Ironman bid gains support LISA VANDERVELDE/ MORNING STAR

Vernon opens arms to victims ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Public response to help the residents of five units from a Vernon townhouse displaced by a Sept. 13 fire has been phenomenal. The phone at Vernon Native Housing, which operates the Kikanee Estates complex on Heritage Drive where fire broke out shortly after 3 p.m. Sept. 13, destroying three units and damaging two others, has been ringing nonstop with people answering appeals to help the tenants. “It’s been fantastic,” said Vernon Native Housing spokesperson Karen Gerein of the North Okanagan’s response. “We’ve had lots of phone calls from people offering accommodation, or anything they can do to help. “There’s been lots of calls from church groups, service groups, the Salvation Army. We want to say thank you to the community at large for the concern. It’s encouraging for us and it’s hugely comforting for the tenants.” The five units were built to house people with disabilities. After the fire, residents of three of the five units went to live with family members.
“It’s hugely comforting for the tenants.” — Karen Gerein Two tenants were housed in a local hotel by Emergency Social Services for a period that extended beyond the mandated 72 hours, and after that, the Red Cross stepped up and offered a couple of more days of hotel living. Gerein said all of the displaced residents are contacted daily, and information about possible housing options are being passed along. “We are passing along names, phone numbers and description of units to the tenants,” she said. “We’re going out and looking, and trying to find something suitable for the short term or a longer term.” Two of the units will be released back to Vernon Native Housing after minimal smoke damage inside the units are addressed. Gerein said that should take about a month. The three units destroyed in the fire will be rebuilt and will take about nine months to a

year to have everything in place. All five of the units were insured, and Gerein believed that two of the five had renters insurance. The Upper Room Mission has been taking donations of household items for those affected by the fire, and the response there has also been significant, which has helped ease concerns from the tenants. “Because there’s been great support from the community at large, I think they’re feeling more calm about the situation,” said Gerein. “They’re realizing that everyone is there for them, and we are trying to assist them in finding accommodations and getting them back in their units. “The donations (at the Upper Room Mission) are great, and we want to say thank you. When they do find a place, they’ll have a place to sit.” Gerein praised the efforts of the Enderby Lions Club, Allan Brooks Nature Centre Society and the Salvation Army for help with household items. Vernon Fire Rescue Services continues to investigate the cause of the fire.

Thousands of athletes could be making a splash into Kalamalka Lake next year, if Vernon decides to submit a bid for Ironman. Coldstream (home to the lake which is identified as a potential swimming route for Ironman) has jumped on board with its support for the triathlon. “Kalamalka Lake is a preferred swimming route and all three options include Coldstream in it,” said Kim Flick, Vernon’s planning and building services manager. As part of its bid, Vernon has included three potential route options. The first option includes a Kal loop swim; transition at the Kalavista boat launch parking lot; bike around Wood Lake, to Predator Ridge and Swan Lake; transition at MacDonald Park then a run out to Kekuli Bay and ending at Polson Park. “These routes aren’t set in stone, they are the starting point for discussion,” said Flick. But Vernon politicians still must decide if they even want to host the event. Vernon council will make a decision on whether to submit a bid at special meeting Friday afternoon. Then it will be up to the World Triathlon Corporation (WTC), which owns the Ironman brand, to choose the next host community for the August 2013 event. That decision is expected to be announced Oct. 10 at Ironman in Kona, Hawaii. While Coldstream has lent Vernon its support behind a bid, it isn’t prepared to commit to assisting with costs and logistics for the event just yet. “Unfortunately I don’t think we have as much information as we need,” said Coun. Pat Cochrane, at a special meeting Monday. Mayor Jim Garlick added: “There’s a lot of unanswered questions that have to be worked out down the road.”

News Mischief sparks fires JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
A string of deliberate fire starts are keeping local firefighters busy. A grass fire which broke out near Davison Road (behind Davison Orchards) Saturday around 5:30 p.m. may have been small but it was no accident. “It was big enough to take 22 firefighters actioning the fire,� said Lawrie Skolrood, Vernon Fire Rescue deputy chief, as members of Vernon and Okanagan Landing were on scene. Despite dry conditions and limited access, crews managed to contain the blaze and douse it in just under an hour – while avoiding the need for forestry crews to be called in. “It had the potential but it didn’t get there,� said Skolrood. RCMP attended and located two young people in the area, believed to have allegedly started the fire. No charges have been laid at this time. Saturday’s grass fire was the second deliberate fire start that day. Firefighters were called to a car fire around 4 a.m. Saturday at Alexis Park Church. The vehicle was being used as a demolition car
by the church, but was lit on fire. Firefighters also doused a second vehicle fire, although not believed to be deliberate, Sunday afternoon on O’Keefe Road. The vehicle caught fire from a gas leak that was sparked when the owner started it. These fires are just the latest in several fires that have broken out in recent weeks. “It’s been really busy for the last three weeks,� said Skolrood. While accidental fires can’t be avoided, there is considerable concern over humancaused blazes. “This is very serious business,� said Skolrood, adding that those found responsible can be charged and held responsible for compensation. There is also the potential for fire starts to cause injury and even death. “It’s not something to fool with,� said Skolrood, noting several attempted fires started locally. These days, firefighters are able to address fires sooner thanks to the advent of technology and public assistance. “We’ve been very lucky with things like cell phones and cameras,� he said, adding that such devices also make it difficult for suspects to get away with mischief.

Firefighters tackle a small grass fire behind Davison Orchards Saturday.
Not everyone is a fan of hosting Ironman Continued from A1 Coun. Gyula Kiss is not in favour of sending a letter of support with Vernon’s bid. “I’m not sure if we have a budget for such an event,� said Kiss, noting all the staff time that would be needed to organize the event. And he isn’t the only one. Enderby politicians aren’t throwing their support behind Vernon just yet either. While Ironman is expected to generate an economic impact of $12 million per year, Coldstream Coun. Doug Dirk points out that most of that will benefit Vernon. “The lion’s share of the benefits goes to businesses that are not run in Coldstream.� Coldstream politicians had also hoped to have more details, particularly on the costs associated
with hosting Ironman. But those numbers are being kept confidential by City of Vernon staff. “It is our strong preference that those numbers be kept confidential,� said Flick, admitting that there are hard costs that go with hosting Ironman, but there are also many benefits, including a minimum $50,000 from WTC for non-profits assisting with Ironman and for community infrastructure. Since this is a competitive bid for Ironman, with neighbouring communities such as Kelowna also bidding, Flick says details of costs will only be released if Vernon decides to submit a bid and if it is successful. Vernon would absorb the marketing fees but staff contributions from involved communities would be required. Still, there are hesitations about the event,
VERNON KIA’S
including concerns about the toll such an event could have on local residents. “You would be closing Kal Road for a good portion of the day which would literally isolate a good portion of Coldstream residents,� said Cochrane. Flick says routes with the least impact on area residents would be chosen, as there is no intent to burden communities. If Vernon decides to submit its bid, city staff are confident that the assets of the area, including its beauty, will make it stand out as a preferred site for Ironman 2013 and into the future. “Without question, we have the ability to host an event like this,� said Jefferson, noting that WTC contacted Vernon directly, while other communities are submitting bids uninvited.

An education campaign aimed at improving boating safety in the North Okanagan-Shuswap is paying dividends. Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP reservists working the police boat report a very good year on the water in the region. “They achieved their goal of not having any boatingrelated deaths or injury in our area this summer,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The two officers found Gord Molendyk overall that boaters are getting much better with complying with the boating regulations, and credit that to a lot of education this year instead of charging the boaters. “Many boaters thanked them for being on the water and making things safer out there,” said Molendyk.

A total of 630 warnings were issued for noncompliance of regulations, and 12 boats were taken off lakes due to equipment issues (too many articles missing from the boat). More than 20 charges were laid over the summer. Twelve boaters were written up for having no licence; five were ticketed for not having a spotter while towing an individual; four people were charged after an underage person was caught operating a personal water craft, or Sea-Doo; and one boat was charged for not having enough life jackets. “All charges were laid under the Canada Shipping Act,” said Molendyk. “Again, the focus was on education instead of charging everyone. It is apparent the boat education/enforcement program is working.” Six boat operators were given roadside screening devices – it is an offence to operate a boat impaired by alcohol or drugs – and all six passed the tests.

Rollover leads to charges ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The car that rolled into a ditch off Bella Vista Road early Saturday was still there when Vernon RCMP arrived to investigate. The driver, however, wasn’t. Police were called shortly before 7 a.m. Saturday to a report of a 2007 Pontiac discovered in an alley off the 4200 block of Bella Vista Road. “The car had left the road, hit a guard rail and hit a fence,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord
Molendyk While the accident was reported shortly before 7, police believe it happened sometime between 2 and 4 a.m. The driver wasn’t at the scene, but a police investigation led to a 22-year-old Vernon man, who told police he borrowed the car from a friend. The man had an outstanding warrant for his arrest, and he’s also facing Motor Vehicle Actrelated charges in this accident. The car suffered significant damage.

The woman had been with a group of hikers when she fell. Because there’s no cell service in that area, one of the group went to a Cherryville restaurant to phone for help. The HETS crew (helicopter extraction team) from Penticton was brought in to assist the woman as there was nowhere for a local helicopter to land.

News Grant gives facelift to clubhouse ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The Lakers Clubhouse on Cummins Road in Okanagan Landing has become a mini version of the Vernon Rec Centre. Thanks to nearly $75,000 from a provincial government grant, along with funds from the city, the former pitch-and-putt golf course clubhouse has undergone some renovations inside that will allow Greater Vernon Recreation Services to offer more programs. “We’ve had lots of programs in here since we opened last May,” said Doug Ross, manager of recreation services. “We’ve had summer camps two years in a row, fitness classes, yoga classes, and we’ll have karate out here this year. “Dance classes are moving here with the new flooring, and there have been weddings, reunions, anniversaries, all kinds of community events.” Specifically, there are four aspects to the renovation. Approximately 250 square metres of new resilient flooring has already been put down, which, as Ross alluded to, will help with dance, yoga and fitness classes. Acoustic paneling and soundproofing inside the clubhouse will take place.

Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky (left) shares a laugh with Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster and Greater Vernon Recreation Services programmer Shayne Wright Tuesday as prep work begins on a new play structure for The Lakers Clubhouse in Okanagan Landing. Outside, a bike rack will be added to encourage people to cycle to the facility rather than drive, along with an outside play area that recreational programmer Shayne Wright was instrumental in researching and setting up. “In mid-October, the play structure will be delivered,” said Ross. “It’s a large climbing rock that can hold 10 kids on it at once. It’s modular so that further pieces can be added, and there are some ropes attached. It will fit in nicely with the natural area.”
Site work preparation for the climbing rock began Tuesday. It’s expected to be completed in November. The remainder of the former golf course is a protected area because of the presence of a protected toad species, and will be left as a natural area. Ross said there is talk of community gardens possibly moving further out on property, which would fit with the animals that have moved in. The total cost for the project is around $100,000, with $74,500 coming from a provincial community recreation programs grant.
The city will pay 20 per cent of the cost. Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster was joined by Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky in officially launching the play structure portion of the project. “This is a great addition to our facilities,” said Foster. “Not just for the people at this end of town but for everybody. The city is growing rapidly so it’s a great facility to use.” Recreation services took over the city-owned building two years ago and have been steadily renovating to house a number of its programs.
Cougar spotted near Landing ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan conservation officers were unsuccessful Tuesday in finding a cougar spotted near Okanagan Landing. First reports of the cougar came in at 9:42 a.m. from O’Keefe Road. “We attended there at about 9:45,” said conservation officer Brent Smith Tuesday afternoon. “Apparently the cat had been there for more than an hour and we just never got word of it. We missed it by 10 minutes. “We hunted the area and looked for the cat, and did some predator calling, trying to call it in, but we were unsuccessful with that.” Smith said that residents in the area had
been spoken to, advising them a cougar was in the area, and also spoke to the staff and student body at Ellison Elementary School. The principal at neighbouring Clarence Fulton Secondary was also alerted. Smith said Tuesday afternoon there were no further complaints, nor any reports or evidence
of domestic animals being killed by a cougar. “There’s a lot of green space around there and the best case scenario is that it went back up into the hills near The Rise, heads north and keeps going,” said Smith, who advised residents to call 1-877-952-7277 to report any cougar sighting immediately. Residents were also

encouraged to keep a closer watch on children and free-roaming pets for a few days. “The likelihood of there being an issue is extremely low, but it’s not zero,” said Smith.

Farmers Appreciation Week. “I would like to recognize the importance that farmers have to B.C.’s economy and to the health of everyone who lives here,” he wrote. “Farmers are the heart of B.C. food production, and nine out of 10 farms are family owned and operated. Almost 50 per cent of the food consumed in B.C. is produced right here in the province.” Letnick’s comments Richard Rolke come at the same time that North Okanagan farmers continue to struggle with provincial meat processing regulations. “We have farm families leaving the Okanagan and looking for work elsewhere,” said Rick Fairbairn, a rancher and Regional District of North Okanagan director for rural Lumby. It’s believed the number of local meat producers has gone from 1,200 to 300 since the rules came into place in 2007. Unable to slaughter and sell directly from the farm, many farmers are unwilling to send their meat off to a large processor. Not only is there a cost involved, but there is no control over processing (is it a specific farmer’s meat that is coming back?). There is also limited capacity at processing facilities. Demands for the province to issue class D and E licenses for on-farm slaughter have been consistently rebuked.

“Local farmers need action,” said Patrick Nicol, RDNO chairperson, in July. “They can’t turn down licences over and over. They (farmers) are hurting.” The regional district has lobbied Victoria consistently for changes, including meeting with Health Minister Michael de Jong in mid-July. “I think he finally gets it and he will huddle with his colleagues and try and find a solution,” said Fairbairn at the time. Things were looking good until Premier Christy Clark shuffled the cabinet chairs and bounced de Jong into finance. Now responsible for health is Margaret MacDiarmid, who previously went head-tohead with teachers as B.C.’s education minister. “It’s frustrating after all of the effort rallying ministers on various initiatives we’ve been working on,” said Fairbairn when asked about the new cabinet. Scheduled meetings with ministers at the upcoming Union of B.C. Municipalities convention were even thrown into flux. “It’s frustrating at this late hour to be realigning ourselves with ministers,” said Fairbairn. If there is one positive, according to Fairbairn, it’s the fact that Letnick is just a short trip down Highway 97. “It will be a lot easier to deal with the Ministry of Agriculture,” said Fairbairn. “The Ministry of Health is too complicated and he (Letnick) is supportive.” Given that Letnick publicly declared his support for farmers and the agricultural sector last week, let’s hope he is more proactive than his predecessors. And his first step should be to visit the North Okanagan and hear directly from local politicians as well as the farmers who have been impacted by his government’s policies.
Once again, an Okanagan community was 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. Charred stumps still visible on hillsides above the city are a mute testament to just how close it came. Then, in 2003, the Okanagan Mountain Park fire tore through neighbourhoods in the Upper Mission, earning a spot in the history books as the most significant interface wildfire event in B.C. history. That was followed by the Glenrosa fire that threatened to torch that West Kelowna neighbourhood, and the Terrace Mountain blaze that sent rural residents along the westside shores of Okanagan Lake fleeing for safety. And now it’s 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. 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.

Firefighting situation has evolved
I
n regards to recent media on the topic of fire protection for the Landing residents. First of all, Landing residents pay for and therefore are entitled to equal best possible protection. The population of the Landing has greatly increased in the 21 years that I have lived in the Landing. Substantial numbers of new residences make up new neighbourhoods in Adventure Bay, Canadian Lakeview, Outback, The Rise, The Strand, Seasons, seniors residences, condominiums, townhouses, businesses etc. etc. In my opinion the time has come for the Landing volunteer department to evolve, as all other volunteer departments have evolved before them, into a paid
SPEAKING UP As I watch the dedicated, hardworking members of the Okanagan Landing Fire Department come under constant attack I feel the need to speak up and point out some discrepancies with what the public is being told and what the actual truth is. Two of the main reasons that our city’s leadership is focusing on for their decision to force the Okanagan Landing Firefighters to join the Vernon Volunteer Firefighters under the control of the union-run city fire hall are training issues and cost savings. Please allow me to share some thoughts on these two issues. COST SAVINGS Within our membership we have professionals from many different walks of life that have spent over 30 years donating massive amounts of their time to keep the Okanagan Landing Fire Hall operating at a professional level. There is no way that it will be more cost effective to have city workers, paid by your tax dollars, do all the things that are currently done by volunteers that include but are not limited to: maintenance and upkeep on building, recruiting new members, handling requests from the public, training, purchasing, minor maintenance on apparatus, office management,
firehall. Public recognition and appreciation for the volunteer service provided in the past has been expressed many, many times.
janitorial duties, inventory tracking, event organizing. In addition to the numerous things mentioned above, the city pays the Vernon Volunteer Association $307 per member per year to help fund the association and support its various endeavors. With this money, the Vernon volunteers do various public events and charity functions. The Okanagan Landing volunteers do the same type of events but fund it completely on their own by donating 100 per cent of any monies earned from practice and fundraising efforts. Had all of our 28 members decided to join the Vernon Volunteers, it would have resulted in a cost of $8,569 per year for the taxpayers, with absolutely nothing extra gained from that added expense. If a city could operate a fire hall at a lower cost than volunteers, then wouldn’t every fire hall in North America be run by paid city staff? TRAINING To somehow think that this decision will result in the Landing Firefighters being better trained is more proof that some of our council members seem to be uneducated on this whole issue. I could fill an entire newspaper with all of our completed training certificates and qualifications but
I do not believe that this issue should be debated based on emotion, sentimentality and loyalty for the volunteer department. Should comparative research of fire
I will just point out that we would actually be doing less training if forced to operate under the Vernon model. Along with various online, weekend and extra unscheduled training, our members train or meet as an entire group every Tuesday, except one Tuesday off in December. This new model will have us come together as an entire group a maximum of three times per month. So aside from extra unscheduled training, we would be going from 51 scheduled training and meeting days, down to 36 under the Vernon model. How can you claim to be creating a higher trained unit by cutting training time by 30 per cent? I think we can all agree that this entire issue has been handled incredibly poorly by the people who were hired or elected to make these types of decisions. The fact that it was done clouded by a veil of secrecy and not discussed openly and honestly should cause great alarm and mistrust in our city’s leadership. In my opinion, this decision will ultimately result in much higher costs to the taxpayer and not much, if any, improvement to our fire and emergency services. Tim Sharp vice president Okanagan Landing Volunteer Firefighters Association
protection and first response in other same-size communities indicate that a paid firehall is in the best interest of community fire and first response needs then let's get on with it. This is a decision our elected civic leaders, in co-operation with the fire and first response professionals, need to address immediately. I believe we deserve and require a satellite paid firehall working as a "team" with the main firehall. I thank all the firefighters involved in suppressing the recent grass fire at the Rise which threatened my home and family, job well done quickly and efficiently with excellent communication between ourselves and firefighters. Susan Watt
QUESTIONS RAISED I can't believe that the city is seriously considering a bid to host the Ironman. Has anybody ever asked Penticton why, after 30 years, they are severing their relationship? Why is the Penticton mayor suggesting Vernon do their own due diligence? If this is such wonderful thing to have, why not let the Ironman organizers come to us, our city, and ask us how much we would require as a fee to permit them to come here to hold this event? Have we calculated the costs (all of them) versus the benefits to be derived? First, there is the fee ($75,000 and going up), then there is the policing, clean up, inconvenience with road closures, etc. The organizers are collecting an entrance fee of approximately $700-$800 per person for an estimated 2,500 participants or more. Let's do the math and we come up with $2,000,000. This doesn't include the spinoffs for all the Ironman logo T-shirts and other dust collectors being sold, all of which goes into their coffers. Let's charge them a fee for allowing them to come here.
Whenever there is a time limited deadline to buy a product (in this case the Ironman), one should become suspicious. It does not allow for due diligence and cool heads to make an informed decision. George Tribes

bers at ICBC have been without a contract for over two years. Approximately 1,600 members were on strike at claims-related locations across B.C. for one day. COPE represents 4,600 members at ICBC in total. ICBC workers haven’t received an increase in wages or benefits since 2009. Drivers have not seen substantial rate reductions in over five years. “Basically everyone who does business with ICBC – lawyers, doctors, body shops – has received pay increases, not to mention the staggering increases that went to management,” said Black. “When you add that to the $1.2 billion in dividends ICBC gave government, it makes it hard to argue there’s no way they can afford to lower rates for drivers or give employees a fair deal.” ICBC’s last offer was a two per cent wage increase over a fouryear contract. But Premier Christy Clark has initiated a net-zero mandate for unions.

The target goal for this year’s fundraising campaign is $1.5 million across the country. “Increased funding for services is essential to meet the needs of the growing numbers of Canadians living with dementia,” says Jean Blake, CEO of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. “Having access to services can make all the difference in the way families live with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.” Dementia is a significant health issue in Canada; the World Health Organization called it a “ticking time bomb” in its recent report, Dementia: A Public Health Priority. Dementia affects more than 500,000 Canadians today and will rise to 1.1 million by 2038. Although the causes are unknown, older Canadians are at an increased risk. After 65, the risk for dementia doubles every five years, and according to Statistics Canada, as much as 38.5 per cent of B.C.’s population will be 65 and older by 2031. Dementia’s steadily increasing numbers will also have a tremendous impact on B.C. caregivers who already spend 33.1 million hours per year caring for someone with dementia. “Support groups for caregivers will be in even greater demand,” adds Blake. “They’re a safe place for caregivers to talk, share and form friendships, giving them the confidence and strength to continue caring for family members at home longer. “But to keep these groups active, we need more funding. We’re encouraging British Columbians to get behind this Canada-wide Coffee Break appeal.” To register and start planning your Coffee Break event, visit www. coffeebreakbc.ca.

Speeding fees add up ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Being late for work is no excuse for excessive speeding. A local motorist found that out the hard way Monday morning. “One of our officers stopped a driver going 141 kilometres an hour in the 90 zone near Bailey Road on Highway 97 south of town,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “He said he was late for work. Well, he ended up being really late because he had his vehicle impounded.” If police catch a motorist going between 41 and 60 km/h over the posted speed limit anywhere, the fine is $368 and the vehicle is impounded. If it’s 61 km/h or more over the posted speed limit, the fine is $483 and the vehicle is impounded. Plus, the motorist must ante up for the towing charge and to get the
vehicle out of impound. Fines ranges from $138 to going more than 21 km/h to $196 for being between 21 and 40 km/h over the posted limit. If you are caught going between 21 and 40 km/h over the posted speed limit in a playground zone, the fine is $253. Members of the RCMP’s North Okanagan Traffic Services and Integrated Road Safety Unit continue to see high speeds on Highway 97 between Vernon and Kelowna. “One officer said over the weekend he encountered five drivers that were just two or three kilometers under from having their vehicles impounded for seven days,” said Molendyk. The police want to remind drivers they need to slow down as it is that time of year when motorists can start to encounter frost in certain areas in the morning hours.
Plane splashes into lake Morning Star Staff
An Alberta man suffered only minor injuries in a plane crash on Okanagan Lake Sunday. Lake Country RCMP report that at around 3:30 p.m., they received a report of a plane crash in the lake near Finch Road. “Apparently, a student pilot was practising takeoff and landing in the area when his Cessna 180 float plane suddenly flipped onto its back,” said RCMP spokesperson
Const. Kris Clark. It appears that a wing tip touching the water’s surface may have been a factor in the crash. The pilot was able to extricate himself from the plane and no one else was on board. The 26-year-old man from Airdrie only suffered minor injuries in the crash. The overturned aircraft was secured to a dock until it could be removed by a salvage company.
Spall crash results in charge ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A Motor Vehicle Act charge added insult to injury for a Lake Country woman following a motorcycle accident Saturday night in Spallumcheen. The 42-year-old woman was riding on Hullcar Road near Lansdowne Road when the motorcycle went off the road, into a ditch and down an embankment shortly after 6:30 p.m. Her husband, riding another motorcycle behind her, witnessed the crash and phoned emergency services personnel. “The woman suffered lacerations to her pelvic area,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.
She was charged because she was driv-
ing contrary to conditions.

Author writes of incredible journey through Africa Morning Star Staff
In 1970, British newlyweds Ross and Sara Dunn set off, with extraordinary naivety and a lack of proper preparation, to drive from Edinburgh to Chingola, Zambia in a standard sedan. Now an author, Sara Dunn, who is in Vernon Sept. 29, tells the story of their epic car journey in her new book Appointment in Zambia. Sara was 21 and couldn’t drive, and Ross was 23 when they drove their brand new golden sand coloured Hillman Hunter more than 20,000 kilometres through Africa via countries still marked with their colonial names. Only two strips of water interrupted the flow of land towards their destination, the English Channel and the Strait of Gibraltar. Apart from the car, their only technology was a compass. Their eight-week journey took them across 13 countries with widely different frontiers, customs, currencies and languages before they reached Chingola, where Ross was scheduled to start work at a copper mine. “We’d set off with £320 and on arrival in Chingola had £10 left. Of that £260 had been spent on petrol, ferry crossings and the car; and the other £50 spent on food, occasional accommodation and the odd cold beer,” said Dunn. The couple encountered enough adventure to last a lifetime. They crossed the Sahara desert, where they had to use Tupperware containers to dig themselves out of the soft sand, braved war-torn Biafra, navigated storm-wrecked roads through equatorial forests, and traversed the main tributary of the Congo River on a raft cobbled together with dug-out canoes by locals. “The car was five months old when we arrived in Zambia and was in a very sorry state. It was no longer the golden dream on wheels, but it was a tribute to the manufacturers that it made the journey at all. We had completed a route that we’d been warned would be impossible,” said Sara. “The enduring memory of rich but mainly poor who befriended and helped us on our way has never left us. We’d never have made it without them and this book was inspired by them all.” The Dunns, who stayed in Zambia for five years and had three daughters while there, have since lived in Nigeria, Zimbabwe and Kenya, where they became chiefs. Africa also has a habit of calling them back for holidays in its wilder places, but they are now based in Berkshire, U.K. and Cyprus. Locals can meet Sara Dunn when she signs copies of Appointment in Zambia at Coles bookstore in the Village Green Centre Sept. 29 between noon and 3 p.m. Part of the proceeds from book sales will go to UNICEF.

The Jazz Handles, Brian Pratt-Johnson, left, Steve Todd, Bill Lockie and Neil Fraser, perform the second concert of the season at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday.
Locals handle jazz with care North OkanaganShuswap musicians join forces DVOIRA YANOVSKY For The Morning Star
The Vernon Jazz Club is thrilled to feature a terrific lineup of local jazz masters, The Jazz Handles, featuring Vernon’s Neil Fraser and Steve Todd, at the club Saturday night. Jazz Handles’ musicians include Fraser on guitar, Todd on keyboards and vocals, bandleader Bill Lockie on standup bass and vocals, and Brian PrattJohnson on percussion and vocals. With a rich history of performing together over the years, these seasoned musicians united to create Jazz Handles. Together now for over four months, the band recently played at Predator Ridge and Lorenzo’s Café. Performing a wide-ranging repertoire, Jazz Handles will be highlighting Latin, swing, and boogie-woogie tunes. Lockie will handle many of the vocals, including Jobim’s A Felicidade in its original Portuguese language. The band will also perform Sergio Mendes’ Mas Que Nada, Honeysuckle Rose, Do Nothin’ Till You Hear From Me, Cheek to Cheek,
and an original jazz waltz by Fraser. Lockie has been performing in the North Okanagan and Shuswap for the past 20 years. “I was drawn into the world of jazz because I like the improvisation and spontaneity of it,” he said. Lockie’s versatility is reflected in his many musical inspirations. “I’ve been influenced by all forms of music, including popular music, ‘60s rock and roll, early country, classical guitar, and of course jazz musicians such as bassists Ray Brown and Ron Carter.” Besides playing with Jazz Handles, Lockie gigs with gypsy jazz group Gadjology and a wide assortment of local musicians including Sandy Cameron, Don Ross, and Judy Rose. Lockie is in the process of recording some favourite swing and Latin tunes with Fraser. Since his last appearance at the VJC, Fraser has been busy playing with Lent Fraser Wall as well as the newly formed Jazz Handles. “I’m looking forward to entertaining the jazz club patrons with the diverse styles that each member of this quartet brings to the group,” he said. Like Fraser, who took up guitar at age 14, Todd’s interest in jazz began early. “My brother played an Oscar Peterson
record for me when I was eight years old and I was mesmerized,” said Todd. In the music profession for the past 38 years, Todd is equally adept performing live or in the recording studio, with countless gigs at home and abroad. He earned his first gold record performing on Sue Medley’s self-titled 1989 debut CD. Todd says his influences are “way too many to mention,” but counts Dave Brubeck, Stevie Wonder, Janis Joplin, Jethro Tull, Bill Evans, and Louis Jordan among the many. Todd is currently in the studio working on his latest solo CD. Pratt-Johnson has been living in the Shuswap for the past 22 years, keeping busy playing jazz and teaching high school. “Jazz Handles is a challenging and exciting group to be a part of and the audience should experience great upheaval,” he promised. Doors to Saturday’s show at the Vernon Jazz Club, 3000-31st St., open at 7:15 p.m. with the concert at 8 p.m. Vernon and area music fans will be pleased to learn that tickets for all shows at the club can now be purchased online at www.vernonjazzclub.ca as well as at the regular outlets, the Bean Scene and Bean to Cup. Cost is $20, with rebates to jazz society members available at the door.

Play follows not-so smooth criminals Harold Pinter’s The Dumb Waiter reunites teacher with former student Morning Star Staff
They started off as pupil and teacher and years later they are starring as hit men in the play The Dumb Waiter. Written by Nobel Prize winner Harold Pinter, the play is being presented by The Tragically Comic Players at The Hub Arts Collective Sept. 27 through 29. The Dumb Waiter features Lumby’s Phil Wagner, artistic director of Tragically Comic Players, and Ted Fox, who grew up in Lumby but currently resides in Vernon. Fox was one of Wagner’s drama and English students at Charles Bloom Secondary School back in 1996. “He graduated a long time ago and manages his father’s plumbing business now, but boy, can he still act,” said Wagner about Fox, who is also known locally as lead singer and guitarist with band New Clear Sound. This is not the first time the two men have staged Pinter’s play. Fox was the stage manager and Wagner the director when it was
presented at Charles Bloom back in the ‘90s. “(Lead actors) David Hornell and Nick Phillips won best actors at the drama festival in Kelowna at the time and were offered a spot at the Kelowna Fringe Festival in 1996. (We were) the only high school invited to the Fringe. Ever since then Ted has wanted to act in the play,” said Wagner. It was after running into Fox at one of his musical performances at The Hub that Wagner and he started reminiscing about The Dumb Waiter. They decided right then to remount it at The Hub. “The Hub only seats about 50 people, but it is a perfect venue for this off-beat classic. The black box theatre feel of The Hub lends itself to the negative space set design for this play wherein two hit men wait in a mysterious room (with a dumbwaiter) for their next assignment,” said Wagner. Written in 1957, The Dumb Waiter is in one act and follows the two hit men, Gus and Ben, as they await orders in a basement room from an

To pass the time, their banter ranges from Abbott and Costello “who’s on first” ridiculousness to silence-filled pauses. “(They) are ostensibly not too bright, but deal with the absurd mystery that presents itself to test them in their waiting room with an arduous struggle of profound intensity,” said Wagner. “The resulting comedy is subtle and menacing.” Besides Wagner and Fox, The Tragically Comic production features Rod MacDonald
Sex trafficking play hits close to home Morning Star Staff
She Has A Name, by award winning playwright Andrew Kooman, is playing in Kelowna this week. Starring B.C. actors Evelyn Chew, who appeared in Caravan Farm Theatre’s 2010 summer production Everyone, and Carl Kennedy, She Has A Name bares chilling truths about human trafficking in the sex trade. The fast-moving, episodic play features a Canadian lawyer working undercover to expose a human trafficking ring based in Thailand. To win his case, Jason (Kennedy) must convince his key witness, a young prostitute known only as Number 18 (Chew), to risk her life and testify. In partnership with Raise Their Voice, Burnt Thicket Theatre has presented She Has A Name in 13 cities and seven provinces across Canada. “She Has a Name is a powerful piece of theatre that both thrilled and inspired audiences during our successful world premiere,” said director Stephen Waldschmidt. “We look forward to bringing this timely story to thousands more Canadians from

Halifax to Victoria.” “The play will open the eyes of Canadians to the reality that there are millions of innocent victims in the world today who live in these brutal conditions,” added Mark Wollenberg, the Western Canadian representative of International Justice Mission Canada, an agency that works overseas to secure justice for victims of human trafficking. “But more importantly, we hope that it will open the hearts of those who attend to become engaged in bringing an end to human trafficking. This play brings the nameless victims of trafficking into our western world and makes them all too close and too real to ever forget. Canadians must see this play.” She Has a Name continues tonight through to Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the Mary Irwin Theatre in Kelowna’s Rotary Centre for the Arts. An audience talkback panel of human right experts will take place immediately after the show tonight. For tickets, visit shehasaname.net or call 250-717-5304.

Suzy and Sam (Kara Hayward and Jared Gilman) scout out their fabled Moonrise Kingdom in the film of the same name by director Wes Anderson.

The
passage of innocence and the disturbing possibility of maturity. Their escape triggers a humorously hapless search party compromised of Suzy’s parents, the chief of police (Bruce Willis), and the Khaki Scouts, led by the troop leader (Edward Norton). Heightening the dramatic absurdity of the situation is a violent storm on course for New Penzance, accompanied by the exuberant march of Benjamin Britten’s Noye’s Fludde. Tilda Swinton plays “Social Services” in a somewhat robotic manner. She’s involved because Sam is an orphan. Some critics have drawn parallels to Moonrise Kingdom with Shakespeare’s The Tempest, and there is definitely a magical feel to much of the movie. At one point in their idyll, Sam asks Suzy what she wants to be when she grows up. She answers: “go on adventures.” For those of us who still look for that in our lives, this film will delight. Moonrise Kingdom screens at the Vernon Towne Cinema Monday at 5:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are $7, available at the door and one week prior at the theatre and the Bean Scene.

The opening night selection at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Moonrise Kingdom has been a great success wherever it has been shown. See for yourself when the Vernon Film Society shows the feature at the Vernon Towne Cinema Monday. Directed by Wes Anderson (Royal Tenenbaums, Fantastic Mr. Fox), it features his unique brand of quirky humour, an iconic soundtrack, and his distinct, visual style. The story takes place on the fictional New England island of New Penzance in 1965 and follows two love struck 12-year-olds, Sam and Suzy, who are both dealing with difficult situations in their lives. Suzy has two older parents (Frances McDormand and Bill Murray), who are drifting apart, and Sam is an orphan and also an outcast in his Khaki Scout troop. They have been pen pals for a year and have decided to run away together. Sam has come prepared with maps for their trek and Suzy brings her record player and spare batteries. They follow an old trail to a secluded cove, which they name Moonrise Kingdom. Here they sit by side and look out over the water, where they regard the

Bev Edwards-Sawatzky, second from right, with knitters in Bolivian market choosing buttons for the sweaters. The Minkha Sweater Open House and Sale takes place Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m at the Winfield United Church.
Sweaters mix fashion and fundraising CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
The Minkha Hand-knit Bolivian Sweater Sale returns Saturday with a variety of garments which directly benefit women in Bolivia and their families. “These women were brought together by Save the Children Canada as they and their children were living in very precarious conditions. They have now established a cooperative and have developed an amazingly high level of knitting expertise,” said Bev Edwards-Sawatzky, one of the volunteers who organizes the sales, which also take place in Edmonton twice a year. “People have seen people wearing the sweaters and asked where they got them and wanted another sale so we have orga-
nized it. All the money raised goes directly to the women. The project has been going for 20 years now and the children have been able to go to school. Two years ago, the first doctor graduated. One young woman has become a dentist and several are studying to be teachers. The children see their mothers working together, creating their own micro business and the children know that anything is possible for them to aspire to.” The knitters are delighted with how the cooperative has changed their lives. “We are really happy because all my family and I can buy the things for us. For example, food for my two children and materials for school. I could start building my house. I know it is very small but
it is something better than nothing,” said Yola Nina Leon, a knitter in the cooperative, while Alcida Callejas Quevedo, president of the cooperative said, “We are very thankful for the volunteers in Canada. Without their help, we couldn’t improve our situation.” The sweaters, vests, scarves, hats and ponchos for women, men and children are made of alpaca wool and pima cotton in traditional and contemporary designs. British designer Kaffe Fasset has given permission for some of his knitting designs to be used. The sale takes place Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Winfield United Church. For more information or to place custom orders, see www.minkhasweaters.com.
Adam Jones presents an inside look at Iran Morning Star Staff
Covering more than 7,000 kilometeres in 27 days, Adam Jones’ tour of the Islamic Republic of Iran took him to most of the country’s major cities as well as to remote rural areas of Iranian Azerbaijan and Kurdistan. Jones presents “Inside Iran,” Friday, where he will discuss the present-day politics, society and geography of Iran in a scholarship fundraiser sponsored by the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW). Jones, an associate professor of political science at the University of British Columbia who specializes in Middle East politics, was determined to see this large and diverse country from the inside. During his 27-day tour by private car in June 2012, Jones’ journey took him from
tea with nomads, to a drive-by of an Iranian nuclear research facility, offering a unique opportunity to see how Iranians live and love under sweeping theocratic restrictions; how the economy is functioning (even thriving) amidst pervasive sanctions; and how the rare foreign visitor is received in one of the world’s most ancient and enduring civilizations. A widely-published photojournalist who has published one previous volume of travel photography, Jones will also present and discuss a selection of the many hundreds of eye-catching photographs he has posted from the trip (see www.flickr.com/photos/ adam_jones/sets/72157630249401766/ for complete gallery). Jones, who has published 15 soleauthored or edited books, began early in his Iran travels to keep a detailed diary of
his experiences. Combined with 200 photos from the trip, the text forms the basis of In Iran, a book to be published in 2013 by The Key Publishing Co. in Toronto. Jones’ lecture takes place Friday at 7 p.m. in the Lecture Theatre of the Kalamalka (Vernon) Campus of Okanagan College. Reflecting the CFUW’s sponsorship, the place of women in Iranian life — a subject of much controversy and misunderstanding — will be a particular theme of Jones’s presentation. Tickets for Jones’ talk are $5 in advance at the Bean Scene cafe in Vernon, or $7 at the door. Students pay a discounted entry of $4, and a group rate is available for classes. For further information, please contact Becky at 250-542-1944 or Susan at 250-545-7753. Jones may be contacted at adamj_jones@hotmail.com.

ucchini is an immature fruit, the swollen ovary of the zucchini flower, and not, as most people think, a vegetable.

and will keep you craving it for days. If you like beans in your chili, garbanzos right out of the can are great in this. Blueberries and zucchini baked into little loaves are a perfect way to use up zucchini and to start freezing treats for school lunches during the colder months. This recipe is moist and freezes well. Blueberry Zucchini Bread 3 eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup vegetable oil 3 tsp. vanilla extract 2- 1/4 cups white sugar 2 cups shredded zucchini 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. baking soda 1 tbsp. cinnamon 1 pint fresh blueberries Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 4 mini-loaf pans. In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar. Fold in the zucchini. Beat in the flour, salt, baking
powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Gently fold in the blueberries. Transfer to the prepared mini-loaf pans. Bake 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the centre of a loaf comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes in pans, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely. Turkey Chili with Zucchini 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided 1- 1/2 pounds ground turkey 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix 1 tsp. ground coriander 1 tsp. dried oregano 1 tsp. chili pepper flakes (or chili spice) 2 tbsp. tomato paste 1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth 1 (7 ounce) can salsa (I use my own) 1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, or coarsely chopped tomatoes packed in purĂŠe 1 (7 ounce) can chopped green chili peppers
1 medium onion, finely chopped 1 green bell pepper, diced 3 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced 1 bunch green onions, chopped 1 cup sour cream 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Crumble turkey into the pot, stirring with a wooden spoon to break apart as much as possible. Season with taco seasoning mix, coriander, oregano, chili flakes (or chili spice) and tomato paste, and mix until meat is evenly coated with seasonings. Continue cooking, reducing heat if necessary, until turkey is well browned. Pour in beef broth, and simmer to reduce liquid slightly, about 5 minutes. Add salsa, tomatoes and green chilies, and continue cooking at a moderate
simmer for 10 minutes. Adjust the thickness at any time you feel necessary by adding water. While chili is still cooking, heat one tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion and green bell pepper, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent and bell pepper is lightly browned. Add onion and bell pepper to the chili, and continue cooking at a very low simmer. In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the zucchini to the chili, reduce heat, and continue cooking 15 minutes more. Again, adjust the consistency with water as needed. Ladle chili into serving bowls. Top with sour cream, green onion, and cheddar cheese, and serve.

There is less than a month left before the Dancing with the Vernon Stars celebrity dancers have to perform, and most of them have no dance experience at all. “Indicative of our wonderful community, these volunteers have put themselves out there, out of their comfort zone, to help raise money for the beloved North Okanagan Hospice Society,� said dance instructor and event organizer Lorna Robb, with Cheek to Cheek Dance Studio. “The theme this year is Believe and everyone involved has to really believe.� Richard Finn, from event sponsor Wayside, said he truly believes in trying new things, something that will push him to be a better person. “If I stay in my comfort zone then I’m really not challenging myself,� he said. Also on board to sponsor the Fifth Annual Dancing with the Vernon Stars is The Morning Star, Digital Dean Photography, Kiss FM, Crush Bistro, Harris Flowers, AE Berry Insurance, Naked Media, Advertising Works, Tolko Industries, and many other local businesses. Each year organizers try to include a dancer from the Hospice House itself. This year’s representative, Valerie Blundell, reflects that there are similarities
and what the Hospice House offers. “I believe in my abilities, giving and getting help, personal growth through facing challenges and setting goals,� she said. “Much like working here at Hospice House, preparing to dance has been an opportunity for me to identify and acknowledge my beliefs while working with some great people.� Show wizards Dave and Lorraine Brotsky and Rick Doling and their teams will bring lighting and sound expertise to enhance the dancers and The Legendary Lake Monsters dance band. “The participants are all amazing people that really have kept me excited and strong in my belief that what we put together for Dancing with the Vernon Stars really matters,� said Robb. “They have helped me overcome obstacles to this event. “With all this positive energy you can bet it will be a brilliant night.� In addition to Finn and Blundell (with partner Myles Ferryman), this year’s dancers are: Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky, doing the foxtrot with Robb; Coun. Brian Quiring and wife Dorothy; Annette Sharkey, Social Planning Council for the North Okanagan, and partner Cliff Lattery; Angie and Matt Tumlinson, The Sprouted Fig;
Darcy Sochan, Century 21; George Duffy, Vernon Chamber of Commerce, and wife Alanna; and Galina Labun, Vantage One Credit Union, and husband Daniel. Dancing with the Vernon Stars takes place Oct. 5 at the Vernon Recreation Complex auditorium. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the night starts with dance music by The Legendary Lake Monsters. The dance is followed by an opening dance number by the Cheek to Cheek formation team. Then the 10 dance competitors each perform a two-minute routine which the judges will score and comment on. The audience participation is very important and all ticket holders receive one free vote and are encouraged to purchase additional votes (for $5) to place in the voting box of their favourite dance team (all proceeds to the NOHS). For those who cannot make the actual event, votes can be purchased online prior to the event at www.nohs.ca or www. dwtvs.com or from the dancing celebrities themselves. The evening will end with the awards ceremony and more dance music. To purchase tickets go to the websites above, see your favourite dancing celebrity or contact Cheek to Cheek Dance Studio at 3401A-30 Ave., Vernon, or call 250-545-6539.

Tubers may be left in the ground after first frost
T
he Jerusalem artichokes I planted in the spring must have loved the rain of June and the summer heat. Some of them grew more than eight feet tall. Their nice small yellow flowers are a bright sight in the garden at this time when most of the blooms are now vanishing. We have been so lucky with this beautiful weather. Although the days are warm, the nights are cool and the growth is slowing down, and one of these nights we will have some frost. Since freezing doesn’t injure the tubers, they may be left in the ground indefinitely
after fall frosts, a fresh post. With the arrival supply being dug as of spring, tubers left in needed throughout the the ground should be off-season.

autumn and come in a vast range of colours and forms. They make excellent cut flowers. Somebody told me that he dips his flowers in warm water to bring in the house and it gets rid of earwigs, as they love dahlias. After the tops are killed by the first heavy frost, the clumps should be dug. Cut the tops off three or four inches above the ground level. Let the tubers ripen in the ground for about one week. When you are ready to lift them, loosen the soil all around and under the clumps so that it may be lifted without
breaking off any of the tubers. A tuber with a broken neck is useless for planting again and should be discarded. Let the clump dry in the sun and air for a few days. Place under cover for continued drying. There is no need to remove any adhering soil as this will help to keep the roots plump. In one of my books, it says to spread a twoinch layer of dry sand in the bottom of a box, place the roots on top and then fill with sand until at least three inches cover the clumps. Store the boxes in a cool, frost-proof cellar. Other people just store them in
peat moss. I store mine in open plastic bags in which I have put some peat moss, then lay the tubers in the bags and cover them with more peat moss. They are stored in large containers in the basement. I have to watch for early growth, as the basement is not that cold. The ones I grow in pots, I only cut the stems and
store them in their pots. So far so good. I was given a fig cutting last year. I overwintered it in a one-gallon pot and repotted it in June. Last week I had a taste of the first ripe fig. I hope the other three ripen soon. They are delicious. For more information: 250-558-4556.

Community Kitchens emphasizes local, healthy food MINDA CHITTENDEN Special to The Morning Star
C o m m u n i t y Kitchens of the North Okanagan started in 1991. It grew from just Vernon to Salmon Arm, Lumby, Cherryville, Armstrong, and Enderby. In the spring of 2012, due to popular demand, Falkland added Community Kitchens! The activity in each community
ebbs and flows but there is a steady need in each of these communities. The overall philosophy of the Community Kitchens is to eat local, healthy food on a minimal budget. We discuss budgeting and cheaper food substitutions to help people stretch their food dollar. We provide them with simple recipes to take home so that they can start their own
family recipe book of their favourite affordable healthy recipes. Lastly, many of our participants want to meet new people and get out of their homes. Community Kitchens is a great way to meet new people in the community and make new friends. This past year, Community Kitchens had to find new funding because Interior Health
pulled our funding. The community came to our aid with the United Way leading the way. The United Way increased its support and Valley First joined forces as well. Kalamalka Rotary Club, Vernon Retired Teachers’ Association and Blue Cross also added funding to keep the program going. It was rewarding to know what a difference this
program makes in the lives of our community members. For a complete list of Community Kitchens dates, call 250-307-0647 or e-mail vernoncommunitycooking@gmail. com Minda Chittenden is coordinator for Community Kitchens of the North Okanagan.
Seminar introduces ‘Love and Respect’ to couples Morning Star Staff
Gunnar Zimmer is on a mission to help men and women put an end to their misunderstanding of each other. Zimmer is facilitator of the Love and Respect seminar, a behavioral modification teaching program taking place over the next two weekends at Pleasant Valley Church of God, 6161 Pleasant Valley Rd. in Vernon. “This seminar can and will repair your relationships and assist in understanding the opposite sex whether in a marriage or just a friendship,” said Zimmer. “And it works — when you apply the seminar principles.” Love and Respect was developed by Dr. Emerson
Eggerichs, an internationally known public speaker on the topic of male-female relationships. Based on more than three decades of counseling as well as scientific and biblical research, Eggerichs and his wife Sarah developed the Love and Respect Conference which they present to live audiences around the country. Eggerichs has written several books, including the bestseller, Love and Respect. The seminar runs Friday from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.; Sept. 28, 29 and 30, same hours. The cost of the program is $65 per person, which covers the materials used. For more information, or to reserve your spot, please call Zimmer at 250-547-2281.

Community input sought on B.C.’s budget Morning Star Staff
North Okanaganites can have their say on B.C.’s budget Thursday. As part of Premier Clark’s commitment to open government, a public hearing about next year’s budget will be held in Vernon Thursday in the Schubert Centre banquet room from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. MLA Douglas Horne, Chair of the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services, is inviting interested taxpayers and stakeholders in Vernon to present their ideas on how to keep B.C.’s economy strong and what they want to see in B.C.’s budget. The input the committee receives will help determine what is included in the 2013/14 budget. “Our government wants to engage British Columbians and hear from them about what they want to see in their budget,” said Horne, MLA for Coquitlam-Burke Mountain. “British Columbia has been able to weather the global fiscal uncertainty better than most, and our government is committed to balancing
the budget and controlling spending. Statistics Canada reports B.C. leads the nation in job creation and I look forward to hearing from people on how we can continue this positive news.” Including the stop in Vernon, the bipartisan committee will visit 19 communities across B.C. and conduct a further three video conference sessions. In addition to attending and making a submission at the public hearing, residents, business operators and stakeholders can make written, audio or video submissions, and respond to an online survey through the committee’s website: www.leg.bc.ca/budgetconsultations/index.asp. Consultations will begin once the budget 2013 consultation paper is released by the Ministry of Finance. To register for a public hearing, contact the Parliamentary Committees Office by calling toll-free 1-877-428-8337, or by emailing: FinanceCommittee@leg.bc.ca. For more information on the work of the committee, including a list of committee members, visit the committee’s website at: www.leg.
bc.ca/budgetconsultations. The deadline for public input is Oct. 18. The committee will release its report by Nov. 15.

Ranch aims to raise funds for roof
QUARTZ OR GRANITE starting at
Morning Star Staff
O’Keefe Ranch needs help to raise the roof – the roof on the General Store. “I have started fundraising to put a new roof on the General Store, it being one of the main attractions at the ranch,” said Audrey Johnson, who has been a volunteer at the ranch for eight years. “The building is in good, sound shape except the roof is leaking badly. We have buckets all over when it rains.” She is concerned because the store contains many artifacts, including original items owned by the O’Keefe family. There will be a yard sale at the ranch Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Anyone who would like to donate items can call Glen at 250-542-7868 or Audrey at 250-5587764 to arrange pick up.

More kids in British Columbia will be able to participate in organized sports thanks to $400,000 in new funding from the provincial government. KidSport is a non-profit organization that works to eliminate the financial barriers that can keep kids 18 and under from participating in sport. The program enables youth to participate in a sport of their choice through confidential financial assistance. The funding will help KidSport assist more than 5,600 children and youth in British Columbia. Each grant averages $200 to $300. “The contribution that the ministry of community, sport and cultural development is making to KidSport assists us to ensure that more than 5,600 kids annually get to play a season of sport,” said
Saturday Sept. 22, 2012
Pete Quevillon, KidSport director. Parliamentary secretary for non-profit partnerships Gordon Hogg, on behalf of Bill Bennett, minister of community, sport and cultural development, made the announcement while taking part in KidSport’s annual fundraiser, the Corporate Kids Challenge, featuring an old-fashioned school sports day with participation by Olympians including Ryan Cochrane, Carol Huynh, Denny Morrison and Cindy Klassen. Since 2006-07, the B.C. government has invested more than $2.2 million in KidSport. KidSport was established in 1993 by Sport B.C. KidSport B.C. has expanded from fewer than 20 community chapters to 40, including a Vernon branch.

British Columbia’s Wildfire Management Branch is sending 103 personnel to help Washington fight several fires. Two agency representatives, four 20-person unit crews and 30 single resources, departed Monday for Omak, Washington. The request was made through the Northwest Compact Agreement, which allows for mutual resource-sharing between Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia. All associated costs are covered by the receiving jurisdiction. With the current and forecasted provincial fire situation, adequate resources remain in B.C. to respond appropriately to any activity. Crews can be deployed for up to 19 days, but can be recalled at any time. This is the sixth out-of-province deployment this year. Previous deployments have included sending resources to Manitoba, Quebec, Ontario, the Yukon, and Colorado.

Additional post for longtime college staffer Morning Star Staff
Charlotte Kushner is adding a new role to her 26-year relationship with Okanagan College – vice president of students. She has been appointed to the college’s executive team after a nation-wide recruitment search resulted in her successful candidacy as vice President, students. Kushner spent the past
year on leave from her regular position as director of continuing studies at Okanagan College and joined the college executive on an interim basis following Steve Koehle’s retirement from the position last summer. “It has been a privilege to work with Charlotte throughout many years at Okanagan College,” said
President Jim Hamilton. “Charlotte is a strong and capable leader who has a great ability to bring her colleagues together. Her depth of experience and knowledge of the institution is a tremendous asset and will be of great benefit to students as well as those who work here.” Throughout her 26 years with Okanagan College,
Kushner has held a number of positions and has experience working in both credit and non-credit program areas. She joined the college as a contract-training administrator for continuing education and subsequently moved into a management role for extension programming before moving into senior management in con-
tinuing studies. In addition to her regular duties at Okanagan College, Kushner has invested a great deal of her time in institution-wide committees and initiatives including education council, the joint union management committee and the library advisory committee, to name a few. “Okanagan College has
been such an important part of my career development and life,” said Kushner. “With every year and through the many different roles I have held I have learned so much. I am really looking forward to this position, as it provides new opportunities to be involved in contributing to the success of Okanagan College in the future.”

Pinnacles top Celtic in semis
FIELD DAY
Morning Star Staff
STEPHANIE DRYHURST PHOTO
Sorcha Thompson (left) of the North Okanagan Legends tries to regain possession from Zander Torres of Kelowna in Under 14 field lacrosse play Sunday at McDonald Park. Kelowna won 13-3. In other weekend field action, the U16 Legends thumped Kamloops 16-3, and the U12s drew Kelowna 5-5.
The underdog Vernon Celtic took regular-season champion Penticton Pinnacles FC to penalty kicks before falling 3-2 (1-1) Monday night at Parkinson Sport Fields in Kelowna. Penticton will meet Sturgeon Hall of Kelowna in the Okanagan Men’s 35+ Soccer League final next Monday night. The Celtic just missed out on the championship game after a tight and fast paced game. Only Chris Ovens and Jesse Knight – who both had outstanding games – found the net from the penalty spot. The Celtic surprisingly dominated most of the play in the first half and created the better chances to open the score. The second half was more even and just when it looked like none of the teams were able to find a breakthrough, Penticton managed to open the score on a questionable free kick just outside the 16 yard box. The goal was the interlude of a dramatic final 15 minutes. Celtic coach Kaj Tolpinrud added an extra striker and the move paid off right away when the confused Penticton defence could not get rid of the ball during a scramble. Eventually it was Chris Bader who managed to glide the ball into the net after a frantic effort. Soon after, Celtic keeper Ryan Sharp made a spectacular save when the ball seemed to be chipped over his head into the goal. While Penticton was already celebrating, Sharp sprinted back and made an unreal sliding stop to keep the ball out. On the other end, Kriss Yargeau’s shot under the crossbar was tipped just over by the fully outstretched Penticton keeper. More drama followed when Penticton was awarded a penalty kick in the dying minutes of regulation. The shooter missed and a shootout had to decide the game. Sharp came close on all of Penticton’s shootout attempts.

Clark comes up big as SilverBacks shade Vipers GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Vipers had chances aplenty, but showed very little finish from in close Saturday night at Wesbild Centre. When Vernon did get pucks on net, Salmon Arm SilverBack keeper Adam Clark put his 6-foot-5 frame to good use, recording 38 saves to backstop his team to a 3-2 overtime win. Josh Bowles buried the winner past Austin Smith off a
rebound 1:53 into 4-on-4 play in front of 1,700 B.C. Hockey League fans. “To get a win out of here is just really good for this group, but we’ve got so much further to go,” said newly hired SilverBack head coach Scott Robinson. “We don’t generate a lot of chances, but our goaltending has been excellent and kept us around in the game.” Added Clark, a 19-year-old Sherwood Park, Alta. product: “There’s not a much better feeling than coming into a barn
like this, with a great atmosphere, and taking two points. “That’s what you sign up for. You just want to get in there and give your team a chance every night.” The Vipers (1-1-0-2) leapt out to an early lead on a bizarre goal by rookie centre Michael Roberts, a Vernon native. On a faceoff to Clark’s right, Roberts and the Salmon Arm pivot chipped the puck up in the air, arcing it directly over Clark’s shoulder and into the back of the net at 3:39.

(20 saves) blocker side at 12:46. The ‘Backs went up 2-1 on a buzzer beater after Vernon failed to clear their zone. Jeff Kennedy snuck a low shot, just inside the post. Vernon power forward Aaron Hadley forced OT on a great solo effort. The 19-year-old Castlegar native wheeled up the left wing, cut across the middle and caught Clark going the wrong way for his third of the season, Pearce Eviston and Brett Corkey drew the assists at 13:02. Hadley was annoyed the Vipers let the game get away, especially when they generated so many shots. “We started with a good effort, but you’ve got to play a 60-minute game and we only played 50 and it cost us two points,” said Hadley. “The young guys will gain confidence as the season goes, but for right now we just need to bear down on our chances. We have to play every game like they’re a top team in the league and we did not do that tonight.” The Snakes have just one game this weekend, a Saturday-night encounter with the 1-3 Trail Smoke Eaters at Wesbild.

The Snakes had a couple scary moments in the opening period, the first when forward Colton Sparrow went down with a suspected leg injury, and needed help off the ice. Later on, defenceman Kevin Guiltinan took a hard hit in front of the penalty box and left the ice on rubber legs. Both players returned later in the period. Roberts nearly had his second goal on a wide open net, but clipped the post on a back-door feed from Brett Corkey with two minutes to play. It was one of many chances where Vernon head coach Jason Williamson felt his team should have converted. “I don’t think we were hungry enough to score goals,” said Williamson. “If you’re in the slot, you’ve got to bear down. Too many times we were just nonchalant there. “Their goalie was good, but we can’t let one player beat us. We’ve got to be going to the net and going to the net hard and making his job harder.” The 1-3 SilverBacks made the most of their limited chances in the second period. With Sparrow and Vernon d-man Geoff Crisfield serving minors, Salmon Arm went to work on the 5-on-3. Troy Petrick made a slick deflection from the hash marks on a point shot to beat Smith

Wolverines go on Bantam warpath Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Wolverines ambushed the host Meadow Ridge Knights 34-14 in Bantam football action Saturday in Maple Ridge. Brandon Melbourne, Jett Carey, Carson Deboer, Max Chapman and Jakob Laflamme owned the line of scrimmage, blowing huge holes in the Knights’ defence and allowing QB Ty Kitzman to pick the defence apart. All the Wolverine receivers – Zach Hyer, Brandon Isaac, Levi Nicholas and Trey Isaac – caught passes. Runningbacks Zac Kronbauer and Davron Polok had outstanding days. The Mad Dawg defence – linemen Laflamme, Darrien Broomfield, Josh Fry and Carson Deboer; linebackers Jonah Waterstreet, Carson Labrecque, Chapman and Nicholas; corners Isaac and Hunter Koopmans; and backs Bryce Sorensen and Kronbauer – played hard-nosed football, making just two mistakes to allow two scores. Said Wolverine head coach Doug Cook: “We won all three parts of the game: offence, defence and special teams. The players have come together and are now playing as a team. Even our newest players like Tyler Doroshuk are leaving it all out on the field.” The Wolverines host Abbotsford Saturday (1 p.m.) at Grahame Park. In Junior Bantam play, the Vernon Marauders bounced the Salmon Arm Broncos 30-0 Sunday at Grahame. Connor Manahan rushed for a touchdown and 202 yards on 15 carries to lead the offence. Zack Rogers scored two TDs and

The longest TD run was a 77-yarder by Tyler (Ducky) Sova, who also did a very good job of blocking at offensive tackle. “Our ability to move the ball was a direct result of the great blocking from our O-line (centre Tyler Riva, guards Kaiden Parton, Clayton Hamming, tackles Jackson Ponipal,
Noah Slimmon and tight end Isaac Olsen),” said Vernon head coach Ron Kirschner, adding wideouts Kieran Webster and Teylor Munger turned in solid games. Both QBs, Dylan Huber and Keegan Vicklund, were able to successfully read the defence. On defence, corners Jacob Zyri, Koalden Oakden, Brayden Bevans and Jayden Kiscielny along with ends Miles Forrest and
Reid (Pinball) Mackenzie kept the Broncos corralled. Sebastian Sanchez was the big gun with eight tackles, a fumble recovery and an interception. Linebacker Morgan Nichols was stellar with eight tackles. Tyler Braun had six tackles, as did end Josh Hyer, who also recorded two sacks. “Our perimeter and interior was rock solid today” said defensive coach Andy Stefansson, who was impressed with the play of defensive tackles Sam Knox, Ethan Ehman and Joe Bateman. Safety Garret Black Thomas also played a solid game. The Marauders entertain the Kelowna Dragons Sunday (3 p.m.) at Grahame Park. In Atom action, the Vernon Blue Bombers battled to a 0-0 tie with the Salmon Arm Mustangs Sunday. “As coaches, we all were very proud of the effort our kids made after losing to the Kelowna Lions last week 62-0; they didn’t let that bother them and came back and played really hard this game,” said Bomber head coach Guy McLean. The offensive line of Joey Mazzei, Tayber Mclean, Liam Gombrich, Rasheed Hashi, Noah Vacqueray, Gibson Vacqueray and Griffin Morrier enjoyed a superb showing. Ethan Mitchell had 32 yards passing and 61 yards rushing, while Kolby Thorpe added 36 yards rushing and Mekhi Mitchell had three receptions for 18 yards. The Vernon Magnums bowed 14-0 to the visiting Chilliwack Giants in Midget play Sunday at Grahame Park.

Accountants tax tiremen Continued from A29 In Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ League play, 12th-place Bosman Accounting knocked Big O Tire-Turn Key Ogopogos out of fifth place with a 3-2 upset at Marshall Field #5. South African Ian Murphy pulled the hat trick as Bosman won their fifth game of the season in a chippy, heated affair. Murphy and Henk Bosman worked a nifty give-and-go to put the accountants up 1-0 before speedy John Garner buried a low drive to corner of net as he broke in from a loose ball as Bosman players tended to an injured man. Minutes after striker Kevin Mitchell put a breakaway shot low and wide of keeper Yogi Kongsdorf, Murphy put Bosman up again when he nodded in a sweet free kick from the right side by Bob Fleming. Brad Conlin nailed the equalizer on a penalty kick past Pete (The Heat) Richter after Chris Nielsen was called for a hand ball off a free kick by Garner. Murphy headed in the late winner on a slow-moving passing play with Tom Ouchi taking the ball deep, turning and feeding Gerry Geelkerken, who fed a cheeky chip pass to Murphy, the Springbok Bar & Grill Man of the Match. Bosman finished at 5-17 and out of the top-eight playoffs, while Big O Tire ended up 12-10 and sixth. The Ogopogos will square off next Monday with the third-place Leko Precast Camels, 5-0 winners over host Salmon Arm McIsaac & Co. under the lights Monday. Chris Reeves and Zane Klym each scored twice for the Humpbacks (17-41), while Dave Dawson celebrated winning a new car in a drug store promotion by scoring the final goal. Dave Dutcher recorded the clean sheet. Vernon Square Liquor Store Silver Stars battled Lake Country to a scoreless draw at Marshall Field #1. Both playoff-bound teams played the game with no subs while referee Marty Stein handled the good-natured match well. Both keepers were up to the task stopping shots and quickly putting the ball back into play. In the first half, Rob Bauml came close when he rang one off the crossbar from 20 yards out. Two minutes later, Gary Saunders just missed

Braves brush back Knights
NEXT HOME GAME IS...
8111 Highland Place (North of Swan Lake)
Anything the North Okanagan Knights learned at practice last week seemed to be forgotten by the time their home opener rolled around Sunday afternoon. The Knights blew a two-goal lead, falling 3-2 to the Spokane Braves in front of 175 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League fans at Nor-Val Sports Centre. “We got one early and then just basically sat on it,” said Knights’ head coach Kris Mallette. “Guys got on their own page and started cheating. Anything we tried to instill in them the week leading up to it was thrown out the window.” Josh Klein, on a hard point shot, and Tanner Burns, dangling through the slot, supplied the North Okanagan offence in front of netminder Dustin Nikkel (25 saves). Mallette credited Colton Thibault and Matty Saharchuk for doing the grunt work down low before finding Klein on the point for his goal. Burns pulled an inside outside move, shooting off his back foot and finding the blocker side, post and in, for his snipe. Saharchuk and Nathan Browne earned assists. The 1-2 Braves, who spent 13 times with the man advantage, began their comeback late in the first period with a powerplay goal by Taylor Everhart, who beat Nikkel through a screen from the point. A single by Tyler Peltram had the score knotted 2-2 by the second intermission, and Austin Gabriel collected the winner on the powerplay 5:10 into the final frame. Both goals resulted from goal-mouth scrambles. “We were doing a lot of watching other than initiating anything,” said Mallette. The Knights appeared to tie it up late in the third period, but referee Ryan Dawson lost sight of the puck and waved the goal off. The Knights battle the Kamloops Storm in a home-and-home series this weekend, starting tonight at McArthur Island Sports Centre. The Storm blow into Nor-Val Saturday night.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You won’t want to let an associate undertake something that you know you can do better. Thus, should it become necessary for you to assert yourself, don’t hesitate to do so. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) It’s a mistake to depend too heavily on another’s help in order to fulfill an ambitious objective. If you can’t rustle up the support you need, make sure you have the resources to go it alone.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Watch out if you’re operating in close proximity to a strongwilled individual. Don’t let him or her push you around and make decisions for you that do not serve your best interest. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) The type of attitude you adopt will either make things more difficult or easier, depending upon which you choose. Don’t blow anything out of proportion. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Don’t take a chance on anything that could end in disaster if you make even a slight error. Even if the odds appear to be tilted in your favor, play it close to the vest. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Failing to find any productive expression for your mental and/ or physical energies could put you in an irritable mood. Try to avoid all insignificant or senseless involvements.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) There is someone within your peer group who has a facility for stirring things up. For harmony’s sake, it would be best not to identify too closely with this individual. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) In your attempt to gratify a personal interest, you should be careful not to alienate anybody in the process. If you’re perceived as being too self-serving, it could hurt your image. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) If your feelings override your intellect, you’re not likely to perform too well. Strive to evaluate critical conditions from a logical perspective rather than from an emotional one. ARIES (March 21-April 19) The control of a project that you’re closely identified with is about to shift. You’ll be much happier working under the new powers-that-be than you were with the previous.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder DELAY WINNING THE KEY TRICK Stand-up comedian Mitch Hedberg said, “My belt holds my pants up, but the belt loops hold my belt up. I don’t really know what’s happening down there.” Sometimes a defender will be aware that he has to make a holdup play, but he won’t know for how many rounds. Then it is incumbent on his partner to tell him by making a length signal in this suit. In today’s deal, how should the defenders play to defeat three no-trump after West leads fourth-highest from his longest and only just strongest, the spade three? Usually, with 4-3-3-3 distribution, responder just raises no-trump. However, that North hand has three
suits without a stopper. If South has a weak doubleton in any of them, it could well be fatal to no-trump. So using Stayman to try to find a 4-4 heart fit is reasonable, though far from clear-cut. South starts with six top tricks: one spade, two diamonds and three clubs. He must get at least two heart tricks, and perhaps he can win three if an opponent takes his ace too early. And since hoping for a 3-3 club break can wait, declarer should attack hearts as soon as he is in. At trick one, when declarer plays a low spade from the board, East must put in his 10. If South has only the spade queen, he is always getting one trick; and when South has the ace, East’s playing the
king would cost a trick. South takes the third spade and leads a heart to the queen. West must play his eight, starting a high-low (echo) to show his doubleton. East will then know to win the third heart trick. After that, as long as West stays glued to his four clubs, the contract will fail.

Thomas Vernon (Verne) Steele It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Thomas Vernon (Verne) Steele who passed away peacefully in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital on September 7th, 2012 with his loving family by his side. With grieving hearts we let him go to be with his Lord, finally free of pain. Verne will be lovingly remembered by his devoted wife; Laura to whom he was married for 35 years, his sons; Tom (Sue) and Greg, his daughter; Teri, their mother; Jinty Steele, 5 grandchildren; Lauren, Kristie, Cody, and Carli who are all attending post secondary institutions and thirteen year old Caleb, his sister; Phyllis (Gerald) Raboch, his nephew; Alex (Joan) Daye, his neice; Verna (Brian) Gordey along with extended family members and friends. Verne was preceded in death by his parents; George and Hilda Steele and by his oldest sister, Kay Daye. Verne was born in the Prince George Hospital on September 19th, 1939 and lived in Vanderhoof, B.C. until he was eight years old at which time the family moved to Kaslo, B.C. where they spent two years before moving to Enderby, B.C. where he graduated from A.L. Fortune High School. He took his post secondary education at S.A.I.T. in Calgary, Alberta and then moved to Princeton to work. Verne was a good athlete and enjoyed baseball, hockey and curling. He became a very good shot with a rifle and first hunted with his parents and then with his friends. Verne was a kind, loving man with a very sharp mind and had a great sense of humor. When Verne was twenty-eight and a half years old he received a spinal cord injury while playing hockey and has spent the rest of his life as a quadriplegic. He has still remained an avid hockey fan. Before he was confined to a bed, Laura used to drive them on short vacations to the coast and to other places in the interior. They enjoyed each other and had a great relationship. They both always said, “we” did or “we” fixed this, “we” planted the garden today. “We cooked” which always meant that Verne watched a cooking show on TV and when Laura came home from work she would cook and he would tell her from memory, word for word how to make the dish that he had just watched being made. Cremation preceded a Celebration of Verne’s Life which will be held at Grace Bible Church (5661 Silver Star Road, Vernon, B.C.) on Saturday, September 22nd, 2012 at 1:30 P.M. with Pastor Larry Woelke officiating. The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Chai, Dr. Yacyshyn and the wonderful ICU nursing staff for their care and love shown to Verne and his family. A special thank you to Dr. Lemiski for going above and beyond the call of duty for all of the house calls and support for so many years. It is very much appreciated. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Verne to the Vancouver Children’s Hospital 4480 Oak Street, Vancouver, B.C. V6H 3V4 or to the Upper Room Mission 3403 27th Avenue, Vernon, B.C. V1T 1S2. Funeral arrangements have been made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605 27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 (250) 542-1187

Q:
I visited my Mom over the summer and am concerned because she hardly eats anything. She doesn’t like the protein shakes and we have left lots of nutritious frozen meals to reheat. What more can I do?
A:
As we age, our desire to eat and drink lessens. Memory deficits, chronic illness, pain, loneliness, poorly fitting dentures and so forth can interfere with appetite and proper nutrition. Making well balanced meals becomes quite a process for the elderly and thus the cycle of eating less and feeling less interested in eating begins. If the above considerations have been addressed, you might consider bringing the “experience” of eating back to the home. The smell of homemade soup cooking, watching and conversing with her caregiver while the meal is being prepared and served are ways we find successful for nutrition improvement. Family and social gatherings revolve around food and mealtimes. When we bring some of that life back into the home, we see miracles happen. Love is in the details.

Q: A:
The average expected lifespan for a gas furnace is around 20-25 years. After that the failure rate goes up. If the furnace fails it could introduce carbon monoxide into your home, this can be lethal, and it is hard for a layperson to determine exactly when this is going to happen. Also as your furnace ages it does not work as efficiently as it did when it was younger. Older furnaces typically function around 50% efficiency, this means that half of your heating dollar is going up the chimney. Installing a new high efficiency furnace can save significantly in your heating bill plus ensure that you will be safe from furnace failure. Installation of a new furnace is not as expensive as some think, and there are government grants available to help offset the cost. For more information on grants ask your heating contractor or me.

Q:
I have received a Mortgage Renewal offer from my Banking Institution, but I want to see what my options may be with other Lenders before I sign the documents. Would you recommend that we have a “Mortgage Check Up’?
A:
Absolutely, there are many options available in the Mortgage Markets that you may not have known about. Many of our Lenders offer a “Mortgage Switch” program that will simply allow you to transfer your mortgage on qualification to another Lender. There may be some limitations in this process if your current Lender has a Generic Mortgage registered on your home, so it is always best to discuss your options with a professional who can assist with determining your eligibility for a Mortgage Switch. OAC /E&O accepted.

Q: A:
I am noticing in the media that wallpaper is coming back?
Yes it is and it is more dynamic than it has ever been in the past. Latest technology has allowed manufacturers to create papers to look authentic to what they are trying to represent: for example, stone, wood or brick. Patterns are bolder and larger and can transform a room. In the past whole rooms were done; now the trend is to make a feature wall be the focal point of the room. Paired with window coverings, you can create a magical room. We have an extensive selection of wall coverings to choose from grasscloth to modern.

Q: A:
My ears feel blocked from the inside. What is the best way for me to clear them?
Ears can be blocked in a number of ways. The external canal can be blocked and earwax or small foreign objects, such as Q-tips should never be put in the ear canal. Another type of blockage can occur in the middle ear, which is most often caused by an ear infection and fluid. In both cases, it is important to see your doctor who will diagnose the problem and prescribe the correct treatment.

Q: A:
What is a ‘Luck Pillar’?
In many ways it is a firm support, a helping hand, or a pillar to lean upon. You see, Luck Pillars are periods of time throughout your life, and they either support you or weaken you. When you see a person who seems to have it all: the right job, their true love and great health, they are probably in a favourable Luck Pillar. When a person is in an unfavorable Luck Pillar, many things can start to unravel, including health and wealth. So how do you know what Luck Pillar you are in? Work with a Chinese Astrologer and we can identify where you are now, where you are headed, and what you need to succeed. Remember, we talked about man luck last time, so you have the ability to alter your luck with good decisions. Be self aware, change with the times, and you can influence your very own Luck Pillar!

Nation and the B.C. government announced a land use agreement to develop another LNG export facility on the Douglas Channel near Kitimat. Two proposals in that area have already received federal export permits and financing from global energy players, including Chinese, Japanese and Korean companies. One of the bills jammed through by the B.C. Liberals in the hectic legislative session this spring was to do away with another of those federal-provincial overlaps that make industrial development so slow and difficult. Ottawa has sole authority to regulate reserve lands, but agreed to delegate that to B.C. and the Haisla, allowing them to pioneer the latest agreement. This is a major breakthrough, not just in the industrial development of northern B.C. but in dismantling the century-old logjam of aboriginal resource claims. At the centre of Premier Christy Clark’s much-promoted jobs plan is the target of having three LNG export terminals and associated pipelines in production by 2020. That now looks like a more realistic target. But the jobs and revenues won’t arrive in time to save the B.C. Liberals from their current predicament. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca
Province targets skills shortages Morning Star Staff

employers and the need for employer-focused and employer-developed resources to effectively attract, assess, integrate and retain immigrants in B.C. workplaces,” said Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training Pat Bell. “Employers have unique insights and understanding of the challenges in hiring, retaining and integrating newcomers into their workplaces. Engaging employers in the development of targeted initiatives, resources and tools will ensure their effectiveness in addressing immigrant employment and labour market challenges.” The Employer Innovation Fund for Immigrants will utilize up to $1.75 million. It will be made available between Sept. 17, 2012 and March 31, 2014. Given the forecast that over the next decade there will be over one million job openings due to an aging workforce and economic growth, B.C. will not be able to meet its labour market demands without new skilled immigrants. The IEC-BC understands the barriers that B.C. employers face in attracting, hiring and retaining immigrant talent as well as their connections with employers, business associations and other key stakeholders. This makes them uniquely positioned to lead this employer-focused initiative that will support the labour-market integration of new immigrants. “This is an exciting employer-focused initiative that will result in innovative and practice approaches that employers have told us they need to support the hiring and retention of skilled immigrants,” said Bob Elton, chair, Immigrant Employment Council of BC.
