Hadfield honours space pioneer Morning Star Staff
A Canadian space pioneer whose contributions have helped thousands of Okanagan youth explore the great beyond was celebrated in style Saturday. Local dignitaries, family members, volunteers, and some very special guests gathered at the Okanagan Science Centre Saturday to celebrate the career and 90th birthday of Bruce Aikenhead, a Canadian space pioneer. The private event was the culmination of a Community Memories project grant awarded to the Science Centre by the government of Canada to capture and digitize Aikenhead’s life story, career, and reflections for the online Virtual Museum of Canada. Aikenhead, a professional engineer, was involved in many ground-breaking projects in aviation and space flight, including the Avro Arrow, Project Mercury (NASA’s first human space flight program), the Canadarm, and
training Canada’s first astronauts. “After retiring to Salmon Arm, Aikenhead spearheaded the science centre’s Space for Space galleries, and designed the Planetarium, which remains one of the Centre’s most popular programs,” said Sandi Dixon, OSC executive director. Aikenhead was introduced by MP Colin Mayes, representing the federal Canadian Heritage department, Mayor Rob Sawatzky, and Canadian astronaut Commander Chris Hadfield, who met Aikenhead on his first day at the Canadian Space Agency after being selected in 1992. “Hadfield reviewed highlights of Aikenhead’s career and noted that it was the work of Aikenhead and his colleagues that enabled him to become the first Canadian to command a spaceship,” said Dixon. “Hadfield also commended Aikenhead’s work for the Okanagan Science Centre after recounting an experience at his own local science centre as a nine-year-old boy that

A two-vehicle crash that closed Highway 97 south of Vernon for a time Monday morning sent both drivers to hospital. Shortly after 8:30 a.m., officers responded to a two-vehicle accident south of Bailey Road. “Two single-occupant vehicles collided head-on,” said Cpl. Gerry Kovacs with the Vernon RCMP. The driver of one of the vehicles is a 38-year-old Vernon woman who was taken to Kelowna General Hospital and was listed Tuesday morning in critical condition. The driver of the other vehicle is a 20-year-old Vernon man who was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for treatment

of non-life-threatening injuries. The accident involved a PT Cruiser and a Mazda. Highway 97 was closed in both directions for a couple of hours. The cause of the accident is unknown and an RCMP collision analyst was called to assist North Okanagan Traffic Services with the ongoing investigation. “Police are still speaking with witnesses, and remain active in this investigation,” said Kovacs. Traffic services investigators are asking anyone who has not spoken with police and witnessed the accident or driving behaviour of either vehicle prior to the accident to contact the Vernon detachment at 250-5457171.

t’s a first in her family Elizabeth Anderson didn’t want. The youngest of four siblings, Anderson, a Salmon Arm massage therapist, was the first in her family to have breast cancer. “I was diagnosed with breast cancer a few weeks shy of my 47th birthday and it was a shock,” said Anderson, the honoured survivor at Sunday’s annual Canadian Breast Cancer Federation CIBC Run For The Cure in Vernon at Fulton Secondary School. “We don’t have breast cancer in our family. There is no history. I am the first, I hope I am the last.” Approximately 620 people took part in Sunday’s walk/run at Grahame Park and raised $54,721.75 for breast cancer research and other initiatives, though organizers said Monday there are still more fundraising dollars coming in. Sharing with the crowd, Anderson – decked out in a black Blitz For The Cure T-shirt with pink writing, black running pants and cool all-pink Asics runners –said her story is not a sad one. In fact, her story is one of triumph, joy and humour. “It’s joyous because I found out when I was diagnosed what a wonderful support team I have around me,” said Anderson. “It’s

Breast cancer survivor elizabeth Anderson (bottom) gets ready to run. triumphant because I am cancer free. And it’s funny for a lot of reasons, but you’d have to know my friends to appreciate the sick sense of humour that we embraced during this journey.” Anderson’s cancer was caught early after she underwent a mammogram, to which she pleaded to the crowd to encourage or nag every woman in their lives to have regular mammograms. And she said she’s pleased to take part in fundraising events such as Run For The Cure because monies raised from such events helped her. Following her surgery, doctors suggested Anderson have the full schedule of chemotherapy and radiation. Seeing the effect of such a schedule on friends and colleagues left Anderson disheartened. But when she arrived at a cancer clinic, doctors asked her if she wanted to participate in a study, which she agreed. They sent a small part of Anderson’s tumour to a lab to be blasted with chemotherapy to see if
there would be any effects on the tumour. There were none. “My chance of reoccurrence was quite small to begin with and now I knew going through chemotherapy wasn’t going to change that,” said Anderson, who celebrated her 50th birthday two weeks ago with a trip to New York with her husband, Craig, and her siblings. “So I was able to make an informed, confident choice to not have chemo. “Any of you who have gone through chemotherapy or nursed someone through chemo know how significant that is. What a gift it was to me and I thank you. That’s what your hard work is doing.” Teams and participants were seen wearing pink- or neon-inspired T-shirts. Two women and a toddler were dressed in ballerina wear and dubbed themselves the Tutu Triplets. Pink balloons were everywhere and participants had their photo taken in front of Rolly Delange’s pink 1936 Chevy truck. Siblings Sam and Sydnee Burke had been
growing their hair for a couple of years to donate to cancer patients. Both had their ponytails cut off by Jasmine Ross of Trendy Tones. Run For The Cure Sunday kicked off with more than 20 breast cancer survivors – including Anderson – being paraded to the starting line by members of the Kalamalka Highlanders Pipe Band.

“Run day is truly an inspiring day,” said event co-director Lindsay Smith, who has volunteered for five years. “Whether you are participating as a survivor, running for a loved one or friend or just there to support the cause, it’s an emotional and powerful event that brings people together with a common goal of a future without breast cancer.” Donna Mounce is one such person. A member of the Walkers For Knockers team, Mounce was taking part in Run For The Cure for the first time in honour of her aunt, a breast cancer survivor. “She’s in Revelstoke and she had a mastectomy,” said Mounce, from Vernon. “Everything here is great and I’m looking forward to walking for my aunt.” Run For The Cure has taken place annually in Vernon since 2008 and raised more than $429,000. Nationally, participants in 60 communities have raised $30 million. In Vernon on Sunday, the CIBC Corporate Spirit Award went to Team Tolko, who raised $2,157; Bosom and Buoyant Buddies won the Friends and Family Award for raising $2,545; and the Women’s Team Challenge Award went to Inner Circles, who garnered $1,591 in funds. Crystal Sturgeon won the Determination Award, presented to the individual who raised the most donations by Oct. 4. Sturgeon collected $1,720 in pledges. Angela Hemming was second at $1,586.50 and Tara Limb was third with $860. Organizers note that participant Deanna Novak brought in $4,000 Sunday.

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

Coldstream firefighter Tim Green and wife Shelagh were on fire, heating up the stage to win Dancing with the Vernon Stars Friday. Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster and dance partner Ruth Hoyte also collected some hardware, the Community Award, for raising the most money – $6,550. But the biggest winner of the sixth annual event was the North Okanagan Hospice Society, which will benefit from the nearly $25,000 raised from the event. “We couldn’t be happier how the community pulled together to make this event a huge success,” said Jennifer Strachan, event publicist. The sold-out event saw seven couples compete, each raising funds for Hospice through online votes. Along with the winning pairs, the

Along with all the stunning performances, guests were also treated to a glamorous evening. “Our red carpet and photo op for all our guests with Heath Fletcher taking the photos from Sproing Creative and VantageOne Credit Union sponsoring was a new feature and a big hit, as well we didn’t have a spare seat in the house,” said Strachan.

Commission (ALC) the move may have come too late. The ALC met late last week and were expected to make a decision on whether golf course lands could be removed from the Agriculture Land Reserve (ALR). As of press deadline, no decision had been made public. The C entral Okanagan School District and Aspen Grove have a tentative deal in place for the district to buy the land, if the ALC removes a portion of the golf course from the reserve. For Issler and a group of local golfers, the possible end of Aspen Grove would be something that strikes at the core of the Lake Country community. “I’ve lived all over the world and I’ve always valued a small town community with a small golf course where everyone knows

Golfer Richard Issler says if the Aspen Grove Golf Course is sold and turned into playing fields, there will be no reason for him to stay in Lake Country. your name,” said Issler. “I just feel completely at home at that place. This is the lifestyle I want and if they take the course away it takes not only the golf away but the community that we have here. If it’s taken away myself and my business will be leaving Lake Country.” Lake Country golfers presented council with a petition with 327 names on it, hoping it would be enough to sway council to oppose the application to the ALC to remove the golf course from the ALR. Despite earlier concerns by some councilors about the location of the proposed juniormiddle school at some point in the future, council didn’t take any action on the item. For Issler and the other golfers that stood up and put their objections forth, the destruction of Aspen Grove would mean the end of a golf community that includes senior citizens, residents of
care homes, and locals who just want a smaller, nine-hole course, as opposed to the large, resort-style courses. “We only have one golf course and if it’s gone we’ll never get another one,” said Issler. “They may build an extensive one on the hill, but none of us will ever play it,” he said. Among the other golfers that showed up to plead for the future of Aspen Grove Golf Course was Corinne Hayward, a Lake Country resident who suffers from rheumatoid arthritis. An avid golfer many years ago, Hayward wasn’t able to play the game due to the her arthritis until she started playing Aspen Grove, a short, flat, par 3 course favoured by folks who want a quick round, some good exercise and a gathering place. “This is the very first golf course I have been able to play ,” she said. “It’s an easy one for seniors or people
with disabilities to get out and enjoy the beautiful country that we live in, so please don’t let it go.” At the Aspen Grove golf course itself, employee Cheranda Schulz says the course caters to many seniors and groups in Lake Country and is a busy place during the summer months. She says people haven’t been happy as word has spread that the golf course may be turned into playing fields. “I have a lot of upset people,” she said. “Everyone is talking about it. People are 50-50. They are sad that it could go but they understand the educational system needs the extra school.” Aspen Grove is more than just a golf course. It employs close to 30 folks who also work in the restaurant. Schulz says the golf course is the busiest part of the business in the summer months.

Water strategy deal in place roger knox Morning Star Staff
Two Nor th Okanagan communities have taken the first of what will be many lengthy steps toward providing water through a single water utility for its residents. The City of Armstrong and Tow nsh ip of Spallumcheen have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in their joint effort to pursue a cooperative and collaborative approach to ensure that both communities are serviced with a stable, long-term supply of potable water. “It’s a great thing for both the city and the township,” said Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper. “But it’s only the first step. It’s like we’re in kindergarten now and we’re working towards a PhD.” The MoU will build on existing relationships and agreements for the long-term supply and distribution of potable water. There are 14 water districts in the township and the city supplies water to six water districts and about 35 single residences. The agreement will recognize the specific mutual benefits and opportunities, such as grant applications, to be achieved from working together, something Spallumcheen Mayor Janice Brown said the

Mayors Chris Pieper of Armstrong and Janice Brown of Spallumcheen shake hands on the signing of a memorandum of understanding as the two communities begin work on a long-term strategy to provide potable water to all residents. province was happy to hear about at the recent Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) convention in Vancouver. “We have a letter we’re sending off to the province that will include letters of support from Interior Health and (Shuswap MLA) Greg Kyllo,” said Brown when asked if the province had committed any funds towards the new agreement. “Until they actually get our request and
know what we want money for, they won’t answer. All we could say at UBCM was that the two communities signed the MoU. We were feeling the province out, getting them ready.” A number of Spallumcheen residents receive water from the city but manage the distribution themselves. The MoU allows for opportunities like receiving senior level infrastructure grants through a joint community submission.
It also could lead to an improved and enhanced water supply through the potential development of new wells or other sources of supply. “This is not a shortterm fix, but rather an opportunity to plan for a long-term partnership,” said Brown. In answering questions on the MoU from Okanagan Advertiser owner and publisher – and former Spall Mayor – Will Hansma, township administrator Greg Betts said the MoU is similar to the proposition of Greater Vernon Water consolidation, which took into account issues such as agricultural water and existing agreements. Taking part in the MoU is voluntary, and Betts said the goal of the long-term strategy is to make sure everybody has the water they currently have for the same or less price and the quality. “What we’re saying is we finally have a willing partner (Armstrong) that will talk about all of the issues,” said Betts. “I’ve met with the water districts to lay out in broad terms what the understanding is about, and they know if there are any deal stoppers, we’ll talk about what they are.” A copy of the MoU will be available on the communities’ respective websites: www.spallumcheentwp.bc.ca or www. cityofarmstrong.bc.ca.
Don’t Let Your Windows Leave You In A Fog Dirty Foggy Windows
Many homes built between the late 70s and the early 90s experience sealed unit failure. Unit failure leads to condensation forming between the two layers of glass causing them to steam and fog up.
Is There a Solution?
Yes, the only real solution is to replace the sealed unit. You only need to replace the glass not the frame which means it can be done easily with a minimum amount of disruption.

A call to arms
he report is titled Vital Signs but it could also be easily referred to as Reality Check. The Community Foundation of the North Okanagan has taken the pulse of Greater Vernon, and while there are a lot of good things going on, it’s obvious that not all is well on the home front. Not surprisingly, the issue of affordable housing got an extremely low grade based on statistics from a variety of agencies. Twenty-eight per cent of Vernon households spend 30 per cent or more of their total income on shelter while it soars to 52.8 per cent for those who rent. The average monthly shelter cost for owner households is $1,053, while $905 on average is spent on rent. The median singlefamily house price in 2012 was $332,500, and while Richard Rolke that is down 12 per cent from 2008, purchasing a home is still a dream many families simply can’t achieve. And for anyone who is unemployed or under-employed, they won’t be shocked to learn that the report gave the topic of work two-and-a-half marks out of four. “In Vernon, it’s hard to afford housing and food on minimum wage,” stated one of the survey respondents. “Jobs that will encourage young families to move here,” added another. The median employment income in Vernon is $47,354 for those working year-round, fulltime, while 25 per cent are in the sales/service sector and 15 per cent of the workforce are in trades-related occupations. As many of you will know personally, both sales/service and trades have been rocked during the recession. Twenty-five per cent of the workforce is part-time, and while some of that may be

through personal choice, for others, it’s all they can find. There was also an interesting focus on the gap between rich and poor, which the report says, “affects health, crime, housing and prosperity which impact us all.” Fifteen per cent of households in 2010 were considered low-income with an after-tax income below $38,920 (19 per cent of children and 13 per cent of the elderly also live in lowincome households). According to the report, a so-called living wage is $17 to $18 an hour so a family of four with two parents working full-time can pay for necessities, support the healthy development of their children, be active in their community and escape financial stress. Minimum wage is $10.25. The median 2010 after-tax family income in Vernon was $62,208, while it was $24,644 for a person living alone. “The daily battles people in poverty face in regards to childcare, education and housing costs are very prominent in Vernon,” said one of the survey respondents. The Community Foundation has been thorough in pulling together information and painting a picture of life in Greater Vernon — the good and the often very challenging. But during the official launch, no elected officials were present and the only media was from this publication. That’s unfortunate as resolving these critical social issues must be a team effort. Vital Signs is a call to arms to do better, to ensure that everyone feels like they are a contributing member of the community. It is time for all levels of government, employers, labour unions, social agencies, service clubs, educational institutions and rankand-file residents to do their part. Let’s aim for top marks across the board in the next report.
Is the world a safer place for kids since Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd killed herself on Oct. 10, 2012 after posting that heart-wrenching video seen around the world? No, but we have learned a few things since. We’ve learned, for example, that the internet can be a rough, cruel world for kids unless they are taught how to protect themselves and their privacy — and we know that the internet is a powerful tool for ruining someone’s reputation. We’ve seen that vulnerable girls and boys are easily exploited online by voyeurs who lure them with false names and post their pictures and videos, sometimes with devastating consequences. We learned, as well, that rape culture is so deeply ingrained in our society that Canadian university students didn’t see anything wrong with frosh week chants about sex with underage girls until authorities found out and put a stop to it. We’ve learned that it’s easy to troll the internet for photos and then post them, without consent, as a Facebook dating chat room did with a picture of Rehtaeh Parsons (the Nova Scotia teen who committed suicide after photos of an alleged gang-rape were posted). Simply put, laws are inadequate for dealing with meanness and stupidity on the web. Even Port Coquitlam couldn’t find a way to legislate against bullying. But there has been some action. Various services have been highlighted, such as B.C.’s ERASE Bullying website, Kids Help Phone, and more discussions are taking place on the subject. Will all this talk prevent another Amanda Todd situation from occurring? Maybe not, but we can no longer have ignorance as an excuse. Black Press

dogs on the Loose My husband and I moved to Vernon just over a month ago and have enjoyed exploring Vernon and the surrounding areas. On Sept. 21 we drove to BX Park in order to hike from one end to the other end where the falls are. At both ends of the trail there were very distinct signs prohibiting dogs in the park. Throughout our hike, we encountered several people – and all of them had a dog or dogs with them running free (in one case, it was three dogs). Indeed, we were the only people who did not have a dog with us. I have to assume one of three things: these people felt the rules did not apply to them; they do not respect the environment of the park; or they can’t read. d. wilson

great highway Enough credit is never given those contributors to such a massive infrastructure undertaking as our new Highway 97; we do not recognize the efforts to prove feasibility, secure the right-of-way, design, finance and construct such a public works. The magnificent vista of Vernon presented north-bound was not an accident; it took care and attention to esthetics to showcase our lakes as an entry to Vernon. This sets a new standard for how we present ourselves to visitors, and should be the inspiration for other initiatives such as the Kal Lake look-out improvements and the Okanagan College to Crystal Waters trail. Let’s continue efforts at a local level and show visitors why we live in the most exquisite setting in Beautiful British Columbia. ken biss

twisting the ear Remember when your mother would grab your ear and twist it when you were reluctant to do what was right? That is what residents of 45th to 42nd streets would like to do to the City of Vernon public works. This area has paid taxes to the city since 1971, 42 years.
Over those years, the population of this area has grown and the business district on 25th Avenue has grown and the 30-year-old walk/bike bridge behind the sewer plant has been upgraded, the path has been paved and lighted almost all of the way. Hundreds of people walk the path and use that bridge to access Buy-Low Foods, Tim Hortons and the Longhorn Pub. I challenge the public works staff to walk that bridge and use that 150 feet of trail after dark any time this winter. I attended one of the walk trail symposiums the city sponsored in late September and I learned that the city wants input on new bike and walk trails. City planners are you listening? Finishing what you started before opening new trails and spending money elsewhere. Patrick heglund

I revere many of the people who appeared on the list, including the unforgettable artist and professor Murray Johnson and vocational dean Bill MacLeod, both members of the committee that interviewed me for the position I was to hold for the most challenging, productive and enjoyable professional decade of my life. The stunning development of the college system throughout the region clearly illustrates its value to the education and career development of its people and to the economy of the Boundary-Similkameen, Okanagan and Shuswap area of B.C.

had the great pleasure of working with the faculty, staff and management of Okanagan College from 1986 to 1997, when I retired to Lantzville on Vancouver Island to attend to compelling family matters. As the college's first communications manager, my main purpose was to make the programs, people and benefits of the college more widely known throughout the valley and the province. It was a joy to help recruit students, especially into developmental and career technology programs, and to publicize many achievements of students, faculty and staff. Throughout the entire college system, OC faculty, staff, administration, and the advisors and governors, proved themselves to be dedicated, skilled, talented, and above all, caring toward their students and their colleagues.

Carpool month hits the roads Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon is teaming up with other Okanagan communities to promote carpools. The Okanagan’s seventh annual carpool month promotion takes place this month. As part of the program, commuters are encouraged to visit carpool.ca and participate in various activities to be eligible to win prizes of $100 free fuel cards. “Carpooling is not only good for the environment, it is also good for a person’s health and overall well-being,” said Tanya Osborne, community health facilitator with Interior Health. “Carpooling provides an opportunity to relax and socialize with others and that can help reduce stress. “It can also help reduce a person’s financial burden. The true costs of owning and operating a vehicle are much higher than most drivers would suspect.” According to Statistics Canada, the average Canadian household spends over $12,000 per year on transportation alone. Partners of the promotion include the cities of Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton, the town of Oliver and districts of Summerland and Peachland. Carpool.ca is designed to encourage commuters to use the carpool-matching service. Currently 879 Okanagan registrants participate in the user-friendly system, which is secure and free. As more and more people register, carpooling becomes a viable transportation alternative for commuters. Carpool month 2013 prize-winning activities include: • Registering with www.Carpool.ca as a new user, • Returning to www.Carpool.ca as an existing user and search for carpool partners; • Submitting an inspiration carpool story (online through www.Carpool.ca); • Completing the online survey through www.

It takes a village to make a living from art Art & Money is all about cooperation, says author Julia Trops Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Like oil and water or cats and dogs, art and money are not supposed to go together — ask any starving artist. However, Julia Trops is attempting to debunk that theory with her new book, aptly titled Art & Money. The book is based on interactions with artists, businesses and the community and is about an artist’s ability to be independent, and yet still be relevant in his or her community, said Trops, founder of the Okanagan Erotic Art Show and a successful artist based in Kelowna. “When I finished university, I really had no idea of which way to turn because of the lack, at that time, of education on how to function as a professional artist,” said Trops. “This book is one where someone fresh from high school or university can take the concepts and apply them to succeed in their own career. It’s one of many books that can help an artist on their way.” Trops made the decision to write Art & Money after being asked to do marketing seminars. “I’ve wanted to write for a long time,” said Trops, who completed the book while on an artist residency in Spain. “The book is about cooperation: artist to artist, artist to

These are fairly vast subject areas, and they are broken down into manageable parts.” As the book is about cooperation and partnership, Trops is holding a series of book signings at some artist-minded businesses and galleries in the Okanagan.
The signings have been placed and scheduled to give both the venue and the artist maximum visibility. “Partnerships do not have to be restricted to one’s hometown, but can expand beyond the city borders,” said Trops, who will be at an artist-run studio residence in

Outdoor film enthusiasts can journey into the mind of the common skier when he attempts to climb and ski the ultimate mountain. It’s all part of the visual feast in Sherpas Cinema’s latest film, Into the Mind, which shows for one night only at the Vernon Towne Cinema Thursday. Put on by the North Okanagan Cycling Society (NOCS), the Okanagan premiere comes from the creators of the award winning ski film All.I.Can, and is part of the NOCS’ fundraising to create and maintain mountain bike trails and infrastructure in the Vernon area.
“We build, maintain, ride, protect and advocate for new trails,” said Sean Cameron, board member with the NOCS. “We’re the voice for mountain biking in the North Okanagan. The best part is we have a really good time doing it.” Winner of Film of the Year and Best Editing awards at the 2013 International Freeski Film Festival, Into the Mind features stunning cinematography and ground-breaking storytelling techniques, which blur the lines between dream and reality. In the film, the innovative athletic segments are actually a glimpse into a skier’s dreamscape, each one harboring messages that help inform his cur-
rent, real-life choices. Shot in Alaska, Bolivia, the Himalayas and beyond, Into the Mind paints a philosophical portrait of how we balance risk versus reward, why we are inspired to rise to the challenges in our lives, and what we learn on this journey to attain them. Sponsored by Skevik Skis, Silver Star, Skyride Cycle, Attridge, Olympia Cycle and Ski and Sun Country Cycle, doors to the screening open at 7 p.m. with the film starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 and are available at any Vernon bike shop or online at nocs.ca (under events). Limited tickets may also be available at the door to the Towne on the night of the screening.

The
Summerland and a Blenz coffee house in West Kelowna this weekend. She comes to Vernon’s own artist-run studios and gallery, Gallery Vertigo, Oct. 19. Run by the North Okanagan Artists Alternative, Gallery Vertigo is a non-profit gallery that has diversified beyond the visual arts by also focussing on the local literary scene. It is the home of a number of writer studios, writing groups, as well as literary events and recently played host to the well attended Vernon Writers Festival with the Federation of B.C. Writers. “We have also just recently launched a young artists engagement program, so the theme of (Trops’) book is a perfect fit to help mentor art students,” said Michelle Mitchell, Gallery Vertigo’s executive director. While in Vernon, Trops is also encouraging artists to contribute to Vertigo’s annual fundraiser, Almost Famous. Those attending the signing can drop off their “fabulous fakes” —art inspired by the masters— which will be displayed at the gallery before going to auction at the Vernon Community Arts Centre on Nov. 2. “It’s one of my favourite exhibitions because of the fun factor for the artist,” said Trops. Art & Money is available for sale for $15, and can be purchased at Gallery Vertigo during the signing Oct. 19 from 1 to 3 p.m. Copies can also be reserved in advance. More information can be found at www. artandmoney.ca or visit Gallery Vertigo’s newly designed website at www.galleryvertigo.net.

Kelowna blues harpist Sherman Doucette joins Vernon guitarist Cole Leaver for a series of concerts at Lake City Casino in Vernon starting Oct. 18.
Blues vet and guitarist team up Morning Star Staff
Veteran bluesman Sherman Doucette has teamed up with young Vernon guitarist Cole Leaver for a series of concerts at Lake City Casino Friday, Oct. 18, Nov. 1 and Nov. 29 at 9 p.m. The men have played as both a duo and as a full band, and it’s the duo that has Doucette most enthused. “Hearing the blues with just acoustic guitar and harmonica transports you right down south. If you close your eyes, Cole and I sound like two guys on the back porch at a barbecue in the Mississippi Delta. There’s no excess ornamentation, just the rhythm and the blues, so bring your
dancing shoes,” said Doucette. Hailed as one of the best blues harmonica players in Canada, Doucette’s long career, both in the Okanagan and in Vancouver, has seen him share stages with such icons as John Lee Hooker, Albert Collins, Pinetop Perkins, Long John Baldry and many others. He is happy to welcome Leaver to the blues fold in the Valley, and has known the guitarist since he was a teenager. “He’s a very musical cat and he just keeps getting better and better,” said Doucette. Lake City Casino is located at 4900 Anderson Way, Vernon. Call 250-5453505 for information.

Nelson DJ/turntablist Bryx returns to Vernon’s 2929 Nite Club for 13th Floor Entertainment’s second annual Thanksgivin’er party, Saturday. Music Festival to celebrate Thanksgivin’er at Vernon’s 2929 Nite Club Saturday. The show is part of 13th Floor Entertainment’s second annual Thanksgiving weekend party. Bryx has been refining his craft since he first hit the decks at the age of 12. “He has developed a style of high-energy, bass-heavy party music that consistently fills dance floors, no matter what the occasion,” said Josh Brazier, with 13th Floor. “His influ-
ences come from all styles of music — rock, hip hop, jazz — and his mind blowing scratch routines transform any genre into a party rockin’ good time.” Determined to redefine the art of the mashup, Bryx has become known for his strong production style, delivering a fresh mix of hip hop, breaks and bassheavy party tunes. Along with taking first place in the 403 Red Bull 3Style series, Bryx has played Canada’s largest electronic dance music festival, Shambhala, for the last 10 years. Warming up the decks for Bryx will be
Kelowna’s Arise, who plays a mix of jackin, house, electro, fidget, bassline, breaks, drum ‘n bass, hip hop, rock, punk and so on. “He is one of the most underrated DJs on the scene and is notorious for leaving fans wanting more,” said Brazier. Also opening is Vernon’s own Molokaii, aka Solomon “Solo” Kaleikini, who is no stranger to the world of bass, having played electric bass guitar for many years in a number of bands. He also built custom bass guitars under the name kemaguitars. “He has a huge local

following and a tendency to pack the dance floor early in the evening, something that is not usually easy to do,” said Brazier. Molokaii’s love for the low end eventually brought him to the electronic music scene, where he has incorporated his ever evolving production techniques to create his signature sound. He often rounds out his sets with edits and remixes and is drawn to the multi-layered musical styles of The Mars Volta, Tool and The Crystal Method. Motivated by the Okanagan’s thriving music scene, Molokaii is a resident DJ at Kelowna’s Arcade and has played numerous times with Sentient Sound (Base Wave) at The Grateful Fed, also in Kelowna. Tickets for Saturday’s second annual Thanksgivin’er at 2929 Nite Club are $10 in advance at the Downtown Internet Lounge, Dunas, and Margherita’s Pizza. “Last year this event sold out, so we encourage people to purchase pre-sale tickets,” said Brazier.

The man who speaks for wolves Gary Alan and Tundra share their message of conservation

From Gary Alan’s home at the northern end of Vancouver Island, it’s a 940 km one-way trip to Vernon. But to share his message of understanding and awareness about wolves, it’s a small price to pay. Alan was in Vernon recently for his presentation, Who Speaks For Wolf, for the Sustainable Environment Network Society and for students at JW Inglis and Harwood elementary schools. “Who Speaks For Wolf is my journey to educate the public on canis lupus and to promote conservation efforts to provide protection for this wonderful, misunderstood animal,” said Alan. “It is a way for the wolf ’s voice to be heard and acknowledged.” With his wolf, Tundra, at his side, Alan discusses the importance of wolves to the ecosystem and, perhaps the highlight, invites the kids to get up close to the animal that most people have never seen, let alone have the chance to touch. “I had dogs all my life, but I’ve always loved wolves and a lot of it goes back to reading Farley Mowat’s book, Never Cry Wolf,” said Alan, who welcomed his first wolf hybrid to the family 10 years ago, when he and his wife acquired Meshach. “He wasn’t as much wolf as I’d been told, but I did my research and I wanted to get a mate for him, not to breed, but just to keep each other company.” He found a breeder in Alberta, and Tundra was born March 28, 2007. Three weeks later, he brought her home to meet her “brother.” While dogs are generally left with their mother until they are eight weeks old, Alan said a wolf needs to be brought home much sooner to allow for bonding. “That’s where people have a lot of problems with these animals; they get them too late. “I bottle-fed her and she fit into the palm of my hand.” Alan built a large plywood enclosure for her, covered with a towel to ensure darkness, simulating a den-like atmosphere. Less than one month later, Tundra was able to climb out

At five weeks, she was already figuring things out.” With Meshach curious about his new sibling, Alan put him on a leash to keep Tundra safe from getting stepped on by the 110-pound half wolf/ half malamute. “He was curious and had this look on his face as if to say, ‘who’s this impertinent little pup?’ They’re the best of buddies now. When I did schools on the island, I left Meshach at home and he howled and paced until we got home.” Now when he travels, Alan brings both animals on the road, although only Tundra does the classroom visits. “They’re so bonded together, I couldn’t separate them. Wolves are very playful, from pups to older adults.” For the past five years, Alan has been conducting presentations on wolves for schools and community groups, visiting more than 120 schools and seeing more than 17,000 students and teachers. Tundra is the star of the show as she gently interacts with humans. “What I like about the kids is that they want to connect with Tundra, and she just stands there quietly.” The key message, said Alan, is that wolves are intelligent creatures, essential to the ecosystem, and the mistake that fish and wildlife officials make is in trying to kill them as a way of protecting livestock.
“If you try to kill this animal, it will reproduce more.” The problem, he said, is that if enough wolves are killed to disrupt the social structure of the pack, the remaining pack members will disperse upon the landscape. Without the strength of the pack to successfully hunt, the young, inexperienced wolves will kill livestock to survive. “The BC Cattlemen’s Association recommends against this wolf pack disruption because it easily turns wolves from no predation on cattle to predation on cattle. “The older remaining wolves will form pairs or disperse to find a mate. Scientific wolf research shows that lone survivors or pairs without supporting family members behave more unpredictably and kill more large prey animals than wolves living in stable packs.” Alan is not suggesting people go into the wild and attempt to interact with wolves, but he said they are not, by nature, vicious animals. “Don’t kill them from your community — chase them away, as you want them to continue to be reticent of having contact with humans.” In his school presentations, Alan isn’t asking children to be politically active, he’s simple sharing what he knows, and explaining how valuable wolves are to the ecosystem. “Children are incredibly intuitive and incredibly smart; they understand that if you take the wolf out, the beavers disappear, and that’s important because you need the wetlands.” Now retired, Alan takes his
wife to the ferry for her commute to work before spending the day with his wolves. They take their first of three daily walks. “What Tundra loves to do is study everything; they do what is called cognitive mapping, they will know everything that is in their environment; one person said if you’ve seen a wolf, it’s seen you two or three times; they know exactly where the prey is.” At 85 pounds, Tundra enjoys a meal of dry, grain-free dog food as well as raw chicken. “She eats when she wants to, usually every two days; sometimes in winter wolves can go a week or two without eating, but when they do, they can eat 20 per cent of their body weight.” As pack animals, Tundra and Meshach are happiest when they are with their family. “They want to be with you all the time; you can’t be gone all day, as these animals will destroy things. “So people get them for the wrong reasons. They are a fascinating animal and it’s so heartbreaking to see the hatred towards this animal.” Alan’s retirement isn’t giving him any time to enjoy a game of golf or travel south for the winter. Instead, he heads north with Tundra and Meshach, taking them to the mountains where they can run free and, occasionally, meet a few of their own. “One day we went for a walk, and there were wolves nearby, howling. Tundra responded to the wolves; she listened and let out two long howls — she was talking to the other wolves.”

Try spaghetti squash instead of pasta
ocal squash of all varieties are everywhere now and I’m looking forward to using my favourite recipes again, unlike when I was a kid and my poor mom heard a lot of “eeeuuus’’ from the eight of us if she tried any other recipe than baking it with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. The thing about squash is that it’s cheap and amazingly versatile. There are great recipes for squash soups, casseroles, coffee cakes, muffins, and so much more. It can be boiled, baked, microwaved, barbecued and broiled,
and it’s low-calorie. For a simple way to increase the amount of veggies in your diet, skip the pasta and use spaghetti squash instead; one cup of this squash has only 42 calories and 10 grams of carbs. For comparison, whole-wheat spaghetti has 176 calories and 37.7 grams of carbs — a huge difference! The fastest way to cook the spaghetti squash is to microwave it! If microwaving a solid, heavy squash intimidates you a bit, you can also bake the spaghetti squash in the oven, which takes an hour to do, but is just
as easy. You’ll take a sharp paring knife and carefully stab the squash in several places all over. It’s a hard squash, so it takes a bit of effort to do this. Microwave on high for 10-12 minutes, rotating the squash halfway during cooking. After cooking, let the squash sit there for a few minutes to cool down a bit. Put on oven gloves and remove hot squash. I tend to under-bake spaghetti squash a bit, so it still retains a slight crunch. Baking time really depends on how big your squash is — try to get the smallest one,

There’s nothing like a hot bowl of chili on a cool autumn day. The Lovely Landing Ladies can attest to that as they look to make it two straight wins among the voting public. The ladies from VantageOne’s Landing Plaza branch are back
we got the most votes.” The same format will be used for the second annual event, which is part of VantageOne’s sixth anniversary celebrations. The public can attend the credit union, purchase a hot dog and then get a chance to sample chili from seven celebrity cooking teams. The one with the most
votes wins the competition. Hoping to cool down the Lovely Landing Ladies are VantageOne CEO Glenn Benischek and his wife, Tammy; VantageOne Realty ; VantageOne Financial Advisors; Baron Insurance; Buy-Low Foods; and, representing The Morning Star, renowned Stagg, Tim Hortons and Wendy’s chili connois-
seur, sports editor Kevin Mitchell. The event has a country theme and will include local square dancers providing entertainment. “There will also be plenty of surprises throw in during the event,” said Sidor. The anniversary event is also being used by VantageOne as a fund-
raiser, with proceeds going to the High River Disaster Fund. The community was ravaged earlier this year by a devastating flood. “We’re actually raising money for a grandma and grandpa who are raising two kids,” said Sidor. “They need help and support, and we’re lucky we haven’t had a disaster like that.”

How happiness prevails
A
er.
lthough they may seem unrelated, two important issues that have been in the media lately are worth considering togeth-
The first is the 2013 Happiness Report released by the Earth Institute of Columbia University through their Centre for Economic Performance. This report looks at a number of variables that contribute to our happiness as individuals. These include income, which means - that to some extent - money can buy happiness. The negative impact on general and mental health Jane Muskens when living on little or no income has been well documented. This then leads to another variable: health. People who have poor health tend to struggle with day-to-day living which can make it difficult to feel happy about your current state. The third is having the freedom to make your life. In other words, this means having the ability to make your own choices to where and how you live. Having enough opportunities to change what you don’t like about your life generally leads to more happiness. This is where the report looked into living in a corruption-free society where people have the freedom to pursue their own course; that led to greater human/societal development and enhanced one’s ability to master strengths and interests. The other issue in the media I’ve seen lately has been the number of young adults still living at home. In one article it said there are 21.6 million adults in America aged 18 to 31 still living with mom and dad. This is 36 per cent of this cohort. Coupled with a high youth unemployment rate in many countries (Canada’s rate is currently sitting at about 14 per cent), no wonder many young adults can’t afford to move out. There is nothing like being fiscally independent from your parents, which can be one of the most rewarding aspects of maturing and moving on with your life – thus leading to greater happiness. Not being able to do this can have devastating consequences and in the long-term can lead to many other issues which can impact on the mental health of an individual such as chronic depression.

Young and old farmers unite Morning Star Staff
Armstrong Food Initiative Society (AFIS) and Young Agrarians – South Interior (YA) are co-hosting a multi-generation potluck to link new farmers with experienced farmers. The Chat n’ Chew multi-generation potluck will be held at the Armstrong Bible Chapel Hall on Sunday, Oct. 20. Doors will open at 5 p.m. and introductions will begin at 6 p.m. In their first collaboration, AFIS and YA aim to support the sustainability of the region’s local food system by building relationships between new and existing farmers, sharing skills and wisdom (perhaps even initiating long-term mentoring relationships), and tapping into potential land linking opportunities. Jenica Frisque of the Young Agrarians will facilitate engaging activities to help the stories to flow and laughter to flourish throughout the potluck dinner that will follow the Opening Circle. For those interested in attending, and in Young Agrarian fashion, please bring a dish serving eightto-10 people and your own plate, cutlery, and cup. AFIS will provide light drink refreshments. An RSVP is required and can be made to Ute (250-546-8986), Jill (250-546-8335) or Lisa (dlscott@ telus.net).
This is where education can play a vital role in helping young people not only get a job, and afford to move away from the family home, but can lead to a more happy, satisfying life. Any young person today, seeking independence and happiness, needs to start looking at those careers that provide good job security. These would include the trades, health programs, technology diplomas and university degrees of an applied nature such as engineering. This doesn’t mean that a general arts or science degree isn’t an option, but students entering these programs will benefit from a plan, especially if they are incurring a student loan. With a good education and a promising job outlook, happiness should prevail. Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College. Comments can be forwarded to jmuskens@okanagan. bc.ca

Cattlemen cash in on gold rush
I
n the fall of 1896, a ragged group of miners got off the boat in Seattle with a fortune in their pockets. The hundreds of pounds of gold that they carried sparked a gold rush that would capture the imagination of the world and earn almost legendary status in the history books. During the next few years, tens of thousands of men and women flocked to a hitherto uncharted area known as the Klondike. By 1897 it was becoming obvious that a gold rush unlike any other was shaping up in the Yukon. Cattlemen in B.C., Alberta, Oregon and Washington, conscious that thousands of men and women converging on a remote area in search of gold meant a demand for food, began to look for the most effective way to get cattle into the Yukon. The cattlemen had several options for access to the remote Klondike. Most saw a route from Skagway over
the White Pass to Lake Bennett, then by scow or boat through a series of lakes and rivers to the Yukon River as the most promising. In the fall of 1897, the first to attempt it was William Thorpe of Seattle, who brought in 25 head of cattle. Ken Mather He slaughtered the cattle as soon as he arrived and sold them at an immense profit. Another cattleman who cast a hungry eye at the Klondike market was the legendary Pat Burns, who operated butcher shops in the Kootenays and in Alberta. He arranged for Billy Perdue to purchase oxen in Seattle then drive them over the same route, arriving shortly after Thorpe and meeting with the same financial success. Over the next three years, Burns made regular drives into the Klondike and used the cattle and the cowboys of B.C. extensively. He bought cattle from the ranches in the Thompson/Nicola and Gang Ranch areas and engaged any cowboys

that he could from these suppliers to accompany the cattle by rail to Vancouver and by a 1200-ton CPR scow to Skagway. There were pens on the scow for the cattle and a small cabin for the cowboys. From Skagway, the cowboys started out on the difficult overland Dalton Trail. Grazing along the trail was generally poor and cattle had to eat willow leaves and twigs as they travelled. The scarcity of feed
for as high as a dollar a pound. Every bit of the cow was utilized. The meat was readily sold; the bones went for soup; and the offal and hides were boiled up with oat or corn meal for dog food. By the time the Klondike gold rush had faded into history, Pat Burns had made a fortune, not from gold but from B.C. cattle. Ken Mather is curator emeritus at O’Keefe Ranch.

Residents will have another chance to drop off their styrofoam for recycling. On Oct. 16 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., residents can bring their clean, sticker and tape-free, bagged styrofoam free-of-charge to the Real Canadian Wholesale Club parking lot (2501 34th St.) in Vernon or to the Enderby Bottle Depot parking lot (904 Belvedere St.). “Staff from the regional district, Venture Training Centre and Interior Freight and Bottle Depot will be on hand to answer questions about styrofoam recycling and other waste reduction programs,” said Karmen Morgan, Regional District of North Okanagan waste reduction co-ordinator. Items made of styrofoam such as clean egg cartons, meat trays, cups, containers, packing blocks and peanuts will be accepted for recycling. If residents are unable to attend the Oct. 16 event, year-round styrofoam drop-off is available in Vernon at Interior Freight and at Venture Training Centre. A $3 per bag handling fee is charged at the drop-off locations. This fee is used to offset the cost of receiving, inspecting, processing, and transporting the collected material. Styrofoam drop-off is also available at the Greater Vernon and Armstrong-Spallumcheen landfills where recycling and disposal fees (with a $3 minimum) will apply.
along the trail became worse as the summer of 1898 progressed and, as the undiscriminating cattle ate anything green, there was a real danger of them succumbing to toxic plants. To make matters worse, the rocky trail ground the cattle’s feet to the quick, making them lame and unable to walk any further. Nonetheless, the years of 1898, 1899 and 1900 saw thousands of head of cattle reach Dawson City and sell

children from child predators. It is my hope that this fall, the Supreme Court will have completed their review of the government’s questions relating to senate reform so that we are able to move forward with addressing the future of the Upper House. The good news released in August was
that revenues received by the Government of Canada were eight billion dollars higher than projected in the last budget, so our deficit will be lower this year. I am certain this will ensure Colin Mayes our target of a balanced budget by 2015 will be achieved. The prime minister during the G20 has tried to persuade mem-
MP rePort
ber countries to set a target of 25 per cent debt to the GDP so that global economies will be less volatile. Canada has the lowest debt to GDP in the G20 which has served us well during the past economic downturn. I will continue to submit columns to the paper to ensure you are abreast of the issues and the solutions proposed by your government in Ottawa. Colin Mayes is the MP for OkanaganShuswap.

have enjoyed the summer in the Okanagan-Shuswap and being back in the riding office. Parliament has been prorogued until Oct. 16. Just so you know, that does not mean MPs are not back to work, it only means the House of Commons is not sitting. Parliament has been prorogued 126 times in the past 146 years so this is not uncommon. Our government passed a record number of bills during the 2013 Spring Session and almost cleared the legislative agenda of the ‘Speech from the Throne’ that began the 41st Parliament in 2011. It is time now to reset the priorities of this government and the legislative agenda for the next two years leading up to the 2015 election. I can assure you that we will continue our Economic Action Plan’s ‘Jobs, Growth and Prosperity’ Agenda. The prime minister has also spoken of our continued “Cracking Down on Crime” agenda with new legislation promised in the fall that will better protect our

Wang claims Prestige-ious crown ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Asked if she had a game-plan for Sunday’s Prestige Hotel Curling Classic women’s final against Switzerland’s Mirjam Ott, Bingyu (Betty) Wang smiled. “It’s a secret,” laughed the amiable Chinese skip who defeated Ott 5-4 in a battle of former world champions Sunday at the Vernon Curling Club. “We just tried to play to our level and play our best.” After picking up a single with the hammer in the opening end, Wang increased her lead to 3-0 in the second when Ott’s final stone picked after catching some debris, allowing the Chinese rink to steal a deuce. The teams exchanged single points in the third and fourth ends, and Ott pulled to within one at 4-3 in the fifth by calmly drawing to the button with her final stone for one sure point. A measurement against two Wang stones was needed to determine a second point for Ott, who won the world title in 2012. Wang, the 2009 world champ, scored a single in the sixth. After a blank in seven, the match came down to the last rock in the last end. Ott was laying one and needed to pick a Wang stone out of the four-foot to score a deuce and send the match to an extra end. But Ott’s final stone sailed through the house. Wang, who lost the 2008 Ford women’s world championship to Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg at Kal Tire Place, picked up $9,000 for the win. Her rink went undefeated in the four-day cashspiel. “Vernon is good for us and it’s a good start to the year for us,” said Wang. “Every year we come here to play, we know
it here, we know there’s lots of good teams and good curlers here. This year is a hard year as it’s a qualifying year for the Olympics so this was good experience for us.” Ott pocketed $6,500 for finishing second, the first time her rink has reached the final in Vernon. “We’re pretty happy that we came so far this time,” said Ott shortly after the defeat. “We struggled a little bit in the beginning. My last rock had the pick in the second end and they stole two, then it was hard to get ahead because they were shooting very well. It’s tough to come back against a good team like that.” Sunday was playoff day for the eight qualifying rinks. Wang advanced to the championship with a 7-3 quarterfinal victory over current world champ Eve Muirhead of Scotland, then prevented an all-Swiss final with a 6-5 semifinal win over Michele Jaggi of Bern. Ott’s Davos-based quartet beat Kelowna’s Kelly Scott 7-6 in the morning quarterfinals, then reached the championship match with a 5-4 decision over the top qualifier, Stefanie Lawton of Saskatoon. Semifinalists collected $5,000 while those making it to the quarterfinals won $3,000 each. Vernon’s Robbi Kuhn went 1-3 in the cashspiel. Kuhn, supported by third Karla Thompson, second Brooklyn Leitch and lead Michelle Ramsay, opened with a 5-3 loss to Muirhead. The Vernon foursome bounced back to defeat Allison Pottinger of Minnestoa 7-5 before being eliminated with a 6-2 loss to Russia’s Anna Sidorova, and a 7-3 setback to Amber Holland of Regina.

Kevin Koe has been a model of consistency this season. He and his Calgary-based rink of third Pat Simmons, second Carter Rycroft and lead Nolan Thiessen have reached either the finals or semifinals in each of the three World Curling Tour events they have entered this year. Koe, a former world champion (2010, Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy), put it all together for his first cashspiel win Monday at the $26,000 Prestige Hotels Curling Classic at the Vernon Curling Club. The Alberta foursome brushed back reigning U.S. men’s champion Brady Clark 6-5 in the championship game to pocket $7,500. The Vernon spiel has been a cash cow for the 38-year-old Koe, a Yellowknife native who collected back-to-back titles in 2009 and ‘10. “We always like coming out here,” said Koe, who blanked the seventh end, and then ran Clark
out of rocks in eight. “You know you’re going to get good ice and it’s always been one of our favourite spiels.” With the Olympic trials for the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia set for early December, Koe is pleased with his rink’s steady play. They won five straight games to claim the Prestige crown, including a 5-4 semifinal win over China’s Rui Liu. “Everything this year is gearing up towards the trials and part of that is going to spiels where there’s good ice because that’s what it’ll be like (in Winnipeg).” Clark and Koe began the final trading deuces, with Koe taking a 4-2 lead into the fourth end. The rinks swapped singles in four and five before Clark made a recorded a double for two in six. U.S. lead Darren Lehto set up a couple of tricky guards, just over the hog line, to open the eighth end. Rycroft made a solid double takeout to pave the way for a Koe draw for the win.

Snakes stun SilverBacks
CALENDAR THURSDAY
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL – Vernon Jr. Panthers vs Salmon Arm Golds, 4 p.m., Grahame Park.
Morning Star Staff
It was starting to look like a pointless, and potentially goal-less, B.C. Hockey League weekend for the Vernon Vipers. Still stinging from Friday’s 3-0 loss to the Prince George Spruce Kings, the Snakes found themselves trailing 2-0 late in the third period against the host Salmon Arm SilverBacks Saturday at the Shaw Centre. That’s when the unimaginable happened – Vernon exploded for three goals in a 46-second span to stun the ‘Backs 3-2 in front of 923 fans. Josh Bryan, playing in just his second game since returning from an injury on opening weekend, ripped a slap shot, high glove side, past Gorillas’ keeper Austin Clark (23 saves) for his first of the season. Colton Sparrow and Mason Blacklock set up the play off a dump-in with 5:15 left in regulation. Logan Mick, also with his first goal, capped a gorgeous three-way passing sequence with Dexter Dancs and Michael McNicholas after a turnover in Salmon Arm’s zone. Off the next faceoff, Vernon worked the puck into Salmon Arm’s end where McNicholas (3rd goal) faked out Clark and went backhand for the winner. The win snapped an eight-game skid against the ‘Backs dating back to Sept. 15, 2012. Vernon (4-4-1-2) is tied with Salmon Arm (5-5-0-1) for fourth in the Interior Division, six points back of the first-place West Kelowna Warriors (8-2-0-1). “It was one shift of hockey and we scored three goals,” said Williamson, who was impressed by how the Vipers rebounded from a dismal effort Friday. “It was good to see after we had battled some adversity. It was good for them to

Bones too! have some success in a rink we haven’t had a lot of success in.” The Vipers’ misfortune started when netminder Austin Smith left the game with a suspected groin injury 4:45 into the first period. Coming in cold, Danny Todosychuk gave up a shorthanded goal to the SilverBacks’ Taylor Maruya late in the period, but was rock-solid after that, recording 25 saves for first star. “I was pretty proud of our effort for the majority of the game,” said Williamson. “Smitty gets hurt five minutes in and Danny comes in and that’s tough. It (shorthanded goal) could have took the wind out of our sails but they kept working.” Alex Gillies, a Vernon product, collected his sixth goal in three games against the Vipers (half of his league-leading 12 goals are against his hometown team) during a second-period powerplay. Aside from Gillies’ goal, Vernon’s penalty kill has been airtight of late. The
Snakes gained huge momentum in the third period after killing off a full twominute 5-on-3 advantage. TJ Dumonceaux earned a major and game misconduct for a check from behind at 13:55, followed by a Demico Hannoun tripping minor at 15:39. Hannoun picked up an extra misconduct for chirping referee Nick Swaine. “Our penalty kill has been unbelievable lately,” said Williamson. “We haven’t given up a lot of opportunities.” Vernon begins a home-and-home series against the Chilliwack Chiefs (1-6-1) Friday at Kal Tire Place, with the second leg going Saturday at Prospera Centre. SNAKE BITES: D-man Mark Hamilton missed Saturday’s game serving the first of a two-game suspension earned in Friday’s tilt in Prince George. Former Viper forward Craig Martin has goals in each of his first three games since being traded to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs last week. Alberni went 0-2-1 in weekend action.
rected a Dennon Leibel feed for the winner. “It was a good rebound win,” said Webb. “We went right back with the same lineup. “It says a lot about Dyment. In the 10-2 loss he played really well. We rewarded him with the start and he played fantastic.” Scoreless after 20 minutes, the 5-3-01 Chiefs scored first on a goal by Jagger Bowles, assisted by Alex Gran. Still stunned by their listless effort a night earlier, the 6-1-0-1 Knights returned to form in the third period, equalizing on an Austin Garrington point shot. “By the third period, we were playing good hockey again, and if you look at our record, we’re pretty confident in overtime,” said Webb. “When it hit, we definitely caught our stride.”
The Knights cap a seven-game road schedule with a three-game weekend starting Friday night against the Spokane Braves (2-9). North Okanagan then visits the 6-1 Beaver Valley Nitehawks Saturday, followed by a Sunday matinee with the 4-4-1 Grand Forks Border Bruins. Meanwhile, Vernon’s Ryan Beach pocketed his first-ever KIJHL goal as the Chase Heat bounced the Creston Valley Thunder Cats 7-5 on Sunday. Beach scored on a point shot late in the first period to give Chase a 3-2 lead going into the break. The Heat, featuring Armstrong energy forward Travis Church, opened the weekend with a 3-1 win over the Sicamous Eagles.

North Okanagan Knights’ netminder Zach Dyment was shelled for 10 goals Friday night in Osoyoos. When head coach Shawn Webb looked to his keeper to see if he wanted out, Dyment shook his head and went on to finish a thankless night’s work. Webb rewarded Dyment’s perseverance with another Kootenay International Junior Hockey League start Saturday night. The 17-year-old Abbotsford product responded with a 31-save performance, helping North Okanagan to a 2-1 overtime win over the Kelowna Chiefs at Rutland Arena.

Vipers find Compete level in Idaho Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Home Building Centre Midget Tier 1 Vipers overcame some serious bus legs to salvage a 4-4 draw with the Compete Hockey Academy Bantam Tier 1 team Saturday night in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. After spotting the academy a three-goal lead, Vernon’s offence came alive with goals from Cole Woodliffe (2), Jeff Bochon and Mitchell Lukacs in a penalty-filled affair. Jordan Rea set up the equalizer. The Vipers carried the momentum into Sunday morning with an 8-3 win over the Elite 15 team. Lukacs set up Jacob Dolinar for the first goal and then clicked on the powerplay, assisted by Zach Manton and Layne Greene. Rea then pocketed a pair, assists to Hayden Chase and Scott Latwat, and Chase and Griffin Fried. Lee Springer sniped a powerplay goal before Rea wrapped up his hat trick on a shorthanded effort, assisted by Fried. In the third period, Woodliffe and Jagger Williamson completed Vernon’s offence. Vernon bounced the Elite 15s 8-2 in a rematch later in the day, with Woodliffe, Springer and Bochon each scoring twice, with singles to Rea and Alex Richardson. Dolinar had two helpers with singles to Woodliffe, Williamson, Lukacs, Carson Tucker and Nick Higgs. In Midget Tier 2 play, the Coca-Cola Vipers finished 10th out of 12 teams at a tournament in Salmon Arm. Kaden Black turned the hat trick as the Snakes opened the tournament with a 3-2 win over Terrace. The Coke boys then battled uphill for the remaining three games, bowing 8-0 to Okotoks, 4-0 to Kamloops and 7-1 to Prince George. Jarrett Campbell netted Vernon’s lone goal. The Sun Valley Source For Sports Vipers split a pair of Bantam Tier 1 games at home this weekend, falling 6-0 to perennial powerhouse Kamloops, and bouncing West Kelowna 4-2. The Sun Valley goalie tandem of Conor Webb and Kieran Watts faces 43 shots in the loss, and split the duties for the win. The Fix Auto Bantam Tier 2 Vipers shaded the Penticton Vees 6-5 Saturday at Civic Arena. Mika Burns tipped a Nicholas Cherkowki shot for Vernon’s opening goal, with Mason McLennan adding to the score, assisted by Burns and Joe Eggert. The defensive pair of Keeghan McRae and Cody Webb set up Caden Bracken for a wrister in the second frame. Brayden Jones and Liam Hennig drew assists on McLennan’s second

snipe while Burns and Eggert helped out on Cherkowki’s first. McRae’s deflection of a Lucas Halvorson shot, followed by a single from Bracken, sealed the win. Netminder Jayden Jensen recorded 35 saves. The Watkin Motors Vipers opened their Pee Wee Tier 1 weekend with a 4-4 exhibition draw against the Kelowna Tier 2 Rockets Saturday night at the Capital News Centre. Ben King, with a pair, and singles to Eric Noren and Cole Boyarski accounted for Vernon’s offence. Corey Lazar had Vernon’s lone goal as the Vipers then bowed 9-1 to the Tier 1 Rockets Sunday at Civic Arena. In Pee Wee Tier 3 action, the Nixon Wenger Vernon Vipers suffered their first loss of the season Saturday, falling 7-4 to the Merritt Centennials. Vernon battled hard until the midway point, taking a 2-2 draw into the ice clean. Merritt pulled away in the second half. Cole Johnson led the Vipers with a pair while Tysen Fairweather netted a single with a couple of helpers. Evan Trottier scored Vernon’s final goal. Dalton Stenberg made 25 saves. The Wenger crew rebounded by drawing West Kelowna 3-3 Sunday at the Priest Valley Arena. Fairweather, Johnson and Nick Teale supplied the offence while Aiden Trottier and Tanner Wright each got an assist. Stenberg made some strong saves late to As Monday, October 14th maintain the tie.

tournament this weekend. The North Okanagan Knights opened their Pee Wee Tier 4 regular season with a 6-2 win over the host Summerland Jets Saturday. Singles by Michael Kormany (assist Dylan Huber), Griffin Evans (assist Brett Zbytnuik), Wesley Graves (unassisted) and Bryan Brew (assist Evans) helped the Knights to a 4-2 lead at the break. Huber, from Brew, and Kormany, scoring in the final minute of the second period, completed the attack in support of netminder Thomas Burton. Sunday in Armstrong, the Knights kept the offence rolling in a 6-4 win over the Kelowna Rockets. Brew converted a feed from Graves for the only firstperiod goal, while Evans, Kormany and Kord Haller helped North Okanagan to a comfortable 4-1 lead heading into the final period. The Knights put the game away with further offence from Kevin Thomas Walters and Easton Hunter. Caedon Bellmann picked up the win. The Valley Wood Manufacturing Vipers fell 6-3 to the Kelowna Vipers in their Atom Development league opener Saturday at Kal Tire Place. The Vipers found themselves down three goals early, but pulled close at the end of the second period with Hamming stopping a penalty shot. First-year Atoms Bennett Kuhnlein, Jace Weir and Austin Roest showed a lot of heart, grit and determination, with Roest netting the first goal earning the assist on Vernon’s second snipe. Jakob Jones had the other Vernon goal. Weir was game MVP.
Clark hops border for trial buildup Continued from A26
After a shaky 2-2 start, Clark’s Lynwood, Wash. crew (Sean Beighton, Phil Tilker and Darren Lehto) won four straight to reach the final and collect $5,500. They doubled Vernon’s TJ Perepolkin 8-4 in Monday morning quarterfinal play, and then bounced another Vernon rink skipped by John (Johnny Mo) Morris 9-8 in the semis. “We just started making shots within tolerance,” said Clark, a senior business analyst with Liberty Mutual. “Instead of open misses, we’d make a half shot or 3/4 shots. “We picked up on the weight a lot better and just started rolling. You get a few breaks here and there and all of a sudden you’re scoring points.” Clark is entered in the U.S. men’s trials, but a win there doesn’t guarantee and Olympic berth. The winner must battle for one of two spots in an open
international trials event. “It’s a big year and we’re just making sure we’re doing everything possible to be as prepared as we can,” said Clark. “We’re just trying to make sure we’re getting all the best competition here in Canada.” Perepolkin (Deane Horning, Tyler Orme and Chris Anderson) went 4-1 to secure a playoff berth and $3,250 in his rink’s season opener. Semifinalists earned $4,250. “It’s important for us to represent our club in an event like this, even if you haven’t played many games yet,” said Perepolkin, whose 16-month-old daughter, Hana, is already a regular fixture at the Vernon club. “We were a little disappointed with our performance against this Clark team, but they were on fire. We ran into a hot team and didn’t bring our A-game.”

Royals runners-up at home Dodds salvages point for Heat
Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Christian Royals came up just short in their home senior boys invitational volleyball tournament last weekend, falling 24-26, 17-25 to the Cedars Christian Eagles of Prince George in the gold-medal game. Travis Hoogland and Ryan Price led the Royals with both solid back-row digs and power hitting, but the Eagles prevailed in the first set. The Eagles relied on solid serving and passing to pull out the win. Royals’ setter Zac Dubland was outstanding the entire weekend, distributing the ball well to keep the other teams’ blockers moving and scrambling for position. On Saturday, the Royals finished second in pool play by defeating the Mount Sentinel Wildcats of South Slocan 25-16, 25-12. Libero Jake Thiessen paced the team with great passing, while Cole Kitagawa and Tom Wolgram worked hard on defence to secure the win. In the semifinals, Vernon came out with strong serving to buzz the South Okanagan Hornets of Oliver in straight sets, 25-16,25-20. The Royals kept the Hornets off-guard with the strong middle attacks from Tim Bartel and Gareth Frisby, followed by outside attacks from Hoogland and Price. Meanwhile, the Vernon Panthers went undefeated to win their home senior girls volleyball tournament last weekend at the Panther Pit. The Cats dropped their only set of the tourney in the goldmedal game, a 22-25, 25-21, 15-11 decision over the College Heights Cougars of Prince George Saturday afternoon. Vernon opened the eight-team playoff Saturday by sweeping the Seaton Sonics 2-0 (25-7-25-12) in crossover play. They then grounded the Fulton Maroons 2-0 (25-13, 25-16) in the semis. Fulton claimed bronze by outlasting the NorKam Saints 2-1 (25-20, 23-25, 15-6) in 3 vs 4 game. They stuffed the Selkirk Highlanders of Kimberley (19-25, 25-22, 15-13) in the quarterfinals. The Maroons went 1-2 to place third in their pool with losses to VSS (13-25, 16-25) and NorKam (22-25, 25-12, 12-15) before stopping the Mount Boucherie Bears (25-21,23-25, 15-9). “It was a good all around team effort for our girls,” said Fulton head coach Sharon Shaigec. “Beating Selkirk, who is ranked higher than us in the provincial AA rankings, was a great win, and then redeeming ourselves by defeating Norkam to win the bronze was a very strong finish to the tournament.”

Vernon’s Kirsten Dodds scored in the final minute as the UBC Okanagan Heat earned a 1-1 draw with the Thompson Rivers WolfPack in PacWest women’s soccer action Sunday at Nonis Park. Dodds, a third-year forward, put away a rebound off a Jennifer Kidd (5th year, Richmond) penalty kick to help the Heat avoid a weekend sweep by TRU. “I’m glad the girls responded and came out strong to defend the turf,” said Heat coach Claire Paterson. “We had tons of chances and limited theirs, so we’re happy with that.” The 5-3-2 Heat’s Christine Tallon (4th year, Kamloops) and TRU’s Emily Edmundson were stellar in their respective nets. A penalty kick by the Marlie Rittinger in the 19th minute put the 8-0-2 WolfPack on the board. Vernon’s Michelle Smith scored once as UBC Okanagan bowed 5-2 to the WolfPack Saturday at Hillside Stadium in Kamloops. Smith scored in the second half after TRU had surged ahead on goals by Alanna Bekkering (5th year, Kamloops) and Marlie Rittinger (Ashcroft). TRU’s Jaydene Radu (Calgary) netted two straight goals before the Heat’s Haylee Lakovic (1st year, West Kelowna) cut the lead to 4-2 in the 76th minute. The Pack iced the game in the 82nd minute. The Heat close out the season this weekend at home against the Kwantlen Eagles on Saturday (1 p.m.), and the Douglas College Royals on Sunday, noon. In men’s soccer action, the Heat earned a weekend split with TRU after winning 3-2 Sunday in Kelowna. Rookie midfielder Lucas Krivak (Port Moody) sealed the win with a breakaway in the 83rd minute. Enderby’s Corey Wallis scored on a header to give TRU an early lead as they bounced UBCO 4-2 Saturday in Kamloops. The Heat (4-3-2) responded in the 27th on an own goal by TRU (6-1-1).

T:5.357”
The Vernon Magnums kept it close for half a game, but fell 42-8 to the Kelowna Lions in Southern Interior Football Conference Junior Bantam action Sunday at the Capital News Centre Field. After a competitive first half that saw some great defensive plays by Jacob Zyri and Isaac Olson, the Magnums found themselves down by a couple of scores at halftime. In the second half, the Vernon offence moved the ball well, but stalled in the redzone on three separate occasions. It took a big interception by Garret Black-Thomas late in the third to put the Magnums in prime field position, converted by Miles Forrest with an 18-yard run. That TD seemed to wake up the Lions, who responded by scoring on the following kickoff to put the score out of reach. The Magnums visit the Kelowna Dragons Sunday. A trio of turnover hurt the Vernon Magnums as they bowed 25-6 to the host Kelowna Lions in Atom action Sunday.
Tied 6-6 at the half, the Lions capitalized on a handful of Vernon miscues to take the game over. “We coughed the ball up today, which is uncharacteristic,” said head coach Tim Thorpe. “So did they, but the difference was they took advantage of our turnovers, whereas we didn’t.” Carston Disher was a welcome addition back in the lineup, carrying the ball 17 times for 132 yards and one touchdown. Kolby Thorpe had 110 yards on 16 carries. The Magnums got balanced defence, led by Thorpe (six tackles), Gunnar Nyberg (five tackles, forced fumble), Brady Devries (three tackles, fumble recovery), Ryland Croswell (two tackles, fumble recovery), and Ryan Harms (two sacks, one tackle). “Our defence was swarming today,” said Thorpe. “It was great to see a lot of boys get involved and make plays. Our defensive ends, Ryan and Ryland, were coming hard into the backfield and had their best game of the season.” The Atom Magnums wrap up the regular season Sunday against the Dragons in Kelowna.

Meanwhile, Davron Polok supplied the lone score as the Fulton Maroons fell 42-6 to the Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops in senior AA boys football play Saturday at Grahame Park. Polok barged into the end zone from seven yards in the first half. Quarterback Tye Kitzman managed 47 yards passing, completing 5-of-8 attempts, while Polok had 71 yards rushing on 17 touches. Trevor Feeney was a solid twoway player, catching two passes for 21 yards while leading Fulton’s defence with eight tackles. Polok supplied seven tackles, and Max Chapman and Sikandar Ahmad each had four. “This was a tough loss for our team,” said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. “Overall, Valleyview was better prepared than we were and were dominant in the victory. “We did not have the defensive scheme in place to stop their plays, nor were we effective offensively either. We got pushed around by them.”

A first-half aerial assault propelled the Vernon Panthers to a 37-0 pounding of the Salmon Arm Golds in Interior Conference senior AA boys football action Saturday at Grahame Park. Quarterback John Garvie went 9-for-11, distributing 264 passing yards and four touchdowns to five different receivers. Andy Hladik hauled in five passes for 115 yards and two TDs (28 and 10 yards), while Mitchell Pepper added 90 yards and two scores on two receptions (40 and 50 yards). “I was very pleased with our pass protection and passing game in general,” said VSS head coach Sean Smith. “Our receivers caught every catchable ball and blocked very well on run plays. “Our line gave Garvie lots of time to find open receivers which made a huge difference and he made the correct reads.” The Panthers got on top early with a pair of TDs by tailback Zac Kronbauer (nine carries for 120 yards). The Cats were up 34-0 at the half and added a third-quarter field goal by Kronbauer to round out the scoring.

The Sladen Moore Lakers opened their Bantam girls hockey tournament season with a silver medal last weekend in Kelowna. The Lakers bowed 4-3 to Chilliwack in the championship game Sunday afternoon. Chilliwack took an early two-goal lead, but the Lakers replied with two of their own to tie it up. The stalemate didn’t last as Chilliwack restored the two-goal cushion before half time. Vernon scored shortly after the mid-game ice clean, and heavily outplayed their opponents, but were unable to solve the Chilliwack tender. The Lakers fell 5-3 to Chilliwack in their tournament opener, but rebounded by cruising to a 10-4 win over Kelowna and tieing Kamloops in a hardfought 4-4 draw. Needing a two-point spread over Williams Lake to reach the final, the Lakers responded with a 4-1 win. Missing two defencemen, Vernon relied on a team game and dominated from start to finish. The Lakers open the regular season Sunday in Penticton.

A minute before the break, Jim Kruiper floated a free kick that eluded everyone, including Penticton keeper Mike Killick, and bounced into the far corner. Gonzales and Lionel Hoffman, both on a breakaways, made it 5-0 before Carlos Mendonca got Penticton onboard with a cross from 40 yards that fooled keeper Steve Heiss. That was Mendonca’s final contribution as he picked up a second yellow card for dissent a few minutes later and was sent off. Kruiper and Steve Nader added late singles for Browns, while Rob Jackson, on a penalty, replied for Penticton.

Brown Benefits are once again masters of the Capri Insurance 45+ Men’s Soccer League. Browns followed up their pennant-winning regular season by grounding Penticton 7-2 in a rematch of last year’s final Sunday at Beasley Park. Penticton showed up in force with 18 players to face a Browns side that was missing six regulars. But it was the defending champs who opened the scoring at the 15-minute mark when Tony Gonzales raced into the Penticton six-yard box to redirect a precision Larry Kinakin cross. Browns defence held a high back line and boxed Penticton into its own end for most of the first half, resulting in two more goals before the break. The first came from another Kinakin cross that ended

Monfils, currently ranked No. 42, won 6-4, 6-4. Pospisil’s victory also helps Davis Cup teammate Milos Raonic’s pursuit of a spot in the ATP World Tour Finals. Currently in the No. 10 position for the eight-man seasonending championships field, Raonic of Thornhill, Ont. sits just one place below Gasquet and he will now be able to make up ground on the Frenchman. Raonic ousted Polish qualifier No. 79 Michal Przysiezny 6-4, 6-4 in his Shanghai opener.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder TAKE CONTROL WHEN YOU SEE THE SOLUTION George Orwell said, “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.� At the bridge table, though, who controls the present often controls the future. In this deal, how should the defense go against four spades after West leads the diamond king? North, a point-count addict, made a three-spade, game-invitational limit raise with a hand that is worth a game-forcing raise. Apply the Losing Trick Count. The North hand has only six losers: two spades (because you deduct one loser for a 10-card or better fit), one heart, two diamonds and one club. A limit raise shows eight
losers; a game-forcing raise promises seven or fewer. East wondered about intervening with four hearts, but knew that it was highly dangerous. However, note that five hearts goes down only one, which is very cheap if four spades is making. Those double fits are delicious. At trick one, East should pause for thought. From where might four defensive tricks come? He can see the spade ace and presumably two diamonds, but what is number four? Right -- a club ruff in the East hand. However, if East plays a discouraging diamond four at trick one, West will probably shift to the heart queen. East must take control. He overtakes the
diamond king with his ace and switches to his singleton club. East wins the next trick with his spade ace and returns the diamond four. West takes that and gives his partner the lethal ruff. If you can see how to defeat the contract, grab the steering wheel.

JOYCE E. CURWEN
September 21, 1920 – October 2, 2013 Joy (née Davison) passed away under the tender care of the Vernon Hospice. AŌer seventy years of marriage, her beloved husband, David, predeceased her by only two weeks. Her family spent many hours with her recently enjoying her company in the beauƟful hospice garden. Knowing she was not well, they loved her and said good bye. This was an appropriate seƫng to bid farewell to one of Vernon’s prize winning gardeners. Joy grew up in the Vernon/Enderby area, spending her childhood summers at Mabel Lake. David and Joy moved to Calgary in 1946, where Joy parƟcipated fully in her children’s lives doing volunteer work, and later working at the church and the Calgary Board of EducaƟon. ReƟrement bought them back to the shores of Kalamalka Lake for thirty years where she conƟnued her passion for gardening, especially roses. Joy will be fondly remembered by her daughters Barbara (Ken) and Marsha (Bob), her four grandchildren, and six great grandchildren, her brothers Mike (Helen), Stan (BeƩe) and their families. A private family graveside service will be held October 9 in Coldstream, and a celebraƟon of life will be held at Mabel Lake in the summer of 2014. Friends are invited to join the family at a tea in Canterbury Court on Wednesday, October 9 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. to share memories of Joy. Arrangements are in the care of Vernon Funeral Home 250-542-0155.

We will not match competitors’ “multi-buys” (eg. 2 for $4), “spend x get x”, “Free”, “clearance”, discounts obtained through loyalty programs, or offers related to our third party operations (post office, gas bars, dry cleaners etc.). We reserve the right to cancel or change the terms of this program at any time. Customer Relations: 1-866-999-9890.
