UXO signs spell caution ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
New signs located along fences on the side of Commonage Road warn of the possibility of unexploded explosive ordnances (UXO) still being in the area. The new signs installed last week by the Department of National Defence (DND) join the already detailed signs located within Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park warning about the possible existence of leftover UXOs from the Second World War. Both old and new signs outline the steps that should be taken if a UXO is found. The Commonage and Coldstream area were both used as training facilities during the war. “The Department of National Defence UXO and Legacy Sites Program is also working with landowners in the Commonage area to provide signage where required,” said Jennifer St. Germain, a DND communications adviser. Since 2005, the UXO and Legacy Sites Program has been active in the Vernon area by installing warning signs, attending the Armstrong Interior Provincial Exhibition, conducting public information sessions and safety briefings to members of the public who may potentially come across UXOs. This includes municipal, district and provincial employees, search and rescue officials, fire departments, recreational users, dive clubs
and construction workers. “In addition, DND plans to continue the Vernon Schools Program, which involves UXO awareness education, with in-class activities for more than 1,000 students in Grades 3 and 9,” said St. Germain. As part of its commitment to ensure the public’s safety and address the presence of unexploded explosive ordnance (UXO) sites in Canada, the Government of Canada created the UXO and Legacy Sites Program in 2005. The program team includes trained specialists who ensure that appropriate actions are taken efficiently and safely when UXO are found. “A UXO does not look like it did when it was first made,” said St. Germain. “It will have been in the dirt or water for many years so it will likely look old and corroded. “It may be missing parts so it could look like a piece of old pipe, an old car muffler, a pop can, or just small pieces of corroded metal. It is usually not lying neatly on the ground or underwater - it is usually partly exposed or completely buried.” All UXOs must be considered dangerous, whether they look old or new. Disturbing it can make it explode, causing injury or death. If members of the public think they see something that could be a UXO, the DND offers up the following recommendations: ■ Do not touch it;

New signs have been posted next to Commonage Road warning that unexploded ordnances may be in the area. ■ Note the area where the UXO is and leave the same way you came; ■ Call 911 or law enforcement authorities.

Stars move on but spotlight remains RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The stars have moved on, but the North Okanagan could continue to bask in the spotlight. Production on Walt Disney Pictures’ Tomorrowland, starring George Clooney and Hugh Laurie, wrapped up on the weekend in Enderby, Grindrod and Armstrong. “Long-term, it exposes this area to the top directors and producers in the business,” said John Trainor, Okanagan Film Commission chairperson. “We have incredible production values like scenery and crew.” Jon Summerland, film commissioner, has been
busy speaking to a number of producers interested in what the North Okanagan has to offer. “That has partly sprung from the Disney experience,” said Trainor. Tomorrowland, which has a $250 million budget, began filming in the Enderby area Aug. 19 and continued off and off until this past weekend. Besides the cast, there was a crew of about 300 people and they used local restaurants, hotels and other services. “It’s been a pretty incredible summer for the North Okanagan,” said Trainor. “I was at the Mabel Lake Golf and Country Club, and the people out there were talking about the
business it (film) brought to the Enderby area.” It’s believed Enderby and Grindrod were selected as locations because of the availability of farm land. “We had a great time,” said Lee Anne Muldoon, Tomorrowland publicist. “The area was very friendly to the film community. The film commission was also extremely helpful to us, especially in the early stages of determining locations.” Production has now shifted to Vancouver and the sets constructed in the Enderby area are being demolished. Tomorrowland will be released in theatres Dec. 12, 2014.

Public assistance is being sought to solve Vernon’s latest murder. The RCMP are conducting a homicide investigation after Paul Jakubczyk, 53, died late Monday from injuries he sustained Sept. 6. “Officers have been working on this investigation since then,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. On Sept. 6 at about 8:30 p.m., police responded to a report of a man down in the parking lot of the Best Western Vernon Lodge on 32nd Street. Jakubczyk was found unconscious and taken to Vernon Hospital where his condition continued to deteriorate. Details about the injuries are not being released. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Vernon RCMP at 250-545-7171 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477. “Police officers have been conducting interviews and following up with people who may have been in the area at the time or had contact with the individual,” said Molendyk. “We are trying to figure out what he was doing that evening.” Jakubczyk was a Vernon resident and he was known to police. “We were aware of him. We have had contact with him in the past,” said Molendyk. “But he does not fall into the category of an individual who was well known.”

Terry’s legacy lives on Jennifer Smith

Morning Star Staff
reater Vernon is keeping Terry’s legacy alive. Approximately 344 people came out Sunday to run, walk, ride and stroll – continuing Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope. Thanks to the community’s support, the 33rd annual event at Coldstream Elementary raised $7,006. It’s a cause 10-year-old Taya Gordon and her family have been taking part in for the last four years – since her mom was first diagnosed with non-Hsodgkin’s lymphoma. “She got cancer four years ago and has been fighting it,” said Gordon, after singing the national anthem with Paul Moore while her mom proudly watched. Gordon believes it is important to support events like the Terry Fox Run in order to raise money to find a cure. And although one magical cure for cancer has been found so far, there have been significant advancements made over the years. “If Terry was diagnosed with that very same cancer today they would not have to amputate his leg,” said Verena Von Breman, one of the many volunteers at Sunday’s event. The message of hope was echoed by Coldstream Coun. Maria Besso at the event.

An E.coli outbreak, believed to be caused by cheese sold from a Salmon Arm farm, has prompted a warning to consumers. A public alert has been issued by the BC Centre for Disease Control and Interior Health to avoid consuming cheese products from Gort’s Gouda Cheese Farm of Salmon Arm. It has been confirmed that four people in B.C. have become ill after consuming the cheese and another four cases are under investigation, including the death of a southern Interior resident. “It was late last week that we started seeing the clustering of cases,” said Dr. Rob Parker, Medical Health Officer for Interior Health. Anyone with Gort’s cheese products is advised to dispose of it immediately. If you have eaten this cheese and feel well, there is no need to do anything further. If you ate this cheese within 10 days and have severe diarrhea or feel very sick, see your health care provider.

Vernon shatters weather records
Come Join Us…
Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Vernon scorched records for not one, not two, not even three, but four days this past week. “Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday were all records,” said David Jones, Environment Canada meteorologist. “It’s the late summer warm spell and probably the last gasp of summer I’d say.” Thursday’s temperature of 30.9 broke the 1969 record of 30.6 while Friday’s daytime high of 30.8 broke the 2006 record of 28.5. Saturday’s high of 29.9 surpassed a 2001 David Jones record of 28.4. Sunday also scorched the 2001 record of 29.1 with a temperature of 29.7. “Our records go way back so it’s pretty substantial to break records four days in a row like that.” While fall officially starts Sunday, the warmerthan-average temperatures are expected to continue for at least a couple days this week. “Our normal temperatures for Vernon is 19 right now,” said Jones. Today’s forecast calls for a high of 20 with a 30 per cent chance of showers. Thursday could reach 21, but again with a 30 per cent chance of showers. Friday is calling for sunshine with a high of 20. The weekend could be a little wetter with 60 per cent chance of showers Saturday and a high of 19 and Sunday and Monday are both calling for similar temperatures but with a 30 per cent chance of showers.

Smokers are being asked to butt out safely. It’s believed a smouldering cigarette caused a small fire in a litter receptacle in the 3300 block of 30th Avenue at 4 p.m. Monday. “We are urging people to dispose of their smoking material properly,” said Jack Blair, Vernon deputy fire chief. “Make sure they are out.” The incident was initially reported as being a dumpster fire, which raised concerns Jack Blair because of a recent rash of dumpster fires. “It wasn’t related to the other ones. It’s not in the same area,” said Blair. On Aug. 27, firefighters responded to a recycling bin fire in the 4550 block of 31st Street. In mid-July, there were four incidents of recycling bins or items next to dumpsters being set on fire in the area of 27th Street and 45th Avenue.

Significant support has rallied behind a Vernon organization that ensures access to dental care. The Kalamalka Rotary Club and the Rotary Foundation have donated $17,000 to the Community Dental Access Centre so it can purchase digital X-ray sensors. Sharkey “We’re very grateful to Kal Rotary which has been a supporter all along,” said Terri Jones, centre executive director, of the club’s $8,500 donation. “Receiving another $8,500 through the Rotary Foundation district grant program is fantastic. By combining the grants we are able to purchase equipment that before was out of our reach.” The Community Dental Access Centre is a non-profit, low-cost
dental clinic which provides basic restorative and hygiene services to low-income residents in the North Okanagan. The new equipment will create efficiencies at the centre. “We will have instant, high quality images instead of developing film in an old processor,” said Jones. “We will be better able to diagnose serious dental problems and bone loss. This is extremely important for our clients.” The Community Dental Access Centre celebrates its first anniversary Sept. 23 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at 3107C 31st Ave. There will be an open house to acknowledge the Rotary grants, the first year of operations and conduct the society’s AGM. “The Kalamalka Rotary Club has been committed to the Community Dental Access Centre since inception,” said Annette Sharkey, Kal Rotarian. “We’re very pleased that our application for a district matching grant was approved.”

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.

Local teachers are being sought for some rewarding work with kids. The Junction Literacy Centre in Vernon has opportunities for new and qualified teachers in After School Reading programs. The rewarding work provides new teachers with valuable training (to begin at the end of September) about teaching children how to read. The teachers are given several professional development opportunities with Lynda Henney, Vernon School literacy co-ordinator. The program is designed for small groups of Grade 2 and 3 students who are reading below grade level. The children stay after school for one hour every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from mid-October to mid-March. Teachers are paid for one-and-a-half to two hours each day. “I was a teacher in the program at Alexis Park last year and know firsthand that the children love the program and became more confident readers,” said Tina Ward, Skills Boost program co-ordinator
“...Children love the program and became more confident readers.” — Tina Ward
with the Junction Literacy Centre. “We also need volunteers at each school to help with one-on-one reading practice, playing word games and other fun activities.” The partnership between the Junction Literacy Centre and the Vernon School District supports the common goal that all capable children are able to “read to learn” by the end of Grade 3. If enough teachers sign on, the After School Reading program can be run in as many as five elementary schools. For more information, visit www.junctionliteracycentre.ca or contact Tina Ward at 250-275-3117 or tward@junctionliteracy.ca
Bike rack purchases promoted Morning Star Staff
Vernon businesses are being urged to promote the benefits of cycling among their employees and customers. The City of Vernon has launched a two-year pilot project in which it will assist businesses with the cost of purchasing bike racks. “With the growing number of cyclists, George Duffy we want to encourage local businesses to provide cyclists with secure bicycle parking, not only in the downtown but throughout Vernon,” said Wendy
Majewski, the city’s transportation demand management co-ordinator. Businesses can apply to receive 50 per cent of the cost of installing a bike rack. The bicycle rack discount program was developed after a request from the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce. “The chamber of commerce board is quite excited about the new program that supports green transportation and is improving bicycle parking for their customers,” said George Duffy, chamber of commerce general manager. New bicycle lockers are also available at the downtown transit exchange on 31st Avenue. Lockers are available for $12 a month, along with a security deposit of $50.

s soon as we begin learning to read as children, we are told that A is the first letter of the alphabet. But that’s not the case in Greater Vernon. The Greater Vernon Governance Society had barely launched a petition drive to investigate the feasibility of amalgamation when I got a question about the current political dynamics. Specifically, my inquisitor wanted to know, “Why isn’t there an Area A?” It’s a valid question given that the society refers to Areas B and C, as well as Vernon and Coldstream. There will be many of you who know the answer, but for those who are relatively new or try to avoid jurisdictional distinctions, I will attempt to provide a response. Regional districts were created in B.C. in 1967 as Richard Rolke a way of addressing common issues among neighbouring municipalities as well as providing a level of governance to unincorporated rural communities or electoral areas. In the North Okanagan, letters were handed out to designate the electoral areas. A was assigned to Okanagan Landing, once the transportation hub of the entire valley. As the decades went by, Area A not only had a seat at the regional district table, but it played a significant leadership role under the directorship of Alan Hill. But the needs and aspirations of some Okanagan Landing residents began to change by the early 1990s and there was significant pressure for a governance model that reflected that shift. In 1993, a majority of Landing residents voted to be annexed by the City of Vernon, and with a simple mark on the ballot, Area A disap-

peared forever. The new era was clearly evident when shortly after the referendum, a Vernon official took Hill’s seat at the parks board. One voice was lost, but another voice was strengthened. It would be easy to stop there, but nothing is ever as simple as it seems. While the bulk of Area A folded into the city, there were pockets that didn’t participate in the referendum for a variety of reasons. They still required representation at the regional district but they were too sparsely populated to constitute an electoral area all on their own. Instead, they were added to Area B (BX-Swan Lake). Among the orphans that found a new home were those parts of the Commonage not in Vernon, homes along the old highway above Kal Lake and the Cosens Bay cabin colony, south of Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. Based on what occurred in 1993, the letter B took on an expanded meaning in Greater Vernon. Not to be forgotten, the other letter that plays an active role is C. Area C consists of East Vernon, most of the BX and Silver Star. Depending on what ultimately happens with the push for a single governance model in Greater Vernon, the North Okanagan’s alphabet could shrink even further. Instead of beginning with B, the truncated rural system could start with D (rural Lumby), followed by E (Cherryville) and F (rural Enderby). It’s not an unusual scenario to consider as the Regional District of Central Okanagan once had nine electoral areas but is now down to two because growing population and demand for urban services led to absorption into Kelowna or new municipalities being formed. Speculating about the future is extremely difficult, but one fact is known for sure. There was an Area A.
The stars may have moved on to Vancouver and beyond but the good vibes from being a primary site for a Hollywood film may have just begun for the North Okanagan. Ever since it was announced that Disney was possibly looking at a location in the Enderby area, the buzz, along with the accompanying media coverage and gossip circuit, went into overdrive. And when the stars of the bigbudget flick Tomorrowland actually came to these parts in the middle of August the hype ramped up even more. And along with the hype for a $250-million budget movie came a crew of some 300 people and benefits for locsal restaurants, hotels and other service providers. Not to mention that having Academy Award winner George Clooney and House star Hugh Laurie in the neighbourhood put the area in the spotlight for a considerable amount of time during tourist season. And, apparently everything went well, according to the Okanagan Film Commission, which can only lead to more producers hearing about and, indeed, checking out the North Okanagan as a possible venue for even more films. The film commission will now work hard to turn that promising development into more projects for the area. What would really help, however, is if Tomorrowland, which is slated for release in theatres on Dec. 12, 2014, turned into a monster hit for Disney, and Clooney, and the North Okanagan. Then the dividends from this summer’s time in the spotlight could potentially benefit the region for many years to come. The Clooney-Disney-North Okanagan combo certainly gives it a great start.

Safety concerns should come first
agree with Ms. Pifer's concerns (Aug. 11 letter to the editor) over the safety of pedestrians and cyclists on 24th Avenue from 34th to 43rd Street. Most of the zoning on 24th Avenue is row housing residential and multiple housing residential. This lends to the area being densely populated, and because of its close proximity to downtown, many residents living here do not own or use a vehicle. Yet for such a busy pedestrian and cyclist roadway, there are neither sidewalks, nor bike lanes, not even painted lines on the road. Pedestrians, cyclists and those on scooters are forced to go around and inbetween both parked and moving vehicles. As well, they are forced to step aside when bus No. 5 drives by every 35 minutes.
open season I just heard that conservation officers have made the decision to kill the deer in Coldstream because he was becoming habituated to humans and may pose a danger to humans. They also indicated that with rutting season coming, it may make the deer more aggressive. I am appalled at the decision to put the animal down. I live in a neighbourhood where the deer wander in and out of our neighbourhood all year long. Guess what, no one has been attacked (neither human or dogs). Fancy that, they leave us alone. I was always under the impression that conservation was to save our animal population, but I'm beginning to wonder if conservation means kill. This seems to happen on a regular basis - kill the mother bear and her cubs, kill the deer. I am so angry and totally disgusted with the polices that this arm of the government has. It appears that it is open season on any animal with four legs. What's next? The birds? Is it really because the animal may become aggressive, or is it because our conservation offi-

cers can't be bothered to perhaps remove the animal and place it in an area where it is not going to wander into an area where humans are? Is money the deciding factor here? Is our government too tight with its budgets that these officers have no choice because there isn't the money or the personnel to remove these animals to a safer place? Tell me, what's the purpose of having conservation officers? We might as well just call on the police or a local hunter and have them come out and shoot the animal. What's next? Fran skeates thank you To the conservation officers who were forced to destroy the young deer in Coldstream, thank you. I am sorry that you were forced to make such an emotionally difficult decision, but I am glad that you were available to make certain that this deer was put down as safely and professionally as possible.

deer entered into rutting season and became aggressive towards humans. To the people who think it is cute to pet or feed wild animals when they are young, stop it. Once an animal becomes habituated to humans, the animal must be destroyed. There is almost never another option as relocating animals nearly always ends in a long, slow death for the animal because it is now encroaching on the territory of other animals. Never feed wild animals. Never approach them, even if it appears to be an abandoned baby. Give all wild animals as much space as possible by walking wide around them or by turning around and returning the way you came when hiking or walking in our local parks. Every contact between humans and animals causes them to lose their natural instinct to avoid humans. It is our duty to protect these animals by allowing them to live with as little human contact as possible. If you see what appears to be an abandoned baby, be aware that its mother is probably hiding and waiting until you leave to return
GREATER VERNON
GOVERNANCE SOCIETY SIGN OUR PETITION AT www.greatervernongovernance.ca Petition Statement: “As a citizen of Greater Vernon, I support a review by local and provincial authorities, to develop a plan to combine our regional governments ( City of Vernon, District of Coldstream, Electoral Area B and Electoral Area C) into a single entity, for the purpose of more efficient use of our local tax dollars.”
around and around with the city, I was advised that my letter of concern had been addressed at a transportation demand management committee meeting back in March 2012. The report from this meeting stated, “24th Avenue is in the pedestrian master plan to have a sidewalk constructed, although this is contingent on funding.” Contingent on funding? It’s simple. Instead of putting money towards, controversial “cosmetic projects” (to quote Coun. Bob Spiers) such as the Polson Greenway and the 30th Avenue revitalization, simply allocate the funds for it in the next budget. Beautification projects should not have precedence over safety concerns. Lee Brinkman
to her baby. Contact our local conservation officers and let them determine if any intervention is needed. Darin Johaneson ironic outcome I just felt I had to respond to the comment made by Sgt. Josh Lockwood when he stated, "How degrading is that to the animal?" He was referring to John Deer when he saw a picture of him wearing a pair of sunglasses and a hat. I am thinking John Deer would have preferred that over being euthanized and then shot while he was sleeping. Anyway, it's kind of ironic that a human gave this deer a chance to live for over a year only to have his life ended by another. Gerd Friedrich BiGGer proBLems So what, there's a friendly deer. A vet thinks it's a good thing to kill a deer. Their job is to save animals, what happened? Sometimes I feel there are the wrong people working jobs that don't belong. What are we teaching our kids? I think maybe the vet needs
to think more clearly. They could have relocated the deer. The people in the world today, we need to have a bigger heart. It was only a deer. There's bigger problems in today's world than friendly deer. Julie Di Lorenzo

Sound quality goes up a few notches New digital sound system at the Performing Arts Centre should attract some big acts
Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
To quote Nigel Tufnel from the 1984 mokumentary This is Spinal Tap, the amplification at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre now “goes to 11.” In what could be described as the difference between monophonic sound and Dolby, the VPAC is now wired to stage first-rate concerts with a new digital sound system installed over the summer. Demonstrated to members of the community on Thursday, the difference between the centre’s old sound system and new could be heard immediately. “The centre was a jewel in the crown of the community with its state-of-the-art technology when it was built, but over the years, we haven’t kept up with the technology. These upgrades are up to today’s standards of state of the art and should remain that way for the next 15 years,” said the VPAC’s executive director Pamela Burns Resch. Paid for by the VPAC society,

the Vernon Performing arts Centre’s technical director eric Pells, left, shows the new digital sound console to Paul maynes with the north okanagan Community Concert association and local musician Henry Piovesan at a demonstration of the centre’s new sound system thursday. Regional District of the North Okanagan and the Province of B.C.’s creative spaces fund, the system now includes a new DiGiCo digital sound console, with 32
channels of input, as well as a new Turbo Sound floor monitor, which gives the system more flexibility and a high-end stereo sound, said the centre’s technical director Eric
Pells. Pells, who with assistant technical director Rylee Block, demonstrated the new upgrades by playing a song by The Civil Wars on
both the old system and the new, said the new console, which is half the size of the old unit, is more portable and weighs 100 pounds. It can also be run to the stage with a single cable. “Before with the large gear, it needed to be carried from the top (of the sound booth) down (to the theatre auditorium) and now it’s a lot easier to do so because of the weight,” said Pells, who worked on a similar system previously while a technician at the Kelowna Community Theatre. “It has a range of effects, with delay, reverb, etc. and cues that are used for festival shows that can be programmed for different monitor mixes for different musicians. We also have the capability of focussing on one voice and moving back and forth between different voices.” The new system has already attracted some attention from presenters, and has come just in time before the sold-out concert by Great Big Sea, as well as a show by Colin James, both coming to the centre in October. “We’ve already spoken to Colin James’ people and they are happy to use the system,” said Pells. “Acts don’t have to bring or rent their own systems, which makes us competitive in the theatre industry. We can now bring acts to Vernon we couldn’t in the past.”
Film named after raft that carried Norwegian explorer across Pacific
For The Morning Star
The next film to be shown by the Vernon Film Society at the Towne Cinema is the highly acclaimed Kon-Tiki. It re-tells the voyage undertaken by Thor Heyerdahl in 1947 when he was attempting to prove the Polynesian Islands were settled from South America, not Asia as was generally surmised. Turned down by the National Geographic Society, he passionately pursued his quest to prove his theory and the film shows the frustrations and hard work that brought the expedition to fruition. Five men and Heyerdahl used ancient methods of construction —balsa wood logs and hemp ropes— to construct the raft and then set off on their incredible 8,000-kilometre voyage across the Pacific. As we have seen in some other recent
movies such as Argo, there is some exaggeration of facts in the cause of entertainment, but Kon-Tiki mostly sticks to the true story. The movie won the 40th Norwegian International Film Festival audience award and has been the highest grossing film in Norway’s history. Nominated for both Academy and Golden Globe awards, Kon-Tiki is bound to be an audience pleaser here too for those movie goers who love adventure, travel and are intrigued to know how great passions and ideas can propel people to risk all in pursuit of their dreams. The New York Observer wrote, “As an epic of awesome achievement, it never bores.” Kon-Tiki screens at the Vernon Towne Cinema Monday at 5:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are $7, available at the Bean Scene and the theatre one week in advance.

Film Kon-Tiki follows norwegian explorer and writer thor Heyerdahl in his 1947 expedition across the Pacific ocean from south america to the Polynesian islands.

Jazz club doors open to the ‘Blues Boss’ AmAndA morAzAin For The Morning Star
The Vernon Jazz Club will get a sweet treat of blues this Saturday night when Junoaward winning Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne takes the stage. Wayne will be joined by local jazz cats Craig Thomson on tenor sax, Les Copeland on guitar, Cam Ward on bass, and John Modder on drums. The night’s music will include songs such as Caledonia (Louie Jordan), Blueberry Hill, I’m Walkin’ (Fats Domino), Georgia on My Mind, and Hit the Road Jack (Ray Charles) as well as some originals. Wayne grew up in San Francisco with a father who was a minister. Naturally his musical path began in gospel but veered towards blues after a trip to Spain where his audience kept requesting it. When people started commenting on how Wayne’s stylings reminded them of great blues legends such as Charles Brown, Roosevelt Sykes, and Fats Domino, he knew that he had to continue on with their legacy. When speaking of his music, Wayne describes it as being sophisticated blues. “My style isn’t just one genre. It is a mixture of blues, boogie, and swing. I call it sophisticated blues... blues which is a little bit dressed up.”

Blues and boogie woogie pianist Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne returns to town to headline a show at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. His music is not the only thing that is dressed up. Any person who has the opportunity to witness Wayne live will notice his sharp, bright, colourful suits. “It’s nice to have the guys sit down and have a suit. You know, show respect to the piano. That’s where my heart’s at,” he said. This year has proved to be a busy year for Wayne filled with touring to parts of California, Quebec, France, Argentina, and Switzerland. He will be recording his next album in Vancouver this fall followed by
another in December, which is a tribute to blues legend Fats Domino. Thomson recently released his debut album of originals, Bright Beginnings. He co-hosts the Live After 5 Jazz Jam at the Rotary Centre for the Arts in Kelowna, an open jam for students and professionals alike. Thomson is an organizer of the B.C. Interior Jazz Festival and was this year’s recipient of the Okanagan Arts music award from the Arts Council of the Central Okanagan. Copeland has performed with blues greats such as
Honeyboy Edwards, Jimmie D. Lane, and Sonny Rhodes. Earlier this year he attended the International Folk Alliance Conference in Toronto and will be traveling to Sweden to perform in the fall. Ward can be heard playing on albums throughout the Valley. He won the Scorpion Entertainment’s Award for Best Jazz three years in a row and can be heard playing with Copeland at their regular gig at the Bourbon Street Bar and Grill. Modder is semi-retired but is always ready to play with great blues musicians such as Wayne, Sherman Doucette, Copeland, and Phat Betty. About Wayne, Modder says: “He is very accomplished technically and in terms of entertainment value he has great stage presence.” Kenny Blues Boss Wayne takes the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club (3000-31st St.) Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15. Tickets are $20 at the Bean Scene, Bean to Cup and at www.vernonjazz.ca. Note: The Vernon Jazz Society will be holding its annual general meeting Oct. 6 at 2 p.m. This meeting is open to the general public and will be held at the Vernon Jazz Club.
Art groups gear up for Culture Days Morning Star Staff
Whether it’s visual arts, music, dance, theatre, heritage, film and video, literature, culinary arts or new media, Canada is not short on arts and culture. The fourth annual Culture Days will be celebrated in hundreds of Canadian cities and towns from Sept. 27 to 29. And this province is not exempt from all the goings-on. Events during Culture Days are taking place in 46 communities in B.C., including in the North Okanagan. Hundreds of free, interactive activities are planned across the province, inviting people to get involved with the arts and artists in their communities to share their love of culture. “Culture Days is an opportunity to showcase the talent and creativity that exists across our province,” said Lucille Pacey, president and CEO of Arts Umbrella, and chair of the B.C. Culture Days task force. “From street art to high art, pop culture to traditional culture, Culture Days is an opportunity to engage with art and artists in a different way.” Vernon is celebrating Culture Days with three free registered events. On Sept. 27 at 11 a.m., a model drawing session will take place at the Vernon Public Art Gallery. Set to music in one of the VPAG’s exhibition spaces, artists will be encouraged to draw without inhibition while dancer Lorna Robb and guests of her Cheek to Cheek Dance Studio perform a variety of dance moves with energy and enthusiasm, as well as hold short dynamic poses. Visitors can enjoy the atmosphere, the company of fellow artists, snacks and refreshments. Artists are asked to bring their own drawing materials of
choice. Pre-registration is required by contacting the VPAG at 250-545-3173. The VPAG is also holding a workshop on charcoal and conte drawing for its Family Saturdays event, Sept. 28 from 1 to 3 p.m. Family Saturdays take place on the last Saturday of each month with an art project suitable for young children and big kids alike. For Culture Days, the VPAG encourages younger guests to participate in drawing exercises with this easy, expressive medium that requires no experience. Those participating should wear an art smock or old T-shirt. Materials will be supplied. Also Sept. 28 at 1 p.m., visitors to the VPAG can take in an artist talk with Vernon-based artist and gallery staff member Joanne Salé. Salé will discuss her works in her current exhibition titled Connections, which include a series of abstract drawings and site-specific sculptural installations inspired by images of various interconnected systems and networks in nature. Those who attend will learn about her current artistic practice and view a presentation of images of recent works. In Coldstream, the Mackie Lake House is holding a reception for its fall writer-in-residence Leona Theis, who will read from some of her selected works. The reading takes place Sept. 28 from 7 to 9 p.m. For more events during Culture Days, visit www. culturedays.ca. On the website is the Bright Spots schedule, an online tool that allows people to create a personalized schedule of activities taking place in their community.
Special Buddhist Event Friday, September 27th and Saturday, September 28th at the Village Green Hotel, 4801 27th Street, Vernon Buddhist monk, Gen Kelsang Sanden will preside over the “BUDDHA MANJUSHRI EMPOWERMENT” (Buddha of Wisdom).

Advocating an end to poverty RESULTS Vernon welcomes volunteers Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
When Leo Young joined RESULTS 10 years ago, 40,000 people a day died of poverty worldwide. “Today, 20,000 people a day die of poverty and we know that we are fixing the problem,” said Young, who has organized a Vernon chapter of RESULTS, an international organization whose goal is to create a world free of poverty and needless suffering. “When I first joined, we were told the problem was too big to solve. A friend told me about RESULTS and I said, ‘I’m going to write letters.’ “Now it is my turn to tell you. I am inviting you to show up for the poorest of the poor and write one letter a month at our education and action meeting.” Young calls RESULTS democracy in action, with the grassroots organization dedicated to

All are welcome to the inaugural meeting today from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the People Place ending extreme poverty through the commitment of passionate and engaged citizens. “We focus on solutions, not obstacles, and pinpoint opportunities where cost-effective, tangible investments can have the most impact for the world’s poor,” said Young. “We measure success in lives saved, in more children entering school and in less suffering from needless, preventable disease and illness.” Two hours, once a month, can make a huge difference in the lives of
the people who need it the most, said Young, who calls RESULTS one of the most powerful groups you’ve never heard of. “We are now the mouse that roared. We have moved literally billions of dollars from things politicians want to spend it on to things that matter.” RESULTS began about 25 years ago in the United States, and now has chapters across Canada, in Mexico, Japan, Australia, South Korea and the U.K., anywhere with a democratic
government. The Vernon chapter is the first new RESULTS group for Canada in 10 years. Through the use of media outreach, advocacy, and community engagement, RESULTS volunteers and staff convey to government that Canadians across the country are demanding that action be taken on reducing poverty around the world. “This is about using the tools of democracy the way they are supposed to be used. “I run into a lot of fatigue and ennui, hope-
lessness and despair and I want to convey that 10 years ago I had a sense of despondency and now I feel empowered.” The difference, said Young, is that RESULTS goes directly to the people who need help. It does not financially contribute to community projects in developing countries. Instead, its contribution is creating the political will to mobilize resources that reduce poverty on both micro and macro levels of the developing world. Its work is based on education and action and a belief that for change to occur and citizens to become mobilized, they need to be sufficiently educated and inspired about a particular issue and this education must be directed towards concrete and effective action. With its goal to ending worldwide poverty, RESULTS focuses on child and maternal health; education, particularly for girls; and eradicating TB/malaria/AIDS. “One of the things that influences where the money goes is public opinion and that’s what we do — we generate the will to end poverty.
It’s fall: time to think spring
ays are really getting shorter and when I take the dog for her walk at 6 a.m., it is barely getting daylight. We have been getting fantastic days lately but still too warm for me to work in the garden in the afternoon. Everything is ripening at once and there are not enough hours in the day to do everything. The blackberries are just about finished. I started pulling some of the cucumber plants. All the new blossoms on the tomato plants have been removed as any Jocelyne Sewell new fruits would not have time to ripen and would only take away energy from the plants. My little shredder died on me last week and I didn’t cry. It was not the best design. It took so long to undo the hopper and you could only put one piece in at a time if you didn’t want it to choke to death. It would plug with anything damp like tomato plants and fresh stems, etc. The guy who designed this shredder
A GArdener’s diAry
never had a garden. We still use the old lawnmower for small stuff and I use the edger to chop the fresh plants. If you do it as you go, it works OK. I was back at the Lumby Market last Saturday. The ride was nice early in the morning and only a few cars on the road at this time of the day. It was nice to see everyone again and I had a great welcome. I will be there until closing Oct. 12. This is the time to plant the tulips and bulbs that will be blooming in the spring. Don’t forget to use bone meal for all your bulbs. They love it. I had many bulbs in pots and I have been making two new beds in the backyard so I can put my bulbs there. Some of them were mixed with perennials but since I never remember where I put them, I happened to slice a few when I worked the beds. If I don’t have enough room for all the bulbs in these beds, I will put some in pots and sink the pots in the ground. This way, when the flowers have faded, I can remove the pots and replace them with other plants. Someone phoned me and asked about their tomatoes not doing well. Mine too had some problems. I found out that all
tomatoes are not created equal and some are good for a colder climate and some will do good in a warmer temperature. We tend to think of tomatoes as the classic plants of summer, but most varieties suffer when daytime temperature stay above 32 C or nights don’t drop below 24. This will not kill the plants but will destroy the current crop of pollen on the flowers. The regular growth will resume as the days cool off a bit. Mine are back to normal now but it is a bit late in the season. I can always make green tomato pickles and there are lots of recipes using green tomatoes. Tomatoes should not be watered in the evening, as their leaves staying wet overnight can cause disease. No plants should have their leaves wet deliberately in the evening, especially disease-prone ones like tomatoes, roses and lilacs. When all the plants are fading in the fall, it is nice to see some of them coming in full bloom like the sedum Autumn Joy and my big clump of Joe-pye weed. The sunflowers are also nice at this time of the year and the birds are busy harvesting. For more information: 250-558-4556.
“Come to the education and action meeting, discover how you can save the lives of millions of people and significantly increase the standard of living for tens of millions. All you need is a willingness to act, the ability to write a letter and to show up
for two hours a month.” RESULTS Vernon’s first meeting runs today from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the People Place, 3402-27th Ave., and all are welcome. For more information, call Young at 250-938-4621 or see http://results-resultats. ca/index_eng.asp

Salmon’s healthy rep is well-deserved
t’s salmon time in the interior of British Columbia with many fishers heading to their favourite rivers and lakes in hopes of catching a Pacific salmon heading back to the spawning grounds. If you’re not into that adventure, there is certainly lots of fresh salmon and other fish choices to purchase at our local fish store. Salmon has earned its reputation as a health-supportive food, based largely on its unusual omega-3 fatty acid content. It’s very common for 4 Cathi Litzenberger ounces of baked or broiled salmon to contain at least 2 grams of omega-3 fats and there are only two other foods that provide more omega-3s per standard serving than salmon: walnuts and flaxseeds. Eating foods rich in omega-3 fat (including salmon) is associated with decreased risk of numerous cardiovascular problems, including: heart attack, stroke, heart arrhythmia, high blood pressure, and high triglycerides in the blood. Omega-3-containing fish is also
kitchen wit & wisdom
associated with improved metabolic markers for improved mood and cognition, joint protection, decreased risk of two eyerelated problems: macular degeneration and chronic dry eye, and decreased cancer risk. I know not everyone likes salmon, so I’m offering a recipe for mild white fish as well today. The salmon recipe is a favourite for salmon lovers. It is low in calories, can be a whole meal alone, or served with crusty bread and a salad. It is easy to prepare and the sauce really complements the salmon. Enjoy! Balsamic-Glazed salmon Fillets 4 (5 ounce) salmon fillets 2-3/4 cloves garlic, minced 2 teaspoons white wine 2 teaspoons honey 3 tbsp. and 1-3/4 tsp. balsamic vinegar 2-3/4 teaspoons Dijon mustard Salt and pepper to taste 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Coat a small saucepan with non-stick cooking spray. Over medium heat, cook and stir garlic until soft, about 3 minutes.
Mix in white wine, honey, balsamic vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, for about 3 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Arrange salmon fillets on foil-lined baking sheet. Brush fillets with balsamic glaze, and sprinkle with oregano. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 14 minutes, or until flesh flakes easily with a fork. Brush fillets with remaining glaze, and season with salt and pepper. Use a spatula to transfer fillets to serving platter, leaving the skin behind on the foil. Note: Some people may disagree with the smell during cooking but it will dissipate and the results are well worth it. mediterranean Fish Bake 4 medium zucchini, sliced about 1/2 inch thick 2 teaspoons garlic, minced 4 fish fillets (tilapia, or any inexpensive mild white fish) 1 (14-1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes* (may use diced tomatoes with onions and green pepper) 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 1 tsp. sugar or 1 teaspoon Splenda 1 teaspoon capers, drained and rinsed
1 (2-1/4 ounce) can sliced black olives 3/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated Garnish: 3 tbsp. fresh parsley 1 tbsp. grated lemon zest 1 clove garlic, minced Sauté the zucchini and garlic in a skillet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Sauté until the zucchini is crisp-tender. In a 9x13 baking dish place the zucchini and garlic evenly in the bottom. Place the fish evenly on top. In a small bowl mix the next five ingredients and pour over the fish, covering well. Place in a preheated 400 degree oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily. Sprinkle the cheese over the whole dish and return to the oven for 5 more minutes. In a small bowl, combine parsley, lemon zest and garlic. Sprinkle over fish and serve immediately. *Note: to use fresh veggies, use 1/4 cup finely diced onion, 1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper, and 2 cups fresh diced tomatoes. Sauté onion and pepper in a small skillet until tender; add tomatoes and heat through. Add to recipe where directed.
Program helps seniors to do ‘Better at Home’ Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
Many North Okanagan seniors first moved to the area when their children were young. Now, some of them may find that they need a little extra help in order to remain in the family home. Thanks to Better at Home, they can. Introduced in 68 B.C. communities, the program is designed to help seniors with day-to-day tasks to help them live
independently and remain connected to the community. Services are provided by local non-profit organizations, which are selected through a community engagement process. “The goal is to help seniors live in their own homes longer and better with non-medical services,” said Sue Rossi, who is facilitating community development of the Better at Home program through the United Way. “My role is to listen to

local seniors, and people who work with seniors, for our community and its outlying areas. “It’s been really well received, and people are pleased to know that the services are based on a sliding fee scale, according to a senior’s ability to pay.” Rossi has facilitated several presentations and focus groups for the program to get an idea of what seniors need, with the local program set to start early in 2014.

“We are trying to make it accessible for everybody, to fill in the gaps and to work with service providers.” — Sue Rossi “Some seniors moved here with their families, and bought large family homes that they have been in for 50 years, with laundry downstairs,” she said. “I had one gentleman at the meeting who said we need to encourage younger seniors to downsize when they still can.” With funding from the provincial Health Services Authority, Better at Home services can include friendly visits, light yard work, minor home repair, snow shoveling, light housekeeping and grocery shopping. When Rossi has completed the community engagement process, the United Way will hire a Better at Home coordinator, who
will act as a central contact for seniors to call. “That’s a really important point because that’s been a big issue for seniors — who can I trust? They have come from a generation where a handshake meant everything; we’re a little more fearful to let people into our homes, to be wary of people we don’t know, so to have someone to contact for the services they need is key.” Better at Home services are designed to complement existing community supports, including those offered by regional health authorities. “In speaking with seniors, a number of issues have come up,
such as transportation,” said Rossi. “There are gaps in service — we do have buses and taxis; we have the volunteer driver program through the Seniors Information & Resource Bureau, but even with all those options, there still seems to be, ‘I need someone to come into the house, to get me to the car, to get groceries,’ and all the other pieces that connect to that. “We are trying to make it accessible for everybody, to fill in the gaps and to work with service providers.” Rossi said much of what seniors need is help with day-to-day chores. In speaking to senior women recently, she said some of them have noticed that they are no longer able to bend down to clean the bottom cupboards in their kitchen. “So it’s any of those physical things; if the hearing starts to go they tend not to go out as much and that can lead
to depression and isolation,” she said. “So it might even be a senior needs someone to come over and be their social connection to the world and be able to take them out to places where they feel they are not comfortable on their own.” Rossi will hold a community presentation on Friday at Schubert Centre from 10 a.m. to noon. It will give people a chance to learn about the program, to offer input, and to find out about volunteer opportunities. “The more volunteers who want to engage themselves in the program, the further the services will go, and we’d also love to hear from anyone interested in being part of an advisory committee, if they feel they have a certain perspective to help guide the project.” For more information, contact Rossi at 250-549-4534 or suevernon@shawcable. com
Orange Bottles help keep people safe Morning Star Staff
Thanks to sponsorship from Safeway, the Orange Bottle Program is helping to keep Vernon seniors safe in an emergency. A project of Vernon Seniors Branch 6 B.C. Old Age Pensioners Organization (BCOAPO), the Orange Bottle Program provides a small bottle where seniors can
keep their medical information, making it readily accessible to paramedics or anyone else, in the event of an emergency. The bottle is available with membership in the BCOAPO, which is $10, but thanks to the financial support of Safeway, half the cost of membership is covered. Seniors can stop by Southward Medical Supplies in
Vernon and pick up everything they need for just $5. For more information, please call Bobby-Jo Carswell at Southward Medical Supplies, 250-542-3334. Editor’s note: The above is a follow-up, with corrections, to a story that ran in the Sept. 15 Life section of The Morning Star. We apologize for any confusion.

More than 300 employees and teams from the Interior and the north were recognized for developing new ways of providing services to communities “This year’s recipients are passionate, innovative professionals who made contributions in different ways,” said Premier Christy Clark.

The outstanding achievements of B.C.’s public service employees have been recognized with the Premier’s Awards. In the partnership category, the Ministry of Agriculture’s Okanagan-Shuswap District was recognized for its efforts to protect the Vernon Creek watershed in Lake Country.

Passenger figures soar Morning Star Staff
Kelowna International Airport has surpassed the one millionth passenger mark, the earliest in its history. At the end of August, YLW passenger numbers reached 1,001,294 which is almost three per cent more than the same period in 2012. Since January 2013, every month was record breaking. July and August became the busiest summer in YLW history with more than 14,000 more passengers combined flying through the facility. “This year, and especially this summer, has been phenomenal for air travel through YLW,” said airport director Sam Samaddar Sam Samaddar. “In 2005, we reached our first millionth passenger that year around Dec. 10, and last year it was midSeptember. To top that number this year in August was a surprise, but it coincides with the great tourist season felt throughout the valley this July and August.” Air North Yukon’s Airline recently announced it will continue to link the Yukon and the Okanagan year-round. “Having this service available year-round now will provide great access to both our regions,” said Samaddar “Those in the Yukon can take advantage of our milder winters, our winter daylight hours, fantastic ski hill options and even the connections from YLW to our many sun destinations.” For those thinking about squeezing into a swimsuit and a holiday to a warmer climate this winter, non-stop flights and destination options at YLW continue to grow: Year-round daily service to Los Angeles on United Airlines remains a popular flight as it celebrates one-year at YLW this December. Flights to Phoenix will start again on Oct. 26 with an increase to twice a week service on Saturdays and Mondays with WestJet. Try your luck in Las Vegas with non-stop flights every Thursday and Sunday on WestJet beginning Oct. 27. Los Cabos, Mexico flights begin Oct. 26 every Saturday on WestJet. Cancun, Mexico service begins Oct. 27 with WestJet on Sundays and Wednesdays with an additional Saturday flight by Transat Holidays starting on Dec. 21. Puerto Vallarta, Mexico proves to be another popular destination with Friday service on WestJet starting Oct. 25 and Transat Holidays every Friday as of Dec. 20. A new Mexico destination is added this year on Thursdays by Sunwing to Ixtapa/Zihuantanejo starting Dec. 19.

The Landing’s Very Own...

It won’t be cheap for opponents of wireless smart meters to keep their old analog electricity meters. BC Hydro says it will slap an extra $35 per month fee – $420 per year – on the roughly 60,000 smart meter holdouts for manual meter readings starting in December. Those who don’t want to pay that much have two cheaper options. They can accept a wireless smart meter at no charge. Or they can request a smart meter with the radio transmitter disabled for a one-time $100 charge and additional $20 per month fees starting April 1. Either way, those who opt to stay off Hydro’s smart grid will pay more. BC Hydro has sent out letters to households that have refused smart meters outlining the options, along with a form to send back making their choice. Those who make no choice will be assigned the $35-a-month default option. “If you do not confirm your choice, BC Hydro will not exchange the meter at your home, and the monthly cost for keeping an old meter will be added to your BC Hydro bill,” states the letter from Greg Reimer, executive vicepresident of transmission and distribution. The proposed charges must still be approved by the B.C. Utilities Commission. Hydro officials say the fees offset the expense of adding infrastructure so the grid works as planned and the costs of manually performing services now automated by smart meters. BC Hydro says those who keep old analog meters aren’t guaranteed that will be an option indefinitely. Crews will replace analog meters that break or their accuracy seals expire as long as the existing stock of old

SilverBacks complete sweep Graeme Corbett Morning Star Staff
After two weekends of B.C. Hockey League play, there are two ways of looking at the Vernon Vipers’ performance. Some will see a team that has earned points in three of four games, including a salvaged point in Saturday’s 6-5 double overtime loss to the Salmon Arm SilverBacks in their home opener. Others will note the Vipers (1-1-1-1) have just one win in those four outings, and perhaps feel they should have closed out the win Saturday after building a two-goal cushion in front of 1,725 fans at Kal Tire Place. The Snakes’ coaching staff is leaning towards the latter viewpoint. “Our breakdowns turn into goals,” said Vipers’ associate coach Kris Mallette. “At this point in the season, you try to limit those as much as possible, but with the parity in this league, when you screw up they’re going to make you pay. “The effort was there, we just have some work to do. That comes down to not cheating over the puck and buying in in the defensive zone.” Alex Gillies, a Vernon product, continued his early-season tear for Salmon Arm (2-1-0-1), collecting his hat trick in style, sneaking the puck five-hole on netminder Austin Smith on a breakaway 1:17 into the second OT. Vernon had all kinds of pressure in Salmon Arm’s zone before turning the puck over at the blueline. Viper forward Mason Blacklock was all alone in front of the Salmon Arm net, but sent his shot wide. “I’m gonna need an ice bath,” smiled a fatigued Gillies, who earned BCHL Player of the Week honours for his five-goal weekend against Vernon (his seven snipes are tops in the BCHL). “It was a tiring shift. I was out there for over a minute for sure. I was about to change but it popped out perfect to me so I had to take it. “It’s a great feeling. There’s always a lot of pressure coming back home, but all I really care about right now is the win.” The Vipers got on the board first as Jason Bird wired a high point shot, glove side, past a screened Angus Redmond. Ryley Booth, a call-up from the KIJHL North Okanagan Knights, set him up nicely with a pass along the blueline. Jeff Kennedy, a rugged winger out of Terrace, replied for the ‘Backs later in the period, parking himself on Smith’s doorstep and deflecting a Thomas Plese shot from the top of the circle at 16:40. Vernon pushed ahead with goals five minutes apart in the second period. Mark Hamilton, a Boston-area product, pocketed his first BCHL goal at 3:07 by firing a point shot through traffic just as a

Vernon Vipers’ netminder austin Smith loses his helmet as he is bowled over by a flying Salmon arm Silverback Harlan orr in the Vipers’ b.C. Hockey League home opener Saturday night at Kal tire Place. Vernon man advantage had expired. Craig Martin netted the 3-1 goal as he crashed the net to bury a rebound on a 3-on-2 with Blacklock and Dallas Calvin. The SilverBacks responded with three straight goals, starting with Plese (second star) converting from the slot with five minutes to play in period two. Harlan Orr, who hijacked Bird at the blueline as he came out of the penalty box, set up fellow Vernon product Alex Jewell for a partial breakaway in the opening minute of the third period. Smith stopped Jewell, but Orr stuck with the play and eventually fooled the Vernon tender with a harmless wrister from a crazy angle for the equalizer. “We weren’t there in the first period at all, but we got good goaltending again and that’s what you need,” said Salmon Arm head coach Troy Mick. “We weathered the storm and we kind of got more confident as the game went on.” Just after Vernon had killed the first penalty of a 5-on-3, Gillies went to the net and deposited the rebound off an Evan Anderson shot at 10:15. Vernon answered just 18 seconds later as Dexter
Dancs corralled a floating point shot and deftly tucked it behind Redmond (37 saves). “It was a frustrating finish, but we played pretty well,” said Dancs. “We could tighten up on our dee zone because there were some goals we’d like to have back. It’s not a bad start, but we can definitely build on it.” Gillies, from Landon Smith, appeared to put the game away at 17:51, but Blacklock (second star) forced OT as he scored on a rush with 18 seconds remaining in regulation. Smith (29 saves) was pulled for the extra attacker. The Vipers had a glorious chance for the win in the double OT as Gillies was called for a minor, which results in an automatic penalty shot at 3-on-3. Demico Hannoun’s snap shot was gloved down by Redmond. The Vipers visited the West Kelowna Warriors (2-2) Tuesday night at Royal LePage Place. They host the Merritt Centennials (1-3) Saturday (7 p.m.) at Kal Tire Place. The Warriors shaded Merritt 4-3 Saturday at Nicola Valley Arena.
Vernon’s Curtis Lazar has signed his first pro hockey contract. Lazar, who was selected 17th overall by the Ottawa Senators in the NHL Entry Draft in June, inked a threeyear entry-level contract with the Sens on Tuesday. No details were released, but the standard first year money for a first-round pick is $925,000. “I separated my shoulder first day of main camp so I have been recovering,” Lazar told The Morning Star. “Hopefully, I can get back on the ice soon and get into a pre-season game or two. “The contract is awesome. The hard work starts now, but knowing the team has faith in me goes a long way. The way I play the game is quite similar to how the Senators play so it works out for both of us.” The 18-year-old centre is entering his third full season with the Western Hockey League’s Edmonton Oil Kings. The hard-working 6-foot, 196-pounder had 38-23-61 and 47 penalty minutes in 72 games last season, helping the Oil Kings return to the WHL final against the Portland Winterhawks.

Jones jumpstarts Heat offence Morning Star Staff
A penalty-kick converted by Austin Jones (fourth year, Vernon) in the first half was all the UBC Okanagan Heat needed as they grounded the Douglas College Royals 3-0 Sunday at Town Centre Fields in Coquitlam. “We controlled the game for the most part,” said third-year midfielder Donald Straith (Victoria). “We worked very hard at the beginning of the game which took off some pressure at certain points.” After Jones converted the penalty, the Royals began applying heavy pressure to the Heat back line. Joe Gill (fourth year, Abbottsford) made a sliding save to keep the ball from crossing the goal line late in the first half to preserve the Heat’s lead. The Heat found their offensive groove in the second half, beginning with Logan Abbott’s (freshman, Salmon Arm) header in the middle stages. Enzo Paal (freshman, Vernon) added an late insurance goal (his second in three games). Logan Ellis (second year, Calgary) now boasts three consecutive clean sheets, as the Heat have not allowed a goal since the 75th minute of the season opener versus the Vancouver Island University Mariners. The Heat (2-1-2) battled the Kwantlen Polytechnic University Eagles to a scoreless draw in a physical affair Saturday. “It was just one of those away games,” said Heat coach Dante Zanatta. “We created chances and didn’t finish them. They defended quite well.” Third-year defender Harrison Shrimpton (Whistler) was the
Heat Man of the Match, pestering the Eagles’ offence away from Ellis. In women’s play, Haylee Lakovic’s (freshman, West Kelowna) goal in the third minute opened the offensive floodgates for the Heat as they dismantled Douglas College 3-0 Sunday in Coquitlam. “It was definitely a well-fought match,” said Lakovic. “It got very physical, but we kept composed and we played how we know how to and came out with a well-deserved win.” Lakovic followed up on her goal in the third minute with another in the 21st, and Michelle Smith (third year, Vernon) put the finishing touches on the match after converting a penalty kick in the 80th minute. Christine Tallon (fourth year, Kamloops) earned a second clean sheet in as many days, looking fully recovered from the concussion she suffered in pre-season. “We battled for 90 minutes and were rewarded for our efforts,” said Heat head coach Claire Paterson. “It was an extremely physical match, but we did well to keep our composure and focus during the game.” The Heat (3-0-1) opened the weekend by playing Kwantlen to a scoreless draw Saturday. Smith and Hayley Carlson (third year, Red Deer) had the best chances for the Heat with great looks from the corner. “It was a choppy game today with no real flow to the match,” said Paterson. “We created chances but it was unfortunate that we couldn’t convert them today.” Tallon recorded the shutout.

North Okanagan nets second straight OT win Morning Star Staff
On Friday night, it was Blaine Caton. A day later, it was another 16-year-old who played the overtime hero for the North Okanagan Knights. Salmon Arm’s Logan Mostat, who played call-up duty for the Knights last season, scored with 1:38 left in the second OT as the Knights brushed back the Princeton Posse 4-3 in front of 300 fans at Princeton & District Arena. Brett Hawrys and Matt Halvorson, who each collected a single in regulation, assisted on the play. Shorthanded for the second straight game, Knights’ head coach Shawn Webb had to play a d-man up front just to make three full lines. “There was a lot of feeling sorry for ourselves that we had to go all the way to Princeton and play shorthanded,” said Webb. “We were fortunate to be 1-1 after the first period. Periods two and three, we carried the play.” The game was a back-and-forth affair, with Devan Suidy of the Posse and Anthony Ruggiero, a crash-andbang forward with North Okanagan, swapping singles in the first period. Halvorson netted his goal in the opening minute of the second frame,
Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - The Morning Star A31
while Princeton’s Eden Dubchak and Hawrys each converted on powerplays two minutes apart. Mason Chew beat Mitch Profeit (25 saves) with 4:06 left in the second period to complete the regulation scoring. Harrison Whitlock, a Vernon product, posted 23 stops for the Posse. The Posse’s Curtis Sexsmith, a Vernon native, found himself in a late scrap with the Knights’ Tanner Burns, who instigated the fight after Sexsmith delivered a hit to the head of Dryden Profeit. Burns will serve a one-game suspension as the 2-0 Knights’ host the 0-2 Osoyoos Coyotes Friday night (7:30) at Nor-Val Sports Centre. North Okanagan entertains the 0-2 Revelstoke Grizzlies Saturday (7:00), followed by a 3 p.m. Sunday matinee with the Posse (1-0-0-1). The Knights lost energy forward Owen Barker, who has left the team to work up north. Meanwhile, the resurgent Grand Forks Border Bruins have opened the new KIJHL campaign with three straight wins. The Bruins have been perennial cellar dwellers the past four seasons, racking up eight, one, eight and six wins, respectively.
Magnums blast Broncos Morning Star Staff
No matter whose number the Vernon Magnums called Sunday, the play worked wonders. The Magnums ambushed the host Kamloops Broncos 46-0 in Southern Interior Pee Wee Football League action at Hillside Stadium with seven receivers getting touches. Quarterbacks Zack Smith (3-for-5, 59 yards, one touchdown) and Ethan Anderson (5-for-8 and 70 yards) spread the ball around with Matthew Reich catching a 20-yard strike for the longest score. “I liked that we were able to get a lot of players involved in the offence,” said Vernon head coach Sean Smith. “Liam Glennon scored his first career touchdown off a reverse, Dawson Dunlop made his first catch and Kevin Morgan made a great catch over the middle. We’ve got a lot of kids that can make plays and our quarterbacks were able to get the ball in their hands.” The Magnums scored on every possession (six touchdowns) and held the Broncos to negative yards offensively. Defensively, Smith led all tacklers with six while Reich added five (including two sacks)
and Taber McLean contributed four. “We were firing on all cylinders and it gave our seconds a chance to get extensive game action and contribute on both sides of the ball. The boys are developing great practice habits and it is showing when they step onto the field.” The Magnums (3-0) host the Salmon Arm Mustangs Sunday at Grahame Park (noon). In Atom play, the Magnums were stopped 45-20 by the Kamloops Broncos. The Magnums allowed three touchdowns before they even wiped the sleep from their eyes in an early 9 a.m. start. The Magnums’ offence did finally wake up, led by quarterback Kolby Thorpe with 164 yards and two TDs on 17 carries, and runningback Colin Charlton, with 101 yards and a TD on 16 carries. However, the defence could not stop the high-powered Broncos’ offence which seemingly scored at will. The lone bright spot on defence was a Ryland Croswell fumble recovery. “We didn’t do a good enough job with our tackling and ball pursuit,” said Magnum coach Tim
Thorpe. “We have two weeks to improve and prepare for the No. 1 team in the league; we’ll be better for this game.” The Junior Bantam Magnums bowed 18-9 to the Broncos in a tough defensive struggle. In a first half that only saw a handful of first downs by either team, the Kamloops passing game was kept in check by defensive backs Tristan Baker and Isaac Olson. Miles Forrest and Dorian Weeks also played solid on dee with four tackles and one sack apiece. Forrest blocked a point after. It was scoreless at the break. Kamloops opened the third quarter with a 50-yard catch and run TD. The Magnums tried to claw back with some hard running by Riley Macgillivary and Olson, but couldn’t manage to keep the Kamloops defensive line out of their backfield. Rookie Seb Wenger recovered two fumbles by Kamloops punt returners in the last five minutes, giving the Magnums hope before the Broncos registered two quick scores. The Magnums look to rebound against the Salmon Arm Colts Sunday at Grahame Park.

Tiremen fall in semis Morning Star Staff
Vernon Kal Tire bowed 3-0 to first-place Penticton Pinnacles FC Masters in the Kelowna Men’s 35+ Soccer League semifinal Monday night under the lights at Kings Park. The fourth-place Tiremen (11-6-1) came out strong and had a few opportunities in the first 20 minutes while holding off Penticton pressure. Darren Nobrega, Ryan Sharp, from the back line, and Jesse Knight all just missed on glorious scoring chances. It was scoreless at the half, but the 15-1-2 Pinnacles began pressing and converted after a couple of Kal Tire fouls led to a beautiful, curling free kick over the wall. A few minutes later, John Duc of Kal Tire picked up his second yellow card and was subsequently red carded. Being a man short, Kal Tire was chasing the play as Penticton moved the ball well and capitalized with two more snipes. Penticton, sparked by league-leading 29-goal man Luc Martin, will either meet Alves Brothers or Lake Country Fireball in the league final Saturday (1 p.m.) at Mission 74 Park. Vernon’s John Orton supplied 16 goals for Alves Brothers in the regular season. Meanwhile, the Capri Insurance 45+ League regular season closed Monday night with the Leko Precast Camels grounding the Big O Tire-Turn Key Ogopogos 6-0 in a derby match at MacDonald Park. Rob Hulstein had a career-high two-goal showing for the 14-2-4 Humpbacks, who got the winner from Rick Raber in the second minute on a nice run down the flank. Zane Klym made it 2-0 on a scramble and Brian Williamson completed the first-half offence with a 25-yard corker off the post. Hulstein converted a feed from Mark Gilmore, Al Murphy nodded in a pass from Dave Dawson and Hulstein finished the scoring on a bold run. Dave Dutcher earned the shutout, diving right to stone Ruben Cervantes on a penalty kick. The injury-plagued Ogogopos placed eighth at 8-12 and draw league champion Brown Benefits in firstround playoff action Monday night.
Stars brush back Bosman 3-1
The Vernon Square Liquor Store Stars held off ever-improving Bosman Accounting 3-1 in the long grass at Marshall Field #2. The Stars face the Camels in first-round post-season play. The Stars struck early when Andrew Whiston nodded in a cross from defender Brian Eso, who raced 35 yards down the right flank Bosman came out determined to ruin the Liquormen’s night with an equalizer by Kerry Correia after a nifty feed by Laurent Dansereau. Minutes later, John Burns and towering Henk Bosman knocked heads, sending Burns to hospital for several stitches. Undeterred, the valiant Liquormen pressed forth with a tap-in goal by Bill Graham after he missed from ‘gimme range’ seconds before. Keeper Ted Lurkins continued his fine season with several big saves to keep it 2-1 at the half. Lurkins stoned Kevin Mitchell on a high toe poke into heavy wind and also blocked shots inside the 18 by Tom Ouchi and Ian Murphy. Art Renaud added insurance with a 15-yarder that fooled Bosman brilliant Brazilian keeper Gerson Betman, who stymied Graham from two yards out in the opening minutes. Betman was the Okanagan Spring Brewery Man of the Match. Cam Percy and Glenn Verdurmen had solid games on defence with central fullback Barry MacKay receiving the Setters Pub Man of the Match honours for keeping Henk Bosman quiet. It was a Clash of the Titans as Browns came

The 19-1 Browns boys showed up in force with 18 players making the trip and opened the scoring after 15 minutes with a 20-yard rocket from Lionel Hoffman which left Penticton keeper Mike Killick helpless. Browns kept pressing and at 45 minutes, Rich Woodhouse went on a brilliant solo run, bursting through the midfield, rounding both of Penticton’s central defenders before burying the ball from six yards. After the break, Penticton (16-4) came out determined to make a game of it and immediately capitalized on a weak back pass from the Browns midfield to make it 2-1. The game then ebbed and flowed in each team’s favour over the next 30 minutes with Brown’s keeper Steven Heiss making a number of good saves. Finally, at 84 minutes, Browns winger Larry Kinakin took a great feed from midfield and calmly rounded a sprawling Killick before tapping in to put the game to bed.
McAuliffe’s hat trick lifts Lake Country
Lake Country used a hat trick from tricky Bruce McAuliffe in a 6-1 win over Brandt’s Creek at Beasley Park. McAuliffe took over the Lakers’ snipe lead from Paul Charlton, who joined Graeme Jenkins and Steve Cox with singles. Blair Gautschi spoiled Pat Arnieri’s shutout bid in the dying minutes. The Lakers (11-8-1) finished fifth and will meet the fourth-place North Country Appraisals Kickers in the playoffs. The Kickers brushed off the Pushor Mitchell Advocates 3-1 at Parkinson #9. North Country scored first on a lob by Steve Frost as the goalkeeper lost the ball in the sun. Pushor (4-11-5) equalized shortly after on a marvellous solo effort by Bruno Curatolo, who beat two defenders and placed a sweet shot in the corner. The Kickers (14-5-1) picked up their game in the second half and got a header by Mike Francis after a nice corner by Floyd Ryan. Matt Cherrille sent Frost in on a breakaway and Frost connected on a firm, low shot to the corner. The seventh-place Rutland Spirit and the Rented Mules battled to a scoreless draw at Parkinson #16. The Spirit tangle with Penticton in the opening playoff round.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder IF YOU DO NOT KNOW, PARTNER MAY TELL YOU Patti Stanger, who tries to find romance for millionaires, said, “If you’re going to get engaged, make sure you’ve talked to your partner about life together in the years to come.” If you’re forming a new bridge partnership, make sure you discuss as much as possible, especially leads and signals. When an expert defends with a less experienced player, he can usually signal to tell his partner what to do. Of course, this assumes that the less experienced player is watching and interpreting correctly. However, there will be deals in which the expert will not be sure which way to
turn. Today’s is an example. South is in three hearts. West leads the spade seven. South wins on the board and calls for a low trump. What should happen after that? South bravely found a three-heart weak jump overcall. West wanted to make a negative double, but was not strong enough. And East felt too weak to balance with three spades. Note that double-dummy (everyone knows all of the cards), to defeat four spades, South must obtain a club ruff. To beat three hearts here, the defenders must take one heart, two diamonds, one club and a diamond ruff. So, East must take the second trick with his heart ace. Then West should drop the nine, a suit-preference
signal showing strong diamonds. Next, East will shift to the diamond nine. West will take two tricks in the suit and give his partner a ruff. Finally, East will cash the club ace for down one. If you and your partner watch the cards closely, use low trumps to send suitpreference signals.

Q: A:
We have heard that Mortgage Rates are increasing, what can we do to prepare for a higher Mortgage Payment?
We have seen Fixed Rate Mortgage Rates increasing since the end of June (Variable Rate mortgages have not changed as they are priced by the Prime Rate of Interest offered with the Bank of Canada overnight rate); the increase was a result of the increase in the Bond Markets in a very short period of time. This is a great time to review your mortgage and look at the possibility of increasing your payment slowly to make sure you are prepared for increased rates at renewal. You may also have the option to blend and extend your term, which would allow you to lock into a longer term than you currently have offering a longer term plan. We are happy to offer a Mortgage Check up to help to see if there are other money saving options for you. E&O/OAC For Expert Advice, Contact …

Q: A:
4705B - 29 Street, Vernon • 250-503-8788
A:
The average expected lifespan for a gas furnace is around 20-25 years. After that the failure rate goes up. If the furnace fails it could introduce carbon monoxide into your home, this can be lethal, and it is hard for a layperson to determine exactly when this is going to happen. Also as your furnace ages it does not work as efficiently as it did when it was younger. Older furnaces typically function around 50% efficiency, this means that half of your heating dollar is going up the chimney. Installing a new high efficiency furnace can save significantly in your heating bill plus ensure that you will be safe from furnace failure. Installation of a new furnace is not as expensive as some think, and there are government grants available to help offset the cost. For more information on grants ask your heating contractor or me.

Q: A:
What can psychotherapy do for me?
Psychotherapy can help you understand why you do what you do, feel what you feel, and act like you act. It helps you get rid of old habits and beliefs that no longer serve you and opens the door to feelings of peace, happiness, and excitement.
Yes! Classic feng shui can optimize the surrounding environment to provide you with the best foundation for a successful outcome, and is most beneficial at the initial build phase. The majority of my work is with existing homes (and businesses) where I am mediating what has already been built, and is like playing catch up to something already in progress. When I can select the most ideal location for your home, directionally place the home on that site and then design the internal layout and flow… Ahhh… then we are optimizing true feng shui as it was meant to be! When a home is built incorporating feng shui principles, it sets the stage for your family’s best health, wealth and happiness... and that’s how you should build a home. As Mike Holmes likes to famously say: “build it right”.... I absolutely agree Mike… absolutely agree...

Q: A:
My furnace is close to 20 years old now. For planning purposes how much more life should I expect out of it, and what should I look for in a new one?
Psychotherapy facilitates turning feelings of being lost, stuck, depressed, anxious, or stressed into feelings of belonging, happiness, confidence, self assuredness and peacefulness. So, you can make positive changes in your personal, professional, or spiritual lives!

Also, if you are thinking about upgrading your furnace, often people fail to ask about the electrical efficiency. Some furnaces today consume as little as 75 watts during operation, while older furnaces can be in the 200-300 watt range. Considering that your furnace does double duty by operating during the cooling season as well, the hours of electrical operation can really add up over the course of a year. So make sure to ask your heating contractor about electrical efficiency!

You should have Powers of Attorney once you have any protect-able assets, for instance, you own a house or a business or even a bank account. Should you be in an accident, ill or out of the country, someone can attend to your financial affairs on your behalf. The person you give a Power of Attorney should be a trusted person. You should also understand that abuse of Powers of Attorney is one of the most common ways of elder abuse. We often see cases where children abuse these Powers of Attorney, so don’t assume you will be immune to this. There are many different types of Powers of Attorney, they can be custom tailored to fit your particular circumstances. At Laarakker Law, Wills 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.

Why Powers of Attorney?
Andrew Stevenson
Life expectancy for furnaces really depends on how well it has been maintained. Like all mechanical equipment, furnaces require routine maintenance and the filter should be changed frequently to optimize air-flow through the system. A well maintained system will last 20+ years with very few repairs. However, even if your system has been well maintained and is operating fine, modern furnaces are so efficient now, that it may be worth upgrading your furnace if it’s older than 15 years. Gas furnaces today boast efficiencies as high as 98%. That means for every $1 spent on natural gas, only 2 cents worth is being wasted. Some older furnaces are wasting as much as 40 cents for every dollar spent on gas.

I have a home that is about 30 years old. The gas furnace is original to the home. I was thinking about getting a new one but my friend said if it’s not broke why fix it. What do you think?
What is ‘Bluetooth’ & how does it work with hearing aids?
Bluetooth uses a short range (usu. 30 ft) radio frequency that allows different types of devices to communicate directly with each other. Cell phones, TVs, GPS, computers, stereos, MP3 players & now hearing aids, can be made to talk to each other by using Bluetooth. Perhaps the biggest advantage for someone with a hearing loss is that you can keep the hearing aids in your ears & be able to have your cell phone conversations ‘stream’ directly into both ears, wirelessly. Not only will you hear the phone better in noise, you will be able to do it ‘hands-free’. There are other applications for Bluetooth as well. With a Bluetooth transmitter attached to your TV or stereo, your hearing aids can work as a wireless earphone set. This often gives the hearing impaired person more clarity of speech. Given all the action & background noise on today’s TV shows, this can be a distinct advantage when watching your favourite shows. These devices often have a separate volume control as well. That means your family can set the TV volume to a level they are comfortable with, & you will be able to adjust your own volume separately. This might help keep peace in the household!

often should my home Q:How be checked while I’m away? A:
The frequency of home checks varies among insurance companies – from every day, to once a week. These differences are based on the carriers’ past experience. Usually, an insurance carrier will agree to reduce the frequency if the home is checked regularly by a qualified home watch service. Your insurance broker can explain the specific requirements of your particular insurance carrier.

province, we are excited to help backyard and amateur photographers showcase these amazing animals,” said Sara Dubois, manager of wildlife services for the B.C. SPCA. Some of the photos entered in previous contests have been featured in the B.C. SPCA’s AnimalSense and Bark! magazines, local newspapers and even a book, City Critters: Wildlife in the Urban Jungle, authored by journalist Nicholas Read. “It’s a testament to the calibre of photos that are entered,” said Dubois. Prizes will be awarded for the top three photographs in each of two categories: Wild Settings and Backyard Habitats. The contest is open to all adult (age 14 years and up) backyard and amateur photographers residing in B.C.
Wild Arc photo
Last year’s winners included Dennis McLaren, who won second place in the Wild Settings category for his photograph of a vibrant yellow bird. Learn more about this year’s contest and see winners from past contests at spca.bc.ca/ wildlife-in-focus. The annual contest encourages participants to explore greenspaces, roadsides,
beaches and even backyards to find striking images that represent the resiliency of local wildlife living at the interface with humans. Wildlife includes freeliving birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles,
fish and insects, but not exotic, feral or domestic animals, or wildlife in zoos or rehabilitation facilities. For more information about the contest, e-mail contest@wildarc. com.
