Firefighters battle a blaze at a Vernon townhouse complex on Heritage Drive Thursday afternoon. The fire broke out in a unit in a row of townhouses designed to house people with disabilities.
Fire forces residents to flee homes Fire broke out in a row of Vernon townhouses Thursday afternoon. The blaze is believed to have started in a one-bedroom unit in a row of five townhouses for people with disabilities at Kikanee Estates shortly after 3 p.m. in the 5700 block of Heritage Drive. “I was going up Bella Vista (Road), immediately saw smoke and another car calling 911,” said fire witness Samantha Paulsen. “So I turned around, came down here a million miles an hour, started seeing flames and began running around to the houses and neighbours, banging on the doors trying to get everybody out.” The unit where the fire is believed to have started housed a single woman in her 30s, and Kikanee

Estates property manager Karen Gerein said the woman got out of the home, and that all of the tenants from the five units were accounted for. “This is terrible,” she said. “It’s a beautiful complex with lovely tenants. These are our disabled units. People need this housing. The kids are upset, we have kids coming out of the complex.” One unidentified woman said she lived in the unit beside the one on fire, and had nowhere to go and nobody to call. “Now you do,” said another unidentified woman. “I just live down the street and you can come stay with me.” Another young woman was seen running up the sidewalk into the waiting arms of her sobbing mom. Both are believed to be tenants of
the complex, which houses 40 units in total. Vernon Fire Chief Keith Green addressed the media gathered at the site and said three of the units were heavily damaged by the fire. “The fire appears to have gone up into the attic space and run along into a couple of more units,” said Green. “I don’t have any more details at this time. One eyewitness said the fire started outside, and we’ll be looking into that.” Green reaffirmed that all of the tenants had got out of the complex and had been reunited with loved ones. Emergency social services personnel were called to help deal with the displaced tenants. A cause of the fire had not been determined prior to The Morning Star’s press deadline.

News United Way breakfast serves up record RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Fingers were flying at the United Way’s drive-thru breakfast. Galina Labun and Brittany Sjoblom were duelling over Facebook as they tried to drum up support for the annual fundraiser at the Best Western Vernon Lodge Thursday. “I’m telling everyone to get down here,� said Labun, VantageOne Credit Union’s marketing manager. Sjoblom, Vernon Winter Carnival office manager, was also kept busy networking with donors via social media. “I had a comment that someone saw it on there and came down as a result, which I thought was really great,� she said. The drive-thru breakfast raised a record $14,303 towards the $300,000 goal the United Way has set for this year’s campaign. “It’s a high-energy kick-off,� said Linda Yule, United Way executive director. “A big thank you to all of the sponsors and all of the volunteers that helped make this event a huge success.� Besides getting a bag full of goodies, donors also got their windshields washed while in line. “I’m pretty good at delegating,� laughed Tom Christensen, with Nixon Wenger Lawyers, as he sipped his coffee and watched Jay Hack, with Davidson Lawyers, head to another car with a squeegee. Community support came from individual residents and businesses. Regional District of North Okanagan staff did their part by picking up 19 of the breakfast bags. “I can gather up money when I need to,� said Janice Buick, a clerk, as she found room for the bags in a car. The funds raised during the breakfast, as well as those generated during the campaign, will go towards the operations of 25 nonprofit agencies. Yule says the $300,000 goal is a realistic representation of what is needed to provide vital services. “We’re asked for much more than that by the agencies,� said Yule, who is confident residents will recognize the importance of the community services. “One in three people are served by the agencies, from pre-natal programs to good morning calls for seniors.� To support the United Way campaign, call 250-549-1346 or go to unitedwaynocs. com

Stolen motorbike located MONIQUE TAMMINGA Black Press
Various police units from around the Lower Mainland worked together in Langley to catch a suspect with Vernon links. While patrolling Langley Saturday, a supervising officer heard over the radio that a Fraser Valley IRSU (Integrated Road Safety Unit) officer was following a stolen pick-up truck in Willoughby. At that time the vehicle was eastbound on 84th Avenue in the area of 200th Street. The supervisor was nearby and started moving that way. By then the driver of the stolen vehicle had turned off the truck lights and was driving north on 206th Street. The patrol supervisor attempted to deploy a spike belt but as he did, the stolen vehicle drove past him heading directly into a dead-end street. The two officers followed the vehicle onto a residential property in the 20400 block of 84th Avenue

where the truck had crashed near the edge of the property and the driver fled on foot. A perimeter was set up and the police dog service was called in. The dog was able to establish a track into the bush. After nearly an hour and a half, the tenacity of the dog handler and the police dog, with help from her colleague, caught the suspect hiding in some tall grass. A 28-year-old Salmon Arm man was arrested for possession of stolen property. The truck he crashed had been stolen in Calgary. The motorbike in the back of the pickup truck had been stolen during a break-in in Vernon Aug. 4. Tyrone Emblau was remanded in custody and was scheduled to appear in court Thursday. “The successful conclusion to this investigation is a great example of our units working together ‘to catch a bad guy,’” said Langley RCMP Supt. Derek Cooke.

Extreme love for animals
A
short time ago, I shared what I thought was a very moving, poignant photo with friends on my Facebook page. It was a photo of a baby humpback whale that had beached itself in White Rock after becoming entangled in a fishing net and died. People of all ages in the photo had gathered around the whale, which was cordoned off and guarded by police. Some had even put roses and flowers on the body, as if mourning the death of a family member or friend. As I said, a powerful photo that made me and most of my friends sad. But two of my friends commented that it made no sense to them why people would bring their children to see a dead Roger Knox whale. To which I replied, “I think there’s a chance for education here. And I know I’d be curious to see one of these magnificent creatures up close. How often do you get that chance?” And I feel the same way about the Xtreme Wild exotic animal demsonstration, a big part of this year’s Interior Provincial Exhibition, direct from the Bowmanville Zoo just outside of Toronto. Full disclosure: I did not attend this year’s IPE but now wish I would have because I would have loved to have seen Xtreme Wild’s lion, tiger, zebra and buffalo up close, and I may – though I doubt it – have even ventured for a ride on the camel. What I don’t get is why people get so upset over exotic animals being brought in for exhibits. I mean I get that the animals are not in their natural environments; that they are spending their life in captivity. I get that animals have been cruelly treated in circuses. But, as Xtreme Wild points out with its travelling shows, the animals are brought in to help people – of all ages – learn. Mike Hackenberger is used to complaints.
AT RANDOM
He’s the director of the Bowmanville Zoo. “I agree with you. What Xtreme Wild offered was excellent insight into the biology of predators and relationship with prey and how, at the end of the day, that’s one of the greatest influences of natural selection,” said Hackenberger, who was not in Armstrong. The exhibit was handled by the zoo’s head trainer and head keeper. The Bowmanville Zoo is an accredited institution which brings high levels of animal care, animal welfare, animal research and conservation to their activity. For many people, said Hackenberger, that’s not enough. “Many people truly believe there are wilderness areas that can support large predators. I don’t happen to be one of those,” he said. “We are losing large predator populations around the world in the marine environment and the terrestrial environment. “If we can use these animals as ambassadors and work with these animals to develop a higher degree of human responsibilities as it relates to the maintenance of the planet, then I truly believe we can make a difference.” There has been criticism levied against the IPE for bringing in the exhibit. People have vowed to boycott the fair because they brought in wild animals to the show. Not sure if that means the rodeo is OK with these people but having caged animals is not. And this is what I don’t understand from animal lovers. Really? You’d boycott the 100-plus year-old IPE because it brought in animals that the majority of us, in our lifetime, would never get to see in their natural environment? If you had kids, you’d deny them a chance to find out what makes a lion roar or why zebras have stripes? You don’t have to view the wild animal exhibits. Your choice. Me, I have no problems watching lions and tigers and learning more about them, and am grateful I have the chance to check them out in my backyard. I hope they return next year.
Once again, an Okanagan community is threatened by wildfire. What started out as a quiet Sunday in Peachland suddenly turned into anything but that. Evacuation alerts suddenly were posted. Residents told by police to leave their homes with barely a moment’s notice. Fire, police and emergency response officials scrambling to react to a raging forest fire emboldened with ideal burning conditions. It’s all too familiar, the Trepanier fire becoming yet another community-threatening blaze sparked in our region. Penticton’s brush with a catastrophic wildfire came in 1994, when the Garnet Valley blaze destroyed 18 homes and forced the evacuation of 3,500 people. Then, in 2003, the Okanagan Mountain Park fire tore through neighbourhoods in Kelowna. That was followed by the Glenrosa fire that threatened to torch that West Kelowna neighbourhood, and the Terrace Mountain blaze on the west side of Okanagan Lake. And now it was Peachland’s turn in the second week of September, a time when one might think concern for forest fires might begin to wane. The fire season for our region starts in May and continues now, apparently, into September. That’s why we need to be thinking fire prevention all the time, evident by the scorched earth reminders all around us from those past fires. Large fires and small pose a danger to those living in this valley, enjoying a great lifestyle living on the very doorsteps of nature. But the blaze that threatened Peachland is a reminder that no matter what time of year, there is a need for constant vigilance of how we interact with the environment, if we wish to preserve that lifestyle. — Penticton Western News

Don't take water for granted
R
ecently our water pump to our well broke. So we were unable to get water pumped to our house. This really made me think about how much water we actually use. We don’t use water just to wash our dishes and to take showers but we use it for so many other things like drinking water, cooking, filling up your dogs water bowl and much more. Water isn’t just a liquid; it is a substance to life. So it really made me think about the children in Africa for example: how they have to walk many kilometres to fill up a jug of water and that is what they have to live off of. We were without water for five days and I already had enough by the end of it. I couldn’t imagine spending a lifetime hauling water and living off of a jug of water for a couple days. It made me realize how fortunate I am to just be able to turn on the tap and have clean water streaming out. It also made me realize how much water we waste. So instead of taking those 20-minute showers, take a five-minute shower and when brushing your teeth don’t let the tap run. You may not realize it now but when you get into situations when you don’t have water it becomes a very valuable substance. So next time you water the lawn the entire day or leave the tap running, think about it and realize what you are letting go down the drain. Dory Geelkerken A LOST OPPORTUNITY Old Kamloops Road is nearing completion after a major infrastructure upgrade and I don't see any sign that paving three feet on each side of the road, to provide a safe paved shoulder for bikes and pedestrians to share, is part of the project. An upgrade to Silver Star Road from PV to L&A is already in progress and will there be a paved shoulder? I think not! Why doesn't the Dept. of Highways see that including the paved shoulders when a project is already approved makes sense… the equipment is already there! …. the cost is minimal compared to a "new project." The Minister of Highways has informed me that improvement to BX Road requires a local agency to apply for grants? And what local agency would that be? All improvements to regional roads is decided in Victoria by the Department of Highways. If you are as frustrated with the upgrades to Regional District roads as I am, then please write to

someone or make some noise. Maybe a "swell of concern" might make a difference…. as an individual does not have a hope of being heard. Lorna Jaschke WILD ANIMALS To Bryan Burns, IPE Manager: Firstly, thanks for the work that you and your team do bringing the IPE to our lovely little town year after year. It is a source of pride and nostalgia (I have personally attended the fair every one of my 31 years!). Your hard work and attention to detail is evident. I am not typically a "picky pants" letter writer but I feel there was a sharp departure this year from the spirit and intention of the traditional IPE. I totally understand adding new features and attractions to the fair but, I was totally dismayed to see zoo animals at the fair this year. Not only is the presence of wild animals held in captivity ethically questionable, but a sharp departure from the agricultural tradition of the IPE. Personally, I do not go to zoos or aquari-

ums where wild animals are held in captivity and, upon seeing the lions and camel at the fair I felt totally betrayed that my admission money had, in some part, gone to subjugate these animals. I was hoping to enjoy the fair next year with my first child who will be born in November, but I fear I will not be able to come if the wild animals will be there again. Thanks for taking my concerns into consideration. Laurel Eckhoff McPherson BA, M.Ed LANDING FIREFIGHTERS I would just like to say a resounding hurrah to Mr. Jim Bodkin for his recent letter to the editor of The Morning Star regarding the current unpleasant situation between the Okanagan Landing firefighters and the City of Vernon. I do not live anywhere near Okanagan Landing, but my heart is with the volunteer firefighters there who appear to be callously disrespected and made to feel “second class” to the
volunteers and paid firemen of the city. It is inferred that their training isn’t good enough for Vernon. The fact that they weren’t even consulted prior to city council's decision to not renew their contract was very poor procedure on the city’s part. As Mr. Bodkin states, Vernon may be in the right to not renew the contract, but morally lacking in not discussing the process with the Landing volunteers ahead of time. For Ms. Cunningham to so readily dismiss the existing volunteers shows how little respect she truly has for them. “She isn’t concerned about a lack of recourses” should the existing volunteers, forced into a corner with the choice of “our way or the highway”, resign en masse. Quickly dismissing people who have given up huge amounts of time in training, and firefighting, as well as the families who have supported them. I share Mr. Bodkin’s shame in the way this mat-
ter has been handled. Ms Cunningham states that “this council today is committed to volunteers.” It sure doesn’t seem like it. Thank you to Councillors Nicol, O’Keefe and Spiers for your positions in this matter. Doug Hayden GRATEFUL HOSTS A lot of hard work, with loyal and committed people, goes into organizing a festival, especially one that supports family, community spirit, the musical journeys of our children, local musicians, artisans, food vendors, out-of-town musicians, guests, friends, and is a ‘celebration of plants, people and our planet’ in honoring the ‘harvest’ and our ‘rare piece of earth’. The Back to Earth Community Harvest Fest was held at the beautiful Lavington Park, August 24 and 25, and so, with gratitude, we, extend our hand to you with a … big thank you … See you all next year – same time – same place!

Efforts to outrun cancer will take to the starting line Sunday in Coldstream. The 32nd annual Terry Fox Run gets underway at 11 a.m., with registration starting at 9 a.m., at Coldstream Elementary. The family-friendly, and dog-friendly, event requires no registration fee but donations are encouraged to hopefully reach a goal of raising $10,000 locally. “Last year we had 397 participants so I’d love to see around 400 this year,” said Diana Williamson, run coorganizer. The event features face painting from Silver Star royalty, a bounce and play and silent auction. People are encouraged to check out the Terry Wall to reminisce and learn what trials and tribulations Terry undertook on his run. “Terry Fox created a national legacy and now it is up to us to keep it alive and find a cure for cancer,” said

the five or 10-kilometre course. Those who wish to complete the 10-kilometre route, will repeat the five km loop down Kalamalka Road, up McClounie to Coldstream Creek Road and back to Kalamalka down to the school. “We have a lot of families that come out,” said Williamson, adding that many children also participate in the separate run through their schools. For more information visit www.terryfox.com, or come by Coldstream Elementary Sunday to help outrun cancer.

Tim Hortons serves up smiles RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
It’s time to smile again. Vernon’s Tim Hortons restaurants will sell Smile cookies from today until Sept. 23 as a fundraiser for Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “This year, we are going to support equipment for the expanded cancer care centre,” said Dan Currie, who owns the local Tim Hortons with wife Jamie. “We are hoping to sell lots of cookies.” The cookies are $1 each, and all proceeds, plus matching funds from the Curries, will go to the cause. About $25,000 was raised during 2011’s campaign. “We hope to get close to $28,000 or $30,000 this year,” said Currie. Officials with the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation believe the cookie extravaganza is a great community event. “This is a sweet way for residents to rally behind the hospital and local health care needs,” said Sue Beaudry, director of development. “We thank Dan and Jamie Currie and their staff for their ongoing commitment and support.”
Dan Currie is encouraging everyone to participate in the
campaign. “Our two kids were born there and the
entire community has a reason to support the hospital,” he said.

Water project still on tap Morning Star Staff
A major development in Greater Vernon’s water system remains on track. Separating the drinking and irrigation water lines is mostly complete for the first two phases of the west Swan Lake project, with final testing and disinfection continuing to the end of September. “Work on private property to reconfigure services will begin once the separated waterlines are filled,” said Rod Pleasance, a project engineer with the Regional District of North Okanagan. “Greater Vernon Water expects that this work will begin at the end of September and continue through to mid-December. It is expected that construction works on private property will not impact Old Kamloops Road.” — Pleasance Paving of Old Kamloops Road is now complete from the Blue Jay subdivision to 43rd Avenue. “Paving for the first two phases is expected to be completed by early October,” said Pleasance. Construction of the west Swan Lake separation project started in May. “This project involves separating the drinking and irrigation waterlines in the area west of Swan Lake to improve the drinking water quality by removing Goose Lake as a drinking water source,” said Pleasance. “Upon completion of the project, Goose Lake will be used only for irrigation purposes.” The first two phases of the project (43rd Avenue to the Swan Lake pump station) are expected to be complete by the end of 2012. The third phase of the project (Swan Lake pump station to Highway 97) is budgeted for 2013. “The third phase will include separating the drinking and irrigation waterlines and reconfiguring services on private property,” said Pleasance. “These works will impact Old Kamloops Road for approximately three months while construction is underway.”
“Goose Lake will be used only for irrigation purposes.”

Kittens shoot for support LIMITED TIME OFFER! NO TAX Or FREE in Morning Star Staff
A women’s hockey team hopes to score some significant community support. The Vernon Kittens will hold a fundraiser at the 30th Avenue Safeway and Styles on Main Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. “We had a very successful fundraiser last year,” said Erin Wallace, team manager. Half of the proceeds from the food sales, raffles and auctions will go to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, while the remaining funds will help make playing affordable for its team members. Tips collected in the hair salon will go to Hayley McDougall, who is in need of a $100,000 surgery to hopefully end 10 years of severe, unremitting head pain. During the fundraiser, five stylists will offer men’s and ladies’ haircuts at Styles on Main for $15 and children’s haircuts $10. The Kittens will also sell hot dogs in the Safeway parking lot. A variety of raffle prizes have also been collected including two 50-hour passes for Atlantis Waterslides, left and right Harrow hockey sticks from The Sports Store and a one-month pass to OK Bootcamp. The Kittens, which is part of the Vernon/Armstrong ASHL Hockey League, provides playing opportunities to women, regardless of their age (19-plus), financial situation, family situation or skating ability. “We have single mothers, students, and lowincome families on our team. We rely on fundraising and sponsorship to make playing affordable for all of these members,” said Wallace. “We encourage you all to come out for a haircut, a hot dog and chances to win some amazing prizes, all in support of three very beneficial causes.”

Year-to-date, there have been 111 housing starts in Vernon, up seven per cent from 104 starts during the first right months of 2011. The 111 starts include 82 single-detached units and 29 multiple units.

What do you think about Vernon hosting the Ironman Canada event?
We want to hear from you. Ironman Canada is a triathlon event that brings up to 2,500 athletes to the host community to compete in an endurance race. The Ironman event includes a 3.86 km swim, 180.25 km bike race and 42.2 km run. There are currently over 90,000 people who compete in Ironman events throughout the world, and the sport continues to grow.
A 2004 study done in Penticton stated that the economic impact to that community was $12.5 million. There are very few economic development or tourism initiatives that can provide such a significant economic benefit to our community. Hosting Ironman Canada would also promote our community on a national and international stage.
Vernon has been invited to submit a bid to host Ironman Canada over the next five years, starting in 2013. The bid must be presented on September 24, 2012 to the World Triathlon Corporation who own and operate Ironman events. City staff are preparing an event budget and bid package document for Council consideration on September 21, 2012.
Prior to submitting a bid, City Council has said that it needs to know if the community is supportive of hosting this event. An event of this size requires the support of the business community, community groups, residents and volunteers. We need to hear from you so that Council knows whether the community is ‘backing the bid’.
Hosting Ironman Canada would create an economic impact of between $10 and $15 million for the Vernon area each year.
Please let Mayor and Council know how you feel, and if you would be prepared to help with the event.
If you are a business owner/operator/employee:
Would your business be able to pledge funds or in kind support to help offset the costs of hosting this event?
If you represent a community group:
Are you interested in supporting the event financially or by volunteering?
As an individual:
Would you be interested in volunteering for the event and/or the activities leading up to the event?
For anyone who is interested:
Can you tell Council, in your own words, why you think it is important for Vernon to host this event, or if you have any concerns?
You can email or write a letter. Emails and letters should be addressed to the attention of Mayor and Council. All letters and emails must be received no later than 4:30 p.m., September 20, 2012.
Email address: ironman@vernon.ca • City Hall address: 3400 30th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 5E6 Thank you very much for taking the time to let us know your thoughts about this exciting opportunity.

Union snaps up Young netminder GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Joe Young hadn’t played a single B.C. Hockey League game before he landed an NCAA Division 1 scholarship with the Union Dutchmen. That is rare thing for a Junior A prospect, more so for a goalie. “I’d go visit the schools and a lot of them were looking at me, but only a few made offers,” said Young, one of two new faces in the Vernon Vipers’ crease this season. “A lot of them wanted to see me play junior hockey. Union just came out and offered me a spot without junior because they felt confident in my ability. That meant a lot, plus the school itself I really did like.” Union, featuring former forward Viper Cole Ikkala, surprised a lot of teams by advancing to the Frozen Four last season. Young is hoping the Schenectady, NY-based Dutchmen are still flying high when he joins them in Joe Young 2014-15. “The coaches are really looking to repeat that success,” said Young. “They don’t want to just have one good year and fall off the wagon, and they made it clear to me that they really want to continue to move in a forward progression.” Young, 18, was ranked 31st among goalies in the final NHL Central Scouting Bureau list after going 9-6-6 with a 2.33 goals-against average, .932 save percentage and three shutouts last season with the Boston Midget AAA Advantage. Young, 18, entered Viper camp as a bit of an unknown to head coach/GM Jason Williamson, who felt he did enough to usurp returning netminder Danny Todosychuk for the backup role behind Austin Smith. The Hanson, Mass. native (near Boston) said Williamson’s direct approach had a lot with his decision to try out with the Snakes. “The way he carries himself helped me commit to this program,” said Young. “A lot of other coaches promised me things that just weren’t realistic. Willy just really made it
GRAEME CORBETT/MORNING STAR
Netminder Joe Young, a Hanson, Mass. native, stops Logan Mick on his doorstep during Vernon Viper practice Wednesday afternoon at Wesbild Centre. Young recently committed to the NCAA Division 1 Union Dutchmen for the 2014-15 season. clear that what I work for and how hard I play (will determine) what I get.” Young’s Viper debut didn’t exactly go according to plan for the 6-foot-2, 165-pounder. He was shelled for two goals on four shots in a 4-3 loss to the Powell River Kings, and was quickly pulled in favour of Smith. However, Young is taking the rough outing in stride, preferring to look at it as part of his initiation into Junior
A hockey. “This level is by no means above my head,” said the butterfly-style tender. “In terms of adjusting to the pace of the game, I think I’ve done a pretty good job of that. “The bigger thing for me is honing in on the mental aspect, and being confident in net and playing past the nerves...once I’m able to do (that), I’ll be able to help my team win games.”
Vipers stoked for home opener with SilverBacks GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Whether they are a returning vet, or a fresh-faced rookie, it makes no difference – home opener is a big deal to the Vernon Vipers. Aaron Hadley, one of four third-year Vipers, still gets giddy on opening night at Wesbild Centre. It comes, in part, from placing a new set of expectations on himself every season. “Every year is a new year, and every year I want to improve my own game, along with the team,” said the 6-foot-3, 200pound power forward. “It’s exciting. We have a great fan base here in Vernon, so
it’s always nice to show the fans the new players we bring in every year. Being a second-year assistant captain, I have a huge role in helping out the young guys, making sure they know what’s expected of them.” Fans will get their first glimpse of the 2012-13 Vipers Saturday night (7:00) when they host the Salmon Arm SilverBacks in the second leg of a home-and-home at Wesbild Centre. The teams battle tonight at the Shaw Centre. The Vipers, who opened the B.C. Hockey League season with a loss and an OT loss at last weekend’s inaugural Showcase event in Chilliwack, will be feeling extra pressure to perform after missing the playoffs last season.
“That was huge for us,” said Hadley, a Castlegar native. “It gives us a lot of motivation going into this year. No one wants a long summer like last summer.” Rookie forward Craig Martin, a Trail product with good hands, pocketed his first-ever BCHL goal in his debut last weekend against the Penticton Vees. He had a bunch of scoring chances in that game, but opening-night jitters might have got the best of him. “I was pretty nervous the first weekend, but I’m going to be ready to go this weekend,” said Martin, 17, who lined up with Pearce Eviston and Jedd Soleway at the Showcase.

Lamb locks in as full-time chair Morning Star Staff
Kirk Lamb, a lawyer and a former junior, college and pro hockey player, has been appointed as the first full-time chairman and president of the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL). Lamb has served as the CJHL’s volunteer chairman since January 2011 and, during that time, has substantially elevated the profile of the league. Lamb’s appointment is a critical step towards strengthening the hockey and business operations of the CJHL and growing the Junior A game. Kirk Lamb “Our Junior A leagues are working together like never before,” said Lamb. “Their renewed commitment to national cooperation and organization presents a number of unique hockey and business opportunities that can grow the game for our players, teams and fans.” Lamb brings to his role an extensive hockey and professional background. For the past five years he
has practised law with the Calgary firm of Burnet, Duckworth & Palmer LLP. He is an alumnus of the CJHL, CHL, NCAA, and ECHL, and is a graduate of Princeton University. “Kirk has a high degree of integrity, is committed to develop and make every CJHL league better, is confident yet humble, and can remain calm under pressure, under fire, under the gun,” said B.C. Hockey League Commissioner John Grisdale. One of Lamb’s primary responsibilities will be leveraging the CJHL’s strengths to exploit new and expanding opportunities in the hockey and business environment. Taking advantage of these opportunities is critical to the growth of Junior A hockey and the continued development of elitelevel players. “Each year Junior A hockey leagues and teams generate tens of millions of dollars that is invested in developing elite players, many who go on to college, major junior and professional careers,” he said. “A strong and vibrant CJHL will help ensure that these funds continue to be generated and invested in our brightest prospects.”

Speed skating club enters 20th year Morning Star Staff

Local club reaching new heights Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Flying Club is more than just people flying airplanes. It’s one of the oldest, most successful such clubs in the province. Since its inception in 1946 with 39 members, the Vernon Flying Club, now grown to more than 100 members, is one of the most thriving associations in B.C. “We know this from comments received from others and, more importantly, because several members from other aviation communities have chosen to join us,” said club spokesperson Alison Crerar. “While we might not be able to pinpoint exactly what makes us so successful, we do know we have a lot going on and we have a lot of fun.” The club and Silver Star Rotary recently hosted the fourth annual Wings and Wheels at the Vernon Airport on Father’s Day, June 17. An increasingly successful event to raise money for local charities, the attendance numbers keep growing every year. More than 2,000 people came through the gates to enjoy a rare day of sunshine and the many activities for all ages. Most popular with the kids were the airplane flights, both in the air for the older kids and on the ground for the younger set. The club, also known as COPA (Canadian Owners and Pilots Association) Flight 65, flew 101 very excited junior aviators
JOHN WILLIS PHOTO
The popular COPA Kids Day, where pilots take children for a 20-minute flight around the North Okanagan, is just one of the many activities conducted by the Vernon Flying Club. on introductory flights around the area. “Pilots are always keen to share their love of aviation, whether it’s their vocation or their sport, and are happy to donate their time, aircraft and fuel to give kids between the ages of eight and 17 a taste of the thrill of flight,” said Crerar. Youngsters go through a short ground school on the basics of flight, the airplane and safety aspects while on board for the 20-minute flight. Upon landing, it’s hard to tell who is more excited and who have the biggest grins, the kids or the pilots. Younger kids became “Barnstormers”

and scrambled in for a ride in the barrel planes, now in their second year of operation. Towed behind a small garden tractor, the seven little aircraft are a huge hit and the ‘pilots’ took 287 little folk around the patch,’ operating non-stop from opening to closing time. The club got off to a busy start in January.
Always on the lookout for a reason to socialize and a way to help the community, January saw the club participating in The Rice Box’s annual Wokathon. All proceeds were divided between the local Cambodian Support Group and Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Other charities supported by the club include the local Food Bank (where Good News Bears were made in the images of Amelia Bearheart and Wilbear Wright for the local television food bank fundraiser and have contributed food and money to the Food Bank on a yearly basis). Club members grounded themselves and took part in the Heart Fund’s Big Bike Ride on several occasions, at one time being the biggest Big Bike fundraiser in the community. “We’ve supported North Okanagan Community Life Society, Treehouse, Katimavik, Santas Anonymous and Teen Junction,” said Crerar. “Our Christmas Family project has been particularly rewarding. Members have a lot of fun shopping and
wrapping gifts for the families we support.” Each year the club grants aviation bursaries to promising students in aviation fields, another example of the club’s generosity and commitment to the future of aviation. The annual “Rust Remover” seminar on Saturday the 28th was preceded by a pot luck social on Friday evening. This informative session is becoming increasingly popular, and this year the 193 attendees included participants from as far away as Port Alberni, Fort McMurray and Edmonton. A Transport Canadaapproved pilot training seminar featured excellent topics and presenters. A large turnout of members was on hand as the Vernon club hosted its most successful COPA for Kids day to date. On Saturday, May 5, the club had 11 aircraft in operation and 124 kids flown. Check out the Vernon Flying Club website, www.vernonflyingclub.org, for more information. Visitors and new members are always welcome.

that are haphazardly strewn along the trail until February next year to remove them or the district will do it for them. It’s the second phase in a clean-up effort for the public park and trail after council ordered seven remaining private docks also to be removed earlier this year. “There is so much garbage,� said Coun. Lisa Cameron. “There is a broken catamaran, upturned boats, there is a little cabin that looks like it was built in 1910 and hasn’t been maintained since. Some of these structures are blocking the trail. It’s a danger to anyone walking the path.� Dozens of aging boathouses or cabana buildings remain along the trail while canoes and boats are chained to trees at nearly every turn. Cameron says the district’s parks committee received dozens of requests to clean up the area at its last meeting and she says it’s about time. “There is more and more pressure and more and more people using this trail. We need to get a handle on this now.� The issue includes private docks that over the years have been erected in Okanagan Lake, using property that is owned by Lake Country and the province of B.C. In 2010 a dozen docks were ordered to be removed while, strangely, seven others were allowed to remain in place. But earlier this year a motion was passed that the final seven docks also be removed by the end of next year or else they will be taken over by the district. The clean-up effort has Coun. Penny Gambell up in arms. “I was abhorred at the draconian approach to the public in our community and I’m shocked at this kind of motion coming forward,� she said. “It was the same when the docks were removed. It created terrible feeling in the community. Not that we are going to clean up the greenspace. That’s fine. But what is missing here is any consideration for those people that have put the chairs down there.� Mayor James Baker harkened back to the good old days when talking on the issue and reminisced about a time when anyone could stroll to the beach and use a canoe or a boat that was left there. But the boats along the trail are all chained to trees, noted Cameron, and are only there for the people who own them. “This is about people putting private property in a public space,� she said. “This is supposed to be like our Stanley Park (in Vancouver). You wouldn’t see this kind of thing in Stanley Park. This trail is supposed to be for every resident of Lake Country not just a few.� As for the remaining seven docks, Cameron says the district may decide to keep a few of them if they are safe and make them part of the Greenspace by using them within a swim area.

he journey to get to where we want to be can be fraught with challenge so enormous, that it may seem almost impossible. We sometimes really believe that we will not achieve what we want to achieve. That thought has the power to stop us in our tracks. Everything begins in the mind and our thoughts have incredible power. We believe and subsequently achieve what we think. Sometimes our own minds are sabotaging us, due to the power of what we perceive to be real. This perception has been coloured by our life experience. Perhaps we have learned at the knee of a well intentioned parent who looked at life with skepticism; or perhaps we have had a run of negativity in the things that have or have not happened to us; or perhaps we unknowingly (subliminally) buy into the negative media that surrounds us. But there is a key to stopping those thoughts, brushing them aside and moving forward. Know that everything is temporary. We can influence the time that we have right now, in this moment
but have no control over the future, so it is futile to worry ahead of when things might happen. ‘Temporary’ can be defined by our own personal measurement of time. Do you notice that when things are going well in your life, time seems to speed up? Then, when we are being challenged and are feeling stuck, time seems to drag like never before? A busy challenged brain moves forward with purpose, while a not so busy (and perhaps depressed) brain focuses on �what isn’t� and this adds to the frustration and “grows� the issue that can keep us stuck on the ol’ gerbil wheel of our mind. There will always be issues in our lives that we have no control over, but the one thing that we do have control over is ourselves and how we choose to respond and think about situations and events. Happiness and satisfaction come with having goals that keep life moving along in a positive direction. Whether our goal is to walk for 15 minutes daily, or to help someone else, or to stop snacking at 7:00 pm every evening, or to finally get to
a project we have been procrastinating about, the payoff is the feeling of accomplishment when the goal has been achieved. It is important to have an achievable realistic goal every day if you Carole Fawcett feel yourself floundering about emotionally. Personal goals can assist us in sending positive

A sign near Tim Hortons in Lake Country gave Lake Country council plenty to talk about. The sign points drivers along Highway 97 to The Lakes, a development that when completed will add some 3,500 residents to the district. The sign is on Lake Country district property and has been since 2004. For the past several years it hasn’t had the correct permit — a temporary use permit — that is needed to have a sign on district property. A permit was granted in 2004, ran out and then was denied in 2011. Now council has decided to re-grant the temporary permit for the next three years but not before some discussion. “How temporary is it if it’s been there for a decade?” asked Coun. Jamie McEwan. “Are we setting a precedent by allowing a third party billboard in Lake Country? Are we opening our doors for people to come in and ask for a billboard?” In a letter, the developer of the Lakes told council that the sign is needed to direct people to the area to help sell the development and create more of a tax base for the district. That had councillors leaning towards allowing the sign. “It will add about 35 hundred people and that’s a whole community, a major development,” said Coun. Penny Gambell. “The permit did lapse and that’s our responsibility. I just think it makes sense that we would continue to allow it.” Council was concerned with the shoddy upkeep of the area around the sign and passed a resolution allowing for a new three-year permit with the added notation for the developer to regularly maintain the landscaping around the sign.

University establishes water sustainability position The University of B.C. Okanagan has revealed a new position designed to bring the community, politicians, researchers and industry together to examine water resource management. Economics professor John Janmaat will now serve in a position called the B.C. regional innovation chair in water resources and ecosystem sustainability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People want water for a whole lot of things. The big challenge is figuring out how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to share it,â&#x20AC;? said Janmaat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a very dry valley and we have a limited amount of water that we have to figure out how to share among the various different interests for which we see water as being important, ranging from protecting the environment to agriculture to urban industrial growth.â&#x20AC;? Sponsored by the provincial governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leading Edge Endowment Fund to the tune of $1.25 million, the $2.5 million position brings together funds from industry, government and aca-
demia. The industry partner, the Real Estate Foundation of B.C., provided $250,000 while local government leaders on the Okanagan Basin Water Board provided another $500,000 to the pot and the Columbia Basin Trust some $150,000. The money is already going toward a string of research projects like Janmaatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing effort to monitor residential water use in Kelowna and a new doctoral studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work developing a hydrologic and economic model of the Columbia River basin. The model should flush out important issues before the Columbia River Treaty governing crossboarder water use in B.C., Washington and Oregon is renegotiated. The basin houses four dams for flood control and to generate hydro electricity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more we examined the need for water and ecosystem management, the more apparent it became that this region can learn a great deal from its own experiences,â&#x20AC;? said Cynthia Mathieson, dean of

Band roars into town for JobFest A career in music is possible; just ask Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Acres of Lions KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
To quote the denizens of bighair â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s music, Twisted Sister, there are still some kids out there who wanna rock. A nightmare to those parents who envision their sweet Jane or Tommy to be a doctor, lawyer, or, gasp, a journalist, playing music is a viable career if you are willing to work at it. Just ask Jeff Kalesnikoff of Victoria indie rock band Acres of Lions. The vocalist and guitarist says that it is possible to make music your career. He and Acres of Lions are, in fact, demonstrating that point as they tour every nook and cranny of B.C. with a provincial government funded career tour called JobFest 2012. Currently winding their way around the Interior, Acres of Lions perform when JobFest 2012 arrives at Polson Park in Vernon Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The entertainment industry is part of the promotion of JobFest,â&#x20AC;? said Kalesnikoff, adding live rock bands and performers, both local and headliners acts, provide the entertainment on stage throughout the day while young people are introduced to career options through face-to-face discussions with event presenters, guest speakers, career tools, interactive games, and other career-related information. Hired to be part of JobFest by Secret Study, a Vancouver-based organization that connects brands

Acres of Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jeff Kalesnikoff (left), Dan Ball, former drummer Lewis Carter, and Tyson Yerex are in Vernon Tuesday to perform during Jobfest 2012 at Polson Park. to the creative community, Acres of Lions have already made an impact performing to students and youth in Northern B.C. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were already in Haida Gwaii, Dease Lake and points beyond,â&#x20AC;? said Kalesnikoff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to make a connection with the younger crowd and this has been a great way to do it. So far, they have responded well to it. We include the crowd into our set and with these smaller stages weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to do it better.â&#x20AC;? A native of Castlegar, Kalesnikoff has been taking time during JobFest to share his expertise as a working musician. He helped form Acres
of Lions in 2006 and before that played in a punk band with fellow band member Dan Ball, who is originally from Nelson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I worked at a restaurant for five years, but then I said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lets keep touring,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I could offer any advice, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say you have to stick with it and use any ways you can to promote yourselves, whether it be social media, knocking on doors, and calling everyone you know.â&#x20AC;? That persistence has paid off for the band. After establishing themselves in Victoria, Kalesnikoff and Ball met with guitarist/keyboardist Tyson Yerex. An in-demand musician,
Yerex briefly toured with seminal American punk band Against Me! in 2009. Although the Lions recently had a lineup change when its longtime drummer, Lewis Carter, left the band, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve managed to regroup with Shane Deyotte, also a Kootenay boy from Trail, who has taken over the sticks. The band has, so far, recorded two full-length albums, the most recent being 2011â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Collections, released by Cordova Bay Entertainment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our first album, Working, featured songs I had written. They were pretty polished pop-rock songs with anthemic choruses,â&#x20AC;?
said Kalesnikoff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Collections, everyone wrote the songs. We all had ideas and wanted that indie rock sound. We wanted it to be an indication of what the band sounds like live.â&#x20AC;? Describing that sound as having a bit of a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s nostalgic feel â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; think strong pop hooks â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Acres of Lions includes Jimmy Eat World, Motion City Soundtrack and Epitaph Records signed punk bands as early influences. With its current single Reaction, off Collections, charting at No. 19 in Canada (Mediabase Alt Rock) as well as reaching the top spot on Victoria and Edmonton alternative rock stations, the band is also about to see Collections released in the U.K. on the Fierce Panda label. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had six years to build the band from the ground up, and things are now really happening,â&#x20AC;? said Kalesnikoff, adding the band went to the U.K. in March, and are planning to go back once the album is released there. Selected by Music BC as one of the Top 20 bands in B.C. for the Peak Performance Project, Acres of Lions have toured the country five times, including festival performances at EdgeFest, Canadian Music Week, Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Keloha Music Festival, Breakout West, and JunoFest. They have also supported Canadian bands such as Ten Second Epic, Said The Whale, Shad, Hey Rosetta, The Reason, and Hedley. Acres of Lions will relate their experiences through music when they play at JobFest 2012 Tuesday from 2 to 8 p.m. at Polson Park. Visitors will receive JobFest giveaways, such as T-shirts, DVDs, and other JobFest related gear as souvenirs of this fun and unique event. For more information on JobFest, visit www.jobfest2012.ca
3PARKLING (ILL TO COME ALIVE WITH The Sound of Music Morning Star Staff
Those who have wanted to sing The Hills Are Alive atop the Alps, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the means to fly to Austria, need not look farther than Sparkling Hill Wellness Resort. The resort is presenting the universally loved musical The Sound of Music at the
Vernon Performing Arts Centre Dec. 7 and 8 as well as for a special presentation at its Swarovski crystal-infused resort above Predator Ridge on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve. Produced by local soprano and Valley Vocal Arts Studio owner Melina Moore, the presentation will include accompaniment by The
Sound of Music Orchestra, conducted by the Okanagan Symphonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rosemary Thomson, and is part of a week-long arts and culture festival at Sparkling Hill at the end of November. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The week will culminate in our production of The Sound of Music, to which (Sparking Hill) guests will be shuttled from
the resort,â&#x20AC;? said Moore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is going to be an in-concert production (meaning no sets), with professional orchestra. We have an absolutely top-notch production team, and this will be a first for the Okanagan, myself, Sparkling Hill and Valley Vocal Arts.â&#x20AC;?

Power shines on new album Cat Power: Sun
E
verybody’s favourite tortured artist, singer/ songwriter/musician Cat Power mixes the dark and the light beautifully on her ninth album, Sun. Power, or Chan Marshall in Dean Gordon-Smith civilian guise, adds sonic weight to her usually stark songs by adding the edge of electronica. Synths, pads and the odd loop deepen and expand Marshall’s songs without altering their core. Her compositions are straightforward and always scarily effective.
STREET SOUNDS
On Sun (title track), the song is given a futuristic Bowie-like wash that gives Marshall’s dusky voice (an instrument of shifting moods) an effect like a priestess in a temple. The strongest track, Ruin, runs on a looped Latin piano riff that tirelessly builds as it underscores Marshall’s views on complacency and materialism: “Bitchin’ and complainin’/While so many people ain’t got s#*t to eat.” Several songs feature the same hypnotic drive and chordal patterns. 3, 6, 9 has an old R&B piano figure that Marshall commands from the distance like a singing preacher reciting effective passages. More sketches on the dark/ light theme are to follow on Sun. Manhattan delivers more of
Marshall’s looped piano progressions, this one being one of her most luminous pieces of music to date. Her vocal shines darkly, making a memorable kind of unintentional mini-epic. Nothing But Time follows the same path and pulls Iggy Pop along to make a cameo. Her blunt and sensitive views of human nature and material society are mixed as political commentary and moral incentive in Silent Machine and Human Being. They thrum along in a science fiction groove and Marshall pitches her husky voice higher on Silent Machine as a dark lament. Sun is an easily attractive record from a musician who always brings some heavy ideas, this time as she shifts into a natural electro soundscape.
Gallery hosts juried and invitational print exhibit Morning Star Staff
The Lake Country Art Gallery is calling for Okanagan-based print artists to submit to an upcoming exhibition called Paper Exchanges. “This is a show about printmaking; about how works on paper, such as prints, are so economical to send and exhibit around the world, thus facilitating an even greater exchange of ideas and artistic prac-
tices over even greater distances,” said gallery curator Katie Brennan. Artists can submit up to three images of their own printed works along with images from up to three international artists (arranged in order of priority) whose work they would like to see in real life. A three-person jury will adjudicate the submissions and select participants for this exhi-
bition. The jurors for the exhibition will be Brennan, Briar Craig, associate professor at UBCO, and Mary Smith McCullouch, professor emeritus at UBCO. “Selections will be based on the quality of the work submitted as well as the quality of the works made by the artist(s) you would like to invite to participate,” said Brennan. Once selections have
been made, the Lake Country Art Gallery will contact the international artists and invite them to submit works for this exhibition. More information can be obtained by calling the gallery at 250-766-1299 or visit lakecountryartgallery.ca.

Housekeeping for Homeowners. Like most British Columbians, your home is likely your most precious investment, but keeping it protected with simple home maintenance often falls behind a busy lifestyle and other priorities. Yet basic home maintenance does not require a lot of specialized skills or know-how, is very cost effective and an excellent approach to protection against an unexpected crisis and costs. Here we share some important tips to keep your home and family safe. t Prevent the possibility of a fire hazard by keeping the dryer vent clean. Clean the lint filter every time you run your dryer and once a year slide the vent out and remove any lint build up. t Run an energy efficient furnace by replacing filters at least every three months, especially for proper operation over winter. Dirty filters block airflow, lowering air quality and making it potentially dangerous to your family’s health. They also cause furnaces to work overtime, increasing energy bills and eventually to overheat, burn out and be replaced. t Prevent mold by monitoring your home for condensation. Too much moisture indoors eventually poses a health risk, and left untreated will rot woodwork. Examine your windows, checking for cracks or breaks in the seals that can easily be fixed.
HOME INSURANCE WITH
DIANE MARSHALL
t Guard against water damage by looking for signs of dripping and corrosion on exposed pipes around toilets, sinks and appliances. Leaking fixtures can often be fixed with simple replacement parts like O-rings, cartridges or flappers for leaky toilets. Leaks are easy to miss, but early repair avoids costly water damage. t Make sure your gutters are clean and water run-off is unobstructed. At least once a year physically remove debris and build-up from your gutters and ensure your downpipes are clear. Blocked gutters and pipes can force water to back up and soak into the roof, walls, and even the foundation. Basic upkeep of your home protects your investment and safeguards your family. And it’s easy enough to do yourself with an idea of what to look for and why. If you want to learn more about BCAA Home Insurance and how you can protect your home and valuables, contact a BCAA Insurance Specialist who will be happy to assist you.

T
hree brothers, Forrest (Tom Hardy), Henry (Jason Clarke) and Jack (Shia LaBeouf), are Virginia moonshiners in the year 1931. By way of having family members survive harrowing events during the First World Taylor & Howe War, they become legendary in their parts as men who can’t be killed. Chicago gangsters (led by Gary Oldman) and a somehow corrupt and simultaneously over-zealous cop, Charlie Rakes (Guy Pearce), want to test that theory as the boys have no intention of running booze “the new way.” We say, “Watch it if you want to see a boozy bit of American history.” HOWE: I enjoyed Lawless. Based on the true story of the Bondurant brothers, director John Hillcoat gives us a great insight and feel to how life was back in the early ‘30s: dirty, grubby and tough. You either stood up for what you believed in (even if it wasn’t within the limits of the law) or you got your backside kicked. TAYLOR: I liked it too. It has action, suspense, drama and comedy. There was even a little romance. (Bootleggers need love too.) The cast was effective.
REEL REVIEWS
RICHARD FOREMAN, JR./THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY
British actor Tom Hardy plays bootlegging brother Forrest Bondurant in Lawless. Little Shia LaBeouf is good. (It’s nice to see him in a movie that isn’t stupid.) Of course, you’re never gonna hear me complain about Gary Oldman, nor Jessica Chastain (The Help, Take Shelter). However, I think in this film, it’s Tom Hardy that proves his worth. HOWE: Don’t go knocking little Shia. It isn’t his fault that the roles that he has had in the past have been pretty naff. He was great in the TV show Even Stevens. TAYLOR: I first noticed Hardy in Bronson, which is a little known, and interesting, British film where he plays a habitually nasty prisoner.
Despite not noticing Hardy in Inception, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, or Sucker Punch, recent movie goers might remember him as masked baddy Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. This guy is a chameleon. I watched this entire movie thinking, “who is this guy,” only realizing at the end it was Tom Hardy, with a weird haircut and the croakiest whiskey drawl of all time. HOWE: I don’t really think you could single out one good performance by any one actor. I thought everyone pulled their own weight. But I did like that they cast Guy Pearce in the roll of the crazy, power hungry cop. It made a welcome change to
his nice guy image. TAYLOR: Guy Pearce deserves his kudos. I’ve never seen him in such a weird, creepy light. All the performances were great, but only Hardy was amazing. If the standard by which we are to judge an actor’s skill is their ability to disappear inside a character, then I put Mr. Hardy at the top of his game... up there with the greats. I’m starting a fan club. –– Taylor gives Lawless 3.5 Mason jars out 5. –– Howe gives it 3.5 centre parting haircuts out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Mercury, Queen was, for the first time, able to include Hungary on its tour schedule. With three years to go before the fall of the Berlin Wall, this was the largest concert ever staged at the Népstadion, Budapest, and the first Western rock concert in a stadium behind the

Iron Curtain. It was of such significance to the Hungarian authorities and film industry that a group of the country’s top film cameramen and technicians were brought together to film it for posterity. Staged for 80,000 ecstatic fans, the concert set includes favourite hits like Bohemian Rhapsody, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, I Want To Break Free and We Are The Champions. The film opens with a special 25 minute documentary that follows Queen from just after their historic showstealing performance at Live Aid on July 2, 1985, through the following year leading up to the concert in Budapest. Using archive footage from rehearsals and interviews with the band on the road – some of
which has never been seen before – this fascinating intro feature has been specially created for the theatrical release. “We’re delighted that Queen fans across the world will finally have the chance to relive this amazing moment for the band. We knew a stadium concert in Budapest was groundbreaking, but hadn’t quite anticipated what a historic night it would turn out to be. The concert looks fantastic on the cinema screen in all its digitally re-mastered glory and the documentary does a great job of setting the scene – it really was an extraordinary time in the band’s history,” said Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor.

With a handbag that resembles a copy of The Hunger Games with a handle, and holidays that involve stocking up on literary-themed finger puppets, Stephanie Vollick loves her job as youth services librarian at the Vernon branch of the Okanagan Regional Library. “I’m always coming up with ideas wherever I am, from trips to Vancouver, to checking out Pinterest to see what other librarians are doing,” said Vollick, who has been busy planning fall activities at the library for kids of all ages. For kids ages 12 to 18, Artsy Teen begins Sept. 25 and runs Tuesdays at 3:30 p.m. Kids will have the opportunity to create crafts using a variety of unusual materials. “I got inspired by some of the books we have on crafts,” said Vollick. For the Love of Duct Tape uses that old handyman stand-by, while Manga Book Madness will take damaged manga books and recycling them into something else. “Friends of the Library has given us money for craft supplies, which is great,” said Vollick. “All of the crafts are related to books in some way.” Pre-registration is required for Artsy Teen, in person at the branch or online. Wii @ the Library invites teens to share their love of gaming. The game console will be hooked up to the big screen in the library meeting room, with four controllers provided so kids can have fun with everything from Disney Universe to Rayman Origins. “It’s amazing how much reading goes into a lot of the games, so I thought it was a good way to get reluctant readers into reading, and this will also get them socializing with kids they might not otherwise meet and get them comfortable with the library.” As well, board games such as Scrabble and Monopoly will be on hand as kids wait for one of the controllers, giving them another chance to improve their literacy skills while still having fun. “We have about 30 games and we’ll have occasional tournaments as well,” said Vollick, adding that the gaming system is thanks to Telus, which provided funding for technology at the library, from the big projector to the new self-checkout scanners. Vernon Teach and Learn donated the board games. Wii @ the Library begins Sept. 26 and runs Wednesdays from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. for ages eight to 12, and from 7 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. for ages 13 to 18. Registration is not required, just drop in for some fun. For kids eight to 12, the Animal Stories Book Club is just for them. With a variety of

Youth services librarian Stephanie Vollick looks over some of the selections for the MotherDaughter Book Club, just one of the many new programs starting this fall at the Vernon library. chapter books as the focus, including classics such as Watership Down, the group operates the same way as a book club for adults. “There are lots of themes for them to talk about, and we’ll look at different books, anything that interests the young kids but that are also thought-provoking.” The group meets Thursdays from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
“...I thought it was a good way to get reluctant readers into reading.” — Stephanie Vollick For older kids, ages 12 to 18, the Dystopian Book Club invites readers who enjoy books such as The Hunger Games to delve into others in the genre, including Delirium and Blood Red Road. “It’s making them think of what goes on in our world and while a few of the books I’ve selected have some romance, I’ve tried to pick those that will appeal to both boys and girls. “I’m the facilitator, so I’ll have some questions to think about if there is a lull in the conversation, but mostly I want them to talk amongst themselves, it’s not me giving a lecture.” And readers don’t have to commit to attending each week. “I don’t want them to feel pressured, so I won’t kick them out if they haven’t read the book.” Dystopian Book Club runs Thursdays at 7 p.m. and begins Sept. 27.
On Saturdays, Craft Time for ages eight to 12 will be centred around a particular book, with crafts ranging from dragon eye jewellery to book marks. “And one I think will be really popular is video game candy art, where you can make Zelda and Mario out of Skittles.” Craft Time runs Saturdays at 1 p.m. and pre-registration is required, either in person or online. And girls ages 11 to 14 are invited with their moms to the Mother Daughter Book Club, running Saturdays at 3 p.m. “We thought it would be a nice way to bring moms and daughters together, because sometimes there is a disconnect between the generations.” The club opens with The Motherdaughter Book Club and will include titles such as Pretty Little Liars. “I’ve tried to offer good variety and as with the other book club, participants don’t have to attend every week, but it’s a way for moms and daughters to bond and discuss more grown-up things.” The club meets Saturdays at 3 p.m.; registration is available online or in person. And as always, the library will have a full schedule of events for babies and toddlers, including Toddler Time Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., for ages one to three years. The fun includes books, fingerplays, circle songs, rhymes, flannels and more. This is a drop-in group. All groups are free to attend. For more information, to register or for a complete list of books on the reading club lists, call 250-542-7610 or see the website at www.orl. bc.ca/branches/vernon

ear Annie: My wife’s sister and her husband moved in with my mother-in-law 30 years ago. Mom was the sole caregiver until age limited her ability, and then government aid allowed for home assistance. Mom supported them while my brother-in-law spent every dime on alcohol and toys. When Mom died two years ago, my sister-in-law ended up in a nursing home. My brother-in-law is in bankruptcy and has done nothing to plan for his wife’s needs. My wife owns the house, although there is a lien on it from the state because of the Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar aid my sister-in-law received. My wife and I cannot manage the responsibility or expense of maintaining the home, and we’d like to sell it and pay back the state. Four months ago, we informed my brother-inlaw that we will be putting it up for sale. But he has not moved out. In fact, he says his lawyer told him he can drag it out for a year. As bad as my brother-in-law is, I still feel some compassion for him, although I do not feel we are responsible for him. His bad decisions and inability to plan are his own fault. I have held onto the letter informing him to vacate the house. I need help with licking the stamp so we can move on. — C. Dear C.: You can hire a lawyer to have your brother-in-law evicted more quickly, but it sounds as

if you are reluctant to do that. However, unless you are willing to let him stay indefinitely, you both are only postponing the inevitable. Talk to your brotherin-law calmly, and find out what his future plans are. Ask how you can help him move into more manageable accommodations. Suggest he contact AA (aa. org). Do as much as you can to ease your conscience, but understand that there is only so much you can do if your brother-in-law is unwilling to help himself. Dear Annie: I’d like to see my children wait until marriage before having sex, but I realize that probably will not happen. I want to be able to advise my children correctly, so here are my questions: What is the age of consent? And if two 15-year-olds are intimate and caught, are both punished the same? Under the current system, a 17-year-old boy could have consensual sex with his 15-year-old girlfriend and go to jail. The boy is branded for life as a sex offender. I think these laws are outdated and need to be modified. — Ellen in Florida Dear Ellen: The age of consent varies by state and falls somewhere between 16 and 18. You can find this information on the Internet simply by typing “age of consent by state” into your search engine. The punishment also varies by state and depends on the age of the older partner, the age of the younger partner, the number of years between them, etc. The underage partner is not punished, and if both kids are 15, neither is punished unless there was coercion. These laws were intended to protect children from predatory adults, although we agree that a distinction should be made for teenagers who have consensual sex with their boyfriends and girlfriends. Until then, however, please be sure your children understand the risks and urge them to be careful. Dear Annie: The letter from “Sad Wife” resonated with me. For years, my husband could not hold a decent job. I realized, after he was fired from his last job, that I didn’t believe in him. When he asked me, with tears in his eyes, whether I would divorce him, I decided to have complete faith. From that point forward, I truly believed he would be successful. I stayed positive, encouraging and kept him motivated. Within months, he had two amazing job offers. Now he has a great career, and our relationship is stronger than ever. Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you are right. — Proud Wife

While most high school students spend their summer vacations relaxing or working at their summer jobs, four Vernon students took a different approach. Seaton students Jeff Schmidt and Josh Phillips, both 16; Schmidt’s cousin Dillon Greuel, 18, from Laguna Niguel, Calif., and Vernon secondary student Sam Grenier, 16, decided to spend two weeks of their summer to volunteer in Chile as part of a United Planet Volunteer Quest, where they assisted Chilean English teachers in their elementary classrooms in a poor area of Santiago. At 8 a.m. each day, they arrived at the school, which was filled with children from Grades 1 to 8, and worked with five different teachers, rotating between the five different classrooms to

Dementia affects more than 70,000 people in British Columbia, but if nothing changes by 2038 — when today’s 19-yearold turns 45 — more than 177,000 British Columbians will be living with dementia. Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but there is hope. Teens and young adults connected with the Alzheimer Society of B.C. are joining together this month during World Alzheimer’s Month in an effort to show British Columbians that Alzheimer’s isn’t just “an old person’s disease,” it’s a cause that impacts everyone. “We need to raise awareness and help find a cure,” says Jessa Broeren from Victoria. The 13-year-old is one of many young people in B.C. who have been personally impacted by dementia, and are now leading the charge for a cure. She organized a fundraiser and gave a presentation at her school assembly
Schubert Centre Society 3505 30th Avenue, Vernon
Teens speak up about Alzheimer’s Morning Star Staff

this year to help educate her teachers and peers about Alzheimer’s, which her Oma was diagnosed with more than five years ago. “Everything you can do, even if it’s just raising money, gets us that much closer to a cure,” she says. British Columbians can join Jessa and other young people lending support to the campaign by visiting the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ AlzheimerBC to click, like and share to raise awareness. You can listen to and share the campaign anthem, I Will Remind You, by Canadian musicians Brian Asselin and Eric Disero, about the impact of dementia on younger generations in a family. Fans can read the stories of young people working with the society toward a world without Alzheimer’s and dementia, and will have an opportunity to share their personal story.
ANNUAL
GENERAL MEETING BIBLE BASICS
HEAVEN. The word heavens occurs 577 times in the King James Bible. Not once, not once, does the Bible say that anyone goes to heaven. The Apostle John wrote: “no man hath ascended up to heaven (except of course, Christ). 2 Cor. 5:14: “the love of Christ constraith us...if one died for all, then were all dead (appothnesko: be slain, killed). They were dead. Finished, gone. - not in heaven. For that matter, no one goes to hell - unless we understand and accept that hell is simply the grave.

STUDENTS OF THE MONTH
“I began selling Student 1st chocolates 6 months ago. The youth program has helped me with better communication, being more confident with people in face to face scenarios. It has also helped me gain a grade point in school because of my new math skills. Since starting I have enjoyed spending money as well as learning to manage money. It felt great buying gifts for my family last Christmas without asking help with cash. Having a new laptop is awesome and I believe it will enhance my learning in school. I am very grateful for the job skills I have aquired selling Student 1st chocolate and I feel that the experience gained here will help me in life. Thanks for the opportunity and I am very gratefull for the awesome new laptop. I think Gary has been a great role model for young people.”

Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Be a good listener, especially if you’re with a group of friends who are discussing some new topics. There’s a chance that what you learn can be used to your advantage. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Conditions in general should be quite favorable for you over the next couple of days, especially where your material interests are concerned. Do something meaningful. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Knowledge gained from personal experience is one of our greatest assets. If you’re stymied with something you’re doing or with someone you know, look into the past for answers. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Your commercial affairs are best conducted in a secretive atmosphere, with only the people involved present. Outsiders or kibitzers will only cause confusion and complications. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) If there is something pleasant you’d like to do, contact your closest friends first to see if any of them are interested in joining you. Hard feelings would result if you don’t. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Cozy up to a friend or family member who can help you advance a career objective. The ladder to success will be much steadier with this person’s cooperation.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Because you’re an exceptional organizer, take it upon yourself to help an associate who is fumbling with a situation that you’re familiar with. Share your knowledge, and everyone comes out ahead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’re the catalyst who can unite the family to take on a common mission. The changes your clan will be able to effect will bring greater harmony to the entire household. CANCER (June 21-July 22) It’s an excellent day to discuss a critical matter with your mate. Reaching a collective conclusion will be far better than any answer arrived at individually. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You should now be able to feel the effects of some influences that could be having a stabilizing effect on your family’s finances. The changes will be obvious and worthy of further development.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Shuswap Lake speedboat driver acquitted of charges MARTHA WICKETT
a vessel causing death and two counts of dangerous operation of a vessel causing bodily harm. The crash occurred the night of Aug. 1, 2008. Pattie Lynn McKenna, 24, one of three women and two men onboard the 30-foot Baja Outlaw inboard speed boat, died of injuries suffered in the collision. The judge ruled that while Kerr was negligent in his operation of the boat, the evidence did not prove beyond a reason-

A man who drove a speedboat into Copper Island, a crash which later resulted in the death of a passenger, has been found not guilty of two criminal charges. In a decision rendered Sept. 5 in BC Supreme Court in Kamloops, Justice Robert Powers found Todd Gordon Kerr, 39 at the time of the collision, not guilty of one count of dangerous operation of !

able doubt that he was criminally liable. He stated that if this was a provincial offence similar to careless driving, he would have been guilty of such an offence. Although Kerr was negligent by driving too fast in low visibility when he was not aware of the surroundings, the judge said the question he must answer under the law is â&#x20AC;&#x153;whether the dangerous manner of driving was the result of a marked departure
from the standard of care which a reasonable person would have exercised in the same circumstances.â&#x20AC;? Justice Powers concluded that while the case is â&#x20AC;&#x153;certainly close to the line..., given Mr. Kerrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evidence which was not seriously challenged about the thought process he entered into, and the evidence of Ms. Jankowski about his generally conscientious operation of the vessel, I find that I am left with a reasonable doubt...â&#x20AC;?

Blazers’ bid for suds in stands spills debate
MORNING STAR FILE PHOTO
The issue of drinking and driving is one concern raised with the recent application to serve liquor in the stands at hockey games.
ANDREA KLASSEN Kamloops This Week
Kamloops city council says beer-drinking Kamloops Blazers fans should have to do a bit of work to get a beverage during games. Council has opted to not endorse a liquorlicence application that would allow hawkers to sell beer and wine in the stands at Interior Savings Centre. City parks, recreation and cultural services director Byron McCorkell said the Western Hockey League club asked for the change to bring ISC in line with other WHL venues, many of which already sell beer in the stands. “They feel that hawking is part of the experience of the rink,” McCorkell said. However, several councillors were con— McCorkell cerned the hawkers would encourage hockey fans to drink too much and disrupt the family-friendly atmosphere at the rink. “I think to have it so readily available is to give a bad message to our children,” said Tina Lange. “I think for somebody to get up and burn off a few calories is not a bad thing.” Nancy Bepple said she sees the stands at ISC as a public space and believes asking fans to pass cups of beer down the rows to buyers isn’t fair to nondrinkers, who might be uncomfortable doing so. However, Pat Wallace and Ken Christian argued hawking is more efficient, removes some of the between-period pressure on ISC’s concession stands, and is probably less disruptive than fans going up and down to lounges. “I hate getting up. No criticism of our recreation facilities, but those seats are not wide,” Wallace said. “Inevitably, someone wants to get by to get a beer and they tramp on your feet and you have to stand up or they’re in your lap. “The discussion sort of takes us back to prohibition in some ways,” Christian added. “We already have drinking in the stands. Do you want to have Mr. Spillycups with his box of popcorn trying to walk in front of you or do you want someone with lids on the containers coming to you?” Nelly Dever pointed out similar sales practices in the NBA, NHL and NFL. “I don’t think we’re promoting and saying that you should drink if you come to a game,” she said. “I don’t drink and I’m not going to start to just because it’s right there.” Donovan Cavers countered by saying that, just because hawking goes on in larger venues, doesn’t mean it’s right for Kamloops. “I think we have a very nice, family-friendly arena,” he said. “And, our hockey team is in the WHL, not the NHL. It’s like comparing apples to peaches.” Only Dever, Wallace and Christian voted to endorse the application. Mayor Peter Milobar, who owns a liquor store, excused himself from the debate. Council doesn’t have the power to veto the liquor-licence application. However, its stance on the issue is one of the factors taken into account by the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch.
“They feel that hawking is part of the experience of the rink.”

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder PLAY THE RIGHT CARD; READ THAT CARD Winston Churchill said, “This report, by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read.” This column, by its very shortness, increases its chance of being read. But “read” also applies to the card played by East at the second trick and West’s ability to interpret it correctly. The auction proceeded along natural lines. Note that, because South denied four hearts when he rebid two spades, North might have rebid three hearts with a strong three-card suit, especially if he was hoping to get into three no-trump when South had a club
stopper. Three no-trump is the best game. Four spades, with three top losers in hearts and clubs, requires spades to break 3-3. West leads the club two, showing exactly a four-card suit. After East wins with his ace, what does he do next? It is clearly correct to return a club, and he leads the eight, the higher of a remaining doubleton. (If he had returned the three, he would have been showing that he started with two or four clubs.) West takes South’s 10 with his jack, but what does he do now? West must realize that South still has two clubs left, the queen and one other. To get two more club tricks, West must put East
on lead for another club play through South. This means that West should shift to a heart. (If East’s entry is the diamond king, he will get in early enough.) Then, East takes the trick with his ace and leads his last club, giving the defenders the first five tricks.

COOK,
PATRICIA BERYL (nee Finch)
Born July 21, 1942; passed away at Village by the Station in Penticton after a lengthy battle with Parkinson’s/ Lewy Body Dementia on Saturday, September 8, 2012. Patsy was the loving wife to the late Ken; devoted mother to Cindy (Laird) Rottacker, Allan (Joanne) DeLisle, Derrick (Joan) DeLisle, Christopher DeLisle; cherished grandmother to Bradley, Ryan, Asha, Cassie and Nolan; sister to Robert (Patti) Finch and Donna Kowalchuk, aunt to Brian, Carrie, Kevin, Clinton and Bobbie. She was predeceased by her son, Larry; her parents and brother, Ron. Patsy was a beautiful, kind, loving and generous person who will be forever missed not only by her immediate family, but also by her extended family throughout the Okanagan Valley and countless friends. Patsy’s creativity enabled her to teach art to countless people over the years and this passion was obvious to anyone who knew her. Patsy was a wonderful cook and loved entertaining family and friends. She also loved camping, fishing, gardening, decorating her home and her precious pets and chickens. In keeping with her style, in lieu of flowers, donations to the Parkinson Foundation, Good Samaritan Society or to a charity of your choice in her memory would be greatly appreciated. No service by request. The family would also like to convey thanks to all the nurses and staff of the Village by the Station for all their dedicated and supportive care of our mother and sister.

Butch (Ron)
Gompf Gompf, Ronald Sebastian passed away September 9, 2012 surrounded by his family. Butch was born in Hamiota, Manitoba July 7, 1952. He grew up on the family farm and from an early age had a love for fast vehicles and fun. Butch enjoyed traveling and after high school worked in Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, and California before settling down in B.C. It was in Kamloops where he met the Gruza-Rapley construction crew and pursued a career as a Journeyman Carpenter. After a motor vehicle accident in 2000, he retired and enjoyed the time spent with his son Sterling, riding his Harleys, gardening and gold panning. In November Butch would have celebrated his 25th A.A. birthday. Butch was one of the founding members (#3) of A.I.M.

He was predeceased by his parents, Katherine and Ron Gompf, Uncle Lorne and Aunt Jean Gompf. God grant me the serenity, To accept the things I cannot change; The courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference. A memorial service will be held at the Pleasant Valley Funeral Home, Vernon, British Columbia, on September 16, 2012 at 3 P.M. Before the service, a Viewing will be held from 12 noon until 2 P.M.
