Ban may leave pub treading water RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A Grindrod business says a motorized boat ban on the Shuswap River could leave it high and dry. Chance Temple, owner of the Riverfront Pub, is concerned the Regional District of North Okanagan’s plans for boat restrictions could turn customers away if they can’t access the restaurant by boat. “It’s extremely important to us. It’s a big chunk of business in the summer,” he said. “There are some days when the majority of the business comes from the river.” The proposed regulations for the river include no motorized vessels from south Mabel Lake upstream to Shuswap Falls and from Trinity Valley Road upstream to the eastern end of Skookumchuck Rapids Park. It’s also suggested that there be a vessel engine size limit of 10 horsepower from Mara Lake upstream to Trinity Valley Road. “There’s been no direct consultation with
ment so why don’t we enforce the existing rules?” One of the individuals involved in the process believes it’s important to keep the discussion civil and not divisive. “We’re trying not to get into an argument. We’re not trying to convince people either way,” said Jean Clark, with the Lower Shuswap Stewardship Society. UP “We are in the consultation process and 2015 ACCORD TO † it will play itself out.

TOURISM VERNON PHOTO
Kalamalka Lake in Coldstream is one of the major draws for tourists to Vernon and the North Okanagan.
Tourism funds may expand RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Additional money could be pumped into Vernon tourism marketing but not for a few years. The provincial government has initiated a new program to promote B.C.’s tourism sector, including increasing the maximum municipal hotel room tax from two to three per cent. “There could be an impact for the city but not until 2020 because we just renewed our tax agreement for five years,” Ange Chew said Ange Chew, Vernon’s tourism manager. The province’s tourism events program will support the planning, marketing and organization of events and celebrations
that offer a high tourism value. Events could include arts, cultural or sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup or Canada Winter Games. Chew won’t speculate on whether the Vernon hotel room tax will increase. “Upon 2020, it (increased tax) will be under consideration and we would have a discussion with our accommodation partners about three per cent,” she said. Tourism Vancouver is the first eligible organization to request the room tax increase. It takes effect Sept. 1. “We know hosting events is an important way to grow our tourism sector and the new tourism events program is a great way to build on the successes of the 2010 Winter Olympics, the Canada Winter Games and the FIFA Women’s World Cup,” said Shirley Bond, B.C.’s jobs minister. “These investments mean we can further strengthen our reputation as a world-class event hosting destination and increase the number of visitors to B.C.”
Skydiver rescued RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Emergency personnel were scrambling after a skydiver got caught in power lines Monday. The incident occurred at about 11:46 a.m. when a skydiver was descending but got entangled in power lines and then struck a pole in the 600 block of Tronson Road. “He was hanging about 30 feet from the ground,” said Cpl. Joe Leeson, with the Vernon RCMP. “B.C. Hydro was called and they made the location safe for the skydiver and Vernon Fire Rescue, which was able to extricate the gentleman.” Once on the ground, the skydiver was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for observation. The extent of any injuries is not known. The incident is under investigation.

Paddlers rally for co-worker BARRY GERDING Black Press
What started out as a fun activity to support a local charity has evolved into a lesson in life for staff members of the Kelowna Capital News. Four people had signed on as a team for a paddleboarding fundraiser in support of BrainTrust Canada Sunday at Rotary Beach in Kelowna. But the purpose behind BrainTrust Canada, to educate and fund research about brain injury prevention and recovery, hit home when one of the newspaper’s production staff, Vernon’s Janice Collier, was hit by a vehicle while on a crosswalk on Okanagan Landing Road July 11. Collier, a former Morning Star employee, suffered severe injuries to her knee, pelvis and ankle along with head trauma that caused swelling in her brain. “It was a pretty sombre Monday morning to come looking to get support to paddle to raise money for brain injury prevention only to find one of our colleagues fighting for her life with a severe brain injury,” said Rob Lindsay, a Capital News advertising representative. “It brought home to us the importance of what BrainTrust Canada does. The accident was a random thing for someone to get hit on a crosswalk, but it sure made what we were doing, to raise money for BrainTrust, seem a lot more important. It’s not just a paddle board race for charity anymore. It will have a deeper meaning for all of us.” The fundraising goal is for each team to raise
“It will have a deep meaning for all of us.” — Rob Lindsay
$1,000, which will work out to $250 a paddler. The overall goal of BrainTrust for the event is to raise $50,000. To make a donation, go to www.paddleforprevention.myevent.com/participant/209108. The event kicks off at 8:30 a.m. with a Moksha Yoga warmup, followed by individual and team relays from 9 a.m. to noon. There will be a barbecue put on for participants from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. by sponsors Costco and the Kelowna Sunrise Rotary Club. There will also be other fun family “Twoonie Activities,” face painting and a bouncy house for the kids. The entry fee is $40 per adult and $20 for youth aged 18 and under. The minimum age for participation is seven. There are also significant fundraising incentive prizes at various levels from Costco and the Kelowna Paddle Centre, and a chance to win a round trip for two to any scheduled WestJet destination for those participants who raise $500 or more. For more about this event or brain injury, check out the website braintrustcanada.com.
Blood donors needed to give gift of life Morning Star Staff
The national blood inventory has steadily declined this summer and needs a boost from North Okanagan residents. Canadian Blood Services will hold blood donor clinics at Vernon’s Trinity United Church on Aug. 24 and 25. “Summer is a challenging time for blood collection, when many regular donors are on vacation. This is a great time for new donors to join us and help prevent a further decline in the national inventory,” said Mark Donnison, vice-president of donor relations. “Platelets derived from blood are critical to help
stop bleeding and unfortunately expire just five days after a blood donation.” The Canada Safety Council reports that “more fatalities occur on Canadian roads during summer months than any other time of year.” It can take up to 50 donors to help save someone who has been in a motor vehicle accident. To book an appointment to give blood, use the Give Blood App or visit blood.ca. Those with appointments are encouraged to keep their appointment and, if possible, bring a friend or family member to donate with them. Walk-ins are also welcome, according to Canadian Blood Services.

Drone grounds helicopter at fire Morning Star Staff
Local residents are being warned about the use of drones after an incident at the Shelter Cove wildfire. One helicopter assigned to the Westside Road fire Saturday was forced to land due to a privatelycontrolled drone in the area. Firefighters were able to overcome the lack of air support, but fire information officer Melissa Klassen noted it was still a serious issue.
She explained that aircraft fly at low altitudes over fires, which poses a significant safety risk when there is other air traffic in the area they can’t communicate with. Furthermore, she said it is a huge concern when they can’t provide air support to a wildfire. Crews rely heavily on air support, and halting air operations can limit the progress they make on a fire. Airspace over an active wildfire is restricted and
illegal to fly over in a five nautical mile radius, and Klassen said they worked with RCMP Saturday to determine where the drone came from. The investigation into the drone incident is ongoing. The Shelter Cove fire is about 560 hectares in size and 90 per cent contained, according to the B.C. Wildfire Service. Crews have been working to mop up the perimeter of the fire.

The main road affected will be Apollo, on the upper side of Longacre, with a section in the middle of Apollo remaining untouched.

The affected roads will have barricades and signage. If possible, please access the area from the Apollo Road/Okanagan Landing Road intersection. There will be a day when excavation is required directly in front of you residence. We will do our best to provide driveway access each day.”

Suicide loss prompts support RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The hurt and isolation is overwhelming but there is help for those impacted by suicide. The Canadian Ment a l He a lt h Association is currently taking registrations for its Healing After Suicide Loss support group. “Any loss is difficult but when the loss is due to suicide, people don’t know what to say and you feel very alone,” said Betty Bates, community coach with CMHA’s Bounce Back program. “There is a real need in the community for people who have lost a loved one.” Grief varies among individuals but the more common symptoms include anger, sleeping too much or not enough, the inability to focus, depression, headaches and not being able to stop crying. The support group, which began in 2013, has provided assistance to 15 individuals to date in a safe and non-judgemental environment. “They can share and heal,” said Bates.
“They can share and heal. They heal each other. It’s amazing to watch.” — Betty Bates
“They heal each other. It’s amazing to watch.” Those who attend may have lost a loved one several years ago or it may be a more recent loss. “It is simply when that person feels the need or is ready or seeking this type of support,” said Bates. The goal is to allow the family member or friend to move ahead. “It’s not like there’s closure because there are always unanswered questions,” said Bates. “You never understand why a person chose that path (suicide) but you begin to understand that the person was going through unbearable pain.” The group meets once a week for eight weeks at no cost to participants and among the topics are the impact of loss, honouring the memory, guilt and anger, coping
as a family and building a support network. “The group dynamic is very embracing and reinforced in me - the realization that
there is definitely a path to healing and well-being,” said one participant. The next session runs from Oct. 6 to Nov. 24 but Bates is hoping those touched by suicide will reach out now for help. “It’s so important that we get the word out. We want people to know there is support,” she said. Pre-registration
is required by calling 250-275-8062 extension 4 or e-mailing b e t t y. b a t e s @ c m h a . bc.ca. For 24/7 support, call the crisis line at 1-888-353-2273 or 1-800-784-2433.

Museum rhetoric
here was a lot of talk about the importance of heritage and museums last week. It all began with MP Colin Mayes announcing $100,000 in funding for the Greater Vernon Museum as part of the Canada 150 initiative. “By telling the community’s story, we make our community stronger,” said Mayes of the museum. An additional $100,000 will come from the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee Richard Rolke to replace the museum roof, and chairperson Juliette Cunningham also sang the praises of the agency. “The museum plays a vital role in our community. I am so grateful that we are able to help safeguard our history due to the contribution from the Canada 150 program,” she said. But while there is nothing wrong with any of those comments, when was the last time Cunningham and Mayes actually toured inside the museum? If they have, they would realize that $200,000 is just peanuts and a leaky roof is just the start of the problems for the museum, which is dedicated to maintaining and preserving the community’s heritage. Exhibits are shoe-horned into what little room there is and visitors can easily feel crowded and claustrophobic. This is particularly noticeable when special events are held, such as the Bug Guys show, which draw about 70 children. “They barely fit into the back room,” said Ron Candy, the museum’s long time curator. Opportunities to bring touring exhibits to Vernon are lost because there isn’t an extra inch of additional space (the building is 12,000-square-feet in size, with 6,500 for
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
exhibits). Candy admits that snug quarters are making it difficult for the museum to perform a primary mandate, which is public education and awareness. “The community is getting larger and demand is growing. If we had more space, we could get more people.” But the real challenge is behind closed doors where the public never goes. Wandering up to the second floor, the staircase becomes a virtual goat path as stacks of boxes line the route. They are being saved for the next book sale, which is critical to prop up limited operational funds. Once at the top, the amount of clutter is overwhelming. Mannequins are stacked up like cord wood, while boxes form skyscrapers. One false move, and they could tumble over, and while that may not seem important, keep in mind that they contain one-of-a-kind artifacts and treasure from the region’s past. Once something from Cornelius O’Keefe or Sveva Caetani is gone, it’s gone. They aren’t making any more. Items are being stored in a less than ideal setting and the lack of controlled atmospheric conditions also doesn’t help. Many of them never see the light of day because there isn’t proper space on the ground floor to exhibit them. When asked about the current state of affairs, Candy was cautious and didn’t want to take away from the celebrations surrounding the $200,000 for the roof. “A new facility would be ideal but in the meantime, we deal with what we have,” he said. And Candy could be dealing with what he has for awhile as politicians don’t consider the museum a priority. There was some talk of expanding the facility, but that process stalled while GVAC developed a cultural plan. Instead of progressive action and looking to the future, all that comes from elected officials are band-aids.
Part of the problem with our Ottawa-centric federal government is that it can’t seem to understand why anyone in B.C. would be displeased about services – any services – being centralized ‘back east’. But that’s just what is happening with the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP. The federal government has decided to close the B.C. office and save costs by centralizing staff in Ottawa. While the RCMP investigates complaints about individual officers, the commission is intended as a further recourse for complainants who remain unsatisfied, or for addressing wider issues about RCMP policies and practice in general. The decision to close the local office removes another access point for a level of independent oversight on the force at a time when, some would argue, even greater oversight is needed. There may be justifications for the move – a commission spokesperson says the office did not itself conduct investigations and hadn’t done any mediation recently, while eight fulltime staff affected in Surrey are, we are told, either retiring or leaving voluntarily. And the work that the Newton office undertook, we are assured, will still go on in Ottawa. But it’s a particularly bad optic at a time when B.C. residents continue to have lingering, and troubling, concerns about RCMP actions – ranging all the way from the Dziekanski tasering, in connection with which former officer Monty Robinson has just been sentenced for perjury, to the recent shooting of Anonymous collective member James McIntyre during a protest at a BC Hydro meeting in Dawson Creek. And, as B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton has observed, the move – in the largest RCMP jurisdiction in Canada, where 37 per cent of all the country’s Mounties are stationed – was done with no consultation with provincial officials. The federal government, it seems, is perfectly comfortable with this lack of consultation – and doesn’t seem to be aware, or much care, that unilateral decisions of this kind only serve to goad locals. It may be wise to remember that, in politics, perceptions are everything – particularly when those perceptions reinforce long-held suspicions B.C. has about its representation in Ottawa. — Peach Arch News

Golf courses negatively impacted
he local golf courses have been faced with major water increases in the last several years by the City of Vernon and the Regional District of North Okanagan. These increases have to materially affect their ability to operate profitably in order to continue to operate. Hillview Golf Course, for example, has been faced with a 300 per cent increase in water rates from 2011 to 2013. A committee representing the golfing community appealed to the authorities regarding these increases and they agreed to roll back the rates in 2014 to the 2013 levels. What is unfair in the application of this decision is that it applied only to the Vernon Golf and Country Club, the Rise and Predator Ridge, users of reclaimed effluent water. Hillview was advised that it would be subject to the full 2014 rates as well as being subject to further 22 per cent increase for the year 2015. Serious TOURISM While riding my bicycle in Spallumcheen, I came upon six tourists on bicycles that were changing a flat tire opposite a gravel pit south of the round-about. I asked if I could help, but they didn't need it. They told me that three were from Belgium, two were from Germany and one was from France. They flew to Calgary and were riding to Hope, then back via Highway 97 to Cache Creek and back up the Yellowhead to Jasper. They asked me where the tourist booth is by the north end of Vernon to which I said, "Surely, you jest. The booth was torn down a few years ago." "Well, what about the big billboard that advertises where to go?" they asked "Oh, you must mean the one that the Where's Waldo fans like." I also told them not to go down the highway to get through Vernon. I said that I could ride with them and get them to the other
increases are also slated for the next two years which will increase their water costs dramatically. It can be argued that they should pay the full rate for water but the golf course property provides an aesthetically pleasing entrance to the city that few other prop-
side of town, up the highway, to the Kekuli Bay campsite. I told them they have nice hot showers to wash the boat gas and oil off as there really isn't a beach available. But, not to worry, as they can walk along the tracks and find a place to call there own. Off we went up Pleasant Valley Road to 39th Avenue, down to 33rd Street, over to 34th Street and then up Mission Road to the army camp. I then left them with instructions to get to Kekuli. I thought it odd as we went by the new tourist booth, that they never noticed it. It must blend in. Bob Johnston STICKLE ROAD As I understand it, the speed limit on Highway 97, from points north to Swan Lake, is 100 kilometres per hour. From Swan Lake to Vernon city limits is 90 kilometres per hour. In reality, most southbound traffic is ignoring the speed limit reduction and traveling at 100 kilometres per hour or more right
erties can provide. In my limited travels over the years I have found that a golf course property provides the most pleasing entrance to a city that you can have. They are always nicely maintained with green fairways and greens, water hazards, sand traps and tree growth, etc.
up to the overpass. As the traffic engineers say, lights at Stickle Road would impede traffic. That is a good thing. There are a couple launch pads in the southbound lanes at the sharpest part of the curve, just at the top of the ramp. If one hits those ramps at 80 to 100 kilometres per hour, especially under wet conditions travelling south in a positive or clockwise direction, they will take off in a tangential direction into the lane on their left which could be occupied by a couple traveling north. Jim Davis THANK YOU I had a great time volunteering as a server of the wonderful appetizers donated by various caterers at the annual Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts. It was a beautiful evening, the large crowd of people all appeared happy and the event was successful once again in raising much needed funds with the assistance of the Raffan brothers as auctioneers.
Who knows what the developers and the city will decide would become the new landscape if the golf course is forced to close. What you do know is that you will lose that green space at the entrance to Vernon. It is unlikely that any future use of this property will provide such a pleasing entrance to the city. They appear to only be concerned about extracting every dollar they can from these businesses without concerns that they are not treating them fairly or equally. One of the things that should really be concerned about is the responsibility they will share in forcing a very desirable business for the City of Vernon to close by placing these massive increases on a business in Vernon. It is not too late for the water authority to rectify a very unfair application of an earlier decision to at least put all four golf courses on an even playing field. Arthur Block
I was running a bit late before arriving and realized that I had brought a large purse with me. I knew wisely, not to leave it in my car and instead put my purse near our work station. Foolishly, I took the cash I had in my wallet and placed it in shallow pockets in my clothing. At the end of the evening I realized that the money had all fallen out and was gone. The old adage of haste makes waste came to mind but when I was downtown a couple of days later, I decided to drop into the art gallery and just ask about it but not expecting anything. Upon arriving home, there was a call saying that someone had turned the cash in and it was all intact. Once again, I know why I love living in Vernon. There are so many good, decent people here. I really was not expecting to get my money back. I want to sincerely thank whomever turned my money in. I hope everyone had a great time and I will be back again next year
to volunteer.

Carmanagh Carsen Austin (front), Sarah Chezick (left) and Natalie Wellburn, of the group Kumana Marimba, play at the Armstrong Farmers Market Saturday morning. The trio are from the central Vancouver Island area and are travelling throughout the province for the summer.
The community of Cherryville is celebrating the harvest in a creative way when it hosts its sixth annual Roots and Beets festival Saturday. Hosted by the Cherryville Artisans Association, the festival features artist demonstrations in hot glass bead making, weaving, painting, pottery and instrument making, “There are also workshops offered throughout the day in variety of artistic mediums, including weaving and instrument making,” said Helen Kovacs, with the artisans association. “These workshops are suitable for all ages.” Music will be performed all day long by local musicians from the Okanagan, including Sorella, Christine Kendal Ward, Priscilla Judd, and Ron Clempson and Peter Deuling, Syilx artist Corinne Derickson will perform an eagle dance, which she has performed internationally over the past five years, added Kovacs. “All will be enjoyed at our outside stage and covered dancing area to escape the hot summer heat,” she said. In addition, there will be a medieval display from the local Society of Creative Anachronism group, featuring kids crafts and interactive sparring demonstrations, as well as a book building workshop by local librarian Colleen Primley. “This is for children of all ages to enjoy and participate in the library’s theme of ‘build it’ for the summer of 2015,” said Kovacs. The Cherryville Farmers Market will also be part of the festival and will offer local produce, artisan treats and more. “In addition, you can peruse a variety of local artisans in our craft market and at the Cherryville Artisans Shop,” said Kovacs. The Roots and Beets festival takes place Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the grounds next to the Cherryville Artisans Shop at 1187 Highway 6 (behind Frank’s General Store) in Cherryville.
Film shows a different kind of family vacation For The Morning Star
Origin Pictures
Billy Connolly, with co-star Emilia Jones, has a laugh in What We Did on Our Holiday.
The Vernon Film Society’s second film of the summer season is What We Did on Our Holiday, a comedy about a family vacation that goes awry. Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl, Made in Dagenham) and David Tennant (TV’s Doctor Who, Broadchurch) star as separated married couple Doug and Abi McLeod, who decide to play the happy family one last time for the sake of Doug’s dying father Gordie (Billy Connolly, Quartet). With their three children in tow, the McLeods embark on a trip to the Scottish Highlands for a family reunion in honour of
Gordie’s likely final birthday, hoping to return unscathed. While Doug and Abi initially attempt to keep their marital problems under wraps — both to prevent family scrutiny and avoid upsetting Gordie — discretion proves impossible for their precocious children. Tensions quickly rise among the reunited extended family, especially when a long-simmering sibling rivalry between Doug and his wealthy brother reaches a boiling point. Gordie decides to take the children to the beach to escape the squabbling, but events soon take a surprising and disturbing turn that puts all the family feuding into perspective
and forces the clan to come together, despite their differences. Featuring great comic performances from Pike, Tennant and Connolly, What We Did on Our Holiday is a hilarious and heartwarming comedy that is sure to delight audiences. “It’s impossible not to enjoy this big-hearted and sweet-natured British family movie,” said Peter Bradshaw, with The Guardian. What We Did on Our Holiday screens Monday at the Vernon Towne Cinema at the regular times of 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are available one week ahead at the Towne and the Bean Scene for $7 (cash only).

Artists to show face in Kelowna Four acclaimed artists are showing their portrait work in the new exhibition, Heads Up. Opening Thursday at ARTE funktional in Kelowna’s The Factory, the exhibition features works by David T. Alexander, Ann Kipling, Robert Bigelow and Malcolm Mooney. ARTE funktional owner Carolina Sanchez de Bustamante of Vernon developed the idea for Heads Up after visiting Alexander’s studio in Lake Country a few months ago. It’s there she discovered his portrait series, and then invited the other artists to take part in a new group exhibition at her gallery. “While these four artists have portraiture in common, their approach and aesthetic is unique to each of them. Each has decades of individual creative research that provides viewers of the artwork deep insights that goes far beyond the superficial,” said Sanchez de Bustamante. Featuring drawings, collages, mixed media and prints, Heads Up speaks to the artists’ concepts of investigations of a particular person or their imaginative thoughts in exploring shifting identities. Alexander’s works in the exhibition are primarily on paper. Using commercial papers such as millboard used in bookmaking, heavy card made from prairie wheat stalks, or archival papers, Alexander says each type of paper reflects a different patina and surface
that is unique to each finished portrait. The winner of the first Audain Prize in 2004, and the recipient of an honorary doctorate from Emily Carr University, Kipling, who lives in Falkland, has made a lifelong commitment to the medium of drawing. Working exclusively on paper, she has established herself as an important figure in Canadian art. Her work can be found in public and private collections across the country. Born in Los Angeles and now living in Vancouver, Bigelow has taught painting, drawing and lithography at Simon Fraser University, Capilano College and the Vancouver School of Art (Emily Carr) and was an associate professor and associate dean at the faculty of fine arts at Montreal’s Concordia University. His works have been collected by galleries and museums around North America. Born in New York and now living in Calgary, Mooney is a singer, poet and visual artist, who was the original vocalist with the late-’60s, early-’70s German rock band Can. He has performed and exhibited his artwork extensively over the past 30 years, most recently at White Columns Gallery in NYC and at Skyline College Art Gallery in San Bruno, Calif. Heads Up runs from Aug. 6 to Oct. 17 at ARTE funktional, 1302 St Paul St., Kelowna. Open Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

When Joan Jong woke up the morning of July 18 it was going to be a special day — the day she married the love of her life, Kalvin Krause. What she didn’t know was what her romantic groom, with help from family and friends, had secretly planned to make the day a celebration for the Armstrong Farmers Market and whole community. “I was expecting a quiet wedding just before the afternoon reception. My family had done most of the organizing because I was busy in the garden,” said Jong, a longtime vegetable vendor at the market. The Jong family is well known for being among the first market gardeners in the area and one of the families still gardening. Jong also works full time at Parkview Place seniors’ residence but with the encouragement of family and friends, she got her hair done, got a manicure on her garden-worn hands and selected a dress. She was ready in the morning, thinking there would be photos taken in the park. Krause had another idea. “I thought a few months before that it might be a crazy idea, maybe not even possible, but I’d like it and Joan would like it if we got married at the market. I asked Cat (Majors, president of the Armstrong
“I was completely surprised. It was out of my dreams.” — Joan Jong
Farmers Market) and she thought it was a great idea,” he said. “Joan said, ‘I’m going to miss my market today but at least I can go and pick up my bouquet and show them my dress.’” When Jong got to the market just before noon to get the bouquet, made by vendors, she was met by a rose-petalstrewn carpet, floral arches, her family and friends, her fellow vendors and community members and shoppers. There was a marriage commissioner at the ready. “I hadn’t a clue. I was completely surprised. It was all out of my dreams. Everyone was there. I was smiling all the way,” said Jong. The ceremony took place at the spot where her stall would usually be and she would be on Saturday morning, assisted by Krause, who owns Aquarius Vocational Services, which helps people get back to work after physical rehab. “I realized we’d pulled it off. I had so much help from so many people and everyone kept the secret so it really was a surprise for Joan,” he said. “We had our wedding at the market, one of Joan’s favourite places, and we are
happy and everyone was happy. It was a special day and we are so grateful to everyone who helped. We’ll always go back to the market on our anniversary if we can.” The couple was back to the market the next Saturday and will take time for a honeymoon in the fall when the garden needs less attention. It took a community to bring things together. “Joan and Kalvin are a charming couple and everyone wanted to do whatever they could to make it a special day for them,” said Cat Majors. “This is the longest continuously running farmers market in B.C. and a lot of things have happened here but I think this is the most special. It was the same day as our Very Berry Cherry Fiesta so that made everything even more special. The toasts after the wedding were made with our berry cherry punch. “Our regular busker, Vern Johnson, who usually plays the guitar, learned the wedding march on his violin to play as Joan walked down the carpet. So many of the vendors and other local people were involved, with the decorations, the snacks and making a gift basket for Joan and Kalvin. “Everyone kept the secret and we were all happy to see our beautiful bride and dapper groom. They walked around the market after holding hands and talking to everyone. It was an honour and a joy to share their special day with them,” said Majors.

Sex and the Kitty
Due to the sold out Bug Guys show in July at the Greater Vernon Museum, a second show has been added for Aug. 22. Stuart Brown, of the Bug Guys, will return to educate and entertain with his bizarre, beautiful, and fascinating creepy crawlies. “Both the avid insect lovers and the squeamish onlookers will leave with a new appreciation for these creepy crawlies,” said Denise Marsh, museum marketing and communications co-ordinator. The bug presentation takes place from 10 a.m. until noon. “As space is limited and Stuart’s shows have proven very popular, I encourage those interested to purchase their tickets early to avoid disappointment,” said Marsh. Tickets are $3 per person and they are available at the museum. For more information, call 250-5423142 or visit www.vernonmuseum.ca.

Online food safety courses offered Morning Star Staff
St. John Ambulance has launched two online food safety courses designed specifically for the hospitality industry. The courses will educate workers on how to prevent the transmission of food borne illness, such as salmonella and escherichia coli (E. coli), while allowing for the flexibility of online learning. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, about four million Canadians contract a food borne illness annually – that’s roughly one in eight people. To prevent food borne illness, all Canadian food service establishments are required to have at least one staff member
with a Foodsafe level one certification or equivalent. Both Food Safety Basics and Food Safety Advanced meet this requirement. “Food service and handling of food is such a big part of the hospitality industry,” said Cindy Lund Chow, chief learning officer with St. John Ambulance in B.C. “Canadians purchase approximately 1.7 meals each week so there’s a big responsibility for the industry to get it right – for every customer at every meal.” In Food Safety Basics, students will learn how to hygienically clean, serve, and dispose of food items, making the course suitable for chefs,
cooks, servers – as well as athome cooks and foodies. The advanced version is a management-level food safety training program, and is ideal for owners, operators, supervisors, or managers of any food service establishment to better ensure that all food handlers work more safely. The St. John Ambulance food safety courses are industry recognized, can take as little as eight hours to complete, and are followed by a one-hour exam at a local St. John Ambulance branch, as required by B.C. health authorities. Course certification is valid for five years. The launch of these courses is especially timely for sum-

mer, as more people are hosting barbecues and dinner parties, and thousands of students are looking for temporary work. “The job of choice for many students looking to earn some extra cash over the summer holiday or pay their way through university lies in the hospitality industry,” said Lund Chow. “If you’re looking for hospitality work, Food Safety Basics is a great accreditation to have on your resume and it’s very affordable.” Course fees are $90 for Food Safety Basics and $165 for Food Safety Advanced.

Provincial politicians check out trades project SAWYER KLASSEN Black Press
Provincial officials have had a first-hand look at Okanagan College’s latest expansion. Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick, KelownaMission MLA Steve Thomson and provincial Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson received a guided tour of the new trades building on KLO Road in Kelowna. Construction on the $33-million project began in June 2014, and it is still on schedule to open to students in the spring of 2016. Once open, the new facility will nearly double OC’s capacity for trades students, allowing for 2,400 students to train at the campus every year. “Well I think we’ve seen the great progress on this project,” Thomson said after their tour was done. “It’s a $33-million project, with $28 million contributed by the province, and it’s great to see how far it’s advanced. “We’re really looking forward to its completion. “I think one of the key points here is the community support for this, a big part of this project’s funding is coming directly from businesses and people and leaders within our community, so that just shows how important this is within our community.” The remainder of the funding is being raised by Okanagan College through a campaign that launched in October 2014. The campaign has a goal of raising $5 million for capital construction costs and $2 million for program and student support. “The nice thing about this is that our students locally here in the Okanagan will have the ability to take their trades training right here at the college and then go up north if they need to, up to Site C to work on the big dam

Gained weight? … feeling burdened and like you are taking each step - in quicksand ..? Ah, you are not alone; in fact you are in very good company! 2015 is year of the Goat, and in Chinese Astrology, the Goat is viewed as a very strong earth animal, and she encourages an introspective approach, a sense of gathering, and a possibility of hiding things beneath her fleece … This all leads to accumulation and a sense of connection … unfortunately that may be to a bag of chips within easy reach! From February until now, that has been very strong - thankfully it’s all about to change. On August 7th, we enter Fall in the Chinese calendar, and things are about to release; yes that could mean a few of those extra pounds … If you feel that others have not seen you, or you’ve been buried and somewhat overwhelmed, have no fear, it’s not you… it’s the year! As we begin our approach to 2016… get ready for some mischievous Monkey business … sounds like fun to me!

Seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing, say a study by Johns Hopkins and National Institute on Aging. They also say that hearing loss could lead to dementia by making individuals more socially isolated, a known risk factor for dementia and other cognitive disorders. The scientists report that wearing hearing aids could delay or prevent dementia by improving patients’ hearing. Dr. Lin and his colleagues used data from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study on Aging, initiated by the National Institute on Aging in 1958, who have tracked various health factors in thousands of men and women over decades. The researchers found that study participants with hearing loss at the beginning of the study were significantly more likely to develop dementia by the end. Compared with volunteers with normal hearing, those with hearing loss and found they had twofold to fivefold the risk of developing dementia over time. The more hearing loss they had, the higher their likelihood of developing the memory-robbing disease. “A lot of people ignore hearing loss because it’s such a slow and insidious process as we age,” Dr. Lin says. “Even if people feel as if they are not affected, we’re showing that it may well be a more serious problem. When it comes to hearing loss and dementia, our study gives some urgency to treating hearing loss rather than ignoring it. If you want to address hearing loss, you want to do it sooner rather than later…you want to treat it before these brain structural changes take place.”

REALTOR®
There are many different models of real estate. Some people prefer dealing with one person from start to finish, having this one person do all aspects of their listing or sale. When you call, you would always be speaking with your REALTOR® & your REALTOR® would be hands on for setting appointments, inputting & creating your marketing. The team approach might include a first contact person (often by phone) followed by a listing REALTOR® who comes & does the listing paperwork, followed by a photo/measuring listing assistant, & you may often be hearing from office assistants for setting up appointments. If you are also buying through a team you may be assigned a different REALTOR® to help you with your purchase. In simple terms, it is perhaps more like a volume-based store with different departments than a boutique managed by the owner. Whatever your style, it is important to know that all licensed REALTORS® have access to the same MLS® listings & you don’t have to call ‘listing’ REALTORS® to see their homes. Your best bet always is to start with a REALTOR® you can trust to keep YOU as their priority, not their paycheck, not their boasts to be #1, not trying to use your property to get other spin-off business.

Low Emissivity glass has a thin, transparent coating that essentially reflects heat. A simple analogy is that Low-E works the same was as a thermos does. A thermos has a silver lining which reflects the temperature of the drink back in. The air space between the outer and inner shell of the thermos also provides insulating benefits. A glass sealed unit works the same way. With Low-E glass, heat gets reflected back in during the winter and works reverse in the summer - outside heat is reflected back out. The glass air space is also filled with heavierthan-air argon gas, which again helps the insulating value.

Q: A:
I was looking at my masonry chimney the other day and noticed that the bricks were stained and cracked; the mortar appeared to be deteriorating as well. What causes this and how can it be stopped?
Are you an
Expert?
INSOMNIA: WHEN YOU’D RATHER SLEEP THAN COUNT SHEEP Who hasn’t had a few sleepless nights at one time or another? But if you’re continually having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, you could be suffering from insomnia.
This is caused by cracking and deterioration of the concrete collar or “crown” around the top of the chimney. Over time the crown cracks & storm water finds its way through the cracks & into the bricks or masonry units. Once there it freezes & thaws, cracking the bricks, deteriorating the mortar joints & in worse cases the brick faces break off. The repair is to clean up the crown, seal all the cracks & around the flue with a good, flexible concrete caulking; then seal the rest of the crown with a good concrete sealant. This should stop the deterioration. Re-sealing should be done every two years or as required. In worse cases, re-pointing the mortar & re-placing some of the bricks may be required. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure; fix the crown cracks before the bricks or masonry units are damaged. And remember, when in doubt, always ask an expert.
Types of insomnia: • Difficulty falling asleep • Difficulty staying asleep and waking during the middle of the night • Difficulty returning to sleep after awakening in the night • Waking too early in the morning

Winning rosters have been structured around combos such as Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina, Dwight Gooden and Gary Carter, and Nuke LaLoosh and Crash Davis. The Vernon Canadians B.C. AAA Midget season might not have gone as planned, but righthanded pitcher Dylan Emmons and his catcher Garner Chudyk still have a great chemistry and are getting the chance at college ball thanks to a successful senior campaign. The C’s’ battery is inked for the inaugural season with the University of Fraser Valley Cascades in the Canadian Collegiate Baseball Conference. “I’m really looking forward to university and I’m glad I get to stay close to home,” said Emmons, who graduated from Vernon Secondary and will take psychology and marketing courses. UFV opened their doors for the baseball program this summer. They will play in exhibition games this fall and will be ineligible for CCBC postseason play until the 2017 spring season. Cascades’ baseball coach Shaun Corness has anchored his lineup with the league’s top combo. “When I talked to teams after our games this summer, they all thought Dylan was the best pitcher they have faced,” said Canadians’ coach Ken Liefke. “He is a dominant force.” The six-foot-one, 175-pounder is coming off a dominating season on the bump. With a fastball in the upper 80s and a knee-buckling slider, Emmons rang up 126 strikeouts with only 23 walks in 78 innings. A 3:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio is considered good in the MLB, and Emmons is cruising at almost a 6:1 clip. Corness sees Emmons as a pitcher in their starting rotation and expects him to be one of the league’s best by his second year.

Vernon AAA Canadians pitcher Dylan Emmons (left) and catcher Garner Chudyk caught the eye of the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades coaching staff. The pair have signed on to play with the Cascades in the upcoming Canadian Collegiate Baseball Conference season. “I’ve been able to locate my fastball, curve and slider pretty good this year. I’ve also started working on a changeup,” said Emmons, whose favourite pitcher is Stephen Strasburg of the Washington Nationals. “I’m glad I’ll be going there with him (Chudyk). He is a nice big target and he is easy to throw to.” Chudyk has been putting down the signs for Emmons for the past few years and jumped at the offer he received from UFV at the end of June. “I decided to head there a week after they talked to me. I didn’t
want to wait around and see what else might have come up. “I’m looking forward to getting there and starting at the roots. We are all going to be new to the program and that was important to me,” said Chudyk. Chudyk is impenetrable behind the dish. Corness noticed Chudyk while coaching against him with the Chilliwack Cougars this summer. “He blocks everything. He is a great receiver and controls the game with great instincts,” said Corness. Chudyk is also extremely valu-
able and a rare baseball player. Being a catcher, your primary role is to be a top-notch defender. If the catcher can hit, it’s a bonus. If he hits left-handed, double bonus. It allows the coaching staff more options when creating a lineup and for late-game matchups. Chudyk, whose favourite player is Russell Martin of the Toronto Blue Jays, hit .264 with 13 RBI this season, second most on the squad. He hasn’t had any problems grinding through a losing sea-
son because he loves playing the game. “Garner is going to be a star once he gets regular playing time in college,” said Liefke, who was a catcher in his day and has coached him for six years. “I think he was the best catcher in the league this year. He guns out about 60-70 per cent of runners and blocks balls I could never imagine blocking.” Added Corness: “Both these players are really going to develop and take off once they come here and get on a ball field six days a week.”

Trio lifts B.C. sides ROGER KNOX
Morning Star Staff
Red Sox-Yankees. Canadiens-Maple Leafs. Maroons-Sonics. The latter may not have the lengthy history of the two other rivalries, but competition in senior boys volleyball between Vernon’s Fulton and Seaton schools can be fierce. Look for that intensity to ramp up this fall, courtesy of three stars from the two schools who represented B.C. at national volleyball championships in Edmonton this summer. Seaton’s Troy Atkinson and Fulton’s Danny Aspenlieder were members of the provincial U18 team, while Landon Currie of Fulton played for Team B.C.’s U16 squad. “I’m going to bring the intensity from the tournament over to the school team and try and lift our school team,” said Atkinson, 17, a 6-foot-5 Grade 12 leftside hitter. “I think there will be high expectations for Landon and me, and we’re going to be counted on to be leaders on the floors,” said Aspenlieder, 17, 6-foot6 and a Grade 12 rightside hitter. Added Currie, a Grade 11, 5-foot-9 setter, right-side hitter and libero: “Playing on the
provincial team is going to motivate us to make the other kids do well.” The trio earned their provincial team spots following intense workouts. Aspenlieder and Atkinson survived a month-long audition in the Lower Mainland and Okanagan, while Currie was named to the team following his play at a tournament in Kamloops. “The competition for a spot on the team was intense,” said Atkinson. “There were lots of older players, a lot of experience, in the tryouts.” Added Aspenlieder: “Once we made the team, the competition was still fierce because there were still three players to be cut from the travelling team.” The two U18 members – who represented the province in U17 play in Edmonton last year, and won bronze with Vernon’s Sky Volleyball at club team nationals in Calgary in May – helped B.C. finish fifth out of 10 teams. Currie’s U16 squad just missed the podium, finishing fourth. “I thought I had a pretty good shot at making the team, but I had to work hard to make it,” said Currie, who is currently in the Dominican Republic playing baseball for

Vernon’s Troy Atkinson (from left), Danny Aspenlieder and Landon Currie represented B.C. at U18 and U16 national volleyball finals in Edmonton. Team Canada at the Latin American Baseball Classic. “The tournament was exhausting. Seven games in four days, all best-of-fives.” Atkinson and Aspenlieder, rivals in school, have been friends for years playing club volleyball. Asked how they thought they played in Edmonton, each shyly
looked at the ground and grumbled about playing “OK.” Each gave an honest assessment of the other’s performance. “I thought Troy played lights-out in Edmonton,” said Aspenlieder. “It was awesome watching him play. He’s really improved.” Said Atkinson: “Danny did really well,
probably one of the best right-sides in the tournament.” Asked about his performance in the U16 tournament, Currie said simply, “I thought I had a consistent tournament.” Aspenlieder is back on the court this weekend. He’s competing for B.C. at the Western Canada Games in Fort McMurray.

The B.C. Hockey League’s reigning champions have lost their No. 1 goalie. Hunter Miska will not be returning to the Penticton Vees for the 201516 season. Instead, he will join the Dubuque Fighting Saints (in Iowa) in the United States Hockey League (USHL). The Vees announced that Anthony Brodeur – son of NHL legend Martin Brodeur – has joined the club for the 2015-2016 season. In a press release on the Saints’ website, Dubuque acquired Miska’s USHL rights from the Fargo Force for draft picks. “I think Dubuque is a great fit, and will really help my development in preparing for college hockey,” said Miska on the Saints’ website. “I loved my time in Penticton, but I was up for a new challenge to push me to be ready to go to college and be a number one goalie at Minnesota-Duluth.” In an e-mail, Miska, a native of Stacey, Minn., said playing in the USHL is going to be a good opportunity for him because all of the teams are very strong. “I played in the BCHL for two years and felt that I did the best I could do
so I am looking for a new challenge,” wrote Miska, who won 53 games, lost 21 and had seven shutouts to go with a .924 save percentage and 2.04 goals against average in 80 games with the Vees. “I would like to try to be a top goalie in the USHL as well.” Miska helped lead the Vees to a BCHL and Western Canada Cup championship. Miska was also named the BCHL’s best goalie as he posted a 1.88 goals against average. Brodeur was a seventh round pick of the New Jersey Devils in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. He joins the Vees after two seasons in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League with Drummondville and Gatineau. Previously Brodeur won a U-18 national championship with the powerhouse Shattuck St. Mary’s program. “While we were disappointed by Hunter’s decision to leave us so late in the off-season, I’m a big believer that everything happens for a reason,” said Vees president, general manager, and head coach, Fred Harbinson. “We received a ton of calls from people around the hockey world, including USHL goalies ready to make the jump to us. We are very excited that Anthony chose to finish his junior career as a Vee.”

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE AGONY IS FOR ONLY ONE SIDE Virginia Woolf said, “On the outskirts of every agony sits some observant fellow who points.” Today, I will be the pointer who aims at the side feeling the agony. How should the play proceed in four spades after West leads the heart king? In the auction, over West’s takeout double, North’s response of two no-trump showed four or more spades and game-invitational values, an excellent idea initially proposed by Alan Truscott. (Note that two no-trump is not needed to show a big balanced hand, because North would start with redouble. Also, what North would do with a stronger hand will be
covered tomorrow.) South has four losers: two spades, one heart and one diamond. Without this irritating heart lead, declarer could have driven out the diamond ace and discarded his heart loser on dummy’s third diamond. That won’t work now. Some players would win the first trick, play a club to hand, and lead the spade queen with an illegal furtive look. They would hope that West, with the doubleton spade king (or ace), would put up his honor. It might work, but should not. South has one legitimate possibility: finding clubs 3-3 and either opponent with a singleton trump honor. After winning the first trick, declarer plays a club to his ace, cashes the club king,
and overtakes his club jack with dummy’s queen. Then he leads the 13th club and pitches his heart loser. Either East or West may ruff, but it costs one of the defense’s two trump tricks. South loses only two spades and one diamond. The French call this “le coup de l’agonie.”
