bus to UBC. But when a second bus began in 2010, Vernon picked up the additional $120,000 a year because other communities had concerns about costs and use among their residents. RDNO members have now agreed to fund the second bus and that requires the creation of a funding service. However, the provincial government says public approval is required first. If 10 per cent of electors sign an alternate approval petition opposing the establishment of the service by 4 p.m., the function cannot proceed. Director Juliette Cunningham questions why the provincial government is demanding the approval process when there is such a need for the transit service. “The province is encouraging public tranFROM sit but I find it (process) surprising. It’s a lot we have to go through,” she said.

A referendum on a proposed Greater Vernon sports complex is months away, but preparations have begun. The Regional District of North Okanagan board agreed Wednesday to budget $15,000 this year for a public communications process leading up to an April 6, 2013 borrowing referendum. Directors have also pre-approved $2,500 for next year. “They want to start developing information,” said Tannis Nelson, community development co-ordinator, of the referenPatrick Nicol dum steering committee. During the referendum, Greater Vernon residents will be asked to borrow $8.5 million to construct a track and multi-use field at Okanagan College in Coldstream. The communications campaign will include brochures and displays at community events. There will also be a $10,000 3-D model of the proposed facility to expand awareness. “It will have a sense of scale. It will show what the site looks like during the day or at night,” said Keith Pinkoski, parks planner. Patrick Nicol, RDNO chairperson, supports providing residents with details as soon as possible and insists the process for a sports complex must be transparent. “This is a pretty critical moment in Greater Vernon’s history,” he said. “We want to give the public all of the information they need to make a decision. The issue deserves full discussion by the public.” If approved, the $8.5 million would be borrowed over 20 years and the average cost per household could be between $17 and $20 a year.

RCMP commissioner honours local officers ROGER KNOX

Morning Star Staff

early eight years after the accident that took her husband’s life, Annie Lavigne still finds it tough to attend functions where Glen Evely is recognized. Evely, a Vernon RCMP auxiliary constable, was killed on duty on Nov. 13, 2004 while in a police car patrolling an area in downtown Vernon where there was a report of a stolen vehicle and high-speed pursuit. Evely was killed when the stolen vehicle collided with the police car. Lavigne accepted the RCMP Memorial Memento, a sterling silver medallion handcrafted by the Royal Canadian Mint in honour of fallen members’ memories, at the RCMP E Division (B.C.) Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medals and Long Service Awards Ceremony Wednesday at the Prestige Hotel in Vernon. “It’s very emotional but it’s also an honour,” said Lavigne following Wednesday’s presentation from B.C. RCMP Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens. “It’s an honour that the city and the RCMP recognize my husband for what he did. Even though he lost his life, he was doing what he loved, and we (two kids) do miss him. “It’s not always easy to come to these things but we appreciate what they do and it’s an honour.” Helping to ease the pain somewhat was the fact that Evely’s partner the night he was killed – Const. Frank Grenier – received his 25-year Bronze Clasp for service. Grenier was seriously injured in the accident. “I thought that was great,” said Lavigne. “They are a good family and stick together, it’s very honourable.” More than 100 officers, auxiliaries, retired

Glen Evely, who died on duty. members and civilian employees were honoured with either the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal or Long Service Award medallions and pins. Members from the Vernon-North Okanagan detachment picking up Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medals included:

Supt. Reg Burgess; Insp. Jim McNamara; Sgt. Dave Evans; Sgt. Robb Daly; Cpl. Mark Taylor; Cpl. Trevor Tribes; Const. Jonathan Klassen; Auxiliary Const. Dale Fennell. A 20-year Long Service Medal was presented to Cpl. Gerry Kovacs, while Daly, along with Grenier, earned 25-year Bronze Clasps.

Sgt. Keith Ferguson and Sgt. Bruce Robertson (retired) received their 30-year Silver Clasps. Every recipient was presented his/her honour by Callens. “It’s always a privilege for me to attend ceremonies such as this one,” said Callens.

Bait car nabs suspects in BX area Morning Star Staff

Two would-be car thieves took the bait. Vernon RCMP were alerted Oct. 12 at 1:45 a.m. to a bait car activation in the area of 46th Avenue. The two people drove the vehicle up Silver Star Road towards Rimer Road, but abandoned it when they figured out it was a bait car. “Both suspects took off on foot,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

A 39-year-old woman was located and arrested by police a short distance away. A 35-year-old man managed to leave the area but was arrested the next day. “Indications are these two people had been very active in the City of Vernon checking vehicles that were unlocked and had items visible inside them they could turn into quick cash,” said Molendyk. Both people have since been released on a promise to appear in Vernon Provincial

Court. Vernon RCMP again reminds vehicle owners to continue to remove valuables from their vehicles and always lock your vehicles. Do not become an easy target. The Vernon-North Okanagan detachment continues to use the bait car program as part of its crime reduction strategy to apprehend those individuals who commit auto thefts and thefts from vehicles in the North Okanagan.

Lakers facility proves popular RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s newest community centre is already a busy place. The Lakers Clubhouse on Cummins Road was officially opened Tuesday but it has been hosting activities since last May. “We have had some recreation programs here and private rentals like weddings and anniversaries,” said Doug Ross, recreation services manager. Among the other bookings have been yoga, dance classes, kung-fu and meetings for various groups. It’s expected the schedule will become even busier now that some recent upgrades are completed. Laminate flooring has been installed, as has acoustic panelling and soundproofing. “With the work done, we can program more,” said Ross, adding that the clubhouse will benefit all Vernon residents but especially those in Okanagan Landing. A climbing rock has also been installed outside. “It helps make the facility more kid-friendly,” said Ross. The upgrades cost $94,900, with $74,400 coming from the provincial government. “This is a very beautiful place,” said Bill Bennett, community development minister, during a visit Tuesday. “We want to help communities like Vernon in facilities that will help citizens be active.”

OKLVFA president. “We hope to have several thousand signatures on the petition and put some pressure on them. We don’t want to give up on this. The association gives so much to the community and to taxpayers.” In trying to bring the Landing firefighters under the Vernon Volunteer Firefighters Association, the city states it is trying to create a co-operative approach. “The argument doesn’t hold up. There have been many situations under the existing contract where the city career professionals, Vernon volunteers and members of Okanagan Landing have worked together as a cohesive team,” said Montgomery.

for recruitment, training, purchasing, maintenance and janitorial duties. “When the fire hall becomes a part of the VVFA as currently planned by the city, these jobs will be done by paid city staff,” said Montgomery. Montgomery also believes there will be reduced training and meeting days by 30 per cent. “There will be a big gap (if Landing firefighters quit instead of join the VVFA) and that can be avoided if they negotiate a contract,” he said. However, the city

denies the OKLVFA’s claims. “Volunteers will continue to perform fire hall duties,” said Keith Green, Vernon fire chief. “A reduction of 30 per cent for training? I’m not sure where they get their information. The Vernon volunteers train three Tuesdays a month and there is one meeting night a month.” In terms of claims that the current working relationship is sound, Green expresses concerns, “I don’t know many of their members and that doesn’t sound like a cohesive team to me,”

he said. Mayor Rob Sawatzky questions the Landing firefighters’ campaign. “I wonder on what basis they are asking for community support given that all members have been invited to serve at the Landing hall,” he said. Green insists that not all Landing firefighters are upset with the new service model. “We’ve already had one of their members join our team and there are close to 20 that are interested,” he said.

Both her and the male driver of the Suburu were taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police believe alcohol may be a factor in the accident. Police eventually took down barricades and the highway was reopened to traffic at about 6:30 a.m.

Highway 6 project to begin soon JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

Work will start soon to improve safety around an accident-plagued corner of highway in Coldstream. The realignment of Highway 6, at the Kalamalka Road intersection, is anticipated to start Oct. 29. The $7.5 million project will see the stretch of highway between Ricardo and Grey roads straightened, with an improved intersection including left turn lanes. The new stretch of highway, which is expected to be completed by the fall of 2013, will move motorists over a new railway crossing, east of the current one. “The existing crossing will remain in place to

service Kal Road,” said Ken Aura, senior project manager with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Coldstream Ranch, which borders the highway, will also be granted a cattle crossing under the highway. Aura admits construction is starting a little later than originally planned due to the number of groups involved (Kelowna Pacific Rail, industrial businesses, utilities, ranch operations). “It’s not a huge project but there’s a lot going on,” said Aura, adding that crews may work through the winter if the weather permits. Motorists can expect some delays during construction.

Solving a mystery

he first note arrived at The Morning Star through the after-hours mail slot on a hot July Thursday. It just so happened that on this particular Thursday night, for reasons that now escape me, I stopped off at work after hours, and saw the envelope on the floor. Two words were handwritten on the envelope: ROGER KNOX. Inside was a computergenerated note that read the following: Hi Roger. I presume the team asked to have these made up because of their consistently short seasons. I thought you might enjoy using it. As an astute crime reporter, I’m Roger Knox assuming that you will be able to find out who gave this to you. It was signed A friend. Inside the envelope was a Montreal Canadiens golf tee. Years of covering police and crime immediately led me to realize a couple of things: the handwriting looked like a man’s; the person knew I golfed; and they knew I liked the Montreal Canadiens. And that’s about as much thought as I gave it. Until the following Thursday. That’s when a second envelope showed up with another Canadiens’ golf tee enclosed, along with a longer note. The following Thursday, a package arrived at work, postmarked fromVernon. This one contained a note which made references to things I’ve posted on Facebook – a clue as to who is behind this! – and a special gift: a rubber duck with a Montreal Canadiens uniform and helmet. A couple of weeks passed before another package arrived at work. This one came from Stratford, Ont. It arrived on a Thursday and contained not only another rubber duck, but also a column of colleague Richard Rolke about transit. Richard’s face was defaced (his glasses were coloured in and they gave him a more

AT RANDOM

Bohemian-looking goatee), and the person had atually taken the time to take words from Richard’s column, and underlined them to make another subliminal message: ‘“One has to wonder if you’re not at the mercy of people who don’t want the benefits of a routine. That leads to people who think outside the box.” I would receive one more duck postmarked from Whitehorse, three Montreal Canadiens notepads (from Vernon), a mysterious phone call from a woman left on my work voicemail, asking if I’d received any more rubber duckies in the mail and, the day before my birthday on Wednesday, one apparent final package, postmarked Vernon. It contained three Montreal Canadiens golf balls in a cool carrying case, adorned with the Habs’ logo; a Canadiens puck and – this is, by far, the most perplexing part of the entire mystery – 20 Doug Gilmour hockey cards, though not one of them with Gilmour in a Habs uniform. The note in this package indicated it would be the final gift, that the person wasn’t going to reveal themselves and they wished me a happy birthday. I deduced, based on the line in the note confessing as much, that the person is a friend of mine on Facebook, and I have 700 friends there. Every note was correctly spelled, which eliminates half the friends, and more than $30 was spent on postage alone, again, eliminating a vast majority of the 700 people on my friends’ list. I accused two of my best friends and at least six co-workers of being the masterminds, all of whom adamantly denied any involvement. Finally, after fingerprint dusting, DNA sampling and using my Sherlock Holmes-like investigative powers, I figured out who is behind this mystery. It’s Professor Plum, in the conservatory, with the lead pipe. Fine. I have no clue who has been sending me the stuff, not that I won’t give up trying to solve what has been a very fun riddle. What I do have is some pretty cool swag from a pretty cool friend. Whoever it might be.

The stories almost have urban myth status. If we haven’t actually met the individual in person, we have all heard of a student waiting in line to go from Vernon to the Univerity of B.C. campus in Kelowna. The bus comes, the doors open, students climb aboard and climb aboard to the point that every last inch is filled. Some students are left sitting on the roadside with no way of heading south to their classes. Now it should be pointed out that politicians and taxpayers haven’t been ignorning the needs of students or others pursuing public transport to Kelowna. After all, there are two buses running up and down Highway 97 and that comes with a steep price. But given the current circumstances, there’s no question that more needs to be done. First, it’s not safe to have standing-room only on vehicles whizzing along at high rates of speed. Secondly, it’s not fair to offer a service and yet potential users are left behind. And thirdly, if the service is not dependable, people will start driving to UBC and that defeats the original goal of transit to remove single-occupancy vehicles from the road. Director Rob Sawatzky has suggested that the regional district tweak the schedule in the hopes that additional occupancy can be generated without hiking costs. While that is ideal, it may be unrealistic and taxpayers may have to bite the bullet and provide the resources for a third bus. There is no easy solution, but compares to other bus routes that are virtually empty, the high-demand UBC function is a nice challenge to have to contend with.

Letters

North Okanagan needs bylaw

too was disappointed that the IPE chose to showcase exotic animals this year and agree with Mike and Joanne Douglas' letter that it is a step backwards. A simple search online can educate you with the same information Donna Calver spoke of in her letter to The Morning Star and in my opinion give a more accurate picture of animals in their natural habitat. I am unsure when it became the right of humans to see wild animals up close and/ or ride them. Life is full of haves and have nots, but I do not believe that the suffering of another living creature is justified so a child can be 'educated' or entertained. The SPCA has a lot of valuable information, as do other websites, which document the stress travelling from town to town and being forced to perform or provide rides causes these animals, and this does not even include the neglect TAKING AIM I read, with some concern, John Trainor's scaremongering dressing-down of Steve Gunner in the Sunday edition (9/23/12). It occurs to me that Mr. Trainor, in his haste to dismiss an opinion that clashes with his own, might have misconstrued the premise of Mr. Gunner's letter. The only direct quotation that he uses from said letter is "freeenterprise doctrine" and builds an entire negative case upon those two words. I'm sure there is no doubt in most people's minds that free enterprise is crucial to the way of life that we have (possibly unintentionally) created for ourselves. Mr Gunner is a self-employed farmer and therefore knows as well as Mr. Trainor what free enterprise is all about. I think that while the system of free enterprise is good, the "doctrine" is flawed. One of "privileges we enjoy today", to quote Mr. Trainor, is the Medical Services Plan - brought in, I believe, by a socialist government. What concerns me, however, is Mr. Trainor's assertion that "the danger is if we elect a group of

and abuse that can occur in these types of shows. Information can also be found on the intelligence and emotions these animals are capable of, and the harm that is caused

people who are fundamentally opposed to our way of life and would send us back to the dark ages." I would suggest to you, Mr. Trainor, that with such a flair for the melodramatic, you might want to not confine yourself to the pages of the Morning Star, but instead join Asparagus Community Theatre. They are in need of you. Mark Levey ThANK you Recently, two friends and I set out for Alexander's Pub for a birthday lunch. Upon arrival, I tripped on the seatbelt while exiting the back seat of the car, and came down hard on the pavement with some road rash to my knee. Christine, the waitress at Alexander's, was so very kind and helpful. She provided me with a clean, wet cloth to clean the wound, some Band Aids and a bag of ice. She also helped steady my nerves as I was quite shaken. I would just like to acknowledge publicly how much I appreciated her kindness. I feel that

Christine went above and beyond to supply great customer service. Pam Montie FAIR DISAPPoINTS A very dear friend of mine invited me to the Interior Provincial Exhibition. It was wonderful to see all of the exhibits/wares/crafts. etc. The annual fair is an economic boost for our area as well as exciting for children of all ages. How far are we willing to go, though? While walking through, I was disheartened by the maternity cows on display, ready to give birth. There were crowds of people cajoling and whooping children groping to get inside the cages. Very obviously, most of the crowds neglected to see the distress and anguish that these maternity cows were in as crowd hyper-frenxy was upon them. The mother cow was distressed not having the calm and privacy she needed, mooing, agitated, wanting some privacy, as all animals seek when giving birth. Come on folks, would you like your mother, sister, aunt to give birth in front of a mass crowd jeering on?

ment as similar as possible to their natural habitat. Putting them in a circus or travelling show is just substituting one bad situation for another. It is my understanding that some of the animals at the IPE were rented by the touring company from another company in Ontario. Sadly this is a common occurrence for these animals. They are rented to one travelling show after another and this leads me to question how well the 'handlers' really know these animals and their needs. I think the North Okanagan needs to get with the times and follow the steps of their neighbors (Salmon Arm, Kelowna) and adopt a bylaw to not allow exotic/wild animal performances. Ideas to get your opinion heard can be found on the SPCA website. S. Birban-Lauman

The noise was incredibly loud with added pings from the game vendors, music blaring throughout the area, people yelling, shouting, etc. Do we really need to be so insensitive to the wonderful gift of nature this way? As we continued to explore the IPE grounds, we came upon the goat area. I have personally raised and bred milking goats. All the mother goats had swollen utters and some goats were also in distress. I was told by one of the animal vendors that the goats had to contain their milk for judging purposes (size of swollen utters). All for competitive judging purposes. I wish to thank Carole Wheeler for her letter to the editor, Poor Choice, regarding the exotic animals. In my opinion, the crated lion, tiger, wolves and camels are not animals for public display sideshows or any other display for that matter. Situated by the noisy chainsaw sideshow caused these animals to be overly distressed as well. These animals deserve much better. What has happened to us as a human species? Are we pro-

gressing with human dignity for ourselves and those who shared the planet with us, or are we going backwards in time? Shaldena El Morya

Building a strong and vibrant community is everyone’s business in Lumby. Various organizations got together Wednesday for a ceremonial launch of construction of a children’s spray park and adult fitness equipment in Oval Park. “This was truly a community effort,” said Rick Fairbairn, White Valley Parks and Recreation chairperson. “I am thrilled to see how the community has come together.” The total project cost is $435,322, with $30,000 each coming from the Lumby Lions Club and the Teddy’s Devils and Martin’s Angels ball teams. “This will benefit a lot of the citizens of Lumby and area,” said Mike Takahashi, a Lions member.

Meat rules frustrate Spall One Spallumcheen councillor continues to demand changes to the provincial meat inspection regulations. Christine Fraser fired off a one-page letter to provincial agriculture minister Norm Letnick the morning after she met with the minister at the UBCM convention in Victoria, disheartened by what Letnick said in the meeting. “You said you’re going to meet with Class A facility owners and ‘go for a couple of beers’ to see how they feel,” wrote Fraser. “I don’t know a business owner anywhere that is going to tell you that they don’t need more business.” Fraser said in her letter that five mobile slaughter units set up to service the North Okanagan are now gone, and that the Class A monopoly has resulted in small-scale producers shutting down. Adding to her frustration is that the morning after her meeting with Letnick, she discovered that other municipalities around B.C. had no idea the issues being faced by North Okanagan producers. “They want their agricultural committees and the B.C. Agriculture Council to support us but they haven’t heard of our issue,” said Fraser, referring to

“I’d like to see the policy changed before Dec. 31.” — Christine Fraser

the fact that the North Okanagan has never been issued Class D and E meat inspection licences so on-farm slaughtering can occur. Fraser received unanimous support from council (though Coun. Todd York was absent from Monday’s regular meeting) to forward a motion to Letnick calling for his ministry to change the policy in meat inspection regulations that would allow unlimited Class A licences and at least eight Class D licences for local slaughtering. “And I’d like to see the policy changed before Dec. 31 and the motion added to the CivicBC website so all municipalities can have a look at it,” said Fraser. Mayor Janice Brown also recommended forwarding the motion to the Southern Interior Local Government Association.

Gravel pit withdraws application richard rolke Morning Star Staff

The future of a proposed gravel pit in Oyama is unknown. Lake Country council was supposed to discuss a soil processing and removal permit for an Old Mission Road site Tuesday. But just prior to the meeting, the applicant withdrew the item from the agenda. “There’s no real indication of where things stand with the matter,” said Coun. Owen Dickie. “It’s difficult to know what the plan is.” The applicant had been seeking a temporary use permit and soil removal permit for the 8.34-hectare site. Because it’s on agricultural land, the application would have also had to go to the provincial Agricultural Land Commission for consideration. Lake Country staff was recommending against permits, and Dickie admits he has concerns if the proposal comes forward again. “Our official community plan states that any development of gravel plants should be discouraged until existing plants are depleted and reclaimed,” he said. “There are exist-

ing plants and they are still operating and they have viable product.” Based on other gravel operations, Dickie says common con-

cerns from residents are visual appearance, traffic and noise. Being near orchards is also a complicating factor.

“There have been concerns about the ability to sell apples because of dust (from the gravel),” said Dickie.

Thanks to the Okanagan Landing residents for your continued support!

A focal point for Kingfisher residents is going through a major upgrade. The Regional District of North Okanagan has approved a $20,362 grant to the Kingfisher Community Association for improvemens to the old school. “It will really beef up the efficiency of the building and make it green,” said director Jackie Pearase. The association is proceeding with a number of enhancements including lighting, insulation and windows. “It will enhance the accessibility of this building to the community and lower operating costs,” said David Sewell, RDNO’s general manager of finance. The building is used for a number of community activities, including a library, fitness programs and lectures. “It’s pretty well used,” said Pearase, adding the association offers services residents may not be able to access otherwise. “As the condition of the building increases, it increases what they may be able to use it for.”

Sounds support son with cancer Morning Star Staff

A Vernon mom is hoping to help her cancerstricken son. Music For A Cause will be a fundraiser and dance at the Vernon Elks Hall Saturday from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. Tickets will be available at the door for a minimum suggested donation of $10. Shirley Boomer is putting together the event to help her son Curtis, 21, who has malignant brain tumours. “We want to help concentrate on his healing and not on his financial situation,” said Boomer. Curtis began experiencing persistent headaches and double vision, and, in July, had surgery to relieve some pressure on the brain. “I am doing a fundraiser to help Curtis so he can relax from the constant worry about money on top of going through his medical problems,” said Boomer. “Curtis’ life is on hold for now, but with his positive and pleasant nature and outlook on life, he will get on with his life plans as soon as his health issues are resolved.” The fundraiser will include a silent auction. Local artists slated to perform at the dance include Linda-Sue Wilson and Band; the Les Copeland Band; Duane Marchand; and Wayne Ratz.

News Shops sharpen up concussion education Morning Star Staff

Getting your skates sharpened Saturday will help with research on concussions. Vernon’s Sun Valley Source For Sports is partnering with fellow stores across Canada to donate proceeds from all skates sharpened this Saturday to stopconcussions.com, a concussion/ neurotrauma and awareness group that deals with the growing trend of concussions in all sports. Led by former NHL star Keith Primeau, the goal of stopconcussions. com is to educate players, coaches, trainers and parents involved in any sport,

about concussion prevention, identification and proper treatment. Primeau suffers from post-concussion syndrome, and has been a vocal proponent of bringing the seriousness of concussions to the forefront. More than 5,000 pairs of skates are expected to be sharpened on Saturday across Canada at Source For Sports locations. As an added benefit, Sun Valley Source For Sports wants hockey parents to bring their sons and daughters into the store, along with their current helmets, for a free fit test. “We will be happy to check the fit

and condition of their existing helmet at no charge,” said Mike Melbourne of Vernon’s Sun Valley Source For Sports. “There are many kids playing hockey with poorly fitting helmets and cages, and we want to be sure that young players are as safe as possible on the ice. Remember, the right helmet is the one that fits the best.” The staff will also be handing out stopconcussions.com brochures to educate the public about concussion awareness and prevention. Sun Valley Source For Sports is located at 5601-27th Street, and is open from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Groundwater licenses targeted judie steeves Black Press

morning star file photo

The provincial government is currently modernizing legislation regarding water resources in B.C. begin to draw from underground aquifers without charge, even though no one can draw water from a creek or

lake without a permit from the provincial government, and regular fee payments. Seven policies have

been identified as part of the framework of the new act: n protect stream health and aquatic envi-

ronments; n consider water in land-use decisions; n regulate groundwater use; n regulate during scarcity; n improve security, water use efficiency and conservation; n measure and report; and n enable a range of governance approaches. This province’s current Water Act was initiated in 1909, with major revisions implemented in 1925 when it was determined that the province owns the water resource. In 1939, regulations were brought in for acquisition of a water licence; while in 1960, groundwater was added and environmental protection introduced. In 1979 to 1992, a variety of changes were made.

B.C. is the only province in Canada that doesn’t licence groundwater, despite the fact its Water Act includes provision for it. And, according to environment ministry policy advisor Randy Cairns, public discussion about a new water act in the past few years indicates there is public support for groundwater licensing. Cairns was speaking to members of the Okanagan Water Stewardship Council about the history of provincial legislation surrounding water, and about the current process to modernize the process. The new act is to be called the Water Sustainability Act and it was to have been enacted this year, but it’s been held up by the public’s interest in continuing discussions on what’s being proposed before it’s passed into legislation, said Cairns. Cairns expects the next step will be a discussion paper with more detail about what’s proposed for the new act, and a period for public input on those details before staff are directed to write the new legislation in legal language. That’s a lengthy process which he figures could take a year, so it’s likely to be 2014 before a new act comes before the legislature for debate. If it includes more regulation of groundwater, there are a number of issues still to be resolved, he noted. For instance, how would the current 75,000 users fit into the legislation? Would all users be licensed, or just medium-sized and large or just large users? Likely, groundwater licensing would be similar to the current licensing of surface water and the two would be linked, he said. Currently, anyone can drill a well and

LeafSource Stops Pain Within Days! “It works! I’ll take another two bottles please!” This coming from a customer who had tried every other natural remedy under the sun in the past few years to take away her pain. Ian, the owner of the health food store couldn’t believe his ears. He had finally found the perfect product to stop his customer’s miseries. This is what every owner of a health food store dreams about, a natural product that receives so many outstanding testimonials on such a wide variety of health issues. “I had recommended a new product called LeafSource, which we recently started carrying. We have had tremendous success with this product, and almost everyone we have recommended it to over the last few months has come back and thanked us over and over again” said Ian. Before trying LeafSource, the woman had complained about her ongoing joint pain and was at her wit’s end. Although she had experienced some relief through the

numerous natural remedies she had tried over the years, the pain would never fully go away. “She returned to my store, in tears, less than one week after buying LeafSource. I didn’t know what to make of this woman standing in front of me crying, until she told me that within a few days of taking LeafSource her pain started to disappear and within a week it was completely gone - as if it was never there.” Ian goes on, “This coming from a woman whose painful joints and ongoing sciatica were so bad just one week earlier, that the pain was unbearable but now has completely subsided.”

Why is it so eﬀective? LeafSource is a 100% natural product derived from a proprietary organic mineral composite with over ten years of university research. LeafSource helps regulate the inflammatory process and the body’s ability to repair itself. The vast majority (70-80%) of the population over the age of 50 have joint problems—often called osteoarthritis. This is due to the natural (or unnatural) wear and tear on joint tissue that develops through

the aging process. With joint inflammation, movement is limited and pain can be constant. LeafSource seems to have the ability to help people get their mobility and zest for life back. Millions of people seek treatment for their joint and inflammation problems by resorting to expensive, toxic prescription drugs (i.e. NSAIDs) with multiple side effects. These range from nausea and vomiting to serious intestinal disorders (bleeding, gas, pain) and even kidney and liver failure. Isn’t that too large a price to pay for a little pain relief!? LeafSource is a safe alternative to these destructive antiinflammatory drugs that cause many more problems than they solve. It is safe to take up to six per day with absolutely no side-effects and it doesn’t interfere with any other medications. Controlled experiments and observations have revealed that LeafSource is a potent anti-inflammatory that has been shown to bring a reduction of inflammation and pain within a few days. People notice great results in terms of more energy and less pain by taking anywhere from 2 to 6 capsules/day. Typical maintenance is usually 1 capsule twice daily.

This product get results!

LeafSource is endorsed by

LeafSource is scientifically validated through more than 10 years of research at 4 universities, including the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mercer University. But it’s what LeafSource users are saying that truly demonstrates the products effectiveness: I have had cronic pain for over 15 years and have been going to a chiropractor monthly for pain therapy. I started using LeafSource two months ago and I am amazed at the results. I no longer have tendinitis, carple tunnel or irritable bowel. My arthritis is manageable, all my joints are limber and I’m able to exercise again. My energy levels are up, my nails and hair are stronger and my skin is softer. ~ Debbie

I am pretty stunned what this has done for me in 8 days of taking LeafSource. For 18 years I have tried many many products ...most of them expensive. And most did not work at all. I had been on a mission to find a product that is doing exactly what LeafSource is doing.So here I am on day 9 with 90% of my pain gone.

Cents survive Viper comeback Graeme Corbett Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Vipers hit the snooze button one too many times Wednesday night at Wesbild Centre. The Snakes looked lifeless in the first period, spotting the Merritt Centennials a two-goal lead before falling 4-3 in front of 1,200 B.C. Hockey League fans. Armstrong’s Dylan Chanter (3rd goal), a second-year blueliner with Merritt, opened the scoring when his point shot deflected off Viper defenceman Ryan Renz’ stick at 3:48. The 6-foot-3 Chanter drew an assist on the Cents’ second goal, a 5-on-3 marker by Sebastien Pare. With shutdown defencemen Geoff Crisfield (tripping) and Renz (cross-checking) sitting in the box, Pare squeaked a shot past netminder Austin Smith from the side of the net. “We wanted it more,” said Chanter, the game’s first star. “Their team is down right now and we out-competed them. Not in the second (period) as much, but we took the life away from them. “That was the plan all along – get a good road start, and sure enough we got two goals quick.” Centennials’ head coach Luke Pierce said Chanter has become a key component on his blueline. “He had a great year last year, learning from some really great defencemen in Reece Wilcox and Billy Marshall,” said Pierce. “He was smart enough to learn and watch them and develop and now he’s the guy that’s teaching some of our other guys.” The Vipers, tied for second last in the BCHL at 3-6-0-3, came out buzzing in the second period, catching the 8-3-1 Cents flatfooted on a terrific stretch pass from Renz to Pearce Eviston. Going in alone, Eviston was denied twice by netminder Tyler Steel, a Vernon native. Vernon stuck with it, — Dylan and were rewarded when Brett Corkey’s point shot was deflected past Steel by second star Craig Martin (2nd), who hadn’t scored since the first game of the season. “Our start wasn’t very good and you have to go wake them up and you shouldn’t have to do that,” said Vipers’ head coach Jason Williamson. “Other than the first 20, it was a white

The 20-year-old Airdrie, Alta. product one-timed a centering pass by Renz from the corner to tie the game 2-2 at 7:18. “I came here to win games and get the boys going,” said the soft-spoChanter ken winger. “We’re just going to keep working here and see where we can go. If we can start putting the puck in the net here, and start winning a few games we’ll be all right. “We were good towards the end of the game. The first period, the start was a little rough, but we got going in the end, but just couldn’t tie it up.”

“Their team is down right now and we out-competed them.”

NOBODY BEATS AARON’S PRICES …

Fowlie fit right in on a line with Aaron Hadley and Adam Tambellini, and before long, Williamson had him playing in all situations. In the third period, he lost the handle on a backhand attempt after Corkey sprung him up the middle with a precision stretch pass. “He definitely had his chances,” said Williamson. “That’s his first game and I think he’s only going to get better.” Tyler Martin, with his first of the season, restored Merritt’s lead with the team’s second powerplay goal 13:40 into the second period, but Craig Martin pulled the hosts even yet again just before the intermission. With a Merritt penalty pending, Landon Robin of the Vipers showed some deft

hands, undressing a trio of Centennials before feeding Martin (3rd) a backdoor pass late in the second period. “We let up in the second period and they were ready to capitalize,” said Pierce. “You just can’t take that risk with teams with that type of talent.” Vernon continued to control the play in the third period, but it was Merritt that capitalized when third star Richard Sabourin (1st) buried a point shot through traffic for the winner at 6:32. Steel recorded 32 saves for the win. Smith had 25 stops for the Snakes, who are on the road for a pair of weekend games on the coast. Vernon visits the Surrey Eagles tonight, followed by the Langley Rivermen Saturday. Both teams share 5-5-0-1 records.

Panthers smother Valleyview attack Morning Star Staff

An opportunistic defence, mixed with a few big plays, was a successful combination as the Vernon Panthers stuffed the Valleyview Vikings 28-6 Wednesday in junior varsity football play. John Garvie hit Ty Thomas midway through the first quarter for a 38-yard touchdown to put the Cats up 8-0 on the Kamloops boys at Grahame Park. On the ensuing drive, Valleyview drove the length of the field and threatened to score. However, Grade 8 defensive tackle Tyler Riva had other ideas and stripped the ball carrier at the four-yard line. Seven plays later, tailback Levi Nicholas broke free on a beautiful 75-yard TD run to make it 14-0. The Cats added to their lead just before halftime when Garvie threw a perfect ball to a streaking Kyle Ryder for a 38-yard score to give VSS a comfortable 20-0 lead at the break. “I was very impressed with our ability to mix it up on offence,” said Panther head

“I give because…

coach Sean Smith. “They stacked the box against us and dared us to put it up. We responded with a few long pass plays that resulted in touchdowns.” A scoreless third quarter was highlighted by another goal-line stand for the Panther defence. Staring down a fourth-and-goal, Louis Wesner jarred the ball loose and the Cats recovered it on their own one. The fourth quarter opened with a 20-yard Valleyview touchdown reception. However, the game was sealed by a Garvie 38-yard interception return for a touchdown. Ryder hauled in the two-point convert. “Our defence relied on the bend-butdon’t-break philosophy,” added Smith. “We were ball hawks out there today and managed three fumble recoveries and three interceptions (Isaiah Wenger, Zach Hyer and Garvie). Creating turnovers has been an emphasis at practice the past two weeks so it was great to see it pay off today.” “Louis Wesner (six tackles and a fumble recovery), Isaiah Wenger (one pick and three tackles) and Jeff Hiscoe (two QB sacks) impressed the coaching staff today. The win guarantees the Panthers no

With golf pro Jason Wizniak absent, another Jason stepped in and boosted Jim Cotter’s Woodland Equipment rink to a 9-1 victory over Sherry Heath’s De Vine Vintners Wednesday night. Jason (The Gunner) Gunnlaugson was a stand-in at third and proved to be a standout as the Cotter crew improved to 3-0 in the Baron Insurance Super League. Gunnlaugson set up a steal for a deuce in the first end before Heath’s girls responded with a quiet hit for one, facing three, by last-rock hurler Brianne McLean. Woodland built on their lead in the third when Cotter recorded an open hit for two. They kept the pressure on in four by leaving McLean a tough shot against five. Her last stone over curled, leaving Cotter with the huge steal and $50 in early lounge credits. The Vintners dropped to 1-2. Darren Heath (Canwest Propane) brushed back Darrell Houston (Nufloors) 7-4 to leave both rinks at 2-1. After a close two ends, Canwest broke things open with a double takeout to score five in the third. The front end of Dave Harper and John Slattery set up the fifth end beautifully, allowing Heath to score a deuce. Jamie Sexton subbed for the injured Mark Longworth (day to day, shoulder)

Sports Dodds collects PacWest honour Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Kirsten Dodds is the PacWest women’s soccer Player of the Week. The second-year Heat forward was an absolute terror for the opposition last weekend in two crucial UBC Okanagan wins which secured the Heat a provincial tournament spot. Dodds drew an early penalty kick and netted the winner on a fabulous solo effort as the Heat tripped up Squamish’s Quest University Kermodes 3-1 Sunday at Nonis Field in Kelowna. On Saturday, Dodds drew enough attention that she was able to cross the ball to her teammate, Lindsey Briggs, who scored the insurance goal in a 2-0 win over second-place Langara Falcons 2-0.

Kal clips Fulton in showdown Morning Star Staff

The Kalamalka Lakers shut down the visiting Fulton Maroons 3-0 in North Zone Senior AA Boys Soccer League action Tuesday. Sean Bradbury was solid in recording the shutout in a showdown of contenders. “We dominated the play for most the game,” said Kal head coach Cari Dyck. “Our control of the midfield, quick passing and a solid defensive line kept Fulton scrambling.” Midfielder Steven Goebel, winger Matt Kreutz, with a blistering run from midfield, and leading scorer Brett Jewell handled the Kal offence. The Lakers enjoyed several other scoring opportunities from crosses by captain Alex Kreutz. “Menno Burnet and Alex Harper played aggressively at midfield, winning most their battles for the ball,” added Dyck.

“Hendrick Bischoff and Jan Lueder were solid on defence. The boys were anxious to avenge our only loss this season and have been working hard. They stuck to our game-plan and it paid off with a convincing win.” Said Fulton head coach Wayne Aasen: “We played poorly all around. There were no standouts as we had very little of the ball and were outplayed by Kal.” League play finished Thursday with the Lakers visiting King’s Christian Kings in Salmon Arm, the Pleasant Valley Saints hosting the Maroons and VSS Panthers taking on Seaton Sonics. The Maroons needed to defeat the Saints by at least five goals to overtake Kal for top spot. The playoffs open Tuesday with one versus four and two versus three. The final goes Thursday. Vernon hosts the Valley playdowns the first week of November.

For Michael Schratter, silence is the enemy. In 1995, Schratter was diagnosed with hypomania, a form of bipolar disorder. He had an illness, and yet was told to hide his pain and struggle for fear of what others might think. “If you have a broken arm in a cast, people know there’s pain and they have empathy and offer help. With mental illness, you are to be ashamed and silent because if you share, you could be in a worse position than if you kept your mouth shut,” said the effusive former Vernon resident to a crowd of students at Okanagan College and Salmon Arm Secondary on Monday. His experience with his illness, sparked the idea for the Ride Don’t Hide campaign, which, 15 years after his diagnosis, saw Schratter ride 40,000 kilometres around the world to raise awareness about the stigma surrounding conditions like depression, anxiety disorders and schizophrenia. He also raised roughly $67,000 for the Canadian Mental Health

Association. Statistics show that one in five Canadians will suffer from mental health issues at some point in their lives. Schratter has also created a website – www.ridedonthide.com – where people can share their stories about mental illness or show their support for those suffering. While he notes the response has offered many a chance to share in a safe, supportive place, others have posted stories, only to later request they be pulled off the site. Youth are particularly at risk, with the suicide being the second largest killer of Canadian young people. “The first is car accidents and think of all the safety measures we use to combat that. When it comes to mental illness, we’ve got a long way to go.” As a result of his ride, the Canadian Mental Health Association will be following up with Ride Don’t Hide cycling events in communities across Canada. An event is being planned for Salmon Arm in 2013, to be held on June 23.

LightRecycle keeps burnt-out bulbs from the landfill from all sectors means that fewer recyclable materials will end up in landfill.” Like most other recycling programs in British Columbia, LightRecycle is funded by recycling fees applied to the sale of new products in B.C. The recycling fees are used to cover program costs, including managing the collection, transportation and recycling system for returned products. Fees started Oct. 1 to the sale or supply of all lights, ballasts and fixtures including retail, industrial, commercial and institutional sales. Manufacturers, retailers and wholesalers may include the recycling fee in the product price or display it as a separate charge to purchasers. All types of lights are accepted under both channels, including fluorescent tubes, compact fluorescent lights (CFLs), halogen and incandescent bulbs, light emitting diodes (LEDs) and high intensity discharge lamps (HID). A lighting fixture is any product with a primary purpose to provide light. Common examples of residentialuse lighting fixtures include floor lamps,

Examples of fixtures that will be recycled by large volume generators include street lights and large outdoor flood lights. “This is just another example of British Columbia leading the country with our industry-led extended producer responsibility programs,” said Minister of Environment Terry Lake.

“ L i g h t R e c y c l e ’s expansion will help ensure recyclable materials from lighting products like metal, plastic and glass are re-used to make new products – good news for the environment and for British Columbians.” Recycling plastic, glass and metal through LightRecycle has significant energy savings. For example, it takes 95 per cent less energy to recycle aluminum

than to manufacture it from raw materials, 74 per cent less energy to recycle steel, and 30 per

cent less energy to recycle glass. For more information visit www.lightrecycle.ca. 116-5301 25th Ave. VERNON, BC

October has seen students canvassing the campus with a community dialogue survey that seeks to find out what UBC students, faculty and staff think about the health of the campus, strengths and struggles. “This study will contribute new knowledge to the field of healthy campus development, in particular, navigating diverse perspectives,” said Budgen. “Fo r UBC Okanagan, the extensive involvement of students working with non-students to improve the campus is anticipated to have an immediate positive impact and, as well, a longer-term effect on how those involved take forward what they have learned to future issues and other community settings.” Results of the first phase of VOICE 2012 will be provided at a campus-wide forum Nov. 21.

Schools seek funds for early learning

Efforts are underway to build school community connections. The North Okanagan-Shuswap School District will try and access some final funding from the Ministry of Education’s school community connections program. “The program began a number of years ago to encourage communities to work

together to make better use of public facilities,” said Sterling Olson, secretarytreasurer. “There are still some funds available and communities were being encouraged to submit a proposal.” Staff put forward five projects including playground upgrades at North Canoe and Ranchero, a community kitchen ventila-

tion upgrade at Salmon Arm Storefront, a parent/community centre within Sorrento School and space conversion at South Broadview to accommodate an early learning program. However, trustees discussed the options and decided the most urgent need was for the early learning program space at South Broadview.

An Okanagan College student has become the first student outside of the United States to receive a scholarship from the International Cessna 170 Association. Ben Peters, 19, received the $1,000 U.S. scholarship just as he completed his aircraft maintenance engineer – M training at Okanagan College’s Vernon campus. “This will really help,” said Peters. “The simple fact is, my current post-secondary education would not be possible without this generous contribution.” Peters, whose father works at Kelowna Flightcraft, has been pursuing a career in aviation virtually since he learned to read. “I’ve wanted to be involved in aviation ever since I was a wee little lad,” Peters said. “While others were reading Dr. Seuss, I was flipping through my dad’s airplane books.” But financial considerations ruled out commercial pilot training, so he spent his summer following high school graduation attending the glider pilot scholarship course with the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, and from there enrolled in the Okanagan College program, conducted in partnership with Northern Lights College. Now with the 62-week portion of the program under his belt, he’s off to Dawson Creek to complete the remainder of his AME-M training. “I can’t imagine what I’d do other than be around airplanes,” he said. Aircraft Maintenance Engineer – M instructor Dale Martell said the fact Peters was able to secure an international scholarship speaks volumes about his student’s commitment. “It’s a wonderful testament to his passion for aviation,” he said. Martell said the scholarship also serves to link Peters up with the tight community of aviation professionals – including Dave Millar from Alpine Helicopter, who first brought the scholarship to everyone’s attention.

OSO program for 2012-13 emphasizes the benefits of living in a beautiful community Jennifer Smith Black Press

Set aside the never-ending summers with midOctober mornings fit for a short-sleeved T-shirt, and one finds there is big benefit to living in a golden valley like the Okanagan. No, we’re not talking fantastic Chardonnay or picturesque walks by the lake. We’re talking about what it means to secure top-tier talent in intimate venues at affordable ticket prices. “I think the sheer sound of hearing all those acoustic players together is really something for everyone,” said director Rosemary Thomson in a brief selection of performances designed to tease the 2012/2013 season. Joining the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra this year, cellist Audrey King has chosen to make the area her first stop after retiring from the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. King was born to a musically gifted family. Her grandmother was a pianist, and her grandfather and mother played the cello professionally. Just the latest in a string of world-class talent to settle in this neck of the woods, she and a few other bright lights took to the Kelowna Community Theatre stage last week to bolster the OSO’s annual program reveal. Serenading her audience with Penticton-based composer Arnold Draper tinkling the ivories, King’s strings proved the perfect prelude to a tremendous solo from opera singer and Candesca founder Alexandra Babble. And award-winning elementary school music teacher Rhonda Draper also found time to bring students from Glenmore Elementary to the stage to showcase some of the work they will be doing with the orchestra in this year’s program. Music aside, it would appear the orchestra has finally struck a chord on the financial end as well with an administration capable of adapting to tight, if at times stifling, financial times in the arts sector.

At this time last year, the OSO used this same announcement to unveil a new funding schematic intended to reduce dependency on grant funding. The provincial government severely curtailed gaming grants in 2010 and the OSO took one of the larger hits in the Okanagan arts community, receiving only 25 per cent of what it normally would draw. Money continues to be an issue for the 52-yearold orchestra—the third largest professional symphony in the province— but general manager Scott Wilson said a manageable fundraising program is now making modest headway on improving the orchestra’s financial outlook and helped ensure the symphony finished 2011 in the black. Breaking from their traditional gala format, the organization’s business minds decided to present several fundraising evenings last year and recently brought on local marketing expert Christina Ferreira to drive campaign efforts. And if this week’s season reveal is any indication, it should be an easy sell. Thomson continues to push the boundaries of creativity, opening with some of her own favourite music of all time, including Four Last Songs by Richard Strauss. “The OSO’s 2012/13 season is rich with a variety of music. Music that will move us with its beauty, its elegance, its humour and its virtuosity,” she said. In addition to working with the Glenmore school choir, the OSO has partnered with Bumbershoot Theatre, the Okanagan Youth Symphony and the brand new Okanagan Symphony Youth Chorus for the program. The annual February family concert will showcase the OSO’s take on Peter and the Wolf and the final concert in May, Last Night of the Proms, features soprano Dawn Mussellam. The season opens in Vernon with Transformations Sunday at 7 p.m. at the Performing Arts Centre. Along with Strauss, the OSO will perform Randolph Peters’ Butterfly Wings and Tropical Storms and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 in F Pastorale. Information can be found at www.okanagansymphony.com.

Like Brian, Lorne Elliott looks at the bright side of life KriStin froneman

Morning Star Staff

The apples have been picked and the eastern maples will soon be tapped for their sweet sap. Then there’s the whiff of that delicious stinky cheese from nearby Oka. It’s hard to think of life being any more idealistic than that in the little town located along the Ottawa River just west of Montreal

where comedian Lorne Elliott calls home. But like many other communities across Canada, Hudson, Que. has experienced a cooler climate, and we’re not just talking about the weather. Known as the town where late NDP leader Jack Layton was raised, as well as the first Canadian municipality to ban the use of pesticides, Hudson has seen its share of

economic ups and downs. Farmland in nearby Vaudreuil-Dorion that had been turned into condominiums and commercial property has, in a twist of irony, experienced a slow selling real estate market. But Elliott also sees his community thriving with the upsurge of agri-businesses. And it’s this positivity that has sparked his new

one-man show. So what exactly is the Upside of the Downturn, you may ask? “It’s a benefit concert for Lorne,” jokes the wild-haired comic, musician, playwright and writer, who is returning to the Okanagan next week and brings his one-man show to Armstrong and Vernon.

try. His current tour features 15 shows in B.C. “I’ll be spending more time touring this year. I think I have three in a row. I’ll be travelling around a bit so I’ll be collecting a lot of material for my writing. I also have a few new songs,” he said. “Having a good spirit about you is healthy and if you don’t have a sense of humour, you’re toast. My show is still all about making people laugh.” Elliott actually started his stage career as a musician in Canada’s hub of hilarity, Newfoundland. He and some fellow musicians got together to form a band called Free Beer, which, as you can imagine, went down well in St. John’s pub scene. Deciding to branch out on his own as a stand-up comedian and musician had its ups and downs at first, but Elliott persevered getting a hosting gig on CBC Radio’s Madly Off in all Directions and appearing on just about every comedy club and festival stage in Canada and the U.S. However, it was after one grueling tour that saw Elliott do more

that stage, then boom, you’d get that first laugh. You’ve got five minutes of an audience’s attention when you get up there, so you better make it worthwhile.” It was through the pen where Elliott found solace -- writing down his observations of the wacky world around him. He continues to churn out fiction, songs, monologues, plays and one-liners, and it’s on stage where he can have a real connection to test out that material. Elliott, who just

wrapped up a show in Charlottetown he called Lorne of Green Gables, says there’s been a lot of stories that don’t stick, but it’s the ones that do that help him keep going. “I actually do a fair bit of writing on the stage... Being onstage is like jazz, there’s a lot of directing and arranging going on. I used to balk at that improv, but now I love being up there and seeing what happens,” he said. “I am also always reading the papers. I have stories that are unedited that need to be edited. I’m sure politicians find it the same way, to use that same zeitgeist.” Presented by Ken Smedley, Elliott brings The Upside of the Downturn to Armstrong’s Zion United Church Hall on Thursday, Oct. 25 and Okanagan College’s Kalamalka campus lecture theatre Oct. 27. Both shows start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20, available for the Armstrong show at the Brown Derby (250-546-8221) or Chocoliro (250546-2886) and at the BookNook (250-5580668) for the Vernon show.

Affleck hits the target with Argo

Argo

uring the Iran Hostage Crisis, 1979 to 1981, six Americans managed to escape their embassy before it was overrun by Iranian students and militia. The six were taken into the resiTaylor & Howe dence of Canadian ambassador Ken Taylor, where they stayed for 79 days. Argo covers the true story of the CIA and Canadian governments’ joint operation to rescue these six individuals under the guise of them being a Canadian film crew location scouting for a science fiction adventure movie. We say, “Ask not what your country can do for you...” HOWE: Being only nine years old at the time of the Iranian hostage crisis I didn’t really know anything about this. I can remember seeing on TV back then people burning either the U.S. or Iran flag but that’s about it. So when I caught the trailer and knowing Ben Affleck was directing, I knew that I would enjoy it. TAYLOR: I remember images of the crisis on the news; my parents talking about it.

I knew at least some of the story, even as a kid. Then, when the CIA declassified its part of the operation in 1997, we all got a bit more. It’s one of those instances where life is like a movie. HOWE: There are some lighter moments in Argo, the meeting at the producer’s home or some of the dialogue between Affleck, Alan Arkin and John Goodman. I just wonder if it went down like that seeing it was such a serious matter. TAYLOR: This tale is “based on a true story.” Certainly, liberties were taken and that’s okay.

moments helped make the story accessible and entertaining. The true aspects of the story were understandably extremely tense. I don’t fault Affleck for turning to humour for balance. It worked. HOWE: Argo proves yet again that you don’t need to blow millions on special effects or gimmicks to make great movie, you just need a good script and cast. Another thing I liked about it was that it used actual footage from 1979/80, which melded nicely together within the movie. The whole film felt like it was shot in that era. TAYLOR: Good film, well written, well directed,

well performed. It did have a touch of that 1970s feel, a gritty plainness. Plus the actors were very well outfitted to look like the people they were portraying. Using the actual news footage was cause for nostalgia, and effective. HOWE: Although Argo doesn’t really cover the Canadian aspects of the story, it’s still a great movie and a fair representation of a true tale we can all be proud of. –– Howe gives Argo 4 smashed visa plates out of 5. –– Taylor gives it 3.5 honourable Iranian housekeepers out of 5.

‘Tooning’ up for the festival

Morning Star Staff

Everyone at the Caetani Cultural Centre is busy “tooning up” for Oct. 27, and its Toonie Lantern Parade and Festival. “The festival has more than magic to offer this year,” says organizer Christine Pilgrim. To make it affordable for everyone, she and Judy Katalinic (executive director of the Caetani Centre), decided to make this a toonie lantern festival, with toonie pizzas, toonie hot drinks, toonie cupcakes, toonie fortoons (that’s fortunes), toonie masks, toonie competitions and entertainment too. Not only that: but before the festival starts at the Caetani Centre, there’ll be Toonie Tales told at the Hub (next door to the Towne Theatre on 30th Avene) at 5:30 p.m. That’s where the parade will set off at 6 p.m. It will be led through the streets of Vernon by the Kalamalka Highlanders’ Pipe Band. “There’ll be drums and flutes too. And prizes for some of the lanterns we like the best,” says Pilgrim. There are still three lantern-making opportunities on Saturday, in time for the big event the following week: one for children at the Hub at 10:30 a.m. until noon; another for the whole family at the Caetani Centre between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.; and a third, for adults, again at the Hub between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., rain or shine. The Hub workshops cost $10 but, predictably, the Caetani workshop cost a toonie per lantern.

Researchers are giving new hope to Vernon families coping with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Already one in 11 Canadians over 65 lives with the diseases. And since age is the highest risk factor, that number is expected to soar as the population continues to get older. Advances in research are offering new reasons for optimism, though, including new tools that may allow doctors to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease earlier, and with more certainty. Families can get the latest information, without even leaving their homes, thanks to an Update on Dementia Research teleworkshop being offered on Oct. 25 by the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. Vancouver geriatrician Dr. Philip Lee will explain how research advancements might translate into clinical care for local residents.

ear Annie: I am a 64-year-old man in excellent health. The problem is, I never have had much luck with the ladies. I adore all kinds of women: tall ones, short ones, average ones and even plump ones. The only ladies I do not find attractive are the grossly fat ones and those who smoke, drink too much or use drugs. But, Annie, women don’t seem to like me at all, and I don’t know why. I am well read and easy to get along with and try to help people when I can. I don’t drink or smoke. I exercise a lot and eat healthy food. I am mostly bald, and so I shave off the few hairs that still grow on top of my fully functional solar cell. I am not a sports nut. I don’t go to Kathy mitchell & marcy sugar bars because the music is too loud, and most of the women I meet there like their booze too much. My brother has always been popular with the ladies. I don’t know what he has that I don’t. I’ve tried online dating sites, but they haven’t worked for me. I would like to meet some decent women. What am I doing wrong? — Lonely in Nova Scotia Dear Lonely: We don’t know. A well-read, helpful, decent guy who is in excellent health and interested in nearly all kinds of women should be a catch for someone. Are you looking for women in the right age bracket? Do you lecture them on their exercise, smoking or drinking habits? Are you clean and decently dressed? Join an organization or do an activity that you enjoy. It’s a good way to meet people with similar interests. Tell your friends and relatives that you are looking. Ask your brother what he thinks the problem might be — and pay attention to his answer. Dear Annie: What is proper etiquette for gift giving and receiving? Is it rude to say, “Don’t buy me presents. I don’t want anybody else picking out my things. Just give me money, and I will do my own shopping”? That takes all the pleasure out of giving for me, plus it sounds more like extortion. If it is proper etiquette, how much should one give? Society has changed so much in the past 50 years that I no longer know if this is someone raised without manners or if it’s OK to ask for money. — Need To Know Dear Need: It is still poor manners to tell someone that you expect a present and that they should give you money so you can buy it yourself. You are under no obligation to follow these instructions. If you choose to give money (or any gift), how much you spend is entirely up to you. Dear Annie: I am a retired psychologist and often recommended this rejoinder to patients who found themselves in endless rounds of arguments. It takes a bit of courage to say it, but it works: “You could be right. I’ll have to think about it.” Incredibly, this stops the argument in its tracks. Meanwhile, whoever says those words can blissfully go about their business, doing and thinking whatever they actually think is best. — Former Psych in New Hampshire

Participants at one of the workshops at the Caetani Cultural Centre making a variety of lanterns, which can be used at the Caetani Parade and Festival Oct. 27. “Maybe it should be called the Caetooni Lantern Festival,” said one lantern-maker at last week’s workshop. “Caetooni or Caetani, everyone is welcome to come dressed in their finest festival regalia or just as they are, masked or unmasked, with or without lanterns,”

says Pilgrim as she rattles the toonies she’s already saved. Details of the Caetani Parade and Festival, as well as the workshops, can be found at www.caetaniculturalcentre.org or 250-275-1525 or www.thehubartscollective.com or 250-938-3469.

“We are beginning, more and more, to understand how the disease doesn’t just present itself at times of first symptom onset. There’s a whole process that’s occurring in the background,” he says. “We may be able to make the diagnosis earlier and earlier, and potentially in individuals before they have symptoms. To intervene at that point would be desirable so that hopefully we can even prevent — in the future — the condition from actually worsening.” Researchers are exploring new interventions for people diagnosed with dementia, and non-pharmacological interventions such as exercise and diet that may also reduce the risk of the disease. Lee contributes to research but also works with patients at UBC’s Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Clinic as well as St. Paul’s Hospital Department of

Geriatric Medicine. “The largest proportion of what I do is see patients,” he says. “That is part of what drives my passion for the research, because ultimately, I can also see the impact that it has on treating the patients and the family members we have the privilege of interacting with.” The Update on Dementia Research teleworkshop runs Thursday from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Residents can access it via telephone, with optional online slides. Pre-registration is not necessary. A few minutes before the session, participants simply dial toll-free 1-866-994-7745, then enter the pass code of 1122333.

A short history of computing

omputing up until the late 1930s was done by hand or with the aid of some kind of mechanical device such as an abacus or manually, later electrically, powered gears and levers. By the end of the Second World War, several digital computers had been constructed using vacuum tube technology to perform simple computation using programs and data that had to be entered manually prior to each execu- Vernon PC Usersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Club tion. By 1950 core memory had been perfected that allowed programs to be stored and modified easily, the punched card and line printer had replaced paper tape as input and output media, and business had begun to take notice of the computer as it moved out of the lab and into the office. The transistor invented in 1947 had largely replaced vacuum tubes by the late â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;50s thereby making the machines more reliable, a little cheaper and definitely cooler. By 1960 crude operating systems had been developed, code assemblers and compilers made it possible to develop software faster and more reliably. Old words took on new meaning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; programmer, data processing, bits, core, dump, bug, etc. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least to those involved in the fledgling

COMPUTER QUESTION

computer â&#x20AC;&#x153;industry.â&#x20AC;? The â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s was the decade of the big and super-big mainframe computers, the courtship between the computer and telecommunications, core giving way to semiconductor memory, huge software development projects, remote terminals and timesharing. Almost as a counterpoint to all this grossness, at least two significant events occurred in 1975 that heralded developments that would change the face of computing forever. Ed Roberts began to advertise his Altair 8800 microcomputer kit in Popular Science, and two guys named Gates and Allen founded a company called Microsoft to sell their basic compiler designed to run on a microprocessor. During the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s the computer industry really took off as hundreds of new enterprises were formed all over the world to exploit the new micro-technologies. It was quite a ride that saw mainframe giant IBM lose a big chunk of its market share to upstart companies selling microcomputers, local area networks, horizontal market software that did word processing, spreadsheets and database management and others that developed vertical market software addressing the needs of just about every organization one could name. Telcos, with billions invested in outdated, analog networks finally jumped on the bandwagon and began to retool with communications systems designed

Purrrfect Pets

for a digital world. The period beginning with the next decade up to the present witnessed enabling developments like the public introduction of the Internet, the transformation of the personal computer into a consumer item in its own right, the micro miniaturization of processor and memory chips, wireless communications, portable, compact packaging and global manufacturing and marketing of technology. These developments and others led to a host of new and innovative â&#x20AC;&#x153;hi-techâ&#x20AC;? products that incorporated complex technologies into the user-friendly appliances and devices, each containing at least one microprocessor. In little more than 70 years the computer has evolved from a scientific curiousity into an omnipresent phenomenon of epic proportions; one that those born during this time now largely take as a given. It has brought about the continuing enrichment of lanquage with words like blog, Googled, wifi, phishing, pod, pad, texting and so on. The future will undoubtedly see the further integration of the key digital technologies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; computer and communications â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to bring about a totally â&#x20AC;&#x153;wiredâ&#x20AC;? planet, and hopefully a more democratic and peaceful one. The Vernon PC Usersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Club meets the second Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Schubert Centre in the cafeteria. Call Betty at 542-7024 or Olive at 542-8490 for more information.

News Safety tips for little ghosts and goblins Morning Star Staff

“Parental supervision of activities for young children is a must.” — Dan Earl escorting them doorto-door on Halloween night. Skip past houses that don’t have lights on, or the walkway isn’t welllit, and avoid unfamiliar animals. “Parental supervision of activities for young children is a must,” said Dan Earl, BCAS unit chief, Port Hardy. “Whether you’re making a jack-o-lantern, trick-or-treating or watching a fireworks or a firecracker display, always be there to ensure the safety of your kids.” P U M P K I N CARVING – Kids under six should not use knives or other sharp instruments to carve pumpkins. Instead they can express their creativity by drawing a face on a pumpkin or dressing it up with colourful fall leaves. Parents should use a flashlight or a light stick to illuminate a pumpkin rather than a candle, to reduce the risk of burns. CHOKING – Choking occurs most frequently among children under two years of age, but choking can happen at any age. Do not give children under five popcorn, hard candy, or nuts. When eating candy, parents should have children sit at a table since eating while playing, jumping or talking can lead to choking. Information is available through HealthLink BC at http:// www.healthlinkbc.ca/ k b / co n te n t / s p e c i a l / chkng.html#aa111963. FIREWORK SAFETY – To be safe, plan family fun and activities that don’t include fireworks. However, if you plan to use fireworks as part of your celebration, only purchase them from a reliable source and always read and follow label directions. Keep water or a fire extinguisher nearby when lighting fireworks. SLOW DOWN AND WATCH FOR PEDESTRIANS –

Motorists are advised to slow down and drive with extra caution this Halloween. BCAS notes that historically there is an increase in the number of traffic accidents on Halloween evening. Children are easily distracted and difficult to see because of their PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until October 31, 2012. See toyota.ca for complete details on all cash back offers.

Before parents and children head out for Halloween trick or treating, BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) and the specialists at BC Children’s Hospital have some safety tips for parents. These safety tips are based on visits to BC Children’s Hospital Emergency Department and BCAS call data that shows on Halloween last year, between the hours of 4 and 9 p.m., there was a significant increase in the number of ambulance calls for traffic incidents and burns compared to regular nights. Every year, BC Children’s and BC Ambulance Service treat many preventable injuries involving trickor-treaters, such as falls from ill-fitting costumes, injuries from being struck by a car, burns from fireworks or cuts from pumpkin-carving. The following tips can help parents and caregivers keep children safe this Halloween: BE SEEN – Parents as well as children should wear bright costumes or clothing made of flameresistant material with reflective tape, or carry light sticks or flashlights to ensure motorists can see them. Consider trickor-treating in a group. “Make sure your children are in highly visible clothing,” said Jane Christy, BCAS unit chief, Lillooet. “Visibility is important whether you’re in a rural area or if you’re on a sidewalk in an urban area.” Don’t forget to stop, look left, right and left again – before crossing a street. Always cross the street at corners and crosswalks. If there isn’t a sidewalk, walk beside the road or street facing traffic. D R E S S APPROPRIATELY – To prevent falls, make sure your child’s costume fits well and isn’t too long or loose. Dress for the weather to ensure your child is comfortable and warm. A mask can obscure your vision; instead try make-up. A D U L T SUPERVISION – Young children should always have a responsible adult

small size, particularly if they run into the street from between parked cars. “If you’re driving a vehicle – slow down – particularly when it gets dark, because it can be more difficult to see kids stepping from crosswalks or darting across a street,” said Dr. Ash Singhal, pediatric neurosurgeon and director of Pediatric Trauma Program at BC Children’s Hospital. BE A GOOD HOST – As a homeowner, make sure the path to your front door is clear of any

RCMP Taser use declines 87 per cent across B.C. tom fletcher Black Press

Retired judge Thomas Braidwood is “very pleased with the response” to his recommendations on the use of Taser stun guns by police in the wake of Robert Dziekanski’s death in 2007. Braidwood testified Tuesday before a legislature committee, after a senior RCMP official reported on training and procedure changes

that led to an 87 per rules include requiring cent reduction in use of police to determine that Tasers to subdue peo- the subject is causing ple. bodily harm Braidwood or is about emphasized to, and manthat he stands date that by the core “de-escalafinding of his tion” or criinquiry, which sis intervenis that police tion techin B.C. should niques be Braidwood continue to use taught and them with new used before training and strict new a Taser is. rules. He described a basic Those province-wide technique that could

have been used when four Richmond RCMP officers approached a distraught Dziekanski at Vancouver International Airport. If one of those officers had simply pulled up a chair and sat down, Braidwood said, Dziekanski would likely be alive today. Similar techniques can defuse even violent domestic disputes, rightly considered by police to be their most dangerous calls, said

Braidwood, a former prosecutor who went on to serve as a B.C. Supreme Court and Court of Appeal justice. The Taser rules also require police to have an automated defibrillator in the car, or in a supervisor’s vehicle in communities of 5,000 people or less. Independent testing of the stun guns is also required, and the rules apply to all municipal police in B.C. as well.

On Monday, RCMP Assistant Commissioner Randy Beck told the committee that new training began in 2011. By then the fallout from the Dziekanski case had led to a steep decrease in use of Tasers. Braidwood noted that so far there has not been a corresponding increase in police use of guns. “Have more police officers been injured while restraining violent subjects, or have officers discovered that other tools in their arsenal, such as training in crisis intervention techniques, have resolved many of these potentially dangerous confrontations without resorting to use

of conducted energy weapons?” he asked. “It would appear to be a fruitful area for more research.” Braidwood’s inquiry led not only to new Taser procedures, but also the establishment of B.C.’s new Independent Investigations Office, the civilian-led agency that began work this summer to take control of all police-involved incidents that result in death or serious bodily harm. Braidwood said the steps taken since his inquiry have filled a gap in the civilian oversight of police that is “a fundamental tenet that distinguishes Canada from totalitarian or dictatorial states.”

The B.C. government is investing $18.7 million to create more than 3,000 new seats in skills training programs at colleges and universities across the province. And, according to the provincial jobs ministry, Okanagan College will get just over $1 million of that money for three programs, a seven-week week course to prepare students for entry level positions in the oil and gas industry, a management skills training course for the hospitality, tourism, business and finance industries and an 11-week certificate course in office administration. “Investing in skills training seats in our colleges and universities lowers barriers for people so they can improve their skills and put unemployed British Columbians in a better position to access the workforce,” said Advanced Education Minister John Yap. In August, Okanagan College and the province announced how more than $550,000 in one-time funding would be used to offer skilled trades-related training in the region. That money is believed to be part of the $1 million announced for OC Monday. The college expects to create 110 seats over the coming year, including training in mining, oil and gas-related supervision and safety, and green building design, among others. The new funding is on top of the $28 million in capital funding the government recently announced to renovate, upgrade and expand the trades training facilities at the OC campus on KLO Road. That move is expected to add 750 students to the college’s main campus once complete because facilities currently leased by the college elsewhere will no longer be needed. The traders training facility upgrade and expansion is expected to be complete in four years time. The newly announced provincial BC Jobs Plan funding is being provided to 17 colleges and universities, including Okanagan College, under the Employment Skills Access program. The money will help the institutions deliver skills training in a variety of programs, varying from nautical training to forestry boot camps and from health-care assistant programs to heavy equipment operator and mining technician programs.

Bridge by Phillip Alder KEEP COUNTING UP TO NINE Harold Coffin, a humor columnist for The Associated Press who died in 1981, said, “Envy is the art of counting the other fellow’s blessings instead of your own.” Bridge envy is knowing that an opponent counts better than you do. Well, it is time to lose that envy. South is in three no-trump. What should he do after West leads the diamond two? South’s rebid of one no-trump showed 12 to 14 points. Two diamonds was New Minor Forcing. Two no-trump denied three hearts (and four spades, if South could have rebid one no-trump despite holding four spades). Declarer always starts

by counting his top tricks when in no-trump. Here, he should see seven: one spade, three hearts and three diamonds. Clubs, hearts and spades have the potential to provide extra winners -- but which suit should be attacked first? Consider each suit in turn. Clubs: Often it is correct to play on the suit with the greatest number of cards, but here it will take too long to establish clubs. The defenders will get their diamonds going first and take two diamonds and three clubs. Hearts: South could duck a heart to pick up four tricks in the suit (most of the time). Or he could play hearts from the top, hoping for a 3-3 break (which happens about

one-third of the time). Spades: Interestingly, the right line is to take the spade finesse at trick two. If it wins, declarer needs only four heart tricks, so can play a low heart from both hands at trick three. If, though, the spade finesse fails, South will have to hope for a 3-3 heart break.

Hazel Matheson Hazel Esther (Kay) Matheson, passed away peacefully, surrounded by some of her children, in the Vernon Hospice House on October 2, 2012, eight weeks shy of her 92nd birthday. Her husband Warren predeceased her in December 1992. Two brothers Albert and Art (Ilah) Kay, and nephew Cliff Kay also predeceased her. She is survived by two brothers and their wives- Tom & Zelma Kay of Alberta and Ernie & Evelyn Kay of Oregon, and by her four sons, one daughter, ten grandchildren plus two grandsons-in-law and nieces and nephews.

Hazel’s children- Murray of California, Lester and wife Leona of Indiana, Margaret Ham and husband John of Nevada, Douglas and wife Micheline of Oregon, and Gerry of Washington, all cherish the memories made and the adventures and love shared in her lifetime. Her 10 grandchildren hold great memories of Grandma’s winter sojourns with them and 27 years of summer visits to Grandma in Cherryville. The family of Josias and Grace Lakra of India, and their daughter Vineeta (Sony)Mullapudi of Alberta also hold Grandma’s memory close in their hearts. The funeral service will be held at the Pleasant Valley Funeral Home in Vernon, on Saturday afternoon October 20 at 3:00 p.m. A reception will be held in the reception hall there following the service.

Cremation will follow with interment at a later date at the Richlands Cemetery in Cherryville where Hazel’s name will share her husband’s headstone. Hazel’s husband pastored the Seventh-Day-Adventist church in Cherryville and worked with members of the community to establish the little cemetery beside the church there. Hazel and husband lived and worked in India from 1964-1975, and over the years since have helped with education costs for some students there. Anyone wishing to make a memorial donation in memory of Hazel, to aid students at the Raymond Memorial Training School, Falakata, India, may do so by sending donations to Hazel’s daughter Margaret Ham at Hazels address 1080 Hwy 6 Lumby BC V0E 2G3.

November 20, 1919 September 15, 2012 Laura Alleyne Tull was born to Minnie and Frank Loyst just outside Redvers, Saskatchewan in 1919. She had 8 sisters, Thelma, Fern, Vera, Ivy, Donna, Doreen, Margory and Merle, one brother Ross and many nieces and nephews. In her youth Alleyne’s family moved to Armstrong, BC. Alleyne enjoyed such activities as gymnastics, basketball, camping, piano and horseback riding. It was there that she met Tom Tull Sr. They both joined the war effort where Alleyne served as an army accountant in Vancouver. Eventually they married and had their first child Tom Jr. In 1952 Alleyne and Tom Sr. moved to Lumby; shortly after children Richard and Victoria were born. Alleyne enjoyed volunteer work, knitting, curling and was an avid bowler. Both Tom and Alleyne were proud members of the Legion and Alleyne was presented with a Meritous Service Medal. Alleyne was also one of the founding members of what was then known as the BC Retarded Children’s Association. She was also instrumental in the creation of Glencaird School (a school for the mentally handicapped) in Lumby. She supported Tom in his efforts to create a safe and healthy living environment for children in their community; their home became a haven for dozens of children in need. Alleyne later worked as a correspondent for the Kelowna and Vernon newspapers. After Tom’s retirement and with his help she fulfilled a life long dream when she took over the running of the Lumby Review, successfully running it for a number of years. Alleyne is predeceased by her daughter Victoria and her husband Tom Sr. who receives her with open arms. She is survived by her son Tom Jr., his wife Carrol, grandchildren Marnee (David), Coree (Katherine) as well as her son Richard, wife Debra and grandchildren Keri, Vanessa and Sean. She is also survived by her step-granddaughter Michelle (Sean) and great-grandchildren Sarah, Peyton and Chase and step-grandson Sean. There will be a private family graveside service in the morning of November 10. For those who would like to join us in celebrating the life of Alleyne a memorial service will be held at 1:30 on November 10th at the Alternative Funeral Services located at 4417 29th Street at 1:30pm - reception to follow. Following the reception the family invites you to join them at the Venron Legion to have a “dram or two” in remembrance of Alleyne. In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to the Children’s Burn Program at BC Children’s Hospital www.bcchf.ca/donate.
