New athletics park filled with smiles JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan is on track with Vernon’s new athletics park, which opened Friday. “I love it, it’s easy on the legs and knees,” said Val Janzen, while walking the rubberized track at the Greater Vernon Athletics Park. “It’s very nice here, it’s beautiful.” Walking with friend Gloria Larratt, the Armstrong ladies are pleased to see Greater Vernon finally have the amenity. “We came all the way down here to try it out,” said Larratt, who expects there will be many more trips to Vernon to utilize the park. “It’s not that far in,” said Janzen. “And it would save on our legs a bit.”
“It puts a little bounce in your step.” — Linda Jack
The park saw an influx of individuals, families and couples playing football, soccer, running and walking Friday. The entire park isn’t quite finished, with some construction ongoing on the building, which is expected to be completed for a grand opening Sept. 26. But a sneak peek into the facilities had Tannis Nelson, Regional District of North Okanagan community development co-

ordinator, gushing about the fine work contractors have done. “It’s an amazing facility,” said Nelson, admiring the Kalamalka Lake views from the meeting room. And since the closest comparable facility is in Kamloops at Thompson Rivers University, there has been an influx of interest from sports groups across the Okanagan. “One of the football coaches, he’s just ecstatic,” said Nelson, as the artificial grass cork field will reduce impact and injuries. The facility has also gained nods from other sports. “We had Dylan Armstrong the Olympian (shot putter) here and he was just really impressed,” said Nelson. “He’s really excited.”

Okanagan College president Jim Hamilton also came by Friday to check out the new park, which could lead to athletic development camps with the college. “It’s long overdue for the community,” said Hamilton. And it is also already proving to help residents stay active. Linda Jack got in one of the first laps around the track Friday and is now looking forward to getting back into running on the low-impact regulation track. “It puts a little bounce in your step.” The park is open dawn until dusk to the public, with free parking in blue painted stalls and commissionaires on hand to explain proper etiquette and provide security in the evenings.

Affordable housing moves into motel RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A major step has been taken to expand affordable housing opportunities in Vernon. B.C. Housing has purchased the Journey Inn motel on 28th Avenue downtown and 38 units will be operated as affordable housing under contract by the John Howard Society. It builds on our goal of providing a continuum of housing options for low-income residents in the North Okanagan,” said Barbara Levesque, John Howard Society executive director. It’s expected many of the tenants will be employed but they find the cost of housing difficult. Others will be seniors who have been in transitional housing for up to two years. Singles and couples will be able to live in the units independently and they will be referred by various community agencies. “It’s really meant to develop a sense of community for these individuals,” said Annette Sharkey, with the Social Planning Council. Among the amenities will be a community kitchen and a common garden, where

The Journey Inn has been purchased by B.C. Housing and 38 units will be operated as affordable housing. the pool is currently located. There will be building supervision on site. “We are following a model of service similar to a B.C. Housing facility in Penticton,”
said Levesque. Information about the housing complex and John Howard’s plans have been provided to adjacent property owners. “The John Howard Society is a good
neighbour and it acts to help improve the neighbourhood,” said Sharkey. Six to 10 tenants, who have been screened, will move in over the next few weeks, and renovations will begin this fall and continue until late 2016. “The location is within walking distance to many amenities and is ideal for people who cannot afford transportation,” said Levesque. “This project will give tenants the opportunity to live with dignity and hope for a brighter future.” While the Journey Inn project is moving ahead, Sharkey insists that this is a separate initiative from the closure of the Green Valley Motel. “For those (evicted from) the Green Valley, we are encouraging tenants to contact housing outreach services and the Gateway Shelter is the emergency plan for those who don’t have housing,” she said. The Journey Inn property will be renamed as part of its shift to housing units. “Purchasing the Journey Inn is an important step to increasing the affordable housing options for Vernon,” said Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA.
Increased RCMP ranks considered in budget talks
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s police force insists it can’t keep doing more with less. City council was told Thursday that there’s a need to bolster the RCMP ranks from 48 to 50. “It would be dollars well spent if it allows us to provide the service we were at in 2012,” said Insp. Jim McNamara, acting officer-in-charge of the detachment. The detachment previously was funded for 50 officers but that was reduced by two individuals as the city attempted to reduce overall expenditures. There is an average cost of $164,000 per officer. McNamara says it’s increasingly challenging for the force to provide programs based on 48 officers, and considerable time
“It would be dollars well spent.” — Jim McNamara
is now directed to paperwork related to cases. McNamara presented three options to council for consideration, including funding 50 officers in 2016 or increasing the workforce to 49 in 2016, with a commitment for an additional officer in 2017. The third option is to maintain the status quo at 48 officers. “That will result in reduced police service,” said McNamara, adding that no decision has been
made on possible cuts. “It could be enhanced services like downtown enforcement or the school liaison.” No decisions about the RCMP request for two additional officers were made by council Thursday as the 2016 budget process has just begun. “I will wait until it’s presented within the budget context. It would be another point-and-ahalf to the budget (taxes), but there could be ways around it,”
said Coun. Bob Spiers. Senior city administration is proposing an overall 2016 tax year of 3.7 per cent, with 1.9 per cent going to a statutory fund for infrastructure and 1.8 per cent for general operations. However, Coun. Brian Quiring is concerned that there may not be sufficient money to meet the needs of the RCMP and other departments. “I don’t want to see a whole list of service cuts to make 1.8 per cent,” he said. Will Pearce, chief administrative officer, urged council not to deviate from the proposal yet. “It gives administration a reasonable shot to bring in a reasonable budget for council’s consideration,” he said. Quiring’s comments also led
Coun. Scott Anderson to point out that economic conditions remain difficult for some residents. “Now is not the time to increase taxes. China is not doing well,” he said of global markets.

City staff raise park concerns RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Polson Park has become a challenging place for some city employees. Council was informed Thursday that safety and security have become issues for some parks employees when they are on duty in Polson Parks. “There is frequent harassment,” said Shirley Koenig, Shirley Koenig director of operation services, during a report on key issues facing the department. In a recent case, an individual in the park picked up a female student employee, threw her over his shoulder and ran around. Employees have also witnessed beatings and other examples of violence. “This is a concern for our employ-
ees. How we do put these people into the park safely?” said Koenig, who says the city is considering how to address the situation. “We are trying to figure out how to direct staff to continue to do their job when there are elements that are unsafe.” The acting officer-in-charge of the Vernon RCMP says his officers recently met with city bylaw compliance to discuss safety and security in the park. “We will focus more foot patrols on Polson Park,” said Insp. Jim McNamara, adding that the presence of private security could also possibly be beneficial. McNamara says he will look at statistics dealing with Polson Park, but he doesn’t believe there has been an increase in criminal activity. “One or two incidents can create a perception that there’s a problem in the park,” he said. “The last thing we want is people to not go to the park because they don’t feel safe.”

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Lumby’s firefighting forces have been bolstered. The keys for a new water tender were handed over to the Lumby Fire Department Wednesday. “It’s rigged up for forestry interface response and not just for hauling water,” said Tony Clayton, chief. The new vehicle holds 1,500 gallons of water and it’s four-wheel drive so it’s able to tackle all forms of terrain. “There’s a good sized pump on it,” said Clayton. A special feature is a device on top of the Rosenbauer truck that allows water to be applied to a fire. “We can spray water 150 feet while going down the road,” said Clayton. There is also considerable storage for various pieces of equipment, including a portable water tank. The new vehicle replaces a 22-year-old tender, which could only be used for transporting water.
“This is a good example of prudent planning.” — Rick Fairbairn
The new vehicle will cover the village and parts of rural Lumby, and the $300,000 price tag was included in the Regional District of North Okanagan budget. “We planned on it for five years,” said Rick Fairbairn, RDNO chairperson and rural Lumby director, of putting money aside in reserves for the purchase. “This is a good example of prudent planning.” The older tender was traded in and the dealer, Rocky Mountain Phoenix, has sold the truck to the Okanagan Indian Band Fire Department.

Damage to a new pathway in Coldstream will soon be fixed and could end up costing motorists next time they drive into it. A guard rail on the Kidston Path was recently taken out by a motorist and some new options are being looked at to replace it. “Every time one of those guard rails get hit it costs us a significant amount to replace it,” said Trevor Seibel, Coldstream chief administrative officer.
— Trevor Seibel “If they hit one of those no-posts it costs them a lot.” Meanwhile progress on the new section of the path is coming along with paving recently done from Kidston Elementary. The project is scheduled to be completed for October. “It’s looking very
good,” said Coun. Gyula Kiss. Taxes paid up The taxman won’t have to hound too many Coldstream residents. A significant number of residents have paid their property taxes, which were due July 2. “As of today, we have about 93 per cent
of taxes collected,” said Patricia Higgins, director of financial administration.

Predator firefighters wanted RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The call is being put out for more volunteer firefighters in Vernon. And specifically, the department is looking for individuals to bolster the ranks at the new hall at Predator Ridge. “We’d like to see more manpower up there,” said chief Keith Green. Presently, there are about five people stationed at the hall but the goal is to have at least another five more. A recruitment program for Keith Green volunteers will be held during the fall. It’s hoped some single people may consider signing up as firefighters because living quarters are currently being developed at the
fire hall. “The drywall is done and we are waiting for the painting crew,” said Green. Also this fall, an engine and a water tender will be stationed at the Predator Ridge hall. Applications and information for volunteer firefighting positions can be found at vernon.ca.

I
On the road again
t’s supposed to rain this weekend. Although they’ve been teasing us with such predictions for awhile now and all it usually amounts to is a spit in the wind, this time it looks like it’s for real. As I’m writing this on Friday it’s difficult to know but I have some faith this time it will really rain, even though regular readers know that I’ve bashed meteorologists in the past (who else gets to give professional advice qualified by percentages, well, except pollsters of course, but that’s another story). And I don’t remember Glenn Mitchell rain being so welcomed by so many around here, but even more at the Coast. I just took a quick mid-week trip to the Lower Mainland and I couldn’t believe how brown everything was.....yes, brown. The land of umbrellas and intermittent showers (that means if it’s not raining, it’s either just stopped, or just about to start) is no more. At least not this summer and they have the water restrictions and dirty cars to prove it. Hey, for once it’s not raining on the PNE, well, until this weekend apparently that is..... .....and speaking of getting hot under the collar at the Coast I had the distinct pleasure of joining the morning rush-hour commute from Abbotsford to Richmond on Thursday morning. I set out to pick the holiday-returning kids up at the airport hotel from my cousin’s place at 7:10 a.m., hopefully leaving a little extra time for the scheduled 8:30 a.m. pickup. Well, not enough time as it turned out. As soon as I left the fancy roundabout and found my way to the Highway 1 exit going the right way, and I had travelled, oh, about 1,500 metres or so along the highway, it suddenly became more like a parking lot. We weren’t moving at all. I quickly tuned in the news channel on the radio to find out there was a flipped truck closing off one lane but it looked like it was going to be
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
cleared soon, so rather than taking the exit to the Abbotsford airport and hopefully the Fraser Highway if I could find it, I stuck it out, along with the rest of my newfound friends that seemed to stretch on forever. I’m a pretty patient guy most of the time but when you’re virtually trapped in a maze of cars and you’re more than slightly out of your comfort zone and wondering if you’ll ever get to Richmond, let alone back to Vernon, you can slowly feel yourself start to lose it. I didn’t of course, ahem, but I suddenly understood how dehumanizing it is to be stuck in a sea of metal with no way out and how you get so focused on your own plight you don’t bother to consider that someone in that truck ahead might be in real trouble. After what seemed like eons, but was more like 20 minutes or so, I approached the accident scene to see the truck in question being towed away and once again we were all on our way and I only missed the pickup time by a mere 15 minutes. I felt a twinge of guilt about my behaviour but then when I missed the exit to the bridge coming out of Richmond and got stuck in a traffic jam heading to the Deas Tunnel on Highway 99 for another 20 minutes or so, my internal road rage surfaced again, especially seeing how it was my fault and if I hadn’t missed that exit I’d be on my way by now and..... ......I like the Coast, visiting anyway, but I like the traffic in these parts much, much better, even though it can be a bit much at times, relatively speaking of course. But what I do like down there is filling up with gas in Hope at $1.11, which is at least 13 cents cheaper than here, and excuse the pun but drives me crazy. Luckily, ahem, I’m driving the other kid to Victoria this weekend so I can fill up again in Hope, twice, and at least drive around as long as possible on cheaper gas until I have to fill (halffill, that’s my way of handling it) up again on the local variety, which must be some kind of champagne gas. Or, maybe, just maybe, it will be cheaper by then?
Although it may be difficult to accept the new $8-million athletic park which most residents didn’t even bother to vote for, it is here. And with all the work that’s gone into it, including going about $500,000 over budget, it’s not going anywhere. Therefore this new amenity, whether you wanted it or not, should be celebrated and used. And it looks like that is going to be just the case with our new facility. Coaches, athletes, families and individuals are beaming over the fancy new park. Runners, joggers and walkers are eager to try the new rubberized track and reduce the impact on their joints. Sports teams are looking forward to having regulation-sized facilities, something the region has lacked for decades. Not to mention the field consists of people-friendly cork, instead of that black rubber that most artificial grass fields contain. It doesn’t look as sharp, in fact it kind of makes the grass look a little dirty, but it also gives it a more natural look, like the grass isn’t being over-watered. So while Greater Vernon teams and individuals are excited about the new park, it is also generating interest up and down the valley. Therefore if you were one of the 4,303 people who supported borrowing up to $7.5 million over 20 years for the complex, you can pat yourself on the back for what will hopefully attract teams from all over (who will then spend money locally). It was a close vote, with 3,917 no votes. But really, it’s the lack of interest that is most notable. Out of a possible 45,095 voters, only 8,220 participated in the referendum. That’s the thing about democracy, if you don’t use your voice, it doesn’t count. Perhaps something to keep in mind as we head into a federal election.

Facility's time has come
ernon needs a full-time, fullsize, fully equipped gymnastics facility. As a former elite gymnast who grew up and trained here in Vernon, it is appalling that the City of Vernon and the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee are still being incredibly unco-operative in helping the North Valley Gymnastics Society build a proper facility. Our family moved to Vernon in the '80s before there was a gymnastics club here. Because I was already a competitive gymnast, we travelled to Kelowna four days a week so I could train. In 1991, the gym club was started under the umbrella of the boys and girls club. Then in 1993, NVGS was established as a non-profit organization, which was when I started training there. The gym club ran out Beairsto school’s gym and the coaches had to set up and take down the old and battered equipment every single night. I trained there for six years, four days a week and worked hard to eventually become a national level gymnast. The facility and equipment were not remotely optimal for a competitive gymnast. We were fortunate enough to have a great relationship with the Kelowna gym club, which lets us use its facility before every competition so we could practice on proper equipment and a full-size spring floor. Other gymnasts were astonished when we told them what we trained on and that we didn’t have a gym of our own. Imagine the Vernon Vipers training and playing on a pond and you might have an idea of where we were at. It’s heartbreaking that over 20 years later, the current situation is not much better. Returning to Vernon now with kids of my own, it baffles me that a long-standing, established, not-forprofit gymnastics club is still being stonewalled at every turn. After all of this time, my own children are facing this same disadvantage of not having a proper gymnastics facility. Vernonites pride themselves on raising elite athletes, be swimming, snowboarding, 10.33” byit2.5” skiing, golf and of course hockey.

However when it comes to gymnastics, a sport that is recognized as one of the three foundational sports for all other sports by the International Olympic Committee, there is no such support. NVGS has spent decades fundraising so it can cover the costs of a mortgage, the downpayment, equipment and management of the building. They just need land. It doesn't seem to be a problem to set aside land for soccer, or put into works a plan for another new arena, but every single year, gymnastics is overlooked. Years ago, the City of Kelowna saw the benefit of having such a facility. It partnered with the Okanagan Gymnastics Centre and built a thriving club. Even cities a fraction of our size have proper gymnastics facilities. For example, Nelson, with a population of 10,000 people, has a fully equipped, full-time gymnastics club, including a trampoline and tumbling facility. Smithers has a population of 5,000 and it has a full-time, fullyequipped gymnastics club. Terrace does as well and to top it off Penticton, has two full gymnastic clubs. NVGS has been denied by our city for decades. It's sent proposals in to the government of B.C, and the federal government, and even sent a proposal in to the Canadian military to renovate one of the old abandoned hangers on DND land and were denied. With no support from the city,
every other avenue has been turned down. The club, in its current space, is at its capacity, having gone from 250 to more than 600 participants using the facility each week. Despite its training facility, NVGS keeps growing and once again, has a budding competitive program. There is a great demand for the sport and everything that its facility provides, contrary to a quote by Gyula Kiss in the paper. “There is always risk. You never know how usage will happen”, he said of a potential decrease in registrations impacting the club’s bottom line. A brand new facility is going to have a decrease in registration? Mr. Kiss clearly hasn’t inquired or spoken to anyone at NVGS about its numbers and growth over the years. If he had, he’d know that there’s currently a waiting list for this fall’s registration, as there is every year. If he wants to know how the usage will happen, ask NVGS. It's had a plan in place for years. When it comes to established non-profit organizations in Vernon, NVGS is hardly a risk. They’ve been able to withstand decades of change despite people standing n their way. Many people ask why the club doesn't just lease a large building. It's tried. The dilemma with finding a proper building is that most buildings aren’t enough space for a full gymnastics facility or they don’t
SUNGLASSES.
have enough ceiling height to accommodate the equipment. If a building does meet the size and height requirements, generally there are support pillars scattered throughout the building, which is not an optimal choice for a gymnastics club. Over the last few decades, NVGS has looked at all sorts of potential facilities and have yet to find one that meets their needs. The best possible solution is to build their own. If the city would be co-operative, it would be incredibly beneficial to a plethora of different user groups. The freestyle skiing club would prefer to do its indoor training here instead of driving to Kelowna’s gym. But at this time, NVGS can’t accommodate their needs. Currently, NVGS has daytime user groups such as the Splatsin from Enderby, homeschool programs, Kindale and the Vernon School District’s high-performance alpine ski team. If NVGS had a full facility, the school district could use the facility during the day for school gymnastics programs as it does for swimming lessons at the aqutic centre. There are endless possibilities to how beneficial this would be for our city. It’s unfortunate that the people who make these decisions for us don’t see that. “Oh look at that useless, empty, unused gymnastics facility," said no one ever. In December 2017, the lease will be up for the club’s current building. If the city and GVAC were to give the club some land now, the club would be able to build a new facility and have it up and running once its lease was up. Now is the time to step up. Now is the time for GVAC to actually take a close look at what this club offers and how it will positively impact our city in the future. This sport deserves much more consideration than it’s been given. We won’t let it be swept to the side any longer. We won’t be dismissed. For the sake of our kids, and the growth of the city. we need this facility and we need the help of GVAC and the City of Vernon to get it done. Now is the time. Robin Nanji

An “udderly” good time is about to hit the North Okanagan as the 116th Interior Provincial Exhibition gets underway Wednesday through Sunday. The theme, Udderly Awesome: Party Til the Cows Come Home, highlights the dairy division and General Manager Bryan Burns is excited about how that will play out at the fair. He expects lots of cow costumes and cow-themed floats in the parade, creative booth decorations by exhibiBryan Burns tors and 4-H members, and people dressed up to the theme throughout the event. “I think our theme is going to be absolutely stellar,” said Burns, who has his own selection of Holstein-based paraphernalia to choose from. “I think it’s just a great opportunity to represent something that’s really big in our community, which is dairy.” After eight years at the helm, Burns is still enthusiastic about introducing people to the world of farming even if they are initially drawn to the fair by the midway and other entertainment. “That, in essence, is what our fair is all about – the agricultural component,” he noted. “Once we’ve brought them here, now we can expose them and get them engaged in agriculture.” Thys Haambuckers, executive director of the dairy division, said the fair lets people see and do

things connected to farming – from animals to food to equipment – in an engaging and friendly atmosphere. “I think it gives the urban population a gateway to connect with their rural roots,” said Hammbuckers. “This is the only time a lot of the city people get to see any kind of livestock. “We see other fairs where that component is dying out and we’re still going strong. We like to focus on the agricultural aspect of the fair. That’s what it’s all about.” With over 2,000 exhibitors and almost 7,000 entries across 19 divisions, people will have ample opportunity to experience a true country fair at this year’s IPE. But the IPE has tons to offer in addition to its agriculture-based entertainment. An expanded Iron Chef event will include demonstrations and tastings plus competitions for amateurs and professionals. The Ram Truck Stage features a new lineup of musical entertainers provided through 542 Entertainment, the nightly Youth Talent Competition and the opening ceremonies on Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. There is also the Indie Stage featuring lots of great local up-and-coming talent. An expanded Kids World has lots of fun activities and performers including a Lego tent, gold panning, flea circus and an illusionist. There is the always-popular West Coast Lumberjack Show, the Wrangler Canadian Professional Rodeo stocked by the Calgary Stampede, the mini chuckwagon races, farrier demonstrations, dog and rabbit agility shows and a wide array of vendors. “We have 220 vendors who are geared to showcase their services or products and give you a chance to buy them. Some of them you can only buy at fairs,” added Burns. Burns said the IPE is a great economic driver for the community but none of it could happen without the 11,000 volunteer hours put in by 450 volunteers in addition to the 38 or so non-profit groups that also work at and benefit from the fair. Haambuckers said thanks must go to all the exhibitors who dedicate so much time and effort to what they do and then showcase those efforts at the IPE. “We’re very proud and pleased to have these kinds of people. It doesn’t matter how much work the directors or the staff put into the fair, we’re not going to have a successful fair without exhibitors.” For more information on the IPE check out the special supplement in today’s newspaper.

Villanueva named MVP Morning Star Staff
Hunter Villanueva of the Kelowna Falcons has been named the West Coast League’s Most Valuable Player. Villanueva, of Bakersfield, Calif., won the summer collegiate baseball league’s batting crown with a .378 average. The Fresno Pacific Sunbird freshman also registered 62 hits which tied a Falcons’ team record, 12 doubles, seven home runs and 33 RBI. The 6-foot-1 shortstop showed great range and a strong arm. Justin Flores joins Villanueva on the First Team All-WCL. Villanueva becomes the first Falcons player ever to win an MVP. Brady Miller of the Falcons has been named the WCL’s Pitcher of the Year. Miller was 6-0. In seven starts he threw 37 innings striking out 23 and allowed just nine earned runs.
His 2.19 ERA was among the WCL’s lowest for starting pitchers. Miller becomes the third Falcons pitcher to win this award, following Dayne Quist (2010) and Cord Cockrill (2012). Jayse Bannister claimed another honour for the pitching staff as he made the second all-star team. The West Coast League also announced Billy Clontz is the Coach of the Year in just his second season. Clontz was able to more than double the Falcons win total from 2014. Last season, the Falcons finished with a league worst 14-39 record. This season Clontz and company had 34 wins, setting a new team record. Clontz becomes the first Falcons manager ever to win the league’s Coach of the Year award. Kyle Anderson of Vernon was the team’s play-by-play internet voice.

Braden Kersey of the Vernon Tri Monsters earned a bronze medal at the 33rd Pushor Mitchell Kelowna Apple Triathlon last weekend. Kersey, sponsored by North Okanagan Orthodontics, was third (46:18) in the Western Canadian Youth Championships male 14-15 category Saturday, held in conjunction with the Apple. He is coached by Laura Medcalf. Adam Bugera, 15, raced his first Junior National Series race (Male 16-19 Jr Elite) and recorded a personal best 20k bike split of 34:39. He carries sponsorship from Randy Wilson of SunLife Financial. “I was nervous to race these fast guys, it was a really exciting experience and I’m learning a lot,” said Bugera. “I’m looking forward to improving in this category in the next few years.” Tri Monster assistant coach Alesha Miller was the fifth overall woman (45:34) and tied for first in her age category (F20-24) in the standard distance race Sunday. Sister and assistant coach Christa Miller was fourth (49:53) in the same age group and
18th overall woman. Carlos Lesser, a 24-year Mexican-born athlete, who lives in Victoria, completed the Olympic (standard) distance event Sunday morning in one hour 58 minutes nine seconds – the only clocking under two hours. The triathlon featured a 1.5-km swim, 40-km bike ride and 10 km-run. A student at Camosun College in Victoria, Lesser’s first triathlon in Canada was the Apple back in 2010 when he finished second in the junior elite division. Nearly 1,200 athletes competed.

Row for teens set Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Rowing and Dragon Boat Club at Swan Lake has offered both adult and youth programs for 15 years and is set to launch something new and exciting. A fall rowing program aimed to provide local youth rowers 12-17 years with a crew rowing experience. “Rowing is the ultimate team sport” said Lisa George, program manager and coach at VRDBC. “Having a program focused on team boats, quads, doubles and eights will create an experience that is typical in larger communities”. All equipment is supplied. “Vernon has outstanding opportunities for rowing,” said George. “We have an exceptional waterway, rowing
shells to easily accommodate up to 80 rowers and a group of dedicated NCCP certified coaches”. Rowing instills trust, commitment, and builds team work plus is fun and a great form of fitness. The B.C. Summer Games Thompson Okanagan rowing team trains out of the Vernon Rowing Club, making this program ideal for any youth interested in the 2016 games. Rowing programs are very accessible and affordable. There is no additional equipment needed so the financial commitment is relatively small. The fall program is $100, including equipment, coaching, team shirt, a final regatta and BBQ and taxes. To register, visit www.vrdbc.com or call Lisa George 250-938-7769.

Walk takes steps for new shoes KELOWNA — For the shoe charity that puts footwear on those in need, it seemed only fitting that its annual fundraiser would give participants a chance to “walk a mile in their shoes.” The Kelownabased Shoe Bank Canada is hoping nearly 300 people will slide off their flip-flops and sneakers to join in the upcoming Barefoot on the Boardwalk. “We’re all about putting shoes on people’s feet, and charities need income to make good things happen,” says Shoe Bank Canada co-founder Jim Belshaw. “There are so many runs and walks in this city, we wanted to do something a little different and make it meaningful to our mission, as well as fun and family-friendly.” Barefoot on the Boardwalk, which takes place Sept. 12, sees participants gather at Kelowna City Park Boardwalk (near the water park at Hot Sands Beach) before kicking off their heels and walking two kilometres barefoot. “For every dollar we raise, we can put a pair of shoes on someone,” says Belshaw, who reminds participants that if they were to get 10 pledges of just $10, that’s 100 pairs of shoes. “That would go a long, long way.” Belshaw, also the owner of Roy’s Shoes, opened the shoe bank in 2010, shortly after the earthquake in Haiti. After a shoe drive that saw locals donate nearly 45,000 pairs of shoes, Belshaw opened the warehouse to locals before sending them overseas. “It became apparent so quickly that the need for footwear locally

The Kelowna Shoe Bank hosts the second annual Barefoot Walk Sept. 12. is so great, and just as important.” Since then the charity has been committed to helping the less fortunate in the Okanagan first before shipping shoe donations overseas, and to facilitate that, in July 2014, the organization opened a shoe bank, set up just like a shoe store, across from the Kelowna Community Food Bank. Just since then, and with the help of nearly 20 local service agencies guiding the qualifying process and handing out “shoe vouchers,” the shoe bank has provided 4,000 pairs of shoes to those in need in Kelowna. As a national organization now with shoe drives and permanent dropoff sites across B.C., Alberta and Ontario, shoes are also shipped to 30 B.C. communities before excess footwear is shipped to those in need overseas. The shoes provide warmth, comfort and opportunities: many working poor individuals have been able to secure work with a pair of steel-toed boots or shiny pumps to turn things around for their families. Barefoot on the Boardwalk is
a fun and family-friendly way to make a difference in the community. In addition to balloon animals, music and popcorn, there will also be the ever-popular “feet painting” provided before and after the event by volunteers (though walkers wanting feet painting should arrive early to get in line). Registration is $20 for individuals or $100 for a team of six friends or coworkers. Each registrant receives a T-shirt and a bottle of water. Register online at FreshAir.ca or in person at both Fresh Air locations and at Roy’s Shoes until 5 p.m. Sept. 11. Lastminute registrants are also welcome from 10:30 a.m. on the day. nnn Shoe Bank Canada collects shoes from individuals and footwear companies and distributes them to people in need in Canada and around the world. The organization now has permanent drop-off locations across B.C. and Ontario, and the community is also encouraged to donate during annual spring shoe drives.

From Astaire to bagpipes CHRIS MCBEATH Special To The Morning Star
BELGIUM - Without the Red Star Line, the likes of Fred Astaire and Irving Berlin may never have inspired our creative world so expansively. Former Israeli prime minister Golda Meir may never stepped on to the world stage, and without Arthur Murray, my Aunt Julie may never have learned to waltz. These were just a handful of the roughly 60 million migrants who left Germany and Eastern Europe between 1815 and 1940 in the hope of a better life in the new world: North America. The Red Star Line Museum, housed in the former Red Star Line warehouses in Antwerp, tells their story with compelling clarity. Some two million of them came from as far east as Dusseldorf, Krakaw, and the depths of Russia, regions where famine, wars, natural disasters, discrimination and persecution made life in Europe unbearable. Their passage often involved an arduous train journey (fourth class comprised cramped, wooden benches and little else) to traverse the continent before stepping aboard a Red Star vessel to cross the ocean. The museum incorporates eight thematic areas including a train compartment and the

steamship’s warehouse where potential passengers were subjected to long, disinfecting showers and medical examinations. The company was responsible for the cost of repatriating any emigrants who didn’t make it past North American immigration officials so this process was particularly thorough. One display, the deck of an ocean steamer, reveals that crossing to America was no pleasurable cruise even though voices of emigrants plunge the onlooker into the prevalent atmosphere of hope, excitement and anticipation. It is the personal
items, letters and testimonies of passengers that make some areas especially poignant: like having to send your nine-year-old daughter back to Antwerp on her own because she had trachoma and was refused entry to the U.S. Or letters home that described Chicago, “like Poland but better.” Perhaps most thought provoking is the museum’s ability to put the immigrant story into a contemporary context as it shares the joys, hardships and heritage of many an American and Canadian family. That relevancy is one reason why Red Line is nominated for the European Museum of the Year, 2015. Information on the museum can be found at www.redstarline.be. Brussels may be a centre of European diplomacy, culture and architectural elegance, but its irreverent side is far more fun. Think Tin Tin and his trusted four-legged accomplice Snowy; Pistoir, the city’s symbolic statue of a peeing cherub; and chocolate, the smell of which scents the air with aromatic wafts of sugar. Little surprise then, that in addition to all the grand cultural destinations and galleries comes a toy museum, a comic strip market most Sundays, and an extraordinary collection in the Musical Instruments Museum.
Anticipation starts before entering the quirky, five story building. A former old England department store once favoured among the city’s most fashionable ladies in the early 1900s, its jawdropping, metal and glass art nouveau facade promises something unexpected. Each level explores a different musical genre such as the history of western music, percussion, stringed instruments and so on. Straightforward as this appears, many of the objects on display prove that today’s cornets, strumming and wind instruments have a peculiar ancestry. The displays of aerophones alone include the Bulgarian Kaba Galda, a Turkish Tulum and a Hungarian Duda; bagpipes are apparently many centuries old (some suggest even to Roman times) and that those played in Scotland is very much a newcomer. Many of the earliest pianos and harpsichords are so decorative and imaginatively engineered, (one is shaped like a pyramid), they are intricate works of art. Then there is the percussion section where you’ll see how Tibetan monks used the bones of their deceased colleagues as musical instruments, and how African slit-drums were an original, indigenous form of Twitter. Although there are
no English translations to what is seen, never fear because everything is in the language of music: visitors are provided with infra-red audio guides that share how a particular instrument actually sounds and they really make the exhibits come to life. For anyone interested in music, children and adults alike, this is a gem of a discovery, as is the building’s rooftop café and its amazing city panoramas. For information on the museum, go to www.mim.be. Chris McBeath is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Big Bear ATV Tours branches out TAMARA NORTON Special to The Morning Star
What do you get when you cross a former gravel pit manager and hospital orderly who has a penchant for all things outdoors with an energetic spouse who just happens to be an accomplished artist and loves to entertain? Meet Ron and Ines Stone, owners of Big Bear ATV Canoe and Kayak, a company that offers a taste of the rural Lumby backcountry to those who seek a different kind of adventure. Ron worked in a hospital environment for many years, teaching him the now-sovaluable skills of dealing with many different mind sets. He admits he gave a big part of his soul to those he met in the hospital and he believed his love for the outdoors would further give him an opportunity to share his enthusiasm and love of life with others. “I cut my teeth at the hospital,” he said. “I learned how to make sick people smile. This is my way of giving back to folks who want the best outdoor experience possible.” Ines shares Ron’s love for people and she shares her passion for life through her artwork. In fact, with help from his father, Ron built a cabin on their 300-acre family ranch so Ines could entertain their clients and showcase her artwork. The walls of the little log cabin are adorned with life-like paintings of northern Italy and France, as well as pieces of driftwood from the Shuswap River, which after Ines has had her way, resemble a sort of morphed snake/dragon. Ron admits he’s not a carpenter but he wanted to build a special destination for their ATV business and Ines’ artwork. He began the project two years ago, and it quickly became an obsession, pulling deadstanding tamarack wood from the steep forest floor to the homestead, where he would spend long hours through the winter months hand-carving 40 logs with his draw knife. The result today is a blend of cappuccino bar and art gallery, which Ron and Ines have dubbed Big Bear’s Sleddog Room and Espresso Bar. The cabin is made almost entirely of recycled materials and is chinked with organic stone wool, which will make the cabin cool in the summer and warm during the winter. The two-by-12-inch planks make for a solid flooring and give it that modern-day

saloon feeling, but Ines likes to think it’s more of a Bavarian style rustic cabin. The cabin will also allow clients to settle down for an espresso, or clients can be treated to a specially catered lunch for an afternoon, or a sit-down, western-style barbecue dinner. “We want this to be an exclusive place for people to gather,” said Ines. “We will cater to all needs and we want this to be a place for people to remember.” Surrounded by the rolling Lumby mountains in a valley carved out by glaciers mil-
lions of years ago, and only minutes from the Village of Lumby, it is a get-away where one can forget themselves, where gathering for the sake of gathering is still remembered and celebrated. Ron’s extension of Big Bear ATV is to provide a professional tour of his family ranch, the forestry range and onward to a lake. Clients can drive an all-terrain vehicle if they are a minimum of 16 years of age, but Ron ensures everyone has had a lesson on safety before they set out, no matter their age. And clients are of all ages, men and women, and hail from all over the world. “We cater to local and international clientele,” said Ron. “We’ve had visitors from Saudi Arabia, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the far East. We have no barriers here”. Many fathers and sons will go on a tour as a kind of bonding experience, and Ron
admits he receives many repeat customers because people seem to like his easy-going style. Big Bear’s prepared meals are a draw too. And they incorporate ingredients from local vendors, including Cherryville’s Triple Island Cheese Ida’s Bakery in Lumby and the Mediterranean Market in Vernon. “I make sure our clients have the best meal possible on their tour,” said Ines. “We make a get down and dirty, stick-toyour-ribs sandwich — layers of roast beef on a huge cheese bun, with slices of organic Swiss cheese, topped off with bread and butter pickles or tomatoes grown from my garden.” Ines can also offer a more delicate afternoon of coffee and chocolate-raspberry truffles. “We will cater to whatever our clients desire,” she said. “This is about our client’s experience and we want clients to come back, again and again.”

GUEST COLUMN
Debt focus of study Morning Star Staff
A new Edward Jones survey reveals that most Canadians opt to pay off debt when granted a lump sum despite growing increasingly concerned about having to work longer to supplement retirement savings. Poll results show that nearly one-in-three Canadians planned to use their 2015 tax returns to pay down debt, while fewer than one-in-10 planned to use that money to save for retirement. “It’s a common dilemma for many Canadians. ‘Should I pay down my debt, including my mortgage, or contribute to my retirement savings account?’” said Patrick French, director of financial and retirement planning with Edward Jones. “Unfortunately, there’s no easy or definitive answer. When carefully factored into an overall financial strategy, a lump sum of money can mean an opportunity to pay off debt and also accumulate retirement savings, but Canadians need to strike the balance that is right for them.”
While you can pass along your assets taxfree to your surviving spouse, you can’t pass them along to anyone else without triggering taxes. Unless you have a surviving spouse, there is a deemed disposition of your assets at death. In other words, the government considers your assets – whether they have really been sold or not – to have been disposed of at fair market value, triggering the associated income taxes. Everything from stocks and bonds held outside your registered retirement plans to the family cottage is taxable in the hands of your beneficiaries. Any remaining funds in your registered plans are also taxable on your final tax return – nearly half could go to the taxman. To help preserve the value of your estate for
your beneficiaries, consider the cost/benefit of a life insurance policy to help fund your estate’s tax liability. A life insurance policy can either provide a fixed death benefit, or one that grows with the tax liability. Tax-exempt investing – If you hold a large percentage of interest-bearing bonds and GICs in your nonregistered investment portfolio, you will be very familiar with the one-two punch of high taxes and inflation. Between your interest income being fully taxable at your marginal rate, and inflation slowly eroding away your purchasing power, you’re almost better off putting these funds under your mattress. A potentially interesting solution is tax-exempt insurance, where any income generated by your assets
DR. DALEN QUINTON & ASSOCIATES
can accumulate on a tax-deferred basis, as they do in a registered plan. And you can access the funds by taking out tax-free loans using the insurance policy as collateral. Because of these advantages, many highnet-worth Canadian families have come to regard tax-exempt insurance not so much as insurance, but rather as a third investment pool, complementing their registered retirement plans and nonregistered investment portfolios. However, there is also an insurance benefit to tax-exempt insurance – a completely tax-free death benefit that your beneficiaries can use to cover estate taxes, or for any other purpose, such as creating a family trust or a charitable legacy.

Fundraiser boosts SPCA Morning Star Staff
Some animals never know kindness. The good news is, you can fight animal cruelty in your community by registering and fundraising for the 2015 Scotiabank and B.C. SPCA Paws for a Cause walk, held in September to raise funds for abused, injured, neglected and homeless animals throughout B.C. This year, participants in more than 30 communities throughout the province will walk to raise funds to help animals in need across British Columbia. The Scotiabank and B.C. SPCA Paws for a Cause walk to fight animal cruelty, benefitting the Vernon SPCA branch, will be held at BX Ranch Dog Park Sept.
“This is the largest single event to help...” — Costantineau
13 from 9 a.m. with the walk starting at 10 a.m. Participants will be able to enjoy entertainment and activities, including contests with prizes to be won. With support from local sponsors Bannister Honda, Creekside Animal Clinic, Central Animal Hospital, Healthy Spot Pet Nutrition and Supply, and Fun 4 All Pet Resort, the event brings animal lovers and their furry friends from all walks of
life together. “This is the largest single event to help fight animal cruelty in B.C.,” said Krista Constantineau, B.C. SPCA manager of fundraising events. “We are overwhelmed by the participation each year. It’s so great to see thousands of people come together across the province to help B.C.’s most vulnerable animals, and the great news is, this year, registration numbers are up. “Our amazing supporters not only raise essential funds, the events are so much fun for twolegged and four-legged participants.” To register or donate, and to get all the latest news and information, visit spca.bc.ca/walk.

Reporters report, editors edit, printers print and there’s a new edition of The Morning Star. The last vital link is the 16 drivers and 200 carriers who get the paper to the readers. Roberta Draht, who has been delivering the paper since last September, starts her day at 4 a.m. “I have to have my coffee,” she said. Then she checks the weather outside and dresses for comfort before she sets out on the first of her three routes, one in Bella Vista, one on Middleton Mountain and one in Coldstream, a total of 393 papers. She’s a pro, with a paper route from the time she was eight until she was 20 and doing her degree in psychology at UBCO. Now she does the paper routes, which take five to six hours, before her later-in-the day job as an education assistant at Kelowna Heritage Christian School. “Getting out early gives me energy. I remember when I was doing exams at university and the exercise would calm my anxiety and give me energy. I like the outdoors and seeing the seasons change and the animals. I see deer and quail and other birds and the horses and cows in the fields. People are good about keeping dogs in but I was bitten by a dog once on my former route. There have been bear warnings but I have never seen a bear,” she said. “I like meeting the other people who are out early, at home or walking, and watching the sun come up. The people I deliver to make me feel special and say they appreciate what I do.” Winter brings some challenges. Sometimes she’s out before the snow plows or sidewalks and driveways are cleared and has had to dig her papers out of snowbanks more than once. “The roads are a big concern. I make sure I have good winter tires on my car and that it is going to start but sometimes it’s impossible to get done on time,” said Draht. She has found some unexpected benefits. “Walking and having this time to myself makes me feel relaxed and ready for the day. I have more strength and endurance and I’ve lost weight and sleep better. It helps me do my other job better. I just feel better about myself. I’m the kind of person who gets stressed easily and this is so therapeutic. It makes me feel good.” Draht plans to keep the routes for at least the next few years. “I really like the people I work with at The Morning Star. They’re amazing, always really kind and supportive.

“The drivers start delivery to the dropoff points in different zones at 9 p.m. and work in shifts through the night,” she said. “Roberta is very good. Not only does she do her own routes but she will sub for other routes as needed. She is very reliable and
goes above and beyond. “Our carriers range in age from nine to 70s and they all do their jobs well in all kinds of weather. They represent The Morning Star to the public and without them we couldn’t get the paper out.”

Life
Some things just aren’t that hard
he other night, sprawled out on my couch, I was thinking of how tough something I wanted to change was. I have a couple of bad habits that I would like to address and I find I go in great bursts and then pause. I know I can be lazy and careless and neither of those will help. So in my whining stupor I came across an article that got my attention. “Delivering a baby is hard, grieving the loss of a parent, husband, child is hard. Changing your eating habits to be healthy — cutting out carbs, sugar, bananas is not hard.” — Whole 30diet web page. So I made my own list and stuck it on the wall: “Losing Gord was hard; raising two sons on my own was hard; my mom and dad dying has hard.” You get the picture; I put it in perspective of the changes I wanted to make versus serious challenges I had faced. Becoming a healthier human being would have its moments and amazing rewards. It has been much easier this past couple of weeks to give up carbs, sugar, bananas, wine. My energy level is up and the healthy food on my plate is very appealing. So what other bad habits can I take on? Slow down, let’s make it through three months, allowing for substantial engrained change to occur. Steve Fonyo running across Canada was hard. Terry Fox, Rick Hansen and the hundreds of others who have made incredible journeys to bring attention to diseases and causes, those efforts took hard work. A woman with a rare disease that is slowly killing her climbed Mount Everest and then qualified and completed the 1,000 mile dog sled run in Alaska! Amazing. That was hard, eating more veggies not so hard. I used to say to my boys when they didn’t want to do something because they had a slight injury — not broken legs — “did you know Terry Fox ran with cancer when he was running
The Way I see IT
Michele Blais
from Newfoundland to Ontario? If Terry can do that you can probably walk to school.” So we would talk about Terry and other role models who had faced real challenges and the lads could find inspiration in their stories that helped them face and get through their own challenges. Sill do; my oldest loves to read biographies and finds the life experience of others very helpful in the pursuit of his own goals. Sometimes we can get stuck within our not-so-healthy and familiar habits and making change seems very difficult and perhaps insurmountable. Perhaps comparing
myself to the others and their challenges is out of sync but it can work as a motivator if their story connects with you. Please do not compare body shapes and sizes and appreciate that our bodies are unique and many factors influence their shape. Here is another example of when comparing is not helpful. I attended a grief group years ago and after listening to everyone’s story as to what brought them there I was so struck by the amount of loss and pain that my fellow group members had experienced. As if on cue the group leader said, “do not compare your grief to the others in this group, all of us are in pain, all of us grieving, and we need to allow ourselves to grieve. By comparing your pain to another you may discount yours and that does not help.” She was so right. Our grief is ours and we

need to experience it in our own way to be able to get to a place of living with our loss in a way that we honour the person and ourselves and that will mean experiencing joy again. Listening to the other stories, I learned of ways to cope and move forward which were very helpful. We do not always understand why a person struggles with change when it comes to smoking, eating, drinking or drugs. Change is difficult, challenges hard and rewarding and many factors influence these. Be curious, respectful and helpful. Beside my short “life-was-hard list,” I have started my bucket list. There are moments when I swim in a lowlevel depression or can do
the poor-me song, and I get through that quickly because I know in my heart and my head I am very fortunate.
The way I see it, for me gratitude and a positive attitude will make for brighter, healthier days.

Regional Board Highlights – August 2015 Special Events Permits The Regional Board has approved two Special Events Permits for the Kelowna Dirt Bike Club fall season. The club can hold two special race events at its facility adjacent to Bear Creek Forest Service Road that are exempt from provisions of the Noise Bylaw. Temporary Use Permit Renewal The Regional Board has given conditional approval to renew a Temporary Use Permit for up to three years for a medical marijuana production facility proposed for Paradise Valley Drive. The proponent has requested the renewal of the permit (first issued in July 2014) to accommodate Health Canada inspection and licensing of a facility on a 4-hectare parcel in the Trepanier area. The property owner is also in the process of seeking a lot consolidation/boundary adjustment with two adjacent properties in order to meet the 8-hectare minimum parcel size required by the Regional District for medical marijuana production.

On Dec. 19 at 2 and 7:30 p.m., Ballet Victoria (Cinderella, Dracula) will whisk you away to a fantasyland where nothing exists except you, the music and the wonder-filled story of The Nutcracker. Paul Destrooper’s interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker starts with a traditional family Christmas Eve party where a gift from an uncle unleashes a whirlwind of unexpected vignettes and surprises. The series continues in 2016 with Ballet Jorgen’s (Swan Lake, Romeo & Juliet) inspirational classical rendition of Sleeping Beauty Feb. 9 at 7:30 p.m. This major new ballet tells the enchanting story of Aurora and her prince complete with its inherently magical qualities and dazzling choreography.

Sonny Boys hit Kin stage at IPE Morning Star Staff
The Sonny Boys Band will be raising the roof during the Interior Provincial Exhibition, performing at the Armstrong Kin Club’s dance and beer garden Sept. 4 and 5 at 9 p.m. in the Armstrong Curling Club. “We look forward to this event every year,” said Kevin Bader, with the Sonny Boys. “This will be the 12th time Sonny Boys have had the privilege of playing for the Kin at the IPE. They do amazing work in the area and we’re proud to be able to host a fun-filled night of music for the Kin, knowing that the funds raised go directly back into worthy
causes in the community.” There is no cover charge to get into the dance and beer gardens. “We’ve done the dance forever,” said Lynne Anderson, club president. “It’s always a great couple of nights and we love the Sonny Boys. The guys are awesome and we enjoy their music so much.” Among the projects the Armstrong Kin Club has supported are the skateboard park, the new playground at Memorial Park, the free Christmas family skate, local bursaries, breakfast programs at all of the local schools and partnering with Boston Pizza and Cops for Kids to raise $20,000 last year.

Om makes waves
MONTREAL — Vernon locals The OM Sound have hit the road to success, and are finding it in Montreal. Originally from Vernon, the power-trio plays a mixture of conscious hip-hop, jazz-funk, and electro, and are wellknown in the underground B.C. scene for their deep bass, powerful sound and funky beats. “Last fall we headed on a one-way crossCanada tour, destination Montreal,” said Orion Miller, emcee, guitarist, bassist and vocalist in the band. “B.C. has been amazing to us, and it’s definitely home, but we have found an incredible population of people thriving on our style in Montreal and throughout Canada that pushes us onwards and upwards. In the hub of the city we find constant inspiration that reaches much farther than our current physical location.” The rest of the band consists of Marina Miller and Varoujan Mardirossian. Miller is another Vernonite and plays keyboards, synth bass, and vocals in The OM Sound. Mardirossian is originally from Toronto and completes the band as drummer. After gigging constantly all winter in Quebec and Ontario, The OM Sound’s influence has spread. “Things have grown this summer,” said Orion. “We’ve broken into the Quebec festival scene, and we were recently asked to perform for the Landmark Events festival in Montreal.” The Landmark Events Showcase is part competition, part showcase of local talent. After winning the first two rounds, the Vernon locals are on to the final, where they have the opportunity to win huge amounts of recording time, have their music distributed around Canada, and potentially work with major producers and labels. The final round takes place Sept. 5 and will be live-streamed around 6 p.m. Get your digital tickets by emailing theomsound@ gmail.com

HEALTH TIP TERESA SNYDER
brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist
Have you had your eyes checked lately? Your eyes are a great predictor of health problems. Your optometrist will check the blood vessels on your retina at the back of the eye. The condition of these blood vessels could indicate heart disease, high blood pressure or a risk of stroke. Even in young people, an eye exam could reveal a health problem in an otherwise healthy person. Eye exams are good medicine. The names for new drugs today are getting quite weird. They have to be unique and be understood in any language. We are seeing more new drug names with the letters “Q”, “X” and “Z” in them while “W” is seldom used. And the names are getting longer, many with more than four syllables and often hard to pronounce. Insomnia is a symptom not a disorder in itself. It can be caused by stress, depression, anxiety, restless legs, caffeine, shift work, pain and even medications. It’s very important to sleep well. If you aren’t, see your doctor. When a parent receives a note from the school that their child has lice, it’s not a happy time. Depending on where you live, your child could be sent home till the problem resolves. A parent’s best friend in these cases is a fine-tooth metal nitcomb with long tines to comb through the child’s hair regularly to remove nits. Daily or every other day is necessary and sometimes for two weeks. For more information about lice and treatment, you can talk to our pharmacists. Head lice is a common problem and with a bit of knowledge about the problem and a lot of patience, it can be controlled. We can help.

De La Soul (whom I love for adding a comedic side to their music). Straight Outta Compton fascinated me. It’s biopic, epic and complete from inception to present day. I agree you don’t have to be a rap fan to enjoy this film. I watched a Nina Simone documentary a couple of weeks ago; I don’t like her music, but the story was intriguing and the film well-made. Don’t judge this movie just because it’s about rap, judge it by how well it’s made and acted. This is a serious film worth noticing. TAYLOR: Run DMC is flowery? Well, What Happened Miss Simone? was great and made me fall in love with Simone’s music. (It’s on Netflix, check it out.) I’m not really down with NWA, although I do like some rap. NWA always struck me as immature, young and angry. In the film, as in their lives, some deal with things better than others. Dre and Cube are tycoons now. Other people are dead, some are in jail. It’s a hell of a story. The tension in Straight Outta Compton is real and it alone is worth the price of admission. Everything else is icing, really tasty icing. — Howe gives Straight Outta Compton 5 pool parties out of 5. — Taylor gives it 4.5 blue and red bandanas tied together out of 5.

Oscar Wilde said, “Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.” Not at the bridge table. If you play consistently and accurately, you will be hard to beat. And when you wish to master a particular cardplay technique, consistency - repetition - is a great teaching tool. At least, I hope so, because here is another elimination-andendplay deal. South roars into four spades. West leads the heart jack. Which defender holds the diamond queen? As I mentioned yesterday, some players with that North hand would respond four spades. But with no singleton, I think it is the
wrong bid. The hand has a lot of losers, and with the opponents out of the auction, perhaps NorthSouth can buy it in a making partscore. It would be different if, for example, West made a takeout double over one spade. Then North would have more to fear from an opposing heart contract. (However, I would still be loath to bid four spades.) After North bids two spades, South’s jump to four spades is slightly aggressive with no short suit, but any time you smell game, bid game. At first glance, South, with three club losers, must find the diamond queen - but not so, if he understands elimination and endplay. Declarer wins the first
trick, draws trumps, cashes his second heart winner, and exits with a club. The defenders take three tricks in the suit, but then the opponent on lead must either lead a diamond, finding the queen for South, or concede a ruff-andsluff, on which declarer’s diamond loser disappears.

1933 - 2015
We are saddened to announce the passing of Jean Ellen Webster on August 22, 2015 in Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Jean was born March 26, 1933 in Vancouver, B.C. She was predeceased by: her parents, George and Nellie Fleming; sisters: Kathlyn, Marie, and Irene; husband, Harvey (2008); son Harvey (1990); and daughter-in-law Lynn (2005). Jean is survived by: her brother George (Hilma) Fleming of Delta, B.C.; two sons, Raymond (Barb) of Kitimat, B.C., and Jeffrey (Kathy) of Vernon, B.C.; eight grandchildren; 6 great grandchildren; as well as several nieces, nephews, and extended family. Jean and Harvey were married in 1951 in Vancouver and spent the next 18 years there, working and raising their three boys who were born during the first four years of their marriage. Life was busy. Harvey was in the armed forces and often away while Jean worked in the laundry at Vancouver General Hospital. In 1969 the family relocated to Vernon when Harvey was transferred to manage the Vernon Army Camp. Jean was able to get a position in the laundry department of Vernon Jubilee Hospital. She was known to be a hard worker in a very demanding area of the hospital. She developed some lifelong friendships with her colleagues there. Jean took great pleasure in the family home and property on Okanagan Lake. She especially enjoyed watching the birds at her various feeders and enjoyed the challenge of attracting her favorite species with particular seed mixes. She took pride in tending to a variety of colorful flowers around her yard. An evening boat ride was also a favorite pastime. The family would like to thank the staff of Vernon Jubilee Hospital for their kindness during Jean’s numerous hospitalizations this past year. A special thank-you to the staff of 3 North and the Integrated Care Coordinator, Kari, for their compassion and care to smooth out Jean’s final journey.
