Gates open on five days of fun BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
It takes the work of many hands to transform the grounds of the Interior Provincial Exhibition from a barren lot into a midway full of flashing lights and whirling, twirling rides and games. But by the time the folks who set up and take down all the apparatus get to Armstrong, they’re pretty well versed in the routine because the IPE is one of the final stops on the carnival circuit. “I could do it in my sleep,” says Pat Lucas of the Frog Patch game tent, giving direction to her crew while they installed the metal girders. “I can’t count how many times I’ve done it.” The 111th annual IPE — which includes a rodeo and agricultural exhibits — gets underway today and runs until Sunday. In her sixth year on tour, Lucas said Tuesday’s overcast weather was ideal for doing the heavy lifting required to prepare for the fair. “You have hot days, rainy days, even snow,” says the Chilliwack resident of her schedule which starts in early March and wraps up in mid-September. “This is just right.” “The cool weather definitely helps,” agrees Kim Gauthier as she fixed some stuffed animals to the Big Mouth Bass Fish Pond tent. Lucas and Gauthier are just two of the dozens of people scurrying around the grounds in hard hats setting up tents, hauling stuffed animals, installing light fixtures or preparing rides for the masses of people expected to enjoy them during the next five days. Over at the Big Eli ferris wheel, Anthony Dauphinee, 30, and Omarie Wright, 27, have the routine down pat for scrubbing and hosing the towering structure. Dauphinee leads the way with a garbage bucket full of soapy water and a long-handled scrub brush while Wright follows up with the power washer. “Some days you love it, some days you want to quit,” laughs Dauphinee, a Nova Scotian who

While the workers set up shop on the midway, IPE general manager Bryan Burns troubleshoots his way through every hour leading up to opening day. Stopping in briefly at his office, he is pleased to find he hasn’t missed too many calls. “Only three messages – nice,” he proclaims just before settling in to his desk where his cell phone rings. “We plan all year but the reality is so many things happen in the last little while,” he says. “We’ve gotta react.” Burns guesses he makes about 500 decisions every day, and despite the hectic schedule that limits him to about four hours of sleep per night, he clearly enjoys it. “It’s the best part; anyone in the event business, it’s an adrenaline rush to see an event come true.”

Cooler weather brings campfire ban to an end Campfires are being allowed just in time for the Labour Day long weekend. Campfires are now permitted across the Kamloops Fire Centre, including the North Okanagan, due to cooler weather. “We don’t have the hazard and risk and not as many people are camping now which lowers the risk,� said Gerard Duff-Tytler, a forest resource technician with the B.C. Forest Service in Vernon. “Precipitation and cooler weather has helped. It’s almost like fall out there.� Campfires must not be larger than 0.5
metres wide or 0.5 metres tall. Anyone who lights a campfire must have a hand tool such as a shovel, or at least eight litres of water, nearby to fully extinguish it. Never leave a campfire unattended, and make sure ashes are completely cold to the touch before leaving the area. The rescinding of this prohibition applies to all B.C. Parks, Crown and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by a fire department. This has been one of the quietest seasons ever for the North Okanagan in terms of
wildfires. “There’s been a lack of lightning and when the lightning came, it came with precipitation,� said Duff-Tytler. So far this year, there have been 19 blazes in the region compared to more than 100 last year. While the weather is cooler, Duff-Tytler warns that conditions could change and the risk of fire could increase again. “We’ve had some Octobers where there are fires right through the month,� he said. A prohibition continues for fireworks and burning barrels. To report a wildfire or unattended camp-

Small tremor shakes Vernon ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Several East Hill residents weren’t dreaming when they were shaken out of their sleep shortly before 1 a.m. Tuesday. A small earthquake registering 2.1 on the Local Magnitude (ML) scale hit Vernon. “We had a few reports of light shaking, a few people woke up from it,” said Alison Bird, an earthquake seismologist with Natural Resources Canada in Sidney on Vancouver Island. “It was a very small earthquake, and it’s a little bit deep for that area, about 20 kilometres down. For people to feel it when it’s that small, they were
right on top of it. That’s why they felt it. Normally earthquakes that size don’t get felt by people.” Bird said Tuesday’s quake resulted in some rattling and shaking at the homes, but nothing that was going to be dangerous, and no damage was reported. And there is no need to worry about aftershocks, she said. It’s believed stresses in the earth’s crust caused the Vernon tremor. “It’s not an area that we get a lot of activity,” said Bird. “We have had some activity along that whole route, if you follow the lake down from Penticton. That area I think is under some pressure because we have seen some small level activity in the past.”

The tomato originated in South America in pre-Columbian times and eventually became a staple in the Mexican diet. But for much of its history in North America, it was considered an ornamental plant; eating it was thought to be distasteful and unhealthy. Hard to believe considering that today the tomato not only thrills the taste buds in many dishes, but is revered for its disease fighting properties. Tomatoes are chalk full of vitamin C and lycopene, which studies have linked to reduced cancer rates in those who consume it.

Drowning victim identified ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
They had recently moved to the Armstrong area to start a new life together. Now, Jason Paul’s fiancée is making plans to return her partner’s body home to northern B.C. Paul, 30, formerly of Fort St. John, has been identified by RCMP and the coroner’s office as the man whose body was pulled from the Shuswap River Friday morning. Paul had jumped in the river off the Bawtree bridge on Cliff Avenue Thursday at around 5 p.m. He had asked an individual if it was OK to leap into the river off the bridge.
He took his shirt and shoes off as if he was going to go for a swim. Witnesses say Paul surfaced once after jumping in, but never came up again. “His fiancée wants everyone to know that Jason loved the outdoors,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “There are no indications he was suicidal. It appears he simply wanted to go for a swim.” People on the shore tried to find him but they soon called for the police, who notified Vernon Search and Rescue and the RCMP divers. Paul’s body was found not too far from the bridge in about 15-to-20-feet of water.

Dueck sets world record

Morning Star Staff
A Vernon resident has shattered a world record. On the weekend, Paralympic silver medallist Josh Dueck broke the Guinness World Record for for the most high-fives by any individual in 24 hours. He high-fived 9,307 people, far surpassing the previous record of 3,131 set in 2008. “I’m competitive and love a good challenge, but this was more important than breaking a record,” says Dueck, who raised his hand to high-five people at the B.C. Lions game Friday and at the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver Saturday. “I did it to bring attention to young worker safety, and that’s something I’m stoked about.” Dueck’s record was part of WorkSafeBC’s Raise Your Hand campaign — an annual initiative to increase young workers’ understanding of their safety rights and how to stay safe at work. Young workers in B.C. are more likely to sustain an injury than workers aged 25 years and older. Since becoming paralyzed from the waist down in a workplace accident at the age of 23, Dueck has become a world-champion paraalpine skier. He has won national and international competitions, and recently

Going around in circles
G
enerally an army of media relations officers is just waiting to spread the good word from Victoria — of how action is being taken and how tax dollars are being spent. So that’s why it was such a surprise to find out that upgrades are already underway on Highway 97 at Bailey Road. Instead of a press release clogging up the Richard Rolke inbox on my e-mail, word of the work came via a letter the Ministry of Transportation wrote to a resident lobbying for changes, and it was left up to the resident to provide the details to the press. There also wasn’t an opportunity to take photos of the transportation minister and local MLA standing at the intersection with broad smiles on their face and shovels in their hand. It’s hard to understand why the government isn’t slapping itself on the back over this project, but perhaps it’s decided that trying to make voters feel good isn’t as important as actually buckling down and getting business done. Or it could indicate that the ministry is so embarrassed over its bungling of this issue that actually starting the work shows how inadequate the response has been. After all, accidents and fatalities at that intersection are nothing new — the body count and collisions have been climbing over the years. Anyone who drives that stretch knows that accessing the highway from Bailey Road or turning left on to Bailey Road northbound from the highway puts lives at risk. The fact that something is just being done now should make people wonder how often Ministry of

Transportation staff in Kelowna actually ever travel north? Initiating the work obviously could mean that the squeaky wheel has finally got the grease, but when you consider the protests that civic leaders and residents have made, there should be five inches of grease covering the pavement. But the Liberal government isn’t the only one slow on the uptake. NDP MLA Harry Bains visited the intersection Tuesday so he could demand that the government “stop stalling and make the necessary improvements.” Except that while Bains was there, the first phase of upgrades had been underway for awhile and some are actually in place. Taking shots at the Liberals for being tardy over highway conditions may earn some political points and the media laps it up, but why weren’t the NDP lodging protests years before? Why is it just now that B.C.’s official opposition has become aware of the problem? In the end, upgrades are finally happening and that should improve safety for everyone travelling between Lake Country and Vernon, and particularly for those people utilizing Predator Ridge and Sparkling Hill resorts, as well as residents of the Commonage. Of course this work should be considered as just the beginning because rising traffic volume and extremely high speed will continue to place lives at risk. Ultimately, the Ministry of Transportation may have to consider installing an overpass there. But the way politicians and bureaucrats on both sides of the spectrum have tossed things around before, either future upgrades will be ignored for years on end or we’ll only find out about them after construction has actually started.
The gates will open this morning and as in past years, the 111th annual Interior Provincial Exhibition will attract hundreds of thousands of people by Sunday’s close. Obviously many people will go for the rodeo and the midway, or the commercial displays and the vast array of food, but the Armstrong fair continues to have agriculture at its heart. It’s a chance to walk through the barns and check out the livestock, whether it’s cattle, horses, sheep, goats, pigs or chickens. You can look at prize-winning produce and the homemade wine, or be astonished by the giant pumpkins. During these five days, you can reacquaint yourself with where food comes from, and that is particularly important for our youth. Too often in our increasingly urbanized communities, many children are left with the impression that meat, vegetables and milk come from the store. The entire production process is unfamiliar to them. But by going to the fair, they can see the animals and produce first-hand. If they’re lucky, they may see a calf being born, and there’s nothing like hearing the warble of a turkey to get you thinking about Thanksgiving. The IPE is also important because it proves that farming isn’t something we just associate with the past. It is a vital sector that pumps significant dollars into our economy and keeps thousands of North Okanagan residents employed. Local agriculture is something we need to support every time we’re at the store. So as the IPE extravaganza gets underway and the sights and sounds dazzle you, make sure you celebrate the very backbone of the fair and our region — agriculture.

Lumby deserves better
WATER RATES I received our second quarterly bill for water consumption and it showed our household used 12.5 cubic metres from April 1 to the end of June. During he previous three-month period, we used 15.5 cubic metres, for a six-month total of 28 cubic metres We were expected to use 40 cubic metres in that same period, so we conserved 12 cubic metres of water, more than half of a threemonth allotment. We get this water conservation concept. However, we paid for 40 cubic metres, or put another way, we paid 30 per cent more for that water than a customer who used 40 cubic metres. It sure pays to conserve. When I received our first bill, I went to the NORD office and spoke with Al Cotsworth and he told me that "snowbirds" were to blame for the new water rate structure. Apparently they are not using enough water, yet are benefitting
hardware. So this is what passes for a "public information meeting?" But here's the real agenda. Mayor Acton says the Lumby sewer system is aging and needs upgrading, and extending to the industrial park. And it's going to be expensive. So why not build a prison in the industrial park? And B.C. Corrections will pay for the entire cost of the sewer infrastructure upgrade, saving the Lumby taxpayers about $3 million. So that's the deal, folks: vote for a prison and you get a new sewer system and a prison. During the meeting people who spoke were asked to identify the location of their
from the infrastructure improvements being made to the water delivery system. As well, our household is in the very small minority of households that uses less water than the average (20 cubic metres/three months) household. He mentioned that only four or five other households had contacted him after receiving their first bill under the new rate structure. I suggested to him that households that conserve water should have their balance carried forward to the next period, just like cell phone minutes. This logical suggestion seemed to be beyond the capability of the billing system and might I suggest, beyond the grasp of the politicians and bureaucrats that set the water rates. At the end of the day, our household will stop conserving water if the rate structure does not change. Twelve cubic metres would be a good start to filling an in-ground pool.
residence, the unstated implication being that people living in the surrounding areas won't have a say on this issue. When asked if there would be a referendum that included Area D and E, the mayor said only it was an "option." At the end of the meeting, a straw vote ballot was passed out, asking if we favoured a prison here and again asking where we lived. Will council ignore all of the votes by residents outside the town boundaries? Is this what passes for public consultation here? And by the way, the results of that ballot have never been released. The Morning Star
article has only an unattributed statement that the vote was "split about 50-50." Who sez? Premier Campbell says "it's not something we would impose," but the village can do the dirty work for the premier by imposing a decision not only on the residents of Lumby, but on the residents of the surrounding Areas D and E with a population three times that of the village. And if jobs and economic development for the Monashee is an important issue, then the mayor and village council should be asking for public input to determine which of the many possible options the community has for creating a viable economy and civic involvement that will make everyday issues like sewer upgrading a simple, affordable one. The Monashee region already has much to offer all of us — that's why we chose to live here. There is a wealth of talent and imagination that can help our community grow in a healthy, organic and sustainable way — the way we want it to grow. Come on folks, can't we do better than a prison in the industrial park? Doug Jones
their cigarette butts, tossing them on the ground or out the window of their car. Our parks are precious lands that need to be taken care of, not treated as ash trays; especially when the risk of fire is so great in our area. We need to not only be very cautious with cigarette butts in our parks, we need to ban them completely. The Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life campaign this past spring advocated for a tobacco ban on beaches. This campaign was sparked not only by the negative impact that tobacco has on our health but also on our environment. Many forest fires can be prevented. Reducing the amount of abandoned cigarette butts left in our parks will help. Our health and our environment are at risk by allowing tobacco use in these precious areas. By implementing a tobacco ban in parks, we will be supporting a safer, healthier British Columbia for everyone. Tanya Currie
Congratulations NORD, you have just created a water guzzler. Now I just have to figure out how to get some level of government to give me the money to pay for my pool? Hey Colin Mayes, I have a shovel-ready project. Is there any infrastructure money left that needs to be spent? Greg Allan BAN CIGARETTES Re: Blaze reinforces need for ban in The Morning Star. It is of paramount importance that a ban on tobacco products in parks be implemented immediately. As the article mentions, fire danger ratings in the summer are always extremely high, and something as small as a cigarette butt can fuel a flame. While the recent blaze in Okanagan Landing was fairly small and quickly contained, everyone who lives in the Okanagan is well aware of how fast fires can spread. Many people are careless with

remier Campbell's recent 'consultation' with the Lumby Mayor Kevin Acton regarding a prison for our community has only added more confusion to an already murky situation. The statements by both politicians seem more than a little disingenuous to say the least. Campbell says it's up to the village, and Acton says council is "still gathering information." If the recent public information meeting is any indication, village council is more interested in selling the idea to the public than presenting the information needed for people to make an informed decision. At the meeting, the mayor admitted that despite requests to B.C. Corrections going back several months, Corrections was not forthcoming with any details, so no reliable information could be presented to the public meeting. Instead, the consultant hired by the village to run the meeting trotted out three "experts": a former prison guard and a former sheriff (both retired), and an architect that designs prison buildings!

Fonyo weds at beach VIVIAN MOREAU Black Press
Steve Fonyo stumbled on the steps leading up from the beach where he’d just married Lisa Greenwood. But his bride caught his arm before he fell. “We’ve been supporting each other a lot in the past few months,” Greenwood said after, as the newly married couple waited for a horse and carriage to arrive to take them to a reception after their Saturday afternoon wedding at Fonyo Beach in Victoria. Fonyo, wearing a rented black tux, said the wedding is the start of a new life for the couple. Both the former Vernon resident and Greenwood had been in jail for short periods this spring and summer on fraud and theft charges. “Our past is behind us. There’s a few little things we’ve got to work out, but it will be worked out. Things always do work out. Even though we had a few obstacles I knew the

A jubilant Steve Fonyo and his bride Lisa Greenwood give a cheer after being pronounced husband and wife after their wedding ceremony Saturday at Fonyo Beach in Victoria. marriage was going to happen,” Fonyo said. Greenwood said Fonyo had repeated that refrain during the past few trying months. “I knew the strength was there,” she said of how they handled the experience. “It was just a matter of whether we had enough to hold it together through that. But now it (the wedding) has happened and
away we go on a new adventure,” she added. The duo had a storybook wedding at the beach where Fonyo finished his historic crosscountry run 25 years ago that raised $13 million for cancer research. It was Fonyo’s first wedding and Greenwood’s second. Fonyo was accompanied through an aisle of red and white streamers across the rocky beach
by his mother, Anna Fonyo, to the ceremony. The bride was walked across the beach by her parents, Bruce and Louise Greenwood. The bride’s daughter, Kari Greenwood, was her maid of honour. Fonyo’s long-time friend Kris Palmarchetty was his best man. The wedding was organized by retired businesswoman Saanich resident Norma Fitzsimmons. A Victoria dress shop donated Greenwood’s off-shoulder white satin dress which featured a draped cinched waist, beaded detailing, woven strapped back and onemetre train. “I had to go to the shop to get help putting it on,” Greenwood admitted. Other businesses donated the bride’s hairstyling and her and her daughter’s bouquets of rubrum lilies, red roses and irises. A photographer, sitar player and horse carriage tour were also donated.

Boat and vehicle hit by Molotov cocktails ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP are investigating two incidents involving Molotov cocktails that caused minor damage to a boat and a vehicle. Both of the incidents are believed to have occurred overnight Monday. “There was one on Tronson Road involving a boat and one on Heritage Drive involving a vehicle,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “It appears both were drive-bys, probably done by an individual out doing malicious things.” Chris Knight discovered damage done to his 26-foot Cutter cuddy by a cocktail Monday morning. The boat was parked on a trailer on the side of the road in the 750 block of Tronson Road. “There was a beer bottle full of some kind of oil, and a piece of fabric that was on fire landed on my ladder, which was extended,” said Knight.
“My ladder melted and the boat was splattered with oil.” Of concern to
Knight was the fact that his teenagers had considered sleeping on the boat Sunday night,
and of concern to the RCMP is that both cases are simply reckless. “It’s a foolish act
could have done a number of things.” Anybody with any information on the inci-
dents is asked to call the RCMP at 250-545-7171, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Road checks keep police officers busy ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
RCMP were out in force Friday enforcing driving laws, looking for impaired drivers and aiming to keep North Okanagan roadways safe. Numerous vehicle road checks were conducted by members of the Vernon municipal detachment’s traffic department, North Okanagan Traffic Services and Integrated Road Safety Unit at various locations throughout Vernon, and it was a night that kept officers busy. There was one impaired charge and five 24-hour suspensions issued. There was also one drug suspension and one illegal drug seizure. The police report eight Liquor Act charges, five seatbelt charges and three prohibited drivers. Twelve vehicles were taken off the road. There were 56 other Motor Vehicle Act charges levied, ranging from improper licensing to vehicle defects,
Planning proceeds Morning Star Staff
Lake Country residents are being urged to plan for the future. The district’s Age-Friendly Living Guidelines Project will hold a town hall meeting Sept. 27 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the municipal office. It will be an opportunity to share your views, opinions and ideas about age-friendly planning. A series of six focus group sessions will also be held in October as part of the process. Elements of an agefriendly community include health, accessible housing types, transportation options and opportunities for meaningful intergenerational interaction. For more information, call 250-878-1825.

Thief targets service station Morning Star Staff
Lake Country RCMP are looking for a suspect that robbed a service station Friday. Just after 9 p.m., a man dressed in black and wielding a knife ran into the Shell station. “The suspect jumped over counter and asked the terrified clerk to open the cash drawer,� said RCMP spokesman Const. Steve Holmes. “The clerk responded by running from the station, to a nearby restaurant, and called police.� Upon arrival at the service station, police found the suspect had fled. Surveillance footage showed that the suspect appeared to be Caucasian and was wearing a long-sleeved grey T-shirt, a black balaclava and sunglasses, a grey camo-pattern backpack, blue jeans and running shoes. The suspect’s height is estimated at five-footfive and his weight at 150-pounds. He was carrying a six-inch bladed knife with a black handle. The suspect left the store without any cash

Vertigo goes retro for new exhibits Nostalgia comes to life with photos and installations depicting a model’s career and a former Okanagan building KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
The memorabilia from a former fashion model’s career and the remnants of an old grocery store are part of two retro-themed exhibitions opening at Gallery Vertigo Sept. 9. Sustainable Model – The Artistry of Dorian Kohl is a creative retrospective, though photos and installations, illustrating the evolution of Kohl’s former life as a high fashion model, which she says is considered an art form, albeit one in a highly competitive field. “There is the art of movement that comes from the model and the art of understanding the character you are portraying through the style and the clothing you are wearing on your body,” said Kohl who is now based in Armstrong. “The relationship you have with the photographer is also important, relating to what is the theme and what the designer is trying to say through the garment. Together you are working as artists. There’s no doubt about it.” Born Doreen, Kohl grew up in Regina, Sask. and began modeling when the city’s first agency opened. She did fashion shows and commercials when she wasn’t working as a secretary for a telephone company, and later left for Toronto in 1962 to pursue modelling and acting. Discovered by the producers of Wayne and Shuster, Kohl worked on the Canadian comedy duo’s TV show as an actress for 10 years, and was also a regular in The Actioneer, with Ted Follows, during the same time. Kohl later went to the U.K. where she modelled and performed in the BBC variety TV show, International Cabaret. She also modelled in London, Montreal, New York and Detroit before moving to Summerland in 1974, where she continued to model in Vancouver for Holt Renfrew and Eaton’s. “One moment, I would be a housewife, and another time I would portray someone who was very wealthy, quite different from myself, and taking on different ethnic characters. I had a great time depicting all these different

Being an actress informed me as a model and as a model, it deeply informed me as an actress.” After leaving Summerland, and living in Mexico for 11 years, where she created and mounted the one-women show, The Portrait of a Lady based on Margaret Lawrence’s The Stone Angel, Kohl moved back to the Okanagan in 1989, settling in Armstrong with her husband, Ken Smedley, and her three children. Three summers ago, Kohl, who still acts on stage and instructs yoga among with other artistic pursuits, went through her old
magazine clippings and photographs to create her biography, but instead of writing a book, she decided to create a visual display. These materials have become the elements of her exhibition, and include photographs, magazine ads, mannequins displaying vintage clothing, and poster boards with TV photos and performance memorabilia. “People have loved reminiscing about the ‘60s and ‘70s through the images. They get quite nostalgic about it,” she said. That nostalgic feeling will be sustained for The SuperValu Redux exhibit by Penticton artist Drew Makepeace.
The work is comprised of two parallel and complementary artistic tracks: photographic work and installation. Selected photographs, culled from nearly 2,000 images, depict various design elements of the SuperValu grocery store in Penticton before it was demolished in 2006, while the installation is comprised of pieces from the store’s demolition site. “SuperValu, by the time it was torn down, had become a structure we took for granted as merely a place to buy groceries,” said Makepeace. “We can now look back on it through images of the design and its destruction, a design ironically made more poignant by the process of being torn down.” Not unlike some structures that still exist or once stood in the Okanagan, the SuperValu was built in the mid-20th century modern style. Makepeace, who shopped there on numerous occasions, says the building was a fine example of urban architecture married with aesthetic principles, and he especially admired the artistic form of the building from its bright colours to its translucent façade. “Old enough to be seen as obsolete, but too young to have historical value, designs and design elements of the ‘50s and ‘60s are becoming increasingly rare,” he said. “Their summary demolition contrasts starkly with the spirit in which they were constructed as symbols of pride and of the optimism of the time.” Besides the exhibitions by Kohl and Makepeace, Vertigo is showing the assemblage and mixed media work by artist Robin MacDonald on the North Okanagan Artists Alternative members wall. An artists’ reception takes place Sept. 18 from 7 to 9 p.m. The exhibitions run to Oct. 8. Gallery Vertigo is located at Ste. 1 (upstairs), 3001-31st St. in downtown Vernon.

The colourful singing quartet from Down Under, featuring Sam Moran (yellow), Jeff Fatt (purple), Anthony Field (blue) and Murray Cook (red), are bringing their highly interactive, fun and educational message to Kelowna. Okanagan families will be able to see The Wiggles live along with all their friends, Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Henry the Octopus, Wags the Dog and the Wiggly Dancers, as they bring the excitement of the big top with a wiggly twist. Young audience members are encouraged to dress up or cre-
ate a sign at home for the show, which encourages lots of participation. Not only will kids be able to interact with their favourite wiggly pal as they sing and dance through the audience, there’s also the mandatory yelling of “Wake up, Jeff!” whenever the lovable purple Wiggle falls asleep onstage. The Wiggles have performed more than 350 shows to more than 1.5 million fans since 2005 in the U.S. alone. One of Australia’s lead-
ing exports, the group performs more than 200 shows annually across four continents, and are seen on TV in more than 110 countries worldwide.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Pursuant to the provisions of Section 892 of the Local Government Act, a Public Hearing will be held in the Council Chambers of the Township of Spallumcheen, 4144 Spallumcheen Way, Spallumcheen, B.C. on Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. to hear representations on the following matters:
Morning Star Staff
A $10,000 grant from the Okanagan Basin Water Board will help ensure progress managing the valley’s Canada goose population continues into 2011. The program received the funding from the water board to heighten awareness about health issues related to limiting the goose population. Municipal governments throughout the Okanagan partner to deliver the program. The committee works to reduce the risk of potential human harm due to contamination of water and other public resources. Efforts focus on reducing goose populations to naturally sustainable levels, where sufficient native habitat exists to support the goose population without problematic use of public park and urban lands, and educating people about problems with wild geese.

Rental housing moves ahead for seniors Calendar Staff
Seniors’ rental housing in Lake Country has received a major boost. On Saturday, the federal and provincial governments announced finances for 10 new seniors’ apartments at Cedar Court. which will be managed by the Society of HOPE. “Lake Country seniors will soon have greater accessibility to more quality, affordable rental homes in their community,” said Lorne Gerber, society president.
“We are pleased to partner with all levels of government to make this vital housing project possible.” Cedar Court is a one-storey modular housing development on Bottom Wood Lake Road. Construction is anticipated to be complete in winter 2011, and the total capital cost is about $1.73 million for the 10 units. The federal government will provide $742,500 while $772,953 will come from
the provincial governmet, and the Society of HOPE is providing land equity of $223,700. “The Government of Canada is helping Canadian seniors and people with disabilities during these tough economic times,” said Stockwell Day, president of the federal treasury board. “This investment is a definitive example of our provincial commitment to provide more affordable housing solutions for those

The new development is being welcomed by the District of Lake Country. “Lake Country has a great community of seniors with an active and engaging lifestyle,” said Mayor James Baker. “Cedar Court offers these seniors an excellent and affordable housing option so that they can continue to reside in the community they are proud to call home.”

Morning Star Staff
Morning Star Staff
Midfielder Andrew Stein describes striker Brent Poulsen as being â&#x20AC;&#x153;ridicuously fast.â&#x20AC;? Poulsen, who some say can turn out the lights and jump into bed before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dark, used his NASCAR wheels big time Sunday night as North Enderby Timber grounded the Revelstoke Stallions 3-0 at Marshall Field. Poulsen scored twice as the Timber won their fifth Gibson Cup in seven years, and first in three North Okanagan Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Soccer League seasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually go with the long balls much, but they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to contain Brentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speed so we kept giving him the ball long,â&#x20AC;? said Stein. Poulsen opened the offence in the 21st minute when he made a couple of moves on a defender before chipping the ball over the keeper from just inside the 18-yard area. Veteran striker Johnny Orton connected in the 35th minute, scampering down the left side on a semi-breakaway and just eluding a defender before unleashing a corker which dribbled in off the keeperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fingertips. NET finished off the Stallions in the early seconds of the second half when Poulsen picked up an errant pass by a defender and buried the ball low from 10 yards out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was probably our most composed game of the season,â&#x20AC;? said Stein. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody was in the right place and talking.â&#x20AC;? Stein and Chris Pisesky controlled the central midfielder after Chris Ovens dislocated his shoulder after absorbing a hard tackle and falling to the turf in the eighth minute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to do some shuffling around the defence and Sam Watson was a great stand-in,â&#x20AC;? said Stein. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He played everywhere for us. Graham Ross was also solid

North Enderby Timber's Corey Wallace takes a hard blindside check from Revelstoke Stallions' Mike Kozak in the North Okanagan Men's Soccer League Gibson Cup final Sunday at Marshall Field. on defence.â&#x20AC;? The Stallions won the regular-season title at 13-1-2, while NET placed second at 10-24, leading the league with 77 goals. Danny Stein recorded the shutout, not being forced to make any eye-popping stops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even really explain what happened. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to say were over-confident but we were overly-excited for the game,â&#x20AC;? said Revelstoke captain Sergio Spataro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Excited but at the same time very calm.
We just thought things would come and things would happen during the game which is the approach we were taking all this season, but this game it just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come.â&#x20AC;? Spataro gave full credit to NET for their play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They played exceptional. We had to be better than good last night and we were just average,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They beat us to every ball. They were just more hungry.â&#x20AC;? The loss marked a disappointing end to an other-
wise successful season for the Stallions. They won the regular-season title for the second year in a row and made it to the finals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one round better than last year when they were upset in the semifinals. Longtime soccer referee Ian Gibson presented the playoff trophy to the Timber. The rest of the NET roster, sponsored by Dave Poggemoeller, are: Kyle Halvorson, Corey Wallis, Ross McDonald, Devin Janke, Harminder Sandhu and Brodie Couch.
The Vernon Vipers have 10 days and two exhibition games to get down to a 23-man squad. Released from their training camp roster after last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s B.C. Hockey League exhibition series with the Trail Smoke Eaters are: netminder Zach Station, defencemen Zach McLellan, Logan Hawgood and Taylor Egan, and forwards Brady Fuller, CJ Lillies, Sean Alldridge, Rylie Gallagher, Marley Keca and Jake Wensley, who left camp early due to injury. That leaves the Vipers with 16 forwards, nine d-men and three goalies, meaning Vipersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach/GM Mark Ferner will have five more cuts to make before their regular-season opener Friday, Sept. 10 against the Salmon Arm SilverBacks at Wesbild Centre. The two teams tangle in an exhibition home-and-home series this weekend â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Friday night at Wesbild, and Saturday at the Sunwave Centre. After hammering Trail 4-0 Friday night, Vernon made it two straight over the Smokies, salvaging a 4-3 win Saturday night in Chase. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a sloppy game to say the least,â&#x20AC;? said Vipersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; assistant coach Jason Williamson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taught systems or anything like that. We kind of throw them out there and let them play and let them be creative and maybe see some chemistry with some guys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mainly work ethic and compete levels, and overall weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been pretty impressed so far. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good foundation there.â&#x20AC;? Trailing 3-1 early in the second period, Vernon equalized later in the frame on goals by Gus Correale and Marcus Basara, on a breakaway for his second of the night. Forward Kyle Murphy, a Fairhaven, N.J. product who played last season with the NCAA Notre Dame Fighting Irish, charged out from the corner to bang home the winner in the third period. Assists went to John Knisley, Tanner Cochrane, Lilies and Correale, a Prince George product with loads of Vernon relations. Blake Voth allowed all three Smoke Eater goals before Station took over in the second half. Viper d-man Bennett Hambrook fought Trailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joey Baker. Veterans Adam Thompson, Bryce Kakoske, Dave Robinson and Stevie Weinstein have yet to play in exhibition. Meanwhile, the Vipers have also acquired defenceman Elliott Richardson from the Central Canadian Hockey League Lindsay Muskies in exchange for future considerations. The 1991-born Hanmer, Ont. native recorded seven goals for 31 points in the 2008-09 season, but missed all but five games (1-4-5) last season due to injury. He earned an invite to the World Junior A Challenge Canada East team tryouts before he was sidelined.

Athletes storm Ironman Black Press Sports
PENTICTON – The rain poured, the wind blew and the sun beat down, but the wacky weather didn’t stop 2,732 athletes from starting one of the most gruelling races known to man. Sunday’s Subaru Ironman Canada saw a record number of international athletes, with 2,605 finishing the 28th annual Penticton-based race under the 17 hour cut-off mark. Included in the pack was a high number of Vernon area athletes who completed the 3.8-kilometer swim in Okanagan Lake, followed by the scenic 185-k bike ride through the south valley and finishing with a 42-k marathon run along Skaha Lake. Heather Wurtele, formerly of Vernon, placed second overall competing in the women’s pro division, finishing just over three minutes from behind San Francisco’s Meredith Kessler in nine hours, 17 minutes and 17 seconds. First-place finishers in the pro women’s and men’s divisions collected $12,000 each. Her husband and training partner, Trevor Wurtele, came in at 8:54:49, placing 12th overall in the men’s pro division behind first place winner Victor Zyemtsev of the Ukraine. Zyemtsev had to fight for his position with Germany’s Christian Brader, who was just 13 seconds behind in one of the closest men’s finishes in the history of the race. Former Vernonite Janelle Morrison, now of Penticton, came in at 9:48:15, placing eighth in the women’s pro division.
In the ages divisions, Vernon’s Simon Craig came in with an overall time of 10:32 in the men’s 40 to 44 age category, followed closely behind by Virginia Sellars, with a time of 10:49:32, giving her third place status in the women’s 35 to 39 age group. Marathon runner Michael Stoll, 40, made it through at 11:55:48, while 20-year-old triathlete Vanessa Tilson came in at 11:58:51, placing fourth in women 18 to 24. Placing second in women 60 to 64 was former Olympic swimmer Hella Versfeld, 60, with a time of 12:09:25. Morning Star sales representative Karen Cooper, 39, completed her very first Ironman in 12:18:30, while fellow Ironman newbie Gerry Naito, 52, came in at 13:06:49. Other local athletes completing Ironman this year included Jeanne Byron, 60, (13:20:17), who placed third in women 60 to 64, Christian Gignac, 48, (13:27:54), Frank Ballauf, 51, (13:36:48), Cole Melin, 20, (13:43:15), Tamara Dantzer, 46, (14:05:45), Brian Travelbea, 60, (14:40:57), Sue Abbott, 66, (15:23:36), who was awarded second place in women 65 to 69, Tara Steck, 55, (15:26:18) and Geoff White, 58, (16:57). Victory was sweet for Zyemtsev as he calmly went through the finish line as the men’s pro champion. Zyemtsev arrived to a warming crowd, which he high-fived as he completed Ironman Canada in 8:32:28, 11 seconds ahead of Brader. The 37-year-old said the course was difficult, especially on the bike, which took him 4:47:53 to complete. “In other races we are racing Ironman
courses, it’s pretty flat,” said Zyemtsev, who finished the swim in 49:26. “The course is hilly and makes this course more difficult and more slow.” As the bike section provided a challenge, weather conditions joined the mix as triathletes dealt with coldness and rain. Zyemtsev said he was “freezing” at one point. Kessler welcomed the conditions athletes were forced to deal with. “I lucked out with the weather today because I enjoy cooler Ironman weather,” said Kessler, who pulled away from Wurtele and defending champion Tereza Macel to cross the finish line in 9:13:46. “I feel elated to have had that day,” said the San Francisco resident. “I’m very thankful for it. A lot of hard work and effort goes into it mentally and physically so I was glad to see it executed on the course.” Since Macel led the triathlon for roughly half the time, Kessler said doubt had crept into her mind about being able to win. “You go through such ups and downs during that nine-plus hours,” said Kessler, who works for the Royal Bank of Canada. “At one point Tereza had a four-minute lead and my whole theme of this race was to keep calm, carry on and let things evolve.” Evolve they did. Once Wurtele started slowing and the tri were together, Kessler made her move and took off. “I started feeling good and I know Heather can run so I was like, oh, I better go,” she said. “Then it started raining. I was like let’s just keep going.”

Zack in the zone Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Marauders started the Interior Junior Bantam Football Conference season off with a 44-7 win over the Kamloops Broncos Sunday at Grahame Park. Zack Kronbauer led the charge with five touchdowns behind the solid blocking of Max Chapman, Dimitri Radchenko, Jett Carey, Jordan Taylor, Carson Labrecque and Zackary Barton. QB Tye Kitzman completed 50 per cent of his passing with no interceptions, and scrambled for a TD. Trey Isaac was good on 4-of6 convert attempts to round out the Marauder scoring. The Vernon defence was equally as effective. Levi Nicholas and Brayden Wiebe both had interceptions while corners Connor Kamann and MacKenzie Henry had several knock downs to stifle the Bronco air attack. Defensive ends Luke Nelson and Jacob Laflamme- Yonkman, with the help of tackles Hayden McLean, Nyla McPherson and Bryce Sorensen provided solid protection against the Bronco ground game. In Pee Wee season-opening action, the Vernon Yellow
Jackets ambushed the host Kamloops Broncos 24-0. Vernon received the ball at the beginning of the game and took eight plays to march downfield. Quarterback Morgan Nichols scored on a 20-yard run to make the score 6-0. The Jackets' defence took over and put Kamloops three plays and out. On the next offensive drive, once again an eight-play drive was capped off with a 15-yard TD run by Nichols. Vernon’s defence, led by a sack from Reid (Pinball) McKenzie once again put Kamloops out in three plays. Later in the second quarter, Zach Benn scampered for a 30-yard TD to make it 18-0. The Yellow Jacket defence, which allowed only one first down all game, was just as dominant in the second half. They were sparked by Jorden Scherck, Keith Jones, McKenzie, Josh Hyer, Eric David, Tyler Braun, Weston Vanderveen and Issac Olsen, who all recorded multiple tackles. Thomas Mackiewich recorded an interception as well in the third quarter. The game ended with Dylan Huber running for

Vernon Marauders' Zach Kronbauer (middle) cuts through the Kamloops Broncos’ defence for a touchdown during Junior Bantam football action Sunday at Grahame Park. a 15-yard TD. Also running the ball for the Yellow jackets were Koalden Oakden and Keegan Vicklund. "Special mention goes out to the first-year offensive lineman Tyler (Duck) Sova, Jeff Estrada, Levi Dimitriou, Garret Black-Thomas and veteran Miles Forrest, who did a great job blocking," said Jackets' head coach Ed Huber. Vernon plays Penticton in their home opener Sunday. Tristen Baker and Ethan Anderson had a very strong game running the football as the Vernon Blue Bombers
fell 13-6 to the West Kelowna Sundevils in Atom play. Centre Devin Hofsink had a good performance on the offensive line, while stand out defensive player was safety Kayden Doughty with eight solo tackles along with a handful of assisted tackles. The Bombers' defensive linebacker Tayber McLean was in the backfield all game creating a havoc for the Sundevils' quarterback and running backs. Special teams player of the game was Doughty with an outstanding 55-yard kick return for a touchdown.

Camels clip Ogopogos Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Hi-Pro Sports Camels came from behind to clip the stubborn Big O Tire Ogopogos 3-2 in Capri Insurance 45+ Soccer League action Monday night at Marshall Field #2. Big striker Mark Wasylyk scored a pair of first-half goals on scrambles just feet away from Camels' keeper Dave Dutcher. The first-place Camels (18-1-1) opened the scoring in the eighth minute when Gord Howard went low from 17 yards out on Yogi Kongsdorf after a feed from Al Murphy. Howard, who has 27 goals, is riding a six-game scoring streak. Wasylyk, surrounded by defenders, kicked at a bouncing ball which was sent in front by Jan Hubert, to equalize about 12 minutes later. Hard-working central midfielder Brad Conlin took a hard low drive outside the 18 yard line and Wasylyk rushed in for the availabe rebound to put the Ogopogos (4-12-4) up 2-1 a few minutes later. Central midfielder Dan Zieske unleashed a toe poke from 22 yards out which fooled Kongsdorf just four minutes into the second half. Defender Ron Krause netted the winner eight minutes later with a hard, low shot which bounced through the closing arms of Kongsdorf, who made several clutch saves. Rod Trentini, who played alongside Zieske and Rob Hulstein in central midfield, was the Eastside Mario's Man of the Match for the Humpbacks. Big O Tire's Aqua Man of the Match was Ruben Cerventes, who played a super game as stopper even after a weekend team year end party at his farm on Salmon Valley Road. North Country Appraisals Kickers did the Camels a favour by punishing secondplace Penticton United 5-2 at Parkinson 16. The game was scoreless until the 10 minute

That rattled Penticton and North Country took advantage scoring four times before the end of the half. Penticton (16-2-2 and five points back of the Camels with two games remaining) responded twice within the first 10 minutes of the second half but North Country, playing with just 11 men, added a late insurance marker. Chris Odermatt and Ken Wither each scored twice for North Country (163-1) and Will Kruiper had a single. In a good-natured game played at Marshall Field #1, Lake Country downed the Silver Stars 2-0. The game was very tight for the first 30 minutes with both teams holding their own. The deadlock was finally broken at the 35- minute mark when Geoff Greenwell got on the end of a beautifully-floated cross from Nick Wood to head the ball home. Lake Country increased their lead when Brad Rustad converted a fumble from the Stars' keeper off a powerful free kick from Wood.
Adanacs mop up Minto Morning Star Staff
Brought in as an insurance policy, Brodie MacDonald understood his role with the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs. The hulking netminder didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see more than a few minutes of action at the Minto Cup national junior A lacrosse tournament, but that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop him from cherishing the championship ride. Dan Lewis, the Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starter all season, was on top of his game at the tourney, and MacDonald doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begrudge him his playing time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He got onto a hot streak and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to change whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not broken,â&#x20AC;? said MacDonald, who turns 21 on September 11. Lewis turned in a stellar 40-save performance as host Coquitlam soared to an 8-4 win Saturday night at the Sports Centre, sweeping two-time defending champion Orangeville Northmen from Ontario in the bestof-three final. It is the Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first-ever Minto Cup championship. Up 5-4, the Adanacs fired three goals in a four-minute span midway
through the third period to blow open a close game. Ben McIntosh whipped in three goals, including the winner 2:34 into the third period, to pace the Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Mark Matthews added two goals and two assists for the winners, while Riley Loewen contributed a goal and three helpers. Matthew Dinsdale and Garrett McIntosh also tallied for Coquitlam. Jr. Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s captain and defender Matt Beers was chosen his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game MVP. Picked up from the Burnaby Lakers at the BCJLL trade deadline, MacDonald saw action, both in relief and as a starter, during the playoffs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guys were really good to be around. We had lots of fun over the playoffs and into the Minto,â&#x20AC;? said MacDonald, noting the finals were all 1,800+ sellouts at the Coquitlam Sports Centre. MacDonald, who returned to Vernon on Sunday, hopes to hear his named called at the National Lacrosse League Entry Draft, which goes next Wednesday in Toronto.
Rick Auch in goal for Lake Country stood tall and blanked the Stars with a number of fine saves and Russ Hamer was once again the key man in defense. Lake Country improved to 10-9-1 and Silver Stars dropped to 7-11-2. Host Salmon Arm blasted Okanagan Spring 5-1 on the strength of two goals from Wolfgang Bopp. Salmon Arm (6-14) also got goals from Pascal Plessis, Jan van Lindert and Andrew Whiston. Mike Lloyd replied for the Brewers (12-8). Prior to the game, there were words of tribute by Wayne Aasen on behalf of Okanagan Spring, in memory of popular Spring player Doug Massie, who died Aug. 20 of a brain aneurism at age 51.

Sun QB Bobby Davis breaks an attempted tackle by a Bronco defender Saturday at the Apple Bowl. McCall said improvements still need to be made. "As a coaching staff, we are pretty critical," he said. "Those games could have had even higher scores, there are things we still need to work on. The offense still isn't quite there yet. "We are so strong and athletic, and our defense is so powerful, we expect those kinds of games to be at least 50-plus." McCall said his club heads into the break with very few injuries of concern. The coaching staff has given the players this Thursday through next Monday off before returning to practice on Tuesday, Sept. 7. "It's a good time for the guys to relax and enjoy their time off," said McCall. "It's also a good time to get into the gym, get some lifts in and take care of the body. We're not at all banged up going into the break, so we should be in good shape coming out of it." The Sun returns to action Sunday, Sept. 12 when they host the Chilliwack Huskers, 2 p.m. at the Apple Bowl.

KELOWNA – The win-loss record six games into the B.C. Football Conference season isn't vastly better than it was in 2009. But 12 months later, Peter McCall sees his Okanagan Sun as a considerably different football team. With the growing pains of McCall's rookie season in the past, and the players following the lead of their more self-assured and confident head coach, the Sun head into the BCFC's bye week in a positive state of mind and in charge of their own destiny. "I think it's a better team, a more athletic team, and we really have a different look with all the new players here," said McCall, whose club went 6-4 and finished fourth in 2009. "As for my own situation goes, I'm feeling a lot more like myself, I'm more comfortable in my own skin and I have a great rapport with these kids. I feel more like it's my team than I did a year ago." The Sun (5-1) enter the break in a dead heat for first place with the rival Vancouver Island Raiders. Thanks to winning the season series against the Raiders on points (46-42), the Sun would take first place in the event the teams finished in a tie. With games remaining against Chilliwack, Surrey and two against Victoria, the Sun have a favourable schedule. McCall said the chance to host two playoff games is more than enough motivation for his players to run the table over the last four weeks of the season. "If we do drop one, we probably have to go back to Caledonia Park (Nanaimo) in October and play again," said McCall. "We love our field and our fans, and to be able to play at the Apple Bowl and not have to travel anymore would be a big bonus. The guys have it in their hands right now." The Sun is coming off a pair of blowout wins, 50-0 over Chilliwack and 53-7 last Saturday at home against the Kamloops Broncos. As dominant as his team has been as of late,

The Tiremen, who finished seventh at 7-5-6, went ahead 25 minutes into the second half before the Camels tied it three minutes later when Mike Collins connected on a 25-footer top shelf. Daly headed in a 30-yard free kick with seven minutes left, but the goal was ruled offside. The Camels placed sixth at 8-6-4 and will meet the third-place Lake Country (10-4-4) in the first round of playoffs Monday, Sept. 13.

Training on a tall ship that sailed the Atlantic and Mediterranean taught Patricia A. Donahue the ways of the sea — working as nurse, teacher and counselor, and growing up in a big family in a small town taught her about people living their lives together. She brings the experiences together in her novel, Mighty Orion Fate, the story of an old sea captain when he is placed in a nursing home and how the experience impacts his family in unimaginable ways. Donahue was born and raised in Dalhousie, Mighty Orion Fate is a port town in inspired by the writer’s New Brunswick, time on a tall ship. the only bilingual province in Canada. “My family of nine children didn’t have a car but my father built boats and we always had a boat. The sea is also in my blood and it was an adventure to sail on a tall ship on 2004 and understand what those sailors went through,” she said. The tall ships are still used around the world for tours, schools and scientific research. That hands-on experience — she had to climb the masts and wrestle with the sails like all the other trainees and earned her Level 1, Deep Sea Sailor Certificate — is combined with memories from intergenerational gathering as she kept the information in her book correct as a tribute to seafarers. Donahue trained and worked as a registered nurse in Montreal, she then moved to Vancouver, trained and practised as a psychotherapist and taught at Kwantlen University College. She had published in academic journals but her fiction writing came about by chance.

The 111th Interior Provincial Exhibition opens its doors today and is expected to draw more than 150,000 attendees over the next five days of the event. And don’t be surprised if many of them are seniors this year. The IPE has featured its opening day as Seniors Day for years and offers a discount to all seniors who attend. This year, the exhibition is taking things a few steps further. First, they are extending the seniors’ discount ($11 instead of $15) to Thursday.

Patricia A. Donahue put up a poster of the tall ship Barque Europa. “The university had some left-over professional-development funds. We each got $97 and I didn’t know what I could get for that so I took a night school course on novel writing, thinking it would be interesting but not meaning to write anything. The instructor told me I had to write a novel if I wanted to stay in class so I started writing. It’s been a long, funny, winding road.” She had several short stories published in magazines and anthologies and, eight years after it was started, had Mighty Orion Fate, the first book of a trilogy,
published by Borealis Press in Ottawa earlier this year. Donahue now lives in Vernon, teaches creative writing at UBC Okanagan and conducts workshops and readings. She is currently at work on her next book. Bookland in Vernon will host a book signing for Mighty Orion Fate Sept. 11 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. The book is available at the Cracked Pot Coffee Emporium now and will be at Chapters in September. For more information or to order, call 250-503-3826.
The IPE opens today with discounts for seniors Morning Star Staff

Secondly, the IPE has partnered with Heaton Place (a seniors’ community under construction in Armstrong) to discount tickets even further. While supplies last, seniors can purchase discounted passes at the Heaton Place presentation centre at 3430 Okanagan St. in Armstrong for six dollars. “We are really excited that we could work together with Heaton Place to offer this promotion,” said IPE general manager Bryan Burns. “Seniors have always participated heavily in the IPE and anything we
can do to encourage more of them to attend is great.” Due to demand, tickets must be picked up in person during regular business hours (Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) and are limited to one per person. Area seniors seem to agree as tickets have been moving fast. As of Thursday afternoon there were approximately 50 to 60 of these subsidized tickets still available. “People have been coming in, calling, and emailing us since we started this promo-
tion,” said Heaton Place representative Kelly Brown. “It’s definitely a hit with the seniors and as an organization we’re really happy that we could get involved in the IPE in such a positive way.” The annual event features a stampede and rodeo, 4-H shows, agriculture, arts and culinary competitions, exhibits, vendors, entertainment, and a midway. Tickets will be available for pickup at the Heaton Place presentation centre until 3 p.m. today unless they sell out first.

Spice up your canning with salsa
I
f your family likes salsa, now is the time to try making and preserving your own, as nothing store bought can compare to the freshness or flavour of homemade salsas. Markets and home gardens are full of tomatoes, peppers, and onions, not to forget fruits, which lend themselves to unique blends of salsas. Another nice thing about making you own salsa is having the control over adjusting the heat to your own taste. A few tips to keep in mind when making salsas include using a stainless steel saucepan to cook the ingredients in, use a nonmetallic utensil to remove bubbles from the jars, always use gloves when handling hot peppers, ladle hot salsa into hot jars, and don’t over tighten the rings, finger-tight is perfect. Cathi Litzenberger Today I have a very simple recipe for beginners wanting to give it a first try. It’s from the Bernardin Guide to Home Preserving book, which I recommend everyone obtain, since knowledge for safe methods of canning have certainly changed over the years. The second recipe is for when I have leftover cobs of corn. It takes a little time to prepare but is well worth the effort

Special needs children learn with social thinking Morning Star Staff
Social thinking comes naturally for most children but for those with Attentiondeficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), nonverbal learning difficulties, high functioning autism and Asperger’s Syndrome, it can be delayed or difficult. The term social thinking was coined by Michelle Winner, who received a U.S. Congressional Award for her work in this treatment approach. She developed a curriculum for use by professionals working with children and adults needing help with social interaction skills. “Social thinking is what happens when we think about what others might be thinking about us and change our behaviour to keep others thinking the way we want them to,” said Clare Fuller, who has brought this new technique to Vernon in her practice, Social Works. Fuller is a counselor, speech pathologist, social worker and special-needs teacher who has used the social thinking approach
in schools and in her private practice in Vancouver. “Social thinking is necessary for the development of social interaction skills. It is usually learned intuitively. It’s about understanding another person’s perspective,” she said. “For example, by the time a baby is about a year old, it develops what is called joint attention where it can tell what others are looking at.” Teaching social thinking skills is not the same as teaching social skills. The social thinking skills are learning to think about what people think before making decisions or taking action, said Fuller. “I teach a variety of different things to help understand perspective taking, how to ‘think with the eyes,’ recognize people’s emotions and make smart guesses about what people will do,” she said. “Kids are often not paying attention and can’t get perspective. They will not pay attention to details but look at a person’s mouth or other moving objects and not know how to

Children and adolescents may be of normal or above-normal intel-
ligence but have varying degrees of social deficit and practice can help people learn to consider how other people might be thinking. The deficit might be do to neurological development delays which does not allows an individual to pick up on social nuances. Specific training can and support from family and teachers can help compensate for this.
Crop coming out roses
T
here are a few theories by some old timers that mountain ash trees predict the kind of winter we will have. A heavy crop of berries means that we will have a hard winter, the cedar waxwings and other birds are supplied with a great source of food. I doubt that theory. I notice as I drive around town that the walnut trees are really loaded with nuts, so squirrels will be well-supplied with food. In many gardens the crop is maturing. I have four tomato plants in my back yard and I have a real good crop of tomatoes. Nothing tastes as good as a vineripened tomato.
The farmers’ market had a lot of good produce, especially Walla Walla Spanish-type onions. The corn crop is really good. The farmers market should have a competition between exhibitors. Fred Lyall There are several booths that do an excellent job of presenting their pro-

duce. The Hospice House rose garden has been a real show during June, July and August and will be well into September. There are several rose blossoms in full bloom, really an excellent show. I see some real nice sunflowers in gardens around town. There are several booths at the farmers’ market displaying some really attractive sunflowers. There are several differ-
ent colours, all of them attractive. The fall fair in Armstrong will likely have entries in the tallest sunflower class. I remember an entry a couple of years ago that was almost 16 feet tall. I am told that entries as tall as 17 feet have been entered. Okanagan Gardens and Roses will meet Sept. 13 at 7:30 p.m. at the Schubert Centre. Visitors are always welcome to drop in.

With younger children, Fuller uses cartoon-like characters which represent conditions like worry and anxiety and helps them learn to get those characters out of their heads so the children do not see their social thinking deficits as a permanent part of themselves. Older children work more with books and role playing. They learn how to talk about their thoughts, feelings and social interactions. “We see that children are aware of the concepts and applying them in daily life and their self esteem increases. We set goals and I talk with parents at the end of each session because they are an important part of the follow through. I will also work with schools and other professionals,” said Fuller. “While learning social thinking and social skills and fitting in and having friends is
important, we appreciate that each individual is a unique and wonderful human being and we don’t want everyone to
be exactly the same.” For more information about social thinking call 250-542-5416 or email mysocialworks@gmail.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- A known gossip who doesn’t have your best interests at heart might skillfully try to get you to talk about things you shouldn’t. If you’re aware of things and on your toes, you can remain mum. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Unproven tips passed onto you by a well-intentioned friend should not be taken at face value. Your pal might mean well, but his or her information is likely to be greatly distorted. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- No one should be allowed to make a critical decision for you without your permission and, even then, only in a dire emergency. Without full knowledge of your affairs, such actions could be destructive. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be logical at all times, rather than wishful, regardless of how much you want something to be true. If your assessments are bad, so will be the results of your actions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Keep your thoughts to yourself, especially if they are ones that make you feel superior to others. There is no quicker way to lose friends than to act as if you think you’re better than everyone else. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You are asking for nothing but big trouble if you find more to criticize in your mate or special someone than you do to praise. Concentrate only on your loved one’s finer qualities. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It’s always important to acknowledge someone who goes out of his or her way to help you, but it may be even more so at
Ray Shields
this juncture. Next time, a “no thanks” will get you “no help.” TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- This could turn out to be one of those days when all those little nothing purchases could add up into one whopping sum, so stay on your toes. You could empty out your wallet in no time at all. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your awareness for detail is likely to be much sharper than usual. However, don’t use it for nitpicking but only to recognize problematical flaws that can be corrected. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Should you be pushed together once again with someone with whom you recently crossed swords, don’t pick up where you left off. Use this as a second chance to start over again. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Hanging out with friends who are penny-wise and pound-foolish doesn’t mean you have to be like them. Only you have control over your wallet, so use your personal power to control your spending.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. 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 includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

MY DREAM CAME TRUE! HURRY IN, CLEARANCE ON NOW! 558-1108
3003A 30th Ave., Downtown Vernon
Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder Henry Wheeler Shaw, a humorist who died in 1885 and used the pen name Josh Billings, claimed, “Laughing is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one spot.” Well, you will smile if you get this deal right, taking advantage of the two useful spot-cards you have been given. You are in four spades. West leads the heart 10. How would you plan the play? What do you think of “your” four-spade overcall? Bidding four spades is reasonable, whether or not partner is a passed hand. It is unlikely that you have a slam, and you might make life much harder for responder. Alternatively, you could sensibly start
with a takeout double, planning to rebid four spades if partner shows no signs of positive values. At trick one, the original declarer played low from the dummy, East signaled encouragement with his seven, and South won with his king. (Yes, East guessed well that his partner had not led a singleton.) Declarer drew trumps, then played his diamond to dummy’s queen. However, East won with his ace and shifted to the club jack. West took the trick and returned his second heart, giving East two tricks in that suit to defeat the contract. As often happens, declarer made his fatal error immediately. He should have smiled upon
dummy’s eight and nine of hearts. Then he should have covered West’s opening lead with dummy’s queen. East could have taken his ace, but South would have had a finessing position set up through East’s heart jack. And to take that finesse, declarer would have had a dummy entry in the spade nine.

McLeod, Bruce Wallington Bruce Wallington McLeod, age 84 years, was ushered into the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ on August 25, 2010 in Devon, Alberta, following a brief period of illness. Fondly remembered by his four sons, Ian (Pauline), Kevin (Jean), Roderick, and Robert; 5 grandchildren: Sarah Rehill (Shawn), Kathleen Etherington (Marc), Heather Ardron (Brad), Duncan McLeod (Aprielle), Jenna McLeod; 8 great grandchildren: Tristan, Gavyn, Evelyn, Ava, Lars, Mersaia, Gwendolyn, and baby Rehill, due in September; his only brother, Robert (1914); numerous nieces and nephews; his lifelong friends, Harold and Dusty, and a nephew of special mention, Ted. Bruce was predeceased by his loving wife of 60 years, Phyllis Elizabeth (Lucas) in 2008. Bruce was born in London, Ontario on December 14, 1925, the son of John Roderick (d. 1958) and Mabel Ellen (Potter) (d. 1953) McLeod. In 1943 Bruce enlisted in the RCAF and trained as an air gunner. After the war, he continued serving in the reserves and moving up the ranks to Major, at which time he served as the Commanding Officer of the 27 Squadron (London) Royal Canadian Air Cadets from 1973 to 1977. Bruce had a passion for aircraft and, along with a few of his friends, was instrumental in establishing the London International Air Show in 1975. Bruce was employed with Bell Canada for 38 years, primarily in outside plant engineering, until his retirement in 1984. A hi-light of his career was his two years in Saudi Arabia working in various aspects of the Kingdom’s telephone expansion program. His strong work ethic and engaging personality was a perfect match for this special assignment. Bruce was a principled man, who conducted himself with integrity throughout his life. He was a generous and faithful friend. Good-bye, for now, Sir. “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints”. Psalm 116:15 Memorial services are being planned for Devon, Vernon (where he lived for the past 20+ years), and Imperial, Sask. where he will be placed with his wife, Phyllis. In lieu of flowers and other tributes, people are encouraged to make a donation to a charity of their choice.
