World Triathlon Corporation officially announced Whistler as the new venue of the Ironman Canada triathlon on Thursday afternoon. There was some initial confusion from Tourism Whistler, who appeared to have jumped the gun on the announcement and posted it on their webpage before the official announcement. That was taken down, shortly after it was posted Thursday afternoon, which was followed by the official announcement from WTC. The event is scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 25, 2013. “Whistler is recognized worldwide as a sought-after travel and outdoor recreation destination. As the new host community of Ironman Canada, Whistler will immediately earn a reputation as a triathlon destination,”said Steve Meckfessel, managing director of Global Race Operations for WTC. “With its accessibility to major west coast markets, stunning beauty and tourism infrastructure, Whistler will resonate with our athletes, their families and fans of Ironman.” Ironman Canada will be a P-1000 race with a $25,000 USD professional prize purse.

Bev Wiens of Stepney Hills Farm sorts through her stock of squash at the Coldstream Winter Farmers Market Wednesday at the Coldstream Women’s Institute Hall. The market is running every Wednesday until Dec. 19, and Jan. 9 to April 10 from 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.
The accused killer of an Armstrong teenager will be tried in Kelowna and will remain in custody until his trial starts. Matthew Stephen Foerster, 26, who is charged with Taylor Van Diest’s Oct. 31, 2011 murder, appeared in Kelowna Supreme Court Thursday where, late in the afternoon, Judge Alison Beames announced the decision to hold his trial in Kelowna, despite a change of venue application from Foerster’s Vancouver-based lawyer, Don Morrison. Morrison argued that the trial should be moved to Vancouver because Crown’s options of Kelowna or Kamloops didn’t offer a large enough population for an unbiased jury. Crown countered by explaining the Van Diest murder was covered by both provincial and national news organizations. The Cherryville suspect was also denied bail. Both pieces of news brought tears of relief, smiles and hugs to Van Diest’s family, who attended the court proceedings. “I’m satisfied with the judge’s decision,” said Marie Van Diest, Taylor’s mother. “I was hoping and praying it would go this way. I’m walking out of court with a smile on my face today.” No date has been fixed for a trial, which is expected to last six weeks. Foerster, of Cherryville, was arrested in Collingwood, Ont. five months after the death of Van Diest. He is facing charges from two other incidents from more than five years ago. Foerster is accused of attacking a sex-trade worker in Kelowna in April 2005. From that he faces charges of sexual assault with a weapon and confinement. He’s also charged in connection with a home invasion in Cherryville in late 2004. Foerster elected jury-free trials in both matters.

the mountain,” said Talbot. Also speaking to the boundaries commission Wednesday was Roy Derrick, with the Okanagan-Shuswap Liberal Association. “Forcing Falkland residents into the Central Okanagan-Coquihalla riding would dilute the power of their votes by extracting them from their community of interest with Greater Vernon and submerging them under the weight of tens of thousands of other voters with whom they have no transportation links or other significant ties,” said Derrick. A presentation was also made by the Falkland Community Association while the Okanagan-Shuswap Conservative
Association has made a written submission to the commission. Al Schalm, with the Conservative association, doesn’t believe it makes sense to split communities in the Salmon River Valley between ridings. “All people in the valley have a common interest,” he said. Falkland residents rallied against the boundary proposal Tuesday and a petition has been launched. Talbot will ask the CSRD board to join the fight Oct. 18. “You’d be hard pressed to find anyone who would support it,” said Talbot. “We will keep putting pressure on them.”

News Vernon stars raise record amount JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Galina and Daniel Labun used to be one of those couples that shied away from the dance floor at social events. Now the Vernon couple has not only mastered the tricky steps to the tango, but they’ve claimed a trophy from the fifth annual Dancing with the Vernon Stars. Galina, marketing manager at VantageOne Credit Union, and Daniel, Discovery Eye Care optician, were one of six couples and four singles (paired with professional dancers) competing in the sold-out Oct. 5 event at the Vernon Rec Complex auditorium. “Most of them had never danced,� said dance instructor and event creator Lorna Robb, with Cheek to Cheek Dance Studio. Yet the Labun’s danced away with the trophy for community favourite, while Dennis Beaton of Watkin Motors, paired with Cheek to Cheek instructor Tracy Kaye Holly, was the judges’ favourite, scoring the most points for their street hustle. While Beaton and the Labuns claimed the trophies, the biggest prize went to the North Okanagan Hospice Society as more than $26,000 was raised at the record setting event. “We raised $18,322 last year so this is $8,000 more than that,� said Robb of this year’s event which was appropriately themed Believe. Robb started the hospice fundraiser five years ago and the idea has caught on at hospice homes as near as Kelowna and far away as Ontario. “It was my little idea and now all the hospice houses are doing it,� smiled Robb.
DIGITALDEAN.COM
Tracy Kaye Holly (above left), Cheek to Cheek instructor, and Dennis Beaton of Watkin Motors earn the Dancing with the Vernon Stars judge’s choice trophy from Ruth Edwards, North Okanagan Hospice Society executive director. Daniel and Galina Labun (right) earned the people’s choice award at Friday’s event which raised more than $26,000 for hospice. Locally the event has only grown in popularity, featuring new celebrity dancers each year. “It was a really creative and fun way to fundraise,� said Galina, who was neck and neck with Robb’s east coast swing dance partner, Richard Finn (Wayside Printing), in the weeks leading up to the competition as they tried to garner the most online votes. “The fundraising part of this event with all proceeds to hospice was the easy part for me,� she said.
“The challenge was the tango dance.� Competitors spent months learning their assigned dances and perfecting every move for their big debut. “We weren’t just asking for money, we were working for it,� said Galina. “And we had so much fun.� Along with Finn, Beaton and the Labun’s, the list of Vernon stars included: Rob Sawatzky (Vernon mayor) paired up with Robb doing the foxtrot; Brian Quiring (Vernon councillor) and wife Dorothy danced the waltz; Annette Sharkey
(Social Planning Council) and partner Cliff Lattery rocked the rumba; Angie and Matt Tumlinson (The Sprouted Fig) did the twostep; Darcy Sochan (Century 21) cha-cha’d with Holly; George Duffy (Vernon Chamber of Commerce) boogie woogied with his wife Alanna; and Valerie Blundell (North Okanagan Hospice Society) and partner Myles Ferryman wowed the crowd with their west coast swing. Anyone interested in being paired up for the sixth annual Dancing with the Vernon Stars can contact Robb at Cheek to Cheek.
Scam going door-to-door using United Way’s name ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The United Way is alerting people of a scam targeting its organization. United Way of North Okanagan Columbia Shuswap executive director Linda Yule issued a release Wednesday, stating it has come to the United Way’s attention that perpetrators have scammed citizens in Vernon and the Shuswap by going door-todoor asking for donations to the United Way. “The funds are being collected using hand-held debit machines,
and donors are sometimes being offered Tim Hortons gift cards as a reward for donating,� said Yule, who is adamant this is not how the United Way canvasses for funds. “United Way, in our region,� does not canvass door-to-door,� she said. “As well, we do not offer rewards to donors and do not use hand-held card readers.� The individuals who are canvassing appear clean-cut and presentable. They were in the Shuswap area last weekend and in Vernon Tuesday, according to Yule.
“The debit information gathered door-to-door was used to extract additional unapproved funds from donors’ accounts,� she said. Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP Cpl. Gerry Kovacs said most legitimate charities set up for online donations to protect donations and personal contact information. “Most charities do not use hand-held card readers,� said Kovacs, who advised residents not to give out any information to somebody coming to their door. “If it happens, contact the
charity right away to see if they are, in fact, canvassing that way and in that particular area at that time,� he said. “Or, if you’re still unsure, call the police.� If possible, get a good description of the individuals and contact the RCMP immediately. If you have been victimized please contact your bank to report the transactions and contact your local RCMP at one of the nonemergency numbers. You can also call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. United Way is a trusted charity that has been in the community

Council grants mission funds RICHARD ROLKE
SUBARU
HILLTOP
CELEBRATING OUR
GRAND RE-OPENING
Morning Star Staff
A Vernon non-profit is getting help from taxpayers, but there may be a limit to their generosity. Council will provide $4,885 so the Regional District of North Okanagan can cover a $9,200 grant to the Upper Room Mission. Coun. Catherine Lord supported the funds, but admits she has mixed views about the matter. “We already give them a property tax exemption in the order of $4,400. At what point do we draw the line in funding Catherine Lord organizations?” she said. “It’s a question of how much taxpayers can support? All non-profits are hurting and government grants have dried up but our taxpayers are hurting too.” The Upper Room Mission wants the fee waived for a water main upgrade to its facility, which provides meals and programs to people in need. Individual jurisdictions are being asked to provide funds because RDNO does not have the ability to provide grants. “This (water) line was imposed on them,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham, who hopes the region will pull together and cover the cost of the fee. “It’s not just Vernon residents that take advantage of the mission.”

The cause of death of a Lake Country hunter was accidental. The body of Tracy De Montezuma, 52, was found in the Wilma Lake area Oct. 4. He had been missing since Sept. 29. “He took his rifle and was scouting the area for hunting with some friends,” said Barb McLintock, with the B.C. Coroners Service. “It looks like he was was trying to get over some windfall (dead trees) when the gun accidentally went off.” De Montezuma was wounded in the torso. “We are still in the preliminary stage of the investigation,” said McLintock. A five-day search for De Montezuma involved nine search crews from across the Interior, including Vernon.

Deborah Coyne is increasingly concerned about divisions developing within the country. And as a candidate for the federal Liberal leadership, the author, lawyer and university professor says she is best suited to mend those differences. “I am getting a great response because Liberals are looking forward to the leadership race,” said Coyne, who will speak to party faithful in Vernon today. “Members of the party know Canadians don’t have a clear idea of how the Liberals fit in between the Conservatives and the NDP. But we’re the only party with a history of national government. “I am making the case for one Canada for all Canadians. I want to talk about the vision of the country.” Coyne believes there are people seeking an alternative because they are not satisfied with the polarization between the Conservatives and the NDP. “We will become a clear voice for a majority of Canadians,” she said, adding that the policies of Prime Minister Stephen Harper are generating concern. “You don’t just cut back on science and food safety. There’s an ideological streak with Stephen Harper that’s grating on people.”
“My campaign is ideas focused.” — Deborah Coyne Among the other issues that get raised while she travels across the country are failing infrastructure in communities and long-term care for seniors. Coyne, who played a role in the constitutional talks of the 1980s and 1990s, was the Liberal candidate in the riding of Toronto-Danforth in 2006. A new party leader will be selected April 14, 2013, and the only other candidate to date is Justin Trudeau, a Montreal MP. “He brings a background that is different than mine. My campaign is very ideas focused,” said Coyne. “I am an original speaker with original ideas and I want to overcome the cynicism out there.” Coyne will be at a wine-and-cheese social at the Royal York Golf Course in Armstrong today at 6 p.m. That will be followed by the OkanaganShuswap Liberal Riding Association annual general meeting.

Lock it or lose it. It’s a simple message that, again, the Vernon RCMP is issuing to motorists following another rash of theft from vehicles overnight Wednesday. “Ninety-nine per cent of thefts from motor vehicles have been from unlocked vehicles,” said Vernon RCMP Cpl. Gerry Kovacs. “There was only one case of there being damage to a vehicle.” Kovacs, as recently as Tuesday, issued a plea to the public to remove valuables from vehicles, put them in the trunk and lock the vehicles after numerous thefts reported over the holiday long weekend. He said that the trend is continuing, mainly in residential neighbourhoods as soon as it gets dark at night. “A person can walk through a neighbourhood and check maybe 50 cars,” said Kovacs. “It’s not like they’re spending time looking things over. “They walk by a vehicle, check to see if the door opens. If it doesn’t they move on. If it does, they’ll have a look at what’s inside.” Kovacs said thieves will take anything, from loose change to cameras
or if you hear voices during the middle of the night, call the RCMP,” said Kovacs, adding that no area of the city has been exempt from the crime wave. “It’s a city-wide problem,” he said. “It’s everywhere.” To report suspicious activity, call the Vernon detachment at 250-5457171.

— Brian Quiring while there is no money in the budget, city politicians say they are aware of the problem. “I used to ride my bike on that road but I don’t any more because I can’t afford the dental work from losing my fillings,” said Coun. Brian Quiring of the pot holes and uneven pavement. One challenge is Vernon is only responsible for the road up to the Blue Jay subdivision. After that, the road is in the regional district and the responsibility of the Ministry of Transportation. Coun. Juliette Cunningham says there could be opportunities for the city to do safety upgrades when the regional district has dug up the road for water utility projects. “I’m often confused with the process. We need to look at more co-ordination,” she said.

Residents along one Vernon road say their lives are at risk every time they go for a walk. Demands are growing for the city to install a paved surface along Old Kamloops Road, from 43rd Avenue to the Blue Jay subdivision, for pedestrians. “The present (low) level of usage is because of the safety issue,” said resident Karen Wheeler. Wheeler isn’t impressed by recent comments from an official that there haven’t been sufficient accidents to warrant upgrades. “We do not intend to become a statistic to see our road improved.” Vehicles often exceed the posted 70-kilometrean-hour speed limit and there is nowhere for cyclists or pedestrians to go if they are in trouble. “There are few safe spots for school buses to stop and pick up children,” said Wheeler, adding that the inability to bike or walk safely is forcing people from the area. “More young families would be willing to move to the Blue Jay subdivision where housing prices are lower.” A paved lane could cost about $150,000, and

Finding hope
C
ancer kills – it’s a phrase many of us can unfortunately relate to. That term has been widely used for the simple fact that the disease can prove deadly. But it is also being proven wrong day after day by survivors. More and more people are beating the odds, and rightfully so there appears to be a lot more hope surrounding the disease. That is exactly what I’ve seen in a number of people battling the disease. Maybe not so much on the days where chemotherapy or radiation JENNIFER SMITH have sucked the life out of them, but on their ‘good’ days, the survivors, and determined-to-be survivors, are a source of inspiration. Obviously cancer can kill, and for some the diagnosis can leave them with little or no hope. Some of us have unfortunately seen that side of the disease, which despite all the support in the world, the person diagnosed loses their battle. But the statistics are changing, medical advancements are being made and support is growing for those who must face the disease. The fact that our province has some of the best survival rates for women with breast cancer (91.8 per cent) is one sign of hope. Therefore despite all the nastiness associated with cancer, it seems more and more people are charging forward in the face of the disease, no matter the odds. When you meet one of these determined individuals, whatever form of cancer they may be battling, their courageous attitude is overwhelming. These survivors are an inspiration. They almost always carry a smile with them, they are openly optimistic, and despite all they are going through or have previously endured, they are some of the most giving and caring people out there. They are soldiers.

How, you might ask, can someone who is battling a killer disease be so optimistic? Well I suppose, when you look at it that way, all they have left is hope. But there is also comfort for patients who hear stories of those who battled the disease before them, and beat it. That gives them hope. And there is reassurance from the support of family and friends. That gives them hope. There are countless events, from the Relay for Life and Run for the Cure to charity dances, auctions and more all working towards a future without cancer. That gives them hope. And they spread hope among others. After taking part in the recent Run for the Cure, the amount of hope and optimism among the hundreds of participants (many cancer survivors and even some currently battling the disease) was astounding. There were no tears of sorrow or pity. There were only tears of joy and smiles. Seeing all that positivity was encouraging. And it gave me hope. One woman in particular is, always has been, and always will be, an inspiration to me. Among the lengthy list of trials and tribulations she has overcome, she battled ovarian cancer. Despite being the most fatal and overlooked women’s cancer (according to Ovarian Cancer Canada), she won that battle. Three years later, as I watched her walk the five-kilometre Run for the Cure a few weeks ago, my heart swelled with pride. That is my mom, and she gives me hope. Last month (September) was ovarian cancer awareness month, this month (October) is breast cancer awareness month. November is both lung cancer awareness month and pancreatic cancer awareness month. So to all those who are bravely battling the disease, whether they are one day, one year or 10-year survivors, let every day be a day of hope for you and your loved ones.
Let’s hope the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission got the message. Removing Falkland from Okanagan-Shuswap and lumping it in with Kelowna, Summerland, Merritt and Princeton is a complete mistake. Not one presentation to the commission Wednesday supported the realignment of boundaries, and Falkland residents took to the street Tuesday to voice their opposition. “You’d be hard pressed to find anyone who would support it,” said Rene Talbot, the local regional district director. There’s no question that redistributing boundaries to meet population trends is difficult, but did the commission members actually look at a map? Falkland is no where near Princeton and Merritt and even driving to Kelowna will take the better part of a day. That means having physical contact with their MP’s office would be limited and Falkland’s needs would be overshadowed by the much larger communities within that riding. If commission members actually took the time to go on a road trip, they would realize where Falkland’s alignments are. Its secondary students go to school in Armstrong, it is part of a Salmon Arm-based regional district and many residents work and shop in Vernon, as well as access health care there. It could be months before the commission makes a final decision on boundaries, but an immediate announcement leaving Falkland in Okanagan-Shuswap should be a priority. If that doesn’t occur, they will continue to realize that Falkland residents are a tenacious bunch and known for speaking out. They aren’t going to stop fighting until the boundaries commission raises the white flag.

Meat rules hurting communities
I
understand that Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick is re-evaluating the issuance of class E meat processing licens-
es.
It has been more than two years since the provincial government added the categories of D and E licenses, with the intent of allowing E licenses throughout the province. Since the meat inspection regulation came into force Sept. 30, 2007, our regional district has gone from five custom poultry processors providing service to almost 900 poultry producers to one developed as a partnership between four farming families to meet their own processing needs, with some capacity for custom processing. During the same period, the red meat sector has gone from six custom processors to one. Eighty per cent of Armstrong/ Spallumcheen's butchers have gone out of business. The remaining butcher has gone from two to three employees to a part-time business for one person. Essentially, the provincial government has created and continues to protect a SKILLS TRAINING This is a response to a letter by Roy Humphrey, Skill Training must be a Priority, published in the July 22 paper. I am unhappy about the training system in Canada for the last three years or so. I am a trades person from Europe and I took three years of combined classroom and training. I have some idea about what it takes to make a tradesperson. I am guilty of talking my son into taking trades when the time came to decide which road to take. Well, all we found is no training and no work. The colleges are spitting out students who paid their own tuitions, often re-training themselves, but with nowhere to go. Roy, you said so well in your letter all that I was trying to put together all of these years. Thank you very much for that. I wish this issue would get the attention it

Rozalia Erdei BUS SHELTERS Regarding the the letter of July 4, Accessibility is being ignored, I was pleased to see the very next day that benches for bus riders appeared on 30th Avenue by Safeway and Nature's Fare. However, regarding the questions in the letter — "Why can't the shelters stay? Don't we deserve to have shelters?" Nothing has been done. Even in April when the new bus terminal opened, it was chilly with the wind whipping around the new benches that have no protection at the terminal. The wonderful summer and fall we've had has offered a pleasant grassy area to wait for buses at the park terminal. However, what will happen to the teenagers, students, seniors and people who take buses because

they care about the environment when the icy winds and winter snows arrive? They will be frozen, with no protection. Meanwhile, two former shelters still sit where the old terminal was, abandoned and useless. What is the city going to do to help us through the winter? We deserve to have shelters at our bus terminal. Is this the way to treat those who are making a concerted effort to go green — giving them a terminal with benches lacking protection?

NDP leader Adrian Dix accidently slipped on a political banana peel. After giving a cleverly crafted and deftly delivered speech at the Union of B.C. Municipalities annual convention in Victoria, Dix told a scrum of reporters he would consider rescinding B.C.'s balanced-budget legislation. Oops. Now everyone has forgotten about his speech.

district to a distant second. Pastures and hay lands which were productive five years ago, are now not managed, many with noxious weed infestations. Customers who want to support Buy Local initiatives have limited access.
These points have been made in hundreds of consultations, letters, surveys, teleconferences, and meetings with every level of bureaucrat and politician responsible since 2004 when the draft legislation was first circulated. All to no avail. Current food safety events have raised the question, "Is our meat processing system safe?" The point has been made that as line speed increases, food quality decreases. On the humane animal welfare side, multiple studies show the deleterious effects on meat quality from transportation stress. Livestock producers and their customers in the North Okanagan (as well as the South Cariboo and throughout the Kootenays) wish to have processing options which address both food safety and humane animal welfare, which includes on-farm slaughter. Will the minister please respond by supporting D and E licenses in the North Okanagan Regional District for farm-gate sales together with reasonable access to the slaughter safe course? Andrea Gunner

News UBCM disappoints Armstrong politicians ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
For two veteran Armstrong councillors, there was little substance to this year’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Victoria. Shirley Fowler and Ryan Nitchie felt the week-long meeting in the provincial capital featured a lot of talk with no significant outcomes. “It reminded me of the one in about 2000, when the Glen Clark/ Ujjal Dosanjh government was on its way out,” said Nitchie. “Every minister’s speech I heard in Victoria this year was basically empty. We weren’t getting any real answers, no real announcements.” “There was no guts to a lot of the talks, just that – a lot of talk,” added Fowler. “There were a lot of people talking but there wasn’t a lot of meat to what they were saying.”
“There was no guts to a lot of the talks.” — Shirley Fowler Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper called it a busy UBCM but did agree that some of the topics were light. “It’s hard to hit a lot of hot topics for a week of meetings every year,” said Pieper who, along with Nitchie and Fowler, was joined in Victoria by councillors Kelly Rowe and Ron (Sully) O’Sullivan. One of the hot topics debated was a resolution to lobby the federal government to decriminalize marijuana. Or, at least, Fowler thought there’d be more debate on it. “It was 11:50, time for lunch and I just thought there would be a lot more to debate

about because it was such a strong topic,” said Fowler. “We went for lunch, came back and the vote (which passed in favour) had been done. “Everybody had such strong opinions and examples, at the end of the meeting I expected everybody to get up and duke it out.” O’Sullivan voted in favour of the resolution, but believes the feds should legalize marijua-
ing young families to a community. “His ideas were targeted towards young families and opportunities for governments to help our generation,” said Nitchie, married, with two young daughters. Rowe said one of the talks she enjoyed the most was from a panel of ministers for natural resources, and the outlook they painted for the province going forward. “They were talking about nowhere near being able to fill the jobs that are going to be created,” said Rowe, talking about the freezing of natural gas and moving it.

The popular Kalamalka Rotary Dream Auction is sold out. All 450 tickets for the Nov. 17 event at the Best Western Vernon Lodge have been snapped up. “This is the earliest ever that we have had a sell-out,” said Andy Erickson, ticket committee chairperson. “As of this week, we’re taking names on a wait list.” Typically, a few tickets become available as people who have booked tables don’t require all of their tickets or Andy Erickson purchasers discover they can’t attend after all. Tickets are $75 each and you can get on the wait list by contacting Erickson at 250-545-9188. Proceeds from the 2012 Dream Auction will bring the total auction amount raised by Kalamalka Rotarians to almost $2.5 million. The funds are directed into major and minor local projects as well as international projects such as the Rotary Student Exchange and Polio Plus, dedicated to the eradication of polio worldwide. “Our generous supporters have come through yet again,” said Taylor Dedora, Dream Auction chairperson. “We have some excellent items for this year’s auction. As well as the expected high quality electronics, wine and art, we have a Cariboo-Chilcotin trail ride, a four-night stay on Galiano Island, a fishing trip to Englefield Lodge in Haida Gwai including a helicopter trip from the airport to the lodge, a beautiful furniture package from Designer’s Gallery, gourmet dinners and much much more.”
na, not decriminalize it. “Some examples they gave, if an 18-year-old kid gets caught smoking a joint, he can’t go across the border. That’s stupid as far as I’m concerned,” said O’Sullivan. “It was a really good presentation with most of the speakers talking about the pros and cons of decriminalizing marijuana.” Fowler was impressed by a presentation from Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky and Annette Sharkey of the Social Planning Council on responsible gambling.

“We usually have 15 to 20 volunteers out braving the elements,” said Code. All of the funds raised will help the department light up the Coldstream sky Oct. 31 for the annual fireworks display. “We would like to continue the tradition of the fireworks,” said Code. The fireworks take place at Kal Beach, but can be seen throughout the community, at 8 p.m. and include a bonfire and hot chocolate. Corporate donations towards the cause are also being sought. For more information email chief@coldstreamfire.ca Collection boots are also out at several businesses in east Coldstream, as the Lavington Fire Department is raising funds for itss Halloween display. Donations can also be made Halloween evening, after the 8 p.m. display, where the hall will have hot dogs, chilli, hot chocolate and coffee. Out in Lumby, firefighters collected some funds at the recent hazardous waste roundup for the village’s Halloween fireworks. Donations are still being accepted at the Lumby Village Office.

Increased transparency urged at Vernon city hall RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The curtain could be lifting slightly on confidential meetings at Vernon city hall. Council has agreed to consider, on an issueby-issue basis, whether in-camera voting records will be released to the public. “I want to see more transparency,� said Coun. Bob Spiers. “We want to free people up to speak to something they truly believe in.� While some councillors have previously disclosed how they have voted in-camera, there has been the suggestion that they are breaking provincial legislation by disclosing details from a private session. Spiers is satisfied that voting patterns will be released in some cases, but not in all circumstances. “Procedurally it makes sense because there are some votes that should never be declassified.� As an example, Spiers says council discusses appointments to committees behind closed doors. “You could be voting against certain people and that’s a privacy issue,� he said. The new procedure has the support of Mayor Rob Sawatzky.
Library open for Sundays Morning Star Staff
There are more opportunities to find a great book to read. Beginning this Sunday, the Vernon branch of Okanagan Regional Library will once again open its doors Sundays. “With students back to school and summer vacations over, demand for resources increases on weekends,� said Maureen Curry, branch librarian. The branch will be open Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. until March 24.
“There’s really no change from the past
but it’s clarified that on an ad hoc basis, you
don’t reveal how you vote,� Sawatzky said
of individual council members.
“People were not clear about what you
could and could not say.�

To be eligible, buildings must have been completed between Jan. 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012. A panel of independent judges, selected at large, have reviewed each nomination, looked at the overall exterior design of the project, and determined how each fit into the surrounding area before deciding the winners.

A downtown treat trail will help wrap up the 12th annual Harvest Pumpkin Festival in Armstrong. Downtown merchants and organizations are preparing for the Trick or Treat Spooktacular Oct. 31. Besides handing
Relax... your family is in good hands.
out Halloween treats, merchants will also be decorating their storefronts. Children 12 years of age or younger, in costume, are encouraged to follow the trail of orange and black balloons and enjoy treats provided by the business community.
Sponsored by the Ar mstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce, this event gives young trick or treaters in the community an opportunity to enjoy a safe Halloween. For more information on the 12th annual Harvest Pumpkin Festival, visit www. aschamber.com or e-mail manager@ aschamber.com.
Armstrong’s 12th annual Har vest Pumpkin Festival will again have the North Okanagan Lawnmower Racing Club (NOLRC) join in for the activities Oct. 27. NOLRC racers have been part of Harvest Pumpkin Festival for the past seven years and are always a crowd pleaser. Starting with three drivers, they have grown into a club of more than 20 members and can be found racing throughout the Okanagan Valley, the Kootenays and into the Fraser Valley. They organize approximately 10 events per year, including the annual Harvest Pumpkin Festival race. The tractors are modified to increase safety and speed but keep the lawn tractor look. With a few modifications such as handle bar steering, lower suspension and pulley changes, these mowers can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h. Drivers are required to wear safety gear and the raceway is designed to be safe, fun and most of all, provide a great race experience for riders and spectators alike. For more information on the 12th annual Harvest Pumpkin Festival, visit www. aschamber.com.

Carpool Week rolls in Morning Star Staff
The Okanagan’s sixth annual Carpool Week runs from Oct. 22 to 26. Commuters will be encouraged to visit www.carpool.ca and participate in various activities making them eligible to win prizes. “Apart from lessening our impact on the environment, carpooling makes good economic sense for motorists,” said Wendy Majewski, Vernon’s transportation demand management co-ordinator. “At a time when people are really trying to decrease their spending, carpooling is an easy way to reduce costs for fuel, parking and vehicle maintenance.” Vernon is among the communities that uses Carpool.ca, which is secure and free. According to Statistics Canada, the average Canadian household spends over $12,000 per year on transportation alone, the second highest family expense next to shelter. Among the activities for Carpool Week are submitting a carpool story, using the new Trip Tracker feature to measure savings resulting from trips not taken and using social media to play transportation trivia and carpool tag. Carpooling is not just for people who live within city limits. About 20 per cent of commuters drive in from communities outside of major centres. “It’s important to note that carpooling doesn’t require a large commitment,” said Anne Marie Thornton, manager of Carpool.ca. “Our desire to save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions tends to be secondary to our need for convenience. Consider carpooling once or twice a week to start.”

pointing to say the least, but I learned a lot last season and I’m ready to take on the world this winter.” Once a world-class BMX rider, the 6-foot, 170-pound Hill has made the transition to snowboarding (he started in 2008)with amazing ease. “It was pretty simple. I started snowboarding at the age of nine and BMX shortly after. I had fun with snowboarding doing freestyle competitions on and off during my teen years. I kept hard at BMX racing all along and the skills from BMX just seemed to cross right over. “The power I was lacking in BMX with my legs didn’t matter anymore in snowboarding. My snowboard starts were some of the fastest in the world right off the get go and my legs seemed to move quicker then anyone’s. So in the end it all came down to the love of speed, adrenaline and air time.” Sponsors help Hill avoid working nine-tofive. He also rates government funding. “As a carded Canadian athlete, we make $1,500 a month. I’d like to say I’m making a decent living but when you have a tough season without any wins, it is tough make any money. Any sponsors we can pick up along the way is a huge bonus. Its a tough sport to make money at but I’m trying very hard to round up sponsors leading up to Sochi 2014.” Hill is ranked 29th in the World Cup standings and 31st by the FIS (International Ski Federation). For his South American training tour, he sends a big shout out to “Rancho Vignola for providing great wholesome food throughout the trip, Bio-X Nutrition for supplements, Fitness Maxx for providing a great place to train and keep in shape and Oakley for all the warm winter gear.”
He wore a kilt to work and play, had an infectious laugh and smiled at everybody and everything. Owen Siddall will also be remembered today at Hassen Memorial Arena as one of the most popular players in Armstrong Shamrocks lacrosse history. The celebration of life begins at 1 p.m. ‘Big O,’ as he was affectionately known, died suddenly at his home in Armstrong on Thanksgiving Sunday night. He was 46. “He hadn’t been feeling well for a few days,” said past Shamrock president Ryan Nitchie. “This is a huge shock to everyone who knew Owen. Owen Siddall He was one of a kind.” Siddall, a cabinet maker, was a goalie with the Shamrocks senior C team. He was mobbed by teammates last July 15 when his 175-foot shot fooled Vernon Tigers’ netminder Ivor Sandaker at Wesbild Centre. “He started with the Shamrocks in 2007,” said Nitchie. “He wasn’t allowed to play sports when he was growing up (in Port Alberni) and I think when he started playing lacrosse and hockey, he found himself. He sure knew how to make people laugh. I remember the first time he tried hockey, he wore gumboots on the ice.” Former Shamrock GM Lori Pounder and Nitchie will present a slide show honouring Siddall’s life this afternoon. “I have been asked by the family that people wear, or accessorize with, something green if you are going to attend the service,” said Shamrocks’ GM and longtime goalie Chad Pieper. Siddall didn’t have any children, but was a cherished uncle and treated his girlfriend Sheila Stewart Bronson’s children like his own. He also found great joy in the Shamrocks’ dressing room. “Big O was without a doubt more colourful than Don Cherry,” said Shamrocks’ head coach Glenn (Stumpy) Mitchell. “His trash talking during practices to his sharp one-liners in the dressing room. This gentle giant’s warm smile demonstrated the love he had for us and for the Shamrocks. His unorthodox style was very effective and very entertaining to say the least. His character in the room kept us up when the chips were down. Owen loved everyone and everyone loved Owen.”

Canwest crew evades Kuhn Morning Star Staff
Dave Merklinger’s Canwest Propane counted a huge fourpoint fourth end to brush back Robbi Kuhn’s North Enderby Timber 7-6 in Baron Insurance Super League action Wednesday night at the Vernon Curling Club. Merklinger, with Darren Heath tossing skip’s stones, went up a deuce in the first end, only to have the timber crew storm back with a single and steal of two. Kuhn chipped away at the lead after the break with a deuce in five and single in seven. Sherry Heath’s De Vine Vintners pounced on Team Longworth’s rusty/injured Sladen Moore rink, pulling a 6-4 comeback win. With skip Mark Longworth sidelined indefinitely with a separated shoulder, the Sladen group brought in super spare Jenn Gerow and bumped Jon Gardner to second and had Jamie Sexton at skip. Heath had Briane MacLean throwing skip’s stones and opened with a steal in one. Sexton delivered a pair of nice draws to secure a deuce

Sun set for showdown WARREN HENDERSON Black Press Sports
It has often been said that familiarity breeds contempt. If that's holds true in junior football, don't expect any pleasantries to be wasted when the Okanagan Sun visit the Vancouver Island Raiders later this month in Nanaimo. After butting heads three previous times already in 2012, the longtime rivals will battle one final time on the weekend of Oct. 20 in the B.C. Football Conference semifinal. "We have to return to the rock in two weeks," said Sun head coach Gavin Lake, whose club lost two nail-biters in Nanaimo this season, 30-29 and 32-30. "The first two have been good battles. We'll be looking forward to going back there for another shot." Combined with Westshore's win over fifth-place Kamloops Saturday, the Sun (3-6) secured the fourth and final playoff spot in the BCFC Saturday with a 36-0 victory over the winless Chilliwack Huskers (0-9). In a game where the result was a foregone conclusion even before the opening kick off, Lake said it was a challenge for his players to maintain a steady level of intensity from start to finish. "You don't like to think that way, you really have to try and go 100 per cent, no matter who you're playing, to prevent injuries. Having said that, it's hard to get dialed up when you're playing a team that's struggling like Chilliwack." The Sun will close out the regular season Saturday at the Apple Bowl with their third meeting of the season against the Langley Rams (6-2-1). Kick-off is 2 p.m.

Lake Country officials are strengthening relationships with local businesses. Council members and municipal staff recently asked merchants for their views on the state of business, what they like about being an entrepreneur in the area and what could be done to improve business. “Overall, I think this pilot project was a huge success, but it’s only the beginning,” said Coun. Jamie McEwan. “We need to continue working with the business community to help our local economy thrive.” From the district, the participants were McEwan, Mayor James Baker and Coun. Lisa Cameron while there were five people from the Lake Country Chamber of Commerce and one person from the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission. More than 80 businesses were canvassed. “Civic leaders can better connect with businesses in their communities through the face-to-face conversation that is initiated, and identify and remove barriers to doing business in their areas,” said Corie Griffiths, COEDC business development officer. Cameron says she learned a lot while speaking with business owners.

Lake Country Rotary flips pancakes for food bank Morning Star Staff
Members of the Lake Country Rotary Club are teaming up with Interior Savings Credit Union for a pancake breakfast fundraiser Saturday. The event will take place at the Interior
Savings branch in Lake Country. The branch is located at 9522 Main St. and the fundraising event runs from 9 a.m. to noon. The pancake breakfast will mark the start of a fundraising campaign being led by
Rotary to provide a new home for the local food bank. Lake Country council has approved relocation of the food bank to property immediately east of the Lake Country Seniors’ Centre.
The current food bank facility is inadequate to meet the growing needs of the community. Building on the now empty lot will await the completion of the Rotary Club’s fundraising campaign.

News B.C. horses valuable
I
n the early 1880s, the ranchers of B.C. were closely watching the developments across the mountains. When the Canadian government opened vast areas of land for ranching leases in 1881, it was obvious that a ranching industry that would soon eclipse the one in B.C. would develop. But the good news was that the ranchers there would need good quality cattle and horses. In both of these categories, B.C. was second to none. And, even though there was lots of livestock available in Montana, the quality of that stock was generally inferior to B.C.’s, especially the horses. On the open range, each cowboy had eight or more horses for round-up: tough circle horses for rounding up, a sure-footed gentle pony for night riding, a cutting horse for working herds, a roping horse and a good horse for swimming rivers. Most of all, cowboys were looking for horses that could handle large, heavy cattle and preferred the bigger B.C. stock over the smaller American cow ponies. Drovers like Adam Ferguson and Jim Christie, who had drove horses through the Yellowhead Pass in 1874, and John Shaw, who had driven the first commercial cattle onto the prairies through the North Kootenay Pass in 1875, had proven that the Rocky Mountains were not a barrier. By the 1880s, better trails were being developed through the mountains, particularly the Crowsnest Pass, which opened in the east to the primary ranching area. During the 1880s there was a huge influx of B.C. horses and horsemen to Alberta.
In 1882, Oscar Rush, who worked for Johnny Wilson of the JW Ranch in Grande Prairie (now Westwold), drove 150 horses through the Okanagan Valley. The herd was then crossed into the United States at Osoyoos and given a temporary permit to cross U.S. territory on the way east. Normally a special Ken Mather envoy accompanied the herd through the U.S. at a cost to the drovers of four dollars a day plus expenses to ensure that the horses were not sold in the U.S. without customs duty being charged. Rush and his cowboys drove the herd down the Okanagon River (as it was spelled in the U.S.) to Omak Lake and then across the Colville Indian Reservation. The herd was swum across the Columbia River and then via Spokane Falls to cross back into Canada at Bonners Ferry. From there they travelled through the Crowsnest Pass to Fort Macleod, where they were broken. When Rush heard that the Oxley Ranch was looking for horses, he drove them to the Garnett brothers’ ranch near Pincher Creek where he held them for inspection. John Craig, manager of the Oxley Ranch, was impressed and bought 116 of them. Craig later noted: “The first purchase of stock for the Oxley Ranch was a band of 116 horses from a Mr. Rush, who had brought them in from British Columbia and was holding them at Garnett’s ranch. They were a very good sort, and cost $70 per head.” The ranchers in the area were impressed with the quality of the horses.
RANCH TALES
We’re MOVING effective October 1st, 2012
One wrote, “These B.C. horses, as they were locally called, were derived from Morgan and thoroughbred crosses on Spanish foundation stock. Exceptionally active, good looking mounts, they were big and tough as rawhide.” This reputation was to make B.C. horses particularly valued in the next few years and would allow the ranchers of B.C. to sell off a large portion of their excess horses in southern Alberta. Ken Mather is curator at O’Keefe Ranch.

Stuart McLean is back at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Monday to tell a new Dave and Morley story from the Vinyl Cafe.
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Kamloops This Week
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Thursday afternoon and Stuart McLean is in the living room of a house in Austin, Tex., working on the tale he will tell audience members in Vernon in less than two weeks. He is two scenes from completing the first draft and he knows he is cutting it close. He always does, he says. He likes writing to deadline. Those who know of McLean and his Vinyl Cafe radio series on CBC Radio that tell the stories of Dave, Morley, Stephanie and Sam are well aware of the brilliance in the storytelling. Those who have never heard McLeanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s avuncular, Jimmy Stewart-tinged voice captivate every sense of the listener, well, they are all the poorer for it. McLeanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vinyl Cafe is like an old friend, a comfortable chair, a weekly chat with your barber â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it really is an art form that strips away all pretense and demands only from the listener their imagination. McLean is a three-time winner of the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour. He is author of a dozen books of unparalleled humour. He has a number of honorary degrees and maintains a collection of various awards. But, he is and always will be a writer, a documentarian of the lives of people, regular people who are all around us, every day. His attention to the lives of others is not unlike that of Barry Broadfoot and his landmark series of books, presented as an oral history of Canada, told by those who lived it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never thought of that before, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good observation,â&#x20AC;? McLean says. McLean says when he took in a stage play of Broadfootâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ten Lost Years (chronicling the Great Depression in Canada), he was, literally, left speechless. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was one of the most profound stage presentations I have ever seen.â&#x20AC;? Broadfoot, McLean â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about telling the story. As McLean notes, the art of writing a story is not in the idea, but in the execution of the idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ideas are a dime a dozen,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have notebooks of ideas. You want one? You can have 10.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logging the hours and turning ideas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; good and bad â&#x20AC;&#x201D; into stories that becomes the art.

McLean will take to the stage at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Monday night, and will tell another tale from the lives of Dave, Morley, Stephanie and Sam, the fictitious Toronto family that has been a staple of The Vinyl Cafe since it premiered in 1994. He will write 10 stories a year, about a story a month, which, he concedes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is a lot of work.â&#x20AC;? The stories he writes are at times shaped by the audience as he jumps from town to town. The tale he tells in Kelowna may be the same tale he tells in Kamloops, in Vernon, in Prince George, though there may be tweaks to the art form by the time The Vinyl Cafe reaches the final stop. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all part of a long collaboration, McLean says, between him and the idea, between him and story editor Meg Milton, between him and producer Jess Milton and between him and his audience. That collaboration has led to The Vinyl Cafe becoming the poignant powerhouse it is today, its stories beamed across Canada, into the United States and across the Atlantic to England. To millions of listeners, McLean is the storyteller with a humorous touch, the walking, breathing book that, each year, opens to reveal tales that can make you laugh, cry and sigh. In his life before The Vinyl Cafe, however, McLean was a hard-news journalist, winning
an ACTRA award for best radio documentary for coverage of the Jonestown massacre in Guyana in 1979. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t right now,â&#x20AC;? he says when asked if he misses the hard-news life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of a progression of a writer. As an artist, you are always looking to challenge yourself. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for thin ice. If I get bored, the reader will be right behind me.â&#x20AC;? One day, The Vinyl Cafe will close forever. McLean knows that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m kind of scared it will have to end one day,â&#x20AC;? he says. When that day comes, he says, he would give serious consideration to standing for public office (he is not a member of a political party) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but he will continue to write. He may not be big, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a writer.
Stuart McLean on the Order of Canada, newspapers On Sept. 28, Stuart McLean was invested as an Office in the Order of Canada in a ceremony at Rideau Hall in Ottawa. The Officer of the Order of Canada recognizes a lifetime of achievement and merit of a high degree, especially in service to Canada or to humanity at large. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As it happens, they phoned me a year in advance,â&#x20AC;? McLean says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The call came out of the blue. I felt profoundly moved when that call came. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have tried to tell the story of Canada. I
have tried to stand by the values that are important in this country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When that call came, I felt like it was a confirmation of both these values and what I have been doing.â&#x20AC;? McLeanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Vinyl Cafe Notebooks is a collection of essays on an eclectic mixture of topics. One essay, The Morning Paper, details McLeanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of newspapers, a relationship that stretches back to his childhood, to the days of the morning paper and afternoon paper, to the experience of grabbing a section and trading it for another section while sitting at the kitchen table with the family, to the bedtime ritual of crawling under the covers with the funny pages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reading the paper as a kid, it was like the Internet and all the forbidden mysteries of the world tied into one,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pleasure of the paper in those days was different as I was a boy and everything was new to me.â&#x20AC;? Today, McLean remains an ink-stained fan as he subscribes to The Globe and Mail, The Guardian and NYTimes.com. Stuart McLean takes the stage at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Monday at 7 p.m. Musical guest is east meets west master musician Harry Manx. Tickets are $53/adult, $33/student 18 and under at the Ticket Seller, 250-549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

The clickety-clack of metal taps hitting a shiny floor have been immortalized in some fine dance numbers over the years. Think of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers clicking their toe-heels to Pick Yourself Up from the film Swing Time or Gene Kelly’s masterful moves in Singin’ in the Rain. Tap dancing has come back in fine fashion, as locals will see ––and hear–– when The Vernon Performing Arts Centre Society presents It’s About Time as the start of its 201213 dance series Oct. 20. Featuring the Vancouver Tap Ensemble, TapCo and guest artists, It’s About Time is a rhythmic romp energized by technical prowess and innovative choreography. Some of the city’s finest hoofers and hottest feet are backed by live musicians to engage audiences in an unforgettable percussive conversation that features tones, syncopated rhythms and over-the-top steps executed in rapid-fire succession, said Kip Whelpley, the Performing Arts Centre’s new dance outreach coordinator. Think of Sammy Davis Jr, dueling with Gregory Hines, and times that by 50 or more dancers. “To see the Vancouver Tap Ensemble and TapCo perform is to be truly inspired; not only by the sheer excitement of top-ranked tap dancing, but also by witnessing what the youth have acquired directly from masters of the art they perform next to,” said Whelpley. Developed by the Vancouver Tap Dance Society, the Vancouver Tap

The Vancouver Tap Ensemble and TapCo throw up their hats to It’s About Time, coming to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre on Oct. 20. Ensemble was created out of a desire to build an avenue for local, professional tap dance in the city. To ensure the future of tap, the society created TapCo, a youth performance ensemble that features a crew of 14 youth ages 11 to 17 and eight young adults ages 18 to 24. All practise out of a studio located on Vancouver’s East Hastings Street, a hub of tap dance in the city. “The Vancouver Tap Ensemble and TapCo truly embrace the passion of youth in dance and it’s growing in leaps and bounds,” said Whelpley. Local tap dance students, instructors, and those who love the spirit of what tap dance stands for won’t want to miss this one. It’s About Time takes the stage at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Oct. 20 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $30/ adult, $27/senior, $25/student, $5 eyeGO, with discounts for members of the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Society. They are available at the Ticket Seller box office, 250-549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

A
n all-girl college a cappella group called The Bellas has been boring Barden University with their rather dull versions of 20th century standards. A somewhat reluctant freshman, (freshwoman?) who can both sing and produce remixes, gets roped into joining The Bellas. After butting Taylor & Howe heads with the group’s leader over their repertoire, Beca (Anna Kendrick) convinces them the way to win is to be hip, modern and sexy. We say, “Gleekers should love it.” TAYLOR: Anna Kendrick has been in a few movies that I’ve enjoyed, Up in the Air, 50/50, but I wasn’t aware that she could sing. Although, I guess with the technology available today, I think anyone could be made to seem as if they can sing. However, this movie did nothing to offend my ears and as singing was the main feature of the film, Pitch Perfect succeeds well enough. HOWE: I’m always a sucker for musicals and there’s been a couple of music/dance films this year: Rock of Ages and Step Up Revolution. Pitch Perfect is up there with them. I haven’t seen Kendrick in anything, but I thought she did a fine job as the moody teenager.
REEL REVIEWS
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS
Anna Kendrick stars as Beca in the musical romp, Pitch Perfect. TAYLOR: I like mash ups, (where you mix songs together using elements from each), and that seemed to be Beca’s forte. Only, rather than mixing music, The Bellas mixed choral arrangements. All of the musical numbers in the film were well done, interesting and pleasant to listen to. HOWE: Even the cheesy remix of Don’t You Forget About Me at the end of the movie? TAYLOR: Yes, well there had to be something meaningful, something for the subplot to sink its teeth into. I’ve got noth-
ing against Simple Minds, but they should have chosen a more modern movie song to stick to the plot. Then again, no one should be going to this movie for the plot anyway, despite there being some decent laughs in it. HOWE: Most of the funnies you can see in the trailer for this movie, yet saying that, it is still a fun movie. Nearly all the laughs come from Aussie actress Rebel Wilson. Her timing and delivery of the jokes are spot on. The real comic genius comes in the form of commentators Gail (Elizabeth Banks) and John (John Michael Higgins). TAYLOR: The commentators, with their often inappropriate comments, reminded me of the commentators in Dodgeball or Best in Show. And, I agree, Rebel Wilson’s self-deprecation and hooked barbs provided the best zingers. However, I think the funniest character in the film was Lilly, (Hana Mae Lee), who whispered all her lines, barely audibly, like they were confessions: “I set fires just to feel joy.” HOWE: Pitch Perfect has a little bit of everything thrown in: romance, great songs, excellent singing, comedy and strained relationships. If you want something candy flossish and not something that takes itself seriously then this is it. –– Howe gives Pitch Perfect 3.5 magic tricks out of 5. –– Taylor gives it 2.5 jugs of jiggle juice out 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

rhythm is relentless and often a kick drum is the only hint of percussion. In Whispers in the Dark and I Will Wait, the pace is forward and solid and the banjo cycles through the music like a wheel, bringing in elements of piano and percussion. They’ve mastered the art of mixing this potentially abrasive instrument. Mumford & Sons are breaking new ground as they go forward, but similarities can be heard to other acousti-centric acts. Mumford’s voice recalls Dave Matthews in his quieter moments and the band’s presentation
is akin to lesser known fellow Brit folkers, Dry the River. But no matter, Mumford & Sons bring the big elements together in their own inspired manner. They also echo British lyric folk traditions, merging imagery, folklore and a literary backdrop into an almost pagan festive celebration. This is mixed in with muted religious themes (Lover of the Light) as well as basic symbolism (Ghosts That We Knew). There’s no protest or dissent in this folk music, just a good time –– no cheap thrills needed.

Give the gift of vision to people in need Morning Star Staff
For many people around the world, sight is empowering: without it, they have limited access to education and the ability to provide for their families. Today, the doctors and staff at Vernon Optometry are taking steps to improve that access by participating in World Sight Day Challenge in support of the Optometry Giving Sight organization. The staff will provide free frame adjustments and cleanings. It will be a fun day with many prizes to be won including a pair of men’s Smith sports sunglasses and women’s designer Coach sunglasses. There will be a candy-guess contest for the kids and much more. The practice will donate $50 from every eye-exam that day to Optometry Giving Sight. In addition to today’s celebrations, Vernon Optometry will host a silent auction throughout the month. Donations have been abundant and include sun-

glasses by Fendi and Michael Kors, any Burberry frame, a year’s supply of prescription contact lenses, and three free pairs of prescription lenses available to be won. Stop by and place your bid. All proceeds will go to Optometry Giving Sight, an organization dedicated to providing education, training and all around services in the optical fields of developing communities. The funds raised from World Sight Day Challenge will be directed to 35 projects across 23 countries around the world. Vernon Optometry is teaming with Optometry Giving Sight to achieve the shared goal of eliminating avoidable blindness by the year 2020. Dr. Meghan Ashton was inspired by stories like that of Loid Semente, who is one of the students training to become an optometrist with the Mozambique Eyecare Project, supported by Optometry Giving Sight. Loid will be one of the
first optometrists in her country. She is passionate about optometry because of the significant impact it can have for the people of Mozambique. “Sight is empowering,” she said. “For some, access to eye care is the first step towards getting an education, or providing for your family.” Vernon Optometry has been supporting Optometry Giving Sight for seven years and is proud to contribute to the cause. “The World Sight Day Challenge is a great way to help support the millions of people who don’t have access to the basic eye care that we take for granted,” said Ashton. The World Sight Day Challenge is coordinated by Optometry Giving Sight, to raise funds for projects that provide vision care, local training and infrastructure support for people who are blind or vision impaired due to uncorrected refractive error, simply the need for an eye exam and a pair of glasses. Vernon Optometry is at 100, 3605-31st St.

family. She decided to go without discussing it with us. We had made plans to get her a new apartment that week so she could move in prior to classes starting, and she totally blew us off. I am so hurt by this. It seems disrespectful to us and to the com-

mitment she has as a daughter. I have communicated very little with her since she left for school. How can I let her know this behavior is unacceptable? I am also disappointed in her boyfriend, who has known us long enough to be more sensitive to our family. What should I do? — A Mom Dear Mom: Yes, it was rude that Brianna did not discuss the change in plans with you, but she is trying to assert her independence, and we recommend you let her. That means she should make more of her own decisions, and you need to stop paying for them. If Brianna receives a free trip to Hawaii and blows off apartment hunting, let her handle her own living arrangements. Don’t do it for
her or fret that she won’t have a place to live. She’ll manage. Let her find a part-time job to pay for things you don’t want to finance. Help her become a responsible, mature adult instead of a dependent child. You’ll be grateful later. Dear Annie: I’ve been married to “Charlie” for 35 years.

your sleep habits to match his, waking up later so you aren’t too tired to stay up until the wee hours. Counseling helps only if both parties agree to work on what needs to be changed. If Charlie won’t address this, you can get counseling on your own and decide whether you will put up with the current situation in order to stay married. If you opt to stick around, adjust your attitude so that your focus is not on Charlie and his sleep habits, but on whatever makes you happy when you’re awake. Dear Annie: I am writing about the letter from “His Mom,” whose 15-year-old son is having sex with his 15-year-old girlfriend. They wanted to know who is responsible for
paying for the girl’s birth control pills. As the mother of a 15-year-old boy, I’d like to say that what I loved about this letter is that both kids had talked to their parents about having sex. That is amazing and says a lot about both sets of parents. Kudos to them. Here’s my simple response: I think the boy should pay for condoms that he assiduously wears, and the girl should pay for her birth control pills. It provides double protection for pregnancy and the added benefit of STD protection. — Jen from Connecticut Please e-mail your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737-3rd St., Hermosa Beach, Calif. 90254.

ested in learning to help people help themselves. This volunteer experience is invaluable for everyone who takes part whether you are a student, work in the helping field or an individual who finds it rewarding to help people in need of emotional support, community referrals or crisis intervention. The Crisis Line exists for people who need someone to talk to about what’s going on for them and to access many community services using the line’s extensive database. “Often people don’t realize what services are available to them or that they can call anytime day or night and talk to someone who will empathize and assist them,” said Jane, a volunteer. “I wanted to truly be helpful to those in need and give back to this wonderful community. “The training gave me confidence and taught me the necessary skills to fulfill that need, but more than that, I learned skills that I can apply to many facets of my personal life.” The PIN Crisis Line started in Vernon in 1975 and is the only crisis line in the province that has operated uninterrupted 24/7, 365 days

The Crisis Line begins volunteer training in November. a year for the past 37 years, thanks to many dedicated volunteers throughout those years. PIN is now a partner of five crisis lines located in the Interior Health Authority catchment area. “When one of our volunteer Crisis Line workers is busy on a call, the next incoming call will route to the next available Crisis Line partner,” said Sharon Durant, program manager. The new phone number to reach the PIN Crisis Line is 1-888353-CARE (2273). For individuals going into social work, human service work and the psychology related fields, potential employers such as mental health (IHA) value the skill set and knowledge that these volunteers bring to the workplace. The hours on the line will also fulfill
the required volunteer expectation of your program. Participants will learn enhanced communication skills and the difference between healthy and unhealthy behaviours. If you can give the gift of time and wish to make a difference in the lives of others then consider becoming a member of the Crisis Line team. The volunteer commitment is a total of 200 hours and is fulfilled by completing three four-hour shifts and one overnight shift per month. The shift calendar is generally flexible to accommodate varying needs. For more information or to book an interview, call 250-545-8074. You may also apply online at www.peopleinneed.ca.

Log Barn has a heart for Special Olympics Morning Star Staff
The Log Barn is well-known for its tasty treats, friendly goats and local produce. But the owners of the Enderby business are also invested in the community and have recently presented a cheque for $7,400 to Special Olympics. This donation was made possible through the Log Barn’s Sunday Sales Program‚ which has all proceeds from Sunday sales going to support local charities. The much needed donation will be used to fund bowling, one of the most popular sports within the Vernon Special Olympicsprogram,drawing more than 80 players to Lincoln Lanes for two hours every Saturday from September to April. “We hope that our contribution will help provide athletes more opportunities to become involved within the Special Olympics program,” says Log Barn representative Kimberley Clark. Each participant has to come up with $6 per session and the Vernon Special Olympics board pays for the rest. “This is by far our most expensive program, cost wise, but so worth it,” says Sandee Carson

Special to The Morning Star
Today’s medicine, whether conventional or alternative, is based on the theory that diseases are dysfunctions of the organism, and tend to treat physical symptoms in isolation from the patient’s mental and emotional stresses. After the tragic loss of his son in 1978, Dr. R. G. Hamer, MD, subsequently developed cancer. Working as head internist in a German cancer clinic, he was moved to research the connection between emotional trauma and cancer. With more than 40,000 case studies he has proven scientifically that much of what we consider to be disease, including cancer, originates from an unexpected conflict or emotional shock (biological

ing what it does to the participants in improving their confidence and social development, it was easy to choose Special Olympic athletes as the recipient.” This is not the first time the Log Barn has donated locally; last month the Clarks presented a cheque for $6,570 to Vernon Kid Sport. “In our culture, Sunday has always been a family day — with the Sunday Sales program we have the opportunity to bless the day and families from within the community we live,” says Eric.

Activity Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL In coming months, you might get far more opportunities to accomplish your purposes than you’ve ever had previously. However, keep in mind that just because they’re plentiful doesn’t mean they should be treated casually.
PUZZLE NO. 203
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) There is a strong likelihood that you will focus on your hopes rather than on actually doing what needs to be done. Good intentions cannot replace industriousness.
ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203
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. 110725

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Someone who is aware of your gullibility might dangle a carrot at the end of a stick in order to entice you to trot off after the unattainable. Be on guard. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Try to be aware of the fact that you cannot be all things to all people if you are required to make a painful choice. If you fail to be objective and logical, you’ll let everyone down. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Don’t start an important assignment without first laying out a specific game plan. It will be critical to have your methods and procedures figured out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Be extremely careful with your investments or anything else that requires financial risk. Make certain that the odds are substantiated by the facts, before you make any bets. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) There is no reason why you should have faith in someone who has offered you bad advice previously. This person may want to be helpful but doesn’t have the wherewithal to do so. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Unfortunately, success could be denied you because, for some reason, you’re likely to do the opposite of what you’re supposed to. Pay attention to what must get done. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Although you know deep down that great opportunities are likely to
come in your career, you may forget it from time to time. Your associates won’t, however. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In order to achieve your objectives, you must be tenacious and consistent. If you’re depending on chance to see you through, you’re in for a big disappointment. CANCER (June 21-July 22) By failing to be realistic, you could lull yourself into a false sense of security regarding your opposition. Don’t underestimate your rivals; they could be stronger than you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) If you’re single, put your credit cards in deep storage. If you’re married, let your spouse manage the finances. You can’t be trusted with money right now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) By requesting a favor from an egotistical friend, all you’re likely to do is embarrass yourself. This particular person loves to use rejection as a power play.

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.

Smoke alarms key for safety Morning Star Staff
CSRD PHOTO
Kenn Mount, CSRD fire services co-ordinator, shows Rowan Aura, Cecilia Pelletier and Regina Pelletier the basic workings of a fire alarm.
During Fire Prevention Week, Falkland residents are reminded to make sure their smoke detectors are working. “Most homes have smoke detectors, but it’s surprising how many people don’t remember to test them regularly to make sure they’re working. If they’re not functioning, they’re not going to do any good if there’s a fire,” said Kenn Mount, ColumbiaShuswap Regional District fire services co-ordinator. “The Canadian statistics show that without a working smoke alarm, your chances of not surviving a fire increases by 74 per cent.” Mount says a detector is the first line of defense, but it’s just
OCTOBER IS POWER SMART MONTH. WASTE LESS POWER AND MONEY.
“If they’re not functioning, they’re not going to to do any good if there’s a fire.” — Kenn Mount as important that all members of the family know what to do when the alarm goes off. “It’s a good idea to have a family escape plan in case of a fire in your home,” he said. “Practice the plan and make sure your children understand what they should do if they hear the warning sounds from the smoke detector. The escape plan should include a meeting point outside the home.” When you practice your safe-

ty plan, make sure you practice using an alternate way to get out of the house in case one exist is blocked. “Fires can double every 30 seconds so it’s important that everyone knows to stay low to the ground and start working their way toward one of your two ways out,” said Mount. “Practicing this as a family is really important since everyone will be better prepared to deal with a fire event at home.”
Garden tour helps charities Black Press
The Lake Country Garden Tour in June has resulted in donations to two local groups. The host Lake Country Garden Club presented a cheque for $1,500 to the Lake Country Food Bank, and another for $900 to the Central Okanagan Boys and Girls Club. Judy Poole, a garden club member, said this was the third garden tour, drawing attendance from people in Vernon to West Kelowna. Poole said the club made similar donations last year to the same two organizations. The Boys and Girls club donation was generated from a garden tour raffle, in which 13 artists donated a work of art in return for having their artistry on display at one of the home gardens participating in the tour. Poole said the 45-member club holds two main events annually, the garden tour on the second Saturday in June and the plant sale on the second Saturday in May. “We appreciate the support from the community to help make the donations possible.”

Flu immunization clinics get underway Morning Star Staff
Flu season is approaching and public health nurses are gearing up for the launch of this year’s vaccination campaign. Public flu clinics will begin in some communities the week of Oct. 15. “There are many myths and misconceptions about the flu shot so it’s important for people to get accurate information to help them stay healthy,” said Dr. Rob Parker, Interior Health Authority medical health officer. “For example, the flu shot cannot give you the flu. The vaccine used in B.C. contains dead influenza viruses
that cannot cause infection.” Influenza is a highly contagious infection and can be very serious, especially for those with heart, lung and other health problems. In years when influenza is widespread in B.C., hundreds of people may die from influenza or its complications, such as pneumonia. “The two most important ways to protect yourself from getting the flu are to wash your hands frequently and get your flu shot,” said Parker. “Flu vaccinations are a proven, safe and effective way to reduce your chances of getting the flu. The flu shot also
lessens the severity of symptoms for those who do get the flu.” In B.C. the flu vaccine is free for: ■ People 65 years and older and their caregivers/household contacts ■ All children age 6 to 59 months of age ■ Household contacts and caregivers of infants age 0 to 59 months of age ■ Children and adults with chronic health conditions and their household contacts ■ Aboriginal people ■ Children (6 months to 18 years) with conditions treated for long periods of time with Aspirin® or ASA

and their household contacts ■ Residents of nursing homes and other chronic care facilities ■ Pregnant women who will be in their third trimester during influenza season and their household contacts (pregnant women who are in other high
risk groups can be immunized at any time during the pregnancy) ■ People who are very obese ■ Health care and other care providers in facilities and community settings who are capable of transmitting influenza disease to those at high risk of
influenza complications ■ People who provide essential community services (first responders, corrections workers) ■ People who work with live poultry and/ or swine People not eligible for the free flu vaccine through the publicly-
funded program should contact their physician, local pharmacy, walkin clinic, travel clinic or private provider. To find a flu vaccination clinic near you, watch for local announcements in the North Okanagan or visit the IHA website at www.interiorhealth.ca.

Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors intend to stir up the waters with a letter to Ottawa. The district recently received news that the federal government has pulled the plug on Transport Canada’s Office of Boating Safety in Kelowna. “They’re consistently wanting local government to do a job that is their mandate,” said director Rhona Martin, who noted that, through a great deal of effort to patrol the lake from all levels of government, behaviour on the lake is changing for the better. Rhona Martin “If one of the players leave, it will change. I am disappointed to see this and I want to write a letter encouraging the federal government to stay in Kelowna.” Marcin Pachcinski, CSRD parks and recreation team leader, concurred. “I think the biggest impact on the lake is a show of force working with the RCMP that obviously will no longer happen,” he said. Added Martin, “I think this is the first time we’ve seen the (RCMP) boat – since SLIPP (Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process) stepped up enforcement. I think it would be sad to go back.” The regional district was advised of the boating safety office closure in a Sept. 11 letter, which read: “Effective immediately, all Pacific Region recreational boating safety programs and services are centralized to Vancouver and will be handled by four remaining boating safety officers there.” All marine safety inquiries should now be directed to 604-666-5300 or obs-pac-bsn@tc.gc.ca

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder HOW CAN YOU GET PARTNER ON LEAD? Lao-tzu, who is credited with founding Taoism in the sixth century B.C., said, “To lead people, walk behind them.” Is that the first example of back-seat driving? It would be nice at the bridge table to have an expert sitting behind you, ready to steer you in the right direction. In today’s deal, what would West’s kibitzer advise? South is in four hearts. West leads the spade king: three, jack, two. West continues with the spade five: six, nine, ace. South then plays the ace and another heart. What happens after that? North made a negative double, showing four hearts
(or perhaps five or six when not strong enough to respond two hearts). South jumped aggressively to game. What tricks can West see? One spade (the play has marked East with the J-10-9 and South with A-2), one heart and one diamond. However, it would be two diamonds if East could win a trick and shift to that suit. How might that happen? Based on the bidding, East cannot have much. If he has the club queen, that will not help, because declarer can finesse the suit through East. A great card would be the heart jack. And East is marked with that card when South cashes the heart ace. With A-J-x-x of hearts, surely South would have crossed to dummy with
a club and taken the heart finesse. Under the heart ace, West must throw his king. Then East will gain the lead in hearts, and a diamond shift brings about the demise of declarer. If a declarer-play point has occurred to you, tune in tomorrow.

Sandi Batchelor We regret to announce the death at Hospice House in Vernon on October 6, 2012, of Sandi Batchelor, at the age of 49 years.
Connie (Constance Joyce) Leger, only daughter of Rose and Joe Shutek, passed away peacefully at the age of eighty-two.
Sandi was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She was a resident in France for some years, and moved to Montreal prior to coming to Vernon nine years ago. She was a loving wife and mother and was very active with the PAC at Kidston School.
Connie was born and raised in Trail, BC, where she met and married John Matthews. While raising three children, they moved to Edmonton and then Vernon. She later married Robert Leger, who had three children, and settled in the lower mainland for the past thirty years.
Sandi will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her husband of 19 years, Mark; sons Austin and Chase; her parents Paul and Lila Dettlaff in Georgia, sister Kym Stutzman in Georgia, brother Paul (Michelle) Dettlaff in Florida, and numerous extended family members.
LEGER, Connie April 13, 1930 - October 7, 2012
She was known for her glowing warmth and spirit, with a zest for life. She was a devoted mother, patron of the arts, an artist, a culinary master and hostess extraordinaire. Leading by example, she was poised, gracious and stylish. She loved deeply and was deeply loved by those around her. She will be survived by her loving husband Robert, her children Daryl (Maxine), Selina (Wayne), Tracy (Wayne), Richard (Carol Ann) and Tania, as well as her grandchildren Ryan (Susy), Mark (Sarah), Robert, Zachary (Siobhann) and Jason. She was predeceased by her stepson Dale. Her Legacy will be Everlasting. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BC Cancer Society or the BC Heart and Stroke Foundation.

y column on skills training a couple of weeks ago gave short shrift to the NDP position: tax the banks and hand out grants for women’s studies, sociology and other worthless pursuits, while skilled jobs go begging. That’s a pretty crude caricature, so I sat down with NDP leader Adrian Dix in his lLgislature office last week to get a better sense of his thinking on the subject. Dix has been devot-
ing a lot of time lately to skills training, in trades particularly. He meets frequently with business people now, and his recent speeches emphasize that every one of them talks about the growing shortage of skilled employees. Dix credits Premier Christy Clark and Jobs Minister Pat Bell
with making some good moves recently, announcing equipment upgrades for vocational programs around the province. He says it’s because the NDP have been “pounding away at them for eight months” about freezing Tom Fletcher advanced education spending in their March budget. Dix calls that a crucial mistake and predicts the government will

reverse it soon. “So I think, if we’re going to have a mission for four years as a government, if we’re elected, this is the mission: to start to address the skills shortage,” he told me. In his speech to the recent municipal convention, and again at an NDP provincial council meeting, Dix zeroed in on B.C.’s apprenticeship system. Since the B.C. Liberals took it from trade unions and set up a Crown corpora-
tion called the Industry Training Authority in 2004, the completion rate for apprentices has fallen to 37 per cent, he said. Dix assured me he isn’t proposing to “blow up” the ITA, or hand control back to unions. They will have “a voice,” along with business. Speaking to the NDP executive, Dix referred to Phil Hochstein, president of the nonunion Independent Contractors and

Businesses’ Association, as the symbol of trades training decline. Not surprisingly, Hochstein has a different take. The 37 per cent figure is misleading, Hochstein said, because under the ITA there are currently 32,000 apprentices in the system, twice as many as when it was union controlled. Many drop out in the first year, and Alberta claims a better completion rate because they don’t start counting until the second year. And when Dix touts Alberta’s “mandatory” trade system, Hochstein said he means returning to a system where all work is restricted to journeymen or registered apprentices of that trade. “What it does is impose union jurisdiction on the training system of the entire construction industry,” Hochstein said. “So multi-skilling, multitasking, organizing the work in the most efficient way is blown out of the water, and it’s stuck in the old craft system of training.” The marketplace has spoken on that restrictive system, he said, and
unionized construction is down to about five per cent of the market, based on payroll. Hochstein said the NDP talks a great game about getting more young people into trades. But when unions have the upper hand, they will always favour seniority. A quota of two apprentices per journeyman means another one can’t be hired. Dix agreed with me that the public school system has overemphasized university, to the detriment of not just industrial trades but lab techs, chefs and other skilled workers that are in short supply. As B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair recently noted, tradesmen themselves often don’t encourage their kids, because they’ve been told all their lives that they are “tool monkeys” in a dead-end job. And would NDP student grants be targeted to need? Dix’s answer was a definite maybe. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

The B.C. government is introducing a single cutting permit procedure to make it easier for local governments, First Nations and other non-commercial organizations throughout the province to harvest timber from community forests. Right now, organizations that manage community forest agreements have to apply for a permit for each site in their licence area where they Steve Thomson want to cut down trees, a system which often leads to the need for multiple permits. The change means that eligible organizations will only need a single cutting permit, good for up to four years, for the entire community forest. “The B.C. government is a strong supporter of the community forest concept,” said Steve Thomson, forests minister. “Community forests support local social, economic and environmental priorities. They help maintain jobs and recreational opportunities, foster long-term environmental stewardship and build a stronger sense of community.”
