Vernon man jailed for crimes against girls ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

ROGER KNOX/MORNING STAR

Connor Michael Tyson Dee, 28, was sentenced to 42 months minus time served for luring, invitation to sexual touching, sexual interference with persons under 16, possession of child pornography and extortion in Vernon Provincial Court Thursday. tim send him nude pictures of herself or he’d harm her and her friends. He took topless photos of her in her underwear in a car outside of Vernon, though McKimm noted there was no evidence the photos were ever uploaded. Another victim said the two met through the Internet when she was 13 and that Dee wanted to start a relationship with her, that he wanted her to have his baby and be his wife.

“I don’t think it’s enough. What he did to those girls will scar them for life.” — Candice Klyne

After she moved up north, the girl told Dee she was going to visit family. Dee met her at the Kamloops bus depot and would not allow her back on the bus. They drove to Vernon, where he fondled her breasts. She told

Dee she was underage. One of the most disturbing facts of the case came from a victim, 11, who said she had unprotected sex with Dee. When Dee was arrested, police seized his cell phone

and computer and found hundreds of folders and sub-folders with pictures of nude females. One pre-sentence report assessed Dee at a high risk of “sexual violence recidivism,” and that he “lacked empathy for the victims – though he did feel shame for what he had done to his family – and lacked remorse.” “In my view, the assessment of Mr. Dee as a high risk to reoffend is sound,” said McKimm.

The offences were so serious provincial court judge Mayland McKimm could not agree on a joint submission of a two-year sentence less time served for a Vernon man facing multiple counts of crimes against children. McKimm sentenced Connor Michael Tyson Dee, 28, to a global sentence of 42 months for luring, invitation to sexual touching, sexual interference with persons under 16, possession of child pornography and extortion, in Vernon Provincial Court Thursday. He was also given three years probation upon release from prison. The offences occurred between 2009 and 2011 with five victims aged 11 to 17. “I can’t agree with the joint submission,” said McKimm. “That is inadequate based on the severity of the crimes. “I believe a sentence of two years less time served would bring the administration of justice to ill repute.” McKimm sentenced Dee to 53 months but considered the fact Dee pleaded guilty to the counts, sparing the five victims having to relive their ordeals in a trial. The sentence was reduced to 24 months with McKimm giving Dee credit for 18 months served in jail. He was originally arrested in Vernon in October 2011, released then arrested again in April 2012 for breaching his conditions. Dee will serve the two years in a federal prison. The court heard how Dee would strike up relationships with his victims through the Internet and social media websites, along with text messaging. Dee demanded one vic-

UP TO

Dee was sentenced to 12 months concurrent on four counts of luring; 11 months consecutive for possession of child pornography and making child porn; eight months consecutive for counts of invitation to sexual touching under 16 and sexual interference with a person under 16; five months consecutive for one count of sexual interference under 16 and a breach of conditions; and six months for extortion. Upon release from prison, Dee, who showed no emotion during the sentencing, must have no contact with the victims. He was given a 10-year prohibition upon release from attending a public park or swimming area where persons under the age of 14 are present or can reasonably expect to be present. That also includes daycares, school grounds and community centres. He can’t be employed or volunteer in something that involves being in a position of trust or authority towards kids under 14. He can’t use a computer to communicate with people under 14 and, in a decision McKimm struggled with, he is not allowed to possess a cell phone, pager or portable telecommunications device. Crown counsel Margaret Cissell and defence lawyer Jonathan Avis did not speak to the media after the sentencing. One person who did was Candice Klyne, mother of Dee’s child. She felt the sentence was too light. “I don’t think it’s enough,” she said. “What he did to those girls will scar them for life. He should be in jail longer because of what he’s done.”

Entrepreneurs tame feared Dragons roger knox Morning Star Staff

Two North Okanagan entrepreneurs tamed the dreaded Dragons. Vernon’s Frank Deiter and Armstrong’s Mark Hanson had the Dragons reaching for their cheque books looking to making deals after their respective presentations on the hit CBC-TV show Dragon’s Den Wednesday. Deiter, joined on the show by his son, Marlow, was on the final segment where the pair pitched Deiter’s Mobile Juice Factory which gives fruit growers a way to significantly increase the value of their apple crop and to create 100 per cent pure, locally produced juice for the community. After sampling Deiter’s juice product, Dragons Bruce Croxon (Internet mogul, founder of Lavalife), Jim Treliving (Boston Pizza and Mr. Lube franchise baron), David Chilton (author of The Wealthy Barber), Kevin O’Leary (investment guru) and Arlene Dickinson (marketing firm CEO) were clamouring for a piece of the $300,000 in exchange for 50 per cent of the company Deiter asked for. Clamouring so much that a frustrated Croxon couldn’t get a word in edgewise and threw his ledger book. “Did I do something wrong?” Deiter asked on the show. “No, it’s just that we’re all so excited about your product which would be a huge help to the agriculture industry in our company,” said Dickinson. It was Treliving who offered Deiter what he was asking before Chilton and O’Leary teamed up for the same offer though O’Leary had told Deiter he hated the fact his product was “seasonal work only.” Deiter accepted Treliving’s deal...on the show. Since then, no deal has been finalized.

Vernon’s Frank Deiter made a successful pitch and was offered a deal, as was Armstrong’s Mark Hanson, during both men’s appearance on the CBC-TV show Dragon’s Den Wednesday night. The show will run again Sunday at 9 p.m. “What Jim and his group want from me is that I deliver the whole package,” said Deiter from Spain Thursday, before he watched the program via Internet. “That means I should be the guy who runs everything including administration or have the people and manage the company, and that’s not what I agreed to.” Negotiations with Treliving are still ongoing. Still, Deiter was thrilled for the exposure for his mobile juice company.

“The fact the five Dragons wanted part of the deal is huge and it’s a product that makes sense,” he said. Hanson, who is president of Modern Waste Products based out of Waterloo, Ont., was only on the show for about three minutes, but was featured in a segment that proclaimed “the Dragons know a good deal when they hear one.” He presented the Dragons with his company’s BinPak waste compactor that trans-

forms waste management and offers businesses a way to save on their waste removal costs as well as enhancing workplace safety. The BinPak is the same size as a standard waste bin but holds up to six times the amount of trash. Hanson asked for $150,000 for six per cent of the business. Croxon and Chilton teamed up to offer $150,000 for nine per cent, which Hanson accepted on the show. Like Deiter, the deal has not been finalized. “We still talk to each other, and they’re still very interested in our business, but they had really big deals come through that was taking all their time this summer, and they said, ‘we really can’t do yours justice and we’re going to let yours go for now,’” said Hanson Thursday. “They’ve been very supportive and we’re chatting with them often, it’s been a really good relationship and experience but we haven’t put any deal together yet.” With 70 people at the Hanson house in Armstrong to view the show, he admitted he was disappointed his 40-minute taping was reduced to less than three minutes. “It was good, short and sweet, but it was a positive experience,” said Hanson, who has no doubt the TV exposure will be a boon for his company. “By being featured on Dragons’ Den, we hope we can discover a few motivated distributors for the BinPak,” he said. “We have been able to increase the general knowledge and visibility of the BinPak through the show and we are optimistic that this has created the opportunity for us to engage potential corporate partnerships in the future.” An encore episode of Dragons’ Den airs Sunday, Oct. 13 at 9 p.m. on CBC.

The desire is there from residents and politicians alike to bring a spray park back to Enderby, but the funds aren’t. “Our city lacks safe, enjoyable, affordable family-friendly amenities, especially in our hot summer months,” said Rebecca Shuert, a local business owner, long-time resident and mother of two. The Barnes Park spray park was closed last year because of concerns children may slip and hurt themselves from Interior Health Authority. “It was a big concern to us when we had to close it down,” said Enderby Coun. Brad Case. To have the old, decaying spray park still in view but unusable is “a sad sight,” says Shuert. And while the old site would still make a great location for a new park, Case notes: “It’s a very expensive proposition to put one of those in.” In Lumby, the spray park and fitness equipment installed earlier this year cost $435,322, with Lumby and Cherryville taxpayers contributing $57,064, the provincial government pitching in with $348,258 and significant contributions from the Teddy’s Angels and Martin’s Devils ball teams and from the Lumby Lions. In the case of Salmon Arm’s spray park, the community initiated the process by fundraising for a new park. “There was a group of residents and families who got the ball rolling,” said Case. Shuert believes that could also be the case in Enderby. “I am positive we could get many local businesses, groups and individuals on board to offer their services and time to get this project underway,” she said in her letter to the city, also offering her own time and services.

“The big issue is the schoolyard and the people going to work.”

Christmass Decoration

Vernon RCMP dispatched a two-year-old black bear that had scampered up a tree directly across from the detachment on 35th Avenue Wednesday. An officer walking out of the rear of the building at 4 a.m. noticed the bear walking down the sidewalk. As soon as the animal saw or heard the officer, it ran up a nearby tree. “We gave it some time thinking maybe the bear would go away. We gave it ample time and space but the bear did not go away,” said Vernon RCMP Cpl. Gerry Kovacs. Officers tried to get a hold of conservation officers but could not — Cpl. Kovacs reach one. As the area is located a block from Beairsto Elementary School, and a block from where many residents use the Civic Arena parking lot to park as they walk southbound toward their respective offices, police had to make the difficult decision to shoot the bear. “The big issue is the schoolyard and the people going to work,” said Kovacs. “We were faced with a situation that had to be dealt with before we start having problems. “We can’t be chasing around a bear at 6:30 in the morning. These things have a way of going sideways as soon as you start entering a bunch of people onto our sidewalks and roadways. It becomes a situation that’s unmanageable.” Other issues for the police to consider were the fact they could not contain the scene as the bear, of course, has legs. And, the RCMP detachment is located in the middle of the city. “We’ve got a potential hazard here but it’s not a hazard we can just block off a street and say, ‘sorry go another way there’s a bear here,’” said Kovacs. “We’re not on East Hill or Coldstream where the bear wandered in a little ways into the city and we can risk-manage the bear. He’s got a lot of turf to cover to get back to his natural environment.” There have been other reports of bears being in the downtown core over the years.

Mom and dad, I’m home

n my last enlightening column for this space, I wrote about the devastating effects of home renovations, and mud. (They go hand-in-foot, especially in the sink hole that is East Hill.) And now, with my home ripped apart and mud-caked shoes now cleaned for the one hundredth time, I have made a tough choice. I’ve packed my bags and run away. Before tongues start wagging — this is Vernon, after all, where there’s two degrees of Kristin Froneman separation from just about everyone — I have not left my husband, yet. I have just left the rotting corpse that was once my cozy, little house, now ripped to shreds with piles of shrapnel (actually the result of ugly beige vinyl siding torn off the house) and rotting wood (our former deck) until it is shiny and new, which could be a while. Me and the kids have decided to take a sort of vacation in the meantime. We’ve moved into another home... at my parents. It’s been a long time since I’ve lived under the same roof as my dear Mom and Dad, having officially moved away from our family home in Toronto for parts out west more than 20 years ago. Sure, I returned home for a week maximum to visit, but that was usually enough – on both our parts. Seven years ago, my parents decided to move to B.C. to be closer to their grandchildren and they also decided that Vernon might as well be the place to settle. This did cause a little issue as my younger sister and her family live in Fernie – an eight hour and very twisty drive from here. But as I told my sister, and parents, Fernie is great if you are an extreme athlete or a hippy who says things like, “let’s shred some pow, dude,” but for retirees, not so much unless you love to fly fish, ski down a range known as the “lizard,” and play golf for one month out of the year. But I digress. The point is, my parents chose to live here, and now I am living with them.

How did I get here? Oh ya, I hate mud. The moving-in-with-the-parents situation is temporary, of course, and it comes with its perks: home-cooked, gourmet meals courtesy of my MasterChef father, and my mommy bringing me my lunch to work, as just happened over an hour ago. Thanks, Mom! But I now feel the need to clean up any scrap that is left behind by tornado-creating children, like right away. And there’s no way I can leave the dishes stewing in their own juices for more than a day. It just wouldn’t be right, and I can’t have my parents thinking I’m a bad housekeeper. And what must they think of my parenting skills? They come from the age of disciplining kids when they misbehaved. And giving treats only when they were warranted, and not as a bribery tool. Sure we sassed, but we usually feared the consequences. They also had our full attention. There were no iPads, iPhones, iPods, or DSs to distract us from them. And when they told us to go outside, we did, and we didn’t usually come back home until the end of the day. Now, I feel I have to take my kids everywhere and know where they are at all times. My son is wise to the fact that there will be a pack of Pokemon cards in his hot, little hands if he is a good boy while we shop. I try to reason with my kids, talk them out of their naughtiness, while my face turns a tomato red from the frustration building inside when they avert their eyes, looking for their tablet or the TV remote. And that’s the tricky part of moving back home, especially with your own kids in tow. Advice is not always welcome. And patience often wanes when, as an adult, you realize that your parents may know best. My parents are not the kind of people to watch me slowly explode. They will want to intervene, offer a helping hand, make it better. They are sweet, loving, strong-minded people who raised two very strong-minded girls, with even more strong-minded offspring. So as my home slowly transforms over the next few months, I will have to transform and become the daughter that my parents can stand to live with. And I know they will respect my choices for myself and my children. And I hope that means I will still get my lunch delivered to me once and a while.

Lead foots and left-lane campers, the province wants to hear from you. The B.C. government is reviewing speed limits for long stretches of highway, and Transportation Minister Todd Stone wants your feedback on how fast is fast enough. The review is not supposed to be about increasing speed limits, but ensuring the province has the correct speed limits in place. Stone, who sees the Coquihalla as a likely candidate for a speed-limit adjustment, says the goal is to ensure those who travel B.C.’s rural highways are able to do so as safely and efficiently as possible. Sounds good. And no doubt, those 110 km/hr signs along the Coquihalla are already being interpreted by many a driver as 120 km/hr. In fact, it’s a safe bet that whatever the decided upon speed limit is, drivers will round up by 10. The big question mark here is those behind the wheel. Cars may be better constructed, but drivers – not necessarily so. Case in point, according to ICBC, distracted driving – typically fiddling with gadgets while driving – is the cause of about one-quarter of all traffic fatalities in the province. Do you want people texting while doing 130 kh/hr into the Great Bear Snowshed? Speaking of cell phones, travel the Coquihalla in winter nd you’re certain to see SUVs ditched on the side of the road, their drivers out in the snow on the phone, presumably trying to contact roadside assistance. One of the hazards of not driving to conditions. Which leads us to hope that if speed limits are increased, highway traffic enforcement resources follow suit. Black Press

conflicting reports I am confused. For the last several years, we have heard local politicians, both from Vernon and the Regional District of the North Okanagan, complain about how dysfunctional the two work together. We hear that there are too many levels of bureaucracy, so things take forever to get done, and complaints about how many members each region has, or thinks they should have. Now, as soon as the threat of amalgamation rears its head, suddenly we hear that all is good, and everyone is playing nice in the sandbox. Well, which is it? You work smoothly together, or you don’t. As a taxpayer, I’m confused. I for one am for amalgamation. I believe we duplicate too many services. I also see many businesses closing in the area, so the city and the RDNO better start playing nice, or there will be no tax base left to play with. I also don’t want to hear how bad

Hospital needs more beds, now

ue to a medical condition that effectively ended my living an independent existence in Ontario since 1982, I was surprised and shocked to discover that in the almost 30 years that I had lived away from the Okanagan and the population of Vernon had almost doubled; Vernon Jubilee Hospital is still dealing with the same amount of beds even with the much overdue and needed new tower to which the ER, OR and Labor and Delivery have been housed. As my medical condition makes ambulance trips, ER visits and stays in the hospital a foregone conclusion I have since my return in 2011, been horrified to see the conditions that our wonderful and diligent medical community, special shout-out to all the volunteers as they would not function without you, have to work under. On one visit I was lucky enough to be put in a bed in the new labour and delivery ward. My single room was the size of my apartment in Toronto with a lovely onsuite bathroom. Don't get me wrong it was a beautiful room.

Friday, October 11, 2013 - The Morning Star A9

Was it what Vernon needed? Not in a million years. My next visit, to juxtapose the situation nicely, I was on a bed in the hallway of an extremely overcrowded second floor in the old tower. My medical care was absolutely as good

things are between the RDNO and the city. If they are working well, then good. If not, I don’t want to hear complaining, once the threat of amalgamation has passed. Bring on the amalgamation petition, I’ll sign it. Bob cail liBeral language What the heck is a liberal fundamentalist? This sounds suspiciously like some jargon lifted from something originating south of the line. Mr. John’s use of the word “liberal” is common American, not Canadian usage, of that word. As far as legalization leading to increased usage among young adults I’m not sure what that would mean as marijuana is readily available now thanks to organized crime, the main benefactor of the current prohibition.

writer of "Skewed Values." I probably don't live in the community where these "six pit bulls run wild, biting both adults and children on a regular basis" as I've never seen this in my neighborhood. If I did I would most certainly take pictures or video to substantiate my claim to the officials as to the activity and actual breed of dogs for identification purposes. I take exception to you reporting a situation relayed to you by a friend naming a specific breed of dog. I find it highly unlikely that six pit bulls would all be on the loose and attacking people together. I'm no dog behavioral expert but every pure bred pit bull I've ever met has been well behaved, socialized and well adjusted. Unless you are positive these dogs are in fact pit bulls you should not report it as such. You are doing just as much disservice to the breed as the person calling the conservation officer on the bears. Not every bear that wanders into an interface needs to be destroyed just as not every dog that attacks

people is a pit bull.

and fill them with singles rooms (much needed in cases of infectious issues), semiprivate and four- and six-bed wards. We don't need country club facilities. We need to be able to lower our surgical wait times and provide the medical care that the people of Vernon deserve. Whoever is making these decisions sit up and take notice. Our poor track record of wait times etc. are just as much a result of bad planning and no actual sense of Vernon's real medical need. And, while you are at it get busy with creating more facilities for elderly chronic care as right now these patients are also being warehoused at Vernon Jubilee waiting for a space at Polson special or someplace like that and we all know what has to happen before a space comes available for that to occur. Those in power please do the right thing and take a good honest look at this issue before it becomes too difficult to deal with at all, and our medical staff throw their hands up in despair and leave the field. lesley ramsdale

program questioned Every now and then you come across an article or a news item that you say to yourself “what were they thinking” and then you check your calendar to see if it is April 1. Such was my reaction when I read the article in the paper City drives pace car program. Using volunteers to calm traffic and ensure that drivers are obeying the posted speed limits, and rules of the road is to invite road rage, verbal and or physical assaults. Who is going to assume the liability when someone gets injured acting as a vigilante? You have to wonder who comes up with these ideas to calm traffic by installing speed bumps, narrowing streets (which are already too narrow), and now having untrained well-meaning people to act as “pace cars”. It seems to me that our traffic demand people should concentrate on moving traffic in a timely and efficient manner. d. macaulay

There is no way a jury could find Joelon Verma guilty based on the circumstantial evidence outlined at length Wednesday by Crown counsel, according to defence lawyer Jordan Watt. “Look at all of the unsavoury individuals” Brittney Irving was in contact with, said Watt as he began his closing late Wednesday afternoon. “You must consider the value of the evidence in its entirety and you will realize when you do that reasonable doubt exists,” he said. Verma, who stands accused of killing 24-year-old drug dealer Brittney Irving, never testified in his trial and he doesn’t need to do so, Watt informed the jury. He has a constitution-

al right to remain silent and he should, his lawyer said, noting the onus is on the Crown to prove he is guilty. From the outset of the investigation, Verma demonstrated he had nothing to hide, answering questions from police officers, Irving’s brother and her contacts in the drug world, his lawyer suggested. He even tried to help find drugs she owed after her disappearance. The implication, Watt argued, is that Verma didn’t know what had happened to Irving. While Crown counsel Iain Currie contends Verma had a “140,000 reasons” to want Brittney Irving out of the way, as he argued in his closing submissions earlier in the morning, Watt’s closing was largely focused on the lack of evidence connecting Verma to the shooting. “Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is not based upon a hunch,” he said.”…When juries have gone wrong in the past is when they have ignored

the absence of evidence.” In this case, there is a trail of cell phone messages the jury has been asked to make inferences from, a string of relationships they are being asked to connect the dots on, and a body found suspiciously close to where the defendant’s own cousin says he helped the accused dislodge a truck he got stuck; but there is no evidence directly linking Verma to the murder. During the Crown’s closing argument, which took the bulk of the day, Currie did not disagree his evidence was circumstantial. “There’s only one way to look at this....one brick at a time,” he said as he waded through text messages, phone records and testimony the jury heard over the past four and a half weeks. Records and testimony show that Irving was working to get together a big drug deal with Verma — her boyfriend at the time — to help pay for her legal fees. She had been busted for a marijuana grow operation on March 26, 2010, he said. On April 1, 2010, Irving texted Verma about needing to make money and Verma responded: “Well, we’re good for that, don’t worry.” (Also in text). “I have until tomorrow to find out who I am going to do this with,” Verma wrote. The accused then referred to a second option to go to the Coast for the deal. Irving spent these last days leading up to her death searching for marijuana for this big drug deal, believed to be for around 70 pounds. She grew increasingly stressed on April 5, the day before she

disappeared, and put off meeting with Verma, the text messages showed. On the April 6, she was still working to fill the order and at 12:32 p.m. “WTF?” Verma texted her. “Babe, just relax. I’m trying to hustle. Sorry, I’ll try to be there soon,” she wrote back. “If I have to go to the Coast, I want to leave now,” he wrote. “So you make the call.” Just after 1 p.m., she texted and said she would meet with him in 10 minutes. More than two and a half hours later, he sent her a text saying he had been waiting for her all day. Verma later told police he never met up with Irving that day and he wasn’t the one helping her with the big deal. He was just waiting to meet up for a two pound deal, he suggested. But a two-pound deal wouldn’t pay Irving’s lawyer’s bills, the purpose for her last dealings, the Crown argued. “Mr. Verma’s statements are fabrications,” said Currie. “It’s part of the pattern of deception.” During the investigation, Verma told police that instead of investigating him for her murder, they should be looking at what Irving was doing. “Look at the houses she lost, look at the money she lost,” Verma told an officer two weeks before his arrest. Irving’s partner in the grow operation testified Irving didn’t owe anyone money after the bust and drug brokers she was dealing with said she was doing the deal to raise money for legal fees. They didn’t have a motive to kill her, said Currie.

The only person with a motive to kill Irving was “the one she was doing the big drug deal with.” Verma “had approximately 140,000 reasons to want Ms. Irving out of the way,” said Currie, referring to the value of the marijuana Irving had with her when she went missing. Currie said Verma fabricated an alibi for where he was the day Irving went missing, telling police he was with his cousin all day. “He knows that’s not true,” said Currie. “He shifts the blame because he knows he is to blame.” His cousin, Jason Labonte, testified at trial that Verma was with him for much of the day, and at one point saw Irving with Verma in his driveway. Verma eventually left, but contacted Labonte mid-afternoon after he was stuck in the mud. Labonte drove out to the McCulloch Forest Service Road area to assist Verma, who was driving another man’s truck. When Labonte later took police to the location, they found Irving’s body nearby. She had been shot four times, including twice in the back. Irving was dressed in a jacket and shoes left in the truck by the owner, Mike Roberts. Roberts testified that he was told by Verma not to tell anyone he lent out his truck that day and that he had to “take the fall” or Verma would kill him and his family. The defence is expected to wrap up closing arguments Thursday morning and the judge will then charge the jury before deliberations begin.

Trees are finally falling in the long-anticipated Monashee Community Forest. Tender was recently awarded for the 21,596 cubic metre community forest – a co-operative between the Village of Lumby and Splatsin First Nation. “I’m looking forward to getting some trees on the ground and some money in the coffers,” said Lumby Mayor Kevin Acton. “This is going to be a milestone for Lumby.” The area borders the village and Silver Star Provincial Park and then goes north to Putman Creek (Trinity Valley). The community forest is managed by a committee consisting of representatives from the village and the Splatsin First Nation. Lumby and the Splatsin will split any revenue 50/50.

Tree fruits co-op reaches deal Morning Star Staff

BC Tree Fruits Cooperative and Union UFCW Local 247 have confirmed the framework of a seven-year term contract agreement. BCTF is excited to announce the conclusion of an agreement that provides long-service employees the opportunity to continue their contracts with the cooperative. BCTF entered union negotiations one year prior to the current contract expiry to most effectively address union concerns, and reached an agreement that supported both union employees and the growth goals of the cooperative as a whole. “The new contract provides increased job security and employment opportunities for over 400 hourly employees across the Okanagan as well increased flexibility and productivity for management,” said BCTF CEO Alan Tyabji. The framework of the seven-year agreement was agreed upon on Oct. 3.

Home starts trend upwards Morning Star Staff

Housing starts in the Vernon area for September were higher than the same month in 2012. Statistics from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) show there were 12 single-detached and one multiple starts in September for a total of 13. In September 2012, there were only seven starts, all singledetached homes. Year-to-date figures

“The increase in single-detached home construction brought the stand-alone monthly SAAR more in line with the housing starts trend.” — Paul Fabri

for Vernon are also up over 2012. There have been 97 single-detached starts this year along with 45 multiple starts for a total of 142. That’s up from 2012 when there were 118 starts through the same time period,

including 89 singledetached homes. The Kelowna Census Metropolitan Area was trending at 824 units in September compared to 771 units in August. The trend is a sixmonth moving average of the monthly season-

ally adjusted annual rates (SAAR)of housing starts. “The detached home sector led Kelowna area housing starts, trending higher in September. The increase in singledetached home construction brought the stand-alone monthly SAAR more in line with the housing starts trend,” explained Paul Fabri, CMHC’s senior market analyst for Kelowna. The trend measure for multiple-family starts was stable, also edging slightly higher in September. CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situations, analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next. The stand-alone monthly SAAR was 864 units in September 2013, compared to 640 units in August 2013.

Morning Star Staff

Skirts, skates and capes were flying as the Okanagan Derby Dolls raced the track to help feed those in need. The Derby Dolls and Okanagan Shuswap Roller Derby Association players raised $712.50 for the Kelowna Community Food Bank during the Spanksgiving Sk8athon to kick off their 2013/2014 season. The non-profit league took pledges to skate for an hour solid in their superhero costumes, doing the Time Warp, YMCA, and many more favorites (this group knows how to have fun). “We are super happy to have raised such a large amount in just one hour last weekend doing something we love,” said Winona Phillips (aka Major Psyc Ho), OSRDA media and sponsorship relations. Catch the Dolls and the OSRDA’s Armstrong team the Candy Strykers play in the Spanksgiving Bout Saturday at Hassen Arena in Armstrong at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 and available at spanksgiving.brownpapertickets.com and at the door. The double-header game features the Strykers against the Revelstoke Derailers and the Derby Dolls take on the Mashed Potatoes.

News Thanksgiving weekend sounds cautionary alert

Morning Star Staff

Wi t h the Thanksgiving long weekend being one of the most dangerous on B.C. roads, extreme caution is being urged. Road conditions

during the fall can be unpredictable across the province and even challenging in some areas, so ICBC is asking drivers to prepare their vehicles and plan their route before heading

out this long weekend to help keep B.C. roads safe for everyone. Over the Thanksgiving long weekend, on average, four people are killed and 540 injured

in 1,770 crashes every year across the province. “Safety is our top priority, and we want families to stay safe on the roads this Thanksgiving holiday weekend,” said

Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. “If you’re heading out of town to visit family or friends for Thanksgiving, please remember to check drivebc.ca to see the road conditions you may encounter along your route so you can feel confident you and your family are well prepared to have a safe weekend.” “One of the best ways to ensure you and your family get to your destination safely and on time is to plan ahead and leave extra time for the unexpected,” said Suzanne Anton, Attorney General and Minister of Justice. “If you do come across an emergency situation on the road this Thanksgiving weekend, please remember to slow down and move over. We want everyone to get home to their loved ones safe and sound.” Drivers already need to use winter tires or carry chains on many highways in B.C. as they’re required every year from Oct. 1 to April 30. Visit the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure’s website for information on highway driving requirements and to learn how to properly use chains before you head out. “Drivers need to remember that parts of our province are already experiencing winter conditions,” said Chief Constable Jamie Graham, Chair of the Traffic Safety Committee of the British Columbia Association of Chiefs of Police. “When your vehicle is not properly equipped for the conditions, you are putting yourself and others at risk. You could be charged with an offence and forced to turn back if you don’t have winter tires or chains on highways where they are required.” “Don’t underestimate the weather in B.C., temperatures are dropping and road conditions can change quickly in the fall and winter months,” said John Dickinson, ICBC’s director of road safety.

New trail opens opportunity Morning Star Staff

Enderby’s MV Beattie Elementary School is the home to a new trail which winds its way through a retention pond converted to mimic a natural wetland. This project, the result of a partnership between the City of Enderby, School District 83 and the Shuswap Trail Alliance, provides educational and recreational opportunities for the students of MV Beattie while at the same time enhancing connectivity, walkability, and gathering spaces for the broader community. “MV Beattie Elementary School is already an amazing community asset that we all enjoy,” said Enderby Mayor Howie Cyr. “I’m absolutely thrilled that the city partnered with School District 83 and the Shuswap Trail Alliance to enhance MV Beattie as a space which fosters learning, recreation, and a sense of community.” The city and school district engaged a landscape architect to develop a concept for the trail and retention pond which integrated connectivity, nature, and beauty. The Shuswap Trail

Alliance constructed the multi-use trail and planted vegetation and trees throughout the retention pond. Principal Denise Brown identified numerous opportunities that the trail and wetland provide for the

children of MV Beattie. “We are absolutely delighted to have this trail and wetland at our school,” she said. “ The Shuswap Trail Alliance engaged the Grade 7 class to help out with the plantings and it was a wonderful learning

experience for the kids. “We also plan on using the trail for morning runs with the kids. The sky is really the limit with the recreational and learning opportunities that we have with this wonderful new asset.”

It’s about who they are at this point in their life, their likes, their dreams and who they are destined to become.

Parents urged to keep vaccinations up to date Morning Star Staff

Parents can ensure their children are protected from harmful diseases by taking advantage of regular school-based immunization clinics getting underway this fall. The BC Centre for Disease Control and Immunize BC are urging parents to review their child’s immunization record and keep vaccination schedules up to date. Many students are now receiving vaccination information and school-based schedules from their school’s public health nurses. “Vaccines prolong and save lives. Even diseases that we don’t see much anymore still have the potential to cause harm by infecting those who are not fully protected,” said Dr. Monika Naus, medical director, Immunization and VaccinePreventable Diseases Service, BCCDC. “That’s why being fully up-to-date with all of your shots is not only the best way to safeguard yourself, but also helps to protect the entire community.” Recent reports in British Columbia of measles and pertussis (whooping cough) outbreaks point to the need to focus attention on the importance of vaccinations for all age groups. Most kids in kindergarten or those starting high school need a booster shot for illnesses such as tetanus, chicken pox and meningitis group C. The current B.C. immunization schedule is comprised of vaccines that protect against 13 infectious diseases, including diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, polio, Haemophilus influenzae b, hepatitis B, meningococcal group C disease, measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox. These vaccines are offered to a variety of age groups in schools

“Being fully up-to-date with all of your shots is not only the best way to safeguard yourself, but also helps to protect the entire community.” — Monika Naus

but can also be requested at public health units, child health clinics, and physicians’ offices. Children aged five and older may also be immunized by certified pharmacists. “I encourage all parents to ensure that their children are up-to-date with their vaccines, and to take advantage of the school-based immunizations available,” said Terry Lake, BC Minister of Health. For more information on immunization programs in British Columbia, go online to: www.immunizebc.ca Facts: n Immunization coverage rates have remained relatively constant in B.C. However, about one-third of B.C. children are not completely up-to-date for all their routine infant and toddler immunizations by the time they turn two years of age. n In B.C., schoolaged children are offered immunizations in Grade 6 and in Grade 9. These immunizations are offered at school during clinics administered by public health nurses. Most regions of the province give school entry booster doses to children outside of school settings where they can be accompanied by their parent or guardian. In Vancouver Coastal, these clinics are also offered in the school setting. n The following vaccines are routinely offered to all students in Grade 6: - Hepatitis B vaccine (children who have had three doses of hepatitis B vaccine when they were infants or before entering Grade 6 do not need the vaccine) - Meningococcal C

vaccine (children who have had a meningococcal C containing vaccine at 10 years of age or older do not need the vaccine)

- Chickenpox vaccine (children who have had two doses of chickenpox vaccine or chickenpox disease or shingles after one year

of age do not need the vaccine) - Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine (offered to female students only, with two doses given in Grade 6 and a third dose in Grade 9) - The following vaccines are routinely offered to all students in Grade 9: - Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (Tdap) vaccine

- Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine (offered to female

students only, with the third dose routinely given in Grade 9)

Viper duo inks NCAA scholarships Mick headed to Quinnipiac; Coughlin signs with UMass GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

It seems like every B.C. Hockey League player that signs with the Quinnipiac Bobcats these days is a Kootenay kid. Recent years have seen former Vernon Viper twin forwards Connor and Kellen Jones of Montrose and Penticton Vees’ grad Travis St. Denis of Trail head to the Hamden, Conn. campus. A pair of Trail products – exViper Craig Martin, now with the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, and Scott Davidson of his hometown Smoke Eaters – are headed to the Bobcats next season. Vernon’s Logan Mick, a second-year forward with the Vipers, bucked that trend when he signed this week with Quinnipiac for the 2015-16 season. “They’ve been with me right from the start of last year. It was a pretty easy decision,” said Mick, 17, of the Bobcats’ scouts. “The campus was amazing and you could just tell the way the coaches treated you that it was the right place to go. “The Jonesies took care of me down there.” The Vipers are coming off a huge 3-2 win over the Salmon Arm SilverBacks, coached by Mick’s father, Troy.

with the UMass Amherst Minutemen for next season. Coughlin, an 18-year-old South Boston product, has 2-2-4 and 11 penalty minutes in 11 games. “It’s good to get it out of the way,” said Coughlin, a 6-foot-3, 200-pounder. “It’s been weighing on my shoulders where to go to college. “They’ve always wanted me and it’s good to be wanted. I talked to the coaches, met the guys. It’s a great facility to play in. I can’t wait to get there.” After starring for Catholic Memorial in prep school hockey last season (51 points in 21 games), Coughlin is being challenged to round out the defensive aspect of his game in Vernon. “He was able to do that (score) at will in that league,” said Vernon associate coach Kris Mallette. “He’s got a lot of talent and grit to his game and now he just has to pick up the defensive side. “He hasn’t been coached to play that way. He’s definitely up for the challenge and he’s asking a lot of the right questions now.” Added Coughlin: “I like taking the body, I like playing physical. When I play physical, more opportunities happen for me.” Meanwhile the Vipers have added netminder Michael Stiliadis for insurance while Austin Smith recovers from a groin injury sustained last Saturday against the Salmon Arm SilverBacks. Stiliadis, a 6-foot, 160-pound of Woodbridge, Ont., posted a 2.97 goalsagainst average and .895 save percentage in 31 games with the Victoria Grizzlies last season. The Vipers picked up the 19-yearold from the OJHL Georgetown Raiders for future considerations. “Smitty’s going to be out for a while and with this schedule we have for the next bit we need someone we can rely on,” said head coach Jason Williamson. SNAKE BITES: Rookie forward Dallas Calvin has left the Vipers for personal reasons and has returned to his hometown of Trail. He will rejoin the KIJHL Beaver Valley Nitehawks...Hamilton and forward TJ Dumonceaux will miss tonight’s game serving two-game suspensions. Hamilton will return Saturday in Chilliwack...Vernon will also be without netminder Austin Smith, who left Saturday’s game in Salmon Arm with a groin injury...Forward Brendan Persley, who left last Friday’s game against Prince George after taking a hard open-ice hit, is questionable for tonight.

The Okanagan Sun, which allowed just 128 points all year and pitched three shutouts to close out the regular season, will host the defending champion Langley Rams in the BCFC semifinal. Led by quarterback Jahlani GilbertKnorren (12 touchdowns, 571 yards rushing), the quick-strike Rams’ offence averaged a conference-best 44 points per game during the 2013 season. “They hold the edge in offence… we hold the edge in defence,” said

The Sun sprinted out to a 29-0 lead, only to see the Rams erupt for four unanswered touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Okanagan hung on for 29-28 victory but learned a tough lesson about Langley and big leads in the process. Outscoring their opponents by a combined 142-0 over the final three weeks, Beatty is convinced his club is playing its best football heading into the postseason.

Maroons secure silver Morning Star Staff

Fresh off a gold-medal showing at the UBC Okanagan Heat junior boys volleyball tournament, the Fulton Maroons struck silver at the KSS Best of the West tourney last weekend in Kelowna. The Maroons fell 24-26, 19-25 to the defending B.C. champion MEI Eagles of Abbotsford in the gold-medal game Saturday. “The boys were in tough on their side of the playoff pool,” said head coach Richard Bedard. “We’re pretty excited that we’re there with the coast teams.” Fulton was challenged in the 23-team tournament by the Pacific Academy Breakers of Surrey, Langley Fundamental Titans and MEI, all from the Lower Mainland. In pool play, Fulton stopped the Okanagan Mission Huskies 25-19, 25-15 and Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops 25-15, 25-12 before falling 26-27, 24-26 to the Eagles. In the final 16, the Maroons swept the George Elliot Coyotes 25-12, 25-15 and then bounced Pacific Academy 25-22, 25-19 in the quarters, followed by a 22-25, 25-21, 16-14 decision over Langley Fundamental in the semis. Fulton got strong play from tourney all-stars Ryan Doerges and Danny Aspenlieder, effective

offensive distribution from Bryn Bedard, and great digging and passing from offside Landon Currie. With libero Jordy Barr absent, Noah Alleyne and Kobe Romanovitch stepped up their game in the back row. In senior AA girls league play, the Maroons stuffed George Elliot 3-0 (25-16, 25-16, 25-9) Tuesday night at Fulton gym. Nazarena Wurz recorded 13 kills while Alexa Lewis aced three serves on a seven-point run. The Maroons host the Revelstoke Rams Tuesday (5:30 p.m.) before entering the 30-team KSS Best of the West Tournament in Kelowna starting next Friday. In senior boys league play Tuesday night, the Vernon Panthers outlasted the Seaton Sonics 27-25, 25-17 at the Panther Pit. Both teams started strong, going point for point for much of the first set. Shelby Hartwig, Brayden Damini and Landon Mattes were constant threats up front for Vernon. Jason Reich was solid and Nolan Weins was stellar with his sets and saves. The Cats then fell 25-20, 25-18, 15-9 to Okanagan Mission in exhibition action. VSS juniors Carson Lebreque, Sean Morgan, and Eric Embleton stepped up to help the senior crew.

Starting next year, the Women’s Master-40 division (Ages 40 and older) will no longer be a competition within the Women’s Amateur Championship, but will be contested at the newly named Master-40/Senior Women’s Championship. “We performed a thorough analysis of both the Women’s Amateur and Senior Women’s Championship compositions from years past and decided that this change will help elevate overall participation in the Master-40 division using a yardage that fits the competitive demand without jeopardizing the competitive strength of both fields,” said White. Highlighting the 2014 season will be the 112th B.C. Amateur, hosted by the Seymour Golf and Country Club in North Vancouver, the B.C.

There was quiet questioning when the Lumby Midget Stars settled in for the first faceoff of their exhibition game Sunday against Vernon Seed Orchard at Pat Duke Memorial Arena. The centre position vacant, Lumby remembered and honoured their late captain, No. 2, Bradley Haslam. A banner was draped over the back of the Stars’ bench showing Bradley’s initials and his number was encircled with ‘Forever In Our Hearts, BH2’ on the bench. Haslam, described as a magnetic leader and terrific student, was killed June 15 in an industrial accident while working at Tolko’s Lavington planer mill. He was 18. The Stars honoured Haslam with an 8-2 victory with Kyle Weston (3+1), Jayden Pederson (2+2), Reid Hackett, Jack O’Neill and Jarrett Miller handling the offence in front of Jake Holland. Isaiah Wenger and Lucas Mitchell replied for Vernon. Said Stars’ coach Kevin Porteous: “With all the boys who had played with Bradley getting a quick shift with Kyle (Weston), it transformed into an energy and intensity that, up until now, I have never been a part of in my Lumby Stars’ adventures. It was a phenomenal effort and I’m proud of each and everyone on the team.” The Stars carry sponsorship from Irly Bird Building Centers Lumby and RJ Schunter Contracting. In Bantam preseason action, Miles

Wohlford scored twice and had one assist as the Five Star Awards clipped the Corbett Office Supplies Sharks 5-4 Saturday at Priest Valley Arena. Kaylan Lawrence, Chris Moore and Maguire Dickenson, with the winner, also tallied for Five Star. Callum Leong, Lucas Towers, Jake Pelletier and Nick Mitchell replied for the Sharks. Mitchell supplied 6+2 as the Sharks outlasted Five Star 13-8 Friday night at Civic Arena. Linemates Sean Howard (2+2) and Kevin Sullivan (1+4) also enjoyed productive nights. Seb Wenger, Riley Bos, Alex Laurila and Teigan Derkach tallied for the Sharks. Moore (2+2), Talon Williams (2), Colton Schaper-Kotter and Reid Lawrence scored for Five Star. In late-reported Atom Development play, the H&L Glass Junior Vipers lost their season opener 9-2 to the North Okanagan Knights Sunday at Civic Arena. Jordyn Morris opened Vernon’s account, converting the rebound off a passing play between d-men Nick Noren and Liam Remple. Trailing 5-1 with seconds to go in the period, Vernon pulled closer when Cash Anderson centered to Maddex Minard, who slid the puck crosscrease to Chris Bond, who banged it in the back door. James Walker led the Knights with a hat trick, while Vernon’s Quinn Soon earned the Hard Hat for his determined defensive work.

Car Safety Month promotes winter preparedness Morning Star Staff

Although the snow hasn’t started to fly yet, October is Car Safety Month and the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) reminds you to take a few simple measures to prepare now to get your car

winter ready. “Canadian winters on the roads can be dangerous for drivers when they are not prepared,” said Bill Adams, IBC Vice-President, Western and Pacific. “Taking the time to prepare for winter

driving conditions and making safe decisions about your vehicle before temperatures drop could save your life.” Here are 10 tips to help you avoid the dangers of winter driving: n Be alert, well-rest-

ed and sober behind the wheel. Avoid driver distractions. n Tune-up your car by getting a complete checkup in the fall. Your tune-up should include battery, belts, hoses, radiator, coolant/ antifreeze, oil, lights,

brakes, exhaust system, heater/defroster, wipers, ignition system and tires. n Check the tires and tire pressure at least once a month when the tires are cold. (See tire pressure information sheet.)

n Ensure that your windshield is free of dings and cracks. Cold temperatures can turn a small ding in your windshield into a major crack. n Keep the gas tank at least half full, decreasing the chances of moisture forming in the gas lines and possibly freezing. n Ensure that lights work. The end of Daylight Savings Time in the fall results in earlier night fall and more night time driving. n Keep a Winter Survival Kit in the trunk of your vehicle. n Heed the warnings from local weather

offices of Environment Canada of impending blizzards, heavy snow, freezing rain or drizzle, deep freeze and winds, and black ice. n Check road conditions before travel. On the road, if you must drive in bad weather, clean snow off your vehicle, exercise caution, plan ahead and make sure you have enough fuel. Drop your speed to match road conditions (See winter driving tips) n Always keep a road map, flashlight, first-aid kit and blanket in your vehicle. (Resources: IBC and carcarecanada.ca)

Kids packed for class Morning Star Staff

Thanks to an annual fundraising campaign, more than 500 North Okanagan families were able to get their kids back to school. The Back to School Project 2013 provided 551 packs of school supplies to deserving students who would benefit from such support. “The recipients are students within families who struggle with meeting the financial stress of back to school costs,” said Lorel Brown of North Okanagan Youth and Family Services Society (NOYFSS), who coordinated the filling and distribution of backpacks, and raised funds to purchase backpacks that were not otherwise donated. Backpack recipients are in the North Okanagan area including Vernon, Lumby, Cherryville, Armstrong, and Enderby. The project would not be able to proceed without the help of dedicated partners. Staples staff made an incredible fundraising effort by way of a store raffle, silent auction, garage sales, bake sales, and in-store donations to raise the funds necessary to provide all of the school supplies. “A huge effort from Jamie Wattie

and the entire staff team to make this project possible,” said Brown. “The Staples team surpassed their goal of $20,000 and raised $24,025.” Staples also had incredible support from 18 local businesses including significant contributions from Heartwood Homes and Wattie Construction. The community really stepped up and helped the Vernon Staples store achieve the No. 1 ranking amongst all of the Staples stores across Canada for fundraised dollars towards this initiative. Big Sun Tanning owners Lisa and Glenn Gallie coordinated the provision of more than 300 backpacks and recruited support by way of in kind donations from the following: Garrett Halayko – Hurley Jennifer Rainie – Quicksilver/Roxy Sean McMillan – Billabong Michael Costigan – Dakine “A huge thank you for this group stepping up to ensure that the recipients received such quality backpacks,” said Brown. The Family Resource Centre, White Valley Community Resource Centre and Armstrong Boys and Girls Club each fundraised to purchase backpacks and assisted with distribution.

“The vast majority of juice sold in B.C. is safe, but only pasteurization can ensure that apple juice and cider are free of harmful pathogens.” To avoid infection by food-borne bacteria, retailers and consumers should check with the producer or vendor before purchasing apple juice or cider and determine if it has been pasteurized. If the label does not provide this information, consumers can ask their retailer or producer, or phone the manufacturer listed on the label. “When in doubt, consumers should take precautions and consider the risks before consumption,” states the BCDC. Here are some other tips for consumers. Boil unpasteurized apple juice and cider for one minute before consuming. Avoid ser ving unpasteurized apple juice and cider products to those most at risk (young children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems). Freezing and refrigeration do not make unpasteurized apple juice or cider safe. Ensure freshness and quality by refrigerating apple juice and cider products and respecting their bestbefore dates. If you believe that you have become ill as a result of drinking unpasteurized apple juice or cider, see a doctor immediately and notify your local health authority. Symptoms of infection from e. coli or salmonella can include stomach cramps, vomiting, fever and bloody diarrhea. Symptoms can occur within two to 10 days of consuming contaminated food. Up to eight per cent of people infected with e. coli O157:H7 can have severe kidney damage which may lead to death, with the greatest risk in children under five years of age.

B.C. works STATEMENT OF PATRICK NICOL to close Asia R E G A R D I N G B C C O U R T O F A P P E A L D E C I S I O N gas deals tom fletcher Black Press

As the latest anti-pipeline protest rally gathered on the lawn of the B.C. legislature Monday, the minister in charge of natural gas exports prepared for a sales trip to Asia. Minister for Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman leaves Friday for South Korea, China and Malaysia to meet with multinational energy companies that are still a year away from final decisions on billions of investment in gas pipelines and liquefied natural gas plants on the North Coast. Speaking to reporters from Vancouver Monday, Coleman said Sunday’s announcement by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Rezak of a $36 billion investment by government-owned Petronas in B.C. LNG is an important step. Meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Kuala Lumpur, Rezak called the investment a “significant landmark decision,” after Petronas spent $5 billion last year to buy Albertabased gas producer Progress Energy Inc. “Their prime minister made this announcement with our prime minister, and Petronas is owned by the government of Malaysia, so that means the boss is pretty keen on British Columbia,” Coleman said. Coleman defended the record of B.C.’s 50-yearold gas drilling industry, which was targeted along with oil proposals by about 200 chanting protesters. The group calls itself PowerShift, an extension of earlier Idle No More and Occupy protests targeting corporations, oil and gas development and greenhouse gas emissions. “We have never had a well stem fail in British Columbia at any time since we’ve been doing natural gas drilling in B.C., ever,” Coleman said. “We have never affected the water table.” Inside the legislature, NDP leader Adrian Dix drew attention to the empty debate chamber, on the day a fall session would have begun. Dix said the B.C. Liberal government has abandoned its aggressive greenhouse gas reduction targets in the rush to develop and export vast shale gas reserves, and has avoided debate on the issue by keeping the legislature shut down until February. The NDP has also targeted the government’s budget cuts for skill training, at a time when the government says thousands of jobs will be created by expanding the gas industry. Coleman said the government is getting close to announcing its plan for skills training to handle LNG development. His meetings in Asia will include discussions with international producers about training B.C. workers at facilities overseas.

The judgment today produced by the BC Court of Appeal, concerning my case at trial under section 238(1) of the Income Tax Act raises broader issues of the civic responsibility of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and its agents. Canadians, acting as responsible citizens, are expected voluntarily to report their annual income and make payment of appropriate taxes due to the federal government. In turn, Canadians expect the CRA to apply its tax administration and enforcement policies and actions in an accurate, fair, balanced and transparent manner consistent with the accepted principles and processes of the Canadian justice system. The Income Tax Act contains provisions defining administrative and regulatory offences that bear potential financial and criminal penalties for non-compliance with the Act. In my particular case, the Crown, at the request of the CRA, alleged that I had failed to file or make a return as and when required and sought a summary conviction under section 238 of the Act. Section 11(d) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, enshrined in our Constitution, states: “Any person charged with an offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty according to law in a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal”. The charge under 238(1) of the Income Tax Act is considered a strict liability offence that allows assertions of due diligence as a defence. In my case, my legal counsel argued in provincial court (1) that the offence itself was not demonstrated because the filing deadline had been a movable one changed at the discretion of the CRA and (2) that I had demonstrated due diligence by engaging the services of a tax accountancy placed in communication with the CRA and by making a good faith interim instalment payment while tax documents were collected for preparation of an accurate return. The grounds for my appeal were (1) a misapprehension of evidence heard at trial in provincial court and (2) reasons for judgment given at trial that did not allow meaningful appellate review. The broader civic issue at hand is the best method of holding the CRA and its agents accountable for actions often undertaken in secret and in an arbitrary manner, such actions being capable of ruining the personal and financial lives and reputations of Canadians, ultimately those persons to whom the CRA and its agents are responsible. The personal consequences of the actions of the CRA in this case are many and severe. Subsequent to tax assessments having been paid for the annual returns in question, CRA credited the payments to the wrong account and, for six months thereafter, pursued collection of the amounts already paid. CRA imposed additional onerous tax penalties at the highest level on the erroneous assumption that I was a repeat late filer. CRA was not forthcoming nor prompt in providing the requisite information for my tax representatives to prepare responsive filings and adjusted returns. The decision today by the BC Court of Appeal confirms the judgment of the lower court judge in my original case.

While tremendously disheartening, given I followed and willingly co-operated with CRA Penticton throughout and paid all taxes prior to the case starting, I must accept this ruling. Please note I have paid my full taxes and interest for 45 years. And I followed a committed process to complete my late filings. My reason for contesting the two fines of $1000 each, was founded in a promise to my mother to see this through. She was right. It was also to contest CRA vigorously over their handling of the summons which was a blind-sided summons sent July 12 2010 that I received as a shock 77 days later on October 6 and CRA’s implied threat that if I did NOT PLEAD GUILTY matters would get worse. It was also further amplified by bullying tactics 6 months AFTER everything had been paid - their assessment was in error by $285,495.34 when CRA Penticton twice tried to collect monies by demand within two weeks that had already been paid 6 months earlier. The case turned on a single piece of information - the Crown said there was a deadline. In fact the deadline always moved as corroborated in court by the CRA person involved, Wade Parker, and by my accountant, Veronica Xue . The case triggered a loss of an outstanding 42 year broadcast career, a loss of over one million dollars in wages and benefits and legal costs and untold heartache. I wish to thank deeply my family, dearest friends and community members who lifted me during this long three year case. I am proud in the dignified way I have defended myself based on the principles of what is correct and fair. I have not lashed out with a harsh word at any point publicly during this personal matter. I will continue to serve the community in good ways as I always have and I look forward to a continued bright future. Abe Lincoln wrote “Mercy bears fruit, so much more than strict justice.”

Ensuring a happy holiday Black Press

The food safety specialists at the BC Centre for Disease Control have some tips for safely preparing that festive turkey and other Thanksgiving food. Proper food handling is especially important because turkey can, in the right conditions, become contaminated with bacteria like Salmonella. This can cause stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever, nausea, vomiting, and dehydration. It can also lead to more serious complications, especially in infants, the elderly, and other immune compromised people.

and working surfaces with hot soapy water before you begin preparing food. Cook foods including the holiday turkey to an internal temperature of at least 74C (165F). Check the temperature with a probe tip thermometer in several different areas of the cooked turkey. . Serve foods safely. Keep cooked hot foods hot [60°C (140°F) or above] and cold foods cold [4°C (40°F) or below]. Follow labels on food packaging. These labels provide information about when to use the food and how to store it. Refrigerate leftover foods from your holiday meal within two hours of serving it. Don’t leave leftovers to cool on the counter overnight. When in doubt, throw it out. If you aren’t sure if a food is safe, don’t eat it. Reheating food that is contaminated won’t make it safe.

The B.C. Treaty Commission issued its 21st annual report Tuesday, with a plea for federal and provincial governments not to abandon provincewide progress in a rush for resource development in the north. While noting progress on several new treaties, chief commissioner Sophie Pierre said she is frustrated that the federal government has dragged its feet with studies, while the B.C. government has shifted focus to interim resource agreements as it pushes mining and gas development in the north. Pierre warned that the rest of the province is being ignored, while First Nations have piled up debt for treaty talks that show little progress. “There’s no need for more studies,” Pierre said. “Let’s just get it done.” Asked if the independent treaty commission has outlived its usefulness, commissioner Dave Haggard was more blunt. Abandoning treaties means going back to court, and the Supreme Court of Canada has made it clear that Canada and B.C. must — Haggard negotiate settlements for aboriginal rights and title, he said. He said he is dismayed by the rush for oil and gas development across the north. “Go through Terrace and Prince Rupert and Smithers and see what the oil companies are doing up there today,” Haggard said. “It’s almost laughable when you see what they’re trying to do, the first one through the door so they can buy off another Indian. “That’s not how it’s going to happen with First Nations in that part of the world. They’re going to sit down at the table and have a fair and just set of negotiations for occupying and use of the land and the resources that are there.” Pierre said she supports resource sharing agreements for mines and forests, but they still leave communities under the control of the Indian Act. She singled out the long federal delay in deciding how salmon resources should be shared. “How can you go seven years without a mandate on fish?” Pierre said. “For coastal First Nations, fish is like air.” The Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon had its treaty approved by the House of Commons this spring, joining the Tsawwassen First Nation in the Lower Mainland and the Maa-Nulth First Nations on Vancouver Island with full self-government. The Tla’amin First Nation near Powell River has had its treaty ratified provincially. Community votes on final agreements are near for In-SHUCK-ch communities at Harrison Lake, K’omoks on Vancouver Island, and the Tsimshian communities of Kitselas and Kitsumkalum on the North Coast. Agreements in principle are nearing completion for Ditidaht and Pacheedaht First Nations near Port Renfrew, the Homalco on Bute Inlet, and the Katzie in the Lower Mainland. Also making progress on final agreements for land and cash are the Namgis Nation on northern Vancouver Island, Nazko First Nation near Quesnel, Northern Shuswap Tribal Council around Williams Lake, Te’Mexw Treaty Association on southern Vancouver Island and the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations near Tofino. The full report and a webcast of Pierre’s presentation are available at www.bctreaty.net.

“That’s not how it’s going to happen with First Nations in that part of the world.”

Order of Canada-winning sculptor Joe Fafard and his Juno-nominated son Jöel Fafard bring art and music to Vernon Oct. 24

For those who have strolled down Georgia Street en route to Vancouver’s Pacific Centre and been startled at the sight of a bull outside an office tower, just wait until the sculptor adds music to that feeling. Joe Fafard, a Canadian sculptor whose magnificent bronze cows and roosters and farmers grace the doorways and halls and public walkways of cities nationwide, is about to tour with fellow artists Joel Schwartz and his son, musician Joël Fafard. The father-son duo and Schwartz will be in Vernon Oct. 24 for their A Tune To Art tour that is crossing the country. “This is our version of a father-son game of catch,” said Joël, who lives on the Sunshine Coast and works with Schwartz, a multiinstrumentalist originally from Vernon who plays with the likes of Royal Wood, Patricia O’Callaghan and The Great Lake Swimmers. Drawn to old-school folk music, the younger Fafard says the obvious differences between his and his father’s art don’t prevent him from seeing commonalities, in no small measure because both are so inextricably connected to Saskatchewan. “The Prairies define both of us,” he said. “My father was always playing Hank Williams westerns and I grew up dreaming of western movies and what I thought

/mo.

sculptures—often farm-focused animals or salt-of-the-earth prairie folk with an Eastern European immigrant feel—the caribou, raccoon, raven and bear he’s moulded for this tour offer a departure to another outdoorsy Canadiana style. Joe works in bronze primarily because it’s unbreakable, weathers well and will stand the test of time, much like his subjects. It’s a time consuming process in which he creates a sculpture, a mould, wax replica, refectory mould, and then fires and cures an image. Working from photographs and a vivid imagination, he says it’s a process which sucks him into his work.

“I really don’t try to listen to (music) very much when I’m working,” he said. “I find working is enough stimulation for me.” He does, nevertheless, believe his art likely set the stage for his son’s musical career and enjoys knowing Joël wisely chose a creative pursuit which defies familial comparisons. “From a very young age he wanted to play music,” he said. “And I think the fact that he got started in a household where art was the main activity helped.” The pair initially teamed up for two pop up shows, one in the Regina and the other in Victoria. Joël stage-managed both in a similar manner to how he manages his father’s online gallery sales. The younger Fafard had a stack of CDs at both shows and during lulls took the opportunity to strum a few chords surrounded, for the first time, by his father’s work. Inspiration struck. “It’s something that people have been suggesting for us to do for years, but neither of us could figure out how that would work,” Joël explained. It will take just four men, the three artists and a stage manager, to move the show across the country. The heaviest piece of sculpture is 50 pounds; the heaviest lifting may prove to be the logistics. Both father and son say they believe the tour will be a journey of memories. The Order of Canada-winning sculptor will be showing 12 of his bronze sculptures for one night only at Headbones Gallery, 6700 Old Kamloops Rd., Oct. 24. The evening includes the performance by Juno nominated Joël Fafard and Schwartz. Tickets are available at Headbones (250-542-8987) or at the Bean Scene.

Get ‘Aokified’ when top electronic dance music/hip hop artists visit Vernon

The beats are about to pound in Vernon’s Kal Tire Place with the announcement of a concert by one of the hottest DJs on the planet, Steve Aoki. The Nov. 21 concert is one of 30 across North America on the current Aokify America Tour, and features some of the freshest talent in the electronic and hip-hop music scene. Support acts include Israeli DJ/ producer Borgore and hip hop artist Waka Flocka Flame, along with Botnet, a DJ/production duo from Montreal. Together, they will showcase a diverse lineup rarely seen in the dance music circuit today. The founder of Dim Mak

Records, Aoki has not only seen his mixes featured on BBC Radio, he has also collaborated with such artists as LMFAO, Kid Cudi, Travis Barker, will.i.am (Zuper Blahq), W y n t e r G o r d o n , Rivers Cuomo, Lil Jon and Big Steve Aoki John (former guitarist of the punk band The Exploited). The Miami, Fla. native tours relentlessly, performing an average of 250 shows a year. All the way from Tel Aviv, Israel, Asaf Borger, aka Borgore, has

unquestionably become a household name for those who follow the ever-growing dubstep scene. Borgore has reached across continents with his music, creating masses of online fans in Europe. Now boasting more than six million views on YouTube, a vast fan base on social networks, and being featured on soundtracks for TV shows such as Skins, the dubstep artist now runs his own record label (Buygore) and tours the world, selling out shows across Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand. Waka Flocka Flame didn’t want to be a rapper when he grew up. The Atlanta, Ga. native didn’t want to write hit songs, perform in front of thousands of people at packed

clubs or hear his songs played on radio stations across the country. But more than a year after bursting onto the scene with his debut single, O Let’s Do It, the rapper has managed to make more of an impact on the music industry than most hip hop artists have their entire lives. Thanks to a string of chart-topping singles, including the remix to O Let’s Do It, featuring Rick Ross and Diddy, and his latest hit, Hard In Da Paint, it looks like the Flame will keep burning. Straight from La Belle Province, Botnek’s unique style and productions take influence from electro house, rave and techno. The duo has already received support from David Guetta, Afrojack, Steve

Botnek won a remix competition for Dim Mak Records for Felix Cartal’s single Skeleton and has toured throughout Canada, the U.K. and Europe, playing alongside such artists as Jack Beats, Zinc, Buraka Som Sistema, SebastiAn and Style of Eye. Their second EP, Sriracha & Beer, was released last November on Aoki’s Dim Mak Records.

f the title of Justin Timberlake’s new album sounds like a repeat, it’s because it’s the second half of its twin, another 20/20 released earlier in 2013. Like that recording, this latest from the R&B star is an ambitious, sprawling effort that relies heavily on pro-

ducer Timbaland’s electronic wizardry behind the mixing board. Unlike that earlier segment, the sprawl of this recording results in overlong songs that are filtered with meandering sound effects. But there are some shining high points, reigned in by Timberlake’s sweet

Despite Timberlake’s efforts, the lyrics are weak and uninspired. Heart and Destiny’s Child are ripped off and the profanity sounds weak. Say it like you mean it, man! From that, the album’s character takes its cure. Timberlake’s songs rely too often upon the shifting scape of samples, voices, effects and beats. True Blood is a vocal hook over an amor-

phous track populated by a lot of random information. At times it’s hypnotic, mostly it’s too long. It’s a question of whether the busy backing tracks overwhelm the song or the tune itself. Cabaret has clever wordplay between Timberlake and rapper Drake, but TKO suffers from overkill and an overlong display of bells, whistles and BS that merges into Mariah Carey-land. Timberlake invokes Michael Jackson with a vengeance on Take Back the Night, an upbeat bop track that recalls the bright ambiance of Thriller. JT has fun and the tight arrangement allows him to really work the track and belt it out. Murder is an entertaining display of vocal acrobatics from JT and

a humorous rap from Jay Z, riffing on the The Beatles. Drink You Away is electronic country/ R&B with a snaky hook and forgettable lyrics. The slick R&B that Timberlake calls home appears in songs like Amnesia that hint of deep moods but are hamstrung by boy band rhythms. Can some body bring in a drummer once in awhile? The biggest departure on The 20/20 Experience is a dark electronic rock song, Only When I Walk Away. It’s a subdued, menacing track that dwarfs the songs around it. Timberlake’s voice is distorted and passionate, sounding like he’s listened to David Bowie’s Low album. There’s a lot there... as for the rest, it’s uneven. But if you listen beyond the bombast, there’s a soulful singer.

ed her a gift-wrapped plot for her new novel. This fall, the Kelowna resident will sign copies of Sabotage (the final installment in her historical fiction trilogy for young children) and share some

of the fascinating background to a story full of drama and intrigue. “I write about events in Canada’s history that haven’t had much attention: sabotage and internment in Canada during the First World War, the sinking of the Empress of Ireland, and living in a TB sanatorium,” said Autio. The author of Second Watch and Saara’s Passage (the first and second books in the trilogy) will also share delicious Finnish and German snacks featured in her third book. Finnish Cardamom Cookies are a family favourite at Christmas, and Autio says she is cracking open her grandmother’s cookbook a bit early so she can share this popular treat with fans. Autio gives a book signing of Sabotage at Bookland, #100-3400 30th Ave. Vernon, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 19. All three books in the trilogy will be available.

Film gets the checkered flag

Ken Smedley presents THE

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

Rush

iki Lauda (Daniel Brühl) and James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) are Formula 1 race car drivers from the 1970s. Rush is based on the true story of their famous rivalry, on and off the track. We say, “It’s a victory lap for Ron Howard.” HOWE: One word can describe Rush: fantastic. The drama,the story, the acting and the racing clips are spot Taylor and Howe on, but then again would you expect anything different from Mr. Howard? I can remember growing up in the late ‘70s and seeing the many stories of James Hunt in the national papers or on TV about his playboy lifestyle. After watching Hemsworth portray him, I think he did a pretty amazing job. This is by far his best role I have seen him in. TAYLOR: I was completely unaware of much of anything about either of these men, nor Formula 1 racing, but I do think this is an excellent film and fine performances by both leading actors helped a great deal. Formula 1, it seems, is a dangerous endeavour and if the film is to be trusted for its accuracy, which I think it is, 1970s’ race car drivers were a wild bunch not entirely dissimilar from stuntmen, air force pilots or other professional thrill seekers. While this does make for a fun and interesting character study, it is not what makes this film so engrossing. HOWE: In some films we have watched we have complained that they are way too long and could have been cut. In other cases they have been too short. Take the Iron Lady for instance. How do you cram so much information into one hour, 40 minutes? Rush, on the other hand, has just the right amount of information to make it an enjoyable movie. It captivates you from pole position to the checkered flag.

The

ImagIne ent.

Formula 1 racers James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl) square off in Rush. TAYLOR: I agree and this is a product of scriptwriting, editing and directing. The film starts off at the end with just a bit of a tease and then flashes back to bring the audience up to speed, starting with both Lauda and Hunt facing off for the first time on a Formula 3 track. From there we follow a story that is mostly about two very different men, one a cold, calculating German genius, the other a wild, naturally talented, aggressive Brit. But what I found most interesting about Rush is the way it unfolded and particularly the way it looked. The script had the right amount of comedy, drama, history and action, perhaps more importantly, it had it in the right proportions. The look, however, is unlike anything I’ve ever seen in a movie: a strange, desaturated, almost copper tone to it, with a very bright gamma. (What this means is, even in the pouring rain, the dark clouds are glowing white hot, presumably so that the audience can see everything else

well lit in dismal conditions.) It makes for some pretty pictures... HOWE: And for me, probably Ron Howard’s finest work. -Howe gives Rush 4.5 Murray Walker comments out of 5. -Taylor gives it 4 bouncing slicks out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Hoshi gets his wheelchair D

No help here

Katherine MortiMer

Morning Star Staff

If Hoshi could speak, he would be saying thank you to everyone in the community who has helped him gain some freedom and mobility. The black Labrador is just four years old, but he is already severely crippled with osteoarthritis – a painful condition in both shoulders, spine, pelvis and hips that he has had since birth. When his owner, Jungyon Son, heard about a company in the U.S. that makes wheelchairs for dogs, she knew that was what her “fur baby” needed to give him back some quality of life. When she decided to hold a garage sale fundraiser, Son wasn’t sure what to expect, and hoped a few people would turn up and she’d be able to raise some money towards Hoshi’s chair. Instead, thanks to the generous donations of items for the sale, and people showing up to shop, Son was able to raise about $2,500. “Before the sale, I would stay up at night wondering how I was going to get this to happen, and over the weekend it’s like I died and went to heaven,” she said. “It’s just a miracle of people coming out for my Hoshi; it was just so mindboggling, and I don’t even know how to thank everybody.” Son quickly sent the $1,600 needed for the chair to Eddie’s Wheels, which custom-made the device according to Hoshi’s measurements. She is still trying to get Hoshi used to his new chair, which has required some adjustment. “The wheelchair is a fantastic piece of technology; these people know their trade like nobody else. But when I got it, he had an accident. I should have waited for someone else to help, but the videos they sent me made it look so easy. “I need to give him some time before we attempt again because he is so scared and stressed and even if he sees me carrying it he tries to hide.” The problem is that at 150 pounds, Hoshi is much bigger than other dogs. At the moment, he can walk backwards in the chair, but is fearful of going forward. “The wheel chair gives him a lot of good, stable support, like it is supposed

ear Annie: When my neighbors take their annual two-week vacation, I water their extensive flowers every day and take in their mail. I’ve been doing this for 10 years, and all I ever received was a thank-you and a few daylily transplants. Recently, I had a severe bout with diverticulitis and was in a lot of pain. I could hardly pick up my own mail, much less theirs. This didn’t make the wife happy. I also need surgery and asked whether she would take my terrier, and she refused. She’s taken care of other people’s dogs, so I don’t understand this. I know she will want me to water all of her plants next year, but I don’t think I will, considering she won’t help me in my time of need. Kathy Mitchell & MarcySugar I feel used. My dog is 16 years old and healthy, but I worry he won’t survive in a kennel for five days. My handyman is willing to take care of my dog, but he wants $90 per day to come and let him out three times a day. What would you do? — Hurt and Worried Dear Hurt: We assume your dog is as easy to care for as you claim. If so, your handyman is overcharging you. Most dog-sitters charge between $15 and $30 per day. If someone has to come multiple times, they may charge $15 per visit, but it still doesn’t add up to $90 a day. Make sure he didn’t mean $90 for all five days, which would be more than reasonable. You can find reliable pet-sitters online or get a referral from your veterinarian’s office. And if you are not able or willing to take care of your neighbors’ mail and flowers, so be it. It is a kindness, not an obligation. Dear Annie: This is for “Leave Us Alone,” who is getting pressure from their families about having children. My wife and I were married at 26 and had our children when we were in our 30s. We spent the first six years of our marriage establishing our careers, beginning our savings, buying our home and taking some great vacations that involved lots of camping and low-cost motels. Reflecting back, I think those years provided a solid foundation for our now 38-year marriage by giving us the experience of working together as a team, providing mutual support to each other as we tackled the challenges of building our careers and sharing our lives. — Still Going Strong E-mail questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 73-3rd St., Hermosa Beach, Calif., 90254.

From the comfort of his bed, Hoshi warily eyes his new wheelchair that will help him go for walks easily and with less pain. to, but we just need to get him used to it. The owner, Leslie, said the saddle may not be an incorrect measurement, he may just need to get used to it. The bigger the dog, the harder it is for them to get used to it.

“They don’t know what a great miracle they made happen for me and Hoshi.” — Jungyon Son “When I got it, I thought he would just take off like the wind, but I will keep trying to put him in it in small increments.” Meanwhile, thanks to the funds left over from the garage sale, Son has been able to purchase Chinese herbs and supplements, which give Hoshi some relief from his constant pain. “This past spring, I thought I was going to have to euthanize Hoshi and prior to taking these supplements he couldn’t even walk half a minute and now we are doing 45 minutes.

“He’s still in pain, but you can see the difference in his eyes, he’s so happy to be able to join our other dogs, Jasmine and Honey.” Son his grateful to a local couple who has agreed to continue helping with Hoshi’s supplements, and is overwhelmed by the support of the community. “The owners of Healthy Spot put the event on their Facebook page and Kayla MacGillivray called and said she was going to do everything she could to get the word out. I would like to thank everyone who supported me, in particular Carmen Kowalchuk and the many other loving and kind people who cared so much for my Hoshi. “I pray that everyone who contributed in any way to making our dream come true have all their wishes and desires fulfilled and that they be blessed a million times what they gave Hoshi, even if they could not contribute money or time, if they sent out a prayer that Hoshi gets his wheelchair. “They don’t know what a great miracle they made happen for me and Hoshi.”

Kathy Pinder, president of the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Auxiliary, Jonathan Murray from A&W and Marie Dedish, raffle convenor, pull one of the winning tickets.

Community supports Auxiliary Morning Star Staff

Every year, members of the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Auxiliary give countless hours to ensure patient care and comfort. But they can’t do it without reaching out to the community through a variety of annual fundraisers. The auxiliary’s recent raffle was a big success. The raffle brought in $10,000 and will be used to purchase items on the hospital wish list. “The auxiliary wishes to thank the merchants who donated these prizes and everyone who purchased tickets,” said Nell McInnes, with the auxiliary. “We especially want to thank Marie Dedish for convening

this event. She did an awesome job of organizing the sites to sell tickets and the ticket sellers, as well as spending many hours moving the prizes around and selling tickets herself.” Gwen Langley was the winner of the Xbox donated by Telus; Susan Hickman won the coin collection donated in memory of the Dedish family; Sarah Scott

won the child’s replica antique signature ride-on truck donated by A&W; Pam Jordon won the boy’s bicycle purchased with donated HBC points; Sau Kiun-Chung won the girls’ bicycle donated by Vernon and Pleasant Valley Funeral Homes. “Thank you to our community for your continued support,” said McInnes.

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.

Salute to Firefighters

Friday, October 11, 2013 - The Morning Star B11

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK OCTOBER 7 - 13, 2012

Kitchen Fires are the focus of

Fire Prevention Week Recent statistics show that across North America, cooking was involved in 156,300 home fires that caused more than 470 deaths, 5,390 injuries and $1 billion in property damage. This is why the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs (CAFC) and the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council are taking aim at preventing kitchen fires during this year’s Fire Prevention Week running from October 6-12.

“An escape plan is also essential,” Gamble says. “When a smoke alarm sounds, everyone needs to calmly know what to do and where to go. Planning two ways out of each room greatly increases your chances of getting out safely.”

“Kitchen activity is the number one cause of home fires, so we need to warn and educate families,” says Stephen Gamble, a fire chief and president of the CAFC. “Working with teachers and fire departments we will give families the recipe they need to prevent kitchen fires and to escape safely if one occurs.”

“If you’ve taken down your smoke alarm or removed the batteries because of a false alarm, it won’t be working when you need it most. So as part of creating an escape plan with your kids, also make sure smoke alarms are installed and fully powered on every storey of your home.

KEY KITCHEN SAFETY POINTERS INCLUDE:

10 TIPS TO STAY FIRE SAFE

Never leave the room when you are cooking and keep pot handles turned in. Keep anything flammable away from the stove, including your clothes. Don’t use the oven or stovetop if you are sleepy, have consumed alcohol or used drugs. If a small grease fire starts, slide a lid over the pan and turn off the burner. 1. Install at least one smoke alarm on every level of your home, test it monthly and change the battery yearly. 2. Never leave cooking unattended. 3. Don’t overload electrical outlets. 4. Never leave candles unattended. 5. Stub cigarettes out completely and dispose of them safely. 6. Never store gasoline indoors. 7. Prevent arson by keeping your property clean of trash and flammables. 8. Keep flammable materials such as curtains and furniture at least one metre away from space heaters. 9. Store matches and lighters in a child-proof drawer or cabinet. 10. Create and practice a fire escape plan with your whole family. Get out, stay out and call 911.

Carol Heller is a home fire safety specialist with Kidde Canada, a leading company in the design and manufacture of smoke and monoxide alarms. She adds two additional tips.

“And remember that smoke alarms wear out, so do replace them every 10 years whether they are battery operated or hardwired into your home’s electrical system.”

Horoscope By Bernice Bede OsOl

A calculated approach to life will help you stay on top of your game in the year ahead. Situations will have a tendency to spin out of control if you aren’t precise and flexible. Refrain from initiating change, but be willing to accept the inevitable and turn any lemons you encounter into lemonade. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Keep your thoughts to yourself and your emotions in check, but don’t let anyone bully you either. Back away from controversy and gravitate toward making a positive difference in your community.

how to play: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once.

ESTATE PLANNING?

Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: You must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box. 120119 6

Have you considered a tax deductible gift to the Foundation?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) New people, places and pleasures are heading your direction. Explore how different people live or what they can offer, and you will discover unusual ways to enhance your lifestyle. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Don’t let emotions cloud your point of view regarding work that has to be completed. You must finish one thing before starting another. A personal problem is due to dishonesty. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Keep heading down a path you are familiar with, and you will reach the destination of choice. You may be enticed by detours, but they will only diminish your success. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Follow your dreams and refuse to let anyone restrict your attempt to achieve happiness. What you need may differ from what others want for you, but in the end it’s your choice. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Get all the facts before you make a move. A relationship may not be as it appears, but false accusations will not get you any closer to the truth. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Gather your thoughts and the information you need. You will make a wise move if you are organized and prepared. Moderation must be enforced, even if someone encourages you to do or spend more. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Do your due diligence, and you won’t be disappointed with the results you get. A serious and loyal

partnership will improve a journey you decide to take. Knowledge rules the day. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You may be up for a disappointment or loss pertaining to your home or assets. Re-evaluate an agreement you have with someone and question the sincerity and integrity of certain parties. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Plan to have some fun today. Indulge in events that interest you. Share your thoughts with unorthodox individuals willing to contribute and help you put your plans into motion. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Take care of your responsibilities early so you can enjoy what life has to offer. Love and romance coupled with travel should highlight your day. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Socialize and take part in community events that will familiarize you with what’s out there. Don’t let a personal incident confuse you. Make a decision based on facts.

Hormones Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE BIDDING REVEALS THE DISTRIBUTION Samuel Johnson said, “The two offices of memory are collection and distribution.” Bridge players should collect and use distribution information. There are even a few deals, like today’s, in which the bidding tells declarer exactly who has what. West did not have a clearcut opening with those two honors doubleton in spades, but everyone bids these days. East’s response was hardly a thing of beauty, either. And not too long ago, many expert pairs treated South’s sandwich no-trump as unusual, showing a weak 5-5 in the unbid suits. The argument against one notrump as natural was that if North had a weak, balanced

hand, it would be easy for the opening side to double and penalize South. But now, because players open and respond on used tram tickets, experts treat one no-trump as strong, promising a good 15 to 18 points. West led the spade king, which South ducked. Then, when West continued with the spade queen, South knew the deal’s distribution. How? Since East had started with only four spades, West had to have four hearts. (If East had had 4-4 in the majors, she would have responded one heart, not one spade.) And therefore, the West hand had to be 2-4-3-4 and East’s 4-33-3. South took the second trick and played three rounds of diamonds. East shifted to

a heart. South took that and played a club to the jack and king. Now East should have persevered with another heart, but she erred by returning a club, so declarer took nine tricks: two spades, two hearts, four diamonds and one club. Use the bidding to place the unseen cards.

Darcey Nicole McLelland It is with great sadness and heartache that I announce the passing of Darcey Nicole McLelland. She passed away suddenly on Aug. 29, 2013 at the age of 35. Darcey was a ďeauƟful woŵan inside and out. &or those who Ŭnew her she was an inspiraƟon of courage, hope and loǀe. Darcey was diagnosed with ,odgŬins Lyŵphoŵa when she was 22 years old. ,er ďaƩle with cancer lasted close to 13 years. ,er doctors prognosis of her cancer was neǀer ǀery hopeful, ďut it was her pure stuďďornness that Ŭept her going. Darcey refused to listen when they said she was going to die. It gaǀe her saƟsfacƟon that she was aďle to proǀe theŵ wrong on seǀeral occasions. It was her children and her faŵily that encouraged her in her ďaƩle. Darcey wasn͛t as afraid of dying as she was to leaǀe ďehind those that she loǀed so dearly. She was all aďout her faŵily and constantly surrounded herself with those she loǀed. I can͛t reŵeŵďer her eǀer ŵissing a ďirthday, wedding, or faŵily reunion. No ŵaƩer how far it was, she would ďe there to celeďrate the eǀent. Nothing slowed her down. She refused to liǀe life as a cancer ǀicƟŵ, and refused to ďe felt sorry for. dhose who were lucŬy enough to ďe included in her circle of friends and faŵily were neǀer forgoƩen aďout. Darcey was the girl that would send you a ŵessage leƫng you Ŭnow how iŵportant and special you were to her. She loǀed eǀeryone so ŵuch and ŵade sure you Ŭnew it. In all the adǀersity she faced, Darcey always had hope. Kne of her last doctor appointŵents she had, she said ͞... I should proďaďly ũust giǀe up, ďut I͛ŵ not ready...͟. Darcey neǀer did. do the ǀery end she sƟll had hope and plans for her future. Darcey had so ŵany hopes, dreaŵs, and accoŵplishŵents in her life. She was a hairdresser, a ŵaŬeͲup arƟst. She receiǀed a teachers assistant cerƟĮcate froŵ the college for courses she tooŬ. She loǀed taŬing pictures and wanted to ďe a photographer. She sewed, cooŬed and ďaŬed. Darcey had her own ,arley Daǀidson ŵotorcycle, ďut chose to driǀe a ŵiniǀan that accoŵŵodated her ďeauƟful faŵily. She referred to herself as a doŵesƟc goddess, and she was. Darcey loǀed to traǀel, and wanted to taŬe her Ŭids eǀerywhere. dhe list of what she didn’t want to do is probably shorter. Darcey’s legacy is her children, Ziley and AusƟn, 1ϰ years old͖ 'age, ϰ years old͖ and Neǀaeh, 2 years old. Darcey is surǀiǀed by her husband Stephen ateŵan, her parents Daǀe and sal McLelland, sister, Chrissy McLelland (Kasey), and brother :eīery McLelland (tena).

JUNE 16, 1944 TO OCTOBER 3, 2013

Colleen is predeceased by her beloved husband Rod (January 3, 2013), sister Patricia and brothers Ed and Pat. Colleen is still loved and greatly missed by her daughter Kealey, grandchildren Emerald and Kelt, son Rod, sister Shirley, brothers John (Gerry) and Bill (Judy), sister-in-law Mary (Geoff Pringle, predeceased), and nieces and nephews. Colleen was a joyful, positive, kind person. She always saw the good in people and she believed in humanity. She was, and taught others to be: kind, loving, compassionate, grateful, forgiving, selfless, generous, humble, passionate, determined, faithful, dependable, constant, strong, and brave. Colleen worked as a public school teacher, starting two weeks before turning 19 in the town of Lund, in a one-room schoolhouse. She primarily taught grade one and was passionate about teaching kids to read. Colleen met Rod during her first year of teaching in Lund when she was 19 and he was 21. They married a year later in 1952; they had 60 years of joyful marriage together. Colleen employed her love of the intellect through reading, bridge and conversation. Colleen read voraciously and constantly sought more knowledge through books, people and travelling. She enjoyed, since the age of eleven, the game of bridge. After Rodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retirement, they played three or four times a week. Colleen was a staunch socialist and an active, impressive leader in her community. In 1969, she ran for MLA in Vernon with the NDP accomplishing a stunning second in a conservative riding. Colleen and Rod were an integral part of a Unitarian Fellowship in the Okanagan for 30 years. Colleen believed and lived the Unitarian Principles, such as the inherent worth and dignity of every person and the interconnectedness of all life. After retirement and the family grown, Colleen and Rod left the Vernon family home on Okanagan Lake and moved to Victoria to be close to their grandkids. Colleen was always warm, friendly and kind. She gently reminded us: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be good to yourself. Be sweet, and above all, be kind.â&#x20AC;? A service will be held in Victoria December 7. For condolences or to enquire regarding the service, mccallbros.com.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Leslie, who died peacefully in her sleep. Leslie is lovingly remembered by her partner and love of her life, Warren Koenig, children Sean (Bobbi) Ferguson and ScoĆŠ Ferguson, and grandchildren Tyler Hawley, Braden (Ashley) Hawley, and Jaiden Hawley. She is also survived by her one and only Brother Robin (Anne) Caldwell and his family. Leslie was born and raised in Summerland, the only daughter of John and Ruth Caldwell. As per Leslies wishes a small and private celebraĆ&#x;on of Life will be prepared for close family and friends. Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep; I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow; I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain; When you awaken in the morning`s hush, I am the swiĹ&#x152; upliĹ&#x152;ing rush Of Ć&#x2039;uiet birds in circled Ĺ&#x2021;ight; I am the soĹ&#x152; stars that shine at night. Do not stand by my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die. We will miss her greatly!
