Resolution targets longer terms RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Mayors, councillors and regional district directors could be elected less frequently. A resolution to extend terms of office from three to four years was supported by 60 per cent of delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver Thursday. “There’s something to be said about continuity,” said Ryan Nitchie Ryan Nitchie, an Armstrong councillor. “We develop five-year plans but we’re only elected for three years.”
Catherine Lord, a Vernon councillor, also supported the resolution, which will now be forwarded to the provincial government for consideration. “Four years gives people more time to do what they were elected to do,” she said, adding that currently, the first year is a learning curve for new politicians and the third year is focused on electioneering. “It will also be cheaper for taxpayers to have an election every four years than three.” However, not everyone is supportive of the shift. “If there are four-year terms, it will be hard to attract people to make the commitment for that length of time,” said Rick Fairbairn, rural Lumby director. “It’s difficult to attract younger individuals.”
Juliette Cunningham, a Vernon councillor, also has similar concerns. “Four years is a good chunk of their life. It may make them decide not to run,” she said. Nitchie downplays the impact of four years over three. “People are committed to the community no matter what,” he said. UBCM will now ask the provincial government to make the change in time for civic elections in November 2014. Presently, there are four-year terms for municipal leaders in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Ontario, P.E.I. and New Brunswick. — with files from Black Press reporter Tom Fletcher

Officials are furiously trying to hammer out plans for a possible cultural referendum. Greater Vernon Advisory Committee staff have been meeting with the Greater Vernon Museum and Vernon Public Art Galley on potentially holding a spring vote to borrow funds for new facilities. “We are in a tight timeline,” said Tannis Nelson, community development co-ordinator. In August, GVAC directors voted to proceed to a spring 2014 referendum to borrow funds for a new art gallery and museum. However, there are some outstanding issues to resolve, including which jurisdictions would participate financially in the service. “Out of that will come the costs of what needs to be done leading up to a referendum,” said Nelson. Political approval will also be required to hire a consultant to establish firm construction costs — possibly $17 million — as well as operating expenses. The other matter to determine is when a referendum may be held and ensuring all legislative requirements for a referendum are met. Nelson believes that even with all of the work that must still be done, a spring vote could occur. “It will keep us busy through the fall. We want to make sure we are thorough,” she said.

A move to restrict religious-related clothing in Quebec is raising concerns here at home. The Quebec government is proposing a ban on public servants, including teachers, doctors and nurses, from wearing large crucifixes, turbans and hijabs. “I am somewhat offended that the government would state what their (public’s) values are,” said Colin Mayes, Okanagan-Shuswap MP. “As a person of faith, no one should be concerned about anyone expressing their faith in a public setting no matter the faith.” The Quebec government has stated the goal of its charter of values is to clarify the religious neutrality of the state. However, the proposed legislation has come under attack as being discriminatory. Officials with the federal government in Ottawa have indicated they will challenge the legislation legally if it is considered to go against the Canadian constitution. Mayes wouldn’t say if he would support his government’s challenge of the proposed law because the issue has not been discussed by the Conservative caucus. Instead, he believes any challenge of the legislation should come from Quebecers themselves. “They can do that through the ballot box or the courts,” he said, adding that the charter of values doesn’t reflect well on Canada as a whole internationally.
North Westside fire chief resigns in protest richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Controversy continues to rage around the North Westside Fire Department. Chief Wayne Carson resigned Sept. 16, claiming that he had no choice given allegations and job changes being made by the Regional District of Central Okanagan. “Under normal circumstances, I would not have resigned. I Wayne Carson loved the job and serving the community,” said Carson, who was chief for 19 years. This is just the latest development in a conflict between Carson and RDCO. He was suspended by the regional district for three days in June but details around that
circumstance have never been made public. He then returned to duties after the suspension but a leave of absence began July 8. RDCO has stated Carson requested the leave but Carson has denied that. Carson says he was scheduled to go back to work Sept. 16 but during a meeting with RDCO officials, he says he was handed a reprimand letter. It was then that he decided to resign. “Allegations have been made against me and there has been no appeal process,” he said without getting into specifics about the allegations. “I maintain the allegations against me are false.” Carson also claims the nature of the chief ’s job and the fire department have changed while he has been on leave. “Equipment has been sold and things have been done that water down the depart-
Design
ment’s ability to respond to wildfire,” he said, adding that construction costs for a fire boat house have also soared. “I have never seen anything as disrespectful as this.” Carson says he may consult a lawyer to determine what information he can release to the public, but he has no plans to sue RDCO. “I won’t put thousands of dollars into lawyers when they will use my community’s tax dollars to fight me.” RDCO confirms it has accepted Carson’s letter of resignation. “It’s a personnel matter and we can’t discuss the resignation,” said Bruce Smith, communications officer. An interim chief hired during Carson’s leave of absence will remain on duty until a new chief is named. “We are reassuring residents that the fire

Sandi Dixon, Okanagan Science Centre executive director, and Glen Taylor, ranch manager, create a Field of Screams at the O’Keefe Ranch corn maze this October.
Field of screams takes root at ranch Morning Star Staff
Two of the area’s most popular attractions are teaming up to create a field of screams for Halloween. The Okanagan Science Centre (OSC) has a valley-wide reputation for delivering both family and scary haunted house events for the past 11 years. This year will be all new with the OSC team bringing their haunted house event to the O’Keefe Ranch corn maze. “The ranch staff and volunteers have done a fantastic job in creating their new corn maze. It is the perfect venue to transform into a ‘field of screams,’” said the science centre’s executive director, Sandi Dixon. “The ranch has a dynamic and committed team of staff and volunteers and together we will create an event that will be bigger and better than either of us could do on our own.” There will be daytime hands-on family friendly events with a focus on agriculture and science, as well as the
ever popular very scary night time events. The event will draw thousands of people from all over the Okanagan Valley. O’Keefe Ranch general manager Glen Taylor is looking forward to working with the Okanagan Science Centre on this new project. “We have been receiving great reviews so far from visitors to the new corn maze, this is the first time we have tried this at the ranch and are always looking for new opportunities and partnerships to enhance our visitor experience.” It takes an army of volunteers for events of this magnitude and people of all ages and abilities are invited to join in the fun and help make it all happen. Volunteers are needed immediately to help with planning, prop design and building. Volunteers can contact either the science centre (info@okscience.ca or 250-545-3644) or ranch (events@ okeeferanch.ca or 250-542-7868 for more details or to sign up.

Recruiting doctors on Enderby’s radar richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Attracting and keeping doctors continues to be a major challenge for small communities. Jackie Pearase, rural Enderby director, was among the officials who attended a session on physician recruitment at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver this week. “It comes down to highlighting amenities,” she said. However, Pearase believes communities have to do more than promote recreational activities and lifestyle if they want to draw doctors. “I want to make sure
doctors have realistic expectations of what we have to offer,” she said. “They may not have surgical access opportunities. They want jobs for their spouse and a good education for their kids. With trades programs, they have to go elsewhere beyond Enderby.” Provincial officials leading the workshop indicated they are doing their best to bring doctors to rural B.C. Pearase wasn’t impressed with that response. “It seems like a lot of it is back on the community to do the work,” she said of community promotions and advertising.

“I got some good ideas about retaining doctors.” Pearase’s next step is to meet with the City of Enderby and discuss
strategies to not only bring new physicians to the area, but also keep them here. “There are 10 doorways and you have to
keep opening up each one to see what’s behind them,” she said. “Enderby has things to offer and we just have to find the right match.”

Thursday that he gave “I believe it was over Irving, who was raised $10,000,” said Osborne. in the North Okanagan, By 2:30 p.m., he began texting again, first asking “how you making out?” He repeatedly texted her over the next hour, with his last text asking: “What the f---, dude??????”
“I was getting very concerned,” he testified. Osborne said he then called Verma and asked if he knew where “the girl we were with the other day” was. A week before Irving’s disappearance, Osborne said he had a “chance” meeting with Verma and Irving, who he both knew to be marijuana brokers, at a tattoo shop in Rutland. “The meeting was mostly “social,” he said. Verma responded to Osborne’s query with “what girl?” Later in the conversation, Verma said he had texted Irving earlier in the day, Osborne testified. The next day, Verma and Osborne met, with Osborne telling Verma “I was out money and
that I wanted it back.” Verma asked if Osborne was “f---ed” because he lost the money, but Osborne told Verma he would “be fine.” Osborne then told Verma he was “fed up with people stealing from people” and that he wanted to know who was responsible “because I’d like to deal with them,” Osborne recalls telling Verma. Verma said “he’d see what he could find out,” Osborne testified. He said he doesn’t believe he heard from Verma again. Earlier in testimony Thursday, the court also heard from the night manager at the Days Inn, where Irving and her brother were staying when she disappeared.
After seeing video surveillance of the hotel lobby for the evening of April 5, Jay Shah identified a man pictured in the video as “Joey Verma.” The video also depicts them having a conversation, which Shah says was about whether Verma received the phone calls he transferred to room 108. Shah says Verma told him the calls “were for Brittney.” Verma is currently on trial for first degree murder in connection with the death of Irving. She was last seen alive on April 6, 2010 and her body was found in a forested area outside Kelowna on April 26, 2010. The trial is expected to last six to seven weeks.

Helping children One to One impact with Grade 1s, but especially Grade 2, 3 and 4s, they build confidence through the rest of their school life.” Seeing the improvement in the kids is the most rewarding experience, said Blakely, who is usually saddened when the program ends in May but as excited as a young school girl to start again in September. It’s a sentiment shared by many past and current volunteers who have enjoyed helping “so many kids that otherwise might fall through the cracks,” said one parent volunteer. And for many, it isn’t just the kids who learn. “As much as I have enjoyed tutoring our students, I feel like I have learned a great deal from them as well,” said a college student.

A love of reading doesn’t come naturally to all kids, so for those who are challenged by letters and words reading can be a discouraging task. To ensure all kids learn, and enjoy, this necessary skill, volunteers like Lindy Blakely have been dedicating their time to read with kids in the One to One Program. But the program, which has been running in the Vernon, Lumby, Lavington, Cherryville and Okanagan Indian Band schools for 19 years now, is in need of more volunteers. The Junction Literacy Centre runs the programs in the schools and has training sessions coming up Sept. 26, Oct. 1 and Oct. 2. Anyone, from retired community members to parents, can take part by contacting district co-ordinator Bonnie Hutton at 250-549-2216 or bhutton@junctionliteracy.ca Volunteers who can commit to one-and-ahalf hours one morning or afternoon per week for 12 weeks will not only help kids read, but improve their self esteem. “These kids know that they are below average in their class so that is really hard on their self-esteem,” said Blakely. “So they give up trying and they decide that reading is too hard and they decide that they hate reading.” Children, particularly those in Grades 2-4, are referred by their teacher to the program. “We take kids who have little glitches in their reading such as they can’t focus on the lines or they rush read-

Doing the right thing
drian Dix is a pretty nice guy. I’ve met him a couple of times. Once when he was working for the Canadian Parents for French, B.C., Yukon branch, and once as opposition leader when he caddied at a charity golf tournament here in Vernon. He came across as forthright, hard-working and earnest, maybe even a bit too much so, but as a genuinely decent guy. I must say, and he’d likely concur gladly, he didn’t know much about golf but was very generous and helpful in every other way as a celebrity caddy. Reading a bit about him, I understand he’s also a workaholic and I’m sure he does what he does for all the right reasons. Glenn Mitchell I believe the reasons for the NDP’s staggering loss despite a huge lead is due to many factors, and his performance and lack of a detailed party plan for the economy that they could stick to was a big part of it, but I applaud him for taking responsibility as a leader. Now he likely had no choice as the party faithful were likely looking for a fall guy and may think that you can’t go with the same face on a new campaign after such a devastating loss. If they’re smart they’ll go for a younger, more charismatic leader who can shed some of the party’s baggage while remaining faithful to its labour roots (which seemed to get abandoned in a silly bid to outgreen the Green Party and pander to a Lower Mainland electorate that in the end didn’t trust them to run the economy anyway). Of course that’s a tremendously difficult bill to fill and you never know how a leadership campaign is going to turn out. I mean Christy Clark wasn’t supposed to win the Liberal leadership campaign let alone the election. Everyone, especially pollsters, said
MitChEll’S MuSingS
she was going to lose in spectacular fashion. It shows campaigns count, it’s largely a popularity contest and people will say they’re going to vote against the government (which is what the NDP relied on far too much) but when it comes to the actual ballot box you better offer them a little more than “we’re not them.” However, politics is a very fickle business. Just ask Gordon Campbell. Literally one day he’s basking in the glow of the ultra successful Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010 and before you can spell HST he’s out as premier. So it’s not like the NDP don’t have a chance next election, and they have time on their side. And thanks to Dix stepping aside, they now have the opportunity to regroup, refocus, retool and just plain rejuvenate. Meanwhile, Dix can continue to do what he does best over the next several months – he’s a very good opposition leader by all accounts and if the Liberals ever recall the Legislature he can do even more. But I’d like to thank him for his efforts and wish him well. He’s staying on as MLA and if the NDP ever form government I’m sure he will have a high-profile position and do an admirable job. However, what I’d also like to point out to all leaders is how refreshing it is to hear a politician take responsibility for his role in what transpired. You know, take ultimate responsibility as captain of the ship for the ship’s fate. It’s a time-honoured tradition for a whole host of reasons and I commend Dix for doing the right thing. The finger-pointing and lack of accountability on the Senate scandal, for one, comes to mind. The butt-covering and evasive answers, when the media actually gets to ask them, would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. Alas, it’s what we’ve come to expect from federal politics. So, again, thanks Adrian for your time in the brutal spotlight that is the political spectrum these days, and all the best in the future.
Recycling is a common activity in many Canadian municipalities and has been for some time now. Unfortunately, recycling programs cost money to run, in the form of salaries for the collectors, the vehicles, etc. These costs are borne by local governments and in turn by the residents by way of taxation. Nonetheless you would be hard-pressed to find someone who complains about the cost of recycling, we all want to do our part. The one group not doing their part is the manufacturers of products, the products that come in packaging, the packaging that necessitates the establishment of recycling programs. The provincial government, in an effort to force participation by industry in the process passed legislation requiring industry to establish a stewardship plan. In response, industry established the Multi-material BC, MMBC, a not-for-profit organization formed to take over recycling stewardship in British Columbia. The goal of the MMBC stewardship plan is to transfer the costs of recycling from government and taxpayers to industry and their consumers. Let’s be clear, taxpayer equals consumer, so we’re still on the hook. MMBC has a board of directors, three to be exact. Two are from industry, and the third has previous ties to industry. Where are the board members representing the other half of the equation: the consumers, us? — Penticton Western News

Amalgamation worth considering
read The Morning Star article entitled "Coldstream councillors respond to petition." It may appear to some that it doesn't make sense to consider amalgamation. However, in the long-term, it makes nothing but sense for all parties concerned. There is reason to believe that nonduplication of services through joining together would produce some substantial financial benefits, not to mention less friction for the egos involved with separate governing bodies. For those fearful of being swallowed up by a larger neighbour who at present doesn't seem to be managing their own affairs very well, I think there are other Vernon residents along with myself that would welcome representatives from our closest neighbours to be fairly represented no amalgamation The only jurisdiction which benefits from amalgamation is Vernon. Vernon gets more revenue and everyone else pays higher taxes and gets fewer services. Growth equals an increase in capital spending. As the housing development increases, expenses and taxes go up. Why? Because no developer ever pays the cost of the infrastructure necessary to support their development. More people require more public services, libraries, police, municipal staff, sports and recreation facilities, water, etc. Does this sound familiar? If you want to see taxes stabilized, stop handing out building permits. There are only three groups which will support amalgamation: 1. Those that stand to profit directly. 2. Those too new to the valley to be aware of Vernon's perfidious history. 3. Those that think it's fun to walk into a dark alley, get suckerpunched and mugged. l. John lewis time has come Kudos to the Greater Vernon
as part of one governing body. A fresh perspective in general appears to be lacking at present and some new
Governance Society for pushing an idea whose time has come, as long as they don't call the new municipality Great Vernon. But who designed that petition question? "I support a review..... to develop......to combine.....for the purpose......" I see a scenario where those with an interest in the status quo get together, have their review and announce that amalgamation isn't a good idea. End of story, because that's all the petition asked for. How about, "I support the amalgamation of Vernon, Coldstream and Areas B and C into one municipality, right now." As an aside, does anyone ever say they're from "Area B"? Don Rollins baD signs It may be too late, but Vernon is most likely on its way to becoming the next ghost town in B.C. A town often becomes a ghost town because the economic activity that supported it has failed. The term can sometimes refer to cities, towns, and neighborhoods which are still populated, but significantly less so than in years past. For example, those affected by high levels of unemployment. Factors leading to abandonment
options would be welcome additions to bring this incredible area with all of its potential, to become both economically
of towns include depleted natural resources, economic activity shifting elsewhere, railroads and roads bypassing or no longer accessing the town. Recent news story after news story tell the same bleak story of Vernon city hall being out of control in its spending. The economic climate of Vernon can not sustain Vernon because there is little to no tax base in Vernon. The core services review only confirms what was already known. But I believe the core services review is flawed and has failed Vernon residents. The core services review has set out a number of different steps that can or need to be followed. One of these steps is amalgamate Vernon, Coldstream and Areas B and C into a single entity. As part of a recent city core review, consultant KPMG indicated amalgamation would generate efficiencies and reduce costs. Vernon council decided not to take action on that recommendation. But there is a very dark Side to amalgamating. What has happened in the Okanagan Landing is a great example of this. If amalgamation were to happen,
stable and a welcoming location for residents and visitors. It seems obvious, because we are so intertwined already that blunders and mismanagement by any party will adversely affect the others anyway. Why not consider looking at working together for the benefit of all involved? There will always be important and difficult decisions that have to be made by the inhabitants of population centres. It appears that we have missed the boat regarding any hopes of a bypass and now we have yet another important decision to consider: joining together through amalgamation. Let's not bury our heads in the sand over this one before we thoroughly explore it. Wayne Wilson
you have to remember Coldstream and Areas B and C would be forced to adhere to all Vernon bylaws and answer to Vernon city hall. Do you really want that? The petition that is being circulated asking local and provincial authorities to develop a plan to combine Vernon, Coldstream and Areas B and C is flawed. This petition fails to inform those affected of the pros and cons of amalgamation. Hey, what is with this name Greater Vernon? No wonder the mail gets lost. george serhan scooteR safety In response to the letter Sept. 8 about scooter safety, I take umbrage with your view of scooter operators. I note that in your jaundiced view of us, you failed to mention that we are probably responsible for global warming, the Middle East crisis, poverty and a host of other ills. Further, your acrimonious statement, "Rip around like a banshee," is pure poppycock. As to skateboarders and longboarders, don't get me started on this as they are more of a hazard to pedestrians than scooters.
My estimation of cyclists not wearing helmets (and I see lots of them) is they have a death wish. In closing, might I recommend you not avail yourself with a scooter as you may pose a danger to yourself and others. R.W. Kerry

Lumby’s concerns about flooding have gone provincial. Mayor Kevin Acton and council discussed the need to reduce the flooding risk with Environment Minister Mary Polak and Forests Minister Steve Thompson at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver. “We talked about the responsibility of controlling water and the impact of pine beetle kill and climate change,” said Acton. “The province has allowed companies to clean out pine beetle kill and that has led to flooding.”
THIS FALL, TAKE TIME FOR YOUR HEALTH
There were also discussions about Lumby’s assertion that the Regional District of North Okanagan’s water controls on Duteau Creek have contributed to flooding downstream. No promises for flood mitigation were made, but the ministers stated their staff would do studies on the situation and then make a decision based on that process. “We need the support of the government,” said Acton. Acton and his council also met with Health Minister Terry Lake to promote the concept of a campus of care that meets a variety of health needs. “We have applied for three different grants for a feasibility study. There were no promises as to where that will go,” said Acton.

Bears back in search of food Morning Star Staff
Bear warnings are being issued in Coldstream following an increasing number of bear complaints reported to the Conservation Officer Service this fall. The warning also follows an incident of a mother bear and her cubs being destroyed Sept. 3 in Coldstream following complaints. Even Coldstream’s mayor has reported having to scare bears out of his backyard. The District of Coldstream warns residents that bears are preparing for hibernation and need to consume a substantial amount of calories every day until mid-November. If bears access those calories through human-provided food such as garbage, fruit trees and bird food, they become habituated to humans and often must be destroyed because they are a public safety risk.
Habituated bears can’t be relocated. Attempts at relocation have failed because the bears return to the same neighborhood, become a problem in another neighborhood or struggle to survive and compete for food in another bear’s territory and often starve to death. Since prevention is the best strategy to keep the communities safe and bears wild the following tips are offered: n Keep all garbage securely stored inside until the morning of collection day. Garbage is the No. 1 reason bears have to be destroyed. n Pick all ripe fruit and clean up under fruit trees on a daily basis. n Never approach or feed wildlife. n Clean your barbecues after each use by burning off any food residue and emptying the grease catcher.

YOU AND THE LAW If you encounter aggressive or dangerous wildlife, call the Conservation Officer Service reporting line @ 1-877-952-7277. The Conservation Officer Service is also recommending the purchase and use of bearresistant containers in the areas that have repeatedly experienced bear problems. The www.bearaware.bc.ca website lists suppliers for these containers as well as additional information on attractant management.
Multi-cultural facility discussed Morning Star Staff
Plans are building to possibly address a need for a hub for immigrants in Vernon. Members of the community interested in a multi-cultural facility in Vernon will have an opportunity to participate on an advisory group as part of a Welcome BC initiative hosted by the Social Planning Council for the North Okanagan. “We are developing a feaCarol Wutzke sibility plan that will investigate short, intermediate, and long-term opportunities. Community representation is desired to help advise the process,” said Annette Sharkey with the Social Planning Council. Carol Wutzke, with Vernon and District Immigrant Services, says their agency has identified a need for, “an informal space for new Immigrants to meet, develop friendships and share their cultural experiences.” The feasibility study will explore how to meet this gap in the short term but also look at other partnership opportunities for a longer-term plan for a multi-cultural facility. An information meeting is planned for Sept. 25 from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the Vernon Branch of the Okanagan Regional Library. The meeting is open to anyone interested in learning more about the project and who may be inter-
ested in being part of an advisory group. To reserve a seat at the meeting, call the Vernon and District Immigrant Services Society at 250-542-4177 or email vdiss@shaw.ca. The feasibility study is one of seven projects funded locally through the province of B.C.’s Welcome BC program.

NEGLIGENT BARS FACE LIABILITY FOR CAR ACCIDENTS By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. Bars, pubs and other enterprises that make money serving alcohol must try hard to prevent predictable injury. If they don’t, a court may order them to pay big dollars to an injured victim. Let’s say you get seriously hurt in a drunken fight in a licensed night club, and no steps were taken by security staff to break it up. The club may well face liability. Or if you’ve had too much to drink and you’re allowed to walk home alone, and you get struck walking into the path of a car, the pub that didn’t take steps to make sure you got home safely may be blamed. Often, the saddest cases have to do with drunk driving that causes very serious injuries – to the driver, to passengers, or to other people, like pedestrians or people in other vehicles. A recent case in BC illustrates such a tragedy, for which a “commercial host” was found partly responsible.

BC’s appeal court decided in July, 2013 that the pub’s actions were a contributing cause of the accident and fixed the pub’s liability at 20%. Putting responsibility on “commercial hosts” is meant to act as a “deterrent,” said the court, to keep them from focussing purely on maximizing liquor sale profits – a tool to motivate them to keep drunk drivers off the road.

Program urges scooter safety Morning Star Staff
Some Vernon residents are ready to hit the road. Thirty-seven people attended the eighth annual scooter safety course hosted by the Safe Communities Unit, the RCMP and Southward Medical Supplies. “The participants were very attentive and all wished to learn to become safer operators while sharing space with other pedestrians and vehicular traffic,” said Ed Howard, seniors program co-ordinator with the Safe Communities Unit. “This cutting-edge course offers participants information on general safety, rules of the road and maintenance of their mobility equipment.” Once the inside sessions were done, participants headed outside at the Schubert Centre for hands-on instruction. “They practised what they learned under the guidance of Safe Communities personnel and volunteers,” said Howard. Community policing’s engraving services were also made available to those attending the session. They were able to have their canes, walkers, mobility chairs and scooters engraved with their driver’s license number or B.C. identification number. “In the event of theft and subsequent theft recovery, this identification assists police in returning goods to their rightful owner,” said Howard. For more information about scooter safety, call 250-550-7840.

Jersey Day rallies for KidSport Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
The community is being challenged to sport their favourite team’s colours Friday to ensure all kids get to play. Greater Vernon KidSport’s second
annual Jersey Day for KidSport is Friday, where individuals and office and business staff are urged to wear their favourite team jersey and make a donation. “Companies, car dealers, retail outlets, organizations, everyone
is encouraged to wear a jersey for KidSport and make a donation,” said Ann Holmes, Greater Vernon KidSport. “Any jersey, any sport.” All funds raised in the community remain local, enabling more than 275 kids
from Vernon, Lumby, Cherryville, Armstrong, Enderby and Grindrod to be able to take part in sports. More than $40,000 annually goes towards putting kids in three minor hockey associations, ringette, lacrosse, three skating organizations, OTR programs, swimming, gymnastics, dance and basketball programs, to name a few. “Over $700 was raised locally in 2012 from this event – let’s make it bigger and better for 2013,” said Holmes. Vantage One Credit Union in the Landing Plaza raised the most during the first Jersey Day fundraiser. They are up for the challenge again this year said Heather Sidor, Landing branch manager. “Join in. Wear your favorite team jersey. Have fun – better aim for three figure total donations to beat us! It is for a very good cause.” The Morning Star is also supporting the
cause again this year and challenges their readers to support the cause. “Sports play a major role in developing a child’s sense of belonging through team building, which is evident in the sports pages of The Morning Star,” said managing editor Glenn Mitchell. “This community has proven to produce some incredibly talented athletes, so let’s pull together to give even more kids a sporting chance.” Greater Vernon KidSport is also throwing down the gauntlet to challenge all papers to host the second Annual Jersey Day for KidSport throughout B.C. on Friday. For more information contact Ann Holmes at involved2@ shaw.ca or to have your donations collected. Donations can also be dropped off during business hours at Vantage One Credit Union in the Landing Plaza on Friday, Saturday, or Monday, Sept. 30.

Cameron Stolz, disputing MMBC claims the $110-million system will be fully financed by the producers of packaging and paper. “The terms and conditions of the contract are just simply unacceptable,” New Westminster Coun. Bill Harper said. If cities decline to be paid collectors, MMBC will contract the ser-
vice out to firms and may let them halt curbside pickup of glass and direct residents to take jars and bottles to a depot instead. “That glass is going to go straight in the garbage,” Harper predicted. “So we’re actually walking backwards in terms of the diversion rate in New Westminster.” Thursday’s vote came as MMBC claimed 85 per cent of B.C. cities with curbside pickup have accepted its offer to run the service for pay-

ment. It said five per cent declined by a Sept. 16 deadline, letting MMBC contract out, while 10 per cent will opt out and keep providing recycling pick up without any MMBC payment. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, chair of Metro Vancouver’s zero waste committee, said the positive responses MMBC claims may include many cities that have conditionally signalled their intent, but want to negotiate better terms. “In Me t r o Vancouver there is widespread rejection of the MMBC situation,” he said. “But I believe there’s also a collective will to make it work.” Brodie said he’s been assured provincial government officials are concerned and argued the planned launch date of next spring should be delayed. “I think that the dates are really arbitrary. If it’s a good idea and we want to do it, May of 2014 is not magical. It could be May 2015 or any other date.” The UBCM resolution was crafted from separate motions lodged by Smithers, Port Moody, North Vancouver and New Westminster. Port Moody did sign on to the financial offer but is seeking improvements to the terms, Mayor Mike Clay said. NDP local government critic Selina Robinson urged the province to “slow down and get it right.

Airport cheapest to fly from alistair waters Black Press

Kelowna International Airport has been recognized by Cheapflights.ca.
Friday October 4, 2013
The popularity of Kelowna International Airport may be taking off but the cost of flying out of the local facility appears to be grounded. An Internet website that specializes in finding travellers cheap airfares says the airport is the cheapest in Canada to fly out of.
Cheapflights.ca has published its annual Canadian Airport Affordability Index which ranks Canadian airports — and U.S. airports close to the border that Canadians regularly use — based on the average airfare found in August to popular destinations like Montreal, Miami, Los Angeles, London, Bangkok and
Cancun. This year, Kelowna jumped to second place on the index (from eighth in 2012), trailing only Bellingham in Washington State. Kelowna was listed as the cheapest of the 17 Canadian airports on the 20-airport index, a list that included major Canadian airports such as Montreal’s

Colleen & Brent Barker Colleen and Brent do almost everything together and have for almost 37 years. As high school sweethearts, they’ve developed a long-term, lasting relationship based on friendship and the belief that love is a journey that requires commitment. For the past four years they have worked together at Fraser Financial as well as serving on the Board of The Vernon Golf and Country Club. Between work and volunteering they found time to have two children, Tierney and Bryce, now grown and off pursuing their own dreams. Brent and Colleen love being a part of the Vernon community and all that the Okanagan has to offer. They were shocked to be asked to participate as they never considered themselves dancers. However, they were willing to accept the challenge for a great cause and now intend to fully “Enjoy the Journey”. Lorna is a wonderful instructor and inspiring to train with.

Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport (13), Calgary International(15), Toronto’s Pearson International (17) and Vancouver International (19), as well as smaller facilities in London, Ontario (14) and Fort McMurray (16). The average airfare out of Kelowna was listed at $432, while Bellingham’s average was $316. (All figures in Canadian dollars.) The top five was rounded out by Moncton at $436, Victoria at $441 and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport at $448. Vancouver’s average ticket price was $613. Kelowna’s airport was the 12th busiest in Canada last year and this year is expected to handle more than 1.5 million passengers. Last month, the airport saw its millionth passenger pass through the terminal in 2013, the earliest that has ever occurred. According to Cheapflights.ca, the “takeaway” from its 2013 index is that airfares are fluid and can vary from airport to airport so travellers need be creative and flexible when planning a trip. They must be ready to jump on a deal when they see one, added the website.

Neilson pulls successful switch Kevin Mitchell Sports Editor
On a volleyball scholarship as a freshman with Mount Royal University, Monica Neilson is now a senior and leader with the Cougars soccer team. Very few athletes can successfully make such a drastic change at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) level, but Neilson has become an impact player for head coach Tino Fusco. “Originally, she came in a bit raw after playing volleyball for a year,” said Fusco. “She has good size and is a good, physical player and is our starting central fullback.” Neilson, 22, earned a huge soccer ball trophy as the Cougars’ Top Defender in a 1-7-4 Canada West Conference season a year ago. The Cougars were 2-2 going into a home tilt with the University of Victoria Cougars Saturday. “I switched to soccer second year. My first year of volleyball didn’t work out for me. I’m very happy with the way it all ended up. I love our team and it’s been a good fit.” Wearing No. 6, Neilson quickly noticed the track-like tempo of university soccer. “It’s a huge jump to CIS. The girls are twice as fast and twice as a big. As a defender, you have to be way more aggressive and first to the ball. You really have to be on your toes.” The Kalamalka Lakers’ grad has worked hard to improve her slide tackling and head balls off corners, while also getting more confident with her feet. Fusco expects Neilson to win most aerials and likes her gritty style and general understanding of the game all over the field. “She is a leader in the group. She’s not one of our captains, but she’s stepped up. She tends not to be overly vocal because she concentrates so much on what she’s been told to do. She sets the tone by getting dirty.” A fifth-year nursing student, Neilson and midfielder Christine Jenkins of Lantzville (near Nanaimo) are the only non-Albertans on the Mount Royal roster. Last season, the Royals tied the favoured Calgary Dinos and also drew with the ultra-talented UBC Thunderbirds before shutting out the Winnipeg Wesmen 3-0 in their final game, a home date.

vernon's Monica neilson, far left, joins in the celebration with the Mount Royal cougars in ciS soccer action last season. “It was perfect Canadian weather,” laughed Neilson. “Parents and staff had to shovel snow off the field.” Summing up the losing season, she said: “Pretty much all of our games were 0-0 at the half and the other coaches were really contending for playoffs so we played them tough.” Neilson played summer league for the Little Tex Outlaws before returning to Calgary. She faced Vernon friends Kirsten Dodds and Michelle Smith in a pre-season mini tourney versus the UBC Okanagan Heat. The Royals use a sports psychologist for mental prepara-
tion, and Neilson has listened well. “It’s mainly a case of just forgetting about plays as they come, and gaining more confidence.” Neilson was coached by Dave Fehr with the Lakers and went through the Vernon Soccer Academy led by the late Andy Waughman. Monica’s sister, Christine, and parents, John and Pat, are also multi-sport athletes. John coached an Alberta entry to a gold medal in volleyball at the World Masters Games in Italy last month.
Overtime expeditions finally catch up with Knights
Morgan Johnston
Morgan Johnston fired a deuce in his return to the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, but it wasn’t enough as the North Okanagan Knights bowed 4-3 in overtime to the Osoyoos Coyotes Friday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Johnston, an 18-year-old Kelowna native who was released by the BCHL West Kelowna Warriors, and Colin Robin staked the 2-0-0-1 Knights to a 3-1 lead late in the second period before the 2-2 Yotes stormed back with three unanswered goals. Robin, a Fort St. James product, scored his first
KIJHL goal on a terrific solo effort, collecting the puck in traffic and then getting netminder Lawrence Langan (28 saves) moving laterally before tucking the puck under the Osoyoos tender. Johnston one-timed a Tyler Godberson offering from the slot for his first snipe with 6:06 remaining in the first period. He then unleashed a bomb from the point during a second-period powerplay to earn the 3-1 goal. Each of North Okanagan’s three regular-season games have gone to OT, only this time it was the Coyotes who came out on top as Cameron Dobransky

collected the winner on a 4-on-3 powerplay. “He walked in off the half wall and absolutely bardowned it,” said Knights’ head coach Shawn Webb. “If you’re going to place a shot, that’s where you do it.” Webb felt the Knights struggled to find their rhythm early, and once they earned the two-goal lead, they fizzled. “We played catch up all game. From the drop of the puck we weren’t right. Second period, we started off really good, got two goals and you could feel the momentum had turned.”

Olynyk offers hockey advice
ick Olynyk grew up in a hurry. That will happen when you live in 12 billet households, get traded three times, change high schools five times and move from one country to another. Oh, and he also watched teammates get thrown in the drunk tank, underwent mid-season surgery, was listed and then dropped by a WHL team, and had agents pestering him. All of the above happened as the towering net detective from Canora, Sask. played hockey from age 14 through 21. Kevin Mitchell Olynyk was the Vernon Vipers’ starting goalie when they bowed to the Nanaimo Clippers in the 2006-07 season championship series. Mark Holick was the head coach and the Vipers were led by the likes of Andrew Coburn, Mike Ullrich, Kyle St. Denis and Scott Zurevinski. The studious 6-foot-4, 200-pounder has seen enough to write a book. It took him about a year and the book is out. It’s called
The Junior Hockey Truth. Olynyk is living in Austin, Tex., which he says is the Internet marketing capital of the U.S. He offers a free seven-page guide online, hoping it will entice readers to buy the more in-depth, pro edition book. “It was released in May and I’m getting some good feedback,” Olynyk, an English major, told me in a phone interview. “On and off, it took me a year and I interviewed over a dozen people. I stuck to Canada. There is so much competition for players in Canada and Junior A is a very viable option in B.C.” The book is a parent’s guide to scouting, education and their son’s career. “Most Midget hockey parents don’t know what to expect when they send their sons off to junior hockey, and my parents were no different,” he writes. “That’s why I decided to write this guide. Junior hockey parents often think their sons just get drafted or picked up by a team like it is destiny or fate. This is wrong. Half of their sons getting scouted, earning scholarships and eventually playing pro hockey is deciphering where their sons should play junior and how to get there. “Many parents are unaware of their sons’ options and often leave it up to chance that their son will get a AGM / Lantern Making scholarship instead of taking proactive steps to put him in the spotlight Workshop for one.” “Runaway Moon Theatre Arts Society” Olynyk was often caught between will be holding the Annual General Meeting for major junior and junior A. He was the fiscal year May 1 2012 - April 30 2013, at 7 briefly with the WHL Regina Pats P.M. on Friday September 27th, at the United after starring for Yorkton in Midget Church (basement). A short meeting will be held AAA. He spent 10 games with the followed by refreshments and lantern making for Tri-City Americans and played for the Floating Lantern Celebration (World Rivers’ Day) four junior A teams. “Yet, I still managed to use my which will take place on September 29, 2013 by the Information Centre/Chamber of Commerce Building in Enderby at 6:00 p.m. (See Entertainment Section)

WHL and junior A scholarship money to finance my education and I graduated with a degree in English and professional writing from the University of Victoria in 2011, at the age of 24.” He’s done his homework, put pen to paper and published a book designed to help parents and players make their journey through junior hockey a success. “After playing in over half the provinces in Canada and parts of the United States, I’ve learned more about junior hockey than most players do in their lifetime,” writes Olynyk. “With my scholarship, I earned a degree and I barely paid a penny for it thanks to hockey. Career finished, I’m passing my advice along to you through my book series, The Junior Hockey Truth. It has everything parents need to know before their sons play junior hockey.” For many teens, leaving mom and pop for a new home and school is a stressful time. Olynyk paints a colourful picture of billet life, providing tips on how to make the experience joyful. “Imagine that you’re being dropped into a stranger’s house for a winter. You don’t know who the people are. You don’t know what it looks like inside. Yet that’s where you must eat, sleep and live. You’re going to call it home. That’s billeting, and it’s a major part of playing junior hockey.” Olynyk suggests opening communications with your billet early while establishing boundaries. Know your rituals, be respectful and become part of the family, he recommends. Olynyk told me hockey matured him quickly as he learned to be responsible and accountable. Those lessons were invaluable when he attended university.

Former Vernon Viper netminder Nick Olynyk has written a book to help aspiring hockey players plan a successful junior career. He touches on hockey groupies and hazing, while also writing about money changing hands. “Not only have I seen near-pro salaries paid to players, but also I have received ‘scholarship’ money myself from organizations. Teams can be quite creative in giving players money for school without paying them.” To check out more on Olynyk’s book, visit: www.juniorhockeybook.com.
Maroons cap preseason with win Morning Star Staff
A pair of long touchdown passes proved the difference as the Fulton Maroons grounded the host Salmon Arm Golds 27-14 in their final Okanagan senior AA boys varsity football preseason game Friday at Little Mountain Field. Quarterback Tye Kitzman delivered a pair of aerial strikes, sending Caleb McCuaig for a 65-yard score in the second quarter, while Trevor Feeney reeled in a 45-yarder in the third. “Offensively, it was nice to get on track after two sub-par games,” said THE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION BRANCH 25 VERNON Maroons’ head coach Mike Scheller. WILL HOST A “Kitzman has worked very hard in practice and he was on the money with his accuracy Friday. He did a great job of driving our attack.” Tailback Davron Polok jumpstarted the Fulton offence in the first quarter by plunging in from nine yards.

one interception. On the ground, Polok racked up 126 yards on 17 carries, and Max Chapman chipped in with 66 yards on 11 touches. Defensively, Carson Deboer led the Fulton hit parade with eight tackles, with Feeney adding seven, and Sikandar Ahmad and Chapman each supplying five. Buick, Deboer and Darrien Broomfield each collected a sack. “We were very happy as a team to get our first win of the season,” said Scheller. “As a coaching staff, we were happy with the way our kids played. It was a very physical game and it was awesome to hear the pads cracking like they were that night. There were some big hits delivered by both clubs.” Scheller singled out the efforts of Ahmad, a 160-pound defensive end/offensive guard, as his unsung hero. “He is tough as nails. He is a quiet kid who just plays hard and is extremely coachable. He played his guts out Friday on both sides of the ball and deserves a lot of credit.” The Maroons open the regular season Friday against the host Mt. Baker Trojans in Cranbrook. They will stop in Moscow, Idaho on Saturday to watch the University of Idaho Vandals play the Temple Owls of Philadelphia in NCAA Division 1 football. Meanwhile, the Vernon Panthers scored on their first five possessions and then cruised to a 39-6 win over the host Westsdyde Blue Wave in their season opener Friday night in Kamloops. Karson Patommel, who joined the Cats from the Kal Lakers’ program, opened the scoring with a 60-yard scamper on the third play from scrimmage. Tailback Zac Kronbauer followed it up with a 25-yarder, and then hauled in a 15-yard TD reception from QB John Garvie. Back-up tailback Levi Nicholas, who had a game-high 101 yards on five carries, rounded out the first quarter scoring by rambling in from eight yards.

Vernon continues Ryder run Morning Star Staff
Jesse Crowe’s final stint as captain of Team Vernon in the 11th annual Ryder Cup golf showdown with Kelowna will be a memorable one. Crowe, who will switch teams next year now that he is a teaching pro at Two Eagles Golf Course & Academy in Kelowna, carded 13 birdies over 30 holes as he thundered Russ Latimer of Black Mountain in his afternoon singles match in the 11th annual event Thursday at the Vernon Golf & Country Club. “Best I’ve probably ever played there, and I’ve probably played 2,000 rounds there,” said Crowe, who along with Vernon’s Shannon Glenesk is the only pro to compete in all 11 tourneys. Other Vernon pros winning their afternoon singles matches include Hillview’s Keith Vandenbrink, who iced Mike Lowen of Sunset Ranch; AJ Eathorne, a former LPGA pro, now at Predator Ridge, defeated Jason Jarime of Gallagher’s Canyon; Glenesk downed Grant Oben, a rep with Callaway Golf; DJ Szestopalow of Vernon grounded Jon Kaden of Gallagher’s; Spallumcheen’s Kyle Wiebe stopped Bryce McDermott of Kelowna; Spall’s Myles Johnson stuffed Mark Lindsay of the Okanagan Golf Club; and Jeff Wills of The Rise earned the winning point over Chad Scott of the Harvest Golf Club. Team Kelowna held a 3.5 to 2.5 lead over Vernon after the morning’s five best-ball matches, with Crowe, Szestopalow and Vernon’s Justin Baillargeon carding full points, and Brooks Jones (Vernon) and Wiebe counting halves. Vernon holds an 8-3 edge in the annual event, which is scheduled for the Kelowna G&CC next year. Vandenbrink, meanwhile, pocketed $900 for second spot in the Canadian Desert Invitational in Osoyoos last Thursday and Friday. He carded rounds of 72 and 69, earning four birdies and one bogey for the low round on the second day.

Chabot torches Kelowna defence for hat trick Morning Star Staff
Everything Denis Chabot touched Thursday night ended up in the net. The tireless and ageless central midfielder pulled the hat trick as Vernon Kal Tire stuffed Kelowna 3-1 in Okanagan Oldtimers 50+ Soccer League play at Mission 71 Park. Chabot outhustled two defenders and buried a shot from five yards after a sweet cross by defender Ted Sheehan for his first snipe.
Ian Paine equalized for Kelowna off a feed by Ray Heathcote. It was 1-1 at the half. Chabot supplied the winner after central midfielder Jim Sparrow’s 20-yard free kick corker went off the crossbar. Chabot knocked the ball in after Terry Lowe whiffed on the first rebound attempt. Lowe and Felix Heinrich then worked a nifty give-and-go with Chabot heading in the feed from Lowe for insurance. Chabot took the Tolko Man of the
Match with honourable mention going to defender Rob Culos. Defenders Rob Parkin and Jim McEwan were also stellar as second-half keeper Kevin Mitchell only had to make a handful of touches. Kal Tire is 15-6-1 and finish the season next Thursday in a derby match against the Silver Stars, 3-0 losers to host Winfield. Angus McInnes, a 70-something defender, beat Stars’ keeper Dave Gould with a penalty kick off the post.

Vernon’s Tony Stamboulieh, head coach of CounterPunch and vice-president of Boxing B.C., organized the camp, which included early-morning runs, strength and conditioning, bag work and sparring. Other training locations included Breakaway Fitness, Ellison Provincial Park and Marshall Field. The B.C. team left Friday for Alberta where they will compete at the Golden Gloves provincial tournament as part of its general preparation for nationals in October.
Cats slam Westsyde Continued from A22
“We were firing on all cylinders from the opening whistle,” said Panther head coach Sean Smith. “It was nice to get our passing game going. Garvie (6-for-10, 60 yards, 1 TD) made the right reads and found the open receivers and had good protection.” Patommel scored from 10 yards out to make it 33-0 going into the break. Kronbauer picked off an errant Westsyde pass on the first drive of the second half, taking it 45 yards to the end zone. Westsyde responded with a touchdown on a long bomb. “While we played a pretty solid game, there are number things that need to be cleaned
up in practice this week if we are going to improve,” said Smith. “We were called for a number of penalties which would have hurt us in a closer game. We also have to tighten up our extra point protection.” Smith was pleased to get some injured players back in the lineup for some added depth at the skill possessions. Nicholas was one of those players, and he looked great on both sides of the ball, said Smith. Defensively, Pattomel and Travis Froom led all tacklers with four apiece. Wade Buller added three tackles, two of them for losses. The Panthers host Westsyde Saturday, at noon, at Grahame Park.

However, a couple of missed defensive assignments led to goals 80 seconds apart by Troy Maclise and Bradley Williams, who tied the game with 1:42 to go in the second frame. “They were goals that we allowed to happen, versus them creating it,” said Webb, who credited netminder Zach Dyment (34 saves) for getting the team at least one point. “From the time we were 3-3, Zach made five or six ridiculous saves. The fact we went to overtime was on the
play of Zach Dyment. “We were in a position where we could have took that game and ran with it. Instead, we let our foot up.” Vernon forward Cole Woodliffe was called up for action Friday, and Webb expected forward Jagger Williamson, another Vernon minor hockey product, to play Saturday as the Knights hosted the 0-3 Revelstoke Grizzlies at Nor-Val.

Scooter regulations shot down tom fletcher Black Press
A bid by the town of Sidney to regulate the use of mobility scooters on sidewalks was rejected in a split vote by local politicians Wednesday. On the advice of the executive, delegates to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention voted to drop a request for provincial licensing of sidewalk scooters, and to exclude motorized wheelchairs from any restrictions. But a majority of delegates voted against any kind of regulation. Larry Cross Sidney Mayor Larry Cross urged support, telling delegates there has been one fatality in his community, and two “serious rollovers” this past summer as scooters shared sidewalks with pedestrians. “We’re kind of the canary in the mine in terms of the aging population, and the incidents and conflicts can only grow over time,” Cross said. Other council members were unimpressed. “If you have a problem with your sidewalks and people are rolling over, maybe you need to fix the sidewalks,” said Langley Township councillor Bob Long. “There are motorized bicycles, so is that the next thing, we’re going to license bicycles?” Sidney councillor Melissa Hailey said the community has “wonderful sidewalks,” but education and some regulation is needed. “There is no real legislation or any ability to deal with unsafe scootering on our sidewalks,” Hailey said. “Drinking and scootering is very hard to enforce.” Nelson councillor Robin Cherbo said some solution is needed. His community has narrow sidewalks and some scooter users take to the roadway, without flags or lights. Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski was opposed,
after talking with scooter and wheelchair users in his community. Saanich councillor Vic Derman agreed that scooter users and pedestrians need education, but communities should focus on local improvements to give scooter users more safe routes.

Local politicians voted Thursday to ask the B.C. government for authority to bring back photo radar, but only to police school zones. Delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention backed the proposal from Penticton council, after changing the name to “speed cameras” to avoid the stigma of an unpopular provincewide speed enforcement program ended by the B.C. Liberal government in 2001. Penticton Mayor Garry Litke said the issue was taken on after a girl had her feet run over by a speeding car in a school zone. Speed bumps aren’t appropriate for school zones that are only in effect 20 per cent of the time, and police don’t have enough staff to monitor school zones, Litke said. The resolution asks for municipalities to have the option of installing speed cameras where speeding is a problem, and ability to impose a “significant fine as a deterrent,” he said. Thompson Nicola Regional District director Ken Gillis, a lawyer and former truck driver, called photo radar “big brotherism at its very worst,” imposing fines without the ability to contest the ticket in case of a machine malfunction. Duncan councillor Tom Duncan, a long-time ICBC employee, said “there is no doubt that photo radar cameras reduce the speed where they are deployed, and we have to support this to save lives.” Nelson councillor Robin Cherbo said communi-

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Much that unfolds during this cycle of shifting trends will be due to the way you have handled your personal dealings. Don’t overreact when what’s required is honesty and practicality. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Let your emotions flow and your imagination take over. How you present yourself to others will be especially vital. Push yourself to achieve positive, fulfilling results. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Progressive action could lead to many different outcomes. It will improve your personal situation, but it may cost you a friendship. Weigh the consequences carefully before you leap forward. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You can solidify a deal or develop a better working relationship with someone you love as long as you aren’t pushy. Compromise and looking out for the other guy will be crucial to your success. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Talk over your current position and the way you would like to see things unfold. Don’t make concessions to avoid controversy. Put whatever isn’t working behind you so you can move forward. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Take on a challenge and react to change as it happens. Going with the current will help you get the most return with the least work. A personal involvement appears to be improving. ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may have trouble making up your mind when it comes to certain relationships, but your
heart will lead you in the right direction if you listen to it. A misunderstanding can cost you emotionally. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Don’t fall for it if someone tries to coerce you into an argument. Take a backseat and assess the situation before making a decision that is premature and potentially costly. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Share your ideas with someone you have worked with in the past or would like to form a partnership with in the future. Putting together a sound plan will improve matters. CANCER (June 21-July 22) A work development will boost your reputation and put you in the running for a position that could improve your lifestyle. A celebration will lead to love and romance. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Proceed with caution. Your emotions will be difficult to control, and someone is likely to push you into an unwanted dispute if you aren’t careful. Change may be necessary.
Hormones Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder STEP FROM TRICK ONE TO TRICK FOUR Henny Youngman said, “I bet on a horse at 10 to one. It didn’t come in until half-past five.” Bridge defenders must time getting the tricks that they need to defeat the contract before the declarer has won the number that he requires. In this deal, the defenders require five tricks to beat three spades. West leads the heart ace. What should happen after that? West doubled on the second round to show five hearts, four diamonds and extra values. (To bid three diamonds would have guaranteed a five-card suit.) North raised spades to indicate a promising hand,
but South had nothing to spare, and those three low hearts were a warning bell. Under the heart ace, East signals with his 10, starting a high-low (echo) with a doubleton. Now West can see four defensive tricks via the spade ace and three top hearts, but where is the fifth winner? Next, West should consider the high-card points. After checking the dummy and his hand, he sees there are only 11 points missing. South must have most or all of them for his advance at the twolevel, which I think should be forcing by an unpassed hand. If East and West cannot get another side-suit trick, they must collect a second trump trick. West should cash the
heart king to confirm East’s doubleton, then shift to his singleton club. South will win in his hand and play a trump, but West takes the trick and continues with his heart two, the lowest card being a suit-preference signal. East ruffs and returns a club, which West ruffs for down one.

Volunteer work can help restore purpose
ne of the many aspects of ageing and retirement is that we sometimes feel we no longer are of value or have a meaningful purpose in life. On one hand it is wonderful to feel we can come and go as we please, or do what we want when we want to do it, but having a lack of purpose can also provoke some emotional responses of depression and malaise, a dissatisfaction with who we are now and who we once
were. It is something we all have to work out but one avenue to explore is becoming a volunteer with one of the many valued and valuable organizations in this community. Last week I got a call from Bobbe MacKenzie from the Upper Room Mission in Vernon asking if I could help them find seniors to volunteer at the Mission. She also wanted me to remind all seniors of the many benefits they receive from taking on

any volunteer job no matter what age you are. It restores our feelings of worthiness, of purpose, of usefulness and self respect while giving a hand up to someone who can really use it at this time. The Upper Room Mission works with people who are down on their luck, by providing a safe, respectful place and by helping them to find the right
resources to change their lives if they wish to do so, and many people have turned their lives around. Also the Mission would not be here and so successful if it were not for the volunteers who make up 90 per cent of the workforce. If you are interested or want more information call 250549-1231 or check out their Web site at www. vernonurm.org. If the Mission doesn’t appeal to you as a place to volunteer there are many other organizations that need seniors to help out and you can find your place in one of them. All you have to do is call the Vernon and District Volunteer Bureau and
talk to them at 250545-0585 or check out their Web site at www. volunteervernon.ca. By helping others we really do help ourselves. The Meals-onWheels program is now up and running at the Schubert Centre, with more than 45 people using this service. Fresh meals consisting of soup or salad, entrée and dessert are delivered to those who are on limited income or have disability issues, three times a week for $6 per meal. This is a great service and badly needed since Interior Health cut this program a few years ago. Kudos to the Schubert Centre and all the volunteers involved.

The session, Advance Care Planning: the importance of having the difficult conversations, will be conducted by Elizabeth Causton, MSW, who has worked in this field for more than 40 years, with 14 of those years spent as a clinical counselor

You don’t need to be Scottish to enjoy the fun Morning Star Staff
When it began in 1876, the Sons of Scotland Benevolent Association provided Scottish immigrants with financial support and the opportunity to meet other people from home. Since then, the association has expanded both its role and locations, with branches from Montreal to Victoria. The local branch, Kildonnan Camp #166, opened in 1949. “The Sons of Scotland continues to provide financial services to its members, present opportunities to socialize with
people who celebrate Scottish culture and heritage, and actively encourage all its members to participate in events supporting charitable organizations,” said Terry Muir, chief of Kildonnan Camp. In British Columbia, the Sons of Scotland’s charity of choice is the B.C. branch of the Kidney Foundation of Canada. “Kildonnan Camp has been especially active in the Okanagan area by hosting Highland dancing competitions, supporting local Scottish activities, and suc-
cessfully raising funds in support of the Kidney Foundation,” said Muir. To find out more, stop by the Sons’ annual open house, Monday from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Army, Navy and Air Force Club’s “Hangar,” 2500-46th Ave. “We’ll have refreshments, Highland dancing and plenty of old-fashioned Scottish hospitality,” said Muir. “Everyone is welcome, and you don’t have to be Scottish to enjoy the fun.” For more information, call Muir at 250542-0437 or see www.sonsofscotland.com.

Green MLA pans fee for Hydro meters jeff nagel Black Press
BC Hydro’s planned fee of $35 a month for people who continue to refuse wireless smart meters is “outrageous” and isn’t justified based on what other jurisdictions charge, according to B.C.’s lone Green Party MLA. Andrew Weaver (Oak Bay-Gordon Head) said the proposed charge for manual meter readings is as high as many people’s entire power bills. “People perceive it as price gouging,” he said, adding the fees should accurately reflect Hydro costs and not generate extra profit.” California charges $10 a month after a $75 up-
front fee, while low-income customers pay $5 a month after a $10 initial fee. Maine charges $12 a month for analog meter readings, after a $40 initial charge. BC Hydro’s fees still require approval by the B.C. Utilities Commission. Weaver said he’s urging the regulators to reject the $35 fee here based on the disparity with charges elsewhere. Holdouts here can also opt to take a smart meter with the transmitter disabled for a $100 one-time fee followed by $20 each month. Maine’s radio-disabled smart meter option costs $20 up front then $10.50 a month.

News District requires building permits
Morning Star Staff
There’s been a marked increase in the number of illegal building projects underway in the Regional District of Central Okanagan. So far this year, RDCO has placed stop work orders on 27 construction projects it has found underway in the Central Okanagan East and Central Okanagan West electoral areas. Central Okanagan West includes the North Westside.
“In many cases, it’s simply the oversight by the property owner, who has undertaken the work themselves,” said Bruce Smith, with RDCO. Building permits are required for construction and renovations of any structure, including fireplace installations, sewer systems, fences and outbuildings and inspections are required to approve various stages of construction. The fees for building permits range according to

Generations of young people have looked forward to the new Scouting year each fall. Whether they are long-term Scouts or are just starting out, it’s a time to think about old and new friends, learning new things and having new adventures. “There are Scouting programs for youth ages five to 26, with leadership when they are older. There are more than 200 participants in our area with 89 adult volunteer leaders,” said Margaret McGillivray, North Okanagan Service Team, Scouts Canada. “People can join at any age and there are so many interests they can follow, from the traditional outdoor activities and teamwork and leadership to setting their own goals with projects in art, computers, cooking, sports, or whatever they choose. Scouts can work towards the Duke of Edinburgh Awards if they want.” McGillivray, like many leaders, was not a Scout herself but got involved when her son was in the program. “A lot of adults also get a lot out of the program, learning and doing things that they might not do otherwise. I know it helped me with public speaking and using the computer and my husband, Jim, cooks for camps and jamborees, so we have been able to meet people from all across Canada,” she said. Erik Haselhorst, Sixth Vernon Group Scouts Canada, got interested in Scouts when his son was a member. “I liked the programs and I got active leading camping, hiking, climbing and in teaching the natural history of the area. Being in Scouts can be a life-changing experience. My son went to a summer highadventure camp and got interested in river rafting and went on to represent Canada at international rafting competitions as an adult,” he said. “Scouts have been involved in environmental activities for a long time with programs like tree planting at Kekuli Bay, Ellison Park and Fintry and creek clean-up.” Elizabeth Abrahamsen, popcorn coordinator, Cascadia Council North Okanagan Scouts Canada, is another parent who got involved and stayed after her son left Scouts. “The young people — Scouts has been co-ed for about 20 years — gain so much self esteem and the adults who take the leadership training say they gain a lot from it as well,” she said. “Another thing that means a lot to all parents is that the program is not too costly

Scouting has been providing opportunities for outdoor pursuits to Vernon youth since 1913 — registration is on now for boys and girls to join the fun. for them. We have fundraisers to cover many of the costs of equipment and supplies and the young people learn by taking part in the fundraisers. I love everything about Scouts so much that I’ve stayed with it for 35 years.” McGillivray said that being a leader is a commitment of time and energy but she’s glad to do it. “I like it when young men and women come up to me in the street and say, ‘I remember you from Scouts.’” Scouting also provides opportunities to meet other Scouts from around the world and to take part in international service, like building schools in needy countries. Closer to home, groups have done activities like planning and preparing for a successful hike of the West Coast Trail and making and learning to paddle their own kayaks. Youth with physical or mental challenges are welcome to join Scouting. There is partial financial assistance available for anyone who wants to join, in accordance with the motto, “No one left behind.” Look for the popcorn sales locally in November. Scouting registration is on now. For more information about taking part in Scouts or being a leader, contact 250-545-4922 or northokanaganscouts@telus.net.

A look at Japanese Canadian pioneers LAKE COUNTRY — The Lake Country Heritage and Cultural Society is pleased to host Remembering and Redress: The Japanese Canadian experience in Lake Country. Today’s lecture by Dr. Audrey Kobayashi of Queen’s University will present the history of the Japanese Canadian pioneers of Lake Country from their arrival in the early 1900s through their experiences during the Second World War. Kobayashi, who was born and grew up in Okanagan Centre, will present an account of the pioneer families, the effects of the war on the Issei (first generation) and Nissei (second generation), and the Canadian government’s redress and apology. Prior to the Second World War,
22,000 Japanese Canadians lived in British Columbia; 3/4 of them were naturalized citizens or second or third generation Canadians. During the war, more than 21,000 living within 100 miles of the B.C. coast were forcibly removed from their homes and sent to internment camps. After the war, 3,964 were deported to Japan; 1/3 of them were Canadian citizens. On Sept. 22, 1988, the Japanese Canadian Redress Agreement was signed in the House of Commons. Prime Minister Brian Mulroney acknowledged the government’s wrongful actions during the war and pledged to ensure that the events would never recur. He officially recognized the loyalty of the Japanese Canadians to Canada and, as a symbolic redress for injustices,
the government offered individual and community compensation to the Japanese Canadians. In 1997, on behalf of Japanese Canadians, the Canadian government created the Canadian Race Relation Foundation, designed to foster racial harmony and help to eliminate racism. Kobayashi is a professor and Queen’s research chair in the Department of Geography. She was a member of the team that negotiated the Japanese Canadian Redress Agreement in 1988. Her lecture takes place today at 1:30 p.m. at the Creekside Theatre, 10241 Bottom Wood Lake Rd., Winfield. Admission is by donation; doors open at 1 p.m. For more information, call 250-766-0111 or e-mail info@ lakecountrymuseum.com.

It takes a community to make a film Local filmmaker Randy Kirk is taking the camera by the horns, so to speak, to film projects in and around Vernon Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
The news of Hollywood stars hiding somewhere in the North Okanagan filming the giant Disney film production of Tomorrowland was on just about everyone’s radar. No doubt, considering George Clooney was one of those stars. However, seeing the camera, sets, lights and bustle of filmmaking is really nothing new to the Okanagan, considering how many independent filmmakers there are that call this area home. The only difference is that most of them do it for the sheer love of the craft, and unlike Hollywood, they don’t get much compensation for what they put out. Randy Kirk can relate. The Vernon resident, who works by day as a computer technician at Kal Tire, has always had a passion for film and writing, and he has been indulging in those pursuits for the past six years. “I love this community of filmmakers in the Valley. There is less red tape and bureaucracy in getting projects done and this year I have worked with great, enthusiastic people,” he said. Kirk’s foray into filmmaking came at a catalyst in his life. “I had been writing screenplays and always had ideas for movies in my head, but had nothing published yet,” he said. “I had put my writing on the back burner while I was married and my son was young, but in 2007 I had a heart procedure, so I made a bucket list. The first thing was to be an extra on a major motion picture.” Kirk crossed that item off his list

William tims (bottom left), ryan Kirk, and Brian taylor prepare the cameras for a night shoot of Justice Park, currently being filmed in Vernon. when he worked on the 2008 TV mini series of Michael Crichton’s Andromeda Stain, filmed in Savona west of Kamloops. The second thing on the list was to finish a screenplay. Kirk has recently ticked that one off by writing a TV pilot, titled Justice Park, that he is currently filming in and around Vernon. The storyline revolves around a down-and-out police officer who stumbles across a crime, which brings him out of his depression. The film features an all-local cast and crew, including Brian Taylor of En Queue Film. Taylor, who is also one of The Morning Star’s film reviewers, has used Kirk as a crew member on two of his film projects, Garf Garf and Battle at Beaver Creek, and
in turn has been operating one of the cameras on Justice Park, which Kirk says he hopes to shop to TV networks, or try to get funding for a web series. “I wanted to shoot it in Vernon and showcase the town. I love it here and grew up here. Kelowna is already on the map for film, and I want to show those in the industry that we have incredible talent to do it here,” he said. Kirk has also started his own production company, One Inch Punch Productions, which he runs with his son, Ryan, a business school graduate. “He is the producer and is more media savvy than me. He also connects better with young people,” said Kirk, adding he got the name for the company from the movies
he used to sneak into at Vernon’s old Skyway Drive-in theatre. “I used to sneak to the back of the fence to watch the Bruce Lee films. It was him that came up with the one-inch punch, meaning that you can do anything if you focus enough energy on one thing; you can accomplish so much.” Kirk also credits his former W.L. Seaton Secondary School science and physical education teacher Peter Bossons, who died in August, as being a mentor to him. “He was someone that made a difference in my life and helped make me the person I am today,” said Kirk. That influence is evident as Kirk continues to fight for what he is passionate about. In April, he sold his truck to invest in film equipment and bought a camera, microphones, and cables. Kirk also built his own camera crane, which has already been used on a number of projects. “The only thing is that I now need people to drive me around,” he laughed. The camera crane came in handy earlier this summer when Kirk worked on a winning video entered into a contest called “Dewmocracy,” held by Mountain
Dew Canada to advertise its new product, Voltage. The video, called Rise of the Storm, was the brainchild of teenage Lake Country filmmakers Erik Madsen and Wynden Danylowich, who asked Kirk and Ryan to help them on the project. The video shows a young man driving a “beater” along a road, who transforms after a bolt of lightning brings him the beverage. “His clothes change, his car changes and he drives off with the girl,” said Kirk, who besides operating the crane with Ryan and another volunteer, Jason Kimble, helped with framing some of the shots. The video caught the attention of the company and viewers, and earned Madsen and Danylowich one percent of Voltage net sales over the next two years. “We had so much fun doing that,” said Kirk, adding he hopes to get more work out of it. “We use it as a demo reel for businesses to see what kind of work we do, and hopefully we will get some sponsorship for future projects.” And if all goes according to plan, expect to see more lights, cameras and action happening in what Kirk hopes will become “Hollywood, North Okanagan.”

harsh realities of 1960s Canada, the callous and cruel racism and the soul destroying effects of cultural alienation and displacement. And it all unfolds against the stark beauty of Northern Ontario, all rock, marsh, bog and cedar. This October also marks a different kind of hockey and literary milestone. It is the 30th anniversary of the release of The Game (1983), a timeless classic work of nonfiction by the former great Montreal Canadiens goalie Ken Dryden. The book, widely acknowledged as perhaps the best nonfiction hockey book ever written and lauded by Sports Illustrated as one of the top 10 sports books of all time, transports you to the heart and soul of the game. It includes vivid and affectionate portraits of the team’s characters—Guy Lafleur, Larry Robinson, Guy Lapointe, Serge Savard and coach Scotty Bowman among them—that made the Canadiens of the 1970s one of the greatest hockey teams to ever face off in history. But what sets the book apart is that Dryden also reflects on life on the road, in the

spotlight and on the ice to produce a work that offers you a singular, inside look at the game of hockey. The latest edition, published in 2005, includes blackand-white photographs and a new chapter by the author. Coincidentally, during the same month in 1983 another accomplished Canadian writer, Roy MacGregor, published The Last Season, hailed at the time as the best novel ever written about our national game. Felix Batteriinski, the protagonist of the novel, grew up in Northern Ontario, where hockey provided one of the few avenues of escape from a live of grinding poverty. But Felix escaped and eventually cracked the Philadelphia Flyer lineup as an enforcer. The seasons passed and Felix, now in his 30s and at the end of his playing career, decides to accept a position as playercoach of a Finnish hockey team. When a controversial play destroys his comeback, Felix comes face to face with his obsolescence and tragically descends into disillusion and despair. Cold-cocked: On Hockey (2007) by talented West Coast author, professor and born-again hockey aficionado Lorna Jackson is a sardonic, passionate nonfiction work about hockey written with a sportswriter’s energy and discipline and the wit and cynical eye of a cultural critic. It explores the game of hockey —once called by poet Al Purdy. “a
combination of ballet and murder”— through the eyes and heart of a woman. The author, unlike most other authors of hockey books, pays her own money to watch hockey. And the book, deadly serious and urgent at times, is a timely reminder that it is the fans that own the game and ultimately will determine its fate. The Antagonist (2011) is a sharply written, fiercely funny novel by acclaimed Canadian author Lynn Coady. The book, shortlisted for the Giller Prize two years ago, tells the tale of Gordon Rankin, “Rank” to his friends, a hulking player cast as a goon by his classmates, hockey coaches and especially his own tiny, bitter father. Rank, who actually fears his own strength, gamely lives up to this role until tragedy strikes. Rank disappears —the only way he knows how to escape— and almost 20 years later he discovers Adam, an old trusted friend, has published a novel mirroring his own life. He is cut to the quick by the betrayal, but through a series of unanswered emails to Adam that covers his early years in small town Canada and his aborted college career, the exgoon finally confronts the tragic true story he’s spent his entire life running away from. In short, he needs to tear himself apart before he can put the pieces back together. — The books previewed in this column are all available at your Okanagan Regional Library, www.orl.bc.ca.

Insidiousness never rests insidious: Chapter Two
I
n 2010 the Lambert family suffered a supernatural crisis when eldest son Dalton,
(Ty Simpkins) having fallen into a coma, became a passageway for an evil spirit to return Taylor and Howe to life. When dad, Josh (Patrick Wilson), reluctantly agreed to allow psychic Elise (Lin Shaye) to help him hypnotically transport to the nightmare realm holding Dalton prisoner, he was able to rescue his son and return them both safely to a normal existence. But Josh and Dalton Lambert didn’t return alone. Insidious: Chapter Two allows the seed of the evil befallen the Lambert family to grow to mysterious fruition. Via flashback to the ‘80s when Josh was a boy dealing with his own supernatural problems, the insidious evil is given a face, a name and a history. The only question is, “Do you want to know it?” We say, “If you’re gonna see Insidious 3, you might as well see this one.” TAYLOR: I saw the first film. I thought it was all right. It had some better-than-average creepiness. This film was both more interesting and less scary than the first. Where the first film showed you some ugly old lady with too much

This might sound like a good thing for a horror movie. It is and it isn’t. The direction the story takes by explaining the inter-connectivity of the characters is very
interesting, but it takes away from the other-worldliness and puts the Lambert family in more immediate danger: Namely, trying not to be killed by Josh Lambert. HOWE: I really enjoyed it. I thought director James Wan did a very good job on this. He made it feel like an ‘80s style horror (think Poltergeist, journeying into another
realm.) I’ve said it before, I’d rather watch something like this, which gives you goosebumps on the back of your neck, rather than some deranged killer chasing and hacking teenagers to death with a Dremel. TAYLOR: I saw the film surrounded by teenagers, which is the best way for a critic to see a horror film. Nothing is better for gauging the success of scares than a scream-o-metre. Unfortunately, the screamo-metre score for Insidious: Chapter Two is low. Worse yet is the fact that kids were laughing at the film. They weren’t laughing at jokes, nor laughing at themselves for being scared, this was mocking the film for being bad. There were moments of bad acting and bad writing. HOWE: Sometimes that has to be overlooked. You have to ask yourself, did the overall movie succeed in what it was meant to do? It did, a little. The bad guy/lady was beautifully made up and looked even scarier than someone or something in a mask. I would have given this a little bit of a higher score, but after watching The Conjuring a few weeks ago, it would take something really special to get close to reaching that bar. — Taylor give Insidious: Chapter Two 2 tin can telephones out of 5. — Howe gives it 3.5 dice out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Let’s hear it for the boys Lights of Broadway is looking for males for its staging of Footloose Morning Star Staff
The Lights of Broadway is looking for the next Kevin Bacon or Chris Penn for its staging of Footloose, the musical. The musical theatre school, which operates out of the Vernon Community Music School, is led by Charity Van Gameren, who is holding private auditions for the Broadway play, based on the ‘80s classic film. “We are looking for guys between the ages of 13 and 21 who can sing and have the ability to follow and learn choreographed dance routines,” said Van Gameren, adding she also needs one male, aged 30 to 50, to fill in one role. “They must be able to sing.” Footloose is Lights of Broadway’s 14th annual spring production, following its successful presentation of Hairspray in May. “(Footloose) is one of the most explosive movie musicals in recent memory that will burst onto the live stage with exhilarating results,” said
Van Gameren. “It celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, and guiding them with a young heart and open mind.” The cast will be jumping to the rockin’ rhythms of Footloose’s Oscar and Tony nominated Top 40 score, which includes two number-one hits, Kenny Loggins’ Footloose and Deniece Williams’ Let’s Hear It for the Boy, as well as Almost Paradise, a duet by Ann Wilson of Heart and Mike Reno of Loverboy. Along with the excitement of announcing Footloose, Van Gameren says she is equally thrilled to announce her full studio will be putting on a Christmas extravaganza at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Dec. 13. Christmas Around the World will bring, for one night only, music and dance from different parts of the world. “It’s a magical storytelling of the nations and their traditions during this beautiful time of year,” said Van Gameren, adding tickets for the Christmas show will go on sale at the Ticket Seller box office in the VPAC in mid-November. In the meantime, those gents wishing to set up an audition for Footloose can e-mail Van Gameren at cjvangameren@yahoo.ca

Theatre hosts annual lantern fest Morning Star Staff
Enderby’s Runaway Moon Theatre and the Lower Shuswap Stewardship Society is inviting the public to join them for the annual Floating Lantern Celebration, which will take place at nightfall, Sept. 29 (World Rivers Day) by the bridge in Enderby. The theme behind the Floating Lantern C elebration is “Calendario.” “This is the title of our ongoing community art project, through which we are encouraging people to note the timing and order of events which take place in nature around us,” said Lark Lindholm, Runaway Moon’s new general manager. “This will help us to imagine and make a new form of calendar that is cyclical, and specific to this valley.” Those who already have a lantern should plan to arrive by 6 p.m. for the lighting ceremony. Those wishing to make a lantern can attend a workshop at the Splatsin Health Centre, Thursday, Sept. 26 from 9 a.m. to noon or drop by the Enderby Visitors Information Centre on Lantern Float Day, Sept. 29 from 1 to 4 p.m. “We are also looking for paddlers (canoes, kayaks, boats) to guide the lanterns. Drummers, bring your drums for prefloat merriment,” said
Lindholm. “This will be an exciting and memorable experience for all.”

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist kyle brewer
Did you know that our bodies contain about 10 trillion human cells. Coexisting with these cells are bacterial cells numbering 100 trillion. These bacterial cells are called the “microbiome” of the body and play important roles in digestion, skin health and our immune system. bacteria aren’t all bad. The total fertility rate in Canada in 2011 was 1.61. This is the average number of children per woman. The lowest rate was in b.C. at 1.42 while the highest was in Nunavut at 2.97. Drug researchers are still looking to nature to find ways to treat common diseases. Gout for example affects about 2% of Canadians over the age of 50. The humble cherry might be a source of relief. There is something in cherries that helps decrease the amount of uric acid in the body. Uric acid build-up is associated with the pain and swelling well-known to those with gout. electronic cigarettes have not been okayed for sale in Canada. They vapourize pure nicotine to satisfy the smoker’s urge for the nicotine high. However, there is no evidence of the long term safety of inhaling nicotine and the risk of addition is always a possibility. For now, those wanting to stop smoking can use other forms of nicotine replacement. Our pharmacists can help. Our pharmacists will be happy to talk to your about smoking cessation. As well as having the will to quit and a way of replacing the nicotine you won’t be getting from smoking, good counseling is also really important. we can help.

Valley First volunteers Morning Star Staff
Valley First employees are saying goodbye to their offices and hello to volunteering as they team with local nonprofit agencies throughout the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson regions during their inaugural Valley First Make a Difference Days. Until Sept. 29, up to 100 Valley First employees will take part in the volunteer service event, spending time working alongside local non-profits and helping to fulfill project and volunteer needs in the community. This year, the Valley First team is lending its employees and their expertise to organizations including local food banks, the Okanagan Boys & Girls Clubs and Raise-aReader. “Our goal at Valley First is to make a meaningful difference in the financial lives of our members and in our local communities,” said Valley First’s Christa Phillips. “Through our Make a Difference Days, we’re giving our employees a chance to make an even bigger impact in their local area. “We partner with so many terrific, likeminded organizations throughout the year. Make a Difference Days is a natural extension of our community outreach. It also allows us to share our passion for strengthening our communities with partners that share a common vision and desire to make a positive change.”

Cottonwood Bridal on the mend Graeme Corbett Business Editor
The Spruce Meadows Masters might be better suited for bridle wear rather than bridal wear, but Vernon’s Nicole Nichols is grateful to have attended all the same. Nichols is one of three partners operating a pair of Cottonwood Bridal & Formals stores in Vernon and High River, Alta. The latter was destroyed in the devastating June floods that swept across the southern part of the province. As a goodwill gesture to assist the company in its recovery, Telus and Spruce Meadows Masters, which is a prominent international show jumping event, sponsored Cottonwood as an exhibitor at the event earlier this month in Calgary. “It was a little bit of a strange atmosphere to have bridal wear there, but lots of people came in and were interested,” said Nichols, who set up her boutique inside a glasswalled pavilion on the showgrounds. “There’s people there from all over the world. I don’t know if it’s the perfect event for us to be at, but any exposure is good exposure at this time. “It was just to get them some exposure and show people they’re still around and that they didn’t go down with the water. “Being a former rider myself, it was pretty cool just being there.” This year’s floods are the worst in Alberta’s history, and High River, which is nestled beside the Highwood
River, was one of the worst hit. A total of 32 states of local emergency were declared and 28 emergency operations centres were activated as water levels rose and numerous communities were placed under evacuation orders. Four people were confirmed dead as a direct result of the flooding and more than 100,000 people were displaced throughout the region. Like many businesses in the town, Cottonwood Bridal lost its storefront, and much of its inventory. The company specializes in wedding dresses, formal wear and business wear, as well as tuxedo rentals. “It happened on a Sunday and they literally had 15 minutes and the water was up to their tires,” said Nichols. “It was definitely a flash flood. “The only thing they were able to save were the wedding gowns ordered by clients.” The High River store was taken over by Nichols’ partners in 2009, and she has been operating the Vernon location (2904-B 32nd Street), across from the Century 21 building, for a year. With the High River store closed for the past three months, Nichols said it has been a challenge to keep things running smoothly. “I’m the only store running right now. They were trying to run it out of one of the girl’s houses, but you can imagine what that’s like, with people coming and going and phone calls. “There were a lot of forwarding

Vernon’s Nicole Nichols rubs shoulders with the show jumping world as she hosts an exhibit for Cottonwood bridal & Formals at the Spruce meadows masters in Calgary. calls to me from clients and bridesto-be, wondering when the store’s opening. It’s been tricky.” However, the High River location has moved into a new tempo-
rary structure and is in the midst of a grand re-opening celebration. Nichols said the Vernon store is also having a sale until Sept. 28 to help the promotion.
Contempra cements presence in B.C. market Morning Star Staff
A scant two years after its launch in Canada, a new cement type that results in 10 per cent lower CO2 emissions is rapidly becoming the standard for most new concrete construction projects in B.C. The B.C. cement industry reports that Contempra now accounts for nearly 50 per cent of the domestic cement consumed in the province. This rate will accelerate as more developers and builders specify the carbon-reduced cement for their new projects. The rate of conversion to Contempra-based concrete to date in B.C. means an estimated 23,000 tons of greenhouse gases (GHGs) will be taken out of the atmosphere annually. That is the equivalent to saving 9,760,000 litres of gasoline, or not burning 9,800 tonnes of coal.
“Contempra is a shining example of the cement industry’s continued commitment to innovation and to lowering our collective environmental footprint,” said Michael McSweeney, president of the Cement Association of Canada. “We are delighted with the market’s enthusiastic response and with the tremendous strides both Lafarge and Lehigh Hanson have made in establishing this lower carbon cement as the cement of choice in British Columbia.” Contempra further reduces the environmental footprint of concrete structures, which, according to life cycle assessment studies conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of B.C., is already lower than that of those constructed with other building materials, thanks to concrete’s durability and the energy efficiency benefits of its thermal mass.
“When you combine the use of Contempra with the innate thermal abilities of concrete, which save consumers money in heating and cooling, and with the durability and long life of concrete, it is easy to see that concrete is the building material of choice for those who are concerned with cleaner air, energy efficiency and of course safety,” added McSweeney. Among the Contempra projects already completed, or underway, in B.C. are the Arthur Erickson Building, the Wall Centre False Creek Development and ONNI’s Evelyn master-planned community, all in Vancouver, as well as other condominium, commercial and institutional projects throughout the province. The lower carbon cement is manufactured by Lafarge at its Richmond cement plant, and by Lehigh Hanson at its Delta plant.

f you plan on selling your business to someone outside your family, there are several strategies available to minimize tax from the sale – many of which allow you to claim the capital gains exemption to reduce taxes. Selling shares versus assets – One of your most critical decisions is whether to sell your business shares or your business assets. This is because the capital gains exemption can only be claimed on capital gains resulting from the sale of business shares – not from the sale of business assets. If your prospective purchaser is interested in the shares, make sure that your shares will qualify for the exemption. To qualify, at least 90 per cent of your business assets should be active assets used in your day-to-day business activiKirbey Lockhart ties at the time of the sale. Assets such as investment portfolios, which are not used in day-to-day business activities, are considered non-active. Purifying your shares by converting non-active assets into active assets, or by moving non-active assets out of your company can help get you above the 90 per cent threshold, if required. If your prospective purchaser would be interested in the shares, but your business is not currently incorporated, consider doing so in advance of the sale to take advantage of the capital gains tax exemption. If your prospective purchaser is only interested in purchasing your business assets, not your shares, consider asking for a higher price to compensate for the additional tax that you will likely incur from losing the exemption. There are many other strategies to help minimize tax on the sale of your business. Here are just a few: Make a charitable gift – Consider using some of the sale proceeds to make a charitable gift

Vernon • Salmon Arm
Garage Sales Aug 4, 2004 - Sept 17, 2013 KHI was our sweet beautiful dog for 7 of his amazing 9 years after we met him at the Kelowna SPCA and fell instantly in love. At one point we did try to change his name to “Velcro” as he was always by the side of one of us. His unconditional love helped our family through some tough times, and he has always been the glue, knowing when one of us needed a hug. He asked of only two things from his family: a daily walk to Creekside dog park and loving. His unexpected passing has devastated us, as up until the day he died, he was so healthy that most people in passing thought he was still a pup. He loved to play many games with us: mini-sticks, speaking in his silly malamute voice, hanging out on the farm, and his most wonderful snuggles. Khi, thank you for being a part of our lives’ —you will never be forgotten. Loving you always with memories and sadness your family: Mommy, Daddy, Lydia, and Lucas.
