Vernon RCMP and the coroner continue to investigate Sunday morning’s pedestrian fatality on Highway 97 at the bottom of Hospital Hill. A 33-year-old Vernon woman, whose name has not been released, was killed after she was struck by a northbound semi tractor trailer unit shortly after 11 a.m. “I anticipate probably within the next day or so, this investigation will be turned over to the coroner,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk Monday morning.

The woman was not in the crosswalk at the intersection of 32nd Street and 25th Avenue, but was up the hill a short distance from the crosswalk when she was struck by the truck. She had been on the Polson Park side of the highway. “We’re still following up, and still talking to witnesses of this tragedy,” said Molendyk.

O’Keefe open to question on governance roger knox Morning Star Staff

Mary-Jo O’Keefe thinks the question should be asked. The Vernon councillor was responding to a petition launched by the Society for the Future Governance of Greater Vernon. The group has started a website to gather citizens’ signatures with a goal of having a question of whether or not a single local government would be more efficient and make better use of tax dollars. President Bruce Shepherd said the society has members from Vernon, Coldstream, and regional district electoral areas B and C, and they want to collect signatures from a significant amount of registered voters in each of the areas to demonstrate to local and provincial politicians that citizens want to know the best model for an efficient local governance system. “I think it’s time the province reviewed it,” said O’Keefe Monday. “I don’t know that I think we, as a district, Greater Vernon or area, are really the most efficient, effective government this area can have.”

“Our governance is ineffective.” — O’Keefe

O’Keefe, in the midst of her second term as a Vernon councillor, points to what the Vernon Public Art Gallery and Greater Vernon Museum have had to endure to go to referendum on new facilities for both organizations. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee (GVAC) voted, by a margin of 5-2, to proceed to a spring 2014 referendum to borrow funds for a new art gallery and museum. “Their request was always just to go to referendum, ask the people,” said O’Keefe. “That process was they came to RDNO (Regional District of North Okanagan), RDNO referred them to GVAC. GVAC referred them back to RDNO, RDNO referred them back to GVAC.

The process took two years. That can’t be efficient.” City of Vernon and District of Coldstream GVAC members supported the referendum. Opposition came from electoral area directors. O’Keefe said such results play a role in local governance frustration for both politicians and the public. “I think there’s some sort of parochial fears that the larger district will take advantage of the smaller ones, though I don’t think there’s been any demonstration of that at all,” she said. “There is that fear there. As a result, our governance is ineffective. I think we make it very hard for people to do business with us.” Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky said the society’s goal is a healthy one, and gets the community involved in discussions and debate. That, however, would be as far as the mayor would comment. “Anything I would say could easily be misconstrued because I have a role in the government as it is, and I don’t think it would

be useful at this point for me to comment,” said Sawatzky. Sawatzky did, however, dispute the society’s claim that the recent KPMG core services review for the city recommended that the highest potential to improve efficiency and reduce costs for local governance was amalgamation. “What the core services review did was they had recommendations for opportunities,” said Sawatzky. “They did not say that (amalgamation) clearly would be cheaper.” Asked by a reporter if squabbling and infighting amongst councils and regional district has diminished, Sawatzky agreed. “If you spoke to people that have been there before in local governance, that’s certainly what we hear from them,” said Sawatzky. “That things are much more productive and moving forward in ways that have never happened before.” More information on the society’s goal can be found at its website, www.greatervernongovernance.ca.

Coldstream councillors respond to petition The resurrection of the ‘A’ word (amalgamation) has sparked varied response in Coldstream. “My first thought was, ‘oh gosh, here we go again,’” said Coun. Maria Besso of the online petition to target a referendum on a single local government by the Society for the Future Governance of Greater Vernon. “It has never been in the interest of Coldstream taxpayers to amalgamate.” Coun. Richard Enns adds: “Every Coldstream resident I’ve talked to is opposed to it. I think people feel that their local government is a good one and it’s very sensitive.” A long-time opponent to amalgamation, Coun. Gyula Kiss says Coldstream residents will not be happy about having taxes increased,

a limited access council and services altered, and possible cuts. “The people that live here are quite happy with the service we provide,” said Kiss. While he says there’s nothing wrong with debate, Mayor Jim Garlick feels amalgamation of Vernon, Coldstream and the electoral areas isn’t a viable option for the region. “I think what we have is good and once you get educated you understand it.” Garlick also points out that the area politicians have already done a lot of work to streamline many services, such as water and parks, recreation and culture. Coun. Peter McClean supports the initiative to bring healthy discussion forward. “I think it has its merits. It may

be a small interest group right now but they are bringing it forward to the public. “We will see where the public really sits.” But if a single governance does go through, McClean wants to see a ward system with representation from all areas on the new council, based on area populations. Coun. Doug Dirk also sees nothing wrong with the discussion, but when it comes to the spending of current local governments, he says much of those decisions come from the taxpayers. “Things like increased costs, a good portion of things taxpayers voted on,” said Dirk, pointing to the Coldstream fire hall, public works yard, sports complex. Pointing to figures from the Canadian Federation of Independent

Business, Besso notes that the district already has some of the lowest spending per capita. “If Coldstream thinks it can save money they should think again,” said Besso, who would like to see more data-driven discussion. Speaking from experience as an Area A landowner who has endured increased taxes but no noticeable increase in services, Enns foresees the same thing happening to Coldstream if a single government is formed. “I just don’t think amalgamation is going to solve the problems that petitioners think it will solve.” The prospect of a 2014 referendum (if enough signatures are collected) is also being questioned. “Any one area, if they voted against it, shuts it all down,” said Garlick. Enns also has concerns that another referendum could compli-

The evidence against the Vernon man was apparently overwhelming. Vernon RCMP received notice at 1:40 a.m. on Sept. 2 of a bait car activation. While the suspect did not steal the car at the time, the video from the bait car was retrieved and a suspect could be seen removing items from the interior of

Unit, interviewed, and, when confronted with the video evidence, the 22-yearold man confessed to the theft. He was released to appear in court at a later date. “The bait car program has been very useful throughout the province in reducing theft from vehicles as well as theft of vehicles and now boats, ATVs and bikes,” said Molendyk. “Would-be

thieves should be aware that at any given day, the bait car and program is in effect in our area. It might not just be a vehicle that could catch you.” In the past year, there has been more than 150 fewer reports of thefts from vehicles in the Vernon area. From Jan. 1 to Sept. 6, 2012, there had been 579 reports (one more than the same time frame in 2012).

But in 2013, over that same nine-month period, reports dropped to 438.

The bike was located and it had been repainted to attempt to hide the identity of it. “The owner got his bike back though with a pretty poor paint job I’m told,” said Molendyk. The file is still under investigation to determine if charges will be laid.

The City of Vernon will fund water hookup for some Okanagan Landing residents on a one-time basis. And the city hopes to work together with the Regional District of North Okanagan in regards to the long-term debt of the utility. RDNO gave the city its approval last week to expand Greater Vernon water lines to Adventure Bay while sewer services are currently being built. Forty properties are without potable water after the private water utility that services the properties failed. “The costs for 400 meters of pipe and associated services would be around $464,000,” said City of Vernon financial technician Greg Thompson. “With 40 parcels sharing on an equal basis, that would be $11,600. If they opt for a parcel tax over 15 years, the cost would be $1,100 per year.” Funding would come from a couple of City of Vernon sources, said Thompson. The cost to repair the private water system is estimated at between $150,000 and $200,000. Attempts to rebuild the system have failed. Thompson said the request is not a takeover of the private utility, but a request to hookup to Greater Vernon water. The utility’s debt is $4.5 million, which has raised concerns. “For clarity, this is really a Greater Vernon water extension to an area where the residents are going to pay the whole costs themselves,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. “The question is who’s going to carry the long-term debt.” The city has asked RDNO to use its best and reasonable efforts to assume the long-term debt for the water service extension. “There’s a full commitment to cooperation from RDNO,” said Coun. Patrick Nicol, who is also chairperson of the RDNO board. Work will begin immediately with the current sewer project underway to the same properties. Completion is expected in a couple of months.

In a press release issued Friday evening, the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C. revealed the 36-year-old West Kelowna resident had been arrested in late August and is likely facing “a variety of explosives-related charges,” although he was not named in the release. According to Kelowna RCMP spokesman Const. Kris Clark, the specialized unit, which serves as the provincial antigang agency, assumed responsibility for the case as soon as the tip came in, only drawing on local RCMP to assist in the arrest.

While it is unknown what the motive is, investigators are exploring the extent of his connections to gang activity. They do not know if any devices made by this man have been used in criminal acts, the release states. “This investigation is not in any way associated to national security and there is absolutely no indication or information to support that the investigation has any links to terrorism or extremism,” the release stated.

Partners powerful for water board Morning Star Staff

The importance of partnerships highlighted the Okanagan Basin Water Board’s annual meeting in Kelowna. As the Okanagan faces increasing challenges to its water supply – with aging infrastructure and stronger rainstorms, a growing population and increasing demand for water, uncertain water supplies due to climate change and drought, potential for invasive species – partnerships will be critical in addressing these issues. “It’s through collaboration that we have done the science to understand what we’re facing, and it’s through working with others that we need to develop and implement the strategies to make sure our communities are prepared,” noted OBWB executive director Anna Warwick Sears. Fittingly, the agency released its annual

According to Bob Sandford, an internationally respected expert on water and climate policy, the Okanagan is wellpositioned to address the issues it’s facing. Sandford was this year’s special guest speaker and is EPCOR Chair of the Canadian Partnership Initiative in support of the UN’s “Water for Life” Decade. Sandford, a resident of Canmore, told his own personal story about the impact of the floods in Alberta this past June – the impact to him, his friends and neighbours, and a sister who lost her home and everything in it. “The extreme weather patterns we are seeing globally – extreme rain, and extreme drought – is the new reality,” he

Regional real estate enjoys upswing Morning Star Staff

Real estate activity has experienced a boost in the North Okanagan. In August, there were overall sales of 181 units, up 21.5 per cent from 149 units during the same month in 2012. There were 165 residential sales last month, up 22.2 per cent from 135 last year. This was the strongest August since 2007 (226). “Mirroring the upward trend in home buying activity and steady year-overyear increase in sales throughout the province since March, total residential unit sales for the Okanagan-Shuswap during August showed the best numbers for the month since 2007,” says Karen Singbeil, Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board president. “While some segments in our board area are seeing a turnaround in consumer demand compared to last year at this time, the current unit sales are merely back to the 10-year average show-

A lack of commitment

ou get a sense that culture is not a personal priority for Greater Vernon politicians. After all, they jumped through hoops to move residents towards a sports complex referendum, but any time talk of an art gallery and museum arises, roadblocks are thrown up. And that certainly was the case last week when the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee voted to proceed to a spring 2014 referendum to borrow funds for cultural facilities. Instead of being positive and rallying behind the hard-working folks at the gallery and museum, there was a lot of negativity. “Until I get more information, I’m not participating,” said director Mike Macnabb, who voted against the motion. Director Bob Fleming Richard Rolke also raised his hand in opposition. “There’s a lot of work that needs to be done and hasn’t been done,” he said. Most of their comments surrounded the lack of a firm construction cost, although $17 million has been bandied about. There are also questions about long-term operating expenses. These are valid concerns obviously and taxpayers’ interests must be considered, but it’s important to know that those committee members agreeing to go to referendum in the spring weren’t signing a blank cheque. Between now and the legislative requirement to establish a firm referendum question, cost details will be firmed up. There is also still the option that the entire process could be shelved if the politicians aren’t satisfied with the financial picture. Macnabb and Fleming frequently commented that they have little information about the plans for an art gallery and museum and that

the process has been rushed. But that is difficult to accept given the numerous presentations that both groups have given over the years, and particularly in the last year as the reality of their cramped and inadequate quarters become more obvious. “There’s been 10 years of various options. Ten years or more is not rushing,” said director Rob Sawatzky. But while a majority of committee members backed going to referendum, they still created some major hurdles for the cultural advocates. The museum and art gallery will have to come up with $50,000, the difference between holding a stand-alone referendum in the spring and combining a vote with November 2014’s civic election. This action has raised a few eyebrows. “The sports complex referendum costs were covered by (GVAC),” said Dauna Kennedy Grant, Vernon Public Art Gallery executive director. GVAC’s explanation is that it determined the timing of the sports complex referendum whereas the museum and art gallery are dictating when they go to the polls, so they should bear any additional expenses. Fair enough, but GVAC didn’t have to abide by those wishes and directors could have forced the vote to November. Also, the $50,000 will undermine the museum and art gallery’s ability to raise public awareness about the need for new facilities. More importantly, though, the politicians will be the ones asking taxpayers to borrow funds so they directly own the process. Downloading referendum expenses on to the two groups is a smokescreen and indicates that official support for culture is on shallow ground. Given the apparent lack of commitment politically, it’s difficult to know what the final outcome will be.

RCMP officers just love it when the bad guys take the bait. In this case, we’re talking the bait car. But criminals have also been known to take the bait boat, bait ATV, bait snowmobile, and bait bicycle. The bait car program – which has been expanded by police officials to include other modes of transportation such as boats, snowmobiles, bikes and ATVs – has been a tremendous help in reducing crime statistics province-wide. Police detachments such as Vernon-North Okanagan that operate the bait car program will park the vehicle at a location and wait. The car is equipped with devices that alert RCMP when it is being entered. Sometimes articles left inside the car are stolen. Other times, the car itself is taken. Inside the car is a camera that helps police and their partners identify would-be thieves. Police also have the ability to shut down the car if it’s being driven away. This year, there have been 438 reports of thefts from vehicles in the North Okanagan between January and September. That’s a drop of 141 reports from the same time frame in 2012. While the bait car program is a big part of that, the local detachment also credits its commitment to crime reduction, targeting prolific offenders such as those who steal often from vehicles with helping reduce the crime statistics. “We have a team of dedicated officers that are looking at prolific offenders,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperon Gord Molendyk. “We know there are a number of individuals in our communities that continue to do the majority of the crimes.” It’s always a plus to see local crime numbers going down.

Resolution sparks call for research

n open letter to regional government councillors: With the upcoming Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, it has come to my attention that there is a resolution on the agenda calling for the banning of importing, exporting and/or the growing of plants or seeds containing genetically engineered DNA. Before you consider supporting this resolution, I would like to bring your attention to a number of facts: n GMO crops such as corn, canola and soybean have been through a rigorous Health Canada scrutinized food safety process that ensures the nutritional make-up is equal to that of the original plants. They also assure that no toxins or allergens have been introduced. Health Canada also collaborates with CFIA for environmental safety, ensuring the new plant is not at risk of becoming a plant pest, that new traits cannot be transferred to other plants, and to assess their potential impact on biodiversity. The trials and scrutiny of these crops was extended over a 10 to 15 year period prior to the crops becoming commercially available. spraying upsetting Being a Cherryville water steward, I feel compelled to alert the public of an event that took place at the Sugar Lake dam Aug. 15. The gates were locked and a "Notice of Herbicide Use" sign was posted. The notice said, "Treatment is necessary to provide worker and public safety, prevent fires and contribute to the safe and reliable supply of electricity to B.C. Hydro customers." I had to go and investigate since knapweed was the culprit they were after and I wanted to see how bad the infestation was. I found less than 20 plants in the area and two-thirds of them were still alive. But it was very obvious where huckleberry bushes and clover didn't survive the dousing, so it seems they weren't spraying in a site-specific manner either. And as far as spraying down the bank, doesn't B.C. Hydro have to adhere to the riparian regulations that were enacted to protect our fish habitat, let alone all of the swimmers

n GMO crops have been grown in Canada for the past 15 years. Their acceptance by the farming community is wide spread. For example, Stats Canada reports that canola is grown by more than 43,000 farms on more than 19 million acres producing 14.7 million tonnes annually. This includes the Peace River area of B.C. where this cold weather crop is a valuable ingredient in their crop rotations. According to the Canola Council of Canada, the growing of canola shows an economic impact to the Canadian economy of $15.4 billion,

that spend their time there? The noxious weeds that were there could have been pulled in less than an hour and had Hydro alerted the community and the water stewards, we would have pulled them out by hand at half the price they paid to do it chemically. We would have also had the opportunity to voice our objections to this process . Adding insult to injury, The Morning Star published an article from B.C. Hydro Aug. 16 headlined, "Hydro offers Reservoir Safety Tips." The article was basically encouraging the public to visit these sites while they still reeked of what I consider to be a very toxic poison. My question is, where is the Ministry of Environment, Interior Health and all of the other governing bodies that are supposedly here to protect us, the birds, insects, animals, and fish from these type of events? Is B.C. Hydro exempt from the rules? Whatever the answer is, I personally am outraged that ordinary

which includes an estimated $8.2 billion in wages to 230,000 people including seed suppliers, farmers, crushers and exporters, with the bulk of these jobs being rural. n Corn is grown on 1.5 million acres for grain with as much again for silage. Soybeans on 4.5 million acres. It is common knowledge that 90 per cent of canola, 80 per cent of corn and 65 per cent of soya is considered GMO because they contain a gene that makes them resistant to a non-selective herbicide called glyphosate, allowing for single spray weed control.

citizens have to be watchdogs and spend endless hours to try and protect an area that they want to call home from a continuous onslaught of environmental degradation. The Hydro article ended by writing, "To learn more about how to be safe around the water visit bchydro. com." To end my letter, I would suggest B.C. Hydro learn how to keep us, the animals and the water safe from them. Carla Vierke eLeCtion reforms Re: “Civic election reforms welcome." New Democrats welcome proposed changes that would see greater transparency in municipal elections by banning anonymous donations. In fact, these are changes for which we have been advocating for many years. The government first considered these measures in 2010, as recommended by a joint task force with the

The bulk of these acres are on the Prairies and in Ontario, but corn for silage and foundation canola seed are common crops in the North Okanagan-Shuswap. n Conventional agriculture has coexisted with organic agriculture since organics became a marketing tool recognized as local produce. I see no reason why the two types of farming cannot continue side by side. It does not need to be all of one or the other. n Because these crops are federally registered, licensed and approved, a regional or provincial ban would be ineffective, impossible to administrate and would disadvantage farmers currently growing these crops in competition with Alberta, Saskatchewan and the U.S. It is my sincere hope that the councillors attending the UBCM convention will research this topic and speak with a variety of farmers about the benefits and cautions of growing GMO crops. It’s important to give serious consideration to the fact that this resolution is a direct threat to the stability of our provincial agricultural economy. Lorne Hunter

Since then, the government has delayed for years, only to make the same mistake again, with the changes due to be introduced in spring 2014, six months before the local elections. We are disappointed with both this long delay and the further delay of accompanying legislation limiting campaign spending, which should have been introduced alongside these new measures. Municipalities will wait another three years to see these caps implemented, for a total delay of nearly seven years.

POWERHOUSE THEATRE ARCHIVES

A theatre for 50 seasons

Vernon’s Powerhouse Theatre celebrates five decades of entertaining the community with an exciting season KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff

Six years before the summer of love, a group of actors, directors, writers and community builders, all of whom loved the stage, would come together to build a new theatre in Vernon. That’s when Vernon Little Theatre moved into its new home, an old, abandoned power station turned warehouse that would become one of the city’s gems. After careful planning and extensive renovation, the curtain would rise Nov. 23, 1963 with a gala performance of Jean Giraudoux’s The Mad Woman of Chaillot, directed by one of the theatre’s founding members, Paddy Malcolm. The theatre society and building would eventually become known as Powerhouse Theatre and for the past five decades, the curtain has continued to rise on community theatre productions that have made patrons smile, cry, laugh and sing along. About to host its 50th celebration with its current and past members this weekend, some of whom are coming from as far as England, Powerhouse’s colourful history is detailed in a new book. “The book relays the theatre’s history starting in 1963 and goes right to the present,” said Powerhouse’s current business manager, marketing and publicity director Barb Keith. “We are so grateful in the theatre to have Lorraine Allum, our archivist, who gathered many of the photos for the book; some of which are being displayed on the walls inside the theatre, as well as to our 50th anniversary committee

Lorraine Allum, Powerhouse Theatre archivist, left, Barb Keith, director of marketing and publicity and business manager, and Joan Karstensen, co-chair of the 50th anniversary committee, hold the theatre’s newly released book, commemorating its golden anniversary. co-chairs Kristine Larsen and Joan Karstensen who did a lot of the work.” Designed and printed by Wayside Press, with financial support from local businesses and sponsors, the book features original photos dating back to the theatre’s beginnings as well as a “playbill” of all the productions Powerhouse has staged since it opened. The book also includes two DVDs, one made by Randy Jones celebrating Powerhouse’s 40th anniversary, and the other by Powerhouse lifetime member David Jones, and edited by Jim Elderton, about the most recent renovations done to the theatre. The books will be available for purchase by the public after Saturday’s invite-only event in Powerhouse’s lobby during show runs and can also be ordered by emailing powerhouse50@shaw.ca. “We will also do special events with prizes at our opening nights to celebrate our

50th,” said Keith. Besides the reunion party, Powerhouse is celebrating its long history the best way it knows how — by staging a show for just about every age and taste for its 2013-14 season. “We have a murder mystery, a rock musical and a comedy,” said Keith.“It’s a season to celebrate with something for everyone.” Stanley Bruhl’s Deathtrap, directed by Jackson Mace, opens the season in November, followed by a musical mid-season in February sure to please the kid in everyone. Ten years ago, for its 40th anniversary, Powerhouse staged Peter Pan as its big musical, directed by founding member Mary Huggins, and this year the theatre should expect another full house for its presentation of the rock musical about that man-eating plant, Little Shop of Horrors. The show is being directed by Lana O’Brien, W.L. Seaton Secondary School

drama teacher, who is familiar with the source material as she directed Little Shop at Seaton back in 2002. The season closes in April with the rollicking comedy, A Flea in Her Ear, directed by Monty Hughes, which was last staged for Powerhouse’s 10th anniversary in 1973. The Powerhouse board of directors have also made some changes to its schedule times this year. “We developed a page on our website for feedback, and people wanted our times to start earlier, so all evening plays will now begin at 7:30 p.m. instead of 8 p.m., and we have also added a matinée to the Saturday performance along with the Sunday matinée,” said Keith. The theatre has also come up with a way to appease its older and supportive members with something called the Schubert Connection, where patrons can pick up season’s tickets for all three matinée performances (either Saturday or Sunday). The package also includes a round-trip bus service from Schubert to Powerhouse. “After 50 years, we noticed lots of retirees of the theatre give up their season tickets,” said Keith. “This is a way to give back to the community and we are very excited and hope seniors, or those who can’t make evening performances, take advantage of this.” Those interested don’t have to be a member or a resident of the Schubert Centre – anyone living in the area can purchase the package. Tickets are available at the Ticket Seller, and will be made available for pick up at the Schubert Centre. Powerhouse has also made improvements for those hard-of-hearing patrons, who are being accommodated with a new Phonak system, which has been paid for and donated by the Kalamalka Rotary Club. The public can get in on Powerhouse’s 50th season by ordering season tickets or individual tickets to all shows at the Ticket Seller in the Vernon Performing Arts Centre.

Make it a movie night Morning Star Staff

Prospera Cinema Under the Stars is back with its Vernon movie night, Saturday in Polson Park. Prospera Credit Union invites families to join them for a free evening of family entertainment on a gigantic three-storey screen. In co-operation with Fresh Air Cinema, Prospera will be screening Monsters University, featuring those lovable monsters, Mike and Sully, from Monsters Inc., and how they first met at university. Prospera will be accepting donations on behalf of its charity partner, Habitat for Humanity. There will also be a bouncy castle and a chance to meet “Prosbeara” before the show. “We’ve had a great response to our Prospera Cinema Under the Stars program from the communities we serve, with many families telling us how much they enjoy our free movie nights. Even the teenagers love to come out and bring along their friends, so it really is fun for the whole family,” said Bruce Howell, president and CEO of Prospera Credit Union. “At the same time, by partnering with local non-profit groups, we are able to give some very worthwhile charities the opportunity to raise money and aware-

Tracy Rowe takes her vehicle to the street for a spin.

Jason Rowe spray-paints a plastic model body to build a vehicle for the Vernon RC (Radio-Controlled) Club. The club is planning a demonstration this fall, and new members of all ages are welcome to join now.

Tuned in and ready to race Cara Brady

Morning Star Staff

The monster trucks and custom cars hit the road at top speed with the drivers controlling them with the slightest movement of a finger. Radio-controlled model vehicles let racing enthusiasts of any age enjoy the sport. “Our youngest member is five. It’s a great family activity,” said Jason Rowe, of the Vernon RC (Radio-Controlled) Club. “I got into it about five years ago when my buddy bought

one. They’re fast, big and loud and a lot of fun. I’m visually impaired so if I can do it, anyone can do it.” The vehicles — models of standard racing cars and trucks, or customized models — run on battery or methane fuel engines and are “driven” with a pistol grip remote control. The most powerful models can go more than 100 miles per hour. Rowe and his wife, Tracy Rowe, build their own vehicles, from painting the bodies — he

does the spray painting and she does the details — to putting in the engines. Their current favourites are a Traxxas Revo truck and a Savage fourwheel drive. He’s looking for a Tamiya Ford F350 High Lift. “It’s fun making the models and the racing. I call these the big boy toys but there are quite a few women involved too,” said Tracy. People who want to get started in the sport right away can buy ready-to-go vehicles for under $500.

“You can get what you need at Lester’s Hobby. It’s a local store and I like to deal locally,” said Jason. “We would like people to know the club is here and they can come out and meet people who enjoy the sport and maybe join in. “We want to set up some races and have a demonstration to let people know more about it this fall. It’s a great way to get out and have fun.” For more information about the Vernon RC Club, call Jason at 250-938-1450.

Floating lanterns will celebrate the rivers Morning Star Staff

As the days get shorter and the geese begin to practise their formations, World Rivers Day is just around the corner. This year the international event to celebrate the world’s rivers will take place Sept. 29. Last year’s Rivers Day events concluded with a Floating Lantern Celebration at dusk. These 200 lanterns were made by dozens of individuals at 20 lanternmaking workshops in the days and weeks leading up to the event. The Floating Lantern Celebration in 2012 was part of Runaway Moon Theatre’s Calendario project and Cathy Stubington, Runaway Moon’s artistic director, organized and led 15 of those workshops.

This year, Runaway Moon and the Lower Shuswap Stewardship Society (LSSS) would like to collaborate with other community groups, businesses and individuals with the intention of making this popular event an ongoing part of Enderby’s Rivers Day celebrations. “We would like to suggest that existing groups get together to make lanterns for the event,” said Jean Clark, with the LSSS. “If you made a lantern last year, please share your skills.” Community groups, businesses and individuals are invited to attend a “train the trainer” workshop Saturday at the Enderby Chamber of Commerce from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Participants will be

asked to take the lantern-making skills they learn back to their friends, neighbours or community associations to share what they have learned by hosting their own workshop. Materials will be provided. Pre-registration would be appreciated by e-mailing lowershuswap@gmail.com “Our theme again is Calendario, a recognition of the events in nature around us that signal the passage of time,” said Clark. “Activities of birds and animals, the blossoming of flowers, the ripening of fruit and vegetables, the changes in the movement and level of water in the river, the lengthening and shortening of the light — we look forward to seeing what people come up with!”

Make some spicy gifts

he other day I was wandering around a mall and was astonished to see some Christmas stuff out already! Wow, so early? But then I got to thinking about it, and if you’re into making homemade canned gifts, now is the time to give it more than a thought. For instance, I like making pepper jellies, antipasto, salsas, chutneys, and smoked salmon to add to family gift packages, and if I don’t do it now, when? Now is the time when peppers and vegetables are in abundance so let’s get at it. I’ll start with pepper jellies and Cathi Litzenberger will share a couple of good recipes today. Hot jellies are perfect served with cream cheese on any kind of cracker because the fat molecules in the cream cheese absorb the hot capsaicin of the jalapenos, reducing the heat, but leaving the flavour of the chilies. They also add nice flavour to marinades and basting glazes. The jalapeno chilies I used for these batches were fairly large. Always remember to wear rubber disposable gloves when working with any hot peppers. It’s amazing how HOT the oil from these peppers can be. The first batch I made, I didn’t wear gloves and my fingers and hands burned for nearly four hours (not to mention you can’t touch ANY parts of your body or you will burn there, too). I could not wash the stuff off and even the next day, my fingers were sensitive to hot water. Just a warning! Spicy Red-peppeR Jelly 3/4 cup chopped red habanero (or other hot red pepper) 1 red bell pepper, remove stem and seeds 1-1/2 cups white vinegar 6 cups sugar 8 ounces liquid Certo (2 packets) 1 teaspoon red food colouring Put on rubber gloves to remove stems from hot red peppers. Roughly chop (seeds and all) and put in blender with vinegar. Chop red bell pepper roughly. Place in blender with vinegar. Blend well until small pieces remain. Pour into large stainless steel pot. Add sugar and mix well. Bring mixture to a rolling boil and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, strain through sieve and return liquid back to pot. Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add Certo and food colouring quickly.

kitchen wit & wisdom

Put into 6 (1/2 pint) jars and seal. Seal with the hot water bath method. To do this, put into a large boiler with rack on bottom, cover with 1-2 inches of water and boil for 5 minutes. Remove to rack to cool. NOTE: You can add finely chopped peppers to each jar prior to sealing, if desired. Jalapeno peppeR Jelly 13 Jalapeno chili peppers, 4 whole and 9 seeded 2 medium or 1 large bell pepper (either red, yellow, or orange pepper) 1-1/2 cups of vinegar (white or cider) 1/3 cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice 6 cups granulated sugar 4 ounces liquid pectin (Certo Liquid Pectin ONLY, other brands do not work well; see Comment #4 below) Food colouring (green or red), optional Slip on rubber gloves before handling hot peppers. Remove stems from all 13 jalapenos; discard stems. Leave 4 jalapenos whole and remove seeds from the other 9 jalapenos. Chop the 4 WHOLE jalapenos very fine or purée in blender, then add remainder of the seeded jalapenos; chop medium to fine. Remove stems and seeds from bell peppers; add to blender. Add vinegar to blender to help chop and mix together. Purée until coarsely ground and small chunks remain. In a large non-reactive pot over medium-high heat, add blended pepper mixture; bring to a hard boil. BOIL FOR A FULL 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and granulated sugar. Place back on medium-high heat and bring back to a hard boil. Add liquid pectin and food colouring; again bring back to a HARD BOIL for ONE FULL MINUTE. Skim off any foam (scum) that develops with a spoon. Remove from heat. Have hot sterile 1/2-pint jars and lids ready. Carefully and quickly strain hot jelly into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Add some of the chopped peppers if desired for more colour; mix in jars with spoon or fork. Wipe any spilled jelly from jar rims. Centre lids on top of jars and tighten screw bands securely, but not as tightly as possible. Place in hot water canner and boil for 5 minutes. Remove; allow to cool. Test seal, after cooling, with finger. If middle pops up when pressed, jar is not sealed. Enjoy with cream cheese on your favourite cracker.

Teacher offers meditation retreat Morning Star Staff

When Satyama Lasby opened a spiritual retreat business two years ago in Vernon, she knew that the spiritual teachings and meditation she had been studying in India were a continuation of the life journey she was on. She also knew that giving, without expectation of reward, was part of why she opened her company, Open to Bliss. Lasby teaches workshops and retreats in yoga, tantra and meditation. She also does bodywork sessions such as lomi lomi massage, cranial sacral therapy and thai yoga massage as part of her Vernon business. Every fall, Lasby offers one meditation retreat at Johnson’s Landing Retreat Centre in the West Kootenays by dana. “By dana means generosity in the Sanskrit language and also in Buddhist practices and it’s something I feel is my life purpose,” said Lasby, adding that she wishes to

share in the teachings of meditation because it changed her own life drastically, for the better. Lasby has been a yoga teacher for 12 years. She also managed the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce while teaching yoga and went heavily into her discovery of meditation at that time. When she decided to leave her job, she studied full-time at ashrams in India and Costa Rica for two years. It was there that she found the meditations and teachings of Osho Rajneesh, the famous meditation guru. Starting Thursday and running until Sunday, Lasby will host an Osho meditation retreat at Johnson’s Landing. “This uniquely designed meditation retreat will intensify and perhaps even change your experience with meditation by involving sound, breath, movement and the emotional body on several levels.”

Participants are invited to break down inhibitions and open into heightened states of awareness and bliss through Osho’s coveted Dynamic, Kundalini, Nadhabrahma and Chakra Sounds meditations. Along with these core meditations, times in silence as well as facilitated experiments in human and social meditative experiences will also be explored, with the intention of knowing and accepting all elements of ourselves having a unique human experience. “This retreat is like no other; there must be a desire to go deeply into meditation, in totality; to break open, surrender, to trust me. Of course, there will be dancing.” There is a fee of $120 paid to the retreat centre, and accommodations and meals are extra; the teachings are by donation to Lasby. To register, see www.opentobliss. com or call 250-938-8632 or www. johnsonslandingretreat.bc.ca.

Don’t Let Your Windows Leave You In A Fog Dirty Foggy Windows

Many homes built between the late 70s and the early 90s experience sealed unit failure. Unit failure leads to condensation forming between the two layers of glass causing them to steam and fog up.

Is There a Solution?

Yes, the only real solution is to replace the sealed unit. You only need to replace the glass not the frame which means it can be done easily with a minimum amount of disruption.

Call our office at 250-542-9966 to arrange for a no obligation estimate to suit your schedule.

Activity Horoscope By Bernice Bede OsOl

Communication will be the key to meeting new acquaintances and learning new skills in the coming months. Don’t let a personal matter stand between you and your goals. Don’t limit what you can do or stop short of success. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A break will do you good and help you rethink your approach to life. Altering your living arrangements will be emotional but ultimately beneficial.

how to play: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: You must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box. 120104 2

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Avoid high-pressure situations today. Appeal to the emotional side of anyone making unreasonable demands. Review your relationships and make adjustments to the connections that are standing in the way of your progress. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Make your home more efficient and compatible with your lifestyle. A change of plans can be used to your advantage, but you must be prepared to roll with the punches. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Use your energy wisely. Take advantage of any chance you get to increase your worth. You can cut corners at home by setting a strict budget. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Love, romance and adventure should be included on your to-do list. Broaden your outlook, explore new places and indulge in events or activities that you find motivational. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Let your emotions take over when it comes to dealing with a domestic situation. Don’t be stingy with your take on matters. A new source of income encourage you. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Get out and get involved today. Meeting with people interested in unusual activities or hobbies will enrich your life. Romance should highlight your day. ARIES (March 21-April 19) There’s no need to act with undue haste. You have more options than you realize, so take a moment to examine the pros and cons before taking action. Moderation should be a factor in your decision.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Aggressive action will get the job done but also create opposition. It might be a good idea to work secretively until you have everything in place. It may take longer, but you will avoid discord. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Call in favors and you will get a job done quickly, enabling you to do something enjoyable later on. If you let those who helped you in on the fun, you’ll develop a powerful support network. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Strive for excellence in whatever you pursue. If you get outside your comfort zone, you could learn some valuable information. Question what isn’t working in your life and prepare to make changes. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Don’t leave anything to chance. Make moves that are unusual and unexpected, yet shrewd. Using the element of surprise in a competitive situation will give you the advantage.

Busy summer

hile the summer months are perfect for long, lazy days at Shuswap Lake, I have to admit I haven’t been able to enjoy too much vacation time! But I don’t mind being busy when it means great things are happening in our community. I was thrilled to see the government announce it will commit $3 million for the design and construction of a new bridge on Highway 97A over Hummingbird Creek. This is a much-needed improvement project for our community. It means increased safety and protection of the highway during high creek flows. Design is expected to be Greg Kyllo completed by next spring, with construction to follow later in 2014. As the bridge is being built, other measures will be put into place to ensure the highway continues to be a reliable route for the movement of people and goods. That reliability is key to sustaining economic growth and creating jobs across B.C. The project comes after much consultation with the Swansea Point community. I want to thank all of the local residents who gave their input throughout this process. I look forward to joining you in celebration when the bridge is built. In that spirit of welcoming your ideas and working together to build a better Shuswap community, I’m pleased to let you know that my new constituency office is coming along nicely. Renovations continue, and we are close to opening up our doors to you. Stay tuned for details. In the meantime, I encourage you to email me at Greg.Kyllo.MLA@leg.bc.ca until our phones are set up. Finally, I want to remind everyone to take extra caution on our roads as our students head back to school. Whether it be elementary, high school, or post-secondary studies I wish all of our young people success in the school year ahead. Greg Kyllo is MLA for the Shuswap constituency.

When asked which one of the children should be appointed as executor, we jokingly respond by stating that the client should pick the child they like the least! After all, being an executor is a miserable job. Aside from sometimes difficult to unravel assets, an executor, once started on the job of being an executor, cannot simply withdraw. An executor can be held personally liable for mistakes, unpaid taxes and the wrath of the family for not distributing the estate quickly enough to the beneficiaries’ taste. If I were to offer you a job where you were not certain of getting paid (taxable by the CRA, at that), be responsible for all liabilities, known and unknown and no idea how long this job would take, would you accept that job? I didn’t think so. Would you know how to minimize the tax implications of what you are doing? At Laarakker Law, Wills, Probates and Estate Planning is not just something we do; it is something we specialize in. After all, the legacy you leave behind is more important than what you leave behind.

People with disabilities in Armstrong are benefitting from improved accessibility in Kindale’s Bechtold Centre as a result of funding from the federal government. K i n d a l e Developmental Association received $22,660 for renovations to the Bechtold Centre through the Enabling Accessibility Fund. Renovations include concrete ramps and stairs, automatic door opening system, paint, lighting, flooring, and accessible kitchen. “Our government is proud to help people with disabilities gain better access to community facilities, programs and services,” said Colin Mayes, OkanaganShuswap MP. “We are dedicated to ensuring all Canadians have the opportunity to participate more fully in all our society has to offer.” “Kindale is pleased to have received this contribution from the Government of Canada. The renovations have made life so much easier for our individuals, volunteers, and staff,” said B Elliott, Kindale executive director. “The Bechtold Centre is now a more welcoming, comfortable, and safer space for community groups as well. We make the Centre available to community groups for evening and weekend use at a very nominal cost. Anyone who is interested should just call our office to enquire.” To continue to improve accessibility in facilities across Canada, including in workplaces, the federal government proposes in its Economic Action Plan 2013 to extend the Enabling Accessibility Fund on an ongoing basis at $15 million per year. K i n d a l e Developmental Association supports individuals with developmental and other disabilities in the North Okanagan Columbia Shuswap.

Vernon golfers tee up support for Mexican youth Morning Star Staff

where poor family incomes average $5,000 U.S. per year, most 14-year-olds leave school and get a menial job to help with the family income. It helps, but when they are 24 and have the same skills but have their own family, the cycle of rural poverty continues. “Because of what you have done, six kids won’t be picking berries tomorrow. They will be going to high school.”

Prospera Credit Union is celebrating 10 years in the Okanagan and wants the community to join in the festivities. Beginning Friday, there will be a celebration across the Okanagan with a party taking place every week – hosted by one of the four branches in support of a local charity. The Vernon branch kicks off the celebrations in support of Habitat for Humanity Friday. Each party will feature a barbecue, product specials, spin and win prizes and a passport game with a grand prize of $500 available to be won at each branch. “In 2003, our Prospera team was very excited to extend our credit union operations to serve the Okanagan community,” said President and CEO Bruce Howell. “In the 10 years since, we have put down roots, built strong relationships and grown our membership base to almost 12,000 and we con-

Vipers Showcase offensive talent Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Vipers will honour the past before they look to the future Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. Before they begin their run towards hosting the RBC Cup next May, the Vipers will recognize each of its national junior A hockey championship teams before their 7 p.m. home opener against the Salmon Arm SilverBacks. In a pregame celebration, a member from each of the six teams, including four past Viper /Laker captains – Duane Dennis (1990 Lakers), Terry Klapstein (‘91 Lakers), Brian Finch (‘96 Vipers), Lenny Rampone (‘99 Vipers), Chris Crowell (‘09 Vipers) and Kevin Kraus (‘ 10 Vipers) – will step out on the red carpet to watch the raising of the host banner for the RBC Cup. The Snakes enter the weekend having earned three of four points at the Bauer Showcase in Chilliwack. After outgunning the Surrey Eagles 7-3 in their season opener Saturday morning, the Vipers settled for a 1-1 draw with the Chilliwack Chiefs Sunday night. Vernon head coach Jason Williamson felt his team probably deserved the extra point as they outplayed the Chiefs most of the night, outshooting them 43-34. They didn’t give up a shot in the first eight minutes. “We let them hang around and when we put the pedal down they’re goalie (Lyndon Stanwood, formerly of the Trail Smoke Eaters) played well,” said Williamson. “He made some unbelievable saves, especially in the overtime. They barely touched the puck. “’We’d like to have four out of four (points), but it’s a good start. Up and down our lineup, everyone played well.” Demico Hannoun collected his second goal of the weekend against Chilliwack, burying the rebound off a Mason Blacklock shot just as a Vernon powerplay had expired. He was named second star behind Stanwood (42 saves). Jaret Babych, the son of former Vancouver Canuck d-man Dave Babych, was third star. Kurt Black had the Chiefs’ goal, curling through the high slot and going top-shelf, glove-side over Vernon goalie Austin Smith with seven minutes to play. Smith recorded 33 saves for the Vipers. Williamson said Hannoun’s first goal as a Viper, against Surrey, caught everyone by surprise. The North Delta native toe-dragged a defender on his off wing, and in one fluid movement, put a backbander short side past Eagles’ netminder Bo Didur. “He’s dangerous out there. A guy was right on him and he shot the puck before anybody knew what happened.” Williamson also said forward Michael McNicholas, who plays the point on the powerplay and also kills penalties, has been a pleasant surprise. The Manhattan Beach, Calif. product came to the Viper den, along with d-man Josh Bryan, from the Nanaimo Clippers in exchange for

Aaron Hadley. “I’m playing him in all situations and he’s been very good,” said Williamson. Leading Vernon’s offence against the Eagles with two goals apiece were second-year forward Dexter Dancs and Liam Coughlin (first star), a rookie pivot out of South Boston. The teams swapped goals until Vernon pocketed four straight snipes to put the game away in the third period. “We just took the game over,” said Williamson. Singles by Kootenay products Craig Martin and Dallas Calvin completed the Viper offence. Braedan Russell, who struggled through an injuryplagued rookie season with Vernon, haunted his old team with a deuce. Jonah Renouf (third star) had the Eagles’ other goal. Vernon veteran Brendan Persley earned a pair of assists

for second star, while Danny Todosychuk had 33 saves for the win. Didur had 27 stops for Surrey. Meanwhile, the SilverBacks went 0-1-1 in Chilliwack, falling 5-4 in overtime to the Victoria Grizzlies Saturday, and bowing 5-1 to the Powell River Kings Sunday. Vernon visits Salmon Arm Friday night at the Shaw Centre to open a weekend home-and-home. Given the office connections between the two teams, Williamson said the Snakes vs ‘Backs rivalry will be lively as ever. “We know they didn’t have the weekend they wanted, so you know they’re going to come out flyjng,” said Williamson. “It’s going to be an interesting weekend.” SNAKE BITES: Viper veteran forward Colton Sparrow will likely be out of the lineup for a few weeks as he suffered a separated shoulder against the Eagles...Williamson released forward Dean Allison Tuesday, and he plans to use Vernon product Mat Halvorson of the North Okanagan Knights as a call-up for his seventh d-man...Vernon product Alex Gillies bagged two goals in Salmon Arm’s OT loss to Victoria.

Smith fires up Heat Morning Star Staff

Michelle Smith (third year, Vernon) opened the UBC Okanagan scoring for the second straight game Sunday as the Heat iced the visiting Capilano Blues 2-0 in PacWest women’s soccer at Nonis Sports Field. After a huge save by Blues’ keeper Ariel Anderson in the 60th minute, a mad scramble formed and a frantic Anderson was helplessly bowled over in the chaos, leaving the net wide open for Smith. She put a light touch on the ball, and it sailed over the flattened Anderson for the Heat’s first goal. Taylor Sarchet (fifth year, Surrey) provided the insurance goal in the 70th minute on a 20-yard blast that wrapped around the right post. Do you want to PLAY DARTS? “It was a really good game overall,” said Heat head Vernon Pubmaster Darts is coach Claire Paterson. “I thought the team played getting ready for a new year. really well together and created tons of chances.” EVERYONE’s WELCOME A penalty-kick proved to be the difference for the to come out and play!

Bader ices Freeport Morning Star Staff

Vernon Kal Tire gave props to acrobatic keeper Chris Bader as they opened the Kelowna Men’s 35+ Soccer League playoffs with a 3-0 win over Freeport Industries Monday night in Rutland. Stopper Ryan Sharp pushed forward and took a feed from Tim Mcgowan before burying the first Tiremen snipe on a sweet one-timer. From there, fourth-place Vernon (11-6-1) struggled to find their form and made a few defensive blunders, forcing Bader to record a pair of marvellous breakaway saves. Kal Tire’s offence came alive with about 20 minutes remaining. Fresh off a healthy meal from PhoFusion, John Duc cooked up the next two goals with the first being a one-time poke past the keeper with a defender doing a hard slide in as Duc shot. Duc finished the scoring on a corker that the keeper could not handle. Strong defensive play and continued brilliant play by Bader – named the Beachcomber Home Leisure Man of the Match – moved Kal Tire into the semifinals next Monday. Meanwhile, it was a possible playoff sneak preview between the Leko Precast Camels and Vernon Liquor Store Stars in a Capri Insurance 45+ League 1-1 draw at Marshall Field #5. Playing against the sun in the first half, the sixth-place Liquormen found it increasingly difficult to move the ball up field. Countless attacks by the third-place Camels (13-2-4) finally cumulated with a well-taken strike by Paul Morgan. Several chances presented themselves at both ends of the field with Ted Lurkins making worldclass saves to keep the 10-7-2 Stars in the game. The Liquormen pressed hard in the second half with some bold play from Andrew Whiston, David Howes and Cam Percy. Art Renaud equalized on a spectacular 30-yard strike, far corner. The Stars looked to have won late on a Stephen McCourt header that was cleared off the line. The Coombs Catering Soft Pudding Man of the

Match was awarded to Stars’ towering defender Bill Graham, who travelled from Alberta. Bosman Accounting had more than three subs for the first time all season and upset Big O TireTurn-Key Ogopogos 4-1. Remco Wijnhorst, on a gorgeous give-and-go with Henk Bosman, Ian Murphy on a fabulous shot, Kerry Correia, on a rebound after Murphy’s penalty kick was stopped by Yogi Kongsdorf, and Steve Coombs, with a cheeky 25-yard top-shelf floater, handled the 2-16-1 Bosman attack at Marshall #2. Murphy actually beat Kongsdorf on his first PK attempt, but the referee called encroachment, forcing the South Africa product to re-take the shot. Murphy unselfishly left the rebound for Correia to tap in the empty net. Gerry Geelkerken and Bosman each sent three great scoring chances wide or over the net. Defender Ted Sheehan ran miles for Bosman after being summoned from the 55+ reserves, earning the Sleeman’s Man of the Match ahead of defender Alex DeBoersap. Gary Dill parted the Bosman defence and beat Pete (The Heat) Richter with a 25-yard blast for the Ogopogos’ goal. Striker Ruben Cervantes and winger John Garner shared the Zubot Photography Man of the Match. League champion Brown Benefits bounced Brandt’s Creek 5-0 at Parkinson #9 with Tony Gonzales scoring a deuce. Ken Horncastle scored twice as second-place Penticton United grounded the Rented Mules 5-1 in Summerland. Zeke Pescada, Rob Jackson and Kevin Kothlow also tallied for Penticton. Fourth-place North Country Appraisals Kickers and keeper David Gadd picked up their 11th shutout of the season with a 1-0 win over Lake Country under the lights at Beasley Park. Olaf Dijkstra scored in the first half for the 14-2-3 Kickers. Lake Country keeper Todd Ryder made several super saves to keep the game close.

Magnums clip Dragons Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Magnums mauled the Kelowna Dragons 28-6 Sunday in Southern Interior Atom Football League play at Grahame Park. Quarterback Kolby Thorpe had another great game for the 2-1 Magnums, racking up 164 yards rushing and a touchdown on 17 carries. He was also 2-for-4 on kicking converts. Colin Charlton counted 56 yards and two TDs on 16 touches, while Carston Disher emerged as a running threat for the Magnums with 33 yards and one score on five carries. Receiver Brady Devries had 15 yards on a sweet run reverse that fooled almost everyone. “It’s awesome to see Carston have a strong day running the ball,” said Vernon head coach Tim Thorpe. “He gives us another weapon offensively, which is valuable moving forward.” The defence was led by the outside linebacker duo of Charlton (14 tackles) and Thorpe (11 tackles). Devries had a solid effort on defence with three tackles. Added coach Thorpe: “The Dragons kept trying to get outside on us, like all teams in this league, but our outside linebackers did a phenomenal job shutting them down.” The Atom Magnums travel to Kamloops on Sunday for a 9 a.m. kickoff against the Broncos. In Pee Wee action, the Magnums destroyed the Kelowna Dragons 38-6. The Magnums were led by the stellar offensive line play of Connor Dewhurst, Devin Hofsink, Brady Szeman, Logan Quibell and Ethan Schiman, who created big holes in the run game and provided great pass protection. The Magnums’ aerial attack was in full display in the first half. Quarterback Zack Smith (10 of 11 for 135 yards, one TD) completed passes to four different receivers, including a 15-yard TD strike to Ethan Mitchell (two

Vernon led 29-0 at the half on the strength of three Matthew Reich touchdown runs. The second half saw Cameron Moger plunge in from five yards to push the lead to 36-0. The Dragons hit the scoreboard as time expired in the fourth. “We had a lot of boys involved in the offence and our passing game looked in mid-season form,” said Vernon head coach Sean Smith. Smith cited Liam Glennon as a standout in all three phases of the game. “Glennon kicked well, made two tough catches in traffic and was all over the ball on defence, leading the team with five tackles. Taber MacLean was also solid defensively making five tackles.” The Magnums (2-0) battle the Kamloops Wildcats Sunday (noon) at Hillside Stadium. In Junior Bantam action, the Magnums lost 18-6 to the Dragons in a hard-hitting tilt at Grahame Park. Leading the Big Mac attack defence of the Magnums was Garret Black-Thomas, with three tackles and a sack, Issac Olsen, with a fumble recovery, Miles Forrest and Jacob Zyri, each with three tackles, and Trey Winstanely, with two. On offence, Olsen produced 75 rushing yards while Forrest

pocketed his first career TD on a well-run fullback dive. The offensive line of Jacob Zyri, Joe Bateman, Ethan Ehman, Clayton Hamming, Carson

Hamming and Issac Lowe did a good job protecting QB Thomas Hyett. Lowe suffered a serious leg injury in the third quarter and will be lost for the season.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder TRY TO HANDLE THE DISTRIBUTIONS Edward R. Murrow is a central character in the World War II book “Citizens of London” by Lynne Olson (Random House). Murrow said, “The speed of communications is wondrous to behold. It is also true that speed can multiply the distribution of information that we know to be untrue.” At the bridge table, since cards are hidden, distribution information can be uncertain. Players must try to allow for as many as possible. This deal is an example. South was in four hearts. How did he play after West surprisingly led the spade three and East dropped the king under dummy’s ace? North and South were using two-over-one game-

forcing, so three hearts was forcing. South signed off in four hearts because he had a minimum opening bid. At trick two, declarer led a heart to his ace. When West dropped the 10, South wondered if this was a singleton or from a doubleton queen-10 or 10-nine. Rather than decide immediately, declarer led his diamond queen. West won with her ace and played another spade. East took the trick with his queen and returned a diamond. Now South had an almost sure thing. He carefully played a heart to his king. Here, the queen dropped, so he drew the last trump and claimed an overtrick. But if West had discarded, South would have played on clubs, discarding

spades and holding East to one trump trick. Note that if South had finessed his heart jack at trick five, he would have failed, because West would have won the trick and led a spade, East overruffing dummy’s heart eight with his nine.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our mother, Rose Marie Bryant on Thursday, September 5th, 2013. Though recently diagnosed with cancer, treatment had barely begun and the end was sudden. Rose will be forever missed by: her daughters, Aimee, Sarah (Jason), and Rebecca (ChrisƟan)͖ and her granddaughters, Ella and Hawksley. She was predeceased by her parents, Gertrude and Norman Baker and by her elder sister, Bonnie Falconer. Rose was an excellent cook and baker, an outstanding pickler and preserver, and an incomparable kniƩer. Like her own mother, she had a deeply ingrained desire to nurture and protect others. Her friends and co-workers in the camp kitchens of Northern Alberta will always remember her kindness, her skill and her dedicaƟon. We are most grateful to her for being the best listener and biggest supporter we will ever know. No maƩer where she was living, Rose always considered Vernon home. She was laid to rest with a graveside service at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery on September 10th, 2013. In lieu of Ňowers or giŌs, we encourage donaƟons to the charity of your choice. Arrangements have been entrusted to Pleasant Valley Funeral Home. Condolences may be oīered at www. pleasantvalleyĬ.com
