Montreal Canadiens netminder Carey Price (centre) catches up with Vernon Vipers’ goaltending coach Sean Matile during a snakes practice Wednesday at Wesbild Centre.
Habs’ Price is right for Vipers GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
To hockey fans across the country, Carey Price is widely known as the starting netminder for the Montreal Canadiens. To Vernon Vipers’ equipment manager Gord (Hoon) Cochran, he’s just a good friend who happens to earn a seven-figure salary. The two grew up playing minor hockey together in Williams Lake, and despite Price’s skyrocket to stardom, they remained close friends. “He’s just one of my buddies. A couple of my other friends have trades, he plays hockey. He’s just one of the guys,” said Hoon, who traveled to Montreal for Games 3 and 4 of the Eastern Conference final against Philadelphia. When he heard Price would be heading up to Williams Lake from the U.S. this week,
he invited him to stop by for a practice with the Vipers. No big deal. The 6-foot-3, 220-pound tender happily obliged, taking part in the drills and chatting with the players and coaches. “I’ve known Hoon forever. Too long,” grinned Price, shortly before the session started Wednesday morning at Wesbild Centre. “He was a solid defenceman, a stay-at-home guy (in Williams Lake).” Even in minor hockey, Hoon said there was something special about Price. “He was a year younger than me and he was always playing up (a division). I remember our Bantam coach saying ‘You guys are lucky because he’s going to go somewhere.’ We were like ‘Ya, whatever coach.’ “Then in the Bantam draft that year he went seventh over-

all (Tri-City Americans) and we were saying ‘Maybe coach is onto something here,’ and sure enough he ends up going fifth overall to Montreal.” Asked if he ever scored on Price, Hoon laughed: “Probably when I was standing in front of the net and it went off my shin pad.” Wednesday wasn’t Price’s first encounter with the Vipers. Playing a handful of B.C. Hockey League games with the Quesnel Millionaires, he suited up against Vernon once in 2002-03. “It brings back memories,” said Price, of skating at Wesbild. “I actually played in this building at one point. I played in relief here one game. I remember it was a nice rink to play in. “The B.C. junior league is a pretty good league. You’ve got a lot of good players coming
from here.” Price has another connection with the Vipers, as he once attended a goalie camp in Williams Lake headed by Sean Matile, now the Snakes’ goaltending coach. In 2007, Price’s career surged after he went 6-0 with a .961 save percentage to lead Canada to gold at the 2007 World Junior Championships in Sweden. In addition to collecting CHL Goaltender of the Year honours that season with the Americans, Price went on to backstop the Hamilton Bulldogs (Montreal’s AHL affiliate) to the Calder Cup. Only 19 at the time, he was the youngest player in history to collect the Jack A. Butterfield Trophy (Calder Cup MVP).

Greater Vernon’s library is going to cost more, but officials insist it’s not a sign of things to come. Okanagan Regional Library staff will recommend to the board Wednesday that $2 million from reserves be added to the construction budget for a new 30,000-square-foot branch on 30th Avenue. That would be on top of the $11.9 million already budgeted. “The $11 million was based on an early quantity surveyor’s report and when we hired a project manager and architect, they said it may not be enough money for the whole building if we’re going to include underground parking,” said Lesley Dieno, executive director. Dieno doesn’t believe the additional $2 million means even more money will be required for the project. “I’d be really surprised. We have hired a good architectural firm and a good project manager,” she said, adding that the only factor that could possibly drive expenses upwards is an improving economy. “I don’t see the economy fast-tracking and huge increases in everything as they were before 2008.” Staff wants the money taken from reserves to avoid the need for additional tax increases. “It’s only moving money that’s allocated and we always thought it would go to Vernon,” said Dieno, adding that other projects throughout the ORL region won’t suffer because of the lack of reserves. Besides accessing reserves, another option proposed by staff is designing the building so it’s smaller and has fewer features. “Given that we already were assuming a building sized to current population and were not counting on adding significant special finishing or features, there may not be too much room here without compromising the building functionality or adding to operating costs,” said Don Nettleton, financial manager, in a written memo. Shawn Lee, Vernon’s representative to the ORL board, hasn’t decided if the budget should be expanded. “It’s a bit of a jump to add $2 million but I need to see the details first,” he said. “When you are constructing a building for a long period of time, you don’t want to not spend the money you should have right at the beginning, but I remain to be convinced.” Through the North Okanagan Regional District, ORL is borrowing $11 million for the new library.

Goalie settles contract issue Continued from A1 Price’s name has surfaced fairly regularly, and almost always controversially, in the national press this summer. Following their Cinderella waltz to the Eastern Conference finals last season, the Habs dealt playoff hero netminder Jaroslav Halak to the St. Louis Blues, opting to stick with Price, who only recently turned 23, as their franchise starter. After weeks of public speculation, he signed a two-year $5.5 million U.S. contract with the Canadiens earlier this month. As a star netminder in a hockey-mad market, Price handles the intense media scrutiny that goes along with his role with relative ease. Asked if he feels any extra pres-

Family struggles with loss Morning Star Staff
Prayers will be recited Sunday, and funeral services are set for Monday, for two Lumby brothers killed in a Labour Day weekend plane crash. Thomas Paul (Pete) Huwer, 53, and Joseph Jack (Joe) Huwer, 45, were killed when the plane they were flying crashed into a field Sunday afternoon near Mabel Lake. Both men were well-known and well-liked in the agricultural community, and around the area, and both left behind a large, close-knit family. “We’re doing as well as can be expected, it’s a tough time for sure,” said brother-in-law Len Foisy, who is married to one of the Huwers’ seven sisters. “We’re struggling through it, but it’s all we can do.” Pete Huwer is survived by his wife of 31 years, Liliane, and three children, all
in the Lumby area. Joe Huwer leaves behind his wife of 11 years, Shona, and four kids. The brothers are also survived by their father, Howard, three brothers and seven sisters. Helping to ease the family pain is the outpouring of support they have received from the community. “It’s a big family so everybody is supporting one another, but, yes, we’ve received Thomas Huwer a lot of support,” said Foisy. “Everybody in the community is supporting them. Everybody knows about it. It’s a small town.” Prayers will be recited for Pete and Joe Sunday, at 5 p.m. at Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church on Middleton Drive in Coldstream. The funeral service will be Monday at Our Lady of the Valley at 1 p.m. Joseph Huwer The investigation into the plane crash is continuing.
Police make arrests in vehicle theft ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Two people have been arrested in connection with an earlymorning car theft on Okanagan Avenue Aug. 29. A 17-year-old boy was driving his gold Mazda 626 on 25th Avenue at 3:15 a.m. when a man flagged down the car in the vicinity of Lincoln Lanes. The man asked the driver if he knew how to get to Okanagan Avenue
and offered him $20 to be taken there. Once they got to Okanagan Avenue, the male suspect pulled a knife and demanded everything the driver had. The driver fled the car, while the suspect took the vehicle, which contained the teen’s wallet and ID. On Aug. 31, two Lumby RCMP officers located the stolen vehicle in the parking lot of
the Twin Creeks Motel in Lumby. A man and woman were arrested in one of the rooms, and both had outstanding warrants. The man, 30, and the woman, 28, both from
Activities are starting to resume at one North Okanagan stud mill. On Monday, Tolko Industries’ Armstrong division will begin operations in the planer mill and log processing, with partial operations in the sawmill. “Assessments will be done on a week-to-week basis,” states a company release. The Vernon-based company announced in mid-August that the mill would be closed because of market conditions. The Soda Creek division in Williams Lake will resume full operation Monday after a similar closure. Approximately 315 employees are affected by these curtailments

duced into the water flow. The other issue is that the softer Duteau Creek water could loosen some mineral deposits that built up in the lines when some areas were on the Antwerp Springs source. That could also impact water quality short-term. Badke is convinced the new treatment plant will ultimately deal with turbidity and colour concerns with the water, but he admits it could take some time. “It wouldn’t surprise me if it takes six weeks
to two months for things to settle down,” he said. Currently, testing continues at the plant on Whitevale Road. “For the past 10 days of the commissioning process, the plant has been running continuously overnight and through the weekends to assess the automatic performance modes,” said Badke. It’s anticipated that there will be a gradual opening of the facility in two or three weeks when the Interior Health Authority gives

Reservoir levels remaining stable RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Any concerns about Greater Vernon running dry have evaporated. Readings taken on Tuesday indicate that there’s about 9,100 megalitres of water in the upland Duteau Creek reservoirs. “That’s the fourth highest in our history (12 years of records) for this time of the year,” said Arnold Badke, the North Okanagan Regional District’s engineering general manager. As a result, the district is confident that there will be sufficient
supply for Greater Vernon residents until next spring. “I felt that if we could be at 8,000 megalitres by the end of the season, we would be in good shape and we will be at about 8,000 by the time it’s all done,” said Badke. This is a dramatic departure from this spring when a lack of snow and decreased reservoir levels led to stage three water restrictions being initiated the earliest ever. That situation evolved as the weather changed part way through the season and
Greater Vernon is currently on year-round stage one restrictions. Under stage one, odd-numbered addresses can water on odd-numbered days and even-numbered addresses can irrigate on even-numbered days. Recent cool weather and rain has led to a steady drop in consumption on the Duteau Creek source. “Last week, there was a 33 per cent decrease in demand,” said Badke. And usage on the Duteau source should decline even further when connections to agricultural customers

Corridor plan proceeds ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A strongly worded letter from Canadian Pacific couldn’t derail Spallumcheen council from amending an official community plan bylaw. CP has expressed extreme disappointment with the township’s bylaw that designates the CP and Canadian National railway right-of-ways in Spallumcheen as transportation corridors. If the right-of-ways are no longer needed for rail purposes, the township can preserve the corridor for future mobility uses such as cycle Will Hansma routes, trails and other uses that complement the primary transportation function. CP’s contract operation, Okanagan Valley Railway, ceased opertions on Aug. 31, 2009, impacting businesses on the CP rail line from Armstrong to Sicamous. Since then, CP has been going through an abandonment process for two sections of the line: Armstrong to Grindrod and Grindrod to Sicamous. Negotiations for a private sale of the rail line were unsuccessful, so the next step was to offer the line to the federal, provincial and local goverments. In a one-page letter to Spall council, CP categorically objected to the proposed bylaw, which was presented at a public hearing Monday, passed and adopted. “CP is a federal undertaking under the exclusive jurisdiction of Parliament,” wrote Dave Courville, CP’s director of real estate west. “It is CP’s position that it is not subject to municipal zoning bylaws.” Spallumcheen Mayor Will Hansma wasn’t surprised by CP’s letter. He believes the rail company feels the value of the rail line would drop if the
right-of-way is turned into a transportation corridor. But Hansma said the move is important for the township. “We’re very aware the type of economic impact not having rail infrastructure would have,” he said. “We feel this is a positive move on our part. We think the value of the corridor as it is today is enhanced by what we’ve done.” Showing support for the amendment at the public hearing was Armstrong-Spallumcheen’s Active Communities, represented by Laurie Williams. “We want the railway to continue to operate, but should it cease, then the right-of-way should be maintained as a transportation corridor,” said Williams.

Chilean mining disaster
C
lose your eyes for a moment. Keep them closed as you imagine yourself in a dark room about the size of a bachelor apartment. Now pretend that dark room is 2,300 feet under the ground. That’s the same as 18 new Vernon Jubilee Hospital towers stacked on top of one another and you’re in the basement of the bottom tower. The only light in this dark room come from glow sticks or light no stronger than a regular flashlight. It’s sweltering hot in this hell hole. There’s no beer fridge. No freezer. But you’re not alone in this room. You are with 32 other co-horts, friends, maybe family members. There’s no shower. And there’s no way Roger Knox out. I’ve done this myself as I try to imagine I’m one of the 33 copper miners trapped underground in Chile, and have been since Aug. 5. I don’t know about you but I am totally fascinated by this story, to the point I’m checking newspapers online everyday for updates. Normally, world news events don’t capture my attention for long periods of time. I’ll read about earthquakes (New Zealand, Haiti), oil spills, the death of a Canadian soldier or a flight attendant going off on some riff-raff passenger. I don’t care if governments are feuding. I’m not interested in anything on or done by Fox News, and I will not read anything that contains the words Hilton, Lohan or Gaga in the headline. But there’s something about these miners... I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s because I have a brother that spent 33 years working at a copper smelter. Maybe it’s the fact that I once met a fascinating couple from Chile who would regale me with stories and delicacies from the motherland. In case you missed it...
AT RANDOM
On Aug. 5, the 33 miners – Los 33 they are calling themselves – somehow survived a cavein at their mine in San Jose, in the northern part of the country. Since then, the word has gotten out through the international media that they survived, that they are living underground, being kept alive by rations provided through a small tube, that they have made contact with loved ones keeping vigil at the mine through video cameras, and now the world is watching with fascination and praying for a happy ending. From what we can ascertain, there is hope of bringing all 33 miners – aged 19 to 63 – to the surface, but it might take as long as another two or three months. Can you imagine? Could you be stuck in a dark, underground room with 32 of your co-workers? The plan is to drill three holes 200 yards from one another to open up an escape hatch for the miners. The Los Angeles Times reports that the first hole is already being dug, the second is to be started Sunday and the third on Sept. 18, which happens to be Chile’s Independence Day. The hope is to have the miners rescued and out of the mine by mid-November. If there’s Thanksgiving in Chile, the entire world would be giving thanks. Thanks to the tube that can send them food, clothes and paper, each miner has undergone a psychological assessment via a questionnaire and an hour-long consultation with a medical team. It’s believed the majority of the miners are in good health, mentally and physically. What officials are worried about is what happens to the miners’ state of mind after they get rescued? One of Los 33 has been chosen to record notes while they’re trapped. A lot will be learned about the miners from his writing. No doubt Hollywood will make a movie of this event, but I, for one, hope somebody takes the miner’s notes and writes a book. I’d love to know what’s going on in that dark underground room. And I want to know what the miners feel when they are, hopefully, free.
There’s still time but it’s starting to look like the Greater Vernon Dragon Boat Festival may not be making any waves at Kal Beach in 2011. The annual event was cancelled for this year partly due to a lack of sponsorship but at the time organizers also expressed some frustration with a lack of co-operation from area bureaucrats and politicians. However, it has to be stated there are also challenges with some of the organizers’ requests for bringing back the fun-filled, active-lifestyle affirming event. Such as free year-round storage for some items and $10,000 to $20,000 in grants to help stage the event. Now before one gets too selfrighteous and proclaims not one dollar of taxpayer money should go to community events like the dragon boat festival, it has happened on numerous occasions. Any substantial event, be it curling championships, hockey tournaments or Hollywood movies, is looking for a break or incentives to set up shop at a locale. That’s how it works. However, that doesn’t mean the local governments have to acquiesce and certainly there appears room for give and take in this particular situation. It’s up to local bureaucrats and politicians to decide if the event is worth investing in and what it brings to the community at large, both financially and as a community booster. That’s what we pay taxes for. We entrust these people to make the right call based on plenty of factors. Apparently GVAC has set a deadline of Nov. 1 for the negotiations with the current organizer to bring back the event. That seems reasonable. Both sides need to get to work.

Making our lakes safer for all
A
fter a number of deaths and close calls on Lake Okanagan, I would like to see the following rules put into force: Boat speed: 1. Boats and personal water craft travelling within 100 metres of the shore line or anything attached to the shore like bridges, bridge underpasses, piers, docks, refueling ares, marinas and marked swimming areas (shore objects) should not exceed a speed of 10 kmph (dead slow, no wake). 2. Boats approaching a stopped, anchored or slow moving boat (like a kayak, canoe, sail, pontoon boat or swimmers within 100 metres should reduce speed to 10 kmph to safely pass the boat or pass the boat by keeping at least 100 metres away. Circling any stopped or moving boats at high speed should be forbidden. 3. General speed limit on the lake should be kept below 50 kmph. Fast boats should be encouraged to keep to the centre of the lake. Unlimited horsepower boats should be restricted to the centre of the lake only. Boats without mufflers should be banned. 4. Anchored boats, drifting boats and boats rafted together should stay 100 metres away from sailing racing buoys, safety buoys or markers, public beaches and bridge underpasses. Boat safety: 1. On all open boats all passengers and crews should be wearing life jackets at all times. Boats with inside cabins DECK STACKED What use is there in fighting the legislative assembly of this province? The HST controversy clearly shows us how badly the deck is stacked against the people trying to right the wrong. Now we know that at least 10 per cent of the electorate is against the HST in all the 85 ridings in B.C. What we don't know is how long it is going to take to recall anybody. The way the rules and laws are today, the only sure thing is death and taxes. Let's not forget for a minute it is the politicians who make the rules and laws to protect themselves. In ideal circumstances with what is happening in B.C., the legislative assembly would dissolve itself and call another election. But we know that is too much to ask from the present bunch we have in Victoria. When we have a near dictator running the province, all we can expect is a snarling denial that anything is out of whack concerning the way we are governed. Eric Holopainen
must require passengers to put on a life jacket when they leave the cabin and move to an outside deck or bridge. 2. All boat launch facilities on lakes in B.C. should have a sign that reminds: a. That all boats must be licensed or registered before launching and have their number correctly displayed on their boat. b. That all boat operators must have their operator's permit with them. c. That all the correct safety gear must be shown to be available on the boat before launch. 3. All boats should be required to refuel before taking on passengers or disembark passengers before refueling.
TRAFFIC SAFETY I am sure anyone who travels Hwy 97 between Armstrong and Enderby especially over the summer tourist months has either witnessed or perhaps narrowly missed being involved in a motor vehicle accident at the site of the Log Barn fruit stand. All you have to do is take a look at the numerous skid marks on the highway and you will know that it has been the scene of several emergency stops to avoid a collision. I am amazed that to date we have not had at least one fatal motor vehicle accident at that location and no doubt this location has been the site of a few rear-end collisions. Recently I was driving behind a travel trailer going south on the highway when the vehicle towing the trailer made a sudden stop obviously to make entry onto the Log Barn grounds. The speed limit of course is 90 kmh but traffic flow speed is more like 100 kmh. Needless to say I had to make an emergency stop myself as there
was no signal light to warn of a turn and only the sudden braking of the vehicle ahead. Now I know of the danger at this location and with that in mind......still had a narrow escape of an accident. I myself have witnessed a few narrow misses...wondering why nothing has been done to rectify this obvious problem. I have seen this business grow over the past few years and have wondered why there are no signs installed to warn motorists of vehicles turning into this site or perhaps even a turnoff lane to alleviate the problem. On mentioning that....first question that comes into mind is this..... #1 Who has responsibility to proceed with such action?...#2 has the RCMP Traffic services documented and reported this traffic hazard as a preventive measure? You can bet that when we do have a fatal accident.....everyone will get on board....including local politicians wanting to know who did not carry the ball and why action is only taken after the fact. I guess the Ministry of Highways,
No smoking before or during refueling or after until all fumes are evaporated. Enforcement: a. Transport Canada and RCMP officers should inspect boats at the boat launches before they are launched. This should be done at the start of the summer season for at least a 72-hour period. Inspections should be done also at the two summer holiday weekends. Perhaps Auxiliary Coast Guard and Power Squadron members should be called on to assist. Para gliding: a. Para gliding towed behind a boat should be restricted to the wider parts of the lake. The length of the tow should be limited to keep the height down. At times it would appear that the parachute was higher than approaching aircraft to the Vernon Airport. I would recommend that no para gliding take place in the approach to the Vernon Airport. Also, a lookout is required at all times to be looking forward and one looking aft. The length of line out should not exceed the available turning area on the lake to maintain the 100 meters distance from shore and shore objects. Long lines allowed to settle into the lake are a hazard to other boats. All boats towing any object like an inner tube, flotation device or water skis must keep lines and boats under control and not become a hazard to other boaters. Boaters must not attempt to pass between the boat and the object towed. Bruce Tonner
RCMP and local government still have not learned their lesson after the horrific fatal accidents we have had in this area over the last while..... many of them due to poorly marked intersections.... perhaps deserving of a traffic control device. Now in this case I would like to think that the owners of the Log Barn Fruit Stand are fully aware of this traffic hazard and perhaps in good faith have brought this matter to the attention of those mentioned. Consider this a wake-up call to everyone concerned and especially those that can make a difference and be proactive as opposed to reactive. Perhaps we can convince the construction crews working on Hwy 97 just down the road to take on this challenge and do something before and not after. Now this is an open invitation to officials aforementioned to win some points with we motorists and yes taxpayers! Now every time I gas up....I ponder..... where is all this tax money going! Need I say anything more! Len Eddy

Cops cycle for children Morning Star Staff
Ten years of helping children in crisis. Cops For Kids kicks off its 2010 southern Interior cycling tour today in Kelowna with 25 riders and six support crew. Vernon RCMP Supt. Reg Burgess is among the support crew for the week-long ride. The Cops for Kids Charitable Foundation raises funds year round to help support children who must endure mental, physical and emotional crisis, in the southern Interior. Over the past 10 years Cops for Kids has raised more than $1.2 million in support of these children. RCMP detachments throughout the Interior work together with riders to help children in each community. Reg Burgess “Our signature event is the annual Cops for Kids ride each September which symbolizes the journey these children must take from illness to wellness, and gives riders and crew the opportunity to personally thank the many in each community who have selflessly supported the cause,” Const. Steve Holmes, Kelowna RCMP spokesman Vernon members Cpl. Mark Taylor and Const. Greg Levorson are past riders on the tour, but are not going on the venture in 2010. However, both officers have been instrumental in fundraising for this year’s tour. The crew is expected to ride through Vernon either Sept. 17 or Sept. 18. The 10-day trek takes riders to over 19 communities in the Okanagan and Kootenay Region. This is a labour of love for the dedicated riders who participate,” said Holmes. “They endure many grueling kilometres and suffer many aches and pains, all to raise much needed awareness and funds to support the children they serve. Riders are challenged to raise $2,000 from their own communities and many riders average much more than that. During the ride local business and service clubs have offered up services, free of charge, to cover food and accommodation. “It is with the undying generosity of our communities, our businesses and service clubs that all of this is possible,” said Holmes. The Cops for Kids fundraising efforts do not stop when the ride ends, but continues with a variety of events throughout the South East district all year long. You can follow the ride, or get information about Cops For Kids by visiting www.copsforkids. org.

Middleton trail project launches Morning Star Staff
Trail development is taking place in a Coldstream neighbourhood. The Ribbons of Green Trail Society is launching a trail construction project on Middleton Mountain Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. “Several sections of the Middleton Mountain Circle Trail are already completed and the piece of trail to be constructed will connect the east end of Creed Loop with Middleton Way,” said Dave Smith, society president.
The society is encouraging volunteers to assist with the construction of the piece of trail that runs up the lower south side of the mountain, from the east end of Creed Loop up to Middleton Way, just below the new Middleton Mountain Park. The trail length is approximately 500 metres with a steady pitch.” Similar to a work bee, this event will allow residents to become involved and contribute to their community. Meet at the Kal Beach parking lot.
“Volunteers are encouraged to bring shovels, picks, or hoes and wear solid boots,” said Ingrid Neumann, with the Middleton Mountain Neighbourhood Group. “The trail will be laid out in detail and is fully approved to start construction.” Volunteers will dig a rustic trail, approximately one-metre-wide. When completed, the Middleton Mountain Circle Trail will begin at the Kal Beach parking lot and follow east above the railway track along
the Kal Beach connector trail, Creed Loop, climb up to Middleton Way and pass through the newly completed Middleton Mountain Park, ascend the water reservoir road and work its way to the summit. From the summit the trail will descend the west side of the mountain on the currently constructed stairs and trail that cross Mt. Ida Drive and continue into McKergow Meadows. The trail will eventually resume across Middleton Way and connect with Husband

Lumby seeks input on business plan RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Lumby residents will have another chance to speak about a proposed correctional facility and ways of bolstering the local economy. As part of the quarterly sewer/water bill, the village will send out a newsletter soliciting input on ways to create jobs. “We’re asking people to present their ideas and their vision for the community,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. At a recent public meeting, many residents indicated that other economic development opportunities should be sought instead of a prison. “Obviously they have to be self-sufficient because we don’t have the money. Show us a business plan,” said Acton of proposals that may come forward. Once the input is received, a forum on economic development will be held Oct. 20. The concept of a prison was first put
“There’s definitely a group on the other side of the fence.” — Kevin Acton before the public in May as council was considering ways to improve the economy. It’s been suggested that there could be about 70 jobs at a facility that houses 200 inmates being remanded for custody or serving sentences of two years less a day. A possible location for the facility is in the industrial park. According to Acton, he’s still hearing some opposition to a prison. “There’s definitely a group on the other side of the fence,” he said, adding, though, that others are remaining open-minded. “I get a lot of people saying they don’t necessarily want it but they want to find out what it means for the

Motorists kept local RCMP members busy over the Labour Day weekend. Members of both the North Okanagan Traffic Services and Integrated Road Service Units were out in force. In total, both units wrote 119 tickets to motorists and issued 14 warnings. IRSU members were assisting RCMP out near the Interior Provincial Exhibition in Armstrong. They wrote 19 tickets which included 12 seatbelt infractions. They also conducted one roadside test on a suspected impaired driver, seized liquor from one vehicle and wrote two warnings. NOTS members worked Sept. 3-6 in and around the North Okanagan. They issued 85 charges including eight for excessive speeding and six for seatbelt infractions.

Enderby sets sights on yards
TimLimi e O ted ffe r!!
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Enderby is getting tough on residents who don’t look after their yards. The city will send letters to two property owners about unsightly premises. If they aren’t cleaned up, city crews will go in and do the job. “All costs and a 15 per cent administration fee would be billed to the owner,” said Mayor Dee Wejr. “If they don’t pay, it will be added to their property taxes.” Dee Wejr One of the properties has been covered in numerous old vehicles, building materials and garbage. At another property, debris overlapped on to the rail right-of-way at one point. The city initiated its unsightly premises bylaw after receiving complaints from the public and no substantial action being taken by the property owners. “We don’t usually do something unless people complain,” said Wejr. “We don’t have a bylaw enforcement officer that just goes around looking for these Earl Shipmaker things.” Complaints have surfaced about other properties but the owners in those cases have taken action to clean up the mess. Wejr believes it’s important for the bylaw to be enforced because unsightly premises have a negative impact on neighbouring properties and Enderby. “It reflects on our community and it’s not comfortable for people living next to these yards,” she said. Coun. Earl Shipmaker says council had no choice but to take action. “We’ve been pretty tolerant. There’s lots of derelict vehicles and garbage on them,” he said. “It’s getting to the point where the neighbours were totally frustrated.”

Suicide prevention day marked globally Morning Star Staff
Would you know if someone close to you was contemplating suicide? Knowing the signs could help you save the life of someone you love. Today is World Suicide Prevention Day and events will take place across Canada and around the world to promote suicide awareness and prevention. This year, the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention has chosen the theme — “What do you know? What do you need to know? What you know could save a life.� Each year in Canada, suicide claims the lives of about 4,000 Canadians. In 2008, almost 500 deaths in B.C. were attributed to suicide. The impacts of suicide are widespread, affecting millions of Canadians, including family, friends and community members who lose someone close to them. “Recognizing the signs and looking at community approaches to prevention are key to helping people at risk,� says Jenny Turco, population health facilitator with the Interior Health Authority. Suicidal thoughts and attempts are much more common than suicide deaths. For every one suicide, there are an estimated 20 suicide attempts. “It’s important that communities address the issue openly so people at risk feel comfortable speaking up and seeking help from someone they trust and/or from a health care professional,� adds Turco. How can suicide be prevented?
There is no one easy answer, but knowing the warning signs can help you assist someone at risk. Warning signs of suicide: s 4HREATENS TO ATTEMPT SUICIDE s 4ALKS ABOUT WANTING TO DIE s (AS MADE SUICIDE ATTEMPTS IN the past s3UDDEN CHANGES IN BEHAVIOUR appearance or mood s )NCREASED USE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS s $ELIBERATELY INJURES THEMSELVES s !PPEARS DEPRESSED SAD WITHdrawn s 'IVES AWAY PERSONAL POSSESSIONS How you can help: s 3TAY CALM AND LISTEN s ,ET THE PERSON TALK ABOUT THEIR feelings s "E ACCEPTING DO NOT JUDGE s !SK IF THE PERSON IS THINKING about suicide s 4AKE ALL THREATS OF SUICIDE SERIously s $O NOT PROMISE SECRECY ˆ TELL someone s #ONNECT THE PERSON WITH PROFESsional help. ,EARNING ABOUT THE RESOURCES AVAILable can also assist in the prevention, intervention and treatment of suicidal behaviour. Help is available for those who are feeling suicidal through crisis lines such as 1-800 SUICIDE, local Mental Health and Addictions Services, family physicians and hospitals. Many communities also offer suicide survivor support groups. Websites such as http://www.crisiscentre.bc.ca or http://youthinbc.com/ are also available.

Aldon seeks Shuswap recycling MARTHA WICKETT Black Press
A Lumby company could soon be picking up curbside recyclables in Salmon Arm. The city’s development and planning committee has given initial approval to a staff recommendation to enter into a contract with Aldon Waste Systems for garbage and recycling pickup. “It’s been a long time coming,” said Coun. Chad Eliason, who has been a strong proponent of curbside recycling. He said for about $2 a week, people will get weekly garbage pickup and, every second week, unlimited recycling picked up at the door and provided by a local contractor with a good service record. Aldon currently provides collection services in Salmon Arm, Sicamous and the North Okanagan Regional District. The staff report on the curbside solid waste and recycling program will now head to city council’s next meeting, Sept. 13, for consideration. City engineer Rob Niewenhuizen said Aldon had proposed purchasing new natural gas vehicles to use to provide the service. He noted that Terasen is going to capture gases at the landfill, with an opportunity to provide a natural gas fueling station there. Asked about a proposed date for curbside collection to begin, Niewenhuizen said the city would like to implement it Jan. 1. The City of Salmon Arm received seven proposals in all: five submissions to provide combined services and two submissions for reload, long haul and processing of recyclables.
ArtWalk receives federal funding Federal funding of $7,500 will support the 17th annual Lake Country ArtWalk. ArtWalk, which takes place Saturday and Sunday, will give local audiences opportunities to attend dance, music and theatrical performances by Canadian artists. The festival also features artwork displays. “Events like this play an important role in engaging Canadians through performing and visual arts and in the expression and celebration of local heritage,” said Ron Cannan, Kelowna-Lake Country MP. “Thank you to all the volunteers. Without them, events such as this would not be the artistic success that it is.” The Lake Country ArtWalk planning committee is a local non-profit organization dedicated to increasing opportunities for local artists and artisans to engage with their communities. “This is a commu-
nity event put on by volunteers, so the funds from this grant provide important support for this arts festival,” said Sharon McCoubrey, Art Walk chairperson. ArtWalk runs Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Lake Country Community Complex, 10241 Bottom Wood Lake Rd. in Winfield. Admission is $2, with proceeds going to arts in the community.

RBC champs head Interior poll Black Press Sports
They don't rebuild, they reload. And while the Vernon Vipers are a younger and less experienced bunch than last year, don't count them out from winning a record third straight Royal Bank Cup championship. Of course, there are 141 other teams in the Canadian Junior A Hockey League also chasing a national title as league play opens tonight in 10 leagues. One has to assume the Waywayseecappo Wolverines of Manitoba and the Toronto Dixie Beehives are among the many teams tired of watching the Vipers hoist the RBC in mid-May. Black Press writers have assembled the annual B.C. Hockey League Interior Conference preview, in this, the 50th anniversary of the circuit. The Williams Lake Timberwolves are gone and there are new coaches in Salmon Arm and Quesnel. Here's how the order of finish should look like come Feb. 20: 1. VERNON VIPERS KEY RETURNEES: F Dylan Walchuk (1928-47), Bryce Kakoske (13-28-41), Dave Robinson (15-10-25), D Adam Thompson (5-20-25), D Stevie Weinstein (4-18-22), G Blake Voth (1.79 GAA, 92.90 save percentage). ROOKIE SENSATIONS: Power forward Aaron Hadley scored at a point-a-game clip, and added 94 penalty minutes, as a 16-yearold with the KIJHL Beaver Valley Nitehawks. F Trevor Fitzgerald surpassed all expectations last season, leading the expansion North Okanagan Knights with 67 points in 49 games. The Vernon product also practised with the Snakes and played in the Royal Bank Cup championships. F Marcus Basara (37-28-65) led the Notre Dame Hounds to their second straight Telus Cup title. STRENGTHS: With seven returnees from their RBC Cup national championship squad, the Snakes have a leadership core that knows what it takes to win. Combine that with some of the best prospects to be found in North America, and the expert tutelage of coaches Mark Ferner and Jason Williamson, and Vernon will once again be a contender. COACH’S QUOTE: Ferner: “We made the commitment that we would be young this year. We want to groom these guys the way we want them to be groomed. Our older guys need to show the way and our younger guys need to bring that enthusiasm.”
CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
The Vernon Vipers will need solid leadership from veterans like Bryce Kakoske (left) and Stevie Weinstein if they hope to defend their B.C. Hockey League crown this season. 2. PENTICTON VEES KEY RETURNEES: F Joey Holka (28-2351), F Logan Johnston (14-17-31), D Joey Laleggia (13-52-65), F Garrett Milan (30-3060), F Stefan Nicholishen (2-5-7), D Derik Johnson (1-13-14), G Joel Rumpel (19-3-0, two shutouts, .920 save percentage). ROOKIE SENSATIONS: As a junior with St. Francis in 2009, Joey Benik set a Minnesota state high school record with 63 goals (previously 62). Including the playoffs, he scored 65 goals and 102 points that season. F James Polk scored 27 goals and 48 points in 55 prep games with Shattuck-St. Mary’s high school last season. Polk’s teammate, F Bradley Robbins scored 21 goals and 54 points in 55 games. D Troy Stecher, can handle the puck and tallied four goals and 31 points with the Greater Vancouver Canadians in the B.C. Major Midget League last season. STRENGTHS: There is a focus on building an identity during the month of September. As that happens, coach/GM Fred Harbinson expects the Vees to be a hard-working club that will be difficult to play against.
COACH'S QUOTE: Harbinson: “We want to be skilled but still be blue-collar. No one can hang the tag on us of being just a freewheeling team.” 3. TRAIL SMOKE EATERS KEY RETURNEES: F Scott Jacklin (24-4569), F Travis St. Denis (20-26-46) F Sam Mellor (28-35-63), F Paul Mailey (10-23-33) D Steve Koshey (7-29-36) D Eric Walker (4-7-11) G Kiefer Smiley (12-21 4.18 GAA). ROOKIE SENSATIONS: F Joey Baker was a force with the Junior B Beaver Valley Nitehawks early last season as a 16-yearold before illness limited his playing time. “He’s come to camp in tremendous shape and skating very well. I’m super happy with him,” said Trail coach Jim Ingram. F Keanan Patershuk performed well as a 16-year-old during his brief stints with Trail as an affiliate player from the KIJHL’s Fernie Ghostriders last year. The Kelowna native has impressed the Smokies staff with his tenacious work ethic in camp. “He’s hard to play against, a big thick kid that hits hard,” said Ingram.
STRENGTHS: The Smokies are going with a veteran lineup this year including a corps of blueliners who have had a couple of BCHL seasons together as a unit. Ingram added to the team’s overall speed, scoring and experience with key off-season 20-yearold additions Logan Proulx, a Trail native who played three seasons with the WHL’s Edmonton Oil Kings, Cullen Bradshaw, the leading scorer from the AJHL’s Brooks Bandits, and Brett Slobodzian, who led the AJHL’s Lloydminster Bobcats in scoring. COACH'S QUOTE: Ingram: “We are expecting big things. I think we’re in a different situation this year with our veterans and we can expect more because we can draw from experience. However, you can have something that looks very good on paper but it’s what goes on in the room and how much they care for each other that counts for a lot.” 4. WESTSIDE WARRIORS KEY RETURNEES: F Alex Grieve (26-2450), F Kyle Singleton (25-19-44), F Grayson Downing (18-18), D Peter McIntosh (0-4-4) and G Cam Gorchynski (4-4, 2.90 GAA). ROOKIE SENSATIONS: Brayden Sherbinin and Michael King are a pair of 17-year-old defencemen who coach Darren Yopyk expects to make an immediate impact on the Warriors' blue line. Sherbinin, a Kelowna native who played last season with the Nelson Leafs, is a dynamic skater who has an offensive bent to his game. The 6-foot-5 King, who played Major Midget in Prince George, brings both size and a cerebral approach to the position. Up front, Travis Blanleil, 16, Brett McKinnon, 18, and Shawn Hochhausen, 18, will supply rookie depth. In goal, Kevin Boyle joins the Warriors from Junior A in New Jersey. STRENGTHS: With the acquisitions of Junior A veterans Tom Kroshus (Camrose Kodiaks) and Matt Cronin (Drumheller Dragons), and rookies Sherbinin and King, Westside's defensive corps could be among the best in the league. At forward, the Warriors lost their top two scorers in Trevor Bailey and Cam Reid, but should have three solid lines to provide ample offence. The most dangerous unit should feature newly-anointed captain Grieve, Singleton and Quinn Gould, all 20-year-olds.

Stead secures second City crown Morning Star Staff
Brady Stead carded a 2-overpar 58 Tuesday to claim his second straight Hillview Golf City Junior Golf Championship. The Grade 12 VSS student and Vernon Golf & Country Club member, who shot a 59 last year in the 19th annual tournament, edged John Garvie (Hillview club champ), Brad Jones and Shaye Crncic by two strokes. There was a field of 54. Stead, whose favourite pro golfer is Camilo Villegas of Colombia, took home a trophy and a PlayStation PSP. Garvie, 13, defeated defending club champion Crncic in a one-hole playoff, earning a Nintendo Wii. Amy Edwards shot an 81 to win the
girls championship and a digital camera. In the first city flight (ages 14-17), it was Randy Todosychuk firing a 61 to finish second behind Jones and Crncic. Michael Lenoury fashioned a 67 to win the second city flight (ages 12-13) with Nicholas Friesen taking the Hillview club crown at 68, one stroke better than Austin Bosquet. In the third flight (11 and under), it was Parker Wadsworth producing the city title with a 76 and Colton (Boom Boom) Schaper-Kotter earning the club title with a 78. Seth Blundell was the club runnerup at 79. In the nine-hole competition, Carter Bosquet won the club trophy with a 37 and Reid Botwood shot 42 to take the city
hardware. Each player received a hat, balls and tees, along with lunch and refreshments as part of their entry fee. "Thank you to our dedicated volunteers, Betty Murray and Judy Wakefield," said tourney director Jon Atmore. "Hillview would like to give special thanks to CocaCola, Cyril Foster, Lorraine Baryla, and Scott Finlayson for their generous donations to the 2010 Junior Championship." Chris Baryla, who has earned more than $300,000 on the PGA and Nationwide Tours, lost the Hillview city tournament in a playoff in 1998 but won his flight. He earlier won the 10 and under flight as an eight- and nine-year-old and topped the 11-12 group as a 12-year-old.
Wings pluck MacDonald in draft GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Brodie MacDonald never needed a passport until Wednesday. Having never ventured from Canadian soil in his life, it just wasn’t necessary. That all changed when the Philadelphia Wings called his name with their first pick at the 2010 National Lacrosse League Entry Draft in Toronto. MacDonald The Wings selected the 6-foot7, 260-pound netminder in the second round (19th overall). “It was pretty cool. I was expecting to go, but not that early,” said MacDonald, who has been in Vernon ever since he helped the Coquitlam Adanacs claim a Minto Cup National Junior A Lacrosse Championship last month. “I spoke with them (Wings) a few days ago, so I figured they would take me, and to be taken with their first pick is great.” Syracuse University’s Cody Jamieson was taken first overall by the Rochester Nighthawks. MacDonald, who turns 21 on Saturday, will head to Philly in November for training camp.
The Wings open the regular season by hosting the Boston Blazers, Saturday, Jan. 8. Meanwhile, Brodie will continue training in Vernon, and looking for temporary work. The grandson of the late Don MacDonald, a well-known boxing coach in Vernon, Brodie uses cross-training to increase his agility, a valuable quality for someone his size. “Lots of running and skipping, and boxing for my hand speed,” he said. “I boxed with my grandpa for a long time. We’ve got all the equipment and I know what I’m doing.” The timing could be ideal for MacDonald to be joining the Wings, as both their current keepers – Rob Blasdell, 40, and Brandon Miller, 31 – are getting on in age. But the towering Vernon tender knows he will have to earn his time in the city of brotherly love. He also knows there will be an adjustment to protecting a net three inches wider against pro lacrosse snipers. “I’ve played against a couple guys who played in the NLL. One of our coaches used to play in the NLL and he used to rip shots on me all the time,” said MacDonald. The Wings finished second-to-last in the 11-team league last season at 5-11.

‘Backs built on back end Continued from A24 COACH'S QUOTE: Yopyk: “Our defensive corps is exceptional, and we look like we have pretty good depth up front. We're going to have to be a physical group that works extremely hard to be successful. I think we'll be able to move the puck well and we'll combine that with some pretty good team speed. Now that I've had a full season in the league, I'll have a better idea of what to expect." 5. SALMON ARM SILVERBACKS KEY RETURNEES: F Dave Killip (32-42-74), F Matt Cassidy (10-10-20), D Charlie Vasaturo (7-1926), D Jayson Reardon (1-9-10), F Brett Knowles (6-10-16). ROOKIE SENSATIONS: The SilverBacks plucked the top three scorers from the Prince Albert Mintos Midget AAA program – Taylor Fauchoux, Bryce Gervais and Cody Michelle. The trio combined for 193 points in 129 games. F Morgan Zulinick led the Thompson Blazers (Major Midget) in scoring with a point-per-game production. He is already committed to the NCAA Wisconsin Badgers. STRENGTHS: The ‘Backs have retained most of their 14 eligible returning players, and until Mark Zengerle’s heir apparent reveals himself on the scoreboard, Salmon Arm can rely on a rocksolid top-four defensive corps, which includes the return of WHL veteran Clinton Atkinson (Moose Jaw Warriors). Picked up in the offseason from the Camrose Kodiaks, Kris Moore is primed to take over starting netminder duties. COACH’S QUOTE: head coach Tim Kehler: “We’re going to be a team that’s hard to play against, that can beat you with three or four lines with our scoring ability. Defensively, we’re going to be big and mean. We certainly want to be amongst the elite teams in the Interior and I think we can get there.” 6. QUESNEL MILLIONAIRES KEY RETURNEES: F Justin Hogan (15-2944), F Tyler French (1517-32), D Skyler Smutek (7-27-34), D Sam Higgins (7-28-35), D Anderson White (0-3-3). R O O K I E SENSATIONS: F Chris Albee had eight goals and 20 points in 28 games as captain of the Major Midget Cariboo Cougars, Malcolm Gould had 24 goals and 42 points in 37 games for the Squamish Wolfpack of the Pacific Coast Junior Hockey League. The biggest surprise for the coaches has been the play of Quin Buckellew an 18-year-old from Moorhead, Minn., who invited himself to camp and has played a solid all-round game. STRENGTHS: Young forwards with huge upside potential, along with several key acquisitions during the off season, including forwards Rigby Burgart who was with the Calgary Hitmen of the WHL last season, and Sterling Bear who collected 15 goals and 38 points in 37 games last year with the Miramachi Timberwolves in the MJAHL. Both are expected to provide the Mills with some grit up front, and Bear has great touch around the net. The acquisition of G Charlie Corsi from Dartmouth (ECAC), along with Kirby Halcrow, should give the Mills the best goaltending tandem in the league. The Mills have improved on both sides of the puck and have experience to boot. COACH’S QUOTE: Millionaires’ assistant coach Brian Kozak. “We’re better off than last year right through the lineup. The vets are carrying last year’s experience over to this year. It will come down to pride in wearing the crest and commitment to win
as a team.” 7. PRINCE GEORGE SPRUCE KINGS KEY RETURNEES: D Justin Fillion (6-40-46), F Nick DeSousa, F RJay Berra (16-20-36) and F Jeff Earnest (12-14-26). ROOKIE SENSATIONS: F Chris Bodo joins the Spruce Kings from the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League's Strathroy Rockets, and he's already secured a NCAA Division 1 scholarship to Mercyhurst College for the 2011-12 campaign. Playing on the right side, Bodo was the Rockets' regular-season and playoff scoring champion last season (49-48-97 in 50 games). Also joining the Spruce Kings for a year with an NCAA Division 1 commitment is G Ryan Benitez, who's heading to Princeton University in 2011. Benitez suited up for the New York Apple Core Junior Program in 200910. The team is also hoping a couple of forwards from the KIJHL's Grizzlies, Riley Spraggs (Vernon) and Faiz Khan (California), can provide similar offensive production in the BCHL as they did at the junior B level in helping Revelstoke win the Western Canadian title. STRENGTHS: Bodo has already showed, albeit during exhibition action, how explosive he can be offensively. He scored a hat trick in the team's final pre-season game, a 4-2 triumph over the North American Hockey League's Dawson Creek Rage. With more experience from Berra, DeSousa and Earnest, and more forward depth in the mix, the Spruce Kings have the tools to score more frequently this season. The team's staff is confident Benitez gives them the stability in goal. COACH’S QUOTE: Mike Hawes (assistant GM/ director of player personnel): "What I like about our team right now is the depth we have up front, I think that's going to be an integral part of our team this year is the amount of forwards that we have up front that have some outstanding offensive ability and they're going to be able to carry us a long way this season. 8. MERRITT CENTENNIALS KEY RETURNEES: F Dustin Johnson (35-32-67), F Jeff Jones (27-25-52), D Steve Tresierra (7-20-27), D Jeff Zmurchyk (5-16-21). In total, the Cents should have nine returning players from a 2009-10 squad that showed flashes of brilliance last season. ROOKIE SENSATIONS: Seventeen-year-old Jakob Reichert (6-foot-3, 230 pounds) from the KIJHL-champion Revelstoke Grizzlies heads up a stellar group of first-year players. The likes of Max Vallis from Santa Clara, Calif., Evan Stack (Princeton Posse KIJHL), and Regan Soquila (North East Chiefs Major Midget) have a ton of speed up front and a knack for finding the net, while Brandon Pfeil (Grandview Steelers PCJHL) and 16-year-old sensation Reese Wilcox (Surrey) look right at home on the blueline. STRENGTHS: Head Coach and GM Luke Pierce begins his first full season behind the bench. Joining him will be former five-year BCHL defenceman Chad DeLeeuw. In Johnson and Jones, the Cents have their top two scorers from last season returning, along with all-star d-man and newly-appointed captain Tresierra, and workhorse Zmurchyk. Off-season acquisition Jared Anderson ('90) from the Grande Prairie Storm of the AJHL gives them veteran experience in net. COACH'S QUOTE: Pierce: "I’m really happy with our age mix. We have a good youthful group, but with some veteran composure. I like our defence, our size, and our speed. We also have a number of players who are prepared to play certain roles on the team, and that is important.”

The North Okanagan Knights signed three new forwards and returning goalie Chris Solecki as they prepare to open the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League season tonight at NorVal Sports Centre in Armstrong. Solecki, a Burns Lake product who was battling Surrey product Kirk Thompson for the backup position with the BCHL Prince George Spruce Kings, joins fellow veteran Christian Karl of Lake Country in the Knights' net detective service. The re-vamped Knights, who won just 11 games last year as an expansion team, take on the Sicamous Eagles tonight. The Knights host the Fernie Ghostriders Saturday night and then visit the Kamloops Storm in a Sunday matinee.

A Vernon United U13/14 combination team went 1-2-1 at the 12th annual Langley Labour Day Michael J. Smith Memorial Soccer Tournament. Under the watchful guidance of coaches Erick Burnet, Mike Melbourne and Stephen Viszlai, the locals held two practices before opening the tournament Saturday morning with a 3-3 draw against the West Kelowna Soccer Express. With some hard work from Noa Acri, Vernon was rewarded with the first goal. Less than three minutes later, West Kelowna created a breakaway pass and converted. That was followed by a Kurt Seiler 40-yard strike into the top shelf before the half. West Kelowna came out with renewed spirit in the second half and worked hard for 20 minutes and scored twice. Building on the wave of their fan support, United’s Evan Viszlai controlled and sunk a corner for the equalizer. United then got stellar goalkeeping from Cole Shoemaker in a 3-0 win over the Richmond City Blues. Playing up a division, it was the youngest United players who sparked the offence, while the defence supported them by constantly thwarting any Richmond attacks. Lucas Ross struck from midfield into the bottom corner. Goal No. 2 was a Brandon Melbourne beauty as he converted a power throw-in from Matthew Kreutz. Nathan Gatenby completed the scoring as he handled a Ross breakaway pass and had the goalie going in the opposite direction of the strike.

Soo signs with North Okanagan Continued from A26 Joining Solecki in camp Thursday were 19-yearold Rick Soo, 16-year-old forwards T.J. Dumanceaux of Kelowna and Trent Dreger of Lake Country. Soo, a Tokyo product, scored six goals in 34 games with the BCHL Salmon Arm SilverBacks last year. Dumanceaux scored twice as the Kelowna Chiefs shut out Sicamous 4-0 Tuesday night in preseason play. Brodie Clark and Taylor Greatrex are the lone returnees on defence. Clark collected 7-17-24 and 68 penalty minutes last season, while Greatex managed three points and 36 PIM. Sean Mulcahy, one of three Kelowna products making the team on the blue line, got in five games as an affiliate last season. Brendan Jost, 16, and Lucas Ferguson are the other Kelowna d-men. Michael Keyes (Vernon), Colin Legros (Terrace) and Woody Kapp (Alberta) round out the healthy d-men. Vernon's Lynden Enger, who has 68 PIM in 21 games last year before blowing a knee, is scheduled to return in two months. "We're very steady with a lot of depth," said Leone. "We'll have to work them generating offence from the back, but they've shown puck movement. We're very happy with our back end." Up front, the Knights welcome back their second through fifth leading pointgetters in Colin Minardi (Summerland 16-26-42), Shawn Holliday (Armstrong 9-24-33 and 133 PIM), Karson Holt (Lake Country 12-15-27) and 20-year-old captain Laine Keyes (Vernon 13-12-25). Andrew Nicholls (Brandon) is back after a tryout in Manitoba Junior A (3-5-8 last year), while Quinn Gallacher has re-joined the team after pocketing 7-6-13 in 24 games last year. Vernon's Mac Leroux returns after scoring once in seven games as an AP. Brothers Eric and Patrick Chor, and Steven Pantazopolous, all of Kelowna, Tyler Reay of Salmon Arm and Dylan Wilson of East Vancouver
round out the front line as rookies. "We're going to need great special teams. We're not going to have four 30-goal scorers. We'll be well rounded. All four lines will be able to pitch in and play. The difference between one (top forward) and 12 won't be as big as with some teams." ICE CHIPS: Vernon F Tanner Burns has landed with the Nelson Leafs of the KIJHL after being released by the Trail Smoke Eaters. Burns was fourth in Okanagan Rockets points last year with 14-19-33...The Chase Chiefs are now the Kelowna Chiefs and will play out of Rutland, while Osoyoos is back in the loop, this time as the Coyotes...

Sports Local pros recapture Ryder Morning Star Staff
Vernon North arrived at the Ryder Cup Tuesday at Black Mountain in a 12-seat limo. They also showed some style on the golf course in defeating Kelowna 11 1/2 to 6 1/2 to take a 5-3 lead in the annual series sponsored by Monashee's Bar and Grill and The Kal Hotel Sports Bar. Vernon dominated early and never looked back, taking a 4-2 lead in the morning best ball matches. Mark Aven and Justin Ballergon (Vernon Golf & CC ) beat Russ Latimer and Jon Kadin (Gallagher's Canyon) 4&2 in a battle of four of the Okanagan's match play specialists. In match two, Kelowna tied things up when the dynamic duo of John Ferrier (Doc's Golf) and John Jacoby (Shannon Lake) bested Shannon Glenesk (Vernon Golf & CC) and Kevin Maxwell (Salmon Arm) 2&1. In the third match, Scott Allan (Predator Ridge) and Adam Blair (Salmon Arm) played steady golf to take out the host pros Brice McDermott and Jeff Kelly 2&1. In the fourth match, a hot start and deadly iron play led to Jesse Crowe (Canoe Creek) and Al Pisch (Spallumcheen) dusting off Mark Lindsay and Tyler McGhee (Okanagan Golf Club) 6&5. The final two morning matches between Mike Lowen and Paul Wammer (Predator Ridge) vs Chad Scott and Matt Greenway (Harvest) and Myles
Langley storm United Continued from A27 Pre-tourney favoured Langley shut down United 4-0 Sunday, with a 6-foot-3 keeper neutralizing scoring attempts. Vernon closed the tournament by falling 4-2 to the Peach Arch Rangers of White Rock under rainy conditions. The Rangers had the first strike five minutes into the match but two minutes later, Ross deked out two Rangers, and from 25 yards out, sent a rocket to the top right corner. Just 10 minutes later, Vernon players were slipping everywhere and a sure-footed Ranger stormed in for a bottom corner second goal. Langley stormed out of the second half and increased their lead to two goals. Then ten minutes later, Ross blasted another shot, this time into the bottom left corner to pull Vernon within a goal.
Johnson (Spallumcheen) and Brooks Jones (Predator Ridge) vs Rob Anderson (Kelowna G & CC) and Rich Chlopan (Kelowna Springs) were halved to give Vernon North a 4-2 lead at the lunch break. “I told the boys that this year, with breakfast and beverages provided for them in a limo, I was going with the pampering approach,” said Vernon captain Crowe, a Kal Laker golf team grad. "If we didn’t win this year, I was going to rent seat-less bicycles and make them ride out to Canoe Creek.” In the afternoon singles, Pisch and Anderson halved their contest in a yo-yo match with 11 birdies. Chlopan slid by Jones 2&1, while Ferrier made every putt he looked at to take out Aven 3&2 to even the point totals with nine matches to go. In match three, Maxwell stopped Greenway 4&3, Ballergon beat Latimer 3&2 and Glenesk and Kadin halved for the third straight year. Allan beat Kelowna captain Lindsay 2&1, while Wammer fell to PGA tour pro Dustin Johnston's former college teammate McGhee. Crowe brushed back Scott 2&1, while Johnson secured the Cup for Vernon with a 2&1 victory over Kelly. In the final two matches, Blair took out Jacoby 4&3 and Lowen and McDermott halved their match.

Lumby-raised artist is making her mark in the Japanese style of animation KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Every summer, the world’s biggest comic book convention welcomes everyone from sci-fi geeks wearing Green Lantern masks to filmmakers of superhero proportions to the city of San Diego. Anyone who has been to Comic-Con knows that comics and graphic novels, and the pile of films based on them, is big –– make that huge –– business. Camilla d’Errico has read her fair share of comic books, and the 29-year-old Lumby native has travelled extensively to comic book conventions throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia as a respected illustrator. The first comic book she ever picked up was The Darkness by Joe Benitez. “I loved it! The story centered around a villain, and he was powerful and cool, it wasn’t like anything I’d read before and I fell in love. I absolutely wanted to be a comic artist after that,� said d’Errico. Her dream has come true in more ways than one. Influenced by the Japanese-animated style of anime and manga –– she loved watching cartoons such as Sailor Moon as a child –– d’Errico has drawn up a series of graphic novels. Her big break came in 2007 when she co-created Avril Lavigne’s Make 5 Wishes, a two-part graphic novel. “The art form, when you get into it, is truly that –– an art form. It is not a cartoon,� she explained. “The Japanese regard their manga as more than kids’ stories and that’s what I love about it. The books are for adults, they tell real stories, convey real emotion and hook you like a good movie or soap opera. There is no other art form that conveys emotion so strongly and genuinely.� D’Errico’s start in the art world came after she received her first-year bachelor of arts, studying animation at the Kelowna campus of Okanagan University College. She furthered her studies in Vancouver, where she pursued a degree in illustration and design at Capilano College and also worked parttime in an art supply store, during and after college, to make some extra money.

Lumby-raised artist Camilla d’Errico works in her Vancouver studio on her latest Japanese anime and manga-inspired drawings. D’Errico also started working for startup comic book companies and doing some freelance illustration work. “My illustration and design degree helped me get some freelance work around Vancouver and it was when I started showing my paintings at the Ayden Gallery that I really began to be known,� she said. “From there, I would get commission requests for illustration work, while at the same time I was working on comics.� It’s at Comic-Con where d’Errico’s love of animation really got going. She first walked into the fangirl’s ultimate dream after graduating from Charles Bloom Secondary School (CBSS) in 1998. “As soon as I walked in to Comic-Con and stared into the halls of people and companies, I knew I found my place in the world,� she said. “From that moment, I worked tirelessly to reach professional art levels so that I could work for the big publishers. “One of my best memories was meeting
John Buscema, who was one of the greatest comic book artists in the industry. I remember it because he was so down to earth and he told me, ‘you will never get rich working in comics but you’re doing something you love, which is more than most people can say.’ And I remember it so well, and thinking that I didn’t want to be rich anyways, I just wanted to draw comics. It was another one of those moments where I knew I was on my destiny path.� The artist, whose parents still live in Lumby, while her younger sister is in Vernon, has sewn some close ties to her home community with her series of graphic novels, Tanpopo, which are being used as supplementary teaching material in the Grade 12 English class at CBSS, thanks to d’Errico’s former English and literature teacher Cathyrn Brown. “She taught me to love literature and poetry. We learned Chaucer, and Coleridge and Blake and so many more. I fell in love
with these authors, and this helped me to seek out more, and from many other cultures, who not only gave me this passion so many years ago, but is actively helping us know in developing teacher’s guides and teaching material so that Tanpopo can be used in schools,� said d’Errico. Like the books that d’Errico was introduced to years earlier, the Tanpopo series is based on classic literature and poetry, but is enveloped in the realm of manga and anime. “Our goal is to get the books into even more schools and into students’ hands. They are easy for students to relate to, interesting, and give totally new ways to learn about literature.� The series is centered around a strong female character who, unknowingly, makes a deal with the devil, and each book is based on a new and different piece of literature.

Coffee house enters eighth season Morning Star Staff
The coffee crowd will be kept humming with the return of the Coldstream Coffee House this month. Originated by Vernon’s Sid Tozer and some of his fellow musical friends, the coffee house has been going strong for eight years now thanks to a slew of dedicated volunteers. This year, local guitarist Manfred Harter has taken over the reins from Tozer to run the popular open mic, which showcases musicians and spoken word artists at the Coldstream Women’s Institute Hall on a monthly basis. “We will provide a platform and stage for musicians and poets to showcase their talents with new and familiar works,” said Harter. “There will be 15 minute time slots for up to five performing acts and a 40-minute set for the feature act.” This month’s feature act, Manfred and The Lonely, is slated to perform Spanish, Latin, popular and original works written by Harter for the season opener, Sept. 18.

The Coldstream Women’s Institute Hall is located at
9909 Kal Lake Rd., beside the Coldstream Municipal Hall. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the music starts at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $3 and
refreshments are available. Anyone interested in performing is asked to contact Harter at 250-549-1260 to reserve a spot.
Students get animated over Tanpopo Continued from page B1 The second book (published) is based on the Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Samuel Taylor Coleridge) and the third (published) is based on the short story collection, Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. “Tanpopo’s journey through each book will have her experience a new emotion, culminating in happiness and love. But before you think it is a typical happy ending story, I’ll tell you right away there’s a big plot twist,” hinted d’Errico. “I came up with the idea after watching the

opera, Faust. I immediately researched more and I felt inspired to create a story about a girl, lost and alone, and without emotion, who, like so many teenage girls, is confused and wants to feel emotions.” D’Errico continues to branch into marketing her work. With the help of her sister and business manager, AdaPia, as well as Nancy Marshall, her Lumby-based sales
and merchandise manager, she hopes to soon fashion a 3-D model of her characters, and also wants to work with a Japanese publisher to create manga in Japan. “In five years I see myself still as a graphic novel illustrator, but working on my own graphic novel, Helmetgirls,” she said. “It is a project very near and dear to me, and one that I hope to launch within the next year.”
But first d’Errico is expected to appear at a school assembly at CBSS in September (tentative date is the 24th), and will talk to students about the arts, jobs in the creative sector, and about how she has achieved her career and status. “I hope that I inspire teenagers to follow their dream,” she said. “I hope they know that it takes a
lot of hard work, persistence and dedication to get what they want, but they have to go for it and never give up. I can’t imagine my life any other way, and even though I am successful now, I still can’t stop or sit back, I always have to push forward, challenge myself and improve. It’s the name of the game, but at least I’m doing what I love.”

racy flavour, Going The Distance is definitely an odd choice. Again, and probably due to the fact that the genre itself churns out so many duds by comparison, it’s not a terrible film.

South drives Trucks Derek Trucks Band: Roadsongs
S
lide guitar journeyman Derek Trucks and his gifted five-piece band travel through many musical zones on Roadsongs, recorded live in Chicago in 2009. Trucks, the only non-vocalist, uses his guitar as a voice. His sound is expressive enough to fulfill the role and exciting enough to bring the presence of a frontman without having to act like one, but Dean Gordon-Smith the spotlight is shared equally between all the musicians. The DTB sounds like the proverbial well-oiled machine, old war horses of the road that they are. They have a high-toned spark in their sound. This is a big band (guitar, bass, keys, horns, drums, percussion and lead vox) that is in its element on the stage, jamming out the songs. Lest that maligned and misunderstood term “jam” be misconstrued, the DTB play the songs then they dig further in, riding the charges of electricity –– there’s no noodling, no

Sundance Martial Arts
ho hum. Days Is Almost Gone has an inspired movement around the edges performance that is pure interplay, held together by Mike Mattison’s joyful R&B vocal and the band’s gospel-in-the-nightclub delivery. This commitment to the muses comes through and brings on the uplift that can be missing in some live performances. These people feel excitement when playing together, bringing out instrumental telepathy and magic as in Truck’s singing guitar passages in Already Free. This spirit of communion reaches Olympian heights in Afro Blue, a psychedelic-jazz trip that turns in a five way instrumental conversation that grooves and burns. Some of the songs are long players, as the album is a double disc. Afro Blue winds up at 14:31 but it feels like it could’ve been one third of that time, so quickly does it move. The band’s southern heritage is evident throughout, especially on I Know, a swinging, revival flavoured song that recalls the majorkey bounce of classic-era Allman Brothers. The swamps are never too distant (Don’t Miss Me) on Roadsongs, an inspired mix of roadhouses, cool jazz clubs, tent meetings and rock festivals.

Can you relate?
E
very year I am more and more frustrated with those who choose to use bicycles for transportation. Don’t misunderstand, I think bikes are a wonderfully healthy and environmentally friendly way to get around. But, unfortunately some cyclists don’t always follow the rules of the road, and they seem to be on the road whenever I’m driving. In fact, it is rare for me to observe a cyclist signaling or being considerate of other vehicles, and even more unusual to see them come to a full stop at a stop sign. At four-way stops apparently they can’t count (but then, neither can anyone else it seems). Just the other day, a cyclist came up on the right hand side of my car while I was in a left turn lane and he looked at me and then drove in front of my car and turned left. He gave me a big smile as he maneuvered illegally in front of me. While the smile was lovely in itself, the actions weren’t. I remember following a bike in Winnipeg many years ago, with a sign on it that read, “pretend I’m a car.” I read the sign as the cyclist pedaled through a red light, pretending they were anything but a car. I watched a comic on TV the other night and nearly giggled myself off the couch. Seems he has similar feelings and he spoke of cyclists who sporadically rode both on the sidewalk and the road. His comment was “now I’m a car”……… oh no, now I’m a pedestrian – nope – now I’m a car” as he watched cyclists bounce from the road to the sidewalk and back, weaving in and out of traffic and generally behaving in an unsafe manner. Then there are the skateboarders. I was
coming out of a condo complex the other day when a skateboarder saw me and came to an abrupt stop on the sidewalk as he nearly collided into the side of my car. He had the audacity to be annoyed with me. I saw him, but didn’t see him before I got to Carole Fawcett the actual entrance, due to a huge round shrubbery that prevents drivers from seeing if anyone is on the sidewalk before they drive out. (which is why I drive slowly) He was a young fellow and hasn’t figured out yet that life consists of everyone being responsible for their own self and that you don’t speed down sidewalks expecting to race across entrances to
TAKING ON STRESS
complexes. Oh and why on earth did they put big planters at most of the crosswalk intersections in downtown Vernon? Let’s play “hide the pedestrian” until the last minute before they step out onto the street. It could be difficult to see someone who may be using a wheelchair or other form of mobility aid (like scooters, etc.). Then there are those who walk or jog at night with no reflective tape or lighting on their clothing. I drive along Pottery Road a lot and am always grateful when I see a jogger who is responsible enough to have reflective strips on their clothing. A flashlight or one tiny flashing light the size of a loonie just isn’t enough, although it’s better than nothing at all. So, for those of you who enjoy walking
in the dark, purchase some reflective tape. Invest in your own life. Now no reasonable person minds slowing down for a cyclist, a skateboarder, or a jogger/walker, but they have to do their part for road safety too. I mean, the idea of hitting someone with my car is just too much to think about. I can’t begin to imagine how it would feel to hurt someone, regardless of whose fault it was. To any cyclist, jogger, walker, skateboarder who reads this and is offended, if you are a responsible person, then I’m not talking about you, so don’t own it. To the rest of you, ride, jog, walk, and skate safe and let’s take care of each other by being personally responsible and considerate of others. Lecture over. Carole Fawcett is a

Taiwan interested in Okanagan products JUDIE STEEVES Black Press
In a country of 23 million there are bound to be affluent wine drinkers, and neither wine grapes nor cherries and apples grow well in the sub-tropical climate of Taiwan. So, it seemed fitting that David Ta-Wei Lee, representing the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Canada, was interested in meeting with some of the Okanagan’s winemakers and orchardists during a brief visit over the Labour Day long weekend. Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan saw it as a great opportunity to facilitate contact between the top Taiwanese diplomat and local agricultural producers, with the idea that more wine and perhaps fruit might flow from the Okanagan to Taiwanese markets in the future. Already cherries from the valley are exported to that country, as are icewines from wineries such as Quails’ Gate, but Mission Hill Family Estate, for instance, does not yet export any wines to Taiwan. The opportunity to meet with Lee brought Peter Wille, director of export for Mission Hill, in to lead a tour of the winery’s underground wine cellar and other facilities, with Cannan, Stockwell Day, Okanagan-Coquihalla MP, president of the treasury board and Minister for the AsiaPacific Gateway, and Roland Yang, Lee’s executive-assistant on Labour Day. Wille said although the winery doesn’t yet export to Taiwan, he would expect the winery’s premium tier of wines would be selected for that market. Lee said he expects there would be a market for high-end red and white wines, as well as the icewines that are popular there. Until recently, he noted, Taiwan was the largest importer of icewine abroad. Today it is
China. Rice wine, rather than icewine, is produced in Taiwan, he explained. Named
Shaoxsing rice wine, he said it is a traditional drink, along with sorghum liquor, which he said is 55 proof—a
high-alcohol drink. However, today wine is something new which is of interest to the affluent class in Taiwan,
he said. In turn, he envisions Taiwan exporting its information technology to Canada and to the
Okanagan Valley. “There’s good potential for that here in the Okanagan,” said Cannan.

Premier denies council bid for higher wage LACHLAN LABERE Black Press
The District of Sicamous may side with more than 40 other local governments in the call for the province to increase B.C.’s minimum wage, but Premier Gordon Campbell does not. Council recently wrote a letter to Campbell suggesting the $6 an hour training wage be increased to $8, and the $8 an hour minimum wage be increased to $10. Campbell replied, stating that no such change will take place. “At this time, we do not contemplate a raise in the minimum wage, but your support will be included in any related discussion,” Campbell stated in the Aug. 17 letter. Campbell’s main argument for the decision was based around the fact that most people living in B.C. are already being paid well above the minimum wage. “Currently, statistics show that the average hourly wage for workers in B.C. remains above $22,” replied the premier. “The average hourly wage for youth in the province is over $13/hour. At the same time that the proportion of workers earning the minimum wage has been falling – for the year 2009, it reached a record low of 2.3 per cent – government has introduced a wide range of measures to improve the standard of living for lower-income British Columbians.” Coun. Fred Busch says the letter was frustrating. “I think the statement almost defeats his whole argument,” he said, while Coun. Jerry Silva questioned why the premier would object to raising the minimum wage if it’s true that most employers are already paying over the minimum wage. Campbell argued that the government has taken great measures to improve the quality of life for lower-income
persons in B.C., including support services for persons with disabilities and policy changes in income assistance,
housing support and tax. “B.C. has the lowest income taxes in Canada for individuals earning
up to $118,000 and, since 2001, tax cuts have resulted in an additional 325,000 people no longer paying provincial
personal income taxes,” wrote Campbell. Campbell said that the government also had to consider how
raising the minimum wage would affect businesses in the province. “Efforts to meet the challenges of control-
ling externally determined costs can often result in a reduction of a firm’s employment rolls.”

Proper training is key to a happy pet/owner relationship CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Many people remember a favourite dog from the past and look forward to more good times when they get a dog. “A dog should be a joy and an inspiration in your life rather than a burden. When a dog is not well-trained and people can’t take them places, it’s sad,� said Monique Lamoureux-York who shares her love of dogs and knowledge of dog training in her business, The Ruff Life. She now works in the business with her husband, Aaron York. They’re newlyweds, married Aug. 21, who have three dogs of their own, two border collies and a pit bull. “A mistake people make is comparing a present dog to the last dog. Dogs are different and people change. Someone who wanted a high-energy dog 15 years ago might not be as active themselves now,� said York, who is proud of his bride’s skills with dogs and clearly knowledgeable about dogs himself. “People need to understand that dogs are not as complex as humans. They try to explain a dog’s behaviour in human terms. Training and rules are for the dog’s protection and happiness and for a good relationship between dog and owner.� Lamoureux-York, who trained with Ben Kersen of the Wonder Dogs and has continued her education since she started The Ruff Life five years ago, loves to see dogs and owners learn how to get the best from their relationship. “Problem behaviour can be fixed. Sometimes all it takes is a little retraining for dog and owner. Sometimes it takes more time but it is always worth it. We work with
CARA BRADY/MORNING STAR
Monique Lamoureux-York (left), owner of the Ruff Life dog training, with her husband, Aaron York, and their dogs Yoko and Lex. puppies and dogs of all ages and stages of training in groups so they can learn to be obedient in high distraction situations because that is what they will encounter when they go out in the community,� she said. The business has been restructured to provide basic training with the guarantee that people can come back for free refresher sessions or call for advice at any time as often as they feel the need during the life of their dog. The couple decided to simplify life and concentrate on their first love, working with dogs, after a difficult year that saw the
deaths of three close family members. “One of the things people ask about the most is what to do when a dog won’t come when called. What owners have to do is learn what to do and be consistent and treat the dog fairly and with respect and love comes,� said Lamoureux-York. “One of the common mistakes is to make excuses for poor behaviour because then there is never an opportunity to change. With small dogs people may pick them up and soothe them when they are not well behaved and that is just rewarding bad behaviour.
York added, “Love is a by-product of good behaviour. People also have to remember that human mentality and dog pack mentality are different and that dogs don’t speak English. They go by the tone of your voice and your body language. I think we are behind in North America in understanding what dogs need and what humans need. In Europe, for example, people take dogs everywhere and in some places they have to take dogs to training.� Lamoureux-York said it is important for dog owners to learn how to read situations before they happen and avert them, while keeping responses predictable and relaxed. “We have fun during the training. We teach the dogs that it is fun to come back to the owner so they want to do it. There is a lot of praise, we tend to correct dogs more than we praise them,� she said. They stress the importance of training for dogs that have been labeled aggressive so they don’t have to be put down. “Working with aggressive dogs is very rewarding. If a dog has bitten once, it will not always bite. All dogs and people have a point where they will break and defend themselves and it is not necessarily aggression,� said Lamoureux-York. “I enjoy working with dogs so much and I never stop learning. Owners have to be consistent and love their dogs enough to work with them. Dogs are loving and forgiving and they won’t hold on to the past. You may have had a bad situation but you can learn new ways to do things with your dog and have a good relationship.� She likes to go to dog parks and see dogs she has trained, especially the puppies who have grown up. “You should have a happy 10 to 12 years, and hopefully more, with your dog. It goes by too quickly. We want people to learn how to make the best of their time with their dog so they both enjoy being together,� said Lamoureux-York.
4AKE CARE OF YOURSELF AT THE WELLNESS OPEN HOUSE Morning Star Staff
A variety of workshops and classes are being offered free of charge at the wellness open house, Saturday at the Okanagan Centre for Spiritual Living, located at 2913-29th Ave. in Vernon, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The open house starts with a workshop on meditation at 10 a.m. that will show how it is a powerful tool for personal transformation. “We will use a variety of methods and techniques. Discover which one you enjoy and will stay with. Much like exercise, meditation has a cumulative effect, so ongoing
practise is key,� said open house organizer Lynn Wende. At 11 a.m. visitors can experience a joyful combination of music, movement and connection with themselves and others through BioDance (The Dance of Life), which is suitable for anyone who wants to explore expressing life through movement. No dance experience is necessary. A discovery workshop at noon discusses the teachings at the centre, which are an open system of thought, drawing on frontiers of knowledge as well as the wisdom of the ages. “Visitors can discover the powerful, life-affirming teaching that empowers individuals to make real and lasting
change in their lives from the inside out,� said Wende. At 1:30 p.m. song leader Linda Forner will conduct the finding your voice workshops, followed by “The Work� by Byron Katie, a basic introduction to a simple yet powerful process of inquiry that allows individuals to identify underlying limiting beliefs and question their own thinking about them. Finally, those interested in yoga can explore inner connection through movement and breath with Melissa of Blue Eagle Yoga at 3:30 p.m. For more information, call Wende at 250-558-4695.

Preparing kids for kindergarten Submitted to The Morning Star
Preparation for kindergarten starts at conception. Humans are very dependent on healthy brain development for their survival and the task of early childhood is to build connections in the brain that will last a lifetime. Healthy pregnancy, breastfeeding, good nutrition, an appropriate level of physical activity and sufficient sleep all contribute to healthy brain development. Children who have had positive interactions with caring adults and frequent opportunities to play with other children are usually well on their way to readiness for school and life. Some parents may have concerns about their children’s readiness for kindergarten, particularly if they will be starting in a school that is implementing full-day kindergarten. While this may produce anxiety for parents, we know that 29 per cent of children are not ready for Grade 1 after participating in a half-day program. The expectation of full day is not that the children will be expected to learn more, but that they will have more time to learn through play. While kindergarten will be a big change for some children, many have already had experiences away from home and family. If your child has attended daycare or preschool, they will have learned how to separate from their families for periods of time. If your child has participated in play-based activities such as parent and tot groups, Strong Start, or frequent neighbourhood play dates, they will have experienced
so their time is better spent playing, reading, and being physically active. If they have been having more screen time over the summer, start to wean then off of it gradually before school starts. –– Get to know your child’s teacher. Your child’s education is a partnership and children succeed better in school when their family members are involved. Have an adult or older child

some of what they will experience in kindergarten. Kindergarten classes are rooted in a playbased early learning framework that is designed for four-tosix-year-old children. Research shows that hands-on, play-based learning is very effective for young children. On the other hand, your child may be in a larger group than they are used to and there are usually less adults to attend to their needs. So how can you prepare them for this? –– Start by gradually getting them to bed a little earlier each night if they have been staying up later during the summer. Kindergarten is a busy and fun place and they will need 10 hours of sleep. Try to keep the same routine on weekends. Sleep is very important for healthy brain development. –– Work on basic independence skills such as using the bathroom and putting on jackets and shoes. Stickers to identify left and right feet can be helpful. Sing a song like Happy Birthday while handwashing to ensure they wash for long enough. –– Involve your child in shopping and preparing snacks and lunches. Schools have nutritional guidelines for what children can bring. The Vernon Health Unit has suggestions for healthy snacks that kids will actually eat. Put notes or photos in their lunchboxes so they can keep connected with you. –– If possible, walk to school and include physical activity and fresh air in their daily routine. They will sleep better and learn better. Children need a minimum of 90 minutes
per day of moderate to vigorous activity such as walking, running, jumping, skipping, hopping and climbing. –– Limit screen time including TV, computers, DVD’s, and handheld electronic devices to no more than one hour in total per day, including weekends. Research is very strong that screen time interferes with learning. Children learn through hands-on interactions,

Volunteers support community Morning Star Staff
Community support volunteers say they appreciate the opportunity to give back and to keep learning. “A colleague had taken the training and said she had gained so much and I have always been interested in counselling so I took it as well,” said Rita Eng. “It has helped me become a better and more empathetic listener in being able to help the clients here and in all my relationships, at work and with friends and family.” The community support volunteers receive 100 hours training over six months, work with a mentor who is a professional counsellor and see Family Resource Centre clients who are working on issues like grief and loss, life transitions and relationships. They are not assigned clients dealing with issues of sexual abuse, trauma or addictions. The emphasis is on understanding, listening while encouraging clients to find and draw on their own resources for their own solutions. “I felt well prepared to work with clients after the training and there is always support available for us,” said Kerrie Stewart, who took the training after reading about it in The Morning Star. “In helping the clients you help yourself. There is so much to learn. There are great people in the program and this program really helps people in the community who may not want to talk to family
or friends but who just need a safe place with someone to listen while they come to their own decisions. Once you realize how important this is to the community, you want to be better and better at it.” When the volunteers have completed their training, they are expected to share their new skills with the Family Resource Centre programs for 150 hours. This can take the form of one-to-one meetings with clients or co-facilitating Family Resource Centre group programs. Volunteers meet with their mentors and other volunteers regularly and there is on-going education. “The training is comprehensive but there’s so much learning that goes on amongst the students themselves. The people in the class bring so much experience and knowledge to share,” said Karen Swales, Family Resource Centre coordinator of volunteer services. She matches the clients, who can self-refer through the Family Resource Centre office, and volunteers. Clients have a choice of seeing a professional counsellor or a community support volunteer and may see a volunteer while on the waiting list for a counsellor or see a volunteer as they are finished up counselling. All client meetings take place at the Family Resource Centre at a time convenient for client and volunteer. “This is geared to what is going on in my life and I have never

I find this is a wonderful addition to my life,” said Stewart. “I learned that you need to get down to the feelings level and hear what’s underneath the expressions. You can’t solve anybody’s problems, it’s up to the person to be the agent of their own change.” Eng also appreciates the learning opportuni-
ties. “It’s a real journey of personal growth. It doesn’t matter what you do in life, it’s about relationships most of the time. Listening is huge. It helps move the process forward,” she said. “Our agency is extremely fortunate to be able to have people like this who will share their time and talents,” added Swales. Applications for the
community support volunteer program are being accepted now, followed by personal interviews and training starting in October. For application forms and more information call 250-545-3390 or see www.vernonfrc.ca.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - People in general could be more scrutinizing about others and life than usual. Keep this in mind if you’re trying to make a good impression on those with whom you spend your day. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Your abilities to achieve material success are particularly good, but it won’t mean a thing if you fail to acknowledge those who helped you open those doors. Give them their just due. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - When making some social arrangements, opt to spend your time with friends whom make you feel at ease. It’ll be more enjoyable when you can totally relax and just be yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - This is likely to be one of those days when you can increase your holdings through your own insight and initiative. Pick an amount of money you’d like to make, and go after it with both barrels. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Anybody who has a disagreeable disposition won’t be able to stay dire very long when around you. Your lively, positive attitude will permeate anything and everybody you encounter. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - A good friend who likes you a lot might find him/ herself in a position to financially help out others. If you’re the one who needs help, this person will pick up on it and come through for you. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -This can be one of your more pleasant days for just hanging out with people
you love or close friends who don’t ask anything of you except to be yourself. Sometimes life is good. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Innately you understand that luck is a matter of positive thinking, and you’ll prove it by not letting anything disturb you. People who sense this will want to be near you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Others might have to stand on their heads to be noticed, but not you. Your pleasantness draws all kinds of people who are merely looking for a happy person to be around.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot ashes 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.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder George Ade, a writer, newspaper columnist and playwright, pointed out that “anybody can win, unless there happens to be a second entry.” That is particularly apt for this deal. You are in five spades. West leads the club jack. What would be your plan? It is unusual to open two clubs, strong, artificial and forcing, with only 17 high-card points. But you have nine winners in your own hand. The drawback is your hand’s shortage of defensive tricks. West’s two-no-trump overcall showed at least 5-5 in the minors -- the Unusual No-Trump. It was a debatable choice with such weak clubs. And it also risked helping
declarer with the play if, as was highly likely, NorthSouth bought the contract. East bid the maximum with five clubs, based on his good fit for both minors. North was looking forward to doubling, but you understandably rebid five spades. East let the prevailing vulnerability persuade him not to bid six clubs, which when doubled would have cost 800. You should hope to win these 11 tricks: seven spades, three hearts and one club. To get three heart tricks, though, you will presumably have to take two winning finesses, which will require two dummy entries. Cover the club jack with dummy’s queen and
ruff away East’s ace with a high spade. Cash your spade ace, overtake your spade seven with dummy’s nine, discard a diamond loser on the club king, and take the first heart finesse. Return to the dummy by leading your spade four to dummy’s five -- the second entry -- and repeat the heart finesse.

Donovan James Pippus On the night of September 1, 2010 Donovan James Pippus was tragically taken from us at the age of 17. Don was born March, 25, 1993 in Mission, B.C. where he lived until 2004 when he moved with his family to the Okanagan. He was eager to start his grade 12 year at A.L. Fortune Secondary in Enderby and return to work at Schapol Logging. He was excited to graduate and follow in his older brother’s footsteps of laying ooring. He planned to marry his high school sweetheart, Christine, and to start a family. Don loved spending time with his close friends and his little sister, Sadie. Donny was loved by all who knew him and he always had a smile on his face. He could brighten anyone’s day by just walking in the room. Don will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his parents Diane and Dave Pippus; his siblings Jeni Biggs of Abbotsford, Rob Biggs of Edmonton, and Dan and Sadie Pippus of Salmon Arm; and his girlfriend of 3 years, Christine VanSolkema; as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. He was also the proud uncle of Mia Biggs and twins Tyla and Calla Jones. A Celebration of Don’s Life will be held in Enderby on September, 11, 2010 at A.L.Fortune Secondary School at 2pm. All are welcome to attend. We ask that those attending wear yellow as it was Don’s favorite colour. In lieu of owers please make donations to the A.L.Fortune Metalworks class.
Just remember Donny, “All our loving we will send to you.� Online Condolences may be sent through Don’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

HUWER
Thomas Paul
Taken from us far too soon, it is with deep sadness that we announce that Thomas Paul Huwer (Pete) was called home to be with his Lord and Savior on September 5th, 2010. He was a loving husband, father, son, brother, and friend. With a great passion for ying, he lived life to the fullest and enjoyed every moment with his family and friends. Creative and talented in so many ways, he left us with many wonderful memories. He will never be forgotten and his love and memories will always live on.
Pete is survived by his loving wife of thirty-one years, Liliane, one son, Jonathan of Lumby, two daughters, Karen (Justin) Prebushewski and Nicole, all of Lumby.
Joseph Jack
Taken from us far too soon, it is with deep sadness that we announce that Joseph Jack (Joe) was called home to be with his Lord and Savior on September 5th, 2010. Joe immigrated to Canada in 1971 from Ohio with his family and made his home in the Mabel Lake Valley. Originally, the family raised hogs and the farm was known as “Pig Cityâ€?. With a special bovine talent, Joe took over the farm and raised cattle. He was full of passion for life and loved his family, his friends, the great outdoors, hunting and ďŹ shing. A vibrant rugged man with a sensitive and humorous side to him, “Shona do you have something with chocolate wrapped around it?â€? – always full of wisecracks and nicknames for nearly everyone. Always there to lend a hand, he spent much of his time helping those in need in the community. Joe is survived by his loving wife, Shona of eleven years, two sons, Lee and Jesse, and two daughters, Jackie-Lynn and Jamie.
Pete and Joe are further survived by their father, Howard, of Lumby, three brothers: Bob ( Deb) of Coldwater, Ohio, Jim (Charlene) and Bill (Angel) all of Lumby, seven sisters: Joan (Len) Foisy, Jean (Al) Goettemoeller of Lumby, June (Andrew) Pfannschmidt of Vernon, Sally (Mike) Schmackers of Coldwater, Ohio, Susan of Lumby, Mary (Mike) Mulholland of Lumby and Ann (Bill) Verhage of Cherryville, numerous nieces, nephews and many dear friends. Pete and Joe were predeceased by their mother, Irene, in 2001. Prayers will be recited for Pete and Joe on Sunday, September 12th, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. at our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church. The Funeral Service will be held on Monday, September 13th, 2010 at 1:00 p.m. at Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church with Father Dale Normandeau and Pastor Phil Johnson of Osoyoos Baptist Church ofďŹ ciating. Interment will take place in Pleasant Valley Cemetery. Your love of ying brought you home, So y free now into the arms of the Lord. Your memories here will be without end, And one day we will be together again. So, wait for us. We’ll be there soon. Forever in our hearts. We love and miss you Arrangements have been entrusted to: PLEASANT VALLEY FUNERAL HOME (250) 542-4333 Condolences may be offered at www.pleasantvalleyfh.com

Cawston, Jeffrey Lane Jeffrey Lane Cawston, beloved son of Barry and Bess Cawston, was born in Beaverlodge, AB on January 25, 1954. He passed away peacefully on August 30, 2010 surrounded by the love of family and friends. Many people were touched by his caring heart. He will be greatly missed by his brother Douglas, brother Kevin (Ellen), nieces Lesley and Brie, nephew Ross, sister Suzanne (David), nieces Danielle and Shannon, nephew Will, loyal and loving relatives and friends. Jeffrey was a seeker of wisdom and truth, always exploring the edge of what was possible, seeking out the best and brightest ideas and people in his quest to understand the mysteries of mind and spirit. With his great smile, he was always available to speak to others about their problems or issues. For those who truly knew him, his spirit, sincerity and truthfulness were the riches he wore in this world. The family is grateful for the loving care given to Jeffrey by the staff of Hospice House and the faithful support of his dearest friends during his ďŹ nal, courageous battle with cancer. A memorial, to be held at his father’s lakeside residence, will be announced at a future date. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish may make a donation to the charity of your choice. I sought my soul, but my soul I could not see. I sought my God, but God eluded me. I sought my brother, and I found all three. Blessed is the inuence of one true, loving human soul on another. ~ George Eliot
