Amber alert ends in Delta KEVIN DIAKIW Black Press
An amber alert was called off after Delta police, and a combined emergency response team, secured the safety of a 15-year-old Vernon girl. The amber alert – a widely broadcast system in cases of abductions – was initiated in Vernon at 11 p.m. Sunday night, when the girl went missing from her grandmother’s home. “On Sunday, just after 1 p.m., police received a report that the girl’s father showed up at the girl’s grandmother’s residence in the 3700 block of 27th Avenue,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson — Molendyk Gord Molendyk. “The grandmother was allegedly assaulted in an exchange between the two. The girl was reported only wearing a house coat at the time she left.” Vernon RCMP learned that the father and the girl showed up at an address on Westside Road and both left in an older grey mini-van. “Due to the age of the girl and the fact she did not live with the father and other circumstances learned in this investigation, police felt she may be in imminent danger,” said Molendyk. “An amber alert was requested and then issued.” Delta police were notified at about 2:15 a.m. that the girl may have been taken by her father, and that he may be at a family member’s residence near 116 Street and 94 Avenue in Delta. Delta police identified the wanted vehicle in front of the home, and knowing the suspect may be armed and dangerous, police called in the Municipal Integrated Emergency Response Team. “We made a call into the residence shortly after 7 (a.m.) and he picked up the phone,” said Delta Const. Ciaran Feenan. “He came out without any incident at all.” Shortly after, police were able to locate the girl who was safe and unharmed. The suspect was taken into custody, where he remains. No charges had been laid as of Tuesday morning. It’s believed the girl left Vernon with her father willingly. With files from The Morning Star.
“Police felt she may be in imminent danger.”

Ironman bid draws debate RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Bureaucratic hurdles are part of preIronman training. Vernon council instructed staff Monday afternoon to prepare a bid package to host Ironman Canada. But a decision on submitting the proposal to Ironman’s parent company won’t be made until Sept. 21. “There are still some gaps we need to fill in,” said Coun. Brian Quiring. Among the issues staff has been asked to look at are finding a major sponsor, bringing regional jurisdictions on board, developing a budget and how to recruit upwards of 4,000 volunteers. “There’s a short period of time (submission deadline is Sept. 24) and a comprehensive bid needs to be put together,” said Quiring. But support for seeking the international event certainly exists.
“I’d like us to proceed on a request for proposals even if we can’t find a local sponsor in 10 days,” said Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe. The potential economic impact to the host community is $10 to $15 million a year, with many of the benefits coming in the hospitality sector. However, the host community is responsible for a number of items including public works, policing, road services, lifeguards, medical services, waste management and security. A staff report says the minimum budget obligation is about $400,000 a year. Coun. Bob Spiers questions some of the information provided by Ironman’s parent company. “We don’t have 200 police officers within 1,000 miles of this place. Even if we did have 200 officers, that is $130,000 minimum,” he said. There are also questions as to why
Penticton severed its ties with Ironman after 30 years. “There had to have been some significant issues for them to go away from Ironman,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. Ironman in Vernon could also be held at the same time as a new event in Penticton, which could impact the availability of athletes and volunteers. As part of discussions Monday, council heard from local running enthusiasts. “We have everything it takes to put this on,” said Melissa Spooner, an Ironman champion. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Vernon needs this, Vernon wants this.” Support for the bid also came from Ingrid Dilschneider, director of sales and marketing at Predator Ridge Resort. “It will have a positive economic impact on Vernon. Vernon needs a win and we believe this is a win,” she said.

News Quick response for Falkland blaze It was nothing compared to the catastrophic 2003 fire, but a blaze near Falkland still crept uncomfortably close to some homes Sunday evening. Thanks to the quick actions of nearby residents and fire crews, a 15-hectare blaze just east of Whispering Pines Road was under control by Monday morning. “It’s been very co-operative with the public and everybody came at it really hard,� said Steve Olson, Vernon Fire Zone, protection assistant. The wind-driven fire was sparked in a farmer’s field just before 6 p.m. Sunday. “Our neighbours were just coming back and thought the restaurant was on fire,� said Tim Zieske, who owns the Whispering Pines Cafe. “I got a shovel and helped George, our next door neighbour. He was at it pretty hard with his tractor already.� Having witnessed the 2003 wildfire, the initial thought of fire sparked fear into some Falkland residents. But the immediate presence of air tankers and firefighters eased concerns. “That (2003 fire) was a lot scarier,� said Zieske.
While reports of a tree falling over a power line are believed to be the cause of Sunday’s blaze, crews cannot confirm. “It’s still under investigation, we haven’t confirmed (the cause),� said Olson. The wildfire is now 100 per cent contained. Twelve firefighters remain on site continuing with extinguishing hot spots within the fire’s perimeter. The fire, sitting next to Highway 97, also closed the highway Sunday evening for several hours, then reduced to single lane with a pilot car. Both lanes were opened by late morning Monday. For more photos and video footage of the fire visit www.vernonmorningstar.com. Wildfire crews have also extinguished the 40-hectare blaze near Mabel Lake in Lumby. The Cottonwood Creek fire is 100 per cent contained. “This fire is now in the patrol status and will be monitored into the fall,� said Michaela Swan, Kamloops Fire Centre fire information officer. “Due to the heavy forest fuels in the fire area, there are still portions of this wildfire still smouldering. Smoke may still be visible until additional rain or snow is received.�

Core services coming under review RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
An in-depth scrutiny of Vernon city hall is getting underway. Council has awarded an $80,000 contract to KPMG to perform a core services review of internal operations. “We had three applicants and KPMG presented the best plan,� said Coun. Catherine Lord, who supports the process. “There’s always some efficiencies you can attain. It’s good to review the level of
staffing and what kind of services we are providing and are we providing services we should be providing.� A similar initiative in Penticton led to widespread layoffs and Lord isn’t sure if there will be some job cuts here. “It’s something we can’t answer until the core review is done,� she said. “There may be opportunities to move staff from one area to another.� Coun. Bob Spiers is pleased to see Catherine Lord the review moving ahead after pushing for such a process in the past.

City initiates strategy for resignations
LIMITED TIME OFFER! NO TAX

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon says it’s prepared if Okanagan Landing firefighters leave their post. Staff has rolled out a contingency plan if a large number of Landing volunteers decide to resign instead of accepting a new operations structure based out of the downtown Vernon hall. “Vernon Fire Rescue is prepared to mitigate any emergencies in the city in a timely and responsible manner,” states an administration report presented to council Monday. “There will be no disruption in the municipal fire service and there will be career and paid-per-call (volunteer) Cunningham firefighters responding from both station one downtown and station two in Okanagan Landing. Further resources can be moved up and staged in alternate locations as needed.” Some Landing volunteers have stated they will quit and not accept the new organizational structure, which will see the Landing hall not operate independently as of Jan. 31. “I am confident some volunteers will come over to the new model,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham, who favoured reorganization. “I am satisfied we have a plan in place (if there are significant retirements).” Monday’s administration report outlines plans for recruitment and training of volunteers between now and September, and modified operational guidelines becoming effective Feb. 1, 2013. The goal is to have the new model fully in place by April 1, 2013. Coun. Patrick Nicol is disappointed city administration has not met with the volunteers since council decided not to renew a service contract with the Okanagan Landing Firefighters Association. “I would hope the volunteers would be fully encouraged. The knowledge they have for that area is extensive,” said Nicol, who wanted the service contract renewed with the Landing group.

east sector) that the north sub-area is about 508 hectares and comprises 20 parcels including two gravel pits, a few rural residential homes on large properties and three manufactured home parks that, combined, have 74 pads. “The purely conceptual plan,”said Skobalski, would see approximately 2,500 dwelling units built over time and, at an estimated 2.5 people per household, would house 6,000 people. Skobalski said planners did have a couple of issues with the plan that must be addressed by the developer. “Our main concerns are the water supply uncertainty, the sewage treatment and disposal location, the area of the site and service area, aquifer vulnerability and how that can be addressed, and identifying usable public park space,” she said. York said a lot of work has been done over a long period of time, and stressed the township has not made any commitment at this point that would put Spallumcheen in a position to accept something it doesn’t want. “We’re still the decision makers for our community,” he said. “With the planning department’s recom-
mendations, we can delve much deeper into the servicing and, hopefully, the developers can come up with a solution.” Coun. Andrew Casson called the proposal “exciting.” “Spallumcheen is very blessed to have two major cornerstones already; we’re a farming community and we have our rural lifestyle,” said Casson. “This plan adds special diversification that will have minimal negative impact and hopefully lots of positive impact. “It could be a third diversified cornerstone to what we already have.” Council unanimously agreed to the planning department’s recommendation that the plan be given consideration, and begin preparing an OCP amendment bylaw to change the future land use designation. However, there are five directives for the bylaw which must be considered and that includes making sure the existing manufactured home parks remain as such in the plan. The proposed bylaw has yet to have first reading. If given two readings, a public hearing on the proposed plan would be scheduled.
Alert issued to parents ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP are encouraging parents to talk to their kids about the potential dangers of talking to strangers following an incident near the Foothills Saturday. An 11-year-old boy was out with friends on Blackcomb Way, off Silver Star Road, in the early afternoon Saturday when he was approached by two people in a van. “The police were able to speak to the boy this (Monday) morning, and learned that he was at a park and was walking home with several friends when a man and woman, believed to be in their 40s, attempted to lure him into their van by saying they
had some candy,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “The victim did not cooperate and left.” Molendyk said the boy believes it was a Toyota minivan, white in colour. No licence plate was obtained from the vehicle. “The RCMP encourages parents whose children are approached by stranger to report it to police immediately,” said Molendyk. “The police would like to remind all parents to speak to their children about safety of being approached by strangers, and how to react. Do not go to the vehicle run home or a safe location. Do not travel alone. All of the safety precautions should be taken.”

Hunting rules come under fire Morning Star Staff
“We’re going to make a lot of citizens into criminals.” — Mary-Jo O’Keefe to have those devices. “We’re going to make a lot of honest citizens into criminals by over-regulating things,” she said. Clint Kanester, bylaw enforcement manager, says the proposal would allow for sprays to be used in rural areas to protect people from wildlife but the police want the substances banned in urban settings.
“They are used by people in the drug trade to protect themselves,” he said. “It has the potential to be used more as a weapon than for defence.” Lord supports the proposed rules and believes residents will still have access to the sprays. “If I had to use it, I’d be willing to pay the fine,” she said.

Civil disobedience has forced the City of Vernon’s hand. The city will try and slow motorists down after residents posted home-made speed signs and painted an illegal crosswalk in the 8800 block of Okanagan Landing Road. “The way the law looks at it, it is graffiti and needs to be removed,” said Rob Dickinson, engineering manager. However, because the city is now aware of the illegal signs and road markings, the city could be held liable if an incident occurred. That is why the pilot project for traffic calming
“They drew attention to an issue,” said McDougall. Before traffic-calming devices are installed, the city will canvass residents in the 8700 and 8800 blocks of Okanagan Landing Road to ensure there is support. Any changes will likely involve wide curbs and a raised area for pedestrians to walk. It’s believed much of the problem is related to local residents speeding and not traffic related to tourist destinations like Ellison park. “It’s people who are used to the road and they are going way over the speed limit. It’s very aggressive driving,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham.

A Vernon politician has taken aim at proposed restrictions on hunting and trapping. Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe challenged Coun. Catherine Lord’s call Monday for a ban on trapping and tighter rules for bow hunters and people carrying bear spray. “We’re responding to something that is rare. I find it a reaction and over-kill,” said O’Keefe. O’Keefe was particularly upset that city rules may make it illegal to carry bear spray, or other irritant gases, in specific locations although she says there may be a need for people
response from O’Keefe, who referred to federal legislation. “If you are using it inappropriately, it’s already against the law,” she said. “I resent this piling of laws on laws when it’s already addressed in the Criminal Code.” In terms of trapping, city staff will develop a bylaw to ban body-gripping devices except when used by qualified wildlife officers. “I want citizens to be aware that they can’t just use any old trap they have laying around to control people’s pets,” said Lord, adding that her concern is safety for pets and residents. “There are proper processes to deal with these matters.”

Weighing pros and cons
P
ursuing Ironman appears to be a nobrainer. After all, who wouldn’t want to draw more than 2,700 high-performance athletes, plus their families, friends, race officials, media and triathlon enthusiasts? Beyond Canadian participants, there are registrations from the U.S., Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Europe. “Vernon would be positioned on the world stage,” tourism manager Michelle Jefferson told city council Monday. In terms of dollars and cents, the impact on the local economy can range from $8 to $10 million annually based on Penticton’s experience over the last 30 years. There are also expectations Ironman participants and fans will be so blown away by the North Okanagan’s lifestyle they Richard Rolke will relocate and set up businesses. “It supports our entire business community,” said Kim Flick, community development manager. So with everything sounding so rosy, why is Vernon council not automatically sending a big package off to Ironman’s corporate office in Tampa? Simple, you just don’t slap something together overnight. Hosting a major international sports event is extremely complex and council must ensure that it’s not over-extending its resources and creating liabilities for taxpayers. Among the expectations placed on the host community are up to 200 police officers — which Vernon doesn’t have — for traffic control and security. There is also a need for up to 100 licensed medical professionals. That may be a challenge when many locals can’t find a doctor. All necessary municipal services are the

responsibility of the host community — garbage collection, lifeguards, shuttle buses, parking staff, electricians, traffic control and public relations. The city would also have to find anywhere from 2,500 to 4,500 volunteers. The owners of Ironman contacted the city Aug. 27 about possible hosting rights. The deadline to apply is Sept. 24, meaning the city was given a lead time of 19 working days. “There’s a lack of time to do the request for proposals,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. The actual hard costs to the city aren’t determined, but a minimum of $400,000 a year over a five-year contract has been tossed around. It may not seem like much compared to a possible economic infusion of $8 million, but it’s still not chump change, particularly when the city’s main source for covering costs is taxes. On top of this, Penticton severed its relationship with Ironman after 30 years. “There had to have been some significant issues for them to go away from Ironman,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. Were Penticton’s reasons legitimate? It’s hard to know, and because of that, it is prudent for Vernon council to be hesitant about any potential long-term agreement. Also, Vernon’s Ironman could be held at the same time as a new event in Penticton. That would divide athletes, volunteers and sponsors and perhaps pit the two towns against each other. “They’re asking Vernon to compete (with Penticton) and I’m not sure that’s a wise move,” Rick Jenkner, Interior Running Association president, told council Monday. Ultimately, Ironman could provide terrific opportunities for the North Okanagan and given previous successful events, there’s no question the region is up to the task. But because Vernon’s politicians must look at the broad picture and consider all implications, as well as opportunities, they must run a marathon before making a decision.
There could be excitement brewing over a significant property proposal in Spallumcheen. There could also be significant opposition to the idea. A conceptual plan from a property owner in the township’s southeast sector, the north sub-area (between Larkin Cross Road and Head Road), was unveiled Monday. The proposal calls for an official community plan land use designation change that would drastically change the look of the property. The proposal calls for land uses for multi- and single-family dwellings, commercial uses, a possible school site, green space and environmentally sensitive areas for the 500+ hectare property. Existing manufactured homes in the three parks in the sub-area would stay the same. Figures estimate that 2,500 housing units could be built on the property over time, bringing another 6,000 people to the township. While there’s excitement on the part of some council members, there are still tons of questions that need to be asked and answered about the plan. Before the anti-development crowd starts rallying its troops, it is important to remember that this plan is conceptual only, and that the township has not committed to anything at this point. There’s been no word yet on what the project would cost, and there’s concerns from the township’s planning department over water and sewer servicing. Council did pass planning’s recommendation to consider the proposal, but there are still several factors the developer must meet before the bylaw proposing the land use change is given first reading. The public would have its say on the plan should the bylaw reach second reading and a public hearing is called. It’s a development that will forever change the look of the township, and must be given due consideration.

Decision won't save money
I
am appalled at Vernon council's decision to not renew the contract with the Okanagan Landing Volunteer Fire Department. Although the decision itself is a bad decision, I take particular exception to the way it was made behind closed doors with no public warning that the issue was being considered. Why would council make such a decision in secret? Obviously, so residents of the Landing have no opportunity to rise up and object before the final decision is made as we did when this issue last reared its ugly head. How anti-democratic and contemptuous of the public served by the OLVFD. Shame on Vernon city council. Regarding the decision itself, some members on council seem to think this decision will save the city money. All I can say is that whoever believes that doesn't really get what is happening regarding fire services in Vernon. Killing off the OLVFD is a necessary step in the process that will lead eventually to staffing the Landing fire hall with paid firefighters. The two firefighters per shift, times the
WHAT FOR? An open letter to the person, or persons, who came on to our property and stole the batteries, battery case and charger for my 15-yr-old son's Ebike recently. My son bought that Ebike with his own money and was using it to ride to and from his summer job at the army camp. Recently, we realized the batteries that came with the bike were weak and needed to be replaced. It cost over $300 to put four new batteries in there and he hadn’t even finished paying for them when you came into our carport and selfishly took them for yourself. He had to be at his job at 6 a.m. every morning, so guess who had to get up and drive him there? My question is this – Why do you even ride an Ebike? Do you feel good because you are not emitting CO2 while rid-
five shifts required to cover 24/7, plus a captain, will cost more than $1 million per year when it happens and it will happen. It won't happen this year or next, maybe not even in three years, but it will happen. Politicians come and politicians go but the bureaucracy just keeps pushing the agenda forward. It will happen and when it does, the theoretical $60,000 savings will look
ing around town? You obviously robbed him because you are too cheap to buy new batteries yourself. So what you lack in human sympathy, you make up for in environmental compassion? Now, my son has an Ebike that is completely useless and is paying for something that he no longer owns. I hope that makes you feel good as you save our planet. Darren Strutt SMART METERS On Aug. 15, the meeting room at the Schubert Centre was filled to overflow capacity with a crowd of concerned Vernon and district citizens, to see and hear two professional presenters explain reasons why the installation of smart meters on every residence and business in B.C. is the most insane and dangerous activity any gov-
pretty pathetic. I also note that this decision was made by council without even knowing what chief Green's contingency plan for dealing with mass resignations of Okanagan Landing firefighters is or what it will cost. That seems like a pretty major oversight. Again, council's decision seems to have been made based on incomplete
ernment has undertaken in the history of mankind. It was stated that this ill-devised technology ultimately, if allowed to be completed as planned, will not only negatively impact the safety and health of all living things, but threatens the security of every home, business, military installation and electrical power function upon which a nation relies for its security and well-being. Premier McGuinty of Ontario declared, on the CBC last December, that since they have failed to deliver the efficiency and cost-effectiveness that was promised, it was a mistake for Ontario to allow smart meters. Also noted was the fact that many jurisdictions in North America have arrived at these same conclusions and delayed, banned, removed or allowed for choice. Several countries around the world have halted wireless instal-
information. Perhaps if the matter had been public prior to the decision, some councillors may have spoken with some members of the OLVFD. They would have heard many stories that seem to indicate the Vernon Fire Department pushing this agenda several years ago. They would have heard numerous stories of Vernon dispatch delaying call-outs to the Landing firefighters or ordering them to stand down when they are almost at a fire. I gather that council has been told that there needs to be integrated management of fire services and a closer working relationship between the Vernon and Okanagan Landing halls. Well, from what I've heard, it seems to me that the problem is not with the OLVFD. In my opinion, city council has made a bad decision based on an incomplete understanding of the issue and even then, the vote was a 4-3 split. I sincerely hope council has the sense and the goodwill to step back and reconsider this matter before it is too late. Ed Devlin
lations because they have come to realize that the threats and fears are real. Italy has hard-wired its smart meters with fibre optics, a totally safe and economic path to take. France is removing all Wi-Fi from its schools at a cost of $75 million Euros. The state of Idaho, one of B.C.’s neighbours, has made the decision to go with fibre optics because it is safer, more cost effective and works better in a mountainous environment. Our government and its utilities ignore all of this evidence. The question was raised as to whether we in B.C., and even all of us in Canada, still live in a democracy or do we struggle with a repressive oligarchy. You, dear reader decide, but just remember, we are the people and the people shall prevail. Edgar Murdoch

Log spill closes highway ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Highway 6 was closed two kilometres east of Lumby Monday for a number of hours after an accident involving two logging trucks. At around 8:30 a.m., a westbound Peterbilt was rounding a curve when the driver said he felt his load of logs start to shift. The truck ended up on its side in the middle of the highway and the loaded logs spilled off onto the road.

As this was happening, an empty eastbound Kenworth logging truck tried to avoid the logs with the driver heading towards the ditch. The logs, however, did hit the Kenworth. The driver of the Peterbilt, a 44-year-old man from Enderby, suffered a sore shoulder in the incident, while the Kenworth driver, a 35-year-old Lumby man, suffered a bump on the head. Neither driver went to hospital. A violation ticket for speed relative to conditions was issued to the Peterbilt driver.

The investigation led police to a suspect, who fled from police while they were trying to conduct a traffic stop on his vehicle. A 25-year-old man was later arrested, and released from custody on a promise to appear in court in October. “Generally speaking, when you have hit-andrun with a person or an occupied vehicle, and don’t render assistance, charges go Criminal Code, but not always,” said Molendyk, who added there are indications the pedestrian and people in the vehicle knew each other.

Early snowfall arrives at Star Morning Star Staff
Mother Nature was tempting ski enthusiasts Monday. About seven centimetres of snow fell at Silver Star Mountain Resort, the first snow of the season. “Mother Nature is telling us that we are in for a fantastic snow season,” said Brad Baker, operations manager. Silver Star anticipates opening for alpine skiing Nov. 29. Nordic skiing is scheduled to open in early-November. “This significant snowfall just adds to the excitement the Silver Star team has for the winter ahead.” New this season, the resort is offering Canada’s first all-inclusive season pass and day ticket. “My One Pass provides each and every one of our guests the opportunity to enjoy all the Silver Star has to offer,” said Michael Sherwood, general manager.

Okanagan College. More than 150 trees, bushes, shrubs, herbs, vines, flowers and some root crops will be planted with the help of students from Vernon Secondary School’s environmental leadership class, community volunteers and Okanagan College students and staff. “This garden will be a long-term low maintenance food solution,” said Gordon Hiebert,
a Continuing Studies instructor at OC. “Once the food forest is established the plants can be used for food, fuel, fibre (mulch), fodder, fertilizer and farmeceuticals. Also, because the plants are perennial and mostly native they will require less water than annual vegetables.” The project is supported by the Food Action Society of the North Okanagan through a grant from

The food forest marks the first planting project for the garden, which up until now has focused on implementing the required infrastructure and water conservation features. The food forest is one component of the permaculture landscapes that will be featured at the garden. The garden will eventually be comprised of a number of agricultural projects, including vegetable crops and a greenhouse. It will also demonstrate passive water conservation practices such as contour swales and curb cuts. In addition, the site will host Patchwork Community Farms – a collective community garden designed to provide inclusive recreation and educational programming for community members. Food grown at the farm will be distributed to community groups serving those who may lack access to fresh produce. For more information, go to www.kalamalkagarden.ca

ICBC workers ready to strike Morning Star Staff
ICBC workers are walking off the job. Staff at 55 claims-related Insurance Corporation of B.C. locations, including Vernon, will strike Tuesday. “These are employees who have been without a contract for over two years,” said David Black, Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union local president.
“Their wages are falling behind while ICBC executives and business partners got massive salary increases and $1.2 billion of ICBC profits went into government revenues.” Black said the one-day strike is part of a strategy aimed at getting ICBC back to the table. “ICBC’s last offer was a two per cent wage increase over a four year contract, far below the rising cost of living.”
Towels needed Morning Star Staff
The SPCA in Vernon is in urgent need of towels. “We always need towels, but we are in special need of them right now,” said Corinne Ross, branch manager. The branch is temporarily closed to the public because of an outbreak of ringworm. “If anyone has towels to spare, the Vernon SPCA would be extremely grateful for your help. We would also greatly appreciate paper towels and bleach,” said Ross. While towels are greatly desired, Ross says the shelter currently has enough blankets and sheets. If you can help, please drop off supplies for the Vernon SPCA at 4800 Haney Rd. (at the gate or outside deck area) or call 250-549-7297.

Vernon, get ready to yarn bomb away Gallery workshops lead to yarn bombing event in celebration of Culture Days Sept. 29 KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Anyone who visited the Caetani Cultural Centre recently would have seen the colourful knitted “cozies” on the trunk and branches of a tree that sits in front of the property on Pleasant Valley Road. Resembling the famed Truffula trees that were turned into knitted Thneeds from Dr. Seuss’ tale The Lorax, the tree cozies, knitted by Caetani resident artist Sandra de Vries, are an artistic means of expression gaining steam the past decade. Known as yarn bombing, or guerilla knitting, art created with yarn has become a recognized form of public art –– often temporary and always colourful. Vernon will be getting in on the action when the Vernon Public Art Gallery (VPAG) and Gallery Vertigo co-host a public art barrage of knitted proportions. The yarn bombing event on Sept. 29, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., comes in celebration of Culture Days, a nation-wide volunteer movement to raise awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement in arts and cultural community activities, said Kelly MacIntosh, with the VPAG. “Everyone is invited to attend this free event and help install the soft, fuzzy installation art in downtown Vernon,” she said. In preparation for the bombing, both avid knitters and those new to purl stitching and the like can attend workshops being offered by

On Saturday, Gallery Vertigo Knitting Circle member Kelli Rose offers a workshop at Vertigo (#1-3001 31st. St., downtown) from 10 a.m. to noon. “The workshop is suitable for knitters of all experience levels and no registration is necessary,” said Rose. The fee is $5 or free to those who have already have paid a $5 drop-in fee at Vertigo’s Knitting Circle. Also on Saturday, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the VPAG, is a guerrilla-style knitting workshop by
guest artist Eleanor Bassett. “Never-knitters and crochet-pros are all invited to attend the workshop to learn how to make a piece intended for yarn bombing, otherwise known as graffiti knitting,” said MacIntosh. “Learn what yarn bombing is all about, tricks and tools of the trade, then how to attach your work of art as an installation. Make a simple square or a 3D shape; there is something to learn for all levels of experience.” Bassett grew up in Vernon, and has been knitting for a handful of years. She has a mas-

She became hooked on knitting after learning to knit stuffed vegetables and squid. In her spare time, Bassett loves traveling, reading about farming, and teaching people how to knit. She recently returned to Vernon from Kamloops, where she worked in the grasslands and went to university. The fee for this workshop is $10 for VPAG members, $12 for non-members, and $5 for Gallery Vertigo Knitting Circle members. Pre-registration is required for this workshop.

The popularity of last year’s successful film appreciation class has prompted the Vernon Community Arts Centre to repeat the 10-part series. Led by North Okanagan filmmaker Jim Elderton, sequences from around 10 classic movies will be screened each evening, concentrating on a particular type of film. Approximately 90 films will be highlighted over the first nine evenings, ranging in genres from action and adventure, mystery and suspense, drama and romance, comedy and animation. The final session will be devoted to a single film, to be chosen by the group during the first eight weeks, said Elderton, adding moviemaking techniques will be highlighted at every session. “Initially people might have their movie-going experiences messed up by an expanded awareness of what makes films successful, but eventually they’ll get past all that and appreciate movies all

Mic is open at coffee house Cowboy crooners kick off new season in Coldstream Morning Star Staff
Live music is about to start percolating once again when the Coldstream Coffee House returns for a new season. The family-friendly, acoustic-style event takes place at the Coldstream Women’s Institute Hall the third Saturday of every month. It opens this Saturday with Rob Dinwoodie and Dixon Zalit as the feature artists. “An open mic makes up the first two-thirds of the evening with the feature making up the balance with a 45-minute set to wind up the night,” said Rory White, one of the coffee house organizers. A singer/songwriter that is no stranger to stages in B.C., Dinwoodie is known for his ability to capture a historical event or character of the
west in a song. For the last six years, he has produced the Cowboy Dinner Show at O’Keefe Ranch, which promotes the B.C. West and its history. Complementing Dinwoodie on stage is multi-instrumentalist Zalit, also a songwriter and western entertainer. Playing mandolin, ukulele, Spanish guitar, and electric guitar, Zalit awes audiences with his ability to capture the essence of the various songs as well as reciting cowboy poetry in between the tunes. “Our music ranges –– pardon the pun –– from traditional western to bluesy rock and a little bit of what we call cowboy jazz,” said Dinwoodie. Admission for Saturday’s coffee house is $5 at the door, which opens at 6:30 p.m., with the show starting at 7 p.m. Those interested in participating in the open mic can sign up at the door. A concession is also offered by donation. The Coldstream Women’s Institute Hall is located at 9909 Kalamalka Lake Rd.

was five years old and is truly passionate about the music and keeping such a vibrant part of Canadian culture alive. Apart from being the lead singer and guitarist with modern Celtic band Cod Gone Wild, Mercer says he is always seeking new ways of spreading the Celtic spirit through song. “The choir will focus on fun, unique vocal arrangements and modernizing Celtic material to bring it into 2012,” he said. “The main genre, of course, will be Celtic, however, there will be undertones of many genres to create an edgy modern Celtic vibe.” The choir will also have the opportunity to perform with Cod Gone

Newfoundland native and Celtic musician Andrew Mercer is leading the Okanagan Women’s Celtic Choir in Vernon once again this year. The choir is back for its second year after a great first year, which saw the singers perform in front of a nearly soldout crowd at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, said Mercer. “This is a fun choir and everyone involved last year really enjoyed it,” he said. “There is no requirement to read music or to have sung in a choir before... You just have to want to have fun and enjoy singing.” Mercer has been playing and performing Celtic music since he

Michelle McBeth at the Canadian Bodybuilding Federation National Championships, where she placed fifth in the Figure competition. “When people ask me why I do this, I say, ‘why not?’ I don’t really have an answer, but I’ve never felt better, never felt happier. I’m a better person, I just find all around I’m a better person. I just appreciate life.” And for anyone who thinks they can’t find the time to exercise, to eat better, to fulfill their dreams because work, kids and other commitments leave little free time, McBeth said there is always a way. “Never let anyone tell you that you can’t accomplish your dream or goal. My attitude is even if you don’t reach your ultimate goal, you’ve given it your best shot possible and you can say that you did everything you could, but what else comes your way while trying could be even better. “If I had listened to the negative comments I wouldn’t be where I am today. I had a coach tell me I wouldn’t ever make the provincial stage let along the national stage. I listened for a while, always in the back of my head thinking he’s wrong.” McBeth then met Leah from Breakaway Fitness, who came into her life at the right time and encouraged her. The next day, she hired Alison. Nine months later, she is a national competitor set to take on the international competition. “There are many people out there who will say you can’t, my attitude is watch me.”

STAY & PLAY
As Michelle McBeth bakes up a pan of red velvet cake and other treats in her kitchen, she explains that while her diet is usually made up of proteins and complex carbs, she allows herself an occasional indulgence. But it’s a strict diet and disciplined approach to her training that led to McBeth placing fifth in the Canadian Bodybuilding Federation National Championships for Figure, held last month in New Westminster. “By placing in the top five, I no longer have to compete in the novice or provincial level next year, but will go straight to the Canadian nationals, where I will once again compete against the best in Canada,” she said. Training intensely for the past four years, McBeth, 41, has been competing at a novice level for three years. After switching coaches, she went to the British Columbia Amateur Bodybuilding Association’s competition where she placed second in Figure, qualifying her for the nationals. “My goal is to go back even stronger and come out number one where I can be carded a professional athlete and compete in the U.S.A. against other pros,” said the Vernon mother of three sons, ages 20, 17 and eight. McBeth had always been active, but after the birth of her third child, she realized she wasn’t as diligent with her eating and exercise habits. A Biggest Loser type of competition at work is what spurred her to not only get back in shape but to take it to the next level. “When I stepped on the scale I weighed 180 pounds and I nearly died — I couldn’t believe it,” she said. Meeting with trainer Paulette Barry, then at Ladies World, McBeth credits her with “putting the fire under me and getting me to take the steps I needed.” McBeth, who works for Interior Health, has to be organized to stay in competition shape, planning her meals carefully and using strategies such as cooking several pounds of chicken at a time, so it’s always ready to go. “It’s a lifestyle for me, when I work from 7 to 3:30 and I need to do two hours of cardio, I’m up at 4 a.m. or I’ll go downstairs to my treadmill after work and watch a movie with my youngest son.” In addition to the extreme discipline required to compete at the highest level, it’s a sport that also requires some extra cash: posing bikinis can run to $1,200 and add to that the shoes, the makeup and hair, and the travel costs, and it becomes a labour of love. “This isn’t a cheap sport — I buy a new bikini for every competition.” Every three days, she is photographed in a bikini, sending the photos to her trainer, Surrey-based Dawn Alison with Team Fit Body. “The other day, as I was serving coffee to my husband and a bowl of cereal for my son, my husband pointed out that I was serving my 17-year-old son and husband breakfast while wearing a bikini and glass heels — it’s just normal for me.” McBeth’s coach has been an inspiration to her and the reason she has been able to compete at the highest level. “We do it all online and she has already refined my body so much — she even had me change my hair colour. She is so involved and if I haven’t talked to her in three days, she contacts me to see how I’m doing.” In addition to using the treadmill in her home, McBeth trains at Fitness West in Vernon. “I’m always in training, although this is called the off season right now; this is where I manipulate the muscles.” In addition to her coaching support, McBeth said she wouldn’t be able to participate in her sport without the support of her husband, children and her parents.

A tomato marathon
’ve finally got all my recipes in order to make the best of a large harvest of tomatoes. Well OK, truth is my own tomatoes are few and far to behold but I’m trusting that our local farmers will have plenty for this gal to put up for the winter. I like to see my pantry shelves full with different tomatoes and sauces. A good tomato sauce is the foundation for so many wonderful dishes — pizza, pasta, chicken and fish. The basic recipe below starts with a soffritto of onions, carrots and celery cooked in a little olive oil, to which garlic, tomatoes and seasonings are added. Simple and delicious. The sauce can be dressed up with mushrooms, sausage, olives, wine, and any vegetables of choice. I like canning a vegetarian spaghetti sauce even though it is time-consuming to do, because in the end it saves me more hours than you’d imagine and it’s so much tastier than anything you can buy. Cathi Litzenberger This year my dad is joining in the marathon sauce making — he has no idea what he’s in for (chuckle) but it should be fun. Basic Tomato Sauce from Scratch 3 Tbsp. olive oil (approx.) 1 medium onion, finely chopped 1 carrot, finely diced 1 stalk of celery 1/4 cup celery leaves, finely chopped 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp. dried basil or 4 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil 2- 1/2 pounds (about 8 cups) of fresh tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped or 2- 28 oz. can chopped tomatoes, including the juice 1 Tbsp. tomato paste Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste Heat olive oil in a large wide skillet on medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, celery and parsley. Stir to coat. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stir-
KITCHEN WIT & WISDOM
ring occasionally until the vegetables are softened and cooked through. Remove cover and add the minced garlic. Increase the heat to medium high. Cook garlic for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, including the juice. Add the tomato paste and the basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a low simmer, reduce the heat to low and cook, uncovered, until thickened, about 15-25 minutes. For a smooth sauce, blend it with an immersion blender or food processor. Makes about 5 cups of sauce. Recipe can be multiplied for canning purposes. Canned Vegetarian Spaghetti Sauce 1/2 bushel Roma tomatoes (about 25 lbs.) 3 large onions, chopped 2 medium green peppers, diced 1 red pepper, diced 1 yellow pepper, diced 4 celery stalks, chopped 1/2 cup celery leaves, finely chopped 1 cup olive oil 6-8 cloves garlic, crushed (or to taste) 1/4 cup oregano, finely chopped 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon thyme leaves, finely chopped Handful of basil leaves, chopped Coarse salt to taste (about 1/4 cup salt) 1/4 cup sugar 1 cup red wine vinegar 48 oz. can tomato paste Blanch and peel tomatoes: run through blender or food processor to crush. In a large stainless steel pot, cook onions, peppers, and celery in oil until soft; add the minced garlic. Cook another minute. Add tomatoes, oregano, thyme, basil, salt, sugar, vinegar and tomato paste. Mix to combine. Cook until very soft. Cook down until thick (usually cook for 4-6 hours). Fill jars and process in hot water bath for 50 minutes or in a pressure canner for 20 minutes at 10 lbs. To serve, simply brown hamburger or meat of choice and add a jar of sauce, heat through and enjoy over spaghetti or pasta of choice.
Celebrate the fall harvest at Davison Orchards LEAH DAVISON CAMPBELL
Special to The Morning Star
The thing about farming is, there are no instant results. And really, in the world today‚ we are used to seeing everything, well‚ now. There is fast food on every corner and instant everything, from mashed potatoes
to pudding. But when you plant a seed, it takes a lot more patience to see the final product. Fruit and vegetables are more of a slow food. First, the land rests for the winter. Spring comes and fields are prepped and the seed is sown. Then there is an incredible amount
of watering, weeding and tending that takes place all summer long. You have months of hoping the weather is right, that we have the right temperature at the right moment and that the storms are not too crazy. But when the harvest finally comes in, we celebrate.

News Talk to your kids about drugs DOUG ROGERS For The Morning Star
Welcome back to school! A very important discussion that needs to take place in your home is ‘the old drug talk’. Parents play a key role in reducing teen substance abuse. More than half of all Canadian kids will try drugs at least once between the first and 12th grade, but many will choose not to experiment. Please talk openly with your child about substance abuse and set a no-use rule for all drugs and alcohol. Here are some tips to help you steer your child in the right direction (adapted from www.samhsa. gov): 1. Recognize that this is your job. Don’t leave drug prevention to the school. Although schools have a responsibility for drug education, parents have the greatest influence on kids, and no one is better able to help them grow up drug-free. 2. Start early. Kids are growing up faster, and the dangers that once arose as kids reached their teens are creeping in at an earlier age. Children as young as 10 are being introduced to drugs. Help your children form attitudes toward drugs early. If they know drugs are bad long before they’re offered any, it will be easier for them to say no when that time comes. 3. Keep it simple. Be firm and clear about what you believe and the behaviour you expect from your kids. I see young people with severe drug problems who started out by trying alcohol or marijuana at a party, thinking, “How could it hurt me?” 4. Encourage personal responsibility. Selfreliance begins when kids take on some degree of responsibility – taking care of themselves, their toys and their clothing. Taking responsibility also firms up their sense of themselves and makes it easier for them to make independent choices about drug use. 5. Be a good role model. No matter what you tell children, behavior speaks volumes. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, and it’s likely they will, too. 6. Know how to handle your own substance abuse history. Be honest. If you abused substances in the past – tell your child the truth and why you stopped. If you are caught in a lie, your credibility on the subject will be lost. 7. Reason with your kids. As your children grow up, rules won’t be enough. They need reasons as well. Be prepared to talk with your children about the use of alcohol, tobacco and drugs – and to talk with them, not just to them. Bring to these conversations lots of patience and a good set of facts about the risks, lifetime penalties and health consequences of drug use. 8. Listen. Listen to your child; encourage them to tell you what they think. Give your child time to complete his or her thoughts. Don’t jump to conclusions or make assumptions about what your child is thinking or is worried about. 9. Know your kids’ friends. Are the friends likely to try whatever is offered to them? Are they likely to be the one offering? It may not be your job to be their parent, but they will affect your child’s life. 10. Don’t worry. Taking a firm stand against drug use will not damage your relationship with your child. A loving relationship is the reward of parenthood, not the purpose. Most children will be grateful that you are clear and honest with them. Moreover, many kids are looking for a good reason to avoid trying drugs, so it helps if they can explain, “My parents would kill me, if I did.” Doug Rogers is a substance abuse prevention counselor with the Vernon School District.

Licenses granted for reservoir lakes JUDIE STEEVES Black Press
Purchase 2 or more qualifying g ELECTROLUX APPLIANCES S o and receive up to EL U X86 1 FE B1 2
Over the objections of Lake Country council, the head of water allocation for this region of the province has granted water licences on the district’s main reservoirs to a number of owners of recreational leases on lots on Crown land. Lake Country Mayor James Baker said the reservoir’s water is already fully licensed, so to add new licensees goes against the Water Act. The district intends to appeal the decision. In a letter dated Aug. 21 to the district, Conrad Pryce, assistant regional water manager, says there is water available to meet the licensed demand and the quantity of water involved is “insignificant relative to the total reservoir James Baker volume.” Instead of licences for water for the whole year, he approved restricted licences from May 1 to Oct. 31; only for when the reservoir is more than 30 per cent full; only for the term of the Crown lease involved; and only if a flow metering device is installed and monitored, with use reports submitted annually. However, Baker says the district hired Stu Mould of Mould Engineering last year to conduct a review of the applications to take water from Beaver (Swalwell),Crooked and Oyama Lakes. He reported there is only water in excess of existing licences available in unusual years of high inflow when the dam is spilling, and only for a short period of time. “No surplus water exists in the system during summer and winter periods, otherwise DLC would not have constructed the dams and storage reservoir,” he wrote. He recommended denial of the applications from the lessees. He also questioned whether a water licence can be issued to a lessee since the Water Act says only an owner of land can hold a water licence. When Baker brought up the issue at Friday’s Okanagan Basin Water Board meeting, Toby Pike, manager of the South East Kelowna Irrigation District, reported the same thing happened on Minnow Lake, one of that district’s reservoirs. “There wouldn’t have been a recreational lot there if we hadn’t created the reservoir,” he noted. “Our ratepayers paid to build the reservoir, yet these lessees are getting a free ride,” he added. Board members agreed to have staff report on the matter for the next monthly meeting of the board.

Vipers shaded at BCHL Showcase Morning Star Staff
One rink, three days, 16 B.C. Hockey League teams and a couple hundred college and pro scouts. It added up to some great exposure for the next wave of Junior A talent at the league’s inaugural Save-On Foods Showcase last weekend in Chilliwack. The Vernon Vipers were on the wrong side of a pair of one-goal games at Prospera Centre, falling 3-2 in overtime to the defending Fred Page champion Penticton Vees Saturday afternoon, followed by a 4-3 loss to the Powell River Kings Sunday morning. Vipers’ head coach Jason Williamson has some tinkering to do with his lineup, but he took some positives from his team’s start despite the losses. “We got the nerves out, and it was something to build off for sure,” he said. “We showed some things we need to work on and work out some kinks, and we need to find ways to win those one-goal games.” With representatives from Central Scouting, NHL and NCAA (the Anaheim Ducks had four scouts in attendance), Williamson said the post-game scouting interviews were as action packed as the games themselves. He had never seen anyERIC WELSH/BLACK PRESS thing like it. Vernon Viper forward Craig Martin (No. 11) buries a 2-on-1 feed from linemate Jedd Soleway past Penticton Vees’ netminder Chad Katunar in B.C. “It was an absolute schmozzle; all Hockey League action Saturday afternoon at Prospera Centre in Chilliwack. The Vipers fell 3-2 in overtime. three coaches were talking to scouts,” said Williamson. frame, collecting three goals in a little more Vernon resumes regular-season action “Jedd (Soleway) and Craig (Martin) scramble to force extra time.

Jackets’ defence jacked Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Yellow Jackets used stifling defence and timely offensive plays to remain undefeated in the Southern Interior Football League’s Pee Wee division Sunday at Grahame Park. With three minutes to play, Zack Smith broke free for a 20-yard touchdown run to give the Jackets a 10-6 comeback win over the Kelowna Lions, improving their record to 3-0. Following a scoreless first quarter, the Lions pounced on a quarterback fumble and rambled 40 yards to take a 6-0 lead. Relentless pressure from the Jackets’ defence paid off just before halftime when defensive end Matthew Reich and Thomas Satterthwaites combined to sack the quarterback for a safety. “We knew if we could continue to play tough defence, our (offence) would eventually score,” said head coach Bryan Cragg. Hoping to avoid being pinned deep in their own territory, Kelowna conceded another safety in the third quarter. After Smith’s TD, Liam Glennon executed a perfect on-side kick that was recovered by the Jackets, ending any hope of a Lion comeback. “Our defensive front was the difference in this game,” said Cragg. “Reich (7.5 tackles), Satterthwaites (3.5 tackles), Isaiah Ondrik (four tackles) and Devin Hofsink (three tackles) were in the backfield making plays all day long and held their offense to negative yards on the day.” The Jackets host the 0-3 Salmon Arm Colts Sunday morning (11:00) at Grahame. Meanwhile, the Vernon Wolverines fell 22-6 to the Chilliwack Giants in a hard-fought Bantam division opener Sunday at Grahame. Trey Isaac kicked a 50-yard punt which was mishandled by the returner and was recovered in their end zone by Vernon Middle linebacker Max
Chapman for the Wolverines’ lone score. Chilliwack scored a touchdown on a broken play with only seconds left in the game to make the scoreline appear more lopsided than it really was. Zac Kronbauer earned the Wolverines’ Player of the Game for his continuous intensity on both sides of the ball, and on special teams. Chapman was a force on the Wolverines’ defence, and quarterback Tye Kitzman was a standout offensively. Said Wolverine head coach Doug Cook: “All of the coaches are very happy and proud of the effort each and every player put out today. If it wasn’t for a couple first-game mistakes, the W would have been on our side of the score sheet.” The Wolverines visit Meadow Ridge in the Fraser Valley Saturday. In Junior Bantam action, the Vernon Marauders bowed 40-6 to the Kelowna Lions Sunday afternoon at Grahame. Connor Manahan scored the Marauders’ only TD, and compiled 92 rushing yards. Keaton Vernon was also solid, rushing for 87 yards before being sidelined with an injury early in the third quarter. Both QBs, Dylan Huber and Keegan Vicklund, played solid games and were supported by linemen Clayton Hamming, Tommy Bettcher and Kaiden Parton. Morgan Nichols did an outstanding job as a punter, launching one kick 37 yards. On defence, Tyler (Ducky) Sova was a standout with eight tackles and a sack. Tyler Riva added seven tackles and worked well on the pass rush. Zack Rogers had five tackles and a fumble recovery. The Marauders suffered several mental lapses that led to penalties and killed drives. “We are still teaching some of our new players the game,” said head coach Ron Kirschner. “As they gain experience they will make fewer mistakes.” The Marauders host the Salmon Arm Broncos Sunday, 1 p.m., at Grahame.
Reeling from two straight losses, the host Peterborough Lakers regrouped to earn a 14-10 win over the Langley Thunder in Game 3 of the Mann Cup Senior A lacrosse championships Monday night at the Memorial Centre. Tied 7-7 after two periods, the Lakers exploded for seven goals in the third frame. After leaving Game 2 with a suspected knee injury, Peterborough’s John Grant returned to lead his team with three goals and an assist. Jordan MacIntosh (3G), Mark Steenhuis, Shawn Evans (1+5) and John Tavares (1+2) also had big nights for Peterborough. Athan Ianucci (4+1), Alex Turner (2+1), Tor Reinholdt (2+1), Lewis Ratcliff (1+4) and Matt Leveque answered for the Thunder. Langley netminder Brodie MacDonald, a Vernon product, continues to be the busier of the keepers, averaging more than 50 shots a game. He had 39 stops in Monday’s loss. MacDonald backstopped the Thunder with a 39-save showing in Langley’s 15-14 OT win in Game 2 Sunday. Tyler Carlson had 26 saves for the Lakers. Garrett Billings was clutch for Langley, collecting two of his three goals in OT and adding seven assists for a 10-point night. Other offence came from Iannucci (4+3), Joel McCready (3+2), Ratcliff (2+3), Turner (1+3), Reinholdt (1+3) and Nik Bilic. The Lakers were led with 4+1 from Cory Vitarelli, three goals from Evans and 2+1 from Grant. Similar to the series opener, Peterborough built up a first-period lead, only to watch Langley storm back in the second frame. Games 4 and 5 go tonight and Friday, respectively. If necessary, Games 6 and 7 would go Saturday and Sunday.

Celtic squeak into semis Morning Star Staff
Vernon Celtic are through to the Okanagan Men’s 35+ Soccer League semifinals after topping host Select Your Tickets 1-0 (5-4) in a penalty shootout thriller Monday night at Mission Fields in Kelowna. The Celtic, who finished fourth at 9-7-2, showed up with a full squad and a tenacious attitude, and dominated the first half. Multiple chances were generated but the ball did not end in the net. The second half was more balanced with both teams playing a high tempo and battling for every yard, leading to multiple yellow cards. Vernon fullbacks Dave Dobernigg and Volker Otto patrolled the 18-yard box, leaving no man unchecked. Even during the shootout, there was little separating the teams. Ryan Sharpe, Bryan Schenker and Jesse Knight calmly converted on Celtic’s first three shots. Select Your Tickets’ fourth shooter struck the crossbar, while Celtics’ fourth man, Tim McGowan, put the pressure on by blasting a shot past the Kelowna keeper. Chris Ovens showed no nerves in burying the winner. Celtic now face the defending champs and league winners Penticton FC Monday in Kelowna. In men’s 45+ league play under the lights Monday in Salmon Arm, host McIsaac and Co. got back on the winning track with a 3-1 win over Vernon’s Bosman Accounting. Playing in driving rain on Salmon Arm Credit Union & Savings Sports Field, the 8-11-2 McIsaac crew was led by a pair of goals from Wolfang Bopp and a single from Dave Howes, all in the first half. After the break, Bosman (4-17) replied when midfielder Ian Murphy buried a rebound from in tight after Stan Pavlov’s shot was blocked. The Bugaboo’s Cafe Man of the Match for Bosman was keeper Guy Paulsen, who made several clutch saves. At the other end, keeper Al Bensmiller thwarted striker Kevin Mitchell on a late breakaway. He used his face to block a rocket rebound from 10 yards out by defender Gerry Geelkerken in first half. Salmon Arm welcomed back Nigel Clack, who was on three weeks vacation, and was solid in the middle setting up his team’s last two goals. On a dismal night on Marshall Field #5, Big O Tire/Turn-Key Ogopogos bowed 1-0 to Lake Country. The hard-fought battle for fourth place
ANDRE LODDER/MORNING STAR
Dennis Berg of the Silver Stars (left) tracks down Rob Hulstein of the Leko Precast Camels in Okanagan Mens 45+ Soccer League action Monday night at Marshall Field. was full of back-and-forth chances, with the slippery ball shanking off many boots. The eventual winner came off a Lake Country corner by Andrew Martin that was headed into the corner pocket by Duane Mueller after he outmuscled two defenders. The Ogopogos’ keeper left halfway through the second half after colliding with a Lake Country forward. 12-9 Big O also lost defender Leo Nadeau early with a calf pull. Mike Powell nearly set up Roland Riedstra for the equalizer late in the game, but a Lake Country defender came sliding across to break up the play. Lake Country is 13-6-2. In an all-Vernon battle on Marshall #1, the Leko PreCast Camels blanked the Silver Stars 2-0. Brian Williamson opened the 16-4-1 Camels’ account in the second half. He collected a throw-in, wheeled up the left wing and caught the Stars’ keeper looking for the cross with a rocket to the short side. Dan Zieske completed the offence with a chip shot over the keeper after taking a
feed from Jeff Vest. The Stars are 9-7-5. Brandt’s Pub keeper Dave Gadd was the story of game as he backstopped his team to a 1-1 draw against North Country Appraisals at Parkinson Rec Fields in Kelowna. Despite being outshot 25-1 and heavily outplayed, Brandt’s (4-16-1) took a 1-0 lead into the second half when Andy Miller connected with a postage stamp effort to the top corner from just outside the box. It was one for his Mum who had died the previous Wednesday. In the second half, 10-6-5 North Country finally equalized when Will Kruiper deftly redirected a hard shot by Kent Molgat that was heading wide. Brandt’s centre halves, Tony Overton and Mark Brown, turned in stellar performances, while Greg Bevandick was Man of the Match for North Country. Rutland Spirit spooked Pushor Mitchell Advocates 2-0 at Parkinson Fields. Richard Chapman and Roger Russelli handled the offence for the 4-16-1 Spirit. The Pushor crew fell to 5-14-2.

Vernon products sizzle for Heat Valley Daze Morning Star Staff/UBC Okanagan Athletics
Kalamalka Laker grad Kirsten Dodds supplied the opening goal as the UBC Okanagan Heat bounced the Douglas College Royals 3-0 in PacWest women’s soccer action Sunday at Nonis Sports Field in Kelowna. It was a bounce-back effort for the Heat, who lost 2-0 to the Kwantlen Eagles in their season opener a day earlier. “We played stronger today,� said Heat coach Claire Paterson, of the win. “We played to our strengths a bit more. We moved the ball around to feet, which helped us be successful.� Dodds, a second-year forward, scored in the 31st minute off of a scramble in front of the Royals’ net, nicking the ball past the keeper. In the second half, Lana Finley (2nd year, Forward, Kelowna) made it 2-0 off
of a beautiful cross from Dodds. Taylor Candelario (Forward, Honolulu) completed the scoring. Vernon’s Michelle Smith, a VSS grad, is a second-year midfielder with the Heat. In men’s soccer action, Vernon’s Austin Jones scored once for the Heat in a 4-2 loss to the Royals Sunday. Jones, a Fulton grad, converted in the 15th minute, while Jorden Lieb capped UBC’s offence in the 38th. The Heat led 2-1 after 45 minutes, but could not capitalize on a two-man advantage, surrendering three second-half goals. In spite of the result, Heat head coach Dante Zanatta had positive reflections on Sunday’s game. “We played some very nice football,� said Zanatta. “We took on one of the best teams in the league without really any stress. It was very encouraging.�
Sahil Sadhu, a second-year striker from Douglas, wreaked havoc on the Heat defence all afternoon, tallying three goals. Steven Fronzo, a first-year midfielder, scored the fourth Royal goal with just 10 minutes remaining. “It’s not a bad time to have this learning experience,� added Zanatta. “It’s better now than late in the season. You never want to drop points at home, but if we can take this lesson and learn from it, then it’s OK.� Andrew Pinguelo scored for the Heat in a 1-1 draw with Kwantlen Saturday in Kelowna. The UBC Okanagan men’s squad features netminder Jeremy Kler, a Seaton grad. Both the Heat’s men’s and women’s teams visit the Langara Falcons Saturday at BCIT, and the Quest Kermodes Sunday in Squamish.

The
Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder QUICKLY OR SLOWLY, WHICH IS BETTER? Arthur Ashe said, “A wise person decides slowly but abides by these decisions.” That is interesting from someone who had to make split-second decisions on a tennis court. However, in each deal, declarer and the defenders must decide whether to strive quickly to take the number of tricks needed to make or break the contract, or to act more leisurely, slowly developing the necessary winners. Which applies in today’s deal? South is in one notrump. West leads his fourth-highest diamond, East puts up the jack, and South wins with his king. These days, many Easts would have responded one
heart over North’s takeout double. But it consumes no space and cannot even be considered a useful leaddirector. South starts with five top tricks: three spades, one diamond (trick one) and one club. It looks tempting to play on clubs, where surely West has the king. But note what happens. If declarer plays a club to the queen, cashes the club ace, and plays a third club, East takes the trick and returns a diamond. Then the defenders can collect one club, four diamonds and two hearts for down one. Is there a better way to get the two extra tricks? Yes, if South is willing to go slowly by attacking hearts. He loses two tricks
in the suit, but he also establishes two winners. The defense is held to two hearts and four diamonds, while declarer takes three spades, two hearts, one diamond and one club. Losing tricks early to establish winners is a common no-trump strategy.

Coral will be lovingly remembered by her son; Andy (Lynn) Miller, her daughter; Michelle (David Simpson) Fitzgerald, her three grandchildren; Jennifer, Kyle and Ross Miller, her great-grandson; Eliott Vanderhorst as well as numerous extended family members and friends.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of Gudrun Nieswand on September 5th at Hospice House in Vernon with her son and daughter holding her hand. Mourning her loss are her two children: Tanya (Allan) Golanowski and Tristan (Teresa) Nieswand. The two little loves of her life – her grandchildren Brandon and Chloe will also miss their Omi very much. Gudrun is also survived by her loving older sister Elli (Helmut) Janke and her 3 nephews Derek, Robert & Paul. Gudrun emigrated from Germany to Canada in 1967 and settled in Vancouver for a few years until the family moved to Vernon in 1975. It was here that she made many wonderful friendships. One thing that brought her sincere joy and satisfaction was sharing the Bible’s hope for the future as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Mom will be remembered most for her warmth and kind-heartedness, and the depth of love for her family. Despite the many challenges she faced in her life, she always had a genuine smile that won’t be forgotten. Deep appreciation goes to the unbelievable staff at Hospice House, but especially to Dr. Botha and Dr. Kader who gave mom exceptional care over the last 4 years. A memorial service will be held at the East Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses - 1424 Mission Rd, on Saturday September 15th at 2 pm with a tea to follow.

New police watchdog keeping an eye on B.C. RCMP TOM FLETCHER Black Press
B.C.’s new police oversight office is officially in operation, ready to take over investigations of incidents
involving police that result in serious injury or death. Former U.S. prosecutor Richard Rosenthal was hired last year for the new office, after
establishing similar services in Denver and Portland. Rosenthal told a news conference Monday he has hired 30 of 36 investigators, divided into
four teams, who are now on call to oversee investigation of any major incident involving police in the province. About half of those investigators are former police,
none of whom previously worked in B.C. Rosenthal and Justice Minister Shirley Bond said police experience is required, because the teams will need to secure

crime scenes, interview police and other witnesses, and investigate incidents involving off-duty police officers, including homicides. B.C.’s Independent Investigations Office (IIO) is the fourth of its kind in Canada, and has the largest civilian presence of any in the world, Rosenthal said. The B.C. government committed to a civilianled agency after a string of incidents involving RCMP and city police forces. The office was recommended by inquiries into the 2007 death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver airport, and Frank Paul, who was removed from the Vancouver Police drunk tank in 1998 and left unconscious in an alley. The 2005 gunshot death of Ian Bush at the RCMP detachment in Houston, B.C. was another case that
pushed the B.C. government to end the practice of police incidents being investigated by other police forces. The independent office will also bring B.C. RCMP officers under civilian oversight. Bond said B.C. police agencies asked for independent oversight after police-led investigations in the Paul and Dziekanski cases eroded public support. Rosenthal said he intends to make reports public, whether or not the IIO recommends charges against police officers. Final decisions on charges are made by a Crown prosecutor, as with any other B.C. criminal case. The IIO expects to deal with about 100 cases involving death or serious injury in an average year. The office has a budget of about $10 million a year, working out of headquarters in Surrey.
No two kids are alike. That’s what makes teaching both a challenge and a joy. It’s also why each student needs – and deserves – more of our time. Teachers will be working hard to give them that time. And together with parents, we’ll be urging government to help. Years of cuts have led to overcrowded classes. Our kids desperately need smaller classes, better support for students with special needs, and more one-on-one time. Every child matters. And every year counts.
Smaller classes, better support for kids with special needs, and more one-on-one time. THAT’S WHAT OUR STUDENTS DESERVE.

Towns tackle modern problems
L
ocal politicians are preparing for their annual convention, to be held Sept. 25 to 28 here in the provincial capital. One of the first orders of business this year will be a vote to raise the dues paid by local governments to the Union of B.C. Municipalities, to cover rising travel costs for staff to serve on provincial committees. The plan is also to change the name to Union of B.C. Local Governments, to reflect the participation of regional districts and aboriginal communities. So what do these committees and conferences accomplish? The UBCLG, as it will soon be known, is mainly a lobby group for local politicians to seek changes to federal and provincial laws to keep up with changing times. The resolutions offer a snapshot of modern problems facing local governments. A major theme is public safety, and this year it is the Columbia Shuswap Regional District renewing a long-standing plea for more provincial policing money for rural communities. Surrey has a resolution seeking better notice and control of a growing number of medical marijuana licences issued by Ottawa. Local fire and
police departments end up dealing with licensed grow-ops that spring up quietly and create electrical hazards, or expand production beyond their licences as this stealth legalization continues. Pitt Meadows, home to a Hells Angels clubhouse and drugrelated crime familiar to most urban communities, wants B.C. to follow Alberta’s lead and give police authority to remove known gang members from bars and clubs. Gangs tend to adopt certain establishments, and there isn’t much the owners or police can do about it. This year, the debate may go further. Metchosin is seeking support to call on Ottawa to decriminalize marijuana, ending a “failed policy which has cost millions of dollars in police, court, jail and social costs.” No chance of that under the Stephen Harper government, but it’s worthwhile to send the message. Another long-shot demand, sparked by the abduction of threeyear-old Kienan Hebert of Sparwood last year, is for Ottawa to make its sex offender registry public for convicted repeat offenders. Ashcroft councillors
want to give emergency services authority to deal with another modern hazard: hoarding. Yes folks, it’s more than just a show on TV that exposes a creepy side effect of Tom Fletcher our bloated North American consumer culture. The Ashcroft resolution notes that
B.C. VIEWS
Suspect sought in tool stabbing Black Press
A Kelowna man has been released from hospital after being stabbed with a screwdriver Friday night. The Kelowna resident contacted Mounties at 10:16 p.m. after a man allegedly attempted to break into his residence. The alleged victim confronted the suspect, causing the suspect to run away. The resident chased him a short distance before the two men began to fight. The suspect, in effort to get away from the resident, used a screwdriver in a stabbing motion to get away, then fled on foot. The resident did not suffer any life-threatening injuries and was released from Kelowna General Hospital a short time later. Kelowna RCMP utilized the Police Dog Services in attempt to locate the suspect who fled the scene. Mounties were unable to find him Friday night, but according to Sgt. Brad Swecera, efforts will continue to identify and locate the suspect male.
obsessively piling stuff to the rafters is a growing problem. And as with marijuana grow ops, “local governments have little or no authority to enforce compliance with health and safety standards when a building is owner occupied.” Another First World problem is the “pocket dialing” of 9-1-1 by mobile phones. This is more than just a nuisance, because local
emergency services are obliged to respond to every call they get. And mobile phones can’t be traced to their location with any precision, creating time-consuming searches that weaken response to real emergencies. Other resolutions tackle complex and important issues, such as the effect of hydro development on municipal water supplies. But alas, most
will be lost in the convention noise, overshadowed by political posturing over matters best left alone. Last year’s convention featured the low comedy of delegates voting with wireless devices to condemn smart meters, after displaying their ignorance of the subject. This year, in addition to factually challenged railing about oil tankers, there will be
a tough stance taken against shark’s fin soup, which will no doubt strike fear into the Chinese fishing fleet. Once delegates vote themselves more taxpayers’ money to run this show, perhaps they should keep their grandstanding to a minimum.

Canadian “Superfood” Gaining International Attention Creator of UMAC Core™
Still Def ying The Odds UMAC-CORE is a unique product created out of an urgent need. In 2004 Tom Harper was diagnosed with a life threatening illness caused by asbestos exposure and given only months to live. He had been raising shellfish at his Research Sea Farm on Vancouver Island, simultaneously perfecting the only method worldwide of growing wild phytoplankton for use in the Aquaculture industry. Based on the wild plankton’s powerful nutritional profile, upon his diagnosis he decided to consume the blend of micronutrients as an energy source he so desperately needed at the time. Every day he ingested the minute ocean plants and every day he felt stronger and experienced less pain. Finally a surgeon performed exploratory surgery. To the doctor’s surprise he was inexplicably able to deliver Mr. Harper a clean bill of health. Six years later, Tom Harper is healthy and, in his words, “feeling totally different. I’m pain free and I’m leading a good, healthy, normal life.” Not long after the product was officially launched in Canada and the U.S.A., the University of Utah completed a randomized full double-blind placebo-control pilot study of UMAC-CORE over a 90 day period with human subjects. Doctors who conducted the studies were impressed with the results and concluded that UMAC-CORE really does help enhance the immune system and support mood fluctuations, quality of sleep, and overall emotional well-being. UMAC-CORE quickly gained far more attention than Harper could have imagined. “People were experiencing really positive shifts in their health,” Harper says. “Our success was consumer driven and we weren’t quite prepared for the demand. There were times when staff would offer to spend the night at the office so that we could get the product out, and they often did!” Today UMAC-CORE is available in over 800 health food stores across Canada, in stores all across the United States and overseas in Australia, New Zealand and Spain. Following the interest and countless testimonials from the public, UMAC-CORE has been written about in dozens of newspapers across North America – and the excitement continues to grow.
Tom Harper—Creator of UMAC Core™ Marine Phytoplankton carefully inspects a sample of newly grown wild Phytoplankton at his Sea farm on Vancouver Island, BC Kim Iles of Choices 4 Wellness – a Retailer in Chatham Ontario says, “I recommend UMAC-CORE to everybody – it’s one of the top two products in our whole store and that’s because people see results! I tell people that if they needed to pick only one thing, then pick UMAC-CORE. It has all the vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. It’s a complete food and does so many different things in the body that it’s probably the most complete supplement to recommend.” People are even giving it to their pets with remarkable results. In fact, Kim Iles says it’s the results she gets with animals that have convinced her of the product’s efficacy. “It’s not a placebo effect when you give it to your pets. We’ve nursed sick animals back to health with UMAC-CORE. That’s how I judge if a product really works – if you can see results with animals – and we do.”
Also, once the majority of plankton is harvested, the remaining plankton nutrients are returned back to the ocean – 3 to 5 times more than what was originally “borrowed” to commence the bloom cycle; helping to strengthen the base of the ocean’s food chain. Extraordinary benefits have already been discovered with a product that has only been available for 5 years. UMAC Core is available in Liquid and Capsule formulations. For information call Hedley Enterprises at 1-888-292-5660 or to locate a Retailer near you go on-line to: www.umaclife.com
Mr. Harper’s Sea Farm which grows the wild phytoplankton offered in UMAC-CORE is also making a positive impact on the environment. “I consider it one on the greenest companies in the world. Not only are we able to give back to human beings, we are also giving back to the planet.” Unique Sea Farms’ only by-product is pure oxygen! Marine Phytoplankton consumes carbon dioxide and releases oxygen back into theatmosphere as it blooms in the one million litre outdoor open tanks.
