Blaze prompts quick response RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
An Okanagan Landing neighbourhood was on alert as a grass fire sparked to life Tuesday. The blaze was noticed on a hillside on Tronson Road, near Bella Vista Road, just after 2:30 p.m. “I heard an explosion, a bang,” said Rob Wylie, who lives across the street. “I saw flames and came running down and grabbed the neighbour’s hose. It’s amazing how quick it went.” There were some anxious moments for Max Burke as the blaze approached his home. “It was pretty crazy,” he said. “It could have really been a serious issue.” Crews from the Okanagan Landing and Vernon fire departments were soon on scene and dousing the flames with water. Jack Blair, Vernon deputy chief, says his main concerns were adjacent homes and power lines crossing the vacant lot where the fire began. “If the trees had started candling, it could have been a far different situation,” he said. The grass in the lot was about knee-high, and Blair. “Conditions are still far from favourable. The ground and grass are still very dry,” The cause had not been determined at press time.

Armstrong exhibition ends on a high note RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The 113th annual Interior Provincial Exhibition is being declared an overwhelming success. By the time the midway lights were dimmed Sunday night, 150,170 people had passed through the gates during the five days of the Armstrong fair. “Once the gates closed Sunday, 150,170 people had attended the 113th event over five days. “It’s our third best year,” said Bryan Burns, general manager. “Sunday was a really big day — 40,000 people.” About 153,853 people attended the fair in 2011 and
the record of 159,734 was set in 2010. North Okanagan residents made up the majority of the people on site, but there was also strong representation from Kelowna, the rest of the Interior and Alberta. Burns believes people were drawn to the IPE this year because of the focus on agriculture, as well as popular activities like the midway. The West Coast Lumberjack Show also drew them in. “People want shows like that and we added new ones, like Xtreme Wild, and they were flocking to them too,” said Burns.
“The rodeo was one of the best ever. We had most of the top cowboys in North America and they put on a great show,” said Burns. Between livestock, produce, baking and crafts, there were 7,000 entries on exhibit during the event. Burns is pleased with the steady feedback he received from people. “There were lots of great comments about how clean the grounds were and our cadets deserve credit for that.” He believes everything went as expected, but he admits there is always room for improvement and the goal is to make next year’s IPE the best in terms of

organization. “We’ve started that process already. We’ve already had meetings,” he said of planning. “We’re constantly striving to make things better.” Much of the success of the fair is a direct result of community participation behind the scenes. The IPE has 450 volunteers itself and then numerous non-profit groups have volunteers helping out at their exhibits or concession booths. “The amount of volunteer hours is fantastic,” said Burns. “Most of them take a week’s holidays or more and the team effort is terrific.”

Vernonite Ken Holland will be inducted into the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame Nov. 2. Holland is in his 15th season as general manager of the Detroit Red Wings. Brent Gilchrist, 45, of Vernon, who won the ‘98 Stanley Cup alongside Holland in Detroit, amassed 305 points in 792 NHL games with the Montreal Canadiens, Edmonton Oilers, Minnesota North Stars, Dallas Stars and Nashville Predators. Eddie Johnstone, who played with Holland
and the WHL Medicine Hat Tigers, went on to record 258 points in 426 games with the New York Rangers and Detroit. Johnstone enters the Okanagan shrine having played in the 1981 NHL All-Star Game. He produced back-to-back 30-goal sea-
Mayor says process allows detox facility RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s mayor is aware of concerns about a treatment facility but he says little can be done to prevent the plans. The John Howard Society is moving ahead with a 10-bed substance abuse facility for men in the 2500 block of 43rd Avenue. There will also be separate rental suites for men who are not addicted. “Council has not been involved in the process in any way because of the process,� said Mayor Rob Sawatzky of current zoning permitting the
proposed activities. “Bylaws and zoning protect the community from development it doesn’t want and it protects individuals from political interference.� Some residents have stated that a treatment facility is inappropriate in an area where there are schools, child care centres and seniors housing. The neighbours also believe there could be an increase in crime and residents could be put at risk. Because zoning and land use bylaws are not being changed, there was not a need for the city to hold a formal public hearing.

Despite that, Sawatzky insists council is willing to listen to residents. “If they don’t feel protected by bylaws, they have the option to make a presentation to council about their concerns.� The John Howard Society will hold an information meeting about its plans Thursday at Vernon Alliance Church at 7 p.m. Sawatzky hopes the meeting will have a positive outcome for both the society and the neighbours. “Information and dialogue are the most important things,� he said.

Three men known for their grit and determination in the NHL, one extraordinary female amateur golfer, four former world curling champions and a man who helped found the local swim club will be inducted into the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame Nov. 2 in Vernon. Highlighting the list as a builder is Ken Holland, already a B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame member who is entering his 15th season as general manager of the Detroit Red Wings. Holland, who started as a scout, is in his 29th year with the organization. “Kenny said he is committed to being here for the induction ceremony whether there is a work stoppage or not,� said shrine director Roger Knox. “The Red Wings are in Calgary on the Thursday and the luncheon is on the Friday. We’re really excited to have Kenny able to join us.� Since Holland was appointed to his current position in July 1997, the Red Wings have won more games (741) than any other NHL franchise. Under Holland’s watch the Red Wings have won three Stanley Cups (1998, 2002, 2008) and four Presidents’ Trophies. Holland, 55, was named the NHL’s GM of the Decade (2000-09) by Sports Illustrated. com. after the Wings recorded their 11th straight 100-point season. He was executive director for Canada’s Olympic gold-medal men’s hockey team in 2010.
sons with the Rangers from 1980-82. Jackie Little goes into the Hall of Fame after a scorching 20-year golf career which saw her win 17 individual international, Canadian and provincial golf championships. Her latest title was acquired this past summer, winning her third B.C. Senior Women’s crown in five years, her eighth senior championship since turning 50 five years ago. She now lives in Port Alberni. Brad Kuhn’s curling rink, winners of the 2000 World Junior title in Geising, Germany, will be inducted alongside his brother Ryan and teammates Kevin Folk (Kelowna) and Hugh Bennett (Salmon Arm). Brad is a teacher in Kelowna, while Ryan is a pilot in Vernon. Joining Holland in the shrine is Keith Brewis, who used to work alongside Ken’s father, Rienie Holland, with B.C. Hydro. Brewis, a former Vernon Good Citizen of the Year, was instrumental in getting the Vernon Kokanee Swim Club off the ground. He also helped the Sovereign Lake Nordic Ski Club for several years. Tickets ($25) for the hall of fame banquet luncheon at the Schubert Centre, will be on sale soon at Ticket Seller.

A fight that began inside a Vernon restaurant resulted in one man being arrested. The report of a man and woman fighting at the Subway in the Fruit Union Plaza on 25th Avenue was phoned into RCMP at 9:15 p.m. Sunday. A 54-year-old male suspect from Vernon allegedly broke a window at the restaurant on his way out of the

store and attempted to sell it,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “One of the people he tried to sell it to grabbed the bottle and took off running.”
The second person – the woman, said Molendyk – ran to the Subway where the suspect caught up with her. “There he then allegedly kicked the ‘wet floor’ sign at her and began yelling at her, asking who the man was that was with her,” said Molendyk. “The suspect then left the Subway, kicking the door on the way out and breaking it.” Police were told the
male suspect was headed toward Polson Park, and that’s where officers found him. The suspect was found attempting to hide by lying in Vernon Creek. “He refused to come out when asked by our officers, he resisted arrest and had to be removed from the creek,” said Molendyk. Through all of this, the stolen bottle of vodka was recovered by police and returned to
Stabbing sends local man to VJH ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
An alleged altercation at a Vernon house party left one guest with possible life-threatening injuries. Vernon RCMP officers were sent to a report of aggravated assault Saturday at 9:15 p.m. after a call from ambulance personnel stating a man had been stabbed in the 3700 block of 27th Street. “An altercation took place at a house party when an argument between two people broke out,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The victim of the stabbing, a
26-year-old Vernon man, had a two-inch stab wound on his left lower abdomen and was transported to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for treatment of a possible lifethreatening injury. A 25-year-old Vernon woman was later arrested for aggravated assault.

RCMP officers challenged to fight ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Some people don’t get the message from RCMP. Such was the case for a Vernon man who allegedly challenged police to a fight in his home. At about 1 a.m. Thursday, police received a report of a
34-year-old woman being assaulted by her common-law husband in the 1800 block of 33rd Street. “The woman advised our members that the suspect had consumed alcohol and cocaine and had attempted to push her out a window,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.
“When the police arrived, a 43-year-old male had locked himself in his bedroom and barricaded the door, then began yelling at police officers, challenging them to fight with him.” Officers were able to arrest the suspect with the use of pepper spray, and he was taken into
custody. The suspect was released at 9:30 a.m. the following morning on conditions which included not to return to the home or contact the woman. “At 9:57 a.m., 27 minutes later, our officers were called to the address again, and the suspect was re-arrested
Suspect located in alleged assault at IPE ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Timing is everything. An RCMP officer was driving by the Interior Provincial Exhibition grounds Aug. 29 when he was flagged down by a security guard, who told him about a fight that had occurred on the IPE grounds. “Police located a 21-year-old Armstrong man standing on the sidewalk near the grounds with a black eye,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “A witness told members the man pulled a knife on the other person in the fight.” The suspect was arrested for assault with a weapon and handcuffed, but RCMP officers were unable to find a knife. While dealing with the suspect, police found
him in possession of 23 individually packaged onegram baggies of marijuana. “He was arrested for possession for the purpose of trafficking and a breach of his suspended sentence,” said Molendyk, adding officers were not able to determine a charge of assault with a weapon because no knife was found. The incident was one of many that kept RCMP officers busy throughout the IPE, which wrapped up Sunday. “Our officers assisted with reuniting parents with kids who went missing on the grounds, and there were liquor and drug incidents both on and off the grounds,” said Molendyk. “But there was nothing that we weren’t prepared for. We had enough officers patrolling in and around the grounds.”

Effluent discharge proposal draws fire RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
An environmental group is challenging the possibility of treated effluent being pumped into Okanagan Lake. The City of Vernon is considering lake discharges of reclaimed water that exceeds the need for irrigating fields
and parks. “Treated or not, no effluent should be discharged directly into any lake,” said Brad Foster, with Sierra Club Okanagan. “Even the treated effluent from sewage plants can contain pollutants such as traceharmful chemicals and
“Why is our treated water any different?” — Cunningham excess nutrients that can stimulate bacteria and algae growth that
can adversely affect aquatic life as well as water quality.”
An outfall pipe in Okanagan Lake was constructed in the late 1980s. There has only been one discharge ever, in 1996. That was a result of a wet summer preventing irrigation and the reservoir level had to be reduced. Some officials have suggested discharging into the lake would reduce the power costs of pumping effluent up the hill to the spray irrigation reservoir in
the Commonage. But Foster says options are required. “A solar energy system should be installed,” he said. The concept of lake discharges has surfaced as part of the city’s liquid waste management plan review. “This isn’t to say this is where we’re going,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham, adding that the review process will include public consultation.
“When you’re looking at a long-range plan, you need to look at everything. There may be some years when we can’t irrigate like we do (because of weather).” Cunningham also questions why some groups are so focused on Vernon. “Why is our highly treated water any different than that being discharged into the lake by Kelowna and other communities?” said Cunningham.

o one should fault people who think BX Ranch Park has gone to the dogs. Drive past the BX Road site and all you will see are dogs running around and their humans trying to keep pace. It’s never been officially designated as a dog-only park but that is the general assumption because there is absolutely nothing else to do there. The Regional District of North Okanagan purchased the 11-hectare site in 1995 but it has provided no infrastructure that would appeal to the broad-based community. Where is the playground? Picnic tables are virtually invisible and good luck finding a washroom. Richard Rolke With the exception of the occasional person wanting to stretch their legs (without a pooch), why would you go unless you are a big fan of dead grass? The regional district is launching a process this fall to determine the future of the park, but why is this only occurring almost two decades later? Of course RDNO isn’t the only factor involved. The BX Community Association used to host the BX Stagecoach Stopover there years ago. The event was extremely popular as local residents gathered to celebrate their community’s identity and its role in our local heritage. But ultimately, Stopover ceased and the general public forgot about the park. Indifference led to it being turned over to canine enthusiasts. The association is now trying to reestablish a presence.

“We want to get it back to a people park,” said Terry Slobodin, a board member. To reinforce its efforts, the association has been surveying people to see how they want the park to develop, or at least what they would tolerate. Hands-down, the majority of the respondents want off-the-leash access for dogs to continue and they don’t want a smaller, fenced area for dogs. There was strong support for washrooms, garbage cans and picnic tables, and weaker support for a playground and an open air shelter. There are lots who like the idea of special events, but there is also a considerable group who are opposed. Slobodin insists the association is not antidog. “We’re trying to accommodate everyone within reason,” she said. That’s a good sentiment and pet owners must understand that BX Ranch Park is owned by the public. Given that there are 11 hectares, there is ample room for dogs to roam and have a separate area for picnics, special events and children. Mixed uses could lead to conflicts between people and animals but those situations can be avoided if dogs are kept under control. But rightly or wrongly, dog lovers have taken it for granted that they have complete access to the park. Once you are used to things a certain way there is naturally going to be resistance to any changes. Full marks should go to RDNO and the BX Community Association for trying to maximize a recreational resource, but doing so after years of neglect is similar to leaving the back door open and wondering why Fido has run wild.
As the steady sunshine and scorching temperatures of an Okanagan summer slowly begin to fade away for another year, the first signs of autumn are sure to be just around the corner. The first of those signs made an appearance Tuesday morning as thousands of youngsters across the Okanagan headed off for the first day of a new school year. And with those youngsters caught up in the excitement of seeing classmates again comes a reminder for motorists. Drivers are asked to use extra caution when heading off to work Tuesday morning. But that caution should continue beyond Tuesday morning. The 30 km-h school zone speed limit will be back in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. And the caution should extend beyond just school zones. Drivers are advised to leave a little extra time to reach their destination so they can slow down to keep an eye out for youngsters darting into the road. And if you see a vehicle stopped in front of you or the lane beside you, be prepared to stop as they may be yielding for a young pedestrian. Parents dropping off children in a school zone should always allow them to exit onto the sidewalk side of the vehicle and never allow a child to cross midblock. Parents should also speak with younger children about the rules of the road. Children should cross at intersections that have a pedestrian crossing light or marked crosswalk wherever possible. It is safer to walk on the inside edge of the sidewalk, away from traffic, and to walk facing traffic if there is no sidewalk so drivers are better able to see you. Police throughout the Okanagan will again be out to enforce the school speed zones, with tickets ranging from $167 to $253. But a momentary lapse in judgment on the part of a driver can carry a far steeper cost.

Comments spark response
I
must take offence to some of the comments I am reading and hearing on television from the OK Landing firefighter representative. Specifically that lives will be endangered by switching to the Vernon Fire Department model. This is pure fear mongering, and patently not true! If anyone thinks for one minute, that if all the Landing firefighters resign, there will be no fire coverage in the Landing, they are most assuredly wrong. Vernon will see to it that the Landing is adequately covered, either with full-time or volunteer firefighters, who likely will be staying at the Landing hall. The issue is over training. Yes, the Landing volunteers are trained. Are they trained the same as Vernon? Do they make themselves available to train with Vernon? Firefighting is a constantly evolving job. Then there is the issue of The Rise fire. I do not profess to know the reasons why OK Landing was not immediately paged out, but as an ex-volunteer firefighter, I know that the policy when I was in was to send the full-time guys first, and if
LANDING FIREFIGHTERS I have not said anything about the OK Landing Fire Hall in the past as I believe they have done an absolutely great job in the 31 years I have lived in the Landing. I have known several volunteers in the hall and they have been very proud to be a representative of that hall. They train every Tuesday and more when needed. I know of several situations that have been only the Landing responding and a great job has been done. I take real offence to the statement made by Juliette Cunninghan (acting mayor) in the Global News this morning stating " the hall will have more opportunities once we know the level of training they have, they will have more opportunity to take on a fire on their own without the backup of the main hall."
more manpower was needed, to page the volunteers. Why? Only one reason – money. Once you page, everyone who gets that page and responds, gets paid. Now money is a really lousy reason to not page out everyone, but in today’s world it is the way things are done. It is the taxpayers who guide this policy by not wanting their taxes to rise. The captain on the Vernon truck has policy to follow, and his hands are tied. This is also the reason that the Landing department does not do Medical First Responder calls, as everyone would have to be paged, not just the three to four mem-
The main hall has not been a part of the Landing response for many years in the past and only now have they come to be this "backup". This statement makes it sound like the Landing is not able or trained to do this without their "big brothers" from the Main Hall. I believe this is not true. As a long-term resident and taxpayer of the Landing I would like it known that I, in full confidence know that this hall can respond to anything that happens in the Landing and do it well as an independent volunteer firehall. In closing I want it known that my household in the Landing supports the Okanagan Landing Hall fully and would like to see it be left alone to be the hall it is now and has been for a very long time.

bers needed. If there is a motor vehicle accident, involving rescue (the only time the Landing will respond to a possible medical emergency), everyone is paged, although often very few members are actually needed. Lastly, I would like to speak in favor of Vernon's paid firefighters. I work with these people regularly (no, I am not a firefighter, or a member of the Vernon Fire Department) and they are a very professional, well-trained and competent group. There seems to be some stigma with these members being based out of the Landing hall. Having them in the hall will
DOWNTOWN ROCKS I would like to take this opportunity to send out a huge 'Thank you' to Holly Schmidt, Shandree Seymour and the Downtown Vernon Association for making such a huge effort to include local musicians and artists in the promotion of our beautiful downtown core. This summer, artists and musicians alike, have had the opportunity to perform and showcase their art in Vernon's downtown through the 'Sights and Sounds' and 'Civic Sounds' projects. Citizens and tourists of Vernon have had the opportunity to see and hear the hard work and dedication of local artists in a relaxed, inviting way at no cost, due to the hard work of the dedicated staff at the Downtown Vernon Association. Thank you also to the kind store
not only give a more rapid fire response for the Landing area, but would also provide a more timely medical first response for the Landing, including areas like Ellison Park and the Outback, as they would no longer have to come from downtown. They currently respond to all calls in the Landing area anyway. This could save lives! There would still have to be volunteers to provide the manpower needed on a large fire. The training would be seamless, as everyone would be on the same page. Also, as taxpayers, the citizens of Vernon already pay for full-time firefighters through their taxes. Last I heard, the Landing was part of the City of Vernon. Does the Landing pay different taxes than the other citizens of the city? I do not profess to know all the reasons for the problem that has arisen. I think the issues we are hearing publicly are not the real reasons this is happening. I am sure that the issues are many and varied, but do not use fear mongering to win your case. No lives will ever be put in jeopardy. Bob Cail
owners downtown for encouraging these events and staying open late to accommodate them. This kind of cooperation in our community is lovely to see and I hope to watch it continue next year. Thank you to Evolution Sound for providing such quality and professional sound for 'Civic Sounds' every Thursday. Being a sound technician in a small town has got to be challenging, yet, Greg Miller and his staff are patient and provide an exceptional service to the audience and performers alike. Showcasing our local talent in this way is very special and I sincerely look forward to another successful summer of it next year. Jayme McKillop local musician and community enthusiast

Jazz club opens with local guitar great DVOIRA YANOVSKY For The Morning Star
Cool summer evenings herald the return of the coolest thing of all: a new season at the Vernon Jazz Club. Its welcome back gig this Saturday night features the terrifically popular virtuoso Vernon guitarist Les Copeland. Copeland is joined by bandmates Bill Haner on bass and Charlie Fisher on drums. The trio embraces many styles. “The music that we play kind of goes across several genres – folk, blues, jazz, rock ‘n roll, country – but it’s our take on popular and even some obscure tunes,” said Copeland. The band fea— Les tures composers like Sonny Boy Williamson, Honeyboy Edwards, Robert Johnson, Django Reinhardt, The Rolling Stones, and The Beatles, to name a few. “We’ll be playing medium-tempo shuffles and Chuck Berry kind of stuff,” added Copeland. Copeland will also feature some original tunes. “Any originals will be mine. For example, we’ll be playing Big Mouth, inspired by a conversation I had with Honeyboy Edwards about (bluesman) Son House,” explained Copeland. Copeland has absorbed just about
every acoustic and slide guitar style out there, from Mississippi Delta stylings to jazz to Celtic folk. Beginning as a country bluesman with a bottleneck “stuck on one finger,” Copeland developed his versatility by adding jazz and rock to his repertoire. Hiding his age to play the Vancouver clubs, Copeland was already a professional by age 15, eventually fronting the Les Copeland Band and Les Copeland and the Red Hot Ramblers. Copeland counts many sources of inspiration for his music. “I get my inspiration and great joy from discovering various bebop and Copeland blues players from the ‘20s, ‘30s, and ‘40s, especially their lyrics. Another one is Vernon’s number one street musician, the one and only Mr. Don Monty – truly an inspiration,” said Copeland. Copeland is especially passionate about one of his current inspirations, guitarist James Lehmann. “James is one of the most gentle, innovative, dedicated, and ferocious guitarists I have ever met. He lives and dies by his guitar talent,” said Copeland. Describing his style as a kind of “musical stew,” Copeland hits his stride when improvising.
“I get my inspiration and great joy from discovering various bebop and blues players from the ‘20s, ‘30s, and ‘40s, especially their lyrics.”

Vernon guitarist Les Copeland and his band opens the Vernon Jazz Society’s 2012-13 season with a performance at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. “I never play anything the same way twice – there’s always a large component of improvisation. I prefer to play in a train-of-thought style; I don’t like to stay with any one bag too long,” he said. Copeland is eager to perform at the Vernon Jazz Club. “It’s a wonderful venue for both musicians and audiences,” he said. Upcoming plans include a fall tour from Chicago to Mississippi, and a new CD, It Ain’t Easy Being Sleazy.
Haner and Fisher both met Copeland while in their teens. Haner is an exceptionally talented, self-taught musician. He played guitar in school bands at W.L. Seaton and Vernon secondary schools and has toured with many different bands over the years. An improviser like Copeland, the two enjoy “generating surprises” during performances. Fisher grew up in Lumby and started drumming around the time The Beatles appeared on radio.
Totally self-taught, Fisher picked up his skills in the Hastings Street night clubs of the ‘60s and early ‘70s. Tickets for Saturday’s performance at the Vernon Jazz Club (located at 3000-31st St. above Nolan’s Pharmasave, downtown) are $20 at the Bean Scene and Bean to Cup coffee houses. Jazz Society members will get a rebate at the door. Memberships are also available at the door, which opens at 7:15 p.m. Music starts at 8 p.m.
French favourite The Intouchables kicks off film society season Submitted to The Morning Star
The Vernon Film Society is starting a new exciting season of films at the Vernon Towne Cinema on Monday. They will be shown at the usual times of 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. Fall programs are available at the theatre, the Vernon Public Art Gallery, and other outlets around town. The first film of the season is the award winning crowd pleaser, The Intouchables. The movie tells the story of the improbable friendship between a wealthy quadriplegic and a young offender of Sengalese descent.
Based on a true story, the young man, Driss (played by Omar Sy), applies for a job as a caregiver to Philippe (Francois Cluzet), who has been injured in a paragliding accident. He only applies as he needs proof he is looking for work to continue to get state benefits. Philippe is looking for someone who will not pity him, and against others’ wishes, he hires Driss. He is charmed by Driss’ brash self confidence and sometimes brutal straightforwardness, and a friendship is born.
Driss learns from Philippe, as Philippe learns from Driss, and there is much humour in the movie. Attending art gallery openings and concerts is a revelation to Driss who was brought up in the high-rise ghettos of Paris. He attempts to liven up the concert goers with his own kind of music and even manages a con with painting a modern “masterpiece” and selling it. The movie has broken box office records as one of the highest grossing non-English language films of all times and was nominated for nine awards at France’s Cesar Awards. Sy won

Critic Roger David Kaplan wrote: “The Intouchables is a special film for mature audiences. No special effects, no 3D, just a solid story with extraordinary actors giving memorable performances.” The film is in French with English subtitles. Tickets are $7, available at the door, the Bean Scene, and the Towne Cinema.

One might say, the orchard is the apple of Julie Elliot’s artistic eye, at least the Canadian orchard. While she is also a veteran grower, the Lake Country-based artist branches out into a new area of the Okanagan art scene this season as her work Julie Elliott becomes the poster front for this year’s Lake Country ArtWalk advertisements. The installation was created for the 2011 growing season and is being used as an example of the “Art for Change” theme of this year’s event as it takes a bite out of the free trade debate and showcases the plight of local farmers. Illustrating how American apples flood the Canadian market, making it difficult for orchardists to survive, Elliot hopes the piece gives all those who stop by her print installation a taste of the disparity between American and Canadian growers. “The market is just deluged with American apples,” she said. “It was made for the 2011 growing season and at that time I think there were 109 million boxes of apples in Washington to three million grown in B.C.” The original piece thus had 109 prints of apples representing 109 million boxes of apples; in the middle of all those boxes sat three real apples, impaled on spikes, depicting the Canadian portion of the fruit business.
CONTRIBUTED
Julie Elliot’s installation, Buy B.C., reminds us of the disparity between Canadian and American farmers. Looking at pictures of the installation, it’s easy to see the imbalance; and the point could equally be made for cherries. This year, cherry orchards topped the headlines with stories of fruit crops left to rot on the tree because cheap fruit from the States eliminated Canadian growers’ profit margins. Elliot knows the farmers’ plight can seem baffling. She’s heard the questions and admits she didn’t fully appreciate the problem herself until she finished the work. “I knew it intellectually, but until I made that visual connection, I didn’t really have the full (scope) of the issue,” she said. Her point in making this piece is to demonstrate how important it is to buy B.C. Every year, she and her husband stop in at grocery stores throughout the province to see if there are Canadian apples for purchase, often with dismal results.
“I think it’s improving,” she said. “For years, you wouldn’t be able to buy anything other than American, but today you can usually find some (Canadian).” When she installs Buy B.C., as the piece is called, it will have evolved. There are now four million boxes of Canadian apples grown and sent to market to 116 million American; hence there will be 116 apple prints and four real apples. This is the 18th year of Lake Country’s ArtWalk and the event is as essential to the Okanagan art scene as apple pie is to the American way of life. With painters and photographers, sculptors, fibre artists and performers, ArtWalk fills the Lake Country Community Complex on Bottomwood Lake Road with more than 300 artists and 3,000 original works. Typically, attendance tops 7,000 and the price of admission is a toonie. The event runs Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

in awe and inspired by the control he takes over acoustic instruments at live events, the Penticton-based artist is promoting his eighth solo album, Lie Within The Line. The album, available online Saturday

Sharing comfort and awareness World Suicide Prevention Day Sept. 10 is a time to remember the lives of those whose despair took away their feelings of hope and died by suicide CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Just about anybody could commit suicide: no one is immune. The B.C. Coroners Service suicide statistics for 2010 show that there were 113 suicides for people ages 50-59, 95 for ages 40-49 and 35 for ages 13-19. One suicide was under age 12. A total of 530 British Columbians, 110 female and 420 male, committed suicide in 2010. “Some of the signs that might indicate that a person is thinking about suicide might be talking about feeling worthless or wanting to end it all, giving away personal possessions, seeming depressed or hopeless, or preparing for death when there is no reason like a terminal diagnosis, collecting medications, and changes in interests, for example, an interest in firearms when they have not been interested before,” said Hellmut Noelle, a counselor at the Family Resource Centre and one of the speakers at World Suicide Prevention Day taking place Sept. 10. “When in doubt, simply ask people if they are thinking about suicide. If they say yes, the wrong thing to do is to say,
‘you haven’t got the courage to do it,’ or ‘you’re just saying that to get attention.’ As a counselor, I don’t remember ever encountering an attempted suicide as an attention getter. “The right thing to do is to take it seriously. Ask for further information. Talk about it and assure them that it is normal and nothing to be ashamed about. Most people think about suicide at some time in their life. That doesn’t make them a bad person or an evil person or a failure. Encourage the person to get help by talking to their doctors, a counselor or someone they trust. Talking about it defuses the pressure and helps a person see a way through the current situation.”
“Talking about it defuses the pressure and helps a person see a way through the current situation.” — Hellmut Noelle Noelle said that if a person is with someone who seems serious about suicide in the immediate future, do not hesitate to call 911 where they will be connected to someone who will ask questions to assess the situation and provide help. In the most severe cases, the police will be sent in. World Suicide Prevention Day on Sept. 10 will be marked with a Remembrance Ceremony to take place at the Performing Arts Centre lobby (3800-33rd St., near the Recreation Complex). The event is open to anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide recently or
long ago, and those who want to know how to support them. People are welcome to attend and watch and no one will approach them but they can ask to talk to someone if they want. There will be guest speakers, printed materials on loss and mental health available and a closing ceremony; people attending can drop rose petals in the creek in memory of loved ones. Something new has been added to this year’s World Suicide Prevention Day event in Vernon. Soles to Remember Souls invites people to donate a pair of new or nearly new shoes or boots as a reminder that no one has to walk alone — suicide is everyone’s loss. The shoes/boots can be brought to the event or dropped off in advance at the Canadian Mental Health Association (3100-28 Ave.). The shoes/boots will be donated to the John Howard Society’s Shelters, Gateway Support Services for Women and Men, and the Howard House Men’s programs. The event is sponsored by Vernon & Area Suicide Prevention committee, partner agencies, the PIN Crisis Line, the United Way North Okanagan Columbia Shuswap, and the government of British Columbia. The event is a time to remember the lives of those whose pain and despair took away their feelings of hope and who died by suicide, to provide comfort to those who grieve and let them know they are not alone, and to publicly declare and renew commitment to preventing suicide in the community. Anyone who feels at risk of committing suicide or know someone who might be, should call the PIN Crisis Line at 1-800353-CARE (2273) for information, support and referrals.

T
here might be a couple of weeks left of the summer but when I turned the calendar page to September, for me it spelled the end of another season and the start of garden clean-up. All my tomato vine tops have been cut off to give a chance to the green tomatoes to ripen. Any blossoms now would only cause the plant to put energy in making more fruits which would not ripen or be too small for harvest. The days are getting Jocelyne Sewell shorter and much cooler now. The beans have slowed down but I managed to freeze enough “Spanish beans,” one of my favourite recipes. I also made a large batch of “Tourlu” which is an Armenian version of the classic French ratatouille. I really like that it uses up so many of your garden vegetables and freezes very well. Three years ago, I purchased two Triple Crown thornless blackberry canes. I got them late in the season and they remained in the pots for the winter. In
A GARDENER’S DIARY
the spring, I transplanted them but in the wrong place and had to move them in the fall. Last year the deer managed to come in the yard and chewed most of the tips. This year, they are going wild. I just started harvesting some of the berries. They are very big and have an excellent taste but they have to be completely ripe for the sweetness. The Triple Crown blackberry plant is named for its three crowning attributes: flavour, productivity and vigour. The semi-erect nature of the Triple Crown blackberry is similar to a trailing berry plant and requires trellising for optimum production. Once the canes reach about 30 inches, they begin to fall over to the ground. Some of the new canes this year are 10 feet and more. According to some tests, the yield could be 30 pounds of fruit per vine. Zones 5-9. On June 20, I transplanted some corn in the front yard, about 24 plants. With full sun exposure and the heat of July, they grew very well. Tom waters the front part of the garden and he made sure that they would not go thirsty. We could almost see them going up and in no time, all the plants were very tall. Some
of them measure about seven feet. The problem was that nothing was showing yet and by Aug. 15, I was almost ready to cut them down and forget about it. Suddenly, the ears came on and for the last week, we’ve been having corn every second day. The taste is just so good. Get the cobs, clean them, put in cold water enough to cover and once the water boils, get them out, sit at the table and enjoy. I am already planning for some more next year. If you have too many fruits and vegetables in your garden, don’t let them spoil. The food bank is always in need of fresh produce and the Upper Room Mission, with all the meals they serve, is always happy to receive your surplus. Fruits that rot on the ground attract bears and other animals. There are four raccoons living around our area. I saw them when I was walking the dog early one morning. With September on, regular activities are renewed. The Okanagan Gardens and Roses garden club will meet again on Sept. 10 at 7:30 p.m. at Schubert Centre. Everyone is welcome. For more information, call 250-5584556.

W
e are well into canning season now, and with the huge supply of fresh vegetables and fruit in our area, it’s the perfect opportunity to can, pickle, and make all those special recipes that we love to eat and give as gifts. I have my favourite salsas, pickles, antipasto, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauces, and spaghetti sauce recipes ready to go. There are many great salsas to make Cathi Litzenberger and enjoy fresh or canned: tomato-based, green salsa, corn, pepper, fruit, mild to fiery hot, some with vinegar, others, especially fresh salsas, with lime juice, there is no end to the variety. Salsa can be served with tortilla chips, or try spooning warm salsa over scrambled eggs or an omelette for breakfast. Salsa makes a healthy dip for raw veggies such as cauliflower, carrot sticks, celery, cucumber slices, etc. Pour salsa over beans and rice for authentic Mexican flavor. Another idea is to mix sour cream or yogurt for a quick, low fat salad dressing. Our first salsa below is a fresh delight I’m sure you’ll love. The second salsa is a
KITCHEN WIT & WISDOM
simple tomato based salsa to can for the months ahead. This past week I saw the biggest supply and variety of peppers anywhere at Swan Lake Nurseryland so if you need peppers you’re sure to find what you need there. Happy canning. Avocado Feta Salsa 2 plum tomatoes, chopped 1 ripe avocado — peeled, pitted and chopped 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon red or white wine vinegar 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese In a bowl, gently stir together tomatoes, avocados, onion and garlic. Mix in parsley and oregano. Gently stir in olive oil and vinegar. Stir in feta. Cover and chill 2 to 6 hours. This is a chunky, savoury summer salsa that tastes great with pita or tortilla chips. Simple Tomato Salsa to Can 8 cups tomatoes, peeled, chopped, drained 2- 1/2 cups onions, chopped 1- 1/2 cups green peppers or mix colours 1 cup jalapeno peppers, chopped 6 garlic cloves, minced 2 teaspoons cumin 2 teaspoons pepper
1/8 cup canning salt 1/3 cup sugar 1/3 cup vinegar 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce 1 (12 ounce) can tomato paste Cut jalapenos in half, wear gloves — discard ribs and seeds; chop finely to make 1 cup. In large heavy non-aluminum saucepan combine everything and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, stirring often for 1 hour or until thickened; place 1 Tbsp. of salsa on a plate and tilt the plate — the salsa should flow slowly in one stream. Meanwhile, fill boiling water bath canner about two thirds full with hot water; bring to just below a boil and keep it hot. Wash and rinse canning jars and bands.

Restructuring continues in Lake Country. The district is moving ahead with phase two of its business systems review, which includes looking at contracted services and regional functions. “The district continues to contract out most of its road and sewer system maintenance,� said Alberto de Feo, chief administrative officer. “Given their size and scope, these contracts in particular are being reviewed to look for more efficiencies and to maximize the district’s value-formoney.� Council is also not renewing a geographic information services contract with the Regional District of Central Steve Windsor Okanagan. In addition, Lake Country is part of a review of the regional rescue services function, which includes fire dispatch, hazmat and marine rescue. “The structure of the region and the capabilities of the fire departments within the region have changed dramatically since most of the function was established,� said Steve Windsor, fire chief. “We believe there are efficiencies and savings to be found.� Finally, there will be a review of development cost charges (fees from development to help build infrastructure). “The update will take into account changes in projects, growth patterns, and construction costs since the last comprehensive review was completed in 2005 and will include consultation with the development community,� said Stephen Banmen, chief financial officer. The first phase of the business systems review led to the number of staff being reduced and the development permit process being streamlined.

Vernon school introduces new technology Morning Star Staff
In times of fiscal restraint and tight budgets, Vernon Christian School has taken a leap of faith in order to pro-
vide its students with new computers and access to cutting-edge technology. After conducting a needs assessment, the
school’s board and the information tecnhology team, headed by VCS’s vice-principal and IT systems administrator Brad Martens, made its
formal recommendation to the board. “The board recognized the need for the school to provide the best learning environment for our students,” said Dennis Huizinga, board chairperson. “And with that standard
in mind, a technology upgrade was necessary.” Consultation was then made with a number of vendors including Apple Canada. Soon after, 45 new iMac computers were delivered along with interactive white boards
and ceiling mounted projectors. Martens invested most of his summer preparing the network for the upgrades and setting up the computer labs. “Unpacking new equipment is always
fun. It was like an ultimate Christmas morning for any IT person,” said Martens. “And yes, at times, it was a challenge, but my desire to have it set up for the students and staff the first day back is what kept me going.”

Bennetto nets Labour Day crown Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Murray Bennetto can add another title to his collection from the annual Labour Day Tennis Championships. At the 101st installment last weekend at the Kalamalka Country Club, Bennetto, the former head pro at the American Club in Hong Kong, overwhelmed Alex Kotai of Abbotsford 6-0, 6-2 to win the men’s A title. In the consolation final, Jerry Reinhardt of Vernon outlasted former junior Vernon player Reid Clarke, who now lives in Calgary, 7-5, 6-2. The event was played under superb conditions, drawing more than 90 players from across B.C. and Alberta. It featured A and B divisions in men’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles, as well as a women’s A singles group. “The weather determines the success and flow of a tennis tournament, especially when you have many matches to be played,” said tournament director Ray Kimoto. In the men’s B singles, Everett Knight of Vancouver won an exciting match over Joe McFadden of Vernon, 7-6, 4-6, 7-6. In the consolation final, Randy Heslop of Kamloops grounded Allen Knight of Vancouver, 6-0, 7-5. Vernon’s Meryl Ogden ruled the women’s A singles, sweeping Vancouver’s Monica Morato, 6-3, 6-3, for the crown. Consolation winner was Vernon’s Supha Phonchaingkwang over Kelowna’s Marnie Perrier, 6-3, 6-2. Vernon 16-year-old Anna Cherkowski fell in one of the semifinals to Morato, 6-3, 6-2. In the women’s A doubles, Vernon’s Eva Koksalova and Kelowna’s Elena Audy brushed back Ogden and Rosie Schaich of Kelowna, 5-6, 6-4, 10-8. The women’s B doubles title went to the Kamloops duo of Jan Newlove and Helen Dunn, who defeated Vernon’s Bonnie Anderson and Kelowna’s Yvonne Faulkner, 6-3, 6-3. In a tight men’s A doubles final, Vernon’s Jeremy Bell and Kotai shaded Prince George brothers Jim Condon and Kristian Kiland,
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Jerry Reinhardt of Vernon stretches out to return a shot at the Labour Day Tennis Tournament Saturday at the Kalamalka Country Club. 5-7, 6-2, 6-4. In the semis, the Vernon team of Ralph Stevens and Reinhardt lost an exciting match to Bell and Kotai, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3. Vernon’s Dave Valouch and Reid Clarke teamed up to take the men’s B doubles, rallying to upend McFadden and John Widing, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. In an all-Vernon semifinal, Valouch and Reid defeated Gary Edwards and Frits Bakker, 6-4, 6-3. The mixed A doubles provided some of the most entertaining matches as the
winning and runner-up teams struggled to reach the finals. In the semis, Rosie and Joe Schaich, fell to Koksalova and Vernon’s Craig Tilander, 7-6, 4-6, 11-9, while in the other semi, Lyse Tremblay and Dan Albrecht, both from Kelowna, lost to the mother-son team of Nancy and Jim Condon, both of Prince George, 6-7, 6-1, 10-8. In the final Koksalova and Tilander swept the Condons, 7-5, 6-3. In the mixed B doubles, the Kelowna tandem of Krista Martens and Joel dePfyffer
stopped Anne Ellis (Vernon) and Curtis Hamilton (Penticton) 6-2, 5-7, 10-6. Martens and dePfyffer reached the final with a 6-0, 6-0 semifinal sweep of Vernon’s Judi McIntosh and Edwards. Kimoto thanked fellow tennis committee members Gordon Mann and Dave Valouch; Karalee Drdul and Alice Kimoto for preparing snacks and lunches; Barry Bojarski and Laurie Lyons for the barbecue dinner; club caretaker Tony Bastian; and other support from Voets Coffee, Quails’ Gate Winery, Canadian Tire and The Morning Star.
Riedstra hat trick powers tiremen attack Morning Star Staff
Roland Riedstra pulled the hat trick as Big O Tire/Turn Key Ogopogos shaded host Salmon Arm McIsaac & Co. 4-3 in Capri Insurance 45+ Soccer League play Monday night. The Ogopogos took over sole possession of fifth place by racking up three quick goals under the lights. Striker Mark Wasylyk jumpstarted the offence by breaking in and deking Salmon Arm keeper Allan Bensmiller for his 12th goal of the year. Reidstra then scored on a deflection off a Wasylyk shot, and added another on a break in, finding the corner, for his 12th of the season. Salmon Arm replied in the second half on a beautiful well-placed kick by Dave Howes into the high corner over the outstreched arm of Ogopogo keeper Yogi Kongsdorf. The Shuswap boys (7-11-2) made it more interesting with a quick goal on a nice cross by Wolfgang Bopp and a header by Steve Murphy. Riedstra completed the hat trick before Salmon Arm responded on a two-man break with Bopp converting. Second-place Kelowna Marketplace IGA stopped the
stubborn Silver Stars 5-3 at Marshall Field #5. IGA opened the scoring at 10 minutes with a crafty 15-yard chip under the cross bar from Larry Kinakin. IGA (17-2-1) furthered their lead with a trademark breakaway goal from league topping striker Lionel Hoffman, short side. IGA held a great field advantage in the first half but were unable to increase their lead. In the second half, the Stars (9-6-5) scored their first goal on a triple header play. Rob Bauml flicked a goal kick onto Steve Church who flicked it to Rick Danyluk down the right channel. Danyluk floated a beautiful cross back to Church, who headed it in through the finger tips of Woody Woodhouse. IGA regained their two-goal cushion when Don Brown scored on a spot kick, but the Stars responded when Art Renaud drew his own penalty and made no mistake to the right side. Just five minutes later, Renaud drew two defenders to the edge of the 18 and cut a ball back to Bauml, who bent a beauty left footer into the far corner from 22 yards out. IGA earned several indirect free kicks and finally were
rewarded when Dante Zanatta scored off the far post and in. The Stars stretched themselves to equalize, but Brown scored his second of the night after he picked up an errant pass and burst through the heart of the Stars’ defence to tuck the ball home. The Leko Precast Camels finally got some playing time after two straight forfeit wins, and punished the Pushor Mitchell Advocates 7-0 at Parkinson #16 Field. Steve Milne converted a feed from Dan Zieske in the first minute, while Jim Mottus nodded in a Zieske corner 60 seconds later. Rick Raber then rattled off a hat trick in eight minutes. Al Murphy added a deuce in the second half for the thirdplace 15-4-1 Humpbacks, who had Dave Dutcher in net. The Advocates dipped to 5-13-2. Fourth-place Lake Country FC spotted Bosman Accounting the go-ahead goal before clawing out a 3-1 victory at Marshall Field #2. Ian Murphy soared over a defender and nodded in a cross from Tom Ouchi to give Bosman the early second-half lead.

Ringette: Fun and friendship happen on ice!
The Vernon Yellow Jackets used a balanced rushing attack and a stingy defense as the formula to defeat the host West Kelowna Sun Devils 22-0 in Pee Wee football action Sunday. Bryce Tkachuk opened the Yellow Jacket attack with a four-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter. He followed it up with a 42-yard touchdown scamper on the ensuing possession. Both extra points were converted by kicker Liam Glennon to make it 16-0 for Vernon. Tailback Riley Macgillivray scored Vernon’s third touchdown on a nifty 12-yard run just before the half to go up 22-0. “Our offence started out slow and had trouble moving the ball early,” said Jackets’ head coach Bryan Cragg. “However, Tkachuk sparked us with some nice outside running – especially on the 42 yarder.” The second half was dominated by defence with neither team finding the end zone. Vernon’s Matthew Reich led the Yellow Jacket Swarm on defense with an MVP performance. He finished with eight tackles, three quarterback sacks and one fumble recovery. Said Cragg: “Matthew was all over the field making plays for us. If he wasn’t in the backfield sacking the QB, he was tracking down the ball carrier and bringing him down. Our defence as a whole did a good job limiting their rushing attack, putting pressure on the quarterback and creating turnovers. ” The Yellow Jackets (2-0) take on the Kelowna Lions (2-0) in a battle for first place at Grahame Park (11 a.m.) Sunday.

22-0 to the West Kelowna Sun Devils Sunday at Shannon Field. Connor Manahan led the offence with 72 yards rushing on 12 carries, followed by Keaton Vernon with 22 yards on seven carries. QB Keegan Vicklund scampered for 12 yards on three carries and also made a 16-yard punt recovery. The Marauders competed hard, but had three promising drives killed by costly fumbles in the Sundevil red zone. “We just could not quite put it all together today,” said QB coach Ed Huber. On defence, Sebastion Sanchez was the star with nine tackles followed by Josh Hyer with seven tackles and a sack, Morgan Nichols with six tackles and Zack Rogers with four tackles. Dorian Weeks, Garret Black-Thomas, Ethan Ehman and Josiah Gaskell also played solid games for the defence. “The boys gained some valuable experience in this game, especially some of our new players that are still getting used to the contact in our sport,” said Marauder head coach Ron Kirschner. The Marauders host the Okanagan Mission Lions Sunday (3 p.m.) at Grahame Park. In Atom play, the Vernon Blue Bombers stopped the West Kelowna Sun Devils 20-12 The Bombers had a balanced offensive attack with Tayber McLean, Kolby Thorpe, and Jarret Cooper all scoring TDS. Ethan Mitchell added a two-point conversion. Joey Mazzei led the Bombers’ defence with six tackles and William Satterhwaite and Jordon Knopf each added three. Guy McLean’s Bombers are 2-0 and host the Kelowna Lions Sunday (9 a.m.) at Grahame Park.

night in Ladner. Both games saw the Rockets dress a team full of newcomers and prospects as well as a few veteran players. “I think it was a typical of exhibition hockey,” said Rockets director of player personnel Lorne Frey. “Our young guys have to get their feet wet and that is what this past weekend was all about. Now we have to get our veteran players in the lineup and we will have to make some decisions with a few players on what is best for us and and what is best for them.” The Rockets will play another home-and-home set this weekend as they play Victoria twice, meeting the Royals in Maple Ridge on Friday before hosting Victoria on Saturday. Frey said the week of practice will be good for the players as the team heads for the start of the WHL regular season Sept. 21.

Vipers shaping up for Showcase Morning Star Staff
The preamble is over, and now the Vernon Vipers are ready for the real deal. Well, almost ready. Head coach/GM Jason Williamson still has two tough cuts – a forward and a goalie – remaining to get down to his 22-man roster before the B.C. Hockey League’s inaugural Showcase tournament this weekend in Chilliwack. Williamson released forwards Adam Fauchoux and Joe Serpico over the weekend. He also dealt the Junior A rights of forward Brendan Persley to the Manitoba league’s Virden Oil Capitals Monday in exchange for forward Mitch Van Teeling. Persley is trying out with the WHL Tri-City Americans, and Williamson didn’t appear willing to wait and see if he made the team. Van Teeling, a 19-year-old forward from Brandon, spent the last two seasons with the MJHL Dauphin Kings, finishing second in team scoring last year with 19 goals and 47 assists for 66 points. He played alongside former Viper Dylan Walchuk on Team Canada West at the 2010 World Junior A Challenge. “He should add some pretty good depth for us,” said Williamson, who is liking the balance he sees throughout the roster. “I like the way it’s put together, and it’s going to make teams take notice. I like our speed up front. We’ve got some good energy guys, we’ve got some size, we’ve got some high-end and we’ve got some guys that are going to be feisty and create some energy in the building. “On dee, we’ve got some big rigs back there
that are going to keep the other teams honest.” Vernon’s season opener goes Saturday at Prospera Centre versus the defending Fred Page Cup champion Penticton Vees (who will play host). The Snakes will be the ‘home team’ as they face the Powell River Kings Sunday morning at Prospera. Williamson, entering his second year as head coach, has largely been impressed with the Vipers, who went 2-1-2 in preseason action. They wrapped up their exhibition schedule with a home-and-home set with the Salmon Arm SilverBacks, starting with a 2-2 draw Friday night at the Shaw Centre, and ending with a 3-1 win the following night at Wesbild Centre. “We went down early, scoring two goals on ourselves and then we battled our way back,” said Williamson, of the draw. Mitch McAllister and Aaron Hadley handled the scoring Friday night. “He’s a kid we recruited hard to come to camp and he definitely came and showed us something,” said Williamson, of McAllister, who captained Strathmore’s UFA Bisons of the Alberta Midget league last season. Hadley, a third-year forward, made it two goals in as many nights in Saturday’s win. Fellow veteran Colton Sparrow and rookie Craig Martin completed the attack. “We showed some good jump and had some good energy from some guys that were getting worn down,” said Williamson. “We had spurts of when we hemmed them in pretty good.”

Penticton prowling title Continued from A27 Steve Cox, Glen Heagle and Neil MacNeil replied in a flurry of offence for the Lakers (12-62), who got strong games from defenders Duane Mueller and Brett Bandy. Defender Gerard Geelkerken, rested after missing two weeks due to work, ran a marathon and set up a few dangerous chances to earn the Café Belgique Man of the Match for Bosman (4-16). Penticton United wouldn’t allow North Country to play spoiler in its bid for league champions with a 3-1 win at Dale Meadows Park in Summerland. Penticton (19-1) struck first in the 15th minute when Darren Schimpf potted a rebound off the North Country keeper John Dorward. Later in the first half, after North Country changed keepers on the arrival of their wayward starter, Dave Rundall, Rob Jackson scored a brilliant goal when he streaked down the right side and placed a perfect shot over the keeper who found himself slightly off his line. In the second half, Rob Gunning made it 3-0 after he took the ball through the North Country defence and around the sprawling keeper for a tap in. North Country fought back in the second half and was rewarded after Penticton’s starting keeper, Mike Killick, left the game at the 75th minute, with an injury. North Country made the most of the change as Greg Bevandick snuck one by Brian Dean. North Country dipped to 10-6-4.
KEVIN MITCHELL/MORNING STAR
Bosman Accounting's Tom Ouchi wheels upfield, pursued by Lake Country FC's Duane Mueller in Capri Insurance Men's 45+ Soccer League action Monday night at Marshall Field #2. The Rented Mules resumed their recent charge into the topeight of the table and an anticipated early playoff exit with a 3-1 win over Brandt’s Creek at Parkinson #14 Field. The Mules dominated the first half but it was 1-1 at the break, with Al Ryder scoring for the Mules. Brandt’s Creek tied it up with a clever quick free kick taken while keeper Mike Hrzic tried to persuade a group of obstinate and largely disinterested Mules to stand in a defensive wall. The story of the second half for the 9-9-2 Mules was Izak Michaeli, who, having been knocked almost senseless with a ball to the chin earlier in the game, forgot that he is supposed to be an average player who merely works hard, and set up one goal and scored another.
The winner was scored by Clarke Burnett who, having received Michaeli’s excellent pass at the top of the box, paused and asked himself the important question, “What would Fred Vandergaag do?” Burnett then closed his eyes tight and toe punted it really hard into the bottom corner past a keeper who was completely justified in looking totally stunned. The third goal was scored by Michaeli, who was none the wiser from the earlier incident, and still thinking he was Robin Van Persie, headed an Andy Barker cross inside the near post. The Rutland Spirit got two goals from Micha Yakonowsky in a 5-1 win over Cantinas at Mission 71 Park. Singles came from Richard Chapman, Carlos Gutierrez and John Phillips.
Vernon duo tops Summerland sprint Morning Star Staff
A pair of Vernon athletes topped the men’s and women’s podium at the Summerland Sprint Triathlon Sunday morning. Racing in ideal conditions, Nathan Champness finished first overall, completing the 750-metre swim, 20-km bike and 5-km run in one hour and one minute. Erica Moser-Reschreiter ruled the women’s division with a 1:11:10. It was her third sprint win of the season. The event featured more than 350 participants
between the ages of six and 69, with one participant in the 70+ division. Sam Lazar of Armstong finished fourth with a time of 1:05:27, while Vernon’s Baumeister brothers, Peter (1:09:43) and Matt (1:10:25), stuck close together to finish 17th and 18th respectively. Just one week after competing in Ironman Canada, Vernon’s Laura Medcalf raced to third place in the women’s 30-39 age group with a 1:18:30. Sue Abbott finished second in the women’s 60-69 in 1:33:09.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder TRICKS WON WENT FROM NINE TO 12 Lewis Mumford, who was known for his study of cities and urban architecture, said, “A day spent without the sight or sound of beauty, the contemplation of mystery, or the search of truth or perfection is a povertystricken day.” This deal from a duplicate presents a mysterious puzzle. All six tables played in four spades by South. Three declarers won nine tricks, one made 10, and two took 12. How come? This auction looks normal, but East might have rebid three clubs. What should West lead against four spades? The two declarers who
won 12 tricks received a club lead, with East incorrectly putting up the queen. The six-lead must be a singleton, given North’s opening and East’s having bid diamonds. East should play low. Then South can be held to 10 tricks. The other Wests led the diamond jack, East taking two tricks in the suit. Two defenders now played the ace and another heart, South claiming. One East shifted to a low club. Declarer won with his 10, drew trumps, and led the club king, getting the bad news. Now he erred, playing a heart to dummy’s queen. East won and returned a heart to defeat the contract. For his bidding, East had to have the heart ace. South
should have overtaken the club king with dummy’s ace and called for the heart nine. When East played low, declarer would have had to guess who held the jack. But at least he would have had a chance to get it right. Don’t play third hand high when it cannot help your side.

Cliff will be lovingly remembered by his sons; Jason (Cori-Lee) Eckert and Marty (Sherri) Eckert, his granddaughters; Taylor and Charlee Eckert, his sisters; Sherry (Danny) Rota and Judy (Ben) Assmus, his brother-in-laws; Wes Lindsay and Bill Metz along with numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends.

John David (Dave) Redgwell was born on March 29th, 1926 in Drumheller, Alberta and passed away on August 26th, 2012 in Heron Grove at the age of 86 years. He has now been reunited with his beloved wife Joyce who passed away on March 9th of this year. Dave will be lovingly remembered by his ¿ve children, Brian (Lee) of Calgary, Alberta, Don (Trish) of Vernon, B.C., Gordon (Allie) of Sherwood Park, Alberta, Sharon and Lyle, both of Vernon, B.C.; nine grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; two brothers, Robert (Shirley) of Victoria, B.C. and Wilson (Cheryl) of Olds, Alberta; one sister, Mary Leach of Olds, Alberta; his sister-in-law, Myrna Riches of Vernon, B.C.; numerous nieces, nephews, extended family, dear friends; and his canine companion, Tammie. Dave was a member of the Elks and the Masonic Order and believed in service to his community. He had a very outgoing personality, made friends easily and once a friend – you were a friend for life. Both he and Joyce were given to hospitality and their home was always open to whoever came to their door and no one was ever refused entry. Dave’s number one recreational love was camping and ¿shing and he loved to spend as much time as possible in the great outdoors. He enjoyed woodworking, painting and Ày-tying. Dave sang in various choirs together with Joyce in every community they were fortunate to live. Cremation preceded a Celebration Of Dave’s Life which will be held at Knox Presbyterian Church on Monday, September 10th, 2012 at 3:30 P.M. with Reverend Dr. Ed Millin and Reverend Dr. Teresa Charlton of¿ciating. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Dave to the B.C. Heart & Stroke Foundation, #4-1551 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, B.C.

Revitalization of an intellectual hot spot is complete at UBC’s Okanagan campus. The $1.4-million renovation to UBC’s Okanagan library is now finished and staff is eager to show off the revitalized space to both the campus community and Okanagan residents. With more seating, additional group study rooms and added quiet reading space, the library is a nexus of rich content, state-of-the-art technology and inspiring space. “The library is the launch pad – the starting place for students to explore and research,” said Melody Burton, chief librarian. “It is the place where people begin their research, their exploration, and quench their thirst for knowledge. It is where they fall in love with research, and understand the value and link between research and knowledge.” The UBC library at the Okanagan campus is part of a larger network of 21 branches and divisions, including on- and off-campus locations. Users of UBC’s library have access to: ■ More than 6.3-million volumes ■ More than 875,000 e-books ■ More than 165,000 serial titles ■ Nearly 5.7-million digital collections ■ More than 5.3-million microforms ■ More than 883,000 maps, audio, video and graphic materials. “The library changes throughout the year, like the academic calendar, with peaks and lows,” said Burton. “It’s an intellectual hot spot. The library is an active study space, representative of differing energies depending on the academic season.”

I’ve noticed that FortisBC is offering a $50 gift card if I have my furnace and fireplace serviced. Why is this so important?
That’s a great question. I believe FortisBC is recognizing the value of having gas fired equipment checked for safety and operational efficiency, and are working with licensed contractors to promote this program. As far as safety goes, our service technicians test carbon monoxide levels in the home when they do a furnace service, and usually have to shut down 2 or 3 older furnaces a year due to carbon monoxide safety issues. As far as operational efficiency goes, it’s always a good idea to have a trained technician check over your equipment at a minimum every other year. Just like when we bring our cars in for servicing, modern high efficient equipment often requires a trained technician to verify that your equipment is operating at the proper efficiency, and will often spot minor problems before they become major costly ones.

Q: A:
Unfortunately you cannot test drive a kitchen or try it on and walk around prior to purchasing so finding the difference in quality to the first time inexperienced buyer is not that easy and it does takes a keen eye to note the differences. First thing I would suggest is to knock on the back centre of the cabinet to determine if it is a solid 5/8 back or just the flimsy 1/8 hardboard. This is key to cabinet construction, strength and trueness to remaining square. Make sure the interior is good quality 5/8 melamine and not white vinyl typical to the low end knock down cabinets. Finished side panels and moldings should be same finish as the doors and not melamine or vinyl wrapped. Door and drawer hardware should be of European origin and not off shore knock offs. Last but not least take a door and angle it towards a bright light to see the quality of the finish. There should be no traces of dust, contaminants or imperfections in the finish whatsoever. There are many more items to test quality that space here unfortunately does not allow for.

Q: A:
I want to update a few rooms in my home with new furniture, appliances, and mattresses. Are there payment plans available?
There are many payment plans that you can take advantage of. You can finance from 3 months all the way up to 2 years, with equal payment plans, or do not pay plans. The process is actually quite simple and only requires you to fill out an application form which is processed in as quickly as 5 minutes! Once approved, you can choose the appropriate finance plan that best suits your needs. Make sure to ask about the details of the finance plan you decide to go with. Furniture, appliances, mattresses and electronics can all be financed. So the timing has never been better to buy the furniture you’ve always wanted, or those new appliances that you’ve been dreaming of, or a new mattress to guarantee a good night sleep!

Marketing is an ever evolving industry and there are always new methods and opportunities arising. One of the latest marketing tools we’ve been using is an Active QR Code. Now QR Codes themselves have been around for a while (they are the square barcodes that look like the one at the bottom of this column). Original QR codes usually only go to one place (like a website link or a phone number). The difference with Active QR Codes is that when scanned, they link you to a live mobile website that you can change at any time. Not only do Active QR Codes provide the opportunity to have timely information, it is also set up to include a variety of contact mediums (website, email, phone number, address, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, etc). You can even include digital coupons for promotions you are running. For our clients it has been a successful, engaging tool that bridges print and online media.

Q:
I feel so guilty a lot of the time. How can I get rid of my guilt?
A:
We all make mistakes that can make us feel guilty; it’s part of being human. Healthy guilt motivates us to make amends or change behaviours if we have done something wrong, and to take responsibility. But ongoing guilt, which can stem from perfectionism, cultural or religious messages, or family conditioning, can weigh us down, and make us feel responsible when we`re not. Codependents often feel guilty ... for what they’ve done, what they haven’t done, what they’ve said, or haven’t said. They live by should’s and ought’s and are driven to be more, have more, say more and do more. If guilt has a big impact on your life, a counsellor or support group can help you to identify the sources of your guilt, and what`s really happening behind your feelings of guilt. As a professional counsellor and a woman in recovery, I offer hope to others who are struggling.

Q: A:
Why do I get headaches and what can I do for them?
Headaches are very common complaints and can have multiple causes. Seasonal allergies, neck and back injuries, fluctuating or imbalanced hormones, are just a few of the conditions that might increase our chances of having a headache. In addition to treating the root cause, I also like to recommend: Acupuncture – Helps to reduce pain, decrease muscle tension and balance “qi” (life force) Drink water and eliminate diuretic drinks – Ensure you are hydrated. Dehydration can contribute to, or trigger a headache, and drinks like coffee, pop and alcohol will dehydrate you. Address food sensitivities – Chronic headaches can be related to food intolerances. Improve your diet and do a cleanse – Headaches are a common indication of a sluggish liver and lymphatic system Reduce stress levels – When our stress levels are high our bodies have more tension, which can contribute to headaches. Remember to breathe, incorporate daily physical exercise, and aim to take care of yourself!

Q: A:
I have been working out hard many hours a week, including cardio, but I still have a belly and my weight isn’t budging. Why is that?
We’re often under the impression that hard workouts means that we are basically free to eat whatever we want. But that isn’t the case. The fact is that 80% of our weight loss success is based on our eating habits, which means opting for an actual new lifestyle approach. Start by eating with a focus on nutrient-rich food, eliminating sugars and processed foods. Then ease up on how you work out. Splurge and get a Personal Trainer for a bit - they’ll be able to provide some pointers on how to make your workouts more successful. Finally, remember to have fun and believe in your success!
