Bird collision sparks Bailey Road blaze JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Firefighters managed to douse a grass fire off Bailey Road and keep it from spreading to a nearby home. The approximately two-and-ahalf hectare blaze, which broke out just before 1 p.m. Monday, was started from a bird hitting a hydro line. “We have confirmed that it was a bird that started the fire,” said Steve Olson, forest protection assistant. A bird striking a power line was also linked to a fire near the landfill in August. Forest Service crews, in their office just down the road, were on scene within record time Monday, followed by Vernon Fire Service crews. The fire broke out on the hillside just above a caretaker’s home in the seed orchard above Highway 97. Seed orchard manager Chris Walsh also rushed onto the scene to help hose down the caretaker’s property. Flames spread just inches onto the caretaker’s property, but the majority of damage was done up the grassy hill away from the home. “I thought it was a lot worse,” said Walsh, “but it looks like they have it under control.” For video and photo coverage of the fire visit www.vernonmorningstar.com

City positions Coldstream Hotel property for sale The City of Vernon hopes burying power lines will reignite development plans downtown. Funding will be sought from B.C. Hydro to put utilities underground on the city-owned Coldstream Hotel parking lot on 31st and 32nd avenues. “The works proposed on the Coldstream Hotel lot would promote development,” said Ed Stranks, engineering development manager,
in a report Monday. The total cost of placing the utilities underground is not known, but if the Hydro grant was received, the city would contribute $570,000. “It would be possible to get that money back from the sale of the property,” said Stranks. The city purchased the property in 2004 for about $2.8 million (that doesn’t include the Ed Stranks cost of demolishing structures at the time). The original plan was to con-

struct a cultural complex on the site but the city proposal eventually shifted to a residential/commercial development. Nothing has transpired and the lot is currently used for parking while city staff use a building on the site. City staff say that relocating the utility lines will increase the land available for development and increase its value by $1.43 million to $4.3 million. Some councillors want assurances they can reconsider the project once B.C. Hydro has determined if it is providing assistance. “A $570,000 item is a huge hit for tax-

payers and I would like the opportunity to discuss that without committing ourselves,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. Concern also came from Coun. Patrick Nicol. “I can’t imagine this is No. 1,” said Nicol of the city’s capital priorities. But the only opposition to seeking a grant from B.C. Hydro came from Coun. Bob Spiers. “It’s a beautification program and it should not have risen to the top of the barrel. We have more important infrastructure projects,” said Spiers.

News Food drive goes to extreme heights With his sleeping bag, reclining chair and all the necessities he could drag up, Jim Tennant is prepared to stick to his rooftop post as long as it takes. Tennant, store manager of Save On Foods, is camping out atop the store until 12,800 pounds of food is raised for the Salvation Army food bank. “I’ve been hauling stuff up there for days now,� said Tennant Monday, who has now already spent two nights on the roof, but is well equipped with a mini-fridge, table and chairs donated from Beachcomber, and more. Joined by Village Green Centre manager Scott Adam, marketing manager Kelly Kedrosky and David MacBain with the Salvation Army, the rooftop food drive is part of the Fare Fight for Food challenge. Bentall Kennedy Canada (which owns the Village Green Centre) has issued the challenge among its Canadawide malls. If the Village Green wins, by raising the most amount of food, Bentall Kennedy will give $10,000 to the Vernon food bank.
“That would give us a big boost as far as trying to fulfill the needs,� said MacBain, adding that such a grant might also allow for some additional programs. So far, the community has pitched in to the drive with more than 1,000 pounds of food and a few generous cash donations. One donation in particular stands out: even before the managers climbed the Vernon Fire Rescue ladder up to the roof, a man dropped two $50 bills in MacBain’s hand for the cause. This rooftop food drive is part of an ongoing food drive the Village Green has been part of through Bentall Kennedy. Vernon sits in third place for the amount of food raised. It is hoped this rooftop food drive will push the local shopping centre into first place. Therefore everyone is encouraged to come by and donate, and look up to give Tennant and his crew a wave. For more information about Bentall Kennedy’s Fare Fight For Food campaign, visit farefightforfood.ca. The public can also enter the online contest for a chance to win groceries for a year (a $3,000 value) and support their local food bank.

Alleged killer returns to court for hearing KATHY MICHAELS Black Press
Matthew Stephen Foerster will be looking to have at least one of his high profile trials moved away from Kelowna in the days ahead. The Cherryville man who is accused of a slate of crimes, including the Halloween 2011 murder of Armstrong teenager Taylor Van Diest, appeared in a Kelowna courtroom for the first time in months to deal with scheduling for upcoming appearances. Thinner, seemingly healthier and with shorter hair than when he was apprehended by police in Collingwood Ont. last April, Foerster stood
straight in the prisoner’s dock as upcoming court appearances were laid out for him. Foerster was told he’d be dealing with a bail hearing and an application to change the venue of his trials for a Cherryville and Kelowna matter, at the top of next month. In Kelowna, Foerster allegedly attacked a sextrade worker at the Garden of Eden Escort Agency in Kelowna in April 2005. From that he faces charges of sexual assault with a weapon and confinement. He’s also charged in connection with a home invasion in Cherryville in late 2004. In that case, Foerster is accused of wearing a mask when he
VERNON KIA’S
broke into a 19-year-old woman’s bedroom as she slept. He’s charged with assault causing bodily harm and unlawful confinement. The trial to deal with the Van Diest murder is being dealt with separately and will return to court Oct. 9. The 18-year-old was attacked Oct. 31, 2011 near an unlit section of railway tracks and later died in hospital of head injuries. A massive police hunt yielded the whereabouts of Foerster several months later. At that time, his father Stephen Roy Foerster was charged with obstruction and being an accessory to murder.

Missing woman located near Cherryville ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The search for a missing Lumby woman ended happily, thanks to a father-son hunting duo from Delta. The pair found Susan Gay Catt, 52, in a remote area near Ferry Creek Road near Cherryville late Monday evening.
Catt, who turned 52 on Friday, had been reported missing Saturday after she failed to show up for a scheduled meeting with her mom at 9 a.m. Police were concerned for Catt’s wellbeing, and issued an alert through local media outlets which
included a description of Catt and the car she was believed to have been driving. “The hunters had been in the Cherryville Emporium earlier in the day and read the missing person report that had been posted there,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.
“While out hunting on a forestry road, the son recognized the Pontiac Sunfire parked under a tree as the one on the public notification poster.” Molendyk said the two men approached the car to find Catt lying in the rear seat. She was extremely
incoherent and alone at the time the two found her. The two went to call for help immediately and Catt was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “The initial assessment is she will sur-
vive this ordeal,” said Molendyk. The police are continuing to follow up with this investigation, but they would like to thank all media outlets for their messaging to the public of the disappearance of Catt.
“It greatly assisted the father and son recognizing the vehicle and quickly contacting the police,” said Molendyk. “The quick action of the father and son being in the right place at the right time likely saved the woman’s life.”

A Vernon man will likely face drunk-driving charges after a spectacular collision on the Trans-Canada Highway, east of Kamloops, Sunday. Emergency crews were called to the west-bound lanes of the highway near Hook Road at about 2 p.m. for a reported rollover. Investigators determined the driver of a Ford F-150 pickup truck, a 57-year-old Vernon man, struck the rear corner of a Hyundai Tucson SUV in the next lane.
The truck driver overcorrected and hit the ditch, rolling several times. Neither driver was injured. Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said officers noticed “symptoms of impairment” on the pickup driver and gave him a roadside breath test, which he failed. Learned said the man was taken into custody and refused to provide a breath sample in custody. He was handed an automatic driving prohibition and released on a promise to appear in court next month.

Canadians across the country will soon be grabbing their runners, glamming up in pink and writing messages of ‘who they are running for?’ at the annual Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure on Sunday. Vernon joins 58 communities across the country for this inspiring event that raises awareness and funds for breast cancer research, education and awareness programs. Before the event gets underway, local fundraising efforts are taking place throughout the community. Nixon Wenger Lawyers hosts its annual fundraising barbecue for the cure event Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at #301 – 2706 30th Ave. Patrons of Crush Bistro, Margherita Cafe, the Eclectic Med and Italian Kitchen can also support the cause through the Tickled Pink Desserts campaign. Each of the restaurants has added a special dessert to their menu, with partial proceeds from each dessert sold until Oct. 14 being donated to CBCF. The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure is the largest single-day, volunteer-led national event in Canada in support of breast cancer. This year, the Run for the Cure in Vernon will take place at Clarence Fulton Secondary with opening cer-
emonies starting at 9:30 a.m. Sunday. A group of dedicated volunteers have spent over 1,500 hours of their time preparing for a memorable run day for Vernon residents. For the volunteer directors, Monica Tiggelaar and Lindsay Smith, they hope to see the momentum of fundraising in the community continue as run day approaches “It is not too late for people to participate and fundraise for the event on Sept. 30,” said Lindsay Smith, one of the volunteer run directors. “Every person that comes out on run day is helping increase awareness and funds for the cause.” Last year, more than 600 walkers and runners participated in the one-kilometre or five-kilometre event helping raise over $78,000 in Vernon alone (contributing to a provincial fundraising total of $4.76 million). All of the proceeds raised at the CIBC Run for the Cure will remain in B.C. Breast cancer remains the most common form of cancer diagnosed in Canadian women. One in nine Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. In 2012, an estimated 22,700 women in Canada will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and an estimated 5,100 will die from it. Visit www.cbcf.org to participate, donate or volunteer.

Toeing the party line
T
hose elected to Vernon council last year promised to bring fresh perspectives and new ideas, but not much has really changed. And specifically, the city continues to ignore the cultural needs of the community. On Monday, council endorsed a staff proposal to apply to B.C. Hydro for funding to move overhead utility lines underground at the city-owned Coldstream Hotel property downtown. The entire goal, it appears, is to make the massive parking lot more appealing to developers. “The removal of the works changes the site development potential and options for multiple development,” states a Richard Rolke staff report. In terms of the city’s possible $570,000 investment in removing the overhead lines, engineering development manager Ed Stranks told council, “It would be possible to get that money back from the sale of the property.” Now this is exactly the same party line that was doled out by the previous council — this large tract of publicly owned land has to be sold off to the private sector. “I’d like to see a 10-storey building go in there to create revenue for the city,” said thencouncillor Jack Gilroy in 2007 of the need for residential and commercial activities. Perhaps now is a good time for a little history lesson. The city doled out big bucks (about $2.8 million in 2004) for the old Coldstream Hotel and some adjacent buildings. Demolition of these structures further added to the bill. The original thrust for the property was a

cultural complex with a museum, art gallery and library. In fact, that concept was the focus of a cityappointed committee charged with investigating cultural matters in 2006. Things started to unravel when the projected $39 million price tag for a cultural facility scared the politicians-of-the-day off. Never really serious about the plight of the museum and art gallery, they started hanging their hat on commercial opportunities and people living downtown. But since 2006, developers have not shown an interest in the property, largely because of the cost of off-site services the city would require. There is also no guarantee downtown housing units will sell. The only thing that has happened since is the museum and art gallery are increasingly over-crowded, artifacts are at risk and the ability to provide public programs is limited. Yes the library has moved on, but the city desperately wants to relocate its tourism information centre from the outskirts of Vernon to downtown. The Coldstream Hotel property is ideal for cultural and tourism amenities, and having a first-class attraction would address the city’s objectives of revitalizing the downtown core. It’s also proven that cultural is an economic catalyst by attracting new business and residents to a community. Also, by bringing like-minded agencies together where they can share resources, the city can fulfill its pledge for efficient and affordable government. It’s time for the current slate of elected officials to think outside of the box and demonstrate some independence from the strategies of the past. If not, the Coldstream Hotel site is destined to remain a parking lot, now just with the power lines hidden away.
Political spin is an interesting phenomenon. Apparently, no matter what happens there’s some positive aspect that can be mined out of it to offer to voters. Just a few months ago MLA John van Dongen’s leaving the ruling Liberals for the upstart Conservatives was hailed as a breakthrough for the ambitious Tories and gave them a voice in the Legislature. It was also a great opportunity to revisit a few of the Liberals’ bigger mistakes, the BC Rail and B.C. Place fiasco, and offer van Dongen and Tory leader John Cummins as a viable free-enterprise alternative to the ruling party. Fast forward from March to last weekend and suddenly losing van Dongen is OK with the Conservatives and a beleaguered Cummins is carrying on as leader, despite the fact that 28 per cent of the delegates at last weekend’s convention wanted a review. That is, they wanted to see what their options were, other than Cummins of course. The party also lost Jon Martin to the Liberals on Friday, and he had just run in the ChilliwackHope byelection in April as a Conservative. To say it was not a good week for the Conservatives is a huge understatement, no matter what their leader and his followers may say. In fact the Liberals, who are still struggling themselves to gain any kind of traction, can certainly point to the trials and tribulations of the struggling Conservatives as reason enough to proclaim that the Tories aren’t a viable option to the governing party. Meanwhile the NDP continue to lead the polls while watching from the sidelines, enjoying the view from the left side as the right side keeps tripping over itself.

Say yes to sports complex
T
here hasn’t been much talk lately about the new sports facility proposed for construction beside Okanagan College. The Agricultural Land Commission approved non-farm use for the facility as long as it is built within three years of November 2011. So that means it has been nearly a year with no movement and we have only two years remaining to get this thing built. What are we waiting for? The purpose of this letter is to bring attention back to this matter and encourage residents to vote yes to a new sports facility when a referendum occurs. Many people argue that we don’t need a new sports complex. I disagree. Vernon does not have one proper football field or running track. Vernon Minor Football plays all of its home games at Grahame Park on a beautiful field. However, it does not have proper football uprights, change rooms, or lights. Polson’s running track is a disgrace. It is a dirt track and when it rains, it is filled with puddles and gets very messy and virtually unusable. A new rubber track will help our track athletes and distance runners with their training and will also be much easier on their joints. Most competitive track athletes do not use the dirt track at Polson. They choose to train at Kelowna’s Apple Bowl or Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, which have a rubber track. I don’t blame them as I would prefer to run on the same surface as I would be competing on. Nobody hosts track FAITH IN YOUTH I'm sure I'm not the only one out there who has asked the question, "What is wrong with young people these days?" Nor, am I the only one who is worried that the youth of today just doesn't have the morals or good senses that are required to be a decent person in this society. I was starting to getting a bit worried. Today, however, I witnessed an amazing act of good faith that brought a little tear to my eye. While running errands, I saw four young lads walking along Tronson Road directly behind my neighbour (a man in his senior years), who was having a lot of trouble with the tires on his motorized scooter. It looked like it was hard for him to keep the scooter off the roadway (which is very busy with vehicle traffic on a weekend). My immediate thought was they were going to terrorize him and give him a rough time. After turning around and driving back, I was amazed at what I saw. Two of these boys were assisting my neighbour to walk back to his
events on a dirt track anymore and haven’t for many years. I believe that football and track athletes along with all of the citizens of Vernon deserve better. How many ball diamonds and soccer fields do we have? We have many, and I think that’s great. I don’t think it’s too much to ask for one proper football field and track. The proposed field will be made with artificial grass, which offers the benefits of being able to host a playoff game. Currently, if a Vernon football team earns the right to host in the playoffs, they have to travel to either Kelowna or Kamloops to play on the artificial grass field as per playoff rules. There goes home field advantage.
house while the other two carried the scooter. They got him and the scooter home safely and made sure he got into his house. I thanked them very much for doing such a selfless thing and making sure he arrived safely. These fellows have renewed my faith in the fact that kids today can be honorable and well-meaning. I apologize for initially thinking that they were up to no good. I hope these fellows read this and appreciate that those kind acts are what make us good people, and that we all have to watch out for each other in this world. Thanks again guys. Stephanie Comer THINKING OF STUDENTS My mind is often on the plight of students today. We are in a complicated world these days, I will guess most everyone agrees. If I were young today, I believe I would be enticed to take the easy path to a high-paying job at the oil patch for example. I still could be drawn away from a college education by a simpler earning-
power job or what may appear as an easier path. And of course not all of us should go to college. A construction job or the like is what we may feel is most doable or more within a realm of reality. But when I notice a brilliant student emerge from the crowd, choosing to pass by the easy path, my interest gets piqued. The year 2011 /12 produced two winners at Pleasant Valley Secondary School in Armstrong. They each won $1,000 from the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Environmental Trust (ASET). They will both attend our local college working in water quality and related planet health learning. Join me in wishing them the best possible experience ahead. As students find a path and perhaps encounter the need for further assistance, ASET will help again pending ability. Some years, there are no competitors, leaving us at ASET with the option of some available further monetary support. All supports come from this commu-
The new facility would also have lights, which would allow teams to host evening games. In Kelowna, they have all of their high school football games on Friday night under the lights. Hundreds of students, parents, and fans come out to cheer on their team. It is such an amazing atmosphere and makes for a great night out. The facility will also have change rooms, an electronic scoreboard and more. I don’t think I need to sell you on the importance of these items. The sports complex will benefit so many people, not just football and track athletes. All field sports will have use of the field. I’m sure soccer would love the idea of being able to play after dark. From what I’ve seen, field lacrosse and field hockey are growing fast in Vernon as well. All citizens would have the use of the rubber track for walking and running. I see so many people walking around the hard surface of the upper ring in the Wesbild Centre. How much nicer would it be walking around a forgiving, rubber surface outdoors overlooking Kalamalka Lake? It is estimated to cost taxpayers $8.5 million for the complex, roughly two-thirds the price of the $12 million library that opened in May (strangely, I don’t remember that going to referendum). It was reported that the average cost per household would be between $17-$20 annually (or five cents a day). That’s only four to five café lattes a year. We can afford that. Let’s do our community a favour and vote yes for the sports complex. Tim Thorpe
nity which proves you in this community believe young people can use all the help we can give. They are our future, plain and simple. If you agree with all or even most of the above, why not join our movement toward change for the better? We need new members. That need does not fade. The Township of Spallumcheen, in celebrating its 120th anniversary of incorporation, has donated a one time $1,000 bursary toward our cause. This is wonderful news. All local support must remain as the past proves. We meet the second Wednesday of every month at the ArmstrongSpallumcheen Chamber of Commerce at 7 p.m. Come and join us and see what great new things are going to happen to help students help themselves within the school system. Come and be a role model for a young person’s future for a healthy planet, healthy people and healthy community. David R Derbowka Chairperson, ASET

There will have to be a minimum of five bicycle parking stalls installed to accommodate employees and five bicycle parking stalls for guests. There will also have to be shower facilities so employees can get cleaned up after riding a bicycle to work.

Vernon RCMP will be checking with Canadian border officials about the entry into the country of an American citizen stopped by officers Monday morning. Shortly before 3 a.m., a Vernon RCMP officer did a traffic stop on a white Ford. “The driver told the constable that he was an American citizen with an Oregon state driver’s licence,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “He identified himself as a 29-year-old, provided a name and said he lived in Portland, Ore.” It was while speaking with the man that the police officer noticed an odour of liquor coming from the car, and asked the driver to step out of the vehicle. A roadside screening device demand was read, but the suspect refused to comply, and was arrested

Artist’s water works make way to Big Apple Vernon’s Katie Brennan is making waves with her natureinspired abstracts KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
The Hudson River and Manhattan skyline may be thousands of kilometres away, but a local artist has been in an empire state of mind as of late. Vernon’s Katie Brennan is about to have her work on exhibition in The Big Apple. Her work has been selected among that of other Canadian artists to be shown in the exhibition Beyond Borders: an Exhibition of Fine Art from Canada at Agora Gallery in New York’s Chelsea district. The exhibition opens Oct. 9 and continues to Oct. 30. (And for anyone who happens the be in the city next month, there will be an opening reception Oct. 11) “It’s still all not quite real, the whole having work up in a gallery in New York; even when I packed up the paintings to ship to New York last week. I’m so curious to see how this all turns out. I really hope my paintings bump into some new, great friends out there, preferably ones with money,” laughed Brennan. It was through the marvels of the Internet that Brennan was able to connect with the gallery. “They emailed me to say they had seen my work on my website, and if I could send along some more images for them to look at. From there they reviewed what I has sent and accepted me,” she said. The exhibition features a body of work that Brennan began during a residency at the Banff Centre in the summer 2011. Since then she has spent time watching light dance across rivers, lakes and shifting through masses of clouds. Her resulting paintings feature tracings from projected images of water patterns. Working in gouache and oil, her technique of pooling paint and tracing lines cultivates images at once abstract and naturalistic. “The pieces in the New York exhibition

It’s liquid.” In her other recent works, Brennan has looked to the sky and the land, seeking to understand the awesome nature of these endless horizons. “The sky had captured my attention as another kind of large image space; one of infinite proportions and ever-changing imagery,” she said, referring to the hues of white and yellow pools that form billowing,
amorphous shapes, creating the movement and ethereality of clouds. Brennan’s focus has also shifted down from the sky and into the mountains, which reveal an evolution in her process. “I use lines to trace out the land, to claim its awesome and subtle power,” she explained. Those who can’t make it to the New York exhibition can get an idea of Brennan’s work closer to home. Besides shipping her paintings off to the eastern seaboard, she is currently in the midst of getting ready to show a new body of work at the Lake Country Art Gallery.
The show opens Oct. 12 and also features the work of fellow Vernonite Katherine Pickering. Entitled, The Limits of Seeing, “the paintings explore how we see, and don’t see, the world,” said Brennan. “Both our separate and diverse bodies of work use the formal elements of abstraction as well as recognition factors that are shared in terms of nature to create an exhibition that holds mystery, wonder and beauty in both contrasting and complementary ways.” Pickering is the former director of Kelowna’s Alternator Gallery for Contemporary Art, while Brennan is currently the curator of the Lake Country gallery. Both reside in Vernon and teach visual arts at the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus. Pickering has made a prolonged study of darkness for her abstract paintings, said Brennan. “Katherine’s paintings are the result of illuminated night rambles in various parts of the planet. Forms barely discerned inside caves or at the edge of a pool of light in a night garden have led to paintings that embrace mystery and ignite imagination,” she said. “The dark shapes that dominated early works of this kind appeared to be cave mouths, or other empty spaces. In her new work these have evolved into more solidseeming forms that now are more reminiscent of human heads.” The Limits of Seeing opens at the Lake Country Art Gallery with a reception Oct. 12 from 7 to 9 p.m. Both artists will be in attendance. Pickering will give an artist talk on Oct. 17 at 7 p.m., while Brennan will give an artist talk on Oct. 24, also at 7 p.m. Both women will be joined on Nov. 7 by Lake Country artist David Alexander for Painters Talking About Paintings, a conversation about painting. All events and openings are free and open to the public. The Lake Country Art Gallery is located at 10356A Bottom Wood Lake Rd. Regular hours are Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Thursday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visit www.lakecountryartgallery.ca or phone 250-766-1299.
Runaway Moon hosts floating lantern celebration in Enderby Sunday Those wishing to see the spectacle should arrive at the Enderby Chamber of Commerce Info Centre by 6:30 p.m. to also have the chance to spot the first appearance of Runaway Moon Theatre’s Dawn Stilt Chorus, which features

Peach City Radio society hosts Vinyl Fest PENTICTON –– Record collectors will be dropping the needle this weekend for the inaugural Okanagan Vinyl Fest. Hosted by the Peach City Community Radio Society, the event takes place Sunday at Penticton’s Shatford Centre. “The Okanagan Vinyl Fest is an event where the public can interact directly with vendors of new and vintage vinyl,” said even co-chairperson Ian Mackinder. Local vendors, in addition to vendors from all over the Okanagan and beyond, will be
there offering their LP records, CDs and audio equipment for sale to the public. “This event will provide the perfect opportunity to find that rare gem that you have been looking for to round out your vinyl collection, or, for the novice collector, a chance to get your collection started at a very reasonable price,” said Mackinder. In February, Peach City Radio conducted a Vinyl Drive, where locals donated more than 1,500 vinyl records to the society. This vinyl will be sold by Peach City Radio during the
event and all proceeds will go towards supporting the society’s efforts to establish a voice for the community in the form of a full-time, communitybased, broadcast radio station in Penticton. Maintaining its commitment to the promotion of local artists and talent, Peach City Radio, will host live bands to entertain the vinyl enthusiasts as they peruse the various genres of music for sale. Scheduled to perform are Michael Musclow, Oceans & Lights, and Playing for Tips, with live entertainment beginning at 10:30 a.m.
Okanagan Vinyl Fest will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Shatford auditorium, 760 Main St., Penticton. Entry is via the rear of the building near Penticton Secondary School. Regular admission is $2 per person. Between 9 and 10 a.m., keen collectors will have the opportunity to peruse the selection of items for sale during the Early Bird Hour for a special admission rate of $5. Admission is free for children 10 and under when accompanied by an adult. More information is available at www.peachcityradio.org.
Sheepdogs bring tour to valley KELOWNA –– On the heels of the announcement that their selftitled debut label LP The Sheepdogs, debuted at No. 1 on the Top 200 SoundScan Chart, the Saskatoon band has announced an extensive headlining cross-Canada tour kicking off Nov. 15. The Sheepdogs arrive in the Okanagan Dec. 18 to play a show at the Kelowna Community Theatre. As impassioned on stage as they are on record, The Sheepdogs have spent much of their musical lifetime on the road. In addition to innumerable headline shows and festival appearances, the band has shared stages with such like-minded acts as Kings of Leon, John Fogerty, Robert
Randolph & The Family Band, and Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears. Support on the Canadian tour is Kelowna’s Yukon Blonde, who have earned no shortage of acclaim for their hook-heavy brand of pop rock. However, before heading out across the country, The Sheepdogs, who just started their U.S. run, will make a couple of special appearances, including The Wolf’s 20th Anniversary Concert in Peterborough with rockers Sloan on Nov. 1, and the Rock 95 Birthday Bash with legendary Randy Bachman in Barrie on Nov. 3. Tickets to see The Sheepdogs in Kelowna are $29.50 available at all Ticketmaster outlets, ticketmaster.ca, or charge by phone at 1-855-985-5000.

METROPOLITIAN OPERA
Ambrogio Maestri and Anna Netrebko star in Donizetti’s L’Elisir d’Amore, screening live from The Met at Vernon’s Galaxy Cinemas Oct. 13.
Opera live from The Met returns Morning Star Staff
Local music lovers can once again experience the world’s greatest operatic performances live in Vernon’s Galaxy Cinemas. The theatre is once again hosting the 2012-13 season of The Met: Live in HD, which will bring performances from New York’s famed Metropolitan Opera to the big screen with crystal clear images and Dolby digital surround sound. The season begins Oct. 13 with Donizetti’s L’Elisir d’ Amore. Featuring Russian soprano Anna Netrebko and American tenor Matthew Polenzani as the fickle Adina and her besotted Nemorino, Bartlett Sher’s new production is one of the greatest comic gems in opera, with Maurizio Benini conducting. “We’re pleased to provide Canadians access to one of the world’s most important opera companies, live from the comfort and convenience of their local theatre,” said Pat Marshall, vice president of communications at Cineplex Entertainment. “With stun-
ning close-up visuals and unbelievable sound, our guests say this is a great way to experience the opera.” The Met: Live in HD continues Oct. 27 with Verdi’s Shakespearean masterpiece, Otello; Nov. 10 features The Tempest, conducted by Thomas Adès; Dec. 1 is La Clemenza di Tito, with Elina Garanca singing the part of Sesto in Mozart’s drama set in ancient Rome. On Dec. 8, director David Alden’s dreamlike setting provides a compelling backdrop for a dramatic story of jealousy and vengeance in Un Ballo in Maschera. Dec. 15 is The Met’s unforgettable production of Verdi’s ancient Egyptian drama Aida. (The 2013 shows are listed at www.cineplex.com/Events/ MetOpera/Home.aspx) Individual tickets for the 2012-13 season are now available at Galaxy Cinemas box office and online. Guests can also purchase the entire 2012-13 season online at discounted rates. Visit cineplex.com/events for more information, including a list of participating theatres and showtimes.
For the record In Sunday’s story about the Mackie Lake House writer’s residency, the late Paddy Mackie was referred to incorrectly. A veteran of the Second World War, and a school teacher, he was an accomplished watercolorist, potter, pianist and flautist, as well as a naturalist and historian. The Morning Star regrets the error and apologizes.

Studio swings into fall KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
Once their students have mastered the fox trot, tango or Viennese waltz, the owners of City Dance want to make sure they have a place to practise their new-found dance skills. “We felt strongly that there was a need in Vernon for a place where people felt comfortable to dance,” said instructor Heather Stranks, who opened City Dance in February with co-owners/instructors Ruth McGrath and Jens Goerner. “Why take lessons if you can’t use your skills?” City Dance holds dances every Friday at 8 p.m. for $5 per person and all are welcome, not just students of the studio. “It is a great way to meet other dancers in the community as well as practise and have fun,” said Stranks. The three instructors, each with their own talents and specialties, joined forces to offer not only lessons, but a complete dance experience, offering ballroom, Latin, swing and hip hop. With more than 20 years’ experience, Goerner has an extensive background in both American and international style; McGrath has more than five years of experience teaching ballroom, Latin and swing; Stranks is well-known as coach and administrator of the Vernon Figure Skating Club and brings experience in performance, choreography and production, as well as administrative skills. Hip hop and street dance classes are taught by Simone Goerner, who has more than 12 years of teaching experience. “This has been a project of love for us,” said Stranks. “We had the mirrors and the paint donated, we made the tables and my mom made the tablecloths.” With a club-like atmosphere, the studio’s dance floor is surrounded by tables and chairs, where dancers can enjoy a beverage and a chance to socialize. “We wanted to have more than a studio, we want people to feel comfortable dancing here, whether or not they take classes here,” said Stranks, who counts ballroom as her favourite style of dance, with its resemblance to figure skating. “I love the Viennese waltz, as there is a flow to it and it’s very pretty.” With instructors trained in both American and international style of dance, the studio is currently home to students ranging in age from 10 to 80. “People are looking for a fun way to get active and have fun, and this is a different way to get exercise and it’s a great way for people to connect with other people,” said McGrath. “Not everyone wants to dance at a bar. We have a great mix of music, and we base it on who is here. We have so much fun; it’s very casual and everyone comes and they mix and mingle. It’s very friendly, and we’re very proud of that.” Membership in the studio gives dancers access to free group lessons, although you do not need to be a member to take classes or attend the Friday night dances. “We get a lot of couples who join us on Fridays and make it their date night. People tell us it feels like family here,” said Stranks. “Everyone is so busy and so to

And a variety of wedding packages are offered for couples who want to polish their steps for that first dance as newlyweds. “We’re all about making it fun,” said McGrath, who counts the Argentinian tango as her personal favourite. “It’s beautiful and sexy — it allows the woman to play a bit and have fun.” Meanwhile, the instructors are busy planning a number of events to introduce the studio to the community. Dance: The Evolution is the studio’s premiere production, taking place Feb. 23 at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre, and incorporating dance styles over the past 500 years up to the present day. “We are happy to be able to involve other studios in the show so that we can include all dance genres, not only those which we teach at our studio,” said Stranks.
“We encourage other studios to contact us if they would like to be involved. “We are also excited to be working with Melina Moore, who will be offering her vocal talents during many of the dance numbers in the show.” The studio is looking for couples who would like to take part in the quadrille — no experience necessary — as well as ballroom numbers. Partial proceeds from the show will benefit Sun FM’s Have a Heart Radiothon for the children’s ward at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. And this Friday, City Dance hosts an open house starting at 8 p.m. Mini lessons will be offered in ballroom, Latin, swing and hip hop as well as Zumba with Sareena Nickoli. Special group lesson prices will be available on this night for those who attend. “There is no charge to attend, and what a great way to see if dancing and our studio is right for you,” said Stranks. “Drop in, hang out, try some dancing.” City Dance is at 4411-29th St. For more information, call 250-307-4955.

Life Project embraces diversity Morning Star Staff
The Shuswap Inclusion Project is kicking off its third year of a campaign to reduce hate and promote embracing diversity. The project is joining forces with Salmon Arm KAIROS to bring peace activist Maxine Kaufman-Lacusta to Salmon Arm Oct. 9 at 7:30 p.m. at First United Church, 50 Okanagan Ave. SE, Salmon Arm. Admission is free. Kaufman-Lacusta is the author of Refusing to be Enemies, a study of the peace movement in Israel/Palestine, based on interviews and her firsthand experience. A Quaker-Jewish activist, she lived in Jerusalem from 1988 to 1995, during which time she participated in anti-occupation and solidarity groups, and took a particular interest in the practice and promotion of active nonviolence and
joint Israeli-Palestinian endeavours. The Shuswap Inclusion Project promotes the concept of embracing diversity by helping to build a welcoming and inclusive community. “Much of what she promotes is relevant to finding constructive ways to approach the schisms that develop within a community from time-to-time,” said project leader Bernie Desrosiers. KAIROS unites 11 Christian organizations including Anglican, Christian Reform, Lutheran, Presbyterian, United, Catholic and Mennonite in an effort to promote human dignity, social justice, ecological sustainability and non violence. “This is not about taking sides in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict but about the failure of violence to save lives and resolve conflicts,” said chairman Ray Morris.

CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Any woman, of any age, can face an unplanned pregnancy. They are not alone. The North Okanagan Pregnancy Care Centre is there to help with information, one-on-one support and the tools needed to make an informed decision. “We are dedicated to helping women and their partners who are facing an unplanned pregnancy,” said Shannon Green, executive director of the centre, a non-profit agency with a board of directors from the community which offers free services. The centre opened last November in Vernon. “It is our hope that everyone will know that we are here and we will be the first place they come to for help to make an informed decision about the pregnancy.” The centre offers free, confidential pregnancy tests, education on pregnancy options, one-on-one support and community referral. “We want to be the first step for people who need these services. I think we do a great job in our community across different fields and with the service providers here. Unplanned pregnancy crosses all social and cultural barriers and can affect anyone. People may not be aware of the services until they are needed. We think through our support we can help build healthy, stable families who make healthy choices and decisions and get to where they really want to go,” said Green. While personal choices are left to the individuals, there is on-going care and support, including
“It’s important for people to know that we are here and that we care.”
What can you expect at vLearn.ca?
— Shannon Green maternity and baby clothes and supplies and a new mothers group for pregnant and parenting mothers. “What we are hearing, in different ways, from the women who have come here, is that they feel loved, welcomed and safe. It’s important for people to know that we are here and that we care. As a social worker, my heart really is for caring about women and strengthening families.” The centre also provides prenatal and parenting, sexual integrity and post-abortion programs. There is support for fathers if they want it. North Okanagan Pregnancy Care Services are available by appointment by calling 778-475-6016 or e-mail info@vernonpregnancy.com. The Walk for Life to support the centre takes place Sunday at Polson Park with registration ($20/ walker, kids under five free) at 1 p.m. (pre-register by calling the above number), followed by entertainment and the walk starting at 2 p.m. People can walk any distance they choose in the park. There will be a free barbecue and music for registered walkers at 3 p.m. with a bouncy castle and facepainting.

notice as I drive by the many orchards in our area a wonderful smell of fresh ripe apples (to experience, keep windows opened). I see ladders and apple pickers in most orchards these days and the supply of fresh, juicy apples is building daily. Apples are one of the most versatile fruits in the world today. Besides chomping into a whole apple or eating them fresh with a dip or cheese, Cathi Litzenberger and in any variety of salads, they can be cooked or baked into sauce, pies, crumbles, crisps, muffins, loaves, cakes, cookies, and a never-ending list of dessert recipes. With school back in, it’s a good time to bake up extra muffins for lunches, and today I have a nice recipe that freezes well and will be a favourite for the kids. The second recipe is for breakfast or brunch and is a tasty, simple baked pancake. Serve it with maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream for a fancier dish.

yoga. Known to yogis as the “discipline of action� it is a form of yoga based on the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, the world’s most famous yoga text, and is often understood as the yoga of selfless service, without expectation of anything in return. A local yoga teacher puts this practice into her business, allowing for the opportunity of many to experience yoga in a concentrated form for the benefit of their bodies and minds without the cost associated with many expensive yoga retreats. Satyama Lasby,
owner of Open to Bliss Productions, is offering a yoga retreat by donation starting Saturday at Johnson’s Landing Retreat Centre. “I know and have experienced the power of karma yoga, � says Lasby. “Specifically when I lived at Osho’s International Meditation Centre in India, the more time and service I gave, the more I got back. “No one there makes any money, it is completely run by volunteers. It was the happiest and most fulfilling time of my life. I had no expectations, I just said yes to

everything, and my joy grew exponentially.� Lasby hopes everyone can experience bliss on their own path to a more natural way of living and being. A yoga teacher for 13 years and trained in four specific yoga disciplines, she wants to spread the idea of karma yoga, as well as ways of exchanging services and energy to the community. Her creation, Open to Bliss Productions, produces yoga and tantra workshops and retreats across Western Canada. Satyama is also a massage practitioner in East Hill. “Just because I believe in karma does not mean I do not need to make money. I promote services by exchange when possible and when it is fair. I am simply responding to everyone I have ever heard say ‘I would love to take a workshop with you but I can’t afford it, or ‘I don’t have the time.’ My way of operating is that if you really want a change to happen in your life, you could potentially start right here, with this opportunity presenting itself to you.� The upcoming yoga retreat, for all levels of ability, will be held this Saturday until Oct. 4 at Johnson’s Landing Retreat Centre, about an hour outside of Kaslo.
There is a facility fee of $115 and also the cost of accommodation at the centre, which includes your meals. Participants can come for all five days for any amount of time they wish. People are invited to make donations for the teachings, which will include two yoga classes per day, instruction in silent and active meditations, creative expression including visual journaling and intuitive art, as well as massage sessions during free time associated with the retreat. “I have a passion for teaching authentic styles of yoga, and helping people take their practice to the next level of awareness. I am blessed to have studied yoga and meditation intensely while I lived in India, and running this business feels as though I am living my life’s purpose. Sharing gifts and making it affordable is my way of giving back to those willing to take a deeper look at themselves; all you need to do is make the time in your life and get there.� To register, call Johnson’s Landing at 1-877-366-4402 or info@johnsonslandingretreat.bc.ca or contact Satyama at 250-5588632 or info@opentobliss.com.

Tower reaches one year Morning Star Staff
A major advancement in health care has been around for a year now. The Polson tower at Vernon Jubilee Hospital marked its first anniversary Tuesday. “It feels like just yesterday we were opening this fantastic new patient care tower,” said Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA. A lot has happened since the tower opened Sept. 25, 2011. In the first 11 months, there were 32,643 visits to the new emergency department, more than 6,700 surgeries performed, and 612 babies born in the tower. The $180-million facility added 16,815 square metres of space

ful building to work in,” said Pam Randall the operating room material management coordinator at VJH. “Since moving in it feels like everyone is more upbeat, and after 34 years working at VJH, the Polson tower has given me a second wind.” The next step now is planning for acute care beds in the two unfinished floors in the tower. A business case for the beds has been submitted to the Ministry of Health. “We’re getting closer to the point when we
can announce details of the plan, including the type and number of beds, scope of work, timeframe and estimated cost,” said Foster. In addition, the process to update the master site plan at VJH is underway. A request for proposals to provide master planning consulting services recently closed Sept. 18. The Interior Health Authority anticipates awarding the successful proposal by the end of the month, with completion of the updated master site plan in December.

Jersey Day raises KidSport funds It might be the only time this year you’ll see an NHL jersey. But a lockout won’t stop staff at Black Press from donning their favourite jerseys in support of youth sports programs on Friday. Taking a cue from the successful Jeans Day campaigns, Black Press staff, which includes employees at The Morning Star, will donate $2 for the privilege of wearing a jersey from their favourite sports team. Money collected will be donated to KidSport, a community-based sportfunding program that provides grants for children ages 18 and under to participate in a sport season of their choice. “This is a great way for people to show all the different kinds of sports that not only people can participate in, but love, and at the same time, support a great cause, KidSport,” said Doug Ross, a Greater Vernon KidSport committee member who would wear his autographed
Saku Koivu Montreal Canadiens jersey on Friday if he could. But as that jersey is in a display cabinet, Ross will instead don an NHLPA jersey, autographed by Vernon’s Brent Gilchrist, from the 1994 Silver Lining Hockey Game held at the Vernon Civic Arean during an NHL work stoppage. Morning Star publisher Ian Jensen has tried – in vain – to encourage all of his staff to wear the jersey of his beloved Calgary Flames. “Sports has a way of bringing people together, and this is a great way to share a love of sports and help out a great cause,” said Jensen. The Morning Star and Greater Vernon KidSport invites the community to take part, donning jerseys from hockey, football, baseball and more. People and businesses participating can also share photos of their jersey day on our Facebook page at www.facebook. com/vernonmorningstar. Money for Greater
INVITING EVERYONE
Vernon KidSport will be collected at The Morning Star, Vernon City Hall, Wesbild Centre and Vernon Recreation Centre. “If anybody else wants to take part, we’ll happily send somebody over to collect buckets of toonies,” said Ann Holmes of Greater Vernon KidSport. Collection pick-up can be co-ordinated by calling Holmes at 250308-1558, or Shayne Wright (who will be wearing his KidSport jersey at the rec centre) at 250-550-3671. More information on Greater Vernon KidSport can be found at www. greatervernonkidsport. ca.

Special to The Morning Star
Despite all the health warnings, teenagers continue to get hooked on tobacco even though they all know that it’s bad for them. It is therefore logical to conclude that knowledge of the health risks is not enough to convince teenagers to not
ease, and can shorten your life by 10 years or more. Smoking kills. Teens also need to know that smoking destroys your looks. It adds wrinkles, causes skin to sag, discolors teeth, and can contribute to permanent damage to essential skin structures such as collagen. Very few people
start smoking in their 20’s, which means that this addiction starts in your teens. Smoke pits are the perfect training ground to addict our youth. Consequently, the B.C. government made smoking at school illegal a few years ago. However, kids can just stroll down the street from school to entrench the

Association (2012) offers teenagers the following tips to kick their smoking habits: ■ Decide that you are really ready to quit. ■ If you think a stop-smoking group would help, join the Kick-The-Nic club at your school. ■ Choose a quit date and stick to it. ■ Find someone who agrees to help and support you if it gets tough. ■ Prepare yourself and your surroundings; get rid of all your smoking stuff, and tell people what you’re doing. ■ List your reasons for quitting and read them every time you have the urge to smoke. ■ Drink lots of water, choose healthy foods, and get some exercise; these things really help! ■ Set goals and celebrate your accomplish-
ments; you have some extra money now! ■ Plan what you’ll do when you have urges and cravings. You’ll be less likely to slip. ■ Know that a slip is not failure and stay positive. ■ Even though it’s hard, quitting is the best thing you can do for yourself. All secondar y schools in Vernon offer a Kick-The-Nic smoking cessation program. If your child wants to stop smoking they can talk to Mr. Vardabasso at VSS, Mr. Reid at Fulton, Mrs. Knight or Mrs. Mohr at Kalamalka, Ms. Kwantes or Mr. Rogers at Seaton and Mr. Plecas at Bloom. Parents can be a fantastic role model by quitting themselves; your doctor is a great place to get started. Doug Rogers is the substance abuse prevention counsellor with the Vernon School District.

tobacco addiction. Another troubling reality is that it is illegal for kids to purchase tobacco products. So where are they getting their cigarettes? In most cases from their parents! Parents are breaking the law by supplying their child’s habit. But the greater concern is that parents are contributing to the addiction of their child. Parents who consume tobacco products don’t want to appear to be hypocrites to their child so they supply cigarettes to ease their guilt. Fifty per cent of smokers will die from a smoking-related illness. Parents please don’t contribute to the addiction of your child. Rules at home are important and parents should establish a nosmoking rule – even if they are smokers themselves! Quit together! The Lung

The opening reception will take place
Saturday, from 3 to 7 p.m. with refreshments provided by the museum and art gallery volunteers. The exhibit will also be open on Sunday, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Museum volunteers will be present to discuss the barns and collect information, stories and names associated with these great old buildings. “So do join us and enjoy the great
diversity of barns in Spallumcheen. And if you have a favorite barn perhaps you would share it with us in photograph form or historical information,” said Tucker. “Everyone seems to love barns and these icons of the rural past truly inform us of the agricultural history of our beautiful Spallumcheen Valley.” For more information call the museum at 250-546-8318.

Province-wide phone poll favours new refinery TOM FLETCHER
ident David Black said he was pleasantly surprised that so many people have heard of the refinery proposal, and that most support the idea. “Obviously the concept has struck a chord with the public,” he said. Black remains chairman of Black Press, owner of The Morning Star, and formed Kitimat Clean as a separate company to pursue the refinery project. He is financing the provincial environmental assessment for it, which he expects to take two years and cost several million dollars. Black first proposed the refinery to the B.C. government seven years ago as chairman of the B.C. Progress Board, an advisory panel set up to exam-

Kitimat Clean has applied for environmental assessment of a proposed oil refinery, after commissioning a poll that found nearly three out of four B.C. residents support the idea. A province-wide phone survey conducted during September found 78 per cent of respondents were aware of the proposal to build a large refinery at Kitimat to process Alberta heavy crude oil. Provincially, 72 per cent either favoured or were “somewhat supportive” of the proposed $13 billion refinery, which would ship gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel to market rather than tankers of diluted bitumen.

“The concept has struck a chord with the public.” — David Black ine economic and social development of the province. His interest was renewed when Enbridge Inc. applied
for federal approval to build the Northern Gateway pipeline from northern Alberta’s oil sands to a new tanker port at Kitimat.
The Enbridge project has met strong opposition from communities, aboriginal groups and environmentalists, much of it based on the threat of a tanker spill on B.C.’s North Coast. Black argues that a refinery not only reduces the spill risk, it means 6,000 construction jobs and 3,000 permanent employees to run it.

Persley powers up forward corps Riley Hunt dealt to Salmon Arm SilverBacks Morning Star Staff
Jason Williamson might get to do something this weekend he hasn’t had the luxury of in two seasons as head coach/GM of the Vernon Vipers – name a healthy scratch. Maybe two. With Saturday’s re-acquisition of forward Brendan Persley, the Vipers were two players over the B.C. Hockey League’s mandated 22-man roster limit. That was OK because forwards Braedan Russell and Mitch McAllister were on the long-term injured reserve, but Russell could possibly return Friday when Vernon (2-1-0-2) hosts the Prince George Spruce Kings (3-0-1-1) at Wesbild Centre. Defenceman Marc Hetnik (leg) is also likely to return for weekend action. The Snakes visit the Trail Smoke Eaters (2-4) Saturday at Cominco Arena. Only able to dress 20 players, and with 15 forwards in the stable, Williamson cleared some room by sending winger Riley Hunt to the Salmon Arm SilverBacks in exchange for future considerations Tuesday. Brendan Persley Hunt, a 5-foot-6 energy forward committed to Harvard University, was pointless in four games, and found himself the odd man out on the Vipers’ fourth line. “I just don’t have room for him and he’s gotta play,” said Williamson. “(Logan) Mick, (Mike) Roberts and TJ (Dumonceaux) on the weekend were really good (on the fourth line).” Vernon went 3-for-7 on the man Riley Hunt advantage and set a season-high offensive output in Saturday’s 7-2 win over the Smokies at Wesbild. Persley’s return to the lineup yielded instant rewards as he pocketed a goal and two helpers for third star in front of nearly 1,400 fans. “Hopefully I can keep that going,” he said. “I think I’m an all-around player; I like to hit, and I take the body a lot, but I also feel like I can put the puck in the net as well.” The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Kelowna product left Viper main camp to audition with the WHL Tri-City Americans, but decided a larger playing role in the BCHL was his best option. “Things went really well there, but as a 19-year-old I just felt I should be playing a lot more,” said Persley. “I only have two years left (of junior) to prove a point in hockey and hopefully make it to the next level. If I want to do that, I have to be playing.” After Persley’s departure, Williamson dealt his Junior A rights to Manitoba’s Virden Oil Capitals in exchange for

Vernon won 7-2. forward Mitch Van Teeling, but made a second deal with the Caps, this one for future considerations, to get him back. “We missed his character in the room and his grit and tenacity. We knew what we were getting, and he makes us a little bit older.” Also having big nights for the Vipers were first star Jedd Soleway and second star Colton Sparrow, each with 2+1. Aaron Hadley opened the scoring just over a minute into the first period, and Soleway used his booming shot for the 2-0 goal 5:01 into the second, beating netminder Lyndon Stanwood low blocker side on a 2-on-1. Less than two minutes later, Sparrow pounced on a rebound after Persley drove to the net. With Vernon up 4-2 early in the third period, Soleway and Van Teeling clicked on a slick powerplay passing sequence to set up Sparrow for a wide open tap in. Viper rookie forward Craig Martin, on a great second effort, knocked the puck out to Adam Tambellini, who beat Stanwood five-hole for the final goal, shorthanded. Vernon denied Trail four times on the man advantage. Tyler Berkholtz counted both of Trail’s goals, one of them

For the second weekend in a row, Vernon outshot its opposition nearly 2-1, only this time Williamson said the Snakes made sure on their chances. “We got some rebound goals, we got guys going to the net, some second- and third-effort goals.

Erik Chirkoff of the Kal Lakers tries to get past Ross Perrich of the Mt. Baker Wild in senior varsity AA football action Saturday at Kal.
Lakers swamp Trojans 31-0 Morning Star Staff
Ground and pound. It’s a mixed martial arts strategy and it worked for the host Kalamalka Lakers as they opened the high school senior boys football season by ambushing Cranbrook’s Mt. Baker Trojans 31-0 Saturday. The Lakers got on the board early, scoring on their first two possessions. Kal was able to get all of their new and younger players some valuable game time in the win. “The reps that these players are getting will serve us well down the road,” said Kal head coach Brad Yamoaka. “With everyone getting game experience it gives us coaches more options when it comes to subbing players into games. Roster sizes aren’t what they used to be so every player has to contribute.” Brendan Squair led a limited passing attack by completing 3-of-4 for 82 yards. Gabe Delaney had two catches for 53 yards, while Robby Filice hauled in one 35-yarder. The bulk of the offence came on the ground as Filice and Karson Patommel combined for 190 yards on only 11 carries. Of those 11, five went for touchdowns. Filice racked up 103 yards on seven touches while scoring from 20, 26 and six yards. Patommel, a towering Grade 10, amassed 87 yards on four carries and scored from 15 and 45 yards. Squair booted one convert. Michael Filipenko rushed four times for 14 yards, while Hayes Harrison had five touches for 11 yards. Kal played strong on defence, even with defensive co-ordinator Lawrie Skolrood at home recovering from the flu. Austin Westgarde anchored the defence with six tackles and three sacks, while Filice supplied seven tackles and Sam Braun posted six tackles and one sack. Warden Vanderveen and Andrew Farmer each produced five tackles and one fumble recovery. Chris Leverman had three tackles and one sack,
while Patommel registered two tackles and two sacks. “The nice thing about having a solid group of veteran players is that they knew what they were supposed to do,” added Yamoaka. “When our younger players got in the game in the second half, we gave Mt. Baker too many opportunities on offence. They controlled the ball for most of the half, keeping our offence off the field. We did, however, keep them out of the end zone.” Harrison also added 21 yards on three kickoff returns. Next up for the Lakers in the Okanagan Senior AA Varsity Football Conference is a Friday-night tilt with the host South Kamloops Titans.
Vernon’s Harlan Orr collected the equalizer and the overtime winner as the North Okanagan Knights upended the Kamloops Storm 3-2 in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League action Saturday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Orr, a late cut by the BCHL Surrey Eagles, made it a 2-2 game on a goal-mouth scramble with 4:44 to play in the second period. With three minutes to play in double-OT, Orr poked the puck into the neutral zone with a guy hanging all over him, created some space and made a nice move to beat Marcus Beesley. “He’s a good pickup,” said Knights’ head coach Kris Mallette. “Very good offensive instincts, but he has some work to do positionally in the defensive end. Offensively, the kid knows what to do blueline in.” Singles by Ian Chrystal and Ryan Skinner (powerplay) had the 2-0-0-1 Storm up 2-1 after one period. Mac Ferner hammered a rolling puck bar-down for the 2-1-0-1 Knights’ goal during a powerplay. Mallette said Saturday night’s effort was a good response to a Friday OT loss in Kamloops. “For the majority of the game, we carried the play. We were skating, we were playing physical, and we had some big penalty kills and timely goals that allowed our guys to squeak one out.” The Knights went 1-for-6 on the man advantage, and held Kamloops to one goal on nine attempts. Mallette said his team needs to play with more discipline, but credited his squad for drawing penalties with its speed. “That’s the way we need to be successful,” he said. “We’re a good skating team. When we’re moving, teams are going to have to haul us down or try and get in our way to slow us down.” The Knights head out on one of two overnight road swings of the season, starting Friday against the Castlegar Rebels (2-1-2). On Saturday, they visit the Spokane Braves (2-2), and Sunday they take on the host Grand Forks Border Bruins (1-4). Mallette said the road trip will be a good opportunity to gel as a team. “Guys are still feeling each other out,” he said. “Once we figure out what our teammates’ tendencies are, we’ll be that much better.”

The Vernon Marauders slammed the Kelowna Dragons 54-6 in Interior Junior Bantam Football Conference action Sunday at Grahame Park. The Marauder defence limited the Dragons to minus 58 yards of total offence. The right side of the line was controlled by defensive end Miles Forest, with three tackles, two sacks and a fumble recovery, and linebacker Sebastian Sanchez, who recorded two tackles and three sacks. Josh Hyer sealed the outside, earning four tackles and three sacks, one for a safety. Also scoring for the Marauder defence was Koalden Oakden with a boot-top interception and a 43-yard return for a TD. Tackle Sam Knox made a touchdown-

saving tackle and was instrumental in controlling the middle. “The boys played an outstanding game,” said defensive coach Andy Stefansson. “We were successful not just because of the guys making the tackles, but because everyone did their job to the best of their ability.” For the offence, Keaton Vernon scored the first TD early in the first quarter with a 48-yard rush down the sideline. He rushed for 102 yards on six carries. Tailback Connor Manahan and Morgan Nichols each added two more TDs. The game was capped by a 41-yard TD run by Tyler (Ducky) Sova. Long snapper Isaac Olsen and placekicker Sebastian Sanchez were on 5-for-7 on converts. “The defence gave us good field position and our wideouts Teylor Munger, Dylan Huber and Keiran Webster made several crucial blocks for us today,” said QB coach Ed Huber. The Marauders host the Kamloops Broncos Sunday (11 a.m.) at Grahame Park. In Bantam play Sunday, the Vernon Wolverines scored on their first two touches before falling 27-14 to the visiting Abbotsford Falcons. Levi Nicholas and Zac Kronbauer produced the touchdowns on passes from Ty Kitzman, with Trey Isaac converting both. The Wolverines took a huge hit when Kitzman later left the game due to injury. Offensive standouts were Kronbauer and Kitzman, while Max Chapman, Jakob Laflamme and Davron

Zac Kronbauer of the Vernon Wolverines breaks a tackle from Grayson Marquardt of the Abbotsford Falcons in Bantam minor football action Sunday at Grahame Park. Polok played hardnosed Mad Dawg defensive football. Player of the game was Nicholas, who never left the field. Said coach Doug Cook: “We we came out hard, but halfway through the second quarter, you could see the momentum swing in the Falcons’ favour. The Wolverines host Langley Sunday (1 p.m.) at Grahame. The Vernon Yellow Jackets grounded the visiting Kelowna Lions 52-0 in Pee Wee football action Sunday. Following a perfectly placed onside opening kick by Liam Glennon, quarterback Zack Smith scampered in from 32 yards.
Glennon followed that with another onside kick, and tailback Bryce Tkachuk took the ensuing handoff 52 yards to the end zone. To end the quarter, Smith ran a QB keep around the outside for a seven-yard TD, giving Vernon a 22-0 lead. “Our special teams were very good today and helped give us great field position all day,” said head coach Bryan Cragg. “If we didn’t recover an onside kick, we pinned them deep with long kickoffs.” The second quarter saw the Jackets open up the playbook and move the ball through the air. Matthew Reich scored on a 37-yard touch-
down run, and Smith hit Thomas Satterthwaites for an 18-yard TD pass to make it 36-0 at the half. Cragg credited the Yellow Jacket O-line (Liam Alder, Connor Dewhurst, Logan Quibell, Carson Hamming and Devin Hofsink) for giving Smith time to throw. In the second half, Isaiah Ondrik scooped up a Kelowna fumble and rambled in for a touchdown and Riley MacGillivray added a 25-yard TD run. Liam Alder (5 tackles) and Izaac Lowe (3 tackles) led the defence. The Yellow Jackets (5-0) entertain the Kamloops Broncos (2-2) Sunday at 9 a.m.

Camels sink Ogopogos Advance to Capri Insurance League semis Morning Star Staff
The final four is set in the Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League. Defending champion Kelowna Marketplace IGA, 2010 winning Leko Precast Camels, Penticton United and Lake Country all won quarterfinal matches Monday night. The Camels will battle IGA, while Penticton meets the Lakers in semifinals next Monday under the lights (fields TBA). The Humpbacks (third at 17-4-1) brushed off the sixth-place Big O Tire-Turn-Key Ogopogos 4-2 at Marshall Field #5. The Camels took an an early lead when striker Gord Howard neatly finished a cross from Rick Raber. Defender Jeff Vest went on a long run deep inside the Big O zone and his through ball was booted in by Ogopogo defender Kerry Zubot, who was otherwise stellar all night. John Garner fooled Camel keeper Dave Dutcher with a rising 37-yard free kick for the last goal of the first half. The Camels came out with a burst of pressure in the second half with midfielder Chris Reeves volleying in a cross from Vest for the prettiest goal of the night. Raber then smacked a left footer past substitute keeper Leo Nadeau, who made several huge saves to keep the game close. Midfielder Brian Williamson made one great dosey-do around two defenders on the touch line, and was solid defensively, earning the Lumby Massage & Spa Man of the Match. Garner, who earned the Rosters Man of the Match for the Ogopogos, got Big O Tire back in the game when he connected on a great cross from Mark Wasylyk. Garner almost blasted in a low drive from outside the 18, just missing the corner, in the dying minutes. Volker Otto, Mike Adams and Mike Powell also had strong games at the back for Big O, who had their best finish ever at 12-10. Second-place IGA cruised comfortably into the semis with a 6-1 win over the seventh-place Silver Stars at Mission Sports Fields. The Stars showed up with only 10 players and struggled from the outset to control IGA’s fluid
passing game. Goals from Tony Gonzales, Colin Burton and Donny Brown gave IGA a 3-0 lead at the half. The Stars’ roster went up to 11 just after the half but IGA continued to dominate with goals from Scott Seiben, Steve Heiss and Brown. The Stars pulled one back to salvage some pride in the 70th minute when John Matejicka scored on a spectacular 20-yard volley. The Stars’ central midfield, composed of Gary Saunders who confused IGA with his Manchester accent, Art Renaud who ran the field like a border collie on cappuccino, and Rob Bauml who was his usual burly self, ran miles. Cam Percy, and Brian Eso were pillars on the back line, each clearing at least 20 balls out back per half. English centreback John Burns intimidated the IGA forwards like a soccer hooligan whose team had just lost their fourth straight match. Stars’ keeper Ted Lurkins was forced to make many great saves but his double dose of ibuprofen enabled him to walk off the pitch at game’s end with the same kind of pride a gored bull rider shows after being tossed at the three-second mark. Fourth-place Lake Country clipped fifth-place North Country Appraisals Kickers 2-1 (4-2) in a shootout at Beasley Park. North country went ahead early on a goal by Will Kruiper, from Matt Cherrille. Glen Heagle equalized for Lake Country a dozen minutes into the second half off a scramble. Laker keeper Todd Ryder stoned Roy Hannen on a penalty shot in the second half after Greg Bevandick was taken down in the box. Ryder again came up big in the shootout, stopping two shots. Bruce McAuliffe, Steve Cox, Heagle and Duane Mueller, with the winner, handled the Lake Country shootout goals. League champion Penticton shut out the Rented Mules 3-0 with Ken Horncastle opening the scoring in the first half with a breakaway goal to the corner after a through ball from Zeke Pescada. The Mules battled back and came close after a breakaway stop by a hard-challenging Penticton keeper Mike Killick. Dave Killick and Rob Jackson added insurance goals.
The VSS Panthers swept the Pen-Hi Lakers 25-19, 25-16 in Saturday’s final of the Mustang Mania Senior Girls Volleyball Tournament in Penticton. Coached by Keith Becker, the 10th-ranked AAA Cats presented their Workhorse Awards to Hanna Nesbit, who took control of the setting when all-star setter Mary Rice injured her ankle warming up for game two, and Kelsey Tkachuk, who stepped in to play some Libero, right side and setter. Vernon brushed off the Rutland Voodoos 25-17, 25-12 and Keremeos 25-9, 25-16 in round one of pool play, earning a spot in the power pool with the AAAA Lakers and the Brookswood Bobcats of Langley. The Brookswood match was a very scrappy back and forth affair with hard serves from the Bobcats and hard-hitting attacks from the Panthers, who won 25-16, 25-12. The Panthers started off slow verus Pen-Hi, and were down 7-2 in a hurry. “With a time-out called to regroup, and to adjust the plan, we then
came back hard and found ourselves up in the game 16-11,” said Becker. “This was the momentum needed to continue to brush back the Lakers with big blocks from all our front row players. We then went on to win set one 25-16, only to find the next two sets very tough, and a third set loss of 17-15, finishing second in power pool play.” The Panthers then bounced the Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops 25-17, 25-21 in the semifinals. VSS were ready for a very tough final match, and after falling behind 15-8, Becker called a time-out. “The girls went back on the court to play the game they knew they could,” said Becker. “With a few quick points up the middle, and some big hits from the back row, we soon found ourselves back in the game, at 16-16. Only allowing Pen-Hi to get three more points, the game ended 25-19, with 6-foot-1 middle hitter Ashtyn Mackenzie’s big kill from power to win the game and set the tone for set two.” The Panthers entertained the Fulton Maroons Tuesday night.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Generally, you are a rather prudent and cautious person when it comes to your financial affairs. Know now that the day could tempt you to take some unwise financial risks. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Don’t let your ego dominate your common sense in ways that make you feel that you’ll lose face if you aren’t No. 1 at all times. Overwhelming pride is self-defeating. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Although normally your intuition is exceptionally reliable and can be helpful in giving you great insight, pride could override it and lead you far astray. ARIES (March 21-April 19) It’s nice to do someone a favor, but be careful that you don’t unwittingly let it take money out of your pocket, unless, of course, the recipient is someone near and dear and you don’t mind doing so.

together or deciding an important issue with another will weaken your position, not improve it. Give your ideas the time they deserve. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Taking on an assignment that is way over your head is not only downright foolish, it could be harmful. You might end up having a tough time crawling out of the hole you put yourself in. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Once you start to point out the faults of your friends, no matter how well intended you are, your popularity might take a huge hit. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) If your tastes are totally different from your mate’s, it’s best not to make any expensive purchases without the input of your better half. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Think before opening your mouth, especially when making an appraisal of another’s efforts. If you can’t be tactful, don’t say anything at all.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder ANOTHER CHANGE, ANOTHER DIFFERENCE Edward Elgar composed the “Enigma Variations.” There was a central theme with 14 variations, each being a musical representation of one of his close friends. This deal is an enigmatic variation of the ones in my last two columns. In those, dummy had the J-10-5 of clubs and declarer the A-98-6. What difference does today’s small change to the clubs make to South’s fortunes in three no-trump after West leads the heart seven, East puts up his jack, and declarer wins with his king? South’s hand was a textbook strong no-trump. North was justified in using Stayman to try to find a 4-4
spade fit; hearts might have been a fatal flaw in no-trump. Of course, here South showed only two or three hearts when he denied a four-card major, making that heart problem more acute; but there was nothing North could do about it. Note South’s play of the heart king at trick one, leaving West uncertain about who holds the queen. It is almost always correct to play the top of touching honors from the closed hand. It makes a big difference that South has only one high club in the dummy. He must vary his approach. After the spade king and a spade to the jack, he plays a low club to his jack. If West wins and shifts to a diamond, declarer calls
for the ace, runs the club nine, repeats the club finesse, and gets home. What’s the problem? A genius sitting West does not win trick four with his club queen. Then, with this layout the contract must fail. And if you know anyone capable of that play, sign him up as your partner.

With deep sorrow we announce that Bob Catlin passed away peacefully, with his wife at his side, at the Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria, following surgery for cancer. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Sharon Doherty, children Jill (Derek) Catlin, Julie (Brad) Wyse, and David (Cassandra) Catlin, step-children Gina Denis, Alex Denis and Jessica Dafoe, grandchildren Olivia, Ivy, Rosemary, Maggie, Libby, Luke, Jesse, Gabriel, Xyrah, Angel and Dylan, his brother Ted (Sheila) Catlin, and Lois Catlin, mother of his three children. He was predeceased by his parents, Harold and Irene. Born in Winnipeg, Bob graduated from St. George’s School in Vancouver in 1963. He and his family eventually settled in Vernon where he worked as a Chartered Accountant before taking on the role of Vice President of Finance at Rogers Foods. He was especially excited by the opportunity to oversee the construction of the new Rogers mill in Chilliwack. Bob loved to teach himself new things and over the years tried his hand at interests as varied as boat and plane building, making musical instruments, baking bread, getting his pilots license, making wine, drawing, painting, and computer programming. He never stopped learning and was particularly interested in politics and history, especially World War II. Bob loved the ocean and was happy to be able to spend the last few years of his life in Victoria enjoying the beautiful beaches of Vancouver Island. Bob had a deeply felt and personal faith in Jesus as his saviour. He was a principled man who looked to the heart of a matter and followed the truth as he saw it. Bob’s children will remember him as a fair, compassionate, generous and spontaneous father who always thought for himself and taught them to do the same. A memorial service to celebrate Bob’s life will be held on Sunday, September 30, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. at Paddlewheel Hall, 7801 Okanagan Landing Road.

Premier’s chief of staff hands in resignation TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Ken Boessenkool, Premier Christy Clark’s
chief of staff, has resigned after eight months in the premier’s office.
“Earlier this month I was involved in an incident where I acted i n a p p r o p r i a t e l y ,”
Boessenkool said in a resignation letter released by the premier’s office Monday
morning. “I was wrong, regretted my behaviour very much and immediately and uncondi-
tionally apologized. “Notwithstanding my genuine apology and sense of regret, and

following my meeting with you earlier today, I tender my letter of resignation as your chief of staff effective immediately.” Clark has appointed Dan Doyle, chairman of the BC Hydro board of directors, to serve as acting chief of staff. Clark told reporters in Vancouver she can’t comment on the circumstances that led to Boessenkool’s departure, because of privacy laws that apply to all employers. She said she heard about an incident two weeks ago and after it was investigated, she asked for his resignation. There has been no suggestion of any criminal conduct, Clark said. In his letter, Boessenkool said: “This will give me a chance to return to Calgary to be with my family – who I have also let down – and from whom I have been separated on a weekly basis for most of the last eight months.” Boessenkool was hired by the premier’s office in January after serving as a senior adviser to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. He replaced Mike McDonald, who moved to a senior staff role with the B.C. Liberal Party. In recent years Boessenkool has worked for consulting firms Hill and Knowlton Canada and GCI Group Canada. The federal lobbyist registry shows a long list of former clients, including pipeline company Enbridge Inc., oil sands producer Suncor Energy Inc., mining giant Rio Tinto, the Bank of Nova Scotia and TASER International Inc. Boessenkool also formed a group called the Alberta Blue Committee, devoted to maintaining a united right in a province where the upstart Wildrose Alliance Party has challenged the Progressive Conservative dynasty.
