Heartland star Graham Wardle poses with Vernon fans Christine Charney (from left), Zoë St-Jean, Alexandra St-Jean, Aja Kind and Sam Martens while Don McLeod, Cruise With a Cause co-founder, takes some snapshots during a stop at Bannister Honda Wednesday for the Cruise in support of the Prostate Cancer Foundation of B.C. The girls, who missed a little bit of school to see Wardle, were among the fans who showed up to meet the star and support the cause.
Spring referendum called despite concerns RICHARD ROLKE
“This is more than double the cost of the sports track.”

There are significant uncertainties as the future of cultural amenities moves ahead. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee voted 5-2 Thursday to proceed to a spring 2014 referendum to borrow funds for a new art gallery and museum. “Until I get more information, I’m not participating,” said Mike Macnabb, BX-Swan Lake director, of his opposition. Bob Fleming, BX-Swan Lake director, also won’t guarantee his area will take part in the referendum. “Before I can answer that, I need to know what I’m voting on,” he said. GVAC staff will now focus on a number of outstanding issues including construction cost, if there is one ballot or two, when the

vote may be held and operating costs if the facilities proceed. It’s estimated both projects could cost $17 million to build but Vernon director Rob Sawatzky says that is yet to be finalized. “It could possibly be that the dollar figure approved by the politicians is not the figure the advocacy groups prefer,” he said.

Staff had recommended Thursday that a referendum be delayed until an arts and culture master plan, outlining needs, be developed for the region. It’s a recommendation Fleming supported. “There’s a lot of work that needs to be done and hasn’t been done. This (gallery/museum) is more than double the cost of the (sports) track,” he said. Catherine Lord, Vernon director, pushed to have a referendum. “If we delay this, we’re doing a disservice to arts and culture. They have been pushing for this for a long time,” she said. Sawatzky disagrees with Fleming and Macnabb that the initiative is being unreasonably expedited. “There’s been 10 years of various options. Ten years or more is not rushing,” he said.

While he agreed to moving ahead, Coldstream director Jim Garlick says an unresolved matter is whether RDNO or the City of Vernon will own the facilities. “Land acquisition will be a big issue for my council,” he said. VPAG and museum officials welcomed GVAC’s decision Thursday. “We are delighted that the process is moving ahead,” said Andrew Powell, Vernon Public Art Gallery president. One challenge, though, is the groups will have to pay $50,000, the difference between holding an independent referendum in the spring and vote combined with falls’ civic elections. “That cuts into our referendum marketing campaign,” said Dauna Kennedy Grant, VPAG executive director.

No appeal in Ashton case roger knox Morning Star Staff

Scott Burton leads in the recreation race Saturday at kal Beach in the fourth annual kalamalka Classic Stand Up Paddle Festival presented by kalavida Surf Shop.
There’s more good news for Deborah Louise Ashton. Crown counsel has accepted a Supreme Court justice’s ruling that found the former Vernon teacher and administrator not guilty on two counts of perjury in July. “We are not going to appeal the decision,” said Crown lawyer Don Mann, who tried the perjury case against Ashton. She was charged with perjury pertaining to statements Deborah Ashton she made in her first trial in 2011 on five counts of allegedly having a sexual relationship with a former student. That trial ended in a hung jury. A Supreme Court justice found Ashton not guilty on all five counts at her second trial in 2012. She was originally arrested in October 2008. Ashton was charged with perjury before the second trial. After being found not guilty of perjury, Ashton told media the three court cases have cost her, financially, more than $100,000, and also cost her what she loved to do most: teach. She told media she likely can’t go back into a classroom, though she is currently teaching adults to write, and tutoring students.
Vandalism hurts Van Diest family roger knox Morning Star Staff
The wanton vandalism of a commemorative angel adorning the memorial trail built in honour of their murdered daughter has outraged Armstrong’s Van Diest family. Taylor Jade Van Diest was murdered in 2011 as she walked in an area near the railway tracks between Rosedale Avenue and Pleasant Valley Road on Halloween night. She was attacked and was found unconscious. Van Diest died Nov. 1 in Kelowna General Hospital. Her family, with help from the City of Armstrong, Kelowna Pacific Railway and tons of volunteer donations and support, built the Taylor Jade Van Diest Memorial Trail in the same area, and opened the trail to the public this summer. On Aug. 30, Van Diest’s mom, Marie, was walking the trail and discovered one of two
which drew an average of nearly 30,000 people daily during its five-day run, the family and Armstrong RCMP believe the culprit may not have known the trail’s history and significance. “We’re thinking it is somebody not familiar with that area or what it was all about,” said Armstrong RCMP Sgt. Robb Daly. “Because of that time of year, we have a lot of people in town. We don’t have a suspect yet but the file is still being actively investigated.” The family removed another commemorative angel and a commemorative lion from the trail, after the discovery of the vandalism, for the duration of the IPE. The vandalism, said Daly, is traumatic for the family and the city. “We’re a small community. A lot of people put a lot of effort into this memorial trail,” he said. “When people don’t know anything about it and they’re not thinking what they’re

large polyresin angels that adorned the trail was gone. It was later revealed that day to Marie Van Diest that someone had taken the angel, thrown it over a fence and it was destroyed on impact. “Whoever you are, you need to know that this callous, despicable act of vandalism has deeply hurt many people,” said Van Diest. “You also need to know that you have greatly disrespected my daughter’s memory.” As the vandalism occurred at the same time as the Interior Provincial Exhibition,

doing, they end up doing a lot of damage. “Not just to the physical world of the memorial but to the actual hearts of the community that came together to remember Taylor.” Anybody with any information the vandalism is asked to call the Armstrong detachment at 250-546-3028.

Political pressure is being exerted to ensure rail service resumes. The Regional District of North Okanagan board is urging Canadian National Railway to take over the sections of track impacted by the bankruptcy of Kelowna Pacific Railway. “It’s critical to the agricultural economy and to our local economy,” said Patrick Nicol, RDNO chairperson. Besides those in the agricultural sector, businesses like Tolko Industries have Patrick Nicol been impacted by the end of rail service and many of them are now shipping materials by truck. Kelowna Pacific Railway declared bankruptcy July 5, bringing a halt to shipments between Vernon and Kamloops and Vernon to Lumby. The trustee involved in the case has stated that options are being considered to initiate rail service again and CN officials have stated that while they are working with the trustee, they aren’t committing to cargo service. Nicol is confident that the trains will start running again. “I’m encouraged by the discussions with the companies, the powers that be and the provincial government. There is a way through this,” he said.

Welcome to the mud pit
F
or anyone who has a do-it-yourselfer living in their home, you know the kind of pain their self-fortitude can inflict. I am not what you’d call handy. The hammer is not my friend, but a weapon used to bash fingers into submission. But my partner in life and crime thinks he can do it all, and he’s been testing it out lately. Three years ago, he took an AutoCAD drafting course so he could draw up the plans for our dream home. Those plans were shelved soon after due to work situations, but more recently were unearthed and revised and are now in full fruition. The result? We’re renovating our existing mansion —actually a Kristin Froneman one-level, one-bathroom bungalow— into something a little more accommodating for our four-person family. And I have been living through some of the early renovation hell experienced by Walter Fielding and Anna Crowley, the characters Tom Hanks and Shelley Long played in the 1986 film The Money Pit. (Luckily I haven’t had to open my medicine cabinet to find a builder handing me my meds just yet as we’ve only just begun.) Although we haven’t dipped too deep into the money pit, as this is only a partial fix ‘erup-‘er, I have one heckuva mud pit to wade through every time I leave and arrive home these days. Typical that the day they started digging to install the drain pipe and foundation, the sky opened and sent down its wrath. The result has been four inches of East Hill’s notorious clay caked on just about every boot and shoe, up one pant leg and down the other. Of course the kids are loving it. My boy even has his very own hard hat to wear every time the cool man with the big digger comes into our yard. The other kid in our household, besides our
At rAndoM
daughter, has been the grown man. He’s already been out there ripping off the vinyl siding and stucco from the side of our house with the giddy enthusiasm of Bob the Builder. And he keeps beckoning me to come check out the latest tool and toy of the trade. Yes, he’s Red Green and my home is now Possum Lodge. Speaking about Red Green — that gravelly voiced Canadian dude who was on TV with the fishing hat and red and green suspenders and spoke on the virtues of duct tape to fix just about anything — thanks to my job, I was able to interview him the other day. (He’s coming to Vernon on the 23rd.) When I told him of my renovation dilemma, he had some rather good advice for me: “Get out while you’re still alive!” Well, not exactly. He told me to look at the core of our relationship – and hold my husband accountable for everything that goes wrong. “Get him to do what he says he is going to do and get it in writing!” That Red Green is actually a genius in my opinion and his words of wisdom came at a crucial time — when the excavator decided to slice through both my phone and cable lines the other day. (An honest mistake as you never know where those dastardly lines are going to end up, despite the fact we received blueprints for both.) I marched right up to my husband and said, “you better get this fixed, the semi-finalists of MasterChef are about to be announced. And you don’t want me to go all Gordon Ramsay on you.” The cable guy was at our door the very next morning showing that although I may not be able to wield a hammer, I can come down like Thor when I want to. So as I brace myself for what is to come – the noise, the dust, the collapse of sanity – I have to continually keep my eye on the prize. That new roof over our heads, extra bathroom and bedroom, and hopefully new flower bed, which the man with the big machine also ripped out, will all be worth it. I can get a little muddy over that.
With all the busyness of the summer months now over, September is a great time to fall back into a routine. And the provincial government and unions representing teachers and school support staff appear to have their annual routines down pat by now. September, especially since their labour disputes seem to be never-ending in recent years, is when both sides of the bargaining table argue that the other party is unco-operative and doesn’t truly have students’ interests at heart. This annual back-and-forth of finger-pointing just tells us neither side truly believes it’s all about the children. Accusatory bargaining in a public forum does nothing to help the situation we’re faced with, a situation where the kids truly should be the priority. We agree with both sides when they say a deal needs to be reached soon. We agree when they both say that deal has to happen without disrupting students in the classroom. And we agree that education is essential to our kids’ futures, and is essential in growing our economy. But we can’t be teaching our kids to play nice and do good when we aren’t walking the talk ourselves. It’s the worst-kept secret that labour relations of any kind – essential service or not – are selfserving to some extent. The province and the teachers both need to quit pretending that they’re only fighting for the kids. They need to honestly acknowledge their differences and what they’re fighting for, and find a compromise that isn’t going to negatively impact the classroom. Back-to-school season should be a happy, positive experience for everyone. That hasn’t been the case for many years now, and we need to get resolutions soon for the teachers’ and support staff’s contracts. Let’s do this for the kids. – Black Press

Skills training is the answer
I
refer to Colin Mayes' article Accessing Education. Why, I wonder, is the government still pushing education when everyone knows it is a skilled worker shortage we have, not a lack of ultraclever young people without jobs or doing menial jobs, anything. Many leave town with their college diploma, even going abroad looking for job opportunities because that is what they were promised, not an interesting career in town. Canada must have the best educated, unskilled work-ready labour force in the world. What we need is some clear direction on jobs and training and how the country intends to solve this devastating need for skilled workers. Throwing millions of dollars at an already failed system does not work. Let me give you an example of how a government minister would explain their skills training policy: "We believe that stuffing students' heads with knowledge for a few months, extensive use of com-
bypass blues Dear Councillor Spiers, Re. the comments attributed to you in The Morning Star and Richard Rolke's recent article on the subject of a Vernon bypass: I feel that the council that shelved this question back in 2008 was very shortsighted and possibly influenced by special interest groups such as downtown merchants. Having driven over much of North America over the years in both automobiles and various types of RVs, I can say that no traveler will drive into a city or even town if there is a reasonable alternative, unless they specifically want to do so for some reason. To say, as some have in the past, that a bypass would rob downtown businesses of prospective customers makes no sense. In the traffic that we have in Vernon on 27th and 32nd Streets, a driver is solely concerned with safe driving and getting out of the traffic as soon as possible. This is even more true here in Vernon now that the city has made

puters and continually texting is the best way to learn work skills. Colleges cannot actually do work skills training but we accept what they do to be better than the on the job experience and practice method. It is just not necessary to get all that hands-on experience that the tradespeople talk about as being necessary before getting a job. In order to maintain the highest standards in all trades and crafts, your government supports the Red Seal certification program. All apprentices are tested before being award-
ed a Red Seal trade certificate. The 2012/13 yearly report states that a credible 25,000 certificates were awarded. It also states that 20 years ago, in its first year of operation, RSC awarded 23,000 certificates, clearly a substantial move forward in a short 20-year period." Let's take another look at that. Forget about the 20 years it took to improve the RS output by 2,000. The 2,500 is just four per cent of the school leavers. Four in every 100 school leavers became trades certified. An investment of $100 million
the main shopping street pedestrian friendly and less accessible to vehicles (The change is very attractive). Quite apart from the traffic congestion is the equally, if not more important question of air pollution. I never drive anywhere when walking is practical and in so doing I am on 27th and /or 32nd street up to five days a week. The exhaust fumes, particularly diesel, are sometimes overpowering. Any driver knows that a vehicle consumes more fuel in stop-andgo driving than driving at a steady speed and each time a vehicle accelerates from a stoplight it emits a lot of exhaust fumes; sometimes one can see clouds of black smoke coming from diesel trucks as they move ahead from stop lights. A bypass would not only ease the traffic congestion in town but the bypass traffic, moving at a steady pace, would cause less pollution. To the downtown merchants who feel a bypass would hurt their business, I believe the contrary would be the case. Residents of surrounding com-
munities would be far more likely to come into Vernon if the traffic congestion did not exist. I feel that city council, in this particular matter, has a responsibility not only to Vernon residents but to residents of surrounding communities, to do whatever it takes to relieve this congestion. It ain't gonna be easy and it ain't gonna be cheap. It will undoubtedly adversely effect some people and if it were me I would be upset too but the greater good should prevail. a.R. Gobbett

tRail costs Did I read the news of a trail in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park wrong?

If the organization gets donations from businesses, that money still comes from customers. Families are getting supported
a year in the potential workforce bodies and we produce four tradespeople in every 100. Where are the other 96? Now I know we need some scholars but 25,000 tradespeople nationwide out of one million and this was our best year. What a joke. It is said we will need one million more tradespeople by 2020. With natural wastage, we are in fact going backwards. We are losing ground because we do not have a comprehensive business community-based jobs and training scheme. It is not necessary to have a college diploma to do the 1,000 different jobs ordinary people do every day as skilled and valuable workers. We cannot lead the world in technology if we let our communities die. Six years ago, I had a meeting with Mr. Mayes on this very same subject. I presented him with a simple way to provide jobs with skills training in our community for young people. It was revenue neutral, meaning it would not cost the government anything. My
request was, and has always been to all I have discussed it with, if you cannot find a practical reason why this would not work, please use your influence and do something about it. I know he was impressed, he said so and also sent a copy of my proposal to the prime minister. I am still waiting for a response from both. Since then, I have seen local government people, business association managers, business owners, education executives and training professionals. I have also written dozens of letters. Never have I been shown any practical reason why this plan would not work. Surely someone has enough initiative to make Vernon part of the solution instead of part of the problem. The economic/financial tsunami that was predicted in this column recently is certainly on its way. I believe the skilled worker crisis will be found as the cause. Think about it. Roy Humphrey

Food drive helps families Jennifer Smith
Morning Star Staff
Now that summer is coming to an end and school is underway, a local organization is hoping the community can get back in the routine of giving. This time of year is a struggle as shelves at the Salvation Army Food Bank are typically quite bare. But a province-wide food drive is stepping in to help restock supplies for families and individuals in need. Vernon’s third annual B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive goes Sept. 14 from approximately 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. throughout the community, with reminder bags being dropped off earlier in the week. “We had 132 people, which established 38 routes last year, but I think we’ll have a bit more this year,” said Bob McKay, local organizer of the event, put on by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Volunteers from the church, as well as Vernon, Kalamalka and Silver Star Rotary and ValleyFirst Credit Union, are so far taking part, but more volunteers are welcome. “It feels good to help serve the community and those less fortunate than us,” said McKay, also thanking the annual Realtors Food Drive for lending its template to this drive. “The kids, anywhere from nine years and up, they love delivering the bags

and then on Saturday going around and seeing what people have donated.” The ‘what’ is something some may struggle with but the Salvation Army has a few tips. “With school starting up we design kids packs so healthy snack items, healthy juice boxes, granola bars,” said David MacBain, Salvation Army community ministries director. Also needed are items such as tomato products, stews, canned pasta and peanut butter. Donors are asked to steer clear of soups (which the food bank has an abundance of), home preserves (for health and safety reasons), as well as outdated items or just that random package that’s been sitting in the back of their cupboard. “We want to treat those that we serve with dignity and respect and that includes providing, good, healthy products,” said MacBain. There are also some special dietary needs that many of those accessing the food bank cannot afford on their own: such as

“We want to see if this is a one-off or a continued high,” said Coun. Jo Anne Fisher. “No one could speculate as to the cause. It could be wildlife.” The creeks aren’t used as a water source for the village but people do use the creeks for recreational activities. Harris and Duteau creeks ultimately run into Bessette Jo Anne Fisher Creek and the Shuswap River, which are used for domestic water needs.

But no matter who is in need: “Those who are receiving are very grateful.” Anyone who does not receive a bag can drop off their donations to the Salvation Army Food Bank (3303 32nd Ave. behind Staples).

Mary Jo-O’Keefe, a Vernon councillor, and Byron Louis, Okanagan Indian Band chief, sign an agreement that will provide 911 fire dispatch to band lands.
OKIB receives 911 fire dispatch richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Calling 911 to report a fire is something most of us take for granted, but it’s a process Okanagan Indian Band residents are just being introduced to. While a firm date has not been determined yet, some time this fall, anyone on the reserve along Westside Road will be able to call 911 about a fire through a contract with the City of Vernon’s dispatch centre. “Public safety is a huge concern,” said Byron Louis, band chief, after signing an agreement with Vernon Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe Tuesday. Presently, fires on band land are handled by an answering service established by the Okanagan Indian Band Fire Department. “The past system was so antiquated with 1980s equipment,” said Mike Doherty, with the department. “Answering personnel are not trained to be or act as an emergency service centre. With no
assistance during or afterwards, we lost five to 15 minutes from the actual caller.” The band’s department has been seeking access to 911 for 13 years. “It will result in a faster response time and more detailed information for our members,” said Doherty. Jack Blair, a Vernon Fire Department deputy chief, is confident the city’s dispatch centre can benefit the band’s department. “They can get advice and prompt answers when needed,” he said. “We have the expertise of our dispatcher and onduty local firefighters.” The agreement is for five years and the band will pay $8,000 for the first year. “It generates some funds for the city,” said Blair. Louis hopes the 911 service is the first step towards all jurisdictions working on a regional emergency plan. “There needs to be more co-ordinated effort,” he said.
Village sticks to anti-idling bylaw richard rolke Morning Star Staff
The Village of Lumby is not backing off its antiidling policy. Council is standing firm despite a letter from a resident protesting the rule that applies to commercial motor vehicles running in a residential area for more than three minutes. The fine is $100. “The bylaw has been in place for a long time and it’s one way that we’re moving towards a carbon neutral community,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. In the letter, the resident stated: “You cannot take off driving (in a diesel pickup) after three minutes in the middle of winter. You cannot drive until you can see.” Kevin Acton However, Acton doesn’t support that argument. “There are other ways to prepare your vehicle such as plugging in oil heaters to keep the engine warm or covering windows to prevent frost,” he said.
For the record The Morning Star wishes to correct a Sept. 4 article. The petition campaign to expand transit service wants bus service to run from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. The Morning Star apologizes for the error.
One of the reasons the village created the bylaw was because of the noise commercial trucks can generate for residents. “We have complaints of idling downtown with big trucks,” said Coun. Jo Anne Fisher. “There are issues of pollution, annoyance and noise.”

It’s been 25 years since Carson Holtz discovered why he was having trouble remembering things, seemed disorganized and had difficulty making friends. Following a series of tests and countless visits with doctors, Holtz was diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder at eight-years-old. Now 33, the Vernon resident has learned to cope with the symptoms of the condition and also wants to ensure others don’t have to go through it. “I will have them permanently,” said Holtz, originally from Edmonton, who grew up in Vernon with his adoptive parents after being raised in North Delta. Holtz is joining the community for FASD Awareness Day Monday with a walk and celebration in Spirit Park to share an important message. “It is 100 per cent preventable,” said Holtz, whom some may recognize from the Vernon Farmers’ Market, where he plays his guitar every Thursday. The event begins with a walk from Justice Park at 11:15 a.m. Monday, travelling down 30th Avenue, by Nolan’s and through the transit station to the old library/Spirit Square. “We’re having a meeting, games, speeches, food. Anybody is more than welcome as long as they support us (barbecue by donation),” said Holtz, who will also be performing with his guitar. The event is expected to wrap up by 1:30 p.m. with the goal of extending the message to as many as possible. The first FASD day was celebrated on 9/9/99. This day was chosen so that on the ninth day of the ninth month of the year, the world would remember that during the nine months of pregnancy a woman should abstain from alcohol. Holtz does not blame his birth mom, he just wants do everything possible to make people aware of the risks of drinking while pregnant or planning to become pregnant. “I forgave her a long time ago.” Along with his love of music, Holtz is a poet and has more than 1,000 poems. He has even sold his books of poems around town ($20 each), whenever he is helping out in the community (another favourite pastime) or socializing. He is currently working on obtaining his food safe, which he plans to use to obtain a job where he will get paid in food. He would also like to see more support for people suffering from FASD, whether it’s a support group or monetary assistance. “There’s really no funding for FASD,” said Holtz, whose support group is his church, his support worker and the Canadian Mental Health Association. “The staff are my good friends.” Holtz asks anyone interested in buying a copy of his poems to contact him at 778-475-4331 or by email: blastermaster555123@hotmail.com

“How will we make our community a place people want to move to?” The first phase identified the current situation in Enderby in terms of issues like transportation, downtown vitality, the economy and seniors, as well as a desired future and goals to achieve that future. The next stage will involve implementation, integration and monitoring. “I am looking forward to the next phase which is aligning legislative processes with what we need to do,” said Cyr. Among the documents that will be updated are the official community plan, the Knoll neighbourhood plan, the zoning bylaw, the subdivision servicing bylaw and the development procedures manual. Residents are being urged to provide comments on the plan by Sept. 17. “There’s been a lot of opportunities for feedback already and we welcome it,” said Cyr.

Law officials take to bikes for kids Morning Star Staff
Three North Okanagan law enforcement officials are changing from uniforms to cycling gear, all for a great cause. Armstrong RCMP officer Const. Tyler Jackson, Vernon sheriff Kevin Lane and Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP Supt. Reg Burgess are among the 21 riders and six support people from within the RCMP’s SouthEast District that will take part in the annual Cops For Kids Ride, which begins today in Kelowna. Jackson and Lane are among the cyclists who will travel 1,000 kilometres around B.C.’s southeastern portion, returning to Kelowna Sunday, Sept. 15. Burgess will join the team as a support crew member for the final three days of the tour. The 2013 Ride,
presented by The Thomas Alan Budd Foundation, will take the team across the South Eastern corner of British Columbia, to raise awareness and essential funds for children in medical, physical or traumatic crisis. “I’m honoured to be a part of this event again this year. These children require medical equipment, mobility & learning aids that aren’t covered by government funding, and Cops for Kids is able to provide these crucial funds because of this event,” said presenting sponsor Tom Budd. “This team covers some gruelling terrain to get across the region, and they’ve proven themselves as leaders in the community.” Over the 10-day journey, Cops for Kids riders will cycle into 18 different communi-

One year, in the pouring rain, organizer Rick Trehearne was expecting maybe 15 or 20 riders to take part in the annual Santas Anonymous Toy Run. Close to 125 showed up that day and, just three years ago, four riders short of 500 gathered at the Kal Lake Lookout for the popular motorcycle run, which raises needed toys for children. “The toy run is open to everyone with a motorcycle,” said Trehearne of the 25th annual Santas Anonymous Toy Run, which takes place Sunday at noon starting, as usual, at the Kal Lake Lookout. “The only direct cost to the rider is the toy they bring for the children.” While all toys are appreciated, Trehearne – in his 18th year as event coordinator and Santas Anonymous president – said educational toys for children aged six to 12 are desperately need.” Riders meet at the lookout. This year, they will head south to the Kekuli Bay Provincial Park along Kalamalka Lakeview Drive before turning right onto Highway 97. They’ll head into Vernon, then proceed to Highway 6 and travel to Lumby, stopping at the Lumby Lions

Anyone driving and using a cellular phone will be under additional scrutiny. Citizens Patrol is joining ICBC in bringing the Cell Watch program to Vernon during September. “Cell Watch is an educational initiative aimed at reducing distracted driving incidents in communities,” said Regan Borisenko, Vernon’s crime prevention coordinator. “The program is designed to remind drivers that it is illegal and dangerous to use handheld cell phones and other portable electronic devices when driving.” Police tell Cell Watch volunteers to set up Leave The Phone Alone signs at intersections and along major corridors to help raise awareness. “Volunteers also set up at locations based on complaints received from the community or other stakeholders,” said Borisenko.

Pub gains support for hours extension kevin parnell Black Press
It took some time, but Lake Country council decided to support a local pub’s application to the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch to stay open later. The Turtle Bay Pub has applied for a permanent change to its liquor license that would increase Lisa Cameron its closing time from
the current 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. When contemplating such extensions, the LCBC asks municipalities for input before making its decision. And Lake Country councillors had a few opinions at their meeting on Tuesday night. Coun. Penny Gambell said the move could create issues with other pubs possibly wanting to stay open later, as well as putting more intoxicated people on the street. “I support business but I worry about people stumbling home along a
busy highway.” Coun. James McEwan said some people that he knows won’t come to Lake Country because everything closes early, while Coun. Lisa Cameron said a move to later drinking hours is a move towards being more progressive. “This is just a small step into the 21st century as far as drinking establishments go,” she said. In the end, council was unanimous in its support of the proposal which will now go to the LCBC for a final decision.

Plan next year’s yard now
ow is a great time to start thinking about what you would like your yard to look like next year. Take a look at some of the gardens and yards of the Okanagan – planted with native or drought-tolerant planstings – and see what is doing well, despite summer’s heat and lack of moisture. There are a growing number of examples of low-water gardens in the Okanagan to learn from. In the North Okanagan, there is the Xerindipity Garden next to Okanagan
Science Centre. There is another at Allan Brooks Nature Centre. And the newest is at Okanagan College’s Vernon campus, which includes examples of rain gardens and various rainwater capture techniques from our Slow it. Spread it. Sink it. Okanagan Homeowner’s Guide (www.okwaterwise.ca/pdf/ HomeDrainageGuide_
Okanagan.pdf). In the Central Okanagan, there is the Okanagan Xeriscape Association’s UnH2O garden in front of the H2O fitness centre on Gordon Drive and it includes various garden types (e.g native, Mediterranean, butterfly). The lawn in front of the centre has also been replanted with drought-tolerant turf.
In the South Okanagan, you have several choices. Summerland Ornamental Gardens has an amazing xeriscape garden and is conducting extensive research on water conservation techniques appropriate to the Okanagan. Okanagan College in Penticton has a native plant garden for touring. Also, check out Grasslands Nursery which showcases native and lowwater gardens. The right plants can not only conserve water, but save you time and money. The Okanagan

Valley is home to many species of native plants well adapted to our semi-arid climate, natural soil and rainfall conditions. There are also a growing number of low-water plants and turf varieties available, that require far less water to survive and thrive than more traditional water-thirsty landscapes. And by choosing plants suitable to our dry climate, you can save more than just water. You also save time on maintenance, as well as money on yard-care products. Of course, they’ll also attract local birds and insects, adding to the beauty of your yard. Learn more at www. makewaterwork.ca.

Captaincy goes to Renz Blacklock inks Huskies deal
Morning Star Staff
He’s played a team-high 160 games in the BC. Hockey League, he’s been listed by NHL Central Scouting and he’d be the first guy to lend his shower gel to a goaltender. Ryan Renz is the ideal teammate, and the captain of the 2014 Royal Bank Cuphosting Vernon Vipers. The 20-year-old Castlegar product received a text from head coach/GM Jason Williamson Wednesday morning. “He asked me to come to the office when I got to the rink,” said Renz, an athletic 6-foot-3, 205-pound defenceman. “Willy and (associate coach Mallette) Kris were there to let me know me that I was chosen by the players to be the captain so I was pretty excited. It was a special moment. Then, a couple of hours later, they let the guys know I was chosen, and named the assistants.” Renz, touted as an NHL prospect at age 17, follows Viper captains Brett Corkey, Patrick McGillis and Dave Robinson, now an assistant coach. “I’ve played for three and met (Kevin) Kraus and I was around the league the same year they won it so I’ve seen what kind of standard they uphold here and what it’s all about.” Renz started his BCHL career with the Alberni Bulldogs and came to Vernon in a deal which saw Todd Skirving leave the Snakes three years ago. He’s got the captaincy mind-set in sync. “I try to lead by example. In the dressing room, I try to keep everything in order, and on the ice, I just go out and play my game and support my teammates, but also try and understand the time when guys need to be pushed a little bit too. I’m not overly rah, rah, by any stretch, but I think I know the right time to talk and be quiet as well.” The Vipers have 13 returnees from a non-playoff season, but the newbies are ultra-talented and committed to winning. “This team is totally different in the aspect that it’s business-like everyday at the rink,” said Renz, who cheers for Shea Weber of the Predators and the Vancouver Canucks. “I think guys know what’s at stake here and the opportunity that will be presented to us at the end of the season. We’re really excited about that and guys are jumping day in and day out.” He feels thoughts about the RBC will only enhance the Vipers’ eight-month odyssey. “We’re the only team that can actually

That’s their main focus right now, and ours is to build a team that’s gonna do well in the playoffs and the season, and is also gonna have that jam at the end of the season to bring home another Cup.” The alternate captains are d-men Jason Bird and Josh Bryan (159 BCHL games), who will take turns wearing a letter for home and road games, Brendan Persley and Mason Blacklock. “I was obviously very excited to be named one of the assistant captains,” said Persley. “We have a lot of big leaders in that room so I’m sure it was a tough decision by the coaches and team. Ryan’s a really good leader and I think he’s gonna lead the team very well. He’s got a lot of good supporting guys too. Even the guys who weren’t named captains bring lots to the table. I’m sure it’ll be a great season with a really strong leadership.” Persley, a 20-year-old, spent the summer resting a broken ankle, eating clean, catching up on sleep and sweating-tillhe-dropped with Crash Conditioning in Kelowna. He trained alongside NHLers Cody Franson, James Reimer and Justin Schultz. He, too, has witnessed a different
atmosphere in the den. “The guys are really gelling this year. Off the ice, we’re all coming together. We’re going to play baseball and last night, the whole team was at a movie. It’s just awesome. Everyone’s getting along; there’s no cliques or anything. There was a little bit of selfishness last year and this year, it looks great so far and I’m very excited to see what happens.” Meanwhile, it’s season 52 in the B.C. Hockey League with 15 teams hoping to join the Vipers in the Royal Bank Cup next May at Kal Tire Place. The Vipers, you may remember, traded superstars Adam Tambellini and Aaron Hadley last January and received six quality players, building their core for a long playoff run this season. There appears to be parity in the Interior Division for 2013-14 with the fourth and final playoff spot up for grabs. Just for the record, the BCHL has had 83 players chosen in the NHL entry draft since 2000. The best junior A league in Canada averages 100 NCAA and CIS scholarships a season. There are 127 junior A teams with the Vipers rated No. 5 in the pre-season national rankings, done in conjunction with Central Scouting.

“Making your home come to life”
A self-motivator, Mason Blacklock is thinking big as the 52nd B.C. Hockey League approaches. His personal goal is claiming the Vern Dye Memorial Trophy as MVP of the Interior Division. Winning that hardware would put him in the same category as the likes of Travis Zajac, Chuck Kobasew, Paul Kariya and Vernon Viper grads Hunter Bishop and Lanny Gare. The Michigan Tech University Huskies believe in Blacklock’s potential and have signed the Viper forward to a scholarship offer. “My advisor has a good, close history with the school and I have some close buddies who went there,” said Blacklock, moments after practice Wednesday at Kal Tire Place. “They made me feel welcome from the day they started talking to me and at the end of the day, I was just really comfortable going to a school and good program like that.” The Huskies love the BCHL and Blacklock checked with Michigan Tech buddies Jujhar Khaira, Alex Petan and Ryan Sweeney before signing a letter of intent. His linemate, Demico Hannoun, and Vernon’s Alex Gillies, of the Salmon Arm SilverBacks, have also signed commitments with Michigan Tech. “Mel Pearson (head coach) used to coach at Michigan (Wolverines) and he’s brought a lot of guys to the NHL and my goal is to go to the NHL and get an education at the same time.” Huskies’ assistant coach Bill Muckalt, a former BCHL superstar, was at Viper training camp two weeks ago. Muckalt and Blacklock have been talking since last season. Blacklock, 19, still has two years of BCHL eligibility and will play this season for the Vipers. The NCAA Division I Huskies will decide whether he joins them for the following season, or the 2015-16 campaign. “Mason has become an elite player in the BCHL and will progress into a very good college hockey player,” said Vipers’ head coach/GM Jason Williamson. “Since his arrival in Vernon, he has been one of our most consistent and dangerous players.” The 6-foot-1, 195-pound White Rock product joined the Snakes at the trading deadline last January, in the Adam Tambellini blockbuster with the Surrey Eagles. The fourth-year veteran amassed 19 goals, 35 points and 14 penalty minutes in 53 games. Added Williamson: “Mason has worked very hard to become the player he is. He is very deserving of this and I look forward to watching him grow as a player this year. He will definitely be one of our goto-guys and someone we will lean on going into the 2014 Royal Bank Cup.”

Interior preview Continued from a20
Black Press sports reporters and editors have assessed the rosters and decided on the following finishes: 1. PENTICTON VEES Key Returnees: F Brad McClure (27-19-46) named captain during the summer, F Ryan Gropp (12-19-31) named Interior Conference Rookie of the Year, F Cody DePourcq (13-8-21), F Travis Blanleil (6-6-12), F Cam Amantea (7-12-19). Rookie Sensations: Alexandre Coulombe, 18, joins the Vees after playing prep hockey with the Stanstead College Spartans where he amassed eight goals and 34 points in 62 games. The 6-foot-4 d-man was ranked 68th by NHL Central Scouting prior to the 2013 entry draft. Jack Ramsey, the son of former NHL defenceman Mike Ramsey, collected nine goals and 27 points in 24 games with the Minnetonka High School Skippers. The 6-foot-2 power forward is committed to the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Strengths: The Vees’ coaching staff has built from the back end out. Head coach/GM Fred Harbinson likes the experience of his goalies with 20-yearold Olivier Mantha and 18-year-old Hunter Miska. The defence is made up of a group with two to three years of junior A experience joined by rookies Coulombe and Jarod Hilderman. Coach’s quote (Harbinson): “You always know you have a good team when it’s hard to pick your captains. We have got so many guys that can wear letters on this team. Guys that have been captains on other teams in the past. That, to me, is what’s going to make this team go.” 2. VERNON VIPERS Key Returnees: F Mason Blacklock (19-16-35), D Jason Bird (3-4-7), D Ryan Renz (3-23-26), G Austin Smith (13-26-1, 2.82 GAA, .908 SAV). Rookie Sensations: F Matty Saharchuk led the KIJHL-finalist North Okanagan Knights in regularseason scoring with 32-28-60 in 50 games, and added 15 playoff points. Dallas Calvin, a 6-foot-5 forward, was fifth in KIJHL scoring last season with 31-43-74 in 40 games. F Liam Coughlin is a 6-foot-4 centre out of Catholic Memorial, the same Boston-area prep school that produced Viper grads Garrett Noonan and Mike Collins. First-year associate coach Kris Mallette is coming off a Coach of the Year performance (Doug Birks Division) with North Okanagan, and will demand structure and accountability from the Viper back end. Strengths: With the return of Blacklock, Craig Martin and Dexter Dancs, along with the addition of snipers Michael McNicholas and Demico Hannoun, the Vipers should easily outperform last year’s league-worst offence. Renz, Bird and Josh Bryan lead a physical defensive corps. The team is the biggest Vernon has fielded in years. Coach’s Quote (Jason Williamson): “We’ll be good defensively, but at the same time we definitely have some offensive guys, so we’re going to be tough to defend against. We’re going to get the same out of all four lines.” 3. SALMON ARM SILVERBACKS Key Returnees: F Alex Gillies (21-26-47), F Evan Anderson (10-14-24), D Mitchell Ferguson (6-1622), G Adam Clark (18-16-1, 2.89 GAA, .914 SAV). Rookie Sensations: Vernon minor hockey product Colton Thibault excelled in his first year of junior B with the Knights, racking up 16-26-42 in 49 games. F Jack Berezan, the son of former NHLer Perry Berezan, is a 17-year-old forward who recorded 12-5-17 while playing a gritty two-way game with the Calgary Buffaloes. Strengths: In his first year as Salmon Arm’s GM, Troy Mick gutted the program, trading 13 of 16 returnees. They still made the playoffs, and now return a solid corps of veterans. The ‘Backs top line of Gillies, Anderson and Landon Smith will be supported by a deep forward corps. Texan Blake Box is the team’s 13th captain. Zach Urban, and Jeff and Brendan Kennedy are alternates. Coach’s Quote (Mick): “I’m a lot happier where I am today than I was this time last year because I really didn’t know our roster. We’ve improved our program from top to bottom.” 4. WEST KELOWNA WARRIORS Key Returnees: F Seb Lloyd (24-42-66), F Ambrose Firkus (11-9-20), F David Pope (17-2239, drafted by Detroit), F Matt Anholt (9-22-31), D Adam Plant (5-23-28). Rookie Sensations: F Liam Blackburn comes from Prince George where last season he was the second-leading BCMML scorer (35-50-85) with the Cariboo Cougars. West Kelowna’s F Brett Mennear, garnered 24-31-55 in 38 games with the major midget Okanagan Rockets. Boston native Carl Hesler is a 19-year-old rookie out of prep school south of the border and is already committed to Dartmouth University Big Green for the 2014-15 season.

Burns off to Fairbanks Graeme Corbett Morning Star Staff
Powell River is the most remote destination in the B.C. Hockey League. The 10-hour, two-ferry trip to the Sunshine Coast is dreaded by most Interior teams, and as Vernon’s Jordan Burns is learning, it’s not much fun coming the other way either. Extended trips are something the second-year Powell River Kings’ defenceman will have to get used to now that he has signed to play NCAA Division 1 hockey with the Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves. Aside from the Alaska Nanooks, based in Fairbanks, the Seawolves’ nearest rival in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association is 4,700 kilometres away (Minnesota State). The AlabamaHuntsville Chargers are the furthest at 6,700 km. The extra air miles are worth it to Burns, who felt a good vibe when he visited Anchorage in July. “The hockey program there is really good,” said Burns, an 18-year-old who led the Kings’ defence with four goals and 22 helpers last season. “I’ve heard nothing but great things about it. The coaching is top-notch and they have a great history of moving guys on. “You can tell they want me there. You want to go somewhere you’re wanted, and it’s a place that could set me up for success.” Committed for the 2015-16 season, Burns will have two seasons to round out his game under the guidance of Powell River head coach Kent Lewis. A product of the Okanagan Rockets’ Major Midget program, Burns has already shown he can put up points. Now he wants to develop the other facets of his game. “Last year, I was more about the offence but this year I’m really trying to think about the defence too and become more of a full player. I want to play a bigger role.” Of Lewis, he added: “In practice, he pushes me to be aggressive on defence and make good choices. “I just like to make a good first pass, and on the powerplay, make some nice backdoor passes and create chances on net.” Lewis, whose teams also seem to be among the BCHL’s best defensively, has been impressed with Burns’ dedication to offseason conditioning. “He’s obviously going to continue to develop, and in two more years, he’ll be an elite defenceman in this league,” said Lewis. “He’s very deceptive and very smart with the puck. I’m looking for him to start taking control of games. “Last year, we had a bit of a young corps from a huge turnover the year before and Jordan benefitted from that because he got flung into a lot of

Vernon’s Jordan burns, a defenceman with the Powell river Kings, has secured an NCaa Division 1 scholarship with the alaska-Fairbanks Seawolves. icetime.” With a population of just over 13,000, and with not much in the way of entertainment, Powell River is an ideal hockey town, both in terms of drawing fans and the team itself, said Burns. “The town’s a lot different than Vernon, but it’s nice here and it’s good because we know each other pretty well because there’s not much to do other than hang out with them.” After last season’s first-round playoff exit to the Victoria Grizzlies (the Kings blew a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series), Burns said the team is motivated for a bounce-back year. He packed on 15 pounds of muscle by working with Sam Mowat, owner of Vernon’s Total Approach Fitness. He came into camp at 6-foot, 190 pounds. “The guys we have in camp this year, you can tell they want to be here and want to buy into the systems,” said Burns. “It’s looking up for this year. It’s definitely positive.” Burns, who graduated from Vernon Secondary this summer, plans to study criminal justice in Alaska, with the goal of becoming an RCMP officer.

Eviston to Express Continued from A20
The Huskies are based in Houghton, population 7,700. Blacklock is used to change, having previously played for Langley and Nanaimo before joining Surrey. He pocketed 25 goals as a 15-year-old with the Valley West Hawks of the B.C. Major Midget League. “The last nine months have been a whirlwind,” said the soft-spoken Blacklock. “I just re-established myself as kind of a top player. I came to a great organization in Vernon and I have a chance to compete in an RBC this year which not a lot of guys can say right now. “You kind of gotta relish in the moment, but also realize what kind of an opportunity we have here and not take it lightly and work hard from day one, win and go in the right way.” A fan of Flyers’ phenom Claude Giroux and the Vancouver Canucks, Blacklock earns his shower every shift. He leads by example. “I wanna come back to where I was last year and even more. I wanna be a dynamic player, a bit more of a
BACK TO SCHOOL ANY
playmaker and I wanna be a leader, that guys who can kind of model their game after. For me, personally, I wanna be the best player in the league this year and never be satisfied, get a bit better each day.” And after 32 games in a championship-team atmosphere in Surrey, he believes the Vipers match well with the Eagles’ mind-set. “I think we’re close. I’m noticing this year, which is very important, the guys are close. There’s no cliques. We’ve got four really good lines that can all play, a really solid dee core and really solid goaltending which is what you need.” Meanwhile, the Vipers have dealt defenceman Bryce Eviston to the Coquitlam Express in exchange for future considerations. Eviston, a 19-year-old out of Vancouver, earned one goal, four points and 14 penalty minutes in 50 games last year. The Vipers are one player over the 22-man limit as they prepare to start the season at the Bauer Showcase Saturday morning in Chilliwack against Surrey. Vernon faces the host Chiefs Sunday night. 99 The Vipers’ home + tax opener is Saturday, Sept. 14 against the Salmon TAKE Arm SilverBacks.

Warriors return scoring talent Continued from A21
Strengths: With the likes of Lloyd, Firkus and Pope all returning up front, the Warriors will have a skilled offensive attack. On defence, Plant returns after last season playing on the top pairing, while 20-year-old Jaden Schmeisser, acquired in an off-season trade with Victoria, will bring a veteran presence. Coaches quote (Rylan Ferster, who signed a five-year extension in the off season): “We have more new faces than we had last year so it will take some time to get a read on the team. It’s going to be a tough division. There are going to be two really good teams that don’t make the playoffs. Our goal is to make the playoffs and go from there.” 5. MERRITT CENTENNIALS Key Returnees: F Sebastien Paré (17-27-44), F Scott Patterson (11-1425), F Jeff Wight (13-10-23), D Tyler Martin (6-17-23), D Dane Birks (5-1520), F James Neil (7-13-20, acquired from the Powell River Kings), D Shane Poulsen (7-15-22, acquired from the Smokies). Rookie Sensations: Rhett Willcox (96), Gavin Gould (96) and Adam Tracey (95), should add some firepower to the Cents’ forward corps. Willcox, the younger brother of former Centennial and Philadelphia Flyers’ draft pick Reese Willcox, netted 21-31-52 in 40 games last season with the Valley West Hawks of the BCMML. Gould, whose older brother, Malcolm, played three seasons in the BCHL (2009-2012) with Quesnel and Chilliwack, amassed 8-18-26 in just 24 games last season with the Vancouver NW Giants (BCMML). Tracey, from Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., played with the Long Island Royals, last year’s U.S. Tier 1 U16 national champions. The 6-foot-2 winger supplied 34-27-61 for the 59-6-3 Royals. The Centennials have a pair of solid defenders in Americans Wayland Williams (94), who played last season for the NAHL Corpus Christi Ice Rays, and Chicago’s Jake Clifford (94) from the NAHL’s Minot Minotauros. Devin Kero, a 19-year-old goalie from Hancock, Mich., didn’t allow a goal in almost five periods of preseason play. Strengths: The Cents, who finished third last year in the Interior, have a solid nucleus of returnees, as well some exciting,
talented new recruits. The Cents’ top line of Wight, Paré and Patterson has the potential to be one of the league’s best. Coach’s Quote (Luke Pierce): “We are very excited to get this season started with what appears to be a very promising, young group of players. This past year saw many of our long-time players move on, and we can’t wait to work on building the Cents’ culture with this new group. Expectations here are to remain in the upper echelon of our conference.” 6. TRAIL SMOKE EATERS Key Returnees: F Adam Wheeldon (8-10-18), D Braden Pears (6-29-35) , F Scott Davidson (11-23-34), F Jesse Knowler (9-14-23), F Bryce Knapp (injured last season), and G Adam Todd (12-6-0, 3.63 GAA, .891 SAV). Rookie Sensations: Although listed at five-foot-eight, Riley Brandt plays a foot taller. The 16-year-old combines grit and determination, with touch and finesse around the net. He collected 10 goals, 27 points and 70 PIM in 49 games with the Beaver Valley Nitehawks last season. The arrival of 20-year-old rookie Dustin Nikkel (13-7-1, 2.71 GAA, .922 SAV) from North Okanagan gives the Smokies a legitimate goaltending tandem that can single-handedly win games. Strengths: The Smoke Eaters should have a strong and versatile defensive core with returning veterans Pears, Braedon Jones, and Valik Chichkin. Throw in newly acquired 20-year-old Curtis Toneff and Alberta pickup Joel Webb, 18, Nick Patey, 18, and Nathan Browne, 19, of Vernon, the Smokies will be stingy in their own end. Todd came in and performed brilliantly last season winning 12 of 18 games he appeared in. Coach’s quote (Bill Birks): “Our goaltending is the best we’ve ever had here, with two legit guys that can play goal. Our back end played real well (in exhibition games). Our top nine, I think we’re pretty solid. We’re not going to score seven or eight goals a game, but with our goaltending and our back end, we got a pretty good core group of kids . . . I’m excited to get going.” Contributors: Graeme Corbett and Kevin Mitchell in Vernon, Kevin Parnell in West Kelowna, Manny Sequeira in Penticton, Ian Webster in Merritt and Jim Bailey in Trail.

Season Heats up Morning Star Staff/UBCO Athletics
Provincial finalists for the past two PacWest women’s soccer seasons, the UBC Okanagan Heat will have one final crack at a title before they jump up to the CIS Canada West Conference in 2014. The Heat, coached by Claire Paterson, kick off the season Saturday (1 p.m.) as they host the Vancouver Island University Mariners at Nonis Sports Field in Kelowna. The Heat were second in the regular season last year at 7-1-6. They grounded the Quest Kermodes 4-1 in the semifinals before falling 1-0 to the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack in the championship game. Paterson, entering her sixth season with the Heat, has a good mix of veterans and young players. Defender Jennifer Kidd is a four-time PacWest all-star, and will be joined by fellow fifth-year players Hayley Uyeyama (Kelowna) and midfielder Taylor Sarchet (Surrey). Vernon’s Kirsten Dodds, a thirdyear striker, shared UBC Okanagan’s scoring lead with Delta’s Lindsey Briggs, each with four goals. Christine Tallon, a fourth-year keeper from Kamloops, will once again anchor the Heat defence. Michelle Smith, who pocketed three goals last year, enters her third season in the Heat midfield. The Mariners went 2-7-5 last year. The Capilano University Blues of North Vancouver visit UBC Okanagan Sunday at 2 p.m. The Blues finished in the PacWest cellar at 1-9-4. The Heat men’s team will be looking to improve upon a disappointing 2-7-5 record starting Saturday afternoon (3 p.m.) against VIU, followed by a 2 p.m. matinee against the Blues. VIU was the second-best team in Canada in 2012, but the Mariners have graduated a multitude of players,
including first team all-stars Stephan Ewashko and Matt Mehrassa. Like VIU, the Blues are a new-look team this year, welcoming seven firstyear players. The Heat will miss graduates Dustin Luck (Kelowna), Zach Donaldson-Hall (Kamloops) and Sean Causier (Port Moody), but head coach Dante Zanatta believes a quartet of third-year players – Donald Straith (Victoria), Jorden Leib (Bellingham, Wash.), Dylan Abbott (Salmon Arm), and Harrison Shrimpton (Vancouver) – are ready for larger roles. Fulton grad Austin Jones, a midfielder who collected seven goals last season, is beginning his fourth year with the Heat. Coldstream’s Enzo Paal, a 6-foot-4 mid/forward, is entering his freshman year, and has amazing skill. Meanwhile, the Thompson Rivers men’s team, featuring Enderby’s Corey Wallis, enters its final PacWest season having won their final two exhibition games. The Pack swept the UNBC Timberwolves in preseason play last weekend, and will open the season Saturday at home against Capilano. “Our expectations are quite high considering the team we have this year,” said Sean Wallace, who is cocoaching TRU with John Antulov. “Our first goal is to make playoffs and then see what we can do from there. After winning bronze last year at provincials, we feel the returning players have the experience now to strive for a provincial title.” Wallis recently helped North Enderby Timber win the North Okanagan Soccer League’s Gibson Cup title.

anniversary, Vernonbased Kal Tire has supported the construction of an outdoor play area at the Vernon Recreation Complex. The project includes recycled tire products. “The community will benefit for years to come,” said Robert Ford, Kal Tire president. “Using recycled tire product for recreational resurfacing is ideal: the surfaces are resilient and nearly maintenance-free; they are safe, attractive and inclusive for everyone to use; and it is a responsible way to use recycled tires.” Kal Tire has also supported projects in Hope, Sechelt, Nelson, Osoyoos and Vancouver. “We’re excited about each of these projects because these parks and playgrounds will give families in these communities a fun and safe place to play,” said Foord.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Consider what isn’t working in your life and begin the process that will lead to peace of mind and a bright future. Don’t hesitate to give someone else the chance to take control. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) A geographical change will spark enthusiasm and inspiration. You may need to negotiate with someone who could greatly help your cause. Learn as you go, and you will excel. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Be secretive about your plans. Strategize carefully and get everything in place before you make your move. You can come out on top, but your timing must be faultless. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Don’t let your emotions stand between you and success. Someone you love may sabotage your plans if you have been neglectful of them. Take care of both personal and professional responsibilities to minimize obstacles. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Partnership situations will be difficult. Expect to face a standoff that could alter the way you do things in the future. Offer an experimental way to solve differences, and you may find common ground. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You’re in a good cycle for contracts, agreements and moneymaking opportunities. Share ideas with someone who has as much to contribute as you do. An unusual path could be the one to take to reach your objective. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Consider a certain change, but don’t jump in too quickly. You aren’t likely to get what
you want if you are restless and impatient. Let someone else make the first move. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Keep things moving along. Stubbornness will be what stands between you and success. A practical approach to a job will help you avoid complaints and interference. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Travel and communication will inspire you. The fresh ideas coming your way may seem challenging at first, but with a couple of adjustments you’ll find a way to make things happen. CANCER (June 21-July 22) If you invite friends over to enjoy the comfort of your home, you will be able to successfully ask for favors and support. At the very least, a fun time will be had by all. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Not everyone will agree with your choices, but you have to do what’s best for you. Be receptive and polite in the face of criticism, but trust your own mind above others. Love is on the rise.
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.

Bridge by Phillip Alder SHOW YOUR HAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE Groucho Marx said, “I’m not feeling very well -- I need a doctor immediately. Ring the nearest golf course.” Before we get to the relevance of that, look at the full deal and auction. What do you think about the various calls? Here is a good guideline: If your hand is not strong but has a long suit, show it immediately. In this case, East should have opened four hearts. Similarly, after the oneheart opening, South should have overcalled with three spades. West was right to make a negative double, promising length in both minors. Then,
if East, with scant defensive values, was going to bid four hearts over three spades, she should have bid it over two diamonds. Do not give the opponents a fielder’s choice -- to double or to bid higher. And South should have passed four hearts around to North, who would have been happy to double. Four hearts should go down two. South leads the spade ace, then shifts to her singleton diamond. North takes two tricks in the suit and leads the diamond three, suit-preference for clubs. South ruffs and switches to a club. North wins with the ace and plays another diamond. East can ruff high, but must lose one more trick to North’s heart king.
Four spades can be made. West leads his singleton. East takes two heart tricks, then does best to lead her trump (but would probably play another heart). South wins with her ace and cashes the king. Eventually, South must guess to lead the club queen from her hand to pin East’s jack.

Star Month
Middle school plan proceeds
of the
Annelle, Carrier of the Month
kevin parnell Black Press
Plans continue towards a new middle school next to Lake Country’s George Elliot Secondary. The Agriculture Land Commission will meet in October to discuss the tentative sale of the Aspen Grove Golf Course to the Central Okanagan School District. The ALC must decide whether or not to remove it from the Agriculture Land Reserve for sports fields.
Annelle has been delivering the Morning Star in the Lavington area for almost four years and has proven to be an outstanding carrier. We at the Morning Star would like to congratulate you Annelle for a job very well done! Sponsored By:

A no vote could potentially void the deal between the district and the golf course and force the school district to find another location for the proposed middle school. “Come October when we get the decision (from the ALC) we will have to assess whether we proceed with the purchase or whether other options need to be looked at,� said Emily Watson, school district planning manager. “The (George Elliot) site would be inadequate without that (golf course) space.� While the future of the proposed school awaits the decision by the ALC, Watson brought Lake Country council up to speed on plans at its Tuesday meeting. The school district is now compiling a project identification report that will be submitted to the provincial government by the end of the year, laying out the need for a new school in Lake Country. In the meantime, Watson said a stand-alone annex will be constructed using seven Penny Gambell portables that have already been moved to George Elliot. Grade 7s from Lake Country’s three elementary schools will be moved to the annex and begin a middle school curriculum in Sept. of 2014. “It will be a mix of pre-existing portables and new construction,� said Watson. “The whole thing will sit on a foundation with a roof over top. The exterior of the building will be re-clad and designed to fit in with the other school. There will be separate staff space, washrooms and Grade 7s will have lockers in the annex. From the inside it feels very much like a permanent school; much different than stand alone portables.� Coun. Penny Gambell is concerned about using portables and asked the school district to proceed with caution. “I would urge the school district to look very closely at what they are doing because it looks like they are putting the cart before the horse,� said Gambell. Other councillors asked the school district about possible programs at the new school such as agriculture or sports academies and Watson said there would be community consultation before the school opens, which is still several years away. “We’re not able to give a timeline on funding (from the province),� she said. “There are certain things we can do as a district to make the business case for this. Then it goes to the provincial government and there is uncertainty. You are at least three years from opening a school even when you do get confirmation (from government).� When a new school is eventually built, plans are for it to house students in Grades 6, 7 and 8, while only Grade 7s will use the annex eliminating a space crunch at Lake Country’s three elementary schools.

Swim along with the salmon to Lumby this weekend Morning Star Staff
The fourth annual Wild Salmon Festival is swimming into Lumby’s Community Park today and Saturday to bring attention for a fish passage on the Shuswap River. Held previously in July, organizers moved the festival to September to coincide with the return of the salmon to the area, and with families returning from summer holidays. “The Wild Salmon Festival creates awareness about our local wild salmon and the goal to build a fish passage around Wilsey Dam on the Shuswap River near Lumby, which would enable the chinook, sockeye and coho salmon
to access 30 kilometres of pristine spawning area above the dam towards Cherryville,” said festival producer Randy Rauck. The Wilsey Dam was constructed in 1929 by the West Canadian Hydro Electric Corporation (which later became part of BC Hydro), with the recommendation that a fish passage be constructed then. “Historically, these spawning grounds were an important spiritual and cultural site,” said Rauck. “The dam turbines at Shuswap Falls also provided power to most of the North Okanagan area in past times.” Besides presentations on the salmon, fes-
tival attendees can enjoy an eclectic array of musical performances, kids activities, vendors, food, including a wild salmon dinner, workshops, dignitaries, the salmon trail walk, and more. This year’s music headliners include two of the Okanagan’s hottest acts, The Young’uns, who take the stage tonight, and High Voltage, an AC/DC tribute band, on Saturday night. Many other Okanagan artists will play throughout the weekend including the Floyd Vedan Band, Wheelhouse, Gallon’s Corner, The Mabel Lickers, The Handles, Adrenaline
Rush, the band formerly known as Crossfire, Barefoot Caravan... the list goes on. Free workshops on Saturday include playing the ukulele with Christine KendalWard at 2 p.m. and percussion and movement with Angela Roy (of Barefoot Caravan/ Expression Collective) at 3 p.m. Gates to the festival open at 5 p.m. today and at noon Saturday. Tickets are $15 today and $20 Saturday (kids under 12 are free) at the gate and in advance at Village Gallery on Vernon Street (Highway 6), Lumby.

The trio hone in on a higher-than-high blend of hip hop colours and classic balladry. It’s a far reaching sound that draws on urban experience and unshackled studio ideas. But Legend’s songwriting is as smooth as his voice and he doesn’t break the spell. His contribution to Quentin Tarentino’s Django Unchained sound track is a recent example of his experimental soul sound, but Love in the Future is less spaghetti Western leaning but equally atmospheric throughout its many tracks. There’s a feeling of

inspiration in the album that peaks at several points. These are Open Your Eyes, a sonically adventurous ballad, the shivery Save the Night and Wanna Be Loved, a fast forward postcard from the past sent by Marvin Gaye. The experimentation brings the songs to another place and Legend’s suave vocal persona conveys otherworldly longing. His piano man roots are richly tendered and deep. Legend could easily hold up an album with himself seated on a stool in front of a keyboard with a mic hanging overhead (All of Me). But this is something beyond that – a high level of creativity in the music and a zoned-in mix of studio magic and out-on-theedge soul-style songwriting that brushes against psychedelic sources. Marvin Gaye would dig it.

Getaway
n Getaway, Ethan Hawke portrays a former race car driver Brent Magna, whose wife has been kidnapped by Bulgarian bad guys. Magna receives a phone call explaining, in exchange for his services, Mrs. Magna will be allowed to live. All Magna has to do is steal an armoured Shelby, which has also been wired with cameras and microphones, then follow Taylor and Howe the instructions of Jon Voight, the voice on the other end of the phone. Just when poor Mr. Magna thinks things couldn’t get any worse for him, a young woman known only as the Kid, (Selena Gomez) attempts to car-jack him. We say, “It’s maybe the worst movie, ever.” HOWE: Well after taking the month of August off I was hoping I had missed all the summer tripe (The Smurfs 2, City of Bones, etc.) only to find that I have just witnessed the worst movie I have seen since reviewing movies. I can deal with bad acting and lack of decent action scenes as long as the plot is good. Getaway is none of these. TAYLOR: I’d have to agree, sort of. One can always expect a certain amount of silliness from Hollywood action flicks. For instance, one does not go to any Fast and Furious movie because of its riveting plot. However, Getaway, which really should be called “Car Chase City”, does not deliver the goods. The goods, of course, are exciting, well planned and captured chase scenes. Getaway uses way too many camera angles that are cut together too frantically to really enjoy the smash-up derby.

Anja rides to the finish Cara Brady Special to The Morning Star
Anja Rietdorf thought about her fundraising bike ride for three years and planned every detail for a year-and-a-half. “I wanted to do a fundraiser for children with developmental disabilities because my younger brother has developmental disabilities and I wanted to do something for my new country,” said Rietdorf, who moved to Canada from Germany three years ago. Everything fell into place. She arranged to have all donations for her ride to go to a Canadian charity that helps children with special needs, got local help with supplies for her bike and bike trailer, bought a truck to follow her and had a support team to drive the truck. They started out from Victoria May 12 and things went according to plan for the 3,500 kilometres to Winnipeg in early June. Then things were not working out with the support team and Rietdorf was left with the bike, trailer and truck. The charity withdrew its support when she told it she would go on to complete the ride alone. “I was upset and disappointed and thought I would have to give up. I was so close to giving up. Then I said to myself, ‘I am not a quitter. I will try with just me and my bike and my little trailer. Then I can say I did my best.’ People encouraged me through my website and that inspired me. I got the supplies I needed, parked my truck at a friend’s place and went on. “I’m impressed by all the kind and helpful people, some with kids with disabilities, that I met. The right people came at the right time to help me. It was a challenge going on alone and having to make all the decisions myself but I grew and found my own strength. I know now when you put your mind to something you can do anything. I’m happy I didn’t give up.” Rietdorf said the experience turned out to be so much more meaningful than she could have hoped, changing her life in a positive way. “I met so many great people across this beautiful country who were helping me and everyone taught me something. I believe everything has a reason in our life, sometimes we see or realize it a day, a

Anja Rietdorf smiles next to the statue of Terry Fox in St. John’s, Nfld., after she completed her cross-Canada ride to raise money for children with disabilities. week, a month or years later. “To finish my bike ride this way, showed me my strength and my beliefs in myself and God/the Universe. My life is so much more enjoyable now, because I know I can do anything and do not have any reason to worry about my future.” Rietdorf finished her ride Aug. 10 at St. John’s, Nfld., for total of 8,293 km. “I don’t know how much money the ride raised for the charity. My next goal is to have my own foundation to help people with disabilities of all ages to fulfill their dreams. And I would like to do another ride in the
opposite way in a few years to raise money for my foundation once it is established,” she said, adding that all donations made to the charity in her name will be spent on its work with children with disabilities. Rietdorf would like to extend her thanks to everyone who supported and encouraged her, in particular Olympia Cycle & Ski, Kal Tire, Wayside, Vernon Vintners and Randi from Naturally Yours. Rietdorf is having a Welcome Back Potluck Sunday at 5 p.m. at The People Place (3402-27th Ave., Vernon), which will include a presentation on the ride.

Be aware of atrial fibrillation
ear Annie: Atrial fibrillation is a serious health issue that can lead to stroke. I didn’t even really know about it until my wife and I attended a preventive health screening at a local church where they checked for atrial fibrillation and other stroke risk factors. It turns out that atrial fibrillation is an irregular heartbeat that you may not even feel. We had no idea my wife had this condition until the screening. We brought the results to our doctor’s office, and they Kathy Mitchell & MarcySugar jumped on it. An EKG confirmed the screening results and told us that my wife was on the verge of having a stroke. This screening saved her life. September is Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Month, and I hope everyone will be checked for it. It is treatable. Finding it and working with your doctor to manage it can save your life or the life of someone you love. — Dewey Bandy, Zephyr Hills, Fla. Dear Dewey Bandy: Thank goodness you and your wife attended the screening. We hope your letter will serve as a reminder to all of our readers to talk to their doctor about being tested for atrial fibrillation.
annie's mailbox
Dear Annie: I recently learned that my husband of 40 years has reconnected with an old flame. I don’t think anything has happened between them yet, but I am sure he’d go for it if he wouldn’t get caught. So, I would like to address this to her: Dear Other Woman: My husband is a good provider, but don’t expect companionship. I can count on one hand the number of times we have seen a movie in 40 years. Don’t expect him to attend church or any other activity with you. Don’t expect to have a social life. Don’t expect him to go for a walk with you, even though he has a number of health issues and a walk would be good for him. Do expect to work full time and still do almost everything else to run the household. Do expect him to spend almost every evening and weekend watching TV. Do expect him to want sex on a regular basis, although he doesn’t care about your satisfaction. When his grandchildren visit, do expect to entertain and watch them, because he won’t. From your conversations with him, you probably think I am just baggage at this point, but say the word, and I will pack his suitcase. — Too Tired To Care Dear Too Tired: Your marriage sounds depressing and exhausted. If you want to salvage what’s left, please consider putting some energy back into it. Marriage takes
effort from both partners. Your husband is looking for excitement, and you’re fed up with his self-centered behavior. Is it too late for you to work up any interest? Could he possibly learn to be more considerate? Please get some counseling, with or without him, and decide what you want from your life and whether it includes your husband. Dear Annie: Thank you for your perfect answer to “Wichita, Kan.,” the teacher who asked what gift to give students when invited to their graduation parties. You said a personal letter saying positive things about the student is also a “gift.” My daughter just graduated high school and invited a substitute science teacher she really liked to her graduation party. Later that evening, she was going through the cards people had left for her. When she opened the card from the science teacher, she proclaimed, “Look what Mr. McF gave me!” and handed it to me to read. There was nothing in the card but a handwritten message. But the message was priceless. When my daughter sat down to write her graduation thank-you notes, this teacher received one, along with all of the notes for physical gifts. It was truly appreciated. — Proud Mother in N.P., NE 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.
Poetry celebrates an ode to a farmer Morning Star Staff
The BC Association of Farmers’ Markets (BCAFM) wants to know why you appreciate farmers, and they want you to tell them in the form of a poem — a haiku, a ballad, an ode or a limerick, the style is up to you. Novice and experienced writers alike are invited to submit their best agricultureinspired poems to the first Ode To A Farmer Poetry Contest, in honour of Farmers Appreciation Week Sept. 8 to 15. The fourth annual Farmers Appreciation Week highlights the
important contribution that local food and farmers make to our lives by drawing attention to agricultural and food system issues. “We want British Columbians to tell us why they appreciate their local farmers and the fresh food they grow,” says Elizabeth Quinn, BCAFM executive director. “We know there is a lot of support out there, and this is a great way to express our admiration and gratitude for farmers, who don’t always have the opportunity to hear our praise for them.” The contest is open to all B.C. resi-
dents. Submissions will be accepted until Sunday at midnight, the first day of Farmers Appreciation Week. To celebrate the diversity of BC’s agriculture, contest judges will select one winning poem in each region of BC, including the Thompson Okanagan. Six winning authors will receive a $50 gift certificate to the BCAFM farmers’ market of their choice. The contest will be judged by B.C. writers Tamara Leigh, a freelance agriculture journalist, communications consultant, president of the BC and Canada Farm Writers
Associations, and FarmHugger blogger based in the Cowichan Valley of Vancouver Island, and Renée Sarojini Saklikar author of the thecanadaproject. Her work appears in various literary journals, newspapers and anthologies, including
Geist and Contemporary Verse 2: The Canadian Journal of Poetry and Critical Writing (CV2). For more information on how to participate in the contest, see the Farmers Appreciation Week Web site at www.bcfarmersmarket.org.
The Great Trinity Debate. If God is 3 persons Christianity loses its necessary connection with God’s people - the Jews # - an essential aspect of the atonement. Although Christ was son of God he was truly human and experienced the very sufferings we endure. If He was never truly one of us He cannot understand us in the way scripture provides and could not have died for our sins. To believe in Jesus and His atoning work we must reject any consideration of the doctrine of the Trinity.

Number of B.C. forest fires below average Wildfires down 300+ from average tom fletcher Black Press
B.C. has emerged from one of its sunnier summers in recent years with a below-average number of
forest fires. As of Sept. 1, the B.C. government’s wildfire management branch record 1,687 reported wildfires for the season, compared to an average year of nearly 2,000 fires. This year’s fires burned a total of 11,434 hectares, far less than the average damage of more than 130,000
hectares. Wet weather returned with school to large parts of the province, after a sunny summer that saw several dry-weather records set. For the first time since records were kept, Vancouver airport recorded no rain for the entire month of July. The number of report-
ed fires so far this year is slightly higher than the total for last year, but the total area burned in 2012 was nearly 10 times greater. The province spent $133 million on firefighting last year, a total that should be much lower when the bills are added up for 2013. Open burning remains banned for the Southeast
Fire Centre region until as late as Sept. 20. Campfire bans were lifted Aug. 26 for the Kamloops and Coastal Fire Centre regions, and earlier in the month for the Northwest, Cariboo and Prince George regions as dry conditions were relieved. Despite public information campaigns and open
burning restrictions, provincial statistics continue to show about 40 per cent of wildfires are human caused, with most of the rest sparked by lightning. The relatively quiet fire season allowed B.C. to send crews to help battle wildfires in Washington, Montana and Idaho during August.

AŌer spending many years in Salmon Arm, avid seƩled in Vernon for 20 plus years unƟl his recent passing. avid will be lovingly remembered by his family. avid’s father Harry, predeceased, avid is survived by his loving mother Velma, 2 sisters Ͳ dhelma, Madžine (Gary), 3 brothers Ͳ ennis (>inda), Herb, Harry. My ͚senͲsate’ friend, ͚poet man’. My ͚ole pal’. avid, at Ɵmes a ͚social buƩerŇy’, at Ɵmes in a Ƌuiet corner, nose in a crossword. He oŌen would ͚emphasinje’ his knowledge of vocabulary, ũust to ͚trip’ people up. A man of many talents, although, very Ƌuiet about sharing them. We had the pleasure of witnessing many of them. From his construcƟng skills, sculpƟng, carving, gardening, canning, cooking, (he never did share the secret spice in his pasta dish, bugger͊) and of course, the obvious talent, his selfͲtaught rockabilly guitar playing. How he got those ͚cranjy Įngers’ to make guitar magic, was a treat to see and listen to. He had a great knowledge of arƟsts through the years and introduced us to Rockabilly music. A happy, funͲloving, style of music which was his ͚signature’. He had a great ear for music and could play the tune in an instant. avid was very thorough and detailed in all that he did, as shown through his profession as an RV dechnician, and gave that ͚personal touch’, which is a rarity in services nowadays. A gentle soul, willing to help anyone in any way he knew how. He loved to laugh, make others laugh, and a disƟnct ͚chuckle’ he had. He appreciated so much, even from the subtlest of gestures, and had such a respect for all. A man of ͚9 lives’, through some ͚hairy’ incidents as well as health issues over the years, which became edžhausƟng in his last days. dhe night of his passing, avid played his heart out, literally. Kur dear friend, we missed your guitar magic that night, your ͚entry’ to departure.

Guaranteed Lowest Prices *Applies only to our major supermarket competitors’ print advertisements (i.e. flyer, newspaper). We will match the competitor’s advertised price only during the effective date of the competitor’s print advertisement. Our major supermarket competitors are determined solely by us and are based on a number of factors which can change from time to time. Identical items are defined as same brand, item type (in the case of produce, meat and bakery), size and attributes and carried at this store location. We will not match competitors’ “multi-buys” (eg. 2 for $4), “spend x get x”, “Free”, “clearance”, discounts obtained through loyalty programs, or offers related to our third party operations (post office, gas bars, dry cleaners etc.). We reserve the right to cancel or change the terms of this promise at any time.

We Match Prices! *Look for the symbol in store. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITES (note that our major supermarket competitors may not). Due to the fact that product is ordered prior to the time of our Ad Match checks, quantities may be limited. We match select items in our major supermarket competitors’ flyers throughout the week. Major supermarket competitors are determined solely by us based on a number of factors which can vary by store location. We match identical items (defined as same brand, size, and attributes) and for fresh produce, meat and bakers, we match a comparable item (as determined solely by us).
