Public tips sought after body found ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP are asking the public for help as they investigate the discovery of a man’s body near Polson Park. Police were called to the Polson Park fountain, near the intersection of 25th Avenue and 32nd Street, by ambulance personnel at 9:40 p.m. Wednesday for a report of a “man down.” “When police arrived, it was discovered that emergency health services had found the middle-aged man deceased,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk Thursday morning. “The man’s body was found near the fountain, but not in the fountain.” The man has been identified as a 47-yearold Vernon man that officers have had contact with over the past several months. Police officers have not ruled out foul play at this time and the serious crime unit has been called in to assist in the investigation. “No immediate cause of death is obvious at this time and police are working with the coroners service to have an autopsy conducted as soon as possible,” said Molendyk. “Several family members have been contacted by police, and several witnesses have come forward to speak to police.” Anyone with any information on the death, or who may have seen the man lying near the park bench Wednesday evening, is LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR asked to call the Vernon RCMP detachment Police block off a section of Vernon’s Polson Park after a body was discovered near the fountain on 32nd Street Wednesday night. at 250-545-7171.

Sawatzky believes it’s reasonable for municipalities to apply pressure on Ottawa. “We’re responsible for crime and policing and this results from federal policy,” he said. A strong push for decriminalization has also come from Enderby.

“If we can reduce crime, it’s worth looking at,” said Coun. Brad Case. The resolution approved by UBCM delegates was brought forward by the District of Metchosin. “For too long, our communities have borne the brunt of the harmful consequences of cannabis prohibition, from increased gang violence on our streets to enormous costs of enforcing a thoroughly discredited policy,” said John Ranns, Metchosin’s mayor. “This vote result signals that it is time for our senior levels of government to listen to what the public and now our municipal leaders are saying: cannabis prohibition has been a failure.”

Minister may ease up on farm regulations RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan farmers could be thrown a lifeline. Local politicians urged Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid Thursday to ease up on provincial meat processing regulations. “She indicated it is a top priority,� said Patrick Nicol, Regional District of North Okanagan chairperson. During the session at the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference in Victoria, MacDiarmid was updated on the current plight of farmers. “The policy has devastated the single-family farm in our region,�
“The social and economic impact is devastating.� — Rick Fairbairn said Nicol of the processing rules which came into place in 2007. “If we’re going to feed our people, we won’t be able to do it because once the farms are gone, they are gone.� RDNO wants the government to issue class D and E meat inspection licences so on-farm slaughtering can occur.
There has been previous suggestions that such licenses could be issued to North Okanagan farmers but that never occurred. Responsibility for licensing may shift from the Ministry of Health to the Ministry of Agriculture. It’s also been suggested that slaughtering for farm-gate sales
could eventually be exempt. The number of North Okanagan producers has gone from 1,200 to 300 since 2007. “The social and economic impact is devastating,� said Rick Fairbairn, rural Lumby director. The local poultry industry, alone, has lost about $1.4 million. “That’s a lot of money in our region,� said Nicol. RDNO directors were joined by Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster during their meeting with MacDiarmid. “He’s done a tremendous amount of work on our behalf,� said Fairbairn of Foster.

Enderby politicians are trying to keep transportation matters on the front-burner. Council members met with Transportation Minister Mary Polak at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Victoria Wednesday. The primary focus was recent upgrades to Highway 97A through the community. “There are some loose ends to tie up. There were some cost overruns,” said Coun. Brad Case. “We want to understand what our costs will be.” Brad Case Council also spoke to Polak about the long-term alignment of Highway 97A to alleviate traffic congestion. While a bypass has been suggested, Case admits that could be difficult as the growing community means there isn’t a lot of land available. “It’s a very tight corridor and we need to work with the Splatsin First Nation on this,” he said. “We hope the ministry will keep them in the loop.”

The Save on Foods manager has been camping out on the roof for five days and nights now, in an effort to raise 12,800 lbs of food for the Salvation Army. So far, approximately 4,000 lbs of food have been collected. “We raised 1,600 lbs Wednesday alone,” said Tennant. But more collections are needed to bring Tennant out of the cold and back home to his warm bed. “It was mighty cold up here (Wednesday) night,” said Tennant, who is hoping for some warmer weather.

he can to support the cause. Kelly Kedrosky, VGC marketing manager, camped out Monday night and is planning on camping out again this weekend. The support so far has been great, said Kedrosky. “There’s lots of people waving to Jim and talking to him, seeing if he needs anything,” she said, adding that if the numbers keep doubling, as they have been, he could be down by Monday. “We even have a collection kettle and it rings a bell and let’s him know when there’s a donation.” The community is urged to stop by the store in the Village Green Centre and help bring Tennant down with donations for the Salvation Army Food Bank. The rooftop food drive is part of the Village Green’s effort to raise the most food through the Bentall Kennedy Canada Fare Fight for Food challenge. Competing against 16 shopping centres across Canada, if Vernon’s mall raises the most food, Bentall Kennedy (which owns the Village Green Centre) will give $10,000 to the Vernon food bank. The Village Green Centre currently sits in third place for the amount of non-perishables collected and this rooftop food drive is hoped to help bump it up to first.
Landing motorists experiencing delays Morning Star Staff
Motorists should expect some delays on a busy Vernon route today. Contractors for City of Vernon are installing a drainage pipe across Okanagan Landing Road, near Okanagan Avenue, as part of a flood protection project. “The project will result in delays to local traffic, with single-lane alternating traffic on Okanagan Landing Road,” said Mark Dowhaniuk, the city’s infrastructure engineer. The work began Thursday. Motorists are asked to obey construction signage, flag person’s directions and posted speed limits through construction zones.

There are winners and losers when it comes to help from taxpayers. Vernon council has approved property tax exemptions for three non-profit organizations while four have had their requests denied, and one group
will be reconsidered. “A few are doing similar things and you have to wonder why one and not the other,” said Coun. Patrick Nicol of the difficult decisions that have to be made. Receiving 100 per cent exemptions are the Vernon Community Land Trust Society’s Ukrainian Village, the
Salvation Army’s 24th Street store and the Royal Canadian Legion. “Any organization that served the country during the world wars receives 100 per cent,” said Nicol of the legion. The groups that have been turned down are the Okanagan Science Centre, the Elks Club lodge, the
Kindale Developmental Association and the We Care Community Alliance Association. The finance committee had recommended that the Vernon Minor Football Association not get a 100 per cent tax exemption. Council will reconsider whether a 50 per cent exemption for rec-

The Bieber of politics
T
he knives are out and the carving has become a bloodbath –– and I’m not talking about the latest horror in the cineplex. The American presidential election and all of the pundits who have nothing nice to say have not only become fodder for Fox News or CNN, the message they espouse is finding its way into pop culture –– and I’d wish it would go away. Don’t get me wrong, there’s room for politics in music and art –– just look to the songs of Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan or the rap of Lupe Fiasco –– but nowadays, those politicians who try to appeal to a younger generation by being “hip” just make my eyeballs ache. Case in point: Celebrity gossip show Entertainment Tonight recently ran a story on how Republican presidential candidate Mitt Kristin Froneman Romney’s wife, Ann Romney, loves the TV show Modern Family. The media and political campaigners were smacking their lips on how a Mormon and staunch conservative would love a show that tells the tale of a modern-day family that includes a gay male couple who adopt a young girl. My thought was that’s nice, but who cares. Now what’s your take on same-sex marriage, lady? And why is it every time American “journos” talk about Michelle Obama they have to mention what designer she is wearing. Ya, she looks good, but what is her husband going to do about the mission in Afghanistan and the joke that is free trade with our country? The politician, or his/her spouse, as a celebrity figure has gotten out of hand. And it’s not just in America. It’s happened in our country and it’s about to happen again. Whether he was giving the finger to detractors on a train passing through Salmon Arm, or showing up at a gala with Barbra Steisand on his arm, our late PM Pierre Elliott Trudeau
AT RANDOM
was more than just a politician. He tended to show up on the pages of celebrity magazines as much as he did in the news pages. I don’t think this was his choice, but nonetheless, photographers still gobbled up his every move on the dance floor. There’s even a site on the Internet detailing all of the women Trudeau dated after his marriage to Margaret Sinclair. (And it’s quite the list. Rumour has it that Bianca Jagger was one of them.) Speaking of Margaret and (Mick) Jagger. Who could ever forget her tryst with The Rolling Stones?? The Trudeaus were the Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, the Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, of their time. And now we have their kin, Justin Trudeau, heading in the same direction. Yes, Canada is about to have another celebrity named Justin (groan). Let’s face it; Justin is, how do I put this, hot. And now that he has announced his candidacy for the federal Liberal party, it should be a real dog and pony show. Expect to see Justin’s gleaming mug on eTalk, hosted by another former prime minister’s son, on your TV set in the near future. Pretty soon we’ll know what shampoo he uses, who his favourite band is, and what his wife is wearing when they walk up the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival in the pages of Hello! Magazine. And hopefully when warrior woman Marg Delahunty (a character comedian Mary Walsh invented when she was on This Hour Has 22 Minutes) comes after him, and she will, he’ll not run for the hills as Toronto’s shamed mayor Rob Ford did. He’ll lap it up. It’s good for the image, y’ know. And politics should offer a little entertainment once and a while. But really, I think it’s time we get down to some serious issues when it comes to the state of our union, don’t you think? And this is coming from an entertainment editor. My take, put the politician as celebrity at the back of the Inside Edition and showcase what they really think, not what they wear.
It’s unlikely that B.C.’s mayors, councillors and regional district directors took a call for marijuana decriminalization lightly. After all, addiction to drugs has had a devastating impact on individuals and families. For many, abuse has resulted in pain and tragedy. However, civic leaders are demonstrating leadership by questioning current legislative and enforcement policies. For those residents who pursue pot recreationally and have one or two plants, they are lumped in with gangs and hardened criminals who prey on the weakness of others. Most B.C. communities, including in the North Okanagan, have experienced the violence associated with criminal organizations. It is municipalities, through their taxpayers, who are left struggling with the increasing cost of policing. Large-scale grow-ops also create a significant health risk for residents living nearby as well as emergency personnel who respond to the scene. Kevin Acton, Lumby’s mayor, says there is no choice but to reconsider marijuana laws. “We want to put control in the hands of regulators. By being illegal, we keep activities underground,” he said. It should be pointed out that demands for regulating marijuana come from officials from communities big and small, urban and rural. They can’t be simply dismissed as radicals. On top of this, calls for decriminalization have come from the Health Officers Council of B.C., four former mayors of Vancouver and four former B.C. attorneys general. Hopefully, the federal government will take notice of the rationale debate in B.C. and consider the possibility that current laws may not be working. Ottawa must join the conversation.

Proud member of organization
I
n 1999, I was invited by Kelly Camalush to join a band of brothers — 30 volunteers of the Okanagan Landing Volunteer Fire Department — to serve my community. Being a business owner in the Landing, I felt that this was my calling and my duty to the area to put back as they say. I had always been a volunteer, being there for my kids with Cubs and air cadets. Finally, I was able to do something selfish — something for myself, something I could be proud of. You may not know what it is like to be a member of the Okanagan Landing Fire Department and things have changed since its incorporation into the City of Vernon in 1993. We (I still count myself as one of them) initially were established in 1975 to provide fire protection to an area outside of the city. In 1993, our area was included into the city and our "rag-tag" group was invited to provide fire protection service to the Landing as a contractor, which we have done faithfully with excellent service up until the present. We continued to practice every Tuesday night and on weekends to hone our skills without remuneration as our practice pay always went back into a fund to give back to the community. Whether it be the annual Halloween fireworks or the Landing Regatta and others, we were glad to be of service. These 30 guys did not join to become volunteers for the City of Vernon. We joined because we felt we had a responsibility to the citizens of the Landing. Some will say that the Landing is part of the city but it's not. We are the "other" guys and we are proud of our tradition and history. LANDING FIREFIGHTERS I have been reading with interest the issues with the Okanagan Landing Volunteer Fire Department. Brothers, I experienced this same issue when I was hired as a paid firefighter in 1971. At the time our department employed 28 paid firefighters and 80 volunteer firefighters (there were 120 paid firefighters and 30 volunteers when I retired 29 years later). Of the original 28 paid firefighters, approximately 20 had been volunteers on our department. Yes, there were issues then, much the same as we see with the OLVFD today. There were those that did not want to see their volunteer association weaken with a reduction in members. There were those that held grudges because they had been there much longer than the young newly hired paid firefighters. Officers were now stationed in
R
#
their volunteer hall. Yes, there were changes and many of the future paid firefighters came from the volunteer ranks. As time would prove, the training the volunteers received was more comprehensive. New and exciting methods of fighting fires and new modern equipment were brought on line and all of the volunteers were included in this education. Many of our volunteers were highly regarded and recruited by other departments for paid positions. We often complained that we had spent the time and money to train these firefighters and then watched with pride as they went on to other departments and rose through the ranks some becoming chief officers. The firefighters with the OLVFD should look at the present situation as progress not a reason to complain and run down other

as you will be regarded by many as being someone who would not work with the team and someone who picked up his gear and went home sulking. You are all better than that. Jim Mellors MAD MOM A thief came on to my deck and stole my son's bike and my round metal table which it was locked too. I just wanted you to know you that you stole from an outstanding member of the community. Coltan has a severe speech delay but that doesn't stop him from volunteering with the Vernon Vipers. I hope you needed Coltan's birthday bike (which I had bought last year) more than he does. You probably looked real cool pushing a bike and carrying a table that is attached to the front tire of the bike. Shirley Boomer

brothers in the fire service or other departments. Yes, the volunteer association may change or perhaps they will merge with the rest of the area volunteers and join their brothers in the proud tradition of volunteers. That will be a decision they will have to make. If some of your members however carry out their threat to resign (in essence strike), this will only show that they are not really and truly dedicated to the safety of the people they protect. It will only show they are not worthy of our praise as they are afraid of the future, insecure in their position, and selfish in that they only want to protect their own popularity or perceived importance in the community. Remember, once you draw that sword, you had better be prepared to use it and suffer the consequences of your action. All of the hard work and risks you have gone through will be lost

I'm not quite sure how there can be a savings of $60,000 per year by not having us as a contractor as reported by Chief Green when you take the following into account: As per our previous contracts, we maintained and built our buildings, supplied and maintained our equipment and provided emergency services to our area. Since our last contract, the Vernon department initiated a dual response system, whereby they came to the Landing emergency calls to assist. It's something that had never been required for the past 30 years. This dual response often would leave their hall short of staff for the rest of the city and the paid, off-duty members would need to be called in on overtime. This system eroded
to the point where the Vernon department was called to every Landing call and our members were only called as backup. Out of our annual contract of between $250,000 to $280,000 (which was supplemented by an additional tax to Okanagan Landing residents), $50,000 was set aside by the City of Vernon for new equipment replacement. That grew to over $500,000, part of which was used to purchase a new water tender for the Landing. It now proudly sits in the city's downtown hall while they decide which location it will best suit. You can bet that it won't ever be operated by a Landing member. One last point, the powers-that-be, through the City of Vernon, have implemented a computerized training program the Landing members are required to complete to a level of proficiency as if they were full-time, paid staff. This requires that these volunteers put in their regular 40-hour-per-week job-related work, plus additional computer training on their own time. This leaves little time for truck pumping and fire skills training which leads to an erosion of their actual fire training proficiency. The mayor says that this will not be revisited and that it is a done deal. That will be the end of the Okanagan Landing Volunteer Fire Department. I will always be proud and stand tall because I was part of that group and will carry on that history to all that will listen. Len Ganz, Past member of OKLVFD

The Mara Mountain lookout is being restored for recreational activities.
Historic lookout restored Morning Star Staff
A North Okanagan landmark is being preserved for future generations. The Ministry of Forests is restoring the Mara Mountain forest fire lookout to expand local recreation opportunities. “The restoration of the lookout is creating local jobs, and once it is complete, will further enhance tourism opportunities,” said George Abbott, Shuswap MLA. Initial restoration and upgrading of the existing lookout structure has begun and is expected to be completed mid-October. This restoration has generated significant interest from local community groups and organizations, including the Kingfisher Historical Society. The B.C. Forest Service first constructed the Mara lookout in 1925 and the current structure was
“The restoration is creating local jobs.” — George Abbott built in 1950. It was used by the Forest Service until 1998. Forest fire lookouts played a role in the early detection of wildfires until they were replaced by new technology, improved public reporting and aerial detection. Lookouts provide recreation/tourism opportunities year-round with hiking and ATV use during the summer and cross-country and snowmobile activities in the winter.
Turkeys and fixins needed Morning Star Staff
Greater Vernon residents can help ensure those less fortunate have a Thanksgiving to celebrate. The Upper Room Mission is currently seeking assistance for its Thanksgiving meal Oct. 8. “If there is anyone wanting to know how they can partner with us, they could donate a turkey, potatoes, frozen vegetables or disposable dishes,” said Lisa Froom, general manager. “Every little bit helps and we would be most appreciative.” There are enough volunteers to help prepare and serve the meal. The mission provided a Thanksgiving meal to 179 people last year. For more information or to donate, call 250-549-1231 or drop by the Upper Room Mission at 3403 27th Ave.

personnel and their support crew cycling 1,000 kilometres over 10 days around B.C.’s Southern Interior region, helps raise money for the Cops For Kids charity. “The last count on the ride we were at $215,000, which is $25,000 above last year,” said Vernon RCMP Supt. Reg Burgess, who served as part of the support crew on the annual trek. “It was a tremendous year for us. We had lots of support throughout the South East District.” Money raised through special events such as ball and golf tournaments, the riders themselves and private donations are still being counted. All the money raised stays in the Southern Interior communities, including those in the North Okanagan region. “It was the best weather we’ve ever had,” said Burgess, who has now been on five Cops For Kids tours. “I think it rained twice in the 10 days for about 15-to-20 minutes both times. It was beautiful riding weather. “We had no close calls. The drivers were all respectful of the riders and we had lots of honking and waving.” Among the rid-

on the tour, which, this year, was highlighted by the riders getting to meet more than 20 of the kids and their families Cops For Kids have helped out. “It’s a great, great ride for such a good cause, and really positive, especially for the law enforcement officials,” said Lane. “We deal with things that, sometimes, are not bright and cheery, then you go on something like this. It’s unbelievable. “Meeting the kids was so cool because lots of the riders don’t necessarily know their stories, so it’s great to meet them and see how we help them out.” In the past, Cops For Kids has helped
North Okanagan children and their families with such things as specialized chairs or equipment to help with severe disabilities. Lane also earned some bragging rights on the tour, winning the King of the Mountain title, in which some of the riders raced up the gruelling Paulson Summit on Highway 3 in the Kootenays. “That (title) and a quarter get you a telephone call,” laughed Lane. “Actually, there’s a (police) dog member out of Penticton. He’s a cyclist and spends lots of time in the saddle, so I’m holding that over his head like crazy.”

Boaters on Okanagan Lake will find a new feature off shore from Vernon. Environment Canada has installed a buoy in the Cameron Point area (latitude: north 50 degrees, 12 minutes, 26.9 seconds; longitude: west 119 degrees, 26 minutes, 10.2 seconds). “The purpose of the buoy is to measure evaporation off Okanagan Lake and is part of the water board’s ongoing water supply and demand study,” said Corinne Jackson, with the Okanagan Basin Water Board. — Jackson “It helps us better understand the valley’s water supply, how much we have, where it goes, etc.” The buoy was previously located at Carr’s Landing in Lake Country. RCMP received some phone calls last summer regarding flashing lights emitted from the buoys. Some people thought there was a boater possibly in distress. “The buoys include a flashing light that emit five flashes in 15-second intervals,” said Jackson. For more information, go to www.obwb.ca/ wsd/data/lake-evaporation.
“It helps us better understand the valley’s water supply.”

Crash Test Dummy brings energy to schools LISA VANDERVELDE Morning Star Staff
When his Crash Test Dummies bandmate asked him why he thought he was chosen to be in the band, Mitch Dorge assumed it was due to his drumming talent. He found out that, although he is a great
drummer he was chosen for the energy he brings. Bracken Insurance Services/The Cooperators brought Juno award winner Mitch Dorge, former drummer of the Crash Test Dummies, to share his message of the importance of positive energy and sound
decision making to high school students in the North Okanagan. “As a rock star and a very charismatic individual, Mitch is just the type of person who can get through to teenagers and make a real difference in their lives,” said Co-operators agent Dale Bracken.
Dorge’s outgoing personality and humour kept the students engaged and entertained during his presentation on drug and alcohol awareness, peer pressure, driving safety, bullying and goal safety at Vernon, Fulton and Kalamalka secondary schools.

Vipers getting a Read on defence GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Jason (JR) Read was brought in to tighten up the Vernon Vipersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defence, and so far he has done just that. Through five B.C. Hockey League outings, the Snakes have allowed a measly 23.8 shots per game, and their 2.4 goals against average is in the top half of the Interior Division. The Viper blueline will be tested tonight (7:00) when Vernon (2-1-0-2) hosts the Prince George Spruce Kings (3-0-1-1) at Wesbild Centre. The Snakes visit the 2-4 Trail Smoke Eaters Saturday at Cominco Arena. Read, who grew up in St. Albert and was living in Calgary when he joined the Vipers as an assistant coach this summer, is a big believer in empowering players to take charge of their game. He is impressed with the poise of Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive corps, led by veterans Brett Corkey, Ryan Renz, Geoff Crisfield and Marc Hetnik. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most impressive thing is the kids are willing to learn and they take charge of their own actions,â&#x20AC;? said Read, 41. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They compete every night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The d-men do a good job and from there you just try to help them with the things they want to get better at, and encourage them on the things theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already good at.â&#x20AC;? Read was the Vipersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; southern Alberta scout while he coached the Calgary Midget Tier 1 Royals for the last few seasons. Not only does he have good recruiting contacts in the region, he understands the mindset of the players making the jump to Junior A. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the players think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to make it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing wrong with having those dreams, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to put in the time and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bottom line, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize what your asset is as a player, your window gets narrower. A lot of the kids that grasp that, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still playing. The ones that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, they fade out quick.â&#x20AC;? Through Readâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alberta connections, the Vipers have a top-four d-man in Crisfield (he coached him on the Royals two seasons ago) and a No. 1 netminder in Austin Smith, formerly of the WHL Swift Current Broncos, in the fold. Said Vipersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach Jason Williamson: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply GRAEME CORBETT/MORNING STAR because JR knew a kid (Smith) who wanted an opportunity, Vipers' assistant coach Jason Read (middle) offers instruction to defencemen Kevin Guiltinan (left) and Bryce Eviston during a so he recruited him to come try out for our team. practice session Wednesday afternoon at Wesbild Centre.

Panther offence swamps Blue Wave Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Panthers scored on their first five possessions and then cruised to a 36-16 win over the visiting Westsyde Blue Wave in high school junior football action Thursday at Grahame Park. Tailback Zac Kronbauer registered two rushing touchdowns (two yards and 15 yards) and returned a punt for another score, all in the first quarter. Kronbauer also added two-point conversions on two of his TDs, while John Garvie added another two-point convert, giving the Panthers a 24-0 lead. In the second quarter, tailback Levi Nicholas took a sweet pass from Garvie 55 yards to make it 30-0. Kronbauer followed it up with a touchdown reception of his own, taking a Garvie swing pass 13 yards. To end the half, Westsyde connected on a nice pass play to close the half. “Considering that this was the first half of organized football for many of the boys, I was very impressed with their execution and intensity,” said VSS head coach Sean Smith. “We had a lot of positives to take away from the game as well as lots of things we need to work on in practice this week. “We just started the junior program two weeks ago, so we are a bit behind in terms of play insertion and scheme.” After a scoreless third quarter, the Blue Wave scored a fourth-quarter touchdown to complete the scoring. “The second half was a good chance for us to get a lot of our new players in to see what they could do. The coaching staff was very impressed with their ability to hold their own. However, we took too many penalties which held us back offensively.” The Panthers (1-0) take on the South Kamloops Titans Wednesday at 4 p.m. (Grahame Park).

WolfPack pounces on Heat Morning Star Staff
The UBC Okanagan Heat fell to the Thompson Rivers WolfPack in the inaugural match of the Big Kahuna B.C. Cup Wednesday, falling in three sets (26-24, 25-23, 25-21), at the Tournament Capital Centre in Kamloops. The most efficient Heat player was secondyear Leo Schober, a middle blocker from Kelowna Secondary Owls, who finished the night with four kills and two blocks.

outsite hitter Riley McFarland (Surrey) picked up the slack and finished with 10 kills to lead the Heat. McFarland also contributed two blocks. Jeremy Kler (Vernon), now in his fifth year, was the team’s best receiver with 70 per cent of his passes being perfect. With several new faces, Heat head coach Greg Poitras has yet to see a preseason victory, but he’s not overly concerned as he tinkers with his lineup, “We played all three sets tough; we just couldn’t find a way to finish. With nine new members on the squad from last year – means that we are still just trying to get the timing and rhythm of each other down at this point in the season,” said Poitras. “I’m not making it any easier as a coach on them, as I continue to try different lineups and rotations – mixing it up out there, as much as possible.” For the WolfPack, Casey Knight (third year, outside hitter, Salt Spring Island) had 12 kills, four blocks and three aces. Newcomer Philip Ozari, (outside hitter, Denmark) added 10 kills, four blocks and four aces. Matt Krueger (third year, libero, Abbotsford) had nine digs. The other two schools in the Big Kahuna Cup are the Trinity Western Spartans of Langley and the UBC Thunderbirds.

UBC THUNDERBIRD ATHLETICS
Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kelsey Halvorson, a defenceman with the UBC Thunderbirds, fires on goal in CIS womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey action against the Lethbridge Pronghorns. Halvorson, 22, is rejoining the team after taking the 2011-12 season off. She is in her fourth year.
Kelsey returns to T-Birds GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
All Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kelsey Halvorson needed was a little time to get some perspective. After three seasons with the UBC Thunderbirds womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey team, the rigors of student-athlete life caught up with the Pleasant Valley Secondary grad. Halvorson, 22, took a year away from hockey to prioritize her goals and concentrate solely on her kinesiology studies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to refocus my academics and refocus what I wanted to do in terms of hockey,â&#x20AC;? said Halvorson, who even considered changing her area of study at one point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if I was there for the right reasons. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard when you go (to university) straight out of high â&#x20AC;&#x201D; school. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 18 years old, so how are you supposed to know what you want to do?â&#x20AC;? Eventually, Halvorsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competitive nature kicked in and she found herself missing the game. She approached the T-Birds and found them more than willing to bring back an experienced blueliner with her skill set. Before her hiatus, Halvorson had established herself as a defensive stalwart on the UBC back end, racking up 17 points (six goals and 11 assists) in 71 career games. She even spent a little time at forward in the last year. Known more as an offensive-type player in earlier years, Halvorson has rounded out her game to become a more responsible player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of changed a little bit; I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m super offensive, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not really stay-at-home either,â&#x20AC;? said Halvorson, who averaged more than three points per game with the Vernon Vixens in the Armstrong womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rec league last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I see the ice, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take it. If not, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make the heads-up play.â&#x20AC;? Kim Coates was a fifth-year player with UBC when Halvorson joined the program in 2008-09, and was recently promoted to assistant coach. Halvorson credits Coates for being a mentor in her freshman season, and for making her feel welcome in the T-Bird nest.
Given Halvorsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understanding of the required balance between academics and athletics, Coates believes she will make an ideal role model for the T-Birdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; up-and-coming players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One big thing about having Kelsey back in the lineup is her understanding of what it takes to play at this level,â&#x20AC;? said Coates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She knows what the competitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a solid defenceman, and she also makes a good first pass. She battles every day and she brings up the compete level and intensity at our practices.â&#x20AC;? Much like Halvorsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renewed mind set, there were some changes in the UBC womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program while she was away. The foremost being a new coaching staff, headed by Graham Thomas, taking over from Jen Rawson, who Kelsey Halvorson resigned at the end last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a brand new coach so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a whole new mentality. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working us hard,â&#x20AC;? said Halvorson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been going non-stop, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been good.â&#x20AC;? Added Coates: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re definitely working hard at building the program. We brought in some good, talented kids that are bringing up the scoring and pushing everyone.â&#x20AC;? Asked if she will be relegated back to rookie status after being away from the program, Halvorson smiled: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did my time already.â&#x20AC;? And just because Halvorson has been away from competitive hockey, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think she has been idle. Along with playing womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competitive division soccer with Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dr. Lee Dental this summer, she was also the top female finisher in the half marathon at the Kamloops Marathon in July. She finished the 21.1-kilometre circuit in one hour, 46 minutes and nine seconds, finishing 10th in the division. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I kind of jokingly mentioned it to my brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriend and she registered and told me to,â&#x20AC;? she said. UBC will open the 2012-13 Canada West regular season with two home games against the Regina Cougars Oct. 5 and 6 at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I see the ice, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take it. If not, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make the heads-up play.â&#x20AC;?
For 40 minutes on Saturday night, it appeared the Kelowna Rockets were going to give their fans a victory to celebrate in their Western Hockey League home opener. The Kamloops Blazers spoiled the celebration with three goals in the third period to win 3-2. Kamloops clipped the Rockets 6-5, in overtime, Friday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attack the game (on Saturday),â&#x20AC;? said Rocketsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach Ryan Huska, whose team led 2-0 after two periods on goals by Zach Franko and Filip Vasko. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the third they came at us and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that push that we needed to have.â&#x20AC;? Despite the losses, Franko said the close games showed the
Rockets are going to compete against the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we showed that this year we are into it,â&#x20AC;? said Franko. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From line one to four and all of our D, we have a good team. Discipline is huge though. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow teams to have as many powerplays as we did in those two games.â&#x20AC;? The Rockets face a pair of road games in Portland this weekend against the highly touted
Winterhawks. The teams play Friday and Saturday in Portland before the Rockets will return home to face Vancouver on Oct. 3 at Prospera Place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Portland is another high-end team,â&#x20AC;? said Huska. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to make sure we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afraid to win. We have to attack games and understand we can play with those teams. We have to learn to win and we have to do it sooner than later.â&#x20AC;?

UPSET OF THE
Chargers walk over the Chiefs 31-17 because they have better cheerleaders. Upset Pick 1-2
Poetic justice for NFL after Monday night debacle as Rams rout ‘Hawks. Upset Pick 2-1
Romo can’t take the heat from Bears’ defence. Cutler not much better. Upset Pick 3-0
Bucs are tough at home, but RG3 has the talent to get it done Redskins win 27-24. Upset Pick 0-3
Canadian fans in Orchard Park farmer fields the 12th man for the everimproving Bills. Upset Pick 2-1
Staying true to my roots... would love to see Buffalo destroy the Patriots. Upset Pick 1-2
Saints’ defence is awful but Green Bay still peeved and won’t be ready for Brees. Upset Pick 1-2

BIG GAME
Big yards in this one. Eli throws for more than 400 yards in this awesome airshow. Giants 34-31
Knowing his starting job is on the line, Vick delivers virtuoso performance. Packers 33-27
Eagles’ nest won’t be friendly to Baby Manning. Injuries hurt champions. Eagles 24-21
Giants have had a good rest & playing well. NY defence will contain Vick and Eagles. Giants 24-21
Pretty much a home game for the Giants, who will return to the Super Bowl at 13-3. Giants 24-17
Love, love, love Eli....not so good on Satuday Night Live, but great on the gridiron. Giants 34-23
Are the referees from the Seattle-Green Bay game working this big game too? Giants 35-20

A $1 million contest that saw several North Okanagan groups compete last year is returning. The Aviva Community Fund returns for year four with $1 million to “insure” positive change across Canada. Aviva Canada Inc., one of the country’s leading providers of home, auto, leisure and business insurance, has announced the return of the Aviva Community Fund competition. The fourth year of the competition is now open, offering Canadians $1,000,000 to lead, empower and support community initiatives across the country. “I wanted to make a difference in my community for all children with disabilities, so how could I pass on the opportunity to enter the Aviva Community Fund?” said Kelly Meissner, idea generator behind 2011 Aviva Community Fund winner Kate’s Kause. After winning $60,000 Kate’s Kause was able to build a fully accessible playground for the entire Elmira, ON., community to use. Canadians can go to AvivaCommunityFund.org to submit ideas that will have a positive effect on their local community. After rallying support from friends, family, neighbours and co-workers, the most popular ideas will have a chance to be funded with the $1,000,000 Aviva Community Fund. The 12 winning ideas in 2011 ranged from a bear rescue facility in Smithers to a creative education youth camp in Quebec, to a skateboard park in Saskatchewan to a senior’s gym in Ontario. Launched in the fall of 2009, the Aviva Community Fund competition has already provided over $2.5 million in funding to 31 charities and community groups. “We help thousands of Canadians everyday and the Aviva Community Fund is an extension of this,” said Maurice Tulloch, president and CEO, Aviva Canada. “Our brokers, charitable organizations and Canadians in general have responded so positively to the fund that we’re back with another $1,000,000 pledge.” New to the competition this year, and within the $1 million in funding, is a specific prize of up to $150,000 for Canadian community groups or charities that support homeless and at-risk youth programs. Canadians can access the competition and vote via AvivaCommunityFund.org and Facebook (www. facebook.com/AvivaCommunityFund). Also, for every ‘Like’ the Aviva Community Fund receives on Facebook, $1 will be donated to a number of charitable partners.

Deliver the North Okanaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best read newspaper to the homes in your neighbourhood.
ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an especially good organizer, especially in promoting and regulating an activity that can promote one of your special interests. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for others to join in. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Although you will be lucky with most of your endeavors, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily be so fortunate in promoting a material interest. Success will come in your intangible affairs. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your hopes and expectations are likely to have some marvelous chances of fulfillment. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let a negative occurrence or down-atthe-mouth friend convince you otherwise. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) This is an excellent day to devote your efforts to matters that could either enhance your financial position or better your career in some way. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be lucky in either case. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be inclined to take a backseat to anyone, which will quickly become evident to anyone who attempts to usurp your authority, no matter how slight it might be. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Go ahead and team up with others, as long as you know they will do what is required of them. However, it would be best if you supply the plan and they furnish the force. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Even though we live in a self-contained society,
when you do things that put the needs of others above your own, you will come out a winner. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Although you might have to contend with a number of disturbing factors, your determination will make sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have little or no influence over your ambitions. CANCER (June 21-July 22) A great way to start your day is to get going on that exercise program youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been promising yourself youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d start. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, at least include something that is physically invigorating in your day. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) This is an excellent day to finalize all those projects youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve left dangling just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attempt to do too many at the same time. Make quality more important than quantity. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Persons with whom you associate will have a strong influence on your performance and the quality of your work. If they are doers, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be one as well.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot ďŹ&#x201A;ashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Challenger upset with appointment ALISTAIR WATERS Black Press
The newly acclaimed B.C Conservative candidate for KelownaLake Country wasted no time in firing his first verbal volley at the man he hopes to unseat in next May’s provincial election.

Conservative
leader John Cummins, who survived a challenge to her leadership from within the party ranks at last weekend’s party convention. Calling himself a “huge” supporter of Cummins, James credited Cummins for taking the B.C. Conservatives to 22 per cent in the polls from just two per cent a few years ago. When asked for his rebuttal to James’ comments, Letnick simply shrugged off the criticism, adding no further comment.

am back in Ottawa for the fall session after a great summer enjoying family, friends and work with the constituents of my riding. Our agenda this session will be to continue implementation of our jobs and growth “Economic Action Plan”, our governments “Fighting Crime Agenda”, and managing international challenges arising in the Middle East. Over the summer I found that most constituents were focused on the provincial political scene which is dominating discussion. There has been some discussion on the new Electoral Boundaries in the riding proposed by the Elections Canada Electoral Boundaries Commission. The commission has made a proposal and now it is up to constituents to comment. The proposed new federal electoral boundary runs straight up Salmon Valley road so those on the west side of the road would fall in the re-named Central OkanaganCoquihalla riding and those on the east side in the re-named North Okanagan-Shuswap riding. The boundary meets the TransCanada Highway to the west of Salmon Arm and runs through to

The next election is scheduled for October 2015 and at that time, the riding names will officially change.

Cruise creates memories Morning Star Staff
It was a once in a lifetime experience for Ted, Gary and over 100 other people from Kindale. A lovely day cruising the calm waters of Mara Lake in the warm sunshine – all thanks to the generosity of Twin Anchors Houseboats. Last year, Twin Anchors donated a houseboat excursion to Kindale Developmental Association as a prize for their raffle. The lucky winner was Kevin Campbell, a Kindale board member. Campbell kindly donated his prize back to Kindale and Todd Kyllo, owner, and Penny Hoban, general manager, of Twin Anchors graciously transformed their gift into four one-day trips to enable as many Kindale folks as possible to share in this experience. “Everyone felt in very safe hands with Malcolm McLeod as the volunteer captain for the four days,” said Cindy Masters, Kindale development officer. “Many of the Kindale people had never experienced being on a houseboat, but the universally wide smiles and shining eyes spoke eloquently of their pleasure.” Kindale staff also went above and beyond to manage wheelchairs and assist people who are unsteady on their feet. “Everyone was safe and comfortable for the whole day.” Compassionate care for people is a hallmark of Kindale and is reflected in Kindale’s newest project, the Lydia Boss Centre, being built in Armstrong.
“The wide smiles and shining eyes spoke eloquently.” — Cindy Masters This two-storey building will not only house Kindale’s program staff, but will also provide affordable homes for anyone in the community with a low income. The seven apartments that will be above the Kindale offices will be fully accessible and safe for individuals, seniors, and families. As is their custom, Kindale will be offering use of their meeting rooms to community groups during business hours and sharing office space with Community Futures Employment Services.

#OWBOY TENOR OPENS SEASON AT CENTRE Woody Holler to yodel for Performing Arts Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11th Birthday Bash
KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Manitobaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;extreme yodellerâ&#x20AC;? and lyric tenor Woody Holler brings his orchestra to perform for the Vernon Performing Arts Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11th Birthday Bash on Saturday, Oct. 6.
Expect some tall tales, operatic highs, and jazz from the saddle when Woody Holler and his Orchestra play the Vernon Performing Arts Centre in celebration of the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11th birthday Oct. 6. Following in the footsteps of Barney Bentallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cariboo Opry from a few years ago and last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Ford Seven Swing and Show Band, Woody Holler is one of many Canadian musical acts the Performing Arts Centre society has brought to town whose sound has a wide appeal. With influences ranging from the crooning styles of Gene Autry and Roy Rogers to the danceable swing of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, Holler describes his musical style as a unique blend of folk and jazz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a heavy gypsy-jazz flavour crossed over with folk,â&#x20AC;? said Holler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of it is old cowboy music, but really varied. We usually have a show stopping opera number, and sometimes some sort of tango.â&#x20AC;? Hailing from rural Manitoba, Holler grew up hearing the songs of the cowboy. Although he was later trained in opera, a sense of belonging and nostalgia held him close to the early western genre. Holler is also known as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;extreme
yodellerâ&#x20AC;? and says he developed his style on the wide-open spaces of the Canadian Prairies, rather than on the Rockies or Alps. His technique led him into the recording studio for an episode of Global Televisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cashing In in 2009. On the folk front, Hollerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut album, Western Skies, was nominated for the 2010 Canadian Folk Music Awards under the category of traditional vocalist of the year, while his opera career, started in 1996 under the name Darryl Brunger, has also led him to concert halls around Manitoba. He often performs as a member of the Manitoba Opera Chorus, and has played roles with Winnipegâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Little Opera Company. With his orchestra, Holler performs a repertoire described as eclectic, fun and fascinating, featuring finger-snapping swing beats, honey-slowed love croons, and, of course that show stopping extreme yodel. The orchestra consists of some of Winnipegâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest folk and jazz musicians. Violinist Richard Moody, guitarist Greg Lowe and Daniel Koulack on double bass add clever arrangements rich with musical ingenuity, said Holler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to find musicians of their quality anywhere, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just an absolute thrill to be on stage with these guys,â&#x20AC;? he said. Woody Holler and his Orchestra perform Oct. 6 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $35/adults, $32/ senior and $30/student and $5 eyeGO, available at the Ticket Seller at 549-SHOW (7469) or visit www.ticketseller.ca Discounts are also available for members of the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre Society.
&ROM 6EGAS TO 6ERNON THIS GAL LIVES THE LIFE OF A CELEBRITY Morning Star Staff
Custom officials must have a fun time when peeking into Bonnie Kilroeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suitcase. Inside, sequined gowns of every colour, feathered boas, platform heels and a few â&#x20AC;&#x153;appendagesâ&#x20AC;? are just some of the work gear she travels with. Kilroe will don some of those dazzling outfits when she returns to Vernon with her Divas: Vegas meets Vaudeville show at the Royal Canadian Legion, Oct. 5. Known for the quickest costume changes this side of Broadway, the Vancouverbased celebrity impersonator and singer (thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no lip lip-synching in this galâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s act) has added to her wardrobe with new outfits for her Dolly Parton, Cher and Lady Gaga impressions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have really been adding to my show both in costumes and content,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I now have a part of the show I call â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;who am
I?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;, where I do a medley of quick impressions with wigs and extreme costume changes and do everyone from Edith Bunker to Britney Spears. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really fun and funny.â&#x20AC;? Her costumes and act, which usually includes 14 different characters, have made quite the impression as seen when she performed on a private yacht in Monte Carlo, Monaco this summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got to fly business class for the first time... How will I ever go back?!,â&#x20AC;? she laughed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been there many times with the cruise ship I worked on, but it was so nice to not have a curfew. I stayed for a week since I travelled all that way and came home with a suitcase full of French tablecloths and lavender and Italian olives and aged balsamic.â&#x20AC;? Kilroe also just returned from the Sunburst Celebrity Impersonators Convention in Florida where she was
nominated for five awards and won two (Best Costume and Most Unique Act). â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was my first time there and it was a wonderful experience with amazing talent and great parties,â&#x20AC;? she said. Kilroe joined fellow celebrity impersonators and look-a-likes at the Golden Nugget in downtown Las Vegas for its Celebrity Impersonators Convention earlier this year. There she came in third for best showcase as Barbra Steisand and Parton. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bring all those characters and more when she returns to Vernon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a surprise where I end up and here I am back in Vernon so I certainly hope I get a full house,â&#x20AC;? she said. Kilroeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Divas: Vegas meets Vaudeville starts at the Vernon legion, 4609-29th St., Oct. 5 at 8 p.m. Advance tickets are $17 ($20 at the door) available at the legion lounge. Call 250542-2696 for tickets and info.

Edwards dives in deep Kathleen Edwards: Voyageur
C
anadian singer/songwriter Kathleen Edwards’ fourth album Voyageur moves her alternative country sound away from roots rock to a ringing indie-pop production. Voyageur, which Dean Gordon-Smith is co-produced with Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), isn’t a happy recording and as such it demands repeated listening to bring deeper appreciation. The album starts out on a soaring ballad, Empty Threat, a wide and pretty song that foreshadows the mood of the rest of the CD. This track’s hopeful air is tinged
STREET SOUNDS
with a wistful and resigned undercurrent that flows into Chameleon/Comedian. Edwards is reminiscent of Emily Haines (Metric) at times; the similar approach to sparse word play and an unforced vocal presence. At this point the album moves into an autumnal atmosphere that lingers on until the end. The personal nature of Edwards’ songs don’t use misery as a muse but are clearly an inspired confessional type. This provides an easy thematic flow – the songs fit together and the atmosphere that hovers over them adds a dark, relat-
Contenders tour announced Morning Star Staff
The Contenders, Canadian legends Valdy and Gary Fjellgaard, are returning for their 12th annual tour of the Okanagan-Interior in support of George Ryga Week in B.C., Nov. 4 to 10. The tour comes on the heels of Valdy’s new album entitled Read Between the Lines, which advocates literacy, and he’ll be performing some of his new material along with the repertoire of favourites from his and Fjellgaard’s two previous Contenders’ CDs, said Armstrong’s Ken Smedley, who is producing the tour. “Gary Fjellgaard never stops writing
songs so he’ll be sure to have some great new tunes along with his vast repertoire that spans over 40 years of recording,” said Smedley. The Contenders will be bringing the North Okanagan leg of their tour to the Zion United Church Hall in Armstrong, Nov. 2 at 8 p.m. Tickets are now available at The Brown Derby (250-546-8221) in Armstrong. On Nov. 4, they will be at Lorenzo’s Cafe in Ashton Creek, east of Enderby. Dinner starts at 6 p.m. with the show at 8 p.m. Reservations can be made by calling 250-838-6700. The men come to Vernon Nov. 9 with
a performance at Okanagan College’s Kalamalka Campus theatre starting at 8 p.m. Tickets are at The BookNook in Vernon. Phone 250-558-0668. For full tour info., visit www.fjellgaard.bc.ca or www.valdy.com.

able appeal. Edwards’ vocal has a soft/strong character. She’s not forceful but she is always concise. The transition from her earlier acoustic-based work to this is a smooth one. In Change the Sheets and House Full of Empty Rooms, she balances the ringing guitars and oscillations with a vulnerable vocal performance that’s both lonely and uplifting. It’s not down time, but someone talking gut-level about private failures in public and creating some haunting songs without over indulgence.

House at the End of the Street
E
lissa (Jennifer Lawrence, The Hunger Games) and her mother, Sarah (Elizabeth Shue), move into a lovely country house that nobody wants to rent because the house next door was the site of a grizzly murder. Unfazed by such macabre interests and unimpressed Taylor & Howe by the neighbours’ apparent desire to bulldoze the house down to increase property values, the mother and daughter go about their business, getting used to their new community. When a young man (the family’s only survivor), who lives in the spooky house, takes an interest in young Elissa, the stakes get raised and the mystery of what exactly happened next door starts coming to light. We say, “See it if you like realistic thrillers about the quietly demented.” TAYLOR: First of all, let me just say, “Welcome back, Elizabeth Shue.” I believe she went AWOL after her fantastic performance in Leaving Las Vegas, having had enough of Hollywood bologna. I always thought she was a talented and pretty lady who seemed to bring a high level of realism to her roles. HOWE: It was nice to see that Jennifer Lawrence can act rather than just running around some forest, killing people in The Hunger Games. She is able to put some emotion into her character, unlike Kristen Stewart who just looks morose all the time, even when she’s meant to be happy. TAYLOR: House at The End of the
REEL REVIEWS
RELATIVITY MEDIA
The Hunger Games’ Jennifer Lawrence stars in the thriller House at the End of the Street. Street is a fine film. It doesn’t offend, it makes sense, but it also doesn’t wow. It’s one of those quiet movies that slips through the cracks between other movies that are screaming for attention. The film is realistic, dark, disturbing, involves nothing supernatural and could be ripped from the headlines. House... skirts the line between “thriller and horror.” HOWE: I enjoyed it. It’s my type of suspense/thriller film, with no cheap startles. Max Thieriot was very creepy as Ryan, the next door neighbour, and there’s no way I’d let him date my daughter. TAYLOR: I enjoyed some of the artistic cinematography in the film, which is the norm for films of this genre. However, at about the 60 per cent mark I started to get bored. It wasn’t the craftsmanship that was at fault,
there just seemed to be a lot of waiting around for something to happen. HOWE: Oh, the suspense was killing you was it? They had to get you to like the characters; to get the viewer to trust everyone involved, then hit you with the truth. Later, when you think you know the end, House blindsides you. But saying that, it’s not anything new. We’ve seen it all before. TAYLOR: At no time was I frightened, worried or otherwise moved by the film. I was only curious. Ultimately, there was a slight payoff in the film, but not until the very end, and not much of a reward for my 90 minutes of curiosity. –– Howe gives House at the End of the Street 3 slices of cake out of 5. –– Taylor gives it 2.5 trapdoors out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Taking the cork off new singles event CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
The dating world has changed and with that the way that people meet each other. “I see singles from their 40s to their 70s who want to meet someone special,” said Guy Bailey, who organizes a variety of events to bring people together. “I think it’s important for people to be doing some activity. It brings together people with similar interests and gives people a chance to try something in a group that they might not do on their own. “There are so many great things in the Okanagan — wine, skiing, golf, riding, bowling, hiking, boating, theatre, the list goes on.” Bailey, a self-confessed romantic who thinks there is someone for everyone, is doing his best to make sure they have a chance to meet. He has done speed dating and other social events and finds people like it best when they are doing some activity while having a chance to meet a variety of people. “It’s more relaxing and non-threatening and doesn’t put so much pressure on anyone. People who are newly single or

My imagination just keeps going thinking about things, like cooking classes, concerts, trips for people who want more time, and I would work with local businesses to organize things that people suggest to me.” He is putting everything together in the Ultimate Social Club to oversee all activities.
“The economy is down but that doesn’t stop people from wanting to have fun and date. Sometimes people who have not dated for a long time don’t know how to date, and going to a group activity is a good way to get used to it again. You may not meet someone right away but at least you did something you enjoy. Dating has changed and the world of communication has changed but people still want that live contact.” Bailey has seen figures which indicate there are about 9,000 single men and 9,000 single women ages 24-64 in the Okanagan. That’s a lot of great people and he aims to get some of them together for happily ever after. “The concept of meeting someone new who is local, and by that, I mean the Okanagan, is exciting. This is really what I do. Why not meet someone? Why not now? What are you waiting for?” Bailey’s Uncorked! A Singles Wine Social for Boomers takes place Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. at Lakers Clubhouse with wine tasting, appetizers, live music and great singles. Advance tickets are $25 per person.

students for individual reading times, is now in all district schools, including a French program at Beairsto school. The Junction Literacy Centre program is also in the Vernon Christian School and the Okanagan Indian Band Cultural School. Jamie Irwin is a parent and volunteer with the program at Harwood school. “When I was asked to take part, I didn’t know much about the program, but I’m glad that I said yes. The program really benefits the kids because we need reading in every area of our lives,” she said. “The kids love it. They are happy to come and can’t wait to learn. You can see throughout the program how well they do and that’s rewarding for a volunteer.” The program has the volunteers reading with students selected by classroom teachers and the schools’ learning resource teachers. These students need to boost their reading skills and confidence and are not receiving any other specialized reading help from school district staff. The volunteer tutors take a one-morning training session and have the learning resource teachers and

The volunteers spend one morning or afternoon a week at the school and see three children for half an hour each with reading material provided. The students read with a volunteer four days a week for the 12 weeks of each program. “It benefits the students to have an adult who is happy to read out loud with them for that time period and it really boosts their self esteem, said Harwood school learning resource teacher Gail Wolanski. “There are so many chil-
dren who could benefit from it but we can only select a certain number. The classroom teachers would like to see more children take part. They see the difference in the self-confidence in reading,” Kathy Wylie is the One To One school coordinator for Harwood. “Each student sees four different volunteers in each session and it is good for them to get to know adults with different personalities and know that adults in the community are interested in helping them,” she said. Justin Russell, nine, a Grade 4 student at Harwood, is looking

forward to taking part in the program again this year. “I like learning the names of all the teachers (volunteers) and getting to know what they like so we can read together. I like to read comics and non-fiction books, like about alligators. I want to try new books this year on different subjects,” he said. “Everyone is nice. I like meeting them and I like to read at home, too.” There are about 300 volunteers active in the program at any time and some have been with it since it started. “We couldn’t do the program without the volunteers. A love of reading isn’t taught, it’s discovered by each child. Reading with an adult who wants to read for pleasure is an important part of learning to love reading,” said Amy Doylend, One To One District coordinator for the Junction Literacy Centre. The Junction Literacy Centre and the One To One program support School District 22’s goal that every child capable of learning will learn to read by Grade 3. The next volunteer training sessions are the first week in October. After training, the time commitment is to a 12-week session with substitutes available for illness or vacations. For more information and to pre-register for the training, contact Doylend at 250-549-2216 or adoylend@junctionliteracy.ca or see www.junctionliteracy.ca.

For three more years, I told him it would thrill me to be approached by him, treated to dinner or have a little gift placed on my pillow â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the kind of things I did for him. I finally convinced him to go for counseling, but my husband wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do any of the things the counselor suggested. In desperation, I told him that if he wanted sex, he would have to initiate it. That was seven years ago, and we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
been intimate since. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t divorce him because of my own physical problems. He says he loves me, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not willing to do anything for me. Any suggestions? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Another Sad Wife Dear Sad: Other than making sure your husband has a thorough checkup, you might consider counseling for yourself. While you cannot force your husband to change, you can work on your own happiness.

THE
campers will feel the pinch. The B.C. Liberal skills training push was partly inspired by last year’s “inequality” protest, after Dawson Creek Mayor Mike Bernier waded into the Occupy Vancouver squat to hand out business cards. They need cooks and labourers as well as pipefitters up there these days, and that’s before the B.C. gas patch goes into a huge expansion for Asian
exports. A version of Kevin Falcon’s “welfare air” idea to move unemployed recipients north was included in last week’s announcement by Clark and her jobs czar, Pat Bell. Called “Job Match,” it’s a $2.9-million pilot program in the Peace region. It will deliver basic education and work boots for people in that region before anyone will be flown up from Nanaimo or Nelson. Cruising along at nearly 50 per cent in the polls, the NDP have also put a heavy emphasis on postsecondary. But they’re still playing to the urban Occupy crowd, with a promise of a tax on banks to fund student grants. Instead of providing loan relief after successful completion, they’re going to hand out money at the front end, just like they did in my student days. My experience as a student, a job seeker and a parent is that free money encourages aimless study, and the selection of courses that are appealing rather than safe invest-
ments. We already have far too much of that, and I think most students today would be better off with a bigger debt and a well-paying job. As the new trades plan was being rolled out (and mostly ignored by the Vancouver media), former finance minister Colin Hansen announced he’s retiring. It was Hansen who started the push for skills training back in 2008, emphasizing that there will be a million new jobs open by 2019, 600,000 of them due to retiring baby boomers. Hansen made a sales trip to snowy Toronto to launch advertising to lure people to British Columbia. That effort is being revised with a series of interprovincial and international trips, because even if all 650,000 high school students graduate and go to work in British Columbia from now to 2019, it won’t be enough to fill all the jobs on the horizon.

The
Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder HOW WILL YOU GO BACK AND FORTH? Kate Moss, a top model from England, said, “I started going back and forth, New York, London, New York, London.” A top bridge declarer, whether playing in New York, London or somewhere else, works at making it easy to go back and forth between his hand and the dummy’s. How is that relevant to this deal? South is in three no-trump, and West leads a fourth-highest heart four. On round two of the auction, South, with stoppers in both unbid suits, looked for the ninetrick game. Then North, with some extras and a good suit, correctly raised
to three no-trump. South needs to establish one of those long suits. But should he work on diamonds or on clubs? The mathematics is clear-cut. The eighth club greatly improves the chance of getting sufficient tricks from the suit. But if South takes East’s heart queen with his ace at the first trick, leads a club to dummy’s ace (the right play), and continues with the jack, West will not take the trick. South will need two hand entries: one to establish the clubs and one to run them. And he has only one left. South has two guaranteed entries in his aces, but only if he wins the first trick with dummy’s heart king.
Then, after the ace and jack of clubs, declarer can play a heart to his ace and lead another club. West cashes three hearts, but South takes the rest. Did you notice that if the heart four is an honest card, hearts must be 4-4 or 5-3, not 6-2, so crossing to the heart ace is safe?
