also stated the proposed amendments are unclear as to how the new policy will impact provincial Agricultural

Land Reserve (ALR), as it is not mentioned in the policy document. “There has to be another side to the story,” said Coun. Andrew Casson. “I can see them wanting to expand into Crown lands, but to move into municipal boundary lands, it’s a completely different structure. “The complexity of this, to me, is mind boggling. There has to be more to it.” Coun. Todd York motioned to write a

strongly worded letter to MLAs, Premier Christy Clark, B.C. MPs, B.C. senate members and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. “I’d like to see us voice our concerns that we weren’t involved in the process of decision making,” said York. “Before this is rammed down everybody’s throat, I’d like them to invite us and communities like ours to speak on behalf of this.” York’s motion was unanimously supported.

property. The city could then either send a bill to the owner or add the cost to the owner’s tax bill. Fines in the township range from $100 for unsightly premises to $500 for failure to comply or interference. An order to comply serves three main purposes. “It clearly outlines the conditions that must be brought up to standard,” said Colling. “We’re saying we are ordering you to clean up your property, that it must be cleaned up by a certain date and we have a record of the date the order was served.” Colling said he works hard with those owners deemed to have unsightly premises to

help them get the properties cleaned up before a notice of non-compliance or order to comply is issues. In one of the three instances in Spallumcheen last quarter, Colling’s work resulted in him receiving praise from the owners. He described the property as having more than a dozen trucks, buses, trailers, wrecks and stuff that needed to be disposed of. “The respondents thanked me for the directions I gave them,” said Colling. “They know the property’s a mess but had no idea what to do. The wife thanked me for giving her husband some motivation. Now, the property is night-and-day. You’d never know it was same property.” Colling offered to work with township administration to come up with an order of compliance form for council’s perusal, which council accepted.

Golf course set to close kevin parnell

The Aspen Grove Golf Course and restaurant in Lake Country will close for good Dec. 24, paving the way for a new middle school and playing fields to be eventually built on the site. The final condition of the sale of Aspen Grove to the Central Okanagan School District has been removed after the Agriculture Land Commission approved non-farm use of the land which is protected under the Agriculture Land Reserve. At Aspen Grove, employees have already been told the doors are closing on a popular meeting place and Lake Country’s only golf course. “Everything is great around here,” said golfer Larry Babcock, who travels regularly with his wife and friends from Kelowna to play at Aspen Grove. “It’s too bad. It’s a little jewel and there aren’t many left.”

In order to accommodate existing and projected enrolment in Lake Country, a grade 7-8 middle school program is being created at George Elliot Secondary School starting September 2014. A six-classroom portable annex is being constructed on-site to accommodate the grade 7 students. A new middle school in Lake Country is the fourth priority in the school district’s fiveyear capital plan. The construction of the new school is dependent on funding support from the Ministry of Education.

Nothing but blue skies...

’ve written before about my frustration with weather forecasts that slightly miss the mark. You know when there’s nothing but sunshine on the TV forecast and decent temperatures and, well, the sun never does show its face and the mercury rises to about half what was forecast. I think they call it an inversion, which is a fancy word for fog or low cloud or crappy, depressing weather for us in the lowlands. Now I can imagine it’s difficult to predict whether fog, and when and specifically where fog, is going to get burnt off or blown away, or if it is at all. So I have some sympathy for forecasters on this one. And to some extent fog Glenn Mitchell serves as a good metaphor for these days as at times we all literally feel like we’re living in one, and that’s just the stuff we’re dealing with in our head at any given moment. When we step outside into a soupy, grey day it just reinforces what we are already dealing with psychologically. Kind of as if we’re winging it through life, without sonar or GPS or any other technological advancement, and it’s increasingly difficult to see what lies ahead. OK, that could just be me, ha. However, although fog will always be a bit on the depressing side and is a sign of a significant weather pattern that looms on the horizon, we do know, in these parts at least, we get more than our share of sunshine and it will return, hopefully sooner rather than later. I know there are parts of the world where fog is much more of an ongoing issue than here in paradise. When I lived at the Coast while going to school there were days when it was so socked in, definitely not an inversion, it felt like you were an extra in an Alfred Hitchcock movie, surreal I think they call it. There were a few such times at Simon Fraser University, which if you’ve never been there, looks a little bit like Battlestar Galactica on a mountaintop.

MitChEll’S MuSingS

It’s cool and beautiful on a nice day, with great views to boot, but Arthur Erickson’s salute to quadrangles and concrete on a windy, rainy, foggy, cold November day gives new meaning to the word grey. If you could see in front of you it would be difficult to distinguish colours, if there were any to distinguish. And in case you think I’m picking on SFU, I went to UBC too and the oceanside campus is even more prone to fog and depressing conditions, especially for an Interior boy, and includes the haunting call of fog horns being sounded from the ships lurking somewhere in the murky distance, just for effect, of course. But sometimes you have to turn things around and learn to love what life deals you on the weather front. During my SFU days I lived in a basement suite on Austin Road and I used to take breaks from doing homework (or was it procrastinate from actually doing homework?) and walk out into the foggy unknown to clear my head, so to speak. There was a mysterious, even dangerous aspect about heading out into the grey beyond where I have to admit I did get lost, at least temporarily, on occasion. But at the time it beat reading Chaucer in my closet of a room and was even invigorating when you came back damp but triumphant. If you let your imagination run a little wild it was like exploring the great beyond because at the time you couldn’t see more than a few feet ahead of you, even though you knew the Vancouver Golf and Country Club was somewhere across the street and hopefully your house was still there where you left it half an hour before. No wonder horror shows utilize fog machines so much, it taps into our deepest fears of abandonment and questioning what’s real and what’s not (I think at this point someone is supposed to reach out from the darkness and grab you for effect). Anyway, the forecast is for sunny days ahead so we’re out of the clouds and back into nothing but blue skies, right? Maybe, maybe not.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper prorogued the 41st sitting of parliament to allow the Conservative government time to reset its priorities. The need to reset, Harper claimed, was because his government had successfully met most of the goals established in the previous speech from the throne. The last parliamentary sessions included the passing of two omnibus bills amending more than 50 laws such as the former Navigable Waters Act, and pushing the pension threshold for Old Age Security to 67 from 65 years of age. How these two amendments make Canada a better place to live is a mystery. Given the Conservative government had a month to reset their priorities, Canadians could be forgiven if they had high expectations regarding announcements addressing unemployment, health care, education, and senate reform. How disappointing then to listen to the throne speech last week indicating Harper and Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty decided to nickel and dime their way into the next election. Forcing cable companies to offer individual channels and wireless companies to cap roaming charges will not put more Canadians to work, will not improve health care, or education, or anything for that matter. Harper and Flaherty are sticking to their job training program, a program they gave to the provinces then decided to take back. Meanwhile, 7.2 per cent of Canadians are unemployed. In 2000 that number was six per cent. Maybe with the new EU trade pact they can head over to Europe to find employment. ---Penticton Western News

Greater Vernon is over governed

reater Vernon does not have a single municipal government. What does our area now have in terms of governance? Greater Vernon has two mayors, 12 councillors and two electoral area representatives. These 16 elected individuals are supported by their respective municipal and regional district staffs. The administrative employees strive to keep things running smoothly. The staff are to provide recommendations to the elected officials who then set policy and budgets. Sounds pretty good, so what is problem? Four separate jurisdictions is an expensive way to govern only 50,000 people living in such close proximity. This situation is inherently inefficient because of duplication of staff and services. Some costs, like policing are not being shared equitably. Businesses and individuals trying to invest in Greater Vernon often face a labyrinth of obstacles perpetuated by the number of local jurisdictions. The frustration can be palpable. To be fair, efforts have been made to cooperate among the local jurisdictions. Historically, an advantage was seen in working together to provide services to residents of the area that were shared across local political boundaries; the Greater Vernon

wildlife woes One may want to ask what type of society we dwell in? One where life is only valued when it does not inconvenience our daily self-delusion of what life is. Take the case recently or many cases of killing other species that inhabit their environment which we trespass upon. Long before we were here animals existed. They did what animals do and for that, they kept nature in balance and harmony. In comes the human race and decides, as a superior race (that is a laugh), that all life is expendable to us if in anyway it may inconvenience us. We self-righteous, arrogant humans feel that the eradication of life is our right. That other species have no right to life if they show their face around us. Yes I am talking about the inhumane rash of killings by the so-called protectors of society. What is that, oh a deer, shoot it. What is that, oh a bear, shoot it. What is that, oh a bear with children, terminate them. Why? Why not! They have

parks and recreation function being the prime example of such an endeavor. The tricky part of these types of agreements is the working out of the details. Who owns what? Who does what? Who pays for what? And just who is in charge? Questions all more readily answered if there was only one local government. Recently, our elected officials at GVAC have spent the better part of a year endeavouring to address anew just such questions. The result is the new parks agreement that separates us more than it unites us. It creates more players and boundaries instead of reducing them. During their protracted negotiations, they missed asking a question obvious to many. We are one community.

infringed upon the sacred holy ground that we have deemed our own. The most recent annihilation was a bear. He was just doing what a bear does. He ended up in the wrong place and he went up a tree to feel safe until he could see an out, a way to get back to where he would feel safe. What do we do? Shoot him. After all, he was a threat. Yet let's look at our own insanity of what a threat is. Did he harm or kill or threaten anyone? No. Why wasn't he tranquilized? Because, bottom line, it is cheaper to use one bullet and discard his carcass in the dump than it is to relocate the poor little, confused guy. If a human has killed many people, we put him in jail, then release him so we can find out if he is still a threat. Why do we not kill this person who has threatened, attacked and killed? Because we pride ourselves on acts of being humane and after all, any animal, but a human, is not aware of what humane is, so just terminate it that way we can keep our conscious clear.

Shouldn't we be governed as such? This question is the elephant in the room for anyone that has had to deal with our local governments. The option of one local municipal government has been recently raised by the Greater Vernon Governance Society. The society has launched an online petition that has at its heart, the premise that things could be run better and more efficiently if there was one municipal government in our area. For many individuals, amalgamation is an emotional issue and elicits an emotional response. Though honest and understandable, this response is not desirable. A more thoughtful and detailed approach is required so that a wise decision can be made.

I have to laugh when the police or conservation officers speak of humane acts of killing. You can hear all kinds of rhetoric about how it is inhumane to relocate a bear. They will be in hostile territory and may have to fight another bear for turf. They may have to search out food and water. Well wake up people. What do you think they do when they leave mom? Yes, they search for their turf. They may have to fight another bear and they go off in search of food and water. It is very rare that one bear kills another in territorial disputes. Then there is the excuse that even if we relocate him (mostly because the vast majority are smart enough to know the animal would most likely survive), the bear would just return. Really! How dumb do you think people are? It is true there are a few that may find their way back and yet. Why would a bear walk 50 miles to return to some place if he/she finds ample food and water where they are? These lame excuses have been used as an excuse to save money and

The KPMG report to Vernon council pointed to efficiencies and cost savings that could be realized by the amalgamation of the local governments into one entity. Though the report lacked detail, KPMG recommended the option be pursued. Council chose a quick, emotional response instead of thoughtful investigation. No action was taken. Lack of interest from the community was cited as the justification for doing nothing. The ongoing interest in the GVGS online petition shows that Vernon City Council was mistaken. Citizens from all areas of Greater Vernon have signed this petition. These taxpayers would like to see a detailed proposal outlining both benefits and pitfalls of amalgamation put to a referendum. The province's policy is that such a referendum would only come if sufficient public support is manifest. So what then should be done? The answer is clear. We are over governed here in the sunny North Okanagan. If you think, as I do, that the option of one government for Greater Vernon should be thoroughly examined and then put to a vote, make your wishes known and sign the online petition at greatervernongovernance.ca shawn lee

for convenience. We spend multiple millions of dollars destroying nature and pouring concrete over everything, so why would we want to preserve anything to do with nature? Why relocate when we can exterminate? Let's develop every inch of lakefront so the animals have no place to access water, and then when they do trespass upon our God-given land, we can sit on our front decks and shoot them. This will in essence remove any need for forestry or conservation officials and we can save more money that way. Our beautiful province is supposed to be noted for its nature and wildlife. We don't blink an eye that it costs $178,000 a year to keep one person in jail and yet with all of the money taxed and sent to our government, they will not put anything towards saving and preserving life because money matters and life does not, unless it is a human. Maybe one day we will prove that we are a superior race and respect all life, but at the rate we are going, I doubt it. Mark sandberg

An automated external defibrillator (AED) was donated by the Heart and Stroke Foundation to the centre as part of the B.C. Public Access to Defibrillation (PAD) program. “Through this program, we will donate hundreds of AEDs to public places across the province, such as the Schubert Centre and give bystanders the tools to help someone suffering a sudden cardiac arrest,” said Deborah Rusch, PAD program manager with the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The Heart and Stroke Foundation and the B.C. Ambulance Service (BCAS) have partnered to implement the program. BCAS paramedics provide on-site orientation and has also linked the AED registry with the ambulance dispatch system. This will allow a bystander who calls 911 to be directed by a BCAS dispatcher to the nearest AED. BCAS dispatchers can also assist bystanders to apply an AED during a medical emergency. “We want as many people as possible to understand that early intervention gives sudden cardiac arrest patients their best shot at survival and that the ability to save someone’s life is in their hands,” said Nathan Suklz, a Vernon paramedic. BCAS attends between 2,400 to 2,800 cardiac arrest calls each year. For more information, on the PAD program, visit www.BCPADProgram.ca.

meeting, which was held in the J.W. Inglis gym this month. “They accomplish great things every day — they are inventive and curious and we learn from them every day.” Badgero outlined the school’s growth plan, whose goal is to improve student achievement in social responsibility. “We want students to have a sense of pride and belonging, to feel safe,” she said. One way of doing that is to make sure every student has a school T-shirt. “When I saw all the kids in the field with their T-shirts on, they were so proud of their school and it had a big impact on making them feel they belong to our school.” The school’s other goal, said Badgero, is to improve student achievement in writing style, using a variety of strategies, with a 30 per cent improvement in the past year. As well, the school is involved in reading early intervention, so that all students are reading at grade level by Grade 3. “Our staff is passionate about moving reading forward, and our librarians and parents are all working collaboratively, and as educators we encourage our children to take risks in their learning.” Other areas of focus for the school are improving math skills and introducing healthy snacks. “The joy, the caring and pride at J.W. Inglis is amazing — our students support each other and make connections that will last for years.

Since the fall of 2012, the initiative has involved 9,000 B.C. students in kindergarten to Grade 3, 600 educators, 66 early reading learning teams in 59 school districts and 420 in-depth case studies focused on many of B.C.’s most vulnerable readers. “When the program began, 68 per cent of students were considered to be meeting the requirements of reading at their level.

something that is personally meaningful; give the child time to talk with their peers about reading and writing; have every child listen to a fluent adult read aloud. “That is so important as it’s when we show what it sounds and looks like. We’ve been trying to offer more choice to kids, and every child should be reading with 98 per cent accuracy,” she said. “We found when we worked with kids with books they like, they are more willing to read for longer and their confidence goes up.” Henney said what’s needed also are great resources for kids, not simply photocopied sheets stapled together, but fabulous books that will engage the child.

Vernon firefighters want a safe Halloween Morning Star Staff

Ghosts and goblins will soon be making the rounds and that means safety is of critical importance. The Vernon Fire Department is providing a number of tips to ensure trick-ortreaters are safe during Halloween Oct. 31. “Minimize the risk of contact with candles or other ignition sources by avoiding baggy pants, loose frills or billowing skirts,” said Lawrie Skolrood, deputy fire chief. “Should clothing catch fire, stop immediately, drop to the

ground and cover face with hands and roll over and over to extinguish the flames.” Always carry a flashlight with as you accompany your children as they trick or treat. Make sure you have a cell phone and that everyone knows to call 911 in an emergency. Batter y-powered candles, lights or glow sticks are safe to use to light up your carved pumpkins and other decorations. Avoid using real candles as they can start a fire that can ruin your Halloween celebrations. “If you decide to use

real candles, they must be kept well away from children and pets or anything that can burn, such as curtains,” said Skolrood. “Blow out all candles before leaving the room. Keep any carved pumpkins lit with real

candles away from the front door as children in flowing costumes may brush by them.” Keep any matches, lighters or utility lighters out of sight and reach of children. Ensure electrical outlets are not overloaded

However, there will be four additional committee of the whole meetings on Jan. 20, Feb. 11, March 10 and March 31 to accommodate financial planning for the year. Council is cancelling the first regular meeting of 2014 slated for Jan. 6 due to the fact the office only reopens following the holidays on Jan. 2. This does not give staff time to prepare an agenda for a regular meeting. The only regular meeting in January is set for Jan. 13. In September, council voted to hold one regular meeting on Sept. 8. The meeting set for Tuesday, Sept. 2 was cancelled due to the proximity of the IPE (which runs Aug. 27 to 31 and which council members are heavily involved). The committee of the whole meeting set for Sept. 29 has been postponed, and rescheduled to Sept. 15 to help council members prepare for the annual UBCM convention.

Vees survive Vipers’ comeback Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Vipers have surprised a number of teams with their third-period heroics. They nearly did it again Friday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre, but instead fell 6-5 in overtime to the Penticton Vees in a B.C. Hockey League thriller. In double-OT, Brett Beauvais beat netminder Danny Todosychuk on a penalty shot after Vernon d-man Josh Bryan was called for a tripping minor (automatic penalty shot at 3-on-3) at 3:31. Tied 3-3 early in the third period, the Interior Divisionleading Vees (11-3-1-1) appeared to have put the game away on goals by Cody DePourcq (6th goal) and Max Coatta (9th). However, Vernon (9-5-1-3), showing the no-quit attitude that has helped them win six of their last eight, responded with two of their own to force OT. Jared Wilson and Riley Guenther, both d-men, and both netting their first goal as a Viper, guaranteed their team a point. “We’ve had some good games where we came back late, so it’s definitely showed our guys we can come back at any time,” Vernon head coach Jason Williamson told Black Press. “We have some high-end skill up there. It’s refreshing to see that they won’t quit, ever.” Coatta opened the scoring in the opening period on the first of two Penticton powerplay goals. Vernon took a 2-1 lead into the intermission on snipes by Dexter Dancs (8th) and TJ Dumonceaux (2nd), scoring his second goal in as many games after a 14-game drought. Depourcq (second star) equalized with the game’s lone second-period snipe, assisted by Riley Alfred and Brad McClure. McClure, with his team-leading 10th goal, and Jason Bird (4th), who finished with a goal and three assists, traded goals early in the third period. “Jason Bird was good in jumping up in the play and we were creating things off the rush,” said Williamson, adding Vernon’s defensive play was a little sluggish. “We weren’t as good as I’ve seen us be in the defensive zone. We were giving up too many opportunities. We’ve just got to be more aware of the guys around us and not puck watching.” The Vees outshot Vernon 45-26 and held the Vipers

Hockey League action Friday night at South Okanagan Events Centre. The Vees won 6-5 in overtime. scoreless on three powerplays. Olivier Mantha recorded 22 saves for his sixth win. Todosychuk had 40 stops for Vernon. “We were just that little bit off on puck battles, but we showed some compete being able to come back,” said Williamson. Vernon was missing a trio of players as they entertained the 9-8-1 Merritt Centennials Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. Wilson, along with forwards Demico Hannoun and Dancs, are in Calgary for a five-day selection camp for

Team Canada West, which will compete at the upcoming World Junior A Challenge in Yarmouth, N.S. Merritt also has three players at the camp – d-man Dane Birks and forwards Diego Cuglietta and Jeff Wight. In other BCHL action Friday night, the West Kelowna Warriors took over sole possession of second place at 11-4-0-1, one point ahead of Vernon, as they outlasted the host Coquitlam Express 4-3 at Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre. Reid Simmonds netted the winner with 22 seconds remaining in regulation to cap a two-goal night.

0-1 Knights. It remained that way until the second period when the 11-0-1-1 Leafs responded with three unanswered snipes by Bryce Nielson (1st), Brandon Sookro (5th) and Travis Wellman (20th, shorthanded). “We just have a momentary lapse,” said Knights’ head coach Shawn Webb. “You could just feel our bench do the ‘Oh no.’ “Losing can become a habit. That’s always been our fear when we started to slip on these games.

“We’re not fighting through it. We’re accepting it. The only thing that’s going to change this is us.” Wellman (21st) and Darnell St. Pierre (2nd) completed the offence in the third period. The Knights entertained the 100 Mile House Wranglers (6-7-0-2) Saturday at Nor-Val. Webb was without forward Blaine Caton (Vernon Vipers) and Logan Mostat and Paul Biegel (Salmon Arm SilverBacks), who were called up for BCHL duty that night. He called up Jagger Williamson and Cole Woodliffe from the Vernon Midget Tier 1 Vipers.

Knights’ skid reaches five games with loss to Leafs Morning Star Staff

The North Okanagan Knights scored the first goal, but it was all downhill after that. The Knights suffered their fifth straight Kootenay International Junior Hockey League loss as they fell 5-1 to the first-place Nelson Leafs Friday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. As has been the case in each of North Okanagan’s last three games, they got off to a terrific start. This time it was Mat Lambert potting his seventh goal, on the powerplay, to open the scoring for the 7-6-

Bill Hartford puts the pedal to the metal in his 1972 Buick Skylark GS in Super Pro drag racing action. Hartford was crowned the 2013 Super Pro champion at Thunder Mountain, just east of Kelowna.

Life’s a drag for Hartford Sports Editor

Bill Hartford was somewhat of a young rebel racing his 1966 Chevy 2 late at night on Latimer Road in Langley. Today, he’s the 2013 Super Pro drag racing champion at Thunder Mountain just east of Kelowna. He won the crown last month. “I was a street racer and I lost my licence when I was a teenager,” smiles Hartford, who works on the road crew for the municipality of Coldstream. “I had 27 points and it got expensive.” He’s 48 now, drives the speed limit around town in a Dodge diesel pick-up, and has built 27 cars and trucks since — Bill he was 14. The auto junkie also won the Super Pro class at the oldtime drags at Nl’Axkapxm Eagle Motorplex in Ashcroft earlier this season. “I’ve been on the small circuit from Mission (Raceway) to Kelowna the last two years and I’ve had 148 passes on my yellow 1972 Buick Skylark GS I bought last year. The car has a history of drag racing from day one in Mission and Ashcroft where it ran 12.5 seconds in the quarter

mile. Today, it runs low 11 seconds with a very strong 464 (cubic inch) putting out 490 horse power and 520-foot pounds torque, and it only weights 2,800 pounds. “It’s a real consistent car, very reliable. It’s not just turn the key and go. It takes driver’s skills.” Hartford also owns a ‘72 black Buick Pro Street car weighing 3,800 pounds. That car runs 7.35 seconds at 93.1 miles per hour at sea level at Thunder Mountain and 11.62 seconds at 119.45 mph at Achcroft’s quarter-mile track which is at 2,200 feet. “The most interesting thing about drag racing is the skill of the sport,” said Hartford. “Judging the elevation, air density, humidity, temperature and barometer, Hartford and knowing your car and other competitors. Cutting a good light and not breaking out makes a great combination for a win.” Hartford took automotive at D.W. Poppy high school and spent countless hours in the machine shop. He has a big shop or “man cave” at his house for his hot rod hobby. A regular season sees him race seven times at

Thunder Mountain offers Friday night instant green racing to anyone with an insured vehicle and valid driver’s licence and a helmet. Most people, young and old, who try it for the first time, get hooked. It is a very safe sport and the volunteer staff is always there to help you.

Ashcroft drags were huge in the 1970s and are slowly making a comeback. “I raced a guy this year who was 69 and there is a lady, 79, who is really impressive.” He won the Super Pro points title with 188, edging Norm Wright of Kelowna (168). With no pit crew required, Hartford praises sponsors Tamara Cinnamon and staff at the Sutton Realty office, Tim Deplonty at Aamco Transmissions and Andy Kettles and staff at Hilltop Tirecraft.

Royals reach TRU playoffs Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Christian Royals advanced to the Tier 1 playoffs after a strong Friday outing at the Thompson Rivers Wolfpack senior boys volleyball tournament in Kamloops. The Royals lost their first match, 24-26, 22-25, to the G.P. Vanier Towhees of Courtenay, but rebounded with a sweep (25-15, 25-12) of the Mt. Sentinel Wildcats of South Slocan. In their final match in pool play, the Royals ground out a 25-22, 26-24 decision over he feisty NorKam Saints. The Royals were led by outside hitter Travis Hoogland, who had 31 kills on the day. Ryan Price supplied solid back-row passing, 14 kills and three aces. Middle player Tim Bartel led the team with six blocks and also served up a trio of aces. Setter Zac Dubland balanced the attack all day and came up with some nice digs, while libero Jake Thiessen passed solidly from the back court.

Vernon’s Vasek Pospisil faced his boyhood tennis idol in the semifinals of the $1 million Swiss Indoors Saturday in Basel, Switzerland. Pospisil, who now trains in Vancouver and lives in the Bahamas, met world No. 6 Roger Federer in the ATP World Tennis Tour 500 event after he grounded No. 29 Ivan Dodig of Croatia, 7-6 (11), 6-4 on Friday. Continuing his strong string of indoor play, Pospisil saved multiple set points in the opening set tiebreak, and was able to get the decisive break at 4-4 in the second set to come away with a straight sets win. He and Federer played once previously in the second round of the Rogers Cup, in Montreal, in 2011, and Federer won in straight sets.

Atoms Harvest wins Morning Star Staff

The Valley Wood Remanufacturing Vipers got off to a terrific start in the A Division of the Harvest Cup Atom Development Hockey Tournament Friday night at Kal Tire Place. The Snakes opened the tourney with a 9-0 thumping of the Abbotsford Hawks and kept the offence rolling with a 10-2 decision over the Kelowna Rockets. Cayden Hamming recorded the shutout, supported by a strong possession game by the Vipers. Cody Beckner opened the scoring with a pass from Jace Weir. Bennett Kuhnlein then netted his first of the season and later added an assist. Other Vernon offence came from game MVP Zac Funk (2G), Austin Roest (2G), Steel Quiring (1+2), Weir and Jacob Boden. Connor Elliot pocketed the opening goal on a determined effort from behind the net against the Rockets. Quiring made it 2-0 after a pair of crisp passes from Boden and Elliot. Adding further offence for Vernon were game MVP Jakob Jones (2+2), Boden (2), Isaac Thomas, Funk, Roest and Porter Trevelyan. Owen Swiscoski made some key saves later in the game as the Vipers began to fade. In other A Division action Friday, the Vancouver Thunderbirds doubled the Rockets

4-2, and the Richmond Blues iced the Thunderbirds 8-2.

H&L crew earns split

In C Division Harvest Cup play Friday at Civic, the H&L Glass Vipers split their opening games, grounding the Williams Lake Timberwolves 5-2 before falling 5-1 to the North Okanagan Knights. Vernon stormed out of the gate with a dozen unanswered shots before Nick Noren broke the ice. After drawing a penalty on a coast-to-coast rush, Noren bagged the rebound from Emma Elders on the ensuing powerplay. Williams Lake replied on their first shot of the game, and the next goal wouldn’t come until early in the third period when the Vipers’ John Spraggs sped in alone from centre. The Williams Lake keeper made the first stop, but game MVP Cash Anderson dashed in to deposit the loose change. Hard Hat winner Brock Holliday looked to pad the lead, twice blazing down the wing for glorious chances. After Maddex Minard sizzled a Chris Bond feed on net, it was Jordyn Morris who broke through with Vernon’s third, lifting the puck over the fallen tender. Williams Lake snuck closer with a shorthanded goal, but the Vernon powerplay answered right back as Anderson sunk a short putt set up by Nick Noren. The

Timberwolves hung around and might have made it a nail-biter were it not for a scintillating toe save by Teja Sheldrake off a breakaway with under five to go. Chris Bond took Maddex Minard’s centering pass and finished high blocker side to complete the attack. After surrendering an early goal to North Okanagan, Vernon clamped down and responded early in the second period as Brock Holliday corralled a clearing attempt on the boards and whipped a sharp-angle shot on net. Colby Restiaux banged in the rebound. The Knights regained the lead six minutes later, and then rode a shorthanded seeing-eye point shot to a 3-1 advantage after two. The Atom Vipers held their explosive northern neighbours to only nine shots in the latter half of the game, but could not capitalize on their own chances. Instead, the opportunistic Knights squeezed in two more late goals. Vernon’s tenacious dee pair of Liam Leibel and Quinn Soon accepted the Hard Hat Award and Player of the Game, respectively. In other Tier 3 action at the Civic, the Langley Eagles and North Okanagan Knights skated to a 4-4 tie, and Langley later breezed past the South Okanagan Coyotes 11-5.

Vernon fell 3-2 to the Kelowna Rockets in their opening game. Kaden Black, Brenden Zupp and Carl Main handled the Viper attack as they bowed 5-3 to Williams Lake in the late game. Williams Lake used their size to keep the Vipers on their heels in the third period. Vernon had controlled most of the play to that point. Alex Laurila turned the hat

The offensive line provided the time, and quarterback Tye Kitzman supplied the offence as the Fulton Maroons doubled the host Westsyde Blue Wave 44-22 in senior AA boys football play Friday night in Kamloops. Kitzman dialed up three passing touchdowns to Caleb McCuaig (75 yards), Riley Beauchamp (nine yards) and Darrien Broomfield (22 yards), finishing the night with 161 passing yards on 7-of-12 attempts. He added a pair of short rushing scores. Mike Williamson returned a pick 85 yards for Fulton’s other score, while Davron Polok added a two-point convert and McCuaig went 3-for-5 on extra points. He also booted a 25-yard field goal. Polok led the Maroons’ ground game with 123 yards on nine carries. Tyler Leifke racked up 62 yards on 17 touches. McCuaig was the top receiver, amassing 115 yards on three catches. Defensively, Caron Deboer was a beast with 11 tackles (three sacks). Brett Shaigec had seven, Trevor Feeney had four and Leifke three. Franky Gettis and Deboer each had a fumble recovery. “This was a nice win for our team and the

coaching staff is proud of our team’s effort,” said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. “It was probably our best offensive effort of the season and we executed well. Our offensive line played its best game of the year. Sikandar Ahmad and Trent Smith both played really well on the right side. Mattias Papke had his first start of the season at left guard and he played tough all game.” “Carson Deboer was a force defensively all night. He registered almost every defensive stat possible and was difficult to block. Brett Shaigec stepped up and had his best game of the year at outside linebacker and was effective all game. “The French connection at corner back, Romain Hemart and Ed Petit-Jacquin, both played extensively and very well at corner.” Fulton hosts the Vernon Panthers for the city championship Saturday, at noon, at Grahame Park. “The battle for the city championship will be a very tough one for us against the undefeated Panthers,” said Scheller. “They have a very good and tough squad and have proved themselves the class of the Interior so far.” In other senior AA boys action Friday in Kamloops, the Panthers iced the host Valleyview Vikings 36-6. No results were reported.

Trade mission results in deals tom fletcher Black Press

B.C.’s annual forest products trade mission to Asia is finding slower growth in the Chinese market, but increasing use of higher-value products such as oriented strandboard. Forests Minister Steve Thomson and 25 B.C. forest products executives visited Shanghai and Beijing last week, after a stop in Japan to meet with government and industry officials. Thomson signed a letter of intent with

Meet the company that knows comfort inside and out. But especially inside.

China’s Zhejiang province to develop wood frame building, in a rapidly urbanizing country that has traditionally used concrete. In a phone interview from Shanghai, Thomson said while economic growth in China has slowed, it is still far ahead of North American rates, and Zhejiang province expects a 12.5 per cent increase in wood construction in the coming year. China still imports mostly lower-grade B.C. lumber to use for concrete forms and interior walls of its sprawling urban apartment blocks, but new construction techniques are catching on. The group toured

a resort project using foam-insulated panels made from oriented strandboard and lumber supplied by B.C. producers Ainsworth Lumber, Tolko Industries and Weyerhaueser. “That’s a building system that was pioneered in Canada,” said Rick Jeffery, CEO of the Coast Forest Products Association. “Not only were they using our technology, they were using our OSB and our dimension lumber.” Jeffery said Chinese builders and furniture manufacturers are also using more coastal products, including red cedar and higher-grade hemlock.

spoke to an industry conference to assure delegates that B.C.’s pine beetle epidemic has not led to a shortage of high-grade lumber that has been long favoured by Japanese buyers. Japan has adopted a “wood first” construction policy similar to B.C.’s, which has led to increased wood construction in a country still recovering from the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in the Fukushima region. Thomson said Japan has 420,000 seniors waiting for spaces in elder care facilities, and wood construction is being offered as a faster and greener way to meet that demand. He expects B.C. export sales to Japan this year to match or exceed the $700 million total for 2012, and also an increase in the $1.1 billion total sales to China recorded last year. The Canadian and provincial governments have been financing demonstration wood projects for several years in both countries, sharing the cost with industry to showcase the benefits. In Japan, the B.C. delegation visited a public market and library built near the Fukushima earthquake zone, and signed an agreement for a third facility for people left disabled by the disaster.

Politicians and Staffing costs for Vernon, Coldstream and Areas B & C in 2012 totaled $27,475,000* A unified New Municipality could remove (20%) $5,500,000 per year with a reduction of Senior Management Positions, alignment of operations and consistent policy direction! Instead - De - Unification of Parks in 2014 is estimated to cost taxpayers an additional $470,000!!! An increase of 19% in Park Budgets. Why aren’t our politicians looking for ways to reduce costs, for re-allocation to infrastructure and economic development? Sign our petition to insist that local and provincial authorities develop a plan for citizen approval, which would make more efficient use of local tax dollars. * based on 2012 annual reports for the city, district and proportion of RDNO related to areas in question.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Offer something if you want something in return. Your charm and carefree attitude will attract an audience willing to follow your lead and support your venture. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may be tempted to get involved in an impractical project. Don’t be fooled by someone’s improbable claims. Do your homework and make a decision based on facts, not hearsay. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Don’t follow someone else. You have to make your choice based on your own judgment. Going it alone may be daunting, but it could bring the highest rewards. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You will instinctively know what will and won’t work. Journey in a direction that caters to your skills and expertise, and it will lead to money and success. ARIES (March 21-April 19) You will learn something valuable from experiences with people who grab your attention and capture your heart. A passionate approach will ensure that your talents are recognized. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Keep your emotions in check when reacting to others. Keep busy with challenging physical activities to avoid emotionally draining conversation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Do your best to right a wrong or to fix a problem that has sprung from a misunderstanding. Share your thoughts and

suggestions with the people who count. Offer love and affection, not criticism. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Do your own thing and follow your dream. You will meet new friends if you participate in an event that deals with something you know little about. Take a chance to enrich your life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Listen to others, but be careful how you respond. Now is not the time to start a war. Put off seeking a solution until you have time to go over the facts and figures. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Put more into your important friendships. The bonds you have with others will make a difference in the quality of your life. Caring, sharing and teamwork will bring you the greatest joy. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Use your imagination to find a viable solution to your financial problems. A service or skill you have can be turned into a second income with a little ingenuity.

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 LISTEN CLOSELY TO THE BIDDING Wilson Mizner, a playwright, raconteur and entrepreneur who died in 1933, said, “Not only is a good listener popular everywhere, but after a while he gets to know something.” A good listener at the bridge table is popular with his partner, but less so with his opponents. And he immediately gets to know something. Yesterday, I recommended not being deaf to the auction. This deal is another example. South gets into four spades after East opens three clubs in the third position. West starts off with three top hearts, East playing high-low to show his doubleton, then discarding the club king (top of touching

honors as he cannot win the trick). West shifts to a low club. How should South continue? When entering the auction after an opponent opens with a pre-empt, assume partner has six or seven high-card points. That makes South’s four-spade overcall a slight overbid. If he had settled for three spades, which would have been an underbid, North would probably have raised because he had so many trumps. West thought about sacrificing in five clubs, but was dissuaded by the unfavorable vulnerability. Note that five clubs doubled should go down three, minus 800. South won the fourth trick with his club ace and cashed the spade ace. Now he had

to find the diamond queen to make his contract. The bidding gave the answer. West had already shown up with five hearts to the ace-kingqueen-jack. If he had had the diamond queen as well, he would have opened one heart, not passed, as dealer. South should finesse through East for the diamond queen.

Walking: it’s easy and it works

hanksgiving is done and gone and whether we like it or not we are

on our way into winter. The snow bunnies are packing and getting ready for that Pat Black winter migration south and the snow lovers and skiers are getting into shape in anticipation of that first real snow fall and the joys of winter. Some of us, not so much, as we anticipate the slipping and sliding to come on unsteady limbs and the worry of snow shoveling. But don’t despair, as a great resource is the Snow Buddies program at Nexus Seniors Service. Volunteers are available to shovel snow if you need help. Their number is 250-5458572. Post it on your fridge for that first snow fall.

personal best

Some of you may not know that Dayle Drury, longtime manager of the Seniors Information Bureau, has left Vernon and moved on to Oliver to become the coordinator of Integrated Care Service at Interior Health. Dayle has been a valued support for many seniors in Vernon through the years and she will be sorely missed. Always empathetic, always caring and willing to go the extra mile for anyone in need, she has been a great resource for so many seniors. We wish Dayle the best of good fortune and thank her sincerely for her many years of service to seniors and their families. Bon voyage, Dayle. Schubert Centre’s Meals on Wheels is looking for volunteers to deliver meals to seniors in the Vernon area from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. There are five routes at this time and the length of time to deliver varies between 30 and 45 minutes. This requires 10 people,

with one volunteer to stay with the vehicle and one to take the meals in. The volunteer would not have to commit for an entire period, it could be several volunteers, as long as all the shifts are covered. Your help would be much appreciated as the need is great. There is no one to help in November, which consists of 12 delivery days, and next year is wide open. Call Deanna Toparchak at 250-542-9229 or Nancy Hadley at 250-260-7777 to volunteer. Remember, volunteering is a two-way street. The giver gives to others but also gets back so much in satisfaction and self respect. The July 2013 University of California, Berkeley Wellness Letter described a recent study in the journal Clinical Rehabilitation that involved participants with low back pain who exercised twice a week either by walking briskly on a treadmill or doing strength-training exercises in a clinic. Each group worked

up to 40 minutes per exercise sessions. After six weeks, both groups had similar reductions in pain and disability. The good news is that walking is an accessible, low-cost and easy-to-do exercise for most people. Fortunately for us we have the Kal Tire Centre to walk in when the weather is bad. Also, walking has also been shown to lower your diabetes risk according to the Duke Medicine Health News. A study out of the University of Washington followed 1,800 walkers over five years and found that those who walked the most were 29 per cent less likely to develop diabetes than those who walked the least. Participants were followed for five years. As the lead author suggested, increased physical activity may prevent weight gain and promote weight loss, a major determinant of diabetes risk. If you have any comments or questions e-mail: blackmail1@ telus.net or call 250-542-7928.

B.C. notaries share resources for seniors VANCOUVER — The Society of Notaries Public of BC is sharing a few helpful resources, tips and links for seniors, and the many British Columbian boomers who are approaching their golden years. “Today’s seniors have played an important role in building our country and province and we appreciate and celebrate their valuable role in our communities,” said Akash Sablok, president of the Society of Notaries Public of BC and a Vancouver notary. “In recognition of this contribution, there are a number of supports such as tax credits available to people over 65 that not everyone is aware of, or accessing.” Tax credits available to seniors include: B.C. Seniors’ Home Renovation Tax Credit — available to people over 65 to assist with the cost of certain permanent home renovations to improve accessibility

or help with functionality or mobility. Disability Tax Credit — available to anyone who has a “severe or prolonged physical or mental impairment,” including those with macular degeneration, dementia or other age-related conditions. Homeowner Grant — homeowners 65 or older may be eligible for additional property tax reductions. This is intended to help low-income seniors allay financial hardship, as their home may have increased substantially in value resulting in increased taxes. “If you’re a senior or have senior parents, it’s worthwhile to learn more about these tools,” said Laurie Salvador, a notary in Sidney. “It’s not uncommon that people aren’t aware of all the supports they’re entitled to and, as notaries who frequently work with seniors, we see this too often.”

Other tools and tips that can help seniors include medical alert services that enable seniors to summon help if they have a medical or other emergency — even if they can’t speak — and ensuring healthcare planning documents are up-todate and valid. “Many seniors have advance care planning documents designating how they want their healthcare to be managed if they can’t speak for themselves, or designating someone as a decision-maker,” said Kristy Martin, a Victoria notary. “These documents can become outdated or, in some cases, weren’t prepared properly and are therefore invalid. It’s critically important to have a legal professional such as a notary review your planning documents to ensure they will fulfill their intended purpose.”

Helping the community Vernon For over 85 years the Vernon Rotary Club has contributed money and labour to international and community activities. Kindale Developmental Association This year’s sponsored activities include a $5,000 major donation to Kindale, a non-profit society located in Armstrong that provides a wide range of services to people with developmental and other disabilities throughout the North Okanagan. “Kindale began in 1959 as a small school for children with special needs and has since grown into a large and diverse organization serving 130 consumers in the communities of Armstrong, Vernon, Cherryville, Enderby and Lumby,” said Executive Director ‘B’ Elliott at the cheque presentation by the Vernon Rotary Club. Rotary’s emphasis has changed over the years, from small donations for annual operating expenses to larger capital expenditures for sustainable projects. Our donation to Kindale this year is to aid in the capital project that the association has undertaken on its building. Vernon Women’s Transition Society For a number of years, the Transition House

in Vernon has been the recipient of funds from the Vernon Rotary. This year it has committed $ 1,500 for a total $3,000. Also, Rotarians will be laboring on the current project to refurbish the house. “Rotarians will tear down and rebuild a bedroom to be called “Rotary Room,” said Brooke McLardy, VWTS Program Director. The room will be used by women and children. About Rotary International We are neighbors, community leaders, and global citizens uniting for the common good. With you, we can accomplish even more. • Explore Rotary clubs The heart of Rotary is our clubs—dedicated people who share a passion for both community service and friendship. • Develop leadership skills Whether you’re a student or starting your career, there are many ways Rotary can help you become a better leader. • Join a project Change your community with us by volunteering on a local project. • Partner with us We work with groups of all sizes to accomplish even more.

Enderby runner plans Mabel Lake marathon Morning Star Staff

A marathon runner herself, Patricia Cech (pronounced Check) is organizing a new, fall run in the North Okanagan. The Cech It Out Marathon is slated for Sunday, Nov. 2, starting at 8 a.m. from the Mabel Lake Golf Course parking lot. “I’m trying to kick off a marathon that would benefit any runner in the vicinity that’s interested in a fall marathon, and one that’s pretty close,” said Cech, owner of Curves in Armstrong. “I ran this route last fall and I’ve run 15 marathons in total – including this one – and it’s an incredible route, so perfect. Runners are going to like this one.” Runners wil basically run back to Enderby along Enderby-Mabel Lake Road which is all along the Shuswap River. Cech expects traffic to be minimal as “all the holiday folks have gone home.” Cech has added on some miles by taking a detour down Brash Allen Road which happens when runners are almost back to Enderby. “There’s a fivek route we do right in Enderby which is pretty neat in itself because it’s down the River Walk and winds through Enderby,” said Cech. “We end up at the Enderby Chamber where there will be

room to change, get warm and eat; all that good stuff.” The event can be

shared by two runners with each runner doing a half-marathon. Cech said she is

working on an entry fee of approximately $35 with proceeds going to a fundraising cause for

Enderby and area communities. Volunteers and, of course, runners are

Vernon Christian School Grade 12 students Stephanie McLeod (left), Zac Dubland, Jaimie Botteril, Jo Mitchell, Ally Armstrong, Vanessa Major and Cody Boe help tie rebar for the new sports courts at the school.

Students get closer to hitting the sports courts Morning Star Staff

Its been a year of fundraising for the students and this past September the earth started shaking at Vernon Christian School as the site crew began breaking ground for the new sports courts. Last year the green light was given to start raising funds for three outdoor sports courts, which include two volleyball sand courts and a multi purpose hard top court. “We see great opportunity with the addition of the court space for our students and the greater community,” said Corinne Remple, marketing and communications coordinator at Vernon Christian School. “We see expansion for PE programs, recreational play space

for students and school events and opportunity to host community sporting events.” Volunteer labour has assisted in extending the dollars raised as far as they can go. “We had almost 30 volunteers out here the day we had to get the rebar tied and the site prepped for the cement,” said Remple. “Thanks to many volunteer hours and generously reduced rates from local businesses we are making excellent progress — from dirt to cement in less than a month!” North Valley Contracting, Shepherds Hardware, Westridge Quarries, Predator Concrete Pumping Limited, M&K Ready Mix, Corix, Norval Rentals and Mark Kehoe and crew are just a few companies/people

VCS would like to recognize for sharpening their pencils and being generous with the cost of their labour and materials. The students, parents and staff are in the final stages of their fundraising efforts, but it has been an uphill climb to raise the final $15,000 needed to complete the courts. “There seems to be a misguided assumption that we are a private school attended largely by affluent families, so it has been hard to secure government/community grants,” said Remple. “The cost of educating a student at VCS is greater than the revenue generated by tuition and government grants. “Securing partnership is therefore essential to our school to complete projects like

this one or stay current with technology, even capital upgrades like roofs, playgrounds or siding at times have depended on gifts from our supporters.” In September the school started to “sell” squares to help finance the project, with the goal to sell 400 squares at $50 each. To date, 92 squares have been sold. Each “purchase” is a 100 per cent tax receiptable donation. People wishing to support this project are asked to visit www.vcs.ca and use the donate now button at the top right corner of any website page. Donations can also be sent by mail or dropped off at the school. For personal attention, contact Remple at 250-545-7345 ext. 15 or by e-mail at cremple@vcs.ca.

There is no shame in asking for help

s a parent I received some very good advice from other parents, including my mother, colleagues and from workshop presenters. I always enjoyed attending classes on parenting although initially I was cautious as I thought “I should know this.” It is an interesting idea that because we are parents that some of us believe that automatically makes us an expert or that we should instinctively be able to handle the multitude of scenarios and challenges that come our way as parents. But we parents know better. The adults who don’t have children know Michele Blais best until they have children, or marry someone with children. Then like the rest of us they learn that there are many ways to raise a child, no two children are the same, even if they have the same parents and same home. And who would want that? I like the uniqueness of each of my sons. One of the enjoyable and grounding aspects of attending a

The Way I see IT

parenting workshop on, let’s say, raising a spirited child, is that the room is full of parents with the same questions and concerns. There is also a class full of wisdom and experiences that the parents have to share which can be a bonus to the instructor’s knowledge. Often, parent classes involve discussions with parents sharing experiences, and you realize there is lots to learn and also enjoy the affirmation you are fine! During the years I attended some small group sessions over a few weeks, other times I took classes at the college and lots of one-day or one-evening workshops. I took great notes while listening to Barbara Coloroso and Gabor Maté, and many others. I learned about the importance of raising responsible children, communication skills, discipline that is responsible for all; self-esteem; and the tremendous joy of being a mom and having a family. Healthy love goes a long way! What is important to parents in supporting them attending groups or workshops is flexible times, some daytime, evenings or weekends. Child care concerns and cost are considerations, and make sure the topics are relevant. There are a variety of family supports within Vernon and if you want to check out the various services in this

area the Crisis Line has all of them on their website at www.peopleinneed.ca The CMHA Vernon website also has the most up-to date for all community services in the area. In addition to the classes, I learned from conversations with other parents, some were friends, others colleagues, some of them parents I spoke to while we pushed our children on the Lakeview Park swing set. One mom in this situation gave me great advice on helping my son settle into a bed time routine that worked great, for awhile. And then I tried another parent. While driving singer Michelle Wright to Vernon to perform a concert many years ago as a fundraiser for the Family Resource Centre, I described to her the various programs provided and she was very impressed. She shared with me her own story of struggles and challenges and being in a good place. That night she shared her story with the audience and I will always remember her last line, “There is no shame in asking for help.” This is so true, whether this is for your parenting, your relationship, your substance use, your health, your mental health, your own challenges. Ask, and then ask again.

A school librarian for 20 years, Wilf Pauls knows what children like in a book. With the launch of his third book, Fweddy The Wed Fwog Pwince, Pauls, a resident of Enderby, is thrilled with the positive feedback he has received from the classes to whom he has read the book. The book introduces a frog who can’t pronounce the letter R and gets teased as a result. The story follows Fweddy’s journey as he deals with his problems finding friends and using humour along the way. Pauls taps into his experiences as a teacher, librarian and principal in the Armstrong, Salmon Arm, Yukon Territory, West Germany and Democratic Republic of Congo. “I am a story guy. I would teach a unit and always make up stories to go along with it,” he said. “This book came from a frog unit I was doing.” The book evolved with the idea of playing with words and took off from there. The illustrations are a large part of what brings a children’s story together and were created by his cousin, Myron

Local soldiers on in acclaimed performance Vernon’s Mik Byskov puts his drama training to use playing a soldier with a harrowing story in Armstrong’s War Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

As Arts Club Theatre is about to arrive in Vernon with the high-flying and lighthearted play, Boeing Boeing, the company has just opened the world premiere of serious drama, Armstrong’s War, in Vancouver. Written by Colleen Murphy, the play opened to a full house at Arts Club’s Revue Stage Wednesday, and is generating rave reviews from the Vancouver media. Accolades are coming in for the young male who plays a soldier haunted by his past. That actor happens to be from Vernon. At age 23, Mik Byskov is making his Vancouver stage debut as Michael, a soldier not too much younger than himself, who has been injured in Afghanistan. In the play, Michael relays the horrors of what he has experienced when a 12-year-old Pathfinder (in the other acclaimed performance by Matreya Scarrwener) volunteers to read stories to him. “In terms of handling the emotions Michael is dealing with, the script was amazingly supportive,” Byskov told The Morning Star via e-mail Friday before he was to go on stage again that night. “I cried the first five times I read it because it was just so touching to me.” To prepare for the role, Byskov, who attended École Beairsto Elementary and graduated from the French immersion program at W.L. Seaton Secondary in 2008, researched the war in Afghanistan and watched movies such as Restrepo, which he says helped him with its intense moments of emotion. Byskov says he received guidance from Armstrong’s War director Mindy Parfit to lock into the hard-boiled military side of Michael, and also visited the British Columbia Regiment (The Duke of Connaught’s Own) in downtown Vancouver, where he spoke with a soldier who had been in Afghanistan.

Vernon’s mik Byskov, right, with matreya scarrwener, stars in Armstrong’s War currently staging at arts Club theatre in Vancouver. “Even though, in his own words, he had never really felt in danger in his specific posting, he had some incredible stories to tell and they really helped to make it more real for me,” said Byskov. The stage may never have been an option for the young actor if not for the insistence of Byskov’s former Seaton drama teacher, Dave Brotsky. “He suggested I audition for a part in the play The Snow Child the first week I started Grade 8,” recalled Byskov. “They needed Grade 12s to play the parents and younger students to play the children. I’d always sort of thought about acting but I was way too nervous about auditioning.” The day after the auditions, Byskov says Brotsky approached him and asked why he didn’t try out. “He said I did good work in class and

should come to the callbacks that afternoon. Nervous and afraid, I tried to make up an excuse and said that I’d have to call my mom to arrange to pick me up later, and it would be a big hassle. Brotsky just looked me dead in the eye and said, ‘I have a phone in my office.’” Needless to say, Byskov’s mom, Diana, was ecstatic and insisted her son audition even after Byskov had left Brotsky’s office to call her back and plead otherwise. “I ended up going to the audition and getting the part. I had the best time of my life and absolutely fell in love with the theatre. I can honestly say that morning shaped the rest of my high school experience and life to date,” he said. Besides acting in school theatre and at the Good Will Shakespeare Festival in Summerland, Byskov performed in the one-

act play, The Whole Shebang, by Rich Orloff, directed by Jim Elderton, at Powerhouse Theatre. His theatrical experience extended to the summer of 2010, when he conducted mural tours for the Downtown Vernon Association. “I’m so thankful to have grown up in a place that let me discover this passion of mine and that set me up to pursue it,” he said. After graduating high school, Byskov went on to study theatre at the University of Victoria, and also worked in the Legislative Assembly’s Parliamentary Players Program before moving to Vancouver. After a lot of auditioning, he was offered the role of Michael one year exactly to the day after his convocation ceremony at UVic. “One of my acting teachers at UVic, Fran Gebhard, used to always say that it is much more interesting to watch someone fighting back tears than it is to see someone bawl on cue and I really tried to keep that in mind while I built this character,” he said. “It was a tough thing to get into, but when everything comes together, I try to focus on the moment to moment and just tell my story to Halley (Scarrwener) and that’s usually what ends up feeling the most real for me.” He also had to get a little Hugh Jackman for the role, bulking up at the gym as originally Michael’s first scene in the play is shirtless. “Naturally, I think I am the furthest thing from a tough soldier. Things like my voice, the way I carry my body... I’ve lost almost 20 pounds and gained a lot of muscle, which also changes the way you hold yourself. All in all, it helped me build the rougher exterior struggling to contain and deal with the emotional undercurrent,” he said. All that preparation has been worth the effort as Colin Thomas from The Georgia Strait had this to say in his review of Armstrong’s War: “Plainspoken and emotionally tortured, Michael inhabits a more readily recognizable reality, which Byskov gets seamlessly right... Word by word and moment by moment, I believed everything that Byskov’s Michael said and did.” For those visiting Vancouver, Armstrong’s War continues at the Arts Club Revue Stage until Nov. 9.

Say oui, oui, oui when Arts Club flies into Vernon with Boeing Boeing Morning Star Staff

With rave reviews being given to Arts Club Theatre’s current production of Armstrong’s War, starring Vernonraised actor Mik Byskov, the Vancouver theatre company is coming to Vernon with its other hit from 2013, Boeing Boeing. Celebrating its 50th season, the largest theatre company in Western Canada is bringing mile-high laughs with this French-penned play, which stages at the Performing Arts Centre for one night only, Thursday, Nov. 7 at 7:30 p.m. The second of five plays in the VPAC society’s 2013/14 theatre series, Boeing Boeing comes on the heels of Arts Club’s sold-out Vernon performances of Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story and A Closer Walk With Patsy Cline. While the play itself was originally written more than 50 years ago by playwright Marc Camoletti, Boeing Boeing is just as entertaining today, said director David Mackay. “The structure of this farce puts the characters in comic situations that remain ludicrously funny today. For all our incredible social and technological advancements made over the past 50 years, a good farce can exemplify that quality in human nature that for every step forward

there’s a banana peel to take us two steps back,” he said. The European equivalent to Neil Simon’s Last of the Red Hot Lovers, Boeing Boeing is set in swinging ‘60s Paris, and is a farcical play about lies, love, and relationships. It follows Bernard, a successful architect who is even more successful with the ladies. In fact, he juggles the hearts of three airline hostesses who jet in and out of his groovy bachelor pad: Gloria, Gabriella and Gretchen, aka “America,” “Italy,” and “Germany,” work for different airlines, and are kept apart by the precision of the airline timetable. However, when Boeing introduces a faster jet, Bernard’s three fiancés invariably end up at his apartment at the same time, and his precise romantic timetable descends into chaos. With its cast of over-the-top characters and broad physical comedy, Boeing Boeing offers a hysterical evening of theatrical farce for those not expecting a profound message or moral statement. It is simply drôle. Tickets for Boeing Boeing are $45/adult, $42/senior, $40/student at the Ticket Seller box office. Call 250-5497469 or order online at www.ticketseller.ca.

More treat than trick

’ll be carving my annual jack-o-lantern today in honour of this wonderfully spooky time of year. Once the Halloween decorations get packed away for another year, I’ll start watching in anticipation for the snow line to gently descend from the Brian van Wensem highest of mountains to the valley bottom as its time to usher in my favourite season. Whether you’ll greet winter’s arrival with a smile or a frown, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to get indoors and ward off the seasonal chill as fantastic performances are everywhere you look in this busy time of year: One of the biggest dance events of the year is fast approaching next Sunday, Nov. 3 as Alberta Ballet brings more than 30 dancers to stage for Fumbling Towards Ecstasy.

Centre Point

It’s a project of Canadian music icon Sarah McLachlan who worked with Alberta Ballet’s Jean Grand-Maitre to choreograph this ballet set to McLachlan’s own catalogue. Chart topping hits, including Building a Mystery, Hold On, and Angel, are paired with stunning movement to beautifully portray a woman’s life from first romantic encounter to mature love. Show time is at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are still available through the Ticket Seller by calling 250-549-SHOW (7469). Powerhouse Theatre’s murderous fall show starts up Wednesday, Nov. 6. Deathtrap still holds the record for the longest running comedy-thriller on Broadway and it’s a performance packed with sinister twists and turns throughout. This play within a play runs most nights through to Nov. 16 starting at 7:30 p.m. with Saturday and Sunday matinees starting at 2 p.m. Vancouver’s Arts Club Theatre Company is back on the Performing Arts Centre’s stage Nov. 7 with their fun and

frisky production of Boeing Boeing. This farce tells the story of Bernard, a successful architect living in his swinging ‘60s Paris bachelor pad. He juggles the hearts of three air hostesses, meticulously kept apart by the precision of airline schedules. As you can expect, this sort of planning can’t last forever. Watch the crazy antics unfold through broad physical comedy that’s easy to enjoy. Call the Ticket Seller at 549SHOW (7469) for your tickets. The Kalamalka Highlanders Pipe Band and the Arran Campbell Memorial Youth Pipe Band are hosting an all singing, all dancing night of Celtic Revival on Nov. 9. They’ll be joined on stage by Shuswap Pipes and Drums, Kilt 45, Scottish Country Dancers, Piper Clog Dancers, djembe drummers for a night of Scottish humour, poetry and a kitchen ceilidh.

These tales will haunt

eople are drawn to horror stories in much the same way as they are to the chaotic scene of a major car wreck. It is a terrible attraction that most people find impossible to not take at least a fleeting glimpse of the crash scene. The most compelling tales of horror are equally hard to resist and Joe Hill’s NOS4A2 (2013) is a perfect example. This story slides you along as if you’re driving too fast in a rusty old wreck of a car on a dark, twisty road, with bald tires, no lights and hardly any brakes. Victoria McQueen, otherwise known as the Brat, discovers she has the singular knack of finding lost things by focusing on the object in question while riding her bike, a Raleigh Tuff Burner. She is subtly carried away into a world that appears to be real as her own, accessed by the Shorter Way Bridge, a gateway that ceases to exist as soon as Victoria crosses back into our world with the found object. Victoria does not understand her abilities and as she grows older she happens upon a woman with a bag of Scrabble game tiles she uses to divine answers The

to questions such as the ones Victoria asks. But the woman’s answers are less than satisfactory and it appears Victoria may well be in for some harrowing moments, particularly with Charles Manx. Manx is the villain of the piece and arrives from a place called Christmasland, an astounding amusement park full of possibilities with as much light and happiness as a dark, stone prison cell. The Ocean at the End of the Lane (2013) by Neil Gaiman is a “slim and magical feat of storytelling genius” according to a recent review in The Library Journal. The protagonist, an artist, returns to his childhood home in the English countryside to recover his memory of events that nearly destroyed him and his family. At that formative time the suicide of a stranger opened a gate for a murderous spirit who disguised

in a poor neighborhood outside the wall constructed around the uninhabited city wasteland. Life is difficult and challenging for the widow, especially one saddled with a ruinous reputation. But she and her son Zeke are surviving, at least until Zeke impulsively decides that he must redeem his father’s reputation. The Queen of Spades (1834) is a classic tale of terror by Alexandr Pushkin, one of the great Russian writers. It is a psychologically complex short story that probably still remains unsurpassed in all of Russian fiction. Hermann, an ethnic German, is an officer in the Imperial Russian Army. He always watches other officers gamble but never plays himself. One evening a fellow officer, Tomsky, tells him about his grandmother, an elderly countess, who lost a fortune at cards and won it back with the secret of three winning cards. Hermann, obsessed with learning the secret, confronts the 87-year-old countess and demands she tells him. She refuses, he brandishes his pistol to scare her and she dies of fright. When

he attends the funeral of the countess, and passes by the coffin, he is terrified when the countess opens her eyes and steadily gazes at him. Later that night the ghost of the countess appears before a shaken Hermann and she imparts the secret of the three winning cards. Hermann takes his entire savings to a salon where wealthy men play for high stakes. All these titles and more are available at your Okanagan Regional Library www. orl.bc.ca.

herself as a housekeeper. The evil spirit won over the boy’s sister and mother, seduced his father and marked the boy for death if he ever told anyone the truth. The plot rapidly evolves from reminiscent to scary to lifethreatening and the protagonist, the anonymous narrator of the story, seeks the help of a warm and welcoming family of witches at a neighboring farm to combat the evil forces that are unleashed by his return. Boneshaker (2009) by Cherie Priest is a novel written for the young adult audience. But it is an immensely entertaining tale that will entertain adult readers of all ages. Zombies, steampowered technology, airships, pirates and mad scientists are all elements of the tightlycrafted story and the characters are as compelling as the intriguing plot. Mad scientist Leviticus Blue creates a machine that accidentally decimates Seattle’s banking district and unearths a vein of blight gas that turns everyone who breathes into the living dead.

brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist

Morning Star Staff

On Nov. 16, scores of budding authors will gather at all four Okanagan College campuses to test their writing talents in the fourth annual Three-Hour Short Story Contest. Open to students in Grades 11 and 12, and to all current Okanagan College students, contestants are given 180 minutes to create an original literary piece that incorporates a word, phrase, or object revealed at the start of contest. “Having the surprise element meant I couldn’t plan. I went in cold, and got to really see what I can do. It was fun,” said last year’s winner Samantha Wex. Five prizes are up for grabs. Each campus declares a regional winner who receives a $250 Okanagan College tuition credit. A grand prize winner is then selected from among the four regional winners and awarded an additional $250 tuition credit plus a chapbook publication of their story created by Okanagan College writing and publishing diploma program students and Kalamalka Press. Registration is free. Visit www.okanagan. bc.ca/3hourwriting to sign up before Nov. 15

During a stay in hospital, your medications may be changed and some older medications may be stopped. It’s important to be sure to not take these medications when you get home. Part of our job as your pharmacist is to be a final check to ensure this transition from hospital to home occurs smoothly. Many admissions to hospital are due to a medication problem … not taking them properly, taking too much or too little or due to a drug interaction. Having a complete record of your medications helps us to ensure you’re taking your medications correctly and safely. A vasectomy is still one of the best birth control methods. A minor operation using a local anaesthetic, it involves severing the tubes that carry sperm from the testes to the penis. The operation doesn’t result in immediate sterility so alternate birth control methods should still be used. No sexual difficulties result from the operation however it doesn’t protect against sexually-transmitted diseases. We’ve mentioned the “polypill” in this column in the past. It’s a drug delivery system that combines four drugs in one pill for patients with heart disease. The pill contains ASA, a cholesterol-lowering drug and one or two blood pressure-lowering drugs. It’s a way of ensuring the patient gets all the medication needed to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. Not on the market yet, but perhaps soon. Understanding how a drug works and its importance to your health will help you remember to take them correctly. We can help.

Johnson adopts regional vision GRAEME CORBETT Business Editor

Like many North Okanagan transplants, Adrian Johnson moved to Vernon for the lifestyle, and to raise a family. The father of three-year-old daughter Isla, and newborn son Jasper, Johnson doesn’t have to look far to find the motivation to try and make the region a better place to live. As the newly elected Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce president, he is well-positioned to do just that. “If you look around Vernon, many people see their kids leave when they graduate from high school,” said Johnson, originally from the U.K. He and wife Kelly moved to Vernon from Smithers three years ago. “They find it very difficult to find a job in Vernon that leads to a good career path. At the moment, the people that are able to achieve that are the lucky ones. “I would like very much for my kids to be able to hang around here until I’m very, very old.” Johnson, who is on paternity leave as senior manager at KPMG’s Vernon office, has volunteered for other non-profit organizations, but is relatively new to the chamber scene. He — Adrian said the experience has been a bit of an eye-opener. “The role is less easy to define,” he said. “It’s everything from arranging events all the way to political lobbying and trying to advocate for certain policies. It requires quite a range of certain skills and personalities.” Many of those skills – including marketing, finance, HR and communications – and personalities are provided by the ever-evolving chamber board and officers. Joining Johnson are vice-president Jaron Chasca, secretary-treasurer Debbie Stoddard, past-president Ingrid Dilischneider and directors Marlene Higgins, Bill Hubbard, Markus Schrott, Matthew Davidson, Dauna Grant, Rob Tedham, Andrew Powell, Tracy Cobb and Caroline Radics. “We’ve got a great board,” said Johnson. “Over the past couple of years, we’ve taken steps to make

sure we have a broad range of skills which represent everything from small business through to big business. And also the broad range of skills necessary to run an effective organization.” In order for the community to thrive, Johnson said it first needs to reach a critical mass in order to support a multitude of career paths. And it needs to grow strategically. He sees evidence of the latter with bigger businesses like Kal Tire, Tolko and Nixon Wenger setting up their corporate headquarters in town. Part of the chamber’s strategy for achieving critical mass includes supporting a referendum for the unification of Greater Vernon, including Coldstream and surrounding electoral areas, into one governing body. “Our economy is no longer distinctly Vernon and Coldstream,” said Johnson. “Our economy is regional, and for effective decision making, governance should also be at a broader level.” Vernon (1892) and Coldstream (1906) were incorporated more than a century ago, and back then, Johnson said it made sense for them to operate as separate entities. But with so much overlap between the economies, he believes there is tremendous potential for cost savings and efficiency through Johnson amalgamation. “Even when the chamber was formed in 1961, over 50 years ago, it was clear to the business community that we needed a body that encompassed the whole area to be effective,” he said. “Back then, the geographical boundaries made sense. Now, they don’t.” Johnson would also like to see Vernon improve its brand, and promote itself better to outside markets. Given what it has to offer, he said it is definitely achievable. “You have great connections to North America through Kelowna Airport. We’ve got lots of people that want to live here and we’ve got great skills available through UBC (Okanagan). It’s a tremendous environment to be in. “It needs to be driven by the business community and people need to buy into that brand for it to be accepted.”

“Back then, regional boundaries made sense. Now, they don’t.”

Programs promoting quality of life for trades workers Morning Star Staff

A recent report published by Anielski Management demonstrates the B.C. Construction Association’s (BCCA) Skilled Trades Employment Program (STEP) delivers both a positive quality-of-life impact for skilled workers, and a timely return on taxpayer dollars. Mark Anielski, author of The Economics of Happiness: Building Genuine Wealth, is

an expert in the field of the economics of well-being and happiness. He conducted an independent assessment of the economic well-being impacts of BCCA programs to help construction employers to source jobready workers. The programs are demanddriven, providing customized assistance to B.C. employers, while supporting candidates who demonstrate a fit for the trades. On the $7.55 million invested in STEP,

Anielski calculated an economic return of $8.17 million in annual income tax benefits to government, and a reduction of income assistance payments of $1.11 million, for a total societal benefit of $9.28 million. That return on investment occurred over less than 10 months. “By March 2014, STEP’s programs will have placed roughly 7,000 British Columbians into skilled trades jobs,” said

Manley McLachlan, BCCA president. “Our team makes 6,000 points of contact each year with B.C. construction employers. With more than 50 staff in the field, we are operating the most connected, effective HR program in the industry.” The BuildForce Canada report Construction Looking Forward predicts a shortfall of 30,500 skilled workers in B.C. by 2021.

Money tips for travellers

t’s always exciting to go on a holiday. There is so much to do when getting prepared – packing, deciding your itinerary, making sure your passport is up to date. But one thing holiday-goers don’t necessarily think about is keeping their credit and money safe when they travel. Unfortunately, crooks don’t take a holiday and they are always ready to take advantage of a less-than-careful tourist. Here are some tips to keep your money safe and credit intact while you’re away. n Only carry the money and plastic you need when Kathi Bridge you’re away. Leave all the extra cards in a safe place at home. Always ensure your money and cards are stored safely in your pocket or purse. Keep the receipts of purchases made on your credit card and compare amounts when you receive the bill to ensure it is accurate. n Another reason to keep all your receipts is that you can get back the taxes you spent depending where you are. The Value-Added Tax (VAT) in Europe is one of the taxes you can claim. There are usually forms at the airport when you are heading home. Check the policy for return of taxes in the country you are visiting. n Let the bank know you are going on holidays if you are travelling outside of Canada. This is twofold – sometimes banks will block transactions made in a foreign country because it may

GUEST COLUMN

be fraudulent. Although this is a great move if it was a fraudulent transaction, it would be a real inconvenience if it was actually you attempting to purchase that perfect gift to bring home. n While you are at the bank, ask how much the fee is to take money from the ATM in the country you are going to. Also find out what the daily limit is on spending money in your account to ensure it is enough. Use your debit card only at ATMs and cash or credit cards at restaurants and shops. Unlike the credit card companies, the banks might not necessarily replace the money stolen from your bank account if someone takes your debit card and manages to steal your PIN. n Do not advertise to all your Facebook friends and other social media that you will be away. Everyone will know when your house will be empty and thieves could take advantage of this fact. Save the photos for when you get back to post on Facebook, and let everyone know what a great trip it was. n When shopping or using an ATM, always ensure privacy when entering your PIN number into the pad. Only use your cards with reputable retailers, and use cash for making purchases at markets and local vendors. Doing these items will help ensure your money is safe and that there are no surprises waiting for you at the destination of your dreams. Bon Voyage.

Ghosts dwell on the islands cherie thiessen Special To The Morning Star

B.C. - October is a haunted month. Gulf Islanders know that ghosts are drawn to their shores, so when the nights close in and the fogs and mists and drizzle wrap themselves around the coast, you’ll find most islanders indoors after dusk. They know about the haunted yew tree on South Pender Island that witnessed murder most foul and still reluctantly harbors the murder weapon. They’ve heard the cries of a drowning sailor rising eerily from a long ago shipwreck

near Mayne Island that seems fated to repeat itself over and over. They’ve experienced inexplicable feelings of isolation, depression and fear when visiting D’Arcy, the island of lepers. These unquiet waters and troubled spirits seem to loom larger in October. South Pender Island The haunted yew The beauty, serenity and luxury of Poets Cove conceal a ghostly secret. That inviting white shell beach at the resort’s waterfront was once a gory murder

scene. Over two hundred years ago Bedwell Harbour was a sheltered anchorage for European schooners. Two sailors from such a ship pursued a young native woman here. They caught her near a yew tree, assaulting and brutally murdering her, using oarlocks and then driving the bloody weapons into the yew’s trunk. Since then, the area around the tree has been frequented by an otherworldly presence: a glowing figure, a strange mist, the sound of bare feet running, moans, and an invisible hand that touches the unwary visitor’s shoulder. The yew tree, revered by many ancient mythologies, is said to be more than 1,000

years old. It stands as mute witness, the oarlocks still embedded in its trunk. More chilling still, when Poets Cove was excavating the area for its resort, the bodies of a woman and a child were actually found under the tree. They were left there. Mayne Island - The Wreck of the Zephyr The Salish Sea has a long history of marine tragedies, so perhaps it’s no surprise that Mayne Island’s shores echo with past cries of distress. On Feb. 13, 1872, a snowstorm struck a three-masted sailing vessel, the S.S. Zephyr. It foundered on a reef and sank between David Cove and Edith Point near Mayne’s north coast, drowning

two of its crew. The wreckage was the first to be designated an historic wreck. Its rusted anchor and part of the cargo, a sandstone column from Newcastle Island headed for the construction of the San Francisco mint, still stand in front of Mayne’s tiny museum in Miners Bay. Once a jail, it’s now a spot best avoided on an October evening. So is Campbell Bay, close to where the Zephyr went down. This beautiful beach by day can become a nightmare on some stormy nights, when the sounds of a sinking ship and the cries from its occupants can be heard near where the ship went down. D’Arcy, the island of graves Nobody visits D’Arcy more than once. Erik Paulsson, there to make a documentary film on the forgotten lepers, recalls getting off the boat and feeling a chill run through his body. Most visitors feel the same foreboding: the island is not welcoming, even less so back in 1894 when it became a leper colony for Chinese immigrants.

Sad story to D-Arcy Island Continued from previous page

Forty-nine miserable, ailing castaways were marooned on D’Arcy until 1924, living in a sixunit row house with their only contact being a supply boat that came four times a year to bring opium, food, and coffins. Several of the 18 lepers who died here committed suicide. Nothing remains of that dreary settlement now. The rotting buildings were burned to the ground when the island became a marine park in 1961 and the location of their unmarked, unvisited graves is kept a secret. However, directly on the other side of the island, the skeleton of the caretaker’s cottage and other concrete structures still molder, lonely monuments to misery. Although the island is beautiful, with several beaches, trails and campsites, few ever take advantage of them. Most overnighters have experienced the same feelings as Paulsson. Why do the Gulf Islands have so many ghosts? Some believe it’s the Salish Sea’s history of shipwrecks and slaughter, others suggest watercourses being fed from Mt. Baker, and the conjunction of forces of energy called ley lines. Whatever the reasons, there are as many tales of the supernatural on the islands as there are shells on the beach. Plan your visits for the daylight hours. Cherie Thiessen is with Travel Writers’ Tales, a travel article syndicate.
