Ploughing Away LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

Vintage tractors compete in the 37th annual North Okanagan Ploughing Match Saturday morning on the Mckechnie’s farm on Lansdowne Road near Armstrong. Ploughing newcomer Alyssa Cooke (right), 16, gets some pointers from the owner of the horses, Atone Enzing, and plough expert Ted Giesbrecht. Dennis Ryan (bottom right), of Westwold and president of the Spallumcheen Ploughing Association, uses a walking plough behind his percherons as he competes in the match. Ellen Hockley, of Pritchard, sits on her sulky plough behind her Norwegian Fjords.

Kids rally for cancer cure Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

With long locks flowing down his back, Sam Burke has been mistaken for a girl on a number of occasions. “Waitresses think he’s a girl,” said mom Sheila Chatten of her 15-year-old son. Sam adds: “It’s annoying.” Sam, a Vernon Secondary student, hasn’t cut his hair since Grade 7. He has been growing it out ever since so he can donate it to cancer patients who have lost their hair through treatment. “Originally I just didn’t want to cut my hair so she (my mom) came up with the idea,” said Sam. And Sam’s younger sister, Sydnee, has also been growing her hair out for the cause. Together, the siblings will have their hair cut at the CIBC Run for the Cure at Clarence Fulton Secondary Sunday morning, after which they will take part in the run. Sydnee, 10, loves her “fabulous” hair but is look-

ing forward to having people cheer her on as she supports the cause. Meanwhile Sam has gotten used to his long locks and is going to miss the warmth they provide. But mom is thoroughly looking forward to some simpler maintenance. “Mommy’s tired of it, the shampoo, the rinse, the brushing,” said Sheila with a laugh. This is the third year Sheila has taken part in the run, the second year for Sydnee and it will be Sam’s first Run for the Cure. “There’s reasons why we do it,” said Sheila, who lost a friend to breast cancer and has another currently battling the disease. Anyone who would like to donate towards the family’s efforts can drop off donations, made out to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, at The Morning Star. For more information about the run or to register or donate visit www.runforthecure.com or come down to Fulton at 9:30 a.m. Sunday to take part.

Private dog walkers to be considered richard rolke Morning Star Staff

There may be some consideration of commercial dog walkers using Greater Vernon parks. On Wednesday, the Regional District of North Okanagan board adopted a bylaw that limits a person to having four dogs in a designated dog park. However, officials may consider whether changes are needed to reflect the activities of those who walk dogs for a living. “It is something we are inves-

tigating,” said Tannis Nelson, community development coordinator. In a presentation to the board, Linda Leadbury, with Freedom Doggy Daycare, indicated that the policy could impact the business’ ability to meet its customers’ needs. “It (dog walking) allows the owners to work during the day instead of giving their dogs to a shelter,” she said. Leadbury, who would like to walk up to 10 dogs at once, says

visits to dog parks provide the animals with exercise and socialization. “The park trips are carefully controlled.” RDNO staff have previously stated that the bylaw arose because there was a concern that individuals could not keep control of multiple dogs and that posed safety concerns for others in the park. Under the bylaw, the fine for having more than four dogs in a dog-designated park is $100.

Pam phoned the real Jennifer and she confirmed she had been at work all day and had not been in an accident. “That’s the call I should have made in the first place,” said Pam. Goldman phoned Pam’s mom again and when he expressed concern about Jennifer being stuck in jail, Pam’s mom told him Jennifer could stay in jail and hung up on him. Pam said Goldman sounded “very sympathetic and professional” throughout their conversations. The family also has no idea how the callers obtained Pam’s mom’s name. Her phone number is listed under her husband’s name. RCMP detachments in the Okanagan Valley receive a large number of calls regarding the grandparent scam on a regular basis. “The grandparent scam or ‘emergency scam’ has been around for years,” said Kelowna RCMP Const. Kris Clark. “Even if you truly believe the caller’s story, you should verify it by simply calling that grandchild or their parents, no matter how urgent they claim the situation to be. A few minutes to confirm the truth won’t hurt anyone.” For more information about scams and how to report them, visit www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca.

Trading towards a job

he ideal job is one that provides satisfaction while at the same time pays enough to enjoy a decent standard of living. At the recent Pro-D Day presentation at Vernon secondary school, Larry Espe stressed the need for more high school graduates to enter the trades. Espe is the newly appointed superintendent of trades and transitions for the Ministry of Education, who was a longtime teacher and principal in the Peace River North School District. With billions of dollars of proposed projects across B.C., he said there will be a shortage of skilled workers if more Katherine Mortimer grads don’t end up choosing trades over academics. The trades are essential to keeping the economy going, and Espe made an excellent point when he said it’s time to stop looking at the trades as second-best to attending university. “We have had a system where we have had a lot of smart people made to feel they are not smart,” he said to the audience of teachers who had packed into the VSS gym. His presentation was lively, funny, thoughtprovoking and filled with entertaining graphics and videos illustrating his points. But in talking to one teacher afterwards, she said there is often too much emphasis these days on simply going to school to get a piece of paper that will lead to a fat pay cheque. Fulton English teacher Jane Maskell said the idea of encouraging students to get into the trades while at the same time taking away the stigma is a good one, but she also believes there is still a need for education for the sake of getting an education. “What about being educated for the purpose of being a well-rounded, educated person,” she said. “What kind of a person do you want to be? I am asked why I teach Shakespeare, but every single person who has a degree has learned how to think. Your life is very limited if it’s all about work and making money. “There is too much emphasis on the practical, where people are questioning the value about learning the history of our country or reading great works of literature.” I see her point.

going to help me get a job? Perhaps not, but is understanding great literature going to make me a more well-rounded person? Yes, I think so. As a high school student unsure of what career path I wanted to take, I used to question what I perceived as my parents pushing me to go to university. I can remember telling my dad that I had no idea what I wanted “to be when I grew up,” and so why should I bother. He always told me that I could figure that out eventually, but that simply getting an education is never wasted. OK, I get that with student loans, the cost of tuition these days, not to mention the eventual cost of living for graduating university students, it’s perhaps not always practical to enter a field of study for which there won’t necessarily be a job waiting. I eventually went into first-year arts, taking a variety of courses, none of which led to a job, all of which were interesting. But I love the idea of learning for the sake of learning. Just ask any of the members of the Society for Open Learning and Discussion. The Vernon group meets weekly to listen to a guest speaker, followed by discussion. As a guest speaker, I can attest to the genuine curiosity of SOLD’s members, all of whom asked thoughtful questions. They all struck me as not only interesting, but interested. My mother had always wanted to earn her degree, but stayed home to raise her three kids. Once we were all in school, she began taking courses, simply because she was always curious about the world around her, taking courses ranging from anthropology to English. In high school, one of my most useful courses turned out to be a trade: Grade 9 typing, a skill I use daily in my work. But I’m also grateful to have taken courses that introduced me to Holden Caulfield, The Canterbury Tales and Homer’s Odyssey. The joy of reading great works of literature — or trashy beach reads for that matter — is not something to be taken lightly. When I eventually settled on journalism as a career, I was required to take several elective courses to round out the program, such as economics and political science, along with courses in Canadian Press style, how to write a lede (lead, in layman’s terms) and interview techniques. For me, learning a trade has been a great career choice, but I’m glad it’s not the only thing I learned.

Although not to trump the festivities of Thanksgiving and Halloween, October is going pink. In support of breast cancer awareness, this month turns communities into a sea of pink. And with it comes plenty of opportunities for individuals to make a difference. Vernon firefighters are raising awareness by wearing pink shirts this month, Safeway is hosting fundraisers in support of the cause and perhaps one of the largest events in town is Sunday’s Run for the Cure. The event gets underway at Clarence Fulton to raise funds in support of breast cancer research. The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure is the largest, single-day, volunteer-led fundraising event for breast cancer in Canada. It has been taking place nationally for 22 years now, and in Vernon since 2008. During that time, the community alone has raised more than $429,000. While a cure for cancer may still seem like a distant dream, every dollar raised is helping the cause. And it’s not just about research. All of the funds raised in B.C. stay in B.C. to fund, support and advocate for prevention, early detection, treatment and health care workforce improvements. Almost everyone has been touched by cancer in some way, whether it’s a personal experience or that of a loved one. So everyone can relate to how important such initiatives are – whether it’s catching the disease in time or providing the right treatment. While, unfortunately, there are still too many who cannot be saved, events like the Run for the Cure have helped make a difference as significantly fewer women are dying from breast cancer today than in the past.

future of food I was among the 200 people at the regional agricultural advisory committee (RAAC) meeting about GMO food Sept 11. I felt muzzled and indignant. Surely, the head of the meeting did well to keep public comment to a limit but even clapping was said to be disrespectful. Since the committee will decide the kind of food we can all expect to eat, literally the future of the food is a hot topic. Yet the audience was shushed into silence to listen to the presentation by CropLife vice-president Janice Tranberg, This corporate VIP was ushered into Coldstream to represent many corporations. Tranberg says that food is more scrutinized than ever before and that, today, we have the safest food in history. The processes in place with regulatory bodies such as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada, she says, would protect the public from GMOs if

egarding the story in the Sept. 13 edition of The Morning Star, "Anti GMO crowd plants message at meeting." I do hope the regional agricultural advisory committee as well as our Regional District of North Okanagan representatives have the sense to look past the comments of Huguette Allen and keep the best interests of farmers in mind. There is nothing illegal, immoral or unethical about the use of GMO seed. Since ancient times, man has continued to alter the genetics of plants, albeit by a much slower process of natural selection, by saving the hardier, more productive seeds, and in more recent times, by plant crossbreeding. GMO technology has merely speeded up the process. This provides farmers with another tool to help them continue to increase production of a reliable food source as demand increases throughout the world. Thus, it should be the farmers who decide whether GMO production is

"Public policy needs to be based on science and not on opinion, and I think it is the responsibility of a public politician to base their (decisions) on solid science," said Tranberg. I wonder if the people believe in her corporate presentation in the face of public opposition? May I please remind both sides that we are on the opposite side of our European partners and all the people who protested the corporate grip on our food supply. Two million people took to the streets in protest of GMOs in 52 countries, in about 436 cities worldwide, May 25, including Kelowna, Penticton and Vernon. One corporation is changing its image with claims of, "extensive safety reviews completed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency." I point out that reviews of the paperwork handed in by the company on short-term animal feeding studies do not prove safety. Health Canada has not made

any independent safety studies. Is science above being questioned? In the 1950s, doctors (backed by scientific consensus) endorsed cigarettes. The drug thalidomide was considered a safe treatment for morning sickness and thousands of babies were born without limbs. Many prescription drugs have been taken off the market after extensive safety testing proved false and people died. GMOs can never be taken off the market as they are contagious to natural plants. Where are Canada's regulatory bodies in all this? Health Canada approved GMO corn (NK603) in 2001, three years before receiving animal feeding studies that a corporation voluntarily submitted in 2004. Health Canada takes at face value what the corporations submit. Is it wise to allow the industry to police itself? With so much at stake for our health, it is time to stop blindly accepting the "safety" of genetically

I'm sure Ms. Allen would like you to believe that corporate agriculture means huge multinational corporations are taking over our farms. This couldn't be further from the truth. The reality is that almost all of today's farms throughout North America are still family farms. Certainly farms have got larger over the years as have most businesses. But they are still, by and large, operated by one or two families working together. I would guess that many of them are corporations, but anyone who has or does own a business will tell you there are many tax advantages to being incorporated versus operating as a sole proprietorship. In closing, people such as Ms. Allen or the Bee Safe organization have no right to dictate how farmers operate their business. And as long as society continues to demand a safe, reliable and low cost source of food, farmers will continue to use whatever technology is available to do so. Bill Grahn

modified crops just because corporations say it is safe. Health Canada has an obligation to protect our health by conducting its own independent research on the safety of genetically modified food and labeling it as such. If the federal government can afford to spend $847 million on the G20 meeting, it can afford to ensure the safety of our common food supply. The bottom line for all of us is nobody ever asked the consumer whether or not they wanted to consume these technologies. Tranberg says that people have a right to their opinions and that there is choice in the market, by purchasing organic, for those who do not wish to consume GMO. GMO crops ruin the purity of organic and non-organic crops via cross-pollination. All foods become GMO corporately owned patented seeds. Farmers and consumers will have no choice.

A proposed development at Kingfisher could be moving ahead despite significant opposition. In a 3-2 vote Wednesday, Regional District of North Okanagan directors agreed to rezone a property on Mabel Lake Road to allow for a 24-lot residential subdivision and a one-acre commercial property. “It meets the local area plan and there’s a plan for a marina,” said director Rick Fairbairn of some public concerns about a lack of boat moorage. Jackie Pearase, the director for Kingfisher, voted against the rezoning, saying the proposal is premature. “The official community plan is a future document and it fits with the OCP but the future they are envisioning isn’t here yet,” she said. “Nothing has sold out there and there are already houses people haven’t moved into. The real estate market is very slow.” Directors received a number of letters from residents against the rezoning. “I do not see the existing issues with parking, traffic, trespassing, illegal camping, beach users verses boaters, moorage, excessive buoys and improper use of boats on the lake and river have been

addressed,” said Sue Saloka in her letter. Brenda Sherwood wrote that the 2012 area plan for Kingfisher identifies a lack of parking and infrastructure and possible environmental impacts from development. “The Kingfisher area plan clearly states that additional expansion should not be allowed until these issues were addressed,” she said. However, applicant Fritz Jagert defends his proposal. “The area plan contemplates an increase in density,” he said. He says that a marina project will address concerns about buoys on the lake

and suites in some of his units will provide seasonal workers at the Mabel Lake Resort with accommodations. “It’s a sensible and much-needed development. It will serve a purpose.” Support came from resident Don Ennis, who says an increased population base will ensure amenities and jobs. “People have come there and don’t want anyone else to come and that’s wrong. That’s not how you build a community.” The RDNO board will withhold final adoption of the rezoning bylaw until the engineering department is satisfied the existing sewer water and sewer utilities can accommodate the subdivision.

flood control in Lumby could have serious ramifications for Greater Vernon residents during drought years. Regional District of North Okanagan staff have compiled a number of options to address Lumby’s concern that management of the Duteau Creek reservoirs has led to high water in the village.

could involve a comprehensive hydrology study of Duteau Creek and raising the Aberdeen reservoir to allow for more storage and address flooding. “We don’t think the regional district is responsible for the whole thing (flooding). The province also needs to get involved,” he said. According to Marcolin, the Duteau Creek irrigation system actually helps Lumby. “If they weren’t there, there would still be flooding,” she said. “The reservoirs hold back some water. The flows don’t go as fast.” The RDNO board has made no decisions on the staff report.

While summer school may not be the top activity for many students, this year’s summer programs in the Vernon School District enjoyed a high rate of success. Rod Peters, vice-principal of summer programs, said a little more than 300 students took part in district programs this summer: sessions in math and English at W.L. Seaton; the summer reading program at district elementary schools; and an online summer session offering 16 courses. The English and math programs at Seaton had 49 students enrolled. The program had an 87 per cent success rate for local students, and a 78 per cent completion rate for international students. “As you can imagine, teaching English to 30 students at different levels in different grades is a challenge, so we were happy to have access to online courses, where students can do their work while others had time with the teachers,” he said. “This points to the potential for online course material to enrich current face-to-face classrooms throughout the district. “This program offers a strong support for the international students who need to keep academically active throughout the summer. The international students quickly became comfortable in this environment.” The course brought in seven teachers teaching seven courses of four different levels of math and three of English at the Grade 10 to 12 level. This year’s summer reading program had 164 registrants from across the district, served by two or three teachers at seven different schools. “The team teaching skills of teachers were amazing to watch in action as they balanced responsibilities and student experiences to offer one-on-one activities as well as partner, small group and large group activities,” said Peters. On average, he said the individual student PM benchmarks (reading levels) improved signifi-

cantly, with only six per cent not improving; these students will be referred for further testing and support. “We know how important it is to do even just a little bit of reading in the summer,” said program teacher Cullie Dueck. “We see parents every morning and we have the chance to talk to them about what’s working at home, when is a good time to read. And the confidence that kids get from this program is wonderful.” Peters said some teachers were concerned about high needs referrals that were not accompanied with the same kind of CEA support that comes in the students’ regular day, putting added demands on teachers which in turn took time away from the other students. The online summer session brought in four teachers who combined to offer 16 courses, with 96 students taking advantage of these online summer offerings; 66 students achieved successful completion and credit in their courses. “This resulted in a 69 per cent completion rate, which is on par with previous years and above the provincial average for distance learning,” said Peters. “Given the short time frame of this program, that completion rate is a success. “The teachers who delivered this program had previous experience with online summer courses. This in combination with access to improved online course will continue to improve success rates and more importantly quality personalized learning opportunities for our students.”

October warming up to average Jennifer SMith Morning Star Staff

Following September’s weather, which was wetter and warmer than normal, October temperatures are expected to stick around average. September recorded 57 millimeters of rain in Vernon, compared the normal amount of 37. The average temperature for the month was one degree warmer at 16.3 C. Two records were broken: Sept. 13 the mercury rose to 30.8, smashing the 2002 record of 28.5; and on Sept. 15, the 2001 record of 29.1 was broken as temperatures rose to 29.7. Following the arrival of crisp, fall temperatures recently, October is looking on par. “It looks like we’re going to try and warm up and stay around average,” said Doug Lundquist, Environment Canada meteorologist. Average daytime high temperatures for October are 16 and 17 C. But there is also a chance the mercury could rise slightly above normal later in the month. With Thanksgiving just a week away, the travelling public is reminded to be prepared for wintery road conditions on mountain passes. “It is snowing over higher terrain so people will want to pay attention to snow the passes.” Routes such as the Coquihalla, now famed as the Highway Thru Hell for its ice and heavy snowfall, prompt the need for motorist preparedness. Although such routes have already seen snow, the valley isn’t expected to see any sign of it for a while. “Down in the valley we’re good for another

month or so,” said Lundquist. Visit www.drivebc.ca for road conditions.

CRISP FALL DAYS BRING CRISP CUT PRICES

trict health promotion coordinator Christine Balfour explained some of the ways in which health and education are interdependent. “Healthy students are better learners, and better-educated individuals are healthier,” said Balfour, who also teaches nursing at UBCO. The Health Promoting Schools program provides a framework for those teachers who have joined their school’s Health Promoting Committee, but are unsure of how to begin the work towards a healthier school. The Interior Healthfunded project takes a four-pillar approach to comprehensive school health, incorporating social and physical environment; teaching and learning; partnerships and services; healthy school policy.

“It’s allowing us to look at health from lots of different angles,” said Balfour. She said comprehensive school health is not just what happens in the classroom, but encompasses the whole school environment with actions addressing four distinct but inter-related pillars that provide a strong foundation for comprehensive school health. “When actions in all four pillars are harmonized, students are supported to realize their full potential as learners, and as healthy, productive members of society.” Last year, inquirybased learning was introduced, where students are brought together, with a teacher’s support, to look at the four pillars and to ask questions.

“It’s asking a question and figuring it out, and I can provide them with a $500 grant to help them answer that question. Because it’s student-driven, it’s very meaningful.” Some of the projects that came out of those discussions include a garden at Beairsto, healthy eating at JW Inglis, gardens at Okanagan Landing and Ellison, and a water project at Fulton. “Beairsto had a fabulous garden, and a wonderful parent who really helped them with the program. “At Inglis, the students did things like trying different foods such as a kiwi or freezing grapes to see what they taste like. At Fulton, they have gone from drinking from a water fountain to filling their bottles at a station.

So this is all inquirybased learning.” Unplug & Play is another project that proved to be a success, thanks to collaboration with the Optimists Club. “They really took it and ran with it and they sourced out all of these activities kids could do for free at very low cost, so kids were encouraged to try different activities, such as yoga. “And it was about being screen smart, making kids aware of how much time they are spending in front of a screen.” Balfour said the Health Promoting Schools program has succeeded thanks to the many partnerships, such as Action Schools, Junction Literacy, UBCO nursing students, PacificSport and the Boys and Girls Club.

If you are looking to diversify your career skills, one option is to go green. Okanagan College’s Vernon campus will hold a landscape horticulture certificate program from Oct. 15 to Dec. 21. “I am hoping that we attract people who are interested in horticulture as a career and want to understand what kinds of things are involved, what is current best practice,” said instructor Eric Reynard, a landscape architect. “In the past, landscape contractors have sent employees as have golf courses. Prospective city employees take the course as many government agencies now require some level of certification. We have even had homeowners with an interest in learning the best ways to deal with their own landscapes.” Students will learn the theory behind landscape design, construction and maintenance and plant identification and usage. Reynard says local interest in landscape has increased in popularity. “With growing population comes a need to make our spaces more liveable and there is a growing emphasis on sustainability which is something trained people in horticulture can impact,” he said.

Okanagan College is offering a landscape horticulture program. The course runs two evenings a week, with the practical portion set for Saturdays. Part of the practicum will occur at the Kalamalka demonstration garden at the college. “Having an easily accessible landscape is always beneficial as it is used to demonstrate specific landscape techniques, illustrate plants appropriate to the specific area and evaluate landscape construction and maintenance choices,” said Reynard. For more course information or to register, call 250-545-7921 (local 2850) or go to www.okanagan. bc.ca/csnorth.

City sounds canine alert Morning Star Staff

The City of Vernon wants a tight leash placed on dogs. Residents are being reminded that no dogs are allowed in city or regional parks, including Polson Park and Lakeview Park, on the beaches, or on the board walk at the rear of Polson Park unless the park is specifically signed as a dog park. “Recently we have had a number of complaints regarding dog owners attending Polson Park, and being rude and obnoxious when approached by other park users who mention the regulation restricting dogs,” said Clint Kanester, bylaw enforcement manager. “We would like to remind the public that you may be subject to a $50 to a $100 fine and may be banned from access to the park, if found in a park with your dog, when that park does not specifically allow dogs.” There are a number of accessible dog parks in the community. “There is a park near Polson Park, above the hospital and across from Armoury Park, that allows dogs, and another one at the bottom of the DND grounds just above 15th Street, west of 32nd Avenue.” Other locations to exercise dogs are: • The Gray Canal trail (for dogs on leash) – 1.2 kilometres north of BX Elementary School on Silver Star Road. Parking is on Blackcomb Way. • BX Ranch Park 1.5 kilometres easy on BX Rd. from the junction of 46th Avenue and Pleasant Valley Road. • Marshall Field Park – 6601 Okanagan Landing Road along Vernon Creek • Becker Park – behind Vernon Rec Complex. Park in the curling club lot. A full list of dog parks can be found at www. ve r non . c a / s e r v i c e s / bylaw_enforcement/doc/ dog_parks.pdf

Contractors create new space Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

A group of local contractors have transformed a once crammed, dreary space to help the Junction function. Teen Junction provides a space for youth to drop in for meals, internet access and activities. For many, the nightly hot meal is a main attraction to the safe, judgement-free space. “A lot of these kids come here just to eat,” said Gavin Parsons, who recently joined approximately 10 contractors to renovate the current kitchen space. Along with his company, Gavin Parsons Homes, the renovation came to life thanks to Morgan’s Glass, NorVal Rentals, Arrowhead Electric, Homestead Drywall, Taylor Painting and Decorating, Greystokes Cabinetry, Heinman Masonry, Central Hardware, Darin’s Plumbing and Comfort Zone Heating and Air Conditioning. “They all volunteered experience, materials, whatever they could,” said Parsons. The project, which

was initiated due to safety concerns, also included funding from the Community Foundation. “It’s a brighter, happier space,” said Debbie Schiller, executive director of the Junction Literacy Centre, which operates Teen Junction. “They (youth) love, love, love the changes.”

Parsons has routinely lent a hand to the Junction, as his wife, Marlene is on the board, so he hears first-hand about the good work done and the needs. “I’m the one that got them all into this,” laughed Marlene. The transformation not only provides a brighter and more effi-

cient space, it is creating more smiles at the Junction. “We really feel psychologically it’s going to help,” said Marlene as the space hosts up to 20 youth a night. Anyone who would like to help the Junction function can visit www. teenjunctionyouthcentre.ca

School maintenance projects get cash infusion Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff

From new flooring at Harwood elementary, to fire alarm upgrades

at Kal secondary, the Vernon School District always has a number of maintenance projects on the go.

Thanks to the annual facilities grant from the Ministry of Education, those projects are able to proceed. This year,

the district has had its funding increased to $1,289,747. In April, the board was required to submit

their list of AFG projects and expenditures for ministry confirmation. The annual AFG

is used to fund maintenance and repairs in district schools. All planned AFG projects must be completed

between April 1, 2013 and March 31, 2014. Projects already completed or under way include corridor flooring at Fulton; upgrading and expanding the parking lot at JW Inglis; fencing at Beairsto; roof replacement at Hillview, Okanagan Landing, Seaton and Alexis Park. Me a nw h i l e , upgrades to the board office are still a long way off. Secretary-treasurer Lewis Hill said trustees have received information on the necessity of renovations to the current board office and portables. “This is going to be a long process before we can consider breaking ground,” he said. “But we do have funds set aside for this project.” Trustees were asked to approve the beginning stages of the renovation to what is now being called the Education Centre. This would involve an analysis of the space, work flow and storage requirements of the centre, and develop a new set of concept drawings for board discussion and approval prior to final authorization to proceed with the project. “This is not just a board office, but a multifunctional facility, and we need to understand our space and storage requirements before we proceed,” said Hill. But with no seconder to the motion to authorize this analysis, the board is not prepared to proceed with the project at this time. nnn The board is in the process of forming a sub-committee to develop a draft LGBTQ policy for consideration. “We want to develop a draft policy on youth with (director of instruction) Diane Rhenisch who will meet with administrators, students and teachers to talk about what that policy would look like, and we’re hoping to have it completed by December,” said superintendant Joe Rogers.

The UBC Okanagan Heat’s Kirsten Dodds had been held goal-less heading into week four of the 2013 PacWest women’s soccer season. The third-year forward from Vernon broke out in a big way last weekend, netting three goals in two road games to help the Heat earn six muchneeded points. She also collected PacWest female soccer Athlete of the Kirsten Dodds Week honours. Saturday, on a wet and rainy afternoon in Nanaimo, Dodds scored on a rebound as UBCO stuffed the Vancouver Island University Mariners 4-0. On Sunday afternoon, Dodd collected both goals as the Heat shut out the Capilano Blues 2-0. Playing in soggy conditions, the Vernon product converted in the 57th minute as she took on a Blues’ defender one-on-one and, after setting up a teammate, she swooped in on the resulting rebound. Dodds’ second goal was the result of some slick passing that sprung her on a breakaway. She froze the Capilano keeper before finding net. The Heat battle the first-place Thompson Rivers WolfPack in a weekend home-and-home set starting Saturday in Kamloops. In men’s soccer, the Heat bowed to the Blues 4-1 Sunday in North Vancouver with fourth-year midfielder Austin Jones (Vernon) clicking midway through the first half after Capilano went up 2-0. Jones scored in the 25th minute Saturday as the Heat tied the Mariners 1-1 in Nanaimo. He is on a five-game scoring streak. Both Jones and rookie forward Logan Abbott (Salmon Arm) enjoyed a few other good opportunities that were saved by the VIU keeper in the rain-soaked second half. The Mariners opened the offence in the second minute. The Heat are now 4-2-2 and still holding onto a playoff seed.

Edmonton’s Heather Nedohin shaded New Westminster’s Kelley Law 3-2 in a low-scoring battle of former Canadian women’s champions to open the Prestige Hotels & Resorts Curling Classic Thursday morning at the Vernon Curling Club. Nedohin, the 2012 Canadian champ, used the hammer in the eighth end to count a point for the win after picking up singles in two and five. Law, who won the 2000 worlds in Glasgow, answered with single in four and seven. In other opening-day action at the $40,000 cashspiel, Calgary’s Cheryl Bernard gave up a single steal in eight to fall 5-4 to Cassie Potter of St. Paul, Minn. Bernard, a silver medalist at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, cracked a triple in five to earn a 4-2 lead, but gave up a deuce in six before blanking seven. Calgary’s Shannon Kleibrink, another former Olympic medal winner (bronze in 2006, in Torino), surrendered singles in six and seven as she bowed 5-3 to Korea’s Ji-Sun Kim. Other opening-round scores saw Saskatoon’s Stephanie Lawton double Kamloops’ Allison McInnes 6-3; Winnipeg’s Barb Spencer shaded Japan’s Satsuki Fujisawa 5-4; Edmonton’s Laura Crocker outgunned Yellowknife’s Kerry Galusha 8-3; Kelowna’s Kelly Scott fell 5-3 to Japan’s Ayumi Ogasawara; and Edmonton’s Valerie Sweeting racked up a four-point sixth end to ground Winnipeg’s Darcy Robertson 7-4. Vernon’s Robbi Kuhn fell 5-3 to Scotland’s Eve Muirhead in her Thursday afternoon draw. Kuhn and Muirhead swapped deuces in ends two and three, but the Scottish rink pulled ahead with back-to-back singles in five and six.

Viper vets back in action Graeme Corbett Morning Star Staff

With a pair of veterans returning from injury and two more players making their debuts, the Vernon Vipers will feature a new-look lineup as they visit the Prince George Spruce Kings tonight at the Coliseum. Defenceman Josh Bryan and forward Colton Sparrow, both 20, who have been out since the B.C. Hockey League’s opening weekend showcase tournament, will boost the veteran content of a Vipers’ squad that has struggled to a 3-3-1-2 record, good enough for a share of third in the Interior. “It’s not where you want to be after nine games, but if you look at who we had out of the lineup, there’s some older guys that would have calmed the bench down,” said Vipers’ associate coach Kris Mallette. Newcomers Jared Wilson, an offensive defenceman acquired Tuesday from the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, and Josh Betinol, a forward picked up Thursday from Saskatchewans’ Battlefords North Stars, will also suit up for Vernon tonight. The Sprucies top the Mainland at 5-30-1 and are on a three-game win streak. Vernon visits the Salmon Arm SilverBacks (4-4-0-1) Saturday at the Shaw Centre. Betinol, an Okotoks, Alta. native, had 13-19-32 in 51 games with the Stars last season. To make room for him on his 22-man roster, Vernon head coach/GM Jason Williamson placed injured captain Ryan Renz on the 30-day IR. Renz rolled his ankle in a Sept. 13 scrap in Salmon Arm, and Williamson noted the 30 days are retroactive to the date of the injury. He expects his captain will return sooner. “We had to add a Craig Martin forward,” said Vernon head coach Jason Williamson, who sent winger Craig Martin and future considerations to Alberni Valley to obtain Wilson, a 19-year-old Calgary product. “He’s (Betinol) a smaller guy (5-foot-8, 165 pounds), but competes hard and works hard around the net.” Vernon’s blueline has felt the brunt of the injury bug. They finished Saturday’s game against the Surrey Eagles (a 7-4 loss) with just four d-men when Michael Statchuk left the game after blocking a hard shot. “We’ve got some guys playing minutes that they’re not quite used to,” said Mallette. “I’d rather ease guys into the game, but we’ve kind of thrown them into the fire the

Jared Wilson, a defenceman acquired earlier this week from the alberni Valley bulldogs, works the point during a drill at Vernon Viper practice Wednesday at Kal tire Place. last little while. “I’m not saying they did a bad job, you just want that transition to be a little smoother.” Wilson should help the Vipers’ back end until Renz is fit to return. His three goals, six assists and 26 penalty minutes in nine games were tops in Alberni, and he gives Vernon another option for a powerplay quarterback. “It was good going to Alberni,” said the 6-foot-3, 190-pound Wilson. “I got lots of opportunity and I took the opportunity and ran with it.” The Bulldogs lost their top three returning scorers (Evan Tironese, Ryan Lough and Bo Pellah) to the USHL, which reflects in their league-worst 1-7-1 record. “It’s definitely a better group than the record looks out there; we lost a lot of tight games,” said Wilson. Wilson has played with plenty of highend talent in the past. He skated with the likes of Hunter Shinkaruk (Vancouver Canucks) and Josh Morrissey (Winnipeg Jets), both first-round picks in this year’s NHL Entry Draft, back when he was with the Calgary Bantam AAA Royals. “You knew they were going to be stars,”

said Wilson. “They were just the top of the top – the way they think the game, the way they skate, their puck skills.” Much has been made of Wilson’s offensive upside, but Mallette is confident Vernon’s latest addition is capable of playing a solid two-way game. “A lot of people don’t see the fact that he does take pride in his own end as well. Just to be able to bolster what we’ve already got here is going to be huge for us down the stretch.” Martin headed home to Trail Wednesday and joined the Bulldogs Thursday in Castlegar. Alberni takes on his hometown Smoke Eaters tonight at Cominco Arena. With 3-4-7 in nine games, Martin becomes the Bulldogs’ second leading scorer behind Hunter Stewart (1-7-8). “It’s definitely disappointing, especially with them hosting the RBC (Cup), but I see it as an opportunity to join a team where I could be more of a provider, get some more ice time and help turn the team around,” said Martin. “I thought I was playing pretty well, but they really wanted this guy. It’s a business and you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do to win.”

Fulton Heats up Morning Star Staff

The Fulton Maroons never dropped a single set as they marched to gold in the UBC Okanagan Heat Junior Boys Volleyball Tournament last weekend in Kelowna. Fulton dominated the 18-team tournament, earning straight-set wins over the Kelowna Owls (25-11, 25-12) and Pen-Hi Lakers (25-16, 25-12) in preliminary action. They then bounced the Mount Boucherie Bears, 25-16, 25-20, in their playoff opener. In quarterfinals, the Maroons thumped the Summerland Rockets, 25-11, 25-12, before icing the Lakers 25-10, 25-16 in the semis. They grounded Boucherie 25-15, 25-22, in the gold-medal game. “We’ve had a great start to the season,” said Fulton head coach Richard Bedard. “We are undefeated in league play, and we got contributions from everyone this weekend in our first tournament. Fulton will battle in the KSS Best of the West tournament this weekend in Kelowna. n Fulton ranked 11th out of 30 teams at the Thompson Rivers University senior girls tourney last weekend in Kamloops. The Maroons finished second in their pool with wins over the Clearwater Raiders (25-18, 25-17) and St. Ann’s Academy Crusaders of Kamloops ( 25-17, 25-19), and an opening-day loss to the Princess Margaret Mustangs of Penticton (20-25, 23-25). Fulton fell 16-25, 22-25, to the G.W. Graham Grizzlies of Chilliwack in the quarterfinals, rebounded with a 25-12, 25-13 decision over the Chase Trojans, before ending with a 16-25, 22-25 loss to the Westsyde Whundas. “There was an improvement shown by our team’s win-loss record this weekend going 3-3, but we need to tighten up our team’s defence to be able to close tight games and come out as the winner,”

said Fulton head coach Sharon Shaigec. The Maroons hosted the Kalamalka Lakers in Tuesday-night league play, and will take on the Vernon Panthers today (1 p.m.) to open the Cats’ senior girls tournament.

Miller lifts TOFC over Mountain Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Owen Miller netted the winner as Thompson Okanagan FC grounded Mountain United 2-1 in Under 13 boys Rep soccer play Sunday at Mission Sports Fields in Kelowna. With less than a minute to play in injury time, Matt Barcelona (Kelowna) delivered a corner that Miller headed home. TOFC trailed the Burnaby/North Shore United club in the first half after an error on the back line. The boys equalized just before the half when a strong run by Mitch Morgan (Lake Country) resulted in a cross to the far post that Connor Yendley (Kelowna) buried past the fallen keeper. With about 15 minutes to play, a United player was sent off, leaving the door open for an exciting finish. Numerous rushes by Kazuki Comley (Vernon) wore down the Mountain defenders. In Under 13 intake girls action Sunday in Kelowna, Yvonne Manwaring of Kamloops converted twice as TOFC outlasted Mountain United 3-2.

Manwaring broke past the Mountain defenders on the left side and sent a cross through to Olivia Mcleod (Vernon) for the first goal of the game at the 18-minute mark. Shortly after, Manwaring pounced on a ball that skidded past a United defender on the rain-soaked turf for the second goal. Manwaring made it 3-0 before the half. Taitum MacAulay of Vernon earned the clean sheet as the TOFC U14 boys shut out the Magnuson Ford Mariners 2-0 Saturday at Mission Fields. Sam McDonald (Kelowna) connected twice in the first half to handle the Thompson Okanagan attack. TOFC drew Mountain 1-1 on Sunday. United came out strong, surprising the TOFC defence with a quick goal early in the half. Graeme Lewis (Kelowna) corralled a free kick from Sem Kampman (West Kelowna) and breezed past the Mountain defence to tie the game just before the half ended.

SportS BriefS BMX club celebrates 30 Years

The weather threatened to rain on the party, but it let up just in time for the Vernon BMX Club’s 30th anniversary celebration Saturday afternoon at Ranger Park. By 4 p.m., the sun shone down as a couple hundred people took part in the event. The club played video footage of earlier races and displayed newspaper articles covering the past three decades, along with retro trophies and BMX paraphernalia. The first event of the day was an 80s retro race, with riders wearing lots of big hair, headbands and neon. The race of the day was the anniversary double points event, which featured 75 riders. Vernon club riders earning first-place finishes include Tarran Tepper (3-year-old strider), Kai Earl (½ tracker), Brittany Luchene (14 girls), Chris Spence (41-45 men’s cruiser), Shylo Orchard (2630 women’s cruiser), Jennifer Bitz (41-45 women’s cruiser), Toran Edwards (6 novice), Charlie Erickson (6 intermediate), Colson Johnston (7 novice), Zack Casagrande (8 novice), Zach Milne (8 intermediate), J.J. Milne (9 intermediate), Lewis Harman (10 intermediate), Jacob Plank (10 expert), Emily Bohmer (14 novice), Jadon Riddick (14 intermediate), and Nathan Martin (16 expert). The Vernon club is gearing up for Grand Nationals on Thanksgiving weekend in Chilliwack. For more information about the Vernon BMX Club, visit www.vernonbmx.com.

Junior Vipers blank Salmon Arm

Team defence is not an easy sell to eight-to 10-year-olds, but head coach Brent Bond put the challenge to his Vernon H&L Glass Junior Vipers ahead of their Atom Development preseason hockey game Sunday in Salmon Arm. The Vipers responded with a 1-0 win at the Shaw Centre. Early in the second period, Vernon’s Liam Remple connected on a tape-to-tape pass to Liam Leibel, who darted up the middle and sprung Chris Bond with a backhand flip pass. In full flight, Bond let off a heavy wrister which found the short side. Vernon’s defence held Salmon Arm to a single shot in the second frame, as forwards Jordyn Morris, Maddex Minard, Colby Restiaux, Brock Holliday and Adam Bourgeois hustled on the backcheck. Defenders Remple, Quinn Soon, Nick Noren and John Spraggs controlled the pace of the game. Salmon Arm came on late, but Viper goalie Jaret Cooper stood tall for the shutout.

Canadians rule Pee Wee Classic

The Vernon Canadians cruised to gold with a 10-0 win over the Port Coquitlam Cardinals in the championship game of the Fall Ball Pee Wee Baseball Classic last weekend in Rutland. Vernon’s Carter Morris was strong on the mound, striking out six batters in three inning’s work. At bat, the C’s Brayden Beacom, Morris and Christopher McIntosh singled, with Chase Batchelor cashing in Beacom, and Morris and Batchelor stealing home. Landon Harison knocked a double to centre field to score Eric Foufoulas in the second inning. Beacom singled to right field to bring home Matthew Hansen and Harison. Morris K’d another PoCo batter in the third inning before Caden Colmorgen took over, striking out another one. The Canadians had solid heads-up base running in the bottom of the inning, with Morris stealing second and third, and then scoring on a single by Batchelor. McIntosh reached home on an error. Colmorgen ran down an infield grounder and threw to Ryan Gamage for Vernon’s first out in the fourth inning. He struck out the next batter before giving way to Batchelor. Up 8-0, the Canadians took their final at bat with Beacom scoring on a walk and Gamage singling to right field to bring in Morris.

Thanks to the work of the transportation department, more than 3,000 students are able to get safely to and from school. At a recent Vernon School District board meeting, trustees received the department’s update from transportation supervisor Robyn Stephenson. This year, there are 3,687 students registered to ride, with the most common complaints the time it’s taking the department to process late registration. “We have hired extra staff to do so, but it is a time-consuming job with approximately 1,050 late registrations arriving since school started,” said Stephenson. “We still have approximately 100 late registrations to process and more coming in daily. “Of the 1,050 late registrations, approximately 400 were new busing.” This year, 50 per cent of the Vernon routes were affected by some sort of change, resulting in busing changes for about 1,800 students. As well, almost 200 students are now walking to and from school. The department has received some calls

Lake Country project wins regional honour Morning Star Staff

The District of Lake Country was a key partner in a silvopasture pilot project which won the 2013 Regional Premierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award in the partnership category. The Premierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Innovation and Excellence Awards showcases the work of government and its partners and collaborators that exemplify good management practices, innovation and excellence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very happy this growing food and

fibre in a community watershed pilot project received acknowledgement from the premierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office as an exemplary partnership,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor James Baker. The first of its kind in B.C., this water-management partnership arose out of the need to protect drinking water in the Okanagan Shuswap district. Lake Countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vernon Creek watershed provides drinking water and is an important source of timber, forage and recreational

activities. Concern that livestock grazing and other activities in the watershed may affect water quality led to a unique partnership between provincial and local government agencies and key stakeholders

and partners. Their approach integrated the management of forestry and livestock productions with conservation practices to protect drinking water while also promoting industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lake Country pro-

vided analysis of water samples, delivery of bacteriological/chemistry samples to lab, and was instrumental in the development of water quality sampling protocol,â&#x20AC;? said Patti Meger, Lake Countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water quality technician.

The project was led by the Ministry of Agriculture, in partnership with the Ministry of Forests, Agriculture Canada, the Regional District of Central Okanagan, the District of Lake County, Coldstream Ranch,

Tolko Industries, the Okanagan Basin Water Board, Legerwood Natural Resources, the B.C. Cattlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association, the Farmland Riparian Interface Stewardship Prog ram and AgForInsight.com

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.

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE ADRENALINE RUSH MUST BE CONTROLLED Kate Adie OBE, an English journalist who was known for reporting from war zones for the BBC, said, “If I’m in danger, then it’s usually my fault and it’s up to me to get myself out of it. I am not in it just to get an adrenaline rush.” At the bridge table, adrenaline rushes can make players rush, when they should be stopping to look for potential dangers. In this deal, for example, how should South plan the play in six spades after West leads the heart two? Also, how would you have bid with that North hand after partner opened two notrump? In this auction, North

transferred into spades, then bid the contract he hoped his partner could make. A modern superscientist would have jumped to five diamonds over three spades, Exclusion Roman Key Card Blackwood. It would have asked South for key cards excluding the diamond ace. Many players would win the first trick and immediately play a trump. However, East would win with his ace and return a heart for his partner to ruff and defeat the contract. Slightly unlucky, it is true. And many Souths would then ask their partners why they had not bid six no-trump, which is impregnable. But these declarers should have paused for thought when

the dummy came down. Especially given that South can see every heart honor, the opening lead has all the aura of a singleton. To avoid going down, declarer should take the first trick in his hand and discard dummy’s remaining hearts on the diamond ace and king. Then it is safe to draw trumps.

Vernon students are working to help get Syrian kids back to class. Some Clarence Fulton Secondary students are hosting a fundraiser Sunday, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Schubert Centre. Local youth will be sharing their musical talents at the fundraising concert – minimum $5 donation. “Our social studies class is hosting a fundraiser for the kids in Syria who were forced out of their homes due to the gas bombing,” said student Ryan Shaw. “Millions of kids have been forced into refugee camps since the bombing because they have no where else to go, and the majority of those innocent lives have been neglected from not just their education but from their right to live in peace. “So we feel as Canadians that we should do something about it and help them the best we can in order for them to have a better life than what they are having now.” The community is urged to take the time to come support the cause to help as many kids as possible and give them the education and clean water needed to thrive.

Science vs. superstition

rom Stockholm to Sydney to Sicamous, September was a bad month for science. In Sweden, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change finally issued its widely leaked update on human-caused global warming. As expected, it downgraded predictions of temperature rise in the face of 15 years of measurements that show little or no average surface temperature increase. The official spin also went as expected. The revelation that more than a dozen computer prediction models have all more or less Tom Fletcher agreed, and all have been wrong, was played down. The IPCC went from “very likely” to “extremely likely” to affirm its belief in human-caused warming, even as its own core evidence went the other way. Again and again we are told that the vast majority of scientists believe in human-caused warming, and those who don’t are labeled “skeptics” or even “deniers” with hidden agendas. The problem is, science isn’t supposed to be done by polls or popularity contests, or assertions of faith like those that greeted Galileo’s wild claim that Earth is not the centre of the solar system. Before the angry mail starts to arrive, let me hasten to add I am not arguing for or against the theory of human-caused climate change. You can label me a “skeptic” as I view the temperature readings and the shifting theories advanced to explain them. Speaking of temperature data, David Suzuki had a problem with that at a TV town hall in Australia. Polite, well-informed questions soon revealed that while Suzuki rails constantly about the horrors of global warming, he doesn’t actually know much about the latest science. As I’ve written before regarding his CBCfunded attacks on Canada’s oil and gas industry, Suzuki is not only behind on his homework, he resorts to cheap, sensational tricks to exaggerate and misrepresent hazards. His tactics are identical to the U.S.-financed environment groups that obsessively target Canadian petroleum. As for his appearance on Australia’s public broadcaster, don’t take my word for it. Just Google “An Audience with David Suzuki” and watch the show for yourself. Back in B.C., local politicians gathered in Vancouver for their annual convention. One of the most intense debates was over a call to the provincial government to declare B.C. “genetic engineering free.” The heart of this movement, which has resorted to vandalism in Europe, is hostility towards Monsanto’s “Roundup ready” seed. Speakers at the municipal convention warned of sinister “corporations” trying to contaminate and control our food supply for profit. The debate pitted hobby farmers against professionals. Peace region grain farmers said such a ban would put them out of business. Others pointed out that the province has no jurisdiction and that scientific decisions shouldn’t be influenced by emotion. The session ended with a classic pseudoscientific claim. A woman who used to have a couple of bee boxes said someone’s bees died and there was a Roundup-ready canola field next door. Case closed. The misguided “G.E.free B.C.” motion was supported by a narrow

B.C. Views

majority. As it turns out, there are agricultural pesticides that may be harmful to bees. The David Suzuki Foundation is part of an effort to get one of them banned in Canada. The problem is, it’s not Roundup, and it’s got nothing to do with genetic engineering. They’re called “neonicotinoids,” because they’re similar to nicotine. Old sheep farmers may recall using a crude version: tobacco soaked in water to kill insects on sheep. It’s ironic that as the “information age” accelerates, our society, overwhelmed by conflicting messages, slips back towards superstition.

Danylo and friends guarantee laughs Morning Star Staff Get ready for some laughs. Roman Danylo’s The Ultimate Comedy Show, which comes to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. Oct. 19, consists of all types of humour and some of the best comedy acts in the world. Featured on CTV’s Corner Gas and CBC’s Just for Laughs and Made in Canada, headlining comedian and master of ceremonies Roman Danylo has been entertaining audiences for 25 years. “I’ve been a comedian since high school,” said Danylo, owner and operator of his comedy company, The Roman Empire. “I’ve never had a real job, so these are the only skills I have. There’s no backup plan.” Joining Danylo in this comedy extravaganza is musical comedy group Mirage. Described as, “The world’s greatest improvised rock ‘n’ roll band in the world”, Mirage will leave you in fits of laughter with their audience-inspired lyrical melodies, egos, and cool poses. Danylo will also be joined by sketch comedy group Titmouse, which consists of members of Canadian Content, winners of the Canadian Comedy Award for Best Sketch Group, and the stars of CBC sketch comedy series The 11th Hour and Comedy Network series Suckerpunch. Having performed sold-out shows in San Francisco, Chicago and London, Canada’s comedy dream team returns home to perform new material.

The comedy group Titmouse has sold out shows in San Francisco, Chicago and London, and now they are headed to Vernon. The Ultimate Comedy Show culminates in an epic improv jam featuring all three acts. Fast-paced, spontaneous and based entirely on audience suggestion, this sidesplitting routine provides a hilarious conclusion to this travelling festival of comedy. “It has as much variety as we could possibly pack into one show,” said Danylo. “If this isn’t the best show you’ve ever seen, you’ve watched it incorrectly.”

Roman Danylo, who has been entertaining audiences for 25 years, brings The Ultimate Comedy Show to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Oct. 19. The Ultimate Comedy Show takes to the stage Oct. 19 at 8 p.m. at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre. Tickets are available through the Ticket Seller at 549-

SHOW (7469). They are $30 for adults, $27 for seniors and $25 for students. Discounts are available for members of the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Society.

Artists get creative in support of restorative justice Some will also be bringing pre-existing pieces they’ve created. Among those creating art will be former Vernon RCMP Safe Communities Unit manager Terry Pakenham. Tickets for the event are $39 which includes dinner and live music. The tickets are available at the community policing office, 2900-32nd Ave., or by phoning 250-550-7846. Doors open at 6 p.m., dinner is served at 7 p.m. and the auction will commence at 10 p.m. This is the first major fundraiser for the organization, which only recently gained society status. “We’re looking to try and expand the program and have a strong financial base,” said Smith, who explained that the majority of funding for the program comes from the City of Vernon, though the society is in discussions with the Regional District of North Okanagan to become part of its functions. Funds are also being raised to help executive director

The Restorative Justice Society – North Okanagan is turning to the arts. The society will host its first Creative Justice Gala and fundraiser on Friday, Oct. 18, at the Best Western Plus Vernon Lodge. “The public is invited to join our board of directors, staff and volunteers watch 16 artisans who will each be creating an individual piece of art that will be auctioned off that evening,” said Warren Smith Warren Smith, president of the society’s board of directors. The artisans will include sculptors, carvers, painters and more. Each will have their own booth to create their piece of art.

Margaret Clark, a “one-woman show with all of our volunteers,” said Smith. “We’re trying to have additional support for Margaret and we want to expand our services,” he said. Restorative justice is a community-based service that provides an alternative approach for dealing with crime and wrong-doing. The service allows the person harmed – the victim – a chance to meet the person who caused the harm and discuss what happened. “The person harmed must agree to participate and the person who caused the harm must admit to the harm done and agree to take part,” said Smith. In one case, an offender met with his victim who gave the offender a volunteer job with his company as a way of showing faith that the offender was sorry for his actions. The offender did such a good job he was hired on fulltime by the victim.

These meatballs have teeth Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2

he last time we left Flint Lockwood (Bill Hader) he had saved the world by turning off a machine of his own invention, which turned water into food. The machine had gone awry, causing food storms and finally producing thinking food animals that needed to be shut down. In Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, Flint and his friends team up with Flint’s hero, world-famous inventor Chester V (Will Forte) to help clean up the mess. Soon Flint learns that he and Chester V have very different ideas about what Taylor and Howe should be done with all the strange new food animals: Shrimpanzees, Tacodiles and Apple Piethons, just to name a few. We say, “It’s imaginative and fun, with a good amount of strangeness.” HOWE: The first Cloudy movie I loved, yet this time round in part 2 I was left wanting a little more from it. Yes it still has that quirkiness to it, but I felt it was aimed at a higher age group with more mature jokes dotted throughout. But saying that, my little boy laughed continuously throughout it so it obviously was doing something right. FENIN: It’s so cool, I laughed and laughed. It’s very funny. TAYLOR: Both movies have a childlike silliness to them that appeals to the kid in all of us. It’s the simple things that made me smile: Young Lockwood is an inventor whose imagination is allowed to run wild, producing things from the

Sam Sparks (Anna Faris) introduces Barry to a reluctant Flint Lockwood (Bill Hader) in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. seemingly banal, such as “Spray-on Shoes” to the ridiculous, such as a dimension-jumping food transporter (I guess it’s all kind of ridiculous.). But the thing that struck my funny bone was that he does it all from a sort of poor man’s mad scientist lair, where things are needlessly complicated, just to make it cool: He enters his lab through a gigantic pressurized hamster tube, he presses a “code” into the old blinking light game Simon to power up the computers, but it doesn’t work, so he lifts Simon up and flips the light switch behind it. HOWE: Fenin has a password machine to get into his bedroom, but his is an old phone. FENIN: Dad, don’t tell everyone the password. HOWE: I won’t. Anyway back to the movie. It’s bright, colourful and will hold the attention of any youngster, yet for me it didn’t, I found myself wanting to doze off at just after the 3/4 mark. I didn’t

watch it in 3D so I can’t tell you if there’s anything that flies out of the screen at you which maybe they could have done: there’s a spiderburger that shoots cheesewebs and a strawberry that poops jelly to name a couple of examples. TAYLOR: I was forced to see it in 3D, (theatre didn’t offer the 2D as a matinée,) but the 3D effect was negligible, as per usual. However, for a fun, harmless 90 minutes I think the movie holds its own well. It’s not a gut-buster, but it has a few laughs, for the kids and parents. It’s kind of unique in that it shows us strange food creatures we’ve never seen. If you liked the first films, you’ll like this one too. Taylor gives Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 three Jacque Frescos out of five. Howe gives it 2.5 baby gherkins out of 5. Fenin gives it 5 strawberries out of 5. Cloudy with a Chance Meatballs 2 is currently showing at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Ken Smedley presents THE

CONTENDERS Wed, Oct. 30 - 7:30 PM Zion United Church Hall, Armstrong

A solid offering from Kings Kings of Leon: Mechanical Bull

he Tennessee family band, Kings of Leon, have distilled their early swaggering Southern rock into important-sounding songs on their sixth album, Mechanical Bull. The Nashvillerecorded album, produced by long time associate and co-writer/producer, Angelo Petraglia, is heavy on upbeat anthems done with Dean Gordon-Smith an earthy garagecentric focus. Fans of the group’s early bourbon drenched jams and vocalist Caleb Followill’s befuddled Elmer Fudd delivery (sounding like he ditched his musket for

Street SoundS

a jug of XXX) won’t find too much in common with Mechanical Bull. There’s some dirty twang and gritty lyrics but rare glimpses of raunch. The group and Petraglia have honed the rough edges but Mechanical Bull rides in rocking and streamlined (Supersoaker, Rock City). The raw appeal of Kings of Leon has always been its calling card; there’s a degenerate charm and innocence — you’re listening to a real band, warts and all. But they’ve had a lot of Brylcream since then. They conjure up some stately arena rock (Beautiful War), but they keep pretension a long way off. The whiskey-forbreakfast groove of their early albums has tightened up and the stagger walks a straight line. The recording is resonant and clear with a fondness for reverb; it’s slightly

suggestive of the group’s lo-fi origins. There’s some excursions into atmospherics (Wait For Me) garage-gospel (Family Tree) and good ol’ dirt rock that drives like a noisy backroad pick up (Don’t Matter) Followill’s lyrics should dispel any fear of softening: “Such a swine lips like wine/ But it don’t matter to me.” They’re driven by instinct and tempered with good direction. The Kings culminate their rock fest on Tonight, a merger of the band’s steadyon slew of epic hard-rocking twang and gritty, groovy melodicism. They take those things and shape them into a bunch of solidly arranged, tuneful rock songs. You can hear a group that’s grown, and the Kings of Leon are trying out different sounds and new voices in an exciting way.

Patricia Donahue launches second novel Morning Star Staff

Award-winning Vernon author Patricia Donahue is launching her second novel next week, Mighty Orion - Secrets, at the Vernon library. The evening of literary readings will include “Readings from Writers,” (members of the Federation of BC Writers) and others. A sequel to Mighty Orion - Fate, this second novel was “baptized” in the Atlantic salt chuck. Donahue introduced it earlier, 3,000 miles away, in the very setting of the fictitious Kilkenny family, Dalhousie, Northern New Brunswick. Mighty Orion - Secrets continues the family saga that spans four generations, weaving in and out as personal disclosure spurs further disclosure, and understanding leads to emotional healing. The stories — there are stories within stories — brings the reader back to the time when tall ships were used in commercial trade, and merchant sailors hailed in large numbers from Atlantic Canada. At one time, 45 per cent of the ships on the Seven Seas were constructed in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The Bank of Canada was built on this industry. With the sympathetic ear of his son Joe, a salmon fisherman from the west coast, and the love of his wife, Clara, Percy, the Kilkenny patriarch, opens up about the hardships of his life: his running away to sea at age 13, and the harshness and adventures that followed. Having run his own family with the authority of a sea captain, Percy has many bridges to mend with his now-adult children who show up with problems of their own. “... that day I returned, a peculiar thought came to mind. Funny how it is you recall them things. I was thinking how the handsomeness of the house on the outside didn’t let on what was happening on the inside,” Percy, in an excerpt from Mighty Orion - Fate. The story also explores the issue of nursing home placement of the elderly. The novels take place in the early ‘70s when nursing homes were being introduced in larger numbers. Adjustments by family members and societal attitudes are explored. Donahue comes from a bilingual family of mariners and ship builders.

“...but always there was a boat to take our family of nine out on the Bay of Chaleur.”

Fall in Love

— Patricia Donahue

“We never owned a car,” she says, “but always there was a boat to take our family of nine out on the Bay of Chaleur. “My father was at the helm and he made sure there was always a large cabin to shelter the little ones in bad weather.” Following the tradition, Donahue is a tall ship sailor having earned her Level 1 Seamanship in 2004, aboard the 180-ft. tall ship, Bark Europa, registered in the Netherlands. She has a background in nursing, education and counseling psychology from which she draws for her writing. She has taught writing at UBC-O for four years, including summer writing camps, presented at writers’ fairs, has given workshops on a variety of writing genres, edited, and sat on writing-discussion panels. She has short stories published in Kelowna’s Event magazine, in several anthologies, and is a recent contributor to the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. See her hairraising story, Bruno’s Bruin, in the sub-titled edition, O Canada; The Wonders of Winter, coming out Nov. 5. In 2012, she was the winner of the Okanagan Literary Arts Award. Donahue’s launch of her new novel is part of what she calls an entertaining evening. “And if you can sing a sea shanty you’ll be especially welcomed,” she said. Mighty Orion - Secrets is published by Borealis Press, Ottawa. The literary evening takes place Oct. 10 from 6:45 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. at the Vernon library. Admission is free, and includes refreshments and door prizes. Both novels will be on sale, with the author available to sign.

Winter warming up jeff nagel Black Press

Climate change will likely mean warmer, rainier winters in B.C. as well as reduced summer stream flows, a forum in Vancouver heard Monday as new international findings were released. Dr. Francis Zwiers, director of the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium (PCIC) and vice-chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) working group 1, said projections for B.C. point to further warming of 2.9 degrees in the winter and 2.4 degrees in the summer by 2100, under a moderate carbon emission scenario. Winter warming on that scale could translate into 17 to 51 more days per year of frost-free conditions, he told the forum, in the wake of the already measured reduction of 24 annual frost days since 1900 and a 2.1-degree increase in the province’s winter temperatures. While a longer growing season might be a boon to gardeners and farmers, Zwiers noted warming winters have also allowed unwanted species like the mountain pine beetle to flourish and wreak havoc on Interior forests. “That’s an impact that has been linked to a changing climate,” Zwiers said. “You can just imagine there would be many other organisms that would find B.C. to be a much more hospitable place to live, even in a slightly warmer climate than we have at the moment, or a slightly wetter climate than we have at the moment.” PCIC researchers projected climate changes in B.C. over the rest of this century using the same models as the IPCC. Winter warming would be greater in the northeast than other parts of the province, while summer warming projections are roughly uniform.

The mountain pine beetle may not be the only undesirable species to exploit warming temperatures in B.C. as a result of projected climate change. Zwiers said the modeling shows winter, spring and fall precipitation will increase in B.C., with a 10 per cent increase in precipitation in winters expected and summers potentially getting wetter in the north but drier in the south. Wetter, warmer winters could affect the province’s supply of water for drinking, farming, power generation and salmon migration. With less water being stored as snow over the winter, Zwiers said, B.C. can expect higher amounts of winter and spring runoff, leaving less behind in the upper elevations to deliver water in summer. The new IPCC report reiterated that the planet is warming and people are the probable cause. But some observers criticized it for downgrading projected temperature increases due to a 15-year “pause” in average surface temperature rise. Zwiers maintained human influence is clear and action is urgently needed to both reduce emissions and adapt to expected “substantial” impacts. The IPCC report predicts Canada will face more warming than the global average, along with more frequent and more intense extreme weather events.

Smart meter opt-out fee mandate ordered tom fletcher Black Press

Energy Minister Bill Bennett has issued a cabinet order to the B.C. Utilities Commission to make sure it approves fees high enough to cover the costs of customers opting out of BC Hydro’s smart meter program. The order in council, signed by Bennett and Environment Minister Mary Polak, instructs the independent regulator to approve extra fees sufficient to meet the cost of manually reading mechanical electricity meters that remain in use, or collecting readings from digital meters that have their radio transmitter turned off on request of the customer. The order also directs the BCUC to approve fees to cover the costs of “failed installations,” either because the cus-

tomer refused or because an obstacle was placed in the way of the installer. A spokesman for Bennett confirmed that the BCUC may still decide to lower the opt-out fees proposed by BC Hydro, or it may increase them if costs warrant. BC Hydro sent letters in September to about 60,000 residential customers who have refused wireless meters, giving them until December to choose. If customers insist on keeping their old meter, a $35 monthly fee applies effective Dec. 1. If they accept a smart meter with the “radio off,” a $100 setup fee is proposed, followed by $20 a month to collect readings starting April 1. If customers do not register a choice by Dec. 1, their meter will be left as is and the $35 monthly fee will be added to their bill.

The Inter-Faith Bridging Committee presentation on Saturday at the Vernon Mosque will discuss Muslim traditions about death and dying.

A look at Muslim traditions Cara Brady

Morning Star Staff

The Inter-Faith Bridging Committee continues its presentations on life transitions with a talk on Muslim beliefs about death and dying to take place Saturday at the Vernon Mosque. “As Muslims, we are always preparing ourselves for death in how we live and deal with people on a daily basis,” said Imam Muhammad William Creelman. “We know that we will all die. We do our best in life and those who know they are near death make amends if needed.” When someone is dying, family, friends and the community make supplication with special prayers to make death as easy as possible for them. “It is the goal for a Muslim to die with

a prayer on his lips. A person can be very weak and not need to move the lips to say it. It is a confirmation of faith, and eases the person’s soul,” said Sana Mohamed, Inter-Faith steering committee member and Imam Creelman’s fiancée. The prayer, which is in Arabic, is, “La Illah Il Allah,” meaning, “There is no God worthy of worship except Allah.” The presentation will include a demonstration by Imam Muhammad Zubir of the Kelowna Mosque on how the body is prepared and wrapped for burial, which should take place as soon as possible. Imam Creelman will speak on Muslim beliefs about the afterlife and there will be a time for questions after the presentation, followed by a time to visit and refreshments.

Vernon Muslim Association president Hafiz Mohamed invites the community to the presentation and to see the mosque, which opened about one-and-a-half years ago. “It is a good thing when we can get together with people of other faiths in this way and learn about each other,” he said. Imam Creelman agreed. “You can’t have mutual love for people if you don’t know them,” he said. The presentation, which is free, takes place Oct. 5 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Vernon Mosque, 3414-17th Ave. Visitors are reminded to show respect by dressing modestly and removing shoes when entering the building. Women are requested to wear scarves over their hair. Look for signs for the men’s and women’s entrances.

Life GivinG ThrouGh Music ATOMS. An atom is itself an ordered world of enormous power with many component parts: mesons, protons, quarks and electrons, spinning round in tight orbits held in place by charges so strong that, burst apart, the energy released from a few kilograms could flatten any city and destroy a million people. How did all this energy become locked so neatly into the atom? It can take courage to challenge the status quo. The alternative is belief in an intelligent, all-powerful Creator.

Malina Tetz, nine, plays keyboard at the recent Heron Grove garage sale. She has recently earned a bronze Community Service award from the B.C. Registered Music Teachers Association, which she earned by regularly performing in care facilities and retirement residences. Malina studies with Vernon music teacher Lyn Taron, whose students have performed for the past two years during the Heron Grove garage sale. “It’s a different experience than a usual recital and a lot of fun,” says Taron. Heron Grove’s garage sale is a fundraiser to help build a gazebo on the second floor patio, to allow residents, staff, volunteers and community members to enjoy the space.

She’s marrying this guy

ear Annie: I recently became engaged to my boyfriend of four years. Immediately after he proposed, I phoned my parents, who always gave the impression that they liked my boyfriend and enjoyed spending time with him. I thought they’d be happy for us. I was very wrong. My mom was really angry and said that I am “way too young” to be getting married. Annie, I’m in graduate school. My dad said that my Kathy Mitchell & MarcySugar boyfriend “isn’t good enough” and that I should “seriously reconsider this guy.” (This guy! Like he doesn’t have a name.) I am still in school, so perhaps this is their way of expressing their worry that if I get married I won’t finish my graduate program, but regardless, I’m really hurt by their reaction. I’ve tried reassuring them, but they keep brushing me aside, insisting I’m marrying too young and to the wrong man. I cannot figure out their problem. We are in our late 20s, which doesn’t strike me as “too young.” And if they truly believe my fiancé isn’t the right person, why didn’t they

annie's mailbox

say so in the intervening four years? Why won’t they give me any concrete reasons for their objections? Sometimes I think what they’re really objecting to is the presence of another person in our small, close-knit family. But it seems selfish of them to place the current family dynamic over my future marriage and happiness. Kids grow up. They get married. I never in my wildest nightmares thought my engagement would be such a source of anger. What do you think about this? — Sad Bride-To-Be Dear Sad: It does seem as though your parents suddenly realized that you are leaving the nest and they are panic stricken. Since they refuse to discuss their reasons with you, please ask a trusted friend or family member to intercede on your behalf and try to ascertain whether their objections have any justification. But ultimately, the decision about marriage belongs to you. We hope your parents will welcome your groom into the family instead of pushing you both away. Dear Annie: I am 84 and have five children, 10 grandchildren and 18 greatgrandchildren. I am twice widowed, and one of my boyfriends also died. I now have a new boyfriend. He is upset with two of my daughters-in-law and a son-

in-law because when they see me they say, “Hello, Mother-in-Law!” He says they are being disrespectful for not using my name. He says they should call me “Grandma” or “Mom” or my given name. This has caused a problem between us. What do you think? — J.G. Dear J.G.: Your boyfriend has no business issuing orders about how your children or their spouses address you. If it doesn’t bother you, it shouldn’t bother him. He sounds bossy and controlling. Tell him to back off. Dear Annie: “Phone Me,” the 28-yearold who did not find out about her high school reunion because she isn’t on social media, needs to be proactive. Don’t blame others because you didn’t seek out the information. If you know it is the 10th year of your graduation, contact the school or ex-classmates and find out whether anything is planned. I have been on every reunion committee since I graduated in 1979. We do the best we can to contact people. However, it gets expensive sending out invitations by regular mail. Word of mouth and seeking out the information is key. So perhaps in anticipation of the next reunion, “Phone Me” could make the effort to find out instead of being “left out.” — Mary in Ventura, Calif.

Education minister responds to cost concerns tom fletcher Black Press

Education Minister Peter Fassbender says boards protesting the

cost of a 3.5 per cent raise for school support should have known it was coming, but some opted to wait and hope

for an NDP government to take over. Fassbender said in an interview that school trustees have been work-

ing with the education ministry for months on “savings plans.” They knew the B.C. Liberal government would not

increase budgets to cover a raise for workers who haven’t seen one in four years, and have been without a contract

for more than a year. “I think there was some hope on the part of some [trustees] that we would, with our backs to

the wall perhaps, come up with additional dollars,” Fassbender said. “And the other reality, quite honestly, was that up until May 14 there was some anticipation that there was going to be a change of government.” Trustees around the province are grappling with added costs for contracts with 69 union locals representing education assistants, bus drivers, custodians and crossing guards. Mostly members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, support staff workers are currently voting on a two-year tentative agreement that is already more than halfway to expiring next June. Union locals and boards of education must all vote to ratify the agreement by December for it to take effect. It includes a one per cent raise retroactive to July 1, another two per cent starting Feb. 1 and 0.5 per cent in May 2014. Districts calculate costs from the deal to be more than $2 million in Vancouver, $700,000 in Chilliwack and proportional amounts in other districts, most of which have already cut services due to declining enrolment. Fassbender said the support staff settlement meets the government’s “cooperative gains” mandate imposed on all public service unions, because CUPE chose to accept a smaller raise and protect its ability to bank sick days. The ministry’s new chief negotiator, Peter Cameron, offered CUPE two per cent raises in each year, as other government workers have received, but the tradeoff was to give up accumulating unused sick days. School support staff and teachers are the last provincial government unions to accept a “cooperative gains” contract. Fassbender and Premier Christy Clark have offered to fund raises for teachers, if they will agree to a longterm settlement. Fassbender said the expired support staff contracts had to be dealt with first, and new negotiations with CUPE will have to begin soon.

Okanagan celebrities lead trades campaign Black Press

Three enthusiastic supporters of both the trades and Okanagan College have offered to head up the campaign team to raise funds for the new trades training complex. B en Ste war t, Dennis Gabelhouse and Mike Roberts will be front and centre as Okanagan College ramps up its efforts to raise $7 million towards the new $33-million facility at the Kelowna campus. Stewart, who was the Westside-Kelowna MLA from 2009 until this spring, is taking on the role of honorary chairperson, while Gabelhouse, formerly with Global Okanagan, will be campaign chairperson. Roberts, a retired veteran broadcaster, has signed on as campaign ambassador. “All three are longtime friends of the college and each has contributed to the success of this institution or our community in a meaningful way,” said Okanagan College president Jim Hamilton. “Their commitment to the goals of the campaign is admirable and I am confident that commitment and enthusiasm will do much to serve the thousands of students who will benefit from our new trades training complex.” The campaign goal is to raise $5 million towards the capital costs of the project, plus another $2 million for programming and student support. The provincial government has contributed $28-million to fund the project. G a b e l h o u s e said this new facility will be the largest trades training centre between the Lower Mainland and Calgary, and will act as a beacon for many young people to enter the trades. “This innovative

and environmentally sustainable facility will help to elevate the perception of the

trades and reinforce the important role Okanagan College graduates play in

establishing a robust economy that will secure B.C.’s future.” The trades training

complex will provide space for more than 2,400 full-time trades and apprenticeship

students. The complex includes a 5,900 square metre expan-

sion, along with a complete renovation and retrofit of another 4,400 square metres.

Sandra (Sandy) Millar was called home to join her Creator on September 6th after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

Sandy experienced many tumultuous times in her earlier years, and it was through the unconditional support of her great friend and mentor, Hidden Wolf, that she found peace and her purpose here, supporting the healing of the community around her. Sandy’s focus was mainly on the youth of our community and she dedicated the later part of her life to working with youth with addiction and mental health issues. Sandy spent many years working for the Friendship Centre as the Aboriginal Youth Outreach Worker, then later contracted with the school district, developing and teaching an aboriginal focused drug and alcohol program, and most famous and well-known by many for her Hoop Dance classes. Sandy also opened her heart and her home to many children in foster care. Sandy is survived by her father, James Millar; stepmother Gherdi Winters; sisters Shelley Gold, Shawna Gold, and Shannon McCarvill; step-sister Dianne Blask; stepbrother Daryll Sheeler; and numerous nieces and nephews. Also special friends Hidden Wolf, Daisy, Shelley, Robin, Sandra, Colleen, Susan, Kevin, Tania, BeBe, and especially Michelle, and so many of our community’s children. Predeceased by mother, Pauline Schnell, brother James (Jimmy) Millar, and husband Al Oda. There will be a gathering of friends and family in honour of Sandy on Saturday, October 5th, 3 pm, in Polson Park, southwest corner. All are welcome. Potluck (please bring a dish to share), please bring your drums, and a chair or blanket. Everyone welcome to share their thoughts, memories, and kind words.

Susan was predeceased by her husband Gerry, of over 30 years. Susan dedicated her professional life as a registered Psychiatric nurse and her personal life to the care and well being of others. Susan’s passion was giving seniors the dignity and quality of life they deserved. Susan was a hard worker and a thoughƞul, generous friend to many. She was always wiling to lend a helping hand when needed. Susan was never one to mince words, telling it like it is. Her outspoken wit will be greatly missed by all.
