The issue surfaced as a result “Just move it to the next of the Sept. 1 board meeting coinciding Wednesday. We need a policy that supports with opening day of the Interior Provincial communities,” he said. Morning Star Staff
Acton is getting full support from Will Hansma, Spallumcheen director, who says it was a mistake for elected officials not to be at the IPE. “It’s an event that involves the whole North Okanagan and to have an event where dignitaries are invited and then don’t show up, is unfortunate,” said Hansma. Besides how to handle community events, the NORD board is revisiting the time it meets. Some directors have suggested that meetings move from 4 to 2 p.m., but that didn’t go over well with Acton. “Some of us work full-time jobs and meetings take away directly from our pay,” he said.
Hansma wants meetings shifted to 7 p.m. as a way of encouraging residents to attend. “It gives everyone an opportunity to participate. I think it’s wrong to start a meeting before the end of the work day,” he said. But other board members are satisfied with the current meeting time. “It does allow for minimum disruption if people want to attend,” said Doug Dirk, Coldstream director. Dee Wejr, Enderby director, believes major changes to meeting times could negatively impact the regional district long-term. “Making it impossible for people to work and attend meetings will limit who decides to run for office. I don’t like the board limiting who sits on it,” she said.

As a result of the board deciding it doesn’t want a recognition policy, there will be a recommendation Oct. 6 to rescind the current process.

Microchips, technical programs and lab coats don’t always generate a lot of excitement. “That’s science, that’s technical, that’s boring,� said Jay Ingram, co-host of the Discovery Channel’s Daily Planet. But beyond all the technical jargon that can leave the average person puzzled, Ingram’s show delves into the fun and intriguing side of science. “To be scientific you don’t have to be a person in a lab coat,� explained Ingram, during the Municipal Information Systems Association West 2010 Fall Conference at the Wesbild Centre Thursday. For the crowd of municipal IT department leaders and local fans taking in Ingram’s speech, the message was re-assuring that what they do isn’t as boring as some see it. “You aren’t all just geeks,� said Ingram, adding that IT can drive economic development. Bernie Sparrow of E-Comm 911 (the emergency dispatch operation for Greater Vancouver), enjoyed taking in Ingram’s speech. “I really like guys that make science fun because there’s so many people who turn their nose up at science,� said Sparrow.

Ingram also displayed the excitement of science in everything from the lowest road worthy car in the world to an experiment of true snail mail – using snails to deliver emails (they delivered 36 in four weeks, but still had 9,000 to be picked up). There was an experiment on the powers of spiritual healers. They were invited to send their prayers and healing vibes on fungal-infected tomatoes and any improvements were tracked. “The experiment really didn’t work but we had a lot of fun doing it.â€? Perhaps the funnest, and funniest, experiment was a physics demonstration aired on the show. Showing the need for oxygen when flambĂŠeing, the man doing the experiment repeatedly tries to blow fire with a mouthful of alcohol. Ingram’s audience was nearly rolling on the floor in laughter as they watched the man continue to guzzle back the mouth-numbing alcohol, determined to have his experiment work. “Science is all about experiments and sometimes experiments don’t work,â€? said Ingram.

The end of the last school year was not one of celebration for many teachers in the Vernon School District. As a result of budget cuts, 115 teachers received layoff notices in the spring. “Many of those who received notice were on leave, but seniority meant that they fell below what they needed,” said assistant district superintendent Bob Gardner. “But the good news is that all but 16 teachers have been recalled to a position.” Gardner said 28 teachers have been recalled to a position that is less than they are entitled to, and 10 teachers are still on leave but on the recall list. “All in all we have

City rallies behind Kwong RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A local youth’s attempt to honour a hockey legend has been endorsed by city hall. Vernon council has agreed to write a letter of support for Larry Kwong’s induction into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame. The campaign is being led by Gavin Donald, an 11-year-old Silver Star Elementary student. “He’s trying to do what should be done,� said Coun. Patrick Nicol of Donald’s Larry Kwong efforts. “An individual from one generation is trying to help someone from another generation.� Kwong was born in Vernon in 1923 and was a member of the local midget and juvenile hockey teams. “During these times, he often faced discrimination due to his ethnic background, even to the point where he wasn’t able to cross the American border with the team because he was Chinese,� said Donald in a letter to council. He briefly played for the Trail Smokeaters and

then received the call from the New York Rangers in the National Hockey League. He ended up playing in one game for one minute. “The result of this is that Mr. Kwong became the first player of Asian descent to play in the NHL,� said Donald. He later joined the Quebec Senior Hockey League, playing along the likes of Jean Beliveau, Gordie Howe and Maurice Richard. He then pursued the sport in Switzerland and England for 15 years. “Throughout his career Larry often faced discrimination and stereotyping while pursuing his dreams. He always represented Vernon, B.C. and Canada with dignity and honour,� said Donald. Nicol believes Kwong opened the doors for others to enter professional sport and as a result, he should be officially recognized. “Larry Kwong was pretty significant when you look at the timeframe post-Second World War,� said Nicol.

North Okanagan-Shuswap school trustees are getting a raise. A majority of the board decided Tuesday to approve a two per cent increase in remuneration based on the consumer price index. Trustee Teresa Hebert supported the move and said that remuneration didn’t change for years. “If we don’t keep up with costs then it will eliminate some people’s ability to run.� The salary for chairperson goes from $11,811 to $12,047 while it increases from $10,393 to $10,951 for the vice-chairman. Trustees will see their remuneration climb from $9,353 to $9,855. This decision will mean a net increase of $1,803 to the district. The board has also passed a motion that trustees receive payment for travel expenses when attending meetings as part of their duties. Secretary-treasurer Bruce Hunt said the motion is passed every year as a matter of public transparency.

REGIONAL DISTRICT OF NORTH OKANAGAN
WATER MAIN FLUSHING NOTICE The Regional District of North Okanagan - Greater Vernon Water in conjunction with the City of Vernon and District of Coldstream Operations will proceed with the annual water main flushing program over the next few months. What is water main flushing? The water utility flushes water mains to remove sediment and reduce the build up that accumulates in the mains. The process also helps to remove stagnant water and water that has deteriorated at dead ends. This annual process helps to improve water quality for public health. How are customers affected during water main flushing? While crews are flushing in your area, you may notice an increase in sediment or discoloration of the water and a reduction in water pressure. What should customers do when water main flushing occurs in their area? • Try to refrain from using water when flushing is in progress to reduce impact on household water systems. • Customers may choose to store enough water for one day if it is considered necessary. • Should you choose to run water when water main flushing is in your area you may choose to boil or not drink the water and use a safe alternative. Water intended for the following uses should be boiled for one minute: • Drinking • Making beverages or ice • Washing fruits and vegetables • Brushing teeth • We strongly advise you to check your water before doing any water related household work and refrain from doing laundry. Once flushing is complete it may be necessary to run an outside tap until water clears. • Signs will be posted in most areas when flushing is in progress. Please drive carefully where operation crews are working. Greater Vernon Water is taking additional measures to reduce risk and a notification will be updated as flushing program progresses. If you have any questions, please contact Greater Vernon Water at 250-550-3700. Contact: Renee Clark, Water Quality Manger Greater Vernon Water, RDNO E-mail: info@rdno.ca • Website: www.rdno.ca

District seeks material funds KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
With full-day kindergarten now in place at several schools, the Vernon School District needs funding to provide the materials and resources teachers need in the classroom. Trustees have adopted a capital project bylaw for the spending of $165,000 to assist in the implementation of full-day kindergarten. “Kindergarten has started so I’ve already spent the money, so now we need to pay for all the great things we’ve bought,” said Randy Hoffman, secretary-treasurer. The money has not been spent in areas such as renovations to classrooms, rather it is used for resources for the room itself. Each school was given $5,000 to spend on what it wished in order for teachers to set up the kinder-
garten, from play centres to learning materials. “There will still be some money left and it will go to the kindergartens in October, because we don’t know if we’ll have to add another classroom,” said Joe Rogers, director of instruction. “But the money is not going to make any physical changes.” Bev Rundell, district superintendent, said kindergarten students have had a gradual entry into school, so at this point it’s difficult to say what full-day kindergarten will look like as the year progresses. “There is lots of excitement and the teachers have been working with Joe Rogers,” she said. Full-time kindergarten is in place at Alexis Park, Cherryville, Ellison, Harwood, J.W. Inglis, Lavington, Mission Hill and Okanagan Landing elementary schools.

REGIONAL DISTRICT OF NORTH OKANAGAN MEDIA RELEASE –
Regional District of North Okanagan Greater Vernon Water Utility Duteau Creek Water Treatment Plant
COLDSTREAM, BC – The Regional District of North Okanagan is pleased to announce the commissioning (startup) of the Duteau Creek Water Treatment Plant.

A wake-up call
J
ust a number of tidbits to offer this week as my mind doesn’t seem quite capable of focusing on one topic long enough to sustain an entire column.... .....maybe I should have another coffee and that would help. Some guy on Canada AM this morning, he was dressed like a doctor so I’m assuming he was one, says the benefits of caffeine are also proving beneficial for one’s long-term health. Apparently two cups a day, and even three is better, can ward off strokes and help with neuron activity in the brain. OK. Makes sense. We all knew we got a little buzz and jump from java in the a.m. That’s why we Glenn Mitchell enjoy it every morning, and yes sometimes two or three times. However, I’m pretty sure most of us thought, as we were previously told, it was bad for us. You know, that’s why they came up with decaf and people tried to break their caffeine habit. Well, apparently, and seemingly more and more with these types of things, they (whoever they are) were wrong and what’s true is exactly the reverse of what you thought and were told previously. Now I’ve always suspected this was the case as I have a healthy skepticism about any study that proclaims something is good or bad for you, cause you know what, next year it will be the opposite. Like in Woody Allen’s Sleeper when he wakes up in the future and finds out health food is bad for you. However, let’s go with today’s proclamation as the gospel cause it fits in with my lifestyle. And if you start your day with a coffee and cigarette, at least one of your guilty pleasures has been upgraded to a healthy lifestyle choice. However, I don’t think any study will ever help you with the other one..... .....I don’t know if there’s been any studies on what I call the-last-song-you-hear-on-the-radio-
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
in-the-morning syndrome but gol’ darn it there should be. I caution morning deejays (or music directors) about what they play in the a.m. as I head to work because no matter what the last song is when I park my truck and trudge off to work, the tune stays in my head all day long. And that’s the case whether I hate the song or love it, so please choose carefully. This morning it was Tainted Love by Soft Cell. A perfectly fine one-hit wonder from the 80s that I can appreciate but after having it cycle around in my head for the last two hours or so, basically at will, I’m ready to spit. Now that likely says something more about my brain power and its inability to focus, or maybe I shouldn’t have had that fourth cup of coffee (but did you hear, it’s good for you now?). Still I think there’s enough here to warrant a study of some kind and maybe the CRTC can look into it too. I mean if they can legislate Canadian content maybe they can look into this syndrome too. I can give them a list of songs to start with to prove it exists. Hey, coffee’s on me.... .......speaking of C’s, Roberto Luongo no longer has one. Actually he never did because as goalie he wasn’t allowed to wear one on his Vancouver Canucks jersey, but they named him captain anyway in a move that reeked of a publicity stunt and finally was apparent to everyone, including Canuck management, that it was silly and a bad idea in the first place. And don’t try not having a captain either. Montreal tried that with very mixed results. Just give it to a Sedin, any, either or both, and move on....... .....speaking of moving on. I understand gas is 10 cents cheaper in Enderby. Let’s hope it’s a sign of things to come in these parts, especially considering the market plunge of late for the substance. Now I just have to find a way to include Enderby in my morning commute. I don’t know. I’d have to get up earlier, drink even more coffee and who knows how that would affect what song’s on the radio when I get to work in the a.m. Too risky.
Politicians are elected to meet and make decisions on behalf of their constituents, but another equally important goal is to represent their communities and take part in events that are significant to residents. Unfortunately, the latter part of those duties were completely abandoned when the North Okanagan Regional District board gathered Sept. 1. Yes that was the regular meeting date, but it was also the first day of the 111th annual Interior Provincial Exhibition. To mark the North Okanagan’s largest festival, it is customary that the region’s elected officials are invited to take part in a reception and opening ceremony. The staff and volunteers who make the IPE happen put a lot of work into ensuring the dignitaries are acknowledged. However, because of never-ending debate at the NORD table, most of the local politicians never got to the fair. That quite frankly was disrespectful and sent a poor message to two of NORD’s member communities — Armstrong and Spallumcheen. Directors will now contemplate how to handle future situations like this, but the solution is an easy one. If there is an event that is considered significant to the region as a whole or one of the member jurisdictions, the board meeting can either be held earlier in the day or moved to another day. There’s no question that the people’s business must go on and that means bylaws and building permits can’t be ignored. But civic pride and being active in the community also go along with the job.

Voting change deserves input
T
his letter is to address the article in The Morning Star entitled: “Recall dashed, but shorter terms sought.” The North Westside Ratepayers Association (NWRA) too has concerns that civic terms could be extended from three to four years. If you recall, civic terms at one time were two years and were subsequently extended to three-year terms. Although much of the work of the task force for local elections sponsored by the Ministry of Community Development has been positive, it has made a recommendation to extend terms for civic leaders to four years from three years. The NWRA is opposed to tenure for civic politicians going from three years to four years without direct public input or vote. Four-year terms without recall provisions is unacceptable. We realize there could be some monetary savings as there would be fewer elections; however, the result could be unwanted politicians for four years without any applicable recall legislation. To quote Councillor Patrick Nicol: “This is a slam-dunk
TRANSIT NEEDED I was saddened to see that employment centres are slated to close in Armstrong and Enderby as I agree with Dee Wejr that people in all communities need access to services. At the same time, I was shocked at the comment “You can’t just hop on the bus. Well, why not? As I recall, Vernon was happy to contribute significant money to fund an increase in bus service between communities in the valley that would indeed let people hop on the bus to access not just employment services but also jobs, training, community events etc; while the smaller communities were not. Improved transit would help people who cannot or do not wish to drive for whatever reason. Transit gives independence and dignity to a broad section of the community by letting them get around on their own. If there is a bus, there is no need to ask mom or dad for a ride to the first aid course in Vernon, no need to buy a car or motor bike to commute to a job in Armstrong, no need to ask a neighbour for a ride to the hospital for tests. Our society seems to assume everyone has a car or that all services have to be next door which is simply not reasonable.
by the insiders. The public didn't have any input.” Councillor Spier's attempt to have his colleagues push the government for a mechanism so voters could remove a civic leader they are unhappy with midway through a term is also commendable. At the conclusion of this meeting, the City of Vernon voted to urge the provincial government not to change the terms for municipal positions from three to four years, while the prospect of voters recalling mayors or councillors did not get support. Do the taxpayers of the province want terms for civic elections extended to four years? Should there be recall provisions for local politicians? Obviously, it is far easier to not vote a candidate back into office than to effect a recall. Residents of B.C. need to know this initiative is headed to the Legislature in the spring to enable civic elections for November 2011 be extended to four years. Ensure your concerns are made known to your MLA. Allastair Fergusson, director North Westside Ratepayers Association
As a province, we cannot afford to provide all government services locally and even if we could it would not address the larger issue of transport to all the other things essential to a full and interesting life like work, education, family, friends and leisure. Maybe it is time for communities and individuals to rethink transport and hop on the bus! Rose Harryman GREAT CARE Re: Patient Questions Conditions at VJH - Aug. 15. Last February, I took my wife, Margaret who was very ill to the emergency department at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Having heard many derogatory stories about the emergency services, we were expecting less than ideal service but things turned out quite the opposite to our expectations. The response was prompt and everyone we made contact with was efficient, polite and sympathetic. I was greatly impressed by the professionalism and kindness shown by all the staff under trying circumstances. This is not an attempt to refute the situation experienced by the letter writer, but I do want to point out that conditions are not always
like those which she had to endure. There are many good people working and doing their level best to cope with situations which put both patients and professionals under stress and we salute them. John Montgomery HIRE LOCAL As a small community, we are always encouraged to support local businesses and local farmers. Shop local. I know that there are many of our local businesses that support our local community functions and our local community minor sports. I would like you all to ask our Armstrong city council, Spallumcheen council members and our local parks and recreation commission members why they are spending our money on a management company from Vancouver and managers from Coldstream and Kelowna, who do not shop local or support our minor sports programs, to run our local, small community parks and rec. I know there are people locally who have applied and are qualified and contribute to our community in many ways that have not even been given the opportunity by this Vancouver-based company. It's time we all approach our
"local" councils and commission and tell them it is time to put "our" money back where it belongs — locally. Bruce Booth HOSPITAL CONCERNS I too have been to the emergency room with a broken wrist where I stood against a wall waiting for some sort of help. The overcrowding was unreal. I was told I was fast-tracked. I would hate to see critical. After three hours of standing, I was put in a room the size of a postage stamp with 10 other people. After 12 hours, I was finally put on an IV, taken to a surgical floor and left alone. I was finally given a a pain med. By then, I was going into a sort of shock and finally operated on at 1 a.m. At no time was I asked if I needed water or some sort of medication. The surgeon was wonderful and alarmed at my blood pressure which was 205 over 90. Again, no one took my pressure until 12 or so hours had passed. I will not go to this hospital to be treated. In fact, lately my mom who receives treatment has had two blood tests erroneously done and a series of X-rays, that had to be redone.

Seniors’ housing takes shape Morning Star Staff
If you have recently driven along Glencaird Street in Lumby, you can’t help but notice all of the digging going on. Site work is underway and the modular units that will form Monashee Place will soon be moved on to the property. “Monashee Place is a seniors’ rental housing facility which encourages independent living for seniors on a limited income aged 55-plus and for older people with disabilities,” said Judy Gibbs, Lumby and District Senior Housing Society chairperson. “The federal and provincial governments are partnering in funding this creative initiative which is enabling seniors to remain in their community comfortably and safely for as long as possible.” There will be 16 onebedroom units available for rent, and each unit is 600-square-feet in size. They will include wider doorways and living area for wheelchairs. All are ground level

Vernon Steps Out all the way to the Hawaiian Islands with a new fitness program that lets participants log in their steps as they learn about the islands. What makes this program different is that while it starts as a walking program, there is a way to convert other activities to steps and add them to the total. So swimming, crosscountry skiing, curling, hockey, pickle ball (a cross between tennis and badminton) and a total of 75 activities can be counted. The Steps Out interactive program was developed by Edis Computers of Penticton with maps and wellness pages. More than 800 people take part in the program in Penticton. “People can buy a membership at the recreation centre or Wesbild Centre which will allow them to access the Vernon Steps Out website. They will also receive a pedometer and free admittance to the fall wellness speaker series,” said Deb Treherne, recreation programmer, who co-facilitates the program with recreation programmer, Mike Knights. Participants can enter their names for a draw for a $1,000 travel voucher courtesy of Edis Computers for every 100,000 steps walked. Some people have already started the walk but people are invited to join in at any time. Participants can also

The new Coldstream Elementary School moves ever closer to its opening date, with students and staff expected to be in the school by Thanksgiving. The project completion date for commissioning is Sept. 26, said Randy Hoffman, Vernon School District secretarytreasurer. “That date may be extended as a result of the work to achieve the targets for effective operation of the mechanical systems and/or the decisions of the District of Coldstream to grant an occupancy permit,” he said. “We’re looking to receiving the keys and then with students actively involved in learning just after Thanksgiving.

Even though school is not in session, we still have people who need to be paid, so I want to thank all these people who make us look good.” At Vernon Secondary School, the tender for construction of the new school is set to close

Neighbours not keen on trail
TimLimi e O ted ffe r!!
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Preserving land for a future trail is running into some opposition. The Ribbons of Green Trails Society has proposed that the City of Vernon set aside a right-of-way for a path as part of rezoning 12 properties along Okanagan Landing Road and next to the airport. However, that isn’t going over well with some of the landowners. “I don’t get why they want to access all of these private properties,” said Doug MacAuley during a recent public hearing at city hall. MacAuley added that such a project could be costly and there is already a hiking and biking trail in front of the homes on Okanagan Landing Road. “To put a trail on the back of the properties makes no sense to me.” Others expressed concerns about a negative impact on property values and allowing criminal activities to border their property. “To just grab land and say we’ll stick a creek trail there doesn’t seem right,” said Brad Wise. The Ribbons of Green Trails Society isn’t calling for a trail to be constructed now, just for the land to be set aside. “All we are asking for is that right-of-way to be surveyed,” said president Dave Smith. The society believes that a trail could eventually link Kin Beach with Clarence Fulton Secondary. “It’s a key corridor,” said Smith, adding that the proposal has the support of the city’s advisory planning board. Rob Sawatzky, a society member, says studies indicate that trails don’t negatively impact adjacent properties. “Property that borders a trail or green space increases in value five to seven per cent,” he said. If approved, rezoning would see the 12 properties go from airport industrial to rural residential. The properties had been previously zoned residential but were switched to industrial status in 2004 because of future expansion of the airport. However, the 2008 review of the official community plan determined that land on the south side of Vernon Creek was not required for further expansion of the airport because property north of Tronson Road has been obtained for growth at the airport. “Rezoning would bring them into a legally conforming state,” said Dean Strachan, a city planning assistant. Rezoning requires a final decision from city council.

Student count on track, so far RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A week into the school year, and enrolment in the North Okanagan-Shuswap is virtually bang-on. Currently, the district is down 169 students from last September and is sitting at 6,326 in elementary and secondary. Doug Pearson “One bright light is the projection for kindergarten was 441 and that’s up from 365 in the past,” said superintendent Doug Pearson.
“That provides us with a base for future years.” With each student generating about $5,500 in funding from the Ministry of Education, having a stable projection benefits the district’s bottom line. “We still have to be careful. We have to consolidate programs and we do that each year,” said Pearson. Elementary numbers across the district are only down 29 students more than last year, with the big drop at the secondary level. Overall enrolment is up in both Armstrong and Sorrento. “In terms of Armstrong, as the new four-lane highway goes through there,
maybe it’s a place where Vernon people want to move because it’s rural. They can still commute to work,” said Pearson. Community growth is also leading to more students in Sorrento. “More services are appearing and it’s a desirable place to be,” said Pearson. The number of students in Enderby and Grindrod has remained relatively stable, but enrolment is down in Sicamous and Malakwa. The situation in Falkland is also a concern. “We thought we’d pick up more students from Westwold but we didn’t because they (another district) chose to go have a small primary class there,” said Pearson.

People continue to live on the street and that has social agencies trying to address those needs. Partners in Action, which represents a number of Vernon organizations, will conduct a survey in October to determine if the homelessness strategy is working. “We want to know where the challenges and gaps still are,” said Annette Sharkey, coordinator. “We want to know what we do well and what we could do better.” The goal of the strategy is to put people in contact with services that may help them get off the street. As part of the process, a census of homeless residents will be conducted. “The number of campers we’ve been finding is going down,” said Sharkey, adding that is a surprise given the state of the economy. Partners In Action is also establishing new teams to address other issues, such as increased demand for the food bank and income assistance, as well as working with local churches on providing food services. “We have hundreds of people involved in these action teams,” said Sharkey. Another focus is trying to establish a transitional facility for
the community,” said Sharkey, who says the program for some women could be two years in length. One of the challenges, though, is there isn’t provincial funding to construct a new facility. “Maybe there’s a building that could be rented,” said Sharkey.

Ladies raise $75,000 JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
In an attempt to Tee Off for the Cure, a highly popular, and highly pink event scored a hole in one. The eighth annual Wine, Women and Woods hit its fundraising goal perfectly during last weekend’s event at the Vernon Golf and Country Club. “We raised enough to cover the cost of the digital diagnostic equipment specific to breast cancer,” said Dee Paterson, chairperson of the event. “It’s worth $75,000 and we raised $75,000.” Those funds have gone directly to purchase the piece of equipment (called a Faxitron), which will benefit women throughout the North Okanagan. “It’s on order and it will be in
Vernon Jubilee Hospital shortly,” said Paterson. “And it’s the only one outside of Vancouver.” The state-of-the-art X-ray machine will be used to diagnose in the mammography unit and operating rooms. It will be an invaluable tool to serve women of the Interior. Along with the success of reaching their goal, Paterson says everything, from the weather to the music (provided by the Neil Fraser Quartet) and costumes to auctions, went wonderfully. “The whole event was a wonderful success,” said Paterson. Prior to this year’s event, Wine, Women and Woods has raised $340,000 for the B.C. region of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. All of those funds have gone towards a future without breast cancer.

Rolling out support for United Way, the Vernon Lawn Bowling Club is hitting the greens for its longest stretch yet. Members of the club have decided to make full use of their lighted greens in Polson Park with a 24 hour Bowl-athon Saturday. VLBC members will be rounding up pledges in support of United Way of North Okanagan Columbia Shuswap. In exchange for the community’s support, bowlers take to the park relay-style starting noon Saturday until noon Sunday. “So if you see the lights on in Polson Park on the night of the 25th you’ll know why,” said Linda Yule, executive director of the local United Way. Yule, who will also be taking part in the Bowla-thon, said the idea came out of an evening game at the club. “When the lights came on they said, ‘hey, we should get some use out of these lights.’” Dawn Perkins, VLBC member, added: “Hey we could do this all night long.” That’s how the idea was born. “It’s mostly for our club but certainly we always welcome new guests to join us,” said Perkins. Although many view lawn bowling as a sport taken up by only the grey-haired population, Vernon’s club proves that theory wrong as its youngest member is 16-year-old Jeremy Woo.

Bowlers Jim Burns, Christine Pilgrim, Danny Loo and Walter Ostheimer limber up for the 24 hour Bowl-a-thon Sept. 25 in support of United Way. “It’s not just for old folks,” said Yule, a spry woman in her 50’s who bowls with her husband. “So we’re trying to get more young people involved.” Lawn bowling is also a sport that requires some mastery. “There’s a lot of skill involved,” said Yule, explaining that the balls are not round therefore they curl around on you. Perkins, who was instantly hooked to the sport when her husband introduced her, adds: “It’s a bit like curling, a bit like bocce.” So with their fingers crossed for favourable weather, bowlers are eager to put their skill to good use. “I think we’ve set ourselves quite a challenge with the weather,” said Perkins, adding that the event wraps up just before the club’s regular Sunday afternoon bowling.
“We’ll see what kind of shape we’re in.” Spectators are welcome to come cheer on bowlers and pledges are being collected to support United Way. “We’re supporting over 30 local programs
and what’s raised here stays here,” reminds Yule. For more information, to donate or possibly take part, contact Yule at 250-549-1346, Perkins at 250-260-1031, or call the VLBC at 250542-0212.
All members of the Society and interested general public are invited to attend. To inquire about becoming a member, or for more information please contact us at 250-862-2437 or visit our website at www.livingpositive.ca

Gustav (Gus) and Katharina (Kate) Columbus of Vernon celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary this year. They were wed Sept. 2, 1950.
Gus and Kate celebrate 60 years Sept. 2, 2010 marked the 60th wedding anniversary of Gustav (Gus) and Katharina (Kate) Columbus of Vernon. To celebrate this momentous occasion, two functions were held. On Aug. 21, there was a family luncheon with all six children present as well as spouses, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Among others present, there were two people who were in attendance at Gus and Kate’s wedding in 1950: Sophie Miller (Kate’s sister) and Alfred Columbus (a brother to Gus). The celebration included a good time of fellowship, plenty of food, the congratulatory speeches and recitals by various family members. On Sept. 2, an open house was held at the home of their eldest daughter, Margaret, in honour of Gus and Kate’s special day. It
was a wonderful time of reminiscing of days gone by with old friends and new, while enjoying refreshments and cake. Gus and Kate were married Sept. 2, 1950 in Walsrode, Germany. Six months later, they were on their way to Canada and settled first in Winnipeg. Shortly afterwards, they moved to Kelowna and over the next several years they lived in various places in British Columbia. Eventually, the couple settled in Vernon, where they have lived for close to 50 years. Gus was a bricklayer by trade and spent most of his working years as a manager of a masonry building outlet. He was also a great fisherman, something he loved to do in his leisure. Kate managed the home affairs, which included looking after the
children and cooking amazing meals. Gus and Kate were blessed with six children: Charles, Edward, Margaret, Elizabeth, Marilyn and Gordon. They have 11 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. Together with spouses of the children and grandchildren, this family now totals 43. Over the years, the couple had the opportunity to travel to many places around the world. Gus and Kate also spent a significant part of their retirement years as snowbirds, enjoying the warm and dry climate of Arizona. Presently, they are staying closer to home in Vernon, and continue to be grateful for the love they have shared over the last 60 years together. Whenever possible, they enjoy visiting with family and friends. They take each day as a blessing from God.

Bureau helps seniors to navigate pensions Morning Star Staff
Most people plan for retirement in some way with pension plans, and simply by working they are paying into the Canada Pension Plan. Most people over 65 who meet the residence requirements receive the Old Age Security Pension. “You hear from Service Canada about your important upcoming date when you are 64 and you should fill out the applications so that you start to get your pension when you want it and don’t miss any benefits,” said Dayle Drury, manager of SIRB (Seniors Information Resource Bureau). “The process can be intimidating. We had a man come in here who was 70 and had not had his CPP or OAS because he did not know how to apply. He was isolated and a family member had been taking care of his basic needs.” SIRB and Service Canada offices have the forms available and SIRB will help with filling them out. People need their social insurance number and birth certificate or proof of citizenship to fill out the forms. The forms should be filled out about six months before people want to
start receiving the pensions. There are also forms for low-income seniors who will receive other benefits such as assistance with shelter costs and the guaranteed income supplement. It is important to file an income tax form each year, as benefits are based on this information. “We have some people come in who need help with the forms, don’t know how to or can’t afford replacement documents and some who have language barriers which make it difficult to fill out the forms. Some do not know what they or their spouses or partners are eligible for. If they come into the office, we can call Service Canada for them and get answers for them,” said Drury. She is commissioner for taking affidavits to certify the paperwork needed for applications. Drury sometimes sees people who have problems with paperwork and finances when a spouse has died. Some people have retired and have to go back to work but need help with dental work or glasses to be able to work. “People have no idea what it’s like
when you are no longer working. You have to redo your whole financial picture to live within your means and those means can be very limited,” she said. “Pensions don’t change to reflect the real cost of living. Yet with a little help, seniors can continue to be independent. “We know people in their 90s who live in their own homes but need some help. The community needs to be more innovative about helping people in their homes with dignity and respect.” Drury finds the questions that come into SIRB are varied, as people may not have family or friends nearby to help them. She advises people find out what they need to do to prepare for retirement, including how it will affect their family, and getting a will and power of attorney in place. “What we do here is look for answers and help people investigate their options. Out volunteers who work here are knowledgeable and they love being able to make a difference for others.” For more information about pensions call SIRB at 250-558-0040 or Service Canada at 1-800-277-9914.

Time for seniors to take action
W
ell I guess summer is done and has left us with a bittersweet regret for those long, hot, sunshiny days and a chill of apprehension at the approach of winter. In the meantime we can enjoy the beauty and lushness of this harvest time and the golden days of autumn. The farmers’ markets are full of lush, ripe, produce and colourful crafts Pat Black and are crowded and busy with citizens taking advantage of the bounty of the Okanagan. We are very lucky to live in such a place of abundance. In the meantime it’s back to business. Kids are back to school. Vacations are done and multiple meetings are once again on the agenda. Speaking of meetings, I know they may seem boring and dull sometimes but I want to urge all seniors in Vernon to get involved. We are so good at complaining, but if we don’t work to change things, it won’t happen. And meeting with others and planning what we can do to make changes and then taking the planned action necessary
PERSONAL BEST
to accomplish it, is how it does happen. There are many opportunities to get involved for seniors such as the Seniors Action Committee which meets the second Tuesday of each month at People Place at 10 a.m. and looks at issues such as affordable housing, transportation, health issues and community care that effect the quality of life for all seniors. Many improvements in this city have been made for seniors and are still being worked on by this group comprised of seniors and community representatives. A few weeks ago, the Falls Prevention Program and the Independent Living Centre hosted a meeting for seniors with disabilities to focus on the problem of the long waiting list for the Taxi Saver program that was available for people registered with handiDART. About a dozen people got together to wrestle with the problem of a limited budget and 137 disabled citizens who are waiting to be eligible for this service, while 276 people, who are already registered, enjoy the benefits. The group came up with recommendations that will be delivered to BC Transit and the Transportation Demand Management Committee of the City of Vernon that hopefully will generate some action for change. The Okanagan Science Centre will
hold two free workshops for seniors and others in the community. Aging Well: New Ideas for All Round Health and Well-Being will take place on Tuesday, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. with lunch provided. Dr. Mary An Murphy, associate professor at UBC Okanagan, will talk about a number of practice and policy issues that affect the health and well-being of older adults and explore the secrets of longevity. The second workshop is Are Youth Today Really So Different? on Sept. 30, from 7 – 9 p.m. This workshop conducted by Leigha Horsfield will look at those impossible-to-understand 12 to 30 year old group that is known as Generation Y and try to help us to understand their values and expectations. Dessert and coffee will be provided. Please call 250545-3644 to register. Check out the website www.okscience.ca for more information. The City has a wonderful brochure called Who Ya Gonna Call?, a very helpful booklet that gives us a list of Vernon services and phone numbers that range from Animals Distressed and Animals Deceased, Home Owner Grants and Odour Issues, up to Water Leaks on Roadways and everything else in between. You can get your free copy at City Hall. If you have any comments or questions please contact me at 250-542-7928 or e-mail blackmail1@telus.net
Network responds to the needs of the community Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan Community Response Network (CRN) hosted a table at the Sunshine Festival this summer in recognition of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day where “Shining a Light: Seniors Living in dignity: became the call to action.” The North Okanagan CRN is committed to providing a safe foundation for the community as a whole, to work together as a team on an equal playing field, sharing responsibility to ensure that people are treated with respect, dignity and caring throughout their lives. Anyone who is concerned about adult abuse and neglect can become a member of the local CRN, including: individuals who have experienced abuse
or neglect; individuals who are concerned about someone who has such a family or friend; community organizations such as advocacy groups, churches, volunteer and support groups, cultural and/or service club members; health, justice, financial, social service organizations such as spousal assault programs, home support, family servic-
es, victim services, legal services, physicians, senior citizen councillors, associations for community living, seniors peer councillors; government ministries and regional programs such as health authorities, police, Ministry of Children and Families. Guardianship legislation requires by law that designated agencies must respond and/or
investigate allegations of abuse and/or neglect of vulnerable adults. Those designated agencies work closely with the local CRN. CRN meetings resume at Schubert Centre, Sept. 24, 10 a.m. to noon and meet every other month at the centre. New members are welcome. Please contact Drury at 250-545 8572 for information

Knights outgun Border Bruins Morning Star Staff
STEVE KIDD/BLACK PRESS
Centreman John Knisley (right) cuts in on Penticton netminder Joel Rumpel to score for the Vipers in B.C. Hockey League play Friday night at South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton. Knisley earned first star, helping the Vipers to a 3-2 decision.
Vipers roll Vees for first win Morning Star Staff
Coaches Mark Ferner and Jason Williamson pushed the Vernon Vipers pretty hard at practice this week. It wasn’t meant as punishment for losing their opening B.C. Hockey League games last weekend, but rather an opportunity to learn and improve. The Snakes responded with their first win of the season Friday night at South Okanagan Events Centre, clipping the Penticton Vees 3-2 before 1,423 fans. “It’s good for our guys confidencewise. We talked about the fact we had a tough couple games... and probably deserved a better fate,” said Williamson. “We’re grooming these kids to be how we want them to be each and every shift, every time they jump over the boards.” John Knisley, a Pittsford, NY product who is committed to Cornell
University, opened the scoring for Vernon at 6:57 of the first period. “He just took the puck at the neutral zone and didn’t stop moving his feet until the puck went in the net,” said Williamson. “He’s a young kid, but he’s put together for a small guy, and he doesn’t back away.” Trevor Fitzgerald made it 2-0 less than a minute later, banging home a greasy goal during a scramble in front of netminder Joel Rumpel (20 saves). Joey Holka connected on the powerplay later in the period to pull Penticton within a goal. After a scoreless second period, Vernon’s Dylan Walchuk struck early in the third, tapping in a backdoor feed from Marcus Basara for his second of the season. Vernon’s Adam Thompson and Kyle Murphy, both 20, returned from
injury reserve Friday night. “Adam has been here three years and knows how he’s got to be and we can rely on him to take some heavy minutes,” said Williamson. “Murph is going to be very good for us. He’s a kid that played the game at a high level. He was a difference maker last night.” Defenceman Malcolm Lyles, 20, sat out with an upper-body injury. Taylor Love dressed in his place and responded with some solid hits. The Vees pulled Rumpel for an extra attacker late in the game, scoring on Blake Voth (23 saves) with six seconds remaining. Referee Nick Swaine called just four penalties all game, handing each team two minors. The Vipers completed their homeand-home with the Vees Saturday night at Wesbild. Vernon hosts the Merritt Centennials Tuesday night at Wesbild before heading out on a four-game road schedule.
Last year, it took the North Okanagan Knights nine games to record their first Kootenay International Junior Hockey League win. Just two weeks into the 2010-11 campaign, and the North Okanagan crew is 2-2 and sitting mid-pack in the Okanagan/ Shuswap Conference. The Knights, backstopped by a 28-save, third-star showing from netminder Chris Solecki, tamed the Grand Forks Border Bruins 5-3 Friday night at Grand Forks Arena. With the game tied 3-3 midway through the third period, the Knights capitalized on a key 5-on-3. Shawn Holliday buried a backdoor pass from Sean Mulcahy to ice the game, giving North Okanagan their secondstraight win. T.J. Dumonceaux, a 16-yearold Kelowna product, added an insurance marker with 21 seconds remaining, burying a nice feed from Eric Chore. “We’re pleased with the way we finished the game. We just played a real mature, veteran style of game in the last 10 minutes of the third period to preserve the win,” said Knights’ head coach Sylvain Leone. “We ended up getting some of our best offensive opportunities... when we were trying to shut them down. It was a fun 10 minutes of hockey to watch.” Leone has been pleasantly surprised by Dumonceaux, who plays on an all-rookie line with brothers Eric and Patrick Chore and leads the Knights with a goal and five assists. “He has been a very pleasant surprise. We always liked his skating coming into camp.
He’s got tremendous speed, he moves the puck and he’s very unselfish and defensively he’s very responsible. “With him and the two Chore brothers, you’ve got a line that’s not particularly big, that’s all rookie, but there’s a high hockey IQ. “For the last couple shifts of the game there they had them hemmed in with no chance of getting out. They spent the last five minutes in their zone.” Leone added the Knights’ special teams – 5-for-5 on the penalty kill and 2-for-6 on the powerplay – was the difference in the game. Bruins’ captain Randy Tosoff earned a game misconduct just over a minute into the game, and the Knights went right to work with the man advantage as Michael Keyes ripped a low shot through traffic to open the scoring at 1:24. Tied 1-1, Laine Keyes walked out from the corner and fired top corner, short side to beat netminder Ryan Ryman (29 saves) to finish the first-period scoring. “He’s been a great leader for us, a tremendous role model,” said Leone, of Keyes. The Bruins raced ahead again in the second period as first star Nick Van Damme (2G) scored at 9:20, but the Knights’ Colin Minardi, coming off the bench, corralled a pass from Dumonceaux and wired a shot top shelf late in the frame. The Knights visited the Beaver Valley Nitehawks Saturday night. They host the KIJHL champion Revelstoke Grizzlies Friday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre in Armstrong.

REMEMBER…
to Service your Furnace this Fall!
Taylor good and lucky
J
im Taylor once predicted that rookie placekicker Lui Passaglia wouldn’t last more than one season with the B.C. Lions. Taylor certainly missed on that guess, but like several of the 8,000-plus newspaper columns he has written, it’s a prediction that even today makes us laugh. The 73-year-old Saskatchewan-born Taylor will on Nov. 1 receive the 2010 Bruce Hutchison Lifetime Achievement Award at the 24th Annual Jack Webster Awards Dinner. Webster Foundation cochairs Neil Soper and Debora Sweeney noted that Taylor is the firstever recipient from the sports journalKevin Mitchell ism field. “I’m stunned and humbled to get the Hutch,” said Taylor, in a press release. “To me it’s our Oscar and Emmy combined. I couldn’t be happier it’s finally made it into the sports department. Thanks to all.” Soper and Sweeney went on to say that Taylor has for decades always engaged his audience with insightful, informative and often highly humourous commentary that goes well beyond the game of the day. “Jim Taylor has delivered the inside story day-in and day-out to legions of readers and set a high benchmark for reporting in British Columbia,” said Sweeney. I met Taylor a couple of times when I was writing sports in Nanaimo. Spent an hour with him and radio jock Gary Castello talking sports at the Coast Bastion Inn. Spent a few minutes of small talk with him at Les Varro’s gym watching Gordie Racette and Trevor Berbick train for a 1982 British Commonwealth heavyweight title fight. Taylor began his newspaper career in 1954 as a part-time sports reporter at the Daily Colonist in Victoria and later wrote for the Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Province and the Calgary Sun. He became a nationally syndicated sports columnist, author, and broadcaster.
BETWEEN THE LINES
Taylor has written 13 books, including “And to Think I Got in Free! Highlights from Fifty Years on the Sports Beat” which is scheduled to come out this month. I was lucky enough to get to know him better in 1986 as Castello and I asked him questions on numerous sports subjects. At the time, a normal day for Taylor started at 6 a.m. He rattled off three radio sportorials before 7:15 and drained 10 cups of coffee. Then it was time “to go looking for a column.” The “factory” as Taylor called it, consisted of a satellite dish, a live microphone which fed directly into CKNW-Radio and a computer which fed right into the Pacific Press Building. “It works because I work at home, and when it isn’t working, I can go jump in the pool or I can take my (wheelchair-bound) daughter for a walk or I can shoot some baskets with my son,” he told me. “I don’t have to worry about goons phoning up wanting the points so they can run their hockey pool or deciding whether Max Schmeling really beat Joe Louis because I don’t really care. “It’s a safe business, but it’s the business I love because I get in free. You know what they say about reporters, ‘Forgive us our press passes.’ It’s the greatest life and I wouldn’t trade it.” There was, however, the odd disturbing phone call. In 1972, Taylor wrote a scathing article on minor hockey. A woman called and asked him if he had a son. Taylor said yes, he had an eight-year-old boy who played soccer. The lady then said, before breaking into tears, she was going to kill Taylor and his son. The next morning, Taylor got a call from the woman’s husband, who asked the columnist if he had in fact received an earlier call from an irate lady. Taylor quickly told the man that everything was OK, and that he realized the woman was upset, and didn’t mean anything by the threats. The man then stunned Taylor with the following: “I was just calling to say we weren’t kidding.” His philosophy on life is basic. “Try not to take it too seriously because let’s face it, they’re not doing brain surgery
out there.” On Howard Cosell of Monday Night Football fame: “The show needed him, but he really is a pompous ass. How can he write three autobiographies? Gandhi didn’t even do that.” On radio talk shows: “I was doing a radio show once and a person phoned in and asked me how many goals did Bobby Hull score and I said, “Who gives a bleep?’” On the Canucks of ‘86: “I really think if the Vancouver Canucks were police, they couldn’t find the ignition to their squad cars. The team needs to be sold and shaken up. Tom Watt is doing as good a job as he can with the talent he’s got. There’s only one person I know who can win with that team and he’s busy in Heaven.”
After 16 years being a huge part of the Armstrong Shamrocks, Ryan Nitchie is leaving the senior lacrosse organization. The former rock ‘n roll singer will pass his marketing and management savvy over to the likes of Chad Pieper, Chad and Lori Pounder, Brett Logan, Pat Nelson and Glenn Mitchell (the one who works for M&K Ready Mix). While Nitchie won’t miss too many Friday night games in Lacrosseville, he will spend more time with his wife and two young daughters. There are few people in amateur sports who go the extra kilometre, and Nitchie is one of them. He sent out an e-mail outlining the fun he had in two decades with the Irish. Here are a few paragraphs. “What a run it has been. I’ve been fortunate enough to drink from the Shaw Cup five times. I’ve been to the finals nine times. I’ve beaten Kelowna in the provincials, I’ve seen three generations of lacrosse players roll through the rank and file of the Armstrong Shamrocks. “I’ve been fortunate enough to see Pat Nelson score a last-minute goal to win a Challenge Cup, I’ve seen Rick Wood score a last-second goal for a Shaw Cup, I’ve seen Adam Prevost beat Mike Kettles out of the corner to give us a Shaw Cup win, I’ve seen Chad Pieper rise from a spectator to MVP.”
The Salmon Arm SilverBacks remained the lone B.C. Hockey League team with a perfect record as they stopped the Merritt Centennials 2-1 Friday night at Nicola Valley Arena. All the scoring happened within the first 10 minutes, starting with Brett Knowles’ second goal of the early season at 5:11. Jakob Reichert answered for the 0-3 Cents shortly after, assisted by Alexander McMillan and Silvan Harper. Bryce Gervais, signed in the offseason from the Prince Albert Mintos AAA program, recorded the winner at 9:22 as Salmon Arm improved to 3-0. Netminder Kris Moore backstopped the Gorillas with a stellar performance, blocking 41 shots before 950 fans. The 20-year-old Calgary product has earned stars (two first and one second) in the nightly three star selections. Jared Anderson made 36 saves in the loss. The Westside Warriors collected their first win of the season Friday night, shading the host Trail
Smoke Eaters 3-2 before 965 fans at Cominco Arena. After a scoreless first period, the two teams swapped goals just 72 seconds apart midway through the second frame. Grayson Downing opened the scoring for Westside at 10:23, but Sam Mellor replied for Trail on the powerplay. Speedy Travis St. Denis, the younger brother of former Vernon Viper Kyle, gave the Smokies (2-1) the lead one minute into the third period, but the Warriors (1-2) closed the show with goals from Michael King and third star Tyler Brickler. Westside keeper Cam Gorchynski (31 saves) and Trail puck stopper Kiefer Smiley (35 saves) collected first and second star respectively. In other Friday night BCHL action, the Langley Chiefs buried Prince George Spruce Kings 6-3, Quesnel Millionaires stuffed Coquitlam Express 3-1, Surrey Eagles stormed Nanaimo Clippers 8-2, Powell River Kings shaded Victoria Grizzlies 4-3 in overtime, and the Alberni Valley Bulldogs stopped Cowichan Valley Capitals 5-4.

Maroons kick off stateside KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
When the Fulton Maroons slowly crawl off the bus around 4:30 this morning, they should be a much tighter and stronger football team. The Maroons jumpstarted their high school season by making their annual trek to the U.S. Instead of the small town of Omak, Wash., the 45-man senior and junior rosters went to Scappoose, Ore., a city about the same size as Vernon. The AA seniors fell 47-0 to the 4A team from Scappoose Friday night. “They were just bigger, stronger, faster, and they had a quarterback who could throw it on a rope,” said Maroons’ head coach Mike Scheller, who credited Greg Hyde and Lucas Hofer for turning in solid performances. Both Fulton teams took in Saturday's NCAA Division I game between the Oregon State Beavers and the Louisville Cardinals. It's all part of a process which Scheller believes will get Fulton back to the provincial playoffs after a rare miss last year. "We were third and we deserved to be third," he said of last season. "This year, we have 12 returnees and a short roster, but Grade 10s can play both leagues this year so our bigger Grade 10s will definitely be playing for us. The crew of Grade 12s we've got this year are good; they're leaders, and we're hoping to win the Okanagan. We think we've got a legit shot." Scheller, whose pint-sized dog Herby is the team's unofficial mascot, will rely on a strong offensive backfield and receiving core. His offensive line is undersized, but he expects them to be quick and aggressive. His go-to-guys will be easy to spot. They are big and talented Grade 12s who also excel in hoops and rugby. "Dalton Anderson, who's going to be a fullback and linebacker for us. He's been with us since Grade 9 and he's going to be a big help for us. Ben Olson, quarterback and defensive end, will be big for us and Greg Hyde, who is our all-everything. He can play anywhere and do anything, and he's going to be a stud for us as well." Anderson, who has provincial team rugby experience, likes the look of the rookies and understands his chores as a veteran. “The role as a leader on this team is pretty simple," said Anderson. "Keep the team in line. You gotta show what you can do before you prove what you do. You just can't go out there and be an all-star. You have to show it on the field and you have to agree with the coaches, do what your

Fulton Maroons' Quinten Ayers keeps moving forwards despite Austin Richardson's attempt to bring him down during a Maroons' football practice at Grahame Park. coach tells you and set a good example for the juniors." In addition to four practices a week which see the seniors and juniors on the Grahame Park pitch together, the Maroons go through special teams plays and meetings on game days. "We put something new in this year," said Anderson. "For our game day, we wear our jersey to school. Home games, we wear our maroons, visiting games we wear our whites just to keep it as a team and let the school know what's going on. It's a pretty good program here." Anderson said the players have big respect for Scheller, who asks for constant feedback on potential plays. "I grew up in Coldstream and I could have went to VSS or somewhere else, but I came here because I knew Scheller and what he's about." Anderson said new Grade 12s Cole Lawrie (receiver/cornerback) and Dustin MacDonald (offensive/ nose guard) are fitting in well as rookies. "Anyone who comes in with an athletic look can be taught football. If you play soccer, you can play football. You're fast. If you play hockey, you have the stamina and you should be able to keep up with everyone." Hyde figures Fulton will use a balanced mix of ground and air attack. "We're mainly young on the offensive line, but our receiving

and back core and quarterbacks are all returners so that will help us out a lot." Olson, a sports junkie whose No. 1 love is basketball, says the Maroons hope to use their speed and athleticism for victories. He's also impressed with the rookie crop. "They're really, really promising. They're tough kids. It was their first year for a lot of them last year, but they're flying around hitting like us pretty hard this year so they're looking good." Grade 11 Kyle Richardson, who also has a live arm, will serve as Olson's back up. The Maroons, whose coaching staff includes former CFLer Roger Scales, Cole Tucker, Darryl Thomas, Shane Gaythorpe, Adam Morad and Kevin Stecyk, open the regular season Friday, Oct. 1 against the Okanagan Mission Huskies at the Kelowna Apple Bowl.

Teachers value early Pro D day Canadian “Superfood” Gaining Advertorial
Morning Star Staff
Although Sept. 8 was the first day of school, Sept. 7 marked the first day of the 2010/11 calendar. But while students enjoyed an extra day of vacation, it was back to work for teachers, support staff and administrators. For the second year in a row, the Vernon School District has brought staff together for a professional development day. This year’s event brought close to 1,000 staff members, who gathered in the gym at Fulton secondary school to hear keynote speaker Wayne Hulley, president of Canadian Effective Schools Inc. “He brought a great message around making every day count,” said superintendent Bev Rundell at Tuesday’s district board meeting. “I think it was a really wonderful way to bring our district together. “From what I’ve heard from teachers and support staff, they really valued that morning.” Rundell singled out CUPE president Mark Olsen and secretary-treasurer Randy Hoffman, praising them for their support of CUPE staff, for whom the day was not officially a work day. In the afternoon, teachers returned to their individual schools for collaboration and individual school plans.
Students pocket $1,000 bursaries Morning Star Staff
A number of high school graduates have been recognized by the Vernon School District for their academic excellence. At Tuesday’s district board meeting, district superintendent Bev Rundell congratulated the 16 students, all of whom received a $1,000 award from the Grade 12 Graduation Program Examinations Scholarships Program. “We should be very proud of these students,” she said. “Congratulations to our students, families and staff for their commitment to learning.” Students are eligible to earn the scholarship if they meet a number of requirements: achieves at least a B final mark for provincial exam and school mark combined in English 12, Francais Langue Premiere 12 or English 12 First Peoples; achieves 86 per cent or higher in each of his or her three best Grade 12 provincial exams, which can include the English 12 provincial; fulfills the graduation requirements of the program. The awards can be redeemed when a student enters a designated post-secondary institution. This year’s recipients of these scholarships are: Peter Baumeister; Jenelle Backer; Melanie Backer; Julia Bailey; Devon Balcombe; Natalie Buntin; Preston Cooper; Lindsay Epp; Lisa Hettrich; Caitlan Krahn; Amanda Kuhn; McKenzie Lovsin; Stefan Raupach; Amy Spence; Whitney Taylor; Allegra Wolansky.

International Attention Creator of UMAC Core™
Still Def ying The Odds UMAC-CORE is a unique product created out of an urgent need. In 2004 Tom Harper was diagnosed with a life threatening illness caused by asbestos exposure and given only months to live. He had been raising shellfish at his Research Sea Farm on Vancouver Island, simultaneously perfecting the only method worldwide of growing wild phytoplankton for use in the Aquaculture industry. Based on the wild plankton’s powerful nutritional profile, upon his diagnosis he decided to consume the blend of micronutrients as an energy source he so desperately needed at the time. Every day he ingested the minute ocean plants and every day he felt stronger and experienced less pain. Finally a surgeon performed exploratory surgery. To the doctor’s surprise he was inexplicably able to deliver Mr. Harper a clean bill of health. Six years later, Tom Harper is healthy and, in his words, “feeling totally different. I’m pain free and I’m leading a good, healthy, normal life.” Not long after the product was officially launched in Canada and the U.S.A., the University of Utah completed a randomized full double-blind placebo-control pilot study of UMAC-CORE over a 90 day period with human subjects. Doctors who conducted the studies were impressed with the results and concluded that UMAC-CORE really does help enhance the immune system and support mood fluctuations, quality of sleep, and overall emotional well-being. UMAC-CORE quickly gained far more attention than Harper could have imagined. “People were experiencing really positive shifts in their health,” Harper says. “Our success was consumer driven and we weren’t quite prepared for the demand. There were times when staff would offer to spend the night at the office so that we could get the product out, and they often did!” Today UMAC-CORE is available in over 800 health food stores across Canada, in stores all across the United States and overseas in Australia, New Zealand and Spain. Following the interest and countless testimonials from the public, UMAC-CORE has been written about in dozens of newspapers across North America – and the excitement continues to grow.
Tom Harper—Creator of UMAC Core™ Marine Phytoplankton carefully inspects a sample of newly grown wild Phytoplankton at his Sea farm on Vancouver Island, BC In fact, an independent website www.whyplankton.com offers an opportunity to view the amazing “Another Day” video documentary of Mr. Harper’s patent pending discovery.
Unique Sea Farms’ only by-product is pure oxygen! Marine Phytoplankton consumes carbon dioxide and releases oxygen back into the atmosphere as it blooms in the one million litre outdoor open tanks.
Kim Iles of Choices 4 Wellness – a Retailer in Chatham Ontario says, “I recommend UMAC-CORE to everybody – it’s one of the top two products in our whole store and that’s because people see results! I tell people that if they needed to pick only one thing, then pick UMAC-CORE. It has all the vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. It’s a complete food and does so many different things in the body that it’s probably the most complete supplement to recommend.”
Also, once the majority of plankton is harvested, the remaining plankton nutrients are returned back to the ocean – 3 to 5 times more than what was originally “borrowed” to commence the bloom cycle; helping to strengthen the base of the ocean’s food chain.
People are even giving it to their pets with remarkable results. In fact, Kim Iles says it’s the results she gets with animals that have convinced her of the product’s efficacy. “It’s not a placebo effect when you give it to your pets. We’ve nursed sick animals back to health with UMAC-CORE. That’s how I judge if a product really works – if you can see results with animals – and we do.” Mr. Harper’s Sea Farm which grows the wild phytoplankton offered in UMACCORE is also making a positive impact on the environment. “I consider it one on the greenest companies in the world. Not only are we able to give back to human beings, we are also giving back to the planet.”
Extraordinary benefits have already been discovered with a product that has only been available for 5 years, with new clinical trials presently underway! UMAC Core is available in Liquid and Capsule formulations. For information call Hedley Enterprises at 1-888-292-5660 or to locate a Retailer near you go on-line to: www.umaclife.com

Lake Country adopts OCP Morning Star Staff
The District of Lake Country has a new blueprint for future development. Council recently adopted a new official community plan, which will be the document the district uses to guide land use decisions over the next 20 years. “The updated OCP retains several of the policies from previous planning exercises, but focuses on ease of use and user-friendliness,” said Mayor James Baker. “In new policy areas, the document also makes commitments to sustainability and protecting local ecosystems.” The OCP is the product of several years of consultation, research and review by council, staff and the public. The process was built on input from stakeholder groups, surveys, several open houses in all wards, and also the required public hearing process. “Council is very proud of the document and the consultation that went into preparing it,” said Baker. “We heard from many residents, and worked hard towards putting together a document that reflects their vision.” With the new plan, the district will be one of the first communities in B.C. to take advantage of new development permit guidelines to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to protect new development from interface wildfires. “The new greenhouse gas and wildfire permits will allow the district to take a proactive approach towards these pressing issues, while the new permit exemption systems will also make sure development doesn’t get hung up in red tape,” said Baker.
Fire ban still in place Morning Star Staff
Effective noon Monday, category three open fires remain prohibited in the Vernon fire zone, and category two fires and fireworks are only allowed in areas above 1,000 metres in elevation. Category two open fires burn material smaller than two metres in height and three metres in width, or stubble or grass covering less than 2,000 square metres. Category three open fires are larger than two metres by three metres, cover an area larger than 2,000 square metres, or burn more than two piles of any size. Anyone found in violation of an open fire ban may be issued a ticket for $345. Should a wildfire occur as a result of recklessness, a person can be fined up to $1 million or spend three years in prison and be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs. To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call *5555 on your cellphone, or toll-free to 1 800 6635555. For more information on wildfire management in B.C., go to www.bcwildfire.ca.

! CENTURY OF FUN AND FRIENDSHIP Morning Star Staff
Young people have been joining Scouts and Guides for fun, friends and adventure for more than 100 years. Scouting started in England in 1907 and Guiding is proud to celebrate its 100 anniversary this year. The Scouts and Guides are celebrating 100 years in Canada. There have been Scout and Guide units in Vernon since the 1930s and many people have wonderful memories of their experiences. The Greater Vernon Museum currently has a special exhibit to mark the centennial. “It was amazing when we had our registration day and so many people came up and told us they used to be involved in Scouts or Guides. The membership has been growing and we’re really excited about that,� said Lisa Coley-Donohue, area service scouter and past area commissioner. “I was a little Brownie and went through the program for years and loved it. Then when I had a son, I got interested in volunteering with Scouts. I love the outdoors and the way we are connecting our youth with the natural environment so they will learn how to take care of the world.�
Coley-Donohue said she thinks many people — youth and adults — now have what she calls nature deficit disorder and need to re-connect with the natural world. The Scouts are involved in many outdoors projects, including the Ribbons of Green Trails and planting trees. Judy Loog, past area commissioner and leader, also started early in the Guides organization. “I was a Brownie and so was my mom. When I had daughters, I went back with them. The program has so much to offer. Scouts is now co-ed but there is something special about the all-female units. They’re very empowering. They teach the girls that women and girls can do everything — planning, management and leadership. There are some great role models for the girls,� she said. “Since there are Guide units all over the world, they can make friends wherever they go. My daughter started as a Spark and when she went to France for her education, she was able to be involved in Guides there.� The Guides at all levels plan and participate in community projects like anti-bullying, road and shoreline
clean-up, supporting the street nurse and food bank and visiting seniors. “It’s also an excellent organization for adult women as a way to make friends and get training even if you have not been in Guiding before. You will find yourself doing things you never thought you could do, and it keeps you young to work with young people,� said Loog. Last summer, local Guides camped at Camp Tillicum, walked the West Coast Trail, went kayaking and attended the Provincial Jamboree. Guides and Scouts have weekly meetings throughout the school year and activities in the summer. Registration for area units is on now. The first two youth in a family pay the regular fee while any other children in the family can join for free to help keep it affordable. There is financial assistance available so that no child will be excluded from Scout/ Guide programs. For more information and registration on Guides, call Loog at 250-549-7461 and for Scouts, call Coley-Donohue at 250-542-3180, or 1-888-SCOUTS NOW, e-mail joinscouts.ca or see www.girlguide.ca or www.scouts.ca.

Birthday with a difference Morning Star Staff
Tianna Colvin and her friends had a wonderful time at her eighth birthday party but they remembered to help others at the same time. Tianna, a Grade 3 Beairsto school student, asked her friends to bring a cash donation instead of gifts so she could give it to local charities. Her parents, J.C. Colvin and Shelley Zupp, brought up the idea of having a birthday party without gifts every second year. This is the second time Tianna has had a party without gifts and her brother, Landon Colvin, 10, has also had two parties without gifts and made donations to charities. Her mother saves newspaper articles about local organizations over the year and then the children choose the ones they want to help.
“I thought it would be kind of cool to help these kids who need some extra help,” said Tianna, who gave $80 to Teen Junction and $80 to Trees Make A Difference. “My friends thought it was okay and we had a good party at the water slide and we got to ride in a limo and pretend we were movie stars.” Zupp said the family supports others by having foster children in Central America and Africa and that Tianna has had her hair cut to donate for wigs for cancer patients twice and has an iced tea stand for charity. Landon also raises money for charity in a variety of ways, including shoveling snow. “We are trying to teach our children an attitude of gratitude. In our culture we have so much but they do it because they want to help when they understand there

What can I do so my skin will look better? The Oxylift has been around for years with the technology being used in spas in many countries. It is a high frequency device that tones, stimulates collagen, firms and reduces puffiness around the eyes. It also sterilizes the surface of the skin with the Ozone it produces so it brings cleanliness on the surface and promotes regeneration and firmness of the skin. Another benefit is the even skin tone, skin discolorations are diminished and the radiance of the skin is increased. The skin’s circulation is improved and it acts as a catalyst for better penetration of skin care products. People that suffer from puffiness in the eye area also benefit greatly. Dr. Kadir’s New Collagen is a skin treatment line that people claim to notice a difference in their skin almost overnight. Especially noticed if your skin is dull, has crepey appearance or lack of firmness. It has a positive effect on the skin increasing elasticity and restoring the structure of the skin. Your skin looks fresher, younger. Bring this article in for a FREE SAMPLE while quantities last. Enjoy September. It looks like we may have some good weather! Hopefully! Talk to you next month.

Visiting writer breathes life into words JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
The bold text catches his eye, his pen scribbles them over blank pages, his lips guide them to an audience and his mind is addicted to them. Peter Midgley has a compulsion. A true love of words. “They excite me, I just love them,” said Midgley, the new writer in residence at the Mackie Lake House. “I could read all day, I could write all day.” And that is just what Midgley has been doing for the past week in Vernon, working on a travel book, while residing at the Mackie House. That and getting ready to launch his new book of poems titled perhaps i should/miskien moet ek. He’s excited to breathe life into his work for everyone interested at the official launch Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the lecture theatre at Okanagan College. The book is a collection of poems written as recently as four weeks ago and as early as 1985, written all over the world. “Everywhere from airports in Amsterdam to Edmonton to somewhere in the Rockies,” said the award-winning author. Although the poems do not carry a strict theme, many revolve around immigration. Midgley currently resides in Edmonton, but grew up in South Africa, therefore some of his work touches on coming to Canada and the many ways he had to re-learn the environment. With Canada being such a multicultural community, Midgley hopes many can relate to his poems. “So many Canadians are immigrants or children of immigrants.” Just as he speaks in more than one language, he also writes in more than one language, and his book reflects that with some works written in Afrikaans. While in town, Midgley is also eager to share his love of words with children. As a children’s book author, he routinely reads stories to kids – a pasttime he feels is very important. “Be here and make art visible, that’s the key thing.”
JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR
The new writer in residence at the Mackie House, Peter Midgley, reviews his collection of poems in preparation for the Tuesday launch of his book perhaps i should/miskien moet ek. The entire experience at the Mackie House is humbling to Midgley, whose book is the eighth in the Mackie Lake House Series. “It’s a great honour to follow people like Robert Kroetsch... Dennis Cooley. The writers that have come here are extraordinary people who have really set Canadian literature on fire.”
Plus, while temperatures back home in Edmonton are now showing “that silly minus sign in front of them,” Midgley can’t help but enjoy the Okanagan. “What’s not to enjoy?” Midgley heads home next weekend where he resumes a busy life working full time at a press then coming home to his wife and family.

Even though we sell vitamin products in our pharmacy, we are cautious in our recommendations. Recently, it has been found that vitamin B supplements containing higher amounts of folic acid, B6 and vitamin B12 may have detrimental effects on kidney function in diabetics and may increase the risk of heart problems. Even vitamins can be a double-edged swords. Get advice before beginning any vitamin therapy. We have always said that it is important to carry a list of the medications you take with you at all times. This list can be very helpful in emergency situations. Those who take warfarin, a potent anticoagulant drug, would also be advised to carry a list of their blood test results and dose of warfarin they are taking. This information can also be helpful. We all know the benefits of a good night sleep. Adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night. Now there is some evidence that poor sleeping habits can affect the way our body uses insulin to process sugar in the bloodstream. Diabetes is lined to poor diet and insufficient exercise. Now sleep may play a part. Head lice is not caused by our environment. It is spread through direct hair-to-hair contact. That’s why head lice is so common in schools and daycare centres.

‘Beatles’ beats at bash Morning Star Staff
Think of a time when music was more commonly an activity of its own, not something played in the background or heard in passing. It was the days of carefully matching needle to vinyl, perhaps even putting on a favourite set of oversized headphones; when music was experienced without random or shuffle – but as an entire album. From start to finish, an album was thought of as a work of art. That’s what Toronto-based Classic Albums Live has stepped up to preserve. The company’s founder Craig Martin holds himself responsible for ensuring the albums of the rock-gods are kept sacred; they are recreating that reminiscent feeling in their performances nationwide. That’s exactly what Classic Albums Live means to do for their Vernon performance of the Beatles’ Abbey Road album on Oct. 3 at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre’s ninth annual Birthday Bash. Note for note, cut for cut. This is no tribute act, though. There are no flashy lights or replicated costumes to give off the illusion that John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison or Ringo Starr are on stage. You won’t see jumping around or styled wigs to paint the scene that the performers are “rock-
ers” and have a lineup of groupies waiting offstage. It’s a show that wholly revolves around recreating great music, and nothing is allowed to blind that aspect. “There is no show,” said Martin. Instead, the performance is all about: “seeing (the) guy’s fingers execute these death-defying feats of guitar and drums and keyboards and violins.” ‘Note for note, cut for cut’ is exactly what Classic Albums Live has accomplished in its eight years. “If there is an orchestra on the album for a specific track, there will be an orchestra on stage giving the audience the closest thing to watching the Beatles perform as though they were in a recording studio,” said Martin. Step back in time when The Beatles were the world’s heartthrobs as the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre Society kicks off its 2010/11 presentation season with its ninth annual Birthday Bash. The Abbey Road performance starts at 8 p.m. For tickets contact the Ticket Seller at 549-SHOW (7469). Tickets are $35 for adults, $32 for seniors, $30 for students, $5 eyeGO and $28 for Members Plus. Discounts available for members of Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre Society.

Wolf leading truck safety pack GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Wolf Trailer Company is on a roll. Or rather, it is on an anti-roll. After three long years of research and development, the Vernon-based company is on the verge of beginning production on its roll-coupled trailer hitch, something that is set to revolutionize trucking safety and productivity, simultaneously. Larry Wulff, who heads the company’s research and development, is calling roll-couple technology the most significant improvement in the trucking industry in the last 80 years. Traditionally, trucks pulling pony trailers, quad full trailers and A-trains have been attached using pintle hitches, but Wulff said they do nothing to prevent trailers from rolling over in situations where drivers are forced to take evasive maneuvers when driving on highways. “Pintle hitches were invented when the biggest truck on the road was a Model-T,” smiled Wulff. Truck and trailer combinations using Wolf ’s roll-couple hitches can’t roll independent of one another, meaning a rollover is less likely to happen. “They (truck and trailer) become more stable than they would be on their own,” said Wulff. “The difference is quite remarkable. When people drive trucks that are roll-coupled, they can feel it immediately. If the truck driver can feel what the trailer is doing, he can drive accordingly.” As an example, Wulff said a tri-drive truck pulling a four-axle wagon would have a load transfer ratio of 0.94 (a value of 1.00 is a guaranteed rollover) during a standard evasive maneuver. Testing indicates that same vehicle equipped with a roll-coupling device would reduce the ratio to 0.526, which is below the 0.60 maximum required by the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC). Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster attended a roll-couple trailer demonstration earlier this year and was thoroughly impressed. He watched as a fully loaded Wolf trailer drove over a massive rut. “His units backed over it and the trailer hardly sagged at all, and the tridem wheels of the trailer were in the air,” said Foster. “The demonstrations they were doing were quite amazing. “He (Wulff) did a great job with it and he had the top people in the industry work-

When you do that, the ministry people are very open to having a look at it. It was all first class.” Earlier this summer, Wolf Trailers gained provincial approval to manufacture roll-coupled tridem trailers that will be permitted to carry full-axle weight in B.C. Company representatives recently met with the four western provinces in Lloydminster, Sask. to discuss the standardization of industry guidelines. Next, they will travel to Toronto in November to petition the TAC to change the Memorandum of Understanding (interprovincial regulation) to allow roll-coupled trailers to carry full axle weight. “We’re very close to an agreement on a manufacturing standard,” said Wulff, of the provincial meetings. “The provinces all want to improve safety on their highways, so the motivation is there.” If trucking companies do gain approval to haul full-axle weight, Wulff said it will greatly
boost efficiency and productivity within the industry. “Truckers right now that buy a tridem trailer can only carry 21,000 kilograms. If it’s a roll-coupled trailer, they can carry 3,000 kg more in B.C. In other provinces it will go up to 26,000 kg,” explained Wulff. He adds that roll-coupling a tandem-drive truck-tandem pony trailer will increase carrying capacity by around 21 per cent, and most significantly, A-trains could see capacity increased by 9,000 kg. “That means you need one out of five less trucks in a place like Vancouver where the roads are congested. Less exhaust emissions, less tires in the landfills – it makes quite a difference,” said Wulff. “The industry gets productivity and the public gets safer highways. It’s a win-win all around.” He noted some existing trailers would not be able to be retrofitted because they might
not be capable of withstanding the extra stresses involved with using a roll-coupled hitch. But he added the money earned from hauling increased payloads would likely pay the trailer off within a year. Wulff said this three-year endeavor would not have been possible without collaboration from many industry and government partners. He thanked LangFab Fabricators, Roga Contracting, Ed Elliott Trucking, Woody’s Sand and Gravel and Mormak Equipment, who all supplied vehicles and other equipment. He additionally thanked FPInnovations, Mike Macnabb, P.Eng. (Innovative Vehicle Testing), Tolko Industries, Progress Machine, & Barry Bertoli (CVSE) who assisted in roll stability testing during the past two years. Wulff said New Zealand is currently looking at revising its regulations to adopt the roll-coupling technology, and he expects Australia, with its performance-based standards, will soon follow suit.

Siblings bring in Bikram Bikram is similar to other types of Hatha yoga in that it utilizes a variety of body bending asanas (poses) and pranayama (breathing techniques). But Bikram goes a step further by holding its 90-minute classes in a super-heated room (105 degrees F) with 40 per cent humidity. It doesn’t take long for sweat to flow during practice, eliminating toxins through the pores and cleansing your body. Other benefits of the heat include increased flexibility, a higher rate of metabolism and changes in muscle tone. The class is
designed for all fitness levels, even beginners. As Bikram Choudhury, the founder of this style of yoga, said: “It’s never too late, it’s never too bad, and you’re never too old or too sick to start from scratch once again.” Nearing the end of a full renovation of their building, the Kopeks are thrilled the opening is so close. Their studio stand apart from other Bikram studios in that the room is efficiently heated by 6,000 feet of radiant floor piping.

With fall just around the corner, and cooler weather on the way, now is an ideal time to have your furnace serviced or upgraded before the busy winter season starts. The Better Business Bureau warns the public to be cautious about misleading heating contractors who may use scare tactics to convince homeowners to buy a new furnace or authorize expensive, but unneeded, repairs to their heating system. “Every fall we see an increase in consumer inquiries about heating contractors showing up offering everything from duct cleaning to furnace inspections,” said Lynda Pasacreta, BBB president and CEO. “While most furnace companies are reputable, competent, and fair, there are con artists that may try to frighten you into unnecessary installations or repairs, using fear as their main tactic.” Last fall, the BBB received reports

SWITZERLAND - My wife and I are people watching, sitting outside of The Café Rathaus on the banks of the River Ruess. We are nibbling on a tasty pretzel pastry and sipping on wheat beer brewed right on the premises in big copper cauldrons and served in tall thin glass steins. It is a beautiful Spring day, and the feeling of amour is in the air. Young men and ladies flirt along the concrete boulevard that hugs the river bank. Elegant white swans float alongside looking for handouts. A refreshing breeze blows off of the turquoise waters of Lake Lucerne, twirling through the charming, medieval, cobblestone streets of Lucerne. The idyllic town of 60,000 is one of the prettiest cities I have visited. Built astride the river at the western tip of the lake, it has long served as the geographical and spiritual heart of Switzerland. After the opening of the Gotthard pass in the early 13th century, the city had grown wealthy as an important staging post on the route between Italy and northern Europe. It joined the young Swiss Confederation in 1332. We had arrived in Lucerne that morning. After an hour rail trip from Zurich we stepped into the transparent entrance hall of Lucerne’s impressive train station with its elegant curved roof, and then strolled through the massive arch at the entrance, the main portal of the old station. First on our itinerary is a leisurely walk through Old Town. The river splits the town, flowing rapidly to the northwest where the lake ends. We cross the waterway on the famous Kapellbrucke, Chapel Bridge. The cov-

People spend some time at a cafe located along the banks of the River Reuss in Lucerne. ered, wooden bridge is the centrepiece of Lucerne, one of the oldest bridges of its type in Europe. Built in 1333 as a part of the city’s fortifications and named after nearby St. Peter’s Chapel, the bridge is over 550
feet long and, uniquely, crosses the river diagonally. Paintings depicting scenes of local history hang from the ceiling of the bridge.

Continued from previous page One of the panels depicts William Tell shooting the apple from his son’s head. Wasserturm, the Water Tower, is a massif stone tower that was added to the bridge. The 34-metre-high octagonal tower is said to have been used as a prison, a watch tower and, now, as Guild Hall for municipal meetings. Our route returns us across the River Ruess on the Spreuer Bridge. This bridge was completed as a part of the city fortification in 1408. Between 1626 and 1635, Kaspar Meglinger added 67 macabre paintings which represent the “Dance of Death.” In each piece of haunting artwork, the spectre of death is depicted as always at our sides. Undaunted, we carry on, meandering through the narrow alleys, past 15th century houses, their facades painted with colourful frescoes. The Jesuit church dating from the 17th century is regarded as Switzerland’s first sacral Baroque building, and the twin towers of the Hofkirche form an integral part of the townscape. A part of the 14th century rampart wall is preserved along with nine of its towers, three of which are open to the public. We climb their wooden staircases for a view of the city. The oldest city clock, built in 1535, is in the Zyt tower, and is allowed to chime one minute early each hour in deference to its age. A moving and remarkable sculpture, “The Dying Lion of Lucerne,” is carved out of the side of a granite cliff. It commemorates the Swiss soldiers who died in the French Revolution. The monument can bring tears to your eyes. Mark Twain described

The wooden Chapel Bridge is one of the oldest bridges of its type in Europe. the Lion of Lucerne as “the saddest and most moving piece of rock in the world.” Feeling sad we opt for our riverside beer. We tarry by the quay-side and watch the comings and goings of the lake steamers which head up lake calling in at villages. On a whim, we hop aboard a comfortable
steamer for a two-hour cruise. The boat zigzags through the 39-kilometres-long and threekilometres wide lake, stopping at places on both shores. With its impressive mountainous panorama, it is somewhat reminiscent of a fjord landscape, yet remains characterized by a mild
lake climate. We jump off at Weggis for a taste of home made cheese and a sip of wine, and then board the next boat
headed homeward. Jamie Ross is with Travel Writers’ Tales, an independent travel article syndicate.

Order brought to motorized use of trails JUDIE STEEVES
It’s already cost an estimated $1 million, but much of that went into the planning and design work which won’t have to be repeated as trail-building work continues, Glaspie noted. The most difficult job is changing 20 years of bad habits, he commented. For decades, dirt bike riders have been creating their own trails all over the Crown land off Bear Main forest service road west, many of which channeled flows of water and sediment down hills and into the nearest creeks after a storm. It was a scenario that concerned water utilities which maintains a domestic water intake from Bear Creek in that area.
Black Press
The “Wild West” attitude of riding anywhere on Crown land in B.C., is over, says John Glaspie, recreation officer in the Okanagan for the ministry of tourism. He’s responsible for management of the province’s largest recreation site, the 35,000-hectare Bear Creek Recreation Site off Westside Road. It was created in 2007 and there are 150 kilometres of trails for motorized off-road vehicles are being built. Today, dirt bikers and ATV riders are not welcome to ride off-road wherever they wish, so it’s important that trails be provided so they have a place to ride, he explains.
Trails also crossed Bear Creek and tributaries such as Bald Range Creek, which also raised red flags for the water utility in whose watershed the trails were created, as well as Interior Health. Today, instead of eight trail accesses crossing Bald Range Creek, there’s one, with an 11-metre bridge crossing over the 1.68metre stream, and fencing preventing riders from travelling anywhere but over the bridge and up the other side of the ravine, away from the creek itself. At the bridge, Glaspie points out that the preservative used on the wood is vegetable oil made in South America and approved by the Ministry of Environment for such
applications. Only three or four trees had to be removed for the bridge and the handrail is notched to accommodate another, which was not removed. The creek’s riparian area was not altered in building the bridge, because it’s been engineered much larger than was absolutely necessary. Behind the stout barbed wire fencing along the creek, bunchberry, ferns, clematis, pyrola and other riparian plants are thriving while riders garbed in jumpsuits, cruiser boots, off-road body armour and showy helmets that match their bikes roar over the bridge and up the trail.

The B.C. government is reducing its forecast deficits for the next three years, based mainly on higher than expected corporate income tax revenues. Plummeting corporate tax payments were largely blamed for B.C.’s sudden plunge into deficit last year, when a worldwide credit crisis stalled construction and investment and triggered job losses across the country. A pre-election deficit estimate of $495 million ballooned to nearly $1.8 billion in the summer of 2009. Now Finance Minister Colin Hansen says the deficit Colin Hansen is expected to be $1.4 billion for the 2010-11 fiscal year, a reduction of $335 million from the previous forecast. The province’s deficit for 2011-12 is now projected to be $810 million, falling to $130 million in 2012-13. The finance ministry expects B.C.’s red ink will end in 2013-14, with a surplus of $80 million. Hansen noted that the forecast depends on continued recovery in the U.S. and world economy. Presenting the first-quarter financial report, he said B.C.’s employment, retail and exports have all show signs of improvement. He stopped short of attributing the improvement to the harmonized sales tax that reduced business costs beginning last July, pointing instead to corporate tax cuts instituted previously. “We have very competitive corporate tax rates in British Columbia, and those competitive rates are generating some very healthy revenues for us in these coming three years,” Hansen said. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston said Hansen is painting a rosy picture that downplays the latest signals from the U.S., where unemployment remains high and the housing market continues to struggle.
Statistics Canada reports that as of August, the number of employed people in B.C. has climbed back up to 2.32 million, the same level it reached in August 2008.

Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay to put your personal imprint on most of your involvements in the year ahead, as long as it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done at the expense of others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - This could be a perfect day to plan a pleasant social diversion with loved ones and/or friends. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s active, like a sport, just whatever gets you to relax. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - If you start something and are not able to finish it for one reason or another, you could be quite chagrined.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - This is a good day to touch bases with someone whom you feel youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve neglected a bit lately.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Even if your financial situation is pretty healthy, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason to get reckless when out shopping.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Chances are that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the one among your family to effectively manage things in ways that are best for everyone. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let someone who lacks this ability usurp your position. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Your instincts might be just as valuable as your logic, especially when handling situations that could affect your reputation. Listen to your inner voice when you find yourself rafting through whitewater. ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Extending yourself for someone that you know is in need could end up making a friend of this person for
life. It might turn out to be a very special and rewarding relationship.

PUBLIC MEETING Proposed Fire Suppression Area Extension for Residents of SILVER CREEK
Moderately Confused
A public information meeting is being scheduled to discuss the proposed extension of the fire supression service to properties south of the existing boundaries of the Silver Creek Fire Suppresion area.
Bridge by Phillip Alder The Senior Life Master was having a glass of white wine in the bar of the bridge club with a fellow competitor. “Isn’t it nice that the oppressively hot weather has finally broken?” asked the friend. “Yes,” replied the SLM, “but a glass of sauvignon blanc still refreshes after an afternoon duplicate. “How did you get on?” “Not well -- and you?” “All right. Our best board was number seven. What was your result?” “My partner went down in four spades like everyone else, losing one
heart, two diamonds and one club. Maybe I should have given only a single raise.” I agree with inviting game (the SLM replied). Although the hand might have useless queens, five trumps probably tempted some to bid four spades. And not everyone went down. When West led the club queen, my partner saw that finding East with ace-doubleton of hearts would not help. The only hope to avoid four losers was a 3-3 club break and a club continuation. So, at trick one, my partner smoothly dropped his club eight.
This meeting will be held on: West, thinking he had found his one good lead of the year, continued with the club 10. My partner won, drew trumps, and, when the clubs were 3-3, discarded one of dummy’s diamond losers on his club two.

BULLOCK, Gordon George 1945 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2010
Gordon George Bullock was born October 8, 1945 in Vancouver, BC and passed away September 15, 2010 with his loving family at his side following a lengthy battle with cancer. Everyone who knew Gordie, knew him as a kind, generous, fun loving and big-hearted man. His family: loving wife, Jackie, to whom he was married for forty-four years; his two children, Troy and Rachael; his favourite daughter-in-law, Lena, and the love of his life, his granddaughter, Jaden, were most important to him. His two dogs, McCurdy and Murphy, were his constant companions. Gordie had many close friends and travelling companions, too numerous to mention. He loved golf and was a member of Spallumcheen Golf Club for many years. Gord and Jackie owned and operated Red Top Grocery and Boots for thirty-ďŹ ve years. People from all over the Okanagan not only bought boots there but enjoyed conversations, ice cream and slurpees. In earlier days, Gord was a coach for both minor hockey and the RCMP hockey teams as well as running the Spallumcheen junior program for many years. He will be greatly missed. Thank you to Dr. Dippenaar, Dr. Hardy, Dr. Johnson, the nurses, staff and volunteers at the North Okanagan Hospice and the Cancer Clinic for their dedicated care and sincere efforts. Friends and family are invited to celebrate Gordieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life Sunday, September 19, 2010 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Paddlewheel Hall, 7813 Okanagan Landing Road, Vernon, BC.

Grace France passed away peacefully in the late afternoon of September 9th, 2010 at Westridge Care Residence in Vernon. Grace was born in Manchester, England on January 11th, 1916.

The family would like to thank the following people: The staff of Orchard Valley for their support during her time there, the care aids from Interior Health whose help enabled her to live independently until earlier this year, the staff of Westridge who provided excellent care during her short time there and who provided great support to the family and made every effort to make her comfortable in her ďŹ nal days, the staff in the emergency department at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital who provided great care during her several visits there over the last few years, the nurses and staff on the 2nd and 3rd ďŹ&#x201A;oors of the Vernon Jubilee Hospital who treated her with care and dignity during her times spent there in recent years and to Dr. Meyer and his staff for providing excellent care. There will be no funeral at her request. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers the family would request donations to the Vernon Jubilee Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tower of Care campaign.
