Farmers harvest abundance of apples A bumper crop has bolstered optimism among North Okanagan orchardists. Apple harvest continues and all reports indicate this is one of the best seasons in recent years. “The apples are looking great,” said Sid Sidhu, with Vernon’s Bella Vista Farm Market. “The cool nights are helping with the colour. There’s amazing colour this year.” While the size of individual apples is down slightly, the overall tonnage is up. “It’s pretty heavy,” said Tom Ouchi, with Ringo-En Orchards in Vernon. McIntosh has been harvested and now galas are underway. Next for Ouchi will be Spartans and ambrosia. “There’s been an early jump on the colour because of the cool nights a few weeks ago,” he said. One BX orchardist is also keeping very busy. “It’s an above average crop. We’re very happy,” said Jeet Dukhia. If there is any uncertainty, it’s over the price this year’s crop will bring. “There’s always hope,” said Sidhu, referring to the fact that Ontario’s crop has been battered by weather and that may hike demand for Okanagan apples. “But growers have thought before that prices would increase because of inclement weather elsewhere and Washington comes through and dumps apples into Canada.” Ouchi is trying to remain optimistic about revenue, but admits so many factors are involved. “If we can’t have good prices in a year like this, I’m not sure how we get good prices,” he said. “This is a year where we should get good prices.” A similar view is coming from Dukhia. “This should be a very positive year,” he said.

Jose Ramon sorts the apples during the final harvest of the royal gala apples at Bella Vista Farm Market in Vernon. “If we don’t make money this year, we never will.” The expected size of the valley-wide apple crop handled by B.C. Tree Fruits is expected to be 2.8 million cartons this year. “Weather and growing conditions have
been favourable, unlike a number of other apple-producing regions,” said Chris Pollock, marketing manager for B.C. Tree Fruits, which markets apples internationally. “We have harvested apples that have a good size, good volume and good colouring.”

After years of discussion, a proposed sports complex is going before voters. Greater Vernon residents will be asked in an April 6 referendum to borrow $8.5 million to construct a track and multi-use field at Okanagan College. “There’s a lot of appetite for it but it’s something the public must decide,” said Catherine Lord, a Greater Vernon Advisory Committee director. “I certainly support sports and it will benefit our youth. It will also provide another facility for hosting events and support the economy.” If approved, the funds would be borrowed over 20 years and the average cost per household could be between $17 and $20 a year. But director Bob Fleming points out that debt from a previous project will soon be retired, and that could impact borrowing for the sports complex. “It may not involve a tax increase,” he said. Director Jim Garlick acknowledges, though, that some residents will oppose borrowing and question the need for the facility. “It’s always a tough sell when it comes to money,” he said. Annual operating costs — about $40,000 — will be identified prior to the referendum. The next step will be establishing a committee of user groups to promote the complex. “We will come up with a plan to provide accurate information to the public,” said Bill Tarr, with the Vernon Minor Football Association. “I’m cautious because we’re asking the public for a fair chunk of change.”

“If the right buyer comes along, then we would consider that.

Leona had a dream, and it’s a beautiful dream,� said McRitchie. “It could be a jewel in the Okanagan.� Financing is currently being put together for the Belago subdivision, which could begin construction in the spring. “The market is not the market it was four

A stalled Vernon development may be moving ahead again. New owners are in place at The Rise on Bella Vista Road and they have given the green light to infrastructure improvements and a feasibility study to renew building activity in the Belago subdivision. “We are finally turning the corner and ready to move the project forward,� said Steven Reilly, board chairperson. Construction began at The Rise in 2005 but the property was put up for sale in 2008 because of the economic slowdown affecting sales. The property continues to be on the market, but as part of restructuring, former mortgage holders are now shareholders.
years ago. The city wants more mixed housing uses so we have to make some adjustments,� said McRitchie. The board recently met with City of Vernon council members and staff. “They are very experienced and committed investors and they understand that this is a longterm turnaround,� said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. “They are realists and they realize the market has changed. They will have to commit more money to get their original money out.� Sawatzky is hopeful work at The Rise will proceed. “It’s never good for the community to have a vacant development just sitting,� he said. The Rise board has also met with The Rise Community Association, management of the golf course and local realtors.

Search and Rescue crews haven’t given up hope as they continue to scour the Aberdeen Plateau for a missing hunter. A 52-year-old Lake Country man went on an evening hunting trip Saturday in the Wilma Lake area, but has not yet returned. His vehicle was found in the area, but the man remains missing. “They’re still up there searching,� said Leigh Pearson with Vernon Search and Rescue, which is assisting in the search. Along with an RCMP helicopter and two Police Service dogs, the search includes more than 40 search and rescue members. “They’ve got crews from all over the place, including volunteers from as far away as Princeton,� said Pearson. “But so far, nothing.� The difficulty crews are encountering is the large area. “It’s just a huge area to cover,� said Pearson. “The Aberdeen Plateau is just a maze of roads which can sometimes help and sometimes hinder a search.� This is the first multi-day search Vernon crews have been on this year, but they are optimistic. “We haven’t given up hope, even though this is day five,� Pearson said Thursday.

He was a fan favourite during his three seasons with the Vernon Vipers, and now Aaron Volpatti is lending his name to the organization that helped launch him towards an NHL career. The hard-nosed forward, now with the Vancouver Canucks, will be in attendance Saturday night (7 p.m.) at Wesbild Centre as the Vipers entertain the West Kelowna Warriors in B.C. Hockey League action. As the newly appointed honorary chair of Vernon’s Royal Bank Cup committee, Volpatti will be at the RBC booth on the concourse, greeting fans and signing autographs. Vernon is hosting the RBC national Junior A hockey championships in May 2014. “I’m honoured to help in any way I can,” said Volpatti. “It’s a cool thing they have this coming.” The 27-year-old is currently caught up in the NHL lockout. Despite playing on a two-way contract, Volpatti wasn’t sent down by the Canucks to their AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves, due to waiver issues. Until the NHL and the players’ association come to a new collective bargaining agreement, Volpatti remains in limbo. He trains in Vernon, and skates with the Vipers along with Vernon’s Jerred Smithson (Florida Panthers). Having spent the last year recovering from shoulder surgery, Volpatti knows he needs to play. He hasn’t ruled out the possibility of playing in Europe. “Hopefully I’m not here too much longer, but if I am I can come to the odd game, and whether they want me to sign some autographs or whatever it is I’m happy to help,” said Volpatti. “I’m just kind of waiting like everyone else right now.” Don Klepp, the RBC committee’s communications director, says Volpatti is an ideal ambassador to help promote the event. “It took him about three nanoseconds when he was asked,” said Klepp. “He’s a natural for this because he was such a fan favourite. He continues to spend time in Vernon and practises with the players. He’s an inspiration for the players when they see how hard he works.”

Increased victim aid sought RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The victims assistance program is there for people during tragic circumstances, but local politicians claim Victoria has abandoned the service. Regional District of North Okanagan directors agreed Wednesday to increase the funding available for the program, largely because Ministry of Justice grants have not kept pace with growing costs. “By approving this, this lets the ministry off of the hook,” said director Chris Pieper. “It’s another source of downloading. They should be coming forward with more funds,” added director Eugene Foisy. At the same time that provincial funds haven’t climbed, the ministry has required increased service levels, including coverage in Falkland although it is outside of RDNO. RDNO will demand a meeting with VernonMonashee MLA Eric Foster to discuss the situation. “We need to get Mr. Foster in here so we can say, ‘We can’t be helping other regional districts when we are suffering,’” said director Mike Macnabb. Caseload volume and complexity has also placed pressure on the budget. The full $120,000 requisition, plus $3,348 from reserves, was required for 2012 program funding. Staff had recommended that the service bylaw be amended from the current cap of $120,000 to $200,000 to cover expenses. “It gives enough capacity to fund the program over a number of years,” said Ron Baker, community protective services manager.
“They (ministry) should be coming forward with more funds.” — Eugene Foisy “I don’t want to give the impression that we’re going to spend it all. We just don’t want to keep coming back every couple of years (for approval) to increase it.” However, many board members were concerned about the recommendation. “It seems like a big jump from $120,000 to $200,000. Where there’s money, there’s a use for it,” said director Kevin Acton. Director Juliette Cunningham insisted that $200,000 would undermine any lobbying to get more funds from Victoria. “It will be too late to go back to the government and express our dismay,” she said. In the end, a majority of the board agreed to hike the funding cap, but to $140,000. Another challenge for the program is fewer volunteers wanting to get involved. One reason may be the time commitment. “What we’re expecting from them is a lot – training, being in the office and being on-call,” said Anita Eilander, program manager. Volunteers are currently being sought. Application packages can be picked up at any of the North Okanagan RCMP detachments. Please contact Anita or Stacy at 250-260-7171 for more information.

Macnabb points to two roads being closed in the BX until recent-
ly because they were damaged by high water in the spring and then there were delays with geotechnical work and ordering materials. “A little pre-planning and things could have been finalized sooner,” he said. Director Jackie Pearase is not pleased with current conditions along Ashton Creek, which flooded
in the spring. “It’s prime for more problems for the (adjacent) mobile home park next year,” she said. “It’s a provincial creek and they take no responsibility for it.” Director Howie Cyr believes the province is more interested in regulations than being proactive. “If well-meaning people went down and tried remediation, they’d have more ministries on their back,” he said. RDNO has received $85,501 from Emergency Management B.C. for expenses accrued during this year’s flooding.

Coldstream re-examines plans for agricultural land JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
After being met with considerable opposition, Coldstream has scrapped its original efforts to retain larger parcels of agricultural land. The district had initially proposed to create a 10-hectare minimum for future subdivisions of Agricultural Land Reserve property. Among others, members of the Coldstream Acreage Owners’ Association spoke out against the proposed limitations. With the current land prices and economic
“This is like taking two steps forward and one step back.” — Maria Besso situation, the association points out that many farmers cannot afford to purchase, or manage, large parcels of land. Therefore smaller parcels are sought and also provide opportunities for aging farmers to cut down their work load while giving interested future farms the chance to grow their
own. In light of the concerns over proposed limitations, Coldstream is going back to the drawing board on its agricultural plan. Instead of rezoning lands, Coldstream is renewing dialogue about the appropriate size for agricultural lands – as part of an
upcoming review of Coldstream’s almost 20-year-old Official Community Plan. The recommendation is for each nonfarm use, subdivision or exclusion application to be considered on its own merits and based on a number of factors such as soil capability, land use, topography, utilities and roads, etc. But not everyone is eager to rework the plan. “This is like taking two steps forward and one step back,” said Coun. Maria Besso. “But maybe it’s a necessary step back.”
Besso sticks by Coldstream’s efforts to retain large parcels of agricultural land, as she points out that there aren’t many. “93.2 per cent of the parcels within Coldstream are already less than 10 hectares. That’s a point that wasn’t made clearly enough.” Coldstream’s new director of development services, Mike Reiley, adds: “It is a bit of a dance but I under-

A frosty arrival
A
nyone else feel like they just got ambushed by autumn? It was like Mother Nature turned into a ninja for this sneak attack. Much like I have for the last few months, I woke up early Tuesday morning to go for a run, and was greeted by a warm wind and double-digit temperatures as I headed out on my route along Newport Beach. The sun hadn’t even crested over Stepping Stones, but it was pleasant enough. But come Wednesday morning, the wind was gone, and so was the “surprisingly warm” part. I needed a few extra Graeme Corbett minutes in the sack just to work up the courage to make the mad scramble from my in-laws’ chilly attic (yes, we are still there) down to my dresser. Once there, I upgraded from my standard summer running attire – shorts and light T-shirt – to a long sleeve, thermal-lined pants, toque and gloves. I stopped short of breaking out the Sorels, but the thought did cross my mind. The outside thermometer read 2 C, which isn’t really that cold (running in minus-10 isn’t all that fun, but it is possible), but compared to the weather we have been enjoying these past few months, I felt like Ernest Shackleton heading out on an Antarctic expedition. My 10-minute warm-up was more like a 10-minute hurry-up-and-get-this-stinging-sensationout-of-my-legs ordeal. The abrupt change in the weather has also put me in a state of alert for other reasons. Not only will I soon have to change over to winter tires, harvest the rest of my tomato and pepper plants before they freeze, and doing all the other seasonal tasks most of us face, I am also moving into my new home in less than a month. Yikes. It has been such a long, arduous process
AT RANDOM
that it’s hard to believe we are really going to be moving. To give you an idea of the time frame, we listed our old house in the spring of 2011. It took more than a year to sell, and three more months to find our new home (it looks more like a barn than a house, but we love it). We have had to wait a few more months because there were tenants living in the new place when we bought it, which is an awkward/ unfortunate situation in itself. I mean, you buy a place and the first thing you have to do is serve an eviction notice. Not fun for either party. By the time we settle in, the really cold weather will be fast approaching (it could already be there Nov. 1), which won’t leave us much time to winterize the place, or do any necessary outdoor repairs. I haven’t even decided how I’m going to plow my driveway, which is about seven times longer than my old one. But for all the worries that go along with being a first-time hobby farm owner, I cannot wait to once again have a place to call my own. It is even more exciting to consider all the possibilities there are with owning a piece of land like this. The good thing about it is you can grow into it at your own pace. Maybe we start with a chicken coop, greenhouse and garden and go from there. One thing I am fairly certain of is I have yet to truly learn the meaning of hard work. At a glance, the idea of owning an acreage seems idyllic; romantic even. The reality is I will probably develop callouses in places I didn’t think possible. And where once I looked to spend my holidays traveling abroad, I have a feeling I will now be lucky if I make it as far as the hardware store to buy fence posts. The best part is I’m OK with that. “Start by doing what’s necessary, then what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” – Saint Francis of Assisi
The date has been set and now the hard work begins. First of all good on the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee to get to the stage where a referendum date of April 6, 2012 is now a reality. But that’s just the first step in a long process that one day may see a sports complex, that includes a rubberized track and an artificial turf field, become a reality. However, the $8.5 million price tag is a considerable hurdle to overcome and an information campaign, with the help of user groups and other interested parties, is vitally necessary for a successful outcome. The politicians obviously have to remain involved and be leaders but the public that wants this facility has to be part of the communications strategy. “We need to put effort into it,” said GVAC director Jim Garlick. “From the public, we need to get buy-in to move it along.” And that includes facts and figures about the facility, including operating costs, the needs addressed and why this is a positive location and direction for the future of this community. There is a deadline involved as the Agricultural Land Commission, which approved a non-farm use on the college site, says the facility must be constructed by November 2014. That’s why establishing the voting date was so important so that there’s enough time to build the facility in case of a successful referendum. Initial estimates are that the facility would cost between $17 and $20 per household over 20 years, and a healthy debate can now begin about if such an investment in recreation facilities is warranted or not. The information and leadership required to have an enlightened debate in the community needs to be gathered – beginning today.

Show changed one person's mind
I
've seen two letters now criticizing Bryan Burns for bringing in caged exotic animals to the Interior Provincial Exhibition this year, so I thought I should try to write something about the benefits of such a show. Now don't get me wrong, I do not necessarily condone having such magnificent animals in captivity. I have been to Africa and have experienced the thrill of seeing lions, zebras, elephants, camels and giraffes, among other creatures, roaming wild and free. So my very first reaction when I saw the Xtreme Wild animals in their cages was, "Oh." But my husband and I sat through their show and it changed my opinion. These animals appeared well fed and well cared for. At least two of them were rescued when their mothers were killed. Had they not, they would not have survived. All of these animals in the show have been captive so long, they could not be released to the wild without extensive and expensive rehabilitation efforts. During the course of the show, it became apparent that this was an educational experience presented towards the children but not lost (hopefully) on the adults. Wildlife conservation and environmental issues were discussed. For example, did you know that there are more white tigers in captivity, most of them in Texas, than in the wild? The reason? Their natural habitat is being destroyed
WILD ANIMALS I was looking through The Morning Star and saw a picture of a Siberian tiger and a camel captive at the Interior Provincial Exhibition. This saddened me greatly. Wild animals deserve their freedom. Instead, they are kept in cages being stared at by onlookers. If we could know what these beautiful animals are thinking, it might change the opinion of some people. They must be in great distress as memories of the wonderful wilderness are in their minds. It is far from right to catch such wild animals only so people can stare at them for a few moments. These poor, unfortunate animals spend hour after hour lying around just for the amusement of us humans. I know that if I had the power, I would surely set these poor creatures free. It would bring me great joy to see all of them set free. To watch them walk away and join their own kind

would be wonderful. Unfortunately, I don't have the power to set these gorgeous animals free. What I can do, though, is hope that all you who read this letter stop and think for a moment about how joyful it would be if all of these animals had the rightful happiness of being free and could roam around in their natural environment. What we all can do is unite together in agreement that wild animals should be left alone to have the freedom and the happiness of living out their lives in their natural habitat where ever in the world that is. If we could all begin to agree on this, this world would become a much more thoughtful and caring place. Violet Mobley
Well let's hope we can save money because like Penticton, other municipalities and governments, we are wasting money. Maybe the review will find out why we are always buying properties and then tearing down the buildings and making parking lots out of them. Then the downtown association states they need more parking, but the lots downtown are not full. This is because they are a block off the main drag and people are afraid the leave their vehicles. But as usual, the core review consultant will only to get to interview and see what the mayor and council want them to see with no input from us, the taxpayers of Vernon. A public forum with no municipal staff is what's needed. Garry Haas

nothing to wear. Clark’s handlers want us to believe an equally foolish explanation: "The Liberals will spend the fall meeting with constituents and ensuring British Columbians get to know Premier Christy Clark's new cabinet ministers." Decode their spin-doctored gobbledegook and you get the following: the Liberals will spend the fall and the rest of their term in office trying to get re-elected and won’t have time for anything else. Christy Clark has a pattern of avoiding personal accountability. When she ran in the VancouverPoint Grey by-election, she declined to participate in the all-candidate debates. Now Clark is afraid of questions she might be expected to answer in the Legislature about her dysfunctional government. Clark knows her closet is filled with skeletons and she can’t bare the thought of exposing her own inadequacies. Lloyd Atkins

by man. Most captive animals live longer their their wild counterparts because they have access to medications and do not have to worry about predators. The host asked the audience what the world's most dangerous predator was and the audience answered correctly - man. We are the reason so many of these wonderful creatures are becoming extinct and without more care and attention, future generations will not be able to experience seeing them in the wild, or worse, will not even be able to see them in zoos and wildlife parks. This education needs to be presented to all of us to
remind us that only we, man, can slow down this extinction or perhaps prevent it altogether. The column by Roger Knox in the paper (Extreme love for animals) even pointed to another concern - rodeos. There are some groups of people who wish to have chuckwagon races, bronc riding, and other events prohibited because of a history of deaths of some of the participating animals. What about chickens (not the free-range ones) raised in commercial buildings who spend their entire lives in a small cage producing eggs? What about those wonderful little steers, raised with care and love, who are rewarded by being auctioned off to the market? Do we quit eating eggs, chicken and meat? No, instead we try to change laws to make these animals lives as comfortable as possible. There is no perfect solution here but I don't believe we should criticize Bryan Burns for trying to present something different and educational. I applaud his ingenuity and his "thinking outside of the box" approach to the fair. Was is appropriate for an agricultural fair? Opinions will vary. But I for one appreciated the attempt to educate our children, who are our future legislators and voters, to the danger of losing such beautiful species to extinction. Terri Nicholson

Lake Country wants to bring a major international sports event to the region. Council agreed Tuesday to endorse Kelowna’s bid to host Ironman Canada. “It will get the Okanagan more widely known,” said Mayor James Baker. Baker anticipates that besides bringing thousands of people here for the event, Ironman could lead to people selecting the Okanagan for holidays or purchasing homes here. Council had a presentation from Jim Gabriel, Kelowna’s director of recreation and cultural services, Tuesday. There was some preliminary discussion about Lake Country’s role in Ironman. “If they run a route through Lake Country, we will make sure we give them all of the help needed and the engineering help,” said Baker. “We will select the safest routes and the most scenic routes.”

Kelowna is in the running for Ironman Canada with Whistler and Huntsville, Ont.

MP votes for discussion on controversial motion MARTHA WICKETT Black Press
Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes took the less popular position in a controversial free vote in the House of Commons. Out of 203 MPs, Mayes was one of 91 who voted for a motion that would have parliamentarians study when life begins, or when a fetus becomes a human. Of Conservative MPs themselves, a majority, 87 of 163, voted for the motion. Prime Minister Stephen Harper was not one of those who voted in favour – and this was the first time Mayes has voted against him. The contentious motion was seen by many Canadians in opposition to it as a step
“We need to have a healthy discussion.” — Colin Mayes back for women’s rights and a move towards recriminalizing abortion, but Mayes contends he didn’t have a particular agenda. “To me, what I voted for was, OK let’s have a discussion,” he said. “I’m not afraid of the discussion. Through that discussion, once recommendations come forward – I have my views and might have to make some compromises – I would look at that and talk to
my constituents. I don’t see a problem having that discussion.” He said there is no set term for a limit on when an abortion can be performed in Canada, but in European countries, most are around 10 or 12 weeks. “If there was a decision that came out of the recommendation from the committee that would look into the issue, maybe we need to set a time frame – that you need
to abort before a certain time frame, or whatever. I was willing to look at that in light of what other countries have done.” Mayes says a discussion hasn’t taken place since the Trudeau era. “A lot has changed in science in the last 40 years. I don’t think there has been in the last 40 years, what I would call a formal discussion. Some opinions by various groups have been thrown out there, and the media has played referee to the two opinions. It hasn’t been a healthy confrontation. That was my thought, we need to have a healthy discussion.” Asked if he was representing the wishes

One of the contenders for the federal Liberal leadership may be stopping in OkanaganShuswap. Deborah Coyne, a constitutional lawyer and author, will appear at the OkanaganShuswap Liberal Riding Association’s annual general meeting Oct. 12. Also seeking the Liberal leadership is Montreal MP Deborah Coyne Justin Trudeau. “Both are very credible people,” said Janna Francis, Okanagan-Shuswap Liberal president. Francis expects much of the media attention will be focused on Trudeau, the son of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau. “He will bring some attention to Canadian politics and wake some people up,” she said. “There is some apathy out there about politics.” A new federal leader will be elected in April, and the party continues to rebuild after last year’s election loss, which saw the Liberals place third nationally. “Right after the election, meetings began on how we clearly define what the Liberals stand for,” said Francis.
“There has been a groundswell of support.” The Oct. 12 annual general meeting will be at the Royal York Golf Course in Armstrong, with a wine and cheese social at 6 p.m. Toronto MP Carolyn Bennett will speak at 6:30 p.m.

— Keith Green the challenge. “We hope to reach the people that don’t think or know about their smoke alarms. That is our goal,” said Vernon fire chief Keith Green. The firefighters are going door to door checking smoke detec-
their community. First on their list are homes that are more susceptible to a serious fire, such as manufactured homes, because of the materials they are made of and many of them only have one
way out, and seniors residences. Silver Star Rotary has donated $500 for 60 new detectors and batteries as well as sending out volunteers to help with the doorto-door campaign.

New library dials into Phones for Good program Morning Star Staff
A significant corporate investment has helped open a new chapter of library use in Vernon. Over the last year, for every new smartphone activated at a Telus location in Vernon, $100 went toward helping build the new Vernon branch of the Okanagan Regional Library. Telus recently handed over $150,000 to the library thanks to local support of its Phones for Good campaign. “Libraries, books and technology are the keys that open a world of lifelong learning,” said Steve Jenkins, Telus general manager, Interior South B.C. “This is especially true in opening up opportunities for young people to develop the knowledge and skills they need to fulfill their potential. We thank our
customers in Vernon who chose to purchase a Telus smartphone, while helping fund this important project for our community.” Officials with ORL say they are pleased to have been chosen as beneficiary of this community investment. “It speaks to the vital importance libraries play in our communities, and these funds have enhanced the new Vernon branch, ensuring it is a place where all North Okanagan residents can find the information, entertainment and resources they need,” said said Maureen Curry, Vernon branch head librarian. Funds raised by Telus’ smartphone campaign helped to build the new two-storey, 30,000 square foot library, which serves the residents of Vernon, Coldstream and surrounding communities

in the North Okanagan region. It provides educational, recreational and cultural library resources as well as programs to the public, including children’s storytimes, author visits and school tours. Okanagan Regional Library did the following with the funds: N Better quality equipment in the computer lab N Sound system and digital projector in the meeting room
Relax... your family is in good hands.
N Four 3M selfcheckout stations (this technology is among the highest quality available to libraries) N Wii gaming station and games for youth services N Digital internal and external signage (still in progress). The new building also offers underground parking, a community meeting room and expanded space for resources, study space, computer stations and children’s and teens’
areas. The new library more than doubles the size of the old facility and provides opportunities for North Okanagan residents who made more than 250,000 visits to the branch in the past year. Since 2000, Telus and its 25,000 employees and retirees across B.C. have donated more than $100 million and volunteered 2.4 million hours to community and charitable organizations.

B.C. Conservatives are preparing to head to the polls. The Shuswap constituency association will select a candidate for next year’s provincial election Oct. 20 at 1 p.m. at the Elks Hall in Salmon Arm. “We expect about 200 people there,” said Beryl Ludwig, constituency president. “Party leader John Cummins will also be there.” Seeking the nomination are Maureen Walker from Enderby, Ed Klopp from Sorrento and Salmon Arm’s Tom Birch.
The election isn’t until May, but Ludwig says selecting a candidate now will give them a chance to create awareness about themselves and the party’s platform. Ludwig believes there is a strong opportunity for the Conservatives to take the Shuswap because longtime Liberal MLA George Abbott is not seeking another term. “We’ve sold 60 memberships in less than a month,” she said. “People are really coming on board with the party.” The Liberals have not selected a candidate yet and the NDP candidate is Steve Gunner from Spallumcheen.

Greater Vernon KidSport’s Ann Holmes, Shayne Wright and Doug Ross take a bite out of donated toonies during Jersey Day. The event raised $730, and counting, for KidSport.
Jerseys sported for kids RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
It may have been your favourite hockey sweater or lacrosse shirt. Perhaps it was baseball, rugby or soccer. No matter the sport, Jersey Day was a tremendous hit. A total of $730, and climbing was raised Sept. 28 for KidSport, which ensures all children can participate in organized sports no matter their family’s financial status. “That’s swimming lessons for at least nine kids,” said Ann Holmes, funding allocator for Greater Vernon KidSport. On Jersey Day, people at local businesses and agencies were encouraged to wear a sports jersey for a minimum $2 donation to KidSport. Among those participating were The Morning Star, the City of Vernon, Davidson Lawyers, VantageOne, Vernon Hyundai and Service B.C. “A lot of people were wearing jerseys and there was a great atmosphere,” said Doug Ross, with the Greater Vernon parks and recreation department. Bill Tarr and members of members of the Vernon Minor Football Magnums got into the spirit and toured
numerous offices. “They were looking for local jerseys and if they found one, they donated $2,” said Holmes, adding the team collected $86. Beyond the money, the goal of Jersey Day was to raise awareness. “People realize the difference sports can make in the lives of young people,” said Ross. Holmes says The Morning Star deserves recognition for its role
in promoting the event and encouraging others in the community to get involved. About $40,000 will be disbursed by KidSport this year to cover registrations and other expenses for youth. “We go through a lot of money every year,” said Holmes. It’s anticipated that this year’s Jersey Day won’t be the last. “We will definitely look at doing it again next year,” said Holmes.

Ensuring people can access healthy food is the focus of three local grants.

Recall expands Morning Star Staff
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is in the midst of the largest recall of beef in Canadian history, a recall that covers every province and territory in the country and 40 of the 52 U.S. states. The recall is connected to possible E. coli contamination in beef products produced in the XL Foods meatprocessing plant in Brooks, Alta. The CFIAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recall has affected 1,500 beef products as of this week. See the Canadian Food Inspection Agency website at http://www.inspection. gc.ca/1300991336455 for a full list of recalled products or call 1-800442-2342 for more information. There have been illnesses in Alberta linked to tainted beef from XL Foods, while a number of E. coli cases in Saskatchewan may be linked. No E. coli cases have been reported in B.C. The CFIA is warning consumers to not eat the meat involved in the recall. Stores and restaurants are not to sell or serve the products, which were manufactured at the XL Foods plant on Aug. 24, Aug. 27, Aug. 28, Aug. 29 and Sept. 5.

Kozak cards title KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Conner Kozak surprised himself by claiming his first win as a UBC Thunderbird in his sophomore season. After all, he didn’t play any tournament golf all summer as he “grinded it out in the classroom” at UBC Okanagan with human kinetics courses. And his game wasn’t exactly Rory McIlroy sharp. The break must have worked for Kozak, who was the only player under par in a field of 55 as he won the NAIA Fall Preview men’s golf tournament in Salem, Ore. Tuesday. Kozak, 19, finished at three-under with rounds of 70-71. He made up a one-stroke deficit over the final 18 holes to take home medalist honours, three strokes ahead of Blake Vinson of Texas Wesleyan Rams in Fort Worth. “It was pretty steady,” Kozak told The Morning Star. “I made some putts; that was the main thing, and I kept it in play. I didn’t make any real long putts. They were more mid-range. I was hitting it close to the pins and giving myself that chance.” Kozak, a 5-foot-11 multi-sport star (helped Seaton Sonics win the B.C. senior AA boys volleyball title), went birdie-birdie to start his opening round. “The last couple of weeks were a struggle, but I put in some time in practice on the range. I slowly figured things out and made things feel normal again.” Said UBC head coach Chris MacDonald, on the T-Birds’ website: “We are really happy for Conner. He’s been putting in extra practice time at the Shaughnessy range and was rewarded. Conner has power off the tee and he controls his iron distances well. This week he played a disciplined game and took advantage of the par fives.” Kozak was playing the event as an individual so his scores didn’t count towards the UBC total in the team competition. Still, the Thunderbirds
placed second. UBC finished at 22-over 598 (292306), 19 strokes behind the winning school, Texas Wesleyan. “The five team representatives this week had a solid opening round, but the final round showed that we have room for improvement which is important to see in the fall,” said MacDonald. “Hats off to Texas Wesleyan, they are the best team in the NAIA right now and we have work to do to close that gap”. A total of 10 teams took part in the tournament, which was held at the Creekside Golf Club. TWU’s Nathan Anderson (76-69-145) posted the low score on Tuesday with a 3-under 69 to finish tied for third along Concordia’s Jed Dalton (70-75-145), while Texas Wesleyan’s Dylan Anthony (74-72-146) rounded out the top-five individuals. Three other T-Birds – Scott Malo (Calgary), Conrado Paderes (Vancouver) and Josh Zhang (Vancouver) – were all part of a group of golfers who tied for eighth at 6-over, 150. First round leader Kieran Standen (Edmonton) was another shot back of the trio, tied for 12th place, at 151 (69-82). The Thunderbirds hope to return to Salem in the spring, as Creekside will host the NAIA national championships, May 14-17. The next event for the UBC men’s golf team will be in California at the Sonoma State Invitational, Oct. 14-16 in Santa Rosa. Kozak said the T-Birds have a large enough roster to hold intra-squad Ryder Cup matches for the rest of the winter. He finished in a three-way tie for second place at the Association of Independent Institutions (AII) Conference Men’s Golf Championships last April in Prescott, Ariz. Kozak then tied for 34th in the Canadian University/College Championships in Cordova Bay (Victoria) in late May.

Top rinks like Kevin Martin of Alberta, Jeff Stoughton of Manitoba, Ontario’s Glen Howard and Brad Gushue of Newfoundland/Labrador all reside within the top-16 and should be among a star-studded field in Kelowna. “To have an event like this in Kelowna is big,” said Sawatsky. “As far as the calibre of teams and the play, this area might never see an event of this magnitude again. These are the best teams in the world. The shot-making you will see from these guys is amazing.” The ability of Prospera Place to host a large curling event came down to timing.

Vipers seek turnaround GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
The bar has been set by the Penticton Vees and it will be up the Vernon Vipers to rise above it when they visit the South Okanagan Events Centre tonight. Vernon, fifth in the Interior Division at 2-3-0-2, visits the first-place Vees (7-1) in what should be a challenging B.C. Hockey League weekend for the Snakes. The fourthplace West Kelowna Warriors (3-2-0-2) visit Wesbild Centre Saturday night. “It’s huge; it’s a big test for us,” said Vipers’ captain Brett Corkey. “Playing the best teams in the division, it’s going to gauge where we’re going to end up at the end of the season. I think we’ll be ready.” Vernon is coming off back-to-back losses to the Prince George Spruce Kings and Trail Smoke Eaters. To have a chance against Penticton, the Vipers will need a consistent effort, on special teams in particular. They went 0-for-10 on the man advantage, while allowing five goals on 15 penalty kills. “We were a little let down by the performance we put on last weekend,” said Corkey. “We’ve been a little too lighthearted with the way we’ve been playing. We won some games by quite a margin, and we were a little lacklustre after that. This week it’s a lot more business like.” Vipers’ assistant coach Dave Robinson can relate to the early-season adversity the players are going through. In his 20-yearold season with the Vipers (2010-11), they went 0-2 on opening weekend. “A few people were panicking then, but we came back and beat Penticton twice the next weekend,” he said. “The big thing for us now is to get back to basics. This week we’ve just been working on getting pucks on net. When you have trouble scoring, you just got to get it there and have guys going to the net.” As the defending RBC Cup national Junior A champions, the Vees lost a good chunk of the talent they brought in for the

They have just four returning players – forwards Wade Murphy and Cody DePourcq, netminder Chad Katunar and defenceman Troy Stecher – but they are on a four-game win streak. Corkey isn’t surprised to see Penticton back atop the standings. “It’s like Vernon – once you get that winning mentality it’s easier to keep that going,” said the Calgary product. “You’ve got guys who have a taste of that championship run, so it’s easier to keep that momentum going and they’re doing a good job of that. We just have to match that intensity they’re going to come out with and that desire they have.” Stecher, Penticton’s captain, is always happy to battle the Vipers. “It’s a rivalry that everyone understands and everyone can’t take for granted,” said the Richmond native. “It’s just another two points that we have to take care of.” The Vees shaded Vernon 3-2 in overtime in their season opener at the BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack, and Stetcher believes they can build off that.

“It’s going to help us mentally,” he said. “We’re going to have that upper edge on them. I think they lost two in a row this weekend, so they are going to have some bad blood.” The Warriors, meanwhile, have just one win in their last five games.

Houston has liftoff Morning Star Staff
Darrell (Heavy D) Houston (Nu Floors) didn’t have to throw his final stone in a 4-3 Baron Insurance Super League victory over Sandra Jenkins (De Vine Vintners) Wednesday night at the Vernon Curling Club. The season opener turned into an old fashioned hit game with the teams blanking the first two ends before Jenkins hit for one in three. Houston made the hit-and-roll to the button against three to tie things up in four. The only deuce came in the fifth when Jenkins made a flash takeout. Houston held hammer in the final end, and a long guard went up early so the junk game unfolded and Jenkins’ last stone was light. In the only other game, Jim Cotter (Woodland Equipment) warmed up for this weekend’s West Coast Classic in New Westminster by grounding Robbi Kuhn (North Enderby Timber) 9-3. After swapping singles in the opening two ends, Kuhn delivered a draw to the four-foot for a steal of one in the third. Cotter blanked the fourth and then cracked things open with a four-ender in five. Kuhn made a great hit in six facing four to get a single, but Cotter racked up four in seven to force an early handshake. Mark Longworth and Dave Merklinger postponed their game. There are just six teams in the league this year, down from nine.
SPORTS BRIEFS Hawthorne hot for Flames Reece Hawthorne was spectacular in recording a first-half shutout as the Bannister Flames bounced the Vernon Sharks 9-5 Saturday in Pee Wee House exhibition hockey at Wesbild Centre. The line of Nick Mitchell (5+3), Carter Morris (2+1) and Carly Southam (1+2) sparked the Flames, who got one goal from Callum Leong. Sean Howard (2), Troy Main, Tyson Sampert and Landon Harison replied for the Sharks. The Flames built up an 8-2 lead and hung on to outlast the Stevenson Mechanical Blues 10-8 Friday night at Civic Arena. Mitchell (4), Morris (3), Chase Batchelor, Leong and Southam handled the Flames’ offence. Jacob Brewer pocketed three assists and Isaac White had two. Reid Lawrence scored five times for the Blues, who got singles from Shane Major, Cody Webb and Jaden Stone.
Kapak stellar on long track Vernon’s Connie Kapak won four races in the annual Fall Classic long track competition at the Calgary Olympic Oval last weekend. The three-day event featured all level of skaters from Olympic gold medallists to 13-year-olds like Kapak. Top-level skaters from around the world attended, with Japan taking the most wins followed by Korea and Canada. The format was Olympic Style, two racers at a time, changing lanes to allow for equal distances. Kapak competed in six races and broke another B.C. record, in the 500-metre distance, in 45.6 seconds. “This long track meet is a great preparation for the upcoming week-long Can Am prep camp and competition, to be held at the Oval, Nov. 11 to 18,” said Kapak.
Claggett collects B.C. PGA crown Kelowna’s Dean Claggett of Two Eagles Golf Course & Academy fired rounds of 70-71 to finish at 2-over par and take home the 2012 Cleveland Golf/Srixon Canada PGA of B.C. Club Professional Championship. Claggett, who earned $2,600, edged overnight leader Rob Anderson (69-74-143) of Kelowna Golf & Country Club by two shots Tuesday. After a costly double bogey on the par-three 14th hole, Claggett found himself one shot back of Anderson with four holes to play. After terrific birdies on the 15th and 17th holes, Claggett reclaimed the lead and coasted to the win.
Rockets soar past Giants The Kelowna Rockets grounded the Vancouver Giants 7-0 Wednesday night before 5,064 Wester Hockey League fans at Prospera Place. Madison Bowey and Colton Sissons each scored twice, while goalie Jordon Cooke earned his first shutout of the season, stopping all 28 shots. Sissons also drew two assists. Myles Bell, with his team-leading fourth goal of the season, Filip Vasko and Tyson Baillie also scored for the Rockets, who led 2-0 after two periods of play but blew the game open with five in the third. The 2-2-1-0 Rockets were 2-for-5 on the power play while holding Vancouver (1-4-0-0) to an 0-for-5 night with the man advantage. The Rockets now head to Prince George for a pair of weekend games against the 3-0-1-0 Cougars. The Rockets return to Prospera Place next Wednesday when they play host to the Spokane Chiefs.
Quotable... “Going forward, with expectations in freefall once again, the manager (John Farrell) remains as much a mystery as anything else with the Jays.” – Steve Simmons, Sun Media.

Titans power past Panthers Canadians rally to topple A’s
Morning Star Staff
The South Kamloops Titans used a solid rushing attack to roll over the Vernon Panthers 36-6 in Interior high school junior boys football conference action Wednesday at Grahame Park. The Titans opened the scoring after cashing in on an early Panther fumble to take an 8-0 lead on their first drive. A 90-plus-yard drive later in the first quarter pushed the Kamloops lead to 14-0. “The long drive was a back breaker for our defence,” said VSS coach Sean Smith. “We had them fourth-and-long inside their 10-yard line and they got a first down, which later led to a touchdown. A stop could have changed the momentum.” Levi Nicholas narrowed the lead to 14-6 when he plunged in from five yards out early in the second quarter. However, the Titans responded with a rushing score of their own to make the score 22-6 at the half. “They overpowered us on both sides of the ball,” said Smith. “They were big, strong, well-coached and stuck to what they were good at (running the ball and stopping the run). “We knew they were going to run it at the heart of our dee and we couldn’t stop them. We knew they were going to stack the line of scrimmage on defence and we couldn’t move the ball consistently. Full credit to Kamloops for the win.” The second half saw the Titans cash in two more rushing touchdowns to cap the scoring. The Vernon coaches praised the play of three Panther rookies on defence – Ben Hladik and Chase Larsen did a great job

Pansegrau says this Grand Slam event should be exciting for the building and for the city. “We have a few people in our building that have worked curling events in Victoria,” he said. “But I would say 95 per cent of our staff haven’t worked it. “Its exciting for Kelowna. If we show well and Kelowna supports this event, we potentially could get something like the Scott Tournament of Hearts or bonspiels that are a bigger deal.” Staff at Prospera Place will hand over the controls to the WCT officials, who will

Timing key for Grand Slam schedule The Western Hockey League’s Kelowna Rockets will play at home Dec. 8 before hitting the road and allowing the WCT to move in and take over from Dec. 9 until the event begins on Dec. 12. “What made it work is the timing,” said Prospera general manager Wayne Pansegrau. “The Rockets are on their Eastern swing and there is no conflict with the hockey team. Before there has always been a scheduling problem. It’s been hard to get high-profile curling events in the past.” The Grand Slam of Curling is a weeklong event, while the Canadian men’s and women’s championships go a full two
After losing 6-5 to the Okanagan Bantam Athletics out of Kelowna last weekend, the Vernon Cold Stone Creamery Pee Wee Canadians bounced back with an 11-5 win over the A’s Tuesday night at Elks Stadium. Coached by Rick Leroux, the Canadians are keeping their game skills in tune as they prepare for a Las Vegas tournament in late October at which they will take on older players. “Working on a bigger field and getting the players more comfortable facing bigger players seems to be working as we outplayed and outhit the Athletics,” said Leroux. Keaton Mandryk started on the mound for the Canadians and went four innings, giving up two runs on one hit before giving way to Dawson Chase, who allowed three runs on two hits in two innings. Kaydn Thomas closed out the seventh by giving up one hit and no runs. Thomas moved up to the two spot in the lineup and went 3-for-4 with four RBI. Colton SchaperKotter was 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI in the cleanup spot. Jaden Parsons, Mandyk, Nick Cherkowski, Chase, Zach Orchard and Landon Currie also added hits. The C’s hope to go up against the Kamloops Bantam River Dogs before they head to the 22nd annual Desert Fall Classic in Vegas. Vernon will play games over four days in the 13-14-year-old division.

Opposition pans Liberals’ meat regulations Morning Star Staff
The provincial government’s commitment
to take action on meat processing is under attack.
The Regional District of North Okanagan has been pushing Victoria
to change regulations so slaughtering can occur on farms.
“It’s hard to believe it has taken eight years for the Liberals to finally
admit their meat regulation, which banned farm gate meat sales
across the province, has failed,” said Lana Popham, NDP agriculture critic. Norm Letnick, B.C.’s new agriculture minister, recently stated that addressing the lack of farm gate sales is a top priority. “It’s sad that fixing something the Liberals broke eight years ago has only just now become a top priority, but given the fact that Mr. Letnick is the eighth Liberal agriculture minister we’ve seen in just five years, it’s abundantly clear the Liberals don’t take the agriculture industry seriously,” said Popham. “After spending eight years making it difficult to buy local meat, it’s time the B.C. Liberals admitted their push to shut down small farmers has done little but reduce consumer choice.”

Science series hosts speaker Morning Star Staff
The Science in Society lecture series kicks off its sixth season Oct. 18 with a look at the aging brain and what can be done to keep it sharp. Lara Boyd, an associate professor at the University of B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brain Research Centre, will highlight key discoveries in neuroscience that explain how the brain changes and how its function shapes behaviour. The lecture gets underway at the Vernon campus of Okanagan College at 7:30 Lara Boyd p.m. Tickets are available at the door for $10. Advanced tickets are $7 and available at the Okanagan Science Centre. Boydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studies are among the first to comprehensively examine the patterns of brain activation as they relate to motor learning and parameters of practice after stroke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although we are still discovering precisely what changes in the brain are associated with specific motor behaviours, the concept of a dynamically changing or neuroplastic brain that supports learning is now unquestioned,â&#x20AC;? said Boyd.

News UBCM resolution calls for better control of medical marijuana JEFF NAGEL Black Press
B.C. civic leaders have called for tighter controls on Health Canada-licensed medical marijuana growers, citing public safety and nuisance issues. The vote came during the same Union of B.C. Municipalities convention that saw delegates vote to support decriminalization of marijuana. “We need to find a way to know where these are so we can provide some regulatory control,” North Cowichan Regional District director Al Siebring said. He said most busts of pot grow-ops turn out to be licensed by Health Canada but are growing “far, far more” than permitted and are
increasingly linked to organized crime. The Surreysponsored resolution calls on the federal government to force medical pot growers to first get a municipal permit or licence showing the grow site complies with local bylaws and electrical, fire, health, building and safety regulations. It’s the first time UBCM has actually approved the demand. It came to the convention floor in the previous two years but was tabled each time amid concerns from some civic leaders that a crackdown would breach growers’ privacy and reduce medical marijuana access. Ottawa is already moving to phase out the current individual
licences to grow medical pot and instead direct authorized users to buy from permitted commercial growers. Senior B.C. Conservative minister James Moore said UBCM’s other vote on marijuana – to decriminalize it – won’t sway the federal government. “We’re elected on a platform that very explicitly said we are not interested in legalizing marijuana.” Cross-border cash drain debated The cash drain on local businesses from cross-border shopping inspired one UBCM resolution that generated debate. Castlegar council proposed a resolution to lobby the federal
government to rescind its recent loosening of overnight duty free limits, which significantly increased the value of goods Canadians can bring back after trips of at least 24 hours. “The federal government is encouraging us to go across the border and increase our spending,” Castlegar Coun. Dan Rye said. But the motion was defeated after Creston Coun. Wesly Graham opposed it and said Ottawa should simply tighten the current lax
collection of duties and taxes by Canadian border guards. Thumbs down on casino benefit reform A proposal to redistribute some of the $82 million a year casino host cities get to cities without gambling facilities was rejected amid concerns over how it would work. Advocates said the current system where only host cities get 10 per cent of gambling profits divides cities into winners and losers and should be reformed to
spread the wealth. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said most patrons now are registered through player cards so the B.C. Lottery Corp. could easily estimate how much money is spent at a given casino by people who live outside that host city, allowing benefits to be apportioned equitably to other municipalities. “The current regulations are pitting communities against each other,” he said. “It’s creating an injustice between local govern-
ments around the province.” Port Coquitlam reps said they didn’t intend for host cities to lose money, suggesting the province could keep them whole while providing a per capita share of gaming profits to the have-nots – a scenario many at UBCM considered unlikely. Other delegates said have-not cities made their choice in the past not to have a casino – or the local costs and impacts that sometimes accompany them.

Only Only a working smoke alarm can save your life! FIRE FIRE PREVENTION PREVENTION WEEK WEEK OCT. 7-14
Smoke alarms save lives â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fall backâ&#x20AC;? to smart home safety As most Canadians turn back the clocks on November 4, here are some timely smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) safety tips: s 7HEN YOU change your clocks, test your smoke arlam. s 9OU HAVE less than three minutes to escape a ďŹ re. So when smoke alarms sound, everyone must know what to do and where to go. Having and practising an escape plan is essential. s )NSTALL ONE SMOKE ALARM on every storey and outside BEDROOMS )NSTALL INSIDE bedrooms if you sleep with doors closed. s %NSURE ALL SMOKE ALARMS are fully powered. Never take out batteries or remove an alarm from ceiling due to a false alarm. s )F YOUR HOME HAS ANY fuel-burning devices such as a gas furnace, gas water heater, gas appliances, or an attached garage or carport, install at least one CSAapproved carbon monoxide outside all sleeping areas. One per storey is recommended.
s 2EPLACE SMOKE ALARMS EVery 10 years, and CO alarms every 7-10 years (depending on manufacturer) whether battery operated or hardwired into your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electrical system. Carbon monoxide is colourless, odourless and tasteless. So without a CO alarm, humans cannot detect its presence. Despite the average home having several potential sources of the deadly gas, studies show that nearly 60 per cent of Canadians have not INSTALLED A #/ ALARM )N ADdition to being impossible to detect, CO also has another nefarious trait. Symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure mimic the ďŹ&#x201A;u, without the FEVER )T IS ROUTINELY RESPONsible for thousands of clinic and hospital visits each year, and is commonly misdiagnosed. Prolonged or extreme exposure causes nausea, dizziness, confusion, the loss of physical mobility, brain damage and ultimately, death.

Fire extinguisher know-how Analysis was undertaken on almost 50,000 ďŹ res that occurred in Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario over a 5-year period involving 663 fatalities. The ďŹ ndings demonstrated that the death rate per 1,000 ďŹ res in the absence of a present, functioning smoke alarm was 74% greater than when a functioning smoke alarm was present.
Thanksgiving turkey ďŹ res cause for concern at 9-1-1 centre % #OMM S lRE DISPATCH TEAM IS warning families to be mindful of their turkey cooking during Thanksgiving weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A turkey isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something you typically see on a list of household ďŹ re hazards, but we get 9-1-1 calls about ovens going up in ďŹ&#x201A;ames all the time,â&#x20AC;? says Corey +ELSO % #OMM lRE DISPATCHER â&#x20AC;&#x153;The result can be devastating if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not careful every time you have something cooking for an extended period of time.â&#x20AC;?
% #OMM HAS RECEIVED SOME ODD calls to 9-1-1 before â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including someone wanting to know how long to cook a turkey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but a turkey ďŹ re is no joke. )N FACT IT IS A LEADING cause of spikes in 9-1-1 calls over the holidays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A ďŹ&#x201A;ame in your oven can start easily and escalate quickly,â&#x20AC;? says Kelso. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oil drippings through a thin tinfoil turkey pan or bits of leftover food residue inside your oven are extremely ďŹ&#x201A;ammable in a high temperature setting.â&#x20AC;?
Many fatal ďŹ res start at night )NVESTIGATIONS into home ďŹ re deaths very often ďŹ nd that a smoke alarm did not sound. )T MAY HAVE been disconnected or not in working order. The batteries may have been dead, or someone may have taken them out. Smoke alone wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarILY WAKE YOU UP )N FACT THE fumes could put you into an even deeper sleep. Often, victims never wake up. Se-
niors will often need assistance from family members to put safety measures into place. As well, family members are in the best position to reinforce the precautions necessary to help their loved ones prevent or respond to a ďŹ re. Focus on these six priorities to help aging family members protect themselves against ďŹ re in the home.
N INSTALL smoke alarms inside every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. N Larger homes may need ADDITIONAL smoke alarms to provide enough protection. N For the best protection, INTERCONNECT all smoke alarms so when one sounds they all sound. N An IONIZATION smoke alarm is generally more responsive to ďŹ&#x201A;aming ďŹ res and a PHOTOELECTRIC smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering ďŹ res. For the best protection, both types of alarms or combination ionization and photoelectric alarms (also known as dual sensor alarms) are recommended. N Smoke alarms should be INSTALLED away from the kitchen to prevent false alarms. Generally, they should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a cooking appliance. N REPLACE all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.
Fire extinguishers are an important safety component in any home or building. A large portion of the public has not received training on fire extinguisher use and when to use them. Sometimes the use of the wrong extinguisher can exacerbate a fire, as there are different fire extinguishers for different types of fires.
Type of Extinguisher There are five different types of extinguishers, and generally each will feature a symbol to show the applicable fire on which they can be used. Class A: These are used on ordinary substances, like cloth, wood, paper, and plastics. Class B: These extinguishers are used on fires that feature flammable liquids, such as oil-based paints or gasoline. Class C: These extinguishers are used on electrical equipment, such as tools or appliances that are plugged in. Class D: Commonly found in specific factories, these extinguishers are used on flammable metals. Class K: Combustible cooking materials, like animal oils and fats, can be extinguished with this agent. They are commonly found in commercial kitchens, but are now infiltrating residential markets as well. Multipurpose: Some extinguishers combine different agents so they are applicable for a range of fires.
When to Use a Fire Extinguisher Small fires may be smothered with an extinguisher. If the fire has spread or is already large in size, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely only a trained firefighter can handle the blaze. Only use a fire extinguisher in these circumstances. 1. The fire is small and contained. 2. You have already called the fire department. 3. There is no chance of being consumed by toxic smoke. 4. You can escape safely if necessary. 5. The fire is not between you and the escape route. 6. You are physically able to carry its weight and exert the necessary pressure to operate it. Fire extinguishers should be routinely inspected and maintained to ensure they will be effective. Some need to be shaken to keep the dry chemicals from settling. Others need to have the pressure at the correct level. An extinguisher may need to be recharged or replaced if it is damaged.

Leaders’ spin contest ends in tie
T
he Union of B.C. Municipalities convention is the political event of the year for B.C. party leaders, especially heading into a provincial election.
Up first was NDP leader Adrian Dix, who drew a large crowd of local politicians last week for the traditional early-morning spot that follows a long evening of receptions.
In contrast to his debut last year, a typical litany of political attacks on the B.C. Liberals, Dix declared he would take the high road. And perhaps mindful of Carole James’ downfall after

Calling all Community Leaders
her content-free speech to the 2010 UBCM convention, Dix set out policies. He told delegates an NDP government would restore local authority over Metro Vancouver transit (no more toothless “mayor’s council”) and mountain resorts (no more Jumbo ski resort permits issued over local objections). Dix would also let communities decide if they want publicprivate partnerships for large construction projects. (Federal Heritage Minister James Moore later noted that if com-
munities or provinces wish to decline federal funds due to this ideology, they are free to do so.) Then Dix accused the B.C. Liberals of cutting forest inventory spending by 77 per cent over the Tom Fletcher last decade, meaning decisions like rebuilding the Burns Lake mill are being made “in the dark” for the first time in a century. That’s a damning charge, so I checked it against forest ministry budget records. As with all government programs, accounting changes can give a mis-

leading appearance of large cuts or increases from year to year. And indeed forest inventory spending has bounced around during the B.C. Liberal term. The budget for forest inventory staffing and operation was about $8 million in 2001-02, rising as high as $15 million and falling to a low of $5.1 million in recession-hit 2009-10. The estimate for the current fiscal year is $9.7 million, an increase to try to catch up with the pine beetle disaster. Crown forest inventory has indeed fallen behind due to rapid shifts caused by unprecedented insect and fire damage. But has spending been slashed as Dix claims? No. It has increased. Next up was Premier Christy Clark, in full campaign mode. In the Gordon Campbell tradition, she brought the goodies out in her speech to close the convention. More than $200 million has been scraped together to “accelerate” capital projects at schools, hospitals and other facilities across the province. These projects were already on the books, but they’ve been moved up for obvious political purposes. Or at least the announcements will be moved up. Four-laning of the last narrow stretches
of the Trans-Canada Highway east of Kamloops will continue over 10 years. This is a federal-provincial project that will eventually be finished regardless of who is governing in Victoria or Ottawa. It includes some of the most staggeringly expensive road building in Canada, in the Kicking Horse Pass, a short section that could require two tunnels and up to 12 more bridges. Clark also announced a long-range plan to replace the George Massey tunnel under the Fraser River. It will likely be a bridge, because the tunnel is a bottleneck not only for Highway 99, but also for large ships going up-river. This is another project that will proceed eventually, and there is no specific financial commitment yet. I haven’t found any outright false claims in Clark’s presentation, just the kind of creative accounting and blacktop politics familiar to B.C. voters. As always, I’m pleased to hear from people with specific corrections. For now, call it a tie. Neither speech represents a proud moment for our provincial leadership.

Part of the seminal hit play, The Number 14, Giulianetti has sweated through playing all those diverse characters on the ride that has been an international success for the past 20 years. The wheels on this particular bus, said to be The Number 14â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farewell tour through B.C., are about to brake for the last time at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre on Oct. 13. Giulianetti, who was on board last time the bus pulled into Vernon, says he was a fan of the Axis Theatre-produced play long before he started acting in it five years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always tell my friends and peers to seize the day and see the show even if they have before,â&#x20AC;? he said, calling from Coquitlam where The Number 14 stopped last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw it in college in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;97 and was flabbergasted at how brilliant and funny it was. It was years until I saw it again and so I always tell my friends to go see it.â&#x20AC;? Conceived and written by Melody Anderson, Peter Anderson and Colin Heath, whom locals will recognize from numerous Caravan Farm Theatre productions, as well as Gina Bastone, David Mackay, Beatrice Zeilinger, Roy Surette, and Wayne Specht, The Number 14 is a satirical look at the daily life on board a city bus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we started, the goal was to recognize the chaos of living in the city; to capture the absurdity, diversity and eccentricities we witness and participate in as we go about our daily business,â&#x20AC;? said the playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original director Surette. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we never dreamed we would have the longevity to be bringing this unique vehicle to people all over the world.â&#x20AC;? Public transit is one of the few places where diverse elements of the population cross paths. The Number 14 proves that travelling by bus can be a hilarious adventure filled with the unexpected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We keep it very physical,â&#x20AC;? said Specht, founding artistic director of Axis Theatre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dancing, singing, acrobatics and very broad slapstick comedy. The creative teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powers of observation and sense of the ridiculous is exhilarating, challenging, and even baffling. It could be called a comedic satire... At times it may appear silly, but at the bottom of our sketches thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a social comment.â&#x20AC;? Giulianetti confesses he has forgotten how many characters heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played over the years, although he does bring up Able Abe, the know-it-all construction worker, as one of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The scripts are almost useless in the show. Of course there are words, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more about our bodies remembering

Stefano Giulianetti (left) and Scott Walters are part of the cast of six actors who emulate more that 60 characters in The Number 14, which stops at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Oct. 13. where they need to be,â&#x20AC;? he said. With six actors playing as many as 60 characters, backstage can be just as chaotic as to what the audience sees on the stage. Giulianetti describes it as the hardest part of the show. Each actor has a special table where their costumes and props are laid out, and there have been occasions where an actor has stepped into the wrong costume, or slipped on the wrong wig or mask, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We stack our costumes in order, but sometime you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get into position as something or someone is in the way... If someone gets caught, we try to help them if we can and we have an assistant stage manager, but he is usually busy opening and closing the door to the bus.â&#x20AC;? However, there is one prop that Giulianetti loves wearing and that is the over-the-top drole caricatures dreamed up by acclaimed mask-maker Melody Anderson. Giulianetti describes the masks as characters onto themselves, and he should know as has not only worn them in The Number 14, but also in the play The Emperorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Threads, which Peter and Melody Anderson co-wrote. (That play has also been staged in Vernon.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not all the characters I play (in The Number 14) are masked. Some have a hat, a taped eyebrow, or scarf, but when I do wear them, they are a pleasure, and help you get into character. They are so comfortable. You forget you are wearing them,â&#x20AC;? said Giulianetti, adding one of his favourite

moments is when the characters are sitting on board the bus and lay down their newspapers to reveal the masks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can feel the audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tension, the nervousness, and their curiosity that pays off at the last moment,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also love when the lights go off at the end of the show just before curtain call. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice release. The audience always laughs and claps and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to hear the applause when we are back in our own faces. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to get that feedback. The show just wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist without an audience.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something Giulianetti and the rest of the cast are going to miss once the bus makes its rounds on its farewell tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to get to return to theatres where people know the show. They laugh before the joke comes,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rhythm of the comedy is like a metronome. We wait for the laughter to die down before we interject with the next joke.â&#x20AC;? And for fans saddened that the No. 14 may be making its last stop, you never know, 20 years from now they could take the masks out of storage or they could retire one of the buses and put it in a museum, said Giulianetti, adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss this bus.â&#x20AC;? The Number 14 pulls into the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Saturday, Oct. 13 at 8 p.m. Part of the Performing Arts Centre societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theatre series, tickets are $40/adult, $37senior, $35/student, $5/eyeGO, with discounts for society members, available at the Ticket Seller, 549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

Copy cats welcomed for Almost Famous auction Early 20th century art is the inspiration for Gallery Vertigo’s annual fundraiser Morning Star Staff
It could be the neoplastic grid art of Dutch painter Piet Mondrian, or the complicated constructivism of Russian’s Wassily Kandinsky, it doesn’t really matter as long as it is a masterful copy or fabulous fake. Gallery Vertigo’s eighth annual Almost Famous art auction and fundraiser features work by local artists imitating the masters, a term to be interpreted as widely
as possible, said Heidi Maddess, who is director of Vernon’s non-profit artist-run studio and gallery “We thought we’d add a twist for the eighth annual event with the theme Gin & Sin. As an artist, you could imitate any artist, in any style, from any country, who was working in the years between 1900 and 1955,” she said. “We’ll encourage dressing the part for the event and we will serve appetizers and cocktails.” Other examples of artists working in the time period include Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, René Magritte, Edward Hopper, Gustav Klimt, Tamara de Lempicka, August Macke, Paul Klee, Diego Rivera, Franz Marc, Edvard
Munch, Joan Miró, Georgia O’Keeffe, Guy Rose and Maxfield Parrish. Deadline for artists to submit their work for the event is Oct. 24, 25, and 26. All sizes will be accepted (no canvasses will be provided) and the name of the artist copied, title of piece, and historical description should be provided. Artists who enter a piece will receive one ticket for admission to the Almost Famous Full Regalia Gala and Art Auction on Nov. 3. Tickets for non-donating artists and the public are $20, available at the Bean Scene and Gallery Vertigo. For more information, contact Gallery Vertigo at 250-503-2297 or visit www. galleryvertigo.com

Cirque Ziva cancels show in Vernon Morning Star Staff
The Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre Society has announced the cancellation of the special presentation of Golden Dragon Acrobat’s Cirque Ziva scheduled for Jan. 13, 2013. The society was notified Sept. 20 by the troupe’s North American agent that unavoidable complications with international travel visas and American immigration was the reason for the cancellation. “Sometimes even the best of efforts can’t thwart the risks and challenges of working with artists from abroad. Thankfully, this is an exceptional circumstance,” said Erin Kennedy, artistic director of the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. The troupe has cancelled its four scheduled Canadian dates that were to take place in January and there is currently no discussion of rescheduling the tour, she added. The Vernon Performing Arts Centre Society says it will ensure that all ticket holders will have the option of exchanging their tickets for another society presentation or receive a full refund for their ticket purchase. Ticket holders are asked to contact the Ticket Seller box office at 250-549-7469 at their earliest convenience to make appropriate arrangements.

funk is finely represented on Belly Belly Nice, an ecstatic surefire festival freak out. The DMB really digs into the ballads on this recording. Sweet has an air of poignancy, Matthews sings of aging, that shifts to a stately closing section that gives its share of shivers. Belly Full is a similar mild strum song – short but atmospheric. From there, the band’s inventive groove making is given a subtle and sexy punch on If Only that reaches back to ‘70s R&B with pretty guitar work from Reynolds and an aching soulman vocal from Matthews. The group’s churning lines are in classic DMB form on Rooftop, where Matthews revisits past dramatic territory – desire and lust. But never indelicately!

Heart opens Fanatic tour in the Okanagan Morning Star Staff
Best known for their hits Barracuda, Crazy on You and Magic Man — the sister duo that created the band Heart is coming to the Okanagan. California-born, Seattle-bred sisters Nancy and Ann Wilson are behind some of rock’s most iconic hits and will be kicking off the Canadian dates for their Fanatic tour in Penticton’s South Okanagan Events Centre March 9. In their nearly 40 years as a band the Wilson sisters have been lauded as sex symbols, idealized as feminist icons, and worshiped by critics and fans alike, selling over 35 million albums worldwide and thrilling audiences with their raucous live show. In 2010 the band returned to the Billboard Top 10 with the release of Red Velvet Car and a Top 5 DVD, Night at Sky Church. The subsequent tour reinvigorated the sisters’ taste for live performance and life on the road, but as they looked forward to recording another record, something seemed to be in the way: their past. For years, friends and colleagues had been asking the sisters to do a book about Heart. “They always came to us with a real lascivious tabloid-y type idea,” Ann said, in a press release. “You know — think of
the ugliness and the dirtiness — but that’s so one dimensional. We’ve had moments of failure and vulnerability and humiliation, sure, but ours is also the story of women who are being told there are rules to follow and just won’t do it.” In the wake of the success of Red Velvet Car, the sisters decided to collaborate with veteran music journalist and Seattle rock scene expert Charles R. Cross, who also wrote the definitive Nirvana biography, Heavier Than Heaven as well as Roomful of Mirrors, a biography of Jimi Hendrix. “We figured if anyone can get the true rock and
roll story of it all it’s going to be him,” said Ann. The resulting biography, Kicking and Dreaming: A Story of Heart, Soul and Rock and Roll, is in stores now along with the Oct. 2 release of Heart’s brand new studio album Fanatic. When it came time to record Fanatic, the band’s approach was organic, very much in keeping with their roots as a true performance-oriented rock band. “These days things are formulated digitally or layered or looped and assembled but this is live groove,” said Nancy. “It was our mission to go in there and capture the
energy as it magically happens without too much over-thinking or repetition, just letting it escape.” In addition to the tour dates, Heart will make an appearance at Canadian Music Week on March 22 for a special in-depth interview and intimate acoustic performance. Tickets for the Heart 2013 Fanatic tour at the South Okanagan Events Centre go on sale Oct. 12 at 1 p.m. Tickets are $40, $59.50, $69.50 and $77.50 and can be purchased at www.ValleyFirstTix.com, or call 1-877-SOEC-TIX (763-2849).

Trouble with the Curve
G
us (Clint Eastwood) is a scout for the Atlanta Braves baseball team. Lately, age seems to be catching up with him. He’s nearing retirement, his eyesight is failing, he keeps bumping into things, either in his living room, or in his car. Despite all this he remains as misTaylor & Howe erable and mean as he always was. Mickey (Amy Adams) is Gus’s daughter, a lawyer, who also happens to know a great deal about baseball and scouting. She is roped into going on a scouting trip in order to help her grumpy father assess an up and coming ball player. Along the way, the two will have to overcome their past, work out their issues, which are varied, vague, unnecessary and boring. We say, “ZZZZzzzzzzzz....” TAYLOR: Baseball, getting old, falling apart, stubbornness, pride, impatience, parenting, ineptitude... They all seem like reasonable points to put in the plot of a movie that is essentially about relationships, or perhaps lack thereof. Unfortunately this film tries too hard. So if you like broad saccharin strokes, by all means, help yourself. I couldn’t wait to get out of the theatre. HOWE: Trouble with the Curve is like a foul ball: it’s not fun to see and it stinks. With all the talent they have in Trouble, I am surprised how bad it really was. After only 10 minutes I was thinking to myself, “Have I really got to watch another hour and 50 minutes? Please, somebody take

However, this film is stupid. It’s so rife with instances we’ve seen in other films of this nature that it could be used in film school as an example of what not to do. I found myself thinking things like, “Oh no, they’re not gonna have him start crying at the gravestone are they?” Only to have them top my worst fears by having him sing “You are my sunshine” at the same time. From there the film seemed to be an exercise of going through motions that strained my eyes due to my rolling them. HOWE: Yeah, Eastwood’s singing

voice hasn’t improved any since Paint Your Wagon. He’s getting predictable and I’m getting very bored of him playing the same character in every movie he stars in. Even the bubbly Amy Adams couldn’t rescue this disaster. TAYLOR: I’ve never noticed Adams’ particular talent. I think I’ve seen all her movies and she merely... is. Plus, Mickey’s idea of pushing the envelope was eating a hotdog, so she’s not winning an Oscar here. Justin Timberlake isn’t either. He too is guilty of stinking. Everyone should let this movie slide by like an outside pitch. HOWE: And take your base. –– Howe gives Trouble with the Curve 1.5 clogs out of 5. –– Taylor gives it 1 pop fly out of 5.

Baby’s first ‘happy meal’ Morning Star Staff
With brightly coloured posters bearing slogans such as “Breastmilk, the first happy meal,” the pregnancy outreach program kicked off World Breastfeeding Week Tuesday with a celebration bringing parents and babies together to share stories, laugh and enjoy a snack. “We had many program participants coming to share their breastfeeding story with the group, and we all enjoyed beautifully decorated cupcakes,” said Caroline Huisken, who coordinates the program at the First Nations Friendship Centre in Vernon. “Breastfeeding is a learned behavior and seeing and being around other mothers who are breastfeeding is the best way to be successful at breastfeeding your own baby. “At the pregnancy outreach program we promote breastfeeding as the first step on the road to optimal health.” Huisken said keeping breastfeeding on the public health agenda is critical to improving global health. “Early and exclusive breastfeeding with the introduction of appropriate complementary feeding around six months of age ensures that both mothers and infants receive maximum health benefits,” she said. “Many of our program participants shared their stories, their challenges and their successes. Breastfeeding is hard, especially in the first six weeks, but if you hang in there, it becomes easier all the time, and many mothers feel that when their breastfeeding routine is established, it becomes much easier then feeding formula. “Sharing their stories supports other program participants to make choices regarding feeding their babies.” The theme for this year’s World Breastfeeding Week is The Road to Lifelong Health Begins with Breastfeeding! In keeping with the theme, members of the program’s parent council (consisting of volunteer former program participants) decorated the space with bright, inspiring slogans, such as “Breastmilk is better than any udder,” “Breastmilk has no expiry date” and “The three reasons to breastfeed: #1 always the right temperature, #2 the cat can’t get into it, and #3 it comes in attractive containers.” While malnutrition plagues numerous developing countries, rates of obesity are at an all-time high in many developed countries. The health and nutritional status of mothers and infants are directly linked, making appropriate infant feeding a critical first step in preventing these and a variety of other medical conditions. “Poor feeding practices can lead to malnutrition and obesity, and contribute to an overall decline in the health and

“We promote breastfeeding as the first step on the road to optimal health.” — Caroline Huisken welfare of the population,” said Cathy Carothers, president of the International Lactation Consultant Association (ILCA). According to the World Health Organization, infants who are not exclusively breastfed for their first six months of life
are also more likely to develop a wide range of chronic and acute diseases and conditions including ear infections, diarrheal diseases, asthma, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and respiratory illnesses. In addition, mothers who do not breastfeed are at an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer. The Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding, jointly developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), serves as a roadmap toward a renewed commitment to exclusive breastfeeding beginning in the first hour of birth to achieve optimal health outcomes.

friend. We have both been married before and have children. When I met â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doug,â&#x20AC;? we would sit and talk for hours. Since our engagement, however, everything seems to be going downhill. We have not set a wedding date, nor do we discuss it. Due to my previous marriage and some mistakes, my credit is not where it should be. The amount of money I make will never allow me to get caught up. I have been applying for new jobs, but havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t found one yet. Doug says I need my credit to be good before he sets a date. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m interviewing now for a job that could turn into a steady and rewarding career. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s see if you get it.â&#x20AC;? Whenever someone asks me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When is the big date?â&#x20AC;? my heart sinks. I am starting to feel as though Doug is not ready to commit. He proposed and gave me a beautiful ring. Now we argue a lot. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m no spring chicken, Annie. I feel as if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m running out of time. What should I do? Want a reliable source for whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in your community?

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Want Happiness Sooner Dear Want: Doug is reluctant to take on your debts and may fear you are using him for financial security. He wants to see that you have a decent job before he marries you. This is not an unreasonable concern. The fact that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a hurry only makes him more skittish. Stop worrying about what other people think. If you get a good job and Doug still wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t set a date, then reconsider the relationship.

Brett Taylor (top left), Kristen Flores, James Botto and Kevin Oakley help lantern-workshop leaders Ellie Studd (front left), Melissa Dinwoodie and Ryan Robson make lanterns for the Caetani Cultural Centre’s upcoming Lantern Parade and Festival. Lantern-making workshops begin this Saturday. For details see www.caetaniculturalcentre.org
Lanterns ready to glow Morning Star Staff
The gardens of the Caetani Cultural Centre will be aglow on Oct. 27 during the third annual lantern parade and festival. In preparation, the centre will host lanternmaking workshops on Saturdays, beginning this weekend and running again Oct. 13 and 20. Artists Melissa Dinwoodie and Ellie Studd will demonstrate how to make simple lanterns that children of all ages can enjoy copying. They will be assisted by volunteers from the federally funded EMPLOY program at Community Futures. Held in the grounds at 3401 Pleasant Valley Rd., the workshops will run from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. As this year’s parade and festival offers everything for a toonie — from toonie fortunes to toonie treats, tunes and competitions — the lantern-making workshops will also cost a toonie, including materials. More advanced workshops run by Ryan Robson,
a former resident artist at the Caetani Cultural Centre, will cost $10, to cover the more expensive materials that will be used. Robson’s two workshops will be held at The Hub (next to the Towne Theatre): one for children on Oct. 20 from 10:30 a.m. till noon, and another for adults from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. “As the Lantern Parade and Festival on October 27 will set off for the Caetani Centre from the Hub — after half an hour of toonie spooky music and stories — it seemed appropriate to offer workshops there as well as at the CCC,” said Judy Katalinic, managing director of the Caetani Cultural Centre. She reminds everyone attending the workshops at the Caetani Centre to dress warmly. “Although there are some outdoor heaters, it could be chilly,” she said. For details of the October workshops, as well as the Caetani Lantern Parade and Festival, check www.caetaniculturalcentre.org
A big boost for Uganda Morning Star Staff
To call the Apwoyo Gulu Uganda Fundraiser a success would be an understatement. The sold-out event Sept. 7 raised $13,000 for the Canadian Network International Surgery (CNIS) thanks to the generosity of 30 sponsors, the donation of 132 auction items and donations from individuals and businesses. “A special thanks to the Philippine National Dancers and the Punjabi Heritage Society performers for the evening’s amazing entertainment,” said Vernon surgeon Dr. Ghee Hwang and the fundraising committee. “To Jack Gareb, John Fournier and all the wonderful staff at the Schubert Centre for the memorable taste of Africa dinner and their efficient service. “Thank you to the Vernon Morning Star and KISS-FM for all of the won-
derful publicity regarding our event — a heartfelt thank you to all.” All profits will go toward educational materials and medical supplies and equipment for St. Mary’s Hospital in Lacor, Gulu, Uganda, on a visit next March. The project is done in affiliation with CNIS to teach perioperative nursing and provide surgical training for Ugandan doctors. Hwang has visited the hospital several times and has brought Vernon medical staff with him. St. Mary’s Hospital has 483 beds, with up to 700 patients a day. There is not enough staff, and while many are well-trained, others have just basic training and others are learning on the job. Canadian and other medical teams are welcomed for the supplies and equipment they bring and for the training they provide.

Activity Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL In the year ahead, you are likely to be inspired to take on a unique but creative project, either as a personal hobby or a potential second source of income. Developing and testing things will turn out to be lots of fun, and profitable as well.
PUZZLE NO. 203
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) If you’re comparing similar items before making a purchase, quality should take precedence over price. Don’t allow yourself to be dazzled by a flashy sale.
ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203
THE
HOW TO PLAY: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box. 110721 6

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You’re likely to get the opportunity to be with someone whom you really like. Even if you can’t spend as much time together as both of you desire, you’ll make it a quality experience. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Even though the last thing you will be thinking about is feathering your nest, persons you help could end up doing more for you than what you actually do for them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might get some intuitive flashes pertaining to a certain future event. Don’t discount any of these perceptions just because what you envision seems too good to be true. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Something rather peculiar might develop that could result in a small but significant advantage in your career. It’s also likely that it’ll be beneficial financially as well. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Acknowledge all hunches or perceptions, because one could result in a subtle yet vital benefit for you in the workplace. Take advantage of your brainstorms you won’t regret it. ARIES (March 21-April 19) When considering making a financial investment, don’t discuss it with people who have poor fiduciary track records. Someone could talk you into putting your money on a bad bet. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Something beneficial could result from an involvement with a friend whose interests, ideal and standards
are similar to yours. Not so with a companion who thinks differently. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Oftentimes in life, we have to be extremely assertive in order to achieve our objectives. However, you will gain more at present by being kind and sharing. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Should your faith be put to the test, remember that you generally can achieve far more by being unwavering. Additionally, your steadfastness will inspire others. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Some kind of shift in circumstances can be expected, which will have a strong effect on you and your associates. However, you won’t mind the turmoil; you’ll instantly see its benefits. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Although the knowledge you’ll gain from books today might be marginal at best, you’re likely to learn an invaluable lesson from something you’ll experience with another person.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder M A I N TA I N I N G CONTROL IN A DIFFERENT GUISE Lao Tzu recommended: “In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don’t try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present.” What a wise chap. In bridge, keep the thinking simple and be completely at the table. In declaring, do try to control your trump suit, which can be particularly testing when you have only seven trumps. This deal highlights one method of keeping trump control. How should South play in four spades after West leads the heart ace and continues
with the heart king? East’s jump to three hearts was pre-emptive, in the modern style. With a good heart raise, he would have cue-bid three clubs. Then North was endplayed into raising spades. The missing spades are more likely to break 4-2 than 3-3 (48.4 percent to 35.5). Even so, South should plan on taking four spades, one diamond and five clubs. But if South ruffs at trick two and tries to draw trumps, he goes down. After three spades, he turns to clubs, but East ruffs the fourth club and plays another heart to defeat the contract. Instead of ruffing at trick two, South should discard a low diamond. If West plays a third heart, declarer ruffs
in the dummy, cashes the spade king, crosses to his hand with a club, plays three more rounds of trumps, ruffs the next heart, and claims. And if West shifts at trick three, the play follows a similar course. Does a defensive point occur to you? Tune in tomorrow.

Ken was quick to laugh, quick to anger and had a huge personality, keen intellect and sharp wit. He was a wonderful story teller and had amazing stories to tell. He could oŌen be found with full command of an audience, listening intently while he talked (someƟmes whether they wanted to or not!). You could never watch a detecƟve movie with him because he would ruin it by telling you, “who dun it” within the Įrst 5 minutes of the show; made only more irritaƟng by the fact that he was always right! There will be no funeral at his request, instead we will take Ken Įshing somewhere oī Cape Mudge, in the waters that he so loved to Įsh years ago with his children and his good friend, Roy. A private celebraƟon of his life will be held at a later date. In lieu of Ňowers, donaƟons to the Vernon and District Hospice would be appreciated – 3506 27th Avenue, Vernon, BC V1T 1S4.

She worked in the Maternity Dept of the Vancouver General Hospital until they saved up enough money to buy their Âżrst home in Richmond in 1959. In 1966 she accepted a job as the Head Nurse of the Maternity ward at the Richmond General Hospital and worked there until 1976. She was predeceased by her daughter, Jacqueline in 1982 and her husband in 2007. My mother never lost her sense of humor and always had a smile on her face. She loved to watch sports and was a huge Vancouver canucks and BC Lions fan. One of her favorite things to do was take her family out for supper. She said it was because they made her laugh. She is survived by her daughter Cheryl Paris(Davis), grandchildren Jennifer James(Paris) (Peter Aucoin), Allison Paris (Jeff Reed), Trevor Paris (Sarah), Andrew Paris (Dana), great grandchildren, Zavin & River Aucoin, Taylor Millyard, Vann & Noah Paris and Kubrick Reed. The family would like to thank the Good Samaritan Heron Grove care facility staff for taking such good care of Eleanor. You are the best!! Thank you to Dr. Jeanette Henley for her ongoing care. Thank you to the Emergency and ICU staff, for the quick and efÂżcient action taken when she Âżrst came into hospital. Thank you to Dr. Van Zyl, Dr. Crowley, Dr. Naude, Dr. DeBeer and Dr. Hayward for caring for her in the hospital. A very special thank you to the 2 East staff for being so thoughtful and considerate of my Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. In lieu of Ă&#x20AC;ower, donations can be made to the Diabetic Daycare Dept of the Vernon Jubilee Hospital. There will be a celebration of Eleanorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life on Oct 7, 2pm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 4pm at Heron Grove Care facility, 2nd Ă&#x20AC;oor, 4900 - 20th St, Vernon. BC.
