Pinball up-front about real heroes ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
If nobody ever made information technology workers feel important before, the Pinball changed that in one 90-minute session. Mike (Pinball) Clemons, current vice-chair of the CFL’s Toronto Argonauts, four-time Grey Cup winner and CFL Hall-of-Famer, was the guest speaker Wednesday at the Municipal Information Systems Association (MISA) West 2010 Fall Conference at the Wesbild Centre in Vernon. Clemons, one of the most charismatic players, coaches and executives in CFL history, called delegates by name, got face-to-face – though he needed to stand on a chair to get his five-foot-six body eye-to-eye with the six-foot man – with one participant, high-fived and chest-bumped people, and passed around his 2004 Grey Cup ring during his presentation. “Yeh, I’m a football guy here and you might be thinking, ‘What in the world does he know about municipal information systems or anything intelligent?’” smiled Clemons. “Football players with any kind of intelligent information, that’s an oxymoron.” Clemons explained that he can relate to the approximate 200 delegates in attendance as his mom worked for the City of Dunedin, in Florida, the same city the Toronto Blue Jays train in. “The systems you provide is what she used and accessed,” he said. Clemons did rattle off his career accomplishments, among them the three Grey Cup rings as a player and one as a head coach, nominated for CFL coach of the year an unprecedented six straight years, running for more all-purpose yards – 25,000+ – than any player in pro football history, and the only pro football player to have 1,000-yard seasons in

But the man known as Pinball, for the way he bounced off would-be tacklers, made it clear the accolades do not define him. “When you talk about those things and talk about me in the context of the game, all
it means is I was a glorified coward,” laughed Clemons. “I ran from people for a living. I’m a guy who ran with a piece of leather. Oh, sure, I’m in the Hall of Fame, but that’s a museum. That’s for old people, man, and all due respect to those who are in the Hall.
“When I look back at on my career, what I actually did was run with a piece of leather. For a few years. And it took me 12 years to do it. From that perspective, it wasn’t special.” Clemons was adamant that who he is, is the husband of Diane, his wife of 18 years (been together 26 and “she’s a hottie, guys”), and father to his three little girls, Rachel, Raven and Rylie. He said his greatest strength is understanding “how important I’m not,” and the fact that he’s the subject of a book, Pinball: Making of a Canadian Hero, makes no sense to him when he’s talking to a room full of actual heroes. “Municipalities provide infrastructure. If infrastructure disappears from the municipality, our way of life disappears,” said Clemons. “I ran with a piece of leather. They called me a hero. You are the No. 1 support for the foundation of our very existence as human beings. “My girls depend on you. What you do matters. The quality of life they will experience will be based on what you do today. If the things you’re doing today don’t happen, our way of life shatters. You need to know that. You are the true heroes. It’s not important the world tells you that. It’s important that you know that.” Clemons’ speech resonated with delegate Sabina Visser, general manager of IT for the City of Lethbridge. “He was awesome,” said Visser. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more dynamic speaker. His speech was quite empowering and some of it we can do with our own staff. I’ll take back some of the things he said and use it in my job.” The MISA conference, which wraps up today, drew about 350 delegates from the United Kingdom, Nunavut, California and Canada.
Dissatisfaction leads Rita back to politics RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A former premier is getting back into politics. Rita Johnston, who lives in Coldstream, has joined the B.C. Conservatives, saying its philosophy isn’t far removed from her Social Credit roots. “I’m quite concerned Rita Johnston about the way things are going in Victoria. I
wanted to help them in a way I can,” she told The Morning Star. “There has to be an alternative to the Liberals and I could never vote NDP. I felt the Conservatives are the way to go.” Johnston, who was premier for seven months in 1991, has not belonged to a party since Social Credit dissolved, but she did vote Liberal in the last election. She believes transparency has been lacking with the current government. “The HST issue was the icing on the cake. The way they handled it was so sneaky,” she said.
63(&,$/ 385&+$6(
“Whether you agree or disagree with it, we should have been told what’s going on.” Johnston is convinced that the B.C. Conservatives’ membership will grow because some voters are disillusioned with Premier Gordon Campbell. “The dissatisfaction with the Liberals is obvious and you won’t find many Liberals or Conservatives going over to the NDP,” she said. “We have to spread the word that we (party) are here. I hope when former Social Credit members see I’ve joined, they will roll up their sleeves and join with us. I hope to draw former
Social Credit members back into the political arena — not to run but to help.” Wayne McGrath, Conservative president and former Vernon mayor, welcomes Johnston’s participation in the party. “It gives us more credibility,” he said. Johnston will serve on the B.C.Conservatives’ advisory group, which will provide advice to the party leadership. “They’re willing to put their experience and contacts to use,” said McGrath of the advisory group, which includes former Newfoundland premier Brian Peckford, who lives on Vancouver Island.

RCMP officers investigate abduction Morning Star Staff
A walk home turned into a harrowing experience for a Vernon man Wednesday. Vernon RCMP say the 24-year-old was walking home in the area of the Vernon Recreation Complex at 2:15 a.m. when two men approached him. “The two suspects asked him where a party was,� said Gord Molendyk, Vernon RCMP spokesman. “When the victim tried to walk away, one man produced an axe and demanded money. The victim told him he had no money, and the men demanded that he get into their vehicle.�
“One man produced an axe.� — Gord Molendyk Molendyk said the two suspects drove off and turned into a parking lot at 24th Avenue near 34th Street a short time later. The suspects got out of the car and confronted two other men in the parking lot, again using the axe in the incident. “The first victim was able to escape the vehicle at this point,� said Molendyk. “He got a plate number as he ran away and
called police.� A short time later, a Vernon RCMP officer located the suspect vehicle with the two men inside. They were arrested and taken into custody. The second pair of victims that were confronted by these two suspects had not been located by RCMP as of The Morning Star’s deadline. The Vernon RCMP are asking the two men who were confronted in the parking lot Wednesday morning to come forward with details about the offence. The police are continuing the investigation.

I used to work for a non-profit group and I know how important they are to the community.� The 750 breakfast bags available during the event were sold out by 8:30 a.m.

Vernon men taken into custody Black Press
A dangerous situation for a police officer has led to possible charges for two Vernon men. On Sept. 10 at at about 4:30 a.m., an officer on patrol was almost sideswiped by a burgundy 1992 Dodge Caravan in the 2500 block of Auto Road SE in Salmon Arm. The officer turned around and found the vehicle abandoned with the engine running on a dead-end
cul-de-sac at 26th St. SE. The vehicle’s ignition had been removed. Other officers were called in and they found two suspects hiding in the bushes near 20th Street and 9th Avenue SE. The Vernon men — ages 19 and 20 — were taken into custody. The van was found to have been stolen from an Auto Road residence in Salmon Arm earlier in the night.

The district does not receive funding for the program, as it is paid for by students. “But again, these are cautious numbers because not all students who have registered will be here, some may not get their visas, so there are a number of reasons,” said Rundell. “But these are positive numbers for our program, especially with the downturn in the economy.” Rundell said the beginning of the school year has proceeded smoothly despite the construction projects that are ongoing, in particular the work being done to get the new Coldstream Elementary School open for business. “In spite of all these obstacles, it shows how well our teachers, administrators and support staff are prepared to start the school year,” she said.

Council misses opportunity
V
ernon council had the chance to do the right thing this week. Instead, Vernon once again stands out as one of the decreasing number of communities still willing to welcome circus animals to town. Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe thinks it would be sad if circuses no longer came to town. And that, because very few people have the opportunity to travel to Africa to see lions, elephants and other beasts in the wild, then they should be able to see them at the circus. “Sometimes, they serve a good purpose,” she said. I’m wondering exactly what that purpose would be. The “training” of circus elephants is a vicious Katherine Mortimer process where bullhooks and other torture devices are used to get the animal to do as it’s told. Blow torches and electric prods are also tools of the trade. Animals are kept in filthy conditions and transported in sub-standard accommodation to get from one destination to the next. When the Jordan World Circus came to town this summer, it was met by a few protestors outside the “big top.” According to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, this particular circus has a long history of animal-rights violations. Jordan no longer possesses an exhibitor licence from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The animals are leased from outside companies, so Jordan is no longer subject to citations under its own name. During the time it was USDA-licensed, Jordan World Circus failed to meet minimal federal standards for the care of animals used in exhibition as established in the Animal Welfare Act. The USDA cited the circus numerous times for inadequate and unsafe enclosures and for failure to provide proper veterinary care, prop-
AT RANDOM
er animal handling, nutritious food and clean water, shelter from the elements, and exercise. Jordan is just one of the many circuses that have a history of animal rights violations. So Vernon residents will still have a chance to continue supporting this barbaric and backward form of entertainment. I’m trying to understand why Vernon council refuses once again to stand up for those who can’t stand up for themselves, and I applaud the empathy expressed by Coun. Buffy Baumbrough, when she said. “There’s no educational opportunity to this. The animals are living in stressful conditions and used for our entertainment.” It just stuns me that in the 21st century we still think it’s OK to force an elephant to stand on a small platform or for a tiger to jump through a ring of fire. Maybe I missed the memo that declared the reason that lions, tigers, bears, elephants and any number of magnificent beasts were put on this earth was for our amusement. Coun. Bob Spiers believes that if Vernon bans animal circuses, they will go elsewhere. Not if B.C. communities continue to ban them, communities that so far include Kamloops, Kelowna, Salmon Arm, Langley, Nanaimo, Vancouver and Victoria, to name just a few. I went to the circus recently. It was an amazing, jaw-dropping show with beautiful music, awe-inspiring acrobats and extremely funny clowns. There wasn’t an animal anywhere to be seen. You may have heard of it: Cirque du soleil, a Montreal-based operation that since 1984 has visited more than 250 cities around the world, with close to 100 million spectators taking in the amazing spectacle that is a Cirque show. And Cirque is just one of the many animal-free circuses performing around the world. So you can’t make it to Africa? Too bad. Watch the Discovery Channel instead.
How does the average voter place trust in the words that leave the mouth of Premier Gordon Campbell? As the HST controversy continues its bizarre trail to a referendum a year from now, Campbell’s comments leave doubt as to what will happen if voters reject the tax in the $30-million-plus vote. On Monday, Campbell said the HST will be killed if a simple majority of voters who cast ballots are opposed to the HST – despite the fact the legislation calls for a majority of all registered voters across B.C. and in two-thirds of the 89 ridings. When asked if his government will put in writing that simplemajority promise, Campbell said it would not. Huh? On Radio NL in Kamloops, Campbell said of the NDPcreated Recall and Initiative Act: “It was a good piece of legislation and we are following the process.” This is the same Campbell who railed against this “good piece of legislation” when it was introduced in 1994. Here’s what he said as he tried in vain to convince the NDP to make the law less onerous on voters: “This is a bill that pretends to open the door to accountability and accessibility, but if a citizen wants to try to take advantage of that invitation, they’ll find that the door will be slammed in their face.” The all-party legislative committee did its job on Monday, when it decided to send the matter to a referendum next year. But the caveat added by Campbell, who then refused to place his promise in writing, and his stunning about-face regarding his view of the Recall and Initiative Act, have only added to widespread public perception that the premier just might have trust issues with voters. – Kamloops This Week

A complete waste of money
A
s a Vernon taxpayer I sometimes wonder about the value we get for the high salaries paid to our ever burgeoning city hall staff. One would think the city hall gene pool should have been enriched by adding 25 per cent more staff over the last two years. Instead, we seem to have hired from a small pool of like-minded groupies who do not really connect with the average taxpayer, let alone with Vernon’s business community. How else to explain the nonsense sponsored by Councillor Baumbrough to pass a bylaw forcing Vernon employers, when they alter their business premises or move to a new business site, to provide change rooms and showers for employees who bike to work. Apparently, the recent economic downturn has escaped her notice and that of the city staffers who rely on her to bring such brain flatulence forward to council. Fortunately, another councillor to second such a half-baked idea could not be found so this idiocy died a quick death. What appalls me is that it even got as far as council. What a waste of taxpayer provided staff salary dollars… and brought forward by a councillor, who a year or so BEAUTIFUL CITY I've been going to write this for over two years and Ollie Tischik's letter to the editor finally goaded me to put fingers to the keys. I think Vernon is beautiful and becoming more so every year. I want to thank the city for the lovely landscaping and road construction along 25th Avenue and Okanagan Landing Road that I travel every time I go downtown. Also I am impressed with the work done on Alexis Park Road. My neighborhood in South Vernon continues to edify me with pleasant surprises as the residents xeriscape their front yards and improve their property. The swamp on the south end of town now has interesting buildings, trees that will grow big and give shade and twisting roads that add variety to a shopping trip. East Hill has many old houses renovated to matriarchal beauty and new gracious looking homes replacing older run-down buildings. Along the highway companies have renovated old houses into business establishments, built beautiful new buildings and landscaped their property. I could continue but these examples will suffice.
ago, was condemning the province for driving our local meat processors out of business by requiring them to provide similar shower and change facilities for on-site meat inspectors! Councillor Baumbrough was so out of touch on this that she was quoted saying “What would it take to provide
When I was younger and more supple I helped others clean up the ditches of a busy thoroughfare close to where we lived. I've picked up garbage and pulled weeds on city and business property downtown. Unless the letter writer is in a wheelchair he could consider gathering gloves, garbage bag and clippers then go clean up his neglected monument. I am sure the city would give him permission. As far as I know there is no law saying private citizens can't help keep this city beautiful. Kay Przybille EVOLUTION OF POLITICS Just a note to let you know that it might be a whole lot harder to survive this Harmonized Sales Tax being rammed down our throats than either side may have predicted. You can now see that this might be just the evolution of bad politics, like the long-form census decision, and if we do not even try to right these wrongs we may lose control of our own legitimate freedoms. We must let our governments know that we want to use our own ideals to solve our own problems without destroying our own his-
torical identity. Bad politics ought to be treated in the same way as the majority of us would be treated if we were caught trying something similar. All British Columbians deserve better, bottom-to-top government instead of the present truth-hidden, top-down government. Bruce Gurnsey CIVIL LIBERTIES These are slowly being stripped away by a government who seem to put profit in front of common sense. I don't think most people are even aware of what is coming in September. The government is giving the police the right to pull you over without just cause. This means if they don't like your hair cut they can pull you over, give you a 24-hour suspension. Oh no, that is gone too. It is now an automatic $2,000 fine and two month or more suspension. That's right, they can totally ruin your life without you ever breaking a single law, or heaven forbid have a day in court. This is going to have very adverse affects on the workingclass responsible drinker. You know who I mean, that person who has a glass of wine with supper or stops at a friend's to

a shower?” If she doesn’t know, all she has to do is ask any taxpayer who has priced out the cost of a bathroom renovation to add a shower. Strewth! Where was senior city hall staff? Were they asleep at the switch? Does the city hall modus operandi just let staff pursue such inane pet projects? Sure, it’s a great idea if an employer voluntarily wants to provide such an amenity for their employees, but, what a bummer to have such a cost-of-doing business expense mandated by city hall. Surely, if our Downtown Vernon Association or Chamber of Commerce had been consulted they would have scotched such an inanity in short order. Councillor Spiers hit the nail on the head when he suggested Vernon needs a value-for-money review of some city activities. This waste of our tax dollars is not acceptable. Mayor Lippert needs to have a private word with our chief administrative officer, Leon Gous, about the need to keep a more diligent eye on off-the-wall projects that some staffers are wasting time and money on. Jim Bodkin
enjoy a beer and talk about sports. When the government put in the smoking ban, they told us that free enterprise is gone in Canada (it is my sandbox and my rules). The problem is, the sandbox belongs to all of us. Civil liberties are for all Canadians. There is no reason a public house should not be able to place a sign on their business saying smoking establishment. If you do not like the atmosphere, don't go in. I have worked in smoky bars and built scaffolding inside digesters in pulp mills, I much prefer the ventilated smoky bar. Too bad the freedom to choose has been taken away, and many of us still work in much worse WCBapproved environments. It is a sad day when a government changes its laws, stripping away the civil liberties of all, to suit the ideals of small organizations like MADD. I can't help but feel the vast majority of people disagree with their ideals for the perfect world, even if they are being jammed down our throat like the HST. What is next? Will they give the police the right to enter your private home because they think you are using
too much electricity? When do we realize our democratic rights, our liberties and freedom have been removed? A police state is what's left. B. Thor

Bear destroyed after wandering into Vernon RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Wandering into town turned deadly for a bear. The RCMP had to destroy a bear, which was under two years old, Wednesday at about 4:30 p.m. after climbing a tree on 29th Crescent in Vernon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a public safety issue when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re that close to town,â&#x20AC;? said Josh Lockwood, conservation officer. The bear was first seen near Wal-Mart Tuesday and then by residents driving along 27th Street, at 30th Avenue, Wednesday at about 6 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I looked over and saw something coming down the stairs of the courthouse. It was too big to be a dog,â&#x20AC;? said one motorist who did not want to be named. The animal then went west across 27th Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It tried to go up a tree and then it went into Justice Park. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the last I saw of it,â&#x20AC;? said the man. Lockwood says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unusual to see a bear right in town like that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It probably got lost and confused or it was following garbage cans,â&#x20AC;? he said. North Okanagan residents, including those right in the central part of Vernon, are being urged to reduce potential bear conflicts by not
limiting food sources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely important because bears have gone into
their pre-hibernation feed,â&#x20AC;? said Lockwood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for food and if you pres-
ent them with a food source, they will take advantage of it.â&#x20AC;? Residents should
clean up ripe fruit in their yard and keep pet food, garbage, barbecues and compost out
of reach. Conservation officers also ask you to take down bird feeders as they can be a food
source for bears. If a bear is threatening people or livestock, call 1-800-952-7277.

Mosquito control efforts stung with funding fallout RICHARD ROLKE
NORD will conduct mosquito larviciding for virus control in the spring and summer of
Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan taxpayers could be left footing the bill for the fight against West Nile virus. The North Okanagan Regional District has been told its member jurisdictions shouldn’t expect any provincial funding for mosquito control next year. “Apparently the bottom of the barrel was scraped for funding this year,” said Nicole Kohnert, regional engineering services manager, in a memo to the board. The prospect of no funding for regional districts and municipalities isn’t going over well with elected officials. “The province pays a lot of lip service to health care and if they cared about the health and welfare of the province, they’d do it,” said director John Trainor of West Nile prevention. “It’s absolutely downloading. It means an increase in local taxes.” Herman Halvorson, board chairman, says the potential cuts could impact his rural Enderby constituents. “The biggest amount of mosquitoes with the virus is right in Area F — right in my back door,” he said. “If residents want it (controls), I’d seriously have to look at funding.” Halvorson has concerns about liability. “If there’s a situation where someone gets West Nile virus and we haven’t acted, the regional district could be held responsible,” he said. In July, NORD received $41,000 for mosquito control in the

The North Okanagan Regional District has been in discussions to purchase land at Canadian Lakeview Estates for park, but the Lakeview Estates Community Association claims the process has been delayed because of possible restructuring of Greater Vernon’s parks and recreation function. “We cannot jeopardize the project,” said Isabel Furtado, LECA president. The property includes two tennis courts, storage and parking. Mayor Wayne Lippert, who is involved in the restructuring process, believes it should be wrapped up soon. “We’ve been moving along as quickly as we can,” he said of the negotiations involving Vernon, Coldstream and NORD.

News Killiney boil water advisory issued Morning Star Staff
Residents of one community on the west side of Okanagan Lake are being urged to boil their water. On Thursday afternoon, officials with the Central Okanagan Regional District initiated a boil water advisory for Killiney Beach. “The notice covers all residents on the Killiney Beach Water System on Westside Road after the system experienced a solenoid malfunction that has resulted in the failure of the chlorination system,” said Charlie Cameron, manager of public works with the regional district. “Interior Health has been contacted and regional district staff are working to correct the situation as soon as possible.” According to Cameron, all water intended for drinking, washing produce, making beverages or brushing teeth should be purified. Water purification instructions from the Interior Health Authority include: ■ Boiling water for one minute (rolling boil) or ■ Disinfecting water by adding two drops of household bleach per liter of water (double bleach for cloudy water) and letting stand for 20 minutes. ■ Or, using an alternate supply of water or commercially bottled water. The boil water advisory will continue until further notice, said Cameron. There are about 270 customers on the Killiney Beach Water System.

Golf tourney raises $11,000 Morning Star Staff
There was no sun, only rain, but fun was still had by all at the 18th annual New Car Dealers Association of Vernon’s Fun in the Sun charity golf tournament. Sunday’s fundraising event at the Spallumcheen Golf Club featured 96 golfers supporting two worthy causes, Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation and Vernon Junction Youth Centre. A little more than $11,000 was raised for the two charities with the auction table alone bringing in more than $3,000. “Although the sun did not shine for one single moment during the tournament, it was a great success, everybody had a great time,” said Dean Kosmino, president of the New Car Dealers Association of Vernon. “That says something about the participants. They didn’t let the rain stop them from raising money and having fun.” Team Bannister sizzled in the steady drizzle, bringing home the winning trophy for the second year in a row with a score of 11-under par. Members Dick Rosman, Dave Jones, Leif Peek and Scott Young also took the speed round, finishing the selected fourth hole in 52 seconds. Kal Tire’s team of Justin Myhre, Glen Finnie, Wylie Barker and Grant Boeckx finished second, two shots back, at 9-under, and The Morning Star quartet of Glen Fester, Sheryll Bissell, Bruce Rasmussen and Kevin Mitchell came in third at 8-under. The New Car Dealers of Vernon are grateful for the support of their sponsors, auction donors and players who came out in the rain for the cause and bid generously during the silent auction.
Turanski acclaimed Morning Star Staff
It was business as usual at the first meeting of the board of trustees for the 2010/11 school year. At Tuesday’s Vernon School District meeting, longtime trustee Bill Turanski once again accepted the nomination for board chairman, and was elected to the position unanimously and by acclamation. “We know we’ll have lots of challenges in the year ahead, but whatever comes up we’ll Bill Turanski deal with it.” Returning to his seat at the head table, Turanski quipped, “The view isn’t any different from here.” As well, trustee Sam Banducci, who is serving his second three-year term on the board, was elected once again as vice-chairman, also by acclamation.

News Program benefits students’ reading
TimLimi e O ted ffe r!!
KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
Thanks to the Summer Reading Program, students from 10 district elementary schools have had the opportunity to improve their skills. At Tuesday’s Vernon School District meeting, director of instruction Joe Rogers explained the program, which took place in July. “We had 96 students at six different sites who were given 40 hours of reading instruction,” said Rogers. “We had great participation and attendance was good.” Students’ reading levels were evaluated at the beginning and at the end of the program, with 95 per cent of students improving by at least one reading level, and 30 per cent of students improving by four or more levels. “We had one girl who improved by eight reading levels,” said Rogers. “I visited all of the programs in July and there was a very positive atmosphere, with all the kids happy to be there.” Next year, Rogers hopes to be able to add a program for Grade 7 students who may need a little boost before starting high school. “Summer reading 2010 was the largest and best attended summer reading program for the past four years,” said Rogers. “The 11 teachers involved did an outstanding job meeting each child’s individual needs and offering suggestions to families on how to continue the positive results at home.” With funding from the Ministry of Education, the program welcomed 19 students to the program at Alexis Park elementary school; 20 to BX; 22 to Ellison and 16 to JW Inglis. As well, two additional programs were directed by The Junction Literacy Centre and funded through the district’s aboriginal department: 13 students at the Okanagan Indian Band and six at the Boys and Girls Club. “Each program administered surveys with parents unanimously stating that the program was helpful for their child,” said Rogers. At the end of the program, children were given two or more books suited to their individual reading level. The books were donated by Nelson, McGrawHill, National Geographic, Oxford Press and Bookland. As well, Tim Hortons and Safeway donated snack foods for the program. “We’re getting teachers coming back for the third year,” said Rogers, adding that the majority of students were in Grade 1 and 2, with a few from Grades 3 and 4. “Students need to be recommended by their classroom teacher in order to attend, and need to be a year behind before they are eligible to attend. “We would have one program in every school if I had teachers interested and kids willing to come.”

Project reels in success
www.vernonmorningstar.com
BARB BROUWER Black Press
“It’s a short-term impact.” from Gardom Lake, near Enderby, last year, Phillips and Fleming had two species of bass, pumpkin seed, a type of sunfish, and yellow perch – all known as spiny ray fish. “Most likely someone put the bass in for sport fishing and the other fish as food for the bass,” says Klassen. The cash needed to clear area lakes of invasive species was accessed through the province’s Habitat Conservation Trust, which is funded by a portion of the sale of fishing and hunting licences. MOE officials will set traps next spring to make sure the treatment has worked. If the project has been successful they will kick-start the fishery by stocking the lakes with catchable rainbow trout – eight to 10 inches long instead of the one-inch fry normally used. If the project is unsuccessful, Klassen says the lakes will probably be closed to fishing. “In all the other lakes we’ve done, we got rid of all of them,” he says, noting there will likely be no further funding for treating the lakes. “We are the MOE and killing lakes is not appealing to us. But it’s a shortterm impact instead of the long-term biological impact we could have.”

Three years, nine lakes, $1.3 million and the Shuswap is free of invasive fish species; at least for now. Last week, Phillips and Fleming lakes in Turtle Valley, nearby Skimikin Lake and Miller near Falkland were treated with the poison Rotenone, a treatment that cost $415,000. That treatment, applied by Ministry of the Environment by boat, airboat and, for the first time by helicopter to reach wetlands inaccessible by boat or foot, finishes a project that began in 2008 with the poisoning of two lakes near Chase. The largest of the projects, the three Shuswap lakes involved six kilometres of interconnected streams. Phillips Lake flows into Fleming Lake, which flows down to Skimikin. Although Skimikin is not normally connected to Shuswap Lake, in a flood event the invasive fish could be flushed downstream into a stream that does connect. “We have treated lakes over the past three years but never streams,” says small lakes biologist Andrew Klassen with the ministry. “We had closed all these lakes to fishing, but the problem was people were still moving the fish.” As well as voracious perch and one species of bass removed
Only $7.00
In an effort to prevent a reoccurrence, MOE, the British Columbia Wildlife Federation and the federal Department of Fisheries have offered a reward of up to $30,000 leading to the conviction of someone releasing invasive species into area lakes.

Trash options up for discussion in Coldstream JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Coldstream is being asked to consider throwing its current garbage disposal methods in the trash. Residents of the community currently have options for garbage removal such as paying one of two local companies to pick it up or hauling their refuse to the dump themselves. But universal garbage collection should be considered, says Coun. Doug Dirk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coldstream has always been resistant, but I think this would be a good discussion.â&#x20AC;? Dirk is asking for resident input through the Technical Advisory Committee. The committee will consider having a presentation detailing reports from the Solid Waste Management Plan review. Dirk hopes residents will take into account more than just what they pay to have garbage taken away each week.
Lumby picks up highway funds
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now everybody has an opinion, but they need to engage with the information,â&#x20AC;? said Dirk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not asking
anybody to make any decisions, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just asking for input.â&#x20AC;? Coun. Gyula Kiss isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sold on the idea of uni-
versal garbage, especially where costs are based on two bags a week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People like me who have very little garbage
to put out are subsidizing people who have a lot of garbage to put out.â&#x20AC;? But whatever input comes out of the com-
munity, Dirk insists the discussion should commence so councillors have an idea of what their residents want.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think input in solid waste and how we manage the landfill...need to have some sort of discussion.â&#x20AC;?

Upgrades to a North Okanagan highway are underway. The provincial government has directed $3 million towards Highway 6 in Lumby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make sure that your tax dollars are spent wisely and thanks to a competitive bidding system, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing,â&#x20AC;? said Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster. The funding is available as the result of savings achieved through bids on previously announced federal and provincial projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These savings mean more money for additional projects and more jobs in our community,â&#x20AC;? said Foster. Surface improvements will be done on Highway 6 between Shuswap Avenue and Faulkner Avenue and along the east side of Lumby. Construction completion is expected by Oct. 31.

Short listed for Wesbild rafters GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Robbie Short spends more time at Wesbild Centre than the Zamboni drivers. Not only is he the longest-serving Vernon Viper (309 career Junior A hockey games), the 21-year-old Lavington product also racked up four years of Junior B lacrosse mileage with the Vernon Re/Max Tigers. Now, Shortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name will be seen for years to come at the rink as his No. 20 jersey will be the first retired by the storied Vipers/Lakers organization. Short, who will soon head south for a pro tryout with the Texas Brahmas of the Central Hockey League, found out about the honour Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After practice, Ferns (head coach Mark Ferner) called me over and he and Duncan (owner Wray) were there and Duncan tried to lead me on as much as he could, saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never done before,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and tried to drag it out before he told me. It was quite the surprise,â&#x20AC;? smiled Short, a two-time Royal Bank Cup winner and two-time Fan Favourite Award winner at the Vipersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; annual banquet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On top of everything else that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had here, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unbelievable. Nobody else has had it, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think there are too many people in junior hockey that have had their number retired. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite the honour.â&#x20AC;? In 222 career B.C. Hockey League games, Short recorded 61 goals, 76 assists and 234 penalty minutes. Not all-star numbers by any means, but the Viper coaches (and Short has seen quite a few come and go) could always count on the 6-foot, 200-pounder for a clutch goal and a solid effort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was what we wanted out of a player each and every night,â&#x20AC;? said Vipersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; assistant coach Jason Williamson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever we needed Shorty in those championship games we always knew what we were going to get from him. He never complained and he always did what we asked of him.â&#x20AC;? Playing his minor hockey in Lumby, Short grew up idolizing the Vipers and even got to
meet some of his heroes away from the rink. He used to live right down the street from David Morelli and he would always go out and play ball hockey with him and some of Morelliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Viper teammates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had half the team out there most of the time, so I knew those guys pretty good,â&#x20AC;? he said. Short remembers his first BCHL goal just as well, and his linemates even better. It was Oct. 10, 2006 against the Trail Smoke Eaters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was playing in Trail and I had two skinny APs on my line by the name of Jones (Connor and Kellen), their first game,â&#x20AC;? he laughed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just came up the wall in the offensive zone and just turned and blindly shot and it went right in over his shoulder. I was my third game in the league. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember Bernie Pimm (former head coach) told us if we scored one goal weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d win that game.â&#x20AC;? Vernon lost 7-5, but Short and the twins combined for seven points. The decision to hoist Shortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number to the Wesbild rafters will inevitably raise questions as to why other Viper/Laker alumni havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already had their numbers retired. Williamson, a former Viper (1999-2002), expected as much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obviously a huge history here with the amount of players that have come through these doors. Even from when I played there was Kori Davison, Garth Gartner and some other locals that could go up there too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get questioned no matter who you put up. Someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be first and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good starting point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Players that come in here need to realize there were players here before that put their heart and soul into this team.â&#x20AC;? Shortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jersey will be raised to the rafters in a pre-game ceremony as the Vipers host the Penticton Vees Saturday night at Wesbild.

Salmon Arm hijack Vernon Toyota 3-2 to earn semis berth Morning Star Staff
Salmon Arm brushed back Vernon Toyota 3-2 in Gray Monk Odyssey Cup men's 35+ soccer quarterfinal action Wednesday night at Salmon Arm Credit Union & Savings Field. The hosts opened the scoring in the 15th minute after Toyota keeper Colin McDonell was unable to corral a dropping shot and the ball squirted out to a Salmon Arm forward. He deftly tucked the ball under the crossbar
over top of the sprawled McDonell. Fifth-place Salmon Arm took a 2-0 lead when a Toyota miscue allowed a Salmon Arm forward to slip behind the defence and stick the ball into the far corner of the net. Fourthplace Toyota responded early in the second half when John Orton tipped the ball past a charging Salmon Arm keeper after a flick on. Salmon Arm restored their two-goal lead with a blast from 30 yards out that curled

around the defender and beat a screened McDonell. Toyota clawed their way back into the game off a set play from Iain Butler reminiscent of this year's World Cup. Butler's free kick from 25 yards out bent around the Salmon Arm defensive wall and nicked the inside of the post on its way into the top corner. Toyota pressed hard for the equalizer in the final 20 minutes, but could not find the

Vernon's Chris Baryla will make his first start since undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum in his hip in April at this week's Nationwide Tour's Boise Open. The VSS Panther grad played just seven events on the PGA Tour this year before having to shut it down. Baryla earned his tour card this year by way of finishing inside the top 25 on the Nationwide Tour's money list in 2009. It's unsure if he'll play any of the Fall Series events next month and into November, however, he'll retain his card for 2011 on a medical extension.
Champness defends title Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Nathan Champness made it a repeat performance as he finished first overall at the Bike Barn 10-kilometre race Sunday in Penticton. Competing in 15-degree, overcast conditions, Champness finished in 35 minutes and 26 seconds, shading Kelowna’s Glenn Lear, last year’s runner-up, by 15 seconds. A total of 17 Vernon-area runners competed in the event, part of the Canadian Tire Interior Road Race Series. Running down age-group gold was the always energetic Shanda Hill (47:57), competing in the women’s 20-29 division. Hill, the younger sister of pro snowboardcross/BMX rider Kevin, was the ninth woman overall. Lynda Proce, who ranked fourth in the women’s 55-59 with 46:07, was the eighth female finisher. Allanna Simms (48:42) finished a
close second in women’s 35-39, and Irena Mcdonald (50:06) struck silver in the women’s 50-54. Third-place finishes went to Coldstream’s Anthony Bar (41:12) in men’s 20-29, Onna Stoll (56:39) in women’s 45-49, John Arih (47:19) in men’s 40-44 and Ken Riegel (50:12) in men’s 60-64. Lance Sweeney (42:09) deserved best effort of the day, finishing fourth in a tough field of 11 men’s 35-39 racers. Coldstream’s Dan Kunzelman (43:04, men’s 45-49), John Chiholm (46:03, men’s 50-54), Wendy Schroeder (54:37, women’s 50-54) and Patricia Riegel (56:25, women’s 60-64) also earned fourth-place finishes. The final race of the Interior Road Series race is the gruelling 18-km Peak to Beak, Sunday in Kelowna. For more information and complete race results, visit www.interiorrunning.ca.

Brent Worrall, 44, formerly of Chilliwack, is back to racing in motocross competitions after nearly three decades away from the sport.
North Valley Gymnastics Society
Worrall back in moto battles Morning Star Staff
After breaking his right leg for a fifth time in motocross racing, Brent Worrall figured he better step away from the sport. That was back in 1983 when he had his pro licence and was making main events during those Super Cross shows at B.C. Place in front of thousands of fans. Today, at 44, the Kenkraft RV Sales service employee is back in motocross, where he turned in a spectacular season. He won the provincial championship series 40+ and veteran-masters (any rider who has held a pro card) points titles by placing fourth and sixth in those category finals two weeks ago at Whispering Pines in Kamloops. At the second-last card of the year in
Prince George, Worrall won the 40+ final and finished third in the vet-masters. "My goal was to win this year," said Worrall. "It's in my blood. It's like any sport you play and love. You don't want it to end. There are lots of older guys than me racing." Sponsored by Barry Wellings of Valley Moto Sport in Kelowna and MX Form online racing site, Worrall was the Canadian Under 16 champion and finished 10th in the worlds in Saddleback, Calif. He was nominated as Athlete-of-theYear in Chilliwack in 1980. "My dad was a racer and I got my first bike at age six," said the 5-foot-7 Worrall. "I grew up watching Evel Knievel and I always challenged myself to be like him."
Being a motorcycle daredevil is in his 40s has not stopped the carnage. "I (and his wife Gisela) was busy raising a family and one day I was looking at my trophies and pictures with my daughters (Sonu, 18, and Sara, 16) and they were asking me questions about my racing days which was quite humbling. "We went on a random family trip to West Edmonton Mall and there was a pro nationals race on. We watched it and I got the bug to race again. I started racing again in 2008. I broke my arm, collarbone and foot in three separate crashes my first year back." Worrall can be seen riding a unicycle in the annual Vernon Winter Carnival Parade.
Riders put on Hare-raising show Morning Star Staff
More than 100 riders were greeted with mixed conditions last weekend for rounds three and four of the Okanagan Hare Scrambles Off-road Motocross Series at Becker Lake A total of 55 racers competed in the series’ first-ever night race, and 123 racers for the Sunday race, including 13 Pee Wee riders in the 50- and 65-cc classes. Hosted by the Vernon Off-Road Motorcycle Club, the event featured a spectacular night course along with challenging A and B loops for the morning and afternoon races. “The Saturday night race was very dusty while the Sunday races were very greasy, thanks to the all-nightand-day rainfall,” said club spokeswoman Wendy Dyck. Sunday’s Enduro Cross Course provided huge entertainment for the
spectators, especially the wet slippery logs, added Dyck. Top local riders included Salmon Arm’s Ryan Durkee, who claimed first place in the pro class of Sunday’s Rev Limiter race. He was followed in third by Vernon’s Malcom Hett. Taking first in the expert class was Nathaniel Dyck of Vernon. Vernon’s Kyle Puhlmann finished first in the veteran expert division, and club president Andrew Christiansen secured silver in the senior expert. In intermediate racing, Vernon’s Blake Plysiuk was first and Salmon Arm’s Chantelle Bykerk was third. Stephen Bearss grabbed first in the veteran open class, and Bree Taber collected second in the ladies division. Complete results can be found at www.ohssracing.com.

He is affectionately known as Shrek or Pieps by his friends and teammates. Chad Pieper has an infectious smile and it was in full flight Saturday night as he swept the major trophies at the Armstrong Shamrocks awards banquet at the curling club. Pieper, who backstopped the Shamrocks to the Okanagan X-treme Lacrosse League regularseason title (8-4), received the Ernie Henderson Memorial Trophy as MVP and the Jim Nelson Trophy as playoff MVP. The Shamrocks bowed to the third-place Kamloops Rattlers (7-5) in the Shaw Cup final series. "I don't think this award will come as much of a surprise," said GM Ryan Nitchie, as he announced Pieper as team MVP. The Shamrocks allowed the fewest goals (62) in the league with Pieper leading all starting goalies with a 5.01 GAA and a .884 save percentage. He also played the most minutes (659). Nathan Strohm, who pocketed 10 goals and 22 points, won the Armstrong Inn Trophy as Top Offensive Player, while Shaun Koenig and Braydon Sanders shared the Top Defensive Player honour. Veteran Pat Nelson won the Nitchie/McGregor Trophy for the Manager's Choice Award, while captain Chad Pounder took home the Frost Family Trophy for the Coach's Choice Award. Birthday boy Steven Clark, who scored six goals and earned a call-up by the senior A Nanaimo Timbermen, earned Rookie of the Year. Dan Giger, who compiled five goals and nine

The Royal York Golf Course Trophy as Most Sportsmanlike Player went to Kriss Yargeau, while the Dan Buchanan Trophy as Shamrocks of the Year went to junior coaches Pat Nelson, Glenn Mitchell and Brett Logan. Nitchie announced he was retiring after 16 years of extraordinary service. He urged the younger players to take on leadership roles so the team never repeats the 12-year absence they had through the early 1990s. The Shamrocks presented Morning Star sports editor Kevin Mitchell a bound copy of a book on the history of lacrosse in Armstrong, in thanks for strong media coverage.

Rockets rev up for seventh season The Okanagan Rockets of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League open their seventh season this weekend with seven Vernon products on their roster. Defencemen Nathan Browne and Jordan Burns made the team along with forwards Alex Gillies, Alex Jewell, Mat Lambert, Harlan Orr and Jedd Soleway. Saskatoon Blades of the Western Hockey League returned goalie Adam Todd to the Rockets. To make room for Todd, the Rockets released goaltender Michael Hails of Vernon, who had a strong camp. Todd had spent several weeks with the Blades and got into multiple WHL pre-season games. In 120 minutes of action, Todd turned aside 47 of
the 51 shots he faced, good for a .921 save percentage. The Rockets meet the Valley West Hawks for games in Vancouver this weekend. Last season the Rockets were 3-0-1 versus Valley West, outscoring them 21-7. The Hawks have just one win over the Rockets since 2006. The Rockets are 13-1-2 over the past four seasons against the Hawks. The BC Major Midget League is hosting the entire league at UBC Thunderbird Arena to open the season. The league will gather again in Kelowna this January for the Prospects and AllStar Weekend. Misko Antisin, 45, who spent 14 years as a defenceman in the Swiss pro leagues, is the Rockets' head coach.
Enduro racers descend on Ellison Morning Star Staff
The Ellison Project, a six-hour enduro race, will challenge mountain bikers on the fun green and blue single-track trails in the eastern portion of Ellison Provincial Park Saturday, Sept. 25.

The race will consist of individuals and mixed pairs and teams riding the 11-kilometre course for as many laps as possible in six hours. As the region’s first significant cross-country mountain bike race in many years, the event will showcase the excellent trails in the park and the prog-
ress NOCS has made in enhancing the North Okanagan mountain biking community.

Award-winning rappers bring beats to town KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not everyday a rap group wins an Academy Award, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just what happened in 2006 when Three 6 Mafia jumped, memorably, onto the stage to collect the little gold statue for their song Hard out Here for A Pimp from the film Hustle and Flow. Consisting of DJ Paul and Juicy J, Three 6 Mafia have come a long way since first starting out in Memphis, Tenn. 20 years ago, and they are about to make some local fans really happy. They are about to take the stage at Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wesbild Centre Sept. 25 for a night of hip hop that also features some local talent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be crazy, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna rock it,â&#x20AC;? said DJ Paul. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We put on a hell of a show.â&#x20AC;? Hoping to pack the arena, DJ Paul (aka Paul Beauregard) adds: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come on out.â&#x20AC;? The award-winning group might even check out the local scene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any after party plans,â&#x20AC;? said DJ Paul. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I might just end up hanginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; out in some bar.â&#x20AC;? But first you gotta ask, what was it like winning an Academy Award for best original song and being the first, and perhaps the last, hip hop group to do so. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was great man, it was a hell of an achievement,â&#x20AC;? said DJ Paul. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just thank God for it. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy to get it but when we got it, it was crazy.â&#x20AC;? Still riding on the success of their 10th album, Laws of Power, Three 6 Mafia have had a club hit with the single Feel It, featuring techno giant Tiesto, which is still climbing its way up Billboardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot dance club song charts. Although dance hits have made their way into Three 6 Mafiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music, the group hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t strayed from its roots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did a couple songs just for radio,â&#x20AC;? said DJ Paul. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still make records for our hardcore fans, you got to.â&#x20AC;? With gold and platinum singles and albums lining their walls, the boys have produced for such platinum rappers as Ludacris and UGK, and have released albums under their own independent Hypnotize Minds label. They have also collaborated with rap superstars such as AKON, Sean Kingston, Flo Rida and Techn9ne, just to name a few. The group is best known for writing party music with a humourous edge as well as hard-hitting, sometimes menacing, lyrics with chaotic soundscapes. Songs such as You Da Police, with its angry beat accented by swirling sound effects about double-timing friends, and Hell Of A Drug, where Juicy J details the brutal impact drugs

Three 6 Mafiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DJ Paul and Juicy J are ready to rock Vernon as they hit the Wesbild Centre Sept. 25, after opening acts from local artists Creative Bloodline and Dank Stevens, as well as Immaculate, TassNata and others.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna rock it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; DJ Paul take on peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worlds, are just some of the tracks off Laws of Power. And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the street lingo, from past hits (Ridin Spinnaz, Sippin on Some Sizzurp, Poppin My Collar and Late Nite Tip) which may have a few scratchinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; their heads, but their fans know where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at. Their street cred is literal, as many of the Three 6 Mafiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s songs are about cars â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and lately they have been able to pimp their rides even more due to their success. Opening for Three 6 Mafia at Wesbild are Vernon area hip hop artists Creative Bloodline, and Dank Stevens as well as Immaculate, TassNata and others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking forward to our upcoming show at Wesbild with Three 6 Mafia. This is gonna be a huge show and we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to rock it,â&#x20AC;? said Creative Bloodlineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MC Leverage (Wes Veitch). With a passion for hip hop and a never-give-up attitude, Leverage along with
Killimatic (Aaron Lawrence) have been spreading Creative Bloodlineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name across western Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underground rap scene. The rappers have been performing together for three years, both locally and across the province, sharing the same stages as D12, Moka Only, Sweatshop Union, Snak The Ripper And Sunspot Jonz from Living Legends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks to some friends we managed to record a track with Mad Child from the Canadian rap legends Swollen Members,â&#x20AC;? said Leverage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The track is called The Hard Way. We recorded it and got some great response on our MySpace page. Within a few days we were seeing it ranking all the way up to number three in Canada on the MySpace charts for unsigned artists.â&#x20AC;? The group have also recorded a track with Swifty from Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s D12, which recently played a show in Vernon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Swifty came to our studio and wrote a verse and recorded it for our debut album. The track is called Ready For Whatever and we have kept it silent for our album release,â&#x20AC;? said Leverage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The studio was a dream that we used to always talk about, and now that we have built it we are putting it to use. We have spent countless hours down there free-
styling and creating new ideas.â&#x20AC;? Creative Bloodline have a 16-track album coming up, and with the beats made by producers Eric Lowry and Rephraze, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna be hot,â&#x20AC;? added Leverage. Calling himself Dank Stevens, Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rory MacLeod hopes 2011 will be his year with the online release of his new album The Formula, featuring both old and new singles as well as some recent collaborations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty excited about the body of work considering the multiple producers and studios,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been busy also sending verses to fellow independent labels for mixtapes and am still pushing tracks on (local producer) Jeff Long to bring to the Europe label. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really feel like 2011 is going to be the year I finally get some serious recognition for all this work. My latest songs have been coming together smoothly and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really feeling like this music is a part of me, not something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to do.â&#x20AC;? Tickets to see Three 6 Mafia, with guests, at Wesbild are $40 in the stands, $50 on the floor and $100 VIP, available at the Ticket Seller in the Performing Arts Centre, www.ticketseller. ca, 250-549-7469, or at Dunas Skate Shop and Pop I.D. in Vernon.

Winfield shows off wares Morning Star Staff
The Lake Country Museum is all fired up for an ancient exhibit of ceramic masterpieces. A compelling collection of historical porcelain and pottery has been brought together for an exhibit at the Lake Country Museum in Winfield. The exhibit opens Saturday and runs to Oct. 20 and includes Chinese porcelain, bisque ware, Staffordshire, Spanish oil jars dating from 1750, Delftware from 1680, Minton from the early 19th century, Chinese ceramics from the Sung Dynasty, and more. One of the high points of the exhibit is the Prince of Wales ice
pail, on loan from the Vernon Museum. Although the ornate porcelain ice pail was originally designed in 1880, to be presented to the Prince o f Wa l e s (Edward VII), owing to its comp l e x i t y, product i o n was not under taken until much later. Plans were changed and it was intended the pail would be dedicated

in honour of Edward VII at the Coronation of Edward VIII in 1937. However, with the abdication of Edward VIII in December, 1936, the pail was never presented. Several years later it landed, with no invoice a t t a ch e d , on the doorstep of professional jeweler Charles Troyer, of Jacques Jewelers in Vernon, B.C. (The full story is available at
the exhibit). Other features include: Japanese pottery and porcelain, 17th and 18th century Chinese porcelain, Aboriginal New World pottery from South America, works from Mexico, including pieces from the famous Mexican potter, Dona Rosa Nieto and her husband and son; and archaic Iranian pottery dating from 2000 BC. “This is the first time the Lake Country Museum has had a themed exhibit,” said curator Dan Bruce. “The majority of the artifacts were requisitioned and are on loan from private collections for the benefit of the public.”

Boundaries important for students DOUG ROGERS For The Morning Star
Welcome back! The start of a new school year is a great time to set or renew boundaries for your kids. A few basic rules are essential to a healthy adult/child relationship. Young adults want and need clear expectations. Today’s teens face a myriad of issues including: peer pressure, drug and alcohol use, fashion, friends… It is crucial, therefore, that parents help their children make healthy and safe decisions. The website www. parentingskills.co.za offers some sage advice with respect to establishing boundaries with your kids. How do you set rules/ boundaries? Use child-friendly language. Use examples from the child’s own life to explain why rules are made. Keep it simple, clear and honest. As the
child gets older you can start to introduce ideas such as personal responsibility and accountability. Remind your child that rules exist to help protect them. Use eye contact. Don’t call out your instructions from another room if you are serious about wanting things done. Wait until you get into the room with the child. Set age-appropriate boundaries. The rules you make should be suitable for your child’s age. For example, you can’t expect a 16 year old to be in bed at 8 p.m. every night. Make sure that what you are asking of your child is fair. Can your young child physically or mentally do what you are asking of him or her? If not, your child will get frustrated and be less likely to listen to you in the future. Mean what you say. Your child must know that you are not making
an empty threat. If you explain what the outcome will be if she does a certain thing, and then don’t act on it, you will have less authority the next time. The message of your body language should be that you have full confidence that your child is going to do what you just said. Don’t nag, lecture or preach. Use one word reminders. Always carry out consequences without emotions and without discussion. Know what your child values. Pay attention to what your child cares most about, for example a toy or a TV programme. Use these things to teach them the consequences of breaking boundaries. Don’t keep changing the rules. Be consistent at all times. Have a few important rules and stick to them. Tips for… 1-6 year olds: Safety rules should be taught
early. Young children learn how to behave when they play with other children. They are also learning how to relate to adults. These kids will copy everything you do, so teach them by doing the right thing. Use examples to explain everything. Stay calm when setting and repeating rules as a scared child does not listen well. 7-12 year olds: At this age, they start to notice that other parents have different boundaries. Explain that each home has its own set of rules and that they should respect rules of the school or other homes when visiting. Set boundaries and rules that are clear and easy to understand. Don’t make too many rules. Teens: Involve them in a family meeting when setting or reviewing rules. Teenagers need some independence, but not too much because
they are at great risk at this stage of their lives. Make yourself clear on matters like dating, sex, parties, drinking and drugs. Praise them for the good choices they have made. Reassuring them that they are smart and responsible can help them to make better choices in their lives as they grow up. Doug Rogers is a substance abuse prevention counsellor for the Vernon School District.
Extra recycling volume expected LACHLAN LABERE Black Press
The Columbia Shuswap Regional District is anticipating the recycling load to go from five to over 50 per cent if Salmon Arm and Sicamous go ahead with curbside garbage and recycling pick up. When that happens, the CSRD is ready to deal with the extra volume as the board voted in favor of building a $200,000 reload station at the Salmon Arm landfill site. The board also voted in favour of entering into an agreement with Metro Waste Paper
Recovery in Kelowna to process the recyclables. Deputy manager of environment and engineering Darcy Mooney told CSRD directors the least expensive option was for the CSRD to operate the reload station (which compacts the recyclables) and haul them to Kelowna. “It makes financial sense to do that work internally,” Mooney said. “The cost to the taxpayer will go down substantially to $16 dollars per year. Currently the cost is 35 per year.” The recycling bins at Bill’s Bottle Depot would
remain there and the contract with the Surrey company, Emterra, is in place until 2015. Mooney said only single family households are in the plan for garbage collection and recycle pickup so the bins are still needed for multifamily dwellings and businesses. Mooney said he expects those bins to be less busy when the recycling program goes ahead. “Fewer hauls result in lower costs for everyone in the region.” Both the reload station and the contract with
Metro are dependent on both Salmon Arm and Sicamous councils going ahead with curbside collection in the spring of 2011.

Reimbursement for HST nearly impossible Don’t bother gathering up all the receipts that show harmonized sales tax you paid on haircuts and restaurant meals, in hopes of getting reimbursed for them a year from now. That’s the advice from Finance Minister Colin Hansen, who says it would be all but impossible to do what former premier Bill Vander Zalm’s anti-HST petition calls on the government to do. The petition’s proposed “HST Extinguishment Act” demands that the old seven per cent provincial sales tax be reinstated retroactive to July 1, 2010, and that B.C. residents be reimbursed “on a per capita basis” for any HST they paid in excess of the provincial tax. Hansen said Tuesday that his government will undo the HST if that is what the people vote to do in a referendum next September, but he has no intention of trying to sort through millions of big and small transactions. “In my opinion it would not be responsible for any government or any legislature to commit to passing the HST Extinguishment Act as it is currently drafted,” Hansen said Tuesday. The anti-HST petition is now scheduled to go to a province-wide referendum on Sept. 24, 2011, in the first use of B.C.’s
15-year-old citizen initiative legislation. Premier Gordon Campbell announced Monday that if the referendum produces a simple majority of voters who want to scrap the HST, that will be done. But it almost certainly won’t be done the way Vander Zalm is demanding, after B.C. residents have paid the HST for 15 months. Sorting through those millions of transactions subject to sales tax would be “extremely difficult,” Hansen said. And then there are the myriad input credits given to businesses under the HST, as well as HST rebate cheques that are now going out quarterly to about one million B.C. residents at the low end of the income scale. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston, who helped collect signatures for Vander Zalm’s petition, said he doesn’t know how the government will refund the HST costs as the petition demands. Ralston suggested an estimate of individual HST costs could be prepared for each of a range of incomes, and one-time refunds paid to everyone in the province. Neither Hansen nor Ralston would venture a guess how much that would cost, but both agreed it would be on top of repaying a $1.6 billion in transition funds to the federal government and rehiring hundreds of

B.C. sales tax collectors who were moved to the federal payroll this year under harmonization. The former provincial tax and the new HST apply equally to many items, and exemptions for basic groceries and other necessities still apply. But a range of services such as hairdressing and gym memberships escaped the old PST, and items such as bicycles and energy-efficient windows had enjoyed provincial exemptions that were lost when B.C. adopted the HST.

'ROUP HELPS TO FIND A WAY THROUGH GRIEF CARA BRADY
Morning Star Staff
Everyone in the group is feeling the pain and they know they are all there for the same reason, to talk about the difficult and emotional time when a loved one dies. Joyce Forslundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband, Bob, died in Hospice House a year ago and Tom Simperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Linda, died there earlier this year. They were both part of the Finding My Way, Coping with Grief group of the North Okanagan Hospice Society last spring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all from your heart what you say in the group and you know that everyone there understands what you are going through. There is a real closeness in the group. Your friends are supportive and they helped me a lot, but they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know unless theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the same experience,â&#x20AC;? said Forslund. People can refer themselves to the group and come at any time after the loss of a loved one, even years afterwards if they feel they have never had the chance to grieve fully. Simper came after one-on-one counseling, but this is optional. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I appreciated being able to talk to Leigh (Van Dyke, Hospice grief counsellor) and then come to the group. You can talk openly in the group and know it is all confidential. You can say things you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say even to your best friends. Each member of the group is walking the same walk and they understand that the loss is incredible,â&#x20AC;? he said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you first go to the group, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to expect but you become close very quickly and understand that what you are going through is natural and normal. I was the only man in the group and I was afraid to take the step at first, I was afraid to cry in public, but soon I felt like all the women in the group were sisters to me.â&#x20AC;? The group has an education component with facilitators and guest speakers on topics relating to grief, including anger, guilt and selfcare. The group also does activities like sharing photographs and stories about their loved ones, writing letters and keeping journals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When someone in the group asked you how you were feeling, you could tell them the truth, bad or not so bad. We cried and laughed together. You learn what to do to help yourself and meet the challenges a little better,â&#x20AC;? said Forslund. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has made me stronger and I did change. Now I can drive home and not cry and accept that there is not going to be anyone in that house.â&#x20AC;? Forslund said she has also been able to accept that life does go on even as people experience the loss of family and friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though it is forever changed, it does go on. I tell people that the group will help them go forward. They will still cry but they will go forward.â&#x20AC;? They agreed that attending the group helped them to be better able to talk to their families
CARA BRADY/MORNING STAR
Tom Simper (left) and Joyce Forslund remember the Finding My Way, Coping with Grief group as an emotional time when the support of others who understood what they were going through helped them with the loss of a loved one. The next session is Oct. 13 to Dec. 1. and to see other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspectives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell people what to do but I did talk to a man who had lost his wife and tell him about how the group helped me and why it was of value and he said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to come,â&#x20AC;? said Simper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what I would have done without the group.â&#x20AC;?
Many of the group members keep in touch by phoning and e-mailing and some meet for coffee. Finding My Way, Coping with Grief runs Oct. 13 to Dec. 1, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Hospice House. There is a $50 fee for materials, with financial assistance available. For more information call Van Dyke at 250-503-1800, e-mail info@nohs.com or see www.nohs.com.
.EW DAD @SIGNS UP FOR A CAREER CHANGE CARA BRADY
Morning Star Staff
Gerry McEachern was a ski bum, working at resorts in Canada and Australia. Then a mountain accident left him with a foot paralyzed, 12 operations and a knee replacement. When he and his wife, Christy, became the parents of sweet Jane, now nine-and-a-half-months, he knew it was time for a change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had been working, against doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orders, bartending but it was hard on my leg and I wanted a job that would let me spend more time with my family,â&#x20AC;? said McEachern, 36. He took some upgrading at Okanagan College, followed by the Certified Education Assistant program and his first courses in American Sign Language. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to work with people, I always enjoyed it at the ski resorts and at the bar and I particularly like kids. I became an uncle when I was 12 and I used to take care of my nieces and nephews. They called it Uncle Gerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Free Range Kid Emporium,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working with kids is so great. I think having the sign language just expands how I can help them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important for kids who are not verbal for any reason to have a way
to communicate.â&#x20AC;? He found that the sign language course was a little intimidating and confusing at first because it was total immersion with the instructor, who was hearing-impaired, teaching all in sign language. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The teacher called me a natural,â&#x20AC;? said McEachern modestly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did find I could pick it up even though it is more complex than I thought it would be. A lot is in the face and body language and context. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The instructor was really cool in how she taught us. It really made me think about the presence we give off and how much we say without words. You really have to be attentive and if you keep going with the class, or with anything, really, it does all fall into place.â&#x20AC;? He worked with children who are nonverbal or have other disabilities in his practicum and over the summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met some pretty amazing kids. This work has such purpose for me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life-affirming.â&#x20AC;? The American Sign Language and Education Assistant and many other certificate programs start this fall at Okanagan College. For more information call 250-545-7291 or see www. okanagan.bc.ca.

Grandview Flats makes history Morning Star Staff
For 100 years, the Grandview Seventhday Adventist Church and North Okanagan Junior Academy have been serving the community. Grandview Church was built in 1910 on land donated by Dan Reiswig and Dan Hirschkorn. The academy began modestly in the church annex, but by 1914 the dedicated pioneers had built a separate church school. Since there were a large number of Germans who attended the church and school, church services and school were presented in both German and English. By the 1920s, Grandview Flats School introduced a school bus built by Joe Glaciar and Jake Reiswig to carry students from Armstrong to the Grandview Flats School. The modern building the school now occupies was built in 1964 and expanded in 1975 to include home economics and woodworking facilities as well as a gym. Recent renovations include a new roof as well as interior lighting upgrades. Later in 1970, when Grandview Seventh-day Adventist Church needed additional parking and better access, Dick and Eleanor Poirier graciously supplied the additional land that was needed. Current Pastor Cameron Koronko is dedicated to delivering the original message of why Grandview Seventh-day Adventist Church was established. “To worship God and bring glory to His name,” he said. “To prepare ourselves and others for the imminent second coming of Jesus Christ, by assisting our fellow man in their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. To take heed and give warning of the third angel’s message”

ATTENTION!
Men living in the Interior of BC Men’s Health – Check us out Children gather at the first school house for the North Okanagan Junior Academy. The school and Grandview Seventh-day Adventist Church celebrate 100 years of serving the community. The first teacher at NOJA was Lydia Stickle. Next came Charles O. Smith in 1912. Many others followed, from Henry Berg and J. Falk in the first separate building in 1914 to Jim Hirschkorn, Dan Murphy and Doris Brandt in the first modern building in 1964. Over the years, many other dedicated teachers have followed in their footsteps. Today, four teachers — principal Marilyn Ilchuk, Sharon Trussell, Roland Pelletier and Dorothy Bogan continue the work the pioneering teachers began. The church and school are celebrating their centennial this weekend, with the theme, “To God be the glory...Lift Him up.” The Friday night speaker will be Lloyd Robinson, BC Conference Education director. Sabbath School will be presented by for-
mer student and teacher Malcolm Graham, and feature former pastor Bob Tetz and former teacher Myrna Tetz for the lesson study. Gordon Pifher, BC Conference president, will deliver the Sabbath message. Vespers will be coordinated by Pastor Brian Hawes, a former student. On Saturday evening, former students and church members will present a program including a PowerPoint presentation on the history of the school and church. All current and former church members, pastors, community, students, teachers and staff are invited to be present for this celebration.

ear Annie: I’ve been married for five years. We’ve been very happy until recently. Last year, my husband spent three days in jail due to a misunderstanding that got out of control. While there, he befriended a fellow inmate, and they exchanged contact information. The inmate has four more years to serve. The problem is, my husband keeps sending him money and care packages. So far, he has spent almost $1,600 on this guy. The inmate once asked for some pricey things from an inmate supply company, which my husband quickly bought. One day, he called and I answered the phone. I told him it was quite nervy of him to order the most expensive items available. He said that he and my husband had an understanding. When I questioned my husband, he claimed he was only helping a “true” friend. I expressed my

in San Pedro Dear San Pedro: It’s possible this inmate protected your husband during his short stint in jail and now Hubby feels indebted. This does not mean the inmate isn’t being manipulative and taking advantage. You can contact the warden at
the correctional facility, although you risk angering your husband. We recommend you start putting aside money that your husband can’t get to and make arrangements to protect yourself when this inmate is released. He could be a danger to you.

Life BIBLE BASICS
Couple cycles for a cause SHIRLEY MALNIS Special to The Morning Star
For the past three years my husband Gerry and I have ridden the Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic (STP) to raise funds for the Wellspring Foundation for Education, an NGO working in Rwanda. Since this is a twoday, 200-mile ride we have put in many hours of training on our tandem bike in and around the Vernon area. We have realized just how beautiful an area we live in as we have cycled the back roads between here and Salmon Arm. This year we asked Wellspring if we could organize a ride here instead of traveling to the States for the STP and they agreed. As a result, we are hosting the Wellspring Lake2Lake Ride Oct. 2 and 3. This inaugural event will provide an opportunity for cyclists to enjoy the beautiful scenery of our area in the context of a supported ride that also has a purpose. Any profits will go towards Wellspring’s projects in Rwanda. Starting from Dutch’s Campground on Oct. 2, cyclists will travel about 115 km on mostly rural, scenic roads via Armstrong and Salmon Arm to Eagle Bay Camp on the shores of Shuswap Lake. After overnighting at Eagle Bay Camp, riders will return 105 km to Vernon via Silver Creek and O’Keefe Ranch. With safety and fun being top priorities, Wellspring Lake2Lake will have St. John Ambulance attendants on site, five rest stations over the 220km (with light snacks/lunch and water provided), volunteers supporting riders with directional signage plus support vehicles en-route. Eagle
The March of the Rainbowed Angel. Rev. 10:1. Time period of Christ’s 2nd coming in the Millenium (1000 yrs.) in response to prayers of the saints, Rev. 6:10. ‘Saints’, hagios, holy ones - the state in which God, calls men causing them to refrain from sin and to live lives of holiness. “The 7th angel sounded...the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of...his Christ.”
in Vernon and $10,500 was raised to enable Wellspring to help the local people build a 16-stall toilet block that won’t wash away with the next rains! The people of Vernon are incredibly generous and so willing to help when they hear of a need. How has Wellspring impacted our lives? A trip to Rwanda to see what is going on: $5,000; being a part of helping a nation get back on its feet after such a devastating thing as the genocide: priceless! We have forever been changed! PHOTO SUBMITTED
Shirley and Gerry Malnis are organizing the Wellspring Lake2Lake Ride Oct. 2 and 3. Bay Camp will provide snacks post-ride, dinner and breakfast with dorm style accommodations. Deadline for registration is Sept. 24. For further information or to register for the ride visit our website at www.lake2lake.org The beginning It all started for us when our family went to Rift Valley Academy in Kenya in 1996 to be dorm parents to 30 Grade 11 and 12 boys for eight months. Jeffery Komant was in our dorm, and when he returned to Canada to go to school we were able to keep in contact with him. He took some time off and spent one and a half years in Rwanda after the genocide. Having grown up in Africa, he was so impressed that the government of Rwanda considered education a priority that when he finished up his degree in international studies he and another classmate founded The Wellspring Foundation for Education. As anyone will tell
This is Kseniya...
you who has been there, there is just something about Africa that gets into your blood (besides malaria!), so when Jeffery shared his plan with us we wanted to be involved, especially since it involved education, a real key to sustainable development. We had an opportunity to be involved in something that could truly help shape a nation’s future! On our first trip we went to help where we could – from organizing donated school supplies and books, to making curtains for the classrooms, to weatherstripping windows so the rain wouldn’t pour in, to running errands, to hands-on construction detail. Now there is a construction crew onsite and Wellspring’s philosophy is to employ as many Rwandans as possible — after all, it is their school. So now we lead vision trips to Rwanda so people can see and hear and feel the new hope that is rising in that country and want to become involved themselves. We have become
ambassadors for Wellspring in the Vernon area and as such, in the last year have overseen several projects, including the compilation of a container of building supplies and school equipment that was shipped out last October. We had the privilege of being on the ground in February when the container was opened and saw the absolute glee on people’s faces when they saw what was inside! As well, the Vernon team was responsible for raising the $43,000 needed for building the sanitation block for the Wellspring Academy high school this spring. It is now completed and ready for the first year of Grade 7 high school students due to start in January. As well, one of the public schools that Wellspring works with lost its toilet facility this spring when it collapsed in the heavy rains, leaving 1,800 students and 29 teachers with only one toilet to use!

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

Moderately Confused
aces are worth closer to four-and-a-half points, your hand really counts to at least 25. You seem to start with nine top tricks: two spades, three hearts (given the lead) and four clubs. However, the club suit is blocked. After cashing your ace and king, you must be able to get into the dummy to collect the queen and jack. What is your only dummy entry? It must come from hearts. Now apply the Rule of Eleven to West’s opening lead. Seven from 11 is four. This means that there are four hearts higher than the seven in the North, East and South hands combined. And you can see all four: dummy’s jack

Bridge by Phillip Alder Yesterday’s deal featured leading the jack from A-K-J-x in hand opposite 10-x-x in the dummy to generate a dummy entry with the 10 (or to be given at least three tricks without losing one). Today’s deal is a variation on that theme. You are in three notrump. West leads his fourth-highest heart, the seven. How would you plan the play? What do you think of your sequence? Taking the second question first, opening two clubs, strong, artificial and forcing, then jumping to three no-trump, promises a balanced hand with 2527 points. You have only 24, but because they are all in aces and kings, you are right to upgrade. Since

and 10, and your ace and king. East cannot have a high heart; West has the queen. So, ignoring the Greek gift, win the first trick with your ace or king, cash your two club winners, and lead a low heart from your hand to gain that dummy entry. Your nine tricks are safe.
